Speaker 1: Mourning.
Speaker 2: Everybody is DJ n V Charlemagne the God. We are
Speaker 2: the Breakfast Club. We got our guest co host, Kim
Speaker 2: Whitley head joining us. Now, if you're just joining us,
Speaker 2: we're talking about Ebony k Williams. She talked about she
Speaker 2: would never date a bus driver, and then she doubled
Speaker 2: down and said this.
Speaker 3: I only saw a handful that even considered the possibility
Speaker 3: of a bus owner being a more aspirational position. Now,
Speaker 3: I suspect that some of y'all are the same men
Speaker 3: that were bringing home c's and d's on your report cards,
Speaker 3: only to then be coddled by parents that said, well,
Speaker 3: that's okay as long as you're doing your best. Well, listen,
Speaker 3: I love and believe in the excellence of black men.
Speaker 3: So no, my dear c's and d's or any other
Speaker 3: form of mediocrity is not okay. But could it be
Speaker 3: that black America has been sold a narrative of average,
Speaker 3: regular and typical being good enough for us? Well, see,
Speaker 3: that's called white supremacy.
Speaker 2: So we're taking your phone calls this morning. What's your thoughts?
Speaker 1: Hell her? Who's this?
Speaker 3: Hi?
Speaker 2: My name is j Nay.
Speaker 4: I'm tining some Detroit.
Speaker 1: Shirley, name him what Mama.
Speaker 5: I definitely feel like this is the reason why she's single.
Speaker 6: I feel like, if the person is putting God first,
Speaker 6: is loving you unconditionally, why should the occupation matter?
Speaker 4: Because she want to go to dinner somewhere I guess expensive,
Speaker 4: and you know women are like who paying?
Speaker 5: So I'm with him, like me and my husband.
Speaker 3: We get out here, we work harrd.
Speaker 4: You know, I have I fears praying to him.
Speaker 5: He has too. He's but he loves God first, and
Speaker 5: he loves me and my kids. So long as he's
Speaker 5: somebody and meeting all I needs.
Speaker 6: Get out here and do what you need to do
Speaker 6: to get out.
Speaker 5: Of here, and hustle and make sure that your family
Speaker 5: is doing you know, you're taking care of your family.
Speaker 6: But that's probably why she sings her now.
Speaker 4: So yeah, all right, thank there's some good advertisement for
Speaker 4: I'm telling you, we just said her name so many
Speaker 4: times this morning, several times.
Speaker 2: But you know, you know what I maybe think about
Speaker 2: it too, is the people that support Ebony, that watch
Speaker 2: her shows, that watch her own reality shows, that watch
Speaker 2: her new judge show. Those are quote unquote.
Speaker 6: The average average, Those average people you're talking about the
Speaker 6: everyday working class are who you want to support your podcast.
Speaker 4: You don't want them to turn away from you because
Speaker 4: it's gonna go down, gonna go dowsh Right.
Speaker 1: Hello, who's this Hi? It's Rachel Rachel.
Speaker 2: Good morning, talk to us. Rachel, what do you think
Speaker 2: about Emny K Williams comments?
Speaker 5: Good morning? I myself am attended for all the many
Speaker 5: students that I've educated who have become bus drivers, plumbers, electricians.
Speaker 5: She needs to retract her comment and make it more personal. Yeah,
Speaker 5: she's a millionaire and she prefers to date one. She
Speaker 5: should say that, but she should not pluck down about
Speaker 5: men who are out there working hard normal quote unquote
Speaker 5: normal job. But I'm more offended about it. He's and
Speaker 5: D's comments right, educating students ninety nine and I am
Speaker 5: a mother and that is so disrespectful. Yeah, there are
Speaker 5: children out here who can only get a seat. Do
Speaker 5: you know why?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 6: Learning learning disabilities? I said learning disabilities, but it also
Speaker 6: a systemic bias and education.

Speaker 5: There's a good bias.
Speaker 7: My kids are taking a New York to Day mouth esterday.
Speaker 7: They're not ready for it, right, because it's a bias. Yes,

Speaker 7: I'm rich.
Speaker 1: Good morning, rich, good morning, good morning son. Now you
Speaker 1: agree with.
Speaker 2: Me, you agree with Abney Kate Williams.
Speaker 1: I bet that she could have worded that better. But
Speaker 1: at the same tour game. All right, So I was
Speaker 1: I was a trash worker for twenty years, right and
Speaker 1: they and they made us out here. I started my
Speaker 1: own company with my wife from I saw the home
Speaker 1: companies this then. But there's nothing wrong with being a
Speaker 1: trash worker. Nobody aspire us to be a trash worker,
Speaker 1: you see what I'm saying. So we have to do so,
Speaker 1: you know, our parents have to do better, to push
Speaker 1: us to do better. You know, although we we are
Speaker 1: sex workers, we we are needed out here, we are necessary,
Speaker 1: but we're not looking. We'll always look down upon.
Speaker 2: No, you're not.
Speaker 6: No, you're not not not in New York Because when
Speaker 6: that trash start piling up the front, where is the
Speaker 6: sanitation workers?
Speaker 1: Yeah, where a pick.
Speaker 3: Up the work.
Speaker 1: But I'm gonna put up. I'm gonna put a thude
Speaker 1: like this, we are we all want this when we
Speaker 1: are needed, but when we aren't needed, they don't. They
Speaker 1: don't want to look at us like that.
Speaker 2: But that's the y y'all, you're always needed. I can't
Speaker 2: think of the time that y'are not needed.
Speaker 6: Never.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's changed. I think that might have
Speaker 4: been twenty years ago. I tried to holler at my
Speaker 4: uh my trash worker. He was so fine he got
Speaker 4: off that truck. I was like, wait a minute, I.
Speaker 2: Said, how you doing? Let me help you with that
Speaker 2: bad I canna lie. I mean, I appreciate all the
Speaker 2: sanitation under all of them. Sometimes when you block the streets,
Speaker 2: sometimes we can't get by. But other than that, I
Speaker 2: appreciate you got that's right, that's right. What's the biler story.
Speaker 6: That the moral of the story is that everyday working
Speaker 6: class people are not average, they're not mediocre, they're not typical.
Speaker 6: And it's the level of eliticism in those words that
Speaker 6: I don't like. And you know, Ebany is the homie.
Speaker 6: She's entitled her preference. She can date whoever she wants
Speaker 6: to date, she can have whatever standard she wants. Well,
Speaker 6: let's not put down everyday working class people in the process,
Speaker 6: and us entertainers. We need to stop over inflating our worth. Okay,
Speaker 6: we are not essential and if those everyday working class
Speaker 6: people don't support us, we don't have careers.
Speaker 2: Right, no, right, it's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
