We got two comments on 184 00:09:17,880 --> 00:09:21,559 Speaker 2: our website. Appia says about pronouns. For myself, I'm a cisperson. 185 00:09:21,600 --> 00:09:22,320 Speaker 1: I don't feel. 186 00:09:22,080 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 2: Comfortable writing my pronouns is some kind of bio for example, 187 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 2: I don't even know why. It feels somewhat like a performance. Also, 188 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,320 Speaker 2: I don't like labeling myself this way. I'm talking only 189 00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 2: about my pronouns, not questioning the pronouns other people or 190 00:09:34,160 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 2: their preference. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe I would think differently 191 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,480 Speaker 2: in a few years. There's also the point that the 192 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:43,240 Speaker 2: pronouns in Germany are somewhat differently different. The courtesy form 193 00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 2: of talking to someone here is it looks like sie. 194 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,760 Speaker 2: So I don't know if to see your side. It's 195 00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:53,040 Speaker 2: strangely already about non binary. It's not a new thing 196 00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:57,400 Speaker 2: at all. It's your day them. It means it means they, 197 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 2: but it's used to talk directly to someone like what 198 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 2: is their name? Meaning what is your name? 199 00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,080 Speaker 1: Sir? Language is interesting. 200 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the pronoun thing is interesting because it's 201 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:14,040 Speaker 2: definitely a great place for overthinkers such as myself to 202 00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:18,680 Speaker 2: think yourself into a big ass circle. Because I definitely 203 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:23,480 Speaker 2: understand the issue of people that said. I don't like 204 00:10:23,520 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 2: when people introduce themselves and bring up their pronouns in 205 00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,440 Speaker 2: real life because if I'm trans it feels like you're 206 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,920 Speaker 2: clocking me you're trying to like make me say something. 207 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,280 Speaker 2: Some people don't like being asked their pronouns because they 208 00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,360 Speaker 2: feel like that's something like an offense or you're clocking 209 00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,640 Speaker 2: them or something. Then there's a bunch of cist people 210 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:44,960 Speaker 2: that have weird fucking hang ups that get offended when 211 00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,480 Speaker 2: you bring up pronouns, like it's some sort of like, uh, 212 00:10:50,760 --> 00:10:53,400 Speaker 2: like it's some sort of slight to be asked your 213 00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:55,720 Speaker 2: pronouns or like what you're trying to say, I don't 214 00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: identify like I look or something. You know, So you 215 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,560 Speaker 2: got all that shit, and then you have people that 216 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 2: you know aren't really they're they're tangentially looking for fights 217 00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:12,920 Speaker 2: and these pronoun things are a good place to have conflict. 218 00:11:13,400 --> 00:11:15,360 Speaker 2: And so there's some people out there that are like 219 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 2: they and they're probably stressed, says straight people, but they 220 00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 2: it's the virtual signaling for them, and it's like, oh, 221 00:11:23,800 --> 00:11:26,080 Speaker 2: here's a chance for me to come down on another 222 00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,240 Speaker 2: person that might not know. And I think those people 223 00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,079 Speaker 2: do a lot more disservice than help. 224 00:11:32,400 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: And I think that. 225 00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:37,160 Speaker 2: Is and that is in every that's not just in 226 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:43,360 Speaker 2: the pronoun game, that's in every marginalized discussion specifically, because 227 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:46,280 Speaker 2: of like the internet culture and stuff.

You know, because these people get money, 609 00:30:07,200 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 2: so it wasn't as high as the fifty six percent. 610 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 2: Thirty four percent say they used to but not anymore, 611 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:15,400 Speaker 2: probably when they started getting that money, and sixteen percent 612 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:17,040 Speaker 2: say never because they was born rich. 613 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:18,800 Speaker 1: So I definitely understand. 614 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:22,840 Speaker 2: That the degree is in you, not on you.

And he said this on 722 00:35:34,239 --> 00:35:35,160 Speaker 2: Sway in the morning. 723 00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 1: And honestly, we might have to talk about tomorrow. 724 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 2: But honestly, even the way that clip is circulating as 725 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:44,719 Speaker 2: a knock. 726 00:35:44,480 --> 00:35:46,560 Speaker 3: Against DL is out of context. 727 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:49,120 Speaker 2: Is well, it's not just that it's out of context, 728 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:55,799 Speaker 2: it's people are so vindictive and so petty they did 729 00:35:55,840 --> 00:35:58,000 Speaker 2: not take a second to stop and think and realize 730 00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 2: how wrong they are. And and I and I and 731 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:05,719 Speaker 2: I feel like I'm one of those people because I 732 00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:11,200 Speaker 2: remember when that clip was first circulating. And I can't 733 00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:13,120 Speaker 2: be sure because I haven't gone back and listened episode, 734 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:14,560 Speaker 2: but I feel like I was one of the people 735 00:36:14,600 --> 00:36:18,360 Speaker 2: that probably came down on him, and I mean, he 736 00:36:18,400 --> 00:36:21,319 Speaker 2: don't know me from pan A campaign. He probably never 737 00:36:21,360 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 2: heard the show in his life. But I apologize I 738 00:36:24,760 --> 00:36:29,080 Speaker 2: was wrong. That was that was entirely fucked up. If 739 00:36:29,440 --> 00:36:31,000 Speaker 2: if I, if I was out. 740 00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,640 Speaker 1: There like, yeah, nigga, you did this. 741 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:37,200 Speaker 2: That's so wrong. That is the opposite lesson of what 742 00:36:37,239 --> 00:36:39,719 Speaker 2: should have been learned in that moment. That was a 743 00:36:39,760 --> 00:36:42,080 Speaker 2: person coming out and saying I fucked up. 744 00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,160 Speaker 1: I was wrong for that. 745 00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,160 Speaker 2: And he even regrets, I regretting, says and I can 746 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,200 Speaker 2: never get that moment back with my daughter, like I 747 00:36:51,280 --> 00:36:55,160 Speaker 2: hurt my daughter forever with that shit. And he said 748 00:36:55,239 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 2: because the only thing she ended up learning was that 749 00:36:57,760 --> 00:37:00,759 Speaker 2: her dad couldn't be bothered because it was inconvenient. And 750 00:37:01,800 --> 00:37:04,600 Speaker 2: he was saying this in the context of telling Sway 751 00:37:04,680 --> 00:37:06,840 Speaker 2: and these other black men on these radio shows or 752 00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,880 Speaker 2: at the time were being very defensive of Bill Cosby. 753 00:37:10,080 --> 00:37:12,480 Speaker 1: He was saying it in the way of these Cosby 754 00:37:12,480 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 1: allegations to say, this is. 755 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:18,320 Speaker 2: Why we need to believe these women accusing Cosby, because 756 00:37:18,400 --> 00:37:21,759 Speaker 2: we're never gonna get these moments back of hurting them 757 00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:25,320 Speaker 2: with our disbelief. I'm sorry, but that's the opposite of 758 00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:27,560 Speaker 2: what the fuck people are been circulating that clip saying 759 00:37:28,280 --> 00:37:32,719 Speaker 2: and that is very very disingenuous, very fucked up. And 760 00:37:33,520 --> 00:37:36,040 Speaker 2: it's been years so we've had chances to correct that 761 00:37:36,239 --> 00:37:39,160 Speaker 2: and we still haven't. So the fact that people shared 762 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,200 Speaker 2: that and went aha, and that's why Monique is right, 763 00:37:42,600 --> 00:37:45,719 Speaker 2: then I don't need no facts. That says a lot 764 00:37:45,760 --> 00:37:50,880 Speaker 2: about just the gender wars, the toxicness of the internet. 765 00:37:51,040 --> 00:37:54,439 Speaker 3: Gender wars run deep. I don't think people realize how 766 00:37:54,680 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 3: much they're affected online by gender wars subconsciously and consciously. 767 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:03,960 Speaker 3: When people hear shit, they just automatically just divide the waters, divide, 768 00:38:04,000 --> 00:38:05,839 Speaker 3: and then they take they work back with them there. 769 00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:07,319 Speaker 1: Yeah, So. 770 00:38:08,920 --> 00:38:12,120 Speaker 2: I like honestly rewatching that clip because what happened is 771 00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:16,080 Speaker 2: Monique shared that cliub and this is the. 772 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:17,080 Speaker 1: Second time it's come up. 773 00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:19,480 Speaker 2: The first time that did it really came up against him, 774 00:38:19,520 --> 00:38:22,839 Speaker 2: I understood it was when he was picking on Terry 775 00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:26,359 Speaker 2: Crews for not doing anything. According to Dale Hughley, when 776 00:38:26,400 --> 00:38:29,840 Speaker 2: the man groke him at that party, even though we 777 00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,160 Speaker 2: found out that he like grabbed the dude and all 778 00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:34,560 Speaker 2: that and pushed him away and all the stuff. But 779 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:36,560 Speaker 2: Deale thought it was more funny to be like, look 780 00:38:36,560 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 2: at this big, muscle bound man and he didn't do shit. 781 00:38:38,840 --> 00:38:40,080 Speaker 1: He froze.

And 787 00:38:58,280 --> 00:39:01,160 Speaker 2: when that stuff is actually happening, you have all these theories, 788 00:39:01,200 --> 00:39:02,880 Speaker 2: but when it's happening to you, you don't know what 789 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 2: you would do. 790 00:39:03,840 --> 00:39:06,640 Speaker 1: So we all need to chill out.

Right, But they really broke down how because 1036 00:51:27,320 --> 00:51:31,319 Speaker 2: they had won, a lot of left wing media spaces 1037 00:51:31,800 --> 00:51:35,120 Speaker 2: ignored his trial because they were like, oh, it's messy, 1038 00:51:35,160 --> 00:51:39,160 Speaker 2: Oh it's just it's it's just pop culture stuff and 1039 00:51:39,320 --> 00:51:43,000 Speaker 2: missed the significance of it, which is essentially a woman 1040 00:51:43,800 --> 00:51:47,560 Speaker 2: speaking on her abuse, not even naming her abuse her, 1041 00:51:47,760 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 2: but speaking on her abuse in a way that you know, 1042 00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,799 Speaker 2: most of us knew, like she probably told about Johnny depth. 1043 00:51:55,080 --> 00:51:57,000 Speaker 1: She wrote an op ed about her abuse. 1044 00:51:58,440 --> 00:52:03,160 Speaker 2: A woman doing that can now be considered defaming the 1045 00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:10,040 Speaker 2: person who potentially abused her. Now as a precedent, that 1046 00:52:10,160 --> 00:52:14,120 Speaker 2: should be a bit that's kind of big news as 1047 00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:15,160 Speaker 2: a precedent, you. 1048 00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:19,480 Speaker 1: Know what I mean.

That is refreshing to 1299 01:04:39,240 --> 01:04:42,240 Speaker 2: hear from another black man on a consistent basis. Even 1300 01:04:42,320 --> 01:04:44,240 Speaker 2: with some of my best friends, it's difficult to push 1301 01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:46,640 Speaker 2: certain conversations forward because of some of the things that 1302 01:04:46,680 --> 01:04:49,479 Speaker 2: we grew up doing, saying, and believing were not only 1303 01:04:49,480 --> 01:04:52,600 Speaker 2: thought to be acceptable, but actual characteristics and behaviors that 1304 01:04:52,720 --> 01:04:53,600 Speaker 2: made you a man. 1305 01:04:54,280 --> 01:04:55,280 Speaker 1: So to hear you. 1306 01:04:55,800 --> 01:04:58,520 Speaker 2: Speak openly about how there are things you have learned 1307 01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:00,680 Speaker 2: over the time that are insensitive or offensive to. 1308 01:05:00,680 --> 01:05:04,200 Speaker 1: Other groups, whether it be using words like the fler or. 1309 01:05:04,120 --> 01:05:08,160 Speaker 2: Referring to women as bitches, or offering or offensive to 1310 01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,680 Speaker 2: other groups, whether it be using words oh wait, I'm sorry, 1311 01:05:11,400 --> 01:05:13,440 Speaker 2: or any other trash behavior we grew up doing. Is 1312 01:05:13,560 --> 01:05:16,800 Speaker 2: refreshing because it's not preachy, as if you're just above 1313 01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:20,480 Speaker 2: having doing done those things you now believe to be wrong. 1314 01:05:20,720 --> 01:05:23,560 Speaker 2: I hope that made sense. I think that makes sense. Yeah, 1315 01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:27,160 Speaker 2: I mean it's hard because, like one, you're never gonna 1316 01:05:27,160 --> 01:05:30,479 Speaker 2: be perfect too. Five years from now, sensibilities could change 1317 01:05:30,480 --> 01:05:34,000 Speaker 2: and we could be thinking differently about shit. And yeah, 1318 01:05:34,040 --> 01:05:36,920 Speaker 2: I did grow up saying a bunch of shit, Like 1319 01:05:37,520 --> 01:05:39,400 Speaker 2: not just saying as you said, You're not even just 1320 01:05:39,480 --> 01:05:43,720 Speaker 2: saying it, Like that was how we defined masculinity, Like 1321 01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:46,920 Speaker 2: how fucked up could you be towards women? How fucked 1322 01:05:46,960 --> 01:05:50,920 Speaker 2: up were you towards gay people? How violent were you so? 1323 01:05:51,000 --> 01:05:52,400 Speaker 1: How fucked up were you to each other? 1324 01:05:52,440 --> 01:05:55,160 Speaker 3: And it was a measurement of your masculinity. 1325 01:05:55,320 --> 01:05:57,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, and just that and what was cool? 1326 01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:00,480 Speaker 2: You know, like the coolest thing you can do is 1327 01:06:00,520 --> 01:06:04,600 Speaker 2: be fucking cold and heartless towards a woman. And shit, Meanwhile, 1328 01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:06,880 Speaker 2: those were not the things that felt cool to me 1329 01:06:07,920 --> 01:06:10,200 Speaker 2: in real life. And honestly, I think for a lot 1330 01:06:10,240 --> 01:06:12,840 Speaker 2: of them niggas, they really don't feel that those are 1331 01:06:12,840 --> 01:06:15,280 Speaker 2: the coolest things to be because you look at them 1332 01:06:15,280 --> 01:06:19,200 Speaker 2: now and you look think about like the hotel, intel, 1333 01:06:20,480 --> 01:06:23,320 Speaker 2: black man, a spear. Shit, what's it really about? If 1334 01:06:23,320 --> 01:06:26,240 Speaker 2: you get down to the core of it, what they're 1335 01:06:26,280 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 2: really saying is we won't love and affection from women. 1336 01:06:32,600 --> 01:06:40,600 Speaker 2: But so much of it is about controlling, submission, denigrating, offending, dominance. 1337 01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:45,040 Speaker 2: It's not real love because they don't really know how 1338 01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:48,800 Speaker 2: to express what real love is. And because that's not cool, 1339 01:06:49,240 --> 01:06:53,480 Speaker 2: because honestly, love is the ultimate submission. It is the ultimate, 1340 01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:56,160 Speaker 2: like I'm putting my life and my heart and my 1341 01:06:56,400 --> 01:06:59,439 Speaker 2: well being in the hands of another person, and there 1342 01:06:59,520 --> 01:07:01,160 Speaker 2: is no submission to that. 1343 01:07:01,600 --> 01:07:06,200 Speaker 1: On the other end, there's no it's the ultimate like 1344 01:07:06,440 --> 01:07:07,200 Speaker 1: it's up to you. 1345 01:07:08,080 --> 01:07:11,479 Speaker 2: That's love. It's up to you. Think about this way. 1346 01:07:13,320 --> 01:07:15,600 Speaker 2: For those of y'all that familiar love, you love it 1347 01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:19,000 Speaker 2: children and stuff. Every time your child leads the house, 1348 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,680 Speaker 2: they got your heart in the hands because they can 1349 01:07:21,720 --> 01:07:24,280 Speaker 2: go do anything and you still gonna love them.

That unconditional love 1368 01:08:18,520 --> 01:08:21,599 Speaker 3: that you have for a child because you feel like 1369 01:08:21,640 --> 01:08:23,760 Speaker 3: a child can never hurt me and disappoint me.

For Karen, I 1605 01:19:42,080 --> 01:19:43,360 Speaker 2: have one question. 1606 01:19:43,240 --> 01:19:45,760 Speaker 1: When will you give your seminar on the internet? Because 1607 01:19:45,800 --> 01:19:48,799 Speaker 1: you said a word in truth, you said so many words. 1608 01:19:48,840 --> 01:19:51,200 Speaker 2: You laid out the psychological perils of a medium that 1609 01:19:51,320 --> 01:19:54,200 Speaker 2: keeps the same survival energy of fight flight or freeze 1610 01:19:54,640 --> 01:19:58,560 Speaker 2: or the offended defending pretending strategies. When a human feels 1611 01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:00,960 Speaker 2: he or she is about to be a or shame, 1612 01:20:01,720 --> 01:20:04,639 Speaker 2: those are the energies and they simply get co opted 1613 01:20:04,680 --> 01:20:08,360 Speaker 2: to fit whatever agenda or form. So, just as you said, Karen, 1614 01:20:08,439 --> 01:20:10,240 Speaker 2: it may look different, but underneath it. 1615 01:20:10,160 --> 01:20:12,080 Speaker 1: All it's binary. 1616 01:20:12,479 --> 01:20:14,880 Speaker 2: If I'm not a victim, I'm a victim fear that 1617 01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:20,120 Speaker 2: leads anyone treading into miserable territory mostly oblivious, stuck repeating 1618 01:20:20,160 --> 01:20:25,960 Speaker 2: the same pattern bars. Yeah, Karen did say that. And 1619 01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:29,280 Speaker 2: the Internet is any of us, and it's America, and 1620 01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:32,439 Speaker 2: it's any world at war with itself inside or outside. 1621 01:20:32,439 --> 01:20:34,760 Speaker 2: The defects is just the same. You can't find peace 1622 01:20:34,760 --> 01:20:37,759 Speaker 2: when you're caught up in it. And the mind at peace, 1623 01:20:38,080 --> 01:20:40,040 Speaker 2: like a house or a place of work of peace, 1624 01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:43,160 Speaker 2: ain't nothing like it.

That would be 1642 01:21:37,439 --> 01:21:40,960 Speaker 2: a painfully naive stance that doesn't recognize that when folks 1643 01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:43,439 Speaker 2: don't see us as equal and treat us accordingly, making 1644 01:21:43,520 --> 01:21:47,000 Speaker 2: life untenable, we gotta do what we must have ensured 1645 01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:48,839 Speaker 2: that we are safe and can survive before. 1646 01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:49,439 Speaker 1: We can even thrive. 1647 01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,160 Speaker 2: To borrow from Martin Luther King, I'm talking about a 1648 01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:55,760 Speaker 2: positive peace that's possible because justice is present, and in 1649 01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,400 Speaker 2: my opinion, ain't nothing naive about trying to be just 1650 01:21:58,479 --> 01:22:00,320 Speaker 2: in any and every way we must in. 1651 01:22:00,320 --> 01:22:08,840 Speaker 1: Order to have positive peace.

In 1662 01:22:41,680 --> 01:22:44,400 Speaker 2: respond to the story about the home appraisal disparities, I 1663 01:22:44,400 --> 01:22:48,360 Speaker 2: wanted to share me and my husband's story. We closed 1664 01:22:48,360 --> 01:22:50,760 Speaker 2: on our home in December when we purchased from a 1665 01:22:50,800 --> 01:22:54,679 Speaker 2: biracial family. In the home buying process, your your being 1666 01:22:54,760 --> 01:22:57,280 Speaker 2: for a home is selected by the sellers, but it 1667 01:22:57,360 --> 01:23:00,240 Speaker 2: must be within or lower than the appraisal value of 1668 01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:01,960 Speaker 2: the home in order for the bank to honor the 1669 01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:03,600 Speaker 2: bid amount for your mortgage. 1670 01:23:03,840 --> 01:23:06,519 Speaker 1: We bid and won at four hundred and nine K. 1671 01:23:06,720 --> 01:23:10,040 Speaker 2: However, when the appraiser finally submitted the appraisal to our bank, 1672 01:23:10,080 --> 01:23:12,559 Speaker 2: he waited the average that he waited the age of 1673 01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:17,559 Speaker 2: the toilets would eventually need replacing more than the age 1674 01:23:17,560 --> 01:23:20,920 Speaker 2: of the roof recently restored, amongst a bunch of other 1675 01:23:20,960 --> 01:23:23,200 Speaker 2: frivolous things. He appraised the value of the house at 1676 01:23:23,200 --> 01:23:26,240 Speaker 2: three hundred and eight eighty K, far lower than houses 1677 01:23:26,280 --> 01:23:29,280 Speaker 2: with similar square footage and specs, and also in a 1678 01:23:29,320 --> 01:23:32,320 Speaker 2: desiral location. This meant we had to quickly go into 1679 01:23:32,360 --> 01:23:34,960 Speaker 2: another round of negotiations, where we had to decide to 1680 01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:37,439 Speaker 2: make up the costs with our new bid three hundred 1681 01:23:37,479 --> 01:23:39,840 Speaker 2: and ninety k with ten k out of pocket, or 1682 01:23:39,880 --> 01:23:43,200 Speaker 2: abandon the contract and start again after months of searching 1683 01:23:43,240 --> 01:23:46,360 Speaker 2: in a very hot market. We're also an NC. We 1684 01:23:46,439 --> 01:23:49,559 Speaker 2: wanted to appeal. We all if we wanted to appeal, 1685 01:23:49,560 --> 01:23:51,759 Speaker 2: we could only do that after the house was purchase. 1686 01:23:51,840 --> 01:23:52,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes no sense. 1687 01:23:53,160 --> 01:23:55,280 Speaker 2: Ultimately we decide to continue with the purchase. But this 1688 01:23:55,320 --> 01:23:57,559 Speaker 2: story really resonated with me because we had toward so 1689 01:23:57,560 --> 01:24:00,000 Speaker 2: many houses with black owners. It makes me want to 1690 01:24:00,040 --> 01:24:02,559 Speaker 2: They sold for the amount they should have gotten had 1691 01:24:02,840 --> 01:24:06,320 Speaker 2: had they been white. Oh and their praiser, the sellers 1692 01:24:06,320 --> 01:24:08,719 Speaker 2: supported that he only spent seven minutes in the house. 1693 01:24:08,840 --> 01:24:12,320 Speaker 1: They had a ring camera.

It's hard to make 1807 01:29:58,560 --> 01:29:59,200 Speaker 1: good TV. 1808 01:29:59,240 --> 01:30:02,519 Speaker 2: And I think every everyone sits at home, they think 1809 01:30:02,520 --> 01:30:04,760 Speaker 2: they got it all fucking figured out, they got the 1810 01:30:04,840 --> 01:30:07,040 Speaker 2: best idea, they would just write it this way and 1811 01:30:07,080 --> 01:30:10,480 Speaker 2: all this shit, and then all these people start being involved. 1812 01:30:10,560 --> 01:30:15,400 Speaker 2: You got upper management rouvals, you got motherfuckers just disagreeing 1813 01:30:15,600 --> 01:30:18,559 Speaker 2: just the same way you disagree with every job and 1814 01:30:18,600 --> 01:30:21,679 Speaker 2: then you got you know, creative artistic spaces. People got 1815 01:30:21,760 --> 01:30:24,920 Speaker 2: are sensitive, they got feelings, time constraints. 1816 01:30:24,960 --> 01:30:27,680 Speaker 3: Man, it's hard lines being changed. 1817 01:30:27,520 --> 01:30:29,000 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's hard. 1818 01:30:29,800 --> 01:30:32,040 Speaker 2: However, one thing that we all follow around the world 1819 01:30:32,080 --> 01:30:33,880 Speaker 2: is American politics. And when I tell you, the things 1820 01:30:33,880 --> 01:30:36,000 Speaker 2: happening in the US have real world consequences on the 1821 01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:38,639 Speaker 2: mental health of people living continents away, I'm not kidding. 1822 01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:40,320 Speaker 2: It breaks my heart to see people in the country 1823 01:30:40,320 --> 01:30:42,719 Speaker 2: like America taking their right to vote and the power 1824 01:30:42,760 --> 01:30:45,080 Speaker 2: that goes with it for granted. In Nigeria, we have 1825 01:30:45,120 --> 01:30:47,240 Speaker 2: an election coming up and all the candidates up for 1826 01:30:47,280 --> 01:30:49,599 Speaker 2: the offices at the national state levels are people who 1827 01:30:49,640 --> 01:30:51,120 Speaker 2: have been in power in this country for the. 1828 01:30:51,080 --> 01:30:52,240 Speaker 1: Last several decades. 1829 01:30:52,520 --> 01:30:55,400 Speaker 2: They keep passing our country around and among themselves, and 1830 01:30:55,439 --> 01:30:57,920 Speaker 2: our votes mean nothing because our elections mean nothing. All 1831 01:30:57,960 --> 01:30:59,840 Speaker 2: we can do is watch helplessly. Is they still are 1832 01:31:00,400 --> 01:31:03,080 Speaker 2: and dance on our grades. Right now, anyone with the 1833 01:31:03,160 --> 01:31:06,080 Speaker 2: means too is fleeing the country because we don't believe 1834 01:31:06,120 --> 01:31:08,519 Speaker 2: there will even be a country in a year's time. 1835 01:31:08,840 --> 01:31:10,799 Speaker 1: But most of us are stuck here with no choice. 1836 01:31:10,800 --> 01:31:13,280 Speaker 2: So when I see Americans saying they won't vote because 1837 01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:16,639 Speaker 2: they haven't been given one specific thing they want, even 1838 01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:20,000 Speaker 2: though voting means they will get closer to it. I 1839 01:31:20,040 --> 01:31:22,320 Speaker 2: can't help but feel a complete sense of hopelessness or 1840 01:31:22,320 --> 01:31:26,000 Speaker 2: the future of the world. Yet we are extremely privileged, 1841 01:31:26,040 --> 01:31:30,439 Speaker 2: I will say, and I'm trying to be more careful 1842 01:31:30,439 --> 01:31:33,639 Speaker 2: about this, but it's just it's hard. But the people 1843 01:31:33,680 --> 01:31:37,960 Speaker 2: were talking about I'm not sure how many of them 1844 01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:41,479 Speaker 2: there are, but they're so loud and they're so. 1845 01:31:42,960 --> 01:31:44,240 Speaker 1: But I don't know that. 1846 01:31:44,240 --> 01:31:48,640 Speaker 2: They represent the majority or anything, but it's enough of 1847 01:31:48,680 --> 01:31:51,760 Speaker 2: a contingent that I don't fuck with them. And I'm 1848 01:31:51,760 --> 01:31:54,679 Speaker 2: not gonna do the polite thing that all these fucking 1849 01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:57,439 Speaker 2: spineless motherfuckers out here always like. 1850 01:31:58,479 --> 01:32:00,799 Speaker 1: I mean, just don't talk about them. They don't matter anyway. 1851 01:32:01,240 --> 01:32:04,200 Speaker 2: No, I'm gonna talk about the ass because I guess 1852 01:32:04,240 --> 01:32:06,719 Speaker 2: you can make the same argument for people that vote Republican. 1853 01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:09,880 Speaker 2: To be honest, Hey, look, they don't tell why we 1854 01:32:09,920 --> 01:32:10,800 Speaker 2: got to talk about them. 1855 01:32:10,840 --> 01:32:12,200 Speaker 1: Just go vote and don't worry about it. 1856 01:32:12,400 --> 01:32:14,760 Speaker 2: I'm gonna talk about them because I think they're fundamentally wrong, 1857 01:32:14,880 --> 01:32:18,519 Speaker 2: and I think the people that the second backing them 1858 01:32:18,600 --> 01:32:20,400 Speaker 2: up are the people that sit there and don't do 1859 01:32:20,479 --> 01:32:22,360 Speaker 2: nothing but claim to be against. 1860 01:32:22,080 --> 01:32:24,400 Speaker 1: Those people, You're just as useless. 1861 01:32:25,479 --> 01:32:27,200 Speaker 2: There are so many problems in the world, but knowing 1862 01:32:27,240 --> 01:32:28,880 Speaker 2: that you can vote and it will make a difference 1863 01:32:28,920 --> 01:32:31,120 Speaker 2: as a privilege I have never known in my entire 1864 01:32:31,160 --> 01:32:33,519 Speaker 2: adult life, because since I've been old enough to vote, 1865 01:32:33,680 --> 01:32:36,360 Speaker 2: we've either had a military dictator or a former dictator 1866 01:32:36,439 --> 01:32:40,760 Speaker 2: masquerading as a democratic leader through a reg election. Each 1867 01:32:40,800 --> 01:32:42,639 Speaker 2: one is worse than the previous one, and they are 1868 01:32:42,680 --> 01:32:45,920 Speaker 2: relentless in their greed. Americans, you don't know how good 1869 01:32:45,960 --> 01:32:48,280 Speaker 2: you have it. A lot of these motherfuckers want a 1870 01:32:48,360 --> 01:32:51,760 Speaker 2: dictator as long as it's Trump. I'm sorry for randing, 1871 01:32:51,840 --> 01:32:54,280 Speaker 2: but it's something that weighs on my mind. Anytime I 1872 01:32:54,320 --> 01:32:56,280 Speaker 2: see someone talk about witholding their vote and anger and 1873 01:32:56,320 --> 01:32:59,040 Speaker 2: frustration I hear it in y'all's voices makes me just 1874 01:32:59,080 --> 01:33:01,799 Speaker 2: anger and frustrated too. I can't even go into politics 1875 01:33:01,840 --> 01:33:04,200 Speaker 2: around the very weird going culture in the US and 1876 01:33:04,240 --> 01:33:06,960 Speaker 2: how harmful it is, because that would make this email 1877 01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:09,439 Speaker 2: ten times longer. I have friends and family in the US, 1878 01:33:09,439 --> 01:33:11,400 Speaker 2: and I get so scared when I think about the 1879 01:33:11,439 --> 01:33:13,599 Speaker 2: craziness going on there right now. I hope people on 1880 01:33:13,640 --> 01:33:15,920 Speaker 2: the left start to see the Republicans will simply not 1881 01:33:16,040 --> 01:33:18,640 Speaker 2: give up, and the only way to make the country better. 1882 01:33:18,560 --> 01:33:21,000 Speaker 1: Is to vote for people that will listen when you 1883 01:33:21,080 --> 01:33:22,120 Speaker 1: cry out right. 1884 01:33:23,400 --> 01:33:25,479 Speaker 2: If there's one thing we all know is that the 1885 01:33:25,520 --> 01:33:28,640 Speaker 2: Republicans will watch while children are murdered as long as 1886 01:33:28,680 --> 01:33:31,040 Speaker 2: they get to keep power and move even one inch 1887 01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:33,760 Speaker 2: closer to their racist nirvana.
