19
00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,159
Speaker 5: You know, like I'm just here so I don't get fine.

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: Again. What was so good about?

21
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:02,720
Speaker 7: Bon said, it's funny, He's good. It was a lively show.

22
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,680
Speaker 7: And it's important to have some continuity. I mean, we

23
00:01:05,760 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 7: had Anthony Anderson, what six seven years, we had the

24
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 7: Queen unfortunately din'tet it the next year and Dion to

25
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,720
Speaker 7: stepped in and it's been a great show. It.

26
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,080
Speaker 4: Congratulations to you, Lewis car Man. You know he can't

27
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:18,400
Speaker 4: ignore the elephant in the room, Sutar guy Scott Mills.

28
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 4: But you know he's no longer the president of BT.

29
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 5: You are now, how does that feel?

30
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 8: It's amazing. Okay, it's been a hell of a journey

31
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:31,160
Speaker 8: and it's a privilege. It's a big job and we're

32
00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,120
Speaker 8: just trying to take BT to the next era. We

33
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:37,600
Speaker 8: call it the New Era, and it's exciting, but it's

34
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:38,160
Speaker 8: a privilege.

35
00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,000
Speaker 4: What does modernizing BT actually mean to you? Is it

36
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 4: about platform? Is it about programming? Is it about mindset?

37
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 8: It's about all of that, and it's about community and culture.

38
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,600
Speaker 8: I don't think any brand that is serving black people

39
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 8: right now, they have to lean into the community, especially

40
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 8: what's going on in our country right now, whether it's political,

41
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:01,360
Speaker 8: whether it's economic. So we're going to lean into community.

42
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 8: And we were built on culture at the end of

43
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 8: the day, so we're going to be one of the

44
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,720
Speaker 8: drivers of culture and holding it up and continue. And

45
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,560
Speaker 8: that's why we are in partnership with the NAACP and

46
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,640
Speaker 8: my homeboy Dion Cole. This is my homeboy, so it's

47
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:17,639
Speaker 8: a real privilege to me.

48
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:19,919
Speaker 2: What's your first initiative besides this? Of course, what's the

49
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,680
Speaker 2: first initiative that BET wants to do with you being

50
00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 2: the new president?

51
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,800
Speaker 8: My first initiative is re establishing BT is the brand

52
00:02:27,880 --> 00:02:31,680
Speaker 8: that people are proud of. So the first thing I've

53
00:02:31,760 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 8: done is we have an internal slogan that may go

54
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 8: publics and so I'm gonna say it right now. BT

55
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 8: is something you can believe in. We really want people

56
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:44,200
Speaker 8: to sort of gravitate and understand that they do have

57
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 8: some ownership in this, They do have some responsibility in

58
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,880
Speaker 8: this because we serve the culture and we serve our community.

59
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:51,080
Speaker 2: What do you think that was lost?

60
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 3: If you do?

61
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 2: You know, I remember as a kid, you know, I

62
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 2: think everybody would come on from school, You're turning on BT,

63
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:58,000
Speaker 2: and not just for one O six and Parking O shows,

64
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: but there's so many shows around the realm that people

65
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:02,919
Speaker 2: would love about BT. And I think we lost that

66
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:05,720
Speaker 2: a little bit. It didn't become ours anymore. So what

67
00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 2: what do you think the reason is that we got

68
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:09,959
Speaker 2: away from that?

69
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,239
Speaker 8: I think technology. I think there was a disruption in technology.

70
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,359
Speaker 8: You know, we were primarily a cable brand at that

71
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,880
Speaker 8: particular time, and you know, whether it is the Internet

72
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 8: or whether it's streaming, it's sort of interrupted everything that

73
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 8: we were doing. So now we've got to sort of

74
00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,040
Speaker 8: change our ways and really become more focused on the

75
00:03:27,120 --> 00:03:30,080
Speaker 8: consumer and where the consumer is not just a cable brand.

76
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 4: And Louis you come from a background in adveratis yes, right,

77
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,720
Speaker 4: and brand relationships. How do you planning the leverage adveratisers

78
00:03:35,760 --> 00:03:37,840
Speaker 4: basically get that money right? And how do you plan

79
00:03:37,920 --> 00:03:41,320
Speaker 4: the leverage advertisers and brand partners without I guess compromising

80
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 4: the authenticity for black storytellers.

81
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 8: Well, one of the things that I think we have

82
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 8: to understand is what advertisers are looking for and then

83
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 8: understand where our audience is and how we sort of

84
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 8: partner to make it work for both places. So that's

85
00:03:56,840 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 8: something I've done constantly. The NAACP Immage will Wards is

86
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:04,000
Speaker 8: a great example. You'll see integrations in that show in

87
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 8: a very very special and unique way. So I think

88
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,120
Speaker 8: I got that down.

89
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:15,120
Speaker 5: How a y'all still paying for the NAACP Wars Award

90
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,679
Speaker 5: shows is what I'm saying, awards is still.

91
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,680
Speaker 1: I think thea A CP fifty seven years. We do

92
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: have a formula. We have been on air, we will

93
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:23,920
Speaker 1: continue to be on there.

94
00:04:23,960 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 7: In fact, we've expanded to an NAACP Immature Wars week.

95
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:29,000
Speaker 1: We start off for the golf tournament.

96
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:31,279
Speaker 7: We have a fashion show, We do all the things

97
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:35,520
Speaker 7: that really highlight black excellence. We can no longer sit

98
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:39,720
Speaker 7: back and react to what other platforms do against us

99
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 7: and not include us. We got to invest in our

100
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,920
Speaker 7: own and as an organization, we have invested and we

101
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,040
Speaker 7: continue to have the show year after year.

102
00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,560
Speaker 2: This year's theme is we see you break that down

103
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 2: a little bit.

104
00:04:50,160 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 7: But this current political climate is one in which they're

105
00:04:52,960 --> 00:04:55,480
Speaker 7: trying to erase who we are as a culture, as

106
00:04:55,520 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 7: a people, and so we have to see ourselves. What

107
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,440
Speaker 7: frustrates to me more than anything else, says we are

108
00:05:00,480 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 7: caring about what the oscars say about us and who

109
00:05:02,839 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 7: the Grammy included did include.

110
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:05,680
Speaker 1: We got to invest in our own.

111
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 7: We have to see ourselves and speak from a surplus

112
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 7: mindset and get away from cared about well white folks

113
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:12,840
Speaker 7: who don't care about us anywhere, what they're saying, what

114
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 7: they're doing.

115
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: When we have our own, does it bother you at

116
00:05:15,240 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 2: any when you see as a lot of these celebrities

117
00:05:17,240 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 2: go to those other award shows but don't come to

118
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,279
Speaker 2: the home shows. Does that bother you any.

119
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,279
Speaker 7: Well, you know it bothers me, But it don't because

120
00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:25,080
Speaker 7: then they get in trouble. Did they come back and say, Hey,

121
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:30,800
Speaker 7: I'm an HBCU graduate. There's nothing better than our black

122
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,880
Speaker 7: cottages to glue cottage because only even with five of us,

123
00:05:33,920 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 7: we all know each other, right, were not like Hampton.

124
00:05:35,720 --> 00:05:38,960
Speaker 7: We all know right in Mississippi. But if we invest

125
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:41,600
Speaker 7: in our on our schools become better. I'm in the

126
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 7: middle of a book now by Nakrumer. He went to

127
00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 7: Lincoln and his experience at Lincoln allowed him to be

128
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:51,240
Speaker 7: become the first president of Ghana. Why because Third Good

129
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:53,680
Speaker 7: Marshall was there. He ran across Ralph Ellison. He had

130
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:56,520
Speaker 7: all of the integration of black intelligence, not only in

131
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:57,839
Speaker 7: the United States but globally.

132
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,000
Speaker 1: We have to do the same thing for our platform.

133
00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,280
Speaker 9: Were you guys when you announced BT When you guys

134
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 9: announced that you're going to step it away from those

135
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 9: other war shows, and I remember, like the messaging got

136
00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:09,040
Speaker 9: a little bit lost where some things are going to

137
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:10,960
Speaker 9: go to digital, right, So it's not fully out of it.

138
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:14,200
Speaker 9: But were you guys nervous about adding negatively to that

139
00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,040
Speaker 9: conversation of BT's decline when you decided to make that decision.

140
00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:22,560
Speaker 8: Absolutely, And I think we sat there on pause, so

141
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 8: it may be something different coming soon. So just stam passed.

142
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,080
Speaker 8: So they're not gone, they just may be on pause.

143
00:06:30,160 --> 00:06:33,159
Speaker 8: We've been in conversation about at least bringing one back

144
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:34,880
Speaker 8: over the last three weeks.

145
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,080
Speaker 9: You can't tell us what's want yet.

146
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,960
Speaker 5: No, I want to ask you that because you mentioned it.

147
00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 4: Like Trump, the Trump administration has been open about attacking DEI,

148
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 4: black history, civil rights language. Is the NAACP fighting to

149
00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:49,600
Speaker 4: preserve those games from the past or is this moment

150
00:06:49,720 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 4: forcing the NAACP to completely rethink?

151
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:55,240
Speaker 7: Well, absolutely, fight we are in. I can't name the

152
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,440
Speaker 7: number of court cases, many of which we've already won.

153
00:06:57,480 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 7: Whether it's a redistion case in Texasu'siana, Missouri, whether or

154
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 7: not we put booths on the ground in California for

155
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:06,720
Speaker 7: the referendum, whether or not we're strategizing in Maryland and

156
00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:08,160
Speaker 7: Virginia around that redistrict.

157
00:07:08,160 --> 00:07:09,280
Speaker 1: And absolutely we're fighting.

158
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 7: But the election have consequences and platforms like this, we

159
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 7: cannot send this messages. We got to be clear that

160
00:07:15,480 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 7: this November we got to turn out and vote. We

161
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:19,520
Speaker 7: know who the NMB are, we know how they look,

162
00:07:19,720 --> 00:07:21,880
Speaker 7: and it's not black men is doing this or not

163
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 7: doing that. It's about all black folks need to get

164
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 7: out and vote because if we don't, our citizenship, our

165
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,080
Speaker 7: human essence in this country is at risk.

166
00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:36,080
Speaker 5: Is there any way to rethink? Rethink the playbook always?

167
00:07:36,160 --> 00:07:39,720
Speaker 7: I mean, you know, add into the conversation in a

168
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:42,600
Speaker 7: way in which we can reconsider things. The medium age

169
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:45,320
Speaker 7: of our community is thirty two years old. Things have

170
00:07:45,440 --> 00:07:49,000
Speaker 7: already been rethought and rethought again. We are constantly evolving.

171
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 7: That's why next month we're one hundred and seventeen year

172
00:07:51,800 --> 00:07:55,600
Speaker 7: old organization. We're solving, We're strong, and we're continuing to fight.

173
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 7: We have to get out of black folks saying well,

174
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,760
Speaker 7: this group isn't doing this. This group should do that

175
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 7: one hell, pick up a shovel and get a scoop

176
00:08:03,120 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 7: and help all of us get to where we need

177
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,720
Speaker 7: to be. Because if we're stronger as an organization, we're

178
00:08:07,760 --> 00:08:08,800
Speaker 7: stronger as a community.

179
00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,400
Speaker 2: Now, you posted something on your social media page that

180
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:14,240
Speaker 2: was very powerful, right. It was a half face of

181
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,640
Speaker 2: KKK plan member and half face of an ICE member.

182
00:08:18,080 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 3: Break that down.

183
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,960
Speaker 7: What you mean if you understand the history of this country,

184
00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:25,160
Speaker 7: the clan re emerging the twenties. They were able to

185
00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:27,920
Speaker 7: re emerge through law enforcement, starting in Indiana, and they

186
00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,880
Speaker 7: spread across the country. What we're seeing with the ICE

187
00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 7: operation now is they're recruiting white supremacists to come into

188
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,680
Speaker 7: the agency and go in and terrorize communities. Now, let's

189
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 7: not be food and think it's all about the Latino community.

190
00:08:40,960 --> 00:08:41,880
Speaker 1: No, it's us too.

191
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,560
Speaker 7: When they're in Minneapolis and they pull it over, brothers

192
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 7: and sisters from Sudanese from Sudan.

193
00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 5: They look like us.

194
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:51,439
Speaker 7: They look like all of us around this table. So

195
00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,320
Speaker 7: it's one group today, it's another one tomorrow, it is us.

196
00:08:55,400 --> 00:08:57,360
Speaker 7: After that we have to stand up. So what we're

197
00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 7: looking at is clan activity masquerading as ICE agents.

198
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,480
Speaker 5: You know what makes you want to host the award?

199
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 3: I said, black Comic, Uh.

200
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:24,959
Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I shouldn't be, don't I don't have

201
00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 6: to turn on that.

202
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:36,000
Speaker 3: I don't know, I don't know, I don't know what

203
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,360
Speaker 3: it's gonna be off. Whatever, man, you know what I

204
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:40,920
Speaker 3: love about you?

205
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:41,640
Speaker 7: D Man?

206
00:09:41,760 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 5: Some comedians, They just get louder as they get older.

207
00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:48,960
Speaker 5: You got shock. Was that intentional? They just like life

208
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:49,960
Speaker 5: script away all the noise.

209
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,439
Speaker 6: Yeah, I just I just don't know how the energy

210
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,400
Speaker 6: to be hollering, want a whole bunch of stuff. I

211
00:09:56,480 --> 00:09:59,120
Speaker 6: think lessons more, you know, being more in the pocket

212
00:09:59,160 --> 00:10:01,199
Speaker 6: when it comes to cond he is you know my

213
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,839
Speaker 6: aforte and how I get down. You know, I want

214
00:10:03,880 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 6: to be heard, and I seen you could be heard softly,

215
00:10:07,760 --> 00:10:10,760
Speaker 6: You could be heard, you know, loudly or whatever, but

216
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 6: I like to just, you know, stay in the pocket

217
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:15,199
Speaker 6: with what I do, you know, and it keeps me

218
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 6: distant from what the normans.

219
00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 2: They had a conversation a couple of months ago about you, Dion,

220
00:10:21,679 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 2: when you were talking about Kai and we were talking

221
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:27,240
Speaker 2: about the younger generation and the older generation, and you

222
00:10:27,360 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 2: were saying you said something to the fact that I

223
00:10:29,640 --> 00:10:31,480
Speaker 2: don't want to misquote you, that you feel like the

224
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,760
Speaker 2: younger generation should do their homework on some of the legends,

225
00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:36,440
Speaker 2: and we were saying that sometimes it's very difficult because

226
00:10:36,440 --> 00:10:39,280
Speaker 2: if they don't know the individuals, it's very difficult. But

227
00:10:39,360 --> 00:10:41,200
Speaker 2: you felt the way that he doesn't necessarily know who

228
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 2: you are.

229
00:10:41,840 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, it wasn't.

230
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Speaker 6: And that's what I think everybody twisted and made it

231
00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 6: seem like I was trying to say he didn't know

232
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 6: who I was, and I said over and over again,

233
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 6: I was like, I it wasn't even about me. It

234
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 6: was just about him having that platform to showcase these

235
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:01,960
Speaker 6: icons and let his generation know who these people are.

236
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 6: And I was like, you don't have to know everybody,

237
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:07,200
Speaker 6: because I don't know everybody. My whole thing was at

238
00:11:07,320 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 6: least know the winners.

239
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,160
Speaker 3: You know what I mean.

240
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 6: If you know who won, that's good enough. You know

241
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 6: what I mean, So do your homework and not just

242
00:11:16,360 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 6: walk around like that. And I love that little brother.

243
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,599
Speaker 3: I think he dope. I think he is innovative and

244
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 3: all of that.

245
00:11:22,520 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 6: I just feel as though that with this generation nowadays,

246
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,280
Speaker 6: correct the criticism is considered.

247
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 3: Hate and it's not hate. It's like, what am I

248
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 3: gonna do?

249
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,559
Speaker 6: Just let you keep doing what you're gonna do and

250
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:34,600
Speaker 6: then let it keep getting worse and worse and worse,

251
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 6: like the situations that have happened now and certain things whatever.

252
00:11:39,160 --> 00:11:41,679
Speaker 6: So my job was to go, hey, little brother, check

253
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 6: this out, do that, and everybody spent it or whatever.

254
00:11:45,280 --> 00:11:47,400
Speaker 3: But hopefully he heard it, you know. But then a

255
00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 3: little bit after that, I think he was actually going

256
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:51,480
Speaker 3: through stuff, you know.

257
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 6: What I mean, And so what I was saying was

258
00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,880
Speaker 6: maybe it was something on his mind or hard or whatever.

259
00:11:58,080 --> 00:12:01,200
Speaker 6: But I felt like I did my job by saying

260
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:02,840
Speaker 6: what it is, and he went to go get help

261
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 6: and all of that. You get what I mean, because

262
00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:07,079
Speaker 6: you never know what nobody's going through, so I have

263
00:12:07,200 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 6: to say what I have to say and then go

264
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 6: for that, you know what I mean?

265
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 3: So you know much love to that brother. I love

266
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:13,200
Speaker 3: that brother.

267
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 2: You think it's a problem in our community. This is

268
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 2: for all of y'all that we don't necessarily do the

269
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 2: research of where things started from. Like if you go

270
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:23,760
Speaker 2: to a young rapper today, he might not know the

271
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 2: first rap came from the Bronx and it came from

272
00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,200
Speaker 2: this sound, or different comedians if you're in the comedy world,

273
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:30,280
Speaker 2: who this comedian is, how.

274
00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:30,800
Speaker 3: They started there?

275
00:12:30,840 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 2: So even radio of the first hip hop station and

276
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 2: how it started. Do you feel like that's the problem

277
00:12:35,200 --> 00:12:35,760
Speaker 2: in our community.

278
00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:37,960
Speaker 7: I think it's an opportunity. I don't think it's a problem.

279
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:41,040
Speaker 7: I mean, when you're trying to build on your craft,

280
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:44,840
Speaker 7: you focus. You're zeroed in and you don't know when

281
00:12:44,840 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 7: you're gonna hit, but once you hit, it's an opportunity

282
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 7: to begin to expand, so you don't fall into the

283
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,240
Speaker 7: same potholes. One of the things we must do as

284
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:55,600
Speaker 7: a community is learned from past mistakes because we got

285
00:12:55,679 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 7: new ones to make.

286
00:12:57,000 --> 00:13:00,199
Speaker 1: And only way we do that is to understand. I

287
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,560
Speaker 1: like that to me right right there.

288
00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 5: I never thought about it.

289
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 7: You know, you you learned from past mistakes because we

290
00:13:06,559 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 7: got new ones, and in that moment, it gives the

291
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:11,920
Speaker 7: opportunity to not only perfect your craft, but to grow

292
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 7: the craft. And so that's an opportunity, not a deficit.

293
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 3: I think.

294
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,600
Speaker 9: A part of the conversation with the Kai stuff though,

295
00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,559
Speaker 9: for people who are in like a learning space, is like,

296
00:13:18,880 --> 00:13:20,840
Speaker 9: do y'all ever have a chance to have those conversations

297
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:24,600
Speaker 9: with him privately? Like you said, you hope you hurt

298
00:13:24,600 --> 00:13:26,000
Speaker 9: what you said, So you guys haven't been able to

299
00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:26,680
Speaker 9: talk in private.

300
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:28,880
Speaker 6: No, I haven't been able to talk to him in private.

301
00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 6: I would love to, but I didn't reach out because

302
00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:34,080
Speaker 6: it was just going so banignas. I just was like, yo,

303
00:13:34,160 --> 00:13:36,160
Speaker 6: if you want to talk here, reach out. But I

304
00:13:36,200 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 6: ain't want to go, hey, this is what it meant,

305
00:13:38,400 --> 00:13:40,320
Speaker 6: you know, but I would love to talk to that brother.

306
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 3: I remember I did.

307
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,199
Speaker 6: I did something with Marlon Wayne's and Marlin said that

308
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 6: he had talked to him, and uh he said he

309
00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 6: was like man, man called the little brother and tell

310
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 6: him and tell him like you know you you you

311
00:13:53,559 --> 00:13:56,079
Speaker 6: cool or whatever. And I never got his number whatever,

312
00:13:56,200 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 6: but Marlon did talk to him, and uh, you know,

313
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,840
Speaker 6: I don't really know the outcome was. Malin was like, y'all,

314
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,160

338
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 6: he was like all my family in time for the holidays,

339
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,080
Speaker 6: and he was like if I can bring him.

340
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,800
Speaker 3: They hit me. I was like, yeah, tell him to

341
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:09,680
Speaker 3: come through. You know how many you got? He was

342
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:10,400
Speaker 3: like twenty five.

343
00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 1: Jesus, my room is.

344
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:27,200
Speaker 3: Only forty seats. Bringing couches and crates and other kinds

345
00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:27,600
Speaker 3: of stuff.

346
00:15:27,640 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 6: But yeah, he came in and he brought in all

347
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,200
Speaker 6: twenty five his people, his wife and everybody came in

348
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,040
Speaker 6: and he had a great time because he needed that,

349
00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:36,880
Speaker 6: you know what I mean.

350
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 3: It was a you know, it's a lot of weight

351
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 3: on him, you know, And when it comes to these situations,

352
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:45,720
Speaker 3: I feel like like when we were dealing with one

353
00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 3: of our own whatever.

354
00:15:48,120 --> 00:15:51,480
Speaker 6: I feel like personally, we shouldn't let everybody get on him,

355
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 6: like like we can get on him. But when everybody

356
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 6: else started getting on him, we go, all right, well,

357
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,120
Speaker 6: y'all relaxed, Yeah, we'll take care.

358
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:58,560
Speaker 3: Of him, you know.

359
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 6: And so it was for me to be like, come

360
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:04,280
Speaker 6: on out, come, have a good time, relax your mind,

361
00:16:04,840 --> 00:16:07,280
Speaker 6: you know, and I go from there whatever. I wasn't

362
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 6: he supposed to bring him on, you know, bring him

363
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 6: on the stage. But I was like, forget that, you

364
00:16:12,760 --> 00:16:13,200
Speaker 6: have pressure.

365
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 5: I agree with that to a certain extent, but and

366
00:16:15,960 --> 00:16:17,760
Speaker 5: what you mean what he's saying.

367
00:16:17,840 --> 00:16:19,000
Speaker 10: But but.

368
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:22,720
Speaker 5: He pokesed his own community.

369
00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:24,240
Speaker 3: To get it, you know, get it. I get it.

370
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 3: I get he does. But I mean, what are you

371
00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 3: gonna do?

372
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,160
Speaker 6: I just I don't want to see nobody get kicked

373
00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,160
Speaker 6: while they down, you know what I mean. And so

374
00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 6: once they keep kicking while he down, it's like, all right,

375
00:16:35,720 --> 00:16:38,080
Speaker 6: that's that's what I mean. And they keep kicking him

376
00:16:38,080 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 6: while down.

377
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:43,000
Speaker 3: It's like he got the message, Yeah, quit kicking them, motherfucker.

378
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 4: I'm been interested to see what his mindset is because

379
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 4: we haven't heard from him, and he's been quiet for

380
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:48,520
Speaker 4: about a year.

381
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 3: Yeah, he hits. Man, I'm telling you where he at.

382
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:53,600
Speaker 6: He's just like, man, I'm gonna put some music out

383
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,640
Speaker 6: and do what I do. I'm gonna go back to

384
00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:58,280
Speaker 6: the essence. I'm about to make it so far, I'm

385
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,760
Speaker 6: about to make it fun, about to get it in.

386
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:03,360
Speaker 6: And that's where he got with it. He like, man,

387
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 6: I'm just gonna keep doing me and you know whatever whatever.

388
00:17:06,280 --> 00:17:08,160
Speaker 6: But he's just chilling right now.

389
00:17:08,400 --> 00:17:10,119
Speaker 2: I was gonna ask it, do you have any pressure

390
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:11,840
Speaker 2: when you have like a Kanye at your show based

391
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 2: then a regular show with no celebrities in any pressure

392
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 2: with you will know?

393
00:17:15,800 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 3: No, not really, not not at all. Like I know

394
00:17:18,800 --> 00:17:22,000
Speaker 3: why they there. You know, everybody come to just ease,

395
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:24,280
Speaker 3: they mind and you know the pressure.

396
00:17:24,240 --> 00:17:26,159
Speaker 6: You know the pressure of this business or whatever. They

397
00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 6: just come to get away. Like we had Paul McCartney

398
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:29,280
Speaker 6: at the show.

399
00:17:29,440 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 3: You know, he just wanted to come just come hang

400
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:32,240
Speaker 3: out and kick it.

401
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 7: You know.

402
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,119
Speaker 6: Everybody come in my room at the impriv I a

403
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:41,119
Speaker 6: residency there right, It's like maybe fifty people only tops,

404
00:17:41,520 --> 00:17:44,119
Speaker 6: everybody phone locked up. You can come in there, have

405
00:17:44,280 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 6: a good time. Ain't nobody gonna record you. Ain't nobody

406
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 6: gonna be looking at you or whatever. You can have

407
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:52,679
Speaker 6: a good time. So people know that, and so they

408
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,480
Speaker 6: come and they're not filmed unless I'm filming them, and

409
00:17:55,520 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 6: then that's it, you know.

410
00:17:56,600 --> 00:17:59,320
Speaker 3: But yeah, it's a good time. We have a lot

411
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 3: of we just come through that and just to get away.

412
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,879
Speaker 3: But yeah, I ain't. I'm not gonna wave it the

413
00:18:04,920 --> 00:18:07,080
Speaker 3: way that I am. Even with Paul McCartney, I was

414
00:18:07,359 --> 00:18:11,880
Speaker 3: putting them in the head. I'm punching them, you know, high,

415
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,520
Speaker 3: and I want to. I don't want to get high.

416
00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:19,160
Speaker 6: It's just us having I mean, making him feel normal,

417
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 6: you know what I mean, Like most people walk around there,

418
00:18:22,280 --> 00:18:25,240
Speaker 6: Sir Paul, Sir Paul, you know I'm in there, like

419
00:18:25,640 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 6: calling them pe he loved and all kinds of stuff,

420
00:18:29,119 --> 00:18:31,160
Speaker 6: just anything just to make them feel normal.

421
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:33,040
Speaker 5: Started a little bit.

422
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 2: I want to ask you, you know what the successful documentary,

423
00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 2: why does a BT do more of those documentaries? Highlight

424
00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:54,080
Speaker 2: now with our heroes.

425
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:57,280
Speaker 8: We're looking at that, We are looking at that. The

426
00:18:57,359 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 8: new edition doc speaks for itself. It was very expensive.

427
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:03,800
Speaker 2: We're trying to make the money back for that because

428
00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:09,600
Speaker 2: I figured you did don't know, Okay, it's.

429
00:19:10,119 --> 00:19:14,400
Speaker 1: In the movie. Right apart documentary that's a movie.

430
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:18,440
Speaker 5: Though that was a movie. It was all above go ahead.

431
00:19:20,080 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: Because it was a movie, but it was in partant.

432
00:19:23,880 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 8: Yeah, so we're looking at it figure out can we

433
00:19:29,440 --> 00:19:32,000
Speaker 8: do it in a more efficient way. But there are

434
00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:33,800
Speaker 8: many stories out there, as you know, they need to

435
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:34,200
Speaker 8: be told.

436
00:19:35,119 --> 00:19:37,520
Speaker 4: How do you evolve a tent pole event like the

437
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:41,240
Speaker 4: nua A CP Awards so they feel like less nostalgic

438
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:43,240
Speaker 4: and more and more like a reflection of where black

439
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:43,919
Speaker 4: culture is now.

440
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:45,560
Speaker 5: Well, I think I'm going next.

441
00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 8: I think Dion is the start of that, and I

442
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,680
Speaker 8: think the type of people that we celebrate, we honor,

443
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:56,439
Speaker 8: have to be current and part of the culture right now.

444
00:19:56,880 --> 00:20:00,399
Speaker 8: So I think always culture has to be current. So

445
00:20:00,960 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 8: that's the evolution, and we also have to expand the distribution.

446
00:20:04,320 --> 00:20:07,280
Speaker 8: So you'll see a lot of stuff online this year

447
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:10,159
Speaker 8: that you never saw before. So we'll be using all

448
00:20:10,200 --> 00:20:12,040
Speaker 8: of the platforms to sort of highlight.

449
00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:16,320
Speaker 7: And recognizing that we have over sixty categories only between

450
00:20:16,440 --> 00:20:18,520
Speaker 7: eight and ten our air life for the two hours,

451
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 7: we have a dinner where we recognize you know, social

452
00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,720
Speaker 7: media content, the whole deal. The reason why Dianna is

453
00:20:24,720 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 7: important because joint and laughter is also advocacy, you know,

454
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:31,159
Speaker 7: artists advocacy. And so what most of people see is

455
00:20:31,240 --> 00:20:34,399
Speaker 7: a two hour live broadcast, but a week of activities,

456
00:20:35,320 --> 00:20:37,520
Speaker 7: you know, the golf tournament kicks off. But then the

457
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:41,080
Speaker 7: real night where we get the most celebrities is the dinner.

458
00:20:41,400 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 7: And that's when we honor all the categories from literary to.

459
00:20:46,520 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: You name it.

460
00:20:47,119 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 7: And it's a part of how we have evolved as

461
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,879
Speaker 7: an organization, how we've evolved in terms of this highlighting

462
00:20:53,520 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 7: black excellence and the entertainment industry.

463
00:20:56,119 --> 00:20:57,720
Speaker 1: Our next thing is visual arts.

464
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:00,640
Speaker 7: We have black artists in black galleries, have to honor

465
00:21:00,760 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 7: them because folks are taking up our art, elevating the

466
00:21:03,840 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 7: prices and we don't even own it.

467
00:21:05,600 --> 00:21:07,040
Speaker 1: And so we got to get to that space where

468
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,439
Speaker 1: we own more of the content that we create.

469
00:21:09,920 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: I have a question. You to raise your hand, excuse me,

470
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:14,399
Speaker 3: have a question I want to ask you. I I

471
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,320
Speaker 3: want to put nobody on frustreet, but I do have

472
00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 3: a question.

473
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:20,960
Speaker 6: So I remember when when Kanye got in trouble and

474
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:24,840
Speaker 6: Nick Cannon got in trouble and they talked to leaders

475
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 6: of the races Jewish community. So when people talk bad

476
00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:41,600
Speaker 6: about us, why isn't and there's nobody the answer to

477
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:42,280
Speaker 6: why is that?

478
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,360
Speaker 1: Well, it all depends on the situation in the scenario.

479
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:48,320
Speaker 7: So when Nick Cannon got into the score for Marve

480
00:21:48,440 --> 00:21:52,520
Speaker 7: Small who was at Paramot, right, we retally.

481
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:54,520
Speaker 1: Started talking put together strategy. He's back on the air

482
00:21:54,600 --> 00:21:55,400
Speaker 1: now right.

483
00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:58,440
Speaker 7: When Kyrie Irving got into the issues with the with

484
00:21:58,560 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 7: the Brooklyn team here Isaiah the Times and how we

485
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,360
Speaker 7: got on the phone. We came up with a strategy.

486
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 7: We got this agent, we got Kyrie on and we

487
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,920
Speaker 7: began to talk about what is the pivot.

488
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,119
Speaker 1: To save his career. So it all depends on the

489
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: scenario and whether or not the individual is open enough

490
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,080
Speaker 1: to reach out.

491
00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:14,920
Speaker 5: But that wasn't the question Dion asked.

492
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 4: What Dion said was when other racests do stuff to

493
00:22:17,680 --> 00:22:19,520
Speaker 4: offend Black people, who do they answer to?

494
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,680
Speaker 1: Who do they have to who the other races answer?

495
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,159
Speaker 6: Because because when when we do something wrong, we have

496
00:22:25,280 --> 00:22:27,840
Speaker 6: to go talk to the leaders of that race.

497
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:29,720
Speaker 1: But why do you have to do that? You don't

498
00:22:29,760 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: have to do that.

499
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:32,359
Speaker 3: I'm just I'm just I'm only asking to.

500
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,520
Speaker 1: But it goes to the individual scenario.

501
00:22:41,280 --> 00:22:43,760
Speaker 7: We should be answering to anybody I understand that. So

502
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Speaker 7: I'm gonna go to the Kyrie Irvan Peace right. So

503
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 7: the ball back came said, we want you to go

504
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,440
Speaker 7: to this museum, and that museum was like, but have

505
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:51,840
Speaker 7: you been to the African American Museum?

506
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:53,919
Speaker 1: How we're going to look at our own stuff?

507
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,680
Speaker 7: How do we begin to react based on our narrative

508
00:22:57,760 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 7: response and not somebody else's. Too often we're reacting because

509
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 7: the team around us don't look like us. That's been

510
00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 7: the problem that are far too many of these same individuals.

511
00:23:09,400 --> 00:23:12,280
Speaker 7: The agent ain't one of us, the manager is not us,

512
00:23:12,800 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 7: the lawyer's not us. So what happens Their advice is

513
00:23:16,359 --> 00:23:19,720
Speaker 7: coming from their professionals who are moving them to communities

514
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,760
Speaker 7: that's not us. But if you have people surrounding you

515
00:23:23,400 --> 00:23:26,280
Speaker 7: that look like us, understand who we are, then the

516
00:23:26,359 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 7: advice you're getting becomes even more crucial. So then you

517
00:23:30,520 --> 00:23:33,760
Speaker 7: ask yourself when you look at individual or individual, who's

518
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,520
Speaker 7: representing them, who's in their ear? Because far too many

519
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 7: of our high A caliber celebrities they leave us.

520
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,080
Speaker 4: I do like that question, Dion asked, though, because I

521
00:23:47,160 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 4: think people for so long have looked to the NAACP.

522
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:52,879
Speaker 4: I guess to be black people's version of.

523
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:53,600
Speaker 5: Like the ADL.

524
00:23:54,640 --> 00:23:56,200
Speaker 4: But by the way, the ADL is supposed to be

525
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:59,000
Speaker 4: black people's version of the ADL, it's not. They' supposed

526
00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 4: to be anti defamation for you know, black people with

527
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 4: you wish people know, But I guess that's what people

528
00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:03,720
Speaker 4: want the NAACP to be.

529
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 7: We can only be what people, when you get to

530
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:08,840
Speaker 7: a certain status, allowed to be. Like when you talk

531
00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:10,680
Speaker 7: about all these folks, who's that lawyer?

532
00:24:11,240 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 1: Is it black?

533
00:24:11,680 --> 00:24:16,800
Speaker 7: A wife, who's agent, who's representing them? That becomes the

534
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 7: key because you all know this game much better than

535
00:24:19,119 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 7: I do. In the isolation of the controversy, only those

536
00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 7: who have the ear are able to inform on how

537
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,879
Speaker 7: the move. I'm not gonna mention one particular form of

538
00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:35,400
Speaker 7: professional football player. We reached out his team knew, didn't

539
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:38,840
Speaker 7: even know who we were, and so we're trying to help,

540
00:24:38,920 --> 00:24:41,200
Speaker 7: but the team don't even know who we are, so

541
00:24:41,359 --> 00:24:44,000
Speaker 7: he can't come to us because he's all of twenty

542
00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 7: three years old, and then his whole team it doesn't

543
00:24:48,040 --> 00:24:51,159
Speaker 7: look like us don't understand the nature of what we do.

544
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,719
Speaker 1: And we still have yet to see this brother at

545
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:54,359
Speaker 1: a black event.

546
00:24:55,200 --> 00:24:57,840
Speaker 3: But I think that it should be publicized. And I.

547
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,240
Speaker 6: Think this should be publicized because it gives people and

548
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,280
Speaker 6: it makes people think like there is a consequence with

549
00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:09,520
Speaker 6: what you say, because there it's never.

550
00:25:09,440 --> 00:25:11,720
Speaker 3: Publicized that people.

551
00:25:11,920 --> 00:25:15,080
Speaker 6: It's not like somebody can go on blackface or say

552
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,560
Speaker 6: something bad and then they come over and they go

553
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:21,359
Speaker 6: and they see them sitting down with you talking and

554
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,960
Speaker 6: and you talking to them and going, you know, this

555
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 6: is what you need to do.

556
00:25:26,359 --> 00:25:29,120
Speaker 3: This, this is the forgiving them and all the rest

557
00:25:29,160 --> 00:25:29,320
Speaker 3: of that.

558
00:25:29,520 --> 00:25:32,240
Speaker 1: We never see that, we see them, but we see

559
00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: that has happened a couple of times.

560
00:25:34,720 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 9: I remember Jimmy Foulon.

561
00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: Situation, Jimmy Fallon after that, we don't remember that. It

562
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: was comments he made on the air I'm.

563
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 9: Not ala situation. Yeah, there was like a photo. There's

564
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:52,359
Speaker 9: a whole list of people that have had to come

565
00:25:52,359 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 9: to you guys and apologize and have conversations.

566
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:58,120
Speaker 1: But it goes to the Kayak example.

567
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,199
Speaker 7: Are we inform women and are young entertainers hell our

568
00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:06,760
Speaker 7: peers about their representation. We're giving our money away. I

569
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:09,560
Speaker 7: just heard a narrative of our prints. Someone wanted to

570
00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,640
Speaker 7: do his cover of song. He says, I'm not gonna

571
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 7: let you do that because you don't own the rights

572
00:26:14,119 --> 00:26:17,240
Speaker 7: of your son. I refuse to pay for these folks

573
00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:20,359
Speaker 7: grandkids to go to college off of my material. The

574
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:25,160
Speaker 7: real question for the celebrity community are we allowing ourselves

575
00:26:25,200 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 7: to be pimped as we masquerade in blackface? Because oftentimes

576
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 7: that's what's happening. BT is a much stronger entity if

577
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,000
Speaker 7: more of our folks invest in it, and ACP is

578
00:26:37,040 --> 00:26:39,960
Speaker 7: a stronger advocate if more of our folks invest in it.

579
00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 7: My membership roster, those who support me are everyday working people.

580
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:47,760
Speaker 7: That's a beautiful thing. That's who we represent. But we

581
00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 7: have to be honest about this conversation. Three hundred and

582
00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,639
Speaker 7: sixty degrees. Are we investing in our young people who've

583
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:58,159
Speaker 7: gone to law school, who are ad agencies, who can

584
00:26:58,240 --> 00:27:01,360
Speaker 7: actually do the thing, and making sure we're repped by them.

585
00:27:01,880 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 9: I have a question, so, and it's going back to

586
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 9: what you said about with Nick Cannon and not Colin Kaepernick,

587
00:27:09,200 --> 00:27:11,520
Speaker 9: Kyrie Irving. You said, why do you think that we

588
00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:12,760
Speaker 9: have to go and apologize?

589
00:27:12,960 --> 00:27:13,080
Speaker 7: Right?

590
00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,639
Speaker 9: So when people come to you guys to have those conversations,

591
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:18,440
Speaker 9: to apologize, to do the whole dance in the tour

592
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,320
Speaker 9: why do you guys entertain the conversation if there are

593
00:27:21,440 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 9: leaders like you in the NAACP who feel that way,

594
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:25,639
Speaker 9: because I know Morgan Waland did the same thing as

595
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:25,960
Speaker 9: well too.

596
00:27:26,280 --> 00:27:27,960
Speaker 1: Well, First of all, we.

597
00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 7: Have to understand the historical nature so we don't offend people,

598
00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:34,600
Speaker 7: whether you black, white, male, female, or whatever the case

599
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 7: may be. And there are certain scenarios where we make mistakes.

600
00:27:38,560 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 7: People make mistakes, and how do you get from under

601
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,920
Speaker 7: that when you are when you are actually relying on

602
00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:48,440
Speaker 7: the public for your support. So sometimes you do apologize

603
00:27:48,520 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 7: because if I made an offensive comment towards black women,

604
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,960
Speaker 7: y'all to be upside my head, I do need to

605
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,040
Speaker 7: pivot and apologize because if I made that mistake, But

606
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 7: in doing so, you need to do it in a

607
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,600
Speaker 7: way in which you're not demeaning yourself, that you're not

608
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,959
Speaker 7: portraying the essence of who you are, and you can

609
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:08,879
Speaker 7: be honest that I made this mistake, you know, er

610
00:28:09,320 --> 00:28:11,560
Speaker 7: learn from it and move forward. So sometimes you do

611
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:14,800
Speaker 7: have we do need to apologize. But if you got

612
00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 7: a team that surrounded you that is not from our community,

613
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 7: what happens there is you don't know who to apologize to. Properly,

614
00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,480
Speaker 7: and you don't know what the apology look like. And

615
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 7: then you have people saying you gotta apologize, Plus you

616
00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:29,080
Speaker 7: gotta donate to this thing over here, give money to

617
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:29,880
Speaker 7: that thing over there.

618
00:28:31,440 --> 00:28:33,040
Speaker 1: Just some people that ain't gonna like you for the

619
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,280
Speaker 1: rest and to need that check. You don't see that

620
00:28:36,359 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: this museum when Hampton needs that check or Howard needs

621
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:38,920
Speaker 1: that check.

622
00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:42,320
Speaker 4: That's interesting. You know, there's always criticism that BET isn't

623
00:28:42,320 --> 00:28:44,880
Speaker 4: black owned. So so how do you balance BET being

624
00:28:44,960 --> 00:28:47,959
Speaker 4: part of a large corporate instructure while still serving as

625
00:28:47,960 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 4: a platform for black voices.

626
00:28:50,480 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 8: Well, one of the I think, dirty little secret. It's

627
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,920
Speaker 8: not black owned, but it is black run. It's about

628
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,960
Speaker 8: ninety some percent of the people who run BET look

629
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:02,560
Speaker 8: like us. Uh. They come from our communities that have

630
00:29:02,760 --> 00:29:05,560
Speaker 8: done extremely well. One of the things that I want

631
00:29:05,600 --> 00:29:07,560
Speaker 8: to do, and I said this or the first week

632
00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 8: on the job, is really highlight the people who run

633
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:14,160
Speaker 8: be ET. We have some very strong, intelligent people who

634
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 8: run be ET. And you usual only know that one

635
00:29:16,520 --> 00:29:19,200
Speaker 8: face or two faces that are at the company. There's

636
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,560
Speaker 8: a team of leadership there that I think really our

637
00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 8: community needs to know and our community needs to engage

638
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:25,960
Speaker 8: with hey.

639
00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:27,880
Speaker 6: With the new shows and stuff when they come back,

640
00:29:27,880 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 6: can you make sure everybody hairline ain't super crispy on show?

641
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 3: Not that's what people want. Risty, you've been caged.

642
00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,280
Speaker 1: You've been caged for three.

643
00:29:53,160 --> 00:30:00,000
Speaker 3: Weeks for a beer. But crispy hairlins, hairlines of normal.

644
00:30:00,440 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 4: I want to give you the opportunity to teach to

645
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:05,160
Speaker 4: deck because people like to say the NAACP was started

646
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 4: by white folks.

647
00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:10,720
Speaker 7: So in nineteen o nine, people who we think are

648
00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:12,080
Speaker 7: who we see as white today, they.

649
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: Were not considered white in nineteen o nine.

650
00:30:13,960 --> 00:30:16,040
Speaker 7: Jewish people were not considered white in nineteen o nine,

651
00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:20,640
Speaker 7: nor was Italian Catholics. The nac people was created by

652
00:30:21,160 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 7: a set of individuals who were othered. They were not

653
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:26,000
Speaker 7: a part of the main stream. It wasn't until the

654
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,040
Speaker 7: late twenties, thirties and then after World War Two that

655
00:30:29,200 --> 00:30:31,760
Speaker 7: people we see now as white are considered white.

656
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: And so this concept that ACP.

657
00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 7: Will started by white folks, No we will, started by

658
00:30:35,760 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 7: a group of people who were other not be very clear.

659
00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 7: Black folks created inn ACP with the Niagara Movement with W. B.

660
00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 7: De Boys, Id B. Wells, William Roy Trotter. They came

661
00:30:46,200 --> 00:30:48,040
Speaker 7: to a meeting that next year as a result of

662
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:50,600
Speaker 7: a racial incident that happened in Spring for of the Noise,

663
00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:54,040
Speaker 7: and they agreed collectively to start an organization that was

664
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:59,640
Speaker 7: national scope that represent colored people across the spectrum, whether

665
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:03,920
Speaker 7: you was Irish, Catholic, or Jewish or black, whatever, because

666
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:07,040
Speaker 7: democracy was not being applied to all of those communities,

667
00:31:07,480 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 7: and so this fallacy that will started by white people

668
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:13,000
Speaker 7: in nineteen on nine. Those folks won't consider white. They

669
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:16,400
Speaker 7: only became white when it was politically expeded. If you

670
00:31:16,560 --> 00:31:19,520
Speaker 7: was Italian, you was not considered white. When LaGuardia got

671
00:31:19,560 --> 00:31:22,520
Speaker 7: elected in this city, he was not considered white. And

672
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:26,560
Speaker 7: as a result, over time, the Italian community became a

673
00:31:26,640 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 7: part of the social construct of whiteness. We never will

674
00:31:30,680 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 7: because this ain't going nowhere. So we have to be

675
00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,160
Speaker 7: black to the bone and be clear and proud about

676
00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:39,400
Speaker 7: it through and through. But no one did us a

677
00:31:39,440 --> 00:31:41,880
Speaker 7: favorite in creating an organization. They was creating an organization

678
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 7: to advocate for their own security as well.

679
00:31:46,200 --> 00:31:48,440
Speaker 5: Let's look at some of these nominees, Lauren, pull them up.

Speaker 3: Picked.

732
00:34:44,600 --> 00:34:47,240
Speaker 2: How do how do people decide who to these categories?

733
00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:49,440
Speaker 1: So there's a first of all, you have to submit

734
00:34:49,560 --> 00:34:50,160
Speaker 1: your content.

735
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:54,719
Speaker 7: There is a committee people in the industry and lay

736
00:34:54,800 --> 00:34:58,080
Speaker 7: persons over three hundred plus people to nominate. And then

737
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 7: once you are nominated, uh, you're voted on. Depending on

738
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:03,920
Speaker 7: the category, it could be a committee that votes on

739
00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:06,760
Speaker 7: you of experts. So the literary committee, you have individuals

740
00:35:06,760 --> 00:35:07,360
Speaker 7: who read a lot of.

741
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:08,359
Speaker 1: Books, right.

742
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 7: Uh.

743
00:35:09,480 --> 00:35:12,600
Speaker 1: Some of the categories is is uh you know, anyone

744
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:15,800
Speaker 1: can vote, you know, the mask vote and other categories.

745
00:35:15,840 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 7: There is another voting committee and so it's broken up

746
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:21,239
Speaker 7: so no one has the thumb on the scale for

00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 4: donating like they feel like, oh again.

787
00:37:10,040 --> 00:37:13,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's like, you know, I'm exhausted from eating. There

788
00:37:13,760 --> 00:37:15,440
Speaker 7: if I'm not gonna eat anymore and I'm gonna die

789
00:37:15,480 --> 00:37:18,920
Speaker 7: because I don't eat. Dion is a good example, said earlier.

790
00:37:19,040 --> 00:37:21,040
Speaker 7: Joy and laughter is a part of advocacy, and we

791
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:23,960
Speaker 7: recognize that so many of our people are consuming the

792
00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,120
Speaker 7: information from sports and comedy, so we're trying to get

793
00:37:27,160 --> 00:37:29,880
Speaker 7: more into that space so you can be entertained but

794
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:34,280
Speaker 7: also be informed. We cannot promote this concept that we're exhausted.

795
00:37:34,360 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 7: We have to just drive in the notion that if

796
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,600
Speaker 7: we don't participate, you think things are bad now, it's.

797
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:42,879
Speaker 1: Only going to get worse. A year ago, we didn't think.

798
00:37:42,800 --> 00:37:45,320
Speaker 7: It was going to be this bad, and as a

799
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:47,640
Speaker 7: result of some of us not participating, it was more

800
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:50,080
Speaker 7: people not voting that voted in our community.

801
00:37:50,400 --> 00:37:53,320
Speaker 1: Therefore, we have to drive the notion that voting is

802
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:54,800
Speaker 1: like breathing and eating.

803
00:37:55,000 --> 00:37:58,799
Speaker 7: You must do it regardless of your fatigue, because if

804
00:37:58,840 --> 00:38:00,040
Speaker 7: you don't, you won't be able to.

805
00:38:00,200 --> 00:38:01,000
Speaker 5: Breathe or eat.

806
00:38:01,120 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 4: So you have moments like I think last year y'all

807
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 4: had Vice President Kamala Harris. You know, she won an

808
00:38:06,840 --> 00:38:08,719
Speaker 4: award and she gave her speech. Are you gonna have

809
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:09,279
Speaker 4: moments like that?

810
00:38:10,040 --> 00:38:10,759
Speaker 1: We're more than likely.

811
00:38:10,880 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 7: I mean, we're the NACP absolutely in between Deon Teller's

812
00:38:14,360 --> 00:38:15,040
Speaker 7: from great jokes.

813
00:38:16,280 --> 00:38:19,080
Speaker 8: But I think Charlamagne to that point of exhaustion, I

814
00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,320
Speaker 8: think it's on all of us to make sure that

815
00:38:21,400 --> 00:38:25,160
Speaker 8: our community doesn't get exhausted. I mean, because people are

816
00:38:25,160 --> 00:38:27,560
Speaker 8: gonna get tired at different moments of time depending on

817
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:30,440
Speaker 8: what happens in the community. So I think it's important,

818
00:38:30,680 --> 00:38:33,719
Speaker 8: especially those of us in the media, that we continue

819
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 8: to push and motivate and inspire people.

820
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 7: And we just launched an ACP Plus. It's a platform

821
00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:43,400
Speaker 7: for podcasts, short form media for that very reason. We

822
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:46,600
Speaker 7: just launch a venture capital fund so we can reinvest

823
00:38:46,640 --> 00:38:48,919
Speaker 7: in our communities at two hundred million dollars raise. We're

824
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:52,160
Speaker 7: the organization that we realize that the sum total of

825
00:38:52,239 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 7: the Black experience goes beyond entertainment, goes beyond what goes

826
00:38:55,360 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 7: on to DC is everything that we do, we try

827
00:38:58,000 --> 00:38:59,160
Speaker 7: to be in all of those spaces.

828
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:03,520
Speaker 2: Fifty seventh NAACP Image Awards goes down on B E,

829
00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:08,040
