Speaker 2: So it was it was too hot. It was too hot, Like, y'all,
Speaker 2: I think the sun is eventially gonna kill us. I
Speaker 2: really think that, like this is gonna fry.
Speaker 3: We haven't had a crazy ass hot summer so far,
Speaker 3: Like I mean, I think it's like it gets the
Speaker 3: hottest after all the rain. Right, So we had a
Speaker 3: lot of rain last weekend. It's usually kind of steamy afterwards,
Speaker 3: real humid and sticky.
Speaker 2: I think the sun is une.
Speaker 3: We still had like us out of here by the
Speaker 3: time we get nah, not us, not black people in
Speaker 3: particularly gonna be right. We can't stand the heat and
Speaker 3: we can't stand to get blacker. But we ain't looked
Speaker 3: the sun.
Speaker 2: He's given. I'm about to annihilate all of y'all. I'm
Speaker 2: about to fry y'all up on that little planet, because baby,
Speaker 2: it was hottest fall this weekend, and it's only you
Speaker 2: think about August is the hottest month. It's that's scary.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but we haven't had a whole lot of
Speaker 3: super hot days.
Speaker 2: You feel like when we did have the hot days,
Speaker 2: they were hell hot. You better get right with God,
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. That's sad. Don't make you want
Speaker 2: to do that else, it should make you want to
Speaker 2: get right with the Lord. Let's get me seen. This
Speaker 2: just propped up on the docket and I forgot about this,
Speaker 2: but you know, I was pissed because I don't play
Speaker 2: about Tyler Perry because he does so much for our community.
Speaker 2: So this, well, the fucking Derek Dixon filed a two
Speaker 2: hundred and sixty million dollar lawsuit against Tyler Perry alleged
Speaker 2: sexual harassment, assault, and retaliation. The lawsuit claims Perry used
Speaker 2: his power to create a coercive and sexually exploitive dynamic
Speaker 2: with Dixon. Perry allegedly offered Dixon acting opportunities and later
Speaker 2: escalated his behavior with inappropriate text messages grow uping in
Speaker 2: sexual assault. Dixon claims Perry used professional opportunities a part
Speaker 2: of a quid pro qro arrangement and retaliated with Dixie
Speaker 2: Dixon resistant sexual advances. Now, Tyler Perry's attorney, Mackie Boy
Speaker 2: stated that Dixon's claims are fabricated and described them as
Speaker 2: a scam. Boy it is. Let me tell you something,
Speaker 2: if you get rich and famous, you just better make
Speaker 2: sure you don't do shit wrong in life, because somebody
Speaker 2: is coming to get some of that money. Now. They
Speaker 2: posted on the Shade Room the conversations that were ad
Speaker 2: the team Tyler Perry and this Dixon guy.
Speaker 1: And nothing of it.
Speaker 2: None of it sounds sexual at all. Nothing but maybe
Speaker 2: it was edited. I don't know, you know. I guess
Speaker 2: we'll see further what this guy's claims are. But Tyler
Speaker 2: perryin't gonna be nobody's friend no more after.
Speaker 1: This, y'all.
Speaker 3: I'm not one of them people who quick to believe people,
Speaker 3: you know, when they say, but we can't not you
Speaker 3: can't just discredit people when they do come up with
Speaker 3: these things, not immediately until we get all. I don't
Speaker 3: like them, and nobody rather, you know, it's the person
Speaker 3: who's complaining or the person who's being accused, right, I
Speaker 3: don't wanna that. Shit just has to has to play
Speaker 3: out in court, and hopefully Tyler Perry ends up on
Speaker 3: the winning side of it all, because we do.
Speaker 1: Ever since the Me Too movement, like you, you.
Speaker 3: Don't know who to trust because we know a lot
Speaker 3: of things were you know, just conjured up out of
Speaker 3: thin air, you know, to discredit a lot of black men.
Speaker 1: We hadn't heard anything about Tyler Perry in the past.
Speaker 3: But we also can't put stuff past people because you
Speaker 3: have to realize that sometimes people don't know when they
Speaker 3: violate somebody else.
Speaker 1: Because just think about like a work work environment.
Speaker 3: Right, if you like the nigga, yes, harass me, Yeah,
Speaker 3: harassed me, nigga, I'm harassing you too, you know, But
Speaker 3: when you don't like them.
Speaker 2: It's harassment. Yeah, it's only harassment if you don't like
Speaker 2: them exactly.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 3: So sometimes, like I think, there are some men who
Speaker 3: men who don't get the They don't get the hint,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying. When they like you, you're
Speaker 3: automatically supposed to like them. That is a thing, hopefully,
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 1: And it's a.
Speaker 3: White man also, right, A fine ass white man, nice
Speaker 3: looking man, you know, so I don't I don't know,
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know.
Speaker 1: We'll see.
Speaker 2: Well, I just hope I come out on top. Now
Speaker 2: if he sexually harassed this man sexually harassed seems extremes
Speaker 2: your text message. I don't know man, just saying just
Speaker 2: saying you looked good today, saying I like how I
Speaker 2: liked how you I liked how you wore that dress.
Speaker 3: I like how you were wearing that dress today. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you cannot negate what somebody determines like sexual harassment is.
Speaker 3: Like you, it may seem harmless to you, right, but
Speaker 3: if I can get in court apples, what is this
Speaker 3: we talked about this ship. Yes, they do owe you
Speaker 3: a check.
Speaker 1: We were being sexually harassed because or maybe even trafficked
Speaker 1: because how old were you, like nineteen years old, maybe

Speaker 2: so right, But that's what you're asking? What else more
Speaker 2: somber news? This is not stupid internet news at all. Uh.
Speaker 2: The VJ former VJ from MTV, Ananda Lewis, passed away.
Speaker 2: She was fifty two years old and she had breast cancer.
Speaker 2: You know. She passed away at home and her sister looked,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna miss this name up, but I'm gonna try
Speaker 2: my best lunch. I'm not even her sister. He looks
Speaker 2: me like like SIMI like she me share the news
Speaker 2: of Lewis's passing with a heartfelt message stating she's free
Speaker 2: and then his heavenly arms, expressing her grief with a
Speaker 2: broken with broken heart emotions. She you know, she came
Speaker 2: out in twenty twenty saying that she was, you know,
Speaker 2: battling breast cancer and like she discussed about you know,
Speaker 2: early detection and going to get checked. You know, so
Speaker 2: I encourage you men and women alike, because men can
Speaker 2: get breast cancer too, to please get your bodies checked.
Speaker 2: You can do self checking. Hold one arm over your head,
Speaker 2: behind your head and cross your yeah, and then feel
Speaker 2: on your breast, need your breast and feel for any lumps.
Speaker 2: And if you feel something, go see a doctor. Don't
Speaker 2: uh think you always probably insist or it's probably don't
Speaker 2: try to self diagnose as something else. Just go get checked. Everybody.
Speaker 2: You know, she she ended up like the doctor wanted
Speaker 2: her to get a double misectomy, and she chose not
Speaker 2: to cut her breasts off. And I wonder why she
Speaker 2: chose that, you know, why wouldn't she just cut them
Speaker 2: off when she chose to.
Speaker 3: I mean, it's our breast a us right, And I guess,
Speaker 3: you know, maybe she was more of I can only
Speaker 3: assume like how I would be in that particular situation.
Speaker 3: I'm not afraid to die, right, So if it's my time,
Speaker 3: that's what that's what's gonna happen. So maybe she didn't
Speaker 3: want to face her body. Maybe she didn't want to
Speaker 3: go through because I mean that chemotherapy literally chills the
Speaker 3: good sales and bad sales in your body. So even
Speaker 3: she'd have had to got the she would have had
Speaker 3: to gotten my second me and chemo, it would probably
Speaker 3: it would not just be one or the other situations. So, yeah,
Speaker 3: she got diagnosed in twenty twenty, and she just I mean,
Speaker 3: she lived with five more years. She probably just accepted
Speaker 3: her feet and didn't want to have to go through that,
Speaker 3: through that suffering. Yeah, I guess, you know, because you're
Speaker 3: not guaranteed either way either, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3: And it depends also on how long how far along
Speaker 3: the cancer actually was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, she was staged three when diagnosed.
Speaker 1: When she when she got diagnosed, Yeah, boy, I know,
Speaker 1: I mean that I just.
Speaker 2: Really really really despised.
Speaker 1: I know so many women right now battling breast cancer.
Speaker 1: I knew.
Speaker 3: I know at least four women, that's a lot. That's
Speaker 3: a lot as far as I'm concerned, that's a lot.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, personally, like yeah, I know, battling breast cancer.
Speaker 2: Two two women battling brisk answer all right. You know,
Speaker 2: I don't even like to say balut healing from healing
Speaker 2: from breast cancer, because.
Speaker 3: I mean, we're gonna fight it, but it's not yours though,
Speaker 3: you know. I people be like my cancer, my my diabetes,
Speaker 3: like that. We ain't claiming it now, but we are
Speaker 3: going to fight.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: Aside from going and getting your your your exams annually,
Speaker 3: you know, most likely we also need to watch our
Speaker 3: diets and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: I just the food, the food.
Speaker 2: We eat eating, and then I also feel like deorderant,
Speaker 2: I don't know, ye, the deorant.
Speaker 3: Deorderant, bras, all of that are pressing on your lymph
Speaker 3: nodes in that area. That's why they have like the
Speaker 3: no broad day and ship like that, because all of
Speaker 3: those things contribute to breast cancer.
Speaker 1: Deorder with the aluminum.
Speaker 3: Hardly me either, especially it's hot outside deorderan our words.
Speaker 3: People be talking about the natural deorderant, but the deorderant
Speaker 3: with the aluminum and all those extra added bullshit. It's
Speaker 3: clogging your pores underneath your arm.
Speaker 2: It's clogging. And all those toxes that are supposed to
Speaker 2: be your body releases through your armpits are no longer
Speaker 2: being released. They're just being stored inside your body. And
Speaker 2: you do be stak, because I'm gonna let y'all know.
Speaker 2: I'll be stak, like I think because I've been using them,
Speaker 2: you know, products that did that for so long that
Speaker 2: now that I've stopped, baby, I got a shelf life
Speaker 2: like a motherfucker.
Speaker 1: Like he's like turn tell pump came around?
Speaker 2: What time?
Speaker 3: It was, like, y'all, I got about thirty more minutes
Speaker 3: before I got to get up. You'd a lefting glass
Speaker 3: slipping behind and everything, you.
Speaker 2: Know, And I travel like I'll travel with like wipes
Speaker 2: and like more deorder. I tried this thing like it
Speaker 2: was a crystal. Mmmm. That shit don't do nothing. I
Speaker 2: don't know what that's. I use it, but it don't work.
Speaker 2: I just still be just as funky. But it's okay
Speaker 2: because I'm not putting that illuminum under my arm pits
Speaker 2: ever again. I don't care.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I've been using natural Deorderant Now for a very
Speaker 3: long time, I don't know the last time I used
Speaker 3: regular Deorderant, and I've been musty even with the regular Deorderan.
Speaker 1: So I actually feel like I actually have less.
Speaker 3: Smell nowadays versus when I was using the order because
Speaker 3: I think over time, just think about it, like Deorderant.
Speaker 3: All these things that says like doctor recommended, a dermatologists recommended.
Speaker 3: Are dentists recommended? Right? They're recommended because those people have
Speaker 3: to keep their jobs right, So they're not gonna make
Speaker 3: something that's going to just cure and help the actual issues.
Speaker 3: They're not because then they won't have a job. So
Speaker 3: you think that all this stuff gets rid of ginger
Speaker 3: vitis if you want to mm hmm, they need you
Speaker 3: to come to the dentist. So the stuff they're they're
Speaker 3: not gonna put anything in our products that's actually gonna
Speaker 3: help us not need thathing.
Speaker 2: And that's how I feel about pants and stuff, like
Speaker 2: what's in that? You know, we all were coming up
Speaker 2: with these firebroids all the time, popping like everybody got
Speaker 2: a firebo What isn't this thing we're putting up against?
Speaker 2: What's in that? Jel?
Speaker 1: Everybody don't got no firebroid now, not.
Speaker 2: Everybody, A lot of people, a lot of people. You
Speaker 2: know what's in that jelly that's in those paths? You
Speaker 2: know that jelly that's inside of there, that's absorbing, Like
Speaker 2: what are we pressing up against our bodies? You know
Speaker 2: what's in those tampons that were shoving in our bodies, you.
Speaker 3: Know, and letting sit in there. Now people don't even
Speaker 3: take it out when it's supposed to. My friend told
Speaker 3: me to get those No, what's the It's a.
Speaker 2: Black owned pat honey pot pads and it had mythol
Speaker 2: or something like.
Speaker 1: That, And I like it. I like it.

Speaker 3: the more you use the less the sensation is like you.
Speaker 2: Know that hot ample feel like how this feel? What is?

Speaker 3: It's like eucalyptus. I know one of them has eucalyptus
Speaker 3: and lavender and stuff. It's just natural oils, natural essential
Speaker 3: oils to help like with cramping and just.
Speaker 1: To soothe you.
Speaker 3: You know, Gucci Pi pulsate and feeling like when you
Speaker 3: when you're in your cycle. If you keep using it,
Speaker 3: the sense like it's not the sensation is not that
Speaker 3: intense after a while, it's not so like you just the.
Speaker 2: First oh sing a newport right now, that's stupid.
Speaker 3: Shut up man, all right, So this is the last thing, y'all. So,
Speaker 3: uh divorced deception, it says, man forges wife's name on
Speaker 3: divorce papers. Police saying, now, y'all, remember when we reported
Speaker 3: where this girl actually hired a man that looked like
Speaker 3: her boyfriend and had him go through the process and
Speaker 3: courts to obtain a marriage license and he didn't even
Speaker 3: know they were married. He took her on a trip
Speaker 3: and she felt like that was her honeymoon. He didn't
Speaker 3: even know they were married. Well, this man actually forged
Speaker 3: his wife's signature to divorce her ass without knowing. So
Speaker 3: it says a Houston man, while all these motherfuckers in Texas,
Speaker 3: they'd be wild down here and like that's June. I'm
Speaker 3: about to say juneteenth. Yeah, Thus June teenth, a Houston
Speaker 3: man now has to answer to his wife and the courts.
Speaker 3: Harris County Priestinct for deputy said Paul Nixon fifty one
Speaker 3: tried to deceive the Harris County District's district's clerk's office
Speaker 3: by forging his wife's signature on divorce papers. It says
Speaker 3: he's alleged to have forged documents with his signature to
Speaker 3: try to solidify the divorce, said the.
Speaker 1: Countable Mark Herman.
Speaker 3: The wife inadvertly knew nothing about the proceedings or the
Speaker 3: divorce decree.
Speaker 1: It's how he did, he said.
Speaker 3: Court documents show Nickson filed for divorce February fifteen, and
Speaker 3: then on April seventeen, uncontested waiver divorce papers were submitted
Speaker 3: to the court with ford signature of Dixon's wife and
Speaker 3: a notary republic A court in Herman. So whoever a
Speaker 3: notary is getting in trouble too. But why is this crime?
Speaker 3: You could face off the ten years in prison and
Speaker 3: five thousand dollars worth of fines right.
Speaker 2: Because that is nuts? Why don't you just ask for
Speaker 2: a divorce? Right?
Speaker 3: Like I mean, I'm just trying to figure out, like
Speaker 3: why he couldn't just and that.
Speaker 2: Why could Maybe she was going to fight and be
Speaker 2: like I want this and I want that. But if
Speaker 2: he just signed it himself, he can just get get
Speaker 2: away scott free. But how you talking?
Speaker 1: I feel like I've seen this man before. Is he
Speaker 1: an actor or somebody you don't know this thing. He
Speaker 1: just looks familiar, this guy. But yeah, I don't.
Speaker 2: Know, man.
Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe maybe he didn't feel like fighting duking it
Speaker 3: out in court. Maybe he just wanted to file like

Speaker 2: So that's they were being enslaved despite So them white
Speaker 2: folks in Texas was like, shit, ain't no ain't no
Speaker 2: group texts, it ain't no phone call these niggas TV.
Speaker 2: We ain't gonna tell them. We're not gonna tell them.
Speaker 2: So someone had to come and like literally let them
Speaker 2: know that they were no longer enslaved and that they
Speaker 2: could be free, which is a you know, it brings
Speaker 2: up another conversation because then when they were free, now
Speaker 2: what you.
Speaker 3: Know, Yeah, a lot of people chose even in the South,
Speaker 3: you know, because through my studies, slavery was predominantly in
Speaker 3: the South. It's like Jim Crow and black laws and
Speaker 3: stuff like that that was experienced throughout the entire country,
Speaker 3: but slavery in particular probably was from Virginia on down,
Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like maybe even some parts
Speaker 3: of Virginia wasn't uh didn't have you know, as much
Speaker 3: slavey like South Carolina and Mississippi and Louisa, Yeah, predominantly,
Speaker 3: But I mean black people lived up north too, you know.
Speaker 3: And I think twelve Years a Slave is an actual
Speaker 3: good depiction of what some people experienced during that time,
Speaker 3: because you know, remember on that movie, he was free.
Speaker 3: He was a free man living in the North with
Speaker 3: white friends, had a whole family, owned a business, and
Speaker 3: he was kidnapped into southern slavery. Yeah, and it wasn't
Speaker 3: until he m It wasn't until a good white man
Speaker 3: came onto the plantation he was on. They had basically
Speaker 3: tried to beat his his identity out of him, but
Speaker 3: he told this man who he was, and that white
Speaker 3: guy went back up up north and came back down
Speaker 3: with his black with his white friends, who then basically
Speaker 3: took him. You know what I'm saying, like, we ain't
Speaker 3: paying you off for him because he's not a slave.
Speaker 3: So a lot of people were kidnapped into slavery. A
Speaker 3: lot of black people were born free, were always free,
Speaker 3: so slavery was predominantly in the South. So people in Texas,
Speaker 3: right Galveston, Texas and other parts of Texas, they didn't
Speaker 3: even know that slavery had been abolished for two whole
Speaker 3: years until June nineteenth, eighteen sixty five. And see, that's
Speaker 3: why Juneteenth had been celebrated mostly in Texas prior to.
Speaker 2: Being Yeah, and here's the thing. This is all right,
Speaker 2: so if you haven't noticed, this administration has been quietly
Speaker 2: erasing history, like they're taking stuff out of the like
Speaker 2: things that were celebrated in our United States military. They
Speaker 2: were moving it black figures that were they have done
Speaker 2: great things for this country. They're silently removing it from
Speaker 2: the history. But and what that does is creates an
Speaker 2: environment where we don't know. That's why Juneteenth is just
Speaker 2: becoming a holiday because we're ignorant to it. So if
Speaker 2: you take out, if you remove the history, people will forget.
Speaker 2: And then next thing, you know, give me.
Speaker 1: Some examples of people and now I know that. You know,
Speaker 1: critical race theory.
Speaker 3: Has always been like one of the biggest debates the
Speaker 3: last eight years or so right, whether or not critical
Speaker 3: race theory should be taught on a college level, It's
Speaker 3: never a discussion about it being taught to children age
Speaker 3: you know, first grade to twelfth grade.
Speaker 1: It's just it was supposed to be a college course, right.
Speaker 3: Personally, if y'all going to teach history, y'all need to
Speaker 3: teach the correct history or else just let me teach
Speaker 3: my child their history.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: So, as a little black child, I don't want my
Speaker 3: kid to think that their entire entire existence began in bondage.
Speaker 3: I would prefer for them not to teach them that
Speaker 3: because it's just not true. And that's what we learn
Speaker 3: learned in school. Like you would think that black people
Speaker 3: all came to America on a on a on a
Speaker 3: slave ship, and it's just not true. Right, So if y'all,
Speaker 3: if y'all not gonna teach the history properly, don't teach it.
Speaker 3: And then little white kids should not at the same token,
Speaker 3: should not be made to feel like shit because of
Speaker 3: their ancestors.
Speaker 1: So we can we.
Speaker 3: Can teach history history, we can't live there, and that's
Speaker 3: what that's what continues to happen. So at what point
Speaker 3: do we like and I'm not saying get over right,
Speaker 3: but at what point do we try to just be Americans,
Speaker 3: just be one? Will it ever happen if we keep
Speaker 3: teaching these negative parts of American history and then teaching
Speaker 3: it improperly? You see what I'm saying, still not actually
Speaker 3: telling the truth about it.
Speaker 2: I think you know, all right, So our history is important,
Speaker 2: I think all right. So for us to truly become
Speaker 2: fully American as one, we have to know our true stories,
Speaker 2: to celebrate the history and growth right to become what
Speaker 2: we are. But if you erase it, then it's like
Speaker 2: you want people to not know the truth. Now.
Speaker 3: I don't think you're racing it, though, I don't think
Speaker 3: they're raising it.
Speaker 2: So let me tell you the erasure of black military heroes.
Speaker 2: This year, Sergeant William Henry Johnson, the Pentagon moved the
Speaker 2: dedicated webpage honorary Sergeant William Henry Johnson, the Black World
Speaker 2: War One hero who received the Medal of Honor in
Speaker 2: twenty fifteen. They were moving them. General Colin Powell Arlington
Speaker 2: National Cemetery cease highlights the first black Chairman of the
Speaker 2: Joint Chiefs of Staff on its website, completely erased Tuskegee
Speaker 2: Airmen and other black veterans that the Department of Defense
Speaker 2: the deleted content related to the Tuscagee Airmen and other
Speaker 2: black veterans as a part of the same DEI review.
Speaker 2: So impact on military terry base renaming. Fort Gregg Adams,
Speaker 2: Virginia renamed in twenty twenty three to honor General Arthur J.
Speaker 2: Gregg and Lieutenant Colonel Charity Charity Adams, both distinguished black officers.
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty five, the basement was reverted to its
Speaker 2: original name, Fort Lee. Fort Kavaris, Texas renamed in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty three to honor of General Richard E. Kavaris, the
Speaker 2: first Hispanic Ford Star general. In twenty twenty five, they
Speaker 2: reversed it to Fort Hood does not acknowledge Kavars, effectively
Speaker 2: erasing his recognition. And this is the name.
Speaker 3: So some of them, So some of the fort names
Speaker 3: were changed a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: Then you're saying they changed them back MH to their
Speaker 1: original names.
Speaker 2: Yes, So they were named after black military figures, black
Speaker 2: and brown, black and brown, and now they're taken and
Speaker 2: and this is just a few small examples of what
Speaker 2: they're doing. You're systematically erasing us from the history. So
Speaker 2: will be another one hundred years where we'll be like, oh,
Speaker 2: did you know about Kwanza? Have you ever heard?
Speaker 1: That's what.
Speaker 3: M That's what I'm saying. Though, You cannot expect the
Speaker 3: enemy to teach you anything, Okay, So that's why people
Speaker 3: parents at homes you have to teach your kids. Yes,
Speaker 3: you know, they made it a law essentially. I think
Speaker 3: that's the one good thing COVID did, right. It got
Speaker 3: a lot of parents doing home teaching. A lot of
Speaker 3: parents did and ended up not sending their kids back
Speaker 3: to school, so they're still teaching their small kids and
Speaker 3: you know, high school kids at home, which I think personally,
Speaker 3: when I have a child, I'm going to do homeschooling.
Speaker 3: I hope I'm in a position to absolutely do that
Speaker 3: when I have a kid. You cannot expect the enemy
Speaker 3: to teach you anything, because whoever wins the war shapes
Speaker 3: the future. They shape what happened. And you think only
Speaker 3: good people win wars. They don't know bad people be
Speaker 3: winning wars. So we always vacuum.
Speaker 2: How do we become one America when we know that
Speaker 2: there is an enemy amongst us? You know, how do you,
Speaker 2: how can we even say, oh, we need to be
Speaker 2: one America if we know that we're not viewed as one.
Speaker 3: There will always be prejudice, right because we are not
Speaker 3: all the same right now. Racism is absolutely taught. But
Speaker 3: people just have like these preconceived prejudice against people. We
Speaker 3: have them, you know what I'm saying, And we just
Speaker 3: we can't be racist, you know it, Like black people
Speaker 3: can't power white tt is.
Speaker 2: On your back.
Speaker 3: I don't want nobody's best on my back because I'm
Speaker 3: not a fucking lesbian mood them titties. Okay, I don't
Speaker 3: know what that has to do with what we're talking about,
Speaker 3: but stupid now you'll be doing shit like that, and
Speaker 3: I forget my thoughts.
Speaker 2: I got I gotta add a little somewhere.
Speaker 3: Go ahead, Yeah, what was I saying? Yeah, everybody has
Speaker 3: like prejudice, right, racist that people say like black people
Speaker 3: can't be racist because we're not in a position of
Speaker 3: power to be racist. And I don't think that black
Speaker 3: people want to be in position in a position right
Speaker 3: so we can oppress everybody else. That's just not the
Speaker 3: type of people we are. There's a way in America
Speaker 3: in particular because this is a capitalistic society.
Speaker 1: Marching isn't going to change anything. Even fucking starting wars
Speaker 1: and shit ain't gonna change shit. Because we are black people.
Speaker 1: We are the number one consumers in America. You boycott,
Speaker 1: that is the way you get what you want. You
Speaker 1: stop participating in the system and watch how quick things
Speaker 1: change because this system depends on us. The power is
Speaker 1: in the dollar. That's it.
Speaker 3: That's how we combat racism. You don't fuck with them.
Speaker 3: Other communities that people don't have these issues we have
Speaker 3: because they have more unity. And they also like say,
Speaker 3: for instance, you sell on one product right, your product
Speaker 3: costs a dollar one dollar. The Asian people they need
Speaker 3: your product right for their store or something like that,
Speaker 3: but they have a there's a there's a there's another
Speaker 3: Asian vendor that sells the same product, but it's three dollars.
Speaker 3: Guess you ain't spending their money with even if they
Speaker 3: got to pay two dollars more. They're going to their people.
Speaker 3: That's one example on out of combat racism. You fuck
Speaker 3: with your own people. We were bamboozled the civil rights
Speaker 3: The civil rights movement bamboozled black people. That's my opinion, right,
Speaker 3: we didn't need to be integrated. That yeah, segregation, if
Speaker 3: we would have remained segregated, and though they destroyed everything
Speaker 3: we tried to create, right, and I think you know
Speaker 3: during that we can do it again. We're choosing now
Speaker 3: not to do it again. We can do it again.
Speaker 1: You see.
Speaker 2: Uh if we do that again, is it wouldn't really
Speaker 2: be one America though, you know. I mean what you
Speaker 2: were saying was like that history. We need to not
Speaker 2: have it. We need to be one. But how can we.
Speaker 3: Be I'm thinking about the children, right, I'm thinking about
Speaker 3: the children. It may not happen in our lifetime because
Speaker 3: adults like this. This is why I fuck with kids
Speaker 3: more than adults. We got to start focusing on the youth,
Speaker 3: focusing on the children and what they're learning. And if
Speaker 3: they keep learning that, then that is what the future
Speaker 3: is will continue to look like. Right, So at some
Speaker 3: point we have to stop so that the kids can
Speaker 3: be doing it won't be, it won't be during our
Speaker 3: lifetime where we're one America. It won't be because we're
Speaker 3: already tainted this this thing we're talking about, we're talking
Speaker 3: about being taught to small people. So we have to
Speaker 3: stop teaching the bullshit to small people so that they
Speaker 3: can grow up and be one America. It won't happen
Speaker 3: in our lifetime.
Speaker 1: And what do you feel like the bullshit is when
Speaker 1: you say that teaching black children that their entire existence
Speaker 1: started as a slave, right, and teaching white children that
Speaker 1: their entire existence started as savages because that's what their
Speaker 1: ancestors wore. As much as they try to make it
Speaker 1: look like, make it seem like black people are such savages,
Speaker 1: we taught y'all how to wash.
Speaker 3: Let's be very clear, Okay, So yeah, that type of
Speaker 3: stuff should not be taught. So slavery, No, I don't.
Speaker 3: If a parent wants to teach that at the house,
Speaker 3: they can because we'll teach it properly. Right, there's no
Speaker 3: recollection in my family that any of us came from slaves.
Speaker 3: Now what we not slick? When I say slaves, I
Speaker 3: mean coming from Africa on a slave boat. Because let's
Speaker 3: just think about that time. It would have been impossible
Speaker 3: to get millions of millions of people cross here in
Speaker 3: the boat. I know they probably calculating the people having
Speaker 3: children and all that and that number once they got here.
Speaker 3: But in the record in history, they're trying to say
Speaker 3: that they brought all these millions of people on slave ships.
Speaker 3: It would be impossible for that time if niggas was
Speaker 3: riding around on horse and buggies and shit like that,
Speaker 3: Like y'all don't y'all didn't have the means to create
Speaker 3: these ships that y'all want people to think. What was
Speaker 3: actually happening. There was more trans trans America slave trade
Speaker 3: versus transatlantic interest. He's the intra American slave trade. Meaning
Speaker 3: they were taking people from Charleston from Louisiana, from from
Speaker 3: from Florida and swapping him with Barbados, swapping him with
Speaker 3: with Jamaica, like moving people from close islands like that.
Speaker 3: We weren't coming from Africa. There were some people coming
Speaker 3: from Africa. There were some You could tell who people
Speaker 3: were based on what crops were grown on, what plantation. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's not like Rice and Charleston like, there were absolutely
Speaker 3: some Africans. Last week, you mentioned the African community down
Speaker 3: in Beauford. I know, I said Hilton Handle at the
Speaker 3: same area.
Speaker 1: Last week. So of course some people did come.
Speaker 3: And we're all just a blended people at this time
Speaker 3: at this time, you know what I'm saying, But not
Speaker 3: everybody came in on a slave ship. That's why we'll
Speaker 3: never get reparations.
Speaker 2: In some ways. But I don't think nobody if it's
Speaker 2: from omitting the truth. You know, this is.
Speaker 1: Why they definitely benefit from omitting the truth because in.
Speaker 2: Order I'm talking about I'm talking about now like raising
Speaker 2: our children to not know the history of their people,
Speaker 2: raising white kids to not know the history of their people.
Speaker 2: I think it's important for us to teach our children
Speaker 2: our history because they.
Speaker 3: Teach them, though I don't think it should be in
Speaker 3: a school curriculum because they're not teachings. That's what we
Speaker 3: should attack them, right, If you're going to teach history right,
Speaker 3: this is what we need to collectively attack. We attack
Speaker 3: the curriculum and what is being taught right because even
Speaker 3: now they're going to continue with the same curriculum. It's
Speaker 3: not working, it's not and.
Speaker 2: It's not real like some of the some of the
Speaker 2: things that I've seen is they try to paint history
Speaker 2: like slavery as like the slaves were happy to be slaves,
Speaker 2: you know, because they don't want to traumatize the children.
Speaker 2: But one, if you're gonna maybe you're teaching them too young.
Speaker 2: If you think it's gonna be too traumatic for them,
Speaker 2: then maybe it shouldn't be a part of the curriculum
Speaker 2: just yet. But don't make it seem like no, like
Speaker 2: black people were just out there smiling picking cotton.
Speaker 1: Do you remember that headline?
Speaker 3: This was some years ago, and I actually saw a
Speaker 3: boy like talking about it, like how his school took
Speaker 3: him to a cotton field and had them picking cotton
Speaker 3: with a bag, Yeah, all day, and then he just.
Speaker 1: Run around the cartfield like it's fun like.
Speaker 3: And he said he went home and he had a
Speaker 3: he had cotton in his back pocket. And mind you,
Speaker 3: his mama signed off on this future but obviously you
Speaker 3: didn't read the doctor he was going. Yeah, so I
Speaker 3: told she was washing clothes and the nigga had fresh
Speaker 3: cotton in his back pocket.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you not taking my child's no damn plantation.
Speaker 3: And that's the type of shit that can possibly happen
Speaker 3: with the current curriculum.
Speaker 2: Right because so before we saw this, I went to
Speaker 2: see how much juneteen has been added to students curriculum
Speaker 2: since you know, it became a federal holiday, and it
Speaker 2: has not been widely added to any student's curriculum. These
Speaker 2: kids still don't know what it is. Even though it
Speaker 2: is a national holiday, it's still not in their curriculum
Speaker 2: to even understand why it's a holiday, what it is,
Speaker 2: and how people see it as, oh, that's a black holiday.
Speaker 2: It's not even a national holiday I remember celebrating.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a federal holiday.
Speaker 2: It's a federal It's not widely taught what it is.
Speaker 2: It's not you go to schools July fourth, the students
Speaker 2: have red, white and blue all over the school. You know,
Speaker 2: they learn what it is. June teen should be celebrated
Speaker 2: the same way. But it's not even a part of
Speaker 2: the curriculum. It's not even added. Even after it's become
Speaker 2: a national holiday, have they Some places have added, but
Speaker 2: based on what I found on the internet, is not
Speaker 2: widely in it, and people are seeing it as a
Speaker 2: oh that's a black holiday. That's a new black holiday.
Speaker 2: And then even though in South Carolina, I think you
Speaker 2: like government jobs, like you can choose between uh, what's that?
Speaker 2: What's or junet off? Pick one?
Speaker 1: Oh you can't get both off.
Speaker 2: No, you can pick one of those.
Speaker 3: You don't even get a floating holiday, ignorant. That's why listen,
Speaker 3: this is why I don't agree that Juneteenth should have
Speaker 3: ever been.
Speaker 1: Made a federal holiday. It's a lot of holidays.
Speaker 3: They can Columbus Day for one, right, So now there
Speaker 3: are people, there's people, there are people who celebrate Indigenous
Speaker 3: Day right as opposed to Columbus Columbus Day.
Speaker 1: The thing is is that I want money.
Speaker 3: I don't want symbolization for anything else anymore, right, I need.
Speaker 2: We don't want to statuations. Who said that, then we're
Speaker 2: gonna give us nothing but symbolism.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that, and that's what we received once we
Speaker 1: accepted that. I don't accept I'm not saying that Juneteenth
Speaker 1: is not important.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 3: As far as like how it should be added to
Speaker 3: the curriculum, okay, you would you like to see, like
Speaker 3: like what would what would the schools do on Juneteenth?
Speaker 3: I know you said fourth of July, July, put the
Speaker 3: color what is the thing, But what is the teach
Speaker 3: the student?
Speaker 2: Why is it important? Give them some strawberry drink or something,
Speaker 2: I don't know what, the full something and watermelon leverage
Speaker 2: something whatever like because those things are associated with Juneteenth.
Speaker 2: That's what they had to celebrate. Y'all need to have
Speaker 2: a cookout at the school I don't know something, do
Speaker 2: something celebrate us because we are such a huge intergral
Speaker 2: part of the fabric of this fucking country, and we're
Speaker 2: just like, Oh, that's a black holiday. Oh that's that
Speaker 2: new black ship. That ain't for us.
Speaker 3: No, it's for you too, because we've been I don't
Speaker 3: want the symbolists. I don't want the I don't want
Speaker 3: want it all.
Speaker 2: I want it all.
Speaker 3: I would prefer actual tangible items. Another holiday is not
Speaker 3: really tangible.
Speaker 2: I want the holiday when it was remember what he said,
Speaker 2: what and either what? No, let's have it all. Why
Speaker 2: should we have to choose one between one or the other.
Speaker 3: I don't want no more pacifiers, all right. I don't
Speaker 3: want to be rocked to sleep. I'm very conscious. I
Speaker 3: know some niggas mean naps. I take my naps. I
Speaker 3: prefer actual tangible items. And I feel like when they
Speaker 3: gave us this holiday, when they gave us because that's
Speaker 3: all they're going to do is give us symbols, symbolization,
Speaker 3: they're actually discarding what it is that we actually need
Speaker 3: to be competitive in this market. Yeah, so we keep it.
Speaker 3: I don't accept I don't accept this. I don't accept it.
Speaker 3: I acknowledge it, but I don't accept it. It's not enough.
Speaker 2: No, it's definitely not enough. It's not enough. I say,
Speaker 2: I want both. Give us the holiday and the money,
Speaker 2: give us for acres and the mule. We want all
Speaker 2: of that, but too we celebrate all this ship that
Speaker 2: don't have nothing to do with us is sitting around Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1: We lost the war. We lost the war.
Speaker 3: So the enemy is now has now been shaping the future.
Speaker 3: That's who we have been allowing to teach our children,
Speaker 3: That's who we've been allowing to feed our people.
Speaker 2: That's who we run the country. That's who we allow
Speaker 2: and vote for to run the country. The same people.
Speaker 2: So I mean, what do you do? You do? You
Speaker 2: know you.
Speaker 3: Have h right now in Charleston, it's a lot of
Speaker 3: city councilmen in the city of North Charleston that they're
Speaker 3: facing prison time.
Speaker 1: And what these niggas did.
Speaker 3: A lot of times black people get into position to
Speaker 3: actually help their community, right to actually be a voice
Speaker 3: of representation for the people, and they get in there
Speaker 3: and they do sline ball shit just like the white
Speaker 3: man does. Because really, ultimately a lot of black people
Speaker 3: just want close proximity to whiteness. They don't want to
Speaker 3: knock all this shit over and start a new and
Speaker 3: that's what we're dealing with. It's a lot of it's
Speaker 3: a lot of black people who get voted in and
Speaker 3: they only do best interest for them in their family,
Speaker 3: I mean one generation of families. White people do sline
Speaker 3: ball shit. They are trying to enrich generations, their entire lineage.
Speaker 3: We only worry about the niggas in the house with us.
Speaker 3: It's a mindset in order in order to change. You
Speaker 3: may not, it's fine. I'm just I gave you an
Speaker 3: example though, right, and we and there's a lot of
Speaker 3: our a lot of other examples of black people who
Speaker 3: get in position of power and they only do things.
Speaker 3: They do the wrong things every fucking time. It's a
Speaker 3: lot of them, okay, from the church to politicians, politicians,
Speaker 3: It's just the truth. Right.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say everybody.
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna make a blanket statement and say everybody,
Speaker 3: but a lot of them, Okay, they don't do the
Speaker 3: right things when we do get in positions of power.
Speaker 3: So it starts with us. We could keep blaming other people.
Speaker 3: We could keep blaming other groups of people.
Speaker 1: We have more power now.
Speaker 3: We have more money now to actually make change, and
Speaker 3: we're not doing it a lot of times, No we're not.
Speaker 3: We're not getting together, unifying and actually doing it. Our
Speaker 3: ancestors in the Civil Rights Union, civil rights movement, and
Speaker 3: a lot of other movements, they had a little bit
Speaker 3: more organization. So people could be mad at Kanye all
Speaker 3: day long. When he says slavery was a choice, I
Speaker 3: don't agree with that, right, But he says slavery he said,
Speaker 3: he said, sounds like a choice. Right. If we don't
Speaker 3: choose slavery, then we are absolutely choosing slavery.
Speaker 2: Now I can't disagree with that. You know, the stuff
Speaker 2: that we just sit back and let ride, Like when
Speaker 2: they started removing all this black history. You know, Tyler
Speaker 2: Perry is just like pop Wars. He spoke on it,
Speaker 2: you know, about how they're erasing our political, our historical
Speaker 2: figures from quietly just removing us, and we just just
Speaker 2: quiet about it. We're just so quiet about it. We
Speaker 2: not care. Are we just only concerned with our like
Speaker 2: you said, our immediate family and our own own immediate needs.
Speaker 2: What do you do when you're behind enemy lines? What
Speaker 2: do you do? Because we can sit here talk about
Speaker 2: you let me finish my thought. We can sit here
Speaker 2: on this podcast and talk about what niggas ain't doing
Speaker 2: right and what they're doing in position, But what are
Speaker 2: we doing? We ain't doing shit, but sitting here talking
Speaker 2: on a podcast. What have you done? What have I so? Nothing?
Speaker 2: So we just talked on.
Speaker 3: Of one of my goals and I know I've mentioned
Speaker 3: it on this podcast, is to actually get involved with politics.
Speaker 3: That's why I go to my city council meetings and
Speaker 3: stuff like that so I can understand what's going on.
Speaker 1: It starts there.
Speaker 3: Just getting involved with your community, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 3: doing some volunteer work, stuff like that, getting to know people,
Speaker 3: getting to understand people's mindsets, get involved with politics. We
Speaker 3: can't continue to be on the sidelines. We can't not
Speaker 3: be involved with who the president is just because we
Speaker 3: don't like them.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: We need to know what the fuck they're in there doing, right,
Speaker 3: so we send people in there to look around and
Speaker 3: check shit out and come back and report.
Speaker 1: We shouldn't be publicly.
Speaker 3: Disparaging them, right, because sometimes you can't always tell the
Speaker 3: left hand what the right hand is doing. Because throughout
Speaker 3: history it has been black people that put us in
Speaker 3: these vulnerable states to get fucked up, conspiring with the other.
Speaker 1: Side, conspiring with conspiring.
Speaker 2: With the enemy.
Speaker 3: We have always been being torn down from within. They
Speaker 3: use one of us to get us every time. So
Speaker 3: that's what I'm saying. It starts with us. We have
Speaker 3: to change our mindset if we want to change change
Speaker 3: the future of our people. We can't be torking in
Speaker 3: the protests and all this bullshit. We are taking nothing serious.
Speaker 3: So the one thing I can do right now is
Speaker 3: one individual right. Because I have a lot of strong
Speaker 3: views on a lot of a lot of things. I
Speaker 3: love my people, I love black people, I love Black people,
Speaker 3: and I just want us to be better. I want
Speaker 3: us to do better collectively.
Speaker 1: But some of these nigga's.
Speaker 3: Gonna have to die. Okay, It's just true. Something everybody
Speaker 3: can't go. This is why Harry Tubman, listen, none of
Speaker 3: us died. I want all of us to go, and.
Speaker 1: Everybody can't go. That is the problem.
Speaker 3: We are not even amongst our people. We're not all
Speaker 3: the same amongst their people. They're not all the same
Speaker 3: amongst every group there are. Everybody not gonna be able
Speaker 3: to go. So so the people who have the wherewithals
Speaker 3: that actually make change. Those are the people we have
Speaker 3: to congregate with and hopefully the others wake up. But
Speaker 3: we will die trying to wake them up. A lot
Speaker 3: of us will die, a lot of us will be
Speaker 3: casualties of war trying to wake them up. The gang community.
Speaker 3: That's our soldiers right there. Like it really like people
Speaker 3: have to actually die for change. First of all, it's
Speaker 3: not gonna come through legislation. It comes to war.
Speaker 1: For real. But we don't have a military. We don't
Speaker 1: be ki ourselves. Now we're telling each other they no
Speaker 1: longer doing it no.
Speaker 2: More, and they're not and we're not willing to make
Speaker 2: the sacrifices. Like like you said, if it costs a
Speaker 2: dollar with Asians, we're gonna pay the dollar versus paying
Speaker 2: the three dollars with our own people. But oftentimes they
Speaker 2: don't be trying to get over on eight people.
Speaker 3: Though there's a fucking place I won't go to here
Speaker 3: because why are y'all charging niggas twenty five dollars for
Speaker 3: a shot of fucking doll whom we can go downtown
Speaker 3: and get that shit for ten dollars, and you know,
Speaker 3: only black people patronize your business. Why are you doing
Speaker 3: that to your people? Why are you price gauging your
Speaker 3: own people. That's another problem in our community. So yeah,
Speaker 3: we should be able to, you know, buy from each other,
Speaker 3: barter whatever it is that we need to do right.
Speaker 3: But we also always try to exploit our people. That
Speaker 3: is that that happens.
Speaker 1: We're not giving niggas discounts, and I don't think black
Speaker 1: you should ask for paying the part.
Speaker 2: God damn, even walk in your establishment. I'm already.
Speaker 1: I remember when we was in Atlanta, we had in your.
Speaker 3: Park to eat, to eat in a storefront bullshit, bullshit.
Speaker 1: Ass please with minimal parking that ship.
Speaker 2: First of all, I know prostitution goes out on outside
Speaker 2: there and I'm paying twenty five dollars apart. Is crazy.
Speaker 3: I mean, we got a lot of work to do,
Speaker 3: That's what I'm saying, And we be worrying about them.
Speaker 3: We need to worry about ourselves. That is though, That
Speaker 3: is that is where it starts. Worry about yourself. Do
Speaker 3: better every day. We have more freedom now to make
Speaker 3: change than we.
Speaker 1: Ever had, and we're just not doing it. That's my point.
Speaker 1: It's us. It's always been us, even when the motherfucking
Speaker 1: showed up at the shores. It was our men that
Speaker 1: conspired with them to fuck us up for many years
Speaker 1: to come. You and your people chilling right, we're living
Speaker 1: on the coast of America, like chilling.
Speaker 3: We got food, water, all this shit, and these pale
Speaker 3: skins pull up.
Speaker 1: We ain't fucking with you. But you know what they did.
Speaker 3: They went to Europe and they came back with some
Speaker 3: black Germans, some black Europeans that look like us, our
Speaker 3: fuck with cousins that helped them fuck us over.
Speaker 1: That's what we are. We are just we are in
Speaker 1: a prison state.
Speaker 3: We are conquered people, so we don't Yeah, doterodomy twenty.
Speaker 1: Eight, y'all can check it out.
Speaker 3: They talking about us and then we we And we
Speaker 3: also have this current administration, all administrations. The way they

Speaker 3: for Patreon, that's for Patreon. I need listen before we
Speaker 3: get off this topic. No, I just want I want
Speaker 3: us to celebrate June teeth.
Speaker 2: Though we got we got way off the top of
Speaker 2: you didn't even really talk about black people celebrating Juneteenth
Speaker 2: this Thursday. When you hear this, do something. If you
Speaker 2: wasn't already planning to celebrate Juneteenth, that is today as
Speaker 2: you're hearing this. If you're hearing it on Thursday, you know,

Speaker 3: trying to change. Get involved with your local politicians, your

Speaker 3: the president and see right, So you can get involved
Speaker 3: if y'all actually.
