1 00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,199 Speaker 1: Now tell me if you have any problem with this post, 2 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:07,360 Speaker 1: because maybe people are just overreacting. So they put a 3 00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:12,280 Speaker 1: picture out of the pilots of the Artemis two. It's 4 00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:18,320 Speaker 1: a former col poly dual sport athlete, Victor Glover, former athlete. 5 00:00:18,640 --> 00:00:21,040 Speaker 1: He's now behind the wheel if you want to call 6 00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:22,320 Speaker 1: it that of the artemist too. 7 00:00:23,360 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 2: This was the post. It is a picture of him. 8 00:00:25,640 --> 00:00:30,600 Speaker 1: Former Cal poly dual sport athlete, Victor Glover is set 9 00:00:30,680 --> 00:00:34,640 Speaker 1: to become the first black man to pilot a flight 10 00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:39,839 Speaker 1: around the moon. Now, at first, maybe I didn't look 11 00:00:39,880 --> 00:00:43,040 Speaker 1: closely at it. I didn't see anything over the top. 12 00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:47,800 Speaker 1: But then the comments started happening. Why is ESPN pointing 13 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:50,960 Speaker 1: out that this is a black man? Should it matter? 14 00:00:51,800 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: By pointing out the fact that he's a black man? 15 00:00:54,360 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 1: Does that kind of diminish the fact? Like people start 16 00:00:57,880 --> 00:01:01,160 Speaker 1: thinking it's a Dei pick or something like did they 17 00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:04,080 Speaker 1: do him a disservice by trying to point out he's 18 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:06,960 Speaker 1: the first black man to pilot a flight around the moon? 19 00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,479 Speaker 3: Let me tell them. If there's anything the world's woke 20 00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,679 Speaker 3: leader in sports won't do, it's continue to do this. 21 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,119 Speaker 3: It rubs people the wrong way. I don't once again. 22 00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 3: I've always designated myself as somebody I don't have a 23 00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:21,120 Speaker 3: community behind me. So when people talk about equality and 24 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:24,000 Speaker 3: you say the first black, the first white, the first gay, 25 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,360 Speaker 3: the first trains, the first lesbian, then we're not equals. 26 00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 3: You're designating yourself as different from everybody else. 27 00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: So who cares what he is? You could say, first 28 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:35,560 Speaker 2: dual athlete to go. 29 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:38,120 Speaker 3: Race is not supposed to matter, at least that's what 30 00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:39,039 Speaker 3: you've been telling me. 31 00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:44,800 Speaker 1: Right, Like you're almost just throwing this big victory party 32 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,479 Speaker 1: for the fact that he's black. 33 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:46,959 Speaker 2: That's it. 34 00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:49,240 Speaker 3: And he guess what, he had no say. 35 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 1: Right, he's probably the most qualified person to do this. Like, 36 00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:56,600 Speaker 1: I don't know much about NASA and they're hiring practices, 37 00:01:56,880 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: but there was a lot of pressure on this operation. 38 00:02:00,240 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 3: You're a white guy. How much of us, say, did 39 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,240 Speaker 3: you have in that zero? So why should I ever 40 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,040 Speaker 3: say you're the first white? Right? 41 00:02:07,160 --> 00:02:08,000 Speaker 2: Nothing to do with you. 42 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:12,080 Speaker 1: Oh, And like I said, NASA's got so much pressure. 43 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:15,200 Speaker 1: They had to get this right. So many people were 44 00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:17,840 Speaker 1: watching yesterday and Jerry, you would feel. 45 00:02:17,720 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 3: Stuff be mad if he said first hispanic to make 46 00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:21,800 Speaker 3: this I'd be I'd be mad. 47 00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:25,400 Speaker 1: So many people were watching this yesterday thinking are they 48 00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:27,320 Speaker 1: going to make it? Is this going to be okay? 49 00:02:27,520 --> 00:02:30,160 Speaker 1: What if it explodes? What if they're this or that? 50 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,320 Speaker 1: Like that's in the mind. It's not like NASA has 51 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:37,160 Speaker 1: this perfect track record. They picked the most qualified people 52 00:02:37,240 --> 00:02:40,320 Speaker 1: for this mission. Here it looks like and ESPN wants 53 00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:41,240 Speaker 1: to make it a racial thing. 54 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:44,160 Speaker 2: No, I feel like you picked him because he's black, right? 55 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:44,840 Speaker 3: Is that wrong? 56 00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 1: I mean that's what the comment section was saying, and 57 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:49,000 Speaker 1: the comment section, and. 58 00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 2: He's super qualified. You're going to space, bro, we don't 59 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:53,600 Speaker 2: comment section with some black people. 60 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 3: You don't need a negate that to your race. You 61 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:57,639 Speaker 3: are a genius by all standard. 62 00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 2: You're going to Space. Who cares that you're black? Driving? 63 00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 2: Like you're not just there to go along. 64 00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,960 Speaker 1: Like Katie Perry went up like just past the atmosphere 65 00:03:06,960 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 1: and came back. 66 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:11,000 Speaker 2: That's not what's happening here. This dude is driving. 67 00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: He's telling everybody knock it down or I'll turn this 68 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:14,440 Speaker 1: thing around. 69 00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 2: Yo, cops are behind us. Be cool, right, that's what 70 00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 2: this dude is doing. 71 00:03:19,280 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: And ESPN makes it about race, and so many people 72 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 1: that were black or minorities were chiming in going, dude, 73 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:30,680 Speaker 1: you're actually insulting him by making this about. 74 00:03:30,400 --> 00:03:33,399 Speaker 3: His race, and that makes me happy on the inside 75 00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:36,280 Speaker 3: because the reality is it's going to take black and 76 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:39,440 Speaker 3: brown Republican Democrat to stand up and be in the 77 00:03:39,480 --> 00:03:42,320 Speaker 3: front and go I don't care what race I am, 78 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 3: Give me my merit.
