1 00:00:02,960 --> 00:00:07,920 Speaker 1: Media. So I have not in any way verified the 2 00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:14,480 Speaker 1: historicity or veracity of this particular incident, because the veracity 3 00:00:14,520 --> 00:00:16,440 Speaker 1: of it, whether it happened or not, is not the point. 4 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:23,759 Speaker 1: Kind of like Genesis chapter one. Yeah, the creation myths. 5 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:26,920 Speaker 1: Shout out all my Bible scholars. You know that there's 6 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:32,040 Speaker 1: three creation narratives Genesis one, two, and four. None of 7 00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:36,920 Speaker 1: them align. They're all kind of different. One would think 8 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,640 Speaker 1: that were the point for them to all be consistent 9 00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:46,400 Speaker 1: since the fifth century, when the Old Testament and New 10 00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,159 Speaker 1: Testament was cobbled into the modern Bible. That you and 11 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:52,440 Speaker 1: I understand you think since the year five hundred somebody 12 00:00:52,520 --> 00:00:57,520 Speaker 1: had not noticed that the three don't align. Is because 13 00:00:57,520 --> 00:01:02,080 Speaker 1: it's not the point whether Earth was made that way. 14 00:01:03,760 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: There's another lesson here. There's another point trying to be made, 15 00:01:06,520 --> 00:01:08,880 Speaker 1: which is what I'm about to say about the story 16 00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 1: of that little chunky little boy that was like I'm 17 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:13,400 Speaker 1: going to punch. 18 00:01:13,160 --> 00:01:16,279 Speaker 2: You, tap in with y'all. 19 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 1: So clip going around Instagram. I don't know if it 20 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,800 Speaker 1: actually happened. Like I said, I didn't do any more 21 00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:42,240 Speaker 1: homework than what the clip was because I'm gonna treat 22 00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:46,600 Speaker 1: this more as a fable, a myth, a cautionary tale, 23 00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:51,440 Speaker 1: you know, a lesson to be learned, an allegory, a parable, 24 00:01:51,680 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: whatever the case may be. I really don't care whether 25 00:01:54,760 --> 00:02:00,280 Speaker 1: it happened or not. There's another story here now. What 26 00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:05,000 Speaker 1: I understand the backstory to be was a high school somewhere, 27 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,400 Speaker 1: like I said, didn't do the homework, was doing some 28 00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 1: sort of anti ice protest at the school where all 29 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:16,720 Speaker 1: the students were participating in, and one little boy decided 30 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,079 Speaker 1: to put on his little metaglasses and talk about how 31 00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:22,399 Speaker 1: he supports ice. Now I am not in the right 32 00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 1: wing spheres, but I do see that there are many 33 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,520 Speaker 1: of people running around here creating content talking about how 34 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:30,680 Speaker 1: much they support ice. 35 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: It is what it is. 36 00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 1: I don't want to argue with you about that, but 37 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: I do understand high school boys, and I do understand 38 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: the joy that a lot of times boys get from 39 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: just being contrary and they just think it's funny, you know, like, 40 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: let's just do something else to kind of get people 41 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,519 Speaker 1: mad and just see their reactions. You know, it's funny, right, 42 00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:53,680 Speaker 1: So they get a kick out of people being like, dude, 43 00:02:53,720 --> 00:02:57,440 Speaker 1: you're so stupid, Like was imagine this guy?

It 56 00:03:31,320 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: looks like he'd be the type of kid that usually 57 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:34,760 Speaker 1: gets bullied, right. 58 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:36,880 Speaker 2: Uh. 59 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: Looks at this guy's he kept going our support Ice 60 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,080 Speaker 1: is support ice, hey guy, the support ice where everybody 61 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: else is participating in this protest.

And then it looks like he 64 00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: pulls his fist back to the border and then fires 65 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: on this dude. And then the thing gets like broken up, right, 66 00:03:59,560 --> 00:04:00,960 Speaker 1: and you see in the back and then the video 67 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: stops right now, my media literacy says, you know, something 68 00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 1: so perfect or the frame is perfect, like especially like 69 00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 1: a lot of these like videos where somebody is like 70 00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:12,880 Speaker 1: yelling at an ice agent and the ice agent is 71 00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: just standing there. A lot of times you can tell 72 00:04:14,360 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: about the frame because the frame is so perfect and shaky, 73 00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: like why how could you just stand there and be 74 00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:23,799 Speaker 1: called Like That's not how real footage looks. You understand 75 00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:29,400 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, right, And the situation being so perfect 76 00:04:29,839 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: something that you can rally behind like makes you say, 77 00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,320 Speaker 1: like it's possible that this is the truth. But like 78 00:04:34,360 --> 00:04:35,719 Speaker 1: I said, maybe it did happen. 79 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 2: I don't know. It's not the point. 80 00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:42,279 Speaker 1: The point I'm trying to talk about is the boy's response, 81 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:44,920 Speaker 1: which was, if you do. 82 00:04:44,920 --> 00:04:47,200 Speaker 2: This, you'll get in trouble. I went to high school 83 00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:47,839 Speaker 2: out of district. 84 00:04:48,640 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 1: This is a topic that has been in this podcast 85 00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: for a while about my upbringing and why I believe 86 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: I am the guy to navigate you through the concept 87 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:00,000 Speaker 1: of hood politics. 88 00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: I well, my parents were together. 89 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,880 Speaker 1: We moved to the Inland Empire to a relative suburb, right, 90 00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:11,240 Speaker 1: and then my parents split. Staying out there was a 91 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: tenable joint custody. I preferred to be back in the 92 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,719 Speaker 1: six to six where I'm from, but that had the 93 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:20,480 Speaker 1: better high school, the better resources. 94 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 2: So going to that high school was kind of just 95 00:05:23,480 --> 00:05:24,039 Speaker 2: not an option. 96 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:26,200 Speaker 1: And shout out, shout out to the to the friends 97 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,719 Speaker 1: that I like, the lifelong friends that I've made in 98 00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:34,080 Speaker 1: that environment, you know that I will never ever, ever 99 00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,200 Speaker 1: be ungrateful for. But that also gave me a chance 100 00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,440 Speaker 1: to interact with a considerable amount of white people that 101 00:05:44,520 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 1: I never would have interacted with had I not gone 102 00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:51,680 Speaker 1: to that school. Now, a few things I've learned was that, 103 00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,160 Speaker 1: you know, white people, like everybody else, they come from 104 00:05:55,200 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 1: all different styles and shapes and colors, and it's socioeconomic 105 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:05,120 Speaker 1: status and histories. And there was a one of the 106 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:08,520 Speaker 1: white boys out there actually taught me what anti fascist was. 107 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:10,840 Speaker 1: I never met a white boy that was all about that. 108 00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:12,000 Speaker 1: I didn't, you know. 109 00:06:12,240 --> 00:06:13,960 Speaker 2: Some of the most amazing things I've ever seen. 110 00:06:14,880 --> 00:06:20,120 Speaker 1: I played on a basketball team with three incredibly gifted 111 00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,640 Speaker 1: white boys, one of which went. 112 00:06:22,520 --> 00:06:23,640 Speaker 2: Pro like, so. 113 00:06:25,320 --> 00:06:29,480 Speaker 1: They come in all different size of styles and shapes. 114 00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:32,719 Speaker 1: But then there was those other white boys I feel 115 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: like I would have never met unless I went to 116 00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:38,680 Speaker 1: this school, you had the white boys that discovered reggae 117 00:06:38,680 --> 00:06:40,640 Speaker 1: and marijuana and all of a sudden, talking with this 118 00:06:40,720 --> 00:06:41,920 Speaker 1: fake Jamaican accent. 119 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:43,839 Speaker 2: I used to want to slap this shit anyway. 120 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: They used to make me so mad because when we 121 00:06:46,320 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: was in middle school, they was on some Nirvana type 122 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 1: racist beat. Because you remember around that time, if you 123 00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:57,240 Speaker 1: liked rock and roll, you did not like rap, like 124 00:06:57,279 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: you couldn't. You had to pick a you had to 125 00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,600 Speaker 1: pick a section. Then there's the white boys that used 126 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,880 Speaker 1: to say stuff that was funny, like rap music is 127 00:07:04,960 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 1: jungle jive, and you call them on it, like what 128 00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:09,760 Speaker 1: do you mean by that?

It's that little boy that would 131 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,520 Speaker 1: grin at you, that would say something that he know 132 00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,360 Speaker 1: out of pocket. 133 00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,760 Speaker 2: But he get to be like, what, I'm just you 134 00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 2: just it's just I'm just talking. It's just the thing, 135 00:07:25,440 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 2: like rather than being like I'm not really in the rap, 136 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 2: like would just be fine. 137 00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:31,000 Speaker 1: Like if you just said data like you've heard of 138 00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:34,000 Speaker 1: Sarah McLaughlin, I'll be like, I'm not really into it, 139 00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:34,960 Speaker 1: Like it's not a big deal. 140 00:07:34,960 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 2: I ain't got to. 141 00:07:37,160 --> 00:07:42,280 Speaker 1: Insinuate the same things that President Trump insinuated in his 142 00:07:42,400 --> 00:07:50,080 Speaker 1: little monkey videos of the former president and first Lady. 143 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:54,200 Speaker 1: They would say stuff like that. But if you jumped 144 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:59,200 Speaker 1: over the table and slapped it the white off they teeth. 145 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,560 Speaker 1: Now I'm in trouble. They were the ones that would 146 00:08:05,560 --> 00:08:11,360 Speaker 1: say that and then go hide behind the laws free speech. 147 00:08:12,720 --> 00:08:15,520 Speaker 1: We're just talking. You just you attacked me. You said 148 00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:18,080 Speaker 1: those words I didn't say. I didn't call you a jungle. 149 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: I didn't call you a monkey. Why do you why'd 150 00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:23,840 Speaker 1: you even take it like that? They would say these 151 00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:30,280 Speaker 1: things that I know, in their heart knew was inflammatory. 152 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:35,400 Speaker 1: But since I was one of very few black people, 153 00:08:36,040 --> 00:08:38,600 Speaker 1: you know, we made our community. We had a decent 154 00:08:38,640 --> 00:08:43,720 Speaker 1: amount of Latino. This is where I discovered my affinity 155 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:46,559 Speaker 1: to the Filipino culture. And then again my father ended 156 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: up marrying one right again, some of my best friends. 157 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,760 Speaker 1: It was a pretty diverse space. But they would do 158 00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:59,960 Speaker 1: these things and it's almost like the proverbial running behind, 159 00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:04,439 Speaker 1: you know, the babysitter or your mama's leg, and then's 160 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 1: sticking their tongue out because if I do something to them, 161 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:11,199 Speaker 1: I get in trouble. 162 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:38,920 Speaker 2: But the fable the lesson. 163 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,120 Speaker 1: The allegory I would like to point out in this 164 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:45,760 Speaker 1: scenario is you still. 165 00:09:45,520 --> 00:09:46,160 Speaker 2: Got a fire on. 166 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:52,120 Speaker 1: Because that's what they do.
