And then at the same time, 487 00:24:44,280 --> 00:24:47,359 Speaker 1: you know, the way we treat celebts sometimes can be like, 488 00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,439 Speaker 1: come fix this issue for us because you made an 489 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:53,440 Speaker 1: album alike, and that's also weird.

Carry all right's get to the next episode. 503 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:33,800 Speaker 1: We had episode twenty four eighty one, which was the pandemic. 504 00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:40,760 Speaker 5: Oh Appia says, a robodog might be a little creepy, 505 00:25:40,800 --> 00:25:42,920 Speaker 5: but at least it can give cod It can't give 506 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,800 Speaker 5: COVID to this homeless people, and like a cop, especially 507 00:25:45,800 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 5: an unvaccinated one. 508 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,240 Speaker 1: That's true, That's what my thinking was. But you know, 509 00:25:50,400 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: Karen set me straight. 510 00:25:52,119 --> 00:25:55,040 Speaker 4: Appia says, here, I I didn't have a third out 511 00:25:55,040 --> 00:25:56,959 Speaker 4: open because I went to the extreme. I was like, no, 512 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:58,760 Speaker 4: this was not in here, this is this, this is 513 00:25:58,800 --> 00:26:00,840 Speaker 4: goes double with bad. I understand. 514 00:26:00,840 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 3: The intentions are good. You're right, it can't get your COVID. 515 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:05,479 Speaker 4: It can't make you sick or anything like that. But 516 00:26:05,520 --> 00:26:08,080 Speaker 4: it's like, once you go down that road, they're not 517 00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 4: going to stop, and eventually it's going to get to 518 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:12,480 Speaker 4: the point where they're gonna be like, instead of having 519 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:14,879 Speaker 4: a police skip feed upside the head, we'll send these 520 00:26:15,119 --> 00:26:17,480 Speaker 4: these drunk these dog drones out here. 521 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 3: They can chase you down and track and shit. 522 00:26:20,240 --> 00:26:22,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, you know, as through the magic of 523 00:26:23,200 --> 00:26:27,040 Speaker 1: time travel, we'll see this episode. Kar was absolutely right 524 00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:31,080 Speaker 1: about that shit. So you know, it's not much. I 525 00:26:31,119 --> 00:26:33,800 Speaker 1: could say I was that dead wrong, but you know, 526 00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: I was kind of I was on happy a side, 527 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:38,840 Speaker 1: which is like and I think the reason I felt 528 00:26:38,840 --> 00:26:40,440 Speaker 1: the way I felt is because I feel like cops 529 00:26:40,440 --> 00:26:44,199 Speaker 1: are so dangerous in so many cases that it's like 530 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,720 Speaker 1: a robot dog probably less dangerous than a cop in 531 00:26:48,760 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 1: my opinion, but I guess a cop may is still 532 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:51,760 Speaker 1: controlling it, you know. 533 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 4: So they take the technology and they will use the 534 00:26:56,359 --> 00:27:00,119 Speaker 4: technology to benefit them. This is a leadway in to 535 00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:03,200 Speaker 4: oh now we don't have to deplore nobody or anything 536 00:27:03,280 --> 00:27:05,160 Speaker 4: like that. We could send these out here and they 537 00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 4: can taste them and beat them up and all that 538 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:10,240 Speaker 4: shit like it's it's actually less manpower for us. 539 00:27:10,720 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: Yeah. And if I'm gonna get tased or beaten by 540 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:16,439 Speaker 1: a cop, I prefer the up close, you know, customer service. 541 00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:19,679 Speaker 1: I want that customer service, you know. I want the 542 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:21,960 Speaker 1: value at the service of looking in your eyes when 543 00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 1: you beat me with that night stick. AI also says 544 00:27:26,119 --> 00:27:29,440 Speaker 1: here where mostly everyone is white and the anti acts 545 00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:34,120 Speaker 1: people look exactly like the same people, being white isn't 546 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,359 Speaker 1: something special here. My point isn't that it's mostly white country. 547 00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,760 Speaker 1: It's something we should want. It would be the opposite 548 00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:42,560 Speaker 1: of the good. It's just how it is here. Yeah, yeah, 549 00:27:42,600 --> 00:27:45,000 Speaker 1: at least here here A lot of times I see 550 00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,800 Speaker 1: like a white dude with no mask. I'm like, I'm 551 00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:51,919 Speaker 1: making assumptions that I feel are protecting myself By'm not interacting. 552 00:27:52,800 --> 00:27:57,320 Speaker 1: But if everybody was the same color or mostly the 553 00:27:57,359 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: same color, and uh yeah, then it might be different, 554 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,200 Speaker 1: different dynamics than what you know how I handle shit. Agreed, 555 00:28:05,840 --> 00:28:09,919 Speaker 1: lou Luna says the Honeywell employee twitter post is really fascinating. 556 00:28:10,359 --> 00:28:13,040 Speaker 1: Oh dah, that lady who got that woman who got 557 00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 1: I believe got fired. I maybe lost her job behind 558 00:28:16,359 --> 00:28:18,960 Speaker 1: that that post. 559 00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:20,760 Speaker 3: And that would make sense. You know, no matter how 560 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 3: people feel, you just can't do that. Like, I'm sorry, y'all. 561 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,840 Speaker 3: You know, is it right? 562 00:28:28,560 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 4: You know they have parts and procedures. You can't be 563 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 4: out here talking about because a lot of people do shit. 564 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:36,159 Speaker 4: Did they at their job? Did they know if they 565 00:28:36,200 --> 00:28:38,280 Speaker 4: publicly said something they will lose their jobs? 566 00:28:39,040 --> 00:28:42,200 Speaker 1: Her mentioning that tweeting about this is personally risky is 567 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,800 Speaker 1: so strange. When assessing the risk to do something about 568 00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: pay disparity, This person prefer making a public tweet rather 569 00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:50,720 Speaker 1: than internally disclosing to pay range more directly to an 570 00:28:50,760 --> 00:28:53,040 Speaker 1: actual person who could have benefited from their knowledge about 571 00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: the salary. Both are both are risky, but I think 572 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 1: disclosing it could have gotten closer to what she thinks 573 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,400 Speaker 1: she was trying to achieve with the tweet. 574 00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:02,800 Speaker 2: Yeah, it's also that thing. 575 00:29:02,600 --> 00:29:09,480 Speaker 1: Where like, I don't maybe like the kindest version of 576 00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:13,920 Speaker 1: this is that she was trying to help somebody. She 577 00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:17,200 Speaker 1: was like, probably had her hands tied around helping that 578 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:20,080 Speaker 1: specific person in that interview. I would imagine that's against 579 00:29:20,160 --> 00:29:24,160 Speaker 1: policy that makes sense, And instead she went, I'm gonna 580 00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:26,480 Speaker 1: give an alue to the world, give them all this 581 00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:29,680 Speaker 1: knowledge that they don't have, and then they can see 582 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:33,680 Speaker 1: what it's like, you know. And that's the kindest way, 583 00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:35,880 Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying, Like, I can't help this person, 584 00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:37,959 Speaker 1: but I can pass the knowledge on to help other people. 585 00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,880 Speaker 1: But I don't know. It's just it was so easy 586 00:29:42,880 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: to see how this was backfire. It's just really an 587 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: error lapse in judgment. 588 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:49,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, and also as a company, you put them in 589 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:52,480 Speaker 4: a bad situation because this is a real person that 590 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 4: she's talking about, and from the company's perspective they can 591 00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 4: go find out because they know everybody came in there 592 00:29:58,600 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 4: and they was like, no, bitch, you gonna call some 593 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 4: motherfucking lawsuit to get out of here. 594 00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:04,640 Speaker 2: Yeah, and your government name is on it, right. 595 00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,479 Speaker 1: But it sadly makes sense why she didn't disclose when 596 00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:09,520 Speaker 1: it comes and by the way, that was the kindest telling. 597 00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:12,800 Speaker 1: I still personally still feel. 598 00:30:12,520 --> 00:30:14,719 Speaker 2: Like it's not one hundred percent altruistic. 599 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,480 Speaker 1: I think she has this hustle on the side as 600 00:30:17,560 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: like a business advisor career advisor person, and this was 601 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:24,120 Speaker 1: a way to promote that. And it was a bad 602 00:30:24,280 --> 00:30:28,720 Speaker 1: decision because at the end of the day, you trying 603 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,200 Speaker 1: to promote yourself on the side cast you your main gig, 604 00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:34,040 Speaker 1: you know. But it sadly makes sense that she didn't 605 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:35,840 Speaker 1: disclose when it comes to her tweeting and wanted to 606 00:30:35,840 --> 00:30:38,360 Speaker 1: instill worth and hashtag be confident. This person is clearly 607 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,640 Speaker 1: putting the onus on individual responsibility, which blames those that 608 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,200 Speaker 1: have been socialized to expect less. I wouldn't assume that 609 00:30:44,240 --> 00:30:47,080 Speaker 1: people ask for asking for eighty five k K is 610 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:50,280 Speaker 1: necessarily lacking in confidence or self worth. They may just 611 00:30:50,400 --> 00:30:53,600 Speaker 1: not know or eighty five K is to them a 612 00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: confident ask, I wonder about the choice to instill worth 613 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,880 Speaker 1: and hashtag confidence into the void for the faceless future 614 00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:03,680 Speaker 1: interviewee that maybe Mike could perhaps come across her tweet 615 00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,760 Speaker 1: as as if that is an actionable thing to do. 616 00:31:07,240 --> 00:31:09,479 Speaker 1: She clearly feels that the policy is wrong, but that 617 00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:13,720 Speaker 1: isn't off Twitter less public more long term internal matter 618 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 1: that can be dealt with. 619 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:18,400 Speaker 4: The honeywell right and those other things that a lot 620 00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:20,680 Speaker 4: of people online fail to understand. The shit, a lot 621 00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 4: of shit that y'all want done. You can't snap your 622 00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:25,880 Speaker 4: fingers in an instant. It is a slow moving process, 623 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 4: and Twitter is not made for slow and actually moving. 624 00:31:30,040 --> 00:31:32,240 Speaker 4: A lot of them they want everything quick and fast, 625 00:31:32,920 --> 00:31:37,920 Speaker 4: and they won't, you know, they want it to move 626 00:31:38,080 --> 00:31:41,240 Speaker 4: quickly because as far as their concern a quick solution 627 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 4: means at least them out of work for them, And 628 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,680 Speaker 4: you're not really solving anything because you know, just on 629 00:31:45,720 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 4: Twitter in general, a lot of those quick fast shit, 630 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,200 Speaker 4: they're not trying to solve anything. They're like, what can 631 00:31:51,240 --> 00:31:52,800 Speaker 4: I do and what can I say to make me 632 00:31:52,840 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 4: feel better, to make me look better, to make me 633 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:55,760 Speaker 4: appear better? 634 00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:56,760 Speaker 3: What can I do? 635 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,880 Speaker 4: You know to get the most retweets and all those 636 00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,680 Speaker 4: types of things. They're not actually thinking about the longevity 637 00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:07,040 Speaker 4: of anything because it's about this. And then, like I 638 00:32:07,080 --> 00:32:09,240 Speaker 4: tell Roger, every time something happened to people lose their mind, 639 00:32:09,240 --> 00:32:11,200 Speaker 4: I was like, yeah, y'all be talking about this until 640 00:32:11,200 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 4: another black person dies.

It's just hard, like you're 726 00:35:51,800 --> 00:35:55,920 Speaker 1: allowing so much up to interpretation. And maybe if I 727 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 1: saw a video there might be a way while reading 728 00:35:58,160 --> 00:36:01,000 Speaker 1: oh she's I think she's a mistake aching, But she 729 00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,840 Speaker 1: really just did this to help this to help people, 730 00:36:04,440 --> 00:36:06,759 Speaker 1: because she couldn't in the way that we want her 731 00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:08,440 Speaker 1: to help her, which is just like reach across. Well, 732 00:36:08,480 --> 00:36:10,480 Speaker 1: it was a virtual interview. She don't know the person's race. 733 00:36:10,600 --> 00:36:13,759 Speaker 1: I don't think she's but like the way we thought 734 00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:16,120 Speaker 1: of helping her is in our minds, we've constructed a 735 00:36:16,200 --> 00:36:19,160 Speaker 1: whole fiction of like it was a person a person interview. 736 00:36:19,640 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: She could have wrote it on her sheet of papers 737 00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:24,800 Speaker 1: slid it across the table, but that's clearly not what happened. 738 00:36:25,880 --> 00:36:28,440 Speaker 2: And in my mind, you know the way it read. 739 00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: When I first read it, I did go, well, that's 740 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:32,960 Speaker 1: what you get trying to fuck around and make an 741 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:35,440 Speaker 1: example out of somebody. And you know, I think a 742 00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:37,920 Speaker 1: lot of people feel that way. Maybe, but you know, 743 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:38,960 Speaker 1: maybe she meant it that way. 744 00:36:38,960 --> 00:36:41,279 Speaker 2: I don't know. DV says, Oh, go ahead, I'm sorry. 745 00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:42,920 Speaker 3: No, I'm just saying agreed. 746 00:36:43,960 --> 00:36:46,000 Speaker 1: When Jenna said she forgave Justin and wants people to 747 00:36:46,040 --> 00:36:48,840 Speaker 1: leave him alone, I literally yelled at my TV no. Lol. 748 00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,480 Speaker 1: But honestly, I don't hate Justin Timberlake, nor how I 749 00:36:51,480 --> 00:36:53,759 Speaker 1: ever posted anything about him on the Internet. What I 750 00:36:53,800 --> 00:36:55,759 Speaker 1: did hate was the injustice and the objects of the 751 00:36:55,760 --> 00:36:58,440 Speaker 1: whole situation that she took the brunt of the consequences, 752 00:36:58,680 --> 00:37:01,000 Speaker 1: a black woman being punished while the white guy basically 753 00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:04,439 Speaker 1: gets off scott free. I think that probably was what 754 00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:07,239 Speaker 1: most people feel. I don't think people actually hate him. 755 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: Well except for Britney Fast, they really hate him. Petty 756 00:37:10,880 --> 00:37:13,120 Speaker 1: white people can hold on a grudge hard to anyone. 757 00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,239 Speaker 4: I know. Shit. 758 00:37:14,440 --> 00:37:17,400 Speaker 1: I think it's funny because even Brittany did the like, 759 00:37:17,480 --> 00:37:21,960 Speaker 1: can y'all please forgive Justine her documentary? I just think 760 00:37:22,040 --> 00:37:24,520 Speaker 1: people like having judge grudges. It makes them feel powerful 761 00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 1: and it doesn't matter what the reasons are that they 762 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:34,800 Speaker 1: don't want to let them go, likequish. 763 00:37:32,040 --> 00:37:34,160 Speaker 4: Power, which means you have to move on, and you 764 00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:34,920 Speaker 4: don't want to move on. 765 00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:37,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, the celebrities are an excuse for us to pretend 766 00:37:37,200 --> 00:37:39,400 Speaker 1: like we're protecting somebody so we can be heroes. 767 00:37:39,440 --> 00:37:40,319 Speaker 2: And if we're gonna be. 768 00:37:40,320 --> 00:37:42,879 Speaker 1: Heroes, then there have to be villains. And if there's 769 00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:45,640 Speaker 1: gonna be villains, then you know, why not justin Timberlake? 770 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:46,200 Speaker 1: Why you know? 771 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:46,520 Speaker 4: So? 772 00:37:46,600 --> 00:37:50,200 Speaker 1: I think you know that's It says a lot about 773 00:37:50,239 --> 00:37:53,560 Speaker 1: people When the folks that you claim to be protecting 774 00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 1: say I don't want this type of protection. It feels 775 00:37:56,600 --> 00:38:00,359 Speaker 1: like harassment and it's gone too far and then you go, nah, 776 00:38:00,440 --> 00:38:02,799 Speaker 1: fuck that. That that does say something about you. And 777 00:38:02,840 --> 00:38:04,880 Speaker 1: I think everyone should have to own up. You should 778 00:38:04,920 --> 00:38:06,480 Speaker 1: have to own that. That's not that you have to 779 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:09,239 Speaker 1: stop holding the grudge. You have to own it. That's 780 00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,560 Speaker 1: your grudge.

But that ain't the kind 789 00:38:34,800 --> 00:38:39,520 Speaker 1: of protection of the support that I was asking for. So yeah, 790 00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,560 Speaker 1: I still haven't watched that Jennet Jackson documentary. 791 00:38:42,920 --> 00:38:44,399 Speaker 4: But I haven't either. 792 00:38:44,440 --> 00:38:45,480 Speaker 3: I don't know if I will. 793 00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:48,000 Speaker 4: I was thinking about it, but if I do, it'll 794 00:38:48,040 --> 00:38:50,440 Speaker 4: be I think it's really old and nobody talking about 795 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 4: that makes sense. 796 00:38:52,280 --> 00:38:56,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just uh, I think I just never got 797 00:38:56,560 --> 00:38:59,719 Speaker 1: caught up too much in that whole thing. And you know, 798 00:38:59,840 --> 00:39:03,319 Speaker 1: my personal belief is like she pulled a titty out 799 00:39:03,360 --> 00:39:05,839 Speaker 1: on purpose. It was provocative, it was on brand. I 800 00:39:05,880 --> 00:39:09,120 Speaker 1: wanted to see them titties. I really don't get, you know, 801 00:39:09,280 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 1: how it turned into what it turned into, you know, 802 00:39:12,560 --> 00:39:14,719 Speaker 1: or she just was never supposed to work again and shit, 803 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:17,359 Speaker 1: like I feel, I don't know, it feels like one 804 00:39:17,360 --> 00:39:19,160 Speaker 1: of those things, or like if Madonna did it, it'd 805 00:39:19,160 --> 00:39:23,040 Speaker 1: just be like the iconic crazy moment. But of course, 806 00:39:23,200 --> 00:39:25,760 Speaker 1: because she did it, it was just ridiculous or whatever. 807 00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:27,840 Speaker 1: But I've been wanting to see them titties my whole life, 808 00:39:27,880 --> 00:39:32,000 Speaker 1: So I guess maybe I'm biased, but you know, but 809 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:33,920 Speaker 1: I think and I think Justin was in on it. 810 00:39:33,960 --> 00:39:35,840 Speaker 1: I think they kind of knew what was going to happen, 811 00:39:35,960 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 1: or if he wasn't in on it, then he got 812 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:41,040 Speaker 1: played and somebody knew what was gonna happen. I mean, 813 00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:45,160 Speaker 1: I don't think it was a malfunction, and you know, 814 00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:47,279 Speaker 1: I have no evidence of that. I just that's just 815 00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:51,840 Speaker 1: what I believe. Anyway, the pole should that recruiter have 816 00:39:51,920 --> 00:39:54,000 Speaker 1: been fired from her job for a Facebook post? Yes, 817 00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:57,000 Speaker 1: she messed up too bad, No, but she should have 818 00:39:57,040 --> 00:39:59,439 Speaker 1: been reprimanded, Or no, she didn't do anything wrong. 819 00:39:59,560 --> 00:40:06,440 Speaker 4: Care I think she yeah, you know, you know, it's 820 00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:10,080 Speaker 4: one of those things where for a company the from 821 00:40:10,120 --> 00:40:13,919 Speaker 4: this the HR perspective, you could have went either way. 822 00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:16,120 Speaker 4: But I think yes, just for the fact that you 823 00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:18,080 Speaker 4: set us up for a lawsuit and whatever that lawsuit 824 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:20,960 Speaker 4: is gonna be way more of your salary and so 825 00:40:21,640 --> 00:40:24,960 Speaker 4: we actually in the net negative dealing with this. So 826 00:40:24,960 --> 00:40:27,000 Speaker 4: it's cheaper to let you go because if we keep 827 00:40:27,040 --> 00:40:28,759 Speaker 4: you and we have a lawsuit.

I could see them doing that type of 988 00:48:04,960 --> 00:48:07,960 Speaker 4: thing and charge you a fee for that. But yeah, 989 00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:10,000 Speaker 4: I think it will continue to still be for free, 990 00:48:10,400 --> 00:48:14,120 Speaker 4: but trust you're gonna get somebody gonna put some commercial 991 00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:15,040 Speaker 4: in front of them eyes. 992 00:48:15,239 --> 00:48:17,440 Speaker 1: And it's only been on that for a couple of days, 993 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,000 Speaker 1: but I already the last two words was hardest hell 994 00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:25,719 Speaker 1: for me, So I'm already struggling. So I'm like, uh, 995 00:48:25,920 --> 00:48:27,600 Speaker 1: the next step is putting my hor to pay a 996 00:48:27,640 --> 00:48:31,560 Speaker 1: while because this word kicked my ass today. But I 997 00:48:31,600 --> 00:48:34,239 Speaker 1: still I still post it even though I miss I 998 00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:37,840 Speaker 1: missed it for the first time and ship forever I 999 00:48:37,880 --> 00:48:42,080 Speaker 1: still posted it because it's never been about showing everybody 1000 00:48:42,120 --> 00:48:44,000 Speaker 1: I'm the smartest nigga in the world.

It just feels weird that there's people 1005 00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:57,600 Speaker 1: that do it the other way. But whatever. 1006 00:48:58,200 --> 00:48:59,960 Speaker 4: And then also it's one of those things to you all, 1007 00:49:00,040 --> 00:49:02,000 Speaker 4: so talking about the people do the crossword posts and 1008 00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:02,640 Speaker 4: shit like that. 1009 00:49:03,040 --> 00:49:04,239 Speaker 3: So a lot of them noting fun. 1010 00:49:04,239 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 4: They're gonna be smarter, art people, and I mean in 1011 00:49:06,080 --> 00:49:08,160 Speaker 4: a bad way, like they're gonna a lot of the 1012 00:49:08,239 --> 00:49:10,800 Speaker 4: words might actually be a little bit more challenging. I 1013 00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:13,000 Speaker 4: don't know if challenging is the right word to say it, 1014 00:49:13,040 --> 00:49:15,160 Speaker 4: but you know might have to you know, make you 1015 00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,560 Speaker 4: think because it's a word thing.

I just learned about the Fight movie that 1060 00:51:17,360 --> 00:51:21,600 Speaker 1: you just learned about. I don't listen to Joe Rogan 1061 00:51:21,840 --> 00:51:24,840 Speaker 1: so much suspicious masculinity. He is way too short of 1062 00:51:24,920 --> 00:51:28,000 Speaker 1: himself and doesn't reflect enough. I tried a few episodes, 1063 00:51:28,040 --> 00:51:33,200 Speaker 1: but no, Yeah, it's so interesting because like it's just 1064 00:51:33,239 --> 00:51:36,239 Speaker 1: cash twenty two of saying like I'm just talking, we 1065 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:40,200 Speaker 1: can't just talk. But they're never really talking without the confidence, 1066 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:43,400 Speaker 1: like they're talking with authority. They're never like, I'm just 1067 00:51:43,480 --> 00:51:47,040 Speaker 1: asking questions, but the questions are very like skeptical and 1068 00:51:47,080 --> 00:51:52,000 Speaker 1: misleading and misinformative, and having people on there that are 1069 00:51:52,040 --> 00:51:53,160 Speaker 1: full of misinformation. 1070 00:51:53,560 --> 00:51:55,840 Speaker 2: And then suddenly it's not skeptical enough. 1071 00:51:56,000 --> 00:51:56,200 Speaker 1: You know. 1072 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:57,680 Speaker 2: It's this thing. 1073 00:51:57,600 --> 00:52:01,439 Speaker 1: Like I love Larry Willmore podcast Black on the Air, 1074 00:52:02,280 --> 00:52:05,440 Speaker 1: but like he has w Camal Bell come on there 1075 00:52:05,480 --> 00:52:08,040 Speaker 1: and talk about, you know, defunding the police. Like, the 1076 00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:11,280 Speaker 1: questions are very skeptical, The questions are very like pointed. 1077 00:52:11,400 --> 00:52:15,600 Speaker 1: The questions were very almost confrontational on stuff to a 1078 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:16,200 Speaker 1: certain extent. 1079 00:52:16,280 --> 00:52:17,719 Speaker 2: And I'm not knocking that. 1080 00:52:18,040 --> 00:52:19,839 Speaker 1: Hey, if you're gonna give a tough interview, I think 1081 00:52:19,840 --> 00:52:23,480 Speaker 1: it's fine, especially if it's something like policing. You know, 1082 00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:25,479 Speaker 1: you give a tough interview. If it was someone telling 1083 00:52:25,480 --> 00:52:28,120 Speaker 1: you the police know everything, everything's fine, you'd be like, nah, 1084 00:52:28,400 --> 00:52:32,280 Speaker 1: I got some questions.

It's 1100 00:53:10,760 --> 00:53:13,319 Speaker 1: not possible for any of us to be that unbiased 1101 00:53:14,040 --> 00:53:16,959 Speaker 1: that we're just asking questions. Are the shit comes out 1102 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,399 Speaker 1: in what we say and you know the way people listen. 1103 00:53:20,480 --> 00:53:22,479 Speaker 1: Of course that's affected by bias too, but. 1104 00:53:22,719 --> 00:53:25,239 Speaker 2: It all comes out, you know, yes, sir. 1105 00:53:25,800 --> 00:53:27,799 Speaker 1: So It's like if you have doctor os on there 1106 00:53:27,880 --> 00:53:30,000 Speaker 1: tell you about or doctor one of them doctors.

Sorry because I think doctor Oz might be 1109 00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:38,320 Speaker 1: a quack because I don't remember, but doctor Sanjay Guta 1110 00:53:38,400 --> 00:53:41,200 Speaker 1: might go on there and break down like some very real, serious, 1111 00:53:41,560 --> 00:53:45,279 Speaker 1: factually based coronavirus shit having some other dude, and then 1112 00:53:45,280 --> 00:53:47,759 Speaker 1: you're gonna ask him questions. You're gonna be skeptical, you're 1113 00:53:47,800 --> 00:53:50,560 Speaker 1: gonna bring up all these other things when you then 1114 00:53:50,600 --> 00:53:53,439 Speaker 1: turn around and have somebody to some misinformation expert on there, 1115 00:53:53,640 --> 00:53:56,279 Speaker 1: and you're not backing it up with well, hold on now, 1116 00:53:56,440 --> 00:54:00,640 Speaker 1: the facts say this. You're not being UnBias, You're being 1117 00:54:00,719 --> 00:54:02,600 Speaker 1: You're telling us exactly what you want us to believe. 1118 00:54:04,200 --> 00:54:06,840 Speaker 1: Sounds tasty, says when immigrants came to this country historically, 1119 00:54:06,840 --> 00:54:09,440 Speaker 1: there are encouraged to force, slash force to assimilate into 1120 00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:13,120 Speaker 1: American culture. There's no problem when that is white culture, 1121 00:54:13,400 --> 00:54:15,920 Speaker 1: but when someone picks up a part of black culture, 1122 00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:19,279 Speaker 1: it then becomes a problem. Yeah, I just says a 1123 00:54:19,320 --> 00:54:23,440 Speaker 1: good point, and yet I don't. I don't. I just 1124 00:54:23,800 --> 00:54:26,040 Speaker 1: I'm just not one of these niggas. I'm not going 1125 00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:29,280 Speaker 1: to have a problem with this. And it's just it's fine. 1126 00:54:29,480 --> 00:54:31,600 Speaker 1: It's just how I feel about it. I think I 1127 00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:34,200 Speaker 1: have more of a problem when they say or do 1128 00:54:34,320 --> 00:54:39,000 Speaker 1: disrespectful shit to the culture then then use it and 1129 00:54:39,040 --> 00:54:41,280 Speaker 1: then drop it like you know, kind of like Mighty 1130 00:54:41,360 --> 00:54:45,719 Speaker 1: Cyrus did. But I think there's a level of suspicion 1131 00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:49,440 Speaker 1: and contempt that happens because there's some jealousy. We don't 1132 00:54:49,520 --> 00:54:52,479 Speaker 1: like that.

I think this is 1179 00:57:13,320 --> 00:57:17,680 Speaker 1: a very specific thing that Black Americans are struggling with, 1180 00:57:17,800 --> 00:57:18,160 Speaker 1: you know. 1181 00:57:18,800 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 4: Yes, and they always have and honestly they always will. 1182 00:57:24,080 --> 00:57:27,560 Speaker 3: And you know, eventually you have to make a choice 1183 00:57:27,600 --> 00:57:27,920 Speaker 3: on this. 1184 00:57:28,360 --> 00:57:30,000 Speaker 4: You have to say I'm just gonna be mad all 1185 00:57:30,040 --> 00:57:32,400 Speaker 4: the time, or you got to be like, bitch, I 1186 00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:35,800 Speaker 4: have a limited amount of capacity to deal with this, 1187 00:57:36,240 --> 00:57:39,160 Speaker 4: and everything can't be a motherfucking ten. Sometimes it's a 1188 00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:41,520 Speaker 4: goddamn one and I got to keep it moving. I 1189 00:57:41,560 --> 00:57:44,600 Speaker 4: will never get shit done if I'm constantly mad at 1190 00:57:44,680 --> 00:57:48,640 Speaker 4: everybody and everyone and everything. I can't do it. It's 1191 00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:51,480 Speaker 4: in possible. I don't have the energy, nor do I 1192 00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:54,720 Speaker 4: have the bandwidth. And everybody picks and chooses where those 1193 00:57:54,840 --> 00:57:55,680 Speaker 4: lines are. 1194 00:57:56,120 --> 00:58:00,600 Speaker 1: You know, I think, go ahead, you go ahead, No prime. 1195 00:58:00,480 --> 00:58:02,200 Speaker 4: As far as that personal our concern, And it's just 1196 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:04,800 Speaker 4: one of those things where I think for a lot 1197 00:58:04,840 --> 00:58:07,760 Speaker 4: of black people, it is a struggle. It is upsetting 1198 00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:12,400 Speaker 4: when you be like, well, I've been here. My people 1199 00:58:12,440 --> 00:58:15,560 Speaker 4: were stolen from a land, brought here. We were treated 1200 00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:20,240 Speaker 4: like shit. We quote unquote just recently got free. And 1201 00:58:20,600 --> 00:58:22,440 Speaker 4: I can't get along the bank. I can't do this, 1202 00:58:22,560 --> 00:58:24,360 Speaker 4: I can't do that. And yet you have these other 1203 00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,560 Speaker 4: people that come in and because of their quote unquote proximity, 1204 00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:31,360 Speaker 4: the whiteness can just glaze over and go past me. Yes, 1205 00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:33,560 Speaker 4: I could see people being mad and upset, like like 1206 00:58:33,560 --> 00:58:35,560 Speaker 4: like the anger is valid. I'm not saying the anger 1207 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,000 Speaker 4: is the valid The anger is valid, But at the 1208 00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,880 Speaker 4: same time, the problem isn't the individuals. 1209 00:58:41,880 --> 00:58:43,120 Speaker 3: The problem is the system. 1210 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:47,840 Speaker 1: I think. Also, just I hold black culture a lot 1211 00:58:47,920 --> 00:58:51,360 Speaker 1: higher esteem than some folks, like I see it as 1212 00:58:51,360 --> 00:58:55,880 Speaker 1: a as a as powerful. I see it as the 1213 00:58:56,320 --> 00:59:01,280 Speaker 1: probably the most powerful for US America has put out, 1214 00:59:01,560 --> 00:59:05,840 Speaker 1: like probably even more so than the military, Like you know, 1215 00:59:05,960 --> 00:59:08,320 Speaker 1: because you have to look at Black culture is something 1216 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:11,400 Speaker 1: they tried to squash down from within. Like it's like 1217 00:59:11,480 --> 00:59:14,360 Speaker 1: it took everything for this culture to leak out of 1218 00:59:14,640 --> 00:59:18,360 Speaker 1: this cage that it was put in, and it's infectious 1219 00:59:18,400 --> 00:59:22,520 Speaker 1: and it affects everything, and it's more powerful than some 1220 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,400 Speaker 1: of the There's been so many movements organized around keeping 1221 00:59:27,240 --> 00:59:30,120 Speaker 1: black culture away from people, and they can't stop it 1222 00:59:30,160 --> 00:59:34,080 Speaker 1: because we're just that fucking iconic and cool. And so 1223 00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:37,800 Speaker 1: I do not feel shocked. I do not feel violated 1224 00:59:38,320 --> 00:59:40,880 Speaker 1: by someone being affected by our culture. I feel like 1225 00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,160 Speaker 1: it's only a matter of time to live affects every 1226 00:59:43,240 --> 00:59:47,640 Speaker 1: fucking body because our shit is that dope.

Rod, 1313 01:03:45,360 --> 01:03:47,280 Speaker 1: wish you both much success. I have a comment about 1314 01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:49,840 Speaker 1: the aquaphina portion of the episode. I'm a bit torn 1315 01:03:49,880 --> 01:03:52,760 Speaker 1: on the situation Internet trolls and overly aggressive people aside. 1316 01:03:52,800 --> 01:03:54,600 Speaker 1: I think how black culture has been treated in the 1317 01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:57,560 Speaker 1: past plays an important part on why certain actions rubbed 1318 01:03:57,560 --> 01:03:59,360 Speaker 1: many Black people the wrong way. I think it's a 1319 01:03:59,360 --> 01:04:02,439 Speaker 1: bit unfair, act like everyone is overreacting. Not too long ago, 1320 01:04:02,760 --> 01:04:05,160 Speaker 1: black people who spoke using the same vernacular were seen 1321 01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:07,959 Speaker 1: as ghetto, ratchet and uneducated. Actually, it is still seen 1322 01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:11,000 Speaker 1: that way by many, so I can see how a 1323 01:04:11,040 --> 01:04:13,960 Speaker 1: non black person being accepted and getting opportunities being used 1324 01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:15,920 Speaker 1: to say vernacular rubs Black people wrong. 1325 01:04:16,640 --> 01:04:18,040 Speaker 2: It seems like whenever. 1326 01:04:17,720 --> 01:04:21,600 Speaker 1: People do something cultural, it is wrong, ghetto, uneducated, professional, 1327 01:04:21,560 --> 01:04:24,640 Speaker 1: et cetera. Until someone non black does it's such as 1328 01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:29,320 Speaker 1: Broderick Braids, bo Derek Braids. Okay, was it not the 1329 01:04:29,440 --> 01:04:31,840 Speaker 1: NBA that made a big deal by black basketball players 1330 01:04:31,880 --> 01:04:35,080 Speaker 1: wearing cornrows and dressing to hip hop? Thus they implemented 1331 01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:38,280 Speaker 1: a dress code based on said part of black culture. 1332 01:04:38,680 --> 01:04:41,160 Speaker 1: I can see how that could rub black black player 1333 01:04:41,240 --> 01:04:44,600 Speaker 1: the wrong way. Similarly, we only have been how only 1334 01:04:44,720 --> 01:04:47,240 Speaker 1: have now been able to wear cultural black hairstyles as 1335 01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:49,920 Speaker 1: women without backlash? Well shit, the men too in the 1336 01:04:50,000 --> 01:04:57,480 Speaker 1: NBA now where all kinds of creative styles and I'm sorry, 1337 01:04:57,520 --> 01:04:59,520 Speaker 1: yeah they have more, but if you would like to 1338 01:04:59,680 --> 01:05:01,640 Speaker 1: dress that before I move on to the next point. 1339 01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:03,960 Speaker 4: Okay, Yeah, and this goes back to what we talked 1340 01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:07,640 Speaker 4: about before. I understand it's the system. Like everything you 1341 01:05:07,680 --> 01:05:10,160 Speaker 4: talk about boils down to the system in white supremacy. 1342 01:05:10,360 --> 01:05:13,480 Speaker 4: That's all it boils down to. And we feel a 1343 01:05:13,480 --> 01:05:16,280 Speaker 4: way about those people because they're benefiting from a system, 1344 01:05:16,480 --> 01:05:20,160 Speaker 4: a systematic thing. So the anger is valid, you know. 1345 01:05:20,600 --> 01:05:25,720 Speaker 4: And it's one of those things where until the system 1346 01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:28,240 Speaker 4: is addressed, you're gonna continue to be angry, You're gonna 1347 01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,120 Speaker 4: continue to be mad, you will continue to be upset, 1348 01:05:30,120 --> 01:05:32,560 Speaker 4: which is very valid. But people have to pick and 1349 01:05:32,600 --> 01:05:35,600 Speaker 4: choose what they're angry about and what they are angry about. 1350 01:05:36,400 --> 01:05:39,800 Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm still and I still call it bullshit because, 1351 01:05:39,840 --> 01:05:44,200 Speaker 1: like I said, we've had We've even had Asian men 1352 01:05:44,440 --> 01:05:47,200 Speaker 1: rappers and Asian men do like hip hop stuff. This 1353 01:05:47,360 --> 01:05:50,840 Speaker 1: is a movie last year about an Asian dude street 1354 01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:56,200 Speaker 1: basketball player we've had fresh off the boat. It's a 1355 01:05:56,360 --> 01:06:00,880 Speaker 1: very specific thing that is dripping in misogyny to me 1356 01:06:01,080 --> 01:06:04,240 Speaker 1: that I can't unsee, and it's not fair and it's 1357 01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:07,320 Speaker 1: not consistent. And so I don't think it's about like 1358 01:06:08,120 --> 01:06:11,120 Speaker 1: just our envy, because we don't take that out on anybody, 1359 01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:14,240 Speaker 1: but the women that do this right, it's j Lo 1360 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,120 Speaker 1: said the N word. These other niggas grew up, you know, 1361 01:06:17,280 --> 01:06:20,200 Speaker 1: saying this shit all the time, rap about it. There's 1362 01:06:20,200 --> 01:06:22,480 Speaker 1: a bunch of people outside of New York City that 1363 01:06:22,560 --> 01:06:24,360 Speaker 1: don't come from the culture of New York City that 1364 01:06:24,680 --> 01:06:27,000 Speaker 1: Fat Joe and Big Pun we're saying the N word, 1365 01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:30,120 Speaker 1: and we were like, I guess nobody cares. So it's fun, 1366 01:06:30,360 --> 01:06:32,240 Speaker 1: you know, But it's like, once you get on the 1367 01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:36,280 Speaker 1: internet social media, we can, in my opinion, overreact. I 1368 01:06:36,320 --> 01:06:40,320 Speaker 1: do think it's an overreaction and it's a very specific 1369 01:06:40,360 --> 01:06:43,800 Speaker 1: overreaction to one woman, and it is not consistent on 1370 01:06:43,840 --> 01:06:46,000 Speaker 1: that side, even if before I get to this next 1371 01:06:46,000 --> 01:06:49,680 Speaker 1: point you're about to make, it's not even consistent on 1372 01:06:49,720 --> 01:06:51,800 Speaker 1: that side. The fact that we let these dudes get 1373 01:06:51,800 --> 01:06:54,720 Speaker 1: away with it tells me everything about this that that 1374 01:06:54,840 --> 01:06:57,760 Speaker 1: is not really a truly a It's like I think 1375 01:06:57,920 --> 01:06:59,960 Speaker 1: sometimes we do it because we think here's a person 1376 01:07:00,080 --> 01:07:03,400 Speaker 1: and we can punish, Yes, like here's a person that 1377 01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:05,840 Speaker 1: we do expect to give a fuck. It's why people 1378 01:07:05,840 --> 01:07:08,440 Speaker 1: went in on Ellen. But doctor Field's a fucking racist 1379 01:07:08,840 --> 01:07:11,000 Speaker 1: and runs his shit even worse than her. And he's 1380 01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,040 Speaker 1: gonna be fine because he's a dude. 1381 01:07:13,360 --> 01:07:15,440 Speaker 4: And he's not making headline and it's not the top 1382 01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:17,360 Speaker 4: of the story. Ain't nobody talking about how much piece 1383 01:07:17,360 --> 01:07:18,800 Speaker 4: of shit he is and nobody talk about it. 1384 01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:19,720 Speaker 3: He shouldn't have a show. 1385 01:07:19,880 --> 01:07:22,400 Speaker 1: And mostly the most important thing that I think is 1386 01:07:22,440 --> 01:07:26,080 Speaker 1: missing in this first paragraph is all of that shit 1387 01:07:26,720 --> 01:07:30,160 Speaker 1: was wrong. It was wrong when they were like you 1388 01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,959 Speaker 1: can't have corn rows, it was wrong, Like my world 1389 01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:35,040 Speaker 1: isn't to be like black people were done wrong, so 1390 01:07:35,600 --> 01:07:38,120 Speaker 1: now let's do other people wrong in the name of blackness. 1391 01:07:38,240 --> 01:07:39,560 Speaker 2: No, that was wrong. 1392 01:07:39,720 --> 01:07:43,760 Speaker 1: You're not. And it's also not true that black people 1393 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:48,320 Speaker 1: weren't able to profit and utilize these things to make money. That, 1394 01:07:48,400 --> 01:07:50,840 Speaker 1: if anything, that was a period of time where people 1395 01:07:50,880 --> 01:07:53,560 Speaker 1: felt tighte cast where it's like, you know, you go 1396 01:07:53,920 --> 01:07:55,800 Speaker 1: acting on a set and they're like, can you corn 1397 01:07:55,840 --> 01:07:58,000 Speaker 1: row your head? Can you act ghetto? Can you do 1398 01:07:58,040 --> 01:08:03,000 Speaker 1: it blacker? So like, it's not like Hollywood wasn't It's 1399 01:08:03,040 --> 01:08:05,000 Speaker 1: only Hollywood was looking at this shit and being like, 1400 01:08:05,040 --> 01:08:07,040 Speaker 1: we definitely don't want no corn row niggas in here 1401 01:08:07,040 --> 01:08:12,720 Speaker 1: playing criminals. Like it's a complicated thing. But it's not 1402 01:08:13,160 --> 01:08:16,200 Speaker 1: like we also feel a way about when we're successful 1403 01:08:16,240 --> 01:08:19,280 Speaker 1: that way, you know, we feel a way when what 1404 01:08:19,760 --> 01:08:22,120 Speaker 1: black people ourselves feel a way about the way we 1405 01:08:22,240 --> 01:08:24,639 Speaker 1: talk and look and stuff. And it's all, as Karen 1406 01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,240 Speaker 1: said over and over at this point, it's very systemic. 1407 01:08:27,280 --> 01:08:31,320 Speaker 1: It's not Once we start focusing on one or two individuals, 1408 01:08:31,439 --> 01:08:34,439 Speaker 1: it might make us feel better that we're able to 1409 01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:37,599 Speaker 1: like get in on it, but but it doesn't fix 1410 01:08:37,680 --> 01:08:40,599 Speaker 1: the problem. And I don't think it's I just don't 1411 01:08:40,600 --> 01:08:43,479 Speaker 1: think it's real. I'm not even saying like I don't 1412 01:08:43,720 --> 01:08:46,280 Speaker 1: like I just it just does. It feels like a 1413 01:08:46,360 --> 01:08:50,559 Speaker 1: convenient misdirection. But back to this, I do not know 1414 01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:53,080 Speaker 1: if Wu Tang Clan are the Last Dragon really mocked 1415 01:08:53,120 --> 01:08:56,040 Speaker 1: some Asian cultures. Granted I'm not agent, I dot it. 1416 01:08:55,960 --> 01:08:56,599 Speaker 2: Was the intent. 1417 01:08:57,200 --> 01:08:59,439 Speaker 1: Wu Tang Clan took their name from a kung fu 1418 01:08:59,520 --> 01:09:02,760 Speaker 1: movie Dragon didn't do any foe Asian vernacular that I remember, Well, 1419 01:09:02,800 --> 01:09:06,280 Speaker 1: then you have a terrible fucking memory. They absolutely did. 1420 01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,880 Speaker 1: Bruce le Roy. The fact that you're not even just 1421 01:09:09,960 --> 01:09:13,320 Speaker 1: laughing hearing that name, it's ridiculous. But Bruce le Roy 1422 01:09:13,600 --> 01:09:18,200 Speaker 1: definitely talks in that like kind of uh, the the 1423 01:09:18,200 --> 01:09:23,799 Speaker 1: the Asian accent from the Kung Fu movies. He speaks 1424 01:09:23,800 --> 01:09:26,840 Speaker 1: in all the Asian collocialisms and the and the stereotypical 1425 01:09:26,960 --> 01:09:28,240 Speaker 1: like fortune cookie phrases. 1426 01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:30,880 Speaker 2: There's songs. 1427 01:09:30,920 --> 01:09:34,160 Speaker 1: There's a song in that going like Chucky Chocky Hot 1428 01:09:34,240 --> 01:09:38,240 Speaker 1: Chocky Sue socking to me out socket to you. There's 1429 01:09:38,439 --> 01:09:44,000 Speaker 1: there's three Asian dudes that you know are like hip 1430 01:09:44,080 --> 01:09:46,600 Speaker 1: hop or like they they fuck with hip hop and 1431 01:09:46,640 --> 01:09:50,680 Speaker 1: black people, but they call Bruce Lever all kinds of 1432 01:09:50,720 --> 01:09:53,320 Speaker 1: stereotype names and ship while they speaking these like kind 1433 01:09:53,320 --> 01:09:58,160 Speaker 1: of broken English accents and ship And to me, I 1434 01:09:58,160 --> 01:10:01,000 Speaker 1: don't think it's a problem because we're black and we 1435 01:10:01,080 --> 01:10:05,040 Speaker 1: already go, well, no, that's cause those Asian dudes are 1436 01:10:05,200 --> 01:10:06,280 Speaker 1: laughing at him. 1437 01:10:06,240 --> 01:10:07,559 Speaker 2: Because he is kind of weird. 1438 01:10:07,680 --> 01:10:10,680 Speaker 1: But he thinks he's paying playing homage to him, but 1439 01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:15,040 Speaker 1: not really. And it's funny it's not. We don't allow 1440 01:10:15,240 --> 01:10:19,000 Speaker 1: that past. The other way is my point. The fact 1441 01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:22,439 Speaker 1: that you're even being like this is cool. It's like, 1442 01:10:22,760 --> 01:10:24,559 Speaker 1: I don't think they mean it bad. I don't think 1443 01:10:24,560 --> 01:10:26,720 Speaker 1: Aquafina woke up and mean it bad. I don't think 1444 01:10:26,920 --> 01:10:31,600 Speaker 1: right like, this is a we'll have another one of 1445 01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:34,040 Speaker 1: these people to write in letter. But you need you 1446 01:10:34,160 --> 01:10:38,000 Speaker 1: haven't shown me that she's mocking us with this. You're 1447 01:10:38,040 --> 01:10:41,559 Speaker 1: assuming it and you're just saying it like a fact. 1448 01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:43,920 Speaker 1: Like but then when you talk about Wu Tang, you're like, no, 1449 01:10:43,960 --> 01:10:47,000 Speaker 1: they have a reverence for the culture, so they had 1450 01:10:47,040 --> 01:10:50,719 Speaker 1: to call him because keep in mind, what they're saying 1451 01:10:50,760 --> 01:10:53,120 Speaker 1: is listen, Asian people have a reverence for hip hop culture. 1452 01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:57,760 Speaker 1: That's fine, but don't call yourself anything dealing with hip hop. 1453 01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,519 Speaker 1: Don't spell nothing that way, don't talk the way we talk, 1454 01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:03,479 Speaker 1: don't rap like us, don't do this. Okay, cool, that 1455 01:11:03,640 --> 01:11:06,720 Speaker 1: is not the rule. The other way, it's like these 1456 01:11:06,800 --> 01:11:10,879 Speaker 1: niggas was out here putting out putting out video game. 1457 01:11:10,800 --> 01:11:11,880 Speaker 2: Kung fu fighting shit. 1458 01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:15,400 Speaker 1: These motherfuckers out here making whole movies bringing up Bruce 1459 01:11:15,479 --> 01:11:19,400 Speaker 1: Lee in the montage and shit like it just don't 1460 01:11:19,400 --> 01:11:21,920 Speaker 1: flow that way. And I think we're not being honest 1461 01:11:21,920 --> 01:11:25,640 Speaker 1: when we pretend that it does. Many Black people love 1462 01:11:25,680 --> 01:11:27,560 Speaker 1: parts of Asian culture such as martial ours anime, and 1463 01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:29,400 Speaker 1: most times I've seen it used, it is not in 1464 01:11:29,439 --> 01:11:31,960 Speaker 1: a disrespectful way, but in a way to pay homage 1465 01:11:32,200 --> 01:11:35,640 Speaker 1: or show support, not if any of it considered. Now, 1466 01:11:35,680 --> 01:11:37,800 Speaker 1: if any of us considered dispectful by agents, then I 1467 01:11:37,840 --> 01:11:40,800 Speaker 1: accept that and won't argue otherwise. It is their right 1468 01:11:40,880 --> 01:11:44,000 Speaker 1: and they need not justify ws something is offensive to them. Right. 1469 01:11:44,120 --> 01:11:47,280 Speaker 1: I think that part right there is the part I 1470 01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:52,200 Speaker 1: find to be the bullshit, because I don't think people 1471 01:11:52,200 --> 01:11:55,599 Speaker 1: believe that. It's like when Beyonce dressed in that cold 1472 01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:58,360 Speaker 1: Play or cold Play one of those videos is she 1473 01:11:58,439 --> 01:12:01,439 Speaker 1: dressed in Southeast Asian and there were Southeast Asian people 1474 01:12:01,479 --> 01:12:03,000 Speaker 1: on social media that had a problem with it, and 1475 01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:07,160 Speaker 1: everybody went to shut the fuck up. Black people, white people, everybody, 1476 01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:10,120 Speaker 1: shut the fuck up, she can do it. They wouldn't 1477 01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:12,240 Speaker 1: found a They found the Southeast Asian people that was 1478 01:12:12,280 --> 01:12:14,600 Speaker 1: cool with it and was like, they don't got a problem. 1479 01:12:14,800 --> 01:12:17,680 Speaker 1: So no, it's not like this is a fiction that 1480 01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:22,120 Speaker 1: people are spinning to make it sound like like, nah, 1481 01:12:22,120 --> 01:12:24,880 Speaker 1: we're very reasonable about this. We're not being reasonable. We're 1482 01:12:24,880 --> 01:12:27,600 Speaker 1: definitely having a double standard. I wish people just acknowledge that. 1483 01:12:27,640 --> 01:12:29,599 Speaker 1: You don't even have to like the same. 1484 01:12:29,720 --> 01:12:31,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yes, a double standard. 1485 01:12:31,840 --> 01:12:34,720 Speaker 4: And you know the women in the hollin and there, 1486 01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:37,200 Speaker 4: justifying is just word salad. 1487 01:12:37,720 --> 01:12:45,040 Speaker 1: Yeah so yeah that and and also I don't think, uh, like, 1488 01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:47,439 Speaker 1: this is the thing I learned from conflict is not abused. 1489 01:12:48,160 --> 01:12:52,640 Speaker 1: A group of people being offended isn't justification in itself. 1490 01:12:52,960 --> 01:12:54,800 Speaker 1: It has to be deeper than that, like, and that 1491 01:12:54,880 --> 01:12:59,160 Speaker 1: doesn't mean like dismissed everybody that's offended. It's just like 1492 01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:02,320 Speaker 1: how people claim to be offended by critical race theory. 1493 01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:06,240 Speaker 1: That's not enough. Explain that. And if you go, we 1494 01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:08,840 Speaker 1: shouldn't even they shouldn't even have to explain it, Fuck you, 1495 01:13:09,080 --> 01:13:11,799 Speaker 1: Yes they should. Because we're humans and we're not psychic. 1496 01:13:12,439 --> 01:13:15,200 Speaker 1: Sometimes you need to explain the shit. And and a 1497 01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:17,479 Speaker 1: lot of times when you have rules that way, these 1498 01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:21,080 Speaker 1: these these blanket rules, you cover up a lot of 1499 01:13:21,479 --> 01:13:24,720 Speaker 1: power dynamics that allow people to be abusive because they go, 1500 01:13:24,800 --> 01:13:30,280 Speaker 1: I don't have to explain it, Well, you're now affecting 1501 01:13:30,320 --> 01:13:32,599 Speaker 1: this other person and stuff. Yeah, I don't I don't 1502 01:13:32,640 --> 01:13:34,280 Speaker 1: feel like I just want to have all the power 1503 01:13:34,320 --> 01:13:36,840 Speaker 1: in the situation and nobody to understand what I'm doing 1504 01:13:36,880 --> 01:13:38,840 Speaker 1: with it. Nah fuck that And if you can't use 1505 01:13:38,840 --> 01:13:43,360 Speaker 1: your words, then you're not ready for this discussion. Now, 1506 01:13:43,439 --> 01:13:45,479 Speaker 1: da da da Okay. So, yet with black people are 1507 01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:47,840 Speaker 1: often given the same consideration. We always have to explain 1508 01:13:47,880 --> 01:13:50,479 Speaker 1: why something is offensive and often receive pushback on why 1509 01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:54,200 Speaker 1: we are wrong to be offended. We do that to 1510 01:13:54,520 --> 01:13:56,640 Speaker 1: we do that to each other. Though that's not just 1511 01:13:57,920 --> 01:14:00,880 Speaker 1: okay sure as for a K pop there has even 1512 01:14:00,960 --> 01:14:03,919 Speaker 1: been many issues with anti black racisms, such as blackface. 1513 01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,400 Speaker 1: Luckily they have started to address this. I do not 1514 01:14:06,479 --> 01:14:08,679 Speaker 1: believe black people have done this. I could be wrong, 1515 01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:11,439 Speaker 1: but it's not fair or accurate to dismiss concorr as 1516 01:14:11,439 --> 01:14:13,920 Speaker 1: a black people have whenever no black people participate in 1517 01:14:13,920 --> 01:14:17,760 Speaker 1: black culture. I was going to say that, well it's 1518 01:14:17,800 --> 01:14:19,679 Speaker 1: not but see that's the thing. Once again, you're paying 1519 01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:21,479 Speaker 1: with a bride brush. You're writing me and Karen, So 1520 01:14:21,520 --> 01:14:24,880 Speaker 1: you heard what we said. We're not dismissing all black people. 1521 01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:29,240 Speaker 1: We're not dismissing anytime someone comes within the culture. This 1522 01:14:29,280 --> 01:14:32,080 Speaker 1: aquafina thing always gets out of control. Because of so 1523 01:14:32,160 --> 01:14:36,880 Speaker 1: many assumptions being made. We're specifically saying this woman proved 1524 01:14:36,920 --> 01:14:42,240 Speaker 1: the case. That's it. We brought up Miley Cyrus, Justin Timberlake, 1525 01:14:42,439 --> 01:14:45,439 Speaker 1: justin Bieber like people that have literally said fucked up 1526 01:14:45,479 --> 01:14:49,000 Speaker 1: things about hip hop. Justin Timberlake gets caught saying the 1527 01:14:49,160 --> 01:14:52,960 Speaker 1: N word, singing it in a song on a camera. 1528 01:14:53,880 --> 01:14:57,320 Speaker 1: Miley Cyrus says hip hop is disrespectful, blah blah blah, 1529 01:14:57,720 --> 01:15:00,000 Speaker 1: right after she got done with her album about hip hop. 1530 01:15:00,520 --> 01:15:04,120 Speaker 1: You know, Justin Timberlake kind of goes back to his 1531 01:15:04,240 --> 01:15:07,960 Speaker 1: roots after the whole Janet Jackson soaka, which I have 1532 01:15:08,080 --> 01:15:09,800 Speaker 1: less issue with him than general, but you know what 1533 01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,439 Speaker 1: I mean, Like, there's a level of like, Okay, I 1534 01:15:12,439 --> 01:15:17,360 Speaker 1: can see where people feel this way and where these 1535 01:15:17,360 --> 01:15:22,000 Speaker 1: people have done things specifically anti black, anti black culture 1536 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:24,040 Speaker 1: to be like and this is why. 1537 01:15:24,640 --> 01:15:27,960 Speaker 4: But I'm to the conclusion, as you're reading this letter, 1538 01:15:28,760 --> 01:15:31,519 Speaker 4: this isn't directed at us. This is director about the 1539 01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:33,960 Speaker 4: people that you've been talking about and arguing on line 1540 01:15:34,000 --> 01:15:36,200 Speaker 4: with this this. You've heard what we had to say, 1541 01:15:36,439 --> 01:15:39,240 Speaker 4: so you know how we feel about it. This isn't 1542 01:15:39,240 --> 01:15:41,600 Speaker 4: actually a letter for us. This is you writing to 1543 01:15:41,680 --> 01:15:45,400 Speaker 4: those people, and baby they are they're not listening black like, 1544 01:15:45,400 --> 01:15:46,120 Speaker 4: like the people. 1545 01:15:45,920 --> 01:15:48,000 Speaker 3: That you actually want to hear what you have to say, 1546 01:15:48,520 --> 01:15:49,080 Speaker 3: the people that. 1547 01:15:49,080 --> 01:15:52,040 Speaker 4: Dismissed you online, those people, they're not hearing it. 1548 01:15:52,080 --> 01:15:54,280 Speaker 3: So this letter actually is not at us. 1549 01:15:54,320 --> 01:15:56,519 Speaker 4: This letter is at them because we basically are re 1550 01:15:56,560 --> 01:15:58,920 Speaker 4: explaining things that we've already said, because, like I said, 1551 01:15:59,040 --> 01:16:00,600 Speaker 4: you know how we feel about all this. 1552 01:16:00,880 --> 01:16:03,559 Speaker 3: The word salad is not for us, it's for other people. 1553 01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:07,439 Speaker 1: Yeah, and even with the K pop shit, the point 1554 01:16:07,560 --> 01:16:10,840 Speaker 1: one is mostly dudes that get the past. I'm not 1555 01:16:10,880 --> 01:16:15,559 Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna keep bringing it up forever. But it's 1556 01:16:15,600 --> 01:16:18,080 Speaker 1: also very interesting with the K pop shit. The only 1557 01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:20,439 Speaker 1: reason that y'all okay with is because you let yourself 1558 01:16:20,479 --> 01:16:23,320 Speaker 1: be okay with it up front. You don't make them 1559 01:16:23,360 --> 01:16:26,599 Speaker 1: prove anything, you know what I mean? The fact that 1560 01:16:26,600 --> 01:16:29,040 Speaker 1: they're like, yeah, they had some anti black, they had 1561 01:16:29,120 --> 01:16:31,040 Speaker 1: some black face, but they're working on it. What the 1562 01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:33,680 Speaker 1: fuck does that mean? Who would you allow that? For? 1563 01:16:34,439 --> 01:16:38,000 Speaker 1: What other group of what that should be? According to you? 1564 01:16:38,040 --> 01:16:41,200 Speaker 1: The zero tolerance that the time for black people to react. 1565 01:16:41,200 --> 01:16:44,200 Speaker 1: Why are we being hurt? It just don't matter their dudes, 1566 01:16:44,240 --> 01:16:48,240 Speaker 1: and it don't matter. It just feels very it feels 1567 01:16:48,400 --> 01:16:51,200 Speaker 1: very cherry picking. But Okay, I was gonna say more 1568 01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:55,800 Speaker 1: about the luckily they have started. Luckily they've started to 1569 01:16:55,800 --> 01:16:58,840 Speaker 1: address black face. Okay, thank you, Wow, I appreciate you. 1570 01:16:59,439 --> 01:17:01,240 Speaker 1: I do not believe black people have done this. I 1571 01:17:01,240 --> 01:17:03,360 Speaker 1: could be wrong, blah blah. Well, black people have done it. 1572 01:17:03,400 --> 01:17:06,360 Speaker 1: And the last dragon is a lot of cultural black face, 1573 01:17:06,479 --> 01:17:09,160 Speaker 1: I mean or yellow face. I don't even know what 1574 01:17:09,160 --> 01:17:10,800 Speaker 1: the right term is, but is a lot of that, 1575 01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:14,040 Speaker 1: A lot of it. Even the fucking shogun of Harlem 1576 01:17:14,200 --> 01:17:18,360 Speaker 1: is a goddamn I mean, if if it's the real 1577 01:17:18,479 --> 01:17:21,080 Speaker 1: truth of this shit is that in America, black people 1578 01:17:21,080 --> 01:17:23,840 Speaker 1: have been so injured by what has happened to us. 1579 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:28,000 Speaker 1: We don't have the luxury or the benefit of saying 1580 01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:30,800 Speaker 1: I think their heart was in the right place. That's 1581 01:17:30,840 --> 01:17:34,840 Speaker 1: really what it is. And and we don't and we 1582 01:17:34,880 --> 01:17:41,599 Speaker 1: don't granted to women ever. And then for the other 1583 01:17:41,640 --> 01:17:45,559 Speaker 1: way around with Asian people at the model minority, myth 1584 01:17:45,640 --> 01:17:48,599 Speaker 1: thing has kind of given them a confidence I believe 1585 01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:53,320 Speaker 1: to say they probably mean well, like I'm not offended, 1586 01:17:53,439 --> 01:17:55,840 Speaker 1: like oh that's kind of cool, Like Wu Tang likes 1587 01:17:56,080 --> 01:17:59,200 Speaker 1: Asian culture cool, and so they're not They're not coming 1588 01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:02,519 Speaker 1: with the same any of disenfranchisement that we do. Like 1589 01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:06,240 Speaker 1: we're coming with that energy of like hey, hey, hey, 1590 01:18:06,040 --> 01:18:09,160 Speaker 1: watch step, you know. And I think other cultures because 1591 01:18:09,160 --> 01:18:14,479 Speaker 1: they haven't necessarily had the same traumas as us, not 1592 01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:16,120 Speaker 1: that they haven't had trauma, but they haven't had the 1593 01:18:16,160 --> 01:18:19,439 Speaker 1: same traumas. I think it allows them to be a 1594 01:18:19,439 --> 01:18:21,640 Speaker 1: little more like, well, yeah, this is my culture, and 1595 01:18:21,680 --> 01:18:24,000 Speaker 1: I'm opening the door to you and stuff. I mean, 1596 01:18:24,040 --> 01:18:26,439 Speaker 1: black people in America fight with black people from outside 1597 01:18:26,439 --> 01:18:30,760 Speaker 1: of America about culture like it's a very it's I 1598 01:18:30,800 --> 01:18:33,880 Speaker 1: think we've become territorial because we've just been hurt so 1599 01:18:33,960 --> 01:18:38,280 Speaker 1: many times. I was gonna say more about the culture 1600 01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:40,719 Speaker 1: exchange between black coaches, but it would be too long. 1601 01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:43,840 Speaker 1: I do think there's too much backlash. I do not 1602 01:18:43,880 --> 01:18:45,680 Speaker 1: think there's too much backlash, but it may be due 1603 01:18:45,720 --> 01:18:49,120 Speaker 1: to collaborations happening. Just as an example, rappers collaborate with 1604 01:18:49,200 --> 01:18:52,840 Speaker 1: dance hall and afrobeat artists. Plus we share similar histories. Yeah, 1605 01:18:52,880 --> 01:18:54,760 Speaker 1: but you can catch those people arguing in the dash 1606 01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:56,160 Speaker 1: forwards every once in a while. 1607 01:18:55,960 --> 01:18:57,040 Speaker 4: Too, Yes, you do. 1608 01:18:57,160 --> 01:18:58,240 Speaker 3: They go at each other. 1609 01:18:58,360 --> 01:19:01,080 Speaker 1: Beyonce did that Black is King thing, and I still 1610 01:19:01,080 --> 01:19:05,880 Speaker 1: remember the month, months long of fights between stuff. 1611 01:19:05,960 --> 01:19:06,280 Speaker 2: I think. 1612 01:19:06,400 --> 01:19:11,080 Speaker 1: I think that's a good example of how it's about 1613 01:19:11,439 --> 01:19:14,800 Speaker 1: our culture not being validated here and then and then 1614 01:19:14,920 --> 01:19:17,360 Speaker 1: us reacting to that, but then we blaming it on 1615 01:19:17,360 --> 01:19:18,080 Speaker 1: the individual. 1616 01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:20,000 Speaker 2: And so seeing African people do that. 1617 01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:23,000 Speaker 1: To Beyonce, a lot of people were like, this isn't 1618 01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:25,400 Speaker 1: really fair because she didn't do that. She did do 1619 01:19:25,439 --> 01:19:27,000 Speaker 1: it right by a lot of people, a lot of 1620 01:19:27,040 --> 01:19:30,799 Speaker 1: people got paid, she respected the culture, all the stuff, 1621 01:19:30,800 --> 01:19:34,160 Speaker 1: and it just didn't matter to certain people because they 1622 01:19:34,200 --> 01:19:36,360 Speaker 1: want to be hurt. They want to make that point, 1623 01:19:37,120 --> 01:19:39,559 Speaker 1: and even when the case didn't, even when it didn't 1624 01:19:39,560 --> 01:19:42,320 Speaker 1: add up to what they actually said Beyonce did, it 1625 01:19:42,320 --> 01:19:44,960 Speaker 1: didn't matter to those people. I still remember no Name 1626 01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:50,559 Speaker 1: attacking Beyonce and being wrong proven wrong about it. So overall, 1627 01:19:50,600 --> 01:19:52,680 Speaker 1: I think culture exchange could be good, but people just 1628 01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:54,920 Speaker 1: need to be careful hours practice. You cannot judge black 1629 01:19:54,920 --> 01:19:56,960 Speaker 1: people too harshly. Given out black coach has been treated 1630 01:19:57,320 --> 01:20:01,400 Speaker 1: historically or up to fairly recently. Well, just for the record, 1631 01:20:01,439 --> 01:20:04,400 Speaker 1: I'm not judging black people too harshly. The whole step 1632 01:20:04,439 --> 01:20:06,840 Speaker 1: I've been like, I understand. I get it. I come 1633 01:20:06,880 --> 01:20:11,360 Speaker 1: from this, I can relate. I think it's that thing. 1634 01:20:11,400 --> 01:20:14,920 Speaker 1: I'll give you a good It's like you have a kid, 1635 01:20:15,080 --> 01:20:18,240 Speaker 1: or you have a loved one. You love them, right, 1636 01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:22,439 Speaker 1: you love them, But if they're handling something and you 1637 01:20:22,479 --> 01:20:24,479 Speaker 1: feel like this is the wrong way to handle it, 1638 01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:26,640 Speaker 1: you should still be able to be like, yeah, you 1639 01:20:26,680 --> 01:20:29,320 Speaker 1: shouldn't handled it that way. Or I think maybe you're 1640 01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:31,400 Speaker 1: going about this the wrong way, or maybe you're wasting 1641 01:20:31,439 --> 01:20:33,000 Speaker 1: your time with this, and look at that. 1642 01:20:33,880 --> 01:20:34,679 Speaker 2: I think that's fine. 1643 01:20:34,800 --> 01:20:36,800 Speaker 1: And that's exactly what I think we're doing here. I 1644 01:20:36,800 --> 01:20:38,280 Speaker 1: don't think any of us got on here but be 1645 01:20:38,280 --> 01:20:41,360 Speaker 1: like you niggas, Oh my god, here y'all go with 1646 01:20:41,439 --> 01:20:45,479 Speaker 1: the bullshit. Leave miss Aquafina alone. She ain't hurt nobody. Like, 1647 01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:49,719 Speaker 1: we're just being like, this is not that big a deal. 1648 01:20:49,880 --> 01:20:52,680 Speaker 1: And it's also if you want to examine it in 1649 01:20:52,720 --> 01:20:55,639 Speaker 1: a critical way, it's not really consistent. That's what we're saying, 1650 01:20:56,280 --> 01:20:59,040 Speaker 1: and I'm yeah, I don't think you've proven that we're 1651 01:20:59,080 --> 01:21:01,519 Speaker 1: consistent in this. I think that's the point that I'm 1652 01:21:01,560 --> 01:21:05,680 Speaker 1: pointing out, is the inconsistency, not the you know, not 1653 01:21:05,800 --> 01:21:08,240 Speaker 1: just the like y'all niggas always tripping. I'm like, no, 1654 01:21:08,320 --> 01:21:11,280 Speaker 1: this is not consistent. We definitely don't keep this energy 1655 01:21:11,280 --> 01:21:14,479 Speaker 1: for people anyway. In the case of black people, we 1656 01:21:14,520 --> 01:21:16,840 Speaker 1: can be persensitive at times because of our treatment. When 1657 01:21:16,840 --> 01:21:19,120 Speaker 1: you are accustomed to being disrespective of being anti culture 1658 01:21:19,120 --> 01:21:21,599 Speaker 1: to the dominant culture. Even with Black culture technically being 1659 01:21:21,600 --> 01:21:24,479 Speaker 1: the most popular, people already have a skewed perception. Personally, 1660 01:21:24,520 --> 01:21:26,360 Speaker 1: I don't care about the opopinite situation, but I get 1661 01:21:26,360 --> 01:21:28,800 Speaker 1: where it's coming from. Well, I think that's kind of 1662 01:21:28,800 --> 01:21:29,360 Speaker 1: some bullshit. 1663 01:21:29,400 --> 01:21:32,360 Speaker 4: My advice you do care because you didn't. You didn't 1664 01:21:32,360 --> 01:21:34,760 Speaker 4: write no eight page paragraph for somebody that don't care 1665 01:21:34,800 --> 01:21:35,160 Speaker 4: about it. 1666 01:21:35,200 --> 01:21:37,400 Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, yeah, you can't have it both way. 1667 01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:41,439 Speaker 1: It's come on now right, come on. Uh, I'll tell 1668 01:21:41,439 --> 01:21:42,880 Speaker 1: you why I care about it. I care about it 1669 01:21:42,880 --> 01:21:44,120 Speaker 1: because I care about black people. 1670 01:21:44,720 --> 01:21:45,240 Speaker 4: Mm hmmm. 1671 01:21:45,920 --> 01:21:49,480 Speaker 1: So I mean it's happening in our culture. Is a conversation. 1672 01:21:49,960 --> 01:21:52,000 Speaker 4: It's okay to care, like you know what I'm saying, 1673 01:21:52,080 --> 01:21:53,240 Speaker 4: Like it's okay. 1674 01:21:53,760 --> 01:21:56,280 Speaker 1: Uh, b Star says. Aquafina has a line in one 1675 01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:59,360 Speaker 1: of her songs saying you're badge is frightening, like Serena Williams. 1676 01:22:00,080 --> 01:22:03,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, I've seen that before out of context. 1677 01:22:03,120 --> 01:22:05,400 Speaker 1: And I love the way it's presented out of context, 1678 01:22:05,479 --> 01:22:08,200 Speaker 1: as if she was not supposed to be it was. 1679 01:22:08,280 --> 01:22:10,360 Speaker 1: It was based off of the song My Dick, where 1680 01:22:10,400 --> 01:22:13,640 Speaker 1: it's like my dick is this, and your dick is that, 1681 01:22:13,760 --> 01:22:15,920 Speaker 1: and so it's like a disc to other people's dicks, 1682 01:22:15,960 --> 01:22:17,680 Speaker 1: and like, my dick be doing this and your dick 1683 01:22:17,760 --> 01:22:21,320 Speaker 1: be doing that.

Yeah, you need it to be that way, 1691 01:22:39,600 --> 01:22:42,000 Speaker 1: you need so you can't be a hero unless she 1692 01:22:42,600 --> 01:22:45,240 Speaker 1: woke up one day and said I want to be racist. 1693 01:22:45,360 --> 01:22:48,160 Speaker 1: Not and also for the record, not even racist on 1694 01:22:48,280 --> 01:22:52,960 Speaker 1: some like black women, but racist to Serena Williams. Therefore 1695 01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:55,960 Speaker 1: all black women. Like, it's still taking steps to get 1696 01:22:55,960 --> 01:22:58,920 Speaker 1: to that point. So it's just like I said, it's 1697 01:22:58,960 --> 01:23:02,559 Speaker 1: just been interesting to see the reaction, and I don't 1698 01:23:02,560 --> 01:23:05,160 Speaker 1: feel like anyone's ever written something men that made me 1699 01:23:05,200 --> 01:23:08,559 Speaker 1: be like, Okay, I didn't think of that.

And I think that's really the part 1787 01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:19,920 Speaker 1: that bothers me, is that but we used to at 1788 01:27:20,000 --> 01:27:23,479 Speaker 1: least have an understanding of Like we see Jim Kelly 1789 01:27:23,520 --> 01:27:26,200 Speaker 1: and Bruce Lee in the same movie, and there's a 1790 01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:32,599 Speaker 1: level of like unity and love there that I guess 1791 01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:37,439 Speaker 1: now that we've gone to the internet and parting off 1792 01:27:37,479 --> 01:27:41,280 Speaker 1: our courting ourselves off from each other, it's more like 1793 01:27:41,320 --> 01:27:45,920 Speaker 1: a fight culturally than a exchange culturally. And while I 1794 01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,759 Speaker 1: kind of understood that with white people, I don't feel 1795 01:27:48,760 --> 01:27:51,719 Speaker 1: that way about other I don't feel that way about 1796 01:27:51,760 --> 01:27:55,320 Speaker 1: other cultures in that way. I'm I'm like, you know, 1797 01:27:55,520 --> 01:27:59,720 Speaker 1: I hope they parton some of our mis understandings and 1798 01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:02,280 Speaker 1: some of the people that do fucked up shit in 1799 01:28:02,320 --> 01:28:04,280 Speaker 1: the way that we can partner some of them and 1800 01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:07,519 Speaker 1: and and move on. I don't think it serves any 1801 01:28:07,560 --> 01:28:11,200 Speaker 1: of us to to hold this line, because the line 1802 01:28:11,240 --> 01:28:15,840 Speaker 1: is moving per person, and it's not fair. Uh, And 1803 01:28:15,880 --> 01:28:16,320 Speaker 1: a lot. 1804 01:28:16,200 --> 01:28:19,519 Speaker 4: Of it, and a lot of this is online, some 1805 01:28:19,560 --> 01:28:22,240 Speaker 4: of us offline, but most of the offline people that 1806 01:28:22,320 --> 01:28:24,639 Speaker 4: you talk to, their perspective is gonna be different because 1807 01:28:24,640 --> 01:28:27,920 Speaker 4: they're not impacted that like that, like sometimes when people 1808 01:28:28,080 --> 01:28:30,400 Speaker 4: talk or write any things like that, and and it's 1809 01:28:30,600 --> 01:28:32,840 Speaker 4: it's understandable because most of us and most of the 1810 01:28:32,880 --> 01:28:36,080 Speaker 4: audience are like online, online savvy, use at least one 1811 01:28:36,120 --> 01:28:38,040 Speaker 4: of the multiple social media platforms. 1812 01:28:38,160 --> 01:28:39,680 Speaker 3: You're gonna be impacted by it. 1813 01:28:39,760 --> 01:28:42,160 Speaker 4: And and particularly if you spend a long instance amount 1814 01:28:42,160 --> 01:28:44,360 Speaker 4: of time, those things would impact you, and those things 1815 01:28:44,400 --> 01:28:47,040 Speaker 4: would make you think that shit is very very very 1816 01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:49,280 Speaker 4: very important. But if you turn that bitch off and 1817 01:28:49,320 --> 01:28:51,720 Speaker 4: talk to somebody else like, yeah, I love that movie, 1818 01:28:51,720 --> 01:28:53,880 Speaker 4: wouldn't they find it? And they're gonna go down through 1819 01:28:53,920 --> 01:28:56,040 Speaker 4: all the jokes and they're not They're not gonna give 1820 01:28:56,040 --> 01:28:58,720 Speaker 4: a fuck about Akuafina. Some of the might not even 1821 01:28:58,760 --> 01:29:01,640 Speaker 4: know who she is side, you know, And so it's 1822 01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:04,120 Speaker 4: just one of those things where, you know, the the 1823 01:29:04,880 --> 01:29:09,080 Speaker 4: online reality in a real life reality, sometimes those circles 1824 01:29:09,080 --> 01:29:11,280 Speaker 4: crossed a lot of times they don't, y'all. 1825 01:29:11,600 --> 01:29:15,200 Speaker 1: Really it's interesting too because like, uh, there was a 1826 01:29:15,200 --> 01:29:17,000 Speaker 1: movement a while back to like we need to do 1827 01:29:17,080 --> 01:29:19,840 Speaker 1: another The Last Dragon and we can have Deon Cole 1828 01:29:19,880 --> 01:29:24,800 Speaker 1: play play play show nough.

Then I was making you. 1842 01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:03,120 Speaker 1: Roger says, uh oh, the part where it's like to me, 1843 01:30:03,200 --> 01:30:07,559 Speaker 1: it always sounds like it's but that's just the ship 1844 01:30:07,640 --> 01:30:10,200 Speaker 1: backwards and a bunch of people put that in there 1845 01:30:10,800 --> 01:30:12,800 Speaker 1: where they just typed it backwards because that's what it 1846 01:30:12,840 --> 01:30:16,400 Speaker 1: actually is.

And Google Maps 1870 01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:36,960 Speaker 1: is the app to use for walking in my opinion, 1871 01:31:37,000 --> 01:31:41,000 Speaker 1: But I'm an Android user, so I deeply appreciate you 1872 01:31:41,040 --> 01:31:44,600 Speaker 1: both caring to Rod and I guess she's aid she 1873 01:31:44,720 --> 01:31:46,160 Speaker 1: meant to put an emoji that was supposed to be 1874 01:31:46,200 --> 01:31:48,840 Speaker 1: a shrug emoji, but it looked I don't know what 1875 01:31:48,880 --> 01:31:49,559 Speaker 1: it turned out to be. 1876 01:31:52,840 --> 01:31:55,559 Speaker 4: And I've used Target's app, and Target's app is really 1877 01:31:55,560 --> 01:31:57,880 Speaker 4: really good, but I've used it here though I haven't 1878 01:31:57,920 --> 01:31:59,519 Speaker 4: used it there really bad. 1879 01:31:59,600 --> 01:32:02,559 Speaker 1: Hat Head says weep softly.

In fact, I think 2091 01:42:10,720 --> 01:42:15,080 Speaker 4: I'm gonna order me some wings today or tomorrow warning 2092 01:42:15,720 --> 01:42:23,360 Speaker 4: and cook me some wings and eat it here tomorrow 2093 01:42:23,439 --> 01:42:26,040 Speaker 4: for the game, because I just want some chicken things. 2094 01:42:26,080 --> 01:42:27,600 Speaker 4: I haven't had any chicken wangs in a while, and 2095 01:42:27,640 --> 01:42:28,080 Speaker 4: I want some. 2096 01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:32,240 Speaker 1: Yes, most of the time, no matter who does it. 2097 01:42:32,680 --> 01:42:38,000 Speaker 1: Eighty three percent compared to thirty seven percent on the 2098 01:42:38,040 --> 01:42:42,200 Speaker 1: Spotify pole. That's a huge difference. Yes, but only if 2099 01:42:42,200 --> 01:42:46,120 Speaker 1: it's a woman seventeen percent and on the Spotify pole 2100 01:42:46,400 --> 01:42:49,839 Speaker 1: twenty eight percent, So that's a huge difference. So most people, 2101 01:42:50,520 --> 01:42:51,320 Speaker 1: if it's a woman. 2102 01:42:51,520 --> 01:42:55,640 Speaker 4: That's the like, sure, bat, I guess you have a 2103 01:42:55,720 --> 01:42:59,960 Speaker 4: higher probability of getting everything uh yeah, that you want, 2104 01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:05,920 Speaker 4: which actually, which actually makes one hundred percent sense because 2105 01:43:06,479 --> 01:43:09,479 Speaker 4: a lot of most households women do the grocery shopping, 2106 01:43:09,880 --> 01:43:12,400 Speaker 4: you know, and do it like normal households. 2107 01:43:12,400 --> 01:43:14,200 Speaker 3: So it's one of those things where for. 2108 01:43:14,280 --> 01:43:16,760 Speaker 4: Men, not all of them, they get lazy and you 2109 01:43:16,800 --> 01:43:18,559 Speaker 4: know they don't be wanting to do you be like, 2110 01:43:18,640 --> 01:43:20,880 Speaker 4: come on now, I actually the specific thing and I 2111 01:43:20,920 --> 01:43:23,240 Speaker 4: know that this there. Don't be lazy when the shit 2112 01:43:23,320 --> 01:43:24,760 Speaker 4: right in front of you, you just don't want to take 2113 01:43:24,800 --> 01:43:25,920 Speaker 4: the time to read through it. 2114 01:43:26,360 --> 01:43:30,960 Speaker 1: And this poll both poles agree. Zero percent say yes, 2115 01:43:31,080 --> 01:43:34,920 Speaker 1: but only if it's a man. So maybe if you 2116 01:43:35,000 --> 01:43:37,599 Speaker 1: do instacart at lows, I don't know, but zero percent 2117 01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:40,040 Speaker 1: of people say when they see a man on that app, 2118 01:43:40,040 --> 01:43:43,200 Speaker 1: I'm gonna get my shit. And lastly, pretty much never 2119 01:43:43,320 --> 01:43:46,000 Speaker 1: thirty five percent of people pretty much never get that 2120 01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:51,040 Speaker 1: shit get all the items, and zero percent on our 2121 01:43:51,439 --> 01:43:53,920 Speaker 1: well zero percent on our website say they never get 2122 01:43:53,960 --> 01:43:58,679 Speaker 1: the items, and thirty five percent the other way. And 2123 01:43:58,880 --> 01:44:00,920 Speaker 1: the Q and A was thankful for the people who 2124 01:44:00,920 --> 01:44:03,200 Speaker 1: had words of affirmation for me even when I didn't 2125 01:44:03,200 --> 01:44:06,799 Speaker 1: have them for myself, which is something I said on Twitter, 2126 01:44:06,880 --> 01:44:11,640 Speaker 1: which I do mean.

I understand because I'm not Tychicus and you're 2151 01:45:27,560 --> 01:45:30,080 Speaker 4: constantly giving. But sometimes you have to look in the 2152 01:45:30,080 --> 01:45:32,800 Speaker 4: mirror and tell yourself that you are the shit and 2153 01:45:32,920 --> 01:45:36,400 Speaker 4: actually mean that. And actually because what I've realized is 2154 01:45:36,439 --> 01:45:39,000 Speaker 4: that even you know, being married and having a maid 2155 01:45:39,040 --> 01:45:41,760 Speaker 4: and things like that, there are sometimes where you have 2156 01:45:41,840 --> 01:45:44,280 Speaker 4: to be your own biggest chiliader sometimes because there's some 2157 01:45:44,360 --> 01:45:46,559 Speaker 4: things in life you have to walk along like you know, 2158 01:45:46,600 --> 01:45:49,040 Speaker 4: you just can't experience with your mate, and so you 2159 01:45:49,200 --> 01:45:52,320 Speaker 4: have to be your own biggest and loudest cheerlead in 2160 01:45:52,360 --> 01:45:54,920 Speaker 4: your head. When you know you did some shit and 2161 01:45:54,920 --> 01:45:57,240 Speaker 4: it's this ship, you were like, yes, I did it, 2162 01:45:57,280 --> 01:45:59,800 Speaker 4: I got it. You know, this is the bomb, whatever 2163 01:45:59,800 --> 01:46:05,080 Speaker 4: it may be. Because if you don't, sometimes you'll fault 2164 01:46:05,080 --> 01:46:07,879 Speaker 4: your own things. If you're not your own biggest cheerleader. 2165 01:46:07,920 --> 01:46:09,839 Speaker 4: It's good to have people around you, and it's wonderful 2166 01:46:09,880 --> 01:46:11,559 Speaker 4: and they can actually give you the energy that you 2167 01:46:11,600 --> 01:46:13,920 Speaker 4: need in your back. But I'm trying to tell you 2168 01:46:14,080 --> 01:46:17,479 Speaker 4: it's nothing like putting the power within yourself to be 2169 01:46:17,600 --> 01:46:19,840 Speaker 4: like you know what, i' mother fucking got this. 2170 01:46:20,840 --> 01:46:22,880 Speaker 1: And Nazia says during the end of the episode, felt 2171 01:46:22,920 --> 01:46:24,880 Speaker 1: like you were breaking down.

Whoopy Goelbert's comments 2353 01:55:54,000 --> 01:55:56,920 Speaker 1: about the Holocaust was not anti Semitic. She did not 2354 01:55:57,280 --> 01:56:01,480 Speaker 1: discount the holocausts us an anti Semitics flur nothing against 2355 01:56:01,520 --> 01:56:03,840 Speaker 1: the Jews. Her last name is a Jewish name, and 2356 01:56:03,960 --> 01:56:06,320 Speaker 1: the Jewish man gave her her first acting role. She 2357 01:56:06,800 --> 01:56:09,160 Speaker 1: has never said anything about Jews in the derogatory in 2358 01:56:09,200 --> 01:56:12,440 Speaker 1: that manner. Whoopy is not the only one that thought 2359 01:56:12,520 --> 01:56:14,880 Speaker 1: Jewish was white and the only thing, because I never 2360 01:56:15,000 --> 01:56:17,440 Speaker 1: heard of any person of color being Jewish until I 2361 01:56:17,480 --> 01:56:21,440 Speaker 1: saw I Die on Sammy Davis Jr. And was surprised, like, Wow, 2362 01:56:21,520 --> 01:56:24,320 Speaker 1: a black Jew. I'm confused because if Jewish isn't just 2363 01:56:24,400 --> 01:56:27,320 Speaker 1: a race thing, isn't more about the faith. To be honest, 2364 01:56:27,400 --> 01:56:34,400 Speaker 1: how many poc you know are Jewish? So the thing 2365 01:56:34,680 --> 01:56:37,919 Speaker 1: is we look at whiteness through a lens of America, 2366 01:56:38,120 --> 01:56:40,600 Speaker 1: and in America is also where you're from. Now. I 2367 01:56:40,760 --> 01:56:44,320 Speaker 1: think Whoopy's from New York, So I do feel like 2368 01:56:44,920 --> 01:56:48,680 Speaker 1: it seems like something Whoopy would have known was that 2369 01:56:48,880 --> 01:56:51,600 Speaker 1: Jewish was considered a race. I'm not from New York, 2370 01:56:51,680 --> 01:56:55,960 Speaker 1: and I learned that in my you know, probably thirties, 2371 01:56:56,360 --> 01:56:59,960 Speaker 1: which says a lot about the South and how whiteness, 2372 01:57:00,080 --> 01:57:01,800 Speaker 1: succene and all the stuff. 2373 01:57:03,240 --> 01:57:06,640 Speaker 3: They all, it all blends together down here, and I think. 2374 01:57:08,680 --> 01:57:11,160 Speaker 4: I'll say it's no separation versus you know, as certain 2375 01:57:11,200 --> 01:57:14,160 Speaker 4: parts of New York you have a Jewish area where 2376 01:57:14,160 --> 01:57:16,080 Speaker 4: they have their own police and their own community a 2377 01:57:16,280 --> 01:57:18,560 Speaker 4: separate area, you know, like it is. We don't have 2378 01:57:18,720 --> 01:57:19,280 Speaker 4: that down here. 2379 01:57:19,760 --> 01:57:21,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, down in the South, for us, it's just you 2380 01:57:21,880 --> 01:57:26,520 Speaker 1: either are white or you other and if elena and 2381 01:57:26,840 --> 01:57:30,760 Speaker 1: if you're not other, you nigga. So that's it. There's 2382 01:57:30,840 --> 01:57:36,240 Speaker 1: three groups. And in the South, if you are allowed 2383 01:57:36,440 --> 01:57:40,920 Speaker 1: into the box of whiteness, then that's where most people 2384 01:57:40,960 --> 01:57:43,920 Speaker 1: are gonna go. They're not gonna volunteer to be into 2385 01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:48,000 Speaker 1: other or nigga because it's just the the social consequences 2386 01:57:48,040 --> 01:57:49,680 Speaker 1: are just too much for most people. And I don't 2387 01:57:49,680 --> 01:57:53,040 Speaker 1: even blame them. It really why most people would not 2388 01:57:53,200 --> 01:57:55,000 Speaker 1: choose this if they didn't have to, you see what 2389 01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:58,000 Speaker 1: I'm saying. So if you're a white past and lieutenant person, 2390 01:57:58,120 --> 01:58:01,680 Speaker 1: you're probably gonna just pass down here. Maybe it's you know, 2391 01:58:02,080 --> 01:58:04,360 Speaker 1: maybe your last name gives your way, or maybe you 2392 01:58:04,560 --> 01:58:06,440 Speaker 1: like being kind of despice it white type of but 2393 01:58:06,520 --> 01:58:08,600 Speaker 1: you're gonna be white if you can help it, because 2394 01:58:09,040 --> 01:58:13,800 Speaker 1: all the privileges afforded the whiteness. The thing for me 2395 01:58:14,080 --> 01:58:18,960 Speaker 1: with Whoope is I don't. I just don't know how 2396 01:58:19,040 --> 01:58:22,160 Speaker 1: you cannot think the Holocaust is about race, you know, 2397 01:58:22,280 --> 01:58:25,600 Speaker 1: I just don't. And you know, it's not even like 2398 01:58:25,760 --> 01:58:29,720 Speaker 1: only Jewish people were killed. You know, LGBTQ people were killed. 2399 01:58:29,880 --> 01:58:34,400 Speaker 1: People of other ethnicities and nationalities are killed. And in 2400 01:58:34,520 --> 01:58:38,720 Speaker 1: this case, from the eyes of the beholder German, the 2401 01:58:39,320 --> 01:58:43,240 Speaker 1: German Nazis did not see those people as white. And 2402 01:58:43,960 --> 01:58:46,760 Speaker 1: once you say that this is a master race and 2403 01:58:46,840 --> 01:58:50,480 Speaker 1: you're not part of it, I can't There's no amount 2404 01:58:50,720 --> 01:58:54,080 Speaker 1: of pontificating or context I can give it that would 2405 01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:58,680 Speaker 1: make it not about race at that point. And you know, 2406 01:58:58,720 --> 01:59:04,080 Speaker 1: I don't feel angry Whoopee. I also don't feel one 2407 01:59:04,160 --> 01:59:06,400 Speaker 1: hundred percent protective of Whoopee in the way that a 2408 01:59:06,440 --> 01:59:10,080 Speaker 1: lot of people do, because I think, you know, that's 2409 01:59:10,160 --> 01:59:11,600 Speaker 1: kind of her job, is to go on there and 2410 01:59:11,680 --> 01:59:17,600 Speaker 1: say sometimes just stumbling the controversial thing because you haven't 2411 01:59:17,640 --> 01:59:19,760 Speaker 1: really been practicing what you're going to say. You don't 2412 01:59:19,760 --> 01:59:21,040 Speaker 1: know what you're going to say to you say it, 2413 01:59:21,120 --> 01:59:25,520 Speaker 1: and it's live before an audience and it might not 2414 01:59:25,640 --> 01:59:27,840 Speaker 1: always come out well. So I think a lot of 2415 01:59:27,880 --> 01:59:33,440 Speaker 1: people have kind of misplaced It's funny, Honestly, it's very funny. 2416 01:59:33,600 --> 01:59:35,840 Speaker 1: I would imagine a lot of the people that feel 2417 01:59:35,840 --> 01:59:39,120 Speaker 1: a way about Aquafina have felt the opposite for Whoopy 2418 01:59:39,160 --> 01:59:40,280 Speaker 1: in this situation. 2419 01:59:41,560 --> 01:59:42,720 Speaker 4: A lot of them all. 2420 01:59:43,320 --> 01:59:45,320 Speaker 1: And I want to say, what Whoopee said is more 2421 01:59:45,360 --> 01:59:48,680 Speaker 1: egregious because you literally just told some people like what 2422 01:59:48,800 --> 01:59:50,680 Speaker 1: happened to you wasn't about your race, and it's like, 2423 01:59:51,240 --> 01:59:54,400 Speaker 1: what the fuck are you talking about? But I think 2424 01:59:54,440 --> 01:59:56,120 Speaker 1: a lot of it's about protecting the group that we 2425 01:59:56,240 --> 01:59:58,040 Speaker 1: belong to. And I think she's a good example of 2426 01:59:58,160 --> 02:00:00,360 Speaker 1: us feeling like she's a black woman, she couldn't have 2427 02:00:00,360 --> 02:00:07,000 Speaker 1: been wrong, and I think she was wrong. But it's 2428 02:00:07,080 --> 02:00:13,480 Speaker 1: hard to feel like justice is being done quote unquote 2429 02:00:13,520 --> 02:00:17,640 Speaker 1: because people watch Megan McCain and others say things that 2430 02:00:17,840 --> 02:00:22,920 Speaker 1: were pretty controversial and not get reprimanded as harshly. So 2431 02:00:23,120 --> 02:00:28,040 Speaker 1: I think it's just hard to had this conversation for people. Also, 2432 02:00:28,120 --> 02:00:30,080 Speaker 1: what do you think about people saying that when Roseanne 2433 02:00:30,120 --> 02:00:32,080 Speaker 1: said something about a black person, she lost her job. 2434 02:00:32,120 --> 02:00:36,720 Speaker 1: When Woody said something about Jewish people, she gets suspended 2435 02:00:36,880 --> 02:00:39,560 Speaker 1: about how that is unfair. I would say more, but 2436 02:00:39,680 --> 02:00:43,120 Speaker 1: that is because it's kind of confusing to me. What 2437 02:00:43,240 --> 02:00:45,920 Speaker 1: do I think about the Roseanne shit? Well, she was 2438 02:00:46,000 --> 02:00:48,560 Speaker 1: the that's the I thought that age one was right, right. 2439 02:00:52,680 --> 02:00:58,839 Speaker 1: I think Rosene had a bunch of controversial conservative trumpish views, 2440 02:00:59,640 --> 02:01:01,879 Speaker 1: and that was the tax of asion that could. 2441 02:01:01,720 --> 02:01:05,840 Speaker 4: Get her on yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, because when that 2442 02:01:05,920 --> 02:01:08,440 Speaker 4: situation happened, it was other things that kept coming out 2443 02:01:08,440 --> 02:01:10,120 Speaker 4: and was like, Okay, we've had enough, you got to go. 2444 02:01:10,600 --> 02:01:13,960 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think seeing Valerie Jared, think mistaking Valerie Jared 2445 02:01:14,040 --> 02:01:16,880 Speaker 1: for a white woman is not the big joker that 2446 02:01:16,960 --> 02:01:22,600 Speaker 1: people are treating uns like. But you know, Roseanne had 2447 02:01:22,640 --> 02:01:25,400 Speaker 1: a streak of problematic shit in a very short period 2448 02:01:25,440 --> 02:01:29,840 Speaker 1: of time. Even when you think about whoopee, her problematic 2449 02:01:29,920 --> 02:01:36,360 Speaker 1: shit was like, oh decades into making Like people were 2450 02:01:36,360 --> 02:01:38,640 Speaker 1: bringing up shit from like two thousand and five and stuff, 2451 02:01:38,680 --> 02:01:41,960 Speaker 1: and I'm like, yeah, that's not gonna stick, like like 2452 02:01:42,360 --> 02:01:44,960 Speaker 1: like that's just more about our obsession with celebrity and 2453 02:01:45,080 --> 02:01:47,400 Speaker 1: being like we need to I never fucked with in 2454 02:01:47,440 --> 02:01:49,880 Speaker 1: the first place, but it's like, in general, nobody's sitting 2455 02:01:49,880 --> 02:01:53,480 Speaker 1: around going yeah, man. When she said that, the first 2456 02:01:53,560 --> 02:01:56,480 Speaker 1: thing I thought was what she said about Roman Pulaski, 2457 02:01:56,600 --> 02:02:00,720 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So yeah, I don't know. 2458 02:02:00,920 --> 02:02:04,480 Speaker 1: I think I think, yeah, I think they just got 2459 02:02:04,640 --> 02:02:07,440 Speaker 1: Roseanne because she was she was very problematic in a 2460 02:02:07,480 --> 02:02:09,440 Speaker 1: short period of time, and it was fucking up to 2461 02:02:09,520 --> 02:02:11,160 Speaker 1: come back for the TV show right. 2462 02:02:11,200 --> 02:02:13,080 Speaker 4: They was like, look, and that show's been on for 2463 02:02:13,400 --> 02:02:16,960 Speaker 4: for years now.

Someone 2509 02:04:36,800 --> 02:04:39,200 Speaker 1: finally said what if we just take all the inwords 2510 02:04:39,560 --> 02:04:42,120 Speaker 1: out of context and put them in a video. And 2511 02:04:42,200 --> 02:04:44,280 Speaker 1: then everybody was like, oh, we gonna get him now. 2512 02:04:44,360 --> 02:04:46,400 Speaker 1: And I don't know, I feel cynical that they're gonna 2513 02:04:46,440 --> 02:04:48,800 Speaker 1: get them, and then I feel cynical that they even care. 2514 02:04:48,800 --> 02:04:51,960 Speaker 1: I feel like it's just a gotcha. So I had 2515 02:04:54,520 --> 02:04:56,920 Speaker 1: I regionally happened upon a Twitter thread about his in 2516 02:04:57,040 --> 02:04:59,280 Speaker 1: word utter it's as well as other deplorable things he 2517 02:04:59,320 --> 02:05:02,840 Speaker 1: said on the mic.

Yeah, like I said, not surprised he's 2523 02:05:14,360 --> 02:05:18,400 Speaker 1: been talking about it. V mean right saying for the pandemic. Hey, 2524 02:05:18,480 --> 02:05:20,520 Speaker 1: Rid and Karen, I'm writing in about this episode. Is 2525 02:05:20,520 --> 02:05:22,480 Speaker 1: a Canadian who lives in Artaria to shed some more 2526 02:05:22,560 --> 02:05:24,840 Speaker 1: light on the situation up north. First, thank you for 2527 02:05:24,960 --> 02:05:27,800 Speaker 1: covering this story and the protesters demanding food. The crazy 2528 02:05:27,840 --> 02:05:29,960 Speaker 1: thing is the truckers who are against the vaccine mandate 2529 02:05:30,440 --> 02:05:32,920 Speaker 1: are the few drivers who refuse to be vaccinated. According 2530 02:05:32,960 --> 02:05:37,240 Speaker 1: to Canadian Trucking Alliance, which is a federation of provincial 2531 02:05:37,440 --> 02:05:41,320 Speaker 1: trucking associations, provinces are the equivalent of states in the US, 2532 02:05:41,840 --> 02:05:45,560 Speaker 1: roughly eighty five percent of truckers are vaccinated. The Transport 2533 02:05:45,640 --> 02:05:49,080 Speaker 1: Minister said that among almost ninety percent of Canadian truckers 2534 02:05:49,120 --> 02:05:52,400 Speaker 1: are vaccinated. Also, the vaccine mandate for truckers does not 2535 02:05:52,560 --> 02:05:54,960 Speaker 1: state that those truckers who refuse to be vaccinated will 2536 02:05:55,000 --> 02:05:58,080 Speaker 1: be fired. The mandate simply states that unvaccinated Canadian truck 2537 02:05:58,160 --> 02:05:59,960 Speaker 1: drivers er in Canada will need to meet the require 2538 02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:03,800 Speaker 1: froments for pre entry arrival testing and will be required 2539 02:06:03,800 --> 02:06:08,080 Speaker 1: to quarantine. It's certainly more inconvenient compared to get vaccinated, 2540 02:06:08,160 --> 02:06:10,920 Speaker 1: but that's the choice that fifteen percent of that fifteen 2541 02:06:10,960 --> 02:06:14,600 Speaker 1: percent that are unvaccinated. So somehow this fifteen percent have 2542 02:06:14,720 --> 02:06:17,240 Speaker 1: decided their rights have been validated, which blows my mind, 2543 02:06:17,320 --> 02:06:20,400 Speaker 1: but also no surprise. Because hello, white privilege as an 2544 02:06:20,400 --> 02:06:24,200 Speaker 1: aside of vaccine mandates and mass mandates are provincial and 2545 02:06:24,320 --> 02:06:26,960 Speaker 1: not federals. So I'm not sure what these terrorists hope 2546 02:06:26,960 --> 02:06:31,800 Speaker 1: to accomplish in Ottawa, the capital, besides throwing a massive tantrum. 2547 02:06:32,520 --> 02:06:35,200 Speaker 4: Right, So it's not all of Canada, it's like in 2548 02:06:35,400 --> 02:06:36,480 Speaker 4: separate providences. 2549 02:06:36,680 --> 02:06:39,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, It's like it's like it is here. It's like 2550 02:06:39,320 --> 02:06:41,360 Speaker 1: everybody thinks there was a federal mandate and now I'm 2551 02:06:41,400 --> 02:06:45,360 Speaker 1: always like there never was one. So if there was 2552 02:06:45,480 --> 02:06:48,800 Speaker 1: ever a federal mandate that was passed by the Biden administration, 2553 02:06:48,920 --> 02:06:51,400 Speaker 1: it will actually be the first one America really had. 2554 02:06:52,040 --> 02:06:54,800 Speaker 1: We've had recommendations from the CDC and all of those 2555 02:06:54,880 --> 02:06:58,560 Speaker 1: have been adopted by states. And when states were afraid 2556 02:06:58,600 --> 02:07:00,640 Speaker 1: of us the first three weeks they did it, and 2557 02:07:00,720 --> 02:07:03,840 Speaker 1: then after that every state went, you know, with their 2558 02:07:03,880 --> 02:07:07,480 Speaker 1: own way. The situation with the homeless shelter in Ottawa 2559 02:07:07,560 --> 02:07:09,400 Speaker 1: made me very angry when I read about it. Homeless 2560 02:07:09,440 --> 02:07:12,000 Speaker 1: shelters are already experiencing shortages because of the pandemic, and 2561 02:07:12,080 --> 02:07:16,160 Speaker 1: for this group of truckers, trucker crosses people who are 2562 02:07:17,120 --> 02:07:20,240 Speaker 1: gainfully employed with full health benefits coverage to take advantage 2563 02:07:20,240 --> 02:07:22,720 Speaker 1: of resources that are supposed to be available to those 2564 02:07:22,800 --> 02:07:25,480 Speaker 1: in need is beyond discussing. They de face national monuments 2565 02:07:25,520 --> 02:07:28,080 Speaker 1: and made life very challenging for those living in the capitol. 2566 02:07:28,120 --> 02:07:30,120 Speaker 1: Both of you pointed out that these people want to 2567 02:07:30,160 --> 02:07:32,040 Speaker 1: make themselves the victims, and it's true. They want to 2568 02:07:32,040 --> 02:07:34,880 Speaker 1: be oppressed so badly to the extent that they feel 2569 02:07:35,200 --> 02:07:38,360 Speaker 1: as if their freedoms are being violated. As a lawyer, 2570 02:07:38,560 --> 02:07:41,240 Speaker 1: I get very annoyed when people throw their word freedom 2571 02:07:41,280 --> 02:07:43,800 Speaker 1: around in such a manner. They equate inconvenience or not 2572 02:07:43,880 --> 02:07:46,920 Speaker 1: getting their way as a violation or taking away their freedom. 2573 02:07:47,000 --> 02:07:49,879 Speaker 1: The sense of entitlement is deeply disturbing to me.

And now we're working 2610 02:09:29,840 --> 02:09:32,760 Speaker 1: together and I really do think we're going to create 2611 02:09:32,840 --> 02:09:33,520 Speaker 1: something special. 2612 02:09:34,600 --> 02:09:35,320 Speaker 2: When you talk. 2613 02:09:35,160 --> 02:09:37,760 Speaker 1: About your nine to five, the sense of alienation is 2614 02:09:37,800 --> 02:09:40,880 Speaker 1: still so palpable. Therefore latable I'm still there but dipping 2615 02:09:40,960 --> 02:09:45,200 Speaker 1: my toes into entrepreneurial creative waters. It's taking me so 2616 02:09:45,360 --> 02:09:47,600 Speaker 1: long to do so because you get bogged down by 2617 02:09:47,640 --> 02:09:51,480 Speaker 1: spiritual and physical exhaustion from work, being short on resources, 2618 02:09:51,520 --> 02:09:54,400 Speaker 1: and maybe most more importantly, doubt as to your level 2619 02:09:54,520 --> 02:09:56,640 Speaker 1: of know how and getting your ducks in a row 2620 02:09:56,720 --> 02:09:59,760 Speaker 1: business plans, trademarks, et cetera.

That's a big one analysis of paralysis, 2624 02:10:08,400 --> 02:10:10,720 Speaker 1: they say, or something like that, or paralysis of anounces 2625 02:10:10,760 --> 02:10:11,040 Speaker 1: or whatever. 2626 02:10:11,200 --> 02:10:15,440 Speaker 2: But and then also imposture syndrome. 2627 02:10:16,280 --> 02:10:20,040 Speaker 1: You know so many people when you start a creative venture, 2628 02:10:20,360 --> 02:10:23,240 Speaker 1: like I've never done this before, am I even supposed 2629 02:10:23,240 --> 02:10:27,200 Speaker 1: to be doing this?

Somewhere around December, the word providence just started 2636 02:10:45,680 --> 02:10:47,920 Speaker 1: coming to me over and over again.

Cultural appropriation is such a 2653 02:11:27,440 --> 02:11:30,520 Speaker 1: nebulous thing. Who can even define it? Who can live 2654 02:11:30,600 --> 02:11:33,360 Speaker 1: by the rules one hundred percent?

And 2666 02:12:06,200 --> 02:12:11,040 Speaker 1: in some ways it's really good, because you know, it's 2667 02:12:11,120 --> 02:12:14,680 Speaker 1: alienating to always be on the outside looking at So 2668 02:12:15,400 --> 02:12:18,040 Speaker 1: let's say you're a black woman and you're the only 2669 02:12:18,160 --> 02:12:20,280 Speaker 1: black woman in your school or your job, or your 2670 02:12:20,280 --> 02:12:23,160 Speaker 1: community or whatever, and the Internet allows you to link 2671 02:12:23,240 --> 02:12:25,440 Speaker 1: up with other black women and also the only black women, 2672 02:12:25,520 --> 02:12:27,200 Speaker 1: and y'all now are no longer the only black women 2673 02:12:27,240 --> 02:12:29,320 Speaker 1: because y'all hang out together and it feels good and 2674 02:12:29,800 --> 02:12:31,960 Speaker 1: you have each other's back, and you assume the best 2675 02:12:32,040 --> 02:12:35,200 Speaker 1: of each other, and you uh, when someone messes up, 2676 02:12:35,360 --> 02:12:37,360 Speaker 1: you can be gentle with them because you will want 2677 02:12:37,400 --> 02:12:39,600 Speaker 1: to be gentle with yourself.

I think we've cultivated the kind 2714 02:14:48,200 --> 02:14:50,240 Speaker 1: of audience and we are the kind of podcasts we 2715 02:14:50,280 --> 02:14:54,040 Speaker 1: wouldn't just initially jump down your fucking throat. Oh no, no, 2716 02:14:54,720 --> 02:14:57,560 Speaker 1: now that obviously that's not true. For a lot of podcasts, 2717 02:14:57,600 --> 02:15:01,880 Speaker 1: maybe not even most podcasts. But we're not taking power here. 2718 02:15:02,800 --> 02:15:06,360 Speaker 3: Oh no, Like we didn't take like pose, ain't a 2719 02:15:06,440 --> 02:15:06,760 Speaker 3: fight you. 2720 02:15:07,000 --> 02:15:09,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, we didn't start this podcast with some type of 2721 02:15:09,400 --> 02:15:12,280 Speaker 1: power fantasy of lording over other people and going to 2722 02:15:12,280 --> 02:15:14,880 Speaker 1: get them and shit.

That's their vision 2724 02:15:17,960 --> 02:15:20,400 Speaker 1: of what they want to do, and if you fucked 2725 02:15:20,440 --> 02:15:22,920 Speaker 1: up in those rooms, they probably would be like, let's 2726 02:15:22,920 --> 02:15:26,600 Speaker 1: attack each other. But I feel that the same people 2727 02:15:26,680 --> 02:15:28,880 Speaker 1: that turn around to play guest the race should be 2728 02:15:29,000 --> 02:15:33,680 Speaker 1: a little bit fucking understanding about intent and consideration. And 2729 02:15:33,760 --> 02:15:35,920 Speaker 1: if you've ever played that game with us, then I 2730 02:15:36,000 --> 02:15:38,040 Speaker 1: think you should take the stick out your ass when 2731 02:15:38,080 --> 02:15:39,920 Speaker 1: it comes to some of this stuff and be like, yeah, 2732 02:15:40,320 --> 02:15:44,400 Speaker 1: intent does matter. Because if anyone ever isolated just the 2733 02:15:44,920 --> 02:15:47,560 Speaker 1: guesses in the chat room and keep kept a running 2734 02:15:47,640 --> 02:15:50,680 Speaker 1: log and when when you go apply for a job, 2735 02:15:50,720 --> 02:15:52,400 Speaker 1: we just gonna pull this up, you'd be like, but 2736 02:15:52,400 --> 02:15:54,600 Speaker 1: if we were playing a game, we know it's comedic, 2737 02:15:54,720 --> 02:15:58,600 Speaker 1: it was sarcastic, we clearly don't mean it right, and 2738 02:15:58,960 --> 02:16:02,400 Speaker 1: just understand that. I would understand that. But there's a 2739 02:16:02,440 --> 02:16:04,600 Speaker 1: lot of people that would be like, nope, I want 2740 02:16:04,640 --> 02:16:06,600 Speaker 1: to use my power to get you and I got 2741 02:16:06,680 --> 02:16:13,240 Speaker 1: your ass, so anyway. But yet, luckily, I think since 2742 02:16:13,240 --> 02:16:15,440 Speaker 1: I've been there a few years, everybody knows it's not 2743 02:16:15,720 --> 02:16:17,600 Speaker 1: my intent to say something off by the way, I'm 2744 02:16:17,640 --> 02:16:19,640 Speaker 1: opening to someone privately saying something to me as well, 2745 02:16:19,960 --> 02:16:22,200 Speaker 1: But do cross the line because I don't know everything. 2746 02:16:23,040 --> 02:16:24,760 Speaker 1: Just don't be a dick about it. That's how I 2747 02:16:24,840 --> 02:16:27,880 Speaker 1: look at it. I believe I even email Rid to 2748 02:16:28,000 --> 02:16:30,400 Speaker 1: ask if I can say the word hotel because I'm 2749 02:16:30,440 --> 02:16:32,160 Speaker 1: not black and I don't know, and I don't want 2750 02:16:32,280 --> 02:16:34,840 Speaker 1: to do something fucked up anyway. Like I said, I 2751 02:16:34,920 --> 02:16:37,600 Speaker 1: appreciate y' all talking about it because people act like 2752 02:16:37,640 --> 02:16:39,120 Speaker 1: we're supposed to know what the hell it is. 2753 02:16:39,240 --> 02:16:41,160 Speaker 2: And to be honest, I'm confused. 2754 02:16:41,520 --> 02:16:43,400 Speaker 3: Right, I'm confused. 2755 02:16:43,840 --> 02:16:48,320 Speaker 4: I'm confused because the rules changed, they vary per person. 2756 02:16:48,800 --> 02:16:50,400 Speaker 4: They very are not consistent. 2757 02:16:50,840 --> 02:16:53,760 Speaker 3: How one person feel is how one another person feel. 2758 02:16:54,040 --> 02:16:56,560 Speaker 4: One person won't apply it this way, another person wont 2759 02:16:56,560 --> 02:16:59,640 Speaker 4: to apply it that way, and that's why it's so confusing. 2760 02:17:00,360 --> 02:17:02,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if people are just more honest about 2761 02:17:04,120 --> 02:17:06,640 Speaker 1: you know, this can be confusing. I think it would 2762 02:17:06,680 --> 02:17:10,320 Speaker 1: be easier, but not enough people are honest about it. 2763 02:17:10,440 --> 02:17:12,960 Speaker 1: There's a lot of right, I'm an expert and I 2764 02:17:13,080 --> 02:17:15,240 Speaker 1: know how it goes, and you're like, well, you just 2765 02:17:15,280 --> 02:17:18,480 Speaker 1: said the opposite thing five minutes ago, and you don't 2766 02:17:18,520 --> 02:17:20,880 Speaker 1: see how that would confuse a person looking for the 2767 02:17:20,959 --> 02:17:24,400 Speaker 1: quote unquote rules. And people don't want to admit shit 2768 02:17:24,480 --> 02:17:27,840 Speaker 1: is situational and that human beings are situational and that 2769 02:17:27,959 --> 02:17:30,480 Speaker 1: we flip and flop. Anyway, hope you up to our 2770 02:17:30,560 --> 02:17:32,360 Speaker 1: depth the world in your new temporary situation can grab 2771 02:17:32,480 --> 02:17:37,520 Speaker 1: some new gig love Mary.

I can't believe she 2873 02:22:43,760 --> 02:22:46,400 Speaker 1: or he said this, and I'm like, well, it's probably 2874 02:22:46,400 --> 02:22:50,000 Speaker 1: because they were never one hundred percent right about anything, 2875 02:22:50,120 --> 02:22:55,200 Speaker 1: because none of us is, you know. Anyway, Amanda says, Hey, 2876 02:22:55,280 --> 02:22:57,240 Speaker 1: Rod and Karen scaffold and just wanted to offer a 2877 02:22:57,280 --> 02:22:59,879 Speaker 1: hearty welcome New York. I moved there a few years ago, 2878 02:23:00,080 --> 02:23:02,000 Speaker 1: so I like to share something some of what I've 2879 02:23:02,080 --> 02:23:05,080 Speaker 1: learned in my time there. Scaffolding everywhere is crazy. They 2880 02:23:05,160 --> 02:23:08,720 Speaker 1: even have different styles of it, which makes them look fascy. 2881 02:23:10,160 --> 02:23:12,400 Speaker 1: The reasons that you see so much because the old 2882 02:23:12,600 --> 02:23:15,720 Speaker 1: high rise buildings with brick and gargoyles and as such 2883 02:23:15,879 --> 02:23:19,280 Speaker 1: sometimes break pieces break off and fall into the street 2884 02:23:19,320 --> 02:23:22,360 Speaker 1: occasionally and during past her bars. As a result, every 2885 02:23:22,879 --> 02:23:26,200 Speaker 1: made it so every five years or so buildings have 2886 02:23:26,280 --> 02:23:28,840 Speaker 1: to be checked for any loose bits and have repairs made. 2887 02:23:29,480 --> 02:23:32,520 Speaker 1: As it takes a while to do put scaffolding up 2888 02:23:32,600 --> 02:23:34,320 Speaker 1: and take it down. It just seems as if it's 2889 02:23:34,360 --> 02:23:39,960 Speaker 1: always put up. Aquafina says Aquafina. As for the Hardgafina controversy, 2890 02:23:39,959 --> 02:23:42,200 Speaker 1: I really like what you had to say. It does 2891 02:23:42,280 --> 02:23:44,600 Speaker 1: seem as if we pick and choose who we were 2892 02:23:44,959 --> 02:23:48,360 Speaker 1: upset at. But she has made some egregious characterizations of 2893 02:23:48,400 --> 02:23:52,279 Speaker 1: black women in her YouTube videos which have been particularly offensive. 2894 02:23:52,360 --> 02:23:56,119 Speaker 1: The crouch. The crouch behind her fan of hip hop remarks, 2895 02:23:57,000 --> 02:24:00,880 Speaker 1: I don't know what that means, but forever Aquafina. There's 2896 02:24:00,879 --> 02:24:03,760 Speaker 1: also a DJ Khalt. He, like her, has appropriated the 2897 02:24:03,800 --> 02:24:06,880 Speaker 1: culture and has never been called out. They have similar 2898 02:24:07,520 --> 02:24:10,200 Speaker 1: immigrant backgrounds and have chosen to adopt black culture, but 2899 02:24:10,400 --> 02:24:13,320 Speaker 1: he has been widely accepted and never questioned about his motives, 2900 02:24:13,360 --> 02:24:16,120 Speaker 1: and honestly, I'm not sure why. Anyways, thank you for 2901 02:24:16,200 --> 02:24:17,800 Speaker 1: doing the show. I hope you and care have a 2902 02:24:17,920 --> 02:24:19,080 Speaker 1: nice I'm sorry. 2903 02:24:18,879 --> 02:24:21,360 Speaker 3: I can't go ahead, man Penis, that's why. 2904 02:24:21,600 --> 02:24:24,320 Speaker 1: Oh yep, there you go. Anyway, thank you for doing 2905 02:24:24,360 --> 02:24:26,000 Speaker 1: the show. Hope you and Karen will have a nice 2906 02:24:26,040 --> 02:24:28,120 Speaker 1: time when she comes to the city. Maybe see a 2907 02:24:28,160 --> 02:24:30,400 Speaker 1: show or two, or check out the Afrofuturism event at 2908 02:24:30,480 --> 02:24:34,200 Speaker 1: Carnegie Hall. Take care of Panda. And then later she 2909 02:24:34,360 --> 02:24:36,760 Speaker 1: wrote because I asked her, I said, do you have 2910 02:24:36,800 --> 02:24:42,360 Speaker 1: any specific examples of Aquafina talking bad about black women 2911 02:24:42,440 --> 02:24:46,360 Speaker 1: on the YouTube? Because I said, you know, I've been 2912 02:24:46,480 --> 02:24:49,800 Speaker 1: asking and I've only ever seen that cill Serena Williams 2913 02:24:49,879 --> 02:24:52,640 Speaker 1: wrap line is out of context, but nothing else. As 2914 02:24:52,680 --> 02:24:55,200 Speaker 1: she said, I guess I'm just generalizing and I just 2915 02:24:55,240 --> 02:24:58,640 Speaker 1: want to say it's very important. I think if we 2916 02:24:58,760 --> 02:25:02,160 Speaker 1: say that about Aqua, it should be true. That's all 2917 02:25:02,200 --> 02:25:04,800 Speaker 1: I'm saying is this is not a protection of somebody. 2918 02:25:04,840 --> 02:25:06,680 Speaker 1: It's just like, give me the bullet, give me the 2919 02:25:06,720 --> 02:25:09,400 Speaker 1: smoking gun, and I'll be like that's what it was about. 2920 02:25:09,440 --> 02:25:12,080 Speaker 1: Because right now it's vibes for a lot of this, 2921 02:25:12,800 --> 02:25:15,200 Speaker 1: and I think the vibes is what lends me to 2922 02:25:15,280 --> 02:25:19,240 Speaker 1: be like, Okay, this doesn't This feels more like a 2923 02:25:19,360 --> 02:25:23,360 Speaker 1: witch hunt in need of a witch truth is you 2924 02:25:23,440 --> 02:25:25,960 Speaker 1: don't really get it? Yeah, because like I can find 2925 02:25:26,000 --> 02:25:28,640 Speaker 1: you the exact quote of Miley Cyrus talking about how 2926 02:25:28,720 --> 02:25:32,840 Speaker 1: hip hop is disrespectful after she made a hip hop album, 2927 02:25:33,200 --> 02:25:35,000 Speaker 1: like I can find you that quote. I can find 2928 02:25:35,040 --> 02:25:37,240 Speaker 1: you the video justin Bieber singing nigger over and over. 2929 02:25:38,160 --> 02:25:40,800 Speaker 1: I'm just surprised that it like we don't have the 2930 02:25:40,840 --> 02:25:43,080 Speaker 1: smoking gun or we're saying like nigger or something. We 2931 02:25:43,160 --> 02:25:45,440 Speaker 1: were like, oh, that's what it is, because I'm not 2932 02:25:45,680 --> 02:25:48,360 Speaker 1: like protective of these people.

But I 2938 02:26:06,720 --> 02:26:09,920 Speaker 1: just don't want to join the Vibes communion, which is 2939 02:26:10,040 --> 02:26:12,200 Speaker 1: not keeping anyone else out. But I don't want to 2940 02:26:12,240 --> 02:26:13,800 Speaker 1: be part of that, and I don't want my show. 2941 02:26:13,680 --> 02:26:13,920 Speaker 4: To be that. 2942 02:26:15,440 --> 02:26:18,200 Speaker 1: If you find some specific I'm more than willing to 2943 02:26:18,240 --> 02:26:21,720 Speaker 1: do it, she said. My reference I really her referred 2944 02:26:21,760 --> 02:26:23,959 Speaker 1: to my bad video as well as the old Vice 2945 02:26:24,040 --> 02:26:25,879 Speaker 1: interview where she said she didn't want to do Asian 2946 02:26:25,959 --> 02:26:28,360 Speaker 1: accents that's not that old of an interview, or make 2947 02:26:28,440 --> 02:26:33,120 Speaker 1: Asient minster performances respectable, but yet continue to do. Black said, also, 2948 02:26:33,200 --> 02:26:35,240 Speaker 1: I just found out she's from Forest Hills, Queens, which 2949 02:26:35,240 --> 02:26:37,680 Speaker 1: is majority agent of Latino, so she didn't pick up 2950 02:26:37,680 --> 02:26:39,120 Speaker 1: the accent naturally from surroundings. 2951 02:26:39,200 --> 02:26:40,920 Speaker 2: Well, she's been open about that too. 2952 02:26:41,640 --> 02:26:43,920 Speaker 1: I've enjoyed her acting and sketchwork in the past, and 2953 02:26:44,000 --> 02:26:45,960 Speaker 1: my aunt loves nor for Queens. But I'm siding with 2954 02:26:46,080 --> 02:26:49,480 Speaker 1: occasionally annoying ass Black Twitter on this one. Yeah, Like 2955 02:26:49,560 --> 02:26:51,840 Speaker 1: I said, I was hoping that you would come with 2956 02:26:52,040 --> 02:26:54,920 Speaker 1: some like facts or something that she had done that 2957 02:26:55,080 --> 02:26:55,680 Speaker 1: I hadn't heard. 2958 02:26:55,760 --> 02:26:58,040 Speaker 3: But yeah, a lot of people go, I just feel 2959 02:26:58,080 --> 02:26:59,280 Speaker 3: this way, and yeah, save out. 2960 02:26:59,480 --> 02:27:01,800 Speaker 4: But you know, don'tnut like I'm crazy, because I'd be 2961 02:27:01,920 --> 02:27:03,480 Speaker 4: like y'all just feeling a certain way. 2962 02:27:03,879 --> 02:27:05,720 Speaker 3: I'm not just doing this. What the fuck are we 2963 02:27:05,800 --> 02:27:06,320 Speaker 3: talking about? 2964 02:27:06,360 --> 02:27:07,440 Speaker 4: Then? Uh? 2965 02:27:07,800 --> 02:27:12,480 Speaker 1: Korean appropriation of blackness. This is from Useth, who says, ah, wait, 2966 02:27:13,120 --> 02:27:16,080 Speaker 1: what happened? Oh, he says, I wanted to point out 2967 02:27:16,120 --> 02:27:18,600 Speaker 1: there there's still a fair amount of racism for Koreans 2968 02:27:18,640 --> 02:27:21,960 Speaker 1: against black people. I'm a third degree black belt in taekwondo, 2969 02:27:22,280 --> 02:27:24,880 Speaker 1: and I have my I have my apartment in the 2970 02:27:25,640 --> 02:27:27,960 Speaker 1: English as a second language area of college with two 2971 02:27:28,040 --> 02:27:30,800 Speaker 1: Korean roommates. I've had chances to date to Korean but 2972 02:27:30,920 --> 02:27:33,920 Speaker 1: decided against it because I didn't want to mess things 2973 02:27:34,000 --> 02:27:36,199 Speaker 1: up with them when they go back. They are still 2974 02:27:36,280 --> 02:27:40,080 Speaker 1: pretty racially stiff. I'm not down for the gatekeeping, but 2975 02:27:40,200 --> 02:27:43,400 Speaker 1: I'm a little worn with from Aquafina and her mammy 2976 02:27:43,520 --> 02:27:47,480 Speaker 1: black scent, which she toned down for Sean. She I 2977 02:27:47,680 --> 02:27:50,640 Speaker 1: think that the examples you gave were black people that 2978 02:27:50,720 --> 02:27:53,360 Speaker 1: think agents are cool as hell as people like Wu 2979 02:27:53,440 --> 02:27:56,520 Speaker 1: Tang clan. I'm not sure that Koreans think they are 2980 02:27:56,680 --> 02:27:59,840 Speaker 1: cool the same way when they emulate us. Players like Hahn, 2981 02:28:00,240 --> 02:28:05,560 Speaker 1: water fighters like Benson Henderson might have different stories than Aquafina. Okay, youself, 2982 02:28:05,640 --> 02:28:08,840 Speaker 1: I fuck with you this this is I'm gonna go 2983 02:28:08,959 --> 02:28:11,520 Speaker 1: back through this and show you exactly where you contradicted yourself. 2984 02:28:12,080 --> 02:28:16,160 Speaker 1: You all one very telling. You use the word mammy 2985 02:28:16,240 --> 02:28:20,200 Speaker 1: black scent. You could call her accent a lot mammy. No, 2986 02:28:20,560 --> 02:28:26,560 Speaker 1: what mammy, that's that down South slave accent. That's she 2987 02:28:26,640 --> 02:28:29,880 Speaker 1: didn't have a mammy black scent. That's like you projecting 2988 02:28:29,959 --> 02:28:32,000 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to as a black person see the word 2989 02:28:32,120 --> 02:28:35,160 Speaker 1: mammy and they be triggered and be like, yeah, that bitch, 2990 02:28:35,760 --> 02:28:39,119 Speaker 1: But that's not what she's doing. And two, you didn't 2991 02:28:39,160 --> 02:28:41,200 Speaker 1: go on to talk about the hip hop and the 2992 02:28:41,240 --> 02:28:43,400 Speaker 1: Wu Tang clan and how they think Asians are cool, 2993 02:28:43,440 --> 02:28:47,440 Speaker 1: which is why they did that. Then under your rules, 2994 02:28:47,959 --> 02:28:50,520 Speaker 1: she should be allowed to do her hip hop black 2995 02:28:50,600 --> 02:28:54,119 Speaker 1: sent because she definitely did it because she thought black 2996 02:28:54,160 --> 02:28:58,360 Speaker 1: people were cool. There is no fucking way to isolate 2997 02:28:58,480 --> 02:29:02,680 Speaker 1: that from how to fuck she carries herself to a 2998 02:29:02,760 --> 02:29:04,640 Speaker 1: point where, like I said, a lot of us have 2999 02:29:04,720 --> 02:29:07,840 Speaker 1: been through this even as black people. You're carrying your way, 3000 02:29:08,040 --> 02:29:11,080 Speaker 1: in this stereotypical way or in this mask that is 3001 02:29:11,200 --> 02:29:14,560 Speaker 1: not one hundred percent yourself, partially because you think it's cool. 3002 02:29:15,440 --> 02:29:18,640 Speaker 1: You know, it's Eminem glombing on the hip hop when 3003 02:29:18,680 --> 02:29:22,200 Speaker 1: he was a weird fucking white kid from Detroit that 3004 02:29:22,440 --> 02:29:25,360 Speaker 1: at the time was socially awkward and all this stuff, 3005 02:29:25,400 --> 02:29:28,840 Speaker 1: and he found that he found a thing he could 3006 02:29:28,879 --> 02:29:31,320 Speaker 1: do that he could be good at, and it enabled 3007 02:29:31,360 --> 02:29:35,480 Speaker 1: him to find community through that. But that's not a 3008 02:29:35,600 --> 02:29:40,720 Speaker 1: story that is offensive to most people, Like it's something 3009 02:29:40,800 --> 02:29:43,200 Speaker 1: most people kind of understand. So I don't know. I 3010 02:29:43,280 --> 02:29:47,520 Speaker 1: think I think the way you worded it was specifically 3011 02:29:47,600 --> 02:29:51,160 Speaker 1: to try to like make it seem really racist and 3012 02:29:51,240 --> 02:29:53,480 Speaker 1: trigger us. And then the way you attached it to 3013 02:29:53,600 --> 02:29:57,480 Speaker 1: like and Korean people in general, they can have racial issues. 3014 02:29:57,640 --> 02:30:01,480 Speaker 1: Black people have racial issues with Asian people all the 3015 02:30:01,560 --> 02:30:05,040 Speaker 1: fucking time. Like it's like it's like we're trying to 3016 02:30:05,120 --> 02:30:07,400 Speaker 1: turn them into the white people, so we can just 3017 02:30:07,480 --> 02:30:09,080 Speaker 1: be like and that's why we hate them all. And 3018 02:30:09,160 --> 02:30:13,119 Speaker 1: I'm like, no, it's not the same, And it doesn't 3019 02:30:13,160 --> 02:30:16,120 Speaker 1: excuse any racist shit from like a Korean store owner 3020 02:30:16,680 --> 02:30:17,440 Speaker 1: or any of that shit. 3021 02:30:17,520 --> 02:30:18,879 Speaker 2: Either doesn't make that okay. 3022 02:30:19,200 --> 02:30:22,360 Speaker 1: It's not reasonable or any of that shit. But it's 3023 02:30:22,440 --> 02:30:24,840 Speaker 1: a separate issue from this in my opinion. 3024 02:30:25,920 --> 02:30:30,480 Speaker 4: And also the thing is Akofina ben stopped the accent, 3025 02:30:30,680 --> 02:30:33,320 Speaker 4: like you know, you act like she just changed it 3026 02:30:33,480 --> 02:30:37,640 Speaker 4: up when she did unk. She like she stopped that 3027 02:30:37,760 --> 02:30:40,560 Speaker 4: a while ago, and people aren't actually acknowledging that. 3028 02:30:41,040 --> 02:30:44,520 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's so funny because she didn't make the art. 3029 02:30:44,640 --> 02:30:47,880 Speaker 1: She never made the argument. I can't stop it. I 3030 02:30:47,959 --> 02:30:50,560 Speaker 1: can't help myself. What happened I think was a lot 3031 02:30:50,600 --> 02:30:52,920 Speaker 1: of people that wanted to defend her made the argument 3032 02:30:53,080 --> 02:30:56,280 Speaker 1: like maybe that's just how she talked or whatever, and 3033 02:30:56,360 --> 02:30:59,400 Speaker 1: they were trying to defend her, and it really that 3034 02:30:59,520 --> 02:31:02,360 Speaker 1: was a huge missed up because the truth of the 3035 02:31:02,440 --> 02:31:05,000 Speaker 1: matter is she can change how you talk because she's 3036 02:31:05,000 --> 02:31:08,039 Speaker 1: a fucking actress, the same way Chad with Boseman can 3037 02:31:08,120 --> 02:31:11,080 Speaker 1: change how you talk depending on the role. I think 3038 02:31:11,320 --> 02:31:14,320 Speaker 1: Aquafina is named Aquafina because it is a fucking character. 3039 02:31:14,440 --> 02:31:18,200 Speaker 1: Her real name is Nora like And there's rappers and 3040 02:31:18,360 --> 02:31:21,840 Speaker 1: singers who have done characters to make music careers. It 3041 02:31:21,840 --> 02:31:26,720 Speaker 1: happens all the time. I bet you uh the Beyonce 3042 02:31:27,040 --> 02:31:29,960 Speaker 1: I'm Sosha fears you know what I mean, I can't 3043 02:31:30,000 --> 02:31:32,280 Speaker 1: remember that track that that country dude that did is 3044 02:31:32,959 --> 02:31:36,320 Speaker 1: like childish Gambino was essentially a character and not Donald 3045 02:31:36,320 --> 02:31:39,360 Speaker 1: Glover when he started. So, you know, I'm just like 3046 02:31:39,440 --> 02:31:41,080 Speaker 1: I said, man, I just feel like we're moving the 3047 02:31:41,160 --> 02:31:45,720 Speaker 1: thing and it's becoming stuck about her.

Every time we worked out, 3092 02:34:01,440 --> 02:34:04,200 Speaker 1: this crew of me head Korean guys rolled up on 3093 02:34:04,320 --> 02:34:06,880 Speaker 1: him and called him fat. Every time.

He is better than reacted, so 3100 02:34:24,320 --> 02:34:27,240 Speaker 1: I can't be mad at Aqua lol. Also, she is 3101 02:34:27,320 --> 02:34:29,720 Speaker 1: half Chinese, half Korean.
