15
00:01:08,680 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 1: live on Instagram. Make sure that you subscribe to the podcast.

16
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,679
Speaker 1: Want to do a better job of making sure also

17
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:23,840
Speaker 1: that I am involving uh folks on YouTube if you

18
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:27,520
Speaker 1: have not subscribed to the YouTube page. This is really important, guys,

19
00:01:27,600 --> 00:01:30,000
Speaker 1: because I have to do a better job of making

20
00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: sure that I'm getting this content out um as quickly

21
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: as possible and on multiple strings. Everyone doesn't listen to Instagram.

22
00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 1: Some folks follow me on Twitter and I'm uh, and

23
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: I realized there's a YouTube base out there that may

24
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,160
Speaker 1: not be on either or so I'm I'm trying to

25
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,120
Speaker 1: do a good job, a better job of having you

26
00:01:52,160 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: guys linked in in three different places. The reason why

27
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:57,800
Speaker 1: the YouTube is so important that you're on YouTube is

28
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: because if you follow me, you know that I've been

29
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: blocked a couple of times this year on Instagram, um

30
00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,280
Speaker 1: for the things that I've said. So I want to

31
00:02:07,320 --> 00:02:10,120
Speaker 1: make sure that I have you locked in on YouTube

32
00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: as well, uh, so that if I'm blocked, I still

33
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,440
Speaker 1: can reach you with content. And as mentioned yesterday, this

34
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,560
Speaker 1: content is critically important and very hard to push because

35
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: if I was just doing content about what rapper said this,

36
00:02:26,960 --> 00:02:29,799
Speaker 1: and who's having a beef about that or this? And

37
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,840
Speaker 1: you know how all of these men, Hey, I'll notice

38
00:02:32,880 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: so many men have so many online beefs. There's more men,

39
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 1: it seems, in a hip hop community or online beasts

40
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: than it is women. But that's another conversation. But if

41
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,560
Speaker 1: I was talking about that, we would have clicks on

42
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:48,600
Speaker 1: clicks on clicks. It's very hard to get educational content out,

43
00:02:48,639 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 1: particularly content that benefits us black people. So it is

44
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:57,120
Speaker 1: really important, um, to have you linked in with me,

45
00:02:57,240 --> 00:02:59,360
Speaker 1: and in just a couple of places. I don't have

46
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,440
Speaker 1: to be five platforms. I've taken my page down on

47
00:03:02,440 --> 00:03:05,559
Speaker 1: Facebook because I'm trying to get everybody kind of centralized,

48
00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,080
Speaker 1: a little more centralized, and I'm not on Facebook enough.

49
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:12,600
Speaker 1: So either follow me on Instagram. Twitter is very important

50
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,679
Speaker 1: that you make an account on Twitter, even if you

51
00:03:14,720 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: don't use it a lot, you really should have an

52
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,600
Speaker 1: account on Twitter. I cannot stress that enough. That is

53
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 1: what politicians watch. That is the hashtags that they follow,

54
00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: the conversation that they follow, come from Twitter. They do

55
00:03:26,680 --> 00:03:30,160
Speaker 1: not come from Instagram or Facebook or anywhere else. They

56
00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 1: come from from Twitter. So I I can't push that enough.

57
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,360
Speaker 1: To create account on Twitter, and please follow me on Twitter,

58
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,120
Speaker 1: and obviously the majority of you follow me on Instagram.

59
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: So let's get to it. Um. I wanted to uh

60
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: take a couple of days to really ponder of the

61
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,760
Speaker 1: movie Woman King. Many of you have not seen it,

62
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: but have a lot of comments on that, which I

63
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,440
Speaker 1: somebody in my Instagram comments is saying, right now, you know,

64
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: how can you comment on something you haven't seen and

65
00:03:56,640 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: whoever said that, it's absolutely right. Um, I do feel

66
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: uh it is important. Okay, we're going live now on

67
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:08,920
Speaker 1: Instagram and Twitter, so it finally got it together. I'm

68
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: sorry on YouTube and Twitter. So I do think, uh

69
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: that it whoever just made that comment is accurate, and

70
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:21,880
Speaker 1: that by saying, uh that, you really you know, before

71
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,839
Speaker 1: you can critique something, you need to watch something. And

72
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:29,360
Speaker 1: I know that that creates a conflict for those who say,

73
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: you know, I don't want to support it and give

74
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,279
Speaker 1: my money, uh, but yet I want to steal comment

75
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:41,320
Speaker 1: on it. And I get it. I understand the the

76
00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: conflict of interests of wanting to see some information and

77
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: then I also wanted to make a comment on it.

78
00:04:49,200 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: So I understand the conflict of interest. I get it.

79
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: And as I discussed this, what I need you guys

80
00:04:56,080 --> 00:04:57,840
Speaker 1: to be mature enough to know that more than one

81
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: thing can be true at the same time. Uh. The

82
00:05:00,640 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 1: reason why pause on discussing this is because number one,

83
00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:06,840
Speaker 1: I wanted to see it myself. Somebody on Twitter said, what,

84
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,600
Speaker 1: you're supporting it, but people on Twitter told you not

85
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: to support it. First of all, nobody on Twitter tell

86
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: me what to do. Nobody outside Twitter tells me what

87
00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,279
Speaker 1: to do, and I read and study for myself. Now,

88
00:05:18,360 --> 00:05:20,719
Speaker 1: the Bible says read and study and showed ourselves approved,

89
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:23,359
Speaker 1: So I read and study for myself. Somebody has tagged

90
00:05:23,400 --> 00:05:26,880
Speaker 1: myself on Instagram. Nobody tells me what to do, So

91
00:05:26,920 --> 00:05:32,279
Speaker 1: that's that's number one. Um. And because I create content,

92
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:37,279
Speaker 1: particularly content that is black centered, this was a movie

93
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:40,120
Speaker 1: that was important to see so I could actually know

94
00:05:40,240 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 1: what the hell I'm talking about. Somebody has teg know

95
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: what the hell I'm talking about. Now, maybe some folks

96
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: on Twitter just like to run with what everybody else

97
00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:50,440
Speaker 1: is saying and run with that. But I like to

98
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,719
Speaker 1: have my own opinion and formulate my own opending. That's

99
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 1: why I'm independent. Now, after I went and saw the movie,

100
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:03,919
Speaker 1: I went and before I spoke, somebody say, quick to

101
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: study and slow to speak. That's what we all should

102
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: be aiming towards being quick to study and slow to speak.

103
00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: I wanted to do more research. Shout out the royaltry

104
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,120
Speaker 1: saying these hashtags. I wanted to It's kind of like

105
00:06:19,200 --> 00:06:22,400
Speaker 1: church when I'm telling y'all hashtags as I'm basically, what

106
00:06:22,440 --> 00:06:24,240
Speaker 1: you're doing is looking at your neighbor and repeating what

107
00:06:24,279 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 1: I'm saying. I wanted to do more research on the

108
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:31,479
Speaker 1: topic because I am not that familiar with this particular tribe,

109
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 1: and I'm okay with saying I'm not that familiar with it.

110
00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:37,159
Speaker 1: You know how folks like to be familiar with everything.

111
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: On Twitter, they know everything about everything. First, they know

112
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 1: everything about black history. They don't know everything about COVID.

113
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:44,440
Speaker 1: Then they don't know everything about the p P P.

114
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,800
Speaker 1: Long Didn't they know everything about every movie that come out?

115
00:06:47,839 --> 00:06:50,120
Speaker 1: Didn't they know everything about hip hop? So I'm not

116
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: I'm not one of the ones that know everything about everything.

117
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:58,800
Speaker 1: So I wanted to do some research myself, and I

118
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:02,120
Speaker 1: am still doing search myself. But the reason why I'm

119
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:06,520
Speaker 1: coming with this particular conversation today is because I want

120
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,400
Speaker 1: to give you guys some talking points that if you

121
00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:11,640
Speaker 1: are in the middle of your research, if you have

122
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 1: not watched the movie yet, if you have not um

123
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: really taken time to formulate an opinion. This particular many

124
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,520
Speaker 1: workshop is a communication workshop that you just signed up for.

125
00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:26,760
Speaker 1: You probably thought you were signing up to hear what

126
00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: I thought, my opinion, But you just signed up for

127
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:33,600
Speaker 1: many workshops to deal with the important talking point that

128
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: I think you need to have as you move forward

129
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,800
Speaker 1: in this conversation. Whatever side you're on with this movie,

130
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:43,520
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that, Teslam, What side you're on? Well,

131
00:07:43,560 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: what I mean by that is I have UH. And

132
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:55,200
Speaker 1: while watching UM, while creating, I guess researching how I

133
00:07:55,240 --> 00:07:57,800
Speaker 1: felt about this movie, I went and I looked on

134
00:07:57,840 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: Twitter at all of the various comments, and a lot

135
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,680
Speaker 1: of people that I network with in this industry are

136
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,440
Speaker 1: very much in support of this movie UM, and I

137
00:08:09,480 --> 00:08:12,000
Speaker 1: wanted to see what they had to say. I wanted

138
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:16,160
Speaker 1: to see what the opposite had to say. I wanted to,

139
00:08:16,960 --> 00:08:20,000
Speaker 1: you know, really just take time to process it. In fact,

140
00:08:20,040 --> 00:08:22,760
Speaker 1: at the end of it, my daughter she asked me.

141
00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 1: She said, well, Mom, did you like the movie or what?

142
00:08:26,080 --> 00:08:29,280
Speaker 1: Because you're not saying much. And I said, well, that's

143
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:34,120
Speaker 1: because I'm I'm still processing it. Because I left feeling

144
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: some type of way about a lot of different things,

145
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:41,600
Speaker 1: and I wanted to make sure that I was accurate

146
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: and how I was thinking. Now, somebody in the comments

147
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 1: just said, it's a movie, not a documentary. Let's deal

148
00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:53,680
Speaker 1: with that. Yesterday I posted made a post saying that

149
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: no matter how many people cheer clap and cry, America,

150
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:03,880
Speaker 1: we are still mean for our reparations. Check. No matter

151
00:09:03,920 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: how many people chair, clap and cry, we are still

152
00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:16,760
Speaker 1: coming for our reparations. Check. Soon after I said that,

153
00:09:16,800 --> 00:09:19,000
Speaker 1: I found out I was going through Twitter and I

154
00:09:19,040 --> 00:09:23,479
Speaker 1: saw Bill Mahr was reminding folks that Africans sold Africans

155
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:25,640
Speaker 1: into slavery. I know a couple of weeks ago Canvas

156
00:09:25,679 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: owns do did it what she does it? All the

157
00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 1: time people say that all the time you sold yourself.

158
00:09:30,080 --> 00:09:34,600
Speaker 1: It's not a a new uh talking point that is

159
00:09:34,600 --> 00:09:36,640
Speaker 1: thrown out from the right. It is not something we

160
00:09:36,679 --> 00:09:39,240
Speaker 1: have not heard before. It's not it won't be the

161
00:09:39,320 --> 00:09:41,319
Speaker 1: last time we hear that. The woman King is not

162
00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,880
Speaker 1: all of a sudden making people use that talking point.

163
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:51,280
Speaker 1: But it is important that you understand. It is important

164
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:55,360
Speaker 1: that you understand that that is a real life talking

165
00:09:55,440 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: point that will be used at the result of this movie.

166
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 1: It will bump it back up if you will, and

167
00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,280
Speaker 1: so you need to be prepared to have the discussion

168
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:15,079
Speaker 1: on who ows, who what and why. So for those

169
00:10:15,120 --> 00:10:19,600
Speaker 1: who are saying, oh, it's just a movie, well it's

170
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 1: not Black Panther. Black Panther was just a movie. Because

171
00:10:24,920 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: we knew that a real grown man didn't turn into

172
00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 1: a panther. We knew, even though some of y'all really

173
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: started believing that Wakanda was real, we knew that that

174
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:40,880
Speaker 1: Black Panther was just a movie. So for those of

175
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:44,319
Speaker 1: you that say it's just a movie, that's okay if

176
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 1: you see that through your lens. But those of us

177
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:52,360
Speaker 1: that are fighting in this movement work, root word move

178
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 1: m o V just a movie. Those of us that

179
00:10:59,800 --> 00:11:03,319
Speaker 1: are fighting in the root word of this the movement work,

180
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: it is not just a movie because it is based

181
00:11:08,160 --> 00:11:13,200
Speaker 1: upon historical facts. Not all of it is facts, but

182
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:18,679
Speaker 1: it is based upon there's some history involved there. Now,

183
00:11:18,720 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: it's okay if you want to go and just be

184
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,720
Speaker 1: entertained and cheer and clap and crying and all of that,

185
00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: that's fine, but also be slow to criticize folks who

186
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:40,240
Speaker 1: also want to critique this based upon movement work. It's okay,

187
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:45,960
Speaker 1: you can be entertained, but don't expect me with the

188
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: prescription glasses that I wear that are designed for me.

189
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: Somebody say, designed for me. See my eyes and my vision,

190
00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: how I see things were designed for me. My my

191
00:11:57,840 --> 00:12:03,040
Speaker 1: prescription is designed for me. So unfortunately, unfortunately. The reason

192
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: why I say unfortunately because sometimes it gets so I

193
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,360
Speaker 1: get tired. I wish I could see stuff like you'll do.

194
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: I wish I could just mosey through life and just

195
00:12:10,240 --> 00:12:13,800
Speaker 1: be entertained about every damn thing. Uh. And I really

196
00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:15,560
Speaker 1: that's what I was thinking about at the end, Like damn,

197
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,360
Speaker 1: I wish I could just be like the rest of

198
00:12:17,440 --> 00:12:19,559
Speaker 1: you all and just were not some of y'all, but

199
00:12:19,679 --> 00:12:22,440
Speaker 1: the a lot of y'all, and just sit around here

200
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:25,840
Speaker 1: and just be entertained about every damn thing. But unfortunately,

201
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:29,439
Speaker 1: the prescription glasses that were designed for me, the vision

202
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,400
Speaker 1: that God gave me, I look at things a little

203
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: bit deeper. I look at things a little bit deeper.

204
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: But I understand and show grace the people who don't

205
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:45,840
Speaker 1: because this If that calling is not for you, that's cool.

206
00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:48,839
Speaker 1: You want to go and and be entertained, that's cool.

207
00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:54,800
Speaker 1: Be entertained, But don't criticize other folks for who are

208
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:58,000
Speaker 1: looking at this through a different lens and then getting

209
00:12:58,040 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: big mad at them because they're looking at it through

210
00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: for lens. Also, guys, my extra extra WoT folks, show

211
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: some grace to the other folks that they just don't

212
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: see it like you, And that's fine. They just don't

213
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,080
Speaker 1: see it like you and I get in Chicago King.

214
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: You're saying, again the Woman King is not a documentary,

215
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: and again we know it's not a documentary. But again, brother,

216
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,000
Speaker 1: it does have some historical data, and people have the

217
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:29,840
Speaker 1: right the freedom to pick apart that data. I love

218
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:33,400
Speaker 1: that the sister just has tag respect my lens. Somebody

219
00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,840
Speaker 1: turned to your neighbor has tag respect my lens. So

220
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:38,880
Speaker 1: you can keep saying it's not a documentary. We know

221
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 1: it's not a documentary. We know it's a movie. It's

222
00:13:40,840 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: in the movie there that we know it's a movie.

223
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,319
Speaker 1: We know it's a fictional movie. But there's some people

224
00:13:45,320 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: that are gonna see it through a different lens and

225
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,880
Speaker 1: critique it as such, which brings great content, great conversation,

226
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: unless some folks don't want to deal with the realities

227
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:56,440
Speaker 1: of it. There's some people that don't like to deal

228
00:13:56,440 --> 00:13:59,839
Speaker 1: with the realities of it because it's much easier for

229
00:13:59,880 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: them to be entertained not seeing you. But I do

230
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: I do need you to know that that there's some

231
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,200
Speaker 1: people that will prefer to cheer and clap and stomp

232
00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: and yell and cry because they don't want to deal

233
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:15,960
Speaker 1: with the realities of the historical data part in the movie.

234
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:21,920
Speaker 1: And so this particular conversation, I got a lot of thoughts,

235
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:28,240
Speaker 1: personal thoughts about the movie, but this particular conversation what

236
00:14:28,360 --> 00:14:31,400
Speaker 1: I need, what I what I what I Why I'm

237
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: having this conversation is because while while we're busy talking

238
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:38,040
Speaker 1: about is not a documentary? Is not a documentary? Is

239
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: just a movie, White supremacy is actively using what was

240
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: in the movie to minimize the reparationist movement. So you

241
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: can keep saying it's not a documentary all you want.

242
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:54,880
Speaker 1: The bottom line is Africans did sale Africans in the slavery.

243
00:14:54,920 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: They were partially responsible responsible old those talking points are

244
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,280
Speaker 1: being used in real time. And being that I go

245
00:15:05,320 --> 00:15:08,040
Speaker 1: on National TV and have these debates, and I'm saying

246
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 1: this as respectfully as I possibly can, but being at

247
00:15:11,400 --> 00:15:13,800
Speaker 1: at least from what I see in these comments, none

248
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,560
Speaker 1: of you go over to Fox News and have these

249
00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:19,160
Speaker 1: conversations with these folks. So now you just understanding you

250
00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:21,120
Speaker 1: you're talking to a genus and I'm telling you what

251
00:15:21,160 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: they're doing. So comments about what it should and shouldn't

252
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: be and all that that doesn't apply to what I'm

253
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,560
Speaker 1: talking about. I'm talking about the comment the talking points

254
00:15:30,800 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: that are actively being used to minimize movement work. And

255
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 1: so this MANI training, because this is a training. You're

256
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:45,760
Speaker 1: in my class. This is a training, in case you

257
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: didn't know, is about movement work. Now, there's plenty of

258
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,640
Speaker 1: other spaces that you guys can go in and debate

259
00:15:56,760 --> 00:16:00,200
Speaker 1: the tribe and how accurate the tribe was and what

260
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,800
Speaker 1: the tribe did and what they didn't did. What I'm

261
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,880
Speaker 1: trying to tell you today is that as you're having

262
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: these conversations, remind people that at the end of the day,

263
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 1: no matter how many people are cheering, clapping and crying,

264
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:17,160
Speaker 1: and I'm talking about black folks that's been cheering, clapping

265
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:21,520
Speaker 1: and crying, we still coming for the check. If they say, well,

266
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: African Soul, everybody they sold their own. Okay, Well, let's

267
00:16:25,440 --> 00:16:27,800
Speaker 1: just let's just take slavery out of it, and let's

268
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,840
Speaker 1: talk about share cropping. Let's talk about redlining, let's talk

269
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: about Jim Crow, Let's talk about mass incarceration, let's talk

270
00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:41,680
Speaker 1: about all of that. If you want to omit slavery Chicago,

271
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:44,480
Speaker 1: whoever you are, you're not battled, you're not prepared to

272
00:16:44,520 --> 00:16:49,680
Speaker 1: battle me. I didn't say it's the catalyst for killing reparations.

273
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,280
Speaker 1: That's not what I said. I said minimize, and you're

274
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: not prepared, you're not equipped, and you ain't skilled enough

275
00:16:56,680 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 1: to debate me. Now, I've seen you many times in

276
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:04,439
Speaker 1: my mints. I know you think you are, but you're not. Son. Now,

277
00:17:04,440 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: I don't know if you if you're coming at me

278
00:17:06,040 --> 00:17:07,760
Speaker 1: or you're not, but I'm it's looking like you're coming

279
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:09,359
Speaker 1: at me. I don't know you all over the place,

280
00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:11,760
Speaker 1: and I'm trying to be as respectful as possible, but

281
00:17:11,800 --> 00:17:15,440
Speaker 1: I get disrespectful. And nobody said it's gonna kill reparations.

282
00:17:15,480 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: I said minimize. Let's look at the word minimize for

283
00:17:18,280 --> 00:17:20,199
Speaker 1: the brother, because he don't know word. I use my

284
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:24,520
Speaker 1: words very clear. I'm very clear. Let me look it up.

285
00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:26,720
Speaker 1: This is a training class, welcome to push the line. Training.

286
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: I do training. I don't do conversations. I do. I train.

287
00:17:30,320 --> 00:17:32,840
Speaker 1: So let's look up the word minimize for the brother. So,

288
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,840
Speaker 1: Chicago King, let's look at the definition for minimizes to

289
00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 1: reduce or keep to a minimum. Minimize. So let me

290
00:17:43,160 --> 00:17:45,040
Speaker 1: say it again. Somebody hands tag, look at the neighbor

291
00:17:45,119 --> 00:17:51,879
Speaker 1: and say reduce. Nobody said in the end reparations, nobody

292
00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:53,320
Speaker 1: said that this is why I need you to know

293
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:55,720
Speaker 1: your words. See I use words. I'm the founder of

294
00:17:55,720 --> 00:17:58,640
Speaker 1: Tesla and Figure or communications group. You're not equipped, you're

295
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,199
Speaker 1: not skilled enough, you don't s far enough, You're not

296
00:18:01,280 --> 00:18:03,400
Speaker 1: a heavyweight champ when it comes to this. And I'm

297
00:18:03,440 --> 00:18:08,360
Speaker 1: saying that disrespectfully. So either listen or get on out

298
00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:22,320
Speaker 1: the commons, or get embarrassed. So let me give the

299
00:18:22,359 --> 00:18:26,439
Speaker 1: definition one more time to the brother that didn't get it.

300
00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: Minimize means to reduce to the smallest possible amount or degree,

301
00:18:34,760 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: to represent at the lowest possible amount value importance. Somebody

302
00:18:41,960 --> 00:18:48,600
Speaker 1: has sag importance, influence, et cetera, especially in a disparaging way.

303
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:54,440
Speaker 1: So what I said was that many, not all, see

304
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: this is Chicago, don't understand words. Many not all. Many

305
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: people will try to use the talking point of African

306
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:11,280
Speaker 1: selling Africans as a way to minimize movement work. And

307
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 1: it's already happening. It's on my wall, dumb, dumb, it's

308
00:19:17,600 --> 00:19:20,680
Speaker 1: on my wall, It's on Twitter. Go look for yourself.

309
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:30,680
Speaker 1: Now let's proceed. So as you're having these conversations, remind

310
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:36,760
Speaker 1: people that, regardless of how they feel, because some people

311
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,560
Speaker 1: really like this movie, there's gonna be people who want

312
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,560
Speaker 1: to be entertained. We got some in the comments now

313
00:19:41,600 --> 00:19:46,280
Speaker 1: who are there to minimize historical data because they roll

314
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,760
Speaker 1: through life wanting to be entertained, and the results prove it.

315
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: They're trying to entertain now in the comments, they want

316
00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,480
Speaker 1: to entertain. They're all about entertainment. Uh. In the circus

317
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: movement is called clown. In the circus movement, it's called

318
00:20:02,960 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: court gesture. So even now we see somebody literally right

319
00:20:07,359 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: here being a court gesture trying to destruct you from

320
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:16,160
Speaker 1: what it is I'm talking about because anybody they can't

321
00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:20,600
Speaker 1: understand that white supremacy will try to minimize the movement

322
00:20:20,640 --> 00:20:26,199
Speaker 1: with this. It's a clown and somebody not for our calls.

323
00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 1: So let me say it again for the dumb dumb

324
00:20:29,520 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: in the back, it is okay if you enjoy this movie.

325
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:39,120
Speaker 1: I have really great friends who do movement work that

326
00:20:39,200 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: really were inspired by the movie, really felt good about

327
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:49,920
Speaker 1: seeing um black women in these positions. Uh. Matter of fact,

328
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:54,080
Speaker 1: Tiffany who's over at who does a lot of movement work,

329
00:20:54,400 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: She did an entire uh post about it about it

330
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 1: was important to hurt. She she was really um excited

331
00:21:01,760 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 1: about seeing dark skinned athletic women in these roles. And

332
00:21:06,440 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: I know Tiffany is about the work. So even folks

333
00:21:12,560 --> 00:21:17,120
Speaker 1: who do movement works may still be inspired by this film.

334
00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,720
Speaker 1: But there are also people who are not inspired by

335
00:21:20,760 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: this film, who see it as a disrespect and see

336
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,159
Speaker 1: it as glorification. And they have their right too, And

337
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,919
Speaker 1: that's what this really is about. You don't have to

338
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,400
Speaker 1: move how they move or vice versa. But when somebody

339
00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:39,880
Speaker 1: goes out of their way trying to get you to say,

340
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: don't worry about that, don't worry about that, don't worry

341
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: about the facts, don't worry about the facts. Just be entertained.

342
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:48,040
Speaker 1: Then they're not. They're not for black people. This, this

343
00:21:48,119 --> 00:21:50,920
Speaker 1: brother here, or whoever he is, he's not for black people.

344
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,200
Speaker 1: He's a clown. And I'm leaving a minute so y'all

345
00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:55,160
Speaker 1: can see what a real life cloan looks like. It's

346
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,520
Speaker 1: kind of like kids. You don't when kids be yelling, hey, hey,

347
00:21:57,560 --> 00:21:59,119
Speaker 1: you look at me, look at me. This is what

348
00:21:59,240 --> 00:22:01,959
Speaker 1: this brother is doing. It's a clown. It's court gesture.

349
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:07,080
Speaker 1: Type ship. Because I've said multiple times, if you are

350
00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:10,080
Speaker 1: entertained by this movie, be entertained, cheering, clap and feel

351
00:22:10,080 --> 00:22:12,720
Speaker 1: good about it. But if you are in movement work

352
00:22:12,840 --> 00:22:16,359
Speaker 1: and you feel like this this movie turns your stomach

353
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 1: and makes you feel some type of way, then you

354
00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:26,160
Speaker 1: got there right too. Just like this sister who's saying

355
00:22:26,320 --> 00:22:29,000
Speaker 1: seeing all those dark skinned women looking beautiful and strong, yes,

356
00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,840
Speaker 1: I understand how people can be inspired by that. I

357
00:22:32,920 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: also understand, and in regards to that, I also understand

358
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:41,000
Speaker 1: that because there is trauma around that, and people want

359
00:22:41,000 --> 00:22:46,239
Speaker 1: to see that so bad that sometimes it can clog up,

360
00:22:46,440 --> 00:22:48,919
Speaker 1: fog up the lens. If you will, you know, if

361
00:22:48,920 --> 00:22:52,399
Speaker 1: you're driving and you need to turn your your de

362
00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: foggers on, or you need to turn on the you know,

363
00:22:56,600 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: if your windows fall up and you gotta turn on

364
00:22:58,560 --> 00:23:00,760
Speaker 1: the From losing my train of thought, but you know

365
00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:03,840
Speaker 1: you turned the the error on to get the fall

366
00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: off the windshield. What is it, y'all? I don't forgot

367
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: the train of thought. Sometimes you you because of the

368
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:17,640
Speaker 1: trauma with us wanting to see ourselves in strong positions,

369
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: and particularly darker skinned women who have been left out

370
00:23:23,840 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: of movie screens. Yes, de Frost, thank you, says Sometimes

371
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:34,000
Speaker 1: that has created a defrost of not wanting to look

372
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,359
Speaker 1: at the whole picture, kind of like a windshield. You know,

373
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:38,280
Speaker 1: you have a windshield, you have the whole picture, the

374
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: whole windshield. Some of my girlfriends left me voice memo saying, Hey,

375
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 1: I don't care what they gotta say. I don't care

376
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,160
Speaker 1: what you gotta say about this. I like it. I'm

377
00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:51,200
Speaker 1: supporting it. That's it. That's all. Hey cool gay Google says, Hey,

378
00:23:51,320 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: if it makes you feel good, and whatever reason you

379
00:23:54,840 --> 00:23:58,160
Speaker 1: wrapped around in this, be a strong woman or dark

380
00:23:58,200 --> 00:24:01,520
Speaker 1: skinned women or whatever it is that's triggering your emotion,

381
00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:07,639
Speaker 1: to inspire you by all means be inspired. But that

382
00:24:07,800 --> 00:24:12,280
Speaker 1: still can't negate the fact that America, we're still gonna

383
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: be talking about the rereparations though, regardless of who so who,

384
00:24:16,119 --> 00:24:19,720
Speaker 1: we still are gonna be talking about those reparations because

385
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:24,680
Speaker 1: that is a real thing that is happening. And any

386
00:24:24,720 --> 00:24:27,840
Speaker 1: any basic dumb dumb can go to Twitter making you

387
00:24:27,840 --> 00:24:30,119
Speaker 1: need to get off Instagram. Whoever it is, cloud is

388
00:24:30,200 --> 00:24:33,800
Speaker 1: court gesture is get off Instagram and go to Twitter,

389
00:24:34,280 --> 00:24:36,719
Speaker 1: you know where they share links and have conversations, not

390
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:39,920
Speaker 1: just posting videos and pictures and comedy and ship. Go

391
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:42,040
Speaker 1: over to Twitter and you can see that this is

392
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: a real life conversation that is being had. It's a

393
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:51,439
Speaker 1: real life conversation when I went to the movie, just

394
00:24:51,480 --> 00:24:53,119
Speaker 1: as many white folks in the movie as it was

395
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,840
Speaker 1: black people. So it's a real life conversation. And being

396
00:24:56,880 --> 00:24:59,400
Speaker 1: that I really do go over and debate people on

397
00:24:59,440 --> 00:25:02,159
Speaker 1: the right and do it well. Let me have, let

398
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,240
Speaker 1: me have tag my damn said, let me turn to

399
00:25:04,320 --> 00:25:09,200
Speaker 1: my neighbor and do it well, shut down my opposition

400
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,640
Speaker 1: every single time I get in the ring. I think

401
00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:17,480
Speaker 1: I can speak from experience on how uh white supremacy

402
00:25:17,520 --> 00:25:22,679
Speaker 1: talking points are used against us in real time. So

403
00:25:22,800 --> 00:25:24,720
Speaker 1: y'all don't have to worry about listening to this clown

404
00:25:24,880 --> 00:25:27,520
Speaker 1: that's looking for attention, because y'all can go look at

405
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,880
Speaker 1: my receipts and see that I I really do talk

406
00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: to white supremacists for real, in real time lies. So

407
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,959
Speaker 1: I think I know a little bit about how talking

408
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,320
Speaker 1: points are used against us and how to annihilate those

409
00:25:41,359 --> 00:25:44,560
Speaker 1: talking points. I just used this particular clown as just

410
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: the clown example, just for you guys, not not at

411
00:25:47,480 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: any moment dud. Did I think he was an actual contender.

412
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: It's kind of like Mike Tyson. What Mike Tyson looked

413
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,280
Speaker 1: like beating up somebody on the plane, But he did

414
00:25:57,320 --> 00:26:00,280
Speaker 1: beat somebody up on the plane, right, Because sometimes people

415
00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,800
Speaker 1: just need to get socked in their mouth because the

416
00:26:02,840 --> 00:26:05,600
Speaker 1: audacity or whoever that was to think they actually could

417
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:10,360
Speaker 1: fight Mike Tyson and kept, you know, taunting and taunting

418
00:26:10,400 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 1: and taunting the heavyweight champion of the world, the former

419
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 1: having heavyweight champion the world, one of the best that

420
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:18,440
Speaker 1: ever did it the audacity for this guy to think

421
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:21,000
Speaker 1: he can taunt and toun and tunt, and so Mike

422
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:23,280
Speaker 1: Tyson just simply had to sock him in the mouth.

423
00:26:23,520 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: So when I am talking to a court, gesture, uh

424
00:26:26,359 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 1: please Instagram, never be distracted. Please don't think for one

425
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,680
Speaker 1: second that person is distracting me at all. I use

426
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,000
Speaker 1: that just so y'all can see Mike Tyson hit somebody

427
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,800
Speaker 1: in the mouth with a quick right. That's all this,

428
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:39,760
Speaker 1: that's all that is is just to entertain you guys,

429
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:42,760
Speaker 1: because the court just is always looking at being, you know, entertainment.

430
00:26:42,760 --> 00:26:45,320
Speaker 1: So I just like to sock people in their mouth verbally.

431
00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:47,200
Speaker 1: Let me take a sip of my tea. I don't

432
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,680
Speaker 1: want you to think I was at a pause and

433
00:26:48,720 --> 00:26:51,280
Speaker 1: a lost words. I'm just taking a sip because my

434
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:59,800
Speaker 1: mouth is getting dryed. Bear with me one moment now,

435
00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:06,280
Speaker 1: Like I said, as you're having these conversations and people

436
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,680
Speaker 1: start veering off into Africans or selling Africans and it's

437
00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:12,399
Speaker 1: all Africans, well, guess what looks like Africa owe with

438
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:15,880
Speaker 1: some money to the bottom line is we are still

439
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:20,880
Speaker 1: proceeding with reparations regardless of how many Black people clapping cheer.

440
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:24,000
Speaker 1: And I just want to remind black people as you

441
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:28,840
Speaker 1: are clapping and crying and cheering to also, if you will,

442
00:27:29,880 --> 00:27:35,080
Speaker 1: please make sure that you are also reminding folks every

443
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:41,639
Speaker 1: now and then the result of slavery and being sold

444
00:27:41,640 --> 00:27:45,199
Speaker 1: in the slavery lasted for four hundred years because what

445
00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:47,639
Speaker 1: happens is they take your one little clipper you're clapping

446
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:50,439
Speaker 1: and cheering and crying, and then they use that against you.

447
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:56,199
Speaker 1: Are us? Are the movement work? If you will? And

448
00:27:56,200 --> 00:27:58,720
Speaker 1: and I'm talking to my high profile folks that have

449
00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:01,399
Speaker 1: big platforms that are here clapping and crying and cheering.

450
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: So I just want to remind you that they they

451
00:28:05,119 --> 00:28:09,880
Speaker 1: used that to minimize and already went over the definition

452
00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: to minimize, to minimize our work. Now, I will give

453
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:20,879
Speaker 1: you some of uh my personal thoughts on the movie,

454
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:25,880
Speaker 1: my personal thoughts. Look at you and then even say

455
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: this is personal, this has nothing to do with move

456
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: and work uh me personally. I I was in the military,

457
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,040
Speaker 1: so and then when I was in the military, I

458
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:37,720
Speaker 1: was in a male dominated field. I was an M

459
00:28:37,800 --> 00:28:45,120
Speaker 1: sixty gunner. Um, so I understand that there are women

460
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:49,840
Speaker 1: warriors that fight. I do. I also understand though that

461
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:51,640
Speaker 1: I'm not a man at the end of the day.

462
00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: And while some people, you know, even though we can

463
00:28:58,800 --> 00:29:01,040
Speaker 1: say it's not a documentary, some movie, it's a movie,

464
00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,720
Speaker 1: we know that there are some people that really think

465
00:29:03,760 --> 00:29:07,440
Speaker 1: that sometimes movies are real. And these were real women warriors,

466
00:29:07,480 --> 00:29:10,640
Speaker 1: so that this was real life. That part is a

467
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:14,080
Speaker 1: real it's real. These were women warriors, and so I

468
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,560
Speaker 1: do think and I love the fiction and the drama

469
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: of it all of having these women beating these men's ass.

470
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,200
Speaker 1: But I just want to remind you women that I

471
00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: don't know how accurate that would have been. With Viola

472
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: Davis being that man that probably was an easy three

473
00:29:29,400 --> 00:29:32,480
Speaker 1: D something pounds, so be careful, ladies, don't get hyped

474
00:29:32,560 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: up walking out this movie and think you can think

475
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 1: you can suck on some man that's three hundred and

476
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:40,320
Speaker 1: some pounds. So I just I just want to remind you.

477
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: I think I'm pretty damn tough, but the only thing

478
00:29:43,440 --> 00:29:45,520
Speaker 1: I know gonna knock down some man three hundred some

479
00:29:45,640 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: pounds is a pistol. So I just wanna, I just

480
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,880
Speaker 1: want to remind you. If you're walking at the movie

481
00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:54,880
Speaker 1: and you got your chest out and you're walking up,

482
00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: I just want to remind you. Uh, I don't know

483
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:00,920
Speaker 1: if you can up no man three hundred and something pounds.

484
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:03,000
Speaker 1: So if y'all I don't want to spoil it, but

485
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: you shouldn't be only if you don't want to spoil

486
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:08,840
Speaker 1: because I'm again I said, I'm talking about the woman king. Uh,

487
00:30:08,920 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: I'm talking about that scene at the end when she

488
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,640
Speaker 1: was really going total told, you know, like a real

489
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,480
Speaker 1: faith with the dude to head to be what I

490
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:19,640
Speaker 1: would six three damn the fogs of pounds at best.

491
00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,920
Speaker 1: So I just I just want to remind you, ladies,

492
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: you get the walking out there with your chests a

493
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,479
Speaker 1: little bit too far out. You better have a pistol

494
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: on you. So I just I just want to put

495
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: that part out there. I just want to put that

496
00:30:30,240 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 1: part out there. Um, because when I did men's work

497
00:30:34,560 --> 00:30:37,240
Speaker 1: in the military M sixty gunner, I had a weapon

498
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,320
Speaker 1: of M sixty that that had a hundred rounds. So

499
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm very well aware that I can't knock no man now.

500
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:44,360
Speaker 1: So I just because some of y'all know, y'all say

501
00:30:44,400 --> 00:30:46,800
Speaker 1: it's just a movie, but some of y'all walk out

502
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:49,480
Speaker 1: there thinking, y'all one of these warriors, I just don't

503
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,320
Speaker 1: want you to get laid on your back. That's it.

504
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:55,400
Speaker 1: I'm just saying that for the safety of it all. Uh.

505
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: The second part, again, this is personal. I dealt with

506
00:30:58,280 --> 00:31:00,320
Speaker 1: the movie, and I need you all to be smart

507
00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: enough and keep up enough for those who are just joining.

508
00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,000
Speaker 1: I dealt with the movement side of it already. You

509
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:06,840
Speaker 1: can go back and listen to the beginning. I dealt

510
00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: with the dealing with the talking point of reparations and

511
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,400
Speaker 1: all of that. Now I'm just talking about my own

512
00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:20,520
Speaker 1: personal you know, just my personal things that I saw. Uh.

513
00:31:20,680 --> 00:31:23,080
Speaker 1: I want to address this and I'm and I'm just

514
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 1: gonna say this and y'all can put deal with it,

515
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:30,800
Speaker 1: however y'all want to deal with it. There was a

516
00:31:30,800 --> 00:31:33,960
Speaker 1: feminine male that was in the movie, and one of

517
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,240
Speaker 1: the sisters on Twitter who follows me, she said that

518
00:31:36,320 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: all the men were feminine, and I think she was

519
00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,080
Speaker 1: a little she put a two on a tin on

520
00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: that one, since it wasn't all of them, but there

521
00:31:42,840 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 1: was one. And there are people that take issue with that. Um,

522
00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:52,760
Speaker 1: because there are people that believe that there is an

523
00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:58,440
Speaker 1: extra emphasis on making sure that there's always a gay

524
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,840
Speaker 1: black man in every or not every and most films.

525
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:05,960
Speaker 1: So now two people of the LGBT community, they're saying,

526
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: that's right. It should be because there's always been gave

527
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,080
Speaker 1: me around. Now again, I'm just giving y'all both sides

528
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:13,960
Speaker 1: of the talking points, just what people are saying about

529
00:32:13,960 --> 00:32:16,760
Speaker 1: the movie, because I know most of y'all to listen

530
00:32:16,800 --> 00:32:18,600
Speaker 1: to people to talk about this movie. They're gonna talk

531
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 1: how they feel and that's it and push that agenda.

532
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,880
Speaker 1: And I'm giving you all of the different things that

533
00:32:22,920 --> 00:32:25,040
Speaker 1: people have said, because some things can be true at

534
00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:31,600
Speaker 1: the same time. Um, there are people that have a

535
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:36,200
Speaker 1: problem with why did they insert this male concubine in

536
00:32:36,240 --> 00:32:39,560
Speaker 1: the movie because it it just it was literally inserted

537
00:32:39,600 --> 00:32:42,280
Speaker 1: and really had no relevance. But then there's also in

538
00:32:42,280 --> 00:32:43,760
Speaker 1: these way I'm telling you, in the group chats, I

539
00:32:43,880 --> 00:32:46,200
Speaker 1: was having with some folks that said, there's always been

540
00:32:46,200 --> 00:32:48,920
Speaker 1: feminine win and they're feminine men, and there's always been

541
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,080
Speaker 1: masculine women. That's true too, So you can watch the

542
00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: movie and and and formulate your own opinion on that.

543
00:32:56,520 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: But I did want to point that out that it

544
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:01,560
Speaker 1: wasn't all of the men. It was just one in

545
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: the movie. Me personally, Um, because of where we are

546
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,680
Speaker 1: in two thousand and twenty two, I would have preferred

547
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: they did show some of the men fighting with the women,

548
00:33:17,560 --> 00:33:19,920
Speaker 1: which was good. I think it was important even though

549
00:33:19,960 --> 00:33:23,080
Speaker 1: this was a woman led uh infantry. I think it

550
00:33:23,160 --> 00:33:25,440
Speaker 1: was important to show black men fighting with the women.

551
00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:27,440
Speaker 1: And they did do that. And some folks say that

552
00:33:27,480 --> 00:33:29,320
Speaker 1: they didn't, but they did. If you go watch the movie,

553
00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: you'll see. But they did not highlight any of those characters.

554
00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:35,120
Speaker 1: And let me give you what both sides of the

555
00:33:35,160 --> 00:33:37,360
Speaker 1: toping points will be with that. Some will say, well,

556
00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: if they highlighted the men, that will take away from

557
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: the women. Okay, I understand that, but then also understand

558
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: the other side, y'all of people who want to see

559
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,960
Speaker 1: black men and women fighting together will say no, in

560
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: today's time, we need to be able to show us

561
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: together because there's a lot of division between black women

562
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:56,080
Speaker 1: and black men, and they are using that as a

563
00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: way to drive this further part. And that can be

564
00:33:58,640 --> 00:34:00,360
Speaker 1: true as well. Two things can be true at the

565
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:03,240
Speaker 1: same time. I really need y'all to understand that two

566
00:34:03,280 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 1: things can be true at the same time. Now, this

567
00:34:14,360 --> 00:34:18,560
Speaker 1: is the part that I personally, if I had any

568
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:23,719
Speaker 1: if if there was anything that I really I don't

569
00:34:23,719 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 1: want to say take issue with because again it is

570
00:34:26,480 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 1: just a movie. But the Portuguese mixed guy that came

571
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:38,359
Speaker 1: in that they inserted to have a love interest with

572
00:34:39,920 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 1: the one of the warriors and making him this savior.

573
00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: I spent time looking up all week and to see

574
00:34:49,160 --> 00:34:52,080
Speaker 1: if this was a real person and if and if

575
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: and if anybody got any information on that to show

576
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:57,920
Speaker 1: me different, please do because I spent all weekend trying

577
00:34:57,960 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 1: to figure out if that character was real. Because again,

578
00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,840
Speaker 1: no matter how many people these comments keep saying, it

579
00:35:03,920 --> 00:35:05,840
Speaker 1: was just some movie, just a movie, it was based

580
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: upon real characters and real ship that happened. So I

581
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:13,640
Speaker 1: wanted to know was this character, this mixed guy that

582
00:35:13,840 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: came in quote unquote to see his roots even though

583
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:20,080
Speaker 1: he came over with a slave trader, and I guess

584
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:21,840
Speaker 1: what's struggling with should he be a part of the

585
00:35:21,880 --> 00:35:24,480
Speaker 1: slave trade or should he fall in love with one

586
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:28,040
Speaker 1: of the Africans. I wanted to find out that that

587
00:35:28,160 --> 00:35:33,480
Speaker 1: was a real character. Okay, I want to read this

588
00:35:33,480 --> 00:35:35,400
Speaker 1: comment as a gay black man, I do feel the

589
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:38,560
Speaker 1: gay black men definitely get the screen time to belittle

590
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,800
Speaker 1: black mass cleaning. Well, that's interesting. So you heard that

591
00:35:40,920 --> 00:35:43,160
Speaker 1: coming from a game guy. But there's also some people

592
00:35:43,200 --> 00:35:46,800
Speaker 1: who say who gay people who say, um, black people,

593
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:50,239
Speaker 1: black gay men need more screen time. So that's just

594
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,239
Speaker 1: one of the things that you're gonna hear as your

595
00:35:52,280 --> 00:35:57,120
Speaker 1: as you're having this conversation with people. But I I

596
00:35:57,200 --> 00:36:02,680
Speaker 1: thought it was just interesting to have this, uh, this

597
00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:07,840
Speaker 1: savior who was mixed but of lighter skin more on.

598
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:11,719
Speaker 1: You know, he was mixed, he definitely wasn't an African.

599
00:36:12,280 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 1: I thought it was interesting that there was a love

600
00:36:14,800 --> 00:36:17,560
Speaker 1: that she fell in love with him, and then at

601
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:22,959
Speaker 1: the end when she um when they tried to sell

602
00:36:23,040 --> 00:36:26,040
Speaker 1: her he was the one that bought her and because

603
00:36:26,080 --> 00:36:28,160
Speaker 1: of him she got a chance to go fight and

604
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:31,480
Speaker 1: all that. So that was a little bit for me. Again,

605
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: I can't help the lens that I see it, And

606
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,320
Speaker 1: I'm not just running around like being entertained by stuff.

607
00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: Now y'all might be entertained by, but I can't help

608
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:40,720
Speaker 1: the lens that was given to me. I really was like, um,

609
00:36:40,760 --> 00:36:44,399
Speaker 1: I don't really think that was that necessary. If if

610
00:36:44,400 --> 00:36:47,439
Speaker 1: there was, if the whole push was about you can't

611
00:36:47,480 --> 00:36:49,839
Speaker 1: fall in love, you can't fall in love, I would

612
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:52,480
Speaker 1: have preferred this is just me personally. I would have

613
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:57,399
Speaker 1: preferred she had fail in love with a black man,

614
00:36:57,640 --> 00:37:02,320
Speaker 1: me personally personally, because it does. But it does contribute

615
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:05,359
Speaker 1: to that great white hope agenda. It just does. And

616
00:37:05,440 --> 00:37:06,840
Speaker 1: you guys don't have to see it that way. But

617
00:37:06,880 --> 00:37:09,959
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you I didn't. I wasn't really feeling that.

618
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:12,359
Speaker 1: I wasn't really feeling that part. I was like, well,

619
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: because she not because they have just taken love out

620
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,399
Speaker 1: of it, or I guess you know, the movie had

621
00:37:18,440 --> 00:37:20,759
Speaker 1: to have that in it because she noted maybe it

622
00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:22,920
Speaker 1: fell in love with somebody else that it had to

623
00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:25,080
Speaker 1: be the one that didn't know if he wanted to

624
00:37:25,080 --> 00:37:28,239
Speaker 1: sell to come sell slaves or fall in love with

625
00:37:28,239 --> 00:37:31,160
Speaker 1: a slave, even I came to learn my roots and

626
00:37:31,200 --> 00:37:33,600
Speaker 1: all of that. You know. That was just I don't

627
00:37:33,600 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 1: know about that part. That part was like, come on that, y'all.

628
00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:40,160
Speaker 1: We don't we're doing to my Let's focus on the warriors.

629
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:44,480
Speaker 1: Let's get through this. But that part was I was

630
00:37:44,520 --> 00:37:48,239
Speaker 1: a little bit, a little bit like, oh, I don't

631
00:37:48,239 --> 00:37:50,480
Speaker 1: know if I like that part that much. But again,

632
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:55,520
Speaker 1: it the movie wasn't centered on it. Uh, But I

633
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,759
Speaker 1: just thought, if we're going to be honest and have

634
00:37:57,840 --> 00:38:01,479
Speaker 1: the conversation about why people are so excited to see dark,

635
00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:04,000
Speaker 1: dark skin and black women on on the screen, well

636
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:07,040
Speaker 1: let's be fair then and let's ask why couldn't she

637
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:09,799
Speaker 1: fall in love with the dark skin black men. I'll

638
00:38:09,880 --> 00:38:11,400
Speaker 1: let you let me take a sip right quick on

639
00:38:11,400 --> 00:38:14,840
Speaker 1: that one. If y'all gonna push it's important to see black,

640
00:38:15,880 --> 00:38:20,000
Speaker 1: dark skinned women on the scene, then why because she not?

641
00:38:20,280 --> 00:38:22,120
Speaker 1: Why couldn't have been Why couldn't she fall in love

642
00:38:22,160 --> 00:38:25,200
Speaker 1: with another warrior? Because the black men in the movie

643
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,640
Speaker 1: were beating the hell out of us, So why couldn't

644
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,960
Speaker 1: be the savior, the one that saved the day, the

645
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:32,960
Speaker 1: one that she fell in love. When how come he

646
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 1: couldn't be no dark skin black man. It's just a question,

647
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,760
Speaker 1: I ask. It's just a question. I know it's a movie.

648
00:38:36,960 --> 00:38:39,520
Speaker 1: I know y'all entertained by it, but I I do,

649
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,279
Speaker 1: I do gotta kind of point that out, you know,

650
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:46,000
Speaker 1: since y'all so we in the color, since color is

651
00:38:46,040 --> 00:38:48,480
Speaker 1: all about it. I'm just I just that was just

652
00:38:48,520 --> 00:38:52,080
Speaker 1: one of the things that I know is personally. One

653
00:38:52,080 --> 00:38:55,279
Speaker 1: comment says I didn't need the love story. I don't

654
00:38:55,320 --> 00:38:59,359
Speaker 1: know if it was that to add to the rebellious spirit. Yeah,

655
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:02,880
Speaker 1: I guess, you know, I guess it was. You know,

656
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:05,200
Speaker 1: I didn't need it either, you know, because they already

657
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,799
Speaker 1: said you can't be in love, So I didn't need

658
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,319
Speaker 1: it either, But they put it in there. So all

659
00:39:09,360 --> 00:39:11,120
Speaker 1: I'm saying is why you couldn't put it in there?

660
00:39:11,160 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 1: And one of them fine man Dingo brothers. That that's

661
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,319
Speaker 1: all I that's my only thing with that, you know,

662
00:39:19,480 --> 00:39:21,680
Speaker 1: since y'all bringing up color, you know, let's go ahead

663
00:39:21,680 --> 00:39:24,360
Speaker 1: and have it. Why come with why come one of

664
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:26,440
Speaker 1: the man Dingo brothers she couldn't fall in love with?

665
00:39:26,520 --> 00:39:31,880
Speaker 1: Him and uh uh let him save the day and

666
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:33,759
Speaker 1: then put it on a real good and make us say,

667
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:35,040
Speaker 1: I don't want to be no war. You know more,

668
00:39:35,080 --> 00:39:37,640
Speaker 1: I think I'm be in loved because then we know

669
00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:39,920
Speaker 1: we know black men can do what y'all. We know

670
00:39:39,960 --> 00:39:42,400
Speaker 1: black men can do it because nobody here attack. If

671
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:44,960
Speaker 1: can't nobody change a woman's mind, it's a black man.

672
00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: So I just feel like, you know, I'm joking now,

673
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 1: but I'm so for real. If y'all like good fiction,

682
00:40:16,200 --> 00:40:18,520
Speaker 1: me and don't really like when y'all being here talking

683
00:40:18,520 --> 00:40:20,560
Speaker 1: ship and playing. I got some people in l A

684
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:23,080
Speaker 1: that really don't like, uh like and when y'all play

685
00:40:23,160 --> 00:40:26,080
Speaker 1: with me a lot. But anyway, we'll we'll move we'll

686
00:40:26,120 --> 00:40:28,840
Speaker 1: move on past that. And I guess that's why. I

687
00:40:29,120 --> 00:40:32,200
Speaker 1: guess we're bringing that up. I guess that's why for me,

688
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:34,720
Speaker 1: I know there are a lot of women that saw

689
00:40:34,800 --> 00:40:37,400
Speaker 1: this and feel alone in the battle, and I just

690
00:40:37,440 --> 00:40:39,719
Speaker 1: don't feel alone in the battle. I know. I gotta

691
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:41,960
Speaker 1: rider that's gonna ride with me, that's gonna say move

692
00:40:42,040 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 1: out the way. I got that, and I'm talking about physically,

693
00:40:46,080 --> 00:40:49,040
Speaker 1: will physically move out the way and go beat somebody

694
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:53,360
Speaker 1: up for me. So I guess that's why for me. Uh,

695
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,840
Speaker 1: I like to see black men and black women together

696
00:40:57,960 --> 00:41:01,759
Speaker 1: in that way. Now again, I understand this movie, I

697
00:41:01,800 --> 00:41:05,320
Speaker 1: get it. But if we're gonna talk about a movie,

698
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:08,799
Speaker 1: a fiction movie that that I like, that I really

699
00:41:08,880 --> 00:41:13,040
Speaker 1: rock with. I really like, um, the harder they fall,

700
00:41:13,960 --> 00:41:16,120
Speaker 1: I like the harder they fall. And I know people

701
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,040
Speaker 1: had issues with that because they said, why did the

702
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:20,560
Speaker 1: leading one have to be light skinned? Okay, that's fair,

703
00:41:20,920 --> 00:41:24,600
Speaker 1: But I like the harder they fall because our heroes

704
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:30,960
Speaker 1: and our villains were black. I like the the drama

705
00:41:31,040 --> 00:41:35,960
Speaker 1: in it, and I specially love the genuine love that

706
00:41:36,080 --> 00:41:38,560
Speaker 1: they had for each other and the couple and how

707
00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:42,320
Speaker 1: they were truly you know, just on some real ride

708
00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:45,440
Speaker 1: of ship together. My favorite scene is when they were, oh,

709
00:41:45,480 --> 00:41:48,640
Speaker 1: you gotta watch have they seen harder they fall? My

710
00:41:48,680 --> 00:41:52,240
Speaker 1: favorite scene was when they were uh, you know, fighting,

711
00:41:52,320 --> 00:41:56,239
Speaker 1: shooting each other and had each other's back literally his

712
00:41:56,440 --> 00:42:01,759
Speaker 1: woman and stagecoach Mary and the lead Mail. So I

713
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:03,799
Speaker 1: that to me if I'm if I'm gonna be all

714
00:42:03,840 --> 00:42:08,279
Speaker 1: excited about something fiction. I liked that entire thing that

715
00:42:08,400 --> 00:42:11,520
Speaker 1: just that movie was just awesome and it made me

716
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:14,400
Speaker 1: just feel good in a lot of different ways, even

717
00:42:14,560 --> 00:42:19,200
Speaker 1: you know, Regina King's role, even the villains, the bad guys. Um,

718
00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,879
Speaker 1: I just liked the whole thing. She she she went

719
00:42:21,960 --> 00:42:24,960
Speaker 1: hard into paint, you know, and it just showed black

720
00:42:25,000 --> 00:42:28,200
Speaker 1: men and black women equal in a lot of ways,

721
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 1: but still a black man lad but still a black

722
00:42:32,280 --> 00:42:35,120
Speaker 1: woman followed and sometimes she had to lead. And when

723
00:42:35,120 --> 00:42:39,000
Speaker 1: I say lead, I meant when he said, hey, don't

724
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:41,000
Speaker 1: come follow me, say where you are, and she was like, no,

725
00:42:41,160 --> 00:42:43,279
Speaker 1: we're coming with you. We're riding with you. That was

726
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:46,000
Speaker 1: a leadership thing that she did. She took a leadership

727
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,160
Speaker 1: role and say no, if you're gonna die, we all

728
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:50,720
Speaker 1: them die. And then they rolled off in the sunset

729
00:42:50,760 --> 00:42:52,799
Speaker 1: together at the end. So that and so if we're

730
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:55,880
Speaker 1: gonna get caught up an emotional about a movie and

731
00:42:55,920 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: clapping and cheering and crying, that was one for me

732
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:02,200
Speaker 1: that I just liked all the way through. And there

733
00:43:02,280 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 1: was some truth to that too. Some of those characters

734
00:43:04,200 --> 00:43:07,560
Speaker 1: were true. But we cannot pretend that Woman King is

735
00:43:07,600 --> 00:43:10,759
Speaker 1: not based upon historical facts, no matter how many people

736
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,800
Speaker 1: keep tashtagging it's not a movie, it's not it's a

737
00:43:12,840 --> 00:43:15,160
Speaker 1: document is a document, is not a documentary. It's a movie.

738
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:17,560
Speaker 1: It's a Movie's a movie? You sound. I know, I

739
00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:20,080
Speaker 1: can't say this because I know retarded. I know. We

740
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,799
Speaker 1: can't use retarded anymore because y'all get mad. So what's

741
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 1: the word that they use? Um intellectually disabled. You're intellectually disabled.

742
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 1: If you don't understand that there are some history data

743
00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,840
Speaker 1: in this movie that people are going to talk about,

744
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:42,080
Speaker 1: you have an intellectual disability. If you don't understand that

745
00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,880
Speaker 1: there is there are facts in this movie that people

746
00:43:44,880 --> 00:43:47,840
Speaker 1: are going to talk about, and and you continuing to

747
00:43:47,880 --> 00:43:50,400
Speaker 1: say it's just a movie, It's just a movie, shows

748
00:43:50,480 --> 00:43:58,239
Speaker 1: that you're intellectually disabled. Yeah, challenged, So that that's all

749
00:43:58,320 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 1: it is too. It so don't get mad at people

750
00:44:00,080 --> 00:44:03,279
Speaker 1: talking about the facts. And the movie is designed that way.

751
00:44:03,280 --> 00:44:05,200
Speaker 1: You should talk about it. That's what movies, that's what

752
00:44:05,320 --> 00:44:07,239
Speaker 1: art is. To come out and talk about it and

753
00:44:07,320 --> 00:44:10,520
Speaker 1: disagree and not agree, and you know, see all of

754
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:12,960
Speaker 1: the see what triggers it pulls in people. And and

755
00:44:13,000 --> 00:44:16,160
Speaker 1: now you're getting a chance to see what triggers emotional

756
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:20,799
Speaker 1: triggers it pulls in people. Even some of the people

757
00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:22,920
Speaker 1: that I that I talked to, like on a daily basis,

758
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,600
Speaker 1: send me a voice Smiths and said, I don't want

759
00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: to hear nothing you gotta say about this bottom line,

760
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,000
Speaker 1: ain't gonna let nobody steal my joy. I love this movie,

00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:34,720
Speaker 1: il la lah. I love black women. I love seeing

00:44:42,600 --> 00:44:44,879
Speaker 1: Alla Davis. But this ain't about by all of Davis.

765
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:47,239
Speaker 1: This is bigger than by all the Davis, just like

766
00:44:47,280 --> 00:44:50,279
Speaker 1: it ain't about one Supreme Court chair, you know, once

767
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,480
Speaker 1: one woman as Supreme Court justice, one President Obama. I'm

768
00:44:54,520 --> 00:44:57,040
Speaker 1: always this page. I always gonna talk about the broader issue.

769
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,600
Speaker 1: It's not about one person. It's about the broader issue

770
00:45:00,200 --> 00:45:02,360
Speaker 1: because if Iola got her money, somebody can say she

771
00:45:02,400 --> 00:45:04,759
Speaker 1: got him. She already got paid for this. So while

772
00:45:04,760 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: everybody talking about we got to support Viola, Yeah, support Violi,

773
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,160
Speaker 1: but she already got paid for this. I'm I was

774
00:45:10,239 --> 00:45:15,279
Speaker 1: I'm talking about movement work. Somebody said, let's talk about

775
00:45:15,280 --> 00:45:22,520
Speaker 1: the lace front they put on his head. So anyway, guys,

776
00:45:22,960 --> 00:45:26,080
Speaker 1: those are my thoughts. Um I'm wrapping this up. I

777
00:45:26,200 --> 00:45:32,000
Speaker 1: just want to again, for those who just joined, go

778
00:45:32,080 --> 00:45:35,640
Speaker 1: back and listen to the beginning of this live. Go

779
00:45:35,680 --> 00:45:38,560
Speaker 1: back and listen to the beginning on YouTube or Twitter.

780
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:42,839
Speaker 1: I am simply not debating with you on if you

781
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:46,759
Speaker 1: should like it or not like it, or who you

782
00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:51,160
Speaker 1: should boycott or watch it or whatever. What I am

783
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:56,359
Speaker 1: saying is that, no matter what whatever conversations you have

784
00:45:56,600 --> 00:46:02,040
Speaker 1: about this, make sure that America knows that we still

785
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:09,360
Speaker 1: are coming for our check. We are still coming for

786
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 1: our check. And that's important to know because whether you

787
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:16,400
Speaker 1: get it or not, in your space arguing with your friends,

788
00:46:16,960 --> 00:46:21,360
Speaker 1: I am telling you, as somebody that debates white supremacists

789
00:46:21,360 --> 00:46:25,279
Speaker 1: in real time, they are absolutely using this as a

790
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:29,080
Speaker 1: talking point. So I just want to make sure that

791
00:46:29,200 --> 00:46:32,799
Speaker 1: as you're having the conversation you remind people that we

792
00:46:32,880 --> 00:46:36,880
Speaker 1: are coming for our check. If you like what you
