Everything 67 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 3: would have been fine, but these fucking women had to 68 00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 3: come along with their let's go on to day and 69 00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,320 Speaker 3: their you know why the men have to sign up 70 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 3: for the army and all that. 71 00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:49,640 Speaker 2: And then you look at it and you go, women 72 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 2: didn't do that. 73 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,760 Speaker 5: I know, we didn't create the rules or anything. 74 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 2: Women didn't create this. 75 00:03:53,880 --> 00:03:57,040 Speaker 3: Women are navigating this system of oppression and then you 76 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 3: somehow have turned it. 77 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,560 Speaker 2: Into look what they do to us.

Black people didn't walk around and say, 81 00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 3: let's start an old boy network of letting black people 82 00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:18,200 Speaker 3: in that are underqualified. White people always have done that. 83 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 3: It always has been that way. Hey, I run into college, 84 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 3: I go to your church, come on. 85 00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 2: In, you know. 86 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: And then when black people create something to get equal footing, 87 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 3: it becomes incitious, and white people are suing schools and 88 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,680 Speaker 3: suing jobs and saying, why this is unfair to me, 89 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,800 Speaker 3: the white person, right? And so the supremacists, we know, right, 90 00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:43,960 Speaker 3: they DEMI God the people that they are of targeting. 91 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:48,360 Speaker 3: You become evil, you become unfeeling because the only way 92 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,840 Speaker 3: that I can dehumanize you. 93 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,200 Speaker 2: And never feel bad and never feel that. 94 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: And to onlookers, I can always make this argument of 95 00:04:56,640 --> 00:05:00,440 Speaker 3: you deserve it. Okay, black people weren't so bad feel 96 00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:02,640 Speaker 3: this way. You know, if women weren't so bad. 97 00:05:02,640 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 2: That's so so devious. 98 00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:06,080 Speaker 3: I wouldn't have to act like this. You know, it's 99 00:05:06,120 --> 00:05:09,839 Speaker 3: always their fault. That's one thing I think everyone agrees on. 100 00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 3: Everyone can see that. What people don't always agree on. 101 00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:17,720 Speaker 3: What people don't often see is how traumatized people often 102 00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 3: mirrors the same behaviors, and often because we haven't dealt 103 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 3: with our own traumas. Right, Like when you're a traumatized 104 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,279 Speaker 3: person and you get into a situation where you're triggered, 105 00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 3: you get into a situation where you feel unsafe, where 106 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:34,840 Speaker 3: you even just start feeling like, you know, unsure, Like 107 00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,400 Speaker 3: it doesn't even have to get all the way to 108 00:05:36,480 --> 00:05:40,240 Speaker 3: like some type of an attack. Just I need safety 109 00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 3: all the time around me. And then we use our 110 00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,560 Speaker 3: you know, control quote unquote to try to make safety 111 00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:48,919 Speaker 3: where it really can't be safe. 112 00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,320 Speaker 2: Human beings can't be safe. 113 00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 3: Is that all X factors? Life is not safe? It's 114 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: all you know, it's too many variables. 115 00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:56,280 Speaker 2: In life to be safe. 116 00:05:56,320 --> 00:05:56,479 Speaker 5: You know. 117 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:00,000 Speaker 3: As much as I love that people feel safe around 118 00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 3: us and are showing stuff, I never promote the show 119 00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:04,680 Speaker 3: that way because I don't feel comfortable making a promise. 120 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,600 Speaker 3: I can't keep right, and I feel like a lot 121 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:10,040 Speaker 3: of people are selling folks pipe dream Yeah, it's selling 122 00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:12,840 Speaker 3: you a pipe dreaming. We created a safe space, and 123 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:14,600 Speaker 3: it's like, you. 124 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:15,359 Speaker 2: Gotta get lucky. 125 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,279 Speaker 3: Some people are pieces of shit and we'll just infiltrate 126 00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,400 Speaker 3: and use that and it's really not much you can 127 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:22,680 Speaker 3: do about it. You can try to be vigilant, but 128 00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,840 Speaker 3: you just never fucking know. And then also, people are 129 00:06:24,839 --> 00:06:25,920 Speaker 3: gonna have conflict. 130 00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:27,600 Speaker 2: Within spaces, and. 131 00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:30,279 Speaker 3: How they resolve that conflict is not necessarily something you 132 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,080 Speaker 3: can control. It feels that way when you have a 133 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,920 Speaker 3: smaller audience and a smaller footprint, the bigger it grows, 134 00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:38,360 Speaker 3: the more you realize. 135 00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,279 Speaker 2: That's an illusion. It never was safe anyway. 136 00:06:41,480 --> 00:06:43,400 Speaker 3: That's not to say we caught some dangerous space so 137 00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 3: we promote some type of you know, trolling or that's 138 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:48,120 Speaker 3: not what we do. 139 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 4: But people are always an X factor and you can't 140 00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:51,160 Speaker 4: control human beings. 141 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,040 Speaker 3: I don't know all these niggas, you know, And so anyway, 142 00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 3: the point being traumatize people often, especially if they get 143 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:02,040 Speaker 3: in positions of power or leadership or something. They often 144 00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,960 Speaker 3: can use the same tactics as these supremacists. Hey, we're 145 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: ostracizing this person. Hey we're harassing this person. Hey, this 146 00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 3: person doesn't have feelings. We can dehumanize them. They're a monster, 147 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:18,280 Speaker 3: they're an abuser, they're this, and then everything we do 148 00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 3: after that becomes justified, whether it's true or not. You know, 149 00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 3: the same way supremacists don't like to be questioned. Traumatized 150 00:07:25,120 --> 00:07:27,640 Speaker 3: people don't like to be questioned. You know, if you go, hey, 151 00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 3: you know, I hear what you're saying, but you're saying 152 00:07:31,800 --> 00:07:33,720 Speaker 3: this person just on the horrible Can you kind of 153 00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,520 Speaker 3: like explain? Why do I have to explain? Why don't 154 00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:38,760 Speaker 3: you just believe me? Well, see, this is the problem. 155 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,680 Speaker 3: Now you're part of the bad guy. Now you need 156 00:07:40,720 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 3: to go. And that type of thing is something I 157 00:07:43,960 --> 00:07:46,080 Speaker 3: think people don't really consider us. I had to have 158 00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 3: my eyes kind of woken up to that because it 159 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 3: never really felt right. But seeing it take place, especially online, 160 00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:56,840 Speaker 3: you're like, wait a minute, this isn't this isn't necessarily justice. 161 00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,880 Speaker 3: It might not be like it might be better than 162 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,760 Speaker 3: the alternative, right, this thing where people go around and 163 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:07,360 Speaker 3: do horrible shit, nobody calls them on it. It's better 164 00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,520 Speaker 3: than that, obviously, that's I don't know how you want 165 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 3: to argue that it's not. But it's not better than 166 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:19,840 Speaker 3: actual like truth and justice and nuance and gray and 167 00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 3: all that. 168 00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:21,520 Speaker 2: It's not better than that, you know. 169 00:08:21,560 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 3: And I think it's interesting because every person is entitled 170 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 3: to their own story.

They have a huge 269 00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:07,280 Speaker 4: investment of years or months or however long they've been invested. 270 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,959 Speaker 4: So this thing is highly important on on their list 271 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:13,880 Speaker 4: versus everybody else. You don't give a fuck about it, 272 00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:18,080 Speaker 4: even if you are are the group that they're targeting after. 273 00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,760 Speaker 4: Why if you're a moginalized group, you get used to 274 00:13:20,800 --> 00:13:23,240 Speaker 4: being targeted. You just get used to the ship and 275 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:25,640 Speaker 4: it is not always on your top priority list. Why 276 00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,920 Speaker 4: because you have to fucking live life. I can't live 277 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,320 Speaker 4: my life twenty four seven, Always on alert, on you. Yes, 278 00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:34,240 Speaker 4: I'm aware, but but but but you can't be my 279 00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:37,480 Speaker 4: top priority. But for them, it's the top priority. So 280 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:42,280 Speaker 4: they don't care about wasting your time because as far 281 00:13:42,320 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 4: as their they're concerned, that's time well spent. But for you, 282 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:49,080 Speaker 4: it is a waste of time because everybody people don't 283 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:52,160 Speaker 4: mind wasting other people's time, but nobody wants their time wasted. 284 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:54,880 Speaker 5: And so you know, for me. 285 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,000 Speaker 4: The way I look at it, both of these groups 286 00:13:58,360 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 4: a lot of times they don't see the other person's 287 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:04,800 Speaker 4: humanity and they don't want to take ownership of their actions. 288 00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,080 Speaker 4: Those things go hand in hand because if I have 289 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,280 Speaker 4: to see the humanity in you, that means my perspective 290 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:14,839 Speaker 4: has got to change. And if I take ownership in 291 00:14:14,880 --> 00:14:18,320 Speaker 4: my actions, that means my perspective has got to change. 292 00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,520 Speaker 4: I have to release something, I have to give up something, 293 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 4: I have. 294 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,160 Speaker 5: To change the way I look. 295 00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 4: I have to see you as a whole human being 296 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,760 Speaker 4: as I see myself. 297 00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,440 Speaker 5: But I can't do that. And so since I can't. 298 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,960 Speaker 4: Do that, I use these tactics to distract from the 299 00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:44,280 Speaker 4: fact that I'm hurting, from the fact that I. 300 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:43,320 Speaker 5: Think I'm better than you. 301 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 4: So I use these tactics to actually get you to 302 00:14:47,000 --> 00:14:49,480 Speaker 4: the point to where we're all tied up and entangled 303 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,200 Speaker 4: in this together. So just like my time is wasted, 304 00:14:52,280 --> 00:14:55,320 Speaker 4: your time is wasted. Just like I'm not accomplishing anything 305 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,800 Speaker 4: in life, you're not accomplishing a life. 306 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 5: And a lot of times these tactics are used to. 307 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,680 Speaker 4: Get you off whatever your focus is in life, you know, 308 00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,680 Speaker 4: And so a lot of times, uh, it's it's a 309 00:15:10,720 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 4: balance to that because sometimes yes, you have to look 310 00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 4: and you have to address it, depend on the situations. 311 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:20,120 Speaker 4: But majority of the time, if you ignore them, they're 312 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,160 Speaker 4: gonna move on to other targets, because this is the 313 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,560 Speaker 4: ship they do all the time, the. 314 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:26,000 Speaker 5: Squirrel, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel, squirrel. 315 00:15:25,720 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 4: And eventually they might make that way back around to 316 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:30,600 Speaker 4: you and then the squirrel, squirrel, squirrel. They have very 317 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,400 Speaker 4: very short attention span, and at the end of the day, 318 00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 4: they want your attention, and once they get your attention, 319 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,600 Speaker 4: they want all attention on them. A lot of these 320 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,600 Speaker 4: people are narcissists, and and and and then and if 321 00:15:41,640 --> 00:15:46,600 Speaker 4: you understand these people and how they respond, everything has 322 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 4: got to be about them. White supremacists, everything has got 323 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,960 Speaker 4: to be about them, you know. People that that that 324 00:15:53,040 --> 00:15:55,360 Speaker 4: I hurt, everything has got to be about them. And 325 00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,840 Speaker 4: I understand hurt is real, and I understand pain is real. 326 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:03,000 Speaker 4: But you can't take your hurt and pain and punish 327 00:16:03,240 --> 00:16:06,600 Speaker 4: everybody around you because you're hurt and you're in pain. 328 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 4: Everybody has been through something. Everybody. You are not special 329 00:16:12,640 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 4: when it comes to hurt and pain. What do you 330 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 4: do with your hurt and pain? How do you fix 331 00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 4: your hurt and pain? How do you heal from your 332 00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 4: hurt and pain? Those are the questions you should be asking, 333 00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,000 Speaker 4: But those questions are very hard to ask when you're 334 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000 Speaker 4: in the midst of it and you allow yourself to 335 00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:29,640 Speaker 4: be swallowed by your hurt and pain till you push 336 00:16:29,680 --> 00:16:32,440 Speaker 4: everybody and everyone around you and you find a group 337 00:16:32,520 --> 00:16:35,520 Speaker 4: that tells you your action and your behavior is okay, 338 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,200 Speaker 4: when sometimes in reality, it is not. 339 00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:37,880 Speaker 2: Yeah. 340 00:16:37,920 --> 00:16:41,560 Speaker 3: I think also because I just always want to clarify 341 00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,200 Speaker 3: every time I read from this book, because there's two 342 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 3: things I think people forget. But when we're talking about trauma, 343 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,560 Speaker 3: we're talking about unresolved, right, people who live in that 344 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 3: trauma that have not You know, many times people don't 345 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 3: work to resolve it, or you think you're okay and 346 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 3: you're not. You know, things that people call triggers, which 347 00:16:58,640 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 3: are real things. I think they you know, they exist, 348 00:17:01,160 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 3: but the trigger and the trigger point actually point to 349 00:17:04,560 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 3: something inside you. Yes, you know, it doesn't always point 350 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 3: to the outside world a lot of because you can't 351 00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:11,760 Speaker 3: make a world that has no triggers. You can't live 352 00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 3: a life where you never experience anything that makes you. 353 00:17:15,160 --> 00:17:17,639 Speaker 2: Feel an emotion you don't want to feel. 354 00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,800 Speaker 3: But the unresolved part of it is how you, like, 355 00:17:21,840 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 3: how do you handle that? 356 00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 2: What do you spiral? Do you lose it all or 357 00:17:26,640 --> 00:17:27,920 Speaker 2: do you lash out? 358 00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,879 Speaker 3: You know that that type of thing is what you 359 00:17:29,920 --> 00:17:33,280 Speaker 3: can control, and so resolving those conflicts within yourself, those 360 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,359 Speaker 3: trauma the effects of that trauma is so important. So 361 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:38,439 Speaker 3: this book talks about a lot about people that have 362 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:41,920 Speaker 3: experienced trauma but not moved on and not been able 363 00:17:41,920 --> 00:17:42,639 Speaker 3: to resolve it. 364 00:17:42,720 --> 00:17:43,440 Speaker 2: So that's one thing. 365 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 3: The second thing is conflict is essentially differences of opinion 366 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 3: or you know. But it's not saying conflict is in 367 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:56,600 Speaker 3: like I'm racist. Let's if you're black and you have 368 00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 3: a problem with that, you don't know how to handle 369 00:17:58,840 --> 00:18:01,359 Speaker 3: conflict Like, that's not what is saying so, like, I 370 00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,439 Speaker 3: just always want to clarify because I think, you know, 371 00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:06,320 Speaker 3: one of the issues I had had with the book 372 00:18:06,359 --> 00:18:08,879 Speaker 3: when I first read it was that I literally was 373 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:10,400 Speaker 3: so deep down that rabbit hole. 374 00:18:10,240 --> 00:18:12,920 Speaker 2: I couldn't even understand those two givings. 375 00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 3: Like I had to go back and reread the beginning 376 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 3: of the book to be like, oh, yeah, I guess 377 00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,159 Speaker 3: she did address that. The rest of the book is 378 00:18:19,160 --> 00:18:22,080 Speaker 3: going to talk about conflict, but it's not saying these 379 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,199 Speaker 3: irredeemable moments and situations, but it's talking about you know, 380 00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:30,879 Speaker 3: human disappointment, human letdown, human disagreement, things not rooted in 381 00:18:31,240 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 3: you know, supremacy. Like she's not saying, here's how to 382 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:35,159 Speaker 3: get along with white supremacist. 383 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:40,080 Speaker 2: No. So anyway, but yeah, I agree with everything he said, 384 00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,640 Speaker 2: And I think it's just so. 385 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 3: Interesting to see how people we're at this cross point 386 00:18:48,520 --> 00:18:53,280 Speaker 3: where it literally, especially with the internet, trauma and then 387 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 3: supremacy are both at a fucking peak of being able 388 00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:02,879 Speaker 3: to find company on line and then use the same 389 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:06,640 Speaker 3: tactics on people. And it's been interesting to look at 390 00:19:06,680 --> 00:19:09,359 Speaker 3: it that way in the last few years, to be 391 00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:14,680 Speaker 3: like wow, like, like this person's trauma when they would 392 00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:15,959 Speaker 3: and found a group of people. 393 00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,359 Speaker 2: They all doing this stuff together. It doesn't really matter 394 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,280 Speaker 2: like who believes who whatever. It is, just we are 395 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:23,119 Speaker 2: in the community. 396 00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,400 Speaker 3: Now we have to roll out, you know, we're doing whatever, 397 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 3: you know, whatever this gang leader says, and the same 398 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,760 Speaker 3: thing with that supremacy man, you know. And then when 399 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 3: you're throwing the factors, we'll be able to monetize it. 400 00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:38,040 Speaker 5: Like yeah, that takes it to a whole lot of 401 00:19:38,240 --> 00:19:40,200 Speaker 5: lot of incentive and you're. 402 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:44,120 Speaker 4: Rewarded for that behavior, rewarded financially for that behavior. 403 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,920 Speaker 5: So why would you change when the Internet. 404 00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 4: Tells you that this is this behavior is okay, when 405 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:54,760 Speaker 4: in reality it is not. Because normally, prior to the Internet, 406 00:19:55,000 --> 00:19:57,680 Speaker 4: these people not that they wouldn't have found a collected group. 407 00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 5: You'd have had a limited amount of. 408 00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,240 Speaker 4: People in your group, and you would have had I'm 409 00:20:03,280 --> 00:20:06,280 Speaker 4: assuming more people to kind of be like, hey, you know, 410 00:20:06,640 --> 00:20:08,840 Speaker 4: here's the thing, like people to kind of lead you 411 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:09,359 Speaker 4: and guide you a. 412 00:20:09,359 --> 00:20:11,879 Speaker 3: Different The problem that's seem to happen before this is 413 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:15,159 Speaker 3: that people weren't believing folks. And then you add no 414 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,479 Speaker 3: outlet to go, hey, this is what happened to me. 415 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 3: I was able to know. It was like go away, no, no, no, 416 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 3: you're lying. It's your fault whatever happened. And then you know, 417 00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:29,360 Speaker 3: at some point, you know, you do cross a threshold 418 00:20:29,359 --> 00:20:33,040 Speaker 3: where it's like here's some tools where you you know, 419 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:34,440 Speaker 3: you're getting the word out. 420 00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 2: People are believing people. 421 00:20:35,760 --> 00:20:38,159 Speaker 3: Now people are able to get that evidence or at 422 00:20:38,240 --> 00:20:41,360 Speaker 3: least that other side of the story, especially against powerful figures, 423 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,000 Speaker 3: and those things. 424 00:20:42,800 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 2: Need to be out there. 425 00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:48,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, and then, like anything, because people are human, I 426 00:20:48,119 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 3: think we have people that exploit both sides of that system. Now. 427 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,240 Speaker 3: You know, once it used to just everything was exploited 428 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:59,640 Speaker 3: by one side, which was a powerful person basically going 429 00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 3: at uh someone not powerful and abusing that power.

So I am from Philly and 1368 01:05:45,040 --> 01:05:48,280 Speaker 3: I am a proud Temple alumni. I saw you retweet 1369 01:05:48,320 --> 01:05:52,080 Speaker 3: the video on Monday showing the line this past Friday 1370 01:05:52,120 --> 01:05:56,280 Speaker 3: and Saturday. It's hard to describe, but the Liah Chorus 1371 01:05:56,280 --> 01:06:00,360 Speaker 3: Center is the sporting arena for Temple, with which is 1372 01:06:01,560 --> 01:06:03,400 Speaker 3: literally occupies an entire city block. 1373 01:06:03,560 --> 01:06:04,240 Speaker 2: Is huge. 1374 01:06:04,400 --> 01:06:05,880 Speaker 3: I drove out to see if I could get a 1375 01:06:05,880 --> 01:06:08,000 Speaker 3: family member of the vaccine, thinking well, if it wasn't 1376 01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,360 Speaker 3: too bad, if they came back at two am, they may. 1377 01:06:10,200 --> 01:06:12,920 Speaker 2: Be able to get a shot. It was excuse me, 1378 01:06:12,960 --> 01:06:14,880 Speaker 2: it was crazy how many people showed up. 1379 01:06:15,600 --> 01:06:18,320 Speaker 3: The line went around several times and it looks like 1380 01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:21,040 Speaker 3: they did even have several hundred people inside at the 1381 01:06:21,080 --> 01:06:24,200 Speaker 3: town So that was a node to getting getting in there. 1382 01:06:25,440 --> 01:06:27,840 Speaker 3: It confirms to me what I've been thinking. There's a 1383 01:06:27,880 --> 01:06:29,680 Speaker 3: smaller contingent of vaccine. 1384 01:06:29,240 --> 01:06:30,280 Speaker 2: Has been black people. 1385 01:06:30,600 --> 01:06:33,480 Speaker 3: There's a huge unmet need, which has to do with 1386 01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:36,840 Speaker 3: supply and access to the folks who do want the vaccine. 1387 01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:40,920 Speaker 3: I think this encourages provider bias too. We won't offer 1388 01:06:41,000 --> 01:06:43,480 Speaker 3: it because all these people are saying black people don't 1389 01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:43,800 Speaker 3: want it. 1390 01:06:43,880 --> 01:06:46,920 Speaker 2: Let me just hook my white patients up. Part of this. 1391 01:06:46,920 --> 01:06:49,560 Speaker 3: Feels like similar to propaganda that is used by many 1392 01:06:49,600 --> 01:06:55,160 Speaker 3: to absolve responsibility and perpetuate an inequitable status quo. Generally speaking, 1393 01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:58,240 Speaker 3: PA has not done well with vaccine supply unless you 1394 01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:01,520 Speaker 3: work in a hospital a neighbor. County, which has pockets 1395 01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:04,800 Speaker 3: of low income but it's generally well resourced, used used 1396 01:07:04,840 --> 01:07:07,200 Speaker 3: to be red, but has been trending blue in pockets 1397 01:07:07,240 --> 01:07:10,280 Speaker 3: and went blue the last few elections. Montgomery County has 1398 01:07:10,320 --> 01:07:13,200 Speaker 3: over one hundred and forty three thousand people on their 1399 01:07:13,280 --> 01:07:16,760 Speaker 3: one A waiting list. Montco is very majority white, so 1400 01:07:16,840 --> 01:07:18,439 Speaker 3: you know, if there's. 1401 01:07:19,600 --> 01:07:21,560 Speaker 2: So you know, there's a still messed up. 1402 01:07:23,600 --> 01:07:25,800 Speaker 3: Boit, So you know, if I don't know if that 1403 01:07:25,920 --> 01:07:29,360 Speaker 3: was if she's saying there is or isn't. But the 1404 01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:31,960 Speaker 3: Black Doctors Consortium has gotten a lot of support from 1405 01:07:31,960 --> 01:07:34,400 Speaker 3: the local Black church to keep operating, first through testing 1406 01:07:34,440 --> 01:07:35,520 Speaker 3: and now with vaccines. 1407 01:07:36,080 --> 01:07:38,320 Speaker 2: It is frustrating but not surprising. 1408 01:07:38,560 --> 01:07:41,680 Speaker 3: They have gotten only minimal support from the city when 1409 01:07:41,720 --> 01:07:44,640 Speaker 3: the white group Philly Fighting COVID got a lot. A 1410 01:07:44,680 --> 01:07:48,000 Speaker 3: white organization run by college students, which I'm sure has 1411 01:07:48,040 --> 01:07:51,560 Speaker 3: a family member in some city positions somewhere, because that's 1412 01:07:51,560 --> 01:07:54,320 Speaker 3: how it goes here, basically did a little and took 1413 01:07:54,360 --> 01:07:56,720 Speaker 3: off with the vaccine and the money. I did hear 1414 01:07:56,800 --> 01:07:58,560 Speaker 3: word on the street is that the head of the 1415 01:07:58,640 --> 01:07:59,560 Speaker 3: organization had. 1416 01:07:59,400 --> 01:08:02,240 Speaker 2: To lead because people were looking for him. That also 1417 01:08:02,360 --> 01:08:04,480 Speaker 2: is very Philly and sounds true to me. L. 1418 01:08:05,240 --> 01:08:07,240 Speaker 3: My next thing is how some people are coming back 1419 01:08:07,320 --> 01:08:09,920 Speaker 3: with their four year hiatus of protesting during the forty 1420 01:08:09,960 --> 01:08:13,200 Speaker 3: five era as well, rested and ready to go now 1421 01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,120 Speaker 3: that the Biden Harris administration is here, Like you did 1422 01:08:16,160 --> 01:08:19,880 Speaker 3: not keep the same energy called Cough Cornell, West Tavis, 1423 01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:23,599 Speaker 3: some other academics and protesters. In any case, I also 1424 01:08:23,640 --> 01:08:26,599 Speaker 3: wanted to try, well, yeah, first of all, to your 1425 01:08:26,680 --> 01:08:30,080 Speaker 3: stuff about the coronavirus stuff. That's interesting, and thank you 1426 01:08:30,080 --> 01:08:32,800 Speaker 3: for that. Perspective from Philly, you know, since we're not there. 1427 01:08:33,439 --> 01:08:34,920 Speaker 2: But I've been thinking that too. 1428 01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:38,120 Speaker 3: I think there's a lot less resistance to getting the 1429 01:08:38,200 --> 01:08:41,040 Speaker 3: vaccine that people think because most of that shit is 1430 01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:44,880 Speaker 3: online polls and we don't have the numbers to put 1431 01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:45,360 Speaker 3: this to the. 1432 01:08:45,360 --> 01:08:46,439 Speaker 2: Test, right. 1433 01:08:46,960 --> 01:08:49,280 Speaker 4: No, I think you're going to have a percentage of 1434 01:08:49,280 --> 01:08:52,040 Speaker 4: people that's going to be like no, but that's going 1435 01:08:52,120 --> 01:08:53,640 Speaker 4: to be always a lot of people don't need to 1436 01:08:53,640 --> 01:08:55,680 Speaker 4: take the other vaccines. 1437 01:08:56,280 --> 01:08:57,759 Speaker 5: But I think most. 1438 01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:00,599 Speaker 4: People, actually, majority of the people you speak to, actually 1439 01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:01,479 Speaker 4: won't be shots. 1440 01:09:01,800 --> 01:09:04,439 Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll see when we have the numbers to test 1441 01:09:04,439 --> 01:09:08,519 Speaker 2: that theory.

I'm finally writing with my 1622 01:17:32,720 --> 01:17:37,040 Speaker 3: two cents about the N word, a topic that always resurfaces. 1623 01:17:36,640 --> 01:17:39,840 Speaker 3: As last week's feedback mentioned, French speaking white people seem 1624 01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:43,000 Speaker 3: to like excuses to use the word, but as you know, 1625 01:17:43,120 --> 01:17:45,040 Speaker 3: this is a concept issue in all kinds of contexts 1626 01:17:45,040 --> 01:17:47,920 Speaker 3: in the United States too. I'm older than y'all, so well, 1627 01:17:47,960 --> 01:17:51,080 Speaker 3: you donna look at this, Okay, I'm older than y'all, 1628 01:17:51,120 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 3: so I know what you mean about how it seems 1629 01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:55,599 Speaker 3: younger folks are more outspoken on the issue, especially when 1630 01:17:55,600 --> 01:17:59,120 Speaker 3: it happens in their classrooms. For me, it's all about context. Clearly, 1631 01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,080 Speaker 3: I have no problem here the word in music, on 1632 01:18:01,080 --> 01:18:03,679 Speaker 3: this show, etc. But it's not cool in the workplace 1633 01:18:03,760 --> 01:18:07,400 Speaker 3: or in learning environments. And classes are both yet workplaces 1634 01:18:07,439 --> 01:18:10,080 Speaker 3: and learning environments, a learning environment for students in a 1635 01:18:10,120 --> 01:18:14,480 Speaker 3: workplace for teachers. Especially because I didn't go to an HBCU, 1636 01:18:14,560 --> 01:18:16,719 Speaker 3: I was in class where white professors use the word 1637 01:18:17,200 --> 01:18:20,840 Speaker 3: student Caretha didn't have the chance or the language to 1638 01:18:21,040 --> 01:18:23,040 Speaker 3: express how foul and unnecessari. 1639 01:18:22,520 --> 01:18:24,400 Speaker 2: Those situations were. But here's the thing. 1640 01:18:24,439 --> 01:18:26,920 Speaker 3: I shouldn't have needed that level of sophistication as savvy. 1641 01:18:27,240 --> 01:18:29,760 Speaker 3: I simply shouldn't have been in a class made hostile by. 1642 01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:31,240 Speaker 2: The teacher's intellectual laziness. 1643 01:18:31,360 --> 01:18:33,400 Speaker 3: White people need to hold themselves and each other to 1644 01:18:33,479 --> 01:18:37,800 Speaker 3: higher standards. So Professor Caritha now speaks on the issue 1645 01:18:37,800 --> 01:18:40,479 Speaker 3: because I know what student Caretha felt like, and the 1646 01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:43,240 Speaker 3: way it felt could have easily kept student Caritha from 1647 01:18:43,240 --> 01:18:47,040 Speaker 3: ever pursuing a PhD. For me, this is quickly translated 1648 01:18:47,080 --> 01:18:49,519 Speaker 3: into an appreciation for our students shouldn't have to contend 1649 01:18:49,520 --> 01:18:52,160 Speaker 3: with slurs at any con Too many teachers operate like 1650 01:18:52,200 --> 01:18:56,000 Speaker 3: slurs about sexual orientation or Kaynto disabilities are okay, and 1651 01:18:56,040 --> 01:18:58,519 Speaker 3: it simply is it again, students shouldn't have to be 1652 01:18:58,720 --> 01:19:00,760 Speaker 3: activists to have a less. 1653 01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:01,919 Speaker 2: Hostile learning environment. 1654 01:19:02,360 --> 01:19:04,719 Speaker 3: So I give workshops to get teachers at every level 1655 01:19:04,720 --> 01:19:07,400 Speaker 3: to hold themselves to higher standards. I'm reaching lots of 1656 01:19:07,439 --> 01:19:10,000 Speaker 3: teachers and administrators, but I would love for more parents 1657 01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:13,280 Speaker 3: to know these resources exist so that they can get 1658 01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:17,200 Speaker 3: their schools more active on this before the foulness happens 1659 01:19:17,200 --> 01:19:19,599 Speaker 3: to their own kid and they end up spending all 1660 01:19:19,680 --> 01:19:21,960 Speaker 3: kinds of time and energy trying to hold someone accountable, 1661 01:19:21,960 --> 01:19:25,519 Speaker 3: which really actually happens anyway. Here's a forty five minute 1662 01:19:25,560 --> 01:19:28,640 Speaker 3: podcast episode I record a couple of years ago, the 1663 01:19:28,800 --> 01:19:34,400 Speaker 3: N Word in the Classroom, Just Say No, and C 1664 01:19:34,600 --> 01:19:37,679 Speaker 3: one nine podcasts, the C nineteen podcasts. 1665 01:19:37,720 --> 01:19:39,760 Speaker 2: I guess if y'all want to go look it up. 1666 01:19:42,680 --> 01:19:45,080 Speaker 3: Here's the covenant I use all my class regarding slurs 1667 01:19:45,080 --> 01:19:48,720 Speaker 3: and hate speech, and it's a link to teaching in 1668 01:19:48,800 --> 01:19:53,360 Speaker 3: the N word and the questions to consider about it 1669 01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:56,080 Speaker 3: in the in the classroom. 1670 01:19:56,479 --> 01:19:57,799 Speaker 2: And then these. 1671 01:19:57,640 --> 01:20:00,240 Speaker 3: Are freely available because of hostility these teachers care. It's 1672 01:20:00,280 --> 01:20:02,400 Speaker 3: far too common. I'm doing what I can to make 1673 01:20:02,439 --> 01:20:04,400 Speaker 3: it less common. This is a constant topic. So I 1674 01:20:04,479 --> 01:20:07,519 Speaker 3: finally just had to share. I never will again, especially 1675 01:20:07,520 --> 01:20:09,320 Speaker 3: because this email ended up being so long. 1676 01:20:09,360 --> 01:20:11,479 Speaker 2: I promised, good vies, Currica. 1677 01:20:11,880 --> 01:20:14,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, well, I mean it's definitely very close and dear 1678 01:20:14,120 --> 01:20:16,679 Speaker 3: to your heart. I could tell Iman done your work 1679 01:20:16,680 --> 01:20:20,160 Speaker 3: on it and stuff. Like I said, Man, I mean, 1680 01:20:20,680 --> 01:20:23,000 Speaker 3: I'd be lying if I told you it bothered me. 1681 01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:26,599 Speaker 3: I'm just you know, it just does it. I don't 1682 01:20:26,640 --> 01:20:28,599 Speaker 3: know if it's from being from the South. I don't 1683 01:20:28,640 --> 01:20:30,840 Speaker 3: know if it's just I did go to an HBCU, 1684 01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:34,680 Speaker 3: and most of the schools I went to were predominantly 1685 01:20:34,720 --> 01:20:38,920 Speaker 3: black or had a very high population of black people 1686 01:20:38,960 --> 01:20:41,400 Speaker 3: that was overrepresentative of the thirteen percent of the population 1687 01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:44,439 Speaker 3: that we actually are. So it could be that, you know, 1688 01:20:44,600 --> 01:20:47,880 Speaker 3: lived in a black neighborhood. So to me, I never 1689 01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:53,559 Speaker 3: felt endangered or like a teacher was just trying to 1690 01:20:53,560 --> 01:20:57,120 Speaker 3: be tricky and get a chance to say nigga. You know, 1691 01:20:57,439 --> 01:21:00,639 Speaker 3: that was not my experience. But you know, like I said, 1692 01:21:00,760 --> 01:21:03,040 Speaker 3: between you and then the person that road in last week, 1693 01:21:03,080 --> 01:21:05,920 Speaker 3: that appears that at least some black people feel that 1694 01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:08,559 Speaker 3: that's what's happening, and then some black kids in these 1695 01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:11,759 Speaker 3: schools feel like that's what's happening. And I don't regrets 1696 01:21:11,840 --> 01:21:14,960 Speaker 3: them at all. Literally, I feel like, you fight the 1697 01:21:15,040 --> 01:21:18,280 Speaker 3: fight that's in front of you. If you don't feel comfortable, 1698 01:21:18,360 --> 01:21:21,479 Speaker 3: you pay that tuition, and if you don't want to 1699 01:21:21,479 --> 01:21:23,840 Speaker 3: hear that shit, you shouldn't have to. I don't think 1700 01:21:23,880 --> 01:21:27,240 Speaker 3: it's necessarily an educational thing. 1701 01:21:27,360 --> 01:21:28,080 Speaker 2: I don't like. 1702 01:21:28,760 --> 01:21:31,680 Speaker 3: I don't think a teacher saying innword gym in the 1703 01:21:31,760 --> 01:21:38,120 Speaker 3: classroom suddenly takes away from the whole lesson of Tom 1704 01:21:38,200 --> 01:21:39,559 Speaker 3: Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. 1705 01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:41,439 Speaker 2: I don't. I don't. I just I believe there's a 1706 01:21:41,920 --> 01:21:43,960 Speaker 2: way to do it. I think the resistance to that 1707 01:21:44,080 --> 01:21:47,040 Speaker 2: kind of shit is sometimes over. 1708 01:21:48,920 --> 01:21:51,920 Speaker 3: Sometimes it's like they're worried about the slippery slope that 1709 01:21:53,320 --> 01:21:55,400 Speaker 3: I don't know that that's where we're going. But we can, 1710 01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:57,639 Speaker 3: we can have nuanced the whole way. We can fight 1711 01:21:57,640 --> 01:21:59,080 Speaker 3: the slippery slope when we get there. 1712 01:21:59,400 --> 01:22:00,519 Speaker 2: So if it's so where. 1713 01:22:00,400 --> 01:22:03,160 Speaker 3: People are like, I don't want this book taught in 1714 01:22:03,200 --> 01:22:06,040 Speaker 3: classes because it has the N word in it, well, 1715 01:22:06,200 --> 01:22:08,799 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't think you should not teach Tony 1716 01:22:08,800 --> 01:22:13,000 Speaker 3: Morrison's Jazz because it had nigga in it, right, you know. 1717 01:22:13,280 --> 01:22:16,040 Speaker 3: And I also think if you're gonna teach it, you should. 1718 01:22:16,080 --> 01:22:19,200 Speaker 3: You don't have to say nigga in your class, you know. 1719 01:22:19,400 --> 01:22:22,519 Speaker 3: And I think there's plenty of situations what we do 1720 01:22:22,560 --> 01:22:25,639 Speaker 3: think is acceptable to say, Hey, you can't say that here, 1721 01:22:26,160 --> 01:22:28,840 Speaker 3: you know, if it's not just a classroom.
