And 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:24.840 it's crazy because it's just like. 0:06:25.640 --> 0:06:29.880 You're so obsessed with us, you need us so that 0:06:29.960 --> 0:06:33.240 you can make money. Do you hear that you're sick? 0:06:34.000 --> 0:06:35.760 Get your own, get your own culture. 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:38.560 This picture that I'm looking at looks like a woman 0:06:38.600 --> 0:06:43.520 in black face. Okay, which one I can send it? 0:06:43.560 --> 0:06:50.800 But it's somebody wrote somebody whose name has the word conservative. 0:06:51.160 --> 0:06:55.040 Twitter said, Andrew Mama was Nancy Green. She was an 0:06:55.040 --> 0:06:58.440 American success story. She was born into slavery in eighteen 0:06:58.520 --> 0:07:02.040 thirty four in Kentucky and be came a wealthy superstar 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.760 when she was selected as a spokesman in eighteen nineteen 0:07:07.080 --> 0:07:10.760 for Andrebina whatever. And he said, now cry, babies have 0:07:10.920 --> 0:07:14.320 killed her. And then the photo that this person who 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.360 is upset about their syrup put looks like a white 0:07:17.400 --> 0:07:21.480 lady in blackface with a scarf holding a stack of pancakes. 0:07:21.920 --> 0:07:25.680 So I'm not really understanding how that helps their argument. 0:07:25.960 --> 0:07:31.720 But yes, we are gonna leave no stone unturned. 0:07:32.160 --> 0:07:35.080 Especially now because we have the time, eh, since we 0:07:35.120 --> 0:07:36.920 have nowhere to be in no place to go. 0:07:37.400 --> 0:07:41.560 So let's look at everything, every book that's ever been published, 0:07:41.640 --> 0:07:45.360 any the people who work at Apple and made the AirPods, Like, word, 0:07:45.760 --> 0:07:50.680 everything is that racist? No? Well, iPhones can't recognize black 0:07:50.680 --> 0:07:56.360 people's faces, so is that racist? No? Self driving cars 0:07:56.360 --> 0:07:58.920 are hitting black people because they don't recognize our bodies 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:05.720 when they're driving that. No, everything can be racist, but 0:08:05.800 --> 0:08:06.600 nothing should be. 0:08:06.920 --> 0:08:08.880 So that's where we are, right, Yeah, and that's and 0:08:08.920 --> 0:08:12.600 that's fine, And everybody is doing a lot of work. 0:08:13.120 --> 0:08:16.280 They're realizing, Oh wow, the person that I work with 0:08:16.840 --> 0:08:20.280 is not only racist, but also is the cousin to 0:08:21.000 --> 0:08:23.400 the owner of the company who is also racist. So 0:08:23.520 --> 0:08:26.840 this is so generational that I can't even stop being 0:08:26.920 --> 0:08:30.200 this person's friend until I quit this fucking job because 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:35.800 the job was built on racism and nepotism. 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:40.960 Nepotism. Mm hmm, it's real. You see how we do 0:08:41.000 --> 0:08:46.920 we hit all of this? Come on, facts, haven't googled 0:08:46.920 --> 0:08:48.800 a single thing that we know everything. 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:56.040 We we haven't been able to uh reach any protests 0:08:56.120 --> 0:09:00.520 yet because I still feel weird about being in that. 0:09:02.200 --> 0:09:06.280 Like a group of people like that. It's so many 0:09:05.800 --> 0:09:10.120 what you said, we haven't been talking for we oh 0:09:10.160 --> 0:09:13.200 you have.

I'm that far 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:25.720 into Brooklyn that they're like protests motests. We're just you know, 0:09:26.080 --> 0:09:29.000 our water, our water is barely clean, so we're not 0:09:29.280 --> 0:09:30.120 we can't. 0:09:32.080 --> 0:09:34.600 Your water is clean.

You know everything that you need to 0:11:24.960 --> 0:11:25.480 know about them. 0:11:27.160 --> 0:11:31.000 Twitter is doing some good work on exposing so many people, 0:11:31.040 --> 0:11:37.200 bringing up so many conversations issue it. I mean, they're 0:11:37.240 --> 0:11:40.040 just really trying to make sure that this thing is 0:11:40.080 --> 0:11:45.800 so layered in terms of conversations and how complicated not 0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:50.480 only racism is, but the issues that go inside of the. 0:11:50.360 --> 0:11:54.000 Black community as well.

My mom's gonna fix the plate anyway. 0:12:28.080 --> 0:12:29.640 You're gonna do that by herself. I might, I might 0:12:29.679 --> 0:12:33.520 bring it out, but that's my mom's house. If I'm 0:12:33.559 --> 0:12:36.840 at his mom's house, I'm not going into his mother's 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.880 kitchen to fix him a plate. You should be bringing 0:12:39.920 --> 0:12:41.120 me a plate. I'm a guest. 0:12:41.320 --> 0:12:44.840 Yes, that's the that's the real truth. You should be 0:12:44.840 --> 0:12:47.840 fixing your guest a plate. That's a good host. 0:12:48.600 --> 0:12:52.120 Yes, yeah.

That song has always been problematic to me. 0:13:04.559 --> 0:13:06.720 And I was like, I was like, I love you girls, 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:08.880 but I was like, I'm not putting on his T shirt, 0:13:09.360 --> 0:13:12.559 I'm not dinner, we're not playing video games. 0:13:13.080 --> 0:13:13.559 I couldn't. 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:15.959 I couldn't. It didn't resonate for me because I was like, oh, 0:13:16.160 --> 0:13:18.280 I don't like niggas like that, So that that's. 0:13:18.080 --> 0:13:21.560 What it was. Just slipper, your dinner, your desert so 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:22.800 much more. 0:13:24.559 --> 0:13:29.280 You No, girl, It's like, no, sorry, we have to 0:13:29.280 --> 0:13:32.480 bring that back Destiny's Child. Not only is the group canceled, 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.160 but that song is especially canceled, canceled. 0:13:35.280 --> 0:13:38.200 It's done, canceled capital T. At the end of that 0:13:38.440 --> 0:13:40.559 and other news, did you did you hear about the J. 0:13:41.280 --> 0:13:46.720 J Cole beef the J Yes, I saw that. That 0:13:46.840 --> 0:13:49.120 was I think also just all of the stuff that 0:13:49.120 --> 0:13:52.000 I was consuming when I was in my my whole 0:13:52.080 --> 0:13:56.760 of ignoring everybody, do not disturb us. Yes, it's like, okay, 0:13:56.960 --> 0:13:59.360 so explain what j Cole did for the people who 0:13:59.360 --> 0:14:00.520 maybe are not with her friend. 0:14:01.040 --> 0:14:04.680 So you know, he's like heavily into the protests and 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:08.560 black Lives Matter, et cetera, et cetera. He's he's there. 0:14:09.240 --> 0:14:10.840 I mean a lot of people listen to what he 0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:14.200 has to say. He always speaks out about things. He 0:14:14.320 --> 0:14:18.520 uses his platform to talk and we love that for him. 0:14:19.000 --> 0:14:23.240 But he did a song called Snow in the Bluff 0:14:23.320 --> 0:14:27.800 or something like that, and basically he was just discussing 0:14:27.880 --> 0:14:32.040 everything that's going on currently with you know, police brutality. 0:14:32.560 --> 0:14:36.680 But he was also it felt like he was insinuating 0:14:36.720 --> 0:14:42.720 a dig towards no name, who is a lady rapper 0:14:42.960 --> 0:14:47.240 who is incredible. She's very educated music, very very educated. 0:14:47.280 --> 0:14:51.760 She has her own book club. She stopped performing because 0:14:51.760 --> 0:14:55.240 she didn't want white people to have the access of 0:14:55.600 --> 0:14:57.080 to come to her shows. 0:14:57.200 --> 0:15:00.640 That's how real she is in this. 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:02.920 You know. Well, I mean also, we're in the middle 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:04.680 of a pandemic, so what concerts did no. 0:15:05.200 --> 0:15:08.200 But no, But before that, before that was like months 0:15:08.200 --> 0:15:11.440 and months and months that she was just like I'm done. Okay, 0:15:11.440 --> 0:15:16.080 it's called Snow on the Bluff. So he did this 0:15:16.160 --> 0:15:18.560 and he dropped it the other day, and it's like, 0:15:18.680 --> 0:15:21.040 why are we dropping music right now? 0:15:22.000 --> 0:15:25.160 We need to stick We need to stay focused, stay focused. 0:15:25.160 --> 0:15:26.200 What are we doing right now? 0:15:26.600 --> 0:15:31.320 We're trying to comeback racism. Throw these dirty ass police 0:15:31.440 --> 0:15:34.760 in in jail. They need to be arrested, and just 0:15:34.800 --> 0:15:37.200 like keep it moving. We I don't really need to 0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:40.800 hear your take on anything unless it's like. 0:15:42.360 --> 0:15:47.040 We're fixing the problem. Well people, Okay, so he didn't 0:15:47.040 --> 0:15:50.920 say her name, No, he didn't dropped, but he essentially 0:15:51.080 --> 0:15:55.800 was like in the song, he like praises her for 0:15:56.040 --> 0:15:58.920 being so woke and well read and knowing so much, 0:15:59.320 --> 0:16:01.880 and then he like, I don't know necessarily if he 0:16:02.120 --> 0:16:04.600 drags her because I read the lyrics, and it was like, 0:16:05.520 --> 0:16:08.240 he was like, you have to educate people who don't 0:16:08.280 --> 0:16:11.400 know as much as you, right, And it's not a 0:16:11.400 --> 0:16:13.760 black woman's job to educate people who don't know as 0:16:13.840 --> 0:16:16.160 much as you. He has access to the same books 0:16:16.160 --> 0:16:19.760 that she has. He has nothing but time to read 0:16:19.840 --> 0:16:24.040 said books. So that's what people were saying on one side. 0:16:24.120 --> 0:16:27.040 On the other side, mainly black men, were like, well, 0:16:27.080 --> 0:16:30.840 if he doesn't know, he's asking her to help him know. 0:16:31.240 --> 0:16:32.680 And it's like what. 0:16:34.080 --> 0:16:38.520 It's basically like, Oh, since you have all this information, 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:41.400 can you tell us? But also can you tell us 0:16:41.400 --> 0:16:44.720 in a way that's not mean? Can you like watch 0:16:44.760 --> 0:16:48.480 your tone the way the way you give this information. 0:16:49.040 --> 0:16:51.600 And it's like, oh, oh, I'm so sorry, sir. Not 0:16:51.760 --> 0:16:55.480 only do you know we're getting beat, we're getting killed, 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:58.200 we're getting raped. So not only we have to take 0:16:58.240 --> 0:17:00.280 on that on our shoulders, but then we have to 0:17:00.320 --> 0:17:04.040 consume all this information to educate ourselves and our children. 0:17:04.280 --> 0:17:06.560 And then by that, we have to then take all 0:17:06.600 --> 0:17:09.760 of that angst and then put it in a nice 0:17:09.880 --> 0:17:12.680 basket and pass it to you. 0:17:12.280 --> 0:17:15.480 We gotta, we gotta take We gotta learn all of 0:17:15.520 --> 0:17:17.880 the stuff that we did not learn in school about 0:17:17.880 --> 0:17:21.600 how nasty this country's history actually is. Right, we gotta 0:17:21.840 --> 0:17:25.879 chew up that nasty history, and then we gotta spit 0:17:25.960 --> 0:17:30.200 it in these men's mouths so that they can they 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:34.960 can digest it better. No, absolutely not. And I like 0:17:35.080 --> 0:17:39.159 j Cole, I like him, I like no name, But like, 0:17:39.720 --> 0:17:44.200 how dare you tell anybody right now to check their tone, sir, 0:17:45.280 --> 0:17:49.120 least of all a black woman check your tone? No, 0:17:49.280 --> 0:17:53.320 I'm like angry and I'm overwhelmed, and I'm sad, and 0:17:53.880 --> 0:17:56.240 I've been locked in my house for three months and 0:17:56.400 --> 0:17:58.880 I can't create my art because I can't sleep at night. 0:17:58.920 --> 0:17:59.840 Like shut up. 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:04.360 But also, but also I was going to say about 0:18:04.440 --> 0:18:07.160 tone with people. Don't understand when you're telling a black 0:18:07.160 --> 0:18:11.119 woman to check her tone, it's demeaning. It's not coming 0:18:11.160 --> 0:18:15.159 from a place of like, oh, what you're saying. I 0:18:15.200 --> 0:18:17.520 don't like the way you're saying. It's like, no, you 0:18:17.560 --> 0:18:20.120 don't have the right to talk to me like this. Meanwhile, 0:18:20.160 --> 0:18:22.840 they go to their jobs and white men talk to 0:18:22.880 --> 0:18:26.320 them any kind of way. The execs, ye, the lawyers, 0:18:26.800 --> 0:18:29.800 they're handling everything. They don't even think you're supposed to speak. 0:18:30.040 --> 0:18:33.320 So when you're saying to a black woman, check how 0:18:33.359 --> 0:18:35.400 you speak to me or how you talk, it's not 0:18:35.440 --> 0:18:39.680 in a way that's productive. It's pushing us down. It's 0:18:39.720 --> 0:18:42.960 actually silencing us. It's not only check your tone, but 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.840 you really even shouldn't be speaking to me. So that's 0:18:45.880 --> 0:18:47.880 why I have a problem when you address a black 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:50.560 woman's tone, because it's it's not coming from a good place. 0:18:50.800 --> 0:18:54.720 So wait, here's the lyrics that he was saying. He said, 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:58.000 and the frustration that feels her words seems to come 0:18:58.320 --> 0:19:01.040 from the fact that most people don't see just because 0:19:01.080 --> 0:19:03.919 you woke and I'm not that shit, ain't no reason 0:19:04.000 --> 0:19:05.280 to talk like you better than me. 0:19:05.840 --> 0:19:06.119 I'm not. 0:19:06.400 --> 0:19:09.040 She was not saying that she's better than anybody. It's 0:19:09.119 --> 0:19:11.600 just like she has this book club. She has all 0:19:11.640 --> 0:19:15.720 the same access to the information like y'all you. 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.000 Should do so he made he made a whole song 0:19:18.040 --> 0:19:19.880 based on a tweet that she does. 0:19:19.960 --> 0:19:24.800 Yeah yeah, get all g o t Her tweet was 0:19:24.800 --> 0:19:29.639 basically like, you're you're you're a rapper and all of 0:19:29.640 --> 0:19:32.200 your music is basically about the plight of. 0:19:32.480 --> 0:19:34.800 Being a black man or being black in America. 0:19:34.880 --> 0:19:38.840 But you can't put on your platforms, you can't tweet 0:19:38.880 --> 0:19:44.880 anything like acknowledging what's going on, and it's it's not helpful. 0:19:44.960 --> 0:19:48.480 That's what she was saying, which I mean, you know, 0:19:48.560 --> 0:19:52.080 some of these uh rappers or entertainers, they shouldn't be 0:19:52.119 --> 0:19:56.080 allowed to tweet or use their social media. Beyonce's like, yeah, 0:19:56.119 --> 0:19:58.360 I'm no good at this, so somebody else take this over. 0:19:58.440 --> 0:20:01.760 And honestly, a lot of them, a lot of them 0:20:01.840 --> 0:20:04.479 need that. But she was just saying that. It was like, 0:20:05.440 --> 0:20:08.480 it's your not that it's your duty, But why are 0:20:08.480 --> 0:20:11.840 you so afraid you speak out about everything else on 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:12.600 your platform? 0:20:12.720 --> 0:20:17.520 Why not? Why not this what you're talking about? 0:20:17.520 --> 0:20:20.159 What she said, Yeah, that's what I was interpreting her tweet. 0:20:20.720 --> 0:20:24.760 Her tweet, the tweet that she the tweet that launched 0:20:25.040 --> 0:20:30.080 launched a thousand mixtapes. Her tweet says, poor black folks 0:20:30.119 --> 0:20:32.159 all over the country are putting her bodies on the 0:20:32.200 --> 0:20:36.160 line in protests for our collective safety and y'all favorite 0:20:36.200 --> 0:20:39.199 top selling rappers not even willing to put a tweet up. 0:20:39.760 --> 0:20:43.000 Nigga's whole discographies be about black plight and they are 0:20:43.160 --> 0:20:47.680 nowhere to be found. And I mean, I don't see 0:20:47.680 --> 0:20:52.159 her saying Jake Cole anywhere in this. She's talking about 0:20:52.359 --> 0:20:55.680 multiple rappers here that haven't spoke up or haven't shown 0:20:55.720 --> 0:20:58.760 up anywhere. And Jake Cole took that tweet and was like, 0:20:59.160 --> 0:21:03.919 don't don't you dare take that tone with me. Mind you, 0:21:04.000 --> 0:21:05.920 he's been at some of the protests. I've seen the photos. 0:21:07.160 --> 0:21:08.879 Okay, he wrote hit it. 0:21:09.080 --> 0:21:11.640 This is also on the song hit the Ghetto and 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:15.000 slowly start planting your seeds. Fuck, is the point of 0:21:15.040 --> 0:21:18.080 you preaching your message to those that already believe what 0:21:18.200 --> 0:21:21.760 you believe? I'm on some fuck or retweet most people 0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:25.680 is sheep. You got all the answers, but how you're 0:21:25.680 --> 0:21:29.640 going to reach If I could make one more suggestion, respectfully, 0:21:29.960 --> 0:21:32.880 I would say it's more effective to treat people like children, 0:21:33.400 --> 0:21:37.040 understanding the time and love and patience that's needed to grow. 0:21:37.480 --> 0:21:40.360 This change is inevitable, but ain't no one of us 0:21:40.920 --> 0:21:43.920 seen this before. Therefore, we got to learn everything as 0:21:43.920 --> 0:21:47.359 we go. I struggle with thoughts on the on the daily. 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:52.440 But it's like, what, I gotta treat people like children? 0:21:52.960 --> 0:21:55.040 Nik at you thirty five? What do you what? 0:21:56.480 --> 0:21:59.400 And then he did this whole apology where he's like, well, 0:21:59.440 --> 0:22:00.400 I don't really read. 0:22:00.600 --> 0:22:04.000 I just think a lot. What, Oh my god, can 0:22:04.440 --> 0:22:07.800 you can't. I'm telling me to check my tone. You're 0:22:07.800 --> 0:22:10.000 telling me to check my tone, and you're telling me 0:22:10.760 --> 0:22:13.879 that you don't really read, but you're telling me to 0:22:13.960 --> 0:22:18.119 treat you like a kid. I don't know. It's all dumb. 0:22:18.200 --> 0:22:21.560 The tweet, the fact that he felt like the tweet 0:22:21.600 --> 0:22:25.520 was about him mean something. But also the fact that 0:22:26.280 --> 0:22:28.120 she had to put the tweet up in the first 0:22:28.160 --> 0:22:33.200 place also mean something else. So you know, everybody's bored 0:22:33.240 --> 0:22:35.480 and everybody's angry. So this is just to keep happening 0:22:35.560 --> 0:22:36.719 until they let us back outside. 0:22:36.760 --> 0:22:39.440 We gotta stay on, we gotta stay focused though, That's 0:22:39.480 --> 0:22:41.879 what I think. It's like, we're having so many discussions 0:22:41.880 --> 0:22:45.280 about everything, and then like people are getting to see 0:22:45.400 --> 0:22:48.520
