1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:06,360 Speaker 1: Okay, here's the thing that shouldn't be laughing. Multiple things 2 00:00:06,400 --> 00:00:09,200 Speaker 1: can be true at the same time, am I lion 3 00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:16,040 Speaker 1: Eyron lion? Look, things can be both funny and tragic, right. 4 00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:21,119 Speaker 1: The things are like that all the time. Sometimes you 5 00:00:21,160 --> 00:00:25,120 Speaker 1: can use humor to understand tragedy or to process your 6 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:27,800 Speaker 1: your trauma. Sometimes you use it to hide it. Other 7 00:00:27,880 --> 00:00:33,120 Speaker 1: times it's just the fact that multiple conflicting things are 8 00:00:33,240 --> 00:00:43,120 Speaker 1: both true. And today this is Friday, September eight, which 9 00:00:43,200 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 1: is simultaneously the day the world lost historical icon and 10 00:00:52,159 --> 00:00:56,960 Speaker 1: one of the greatest days on Twitter. Ever, this is 11 00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:01,960 Speaker 1: up there with the Nigger Navy. So two things are true, 12 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:08,000 Speaker 1: multiple things are true. A elderly woman peacefully passed in 13 00:01:08,120 --> 00:01:13,840 Speaker 1: her sleep who was loved by millions, a devoted wife. Uh. 14 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:17,720 Speaker 1: I don't know anything about her motherhood, but her kids 15 00:01:17,720 --> 00:01:19,760 Speaker 1: seemed to love her grandkids, you know, though she had 16 00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: great cand kids. She was loved by many and and 17 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: was an integral part to a lot of people's lives. 18 00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,280 Speaker 1: And I'm sure a lot of people really cared about her. 19 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:37,200 Speaker 1: She was also a symbol of national pride, or the 20 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:43,839 Speaker 1: longest living symbol that these people have had. And since 21 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: she is the symbol of this monarch. By y'all's creation, 22 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: she is the symbol of six hundred years of colonialism, 23 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:59,680 Speaker 1: of pain and suffering that has happened to the diaspora 24 00:01:59,840 --> 00:02:04,240 Speaker 1: of seasoned food people everywhere. And if you know anything 25 00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:08,120 Speaker 1: about people that season the food, we're gonna get our 26 00:02:08,240 --> 00:02:13,480 Speaker 1: jokes off. They are both true. Listen. The only queen 27 00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:28,560 Speaker 1: we recognizes Queen Latifa, her politics. Y'all all right, So 28 00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:31,640 Speaker 1: I'm gonna interrupt my normal flow of content that I 29 00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,440 Speaker 1: usually try to stack in my my rule about waiting 30 00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:37,000 Speaker 1: and not just dropping hot takes, but gathering information and 31 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,160 Speaker 1: stuff like that. Uh, because there are some moments that 32 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,200 Speaker 1: are just so perfect and need to be spoken on 33 00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:53,440 Speaker 1: immediately now for for this to make sense to you 34 00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,640 Speaker 1: as to why this needs to be a whole episode. 35 00:02:55,960 --> 00:02:58,880 Speaker 1: There are a few things you need to understand as 36 00:02:59,280 --> 00:03:04,000 Speaker 1: your primary as your background information. One of those things is, Listen, 37 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: I can't stress this enough. There are a few things 38 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:08,200 Speaker 1: that black people take very serious that you don't know. 39 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,960 Speaker 1: One thing you know about black people is we're gonna 40 00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:14,000 Speaker 1: roast you. If you need roasted, it's gonna happen. We 41 00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:17,839 Speaker 1: take our music and our food very serious. We take 42 00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 1: our meals very serious. You need to make sure you 43 00:03:20,080 --> 00:03:22,919 Speaker 1: cook that chicken, clean that chicken. We take our hygiene 44 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:26,600 Speaker 1: very serious. You know what I'm saying. Uh, they make 45 00:03:26,639 --> 00:03:28,799 Speaker 1: babies wear hats because you're afraid they're gonna be cold. 46 00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: We love Queen Latifa and we love Princess Diana. I 47 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:35,280 Speaker 1: just I don't know. I don't make the rules. That's 48 00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: just what it is. But you need to understand what 49 00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 1: actually happened and why that was so significant to all 50 00:03:45,080 --> 00:03:48,160 Speaker 1: of us across the world. You also need to understand 51 00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,120 Speaker 1: black people, and you understand to understand the phenomenon of 52 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:56,839 Speaker 1: black Twitter when Okay, these things have to be understood 53 00:03:57,240 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: to understand why I can't keep a straight faced right now, 54 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:02,000 Speaker 1: because this was one of the greatest days ever because 55 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: it felt like Captain Planet, like it felt like Voltron 56 00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 1: of Jokes where black people, African, Indian, Irish, like Central 57 00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:24,120 Speaker 1: and South American all got together and was just roasting 58 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,040 Speaker 1: foods and it was like almost like in in competition 59 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:31,840 Speaker 1: as to how bad we could roast this lady. But 60 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: here's what I hate is that it's not really about 61 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:39,799 Speaker 1: this lady. That's only the catalyst of it. So let's 62 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:42,599 Speaker 1: get into this to understand how we work, why we 63 00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,320 Speaker 1: feel the way we feel, and why this is so important, 64 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 1: why this is the actual news. Yea, already, let's go though. 65 00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth, the longest living monarch in the British Empire's history, 66 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:21,200 Speaker 1: ninety six years years old, kids, grandkids, great grandkids, great 67 00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:26,520 Speaker 1: great grandkids. She didn't seen a plethora of presidents all 68 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:28,880 Speaker 1: the way back to Roosevelt. They said, the only president 69 00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: she ain't meet is Truman. So she's been around. Now. 70 00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,599 Speaker 1: If you understand how the crown works out there in 71 00:05:35,600 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: the UK, this is what I'm talking about. The Queen Elizabeth, 72 00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:43,480 Speaker 1: the Queen of England. How that, how that monarchy works 73 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: is like there, it's all symbolic. They don't have actual power, 74 00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 1: the Prime Minister in the Parliament, they actually run the country. 75 00:05:52,360 --> 00:05:56,680 Speaker 1: She is the symbolic figurehead, right are the royal family. 76 00:05:56,800 --> 00:06:00,480 Speaker 1: So that's like Prince Charles. You know, lady died before 77 00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 1: she passed away, Charles and William Kate Middleton we married her, 78 00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:09,640 Speaker 1: and of course the Duchess of Sussex. Nuck if you buckets, uh, 79 00:06:09,760 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: Megan Markle, you know, um, the sister from Inglewood that 80 00:06:14,279 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: abdicated her and her her and Prince Harry advocated. But 81 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:23,680 Speaker 1: so this family, they're completely supported financially by the state. 82 00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,599 Speaker 1: They don't work. They just do symbolic stuff. It's all diplomatic. 83 00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,719 Speaker 1: It's all pomping circumstances. Now, that doesn't mean it's not important. 84 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:35,680 Speaker 1: Symbols are important, Like we understand that, and if you, 85 00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: I mean a lot of us may understand. It's like 86 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: in our own families, right, Like you know, Granny may 87 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,400 Speaker 1: not have no actual say, but when Granny come in 88 00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,880 Speaker 1: the room, everybody respect her. Maybe she too old to 89 00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 1: have an actual say, you know what I'm saying, But 90 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: her presence is that important, you feel me. So I'm 91 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: not dragging them about that, Like I get it. Symbolic power, 92 00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 1: you know, versus is actual authority, you know, flying a 93 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 1: flag like a bandanna, blue bandanna, red bandanna, Like it's 94 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: a symbol. They don't have no actual power, you feel me. 95 00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:17,120 Speaker 1: It's a symbol. So she is for them, culturally speaking, 96 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:25,240 Speaker 1: the symbol of England the UK, like their their nationality, right. 97 00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: And why this is so important to Hammerhone is because 98 00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:31,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember the episode we did 99 00:07:31,920 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: about like world powers in the New World Orders and 100 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:39,680 Speaker 1: stuff like that, like how great Britain was so on 101 00:07:39,840 --> 00:07:43,160 Speaker 1: top for so long, right, and that there's a saying 102 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: that said, you know, the sun never said on the 103 00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,680 Speaker 1: British Empire. You know how many colonies they have you 104 00:07:47,720 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: know what I mean, places they've called y'all, there's only 105 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: twenty two countries in the world that they haven't invaded. 106 00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,720 Speaker 1: Like that's what you got. Listen to me that that's 107 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: not two countries that's invaded. There's only twenty two left 108 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:08,800 Speaker 1: that they didn't invade. Like then little teeny Island took 109 00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: it upon itselves to say, hey, what's gonna be? I mean, 110 00:08:11,920 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: like this is some marvel Villain type empire. British has 111 00:08:18,040 --> 00:08:23,920 Speaker 1: invaded of the country's on Earth. Like, are y'all listening 112 00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:27,800 Speaker 1: to me? So? So when history says, you know, the 113 00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: sun never said on the British Empire, because listen, Canada 114 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:35,320 Speaker 1: is it? Do you understand that they under the crown? 115 00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 1: What are you talking about the whole No, it's a 116 00:08:39,400 --> 00:08:44,160 Speaker 1: Canada is a British Are y'all listening to me? Now? 117 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:48,160 Speaker 1: Of course, as America we're wanting to talk. You know 118 00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 1: what I'm saying? They just have had a millennials worth 119 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,280 Speaker 1: ahead start on us. But the point I'm trying to 120 00:08:55,320 --> 00:09:02,560 Speaker 1: make is that that empire has touched, I mean, all 121 00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:07,960 Speaker 1: every corner of the world, but it wasn't necessarily for good. 122 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 1: Now that being said, uh, do we love a downtown abbey? 123 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,480 Speaker 1: Do we love a you know what I mean? A 124 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: TV show set in Victorian you know, Britain where the 125 00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,800 Speaker 1: monarchs talked together, and just do we love us? Are 126 00:09:23,880 --> 00:09:26,200 Speaker 1: war and pieces? You know what I'm saying. Like, of 127 00:09:26,280 --> 00:09:31,240 Speaker 1: course all the popping circumstance makes for great entertainment, you know. 128 00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:35,400 Speaker 1: And then the bizarro world one that had the black 129 00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:39,319 Speaker 1: people and the colored people as British monarchs, that took 130 00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,000 Speaker 1: over the Internet for a while, was at Bridgerton. Is 131 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,600 Speaker 1: that what that mug was called. I just couldn't I 132 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:47,440 Speaker 1: just I don't know. I just couldn't feel like I 133 00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,920 Speaker 1: could go there and just kind of play dress up 134 00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,800 Speaker 1: as the slave master. Now I'm not listen, this is 135 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:54,360 Speaker 1: just me. That's just the way I felt about I 136 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: couldn't even watch Twelve Years of Slave I was like, 137 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:58,199 Speaker 1: the last thing I want to see on this television 138 00:09:58,880 --> 00:10:02,520 Speaker 1: in these movies is my people suffering. I just I don't. 139 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:07,120 Speaker 1: It's not entertaining. And listen, if you listen to the 140 00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,680 Speaker 1: episode we did on Behind the Bastards about the potato 141 00:10:09,720 --> 00:10:14,080 Speaker 1: plight in in Ireland, did you you know, I think 142 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: you might understand what Irish Twitter is doing right now. Now, 143 00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: all that being said, it's not like Queen Elizabeth herself 144 00:10:23,200 --> 00:10:26,280 Speaker 1: is at fault for any of these things. I mean, 145 00:10:26,400 --> 00:10:28,680 Speaker 1: of course not. She was a part of a much 146 00:10:28,760 --> 00:10:33,640 Speaker 1: larger system, a generation of feelings and beliefs that you 147 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,800 Speaker 1: can just conquer lands you get on right, And it's 148 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: not like she's the only one of that part of 149 00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:44,959 Speaker 1: the world. You know, Spain, Portugal, France, everybody was getting 150 00:10:45,120 --> 00:10:48,000 Speaker 1: invade on. You know, it was the age of imperialism. 151 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:53,280 Speaker 1: We all get it. So she's not singular in that 152 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,319 Speaker 1: she's not also at fault, just like you know, a 153 00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,079 Speaker 1: little white kids saying, well, it wasn't my fault. I 154 00:11:00,160 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: never bought slaves of Okay, yeah, you're right. I don't 155 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:07,520 Speaker 1: think anybody's saying you are. But when it comes to 156 00:11:08,800 --> 00:11:11,680 Speaker 1: the slave thing, you you don't act like you're not 157 00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:15,680 Speaker 1: benefiting from years of the system stacked in your favor, 158 00:11:15,840 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 1: you know, like, let's not I mean, let's not be 159 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:20,760 Speaker 1: delusional about it, you know what I'm saying, Like, you know, 160 00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: obviously in a on an individual standpoint, there's things why 161 00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:28,760 Speaker 1: intersectionality is so important to understand that class and race 162 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: and religion are intersectional things that you know, sometimes classism 163 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: and racism overlaps, sometimes they don't. They're not the same thing. 164 00:11:36,120 --> 00:11:39,680 Speaker 1: Were told. I understand that why because I studied critical 165 00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: race theory anyway, So in the same way that, yeah, 166 00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:50,079 Speaker 1: you're right, the royals and the immaterial concept and state 167 00:11:50,320 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: of Great Britain has immensely benefit y'all. Like, okay, that 168 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: Britain didn't they didn't season their food. You got spices 169 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:07,240 Speaker 1: from India, like y'all, you know what I'm saying. Like, 170 00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:13,320 Speaker 1: there's just everything about what y'all benefited from. Again, remember 171 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: I'm talking the concept of Great bra I haven't even 172 00:12:15,280 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: gotten to the people like you want to go to 173 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 1: the Royal Museum, you know what I'm saying, Where it's 174 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,800 Speaker 1: just stuff from all over the world that you collected 175 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:26,160 Speaker 1: in a museum. I mean, not that's just you. You 176 00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:28,959 Speaker 1: pillaged our villages, you know what I'm saying, and it 177 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:31,280 Speaker 1: put them in a museum and was like, hey, look 178 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,120 Speaker 1: at these amazing things we found. You didn't find them, 179 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:43,280 Speaker 1: fam Okay, So anyway, it is not her herself that 180 00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:49,360 Speaker 1: is responsible for all these things. However, according to y'all's words, 181 00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:54,679 Speaker 1: you you can air quote my yaws, she is the 182 00:12:54,720 --> 00:12:59,880 Speaker 1: symbol of the monarch. She is the figurehead of the tradition. 183 00:13:00,240 --> 00:13:02,240 Speaker 1: We ain't make her that, no way us made her 184 00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:07,439 Speaker 1: that y'all did. So it was almost like, if you 185 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: don't notice, you inadvertently put all the way to the 186 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:14,800 Speaker 1: Hood and everything the Hood has done on that one person. 187 00:13:15,080 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: Y'all said that, not us. So you you made her. 188 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,280 Speaker 1: You made her to think, oh they so all this, 189 00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:25,760 Speaker 1: that's that's you. The reason why, the reason why we 190 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 1: our family and the Caribbeans, the reason why all of 191 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:32,200 Speaker 1: Central and South America looked the way and look, the 192 00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,120 Speaker 1: reason why India and Pakistan is our two different countries. 193 00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:38,439 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. The reason So you didn't 194 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:42,160 Speaker 1: put all this, y'all said, she was the symbol of it, 195 00:13:43,880 --> 00:13:47,480 Speaker 1: all right, and this symbols so cold. They've been up 196 00:13:47,520 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 1: so much so that even Ireland got jokes. It's not 197 00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:56,240 Speaker 1: just melonated folks, it's other white people got jokes. Because 198 00:13:56,240 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: you said she was the symbol. Y'all made her that Again. 199 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,080 Speaker 1: I can't stress us enough. Two things can be true. 200 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 1: Of course, it's tragic, but like we told you before, 201 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:45,680 Speaker 1: it could die every day. Let's take a break. Okay, 202 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:49,640 Speaker 1: now we're back. There's things you need to understand, not 203 00:14:49,760 --> 00:14:53,800 Speaker 1: just about black people but in turn black twitter. One 204 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:56,280 Speaker 1: thing you need to know about black people is we 205 00:14:56,440 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: really loved Princess Diana White. We were old for her. 206 00:15:01,040 --> 00:15:04,560 Speaker 1: Like I don't know if y'all understand how sad black 207 00:15:04,560 --> 00:15:10,920 Speaker 1: people were when Princess Diana past, because she was a 208 00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:15,000 Speaker 1: real one. She was a regular girl, you know what 209 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,480 Speaker 1: I'm saying. She was a girl of the people. When 210 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 1: she pulled up to the city, it was very different 211 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:21,920 Speaker 1: the way she treated her that she was a humanitarian, 212 00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: she was environmentalist. She was really really trying to work 213 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:31,280 Speaker 1: out and undo a lot of the history that you know, 214 00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:35,200 Speaker 1: her in laws had done. She was like a real one. 215 00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,920 Speaker 1: She married this prince who clearly ain't love her. He 216 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 1: had a side checked the all time that was the 217 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: real chick. And you know what, and we all knew 218 00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:49,720 Speaker 1: her mom ain't like her. We knew that, we knew 219 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:52,000 Speaker 1: the queen and them name't like her. She was a commoner. 220 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:55,480 Speaker 1: We was like, well, we like her, she could we 221 00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: like her? So, Uh, if Twitter was a low life 222 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,400 Speaker 1: when Princess Diana passed, this would be a totally different story. 223 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,920 Speaker 1: Black people like Princess because she like sheer real with 224 00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:12,320 Speaker 1: black people like queens. We just like Queen Latifa. So 225 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,200 Speaker 1: when you heard when we heard the news that the 226 00:16:15,280 --> 00:16:17,560 Speaker 1: queen has passed, we thought it was Latifa, was like, Lord, 227 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: say it ain't so why because she's a real one. 228 00:16:21,560 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 1: Queen Latifa, a rider.

So when 332 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: stuff go down, like when the Duchess of Sussex, uh, 333 00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,480 Speaker 1: Megan Marco actually ended up, you know, marrying that white 334 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:27,119 Speaker 1: boy and doing it that, we was proud. I was like, 335 00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:30,960 Speaker 1: ohhead on Inglewood, you know what I'm saying. And then 336 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: they called her the Duchess of Sussex. So we thought, 337 00:22:33,400 --> 00:22:37,159 Speaker 1: knock if you buck, and we just made it the 338 00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,800 Speaker 1: thing knock g if you book, nook if you book 339 00:22:40,880 --> 00:22:44,600 Speaker 1: you And it's like it just takes levels to understand 340 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:48,679 Speaker 1: because we're immersed. We are already bicultural. We're immersed in 341 00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,359 Speaker 1: our own culture, and we're immersed in dominant culture. Not 342 00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: just what comes with being and oppressed people. You just 343 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,800 Speaker 1: have to be. You just have to have a double consciousness. Now, 344 00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:02,080 Speaker 1: this isn't unique to Black people. Eyesight Foods Gone Wild 345 00:23:02,240 --> 00:23:07,320 Speaker 1: the one of the greatest meme accounts in the history 346 00:23:07,320 --> 00:23:11,520 Speaker 1: of meme accounts. It's Chicano, it's Solo, it's it's Mexican. 347 00:23:12,600 --> 00:23:15,240 Speaker 1: They created their own world and they know their own jokes. 348 00:23:15,240 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: So when they're getting jokes, they got their own version 349 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:22,280 Speaker 1: of hood politics that's specific to them. And it's funny. 350 00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,160 Speaker 1: I tapped in with them, dudes, because I get it. 351 00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:27,400 Speaker 1: I lived on that side of town, but that's their language. 352 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:30,600 Speaker 1: I'm tapped in because I know them. So they create 353 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,959 Speaker 1: their own world and they deal with things their own way, 354 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,159 Speaker 1: and when stuff gets out, if you don't know what 355 00:23:36,200 --> 00:23:43,520 Speaker 1: you're looking at, you may think wrongly about it. But 356 00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:47,760 Speaker 1: black Twitter is a cultural phenomenon that I don't know 357 00:23:47,800 --> 00:23:51,200 Speaker 1: if this will ever be repeated anywhere else this moment 358 00:23:51,240 --> 00:23:54,399 Speaker 1: in time, because it's like it's the entire diaspora of 359 00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: black people are at one barbecue and we're just all 360 00:23:56,880 --> 00:23:59,119 Speaker 1: having fun. We're at the same spades, they were at 361 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:04,080 Speaker 1: the same dominoes and experiencing things in real time, and 362 00:24:04,119 --> 00:24:08,399 Speaker 1: we're able to just you know how black people laugh, 363 00:24:08,520 --> 00:24:12,399 Speaker 1: you know how we laugh, We loud, we extra like 364 00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:17,560 Speaker 1: that's just it's just us and and it's that online. 365 00:24:19,520 --> 00:24:23,760 Speaker 1: But why was this particular one so special? Coming up next? 366 00:24:49,920 --> 00:24:53,560 Speaker 1: All right? Why this one was so special was because 367 00:24:55,160 --> 00:25:08,840 Speaker 1: it was almost like avengers of melanated people plus the Irish. 368 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 1: Why did we combine our powers like this is because 369 00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:22,399 Speaker 1: we've all been affected brutally by the British Empire. And 370 00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:29,160 Speaker 1: like I said before, y'all made her the figurehead of colonialism. 371 00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,399 Speaker 1: Somebody sent me a tweet and y'all go dragged this 372 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:38,480 Speaker 1: dude if you want to.

This man tweets said, the death of 375 00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:49,600 Speaker 1: the Queen feels weighty because it marks the passing of 376 00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:59,639 Speaker 1: not of a woman, but of a world. Bread I 377 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:03,919 Speaker 1: mean your mouth to God's ears. I hope it is 378 00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:07,679 Speaker 1: the ending of a world, the world that's been shaped 379 00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,840 Speaker 1: by imperialism, that the global South has been raped and 380 00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:14,600 Speaker 1: pillaged for its resources. Not only not only will come 381 00:26:14,600 --> 00:26:18,440 Speaker 1: out the earth, but the human ones themselves, the Transatlantic 382 00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: slave trade. FAMI, Like, are you serious? Like, man, I 383 00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:26,199 Speaker 1: hope it is. I hope it is the symbolic end. 384 00:26:26,960 --> 00:26:30,560 Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We were having two different experiences.
