WEBVTT - Ask a black friend with TaylorMade Speaks

0:00:00.880 --> 0:00:11.920
<v Speaker 1>Oh all right, guys, we're back. And I got an

0:00:12.000 --> 0:00:16.680
<v Speaker 1>email and it says, uh, hello, this message is from

0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:23.400
<v Speaker 1>fat Andy. Hi, fat Andy. Um, why do black people

0:00:23.440 --> 0:00:26.840
<v Speaker 1>march when the police kill y'all but not when y'all

0:00:26.920 --> 0:00:32.640
<v Speaker 1>kill each other? Not trying to be funny, but why Taylor,

0:00:32.680 --> 0:00:39.000
<v Speaker 1>what's your thoughts? Well? I think that? Um hm, I

0:00:39.040 --> 0:00:41.239
<v Speaker 1>think that. Um. I think that when when when the

0:00:41.280 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>police kill us, it's it's something in history, right, um.

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:48.400
<v Speaker 1>And so history history when it deals with racism, We've

0:00:48.400 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 1>been dealing with that court a long time, right, and

0:00:52.880 --> 0:00:55.880
<v Speaker 1>so from monthly the king time we marched, from the

0:00:55.960 --> 0:00:59.400
<v Speaker 1>church time, we march. I think that with with with

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:04.760
<v Speaker 1>anything in life, right, Um, when your own do it

0:01:04.840 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>to you, although it's wrong, but it's a little more accepted.

0:01:10.720 --> 0:01:13.560
<v Speaker 1>M You see what I'm saying. I think that, and

0:01:13.600 --> 0:01:15.959
<v Speaker 1>I think that whether you're talking about black people white people,

0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:18.679
<v Speaker 1>because white people do some things too, and we scratch

0:01:18.720 --> 0:01:21.360
<v Speaker 1>your head like like what is going on? You know?

0:01:21.520 --> 0:01:23.520
<v Speaker 1>You know? One thing, one thing that I that I

0:01:23.600 --> 0:01:25.800
<v Speaker 1>can't say is that you know they will they will

0:01:25.840 --> 0:01:30.039
<v Speaker 1>talk about each other until kingdom come, but as soon

0:01:30.120 --> 0:01:34.240
<v Speaker 1>as some ship goes down, they unite like nothing happened,

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.119
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, but this person just talked about your

0:01:37.160 --> 0:01:41.080
<v Speaker 1>mother and talked about everything, but you reunite so so so,

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>I mean, everybody do different things. I think that when

0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:53.240
<v Speaker 1>it comes to violence between black on black, um, it happens, um,

0:01:53.320 --> 0:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>and I think that we accept it. But when it

0:01:56.320 --> 0:01:59.920
<v Speaker 1>comes from a different race, it's almost like another race

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.920
<v Speaker 1>have no right to take us out but our own.

0:02:04.000 --> 0:02:07.000
<v Speaker 1>That's just I'm not saying that it's right. I'm just

0:02:07.080 --> 0:02:12.519
<v Speaker 1>saying that we we we accept it better when we

0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:16.120
<v Speaker 1>hear oh data down the street took out you know

0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:20.920
<v Speaker 1>the bond and yeah, I just feel like, you know, um,

0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:23.920
<v Speaker 1>the police, we pay their salary with our tax dollars

0:02:24.000 --> 0:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>and they're supposed to protect and serve us. Crime in

0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:30.079
<v Speaker 1>a community, you're gonna have crime in the community that

0:02:30.120 --> 0:02:32.359
<v Speaker 1>you live in. And if you live in a black community,

0:02:32.400 --> 0:02:34.919
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have black on black crime, and white community

0:02:34.960 --> 0:02:37.160
<v Speaker 1>you're gonna have white on white crime. Asian community, you're

0:02:37.160 --> 0:02:41.840
<v Speaker 1>gonna have Asian on Asian crime. That is American society. Honestly,

0:02:42.200 --> 0:02:44.400
<v Speaker 1>we kill each other in the communities that we're in.

0:02:44.680 --> 0:02:46.800
<v Speaker 1>Not saying that it is okay, but when the police

0:02:46.800 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 1>come in our communities and kill us when they're paid

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:51.400
<v Speaker 1>to protect and serve us. That is a problem to me,

0:02:51.880 --> 0:02:53.959
<v Speaker 1>and that's why we march about it. That's why we're

0:02:53.960 --> 0:02:56.480
<v Speaker 1>marching on that now. Definitely, do we need to address

0:02:57.120 --> 0:03:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the crime in our own communities, Absolutely, we do. We do.

0:03:00.639 --> 0:03:03.200
<v Speaker 1>But when you're coming in our community, and like you said,

0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.320
<v Speaker 1>you have been taught how to de escalate situations in

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:10.040
<v Speaker 1>your career, you know, why are they trying to de

0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:12.120
<v Speaker 1>escalate with us the same way as that they do

0:03:12.200 --> 0:03:15.000
<v Speaker 1>in other communities. That is the issue, and that is

0:03:15.040 --> 0:03:17.880
<v Speaker 1>why we march. Yeah, so I got a little bit

0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:21.280
<v Speaker 1>uh saying a lot of lines of both on both sides, right,

0:03:21.720 --> 0:03:24.279
<v Speaker 1>So with me, is is a little bit more metaphysical

0:03:24.320 --> 0:03:27.600
<v Speaker 1>than that. Okay, we know that they when they come

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:29.880
<v Speaker 1>in the neighborhoods and a black person gets killed by

0:03:29.880 --> 0:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>a white person, that's one person down right, Um, And

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:36.880
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times the officer is not held accountable

0:03:37.040 --> 0:03:40.440
<v Speaker 1>whether or not you know it was done uh excessive

0:03:40.480 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 1>force or maybe they shouldn't have killed this person at all. Right,

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.960
<v Speaker 1>when it's black on black crime, we got two people

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:49.280
<v Speaker 1>missing out. You have the person that committed it and

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:53.080
<v Speaker 1>then the person that's dead. Right, there's no I do.

0:03:53.320 --> 0:03:56.040
<v Speaker 1>I personally do not believe that there is more black

0:03:56.040 --> 0:03:58.960
<v Speaker 1>on black violence than any other community. It's just that

0:03:59.000 --> 0:04:02.640
<v Speaker 1>it's put in our face more right to cause a

0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:06.600
<v Speaker 1>mental psychological response to it, so we can keep seeing

0:04:06.800 --> 0:04:10.800
<v Speaker 1>ourselves being murdered over and over and over and over again. Right,

0:04:10.920 --> 0:04:13.760
<v Speaker 1>I think people should stop marching personally, it doesn't work.

0:04:14.240 --> 0:04:15.960
<v Speaker 1>What I think black people need to do is get

0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.920
<v Speaker 1>life insurance. Okay, when you're driving a car and you're

0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.800
<v Speaker 1>gonna tell a car accident, you're not gonna stop driving

0:04:22.800 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 1>just because you got into an accident. You have insurance

0:04:25.120 --> 0:04:29.560
<v Speaker 1>to cover that. Police literally have insurance to kill people

0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:33.400
<v Speaker 1>when they violate your civil rights. Your family get paid. Right,

0:04:33.520 --> 0:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>So what if more black people have life insurance, the

0:04:36.279 --> 0:04:38.600
<v Speaker 1>life insurance company is gonna be coming at the police

0:04:38.600 --> 0:04:41.320
<v Speaker 1>departments at that point because now we're paying out millions

0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 1>and trillions and dollars and deaths, unjustified homicides, and you you,

0:04:47.400 --> 0:04:51.440
<v Speaker 1>you you violating people's civil rights. They're not gonna stop

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:56.720
<v Speaker 1>because they're licensed and bonded to do so. So marching

0:04:56.800 --> 0:05:00.280
<v Speaker 1>doesn't work. So if he's asking that question, no, why

0:05:00.279 --> 0:05:02.279
<v Speaker 1>don't y'all march. That would be my question back to

0:05:02.320 --> 0:05:05.359
<v Speaker 1>the white listener, why don't y'all march when the police

0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:07.200
<v Speaker 1>kill them, because they actually get killed more by the

0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.240
<v Speaker 1>police and black people because but nine times they're the

0:05:10.279 --> 0:05:13.719
<v Speaker 1>aggressor most of the time. Most of the time they're

0:05:13.760 --> 0:05:16.320
<v Speaker 1>probably they probably have a gun or a knife charging

0:05:16.360 --> 0:05:19.200
<v Speaker 1>at the police when they get shot. There's a lot

0:05:19.240 --> 0:05:22.920
<v Speaker 1>of unarmed black people that get shot by the police,

0:05:23.000 --> 0:05:24.560
<v Speaker 1>which is why we feel like we have to march

0:05:24.600 --> 0:05:27.479
<v Speaker 1>about it. We march to get somebody, just to get

0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:31.400
<v Speaker 1>charges brought in knowledge. Oftentimes these people just go home

0:05:31.400 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>and it's months, five, six months down the line and

0:05:33.600 --> 0:05:38.680
<v Speaker 1>they haven't even been charged with an unjustified homicide. It's

0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.479
<v Speaker 1>not an accident. It was murder. So that's my take

0:05:41.520 --> 0:05:47.599
<v Speaker 1>on it. Life is charge over marching. Thanks for Andy

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 1>for us sending that question. We appreciate it. Thank you.
