Speaker 2: of stuff happening on the show. I don't even know

71
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,800
Speaker 2: where to start, to be honest with you. Oh, we

72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,800
Speaker 2: did watch some stuff over the weekend. We did, so.

73
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 2: I think the first thing that everybody would be happy

74
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:56,600
Speaker 2: to hear that we watched was Beyonce's brand new Netflix special.

75
00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 2: We didn't get a chance to watch it on Wednesday

76
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:03,040
Speaker 2: when it came out. As you guys have probably noticed,

77
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 2: we have been very busy, so we knew we would

78
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,520
Speaker 2: probably get to watch it this weekend.

79
00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:09,760
Speaker 3: Shout out to Chris Uh.

80
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 2: We were all movie trailer reviews, our net podcast and

81
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 2: Sandy Check, so that's how we So we didn't get

82
00:04:15,960 --> 00:04:17,560
Speaker 2: to watch it Saturday because of that, and then we

83
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:39,680
Speaker 2: woke up Sunday morning and got information. I do wonder

84
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,159
Speaker 2: what we could possibly say that has not been said

85
00:04:42,240 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 2: by everybody already, you know, to be honest with you,

86
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,600
Speaker 2: I mean, we watched it a little later than everybody,

87
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:51,760
Speaker 2: which is funny because Beyonce so like five days and

88
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what we're gonna say that's any different

89
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:57,800
Speaker 2: from what the fuck y'all heard other places. But it

90
00:04:57,920 --> 00:05:01,359
Speaker 2: was an amazing experience, Karen, I know you said you

91
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:03,440
Speaker 2: wanted to talk about this, so I'll let you go first.

92
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, I do. I actually was.

93
00:05:07,880 --> 00:05:12,720
Speaker 5: I stayed up and watched Coachella that she did last year,

94
00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:16,480
Speaker 5: and because I'm on the East Coast, that shit didn't

95
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 5: start to like ridiculous.

96
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 4: Wasn't two in the morning or some shit like that.

97
00:05:20,160 --> 00:05:21,800
Speaker 4: So I was up after night. I took a nap.

98
00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:27,800
Speaker 5: And when you watch it through Coachella, you got one experience.

99
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 5: But uh, and with the Coachella, you only seen the

100
00:05:34,080 --> 00:05:38,560
Speaker 5: first show. You didn't see the second show, and so

101
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:43,680
Speaker 5: for me to watch it again with different camera angles

102
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,159
Speaker 5: and things like that, it just gave it a whole

103
00:05:46,160 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 5: different experience.

104
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,480
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I have a lot to say, but I

105
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,359
Speaker 2: just don't want to step on your toes and I

106
00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 2: don't want to go ahead.

107
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 3: Oh, hold on my mic, something's going on my mic. Okay,

108
00:05:57,640 --> 00:05:59,520
Speaker 3: I fixed it. I have a lot to say, but

109
00:05:59,560 --> 00:06:00,200
Speaker 3: I want staf.

110
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: On your toes with it, and I want you to

111
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,960
Speaker 2: be able to get all your things out as a

112
00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 2: black woman.

113
00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:08,080
Speaker 4: You know, I'll stop you and chime in.

114
00:06:08,600 --> 00:06:12,280
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So of course, the first thing that

115
00:06:12,320 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 2: stuck out to me is the same thing that always

116
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 2: stuck out sticks out whenever she does just about anything.

117
00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: Is this woman is a marketing genius.

118
00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 6: She is.

119
00:06:22,240 --> 00:06:25,560
Speaker 2: I don't think people really understand how evig it is

120
00:06:26,360 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 2: that she went to Coachella, and she could have and

121
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 2: I think in an alternate universe where this happened on

122
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,640
Speaker 2: Earth to whatever, they're still just as happy as us.

123
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:39,000
Speaker 2: But she could have just went there and gave us

124
00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 2: like her Formation World Tour.

125
00:06:41,080 --> 00:06:43,520
Speaker 3: Performance and being just fine.

126
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,440
Speaker 2: No one would have been mad, no one would have

127
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 2: felt short changed, no one would have felt they owed anything.

128
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 2: They were say yeah, okay, like as Beyonce, She's been

129
00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:56,599
Speaker 2: doing an elaborate show, she's been touring, she's just coming

130
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:57,400
Speaker 2: off for pregnancy.

131
00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 3: Cool. I'm just glad she came the coach Olla, you know.

132
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 3: But she didn't do that, did she.

133
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:06,440
Speaker 2: She is the first black woman to ever headline it,

134
00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:10,200
Speaker 2: and none of us knew about all this extra shit.

135
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 2: We knew she was going to perform. I don't know

136
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:14,880
Speaker 2: what the fucking nbas are.

137
00:07:14,960 --> 00:07:17,760
Speaker 3: I don't know. If it's wizardry, I don't Oh.

138
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, if you're around her, you can't say nothing.

139
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,600
Speaker 2: I don't know if it's the same sorcerer that puts

140
00:07:23,600 --> 00:07:25,640
Speaker 2: the spell of levitation on her hair during the epo

141
00:07:25,720 --> 00:07:29,200
Speaker 2: during the shows come out. I don't know who is, Like,

142
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: are they selling these things in blood? We didn't know

143
00:07:32,520 --> 00:07:35,880
Speaker 2: there's not just Netflix special, right, we didn't know that.

144
00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:42,440
Speaker 2: We didn't know that there was an album, Like, we

145
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: didn't even know any of this shit. And so you

146
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 2: get the documentary and you get the album and supposedly

147
00:07:49,400 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 2: it's a three like a three thing deal with Beyonce

148
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: for Netflix for sixty million dollars because she.

149
00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 5: Was gonna do HBO and Netflix was like, oops, we

150
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:01,400
Speaker 5: gotta excuse me.

151
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,080
Speaker 2: She made Netflix work for her. I'm not a Netflix.

152
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:07,240
Speaker 2: She made Coachella work for her in a way that

153
00:08:07,840 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 2: I just don't think people understand, Like you gotta think

154
00:08:10,760 --> 00:08:14,559
Speaker 2: about this. Dozens of people, if not more at this point,

155
00:08:14,600 --> 00:08:17,240
Speaker 2: maybe it's hundreds. I don't know about that much about Coachella.

156
00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: But all these people have grace to stage before her,

157
00:08:21,240 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 2: headliners have headlined before her. Nobody made it work for

158
00:08:25,800 --> 00:08:28,119
Speaker 2: them like this. I don't even know what the deal

159
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 2: is with Coachella and what other stars negotiated as not

160
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:35,280
Speaker 2: money wise, but as far as having the right to

161
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:39,800
Speaker 2: take your show and then monetize it for yourself other places,

162
00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:42,720
Speaker 2: Like I'm sure at most festivals like Coachella, they would

163
00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:45,160
Speaker 2: be like, well that performance happened here, we own that,

164
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,839
Speaker 2: you know what I mean. But whatever she signed, she's like, no,

165
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: then I'm gonna sell this shit for me, and then

166
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make a documentary for me, and then I'm

167
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:57,080
Speaker 2: gonna put it out for me and get paid for that.

168
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 5: Shit, right, And it's actually still a big ass promotion

169
00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 5: for you.

170
00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 3: Right.

171
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 2: So that's the first thing I would notice is just

172
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:09,120
Speaker 2: that she went to Coachella, was bigger than Coachella and

173
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:11,960
Speaker 2: made Coachella do the work for her, like you know,

174
00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:15,600
Speaker 2: every and And I think what's funny is her performance

175
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,480
Speaker 2: initially was so memorable. As I was watching the special,

176
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,480
Speaker 2: I was like, I know it's song coming next. I

177
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:25,720
Speaker 2: know when she said, ain't that Ain't that about a bitch?

178
00:09:26,559 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 2: Like it's just you know, like you just notice certain shit,

179
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: like at least from the one performance you saw on YouTube.

180
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 2: The other thing Coachella, she she made it so that, hey, look,

181
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 2: one weekend, everybody gets to see.

182
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 3: My performance free, right. But she did two performances and some.

183
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 2: People start the second with something did and I heard

184
00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,720
Speaker 2: it was on YouTube if you saw it live maybe

185
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,680
Speaker 2: whatever I heard Also it wasn't on the area, but

186
00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,720
Speaker 2: people found a way. Whatever that was the two different

187
00:09:55,720 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 2: performances which other people have done outcast did it right?

188
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 3: We woke up late in the early in the morning.

189
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:07,320
Speaker 2: No, she thought of a way to seamlessly edit those

190
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:11,000
Speaker 2: two performances together to give you a dynamic like it

191
00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 2: felt like a magic show for the like the editing

192
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,079
Speaker 2: has to be up for some sort of award.

193
00:10:16,120 --> 00:10:17,440
Speaker 3: I don't know, And you know what.

194
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,280
Speaker 4: I was watching it and I was like, she edited

195
00:10:20,280 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 4: this shit better than.

196
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,280
Speaker 5: Some fucking movies, Like we watched movies, and I'm it

197
00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,400
Speaker 5: was like, I've never seen it just that flawlessly. Because

198
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:33,040
Speaker 5: at first I was like, Okay, does she have.

199
00:10:34,800 --> 00:10:36,680
Speaker 4: A ninjitsu for color?

200
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,800
Speaker 5: Because it was like pink yellow, pink yellow, pink yellow,

201
00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 5: and the way it was changing.

202
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:44,679
Speaker 4: The movements were actually still flowing.

203
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 5: So I thought at first, Okay, I know she did

204
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 5: two shows, but am I losing it?

205
00:10:48,840 --> 00:10:52,559
Speaker 4: Oh, she's going back and forth between these shows.

206
00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 2: Right, and I can see there's gonna be one of

207
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,000
Speaker 2: those segments. But I didn't think I had a lot

208
00:10:56,040 --> 00:10:57,640
Speaker 2: to say. But I have a lot to say oh.

209
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,400
Speaker 5: Yeah, oh yeah, no, yeah, yeah, oh yeah, like I said,

210
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,960
Speaker 5: and I will jump in kind of between it. But

211
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:05,720
Speaker 5: one thing I also want to say about you talking

212
00:11:05,720 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 5: about how she changed Coachella.

213
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:11,119
Speaker 4: She brought her own background.

214
00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 5: She was like, we're gonna use this this staate like

215
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,880
Speaker 5: I this right here, We're gonna use this, and then

216
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 5: not only that, Coachella camp it and now it's like

217
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,680
Speaker 5: a monument and people can go take pictures of it with.

218
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:24,240
Speaker 4: It this year.

219
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 2: Are you talking about the Bleachers? Yes, okay, yeah, I

220
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,360
Speaker 2: don't know who the bleachers. I don't know if it

221
00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:31,600
Speaker 2: was made by the sad person that made Thor's acts

222
00:11:31,640 --> 00:11:37,040
Speaker 2: in fucking in fucking Infinity War, because them bleacher was

223
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,120
Speaker 2: the strongest fuck And I went to a HBCU like

224
00:11:40,120 --> 00:11:43,640
Speaker 2: our bleachers, give a bit. Them bleachers was out there working. Okay,

225
00:11:43,720 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 2: no giving. But what I was gonna say is it

226
00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,120
Speaker 2: was obviously an ordeal. Like she even said she won't

227
00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: be doing this again. It's coming off for the birth

228
00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 2: of her twins. Obviously, being a mother to Blue, being

229
00:11:56,960 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: a wife, being a pop star, toward our this business, moguo,

230
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 2: all this shit, she's like, I think she even said

231
00:12:04,160 --> 00:12:07,280
Speaker 2: in the documentary. I'm not doing this again, Like this

232
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:09,800
Speaker 2: is the hardest. I re pushed myself, this is the hardest, Like,

233
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,040
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna do this twice. So this is the

234
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 2: thing where we weren't expecting her to do this, But

235
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:20,280
Speaker 2: she practiced apparently for almost a year to get not

236
00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:20,719
Speaker 2: just in.

237
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:24,280
Speaker 3: Shape, but to get to show perfect yes. Yes.

238
00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 5: And also she was actually preparing for Courchilla while she

239
00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 5: was actually touring for her other She was actually touring

240
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 5: and doing this at the same time.

241
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 2: Right, keep in mind, she don't have I think I

242
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:39,560
Speaker 2: can't stress enough what I said in Again, she didn't

243
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,720
Speaker 2: have to do any of this shit. She could have

244
00:12:41,920 --> 00:12:45,960
Speaker 2: just done her formation tour performance there and everyone would

245
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 2: be fine, No one would be mad.

246
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:50,920
Speaker 3: Everybody like that was fucking great. It's Beyonce.

247
00:12:51,760 --> 00:12:55,160
Speaker 2: She just decided I'm going to give this shit the

248
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:58,200
Speaker 2: effort that it of, just like the concert of her lifetime.

249
00:12:58,559 --> 00:13:02,000
Speaker 2: And so in addition to you know, just the fact

250
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 2: that you know it's the plan and the meticulousness of

251
00:13:05,000 --> 00:13:08,319
Speaker 2: organizing two hundred people on stage at the same.

252
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 4: Time, I didn't realize that many people.

253
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 3: Right.

254
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 2: Can we talk about the HBCU aesthetic though, because I

255
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 2: feel like what always gets we're.

256
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:18,240
Speaker 3: Both HBCU grads.

257
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,160
Speaker 2: Yes, what always gets lost and it's fucking like p

258
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 2: w I HBCU shit that goes on online. What always

259
00:13:26,520 --> 00:13:29,200
Speaker 2: gets lost in all this stuff because everyone's trying to

260
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:32,319
Speaker 2: be pejorative to each other, is that there is something

261
00:13:32,520 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 2: uniquely Black American about the HBCU culture. Agreed about the

262
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:41,760
Speaker 2: Black Greek fraternities, but still it's something uniquely American about

263
00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:46,160
Speaker 2: that here. This is not too shit on anyone else's experiences,

264
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:51,160
Speaker 2: but it is a black iconic experience that is originated here.

265
00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,360
Speaker 2: As far as like the things that that we do,

266
00:13:54,480 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 2: the education that we have, you know, HBCU's obviously our

267
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 2: testament to resistance. There obviously a testament to education that

268
00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:09,000
Speaker 2: storied history there. There's all kinds of you know, it

269
00:14:09,080 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 2: was like a subversive way to educate black folks, and

270
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 2: so we have created our own ways, our own lanes,

271
00:14:15,480 --> 00:14:19,120
Speaker 2: our own like culture there. And for her, a person

272
00:14:19,160 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 2: that didn't go to college, but I remember when she

273
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: toured and came to Fabuel State when she was a

274
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:23,960
Speaker 2: Destiny child.

275
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 3: So it's not so she's always.

276
00:14:26,360 --> 00:14:30,560
Speaker 2: Looked up to HBCU's Her father graduated from one. So

277
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 2: to see somebody that is the biggest pop star in

278
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:38,240
Speaker 2: the world bar Nune and a black woman from Houston

279
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:47,480
Speaker 2: be so like adamantly like black, black American, like so

280
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: adamantly like I am black, I am from America, I

281
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:55,520
Speaker 2: am from Houston, Texas, I am from the South, like

282
00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 2: she said the end of my country, asking do it

283
00:14:57,440 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 2: that anybody can come on that is so powerful because

284
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: we have been taught and just the general consensus has

285
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,080
Speaker 2: always been, you get to be as big as someone

286
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:13,000
Speaker 2: like Beyonce. You don't get big by being specific to blackness.

287
00:15:13,200 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 2: You can be big and black, you can be the

288
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,800
Speaker 2: biggest act and be a black person. But what you

289
00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:20,400
Speaker 2: can't be is the biggest act that is for black

290
00:15:20,440 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 2: people and even more specifically for her, for black women

291
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 2: like you. That's just not allowed. You're not supposed to

292
00:15:27,560 --> 00:15:29,280
Speaker 2: be able to do that. You're supposed to be like,

293
00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 2: let me shrink myself, let me say white people are great,

294
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 2: let me say black people are great.

295
00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 3: Let me say you.

296
00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 2: Know, hey, I don't want hurt anybody's feelings. It's feminism.

297
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 2: It's just all women. And for her to be somebody

298
00:15:42,800 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: that's like, no, it's I said, black that's amazing. Another

299
00:15:47,120 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 2: thing I fucking loved about this thing we get to

300
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:52,400
Speaker 2: hear her in her own words.

301
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:52,920
Speaker 3: Correct.

302
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,240
Speaker 2: She doesn't do a lot of media, she doesn't do

303
00:15:55,240 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 2: a lot of interviews, so people often pejoratively and I

304
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 2: think Loki offensively attribute her creativity and her genius to

305
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 2: other people around her. Yes, No, one likes to just

306
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,400
Speaker 2: say this is her concept, she came up with this,

307
00:16:10,920 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 2: she coordinated this, she made this happen. It's always got

308
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: to be someone else in the wings. When she was younger,

309
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,360
Speaker 2: it was her father. Everybody wanted to give her father

310
00:16:20,440 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 2: all the all the.

311
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,560
Speaker 3: Props for the creative genius. Blah blah blah.

312
00:16:24,600 --> 00:16:27,640
Speaker 2: People started giving it to jay Z, people were giving

313
00:16:27,640 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 2: it to salons. These aren't this isn't offensive to any

314
00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 2: of them, Like, this isn't saying they're not creative. But

315
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:36,080
Speaker 2: why are we giving Beyonce these things to other people

316
00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:36,720
Speaker 2: all the time?

317
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 3: Right?

318
00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,640
Speaker 2: It's always got to be something about the fact that

319
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,400
Speaker 2: she just can't come up with this herself, you know her,

320
00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 2: even when she becomes more older and outspoken about her

321
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: politics and her music and stuff, it's somehow just oh no,

322
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: that's just marketing or it's not real. She just widening away. Well,

323
00:16:52,360 --> 00:16:53,640
Speaker 2: let me tell you something. I don't know if you

324
00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:58,440
Speaker 2: guys have noticed in this country, but the pro black

325
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:01,200
Speaker 2: shit is not as cool as if was, just even

326
00:17:01,200 --> 00:17:05,080
Speaker 2: when Obama was here. Some of your fave activists and

327
00:17:05,119 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 2: shit is not out in these streets like they was

328
00:17:07,000 --> 00:17:07,920
Speaker 2: because I ain't nobody.

329
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:09,800
Speaker 3: Trying to get killed over this bullshit.

330
00:17:10,480 --> 00:17:13,480
Speaker 2: They understand the environment that we're in. Everybody seeing the

331
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 2: referendum that was the election. And I'm not saying referendum

332
00:17:16,760 --> 00:17:19,439
Speaker 2: in that this motherfucker destroyed Hillary. Really no, I'm just

333
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 2: saying the fact that racist people have been in Bolden,

334
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 2: hate crimes have been in Boulden. Hate is no longer

335
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:29,000
Speaker 2: a thing that people are doing quietly indoors.

336
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,600
Speaker 3: This is a thing that is loud and proud and out.

337
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: And to see somebody like Beyonce though, yeah, this is

338
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: not a marketing thing. I wasn't saying I was black

339
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 2: because it's cool. I wasn't saying I'm a feminist because

340
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 2: oh it's the way. It's because I am one. And

341
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 2: to see her say it in her own words, to

342
00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 2: see her use quotes from you know, Maya Angelo, from

343
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:56,000
Speaker 2: Tony Morrison, like, these are the things. These are creative

344
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,960
Speaker 2: choices she made to see her in those meetings, coordinated

345
00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:03,159
Speaker 2: and stuff like these are the things that I think

346
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,720
Speaker 2: we don't often see. And I think it's also why

347
00:18:05,760 --> 00:18:08,119
Speaker 2: she fucking records all these moments of her life and

348
00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 2: her work so that she can tell you this shit herself.

349
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 2: Because anytime you let somebody else do it, they're telling

350
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:14,200
Speaker 2: your story.

351
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 3: And when you let.

352
00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:18,920
Speaker 2: Somebody else tell your story, man, it's just we've seen

353
00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 2: what can happen. Yes, And to see her like struggling,

354
00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 2: like talking about her pregnancy and the high blood pressure,

355
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:28,000
Speaker 2: and then she named two things I had never even

356
00:18:28,040 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 2: heard of that.

357
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,160
Speaker 3: I was like, oh, oh no, Beyonce.

358
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 5: God that yeah, because when you're pregnant there are some

359
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 5: kind of diseases and infections and stuff that kind of

360
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:39,880
Speaker 5: only happen doing pregnancy mm hmm.

361
00:18:40,600 --> 00:18:45,320
Speaker 2: So to see her bring that up because it humanizes her,

362
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 2: Like I hear people talk about her and this is

363
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,320
Speaker 2: this thing white people are doing now, and who knows

364
00:18:50,320 --> 00:18:52,200
Speaker 2: what they'll say after homecoming, but it's this thing where

365
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 2: they're doing the like.

366
00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,360
Speaker 3: How do we take shots at Beyonce?

367
00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: Like it was cool for white people to like her,

368
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 2: and it was like, I'm woke, I'm cool. I still

369
00:19:00,160 --> 00:19:03,280
Speaker 2: like Beyonce even though she did the self titled album,

370
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:07,359
Speaker 2: even though she did Lemonade and she's doing Formation. Hey guys,

371
00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,880
Speaker 2: I'm a cool, woke, liberal white person. I still fuck

372
00:19:09,920 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 2: with her. But I had noticed that shit was starting

373
00:19:12,119 --> 00:19:13,920
Speaker 2: to slide. You know, I listen to podcasts and shit,

374
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 2: they started to be on some like and kind of fuck.

375
00:19:16,520 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 3: Her though, right? And which is they were? Which is

376
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:21,320
Speaker 3: them being honest? They were already feeling that way, but

377
00:19:21,520 --> 00:19:22,000
Speaker 3: it was not.

378
00:19:22,080 --> 00:19:25,639
Speaker 2: It wasn't cool during like the Earth the come up

379
00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 2: to Trump to be on some like what.

380
00:19:27,600 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 3: Kind of fucked this black woman? Shit? Right?

381
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:31,520
Speaker 2: So they kind of was sliding back into that, and

382
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 2: then Homecoming comes out.

383
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:34,120
Speaker 3: It's gonna be interesting to see what the.

384
00:19:34,080 --> 00:19:36,920
Speaker 2: Reaction is to it because it's such a big reminder

385
00:19:36,960 --> 00:19:39,280
Speaker 2: of I'm a black woman. I'm telling my own story,

386
00:19:39,280 --> 00:19:41,040
Speaker 2: and this is why I tell my own story because

387
00:19:41,040 --> 00:19:42,080
Speaker 2: I can't trust you to tell it.

388
00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 3: I can't crush you to tell people what I think.

389
00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,960
Speaker 2: I can't trust your interviews to be asking the right questions.

390
00:19:48,040 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 2: Let me just fucking tell you how I feel about

391
00:19:50,840 --> 00:19:53,960
Speaker 2: being black, How I feel about HBCUs, how I feel

392
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:56,760
Speaker 2: about being a black woman and everything I do being

393
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 2: for black women, How I feel about my being a mother,

394
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,560
Speaker 2: how I feel about being a wife, Like I appreciate

395
00:20:02,600 --> 00:20:04,480
Speaker 2: that she she's able to do that and then turn

396
00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: it into her.

397
00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:09,719
Speaker 5: Money, correct, because it's one of those things where not

398
00:20:09,760 --> 00:20:12,879
Speaker 5: trying to be funny when Beyonce kept a blank slate,

399
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:15,920
Speaker 5: but I mean she was just I'm here to perform

400
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 5: and I'm not gonna say her.

401
00:20:18,600 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 4: Her music was racially not racial.

402
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,840
Speaker 2: It was just come on everybody. Yeah, it was well,

403
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 2: it was women, right, it was single ladies. You know,

404
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 2: it was uh, you know, it was it was it

405
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:32,720
Speaker 2: was like always black.

406
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:34,760
Speaker 3: That wasn't never it was always black.

407
00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 2: But it was also kind of like the traditional like

408
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 2: I'm black, but I'm making music that if you're white,

409
00:20:40,320 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 2: there's no reason to feel uncomfortable, you know. And then

410
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 2: there's this Houston part of her that just keeps getting

411
00:20:47,200 --> 00:20:50,400
Speaker 2: bigger and bigger, and now she's cussing and now she's rapping.

412
00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 5: Right, because it was a period of time where you

413
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,800
Speaker 5: never heard Beyonce Cuz right now she's talking about she

414
00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,520
Speaker 5: likes her Negro nos, not just you know what I mean,

415
00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:02,679
Speaker 5: like it's becoming a certain type like aesthetic that's dripping

416
00:21:02,720 --> 00:21:03,159
Speaker 5: off of it.

417
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 3: And then the HBCU like.

418
00:21:05,160 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 2: That is the biggest love because keep in mind, just

419
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,480
Speaker 2: like the hashtag them from, it's not kicking nobody out right.

420
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:14,679
Speaker 3: White people can go to HBCUs.

421
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,119
Speaker 4: Yes they can. They get a minority scholarship when they go.

422
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,200
Speaker 2: If you think you're above that or you think that

423
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,480
Speaker 2: somehow it's a lesser institution, so that's why you don't go, right,

424
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:26,640
Speaker 2: then that's kind of on you because white people won't

425
00:21:26,640 --> 00:21:29,639
Speaker 2: even apply or know anything about a HBCU and be like, well,

426
00:21:29,840 --> 00:21:32,000
Speaker 2: I mean you go to school without white people. That's

427
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 2: not true. Plenty of white people was in my classes.

428
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 2: Come on, now, y'all just weren't the majority. Want I

429
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,439
Speaker 2: guess now you know how it feels. I don't know,

430
00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 2: but the point being, you had this experience that is

431
00:21:44,880 --> 00:21:49,200
Speaker 2: such a black experience, like and other artists have tried

432
00:21:49,200 --> 00:21:50,359
Speaker 2: to do it, but I think they've just done it

433
00:21:50,359 --> 00:21:55,760
Speaker 2: with different stuff like church m H. Now Kendrick does

434
00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 2: it with Africa, and many artists have done it with Africa,

435
00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 2: many black people. Now I'm not knocking that, I mean

436
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 2: that I need that to be explicitly clear. I'm not

437
00:22:03,640 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 2: knocking people that do it when they're from the Islands, right,

438
00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:08,080
Speaker 2: but that's not Black America.

439
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:11,399
Speaker 3: Right, This, like HBC US is Black America.

440
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 2: It's a singular type of institution that can't exist another place,

441
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,960
Speaker 2: right because it's it is created in the outcome of

442
00:22:20,040 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 2: like plus versus ferguson, Like, it's not, it's not It

443
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,840
Speaker 2: can't be created in England. It can't be created in

444
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,919
Speaker 2: a country that that had slavery, but it's mostly black, Like,

445
00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:31,679
Speaker 2: it had to be America that made this, and so

446
00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:33,959
Speaker 2: this is an homage to America in a way that

447
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 2: other artists have not done yet. You know, this is

448
00:22:36,840 --> 00:22:39,040
Speaker 2: gonna say they had no elements of it, but she completed.

449
00:22:39,240 --> 00:22:42,200
Speaker 2: She didn't like mock it as Kanye did it in

450
00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:46,280
Speaker 2: college dropout right like she like she leaned into it

451
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,879
Speaker 2: and said this is a source of pride. You know,

452
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 2: to see her talk about how important HBC used to

453
00:22:51,600 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 2: institutions are at the end to put that quote in

454
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,800
Speaker 2: there like it was such it was for us, which

455
00:22:57,840 --> 00:22:59,320
Speaker 2: is one of the reasons I don't really get mad

456
00:22:59,320 --> 00:23:02,120
Speaker 2: when white people don't know like with oh she's this, she's.

457
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 3: That fuck you, it's for us anyway. We weren't.

458
00:23:05,680 --> 00:23:07,919
Speaker 2: We weren't waiting on you to approve, all right, I

459
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 2: know it's a surprise. Yeah, I know it's a big

460
00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:12,879
Speaker 2: surprise to you. We were not sitting around, like I

461
00:23:12,920 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 2: hope they approve of its Beyonce thing that that was

462
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 2: written specifically for black women.

463
00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,320
Speaker 3: I hope you were. You come around to this blackness,

464
00:23:20,359 --> 00:23:21,040
Speaker 3: like we're good.

465
00:23:21,520 --> 00:23:24,760
Speaker 5: Yeah, we were doing this before y'all even paid any attention.

466
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,400
Speaker 3: Netflix, Netflix paid you before you see the ship.

467
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 2: So she got the money, right, and we're gonna watch

468
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 2: it fifty seven times each, probably all from the same account.

469
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,680
Speaker 3: But that's fine, that's fine. Nobody can stop it.

470
00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:46,399
Speaker 2: But yeah, she so she killed that shit and I

471
00:23:46,560 --> 00:23:49,919
Speaker 2: was so like blown away by that, and then you

472
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:53,280
Speaker 2: get the performance. This nigga held them mic the entire time.

473
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,240
Speaker 2: She never even went with the Jennet Jackson like shout

474
00:23:57,280 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 2: out the fire starter. I think they called it like

475
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,960
Speaker 2: the dry through headset at a Burger King had said.

476
00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 3: Like yes, she didn't even use that joint.

477
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:08,560
Speaker 2: She just straight up like held that mic for two hours,

478
00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 2: Like what the fuck? And when you look at all

479
00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:15,800
Speaker 2: the dancing and acrobatic ass shit and all the coordination

480
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 2: and she's like in and out outfit chained boom right

481
00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,000
Speaker 2: back in your face and just mic again like ballad

482
00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:24,879
Speaker 2: boom negro spiritual boom boom.

483
00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:27,160
Speaker 5: She was like an athlete, and I think sometimes people

484
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 5: underestimate not like, well, she is an athlete actually when

485
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,360
Speaker 5: you and.

486
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 4: What I said, like an athlete.

487
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 5: The reason why I was saying like athletes because you

488
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:39,160
Speaker 5: have she keeps her body in good tiptop shape right,

489
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:41,719
Speaker 5: and to be able to do the things she does

490
00:24:42,200 --> 00:24:47,520
Speaker 5: moving squat and bending, pumping the bleachers, dipping, shaking the

491
00:24:47,640 --> 00:24:51,440
Speaker 5: ass and all that stuff and still singing and don't

492
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,160
Speaker 5: and you don't hear no breathiness.

493
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 4: You didn't hear no in her voice.

494
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:59,199
Speaker 2: Well, she would have been like entitled to correct if

495
00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 2: she would say y'all I need a minute, we would

496
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 2: have understood. But she's just straight up flawless.

497
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 7: At first, I was like, did she even take a

498
00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:05,720
Speaker 7: water pike?

499
00:25:06,160 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 3: Right? I think, what did she say?

500
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,639
Speaker 2: She weighed two hundred and eighteen pounds or something like

501
00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,760
Speaker 2: that was the twins, like two hundred eighteen pounds And

502
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:17,359
Speaker 2: then she started this and I love I love it

503
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 2: behind the scenes where you see like her starting and

504
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:23,160
Speaker 2: it's awkward, and she talks about people don't like rehearsing

505
00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 2: because you're gonna look bad, you're.

506
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:27,720
Speaker 3: Gonna fuck up, you're gonna you know, and she's showing us.

507
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,280
Speaker 2: I'm sure like the fuck ups that she's comfortable with

508
00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: us seeing.

509
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:32,879
Speaker 3: It's not like a twenty four to seven cam of

510
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:33,800
Speaker 3: her just fucking up.

511
00:25:33,720 --> 00:25:36,639
Speaker 2: But like, you know, like the dedication because you see

512
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 2: her body look different than Beyonce's body correct, like, and

513
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 2: not that she wasn't still fine as hell, come on,

514
00:25:42,440 --> 00:25:44,639
Speaker 2: I mean, but still you see her body being and

515
00:25:44,680 --> 00:25:47,360
Speaker 2: you're like, oh, she had eight months to go from

516
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:51,520
Speaker 2: that back to Beyonce shape, tip top shape, you know.

517
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 2: And they're talking about that diet. It was like no sugar,

518
00:25:55,440 --> 00:26:00,960
Speaker 2: no carves, no meat, no fish, no something else.

519
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,840
Speaker 3: And I tried to die, y'all. I did Thursday.

520
00:26:03,960 --> 00:26:05,920
Speaker 2: I watched I saw her about the diet in the

521
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:09,159
Speaker 2: article on Thursday, and I said, you know what, I'm

522
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,840
Speaker 2: gonna do this die And then I had a coffee

523
00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 2: and I realized as I sipped on my coffee, I

524
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:19,119
Speaker 2: failed to die. I was like, oh damn, oh that

525
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:21,520
Speaker 2: was quick. Grand open the grand closing. That's all I'm saying.

526
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 4: But and I felt that I'm hungry.

527
00:26:23,320 --> 00:26:27,119
Speaker 2: I was like, yes, honey, yeah, And so that was

528
00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:29,479
Speaker 2: It was just dope to see her like accomplish all

529
00:26:29,520 --> 00:26:32,480
Speaker 2: this stuff. The blackness of the people that were working

530
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:39,400
Speaker 2: with her, the band, the dancers, the choreographers, the I mean,

531
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 2: even the guitarist for Jack White's part was a black woman.

532
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:48,400
Speaker 2: Like the intentionality of her blackness is so like meticulous,

533
00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 2: Like the dedication to that part is the part that

534
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:54,080
Speaker 2: always blows me away because I keep thinking my whole

535
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:58,240
Speaker 2: life how the greatest pop performers that were black always

536
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,560
Speaker 2: felt like they couldn't be too black, you know what

537
00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,960
Speaker 2: I mean. And this is not shade to them. I

538
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,880
Speaker 2: get why they felt that way. It was conventional wisdom,

539
00:27:06,960 --> 00:27:08,000
Speaker 2: don't be too black.

540
00:27:08,560 --> 00:27:08,800
Speaker 5: You know.

541
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:11,480
Speaker 3: People love Whitney Houston. I remember Whitney Houston, and.

542
00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 2: I remember being shocked she fucked with Bobby Brown because

543
00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 2: my whole life, Whitty useday had existed in a place

544
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 2: where I was like, she is quote unquote transcendent race,

545
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,600
Speaker 2: as they like to do, and here she is, you know,

546
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:28,120
Speaker 2: like Beyonce is not just talking about blackness in her music,

547
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:33,000
Speaker 2: but in this creative outlet that is this this homecoming documentary.

548
00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,960
Speaker 2: She's like black black and the black black and your

549
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:37,720
Speaker 2: black ass face black boom. You know what I mean?

550
00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:41,600
Speaker 2: Michael Jackson. You know people talk about like one song

551
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,400
Speaker 2: black or white. He had one song and we lay

552
00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:48,800
Speaker 2: in his career and during his pedophile scandals and we

553
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,400
Speaker 2: were like, oh yeah, black and white. He's a black man. See,

554
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 2: guys like that took a while. This is not to

555
00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 2: say we ever question is he a black person. It's

556
00:27:57,880 --> 00:28:00,920
Speaker 2: just the fact that conventional wisdom say, you just don't

557
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:02,240
Speaker 2: do that in mixed company.

558
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:02,840
Speaker 3: Why would you.

559
00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:08,320
Speaker 2: Ever limit quote unquote your career by being like, I'm black?

560
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 3: Now what these white folks gonna think? Right? That was

561
00:28:12,240 --> 00:28:12,880
Speaker 3: the whole thing.

562
00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: And to see them be like nah, To see Beyonce

563
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:17,679
Speaker 2: be like, nah, I'm black.

564
00:28:18,359 --> 00:28:19,280
Speaker 3: I'm black as fuck.

565
00:28:20,080 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 2: Y'all still coming to my concert, y'all still gonna be

566
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:23,000
Speaker 2: bumping my music.

567
00:28:23,600 --> 00:28:26,359
Speaker 3: Y'all gonna be mad, But I ain't doing nothing to

568
00:28:26,440 --> 00:28:27,399
Speaker 3: hurt you. I'm just black.

569
00:28:28,480 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 2: Like it's now she's out there saying anything like fuck

570
00:28:31,119 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 2: white people or some shit like she's just black. She's

571
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 2: just leaning into and celebrating being a black woman on

572
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:40,840
Speaker 2: this earth from America, and uh yeah, it was. It

573
00:28:40,920 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 2: was amazing to see that, cause it was just I

574
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,960
Speaker 2: don't know, I just couldn't like she's she's always ahead

575
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 2: of everyone because nobody else has done this. Now, I

576
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 2: imagine people will start trying to do shit like this,

577
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,280
Speaker 2: you know, I mean, but let's be honest. Out of

578
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:02,680
Speaker 2: work we just saw her put into it. Ain't nobody

579
00:29:02,720 --> 00:29:05,680
Speaker 2: gonna do that. No, no, but maybe they'll do something

580
00:29:05,760 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 2: like oh Coachella Live of my album and documentary.

581
00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 3: It just won't be this shit.

582
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 4: And you to get to the place that she is.

583
00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 5: All jokes that you almost you got to be a workaholic,

584
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 5: because she actually.

585
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 4: Was like I gotta go home to my kids.

586
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:27,240
Speaker 5: And she was like, I'm used to rehearsing like fifteen

587
00:29:27,280 --> 00:29:29,320
Speaker 5: hour days, but now I have to go home to

588
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 5: my children.

589
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:32,920
Speaker 4: Fifteen hour rehearsals.

590
00:29:33,040 --> 00:29:33,280
Speaker 3: Y'all.

591
00:29:33,280 --> 00:29:36,720
Speaker 5: It's twenty four hours of a day, right, fifteen hour rehearsals.

592
00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 4: You know, I'm for me personally.

593
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 5: I really appreciate her filming the meetings, and I know

594
00:29:47,600 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 5: everybody laughed when jay Z just kind of spoke and

595
00:29:50,800 --> 00:29:52,480
Speaker 5: was like, okay, yea, I heard my wife basically.

596
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:55,560
Speaker 3: I think that was on that anniversary too.

597
00:29:55,600 --> 00:29:58,600
Speaker 5: Right, and they was like happy anniversary. I was like yeah,

598
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:02,760
Speaker 5: like like like yeah, she like she is actually putting

599
00:30:02,760 --> 00:30:06,480
Speaker 5: it in. And I like the fact that she was

600
00:30:06,520 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 5: a woman, a black woman in charge and you have

601
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 5: to listen to her, like like, you don't have another option.

602
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:16,200
Speaker 4: You have to listen to her.

603
00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:19,360
Speaker 5: And she was given direction and she told you what

604
00:30:19,400 --> 00:30:22,160
Speaker 5: she wanted, what she didn't want, what she wanted you

605
00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:25,000
Speaker 5: to improve on, to let her know what she had

606
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 5: to do because she was tied all these fuck ass meetings,

607
00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 5: like like, let's shift this up so I can be

608
00:30:30,120 --> 00:30:31,480
Speaker 5: at home doing other shit.

609
00:30:31,920 --> 00:30:32,160
Speaker 4: You know.

610
00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:37,480
Speaker 5: I she did it nicer than that, but I felt

611
00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 5: that in my spirit, and it was one of those

612
00:30:39,240 --> 00:30:44,120
Speaker 5: things for me. I'm like, she's a reflection of that

613
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,440
Speaker 5: you could be black and be a boss and.

614
00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 4: People have to listen to you.

615
00:30:48,600 --> 00:30:52,920
Speaker 5: You know, you can be in control, you can do

616
00:30:53,000 --> 00:30:56,680
Speaker 5: these things and be a black woman. And I really

617
00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 5: appreciate the black woman thing because when it comes to

618
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:03,240
Speaker 5: black men, you quote unquote get respect and places in

619
00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 5: the areas where black men didn't. Because if it was

620
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 5: a black man that did this exact same documentary, A

621
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:10,720
Speaker 5: lot of people that will be shitting on Beyonce would

622
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:13,880
Speaker 5: be nothing but praises and clapping and clapping and rah rah.

679
00:34:49,920 --> 00:34:52,640
Speaker 2: of get the reverence that it has within the culture,

680
00:34:53,200 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 2: and honestly, man like Beyonce is such a game changer.

681
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:59,840
Speaker 2: I haven't seen nobody shitting on HBCU since this ship dropped,

682
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 2: and y'all know how contrarian that is.

683
00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,719
Speaker 3: Twitter a lot of shit on HBCUs like.

684
00:35:05,239 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 2: It's gotta be like, I'm not like those Negroes type

685
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:13,280
Speaker 2: of like like energy, like people have been so proud

686
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,640
Speaker 2: of like the establishment, whether they went or not. I've

687
00:35:16,640 --> 00:35:18,799
Speaker 2: seen people talk about how like, yo, I'm make sure

688
00:35:18,840 --> 00:35:21,279
Speaker 2: my kids know they can go to HBCU, And that's

689
00:35:21,280 --> 00:35:24,760
Speaker 2: that influence that people have with that platform, Like Beyonce

690
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:28,759
Speaker 2: is such a big deal that people could feel that

691
00:35:28,920 --> 00:35:30,839
Speaker 2: pride in it, because I think too often we get

692
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 2: bogged down to all the other shit, right right, you know,

693
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:36,879
Speaker 2: I mean, y'all remember that episode I talked about them

694
00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:39,120
Speaker 2: going to talk to Trump, and I'm still emotional about that.

695
00:35:39,080 --> 00:35:39,759
Speaker 3: Shit, like.

696
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:43,880
Speaker 2: Just but I knew they had to do it, right,

697
00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:46,360
Speaker 2: because that's how fucked up it is. I hope people

698
00:35:46,480 --> 00:35:50,279
Speaker 2: like give to HBCUs. I know she did, but I

699
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:52,600
Speaker 2: hope other people do as well. I hope they're aspired

700
00:35:52,640 --> 00:35:58,200
Speaker 2: to understand that these institutions they will go away, especially

701
00:35:58,239 --> 00:36:02,160
Speaker 2: under Trump, if we do nothing like it was already

702
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:04,600
Speaker 2: kind of I mean, you guys, I know y'all.

703
00:36:04,520 --> 00:36:05,240
Speaker 3: Heard the article.

704
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,400
Speaker 2: Seeing the article about the white people that are shitting,

705
00:36:09,560 --> 00:36:13,359
Speaker 2: letting the dogs shit on the yard of.

706
00:36:12,320 --> 00:36:13,440
Speaker 3: The campus of Howard.

707
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:16,319
Speaker 2: They interview one of the white dudes, and he was

708
00:36:16,320 --> 00:36:18,440
Speaker 2: on basically like, if you don't like it, move out

709
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:19,840
Speaker 2: the city, bitch.

710
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:23,200
Speaker 4: This university was here wabbing for you. You wouldn't do

711
00:36:23,239 --> 00:36:24,400
Speaker 4: it at Harvard.

712
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,759
Speaker 2: Right, So you know, even if you would, man, that's

713
00:36:27,800 --> 00:36:30,319
Speaker 2: the white people shit. That's not don't do that shit,

714
00:36:30,840 --> 00:36:33,680
Speaker 2: not on our stuff. Take your dogs somewhere else. But

715
00:36:34,200 --> 00:36:38,560
Speaker 2: that's the whole point, is like that that attitude towards

716
00:36:38,560 --> 00:36:42,000
Speaker 2: our shit exists, and if we embrace that attitude too,

717
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:44,920
Speaker 2: it'll be gone. Man, it could be gone, just like

718
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 2: that Bessie Devoce Donald Trump. They're not trying to give

719
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:51,160
Speaker 2: them people the enough money to run the university, you know.

720
00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,480
Speaker 2: So I hope it encourages people to if you didn't

721
00:36:53,520 --> 00:36:58,479
Speaker 2: go to an HBCU, google HBCU near me, find one,

722
00:36:58,760 --> 00:36:59,840
Speaker 2: throw them a couple of dollars.

723
00:36:59,840 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 4: Man.

724
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,359
Speaker 2: I'm not talking about you gotta like go in there

725
00:37:02,360 --> 00:37:05,000
Speaker 2: and write them a million dollar check. But I mean,

726
00:37:05,400 --> 00:37:08,440
Speaker 2: you know, do a little something for you for your folks,

727
00:37:08,440 --> 00:37:11,680
Speaker 2: because it's kids that's going there right now. It's kids

728
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:14,120
Speaker 2: that don't get a chance that go there, you know,

729
00:37:14,239 --> 00:37:17,960
Speaker 2: that wouldn't have graduated in a white university because you

730
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,960
Speaker 2: don't have the support system from white universities. Many times,

731
00:37:21,280 --> 00:37:24,440
Speaker 2: the social cost of being black in a white space.

732
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:27,640
Speaker 2: Many black people who have gone to p WS will

733
00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:30,520
Speaker 2: tell you about it, you know, which is why I

734
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:35,120
Speaker 2: never understood the battle between p WIS and HBCUs, because

735
00:37:35,120 --> 00:37:38,040
Speaker 2: it's like, man, we struggling wherever we go, ever we go,

736
00:37:38,360 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 2: all people all of HBCU is doing. It's trying to

737
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,479
Speaker 2: reduce the social struggle just a little bit you're still

738
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:45,680
Speaker 2: gonna be an individual.

739
00:37:46,239 --> 00:37:49,680
Speaker 3: They're still like good and bad. At the HBCU, there's still.

740
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:52,640
Speaker 2: Other social struggles you'll be taking on, but you know,

741
00:37:52,760 --> 00:37:54,040
Speaker 2: first time away from home.

742
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,320
Speaker 3: Some institutes are more religious than others.

743
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,760
Speaker 2: There's a lot of stuff, you know, the money struggles

744
00:38:01,800 --> 00:38:03,000
Speaker 2: that universities having stuff.

745
00:38:03,040 --> 00:38:05,200
Speaker 3: So like this is not to knock and.

746
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,520
Speaker 2: Say like HBCU is a perfect no, It's just to say,

747
00:38:07,560 --> 00:38:11,920
Speaker 2: like they deserve a place. There's so many black intellectuals

748
00:38:11,920 --> 00:38:14,680
Speaker 2: that people respect that came right out of those fucking.

749
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 3: Schools, right right out of those schools, and then people

750
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:18,839
Speaker 3: turn around and shit on them.

751
00:38:19,719 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 2: I'm like, well, who would you Where would we be?

752
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:24,879
Speaker 2: You know, if we ain't have a t what would

753
00:38:24,920 --> 00:38:27,400
Speaker 2: we be? How many black brilliant minds came right on

754
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:29,359
Speaker 2: out of that door and then you shit on that door.

755
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,279
Speaker 3: So anyway, all that to say, man, I.

756
00:38:32,360 --> 00:38:37,920
Speaker 2: Really appreciated just everything she did because it just felt

757
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:42,280
Speaker 2: like she was speaking for people. And then obviously musically

758
00:38:42,360 --> 00:38:48,080
Speaker 2: sonically throwing in that band behind everything, Freedom took on

759
00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:55,000
Speaker 2: the whole New Freedom sounded like a motherfucking actual like.

760
00:38:53,239 --> 00:38:57,000
Speaker 3: Like a freedom song, you know, like freedom for me

761
00:38:57,120 --> 00:38:57,719
Speaker 3: now is up?

762
00:38:57,719 --> 00:38:59,960
Speaker 2: There, We're all right, Like when you had to hear

763
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:03,480
Speaker 2: them horns on Freedom and the dancing and then the

764
00:39:03,560 --> 00:39:08,319
Speaker 2: choir singing along with it, like Kendrick's not even there,

765
00:39:08,440 --> 00:39:13,200
Speaker 2: and it's just like sonically elevated to such an another

766
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:15,520
Speaker 2: level than it even sounded to me on the album

767
00:39:15,920 --> 00:39:19,520
Speaker 2: where I'm like, yeah, Freedom now is like the song

768
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:21,200
Speaker 2: where I'm like, put this in your trailer for your

769
00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:25,879
Speaker 2: black movies, now you know what I mean, Like, let's

770
00:39:25,880 --> 00:39:28,080
Speaker 2: just go ahead and start cut chopping chopping up them

771
00:39:28,080 --> 00:39:30,239
Speaker 2: trailers and throwing Freedom in the hook at the end

772
00:39:30,239 --> 00:39:32,640
Speaker 2: where you get to the conclusion of the whatever the

773
00:39:32,640 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 2: conflict is. And now I'll be going to see your movie. Okay,

775
00:39:38,160 --> 00:39:40,319
Speaker 2: put Freedom underneath it and said I got five on it.

778
00:39:47,239 --> 00:39:50,000
Speaker 2: her journey so much because to see her blossom fully

779
00:39:50,040 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 2: into her avert pro black self.

780
00:39:54,400 --> 00:39:56,439
Speaker 3: That has been I've appreciated.

781
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,400
Speaker 2: That so much, Like I'm not a person that was

782
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:03,439
Speaker 2: in the high before like when b DA was out

783
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 2: and Destiny shouting and stuff. It was always like, Oh,

784
00:40:05,719 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 2: that's cool, and I understood and respect it, like, oh,

785
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,600
Speaker 2: that's black girls music, that's black women's music.

786
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:12,440
Speaker 3: My wife loves that music.

787
00:40:13,080 --> 00:40:16,400
Speaker 2: Well not really for me, that's dope, you know what

788
00:40:16,400 --> 00:40:19,360
Speaker 2: I mean, because I'm not I'm not a person that's pejority,

789
00:40:19,960 --> 00:40:22,560
Speaker 2: like it's black women's music.

790
00:40:22,719 --> 00:40:25,240
Speaker 3: Really, y'all need y'all like, nah, it's dope, man.

791
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,040
Speaker 4: Come on, And then that thing is we kind of

792
00:40:28,040 --> 00:40:29,759
Speaker 4: out about. People kill me with that.

793
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:33,520
Speaker 5: A lot of times, just let women be happy, and

794
00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:36,480
Speaker 5: I think sometimes that's a very hard concept for men

795
00:40:36,520 --> 00:40:38,839
Speaker 5: to understand. That times, if your wife loves some shit,

796
00:40:39,280 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 5: let her love the fuck out of it and give

797
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:44,040
Speaker 5: it to her and let her enjoy it, because you

798
00:40:44,160 --> 00:40:44,680
Speaker 5: know what.

799
00:40:44,840 --> 00:40:47,880
Speaker 4: When she happy, you get the fuck what about that?

800
00:40:47,960 --> 00:40:49,239
Speaker 4: Don't dudes understand?

801
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:52,600
Speaker 2: And not even just sex, but just like, why would

802
00:40:52,640 --> 00:40:54,240
Speaker 2: you want somebody not to be happy?

803
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,240
Speaker 3: Not even just real wife or your girl.

804
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:59,040
Speaker 2: But I see dudes do that shit on Facebook, Twitter,

805
00:40:59,080 --> 00:41:01,360
Speaker 2: social media. At the time, It's like, how can I

806
00:41:01,440 --> 00:41:03,799
Speaker 2: tease these women about the thing that they're into that

807
00:41:03,840 --> 00:41:06,560
Speaker 2: I'm not right? Just let them be happy, like they

808
00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:10,040
Speaker 2: got that bad bts. Now that a lot of people

809
00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:12,319
Speaker 2: are into and I've seen dudes go out of their

810
00:41:12,320 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 2: way to shit on it.

811
00:41:13,080 --> 00:41:15,160
Speaker 3: It's like, why, like.

812
00:41:15,080 --> 00:41:17,759
Speaker 2: What, what what do you gain by shitting on You

813
00:41:17,840 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 2: clearly don't listen to or care about this shit. You

814
00:41:20,719 --> 00:41:23,839
Speaker 2: clearly see people getting their whole entire motherfucking.

815
00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:24,360
Speaker 3: Lives to it.

816
00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:27,440
Speaker 2: Why would you need to be shady about it to them?

817
00:41:27,840 --> 00:41:30,720
Speaker 2: You need their attention that bad, You'll even take negative attention.

818
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:31,799
Speaker 4: That's what it is.

819
00:41:31,840 --> 00:41:35,839
Speaker 5: And I think sometimes people have an unhappiness within them,

820
00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:37,840
Speaker 5: so they like, if I'm not happy, you're not happy.

821
00:41:37,840 --> 00:41:41,760
Speaker 5: But it doesn't make any sense because you know, particularly

822
00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:43,480
Speaker 5: in the straight relationships, so a woman, it is just

823
00:41:43,680 --> 00:41:46,120
Speaker 5: supposed that everything is supposed to get it towards a man.

824
00:41:46,320 --> 00:41:49,400
Speaker 2: Well, it's just it's interesting because I'm saying, even if

825
00:41:49,440 --> 00:41:52,799
Speaker 2: it's not a relationship, right, like yeah, just like that

826
00:41:52,920 --> 00:41:56,000
Speaker 2: even just in general, like people see black women enjoining

827
00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:57,799
Speaker 2: some shit and they gotta find a way to shit

828
00:41:57,880 --> 00:42:01,560
Speaker 2: on it, right, It's crazy, like, you know, so you

829
00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:03,319
Speaker 2: might not even be dating these women. You might not

830
00:42:03,360 --> 00:42:05,759
Speaker 2: even be dating you might like it's just something about

831
00:42:05,800 --> 00:42:07,560
Speaker 2: how I find a way. And Beyonce was that for

832
00:42:07,600 --> 00:42:10,560
Speaker 2: a long time for a lot of dudes, I think,

833
00:42:10,880 --> 00:42:12,759
Speaker 2: and maybe she still lives, but people are a little

834
00:42:12,760 --> 00:42:15,720
Speaker 2: more quiet about it because her stepping so hard into

835
00:42:15,840 --> 00:42:20,040
Speaker 2: like I ain't black motherfuckers and I'm from Texas and

836
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:20,399
Speaker 2: I'll be.

837
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 3: Listening to rap and I cussed like these step into that.

838
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:28,799
Speaker 2: You see people totally different about how they come to

839
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:31,200
Speaker 2: come at her now than how it used to be.

840
00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:35,799
Speaker 2: You know, agreed, so but yeah, man, I don't know, man,

841
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,040
Speaker 2: I love I just love to see her do this

842
00:42:38,120 --> 00:42:39,239
Speaker 2: and that's what made me a fan.

843
00:42:39,320 --> 00:42:39,720
Speaker 3: It wasn't.

844
00:42:40,200 --> 00:42:43,839
Speaker 2: It was just like the self titled album. I was like, oh, god, like,

845
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:45,759
Speaker 2: and what's funny is I think a lot of people

846
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:47,440
Speaker 2: are like, oh yeah, the self titled album because she

847
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 2: was so like it was such a sex album, which

848
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,680
Speaker 2: I'm not knocking Beyonce of course, is beautiful, But that wasn't.

849
00:42:53,719 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 2: It was more about just like, oh, this is the

850
00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 2: real this is you you right, like, this is you

851
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:01,400
Speaker 2: without like a man being like don't do that or

852
00:43:01,880 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 2: your father being like, I don't know we should like.

853
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:06,240
Speaker 2: This is just you being like no no, no, no no no.

854
00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 2: I want to make this kind of music. I want

855
00:43:09,480 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 2: to do these kind of things. I'm gonna talk about

856
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:14,240
Speaker 2: fucking me, me and my husband fucking in the back.

857
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 3: Of this this car.

858
00:43:15,320 --> 00:43:17,000
Speaker 2: You need to pull roll up the partition and you

859
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:19,200
Speaker 2: don't want to see it, to which I don't know

860
00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:21,200
Speaker 2: why the driver will roll up the partition, but.

861
00:43:22,719 --> 00:43:24,800
Speaker 3: I don't know what kind of driver she got. Does

862
00:43:24,880 --> 00:43:27,200
Speaker 3: you don't want to see on her knees? Yes, yes,

863
00:43:27,239 --> 00:43:27,560
Speaker 3: I do.

864
00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:32,399
Speaker 2: Yes, speak for yourself, ma'am, but yeah, that but it's

865
00:43:32,440 --> 00:43:34,880
Speaker 2: that kind of thing where it's like to see her

866
00:43:34,920 --> 00:43:37,880
Speaker 2: be able to step so fully into that. And I

867
00:43:37,880 --> 00:43:40,160
Speaker 2: think it's with a lot of people, a lot of like,

868
00:43:40,200 --> 00:43:42,040
Speaker 2: it's not just a Beyonce thing, but I think with

869
00:43:42,120 --> 00:43:45,000
Speaker 2: a lot of people, that's how you find people that

870
00:43:45,719 --> 00:43:48,759
Speaker 2: love you, quote unquote without knowing you. But they love

871
00:43:48,760 --> 00:43:51,840
Speaker 2: you because you love yourself. You love like because everybody

872
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:56,880
Speaker 2: wants to love themselves. Everybody's envious of being themselves, loving

873
00:43:56,920 --> 00:44:01,600
Speaker 2: themselves and unapologetically being themselves in front of everyone, right.

874
00:44:01,719 --> 00:44:03,200
Speaker 4: And I think for.

875
00:44:04,719 --> 00:44:10,239
Speaker 5: A lot of people, particularly Black women, just we've been

876
00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:13,880
Speaker 5: kind of trained to be everybody but yourself, you know,

877
00:44:14,360 --> 00:44:17,239
Speaker 5: be the mother, be the sister, be the friend, be

878
00:44:17,320 --> 00:44:21,000
Speaker 5: the wife, be the girlfriend, be all these things to

879
00:44:21,160 --> 00:44:23,960
Speaker 5: everybody else, but nobody a lot of times never ask

880
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:25,319
Speaker 5: you what do you want to be?

881
00:44:25,400 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 4: And who are you? And I think for a lot

882
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:29,680
Speaker 4: of Black women.

883
00:44:29,560 --> 00:44:31,640
Speaker 5: Particularly and when they as they children get older and

884
00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 5: they leave the house, a lot of parents go through

885
00:44:34,520 --> 00:44:37,799
Speaker 5: identity crisis because particularly women, who am I? My life

886
00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:40,439
Speaker 5: has been wrapped around everybody else And for the first time,

887
00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:43,120
Speaker 5: I'm alone by myself, and I might not know who

888
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:45,880
Speaker 5: I am. I poured everything into my spouse or my

889
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:47,200
Speaker 5: maid or my significant other.

890
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:47,799
Speaker 4: Who am I?

891
00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:53,400
Speaker 5: And so I think I've learned to love who I

892
00:44:53,440 --> 00:44:57,239
Speaker 5: am and embrace who I am. And I've particularly as

893
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,400
Speaker 5: I've gotten older, I've just gotten more comfortable than my skin,

894
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,439
Speaker 5: and I am who I am.

895
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 4: You either like it or you don't.

896
00:45:04,280 --> 00:45:04,520
Speaker 3: You know.

897
00:45:04,680 --> 00:45:07,000
Speaker 4: I know I'm quirky. I know I could be weird.

898
00:45:07,120 --> 00:45:08,799
Speaker 4: I know I can be bubbly. I know I could

899
00:45:08,800 --> 00:45:12,840
Speaker 4: be energetic. You know I know I'm uh.

900
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:18,759
Speaker 5: I know me and I know that my personality is

901
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:20,320
Speaker 5: a turnoff for a lot of people.

902
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:22,840
Speaker 4: But baby, you're gonna have to take this, this what

903
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:23,279
Speaker 4: it is.

904
00:45:24,800 --> 00:45:28,040
Speaker 5: And I realized that a lot of times black it's

905
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,440
Speaker 5: amazing that Black women being themselves is fucking revolutionary. It

906
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:34,239
Speaker 5: doesn't make sense. Why is the revolutionary for you to

907
00:45:34,280 --> 00:45:37,280
Speaker 5: love yourself? Why is it revolutionary for you to embrace yourself?

908
00:45:37,520 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 5: Why is it revolutionary for you to have demands like

909
00:45:42,040 --> 00:45:44,799
Speaker 5: anybody else? But for some reason, for us, it's like,

910
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,600
Speaker 5: oh my gosh, you broke out your shell. Oh my gosh.

911
00:45:47,680 --> 00:45:50,520
Speaker 4: You know you're you're you know you're you're you're being bold,

912
00:45:50,520 --> 00:45:53,319
Speaker 4: you're telling people what to do. Yes, yes, yes, yes yes.

913
00:45:54,440 --> 00:45:55,439
Speaker 4: And I think that it's.

914
00:45:55,360 --> 00:45:59,200
Speaker 5: A beautiful thing when women do it and when they

915
00:45:59,239 --> 00:46:02,200
Speaker 5: get to the place where they love themselves. It's because

916
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,440
Speaker 5: it's a lot of women, But I've talked to a

917
00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 5: lot of black women that have very, very very low

918
00:46:07,239 --> 00:46:10,359
Speaker 5: self esteem. This started off when they was children, and

919
00:46:11,080 --> 00:46:14,480
Speaker 5: that shit is hard to course correct. It's hard to

920
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:16,680
Speaker 5: course correct love in your hair, it's hard to cause

921
00:46:16,719 --> 00:46:17,840
Speaker 5: correct love in your skin.

922
00:46:18,239 --> 00:46:20,520
Speaker 4: It's hard to course correct love and your flaws. It's

923
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:22,480
Speaker 4: hard to correct.

924
00:46:22,120 --> 00:46:25,120
Speaker 5: Those things when you've been told everything about you there's

925
00:46:25,160 --> 00:46:30,720
Speaker 5: something wrong. Make yourself small, make yourself invisible, make yourself

926
00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,560
Speaker 5: not be seen and heard, you know, put everybody else

927
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,520
Speaker 5: before you. It's hard to get to the point where

928
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,040
Speaker 5: you put yourself first. Because people become mad at you

929
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:42,440
Speaker 5: and jealous and upset and envious if you put yourself first,

930
00:46:42,440 --> 00:46:44,279
Speaker 5: Because when you put yourself first.

931
00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:46,400
Speaker 4: That mean people are gonna fall by the wayside.

932
00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,560
Speaker 5: When you put yourself first, people that were using you

933
00:46:48,800 --> 00:46:50,880
Speaker 5: and abusing you, and a lot of times people that

934
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:53,919
Speaker 5: saw a light in you would begin to be mad

935
00:46:53,960 --> 00:46:55,880
Speaker 5: and upset. I've come to the point where I'm like,

936
00:46:55,920 --> 00:46:57,719
Speaker 5: but baby, you're just gonna have to be mad. You're

937
00:46:57,719 --> 00:47:00,640
Speaker 5: just gonna have to be upset because if you jealous of.

938
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:02,720
Speaker 4: Me being me, I'm not the one with the problem.

939
00:47:02,840 --> 00:47:03,200
Speaker 3: You are.

940
00:47:03,560 --> 00:47:06,479
Speaker 5: But because a lot of times black women are taught

941
00:47:06,520 --> 00:47:08,520
Speaker 5: not to have that confrontation because you're afraid of the

942
00:47:08,560 --> 00:47:12,279
Speaker 5: angry black woman syndron. You know, just any type of

943
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:16,680
Speaker 5: confrontation is considered a bad thing or negative thing. Even

944
00:47:16,719 --> 00:47:19,640
Speaker 5: if we're not fussing or fighting or screaming or anything,

945
00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:24,319
Speaker 5: it's considered a negative thing. So but I've come to

946
00:47:24,360 --> 00:47:27,480
Speaker 5: the point where if you want to be free, conflict

947
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,480
Speaker 5: is a part of freedom. And that's very hard for

948
00:47:29,480 --> 00:47:33,040
Speaker 5: people to understand that. In order for you to be free,

949
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:34,680
Speaker 5: for you to be rid of really free, for you

950
00:47:34,760 --> 00:47:38,600
Speaker 5: to truly love yourself regardless of your flaws and your.

951
00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,760
Speaker 4: Imperfections and how many children you've.

952
00:47:40,600 --> 00:47:45,920
Speaker 5: Had, regardless of your past and how people feel about you.

953
00:47:45,920 --> 00:47:48,200
Speaker 4: You know, you've got to get past that.

954
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,759
Speaker 5: And it's very hard for people, particularly if you have

955
00:47:51,880 --> 00:47:54,280
Speaker 5: very timid personalities or.

956
00:47:55,080 --> 00:47:56,920
Speaker 4: You know, it's almost at a character to do that.

957
00:47:57,160 --> 00:48:01,200
Speaker 5: And that's one thing that I really did love about Beyonce,

958
00:48:01,360 --> 00:48:03,799
Speaker 5: and I really cannot express that enough about seeing her

959
00:48:03,880 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 5: in charge really did something and something else before we

960
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:11,520
Speaker 5: move on. She said that they did a whole rehearsal

961
00:48:12,080 --> 00:48:16,360
Speaker 5: without music, like everybody was just own was there, you know,

962
00:48:16,520 --> 00:48:18,719
Speaker 5: with their instruments and fully dress, and they just did

963
00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,120
Speaker 5: so all you heard was boo And I was like,

964
00:48:22,760 --> 00:48:26,759
Speaker 5: I couldn't even begin to just imagine the energy in there.

965
00:48:27,040 --> 00:48:29,680
Speaker 5: And I think that that energy was what she wanted

966
00:48:29,719 --> 00:48:33,000
Speaker 5: to capture and what she wanted to put and what

967
00:48:33,040 --> 00:48:35,720
Speaker 5: she wanted to give us. That's why she was hard

968
00:48:35,880 --> 00:48:39,640
Speaker 5: on people with the sound and all that type of stuff,

969
00:48:39,640 --> 00:48:43,720
Speaker 5: because she was like, I want people to feel this love,

970
00:48:43,960 --> 00:48:47,760
Speaker 5: this energy, this this this feeling that we have this.

971
00:48:49,160 --> 00:48:52,280
Speaker 4: Unity that we have here.

972
00:48:52,880 --> 00:48:58,799
Speaker 5: And I'm very I cant I say I'm very I'm

973
00:48:58,840 --> 00:49:01,239
Speaker 5: so glad that she gave give us a glimpse into

974
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:05,200
Speaker 5: her world so that we could see that part of

975
00:49:05,200 --> 00:49:07,240
Speaker 5: her life, because, like you said, she don't do interviews.

976
00:49:07,280 --> 00:49:08,440
Speaker 4: She's very separate.

977
00:49:08,560 --> 00:49:11,320
Speaker 5: So for me, it meant the world and something else,

978
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,120
Speaker 5: and that really bought tears to my eyes.

979
00:49:14,280 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 4: It was several times where.

980
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:17,799
Speaker 5: For you know, I was sitting there and I wouldn't like,

981
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,480
Speaker 5: but I was crying because it was just like overwhelming

982
00:49:21,640 --> 00:49:25,200
Speaker 5: just to kind of soak everything in all at once,

983
00:49:25,600 --> 00:49:29,000
Speaker 5: watching this black woman be free do her thing, talking

984
00:49:29,040 --> 00:49:30,759
Speaker 5: about she had a blank slate and.

985
00:49:30,719 --> 00:49:33,240
Speaker 4: She could literally do what she wanted to do.

986
00:49:33,640 --> 00:49:37,920
Speaker 5: And it's a privilege to be aby just do what

987
00:49:37,960 --> 00:49:40,879
Speaker 5: you want to do. Being black, you know, people don't

988
00:49:40,880 --> 00:49:42,279
Speaker 5: want to hear that, but she's at a point in

989
00:49:42,280 --> 00:49:44,160
Speaker 5: her life where she was like, y'all gonna have to deal.

990
00:49:44,640 --> 00:49:47,440
Speaker 4: Most people are at a point in their life where they're.

991
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:51,640
Speaker 5: Like that, and it was just really wonderful to watch

992
00:49:51,640 --> 00:49:53,799
Speaker 5: her kind of break those barriers and be like, if

993
00:49:53,840 --> 00:49:55,640
Speaker 5: my country asks and get up here and do it,

994
00:49:55,960 --> 00:49:57,120
Speaker 5: anybody can do it.

995
00:49:57,200 --> 00:49:58,880
Speaker 4: And I hope it encourages people.

996
00:49:58,640 --> 00:50:01,719
Speaker 5: To get out and art things and do things and

997
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:05,200
Speaker 5: dream and have aspirations.

998
00:50:03,960 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 4: And things like that. And also I think for me too,

999
00:50:09,320 --> 00:50:09,959
Speaker 4: it was.

1000
00:50:10,080 --> 00:50:12,719
Speaker 5: When they was feeling a documentary, when they was going

1001
00:50:12,719 --> 00:50:19,640
Speaker 5: through their rehearsals and watching people's responses to other people

1002
00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:25,240
Speaker 5: be magical, you know, like and and it almost felt

1003
00:50:25,280 --> 00:50:29,319
Speaker 5: like almost like a religious experience because you know how

1004
00:50:29,360 --> 00:50:29,640
Speaker 5: we do.

1005
00:50:30,320 --> 00:50:32,320
Speaker 4: We who we hollow, we yell.

1006
00:50:32,320 --> 00:50:36,440
Speaker 5: We throw shoes, we we were very loud, because that's

1007
00:50:36,520 --> 00:50:37,439
Speaker 5: just a part of.

1008
00:50:37,360 --> 00:50:40,560
Speaker 4: What we do. And it was beautiful.

1009
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:43,440
Speaker 5: For her to show, like the emotions on people faces,

1010
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:48,080
Speaker 5: the expressions on people faces, to just us being black

1011
00:50:48,200 --> 00:50:50,960
Speaker 5: in the moments where we were just allowed to be

1012
00:50:51,040 --> 00:50:51,720
Speaker 5: free and black.

1013
00:50:52,680 --> 00:50:59,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then of course she still had Destiny Child there.

1014
00:50:57,600 --> 00:50:58,319
Speaker 4: And like you said, that.

1015
00:51:00,520 --> 00:51:04,880
Speaker 5: Blue eying and the thing about Destiny's Child, it was

1016
00:51:04,960 --> 00:51:07,239
Speaker 5: flawless where you were like, y'all literally could go on

1017
00:51:07,320 --> 00:51:08,520
Speaker 5: to it and people would buy.

1018
00:51:09,120 --> 00:51:12,080
Speaker 3: Yeah, they didn't miss a damn spot, even the.

1019
00:51:13,680 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, even like I said, they have Blue doing

1020
00:51:16,719 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 2: choreography with people for a second.

1021
00:51:20,080 --> 00:51:21,360
Speaker 3: It was just like a collage of that.

1022
00:51:21,560 --> 00:51:26,319
Speaker 2: And you know, it was funny because people say, like, oh,

1023
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:27,840
Speaker 2: I'm not, nobody's.

1024
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:28,080
Speaker 3: In the behive.

1025
00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:30,759
Speaker 2: If you ask everybody, nobody's in the behive. Nobody wants

1026
00:51:30,760 --> 00:51:33,560
Speaker 2: to admit that I'm not a stand a h h.

1027
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:36,200
Speaker 2: And the only time we attribute somebody being a stand

1028
00:51:36,239 --> 00:51:38,799
Speaker 2: for Beyonce is when they do something completely uncalled for

1029
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:42,320
Speaker 2: and crazy, like if they dock somebody, if they harassed somebody.

1030
00:51:42,360 --> 00:51:45,320
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, it's, you know, these beehive stands.

1031
00:51:45,920 --> 00:51:49,160
Speaker 2: But that's not everybody. If you black, you in the

1032
00:51:49,239 --> 00:51:52,920
Speaker 2: beehive unless you a coon. And I know this because

1033
00:51:53,200 --> 00:51:55,600
Speaker 2: let somebody shit on beyond, say in front of you,

1034
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,640
Speaker 2: and see if you just let that shit slide, most

1035
00:51:58,680 --> 00:52:02,239
Speaker 2: black people are gonna be like, nah, hold up, you know.

1036
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:04,279
Speaker 2: And the ones that had then impetus to join in,

1037
00:52:04,360 --> 00:52:07,399
Speaker 2: say some coons real talk. They just love white people

1038
00:52:07,480 --> 00:52:09,400
Speaker 2: shit that much that they want to be down. But

1039
00:52:09,560 --> 00:52:11,880
Speaker 2: like that, that's one of those things that you have

1040
00:52:11,920 --> 00:52:14,000
Speaker 2: to step up and be like, nah, hold up.

1041
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:15,320
Speaker 3: Why she gotta catch.

1042
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:18,080
Speaker 2: Hell in the way that these other people don't, right,

1043
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,880
Speaker 2: we gotta be sitting. We gotta be sensitive about Britney

1044
00:52:20,880 --> 00:52:24,200
Speaker 2: Spears mental health. Come on, we gotta be sensitive about

1045
00:52:24,400 --> 00:52:26,560
Speaker 2: like Adele and all the.

1046
00:52:26,520 --> 00:52:27,680
Speaker 3: Issues about her body.

1047
00:52:28,239 --> 00:52:31,000
Speaker 2: We gotta be sensitive to everybody, but Beyonesce funk out

00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:46,359

00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,319
Speaker 2: tagging people on Instagram.

1088
00:54:22,600 --> 00:54:23,120
Speaker 3: That's cool.

1089
00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:25,440
Speaker 2: She deserved all that credit for being the one to

1090
00:54:25,440 --> 00:54:27,560
Speaker 2: put it all together because Lloyd knows that the show

1091
00:54:27,560 --> 00:54:29,960
Speaker 2: would have been a flop. Guess who would have took

1092
00:54:30,080 --> 00:54:32,960
Speaker 2: all the blame right right?

1093
00:54:32,680 --> 00:54:37,000
Speaker 5: And also the thing is she also let us see

1094
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:40,640
Speaker 5: that she's not lazy, like she's extremely hardworking.

1095
00:54:40,080 --> 00:54:42,839
Speaker 3: Person, Like who needs to see that right.

1096
00:54:42,880 --> 00:54:45,440
Speaker 4: People underestimate how hard she works.

1097
00:54:45,680 --> 00:54:49,360
Speaker 5: She basically was like I had the dances on one stage,

1098
00:54:49,400 --> 00:54:52,160
Speaker 5: the sound people on one stage, and the band and

1099
00:54:52,239 --> 00:54:55,720
Speaker 5: another stage. They was on three separate sets, and I

1100
00:54:55,800 --> 00:55:01,399
Speaker 5: went from set to set to set, practice rehearsing. Then

1101
00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:06,000
Speaker 5: I turn around and meet with fifty managers. Then I

1102
00:55:06,040 --> 00:55:08,440
Speaker 5: had to turn around and go home. Then I had

1103
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:10,000
Speaker 5: to turn around and do it over again, while I'm

1104
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:12,760
Speaker 5: dealing with spasms and whatever else is happening in my body,

1105
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:16,040
Speaker 5: you know. And that's the level of dedication that the

1106
00:55:16,080 --> 00:55:20,000
Speaker 5: average person could not do and would not do.

1107
00:55:20,840 --> 00:55:25,120
Speaker 2: And I mean keep in mind, she still kind of

1108
00:55:25,320 --> 00:55:27,840
Speaker 2: is the nigga that got the job at McDonald's and

1109
00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:32,360
Speaker 2: is giving everybody like extra fries because she put the

1110
00:55:32,400 --> 00:55:37,279
Speaker 2: shit on Netflix, which everybody got. So now if you

1111
00:55:37,320 --> 00:55:39,759
Speaker 2: weren't up for the YouTube, you didn't catch one of

1112
00:55:39,800 --> 00:55:42,800
Speaker 2: them bootleg streams, you know, your ass can't afford to

1113
00:55:42,840 --> 00:55:45,000
Speaker 2: take it to coach Ella. Most of us are not

1114
00:55:45,080 --> 00:55:47,240
Speaker 2: balling like that, or even lucky enough to be balling

1115
00:55:47,320 --> 00:55:50,239
Speaker 2: like that to then be like, well, then you can

1116
00:55:50,320 --> 00:55:53,239
Speaker 2: experience it in a way nobody else can experience it

1117
00:55:53,400 --> 00:55:57,000
Speaker 2: on Netflix. I'm gonna break it down, Like, that's the

1118
00:55:57,080 --> 00:55:59,320
Speaker 2: kind of balls shit that I really be hoping niggas

1119
00:55:59,320 --> 00:55:59,600
Speaker 2: can do.

1120
00:56:00,360 --> 00:56:00,560
Speaker 3: Well.

1121
00:56:00,600 --> 00:56:02,560
Speaker 2: You just don't see many black people even in a

1122
00:56:02,600 --> 00:56:05,719
Speaker 2: position to ever do something like this, and to see

1123
00:56:05,719 --> 00:56:08,120
Speaker 2: people try to have pod shots and resentment about it.

1124
00:56:08,239 --> 00:56:33,600
Speaker 3: Then just be mad. As she said, everybody the same anyway,

1125
00:56:33,719 --> 00:56:36,920
Speaker 3: all Right, Hong Kong is amazing. Everybody should see it.

1126
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:37,400
Speaker 4: That album.

1127
00:56:37,480 --> 00:56:41,480
Speaker 5: That album goes hard because I played it, and and

1128
00:56:42,120 --> 00:56:45,240
Speaker 5: literally if you don't, if you're not careful, you're literally

1129
00:56:45,280 --> 00:56:47,840
Speaker 5: just you literally just have a one person party, like

1130
00:56:47,880 --> 00:56:48,520
Speaker 5: because that ship.

1131
00:56:48,560 --> 00:56:49,640
Speaker 4: It goes from song.

1132
00:56:49,560 --> 00:56:51,520
Speaker 5: To song, the song, the song, the song, the song,

1133
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:55,279
Speaker 5: so before you know it, yes, you're having a one

1134
00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:55,920
Speaker 5: person party.

1135
00:56:56,480 --> 00:56:59,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's dope, good workout music, all that type of music.

1136
00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:03,800
Speaker 2: All right, we talked about that a long time. I

1137
00:57:04,160 --> 00:57:07,359
Speaker 2: didn't plan a certain amount of time to talk about it,

1138
00:57:07,880 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 2: but I did want to throw out one more thing.

1139
00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:14,719
Speaker 2: I also watched two parts of the four part Reconstruction

1140
00:57:14,840 --> 00:57:17,680
Speaker 2: documentary on PBS. I can't find the first two parts

1141
00:57:17,720 --> 00:57:19,840
Speaker 2: on PBS what they are on YouTube, so I will

1142
00:57:19,840 --> 00:57:22,840
Speaker 2: be watching it there. Okay, so it was four parts, yes, Okay,

1143
00:57:24,760 --> 00:57:27,240
Speaker 2: Skip Gates did it.

1144
00:57:27,240 --> 00:57:28,200
Speaker 3: It's really good.

1145
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:34,160
Speaker 2: Really education reconstruction is one of those parts of history

1146
00:57:34,920 --> 00:57:37,840
Speaker 2: that most of us are not taught very much about.

1147
00:57:39,640 --> 00:57:42,280
Speaker 2: We're kind of taught like slavery ended and then the

1148
00:57:42,360 --> 00:57:46,120
Speaker 2: Jim Crow South started, and they skipped over the eight

1149
00:57:46,200 --> 00:57:51,360
Speaker 2: or nine years where the South was essentially, you know,

1150
00:57:52,080 --> 00:57:55,360
Speaker 2: forced to give black people their rights and all the

1151
00:57:55,400 --> 00:57:58,040
Speaker 2: things that they did to circumvent giving.

1152
00:57:57,720 --> 00:57:59,320
Speaker 4: Black people those rights.

1153
00:57:59,400 --> 00:58:02,200
Speaker 2: It's really important that you listen to, that you watch

1154
00:58:02,280 --> 00:58:05,240
Speaker 2: this thing, that you educate yourself because this is the

1155
00:58:05,240 --> 00:58:06,920
Speaker 2: shit they don't want you to know about. And a

1156
00:58:06,960 --> 00:58:10,440
Speaker 2: lot of the solutions that black people have to racism

1157
00:58:10,480 --> 00:58:12,720
Speaker 2: and oppression and the things that we get on each

1158
00:58:12,760 --> 00:58:16,760
Speaker 2: other for they've been tried before, yes, like in the

1159
00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:19,560
Speaker 2: eighteen hundreds. They have tried all this shit, and so

1160
00:58:20,320 --> 00:58:22,640
Speaker 2: you know, hopefully people can learn to back off each

1161
00:58:22,680 --> 00:58:27,000
Speaker 2: other a little bit. But to see the bravery highlighted

1162
00:58:27,040 --> 00:58:28,320
Speaker 2: of certain people like I to B.

1163
00:58:28,480 --> 00:58:35,680
Speaker 3: Wells, Frederick right, to see like you know, people talk

1164
00:58:35,720 --> 00:58:38,280
Speaker 3: about like Booker T. Washington and.

1165
00:58:39,880 --> 00:58:42,480
Speaker 2: Why his rhetoric was a certain way even when behind

1166
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:46,360
Speaker 2: the scenes he was doing something completely different. It's really

1167
00:58:46,400 --> 00:58:52,600
Speaker 2: important speaking of HBCUs, I mean, like the founding of HBCUs,

1168
00:58:52,840 --> 00:58:57,720
Speaker 2: the education and importance and the subversiveness of HBCUs. A

1169
00:58:57,760 --> 00:59:02,720
Speaker 2: lot of that is because of reconstruction. To see Jim

1170
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:06,360
Speaker 2: Crow Laws in the South, and not just the Jim

1171
00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,640
Speaker 2: Crow laws.

1172
00:59:08,920 --> 00:59:09,600
Speaker 3: Uh. Oh.

1173
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:11,520
Speaker 2: By the way, you can also find all four parts

1174
00:59:11,560 --> 00:59:14,600
Speaker 2: on PBS dot org for free, but not just the

1175
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:18,000
Speaker 2: laws down south. But like before there were Jim Crow laws.

1176
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:22,040
Speaker 2: The things that started, like one of the biggest.

1177
00:59:22,200 --> 00:59:24,439
Speaker 3: Uh, one of the.

1178
00:59:24,360 --> 00:59:30,640
Speaker 2: Biggest like impacts and very hurtful to this day on

1179
00:59:30,680 --> 00:59:36,160
Speaker 2: our society was the demonization of black men as savage rapists.

1180
00:59:36,400 --> 00:59:36,520
Speaker 8: Right.

1181
00:59:37,440 --> 00:59:40,440
Speaker 2: Uh, so much of it historically has been used as

1182
00:59:40,440 --> 00:59:44,400
Speaker 2: propaganda against us. In Wilmington, North Carolina, there was honestly

1183
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:50,200
Speaker 2: a insurrection that basically was a genocide of a black city,

1184
00:59:51,080 --> 00:59:56,920
Speaker 2: and it started with news newspapers publishing false articles accusing

1185
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:58,960
Speaker 2: black men of raping white women.

1186
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:00,680
Speaker 3: And it was all.

1187
01:00:00,560 --> 01:00:03,200
Speaker 2: Because they were jealous of the fact that there were

1188
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:06,640
Speaker 2: black people that were going to be in government. So

1189
01:00:06,880 --> 01:00:09,520
Speaker 2: they went to the town, forced all of them to

1190
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:14,880
Speaker 2: resign at gunpoint, and then started ramsacking the town and

1191
01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:17,040
Speaker 2: killed black people in the streets.

1192
01:00:17,040 --> 01:00:18,360
Speaker 3: As they fled. Right.

1193
01:00:18,920 --> 01:00:20,920
Speaker 2: Uh, I think I forget which river it was, but

1194
01:00:20,960 --> 01:00:23,160
Speaker 2: they were like, you know, the river ran red with blood,

1195
01:00:23,200 --> 01:00:25,680
Speaker 2: and then they took pictures afterwards smiling.

1196
01:00:26,040 --> 01:00:27,760
Speaker 4: It was near. I won't say it was near.

1197
01:00:30,520 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 2: Yeah, I said, oh, it's good Will went to North Carolina.

1198
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:39,640
Speaker 2: And so they killed him and took pictures in front

1199
01:00:39,640 --> 01:00:44,000
Speaker 2: of the burned out town buildings and and you know,

1200
01:00:44,080 --> 01:00:46,760
Speaker 2: government buildings and and all that stuff because they just

1201
01:00:46,800 --> 01:00:48,920
Speaker 2: didn't want black people to be in power of anything.

1202
01:00:49,480 --> 01:00:52,160
Speaker 2: And this is this has done multiple places, multiple times.

1203
01:00:53,200 --> 01:00:55,640
Speaker 2: And I always think about those pictures and how smiling

1204
01:00:55,880 --> 01:00:59,080
Speaker 2: those white people are. And those white people are somebody's grandparents,

1205
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:03,240
Speaker 2: somebody's great great gat grandparents, somebody somebody, you know, like

1206
01:01:03,320 --> 01:01:05,760
Speaker 2: all those people that was in my state, North Carolina.

1207
01:01:06,320 --> 01:01:06,560
Speaker 3: You know.

1208
01:01:06,920 --> 01:01:11,800
Speaker 2: So it's and I guarantee you there's there's gotta be

1209
01:01:11,960 --> 01:01:14,439
Speaker 2: hundreds of these. This is not uh, you can name

1210
01:01:14,480 --> 01:01:17,040
Speaker 2: twelve probably. I don't know Black Wall Street like.

1211
01:01:16,960 --> 01:01:19,840
Speaker 4: It's and it happened all across the country.

1212
01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:23,240
Speaker 5: I don't know where people have this narrative that racism

1213
01:01:23,480 --> 01:01:26,160
Speaker 5: quote unquote old it happens down south even to the day,

1214
01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:28,440
Speaker 5: bitches white people, there is racism.

1215
01:01:28,480 --> 01:01:29,600
Speaker 4: Now what are we talking about?

1216
01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:36,880
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this violence was so like, but it was like,

1217
01:01:37,440 --> 01:01:39,440
Speaker 2: so when you see people talk about like black people

1218
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 2: just need to get our own, how can we be

1219
01:01:41,560 --> 01:01:44,000
Speaker 2: trying to get in with the white men, It's like, well,

1220
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:45,960
Speaker 2: they kill people that try to get their own, They

1221
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:48,640
Speaker 2: kill people that try to integrate, They kill people for

1222
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:50,200
Speaker 2: minding their fucking business.

1223
01:01:50,200 --> 01:01:52,440
Speaker 3: They just killed people jealousy.

1224
01:01:52,600 --> 01:01:55,360
Speaker 2: At one point, they were lynching black men and saying

1225
01:01:55,360 --> 01:01:57,240
Speaker 2: it's because these black men were looking at white women

1226
01:01:57,360 --> 01:01:59,800
Speaker 2: or sleeping with white women, and they just do it

1227
01:01:59,800 --> 01:02:01,880
Speaker 2: old and over all the time, right, they were so

1228
01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:03,520
Speaker 2: upset that they no longer.

1229
01:02:03,320 --> 01:02:04,040
Speaker 3: Have these slaves.

1230
01:02:04,760 --> 01:02:08,200
Speaker 2: And now it's like, but all the black men coincidentally

1231
01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:12,160
Speaker 2: happened to be prominent business owners. So it's just, oh,

1232
01:02:12,360 --> 01:02:14,720
Speaker 2: just somehow these black people in these black towns, these

1233
01:02:14,720 --> 01:02:17,440
Speaker 2: black men that are doing a little too well, car

1234
01:02:17,520 --> 01:02:19,640
Speaker 2: a little too nice, close, a little too spiffy, making

1235
01:02:19,680 --> 01:02:22,840
Speaker 2: a little too much money. Somehow they're all rapists and

1236
01:02:22,880 --> 01:02:26,360
Speaker 2: need to die. But that's not our problem. That's everyone else.

1237
01:02:26,400 --> 01:02:30,320
Speaker 2: That's black people's problem. You know, they fucking uh burned

1238
01:02:30,320 --> 01:02:34,960
Speaker 2: down out of b Wells Printing Press, had the flee Memphis,

1239
01:02:35,040 --> 01:02:37,240
Speaker 2: you know, like and these facts are coming at you

1240
01:02:37,240 --> 01:02:39,600
Speaker 2: boom boom boom boom boom boo boom, but it's contextualizing

1241
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:44,560
Speaker 2: it with pictures with actual Like here's the article that says, like,

1242
01:02:45,280 --> 01:02:51,040
Speaker 2: you know, negroism defunct, you know, after they destroyed the

1243
01:02:51,080 --> 01:02:53,360
Speaker 2: black town by killing all these people, and the fact

1244
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:57,040
Speaker 2: that the newspaper knew that they were complicit in getting

1245
01:02:57,080 --> 01:02:57,880
Speaker 2: these people killed.

1246
01:02:58,680 --> 01:02:59,720
Speaker 3: You know, this is this is.

1247
01:02:59,760 --> 01:03:03,000
Speaker 2: When we talk about whiteness. People think it's like an

1248
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:06,760
Speaker 2: individual thing. Now we talk about whiteness, is talking about whiteness.

1249
01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:07,600
Speaker 3: Tm M mask.

1250
01:03:08,440 --> 01:03:11,240
Speaker 2: It has been so dangerous and daily in this country,

1251
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:13,280
Speaker 2: especially if you are black.

1252
01:03:13,760 --> 01:03:15,680
Speaker 3: It has affected you in some way. Its affected your

1253
01:03:15,680 --> 01:03:16,760
Speaker 3: ancestors in some way.

1254
01:03:17,080 --> 01:03:18,720
Speaker 2: It's why you'll never see me wear one of those

1255
01:03:18,720 --> 01:03:22,240
Speaker 2: fucking I'm not my ancestor shirts because they were killing

1256
01:03:22,440 --> 01:03:24,680
Speaker 2: black people and they black people were fighting back and

1257
01:03:24,680 --> 01:03:27,200
Speaker 2: they still killed them because there was more white people

1258
01:03:27,200 --> 01:03:30,720
Speaker 2: than black people and they were the aggressives in these cases.

1259
01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:34,280
Speaker 3: So you know, to see this.

1260
01:03:35,880 --> 01:03:39,800
Speaker 2: Documentary you know, on TV, like it was so dope

1261
01:03:40,680 --> 01:03:42,880
Speaker 2: because I do enjoy knowing these type of things, and

1262
01:03:42,920 --> 01:03:46,560
Speaker 2: I learned about different people I didn't know about. I

1263
01:03:46,600 --> 01:03:48,840
Speaker 2: forget his name, but the black man who was like

1264
01:03:48,960 --> 01:03:55,080
Speaker 2: a minstrel act who essentially used the subversiveness of being

1265
01:03:55,080 --> 01:03:59,040
Speaker 2: a minstrel act to get black actors not wearing black face,

1266
01:03:59,240 --> 01:04:03,520
Speaker 2: not being cone onto uh on Broadway.

1267
01:04:04,520 --> 01:04:05,800
Speaker 4: Made a lot of money doing that.

1268
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:08,040
Speaker 3: It's called two real coons or something like that.

1269
01:04:08,600 --> 01:04:10,680
Speaker 2: And by the time you show up, you don't realize it,

1270
01:04:10,760 --> 01:04:12,800
Speaker 2: or white people don't realize it only one of them

1271
01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:17,080
Speaker 2: is actually wearing that coon makeup. You're actually just watching

1272
01:04:17,080 --> 01:04:18,800
Speaker 2: a play full of black people in this one dude.

1273
01:04:19,520 --> 01:04:23,160
Speaker 2: And he was like the highest black performer on Broadway

1274
01:04:23,240 --> 01:04:24,880
Speaker 2: ever and all this type of stuff at the time,

1275
01:04:25,120 --> 01:04:28,040
Speaker 2: like just you know all that stuff, man, I to

1276
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:33,640
Speaker 2: b Wells, the sacrifices she made and uh and just

1277
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:36,520
Speaker 2: reporting about this stuff, the danger to her life that

1278
01:04:36,600 --> 01:04:37,120
Speaker 2: this was.

1279
01:04:38,720 --> 01:04:38,840
Speaker 9: So.

1280
01:04:39,760 --> 01:04:42,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, I hope people take the time out to watch it. Yeah,

1281
01:04:42,640 --> 01:04:44,360
Speaker 2: I think it was Bert Williams. I think that's who

1282
01:04:44,360 --> 01:04:47,320
Speaker 2: it was, Steven, So I think I hope people take

1283
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:50,720
Speaker 2: the time out to watch it. I actually watch I

1284
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:54,040
Speaker 2: watched it once and then I've been watching it again

1285
01:04:54,440 --> 01:04:57,000
Speaker 2: just just because it's so much stuff in there, like

1286
01:04:57,040 --> 01:05:00,400
Speaker 2: it's so packed you you can't really tweet it. You

1287
01:05:00,480 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 2: just got to sit down and watch it because everything is.

1288
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:04,560
Speaker 3: Like and then this shit happened.

1289
01:05:04,600 --> 01:05:07,280
Speaker 2: And then this happened the World's Fair where they didn't

1290
01:05:07,280 --> 01:05:10,400
Speaker 2: invite black people. They shoot black people in from Africa,

1291
01:05:10,440 --> 01:05:13,880
Speaker 2: but didn't invite any black African Americans.

1292
01:05:13,200 --> 01:05:15,840
Speaker 3: To the fucking World's Fair.

1293
01:05:16,040 --> 01:05:19,960
Speaker 2: And that's when Frederick Douglass gave like his biggest, like last.

1294
01:05:19,680 --> 01:05:22,120
Speaker 3: Speech that everybody remembers, like.

1295
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:25,600
Speaker 2: It's just I don't know, it was just kind of

1296
01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:29,960
Speaker 2: really dope to see to see that, So I hope

1297
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:35,760
Speaker 2: you guys check that out. And yeah, obviously you know

1298
01:05:36,160 --> 01:05:38,040
Speaker 2: it's all kinds of black trauma and shit in there.

1299
01:05:38,080 --> 01:05:40,240
Speaker 3: So if you can't handle it, I get it.

1300
01:05:40,560 --> 01:05:43,600
Speaker 2: But for those of y'all that can and don't want

1301
01:05:43,640 --> 01:05:47,080
Speaker 2: to be not informed, I mean the skip gates he's

1302
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:51,479
Speaker 2: basically giving you like this isn't about teasing your pain

1303
01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:55,800
Speaker 2: or trying to like make you feel bad or whatever.

1304
01:05:55,960 --> 01:05:57,600
Speaker 3: It's really educational.

1305
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:01,000
Speaker 2: And it's also, like I said, for me, it always

1306
01:06:01,040 --> 01:06:04,960
Speaker 2: makes me feel less crazy, correct, Like I always feel

1307
01:06:05,000 --> 01:06:08,080
Speaker 2: like this is grounded in something. These feelings I feel

1308
01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,480
Speaker 2: on the soil of this country. It's coming from somewhere

1309
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,680
Speaker 2: and it's not just you know, in my head, like

1310
01:06:14,720 --> 01:06:18,120
Speaker 2: there's a history to this, whether it's in my DNA

1311
01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:20,880
Speaker 2: or in my brain or just passed down for my

1312
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:25,880
Speaker 2: people or whatever. So and then the last thing I'll

1313
01:06:25,880 --> 01:06:28,640
Speaker 2: say before we move on from this. It also made

1314
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:34,520
Speaker 2: me think about something when people talk about respectability politics,

1315
01:06:34,960 --> 01:06:39,120
Speaker 2: there was a time and in some instances it still

1316
01:06:39,240 --> 01:06:41,640
Speaker 2: kind of is, but people call it something different. But

1317
01:06:42,560 --> 01:06:46,360
Speaker 2: the whole respectability politics things was revolutionary at a time,

1318
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:50,240
Speaker 2: and I don't think people frame it in that context.

1319
01:06:50,240 --> 01:06:54,000
Speaker 2: They just frame it as like a negative towards it,

1320
01:06:54,080 --> 01:07:00,520
Speaker 2: like just respectability politics. But these people weren't stupid. They

1321
01:07:00,520 --> 01:07:05,080
Speaker 2: were looking for two things. Number One, you're living in

1322
01:07:05,080 --> 01:07:08,960
Speaker 2: a society that says black people can't If I can't,

1323
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:15,960
Speaker 2: I mean can't anything. We're not smart, we're not sophisticated,

1324
01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:19,760
Speaker 2: we're not we don't have any class, we don't have

1325
01:07:19,960 --> 01:07:25,480
Speaker 2: we don't belong in white society, right we you know.

1326
01:07:25,760 --> 01:07:29,560
Speaker 2: And so a counter to that for a lot of

1327
01:07:29,560 --> 01:07:32,120
Speaker 2: black people at the time was, you know, like Oa B.

1328
01:07:32,240 --> 01:07:36,520
Speaker 2: Wells and Frederick Douglas, two motherfuckers, y'all are not as wollass,

1329
01:07:36,560 --> 01:07:39,000
Speaker 2: that are not as brave ass. So let's just chill

1330
01:07:39,080 --> 01:07:43,640
Speaker 2: with that before you start coming at folks. You had

1331
01:07:43,640 --> 01:07:47,000
Speaker 2: two people that they set out to photograph black people,

1332
01:07:48,080 --> 01:07:50,320
Speaker 2: you know, and this is like so back in the day,

1333
01:07:50,320 --> 01:07:53,840
Speaker 2: it's the photographs before people smile their photographs, right, Like,

1334
01:07:53,880 --> 01:07:55,880
Speaker 2: it's the photographs you just look real still to the

1335
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:57,919
Speaker 2: side and then I guess it takes five minutes before

1336
01:07:57,960 --> 01:07:58,720
Speaker 2: it's done or whatever.

1337
01:07:58,880 --> 01:07:59,160
Speaker 3: You know.

1338
01:08:00,040 --> 01:08:02,000
Speaker 4: I was parted to get to get it back right.

1339
01:08:02,160 --> 01:08:07,000
Speaker 2: But the pejorativeness that we say respectability politics with is.

1340
01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:10,160
Speaker 3: One that is just la.

1341
01:08:10,440 --> 01:08:13,680
Speaker 2: It's a lack of context of history in which respectability

1342
01:08:13,720 --> 01:08:17,639
Speaker 2: politics was about literally getting respect. Now, sure it's respect

1343
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:19,840
Speaker 2: from racist people that are never going to give it,

1344
01:08:20,160 --> 01:08:23,080
Speaker 2: but at the time it was this was not something

1345
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:24,400
Speaker 2: that I haven't even been tried before.

1346
01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:29,879
Speaker 3: And it was to and it was not just to to.

1347
01:08:29,240 --> 01:08:33,040
Speaker 2: Gain assimilation, but to prove them wrong, to say, you

1348
01:08:33,200 --> 01:08:35,960
Speaker 2: say this thing, but you're not you're not being honest.

1349
01:08:36,720 --> 01:08:41,439
Speaker 2: We have civilized government, We do wear these suits, We

1350
01:08:41,600 --> 01:08:46,320
Speaker 2: know how to do business. We are not savages. When

1351
01:08:46,320 --> 01:08:50,880
Speaker 2: the newspaper is making up rapes of women from black men,

1352
01:08:51,760 --> 01:08:56,320
Speaker 2: there is a impetus to be respectable quote unquote. As

1353
01:08:56,360 --> 01:08:59,760
Speaker 2: a revolution to the to the status quo to the

1354
01:09:00,240 --> 01:09:04,479
Speaker 2: that's being told about you. It's not so simple as

1355
01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:06,799
Speaker 2: just pull your pants up and you won't be killed.

1356
01:09:07,800 --> 01:09:08,000
Speaker 3: You know.

1357
01:09:08,160 --> 01:09:11,639
Speaker 2: It was y'all don't wear pants. It's like these look

1358
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:14,439
Speaker 2: at my finer y'all do wear pants then, and it's

1359
01:09:14,479 --> 01:09:17,840
Speaker 2: like we will, uh, you know, we wouldn't be so

1360
01:09:17,960 --> 01:09:20,040
Speaker 2: hard on y'all if y'all weren't this way.

1361
01:09:20,080 --> 01:09:22,000
Speaker 3: I still don't know that dude. I can't remember.

1362
01:09:22,080 --> 01:09:24,479
Speaker 2: His last name was Montgomery, the black dude that was

1363
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:26,559
Speaker 2: a Democrat at the time, this back when Democrats were

1364
01:09:26,560 --> 01:09:29,120
Speaker 2: the Republicans and Republicans or the Democrats, and he spoke

1365
01:09:29,160 --> 01:09:33,000
Speaker 2: at like the Democratic National Convention, I believe, and essentially

1366
01:09:33,040 --> 01:09:35,960
Speaker 2: it was like, yeah, so black people don't deserve rights.

1367
01:09:35,960 --> 01:09:37,800
Speaker 2: We're not as good as y'all. We're not as sophisticated

1368
01:09:37,840 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 2: as y'all. Y'all are better than us. We too savage

1369
01:09:40,680 --> 01:09:45,280
Speaker 2: blah and like hurt black people's calls so badly, you know.

1370
01:09:45,600 --> 01:09:48,519
Speaker 2: And this is the ship they were fighting against. This

1371
01:09:48,640 --> 01:09:50,640
Speaker 2: is ship Frederick Dougs is fighting against. This is the

1372
01:09:50,640 --> 01:09:54,040
Speaker 2: shit that, like I said, Oi be Wells is fighting against,

1373
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:57,639
Speaker 2: Like you have so many black people at the turn

1374
01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:01,200
Speaker 2: of the century, you know, Marria church Terrail like, you

1375
01:10:01,320 --> 01:10:02,400
Speaker 2: got people that are like.

1376
01:10:03,840 --> 01:10:05,479
Speaker 3: To us, we're like, oh, here's this.

1377
01:10:05,680 --> 01:10:07,760
Speaker 2: You know, many concept it'd be like a more of

1378
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 2: a light skinned person and shit sometimes because that would

1379
01:10:10,800 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 2: allow them access to ship that darker black people.

1380
01:10:13,920 --> 01:10:18,880
Speaker 3: Couldn't even gain, you know. But using that that that that.

1381
01:10:18,560 --> 01:10:21,519
Speaker 2: That influence and using that privilege to then help the

1382
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:26,280
Speaker 2: race and risking their lives doing so. You know, many

1383
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:28,599
Speaker 2: of these people, if it wasn't for their ability to pass,

1384
01:10:28,680 --> 01:10:32,360
Speaker 2: sometimes they wouldn't even be fucking We wouldn't know their

1385
01:10:32,439 --> 01:10:33,000
Speaker 2: names today.

1386
01:10:33,080 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 3: They just be dead, you know.

1387
01:10:35,200 --> 01:10:40,040
Speaker 2: But all of this stuff, all these strategies plusy versus ferguson,

1388
01:10:40,400 --> 01:10:43,120
Speaker 2: that's a strategy. It's not like it's always said as

1389
01:10:43,120 --> 01:10:45,599
Speaker 2: if it's just like when we learned about it in school,

1390
01:10:45,840 --> 01:10:48,599
Speaker 2: we always learned of it. It's like, yeah, it's just

1391
01:10:48,600 --> 01:10:50,880
Speaker 2: this incident that happened and then it led to segregation.

1392
01:10:50,960 --> 01:10:53,479
Speaker 2: It's like it wasn't a coincidence, the same way Rosa

1393
01:10:53,520 --> 01:10:55,800
Speaker 2: parks on that bus wasn't no coincidence. So this is

1394
01:10:55,840 --> 01:10:58,040
Speaker 2: one of the reason I like to read or listen

1395
01:10:58,080 --> 01:11:00,720
Speaker 2: and learn about this kind of shit, because I'm I'm

1396
01:11:00,760 --> 01:11:04,479
Speaker 2: always learning something I didn't know before, and it's always

1397
01:11:04,520 --> 01:11:07,960
Speaker 2: kind of given me a different perspective because from now on,

1398
01:11:08,160 --> 01:11:11,320
Speaker 2: I won't be talking about respectability politics that in that

1399
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:15,040
Speaker 2: kind of way. It's only a specific type that that

1400
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,000
Speaker 2: I think it makes people feel like, yo, this is

1401
01:11:18,040 --> 01:11:21,320
Speaker 2: fucked up right, Like if black people weren't acting this way,

1402
01:11:21,400 --> 01:11:22,400
Speaker 2: everything would be fine.

1403
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:26,719
Speaker 3: Obviously that's fucked up right, like duh.

1404
01:11:27,520 --> 01:11:31,880
Speaker 2: But when it's stuff like you know, black people was

1405
01:11:31,880 --> 01:11:35,080
Speaker 2: wearing suits like yeah, because at the time we were

1406
01:11:35,120 --> 01:11:37,200
Speaker 2: told it was you weren't supposed to be in that suit.

1407
01:11:37,920 --> 01:11:39,400
Speaker 3: That was the revolution at the time.

1408
01:11:40,439 --> 01:11:44,519
Speaker 2: You know, that was risking your life look looking too good,

1409
01:11:44,720 --> 01:11:49,000
Speaker 2: having too much, you know, being too refined, wanting too much.

1410
01:11:49,520 --> 01:11:51,680
Speaker 3: That was risking your life. They were killing people for

1411
01:11:51,720 --> 01:11:52,080
Speaker 3: that shit.

1412
01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,960
Speaker 2: So that was the main thing I took away from

1413
01:11:56,400 --> 01:11:58,800
Speaker 2: this documentary that that was a different perspective than I

1414
01:11:58,840 --> 01:11:59,439
Speaker 2: walked in with.

1415
01:11:59,640 --> 01:12:02,720
Speaker 3: Was like, yeah, the catch all that.

1416
01:12:02,760 --> 01:12:06,639
Speaker 2: Is respectability politics on Twitter and social it's not really

1417
01:12:06,760 --> 01:12:09,360
Speaker 2: the catch all that people think it is. You know,

1418
01:12:09,520 --> 01:12:14,280
Speaker 2: it's a little too loose of a definition, because I

1419
01:12:14,400 --> 01:12:18,040
Speaker 2: be goddamned if I'm gonna look I to w wells

1420
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:21,200
Speaker 2: in the eyes and be like, yeah, that respectability politics sists,

1421
01:12:21,400 --> 01:12:25,480
Speaker 2: Like nah, nah, she was risking her life reporting on lynchings.

1422
01:12:25,840 --> 01:12:28,920
Speaker 2: She was, she was risking she got driven out of

1423
01:12:28,960 --> 01:12:33,360
Speaker 2: Memphis at you know, under threat of violence, like you know,

1424
01:12:33,520 --> 01:12:36,599
Speaker 2: let alone, like all these black women that were being

1425
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:43,360
Speaker 2: sexually assaulted, constricted labor, prison labor. You know, these type

1426
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:46,440
Speaker 2: of things are basically just new versus of slavery, sharecropping,

1427
01:12:46,920 --> 01:12:49,679
Speaker 2: people making a mass exodus to the North to only

1428
01:12:49,720 --> 01:12:55,120
Speaker 2: be faced with redlining and more racism. We have tried everything,

1429
01:12:56,680 --> 01:13:00,240
Speaker 2: and I don't think we get enough credit for the

1430
01:13:00,439 --> 01:13:05,920
Speaker 2: ingenuity and the pressure and just the goddamn impossibility of

1431
01:13:06,080 --> 01:13:10,240
Speaker 2: white supremacy that we are up against. Man, we are

1432
01:13:10,280 --> 01:13:14,360
Speaker 2: a little too hard on ourselves at times because we

1433
01:13:14,360 --> 01:13:16,559
Speaker 2: didn't quote unquote make it as if the game ain't

1434
01:13:16,640 --> 01:13:18,840
Speaker 2: rigged on all of us.

1435
01:13:18,880 --> 01:13:19,120
Speaker 3: You know.

1436
01:13:19,760 --> 01:13:23,280
Speaker 2: So it's one of the times when I hear, like,

1437
01:13:23,680 --> 01:13:26,439
Speaker 2: when I hear stuff yeah even without the Internet. That's

1438
01:13:26,479 --> 01:13:28,960
Speaker 2: a good point, Jim, is that that those times when

1439
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:31,400
Speaker 2: I hear people like kind of come at like activists

1440
01:13:31,400 --> 01:13:36,320
Speaker 2: sometimes or come at people for trying something different or

1441
01:13:36,360 --> 01:13:38,599
Speaker 2: doing it a different way. And I always kind of go. Yeah,

1442
01:13:38,640 --> 01:13:42,320
Speaker 2: but they trying something, they're doing something like it might

1443
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:44,160
Speaker 2: not work, it might do. I mean, none of this

1444
01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:46,000
Speaker 2: shit has worked. I don't know if you noticed, none

1445
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:49,320
Speaker 2: of us are really free. They can kill my black

1446
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:54,040
Speaker 2: ass tonight. The police can just extra judicial carriage or

1447
01:13:54,160 --> 01:13:56,600
Speaker 2: justice and just fucking kill me, and now it'll be

1448
01:13:56,680 --> 01:14:00,000
Speaker 2: on the news tonight as this nigga deserve to doubt somehow,

1449
01:14:00,840 --> 01:14:04,479
Speaker 2: somebody just got killed in Charlotte, Like none of us

1450
01:14:04,520 --> 01:14:07,720
Speaker 2: have gotten over that mountaintop yet, really, you know, And

1451
01:14:07,800 --> 01:14:10,240
Speaker 2: we made so much progress in this country. But it's

1452
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:13,719
Speaker 2: because of that fight, that ingenuity, the ability to try

1453
01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:17,439
Speaker 2: other things, to never be you know, to never let

1454
01:14:17,439 --> 01:14:19,680
Speaker 2: it be caughting off and killed, you know. And the

1455
01:14:19,720 --> 01:14:21,720
Speaker 2: only thing that we really get left with out of

1456
01:14:21,760 --> 01:14:25,640
Speaker 2: it is like the hope for for unity, for some

1457
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:30,479
Speaker 2: copy of equality one day. So yeah, I hope everybody

1458
01:14:30,479 --> 01:14:32,920
Speaker 2: can be a little more gentle with each other and

1459
01:14:33,080 --> 01:14:35,280
Speaker 2: learn some history. Man, if you don't already know this shit,

1460
01:14:35,800 --> 01:14:37,640
Speaker 2: you know, learn learn it and then maybe you'll be

1461
01:14:37,680 --> 01:14:40,600
Speaker 2: more gentle on people and less let me pounce on

1462
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,360
Speaker 2: the next person that says the wrong thing or try

1463
01:14:43,439 --> 01:14:46,240
Speaker 2: something I wouldn't try because that that that shit is

1464
01:14:46,320 --> 01:14:48,280
Speaker 2: just I mean, it's been forever and it's human, but

1465
01:14:48,280 --> 01:14:50,360
Speaker 2: it's just so kind of productive.

1466
01:14:50,360 --> 01:14:52,000
Speaker 3: There's nothing really to gain from it.

1467
01:14:52,280 --> 01:14:59,479
Speaker 2: So uh, anyway, no fucking with black people today. Matter

1468
01:14:59,479 --> 01:15:03,400
Speaker 2: of fact, let's do some guests the race and get

1469
01:15:03,479 --> 01:15:04,040
Speaker 2: right into that.

1470
01:15:06,240 --> 01:15:07,200
Speaker 3: What's my guest race?

1471
01:15:07,400 --> 01:15:07,559
Speaker 8: Is it?

1472
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:08,400
Speaker 3: Here we go.

1473
01:15:11,439 --> 01:15:13,160
Speaker 4: For some guest stor race.

1474
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:15,759
Speaker 3: That's right, it's guest the race.

1475
01:15:15,840 --> 01:15:16,120
Speaker 8: Time.

1476
01:15:17,840 --> 01:15:20,799
Speaker 4: Now that it is time for some guest story race.

1477
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:23,800

1478
01:15:25,960 --> 01:15:29,679
Speaker 2: That's right, it's time for guests the Race. The number

1479
01:15:29,680 --> 01:15:31,479
Speaker 2: one game show going across all the podcasts. Man, we

1480
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:33,559
Speaker 2: read the play news argles from all over the globe,

1481
01:15:33,760 --> 01:15:36,639
Speaker 2: and we asked our contestants today Karen and the chat

1482
01:15:36,720 --> 01:15:41,360
Speaker 2: room to guess the race. And of course everyone playing

1483
01:15:41,600 --> 01:15:47,559
Speaker 2: is absolutely racist. That's why we the real racist. I

1484
01:15:47,560 --> 01:15:50,840
Speaker 2: think that's what I if we started in different podcasts

1485
01:15:50,920 --> 01:15:52,760
Speaker 2: or new podcast I think that's what I would call it,

1486
01:15:52,840 --> 01:15:56,480
Speaker 2: the real racist instead of the blackout tips.

1487
01:15:57,439 --> 01:15:59,400
Speaker 3: Uh, because we already think we're the real racist.

1488
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:06,240
Speaker 4: They do. We started as fall as Decker, sir. First racism.

1489
01:16:06,360 --> 01:16:08,200
Speaker 3: It's that's y'all, the real racist.

1490
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:11,240
Speaker 4: Weird one is really oppressed. What y'all complaining about?

1491
01:16:12,439 --> 01:16:13,800
Speaker 3: You been looking for him?

1492
01:16:14,200 --> 01:16:14,360
Speaker 5: Uh?

1493
01:16:14,439 --> 01:16:18,800
Speaker 2: The Easter Bunny in downtown Orlando fights had a fight

1494
01:16:19,600 --> 01:16:23,439
Speaker 2: and it was caught on camera, and so they caught

1495
01:16:23,520 --> 01:16:28,439
Speaker 2: up with the easter bunny, yeah, and had him explain

1496
01:16:28,880 --> 01:16:31,760
Speaker 2: exactly why he.

1497
01:16:33,360 --> 01:16:35,080
Speaker 3: Went put the hands.

1498
01:16:35,160 --> 01:16:36,839
Speaker 4: So he was hading more than them eggs.

1499
01:16:37,600 --> 01:16:39,639
Speaker 3: I guess he was. He was hiding more of them eggs,

1500
01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:43,360
Speaker 3: that's true. Care It sounds to me like maybe he

1501
01:16:43,439 --> 01:16:54,880
Speaker 3: had a hair trigger temper. But yeah, they caught up.

1502
01:16:57,439 --> 01:16:59,280
Speaker 4: I guess he hippie hopped on that man.

Speaker 2: His real name is Antoine McDonald and interviewed him about

1507
01:17:26,120 --> 01:17:28,240

01:17:28,320 --> 01:17:30,320
Speaker 2: video on here if I can get it to play.

1509

1525
01:18:24,240 --> 01:18:27,080
Speaker 7: a Sunday Funday here in downtown Orlando yesterday. It was

1526
01:18:27,160 --> 01:18:29,559
Speaker 7: Easter Sunday, so why not bring out the bunny outfit.

1527
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:31,519
Speaker 7: He said, he and his friends were bar hopping. They

1528
01:18:31,560 --> 01:18:33,599
Speaker 7: were going from one to the other when he actually

1529
01:18:33,600 --> 01:18:36,440
Speaker 7: saw a man here along the street, he said.

1530
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:37,080
Speaker 4: Spit on a woman.

1531
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:39,080
Speaker 7: He said he wasn't going to just stand by and

1532
01:18:39,200 --> 01:18:40,120
Speaker 7: let that happen.

1533
01:18:40,439 --> 01:18:44,320
Speaker 2: On spitting on a woman, I would have been hopping

1534
01:18:44,320 --> 01:18:55,120
Speaker 2: mad myself. Oh sorry, I didn't mean to do that.

1535
01:18:55,200 --> 01:18:56,599
Speaker 3: Guys, this.

1536
01:19:01,600 --> 01:19:05,280
Speaker 7: Downtown Orlando has seen a lot, but this may be

1537
01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,960
Speaker 7: a first.

1538
01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:09,479
Speaker 10: The guy was just basically I don't know if he

1539
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:11,920
Speaker 10: was bullying or what. So then I see him spit

1540
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:14,040
Speaker 10: on her and she starts hitting him and everything to

1541
01:19:14,080 --> 01:19:14,799
Speaker 10: get some laughs.

1542
01:19:14,880 --> 01:19:18,000
Speaker 7: Antoine McDonald and his friends took their traveling Bunny suit

1543
01:19:18,120 --> 01:19:20,840
Speaker 7: downtown yesterday. They had just left one bar and we're

1544
01:19:20,840 --> 01:19:23,120
Speaker 7: about to go into another when he says he saw

1545
01:19:23,160 --> 01:19:24,200
Speaker 7: everything unfold.

Speaker 2: Rossi Lorothio Adams, the second, twenty six years old of

1713
01:28:46,320 --> 01:28:51,639
Speaker 2: state Snaps, was found guilty of charges last week. According

1714
01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:55,040
Speaker 2: to the Justice Department, State snaps features videos of women

1715
01:28:55,120 --> 01:28:59,320
Speaker 2: in thongs and bikinis partying it up in college with

1716
01:28:59,400 --> 01:29:03,360
Speaker 2: one point five five million viewers followers. State snaps urges

1717
01:29:03,400 --> 01:29:07,400
Speaker 2: people to snapshots and post on the site to the

1718
01:29:07,840 --> 01:29:13,200
Speaker 2: under the catchphrase do it for State. According to Washington Post,

1719
01:29:13,240 --> 01:29:15,960
Speaker 2: the incident began in June twenty fifteen after Adams went

1720
01:29:15,960 --> 01:29:18,320
Speaker 2: to the Cedar Rapids home of the victim listed in

1721
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:21,120
Speaker 2: court follins as Ed to request that he sell the

1722
01:29:21,160 --> 01:29:25,439
Speaker 2: domain name do it for State dot Com. Adam's own

1723
01:29:25,600 --> 01:29:29,639
Speaker 2: do it for State number four, but not the for

1724
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:32,320
Speaker 2: but he felt he needed the other name as well,

1725
01:29:32,360 --> 01:29:35,719
Speaker 2: so he found an address for Ed through GoDaddy's listing

1726
01:29:35,840 --> 01:29:38,840
Speaker 2: and showed up uninvited to the domain owner's home. Once there,

1727
01:29:39,360 --> 01:29:42,240
Speaker 2: Adam informed Ed that he wanted to buyther do it

1728
01:29:42,280 --> 01:29:45,080
Speaker 2: for state domain, but Ed said it was not for sale.

1729
01:29:46,439 --> 01:29:49,000
Speaker 2: From that point on, court documents say Adams continued to

1730
01:29:49,040 --> 01:29:51,400
Speaker 2: pressure Ed to sell the site. At one point Ed

1731
01:29:51,600 --> 01:29:54,080
Speaker 2: said he would sell it for twenty thousand dollars, but

1732
01:29:54,120 --> 01:29:56,519
Speaker 2: Adams thought that amount was too high. When Adams sent

1733
01:29:56,880 --> 01:29:59,920
Speaker 2: one of Ed's friends a message with a gun mo

1734
01:30:00,400 --> 01:30:04,479
Speaker 2: prosecutors were oh. So then he sent a his one

1735
01:30:04,520 --> 01:30:08,439
Speaker 2: of the guy's friends who had the domain, a message

1736
01:30:08,439 --> 01:30:12,800
Speaker 2: with a gun emoji. In May twenty seventeen, this is

1737
01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:16,439
Speaker 2: now like two years later, Adams went again to Ed's house.

1738
01:30:16,520 --> 01:30:20,640
Speaker 2: When his brother asked the door, Adams simultane it simulated

1739
01:30:21,600 --> 01:30:24,320
Speaker 2: punching by punching his fist into his hand before stating,

1740
01:30:24,760 --> 01:30:27,880
Speaker 2: I'm here for the name. Whatever it takes, I'm not

1741
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,880
Speaker 2: leaving without it. So he shut up like full force

1742
01:30:31,960 --> 01:30:35,840
Speaker 2: in house. Party still didn't get the domain name. Finally,

1743
01:30:35,840 --> 01:30:38,439
Speaker 2: in June twenty seventeen or four, two years after this started,

1744
01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:41,839
Speaker 2: Adams orchestrated an incident at Ed's house. They turned bloody

1745
01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:47,000
Speaker 2: over a fucking domain name. Adams enlisted the help of

1746
01:30:47,040 --> 01:30:50,720
Speaker 2: his cousin, Sherman Hopkins Junior, a felon to help him

1747
01:30:50,760 --> 01:30:53,280
Speaker 2: get the website domain. Adams is charged of giving Hopkins

1748
01:30:53,320 --> 01:30:55,920
Speaker 2: a stolen gun, a taser, and written instructures to get

1749
01:30:56,400 --> 01:30:58,840
Speaker 2: e J They put it in this one okay.

01:30:58,880 --> 01:31:01,760
Speaker 3: To transfer the domain name into Adam's go Daddy.

1751
01:31:01,479 --> 01:31:05,680
Speaker 2: Account, Hopkins broke into Ed's house using pantyhold, sunglasses, and

1752
01:31:05,680 --> 01:31:09,040
Speaker 2: a hat to obsecure his face. Hopkins Hopkins busted down

Speaker 2: whipping him and using the taser and threatening to further

1756
01:31:16,920 --> 01:31:19,840
Speaker 2: harm him if he notified police. The two men got

1757
01:31:19,840 --> 01:31:22,400
Speaker 2: into a tussle, and ed twisted the gun from Hopkins

1758
01:31:22,479 --> 01:31:25,040
Speaker 2: and shot him several times in the chest before calling
