In a very surprising move to his fans and haters alike, Logan Paul is finally using his voice to speak out against white privilege and racial injustices in America.
It’s not something we’ve become accustomed to hearing from the 25-year-old social media influencer and controversial YouTube personality, who is usually on the more problematic side of any controversy.
But according to the passionate speech he delivered on the latest episode of his Impaulsive podcast, he may be turning over a new leaf and actually getting… woke??

As you’re likely aware, many celebrities have spoken out in support of the Black Lives Matter movement and openly condemned the horrible ongoing police brutality highlighted by George Floyd‘s tragic death.
But we expect thoughtful words of wisdom from George Clooney or Lorde.
But it was Paul who caught everyone’s attention on Tuesday, not with a trendy black box or minuscule monetary donation, but with one of the most passionate verbal statements we’ve seen thus far! To kick off the discussion titled America Is Racist, the YT star said:
“Listen closely, one of my biggest learnings from all of this — and I’m embarrassed that it’s taken me 25 years to realize this — It is not enough to be not racist. You have to be anti-racist. Condemn those who feign superiority because of the color of their skin.”
Preaaaach! Very well said. You’d almost forget this is the same guy who cruelly filmed a dead body in a forest for views…
Logan went on to explain how he has never feared for his life at a routine traffic stop and how he can often get away with “hooligan s**t” in his videos because he’s white. He actually understands his privilege! And he’s definitely not wrong about it!
In fact, he took matters a step further and called out his brother Jake Paul for using his privilege to join looters in Arizona instead of standing with peaceful protestors in Los Angeles, as he did on Tuesday afternoon.
You KNOW things are getting real when freaking LOGAN PAUL starts making sense! WATCH the episode in full (below), with the star’s comments about his brother beginning at about the 13-minute mark:
Do YOU think Logan Paul is going to be more serious from now on? Or is this just a break from the immaturity because the situation is just that dire??
