Uh, Well, I think I said on the show. 185 00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 2: I thought I did at least one of them I 186 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 2: started listening to. I mean, obviously it's gonna be a process. 187 00:09:56,080 --> 00:09:58,040 Speaker 2: I can't learn all this shit overnight, and I still 188 00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,320 Speaker 2: have a bunch of other podcasts and ship that I'm doing. 189 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:02,959 Speaker 2: But one of the ones I started listening to was 190 00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,480 Speaker 2: by me any means necessary. I've listened to probably four 191 00:10:05,559 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 2: or five episodes UH in the last week. It's a 192 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,280 Speaker 2: news and politics podcasts that comes on radio spot Nick. 193 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:18,000 Speaker 2: It's UH hosted by his guy name UH Eugene Pi 194 00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:21,720 Speaker 2: Poor Year or Poor Year or something like that, and 195 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,360 Speaker 2: he has different people on the talks to him and 196 00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:27,600 Speaker 2: UH talks about like current issues. I I was kind 197 00:10:27,600 --> 00:10:30,040 Speaker 2: of intrigued because they uh, I believe it's a black gentleman. 198 00:10:30,120 --> 00:10:36,360 Speaker 2: They talk about black uh, like black issues and political stuff. 199 00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 2: One of the things about it that I that I 200 00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:39,920 Speaker 2: like is like, you know, he has like people from 201 00:10:39,960 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 2: Black Lives Matter on there, he'll have people that are 202 00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,120 Speaker 2: LGBTQ on there and stuff like that, and that was 203 00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 2: very important to me to hear the other perspectives and 204 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:53,560 Speaker 2: it doesn't sound too preachy and stuff. One of the 205 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 2: things about it that is interesting though, is, uh, at 206 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: least so far that I'm listening to, is like, they 207 00:10:58,360 --> 00:11:00,960 Speaker 2: talk about these really high level problems and then I'm 208 00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 2: just like, there, how can a person change that? You know, 209 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:08,320 Speaker 2: It's like, Oh, we want to get it so that 210 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 2: there's no nuclear weapons or whatever. I'm just like, is 211 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: that even a thing that is possible? I wonder, you know. 212 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,120 Speaker 2: But yeah, I've been listening to them just to kind 213 00:11:17,160 --> 00:11:19,560 Speaker 2: of get there, you know, and I like, I listened 214 00:11:19,559 --> 00:11:21,520 Speaker 2: to one episode we talked about there's not a dimes 215 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:25,240 Speaker 2: work for difference between Democrats and and Republicans. 216 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,040 Speaker 3: But I think this was before the election. 217 00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:31,079 Speaker 2: I don't know. I wonder. I'm gonna just keep listening 218 00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,040 Speaker 2: to see if that develops or if that's just something 219 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:38,560 Speaker 2: that I mean, they think period, because I think I 220 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:40,800 Speaker 2: probably will never get to the point where I agree 221 00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:44,680 Speaker 2: that there's no difference between the Democrats and Republicans, even 222 00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:50,360 Speaker 2: while thinking that Democrats are not the solution to ending 223 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:52,520 Speaker 2: racism or anything. But I just think that they are 224 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,080 Speaker 2: they are better than Republicans. I don't really know how 225 00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 2: that can't be disputed so anyway, But yeah, that's one 226 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,760 Speaker 2: of the ones I listening to, and I'll let y'all 227 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:04,760 Speaker 2: know as I listen to more, because like I said, 228 00:12:04,800 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 2: this is just one. This is like a first step. 229 00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:08,440 Speaker 2: I also have a couple of books on the way 230 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,800 Speaker 2: that I ordered and stuff like that too, So. 231 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:15,800 Speaker 3: People have been suggesting a lot of stuff. 232 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,160 Speaker 2: I'm not going to be able to read everything, like 233 00:12:18,200 --> 00:12:20,440 Speaker 2: I'm not because some of the stuff is like you know, 234 00:12:20,679 --> 00:12:22,079 Speaker 2: at this point, I'm probably up to like ten or 235 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 2: twelve books that people want me to read. Like, I'm 236 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:25,480 Speaker 2: just gonna have to pick and choose what I can 237 00:12:25,679 --> 00:12:28,880 Speaker 2: find time to read in addition to all the shit 238 00:12:28,920 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 2: I'm already doing. But yeah, you know, I'm gonna read 239 00:12:31,840 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 2: about it, and like I said, after I learned a 240 00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,640 Speaker 2: little bit more, I think I'm gonna reach out and 241 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,760 Speaker 2: try to maybe do some interviews with some people and 242 00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 2: we'll see how we handle that because I don't want 243 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:43,720 Speaker 2: to put it behind the paywall. But at the same time, 244 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 2: it probably wouldn't make a good episode of the show necessarily, 245 00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:50,920 Speaker 2: but we can probably figure some like maybe some freemium 246 00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 2: type way to put that out so people can hear 247 00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:55,199 Speaker 2: it too, because I do want people to I want 248 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:56,600 Speaker 2: to spread the word. I do want people to hear 249 00:12:56,640 --> 00:13:00,440 Speaker 2: it and at least consider it, you know. Rather, I 250 00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,760 Speaker 2: just want to have a conversation that's not about me 251 00:13:03,960 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 2: telling them you think this gonna solve racism and you 252 00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 2: just about Bernie and them telling me, you know you 253 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,880 Speaker 2: a democratic sheep on the plantation. That's a Hillary body, 254 00:13:14,960 --> 00:13:16,840 Speaker 2: you know, Like, I don't want to have that discussion, 255 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 2: and I think we can have a better discussion on 256 00:13:20,960 --> 00:13:24,800 Speaker 2: the show anyway.

It's an important pole to me 436 00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:09,760 Speaker 2: because I think the discussions we had in the past 437 00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,119 Speaker 2: and the discussions that I see on social media, a 438 00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:14,040 Speaker 2: lot of black people are just like nay. But it's 439 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,240 Speaker 2: because of the experience that they've had talking to people 440 00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:19,040 Speaker 2: that claim to be socialists on. 441 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:20,880 Speaker 3: Social media and it's just a big ass turnoff. 442 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,280 Speaker 2: But we had a different type of discussion on the show, 443 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,680 Speaker 2: and I'm like, you know, how do y'all feel about 444 00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:27,080 Speaker 2: it now? 445 00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:28,000 Speaker 4: Yay? 446 00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,800 Speaker 2: Sixteen point three percent of people are like, yeah, positively, 447 00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 2: Like I'm down. Black socialism sounds great. 448 00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 4: Nay. 449 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 2: Nine point three percent. That's that's still very low. That's 450 00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 2: not a lot of people. That's out of ten or 451 00:22:39,760 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 2: ten people are against it, which is something I've always thought. 452 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:44,639 Speaker 2: I don't think it's about black people being for or 453 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,720 Speaker 2: against capitalism or socialism any of that shit. Black people 454 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: are trying to navigate and survive in the ways that 455 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 2: they think our best, right, Like, if you're born an 456 00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,560 Speaker 2: American and you're black, it's always gonna be a matter 457 00:22:55,640 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 2: of navigating the best of the choices you have. I 458 00:23:00,840 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 2: don't think black people in mass are holding on to 459 00:23:03,960 --> 00:23:07,080 Speaker 2: capitalism as much as they're holding on to life and 460 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 2: that's one of the few ways that they are able 461 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,400 Speaker 2: to live. And then I don't know much about it. 462 00:23:13,440 --> 00:23:15,800 Speaker 2: Seventy five percent of the audience doesn't know much about it. 463 00:23:15,840 --> 00:23:18,520 Speaker 2: Think about that. We have a very savvy audience, you 464 00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 2: have a very smart audience. You have a very black audience. 465 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 2: Seventy five percent of people in our fucking audience are like, 466 00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:29,360 Speaker 2: I don't really know that much about it. They don't 467 00:23:29,400 --> 00:23:31,239 Speaker 2: teach it, they don't want us to know about it. 468 00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 2: The people that they've killed people in the name of this, 469 00:23:34,359 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 2: they you know, like some of the organizations that have 470 00:23:38,200 --> 00:23:42,280 Speaker 2: like used tennis of socialism have been fucking like reduced 471 00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,640 Speaker 2: to ashes. The people are in prison. They don't want 472 00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:47,399 Speaker 2: us to know about it in the first place, and 473 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:50,440 Speaker 2: it's working. So yeah, man, this is one of the 474 00:23:50,480 --> 00:23:55,159 Speaker 2: reasons I'm committed to learn about it, just so I 475 00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:58,359 Speaker 2: can know, Like I said, I'm not whatever I learned, 476 00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 2: I know I won't be turned around to Collin black people, 477 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:04,240 Speaker 2: coons and shit for not agreeing. The next one was 478 00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 2: episode fourteen seventy six, We Don't Know Your Work. When 479 00:24:08,960 --> 00:24:12,480 Speaker 2: Marissa rollin and about you know, socialism and stuff and 480 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:16,040 Speaker 2: at least allowed us to clarify a bit more exactly 481 00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:20,800 Speaker 2: what I feel and whatnot, because I think in these discussions, 482 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:25,280 Speaker 2: because people have so many discussions about it that are 483 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:28,359 Speaker 2: very dismissive of one side or the other. I think 484 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:34,040 Speaker 2: people here or not even here, people get afraid that 485 00:24:34,080 --> 00:24:36,719 Speaker 2: you're going to hop into the same patterns that other 486 00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:40,960 Speaker 2: people have. So it's like, I'm afraid you're gonna just 487 00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 2: be like, oh, so y'all think y'all gonna fix racism 488 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,480 Speaker 2: because y'all gonna get socialism.

I was like, no, it 494 00:24:57,240 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 2: was a good opportunity to clarify because if you thinking it, 495 00:25:00,680 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 2: then that meant a bunch of other people are thinking it, 496 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 2: And that's a bunch of emails that we would have 497 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 2: got throughout the week that maybe we avoid it by 498 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,159 Speaker 2: talking about this now so that we can be one 499 00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:13,000 Speaker 2: hundred percent clear that you know, anyway far says, here's 500 00:25:13,000 --> 00:25:16,880 Speaker 2: the thing about housing discrimination. LGBT people aren't a federally 501 00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:19,440 Speaker 2: protected class. So if you're not living in a state 502 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 2: or a city that protects specifically has anti LGBT discrimination 503 00:25:23,560 --> 00:25:25,639 Speaker 2: laws on the books, there's no legal recourse in the 504 00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,200 Speaker 2: same way there's for race. Fair housing laws don't apply 505 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 2: to us. That's true. That's true, like even with the 506 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:40,600 Speaker 2: whole Like LGBT people get higher proposed higher rent, get 507 00:25:40,680 --> 00:25:43,680 Speaker 2: rejected from housing more often. This shit gets shown less 508 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:47,040 Speaker 2: housing units and stuff. Even if you could prove it, 509 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:47,800 Speaker 2: what are you gonna do? 510 00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 4: Right? 511 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,479 Speaker 2: Social media says I'm not on Twitter a lot, but 512 00:25:52,560 --> 00:25:54,560 Speaker 2: here's something to be aware of when it comes to 513 00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:57,600 Speaker 2: the Bernie Bros and the Bernie Brothers, particularly on social media. 514 00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:00,320 Speaker 2: Part of the Russia's active measure campaign was in and 515 00:26:00,359 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 2: up divisions between liberal people via social media sites. Logic 516 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,400 Speaker 2: tells me to assume that at least a few black 517 00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 2: people fail. For we know that Russia targeted the occupy 518 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 2: movement with propaganda misinformation to distract them. I wonder if 519 00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,560 Speaker 2: they would have targeted black social media too. This could 520 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 2: explain some of the further coming off of random accounts. 521 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:21,040 Speaker 2: Propaganda spreads among otherwise well meaning people. I just have 522 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,960 Speaker 2: to take everything with a grain of salt and try 523 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,240 Speaker 2: to look at the real world where things get crazy. 524 00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 2: Bernie's push the move Dems left is good in theory, 525 00:26:28,200 --> 00:26:30,280 Speaker 2: but I saw my own eyes during the campaign that 526 00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,600 Speaker 2: he leaves people of color out of his strategy. I 527 00:26:32,640 --> 00:26:35,040 Speaker 2: also used to work in the Senate. His name is 528 00:26:35,080 --> 00:26:37,320 Speaker 2: trash in those streets because he's always been more talk 529 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,920 Speaker 2: than action, but had to talk led to the nomination. 530 00:26:40,040 --> 00:26:43,640 Speaker 2: I absolutely would have voted for him me too, Rod, 531 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,680 Speaker 2: I think you're right that black people are savvy enough 532 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 2: to see what's in front of us and make pragmatic decisions. 533 00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:50,600 Speaker 2: I mean, look at how right black women voters got 534 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,960 Speaker 2: it when the world is such a ball of confusion. 535 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,360 Speaker 2: Look at how vocally we support socialist programs like Medicaid, Medicare, 536 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: and social Security. For the most part, we love our 537 00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:03,480 Speaker 2: interest we vote our interests, unlike poor, middle class and 538 00:27:03,560 --> 00:27:07,560 Speaker 2: rural GOP and Trump voters who put ideology first ideology, 539 00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,640 Speaker 2: White passionate can' and uh can end up getting while 540 00:27:10,680 --> 00:27:14,000 Speaker 2: passionate can end up getting you a whole lot of nothing. Yeah, man, 541 00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,840 Speaker 2: there's a few things about that that I that I 542 00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:21,200 Speaker 2: just I can't see it anywhere other way than anti blackness, 543 00:27:21,200 --> 00:27:24,800 Speaker 2: and I just don't have no I haven't heard an 544 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:29,359 Speaker 2: argument that I would accept for the way that people 545 00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,280 Speaker 2: talk about black voters sometimes, like with the whole like 546 00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,240 Speaker 2: y'all worship by Obama and shit, it's like, first of all, 547 00:27:37,280 --> 00:27:40,960 Speaker 2: we're human beings, and you're out of your fucking mind. 548 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:43,800 Speaker 2: If you're gonna act like having a black president wasn't 549 00:27:43,800 --> 00:27:47,359 Speaker 2: a huge milestone for the vast majority of Black Americans 550 00:27:47,800 --> 00:27:53,320 Speaker 2: that have come up from fucking slavery and shit in captivity, 551 00:27:53,920 --> 00:27:56,720 Speaker 2: you fuck you, literally, fuck you, Like, if you're not 552 00:27:56,720 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 2: gonna allow black people to have that emotion, you ain't shit, 553 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:01,640 Speaker 2: and you don't pretend to be on my side. Don't 554 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,920 Speaker 2: pretend to be cool with me. You really are a 555 00:28:03,960 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 2: fucked up human being. The other part of it that's 556 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 2: interesting is when people say shit like y'all on a 557 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,800 Speaker 2: Democratic plantation. Black people don't have a huge amount of 558 00:28:15,840 --> 00:28:20,000 Speaker 2: loyalty to the Democrats. Stop calling it loyalty. It's not loyalty, 559 00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:24,000 Speaker 2: it's pragmatism. If there was a better option that people 560 00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:27,000 Speaker 2: felt was feasible, they would vote for that. The problem 561 00:28:27,119 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 2: is the feasibility of these other options are all fucked up. 562 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,440 Speaker 2: There's neither not enough people over there, and and black 563 00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:37,359 Speaker 2: people alone can't move it by itself. Or if it 564 00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,840 Speaker 2: is enough people over there, the white people over there 565 00:28:39,880 --> 00:28:43,040 Speaker 2: are just as fucked up. So that like, like that's 566 00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,360 Speaker 2: always gonna be the problem in America is either like 567 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,200 Speaker 2: unless they build some better white people who are you 568 00:28:51,240 --> 00:28:56,680 Speaker 2: know who who are who are willing to step aside, 569 00:28:56,880 --> 00:28:59,560 Speaker 2: We're it's always gonna come to a head the same way, 570 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:02,640 Speaker 2: like a for I know, for a fact, if Bernie 571 00:29:02,680 --> 00:29:05,440 Speaker 2: Sanders is black, white people wouldn't your night behind him? 572 00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:07,480 Speaker 2: And we all know that he could keep the same 573 00:29:07,520 --> 00:29:10,640 Speaker 2: political ideology, he could march with King all that shit. 574 00:29:10,960 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 2: If he was a black man spitting those same fucking words, 575 00:29:13,560 --> 00:29:15,840 Speaker 2: he could even pivot away from race the way that 576 00:29:15,880 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 2: he does now, and white people will still be like, nah, 577 00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:21,480 Speaker 2: something about him, I don't trust right, you know, So 578 00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 2: it's always gonna be that for us, So yeah, you know. 579 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,040 Speaker 2: And then the last thing I would say is sometimes 580 00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,840 Speaker 2: when I hear people talk about democratic voters, they want 581 00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:34,680 Speaker 2: to have it both ways, right, Like it's I'm very listen, 582 00:29:34,760 --> 00:29:37,520 Speaker 2: I'm very pro black woman.

So 656 00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:51,280 Speaker 2: I feel like that's why I get stuck with some 657 00:32:51,320 --> 00:32:54,120 Speaker 2: of this, some of these ideas where it's a fine 658 00:32:54,160 --> 00:32:56,160 Speaker 2: line between being like I want the best for us 659 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,000 Speaker 2: and I want us to to fight for it together, 660 00:32:59,040 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 2: and I want us to consider all options and going 661 00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 2: you niggas are stupid because you didn't make the choice 662 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:08,320 Speaker 2: I made. It's a big ass difference, you know. Like 663 00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,920 Speaker 2: y'all heard me on this show. As much as I 664 00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:14,560 Speaker 2: think voting third party was just not the way to 665 00:33:14,600 --> 00:33:17,760 Speaker 2: go for black people last year, and not voting, I 666 00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 2: didn't think it was a good way to go for 667 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,480 Speaker 2: black people. Y'all even heard me come on the show 668 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,840 Speaker 2: and blame black people once for that shit, and I 669 00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,560 Speaker 2: never will. We got to allow ourselves to have some 670 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,320 Speaker 2: room to do what the fuck we need to do 671 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:33,760 Speaker 2: to survive. If you really think Jill Stein was gonna 672 00:33:33,840 --> 00:33:37,360 Speaker 2: like fucking that vote, was gonna make a statement, then 673 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:40,560 Speaker 2: that's what you thought. You know. I can think whatever 674 00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:42,640 Speaker 2: I want to about you making that decision, about it 675 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:46,360 Speaker 2: being selfish or about it being short sighted, blah blah blah, 676 00:33:46,520 --> 00:33:48,240 Speaker 2: but end of the day, you were working with the 677 00:33:48,280 --> 00:33:51,280 Speaker 2: same information. I had a lot of people just thought 678 00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:54,000 Speaker 2: heal he was gonna win. Every pole had her winning. 679 00:33:54,680 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 2: A lot of people got comfortable under Obama. You know, 680 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,240 Speaker 2: a lot of shit happened, but in general we still 681 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:06,240 Speaker 2: stuck together. So so it's that kind of shit. So yeah, 682 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 2: I as far that the thing about people getting in propaganda, 683 00:34:11,440 --> 00:34:12,879 Speaker 2: I don't know how much of that is what I'm 684 00:34:12,880 --> 00:34:15,600 Speaker 2: experiencing online. I like to think that these black people 685 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:19,960 Speaker 2: are that they're being authentic. I would like to think 686 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,719 Speaker 2: that rather than the thing they can't possibly mean it, 687 00:34:22,719 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 2: because I mean, some of these people I knew before 688 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:26,319 Speaker 2: the election, I. 689 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 5: Mean maybe meant it, like right, I don't think you know, 690 00:34:30,600 --> 00:34:32,719 Speaker 5: I think you're a real person and you meant it. 691 00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, maybe, I mean it's a possibility. 692 00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:39,200 Speaker 2: Some of these people, you know, have done with white 693 00:34:39,239 --> 00:34:42,040 Speaker 2: a lot. I mean, shit, it's it's absolutely possible because 694 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:44,520 Speaker 2: we know what happened with white people that they're just 695 00:34:44,640 --> 00:34:47,160 Speaker 2: like on these websites and Reddit and shit, and they're 696 00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 2: just believe in every conspiracy and they're you know, all 697 00:34:50,840 --> 00:34:54,040 Speaker 2: that it's possible. But I don't think it's as likely 698 00:34:54,080 --> 00:34:58,000 Speaker 2: with black people because once again, the majority of black 699 00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:01,560 Speaker 2: people that voted voted them. They voted for Hillary Clinton. 700 00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:05,759 Speaker 2: I mean, if we it couldn't be programming toil the 701 00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:09,120 Speaker 2: point that white people got programmed whatever happened. So I 702 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:11,000 Speaker 2: don't know. I don't think it was hacking Orny. I 703 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 2: just really think they're black people that just don't believe 704 00:35:15,480 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 2: the same thing is, you know, it's just online we 705 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 2: reward people for not knowing how to talk to people 706 00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,360 Speaker 2: or for being for dragging and all that shit, and 707 00:35:23,400 --> 00:35:28,600 Speaker 2: so the conversations are just very they're very belligerent when 708 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:31,359 Speaker 2: they don't have to be correct, and I think that's 709 00:35:31,400 --> 00:35:33,360 Speaker 2: the issue for me. So I'm just not talking to 710 00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:35,600 Speaker 2: people about it online. I'll find another way to talk 711 00:35:35,640 --> 00:35:39,839 Speaker 2: to people. I'm sorry, can I did not even cut 712 00:35:39,880 --> 00:35:40,200 Speaker 2: you off. 713 00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:43,640 Speaker 5: I agree and feel like this if it is but 714 00:35:44,520 --> 00:35:45,880 Speaker 5: about half a percentage. 715 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:46,399 Speaker 4: Most of the. 716 00:35:46,360 --> 00:35:50,720 Speaker 5: People are real human beings, even to quote unquote hackers. 717 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:54,319 Speaker 5: Guess what they are, real human beings that hacking on 718 00:35:54,320 --> 00:35:55,000 Speaker 5: the twit or whatever. 719 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:56,960 Speaker 4: But there's still people behind the accounts. 720 00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,959 Speaker 5: At the end of the day, it's still a human 721 00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:01,600 Speaker 5: being that made as to make that statement as far 722 00:36:01,600 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 5: as I'm concerned. 723 00:36:03,160 --> 00:36:08,120 Speaker 2: Right, So yeah, man, he says.

I went to 800 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,680 Speaker 2: school for marketing, beloved politics and policies, so decided to 801 00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,360 Speaker 2: get go back to school for political science in my 802 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,040 Speaker 2: late twenties. The socialism and ideology is very complex in 803 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:58,920 Speaker 2: the sense of how well it would do or would 804 00:39:59,040 --> 00:40:01,520 Speaker 2: or wouldn't work here, especially for people of color. But 805 00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:04,160 Speaker 2: not because there aren't good things about socialism that would 806 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 2: help us, because there are, but because there's no real 807 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:11,040 Speaker 2: documented case of socialism working in a non homogeneous country. 808 00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 2: All the places where it works best are pretty much 809 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:17,840 Speaker 2: singlece single cultured places. Whether minority population is so small, 810 00:40:17,880 --> 00:40:20,240 Speaker 2: they don't really they really don't have to address those needs. 811 00:40:20,880 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 2: The other part of it is, unfortunately, just like everything 812 00:40:24,400 --> 00:40:26,640 Speaker 2: else in America, in order for something to work, you 813 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:28,680 Speaker 2: need white people to buy in. And I know it 814 00:40:28,719 --> 00:40:30,640 Speaker 2: seems like socialism is one of those things white people 815 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:32,759 Speaker 2: are always talking about, but it's such a small percentage of 816 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:34,800 Speaker 2: white people who think it's a good idea for a 817 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,879 Speaker 2: number of reasons. During Obama's years is potus the Tea Party, 818 00:40:37,920 --> 00:40:40,080 Speaker 2: when they weren't calling him racist names, we're calling him 819 00:40:40,080 --> 00:40:43,040 Speaker 2: a Marxist socialist and all that stuff, and everyone who 820 00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:46,600 Speaker 2: knows even the smallest about socialists, No Obama is not that. Yeah, 821 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,839 Speaker 2: that was funny because I always felt like, and Jail 822 00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,479 Speaker 2: Covid has a joke about this, but I always felt 823 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,200 Speaker 2: like when they called Obama socialist in two thousand and eight. 824 00:40:56,360 --> 00:41:00,799 Speaker 2: It was really just code for nigger correct and I'm 825 00:41:00,840 --> 00:41:03,640 Speaker 2: dead serious, like because he was the furthest thing, not 826 00:41:03,680 --> 00:41:08,560 Speaker 2: the furthest thing. But he never, ever, like was talking 827 00:41:08,600 --> 00:41:12,719 Speaker 2: about socialism. Like his shit was always like, look, these 828 00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 2: are democratic, liberal ideas, centrist ideas, pragmatic ideas. I can 829 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:22,000 Speaker 2: be convinced to move to the left. I can be 830 00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:24,520 Speaker 2: convinced to move to the right. But we had to 831 00:41:24,520 --> 00:41:26,560 Speaker 2: talk about it. We have to see what the consensus 832 00:41:26,680 --> 00:41:28,920 Speaker 2: is and meet in the middle. That was his whole 833 00:41:28,920 --> 00:41:32,440 Speaker 2: fucking thing. And they were out here like he's a socialist, 834 00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,120 Speaker 2: he's from Kenya, and it was like, oh, y'all just 835 00:41:35,120 --> 00:41:38,560 Speaker 2: call him a nigger covert, sir. Yeah. 836 00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:38,440 Speaker 5: Uh. 837 00:41:38,600 --> 00:41:40,920 Speaker 2: There's an interesting book that we got to sign a 838 00:41:40,920 --> 00:41:42,960 Speaker 2: class called What's the Matter with Kansas, where they basically 839 00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,440 Speaker 2: try to explain why poor white working class continues to 840 00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 2: vote against our self interest. Of course, a large part 841 00:41:48,080 --> 00:41:49,799 Speaker 2: of that is racism and fear of the other, but 842 00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:53,200 Speaker 2: a real interesting part talked about socialism specifically. This reason 843 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:55,520 Speaker 2: had to do with race, but in the sense of whiteness. 844 00:41:55,600 --> 00:41:58,919 Speaker 2: There's a belief even by poor destitute whites, that they 845 00:41:58,960 --> 00:42:01,799 Speaker 2: are there children that their children will make it. So 846 00:42:01,840 --> 00:42:04,600 Speaker 2: they vote based on this fictional scenario that they or 847 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,280 Speaker 2: someone they love will be in the upper middle class 848 00:42:07,360 --> 00:42:09,799 Speaker 2: soon and they want those benefits too, so they vote 849 00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:12,160 Speaker 2: against their own health care, food stance, and welfare. And 850 00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:15,120 Speaker 2: they hate the idea of redistributing wealth and social programs 851 00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:17,319 Speaker 2: that help the poor because they believe they will pull 852 00:42:17,360 --> 00:42:19,239 Speaker 2: themselves out, and when they do, they don't want to 853 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:23,840 Speaker 2: give up anything. Yeah. I think what's interesting is the 854 00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:28,160 Speaker 2: socialism shit is to me, is like an extreme left debate, right, Like, 855 00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:30,959 Speaker 2: it's not a debate the most of the countries having 856 00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:35,200 Speaker 2: and most of the country never will because this country 857 00:42:35,239 --> 00:42:38,520 Speaker 2: is not that it's not a left country at all. 858 00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:42,000 Speaker 2: It's a right country. It's this country. You can't have 859 00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:44,759 Speaker 2: a country that has founded on racism and then be like, yeah, 860 00:42:44,800 --> 00:42:46,680 Speaker 2: we're very liberal. You can't have a country that has 861 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:48,960 Speaker 2: founded on white men are the only people that count, 862 00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:52,799 Speaker 2: but we're very liberal. You know. People have fought for 863 00:42:52,880 --> 00:42:55,080 Speaker 2: their rights and fought for the right to vote, the 864 00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,239 Speaker 2: right to fucking work, all this shit. Everybody's had to 865 00:42:58,239 --> 00:43:00,000 Speaker 2: fight tooth and nail if they want a white man 866 00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:03,040 Speaker 2: and just to get any progress, and the country's constantly 867 00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:07,440 Speaker 2: been pushing against that. So it's a privilege almost to 868 00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:10,719 Speaker 2: be able to have these debates about what's the best 869 00:43:10,760 --> 00:43:12,960 Speaker 2: way for the left to go, what's the most progressive 870 00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:15,239 Speaker 2: thing we can come up with possible, because the rest 871 00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:16,719 Speaker 2: of the country just ain't trying to hear it. It's 872 00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,920 Speaker 2: just like, well, the rest of us is gonna be voting. 873 00:43:19,239 --> 00:43:23,759 Speaker 2: Like I said, even if you felt even if you 874 00:43:23,760 --> 00:43:25,480 Speaker 2: feel like it would have been a victory, Like let's 875 00:43:25,480 --> 00:43:28,080 Speaker 2: say Hillary Clinton did win, even if she won, you 876 00:43:28,120 --> 00:43:32,600 Speaker 2: do realize fifty million people voted for Trump. That's a 877 00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:34,640 Speaker 2: lot of fucking people. The country is not as left 878 00:43:34,640 --> 00:43:38,399 Speaker 2: as people think. It never was, like the closest, Yeah, 879 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,799 Speaker 2: it's just it never was. But yeah, I feel you 880 00:43:40,800 --> 00:43:44,520 Speaker 2: though white. Pretty much, anything about voting that doesn't talk 881 00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:47,040 Speaker 2: about voter suppression or how to fuck to get white 882 00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:50,839 Speaker 2: people to change, we're gonna be shit out of luck, 883 00:43:51,600 --> 00:43:55,239 Speaker 2: you know, cause the talk right now isn't about getting 884 00:43:55,239 --> 00:43:57,359 Speaker 2: white people to change. It's about feeling sorry for white 885 00:43:57,360 --> 00:44:00,319 Speaker 2: people and going, let's move the left to the right 886 00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:03,799 Speaker 2: so white people will vote for the left again. That 887 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 2: that's already a losing proposition. Man, Like, even if even 888 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,560 Speaker 2: if it wins, it hurts everybody, even if it even 889 00:44:10,600 --> 00:44:12,880 Speaker 2: if you win, you know. So, I don't know. I 890 00:44:12,880 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 2: don't know. It feels hopeless to me to when I 891 00:44:16,480 --> 00:44:20,279 Speaker 2: think about this country and voting and politics and shit. 892 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:24,240 Speaker 2: I just feel hopeless because I'm like, just in six months, dude, 893 00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,759 Speaker 2: move the country all the way back, Like everything that 894 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,480 Speaker 2: was progressed under Obama might as well have not happen. 895 00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:31,759 Speaker 4: Because now it's like a reset. 896 00:44:32,320 --> 00:44:35,120 Speaker 2: It really is, it really is a reset to default whiteness. 897 00:44:35,440 --> 00:44:38,399 Speaker 2: I don't know, like I feel like some of these 898 00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:43,160 Speaker 2: like I'm more looking into a lot of these ideas 899 00:44:43,160 --> 00:44:45,680 Speaker 2: for my own self edification at this point, and because 900 00:44:45,719 --> 00:44:47,520 Speaker 2: I have the luxury and the privilege to be able 901 00:44:47,520 --> 00:44:49,799 Speaker 2: to do so at this point in my life where 902 00:44:49,800 --> 00:44:53,120 Speaker 2: I can kind of explore some things, but I don't. 903 00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:54,799 Speaker 2: But not for one second do I feel like the 904 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 2: most of the country is going through what I'm going through, 905 00:44:57,880 --> 00:44:59,520 Speaker 2: like most of the countries, just like I gotta go 906 00:44:59,560 --> 00:45:02,200 Speaker 2: to work, survive. I hope my healthcare doesn't get cut off, 907 00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,400 Speaker 2: my disability doesn't get cut off. I hope, Like I 908 00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:09,360 Speaker 2: just hope I can make it through four to eight years. 909 00:45:09,400 --> 00:45:11,000 Speaker 2: That's what I think most of the country is really 910 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,439 Speaker 2: going through it that didn't vote for Trump. I don't 911 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:19,120 Speaker 2: think it's really like I said, this is some some 912 00:45:19,160 --> 00:45:21,120 Speaker 2: privileged shit to be able to be like I don't them 913 00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,000 Speaker 2: to just study what socialism is an interview some people. 914 00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:25,600 Speaker 2: It's very privileged to be able to do this shit, 915 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:29,280 Speaker 2: because yeah, most people are not in this space, especially 916 00:45:29,360 --> 00:45:34,719 Speaker 2: black people. Right Anyway, I say all that to say, 917 00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:37,879 Speaker 2: the conversation about this always gets combatant with because most 918 00:45:37,920 --> 00:45:41,640 Speaker 2: people don't support and the ones that do not in 919 00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,320 Speaker 2: all cases, but in many feels, in many cases feel 920 00:45:44,320 --> 00:45:47,400 Speaker 2: like they know something that the other group does doesn't. 921 00:45:47,719 --> 00:45:50,799 Speaker 2: And that's just when you're talking about white socialism. When 922 00:45:50,840 --> 00:45:52,960 Speaker 2: you add race to it takes on a whole different 923 00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:55,879 Speaker 2: level and class. When this debate comes up, is often 924 00:45:55,880 --> 00:45:58,080 Speaker 2: black people, at least from my experience, is supporting it, 925 00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,759 Speaker 2: but also questioning this plausibility. First by nature, if there 926 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:04,239 Speaker 2: are no effects by the government big if to hurt 927 00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:07,000 Speaker 2: black people, then based on our demographics, now black and 928 00:46:07,040 --> 00:46:09,759 Speaker 2: brown people would be helped economically, I mean, how black 929 00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:13,000 Speaker 2: and blan people will be held economically by socialism? Even 930 00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:16,320 Speaker 2: Bernie's vision, however, it ignores the history of our country 931 00:46:16,360 --> 00:46:19,080 Speaker 2: to regard in regard to black and brown people and 932 00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:23,480 Speaker 2: policies of different groups also doesn't stop institutional racism, which 933 00:46:23,480 --> 00:46:27,160 Speaker 2: happens to all black people no matter what your economic status. 934 00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:30,440 Speaker 2: That is a long ass sentence, but I think I 935 00:46:30,800 --> 00:46:35,080 Speaker 2: think I followed it anyway. But yeah, you're right, it 936 00:46:35,160 --> 00:46:37,759 Speaker 2: doesn't matter if you're rich or poor. Racism is gonna 937 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:41,439 Speaker 2: come through. And you know the thing is, and like 938 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,560 Speaker 2: I said, I think it's a pr thing as long 939 00:46:43,600 --> 00:46:45,360 Speaker 2: as Bernie is the guy that most of us go 940 00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:49,320 Speaker 2: socialism Bernie, most of the country thinks that it's gonna 941 00:46:49,320 --> 00:46:52,200 Speaker 2: always be fucked up because it's gonna they're gonna he 942 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:54,520 Speaker 2: gonna always be lacking when it comes to talking about race. 943 00:46:54,560 --> 00:46:56,120 Speaker 2: He don't know no black people and he don't get 944 00:46:57,360 --> 00:46:59,360 Speaker 2: so it's gonna always be fucked up, and it's always 945 00:46:59,360 --> 00:47:01,839 Speaker 2: gonna leave a bad place a tastes in black people's mouth. 946 00:47:01,880 --> 00:47:03,839 Speaker 2: Because if you're it don't matter what color you are. 947 00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 2: If you're a politician and you won't even fucking talk 948 00:47:06,000 --> 00:47:12,960 Speaker 2: about how your policies are gonna help fight combat systemic racism, 949 00:47:13,640 --> 00:47:15,759 Speaker 2: you're gonna have black people being like, I don't really 950 00:47:15,840 --> 00:47:19,040 Speaker 2: like that motherfucker.

And that's why and 980 00:48:34,520 --> 00:48:36,920 Speaker 2: that's why he ain't do it. That's my belief. But 981 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:40,080 Speaker 2: you know, anyway, also, some black people believe in capitalism 982 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,120 Speaker 2: because in society that's racist. The only way to make 983 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,800 Speaker 2: it to be great and lead people withou know, is 984 00:48:44,840 --> 00:48:46,400 Speaker 2: the only way they make it to be is to 985 00:48:46,440 --> 00:48:48,480 Speaker 2: be great and leave people with know other choice. 986 00:48:49,040 --> 00:48:49,160 Speaker 5: Uh. 987 00:48:49,280 --> 00:48:51,719 Speaker 2: Sports is the best example of a meritocracy and pure 988 00:48:51,760 --> 00:48:54,680 Speaker 2: capitalism that we have. If we took away the salary 989 00:48:54,719 --> 00:48:56,880 Speaker 2: cap and black people can rent, can rise to the 990 00:48:56,920 --> 00:48:59,680 Speaker 2: top and demand that earned the most amount of money, 991 00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,400 Speaker 2: and that's free market working at its best. I know 992 00:49:02,520 --> 00:49:04,120 Speaker 2: this is long, but I just wanted to say, keep 993 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:06,759 Speaker 2: looking for information. We're always learning new things. It's good 994 00:49:06,800 --> 00:49:08,759 Speaker 2: to learn about sides and see what you where you fall. 995 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:11,640 Speaker 2: And either side is not right or wrong. It's an 996 00:49:11,680 --> 00:49:16,080 Speaker 2: actual ideological debate, but implementing that, especially with how white 997 00:49:16,080 --> 00:49:20,839 Speaker 2: people feel, would be tough. Thanks Brandon, Thanks Branding, and yeah, 998 00:49:20,960 --> 00:49:22,680 Speaker 2: I guess fe his ability is where I always get 999 00:49:22,719 --> 00:49:25,520 Speaker 2: stuck on with all this shit, Like, even when it 1000 00:49:25,560 --> 00:49:28,279 Speaker 2: comes up applying just democratic principles, I'm like, that shit 1001 00:49:28,280 --> 00:49:31,000 Speaker 2: ain't gonna work.

Right these 1014 00:50:05,480 --> 00:50:08,520 Speaker 2: long ass books anyways, I remember seeing a tweet telling 1015 00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:11,840 Speaker 2: you that they'll be there when you wake up. Bruh. 1016 00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,359 Speaker 2: I saw a few more similar and decided to check out. 1017 00:50:14,680 --> 00:50:16,359 Speaker 2: I don't know if it's because I'm old as fuck 1018 00:50:16,440 --> 00:50:18,480 Speaker 2: or because I'm Jadu's fuck. But I'm worried any new 1019 00:50:18,560 --> 00:50:20,879 Speaker 2: quote unquote product that says this is guaranteed to make 1020 00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:23,800 Speaker 2: us free to me, though, I'm willing to listen. But Twitter, 1021 00:50:23,800 --> 00:50:25,960 Speaker 2: it's certainly not the place to have such a discussion. Well, 1022 00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:29,239 Speaker 2: I'll say this man, Nobody that I discussed with, even 1023 00:50:29,239 --> 00:50:31,480 Speaker 2: the woman who teld me I'll be here for you 1024 00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,719 Speaker 2: when you wake up, even she wasn't being like cause 1025 00:50:34,760 --> 00:50:37,520 Speaker 2: it's gonna get us free. And honestly, once we got 1026 00:50:37,520 --> 00:50:41,000 Speaker 2: past the initial tweet, we had a good conversation. I 1027 00:50:41,080 --> 00:50:44,680 Speaker 2: just basically had to ignore that first tweet because, like 1028 00:50:44,680 --> 00:50:46,399 Speaker 2: I said, I feel like most people would have came 1029 00:50:46,440 --> 00:50:48,560 Speaker 2: at her and been like, the fuck you mean I'm 1030 00:50:48,560 --> 00:50:50,600 Speaker 2: gonna wake up? Blah blah blah. Then she would have 1031 00:50:50,600 --> 00:50:52,000 Speaker 2: been like, see, this is why we came forar with 1032 00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,319 Speaker 2: y'all niggas, and it would have got bad. So I 1033 00:50:54,440 --> 00:50:57,279 Speaker 2: decided to just kind of go okay, And then when 1034 00:50:57,320 --> 00:51:00,239 Speaker 2: she elaborated, I was like, Okay, well this is I 1035 00:51:00,239 --> 00:51:02,960 Speaker 2: feel about it, and she, you know, we kind of 1036 00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,839 Speaker 2: came like I was surprised by how much we had 1037 00:51:05,880 --> 00:51:07,640 Speaker 2: in common, because I thought she was gonna just do 1038 00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:09,680 Speaker 2: like the other people and make jokes about me and 1039 00:51:09,719 --> 00:51:12,239 Speaker 2: then you know, hope that I block them so they 1040 00:51:12,280 --> 00:51:14,480 Speaker 2: can make a you know, be funny with it. But 1041 00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,640 Speaker 2: she was basically like, nah, I feel you like whatever happened, 1042 00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:19,000 Speaker 2: because like my thing was like, well, what are we 1043 00:51:19,040 --> 00:51:22,759 Speaker 2: gonna do about white folks getting in our way if 1044 00:51:22,760 --> 00:51:26,160 Speaker 2: we decide to use this, cause you know, we're not like, 1045 00:51:26,200 --> 00:51:30,160 Speaker 2: it's not gonna be politically feasible because white people will 1046 00:51:30,239 --> 00:51:32,440 Speaker 2: never get on board with a true Consider's the thing 1047 00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:35,160 Speaker 2: about all this transition and wealth. What white people think 1048 00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:39,000 Speaker 2: transitioning wealth is is from corporations and rich white people 1049 00:51:39,360 --> 00:51:43,959 Speaker 2: to regular quote unquote white people, Right, that's the only 1050 00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:46,440 Speaker 2: thing they think it is because they don't think about 1051 00:51:46,480 --> 00:51:49,640 Speaker 2: what's below them. They don't think about the idea that 1052 00:51:50,000 --> 00:51:53,600 Speaker 2: middle class white families have thirteen times the wealth of 1053 00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:57,720 Speaker 2: middle class black families. The real transition would be money 1054 00:51:57,719 --> 00:52:04,040 Speaker 2: from whiteness to blackness, brownness, LGBTQ ness, womanness, like it 1055 00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:07,240 Speaker 2: would be that like white men giving up a whole 1056 00:52:07,280 --> 00:52:11,160 Speaker 2: lot of shit.

White While 1322 01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:21,320 Speaker 2: I get the joke, it wasn't as funny to me 1323 01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:23,200 Speaker 2: as it might be the other people. I realized that 1324 01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:25,040 Speaker 2: during the nineties, in the early part of the century, 1325 01:05:25,040 --> 01:05:27,400 Speaker 2: I was constantly traveling and not in the country. I 1326 01:05:27,440 --> 01:05:29,600 Speaker 2: totally missed the hip hop era. But if you really 1327 01:05:29,880 --> 01:05:32,680 Speaker 2: want to freak people out, there's a Chinese cover straight 1328 01:05:32,680 --> 01:05:35,840 Speaker 2: out of content. Incidentally, nigga n i g a is 1329 01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:39,160 Speaker 2: a real Mandarin word that loosely translated well, it's just 1330 01:05:39,240 --> 01:05:41,560 Speaker 2: something you say you trying to get your thoughts together 1331 01:05:41,720 --> 01:05:45,439 Speaker 2: to make a coherent sentence. Nigga, have a good day, 1332 01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:50,560 Speaker 2: thanks buddy. Uh, let me see what else you got here? 1333 01:05:52,320 --> 01:05:55,600 Speaker 2: Hope question mark or still keep my hope alive? This 1334 01:05:55,640 --> 01:05:59,320 Speaker 2: is from k who says, hello, I'm going to get 1335 01:05:59,320 --> 01:06:01,360 Speaker 2: straight to the point, ask what are some ways that 1336 01:06:01,480 --> 01:06:04,240 Speaker 2: still what are some ways that still give you hope 1337 01:06:04,640 --> 01:06:07,479 Speaker 2: or keeps you positive? Throughout the years with everything going 1338 01:06:07,520 --> 01:06:10,600 Speaker 2: on and to the world, it seems everywhere I look 1339 01:06:10,760 --> 01:06:13,720 Speaker 2: and everything I read about that the human race is 1340 01:06:13,760 --> 01:06:17,400 Speaker 2: not long for this planet, that despite human efforts, quote unquote, 1341 01:06:17,560 --> 01:06:19,640 Speaker 2: that there isn't much of a future for us. I 1342 01:06:19,720 --> 01:06:22,720 Speaker 2: found myself having massive and crippling panic attacks and not 1343 01:06:22,840 --> 01:06:24,760 Speaker 2: wanting to leave my house, jealous and resent for the 1344 01:06:24,800 --> 01:06:27,040 Speaker 2: older generations that got to live out their lives but 1345 01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:29,720 Speaker 2: left us basically no future to look forward to. I 1346 01:06:29,760 --> 01:06:32,160 Speaker 2: think about all the catastrophes and suffering that could and 1347 01:06:32,200 --> 01:06:35,160 Speaker 2: possibly will befollow us in the few coming years. I 1348 01:06:35,200 --> 01:06:38,840 Speaker 2: see the different theories and opinions of scientists, So I'm hopeful. 1349 01:06:38,920 --> 01:06:43,360 Speaker 2: So I'm not the extreme temperature whether and I honestly 1350 01:06:43,520 --> 01:06:45,640 Speaker 2: just going to call it quits. What's the point of 1351 01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:48,360 Speaker 2: going to school, getting a job, career, striving for a 1352 01:06:48,400 --> 01:06:50,480 Speaker 2: future with kids, et cetera, et cetera when everything is 1353 01:06:50,480 --> 01:06:52,960 Speaker 2: telling us that there isn't one no matter what we do. 1354 01:06:53,040 --> 01:06:55,919 Speaker 2: Signed a twenty four year old, broken, struggling millennial who 1355 01:06:55,960 --> 01:07:04,640 Speaker 2: needs some sort of hope. I don't know if I'm 1356 01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:06,280 Speaker 2: the best person to ask about that. Like, if you 1357 01:07:06,280 --> 01:07:08,400 Speaker 2: haven't panic attacks and shit, you probably should talk to 1358 01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:12,959 Speaker 2: like a professional. You know, maybe that might be something 1359 01:07:12,960 --> 01:07:14,959 Speaker 2: that mass can help to, something that therapy can help. 1360 01:07:16,240 --> 01:07:21,240 Speaker 2: As far as hope, man, I'm not big on hope, 1361 01:07:21,320 --> 01:07:23,600 Speaker 2: So I don't know. Like, like it's funny to me 1362 01:07:23,720 --> 01:07:27,520 Speaker 2: because like I think Barack Obama's a great president comparatively 1363 01:07:27,760 --> 01:07:32,280 Speaker 2: obviously to the other president that I've seen and read 1364 01:07:32,280 --> 01:07:36,120 Speaker 2: about I think he was great. But the thing is 1365 01:07:36,840 --> 01:07:38,640 Speaker 2: I didn't vote for him because I hope and changed 1366 01:07:38,680 --> 01:07:40,960 Speaker 2: Like that didn't mean anything to me. This is two words, 1367 01:07:41,040 --> 01:07:43,640 Speaker 2: you know what I mean? Like hope is such an 1368 01:07:43,920 --> 01:07:46,720 Speaker 2: ephemeral term, man, and it means something different to so 1369 01:07:46,720 --> 01:07:47,400 Speaker 2: many people. 1370 01:07:47,560 --> 01:07:47,960 Speaker 4: Correct. 1371 01:07:48,560 --> 01:07:52,320 Speaker 2: The thing that actually gets me through is kind of 1372 01:07:52,400 --> 01:08:01,280 Speaker 2: like knowing that it's not like I feel like I said, 1373 01:08:01,320 --> 01:08:04,400 Speaker 2: like with all energy, and like knowing that my part 1374 01:08:04,480 --> 01:08:07,640 Speaker 2: to play and that once it's over, you dissipate into 1375 01:08:08,040 --> 01:08:10,720 Speaker 2: the world, like and the things that you've done that 1376 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,360 Speaker 2: affected other people, the way people think about you finally 1377 01:08:13,440 --> 01:08:16,479 Speaker 2: or unfindly or whatever. That's the energy and the impression 1378 01:08:16,520 --> 01:08:18,320 Speaker 2: that you leave on the earth when you're gone. So 1379 01:08:18,439 --> 01:08:21,040 Speaker 2: I feel like that's the thing. Like I want my 1380 01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:24,880 Speaker 2: niece to think of me fondly. I would like to 1381 01:08:24,920 --> 01:08:27,240 Speaker 2: be a good influence, a positive influence in her life. 1382 01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:29,679 Speaker 2: I want my brother, my mom, my wife, I want 1383 01:08:30,120 --> 01:08:32,120 Speaker 2: my friends. I want the people to listen to show 1384 01:08:32,320 --> 01:08:37,400 Speaker 2: to know that you know that we cared and that 1385 01:08:37,439 --> 01:08:39,000 Speaker 2: we try to put something into the earth to make 1386 01:08:39,000 --> 01:08:41,120 Speaker 2: people care about each other. All we really have is 1387 01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:45,559 Speaker 2: each other, And I feel like that those connections are 1388 01:08:45,560 --> 01:08:47,880 Speaker 2: the things that make life worth living to me, Like, 1389 01:08:49,320 --> 01:08:50,800 Speaker 2: if you're dealing with stuff where it's like you don't 1390 01:08:50,800 --> 01:08:54,920 Speaker 2: feel like leaving a house, you're having panic attacks, it 1391 01:08:54,960 --> 01:08:56,679 Speaker 2: could be depression, right, that's. 1392 01:08:56,520 --> 01:08:57,400 Speaker 4: What that's sound like. 1393 01:08:57,680 --> 01:09:00,000 Speaker 2: It's something like that. I'm not diagnosing you. I don't know. 1394 01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:02,599 Speaker 2: I'm saying it sounds like something you want to talk 1395 01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:06,120 Speaker 2: to like a professional about, because it could simply be 1396 01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:12,280 Speaker 2: something like that. You're twenty four. You're young. One thing 1397 01:09:12,320 --> 01:09:12,559 Speaker 2: that a. 1398 01:09:12,479 --> 01:09:15,240 Speaker 3: Lot of people don't tell folks about, especially men. 1399 01:09:17,680 --> 01:09:22,280 Speaker 2: We don't talk about the fact that people struggle at 1400 01:09:22,320 --> 01:09:27,160 Speaker 2: those ages. We try to make it seem like like 1401 01:09:27,680 --> 01:09:30,400 Speaker 2: that's that's the funniest time of your life.
