<v Speaker 3>May thirtieth goes to the organizers of a Greenville, South

0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:31.840
<v Speaker 3>Carolina June Tief event. Salute to the eight six four

0:00:31.880 --> 0:00:34.559
<v Speaker 3>all my upstate South Carolina brethren. What's happening dropping the

0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:37.800
<v Speaker 3>clues bombs for them? Okay, now we know what June

0:00:37.840 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 3>teenth is, right? In American Black holidays celebrated on June

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.880
<v Speaker 3>nineteenth to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in America.

0:00:44.960 --> 0:00:46.559
<v Speaker 2>Well, in Greenville, for.

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 3>Whatever reason, they decided to use white models to promote

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:54.920
<v Speaker 3>the holiday marking the emancipation of black slaves. You heard

0:00:54.920 --> 0:00:57.160
<v Speaker 3>me right, They decided to use white models to promote

0:00:57.160 --> 0:00:59.520
<v Speaker 3>the holiday marking the emancipation of black slaves.

0:00:59.560 --> 0:01:01.280
<v Speaker 2>Now, iaw this, I thought it was fake.

0:01:01.600 --> 0:01:03.640
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was one of those things somebody created

0:01:03.680 --> 0:01:05.960
<v Speaker 3>and put online just to get a reaction out of people.

0:01:05.959 --> 0:01:06.520
<v Speaker 2>But lo and.

0:01:06.480 --> 0:01:09.640
<v Speaker 3>Behold, I was wrong. Let's go to WCNC Charlotte for

0:01:09.680 --> 0:01:10.760
<v Speaker 3>the report police.

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:13.120
<v Speaker 4>Because we are seeing backlash on social media tonight. As

0:01:13.200 --> 0:01:17.280
<v Speaker 4>marketing material for a Juneteenth celebration in the Carolinas, well,

0:01:17.319 --> 0:01:20.120
<v Speaker 4>this is a picture of a Juneteenth banner in Greenville,

0:01:20.200 --> 0:01:24.080
<v Speaker 4>South Carolina, circulating online. It is drawing some ire and

0:01:24.120 --> 0:01:26.440
<v Speaker 4>it shows, as you can see here, a white couple

0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:31.360
<v Speaker 4>advertising this upcoming Juneteenth celebration. The lead organizer says that

0:01:31.400 --> 0:01:34.360
<v Speaker 4>they were trying to portray how everyone is welcomed to

0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.920
<v Speaker 4>join in Juneteenth celebrations. That said organizers are apologizing for

0:01:39.000 --> 0:01:41.520
<v Speaker 4>the execution of that message.

0:01:41.800 --> 0:01:45.679
<v Speaker 5>Do we understand that it's a very sensitive subject, especially

0:01:45.760 --> 0:01:50.840
<v Speaker 5>in the African American community, and we failed at making

0:01:50.880 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 5>sure that we completely centered African Americans at the center

0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.000
<v Speaker 5>of our marketing, of all of our marketing.

0:01:59.240 --> 0:02:02.520
<v Speaker 4>Organizers apt apologizing say that they plan to change the

0:02:02.560 --> 0:02:05.640
<v Speaker 4>banners to feature now just the Juneteenth and the Pan

0:02:05.720 --> 0:02:06.680
<v Speaker 4>African flags.

0:02:07.880 --> 0:02:12.040
<v Speaker 3>You know, you never see black people blackwashing white culture,

0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.200
<v Speaker 3>and a few times you do see black people being

0:02:14.240 --> 0:02:17.320
<v Speaker 3>given inclusion in something white, you get reactions like, you know,

0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:19.120
<v Speaker 3>a highly got for the little mermaid? You know, and

0:02:19.160 --> 0:02:21.560
<v Speaker 3>I have no idea. You know, why we think we

0:02:21.639 --> 0:02:24.079
<v Speaker 3>need white people is to face the Juneteenth as much

0:02:24.080 --> 0:02:27.320
<v Speaker 3>backlash as we give Republican legislators for trying to retail

0:02:27.400 --> 0:02:30.360
<v Speaker 3>American history and for creating laws to keep real discussions

0:02:30.360 --> 0:02:31.080
<v Speaker 3>of race out of.

0:02:31.120 --> 0:02:33.560
<v Speaker 2>Schools and banning books about race.

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.519
<v Speaker 3>I but trying to hide the truth about this country,

0:02:35.639 --> 0:02:38.720
<v Speaker 3>especially in regards, you know, to anything to do with

0:02:38.760 --> 0:02:42.480
<v Speaker 3>black people. Why as a black person would you ever

0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:45.600
<v Speaker 3>want or think to gentrify June teenth?

0:02:46.240 --> 0:02:48.320
<v Speaker 2>Are you doing this so Starbucks gives us our own

0:02:48.360 --> 0:02:49.200
<v Speaker 2>specialty drink?

0:02:49.240 --> 0:02:52.919
<v Speaker 3>Do you want a caramel blackachino for June teenth?

0:02:53.280 --> 0:02:55.400
<v Speaker 2>What's that thing you'd be drinking? Envy? Do it?

0:02:55.440 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 6>Deliminade? No macado, machiato machiato? You want to sweet potato mai?

0:03:03.680 --> 0:03:06.799
<v Speaker 6>You want to sweep potato machiato? Do you think those

0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:09.560
<v Speaker 6>flavors can only be obtained by including mayonnaise on the

0:03:09.600 --> 0:03:10.520
<v Speaker 6>June teenth menu?

0:03:10.600 --> 0:03:10.760
<v Speaker 4>Oh?

0:03:10.760 --> 0:03:13.079
<v Speaker 2>I know what it is. You want Whole.

0:03:12.800 --> 0:03:15.600
<v Speaker 3>Foods to have a June teen special? You want organic

0:03:15.680 --> 0:03:18.680
<v Speaker 3>chicken and seedless organic Guatermelon on sale. You think those

0:03:18.720 --> 0:03:21.720
<v Speaker 3>things can only happen if white people are involved. This

0:03:21.840 --> 0:03:24.720
<v Speaker 3>is just like when they took the Five Heart Beats

0:03:24.720 --> 0:03:26.440
<v Speaker 3>off the cover of that album because the label thought

0:03:26.440 --> 0:03:28.160
<v Speaker 3>it would help sell better with white people on the cover,

0:03:28.320 --> 0:03:29.359
<v Speaker 3>which was actually a thing.

0:03:29.720 --> 0:03:31.120
<v Speaker 2>They used to always do this in music.

0:03:31.160 --> 0:03:34.040
<v Speaker 3>Okay, it's likely, yeah, back in the day, it'd be

0:03:34.080 --> 0:03:36.119
<v Speaker 3>black artists, but it'd be white people on the cover.

0:03:36.880 --> 0:03:39.160
<v Speaker 3>It's like Brad Pitt playing the Mexican of Tom Cruise

0:03:39.160 --> 0:03:41.800
<v Speaker 3>playing the last Samurai. Okay, now, the co found depeat

0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:43.800
<v Speaker 3>lee that the last thing we want to do is

0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:47.800
<v Speaker 3>exclude people like they did for us, which is true,

0:03:48.000 --> 0:03:51.560
<v Speaker 3>but you don't have to exclusively invite the people that

0:03:51.720 --> 0:03:52.840
<v Speaker 3>actually did us wrong.

0:03:53.280 --> 0:03:53.480
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:03:53.520 --> 0:03:56.840
<v Speaker 3>This is the celebration of our people being free, all right.

0:03:56.840 --> 0:03:59.119
<v Speaker 3>That's like getting released from jail and inviting the cop

0:03:59.160 --> 0:04:02.680
<v Speaker 3>and judge. That's since you away to your welcome home party. Okay,

0:04:03.120 --> 0:04:04.360
<v Speaker 3>you know what, I don't even know why I'm trying

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.000
<v Speaker 3>to explain this. My good sister of man, Deciell's had

0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.640
<v Speaker 3>some thoughts about this, and she summed it up quite nicely.

0:04:09.720 --> 0:04:12.120
<v Speaker 2>Let's listen, you're black people.

0:04:13.120 --> 0:04:16.560
<v Speaker 7>June teenth, is our day. You don't have to feel

0:04:16.560 --> 0:04:18.479
<v Speaker 7>any kind of way about white people not being included

0:04:18.480 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 7>in Juneteenth because they are included in Juneteenth as the

0:04:21.360 --> 0:04:25.160
<v Speaker 7>descendants of enslavers. But June teen should be about unity.

0:04:26.080 --> 0:04:30.280
<v Speaker 7>Why this country is not about unity? Juneteenth is an

0:04:30.279 --> 0:04:33.800
<v Speaker 7>American holiday. If you're not going to teach true history

0:04:33.800 --> 0:04:36.640
<v Speaker 7>in American schools, then don't come trying to take black

0:04:36.680 --> 0:04:40.280
<v Speaker 7>holidays and call them American holidays. The point is is

0:04:40.320 --> 0:04:42.800
<v Speaker 7>that black folks can be all right celebrating a day

0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:45.760
<v Speaker 7>for black folks without feeling like we have to include

0:04:46.040 --> 0:04:50.800
<v Speaker 7>other folks. I don't see Christians spinning dradles for hanka ads.

0:04:50.560 --> 0:04:53.400
<v Speaker 2>But hey, points you're made.

0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:58.880
<v Speaker 3>Please give the organizers of June teenth in Greenville the

0:04:58.880 --> 0:05:00.280
<v Speaker 3>sweet sounds of Hamilton's please.

0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:18.640
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, you are the dog the day, all right.

0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.479
<v Speaker 3>This whole story got me thinking, why is there not

0:05:21.520 --> 0:05:23.479
<v Speaker 3>a sweet potato macarena?

0:05:23.560 --> 0:05:24.680
<v Speaker 2>What's it going? Oh my god?

0:05:24.920 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 3>Because you don't even know what it is. Why is

0:05:27.880 --> 0:05:29.919
<v Speaker 3>there not a sweet potato machado? Wouldn't that be fire?

0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.400
<v Speaker 2>You don't have you ever had a machiato? No?

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:36.360
<v Speaker 3>Okay, Like I just feel like a warm, sweet potato

0:05:36.360 --> 0:05:38.960
<v Speaker 3>back flavor beverage from Starbucks would be amazing.

0:05:39.200 --> 0:05:41.159
<v Speaker 2>Starbucks is not gonna be sweet enough. You know, they

0:05:41.240 --> 0:05:42.119
<v Speaker 2>stingy on the sugar.

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:46.440
<v Speaker 3>We got a Duncan, Oh, Duncan, dunk the they capitalized

0:05:46.480 --> 0:05:49.960
<v Speaker 3>on the sugar. Now, Duncan has been a fantastic sponsor

0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:53.640
<v Speaker 3>of the Breakfast Breakfast Club. We might need to do

0:05:53.680 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 3>that for June teens Breakfast Club. Sweet potato hot chocolate.

0:06:00.160 --> 0:06:03.160
<v Speaker 3>That would be potato something, And then maybe y'all can

0:06:03.320 --> 0:06:05.320
<v Speaker 3>stop buying so much Starbucks.

0:06:05.480 --> 0:06:07.200
<v Speaker 2>That's not that's not Why would you lie?

0:06:07.560 --> 0:06:08.920
<v Speaker 6>But you know, you know, and they charge you if

0:06:08.960 --> 0:06:10.480
<v Speaker 6>you say if you go to Starbucks and say no ice,

0:06:10.520 --> 0:06:11.240
<v Speaker 6>you know they charge you.

0:06:11.200 --> 0:06:14.279
<v Speaker 2>Extra for that, like because they charged you actually because.

0:06:14.080 --> 0:06:17.560
<v Speaker 6>He means you want more juice lemonade on y'all like this, y'all,

0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.680

<v Speaker 3>Misrepresented my words on your recent breakfast club conversation with brothers.

0:06:55.600 --> 0:06:56.200
<v Speaker 2>Should make more.

0:06:56.240 --> 0:06:59.600
<v Speaker 3>Based on reports I received, I criticized the possibility of

0:06:59.640 --> 0:07:02.960
<v Speaker 3>the new movie showcasing snow bunny hopping to our black children.

0:07:03.240 --> 0:07:05.599
<v Speaker 3>Having not yet viewed the movie myself, I was in

0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.919
<v Speaker 3>no position to tell others not to support it. Nothing

0:07:07.960 --> 0:07:09.880
<v Speaker 3>but respect for you, sinster, but please try not to

0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:11.960
<v Speaker 3>misquote your brother going forward appreciatively?

<v Speaker 2>Did you miss quotehim on I didn't know. I didn't.

<v Speaker 2>I don't think it was a misquote, and it wasn't

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:19.160
<v Speaker 2>a miss quote. I don't be misquoting people. And then

0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.200
