Now, 0:01:58.600 --> 0:02:03.040 on today's episode, we are getting into all the ignorant things, 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:06.480 but also all the political things that is really driving 0:02:06.600 --> 0:02:09.040 me crazy to the point where I don't even want 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:11.200 to pick up my phone. But first, this is not 0:02:11.240 --> 0:02:14.440 a sports podcast, but we're letting you guys know about 0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:19.600 the Atlanta Hawks partnering partnering with the Magic City. That's right, 0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:25.600 somehow the NBA has allowed an NBA team to partner 0:02:25.680 --> 0:02:27.720 with a strip club and this is for the very 0:02:27.760 --> 0:02:31.280 first time in the history of the NBA. We're getting 0:02:31.280 --> 0:02:34.320 into it because you know why Atlanta is not a 0:02:34.360 --> 0:02:37.880 real place. We're also getting into Tess Johnson, who was 0:02:38.040 --> 0:02:41.440 just put on blast by his ex fiance over TikTok 0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.440 and how he wanted some throat on the day of 0:02:44.480 --> 0:02:48.800 his proposal. Then, in this is America, there is a 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:53.560 lot to get into Deepak Chopra and Epstein files, then bills, bills, bills, 0:02:53.560 --> 0:02:55.400 that's right, all the bills that are stated in the 0:02:55.400 --> 0:02:58.880 Epstein files as well. Coming out to apologize and pretty 0:02:58.960 --> 0:03:02.799 much admit to the things that we are reading in 0:03:02.840 --> 0:03:05.880 these files. We are going to talk about it because 0:03:05.880 --> 0:03:09.440 it needs to be discussed, because apparently this might be 0:03:09.520 --> 0:03:13.560 why there's missiles. I think that the American government is 0:03:13.600 --> 0:03:18.440 trying to distract us from these files by now apparently 0:03:18.520 --> 0:03:21.400 putting us into World War three. 0:03:21.560 --> 0:03:26.120 Have you ever had a dreams that that you you had, 0:03:26.560 --> 0:03:31.720 you you could you do you want you you could do? 0:03:31.880 --> 0:03:31.960 So? 0:03:32.240 --> 0:03:34.160 I think that's where we headed.

Yeah, the idea of like 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:09.240 exceptional negroes. 0:17:09.400 --> 0:17:12.320 It's like some of y'all niggas are valid and some 0:17:12.359 --> 0:17:17.600 of y'all niggas are invalid because you don't have podcasts. 0:17:18.359 --> 0:17:19.440 I mean, what. 0:17:21.359 --> 0:17:24.480 Damn that was on the dock. 0:17:24.320 --> 0:17:28.840 In today though, I mean what y'all are saying? 0:17:28.920 --> 0:17:31.159 We still got them type niggas well, we got all 0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.000 over the place though, all over the pest. And that's 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.520 where the whole gate keeping thing comes into play kind 0:17:37.520 --> 0:17:40.919 of in certain aspects because some of the people who 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:43.600 fit that requirement they do that ship. 0:17:43.880 --> 0:17:45.440 They keep the talented niggas out. 0:17:46.040 --> 0:17:50.000 Yeah, yeah, the exceptional negro And what does that look like? 0:17:50.040 --> 0:17:51.160 Who are the exceptional? 0:17:51.200 --> 0:17:52.879 And the thing about it is is that it's I 0:17:52.920 --> 0:17:55.560 think exceptional. I think we except I think would we. 0:17:55.600 --> 0:17:57.359 Be considered exceptional negroes? 0:17:57.560 --> 0:17:57.840 No? 0:17:57.880 --> 0:17:59.959 Not to them, I don't think. No, we rebel rouses. 0:18:00.359 --> 0:18:03.639 They don't want, they don't want. We're not conformists. But 0:18:03.720 --> 0:18:05.239 I have degrees that that. 0:18:05.720 --> 0:18:07.840 But it's not that. Okay, that's. 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.480 A part of them is also like the level of education. 0:18:12.240 --> 0:18:14.679 Are you willing to curb your tongue? But as it 0:18:14.720 --> 0:18:16.280 relates to the program. 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:18.520 And also it's like, yeah, it's your level of education, 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:20.520 but it's how you carry it, like the same way 0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:23.560 you were talking about how a morehouse man carries himself 0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:26.000 as a more house man, like do you carry that thing? 0:18:26.560 --> 0:18:27.640 And it's funny were even. 0:18:27.440 --> 0:18:31.960 Talking about this because I was just listening to Deontay 0:18:32.040 --> 0:18:35.000 Kyle's podcast he just did with ft Signifier, and the 0:18:35.160 --> 0:18:37.240 conversation they had in the middle of that is eft 0:18:37.359 --> 0:18:41.080 signifier is a YouTube essay is really smart brother, lots 0:18:41.119 --> 0:18:44.360 of good videos. But he has three degrees like he's 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.800 a sociologist. He was on his way to a PhD 0:18:46.920 --> 0:18:50.680 when he quit his PhD program to do YouTube. Deonte 0:18:51.840 --> 0:18:54.639 is not college educated at all. He on a podcast 0:18:54.720 --> 0:18:56.920 truck driver. He talked about graduating from high school like 0:18:56.960 --> 0:19:00.520 at one point eight g p A. But Deonnay had 0:19:00.560 --> 0:19:04.960 the curiosity to go learn to read absorb information, and 0:19:05.040 --> 0:19:07.879 to me, that makes him exceptional. Damn the degrees and 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.200 all that ship. But some of these talented TIF type 0:19:10.280 --> 0:19:14.399 niggas would look at him with a bunch of tattoos 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.080 and locks and his whole way he comes across and 0:19:17.119 --> 0:19:21.520 presents himself as not of the elk of the exceptional 0:19:21.600 --> 0:19:22.400 Negro and all. 0:19:22.280 --> 0:19:24.040 The other people who believe in that type of sho. 0:19:24.080 --> 0:19:25.920 Would you say the talented tenth is adjacent to the 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:29.160 house nigga? It doesn't have to be, but it can 0:19:29.240 --> 0:19:29.880 be for sure. 0:19:31.480 --> 0:19:34.280 But even because like. 0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.920 Some of those niggas act like that they are above 0:19:39.000 --> 0:19:42.920 certain parts of Black culture, certain parts of how we communicate, 0:19:42.920 --> 0:19:45.959 how we talk amongst ourselves. They act like they're those 0:19:46.000 --> 0:19:47.600 the same type of niggas that would be embarrassed at 0:19:47.600 --> 0:19:51.520 Captain do Rag. That's that to me, that's the type 0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:55.000 of ship that there them niggas like. And so it's like, 0:19:55.040 --> 0:19:58.520 I can't rock with that. I'm not I'm all of 0:19:58.560 --> 0:20:00.479 that type of ship. Like that's not that's not helpful 0:20:00.480 --> 0:20:03.360 to anybody's program. And at the end of the day, 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:06.119 we need all of us, Like if your brother is not, 0:20:06.680 --> 0:20:09.320 if your brother is not to that level, bring that nigga. 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:12.920 Up, you know, you know, And I guess Black History Month, 0:20:13.920 --> 0:20:15.919 it ain't no month, it's just forever, bro, It's just 0:20:16.160 --> 0:20:16.880 it's ongoing. 0:20:16.920 --> 0:20:21.400 I'll struggle. Our commitment to repair is ongoing. 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:23.440 Yeah, There was a book called The Destruction of the 0:20:23.480 --> 0:20:26.560 Black Civilization by Chancellor Williams, and in the book he 0:20:26.600 --> 0:20:29.760 talks about how at some point as we us our 0:20:29.840 --> 0:20:32.520 nation building, we got to come to a consensus and say, yo, 0:20:33.440 --> 0:20:36.840 they gotta go because they're they're impeding our progress, meaning 0:20:36.920 --> 0:20:40.840 they anybody who are you know, the peasant. 0:20:40.560 --> 0:20:45.800 Tours, the crazy you know what I'm saying, the peasant tours. 0:20:45.840 --> 0:20:48.720 They're like, we gotta deal with that because we can't 0:20:48.800 --> 0:20:52.160 keep going this way because we're still they're still there 0:20:52.600 --> 0:20:54.560 and as long as they have money and power, we 0:20:54.640 --> 0:20:55.240 got to have to. 0:20:55.160 --> 0:20:56.119 Go through that. 0:20:56.119 --> 0:21:00.200 That's separate the way that segregation.
