WEBVTT - We Grown Now 0:00:00.160 --> 0:00:02.599 People may not like this, with everything that's going wrong 0:00:02.640 --> 0:00:06.920 in your life is not your parents' fault. 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:08.959 I mean, when you look at the lifespan of the 0:00:09.000 --> 0:00:11.600 time that you spend in your parents' household, that's only 0:00:11.640 --> 0:00:14.600 a small percentage of life. So at what point do 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:16.120 we start to take accountability? 0:00:18.600 --> 0:00:19.200 Dead Ass? 0:00:21.120 --> 0:00:24.240 It all started with real talk, unfiltered, honest and straight 0:00:24.280 --> 0:00:26.279 from the heart. Since then, we've gone on to become 0:00:26.320 --> 0:00:29.760 Webby award winning podcasters in New York Times bestselling authors. 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:31.800 Dead Ass was more than a podcast for us. 0:00:32.159 --> 0:00:34.600 It was about our growth, a place where we could 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:35.559 be vulnerable, be. 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:38.640 Wraw or but most apportly be us. 0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:41.559 But as we know, life keeps evolving and so do we, 0:00:41.680 --> 0:00:45.159 and through it all, one thing has never changed. This 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:49.720 is ever after because we got a lot to talk about. 0:00:50.280 --> 0:00:56.960 Story time time of conversation. Oh this story time is 0:00:57.000 --> 0:01:00.120 a I guess it's a mutual story because this was 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:04.560 about three months ago. It it was about three months ago. 0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:07.759 Everything was happening with Dad. You had just got done 0:01:07.760 --> 0:01:10.399 filming and Kadeen and I were sitting in a room 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:12.600 and we were having a discussion. It wasn't a heated discussion, 0:01:12.600 --> 0:01:14.200 but it was a discussion about some things we can 0:01:14.200 --> 0:01:17.120 do better for each other. Right while having this discussion, 0:01:17.240 --> 0:01:23.080 Kay said to me, Yo, I just realized I've been 0:01:23.240 --> 0:01:26.280 with you longer than i've lived in my parents' house. 0:01:26.600 --> 0:01:27.760 Oh yeah, do you remember that? 0:01:28.600 --> 0:01:30.360 And we started doing the math and I'm like, wait 0:01:30.360 --> 0:01:33.600 a minute, We've been together twenty four years and you've 0:01:33.600 --> 0:01:37.360 only lived with your parents for eighteen years. So now 0:01:37.400 --> 0:01:39.039 we started looking at each other's like, at what point 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.440 do we start saying like the reason why we are 0:01:41.520 --> 0:01:43.160 the way we are is because. 0:01:42.800 --> 0:01:45.840 Of us, right, good or bad? 0:01:46.000 --> 0:01:47.920 Good or bad? But it was in that moment we 0:01:47.960 --> 0:01:49.520 looked at each other and was like, yo, you really 0:01:49.560 --> 0:01:52.280 don't have a lot of time with your children. And 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.200 then we started to think about Jackson. 0:01:54.920 --> 0:01:56.440 And I was like, yes, that's it. 0:01:58.000 --> 0:01:59.560 That's when the tears started. 0:02:00.160 --> 0:02:03.360 Just second, it's almost time, But not in. 0:02:03.360 --> 0:02:05.800 That moment we're having a discussion. We realize that we've 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:08.200 already been together longer than we lived with our parents. 0:02:09.080 --> 0:02:12.440 So we are who we are because of us, and 0:02:12.440 --> 0:02:17.240 it's time to start doing things differently. All right, we're back. 0:02:18.040 --> 0:02:21.000 Well we didn't go nowhere, but you know, karaoke time 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:25.720 keeping in theme with MJ. This one is very near 0:02:25.720 --> 0:02:28.240 and dear to my heart because my dad used to 0:02:28.240 --> 0:02:32.000 sing the wrong words to this all the time, so 0:02:32.040 --> 0:02:34.600 I'm going to make sure I sing them properly. 0:02:35.320 --> 0:02:35.760 I love this. 0:02:35.919 --> 0:02:38.799 This is like one of the earliest memories and conversations 0:02:38.840 --> 0:02:39.400 with your dad. 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:42.079 But also I'm going to sing this because this has 0:02:42.120 --> 0:02:44.760 a direct correlation to what we talk about with parents 0:02:45.320 --> 0:02:50.239 and how they shape who we are. You ready, then 0:02:50.960 --> 0:02:54.400 the two of us need look normal. 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:01.280 We booth what we been looking for. 0:03:05.160 --> 0:03:17.680 The friendicle man, I'll never be alone and learn my 0:03:18.000 --> 0:03:22.880 friend will see you've got a friending me. 0:03:23.720 --> 0:03:29.800 You got a friending me. Shout out to Ben and 0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:32.000 my man Michael Jackson. The reason why I chose this 0:03:32.080 --> 0:03:32.480 song is. 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:35.080 Because that's a song that came to mind with school. 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:37.040 Song. 0:03:37.120 --> 0:03:38.760 But I wasn't it was the other one. 0:03:38.800 --> 0:03:40.240 You and I must make a pet. 0:03:40.360 --> 0:03:43.440 Yes, that was yeah. My father used to saying. 0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:44.040 I'll be there. 0:03:44.480 --> 0:03:48.240 You and I were made for pair and I used 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:51.000 to be like, what song is that. He was like, 0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.480 it's Michael Jackson. You know you and I were made 0:03:53.480 --> 0:03:55.680 for pair two. I was like, that's not the. 0:03:55.600 --> 0:04:00.400 World and that makes no sense, said it. 0:04:00.320 --> 0:04:04.360 Too, like I said, you and I must make a pack. 0:04:04.600 --> 0:04:08.120 We must bring Salvation back. He said, oh, that could 0:04:08.160 --> 0:04:09.040 be it. 0:04:11.160 --> 0:04:14.320 He said, I said, appear a couple two people in love. 0:04:16.320 --> 0:04:16.919 I remember that. 0:04:17.080 --> 0:04:21.120 Yes, he had the whole reason why. 0:04:21.240 --> 0:04:23.840 But I chose that song because the dialogue happening right 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.800 now in social media with Joe Jackson, and you know, 0:04:28.000 --> 0:04:31.240 it's it's not necessarily split. Like there's a big contingent 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:34.039 of people who are understanding that, you know, Joe was abusive, 0:04:34.520 --> 0:04:36.480 you know, but there are people a lot of elderly 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:38.880 people who are just like That's how things were back then. 0:04:39.520 --> 0:04:42.200 You know, in the sixties and seventies, people ruled with 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.159 an iron fists. The way people punish their kids was 0:04:45.200 --> 0:04:47.400 by giving them beatings and spanking right or even. 0:04:47.240 --> 0:04:49.159 Out of necessity. Like you said, your grandmother used to 0:04:49.160 --> 0:04:51.080 do with you, just to keep you safe. 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:54.000 My grandmother straight told me. Because I asked her once again, 0:04:54.080 --> 0:04:56.040 this goes back to Josh and Matt telling me that 0:04:56.080 --> 0:04:57.880 sometimes I used to just say things too much. I 0:04:57.880 --> 0:05:00.320 asked her, why do we used to get hit for 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.080 doing kid things? Like if I spilled something, why do 0:05:03.200 --> 0:05:04.840 I get hit for it? If I ask a question, 0:05:04.880 --> 0:05:06.680 why do I get hit, and she said to me, 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:11.240 you know where I came from, is it's my responsibility 0:05:11.240 --> 0:05:12.880 to get you back home to your parents. That's what 0:05:12.920 --> 0:05:14.680 she said. She said, you're coming down here to the 0:05:14.680 --> 0:05:17.080 South to stay with me for eight weeks. Right when 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:20.080 I was growing up, if a young black man spoke 0:05:20.120 --> 0:05:22.960 out of turn, looked at someone the wrong way, got loud, 0:05:23.040 --> 0:05:25.280 or got boisterous, he could end up on a tree 0:05:25.680 --> 0:05:28.440 and no one would care. And in her mind she 0:05:28.560 --> 0:05:30.560 was like, I'm going to prevent that so that this switch, 0:05:30.960 --> 0:05:33.760 this flyshwatter, this belt set, whatever it is that I 0:05:33.800 --> 0:05:36.039 have in my hand. If I think that whatever you're 0:05:36.040 --> 0:05:38.080 doing can lead you down the road to destruction, I'm 0:05:38.080 --> 0:05:40.560 gonna pop you for it. And that's just how things 0:05:40.600 --> 0:05:43.480 were back then. Of course we evolved as humans and 0:05:43.480 --> 0:05:46.000 not I understand that, but I still love my grandmother 0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:48.720 for raising me that way. Like you can't take away 0:05:48.760 --> 0:05:51.440 like the beatings came with it. I got beat, my cousins, 0:05:51.480 --> 0:05:53.800 my mom and dad got beat. It doesn't make me 0:05:53.839 --> 0:05:56.200 hate my parents. And part of the reason why there's 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:58.680 a discourse on social right now is because they're like, 0:05:59.680 --> 0:06:01.719 was Joe just a person who beat his kids? What 0:06:01.800 --> 0:06:04.000 about the person who taught his kids about business, taught 0:06:04.000 --> 0:06:06.840 his kids about work, ethic and and love, and like, 0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.520 how can we never see those things of Joe? And 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:11.520 there's the continue that's like, well he was abusive, that's 0:06:11.560 --> 0:06:14.240 all it is. And that one I wanted for that 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:16.839 reason to talk about. At what point do we stop 0:06:16.920 --> 0:06:19.840 blaming our parents and start saying that, you know, we 0:06:19.920 --> 0:06:22.280 ask for grace as kids, when are we going to 0:06:22.360 --> 0:06:23.799 give our parents the same grace? 0:06:24.440 --> 0:06:26.400 A good question. All right, we'll dive into it. Let's 0:06:26.400 --> 0:06:27.240 take a quick break. 0:06:27.520 --> 0:06:29.359 We're going to do our op or no op, and 0:06:29.400 --> 0:06:31.719 then we'll talk about all that. 0:06:32.440 --> 0:06:33.440 All right, we'll be back. 0:06:36.400 --> 0:06:38.640 All right, we're back. We're going to go back to 0:06:38.680 --> 0:06:39.880 trouble right now, real quick. 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:40.120 Let me. 0:06:45.480 --> 0:06:52.960 Speaking of beatings and paddles, Josh, what you you I 0:06:53.000 --> 0:06:54.600 know that's part of it. 0:06:54.720 --> 0:06:56.280 It's part of a lot of organizations. 0:06:56.680 --> 0:06:58.719 Well I'm asking you because you're the only one that's 0:06:58.720 --> 0:07:02.480 Greek delta. Oh you are a delta, that's right, But 0:07:02.800 --> 0:07:03.520 I don't noticed it. 0:07:04.440 --> 0:07:04.760 Did they? 0:07:04.760 --> 0:07:07.560 Beat is a non hazing organization? 0:07:09.240 --> 0:07:09.960 Is it? Yeah? 0:07:11.000 --> 0:07:11.560 Wasn't that way? 0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:14.320 We was going to hospital blow nobody's spot. 0:07:14.560 --> 0:07:16.320 It's always been like that it has. 0:07:17.240 --> 0:07:20.960 Maybe that's why they were not forgetting. It's not even 0:07:20.960 --> 0:07:25.000 worth going. But I do want to ask the beating. Well, 0:07:25.040 --> 0:07:27.000 you said so there was no hazing going on. 0:07:27.080 --> 0:07:28.320 No, we're not allowed to hate. 0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:31.280 That's what's up though, that's actually what's up. I think 0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:35.040 hazing is ship bro like in football. They used to 0:07:35.040 --> 0:07:36.960 hate people in football. I never took part of it. 0:07:37.000 --> 0:07:39.840 I never You were never on the giver or receiving 0:07:39.920 --> 0:07:40.160 end of. 0:07:40.320 --> 0:07:42.600 Now we're beating people and stuff like that. No taping 0:07:42.600 --> 0:07:44.600 people lockers and stuff like that. Yeah, you could tape 0:07:44.640 --> 0:07:45.440 somebody's lock. 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:48.480 Right, exactly. 0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:52.360 Hazing now, I wasn't with physically harmful people. That's kind of. 0:07:52.400 --> 0:07:53.440 Terrible, insane. 0:07:54.120 --> 0:07:57.440 Wow, that was the easiest I've ever diverted that kind of. 0:08:00.760 --> 0:08:01.320 Seriously. 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.760 Have y'all seen Drewski's latest skit. I haven't by the 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:10.880 time this episode comes out of a couple weeks off. 0:08:11.800 --> 0:08:12.840 Yes, he just did. 0:08:13.480 --> 0:08:13.920 I heard it. 0:08:14.440 --> 0:08:16.480 My wife was watching it, so I heard it, but 0:08:16.520 --> 0:08:18.720 I didn't watch it. But I know he was talking. 0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:21.120 About the floor after Erica Kirk I have. 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:23.800 He can't even talk about that. 0:08:23.920 --> 0:08:28.360 She's sending cease and decision to anybody who mentions her 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:32.360 or her name in any way. There was a guy 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:35.560 on there's a guy on Instagram. He does like kind 0:08:35.559 --> 0:08:38.360 of musical style songs that are funny, and he did 0:08:38.400 --> 0:08:41.640 one about Erica Kirk where he said Erica Kirk stupidest 0:08:41.679 --> 0:08:43.000 furk and they sent him. 0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:46.400 A a ceason desist. But anyway, that's not what we're 0:08:46.400 --> 0:08:46.960 talking about. 0:08:47.520 --> 0:08:50.160 Uh, We're talking about Drewski's latest skit where he plays 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:56.480 a character called Samson Dubois, a British actor who plays 0:08:56.520 --> 0:08:59.200 black American roles. The first role that he portrayed was 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:01.120 enslave person. 0:09:02.440 --> 0:09:03.360 And they're in the field. 0:09:03.400 --> 0:09:05.640 He's talking to who I would assumes his wife, and 0:09:05.679 --> 0:09:07.240 his wife was like, you said, you're gonna get us 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:09.520 out of here, and he's like, quit talking like that. 0:09:11.320 --> 0:09:16.679 And it's the funniest ship I've ever seen. If Drewski 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:20.400 is an anthropologist, at this point, he is documenting American 0:09:20.559 --> 0:09:22.640 history and. 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:23.640 He's doing such a great job. 0:09:24.040 --> 0:09:27.480 Also, I wanted to point out he must have an 0:09:27.640 --> 0:09:29.640 enormous budget for these budgets. 0:09:29.640 --> 0:09:34.040 For them, He's got a sound studio. 0:09:34.320 --> 0:09:36.320 NASCAR stuff. There's no way that budget. 0:09:36.600 --> 0:09:41.199 It's crazy. I will say this though, shout out to 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:44.120 drew Ski, but also shout out to Robert Townsend, who 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:47.360 was the first one to talk about British actors taking 0:09:47.400 --> 0:09:50.240 American black actors' roles, and he literally did the same 0:09:50.440 --> 0:09:53.400 exact skit where he was talking about at this time 0:09:53.400 --> 0:09:55.800 it was different. He was like, they teach you how 0:09:55.840 --> 0:09:59.280 to speak jive and he had the funny thing is 0:09:59.280 --> 0:10:03.920 he had white teachers teaching black British actors how to 0:10:03.960 --> 0:10:07.160 speak Black American jib, and that, to me was the 0:10:07.200 --> 0:10:09.360 comedy is that, wait a minute, so you don't even 0:10:09.400 --> 0:10:13.199 have black people teaching black British black actors how to 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:17.120 speak jive. You have white people teaching black British actors 0:10:17.120 --> 0:10:19.440 how to speak jib. And it was like, what's up, 0:10:19.520 --> 0:10:25.160 job when you're coming around here these sparks job tricky 0:10:25.240 --> 0:10:27.439 and it was like, dang, Like here we are thirty 0:10:27.480 --> 0:10:31.640 years later and it's the same exact ding, same exactly. 0:10:31.640 --> 0:10:33.680 I thought it was brilliant. I thought it was hilarious. 0:10:33.720 --> 0:10:34.600 I thought it was brilliant. 0:10:34.920 --> 0:10:37.440 The part that stood out to me the most was 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:40.840 the very last thing he said, yes, and they're like, 0:10:40.880 --> 0:10:42.160 do you think you're better than people? 0:10:42.240 --> 0:10:43.640 He's like, what people? Black people? 0:10:44.000 --> 0:10:44.200 Yeah? 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.400 Because this is a black man. So I thought that 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:53.840 was funny. I think he's brilliant, But what did the 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:54.520 rest of y'all think? 0:10:55.440 --> 0:10:57.880 I thought, I love I want to see him and 0:10:57.960 --> 0:10:59.199 David Chappelle collapse. 0:10:59.760 --> 0:11:02.640 Yeah, wow, yeah, yeah. 0:11:02.640 --> 0:11:04.199 I haven't seen the video, but I did pumping to 0:11:04.240 --> 0:11:06.800 Drew Ski on a flight back home from somewhere I 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.240 forget where I was coming from, and I literally didn't 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.760 see him sitting there behind me, but I picked up 0:11:12.760 --> 0:11:14.720 my phone to FaceTime you I think it was, and 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:16.640 he put I saw somebody put their face in my 0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:19.080 camera from behind me, and I was like, and I 0:11:19.080 --> 0:11:20.400 looked behind, I'm like, d. 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:25.040 He's like it was just the funniest thing. But he 0:11:25.160 --> 0:11:27.679 was just being himself in that moment. So I was like, 0:11:27.720 --> 0:11:29.319 can I call my son real quick? I became that 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:31.480 person because people would meet us and be like, can 0:11:31.520 --> 0:11:32.480 I call my moham real quick? 0:11:32.520 --> 0:11:34.920 To facetimer, So I was like, Drew, I called myself. 0:11:34.920 --> 0:11:37.200 He's like him call them And the FaceTime with Jackson. 0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:38.439 Jackson's like, Mom, You're the. 0:11:38.440 --> 0:11:40.120 Goat for them. 0:11:40.160 --> 0:11:43.800 So many goat moments as a mother. Juicy Steph Curry. 0:11:43.600 --> 0:11:46.360 Met him at Draymond Greens whatever you met. I met 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:48.360 Michael Jackson back in the day. 0:11:48.800 --> 0:11:50.880 Wow lost the autograph. 0:11:51.280 --> 0:11:53.200 I lost it. We found out, we found it. I 0:11:53.240 --> 0:11:55.280 have it and where mom found it? 0:11:55.360 --> 0:11:56.400 Somewhere to go. 0:11:56.920 --> 0:11:58.080 Yeah, me and me found it to go. 0:11:58.320 --> 0:12:01.840 I will say that if I was straight, Drew Ski 0:12:01.960 --> 0:12:03.320 is my type. 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:05.560 I love a. 0:12:05.360 --> 0:12:08.120 Big, silly ass dude. I could see that. 0:12:08.160 --> 0:12:08.640 I love. 0:12:11.000 --> 0:12:11.440 Big Teddy. 0:12:11.720 --> 0:12:13.400 I was going to say the same thing. I can 0:12:13.440 --> 0:12:17.440 see because you. 0:12:17.559 --> 0:12:21.400 Like to cook, Come on trip, come over. 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:25.440 To the. 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:27.240 I wish I could, but as soon as I smell 0:12:27.320 --> 0:12:29.160 a man, I'd be like, that's disgusting. 0:12:30.320 --> 0:12:31.320 Get the funk away from me. 0:12:31.440 --> 0:12:34.120 He can wear perfume, it's not gonna work. 0:12:34.200 --> 0:12:35.199 It's the pheromones. 0:12:35.320 --> 0:12:38.160 Yeah. 0:12:38.400 --> 0:12:42.080 Here's the second thing. Somebody sent me this video last 0:12:42.160 --> 0:12:45.480 night of this creator who had found the CEO of 0:12:45.520 --> 0:12:50.800 the Heritage Foundation and Project twenty twenty five. He got 0:12:50.840 --> 0:12:54.920 his pH d in history with a focus on African 0:12:54.960 --> 0:13:00.640 American history, and he wrote his dissertation about the evolution 0:13:00.720 --> 0:13:04.719 of Atlantic World identities, slaves and slavery in Louisiana, where 0:13:04.720 --> 0:13:11.240 he focused on how slaves in Louisiana managed descent, their 0:13:11.320 --> 0:13:15.480 family structures, and how they the role of the Catholic 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:19.160 Church in their descent and in families. Something interesting that 0:13:19.280 --> 0:13:24.439 I found in his dissertation is how he had found 0:13:24.520 --> 0:13:29.160 that enslaved families were matrofocal, or their communities were matrofocal, 0:13:29.200 --> 0:13:31.000 meaning that the women were kind of the. 0:13:30.920 --> 0:13:32.160 Focal point in the communities. 0:13:32.760 --> 0:13:35.680 And that is probably because of the same reason that 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:39.280 black families are matrifocal now is because men are often 0:13:39.320 --> 0:13:43.120 taken away, sold off, killed, you know, imprisoned. 0:13:44.200 --> 0:13:47.920 But the bigger thing here is how. 0:13:47.840 --> 0:13:54.120 This research directly affects projects between twenty five and the 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:59.880 goals of the Heritage Foundation, the Radical Rights, the Christian 0:14:00.800 --> 0:14:05.880 Evangelists movement. Yeah, so I'm wondering what do you all think, 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:11.600 because my opinion it's kind of I can't really form 0:14:11.640 --> 0:14:14.880 a complete idea of how I think these things relate. 0:14:14.960 --> 0:14:16.079 But I'm wanting to know what you do. 0:14:16.280 --> 0:14:18.720 This is how I think these things relate. Right, You 0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:20.480 ever see the meme that says, why are they so 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:24.720 interested in us? Why are white supremacists? And now I 0:14:24.760 --> 0:14:27.720 have to be clear with white supremacists, not all white people, 0:14:28.120 --> 0:14:31.720 white supremacists, why are they so involved in what's happening 0:14:31.720 --> 0:14:34.960 in the black community? The only way you can disenfranchise 0:14:35.120 --> 0:14:38.440 and marginalize people is if you know and you study them. 0:14:39.080 --> 0:14:41.920 He graduated with a focus in African American studies so 0:14:42.000 --> 0:14:45.280 that he can take a part the Civil Rights Act. 0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.480 That was the whole focus. All right, and this is 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:50.800 my This is how I'm able to come to terms 0:14:50.800 --> 0:14:53.480 with what goes on with white supremacists. Not all white people. 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:58.480 White supremacists thrive off of having that power. Right, if 0:14:58.560 --> 0:15:01.480 you're a black supremacist, do you want to give power 0:15:01.520 --> 0:15:04.440 away to anybody? No? So if you're a white supremacist 0:15:04.480 --> 0:15:06.240 and you have the power, your goal is to now 0:15:06.280 --> 0:15:08.720 do what make sure that my kids stay in the 0:15:08.760 --> 0:15:12.240 same power that I have, and then my kids kids. 0:15:12.600 --> 0:15:16.360 That's what we're seeing now. We're watching a group of people, 0:15:16.560 --> 0:15:19.360 and all white people are not all white supremacists, but 0:15:19.440 --> 0:15:22.080 the white supremacists who are in charge of what's going 0:15:22.120 --> 0:15:25.440 on now are utilizing the laws of the land, utilizing 0:15:25.440 --> 0:15:28.720 the Constitution, and utilizing any trick in the book that 0:15:28.760 --> 0:15:32.120 they can to take resources from us. That's what they've 0:15:32.280 --> 0:15:36.240 always done. Like, this is not a new playbook, it's 0:15:36.280 --> 0:15:38.600 not this is what they've always done. I think us 0:15:39.160 --> 0:15:42.240 as black people have to start utilizing the same playbook 0:15:42.840 --> 0:15:44.280 we have to you know, how to Back in the day, 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:46.000 they said, why would you ever sit down and speak 0:15:46.040 --> 0:15:49.560 to a white supremacist. You sit down and speak to 0:15:49.600 --> 0:15:51.800 them to understand where their mentality is coming from. What 0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.880 are you planning? They told us what Project twenty twenty 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.080 five was, and so many people just disregarded it as 0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:01.680 not real. And now we're watching every single thing that 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.400 they said they were going to do. They're dismantling their watching, 0:16:04.800 --> 0:16:07.880 they're doing it. They're giving us the information. So you 0:16:07.920 --> 0:16:10.760 know what we should do, get the playbook so that 0:16:10.800 --> 0:16:12.760 we can fight against it. Yeah, and I'm not just 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:15.520 talking about black pantol about old people, because not everybody 0:16:15.880 --> 0:16:19.920 is a white supremacist now. 0:16:20.400 --> 0:16:24.280 Yes, However, one part of this that this creator pointed 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:30.040 out was how these enslaved people managed to rally around descent. 0:16:30.400 --> 0:16:32.960 So one way that they would get together and talk about, 0:16:33.160 --> 0:16:35.800 you know, how to get free, basically is by going 0:16:35.840 --> 0:16:39.080 to like town markets or having a dinner basically like 0:16:39.240 --> 0:16:39.800 a cookout. 0:16:39.840 --> 0:16:41.800 And everybody's not invited to the cookout. 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:45.160 And so what I thought about in terms of that 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:48.760 is how social media has invited everybody to the cookout. 0:16:48.760 --> 0:16:52.880 When it comes to black descent. During the twenty twenty four. 0:16:52.800 --> 0:16:56.720 Election cycle, there was a lot of uh like anti 0:16:56.800 --> 0:17:00.160 Kamala Harris rhetoric happening, even though we all knew that 0:17:00.200 --> 0:17:04.639 the only other alternative was Donald Trump. And to me, 0:17:04.840 --> 0:17:07.840 the reason why Kamala Harris didn't get elected is because 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:13.639 this Kamala Harris like descent spread like wildfire, because of 0:17:13.720 --> 0:17:17.560 white leftists who do not have the same experience in 0:17:17.640 --> 0:17:21.600 America as Black people, actually impoverished people, as marginalized people, 0:17:21.880 --> 0:17:25.240 those people being so anti Kamala Harris absolutely and living 0:17:25.240 --> 0:17:27.679 in a dream world about what would happen, you know, 0:17:27.720 --> 0:17:30.320 if Kamala Harris didn't win, as if anybody else besides 0:17:30.359 --> 0:17:33.280 Donald Trump could win. And so I think that that 0:17:33.440 --> 0:17:36.679 is a huge part of Project twenty twenty five and 0:17:36.760 --> 0:17:39.720 the goals of the Heritage Foundation and the Radical Right 0:17:40.119 --> 0:17:47.600 is to allow the infiltration of other ideas into Black 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:51.359 descent using the Internet, using like anti black rhetoric, that 0:17:51.600 --> 0:17:55.639 is guys as leftist ideals. I feel like that is 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.160 a huge, huge part of it in them, in them 0:17:58.200 --> 0:18:00.760 trying to figure out how to dismantle black descent and 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.280 how to squash black descent a lot of that comes 0:18:03.280 --> 0:18:03.720 into play. 0:18:04.040 --> 0:18:05.920 What you just talked about is one hundred percent correct. 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:08.359 The reason how you squash black descent is by creating 0:18:08.359 --> 0:18:12.760 little pockets amongst the black people and separating all black people. First, 0:18:12.800 --> 0:18:15.000 you start by separating the family, right, you pull the 0:18:15.080 --> 0:18:17.600 dads out of the house. Then you tell moms that 0:18:17.640 --> 0:18:20.240 you don't need fathers in the home. Then you tell 0:18:20.280 --> 0:18:22.239 the dads that the moms said that they don't need 0:18:22.320 --> 0:18:24.359 yelling at home, and you create dissension in the house. 0:18:24.720 --> 0:18:27.200 Once you've created dissension in the house, you create dissension 0:18:27.240 --> 0:18:29.960 amongst the kids. Right. You get access through the kids, 0:18:29.960 --> 0:18:32.800 through the moms, and then you start to indoctrinate the 0:18:32.840 --> 0:18:33.720 kids through school. 0:18:36.400 --> 0:18:38.040 The foundation, which should be the family. 0:18:38.080 --> 0:18:40.120 And then once you separate those people, so now it's 0:18:40.119 --> 0:18:42.560 not just black people, it's black men and women. Then 0:18:42.560 --> 0:18:46.200 it's black LGBT, then it's black trands. Now there's now 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:49.320 there's black Christians, then there's black atheists. You create all 0:18:49.320 --> 0:18:52.920 these different subgroups, you create dissension between them, and now 0:18:52.960 --> 0:18:54.840 once it comes time for us to band together, it's like, 0:18:54.840 --> 0:18:57.040 how could I How could I band with her? She's 0:18:57.080 --> 0:18:59.840 an atheist? You know what I'm saying he's he's LGBTQ, 0:19:01.240 --> 0:19:03.920 she doesn't believe in science, just like guys. You realize 0:19:03.920 --> 0:19:07.000 that all they're trying to do is weaken our voice 0:19:07.400 --> 0:19:09.760 so that we don't have a vote, and it's working. 0:19:10.119 --> 0:19:12.399 And somebody in the comments that this video made a 0:19:12.440 --> 0:19:15.760 really great point that the black gender wars that are 0:19:15.760 --> 0:19:19.520 happening on social media are part of this plan. 0:19:19.640 --> 0:19:22.520 Absolutely as It's so true because I even talked to 0:19:22.560 --> 0:19:24.280 my sister and other people who I know who are 0:19:24.320 --> 0:19:26.800 single in the dating feeling, just like, you know, guys 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.359 are doing this and black men are doing that, and 0:19:28.359 --> 0:19:28.800 black women. 0:19:28.880 --> 0:19:30.520 I'm like, where are y'all getting these from? 0:19:30.640 --> 0:19:33.320 Because if you're living in real life, there's so many 0:19:33.359 --> 0:19:36.840 people who I know, for example, that are eligible bachelors 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:40.840 and bachelorettes that are now fed this rhetoric. And then 0:19:40.880 --> 0:19:43.440 it's like, where are we looking to even like coexist 0:19:43.440 --> 0:19:44.840 with each other just on social media? 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:47.320 Yeah, well, did you see the whole report about them 0:19:47.760 --> 0:19:50.000
