You know how we do. 6 00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: We are going to talk about some white people ship 7 00:00:52,760 --> 00:00:58,640 Speaker 1: that we never thought in a million years that we 8 00:00:58,720 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: would be interested and more than that that we would 9 00:01:02,080 --> 00:01:09,960 Speaker 1: love it. Okay, okay, Well, I am immediately of the 10 00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:13,320 Speaker 1: thinking that none of this is actually white people ship 11 00:01:13,360 --> 00:01:16,000 Speaker 1: at all. That I would I venture to say out 12 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,840 Speaker 1: of the box that of the stuff we're gonna talk 13 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:22,640 Speaker 1: about today, maybe even ninety originated with the blacks to 14 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,720 Speaker 1: begin with, because it all started with us, because it 15 00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: all the black can we can we add as we 16 00:01:29,680 --> 00:01:31,800 Speaker 1: do this list? Can we analyze? And really decided to 17 00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: start with the blacks? I like that. I like it 18 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: to Let's go forth. Who want to go first? Oh? Okay, 19 00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:42,319 Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep it simple. I got a couple of 20 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 1: these things. Okay, okay, So the first one is JACUZI 21 00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:54,160 Speaker 1: outside in the winter. I don't know if that's black 22 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:57,920 Speaker 1: people ship. You know, let's let's discuss that's that's that's 23 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:04,840 Speaker 1: that's definitely not that's not black. Hai hai. However, however, 24 00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:10,959 Speaker 1: what I will say is that black people don't fun 25 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:14,560 Speaker 1: with the cold. So we're gonna figure out a way 26 00:02:14,680 --> 00:02:20,280 Speaker 1: to bring the summer situation into the winter situation at 27 00:02:20,320 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 1: some point. Let me say this, going skiing, let's start 28 00:02:25,760 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 1: off with the Poconotes. That's that's, that's level C. Let's 29 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:36,079 Speaker 1: just go through the level C entry level skiing, snowmobiling 30 00:02:36,120 --> 00:02:40,120 Speaker 1: on that. I saw every now and then some some 31 00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,280 Speaker 1: white folks outside in the baby and suits. I said, 32 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: these people are nuts. They are out of their entire 33 00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: minds for being outside. First of all, in the cold. 34 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,240 Speaker 1: It's freezing cold, it's snow on the ground. Stupid. That 35 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,120 Speaker 1: was my opinion. Have you done that thing that rich 36 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: white people do? Have you gone to? Where is that 37 00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,960 Speaker 1: in Ireland or Scotland where it's like snow and then 38 00:03:00,040 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: people jump into the warm springs. This is like a 39 00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:05,840 Speaker 1: thing where there's like stars in the sky that you've 40 00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,880 Speaker 1: never seen before. What is this place called? So, Willie, 41 00:03:09,960 --> 00:03:12,799 Speaker 1: this is a rich people ship. We're talking about black people, 42 00:03:13,040 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: but that's rich white. That's a rich white remix. This 43 00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,920 Speaker 1: is where I am with it. Okay, that's where I 44 00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:23,640 Speaker 1: am with it, all right. So level a Aspen, going 45 00:03:23,680 --> 00:03:25,960 Speaker 1: to Aspen and seeing all of these white folks in 46 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:31,880 Speaker 1: this jacuzy outside, it's it's for reason we walked by them. 47 00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,520 Speaker 1: We got on coats and hats and scars with gloves 48 00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: and long times and and all of it, just trying 49 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:41,000 Speaker 1: to stay warm, handwarmers, warmers in our shoes because we 50 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:43,160 Speaker 1: were black and it we used to being warm, or 51 00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:45,720 Speaker 1: want to be so we don't know much about this. 52 00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:50,960 Speaker 1: I talked more ship than a little bit about these 53 00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:55,040 Speaker 1: crazy fools.

Can I 392 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:16,919 Speaker 1: say that in this conversation. Another thing that came up 393 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:18,800 Speaker 1: between the two what you guys just said that I 394 00:27:18,840 --> 00:27:20,680 Speaker 1: noticed that fun things that white people do the black 395 00:27:20,720 --> 00:27:24,119 Speaker 1: people might not do. White people explore their cities that 396 00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:28,040 Speaker 1: they live at, and a white people knew about the 397 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 1: the Hicking Trail. No shade to you, to you Asia, 398 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: because the white no, don't know You're right Hick Trail. 399 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:38,199 Speaker 1: So I'm like, but people seem to really know the 400 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:41,240 Speaker 1: intricacies of their towns, like the fun things. I don't know. 401 00:27:41,280 --> 00:27:44,879 Speaker 1: It's weird. Well, no, I mean you're right. I accept that. 402 00:27:45,040 --> 00:27:47,200 Speaker 1: I know that I do get into a comfort zone 403 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,760 Speaker 1: with my space and with you know, where I where 404 00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 1: I live. I like my little coffee shop, I like 405 00:27:53,440 --> 00:27:56,040 Speaker 1: my little this and my little dad, and I'm really 406 00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:58,600 Speaker 1: comfortable in my in my neighborhood, and forget that the 407 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:02,199 Speaker 1: city is as big as it is, and you know, 408 00:28:02,280 --> 00:28:04,560 Speaker 1: you venture other places and you're like, oh wow, this 409 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,960 Speaker 1: is really nice or this restaurant or this little shopping 410 00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,040 Speaker 1: district or this kind of thing. You're absolutely right. But 411 00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:12,680 Speaker 1: I will say this much. One thing that helped me 412 00:28:12,720 --> 00:28:15,680 Speaker 1: to see the city more was supporting black businesses because 413 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:18,200 Speaker 1: there's no black business district and if you go out 414 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,199 Speaker 1: of your way to support black businesses, you end up 415 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,440 Speaker 1: going all over the city. Here. Here, that's a good 416 00:28:22,440 --> 00:28:25,480 Speaker 1: way to see the city. That's actually, that's nice. We've 417 00:28:25,520 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 1: just been able. There's there's more um, you know, luxury 418 00:28:30,520 --> 00:28:35,280 Speaker 1: finance than we've ever had, and there's more desire to 419 00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:39,080 Speaker 1: get off the black than there ever was. You know, 420 00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,480 Speaker 1: even if you go back to the block just to 421 00:28:41,720 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: go outside of it and expand you know, is now 422 00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:49,720 Speaker 1: a real desire. And I think that's who's up. I 423 00:28:49,760 --> 00:28:54,120 Speaker 1: think y'all think that social media and people being able 424 00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:57,440 Speaker 1: to like see others travel and do their things as 425 00:28:57,440 --> 00:29:02,560 Speaker 1: your fire folks to kind of you know, spread their way. Yeah, 426 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:04,680 Speaker 1: I mean, we didn't have a travel noir. You know 427 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,880 Speaker 1: what I'm saying now, we have a website where we 428 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 1: can just find out about all aspects of black travel 429 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,360 Speaker 1: around the world. Like that's amazing, and you can actually 430 00:29:12,360 --> 00:29:16,000 Speaker 1: see black people at a Safari travel group. There are 431 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:18,960 Speaker 1: black travel groups now, like they all over Facebook like 432 00:29:19,400 --> 00:29:21,080 Speaker 1: and that that would just be my dream, like just 433 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,320 Speaker 1: to get black people to lead a country, you know, 434 00:29:23,440 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: and and black kids to be able to lead a country. 435 00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:27,320 Speaker 1: So because once you leave the country and you see 436 00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:29,240 Speaker 1: other things, you want to go somewhere else next with 437 00:29:29,320 --> 00:29:30,920 Speaker 1: my next place, Well, how am I gonna do it? 438 00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,160 Speaker 1: I gotta work a little harder. I gotta pay attention 439 00:29:33,160 --> 00:29:36,520 Speaker 1: to school. I mean that's that's that is true. And 440 00:29:36,760 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: once you get outside of your block, you know what 441 00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 1: I mean that, So once you get out of the 442 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,000 Speaker 1: side of your block, the more you see, the more 443 00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:45,160 Speaker 1: you want to do. The more you do, the more 444 00:29:45,200 --> 00:29:59,320 Speaker 1: you want to That's just the way it works. And 445 00:29:59,360 --> 00:30:01,960 Speaker 1: all tho you have a thing, there's a thing where 446 00:30:03,080 --> 00:30:06,840 Speaker 1: black folks just what's available to us. Sometimes we just 447 00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:10,160 Speaker 1: don't feel comfortable in places. And that's just that white 448 00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,480 Speaker 1: gaye thing where we're feel uncomfortable going to places we 449 00:30:13,520 --> 00:30:17,479 Speaker 1: think we don't belong there. Um, I've experienced that with 450 00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,240 Speaker 1: my family times when we've taken the kids on certain 451 00:30:20,280 --> 00:30:23,440 Speaker 1: trips or to do something on activity and we're the 452 00:30:23,480 --> 00:30:27,520 Speaker 1: only black family there, and oftentimes we might spend ten 453 00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:31,160 Speaker 1: fifteen minutes talking about it. Finally I put my foot down. 454 00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:32,760 Speaker 1: I was like, I don't want to hear nothing else 455 00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:35,240 Speaker 1: about us seeing the only black people here. I don't 456 00:30:35,240 --> 00:30:36,680 Speaker 1: want to talk about it. I don't even want to 457 00:30:36,680 --> 00:30:39,640 Speaker 1: address it because I'm like, we're so worried about how 458 00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,520 Speaker 1: these white folks are seeing us. We're not even having fun. 459 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,000 Speaker 1: We're not even having fun, Like, forget all of that. 460 00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:48,160 Speaker 1: Stop being worried about where you belong and where you 461 00:30:48,200 --> 00:30:50,480 Speaker 1: don't belong. And this is that another we're joking around, 462 00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 1: But why about what white people do? But at the 463 00:30:52,920 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: end of the day, it's that thing in the back 464 00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:56,880 Speaker 1: of our minds that say things are not for us, 465 00:30:57,440 --> 00:31:00,200 Speaker 1: when it's all when the world is for us, it's 466 00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:03,880 Speaker 1: all for us, And that that was a whole black 467 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: his episode. No, that's that's relative. When I moved my 468 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:11,960 Speaker 1: grandma to Mount Laurel, New Jersey from Lord Philly, she 469 00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:15,080 Speaker 1: she got out the car was a total surprise that 470 00:31:15,200 --> 00:31:18,200 Speaker 1: she was moving. I just told him to pack. I mean, 471 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,080 Speaker 1: they didn't know where they were going, but they you know, 472 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 1: I told him to pack, so they did. And when 473 00:31:22,840 --> 00:31:26,239 Speaker 1: she saw her house and the flowers and everything, and 474 00:31:26,320 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: she said, are they gonna let us stay here? You 475 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:34,520 Speaker 1: know that's that's She's born in nineteen seventeen, you know, 476 00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: so she had seen it's all. She was there for 477 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:42,200 Speaker 1: the thirties and the forties and the fifties and the sixties, 478 00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,160 Speaker 1: you know, the whole gam it. She saw it all. 479 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,760 Speaker 1: So you know, there's still I think a certain amount 480 00:31:48,800 --> 00:31:51,560 Speaker 1: of fear, like you said, Agia, that you're gonna get 481 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:54,520 Speaker 1: somewhere and you're not gonna fit in, or you're they're 482 00:31:54,520 --> 00:31:57,880 Speaker 1: gonna you know, you're gonna feel uncomfortable. Like after a while, 483 00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 1: it started to tickle me that every time I went 484 00:31:59,920 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 1: to ask when they thought I was a nanny, and 485 00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,920 Speaker 1: whose family are you with? I'm with King Joffrey Joffer's family. 486 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 1: Fuck you, That's what I'm with, Like we have to ask. Well, 487 00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,360 Speaker 1: I was just I was just reminder all black fools 488 00:32:19,400 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: that are considering going into these spaces to know that 489 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: everywhere we go, we have labor. And even when they're 490 00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:26,760 Speaker 1: trying to act like you don't they feel it, So 491 00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: enjoy the feeling. You know what I'm saying, I don't mind. Well, 492 00:32:30,440 --> 00:32:32,800 Speaker 1: I don't do this, but I have a girlfriend who 493 00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:37,959 Speaker 1: just ventured into it, and she has um actually meshed 494 00:32:37,960 --> 00:32:43,280 Speaker 1: together this idea of like wellness spaces like yoga into 495 00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:47,440 Speaker 1: like an active resistance. So it's like specifically about creating 496 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:53,600 Speaker 1: yoga specific but all wellness spaces that are geared towards 497 00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:57,960 Speaker 1: black people. And I also follow this page on Instagram 498 00:32:58,040 --> 00:33:01,840 Speaker 1: called the NAP Ministry that now this sounds interesting. The 499 00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:09,880 Speaker 1: NAP Ministry US and she talks about how she has 500 00:33:09,960 --> 00:33:15,200 Speaker 1: created this space to fight capitalism, to fight white supremacy, 501 00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: but mostly she's speaking from a womanist perspective. So even 502 00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 1: though she's never been specific that this wellness space is 503 00:33:23,640 --> 00:33:26,080 Speaker 1: geared towards black people, she's never said, oh, this is 504 00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 1: only for black people. She has centered the black woman 505 00:33:31,320 --> 00:33:36,280 Speaker 1: and her needs as the inspiration for and the voice 506 00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:39,080 Speaker 1: for the space. So I kind of liked the idea 507 00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:44,680 Speaker 1: of you know, and things about wellness resting. Oh my god. 508 00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:50,000 Speaker 1: Her mission we examine the liberating power of naps. We 509 00:33:50,040 --> 00:33:53,240 Speaker 1: believe rest is a form of resistance and reparations we 510 00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:59,240 Speaker 1: installed NAP Experiences. What follow nap? I'm following girl, and 511 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:04,240 Speaker 1: it's my face even placed love being you know what, 512 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:06,960 Speaker 1: it's such an interesting place to be because it's not 513 00:34:07,880 --> 00:34:10,000 Speaker 1: is it? That's the question I'm gonna ask you, ladies. 514 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:14,600 Speaker 1: Um uh is it that we are trying to um 515 00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:21,880 Speaker 1: distance ourselves from everybody else? Or are we trying to 516 00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: celebrate and uplift ourselves. It's the middle of all kinds 517 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,840 Speaker 1: of middles in there, right Talk to me like we 518 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 1: didn't always like it started with what we were talking 519 00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:34,719 Speaker 1: about earlier, about having the access to some of these 520 00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,720 Speaker 1: things that now we're enjoying, right, like not even haven't 521 00:34:38,719 --> 00:34:41,960 Speaker 1: thinking we have the time because of our daily activities. 522 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,879 Speaker 1: And then wait, what was the second option you said, Jill? 523 00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:47,440 Speaker 1: You said the last one you said? Is it distanting 524 00:34:47,600 --> 00:34:54,360 Speaker 1: ourselves or is it uplifting ourselves? Well, I don't know, 525 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:57,600 Speaker 1: because see, for me, I think a certain amount of 526 00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:00,320 Speaker 1: distance is needed in order to heal once self. So 527 00:35:00,760 --> 00:35:04,120 Speaker 1: if we're going through something as an individual, you might 528 00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,239 Speaker 1: decide to sequester yourself just a little bit. Oh, I 529 00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:11,120 Speaker 1: need my space, you know, um, in order to heal, 530 00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,520 Speaker 1: So I need to kind of create a healing space 531 00:35:13,640 --> 00:35:17,960 Speaker 1: for myself first and then invite others into it. So 532 00:35:18,120 --> 00:35:20,120 Speaker 1: I think, yeah, there is a bit of distance that's 533 00:35:20,160 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 1: there that I mean, and I think it's really necessary. 534 00:35:22,320 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 1: But then also the part about uplifting ourselves, uplifting yourself 535 00:35:26,400 --> 00:35:29,040 Speaker 1: also too, and and we just talked about it, talked 536 00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:31,840 Speaker 1: about it in terms of that ministry is the centering 537 00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:34,560 Speaker 1: of oneself. A lot of times, it's not that we 538 00:35:34,560 --> 00:35:36,879 Speaker 1: don't want to share spaces. It's just that we don't 539 00:35:36,920 --> 00:35:40,840 Speaker 1: want to go into a space that um either hasn't 540 00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:44,120 Speaker 1: considered us or it doesn't look at us as normative. 541 00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,000 Speaker 1: So we're always in addition, where the little where the 542 00:35:48,040 --> 00:35:51,160 Speaker 1: sprinkles on top, we would like to be the actual 543 00:35:51,320 --> 00:35:54,799 Speaker 1: ice cream. We would like to normalize us being at 544 00:35:55,040 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 1: the center. Yeah, but I'm just saying I really appreciate 545 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,920 Speaker 1: these thoughts, you know, because is that it's something that 546 00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:05,439 Speaker 1: we should consider if we are just distancing ourselves. Because 547 00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,719 Speaker 1: I know this, I know, I know that if the 548 00:36:09,880 --> 00:36:18,120 Speaker 1: aliens came tomorrow, I don't care who it is that's 549 00:36:18,160 --> 00:36:21,799 Speaker 1: gonna help me, And I don't think anybody would care 550 00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:24,640 Speaker 1: if I were to help them. I think they'd be 551 00:36:24,719 --> 00:36:28,399 Speaker 1: so happy. You know to get some help. Make sure 552 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,120 Speaker 1: you know you're just in the right hands when it's 553 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,880 Speaker 1: time the revolution come to when the aliens come, When 554 00:36:32,880 --> 00:36:35,200 Speaker 1: the aliens come, When the aliens come, they'd be doing 555 00:36:35,320 --> 00:36:37,560 Speaker 1: told they're being told the eliens. All the black people 556 00:36:37,640 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 1: live down now on a knife from Baltimore, go get them. 557 00:36:40,960 --> 00:36:43,560 Speaker 1: Y'all ain't remember Cosmic Slot when they did the episode 558 00:36:43,560 --> 00:36:45,080 Speaker 1: where all the people that were darker than the brown 559 00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:50,120 Speaker 1: paper bag gotta go looking for Cosmic Slot.
