Have you ever noticed that 183 00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:32,640 Speaker 2: Beyonce has never discussed the gender quality slash personhood or 184 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,560 Speaker 2: blue until she was of age to begin coming into 185 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,120 Speaker 2: her own Many people will start tripping and feminine the 186 00:09:38,160 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 2: masculine behavior or traits to their child based off of 187 00:09:40,720 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 2: what they wish, oh believe they will become. But in 188 00:09:44,600 --> 00:09:47,280 Speaker 2: this album, Beyonce talks about giving Blue her vintage dresses 189 00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 2: and success without the limitations of the glass ceiling, which 190 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 2: is closely associated to womanhood, and this is the first 191 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,200 Speaker 2: time I've heard her speak of her that way. They 192 00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,680 Speaker 2: also both a frayed for characterizing Roomy as certain in 193 00:09:57,679 --> 00:10:00,160 Speaker 2: the same manner. Oh yeah, I never really know is 194 00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:04,480 Speaker 2: that before? But yeah, no, you bring it up. Yeah, 195 00:10:04,520 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 2: I mean, And I mean there's also just a part 196 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:11,360 Speaker 2: of it too, where Beyonce is so private, even though 197 00:10:11,360 --> 00:10:13,520 Speaker 2: people stand for her and she's the biggest star in 198 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,640 Speaker 2: the world and all this stuff, she keeps so much 199 00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 2: shit to herself, and she doesn't really do interviews, so 200 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 2: you know, who knows exactly how what her thinking is 201 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:28,480 Speaker 2: along those lines, you know. So, I mean, it could 202 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:31,439 Speaker 2: have just literally been behind the scenes, she may be 203 00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,800 Speaker 2: a different way, and publicly she's just like it's none 204 00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:38,199 Speaker 2: of y'all's fucking business, you know, Or maybe she's like, yeah, she. 205 00:10:38,200 --> 00:10:40,199 Speaker 3: Could be like that at all times. I don't know. 206 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 2: You were right that this is the album we need 207 00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:46,600 Speaker 2: but don't realize it. Sonically, it delivers instrumentality and with 208 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:50,280 Speaker 2: Bee's voice the creativity that people often ask of the 209 00:10:50,320 --> 00:10:54,680 Speaker 2: industry but will sleep on. Also the notion of love, freedom, forgiveness, legacy, 210 00:10:54,679 --> 00:10:57,960 Speaker 2: and my personal petty favorite, the addressal of people's desire 211 00:10:58,000 --> 00:10:59,040 Speaker 2: to control who be is. 212 00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:02,120 Speaker 3: And how she presents herself. Who so much to unpack there? 213 00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,240 Speaker 2: Yeah, yep, man, I still listen to the album probably 214 00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:10,920 Speaker 2: like once a day or whatever.

Like I'll talk about that 219 00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 2: album all the time. I was talking about on Twitter 220 00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 2: last night about how you know, my favorite one of 221 00:11:30,080 --> 00:11:33,319 Speaker 2: my favorite lines on that album is where would I 222 00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:36,840 Speaker 2: be without my friends?

But you know, 229 00:11:56,520 --> 00:12:00,000 Speaker 2: it does seem like people had these artificial relationships because 230 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,160 Speaker 2: we you know, collide into each other via social media 231 00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:05,800 Speaker 2: over and over and over again, right, talk about things 232 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,560 Speaker 2: street people, you get little cliques, people form groups, people 233 00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:12,280 Speaker 2: get you know, like that's their you know, kind of 234 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:15,839 Speaker 2: online friendship circles or whatever, even if you never met 235 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:20,120 Speaker 2: them or whatever.

Ultimately, 344 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:33,880 Speaker 2: my point is they need to go away. This would 345 00:17:33,920 --> 00:17:35,520 Speaker 2: allow me to no longer see them, right. 346 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,120 Speaker 3: But remember how angry people got about that. 347 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 4: People lost their motherfucking minds. 348 00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:41,560 Speaker 3: Like it was like a lot of people, I will 349 00:17:41,680 --> 00:17:42,240 Speaker 3: leave Twitter. 350 00:17:42,760 --> 00:17:46,680 Speaker 2: This is enabling harassment, which is Twitter with trolls and shit. 351 00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,359 Speaker 2: It's harassments always gonna be there as long as there 352 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,480 Speaker 2: are human beings. There would be a way around every 353 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,120 Speaker 2: single set of rules that try to bar harassments. 354 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 5: And be told, if Twitter was actually smart, they're actually 355 00:17:58,960 --> 00:18:00,680 Speaker 5: put that function in there, not say shit. 356 00:18:01,320 --> 00:18:03,120 Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's what they should have done. 357 00:18:03,280 --> 00:18:03,399 Speaker 4: Right. 358 00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 5: They shouldn't have made an announcement or anything, just put 359 00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:06,200 Speaker 5: that shit out there. 360 00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,520 Speaker 2: Well, let me tell you something. This is what I 361 00:18:08,560 --> 00:18:10,800 Speaker 2: was thinking about. And I may have said at the time, 362 00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:12,840 Speaker 2: but I was thinking it was really relevant to what 363 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,240 Speaker 2: I was thinking about last night. You know why people 364 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:20,959 Speaker 2: would rather block somebody and myself included? Uh, I mean not. 365 00:18:21,160 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 2: When I say myself included, I wasn't an outraged. If 366 00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:24,680 Speaker 2: they would have switched it, I would have been fine, 367 00:18:24,720 --> 00:18:28,879 Speaker 2: but myself included. With the idea of blocking somebody, it 368 00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:33,199 Speaker 2: gives you a symbol of power that's not real, but 369 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:34,520 Speaker 2: it's a symbol of power. 370 00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:38,800 Speaker 3: Like I blocked you. You can't see my stuff and 371 00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:39,560 Speaker 3: you know it. 372 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,320 Speaker 2: When you go to my page, you get a little 373 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:45,480 Speaker 2: notification that says, hey, hey, I don't like you, and 374 00:18:45,520 --> 00:18:49,600 Speaker 2: that's more important than the functionality of the site, which 375 00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,359 Speaker 2: was certain saying purpose to be like, actually you don't 376 00:18:52,359 --> 00:18:54,440 Speaker 2: know that. I don't fuck with you and I got 377 00:18:54,480 --> 00:18:57,640 Speaker 2: you blocked. You just go to my page see everything 378 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:00,199 Speaker 2: as normal. You can fucking hate on me all day. 379 00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,200 Speaker 2: You can say whatever you want. I'll never see it. 380 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,520 Speaker 2: I'm absolutely fine with us too, right, Like I would. 381 00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:07,040 Speaker 3: Be cool with that. 382 00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:12,639 Speaker 2: But it's funny that the block function is so alluring 383 00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,520 Speaker 2: to the people on social media because we need that 384 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,080 Speaker 2: power over people to hold that grudge. And that's kind 385 00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 2: of how I feel about stuff, Like, you know, when 386 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,040 Speaker 2: these dudes quote unquote start to grow, that's how I 387 00:19:25,040 --> 00:19:27,800 Speaker 2: feel about it. Like where it's like, you know, and 388 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:29,960 Speaker 2: not even dudes, all these people. There's people that have 389 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 2: been homophobic, there's people that have been transphobic, misogynist, racist, 390 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:38,240 Speaker 2: all kinds of shit, and they start having these like 391 00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:39,000 Speaker 2: I fucked up. 392 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:40,679 Speaker 3: Let me figure out what's wrong with me. 393 00:19:40,880 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 2: Hey, I was fucked up. You don't have to be 394 00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 2: this is where I fucked up. This is what y'all 395 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,240 Speaker 2: can do better than me. And we're still like, but 396 00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 2: I don't want to let go that grudge. The grudge 397 00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:50,800 Speaker 2: feels like power. 398 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:52,760 Speaker 4: Yeah, that's what it is. 399 00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 5: And the thing is people people always want to have 400 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,919 Speaker 5: power over you because when they have power over you, 401 00:19:59,000 --> 00:20:02,320 Speaker 5: they quote unquote like they have control. And there's nothing 402 00:20:02,359 --> 00:20:05,200 Speaker 5: worse than a person that's controlling realizing that they lost 403 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:08,640 Speaker 5: the power. Because what happens is that once that person goes, oh, 404 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:11,639 Speaker 5: you're gonna ever be mad. Cool, But what I'm gonna 405 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:15,480 Speaker 5: do is going over here, I'm a business, keep living, 406 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,040 Speaker 5: that person fucking flips out and freaks out because all 407 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 5: of a sudden they can't control you. They they've lost 408 00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,760 Speaker 5: that power over you that they thought they had. It 409 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,840 Speaker 5: was always an illusion anyway, but they thought that they 410 00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:30,000 Speaker 5: had power over you. Because at the end of the day, 411 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 5: a lot of people just like to control everybody and 412 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:39,119 Speaker 5: everyone around them. And I think that, like you said, 413 00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:42,840 Speaker 5: that power of a now you know, you know type of. 414 00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,000 Speaker 4: Thing, and I think. 415 00:20:46,200 --> 00:20:49,479 Speaker 5: For me, I could kill us, Like I said, if 416 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,360 Speaker 5: they were smart, they would just put that function out 417 00:20:51,400 --> 00:20:53,520 Speaker 5: there anyway. Now they gotta to put it out there 418 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 5: now and not say nothing and people will be just fine. 419 00:20:56,440 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 3: Yeah. 420 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:01,119 Speaker 2: My big thing is we like to know, we that 421 00:21:01,119 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 2: that we want the other person to know. You know, 422 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,160 Speaker 2: that's the big thing, and I think we all have 423 00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:09,160 Speaker 2: it in us, Like I'm no exception to this shit. 424 00:21:10,480 --> 00:21:12,600 Speaker 3: But it's just funny because. 425 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,520 Speaker 2: To me, this album is about something that a lesson 426 00:21:17,560 --> 00:21:19,840 Speaker 2: that a lot of people. It's gotten lost. It has 427 00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:24,640 Speaker 2: gotten lost, it really has. It's become weak to forgive. 428 00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 2: It's become glorified to be petty. It's become praise worthy 429 00:21:30,560 --> 00:21:32,840 Speaker 2: to be like, if I don't fuck with you, I'm 430 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:33,639 Speaker 2: never gonna fucus. 431 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:34,200 Speaker 3: It's come. 432 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:38,160 Speaker 2: It's reached this other level where it's doing more damage 433 00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 2: to be that way than good. And I fucking live 434 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 2: by my word. So if I say that shit, I 435 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:49,040 Speaker 2: mean it, like, you know, conflict resolution skills, That shit matters. 436 00:21:49,440 --> 00:21:52,000 Speaker 2: It's wild that when we're kids we have peer mediation. 437 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:55,119 Speaker 2: We have all this stuff. God is counseled stuff. Right 438 00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 2: once you get to be an adult. The stuff we 439 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:02,439 Speaker 2: use for peer mediation, police the legal system, you know, 440 00:22:03,880 --> 00:22:07,040 Speaker 2: gathering online on social media and bullying and harassing people 441 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:11,760 Speaker 2: and shit like like you watch people just kind of 442 00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 2: go through this ship where it's just like they're publicly 443 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,840 Speaker 2: dragging and embarrassing folks, and I'm like y'all could have 444 00:22:19,200 --> 00:22:22,440 Speaker 2: This could have been a phone call. This could have 445 00:22:22,520 --> 00:22:25,159 Speaker 2: been you know, let's sit down and break bread and 446 00:22:25,200 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 2: talk about this shit. This could have been a lot 447 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,439 Speaker 2: of things. But instead it's gonna be this. You know, 448 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:35,920 Speaker 2: and I meant it.

I grew up in a house where things 1534 01:12:08,960 --> 01:12:12,000 Speaker 2: or not talked about or made funny. I always grew 1535 01:12:12,040 --> 01:12:14,400 Speaker 2: up in the home where children just keep their mouth shut. Luckily, 1536 01:12:14,439 --> 01:12:16,600 Speaker 2: I had teachers and counselors in high school that helped me, 1537 01:12:16,880 --> 01:12:18,719 Speaker 2: or I would have been expelled from high school because 1538 01:12:18,720 --> 01:12:20,719 Speaker 2: of my angry outbursts.

Like, 1619 01:16:09,400 --> 01:16:12,760 Speaker 2: it's some real fucked up shit, and I don't want 1620 01:16:12,800 --> 01:16:16,160 Speaker 2: to celebrate it, but I'm not. But I also know 1621 01:16:16,240 --> 01:16:18,720 Speaker 2: that that is my culture and I won't deny my 1622 01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:21,120 Speaker 2: culture and my heritage. But at the same time, like, 1623 01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:25,160 Speaker 2: there has to be changes made within the culture and 1624 01:16:25,240 --> 01:16:29,400 Speaker 2: within ourselves to not glorify or to revel in some 1625 01:16:29,479 --> 01:16:33,639 Speaker 2: of this negativity. And part of that is the idea 1626 01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:36,800 Speaker 2: that you can't be vulnerable man, you know. So it 1627 01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:39,639 Speaker 2: was cool to hear him talk about that. My favorite 1628 01:16:39,640 --> 01:16:41,400 Speaker 2: part of his story was when he talked about learning 1629 01:16:41,479 --> 01:16:43,000 Speaker 2: how to cry. One day his son came in and 1630 01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:44,880 Speaker 2: asked him why he was crying. He's a response to 1631 01:16:44,960 --> 01:16:47,800 Speaker 2: us because I can Yeah, that was some deep shit, man. 1632 01:16:48,200 --> 01:16:49,960 Speaker 3: So I love when that dude is on. 1633 01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:54,040 Speaker 2: There because it's always it's always good conversation. But you know, 1634 01:16:54,600 --> 01:16:56,720 Speaker 2: like I said, it's I think it's just important for. 1635 01:16:56,800 --> 01:16:57,760 Speaker 3: People to be able to. 1636 01:16:59,400 --> 01:17:02,240 Speaker 2: Have space that because you know, we always say we 1637 01:17:02,280 --> 01:17:03,240 Speaker 2: want to see that from. 1638 01:17:03,160 --> 01:17:05,639 Speaker 3: Dudes and shit, but then when they do it. 1639 01:17:05,520 --> 01:17:07,479 Speaker 2: It's like, don't you pat them on the back, don't 1640 01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:08,800 Speaker 2: notice it, don't talk about it. 1641 01:17:08,840 --> 01:17:11,240 Speaker 3: But half of the problem is when it comes to 1642 01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:11,759 Speaker 3: that kind. 1643 01:17:11,600 --> 01:17:13,960 Speaker 2: Of emotional shit with men, is we don't acknowledge it. 1644 01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:16,600 Speaker 2: We don't talk about it, and we just pretend it 1645 01:17:16,600 --> 01:17:19,400 Speaker 2: didn't happen. And I don't think people understand that. That's 1646 01:17:19,560 --> 01:17:23,040 Speaker 2: half of the problem is that we shit like that 1647 01:17:23,120 --> 01:17:23,920 Speaker 2: happens and we just. 1648 01:17:23,880 --> 01:17:27,320 Speaker 3: Go won't look at the nigga. That's the nigga was crying, and. 1649 01:17:27,360 --> 01:17:29,960 Speaker 2: It's and that's fucked up because it takes you back 1650 01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:32,200 Speaker 2: to that place where you're like, get my man on 1651 01:17:32,640 --> 01:17:33,920 Speaker 2: and back to the negative shit. 1652 01:17:34,240 --> 01:17:38,439 Speaker 3: So I don't know, I liked it. Let's see. 1653 01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:43,160 Speaker 2: Falcon Diva says, I really liked I really needed this episode. 1654 01:17:43,280 --> 01:17:45,040 Speaker 2: I let the quick comment on the pole, but yeah, 1655 01:17:45,080 --> 01:17:47,760 Speaker 2: life is real hard right now. First, Karen, you may 1656 01:17:47,800 --> 01:17:49,479 Speaker 2: have heard this already, but check to see if your 1657 01:17:49,520 --> 01:17:53,080 Speaker 2: company has EAP Employee Assistance program.

Anyway, I 1659 01:17:56,120 --> 01:17:58,200 Speaker 2: celebrate your decision to get therapy. I've been listening to 1660 01:17:58,320 --> 01:18:00,720 Speaker 2: Therapy for Black Girls podcast for a while now. Came 1661 01:18:00,760 --> 01:18:03,479 Speaker 2: in to it at twenty eighteen, determined to get a 1662 01:18:03,479 --> 01:18:06,320 Speaker 2: to therapist, and I went to Doctor Jeye's Therapy for 1663 01:18:06,360 --> 01:18:09,799 Speaker 2: Black Girls directory to find one. Then I would get 1664 01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:13,240 Speaker 2: busy and forget. Then I would listen to another podcast 1665 01:18:13,240 --> 01:18:15,280 Speaker 2: episode and look again. It was a silly cycle. Then 1666 01:18:15,320 --> 01:18:17,120 Speaker 2: my uncle passed and it seemed like my entire life 1667 01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:19,519 Speaker 2: went into a spiral dealing with all that and the 1668 01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:21,920 Speaker 2: family drama that came with it. Shit started breaking down, 1669 01:18:21,960 --> 01:18:24,280 Speaker 2: the house, car trouble, you name it. So now I 1670 01:18:24,320 --> 01:18:26,080 Speaker 2: was at a point where I needed a therapist, so 1671 01:18:26,120 --> 01:18:28,000 Speaker 2: I made a list.

Black 2314 01:48:26,439 --> 01:48:28,719 Speaker 2: folks especially have been in survival mode for a long 2315 01:48:28,720 --> 01:48:32,400 Speaker 2: long time, and social media has confirmed some of our 2316 01:48:32,439 --> 01:48:35,320 Speaker 2: worst fears. The lashing out that we see and do 2317 01:48:35,560 --> 01:48:38,880 Speaker 2: is in large part defensive survival. It sucks that so 2318 01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:42,920 Speaker 2: much of our energy and our genius Gendernock forming inclusive 2319 01:48:43,520 --> 01:48:46,880 Speaker 2: is used to used on this multi generational fight for 2320 01:48:46,960 --> 01:48:50,280 Speaker 2: dignity and equality of our humanity. We're physically, mentally and 2321 01:48:50,280 --> 01:48:53,920 Speaker 2: emotionally exhausted. Missteps are taken personally because it feels like 2322 01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:56,840 Speaker 2: a wrong mood, the wrong language, wrong strategy. Can see 2323 01:48:56,880 --> 01:48:59,120 Speaker 2: the mess with the entire thing for everyone, and to 2324 01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:01,200 Speaker 2: some extent that can be perceived to be true. 2325 01:49:01,680 --> 01:49:04,080 Speaker 3: Dog you that you are speaking the truth. 2326 01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:08,320 Speaker 2: I hear all other folks questioning whether immigration integration is 2327 01:49:08,320 --> 01:49:10,640 Speaker 2: the best strategy for us. I see the back and 2328 01:49:10,680 --> 01:49:13,639 Speaker 2: forth about how we got hurt here and how we 2329 01:49:14,120 --> 01:49:17,800 Speaker 2: get unstuck so that we can get free. I'm not 2330 01:49:17,880 --> 01:49:20,360 Speaker 2: sure what that means for us, or how much we 2331 01:49:20,400 --> 01:49:22,559 Speaker 2: owe each other, if we if we owe each other. 2332 01:49:23,560 --> 01:49:25,160 Speaker 3: I don't either, man, I don't know. 2333 01:49:25,960 --> 01:49:29,040 Speaker 2: I know we're not a monolift, and but we're still 2334 01:49:29,080 --> 01:49:32,879 Speaker 2: in that situation where I don't think we've truly accepted 2335 01:49:32,920 --> 01:49:36,280 Speaker 2: that this is the idea of black unity is not. 2336 01:49:37,560 --> 01:49:40,320 Speaker 3: It's a pipe dream in a lot of ways. 2337 01:49:40,840 --> 01:49:44,360 Speaker 2: And maybe it always was, and the thing that unified 2338 01:49:44,400 --> 01:49:48,000 Speaker 2: us was the oppression that was coming no matter what 2339 01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:50,280 Speaker 2: you look like and where you lived. 2340 01:49:51,360 --> 01:49:53,240 Speaker 3: But even then, man, I mean. 2341 01:49:54,800 --> 01:49:57,760 Speaker 2: When when we went to the African American History Museum 2342 01:49:58,240 --> 01:50:01,479 Speaker 2: and remember Emma Tills, Mama, Mammy Teal was being like yo, 2343 01:50:01,560 --> 01:50:03,360 Speaker 2: I didn't think that. I was like, that's them niggas 2344 01:50:03,360 --> 01:50:07,720 Speaker 2: down south. And then they killed my son. So I mean, 2345 01:50:07,760 --> 01:50:10,360 Speaker 2: it seemed like this shit always been this way. We 2346 01:50:10,479 --> 01:50:13,200 Speaker 2: just have a part, you know how I talked about 2347 01:50:13,280 --> 01:50:15,240 Speaker 2: education and the Civil War. 2348 01:50:15,360 --> 01:50:15,559 Speaker 4: Shit. 2349 01:50:16,200 --> 01:50:18,000 Speaker 3: Part of the problem is too we all. 2350 01:50:17,840 --> 01:50:21,879 Speaker 2: Got the we've got the same narrative of the civil 2351 01:50:22,040 --> 01:50:24,920 Speaker 2: rights movement. A lot of us don't know shit about 2352 01:50:24,920 --> 01:50:27,200 Speaker 2: the Civil rights movement except what white people told us 2353 01:50:27,280 --> 01:50:29,960 Speaker 2: was okay to learn and it's all shit like. And 2354 01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:33,719 Speaker 2: then Martin Luther King died and after he was nailed 2355 01:50:33,760 --> 01:50:36,280 Speaker 2: to the cross, he said, father, forgive the white man 2356 01:50:36,400 --> 01:50:40,240 Speaker 2: sins and we and we that's what we learned. And 2357 01:50:40,280 --> 01:50:44,160 Speaker 2: so even in that, you know, we have we have 2358 01:50:44,240 --> 01:50:50,839 Speaker 2: a mythical belief in monolithic blackness because we were taught 2359 01:50:51,400 --> 01:50:54,200 Speaker 2: that black unity was based off the civil rights movement. 2360 01:50:54,280 --> 01:50:57,000 Speaker 2: And meanwhile, within the civil rights movement, a lot of 2361 01:50:57,120 --> 01:51:00,280 Speaker 2: niggas didn't even fuck with each other. A lot of 2362 01:51:00,280 --> 01:51:02,840 Speaker 2: black people like nik y'all ever take the bus, you 2363 01:51:02,880 --> 01:51:05,080 Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like like it was. It was 2364 01:51:05,240 --> 01:51:07,960 Speaker 2: never a magical unity, but we just got taught. 2365 01:51:07,680 --> 01:51:08,840 Speaker 3: That it was, you know. 2366 01:51:09,120 --> 01:51:12,120 Speaker 2: And and I think that's it's done us a huge 2367 01:51:12,120 --> 01:51:14,280 Speaker 2: disservice because we still expect that from each other. The 2368 01:51:14,280 --> 01:51:16,479 Speaker 2: truth of the matter is a small number of black 2369 01:51:16,520 --> 01:51:22,160 Speaker 2: folks can still make changes, big changes, but it's never 2370 01:51:22,200 --> 01:51:25,759 Speaker 2: gonna be everybody on board ever, no matter if everybody 2371 01:51:25,800 --> 01:51:28,519 Speaker 2: benefits from it, it don't matter. Yeah, and you're gonna have to, Yeah, 2372 01:51:28,520 --> 01:51:30,120 Speaker 2: people gonna have to get used to doing work for 2373 01:51:30,160 --> 01:51:32,120 Speaker 2: people that really don't give a fuck about them and 2374 01:51:32,200 --> 01:51:34,800 Speaker 2: will take advantage and credit for all the. 2375 01:51:34,800 --> 01:51:37,240 Speaker 3: Hard work that they did to move people forward. It's 2376 01:51:37,280 --> 01:51:40,120 Speaker 3: fucked up. It's real fucked up, you know. 2377 01:51:40,160 --> 01:51:41,599 Speaker 2: That's one of the reasons I try to stay out 2378 01:51:41,640 --> 01:51:44,120 Speaker 2: of the whole activism space specifically because of that. 2379 01:51:44,200 --> 01:51:46,320 Speaker 3: It's fucked up. People do fucked up shit. 2380 01:51:46,439 --> 01:51:50,720 Speaker 2: You never know nobody's intentions, and motherfuckers can literally have 2381 01:51:50,880 --> 01:51:53,719 Speaker 2: because they do feel like it's life and death.
