WEBVTT - Black Entrepreneurs Need The Same Respect as Rappers 0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.600 An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child 0:00:03.680 --> 0:00:07.480 in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador 0:00:07.720 --> 0:00:11.840 accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with 0:00:11.920 --> 0:00:15.840 filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just 0:00:15.920 --> 0:00:19.680 some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President 0:00:19.720 --> 0:00:23.320 Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy nom the United States 0:00:23.320 --> 0:00:28.120 Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border 0:00:28.160 --> 0:00:31.680 crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over 0:00:31.760 --> 0:00:34.960 one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you 0:00:35.040 --> 0:00:38.920 are here illegally, your next you will be fined nearly 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:43.000 one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned, and deported. You will 0:00:43.040 --> 0:00:46.680 never return. But if you register using our CBP home 0:00:46.720 --> 0:00:50.120 app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. 0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:55.240 Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws, 0:00:55.400 --> 0:00:57.840 border and families will be protected. 0:00:57.920 --> 0:01:00.000 Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security. 0:01:00.120 --> 0:01:04.920 I want to say something that we was having a 0:01:04.959 --> 0:01:13.120 conversation at dinner yesterday and it's pretty insightful conversation that 0:01:13.240 --> 0:01:18.199 we had. And you know, when I do these monologue things, 0:01:18.280 --> 0:01:20.000 I don't do it every week because I'm not inspired. 0:01:20.000 --> 0:01:21.920 I don't want to just talk for no reason, but 0:01:22.080 --> 0:01:24.679 I do want to talk when I feel like it's 0:01:24.720 --> 0:01:29.399 appropriate because we have a platform and it's important to 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:32.400 shed light on certain things. So you know, we've been 0:01:32.440 --> 0:01:36.280 extremely blessed and fortunate to be going to a lot 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:38.560 of these different things. We go to the Grammys and 0:01:38.880 --> 0:01:43.080 super Bowl week were everywhere. We're literally everywhere. We like 0:01:43.080 --> 0:01:47.760 going after the egart at this point, that hasn't been 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:53.800 anything that we're not at. But what's concerning to me 0:01:54.840 --> 0:01:57.440 is like when you think of this word culture, right, 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:01.280 and a lot of people define our culture for us, 0:02:01.680 --> 0:02:05.560 and we define our culture for ourselves as well. But 0:02:05.800 --> 0:02:09.240 the people that are always nine times out of ten 0:02:09.360 --> 0:02:17.480 like really focused on celebrated, elevated. It's a small population 0:02:18.960 --> 0:02:26.320 and they're musicians, they're athletes, and they're entertainers, comedians, different 0:02:26.320 --> 0:02:30.040 things of that nature. And I don't want to be 0:02:30.080 --> 0:02:34.640 divisive because rappers are important. Everybody knows how we feel 0:02:34.680 --> 0:02:38.079 about jay Z and Nas and shot out to meet 0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:42.480 mill Ran into him, good brother, two chains, good Brother. 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:50.839 Our poets voices are important, but it's lopsided and it's 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:54.760 like when people want to do things from other races 0:02:54.760 --> 0:02:58.280 and they want to involve the culture, they're only involving rappers. 0:02:59.240 --> 0:03:01.440 So it's like, what does that say about what does 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.560 that say about your thoughts on us that the only 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:07.240 value add that we can provide is to entertain you, 0:03:08.120 --> 0:03:13.920 because when their peers are around, they're not rappers, they're entrepreneurs, 0:03:14.800 --> 0:03:18.880 they're billionaires, they're titans and industries, they're hedge funds. But 0:03:19.000 --> 0:03:25.160 then the counterparts for black people are only hip hop artists. 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:28.639 So but it's the same. But the level of respect 0:03:28.680 --> 0:03:33.000 for the black entrepreneurs are not given on the white side, 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:34.880 but it's also not given on the black side either. 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:40.800 Because when we champion and when we celebrate nine times 0:03:40.840 --> 0:03:44.360 out of ten, how we treat the people that have 0:03:44.520 --> 0:03:48.600 made historical moments in sports and entertainment is way different 0:03:48.640 --> 0:03:51.400 from the people that have made historical moments in the 0:03:51.400 --> 0:03:55.840 business world. And we also got to stop normalizing things 0:03:55.840 --> 0:03:59.680 that are extremely almost impossible to do. So it's like 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.440 fous for instance, right, it's like, Okay, this whole thing 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.520 started with an iPhone. We get to a point where 0:04:06.520 --> 0:04:09.360 we can have invest vests with fourteen thousand people and 0:04:09.360 --> 0:04:12.800 sell our Royal alberhol and Madison Square Garden. And then 0:04:12.840 --> 0:04:15.280 it's like, well, people might not be aware, Well they 0:04:15.320 --> 0:04:18.919 should be aware. You should be aware, because that's like 0:04:19.640 --> 0:04:23.440 it's negligence if you're not aware, because it's like, okay, 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:25.920 if you own a baseball team and you don't know 0:04:26.160 --> 0:04:28.960 that there's top prodigies in the Dominican Republic where you're 0:04:28.960 --> 0:04:33.560 getting fired because there's really no excuse for the incompetence 0:04:33.600 --> 0:04:36.760 of not knowing that. So to say, oh, yeah, that 0:04:36.880 --> 0:04:39.760 is cool, they have a pot like it's almost impossible 0:04:39.760 --> 0:04:43.040 to accomplish what we've been able to accomplish, and you're 0:04:43.040 --> 0:04:46.360 trying to normalize it. But somebody makes a hit record 0:04:46.880 --> 0:04:51.359 and you're running after them like they're Superman. So we 0:04:51.400 --> 0:04:54.200 can blame white people, and they do have a lot 0:04:54.240 --> 0:04:57.320 to They do have a lot to explain why they 0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.720 only want a champion hip hop music and why that's 0:04:59.720 --> 0:05:02.880 the most most important part of the spectrum. But we 0:05:02.920 --> 0:05:06.359 also got to look internally at ourselves as well, because 0:05:06.400 --> 0:05:11.560 why we why do we only celebrate a small portion 0:05:12.000 --> 0:05:16.040 of what we represent right? Why is that the most 0:05:16.080 --> 0:05:19.200 important thing? Why are that? Why are those people considered 0:05:19.320 --> 0:05:26.760 legends and we're considered social media personalities. So this is 0:05:26.800 --> 0:05:31.040 something that's extremely important because how the world views us 0:05:31.760 --> 0:05:34.320 is how we view ourselves and how other people are 0:05:34.400 --> 0:05:37.760 viewing us. And I mean it's cool, And like I said, 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:39.680 I don't want to cause the vision because a lot 0:05:39.720 --> 0:05:44.159 of these guys are our friends and they're important. But 0:05:44.400 --> 0:05:46.920 at some point we got to just take a take 0:05:46.920 --> 0:05:47.600 a step. 0:05:47.360 --> 0:05:50.960 Back, Ernest, what's up. You ever walk into a small 0:05:51.040 --> 0:05:54.440 business and everything just works, like the checkout is fast, 0:05:54.560 --> 0:05:58.279 or seats of digital tipping is a breeze and you're 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:01.039 out the door before the line even builds odds are 0:06:01.480 --> 0:06:05.080 they're using Square.

This episode is brought to you by 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.680 P and C Bank. A lot of people think podcasts 0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:04.960 about work are boring, and sure they definitely can be, 0:07:05.480 --> 0:07:08.719 but understanding a professionals routine shows us how they achieve 0:07:08.800 --> 0:07:13.000 their success little by little, day after day. It's like 0:07:13.080 --> 0:07:15.880 banking with P and C Bank. It might seem boring 0:07:15.880 --> 0:07:18.720 to save, plan and make calculated decisions with your bank, 0:07:19.160 --> 0:07:21.640 but keeping your money boring is what helps you live 0:07:21.720 --> 0:07:25.800 a more happily fulfilled life.

Brilliantly Boring since eighteen sixty 0:07:30.440 --> 0:07:33.720 five is a service mark of the PNC Financial Service Group, Inc. 0:07:34.160 --> 0:07:37.600 P and C Bank National Association Member FDIC. 0:07:39.360 --> 0:07:43.040 An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:46.840 in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from El Salvador 0:07:47.080 --> 0:07:51.240 accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with 0:07:51.280 --> 0:07:55.200 filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:59.040 some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President 0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.680 Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christy Noman, the United States 0:08:02.680 --> 0:08:07.480 Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:11.040 crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over 0:08:11.120 --> 0:08:14.320 one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you 0:08:14.400 --> 0:08:18.280 were here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:22.360 one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you will 0:08:22.400 --> 0:08:26.040 never return. But if you register using our CBP home 0:08:26.080 --> 0:08:29.480 app and leave now, you could be allowed to return legally. 0:08:29.840 --> 0:08:34.600 Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump, America's laws, 0:08:34.760 --> 0:08:37.200 border and families will be protected. 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:39.839 Sponsored by the United States Department of Homeland Security. 0:08:40.520 --> 0:08:44.360 And say, okay, what's more important? Is it just to 0:08:44.360 --> 0:08:50.480 celebrate people wearing weird clothes and doing funny dances? Because 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.160 when Robert Smith is not getting the same treatment that 0:08:53.240 --> 0:08:56.760 a white billionaires getting. Nobody knew who Don Peoples was 0:08:56.840 --> 0:08:59.400 until he came on a platform, So even our billionaires 0:08:59.400 --> 0:09:01.760 are not given the same respect. Because I see people 0:09:01.840 --> 0:09:04.600 that'll that will they'll do things for other races that 0:09:04.679 --> 0:09:08.000 are billionaires that they would never do for a black billionaire. 0:09:09.160 --> 0:09:14.640 So it at a certain point in time, the admiration 0:09:14.960 --> 0:09:20.360 has to turn into two asking questions where it's like, nah, 0:09:20.920 --> 0:09:24.040 it's not like okay, slutty Vegan, she's pinky is cool, 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.640 like she's a cool entrepreneur. No, she's a she's a leader. 0:09:27.000 --> 0:09:31.520 She needs to be treated the same way that any 0:09:31.800 --> 0:09:36.199 entertainer is treated or better because I don't care, like 0:09:36.280 --> 0:09:38.120 Derry Falcon said, I don't care how good you are. 0:09:38.200 --> 0:09:39.719 At some point in time, your career is going to 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:43.199 be over. But if you're an entrepreneur, you really changing 0:09:43.240 --> 0:09:46.880 the dynamic of your of your community. So stop treating 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:50.200 the entrepreneur like, oh, it's just a cool person to 0:09:50.200 --> 0:09:52.960 hang around with, or they're doing some cool things. Now 0:09:53.000 --> 0:09:56.640 stop doing that. Treat the entrepreneur as somebody that is 0:09:57.080 --> 0:10:00.200 the most important person in the whole spectrum because often 0:10:00.280 --> 0:10:03.200 moves without it, and if not, then we always going 0:10:03.240 --> 0:10:06.960 to be entertaining other people. It's like a circus. So 0:10:07.600 --> 0:10:11.600 at some point you have to stop being entertained and 0:10:11.640 --> 0:10:15.200 really look at things critically and say, okay, if this 0:10:15.320 --> 0:10:20.000 is really for the culture. The culture is more than 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:25.479 sports and entertainment. The culture is media, The culture is entrepreneurship, 0:10:25.559 --> 0:10:29.360 the culture is activism, the cultures politics. These are all 0:10:29.400 --> 0:10:31.400 important parts of the culture. So if you're trying to 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.680 uplift the culture, you got to uplift all the voices, 0:10:35.160 --> 0:10:39.920 not just the people that are on TV. It's extremely 0:10:39.920 --> 0:10:42.679 important point. I just wanted to highlight that, And like 0:10:42.720 --> 0:10:47.880 I said, it's not a divisive thing because these people 0:10:47.960 --> 0:10:51.000 are important and they've given us motivation, they've given us, 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:54.880 they've given us inspiration sports and entertainment. But at some 0:10:55.000 --> 0:10:57.959 point we have to balance the playing field a little bit. 0:10:58.320 --> 0:11:01.240 Yeah, I mean it's important for a number of reasons. 0:11:01.240 --> 0:11:03.520 But another thing is, like, for as far as people 0:11:03.520 --> 0:11:06.839 are thinking we have gone in this space and trail blaze, right, 0:11:07.000 --> 0:11:09.160 if we're not being recognized in some of these spaces, 0:11:09.440 --> 0:11:11.760 what does that say for the everyday entrepreneur who's fighting 0:11:11.840 --> 0:11:15.240 to get to that spot, right, Like it becomes a 0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:17.760 place where it's like, yo, they have your recognise guys, 0:11:17.760 --> 0:11:21.160 and look how much they've done. But it's important that 0:11:21.240 --> 0:11:24.079 you said, because not only they're not being recognized, right, 0:11:24.160 --> 0:11:26.400 our billionaires and our people who are successful in business. 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.439 They're not even being invited, right, It doesn't need to 0:11:29.440 --> 0:11:32.200 become the cool thing to even have them there. And 0:11:32.400 --> 0:11:34.520 you got to sit back and wonder, like, well, why 0:11:34.600 --> 0:11:37.160 is this happening? Who's making the decision, so, who's sending 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.680 out these things, and who's creating the atmosphere to have 0:11:39.800 --> 0:11:42.360 our entertainers there? Do they look like us? 0:11:43.960 --> 0:11:46.120 Shout out to Diddy, Shout out to people that have 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.199 actually amplified the voices of what we have going on. 0:11:49.559 --> 0:11:53.680 Listen the entrepreneurial movement. Shout out to Diddy, Shout out 0:11:53.800 --> 0:11:56.959 to Steve Harvey. There's a lot of people. I don't 0:11:57.000 --> 0:11:59.360 want to seem like there's nobody said I hate that too. 0:11:59.360 --> 0:12:01.160 I don't want to try that narrative out there like 0:12:01.200 --> 0:12:03.360 all black people are against Like, no, that's not true. 0:12:03.440 --> 0:12:08.800 There's people that's actively helping move the ship forward. But 0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.280 then there's some people that's not. And like I said, 0:12:10.320 --> 0:12:12.320 it might be that some people they're not aware, Well 0:12:12.360 --> 0:12:14.760 you should be. You should be aware. What else you 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.720 have to do? Like you said, you got to do 0:12:17.720 --> 0:12:19.520 more work? How much more can you do? Like that's 0:12:19.559 --> 0:12:23.280 like saying, okay, look like there's a basketball player that's 0:12:23.320 --> 0:12:27.080 averaging fifty points a game in college, and they're like, yo, 0:12:27.120 --> 0:12:27.600 you gotta work. 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:29.800 How much more can you do?
