It's Willie d y'all reloaded with another 0:00:39.360 --> 0:00:42.599 episode of information and instructions to help you navigate through 0:00:42.640 --> 0:00:47.560 this wild, crazy, beautiful world in the studio, the truth trafficker, 0:00:48.120 --> 0:00:49.839 my brother Derek. 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.520 Muhammad, piece of mild But how you doing, sir, hey man? 0:00:53.560 --> 0:00:54.560 How you doing man? 0:00:54.680 --> 0:00:57.920 Thank you for having me, bro ladies and gentlemen. I 0:00:57.960 --> 0:01:00.319 just want y'all to understand this. This, this, this is 0:01:00.720 --> 0:01:03.400 one of the good guys. This guy is on the 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.560 front lines. He don't just talk it he walking and 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:11.039 everything else in between. This man on a daily basis, 0:01:11.080 --> 0:01:18.119 fight for social justice, he fights against police brutality, he 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:23.400 fights for economic equality. I mean, the list goes on 0:01:23.480 --> 0:01:26.920 and on and on. But one of your biggest, biggest, 0:01:27.319 --> 0:01:36.920 I would say things that you champion is black male development. Yes, sir, 0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:38.880 why is that so important to you? 0:01:39.360 --> 0:01:44.720 Black male development is important to me because I don't 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:49.120 think that we as a people are going anywhere until 0:01:49.320 --> 0:01:53.120 the black man puts himself in position to take the lead. Again, 0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:55.920 I don't think that we as a people are going 0:01:56.120 --> 0:02:00.400 anywhere unless we invest in the future of black people. 0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:04.480 I tell people all the time. Right now, there is 0:02:04.560 --> 0:02:08.480 a battle for currency supremacy. You've got China, You've got 0:02:08.480 --> 0:02:12.280 Saudi Arabia, You've got Russia, South Africa. They're all gang 0:02:12.360 --> 0:02:17.400 tackling the dollar. And the conversation is surrounding what should 0:02:17.440 --> 0:02:20.800 we be investing in. Some people say put your money 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:24.079 in gold, others say put your money in land. Well, 0:02:24.240 --> 0:02:26.560 the point that I want to make is that no 0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:29.799 matter what we invest in, and I believe we should 0:02:29.800 --> 0:02:34.680 invest wisely, our greatest investment is going to be the 0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.120 investment that we make in our children and in the 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:42.520 next generation. And I believe too often the black mail 0:02:42.800 --> 0:02:46.360 is left out of the conversation when it comes to 0:02:46.520 --> 0:02:50.160 upw with mobility. When is the last time you had 0:02:50.760 --> 0:02:55.120 or heard a presidential candidate come up with an agenda 0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.360 for the black mail? You don't hear it. So black 0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:03.680 mails may up about seven percent of the population in America, 0:03:03.720 --> 0:03:07.120 but we get blamed for ninety percent of America's problems. 0:03:07.600 --> 0:03:10.960 So I think that we as black men have a 0:03:11.240 --> 0:03:16.640 duty to place our focus on the development of black boys. 0:03:16.880 --> 0:03:19.720 And this is the only way that we will survive 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:23.040 as a people. We must invest in the black male. 0:03:23.919 --> 0:03:26.040 And we got to do that as black people. We 0:03:26.160 --> 0:03:29.320 got to do that because it's not in their best 0:03:29.320 --> 0:03:31.760 interest to do that, because they would be fighting against 0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.840 themselves because their goal is to make us look bad. 0:03:35.240 --> 0:03:40.760 Their goal is to subjugate, to deny, to ridicule, to criticize, 0:03:41.320 --> 0:03:47.000 to discriminate. That's their goal against us. So we have 0:03:47.120 --> 0:03:53.000 to be intent on fighting that off, coming up with 0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.400 initiatives to fight that off. And we have to understand 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:59.640 what we're up against, like, this is not by happenstance. 0:04:00.280 --> 0:04:03.400 You know, this is by design, right, This is not happenstance. 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:06.560 This is designed. This is by design that there's never 0:04:06.600 --> 0:04:11.400 an agenda for the black man. Oh, there's an agenda. Yeah, 0:04:11.520 --> 0:04:14.480 there's an agenda. There's an agenda right now to emasculate 0:04:14.520 --> 0:04:17.920 black men, to see black men as effeminate. That is 0:04:17.960 --> 0:04:23.160 an agenda. There is an agenda to make sure that 0:04:23.240 --> 0:04:30.560 black men have to be reliant on his woman financially. 0:04:31.040 --> 0:04:36.320 That is an agenda that the black man is kept 0:04:36.360 --> 0:04:41.599 out of the household. It's an agenda too. Every time 0:04:42.240 --> 0:04:45.760 something happens, when black man goes out and do something reckless, 0:04:45.800 --> 0:04:50.400 something forout, it is to make him look like he 0:04:50.480 --> 0:04:55.880 is representative of all black males. So their overall plan is, Okay, 0:04:57.080 --> 0:05:01.200 we're going to hold our best up as an example 0:05:01.480 --> 0:05:04.040 of who we are collectively, and we're gonna hold your 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:07.520 worst worst up as an example of who you are collectively. 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:07.840 Man. 0:05:07.880 --> 0:05:09.760 And until we see that, we're not gonna get it. 0:05:09.760 --> 0:05:11.880 Because I see a lot of dummies on social media 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:15.120 all the time where black people can't do this. Well, 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:18.880 you know, we are worst enemies, you dumb bastards. You 0:05:19.120 --> 0:05:21.320 got to be the dumber in a bag of rocks 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:24.320 to believe that. But there are people who believe in 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:25.480 and they think they're smart. 0:05:25.560 --> 0:05:29.280 Yeah, and you're right, dear brother. There is an agenda 0:05:29.760 --> 0:05:34.200 that is propaganda based, that paints the picture of the 0:05:34.279 --> 0:05:38.200 black male as an endangered species, paints a picture of 0:05:38.320 --> 0:05:44.640 the black male as be steal, animalistic, maniacal, and literally inhumane. 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:50.640 And as long as that propaganda not only affects how 0:05:50.680 --> 0:05:54.080 the world sees us, because that's not the most important part. 0:05:54.760 --> 0:05:58.520 The most important part is how it affects the way 0:05:59.000 --> 0:06:03.800 we see one another. And as long as we are 0:06:03.880 --> 0:06:09.240 impacted by that propaganda, then we won't see black boys 0:06:09.520 --> 0:06:13.280 as being worth investing in. We won't see black men 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:17.440 as being worth investing in. So that's why the knowledge 0:06:17.440 --> 0:06:22.400 of self is critical. See, our young boys have to 0:06:22.440 --> 0:06:26.000 be taught who they are, whose they are, and where 0:06:26.000 --> 0:06:29.000 they come from. One of the first things that I 0:06:29.040 --> 0:06:31.760 was taught in the Nation of Islam is that the 0:06:31.839 --> 0:06:35.560 black man is the original man, the maker, the owner, 0:06:35.800 --> 0:06:38.839 the cream of the planet Earth, god of the universe, 0:06:39.400 --> 0:06:43.200 and the black man is Alpha and Omega. The question 0:06:43.360 --> 0:06:48.240 is asked in our lessons, what is the birth record 0:06:48.279 --> 0:06:51.119 of the Black nation? And the question is the Black 0:06:51.240 --> 0:06:55.960 nation has no birth record, He has no beginning or ending. 0:06:56.880 --> 0:07:00.640 When you begin to teach a young black male that 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:07.240 his ancestry starts at the beginning of time, not in 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:12.560 fifteen fifty five when the first slave ship landed in Jamestown, Virginia. 0:07:12.680 --> 0:07:16.240 It makes him to look at himself a little bit differently. 0:07:16.600 --> 0:07:20.200 When you teach him that the Greek philosophy that they're 0:07:20.240 --> 0:07:27.120 taught in college is actually ancient Egyptian philosophy that represents 0:07:27.160 --> 0:07:30.280 the stolen legacy of our people, it makes him to 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.920 look at himself a little bit differently. See, we think, 0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:36.760 brother Will, that our young brothers are out in the 0:07:36.800 --> 0:07:42.640 streets gang banging, hustling and being emotional and erratic and 0:07:42.760 --> 0:07:46.240 killing and stealing because they come from the projects and 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.160 they don't have anything. That's not true anymore. 0:07:49.240 --> 0:07:49.440 Bro. 0:07:49.960 --> 0:07:54.520 Some of the most ridiculous cases that I'm getting a 0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:58.480 coming from young brothers who live in the suburbs, who 0:07:58.560 --> 0:08:03.120 sometimes both of them their parents make six figures. I'm 0:08:03.160 --> 0:08:05.880 talking about a youngster, and this is a true story. 0:08:06.000 --> 0:08:10.400 Youngster got killed at a pool party. I mean did 0:08:10.400 --> 0:08:13.320 in bad Will didn't walk right up on him in 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:16.360 broad daylight and shot him in the chest. So when 0:08:16.440 --> 0:08:19.080 these cases come to my desk, I started doing a 0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:23.400 little research looking on social media. So I'm looking at 0:08:23.400 --> 0:08:27.640 the youngster that lost his life on his Instagram page. 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:31.760 You know, laid back. He got a stack of money 0:08:31.760 --> 0:08:34.640 in both hands, and he got an ar fifteen across 0:08:34.640 --> 0:08:38.920 his lap. But what people don't know is he's doing 0:08:38.960 --> 0:08:44.760 this in a five thousand square foot house. Brother, do 0:08:44.800 --> 0:08:48.000 you know that some of these young brothers are ashamed 0:08:48.000 --> 0:08:51.760 that their parents made it out of the hood because 0:08:52.120 --> 0:08:55.839 it don't sound cool when somebody asks you where you're 0:08:55.840 --> 0:08:58.960 from and you say, oh, I'm from Parentland. You know, 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:01.960 the new neighbor hood that your parents moved in with 0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:06.920 the five thousand square foot house. But our culture has 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:12.920 become as such to where we celebrate dysfunction. So a 0:09:12.960 --> 0:09:17.000 lot of my partners, their sons don't want to be 0:09:17.320 --> 0:09:20.280 like the good guy that they are today. That rather 0:09:20.360 --> 0:09:24.120 be like who they used to be because that is, unfortunately, 0:09:24.200 --> 0:09:28.319 what is celebrated within the culture. So I'm teaching our 0:09:28.400 --> 0:09:33.200 young brothers every opportunity that I get, you know, don't 0:09:33.240 --> 0:09:39.360 become a crash dummy out here trying to find an identity. See, 0:09:39.360 --> 0:09:42.440 if you don't give that young black male and identity, 0:09:42.480 --> 0:09:45.040 the streets will give him one and they'll turn him 0:09:45.040 --> 0:09:49.280 into a crash dummy. In the process. But I think 0:09:49.280 --> 0:09:53.280 it's very very sad. Bro. So many of our brothers 0:09:53.280 --> 0:09:56.079 who came up with us, they fought very hard. Some 0:09:56.120 --> 0:09:58.160 of them had to go do time, come home and 0:09:58.200 --> 0:10:01.720 get it together to put that family in a better position. 0:10:02.520 --> 0:10:06.400 But because their sons, they feel like their life is 0:10:06.440 --> 0:10:09.920 supposed to look just like NBA young boys or little babies, 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:13.040 and if their appears to be a little bit different, 0:10:13.800 --> 0:10:16.040 they'll actually be ashamed of that, some of them. 0:10:17.080 --> 0:10:22.479 Man, you said a mouthful, You said a mouthful. I 0:10:22.520 --> 0:10:26.480 don't understand it. Look, I'm from the hood, man, and 0:10:26.520 --> 0:10:32.240 that's just that's my story, right, But I wish I 0:10:32.400 --> 0:10:35.679 was not from the hood. Now. Some people would say, well, damn, 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:37.319 will you know if you wasn't from the hood, you 0:10:37.320 --> 0:10:40.600 wouldn't be who you are today. You're right, I probably 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:43.280 would be better than I am today. You see, that's 0:10:43.320 --> 0:10:47.800 the part that we don't get, you know, you don't 0:10:48.280 --> 0:10:52.920 I know Black people that will say, well, we did it. 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:56.480 It was good enough for us. We walked to school, 0:10:57.440 --> 0:11:02.079 we wore tennis shoes with them, you know. We we 0:11:03.600 --> 0:11:06.439 went without eating, or we didn't have three meals a day, 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.680 We didn't all this type of stuff. But the idea 0:11:08.720 --> 0:11:12.960 is for you to put your kids in a position 0:11:13.000 --> 0:11:15.439 where they can be better than you, where they can 0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:20.000 have better access, better options. This is why I appreciate 0:11:20.440 --> 0:11:23.480 people like ice Cube so much, who put his who 0:11:23.600 --> 0:11:27.640 set up his son Osha Jr. To be able to 0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:33.960 have better access than he had. Some people who ain't 0:11:34.000 --> 0:11:37.160 ever had ship frowns on that. People that have always 0:11:37.200 --> 0:11:41.320 had it understands that, you know, I'm doing this shit 0:11:41.559 --> 0:11:43.839 so you ain't got to go through what I went through. 0:11:44.160 --> 0:11:47.160 This is why I'm doing it. This is why t 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:51.400 I was so frustrated with his son, you know, King, 0:11:51.600 --> 0:11:53.920 you know, going out there acting reckless and saying, look, man, 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.160 I made this shit easy for you. Man, I did it, 0:11:56.200 --> 0:11:56.880 so you ain't. 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:59.400 Got to do it. But it's something that we have 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:04.440 to correct within the culture that says that in order 0:12:04.520 --> 0:12:09.000 for a black male to get his full respect, he 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:13.120 has to have been tainted at some point. He has 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:17.080 to have been a street guy. He had to have, 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.600 you know, dipped down into the lowest depths of hell, 0:12:21.840 --> 0:12:25.040 walked on the edge of a cliff between you know, 0:12:25.200 --> 0:12:29.520 Hell and Heaven. You know, you don't have to go 0:12:29.600 --> 0:12:34.200 through what some of us went through. In order to 0:12:34.240 --> 0:12:38.400 be successful. But if the culture is saying you gotta 0:12:38.480 --> 0:12:43.040 be like Willie d meaning used to be poor, used 0:12:43.080 --> 0:12:45.520 to be a robber, used to bus his gun, used 0:12:45.559 --> 0:12:48.400 to do this and that, and this is all documented, 0:12:48.440 --> 0:12:53.760 been to prison, and now he is a mogul. Okay, 0:12:53.960 --> 0:12:56.600 but what if you what if you didn't go through 0:12:56.640 --> 0:12:58.760 the used to part be part? What if you never 0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:01.480 went to jail, if you never made f's on your 0:13:01.480 --> 0:13:06.079 report card, what if you never dropped out of school? Okay? 0:13:07.160 --> 0:13:11.640 Do we still give the black mail that same respect 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:16.200 whose parents opened up those doors for him, we should, 0:13:16.600 --> 0:13:19.960 especially if he took what his parents were doing to 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:23.040 the next level. If your son takes what you're doing 0:13:23.320 --> 0:13:27.120 to the next level without going to the penitentiary, without 0:13:27.200 --> 0:13:31.400 having you know, a gang tattoos all over his neck 0:13:32.160 --> 0:13:35.679 or whatever, then I believe that he deserves the same 0:13:35.760 --> 0:13:39.560 respect then the brother who picked hisself up out of 0:13:39.600 --> 0:13:44.200 that lifestyle and built himself up into something better. But 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.200 I feel like stories like the story of jay Z, 0:13:47.400 --> 0:13:51.360 and this is not a knock at jay Z. You know, 0:13:52.040 --> 0:13:55.040 come from the hood, used to sell dope, told a 0:13:55.120 --> 0:13:59.120 thousand stories about how much dope he sold. Now the 0:13:59.240 --> 0:14:03.600 brothers billionaire. My thing is a black male should be 0:14:03.720 --> 0:14:07.520 able to reach Jay Z's level and get the same 0:14:07.720 --> 0:14:12.280 kind of respect even from the streets, without him having 0:14:12.520 --> 0:14:16.320 had to go through that dangerous part of his life. 0:14:17.080 --> 0:14:20.720 So to the young men who might be listening, bro, 0:14:21.120 --> 0:14:25.200 it's cool if you make straight a's bro. It's cool 0:14:25.280 --> 0:14:28.000 if you made it through school. It's cool. If you 0:14:28.040 --> 0:14:30.560 went to college and got a degree, get one that 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:34.000 you can use. It's cool. We all gonna make mistakes 0:14:34.000 --> 0:14:37.080 in life. But your life does not have to look 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:39.960 just like NBA young boys in order for you to 0:14:40.000 --> 0:14:43.840 be respected in the culture. And if people respect you 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:48.800 less because you walk the straight and narrow, then the 0:14:48.840 --> 0:14:49.720 hell with him. 0:14:49.600 --> 0:14:56.040 Bro, do you Here's the thing, Dereck. The people who 0:14:56.080 --> 0:15:01.720 put so much emphasis on a person having struggled or 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.040 being from the hood and ordered for him to be 0:15:04.200 --> 0:15:11.360 legit or authentic, there's wrong with society anyway. They don't 0:15:11.400 --> 0:15:18.280 even count many of these people because look, they've picked 0:15:18.360 --> 0:15:22.560 up and ran with the narrative, the propaganda that was 0:15:22.560 --> 0:15:25.360 put out there for us. Right there are people who 0:15:25.400 --> 0:15:31.720 create the propaganda, and they're the ones who say you 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:35.280 have to be like this, this or that in order 0:15:35.400 --> 0:15:38.040 to be accepted. And then you got the clowns, the 0:15:38.120 --> 0:15:45.880 coconuts and the dummies who are brainwashed, who have what's 0:15:45.880 --> 0:15:50.520 it called syndrome, what's it called Stockholm syndrome, who just 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:54.600 fall right in line with it, and they perpetuated. These 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:58.640 people don't count. What I don't understand is why there's 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:04.080 so much emphasis on respecting their views, respecting their opinion. 0:16:04.520 --> 0:16:08.280 They're not for us. Anybody who thinks like that, it's 0:16:08.400 --> 0:16:13.560 not for us. So fuck damn and the harnts they 0:16:13.640 --> 0:16:16.240 rode on. You see, that's the way I'm built like. 0:16:16.320 --> 0:16:19.680 They don't even count. It's like a It's like a troll, right, 0:16:20.880 --> 0:16:25.400 I got a saying on Willie d Live our block trolls, 0:16:25.520 --> 0:16:32.640 because trolls a hose. You see, a troll main objective 0:16:33.800 --> 0:16:39.920 is to cause confusion. They go in and somebody can 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:45.200 have a form where everybody's all positive energy, everything is great, 0:16:45.600 --> 0:16:48.640 it's just a beautiful conversation, and they'll just jump in 0:16:48.680 --> 0:16:51.400 and throw a monkey wrench in and just basically just 0:16:51.720 --> 0:16:54.440 throw a grenade and then walk off. They don't care 0:16:54.480 --> 0:16:57.520 what happens after that, whether you fall for it or don't, 0:16:57.560 --> 0:17:00.960 They don't care. But if you if you do far forward, 0:17:01.000 --> 0:17:04.000 they actually care more, but it doesn't matter to them. 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:09.199 Their trolls and their goal is never to be progressive. 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.119 Their goal is never to add to society, to be 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:15.280 of use to society. Their goal is to be the 0:17:15.440 --> 0:17:19.680 nothing that they are, nothing, the nothing that they are, 0:17:20.000 --> 0:17:24.160 So they don't count. This is why I disrespect them 0:17:24.600 --> 0:17:30.160 so emphatically. They don't count. So we shouldn't put such 0:17:30.160 --> 0:17:33.840 an emphasis on these type of people who really don't 0:17:33.840 --> 0:17:35.879 count in the first place. 0:17:36.560 --> 0:17:42.600 I think the way to combat that is. You know, 0:17:42.640 --> 0:17:46.399 there's a saying right now that attention is the new drug. 0:17:47.640 --> 0:17:50.720 I would go further than that and say that attention 0:17:51.119 --> 0:17:55.320 is the new oxygen for a lot of these youngsters. 0:17:56.320 --> 0:18:00.680 They live it, they breathe it, and seeing a lot 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:06.359 of them, they'll put themselves in death's highway just to 0:18:06.400 --> 0:18:11.639 get attention. You know, the reason that a lot of 0:18:11.680 --> 0:18:15.280 black boys want to be football players is because that's 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:19.119 who gets all the attention in the household. If the 0:18:19.200 --> 0:18:22.560 family sat around and watch chess tournaments on Sunday, they 0:18:22.600 --> 0:18:25.320 want to be chess players. It's not just about them 0:18:25.359 --> 0:18:28.080 wanting to grow up and make money being an NFL 0:18:28.200 --> 0:18:31.520 ball player. It goes back to the childhood in them 0:18:31.560 --> 0:18:35.720 seeing who gets the attention, who gets the time, the 0:18:35.840 --> 0:18:40.640 quality time from my parents. That's who I want to be, 0:18:40.720 --> 0:18:43.560 That's what I want to be like. So what we 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:47.760 have to do is we have to be we have 0:18:47.880 --> 0:18:52.959 to be aggressive in our praise when these young boys 0:18:53.080 --> 0:18:57.160 do something right. You know, we have to be more 0:18:57.160 --> 0:19:01.200 aggressive in our praise than we are in our condemnation 0:19:01.440 --> 0:19:06.240 of them when they do something wrong. So if they 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:09.840 make all aids on their report card, we make a 0:19:09.880 --> 0:19:14.040 big deal out of that. If you catch one of 0:19:14.080 --> 0:19:18.240 them helping the elder take their groceries in next, we 0:19:18.400 --> 0:19:20.560 make a big deal out of it. Because at the 0:19:20.680 --> 0:19:24.000 end of the day, they all want to be celebrities. 0:19:24.119 --> 0:19:27.600 And I have a saying, Bro, I say, every child 0:19:27.640 --> 0:19:33.200 should feel like a celebrity in their own household. Feel 0:19:33.200 --> 0:19:35.960 like a celebrity in your own house, Bro, do you 0:19:36.040 --> 0:19:39.000 know what that feels like. If you make your child 0:19:39.119 --> 0:19:42.960 feel like a celebrity in their own household, then they're 0:19:43.119 --> 0:19:48.040 less likely to go out into the streets and pull 0:19:48.080 --> 0:19:50.800 a crash dummy move to try to get attention to 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:55.400 be famous in the streets. So I think it, well, 0:19:55.440 --> 0:19:59.400 I don't think I know it all starts in the household. 0:20:00.119 --> 0:20:03.600 Coming up from the household, it extends, you know, to 0:20:03.720 --> 0:20:07.840 the hood. So those of you who may be listening 0:20:07.960 --> 0:20:11.800 who have sons, we have to make sure that we're 0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:15.440 letting our sons know how proud of them, that we 0:20:15.680 --> 0:20:18.480 how proud of them we are of them when they 0:20:18.560 --> 0:20:21.600 do something right, because that's really all they looking for, Bro, 0:20:21.800 --> 0:20:26.280 They're looking for time, and they're looking for attention, and 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:31.680 if we don't give it to them, then the traps 0:20:31.680 --> 0:20:34.640 that are waiting out in the streets will lure them 0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:37.560 in the position to get the attention that they want, 0:20:37.800 --> 0:20:40.840 but they'll end up dead in jail. Bro, I'm talking 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:45.000 about guys are out here dying from posts that they're 0:20:45.040 --> 0:20:50.639 making on Instagram, certain posts that they this one brother, 0:20:51.160 --> 0:20:57.040 bTB Savage. Yeah, bTB, that's a bad situation, my brother. 0:20:58.400 --> 0:21:01.960 And don't get me wrong, you know, my condolences go 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:05.359 out to his family because they had nothing to do 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:09.920 with this. But I don't know that it was a 0:21:09.960 --> 0:21:13.760 wise thing to do to make the Instagram post that 0:21:13.800 --> 0:21:17.919 he made in the blood of somebody who he just 0:21:18.040 --> 0:21:24.200 killed in self defense that may have cost him his life. 0:21:24.240 --> 0:21:25.639 That's the point that I'm making. 0:21:26.040 --> 0:21:28.720 The thing is that he had already won. Like, any 0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:34.320 time you defend yourself successfully, you're gonna get praised, right 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:38.119 because there's a lot of bullies in our society, a 0:21:38.160 --> 0:21:40.560 lot of people who take advantage of others, people getting 0:21:40.560 --> 0:21:42.920 guns stuck in their faces every day. So people were 0:21:42.960 --> 0:21:46.320 on his side because they can empathize with that. Now 0:21:48.080 --> 0:21:51.320 he had a right to defend himself, yes, against someone 0:21:51.359 --> 0:21:57.720 who was attacking him that right. Where he lost that 0:21:58.080 --> 0:22:00.480 where he takes the l is when he takes it 0:22:00.520 --> 0:22:03.280 too far and starts to brag about it. One thing 0:22:03.720 --> 0:22:09.520 that I don't do is brag about winning after I win. 0:22:09.640 --> 0:22:12.000 If I beat somebody, I don't have to brag. I 0:22:12.040 --> 0:22:15.200 already want everybody know. I want you know I beat you. 0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:20.040 I've seen people get killed in dice games, bragging, card games, 0:22:20.080 --> 0:22:25.120 bragging after basketball games, bragging. When you beat somebody, they're 0:22:25.160 --> 0:22:29.159 already humiliated, right, So if you've already done, you've already 0:22:29.160 --> 0:22:33.880 done something to their spirit and you know it, they 0:22:33.960 --> 0:22:36.800 know it. If you had an audience, the audience knows it, right, 0:22:37.280 --> 0:22:40.080 So I just leave it at that and keep it moving. 0:22:41.080 --> 0:22:46.520 But if you go to like antagonizing somebody after you've 0:22:46.680 --> 0:22:51.919 just defeated them and they're already upset. You could trigger 0:22:52.040 --> 0:22:54.280 something in them that is. 0:22:54.720 --> 0:22:55.760 The push them over the edge. 0:22:55.800 --> 0:22:58.120 You could push them over the edge, and it could, 0:22:58.119 --> 0:23:00.120 it could. It could entice them to want to do 0:23:00.240 --> 0:23:02.520 something bad to you, like it can entice him to 0:23:02.560 --> 0:23:05.760 want to take your life. And this youngster after, you know, 0:23:06.400 --> 0:23:09.719 his girl is the one that actually squeezed the trigger. 0:23:09.800 --> 0:23:12.560 You know, she's the one who actually killed the dude, 0:23:12.600 --> 0:23:15.840 is right, Yeah, but he had a struggle with the 0:23:15.880 --> 0:23:18.159 guy and he was telling her to shoot him. This 0:23:18.640 --> 0:23:24.479 is his words. So after the murder, you fast forward 0:23:25.320 --> 0:23:29.320 a couple months later or so, he's in Houston. He 0:23:29.480 --> 0:23:35.439 posts a photograph standing in the dry blood of the 0:23:35.520 --> 0:23:40.159 guy he killed. He went back to the scene, not 0:23:40.200 --> 0:23:42.840 two months later, but obviously this was probably the same 0:23:42.920 --> 0:23:45.439 day or whatever. He went back to the scene of 0:23:45.480 --> 0:23:49.040 the crime and took pictures of himself. So he saved 0:23:49.080 --> 0:23:51.160 him and he posted him a couple of months later 0:23:51.160 --> 0:23:56.600 on social media and standing in the blood of the 0:23:56.640 --> 0:23:57.840 guy that he You know what. 0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:02.240 It reminded me of. It reminded me of that we 0:24:02.359 --> 0:24:05.919 can't be stopped album cover was that was that we 0:24:05.960 --> 0:24:09.440 can't be stopped after Bill shot himself in the eye. 0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:13.960 That's yeah, that's we can't be stopped right and how 0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:18.359 it was your idea, man, let's we need to take 0:24:18.440 --> 0:24:21.239 Let's take it right here. Yeah, just happened to be 0:24:21.240 --> 0:24:24.919 in a hospital where Bill had inflicted his gunshot wound 0:24:24.960 --> 0:24:28.000 on himself, took a photo, took a picture of the 0:24:28.000 --> 0:24:30.480 album cover. I remember when that album cover came out 0:24:31.119 --> 0:24:34.480 because the cover itself was so controversial, it made you 0:24:34.520 --> 0:24:37.360 want to go get the album right now, comparing these 0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:41.160 two situations, because nobody killed, nobody, nobody was bragging about, 0:24:41.640 --> 0:24:45.880 you know, but I'm thinking that, first of all, why 0:24:45.920 --> 0:24:49.080 would you take a photo like that? Why would you 0:24:49.119 --> 0:24:51.480 take a photo like that? If I had to kill 0:24:51.520 --> 0:24:56.840 someone in self defense, the last thing you would see 0:24:56.880 --> 0:24:59.919 me do is take a photo in that person's dry blood. 0:25:00.200 --> 0:25:03.199 Now now, And I'm not eating rest in peace or 0:25:03.240 --> 0:25:06.080 however y'all say it to be TV Savage. I'm not 0:25:06.240 --> 0:25:12.000 even disparaging the brother. But what I'm saying is that's 0:25:12.080 --> 0:25:16.560 something in the water, that's something in the culture that 0:25:16.720 --> 0:25:20.800 made him think that number one, taking the photo would 0:25:20.880 --> 0:25:24.160 be advantageous to his career, because that's what I think 0:25:24.200 --> 0:25:26.040 it has something to do with men. Let me get 0:25:26.040 --> 0:25:27.119 that photo real quick. 0:25:28.240 --> 0:25:31.920 It's all about and posting the photo. 0:25:32.520 --> 0:25:36.880 This might accelerate the sale of my music. This may accelerate. 0:25:37.440 --> 0:25:44.200 But you putting yourself on death's highway for what, brother? 0:25:44.320 --> 0:25:49.760 The attention, the money ain't even worth it. And I 0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:52.280 think that that's what we have to take a step 0:25:52.359 --> 0:25:55.240 back and look at, just not the fact that he 0:25:55.400 --> 0:26:00.440 took the picture and posted the picture, but why he 0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:04.840 did it. Who are you trying to impress? 0:26:05.440 --> 0:26:05.520 Like? 0:26:06.720 --> 0:26:09.880 Where where does where does this? Where does doing this 0:26:10.000 --> 0:26:12.680 move you forward in your career? 0:26:13.320 --> 0:26:13.560 Man? 0:26:13.640 --> 0:26:19.000 Unfortunately, this kind of madness is celebrated in certain aspects 0:26:19.000 --> 0:26:23.199 of our culture. Yes, you kill somebody's op, you go 0:26:23.359 --> 0:26:26.480 take a picture by the grave. You know there was 0:26:26.520 --> 0:26:30.960 a time, brother, that even in the heat of the 0:26:31.000 --> 0:26:35.399 most you know, aggressive battle rap, you didn't disrespect the dead. 0:26:36.720 --> 0:26:39.040 But I think but it ain't. It ain't got nothing 0:26:39.080 --> 0:26:42.720 to do with the dead. You're taunting his homies because 0:26:42.760 --> 0:26:46.440 you believe that this is what's going to get you attention. 0:26:47.000 --> 0:26:51.639 And it's sad to say that certain elements of the 0:26:51.800 --> 0:26:56.959 music industry according this kind of thing. And I believe 0:26:57.000 --> 0:26:58.919 this is how a lot of these youngsters feel like 0:26:58.960 --> 0:27:02.480 they could get recorded. Did you know by putting this 0:27:02.560 --> 0:27:05.560 kind of content out, that's true because it attracts attention 0:27:05.640 --> 0:27:07.879 to their music and to their PERSONA. 0:27:08.080 --> 0:27:11.280 Got a boys reloaded podcasts will be right back after 0:27:11.280 --> 0:27:11.680 this week. 0:27:18.720 --> 0:27:22.880 You know, I was a very reckless young man, as 0:27:22.920 --> 0:27:28.560 you know my bed witness. But it wasn't until I 0:27:28.640 --> 0:27:35.960 actually decided that I wanted to live that I started 0:27:36.280 --> 0:27:40.119 protecting myself better so that I could have a future. 0:27:40.160 --> 0:27:44.040 Do you remember at at what moment, like what happened? 0:27:44.080 --> 0:27:47.520 Was it particular incident that they say, you know, I 0:27:47.520 --> 0:27:48.040 want to live. 0:27:48.240 --> 0:27:52.399 I saw people getting killed my age. Yeah, I was 0:27:52.440 --> 0:27:57.040 seeing them getting murdered. It's like and I saw a 0:27:57.160 --> 0:28:01.479 lot of things, simple things like you get into a 0:28:01.520 --> 0:28:09.359 fight at a basketball court. You leave, You allowed the 0:28:09.400 --> 0:28:10.920 guy to leave, You beat him up, you allow him 0:28:10.920 --> 0:28:14.920 to leave, You continue to play basketball. He comes back, boo, boom, 0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:21.960 gun you down. I see a guy calls another guy's 0:28:22.000 --> 0:28:25.120 sister the B word. She goes to get her brother. 0:28:25.240 --> 0:28:28.120 Brother comes back with a shotgun, blows his head off. 0:28:29.240 --> 0:28:38.000 I see guys getting into a fight over a parking space. 0:28:39.520 --> 0:28:43.880 Guy puts a gun out, boom, Another guy bullying a guy. 0:28:44.640 --> 0:28:50.640 This is he This is when we're like teenagers, like sixteen. 0:28:52.280 --> 0:28:56.320 This guy's a bully. So we're at the skating rink 0:28:56.360 --> 0:29:02.240 and he cuts in on the guy slow dragon his girl. Now, 0:29:03.920 --> 0:29:08.040 this guy had done this a hundred times, just bullying. 0:29:08.120 --> 0:29:10.360 Guys just go in while you dance with your girl. 0:29:10.400 --> 0:29:13.000 They just get right in front of her, you know, 0:29:13.080 --> 0:29:15.800 and push you out the way and start dancing. And 0:29:15.840 --> 0:29:17.840 he had buddies around him. If you tried to fight, 0:29:17.960 --> 0:29:24.160 they just jump you. So they go outside and dude 0:29:24.760 --> 0:29:28.200 goes to his car to get to get his gun. 0:29:29.280 --> 0:29:31.000 Guy follows him out. What you're gonna do, what you're 0:29:31.000 --> 0:29:32.480 gonna do, You're gonna shoot me, what you're gonna do, 0:29:32.480 --> 0:29:36.040 You're gonna do? Boom boom, boom, boom boom. Put him 0:29:36.040 --> 0:29:39.000 on the front porch at his mama house. You see. 0:29:39.200 --> 0:29:42.240 So I've seen almost damn near any kind of scenario. 0:29:42.480 --> 0:29:44.400 You can get caught up in some foolishness and get 0:29:44.440 --> 0:29:46.800 your life taken. And I was just like, so I 0:29:47.000 --> 0:29:51.480 used all of those experiences and I just started moving 0:29:51.920 --> 0:29:55.640 in a different way. I don't think that experience is 0:29:55.640 --> 0:29:58.520 the best teacher. I think that other people's experience is 0:29:58.520 --> 0:29:59.160 the best teacher. 0:29:59.200 --> 0:29:59.600 That's real. 0:30:00.280 --> 0:30:04.760 So I mean, if if you go around that corner 0:30:05.000 --> 0:30:08.200 and come back bleeding profusely and you say, will don't 0:30:08.240 --> 0:30:10.520 go around that corner, they just I just got stabbed. 0:30:10.560 --> 0:30:12.280 They stabbed it. Do it out there, got a machete. 0:30:12.320 --> 0:30:15.120 He stab at everybody. And I take my dumb ass 0:30:15.120 --> 0:30:19.680 around the corner anyway and get stabbed. You know, does 0:30:19.720 --> 0:30:23.360 that make sense? No, I'm gonna say, Okay, I take 0:30:23.400 --> 0:30:27.520 your word. You bleeding, I see blood. You just came 0:30:27.600 --> 0:30:30.720 around that corner. Bleed, dude, wild in a machete. You 0:30:30.760 --> 0:30:34.000 know what, Let me make sure I don't go around 0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:37.720 that corner. That's me. So I just I just picked up. 0:30:37.760 --> 0:30:40.360 And I still made a few mistakes along the way, 0:30:40.400 --> 0:30:44.960 but I was able to greatly reduce my chances of 0:30:45.040 --> 0:30:51.239 checking out early by just being observant and love it 0:30:51.240 --> 0:30:56.080 on myself. See, once I learned to love myself, I 0:30:56.160 --> 0:30:59.240 actually started learning to love other people, like really love. 0:31:00.280 --> 0:31:04.080 And I understood that love ain't just me helping you fight. 0:31:06.120 --> 0:31:08.640 Love ain't me that's at Love, ain't just me. 0:31:08.720 --> 0:31:12.080 Helping you go shoot up the block or shoot some dudes. 0:31:12.840 --> 0:31:16.400 Love is me telling you it ain't worth it, right, 0:31:16.760 --> 0:31:18.320 And and that's as loyalty. 0:31:18.640 --> 0:31:21.479 Yeah, love is telling me, is me telling you it 0:31:21.520 --> 0:31:27.800 ain't worth it, homie. Love is me seeing the situation 0:31:28.120 --> 0:31:31.720 and being able to say, say, bro, man, them dudes 0:31:31.720 --> 0:31:34.000 is crash dumbis man? Let them crash into somebody else. 0:31:34.000 --> 0:31:35.920 Don't throw your life away with a food you know 0:31:36.080 --> 0:31:38.760 and ain't got nothing to do but being afraid. But 0:31:38.800 --> 0:31:42.720 you do have to pick your battles. So a friend, 0:31:43.040 --> 0:31:47.040 a true friend, would taking consideration what would happen in 0:31:47.080 --> 0:31:52.440 the event of your demise and your parents, your siblings, 0:31:52.600 --> 0:31:57.000 the people who love you, your children, your wife, what would 0:31:57.000 --> 0:31:59.960 happen to them if you were if you were murdered? 0:32:00.440 --> 0:32:04.960 And on my watch. So when I look at you, 0:32:05.160 --> 0:32:08.520 I don't just look at Derek. I see your daughter, 0:32:09.600 --> 0:32:12.720 I see your wife, I see your mother. Yes, sir, 0:32:12.960 --> 0:32:16.760 people that I know that love you. Yeah, so I'm 0:32:16.800 --> 0:32:20.440 going to protect you, Yes, sir, that's love to me. 0:32:20.600 --> 0:32:22.800 But see, when you're growing up a lot of times, 0:32:22.840 --> 0:32:27.680 when you grow up in certain environments, you learn everything 0:32:27.760 --> 0:32:30.280 that's right is wrong and what's wrong is right. 0:32:30.960 --> 0:32:36.440 Right, And that's also loyalty. Will you know, among the 0:32:36.480 --> 0:32:41.320 street organizations, loyalty is very important. I was speaking to 0:32:41.600 --> 0:32:45.120 a group of boys out in Miami last week, and 0:32:45.200 --> 0:32:49.240 I was telling them that there is a difference between 0:32:50.040 --> 0:32:55.960 loyalty and being disloyal to yourself. You know, if somebody 0:32:56.000 --> 0:32:57.800 comes up to you and say, hey, in order for 0:32:57.920 --> 0:33:02.200 us to accept you into the gang, then you're gonna 0:33:02.200 --> 0:33:05.880 have to show your loyalty by robbing that convenience store 0:33:06.320 --> 0:33:09.600 and popping the store onwer on your way out. If 0:33:09.600 --> 0:33:12.600 you want to be a part of this gang, well 0:33:13.120 --> 0:33:15.360 they're telling you they want you to be loyal to them, 0:33:15.400 --> 0:33:18.560 but at the cost of you being disloyal to yourself. 0:33:19.680 --> 0:33:22.480 So that's why it's key that which you said, I 0:33:22.560 --> 0:33:25.800 learned to love myself, then I learn the love of 0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:28.840 the people. It's the same with loyalty. You got to 0:33:28.880 --> 0:33:31.000 be loyal to yourself. You got to be loyal to 0:33:31.160 --> 0:33:33.320 your gifts, your talents. You got to be loyal to 0:33:33.920 --> 0:33:36.920 your life and the plans that you have set for yourself. 0:33:36.960 --> 0:33:39.400 And let me tell you something, if you are a 0:33:39.440 --> 0:33:43.280 black male in America and you do not have a plan, 0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:48.320 then you have a problem. You should be able to 0:33:48.320 --> 0:33:51.800 go up to every young black male in America. I 0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:54.520 don't give a damn. If you're ten years old, you 0:33:54.640 --> 0:33:56.680 ask him what you want to be in life, what 0:33:56.760 --> 0:33:59.200 you want to do in life, where you're going. He 0:33:59.360 --> 0:34:03.280 needs to be able to tell you, because if he's 0:34:03.320 --> 0:34:06.840 not able to tell you, we know that somebody got 0:34:06.840 --> 0:34:10.640 a plan for him once he's once he If he 0:34:10.760 --> 0:34:12.640 tell you he don't have no plan, then you need 0:34:12.719 --> 0:34:15.480 to sit down with him and help him map out 0:34:15.480 --> 0:34:19.600 of plan based on his skills, his gifts, his talents, 0:34:19.840 --> 0:34:25.640 and his interests. The earlier you catch them, the greater 0:34:26.040 --> 0:34:31.400 of opportunity. You have to not just save them, but 0:34:31.480 --> 0:34:35.719 set them on a course for success. You know, and 0:34:36.440 --> 0:34:39.800 we can't shy away from those who have already quote 0:34:39.920 --> 0:34:45.160 unquote gone astray. In my in my book New Rules, 0:34:46.719 --> 0:34:52.400 I write a chapter about how we need to repurpose gangs. 0:34:52.520 --> 0:34:53.760 Yeah, stee the cover. 0:34:54.000 --> 0:34:58.120 New Rules, New Rules. Yes sir, Yes sir, yes sir. 0:34:58.239 --> 0:34:59.920 We got we got a good. Do we get this? 0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:02.560 We captured that good? We got it. 0:35:03.280 --> 0:35:08.040 On page twelve we talk about repurposing gangs, and I 0:35:08.120 --> 0:35:13.680 tell the story of the wolves in Yellowstone Park. You know, 0:35:13.880 --> 0:35:17.760 wolves are predators by nature, and there were too many 0:35:17.800 --> 0:35:20.560 of them in Yellowstone Park, so they got rid of 0:35:20.640 --> 0:35:23.080 all of the wolves. But when they got rid of 0:35:23.120 --> 0:35:26.919 the wolves, the deer came and took over. The deer 0:35:26.960 --> 0:35:30.040 started eating up all the vegetation. When they ate up 0:35:30.080 --> 0:35:33.440 all the vegetation, the trees stopped growing, the rivers started 0:35:33.520 --> 0:35:35.920 drying up, and people didn't want to go to the 0:35:35.960 --> 0:35:40.200 park anymore. So what they did is they allowed a 0:35:40.400 --> 0:35:44.839 few of the wolves back into Yellowstone Park. Yeah, they 0:35:44.960 --> 0:35:47.520 killed a couple of deer, but it ran them away. 0:35:48.080 --> 0:35:51.480 Next thing, you know, the vegetation, vegetation started growing back. 0:35:51.800 --> 0:35:55.840 When the vegetation started growing back, the trees grew taller 0:35:55.880 --> 0:35:59.640 than they'd ever grown before. The rivers started running again. 0:35:59.680 --> 0:36:03.680 They were all cleaned up, and barry started growing from 0:36:03.680 --> 0:36:06.000 the trees. So now bears were coming to pick the 0:36:06.040 --> 0:36:09.520 berries off the trees, and rabbits were coming and running around. 0:36:10.360 --> 0:36:13.400 And what happened is instead of just getting rid of 0:36:13.440 --> 0:36:18.640 the wolves, they just repurposed them. When you look at 0:36:18.680 --> 0:36:24.560 the original purpose for black so called gangs, the original 0:36:24.640 --> 0:36:30.440 plan was to protect the community against white supremacist gangs. Right, 0:36:30.960 --> 0:36:36.160 that was the original purpose. But the politics of crack cocaine, 0:36:36.200 --> 0:36:41.880 the politics of mass incarceration, the politics of them you know, 0:36:42.520 --> 0:36:47.240 taking foreign agents out of Russia and dropping them into 0:36:47.280 --> 0:36:51.239 the hood as agents among the gangs to turn the 0:36:51.320 --> 0:36:54.680 gangs against one another. You know, the past three four 0:36:54.800 --> 0:37:00.799 decades of gang warfare has been ridiculously the multuus to 0:37:00.920 --> 0:37:03.879 black life and black men. So we have to look 0:37:03.920 --> 0:37:08.799 at how or why the gangs were originally started and 0:37:09.080 --> 0:37:16.480 repurpose them back so that the goal is to build 0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:20.240 the community and not destroy the community. The government puts 0:37:20.600 --> 0:37:24.920 billions of dollars a year into the eradication of gangs, 0:37:25.920 --> 0:37:28.960 and they may as well turn that money into toilet 0:37:29.000 --> 0:37:32.600 paper and wipe their behinds with it, because gangs ain't 0:37:32.640 --> 0:37:36.480 going nowhere. It's if hip hop is fifty years old, 0:37:37.760 --> 0:37:42.759 gangs are older than hip hop. And as long as 0:37:42.840 --> 0:37:48.600 the government creates the conditions, the family conditions, the community 0:37:48.640 --> 0:37:51.960 conditions that would make these youngsters want to join gangs, 0:37:52.120 --> 0:37:55.840 that will always be gangs. But they have to be 0:37:55.960 --> 0:38:01.319 reorganized and they have to be repurposed and bring them 0:38:01.360 --> 0:38:05.360 back to their original agenda, and that is the protection 0:38:05.719 --> 0:38:08.319 of the black community, the protection of black women, the 0:38:08.360 --> 0:38:12.080 protection of black children, the protection of our elders, and 0:38:12.120 --> 0:38:15.520 the organizing of us as black men to be the 0:38:15.560 --> 0:38:16.960 defenders of our agenda. 0:38:18.080 --> 0:38:24.480 How do you repurpose these law enforcement gangs. That's a 0:38:24.600 --> 0:38:26.880 very good question, you know, because they are a gang. 0:38:27.360 --> 0:38:31.279 I saw something in Kansas City, a woman by the 0:38:31.360 --> 0:38:38.400 name of Monicia Smith. She is suing the Kansas City 0:38:38.960 --> 0:38:48.400 Police Department for illegal searching, illegal search and death. They 0:38:48.480 --> 0:38:51.799 broke into the woman's house. They kicked the door in 0:38:51.840 --> 0:38:56.359 with a warrant and stole twenty thousand dollars. So the 0:38:56.400 --> 0:39:02.880 backstory is Monica Monicia wakes up in the middle of 0:39:02.960 --> 0:39:06.640 the night to a knock on her door. She looks 0:39:06.640 --> 0:39:09.720 out the people sees somebody who appears to be shot. 0:39:10.840 --> 0:39:13.440 Afraid for a life, she doesn't open the door. She 0:39:13.480 --> 0:39:18.360 gets contacted by an officer who tells her I'll be 0:39:18.440 --> 0:39:22.640 by to pick up the video. She spooked because she 0:39:23.320 --> 0:39:25.799 has in the back of her mind all of these 0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:30.960 police killings of black people, specifically black men, So she 0:39:31.120 --> 0:39:35.680 don't open the door rightfully, sore rightfully. So so they 0:39:35.719 --> 0:39:39.040 decide that, you know what, we're going to come in 0:39:39.120 --> 0:39:41.960 and get it. So a couple of days later they 0:39:42.000 --> 0:39:46.520 go in, they kick her door down, and she I 0:39:46.520 --> 0:39:48.759 guess she gets she gets alerted some type of way 0:39:48.800 --> 0:39:51.640 that they're at our house. She speeds over to her house, 0:39:51.880 --> 0:39:54.520 jumps out the car with her daughter, and they start 0:39:54.600 --> 0:39:57.040 calling them all kinds of names, make them, they draw 0:39:57.080 --> 0:40:00.799 down on them, make them put their hands up. She 0:40:01.520 --> 0:40:07.600 fully cooperates. She allows them to take DNA samples, uh 0:40:08.000 --> 0:40:10.480 do blood testing that was from the blood that was 0:40:10.480 --> 0:40:14.799 on the door. And then she goes back in the 0:40:14.840 --> 0:40:19.360 house and she realizes how money is gone. She immediately 0:40:19.440 --> 0:40:23.600 contacts them and say, hey, man, you know y'all, you 0:40:23.640 --> 0:40:26.680 know came in here, took my money. Of course, they 0:40:26.719 --> 0:40:32.800 played dumb, so she had to escalate it, and eventually 0:40:32.880 --> 0:40:35.560 she ends up filing a lawsuit and telling her story 0:40:35.600 --> 0:40:39.440 and putting them on blasts. But this is something that 0:40:39.480 --> 0:40:42.600 has been going on for a while in the US. 0:40:43.360 --> 0:40:52.040 There's a big uptick in police stealing money in merchandise 0:40:52.840 --> 0:40:57.560 from the citizens of America. They're they're pulling people over 0:40:57.560 --> 0:41:01.400 in their cars, They're stealing money from people, take illegally 0:41:01.440 --> 0:41:05.000 searching people, stealing their money, and they're kicking in doors 0:41:05.440 --> 0:41:09.920 with bogus warrants, breaking into people's homes and stealing their 0:41:09.920 --> 0:41:13.319 money and their merchandise, taking whatever they want. I just 0:41:13.400 --> 0:41:22.200 saw some group, another group of officers who who inadvertently 0:41:23.760 --> 0:41:30.160 captured themselves on video stealing money from a person that 0:41:30.200 --> 0:41:32.960 they identified as a suspect. They were at this person's 0:41:32.960 --> 0:41:37.279 house and they're going through the closet, taking money out 0:41:37.360 --> 0:41:40.200 the purse, taking money out of clothes, and just stealing, 0:41:40.400 --> 0:41:43.040 just going in. It's like the whole idea to go 0:41:43.120 --> 0:41:46.200 in here is not to oh so that we can 0:41:46.239 --> 0:41:48.360 secure justice. The idea is to go in here and 0:41:48.360 --> 0:41:49.360 steal people's stuff. 0:41:49.719 --> 0:41:55.600 Yeah, yes, sir. There was a Kool Klux Klan grand 0:41:55.680 --> 0:41:59.520 dragging by the name of JB. Stoner, and back in 0:41:59.560 --> 0:42:03.760 the sixth he made a statement. He said, sooner or later, 0:42:05.120 --> 0:42:09.200 he said, very soon, you won't see Ku Klux clan 0:42:09.360 --> 0:42:14.440 members wearing white and white hoods and white sheets. He said, 0:42:14.480 --> 0:42:20.040 we'll be wearing police uniforms. We'll be wearing firemen uniforms. 0:42:20.880 --> 0:42:25.439 This will be the new uniform for many of our members. 0:42:26.160 --> 0:42:31.719 And so there was a concerted effort for white supremacists 0:42:31.840 --> 0:42:36.640 to infiltrate these police departments. You asked the question, how 0:42:36.680 --> 0:42:41.720 do we repurpose these police gangs. You cannot repurpose them 0:42:42.680 --> 0:42:47.360 because to re means to do again. To repurpose means 0:42:47.600 --> 0:42:53.719 to bring them back to their original purpose. Their original 0:42:53.880 --> 0:42:59.239 purpose was slave catching. See, I don't care what anybody 0:42:59.320 --> 0:43:03.600 tells you. The job of the police departments in America 0:43:04.360 --> 0:43:07.640 are to make certain that what happens in black and 0:43:07.719 --> 0:43:12.360 poor neighborhoods does not spill over into what happens into 0:43:12.480 --> 0:43:16.719 rich neighborhoods and white neighborhoods. That's the purpose of the 0:43:16.719 --> 0:43:23.920 police departments, and whatever happens within that context is free games, 0:43:24.080 --> 0:43:28.680 fair game. But I agree with you. You know, even 0:43:28.920 --> 0:43:34.840 after the George Floyd marches in the whole era, the 0:43:34.880 --> 0:43:37.319 whole George Floyd that was literally might as what we 0:43:37.400 --> 0:43:41.960 call it the George Floyd era, you would think that 0:43:42.080 --> 0:43:45.759 these police officers would be more careful, or that they 0:43:45.800 --> 0:43:48.719 would take a step back because they don't want to 0:43:48.760 --> 0:43:51.719 see America go up and smoke again. It appears they 0:43:51.760 --> 0:43:57.560 have gotten worse, and as time goes on, they're gonna 0:43:57.600 --> 0:44:00.480 get worse. Which is one of the reason is that 0:44:00.640 --> 0:44:06.120 we have to repurpose street organizations and that black men 0:44:06.280 --> 0:44:10.720 like myself and yourself, we have to be serious about 0:44:10.719 --> 0:44:14.920 the business of organizing these young men so that we 0:44:15.000 --> 0:44:19.439 can police and patrol our own neighborhoods. I don't think 0:44:19.520 --> 0:44:23.760 that there's any other way for us to get justice, 0:44:23.880 --> 0:44:27.040 because I think it was it was W. E. B. D. 0:44:27.160 --> 0:44:30.600 Boys said that you cannot expect to get justice from 0:44:30.640 --> 0:44:33.080 a system that was not set up to give you 0:44:33.200 --> 0:44:38.040 that in the first place. So when I see good 0:44:38.080 --> 0:44:44.400 police work, I'm surprised. When I see that gang activity 0:44:44.760 --> 0:44:48.839 what they call the Blue klucks Klan, I'm not surprised, 0:44:48.840 --> 0:44:53.279 dear brother, because if you study the history of policing 0:44:53.520 --> 0:44:57.200 in the United States of America, we have always been 0:44:57.280 --> 0:44:58.480 the targets. 0:44:58.520 --> 0:45:03.160 Always Little boys reloaded podcasts will be right back after 0:45:03.200 --> 0:45:09.360 the break. 0:45:10.560 --> 0:45:16.080 Did you see the video of the police officers who 0:45:16.320 --> 0:45:21.239 apparently gunned down the guy who robbed didn't rob the bank, 0:45:21.280 --> 0:45:24.120 but shot up the bank the employee. The bank employee 0:45:24.239 --> 0:45:24.919 shot up the bank. 0:45:25.000 --> 0:45:26.919 No, sir, I didn't see that. You didn't see that, no, sir. 0:45:27.920 --> 0:45:32.080 Well, in any event, I'm on one of those pro 0:45:32.200 --> 0:45:37.759 cop farms checking them out, and they're like just all 0:45:37.800 --> 0:45:40.040 of the oh, praise you know, you know how you 0:45:40.080 --> 0:45:45.919 go all praise, all praise la la the law, right, 0:45:46.520 --> 0:45:49.560 they just praising good cops. This is why cops are 0:45:49.600 --> 0:45:53.839 heroes and cops and cops. This happened in Louisville. This 0:45:53.880 --> 0:45:58.520 is Louisville Metropolitan Police Department. These are the same people 0:45:58.520 --> 0:46:02.440 who killed Breonna Taylor, right, and they're just all praise, 0:46:02.560 --> 0:46:04.640 all praises. I went in there like a troll and 0:46:04.719 --> 0:46:07.480 through the monkey rich and I threw the grenade and 0:46:07.520 --> 0:46:10.680 turned my back. I say, is this the same Uh? 0:46:10.920 --> 0:46:14.000 Is this the same police department that killed Breonna Taylor? 0:46:15.280 --> 0:46:21.080 And they were mad? Yeah, get get Like, what all 0:46:21.080 --> 0:46:26.160 it takes is like one act of bravery right for them, 0:46:26.200 --> 0:46:29.160 and then they're coming for the next thousand infractions. 0:46:30.640 --> 0:46:30.719 Right. 0:46:30.800 --> 0:46:33.279 I say, this is why we need cops because of 0:46:33.360 --> 0:46:36.759 these type of situations. Well, these type of situations don't 0:46:36.800 --> 0:46:43.040 happen often enough to justify police officers overreach. You see, like, 0:46:43.800 --> 0:46:47.279 these type of things don't happen often. But what does 0:46:47.360 --> 0:46:53.480 happen often is police stretching their authority, beating up people, stealing, robbing. 0:46:53.280 --> 0:46:55.960 Killing, rapist and not being held to count not being 0:46:56.000 --> 0:47:01.879 held accountable. Right, And it's the lack of accountability. It's 0:47:01.920 --> 0:47:07.200 the lack of accountability that creates them us that us 0:47:07.280 --> 0:47:12.640 versus them mentality When it comes to black people in America, 0:47:12.719 --> 0:47:16.799 it is a justifiable mentality. It's the same with the 0:47:16.840 --> 0:47:21.480 health industry. There's a doctor by the name of j. 0:47:21.719 --> 0:47:28.680 Marion Sims, and he has been championed as the father 0:47:28.800 --> 0:47:33.960 of gynecology. So if you send your children to medical school, 0:47:34.280 --> 0:47:39.839 you have to study the research and the science from 0:47:40.040 --> 0:47:42.600 Jay Marion Sims. I think I'm saying his name right. 0:47:44.560 --> 0:47:46.880 There's a statue of him in Central Park that just 0:47:46.960 --> 0:47:51.360 got removed in twenty eighteen because when they studied his history, 0:47:52.040 --> 0:47:56.280 they studied that he learned what he learned about gynecology 0:47:58.160 --> 0:48:03.840 from his research experimentation on black women. And what he 0:48:03.880 --> 0:48:08.920 would do is he would perform surgical procedures on black 0:48:09.000 --> 0:48:15.360 women with no anesthesia, with no anesthesia because the belief 0:48:15.840 --> 0:48:20.320 was that black women were more prone to be able 0:48:20.440 --> 0:48:24.080 to take the pain. Then he'd take what he learned 0:48:24.680 --> 0:48:28.400 and turn around and perform the same procedures on white 0:48:28.400 --> 0:48:30.759 women with anesthesia. 0:48:30.840 --> 0:48:31.120 Right. 0:48:33.120 --> 0:48:38.279 But he went down in history as a champion in 0:48:38.320 --> 0:48:42.839 the medical industry. And you wonder why black women and 0:48:42.920 --> 0:48:46.480 black men are a little reticent when it's time to 0:48:46.560 --> 0:48:50.040 go to the hospital, because it's just another system in 0:48:50.080 --> 0:48:53.759 America that was built on the pain and suffering of 0:48:53.800 --> 0:48:57.680 black people. It's the same with the police departments in America. 0:48:58.440 --> 0:49:04.760 So right now we have to redefine what it means 0:49:04.760 --> 0:49:07.960 to be pro black. You know, back in the sixties, 0:49:08.000 --> 0:49:10.520 if you wanted integration, they might have said, oh, you 0:49:10.560 --> 0:49:13.319 will pro black. Or in the seventies, if you were 0:49:13.320 --> 0:49:15.719 with the Black Power movement, they would say, hey, you know, 0:49:15.800 --> 0:49:20.240 you're pro black. Or if you pushed for black people 0:49:20.280 --> 0:49:23.160 to be able to go white universities, that was considered 0:49:23.480 --> 0:49:26.520 pro black. Or even if you thought that someday we 0:49:26.560 --> 0:49:29.480 should have a black president and we've had that, that 0:49:29.520 --> 0:49:33.160 may have been considered pro black. I heard this brother 0:49:33.239 --> 0:49:37.000 one time say that success is a moving target. He said, 0:49:37.040 --> 0:49:41.200 when you're two years old, success is getting through the 0:49:41.280 --> 0:49:44.480 night with our peing and to be right, you turn fifteen, 0:49:44.600 --> 0:49:48.680 success is having a girlfriend. You turn twenty two, successes 0:49:49.120 --> 0:49:52.880 you know, paying off your first call. Thirty years old, 0:49:53.200 --> 0:49:56.719 success is behind your first house. You know, fifty five 0:49:56.800 --> 0:50:00.680 years old, success is having your first grandchild. Then you 0:50:00.760 --> 0:50:03.760 get older, you get to be eighty ninety years old. 0:50:04.320 --> 0:50:08.520 Next thing, you know, success again is getting through the 0:50:08.640 --> 0:50:12.880 night without peeing in the bed. It's like a moving target. 0:50:13.040 --> 0:50:18.600 It comes full circle. Well, I believe that being pro 0:50:18.680 --> 0:50:22.319 black is a moving target, and what it means to 0:50:22.360 --> 0:50:26.200 be pro black today may be different from what it 0:50:26.360 --> 0:50:30.600 meant fifty years ago. See, we're not just charged with 0:50:30.800 --> 0:50:34.799 fighting for what our ancestors fought for. God damn it, 0:50:34.880 --> 0:50:38.319 we should be fighting for more. So if you're not 0:50:38.440 --> 0:50:43.359 talking independence, then you're not talking pro black. If you're 0:50:43.440 --> 0:50:48.399 not talking ownership, you're not speaking pro black. If you're 0:50:48.440 --> 0:50:52.600 not talking about us organizing ourselves to patrol our own 0:50:52.680 --> 0:50:56.880 communities and not dependent on the police to handle situations 0:50:57.360 --> 0:51:00.480 like the one that happened with what's my sister's name? Me, shit, 0:51:00.600 --> 0:51:04.959 the sister in Louisville. No, not Brianna, the other sister 0:51:05.040 --> 0:51:06.080 we were just talking about. 0:51:06.400 --> 0:51:08.480 But but oh. 0:51:10.760 --> 0:51:15.040 Sister Monica. Yeah, we could have handled that situation, you know, 0:51:15.320 --> 0:51:18.799 in a way to where it brought her justice. So 0:51:19.560 --> 0:51:24.000 independence is the new pro black, And if that's not 0:51:24.120 --> 0:51:27.000 what we're talking about, then we got to change the 0:51:27.280 --> 0:51:28.440 frequency of the conversation. 0:51:29.600 --> 0:51:33.479 I'll ride with independence being the pro new pro black, 0:51:33.520 --> 0:51:40.640 But I also ride with self love is just black, period. 0:51:40.760 --> 0:51:46.200 Like I think that I think that anybody, no matter 0:51:46.280 --> 0:51:50.000 if you're black, every single person that's black, should be 0:51:50.040 --> 0:51:52.000 pro black, because to be pro black it is to 0:51:52.040 --> 0:51:54.719 mean that you love yourself. Yes, sir, and I think 0:51:54.760 --> 0:51:57.320 that every single person that's white should be pro white. 0:51:57.400 --> 0:52:03.360 Every single person that's Mexican should be pro Mexican, Asian whatever. 0:52:03.440 --> 0:52:04.759 You know what I'm saying. I think that's just a 0:52:04.800 --> 0:52:06.960 person that love and said I think that you are 0:52:07.080 --> 0:52:09.000 that should That should be a GIMMI everybody. 0:52:09.160 --> 0:52:12.439 Yeah, I think it starts. I think it starts right there. 0:52:12.480 --> 0:52:16.759 I agree with you, it starts with self love. But 0:52:19.440 --> 0:52:22.560 before you can really have self love, you have to 0:52:22.680 --> 0:52:28.359 have self knowledge because it's difficult to love yourself if 0:52:28.400 --> 0:52:32.960 you don't know yourself. And knowing yourself means knowing your 0:52:33.080 --> 0:52:38.560 history as well, because those who don't know what was 0:52:39.239 --> 0:52:42.960 don't understand what is, and they will never be prepared 0:52:43.440 --> 0:52:49.080 for what will be. So I agree, brother, when you 0:52:49.160 --> 0:52:54.239 love yourself, then you respect yourself. When you respect yourself, 0:52:54.640 --> 0:52:58.160 then you are most likely to respect your brother. And 0:52:58.200 --> 0:53:01.279 when you respect your brother, you are less likely to 0:53:01.360 --> 0:53:04.400 want to kill your brother. Why because who is your brother? 0:53:04.520 --> 0:53:08.120 Your brother is your other self. So when you look 0:53:08.160 --> 0:53:12.919 in the mirror and see somebody that you hate, when 0:53:12.960 --> 0:53:16.719 you see someone who is a reflection of you who 0:53:16.800 --> 0:53:20.520 looks like you. It's easier for you to hate that 0:53:20.640 --> 0:53:23.759 brother if you hate yourself. And if it's easy for 0:53:23.800 --> 0:53:27.160 you to hate that brother, then you could very well 0:53:27.400 --> 0:53:31.360 hurt that brother or kill that brother. But I agree, 0:53:31.360 --> 0:53:36.080 bro at all starts with self love, and that's something 0:53:36.280 --> 0:53:40.919 that we still have to be taught in twenty twenty three. 0:53:41.600 --> 0:53:45.440 Because see, when you look at the definition of white supremacy, 0:53:45.680 --> 0:53:51.360 white supremacy represents the preservation of all things white over 0:53:51.480 --> 0:53:58.720 all things none white. Okay, you cannot have white supremacy 0:53:59.600 --> 0:54:04.680 with out black inferiority. You can't have one without the other. 0:54:04.840 --> 0:54:09.520 Black inferiority is the oxygen to white supremacy. That means, 0:54:10.320 --> 0:54:14.600 in order for me to believe that a Caucasian or 0:54:14.719 --> 0:54:20.000 European person is inherently better than I am, somebody has 0:54:20.320 --> 0:54:24.040 already had to trick me into believing that I was 0:54:24.160 --> 0:54:28.840 born less than And when we operate with this black 0:54:28.920 --> 0:54:36.000 inferiority complex, it creates a dynamic among us where it's 0:54:36.160 --> 0:54:39.640 very easy for us to disrespect each other. You know, 0:54:40.680 --> 0:54:45.520 like respect and my humble opinion is a universal currency. 0:54:46.800 --> 0:54:49.160 Where you get it where you give it. You should 0:54:49.200 --> 0:54:54.160 be able to receive it. But the most powerful form 0:54:54.200 --> 0:54:58.799 of respect that an individual can have is respect for himself. 0:55:00.000 --> 0:55:02.399 Once you have respect for yourself, then it goes back 0:55:02.440 --> 0:55:09.000 to respect, you know, for your own right. Recently, a 0:55:09.040 --> 0:55:15.280 nonprofit by the name of I should be ashamed of myself. 0:55:15.280 --> 0:55:19.200 I forget the name of this organization, but they gave me. 0:55:20.239 --> 0:55:22.759 I should have just left it at another profit. They 0:55:22.800 --> 0:55:28.400 gave me an award, a Community Leadership Award, and it 0:55:28.520 --> 0:55:34.160 was very beautiful. I appreciate it. And when I got 0:55:34.160 --> 0:55:38.399 the award, in my award speech, I said that I 0:55:38.440 --> 0:55:42.520 was always taught that the greatest award that you could 0:55:42.560 --> 0:55:46.800 be given is not an Academy award, a Grammy, or 0:55:46.840 --> 0:55:50.400 an Emmy, but the greatest honor is to be honored 0:55:50.440 --> 0:55:54.279 by your own That's the greatest honor. And when we 0:55:54.360 --> 0:55:59.960 see it from that perspective, then the respect of month 0:56:00.320 --> 0:56:04.479 US bills. But I think it goes back to self love. 0:56:04.560 --> 0:56:05.719 My brother, I agree. 0:56:07.719 --> 0:56:12.759 Did you see this guy, Mark Taylor, the coach, Yeah, yeah, 0:56:12.800 --> 0:56:14.960 this guy went to at Last. 0:56:14.840 --> 0:56:16.160 I saw it this morning, made. 0:56:16.000 --> 0:56:21.400 A video where he just totally just clown talking about 0:56:21.520 --> 0:56:28.080 black people everywhere he was. He was saying, Atlanta, what 0:56:28.239 --> 0:56:30.239 he used to Atlanta ain't what it used to be. 0:56:30.280 --> 0:56:32.359 They can have it, they can have it. You go 0:56:32.440 --> 0:56:35.680 to But he said, you're going the restaurants and the blacks. 0:56:35.280 --> 0:56:38.920 They're in the cards, in the cards, they're black. And 0:56:38.960 --> 0:56:42.040 then he threatened to hang this black lady who he 0:56:42.120 --> 0:56:45.600 thought that might try to cut him off. Did you 0:56:45.640 --> 0:56:46.239 see that part? 0:56:46.640 --> 0:56:49.040 I saw that part. I saw it. I saw it 0:56:49.080 --> 0:56:49.720 on your page. 0:56:49.960 --> 0:56:55.239 Yeah, this guy, Mark Taylor is an uncivilized mutt, and 0:56:56.120 --> 0:56:58.520 he needs to be brought to heel. I'm pretty sure 0:56:58.600 --> 0:57:03.360 that whatever contracts that he had pending or whatever deals 0:57:03.360 --> 0:57:06.640 he had going on right now, he's those are all coming. 0:57:06.880 --> 0:57:10.560 They're tumbling down, and people are distancing themselves from because 0:57:10.560 --> 0:57:13.959 he was cool with Nick Saban over at Alabama. That's 0:57:14.040 --> 0:57:16.320 you know. I seen him on pitches with him, and 0:57:16.360 --> 0:57:22.880 this guy was celebrating, you know, his achievements in coaching football. 0:57:23.560 --> 0:57:27.560 This guy coaches college players, He coaches high school players 0:57:27.560 --> 0:57:31.360 to become college players, and college players become pro players. 0:57:31.840 --> 0:57:35.800 And over eighty percent of his clientele are black. Eighty 0:57:35.800 --> 0:57:38.080 percent of his customers, over eighty percent of his customers 0:57:38.080 --> 0:57:42.000 are black, right, so it's like they don't mind making 0:57:42.080 --> 0:57:51.360 money off of us, but they will still have this 0:57:51.480 --> 0:57:55.360 type of energy like and you wonder where did where 0:57:55.400 --> 0:58:00.800 does this come from? Like like what did people do 0:58:01.040 --> 0:58:06.560 to you? Like, here's the thing about me. If I 0:58:06.600 --> 0:58:11.960 don't like you, we can't make no money together. You 0:58:12.000 --> 0:58:20.280 can't make no money off mind, name, likeness, image, right, brand, contacts, nothing, 0:58:21.000 --> 0:58:24.360 even if it means that I'm not going to make money. 0:58:25.240 --> 0:58:28.360 If I don't like you, we can't get no money together. 0:58:28.880 --> 0:58:31.400 But that goes to show you how unprincipled they are. 0:58:32.880 --> 0:58:34.640 They could be like I hate him, I hate him, 0:58:34.640 --> 0:58:36.400 I hate him, I hate him, but I deal with 0:58:36.480 --> 0:58:39.200 him and laugh and hug hug him and kicking he 0:58:39.280 --> 0:58:42.600 he ha ha, as long as I'm getting paid. But 0:58:43.280 --> 0:58:47.960 an uncivilized mut has no principles. An uncivilized mutt will 0:58:48.080 --> 0:58:51.680 kill his own mama for some money. He'll kill his 0:58:51.720 --> 0:58:54.760 own children for some money. He'll kill himself for some money. 0:58:56.280 --> 0:59:02.640 Mark Taylor is an uncivilized mut. Sir, where did they 0:59:02.640 --> 0:59:09.680 come from, Derek, Brother? They come from America. They come 0:59:09.680 --> 0:59:16.560 from America. And you have to remember, my brother, the 0:59:16.680 --> 0:59:22.360 chief reason, the chief agenda for bringing our forefathers to America. 0:59:22.680 --> 0:59:28.120 We didn't come here as slaves. We had to be enslaved. 0:59:28.440 --> 0:59:32.400 We came here as educated, civilized human beings who were 0:59:32.440 --> 0:59:38.680 builders of civilization, but they brought us here to be 0:59:38.840 --> 0:59:46.480 made merchandise and uncivilized MutS. Look to use your words 0:59:46.520 --> 0:59:52.360 like Mark Taylor, still have that mindset that I can 0:59:52.480 --> 0:59:57.000 stomach the presence of black people as long as their 0:59:57.080 --> 1:00:02.560 presence equals a profit for me. You gotta understand that 1:00:02.600 --> 1:00:04.760 the big house where the master live, that it was 1:00:04.840 --> 1:00:07.520 right there on the plantation with the rest of black folks. 1:00:07.720 --> 1:00:11.200 And as much as they hated us, they stomached our 1:00:11.400 --> 1:00:15.240 presence because it was our labor that. 1:00:15.240 --> 1:00:19.040 Made them rich. But what came to mind when I 1:00:19.080 --> 1:00:24.560 saw that video, brother, is how many of these other 1:00:24.680 --> 1:00:30.360 redneck coaches think just like him, but would never ever 1:00:30.520 --> 1:00:36.200 be caught expressing it on a video like that. Like 1:00:36.400 --> 1:00:41.240 when Donald Trump was president and everyone was in the 1:00:41.400 --> 1:00:45.760 uproar and in such you know, fury that you had 1:00:46.320 --> 1:00:51.000 someone of his ilk in the White House. You know, 1:00:51.080 --> 1:00:53.560 everybody was just upside down about it. What you think 1:00:53.600 --> 1:00:55.840 about Donald Trump? What you think about Donald Trump. Let 1:00:55.840 --> 1:00:59.040 me tell you something. I'm not worried about Donald Trump. 1:01:00.520 --> 1:01:05.920 I'm more concerned about the Donald Trump minded joker that's 1:01:06.400 --> 1:01:11.880 in the line behind me at the at Starbucks or wherever, 1:01:12.480 --> 1:01:14.800 or black on coffee shop. Right, well, if I'm at 1:01:14.800 --> 1:01:20.240 the grocery store, they're everywhere. Brother, Donald Trump didn't get 1:01:20.280 --> 1:01:22.920 to the White House by himself. Somebody had to vote 1:01:22.960 --> 1:01:25.280 for him. 1:01:24.840 --> 1:01:25.040 Vote. 1:01:25.320 --> 1:01:27.919 So there's eighty million of them running around here. I'm 1:01:27.920 --> 1:01:30.760 not worried about the one that's on TV. 1:01:30.680 --> 1:01:35.320 Who ain't gonna bust a great pushing nothing then save it. 1:01:35.480 --> 1:01:39.720 My concern is the ones that are teaching my children 1:01:39.960 --> 1:01:47.200 at these universities, coaching our sons on these football fields, 1:01:48.000 --> 1:01:52.280 making our food. Not that they make the food, but 1:01:52.920 --> 1:01:55.200 they don't actually prepare it. But when you go to 1:01:55.240 --> 1:01:59.240 their restaurants and they they they're serving you. Bro, you 1:01:59.240 --> 1:02:05.040 you just so when I saw the video of Mark Taylor, 1:02:06.000 --> 1:02:08.840 I just said to myself, man, I wonder how many 1:02:08.880 --> 1:02:13.680 more of these are running around? And this thought crossed 1:02:13.720 --> 1:02:17.440 my mind, brother, and I hope it doesn't happen. I 1:02:17.560 --> 1:02:21.120 just hope that some you know, paarent of a black 1:02:21.160 --> 1:02:26.000 athlete doesn't come out into the public and say, we 1:02:26.120 --> 1:02:31.800 been knowing mister Taylor all our life. He done nothing 1:02:31.880 --> 1:02:35.920 but good for my family. He gave my sons hot 1:02:35.960 --> 1:02:40.840 dogs every week. I just hope and pray that nobody 1:02:41.480 --> 1:02:46.440 is ignorant enough to come out and defend this blatant 1:02:47.040 --> 1:02:52.000 overt And it's not just racism, bro, this is pure 1:02:52.320 --> 1:02:58.560 hatred for black people that this man is expressing. But 1:02:58.720 --> 1:03:03.240 think of the hundreds of families that put their black 1:03:03.360 --> 1:03:09.919 boys in his hands. For years, this man been thinking. 1:03:09.680 --> 1:03:13.520 Like this man, with everything that black people have done 1:03:13.560 --> 1:03:17.600 for this country, everybody in this country that benefits should 1:03:17.600 --> 1:03:21.600 be kissing our ass. That's right. I said it. I 1:03:21.640 --> 1:03:25.320 said it. America ain't America. America don't have its richest 1:03:25.480 --> 1:03:31.720 America don't have this economic superpower position. With our black people, 1:03:32.040 --> 1:03:34.720 we put America in the position that is in to 1:03:34.800 --> 1:03:39.040 be a world superpower. Black people, y'all should be kissing 1:03:39.200 --> 1:03:42.680 our ass instead of hating on us, instead of waking 1:03:42.760 --> 1:03:44.919 up every day mad. But I know why they mad 1:03:45.240 --> 1:03:47.800 because they can't get the free labor no more. That's 1:03:47.840 --> 1:03:51.560 why they mad. But still okay, at some point the 1:03:51.640 --> 1:03:54.120 teacher must be at some point the student going to 1:03:54.160 --> 1:03:57.160 become the teacher.
