76
00:03:36,360 --> 00:03:40,160
Speaker 3: Bright card and I had two sets at the back

77
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:46,120
Speaker 3: to oh I got about that, and then this year

78
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 3: we just got the Happy Holidays. We had we dressed

79
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:51,840
Speaker 3: up all Christmas and ship so we did.

80
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,640
Speaker 2: Hope you guys enjoy them.

81
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:59,000
Speaker 3: To working on the calendars, yeah, I gotta go through

82
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: all the calendar stuff and figure out that stuff.

83
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,280
Speaker 2: I don't know. People want us to like sell them.

84
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 3: And stuff, and that's uh, it's not really set up

85
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:06,720
Speaker 3: to sell.

86
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't know. I have to look

87
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,119
Speaker 2: into that. Maybe we can do it, maybe we can't.

88
00:04:11,160 --> 00:04:11,560
Speaker 2: I don't know.

89
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 3: Maybe it's something you can there's a website or something

90
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:15,560
Speaker 3: to do something like that.

91
00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,280
Speaker 4: We'll look into that. But possibility, because you know, it's

92
00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:21,599
Speaker 4: not just us as people. Pictures of other people too,

93
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,600
Speaker 4: so you know you have to talk about their image

94
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:25,120
Speaker 4: and stuff. Like that, so you get into a lot

95
00:04:25,160 --> 00:04:27,600
Speaker 4: of legality. So if we do sell one, it will

96
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:29,520
Speaker 4: probably be just pictures of strictly me and Rock. Like,

97
00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 4: if we was to sell one, it would be just

98
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 4: me and him, or me and him and like your

99
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,040
Speaker 4: mom you know, something like that.

100
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:34,680
Speaker 2: Right somebody.

101
00:04:34,760 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I don't want to I don't know what

102
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 3: the rules are with that shit, and I don't want

103
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:41,080
Speaker 3: to like step into anybody's lane.

104
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,119
Speaker 2: Or whatever or have people like, hey, you're getting paid.

105
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:45,120
Speaker 2: You took this picture with me.

106
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,240
Speaker 3: I want some money or something like correct. You know,

107
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,960
Speaker 3: money come between friends all the time, all the time.

108
00:04:50,040 --> 00:04:50,800
Speaker 2: So, like I said, so.

109
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 3: Maybe if we do decide to do that, we'll ask

110
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,120
Speaker 3: people or something to see if they're okay with that.

111
00:04:56,240 --> 00:04:59,680
Speaker 3: But if not, you know, uh, we probably won't sell them,

112
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,240
Speaker 3: probably give them away again, which I enjoyed doing as well.

113
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:05,400
Speaker 2: We just you know, uh, I like giving them away.

114

Speaker 3: That's just I'm trying a whole head cannon of some

315
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,720
Speaker 3: super duple sell out nigga, Like, I don't see why

316
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 3: we gotta celebrate.

317
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:13,920
Speaker 2: Martin Luther King.

318
00:15:13,920 --> 00:15:16,760
Speaker 3: He never did nothing for nobody. I celebrate Roberty Lee Day,

319
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:19,600
Speaker 3: you know, Sheriff Clark somewhere.

320
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 2: Cheer anyway.

321
00:15:21,960 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 3: It's just I understand if you don't celebrate, because all

322
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:26,760
Speaker 3: of them have problems. Christmas you almost need money basically

323
00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:29,040
Speaker 3: to celebrate it, right because as much as its supposed

324
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:33,280
Speaker 3: to be a holiday about giving and everything instead of receiving, well,

325
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,360
Speaker 3: giving is what costs the money, not the receiving.

326
00:15:36,120 --> 00:15:37,760
Speaker 2: So you have that, you.

327
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:40,880
Speaker 3: Have family you don't want to see or can't afford

328
00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 3: to see. Christis is a traveling holiday, right, So I

329
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 3: can understand that Kwanza is not as popular.

330
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 2: Honey can stuff. If you're Jewish, I.

331
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,800
Speaker 3: Could see like kind of being almost roped into it,

332
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:55,640
Speaker 3: like you can't help but celebrate it because it's cultural

333
00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 3: and racial but.

334
00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 4: Right and very traditional, you know, and stuff like that.

335
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 4: And I know for us around the holidays, and everybody

336
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 4: views particularly Christmas here in the American music differently, Like

337
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:08,800
Speaker 4: I said, I just had a long time ago. All

338
00:16:08,880 --> 00:16:11,520
Speaker 4: y'all niggas is grown, grown people got jobs, not buying

339
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 4: you nothing.

340
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:12,840
Speaker 2: It's for the children.

341
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:14,480
Speaker 4: And well that's how I view It's moved.

342
00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 2: For the children.

343
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:20,760
Speaker 3: So yeah, I could understand, h not celebrate and if

344
00:16:20,760 --> 00:16:23,680
Speaker 3: you don't have kids to write stuff like that. And

345
00:16:23,720 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 3: then fifty four percent of the audience does celebrate the holidays,

346
00:16:28,120 --> 00:16:30,360
Speaker 3: and I feel like I kind of just celebrate them all,

347
00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:34,040
Speaker 3: not like kinic and shit, but just this idea that's general,

348
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 3: Like it's that whatever goodwill feeling towards people that people

349
00:16:41,440 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 3: kind of just exuding for a month. You know, it's

350
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 3: just a time where we allow ourselves, from Thanksgiving to

351
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 3: the end of the year to kind of just be like, hey,

352
00:16:52,280 --> 00:16:54,840
Speaker 3: positive vibes. You see somebody, you smile at him, you

353
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 3: speak to them, and people wish you happy holidays and

354
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 3: marry Christmas. I was at the gym today. Everybody when

355
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 3: I was with have a good New Year. Happy New Year, man,

356
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 3: you know, like I like that good feeling. I wish

357
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,280
Speaker 3: we could keep it going all year round.

358
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,679
Speaker 4: But mean too. And the thing is, I'm like you.

359
00:17:09,800 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 4: I like this time of the year. It's very enjoyable.

360
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:16,400
Speaker 4: I think as I've gotten older, I've started to enjoy

361
00:17:16,520 --> 00:17:19,879
Speaker 4: the holidays more. This year was the first time in

362
00:17:19,960 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 4: a long time I actually got it like excited, you know,

363
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 4: because that's, like I said, because we don't have children.

364
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,360
Speaker 4: Like I said, I know a lot of people who

365
00:17:27,359 --> 00:17:31,040
Speaker 4: have children. Their children keeps that excitement for them for

366
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 4: a very long time. But since we don't have children,

367
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,040
Speaker 4: I didn't have anything that really got that excitement going.

368
00:17:36,080 --> 00:17:37,760
Speaker 4: So I was like, Okay, it's just a time of

369
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 4: the year and people are happy. But I particularly with

370
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:43,200
Speaker 4: this year, we talk about being thankful. So it was

371
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 4: more of me just being more thankful this year, which

372
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:49,800
Speaker 4: actually made that happiness and that excitement kind of blending

373
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,520
Speaker 4: together within me and just and this is more of

374
00:17:53,560 --> 00:17:55,760
Speaker 4: a time we're reflecting for a lot of people. So

375
00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:58,560
Speaker 4: I just started reflecting. So what I'm gonna start doing

376
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:00,200
Speaker 4: is this time of the year just being most think

377
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:02,800
Speaker 4: full and reflective, which would actually cause you to be

378
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 4: just more positive.

379
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, like I said, I understand people that that uh

380
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 3: don't celebrate as well.

381
00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: You know.

382
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 3: It was funny when Susan was down down my parents' house. Uh,

383
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:21,240
Speaker 3: and everybody you know, gathered around and caring, like praise

384
00:18:22,600 --> 00:18:25,000
Speaker 3: dance to do that every time. Yeah, she always leads

385
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:26,960
Speaker 3: the prayer and uh, you know, I hold hands and

386
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 3: closed eyes.

00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 2: I said, I do this on the show before.

388
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:31,240
Speaker 3: But when we got done, she's like, you pray and

389
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,480
Speaker 3: I was like, no, I closed my eyes, old hands

00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:37,840
Speaker 3: with everybody. But it's fine, Like I like, it's the vibe,

Speaker 3: like everybody's being positive. Everybody's you know, you know, everybody's

Speaker 3: the vibe to me is positive, like right, that's part

400
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,679
Speaker 3: of the positivity is like, man, people are wishing good things.

401
00:19:09,720 --> 00:19:13,479
Speaker 3: If you know, if nothing comes of it, who cares?

402
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 2: Correct? You know?

403
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:17,639
Speaker 3: And if something if people feel that it's connected that

404
00:19:17,720 --> 00:19:21,600
Speaker 3: positive things are happening for folks because of their.

405
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 2: Beliefs, that's good too. I don't you know it doesn't

00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:37,240
Speaker 4: And I know for a lot of people, you know,

412
00:19:37,760 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 4: this time of the year might not be as happy,

413
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,359
Speaker 4: you know as for some people be it, you know,

414
00:19:42,400 --> 00:19:44,600

415
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 4: people loose loved ones and things like that. So I

416
00:19:46,240 --> 00:19:48,200
Speaker 4: know for some people they might not celebrate it because

417
00:19:48,200 --> 00:19:51,600
Speaker 4: of those things. But I know for most people it's

418
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,920
Speaker 4: some form of enjoyment out of it. Nothing else. You

419
00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,680

Speaker 2: I always loved having him long.

427
00:20:11,840 --> 00:20:16,080

00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 3: I will confess that if the Rock does run for president,

466
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:04,119

Speaker 3: of y'all can kiss my eyes Jesus Christ. I was like,

471
00:22:15,359 --> 00:22:17,040
Speaker 3: you know, how many black women gonna vote for the

472
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:20,160
Speaker 3: Republican or how much of the black vote we're gonna

473
00:22:20,200 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 3: lose if the Rock runs for Republican And like some

474
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,760
Speaker 3: people were like ha ha, you know, I had to

475
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,719
Speaker 3: think about it, you know, stuff like like Joe, they

476
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:28,560
Speaker 3: were getting a joke.

477
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 2: They were laughing at being silly.

478
00:22:30,760 --> 00:22:33,640
Speaker 3: I don't actually think black women are gonna fucking vote

479
00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 3: for the Rock if he runs for Republican. But oh

480
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:39,760
Speaker 3: my godted all the serious people. Well, first of all,

481
00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:41,119
Speaker 3: I had to mute my own tweet. I was like,

482
00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:43,000
Speaker 3: I don't want to hear this shit, and mute my

483
00:22:43,080 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 3: thread on Facebook. I don't want to hear it was

484
00:22:44,840 --> 00:22:47,280
Speaker 3: just a fucking joke, y'a. Like, y'all know, I'm joking.

485
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,760
Speaker 3: I put up like four thirst trap picks of the Rock,

486
00:22:50,320 --> 00:22:52,000
Speaker 3: like how much of the vote coming with them? Because

487
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,440
Speaker 3: you know, peopould be like the Rock so fine and

488
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:55,120
Speaker 3: all this shit.

489
00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 2: No, it was just a joke.

490
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:59,040
Speaker 3: Oh my god, It's so funny because you know, if

491
00:22:59,080 --> 00:23:01,480
Speaker 3: I would have went the other and put like, I

492
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 3: don't know, let's say, let's say Neil Long was talking

493
00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:07,239
Speaker 3: about running for president, and we was like, what if

494
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,879
Speaker 3: she read Republican, how much the black male vote would go?

495
00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 3: Oh man, they would have dragged every nigga on my timeline.

496
00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 3: Come would have been considering it too, like, dude, what

497
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:21,080
Speaker 3: you hear she running Republican? I don't know what's the platform,

498
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,840
Speaker 3: like one of the issues. But SAMPO can't even make

499
00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:26,960
Speaker 3: a joke about thirst without everybody getting up.

500
00:23:26,880 --> 00:23:27,600
Speaker 2: In arms.

501
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 3: Vote for me, right, I would consider it equality to

502
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,040
Speaker 3: be a part of the ninety four percent to vote

503
00:23:34,720 --> 00:23:37,240
Speaker 3: him in because he is shiny and Carroll's people and

504
00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:41,400
Speaker 3: what that was? Candy asses? I agree care, I agree care?

505
00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,399
Speaker 3: Who cares about policy when we are smelling what he

506
00:23:43,520 --> 00:23:43,879
Speaker 3: is cooking?

507
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 2: Come on, thanks? Asy baked chicken?

508
00:23:47,560 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 4: Is it greens? What is you cooking in now? Macaroni

509
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:50,439
Speaker 4: and cheese?

510
00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,440
Speaker 3: Lama Lama Time says, Oh my god. The John Burnthal

511
00:23:53,520 --> 00:23:56,520
Speaker 3: impressions that Jail did had me cracking up. My coworker

512
00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,440
Speaker 3: and I were the only two in the office. She

513
00:23:58,480 --> 00:23:59,639
Speaker 3: wanted to be in on the joke, but I was

514
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:03,160
Speaker 3: busy laughing and I fell out the second time too. Well,

515
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 3: thank you for listening and getting another jokes. The poll,

516
00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:09,440
Speaker 3: have you ever taken a break from social media?

517
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:10,359
Speaker 2: Yes? On purpose?

518
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:14,000
Speaker 3: Yes, but not on purpose and no. I was surprised

519
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:16,040
Speaker 3: by these results. Eighty five percent of our audience has

520
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:19,080
Speaker 3: taken a break from social media on purpose, which is

521
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,159
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I thought maybe I was kind

522
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:24,439
Speaker 3: of alone in that, but I think we all are

523
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:28,959
Speaker 3: kind of dealing withsanity. Yeah, and you're dealing with a lot.

524
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:30,280
Speaker 3: Like I said, it's the closest you can get to

525
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,879
Speaker 3: being psychic. It's just everyone's thoughts all the time that

526
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:35,760
Speaker 3: normally are in their head are on the screen in

527
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:38,360
Speaker 3: front of you, and if you keep absorbing them, you're

528
00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 3: gonna absorb you know, especially if you kind of truck

529
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 3: in the circles that are more like liberal and stuff,

530
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,119
Speaker 3: because those circles are the ones where you hear more

531
00:24:48,160 --> 00:24:52,480
Speaker 3: about people's pain, rank people struggles, the things that they're

532
00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:56,560
Speaker 3: dealing with. Even if you don't experience them themselves yourself,

533
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:59,680
Speaker 3: you're gonna get it. And you know, certain videos, certain

534
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:03,000
Speaker 3: news articles, stuff like that are going to circulate, and

535
00:25:03,119 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 3: you have to deal with with people's anger all that

536
00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 3: stuff in a way that I think when you're more

537
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 3: living in a more oblivious situation where you can just

538
00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 3: be like, I'm just on here for pictures of cupcakes,

539
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:16,240
Speaker 3: and you.

540
00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,440
Speaker 4: Know, sometimes I get like that where I just do

541
00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:22,320
Speaker 4: gifts and cupcakes and everything is just positive, positive, positive,

542
00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 4: and I see it.

543
00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:24,600
Speaker 2: But that's putting it out. I'm saying.

544
00:25:25,119 --> 00:25:27,119
Speaker 3: Take there are people that are like, I'm only friends

545
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 3: with people that post pictures of their babies, you know,

546
00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:30,840
Speaker 3: that's it.

547
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 2: I don't like, I don't want no friends or like

548
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:34,760
Speaker 2: what you're talking about. Get off my page.

549
00:25:34,840 --> 00:25:37,600
Speaker 4: You know, I don't blame you. Sometimes it's like that.

550
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:38,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's just interesting.

551
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,479
Speaker 3: Because I bet those people have maybe a better experience

552
00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:44,879
Speaker 3: on social media, even if they're not necessarily enriched by it,

553
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:50,600
Speaker 3: that you know, it's a place of relaxation for them. Correct, yes,

554
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,840
Speaker 3: but not on purpose. That was eleven and a half percent.

555
00:25:52,920 --> 00:25:55,680
Speaker 3: I've also been in that group. I'm like, oh, I'm

556
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 3: kicked off Facebook.

557
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:01,639
Speaker 2: Okay, welp taking a break today, and no four percent

558
00:26:01,760 --> 00:26:02,080
Speaker 2: say no.

559
00:26:04,720 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 3: And let's go to the next episode fifteen eighty five

560
00:26:07,880 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 3: Thankful for twenty eighteen. We got a couple of comments

561
00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:14,840
Speaker 3: on this one. This we just we got a long

562
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,560
Speaker 3: tangent about with cars, random thoughts, and tried to salvage

563
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,560
Speaker 3: it with some jokes at the end. We tried, We tried,

564
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,560
Speaker 3: Jannica says, Okay, so y'all really got me snot nose

565
00:26:24,640 --> 00:26:25,280
Speaker 3: at my desk.

566

Speaker 2: I love y'all so much.

567
00:26:28,600 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 3: I started listening right after my favorite uncle passed away,

568
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 3: and this podcast has brought me so much joy.

569
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,359
Speaker 2: Okay, I gotta blow my nose. Love y'all.

570
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:40,679
Speaker 3: Oh, thank you, Janica, Donzie David says, Happy New Year

573
00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:53,520
Speaker 3: you both of my problematic phase. Well I'm not problematic,

574
00:26:53,760 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 3: Karen would be your problematic phase. I feel that I'm

575
00:26:57,760 --> 00:26:59,159
Speaker 3: pretty much perfect.

576
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,280
Speaker 4: And then my hugs is better since we're gonna take shots.

577
00:27:02,480 --> 00:27:04,600
Speaker 2: Uh, well you're doing out here making jokes about these

578
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:08,600
Speaker 2: sticks and stuff. I don't know, Rod, some glorious sticks.

579
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:09,119
Speaker 2: Here we go.

580
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 3: Rod, you have taught me the savage way to eat

581
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:16,000
Speaker 3: a kitcat. Okay, maybe I'm a problem man. See Karen,

582
00:27:16,080 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 3: you taught me that is okay to vote for shiny

583
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,359
Speaker 3: things and be okay with it is it is. In

584
00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:23,760
Speaker 3: twenty eighteen, I will live my best white woman of

585
00:27:23,800 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 3: color life because twenty seventeen was about learning how.

586
00:27:26,320 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 2: To live my best life. Thanks to you too, all

587
00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:33,080
Speaker 2: Virtual hugs from me to you. Thank you. Turk says,

588
00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:35,400
Speaker 2: hi guys, Happy New Year. The Hardscope thing was great.

589
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,080
Speaker 2: Love you guys. Peace Turk, Thanks Turk, thank you. And lastly,

590
00:27:39,200 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 2: Amani says, y'all got a Nigga Crime. Listening to this.

591
00:27:41,840 --> 00:27:44,720
Speaker 3: Episode, don't even have to hide behind the thug tears

592
00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 3: because this real, this real, really was.

593
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 2: A moment, and it's exactly the honesty and integrity that

594
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 2: is your hallmark.

595
00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:52,880
Speaker 3: Watching you both come into your owners pot for whether

596
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 3: you know it or not, you give other people permission

597
00:27:55,280 --> 00:27:57,840
Speaker 3: to do it too. As the good son, I've had

598
00:27:57,880 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 3: to be responsible for other people of my whole life,

599
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:02,280
Speaker 3: but it's only been recently that I started to figure

600
00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,879
Speaker 3: out how to do what makes me happy. Part of

601
00:28:04,960 --> 00:28:07,400
Speaker 3: what is the part of that is the same overthinking

602
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:09,720
Speaker 3: and pessimism Rod deals with. But seeing you let go

603
00:28:09,920 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 3: and trusting your success has helped me do the same.

604
00:28:12,560 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 3: You two are finally seeing yourselves the way we all do,

605
00:28:15,880 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 3: and that's easier said than done. I love y'all for real,

606
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 3: and I don't mean this podcast is as people can't

607
00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:22,520
Speaker 3: wait to see the Girl continue in twenty eighteen.

608
00:28:22,840 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 2: Ps.

609
00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 3: Rod might not be as good a hugger as Karen,

610
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,360
Speaker 3: but I can vouch that this NIGGASDAP is undefeated. Hear

611
00:28:29,440 --> 00:28:32,760
Speaker 3: somebody else say that online, Biggs Leonard, don't underestimate great

612
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:33,679
Speaker 3: point guard skills.

613
00:28:33,720 --> 00:28:35,159
Speaker 2: Thanks man I appreciate it.

614
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 4: You had a depth game.

615
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,560
Speaker 3: Well, that's fine. Lastly, the poe was, do you have

616
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 3: big plans for twenty eighteen?

617
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: Yes?

618
00:28:45,520 --> 00:28:45,560
Speaker 4: No?

619
00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,480
Speaker 2: Or about the same yes. Fifty four percent of y'all

620
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,040
Speaker 2: say I got big plans twenty eighteen.

621
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:53,520
Speaker 3: I fit, y'all get up, let's go. Twenty five percent

622
00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,680
Speaker 3: say no, I don't have big plans. I've been in

623
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,320
Speaker 3: that group many times. Yes, you ever like have big

624
00:28:58,360 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 3: plans and you look at your bank acount, be like,

625
00:28:59,720 --> 00:29:04,280

Speaker 4: See what.

659
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,280
Speaker 6: Hey, guys, I don't know if you remember, I'm the

660
00:30:50,320 --> 00:30:54,000
Speaker 6: one who called like three months ago and I choked

661
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,400
Speaker 6: and panic. It was like I'm freezing up. Well, I'm back.

662
00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,280
Speaker 6: It took me a few months to get my shit together,

663
00:31:01,080 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 6: but I have a couple of questions Karen. First of all,

664
00:31:06,400 --> 00:31:08,080
Speaker 6: you are absolutely amazing.

665
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:08,600
Speaker 4: Oh.

666
00:31:09,440 --> 00:31:12,840
Speaker 6: I always appreciate ever you talk about, just about anything.

667
00:31:13,600 --> 00:31:16,440
Speaker 6: I like how passionate you get. I love how you

668
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 6: even for you two. I love how you both and

669
00:31:18,880 --> 00:31:21,680
Speaker 6: it's important for me, I think, because I'm from North Carolina,

670
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,239
Speaker 6: almost from New York when I was three, but it's

671
00:31:24,320 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 6: important for me to hear people with your accent talk

672
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 6: about the things that you talk about. It's always like this,

673
00:31:31,920 --> 00:31:35,480
Speaker 6: this assumption that people from the South are like assholes,

674
00:31:35,600 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 6: or they wouldn't be the ones who talk about the

675
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:39,760
Speaker 6: things that you guys talked about. And I really appreciate it.

676
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 6: Money at a time, Okay, I had two questions. My

677
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:47,200
Speaker 6: first question was for Karen. Karen, you mentioned a long

678
00:31:47,400 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 6: time ago that you listened to a podcast that was

679
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:55,840
Speaker 6: older black women talking about cultural issues. I believe I

680
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:57,560
Speaker 6: don't remember what the name of it was, and I'm

681
00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,200
Speaker 6: trying to get my mom in the podcast. I think

682
00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,080
Speaker 6: that would be a good start while that and you guys,

683
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,160
Speaker 6: of course, it would be a good start for her Rod.

684
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 6: I feel like this question was asked before any book

685
00:32:09,440 --> 00:32:13,400
Speaker 6: recommendations you have for learning about you know, African American

686
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:16,480
Speaker 6: history or slavery or any of that, and just so

687
00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,640
Speaker 6: that can be more informed. For the longest time, I

688
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:21,480
Speaker 6: was just running away from it, but you said some

689
00:32:21,640 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 6: shit and that stuck with me where it's like we

690
00:32:24,200 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 6: don't need to have that shame because we didn't do that.

691
00:32:28,240 --> 00:32:31,920
Speaker 6: So probably over the two minutes, Okay, I just wanting.

692
00:32:31,720 --> 00:32:32,160
Speaker 2: To say that.

693
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,440
Speaker 6: My ad on Twitter is whirling assault. I hope you

694
00:32:36,520 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 6: both have a merry Christmas. You bring lots of LUNs

695
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,560
Speaker 6: of joy to the world into me versually.

696
00:32:42,240 --> 00:32:47,600
Speaker 4: Thanks, thank you, thank you, babe, and for me. The

697
00:32:47,720 --> 00:32:51,240
Speaker 4: name of that podcast is called Gossip Being Hippers. That's

698
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:55,000

722
00:34:07,320 --> 00:34:07,480
Speaker 4: Right.

723
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:09,800
Speaker 2: Oh, I picked up the phone on the middle of

724
00:34:09,840 --> 00:34:10,440
Speaker 2: that conversation.

725
00:34:10,880 --> 00:34:13,400
Speaker 3: All right, so I have I'll tell you what I

726
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:17,239
Speaker 3: have on Kendle and I haven't read all of it yet,

727
00:34:17,440 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 3: but these are some of the things I have that

728
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,040
Speaker 3: I think, Uh, if you want to do a reading

729
00:34:23,120 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 3: list or something, it might help. And I'm gonna leave

730
00:34:25,080 --> 00:34:28,480
Speaker 3: out all my hood fiction, which I still do have and.

731
00:34:28,560 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 2: Read cashod fiction.

732
00:34:33,160 --> 00:34:37,239
Speaker 3: But obviously I would say my number one recommendation is

733
00:34:37,280 --> 00:34:40,640
Speaker 3: the Volia five Volia glyph and that's th h A

734
00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:43,840
Speaker 3: v O l I A glynph.

735
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:44,920
Speaker 4: Is g l y m p h.

736
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,880
Speaker 3: She has a book called Out of the House of Bondage,

737
00:34:47,920 --> 00:34:51,239
Speaker 3: The Transformation of the Plantation Household. Not only is it

738
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 3: about slavery, it's also about freedom, freed people. It's about

739
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,480
Speaker 3: specifically centered around black women's experience. And I want to say,

740
00:35:00,480 --> 00:35:03,479
Speaker 3: I got this suggestion. I want to say Tanna Hockey

741
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:08,799
Speaker 3: Coast tweeted out this suggestion maybe a couple of years ago,

742
00:35:09,200 --> 00:35:13,480
Speaker 3: and yeah, it's really eye opening. And I think a

743
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:15,319
Speaker 3: lot of times when you hear me talk about how

744
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,600
Speaker 3: it's stupid for black men to assist a black men anyway,

745
00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:22,040
Speaker 3: to want patriarchy and the way the white men have it,

746
00:35:22,840 --> 00:35:25,160
Speaker 3: this is one of the greatest resources because you find

747
00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:28,840
Speaker 3: out how much black women have never been to southern bells,

748
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,520
Speaker 3: They've never been to gentel like women, they've never been

749
00:35:33,080 --> 00:35:34,120
Speaker 3: the mistress.

750
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:35,320
Speaker 2: Of a house like in general.

751
00:35:35,840 --> 00:35:37,799
Speaker 3: Black women have always worked with us side by side

752
00:35:37,840 --> 00:35:39,360
Speaker 3: in the fields and then turned around and had to

753
00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:40,799
Speaker 3: do all the labor in the house and then turn

754
00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:42,719
Speaker 3: around to do label for white folks the houses and

755
00:35:42,800 --> 00:35:47,680
Speaker 3: children and stuff. So not only is it irrational to

756
00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,320
Speaker 3: expect them to be subservient to black men. It is

757
00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,399
Speaker 3: also damaging because in order for most for the way

758
00:35:56,480 --> 00:35:58,759
Speaker 3: that patriarchy is set up and the way the mail

759
00:35:58,800 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 3: ego is set up, most of us would want black

760
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:04,359
Speaker 3: women to take a step back from excellence in order

761
00:36:04,400 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 3: to be our partners, and that that is fundamentally worse

762
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,960
Speaker 3: for black people, and egos and stuff get in the way,

763
00:36:13,000 --> 00:36:14,480
Speaker 3: and I think people can't see that. It's one of

764
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:17,080
Speaker 3: the reasons the hotel self comes out ridiculous. It's one

765
00:36:17,080 --> 00:36:19,319
Speaker 3: of the reasons people that complain about black women being

766
00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:24,880
Speaker 3: higher educated business owners or feminists, they sound ridiculous to

767
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:32,120
Speaker 3: me because we black women have never had that ability

768
00:36:33,040 --> 00:36:35,839
Speaker 3: or luxury, not even ability that luxury to just rely

769
00:36:35,960 --> 00:36:37,960
Speaker 3: on black men to be income earners while they just

770
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,800
Speaker 3: sit at home and do nothing quote unquote, whereas southern

771
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:46,680
Speaker 3: plantation white women have had that, you know, in many cases,

772
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:48,720
Speaker 3: not all quote unquote.

773
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:49,319
Speaker 2: For a lot of white women.

774
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:52,239
Speaker 3: I mean there's white women that you know, they were poor,

775
00:36:52,320 --> 00:36:54,920
Speaker 3: they worked in the fields and stuff, but not all

776
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,359
Speaker 3: white people own slaves and shit like that. So it's

777
00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,080
Speaker 3: not it's not at all. But other people that on

778
00:37:00,160 --> 00:37:03,600
Speaker 3: Slaves in America. I mean, come on, so, uh yeah,

779
00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:04,520
Speaker 3: that's a great book.

780
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 2: Let's see what else I have here. So it's a

781
00:37:08,360 --> 00:37:16,400
Speaker 2: Black Folk obviously uh uh. Miseducation of the Negro bykarg Woodson.

782
00:37:18,800 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 3: Of course the Fire next time, James Baldwin, I have

783
00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,040
Speaker 3: Between the World and Me and We Were eight Years

784
00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,160
Speaker 3: in Power, which if you already read ta Nazi quote

785
00:37:32,160 --> 00:37:36,719
Speaker 3: stuff in uh The Atlantic, I would read we Are

786
00:37:36,800 --> 00:37:40,000
Speaker 3: eight Years in Power. More for the edit, the like

787
00:37:40,280 --> 00:37:43,360
Speaker 3: updates he has between chapters. I think seeing how he

788
00:37:43,760 --> 00:37:49,640
Speaker 3: reflects on his eight years of covering this country in

789
00:37:49,760 --> 00:37:53,160
Speaker 3: the Obama presidency and relates it all the way back

790
00:37:53,239 --> 00:38:00,839
Speaker 3: to slavery uh uh, the South reac instruction and all

791
00:38:00,880 --> 00:38:02,960
Speaker 3: this stuff, I think it's really eye opening.

792
00:38:05,040 --> 00:38:08,840
Speaker 2: What else I got here? Well, all right, and in

793
00:38:08,960 --> 00:38:11,080
Speaker 2: these I haven't read yet. I'm working on them, okay.

794
00:38:11,120 --> 00:38:13,680
Speaker 2: Oh wait. And then of course I read Angela Davis's.

795
00:38:14,800 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 3: Angela Davis's book, which is more like a collection of.

796
00:38:20,640 --> 00:38:24,360
Speaker 2: It's really more of a collection of assay.

797
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,760
Speaker 3: She wrote It's called Freedom is a Constant struggle ferguson

798
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 3: Palestine and the foundations of a movement.

799
00:38:29,600 --> 00:38:31,120
Speaker 2: That one was a good read. As well.

800
00:38:32,400 --> 00:38:34,880
Speaker 3: It repeats itself a little bit because she's These are

801
00:38:34,920 --> 00:38:37,200
Speaker 3: a collection of speeches and interviews and stuff she's done,

802
00:38:37,719 --> 00:38:41,320
Speaker 3: so a little of its kind of repetition, and some

803
00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:43,399
Speaker 3: of it because of the speech, she can't really get

804
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:45,400
Speaker 3: into detail on certain stuff, so I still have more

805
00:38:45,480 --> 00:38:49,320
Speaker 3: reading to do, like about the Palestinian.

806
00:38:48,680 --> 00:38:51,000
Speaker 2: Struggle against Israel and stuff, because.

807
00:38:51,440 --> 00:38:54,400
Speaker 3: While she was kind of talking about it, very rarely

808
00:38:54,480 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 3: did she really get into the nitty gritty, but she

809
00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:58,120
Speaker 3: still broke down some shit.

810
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,759
Speaker 2: And I love the way that she sees the world

811
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 2: and how she.

812
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:06,520
Speaker 3: Has empathy and understanding for black people in our plight

813
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:11,279
Speaker 3: and uses that also to expand out to the rest

814
00:39:11,320 --> 00:39:14,640
Speaker 3: of the world, which is a difficult thing I think

815
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 3: for many of us to do as Americans, because we

816
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 3: do have a sort of a country privilege and we

817
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:23,760
Speaker 3: can kind of turn our eye to away from things

818
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,160
Speaker 3: that don't make us feel good.

819
00:39:26,680 --> 00:39:30,080
Speaker 2: So to see her talk about.

820
00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,600
Speaker 3: That in full terms while understanding that and not like

821
00:39:34,200 --> 00:39:38,320
Speaker 3: admonishing specifically black people, but sort of talking about the

822
00:39:38,360 --> 00:39:41,719
Speaker 3: complexities of that is I think liked.

823
00:39:41,880 --> 00:39:42,520
Speaker 2: I liked her.

824
00:39:42,440 --> 00:39:46,440
Speaker 3: Approach more than many other people who talk about it

825
00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:49,239
Speaker 3: on social media. Stuff that I've seen, but they talk

826
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:52,000
Speaker 3: about it in such harge terms that it's almost to

827
00:39:52,120 --> 00:39:53,279
Speaker 3: separate themselves.

828
00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 2: From blackness, as if I am not of two minds.

829
00:39:55,400 --> 00:39:56,640
Speaker 2: It is only one way to look at this.

830
00:39:56,840 --> 00:39:59,560
Speaker 3: Everyone else is wrong, and specifically black people are wrong.

831
00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:02,839
Speaker 3: And I always kind of push away from that because

832
00:40:02,840 --> 00:40:05,719
Speaker 3: I'm like, I don't want to spend you know, like

833
00:40:05,800 --> 00:40:07,759
Speaker 3: I don't want to watch somebody just tell black people

834
00:40:08,200 --> 00:40:11,560
Speaker 3: that in addition to white people not being shit or

835
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:15,440
Speaker 3: our country not being shit or whatever, you know, like,

836
00:40:15,520 --> 00:40:18,200
Speaker 3: in addition to all this oppression y'all experience and y'all

837
00:40:18,239 --> 00:40:20,840
Speaker 3: are fucked up, It's like, okay, cool, and there's no

838
00:40:21,080 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 3: but she has it with a there's an empathy there

839
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,879
Speaker 3: that I really appreciated about the book.

840
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,319

Speaker 7: Hey guys, it's nicked from New Jersey. Happy holidays.

881
00:42:25,680 --> 00:42:26,400
Speaker 2: I'm just listening to.

882
00:42:26,440 --> 00:42:28,400
Speaker 7: The most recent episode.

883
00:42:28,440 --> 00:42:32,080
Speaker 5: It's sort of the titled looking forward to twenty eighteen,

884
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:34,120
Speaker 5: which I am certainly as well.

885
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:35,759
Speaker 7: Yeah, I just want to.

886
00:42:38,600 --> 00:42:42,160
Speaker 8: I just want to recognize Karen's point about imposter syndrome.

887
00:42:42,880 --> 00:42:46,080
Speaker 5: As a person of color, I'm, you know, in a

888
00:42:46,400 --> 00:42:48,640
Speaker 5: position of authority in my company and I manage a

889
00:42:48,840 --> 00:42:49,919
Speaker 5: staff and all.

890
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:52,000
Speaker 8: That stuff, and I'm certainly accomplished.

891
00:42:52,040 --> 00:42:54,520
Speaker 7: But but imposter syndrome is real.

892
00:42:55,080 --> 00:42:57,560
Speaker 8: And it definitely sometimes it gets it in my way,

893
00:42:57,600 --> 00:42:59,360
Speaker 8: I know, as it does for many people when it

894
00:42:59,440 --> 00:43:04,960
Speaker 8: comes to, you know, recognizing your works. And what's especially

895
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:09,200
Speaker 8: interesting to me is that, and I appreciate Karen's point

896
00:43:09,239 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 8: about this that it's it certainly mostly affects people of color.

897
00:43:13,080 --> 00:43:16,560
Speaker 7: Far more than it does to to white people.

898
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 2: You know.

899
00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:21,520
Speaker 8: In Cirtales, I'm in where actually part of a men's group,

900
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 8: and yeah, we talked.

901
00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,640
Speaker 7: About complishing big and great things and as one.

902
00:43:25,520 --> 00:43:27,080
Speaker 5: Of the few people of color in that group. I

903
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:30,319
Speaker 5: do recognize the fact that I don't feel worthy of.

904
00:43:30,360 --> 00:43:34,120
Speaker 8: That, I don't feel like I've accomplished a lot. But

905
00:43:34,239 --> 00:43:36,640
Speaker 8: I noticed that I'm probably the only person that group

906
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:37,399
Speaker 8: that feels that way.

907
00:43:37,480 --> 00:43:39,000
Speaker 7: I tend to think sometimes it has.

908
00:43:38,920 --> 00:43:41,360
Speaker 8: To do with the fact that as a brown person,

909
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,200
Speaker 8: I never feel I'm good enough anyway.

910
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:47,719
Speaker 7: Might have gotten over my time with it. But thank

911
00:43:47,760 --> 00:43:49,360
Speaker 7: you for your show as always, and thank you for

912
00:43:49,400 --> 00:43:50,200
Speaker 7: bringing up this point.

913
00:43:50,239 --> 00:43:53,120
Speaker 8: I think it's it's worth of a of a larger conversation.

914
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:55,840
Speaker 7: I think people should have happy holidays.

915
00:43:57,560 --> 00:44:00,400
Speaker 2: Oh man, thank you, Sleeie and that agree.

916
00:44:00,440 --> 00:44:04,359
Speaker 4: And it's also one of the things too, to where

917
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,960
Speaker 4: for a lot of brown people that you gotta work

918
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:09,680
Speaker 4: twice as hard to get half as far. Like that

919
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 4: shit is real, Like I don't think people really realize

920
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:17,800
Speaker 4: how ingrained that is. And a lot of moginalized people

921
00:44:18,760 --> 00:44:22,040
Speaker 4: from generation to generation, and some people have listened to

922
00:44:22,200 --> 00:44:25,279
Speaker 4: my voices passing it on to their children, you know.

923
00:44:26,360 --> 00:44:27,840
Speaker 4: And it's one of those things where a lot of

924
00:44:27,920 --> 00:44:32,560
Speaker 4: times a lot of brown people will actually supersede, exceed,

925
00:44:32,760 --> 00:44:36,440
Speaker 4: go above and beyond, I mean literally will accomplish things

926
00:44:36,600 --> 00:44:39,960
Speaker 4: that will put everybody else to shame. But in their minds,

927
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:42,160
Speaker 4: they're still not good enough. In their mind, they still

928
00:44:42,200 --> 00:44:44,239
Speaker 4: got to go further. In their mind, it's still gotta

929
00:44:44,239 --> 00:44:46,880
Speaker 4: be faster, better, or smarter this and that. But if

930
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:50,520
Speaker 4: you really sat down and quote unquote looked at your

931
00:44:51,239 --> 00:44:55,279
Speaker 4: life's resume of all the things that you've accomplished and

932
00:44:55,520 --> 00:45:00,200
Speaker 4: all the things that you set forth for work, for

933
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:03,840
Speaker 4: life and for your relationship, and you've accomplished them, or

934
00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:08,279
Speaker 4: if you haven't accomplished them, you actually did better than

935
00:45:08,360 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 4: you thought you would, or you realized that the goal

936
00:45:10,400 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 4: that you had really wasn't what you needed in your

937
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:15,400
Speaker 4: life at that period of time. And it's one of

938
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,080
Speaker 4: those things where a lot of times, a lot of

939
00:45:18,120 --> 00:45:20,759
Speaker 4: these other people who a lot of times aren't even

940
00:45:20,800 --> 00:45:23,360
Speaker 4: thinking about you, because that's the funny thing about imposter syndrome.

941
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:28,080
Speaker 4: Other people that you comparing yourself to when you putting

942
00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:31,160
Speaker 4: yourself up against they don't even care about you, when

943
00:45:31,200 --> 00:45:32,840
Speaker 4: I don't really don't care about you, but they're not

944
00:45:32,920 --> 00:45:35,040
Speaker 4: even thinking about the things that you thinking about. Their

945
00:45:35,120 --> 00:45:38,480
Speaker 4: minds are elsewhere and trying to do other things, and

946
00:45:38,520 --> 00:45:41,640
Speaker 4: you're sitting down bogging yourself down, worrying your heart to death,

947
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 4: trying to accomplish things and put yourself and measure yourself

948
00:45:45,960 --> 00:45:48,960
Speaker 4: up against people who aren't even thinking about your goals

949
00:45:49,040 --> 00:45:51,520
Speaker 4: and honestly, and a lot of times if they try

950
00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,480
Speaker 4: to challenge you, if you start really writing off the

951
00:45:53,480 --> 00:45:56,000
Speaker 4: shit that you've done, it will actually make them look stupid.

952
00:45:56,040 --> 00:45:56,960
Speaker 4: And a lot of them know that.

953
00:45:58,120 --> 00:46:02,759
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think, yeah, everything you said, I agree, So

954
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:04,160
Speaker 2: I thank you.

955
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,200
Speaker 4: Baby, I know, And I'm glad that because I didn't

956
00:46:07,200 --> 00:46:08,960
Speaker 4: even really know what it was doing. So I'm glad

957
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:11,360
Speaker 4: a lot of people are actually sitting and thinking and

958
00:46:11,440 --> 00:46:13,800
Speaker 4: analyzing that and realizing that I too am a victim

959
00:46:13,880 --> 00:46:16,719
Speaker 4: of that, and I too needn't prove this mm hmm.

960
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,960
Speaker 3: And I think, especially among people of colored, so much

961
00:46:22,000 --> 00:46:25,359
Speaker 3: of society is just telling us that we are less than.

962
00:46:26,600 --> 00:46:29,040
Speaker 3: So everything you do, no matter how excellent it is,

963
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,120
Speaker 3: no matter what spaces you get in that you quote

964
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:35,919
Speaker 3: unquote don't belong in, and vice versa, you're always gonna

965
00:46:35,920 --> 00:46:39,120
Speaker 3: feel a little bit of like is this an illusion?

966
00:46:39,280 --> 00:46:40,920
Speaker 2: And I think it's hard to deal with.

967
00:46:43,960 --> 00:46:47,239
Speaker 3: It's hard not to question yourself in a world that's

968
00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:48,920
Speaker 3: designed for you to question yourself.

969
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:49,640
Speaker 4: You know.

970
00:46:49,719 --> 00:46:53,480
Speaker 3: I was thinking about how I asked this question on

971
00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:58,080
Speaker 3: social media on Twitter yesterday. I was like, because I

972
00:46:58,120 --> 00:47:00,799
Speaker 3: see people mock like these shirts and stuff and these

973
00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,959
Speaker 3: ideas when people say like, I'm unapologetically black, and people

974
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:07,640
Speaker 3: are like, oh, you're supposed to be unapologetically black, like

975
00:47:07,680 --> 00:47:10,000
Speaker 3: you want cookie or some shit like that's nothing. And

976
00:47:10,080 --> 00:47:12,120
Speaker 3: I was thinking about this, and I was like, what

977
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:16,120
Speaker 3: are some examples of apologetic blackness?

978
00:47:16,320 --> 00:47:19,520
Speaker 2: Come on in your mind? Like, what are some examples? Right?

979
00:47:19,560 --> 00:47:24,960
Speaker 3: Because I feel like, you know, when I ask that,

980
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:30,640
Speaker 3: because the response to unapologetically black feels so visceral and

981
00:47:30,800 --> 00:47:32,360
Speaker 3: so over the top to me. So I said, what

982
00:47:32,440 --> 00:47:35,439
Speaker 3: are some examples of apologetic blackness? Because in my mind,

983
00:47:35,480 --> 00:47:39,320
Speaker 3: when I think apologetic blackness, I don't think like Herman

984
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,520
Speaker 3: Kane or Armeroso Jason Whitlock, and I think a lot

985
00:47:42,520 --> 00:47:44,480
Speaker 3: of people were saying those are the examples people gave

986
00:47:44,520 --> 00:47:48,120
Speaker 3: me immediately, and I was like, Okay, I see now

987
00:47:48,200 --> 00:47:52,360
Speaker 3: I see why maybe some people feel such visceral like

988
00:47:52,560 --> 00:47:55,879
Speaker 3: a response to when people say I'm unapologetically black. They're like, oh,

989
00:47:56,400 --> 00:47:58,640
Speaker 3: so you was basically Jason Whitlock and now you're not

990
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,239
Speaker 3: well see to me. I never thought that me either.

991
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,840
Speaker 3: And I also never saw that shirt or that slogan

992
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,360
Speaker 3: as a shot at other people.

993
00:48:06,680 --> 00:48:07,759
Speaker 4: Nope, Like I never.

994
00:48:07,719 --> 00:48:10,759
Speaker 3: Thought of it as I'm unapologetically black the rest of

995
00:48:10,840 --> 00:48:12,800
Speaker 3: y'all li's coons, you know, Like, I never saw it

996
00:48:12,880 --> 00:48:13,200
Speaker 3: that way.

997
00:48:13,840 --> 00:48:18,640
Speaker 2: So what I was thinking about was how to me

998
00:48:19,440 --> 00:48:20,800
Speaker 2: apologetically black?

999
00:48:20,960 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 3: Is stuff like I'm not I'm justifiably upset about something

1000
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,000
Speaker 3: at work, but I'm not gonna say anything because I

1001
00:48:28,120 --> 00:48:32,239
Speaker 3: don't want to be the angry black person now that

1002
00:48:32,560 --> 00:48:36,560
Speaker 3: I mean, it's a survival tactic. I'm trying to stay employed,

1003
00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,600
Speaker 3: but also I'm shrinking myself down.

1004
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:40,560
Speaker 2: I'm dulling down my shine.

1005
00:48:40,840 --> 00:48:43,800
Speaker 3: For the people I work with so they feel comfortable,

1006
00:48:43,880 --> 00:48:46,240
Speaker 3: so that I don't have to deal with the racial

1007
00:48:46,920 --> 00:48:50,319
Speaker 3: stereotypes that come along with this. You know, it's we've

1008
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,200
Speaker 3: all seen black people at your job that don't really

1009
00:48:52,200 --> 00:48:53,920
Speaker 3: speak to other black people, and you're like, why is that?

1010
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:55,880
Speaker 2: Do they just not fuck with me?

1011
00:48:55,960 --> 00:48:57,560
Speaker 3: Or they and then maybe like you see them out

1012
00:48:57,600 --> 00:49:01,080
Speaker 3: somewhere and they're cool, but at work they different.

1013
00:49:01,920 --> 00:49:02,120
Speaker 4: You know.

1014
00:49:02,360 --> 00:49:07,000
Speaker 3: It's people that have white friends and ignore when somebody

1015
00:49:07,080 --> 00:49:09,800
Speaker 3: says the N word in a joke or on a

1016
00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,759
Speaker 3: song or something, and they really are bothered by but

1017
00:49:11,840 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 3: they know that if they make a scene, then they

1018
00:49:15,760 --> 00:49:18,720
Speaker 3: become the not cool black person instead of the friend

1019
00:49:18,800 --> 00:49:20,480
Speaker 3: that we respect that we learned to not say that

1020
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:21,080
Speaker 3: shit around.

1021
00:49:22,760 --> 00:49:25,080
Speaker 2: So it's stuff like that that really made me like

1022
00:49:25,520 --> 00:49:32,000
Speaker 2: think about, you know, just just the way we perceive blackness.

1023
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:34,800
Speaker 3: And I think a lot of times in these corporate

1024
00:49:34,840 --> 00:49:39,759
Speaker 3: spaces like this, we are pushed to not as if

1025
00:49:39,800 --> 00:49:43,080
Speaker 3: we don't belong already, and that feeds into that apostle syndrome.

1026
00:49:43,560 --> 00:49:46,560
Speaker 3: You know, I've worked in places where white dudes ragged

1027
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,279
Speaker 3: about getting drunk and showing up the work late in

1028
00:49:50,960 --> 00:49:53,120
Speaker 3: a company meeting and it was just a joke. He

1029
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:54,800
Speaker 3: was like, I was out fishing and I got drunk

1030
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:57,360
Speaker 3: and that's why I got here late, and dah da

1031
00:49:57,440 --> 00:49:58,600
Speaker 3: da and people were like, ha ha ha.

1032
00:49:59,719 --> 00:50:01,759
Speaker 2: You know, I work with a dude, cool ass dude,

1033
00:50:01,840 --> 00:50:04,640
Speaker 2: cool dude. But I work with a white dude whose.

1034
00:50:04,520 --> 00:50:08,200
Speaker 3: Name was Dusty, not his government name is just Dusty,

1035
00:50:08,239 --> 00:50:11,080
Speaker 3: that's what they call him. I can't even imagine the

1036
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:13,200
Speaker 3: nigga trying to walk up in the office like.

1037
00:50:13,640 --> 00:50:16,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, my name is Jerome call me Dusty.

1038
00:50:16,239 --> 00:50:17,680
Speaker 2: You know what I mean, Just call me.

1039
00:50:18,360 --> 00:50:21,520
Speaker 3: Just call me snake, guys, Okay, Snake, that's my nickname,

1040
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:24,759
Speaker 3: you know. Like we would have been like, no, your

1041
00:50:24,840 --> 00:50:26,359
Speaker 3: name is John or whatever.

1042
00:50:26,440 --> 00:50:26,880
Speaker 2: The fuck.

1043
00:50:26,960 --> 00:50:29,560
Speaker 3: You can't go by Snake, you can't go by twelve

1044
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,040
Speaker 3: or whatever, Junior June Bug, like you can't do that.

1045
00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,480
Speaker 3: Like they would be considered a negative towards a black

1046
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:39,480
Speaker 3: person and speaking to all of blackness. So I was like, uh,

1047
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,360
Speaker 3: that's what I feel in my opinion, that's what I

1048
00:50:42,400 --> 00:50:46,279
Speaker 3: would call like apologetic blackness. And to grow out of that,

1049
00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:50,680
Speaker 3: to not have to do that as a survival tactic

1050
00:50:50,840 --> 00:50:54,520
Speaker 3: or not is one. It's a privilege in a luxury

1051
00:50:54,800 --> 00:50:56,759
Speaker 3: right to have a position where you're like, I'm no

1052
00:50:56,920 --> 00:50:58,680
Speaker 3: longer worried about what y'all think about my hair.

1053
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:02,279
Speaker 2: That's a privilege in a luxury Oh yes it is.

1054
00:51:02,600 --> 00:51:07,480
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, go ahead. That's a topic all for me personally,

1055
00:51:07,760 --> 00:51:08,759
Speaker 4: all on its own.

1056
00:51:08,960 --> 00:51:12,040
Speaker 3: Like yeah, but it's but you know, there's certain jobs

1057
00:51:12,080 --> 00:51:13,640
Speaker 3: where people will be like, I don't care if you

1058
00:51:13,719 --> 00:51:15,919
Speaker 3: want to go natural, you need to put a wig

1059
00:51:16,040 --> 00:51:19,799
Speaker 3: on or straighten the shit out or whatever. So it's

1060
00:51:19,840 --> 00:51:22,719
Speaker 3: a privilege in a luxury when it shouldn't be. That's

1061
00:51:22,800 --> 00:51:24,160
Speaker 3: just saying how fucked up our society?

1062
00:51:24,160 --> 00:51:26,279
Speaker 4: Because it's just the way my fucking hair grows, right.

1063
00:51:26,360 --> 00:51:28,359
Speaker 3: Like, it's nothing like I'm not trying to do anything

1064
00:51:28,440 --> 00:51:30,520
Speaker 3: special spectacle. I'm just trying to grow my head out

1065
00:51:30,560 --> 00:51:32,560
Speaker 3: my hair with the least damage possible, and y'all are

1066
00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:34,520
Speaker 3: tripping on me, right.

1067
00:51:35,560 --> 00:51:40,480
Speaker 2: But it's also, you know, something where you get into

1068
00:51:40,480 --> 00:51:41,640
Speaker 2: certain fields and you can do that.

1069
00:51:41,760 --> 00:51:43,920
Speaker 3: And I don't judge anybody for not having the ability

1070
00:51:43,960 --> 00:51:45,680
Speaker 3: to do that because I've been on both sides. I've

1071
00:51:45,680 --> 00:51:48,279
Speaker 3: been in corporate America where I was like, I have

1072
00:51:48,480 --> 00:51:51,759
Speaker 3: to talk a different way, I have to interact a

1073
00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:53,800
Speaker 3: different way. I was I didn't want to talk to

1074
00:51:53,880 --> 00:51:56,320
Speaker 3: people I work with because I don't want to have

1075
00:51:56,480 --> 00:52:00,400
Speaker 3: this conversation about like a slang term are you or

1076
00:52:00,520 --> 00:52:02,960
Speaker 3: joke or reference I made like it's like I'd rather

1077
00:52:03,040 --> 00:52:06,240
Speaker 3: not even fucking talk to you, nop. So it's stuff

1078
00:52:06,320 --> 00:52:08,960
Speaker 3: like that that I feel like it, but it lends

1079
00:52:09,080 --> 00:52:12,319
Speaker 3: to that imposter syndrome like should I be here?

1080
00:52:12,840 --> 00:52:16,120
Speaker 2: Do I even belong in this corporation, in this culture?

1081
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:19,440
Speaker 3: Do I belong in the position that I have as

1082
00:52:19,480 --> 00:52:22,880
Speaker 3: a manager or whatever, like, how much of this, how

1083
00:52:22,960 --> 00:52:26,040
Speaker 3: much of that is attached to people of color feeling that,

1084
00:52:26,160 --> 00:52:28,160
Speaker 3: how much of that is attached to women feeling.

1085
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,520
Speaker 2: That, you know, when hey, you can come.

1086
00:52:30,600 --> 00:52:32,640
Speaker 3: I mean, how many women we see succeed and we

1087
00:52:32,719 --> 00:52:35,279
Speaker 3: see an interview with them and their example, like, oh,

1088
00:52:35,960 --> 00:52:38,600
Speaker 3: the CEO of Yahoo, she's such a great woman.

1089
00:52:38,680 --> 00:52:40,840
Speaker 2: It's such a great it. This means so much for women.

1090
00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:42,799
Speaker 3: And you see an interview with her and the first

1091
00:52:42,840 --> 00:52:45,080
Speaker 3: thing she said is like, women don't even turn to leave,

1092
00:52:45,719 --> 00:52:46,200
Speaker 3: and you're.

1093
00:52:46,120 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 2: Like, or excuse me, you know what I mean?

1094
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:51,680
Speaker 3: Like, because she had to fit into that culture, she's

1095
00:52:51,800 --> 00:52:55,759
Speaker 3: apologetically a woman in that moment. It's now a boys club.

1096
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:58,200
Speaker 3: It's now adopting all the things that men have told

1097
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:02,120
Speaker 3: her her in order to even select her as the

1098
00:53:02,280 --> 00:53:05,520
Speaker 3: woman they wanted to pick one that thought exactly how

1099
00:53:05,800 --> 00:53:08,040
Speaker 3: men think about women. So it's that kind of thing

1100
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:10,600
Speaker 3: where I think it lends itself to that imposter syndrome,

1101
00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:12,800
Speaker 3: because if you don't believe in those things and you

1102
00:53:12,880 --> 00:53:15,640
Speaker 3: don't say those things, or you or if you had

1103
00:53:15,719 --> 00:53:17,799
Speaker 3: to say those things to survive or to get along

1104
00:53:17,880 --> 00:53:20,600
Speaker 3: to you know, to get along at your company or

1105
00:53:20,640 --> 00:53:23,840
Speaker 3: whatever social situation, your friendships and stuff. I think it

1106
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:26,880
Speaker 3: does make us feel like imposters and undeservedly so, so

1107
00:53:27,160 --> 00:53:29,760
Speaker 3: I love to see people embracing that unapalogetic blackness.

1108
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:30,799
Speaker 2: I don't care how you got here.

1109
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:33,399
Speaker 4: I'm glad you're here, right, And I'm like you, I've

1110
00:53:33,400 --> 00:53:35,880
Speaker 4: never viewed it like that. Unapologetic to black means that

1111
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:38,440
Speaker 4: you're gonna have to deal with my blackness. Like I'm

1112
00:53:38,520 --> 00:53:42,600
Speaker 4: not apologizing for my fro, I'm not apologizing for my skin.

1113
00:53:42,880 --> 00:53:45,520
Speaker 4: I'm not apologizing for just fucking being here. I'm not

1114
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 4: apologizing for being a woman. I'm not apologizing by my presence.

1115
00:53:49,040 --> 00:53:52,480
Speaker 4: You're gonna deal with me as I am because a

1116
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:57,560
Speaker 4: lot of people I've realized this brown people's presence in

1117
00:53:57,640 --> 00:54:00,680
Speaker 4: the room causes everything to shift if it's the white room,

1118
00:54:01,040 --> 00:54:03,399
Speaker 4: like they've done studies and statistics to say, if it's

1119
00:54:03,440 --> 00:54:05,920
Speaker 4: a jury and it's one brown person, a lot of

1120
00:54:05,960 --> 00:54:09,120
Speaker 4: times it will shift how people vote. You know, all

1121
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:11,360
Speaker 4: you need is just one of us in there to

1122
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 4: actually make a change. It might be a small change,

1123
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:18,280
Speaker 4: but to make a change. And going back on corporate America,

1124
00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:22,120
Speaker 4: I completely understand the apostle syndrome with that because none

1125
00:54:22,160 --> 00:54:24,239
Speaker 4: of us was meant to be there, including white women.

1126
00:54:24,480 --> 00:54:27,080
Speaker 4: Nobody was supposed to be there. White women was there,

1127
00:54:27,160 --> 00:54:29,640
Speaker 4: but you're fucking secretaries and shit like that. You wouldn't

1128
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:32,080
Speaker 4: supposed to have no position and be a person in

1129
00:54:32,200 --> 00:54:34,919
Speaker 4: power and shit like that. It's always been the old

1130
00:54:34,960 --> 00:54:39,239
Speaker 4: white boys club, and it really truly still is. And

1131
00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:40,680
Speaker 4: it's one of those things where you go, well, I,

1132
00:54:40,960 --> 00:54:42,920
Speaker 4: especially if you know the history of corporate maybe go, oh,

1133
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,640
Speaker 4: I'm really not supposed to be here. So it's almost

1134
00:54:45,640 --> 00:54:47,759
Speaker 4: everything that's surprised that the door opens up and you

1135
00:54:47,880 --> 00:54:50,360
Speaker 4: go into the room, despite how qualified you are, despite

1136
00:54:50,400 --> 00:54:52,480
Speaker 4: how hard you work, despite how many degrees you have.

1137
00:54:53,040 --> 00:54:56,560
Speaker 4: It's something that's kind of, like I said, ingrained in us.

1138
00:54:56,760 --> 00:54:58,920
Speaker 4: And I've gotten to the point where I'm tired of it,

1139
00:54:59,040 --> 00:55:00,160
Speaker 4: Like I'm tired of of.

1140
00:55:01,640 --> 00:55:02,600
Speaker 2: Going the extra.

1141
00:55:02,360 --> 00:55:04,719
Speaker 4: Amount and going out of my way. When you know,

1142
00:55:04,840 --> 00:55:06,440
Speaker 4: when it comes to white people, they walk into a

1143
00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:08,840
Speaker 4: room and they don't give a fuck up. They underqualified,

1144
00:55:08,960 --> 00:55:11,200
Speaker 4: They gonna talk like they got the authority to tell

1145
00:55:11,239 --> 00:55:12,960
Speaker 4: your black ass what to do. And a lot of

1146
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:14,759
Speaker 4: times they do got the authority, even if they don't

1147
00:55:14,760 --> 00:55:16,359
Speaker 4: know what the fuck they doing. So it was one

1148
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 4: of those things where you know, that goes back to

1149
00:55:18,920 --> 00:55:21,480
Speaker 4: what I said before. We need to walk in what

1150
00:55:21,680 --> 00:55:25,319
Speaker 4: we have and know that I do deserve to be here.

1151
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:28,440
Speaker 4: And sometimes that's easier said than done. And I realize

1152
00:55:28,440 --> 00:55:31,320
Speaker 4: it takes a lot of self motivation because with the

1153
00:55:31,400 --> 00:55:33,839
Speaker 4: impostle syn Jones, sometimes you can't look at other people

1154
00:55:33,960 --> 00:55:36,280
Speaker 4: to motivate you. Sometimes you have to look within yourself

1155
00:55:36,320 --> 00:55:38,920
Speaker 4: and say, I deserve to be here, this is me,

1156
00:55:39,080 --> 00:55:42,200
Speaker 4: this is who I am. And once you've said it

1157
00:55:42,400 --> 00:55:45,560
Speaker 4: enough eventually, and it took me while you're beginning to

1158
00:55:45,600 --> 00:55:48,440
Speaker 4: believe that shit. And the thing is, there's nothing that

1159
00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:50,880
Speaker 4: scares a lot of white people more than a brown

1160
00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:54,120
Speaker 4: person that knows their worth, because once you know you're worth,

1161
00:55:55,200 --> 00:55:57,960
Speaker 4: you're scary. You're very scary because guess what, when they

1162
00:55:58,120 --> 00:56:00,600
Speaker 4: underpay you, you're gonna be like, nah, I'm motherfucker when they,

1163
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,759
Speaker 4: you know, try to do things that will normally make

1164
00:56:03,840 --> 00:56:05,880
Speaker 4: you back down, and you start speaking up and speaking

1165
00:56:05,960 --> 00:56:08,239
Speaker 4: out and start speaking on behalf of other people. A

1166
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:11,319
Speaker 4: lot of times, it's almost like that woke thing. Once

1167
00:56:11,400 --> 00:56:14,320
Speaker 4: you become woke, you can't unsee, you know, and so

1168
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:16,000
Speaker 4: once you get to the point where you begin to

1169
00:56:16,040 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 4: be like, nah, this ain't right, and that right, you

1170
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:20,640
Speaker 4: you kind of step into a room sometimes that everybody

1171
00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:22,359
Speaker 4: isn't ready for. So some people just go, I don't

1172
00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:25,160
Speaker 4: want to step there because somebody else. You people have

1173
00:56:25,280 --> 00:56:26,640
Speaker 4: seen other people do that. Next thing, you know that

1174
00:56:26,719 --> 00:56:28,920
Speaker 4: nigga get fired and you already got fired because he

1175
00:56:29,040 --> 00:56:32,120
Speaker 4: was speaking to these white folks like like otherwise, he

1176
00:56:32,239 --> 00:56:34,480
Speaker 4: was speaking to these white folks like white people do,

1177
00:56:34,719 --> 00:56:36,040
Speaker 4: and they wouldn't hear for the ship.

1178
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, and the way people react to fear from people

1179
00:56:40,440 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 3: that they feel are beneath them a marginalized and shit

1180
00:56:43,760 --> 00:56:46,960
Speaker 3: like you just never know because like you can lose

1181
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:48,160
Speaker 3: a gig over that ship.

1182
00:56:48,040 --> 00:56:49,840
Speaker 4: By rocking the boat. White folks get scared.

1183
00:56:49,920 --> 00:56:52,480
Speaker 3: So I understand why people don't, but I do embrace

1184
00:56:52,600 --> 00:56:55,200
Speaker 3: people that are able to you know, like it it's

1185
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:56,600
Speaker 3: not a dis to anybody.

1186
00:56:56,719 --> 00:57:00,000
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, it's avival tactic. So I completely understan.

1187
00:57:00,600 --> 00:57:04,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got some emails, kudos and other things. This

1188
00:57:04,640 --> 00:57:08,919
Speaker 3: is from Cis Doctor Kelly, who says, greetings Riding Karen.

1189
00:57:09,080 --> 00:57:10,040
Speaker 2: I'm new to the Black.

1190
00:57:09,880 --> 00:57:12,640
Speaker 3: Altips Nation and I truly enjoyed listening and playing along.

1191
00:57:13,080 --> 00:57:15,760
Speaker 3: My first episode was Karen's recap of her amazing retreat

1192
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:18,400
Speaker 3: with all those powerful cistern I was hooked then, and

1193
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:21,000
Speaker 3: then I found out that the show was all about

1194
00:57:21,040 --> 00:57:23,439
Speaker 3: and I've been intrigued. I especially love this too much,

1195
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:25,680
Speaker 3: and I have a separate email where I want to

1196
00:57:25,720 --> 00:57:28,760
Speaker 3: respond to that show. But first things first, I've decided

1197
00:57:28,800 --> 00:57:31,000
Speaker 3: to write today because of what you shared during the

1198
00:57:31,080 --> 00:57:31,800
Speaker 3: Panoid Podcon.

1199
00:57:31,960 --> 00:57:34,360
Speaker 2: You stated that when you know better, you do better.

1200
00:57:34,440 --> 00:57:37,200
Speaker 3: So I'm hoping that on behalf of African centered educators

1201
00:57:37,240 --> 00:57:39,360
Speaker 3: that strive to teach black and brown babies to embrace

1202
00:57:39,360 --> 00:57:42,080
Speaker 3: them body the best of African culture, that you would

1203
00:57:42,120 --> 00:57:46,040
Speaker 3: consider your use of the term hotep to signify misogynistic, oppressive,

1204
00:57:46,080 --> 00:57:46,960
Speaker 3: homophobic person.

1205
00:57:47,520 --> 00:57:49,840
Speaker 2: It is insulting at least and damaging at worse.

1206
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:52,960
Speaker 3: I work at an amazing institution that attempts to embody

1207
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:55,600
Speaker 3: in advance the best values of African culture, particularly as

1208
00:57:55,600 --> 00:57:59,439
Speaker 3: an inoculation against oppression both externalized and internalized.

1209
00:57:59,640 --> 00:58:00,800
Speaker 2: For some African center.

1210
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:05,760
Speaker 3: People, that has involved his homophobia misogyny, which I unequivocally opposed,

1211
00:58:05,840 --> 00:58:07,160
Speaker 3: but for most of us, it does not.

1212
00:58:07,680 --> 00:58:08,800
Speaker 2: We are a freedom school.

1213
00:58:08,920 --> 00:58:10,960
Speaker 3: We are against depression in all its forms. We have

1214
00:58:11,240 --> 00:58:15,400
Speaker 3: esteem members of our faculty and scholar family that are

1215
00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:18,560
Speaker 3: members of the LGBTQ community. Our served as our first

1216
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:21,560
Speaker 3: faculty as our first faculty advisor for our Gay Straight Alliance.

1217
00:58:22,040 --> 00:58:24,320
Speaker 3: A writer that I respect made the argument for abandoning

1218
00:58:24,320 --> 00:58:26,720
Speaker 3: the disuse of hotep as a slur far more eloquently

1219
00:58:26,800 --> 00:58:30,680
Speaker 3: than I could in her post one BlackGirl Nerds last year. Yeah,

1220
00:58:30,720 --> 00:58:33,840
Speaker 3: I read that last year. A community does not deserve

1221
00:58:33,880 --> 00:58:36,040
Speaker 3: to be defined by its hypocrites. If you wouldn't call

1222
00:58:36,080 --> 00:58:40,560
Speaker 3: a hypocrite Jew a shalam or a critical hypocritical Christian

1223
00:58:40,600 --> 00:58:44,440
Speaker 3: a Hallelujah in a derogatory way, please consider a different

1224
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:47,600
Speaker 3: term for hypocritical African center folks. I know we don't

1225
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:50,240
Speaker 3: enjoy the privilege of being established religious orders, but our

1226
00:58:50,280 --> 00:58:53,760
Speaker 3: mission is attempting to counteract the negative effects of oppression,

1227
00:58:53,880 --> 00:58:56,280
Speaker 3: and I would hope that would that would count for

1228
00:58:56,360 --> 00:58:59,720
Speaker 3: something I wish continue successful. Your podcast, your family are

1229
00:58:59,720 --> 00:59:02,000
Speaker 3: your endeavors. I'm just hopeful that supporting you does not

1230
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,960
Speaker 3: cost us African centered folks that genuine love all our folks, peace,

1231
00:59:06,400 --> 00:59:10,560
Speaker 3: says Doctor Kelly. Full disclosure, this writer, our respect happens

1232
00:59:10,600 --> 00:59:12,320
Speaker 3: to be my sister. She's still smart and great.

1233
00:59:12,400 --> 00:59:12,520
Speaker 2: Though.

1234
00:59:14,560 --> 00:59:16,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm not gonna stop saying it, but and I've

1235
00:59:16,800 --> 00:59:17,520
Speaker 3: considered as before.

1236
00:59:17,560 --> 00:59:18,880
Speaker 2: We've actually had episodes on it.

1237
00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,840
Speaker 3: I think Mark with my Heel at one point talked

1238
00:59:21,840 --> 00:59:25,520
Speaker 3: about not wanting people to use it that way. This

1239
00:59:25,760 --> 00:59:27,480
Speaker 3: article on Black Girl Nerves that I read.

1240
00:59:27,400 --> 00:59:28,040
Speaker 2: Talked about it.

1241
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,479
Speaker 3: The problem I have with it is that these people

1242
00:59:32,640 --> 00:59:37,120
Speaker 3: are winning the pr war, and whatever battle is gonna

1243
00:59:37,120 --> 00:59:39,480
Speaker 3: take place within the hotel community, which I'm not a

1244
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:43,480
Speaker 3: part of, it needs to happen asap. And I need

1245
00:59:43,600 --> 00:59:46,440
Speaker 3: to see people that claim to be hotels speaking out

1246
00:59:46,560 --> 00:59:49,880
Speaker 3: against these motherfuckers, because if not, you're asking me to

1247
00:59:49,960 --> 00:59:51,680
Speaker 3: kind of do the work for you, and I'm not gonna.

1248
00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:54,360
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna deny what is the reality of what's

1249
00:59:54,400 --> 00:59:57,680
Speaker 3: happening to me. This the same way that when I

1250
00:59:57,760 --> 01:00:02,600
Speaker 3: talk about hypocritical Christians, I don't another like word for them.

1251
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:03,480
Speaker 2: They are Christians.

1252
01:00:04,480 --> 01:00:07,120
Speaker 3: Like if they call themselves hallelujahs, I'd be calling they

1253
01:00:07,120 --> 01:00:08,120
Speaker 3: ass hallelujahs too.

1254
01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:11,040
Speaker 2: If they said I want to separate myself from.

1255
01:00:10,920 --> 01:00:14,520
Speaker 3: The daspora of whatever Christianity is and call myself a

1256
01:00:14,600 --> 01:00:20,440
Speaker 3: hallelujah and I'm a make homophobic, bigoted, misogynistic videos.

1257
01:00:20,520 --> 01:00:24,920
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make money from the community. I'm gonna steal money.

1258
01:00:24,720 --> 01:00:26,360
Speaker 3: To build a school, and shit, i'd be sitting up

1259
01:00:26,360 --> 01:00:27,920
Speaker 3: here calling them hallelujahs a custom.

1260
01:00:27,920 --> 01:00:30,800
Speaker 2: They Christian ass out the same way.

1261
01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:32,840
Speaker 3: But right now what I call them is just Christians

1262
01:00:32,880 --> 01:00:36,960
Speaker 3: because they that's what they are, you know, so and

1263
01:00:37,080 --> 01:00:38,640
Speaker 3: that's and like I said, those are the words they

1264
01:00:38,720 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 3: use for themselves hashtag not all Christians, but.

1265
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:45,160
Speaker 2: Those are the ones I'm speaking about. You know, the

1266
01:00:45,240 --> 01:00:46,400
Speaker 2: show is a context.

1267
01:00:46,760 --> 01:00:50,440
Speaker 3: So we play articles, we talk about videos, we talk

1268
01:00:50,480 --> 01:00:51,320
Speaker 3: about certain people.

1269
01:00:52,240 --> 01:00:53,120
Speaker 2: That's the context.

1270
01:00:53,680 --> 01:00:56,640
Speaker 3: So if you're not one of those people, but you

1271
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:00,120
Speaker 3: want to claim to fill some kinship with them and

1272
01:01:00,480 --> 01:01:03,880
Speaker 3: use the same words as them, that's about y'all gonna

1273
01:01:03,880 --> 01:01:04,720
Speaker 3: have to fight internally.

1274
01:01:05,640 --> 01:01:05,840
Speaker 6: You know.

1275
01:01:06,040 --> 01:01:08,040
Speaker 2: It's the same way. I'm a black man, but when

1276
01:01:08,040 --> 01:01:08,800
Speaker 2: I say black.

1277
01:01:08,680 --> 01:01:11,400
Speaker 3: Men or theists that black men, or the white people

1278
01:01:11,440 --> 01:01:13,600
Speaker 3: or black people, I don't turn around and go, well

1279
01:01:13,800 --> 01:01:17,000
Speaker 3: not me, guys, because I mean, listen, no, I look

1280
01:01:17,040 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 3: at I understand that the brand TM has some issues,

1281
01:01:21,360 --> 01:01:23,760
Speaker 3: you know, and that if we don't challenge it from within,

1282
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:26,840
Speaker 3: then I'm just as guilty if I can't put it

1283
01:01:26,920 --> 01:01:31,439
Speaker 3: this way in my opinion, if I came to say

1284
01:01:31,440 --> 01:01:34,960
Speaker 3: a black woman as being like, look, there's some issues

1285
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:37,880
Speaker 3: with domestic violence intra community, in the black community, and

1286
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:40,440
Speaker 3: I think black men need to be a voice to

1287
01:01:40,600 --> 01:01:42,840
Speaker 3: stop that and we need to step up. If my

1288
01:01:43,000 --> 01:01:45,280
Speaker 3: first thing to say to her was basically not all

1289
01:01:45,360 --> 01:01:47,720
Speaker 3: black men or well, assist, I'm a.

1290
01:01:47,720 --> 01:01:48,360
Speaker 2: Good black man.

1291
01:01:48,400 --> 01:01:50,800
Speaker 3: I've never heard a black woman. I don't see why

1292
01:01:50,840 --> 01:01:53,560
Speaker 3: you gotta even why can't you use another word? Why

1293
01:01:53,600 --> 01:01:56,600
Speaker 3: can't you I feel like that's all distraction from the

1294
01:01:56,680 --> 01:01:59,160
Speaker 3: point that she's making, you know what I mean, Like

1295
01:01:59,360 --> 01:02:02,280
Speaker 3: the point, the bigger point is this stuff is happening

1296
01:02:02,320 --> 01:02:03,600
Speaker 3: and someone needs speak out against it.

1297
01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:09,440
Speaker 2: So that's my reasoning on it. I didn't grow up,

1298
01:02:09,600 --> 01:02:10,760
Speaker 2: you know, I'm not from Africa.

1299
01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:15,440
Speaker 3: I didn't grow up with hotel as a uh positive affirmation.

1300
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,800
Speaker 3: I don't know how that did, how people deal with

1301
01:02:18,920 --> 01:02:21,920
Speaker 3: that over there. So I don't want to speak for

1302
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:25,560
Speaker 3: that community. I can only speak for you know what

1303
01:02:25,720 --> 01:02:28,200
Speaker 3: I've seen. I would call the al right people all right,

1304
01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:31,720
Speaker 3: I would call them neo Nazi people, neo Nazis that's

1305
01:02:31,760 --> 01:02:34,520
Speaker 3: what they call themselves, you know, I don't, you know,

1306
01:02:35,120 --> 01:02:38,240
Speaker 3: like I don't really do them the favor of making

1307
01:02:38,320 --> 01:02:39,680
Speaker 3: some extra distinction.

1308
01:02:41,240 --> 01:02:43,960
Speaker 2: Too, as if, you know, as if they don't account

1309
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:53,240
Speaker 2: for the vast, vocal, uh loud representation of what that is.

1310
01:02:53,360 --> 01:02:57,400
Speaker 3: So I think if you put on Google or if

1311
01:02:57,440 --> 01:03:01,960
Speaker 3: you uh put in YouTube hotel, you're gonna get back that.

1312
01:03:02,720 --> 01:03:05,760
Speaker 3: And until there's some pushback from other people who claim

1313
01:03:05,840 --> 01:03:10,840
Speaker 3: to be hotels but claim to be positive LGBTQ inclusive people,

1314
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:14,920
Speaker 3: then I'm not doing the work for that group of people,

1315
01:03:15,320 --> 01:03:17,040
Speaker 3: Like they're gonna have to find a way to get

1316
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:18,680
Speaker 3: out there and fight that message.

1317
01:03:20,520 --> 01:03:24,120
Speaker 2: Caring, did you know? All right? But uh yeah, I.

1318
01:03:24,160 --> 01:03:25,920
Speaker 3: Mean, like I said, I understand you can't listen to

1319
01:03:25,960 --> 01:03:28,640
Speaker 3: the show. I understand that bothers you, you know, totally,

1320
01:03:28,680 --> 01:03:31,880
Speaker 3: You're right to feel bothered by that. But I'm more

1321
01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:36,520
Speaker 3: bothered by doctor Umar Johnson taking money from our community

1322
01:03:37,160 --> 01:03:41,280
Speaker 3: as black people and not building the school, correct, but

1323
01:03:41,440 --> 01:03:43,560
Speaker 3: a school that he would have used to teach homophobia

1324
01:03:43,640 --> 01:03:46,320
Speaker 3: and bigotry in the name of being a hotel. And

1325
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:49,640
Speaker 3: I don't see what anybody's doing to stop that, you know,

1326
01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:53,880
Speaker 3: like even just educating the youth under the under that

1327
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:57,000
Speaker 3: isn't stopping him from educating the youth what he's doing,

1328
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,800
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like, where's the counter action

1329
01:04:00,080 --> 01:04:04,000
Speaker 3: for this? Where's that accountability? If there's a community, why

1330
01:04:04,080 --> 01:04:05,280
Speaker 3: hasn't this community.

1331
01:04:04,920 --> 01:04:08,320
Speaker 2: Shut him down? You know, if that if if y'all,

1332
01:04:08,920 --> 01:04:09,160
Speaker 2: if the.

1333
01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:13,040
Speaker 3: Other people of that of that community that call themselves

1334
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:18,280
Speaker 3: hoteps are this silent majority, why haven't they shut him down?

1335
01:04:19,160 --> 01:04:21,600
Speaker 3: Why is he still allowed to be a representative. And

1336
01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:23,840
Speaker 3: it's not just him, it's many people. You know, they

1337
01:04:23,920 --> 01:04:26,560
Speaker 3: have a hotep wars on Twitter right now, Yes they are,

1338
01:04:27,000 --> 01:04:30,200
Speaker 3: But you know, I just want to know, like where

1339
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:32,360
Speaker 3: are those people that Where are those people to shut

1340
01:04:32,440 --> 01:04:35,680
Speaker 3: down that dude telling people not that, not that women

1341
01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:37,920
Speaker 3: shouldn't men straight and shit like that. Where the like,

1342
01:04:38,080 --> 01:04:40,920
Speaker 3: where is the counter message from within the community to

1343
01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:45,320
Speaker 3: shut that down? Because as a right now, I like,

1344
01:04:45,520 --> 01:04:46,960
Speaker 3: like I said, if you ask most people what a

1345
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:48,560
Speaker 3: hotep is, it ain't gonna be good.

1346
01:04:49,440 --> 01:04:52,520
Speaker 2: And that ain't my fault like that that that started

1347
01:04:52,600 --> 01:04:53,320
Speaker 2: long before us.

1348
01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:56,520
Speaker 3: And the same way I call black israel Lights black

1349
01:04:56,680 --> 01:05:01,120
Speaker 3: Israelites because that's what they call themselves, fibers fiber centers,

1350
01:05:01,160 --> 01:05:02,000
Speaker 3: because that's what they call.

1351
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,080
Speaker 2: Themselves like that. This is the same thing to.

1352
01:05:05,120 --> 01:05:09,240
Speaker 3: Me, So I don't see it as calling Christians a

1353
01:05:09,360 --> 01:05:11,800
Speaker 3: word that they don't use. No, you use this word,

1354
01:05:12,480 --> 01:05:14,600
Speaker 3: you call yourself that. So I feel like that analogy

1355
01:05:14,680 --> 01:05:15,200
Speaker 3: is a bit off.

1356
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:20,960
Speaker 2: But thank you for right now. Sisters. Let's see what

1357

1361
01:05:32,760 --> 01:05:35,160
Speaker 3: theme of the episode that both of you were being

1362
01:05:35,200 --> 01:05:38,000
Speaker 3: so vulnerable would create such a powerful episode. I was

1363
01:05:38,040 --> 01:05:39,880
Speaker 3: taught that people are only on loan to us, so

1364
01:05:39,960 --> 01:05:42,080
Speaker 3: yesterday I found myself pausing during the live show to

1365
01:05:42,160 --> 01:05:44,520

1366
01:05:44,640 --> 01:05:46,080

1367
01:05:46,160 --> 01:05:48,440
Speaker 3: access to you. I also wanted to send a note

Speaker 3: him in Miami, Yes we did. Said sorry for the

1407
01:07:45,880 --> 01:07:48,240
Speaker 3: long email, but let me start off by saying, I'm

1408
01:07:48,240 --> 01:07:50,040
Speaker 3: extremely proud of honor to have met you both in

1409
01:07:50,120 --> 01:07:51,200
Speaker 3: Miami for Revoke Con.

1410
01:07:51,360 --> 01:07:52,920
Speaker 2: That was a night I won't forget it.

1411
01:07:53,040 --> 01:07:55,160
Speaker 3: Little firing me that led me through a painful but

1412
01:07:55,320 --> 01:07:58,040
Speaker 3: very necessary path of sobriety and understanding who I am,

1413
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:00,320
Speaker 3: my place on this earth, and how I fail those

1414
01:08:00,360 --> 01:08:00,800
Speaker 3: around me.

1415
01:08:01,480 --> 01:08:03,160
Speaker 2: Rod. On this episode, I felt as if you were

1416
01:08:03,200 --> 01:08:03,560
Speaker 2: in my head.

1417
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:05,920
Speaker 3: You choked up and mentioned you eventually learned the countless

1418
01:08:05,960 --> 01:08:08,680
Speaker 3: times got in your own way. I felt the similar

1419
01:08:08,880 --> 01:08:11,480
Speaker 3: the times glass of beer take the edge off a

1420
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,520
Speaker 3: long day turned into a year of alcohol abuse. The

1421
01:08:14,600 --> 01:08:17,120
Speaker 3: tears are flowing as I realized I'd been keeping myself

1422
01:08:17,120 --> 01:08:19,640
Speaker 3: from becoming something greater. Even with all the artwork I

1423
01:08:19,720 --> 01:08:21,960
Speaker 3: did for Phenom and negro Khn, I took all that

1424
01:08:22,040 --> 01:08:25,360
Speaker 3: for granted. As we enter twenty eighteen, I guarantee you,

1425
01:08:25,560 --> 01:08:28,040
Speaker 3: and most importantly, myself, a year of clean living and

1426
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:28,759
Speaker 3: clear thoughts.

1427
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:29,400
Speaker 2: Go ahead.

1428
01:08:29,840 --> 01:08:31,639
Speaker 3: Thank you for letting me into your world, to showing

1429
01:08:31,680 --> 01:08:34,040
Speaker 3: me how to be a better person whenever in doubt,

1430
01:08:34,280 --> 01:08:36,160
Speaker 3: Know you matter, Know you made a difference in my

1431
01:08:36,240 --> 01:08:38,920
Speaker 3: life by being you. Let me wipe these tears away

1432
01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:40,840
Speaker 3: and put my big boy pants on to make twenty

1433
01:08:40,880 --> 01:08:42,519

01:09:34,520 --> 01:09:36,519
Speaker 3: not knowing if you did change the numbers we did.

Speaker 4: I don't know that that the hunted the guy from

1460
01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:40,360
Speaker 4: that white woman. Just do whatever they want to because

1461
01:09:40,360 --> 01:09:43,120

Speaker 4: so that dad is the number.

1464
01:09:48,479 --> 01:09:48,839
Speaker 2: Anyway.

1465
01:09:48,920 --> 01:09:50,639
Speaker 3: The reason I was trying to cause because I'm listening

1466
01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:53,120
Speaker 3: to the This is Us episode aka the one ride

1467
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:55,200
Speaker 3: made everybody cry. While listening, I'm at a point where

1468
01:09:55,240 --> 01:09:57,639
Speaker 3: Karen and Sharon random FOUGHTX. The thing she is saying

1469
01:09:57,840 --> 01:09:59,760
Speaker 3: here really resonate with me right now, is y'all know

1470
01:09:59,840 --> 01:10:02,160
Speaker 3: I injured my knee and had surgery this year. The

1471
01:10:02,240 --> 01:10:04,439
Speaker 3: short and sweet version of what happened is was I

1472
01:10:04,520 --> 01:10:07,000
Speaker 3: closed on my new house September fifteenth. The next day,

1473
01:10:07,040 --> 01:10:08,759
Speaker 3: while I started to move out of my old apartment,

1474
01:10:08,760 --> 01:10:10,800
Speaker 3: I slipped down the stairs by carrying the box and

1475
01:10:10,880 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 3: toil the putell a tendon in my right knee. That's

1476
01:10:14,160 --> 01:10:16,559
Speaker 3: the tending that holds up a teller kneecap in place

1477
01:10:16,600 --> 01:10:17,960
Speaker 3: and allows you to be in a straighten your leg.

1478
01:10:18,320 --> 01:10:20,200
Speaker 2: So, as Karen said, this year has been the best

1479
01:10:20,240 --> 01:10:22,080
Speaker 2: and worst all in one. Lol.

1480
01:10:22,200 --> 01:10:25,800
Speaker 3: The fact that those two things happened to me in

1481
01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:28,080
Speaker 3: consecutive days is a prime example of twenty seventeen. It

1482
01:10:28,080 --> 01:10:30,000
Speaker 3: has been for most of us, or for many of

1483
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,240
Speaker 3: us anyway. Just wanted to say that one of the

1484
01:10:32,320 --> 01:10:35,000
Speaker 3: many things I learned on this journey of rehabbing my knee.

1485
01:10:35,040 --> 01:10:37,800
Speaker 3: I'm now in week thirteen post surgery. Is something Karen

1486
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:39,800
Speaker 3: said and her random thought, you have to take time

1487
01:10:39,840 --> 01:10:42,320
Speaker 3: to appreciate the things you have accomplished. We usually set

1488
01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:44,439
Speaker 3: big goals for ourselves and many times we don't have

1489
01:10:44,640 --> 01:10:46,439
Speaker 3: We don't take time to give ourselves credit for.

1490
01:10:46,439 --> 01:10:48,240
Speaker 2: Some of the smaller steps it takes to reach the

1491
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:48,840
Speaker 2: finish line.

1492
01:10:49,240 --> 01:10:51,479
Speaker 3: I know for myself there were times when things that

1493
01:10:51,600 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 3: don't really seem like a big deal with two healthy

1494
01:10:54,040 --> 01:10:56,040
Speaker 3: legs fell huge. Stuff like being there, put weight on

1495
01:10:56,120 --> 01:10:58,639
Speaker 3: my leg, bended a bit, getting in the showers, Nigga.

1496
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:00,960
Speaker 3: I cried in the shower my first time in that

1497
01:11:01,080 --> 01:11:02,840
Speaker 3: after surgery. It felt so good to be in there,

1498
01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:05,960
Speaker 3: and I had to take a whole bath to wash ups.

1499
01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:07,000
Speaker 2: You taking them?

1500
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,360
Speaker 3: Wash ups are nothing works than that wash up. Man,

1501
01:11:09,400 --> 01:11:11,519
Speaker 3: You can never feel I never feel clean out though wash.

1502
01:11:11,479 --> 01:11:14,040
Speaker 4: Up ever, because you don't want to get your brace wet.

1503
01:11:14,320 --> 01:11:16,760
Speaker 2: I know, but it's still don't You don't never feel right.

1504
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:17,640
Speaker 2: I don't never feel it.

1505
01:11:17,720 --> 01:11:20,160
Speaker 3: Don't matter how much solvertile I put on, not in

1506
01:11:20,200 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 3: the sink, sink bath, don't never feel right.

1507
01:11:22,960 --> 01:11:25,040
Speaker 2: So the caring uh to Care's point.

1508
01:11:25,080 --> 01:11:28,080
Speaker 3: I definitely encourage everyone out there to keep on pushing

1509
01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:30,360
Speaker 3: and to keep on working on to accomplish what they

1510
01:11:30,360 --> 01:11:31,920
Speaker 3: want to achieve in life. But at the same time,

1511
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:33,800
Speaker 3: make sure you take some time every now and then

1512
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:36,360
Speaker 3: to appreciate what you have accomplished so far and to

1513
01:11:36,479 --> 01:11:38,920
Speaker 3: use that as fuel to keep grinding. I'm out for now,

1514

Speaker 3: comes to a black man not perpetrating any form of

1521
01:11:59,600 --> 01:12:02,160
Speaker 3: sexual or have a respect for all black women.

1522
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:04,960
Speaker 2: I'm saying I should get in the war for this.

1523
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:09,080
Speaker 4: Okay, I have met I just ate your last cookie,

1524

01:12:19,320 --> 01:12:23,040
Speaker 3: women by the way, okay, didn't even men and none

1530
01:12:23,120 --> 01:12:23,800
Speaker 3: binary folks.

1531
01:12:24,280 --> 01:12:27,120
Speaker 2: You know, I met all the spectrums of the rainbow

1532
01:12:27,160 --> 01:12:30,320
Speaker 2: this year. Not one crotch was grabbed. I'm just saying

1533
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,840
Speaker 2: I feel like I have a very small club of

1534
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:39,640
Speaker 2: people that I want Uncle of the Year, and I

1535
01:12:39,720 --> 01:12:41,800
Speaker 2: feel like you did win Uncle of the Year.

1536
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:45,679
Speaker 3: This should all go on my resume, and I should

1537
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:48,240
Speaker 3: definitely get some sort of plaque or metal or something

1538
01:12:48,320 --> 01:12:51,840
Speaker 3: because the newspaper right up, looking at this, looking at

1539
01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:55,560
Speaker 3: the news, looking at the news, there's a lot of

1540
01:12:55,640 --> 01:12:58,200
Speaker 3: pictures of people not smiling and black and white come on,

1541
01:12:58,680 --> 01:13:01,360
Speaker 3: grabbed up on somebody, and I think I think I

1542
01:13:01,479 --> 01:13:04,880
Speaker 3: do deserve something. Okay, Uh, niggas like us don't get

1543

1545
01:13:07,680 --> 01:13:08,040

01:14:24,439 --> 01:14:27,240
Speaker 3: I mean, well, if we're counting that, then I'm about

1572
01:14:27,240 --> 01:14:29,880
Speaker 3: the club too. Now are we counting that? I feel

1573
01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:32,759
Speaker 3: like that don't count that. There's like a consensual agreement

1574
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:34,880
Speaker 3: it was in the marriage vows.

1575
01:14:35,560 --> 01:14:36,080

01:15:13,760 --> 01:15:15,599
Speaker 2: Mm hmm on giving up.

1593
01:15:15,640 --> 01:15:19,040
Speaker 3: In twenty eighteen, It's Our Girl, Katrina, Dear Karen and Rod.

1594
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:20,920
Speaker 3: I was whipping up a batch of detanged a little

1595
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:24,080
Speaker 3: whilst listening to episode fifteen eighty five Thankful for twenty eighteen.

1596
01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:27,080
Speaker 3: Y'all literally stopped me in my tracks because I had

1597
01:15:27,160 --> 01:15:30,000
Speaker 3: set the recipe aside and run upstairs to my laptop.

1598
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:31,439
Speaker 2: I'm so so serious.

1599
01:15:32,439 --> 01:15:36,000
Speaker 3: Karen had already got me emotion with talking about imposter

1600
01:15:36,080 --> 01:15:37,960
Speaker 3: Syndron because it made me think about being at a

1601
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:40,320
Speaker 3: PWI college in the grad school and the number of

1602
01:15:40,360 --> 01:15:43,240
Speaker 3: times I tell myself that my professors were idiots because

1603
01:15:43,240 --> 01:15:44,880
Speaker 3: I had food them in the thinking I was smart

1604
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:48,040
Speaker 3: that they couldn't see through my act, my magic tricks.

1605
01:15:48,080 --> 01:15:51,280
Speaker 3: I've gotten much better about embracing the peculiarities of.

1606
01:15:51,320 --> 01:15:53,400
Speaker 2: My own mind. But I'd be lying if I said

1607
01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:53,840
Speaker 2: I didn't.

1608
01:15:54,560 --> 01:15:56,880
Speaker 3: But when Rod allowed himself to be emotional, I fucking

1609
01:15:56,920 --> 01:15:59,639
Speaker 3: lost it and began crying too. I felt so connected

1610
01:15:59,640 --> 01:16:01,960
Speaker 3: to some of the realizations you've come to because I've

1611
01:16:01,960 --> 01:16:03,840
Speaker 3: been on a similar journey over the last couple of years.

1612
01:16:03,920 --> 01:16:04,080
Speaker 4: Rod.

1613
01:16:04,120 --> 01:16:07,680
Speaker 3: I especially felt connected to the poignancy of learning that

1614
01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:10,200
Speaker 3: giving up is in weakness but a necessary part of

1615
01:16:10,240 --> 01:16:12,840
Speaker 3: being human. I read a book a few years ago

1616
01:16:13,080 --> 01:16:15,720
Speaker 3: that helped me think of giving up in a powerful way.

1617
01:16:15,760 --> 01:16:18,880
Speaker 3: The book changed my life, inspired my PhD dissertation, and

1618
01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:22,040
Speaker 3: helped me see that my blackness wasn't incorrect after all,

1619
01:16:22,400 --> 01:16:24,719
Speaker 3: and I began thinking of blackness as a queer construct

1620
01:16:24,760 --> 01:16:27,840
Speaker 3: the thing with our boundaries. I evangelize this book every

1621
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:30,880
Speaker 3: chance I get. It's called The Sovereignty of Quiet Beyond

1622
01:16:30,920 --> 01:16:34,320
Speaker 3: Resistance in Black Culture by Kevin Quwashi.

1623
01:16:34,880 --> 01:16:36,080
Speaker 2: The whole idea here.

1624
01:16:36,160 --> 01:16:38,519
Speaker 3: Is that there's so much more to us than ability

1625
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:42,160
Speaker 3: to resist against white supremacy. Over saying this abuses that

1626
01:16:42,360 --> 01:16:45,880
Speaker 3: happens when we look at ourselves from inside out as

1627
01:16:45,960 --> 01:16:48,759
Speaker 3: subjects and not objects of white supremacy, and the central

1628
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:50,840
Speaker 3: theme of the book, Quashi refers to giving up as

1629
01:16:50,880 --> 01:16:54,040
Speaker 3: a surrender. To surrender requires a conscious act and faith

1630
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:57,960
Speaker 3: in your own human capacity. Whenever we surrender to something,

1631
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:01,400
Speaker 3: we are allowing ourselves to embrace something else. To me,

1632
01:17:01,600 --> 01:17:04,360
Speaker 3: this is the best kind of thing, Coach, This is

1633
01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:06,240
Speaker 3: the kind of thing Coach gets that it was getting

1634
01:17:06,240 --> 01:17:08,000
Speaker 3: that when he divests from the fantasy of slam the

1635
01:17:08,040 --> 01:17:09,080
Speaker 3: white supremacy dragon.

1636
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:12,280
Speaker 2: There's nothing weak about that. It's called life. Strength doesn't

1637
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:15,040
Speaker 2: mean strength, doesn't mean shit.

1638
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:17,920
Speaker 3: If we don't have frailty to reject the latter and

1639
01:17:18,000 --> 01:17:20,360
Speaker 3: only validate the formansts straight up to humanizing.

1640
01:17:21,280 --> 01:17:23,680
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, I do agree with that, especially like some

1641
01:17:23,800 --> 01:17:24,559
Speaker 2: of the stuff that we.

1642
01:17:26,280 --> 01:17:30,080
Speaker 3: We had to mythologize and lionize ourselves to a certain

1643
01:17:30,160 --> 01:17:33,920
Speaker 3: extent to survive, you know, and pass that down to

1644
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:36,920
Speaker 3: our kids. Like, but some of this shit is not

1645
01:17:37,040 --> 01:17:38,880
Speaker 3: gonna save us, and it's not gonna protect us.

1646
01:17:39,479 --> 01:17:39,640
Speaker 4: You know.

1647
01:17:40,040 --> 01:17:42,200
Speaker 3: You can go out and be like a raging fire

1648
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:44,160
Speaker 3: if you want. I mean, that's a choice to make.

1649
01:17:44,240 --> 01:17:46,760
Speaker 3: There's nothing wrong with that, But there's also no choice.

1650
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,840
Speaker 3: There's also nothing wrong with the choice of understanding like

1651
01:17:50,880 --> 01:17:54,040
Speaker 3: I'm not My goal on this earth is not to

1652
01:17:54,200 --> 01:17:54,880
Speaker 3: beat the.

1653
01:17:55,439 --> 01:17:59,519
Speaker 2: White supremacy out of America or to come up with

1654
01:17:59,600 --> 01:18:02,200
Speaker 2: some I like. We all are part of this.

1655
01:18:04,439 --> 01:18:07,040
Speaker 3: We're all part of this group, right, but we're not

1656
01:18:07,280 --> 01:18:11,400
Speaker 3: all playing the same roles, playing the same game. And ultimately,

1657
01:18:11,760 --> 01:18:14,160
Speaker 3: we ain't really got the numbers. You know, we got

1658
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:16,439
Speaker 3: enough to make a stir, but we don't have enough

1659
01:18:16,640 --> 01:18:21,439
Speaker 3: to truly. We don't have enough to say we're in control,

1660
01:18:21,560 --> 01:18:23,479
Speaker 3: so we're just gonna go flip the switch. We have

1661
01:18:23,680 --> 01:18:26,400
Speaker 3: enough to make a spectacle, we have enough to protest,

1662
01:18:26,479 --> 01:18:29,679
Speaker 3: we have enough to cog up the machine and whatnot.

1663
01:18:29,880 --> 01:18:32,840
Speaker 3: But it's not There's nothing wrong with you as a

1664
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:35,760
Speaker 3: black person for being like I don't see this as

1665
01:18:36,960 --> 01:18:39,799
Speaker 3: speaking truth to power. I don't have to be a prophet.

1666
01:18:39,920 --> 01:18:40,920
Speaker 2: I don't have and I don't.

1667
01:18:41,200 --> 01:18:44,320
Speaker 3: That doesn't mean I have to knock people who are right,

1668
01:18:44,479 --> 01:18:46,680
Speaker 3: But I don't have to be that. You know, I'm

1669
01:18:46,720 --> 01:18:48,880
Speaker 3: not like like I said, I wanted to get to

1670
01:18:48,960 --> 01:18:55,400
Speaker 3: a place where I can love people despite love taking

1671
01:18:55,439 --> 01:18:57,759
Speaker 3: different forms because it ain't the same for everybody.

1672
01:18:57,840 --> 01:18:58,200
Speaker 4: No, it's not.

1673
01:18:58,600 --> 01:19:03,160
Speaker 3: You know, some people are really hell bent on you know,

1674
01:19:03,720 --> 01:19:05,880
Speaker 3: education and academy is gonna save us. Some people are

1675
01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:11,000
Speaker 3: hell bent on uh, I don't know, like uh, you know,

1676
01:19:11,960 --> 01:19:14,920
Speaker 3: activism is gonna save us, or some people help it.

1677
01:19:15,040 --> 01:19:17,320
Speaker 3: The government is gonna make laws and that's gonna save us.

1678
01:19:17,960 --> 01:19:21,280
Speaker 3: And I can love all of them in different ways

1679
01:19:21,400 --> 01:19:23,760
Speaker 3: and respect all of their opinions and not try to

1680
01:19:23,880 --> 01:19:26,880
Speaker 3: like gum up what they're doing or tell them why

1681
01:19:26,880 --> 01:19:28,160
Speaker 3: they're wrong, or tell them.

1682
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:29,720
Speaker 2: Why I ain't gonna work. I can do all that

1683
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:33,360
Speaker 2: shit and still be like that that path isn't for me.

1684
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:37,320
Speaker 3: And I think there's this pressure within our community to

1685
01:19:37,400 --> 01:19:39,880
Speaker 3: try to make everybody walk the same path all the

1686
01:19:39,960 --> 01:19:43,080
Speaker 3: fucking time, and I think it causes more harm than

1687
01:19:43,160 --> 01:19:47,040
Speaker 3: good sometimes because we don't see each other as actual

1688
01:19:47,120 --> 01:19:50,599
Speaker 3: human beings that aren't a set of just a set

1689
01:19:50,640 --> 01:19:54,559
Speaker 3: of principles or a set of like causes and check

1690
01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:57,360
Speaker 3: marks to check off, Like we're not that. And if

1691
01:19:57,400 --> 01:20:03,240
Speaker 3: we can't, if the if the solution to destroying white

1692
01:20:03,280 --> 01:20:05,640
Speaker 3: supremacy is to put niggas in a box and make

1693
01:20:05,720 --> 01:20:08,080
Speaker 3: us all act the same way, I'm not with that shit.

1694
01:20:08,160 --> 01:20:11,280
Speaker 3: Either you know, so so I have to you know,

1695
01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:17,080
Speaker 3: I have friends that fucking hate Obama and UH and

1696
01:20:17,360 --> 01:20:18,600
Speaker 3: and everything he stands for.

1697
01:20:19,200 --> 01:20:20,760
Speaker 2: I still love him, sir.

1698
01:20:20,960 --> 01:20:22,680

1701
01:20:27,680 --> 01:20:30,560
Speaker 3: get to that. So that as a as as a

1702
01:20:30,600 --> 01:20:33,240
Speaker 3: conclusion for you, and and I still respect you, I

1703
01:20:33,360 --> 01:20:35,519
Speaker 3: still love you, but that you know, that's just not

1704
01:20:35,680 --> 01:20:37,800
Speaker 3: something that I'm on. You know, I have friends that

1705
01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:41,840
Speaker 3: feel like, uh, socialism is gonna be the thing that

1706
01:20:42,120 --> 01:20:44,120
Speaker 3: that's gonna change the country. It's gonna we just need

1707
01:20:44,200 --> 01:20:47,400
Speaker 3: to get the right white person and power and they

1708
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:49,439
Speaker 3: gonna make it, they gonna fix it or whatever.

1709
01:20:49,960 --> 01:20:51,880
Speaker 2: Okay, you know, I don't have to believe that.

1710
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:54,439
Speaker 3: I don't have to share that point of view, but

1711
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:57,120
Speaker 3: I understand, and if it happens, I won't be bad

1712
01:20:57,200 --> 01:20:57,400
Speaker 3: at you.

1713
01:20:58,000 --> 01:20:58,320
Speaker 2: I don't.

1714
01:20:58,400 --> 01:21:00,360
Speaker 3: You know what I'm saying, like, but I feel too

1715
01:21:00,439 --> 01:21:04,080
Speaker 3: much or what the discourse is is us being like, well,

1716
01:21:04,160 --> 01:21:06,400
Speaker 3: your way is different than mine. Fuck you, fuck everything

1717
01:21:06,479 --> 01:21:09,800
Speaker 3: you stand for. You are somehow less blacker than me,

1718
01:21:10,000 --> 01:21:12,439
Speaker 3: less cool to me, less down to me, and I

1719
01:21:12,479 --> 01:21:15,040
Speaker 3: don't fuck with you no more, and that trauma lasts forever.

1720
01:21:15,280 --> 01:21:18,640
Speaker 3: That trauma does not go away, like later on when

1721
01:21:18,720 --> 01:21:20,880
Speaker 3: y'all are back in the same box because you steal

1722
01:21:20,960 --> 01:21:23,080
Speaker 3: black in America or black in the world, and you

1723
01:21:23,240 --> 01:21:27,000
Speaker 3: still face the similar oppressions and y'all still y'all agree

1724
01:21:27,040 --> 01:21:29,080
Speaker 3: on ninety percent of things and you get back to

1725
01:21:29,160 --> 01:21:32,559
Speaker 3: that ninety percent of things again, because it always comes

1726
01:21:32,640 --> 01:21:35,080
Speaker 3: back around, it's gonna be petty.

1727
01:21:35,720 --> 01:21:38,519
Speaker 2: I don't fuck with you because we disagreed about this thing.

1728
01:21:39,320 --> 01:21:40,760
Speaker 2: It's I don't know.

1729
01:21:40,880 --> 01:21:43,840
Speaker 3: I wanted to let that go in twenty seventeen, and

1730
01:21:43,960 --> 01:21:46,200
Speaker 3: I have let a lot of that go. I'm not perfect,

1731
01:21:47,040 --> 01:21:49,519
Speaker 3: Like that's still shit. I don't fuck with's. There's still

1732
01:21:49,560 --> 01:21:51,480
Speaker 3: people that disrespect folks humanity.

1733
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:56,600
Speaker 2: I can't fuck with that. There's people that ostracize or

1734
01:21:56,680 --> 01:21:57,639
Speaker 2: try to like come.

1735
01:21:57,520 --> 01:22:00,519
Speaker 3: At people's blackness over shit that's just literally a personal

1736
01:22:00,600 --> 01:22:03,800
Speaker 3: opinion that they just disagree about. I don't really fuck

1737
01:22:03,840 --> 01:22:06,640
Speaker 3: with that either, you know, Like to me, there's a

1738
01:22:06,720 --> 01:22:15,880
Speaker 3: difference between like a Jason Whitlock and say, I don't know.

1739
01:22:18,560 --> 01:22:22,320
Speaker 3: There's a difference between say, let's say Jason Whitlock or

1740
01:22:22,680 --> 01:22:25,599
Speaker 3: Herman Kane or Being Carson, you know, like those type

1741
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:28,160
Speaker 3: of folks where they're like anti black and.

1742
01:22:30,880 --> 01:22:31,519
Speaker 2: A motherfucker.

1743
01:22:31,600 --> 01:22:35,640
Speaker 3: That's just like I, I think socialism is right, and

1744
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:38,599
Speaker 3: I think black people need to stop support a Democratic party.

1745
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:42,200
Speaker 2: There's a difference to me. You know, there's Colin Kaepernick.

1746
01:22:42,200 --> 01:22:45,960
Speaker 3: There's a difference between Colin Kaepernick, who says a lot

1747
01:22:46,040 --> 01:22:48,640
Speaker 3: of shit I agree with, but it's like there's no

1748
01:22:48,720 --> 01:22:51,360
Speaker 3: point in voting, which I did. I disagree with that,

1749
01:22:51,520 --> 01:22:53,599
Speaker 3: but I agree with most of what he says. There's

1750
01:22:53,640 --> 01:23:00,679
Speaker 3: a difference to me between him and you know, even

1751
01:23:00,760 --> 01:23:04,920
Speaker 3: Chimamanda with her you know translike.

1752
01:23:04,360 --> 01:23:08,000
Speaker 2: Sort of trans antagonism. There's a difference to me between

1753
01:23:08,000 --> 01:23:08,559
Speaker 2: those two people.

1754
01:23:08,680 --> 01:23:10,599
Speaker 3: One of those people, I'm like, you need to come

1755
01:23:10,640 --> 01:23:12,840
Speaker 3: off of that shit you talking about people's humanity. The

1756
01:23:12,960 --> 01:23:15,599
Speaker 3: other person, I'm like, we politically disagree. I don't understand

1757
01:23:15,680 --> 01:23:18,599
Speaker 3: why that would make me feel like you're a bad

1758
01:23:18,680 --> 01:23:21,400
Speaker 3: person or I can't root for you. But there's a

1759
01:23:21,479 --> 01:23:25,479
Speaker 3: pressure within our community of black people that is very

1760
01:23:25,600 --> 01:23:29,160
Speaker 3: much like he gotta go too. You know, you can't

1761
01:23:29,160 --> 01:23:31,559
Speaker 3: bring up his name without at least one person popping

1762
01:23:31,640 --> 01:23:33,439
Speaker 3: up to be like and this nigga don't even vote,

1763
01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:36,519
Speaker 3: or and this nigga said this or he and it's like, damn.

1764
01:23:36,360 --> 01:23:37,679
Speaker 2: You gotta agree with all his opinions?

1765
01:23:38,240 --> 01:23:38,760
Speaker 4: Is that the goal?

1766
01:23:38,840 --> 01:23:40,840
Speaker 3: Because because you're gonna come to something with me too,

1767
01:23:41,479 --> 01:23:43,040
Speaker 3: and I'm gonna come to something with you, how are

1768
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:43,680
Speaker 3: we gonna handle that?

1769
01:23:44,560 --> 01:23:45,400
Speaker 4: You know? So?

1770
01:23:45,680 --> 01:23:48,439
Speaker 3: Anyway, I'll have to check out that book I clicked

1771
01:23:48,479 --> 01:23:52,400
Speaker 3: on the Hardscoe Linky tweeted Rod, I'm a Kancerrian and

1772

Speaker 3: very sensitive.

01:23:53,479 --> 01:23:55,320
Speaker 2: I've learned to love this about myself.

1774
01:23:55,400 --> 01:23:57,800
Speaker 3: It is said, it said that twenty sixteen was a

1775
01:23:57,840 --> 01:23:59,960
Speaker 3: year of personal professional advancement for me, and it will

1776
01:24:00,080 --> 01:24:02,600
Speaker 3: us if that was a y'all told myself why not me?

1777
01:24:02,640 --> 01:24:04,640
Speaker 3: And I built all that in twenty seventeen and for

1778
01:24:04,760 --> 01:24:06,880

Speaker 3: thank you for all the years you've been providing us

1820
01:25:51,960 --> 01:25:54,200
Speaker 3: as podcast. Seeing you guys get your footing and the

1821
01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:56,360
Speaker 3: flourish to the point you're at now makes my heart

1822
01:25:56,439 --> 01:25:56,880
Speaker 3: feel good.

1823
01:25:57,000 --> 01:25:59,040
Speaker 2: It's been beautiful to watch unfold over time.

1824
01:25:59,560 --> 01:26:02,040
Speaker 3: Thank you for creating a conservative safe space that we

1825
01:26:02,240 --> 01:26:04,519
Speaker 3: can come to and just feel like we're kicking it

1826
01:26:04,560 --> 01:26:06,720
Speaker 3: with friends and cousins. You may not be aware of

1827
01:26:06,840 --> 01:26:09,000
Speaker 3: the election of forty five is felt on this side

1828
01:26:09,000 --> 01:26:12,120
Speaker 3: of the border as well. I've seen so many divisions created.

1829
01:26:12,200 --> 01:26:14,160
Speaker 3: Just at my job alone, we don't have the volume

1830
01:26:14,240 --> 01:26:16,559
Speaker 3: that you have down there, but at a percentage of population,

1831
01:26:16,680 --> 01:26:19,880
Speaker 3: that racism is on par. At my job there's only

1832
01:26:19,960 --> 01:26:21,920
Speaker 3: four black people, including myself, and I could tell you

1833
01:26:22,120 --> 01:26:24,680
Speaker 3: we've been different since the election. White people in that

1834
01:26:24,760 --> 01:26:27,120
Speaker 3: microaggression seem a little easier to tolerate before.

1835
01:26:26,920 --> 01:26:27,680
Speaker 2: Forty five got in.

1836
01:26:27,840 --> 01:26:31,160
Speaker 3: The patients we used to exercise with some things just

1837
01:26:31,800 --> 01:26:35,040
Speaker 3: doesn't exist anymore. But we know good and damn well

1838
01:26:35,200 --> 01:26:37,200
Speaker 3: that there's only so much we can say and do

1839
01:26:37,479 --> 01:26:39,880
Speaker 3: before it's a problem. And even the ones that are

1840
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:43,479
Speaker 3: anti forty five are as are as atip forty five

1841
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:45,920
Speaker 3: as they think they are. Thank you both for being

1842
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,240
Speaker 3: shoulders we can lean on during the past year. I

1843
01:26:48,360 --> 01:26:50,560
Speaker 3: really could go on forever about how you guys have

1844
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:52,320
Speaker 3: helped me step out of my own way and get

1845
01:26:52,400 --> 01:26:54,400
Speaker 3: after what I want, but this email is already long.

1846
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:56,240
Speaker 2: Thanks again, Thank you for introducing me.

1847
01:26:56,520 --> 01:26:58,960
Speaker 3: To other shows like What's the t Where's My forty acres?

1848

Speaker 3: The crew over at mtr our five starter ed callis Moore.

1849
01:27:01,880 --> 01:27:04,320
Speaker 3: I got forty one podcasts in rotation that twenty seven

1850
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:06,800
Speaker 3: are directly off of co Sign of mention from y'all, Yeah,

1851
01:27:06,840 --> 01:27:10,000
Speaker 3: that's dope. Unfortunately, in twenty sixteen, life was lifing and

1852

2096
01:37:55,760 --> 01:37:59,040
Speaker 3: with the Most Unreasonable People. Now, I find a podcast

2097
01:37:59,120 --> 01:38:02,080
Speaker 3: to be a little bit leading, as I don't feel

2098
01:38:02,120 --> 01:38:04,720
Speaker 3: that they're that unreasonable neither. I often listen and I

2099
01:38:04,800 --> 01:38:07,640
Speaker 3: think that's pretty reasoned out, that's very reasonable, but they

2100
01:38:07,720 --> 01:38:10,599
Speaker 3: say it's a reasonable you know. The last one felt

2101
01:38:10,600 --> 01:38:12,840
Speaker 3: a little unreasonable because it was eight people on the

2102
01:38:12,880 --> 01:38:15,240
Speaker 3: mic at the same time and a little bit shady, but.

2103
01:38:15,760 --> 01:38:19,000
Speaker 2: In general, very reasonable show. I don't know. Maybe it's me.

2104
01:38:21,400 --> 01:38:23,799
Speaker 3: With the most unreasonable people. I have continued to navigate

2105
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:25,760
Speaker 3: state bureadic bureaucratic bs.

2106
01:38:25,880 --> 01:38:26,799
Speaker 2: I've made new friends.

2107
01:38:27,080 --> 01:38:29,280
Speaker 3: I've got to meet and talked to my favorite podcasters,

2108
01:38:29,360 --> 01:38:31,280
Speaker 3: some of which are received this car for the first time.

2109
01:38:31,439 --> 01:38:34,280
Speaker 3: All although the social and political climate has been one

2110
01:38:34,280 --> 01:38:37,360
Speaker 3: of the most disheartening to humanizing the present experiences this year,

2111
01:38:37,680 --> 01:38:39,160
Speaker 3: I know that I personally could not have done it

2112
01:38:39,240 --> 01:38:40,800
Speaker 3: without the love and support from all of y'all.

2113
01:38:40,880 --> 01:38:41,439
Speaker 2: Thank you so much.

2114
01:38:41,479 --> 01:38:44,639

01:38:51,240 --> 01:38:52,479
