1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,560
Speaker 1: The raging fire that totally destroyed the former fifty three

2
00:00:03,600 --> 00:00:08,640
Speaker 1: thousand square foot not Away Plantation in white Castle, Louisiana,

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 1: burned for nearly forty hours last week as onlookers took

4
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: videos and celebrated as it burned to the ground. The

5
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,759
Speaker 1: massive Antebellum estate was the site of atrocious crimes against

6
00:00:21,880 --> 00:00:25,920
Speaker 1: enslaved Black people from many generations. Slaved worked the land

7
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 1: and were tortured, raped, and mutilated there. In an effort

8
00:00:29,600 --> 00:00:33,160
Speaker 1: to erase the history of the Notaway Plantation, in recent years,

9
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,599
Speaker 1: it was rebranded as a museum, then a wedding venue,

10
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:42,240
Speaker 1: and a tourist attraction. Louisiana Fire marshals are still investigating

11
00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:44,559
Speaker 1: the source of the fire, but it is safe to

12
00:00:44,560 --> 00:00:48,960
Speaker 1: say that many many people do not care. They're just

13
00:00:48,960 --> 00:00:51,200
Speaker 1: glad is finally gone so much.

14
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:55,480
Speaker 2: You know, man, what I used to drive in the

15
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:59,600
Speaker 2: South when I was performing. I remember driving one time

16
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 2: in US saw billboard I don't remember where. He said,

17
00:01:03,240 --> 00:01:10,200
Speaker 2: come visit the Whitley Plantation, and I'm so I was

18
00:01:10,240 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 2: so mad, man, because I'm going You know, the audacity

19
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:18,640
Speaker 2: of these people to turn these places that caused so

20
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:22,600
Speaker 2: much pain and deprivation and turn it into it. It's

21
00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: a money more world. We used to make money on

22
00:01:24,520 --> 00:01:26,759
Speaker 2: it when they were slaves. Let's make money on it now.

23
00:01:26,920 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 2: Come visit the Whitney plantation. We visit your plantation, man.

24
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 1: And did you give money to the descendants of the

25
00:01:34,319 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: slaves that worked at the plantation?

26
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 3: Oh? Please?

27
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 1: What you know? They did not know.

28
00:01:40,640 --> 00:01:45,800
Speaker 2: Do African Americans deserve represent reparations? One thousand percent?

29
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: Yes?

30
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,680
Speaker 2: Will we ever get a dollar? One thousand percent? We

31
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:53,080
Speaker 2: will get not a coin, not a.

32
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 3: That's a fight, period. Yeah. Well, they don't even want

33
00:01:56,760 --> 00:02:00,800
Speaker 3: to do that. They they yes, man, long pay you.

34
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:04,400
Speaker 2: Well. I don't see how we're gonna find out that's

35
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: the old what was that that old senator. I don't

36
00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:17,920
Speaker 2: see how we're going to be a track track just

37
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 2: get to us. We're trying.

38
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, not everything else.

39
00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,160
Speaker 3: But you can't see that that part.

40
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:28,760
Speaker 2: I would support it, but I just I think it's

41
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,880
Speaker 2: a dead I think it's a dead fight.

42
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: I really do.

43
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,600
Speaker 2: I can't imagine this country doing that, writing a check

44
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:38,200
Speaker 2: for their wrongs when.

45
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 3: They don't don't it. They won't. First of all, you

46
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:42,079
Speaker 3: gotta admit to the wrong. I was going to.

47
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: Say them that would make them guilty. They would have

48
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,280
Speaker 1: to admit, that would mean they really did this, all right?

49
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:52,119
Speaker 1: Moving on, Well, in case you forgot about the sexual

50
00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: assault lawsuit against Smokey Robinson, here's what we know so far.

51
00:02:55,880 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: The four women that have accused Smoking of years of

52
00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: abuse while working at his residents are seeking fifty million

53
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:02,519
Speaker 1: dollars in damages.

54
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:03,079
Speaker 3: Now.

55
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: According to the lady's attorney, all four women are Hispanic,

56
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 1: all were undocumented at the time, and all were allegedly

57
00:03:10,360 --> 00:03:14,200
Speaker 1: paid under minimum wage while they were being sexually assaulted,

58
00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,960
Speaker 1: and they were threatened with deportation. These factors reportedly kept

59
00:03:18,960 --> 00:03:23,120
Speaker 1: the ladies from coming forward sooner. Smokey Robinson's attorney, meanwhile,

60
00:03:23,240 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 1: call the lawsuit a desperate attempt to prejudice public opinion

61
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:32,920
Speaker 1: and manufactured attempt on Smokey's reputation. He expressed confidence that

62
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,320
Speaker 1: a full review of the facts will clear the Smokey

63
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: Robinson's name. So there you go, clear Smokey Robinson's name.

64
00:03:40,040 --> 00:03:41,240
Speaker 1: That's what lawyer said.

65
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,720
Speaker 2: Okay, you know, in stories like this, because you're a

66
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:51,560
Speaker 2: public figure, you cannot say what you think. But I

67
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 2: have a question. Okay, if you asked me knowing Smoking

68
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 2: Robinson the way I do and as long as I've

69
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 2: known him, does this sound believable to you? And I

70
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 2: would say no, it doesn't sound believable to me as

71
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,960
Speaker 2: the person that I've sat down and talked with many

72
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,520
Speaker 2: times and just the spirit of him as a person.

73
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,440
Speaker 3: But let's let's hypothetically say.

74
00:04:21,320 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 2: He gets cleared and let me see that comes out

75
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:26,599
Speaker 2: proof that there's like an extortion or blackmail or whatever

76
00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:31,240
Speaker 2: you wanna call it. What happens then? Do the people

77
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:34,240
Speaker 2: who bought the chargers? Do they do they go home?

78
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:35,039
Speaker 3: Do they just?

79
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 2: Oh? Well, I tried, That's that's what happened. So I've

80
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 2: learned how now to form what I'm thinking in the

81
00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: form of hypothetical questions that way Steve ain't known the hook.

82
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: All right, all right, we're gonna move on now. Finally,

83
00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: Chris Brown's fans are in an uproar because his tour

84
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: is stalled. Right now, Chris is behind bars in London.

85
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:05,839
Speaker 1: Chris has arrested him from an altercation back in twenty

86
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,919
Speaker 1: twenty three with a promoter in London. Chris was accused

87
00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: of assaulting the promoter and there was an arrest of

88
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:16,640
Speaker 1: warrant for his arrest. When Chris stepped stepped foot back

89
00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 1: in the UK for his tour, he was arrested. A

90
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:24,599
Speaker 1: London judge ordered that Chris remain in custody until June thirteenth,

91
00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:29,080
Speaker 1: when his next court hearing is scheduled. Yeah, his tour.

92
00:05:29,200 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: Chris's tour is scheduled to kick off June eighth in

93
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:34,080
Speaker 1: the Netherlands, so it looks like he will not make

94
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:35,360
Speaker 1: that opening.

95
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,360

98
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, but hey man, first of all, it's hard to

99
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 2: be in jail out of town.

100
00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:49,159
