I can't tell me. Welcome to another phenomenal 9 00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 1: episode of My Mama Told Old Me, the podcast where 10 00:01:02,440 --> 00:01:06,200 Speaker 1: we dive deep, deep into the pockets of black conspiracy 11 00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: theories and we finally work to prove that the S 12 00:01:10,160 --> 00:01:13,080 Speaker 1: in a S curl does in fact stand for sprite. 13 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 1: Follow the money, follow the bubbles, people. This thing goes 14 00:01:17,520 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: all the way to the top. I'm taping for it. 15 00:01:21,880 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 1: I'm like these ns as I'm understanding you correctly, they're 16 00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: they're dipping their hair in sprite, and that's what keeps 17 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:33,840 Speaker 1: it juicy and luxurious. I think that it is. I 18 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:38,640 Speaker 1: don't think it's spright as we drink it like. I 19 00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: think it's early in the sprite process. But yes, yeah, 20 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,280 Speaker 1: I got you. It's the way that like those rubber 21 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:49,080 Speaker 1: bouncy balls start off as a liquid then they become 22 00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:53,160 Speaker 1: that you're saying that that we're getting sprite remixed at 23 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 1: its most remixed, like you know, crude oil. I think 24 00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:03,000 Speaker 1: that s curl is spright. Yeah, that makes that makes 25 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,279 Speaker 1: perfect sense to me. I can already tell our guests 26 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:08,359 Speaker 1: today he has thoughts on this, So chump in fuck 27 00:02:08,400 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: it well, will intro. You have to.

I'm just thinking of which part 29 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: of the process, because the more you get into the 30 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,560 Speaker 1: crude part of sprite, I'm thinking of the fruit, right, 31 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:22,400 Speaker 1: and I'm like, this could be possible if you stick 32 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,040 Speaker 1: to the natural part of it, that they could be different, 33 00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:33,120 Speaker 1: like blueberries from from coming to America, like the right. 34 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,920 Speaker 1: But once you get to the fruit to fruit toast 35 00:02:36,919 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 1: corn serve, I'm like, damn, you know no I'm saying. 36 00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,920 Speaker 1: I'm saying it's right after they put the bubbles in, 37 00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:46,960 Speaker 1: I think, but I don't know when the bubbles come in. 38 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,120 Speaker 1: Like That's why it's such a funny answer, because because 39 00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:54,000 Speaker 1: niggas don't know how pop is made. So we're sitting 40 00:02:54,040 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: here like, dude, the bubbles go first or is that 41 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,239 Speaker 1: is that the finishing time you are that They don't 42 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: want you to know. They don't want you to know. Bro, 43 00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:05,960 Speaker 1: it's pro proprietary blend. If you knew when the bubbles 44 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 1: went in, you could make your own as curl. That's 45 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:12,959 Speaker 1: that's where it goes to the top.

Yeah, 99 00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:40,240 Speaker 1: I only got one IoT to say, are those mass producers. 100 00:06:46,040 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: We're so happy you're here, stank hoodie or not you you? 101 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: I love this special You're great. I think you came 102 00:06:54,960 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: to us with a conspiracy theory that is very I 103 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:02,080 Speaker 1: feel like it's gonna get us into into a heavy 104 00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 1: conversation right away, which I'm excited about. You said, my 105 00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: mama told me the United States isn't a racist country. Yeah, 106 00:07:18,200 --> 00:07:24,200 Speaker 1: tell me more. Oh, don't make me lead off, go ahead. 107 00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,440 Speaker 1: It's just coming from a place of like a different 108 00:07:27,440 --> 00:07:31,239 Speaker 1: conscience too, when being able to experience America not as 109 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,320 Speaker 1: a thing of race, but a thing of like money. 110 00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:38,040 Speaker 1: I think once you get past race, this country becomes 111 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: very it's like an open market, you know. I look 112 00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:45,960 Speaker 1: at the beginning of this country, which started on slavery 113 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:49,200 Speaker 1: and those things which you know too some is racial, 114 00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: but to the overall thing, it's really like you know, money, 115 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:58,400 Speaker 1: It's like cargo and like livestock. So you know, that's 116 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,840 Speaker 1: the basis in the in and of my theory. You know, 117 00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:07,000 Speaker 1: Wall Street and the history of America is built on 118 00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:11,600 Speaker 1: the backs of live stock, which was slaves, you know 119 00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,480 Speaker 1: what I mean. I think race came into it later on, 120 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: and I think they used race to keep us fighting 121 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:20,840 Speaker 1: amongst each other while the money is still being made. 122 00:08:21,320 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: So you're, but if they're employing race, then doesn't that 123 00:08:24,120 --> 00:08:27,440 Speaker 1: make it a racist country. No, because a lot of 124 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: people from different races come over and become very, very wealthy, 125 00:08:31,640 --> 00:08:34,800 Speaker 1: and they just keep quiet about it. Oh you're you're 126 00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,920 Speaker 1: saying that that they're not unwilling to let all races succeed. 127 00:08:40,120 --> 00:08:43,280 Speaker 1: It is just simply a point a decision of advantage 128 00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 1: that like we took advantage of a thing, we maintain 129 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 1: this advantage. Whoever makes it in makes it in. But 130 00:08:49,480 --> 00:08:52,880 Speaker 1: it is truly a money conversation that built our wants 131 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 1: and needs that led to everything else. And I think 132 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:57,880 Speaker 1: that's still I think some of that is still going 133 00:08:57,960 --> 00:09:01,120 Speaker 1: on underneath race. I think they used used to, you know, 134 00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: keep us fighting amongst each other, you know. And it's 135 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 1: the two it's really two of the poorest groups that 136 00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:10,040 Speaker 1: deal with racism. You know what you are like the 137 00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,199 Speaker 1: I want to say, the poor whites and the poor blacks. 138 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,680 Speaker 1: We're doing the pandemic. When I went to Utah, I 139 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 1: was scared, you know what I mean, because I thought 140 00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:23,200 Speaker 1: I was gonna run into all the proud boys and 141 00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 1: stuff and it was just wide open. But but was 142 00:09:27,679 --> 00:09:29,800 Speaker 1: that a function and is your point to say that 143 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,120 Speaker 1: that was a function of your your economic position in 144 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:37,120 Speaker 1: this country now or is that more just you don't 145 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: think the racism was even available to be experienced. I 146 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 1: don't think it was out when you're in the woods. 147 00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: It's other stuff that's important, you know exactly, you know 148 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:54,080 Speaker 1: what I mean. So that's like, you know, and you 149 00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:56,840 Speaker 1: think bears are racist. I don't know. I don't know 150 00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:03,319 Speaker 1: enough bears to decide yet exactly. Go to San Francisco. 151 00:10:03,400 --> 00:10:06,520 Speaker 1: You'll meet song and they ain't racist at all. No, No, 152 00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: quite the opposite. They all like booty hole, you know 153 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:15,240 Speaker 1: what I mean. And techno music. Yeah, that's true. So 154 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: I think once you get into the to the the 155 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:23,079 Speaker 1: human aspect of it, that we were not a racist country. Now, 156 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,840 Speaker 1: once you know, governments and stuff get involved, then maybe. 157 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,319 Speaker 1: But I'm not a voter or nothing like that. I'm 158 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: from a place where people carry arms and do all 159 00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,079 Speaker 1: types of stuff, you know, Right, So you you're saying 160 00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:39,200 Speaker 1: that that either way, you wouldn't be leaning on sort 161 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,679 Speaker 1: of resolving things, and in a political sense that like 162 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,440 Speaker 1: this is simply a person to person exchanged for you. 163 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:50,960 Speaker 1: Not yet spiritually. I think we're not even spiritually. But uh, 164 00:10:51,000 --> 00:10:53,920 Speaker 1: in the Contract of America, it shows where black people 165 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,360 Speaker 1: stand right so, and now everybody's trying to go back 166 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:01,440 Speaker 1: and change the contract. And it's been like what however 167 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,440 Speaker 1: many years and being five hundred years or whatever, somebody 168 00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:11,160 Speaker 1: look it up and correct me. But you at least 169 00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:15,400 Speaker 1: doubled it. But I like, I like the instinct. Yeah, 170 00:11:15,559 --> 00:11:19,440 Speaker 1: so I think um. For me personally, I don't. I 171 00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: can't look at it. I can't look at race. I 172 00:11:21,720 --> 00:11:25,120 Speaker 1: have to look at certain other things and other ways, 173 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:29,559 Speaker 1: which is socio economics to even help my people. Oh 174 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 1: I see you. Yeah. To some extent, it does feel 175 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:40,200 Speaker 1: like these calls for racial justice are a a continually 176 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: losing game that it's like you're asking a bunch of 177 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,680 Speaker 1: people already playing a very finished game for them to 178 00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: suddenly like revamp. It's like when Uno came out with 179 00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:52,360 Speaker 1: them rules that they were like, actually, you can't put 180 00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: a skip on top of a skip or whatever the funk, 181 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,760 Speaker 1: and it's like, yeah, you know, but I already made 182 00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:00,840 Speaker 1: my rules at home. I don't give a fuck what 183 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,080 Speaker 1: you got going now in the rule book. I play stacks. 184 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,160 Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. They said stacks are illegal in 185 00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:10,880 Speaker 1: the UN rules. But it's like, bro, you want me 186 00:12:10,920 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: to up end my household. It's a version of like 187 00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,480 Speaker 1: when when New York had the rap game on Smash, 188 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:20,960 Speaker 1: say New York hip hop as white people, and then 189 00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,440 Speaker 1: other people want to get in, and then New York like, no, 190 00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:26,880 Speaker 1: this is all ship. We started it, run it, you 191 00:12:26,920 --> 00:12:28,640 Speaker 1: know what I mean. And then when the South got it, 192 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:32,320 Speaker 1: we gotta hold onto it now. So we did it independently. 193 00:12:32,360 --> 00:12:35,200 Speaker 1: Houston did independent these things. So I think as a 194 00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:38,120 Speaker 1: as a culture, we gotta find ways to get all 195 00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:43,040 Speaker 1: hold on the game and do what was done. M hm. 196 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,439 Speaker 1: So race ain't even involved in that. It's all social economics, 197 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 1: is buying a politician and all those other things that 198 00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:53,679 Speaker 1: you see other coaches do. Because there wasn't a lot 199 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:56,000 Speaker 1: of cultures weren't like when they came to Motherfucker either. 200 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,000 Speaker 1: Nobody started at the dirt that black people did, though 201 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:04,080 Speaker 1: maybe the Chinese, but right like, nobody came from completely underneath. Yeah, 202 00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:06,800 Speaker 1: I wouldn't even say the Chinese, like even their their 203 00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 1: relationships to this country didn't originate at uh at like 204 00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 1: a physical abuse. It. It started at like exchange and 205 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:19,079 Speaker 1: then like no one had a greater distance to travel, 206 00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:23,000 Speaker 1: is all, is what I'm saying. Like, I mean so 207 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:26,720 Speaker 1: even socially right, even like via public perception and stuff 208 00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:29,880 Speaker 1: like that, Like they still came in here like as people. 209 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:35,120 Speaker 1: I agree with that. You that's somebody comparing themselves to others, right, 210 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,280 Speaker 1: But I'm like, we got we got we got people. 211 00:13:38,720 --> 00:13:42,760 Speaker 1: We're gonna travel the furthest were the more gifted in 212 00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: the world. You know, you go around the world, they know, 213 00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:49,520 Speaker 1: they know who we are. Let me ask. But I 214 00:13:49,559 --> 00:13:52,600 Speaker 1: feel like that's internal. That's not like the country, Like 215 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,920 Speaker 1: I I feel what you're saying. I do think the 216 00:13:55,040 --> 00:13:58,360 Speaker 1: country is racist. I think that to like subvert it, 217 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:01,360 Speaker 1: we need to not pay attention, like and it should 218 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,960 Speaker 1: be more socio economic and whatnot. But I don't want 219 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,679 Speaker 1: to let the country off the hook for like serious 220 00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:10,160 Speaker 1: trans you're not letting them off the hook. But you're moving, 221 00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:14,720 Speaker 1: You're you're moving like other coaches move, like moving like 222 00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: how gangsters moved quietly, you know, like old school gangsters. 223 00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:22,280 Speaker 1: They move quietly. You know, by the time you figure 224 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:24,320 Speaker 1: out what's going on, they got to shoot on lock already. 225 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:28,560 Speaker 1: Let me ask you this question when you say spiritual nigga, 226 00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:31,760 Speaker 1: because it does feel like this is a very spiritual argument, 227 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 1: or at least approach to the argument that then takes 228 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:38,240 Speaker 1: you into sort of identifying the socio economic at the 229 00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 1: root of this. What do you mean? What? What? What? 230 00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:45,480 Speaker 1: What exactly is the spiritual you're identifying with connecting to 231 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 1: that that other people should be understanding in order to 232 00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,680 Speaker 1: like make this makes sense for them. Oh well, it's 233 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,120 Speaker 1: think of a circle, right, Think of the word spiritual 234 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,760 Speaker 1: nigga one after another, right, and I think, and then 235 00:14:57,800 --> 00:15:01,960 Speaker 1: you draw a circle around that, right, And it's not 236 00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 1: that you're just this one thing. Think of it as 237 00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,800 Speaker 1: a spectrum. For me, I'm on that spectrum. Sometimes I 238 00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,240 Speaker 1: could be spiritual, sometimes could be a nigga, depend on 239 00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: who I'm dealing with. Yeah, And when I was doing 240 00:15:15,640 --> 00:15:17,920 Speaker 1: a special, they wanted to take out the nigga part. 241 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:19,720 Speaker 1: But I'm like, I'm not full of spiritual. I don't 242 00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,320 Speaker 1: want no nigga run. Yeah, I won't like like you 243 00:15:24,360 --> 00:15:29,360 Speaker 1: know this nig Wait a minute, he's a Yeah, that's 244 00:15:29,360 --> 00:15:32,120 Speaker 1: how that's the problem that love had love should have 245 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,480 Speaker 1: been loved nigga. When he when he choked somebody, they'd 246 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 1: be like, Oh, he's on this, he's triggered. He's in 247 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: this part, you know what I mean. Yeah, he needs 248 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 1: to be able to move in both worlds. Yeah, well 249 00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:46,200 Speaker 1: it's it's a yeah, it's ah, that's the spiritual part 250 00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:51,320 Speaker 1: because it's about transcending. And but still you're not left behind, 251 00:15:51,560 --> 00:15:54,680 Speaker 1: right Like I still might kill an animal to eat, 252 00:15:55,520 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: you know, but one feeds another. That's why I said 253 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 1: it's it's a circle man out when it comes to 254 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:02,840 Speaker 1: the way the world operates, and I've been fortunate enough 255 00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:04,800 Speaker 1: to move around the world. It is some countries that 256 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: go by beliefs versus race, but that's still a tool 257 00:16:09,480 --> 00:16:13,000 Speaker 1: used to separate people. So you start to see patterns 258 00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,360 Speaker 1: of that within the world. And the people of true 259 00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,080 Speaker 1: power who are quiet. We might know a name, but 260 00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:20,240 Speaker 1: we might we don't know what a roth Child looked like. 261 00:16:20,640 --> 00:16:22,680 Speaker 1: We know what they are by name, We don't know 262 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:25,840 Speaker 1: what Rockefell looked like. These are true power. You know, 263 00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 1: if you look up the top four hundred people, four 264 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,000 Speaker 1: hundred bion as in the in the United States alone, 265 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:34,480 Speaker 1: the people we know beion as that we celebrate and 266 00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: even on the list right, you know what I mean, 267 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:39,360 Speaker 1: because like, how do you equate it? Right? They say, 268 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: like Prutin is the most rich person in the in 269 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:43,760 Speaker 1: the world, that it's because you don't know where all 270 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,040 Speaker 1: this money is, right, Yeah, And that's how it is. 271 00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 1: It's like it's one thing that says like own nothing, 272 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: control everything, m And I leave y'all with that nothing 273 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,360 Speaker 1: in your name, but you make decisions on it. That's 274 00:16:58,360 --> 00:17:02,080 Speaker 1: where trust and olden companies and all these things come from. 275 00:17:02,120 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: So the more I educate myself and I follow guys 276 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,320 Speaker 1: like like Indula and earn your leasures and these guys, 277 00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: and I give back two people and just just to 278 00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:15,119 Speaker 1: get them thinking, you know what I mean. So for 279 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:18,000 Speaker 1: me and I think, for us to survive, we have 280 00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: to get off some of that race train, cause we 281 00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: know it exists already. We we like, you know, we 282 00:17:23,160 --> 00:17:26,600 Speaker 1: generations into the United States. So how long we're gonna 283 00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:31,680 Speaker 1: lean on it versus like you know, fight? Yeah, I 284 00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,159 Speaker 1: do think and and this, I guess is what I 285 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,959 Speaker 1: was identifying in the the spiritual negative approach to this 286 00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,520 Speaker 1: economic conversation is I do think that it's root what 287 00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: you're arguing is that we need to shift our our lens. 288 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,639 Speaker 1: We have to change our perspective in order to access 289 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:52,600 Speaker 1: the a real opportunity to grow, versus one that is 290 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 1: going to keep us in a cycle of abuse and 291 00:17:55,280 --> 00:17:59,919 Speaker 1: and self sort of like sabotage to constantly asking for 292 00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,400 Speaker 1: a race to fix itself. Well, we have to fix 293 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:05,199 Speaker 1: it within ourselves. Right, It's a conflict within us. And 294 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:08,640 Speaker 1: once we understand that that that that's the war, that's 295 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 1: the spiritual nig of war. You know, Once we had 296 00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: peace with that, then we can have peace with other 297 00:18:14,200 --> 00:18:17,200 Speaker 1: some other things and learn how to accept like, this 298 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,960 Speaker 1: is what's going on, you know. And I kind of 299 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,840 Speaker 1: did that. I was like, oh, I'm in a racist country, 300 00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:26,080 Speaker 1: so to speak. This just this, just this is the 301 00:18:26,119 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: game I play. Now, how do I survive within this? 302 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:32,480 Speaker 1: If this doesn't change? That makes sense, Like, if racism 303 00:18:32,480 --> 00:18:35,399 Speaker 1: don't change, how can I get the same success that 304 00:18:35,720 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 1: now other people that look like me have who made 305 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: it through this thing, who don't necessarily get a game 306 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:44,240 Speaker 1: back to each other? You know. So yeah, that's that's 307 00:18:44,280 --> 00:18:47,280 Speaker 1: one thing. That's one way to look at it spiritually. Also, 308 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:55,280 Speaker 1: learning that compound interest isn't racist. This went from very 309 00:18:55,440 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: specific compound interest isn't racist, you know what I mean. 310 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 1: I didn't know that it was, That's what I'm saying. No, 311 00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:06,800 Speaker 1: I mean I never I never knew that there was 312 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,119 Speaker 1: I never I guess I never thought about it. What 313 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying, you never think of how people think of 314 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:14,440 Speaker 1: these old these old nagas or Grandma who bought a 315 00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,480 Speaker 1: house for sixty K and it's worth two hundred k. 316 00:19:16,880 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 1: These aren't racist things. You know. This ain't feeling based. 317 00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:25,120 Speaker 1: So when I say shift the mind or with shrooms 318 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: did for me. It allowed me to see the spectrum 319 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: of the game that we're in and know that we 320 00:19:30,560 --> 00:19:32,560 Speaker 1: can still live a lifestyle the type of life we 321 00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:36,240 Speaker 1: want to live without sitting on a piece of grass 322 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:40,080 Speaker 1: with a sign. We can help each other quietly, we 323 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:45,040 Speaker 1: can give each other jobs quietly. I would say this, 324 00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:48,200 Speaker 1: this episode has a potential to be more far, more 325 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:56,840 Speaker 1: motivational than any episode we've we've come across so far, spiritual. 326 00:19:57,200 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: I think we're gonna take a break, We're gonna we're 327 00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:03,119 Speaker 1: gonna read, regroup, We're gonna figure this. I feel good, 328 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,960 Speaker 1: but also terrified. We're gonna take a second. We'll be 329 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 1: back with more. Byron Bowers and more, my mama told me. 330 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:29,240 Speaker 1: And we are back. Yeah, we're back, Bowers more. My 331 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,800 Speaker 1: mama told me. We're still talking about the possibility that 332 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:36,800 Speaker 1: the United States is in fact not a racist country 333 00:20:37,080 --> 00:20:40,280 Speaker 1: the way that it has been argued and presented for 334 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:44,000 Speaker 1: years and years and years. Would you say that this 335 00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,840 Speaker 1: is a recent not a racist country or was it 336 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:50,880 Speaker 1: at one point a racist country? Like at what point 337 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:55,720 Speaker 1: did that transition happen for you in terms of our history. 338 00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,920 Speaker 1: Just learning the socio economic things that happened, like it's 339 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:03,280 Speaker 1: cold game, right, I learned and I got jokes about 340 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: now that when slavery ended. When slavery ended, that was 341 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 1: the first time black people were the wealthiest in this 342 00:21:11,359 --> 00:21:15,040 Speaker 1: country because all the white men went to Civil War 343 00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:18,160 Speaker 1: in the South, and when they came back they had 344 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:20,919 Speaker 1: to find jobs and had no skills. Who had all 345 00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,200 Speaker 1: the skills black people who were the cowboys. We sucked 346 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:27,560 Speaker 1: their wives, We cooked the food, we did everything, you 347 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:34,680 Speaker 1: know what I mean, right, But we didn't know banking. 348 00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: We didn't know banking and stuff, so we didn't know 349 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 1: what to do with all wealth. That was one of 350 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,480 Speaker 1: the first times in the history of all wealth got stolen. 351 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:47,399 Speaker 1: So realizing that and realizing the stuff that happened after 352 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:49,800 Speaker 1: that that give us fear to hire money under the 353 00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: matches and do those things instead of learned to like, oh, 354 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,800 Speaker 1: get our own banks and do this and do that. 355 00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:59,720 Speaker 1: I think that's what shifted for me. And we also 356 00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:02,200 Speaker 1: had you know, Black Wall Street and these other things. 357 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:04,720 Speaker 1: We had at least three times that our wealth has 358 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,919 Speaker 1: been taken from us. We had our own city and destroyed, 359 00:22:08,119 --> 00:22:10,800 Speaker 1: you know, put on the lake Central Park, all these 360 00:22:11,119 --> 00:22:13,959 Speaker 1: uh tybee islands and savanna that was given to all 361 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: the slaves. Think all the land that was given to 362 00:22:15,800 --> 00:22:18,720 Speaker 1: the slaves. But all that, all that to me is 363 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: symbolism of a racist country, the fact that all that 364 00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:27,639 Speaker 1: happened without consequence. But it happens in other countries too. Now, 365 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:30,240 Speaker 1: other countries could be racist. I'm not, I'm not. I don't. 366 00:22:30,240 --> 00:22:31,679 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't think we I don't think we 367 00:22:31,760 --> 00:22:34,639 Speaker 1: hold the pattern on it by anyone. And I also, 368 00:22:34,840 --> 00:22:37,000 Speaker 1: but I agree with everything you're saying. I do think 369 00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:40,280 Speaker 1: that a perspective shift is necessary. I just don't want 370 00:22:40,280 --> 00:22:43,359 Speaker 1: to let like it does need to be acknowledged that 371 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: that ship is real. You know what I'm saying, Oh, 372 00:22:46,040 --> 00:22:50,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be real when you start on them niggas. 373 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,679 Speaker 1: When when they see you walking down the street with 374 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:00,720 Speaker 1: your kids, you know what I mean, they to father. 375 00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:04,399 Speaker 1: You know, that's the way, you know, uh, that's how 376 00:23:04,400 --> 00:23:08,399 Speaker 1: I was, you know, done on the loaf. So you 377 00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:11,480 Speaker 1: you mentioned the other countries, and I think that this 378 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:14,639 Speaker 1: is sort of the jumping off point that I that 379 00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,520 Speaker 1: I took in terms of the research. But the biggest 380 00:23:17,600 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 1: question that came to mind when I heard the conspiracy 381 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:25,000 Speaker 1: theory you're presenting is how we're impairing racism quote unquote 382 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:28,120 Speaker 1: to a more international or in relation to a more 383 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,520 Speaker 1: international scale, right, which made me ask the question, are 384 00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 1: people more racist in other countries? And I found this 385 00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 1: two thousands at the Canadians. Finally, I wish I could 386 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,159 Speaker 1: tell you that is the case, my guy. But but 387 00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:45,280 Speaker 1: so this two thousand thirteen to article from the Washington 388 00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 1: Post to Swedish scientists basically use something called the World 389 00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:53,480 Speaker 1: Value Survey that like is meant to measure global attitudes 390 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: and and opinions, And specifically they honed in on one 391 00:23:57,119 --> 00:23:59,600 Speaker 1: question on the survey, which they believed sort of largely 392 00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:03,159 Speaker 1: indicate did racial tolerance And the question was would you 393 00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 1: want someone of a different race as your neighbor. That 394 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,960 Speaker 1: was the big question they wanted to know, could you 395 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: could you accept a neighbor that is not of the 396 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:18,280 Speaker 1: same race. I'll pause here to let y'all ingest whatever 397 00:24:18,320 --> 00:24:21,879 Speaker 1: the funk that question is for you. Oh yeah, I 398 00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:24,960 Speaker 1: don't care. Now that doesn't know. I mean I I 399 00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:28,400 Speaker 1: wasn't expecting you to say something different. Oh. I was saying, like, 400 00:24:28,520 --> 00:24:31,760 Speaker 1: what do I think the global tone is? Or rather, yeah, 401 00:24:32,240 --> 00:24:34,720 Speaker 1: this is the chance to start guessing, maybe is who 402 00:24:34,720 --> 00:24:38,280 Speaker 1: do you think is I I don't know. I have 403 00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: a belief in people and I want for people to 404 00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:43,600 Speaker 1: be good, So I think globally, I think like if 405 00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,640 Speaker 1: you took the tone of everyone, I think most people 406 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,880 Speaker 1: are okay with it, as I know. But I'm from 407 00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:53,320 Speaker 1: the South. I'm a son of the Golden West baby 408 00:24:53,560 --> 00:25:00,720 Speaker 1: specifically specifically Atlanta, Georgia, if you know. That's all us. Now. 409 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:05,040 Speaker 1: Now that has shifted from me right because I'm in 410 00:25:05,080 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: an Armenian neighborhood so now, and my girlfriend is Israeli. 411 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:13,560 Speaker 1: So now it becomes a value thing. You want neighbors 412 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: with the same value system right as you. So it 413 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:21,959 Speaker 1: hasn't It might have shift coachly, but it hasn't shift 414 00:25:22,720 --> 00:25:25,399 Speaker 1: like if as if I was in the south, Like 415 00:25:25,440 --> 00:25:27,560 Speaker 1: a lot of my neighbors still own guns, they still 416 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,200 Speaker 1: own small businesses, and when the ship here the fan, 417 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:33,240 Speaker 1: which it won't, they know how to respond in a 418 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:36,240 Speaker 1: way that my nigg is from the southwood mm hmm. 419 00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:39,639 Speaker 1: So you see you're saying that about the Armenians or 420 00:25:39,760 --> 00:25:43,639 Speaker 1: just like Armenians, and it's a few Koreans over here too, 421 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,320 Speaker 1: and you know how the Koreans get down? You know 422 00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,760 Speaker 1: what I mean I saying? Did I say that? Right? 423 00:25:48,800 --> 00:25:51,480 Speaker 1: I saying, y'all, I don't know. I'm not going to 424 00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 1: be the point of reference on this, you too, So 425 00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 1: what the survey everything we say, I am in no 426 00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:08,359 Speaker 1: way affiliated with North Korea. One of the things that 427 00:26:08,400 --> 00:26:12,679 Speaker 1: the that the data found is that, based on on 428 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:17,760 Speaker 1: the information of eighty countries that they surveyed, countries like 429 00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 1: the US, the UK, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and even 430 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:25,320 Speaker 1: a lot of Latin American countries minus Venezuela and the 431 00:26:25,359 --> 00:26:30,200 Speaker 1: Dominican Republic were actually the most racially tolerant on the list. 432 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,959 Speaker 1: I could believe that. I don't think other places are 433 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,440 Speaker 1: as much of melting pots as we are either Europe 434 00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,880 Speaker 1: America and then like I don't, I don't, I don't 435 00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:43,720 Speaker 1: think most places are nearly as racially diverse. Like bro 436 00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:46,200 Speaker 1: I was, I was shocked by that. Mexico. I'm shocked 437 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: by shocked, you know what I mean. Yeah, they said, 438 00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:57,280 Speaker 1: they said the Dominican probably because of Haiti and also 439 00:26:57,400 --> 00:27:01,680 Speaker 1: like the they're not black, the colorless ship that happens 440 00:27:01,720 --> 00:27:06,000 Speaker 1: there where they go out, and that surprised me about Mexico. 441 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: And I went to the d R you know, I mean, 442 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,479 Speaker 1: I've been to the d R before and uh, you know, 443 00:27:10,560 --> 00:27:17,200 Speaker 1: bless bless everyone and d R bless all the Haitians 444 00:27:17,200 --> 00:27:19,480 Speaker 1: because it was a Haitian dude that really opened my 445 00:27:19,560 --> 00:27:21,880 Speaker 1: eyes because a lot of the Haitians in the DAR 446 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:23,800 Speaker 1: was not a lot of them, but the ones that 447 00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:25,560 Speaker 1: I would run into it in the town I was at, 448 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,720 Speaker 1: but asked for change and they knew I was from 449 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: America and they was like, he showed me his scars 450 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:32,840 Speaker 1: and he was like, we we get beat by the 451 00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:36,119 Speaker 1: police too. He's like, the only difference is y'all have 452 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: a chance. Mm hmm, yeah, meaning that is just a 453 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:45,560 Speaker 1: way of life. There that can never be reformatted, versus 454 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:48,840 Speaker 1: us who could at least like appeal and scream out 455 00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:51,439 Speaker 1: for help and maybe something that's done. No, no, no. 456 00:27:51,520 --> 00:27:53,280 Speaker 1: When I was in when I was in Paris, you 457 00:27:53,520 --> 00:27:56,240 Speaker 1: irma ville. I asked some black people like, how can 458 00:27:56,320 --> 00:27:59,680 Speaker 1: you become wealthy if you don't play sports or sale 459 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,880 Speaker 1: drip books? And it was like it's hard for us. 460 00:28:03,640 --> 00:28:07,760 Speaker 1: Now in America, you got one idea and they change 461 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,760 Speaker 1: your life. Right, you can hit TV show, you could create, 462 00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,600 Speaker 1: invent the supersca, you can you can hit a lot, 463 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,000 Speaker 1: you can do a you can do a numerous things 464 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:20,320 Speaker 1: that could change your your family's life for generations, and 465 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,320 Speaker 1: other countries don't have that. You know, in Japan they 466 00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:30,360 Speaker 1: got a Korean town. I'm not laughing at anything specifically. Yeah, yeah, 467 00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:33,439 Speaker 1: don't the Koreans hate the Japanese. Well that it was 468 00:28:33,480 --> 00:28:36,120 Speaker 1: the slaves in Japan. Yeah. That was one of the 469 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:39,280 Speaker 1: things that the these surveys sort of unpacks is that 470 00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,120 Speaker 1: they some of the the racial bias that comes from 471 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:46,320 Speaker 1: some of these places. For example, South Korea is weirdly 472 00:28:46,480 --> 00:28:51,000 Speaker 1: very high on the list of places that express racial intolerance. 473 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,360 Speaker 1: But one of the reasons they pointed to. It is 474 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:57,320 Speaker 1: like if you have a par well that, yeah, they love. 475 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:02,040 Speaker 1: But part of what they're saying is that those pop lockers, 476 00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:06,360 Speaker 1: they have a racial intolerance to a specific group that 477 00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:09,600 Speaker 1: was their enemy for so long. So it's Japanese people 478 00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,200 Speaker 1: more than it is like, Oh, we hate everybody anywhere, 479 00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,800 Speaker 1: not you know, living next to us kind of thing, right. 480 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: I I also want to back up two points to 481 00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,800 Speaker 1: the idea that I think that in America you can't 482 00:29:22,840 --> 00:29:25,720 Speaker 1: get rich. But I don't think poverty is nearly is 483 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: devastating anywhere else in the first world as it is 484 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 1: in America either. I don't think that. I don't think 485 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:38,360 Speaker 1: that poverty, like extreme poverty anywhere else in the developed world. 486 00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:44,000 Speaker 1: I don't think it as terrible as it is in America. 487 00:29:44,960 --> 00:29:48,880 Speaker 1: Does that make sense, meaning that like UK poverty is 488 00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:53,480 Speaker 1: not nearly as bad as American poverty. I don't think so. No, Bro, 489 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: I've been a Palestine. But that's not that's not what 490 00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:58,520 Speaker 1: I'm talking to. That's not that's not even the world 491 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:00,400 Speaker 1: that I'm talking about. I'm talking to about. Like if 492 00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:04,080 Speaker 1: we're talking about Europe specifically, like Harris and stuff like that, 493 00:30:04,560 --> 00:30:08,480 Speaker 1: like Western Europe Australia. You know what I'm saying, New 494 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 1: Zealand and all the places that are sort of assigned. 495 00:30:11,480 --> 00:30:13,560 Speaker 1: I'm saying, as far as like as far as like 496 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: wealthy countries, I think our poverty is the worst. Yeah, 497 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:22,440 Speaker 1: except for like maybe China, bro and Palestine. They burn trash. 498 00:30:22,480 --> 00:30:26,640 Speaker 1: They don't even have sanitation systems. They don't know. I 499 00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:28,400 Speaker 1: believe that, and I mean that's how it isn't surely 500 00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,560 Speaker 1: on as well. But that's not like one of the 501 00:30:30,600 --> 00:30:33,920 Speaker 1: countries with wealth. You don't see what I'm saying. Yes, 502 00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: like like the countries that they're not doing that in 503 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: Israel is essentially Palestinians, Palestine Israel. But you know what 504 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:51,200 Speaker 1: I'm saying, I look, don't make me defend Israel. Where 505 00:30:51,200 --> 00:30:54,440 Speaker 1: are you standing on the Jewish s not? This is 506 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:57,440 Speaker 1: not going to be the episode where I have to go. Actually, 507 00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,080 Speaker 1: I'm saying for the people that it can find it 508 00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:09,440 Speaker 1: that way. They're not burning the trash. But I think 509 00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:15,360 Speaker 1: racism is worse in other places because we have at 510 00:31:15,400 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: least a platform to speak on. We can at least 511 00:31:17,560 --> 00:31:19,760 Speaker 1: go in front of the White House with signs where 512 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: they other countries can't do that. Hate the Haitians can't 513 00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,240 Speaker 1: do that. Man. When when I said they had a 514 00:31:24,280 --> 00:31:27,480 Speaker 1: curfew and d R and they was coming out locking 515 00:31:27,520 --> 00:31:29,400 Speaker 1: Haitians up, throw them in the back of paddiwagon at 516 00:31:29,440 --> 00:31:32,320 Speaker 1: midnight and the armed forces will walk the streets. They 517 00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:35,360 Speaker 1: will cover the whole streets. Man. It was crazy. And 518 00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,880 Speaker 1: then they see me and they anna, I've been. It's 519 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:42,120 Speaker 1: so many places where I'm like, oh, I'm black in America, 520 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,720 Speaker 1: but somewhere else some of American, you know what I mean, 521 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:47,720 Speaker 1: Like I've been to Afghanistan. Ain't so many places I 522 00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:50,640 Speaker 1: can go that my girl can't go because of this 523 00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:55,480 Speaker 1: blue passport we carry around. So that's why I have 524 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:57,960 Speaker 1: the point of view that I have, because we all 525 00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:01,000 Speaker 1: are privileged. We just don't know it when it comes 526 00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,280 Speaker 1: to the world, and it's because of the pain and 527 00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,480 Speaker 1: what we went through. Everybody's looking at that. So one 528 00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,400 Speaker 1: of the things that I guess it then also makes 529 00:32:11,440 --> 00:32:15,120 Speaker 1: me think of is the question sort of and they 530 00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,960 Speaker 1: acknowledge this and the survey. The question also comes with 531 00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:21,880 Speaker 1: the level of bias, right that if I ask you, 532 00:32:21,960 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 1: how how willing are you to or tolerant are you 533 00:32:25,120 --> 00:32:28,120 Speaker 1: of having a race to a neighbor of a different race, 534 00:32:28,720 --> 00:32:33,080 Speaker 1: the question becomes biased in terms of my education and culture. 535 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,000 Speaker 1: That might teach me to not openly be like, yeah, 536 00:32:37,040 --> 00:32:40,680 Speaker 1: I don't want some Indian person living next to me. 537 00:32:40,960 --> 00:32:43,920 Speaker 1: And so they said that, like in America especially, we're 538 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,880 Speaker 1: more likely to lie on a survey like this and 539 00:32:47,080 --> 00:32:51,120 Speaker 1: say that we're mostly tolerant even though secretly, no, I 540 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: don't want whoever the funk living next to me. Ye, 541 00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 1: when that music comes, when the now base come, at 542 00:32:57,120 --> 00:33:04,680 Speaker 1: the least, that's when the intolerance come. You know. That's 543 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: that And you're like, I don't maybe I don't like them, maybe, 544 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,760 Speaker 1: but I've been on the other side of the right, 545 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,200 Speaker 1: Like I'll come with heavy bassed music from traps here 546 00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:22,920 Speaker 1: and then somebody come with like some trombones, like nah, guitars, 547 00:33:23,000 --> 00:33:28,400 Speaker 1: loud guitars coming down the street. I'm like, we gotta go. Yeah. People, 548 00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,000 Speaker 1: but you know, were blended because you got the Nazi 549 00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:37,000 Speaker 1: saying that the uh Kanye West was right about the Jews. Yeah, 550 00:33:37,040 --> 00:33:39,959 Speaker 1: the Nazis have done that a few times. This is 551 00:33:41,280 --> 00:33:43,440 Speaker 1: they're never teaming up with the guys with life. How 552 00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:49,160 Speaker 1: does this always happen on this podcast? Yeah, So that 553 00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:53,320 Speaker 1: that just shows you how when I say, like, no 554 00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:56,120 Speaker 1: matter if you where you at or what's going on, 555 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,440 Speaker 1: you could be in a racist situation. Not when you're hungry, 556 00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,840 Speaker 1: when you're real hungry, all this ship go away. It's 557 00:34:01,880 --> 00:34:04,480 Speaker 1: one of those things. And the Nazis holding up that 558 00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,080 Speaker 1: sign is a version of that. They don't have a leader. 559 00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:10,600 Speaker 1: They'll take they'll take anybody right now. We just want 560 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: to be heard. They want to be heard too. Yeah, 561 00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 1: but that but their rhetoric is like very harmful. But 562 00:34:17,840 --> 00:34:20,480 Speaker 1: you have to acknowledge that. I understand everybody wants to 563 00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,680 Speaker 1: be heard, you know what I'm saying, But like it's 564 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,680 Speaker 1: like that, that rhetoric is very harmful. I understand they 565 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:35,840 Speaker 1: want to be heard by Yeah, yeah Nazis. Nazis is 566 00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 1: holding a sign. How do you feel about that? Grandma? 567 00:34:39,160 --> 00:34:41,759 Speaker 1: She won't They used to hang people when she was young. 568 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:45,279 Speaker 1: Her to her, this ain't even hard for no more. 569 00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:47,800 Speaker 1: It's just yeah, yeah. But to get to the hanging, 570 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:50,239 Speaker 1: they probably had a sign ahead of time. They probably 571 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:53,200 Speaker 1: started with a sign with the probably did some signs 572 00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:59,600 Speaker 1: hanging at hanging at seven. If you're free and interest 573 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:02,719 Speaker 1: every then grows, everything grows at one point Jesus was 574 00:35:02,760 --> 00:35:05,160 Speaker 1: just a dude telling another dude. I'm the son of God. 575 00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,080 Speaker 1: Like everything scales up, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, 576 00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:11,719 Speaker 1: I can agree with you that they losing that when 577 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:14,439 Speaker 1: they started to look for Kanye West or whoever. Yeah, 578 00:35:14,480 --> 00:35:17,600 Speaker 1: I mean it's they're down bad for good reason. And 579 00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:19,839 Speaker 1: here's the here's a powerful thing that goes what I'm saying. 580 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:23,440 Speaker 1: That White Lives Matter is owned by a black person. 581 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 1: It's trademark. That's just good business. That's spider. That's what 582 00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:36,480 Speaker 1: started the Weather channel. Baby. Remember what I said, how 583 00:35:36,560 --> 00:35:38,520 Speaker 1: you gotta do it. If you won't change, you gotta 584 00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,920 Speaker 1: do it from the end. We gotta we gotta do 585 00:35:40,960 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 1: it how it was done. I don't disagree with that. 586 00:35:44,160 --> 00:35:47,120 Speaker 1: You're talking about the people who food was so bland 587 00:35:47,920 --> 00:35:51,360 Speaker 1: that they colonized the world. That's true. The spice routes, 588 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: the spice routs were the beginning. That's the type of 589 00:35:53,600 --> 00:35:56,839 Speaker 1: hunger we need, you know what I mean, We need 590 00:35:56,880 --> 00:36:01,400 Speaker 1: bland food hunger. I'm tired of this this ship, this 591 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:06,440 Speaker 1: hats a role with no fucking spices on it. Pheasant. 592 00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:12,440 Speaker 1: I need some curry, man. And so you're saying, yeah, 593 00:36:12,600 --> 00:36:16,080 Speaker 1: you're saying that with that we we should be pursuing 594 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:20,400 Speaker 1: similar levels of like tyranny. Should we be like tearing 595 00:36:20,440 --> 00:36:22,960 Speaker 1: people ship up and fucking like because that's what they 596 00:36:23,000 --> 00:36:26,440 Speaker 1: had to do to get all that sweet spicy food. Spiritually, 597 00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 1: I'm saying life's of circles, and uh, you know, everything 598 00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:35,479 Speaker 1: starts with good intentions and then it goes wayward. Right, 599 00:36:35,760 --> 00:36:38,280 Speaker 1: So even as we heal as a group of people, 600 00:36:38,360 --> 00:36:42,239 Speaker 1: which I think we should do first internally heal, then 601 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:44,320 Speaker 1: we could get up, probably get on one accord better 602 00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,200 Speaker 1: because we are a traumatized group of people. And once 603 00:36:48,239 --> 00:36:51,919 Speaker 1: we do that, then we could go and start doing 604 00:36:52,000 --> 00:36:55,880 Speaker 1: some tyranny. But the difference is we won't have black guilt. 605 00:37:01,560 --> 00:37:07,400 Speaker 1: Now we went full circle. And maybe maybe wait a minute, 606 00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:11,600 Speaker 1: maybe part of the reason white people didn't feel anything 607 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:15,680 Speaker 1: for so long, it's because of the generation before them. 608 00:37:15,719 --> 00:37:18,160 Speaker 1: It was the white people who were the victims of 609 00:37:18,200 --> 00:37:22,040 Speaker 1: someone's syranny and then circled back and circled back. And 610 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,600 Speaker 1: this is just what we have to go from with 611 00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:30,160 Speaker 1: the history books in in place. It's a pyramid schame. Everybody, 612 00:37:30,239 --> 00:37:34,440 Speaker 1: everybody has been a slave, exactly everybody has been a 613 00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:37,279 Speaker 1: slave throughout throughout history. I had a joke about it. 614 00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 1: I was like, black people did this, ship white people did, 615 00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:41,160 Speaker 1: We wouldn't be It wouldn't be no such thing as 616 00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,320 Speaker 1: white guilt. Slave slavery will be a dance that we 617 00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:48,319 Speaker 1: would do at the club. I'm like, we killed each 618 00:37:48,360 --> 00:37:51,360 Speaker 1: other on records and single body, so we conquered the 619 00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,759 Speaker 1: whole world, you know what I mean? We would have 620 00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:57,279 Speaker 1: will be a ball. All music will probably be sunk, 621 00:37:57,360 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 1: and white music probably be done. But you know, yeah, 622 00:38:00,400 --> 00:38:03,480 Speaker 1: but there'd be like a two year period. There will 623 00:38:03,560 --> 00:38:06,120 Speaker 1: be like a two year period where like young Thug 624 00:38:06,440 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 1: could sing about being like king of the world and 625 00:38:09,160 --> 00:38:12,520 Speaker 1: that'd be pretty fucking That'd be great music for a while. 626 00:38:12,840 --> 00:38:16,839 Speaker 1: The country music will be out and and by the way, 627 00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,719 Speaker 1: they don't give a ship if their music sucks, so 628 00:38:18,760 --> 00:38:22,200 Speaker 1: we would still like our music the same level. You 629 00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:24,040 Speaker 1: know that. You know what, I don't care because they're 630 00:38:24,040 --> 00:38:27,200 Speaker 1: making money off of it. Yeah care, Yeah, I get it. 631 00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:30,520 Speaker 1: Taylor Swift did one point five million in a week. 632 00:38:31,040 --> 00:38:35,279 Speaker 1: She's fine. She don't give a shit about none of that. 633 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:37,600 Speaker 1: I wish I had a Taylor Swift song. I knew 634 00:38:37,600 --> 00:38:41,800 Speaker 1: the reference. Shake it off. She shaked it, damn it. 635 00:38:42,880 --> 00:38:45,719 Speaker 1: She did shake it up. That's it. You don't have 636 00:38:45,760 --> 00:38:46,800 Speaker 1: to do that to me. You don't have to do that. 637 00:38:47,800 --> 00:38:50,080 Speaker 1: Keep believing in yourself. I know, I'm trying. I'm trying 638 00:38:50,080 --> 00:38:56,000 Speaker 1: to you know. You gotta go to the gym every day. 639 00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:06,600 Speaker 1: One of the final things that I sort of wanted 640 00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:09,480 Speaker 1: to ask myself inside of this is this question of 641 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,040 Speaker 1: like hate crimes. Right, if we're a way of measuring 642 00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:16,720 Speaker 1: I guess racial intolerance, in my opinion, you could point 643 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,560 Speaker 1: directly to like hate crimes, and in out of the 644 00:39:20,719 --> 00:39:24,279 Speaker 1: ten thousand and eight hundred people who reported hate crimes 645 00:39:24,680 --> 00:39:27,960 Speaker 1: in the United States, nearly sixty two percent of those 646 00:39:28,320 --> 00:39:33,080 Speaker 1: were race based hate crimes. Sixty thousand, eight hundreds, So 647 00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:37,560 Speaker 1: you're about six thousand, seven hundred or so that I 648 00:39:37,600 --> 00:39:41,000 Speaker 1: think is the correct number. But but when you break 649 00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 1: that down in terms of the actual population of America, 650 00:39:45,680 --> 00:39:50,320 Speaker 1: it is point zero zero zero zero to six zero 651 00:39:50,400 --> 00:39:55,320 Speaker 1: six four percent of the population that's experiencing hate hate crimes, 652 00:39:55,480 --> 00:39:59,840 Speaker 1: which is almost a negligible number. Thus, maybe leaning to 653 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 1: words the argument that that at least was being presented 654 00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,600 Speaker 1: that this is not in fact a racist and this 655 00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:11,600 Speaker 1: feels very cooney, uh defended with numbers and ship but 656 00:40:11,680 --> 00:40:15,600 Speaker 1: it it is in fact, not quote unquote a racist country. 657 00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,440 Speaker 1: I mean, I mean, I think there's all kinds of 658 00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:21,759 Speaker 1: complications to that. Would you report it? Like, I don't 659 00:40:21,760 --> 00:40:24,560 Speaker 1: know if most of them are reported. I don't know 660 00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:30,000 Speaker 1: of that. You're you're acting like that was white on 661 00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:33,520 Speaker 1: black crime, which already like you know what I mean. Well, 662 00:40:33,600 --> 00:40:35,839 Speaker 1: let me be clear, I'm not picking a side in this. 663 00:40:37,080 --> 00:40:42,560 Speaker 1: I don't want you to use and I'm merely reporting 664 00:40:42,560 --> 00:40:49,680 Speaker 1: off of the things I read on read it. Now 665 00:40:49,760 --> 00:40:51,600 Speaker 1: when it calls you, I'm like, yeah, when it comes 666 00:40:51,600 --> 00:40:54,840 Speaker 1: to hey, we don't know if it's a thing of like, oh, 667 00:40:54,920 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 1: I hate you know this group of people, or I 668 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,680 Speaker 1: hate people that hit the brakes on the on the 669 00:41:00,719 --> 00:41:04,080 Speaker 1: freeway for no reason, you know they I mean, I'm 670 00:41:04,080 --> 00:41:06,840 Speaker 1: from allowing they get a shot too. So you're saying 671 00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:10,359 Speaker 1: you might shoot an early breaker and then they go, man, 672 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,879 Speaker 1: that was racist, and you're like, no, no, no, it's 673 00:41:12,960 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 1: more specific to Yeah, this ain't got nothing to do 674 00:41:18,440 --> 00:41:22,239 Speaker 1: with race. It's more to be as a spiritual this 675 00:41:22,320 --> 00:41:25,480 Speaker 1: guys were being present because motherfucker' was texting on the 676 00:41:25,520 --> 00:41:28,040 Speaker 1: phone and I'm trying to get to where I got 677 00:41:28,080 --> 00:41:33,080 Speaker 1: to go so right, I think that the obvious also 678 00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:35,239 Speaker 1: misstep and maybe this is what you were going to 679 00:41:35,880 --> 00:41:40,040 Speaker 1: Bory is like, at at its core, hate crimes are 680 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:43,799 Speaker 1: not the essence of what racism was most effective at. 681 00:41:44,040 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 1: I think that's like the most extreme outlet education. Yeah, 682 00:41:49,560 --> 00:41:53,520 Speaker 1: all that things are like, I don't think the majority 683 00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 1: of people who are even self described racists would ever 684 00:41:57,280 --> 00:42:00,239 Speaker 1: commit a hate crime and within their lifetime. You know 685 00:42:00,239 --> 00:42:03,719 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It's it's such a small it's such 686 00:42:03,719 --> 00:42:07,120 Speaker 1: a small group to judge what the overall problem is. 687 00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 1: But they might vote to keep your water infest with 688 00:42:10,920 --> 00:42:14,040 Speaker 1: with fucking worms or whatever. The fund is happening elsewhere. 689 00:42:14,120 --> 00:42:16,359 Speaker 1: So it's like, yeah, that, let's study on how many 690 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:20,600 Speaker 1: of them followed me in the grocery store. Not the 691 00:42:20,600 --> 00:42:22,920 Speaker 1: grocery store. I look like I can afford the groceries, 692 00:42:23,080 --> 00:42:27,400 Speaker 1: but any place that sells clothing. But you know, I 693 00:42:28,000 --> 00:42:33,080 Speaker 1: met somebody who uncles owns the water supply. What you 694 00:42:33,080 --> 00:42:37,520 Speaker 1: could do that you can own the water supply and 695 00:42:37,680 --> 00:42:41,640 Speaker 1: listen from the beginning of the thing, Right, if the 696 00:42:41,680 --> 00:42:44,840 Speaker 1: difference one of the different between us and a group 697 00:42:44,880 --> 00:42:49,040 Speaker 1: of people who some people for entertainment purpose, so claim 698 00:42:49,400 --> 00:42:56,800 Speaker 1: owns everything? What to do is people, I was waiting 699 00:42:56,800 --> 00:42:58,400 Speaker 1: to see if you were gonna say it or if 700 00:42:58,440 --> 00:43:03,279 Speaker 1: you're just gonna play playing same alright, I felt bad 701 00:43:03,320 --> 00:43:08,920 Speaker 1: when I said it, So someone's like, looks, but it's 702 00:43:08,960 --> 00:43:10,600 Speaker 1: so claim. We're not saying this is true or not. 703 00:43:10,680 --> 00:43:14,919 Speaker 1: But some people say that a group of people owns everything, right, 704 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:18,759 Speaker 1: And I'm like my mental like, well, if somebody trying 705 00:43:18,800 --> 00:43:23,640 Speaker 1: to kill my whole race, then I will want or 706 00:43:23,960 --> 00:43:27,719 Speaker 1: we should try to own the water if we think 707 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:31,000 Speaker 1: we're being poisoned the medical thing, if we think that 708 00:43:31,040 --> 00:43:34,080 Speaker 1: we're being poisoned, that we should trying to get control 709 00:43:34,320 --> 00:43:39,319 Speaker 1: of everything. Right now, I agree with that. Then you 710 00:43:39,360 --> 00:43:43,680 Speaker 1: ain't in a position to be like deal with the 711 00:43:43,719 --> 00:43:46,440 Speaker 1: red lining and stuff like that no more because we 712 00:43:46,440 --> 00:43:48,360 Speaker 1: were red line on sales. Like we're doing a t 713 00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,920 Speaker 1: the right in Atlanta. But that's a whole another thing. 714 00:43:53,120 --> 00:43:55,279 Speaker 1: That's a whole another thing, you know what I mean? Yeah, 715 00:43:55,280 --> 00:43:59,840 Speaker 1: I do think to some extent what you're speaking to 716 00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:04,640 Speaker 1: is more like a an active of fear that leads 717 00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:08,000 Speaker 1: to protection. Right that, Like, if you terrorize a group 718 00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:10,239 Speaker 1: of people, they have to figure out a way to 719 00:44:10,320 --> 00:44:14,120 Speaker 1: effectively survive, and that effective survival might come in the 720 00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,920 Speaker 1: form of, you know, making a music that allows you 721 00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:20,960 Speaker 1: to survive, learning a skill that allows you to survive, 722 00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:24,520 Speaker 1: or building relationships that allow you to survive. And if 723 00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:27,080 Speaker 1: you happen to flourish inside of that, that's not you 724 00:44:27,160 --> 00:44:30,520 Speaker 1: being uh some sort of criminal mastermind. That's just you 725 00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 1: doing exactly what was necessary for your survival. Yeah. But 726 00:44:35,200 --> 00:44:37,759 Speaker 1: we still a subservient group of people because we was 727 00:44:37,880 --> 00:44:43,600 Speaker 1: handed this religion meaning black people being handed Christianity Christianity. Yeah, 728 00:44:43,640 --> 00:44:47,440 Speaker 1: so we still subservient to the God. And you know 729 00:44:47,800 --> 00:44:51,520 Speaker 1: two uh figures who we might perceive God look like, 730 00:44:51,640 --> 00:44:54,680 Speaker 1: and we ask God for things versus meeting God. Have 731 00:44:54,880 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 1: wait nobody ever you know here and Nigga say, hey, God, uh, 732 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:00,680 Speaker 1: can you bless people to call? I'm gonna get half 733 00:45:00,719 --> 00:45:04,640 Speaker 1: the money mm hmm. But once you start thinking like that, 734 00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,759 Speaker 1: he would meet you halfway. But the lessons that you 735 00:45:08,840 --> 00:45:11,480 Speaker 1: need to learn to get half the money or being gone, 736 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:15,560 Speaker 1: you know. I mean, this is a whole other we're 737 00:45:15,560 --> 00:45:20,200 Speaker 1: talking about the existence of God or not. I have 738 00:45:20,239 --> 00:45:22,960 Speaker 1: a whole other podcasts with the feelings about this. Well, 739 00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,799 Speaker 1: even if you don't, that's even better. So it's better 740 00:45:26,840 --> 00:45:28,800 Speaker 1: because it makes you hustle even more because now you 741 00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,759 Speaker 1: gotta get by the whole car yourself. But let me 742 00:45:31,800 --> 00:45:34,560 Speaker 1: tell you something, most street niggas believe in God because uh, 743 00:45:35,400 --> 00:45:39,000 Speaker 1: you have you need protection. I have also very I 744 00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,919 Speaker 1: have very specific reasons I don't believe in God. It's 745 00:45:41,960 --> 00:45:44,879 Speaker 1: not like it's definitely not like an ingrained thing. It's 746 00:45:44,920 --> 00:45:48,359 Speaker 1: like a bitterness situation. That's a good place to be 747 00:45:48,440 --> 00:45:52,400 Speaker 1: in though. Yeah, it makes you work hard, and it 748 00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:56,000 Speaker 1: makes you you will one day find other beauties that 749 00:45:56,400 --> 00:45:58,600 Speaker 1: might one day make you be like it is something 750 00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:00,400 Speaker 1: out there, whether it's an alien or whatever. You know 751 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:04,480 Speaker 1: what I mean. Oh yeah, oh yeah, Well we're constant search. 752 00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,520 Speaker 1: It's a constant search. Yeah. So that that's the beauty 753 00:46:07,560 --> 00:46:09,400 Speaker 1: of it because it puts you on a journey versus 754 00:46:09,400 --> 00:46:11,480 Speaker 1: somebody who's like, all right, I'm alright right here, I'm 755 00:46:11,480 --> 00:46:15,200 Speaker 1: alright in my hood, I know what the world is, yeah, 756 00:46:15,560 --> 00:46:18,600 Speaker 1: and my white Jesus peace, I'm stay right here, you 757 00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:21,160 Speaker 1: know what I mean. But at its core that argument 758 00:46:21,239 --> 00:46:25,040 Speaker 1: is is, for example, at the root of of communism, 759 00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:28,640 Speaker 1: right that like communism, I think they call religion the 760 00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:32,279 Speaker 1: opiate of the mass opioid of the masses, because they're 761 00:46:32,320 --> 00:46:35,799 Speaker 1: essentially saying that like it's just cooked in to keep 762 00:46:35,840 --> 00:46:39,680 Speaker 1: you in a position of subservience rather than sort of 763 00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,080 Speaker 1: like figuring out a way for everybody to benefit as 764 00:46:43,239 --> 00:46:47,120 Speaker 1: like a larger community that like it, that it forces 765 00:46:47,239 --> 00:46:51,120 Speaker 1: a hierarchy to have a religion, as like you're leading 766 00:46:51,640 --> 00:46:55,120 Speaker 1: decision maker for your life. Yeah, but I mean you 767 00:46:55,239 --> 00:46:59,760 Speaker 1: still should like meditate and have a direct connection versus 768 00:47:00,520 --> 00:47:05,200 Speaker 1: listening to you know, somebody liked it, who might send 769 00:47:05,239 --> 00:47:08,319 Speaker 1: your key as to war. Right. And I think they're 770 00:47:08,680 --> 00:47:12,200 Speaker 1: I think, to be exercise. I don't think they're saying 771 00:47:12,239 --> 00:47:15,720 Speaker 1: you can't be spiritual. I think they're saying you probably 772 00:47:15,760 --> 00:47:20,880 Speaker 1: shouldn't like bow to Jesus just because like your country 773 00:47:21,200 --> 00:47:25,879 Speaker 1: told you too. Like that's that's where that becomes complicated. Yeah, 774 00:47:25,880 --> 00:47:29,000 Speaker 1: I think so I agree with that. Yeah, are you 775 00:47:29,040 --> 00:47:34,759 Speaker 1: saying your communists Thankston, I'm this recording. I'm not I'm 776 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,000 Speaker 1: not smart enough though, I didn't you read that that 777 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:45,160 Speaker 1: came from that came from my heart. Universe never told 778 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,360 Speaker 1: me that about comunist you know. That came from my 779 00:47:47,480 --> 00:47:50,440 Speaker 1: heart and the bottom of my couch. That's that was 780 00:47:51,120 --> 00:47:53,920 Speaker 1: all the parts that matter to me. No, I think, uh, 781 00:47:54,200 --> 00:47:56,520 Speaker 1: I think, I don't even tell about comedy. Is it 782 00:47:56,640 --> 00:48:02,560 Speaker 1: was like I think got merely suggesting that what you're 783 00:48:02,760 --> 00:48:06,440 Speaker 1: you're saying about religion being part of our sort of 784 00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:12,640 Speaker 1: like captivity, is also cooked into what other economic systems 785 00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:16,359 Speaker 1: would push for in terms of fixing things, that by 786 00:48:16,800 --> 00:48:20,919 Speaker 1: removing religion, we are liberating ourselves of at least one 787 00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:23,799 Speaker 1: version of our shackles. Well, I say, just like when 788 00:48:23,840 --> 00:48:27,759 Speaker 1: anything else, we need to change the dialogue. I'm not 789 00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:30,799 Speaker 1: saying that you shouldn't have the discipline of this one thing, 790 00:48:30,960 --> 00:48:35,399 Speaker 1: but you know, you gotta watch she was telling the story, right, 791 00:48:36,160 --> 00:48:38,239 Speaker 1: That's one thing. I look at America like they say, 792 00:48:38,239 --> 00:48:41,120 Speaker 1: America is the father you know, uh you know, or 793 00:48:41,160 --> 00:48:42,880 Speaker 1: the president is the father of the country. So you 794 00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:45,000 Speaker 1: I'm looking at them, and whatever they do, I'm like, 795 00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:47,880 Speaker 1: this is what we're doing. So if the preacher out 796 00:48:47,920 --> 00:48:51,920 Speaker 1: you you know, preaching on Sunday and fucking on Monday, 797 00:48:51,960 --> 00:48:55,000 Speaker 1: and that's just what we're doing, all right, Well, I 798 00:48:55,120 --> 00:48:58,320 Speaker 1: pray that Joe Biden is uh fucking on a Sunday 799 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,520 Speaker 1: and and preach your on the Monday.
