1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:00,440
Speaker 1: Mourning.

2
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 2: Everybody is DJ n V Charlemagne the God. We are

3
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:05,680
Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club. We got our guest co host, Kim

4
00:00:05,680 --> 00:00:08,320
Speaker 2: Whitley head joining us. Now, if you're just joining us,

5
00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: we're talking about Ebony k Williams. She talked about she

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,800
Speaker 2: would never date a bus driver, and then she doubled

7
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 2: down and said this.

8
00:00:15,120 --> 00:00:18,960
Speaker 3: I only saw a handful that even considered the possibility

9
00:00:19,320 --> 00:00:23,160
Speaker 3: of a bus owner being a more aspirational position. Now,

10
00:00:23,160 --> 00:00:25,279
Speaker 3: I suspect that some of y'all are the same men

11
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,400
Speaker 3: that were bringing home c's and d's on your report cards,

12
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:31,160
Speaker 3: only to then be coddled by parents that said, well,

13
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,120
Speaker 3: that's okay as long as you're doing your best. Well, listen,

14
00:00:34,159 --> 00:00:37,120
Speaker 3: I love and believe in the excellence of black men.

15
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 3: So no, my dear c's and d's or any other

16
00:00:40,560 --> 00:00:44,239
Speaker 3: form of mediocrity is not okay. But could it be

17
00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:48,160
Speaker 3: that black America has been sold a narrative of average,

18
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 3: regular and typical being good enough for us? Well, see,

19
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:54,760
Speaker 3: that's called white supremacy.

20
00:00:54,920 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: So we're taking your phone calls this morning. What's your thoughts?

21
00:00:57,040 --> 00:00:57,680
Speaker 1: Hell her? Who's this?

22
00:00:58,160 --> 00:00:58,360

Speaker 1: Shirley, name him what Mama.

26
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:08,920
Speaker 5: I definitely feel like this is the reason why she's single.

27
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:11,919
Speaker 6: I feel like, if the person is putting God first,

28
00:01:12,520 --> 00:01:15,400
Speaker 6: is loving you unconditionally, why should the occupation matter?

29
00:01:15,880 --> 00:01:18,959
Speaker 4: Because she want to go to dinner somewhere I guess expensive,

30
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:20,760
Speaker 4: and you know women are like who paying?

31
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,000
Speaker 5: So I'm with him, like me and my husband.

Speaker 3: We get out here, we work harrd.

33
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:30,840
Speaker 4: You know, I have I fears praying to him.

34
00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,880
Speaker 5: He has too. He's but he loves God first, and

35
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,600

Speaker 6: Get out here and do what you need to do

38
00:01:41,200 --> 00:01:41,679
Speaker 6: to get out.

Speaker 5: is doing you know, you're taking care of your family.

41
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 6: But that's probably why she sings her now.

42
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,000
Speaker 4: So yeah, all right, thank there's some good advertisement for

43
00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:53,600

44
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 4: times this morning, several times.

45
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: But you know, you know what I maybe think about

46
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 2: it too, is the people that support Ebony, that watch

47
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 2: her shows, that watch her own reality shows, that watch

48
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:06,760
Speaker 2: her new judge show. Those are quote unquote.

49
00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,200
Speaker 6: The average average, Those average people you're talking about the

50
00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 6: everyday working class are who you want to support your podcast.

51
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:16,000
Speaker 4: You don't want them to turn away from you because

00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 4: it's gonna go down, gonna go dowsh Right.

55
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 2: about Emny K Williams comments?

56
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 5: Good morning? I myself am attended for all the many

57
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:36,440
Speaker 5: students that I've educated who have become bus drivers, plumbers, electricians.

58
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 5: She needs to retract her comment and make it more personal. Yeah,

59
00:02:41,639 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 5: she's a millionaire and she prefers to date one. She

60
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 5: should say that, but she should not pluck down about

61
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:53,440
Speaker 5: men who are out there working hard normal quote unquote

62
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 5: normal job. But I'm more offended about it. He's and

63
00:02:56,400 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 5: D's comments right, educating students ninety nine and I am

64
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 5: a mother and that is so disrespectful. Yeah, there are

65
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 5: children out here who can only get a seat. Do

66
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:09,840
Speaker 5: you know why?

67
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 3: Why?

68
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 6: Learning learning disabilities? I said learning disabilities, but it also

69
00:03:17,280 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 6: a systemic bias and education.

70
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:20,640
Speaker 3: Yep, thank you, And.

71
00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 5: There's a good bias.

72
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 7: My kids are taking a New York to Day mouth esterday.

73
00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:28,080
Speaker 7: They're not ready for it, right, because it's a bias. Yes,

74
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,560
Speaker 7: so how to see though these weren't their best and

75
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 7: if parents weren't doing their best, that was a horror.

76
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 7: A promise and she really really need say something again.

77
00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,000

Speaker 7: I'm rich.

00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:41,039
Speaker 1: Good morning, rich, good morning, good morning son. Now you

107
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:41,680
Speaker 1: agree with.

108
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:43,480
Speaker 2: Me, you agree with Abney Kate Williams.

109
00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:47,080
Speaker 1: I bet that she could have worded that better. But

110
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:50,359
Speaker 1: at the same tour game. All right, So I was

111
00:04:50,440 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 1: I was a trash worker for twenty years, right and

112
00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: they and they made us out here. I started my

113
00:04:58,200 --> 00:04:59,960
Speaker 1: own company with my wife from I saw the home

114
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: companies this then. But there's nothing wrong with being a

115
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:07,160
Speaker 1: trash worker. Nobody aspire us to be a trash worker,

116
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,200
Speaker 1: you see what I'm saying. So we have to do so,

117
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:13,880
Speaker 1: you know, our parents have to do better, to push

118
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: us to do better. You know, although we we are

119
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,680
Speaker 1: sex workers, we we are needed out here, we are necessary,

120
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:23,719
Speaker 1: but we're not looking. We'll always look down upon.

121
00:05:24,120 --> 00:05:25,159
Speaker 2: No, you're not.

122
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,880
Speaker 6: No, you're not not not in New York Because when

123
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,960
Speaker 6: that trash start piling up the front, where is the

124
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 6: sanitation workers?

125
00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, where a pick.

126
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:34,840
Speaker 3: Up the work.

127
00:05:35,279 --> 00:05:37,680
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna put up. I'm gonna put a thude

128
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: like this, we are we all want this when we

129
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,200
Speaker 1: are needed, but when we aren't needed, they don't. They

130
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:45,280
Speaker 1: don't want to look at us like that.

131
00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 2: But that's the y y'all, you're always needed. I can't

132
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,760
Speaker 2: think of the time that y'are not needed.

133
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:50,039
Speaker 6: Never.

134
00:05:50,200 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's changed. I think that might have

135
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,719
Speaker 4: been twenty years ago. I tried to holler at my

136
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,640
Speaker 4: uh my trash worker. He was so fine he got

137
00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,240
Speaker 4: off that truck. I was like, wait a minute, I.

138
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,400
Speaker 2: Said, how you doing? Let me help you with that

139
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 2: bad I canna lie. I mean, I appreciate all the

140
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:10,080
Speaker 2: sanitation under all of them. Sometimes when you block the streets,

141
00:06:10,080 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 2: sometimes we can't get by. But other than that, I

142
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:15,599
Speaker 2: appreciate you got that's right, that's right. What's the biler story.

143
00:06:15,400 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 6: That the moral of the story is that everyday working

144
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 6: class people are not average, they're not mediocre, they're not typical.

145
00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 6: And it's the level of eliticism in those words that

146
00:06:23,839 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 6: I don't like. And you know, Ebany is the homie.

147
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,280
Speaker 6: She's entitled her preference. She can date whoever she wants

148
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:30,440
Speaker 6: to date, she can have whatever standard she wants. Well,

149
00:06:30,480 --> 00:06:33,560
Speaker 6: let's not put down everyday working class people in the process,

150
00:06:33,600 --> 00:06:37,719
Speaker 6: and us entertainers. We need to stop over inflating our worth. Okay,

151
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 6: we are not essential and if those everyday working class

152
00:06:40,640 --> 00:06:43,279
Speaker 6: people don't support us, we don't have careers.

153
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 2: Right, no, right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
