00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,400
Speaker 13: The comedy show I have. I'm doing the New York

236
00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:03,439
Speaker 13: Comedy On this right, it's ninth through eleventh, but bigger

237
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 13: than that. On the tenth, I'm taping my Netflix special

238
00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,439
Speaker 13: produced by Dave Chappelle's I'm I'm excited about that pause.

239
00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:13,280
Speaker 3: I'm coming that pause. I'm coming. I'm coming to the show.

240
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 3: It's gonna be, It's gonna be. I'm excited about it.

241
00:09:16,200 --> 00:09:18,599
Speaker 3: I did it. I spoke spoke about this before in

242
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:19,199
Speaker 3: this platform.

243
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 13: I did it before. For some reason, we just said

244
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 13: we're gonna shelve it, and we're gonna can it. We

245
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 13: want to start all over. When I did the first one,

246
00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:28,800
Speaker 13: Dave said, down there, you're funny, but just being funny

247
00:09:28,840 --> 00:09:30,000
Speaker 13: does not make a great special.

248
00:09:30,120 --> 00:09:32,079
Speaker 3: So this was two years ago, so I had to

249
00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:33,160
Speaker 3: go back to the drawing.

250
00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 13: Board, you know, not reinvent myself to say, Okay, what's

251
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:38,040
Speaker 13: gonna uh make this special special?

252
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:40,440
Speaker 3: So this stuff that I'm talking about is self reflective

253
00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:42,319
Speaker 3: of me. Why why did it take so long for

254
00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:43,760
Speaker 3: you to finally get a special done now?

255
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 13: Because it wasn't the right time as a performer or entertator.

256
00:09:48,360 --> 00:09:50,640
Speaker 13: And this is what people go crazy when you try

257
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:52,599
Speaker 13: to compare yourself to what other people doing. And you

258
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 13: see somebody else getting a certain amount of acknowledgeable whatever,

259
00:09:56,200 --> 00:09:56,840
Speaker 13: do like, why.

260
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 10: Is it not me?

261
00:09:57,760 --> 00:09:59,559
Speaker 3: And years ago I felt that way. I said, it's

262
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:01,160
Speaker 3: not me because it's not the right time.

263
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 13: You know, I'm doing in New York. I'm doing in

264
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,600
Speaker 13: New York, specially in New York. I'm doing my special

265
00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 13: New York at at the hard Rock Hotel. They got

266
00:10:07,880 --> 00:10:10,079
Speaker 13: a beautiful ballroom space. And then we're gonna trick it out.

267
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 13: Shout to Ricky Hughes, shout to Dave Chapelle, shout out

268
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,319
Speaker 13: to stand Latham. But I'll just put it like this,

269
00:10:14,679 --> 00:10:15,640
Speaker 13: it's just the right time.

270
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:18,160
Speaker 5: But you're not like other comedians who go out there

271
00:10:18,160 --> 00:10:20,600
Speaker 5: and have been doing the same material for years, right

272
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 5: the every time I see you, you got different material.

273
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:25,920
Speaker 13: Because for the most part, I'm a road comic, right,

274
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:27,920
Speaker 13: So if you're a roll comic and you're going to

275
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:30,199
Speaker 13: these different places every year, people are gonna be like,

276
00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 13: I'm sick of him doing the same thing.

277
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 3: And I tell you, it's a lot of comics out

278
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:35,480
Speaker 3: here today that they just go for the money grab.

279
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,199
Speaker 3: I've heard, so I won't say any names.

280
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:40,079
Speaker 13: I heard people like, oh man, I seen them I

281
00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,319
Speaker 13: see the same thing, but I always challenged myself to

282
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:48,160
Speaker 13: come up with different material to elevate, and like you said,

283
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:48,440
Speaker 13: a lot of.

284
00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,000
Speaker 3: People that come to my shows, they would agree with it.

285
00:10:50,040 --> 00:10:51,280
Speaker 3: I'm always doing something different.

286
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,040
Speaker 13: That's why what Dave told me he wanted to do

287
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,080
Speaker 13: the special Olds, I could have been like, what are

288
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,000
Speaker 13: you talking about? It was funny, but this is the

289
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 13: same guy that got over like four Grammys and me's

290
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 13: so if I'm going to take advice from anybody, I'm

291
00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:03,600
Speaker 13: gonna take it for him. And his words were, Donelle,

292
00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 13: I can put you in front of room and your rip.

293
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:07,839
Speaker 13: It doesn't make it a great special. But I think

294
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:10,280
Speaker 13: where I'm at now with my stand up, like I say,

295
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 13: it's reflective of me.

296
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:12,120
Speaker 3: It's my life.

297
00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,040
Speaker 13: I'm talking about stuff that people can relate to. Co parenting,

298
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 13: you know what I'm saying. I'm talking about and I

299
00:11:16,920 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 13: know this is your favorite. I'm talking about mental health.

300
00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:20,520
Speaker 13: You know what I'm saying. I'm talking about stuff that

301
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,679
Speaker 13: people can relate to. And I think, just go around,

302
00:11:22,720 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 13: it's gonna pop. You changed a little bit, because at

303
00:11:24,800 --> 00:11:25,520
Speaker 13: one time I'm.

304
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,600
Speaker 3: Supposed to change. We don't change. You should change too.

305
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,520
Speaker 6: If you didn't think Charlemagne was serious when it came

306
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 6: about mental health, but now you believe it because.

307
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 3: He was always serious about it. I was just sick

308
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:35,760
Speaker 3: of it. Oh.

309
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,480
Speaker 13: I was just like because I came up from place

310
00:11:39,559 --> 00:11:42,439
Speaker 13: I did not understand mental health any issues, and it

311
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 13: was a stick man. I gotta say, you have done

312
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:47,520
Speaker 13: a great job of exposing that and let people think

313
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 13: you feel comfortable to really talk about it, because I

314
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,319
Speaker 13: grew up in the era where we didn't understand any

315
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,840
Speaker 13: of that. What we needed to do fix it all?

316
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 13: Just get a shot of Hennessy. You know what I'm saying,

317
00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:59,000
Speaker 13: local joint, You know what I'm saying, blow a load

318
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:00,679
Speaker 13: or whatever. That's how we dealt with it.

319
00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 2: So I do.

320
00:12:02,400 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 13: I do agree with you, but now I think people

321
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,559
Speaker 13: being abusive with it. Now you can have a conversation

322
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:12,599
Speaker 13: without without it triggering some type of mental thing. You

323
00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,320
Speaker 13: gaslighting me, U respect my boundaries. My baby mother hit

324
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:18,960
Speaker 13: me with a new joint the other jet. You would

325
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,679
Speaker 13: notice triangulation, triangulation, it's a it's another mental health where

326
00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:24,439
Speaker 13: this mental health where she hit on me was so

327
00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:25,960
Speaker 13: she hit me with was so good?

328
00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 3: What was the context? An argument?

329
00:12:28,760 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 13: Okay, something She was like, oh, that's true. I don't

330
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 13: know what it is, but it was so good. Three

331
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,319
Speaker 13: days later I called her and said, what was that

332
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,439
Speaker 13: mental health? New mental health word you gave me? So

333
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,839
Speaker 13: I do understand that, but I think people lean on

334
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:42,760
Speaker 13: it and just make excuses for stuff, and I think that,

335
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 13: you know, sometimes people got.

336
00:12:44,559 --> 00:12:45,520
Speaker 3: Got tough a little bit.

337
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,559
Speaker 5: Triangulation is when a toxic or manipulative person, often a

338
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:53,480
Speaker 5: person with strong and assistic brings a third person into

339
00:12:53,520 --> 00:12:55,800
Speaker 5: their relationship in control.

340
00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:56,439
Speaker 3: Right.

341
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 5: That sounds limited and no communication between the two trying

342
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,680
Speaker 5: me was except through the manipulator.

343
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 3: Oh we talk about words?

Speaker 6: Breakfast Club was still kicking it with down now with Rolin.

378
00:14:06,400 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 3: Because even with that clip you seen me, I did

379
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:10,040
Speaker 3: not know that was announcing you're special. I didn't know

380
00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 3: it said.

381
00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 1: Clip.

382
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,120
Speaker 3: I did watch the clip, but you know why, because

383
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:16,920
Speaker 3: your brain wanted to hear something else. Because I read

384
00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 3: the headlines, I'm expecting to hear something else. But I'm like, clickbait.

385
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 3: I've seen this before. I feel like I've seen I've

386
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,280
Speaker 3: seen done. I've seen him do this in person. Yeah,

387
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 3: I mean you got rich, bitch, no, but that was

388
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 3: the whole clip. Get him in there. But you know,

389
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 3: we'll see.

390
00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:32,160
Speaker 13: But I'm I'm telling you when I say I'm excited

391
00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:35,960
Speaker 13: about taping this special a career comedian, most communities like this,

392
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 13: I want a special. And years ago I was felt

393
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 13: stronger about me wanting a special. But when that didn't happen,

394
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:47,280
Speaker 13: and I kept grinding and I kept building my fan base.

395
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:51,320
Speaker 13: Everything now it's like my fans wanted to happen.

396
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,120
Speaker 3: We people will do specials to have this type of

397
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:53,800
Speaker 3: career you've had.

398
00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:55,840
Speaker 13: Yeah, and you know, it's so funny you say that

399
00:14:55,920 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 13: because I said, and not being I said, I don't

400
00:14:58,040 --> 00:14:59,960
Speaker 13: need a special. You know, like the last couple of

401
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,320
Speaker 13: years is probably the most money I've been making in

402
00:15:02,400 --> 00:15:05,720
Speaker 13: my career. I'm showing difference in my tenants or whatever.

403
00:15:06,160 --> 00:15:08,080
Speaker 13: And the thing that I like, what I'm building now

404
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 13: is that with that, you can never cancel me.

405
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.

406
00:15:11,800 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 13: If I don't work for a network, if I'm not

407
00:15:14,080 --> 00:15:17,400
Speaker 13: bonded to one thing, you can't cancel me. Because I

408
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:19,800
Speaker 13: got people that I've been building these relationships with for

409
00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:22,120
Speaker 13: thirty years that are going to continue to come out

410
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,520
Speaker 13: and right now with the fact of me taping one

411
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 13: before me going again. Right now, I'm not excited about

412
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 13: this because anything could happen, Anything could happen between now

413
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 13: and me taping it. Then what do I have to

414
00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,360
Speaker 13: fall back on the fact that after thirty two years

415
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,360
Speaker 13: of doing comedy, I could put my name on a

416
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 13: marquee and people still come out and check for me.

417
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:46,440
Speaker 3: And I'll tell you one thing.

418
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 13: When it comes to see me, everybody says, I think

419
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,400
Speaker 13: he's one of the funniest comments to do it.

420
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 3: I tell you that all the time. But you just started.

421
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,120
Speaker 1: It just started.

422
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 13: You just started, you know, you just started. When I

423
00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 13: first came up here, you tried to compare everybody to me,

424
00:15:59,280 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 13: and I was.

425
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:03,840
Speaker 5: Like this, I said, Donelle is one of the funniest

426
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 5: stand ups on the planet, I said verb batim. I

427
00:16:07,040 --> 00:16:10,440
Speaker 5: saw Donelle on stage with Daja Pelle, Marlon Wayiams. Who

428
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:13,600
Speaker 5: else came out that night? I remember said it entertainer.

429
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 5: Maybe maybe this was a couple of years ago when

430
00:16:15,640 --> 00:16:17,600
Speaker 5: y'all did Radio City, and I said, Donnelle was the

431
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,400
Speaker 5: funniest person on that stage that night.

432
00:16:19,560 --> 00:16:23,480
Speaker 13: And it's not because I am the funniest, It's just

433
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,800
Speaker 13: that I just when I go up there, I just

434
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:29,480
Speaker 13: have a different energy after I've never phoned it in

435
00:16:30,040 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 13: anytime I'm go on stage, and we're talking about hundreds

436
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 13: of thousands of shows.

437
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,480
Speaker 3: Every time I go on stage, I'm going up there

438
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 3: to kill it.

439
00:16:37,720 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 13: And it's not too many people that can say I've

440
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 13: had nights where it wasn't as good as other nights.

441
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 13: But I mean, in regard to consistency, I think I'm

442
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 13: one of I don't think I know I'm one of

443
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:52,920
Speaker 13: the most consistent. We just did a show in Atlanta.

444
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,480
Speaker 13: It was one of the day's arena shows. It was Me,

445
00:16:56,920 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 13: Marshall Brandon, Kevin Hart, and Dave Right and I went

446
00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 13: up on stage and I just it was just like

447
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:06,520
Speaker 13: bombs right. And then when I get on stage and

448
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:11,480
Speaker 13: you're looking at it like a Dave multimillionaire, Kevin the multimillionaire,

449
00:17:11,720 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 13: you know.

450
00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:14,240
Speaker 3: But the praises they gave me and in.

451
00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 13: Respect they gave me after that, you know, I'm like this,

452
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 13: You know what, Donille, You're doing something right. It's one

453
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:22,040
Speaker 13: thing to be accepted by your fans, but it's another

454
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,120
Speaker 13: thing to be accepted by your peers, especially the ones

455
00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 13: that it's super successful because it is easy for somebody

456
00:17:27,760 --> 00:17:29,720
Speaker 13: that's up here to look down at you and try

457
00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 13: to compare how much money they make it to you.

458
00:17:31,600 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 13: But me and Kevin we talked. He looked at my face,

459
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,639
Speaker 13: he said, donielle Man, I'm so proud of you. I've

460
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:38,680
Speaker 13: been following your journey live the brotherhood that you and

461
00:17:38,880 --> 00:17:39,200
Speaker 13: Dave have.

462
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,359
Speaker 3: It was a very humbling.

463
00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 13: Experience because I remember me personally paying Kevin Hart seventy

464
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 13: five dollars to do a show, fifty dollars to do

465
00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 13: a show when he came from Philly, and when he

466
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,320
Speaker 13: was doing what a lot of black comments don't do.

467
00:17:52,440 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 13: He was playing both sides, not just a black circuit,

468
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 13: but he was playing the main street circuit. And I've

469
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 13: seen the work he put in, and he could easily

470
00:17:59,760 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 13: be like whatever down there. But it felt like back

471
00:18:02,280 --> 00:18:03,680
Speaker 13: in the day a sitting in the green room and

472
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:04,679
Speaker 13: having those conversations.

473
00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 3: Treat you, treat all stages like they're your own.

474
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,080
Speaker 13: After thirty two years, I still love doing it, not

475
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:17,000
Speaker 13: just to make the money, but I love challenging myself.

476
00:18:17,400 --> 00:18:20,879
Speaker 13: I love finding that new joke that and I'm telling you,

477
00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,720
Speaker 13: if all goes well with this special, the materiity that

478
00:18:23,760 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 13: I'm doing and what I'm about to do, I'm about

479
00:18:26,240 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 13: to pop it because I really believe that comedy is

480
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,960
Speaker 13: about to make a flip. Last four or five years,

481
00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,520
Speaker 13: everybody's I can't say this, They're gonna counsel me.

482
00:18:34,600 --> 00:18:36,000
Speaker 3: I can't say this. Now.

483
00:18:36,080 --> 00:18:38,119
Speaker 13: You're starting to get watered down comics and people are

484
00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:40,399
Speaker 13: editing themselves before they even go up there. But I

485
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:42,840
Speaker 13: think with everything, there's a shift, and I think people

486
00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,040
Speaker 13: are fed up with it. There's a lot of people

487
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 13: that are like, they don't subscribe to counsel culture, and

488
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,480
Speaker 13: I think it's gonna go back to, you know what,

489
00:18:49,840 --> 00:18:53,040
Speaker 13: raw comedy. And I'm not saying like off color comedy,

490
00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:55,920
Speaker 13: just somebody speaking from their heart and what they feel.

491
00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:57,560
Speaker 3: I don't think that. I don't think y'all have ever

492
00:18:57,600 --> 00:18:59,159
Speaker 3: stopped doing that, though we think that.

493
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,359
Speaker 5: I think the problem with the game now is everybody's

494
00:19:01,359 --> 00:19:03,679
Speaker 5: trying to be edgy on purpose, and it's fake right

495
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:07,000
Speaker 5: because everybody's like, shock, I'm gonna be real, I'm gonna

496
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:09,040
Speaker 5: be the shocking president. It's not coming from a real place.

497
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 5: Back in the day, even when we were doing it,

498
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:12,640
Speaker 5: it was shocked but we were just having a good

499
00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 5: time to day.

500
00:19:13,800 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 3: What it is is stop using gimmicks. Just be funny.

501
00:19:17,960 --> 00:19:19,879
Speaker 13: When I first started, it was a thing like you

502
00:19:20,040 --> 00:19:22,640
Speaker 13: we knew it was gay comedians out there, but nobody

503
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:25,240
Speaker 13: wanted to say it. They wouldn't say that. It was like,

504
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 13: all the crowd is gonna look at me a certain way.

505
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,720
Speaker 13: And then so when you had a comedian that went

506
00:19:29,800 --> 00:19:31,120
Speaker 13: up there and said I'm gay, it was like, oh,

507
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:35,160
Speaker 13: but now some of the comics from certain communities, that's

508
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:36,200
Speaker 13: all they want to talk about.

509
00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:38,320
Speaker 3: That's all they want to talk about. Don't talk about that.

510
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 3: Just be funny, you know what I'm saying.

511
00:19:40,200 --> 00:19:43,040
Speaker 13: I like, like, like you gotta like commute, be funny,

512
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 13: be funny, be funny, and just and stick to stuff

513
00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:49,520
Speaker 13: it's true to you. But you know, somebody told me

514
00:19:49,520 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 13: a long time ago, and I was like, why these

515
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,639
Speaker 13: people don't do this, why these people don't do that?

516
00:19:53,040 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 13: And Big Tigger told me this. He said, Donelle, everything

517
00:19:56,040 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 13: you said, he said, that's what makes you special, you know.

518
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,880
Speaker 13: And and that's what I want to make special about

519
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 13: this special because there's a lot of people that get

520
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:06,320
Speaker 13: in specials and I can watch them and not to

521
00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,760
Speaker 13: be critical to people and I could I watch them

522
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,520
Speaker 13: like this. Oh, they just wanted to do an hour

523
00:20:10,600 --> 00:20:13,159
Speaker 13: worth material. They didn't have the beginning, middle end. They

524
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 13: just want to do that. They didn't wanted to clear

525
00:20:14,720 --> 00:20:18,199
Speaker 13: a check. And to be quite honest, there's not too

526
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:20,879
Speaker 13: many things that are special about a special but I

527
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:23,720
Speaker 13: want this one to be one with people quoting it,

528
00:20:24,160 --> 00:20:25,920
Speaker 13: you know what I mean, saying stuff back in the

529
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 13: old day when Gooney Google, you know that, that type

530
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:29,000
Speaker 13: of thing.

531
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:29,440
Speaker 10: You know.

532
00:20:29,600 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 3: So I'm excited about it. So what do we gotta

533
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:32,720

558
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,880
Speaker 6: Club now if you're just joining us. We were talking

559
00:21:45,880 --> 00:21:48,560
Speaker 6: about something in Front Page News earlier today. It was

560
00:21:48,600 --> 00:21:52,399
Speaker 6: the fact that Florida Border Education approves new Black history

561
00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:55,720
Speaker 6: standards that teach house slaves develop skills for their personal benefit.

562
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,959
Speaker 6: So we were talking about, since they're pulling pretty much

563
00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 6: black history out of schools now and pulling out the

564
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 6: books and don't want to teach black history, what do

565
00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:05,400
Speaker 6: we need to do as a community to make sure

566
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 6: that our young kids actually know what went on in

567
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 6: black history and the future generation, and how do we

568
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:11,479
Speaker 6: educate them.

569
00:22:11,520 --> 00:22:13,440
Speaker 1: That was the question that we were having this morning.

570
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 5: Well, you know, like I said earlier, you know, you

571
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 5: can't depend on white institutions to teach teach all kids.

572
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 5: You know, that is something the Nation of Islam and

573
00:22:20,119 --> 00:22:22,359
Speaker 5: other great black leaders have been telling us since the

574
00:22:22,400 --> 00:22:25,359
Speaker 5: beginning of time. For me, I feel like we just

575
00:22:25,400 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 5: got to encourage our kids to read. You know, we

576
00:22:27,440 --> 00:22:29,280
Speaker 5: have to recommend books for them to read. I was

577
00:22:29,320 --> 00:22:31,160
Speaker 5: blessed to have a mother who was a Jehovah's Witness

578
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,560
Speaker 5: and an English teacher, so you know, she kept the

579
00:22:33,600 --> 00:22:35,639
Speaker 5: Bible in my face and watched Howers and Awake. So

580
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 5: that was the first little child was exposed to. Then

581
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 5: we had the book at program when I was a

582
00:22:39,160 --> 00:22:41,680
Speaker 5: kid in elementary school and I was reading four books

583
00:22:41,720 --> 00:22:43,520
Speaker 5: to get a free pizza, and my mom told me

584
00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 5: read things that don't pertain to you. That's when I

585
00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 5: started reading Judie Bloom and Beverly Clearly and all that stuff.

586
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:49,560
Speaker 5: And then my pops, you know, he gave me books

587
00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:51,600
Speaker 5: like The Autobiography of Malcolm X, which let me down

588
00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,840
Speaker 5: a rabbit hole of wanting to know everything I could

589
00:22:53,880 --> 00:22:56,960
Speaker 5: about the NI but also any book that I saw

590
00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 5: Malcolm X reference, I read it, you know, And I've

591
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,119
Speaker 5: always done that. If I read a book and then

592
00:23:02,160 --> 00:23:04,680
Speaker 5: they reference another book in that book, then I'll go

593
00:23:04,840 --> 00:23:06,320
Speaker 5: read you know, that book.

594
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 3: That's why I thought, you.

595
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 5: Know, when somebody like Nipsey Hustle was alive, you know,

596
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:12,359
Speaker 5: he was so brilliant because Nipsey would always reference different

597
00:23:12,440 --> 00:23:15,840
Speaker 5: books in his interviews. Nipsey Hustle even had a booklest

598
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:17,960
Speaker 5: that he put out, you know, And I think that's

599
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 5: that's what you have to do. You just got to encourage,

600
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 5: you know, our kids to read and recommend them things

601
00:23:22,040 --> 00:23:22,320
Speaker 5: to read.

602
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:24,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you.

603
00:23:24,359 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 6: I said earlier that I think we need to develop

604
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,560
Speaker 6: more programs like even in the church, right, a lot

605
00:23:28,560 --> 00:23:31,280
Speaker 6: of black families go to church together and have those

606
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 6: days where we teach about our black history and black heroes.

607
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 6: But also I think as parents, I think parents need

608
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,159
Speaker 6: to knowledge themselves, you know, because it's very difficult to

609
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,399
Speaker 6: teach your child if you don't have the proper history.

610
00:23:45,960 --> 00:23:49,119
Speaker 1: It's like anything else. Like you know, my father's a

611
00:23:49,240 --> 00:23:50,240
Speaker 1: retired police officer.

612
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,399
Speaker 6: He was able to teach me laws when I was

613
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 6: a kid, and teach me about just things as far

614
00:23:54,880 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 6: as you know what to do if I get pulled

615
00:23:56,760 --> 00:23:59,960
Speaker 6: over what laws mean and how did judicial system work?

616
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:02,720
Speaker 6: Because he was part of it. But like you said,

617
00:24:02,760 --> 00:24:04,640
Speaker 6: I think we have to educate ourselves so we could

618
00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 6: actually educate our children, because there's a lot with Black

619
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:10,760
Speaker 6: history that I'm still learning now because I honestly wasn't

620
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:11,640
Speaker 6: taught as a child.

621
00:24:11,760 --> 00:24:14,760
Speaker 5: I envy people who've gone to African American studies, you know,

622
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 5: I mean I love the way, you know, somebody like

623
00:24:17,080 --> 00:24:19,840
Speaker 5: an Amanda Seals can just reference history so quickly, somebody

624
00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:21,720
Speaker 5: like a Michael Eric Dyson, and you know, we know,

625
00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 5: we know the literacy ration black and brown communities are high.

626
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:26,320
Speaker 3: That's a whole other conversation.

627
00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,600
Speaker 5: That's that's actually why Kevin Hart and I started our

628
00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,120
Speaker 5: company with Audible SBAH Production, because you know, I think

629
00:24:33,160 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 5: that sometimes it's not that kids aren't reading, there's just

630
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:38,639
Speaker 5: other ways for them to get that information. So instead

631
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,920
Speaker 5: of reading, now they people are listening, you know. So

632
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:43,480
Speaker 5: it's like I always had the idea, even though we

633
00:24:43,520 --> 00:24:45,359
Speaker 5: did put out you know, Finding Tamika and some of

634
00:24:45,600 --> 00:24:47,280
Speaker 5: some of the eighty five. Some of eighty five is

635
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,919
Speaker 5: about you know what happened the Move organization in Philadelphia.

636
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 5: But I always taught that kids. Always thought that kids

637
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:58,320
Speaker 5: could take in this information by listening. I lost my

638
00:24:58,400 --> 00:25:00,560
Speaker 5: train of thought just now, the hell, I lost my

639
00:25:00,600 --> 00:25:01,000
Speaker 5: train to thought.

640
00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,280
Speaker 3: Like oh, I would say, I think. I think that

641
00:25:03,400 --> 00:25:03,880
Speaker 3: kids can.

642
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:06,919
Speaker 5: Learn, uh, you know, more more by listening now than

643
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,840
Speaker 5: actually picking up books and reading. Yeah, And I wanted celebrity,

644
00:25:10,840 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 5: That's what I'm gonna say. I wanted celebrities to do

645
00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,000
Speaker 5: the audio books, right. That was that was an idea

646
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 5: we had when we launched this company. Have celebrities reading audiobooks, right,

647
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:22,000
Speaker 5: And you know, Audible kind of took the idea and

648
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:23,480
Speaker 5: they had Lawrence Fishburne read The Aughter Biker for you

649
00:25:23,520 --> 00:25:23,960
Speaker 5: and Malcolm X.

650
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:25,920
Speaker 3: But that's fine as long as it happens, you know.

651
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:27,840
Speaker 1: But but you know what too, And I would also

652
00:25:27,880 --> 00:25:29,040
Speaker 1: say this for a lot of parents.

653
00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 6: A lot of times we take our kids to you know,

654
00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:35,119
Speaker 6: on vacation, and vacation can mean many different things from

655
00:25:35,119 --> 00:25:37,199
Speaker 6: many different people. It can mean taking them to Six Flags,

656
00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 6: it can mean taking them to Miami for Disney World

657
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:42,560
Speaker 6: or whatever. And I think sometimes and that's fine, but

658
00:25:42,640 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 6: we we're gonna have to think of alternative things to do,

659
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 6: like going to experiences, right, but like going to museums

660
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:50,480
Speaker 6: like the museum that just open up in South Carolina

661
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,120
Speaker 6: National America when that's opened up in DC, and even

662
00:25:53,200 --> 00:25:55,120
Speaker 6: when in South Carolina, I want to go to because

663
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,960
Speaker 6: there's so much history, right you learn that's where you

664
00:25:57,040 --> 00:25:59,200
Speaker 6: know a lot of that's where the first ships came.

665
00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: That a lot of us, you know, touch down on

666
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:03,639
Speaker 1: this land. So I would learn. I would love to

667
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 1: learn that history.

668
00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:07,080
Speaker 6: I've been fortunate enough to go to Africa and fortunate

669
00:26:07,160 --> 00:26:09,080
Speaker 6: enough to go to South Africa and see these different

670
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:13,280
Speaker 6: places that you know, from where from where Bob Marley

671
00:26:13,440 --> 00:26:16,480
Speaker 6: was in Jamaica to where trying to think of some

672
00:26:16,560 --> 00:26:18,080
Speaker 6: of the houses that we went to over there so

673
00:26:18,160 --> 00:26:18,879
Speaker 6: many different houses.

674
00:26:19,160 --> 00:26:21,960
Speaker 5: Even with that, and you're absolutely right what you're saying,

675
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,760
Speaker 5: but just speaking from a person who has the financial means.

676
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,600
Speaker 6: Right, But that's what I'm saying, like instead of maybe

677
00:26:26,680 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 6: going to six Flags, going to the museum, and sometimes

678
00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,959
Speaker 6: there's museum that prices are not that expensive. They're ten

679
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,520
Speaker 6: dollars for ticket, and I'm sure a lot of times

680
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 6: they do it for free. Just to teach our own

681
00:26:34,359 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 6: but just experiences like that that we can actually see,

682
00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,280
Speaker 6: touch and get there the proper knowledge.

683
00:26:39,280 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 3: How about your how about do something as simple as

684
00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:43,200
Speaker 3: go get a library card. That's true, you know what

685
00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:43,680
Speaker 3: I'm saying.

686
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:46,040
Speaker 5: Go get a library called and then go, you know,

687
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:48,719
Speaker 5: look up some books to go get. I always tell

688
00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 5: people all the time. Start with the autobiography of Malcolm X.

689
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:52,760
Speaker 5: There's a great book that I read when I was young,

690
00:26:53,040 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 5: called from n Words to Gods by a Kill And

691
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 5: the way that he wrote the book, he wrote the

692
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,400
Speaker 5: book the way we actually talk, you know what I mean.

693
00:26:59,720 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 5: So it was like he's cursing in it and he's

694
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,240
Speaker 5: using screet binocuas right, but he's educating at the same time,

695
00:27:05,320 --> 00:27:06,639
Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like everything don't have to

696
00:27:06,720 --> 00:27:09,399
Speaker 5: be eighteen letter Shakespearean.

697
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:10,080
Speaker 3: Words right for you to learn.

698
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: I think I was able to go to Nelson Mandela's house.

699
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 3: I was.

700
00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,240
Speaker 6: I was able to go to where Nelson Mandella grew up.

701
00:27:14,280 --> 00:27:15,600
Speaker 6: So I was able to see it. But I had

702
00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:17,240
Speaker 6: the means to do it. But before I had the means,

703
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 6: my mom had me and those museums. But let's go

704
00:27:19,480 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 6: to the phone lines. We got Jamisha on the line Jamisha,

705
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:22,840
Speaker 6: good morning.

706
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:24,920
Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, Jamisha.

707
00:27:25,240 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 11: Hey my god, I want a first day that I

708
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 11: love you guys, and I listened to you guys every morning.

709
00:27:31,840 --> 00:27:33,720
Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Jamisha. We appreciate it.

710
00:27:33,960 --> 00:27:36,800
Speaker 11: Yeah, So I just wanted to time in and just

711
00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:40,359
Speaker 11: give my advice. I'm a thirty seven just to give

712
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,960
Speaker 11: you guys the idea of where I'm coming from. I'm

713
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 11: a mom of a threeting boy, and I tried to

714
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 11: just share stories with him because the literature out there

715
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:52,600
Speaker 11: is not very fun for the kids to read or

716
00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:53,280
Speaker 11: inter see.

717
00:27:53,840 --> 00:27:55,800
Speaker 7: So I feel like it starts at home.

718
00:27:56,160 --> 00:27:56,600
Speaker 10: We as the.

719
00:27:56,680 --> 00:27:59,280
Speaker 11: Parents have to be encouraged to learn it so that

720
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:02,680
Speaker 11: we could and that we verbally share those stories with

721
00:28:02,840 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 11: our kids so that hopefully when they get older, they'll

722
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:09,080
Speaker 11: read those stories or watch those movies that we watched

723
00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:11,440
Speaker 11: when we got older, or sometimes when we were getting

724
00:28:11,480 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 11: younger and we didn't understand what was going on.

725
00:28:14,359 --> 00:28:15,080
Speaker 3: Totally agree.

726
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,480
Speaker 11: Oh, I agree that I just feel like it starts there.

727
00:28:19,080 --> 00:28:22,159
Speaker 3: Totally agree. All right, thank you, I totally agree.

728
00:28:22,359 --> 00:28:25,040
Speaker 1: Starting the out, we have Diane on the line. Diane,

736
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 17: the God. But what happened is because of the climate.

737
00:28:49,120 --> 00:28:53,200
Speaker 17: I'm retired on I would faced with the opportunity to

738
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:55,960
Speaker 17: come to school my eleven or two year old brand

739
00:28:57,000 --> 00:28:59,160
Speaker 17: I've been doing this for a couple of years when

740
00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:01,200
Speaker 17: we're registered through the Border Edge.

741
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:04,160
Speaker 8: In North Carolina. I'm from New York, but my family

742
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:07,080
Speaker 8: is from South Carolina. I put it upon myself to

743
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 8: incorporate black history as a subject, and I seached them

744
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 8: and we've been We're in all the books fifteen nineteen.

745
00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,800
Speaker 8: Black history is our social studies books.

746
00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 10: We do that.

747
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:23,960
Speaker 8: We talk about history. We have there's a link black

748
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:28,840
Speaker 8: fact dot com website which gives you so much pertinent

749
00:29:28,920 --> 00:29:32,600
Speaker 8: information black history. We talk about that. We're in the Quran,

750
00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:38,280
Speaker 8: We're in the Bible, your book shook one. We're just

751
00:29:38,400 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 8: all over the place. But I make sure that they

752
00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 8: know the sound gasm. I also because I've gone through

753
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 8: something some years ago. I spend out inspirations every morning

754
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:51,560
Speaker 8: sixt o'clock in the morning. Used to be one or

755
00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 8: two people, is now one hundred and fifty people. And

756
00:29:54,640 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 8: I do it one by one because I don't do

757
00:29:57,800 --> 00:29:59,760
Speaker 8: But what I do is I am like Loom. I'm

758
00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:04,600
Speaker 8: Black history. We're not go for February, but for every month.

759
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:08,120
Speaker 8: And we talk about things, not because the normal things

760
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,600
Speaker 8: people would talk about Martin Luther King, not that we

761
00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 8: don't talk about them, but we've gone into everything. We

762
00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 8: talk about the Maccade, we talk about the history.

763
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:17,680
Speaker 10: So I do that.

764
00:30:17,920 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 8: Growing up in New York's history was something that Black

765
00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:22,760
Speaker 8: history we were a part of. There was a lot

766
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:25,480
Speaker 8: of doings that there was a foundation of history, and

767
00:30:25,560 --> 00:30:27,280
Speaker 8: we were kind of taught that in the school a

768
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 8: little bit, but the rest really missed. We grew up

769
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 8: in that era. It's different now. And it's true a

770
00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:38,520
Speaker 8: lot of Black families don't in history. A lot of

771
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,280
Speaker 8: them don't have mind to teach their children. A lot

772
00:30:41,320 --> 00:30:43,320
Speaker 8: of them do depend on the schools, but you have

773
00:30:43,400 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 8: to be minding of what's going on in the school.

774
00:30:46,040 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 8: They were in the schools during the pandemic, how they

775
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:52,520
Speaker 8: were handling that and they're not being taught. But they

776
00:30:52,600 --> 00:30:54,800
Speaker 8: can't blame the townies because a lot of them don't

777
00:30:54,840 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 8: know themselves.

778
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:57,960
Speaker 3: You're right, queen, Thank you very much.

Speaker 1: A great weekend, mama. What's the more of the story

790
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:20,560
Speaker 1: and all of the stories?

791
00:31:20,600 --> 00:31:23,320
Speaker 5: What I said earlier, you can't rely on white institutions, uh,

792
00:31:23,440 --> 00:31:25,240
Speaker 5: you know to teach your kids black history, you know

793
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,440
Speaker 5: what I mean, Like you do have to do a

794
00:31:27,480 --> 00:31:28,960
Speaker 5: lot of self education at home.

795
00:31:29,040 --> 00:31:29,160
Speaker 8: Man.

796
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:31,840
Speaker 5: And I also want to say, please, let's stop repeating

797
00:31:31,880 --> 00:31:34,640
Speaker 5: white propaganda talking points in regards to black people. If

798
00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:38,000
Speaker 5: we start having conversations about black people self educating and

799
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,960
Speaker 5: encouraging each other to read, please, folks, let's not start

800
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,480
Speaker 5: saying black people can't read and black parents don't teach

801
00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 5: their kids to read. That's not that's nonsense, and that's

802
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:47,480
Speaker 5: not all the way acurate. You know what I'm saying.

803
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,480
Speaker 5: All these people who called up here, you know, telling

804
00:31:49,560 --> 00:31:51,719
Speaker 5: us how they teach their kids at home. The grandma

805
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,320
Speaker 5: who says she homeschooled her kids talked in black history.

806
00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 5: Y'all give me a lot of hope. There's nothing dumb

807
00:31:56,720 --> 00:31:59,440
Speaker 5: about us, there's nothing uneducated about us. Don't listen to

808
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 5: these white props began to talking points about us and

809
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:05,479
Speaker 5: in regard to to literacy, and please don't repeat them.

810
00:32:06,040 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: Man, all right, gets the Breakfast Club the morning, the

811
00:32:09,560 --> 00:32:12,800

Speaker 3: There you go.

822
00:32:28,160 --> 00:32:28,520
Speaker 16: That's right.

823
00:32:28,600 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 5: I feel like I've been hearing about the United Negro

824
00:32:30,560 --> 00:32:33,360
Speaker 5: College Fund my whole life, but not that much in

825
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:34,440
Speaker 5: recent times.

826
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:37,000
Speaker 3: So really, yeah, so what does the United year College

827
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:37,920
Speaker 3: Fund do? Listen?

828
00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 12: We've been around going on eighty years, so that's why

829
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:43,920
Speaker 12: you've been hearing about it since you were little. But

830
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:49,320
Speaker 12: you know, we provide educational support for minority students. So

831
00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:52,880
Speaker 12: with the empower Me Tour, it's a traveling road show

832
00:32:53,360 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 12: where we talk about college readiness, we talk about career readiness,

833
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 12: and we give millions of dollars in scholarships for people

834
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 12: to attend school, not just graduating high school seniors, but

835
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:08,760
Speaker 12: also people in college can still get scholarships through the UNCF.

836
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 5: I always want to, you know, like, do people are

837
00:33:10,960 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 5: people as aware of resources like this as they need

838
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:13,960
Speaker 5: to be?

839
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:14,600
Speaker 3: You know what?

840
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:17,120
Speaker 12: I feel like we can always do a better job

841
00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:21,040
Speaker 12: of making sure people know that resources are there. Un

842
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:24,840
Speaker 12: CF is not just to get students to college. It's

843
00:33:25,000 --> 00:33:28,880
Speaker 12: our responsibility to get students through college also. So with

844
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:32,640
Speaker 12: the resources are coming in all the time to UNCF.

845
00:33:32,760 --> 00:33:36,840
Speaker 12: So I tell students and parents to visit UNCF dot

846
00:33:37,000 --> 00:33:40,400
Speaker 12: org every other week because we have scholarships that pop

847
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,960
Speaker 12: up all throughout the month, all throughout the year, and

848
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 12: to just know what is actually out there for students.

849
00:33:47,120 --> 00:33:50,680
Speaker 16: To attend college for free. I mean, education is expensive, sure.

850
00:33:50,640 --> 00:33:52,600
Speaker 1: What are some of the qualifications to get some of

851
00:33:52,680 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: these students in college.

852
00:33:53,720 --> 00:33:56,000
Speaker 12: You know what, It honestly depends on the type of

853
00:33:56,080 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 12: scholarship there is. You know, some have three point zero

854
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,840
Speaker 12: GPA qualifications, some might even have two point seven or

855
00:34:02,880 --> 00:34:05,360
Speaker 12: your three point five and above. Some of them you

856
00:34:05,560 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 12: have to write an essay. It really all depends on

857
00:34:08,960 --> 00:34:11,640
Speaker 12: the type of scholarship that you're applying for. Like with

858
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:14,160
Speaker 12: the empower Me Tour, we have counselors that come on

859
00:34:14,440 --> 00:34:18,080
Speaker 12: site and give on site admissions to students on the spot.

860
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:23,240
Speaker 16: Not just that, we have college admissions counselors offering.

861
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 12: Full for your scholarships to students who didn't even know

862
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 12: that they could attend college or could attend an HBCU.

863
00:34:30,520 --> 00:34:32,360
Speaker 12: We really try to do the empower Me Tour in

864
00:34:32,400 --> 00:34:36,160
Speaker 12: places where there aren't HBCUs so we can educate people

865
00:34:36,520 --> 00:34:39,280
Speaker 12: that HBCUs exist and scholarships are available.

866
00:34:39,400 --> 00:34:41,200
Speaker 1: So this is only for HBCUs. You only give in

867
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: college h Now we give.

868
00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,080
Speaker 16: Scholarship money to not just HBCUs.

869
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 12: People can get a UNC of scholarship and attend any

870
00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 12: school of their choice. We just want to make sure

871
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,560
Speaker 12: people know in places, in spaces that HBCUs exists.

872
00:34:56,960 --> 00:34:58,600
Speaker 1: What was so important for you to go to a

873
00:34:58,719 --> 00:35:00,680
Speaker 1: hbc of course you with the Claw Atlanta.

874
00:35:01,080 --> 00:35:02,800
Speaker 16: Well, of course I went to Clark Atlanta.

875
00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:03,480
Speaker 1: Where are you from?

876
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:04,280
Speaker 3: You got to stop blushing.

877
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:08,319
Speaker 6: I'm originally from Mississippi, Mississippi, so every time you hear Clarkey.

878
00:35:08,040 --> 00:35:11,520
Speaker 16: Blush, listen, that's where my husband came from. So maybe

879
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 16: that's you know, at Clark Atlanta.

880
00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 1: DJ Drama went to clock Atlanta too, Okay.

881
00:35:16,360 --> 00:35:18,440
Speaker 12: Yes, DJ Drama went to Clark Atland. We were there

882
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 12: around the same time. My parents went to Clark College.

883
00:35:21,560 --> 00:35:23,680
Speaker 16: My brother went to Howard, my other brother went to Morehouse.

884
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:26,040
Speaker 16: Like we are an HBCU family.

885
00:35:26,239 --> 00:35:30,480
Speaker 12: Like my business partners you know, went to Hampton one

886
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:32,600
Speaker 12: okay and the other one went to Clark Atlanta. So

887
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:37,759
Speaker 12: it just fostered relationships HBCUs and just homecoming. There's no

888
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,480
Speaker 12: homecoming like in HBCU facts. Okay, So that's why I

889
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:42,840
Speaker 12: love it.

890
00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,120
Speaker 1: So what made you want to go? Was it instilled

891
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:46,840
Speaker 1: with your family or is it it wasn't still with

892
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: my family?

893
00:35:47,640 --> 00:35:51,000
Speaker 12: It was you know again, I've been attending homecoming at

894
00:35:51,040 --> 00:35:53,239
Speaker 12: Clark Atlanta since I was two years old, you know,

895
00:35:53,400 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 12: because both my parents went there, and just watching the

896
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,000
Speaker 12: relationships that my parents had with other people from Clark

897
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:03,400
Speaker 12: and Land University, and like those are my aunts and

898
00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:05,040
Speaker 12: uncle's extended family.

899
00:36:05,400 --> 00:36:06,560
Speaker 16: I just fell in love with it.

900
00:36:06,840 --> 00:36:09,360
Speaker 5: People don't talk about that aspect enough of the networking

901
00:36:09,520 --> 00:36:13,480
Speaker 5: that happens at these hbcs. What did you or who

902
00:36:13,560 --> 00:36:15,200
Speaker 5: did you meet that led you to end up being

903
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,000
Speaker 5: the director of the United Negro College One.

904
00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:19,480
Speaker 12: I mean, first of all, my father received a un

905
00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:24,960
Speaker 12: CF scholarship, So watching him talk about receiving a UNCF scholarship,

906
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:29,080
Speaker 12: and watching him work at General Motors and then turn

907
00:36:29,160 --> 00:36:33,000
Speaker 12: around and give back for other black and brown people

908
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:36,799
Speaker 12: and people at Clark Atlanta, Spellman and Moorhouse to be engineers,

909
00:36:36,840 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 12: and just watching that. Foster always had a good, loving

910
00:36:40,719 --> 00:36:45,640
Speaker 12: relationship for you in CF. But it really is the networking.

911
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:49,719
Speaker 12: You have relationships with people. I do business with people

912
00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:52,560
Speaker 12: that I went to school with. We still have those

913
00:36:52,840 --> 00:36:56,720
Speaker 12: genuine relationships you work with them. When you think about, Okay,

914
00:36:57,080 --> 00:36:59,960
Speaker 12: if I have an event taking place, I'm thinking about, well,

915
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 12: so who can I help that went to clock Atlanta

916
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:03,200
Speaker 12: with me?

917
00:37:03,440 --> 00:37:05,719
Speaker 16: Or who you know went to another HBCU.

918
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,000
Speaker 12: A lot of the work that I do, even in

919
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:12,600
Speaker 12: the events world, I provide opportunities for other HBCU graduates

920
00:37:12,880 --> 00:37:13,120
Speaker 12: well with.

921
00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:15,320
Speaker 5: Some advice on tips you can give to help students

922
00:37:15,640 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 5: apply for and receive scholarships from you UNTIA.

923
00:37:18,960 --> 00:37:20,800
Speaker 12: The first thing I would want them to do is

924
00:37:20,960 --> 00:37:23,719
Speaker 12: to go to UNCF dot org and set up an

925
00:37:23,719 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 12: account and check back there every other week, because again,

926
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:33,200
Speaker 12: scholarships pop up every day that we're offering again. If

927
00:37:33,239 --> 00:37:36,120
Speaker 12: you're a graduating senior in high school, check it out.

928
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:39,279
Speaker 12: Set up an account. If you are in college and

929
00:37:39,400 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 12: looking for an internship, looking for scholarship opportunities, set up

930
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:47,239
Speaker 12: an account at UNCF dot org and just continue to

931
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,560
Speaker 12: check back. Make sure you have your resume, you know,

932
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:53,359
Speaker 12: written out. Talk to someone that does resume building. It's

933
00:37:53,400 --> 00:37:56,439
Speaker 12: so important. Make sure that you have your statement written

934
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:59,000
Speaker 12: out of why you want to even go to college,

935
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:01,879
Speaker 12: whatever college are you university? That is so just being

936
00:38:01,960 --> 00:38:03,760
Speaker 12: proactive and preparing yourself.

937
00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:06,719
Speaker 6: How early is too early? I know you said senior year,

938
00:38:07,080 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 6: but sometimes senior year might be a little too late

939
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:12,080
Speaker 6: because you just don't necessarily know. So how early should

940
00:38:12,360 --> 00:38:15,200
Speaker 6: I should? Parents should be looking into colleges, and same

941
00:38:15,239 --> 00:38:15,840
Speaker 6: thing with students.

942
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,760
Speaker 16: You know, you can set up your account at UNCF

943
00:38:18,840 --> 00:38:19,319
Speaker 16: dot org.

944
00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:22,239
Speaker 12: I mean as a freshman in high school, okay, and

945
00:38:22,440 --> 00:38:26,279
Speaker 12: start looking at different scholarships and looking for what is

946
00:38:26,320 --> 00:38:28,879
Speaker 12: it that you need to apply for those certain types

947
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,120
Speaker 12: of scholarships. It's never too early to talk to students

948
00:38:32,200 --> 00:38:35,680
Speaker 12: about scholarships, about financial aid. I mean that is so

949
00:38:35,880 --> 00:38:39,280
Speaker 12: important for parents and students to fill out that financial

950
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:42,919
Speaker 12: aid information. And I know the FASTPA has changed over

951
00:38:43,719 --> 00:38:46,160
Speaker 12: the course of this year, so it's making sure you

952
00:38:46,280 --> 00:38:48,920
Speaker 12: fill out your FASTPA. Set up that account at UNCF

953
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,080
Speaker 12: dot org. It doesn't matter how old you are. You

954
00:38:51,160 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 12: can start talking to your kids about scholarships in you know, fifth, sixth,

955
00:38:54,680 --> 00:38:57,960
Speaker 12: seventh grade, like we need money for you to attend school.

956
00:38:58,160 --> 00:38:58,279
Speaker 1: Now.

957
00:38:58,400 --> 00:39:00,359
Speaker 6: You know a lot of parents are I don't want

958
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,000
Speaker 6: to say have problems with scholarships, but have problems with

959
00:39:02,040 --> 00:39:04,239
Speaker 6: scholarships because they get the scholarship to get their kid

960
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,600
Speaker 6: into school, right, but now their kid is in school,

961
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,520
Speaker 6: they're freshmen. Now what happens sophomore year? Are some of

962
00:39:09,560 --> 00:39:12,360
Speaker 6: these scholarships four year scholarships or they just one year scholarship?

963
00:39:12,360 --> 00:39:13,520
Speaker 6: You got to get in then you're on your own.

964
00:39:13,640 --> 00:39:16,840
Speaker 12: Oh no, A lot of scholarships are four year renewable

965
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:21,239
Speaker 12: scholarships as long as you continue to keep that GPA requirement,

966
00:39:21,360 --> 00:39:24,120
Speaker 12: as long as you continue to keep whatever the requirements

967
00:39:24,200 --> 00:39:27,520
Speaker 12: are for that scholarship. And it's so important to look

968
00:39:27,640 --> 00:39:30,640
Speaker 12: and say, okay, is this scholarship renewable, you know, for

969
00:39:30,800 --> 00:39:32,960
Speaker 12: my student, so they can plan accordingly.

970
00:39:33,239 --> 00:39:35,759
Speaker 16: There are some scholarships that might be a one time.

971
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,719
Speaker 12: So if you do get that scholarship that's one time,

972
00:39:38,760 --> 00:39:40,359
Speaker 12: then you have to go back to the drawing board

973
00:39:40,400 --> 00:39:42,879
Speaker 12: and say, okay, let me see about some scholarship money

974
00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:44,359
Speaker 12: over here, over here, over here.

975
00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:47,440
Speaker 16: You can also piecemell it together. It doesn't all have

976
00:39:47,520 --> 00:39:48,600
Speaker 16: to come from one place.

977
00:39:48,719 --> 00:39:51,080
Speaker 6: Gotcha all we have more with Stacy Lee Sprapp, she's

978

Speaker 6: United Negro College Fund, Charloma.

984
00:40:05,239 --> 00:40:07,160
Speaker 5: When they talk when you talk about certain requirements and

985
00:40:07,320 --> 00:40:09,280
Speaker 5: I didn't go to college, to forgive me for my stupidness,

986
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:11,960
Speaker 5: but is it scholarships that's like if you if you're

987
00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,840
Speaker 5: five six, you know.

988
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:16,120
Speaker 16: What, there's a scholarship out there if you're left handed,

989
00:40:16,239 --> 00:40:16,720
Speaker 16: that's okay.

990
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,839
Speaker 12: It is scholarship money out there for everything you can

991
00:40:20,920 --> 00:40:21,160
Speaker 12: think of.

992
00:40:21,280 --> 00:40:22,520
Speaker 16: And I think that's the key to it.

993
00:40:22,920 --> 00:40:24,839
Speaker 12: You have to look for scholarships that make you might

994
00:40:24,920 --> 00:40:27,759
Speaker 12: be thinking like I mean, it was a left handed scholarship,

995
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 12: but it's out there. There are scholarships for all things,

996
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:33,719
Speaker 12: whether you play sports, whether you don't play sports, whether

997
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,959
Speaker 12: you're majoring in STEM, whether you're majoring and marketing, even

998
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:38,600
Speaker 12: entrepreneurial scholarships.

999
00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,160
Speaker 16: So it is scholarships available for everyone.

1000
00:40:41,239 --> 00:40:45,240
Speaker 12: It's doing the research, spending the time to do the research,

1001
00:40:45,560 --> 00:40:48,320
Speaker 12: being organized about where you're looking and what you're looking for.

1002
00:40:48,480 --> 00:40:51,000
Speaker 5: I wonder why why do they have a scholarship for

1003
00:40:51,040 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 5: like left handed people?

1004
00:40:51,840 --> 00:40:53,840
Speaker 16: Yes, center, I don't know because I didn't create this.

1005
00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,480
Speaker 6: M might have been a left handed billionaire that says,

1006
00:40:56,480 --> 00:40:58,040
Speaker 6: you know what, I just want to support other left.

1007
00:40:57,880 --> 00:40:58,759
Speaker 1: Handed people out there.

1008
00:40:58,960 --> 00:41:01,600
Speaker 16: You can come up with however you want to do,

1009
00:41:01,960 --> 00:41:02,960
Speaker 16: you know, scholarships.

1010
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:07,080
Speaker 12: When myself in Pinky Call, we gave scholarship money for

1011
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:10,360
Speaker 12: thirty graduating seniors at Clark and Land university.

1012
00:41:10,920 --> 00:41:12,120
Speaker 16: We had no rhyme or reason.

1013
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:14,719
Speaker 12: Our reason was that they would not be able to

1014
00:41:14,800 --> 00:41:18,320
Speaker 12: graduate if they didn't pay that dollar amount. So sometimes

1015
00:41:18,400 --> 00:41:20,279
Speaker 12: you have people that just say, you know what, I

1016
00:41:20,360 --> 00:41:23,080
Speaker 12: want to make sure these students graduate. I don't care

1017
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,480
Speaker 12: what their GPA is. It could be a two point Oh,

1018
00:41:25,600 --> 00:41:27,359
Speaker 12: it doesn't matter. I want to make sure they get

1019
00:41:27,400 --> 00:41:29,600
Speaker 12: the money so they can walk across that stack point.

1020
00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:32,200
Speaker 16: And that's what we did. Hey, we didn't care, it

1021
00:41:32,280 --> 00:41:32,759
Speaker 16: didn't matter.

1022
00:41:32,920 --> 00:41:34,880
Speaker 12: You owed money, and we wanted to make sure that

1023
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,880
Speaker 12: you were able to graduate in the spring.

1024
00:41:38,040 --> 00:41:39,400
Speaker 16: And so that's what we did.

1025
00:41:39,440 --> 00:41:40,759
Speaker 1: My daddy said, if I get a two point on,

1026
00:41:40,800 --> 00:41:41,640
Speaker 1: I'm coming back to Queens.

1027
00:41:41,960 --> 00:41:45,120
Speaker 12: Listen, you can graduate college still with the true point.

1028
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:48,280
Speaker 12: Oh and you graduate, and thank you, Lottie. But you're graduating,

1029
00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:51,560
Speaker 12: thank you, lady.

1030
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:02,880
Speaker 5: Now, how can students prepare and pay for college, especially

1031
00:42:02,920 --> 00:42:04,920
Speaker 5: with the federal student aid deadline coming up?

1032
00:42:05,040 --> 00:42:05,120
Speaker 10: Oh?

1033
00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,200
Speaker 16: Yeah, the deadline is around the corner.

1034
00:42:07,320 --> 00:42:09,879

1035
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:14,760
Speaker 12: what you qualify for. What kind of scholarships you qualify for? Again,

1036
00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:15,799

1041
00:42:28,239 --> 00:42:29,240
Speaker 12: millions of dollars.

Speaker 16: Todate U and CF is probably given out over four

1043
00:42:33,200 --> 00:42:36,040
Speaker 16: billion dollars in educating young people.

1044
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:38,759

Speaker 16: Martin Luther King went to Morehouse College.

1048
00:42:45,840 --> 00:42:49,120
Speaker 12: But we're not doing anything in particular besides what we

1049
00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:52,719
Speaker 12: always do, which is provide an education for black.

1050
00:42:52,520 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 16: And brown and young people.

1051
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:55,799
Speaker 5: What are some benefits of going to an HBCU CAA.

1052
00:42:55,880 --> 00:42:58,600
Speaker 5: My daughter's fifteen now, and you know she's of course

1053
00:42:58,840 --> 00:43:00,000
Speaker 5: she's already talking about college.

1054
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:01,560
Speaker 3: So what's the what's the benefits of going to an

1055
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:02,960
Speaker 3: hbc U versus the p w A.

1056
00:43:03,200 --> 00:43:05,520
Speaker 12: You know, I think for me, it's seeing people that

1057
00:43:05,719 --> 00:43:10,480
Speaker 12: look like you doing great things. It's again that community,

1058
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,719
Speaker 12: it's a smaller classroom. It's also go where you're celebrated,

1059
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:15,800
Speaker 12: not where you're tolerated.

1060
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:17,480
Speaker 3: What's the point of being a delta?

1061
00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:18,799
Speaker 16: What's the point of being a.

1062
00:43:21,000 --> 00:43:30,080
Speaker 3: What's the benefits Bene must.

Speaker 1: Wow, look at being a gallery it up.

1069
00:43:50,920 --> 00:43:51,200
Speaker 16: Listen.

1070
00:43:51,280 --> 00:43:54,120
Speaker 12: Being a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated was

1071
00:43:54,239 --> 00:43:59,760
Speaker 12: one of the greatest decisions for me. They are my sisters,

1072
00:43:59,800 --> 00:44:03,520
Speaker 12: my line sisters, my big sisters, my little sisters. Again,

1073
00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:06,560
Speaker 12: I not only work with them, I love them.

1074
00:44:06,680 --> 00:44:07,799
Speaker 16: It is a sisterhood.

1075
00:44:07,840 --> 00:44:10,440
Speaker 12: I don't have sisters. I have two older brothers. You know,

1076
00:44:10,480 --> 00:44:12,600
Speaker 12: I have a sissy that you know is my cousin.

1077
00:44:13,160 --> 00:44:16,080
Speaker 12: But it is about the love, it's about the sisterhood.

1078
00:44:16,160 --> 00:44:19,799
Speaker 12: It's about the community, it's about giving back. So all

1079
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:22,480
Speaker 12: of those things are what Delta encompasses.

1080
00:44:22,719 --> 00:44:23,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, because I think about it.

1081
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:25,400
Speaker 5: If you go to an HBCU, that's one level of

1082
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:28,080
Speaker 5: the sisterhood, absolutely and then together and that's with your

1083
00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:28,839
Speaker 5: Black Black people.

1084
00:44:28,920 --> 00:44:30,839
Speaker 3: But then you get pledged Delta, that's a whole other.

1085
00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,120
Speaker 12: Level, Listen, a whole other level of sisterhood and brotherhood.

1086
00:44:34,239 --> 00:44:38,279
Speaker 12: I mean again, that HBCU camaraderie is a sisterhood and

1087
00:44:38,320 --> 00:44:41,880
Speaker 12: brotherhood in itself, whether you pledge something or not. And

1088
00:44:42,120 --> 00:44:45,200

1144
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,399
Speaker 5: unless you've been fasting from social media for the last

1145
00:46:59,440 --> 00:47:02,280
Speaker 5: few years, and you may not know that Felicity Huffans

Speaker 5: served some time in prison and completed court ordered community

1147
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:09,280

Speaker 5: in twenty nineteen the conspiracy to commit mail fraud and

1149

1150
00:47:14,200 --> 00:47:15,160

00:47:15,400 --> 00:47:17,759
Speaker 5: And she served eleven days of a fourteen day prison

1152
00:47:17,840 --> 00:47:20,080

Speaker 5: hours of community service.

1154
00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:22,280
Speaker 3: And pay a fine.

1155
00:47:22,480 --> 00:47:25,840
Speaker 5: All because she tried to take a shortcut and she

1156
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:28,320
Speaker 5: quickly learned, like most of us learn in life, that

1157
00:47:28,480 --> 00:47:29,719
Speaker 5: there are no shortcuts.

1158
00:47:30,320 --> 00:47:32,400
Speaker 3: If you take shortcuts, you get cut short.

1159
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:35,320
Speaker 5: Can we flash back to what happened? What caused Felicity

1160
00:47:35,360 --> 00:47:37,000
Speaker 5: to end up in prison? Let's go to ABC News

1161
00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:37,439
Speaker 5: for the report.

1162
00:47:37,480 --> 00:47:40,840
Speaker 2: Police actress Felicity Huffman walking out of court today but

1163
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:44,520
Speaker 2: not free of prison. The celebrity brushing past cameras with

1164
00:47:44,719 --> 00:47:47,920
Speaker 2: husband and actor William H. Macy moments after she was

1165
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:52,080
Speaker 2: sentenced to fourteen days behind bars in front of the judge,

1166
00:47:52,280 --> 00:47:55,800
Speaker 2: the prosecutor said most parents have the moral compass and

1167
00:47:55,920 --> 00:47:58,200
Speaker 2: integrity not to step over the line.

1168
00:47:58,480 --> 00:47:59,800
Speaker 1: The defendant does not.

1169
00:48:01,480 --> 00:48:05,600
Speaker 2: After noting Huffman's fame and wealth several times, the prosecutor

1170
00:48:05,640 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 2: said emphatically, there's no paparazzi in prison. Prison is the

1171
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:14,160
Speaker 2: great equalizer. She must go to prison. After pleading guilty

1172
00:48:14,280 --> 00:48:17,640
Speaker 2: to fraud charges in May, Huffman admitted to paying fifteen

1173
00:48:17,719 --> 00:48:21,640
Speaker 2: thousand dollars to have her daughter's SAT scores rigged. The

1174
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:26,400
Speaker 2: judge noting she apologized and accepted guilt early. Then the

1175
00:48:26,600 --> 00:48:31,160
Speaker 2: sentence fourteen days in prison, thirty thousand dollars fine, one

1176
00:48:31,239 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 2: year supervised release, and two hundred and fifty hours of

1177
00:48:34,840 --> 00:48:36,000
Speaker 2: community service.

1178
00:48:36,360 --> 00:48:38,960
Speaker 5: She paid fifteen thousand dollars to have someone falsified the

1179
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:41,960
Speaker 5: results of her daughter's SAT score. You know what I

1180
00:48:42,040 --> 00:48:44,200
Speaker 5: wonder about this, and I probably could find the answer

1181
00:48:44,239 --> 00:48:47,359
Speaker 5: if I can enough to look. Her daughter didn't know, right,

1182
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:51,160
Speaker 5: so I'm sure her daughter studied and prepared for the

1183
00:48:51,280 --> 00:48:54,000
Speaker 5: SAT tests. What if her daughter would have passed on

1184
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,880
Speaker 5: her home marit was the falsifying of the results just

1185
00:48:57,000 --> 00:48:59,800
Speaker 5: in case she failed. What lack of faith did she

1186
00:48:59,880 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 5: having her daughter that she already knew. Let me go

1187
00:49:02,600 --> 00:49:04,360
Speaker 5: ahead and pay for her to pass, because I know

1188
00:49:04,480 --> 00:49:07,080
Speaker 5: she not too bright. Okay, I've been watching her since

1189
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:09,759
Speaker 5: she got here. I know she's stupid, all right. My

1190
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:11,359
Speaker 5: daughter going to live in the basement for the rest

1191
00:49:11,400 --> 00:49:13,080
Speaker 5: of her life. If I'll do something, she might have

1192
00:49:13,120 --> 00:49:15,680
Speaker 5: to join the circus or run for Congress, same difference.

1193
00:49:15,719 --> 00:49:18,759
Speaker 3: Either way, she ends up being a clown as a child.

1194
00:49:18,880 --> 00:49:21,359
Speaker 3: I would have all these questions for my mother if

1195
00:49:21,400 --> 00:49:22,160
Speaker 3: she did this to me.

1196
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,360
Speaker 5: I appreciate you going above and beyond, mom, you know,

1197
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:27,000
Speaker 5: actually committing a crime for.

1198
00:49:27,120 --> 00:49:29,080
Speaker 3: Me to get ahead, But damn you don't.

1199
00:49:29,080 --> 00:49:32,480
Speaker 5: Got no faith in my intelligence, okay, and my own

1200
00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:35,480
Speaker 5: abilities to pass this as a tea test now. Felicity

1201
00:49:35,560 --> 00:49:38,000
Speaker 5: Huffman recently sat with Eyewitness News to speak for the

1202
00:49:38,040 --> 00:49:41,160
Speaker 5: first time about her participation in this scandal and why

1203
00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:41,640
Speaker 5: she did it.

1204
00:49:41,840 --> 00:49:43,640
Speaker 3: Let's go to ABC News for the report police.

1205
00:49:43,920 --> 00:49:49,040
Speaker 14: When he slowly started to present the criminal scheme, it

1206
00:49:49,200 --> 00:49:51,919
Speaker 14: seemed like, and I know this seems crazy at the time,

1207
00:49:52,080 --> 00:49:54,640
Speaker 14: that that was my only option to give my daughter

1208
00:49:55,000 --> 00:49:58,840
Speaker 14: a future. And I know hindsight is twenty twenty, but

1209
00:49:58,960 --> 00:50:01,359
Speaker 14: it felt like I would be a bad mother if

1210
00:50:01,440 --> 00:50:02,680
Speaker 14: I didn't do it.

1211
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:04,719
Speaker 1: So I did it.

1212
00:50:05,320 --> 00:50:07,560
Speaker 3: Months later, the FBI was at her door.

1213
00:50:07,880 --> 00:50:13,719
Speaker 14: They came into my home. They woke my daughters up

1214
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:18,040
Speaker 14: at gunpoint, again nothing new to the black and brown community.

1215
00:50:18,400 --> 00:50:21,399
Speaker 14: Then they put my hands behind my back and hands.

1216
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:22,879
Speaker 14: We got to me and I asked if I could

1217
00:50:22,920 --> 00:50:25,640
Speaker 14: get dressed, and I thought.

1218
00:50:25,960 --> 00:50:26,680
Speaker 16: It was a hoax.

1219
00:50:27,040 --> 00:50:29,600
Speaker 14: I literally turned to the one of the FBI people

1220
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:31,239
Speaker 14: in a flack jacket and a gun, and I went,

1221
00:50:32,360 --> 00:50:33,919
Speaker 14: is this a is this a joke?

1222
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:36,759
Speaker 5: I felt like this was the only option to give

1223
00:50:36,880 --> 00:50:42,080
Speaker 5: my daughter a future. Felicity Huffman's net worth is forty

1224
00:50:42,120 --> 00:50:46,000
Speaker 5: five million dollars. Now, I am an habitual pocket watcher, Okay,

1225
00:50:46,040 --> 00:50:48,040
Speaker 5: I like to know how much money people are making,

1226
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,000
Speaker 5: and I like to know how they're making it. As

1227
00:50:50,040 --> 00:50:52,320
Speaker 5: soon as I heard her make these comments about this

1228
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,960
Speaker 5: was the only option to give my daughter a future,

1229
00:50:55,320 --> 00:50:58,399
Speaker 5: I googled her network because I needed to know why

1230
00:50:58,600 --> 00:51:00,520
Speaker 5: on God's green Earth would she feels like her daughter

1231
00:51:00,560 --> 00:51:04,000
Speaker 5: doesn't have a chance at a future. This young woman

1232
00:51:04,040 --> 00:51:06,440
Speaker 5: the privilege will have every single advantage that is provided

1233
00:51:06,480 --> 00:51:10,799
Speaker 5: to a multimillionaire's daughter, especially a multimillionaire who also has

1234
00:51:10,840 --> 00:51:13,360
Speaker 5: a complexion for the protection and connection.

1235
00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,640
Speaker 3: Now, listen to me. She is taking penitentiary chances for.

1236
00:51:16,680 --> 00:51:18,440
Speaker 5: Her daughter because she says she wants to give her

1237
00:51:18,560 --> 00:51:22,120
Speaker 5: daughter a chance, you know, to have a future. If

1238
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:24,840
Speaker 5: an actress worth forty five million dollars is thinking like that,

1239
00:51:25,200 --> 00:51:27,640
Speaker 5: how the hell do you not understand what people in

1240
00:51:27,719 --> 00:51:29,920
Speaker 5: the hood are going through? Okay, folks from poor and

1241
00:51:29,960 --> 00:51:32,600
Speaker 5: disenfranchised communities aren't even attempting to give their kids a

1242
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,440
Speaker 5: shot at a better future. He just trying to get

1243
00:51:34,440 --> 00:51:36,960
Speaker 5: their kids an opportunity in the present moment, and that

1244
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:38,880
Speaker 5: opportunity is usually just the.

1245
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:42,000
Speaker 3: Basics, food, clothing, some shelter right now.

1246
00:51:42,320 --> 00:51:44,160
Speaker 5: Okay, So when black and brown people are out here

1247
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:46,120
Speaker 5: doing what they got to do to survive, this system

1248
00:51:46,160 --> 00:51:48,680
Speaker 5: should have some understanding, Okay, but they never do. They

1249
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:50,960
Speaker 5: throw black and brown people under the jail for much

1250
00:51:51,080 --> 00:51:53,840
Speaker 5: less fourteen days and a fine.

1251
00:51:53,840 --> 00:51:56,560
Speaker 3: For mail fraud. You know, mail fraud carries.

1252
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,560
Speaker 5: A sentence of twenty years in prison and you have

1253
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:01,000
Speaker 5: to pay a quarter million dollar fund and be required

1254
00:52:01,040 --> 00:52:03,880
Speaker 5: to make full restitution. Like Felicity Huffman would have been

1255
00:52:03,960 --> 00:52:06,879
Speaker 5: some sister from a black of brown community, she would

1256
00:52:06,920 --> 00:52:11,000
Speaker 5: have gotten years years behind bars for doing what Felicity

1257
00:52:11,040 --> 00:52:14,160
Speaker 5: Huffman did guaranteed. But let's talk about the bigger picture.

1258
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:16,480
Speaker 5: You know, how you set your kids up with opportunities

1259
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,759
Speaker 5: to succeed in the future. How do you set your

1260
00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:22,239
Speaker 5: kids up with opportunities to succeed in the future by

1261
00:52:22,400 --> 00:52:23,880
Speaker 5: not letting them skip steps?

1262
00:52:23,960 --> 00:52:27,160
Speaker 3: Now, okay, letting them know that you cannot escape the process.

1263
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,759
Speaker 5: If your daughter takes the SAT and fails, then she

1264
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,040
Speaker 5: just fails study come back hard the next time.

1265
00:52:32,160 --> 00:52:33,200
Speaker 3: That is what life is about.

1266
00:52:33,440 --> 00:52:35,600
Speaker 5: We have to stop coddling these kids, especially in the

1267
00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:38,000
Speaker 5: world where they go on social media and see everybody's

1268
00:52:38,040 --> 00:52:41,280
Speaker 5: highlight reel. Nobody on social media is showing you the process.

1269
00:52:41,400 --> 00:52:44,000
Speaker 5: They not showing you the times they failed, the time

1270
00:52:44,160 --> 00:52:46,840
Speaker 5: things didn't go their way. I truly believe one of

1271
00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:49,600
Speaker 5: the worst things about so called cancel culture is that

1272
00:52:49,719 --> 00:52:53,239
Speaker 5: nobody wants to tell you about their mistakes anymore. Everybody

1273
00:52:53,280 --> 00:52:55,800
Speaker 5: wants to play perfect and act like they've always gotten

1274
00:52:55,840 --> 00:52:59,760
Speaker 5: it right. But guess what nobody has. Nobody is perfect.

1275
00:52:59,760 --> 00:53:01,640
Speaker 5: We all make mistakes, We say wrong things, we do

1276
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:03,879
Speaker 5: wrong things. We fall, we get up, we learn, we grow,

1277
00:53:03,960 --> 00:53:06,680
Speaker 5: we move on, we live and we thank God for

1278
00:53:06,800 --> 00:53:09,319
Speaker 5: always giving us another chance. If we don't allow our

1279
00:53:09,440 --> 00:53:12,080
Speaker 5: kids to fail and learn how to deal with failing,

1280
00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:16,360
Speaker 5: then we are truly hindering their chances of being successful

1281
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:19,040
Speaker 5: in the future. Felicity, right now you have an opportunity

1282
00:53:19,080 --> 00:53:21,840
Speaker 5: to teach your kid a tremendous lesson about failure because

1283
00:53:21,840 --> 00:53:24,360
Speaker 5: you failed. But you can't let that failure define you.

1284
00:53:24,480 --> 00:53:26,000
Speaker 5: You have to let it shape you. And right now

1285
00:53:26,080 --> 00:53:28,800
Speaker 5: your daughter is watching you. The way you handle this

1286
00:53:29,160 --> 00:53:30,600
Speaker 5: is how she is going to learn how to handle

1287
00:53:30,760 --> 00:53:33,160
Speaker 5: failure in the future. And when it comes to stuff

1288
00:53:33,280 --> 00:53:36,279
Speaker 5: like failing a test, please, it's just a test.

1289
00:53:36,360 --> 00:53:39,359
Speaker 3: You fail, you take it over. Maya Angelou said it best.

1290
00:53:39,560 --> 00:53:43,120
Speaker 5: Courage allows a successful woman to fail and learn powerful

1291
00:53:43,200 --> 00:53:45,440
Speaker 5: lessons from the failure so that in the end she

1292
00:53:45,560 --> 00:53:48,840
Speaker 5: didn't fail at all. Our greatest glory in life, kids,

1293
00:53:48,960 --> 00:53:52,799
Speaker 5: is not in never failing, but in rising every time

1294
00:53:53,000 --> 00:53:57,160
Speaker 5: we fail. Please let Chelsea handle Give Felicity Huffman the

1295
00:53:57,239 --> 00:53:59,440
Speaker 5: biggest he huh hee ha hee ha.

1296
00:54:00,080 --> 00:54:01,800
Speaker 1: That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise.

1297
00:54:02,600 --> 00:54:05,120
Speaker 5: All right, how many stories we've heard of, you know,

1298
00:54:06,160 --> 00:54:10,919
Speaker 5: sisters putting their kids in different area codes, are lying

1299
00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:12,680
Speaker 5: about where they live so their kids can go to

1300
00:54:12,760 --> 00:54:16,759
Speaker 5: better schools and then getting actual prison sentences. How can

1301
00:54:17,680 --> 00:54:19,440
Speaker 5: you we not understand what they were trying to do

1302
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,040
Speaker 5: for their children with felicity. Help me get a slap

1303
00:54:22,080 --> 00:54:24,400
Speaker 5: on the wrist for something that has a twenty year sentence.

1304
00:54:24,920 --> 00:54:28,280
Speaker 3: You know why? Too much caught them mayonnaise?

1305
00:54:29,440 --> 00:54:32,760
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well thank you for that donkey.

1306
00:54:32,800 --> 00:54:38,400
Speaker 3: Today the Breakfast Club, worry.

1307
00:54:38,239 --> 00:54:41,520
Speaker 6: Everybody is tj env Charlamagne to God. We are the

1308
00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,440
Speaker 6: Breakfast Club. Our guess co host Cardia Jordan is here, yes,

1309
00:54:44,800 --> 00:54:46,759
Speaker 6: and we got a special guests in the billings to

1310
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:50,279
Speaker 6: Meeka Mallory. Welcome backy, Hey, hey having me.

1311
00:54:50,800 --> 00:54:51,839
Speaker 18: I'm excited to be here.

1312
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:54,040
Speaker 3: Will Mallory. You got a lot of work that you're

1313
00:54:54,040 --> 00:54:55,520
Speaker 3: doing right now. You gotta get the word out about

1314
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:55,879
Speaker 3: some things.

1315
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:57,600
Speaker 18: There's a lot happening. I think you know.

1316
00:54:57,800 --> 00:55:00,600
Speaker 19: The overall thing that we need to know is that

1317
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,279
Speaker 19: our country is in big trouble and everyone everybody is

1318
00:55:04,360 --> 00:55:06,680
Speaker 19: going to suffer as a result. But whenever we in trouble,

1319
00:55:06,760 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 19: black folks, brown people, we suffer the most.

1320
00:55:09,840 --> 00:55:12,359
Speaker 3: And tell them in a state of emergency, you got

1321
00:55:12,360 --> 00:55:13,160
Speaker 3: your bok sitting right here.

1322
00:55:13,320 --> 00:55:16,920
Speaker 19: It is a state of emergency indeed, and it's getting worse.

1323
00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,040
Speaker 19: I mean, you and I talk about this all the time.

1324
00:55:19,440 --> 00:55:21,759
Speaker 19: To me, it feels like it's getting worse. I think

1325
00:55:21,840 --> 00:55:25,000
Speaker 19: also because a lot of people are so numb they

1326
00:55:25,040 --> 00:55:27,120
Speaker 19: don't really want to focus anymore.

1327
00:55:27,200 --> 00:55:29,439
Speaker 18: And that's dangerous because there's just too.

1328
00:55:29,400 --> 00:55:32,080
Speaker 19: Many things to do, too much to know about, and

1329
00:55:32,239 --> 00:55:35,480
Speaker 19: we just need to be well informed about what we're

1330
00:55:35,560 --> 00:55:37,759
Speaker 19: up against. And I think that you know, being able

1331
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:41,080
Speaker 19: to call it what it is, that white supremacy, excuse me,

1332
00:55:41,160 --> 00:55:41,760
Speaker 19: and white.

1333
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:43,359
Speaker 18: Vigilanteism is on the rise.

1334
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,520
Speaker 19: And of course we're dealing with issues within our own community,

1335
00:55:46,600 --> 00:55:50,759
Speaker 19: with mental health problems and poverty, cause and violence. There

1336
00:55:50,920 --> 00:55:54,000
Speaker 19: is a tension and a feeling in the country that

1337
00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:57,319
Speaker 19: I'm sure you all feel, and it's really dangerous. It's

1338
00:55:57,400 --> 00:55:59,399
Speaker 19: not a comfortable space. And you know, I don't think

1339
00:55:59,440 --> 00:56:01,560
Speaker 19: it gets better. Are just by us ignoring the problem?

1340
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:03,480
Speaker 1: How do you think we get around this fatigue?

1341
00:56:03,480 --> 00:56:05,000
Speaker 15: Because I do notice there was a fatigue, right It

1342
00:56:05,040 --> 00:56:06,879
Speaker 15: seemed like we were all all hands on deck maybe

1343
00:56:06,960 --> 00:56:09,000
Speaker 15: twenty twenty, in the height of all the George Floyd

1344
00:56:09,320 --> 00:56:11,440
Speaker 15: protests and all that. Everybody seemed like, all right, we

1345
00:56:11,880 --> 00:56:14,000
Speaker 15: on this and it seemed like everyone just kind of

1346
00:56:14,040 --> 00:56:17,080
Speaker 15: fell off. Not everyone people, thank God for you, but

1347
00:56:17,160 --> 00:56:18,960
Speaker 15: it seemed like there's a lot of fatigue right now,

1348
00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:20,920
Speaker 15: Like people say, I'm tired of hearing about it, and

1349
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,320
Speaker 15: that's what people also.

1350
00:56:22,640 --> 00:56:25,040
Speaker 19: First of all, movements always are up and down. They

1351
00:56:25,160 --> 00:56:29,200
Speaker 19: never stay consistent at one pace. It's impossible. People have

1352
00:56:29,280 --> 00:56:32,360
Speaker 19: to get back to their lives. Folks have families and

1353
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,560
Speaker 19: things that they have to do, so that's normal.

1354
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:36,080
Speaker 18: But there is a.

1355
00:56:36,160 --> 00:56:40,160
Speaker 19: Fatigue that, unfortunately, I think doesn't change until people feel

1356
00:56:40,239 --> 00:56:43,399
Speaker 19: so uncomfortable that they have no choice but to get

1357
00:56:43,520 --> 00:56:46,120
Speaker 19: back in the game. And you know, we try to

1358
00:56:46,200 --> 00:56:49,600
Speaker 19: continuously sound the alarm by making sure folks feel like

1359
00:56:49,640 --> 00:56:51,759
Speaker 19: there's a way for them to fit in and get in,

1360
00:56:52,239 --> 00:56:54,720
Speaker 19: but it's not until you start feeling it on your block,

1361
00:56:55,160 --> 00:56:58,280
Speaker 19: in your home that is like, oh, wait a minute,

1362
00:56:58,320 --> 00:56:59,760
Speaker 19: where's the where's the protest?

1363
00:57:00,040 --> 00:57:01,759
Speaker 18: Who am I supposed to be voting for? You know

1364
00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,680
Speaker 18: what am I supposed to do? To jump in the fight?

1365
00:57:04,040 --> 00:57:04,919
Speaker 1: So let's let's start.

1366
00:57:04,960 --> 00:57:07,120
Speaker 6: You know, a lot of people they don't necessarily run

1367
00:57:07,160 --> 00:57:08,759
Speaker 6: because a lot of people don't know what's going on.

1368
00:57:08,920 --> 00:57:11,280
Speaker 6: Like we get bombarded with so much in the news,

1369
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:13,040
Speaker 6: and half the time we don't know what's real or

1370
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:15,719
Speaker 6: what's fake, what's true, what's false. So what should we

1371
00:57:15,800 --> 00:57:16,320
Speaker 6: be focusing on?

1372
00:57:16,440 --> 00:57:16,520
Speaker 3: Now?

1373
00:57:16,560 --> 00:57:17,360
Speaker 1: What are you focusing on?

1374
00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,840
Speaker 19: Well, you know, I wrote these things down so that

1375
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:24,400
Speaker 19: you know, we could kind of break things into different parts.

1376
00:57:24,920 --> 00:57:26,880
Speaker 19: You know, in the summer twenty twenty, since you brought

1377
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:31,320
Speaker 19: that up, a lot of corporations were talking about their

1378
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:32,600
Speaker 19: commitment to diversity.

1379
00:57:32,800 --> 00:57:33,640
Speaker 18: That was the whole thing.

1380
00:57:33,760 --> 00:57:38,560
Speaker 19: In fact, corporations made pledges for millions and millions, probably

1381
00:57:38,720 --> 00:57:43,040
Speaker 19: billions of dollars, and certainly we've not seen that in

1382
00:57:43,160 --> 00:57:47,920
Speaker 19: the movement and across all spectrums of areas where marginalized

1383
00:57:47,960 --> 00:57:51,960
Speaker 19: communities need support, most companies have have either you know,

1384
00:57:52,160 --> 00:57:54,600
Speaker 19: gone away, they you know, and what do you call it,

1385
00:57:54,680 --> 00:57:57,800
Speaker 19: out of sight, out of mind. And then some did

1386
00:57:57,920 --> 00:58:01,440
Speaker 19: a few things. And of course we can't ignore that

1387
00:58:01,920 --> 00:58:06,880
Speaker 19: the recent news on Black Lives Matter has certainly helped

1388
00:58:06,920 --> 00:58:08,920
Speaker 19: people find a way to say, oh, well, you know,

1389
00:58:09,040 --> 00:58:12,600
Speaker 19: maybe I shouldn't be given to those causes, which you know,

1390
00:58:13,360 --> 00:58:15,240
Speaker 19: we talk all the time about how I call bold

1391
00:58:15,320 --> 00:58:15,920
Speaker 19: on a lot of it.

1392
00:58:16,120 --> 00:58:18,320
Speaker 18: Nonetheless, it has been an issue.

1393
00:58:18,440 --> 00:58:21,160
Speaker 19: It is an issue, and so one thing I have

1394
00:58:21,280 --> 00:58:24,280
Speaker 19: been focused on is calling corporations back to the table.

1395
00:58:25,080 --> 00:58:27,760
Speaker 19: And I've been working specifically on a company called Pinini.

1396
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:29,640
Speaker 19: And people are like, how did you get in sports

1397
00:58:30,480 --> 00:58:33,720
Speaker 19: and trading cards? Sports memorabilia and trading cards? Like where

1398
00:58:33,760 --> 00:58:36,520
Speaker 19: did that come from? But I always I often remind

1399
00:58:36,600 --> 00:58:39,600
Speaker 19: people that every case we get involved with, we find

1400
00:58:39,640 --> 00:58:41,720
Speaker 19: out from the people people call us. They call us

1401
00:58:41,760 --> 00:58:44,840
Speaker 19: and say it's a police brutality incident, they say something

1402
00:58:44,920 --> 00:58:47,440
Speaker 19: happened in the jail. That's how we got Imparchment Prisons

1403
00:58:48,320 --> 00:58:51,240
Speaker 19: with shout out to our family at Rock Nation and

1404
00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:54,520
Speaker 19: Team Rock because we worked to really make change in Parchment.

1405
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:57,560
Speaker 18: And I'm sure people in Parchment are probably like, what change.

1406
00:58:57,640 --> 00:59:00,320
Speaker 19: You know, it's still slow coming, but we did work

1407
00:59:00,360 --> 00:59:03,200
Speaker 19: with the local community in Mississippi to make some change there.

1408
00:59:03,800 --> 00:59:05,520
Speaker 18: But this all comes from people calling.

1409
00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:09,720
Speaker 19: Us elected officials, concerned citizens, scary folks. That's like, don't

1410
00:59:09,760 --> 00:59:13,120
Speaker 19: tell nobody's mine. You know that I called, But somebody

1411
00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,040
Speaker 19: hit me up and was like, hey, you should check

1412
00:59:15,080 --> 00:59:17,640
Speaker 19: out what's going on at this company, Panini. They have

1413
00:59:17,960 --> 00:59:22,600
Speaker 19: seventy five percent of their trading cards and their talent.

1414
00:59:22,720 --> 00:59:25,680
Speaker 19: If you will black athletes back black and brown, but

1415
00:59:25,920 --> 00:59:29,680
Speaker 19: primarily black athletes. A three billion dollar company with no

1416
00:59:29,960 --> 00:59:34,080
Speaker 19: senior executives that are black people, not even one. So

1417
00:59:34,160 --> 00:59:35,800
Speaker 19: when we found it out, we were like, okay, well,

1418
00:59:35,840 --> 00:59:37,480
Speaker 19: first of all, maybe we don't know, maybe they just

1419
00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:39,520
Speaker 19: didn't put them on the website. You know, we're gonna

1420
00:59:39,520 --> 00:59:42,680
Speaker 19: see and we sent a letter to Paninia. It took

1421
00:59:42,720 --> 00:59:44,960
Speaker 19: them a while to get back to us until it

1422
00:59:45,080 --> 00:59:48,680
Speaker 19: started to pick up in the media, especially after we

1423
00:59:48,800 --> 00:59:51,520
Speaker 19: sent letters to the NFL and the NBA and the

1424
00:59:51,600 --> 00:59:54,720
Speaker 19: players associations and all the others, asking why are you

1425
00:59:54,880 --> 00:59:57,120
Speaker 19: partnering with these folks who are allowing them to use

1426
00:59:57,200 --> 00:59:59,640
Speaker 19: your talent? It's basically our people being exploited.

1427
01:00:00,200 --> 01:00:02,040
Speaker 5: Specific company though, because there's a bunch of billion dollar

1428
01:00:02,120 --> 01:00:04,080
Speaker 5: companies that don't have black people in the c suite, So.

1429
01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,160
Speaker 19: Why do this specific Coey, Well, you know, we've had

1430
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:11,440
Speaker 19: similar conversations over the years with Walmart, with Verizon, you know,

1431
01:00:11,800 --> 01:00:15,040
Speaker 19: and in fact, with Verizon we went to them around

1432
01:00:15,120 --> 01:00:18,480
Speaker 19: Colin Kaeperneck to ask them why would they continue to

1433
01:00:18,560 --> 01:00:21,959
Speaker 19: sponsor and you know, be partners with the NFL knowing

1434
01:00:22,080 --> 01:00:25,320
Speaker 19: what was happening in the Colin So we find reasons

1435
01:00:25,440 --> 01:00:29,200
Speaker 19: to approach corporations all the time about their commitments or

1436
01:00:29,240 --> 01:00:31,880
Speaker 19: their said commitments to our communities.

1437
01:00:32,200 --> 01:00:35,240
Speaker 18: And from my perspective, black folks.

1438
01:00:35,040 --> 01:00:37,959
Speaker 19: In this moment, they need jobs like they need jobs,

1439
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 19: they need opportunities, they need a seat at the table, right.

1440
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,240
Speaker 19: And you know some people say, well entrepreneurship, Yeah, but

1441
01:00:43,320 --> 01:00:46,280
Speaker 19: why you're building because all of us here are entrepreneurs.

1442
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:47,640
Speaker 18: But we got jobs too.

1443
01:00:47,760 --> 01:00:50,479
Speaker 6: Dose Perini feel that since they've given so much money

1444
01:00:50,520 --> 01:00:53,280
Speaker 6: away to students and especially college athletes. I know they

1445
01:00:53,320 --> 01:00:56,040
Speaker 6: do a lot with nil deals that because they're doing that,

1446
01:00:56,160 --> 01:00:58,440
Speaker 6: they necessarily don't have to because they feel like we're

1447
01:00:58,520 --> 01:00:59,960
Speaker 6: giving the community money.

1448
01:01:00,160 --> 01:01:04,440
Speaker 19: Well they didn't say that, but from our perspective, no,

1449
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,560
Speaker 19: like at until Freedom, our perspective is regardless of how

1450
01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:09,600
Speaker 19: much you give away, you just doing what you're supposed

1451
01:01:09,680 --> 01:01:09,880
Speaker 19: to do.

1452
01:01:10,440 --> 01:01:12,880
Speaker 15: So what kind of action plans would you like to

1453
01:01:12,920 --> 01:01:15,280
Speaker 15: see Panini do to correct this like lack of diversity.

1454
01:01:15,320 --> 01:01:16,000
Speaker 18: What would you like to see it?

1455
01:01:16,040 --> 01:01:17,560
Speaker 19: Yeah, So, first of all, they need to have an

1456
01:01:17,560 --> 01:01:22,720
Speaker 19: advisory committee of individuals from our communities that can help

1457
01:01:22,800 --> 01:01:24,520
Speaker 19: them look at the diversity issues.

1458
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:27,560
Speaker 15: It's actually been amazing the dip and what we see,

1459
01:01:27,800 --> 01:01:30,480
Speaker 15: like I really felt like there was actually some type

1460
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:32,760
Speaker 15: of effort being made. Seems like they're not even given

1461
01:01:32,800 --> 01:01:34,640
Speaker 15: a damn anymore when it looks like publicly anymore.

1462
01:01:34,720 --> 01:01:37,840
Speaker 19: Well, just on that point, when we did the research

1463
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:42,040
Speaker 19: to find at every company, we sent letters by companies

1464
01:01:42,040 --> 01:01:44,120
Speaker 19: I'm talking about the leagues and the players Association is

1465
01:01:44,160 --> 01:01:46,760
Speaker 19: we sent letters to the CEO. We also went to

1466
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:50,280
Speaker 19: look for the diversity person, right because most companies have somebody,

1467
01:01:50,960 --> 01:01:51,200
Speaker 19: and we.

1468
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:53,280
Speaker 18: Found that most of those people were hired in twenty twenty.

1469
01:01:53,920 --> 01:01:59,560
Speaker 19: Like all the different leagues, their diversity person came on

1470
01:01:59,760 --> 01:02:03,800
Speaker 19: board or around twenty twenty and was well celebrated by

1471
01:02:03,920 --> 01:02:04,480
Speaker 19: the company.

1472
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:07,280
Speaker 18: So that just goes to show you that movements work.

1473
01:02:07,720 --> 01:02:09,680
Speaker 19: That's first of all that you know, for those people

1474
01:02:09,720 --> 01:02:13,680
Speaker 19: who think movements don't work, it actually provided opportunities for

1475
01:02:13,920 --> 01:02:16,720
Speaker 19: some of our people. And I'm sure depending on who

1476
01:02:17,040 --> 01:02:21,360
Speaker 19: the black person is in that seat, there's more happening

1477
01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:23,800
Speaker 19: within the community. But there's so much more that can

1478
01:02:23,880 --> 01:02:26,040
Speaker 19: be done. And that means that the movement can't stop

1479
01:02:26,040 --> 01:02:27,360
Speaker 19: because the job is not complete.

1480
01:02:27,400 --> 01:02:31,000
Speaker 6: Are people getting getting to actually be able to work

1481
01:02:31,080 --> 01:02:32,520
Speaker 6: or is it one of those things that we're hiring

1482
01:02:32,560 --> 01:02:35,520
Speaker 6: them just for the face, but they're not actually being

1483
01:02:35,560 --> 01:02:36,320
Speaker 6: able to contribute.

1484
01:02:36,640 --> 01:02:38,520
Speaker 19: Well, you know what, I don't know, and I'm sure

1485
01:02:38,560 --> 01:02:40,640
Speaker 19: there is a little bit of all of that happening,

1486
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:45,560
Speaker 19: you know, because I know several diversity folks in different

1487
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:48,600
Speaker 19: companies and some of them are frustrated. Others feel like

1488
01:02:48,680 --> 01:02:51,520
Speaker 19: they're really being supported. So I think it's a mixture

1489
01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:54,960
Speaker 19: of that, but we don't know until unfortunately issues start

1490
01:02:55,040 --> 01:02:56,800
Speaker 19: to come up and you start asking questions.

1491
01:02:57,040 --> 01:03:00,760
Speaker 18: That's the reason why we have to have different examples.

1492
01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:04,160
Speaker 19: So Panini becomes an example which says to other companies,

1493
01:03:04,240 --> 01:03:05,960
Speaker 19: they might be coming my way, let me try to

1494
01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:06,880
Speaker 19: get my stuff together.

1495
01:03:07,160 --> 01:03:09,160
Speaker 1: All right. We got more with Tamika Mallory when we

1496
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:11,560
Speaker 1: come back, don't move. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning,

1497
01:03:11,960 --> 01:03:15,720
Speaker 1: good morning. Everybody is TJ NV charlamagnea god. We are

1498
01:03:15,760 --> 01:03:16,800
Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club.

1499
01:03:17,040 --> 01:03:19,760
Speaker 6: We got our co host Clodia Jordan here and we're

1500
01:03:19,800 --> 01:03:21,040
Speaker 6: kicking it with Tamika Mallory.

1501
01:03:21,160 --> 01:03:22,600
Speaker 1: Clodia, you're on the front lines.

1502
01:03:22,600 --> 01:03:23,800
Speaker 15: Do you ever get discouraged?

1503
01:03:24,120 --> 01:03:24,320
Speaker 8: Hell?

1504
01:03:24,440 --> 01:03:26,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, and do you feel like what am I doing?

1505
01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:31,160
Speaker 19: I get more than discourage. I get pretty nasty about it.

1506
01:03:31,240 --> 01:03:33,120
Speaker 19: I send text messages in the middle.

1507
01:03:32,840 --> 01:03:35,280
Speaker 18: Of the night, saying words, bad words.

1508
01:03:35,400 --> 01:03:37,880
Speaker 15: So where's the motivation come from on those days when

1509
01:03:38,080 --> 01:03:40,360
Speaker 15: you know, we see the winds right, But there's the

1510
01:03:40,440 --> 01:03:41,600
Speaker 15: days where you probably I.

1511
01:03:41,600 --> 01:03:45,040
Speaker 18: Don't know about the winds. Well, Whens, I'm.

1512
01:03:44,920 --> 01:03:48,200
Speaker 19: Not progress, progress, A little bit of progress, a little

1513
01:03:48,240 --> 01:03:50,800
Speaker 19: bit of progress because wins, I don't feel like I'm

1514
01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:54,040
Speaker 19: there yet, you know, Andy, you know whatever. Some people

1515
01:03:54,080 --> 01:03:57,440
Speaker 19: would argue that we should be careful not to appreciate

1516
01:03:57,600 --> 01:03:59,880
Speaker 19: the things we've been able to accomplish, in which we

1517
01:04:00,160 --> 01:04:04,680
Speaker 19: have many things. But I think my I always say

1518
01:04:04,800 --> 01:04:07,960
Speaker 19: that my investment in this movement is very selfish. It's

1519
01:04:08,040 --> 01:04:10,520
Speaker 19: not like, oh, I'm doing it because of the other

1520
01:04:10,680 --> 01:04:13,960
Speaker 19: children and the other people. It's my own family. Like me,

1521
01:04:14,560 --> 01:04:17,040
Speaker 19: you know, I want to be able to drive and

1522
01:04:17,480 --> 01:04:20,960
Speaker 19: feel comfortable and walk around in society and not be

1523
01:04:21,200 --> 01:04:25,280
Speaker 19: treated differently or othered. I want my son to be protected.

1524
01:04:25,360 --> 01:04:28,000
Speaker 19: And now I have a grandchild, you know, and here

1525
01:04:28,120 --> 01:04:30,560
Speaker 19: this is a young girl or a baby who's going

1526
01:04:30,640 --> 01:04:31,760
Speaker 19: to grow up in this society.

1527
01:04:31,800 --> 01:04:32,720
Speaker 18: What is it going to look like?

1528
01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,480
Speaker 19: I don't want to leave here with people saying like, well,

1529
01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,440
Speaker 19: what did you do to contribute? And I'm over here

1530
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:41,680
Speaker 19: pointing at oh, well they did. No, we have a responsibility.

1531
01:04:41,760 --> 01:04:43,760
Speaker 19: And I think that's where every you know, when I

1532
01:04:43,840 --> 01:04:47,600
Speaker 19: get up and some days Claudia's turned into a situation

1533
01:04:47,680 --> 01:04:49,800
Speaker 19: where I go to bed like, I promise you, I

1534
01:04:49,840 --> 01:04:53,240
Speaker 19: will not do else for these people because of all

1535
01:04:53,320 --> 01:04:56,880
Speaker 19: the stress that I go through, the attacks, the lies,

1536
01:04:57,200 --> 01:04:59,160
Speaker 19: this and that. I'd be like, that's it, and then

1537
01:04:59,200 --> 01:05:01,640
Speaker 19: I'll be like, which people our people? Like In the morning,

1538
01:05:01,680 --> 01:05:03,400
Speaker 19: when I wake up, I'm like, let me go to work,

1539
01:05:03,400 --> 01:05:06,320
Speaker 19: because this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Calling

1540
01:05:06,600 --> 01:05:08,160
Speaker 19: on your life is something.

1541
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:11,160
Speaker 3: Talk to us about a Jica Owns boy. I tell

1542
01:05:11,200 --> 01:05:11,480
Speaker 3: you what.

1543
01:05:11,920 --> 01:05:14,640
Speaker 19: I was on a conference call last night with Angela

1544
01:05:14,760 --> 01:05:20,760
Speaker 19: Rye and Amanda SIL's and I mean, Alicia Garza, Ben Crump, everybody,

1545
01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:23,560
Speaker 19: Jeff Johnson, the names go on and on, all the people,

1546
01:05:23,680 --> 01:05:24,440
Speaker 19: Christy Henderson.

1547
01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:29,040
Speaker 18: It was the coordinator of it and first of all,

1548
01:05:29,120 --> 01:05:32,160
Speaker 18: the brilliance in this movement. Oh wow, to be on

1549
01:05:32,280 --> 01:05:32,920
Speaker 18: that call, I just.

1550
01:05:32,960 --> 01:05:35,880
Speaker 19: Wish it could be taped so everybody could see the

1551
01:05:36,040 --> 01:05:39,120
Speaker 19: thoughts and people working together to try to help get

1552
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:43,800
Speaker 19: justice for this woman's family. What happened to her is

1553
01:05:43,920 --> 01:05:46,240
Speaker 19: it seems to be very clear. At least it's clear

1554
01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:49,240
Speaker 19: to me, and you know, Crump before he gets an attorney, Crump,

1555
01:05:50,040 --> 01:05:52,600
Speaker 19: before he gets involved in things, he kind of knows

1556
01:05:52,800 --> 01:05:56,680
Speaker 19: what happened for the most part. So it appears that

1557
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,920
Speaker 19: the neighbor was a minace already like she had been her.

1558
01:06:00,880 --> 01:06:03,400
Speaker 6: Gave the lady donk of to day to her. Yes, no, no, no,

1559
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:06,160
Speaker 6: talked about it this morning.

1560
01:06:06,400 --> 01:06:06,520
Speaker 3: Yes.

1561
01:06:06,680 --> 01:06:09,200
Speaker 19: So it seems that she had already been harassing the

1562
01:06:09,320 --> 01:06:13,040
Speaker 19: children and people in the community. And this particular day,

1563
01:06:13,560 --> 01:06:16,160
Speaker 19: the kids were playing next door, which you guys probably

1564
01:06:16,160 --> 01:06:19,600
Speaker 19: already discussed. But you know, the kids were playing next

1565
01:06:19,680 --> 01:06:23,520
Speaker 19: door in a field, and she thinks she owns the field,

1566
01:06:23,680 --> 01:06:27,280
Speaker 19: so she's neighborhood Karen. She thinks she owns the field.

1567
01:06:27,360 --> 01:06:29,840
Speaker 19: She tells them when to come and go. The iPad

1568
01:06:30,080 --> 01:06:32,720
Speaker 19: was still in the field when the young man noticed it,

1569
01:06:33,000 --> 01:06:35,480
Speaker 19: and all the kids were inside. He noticed his iPad

1570
01:06:35,560 --> 01:06:36,920
Speaker 19: was there. He ran out to go get it. She

1571
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:40,120
Speaker 19: already had it somewhere along the line. She He approached

1572
01:06:40,160 --> 01:06:42,600
Speaker 19: her to get the iPad and he she hit him

1573
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:46,000
Speaker 19: with something so uh his and.

1574
01:06:46,160 --> 01:06:47,600
Speaker 18: Called him the N word.

1575
01:06:50,560 --> 01:06:53,840
Speaker 19: Well, this young man, the young boy is nine, and

1576
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:57,440
Speaker 19: this and and and aj as they affectionately call her

1577
01:06:57,520 --> 01:07:00,640
Speaker 19: aj Owens. She has four children and so I think

1578
01:07:00,680 --> 01:07:04,560
Speaker 19: the youngest one is too and so uh she So

1579
01:07:04,680 --> 01:07:07,240
Speaker 19: he went and got mama, and mama came back to

1580
01:07:07,440 --> 01:07:10,320
Speaker 19: talk to the woman. Get the iPad probably asked, you

1581
01:07:10,400 --> 01:07:12,480
Speaker 19: know what, why did you get my child? All of that,

1582
01:07:13,160 --> 01:07:15,680
Speaker 19: and the woman shot her through the door, shot her

1583
01:07:15,680 --> 01:07:18,040
Speaker 19: through the door and killed to I mean period, you know,

1584
01:07:18,320 --> 01:07:23,280
Speaker 19: and to add insult to injury, which is very similar

1585
01:07:23,360 --> 01:07:26,600
Speaker 19: to what happened to Jordan Nearly, or at least what

1586
01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:30,040
Speaker 19: happened to Daniel Perry, the man who killed Jordan Nearly.

1587
01:07:30,480 --> 01:07:32,840
Speaker 18: Is this this thing where you can just go down

1588
01:07:33,240 --> 01:07:34,200
Speaker 18: to the precinct.

1589
01:07:34,520 --> 01:07:36,720
Speaker 19: They asked you a few questions and then you just

1590
01:07:36,800 --> 01:07:39,040
Speaker 19: white and they say, okay, you can go home after

1591
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:40,200
Speaker 19: you've killed somebody.

1592
01:07:40,800 --> 01:07:43,320
Speaker 15: It is amazing that they It's like, do you mind

1593
01:07:43,400 --> 01:07:43,960
Speaker 15: coming in, and.

1594
01:07:44,840 --> 01:07:50,480
Speaker 19: Yeah, we just want to ask formal Well, yeah, they

1595
01:07:50,520 --> 01:07:52,360
Speaker 19: didn't release her name, but we know what it is.

1596
01:07:52,960 --> 01:07:56,000
Speaker 19: Her name is Susan Lawrence. I believe that's her name,

1597
01:07:56,120 --> 01:08:00,000
Speaker 19: Susan Lawrence. And you know, again, people in the neighborhood

1598
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:02,600
Speaker 19: know her. But let me just say on the issue

1599
01:08:02,600 --> 01:08:03,800
Speaker 19: of people getting to go home.

1600
01:08:04,080 --> 01:08:05,200
Speaker 1: Did she called nine one one at all? So she

1601
01:08:05,200 --> 01:08:06,720
Speaker 1: didn't call nine one until after she shot this.

1602
01:08:07,160 --> 01:08:10,280
Speaker 18: I don't know that's a good question because you know, usually.

1603
01:08:10,040 --> 01:08:12,840
Speaker 1: A self defense and if the door was closed, there

1604
01:08:12,920 --> 01:08:14,480
Speaker 1: was no way that she felt like her life was in.

1605
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:18,160
Speaker 19: Dangerous that I mean, you got to come on your ground.

1606
01:08:18,200 --> 01:08:20,120
Speaker 19: Of course, it's a lot of things that I think

1607
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:21,720
Speaker 19: they're gonna try to use. I think they're gonna have

1608
01:08:21,760 --> 01:08:25,200
Speaker 19: a mental illness thing. They're gonna try a lot of things.

1609
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:27,559
Speaker 15: But people that are allowed to be mentally ill because

1610
01:08:27,560 --> 01:08:29,240
Speaker 15: it's with us, we don't get that, grace.

1611
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:30,160
Speaker 1: No, we don't.

1612
01:08:30,240 --> 01:08:31,400
Speaker 18: But let me say that.

1613
01:08:33,160 --> 01:08:34,519
Speaker 19: One of the things I want to make sure we

1614
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:38,360
Speaker 19: mentioned is that this is not a new issue or

1615
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:42,280
Speaker 19: new concern. If you think about Emmett Till and other

1616
01:08:42,520 --> 01:08:47,200
Speaker 19: cases of the past, there was a time when white

1617
01:08:47,240 --> 01:08:51,040
Speaker 19: people could literally decide that you made them feel uncomfortable,

1618
01:08:51,320 --> 01:08:54,280
Speaker 19: or you you committed some criminal act. They didn't have

1619
01:08:54,400 --> 01:08:57,240
Speaker 19: to be in law enforcement. They could decide your punishment,

1620
01:08:57,439 --> 01:08:59,600
Speaker 19: kill you, whatever they want to do, and there was

1621
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:03,519
Speaker 19: no quinces for it. So we're going backwards to a

1622
01:09:03,680 --> 01:09:06,560
Speaker 19: time when that is now a thing again that you

1623
01:09:06,840 --> 01:09:09,880
Speaker 19: just gone downtown to tell Billy Bob, officer Billy Bob,

1624
01:09:10,200 --> 01:09:11,080
Speaker 19: everything was cool.

1625
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:12,759
Speaker 18: You know, I just shot me today.

1626
01:09:12,880 --> 01:09:13,200
Speaker 16: That's it.

1627
01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:17,000
Speaker 19: And and of course I hope we understand not to

1628
01:09:17,120 --> 01:09:19,040
Speaker 19: say that it is okay when it happens to men,

1629
01:09:19,120 --> 01:09:21,160
Speaker 19: because we fight for black men all the time.

1630
01:09:21,280 --> 01:09:24,280
Speaker 18: Our entire movement has been focused on black men.

1631
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:27,960
Speaker 19: But now they're killing black women, which brings us to

1632
01:09:28,080 --> 01:09:31,479
Speaker 19: Brianna Taylor. Shout out to Brianna Taylor and her family.

1633
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:34,479
Speaker 19: Look happy birthday. She would have been thirty years old.

1634
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:38,800
Speaker 19: Man thirty years old, a young, beautiful life, taking her

1635
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:43,320
Speaker 19: boyfriend Kenny Walker. Thankfully, the charges that the officer had

1636
01:09:43,400 --> 01:09:46,040
Speaker 19: against him have been dropped, so he's now free and

1637
01:09:46,120 --> 01:09:47,280
Speaker 19: clear to live his life.

1638
01:09:47,720 --> 01:09:51,280
Speaker 18: But yesterday, yesterday, I don't know when.

1639
01:09:51,160 --> 01:09:53,760
Speaker 3: That's the case. Was standing ground worked for a black person? Right?

1640
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:54,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

1641
01:09:54,600 --> 01:09:54,640
Speaker 5: What?

1642
01:09:56,000 --> 01:09:56,120
Speaker 1: Oh?

1643
01:09:56,280 --> 01:09:56,519
Speaker 3: Yeah?

1644
01:09:56,760 --> 01:09:56,920
Speaker 1: Right?

1645
01:09:57,040 --> 01:10:03,000
Speaker 18: Well yes, kinda yes, and yes, yes they charged them,

1646
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:06,679
Speaker 18: but they dropped it. They never admitted it. That's the point.

1647
01:10:06,800 --> 01:10:08,720
Speaker 19: Nobody ever said that he had the right to do

1648
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:11,040
Speaker 19: what he did or whatever, but he did right. And

1649
01:10:11,200 --> 01:10:14,160
Speaker 19: I think that they dropped the charges for a different reason,

1650
01:10:14,600 --> 01:10:18,000
Speaker 19: which is because they don't want to have to go

1651
01:10:18,120 --> 01:10:20,920
Speaker 19: to court and lay out the details. They're trying to

1652
01:10:21,520 --> 01:10:23,680
Speaker 19: push it, you know, sweep it under the rugs. It

1653
01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,360
Speaker 19: would make them have to do too much. So but anyway,

1654
01:10:27,320 --> 01:10:31,920
Speaker 19: so the attorney general in Kentucky, y'all talked about this.

1655
01:10:32,600 --> 01:10:37,280
Speaker 19: His name is Daniel Cameron. This man was responsible for

1656
01:10:37,479 --> 01:10:41,240
Speaker 19: the prosecution of the officers. He was responsible for finding

1657
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:45,160
Speaker 19: justice right as the attorney general. Because the local government

1658
01:10:45,400 --> 01:10:47,840
Speaker 19: decided that they didn't want to try the case. It

1659
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:51,160
Speaker 19: was too close with the police department and the local

1660
01:10:51,240 --> 01:10:53,960
Speaker 19: DA's and whatever, so they pushed it to the attorney general.

1661
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,240
Speaker 18: First of all, Daniel Cameron is a cop lover.

1662
01:10:57,720 --> 01:11:00,680
Speaker 19: He has videos out there talking by how he will

1663
01:11:00,800 --> 01:11:04,640
Speaker 19: defend police and law enforcement until the end and he

1664
01:11:04,680 --> 01:11:08,840
Speaker 19: will do whatever's necessary to stand with police. So he

1665
01:11:09,520 --> 01:11:12,920
Speaker 19: had the case and had a grand jury in paneled,

1666
01:11:13,200 --> 01:11:15,519
Speaker 19: which they went and they presented a case to the

1667
01:11:15,600 --> 01:11:19,599
Speaker 19: grand jury, of course, and which is what we fight against.

1668
01:11:19,680 --> 01:11:24,320
Speaker 19: The grand jury proceedings being secret. That's a problem because

1669
01:11:24,360 --> 01:11:26,160
Speaker 19: you don't know what's happening. You don't know what they're

1670
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:28,920
Speaker 19: presenting with the witnesses or what's gonna happen. So the

1671
01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:33,160
Speaker 19: grand jury comes back and returns their decision, which is

1672
01:11:33,320 --> 01:11:37,920
Speaker 19: to charge one officer which shooting through the wall and

1673
01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:39,759
Speaker 19: that could have hurt.

1674
01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:40,679
Speaker 18: The people on the other side.

1675
01:11:40,720 --> 01:11:42,599
Speaker 19: It didn't, but it could have, and so that charge

1676
01:11:42,720 --> 01:11:45,240
Speaker 19: was called wanting endangerment and that's what the person was

1677
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:49,080
Speaker 19: indicted on. They never came back with any charges about

1678
01:11:49,160 --> 01:11:52,400
Speaker 19: Brionna Taylor being murdered. We're about to knock on doors

1679
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,719
Speaker 19: until November. We're going to put ads up on TV.

1680
01:11:55,880 --> 01:11:58,960
Speaker 19: We're gonna make sure that every Ballotti, Dottie and everybody

1681
01:11:59,439 --> 01:12:02,280
Speaker 19: knows about Daniel Cameron and what he did to Breonna Taylsor.

1682
01:12:02,439 --> 01:12:03,920
Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, we have moved with

1683
01:12:03,960 --> 01:12:04,639
Speaker 1: Tamika Mallory.

1684
01:12:04,720 --> 01:12:05,080
Speaker 3: Don't move.

Speaker 3: How you protect yourself?

01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,559
Speaker 19: Well, first of all, We have security twenty four hours

1695
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:34,800
Speaker 19: a day, which is important, but you know, security is

1696
01:12:34,920 --> 01:12:39,000
Speaker 19: not necessarily able to stop some crazy person from driving

1697
01:12:39,080 --> 01:12:41,120
Speaker 19: a car through the window of your office or whatever.

1698
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:43,760
Speaker 3: So are y'all being set up? You know what I mean?

1699
01:12:43,800 --> 01:12:44,600
Speaker 16: That's oh like that.

1700
01:12:44,840 --> 01:12:49,000
Speaker 19: But but but but before we even get to the

1701
01:12:49,080 --> 01:12:53,040
Speaker 19: point of physical harm. Watching just watch, You're gonna be like,

1702
01:12:53,120 --> 01:12:55,000
Speaker 19: you gotta come back and talk about this. They're gonna

1703
01:12:55,040 --> 01:12:57,280
Speaker 19: have articles out in a minute about everything we ever

1704
01:12:57,360 --> 01:13:02,080
Speaker 19: did wrong. Who paperwork, ain't right, organization did this, Which

1705
01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:05,720
Speaker 19: is why I don't like to get into a back

1706
01:13:05,760 --> 01:13:08,519
Speaker 19: and forth about whether or not somebody bought a house

1707
01:13:08,560 --> 01:13:10,719
Speaker 19: in BLM. I don't like to get into that because

1708
01:13:10,760 --> 01:13:13,519
Speaker 19: I know what that conversation is all about, and I

1709
01:13:13,680 --> 01:13:16,560
Speaker 19: know who it benefits for us to get stuck in that.

1710
01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:20,120
Speaker 19: They want to discredit our movement so that they can

1711
01:13:20,200 --> 01:13:23,639
Speaker 19: make sure that nobody that nobody donates to Tamika Mallory

1712
01:13:23,720 --> 01:13:28,600
Speaker 19: either we all criminals. I'm not, of course I'm not.

1713
01:13:28,960 --> 01:13:31,280
Speaker 19: We said that on this show so many times, but

1714
01:13:31,360 --> 01:13:35,519
Speaker 19: you're right, repetition matters. I'm not in the organization Black

1715
01:13:35,600 --> 01:13:39,840
Speaker 19: Lives Matter, but I'm just saying that I've seen this

1716
01:13:40,040 --> 01:13:40,879
Speaker 19: movie before.

1717
01:13:41,400 --> 01:13:42,519
Speaker 18: This is not the first time.

1718
01:13:42,640 --> 01:13:46,040
Speaker 19: They they don't They actually don't do anything new. They

1719
01:13:46,200 --> 01:13:49,240
Speaker 19: repeat the same script over and over again. It's just

1720
01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:52,160
Speaker 19: that there are new players involved, so you think you

1721
01:13:52,320 --> 01:13:56,280
Speaker 19: in something new, But they literally have intentionality right now

1722
01:13:56,760 --> 01:13:59,320
Speaker 19: around discredit and our movement. It doesn't mean you shouldn't

1723
01:13:59,320 --> 01:14:01,720
Speaker 19: ask questions. There should be no accountability, that's not what

1724
01:14:01,800 --> 01:14:04,880
Speaker 19: we're talking about. But when we start going down that

1725
01:14:05,080 --> 01:14:07,400
Speaker 19: rabbit hole, there's a reason why they want us to

1726
01:14:07,479 --> 01:14:10,840
Speaker 19: stay there. And so what will happen is that in

1727
01:14:10,960 --> 01:14:14,559
Speaker 19: the next couple of weeks, especially if Daniel Cameron feels

1728
01:14:14,680 --> 01:14:18,080
Speaker 19: like our movement is a danger to him, you'll start

1729
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:23,080
Speaker 19: hearing who slept with who? Johnny you know, shot somebody

1730
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:25,519
Speaker 19: when he was twelve, who went to prison. That's what

1731
01:14:25,560 --> 01:14:28,280
Speaker 19: they're gonna do, to try to discredit the people locally

1732
01:14:28,439 --> 01:14:31,040
Speaker 19: and nationally who will be there fighting him.

1733
01:14:31,080 --> 01:14:35,960
Speaker 18: But we disfight it all, dispight it all. We're gonna

1734
01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:38,720
Speaker 18: be there. We have to stop eating that up there.

1735
01:14:38,760 --> 01:14:39,360
Speaker 3: We're so quick.

1736
01:14:39,439 --> 01:14:41,000
Speaker 15: But I knew it was a scam, and we have

1737
01:14:41,120 --> 01:14:44,120
Speaker 15: to stop being so skeptical of each other. Yep, Yes,

1738
01:14:44,240 --> 01:14:46,400
Speaker 15: I saw that happening in really, I'm like, oh, like.

1739
01:14:46,680 --> 01:14:50,600
Speaker 19: But there are scams. There are scams, and guess what,

1740
01:14:50,760 --> 01:14:52,040
Speaker 19: white people run them every day.

1741
01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:56,880
Speaker 1: That's right, But they don't we do something.

1742
01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:01,559
Speaker 19: No, no, you'll never, you will never. Like I give

1743
01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:06,280
Speaker 19: you an example. The Women's movement, right, they got all kinds.

1744
01:15:06,400 --> 01:15:08,599
Speaker 19: I know, we were in it, right and the Women's

1745
01:15:08,680 --> 01:15:14,800
Speaker 19: March we was in, We were leaders of the Women's March.

1746
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:18,720
Speaker 19: We know all about the stuff that goes on internally,

1747
01:15:19,160 --> 01:15:23,240
Speaker 19: but you don't know who's about people's salaries. You don't

1748
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:26,200
Speaker 19: know how much they make in these major women's organizations

1749
01:15:26,280 --> 01:15:30,760
Speaker 19: and other organizations that had or social cause, organizations that

1750
01:15:30,840 --> 01:15:32,080
Speaker 19: have people that don't look like us.

1751
01:15:32,479 --> 01:15:35,120
Speaker 18: You tell me what's they salaries? It doesn't come up.

1752
01:15:35,560 --> 01:15:38,519
Speaker 19: You don't know what house they have, where they live,

1753
01:15:38,840 --> 01:15:40,880
Speaker 19: how much money they spent, and if there.

1754
01:15:40,920 --> 01:15:43,800
Speaker 18: Is an issue, they deal with it internally.

1755
01:15:44,160 --> 01:15:47,400
Speaker 19: When it became public that there was a fight which

1756
01:15:47,520 --> 01:15:50,280
Speaker 19: wasn't even about money, it was because it was women

1757
01:15:50,400 --> 01:15:52,000
Speaker 19: of color at the helm of it.

1758
01:15:52,320 --> 01:15:54,000
Speaker 18: So we just have to be aware of that.

1759
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:56,559
Speaker 19: That does not mean that you don't have the right

1760
01:15:56,720 --> 01:16:00,000
Speaker 19: to say I gave one hundred dollars two hundred thousand

1761
01:16:00,160 --> 01:16:02,400
Speaker 19: and whatever it is, and I want to know what

1762
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:05,559
Speaker 19: is being done with my resources. I'm not telling people

1763
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:08,120
Speaker 19: not to ask those questions. I'm saying that what we

1764
01:16:08,240 --> 01:16:11,639
Speaker 19: see going on right now is not about asking questions.

1765
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:17,280
Speaker 19: It is about creating a creating a dissension campaign or

1766
01:16:17,320 --> 01:16:21,680
Speaker 19: whatever against our movement as a whole. And yeah, I'm

1767
01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:23,720
Speaker 19: not in BLM at all. I have none to do

1768
01:16:23,800 --> 01:16:26,360
Speaker 19: with the money, never received the dime. In fact, i

1769
01:16:26,560 --> 01:16:28,719
Speaker 19: asked them for a million dollars and I'm still waiting

1770
01:16:28,760 --> 01:16:33,080
Speaker 19: on somebody to respond, So this is not about that.

1771
01:16:33,680 --> 01:16:36,320
Speaker 18: But I'm also I also am clear that I.

1772
01:16:36,280 --> 01:16:39,200
Speaker 19: Don't get to separate myself from this whole movement because

1773
01:16:39,240 --> 01:16:43,160
Speaker 19: I know I only raise My organization raised three three

1774
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:47,519
Speaker 19: million dollars when BLM received ninety million. So that's why

1775
01:16:47,600 --> 01:16:49,720
Speaker 19: we asked for a million, which is not even enough.

1776
01:16:49,800 --> 01:16:51,479
Speaker 19: Because we was in the street in the summer of

1777
01:16:51,560 --> 01:16:54,360
Speaker 19: twenty twenty, and we know that people went on their

1778
01:16:54,439 --> 01:16:58,960
Speaker 19: phone and said, I'm not gonna look for a particular name,

1779
01:16:59,280 --> 01:17:02,360
Speaker 19: I'm just gonna give money to BLM. So I feel

1780
01:17:02,439 --> 01:17:05,200
Speaker 19: they owe me money, right, I think they have some

1781
01:17:05,360 --> 01:17:07,679
Speaker 19: of my money. So we asked for a million dollars.

1782
01:17:07,960 --> 01:17:12,160
Speaker 19: But I understand that this movement, everything that happens there

1783
01:17:12,200 --> 01:17:16,960
Speaker 19: are implications for all of us. If something happen with you, Envy,

1784
01:17:17,479 --> 01:17:20,000
Speaker 19: I've been watching you for the last few days.

1785
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:20,760
Speaker 1: I talk to you.

1786
01:17:21,439 --> 01:17:24,519
Speaker 18: You know what I'm saying. It impacts everybody that's close

1787
01:17:24,560 --> 01:17:26,040
Speaker 18: to you. That's just what it is.

1788
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:28,599
Speaker 19: So I just want to put that message out there.

1789
01:17:28,720 --> 01:17:31,000
Speaker 19: Be careful what you allow yourself to get dragged into.

1790
01:17:31,200 --> 01:17:33,280
Speaker 1: How can people donate if they want to donate.

1791
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:38,240
Speaker 18: Yiah, we need y'all to donate so bad, Lord have mercy.

1792
01:17:38,400 --> 01:17:41,200
Speaker 19: You can donate to until Freedom by going to until

1793
01:17:41,240 --> 01:17:43,840
Speaker 19: freedom dot com, which is the safest best way to

1794
01:17:43,960 --> 01:17:47,120
Speaker 19: get us donations. But of course if you want to

1795
01:17:47,200 --> 01:17:49,439
Speaker 19: cash up and bendmo and all of that, we're until

1796
01:17:49,479 --> 01:17:53,639
Speaker 19: Freedom spell it properly because people have stolen our stole

1797
01:17:53,840 --> 01:17:58,120
Speaker 19: whichever is the right way to say our name, colonize

1798
01:17:58,160 --> 01:18:01,640
Speaker 19: our name, and they put one extra E one the

1799
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:04,560
Speaker 19: ls or whatever, and so a lot of our donations

1800
01:18:04,640 --> 01:18:06,120
Speaker 19: were going to these other accounts.

1801
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:09,680
Speaker 18: So Until Freedom U N T, I, L F R,

1802
01:18:09,840 --> 01:18:12,640
Speaker 18: E E, D O M on all platforms you.

1803
01:18:12,720 --> 01:18:15,360
Speaker 3: Can give and did we get everything on the note pay?

1804
01:18:15,800 --> 01:18:18,280
Speaker 19: I think so let me see, Oh, copp City. So

1805
01:18:18,439 --> 01:18:23,320
Speaker 19: cop City, for folks quickly, is in Atlanta. Basically, cop

1806
01:18:23,400 --> 01:18:26,559
Speaker 19: City is a place that is being designed to train

1807
01:18:26,800 --> 01:18:30,920
Speaker 19: police officers from around the country. So in Decab County,

1808
01:18:31,760 --> 01:18:36,000
Speaker 19: Andre Dickens, the mayor, is creating a city. And by

1809
01:18:36,040 --> 01:18:38,160
Speaker 19: the way, people want me to mention that this was

1810
01:18:38,240 --> 01:18:41,360
Speaker 19: not his plan. It came from Governor Kemp and Keisha

1811
01:18:41,439 --> 01:18:44,599
Speaker 19: Land's bottoms and then he had the ability to keep

1812
01:18:44,640 --> 01:18:47,680
Speaker 19: it going or to cancel the project. So they are

1813
01:18:47,760 --> 01:18:50,320
Speaker 19: building this facility. That is what they're gonna say. It's

1814
01:18:50,400 --> 01:18:55,280
Speaker 19: all first responders. There's gonna be people there from you know, firefighters,

1815
01:18:55,360 --> 01:18:58,879
Speaker 19: they're gonna have There's an element that cannot be ignored

1816
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:02,000
Speaker 19: and that is the police training that will take place

1817
01:19:02,080 --> 01:19:06,040
Speaker 19: in the facility, and that is a problem. The Police Association,

1818
01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:08,240
Speaker 19: I think that's their name. Excuse me if I got

1819
01:19:08,280 --> 01:19:12,439
Speaker 19: it wrong. They are the ones that's coordinating the whole space.

1820
01:19:12,960 --> 01:19:18,479
Speaker 19: And so the basically the resources that the city council

1821
01:19:18,680 --> 01:19:23,000
Speaker 19: approved are to lease space for the responders and others

1822
01:19:23,080 --> 01:19:26,800
Speaker 19: to be trained. But the policing situation is the main

1823
01:19:26,960 --> 01:19:33,440
Speaker 19: focus of the facility. Bottom go well, because people elected officials,

1824
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:36,640
Speaker 19: they get nervous, and so when they start feeling the

1825
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:39,320
Speaker 19: pressure from the governor and all these people, because a

1826
01:19:39,360 --> 01:19:42,559
Speaker 19: lot of our folks don't understand what true public safety

1827
01:19:42,640 --> 01:19:47,400
Speaker 19: looks like. We've been taught that public safety is locking

1828
01:19:47,439 --> 01:19:48,600
Speaker 19: people up, but.

1829
01:19:48,760 --> 01:19:49,839
Speaker 18: The police exists.

1830
01:19:49,920 --> 01:19:52,720
Speaker 19: Now there's police all over Chicago and still there was

1831
01:19:52,760 --> 01:19:56,799
Speaker 19: fifty something people shot Memorial weekend. So policing is clearly

1832
01:19:56,960 --> 01:20:00,479
Speaker 19: not solving the problem. So we see what needs to

1833
01:20:00,600 --> 01:20:01,840
Speaker 19: be done, and it is.

1834
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:02,200
Speaker 3: It is.

1835
01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:05,960
Speaker 19: It is intentionally being ignored and they are fattening the

1836
01:20:06,080 --> 01:20:10,559
Speaker 19: pockets of the policing system and then not even giving

1837
01:20:10,680 --> 01:20:15,280
Speaker 19: true accountability measures to keep people account accountable. You cannot

1838
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:19,320
Speaker 19: train racism and white supremacy. You can't out train it.

1839
01:20:19,600 --> 01:20:22,120
Speaker 19: You have to convict it. You have to lock it up,

1840
01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:25,000
Speaker 19: and you have to give it consequences so that people

1841
01:20:25,040 --> 01:20:25,280
Speaker 19: will know.

1842
01:20:25,360 --> 01:20:27,200
Speaker 18: I could be as racist as I wants at my

1843
01:20:27,280 --> 01:20:28,960
Speaker 18: kitchen table, but I can't take that to work.

1844
01:20:30,920 --> 01:20:33,759
