1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:00,920
Speaker 1: Sound bites.

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:08,480
Speaker 2: It's gonna sound crazy, but I'll explain it later. I

3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 2: don't give a fuck who the president is.

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:15,440
Speaker 3: Thanks facts and truth is im Tie.

00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:20,360
Speaker 4: I'm just Tye dead Ass.

6
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 2: It all started with real talk, unfiltered, honest and straight

7
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: from the heart. Since then, we've gone on to become

8
00:00:27,640 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 2: Webby award winning podcasters in New York Times bestselling authors.

9
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:33,639
Speaker 5: Dead Ass was more than a podcast for us. It

10
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:36,879
Speaker 5: was about our growth, a place where we could be vulnerable, be.

11
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:39,920
Speaker 4: Wrong, of course, but most apportly be us.

12
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,879
Speaker 5: But as we know, life keeps evolving and so do we,

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 5: and through it all, one thing has never changed.

14
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:47,080
Speaker 6: This is.

00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:15,360
Speaker 2: story about fatigue, and I'm not even gonna take you

24
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:17,440
Speaker 2: back to a specific time. I'm gonna take you back

25
00:01:17,440 --> 00:01:19,080
Speaker 2: to what I had to live through in my life.

26
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 4: Right.

27
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 2: I was born in nineteen eighty four. The president was

28
00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:27,400
Speaker 2: Ronald Reagan, so I was born into Reaganomics.

29
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 4: Right.

30
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,720
Speaker 1: I lived through both Bushes.

31
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:38,720
Speaker 2: Trump one term and now Trump another term. I honestly

32
00:01:38,760 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 2: feel like there's nothing that I haven't seen in these

33
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:46,119
Speaker 2: forty years. I lived through stopping frisk, mass incarceration, nine

34
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:52,600
Speaker 2: to eleven, the pandemic, like all the things, and every

35
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:57,400
Speaker 2: time something came up, I thought it was doomsday. The

36
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:59,320
Speaker 2: older I get now, I realize that they don't.

37
00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 4: Have the control we have it.

38
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: That's a fact.

39
00:02:00,960 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 4: So that's my story.

40
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,600
Speaker 5: Every other day, I'm like, geezus coming for forty years.

41
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 5: I'm like, be prepared. Let me get prepared. So you know,

42
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,519
Speaker 5: facts here, we are.

43
00:02:10,520 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 4: Here, we are karaoke.

44
00:02:15,200 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: Okay, you started in the sound bite.

45
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,080
Speaker 5: I was like, we've used this song before, but I

46
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 5: think it's just very appropriate.

47
00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 3: Truth is, some time.

48
00:02:27,919 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 1: Options are few.

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,440
Speaker 3: Right, they're actually fruit few.

50
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 4: It's bad.

51
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 5: I mean, I mean we have I mean at this point,

52
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:37,799
Speaker 5: what can we control. I feel like it's my biggest thing.

53
00:02:38,120 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 7: You know, you're tired because y'all just stop singing Carrier completely.

54
00:02:40,840 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: Well, I have.

55
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 2: Another part of karaoke, though, Man, I do have another

56
00:02:43,520 --> 00:02:45,640
Speaker 2: part of karaoke, and it's the song that we sang

57
00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 2: before my man, Tupac uh Huh's favorite song. Yeah, remember changes?

58
00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:59,400
Speaker 2: So I see no changes? Wake up in the morning

59
00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:01,840
Speaker 2: and I asked my self, is life work living? Should

60
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: I blast myself? I'm try to be im poorant even

61
00:03:04,160 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 2: worse some black. My stomach hurts, so I'm looking for

62
00:03:06,040 --> 00:03:09,120
Speaker 2: a purse to snatch. It is twenty twenty five, and

63
00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,840
Speaker 2: people still feel the same exact way. That song was

64
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,280
Speaker 2: written in the nineties by Tupac Shakor, and there are

65
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:19,000
Speaker 2: a lot of young people, not just men, men and

66
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 2: women who feel the same exact way. Because we're headed

67
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 2: towards another recession, so we're gonna take a quick break.

68
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 2: We're gonna bring some light and levity to this topic.

69
00:03:27,600 --> 00:03:33,280
Speaker 5: It don't it is gonna be what it's gonna be, yes,

70
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,600
Speaker 5: but at least we have some solidarity together.

71
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 3: We can visit and we can just talk about how

72
00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:38,800
Speaker 3: this all feels.

73
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 2: And here's the truth though, because I've been watching a

74
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 2: lot of television, black people ain't the only people trying

75
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:51,960
Speaker 2: to survive in this administration, all right, we are back,

76
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 2: and before we get into the meat horse of the show,

77
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,080
Speaker 2: we can go to my favorite segment of the show

78
00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 2: with my home girl trouble trips.

79
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: Yo yo, no, I'm interested what you got for me today?

80
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: What's happening?

81
00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 6: So?

82
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:11,080
Speaker 4: Uh these are mostly politically.

83
00:04:12,880 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 8: This a little bit because the United States is getting

84
00:04:15,480 --> 00:04:17,720
Speaker 8: a bad rap out of all over the world right now,

85
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:24,120
Speaker 8: and uh it wasn't bad enough. A French lawmaker recently

86
00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 8: said that he wants the US to give back the

87
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 8: Statue of Liberty, and I wanted to hear y'all's op

88
00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 8: for no op on. This is your New Yorkers. You

89
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,400
Speaker 8: grew up with the girl, you know, the girl.

90
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 3: That's the big sense, that's big Sense.

91
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,680
Speaker 5: I definitely went up to her crown, you know, one

92
00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:44,160
Speaker 5: day with Bethlehem.

93
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,480
Speaker 4: That was the second school trip.

94
00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:47,520
Speaker 1: Shout out now trade.

95
00:04:47,680 --> 00:04:51,040
Speaker 8: School, yes, yes, yes, So before you answer this, though,

96
00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,320
Speaker 8: I wanted to share with you some history I learned

97
00:04:53,360 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 8: about the Statue of Liberty recently.

98
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 4: Okay, so the Statue of Liberty.

99
00:04:56,920 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 8: Is supposed to come in ain't the end of slavery?

100
00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 8: And because of that, the Lady Liberty is supposed to

101
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:12,640
Speaker 8: be a black woman who is broken free of her chains. However, Americans,

102
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,560
Speaker 8: whoever was in charge at that point, they did not

103
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:18,480
Speaker 8: want to depict a slave in the Statue of Liberty.

104
00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:21,120
Speaker 8: So the French dude who made it, he delivered the

105
00:05:21,120 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 8: statue without the chains. But if you go to the

106
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 8: Statue of Liberty, you can actually see the broken chains

107
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 8: at her feet. They're still there, but they're not visible

108
00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 8: from the sky yet. So having said that, what is

109
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,279
Speaker 8: your op or no op on the Statue of Liberty

110
00:05:39,440 --> 00:05:40,440
Speaker 8: being given back to friends?

111
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:43,720
Speaker 5: Her features aren't given system at all because they didn't

112
00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 5: want to where's the full lips and the nose like

113
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 5: I want to see us? So maybe they should like

114
00:05:51,160 --> 00:05:53,160
Speaker 5: send her back and fix her and bring her back.

115
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 2: Well, if we're being honest, I'm just wondering if France

116
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,640
Speaker 2: is going to if they want stuff back, or they're

117
00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:01,159
Speaker 2: going to give Haiti back reparation as they did to

118
00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:01,880
Speaker 2: the Asian people.

119
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: That's just really if we're going to stalk.

120
00:06:03,520 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 2: To hold people accountable, that really hold people accountable, because

121
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 2: France has been exploiting Haiti since the Haitian Revolution, the

122
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 2: actual first slave revolution against the French people.

123
00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,600
Speaker 4: So if we're gonna, you know, talk about reality France.

124
00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:22,480
Speaker 2: I appreciate you saying that, you know, the United States

125
00:06:22,480 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 2: needs to do better, but United States is not the

126
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:26,839
Speaker 2: only country that needs to do better.

127
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,440
Speaker 4: And that's that's my opinion on that.

128
00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 5: So Haiti is one of a couple of Caribbean islands

129
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 5: that I know I've been the rule.

130
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: People talk about it, talk about it, talk about it.

131
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 4: Talk about it.

132
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:46,560
Speaker 5: We're going to be pulling straws here, you know what

133
00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 5: I'm saying. Let's go all the way with it.

134
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:50,960
Speaker 4: That's my opinion. I agree with that.

135
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 8: I think the French France is probably one of the

136
00:06:54,120 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 8: worst perpetrators of colonialism.

137
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,640
Speaker 4: So yeah, I feel like m maybe deal with that.

138
00:07:01,839 --> 00:07:02,840
Speaker 4: I wonder if people know that.

139
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:08,400
Speaker 2: And after the slaves freed themselves in Haiti, the French

140
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 2: government told them, you know what, will give you your freedom,

141
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,920
Speaker 2: but you're gonna have to pay us for all of

142
00:07:13,960 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 2: the freed slaves y'all had. So the Haitian government has

143
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:21,120
Speaker 2: been paying France for freeing the slave, which is the

144
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,160
Speaker 2: most asinine thing. But let's be honest, that happened here

145
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:27,239
Speaker 2: in America. T Yeah, we never got reparations as a people,

146
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,520
Speaker 2: but you know who did get reparations sharecroppers, they were

147
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:33,920
Speaker 2: given the equivalent of during that time, it was twenty

148
00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 2: five hundred dollars per slave that they let free right

149
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:40,480
Speaker 2: and the slaves were given nothing, but the sharecroppers were

150
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:45,520
Speaker 2: given money by the American government for releasing people as property.

151
00:07:45,640 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 2: So I just want to be clear as to why

152
00:07:47,200 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 2: we believe what we believe.

153
00:07:48,480 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 4: And these are not opinions, these are facts. You can

154
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:51,640
Speaker 4: look it up.

155
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 2: Imagine what twenty five hundred per person would have done

156
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:57,240
Speaker 2: for the black community in that time if you gave

157
00:07:57,440 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 2: every slave, not just forty eight was in a mule,

158
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 2: which was promised before it was taken away after the

159
00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,600
Speaker 2: assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Or give them twenty five hundred

160
00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: dollars in that time in eighteen sixty three, imagine what

161
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 2: twenty five hundred dollars.

162
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:11,040
Speaker 4: Would have done.

163
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,240
Speaker 5: Twelve hundred dollars people got during COVID Was it the

164
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 5: similar checks.

165
00:08:14,120 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 8: Yeah, everybody was fighting over because the modern mortgage system

166
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 8: is based off of slavery, So that's where it comes from.

167
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:27,840
Speaker 8: Slaves Enslaved people were kind of assigned an amount that

168
00:08:27,840 --> 00:08:31,120
Speaker 8: they were worth, and if you were a slave owner,

169
00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:35,440
Speaker 8: you could basically like take out a second mortgage on

170
00:08:35,679 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 8: a person. But if you think about it today, if

171
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:42,240
Speaker 8: you default on your mortgage yep, and the bank takes

172
00:08:42,280 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 8: your house, you don't get the money that you paid back.

173
00:08:45,800 --> 00:08:48,400
Speaker 4: You don't get anything. Batter the bank gets it.

174
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:53,040
Speaker 8: So if as an enslaved person you were freed, the

175
00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,679
Speaker 8: slave owner no longer owns you, You own yourself. You should

176
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 8: get here to get the work. Hello, it seemed like

177
00:08:58,120 --> 00:08:58,680
Speaker 8: common sense.

178
00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:00,319
Speaker 3: Don't yeah happen?

179
00:09:01,040 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 1: Like if they could friends come.

180
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:03,559
Speaker 2: Over, They're gonna have to deal with a bunch of

181
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 2: niggas that like going to the statual liberty.

182
00:09:05,559 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: But I have to take it.

183
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:08,480
Speaker 4: With us.

184
00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 8: It's getting really well. It's been concerning for black people.

185
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 8: I don't know that this moment in time is worse.

186
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 8: But uh, they did just rip up the Black Lives

187
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,240
Speaker 8: Matter Street muror in d C.

188
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 7: On that it was time. It was dirty. You need

189
00:09:24,400 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 7: to if they're going to redo it, redo it. If

190
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 7: you're gonna get rid of it, get rid of it.

191
00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:28,160
Speaker 7: But it's time.

192
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,440
Speaker 2: They're not going to redo it though, they're just pulling

193
00:09:32,480 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 2: it up for the sake of pulling it was time,

194
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 2: you think, so.

195
00:09:35,840 --> 00:09:40,480
Speaker 6: My my opinion is it was it was it was

196
00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:44,839
Speaker 6: show place. I didn't mean anything taking up something that

197
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 6: benefit us, like it didn't benefits monetarily and he positions

198
00:09:49,120 --> 00:09:51,080
Speaker 6: a power or anything that it was. It was just

199
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:53,439
Speaker 6: a show. You want to take your show back, take your.

200
00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:58,920
Speaker 7: Show performance performance, I feel like more than anything else,

201
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,440
Speaker 7: and put a target on was back.

202
00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 4: So that is true.

203
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:06,160
Speaker 7: It did put a target with a people correct unattentionally.

204
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,320
Speaker 6: Unattentionally, I think I think there were two things.

205
00:10:09,360 --> 00:10:11,520
Speaker 2: There was the movement and then there was the capitalist

206
00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 2: side of it, you know what I'm saying. And I

207
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 2: think a lot of people ran with the capitalist size

208
00:10:16,160 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 2: of it made it seem like BLM was a bad.

209
00:10:18,280 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 4: Thing, and realistically it wasn't.

210
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 2: And the fact that you have to put Black Lives

211
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,800
Speaker 2: Matter on the street for people to understand that it's problematic.

212
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:27,680
Speaker 5: We'll think about writing the book, like when you wrote

213
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 5: the book that was essentially our like a history lesson

214
00:10:31,559 --> 00:10:33,520
Speaker 5: that we wrote for the boys, right, we wrote for

215
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 5: the boys that listens to the time machine. Yeah, the

216
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:38,959
Speaker 5: question the tagline is why do we have to say

217
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 5: Black Lives matter? And that was because that was a

218
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,800
Speaker 5: legitimate question that Jackson asked us at the time. So

219
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,400
Speaker 5: it wasn't us trying to like capitalize on Black Lives

220
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,840
Speaker 5: Matter's movement. It was just a genuine question that at

221
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 5: the time what nine year old asked us, and it

222
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,360
Speaker 5: was like, all right, well, let's try to explain to

223
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:57,360
Speaker 5: you some of the history, the actual real black history

224
00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:00,000
Speaker 5: around why we have to say it because people don't

225
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:00,679
Speaker 5: recognize it.

226
00:11:01,400 --> 00:11:03,480
Speaker 4: I agree with Josh Man, it was performative.

227
00:11:03,880 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 2: I think that America does a good job of doing

228
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:08,960
Speaker 2: performative based things to make us feel comfortable while on

229
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 2: the back end rolling back.

230
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,440
Speaker 4: The things that are really supposed to help us.

231
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,240
Speaker 2: For example, they made this big deal about pulling down

232
00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:20,640
Speaker 2: Confederate statues and shit while rolling back DEI like programs.

233
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,520
Speaker 2: So it's like, oh, let's perform this, or they can

234
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:23,920
Speaker 2: cheer while we do this.

235
00:11:25,280 --> 00:11:26,040
Speaker 1: If they get rid of.

236
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 2: The BLM thing, what I think is going to do

237
00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:31,720
Speaker 2: is let black people realize, like, yo, they not fucking

238
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: with us like that, because I think a lot of

239
00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: us went to sleep. We fell asleep. If you notice,

240
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:40,160
Speaker 2: during all of the administrations I talked about Reagan administration,

241
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,120
Speaker 2: Bush administration, Trump administration, black people got stronger because the

242
00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:48,960
Speaker 2: racism went from covert to overt and when it goes

243
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:52,360
Speaker 2: from covert to overt, that's when we mobilize. But when

244
00:11:52,360 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 2: we have other figures in there who really don't fuck

245
00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 2: with us neither, Like if we're being honest, bro, a

246
00:11:57,480 --> 00:11:59,439
Speaker 2: lot of people don't notice, but Joe Biden never fucked

247
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 2: with us like that.

248
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:00,320
Speaker 4: Man.

249
00:12:00,400 --> 00:12:02,960
Speaker 2: Joe Biden wrote the ninety four crime bill he called

250
00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:06,720
Speaker 2: the super Predators. Right, he's a Democrat. The Democratic Party

251
00:12:06,800 --> 00:12:08,760
Speaker 2: is no longer what we thought it was going to be,

252
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:10,400
Speaker 2: which was going to be the party of black people.

253
00:12:10,640 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 2: The Democratic Party just became a shit show, you know

254
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 2: what I'm saying, And we lost the election because we

255
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:19,520
Speaker 2: didn't really have a viable If we're being.

256
00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:22,240
Speaker 6: Honest, bigger problems with black people's.

257
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 2: And that's why the Democratic Party has a huge problem.

258
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:26,320
Speaker 2: And it's not Black people, which means they're not going

259
00:12:26,360 --> 00:12:29,000
Speaker 2: to focus on us, yes, which means we have to

260
00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:32,480
Speaker 2: focus on us. And the Black Lives Matter being removed

261
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:34,280
Speaker 2: is going to make us focus. That's what I think.

262
00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:37,439
Speaker 1: The more racist they get, the more focus we get.

263
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:39,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, that's I mean, we've been pulling back our dollars

264
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,160
Speaker 5: in certain areas and we're seeing the benefits facts.

265
00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,839
Speaker 7: We need more impactful protests instead of just words on

266
00:12:44,880 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 7: the street or in the back of the end zone,

267
00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:47,760
Speaker 7: because I don't think that really helps.

268
00:12:48,800 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 2: So we don't never we don't got to say stuff

269
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:53,560
Speaker 2: all the time. Like remember the underground rail road was

270
00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:56,920
Speaker 2: the underground wrail world for a reason. If Harriet tell

271
00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:58,440
Speaker 2: Me would have got up there, it's journal truth and

272
00:12:58,440 --> 00:13:00,480
Speaker 2: we've been like, nah, Black Lives matter, we all leaving

273
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 2: at this time, it would have never happened. We have

274
00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,559
Speaker 2: to be justice covert. And when I mean covert, we

275
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 2: don't have to be covert racist against them. We can

276
00:13:08,920 --> 00:13:11,720
Speaker 2: be covert in our development for our own people. And

277
00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:14,680
Speaker 2: it don't start with a statue or with words. So

278
00:13:14,720 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 2: I'm like, let's do let's build together, and we can

279
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:19,120
Speaker 2: build without having to push other people down.

280
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 4: We just built ourselves.

281
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:20,960
Speaker 1: That's how I feel about it.

282
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 4: So they get rid of it, they get rid of it.

283
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 4: I don't care.

284
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,040
Speaker 8: Yeah, I think you just maybe realize something though, because

285
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 8: during Joe Biden's presidency, I guess the last couple of years,

286
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 8: there was a big movement for Confederate symbols to be

287
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 8: taken down all over the United States, and I feel

288
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:41,599
Speaker 8: like that's where this is coming from it's like backlash

289
00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:46,040
Speaker 8: to what white people consider Southern white people racists, white

290
00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 8: people consider their culture and their right and now they're

291
00:13:49,200 --> 00:13:51,400
Speaker 8: trying to get back and the Black Lives Matter movement

292
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:54,440
Speaker 8: I feel like did really create a lot of the

293
00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:57,719
Speaker 8: backlash that we're seeing right now from especially conservative white

294
00:13:57,760 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 8: people who just don't believe that racism is a thing

295
00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 8: in America or that they have the right to or

296
00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:07,559
Speaker 8: that they really feel a sense of supremacy over anybody

297
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 8: that's not a white man.

298
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:11,080
Speaker 1: And we can thank Mildred Rutherfood for that.

299
00:14:11,559 --> 00:14:20,080
Speaker 2: All of these books, over all of these years.

300
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:19,480
Speaker 4: Still exists.

301
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:22,640
Speaker 2: Yes, the u DC, the United Daughters of the Confederacy

302
00:14:22,720 --> 00:14:23,400
Speaker 2: still exists.

303
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 8: Wow.

304
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:26,680
Speaker 2: And it's because of that education on mis education is

305
00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,120
Speaker 2: why these emboldened white nationalists feel they can do the

306
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:30,600
Speaker 2: things that.

307
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,880
Speaker 5: They do about y'all ever met a baby named Mildred?

308
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:38,640
Speaker 5: You only meet a Mildred when she owed me think.

309
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 4: Mildred does sound like something that Jamaican baby would be.

310
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 5: Next Mildred, my Mildred, Doris Thelma, but.

311
00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: Barbara Thelma?

312
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 7: Yeah, ye sorry, Ed is one of them.

313
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 3: Absolutely.

314
00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,520
Speaker 5: I've never seen a young and those are names that

315
00:15:02,600 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 5: haven't come back like some names come back that.

316
00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:06,360
Speaker 3: I haven't seen a baby named Doris.

317
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:08,840

Speaker 1: That's not going anywhere.

334
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:42,560
Speaker 3: Not common.

335
00:15:42,680 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 5: I feel like there's been an influx of Cairo since

336
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 5: our Cairo. I feel like I see Cairo everywhere now

337

338
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:50,280
Speaker 5: influx of Cairo's.

339
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:51,840
Speaker 2: You know what, You're not going to see a lot

340
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,680
Speaker 2: of what, but we so we grew up seeing shanik

341
00:15:54,920 --> 00:15:57,760
Speaker 2: Was and Keisha's when we was growing up, there was

342
00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: a lot of Keisha's Aisha Letitia.

343
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,400
Speaker 6: Then I'm probably mad at that I actually like those

344
00:16:02,480 --> 00:16:04,600
Speaker 6: names because you grew up with it. No, I like

345
00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:07,680
Speaker 6: those names for the symbolism. It is like we don't

346
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:12,240
Speaker 6: have our own names, like that year, you gotta old, Lou,

347
00:16:12,320 --> 00:16:18,280
Speaker 6: you gotta got, So that's on their side for Black Americans,

348
00:16:18,400 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 6: we like. Although some of those names came off as

349
00:16:24,640 --> 00:16:27,040
Speaker 6: like ghetto names like Boom, Cueisha and all that, it

350
00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:29,760
Speaker 6: was like the ghetto names, the reality is those were

351
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:35,160
Speaker 6: the American, the Black American culture names. For that is

352
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:37,600
Speaker 6: a fact I enjoyed having our own.

353
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 8: I went to elementary school with a kid named e

354
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,400
Speaker 8: Quavers and he was a bully and he was kind

355
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,560
Speaker 8: of chubby, so I used to call him Equavers because

356
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 8: that sound fat.

357
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:50,600
Speaker 7: You was all.

358
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:54,480
Speaker 4: The bully.

359
00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: Story around.

360
00:16:57,600 --> 00:16:59,080
Speaker 2: I used to make fun of him because he was

361
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 2: a minute famous, was me bro.

362
00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,040
Speaker 3: He deserved it, I'm sure, because he had that name

363
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:20,320
Speaker 3: and people like sounds like something of sorry. I took

364
00:17:20,359 --> 00:17:21,479
Speaker 3: us all the way on the top of ya.

365
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:25,439
Speaker 2: It's just fine thinking about politics, thinking about politics and

366
00:17:25,440 --> 00:17:27,520
Speaker 2: being black in America. I forgot who said it, But

367
00:17:28,160 --> 00:17:31,240
Speaker 2: being black and conscious in America is being in a

368
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:32,639
Speaker 2: constant state of anger.

369
00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: I forgot who said it.

370
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:41,040
Speaker 4: I think it was that was No, it was James Baldwin.

371
00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 4: James Baldwins. This series his centennial.

372
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:47,200
Speaker 8: We have a we share a birthday, August second, it

373
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:48,480
Speaker 8: is his one hundredth birthday.

374
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,840
Speaker 4: So if you don't know who James Baldwin is, go find.

375
00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 2: Out that that statement means so much though, because even

376
00:17:56,280 --> 00:18:00,359
Speaker 2: as I continue to ascend in life, what we all

377
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,320
Speaker 2: see that you you find yourself in spaces that are

378
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 2: less black.

379
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:07,479
Speaker 4: And they always ask that question. Wait, wait, I'm so angry.

380
00:18:09,400 --> 00:18:10,600
Speaker 1: I fucking hate that question.

381
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 5: Bro.

382
00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,680
Speaker 2: It's like the minute we get cool and we sit

383
00:18:13,720 --> 00:18:15,440
Speaker 2: down and they start to realize that the valor is

384
00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: relaxing a little bit. I always get that question, you know,

385
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,239
Speaker 2: that's a question that sound that's a question you know,

386
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 2: like I got. I got it trying to black friends

387
00:18:23,600 --> 00:18:29,560
Speaker 2: and I just want to know you know what, and

388
00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:32,800
Speaker 2: I'll be like, oh.

389
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:34,919
Speaker 4: Because y'all know me, y'all know me.

390
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:37,399
Speaker 3: I said, that leans forward.

391
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:39,640
Speaker 1: Well, this is how it always goes.

392
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,840
Speaker 4: I said, well, where do you want me to start?

393
00:18:43,119 --> 00:18:44,879
Speaker 2: And most of the time, at the end of the conversation,

394
00:18:45,359 --> 00:18:49,199
Speaker 2: I realized how so many white people do not know

395
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,560
Speaker 2: American history like at all.

396
00:18:52,280 --> 00:18:54,560
Speaker 4: And then when I explain to them American history.

397
00:18:55,080 --> 00:19:00,520
Speaker 2: That's when they're just like, oh, white people don't know

398
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,359
Speaker 2: about redlining, black holes, the Vagrancy Act.

399
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,400
Speaker 4: They don't know about this stuff because it's not taught and.

400
00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 3: It's never affected them, you know what I'm saying.

401
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,879
Speaker 2: Like they when I start bringing those things and they

402
00:19:10,920 --> 00:19:14,360
Speaker 2: say this that really really that was really going on,

403
00:19:15,160 --> 00:19:19,000
Speaker 2: was really goal, It's yeah, still we're still voter suppression

404
00:19:19,119 --> 00:19:24,919
Speaker 2: still goes on today like today, and they're just like, oh, yes,

405
00:19:24,960 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 2: it's not fair.

406
00:19:26,320 --> 00:19:27,520
Speaker 1: I'm like, no, ship.

407
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:31,359
Speaker 8: There's a really great uh the last season of Curb

408
00:19:31,400 --> 00:19:37,080
Speaker 8: Your Enthusiasm, there's a running storyline where Larry David is

409
00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:40,359
Speaker 8: in Atlanta and he sees somebody he knows voting, and

410
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,280
Speaker 8: so he gives her a bottle of water. Apparently it

411
00:19:43,400 --> 00:19:47,440
Speaker 8: is illegal to have water if you're waiting in line

412
00:19:47,440 --> 00:19:52,560
Speaker 8: to vote in Georgia. Yes, yes, And so he has

413
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 8: to go through this whole court process because he gets

414
00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 8: arrested and he's getting.

415
00:19:56,800 --> 00:20:01,160
Speaker 4: Charged with a crime. When did that come on this year?

416
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:02,000
Speaker 4: Twenty twenty four?

417
00:20:02,520 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 2: When the episode came out last year, always said, because

418
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,919
Speaker 2: you know that happened here in Georgia during the election,

419
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:11,879
Speaker 2: people were handing out food and water to people who

420
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:13,439
Speaker 2: were online and getting in trouble.

421
00:20:13,560 --> 00:20:16,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, I swear it just seemed.

422
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:19,439
Speaker 5: They want to make it in an uncomfortable situation. Absolutely,

423
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 5: we don't want to discourage. Yeah, of course, it's funny

424
00:20:24,200 --> 00:20:27,719
Speaker 5: when you mentioned, uh, you know, when your white counterparts,

425
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:28,879
Speaker 5: you know, asked these questions.

426
00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,800
Speaker 3: But Sterling K. Brown. I was just watching a clip

427
00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 3: from his podcast with his wife. I think it's called.

428
00:20:34,359 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 5: We Yeah, we don't always agree, and he was talking

429
00:20:39,280 --> 00:20:42,160
Speaker 5: about his experience on set where he had a white

430
00:20:42,200 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 5: counterpart that must have been reacting reacting, was angry about something,

431
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,120
Speaker 5: and he said he kind of, you know, peeked out,

432
00:20:49,160 --> 00:20:51,320
Speaker 5: and we're just like hmmm, and he was just like, man,

433
00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 5: if I.

434
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:55,159
Speaker 2: Remember what he said, they coded it as they coded

435
00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:56,160
Speaker 2: as passionate.

436
00:20:56,320 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, he was passionate.

437
00:20:58,280 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 4: In his anger, right exactly.

438
00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 5: But then of course he said, if I were to

439
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:06,320
Speaker 5: perform in the same way and be as passionate, it

440
00:21:06,359 --> 00:21:08,760
Speaker 5: would not be received the same way. And it's just

441
00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 5: that it doesn't matter where or what avenue, what job,

442
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,960
Speaker 5: what realm you're in, it's always going to be seen

443
00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:18,280
Speaker 5: as the disgruntled black person.

444
00:21:18,440 --> 00:21:20,679
Speaker 4: Let me ask you a question, right, well, do you

445
00:21:20,720 --> 00:21:24,640
Speaker 4: have one more for us? Or yeah, will go back.

446
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:26,120
Speaker 4: Even though we're kind of already on the topic.

447
00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 8: I have been watching social media a lot around this

448
00:21:31,240 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 8: topic because I am one to say black people should

449
00:21:34,440 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 8: be politically involved and politically aware. We cannot afford to

450
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:39,879
Speaker 8: be a political because we are affected the most. I

451
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:44,040
Speaker 8: did change, but I did see a post on threads

452
00:21:44,200 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 8: that was like them, why why y'all not marching, and

453
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 8: it's aid us we are. And it's a video of

454
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 8: a bunch of black people doing the line dance, wear

455
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 8: them fans.

456
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 4: So I've just learned it and new line dances out.

457
00:22:01,680 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I know that some people are behind learning

458
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,719
Speaker 8: your Tamia dance and you need to get on your

Speaker 3: Get on the to me a dance, because they've moved on.

461
00:22:10,200 --> 00:22:12,879
Speaker 4: Yes, they've moved on left beyond.

462
00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:14,720
Speaker 5: Because you have to get bank that one, the same

463
00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:16,600
Speaker 5: way you have the electric slide, the Cha cha slide,

464
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,320

465
00:22:19,359 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 5: bank to me and now to learn the next two.

466
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 8: And they're playing them in succession.

467
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:28,639
Speaker 5: In succession now, So it's a marathon of line dancing

468
00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,520

00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 8: ground period. Country's I would like to know what do

473
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,960
Speaker 8: you think about that? Like, uh, black people putting their

474
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:49,520
Speaker 8: joy or using their joy as resistance? A lot of

475
00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,680
Speaker 8: black people, I think are saying after the My point

476
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:53,879
Speaker 8: was after during the election.

477
00:22:53,960 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 4: After the election, black people felt kind of betrayed.

478
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,960
Speaker 8: A black woman ran for president and they literally elect

479
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,320
Speaker 8: did somebody a fascist?

480
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 4: Let me ask somebody who wants to be a dictator?

481
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:06,600
Speaker 4: Did she really run for president? Or was she?

482
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: Because to me, I think that this was fucked up

483
00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,199
Speaker 2: what they did to her, to be honest, because if

484
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:13,000
Speaker 2: we if she was really going to be allowed to

485
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 2: run for president, they would have given her the nod

486
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 2: before at the Democratic Convention, so she would have had

487
00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:19,800
Speaker 2: the runway to.

488
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:22,240
Speaker 1: And do things.

489
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:24,720
Speaker 4: They came in the last minute because the white man

490
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 4: that they thought.

491
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 2: Was going to be able to last for the last

492
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:30,160
Speaker 2: four years started to slowly lose his mind.

493
00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,439
Speaker 8: And now the narrative that they're putting out there is

494
00:23:33,480 --> 00:23:37,840
Speaker 8: that he was pushed out of running that they forced

495
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,960
Speaker 8: him out of running for president so that she could run,

496
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:43,159
Speaker 8: and not that they forced her into running.

497
00:23:43,400 --> 00:23:46,560
Speaker 4: Whose they they, whatever the powers that be, And let's

498
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,159
Speaker 4: let's let's really think about this for us.

499
00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:54,560
Speaker 2: At what moment in a world history did anyone ever.

500
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:55,760
Speaker 4: Say, you know what, we're gonna get rid of this

501
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,639
Speaker 4: white man and bring this black woman in.

502
00:23:57,720 --> 00:24:00,760
Speaker 3: That's right, Come on, this is what black people.

503
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,399
Speaker 2: Choosing joy That don't even sound like something I'm going

504
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,680
Speaker 2: to debate about, not going to debate about why.

505
00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:07,679
Speaker 1: I'm not like, there's no way.

506
00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 5: But my opinion is yes, if that's where you find

507
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 5: your joy. If your joy is not debating over the

508
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,639
Speaker 5: water ruler about nonsense and politics, because you want to

509
00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,480
Speaker 5: preserve your joy, Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow brothers and sisters,

510
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:24,359
Speaker 5: don't do that shit. Find your joy within your community

511
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,560
Speaker 5: of people, your circle of friends, your line dances.

512
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 3: If it's cowboy Carter tour, I'll see you there.

513
00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,440
Speaker 4: If it means oh we got a cowboy, I knew

514
00:24:33,480 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 4: it was going to come back to this. Find your joy,

515
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 4: I knew it.

516
00:24:36,280 --> 00:24:41,000
Speaker 3: I don't find your joy where it exists and your pockets.

517
00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:42,399
Speaker 3: Find your tribe of people.

518
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:43,240
Speaker 4: With that.

519
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:46,080
Speaker 1: Nation build within your people.

520
00:24:46,119 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 4: Agree with that.

521
00:24:46,840 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's get back to like gathering and having functions

522
00:24:50,960 --> 00:24:53,520
Speaker 3: and caring for each other.

523
00:24:53,640 --> 00:24:56,119
Speaker 2: Let me ask you a question, guys, because I'd be

524
00:24:56,160 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 2: struggling with stuff. I do not blame current white Americans

525
00:25:03,760 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 2: for where we are in America.

526
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 4: I don't.

527
00:25:07,480 --> 00:25:10,760
Speaker 2: The reason why is because I feel like the racism

528
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,080
Speaker 2: we experience now, although there are some overt racists who

529
00:25:14,119 --> 00:25:16,439
Speaker 2: still call you a nigga, right, but those people are

530
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 2: still few and far in between. Most of the racism

531
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 2: we see as millennials, and yeah, we're all millennials, is

532
00:25:23,600 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 2: the systemic racism that people don't understand. And that's where

533
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:29,840
Speaker 2: I think we have to do a better job, as

534
00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:32,959
Speaker 2: people love color, all of us being black, of explaining

535
00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 2: that to some of our white counterparts, rather than just saying, oh,

536
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,639
Speaker 2: everybody racist. I honestly don't feel that everybody is racist.

537
00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 2: I do feel that people are miss informed and uneducated,

538
00:25:45,560 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 2: and rather than argue with them about their racism, just explain.

539
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:55,600
Speaker 4: To them history. Miseducated, yes, and more miseducated than others.

540
00:25:56,200 --> 00:26:00,480
Speaker 2: Because I just saw a meme and it wasn't really

541
00:26:00,520 --> 00:26:04,400
Speaker 2: a meme, it was more facts Oklahoma. The state of Oklahoma, right,

542
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:11,640
Speaker 2: red state, overwhelmingly red state. When it comes to education, literacy, wealth,

543
00:26:11,920 --> 00:26:16,040
Speaker 2: they're all bottom three in America, right, And there's a

544
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 2: reason why.

545
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 4: If you keep.

546
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 2: People mis educated and uneducated, it's easily to do what control.

547
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,320
Speaker 2: But then you go to a place like New Hampshire, right,

548
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,840
Speaker 2: and main top two in everything but also education, and

549
00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:33,920
Speaker 2: they're both blue states. So our issue now is that

550
00:26:34,040 --> 00:26:36,440
Speaker 2: we're fighting against white people who just hate black people.

551
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 2: We're fighting against people who are really miseducated and uneducated.

552
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:41,000
Speaker 1: And here's the truth.

553
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,120
Speaker 2: It ain't only white people, because there are a lot

554
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,159
Speaker 2: of miseducated and uneducated black people. And I watched it

555
00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:50,160
Speaker 2: in this election cycle. I watch people our age who

556
00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,560
Speaker 2: look just like us, say things and do things that

557
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 2: I'm like, yo, you have no idea what you're talking about.

558
00:26:56,840 --> 00:27:00,720
Speaker 2: And those are the people who voted for Trump. Because overwhelmingly,

559
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:03,840
Speaker 2: outside of what people think, people think like, oh, we

560
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 2: were split on voting for Trump black people, we were

561
00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:11,080
Speaker 2: not split. The overwhelming majority of black people voted for Kamala,

562
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,080
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. But the people who didn't

563
00:27:14,200 --> 00:27:16,360
Speaker 2: vote for Kamala and voted for Trump or didn't vote

564
00:27:16,359 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 2: at all or didn't vote at all, voted because they

565
00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:21,239
Speaker 2: weren't informed about everything that was going to affect us.

566
00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:24,080
Speaker 2: And now we see people, not only black people, white

567
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:28,920
Speaker 2: people upset. I watched on the news the firefighters from

568
00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:32,240
Speaker 2: nine to eleven and the police officers fro nine eleven

569
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 2: are pissed. All white Italian, Irish German men right who

570
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:41,119
Speaker 2: mostly voted for Trump are pissed now because the Trump

571
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,640
Speaker 2: administration voted to get rid of Medicare and Medicaid for

572
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 2: survivors of nine to eleven.

573
00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,080
Speaker 1: So now they all pissed.

574
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 2: And I'm just like, hey, guys, if you were educated

575
00:27:53,320 --> 00:27:55,879
Speaker 2: on what you were talking about, you would have voted

576
00:27:55,880 --> 00:27:58,960
Speaker 2: for someone who wouldn't take your liberties away. And that's

577
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,119
Speaker 2: why I no longer to blame like our contemporaries of

578
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,240
Speaker 2: white people for the state of white America.

579
00:28:05,359 --> 00:28:06,520
Speaker 1: It goes way deeper than that.

580
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:08,040
Speaker 2: And I just want to know what y'all think about that,

581
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:10,240
Speaker 2: because I don't look at the white person calls me,

582
00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,040
Speaker 2: be like you just racist, your parents had slaves.

583
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:14,600
Speaker 4: I don't. I don't look at it like that.

584
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 5: I think there's a couple of people, well, from what

585
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:20,240
Speaker 5: I've observed from a distance people who I've done business

586
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:22,040
Speaker 5: within the past, or former clients when I was a

587
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 5: makeup artist, and some of them have voted openly and

588
00:28:25,040 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 5: will say that they voted for Trump. And I know

589
00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:31,080
Speaker 5: that one in particular was very much in favor of

590
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:34,119
Speaker 5: Trump because Trump was now going to go back to

591
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:40,080
Speaker 5: there being only two genders. Voted and she was like,

592
00:28:40,160 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 5: I'm raising children now. She think she has like three

593
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:44,960
Speaker 5: or four kids, and she's like, and that's the big

594
00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:47,280
Speaker 5: that was her biggest arguing point, Like she wants to

595
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:48,960
Speaker 5: be in a world where her daughter can go to

596
00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:51,600
Speaker 5: the bathroom and I have to worry about other people

597
00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:52,240
Speaker 5: being in there.

598
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 8: But she can't right now, whether there's two genders or not,

599
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,360
Speaker 8: as long as there's a man on the planet, you

600
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 8: can't go send your daughter to the bathroom exactly.

601
00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 5: So then she's the same person now crying.

602
00:29:04,960 --> 00:29:07,720
Speaker 4: I'm saying it's the truth, though, but you see what

603
00:29:07,720 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 4: I'm saying about.

604
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 5: Just like the one thing that she kept harping on.

605
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,480
Speaker 5: But then now she's the same person crying because her

606
00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,960
Speaker 5: mom was let go from her job because of d E. I.

607
00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:20,280
Speaker 3: Because of d E.

608
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:24,840
Speaker 5: I rollbacks a white woman who was in her job,

609
00:29:25,760 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 5: you know, and now she's a job anymore.

610
00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,240
Speaker 3: And it's just like, now you want to be upset

611
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:34,160
Speaker 3: about that? So what what exactly are these people.

612
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,520
Speaker 5: Who voted for him? Like, what was your like your

613
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:38,960
Speaker 5: driving force? That's what I really want to understand.

614
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 4: Because me and Matt talked about it.

615
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:44,600
Speaker 2: We're sitting here watching NBA games and a commercial comes

616
00:29:44,640 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 2: on and it says Trump Now it says Kamala, she

617
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:50,560
Speaker 2: is for they them, Trump is for you.

618
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:52,080
Speaker 1: Fear bongering.

619
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,960
Speaker 2: And it used to come on every Sunday minutes, bro,

620
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:57,720
Speaker 2: and me and me and Matt used to.

621
00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 1: Be laughing look at this like it's like how.

622
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:05,000
Speaker 7: Crazy liberal liberal commalis for commalass something like that, Trump

623
00:30:05,040 --> 00:30:07,840
Speaker 7: is for you? That's around there, And I was.

624
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 4: Like, but that's fear.

625
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:14,280
Speaker 6: When when did the president control genders? That's like at

626
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 6: one of history did anybody think that Trump or Biden

627
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 6: can set genders in place? How is that the point that?

628
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:24,960
Speaker 6: How is that the hell you're dying on?

629
00:30:25,480 --> 00:30:29,520
Speaker 8: And if you believe that, you know, you can only

630
00:30:29,600 --> 00:30:32,240
Speaker 8: be born as male or female, you can't change it,

631
00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:34,520
Speaker 8: then why would you think the president can change it?

632
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:35,880
Speaker 1: That is a good point.

633
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:42,960
Speaker 3: That's not considering everything, like they hold on to one

634
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:45,840
Speaker 3: point that they feel like is in favor of what

635
00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,240
Speaker 3: they believe. And then also it's also when you when

636
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 3: you vote, thinking it's not going to affect you and

637
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:52,719
Speaker 3: your people.

638
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:57,600
Speaker 8: Yeah, like I'm stropping away somebody else's liberty to choose

639
00:30:58,040 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 8: how they want to dress, if they want to wear

640
00:31:00,120 --> 00:31:04,720
Speaker 8: or not, but it's not gonna affect me, so until

641
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:05,880
Speaker 8: that boom comes back.

642
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:07,720
Speaker 1: It's also the lies I had to do.

643
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 2: Tell me he only votes for Trump, he's a black

644
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 2: dude to the only voted for Trump because he's a

645
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,640
Speaker 2: very successful businessman. And I was he was just like,

646
00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:16,320
Speaker 2: here's what he said to me. He's like, man, Trump

647
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:18,760
Speaker 2: started from nothing and he's now worth like a billion dollars.

648
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:22,239
Speaker 2: And I said, who started from nothing? I said, did

649
00:31:22,240 --> 00:31:24,560
Speaker 2: you miss the whole clip about him being clown saying

650
00:31:24,560 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 2: that I started from the bottom. My father gave me

651
00:31:27,400 --> 00:31:30,240
Speaker 2: a small million dollar loan? Did you forget about that?

652
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:32,040
Speaker 2: And he was just like I didn't. I said, that's

653
00:31:32,040 --> 00:31:34,280
Speaker 2: the point. You didn't hear. You didn't try to look

654
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 2: for it research. I said, you know many time's Trump

655
00:31:37,360 --> 00:31:42,200
Speaker 2: went bankrupt? Yeah, he said, Trump's been bankrupt But that's

656
00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 2: my point though, right, like I can't I start to

657
00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:47,320
Speaker 2: have empathy for people, and I may be wrong and

658
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:48,680
Speaker 2: people are gonna be upset at me, but I have

659
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:50,000
Speaker 2: empathy for racists.

660
00:31:50,360 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 4: I have empathy for racists.

661
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:53,400
Speaker 2: And the reason why I have empathy for racist is

662
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:56,360
Speaker 2: because if my mom or dad told me that I

663
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,520
Speaker 2: had to hate certain people from the beginning of my

664
00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:01,239
Speaker 2: life and I and I just thought that that's how

665
00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,480
Speaker 2: it was. And then I went to church and those

666
00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:05,720
Speaker 2: same Christians, those Nationals tell me we got to hate

667
00:32:05,720 --> 00:32:08,240
Speaker 2: these people. How can you then blame that person who

668
00:32:08,280 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 2: is indoctrinated this way? Right, I have empathy for them,

669
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:13,280
Speaker 2: and if they ask me that question, like why are

670
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,560
Speaker 2: so angry? I do take my time. So when we

671
00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,600
Speaker 2: you know, the whole purpose of this podcast was like

672
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:22,320
Speaker 2: surviving Trump's America. Right, you know how I'm surviving Trump's America.

673
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,760
Speaker 2: Number one, Like you both said, I am going to

674
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 2: choose joy first. Why are we not marching? Because I'm

675
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:31,160
Speaker 2: tired of marching? Right, I'm going to dance and sing

676
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 2: and enjoy my blackness. But also if I have a

677
00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 2: chance to try to educate somebody, whether they be black, white, Asian,

678
00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 2: Indian Latin or LATINX. I am going to educate them

679
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: on the history of race relations in this country because

680
00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:48,200
Speaker 2: most people don't.

681
00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 4: Know because it was taken out of American history level, you.

682
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:54,120
Speaker 2: Know what I'm saying, Like the fact that we even

683
00:32:54,200 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 2: have to call it black history is a problem because

684
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,760
Speaker 2: now white people, Asian people, Indian LATINX are going to

685
00:32:59,800 --> 00:33:01,280
Speaker 2: be like, well, that's not my history, I don't have

686
00:33:01,320 --> 00:33:03,920
Speaker 2: to learn it. It is your history because you were

687
00:33:03,960 --> 00:33:06,320
Speaker 2: brought to this continent under the same pretense. A lot

688
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,560
Speaker 2: of Asian people don't talk about this. Do you know

689
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:13,480
Speaker 2: why Asians were considered model minorities Once they freed African

690
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:15,920
Speaker 2: Americans here in eighteen sixty five, right, and we had

691
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,400
Speaker 2: Western expansion, they needed to then cultivate the land to

692
00:33:19,480 --> 00:33:20,160
Speaker 2: build on it.

693
00:33:20,440 --> 00:33:22,680
Speaker 4: Right, we can't get black people to build on it.

694
00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:24,760
Speaker 2: So what we're going to do promise Asians when they

695
00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:27,240
Speaker 2: come over here, they're going to get the prosperity that

696
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:30,160
Speaker 2: white people get. And what they did was they gave

697
00:33:30,280 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 2: Asians the opportunity to do all this other stuff and

698
00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 2: said we're going to do this to separate yourself from

699
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,880
Speaker 2: black people. This is a fact because Asian Americans have

700
00:33:37,960 --> 00:33:41,480
Speaker 2: said it over time. We were given loans, and we

701
00:33:41,480 --> 00:33:45,520
Speaker 2: were given red line business loans. Redline business loans mean

702
00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 2: they would give Asian Americans, Indian Americans all the money

703
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:52,240
Speaker 2: they need to open up their businesses in black communities,

704
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:56,520
Speaker 2: not white communities, because they wanted Asians and Indians to

705
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:58,960
Speaker 2: be able to circulate the money from black communities and

706
00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:01,360
Speaker 2: take it out the community. Because now those people and

707
00:34:01,400 --> 00:34:04,440
Speaker 2: those entrepreneurs take that money today community. But if you

708
00:34:04,480 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 2: go to white communities, you don't see anybody but white

709
00:34:07,040 --> 00:34:08,600
Speaker 2: people owning their stuff.

710
00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,359
Speaker 4: And when you explain things like this to people, they

711
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,279
Speaker 4: start to Because I.

712
00:34:14,200 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 2: Definitely have Asian friends too. My father came here with nothing.

713
00:34:19,400 --> 00:34:21,040
Speaker 2: How come you know your parents have been here? How

714
00:34:21,040 --> 00:34:23,400
Speaker 2: come they haven't built? I said, well, do you understand

715
00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:26,919
Speaker 2: about Seneca Village in Telsa, Oklahoma? No, what is that

716
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,719
Speaker 2: every time black people build something for themselves, much like

717
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 2: you did, like Chinatown, it was burned down. So if

718
00:34:32,680 --> 00:34:35,959
Speaker 2: people burned down Chinatown right now in New York, y'all

719
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 2: still gonna say the same thing.

720
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:41,120
Speaker 1: Oh, that's what we need. We need education of history.

721
00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:43,880
Speaker 2: We don't need to feel sorry for ourselves. Because I

722
00:34:43,880 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 2: don't feel sorry about my blackness, but I also am

723
00:34:46,480 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 2: not gonna harbor no hatred towards people who are just

724
00:34:50,320 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 2: also just miseducated and uneducated.

725
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:55,120
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna do that no more. Y'all got problems

726
00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:56,240
Speaker 4: with me for whatever reason.

727
00:34:56,280 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 2: Okay, y'all got that problem, but I'm not gonna have

728
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 2: that roll around in chess.

729
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,360
Speaker 3: Is that why we have much Chinese Chinese food restaurants?

730
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:07,320
Speaker 5: And that is exactly what I was like Literally where

731
00:35:07,320 --> 00:35:09,000
Speaker 5: we used to live in Crown Heights, on the on

732
00:35:09,080 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 5: Notion Avenue, there was the Chinese food restaurant and the

733
00:35:11,640 --> 00:35:14,200
Speaker 5: liquor store owned by the Indian dude. And then yeah,

734
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:17,760
Speaker 5: it's like literally in succession, and it repeats every two blocks.

735
00:35:17,760 --> 00:35:19,200
Speaker 3: They were called the moat.

736
00:35:19,719 --> 00:35:21,120
Speaker 1: They're called model minorities.

737
00:35:21,200 --> 00:35:23,839
Speaker 2: You bring minorities into start business, and that business gets

738
00:35:23,880 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 2: taxed and that business goes into the government. But you

739
00:35:26,480 --> 00:35:29,600
Speaker 2: put those businesses in black communities, that was redlined. You

740
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:31,440
Speaker 2: don't give them a lot of money. You give them

741
00:35:31,560 --> 00:35:33,560
Speaker 2: enough money to be able to spend money with other

742
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 2: model minorities.

743
00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:38,719
Speaker 4: That's and and people don't understand that that was a systemic.

744
00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 3: Put in place.

745
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:40,600
Speaker 5: You know, m.

746
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:43,640
Speaker 3: Very very interesting stuff.

747
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,560
Speaker 8: I think it's also interesting now that you were talking

748
00:35:47,600 --> 00:35:51,839
Speaker 8: about Asian Americans coming or Asians coming over. Something that

749
00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 8: the President did recently was used the Alien Enemies Act

750
00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,799
Speaker 8: to deport a bunch of people kind of illegally. So

751
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,960
Speaker 8: the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight, it allowed

752
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:08,480
Speaker 8: the US government to deport non citizens if they were

753
00:36:08,560 --> 00:36:12,360
Speaker 8: found to like say something disparaging about the government, or

754
00:36:12,680 --> 00:36:14,960
Speaker 8: you know, if they thought that they, you know, were

755
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:16,719
Speaker 8: a part of some type of pretty much that.

756
00:36:16,760 --> 00:36:21,960
Speaker 2: They recognized their color. Yes, like vagrancy acts. Yeah, if

757
00:36:21,960 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 2: you can't read or write or own property, now you're

758
00:36:24,280 --> 00:36:26,440
Speaker 2: a felon. And now we can put you in prison,

759
00:36:26,480 --> 00:36:29,360
Speaker 2: and we can use convict leasing to lease that work

760
00:36:29,400 --> 00:36:31,400
Speaker 2: out to people who don't have to pay you.

761
00:36:31,840 --> 00:36:33,040
Speaker 1: So what they did with that.

762
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,480
Speaker 2: Was, oh, these immigrants think that they can talk bad

763
00:36:35,480 --> 00:36:38,359
Speaker 2: about our government, we can do this and deport them.

764
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:40,400
Speaker 4: But let me ask you a question. If we deport

765
00:36:40,440 --> 00:36:42,480
Speaker 4: all the people who are here doing the work, who's

766
00:36:42,480 --> 00:36:43,120
Speaker 4: going to do it work?

767
00:36:43,320 --> 00:36:44,279
Speaker 3: Who's going to do it?

768
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:48,759
Speaker 5: I just got to build in the mail from Bill, right,

769
00:36:49,880 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 5: I got to build in the mail from Bill talking

770
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:55,120
Speaker 5: about the price increase going up for our landscaping for example, right,

771
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:57,080
Speaker 5: and then Bill.

772
00:36:57,040 --> 00:36:59,680
Speaker 3: Just told me simultaneously last spring.

773
00:36:59,600 --> 00:37:02,200
Speaker 5: It's so hard to find workers. And you know your

774
00:37:02,239 --> 00:37:04,800
Speaker 5: flowers won't be put in for maybe about four to

775
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 5: six weeks. Somebody spring will be over by then, like

776
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:10,239
Speaker 5: it'll be multiple and you want to up the price too,

777
00:37:10,280 --> 00:37:13,000
Speaker 5: And who's going to do the work because you ain't

778
00:37:13,040 --> 00:37:13,359
Speaker 5: doing it?

779
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:18,640
Speaker 3: Bill, Bill has some you know, say.

780
00:37:18,520 --> 00:37:22,160
Speaker 2: He has some illegal people for the company so he

781
00:37:22,239 --> 00:37:25,400
Speaker 2: can pay them there minimal exactly, just like the government

782
00:37:25,440 --> 00:37:28,600
Speaker 2: did with the age over here to build the railroads

783
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:29,680
Speaker 2: for western expansion.

784
00:37:30,040 --> 00:37:33,359
Speaker 1: That is part of the American dream to.

785
00:37:33,320 --> 00:37:35,359
Speaker 4: Bring people who.

786
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: Don't look like us.

787
00:37:36,360 --> 00:37:39,440
Speaker 2: We villainize them, we criminalize their existence to keep them

788
00:37:39,480 --> 00:37:40,720
Speaker 2: in a small part of the country.

789
00:37:40,760 --> 00:37:42,400
Speaker 5: But we need them, and we need them for LA

790
00:37:43,080 --> 00:37:47,120
Speaker 5: cannot function without their services.

791
00:37:47,320 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 8: So, uh, you might have heard about I think his

792
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,600
Speaker 8: name is my Mood Khalil. He was deported recently for

793
00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:59,480
Speaker 8: uh protesting what's happening in Gaza, Israel at Columbia.

794
00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:00,840
Speaker 4: Yeah, there's test.

795
00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,680
Speaker 1: Going on, yes, yes, yes, yes.

796
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:06,799
Speaker 2: Detained and we talked about taking funding away from Colombia.

797
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,600
Speaker 8: Yes, And Trump has been saying he'll deport students if

798
00:38:10,640 --> 00:38:13,960
Speaker 8: they speak, if they're pro Palestinian. And so what followed

799
00:38:13,960 --> 00:38:16,480
Speaker 8: the Alien Enemies Act was the Sedition Act of nineteen

800
00:38:16,520 --> 00:38:20,680
Speaker 8: seventy seventeen, where they targeted American citizens for speaking against

801
00:38:20,680 --> 00:38:23,560
Speaker 8: the government or anti war protests.

802
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:27,160
Speaker 2: That's when they created concentration camps here in America. Correct,

803
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:31,640
Speaker 2: that was right right before, because they had concentration camps

804
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,040
Speaker 2: here in americament camps, tenement camps, my bad, not concentration guys,

805
00:38:35,040 --> 00:38:37,000
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, which is very different, but tenement camps. That

806
00:38:37,080 --> 00:38:39,319
Speaker 2: was around the same time, right, I just want to

807
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:41,879
Speaker 2: be clear. I don't know, because I know, I know

808
00:38:44,160 --> 00:38:48,520
Speaker 2: of Western expansion, there were tenement camps where a lot

809
00:38:48,560 --> 00:38:51,840
Speaker 2: of Asian people who were not quote unquote citizens.

810
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,400
Speaker 8: Oh you're talking about this was after yeah, this was

811
00:38:55,440 --> 00:38:58,360
Speaker 8: like the twenties. This was during World War War yeah,

812
00:38:58,640 --> 00:39:00,160
Speaker 8: or was it after World War Two?

813
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,799
Speaker 4: It was during Hiroshima? Yeah, so that was that's when.

814
00:39:02,880 --> 00:39:04,120
Speaker 4: It was right after Hiroshima.

815
00:39:04,160 --> 00:39:06,760
Speaker 2: And it was just like the Asians were the enemy,

816
00:39:06,880 --> 00:39:09,440
Speaker 2: you know how you know how America always finds an enemy.

817
00:39:10,080 --> 00:39:13,040
Speaker 2: It was it was black people, internment cancers, black people,

818
00:39:13,080 --> 00:39:15,319
Speaker 2: then it was Asians then during nine to eleven it

819
00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:18,960
Speaker 2: was Muslims and Indian people. It's like America always finds

820
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 2: an enemy, you know, and they put a face on

821
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,640
Speaker 2: the colored person and say that's the enemy.

822
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:25,880
Speaker 4: I think that's when that happened with those camps.

823
00:39:25,920 --> 00:39:29,120
Speaker 8: So now, yeah, that was that was during World War

824
00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:34,879
Speaker 8: Two in the forties, but this sedition was happening from

825
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,840
Speaker 8: the nineteen seventeens all through the fifties when you people

826
00:39:38,840 --> 00:39:43,200
Speaker 8: could get arrested for being accused of being communists, for

827
00:39:43,280 --> 00:39:45,799
Speaker 8: speaking out against the government, or for saying stuff like

828
00:39:45,840 --> 00:39:48,719
Speaker 8: we're saying black lives matter. There will come a time

829
00:39:48,800 --> 00:39:52,680
Speaker 8: during this presidency where if you are talking about black

830
00:39:52,719 --> 00:39:55,080
Speaker 8: lives matter. That's why they're making it illegal for race

831
00:39:55,120 --> 00:39:56,280
Speaker 8: based groups to exist.

832
00:39:56,719 --> 00:39:58,719
Speaker 4: Is it's going to there's gonna be a shit show.

833
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 4: I mean, hasn't it been like that? Though?

834
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:03,160
Speaker 2: The Black Panther Party was pretty much considered a terrorist

835
00:40:03,239 --> 00:40:06,239
Speaker 2: organization in the sixties and seventies because they were trying

836
00:40:06,280 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 2: to feed their families.

837
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 8: But that's where we're going back to the times in

838
00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,719
Speaker 8: the fifties and sixties where it was illegal to speak

839
00:40:12,719 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 8: out against the government.

840
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:14,360
Speaker 4: Free speeches.

841
00:40:14,640 --> 00:40:19,000
Speaker 8: Is is going down and I blame Barack Obama for

842
00:40:19,080 --> 00:40:22,440
Speaker 8: all of it, because everybody was saying, we wanted a

843
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 8: black president. Finally black people get something that we've been owed.

844
00:40:26,440 --> 00:40:31,000
Speaker 8: And Barack Obama wouldn't even talk about reparations. He wouldn't

845
00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:35,400
Speaker 8: even prove the anti lynching laws. He didn't do anything

846
00:40:35,440 --> 00:40:39,080
Speaker 8: because he was too scared of anti white sentiment during

847
00:40:39,080 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 8: the time. And now Donald Trump is just blatantly doing

848
00:40:43,080 --> 00:40:45,200
Speaker 8: anything that conservative white men want.

849
00:40:45,120 --> 00:40:46,920
Speaker 4: Him to do. Let me ask a question, though, was

850
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:48,640
Speaker 4: he scared or was he handicapped?

851
00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:53,480
Speaker 8: He said that, Well, I guess okay, but he did

852
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:56,440
Speaker 8: say that it was because he saw, you know, the

853
00:40:57,360 --> 00:40:59,879
Speaker 8: effects of anti white sentiment during the time.

854
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 4: Now I will agree with that. Right every time, you

855
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:05,080
Speaker 4: can't be handicapped, because that's what I'm saying.

856
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:07,160
Speaker 8: Trump is showing us that as president, you don't have

857
00:41:07,239 --> 00:41:10,880
Speaker 8: to listen to anybody himself.

858
00:41:11,680 --> 00:41:11,799
Speaker 2: Right.

859
00:41:12,239 --> 00:41:15,080
Speaker 3: I think Bock's hands retired with a lot of things.

860
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:22,600
Speaker 2: Think about history, right, Frederick Douglas. What came after Frederick Douglas?

861
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:26,839
Speaker 2: That this is the power hate? Martin Luther King? What

862
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:30,600
Speaker 2: happened after Martin Luther King white hate? We got mass incarceration.

863
00:41:31,400 --> 00:41:33,880
Speaker 2: What I think is and I'm only speaking what I

864
00:41:33,920 --> 00:41:36,279
Speaker 2: think because I never spoke to Barack Obama. He is

865
00:41:36,360 --> 00:41:39,600
Speaker 2: now the president of the free world. Is it going

866
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 2: to be more detrimental to my people if I go

867
00:41:41,800 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 2: up here and I am the black president or if

868
00:41:44,120 --> 00:41:46,800
Speaker 2: I'm a president. That's what I think. He was dealing

869
00:41:46,840 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 2: with a lot of right for a lot of people

870
00:41:50,080 --> 00:41:52,520
Speaker 2: who don't have empathy for people who understand the power

871
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:54,640
Speaker 2: that comes with that, they just be like, he's supposed

872
00:41:54,680 --> 00:41:56,440
Speaker 2: to be our president. He's supposed to do this, he's

873
00:41:56,440 --> 00:41:58,839
Speaker 2: supposed to do that. But they don't understand history. Every

874
00:41:58,840 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 2: time we had someone's they end up publicly for us.

875
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:06,120
Speaker 2: They came down harder on our people. And that's why

876
00:42:06,480 --> 00:42:09,880
Speaker 2: to journal truth and freaking Harriet Tubman created things like

877
00:42:09,920 --> 00:42:10,879
Speaker 2: the Underground World World.

878
00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:14,080
Speaker 4: We don't have to exclaim anything, you know what I'm saying.

879
00:42:14,239 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 8: Yeah, I get that, But like when the America was

880
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:20,080
Speaker 8: just the thirteen colonies that was ruled by the British

881
00:42:20,080 --> 00:42:24,520
Speaker 8: and the French. The people that founded America, that was

882
00:42:24,520 --> 00:42:26,839
Speaker 8: their whole thing. They had to stand up and they

883
00:42:26,920 --> 00:42:30,400
Speaker 8: got came down on harder every time and then until

884
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:32,840
Speaker 8: they had to go to war. And I feel like

885
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:35,400
Speaker 8: black people were only willing to go so far. You

886
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,160
Speaker 8: know what I'm saying, Like, if we get somebody in

887
00:42:37,200 --> 00:42:39,880
Speaker 8: the presidential seat, that person has to be willing to

888
00:42:39,880 --> 00:42:41,759
Speaker 8: put themselves on the line. I feel like for black

889
00:42:41,800 --> 00:42:43,560
Speaker 8: people or else, we're never gonna get there.

890
00:42:44,840 --> 00:42:45,640
Speaker 4: I disagree with that.

891
00:42:46,160 --> 00:42:47,400
Speaker 2: I feel like if he goes in there and put

892
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 2: himself on the line for black people, he gonna be

893
00:42:49,160 --> 00:42:50,840
Speaker 2: finished and Black finished.

894
00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:53,480
Speaker 4: That's just my opinion. It could happen that way, that's

895
00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:54,000
Speaker 4: my opinion.

896
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:56,080
Speaker 2: I just think that it's unfair to put that on

897
00:42:56,080 --> 00:42:59,440
Speaker 2: on him. I feel like we have learned though that

898
00:42:59,480 --> 00:43:01,520
Speaker 2: we even if we have a black president, we never

899
00:43:01,560 --> 00:43:03,400
Speaker 2: going to be the priority. That's why I said, I

900
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,680
Speaker 2: don't give a fuck who the president is. You know

901
00:43:05,680 --> 00:43:07,279
Speaker 2: what I'm saying. I'm just like, yo, let them do

902
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,160
Speaker 2: what they do at that level. And because my biggest

903
00:43:10,160 --> 00:43:12,879
Speaker 2: focus is what I deal with every single day. Right,

904
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:14,880
Speaker 2: I go from here to my kids' school, I go

905
00:43:14,920 --> 00:43:16,719
Speaker 2: from here to the studio, I go from here to

906
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,600
Speaker 2: the airport, right, and then I'm building. So I got

907
00:43:19,640 --> 00:43:21,799
Speaker 2: to make sure everything around these areas is good.

908
00:43:21,920 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 4: Right.

909
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:24,520
Speaker 2: We went to our local We went to those local

910
00:43:24,560 --> 00:43:27,320
Speaker 2: meetings for the Democrats earlier because we wanted to know

911
00:43:27,360 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 2: who our local government was, you know. So that's my

912
00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:32,680
Speaker 2: biggest thing is, Okay, the president can do whatever he wants.

913
00:43:32,680 --> 00:43:35,000
Speaker 2: I want to know who my old min is city council.

914
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 4: I want to know those people.

915
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:38,600
Speaker 7: Those are the most important. People don't know. And that's

916
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:40,640
Speaker 7: the problem with our community. We don't know those people.

917
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:44,680
Speaker 7: We don't do mid mid season polls or all these

918
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:49,479
Speaker 7: we don't participate, and then when it's time we start complaining. Also,

919
00:43:50,200 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 7: only was the president while they had the House. It

920
00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,400
Speaker 7: ends with tied that literally facts.

921
00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:57,040
Speaker 2: I mean when he forged out in, I think we

922
00:43:57,160 --> 00:43:59,399
Speaker 2: had the House and then we didn't vote, and then

923
00:43:59,400 --> 00:43:59,880
Speaker 2: they got that.

924
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:03,880
Speaker 7: So Democrats had the House and the Senate.

925
00:44:04,320 --> 00:44:07,920
Speaker 2: I believe when Obama first got in we had the

926
00:44:07,960 --> 00:44:10,200
Speaker 2: House because I remember I don't remember, you can look

927
00:44:10,239 --> 00:44:12,319
Speaker 2: it up, but I remember people saying that once we

928
00:44:12,360 --> 00:44:15,440
Speaker 2: won the presidency, black people stopped voting and we lost control.

929
00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: That's what I kept hearing.

930
00:44:17,560 --> 00:44:20,160
Speaker 2: And they said the last six years of Obama's presidency,

931
00:44:20,480 --> 00:44:23,080
Speaker 2: he really couldn't do much because they wouldn't control everything

932
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:23,919
Speaker 2: was read at that point.

933
00:44:24,040 --> 00:44:27,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't think anything was getting past.

934
00:44:27,280 --> 00:44:29,960
Speaker 2: And then he got obama Care passed, which they're quickly

935
00:44:30,040 --> 00:44:32,520
Speaker 2: rolling back now, Yeah, you know what I'm saying, because

936
00:44:32,560 --> 00:44:34,600
Speaker 2: they just want to undo anything that he's done.

937
00:44:34,840 --> 00:44:37,800
Speaker 8: Yeah, and I do think racism is a distraction from

938
00:44:37,960 --> 00:44:42,400
Speaker 8: everything else because I did also see a video of

939
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:46,960
Speaker 8: white people immigrants in California that were upset because they're

940
00:44:47,040 --> 00:44:50,560
Speaker 8: losing their Medicaid. Yeah, a dude on oxygen who voted

941
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:53,040
Speaker 8: for Trump is out there now upset because he's going

942
00:44:53,080 --> 00:44:55,080
Speaker 8: to lose his health care and he can't afford that

943
00:44:55,160 --> 00:44:58,879
Speaker 8: damn oxygen without it. So I think I do think

944
00:44:58,920 --> 00:45:01,040
Speaker 8: that everybody it is class issue.

945
00:45:01,120 --> 00:45:02,600
Speaker 4: I think that's a class issue.

946
00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:06,800
Speaker 8: Racism always distracts people from the fact that they're poor

947
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,439
Speaker 8: and they don't have any power either. If you are

948
00:45:09,480 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 8: not in the top one percent, you don't have shit,

949
00:45:12,480 --> 00:45:14,080
Speaker 8: you know. And so you should be on the same

950
00:45:14,120 --> 00:45:18,800
Speaker 8: side because right now there's somebody who is the president

951
00:45:18,880 --> 00:45:22,800
Speaker 8: has to be us born, and he his closest advisor

952
00:45:22,920 --> 00:45:26,440
Speaker 8: right now, is not elected.

953
00:45:26,719 --> 00:45:27,319
Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying.

954
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:29,840
Speaker 7: Let's remember that.

955
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:33,760
Speaker 2: Is doing the same thing in Germany with their government

956
00:45:33,800 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 2: that he's doing here. He's using his billions to pretty

957
00:45:37,120 --> 00:45:39,960
Speaker 2: much create an oligarchy and all of these these places

958
00:45:39,960 --> 00:45:41,719
Speaker 2: so that he can have control to do whatever he

959
00:45:41,760 --> 00:45:43,799
Speaker 2: wants to do, which is make more trillions.

960
00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:45,520
Speaker 4: That's all he whatever wants to do.

961
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,960
Speaker 7: So I got it here. Nine to eleven Democrats out

962
00:45:49,920 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 7: of the House and the same so the first two years, the.

963
00:45:52,800 --> 00:45:55,879
Speaker 4: First two years, So that's what happened the first two years,

964
00:45:55,920 --> 00:45:56,160
Speaker 4: and then.

965
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:59,640
Speaker 7: His final two years Republicans at it both. Oh well,

966
00:45:59,680 --> 00:46:01,960
Speaker 7: that makes it was split for four years and then

967
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:05,880
Speaker 7: for the last two Uh, they had it.

968
00:46:06,600 --> 00:46:08,120
Speaker 2: One thing I want to say before we take a break,

969
00:46:08,160 --> 00:46:09,719
Speaker 2: because we will have to take a break, I do

970
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:12,799
Speaker 2: want I want people to realize this. Black people have

971
00:46:12,920 --> 00:46:15,960
Speaker 2: never been the priority right in this country. But also

972
00:46:15,960 --> 00:46:19,080
Speaker 2: black people haven't been the priority to take down because

973
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:20,960
Speaker 2: they don't even care enough about us to try to

974
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:23,040
Speaker 2: take us down. That's why we need to be more quiet.

975
00:46:23,320 --> 00:46:25,640
Speaker 2: Right the whole DEI thing, a lot of black people

976
00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:27,000
Speaker 2: got upset they rolling.

977
00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:28,000
Speaker 4: Back to the DEI programs.

978
00:46:28,040 --> 00:46:30,279
Speaker 2: But what they don't realize the people who benefited the

979
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:31,120
Speaker 2: most was white women.

980
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,680
Speaker 4: So then rolling back DEI programs isn't going to affect

981
00:46:34,760 --> 00:46:35,600
Speaker 4: us directly?

982
00:46:36,080 --> 00:46:36,319
Speaker 7: Is it?

983
00:46:36,360 --> 00:46:36,839
Speaker 4: Fucked up?

984
00:46:36,880 --> 00:46:39,920
Speaker 2: Yeahs fucked up? But it doesn't directly affect us the

985
00:46:39,960 --> 00:46:41,920
Speaker 2: way we think it will. And that's how sometimes we

986
00:46:41,920 --> 00:46:43,560
Speaker 2: got to get out of our emotions and be like, Okay,

987
00:46:43,560 --> 00:46:45,440
Speaker 2: I see y'all, I see what y'all doing. Let me

988
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,000
Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. That's why I think that's

989
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:50,560
Speaker 2: what I am with it. I'm not even focused on the.

990
00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:52,239
Speaker 3: Other bullshit the more you know.

991
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,000
Speaker 5: All Right, y'all, let's take a quick break and we're

992
00:46:55,040 --> 00:47:05,920
Speaker 5: going to get back with our listener letter of today.

993
00:47:11,360 --> 00:47:14,439
Speaker 5: All right, and we're back. Let's dive into listen letter

994
00:47:14,480 --> 00:47:15,919
Speaker 5: and see what y'all say. I'm mountain this week.

995
00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:16,280
Speaker 4: Okay.

996
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:20,280
Speaker 5: I met my boyfriend back in undergrad at Delaware State University.

997
00:47:20,320 --> 00:47:23,160
Speaker 5: He's from Fort Lauderdale born and raised, while I'm originally

998
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:26,279
Speaker 5: from up North. After college, I found myself moving to

999
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:30,239
Speaker 5: Fort Lauderdale, not technically for him, partially because I got

1000
00:47:30,280 --> 00:47:32,800
Speaker 5: into a master's program in Miami, but let's be honest,

1001
00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,719
Speaker 5: it was mostly for him. That sounds like me, Yeah,

1002
00:47:35,680 --> 00:47:38,400
Speaker 5: I'm sure. Yeah, it's like it worked out. It was

1003
00:47:38,760 --> 00:47:42,680
Speaker 5: the divine intervention. Fast forward to now we're living together.

1004
00:47:42,719 --> 00:47:45,080
Speaker 5: He's a teacher with big dreams of becoming a principal,

1005
00:47:45,080 --> 00:47:49,919
Speaker 5: and I'm one hundred percent his biggest cheerleader. On top

1006
00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:53,799
Speaker 5: of that, he started a referee assignment business that he's

1007
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:56,719
Speaker 5: determined to grow here in Florida. But here's where things

1008
00:47:56,760 --> 00:47:59,480
Speaker 5: get spicy. We love a little spice.

1009
00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:01,600
Speaker 3: I recently gave him an ultimatum.

1010
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 5: I told him that when I graduate with my doctorate,

1011
00:48:04,719 --> 00:48:06,239
Speaker 5: it's time for him to put a ring on it

1012
00:48:06,360 --> 00:48:09,160
Speaker 5: or I'm out of there. I have big plans for

1013
00:48:09,200 --> 00:48:11,600
Speaker 5: my future and I don't want to put my goals

1014
00:48:11,640 --> 00:48:15,680
Speaker 5: on hold. I intend to become a motivational speaker and

1015
00:48:15,719 --> 00:48:19,360
Speaker 5: a professor at an HBCU back home near Jersey. So

1016
00:48:19,360 --> 00:48:21,319
Speaker 5: I'm curious what's your take on this? Is it too

1017
00:48:21,400 --> 00:48:25,680
Speaker 5: much pressure? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

1018
00:48:29,239 --> 00:48:29,640
Speaker 4: Whatever?

1019
00:48:29,880 --> 00:48:32,279
Speaker 2: You already know how I feel about this. I like

1020
00:48:32,680 --> 00:48:35,120
Speaker 2: when people say what they need and what they want

1021
00:48:35,200 --> 00:48:38,439
Speaker 2: and what they require. I hate ultimatums because I feel

1022
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:41,280
Speaker 2: like it's unfair, Like ultimatums is your way of the highway.

1023
00:48:41,320 --> 00:48:42,600
Speaker 4: And if this is supposed to be a.

1024
00:48:42,560 --> 00:48:44,800
Speaker 2: Team, how about you tell me what you want and

1025
00:48:44,880 --> 00:48:47,520
Speaker 2: let's see if we can work out a way to

1026
00:48:47,560 --> 00:48:49,840
Speaker 2: get what you want while getting what I want. But

1027
00:48:49,880 --> 00:48:52,080
Speaker 2: when it's the ultimatum. Put a ring on it. After this,

1028
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:53,720
Speaker 2: when I'm done, it's kind of like, wait a minute,

1029
00:48:53,719 --> 00:48:56,600
Speaker 2: so now I have to live on your timeline.

1030
00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:57,520
Speaker 4: That throws meals.

1031
00:48:57,560 --> 00:48:59,600
Speaker 5: I wonder if this person listen to you, I think

1032
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,360
Speaker 5: we've done it episode about this where we or at

1033
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:03,880
Speaker 5: least when we explained when we were in a similar situation.

1034
00:49:03,960 --> 00:49:07,719
Speaker 5: So Devall was playing in Detroit at the time, and

1035
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,680
Speaker 5: I was finished grad school, moved to Detroit to be

1036
00:49:11,760 --> 00:49:13,799
Speaker 5: with you because I know you needed the company and

1037
00:49:13,800 --> 00:49:16,719
Speaker 5: the support. You needed it while you were there, and

1038
00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:19,000
Speaker 5: then it was me trying to figure out, Okay, what's next.

1039
00:49:19,440 --> 00:49:21,839
Speaker 5: I think in hindsight, once I really like hashed out

1040
00:49:22,120 --> 00:49:25,759
Speaker 5: my what my apprehension was at the time, it was

1041
00:49:26,239 --> 00:49:29,280
Speaker 5: that I couldn't just be stagnant while you were building

1042
00:49:29,440 --> 00:49:33,560
Speaker 5: essentially like your NFL career, and I was just there right,

1043
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,719
Speaker 5: you know. So when you felt like I gave you

1044
00:49:35,719 --> 00:49:38,040
Speaker 5: an ultimatum where I told you, like, listen, either we're

1045
00:49:38,080 --> 00:49:40,359
Speaker 5: going to be like committed to this future or I'm

1046
00:49:40,360 --> 00:49:41,560
Speaker 5: going to go back to New York and try to

1047
00:49:41,560 --> 00:49:44,040
Speaker 5: find a job. I realized now that it was me

1048
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:47,799
Speaker 5: just not wanting to just be stagnant and just sit

1049
00:49:47,880 --> 00:49:50,360
Speaker 5: there waiting for you. It was me feeling like I

1050
00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,440
Speaker 5: needed to do something. I felt like I had my

1051
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,440
Speaker 5: parents watching me from a distance, like up and moved

1052
00:49:55,840 --> 00:49:58,440
Speaker 5: from New York to Detroit, you know, to be with

1053
00:49:58,600 --> 00:50:01,400
Speaker 5: your boyfriend. But it's like, what are you doing for yourself?

1054
00:50:02,440 --> 00:50:05,920
Speaker 5: So for you, Hun, I think my biggest the I.

1055
00:50:05,840 --> 00:50:08,560
Speaker 2: Think how she gives that message is important because the

1056
00:50:08,560 --> 00:50:10,360
Speaker 2: way you said it just now wasn't the way you

1057
00:50:10,400 --> 00:50:12,000
Speaker 2: said it. Remember you said to me, I'm going back

1058
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:14,200
Speaker 2: to New York. I'm not trying to be your living girlfriend, right,

1059
00:50:14,920 --> 00:50:16,000
Speaker 2: Like think about you say.

1060
00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:18,640
Speaker 3: That to delivery and words have power.

1061
00:50:18,760 --> 00:50:20,080
Speaker 1: Words have power, right.

1062
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,200
Speaker 2: So I feel like for a lot of people in

1063
00:50:22,239 --> 00:50:24,400
Speaker 2: this situation, because we've had a couple of men to

1064
00:50:24,520 --> 00:50:25,799
Speaker 2: be like I'm ready for you, and she don't want

1065
00:50:25,800 --> 00:50:28,520
Speaker 2: to do this. It's like, Yo, don't give people ultimatums, right,

1066
00:50:28,640 --> 00:50:31,080
Speaker 2: tell them what your plan is, right, tell them you

1067
00:50:31,120 --> 00:50:33,359
Speaker 2: have timetables, how you feel is what.

1068
00:50:33,280 --> 00:50:34,319
Speaker 1: You want and what you need.

1069
00:50:34,400 --> 00:50:39,760
Speaker 2: Absolutely, if that person values you and your company, they'll

1070
00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:42,200
Speaker 2: find a way to make it work for both of y'all.

1071
00:50:42,320 --> 00:50:44,160
Speaker 2: If they don't, they're going to be like a well

1072
00:50:44,200 --> 00:50:45,680
Speaker 2: that's what you want to do, what you gotta do.

1073
00:50:45,760 --> 00:50:46,640
Speaker 2: And then from there, you.

1074
00:50:46,560 --> 00:50:49,600
Speaker 5: Know, because she did say she was He's from Fort Lauderdale.

1075
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,000
Speaker 5: She got into a program in Miami, maybe on purpose

1076
00:50:52,040 --> 00:50:54,200
Speaker 5: to be with him, maybe not. But then at the

1077
00:50:54,280 --> 00:50:56,000
Speaker 5: end of this she says she wants to eventually be

1078
00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,760
Speaker 5: a motivational speaker and be up at HBCU and Jersey.

1079
00:50:58,960 --> 00:51:01,279
Speaker 3: Does he plan to leave Florida to go back up

1080
00:51:01,320 --> 00:51:01,840
Speaker 3: to Jersey?

1081
00:51:01,920 --> 00:51:02,000
Speaker 6: Like?

1082
00:51:02,360 --> 00:51:04,279
Speaker 5: Is that even in the cards for him? Or is

1083
00:51:04,320 --> 00:51:07,680
Speaker 5: he assuming that, Well, you came to Florida to be

1084
00:51:07,719 --> 00:51:10,160
Speaker 5: here with me, so maybe we'll build a life in Florida. Like,

1085
00:51:10,160 --> 00:51:13,160
Speaker 5: these are just open conversations that need to be have

1086
00:51:13,360 --> 00:51:17,080
Speaker 5: with your full intentions laid out on the table.

1087
00:51:17,239 --> 00:51:19,000
Speaker 2: Have a question for sure, is she gonna be a

1088
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:21,440
Speaker 2: motivational speaker and she plans on being good? How come

1089
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,200
Speaker 2: she can't motivate this man to put a ring on.

1090
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:31,520
Speaker 3: God inquiring mind of motivations, that's a whole different.

1091
00:51:31,520 --> 00:51:34,040
Speaker 4: You cannot motivate anybody to want to be married.

1092
00:51:34,160 --> 00:51:38,200
Speaker 5: The wantval has said, and I've heard this from several men,

1093
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:43,160
Speaker 5: Josh and Matt included. Men have a timeline, Men have

1094
00:51:43,280 --> 00:51:46,239
Speaker 5: a plan. If his intention is to be with you

1095
00:51:46,320 --> 00:51:49,120
Speaker 5: long term and to marry you. Chances are he's already

1096
00:51:49,160 --> 00:51:51,680
Speaker 5: thinking about that, and he's already putting the wheels in

1097
00:51:51,719 --> 00:51:53,600
Speaker 5: motion and making the plans.

1098
00:51:53,719 --> 00:51:54,319

1200
00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:47,719
Speaker 4: Just like I just want to marry your daughter.

1201
00:55:49,360 --> 00:55:51,080
Speaker 3: This if I was delusional at that age, and you

1202
00:55:51,200 --> 00:55:52,160
Speaker 3: probably were just as.

1203
00:55:52,120 --> 00:55:56,680
Speaker 2: Delusional to delusional now true I've been. When I first

1204
00:55:56,719 --> 00:56:02,040
Speaker 2: saw you, no, Lie, I was like, damn, sorry.

1205
00:56:03,040 --> 00:56:06,279
Speaker 7: Aren't most dreams that you aspire to, like really big

1206
00:56:06,440 --> 00:56:08,319
Speaker 7: dreams and stuff? You got to have a little bit

1207
00:56:08,320 --> 00:56:08,480
Speaker 7: of a.

1208
00:56:10,760 --> 00:56:13,120
Speaker 3: Lot of delusion and insanity.

1209
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:18,200
Speaker 4: I don't think it's delusion. Everybody will believe in God, right,

1210
00:56:18,480 --> 00:56:19,239
Speaker 4: that's the higher being.

1211
00:56:19,360 --> 00:56:23,800
Speaker 2: Right, God, I think exists to give you the visions

1212
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:25,359
Speaker 2: of where you're supposed to be in life.

1213
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:26,360
Speaker 1: You listen to God, he.

1214
00:56:26,400 --> 00:56:28,200
Speaker 3: Tells you your journey ultimately as well.

1215
00:56:28,280 --> 00:56:31,040
Speaker 4: Yeah, but ultimately he gave you the vision of what

1216
00:56:31,160 --> 00:56:31,680
Speaker 4: it was for you.

1217
00:56:31,880 --> 00:56:32,640
Speaker 1: He can give it to me.

1218
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:35,560
Speaker 2: So when you say you love me, it's because somebody

1219
00:56:35,640 --> 00:56:37,040
Speaker 2: made it clear to you, like this is where I

1220
00:56:37,080 --> 00:56:39,000
Speaker 2: was supposed to be. The same way when I told

1221
00:56:39,040 --> 00:56:41,840
Speaker 2: you my plan for my life, God gave me that

1222
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:43,560
Speaker 2: vision for me to say this is what I'm going

1223
00:56:43,640 --> 00:56:46,200
Speaker 2: to do. Most people to that point were just.

1224
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:52,520
Speaker 4: Like, TV, you're not doing that.

1225
00:56:52,760 --> 00:56:55,160
Speaker 1: And this woman right here said, so, how are you

1226
00:56:55,239 --> 00:56:55,680
Speaker 1: going to do it?

1227
00:56:56,640 --> 00:56:58,319
Speaker 4: And I in my mind, I was like, what made

1228
00:56:58,360 --> 00:56:59,759
Speaker 4: I think that I was capable of.

1229
00:56:59,760 --> 00:57:02,000
Speaker 1: Do it this, but the fact that you believe there

1230
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,160
Speaker 1: in me made me be like, nah, this is the one.

1231
00:57:05,239 --> 00:57:07,759
Speaker 5: It might be because I also wanted to be on

1232
00:57:07,920 --> 00:57:10,239
Speaker 5: TV and do those things and haven't been.

1233

Speaker 2: over ten years ago.

Speaker 4: I was like, my wife's going to do this. My

1238
00:57:20,800 --> 00:57:21,560
Speaker 4: wife is going to do this.

1241
00:57:28,320 --> 00:57:31,200

1267
00:58:45,160 --> 00:58:47,680
Speaker 2: on the history, world history, so you can learn how

1268
00:58:47,720 --> 00:58:51,280
Speaker 2: to navigate. And nothing's too too much, it's not too overwhelming.

1274
00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:11,520
