I'm like, well, let's get the middle step 51 00:02:35,760 --> 00:02:37,519 Speaker 1: because you don't give a damn about what I'm really saying. 52 00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: So that happened yesterday before the party. But I'm used 53 00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,160 Speaker 1: to her. You know, we've been together eight years, married 54 00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 1: eight years, I should say you together ten plus, So 55 00:02:48,440 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: I know what I was getting myself into. We cleaned 56 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,600 Speaker 1: up the house, got it right. Kids came over, Oh 57 00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 1: so dope, like all their parents. We're sitting outside, all 58 00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,919 Speaker 1: the kids inside, running up and down the stairs, playing 59 00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: video games, just living life man, stuff that I used 60 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:04,600 Speaker 1: to dream about when I was little, Not so much 61 00:03:04,600 --> 00:03:07,840 Speaker 1: having my friends over, but being able to have things 62 00:03:07,840 --> 00:03:10,120 Speaker 1: for my friends, to be entertained with other than us 63 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:12,920 Speaker 1: just talking in a couple of games. Right, it was 64 00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:15,400 Speaker 1: just great. But no matter what it is, kids could 65 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,120 Speaker 1: get a piece of paper and a pencil and have 66 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,720 Speaker 1: some fun playing tik Tak toll. Right, But it's just 67 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,200 Speaker 1: good to see dreams realized, and especially those guys. Because 68 00:03:24,720 --> 00:03:26,920 Speaker 1: we weren't the favorites to win. We actually lost the 69 00:03:26,960 --> 00:03:28,600 Speaker 1: game in the regular season to the team that we 70 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,560 Speaker 1: had to see in the championship game. That team was loaded. 71 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: They didn't lose one game. That team first player of 72 00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,320 Speaker 1: the game. They scored on a second play of the game. 73 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:41,760 Speaker 1: They picked us off. But my team persevered, and that's 74 00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:43,760 Speaker 1: what I love about it. So we had a ball. 75 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: We had a great championship party. Fam friends over, we 76 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:53,280 Speaker 1: played basketball. Y'all look on Instagram and stuff. I kind 77 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,640 Speaker 1: of hooked them up, man, because all throughout the year 78 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,840 Speaker 1: they always asked me for playing cards, trading cards, coach, 79 00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,320 Speaker 1: where's your card? Ask for jerseys too, but I ignore 80 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:02,960 Speaker 1: them when they ask for jersey. Hell no, a little boy, 81 00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 1: you don't get no jersey. But they were like, where 82 00:04:04,840 --> 00:04:06,760 Speaker 1: you're playing cards? I want a card? I want a card. 83 00:04:07,160 --> 00:04:10,200 Speaker 1: So I was gonna give every kid a card, duh. 84 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:12,360 Speaker 1: But then I wanted to have some fun, a little competition. 85 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:13,920 Speaker 1: You know, in this world today, we don't want the 86 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:18,120 Speaker 1: kids to compete. Where's the score? No score? Who won? 87 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,800 Speaker 1: Who cares? Everyone gets a participation trophy, which I actually like. 88 00:04:22,520 --> 00:04:24,320 Speaker 1: But everything else, I'm like, nah, they still gotta know 89 00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:26,159 Speaker 1: who won, but they all get a trophy. Ain't nothing 90 00:04:26,160 --> 00:04:29,279 Speaker 1: wrong with that nice little hybrid fixed right. So I 91 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,800 Speaker 1: had the kids to have a dunk contest. I had 92 00:04:32,839 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: the kids have a free throw contest. The strongest arm 93 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:40,479 Speaker 1: accuracy contests. Yeah, man, And that's how you want extra 94 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:42,640 Speaker 1: playing cards, extra trading cards. So we had a ball. 95 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,679 Speaker 1: Love the little kids. Shout out to my team. They'll 96 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 1: never be together again. That's how sports works. You never 97 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,000 Speaker 1: get the exact same team again. Remember when Nick Saban said, Daddy, 98 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 1: people walking to the meeting. You know, they just won 99 00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,200 Speaker 1: a championship one of them years, Nick Saban, just walk guys, 100 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:05,480 Speaker 1: don't fool yourselves. We are not repeating as champions because 101 00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:08,799 Speaker 1: every guy in this room wasn't the same as every 102 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,840 Speaker 1: guy was in the last room which won a championship. 103 00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,840 Speaker 1: I was like, damn, Nick, that's the hellu speech Nick 104 00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:17,760 Speaker 1: Saberman playing and he ain't lying. I've never been on 105 00:05:17,800 --> 00:05:21,560 Speaker 1: a team consecutively where we had the same exact team, 106 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,520 Speaker 1: never any level like exactly the same. Hell no, even 107 00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:27,440 Speaker 1: an assistant coach to dip out because he want to 108 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 1: be a head coach. So nope, never seen it like that. 109 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,200 Speaker 1: Speak of them, never seeing it like that. I've never 110 00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:37,080 Speaker 1: seen something like this. Let's talk about it. Colin Kaepernick, 111 00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:42,200 Speaker 1: white adoptive mom said he looked like a thug wearing 112 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:45,719 Speaker 1: braids to school. So CAP's mom said he looked like 113 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: a thug wearing braids, accuses his white adoptive parents of 114 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:55,720 Speaker 1: problematic upbringing and perpetuating racism. Oh my, haven't read the 115 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: book yet. I guess it's coming out another book or something. 116 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,760 Speaker 1: So this is like the beginning of the promo tour. 117 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:04,000 Speaker 1: I assume let's read through it before we get to it. 118 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:07,520 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick is accusing his adoptive parents of being problematic 119 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:10,000 Speaker 1: during his childhood, and a new interview with CBS News, 120 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,000 Speaker 1: the former NFL football player explains the struggles that he 121 00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,880 Speaker 1: had to face growing up with a white family. In 122 00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,640 Speaker 1: his new graphic novel Changed the Game Told You I 123 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,880 Speaker 1: know my parents loved me, but there were still very 124 00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: problematic things that I went through. Kaepernick expressed the CBS News, 125 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:30,400 Speaker 1: I think it was important to show that no, this 126 00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,839 Speaker 1: can happen in your own home and how we move 127 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:36,960 Speaker 1: forward collectively while addressing the racism that is being perpetuated. 128 00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: One particular moment that stood out to him was when 129 00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: he was in high school and told his parents he 130 00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: wanted braids just like the former NBA star Alan Iverson, 131 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:51,240 Speaker 1: and his mother responded, he's getting what Roles. I don't 132 00:06:51,240 --> 00:06:54,520 Speaker 1: even know what to say. He's getting what Roles Kaepernick 133 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:57,440 Speaker 1: said after styling his hair that way, his mom told 134 00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: him his hair was quote unquote not professor, you know, 135 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,760 Speaker 1: and he quote unquote looked like a little Doug. Okay, 136 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,160 Speaker 1: let's unpack this one all right. First and foremost, you're 137 00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: ungrateful sounding ass. I know his parents, his adopted parents 138 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:16,880 Speaker 1: are thinking this motherfuck. He's so ungrateful, like you're bringing 139 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,840 Speaker 1: all this hell and all this stuff up now, Like 140 00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: we didn't do our best then and we didn't talk 141 00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:25,200 Speaker 1: through that problem. Then you're grateful. Little Your parents didn't 142 00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:26,880 Speaker 1: even want you, and I took your air. You took 143 00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:29,360 Speaker 1: you in and this is how you treat me. It 144 00:07:29,400 --> 00:07:32,000 Speaker 1: really takes me back to like that when Nwa try 145 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: to do that reunion and that doctor Dre voice, he said, 146 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,960 Speaker 1: I did all this shit, and this the motherfucking thinks. 147 00:07:37,960 --> 00:07:41,120 Speaker 1: So get hello, y'all. Remember that's so I started this 148 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: gangster ship. Kaepernick's like, God, leave y'all. Didn't do it right, 149 00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: y'all didn't do it perfectly, and every parent ever it's like, duh, 150 00:07:50,160 --> 00:07:52,560 Speaker 1: that was the attempt, but obviously that wasn't gonna be 151 00:07:52,600 --> 00:07:55,600 Speaker 1: the result. Parents like, I did all this shit, and 152 00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: it's the thanks I get hello, all right. My wife's adopted. 153 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 1: I don't know how that helps me in this situation, 154 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:05,160 Speaker 1: but working through some of her trauma is interesting. It's 155 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: a different dynamic than me, born to my mother and 156 00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,840 Speaker 1: father in a nuclear family home. Different than my sister Tiki, 157 00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: the one I always talk about who actually grew up 158 00:08:15,280 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 1: with my dad. But her and I our mom, right, 159 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,440 Speaker 1: so we only shared mama together. But that was my daddy, 160 00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,280 Speaker 1: that wasn't your daddy. And I saw how that made 161 00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:28,720 Speaker 1: her feel a little different than me. So I got 162 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:30,600 Speaker 1: my mom and dad, and my sister only got her 163 00:08:30,680 --> 00:08:33,600 Speaker 1: mama and Kaepernick didn't have either, and my wife didn't 164 00:08:33,640 --> 00:08:36,120 Speaker 1: have either. Let's talk about it. Okay, So this is 165 00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 1: really about is that racism that she said, you're gonna 166 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,600 Speaker 1: look like a little thug or something else? Of course, 167 00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:46,680 Speaker 1: you know, I think it's something else because black people 168 00:08:46,720 --> 00:08:48,319 Speaker 1: say that stuff too. And I don't know how racist 169 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,959 Speaker 1: you could be on your own, but if you can, well, 170 00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,720 Speaker 1: then that redefines what racism is. Let's do it. Black 171 00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,440 Speaker 1: people like, boy, you're looking thuggish, you're looking crazy, you're 172 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 1: looking gangster, whatever it may be, we'll talk through it. 173 00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: I think that symbol and style, you know, attempt to 174 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 1: represent a person or a group of people. But let's 175 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 1: explore the sociological why right style symbols cats actually wear 176 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:16,040 Speaker 1: stuff to act like they're that thing. So let's just 177 00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,320 Speaker 1: let's just give it a tagline. You are not it, 178 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,240 Speaker 1: but you look like it. You are not it, but 179 00:09:24,480 --> 00:09:27,319 Speaker 1: you look like it. You are not a little thug, 180 00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:31,040 Speaker 1: but you look like a little thug. What does that mean? 181 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:34,840 Speaker 1: And is that racist or what is it it really intended? Okay? 182 00:09:35,400 --> 00:09:37,520 Speaker 1: I remember growing up in the first time I got 183 00:09:38,280 --> 00:09:42,960 Speaker 1: I guess around this topic, around this type of information 184 00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,440 Speaker 1: was when I heard ice Cube when I was living 185 00:09:46,480 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: in La. Right, I'm a youngster and ice Cube is 186 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: representing like gangster gangster. He had to portray gangster, not 187 00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,440 Speaker 1: just live gangster or see gangster stuff. But now you're 188 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: an artist, nobody knows how you live unless you put 189 00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:05,640 Speaker 1: tray it right? And what did ice cu famlessly say? 190 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: I were a Raider hat, T shirt and khakis. And 191 00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: when he said that, I was like, why is he 192 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,600 Speaker 1: saying that? Oh, because that's the uniform of gangsters. Now, 193 00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:17,200 Speaker 1: I don't know which one came first. Was cats really 194 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 1: wearing raider hats, T shirts and khakis and banging, or 195 00:10:21,400 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 1: when you were starting to bang you said I got 196 00:10:23,640 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: to wear a Raider hat, T shirt and khakis. But 197 00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:29,720 Speaker 1: let me tell you there were a trillion cats in 198 00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:34,160 Speaker 1: LA and it obviously took off nationwide wearing raider hats, 199 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:38,920 Speaker 1: T shirts and khakis. Why to say to show that 200 00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:44,240 Speaker 1: they were gangster, even those that wearing gangster? Right, first 201 00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 1: jacket I ever had started jacket? Guess what it was? 202 00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:50,360 Speaker 1: A black Raiders jacket. I wasn't trying to be gangster, 203 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: but I had on what the gangsters had on. Yeah, 204 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 1: catch where I'm going with this Okay, So if your 205 00:10:57,400 --> 00:10:59,920 Speaker 1: gangster in La at a time you wore a d 206 00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: had T shirt and khakis. You also at a time 207 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: may have had your pant sagging at a time, may 208 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: have had a bandanna hanger. Now you really gangster? Island? 209 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,280 Speaker 1: Ain't know if answer bus If you got a bandanto, 210 00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,400 Speaker 1: you got the flag hanging? Or you gangster? You crazy? 211 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,200 Speaker 1: Back in the eighties, Oh hell no, that was a 212 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:19,640 Speaker 1: death certificate if you weren't really banging a penalty remember 213 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:22,600 Speaker 1: those like, you know, little checkers and stuff. You had 214 00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: on a penalty sagging with some khakis and a flag hanging. Man, 215 00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 1: don't even tell me you're not gangster. However, I wore 216 00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 1: a Pendelton before in the house, I had flag. I 217 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,440 Speaker 1: never go outside of the flag, but I had on khakis. 218 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,520 Speaker 1: Was I a gangster? Nope? But was I looking like 219 00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,240 Speaker 1: a gangster? Hell? Yeah I was, because my mama told 220 00:11:42,280 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: me I was. My sister told me, I was like, 221 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,120 Speaker 1: what you're doing trying to look gangster? Black people? Telling 222 00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:51,840 Speaker 1: me that? Was that racist? No? Was it something else? Yes? 223 00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: Was it something else? With Colin Kaepernick's paris, Let's see, 224 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:00,760 Speaker 1: so I knew that you can wrap some and look 225 00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:03,880 Speaker 1: like something, even if you weren't something, right, So then 226 00:12:03,920 --> 00:12:07,280 Speaker 1: I started looking around for other ways to identify. You know, 227 00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,600 Speaker 1: I went through my little dancer phase. What was that? Well, 228 00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:13,040 Speaker 1: somebody who had a high top fade, your kidn't play? 229 00:12:13,240 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: So I had the big daddy cane, curly top look. 230 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,360 Speaker 1: And then I looked more dancer, right, I had on 231 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,040 Speaker 1: the preppy look, you remember, like the button downs, the 232 00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:29,240 Speaker 1: colorful cross color pants, flower shirt, the high top, big 233 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,960 Speaker 1: daddy cane kid and play. I'm preppy, will Smith kind 234 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:36,160 Speaker 1: of whatever you want to call that, right, a living 235 00:12:36,200 --> 00:12:39,760 Speaker 1: color remember that, or even a different world? You look 236 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: like one of those. But were you? I ain't. I 237 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,920 Speaker 1: ain't go to school, dad, I wasn't in college yet. 238 00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,000 Speaker 1: I wasn't on those show like that. It's just like projections. 239 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:52,000 Speaker 1: Right then, you obviously know if somebody's wearing a suit, 240 00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:57,160 Speaker 1: Oh look at that businessman or businesswoman. Oh my god, right, 241 00:12:57,480 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 1: we see it all. We ain't stupid. You wear an 242 00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:03,480 Speaker 1: orange jumpsuit. You know, cats gonna be like them? You 243 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,199 Speaker 1: trying to look like you a prisoner, You trying to 244 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:06,840 Speaker 1: look like an m may you trying to look gangster, 245 00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: whatever it may be. And I've seen them all. Let's 246 00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,559 Speaker 1: go real, let's go to the racy ones, six inch shields, 247 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: mini skirt, broad top. Oh you a hole, You are slut, 248 00:13:17,480 --> 00:13:20,200 Speaker 1: you promiscuous something right, And that gets a lot of 249 00:13:20,240 --> 00:13:23,200 Speaker 1: people in trouble because I am not a hole, I 250 00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 1: am not a slut, but I am wearing what they 251 00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:30,040 Speaker 1: would wear. That's what we generalize, that's what you typically saw. 252 00:13:30,320 --> 00:13:34,680 Speaker 1: So me living in La dressing like a gangster, but 253 00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: not being a gangster. Couldn't really attribute that to racism. 254 00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 1: What can you attribute it to? Well, human beings are 255 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,880 Speaker 1: wired a few ways, but one of them is that 256 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,160 Speaker 1: we're wired to generalize to protect ourselves. How did we 257 00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,760 Speaker 1: get wired that way? Well, we didn't have the information 258 00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:58,120 Speaker 1: we have now even thirty years ago, let alone three 259 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:01,920 Speaker 1: thousand years ago. You rumor, like before the Internet, you 260 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:03,319 Speaker 1: just be at the red light and had to look 261 00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: at the car next to you and that was it. 262 00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,120 Speaker 1: Now you're the red light sheep man. I'm about to 263 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: see what's happening in Japan right on that phone. That 264 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 1: wasn't even thirty years ago you could do that right, 265 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:16,880 Speaker 1: let alone three thousand years ago, you go outside, Hello, Hello, Hello, 266 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:21,080 Speaker 1: anybody anybody, anybody. You wait for your echo and be like, 267 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:22,880 Speaker 1: that's somebody. You hear your echo and think that was 268 00:14:23,000 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 1: somebody else. Now I fool you by yourself out there. 269 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: So you generalize because I ain't got time to meet 270 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,520 Speaker 1: each and every one of you. You generalize. I ain't 271 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:35,840 Speaker 1: got time to go into the group and find out 272 00:14:35,880 --> 00:14:38,760 Speaker 1: the nice guy from the bad guy. Whatever you wear. 273 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:42,280 Speaker 1: That's why symbols were so pertinent back in the day. 274 00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:46,120 Speaker 1: Symbols they said, draw everything. Everything was symbolic. Why I'm 275 00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 1: trying to let you know who I am. I'm representing this, that, 276 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: this or that. That's it. So when I read this story, 277 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,040 Speaker 1: I was like, just sounds like some generalization. Actually in protection, 278 00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: I didn't take you as racist. The only thing that 279 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:02,400 Speaker 1: can make you take it as racist, as a white 280 00:15:02,440 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: person said it, Well, what happens when a white person 281 00:15:05,080 --> 00:15:09,200 Speaker 1: and a black person says the exact same thing? Why 282 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:12,280 Speaker 1: is one deemed racist and one not? Right? I grew 283 00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:14,600 Speaker 1: up with a lot of black people clowning me, dissing me, 284 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: what racism? But then white people said the same thing 285 00:15:17,680 --> 00:15:21,240 Speaker 1: sometimes was that racism? Why? Why is that racism? When 286 00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: a black person told me the same damn thing for 287 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: the same reason as soon. Ah man, that's crazy. I mean, look, 288 00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,320 Speaker 1: it was already a complicated matter. He was adopted, which 289 00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: is unfortunate, but hey, make the best of it. Right 290 00:15:36,280 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 1: then you had interracial adoption, like your parents are white 291 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:45,840 Speaker 1: and you're a black m Only in America do we 292 00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:51,920 Speaker 1: mix race and culture intimately. And this great, like greater 293 00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:54,840 Speaker 1: than any other country, Like most countries don't even attempt it. Like, 294 00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: look y'all stay over there, y'all stay over there, your 295 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: race over there, your culture over there. Do not trying 296 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:02,200 Speaker 1: to to grate those things, right, But that's why I 297 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:04,560 Speaker 1: love America. That's why you guys all love America. You 298 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: hear right, at least some of y'all. I got audiences everywhere. 299 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:12,080 Speaker 1: But I'm just saying, like that attempt, that ambition, that 300 00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:15,760 Speaker 1: aspiration is what we all love about America. It's like, na, dog, 301 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: we're gonna be a real melting pot. That's what it's called, 302 00:16:18,760 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: like properly defined, all those mixes of racing culture is 303 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: a melting pot. Got love for it, right, But let's 304 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,160 Speaker 1: just just be careful every time we throw around racism, 305 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: like go a little deeper before you put that big 306 00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 1: r scarlet letter on somebody because maybe it's something else. 307 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,920 Speaker 1: I always thought growing up when I saw somebody looking 308 00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,240 Speaker 1: like something, that they could have been that. But let 309 00:16:44,240 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: me get to know them, to know who they really are, 310 00:16:46,680 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 1: because if not, I was judged as being a BNC 311 00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:53,360 Speaker 1: just based on that generalization. Oh he just a dug. 312 00:16:53,480 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: Look at them, big old black little dude, sagg and 313 00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,000 Speaker 1: I used to SAgs say the N words, sag Khakis, 314 00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: cortez on. I looked apart. My mama and daddy used 315 00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,760 Speaker 1: to check me, dog, you're doing too much. You're looking 316 00:17:05,800 --> 00:17:10,520 Speaker 1: like a little gangster. Was I gangster? Nah? Were they racist? Nah? 317 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:12,880 Speaker 1: All right, Let's get to something that I really approve 318 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:17,479 Speaker 1: of and unfortunately just keeps taking hits. Hazing. I am 319 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:19,440 Speaker 1: a fan of hazing, Yes I am. It's to write 320 00:17:19,440 --> 00:17:22,320 Speaker 1: a passage. You know, you gotta qualify to get in here. 321 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,840 Speaker 1: Let's talk about this Harvard's mental health hunger games. Oh. 322 00:17:26,359 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: Katie Stone has been Harvard's women's hockey coach for twenty 323 00:17:29,720 --> 00:17:32,600 Speaker 1: seven season. She has the accolades to back up, such 324 00:17:32,600 --> 00:17:35,480 Speaker 1: as a successful and long career. Blah blah blah, buddy's 325 00:17:35,480 --> 00:17:38,080 Speaker 1: trying to suck you up right now, who cares? All right, 326 00:17:38,119 --> 00:17:41,680 Speaker 1: let's get to the point. Oh, there have been multiple 327 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 1: racially insensitive comments from Stone and her staff. Okay, twenty 328 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,640 Speaker 1: twenty two, she said the team had too many chiefs 329 00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,280 Speaker 1: and not enough Indians. Damn, every one of my coach 330 00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:54,320 Speaker 1: has been fired. Say y'all said that too many chiefs 331 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:57,120 Speaker 1: and not enough Indians in a team meeting which included 332 00:17:57,119 --> 00:18:01,320 Speaker 1: two players of indigenous descent. Both players eventually left the team. Hey, 333 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,720 Speaker 1: I don't say what hate is unless you're talking about 334 00:18:04,760 --> 00:18:07,800 Speaker 1: something specific. And those people who you're talking about they 335 00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,520 Speaker 1: say it's hateful, then I got to bow down. I 336 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:13,000 Speaker 1: goes up, let them, I defer, even though I got 337 00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:16,960 Speaker 1: my own opinion. All right, there's been an annual initiation week, okay, 338 00:18:17,000 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: that includes various hazing rituals. A neked skate. Now that 339 00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:24,439 Speaker 1: sounds too far. It's cold. Coach, got me out here 340 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:29,359 Speaker 1: neck it bucking neked to this ass. See what do 341 00:18:29,359 --> 00:18:31,120 Speaker 1: you say after that? I forgot the part that's made 342 00:18:31,119 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: players uncomfortable. Players were pressured to participate in activities that 343 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:38,880 Speaker 1: revealed their sexual orientation. Ain't that kind of obvious? Boy? 344 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:41,359 Speaker 1: We're in a different world, different society. You gotta reveal 345 00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: your sexual sexual orientation, like it ain't obvious, Like that's 346 00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: a boy, that's a girl. Good Lord. Stone allegedly created 347 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:51,240 Speaker 1: a climate where players were constantly on edge. Now that's 348 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,520 Speaker 1: where I'm already with Stone, which means your own edge. 349 00:18:53,640 --> 00:18:56,280 Speaker 1: Maybe you're sorry, Maybe you ain't gonna get playing time. 350 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: Maybe you're just not that good, you know what I mean, 351 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,320 Speaker 1: like move man, including dividing the team essentially into two 352 00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: factions Stone favorites and players she didn't value. Usually coaches 353 00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,200 Speaker 1: value good players, but I don't know. The favorites would 354 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: then be tasked to monitor every detail about the other 355 00:19:12,600 --> 00:19:16,200 Speaker 1: factions daily laws. Oh damn, that's that's kind of case, 356 00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:19,120 Speaker 1: she said. Basically, the ones that are my favorites, y'all 357 00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:23,360 Speaker 1: watched them. Other ones who ain't. You can say that 358 00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 1: to them, but you can't say that to all of them. 359 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:29,200 Speaker 1: You can't tell both sides that I get that you 360 00:19:29,280 --> 00:19:30,600 Speaker 1: got in trouble. You just don't know how to play 361 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,199 Speaker 1: the game, lady. These incidents just scratched the surface of 362 00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:36,879 Speaker 1: a problem and a program that was described as a 363 00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:41,600 Speaker 1: mental health hunger games okay, Oh, Harvard's reluctance to act 364 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 1: because These issues were brought to administrators at least four 365 00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,959 Speaker 1: times in the last six years alone. I'm still a 366 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:49,840 Speaker 1: fan of hazing, y'all. I hear this problem sounds a 367 00:19:49,880 --> 00:19:52,960 Speaker 1: little more political and a little more bureaucracy and bs 368 00:19:53,160 --> 00:19:56,359 Speaker 1: than it does maybe actual offense. But let's talk to 369 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:00,600 Speaker 1: it with hazing. Why I like it it is because 370 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:04,440 Speaker 1: it actually is a qualifier, right, a passage, right, like gangs, 371 00:20:04,520 --> 00:20:07,439 Speaker 1: jump you in, get off the porch, homes man, fucked up? 372 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:10,560 Speaker 1: You joined the gangs? Remember that colors love that part 373 00:20:11,960 --> 00:20:14,760 Speaker 1: a team. I played on every team every single August. 374 00:20:14,800 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 1: Guess what training camp? There ain't nothing but a big 375 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:20,159 Speaker 1: ass hazing, a month long of hazing, and then you 376 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:23,680 Speaker 1: got Hell Week. What your think? Hell is Heaven? Look 377 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:27,359 Speaker 1: at Hell Week? Come on, man. But I do agree 378 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 1: with this. There has to be a line. It can't 379 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,280 Speaker 1: be free for all. It can't be you could do 380 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,720 Speaker 1: whatever the hell you want. Like I hear about a 381 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,760 Speaker 1: lot of initiations and people who join frats and stuff. 382 00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,520 Speaker 1: I ain't eat no boo boo bro I ain't put 383 00:20:40,560 --> 00:20:42,720 Speaker 1: my hands and nobody boo boo either.

You qualified, 394 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:19,399 Speaker 1: You went through our initiation, not just oh because you 395 00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,199 Speaker 1: can play football or because you could play hockey. In 396 00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:25,480 Speaker 1: this case, you're on the team. There's another team, you know, Dan, Well, 397 00:21:25,480 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 1: there's another team. It's with the vets. It's a team 398 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:30,720 Speaker 1: with the ballers. You want to be on that team. 399 00:21:30,760 --> 00:21:32,040 Speaker 1: You want to go to in and out with us 400 00:21:32,119 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 1: after team meal.

I know? I got initiated, 405 00:21:51,080 --> 00:21:54,800 Speaker 1: uh I told you guys countless times how they take 406 00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,600 Speaker 1: me to the gold Post and poured baby Potter and 407 00:21:57,760 --> 00:22:01,280 Speaker 1: oil on me. All right now, the looked at me differently. 408 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,360 Speaker 1: I take it Pat Williams, that happened to him. Uh, 409 00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:07,720 Speaker 1: he got also wrestled and beat up a lot, like 410 00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:10,399 Speaker 1: not real beat up, but like they used to wrestle, 411 00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:12,199 Speaker 1: and I can't wrestle, and I don't wrestle, and I 412 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,320 Speaker 1: don't like getting tickled, and I don't like nobody laying 413 00:22:14,320 --> 00:22:16,760 Speaker 1: on me. I get cross to phobic, I get weirdly weird, 414 00:22:16,800 --> 00:22:19,560 Speaker 1: I get super aggressive, so I stopped laughing fast and 415 00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 1: then I dremond green your ass. And I don't fight 416 00:22:22,560 --> 00:22:25,240 Speaker 1: my own teammates, so they knew not to do that. 417 00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 1: They're like, just duct tape his ass and leaving button 418 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:30,760 Speaker 1: neckie ain't tripping on that. They also know that too. 419 00:22:30,800 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 1: They know like where the line is, So that's why 420 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:36,320 Speaker 1: I'm like, did this cross the line? The neck is? 421 00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:40,440 Speaker 1: Skating is kind of use. These are not adults, these 422 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: are college kids, and Harvard should have did something about it. 423 00:22:43,359 --> 00:22:45,959 Speaker 1: But it's Harvard, it's not Columbia. Columbia would have been 424 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 1: next this. Let me get a recruiting chit on him 425 00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:52,160 Speaker 1: very quick.

Come up, get 432 00:23:08,320 --> 00:23:11,600 Speaker 1: with it. Y'all too smart, pun intended for this to happen. 433 00:23:12,080 --> 00:23:15,320 Speaker 1: M speaking about happening. Let me get into this Dion 434 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:18,840 Speaker 1: Sanders topic I did. I did some work on this before, 435 00:23:18,960 --> 00:23:21,000 Speaker 1: talked about this before, but I ain't really hone in 436 00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:24,320 Speaker 1: on what I want to talk about right now. How 437 00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:28,160 Speaker 1: he wanted Colorado's band to be won with the team, 438 00:23:28,200 --> 00:23:31,920 Speaker 1: and that turned into a game of appropriation to everyone's 439 00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:36,320 Speaker 1: playing versus what's appropriate that we are witnessing, right appropriation 440 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:41,680 Speaker 1: verse cultural appropriation versus what's appropriate to what we're witnessing. 441 00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 1: All right, if y'all don't know what I said about that, 442 00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 1: y'all gotta go find them old clips. I ain't gonna 443 00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:50,879 Speaker 1: regurgitate for my loyal fans who keep up with me appropriation, 444 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:53,920 Speaker 1: tell me where y'all fall on this one? Right? Because 445 00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: I heard this one a thousand times. White girl gets 446 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,680 Speaker 1: her hair braided. Problem, you get your hair braided for 447 00:23:59,760 --> 00:24:01,200 Speaker 1: you try to look black, trying to act black, trying 448 00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:05,880 Speaker 1: to be black. Okay, but then I don't hear as 449 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 1: much when the black girl has blonde hair. M y'all 450 00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:14,400 Speaker 1: seen that everywhere? Right? No problem? Right? She good, she good, 451 00:24:14,440 --> 00:24:18,000 Speaker 1: she fresh, she got blind air. Last time I check? 452 00:24:18,080 --> 00:24:20,200 Speaker 1: Do we I mean outside of creoles? And I don't 453 00:24:20,200 --> 00:24:22,320 Speaker 1: even know if they didn't, like, do we do that? Whatever? 454 00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,359 Speaker 1: And then they'd be like, oh man, stop stealing our stuff, 455 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:29,200 Speaker 1: stop profiting off our stuff, stop stealing from us. Then 456 00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:33,360 Speaker 1: literally we're out there playing basketball that white people created Canada, 457 00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: Canadians football, IVY League created a white people. You think 458 00:24:37,040 --> 00:24:38,520 Speaker 1: it was black people in the IVY League and the 459 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,840 Speaker 1: eighteen hundreds, Hollywood. You know what I'm doing right now? 460 00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:46,359 Speaker 1: Industry created by white people. The point is, man, I 461 00:24:46,400 --> 00:24:49,040 Speaker 1: just think it's a dangerous game. You know me, I'm 462 00:24:49,080 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 1: a unifier and I take all the hits. I'll call 463 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: me whatever y'all gonna call me, Okay, just call me though, 464 00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,439 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. But we need to stop 465 00:24:56,560 --> 00:25:01,520 Speaker 1: all this like like revenue sharing and like pie slicing. 466 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,159 Speaker 1: Oh that's not ours. All that is ours. Oh you 467 00:25:04,160 --> 00:25:06,639 Speaker 1: stop right there. We all borrowing from each other.

So I just 475 00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: thought that was a little interesting, especially when I'm watching 476 00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:35,120 Speaker 1: Alabama football games and I hearn Turner the mother because 477 00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 1: I'm down.
