Speaker 1: Okay, here's the thing that shouldn't be laughing. Multiple things
Speaker 1: can be true at the same time, am I lion
Speaker 1: Eyron lion? Look, things can be both funny and tragic, right.
Speaker 1: The things are like that all the time. Sometimes you
Speaker 1: can use humor to understand tragedy or to process your
Speaker 1: your trauma. Sometimes you use it to hide it. Other
Speaker 1: times it's just the fact that multiple conflicting things are
Speaker 1: both true. And today this is Friday, September eight, which
Speaker 1: is simultaneously the day the world lost historical icon and
Speaker 1: one of the greatest days on Twitter. Ever, this is
Speaker 1: up there with the Nigger Navy. So two things are true,
Speaker 1: multiple things are true. A elderly woman peacefully passed in
Speaker 1: her sleep who was loved by millions, a devoted wife. Uh.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about her motherhood, but her kids
Speaker 1: seemed to love her grandkids, you know, though she had
Speaker 1: great cand kids. She was loved by many and and
Speaker 1: was an integral part to a lot of people's lives.
Speaker 1: And I'm sure a lot of people really cared about her.
Speaker 1: She was also a symbol of national pride, or the
Speaker 1: longest living symbol that these people have had. And since
Speaker 1: she is the symbol of this monarch. By y'all's creation,
Speaker 1: she is the symbol of six hundred years of colonialism,
Speaker 1: of pain and suffering that has happened to the diaspora
Speaker 1: of seasoned food people everywhere. And if you know anything
Speaker 1: about people that season the food, we're gonna get our
Speaker 1: jokes off. They are both true. Listen. The only queen
Speaker 1: we recognizes Queen Latifa, her politics. Y'all all right, So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna interrupt my normal flow of content that I
Speaker 1: usually try to stack in my my rule about waiting
Speaker 1: and not just dropping hot takes, but gathering information and
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Uh, because there are some moments that
Speaker 1: are just so perfect and need to be spoken on
Speaker 1: immediately now for for this to make sense to you
Speaker 1: as to why this needs to be a whole episode.
Speaker 1: There are a few things you need to understand as
Speaker 1: your primary as your background information. One of those things is, Listen,
Speaker 1: I can't stress this enough. There are a few things
Speaker 1: that black people take very serious that you don't know.
Speaker 1: One thing you know about black people is we're gonna
Speaker 1: roast you. If you need roasted, it's gonna happen. We
Speaker 1: take our music and our food very serious. We take
Speaker 1: our meals very serious. You need to make sure you
Speaker 1: cook that chicken, clean that chicken. We take our hygiene
Speaker 1: very serious. You know what I'm saying. Uh, they make
Speaker 1: babies wear hats because you're afraid they're gonna be cold.
Speaker 1: We love Queen Latifa and we love Princess Diana. I
Speaker 1: just I don't know. I don't make the rules. That's
Speaker 1: just what it is. But you need to understand what
Speaker 1: actually happened and why that was so significant to all
Speaker 1: of us across the world. You also need to understand
Speaker 1: black people, and you understand to understand the phenomenon of
Speaker 1: black Twitter when Okay, these things have to be understood
Speaker 1: to understand why I can't keep a straight faced right now,
Speaker 1: because this was one of the greatest days ever because
Speaker 1: it felt like Captain Planet, like it felt like Voltron
Speaker 1: of Jokes where black people, African, Indian, Irish, like Central
Speaker 1: and South American all got together and was just roasting
Speaker 1: foods and it was like almost like in in competition
Speaker 1: as to how bad we could roast this lady. But
Speaker 1: here's what I hate is that it's not really about
Speaker 1: this lady. That's only the catalyst of it. So let's
Speaker 1: get into this to understand how we work, why we
Speaker 1: feel the way we feel, and why this is so important,
Speaker 1: why this is the actual news. Yea, already, let's go though.
Speaker 1: Queen Elizabeth, the longest living monarch in the British Empire's history,
Speaker 1: ninety six years years old, kids, grandkids, great grandkids, great
Speaker 1: great grandkids. She didn't seen a plethora of presidents all
Speaker 1: the way back to Roosevelt. They said, the only president
Speaker 1: she ain't meet is Truman. So she's been around. Now.
Speaker 1: If you understand how the crown works out there in
Speaker 1: the UK, this is what I'm talking about. The Queen Elizabeth,
Speaker 1: the Queen of England. How that, how that monarchy works
Speaker 1: is like there, it's all symbolic. They don't have actual power,
Speaker 1: the Prime Minister in the Parliament, they actually run the country.
Speaker 1: She is the symbolic figurehead, right are the royal family.
Speaker 1: So that's like Prince Charles. You know, lady died before
Speaker 1: she passed away, Charles and William Kate Middleton we married her,
Speaker 1: and of course the Duchess of Sussex. Nuck if you buckets, uh,
Speaker 1: Megan Markle, you know, um, the sister from Inglewood that
Speaker 1: abdicated her and her her and Prince Harry advocated. But
Speaker 1: so this family, they're completely supported financially by the state.
Speaker 1: They don't work. They just do symbolic stuff. It's all diplomatic.
Speaker 1: It's all pomping circumstances. Now, that doesn't mean it's not important.
Speaker 1: Symbols are important, Like we understand that, and if you,
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of us may understand. It's like
Speaker 1: in our own families, right, Like you know, Granny may
Speaker 1: not have no actual say, but when Granny come in
Speaker 1: the room, everybody respect her. Maybe she too old to
Speaker 1: have an actual say, you know what I'm saying, But
Speaker 1: her presence is that important, you feel me. So I'm
Speaker 1: not dragging them about that, Like I get it. Symbolic power,
Speaker 1: you know, versus is actual authority, you know, flying a
Speaker 1: flag like a bandanna, blue bandanna, red bandanna, Like it's
Speaker 1: a symbol. They don't have no actual power, you feel me.
Speaker 1: It's a symbol. So she is for them, culturally speaking,
Speaker 1: the symbol of England the UK, like their their nationality, right.
Speaker 1: And why this is so important to Hammerhone is because
Speaker 1: I don't know if you remember the episode we did
Speaker 1: about like world powers in the New World Orders and
Speaker 1: stuff like that, like how great Britain was so on
Speaker 1: top for so long, right, and that there's a saying
Speaker 1: that said, you know, the sun never said on the
Speaker 1: British Empire. You know how many colonies they have you
Speaker 1: know what I mean, places they've called y'all, there's only
Speaker 1: twenty two countries in the world that they haven't invaded.
Speaker 1: Like that's what you got. Listen to me that that's
Speaker 1: not two countries that's invaded. There's only twenty two left
Speaker 1: that they didn't invade. Like then little teeny Island took
Speaker 1: it upon itselves to say, hey, what's gonna be? I mean,
Speaker 1: like this is some marvel Villain type empire. British has
Speaker 1: invaded of the country's on Earth. Like, are y'all listening
Speaker 1: to me? So? So when history says, you know, the
Speaker 1: sun never said on the British Empire, because listen, Canada
Speaker 1: is it? Do you understand that they under the crown?
Speaker 1: What are you talking about the whole No, it's a
Speaker 1: Canada is a British Are y'all listening to me? Now?
Speaker 1: Of course, as America we're wanting to talk. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying? They just have had a millennials worth
Speaker 1: ahead start on us. But the point I'm trying to
Speaker 1: make is that that empire has touched, I mean, all
Speaker 1: every corner of the world, but it wasn't necessarily for good.
Speaker 1: Now that being said, uh, do we love a downtown abbey?
Speaker 1: Do we love a you know what I mean? A
Speaker 1: TV show set in Victorian you know, Britain where the
Speaker 1: monarchs talked together, and just do we love us? Are
Speaker 1: war and pieces? You know what I'm saying. Like, of
Speaker 1: course all the popping circumstance makes for great entertainment, you know.
Speaker 1: And then the bizarro world one that had the black
Speaker 1: people and the colored people as British monarchs, that took
Speaker 1: over the Internet for a while, was at Bridgerton. Is
Speaker 1: that what that mug was called. I just couldn't I
Speaker 1: just I don't know. I just couldn't feel like I
Speaker 1: could go there and just kind of play dress up
Speaker 1: as the slave master. Now I'm not listen, this is
Speaker 1: just me. That's just the way I felt about I
Speaker 1: couldn't even watch Twelve Years of Slave I was like,
Speaker 1: the last thing I want to see on this television
Speaker 1: in these movies is my people suffering. I just I don't.
Speaker 1: It's not entertaining. And listen, if you listen to the
Speaker 1: episode we did on Behind the Bastards about the potato
Speaker 1: plight in in Ireland, did you you know, I think
Speaker 1: you might understand what Irish Twitter is doing right now. Now,
Speaker 1: all that being said, it's not like Queen Elizabeth herself
Speaker 1: is at fault for any of these things. I mean,
Speaker 1: of course not. She was a part of a much
Speaker 1: larger system, a generation of feelings and beliefs that you
Speaker 1: can just conquer lands you get on right, And it's
Speaker 1: not like she's the only one of that part of
Speaker 1: the world. You know, Spain, Portugal, France, everybody was getting
Speaker 1: invade on. You know, it was the age of imperialism.
Speaker 1: We all get it. So she's not singular in that
Speaker 1: she's not also at fault, just like you know, a
Speaker 1: little white kids saying, well, it wasn't my fault. I
Speaker 1: never bought slaves of Okay, yeah, you're right. I don't
Speaker 1: think anybody's saying you are. But when it comes to
Speaker 1: the slave thing, you you don't act like you're not
Speaker 1: benefiting from years of the system stacked in your favor,
Speaker 1: you know, like, let's not I mean, let's not be
Speaker 1: delusional about it, you know what I'm saying, Like, you know,
Speaker 1: obviously in a on an individual standpoint, there's things why
Speaker 1: intersectionality is so important to understand that class and race
Speaker 1: and religion are intersectional things that you know, sometimes classism
Speaker 1: and racism overlaps, sometimes they don't. They're not the same thing.
Speaker 1: Were told. I understand that why because I studied critical
Speaker 1: race theory anyway, So in the same way that, yeah,
Speaker 1: you're right, the royals and the immaterial concept and state
Speaker 1: of Great Britain has immensely benefit y'all. Like, okay, that
Speaker 1: Britain didn't they didn't season their food. You got spices
Speaker 1: from India, like y'all, you know what I'm saying. Like,
Speaker 1: there's just everything about what y'all benefited from. Again, remember
Speaker 1: I'm talking the concept of Great bra I haven't even
Speaker 1: gotten to the people like you want to go to
Speaker 1: the Royal Museum, you know what I'm saying, Where it's
Speaker 1: just stuff from all over the world that you collected
Speaker 1: in a museum. I mean, not that's just you. You
Speaker 1: pillaged our villages, you know what I'm saying, and it
Speaker 1: put them in a museum and was like, hey, look
Speaker 1: at these amazing things we found. You didn't find them,
Speaker 1: fam Okay, So anyway, it is not her herself that
Speaker 1: is responsible for all these things. However, according to y'all's words,
Speaker 1: you you can air quote my yaws, she is the
Speaker 1: symbol of the monarch. She is the figurehead of the tradition.
Speaker 1: We ain't make her that, no way us made her
Speaker 1: that y'all did. So it was almost like, if you
Speaker 1: don't notice, you inadvertently put all the way to the
Speaker 1: Hood and everything the Hood has done on that one person.
Speaker 1: Y'all said that, not us. So you you made her.
Speaker 1: You made her to think, oh they so all this,
Speaker 1: that's that's you. The reason why, the reason why we
Speaker 1: our family and the Caribbeans, the reason why all of
Speaker 1: Central and South America looked the way and look, the
Speaker 1: reason why India and Pakistan is our two different countries.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. The reason So you didn't
Speaker 1: put all this, y'all said, she was the symbol of it,
Speaker 1: all right, and this symbols so cold. They've been up
Speaker 1: so much so that even Ireland got jokes. It's not
Speaker 1: just melonated folks, it's other white people got jokes. Because
Speaker 1: you said she was the symbol. Y'all made her that Again.
Speaker 1: I can't stress us enough. Two things can be true.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's tragic, but like we told you before,
Speaker 1: it could die every day. Let's take a break. Okay,
Speaker 1: now we're back. There's things you need to understand, not
Speaker 1: just about black people but in turn black twitter. One
Speaker 1: thing you need to know about black people is we
Speaker 1: really loved Princess Diana White. We were old for her.
Speaker 1: Like I don't know if y'all understand how sad black
Speaker 1: people were when Princess Diana past, because she was a
Speaker 1: real one. She was a regular girl, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. She was a girl of the people. When
Speaker 1: she pulled up to the city, it was very different
Speaker 1: the way she treated her that she was a humanitarian,
Speaker 1: she was environmentalist. She was really really trying to work
Speaker 1: out and undo a lot of the history that you know,
Speaker 1: her in laws had done. She was like a real one.
Speaker 1: She married this prince who clearly ain't love her. He
Speaker 1: had a side checked the all time that was the
Speaker 1: real chick. And you know what, and we all knew
Speaker 1: her mom ain't like her. We knew that, we knew
Speaker 1: the queen and them name't like her. She was a commoner.
Speaker 1: We was like, well, we like her, she could we
Speaker 1: like her? So, Uh, if Twitter was a low life
Speaker 1: when Princess Diana passed, this would be a totally different story.
Speaker 1: Black people like Princess because she like sheer real with
Speaker 1: black people like queens. We just like Queen Latifa. So
Speaker 1: when you heard when we heard the news that the
Speaker 1: queen has passed, we thought it was Latifa, was like, Lord,
Speaker 1: say it ain't so why because she's a real one.
Speaker 1: Queen Latifa, a rider. Queen Latifa put on for our homies.
Speaker 1: Queen Latifa, put on for the ladies, put on for
Speaker 1: the city, put on for the culture. We love Queen Latifa.
Speaker 1: Living Singles one of the greatest shows. And you could
Speaker 1: quote me on this. Uh, friends, that's just living single
Speaker 1: with white people. Quote me, quote me, friends is just
Speaker 1: living single with white people. You have to understand we
Speaker 1: lived in a lot of ways, especially which might have
Speaker 1: been by design. Our entertainment was in a whole other silo.
Speaker 1: The show came out on Hulu. Uh, Tommy and Pam,
Speaker 1: we all thought you were talking about Martin. Were like,
Speaker 1: the thought didn't cross my mind that that was Tommy
Speaker 1: Lee and Pamela Anderson until I said to myself, they're
Speaker 1: probably not making a show about Tommy and pam Like
Speaker 1: I'm just I'm just letting you into our psyche, and
Speaker 1: let you into our psyche. Also, listen, when something is funny,
Speaker 1: no matter how inappropriate it is, I don't know what
Speaker 1: it is about us, we laugh. It's it doesn't we
Speaker 1: just we laugh at it's remember I told you about
Speaker 1: like dragging rights and like fear the clap back that
Speaker 1: like when when when you grow up in our culture,
Speaker 1: it's just are nobody's funnier than like our moms, our aunties.
Speaker 1: Like we get dragged, we get roasted, and you have
Speaker 1: to just clap back. You have to win to clap back.
Speaker 1: Who to clap back too? But you have to just
Speaker 1: you just take You have to laugh because it's funny.
Speaker 1: Right Listen, Black people got this way too. That like
Speaker 1: I don't even if you succeeding, we're gonna tear you
Speaker 1: down to crack jokes. I don't know what it is
Speaker 1: about us. It's not it's not malicious, it's not mean.
Speaker 1: We understand it. You go buy a house. Look at
Speaker 1: you with your financial stable head ass. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, then you got a raw thyro or some
Speaker 1: ship nigga, Like, damn, look is nigga. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, old old four oh one K having asked nigga,
Speaker 1: like you know what I'm saying, like like would you
Speaker 1: would you? You? You know them numbers, you're a little
Speaker 1: figurehead and like and it's like we're actually proud of you.
Speaker 1: That's actually great that you have before one K like
Speaker 1: like this, this is proud of you. It's just that's
Speaker 1: just how we talk. Like I don't I you. I
Speaker 1: don't know how it's to explain it to you. We
Speaker 1: laugh at the most inappropriate things because they're funny. I
Speaker 1: don't know how. How how else do you deal with tragedy?
Speaker 1: You know? Like you since sixteen nineteen, we've been on
Speaker 1: the bottom of culture, like you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: So we have we try to figure out how to
Speaker 1: make joy, how to make treasure out of trash. And
Speaker 1: one of those things is we just laugh at stuff,
Speaker 1: right and even at treasure out of trash. Why we
Speaker 1: gate keep so much about our phrases, our culture are
Speaker 1: things because it's like, damn, you're taking everything man white,
Speaker 1: we can have nothing Like there's certain phrases right now
Speaker 1: that I have to promise myself. I'm not gonna put
Speaker 1: on this podcast because I can't be having people listen.
Speaker 1: This can't go the way of lit bet crunk, you know,
Speaker 1: woke swag, like it just get out of our It
Speaker 1: just get out of hand, and then we can't and
Speaker 1: thenn't meets something else like you're okay, y'all do that
Speaker 1: no more? Got dog? But anyway that community living the
Speaker 1: way that we understand and communicate and celebrating and drag
Speaker 1: each other and hold each other accountable. You know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, even when you acting stupid, the way we
Speaker 1: hold each other accountable. We're trying. We're doing this because
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, we all we got so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna make fun of you so you learn. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, You don't do that no more once
Speaker 1: the end that it invented, we just do that online.
Speaker 1: That is black Twitter. Now let me step back for
Speaker 1: a second. You know why there's any other air quotes
Speaker 1: insert adjective twitter because of black Twitter, because that's what
Speaker 1: we do. We make stuff. The internet was not a
Speaker 1: space for black people. We had Black Planet that was
Speaker 1: a that was like our MySpace. But when it's like
Speaker 1: we're not trying to silo ourselves, we're just not welcome.
Speaker 1: So we just create our own things. So it's like,
Speaker 1: all right, well I'm gonna follow the homies, this fool funny.
Speaker 1: We're gonna share our own ideas across the country, across
Speaker 1: the world, right because it's because that's what we would
Speaker 1: do if we was kicking it, If we was kicking
Speaker 1: it in real life, we would be cracking jokes and
Speaker 1: compared notes and dragging fools. Girl, did you hear about Boyd?
Speaker 1: It's did you see this nigger head? Like you know,
Speaker 1: and we would just be getting jokes. This is where
Speaker 1: we get our news. If you really want to know
Speaker 1: what's really about to pop, you just it's black Twitter.
Speaker 1: There's no vitations. I don't like. It's not like y'a
Speaker 1: too colonial on the way that you think. Ain't no
Speaker 1: entry points. It's just we know who we are. I
Speaker 1: don't like, I can't even tell you who to follow
Speaker 1: for you to be a part of, because this doesn't
Speaker 1: work that way. There's no like influencer, gatekeeper, like it's
Speaker 1: leader like it's just that's that's corny to us anyone
Speaker 1: and everyone. You know how sometimes the funniest person in
Speaker 1: your life is just your uncle, like he just funny.
Speaker 1: Imagine your funniest cousin just happen to have a Twitter account,
Speaker 1: So everyone's funniest cousin, you know what I'm saying. It's
Speaker 1: just it's that it's like some people are like you know,
Speaker 1: political activists or like public figures and stuff like that.
Speaker 1: They stuff get in there, but that's not your access point.
Speaker 1: It's just we're just kicking it. And it's like and
Speaker 1: the gate keeping is collective, like you know when someone
Speaker 1: sucks or not, Like I just I know this is
Speaker 1: the most ethereal, but we get it though. So when
Speaker 1: stuff go down, like when the Duchess of Sussex, uh,
Speaker 1: Megan Marco actually ended up, you know, marrying that white
Speaker 1: boy and doing it that, we was proud. I was like,
Speaker 1: ohhead on Inglewood, you know what I'm saying. And then
Speaker 1: they called her the Duchess of Sussex. So we thought,
Speaker 1: knock if you buck, and we just made it the
Speaker 1: thing knock g if you book, nook if you book
Speaker 1: you And it's like it just takes levels to understand
Speaker 1: because we're immersed. We are already bicultural. We're immersed in
Speaker 1: our own culture, and we're immersed in dominant culture. Not
Speaker 1: just what comes with being and oppressed people. You just
Speaker 1: have to be. You just have to have a double consciousness. Now,
Speaker 1: this isn't unique to Black people. Eyesight Foods Gone Wild
Speaker 1: the one of the greatest meme accounts in the history
Speaker 1: of meme accounts. It's Chicano, it's Solo, it's it's Mexican.
Speaker 1: They created their own world and they know their own jokes.
Speaker 1: So when they're getting jokes, they got their own version
Speaker 1: of hood politics that's specific to them. And it's funny.
Speaker 1: I tapped in with them, dudes, because I get it.
Speaker 1: I lived on that side of town, but that's their language.
Speaker 1: I'm tapped in because I know them. So they create
Speaker 1: their own world and they deal with things their own way,
Speaker 1: and when stuff gets out, if you don't know what
Speaker 1: you're looking at, you may think wrongly about it. But
Speaker 1: black Twitter is a cultural phenomenon that I don't know
Speaker 1: if this will ever be repeated anywhere else this moment
Speaker 1: in time, because it's like it's the entire diaspora of
Speaker 1: black people are at one barbecue and we're just all
Speaker 1: having fun. We're at the same spades, they were at
Speaker 1: the same dominoes and experiencing things in real time, and
Speaker 1: we're able to just you know how black people laugh,
Speaker 1: you know how we laugh, We loud, we extra like
Speaker 1: that's just it's just us and and it's that online.
Speaker 1: But why was this particular one so special? Coming up next?
Speaker 1: All right? Why this one was so special was because
Speaker 1: it was almost like avengers of melanated people plus the Irish.
Speaker 1: Why did we combine our powers like this is because
Speaker 1: we've all been affected brutally by the British Empire. And
Speaker 1: like I said before, y'all made her the figurehead of colonialism.
Speaker 1: Somebody sent me a tweet and y'all go dragged this
Speaker 1: dude if you want to. This man said, Oh, it
Speaker 1: ain't gonna hurt him. No, it ain't gonna hurt him.
Speaker 1: Numb Trevine Wax. This man tweets said, the death of
Speaker 1: the Queen feels weighty because it marks the passing of
Speaker 1: not of a woman, but of a world. Bread I
Speaker 1: mean your mouth to God's ears. I hope it is
Speaker 1: the ending of a world, the world that's been shaped
Speaker 1: by imperialism, that the global South has been raped and
Speaker 1: pillaged for its resources. Not only not only will come
Speaker 1: out the earth, but the human ones themselves, the Transatlantic
Speaker 1: slave trade. FAMI, Like, are you serious? Like, man, I
Speaker 1: hope it is. I hope it is the symbolic end.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We were having two different experiences. Listen,
Speaker 1: this is not just US India India Twitter jokes. You
Speaker 1: know why India Pakistan are too different countries. Britain they
Speaker 1: just made a line like like you have to like
Speaker 1: just like follow me. Why why why the belief that
Speaker 1: people got tea time? Why do I use terms like
Speaker 1: commoner for the British joke said Listen, Entire tribes, civilizations,
Speaker 1: natives Caribbean, like the sugarcake, Like just where six hundred
Speaker 1: years and the planet was affected by y'all just pulling
Speaker 1: up on spots and being like it's ours. Hundreds and
Speaker 1: thousands of people murdered, wiped out, having to deal paying
Speaker 1: taxes to something like listen, America special because we just
Speaker 1: fought them off like we just like but we I mean,
Speaker 1: our origin story is about how trash the British Empire
Speaker 1: is that's our riger story. Now let me read this
Speaker 1: quote coming out of Irish Twitter. Now it's credited to
Speaker 1: the Irish Times. I'm trying to find an article. I
Speaker 1: can't find an article, but this is the screen the screenshot. Uh,
Speaker 1: but just understand the sentiment. Mh. It says having the
Speaker 1: monarchy next door is a little like having a neighbor
Speaker 1: who's really into clowns and has dotted their house with
Speaker 1: clown murals, displays clown dolls in each window, and has
Speaker 1: an insatiable desire to hear about and discuss clown related
Speaker 1: news stories. More specifically, for the Irish, it's like having
Speaker 1: a neighbor who's really into clowns and also your grandfather
Speaker 1: was murdered by a clown. Good that's not funny, but
Speaker 1: that's funny. You see what I'm saying. Do you left
Speaker 1: by God? Like I said, two things are true. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry for that woman. I'm sorry for her family. It
Speaker 1: sucks to lose somebody. We told you and Nick's died
Speaker 1: Daily episode. Listen, that boy, that boy from that other hood.
Speaker 1: We probably went to the same head start you know what,
Speaker 1: you know, I probably knew we probably was in the
Speaker 1: ain't pop Warner. But it's very possible that that boy
Speaker 1: killed at least three of my armies. So I'm like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm sorry for him. I I you don't
Speaker 1: want anyone to suffer, but you want me to come
Speaker 1: out here and share the tear because that's somebody Grandma.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't worry about my grandma. You wouldn't worry about
Speaker 1: the millions of people across the whole planet's grandma. Was
Speaker 1: you at it was you at day funeral? Did y'all
Speaker 1: seeing somebody down there? Y'all gotta like listen, man, it's
Speaker 1: like you don't know nobody who's been oppressed. Like it's
Speaker 1: just you pick a country. I said again, it's only
Speaker 1: twenty two of them. They put colonies in. I just
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what to tell you.
Speaker 1: We got history like Earth, like Earth got history with
Speaker 1: the British Empire like Earth like I just not, I
Speaker 1: don't just know what to tell you. So excuse us
Speaker 1: for not catching the vapors or nothing, you know, I
Speaker 1: mean singing God Save the King. I'm just trying to
Speaker 1: tell you, like we just like there's some feelings. We
Speaker 1: got feelings about this. Now that's me being serious, but
Speaker 1: again I feel sorry for that woman. Now let me
Speaker 1: read some of the tweets, just just just to prove
Speaker 1: to you what I'm talking about. Like listen, again, I'm
Speaker 1: not telling you it's appropriate. I'm just saying it's funny.
Speaker 1: Like this's just how we deal with stuff. One of
Speaker 1: them is the guy uh at the will Choy. He says, Nations,
Speaker 1: Everyone in England is distracted. It's the perfect time to
Speaker 1: get your stuff back from the British Museum. Uh. Bryan

Speaker 1: diaspora are really cutting up on here today. I laughed
Speaker 1: with you, my beloved legwashing community. That is listen, let
Speaker 1: me tell you something. This stuff is so funny to me.
Speaker 1: Uh Queen Latifa started trending because black people thought she
Speaker 1: died instead of the Queen of England. I just this
Speaker 1: stuff is. You can't make this stuff up. And my
Speaker 1: favorite tweet is from one of my favorite accounts. It's
Speaker 1: Philip Lewis, phil Underscore Lewis. He said, someone that informs
Speaker 1: Stacy Dash. Now, now I I know I'm sorry that
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure some of y'all don't understand why this
Speaker 1: is so funny. And this is what I mean about,
Speaker 1: like why black twitter is so important to culture, why
Speaker 1: it's so brilliant. So you have to remember Stacy Dash,
Speaker 1: you know, the girl from Clueless that was in the
Speaker 1: All Falls Down video with Kanye went full maga, she
Speaker 1: went full right wing, she went full all Lives Matter.
Speaker 1: And it was weird to us because it was like,
Speaker 1: what what is you doing, Stacy Dash, the girl from Clueless,
Speaker 1: Sharon talking about all lives matter being back in the blue,
Speaker 1: that girl, the girl from All Falls Down video, So
Speaker 1: she didn't already went so we was already like, I
Speaker 1: don't understand what's going on with her? So I guess, well,
Speaker 1: if that she chose, she chose, she chose the line
Speaker 1: in the sand. That's what she said. That's what she
Speaker 1: want to do. Okay, alright, deuces then, so we didn't
Speaker 1: know she hadn't already been kicked off the barbecue. She
Speaker 1: out the group text, but a few weeks ago, a
Speaker 1: TikTok of hers goes viral of her. Just Solva climpsed
Speaker 1: so distraught, emotional lead and she was like y'all forgive
Speaker 1: my lay pass like forgive me and just was so
Speaker 1: emotional about DMX dying, just just about how kind he
Speaker 1: was and I was sweet, and just how drugs like,
Speaker 1: oh man, please check on your friends. D MX died
Speaker 1: almost two years ago. We did. Do you know what?
Speaker 1: He's been dead for over a year. What did you
Speaker 1: talking about, Stacy Dash? Is you that unplugged? Is you
Speaker 1: that mac? Is you that out of the circle? That's
Speaker 1: your dough And then to get on your phone, to
Speaker 1: open your phone, to open that app and do this
Speaker 1: whole Rigamarow is like, girl, you was what, this is
Speaker 1: funny even if it's sad, it's I don't know what
Speaker 1: to tell you, it's funny. So then fulfilled to be like, hey,
Speaker 1: somebody tells Stacy Dash, I was like, okay, okay, we
Speaker 1: are undefeated because it's just well, we can't have her
Speaker 1: showing up two years later talking about she's so sad
Speaker 1: about the queen. You have to understand the level. There
Speaker 1: is levels to this. It's levels to this. And lastly,
Speaker 1: is the is I want to I can't stress enough
Speaker 1: the importance the cultural importance of what of what black
Speaker 1: Twitter is. It's actually real, realty. We are way more
Speaker 1: informed than people give us credit for, way more versed
Speaker 1: in multiple cultures, in multiple spheres, and it shows up
Speaker 1: in black Twitter, but it shows up our way. And
Speaker 1: today was so special because that united with Ireland, with
Speaker 1: India and with South America. It was like the Captain
Speaker 1: planet rings came together and we just had the dopest
Speaker 1: barbecue with like uh we had, I mean, with the
Speaker 1: most amazing Guinness beer, with some incredibly seasoned chicken and
Speaker 1: some wonderful cevich and some curry. It was just the
Speaker 1: dopest party that who knew what would unite the masses
Speaker 1: is the death of Queen Elizabeth. So to reiterate, two
Speaker 1: things can be true at once. Rest in peace to
Speaker 1: the Queen. I hope her family is okay, and I
Speaker 1: hope the thing survives. And we saw how you treated
Speaker 1: lady died, We saw how you treated Megan Marco and
