9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: another episode of Carefully Reckless with Your Girl Just Hilarious.

10
00:00:30,920 --> 00:00:36,400
Speaker 1: Story time. I remember we all took a trip to

11
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico. Now we all is me and a couple

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 1: of other couples, because it was like a couple's trip.

13
00:00:42,520 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: Don't ask me who I took because honestly, I don't remember,

14
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,600
Speaker 1: and this was just last year. I do remember my

15
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:52,400
Speaker 1: aunt and my uncle being one of the couples. Now

16
00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: I'm related to my aunt. She's my biological aunt, and

17
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: my uncle is my uncle because he's married to her.

18
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:05,360
Speaker 1: My aunt is hm very snobby. She's the rich auntie

19
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:09,920
Speaker 1: that you know most families have. She's very straightforward, she's blunt.

20
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,760
Speaker 1: She's like me, but more disrespectful and her husband, on

21
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:16,520
Speaker 1: the other hand, he's very quiet, laid back, chill to himself.

22
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: I love my uncle. He's cool. Obviously they were having

23
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:22,080
Speaker 1: a problem in their marriage. I don't know why the

24
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:24,120
Speaker 1: hell they would even come on a trip and try

25
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:28,479
Speaker 1: to mask their problem. But game night, right the night

26
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:31,679
Speaker 1: before we left, we were playing the game Guestris. That's

27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:33,800
Speaker 1: when you gotta do charades or whatever, and it's a

28
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: team game. I don't know why we didn't do men

29
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 1: versus women. I do not know why, just to keep

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:40,480
Speaker 1: the confusion down and it would have been more fun.

31
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: But we decided to do couples against couples. Now it

32
00:01:43,760 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: was four couples. So it's eight people, two teams of

33
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:51,200
Speaker 1: two couples each. Right, Oh my gosh. They couldn't agree

34
00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: on anything, my aunt uncle, they couldn't agree. First of all,

35
00:01:53,960 --> 00:01:57,240
Speaker 1: when he first got there, they were very distant. They

36
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,720
Speaker 1: were being caddy toward one another. The team was high.

37
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:03,360
Speaker 1: It was awkward as fun to be around them because

38
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: you knew, you know, when two people are beating, you

39
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,640
Speaker 1: walk into a room to get quiet, or they already

40
00:02:07,680 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 1: quiet when you enter the room. That ship is crazy, right,

41
00:02:10,040 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: So we're playing a game. Round one, they couldn't agree

42
00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:15,560
Speaker 1: on ship. Round two, couldn't agree on ship. They grew

43
00:02:15,720 --> 00:02:17,919
Speaker 1: more heated and heated. By the end of the game,

44
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,640
Speaker 1: they were at each other's next yea like real ship.

45
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,960
Speaker 1: So my uncle says something like, man, I'm out of

46
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 1: this motherfucker. I'm I'm out. This bitch went on the balcony.

47
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,720
Speaker 1: Want to go light up a blunt on his way out.

48
00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: She said, don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.

49
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,679
Speaker 1: He just mad because I make more money than his ass.

50
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:39,320
Speaker 1: All bets are off. Now he turns back around. He

51
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 1: gets upset. He looks like, how the fund can you

52
00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: even say this ship? How can you even say this

53
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: ship in front of people. I told you she had

54
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,160
Speaker 1: a few drinks, so did he. But women one thing

55
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:51,960
Speaker 1: about us. When we hit we hit below the fucking belt.

56
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: And that ship is not healthy. Not in a fucking marriage,

57
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 1: not in a friendship, not in any type of companionship

58
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,280
Speaker 1: you got going on. Never hit below the belt, especially

59
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:04,480
Speaker 1: against somebody you love, in front of a bunch of people.

60
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,880
Speaker 1: I remember nobody checking on him either. I remember that

61
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: nobody would to go check on him, even the other guys.

62
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 1: I mean I guess they just didn't want to insert

63
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: themselves into the business of my aunt, my uncle and

64
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,520
Speaker 1: ship like that. But all of us was trying to

65
00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 1: calm her down. We all was checking on her. And

66
00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 1: you know, even my date, I remember him check. Oh,

67
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:25,080
Speaker 1: I remember who it is now, but y'all still ain't

68
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,200
Speaker 1: getting that information. He would to go check on her.

69
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:30,280
Speaker 1: Everybody was checking on her. Nobody went on the balcony

70
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: with my uncle to check on him. He's smoking a blunt,

71
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,480
Speaker 1: he't chilling, he quiet anyway, So he's very unapproachable looking,

72
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: So I guess that's why as well. I remember the

73
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: next day when we all woke up to leave, because

74
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:44,920
Speaker 1: that was our our last day on the trip. Our

75
00:03:44,960 --> 00:03:47,480
Speaker 1: flights were in the afternoon. We woke up, he was gone.

76
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 1: He got up and he flew the funk out. He

77
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: didn't say goodbye to anybody. Nothing like that. Now, with

78
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:57,760
Speaker 1: that story in mine, today's topic is a black man's vulnerability.

79
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: It's important to talk about that type ship these days

80
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 1: because it's a very feminist time in life right now.

81
00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: Women we get the spotlight a lot more now, and

82
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,200
Speaker 1: that's great. You know, the black woman is strong, the

83
00:04:11,240 --> 00:04:13,240
Speaker 1: black woman is this the black woman is that. Yes,

84
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 1: we are where everything alpha and omega and everything in between.

85
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,440
Speaker 1: You take us away, you ain't got ship. But at

86
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,279
Speaker 1: the same time, we still have another another piece of

87
00:04:23,360 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: humanity that we tend to just forget. That's the man.

88
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 1: You can't spell humanity without man, and we we tend

89
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: not to give a funk about a man's failings. Now,

90
00:04:36,400 --> 00:04:40,560
Speaker 1: usually the next segment is just fix my mess. However,

91
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:43,400
Speaker 1: I knew, I just knew there would be no men

92
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:48,559
Speaker 1: who would willingly address their vulnerabilities and insecurities or whatever.

93
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,520
Speaker 1: We have that, but that's the problem with our men

94
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,640
Speaker 1: these days. We have to get them to talk more.

95
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 1: And I know the tradition is, you know, men don't cry.

96
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,599
Speaker 1: Men are not supposed to cry. Men don't be weak.

97
00:05:01,400 --> 00:05:03,840
Speaker 1: You can't open up about ship. You have to keep

98
00:05:03,839 --> 00:05:06,159
Speaker 1: it all inside because you're a man. You gotta be strong,

99
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:10,279
Speaker 1: you gotta be barbarian like. But that's bullshit, because men

100
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,800
Speaker 1: still have hearts, they still have feelings their women without pussies.

101
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:16,920
Speaker 1: That's it, Like a woman is a man without a dick.

102
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:19,719
Speaker 1: We are the same, We're all people. We just have

103
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,720
Speaker 1: different ships between our legs. That's the only difference between us.

104
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,800
Speaker 1: There are lots of insecurities that men struggle with, and

105
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,040
Speaker 1: it's a lot of ship that men deal with that

106
00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 1: women deal with as well, but it's overlooked when it's

107
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:34,720
Speaker 1: a man like men get cheated on, they get raped

108
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,440
Speaker 1: as children. You know, men go through all types of ship.

109
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,279
Speaker 1: They go through money problems, they go through losing friends,

110
00:05:42,440 --> 00:05:45,760
Speaker 1: they have confidence issues. You got men getting surgery nowadays.

111
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: If you don't like the way you look, change it.

112
00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:50,240
Speaker 1: That's not only meant for a woman, you know what

113
00:05:50,279 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: I mean. There are a lot of things that men

114
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,560
Speaker 1: deal with, but then you have the falsehood of ego.

115
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: That's the mask that they put on so they won't

116
00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 1: have to face themselves or face their problems, and also

117
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,960
Speaker 1: so no one around them will know what they're really

118
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:07,160
Speaker 1: going through. That's why it's very important to have barbershop talk.

119
00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 1: Like you know, how we go and get our hair

120
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:12,240
Speaker 1: done and we talked to our styles about everything. Well,

121
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: I don't know, these days, these stylers are so fucking messy.

122
00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't talk to my styler is

123
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:21,039
Speaker 1: about a motherfucking thing. But you know it's easy, you know,

124
00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: as women, we go and we talk about ship, talk

125
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:25,600
Speaker 1: about these men. We're sitting these shares and let these

126
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: women do our hand. We start sparking up conversations about

127
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 1: how niggason did us wrong, and and then how we're

128
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: doing a nigga's wrong. You never know what's gonna come

129
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: out of your mouth. And a fucking hand saloon because

130
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,680
Speaker 1: you're comfortable, you're amongst other women who are having some

131
00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: of the same problems. Now put the same thing in

132
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: the barbershop. The barbershop setting. These men have these conversations,

133
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:46,320
Speaker 1: but I'm telling you a lot of times because I

134
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: used to work at a barbershop. Yes, they have the

135
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:52,239
Speaker 1: same conversations we have. But men still front. Men front

136
00:06:52,279 --> 00:06:55,640
Speaker 1: for other men. No man wants another man to know

137
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:58,400
Speaker 1: his struggles. Whether he's the man's best friend or not.

138
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,080
Speaker 1: He does not want anyone to know his struggles. You're

139
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: always supposed to be the perfect strong man and anything

140
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: your friendships. If you've got a group of friends, you

141
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,080
Speaker 1: want to be you want to appear as the richest friend,

142
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,960
Speaker 1: the friend that got it all together, and you don't. Now,

143
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:15,320
Speaker 1: men have a lot of issues that they struggle with.

144
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,200
Speaker 1: That's why they can't properly assess kids and women. You

145
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,320
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I'm not making up excuses because

146
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,000
Speaker 1: this is not every man's problem, but majority you'd be surprised.

147
00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:26,880
Speaker 1: And I was having a discussion with one of my

148
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: buddies and he calls it the trickle down theory. A

149
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:32,680
Speaker 1: lot of these men's issues are deep rooted, goes back

150
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: to their childhood, goes back to generations and generations before them,

151
00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,600
Speaker 1: great great grandfathers. They didn't know how to love properly

152
00:07:40,640 --> 00:07:44,120
Speaker 1: because their father didn't do that. Their father didn't show them.

153
00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,480
Speaker 1: Their father didn't put him on his back and you know,

154
00:07:47,640 --> 00:07:49,600
Speaker 1: run around the house with him or wrestle them or

155
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:52,040
Speaker 1: you know, or wrap them in his arms and telling

156
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 1: me loves them. None of that. I remember a picture

157
00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: that was going around with whis Khalifa kissing his son

158
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: Sebastian and his mouth. Now, a lot of men they

159
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: had something to say about that. A lot of women

160
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: has something to say about that. But that's why we

161
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,160
Speaker 1: feel like we that's I said, we like I'm a man,

162
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,920
Speaker 1: and sometimes I swear I am, you know, But that's

163
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: why men feel like they got to be so hard

164
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:18,040
Speaker 1: up because they're scared to show affection even to women

165
00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: scared to show affection. That's why a lot of gay

166
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,520
Speaker 1: men are scared of coming out. It's just a man

167
00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 1: is a man. At the end of the day. They

168
00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:28,120
Speaker 1: have hearts, they have feelings. With Khalifa teaching that little

169
00:08:28,160 --> 00:08:31,800
Speaker 1: boy love, he's teaching him love. There's nothing wrong with

170
00:08:31,880 --> 00:08:33,840
Speaker 1: him kissing his son in them off, that's his fucking son.

171
00:08:34,440 --> 00:08:37,280
Speaker 1: Mind your fucking business. Then, on the other hand, you

172
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,640
Speaker 1: got a man who never kisses his son, whether it

173
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: be on a forehead, cheek, whatever mouth. You got men

174
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: that never kiss their fucking sons never. Now, imagine those

175
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:49,360
Speaker 1: young men that's gonna grow up who don't know how

176
00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 1: to show affection to a woman. No, no, no, no no no.

177
00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,600
Speaker 1: They they might think kissing his mushy. They don't want

178
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,880
Speaker 1: that ship. Oh no, no, no, hell no. My father

179
00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: never did death. No no, no no. Even if you

180
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:02,719
Speaker 1: did have a mother, that's affectionate to you, telling you

181
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,240
Speaker 1: your father plants the seed. Every household needs a dad,

182
00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: Every child needs a dad, and every child needs a

183
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:12,520
Speaker 1: mother's love, but also the love and affection from a father.

184
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: That's why I praise Russell Willson. He shows love to

185
00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:19,760
Speaker 1: baby future, he shows him love he's not hard up

186
00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: with the dude with the little boy. He's not that

187
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: one on one they get. Sierra is not always around

188
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:27,760
Speaker 1: when baby Future is in the care of Russell. You

189
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,280
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, He wants that one on one

190
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 1: showing him love and affection, not saying his father doesn't.

191
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:33,800
Speaker 1: But I only know what we see, and we see

192
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:37,320
Speaker 1: Russell giving him that affection. If you love me, you'll

193
00:09:37,360 --> 00:09:40,839
Speaker 1: listen to this commercial and then we'll be right back again.

194
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,920
Speaker 1: General curses that has to be broken. Maybe someone's father

195
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:49,439
Speaker 1: beat their mother growing up in abusive household. A lot

196
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:53,160
Speaker 1: of guys seen there. Their mothers get beaten by their father.

197
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: Seeing their fathers even you know, beat on them. That's

198
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:01,240
Speaker 1: also a generational curse. That's also how man feels like

199
00:10:01,280 --> 00:10:03,640
Speaker 1: he has to be so tough. Or my father beat

200
00:10:03,679 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 1: my mother. My father never hugged and kissed on my mother.

201
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,559
Speaker 1: I never saw that, So that's what I am. My

202
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 1: own brother can't stand his father, but in hindsight, he

203
00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:15,080
Speaker 1: acts just like his dad. You know what I'm saying.

204
00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:18,600
Speaker 1: That ship sticks with your kids, and that's why generational

205
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: curses have to be broken. That's exactly why, or it'll

206
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:23,440
Speaker 1: be hard for you to be a parent. It'll be

207
00:10:23,480 --> 00:10:25,040
Speaker 1: hard for you to be a husband, It'll be hard

208
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,560
Speaker 1: for you to be a brother. It'll be hard. You

209
00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,280
Speaker 1: have to break it. Manyy therapy, just like us women

210
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: many love a lot of times. There is no framework meaning.

211
00:10:35,760 --> 00:10:40,040
Speaker 1: Nobody taught this man structure. Nobody taught him how to

212
00:10:40,080 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 1: be honest with himself about his struggles. Nobody's taught him

213
00:10:43,559 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: how to open up about them, you know, whether it

214
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:48,240
Speaker 1: be to other friends. That's why men are so scared

215
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:50,319
Speaker 1: of therapy. I'm not about to go lay on the

216
00:10:50,480 --> 00:10:52,720
Speaker 1: couch and and tell no woman how I fail. She

217
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: can't help me. I'm I'm I'm a man, I'm tough

218
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 1: and no, but I don't want nobody in my business.

219
00:10:57,679 --> 00:11:02,400
Speaker 1: That's where manipulation comes into play. Most mass manipulating men

220
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:06,320
Speaker 1: have these issues deep deep, deep down inside. Manipulation can't

221
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,880
Speaker 1: just come from nowhere. My son's father is very manipulative,

222
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 1: and now so is my son. My son hasn't even

223
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:18,920
Speaker 1: lived his life fully. He's eight and he is a

224
00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 1: little manipulator for real. He gets it from his dad.

225
00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:24,840
Speaker 1: But you know, Jerome has a lot of issues. Jerome

226
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: is my son's father's name is a lot of issues

227
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:29,280
Speaker 1: that he hasn't come to grips with. He hasn't put

228
00:11:29,280 --> 00:11:32,160
Speaker 1: out those fires in those roots yet. And he even

229
00:11:32,160 --> 00:11:35,240
Speaker 1: told me, I mean, sometimes I think about going to therapy,

230
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:36,800
Speaker 1: but then I mean, what is that ship gonna do

231
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,440
Speaker 1: for me? That's that ego I was talking about. That

232
00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: goes back to the falsehood of ego. What do you

233
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: mean You're trying to be so tough, You're trying to

234
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: appear as something that you've trained yourself to be so

235
00:11:48,559 --> 00:11:50,040
Speaker 1: you don't have to deal with the issues, you don't

236
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: have to face them. But in all reality, you will

237
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:53,640
Speaker 1: never be happy, You will never find love, You will

238
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,920
Speaker 1: never ever ever stop going from woman to woman looking

239
00:11:56,960 --> 00:11:59,360
Speaker 1: for what you're missing if you don't get to the

240
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:02,000
Speaker 1: root of your problem your own self. This is what

241
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: I've told him tom after time, even examples and movies

242
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: that they put in front of our faces on why

243
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:11,120
Speaker 1: did I get married Angela and Marcus? She constantly put

244
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: the man down. That's what my aunt did, put the

245
00:12:14,520 --> 00:12:17,560
Speaker 1: man down about making less than she did. But then

246
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:20,560
Speaker 1: why did I get married? Marcus was pro football player.

247
00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: They started with his money. He got hurt, he got injured,

248
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:28,160
Speaker 1: and then the burden fell on the wife. Nevertheless, she

249
00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: picked it up, but she threw it in his face.

250
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,360
Speaker 1: This is my money, Marcus. You ain't going nowhere. You

251
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 1: ain't gonna leave me because this is my money. That

252
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,839
Speaker 1: forced that man to cheat. He did not want to

253
00:12:37,920 --> 00:12:42,439
Speaker 1: leave his wife. But dealing with a woman seven, that's

254
00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 1: throwing something in your face, that fox with a man's dignity,

255
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 1: that fox with a man's pride. So he cheated. He

256
00:12:48,520 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: cheated with someone who ain't gonna do that ship that

257
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 1: ain't constantly talking about he broke and reminding him of

258
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,920
Speaker 1: his past and oh, yeah, you you did make money

259
00:12:58,080 --> 00:12:59,920
Speaker 1: until you hurt yourself. Now you ain't got nothing come

260
00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:02,480
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. She constantly reminded Marcus that

261
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:05,280
Speaker 1: he had to work for her in her Salon the

262
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:08,920
Speaker 1: episode of Martin where Martin was so upset that Gina

263
00:13:09,040 --> 00:13:10,880
Speaker 1: made more than him. He didn't even know that ship

264
00:13:11,120 --> 00:13:13,160
Speaker 1: and it came out that she made more than him.

265
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:15,120
Speaker 1: He was pissed the whole episode. Now, these are real

266
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: situations that they put on TV. Yes, it was a

267
00:13:17,679 --> 00:13:21,720
Speaker 1: fictional sitcom, but it's real life. Ship Men deal with

268
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:24,440
Speaker 1: all types of ship men deal with financial struggles. Men

269
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:27,560
Speaker 1: deal with abust from their women. Men deal with a lot.

270
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:31,040
Speaker 1: These black men, man, they go through a lot. We're

271
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,880
Speaker 1: gonna take it back even further to color purple. Remember

272
00:13:33,920 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: Silly and Mr. He beat that woman and she still

273
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 1: want to go get up and cook for the family

274
00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:43,480
Speaker 1: through the baby's hair. All of that that was regular

275
00:13:43,559 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: back then. That was fucking regular. And then he had

276
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 1: a fucking mistress who was sucked up in the head

277
00:13:48,080 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: as well. She was being mentally abused, she was being prostituted.

278
00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:55,319
Speaker 1: But Mr. Was dealing with struggles far beyond the abuse.

279
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,559
Speaker 1: Maybe he was abused when he was younger and ship

280
00:13:57,640 --> 00:14:01,440
Speaker 1: like that. He couldn't love Silly, He couldn't love Sutter,

281
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:05,040
Speaker 1: He couldn't love anybody, probably because he didn't address his

282
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,880
Speaker 1: own issues. He would beat the shut out of Silly

283
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:09,800
Speaker 1: and she would get the funk up and go cook

284
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:12,640
Speaker 1: dinner for the family like it was regular. That should happen.

285
00:14:12,720 --> 00:14:16,400
Speaker 1: Even back in slavery, the black man has always had

286
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,440
Speaker 1: to bore the physical part of slavery. You gotta think

287
00:14:20,480 --> 00:14:23,600
Speaker 1: about it. When the black man is born, they were

288
00:14:23,640 --> 00:14:27,000
Speaker 1: trained by white men. They would take the biggest black man.

289
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: This is the one I got to do all the work.

290
00:14:29,600 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: Then the workout in the fields and ship. They would

291
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: get them real strong and buff like animals. They treated

292
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: the black man like animals. That's what the black man

293
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 1: was used for. The black man was seen as a machine,

294
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 1: a strong ass animal, beaten when they didn't move, beaten

295
00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,640
Speaker 1: for not doing something right, beaten no matter what it

296
00:14:48,680 --> 00:14:51,840
Speaker 1: was for. Nevertheless, they were fucking beaten. Which takes me

297
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: back to Mr. And Silly. When she didn't do something right,

298
00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: he beat her. Sometimes she wouldn't even do ship. He

299
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,360
Speaker 1: would just beat her. His ass was beat you know

300
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,680
Speaker 1: what I mean. It's the trickle down effect that my

301
00:15:02,720 --> 00:15:05,960
Speaker 1: homeboy was talking about. It's also the devalue of a

302
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: black man. Even fast forward to the Welfare Reformation, when

303
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: blacks started finally getting government assistance. The rules were a

304
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: black man couldn't even be in the fucking house. For

305
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,600
Speaker 1: a woman to receive any type of benefits, the black

306
00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,160
Speaker 1: man couldn't even be in the fucking house. So the

307
00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:27,680
Speaker 1: black man had the hide. Of course it was for nest,

308
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: but when he would come around for the visits and

309
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:32,560
Speaker 1: shipped to still keep up the benefits or whatever, and

310
00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:34,800
Speaker 1: all that type of ship. The evaluations, the man had

311
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:36,480
Speaker 1: to get all of his clothes out of there, and

312
00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: and no man could even be in the house, No

313
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:41,160
Speaker 1: fucking black man could even be in his own house

314
00:15:41,480 --> 00:15:45,560
Speaker 1: for the family to receive benefits, to receive help. And

315
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:49,760
Speaker 1: in my opinion, welfare reformation is what started the I

316
00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,040
Speaker 1: don't need a man mindset for black women. Black women

317
00:15:53,080 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: have had more training on how to defend themselves from

318
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,840
Speaker 1: a black man than to how to love a black

319
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: and I'm telling you it started right there. In my opinion,

320
00:16:02,840 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: you're gonna always see a black woman even today. I

321
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:07,560
Speaker 1: don't need no man, I don't need no nigga. I

322
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,240
Speaker 1: do this ship by myself, like bitches love saying that ship. Listen,

323
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 1: you do you do just like the man needs us.

324
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:19,720
Speaker 1: Black women need black men, and black men need black women.

325
00:16:19,760 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: I don't give a funk how you feel, what you say.

326
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,920
Speaker 1: If you turn this podcast it off right now, I

327
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,560
Speaker 1: don't give a fuck. Yes we do. We need our

328
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:30,680
Speaker 1: men and they need us. And that's also why black

329
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,880
Speaker 1: men are so aggressive. Not all of them, but a

330
00:16:33,880 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: lot of the majority of these men are so aggressive

331
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: because we've been taught to defend ourselves against them. So

332
00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,600
Speaker 1: of course, like even when when you first meet a man,

333
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:45,680
Speaker 1: we can see a nigga walking down the street, if

334
00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,280
Speaker 1: it's pants a lot too tight or depending on you know,

335
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,880
Speaker 1: the sway in his walking or whatever what he got on.

336
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:55,280
Speaker 1: Oh bitch ga, oh bitch she said, drugs, Like we're

337
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: judging him at the fucking door. You haven't done that.

338
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: We judge these men and then we get upset when

339
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: they're with white women, but we often have that. We

340
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:08,360
Speaker 1: don't need your mentality. So actually, we throw these niggas away.

341
00:17:08,840 --> 00:17:11,600
Speaker 1: That's what we do. We're throwing them away. And we

342
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:14,159
Speaker 1: can be very spiteful. Hold up, hold up, I know

343
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 1: the ship getting good, But listen to just a couple

344
00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:18,639
Speaker 1: of seconds of a commercial. If you love me, you'll listen.

345
00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: As black women, yes, we can be very spiteful because,

346
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:26,480
Speaker 1: like I said, we have been trained to defend ourselves.

347
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,440
Speaker 1: So when a man do finally open up, Let's say

348
00:17:29,480 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: he opened up and tell you about his past or

349
00:17:32,080 --> 00:17:34,040
Speaker 1: he has an insecurity. He tells you about one of

350
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: his vulnerabilities, You take it, you love him, he falls

351
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,800
Speaker 1: for you, y'all get angry, and you throw that ship

352
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,280
Speaker 1: in his face. You bring that ship up and you

353
00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: throw that ship out there at him. Well, you was

354
00:17:46,119 --> 00:17:50,240
Speaker 1: telling me whatever the problem, whatever the issue is. Then

355
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,879
Speaker 1: they shut back down and don't tell you, ask nothing else.

356
00:17:53,400 --> 00:17:56,200
Speaker 1: We have to protect our black men just like we

357
00:17:56,240 --> 00:17:59,160
Speaker 1: expect them to protect us. We have to get them

358
00:17:59,160 --> 00:18:01,960
Speaker 1: to talk more. We have to get them to talk more.

359
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: A lot of men grew up in foster homes and

360
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: being passed around from group home the group home. I remember,

361
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:08,800
Speaker 1: I had a man that worked for me that told

362
00:18:08,800 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: me that man, there's some real ship sys growing up

363
00:18:12,280 --> 00:18:14,919
Speaker 1: being passed around from group home the group almost like jail.

364
00:18:15,320 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 1: I feel like he was trying to tell me something.

365
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,200
Speaker 1: Maybe he was touched, maybe he was raped. That's why

366
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:23,840
Speaker 1: he's so fucking mean. That's why he beat niggas the

367
00:18:23,880 --> 00:18:26,800
Speaker 1: way he do. That's why he's had encounters with women

368
00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: and fucking children. That's why he's not scared to take

369
00:18:28,960 --> 00:18:30,920
Speaker 1: a life. The ship that he had to go through

370
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,879
Speaker 1: growing up. Now he has a lot of children, a

371
00:18:33,880 --> 00:18:36,280
Speaker 1: lot of them got both nine ten children, and all

372
00:18:36,320 --> 00:18:39,160
Speaker 1: of them are mixed. None of them are fully African American.

373
00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 1: He also explained to me why none of them are

374
00:18:41,920 --> 00:18:46,560
Speaker 1: fully African American. He loves mixed women. He loves Hispanic women.

375
00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,719
Speaker 1: They're more submissive. He doesn't have to worry about them

376
00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:52,160
Speaker 1: going through his phone, he doesn't have to worry about

377
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: them calling him out of his name, poisoning him when

378
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:57,439
Speaker 1: he's sleep or anything. I'm like, Nigga, what the hell

379
00:18:57,480 --> 00:18:59,600
Speaker 1: have you been through with black women? What the fuck?

380
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:01,680
Speaker 1: That's why you said he's scared the day to another one.

381
00:19:01,880 --> 00:19:04,600
Speaker 1: He told me this, I ain't suing no black women.

382
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:06,920
Speaker 1: Scared the day to fucking black women. Man. Black women

383
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: think their men, is what he said. I can relate

384
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: to that because sometimes I feel like I am you

385
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 1: know what I mean. Like we're tough, we're very very tough,

386
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: we don't take no ship, but sometimes it's okay to

387
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,320
Speaker 1: be soft. Sometimes it is. You also, notice how black

388
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,320
Speaker 1: men don't marry black women, even going way back to

389
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:29,320
Speaker 1: your grandmother. Now, listen, black people will stay together for

390
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:31,879
Speaker 1: years and years and years, but never married because we've

391
00:19:31,960 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: had no examples to look up to. Now, I don't

392
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,439
Speaker 1: want to hear nothing but no Beyonce and jay Z

393
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:41,679
Speaker 1: and grand Hero and to Mia and and Russell and Sierra. No, no, no, no,

394
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,360
Speaker 1: I'm talking about way back, not not celebrities don't throw

395
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,399
Speaker 1: no celebrities in my face. Let's go way back old.

396
00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:51,960
Speaker 1: People will stay together for fucking ever and still still

397
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: don't marry each other. I don't know what it is

398
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:58,200
Speaker 1: about it, but it's hard to marry. We had no

399
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 1: good examples. Even these days, it seems like people can

400
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,239
Speaker 1: be in love when they have babies, they break up.

401
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 1: The divorce rate and Black marriages is way fucking higher

402
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,520
Speaker 1: than any other race because people get married without getting

403
00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,160
Speaker 1: to know each other. People get married with hidden factors,

404
00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: like men. Men don't like to talk about ship that

405
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:19,440
Speaker 1: they've been through. You have to really, really really get

406
00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:22,439
Speaker 1: to know yourself and really get to the bottom of

407
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: who you are before you marry someone. And a lot

408
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:29,760
Speaker 1: of times, because these men do have these masked egos

409
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:33,720
Speaker 1: and this type of ship, they go in a relationship

410
00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,480
Speaker 1: being someone that they've trained themselves to be, being someone

411
00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:39,119
Speaker 1: that they're really really not, and then when you're married,

412
00:20:39,160 --> 00:20:43,959
Speaker 1: you're stuck with this person and you realize, damn, I

413
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 1: did this too soon. But no, you're gonna keep making

414
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:48,520
Speaker 1: the same mistake if you don't get to know yourself,

415
00:20:48,560 --> 00:20:50,639
Speaker 1: if you don't get to talk more. We have to

416
00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:53,359
Speaker 1: get black men to talk more. If you are a

417
00:20:53,400 --> 00:20:56,520
Speaker 1: black man listening to this episode of Carefully Reckless Today,

418
00:20:56,560 --> 00:20:59,800
Speaker 1: the topic was a black man's vulnerability. Hit the email.

419
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,880
Speaker 1: I'll give you advice. We'll get to the bottom of it.

420
00:21:03,119 --> 00:21:05,679
Speaker 1: Ship open up, open up to me. That's what the

421
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,480
Speaker 1: hell I'm here for. I am a black man sometimes,

422
00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:11,080
Speaker 1: so I got you brother, look at me as your brother,

423
00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:15,520
Speaker 1: but not real ship man. A black man's vulnerability is

424
00:21:15,560 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: so important, and we need to get our black men

425
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:20,920
Speaker 1: to talk more, get them to open up. So black

426
00:21:20,960 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 1: women hugging, kiss your black man, black man hugging, kiss

427
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: your boys, your baby boys, your children, your son's black man.

428
00:21:29,040 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: Call your father and tell them you miss him, you

429
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:32,800
Speaker 1: love him, even if you know him and you ain't

430
00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:35,120
Speaker 1: got a relationship with him. Before you leave this earth,

431
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: make it your business to at least look your father

432
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,960
Speaker 1: in the eye, tell him you love him, give him

433
00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:43,200
Speaker 1: a hug, palm his head, all of that. Because love

434
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,480
Speaker 1: is love, whether you're a woman or a man. Remember

435
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: I said, the only difference between a man and a

436
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,919
Speaker 1: woman is what's between the legs. And I'm gonna leave

437
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: it right there. Thank you for listening to another episode
