<v Speaker 2>It all started with real talk, unfiltered, honest and straight

0:00:25.560 --> 0:00:27.600
<v Speaker 2>from the heart. Since then, we've gone on to become

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 2>Webby award winning podcasters in New York Times bestselling authors.

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:33.639
<v Speaker 5>Dead Ass was more than a podcast for us. It

0:00:33.720 --> 0:00:36.879
<v Speaker 5>was about our growth, a place where we could be vulnerable, be.

0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:39.920

<v Speaker 2>really really tired. Okay, So I'm gonna tell you a

0:01:11.880 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 2>story about fatigue, and I'm not even gonna take you

0:01:15.400 --> 0:01:17.440
<v Speaker 2>back to a specific time. I'm gonna take you back

0:01:17.440 --> 0:01:19.080
<v Speaker 2>to what I had to live through in my life.

0:01:19.600 --> 0:01:19.800
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:01:20.600 --> 0:01:24.480
<v Speaker 2>I was born in nineteen eighty four. The president was

0:01:24.560 --> 0:01:27.400
<v Speaker 2>Ronald Reagan, so I was born into Reaganomics.

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:28.600
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:31.720
<v Speaker 1>I lived through both Bushes.

0:01:33.080 --> 0:01:38.720
<v Speaker 2>Trump one term and now Trump another term. I honestly

0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 2>feel like there's nothing that I haven't seen in these

0:01:41.160 --> 0:01:46.119
<v Speaker 2>forty years. I lived through stopping frisk, mass incarceration, nine

0:01:46.160 --> 0:01:52.600
<v Speaker 2>to eleven, the pandemic, like all the things, and every

0:01:52.640 --> 0:01:57.400
<v Speaker 2>time something came up, I thought it was doomsday. The

0:01:57.440 --> 0:01:59.320
<v Speaker 2>older I get now, I realize that they don't.

0:01:59.120 --> 0:02:00.240
<v Speaker 4>Have the control we have it.

0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 3>That's a fact.

0:02:00.960 --> 0:02:01.720
<v Speaker 4>So that's my story.

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:04.600
<v Speaker 5>Every other day, I'm like, geezus coming for forty years.

0:02:04.640 --> 0:02:08.520
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, be prepared. Let me get prepared. So you know,

0:02:08.800 --> 0:02:10.519
<v Speaker 5>facts here, we are.

0:02:10.520 --> 0:02:13.280
<v Speaker 4>Here, we are karaoke.

0:02:15.200 --> 0:02:18.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, you started in the sound bite.

0:02:18.919 --> 0:02:21.080
<v Speaker 5>I was like, we've used this song before, but I

0:02:21.080 --> 0:02:22.840
<v Speaker 5>think it's just very appropriate.

0:02:24.160 --> 0:02:26.080
<v Speaker 3>Truth is, some time.

0:02:27.919 --> 0:02:29.800
<v Speaker 1>Options are few.

0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:32.440
<v Speaker 3>Right, they're actually fruit few.

0:02:33.000 --> 0:02:33.480
<v Speaker 4>It's bad.

0:02:33.560 --> 0:02:35.400
<v Speaker 5>I mean, I mean we have I mean at this point,

0:02:35.400 --> 0:02:37.799
<v Speaker 5>what can we control. I feel like it's my biggest thing.

0:02:38.120 --> 0:02:40.519
<v Speaker 7>You know, you're tired because y'all just stop singing Carrier completely.

0:02:40.840 --> 0:02:41.440
<v Speaker 1>Well, I have.

0:02:41.360 --> 0:02:43.480
<v Speaker 2>Another part of karaoke, though, Man, I do have another

0:02:43.520 --> 0:02:45.640
<v Speaker 2>part of karaoke, and it's the song that we sang

0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:56.560
<v Speaker 2>before my man, Tupac uh Huh's favorite song. Yeah, remember changes?

0:02:57.120 --> 0:02:59.400
<v Speaker 2>So I see no changes? Wake up in the morning

0:02:59.400 --> 0:03:01.840
<v Speaker 2>and I asked my self, is life work living? Should

0:03:01.840 --> 0:03:04.120
<v Speaker 2>I blast myself? I'm try to be im poorant even

0:03:04.160 --> 0:03:06.000
<v Speaker 2>worse some black. My stomach hurts, so I'm looking for

0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.120
<v Speaker 2>a purse to snatch. It is twenty twenty five, and

0:03:09.160 --> 0:03:12.840
<v Speaker 2>people still feel the same exact way. That song was

0:03:12.840 --> 0:03:16.280
<v Speaker 2>written in the nineties by Tupac Shakor, and there are

0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>a lot of young people, not just men, men and

0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.680
<v Speaker 2>women who feel the same exact way. Because we're headed

0:03:21.680 --> 0:03:24.760
<v Speaker 2>towards another recession, so we're gonna take a quick break.

0:03:25.280 --> 0:03:27.400
<v Speaker 2>We're gonna bring some light and levity to this topic.

0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:33.280
<v Speaker 5>It don't it is gonna be what it's gonna be, yes,

0:03:33.520 --> 0:03:35.600
<v Speaker 5>but at least we have some solidarity together.

0:03:35.680 --> 0:03:38.040
<v Speaker 3>We can visit and we can just talk about how

0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:38.800
<v Speaker 3>this all feels.

0:03:38.880 --> 0:03:40.880
<v Speaker 2>And here's the truth though, because I've been watching a

0:03:40.920 --> 0:03:44.320
<v Speaker 2>lot of television, black people ain't the only people trying

0:03:44.360 --> 0:03:51.960
<v Speaker 2>to survive in this administration, all right, we are back,

0:03:52.200 --> 0:03:55.680
<v Speaker 2>and before we get into the meat horse of the show,

0:03:56.320 --> 0:03:58.080
<v Speaker 2>we can go to my favorite segment of the show

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 2>with my home girl trouble trips.

0:04:01.480 --> 0:04:07.160
<v Speaker 1>Yo yo, no, I'm interested what you got for me today?

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:07.800
<v Speaker 3>What's happening?

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:07.920
<v Speaker 6>So?

0:04:08.320 --> 0:04:11.080
<v Speaker 4>Uh these are mostly politically.

0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.480
<v Speaker 8>This a little bit because the United States is getting

0:04:15.480 --> 0:04:17.720
<v Speaker 8>a bad rap out of all over the world right now,

0:04:18.520 --> 0:04:24.120
<v Speaker 8>and uh it wasn't bad enough. A French lawmaker recently

0:04:24.279 --> 0:04:26.960
<v Speaker 8>said that he wants the US to give back the

0:04:27.000 --> 0:04:30.320
<v Speaker 8>Statue of Liberty, and I wanted to hear y'all's op

0:04:30.320 --> 0:04:32.560
<v Speaker 8>for no op on. This is your New Yorkers. You

0:04:32.640 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 8>grew up with the girl, you know, the girl.

0:04:35.360 --> 0:04:37.919
<v Speaker 3>That's the big sense, that's big Sense.

0:04:37.960 --> 0:04:40.680
<v Speaker 5>I definitely went up to her crown, you know, one

0:04:40.760 --> 0:04:44.160
<v Speaker 5>day with Bethlehem.

0:04:44.240 --> 0:04:45.480
<v Speaker 4>That was the second school trip.

0:04:46.400 --> 0:04:47.520
<v Speaker 1>Shout out now trade.

0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:51.040
<v Speaker 8>School, yes, yes, yes, So before you answer this, though,

0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.320
<v Speaker 8>I wanted to share with you some history I learned

0:04:53.360 --> 0:04:55.000
<v Speaker 8>about the Statue of Liberty recently.

0:04:55.240 --> 0:04:57.120
<v Speaker 4>Okay, so the Statue of Liberty.

0:04:56.920 --> 0:05:01.320
<v Speaker 8>Is supposed to come in ain't the end of slavery?

0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:05.200
<v Speaker 8>And because of that, the Lady Liberty is supposed to

0:05:05.240 --> 0:05:12.640
<v Speaker 8>be a black woman who is broken free of her chains. However, Americans,

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.560
<v Speaker 8>whoever was in charge at that point, they did not

0:05:14.760 --> 0:05:18.480
<v Speaker 8>want to depict a slave in the Statue of Liberty.

0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:21.120
<v Speaker 8>So the French dude who made it, he delivered the

0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:25.320
<v Speaker 8>statue without the chains. But if you go to the

0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.560
<v Speaker 8>Statue of Liberty, you can actually see the broken chains

0:05:28.600 --> 0:05:31.360
<v Speaker 8>at her feet. They're still there, but they're not visible

0:05:31.520 --> 0:05:37.240
<v Speaker 8>from the sky yet. So having said that, what is

0:05:37.279 --> 0:05:39.279
<v Speaker 8>your op or no op on the Statue of Liberty

0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:40.440
<v Speaker 8>being given back to friends?

0:05:40.480 --> 0:05:43.720
<v Speaker 5>Her features aren't given system at all because they didn't

0:05:43.720 --> 0:05:47.640
<v Speaker 5>want to where's the full lips and the nose like

0:05:47.680 --> 0:05:50.840
<v Speaker 5>I want to see us? So maybe they should like

0:05:51.160 --> 0:05:53.160
<v Speaker 5>send her back and fix her and bring her back.

0:05:54.000 --> 0:05:56.479
<v Speaker 2>Well, if we're being honest, I'm just wondering if France

0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.640
<v Speaker 2>is going to if they want stuff back, or they're

0:05:58.640 --> 0:06:01.159
<v Speaker 2>going to give Haiti back reparation as they did to

0:06:01.200 --> 0:06:01.880
<v Speaker 2>the Asian people.

0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:03.640
<v Speaker 1>That's just really if we're going to stalk.

0:06:03.520 --> 0:06:08.880
<v Speaker 2>To hold people accountable, that really hold people accountable, because

0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:13.200
<v Speaker 2>France has been exploiting Haiti since the Haitian Revolution, the

0:06:13.240 --> 0:06:15.920
<v Speaker 2>actual first slave revolution against the French people.

0:06:16.279 --> 0:06:19.600
<v Speaker 4>So if we're gonna, you know, talk about reality France.

0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.480
<v Speaker 2>I appreciate you saying that, you know, the United States

0:06:22.480 --> 0:06:24.640
<v Speaker 2>needs to do better, but United States is not the

0:06:24.680 --> 0:06:26.839
<v Speaker 2>only country that needs to do better.

0:06:27.080 --> 0:06:29.440
<v Speaker 4>And that's that's my opinion on that.

0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.640
<v Speaker 5>So Haiti is one of a couple of Caribbean islands

0:06:31.640 --> 0:06:33.520
<v Speaker 5>that I know I've been the rule.

0:06:36.600 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>People talk about it, talk about it, talk about it.

0:06:42.040 --> 0:06:42.640
<v Speaker 4>Talk about it.

0:06:44.200 --> 0:06:46.560
<v Speaker 5>We're going to be pulling straws here, you know what

0:06:46.560 --> 0:06:48.600
<v Speaker 5>I'm saying. Let's go all the way with it.

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 4>That's my opinion. I agree with that.

0:06:51.520 --> 0:06:54.080
<v Speaker 8>I think the French France is probably one of the

0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:58.840
<v Speaker 8>worst perpetrators of colonialism.

0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.640
<v Speaker 4>So yeah, I feel like m maybe deal with that.

0:07:01.839 --> 0:07:02.840
<v Speaker 4>I wonder if people know that.

0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:08.400
<v Speaker 2>And after the slaves freed themselves in Haiti, the French

0:07:08.440 --> 0:07:11.760
<v Speaker 2>government told them, you know what, will give you your freedom,

0:07:11.760 --> 0:07:13.920
<v Speaker 2>but you're gonna have to pay us for all of

0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.720
<v Speaker 2>the freed slaves y'all had. So the Haitian government has

0:07:17.760 --> 0:07:21.120
<v Speaker 2>been paying France for freeing the slave, which is the

0:07:21.120 --> 0:07:24.160
<v Speaker 2>most asinine thing. But let's be honest, that happened here

0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.239
<v Speaker 2>in America. T Yeah, we never got reparations as a people,

0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.520
<v Speaker 2>but you know who did get reparations sharecroppers, they were

0:07:30.560 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 2>given the equivalent of during that time, it was twenty

0:07:33.920 --> 0:07:37.360
<v Speaker 2>five hundred dollars per slave that they let free right

0:07:37.600 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 2>and the slaves were given nothing, but the sharecroppers were

0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:45.520
<v Speaker 2>given money by the American government for releasing people as property.

0:07:45.640 --> 0:07:47.160
<v Speaker 2>So I just want to be clear as to why

0:07:47.200 --> 0:07:48.400
<v Speaker 2>we believe what we believe.

0:07:48.480 --> 0:07:51.240
<v Speaker 4>And these are not opinions, these are facts. You can

0:07:51.240 --> 0:07:51.640
<v Speaker 4>look it up.

0:07:51.680 --> 0:07:54.640
<v Speaker 2>Imagine what twenty five hundred per person would have done

0:07:54.680 --> 0:07:57.240
<v Speaker 2>for the black community in that time if you gave

0:07:57.440 --> 0:08:00.560
<v Speaker 2>every slave, not just forty eight was in a mule,

0:08:00.600 --> 0:08:02.560
<v Speaker 2>which was promised before it was taken away after the

0:08:02.600 --> 0:08:05.600
<v Speaker 2>assassination of Abraham Lincoln. Or give them twenty five hundred

0:08:05.680 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 2>dollars in that time in eighteen sixty three, imagine what

0:08:09.640 --> 0:08:10.800
<v Speaker 2>twenty five hundred dollars.

0:08:10.600 --> 0:08:11.040
<v Speaker 4>Would have done.

0:08:11.040 --> 0:08:13.240
<v Speaker 5>Twelve hundred dollars people got during COVID Was it the

0:08:13.240 --> 0:08:14.040
<v Speaker 5>similar checks.

0:08:14.120 --> 0:08:18.760
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, everybody was fighting over because the modern mortgage system

0:08:18.840 --> 0:08:24.000
<v Speaker 8>is based off of slavery, So that's where it comes from.

0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.840
<v Speaker 8>Slaves Enslaved people were kind of assigned an amount that

0:08:27.840 --> 0:08:31.120
<v Speaker 8>they were worth, and if you were a slave owner,

0:08:31.520 --> 0:08:35.440
<v Speaker 8>you could basically like take out a second mortgage on

0:08:35.679 --> 0:08:38.960
<v Speaker 8>a person. But if you think about it today, if

0:08:39.000 --> 0:08:42.240
<v Speaker 8>you default on your mortgage yep, and the bank takes

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:45.240
<v Speaker 8>your house, you don't get the money that you paid back.

0:08:45.800 --> 0:08:48.400
<v Speaker 4>You don't get anything. Batter the bank gets it.

0:08:48.480 --> 0:08:53.040
<v Speaker 8>So if as an enslaved person you were freed, the

0:08:53.160 --> 0:08:55.679
<v Speaker 8>slave owner no longer owns you, You own yourself. You should

0:08:55.679 --> 0:08:58.120
<v Speaker 8>get here to get the work. Hello, it seemed like

0:08:58.120 --> 0:08:58.680
<v Speaker 8>common sense.

0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:00.319
<v Speaker 3>Don't yeah happen?

0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:02.440
<v Speaker 1>Like if they could friends come.

0:09:02.360 --> 0:09:03.559
<v Speaker 2>Over, They're gonna have to deal with a bunch of

0:09:03.600 --> 0:09:05.560
<v Speaker 2>niggas that like going to the statual liberty.

0:09:05.559 --> 0:09:06.320
<v Speaker 1>But I have to take it.

0:09:07.840 --> 0:09:08.480
<v Speaker 4>With us.

0:09:08.720 --> 0:09:11.400
<v Speaker 8>It's getting really well. It's been concerning for black people.

0:09:11.520 --> 0:09:14.120
<v Speaker 8>I don't know that this moment in time is worse.

0:09:14.200 --> 0:09:18.080
<v Speaker 8>But uh, they did just rip up the Black Lives

0:09:18.120 --> 0:09:20.240
<v Speaker 8>Matter Street muror in d C.

0:09:21.800 --> 0:09:24.360
<v Speaker 7>On that it was time. It was dirty. You need

0:09:24.400 --> 0:09:26.160
<v Speaker 7>to if they're going to redo it, redo it. If

0:09:26.160 --> 0:09:27.800
<v Speaker 7>you're gonna get rid of it, get rid of it.

0:09:27.559 --> 0:09:28.160
<v Speaker 7>But it's time.

0:09:30.320 --> 0:09:32.440
<v Speaker 2>They're not going to redo it though, they're just pulling

0:09:32.480 --> 0:09:34.000
<v Speaker 2>it up for the sake of pulling it was time,

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:34.920
<v Speaker 2>you think, so.

0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:40.480
<v Speaker 6>My my opinion is it was it was it was

0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:44.839
<v Speaker 6>show place. I didn't mean anything taking up something that

0:09:45.480 --> 0:09:49.120
<v Speaker 6>benefit us, like it didn't benefits monetarily and he positions

0:09:49.120 --> 0:09:51.080
<v Speaker 6>a power or anything that it was. It was just

0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:53.439
<v Speaker 6>a show. You want to take your show back, take your.

0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:58.920
<v Speaker 7>Show performance performance, I feel like more than anything else,

0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:00.440
<v Speaker 7>and put a target on was back.

0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:02.560
<v Speaker 4>So that is true.

0:10:02.960 --> 0:10:06.160
<v Speaker 7>It did put a target with a people correct unattentionally.

0:10:06.240 --> 0:10:09.320
<v Speaker 6>Unattentionally, I think I think there were two things.

0:10:09.360 --> 0:10:11.520
<v Speaker 2>There was the movement and then there was the capitalist

0:10:11.559 --> 0:10:13.200
<v Speaker 2>side of it, you know what I'm saying. And I

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:16.120
<v Speaker 2>think a lot of people ran with the capitalist size

0:10:16.160 --> 0:10:18.480
<v Speaker 2>of it made it seem like BLM was a bad.

0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:19.640
<v Speaker 4>Thing, and realistically it wasn't.

0:10:20.000 --> 0:10:21.800
<v Speaker 2>And the fact that you have to put Black Lives

0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.800
<v Speaker 2>Matter on the street for people to understand that it's problematic.

0:10:25.679 --> 0:10:27.680
<v Speaker 5>We'll think about writing the book, like when you wrote

0:10:27.720 --> 0:10:31.080
<v Speaker 5>the book that was essentially our like a history lesson

0:10:31.559 --> 0:10:33.520
<v Speaker 5>that we wrote for the boys, right, we wrote for

0:10:33.559 --> 0:10:36.640
<v Speaker 5>the boys that listens to the time machine. Yeah, the

0:10:36.720 --> 0:10:38.959
<v Speaker 5>question the tagline is why do we have to say

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:41.160
<v Speaker 5>Black Lives matter? And that was because that was a

0:10:41.240 --> 0:10:43.800
<v Speaker 5>legitimate question that Jackson asked us at the time. So

0:10:43.880 --> 0:10:46.400
<v Speaker 5>it wasn't us trying to like capitalize on Black Lives

0:10:46.480 --> 0:10:48.840
<v Speaker 5>Matter's movement. It was just a genuine question that at

0:10:48.880 --> 0:10:51.200
<v Speaker 5>the time what nine year old asked us, and it

0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:53.360
<v Speaker 5>was like, all right, well, let's try to explain to

0:10:53.400 --> 0:10:57.360
<v Speaker 5>you some of the history, the actual real black history

0:10:57.880 --> 0:11:00.000
<v Speaker 5>around why we have to say it because people don't

0:11:00.040 --> 0:11:00.679
<v Speaker 5>recognize it.

0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.480
<v Speaker 4>I agree with Josh Man, it was performative.

0:11:03.880 --> 0:11:05.880
<v Speaker 2>I think that America does a good job of doing

0:11:05.880 --> 0:11:08.960
<v Speaker 2>performative based things to make us feel comfortable while on

0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:10.880
<v Speaker 2>the back end rolling back.

0:11:10.760 --> 0:11:12.440
<v Speaker 4>The things that are really supposed to help us.

0:11:12.440 --> 0:11:15.240
<v Speaker 2>For example, they made this big deal about pulling down

0:11:15.320 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 2>Confederate statues and shit while rolling back DEI like programs.

0:11:20.640 --> 0:11:22.520
<v Speaker 2>So it's like, oh, let's perform this, or they can

0:11:22.600 --> 0:11:23.920
<v Speaker 2>cheer while we do this.

0:11:25.280 --> 0:11:26.040
<v Speaker 1>If they get rid of.

0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:28.719
<v Speaker 2>The BLM thing, what I think is going to do

0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.720
<v Speaker 2>is let black people realize, like, yo, they not fucking

0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:33.720
<v Speaker 2>with us like that, because I think a lot of

0:11:33.800 --> 0:11:36.000
<v Speaker 2>us went to sleep. We fell asleep. If you notice,

0:11:36.400 --> 0:11:40.160
<v Speaker 2>during all of the administrations I talked about Reagan administration,

0:11:40.240 --> 0:11:44.120
<v Speaker 2>Bush administration, Trump administration, black people got stronger because the

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:48.960
<v Speaker 2>racism went from covert to overt and when it goes

0:11:48.960 --> 0:11:52.360
<v Speaker 2>from covert to overt, that's when we mobilize. But when

0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.200
<v Speaker 2>we have other figures in there who really don't fuck

0:11:55.200 --> 0:11:57.480
<v Speaker 2>with us neither, Like if we're being honest, bro, a

0:11:57.480 --> 0:11:59.439
<v Speaker 2>lot of people don't notice, but Joe Biden never fucked

0:11:59.440 --> 0:12:00.160
<v Speaker 2>with us like that.

0:12:00.200 --> 0:12:00.320
<v Speaker 4>Man.

0:12:00.400 --> 0:12:02.960
<v Speaker 2>Joe Biden wrote the ninety four crime bill he called

0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:06.720
<v Speaker 2>the super Predators. Right, he's a Democrat. The Democratic Party

0:12:06.800 --> 0:12:08.760
<v Speaker 2>is no longer what we thought it was going to be,

0:12:08.800 --> 0:12:10.400
<v Speaker 2>which was going to be the party of black people.

0:12:10.640 --> 0:12:13.559
<v Speaker 2>The Democratic Party just became a shit show, you know

0:12:13.600 --> 0:12:16.240
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying, And we lost the election because we

0:12:16.280 --> 0:12:19.520
<v Speaker 2>didn't really have a viable If we're being.

0:12:19.320 --> 0:12:22.240
<v Speaker 6>Honest, bigger problems with black people's.

0:12:21.640 --> 0:12:24.200
<v Speaker 2>And that's why the Democratic Party has a huge problem.

0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:26.320
<v Speaker 2>And it's not Black people, which means they're not going

0:12:26.360 --> 0:12:29.000
<v Speaker 2>to focus on us, yes, which means we have to

0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:32.480
<v Speaker 2>focus on us. And the Black Lives Matter being removed

0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:34.280
<v Speaker 2>is going to make us focus. That's what I think.

0:12:34.480 --> 0:12:37.439
<v Speaker 1>The more racist they get, the more focus we get.

0:12:37.520 --> 0:12:39.880
<v Speaker 5>Yeah, that's I mean, we've been pulling back our dollars

0:12:39.880 --> 0:12:42.160
<v Speaker 5>in certain areas and we're seeing the benefits facts.

0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:44.839
<v Speaker 7>We need more impactful protests instead of just words on

0:12:44.880 --> 0:12:46.640
<v Speaker 7>the street or in the back of the end zone,

0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:47.760
<v Speaker 7>because I don't think that really helps.

0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:50.800
<v Speaker 2>So we don't never we don't got to say stuff

0:12:50.800 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 2>all the time. Like remember the underground rail road was

0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.920
<v Speaker 2>the underground wrail world for a reason. If Harriet tell

0:12:56.960 --> 0:12:58.440
<v Speaker 2>Me would have got up there, it's journal truth and

0:12:58.440 --> 0:13:00.480
<v Speaker 2>we've been like, nah, Black Lives matter, we all leaving

0:13:00.520 --> 0:13:02.840
<v Speaker 2>at this time, it would have never happened. We have

0:13:02.960 --> 0:13:05.559
<v Speaker 2>to be justice covert. And when I mean covert, we

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.880
<v Speaker 2>don't have to be covert racist against them. We can

0:13:08.920 --> 0:13:11.720
<v Speaker 2>be covert in our development for our own people. And

0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:14.680
<v Speaker 2>it don't start with a statue or with words. So

0:13:14.720 --> 0:13:16.880
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, let's do let's build together, and we can

0:13:16.920 --> 0:13:19.120
<v Speaker 2>build without having to push other people down.

0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:20.000
<v Speaker 4>We just built ourselves.

0:13:20.000 --> 0:13:20.960
<v Speaker 1>That's how I feel about it.

0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 4>So they get rid of it, they get rid of it.

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:24.280
<v Speaker 4>I don't care.

0:13:24.679 --> 0:13:28.040
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I think you just maybe realize something though, because

0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:31.679
<v Speaker 8>during Joe Biden's presidency, I guess the last couple of years,

0:13:32.920 --> 0:13:36.520
<v Speaker 8>there was a big movement for Confederate symbols to be

0:13:36.559 --> 0:13:38.640
<v Speaker 8>taken down all over the United States, and I feel

0:13:38.679 --> 0:13:41.599
<v Speaker 8>like that's where this is coming from it's like backlash

0:13:41.760 --> 0:13:46.040
<v Speaker 8>to what white people consider Southern white people racists, white

0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.160
<v Speaker 8>people consider their culture and their right and now they're

0:13:49.200 --> 0:13:51.400
<v Speaker 8>trying to get back and the Black Lives Matter movement

0:13:51.400 --> 0:13:54.440
<v Speaker 8>I feel like did really create a lot of the

0:13:54.440 --> 0:13:57.719
<v Speaker 8>backlash that we're seeing right now from especially conservative white

0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:01.160
<v Speaker 8>people who just don't believe that racism is a thing

0:14:01.440 --> 0:14:04.400
<v Speaker 8>in America or that they have the right to or

0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:07.559
<v Speaker 8>that they really feel a sense of supremacy over anybody

0:14:07.600 --> 0:14:08.640
<v Speaker 8>that's not a white man.

0:14:08.800 --> 0:14:11.080
<v Speaker 1>And we can thank Mildred Rutherfood for that.

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:20.080
<v Speaker 2>All of these books, over all of these years.

0:14:18.760 --> 0:14:19.480
<v Speaker 4>Still exists.

0:14:19.720 --> 0:14:22.640
<v Speaker 2>Yes, the u DC, the United Daughters of the Confederacy

0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:23.400
<v Speaker 2>still exists.

0:14:23.400 --> 0:14:23.680
<v Speaker 8>Wow.

0:14:23.760 --> 0:14:26.680
<v Speaker 2>And it's because of that education on mis education is

0:14:26.720 --> 0:14:30.120
<v Speaker 2>why these emboldened white nationalists feel they can do the

0:14:30.200 --> 0:14:30.600
<v Speaker 2>things that.

0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.880
<v Speaker 5>They do about y'all ever met a baby named Mildred?

0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:38.640
<v Speaker 5>You only meet a Mildred when she owed me think.

0:14:38.920 --> 0:14:41.520
<v Speaker 4>Mildred does sound like something that Jamaican baby would be.

0:14:41.600 --> 0:14:47.080
<v Speaker 5>Next Mildred, my Mildred, Doris Thelma, but.

0:14:50.920 --> 0:14:52.040
<v Speaker 1>Barbara Thelma?

0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:56.680
<v Speaker 7>Yeah, ye sorry, Ed is one of them.

0:14:59.360 --> 0:15:00.000
<v Speaker 3>Absolutely.

0:15:00.080 --> 0:15:02.520
<v Speaker 5>I've never seen a young and those are names that

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:04.600
<v Speaker 5>haven't come back like some names come back that.

0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:06.360
<v Speaker 3>I haven't seen a baby named Doris.

0:15:06.400 --> 0:15:08.840
<v Speaker 6>I think I think that Joshua name is dying. I

0:15:08.880 --> 0:15:09.920
<v Speaker 6>don't see no little kid.

0:15:10.160 --> 0:15:11.080
<v Speaker 4>There's no Joshua.

0:15:11.480 --> 0:15:13.040
<v Speaker 7>We know matt Ellis is not dying.

0:15:13.840 --> 0:15:17.640
<v Speaker 2>There's a lot of matt Ellis's. Daval never lived for.

0:15:17.640 --> 0:15:19.440
<v Speaker 4>It to die. I'm the only person I know what

0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:20.560
<v Speaker 4>my name other than my.

0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:22.800
<v Speaker 3>Pops, right, and a baby named after you.

0:15:22.880 --> 0:15:24.080
<v Speaker 4>I do have one baby.

0:15:24.560 --> 0:15:29.360
<v Speaker 3>It's a baby named kade in Trinidad. Oh really yeah, wow, yeah,

0:15:29.440 --> 0:15:29.880
<v Speaker 3>look at.

0:15:29.760 --> 0:15:32.880
<v Speaker 4>That you're telling people my name is Kadeen.

0:15:33.240 --> 0:15:34.000
<v Speaker 3>I love that for you.

0:15:34.120 --> 0:15:34.600
<v Speaker 7>I believe you.

0:15:35.320 --> 0:15:37.440
<v Speaker 4>We believe you've got a great name.

0:15:37.480 --> 0:15:40.359
<v Speaker 2>Bro bbl triple is.

0:15:40.400 --> 0:15:41.640
<v Speaker 1>That's not going anywhere.

0:15:42.000 --> 0:15:42.560
<v Speaker 3>Not common.

0:15:42.680 --> 0:15:44.680
<v Speaker 5>I feel like there's been an influx of Cairo since

0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:47.120
<v Speaker 5>our Cairo. I feel like I see Cairo everywhere now

0:15:47.160 --> 0:15:49.040
<v Speaker 5>my baby named Cairo. I have seen a lot of

0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:50.280
<v Speaker 5>influx of Cairo's.

0:15:50.360 --> 0:15:51.840
<v Speaker 2>You know what, You're not going to see a lot

0:15:51.840 --> 0:15:54.680
<v Speaker 2>of what, but we so we grew up seeing shanik

0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 2>Was and Keisha's when we was growing up, there was

0:15:57.800 --> 0:15:59.560
<v Speaker 2>a lot of Keisha's Aisha Letitia.

0:15:59.640 --> 0:16:02.400
<v Speaker 6>Then I'm probably mad at that I actually like those

0:16:02.480 --> 0:16:04.600
<v Speaker 6>names because you grew up with it. No, I like

0:16:04.680 --> 0:16:07.680
<v Speaker 6>those names for the symbolism. It is like we don't

0:16:07.720 --> 0:16:12.240
<v Speaker 6>have our own names, like that year, you gotta old, Lou,

0:16:12.320 --> 0:16:18.280
<v Speaker 6>you gotta got, So that's on their side for Black Americans,

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:24.600
<v Speaker 6>we like. Although some of those names came off as

0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:27.040
<v Speaker 6>like ghetto names like Boom, Cueisha and all that, it

0:16:27.120 --> 0:16:29.760
<v Speaker 6>was like the ghetto names, the reality is those were

0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:35.160
<v Speaker 6>the American, the Black American culture names. For that is

0:16:35.200 --> 0:16:37.600
<v Speaker 6>a fact I enjoyed having our own.

0:16:38.200 --> 0:16:40.480
<v Speaker 8>I went to elementary school with a kid named e

0:16:40.600 --> 0:16:43.400
<v Speaker 8>Quavers and he was a bully and he was kind

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:46.560
<v Speaker 8>of chubby, so I used to call him Equavers because

0:16:46.560 --> 0:16:47.720
<v Speaker 8>that sound fat.

0:16:49.640 --> 0:16:50.600
<v Speaker 7>You was all.

0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:54.480
<v Speaker 4>The bully.

0:16:55.720 --> 0:16:56.360
<v Speaker 1>Story around.

0:16:57.600 --> 0:16:59.080
<v Speaker 2>I used to make fun of him because he was

0:17:00.160 --> 0:17:02.240
<v Speaker 2>a minute famous, was me bro.

0:17:02.800 --> 0:17:06.040
<v Speaker 3>He deserved it, I'm sure, because he had that name

0:17:06.480 --> 0:17:20.320
<v Speaker 3>and people like sounds like something of sorry. I took

0:17:20.359 --> 0:17:21.479
<v Speaker 3>us all the way on the top of ya.

0:17:21.920 --> 0:17:25.439
<v Speaker 2>It's just fine thinking about politics, thinking about politics and

0:17:25.440 --> 0:17:27.520
<v Speaker 2>being black in America. I forgot who said it, But

0:17:28.160 --> 0:17:31.240
<v Speaker 2>being black and conscious in America is being in a

0:17:31.280 --> 0:17:32.639
<v Speaker 2>constant state of anger.

0:17:33.119 --> 0:17:33.920
<v Speaker 1>I forgot who said it.

0:17:33.960 --> 0:17:41.040
<v Speaker 4>I think it was that was No, it was James Baldwin.

0:17:41.359 --> 0:17:44.800
<v Speaker 4>James Baldwins. This series his centennial.

0:17:44.840 --> 0:17:47.200
<v Speaker 8>We have a we share a birthday, August second, it

0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:48.480
<v Speaker 8>is his one hundredth birthday.

0:17:49.000 --> 0:17:52.840
<v Speaker 4>So if you don't know who James Baldwin is, go find.

0:17:52.600 --> 0:17:56.120
<v Speaker 2>Out that that statement means so much though, because even

0:17:56.280 --> 0:18:00.359
<v Speaker 2>as I continue to ascend in life, what we all

0:18:00.520 --> 0:18:03.320
<v Speaker 2>see that you you find yourself in spaces that are

0:18:03.400 --> 0:18:03.960
<v Speaker 2>less black.

0:18:04.800 --> 0:18:07.479
<v Speaker 4>And they always ask that question. Wait, wait, I'm so angry.

0:18:09.400 --> 0:18:10.600
<v Speaker 1>I fucking hate that question.

0:18:10.640 --> 0:18:10.800
<v Speaker 5>Bro.

0:18:11.040 --> 0:18:13.680
<v Speaker 2>It's like the minute we get cool and we sit

0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:15.440
<v Speaker 2>down and they start to realize that the valor is

0:18:15.480 --> 0:18:18.560
<v Speaker 2>relaxing a little bit. I always get that question, you know,

0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:21.239
<v Speaker 2>that's a question that sound that's a question you know,

0:18:21.640 --> 0:18:23.600
<v Speaker 2>like I got. I got it trying to black friends

0:18:23.600 --> 0:18:29.560
<v Speaker 2>and I just want to know you know what, and

0:18:29.600 --> 0:18:32.800
<v Speaker 2>I'll be like, oh.

0:18:32.760 --> 0:18:34.919
<v Speaker 4>Because y'all know me, y'all know me.

0:18:35.520 --> 0:18:37.399
<v Speaker 3>I said, that leans forward.

0:18:37.560 --> 0:18:39.640
<v Speaker 1>Well, this is how it always goes.

0:18:39.680 --> 0:18:41.840
<v Speaker 4>I said, well, where do you want me to start?

0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:44.879
<v Speaker 2>And most of the time, at the end of the conversation,

0:18:45.359 --> 0:18:49.199
<v Speaker 2>I realized how so many white people do not know

0:18:49.280 --> 0:18:51.560
<v Speaker 2>American history like at all.

0:18:52.280 --> 0:18:54.560
<v Speaker 4>And then when I explain to them American history.

0:18:55.080 --> 0:19:00.520
<v Speaker 2>That's when they're just like, oh, white people don't know

0:19:00.520 --> 0:19:03.359
<v Speaker 2>about redlining, black holes, the Vagrancy Act.

0:19:03.720 --> 0:19:06.400
<v Speaker 4>They don't know about this stuff because it's not taught and.

0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:08.280
<v Speaker 3>It's never affected them, you know what I'm saying.

0:19:08.720 --> 0:19:10.879
<v Speaker 2>Like they when I start bringing those things and they

0:19:10.920 --> 0:19:14.360
<v Speaker 2>say this that really really that was really going on,

0:19:15.160 --> 0:19:19.000
<v Speaker 2>was really goal, It's yeah, still we're still voter suppression

0:19:19.119 --> 0:19:24.919
<v Speaker 2>still goes on today like today, and they're just like, oh, yes,

0:19:24.960 --> 0:19:25.520
<v Speaker 2>it's not fair.

0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:27.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm like, no, ship.

0:19:28.160 --> 0:19:31.359
<v Speaker 8>There's a really great uh the last season of Curb

0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:37.080
<v Speaker 8>Your Enthusiasm, there's a running storyline where Larry David is

0:19:37.080 --> 0:19:40.359
<v Speaker 8>in Atlanta and he sees somebody he knows voting, and

0:19:40.400 --> 0:19:43.280
<v Speaker 8>so he gives her a bottle of water. Apparently it

0:19:43.400 --> 0:19:47.440
<v Speaker 8>is illegal to have water if you're waiting in line

0:19:47.440 --> 0:19:52.560
<v Speaker 8>to vote in Georgia. Yes, yes, And so he has

0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:54.840
<v Speaker 8>to go through this whole court process because he gets

0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:57.040
<v Speaker 8>arrested and he's getting.

0:19:56.800 --> 0:20:01.160
<v Speaker 4>Charged with a crime. When did that come on this year?

0:20:01.240 --> 0:20:02.000
<v Speaker 4>Twenty twenty four?

0:20:02.520 --> 0:20:05.640
<v Speaker 2>When the episode came out last year, always said, because

0:20:05.640 --> 0:20:08.919
<v Speaker 2>you know that happened here in Georgia during the election,

0:20:09.000 --> 0:20:11.879
<v Speaker 2>people were handing out food and water to people who

0:20:11.880 --> 0:20:13.439
<v Speaker 2>were online and getting in trouble.

0:20:13.560 --> 0:20:16.960
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, I swear it just seemed.

0:20:16.680 --> 0:20:19.439
<v Speaker 5>They want to make it in an uncomfortable situation. Absolutely,

0:20:19.760 --> 0:20:24.200
<v Speaker 5>we don't want to discourage. Yeah, of course, it's funny

0:20:24.200 --> 0:20:27.719
<v Speaker 5>when you mentioned, uh, you know, when your white counterparts,

0:20:27.800 --> 0:20:28.879
<v Speaker 5>you know, asked these questions.

0:20:28.880 --> 0:20:31.800
<v Speaker 3>But Sterling K. Brown. I was just watching a clip

0:20:31.840 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 3>from his podcast with his wife. I think it's called.

0:20:34.359 --> 0:20:39.280
<v Speaker 5>We Yeah, we don't always agree, and he was talking

0:20:39.280 --> 0:20:42.160
<v Speaker 5>about his experience on set where he had a white

0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:47.440
<v Speaker 5>counterpart that must have been reacting reacting, was angry about something,

0:20:47.480 --> 0:20:49.120
<v Speaker 5>and he said he kind of, you know, peeked out,

0:20:49.160 --> 0:20:51.320
<v Speaker 5>and we're just like hmmm, and he was just like, man,

0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:51.800
<v Speaker 5>if I.

0:20:51.960 --> 0:20:55.159
<v Speaker 2>Remember what he said, they coded it as they coded

0:20:55.200 --> 0:20:56.160
<v Speaker 2>as passionate.

0:20:56.320 --> 0:20:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, you know, he was passionate.

0:20:58.280 --> 0:21:00.000
<v Speaker 4>In his anger, right exactly.

0:21:00.280 --> 0:21:03.760
<v Speaker 5>But then of course he said, if I were to

0:21:03.800 --> 0:21:06.320
<v Speaker 5>perform in the same way and be as passionate, it

0:21:06.359 --> 0:21:08.760
<v Speaker 5>would not be received the same way. And it's just

0:21:08.800 --> 0:21:12.040
<v Speaker 5>that it doesn't matter where or what avenue, what job,

0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:15.960
<v Speaker 5>what realm you're in, it's always going to be seen

0:21:16.119 --> 0:21:18.280
<v Speaker 5>as the disgruntled black person.

0:21:18.440 --> 0:21:20.679
<v Speaker 4>Let me ask you a question, right, well, do you

0:21:20.720 --> 0:21:24.640
<v Speaker 4>have one more for us? Or yeah, will go back.

0:21:24.800 --> 0:21:26.120
<v Speaker 4>Even though we're kind of already on the topic.

0:21:27.600 --> 0:21:31.159
<v Speaker 8>I have been watching social media a lot around this

0:21:31.240 --> 0:21:34.320
<v Speaker 8>topic because I am one to say black people should

0:21:34.440 --> 0:21:37.439
<v Speaker 8>be politically involved and politically aware. We cannot afford to

0:21:37.440 --> 0:21:39.879
<v Speaker 8>be a political because we are affected the most. I

0:21:40.000 --> 0:21:44.040
<v Speaker 8>did change, but I did see a post on threads

0:21:44.200 --> 0:21:47.960
<v Speaker 8>that was like them, why why y'all not marching, and

0:21:48.000 --> 0:21:51.000
<v Speaker 8>it's aid us we are. And it's a video of

0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:53.960
<v Speaker 8>a bunch of black people doing the line dance, wear

0:21:54.000 --> 0:21:55.359
<v Speaker 8>them fans.

0:21:57.000 --> 0:22:01.320
<v Speaker 4>So I've just learned it and new line dances out.

0:22:01.680 --> 0:22:04.600
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and I know that some people are behind learning

0:22:04.640 --> 0:22:06.719
<v Speaker 8>your Tamia dance and you need to get on your

0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:08.040
<v Speaker 8>zoom honey.

0:22:08.080 --> 0:22:10.040
<v Speaker 3>Get on the to me a dance, because they've moved on.

0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:12.879
<v Speaker 4>Yes, they've moved on left beyond.

0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:14.720
<v Speaker 5>Because you have to get bank that one, the same

0:22:14.760 --> 0:22:16.600
<v Speaker 5>way you have the electric slide, the Cha cha slide,

0:22:16.640 --> 0:22:19.320
<v Speaker 5>the wobble, all of those cupa shuffle. You got a

0:22:19.359 --> 0:22:21.080
<v Speaker 5>bank to me and now to learn the next two.

0:22:21.240 --> 0:22:27.480
<v Speaker 8>And they're playing them in succession.

0:22:25.119 --> 0:22:28.639
<v Speaker 5>In succession now, So it's a marathon of line dancing

0:22:28.720 --> 0:22:30.520
<v Speaker 5>y'all won't be won't be none.

0:22:30.400 --> 0:22:31.720
<v Speaker 4>Of them get on your.

0:22:33.840 --> 0:22:36.240
<v Speaker 8>Especially if you're going to be at Cowboy Carter this summer.

0:22:36.240 --> 0:22:37.600
<v Speaker 8>I think you need to know the boots on the

0:22:37.640 --> 0:22:42.480
<v Speaker 8>ground period. Country's I would like to know what do

0:22:42.520 --> 0:22:45.960
<v Speaker 8>you think about that? Like, uh, black people putting their

0:22:46.080 --> 0:22:49.520
<v Speaker 8>joy or using their joy as resistance? A lot of

0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:52.680
<v Speaker 8>black people, I think are saying after the My point

0:22:52.760 --> 0:22:53.879
<v Speaker 8>was after during the election.

0:22:53.960 --> 0:22:56.320
<v Speaker 4>After the election, black people felt kind of betrayed.

0:22:56.400 --> 0:22:59.960
<v Speaker 8>A black woman ran for president and they literally elect

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:02.320
<v Speaker 8>did somebody a fascist?

0:23:02.400 --> 0:23:04.280
<v Speaker 4>Let me ask somebody who wants to be a dictator?

0:23:04.320 --> 0:23:06.600
<v Speaker 4>Did she really run for president? Or was she?

0:23:06.720 --> 0:23:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Because to me, I think that this was fucked up

0:23:08.640 --> 0:23:11.199
<v Speaker 2>what they did to her, to be honest, because if

0:23:11.280 --> 0:23:13.000
<v Speaker 2>we if she was really going to be allowed to

0:23:13.160 --> 0:23:16.119
<v Speaker 2>run for president, they would have given her the nod

0:23:16.280 --> 0:23:19.080
<v Speaker 2>before at the Democratic Convention, so she would have had

0:23:19.080 --> 0:23:19.800
<v Speaker 2>the runway to.

0:23:21.680 --> 0:23:22.240
<v Speaker 1>And do things.

0:23:22.320 --> 0:23:24.720
<v Speaker 4>They came in the last minute because the white man

0:23:24.720 --> 0:23:25.440
<v Speaker 4>that they thought.

0:23:25.280 --> 0:23:27.040
<v Speaker 2>Was going to be able to last for the last

0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:30.160
<v Speaker 2>four years started to slowly lose his mind.

0:23:30.240 --> 0:23:33.439
<v Speaker 8>And now the narrative that they're putting out there is

0:23:33.480 --> 0:23:37.840
<v Speaker 8>that he was pushed out of running that they forced

0:23:37.920 --> 0:23:40.960
<v Speaker 8>him out of running for president so that she could run,

0:23:41.000 --> 0:23:43.159
<v Speaker 8>and not that they forced her into running.

0:23:43.400 --> 0:23:46.560
<v Speaker 4>Whose they they, whatever the powers that be, And let's

0:23:46.640 --> 0:23:49.159
<v Speaker 4>let's let's really think about this for us.

0:23:49.480 --> 0:23:54.560
<v Speaker 2>At what moment in a world history did anyone ever.

0:23:54.480 --> 0:23:55.760
<v Speaker 4>Say, you know what, we're gonna get rid of this

0:23:55.800 --> 0:23:57.639
<v Speaker 4>white man and bring this black woman in.

0:23:57.720 --> 0:24:00.760
<v Speaker 3>That's right, Come on, this is what black people.

0:24:00.800 --> 0:24:03.399
<v Speaker 2>Choosing joy That don't even sound like something I'm going

0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:05.680
<v Speaker 2>to debate about, not going to debate about why.

0:24:06.080 --> 0:24:07.679
<v Speaker 1>I'm not like, there's no way.

0:24:07.520 --> 0:24:09.760
<v Speaker 5>But my opinion is yes, if that's where you find

0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:13.000
<v Speaker 5>your joy. If your joy is not debating over the

0:24:13.000 --> 0:24:16.639
<v Speaker 5>water ruler about nonsense and politics, because you want to

0:24:16.720 --> 0:24:20.480
<v Speaker 5>preserve your joy, Ladies and gentlemen, my fellow brothers and sisters,

0:24:20.520 --> 0:24:24.359
<v Speaker 5>don't do that shit. Find your joy within your community

0:24:24.480 --> 0:24:27.560
<v Speaker 5>of people, your circle of friends, your line dances.

0:24:27.800 --> 0:24:30.880
<v Speaker 3>If it's cowboy Carter tour, I'll see you there.

0:24:31.160 --> 0:24:33.440
<v Speaker 4>If it means oh we got a cowboy, I knew

0:24:33.480 --> 0:24:35.280
<v Speaker 4>it was going to come back to this. Find your joy,

0:24:35.359 --> 0:24:35.800
<v Speaker 4>I knew it.

0:24:36.280 --> 0:24:41.000
<v Speaker 3>I don't find your joy where it exists and your pockets.

0:24:41.040 --> 0:24:42.399
<v Speaker 3>Find your tribe of people.

0:24:42.720 --> 0:24:43.240
<v Speaker 4>With that.

0:24:44.920 --> 0:24:46.080
<v Speaker 1>Nation build within your people.

0:24:46.119 --> 0:24:46.520
<v Speaker 4>Agree with that.

0:24:46.840 --> 0:24:50.879
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, let's get back to like gathering and having functions

0:24:50.960 --> 0:24:53.520
<v Speaker 3>and caring for each other.

0:24:53.640 --> 0:24:56.119
<v Speaker 2>Let me ask you a question, guys, because I'd be

0:24:56.160 --> 0:25:03.320
<v Speaker 2>struggling with stuff. I do not blame current white Americans

0:25:03.760 --> 0:25:06.400
<v Speaker 2>for where we are in America.

0:25:06.520 --> 0:25:06.920
<v Speaker 4>I don't.

0:25:07.480 --> 0:25:10.760
<v Speaker 2>The reason why is because I feel like the racism

0:25:10.800 --> 0:25:14.080
<v Speaker 2>we experience now, although there are some overt racists who

0:25:14.119 --> 0:25:16.439
<v Speaker 2>still call you a nigga, right, but those people are

0:25:16.480 --> 0:25:19.040
<v Speaker 2>still few and far in between. Most of the racism

0:25:19.080 --> 0:25:23.560
<v Speaker 2>we see as millennials, and yeah, we're all millennials, is

0:25:23.600 --> 0:25:27.760
<v Speaker 2>the systemic racism that people don't understand. And that's where

0:25:27.760 --> 0:25:29.840
<v Speaker 2>I think we have to do a better job, as

0:25:29.880 --> 0:25:32.959
<v Speaker 2>people love color, all of us being black, of explaining

0:25:33.040 --> 0:25:36.800
<v Speaker 2>that to some of our white counterparts, rather than just saying, oh,

0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:40.639
<v Speaker 2>everybody racist. I honestly don't feel that everybody is racist.

0:25:41.160 --> 0:25:45.240
<v Speaker 2>I do feel that people are miss informed and uneducated,

0:25:45.560 --> 0:25:50.119
<v Speaker 2>and rather than argue with them about their racism, just explain.

0:25:49.840 --> 0:25:55.600
<v Speaker 4>To them history. Miseducated, yes, and more miseducated than others.

0:25:56.200 --> 0:26:00.480
<v Speaker 2>Because I just saw a meme and it wasn't really

0:26:00.520 --> 0:26:04.400
<v Speaker 2>a meme, it was more facts Oklahoma. The state of Oklahoma, right,

0:26:05.000 --> 0:26:11.640
<v Speaker 2>red state, overwhelmingly red state. When it comes to education, literacy, wealth,

0:26:11.920 --> 0:26:16.040
<v Speaker 2>they're all bottom three in America, right, And there's a

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:17.200
<v Speaker 2>reason why.

0:26:17.280 --> 0:26:18.040
<v Speaker 4>If you keep.

0:26:17.880 --> 0:26:22.680
<v Speaker 2>People mis educated and uneducated, it's easily to do what control.

0:26:23.280 --> 0:26:25.320
<v Speaker 2>But then you go to a place like New Hampshire, right,

0:26:25.680 --> 0:26:30.840
<v Speaker 2>and main top two in everything but also education, and

0:26:30.880 --> 0:26:33.920
<v Speaker 2>they're both blue states. So our issue now is that

0:26:34.040 --> 0:26:36.440
<v Speaker 2>we're fighting against white people who just hate black people.

0:26:36.520 --> 0:26:40.280
<v Speaker 2>We're fighting against people who are really miseducated and uneducated.

0:26:40.280 --> 0:26:41.000
<v Speaker 1>And here's the truth.

0:26:41.040 --> 0:26:43.120
<v Speaker 2>It ain't only white people, because there are a lot

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:46.159
<v Speaker 2>of miseducated and uneducated black people. And I watched it

0:26:46.200 --> 0:26:50.160
<v Speaker 2>in this election cycle. I watch people our age who

0:26:50.160 --> 0:26:52.560
<v Speaker 2>look just like us, say things and do things that

0:26:52.640 --> 0:26:56.840
<v Speaker 2>I'm like, yo, you have no idea what you're talking about.

0:26:56.840 --> 0:27:00.720
<v Speaker 2>And those are the people who voted for Trump. Because overwhelmingly,

0:27:01.280 --> 0:27:03.840
<v Speaker 2>outside of what people think, people think like, oh, we

0:27:03.840 --> 0:27:06.360
<v Speaker 2>were split on voting for Trump black people, we were

0:27:06.400 --> 0:27:11.080
<v Speaker 2>not split. The overwhelming majority of black people voted for Kamala,

0:27:11.520 --> 0:27:14.080
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying. But the people who didn't

0:27:14.200 --> 0:27:16.360
<v Speaker 2>vote for Kamala and voted for Trump or didn't vote

0:27:16.359 --> 0:27:18.639
<v Speaker 2>at all or didn't vote at all, voted because they

0:27:18.680 --> 0:27:21.239
<v Speaker 2>weren't informed about everything that was going to affect us.

0:27:21.280 --> 0:27:24.080
<v Speaker 2>And now we see people, not only black people, white

0:27:24.080 --> 0:27:28.920
<v Speaker 2>people upset. I watched on the news the firefighters from

0:27:29.680 --> 0:27:32.240
<v Speaker 2>nine to eleven and the police officers fro nine eleven

0:27:32.520 --> 0:27:37.800
<v Speaker 2>are pissed. All white Italian, Irish German men right who

0:27:37.800 --> 0:27:41.119
<v Speaker 2>mostly voted for Trump are pissed now because the Trump

0:27:41.119 --> 0:27:45.640
<v Speaker 2>administration voted to get rid of Medicare and Medicaid for

0:27:46.280 --> 0:27:47.840
<v Speaker 2>survivors of nine to eleven.

0:27:48.760 --> 0:27:50.080
<v Speaker 1>So now they all pissed.

0:27:50.760 --> 0:27:53.160
<v Speaker 2>And I'm just like, hey, guys, if you were educated

0:27:53.320 --> 0:27:55.879
<v Speaker 2>on what you were talking about, you would have voted

0:27:55.880 --> 0:27:58.960
<v Speaker 2>for someone who wouldn't take your liberties away. And that's

0:27:59.000 --> 0:28:03.119
<v Speaker 2>why I no longer to blame like our contemporaries of

0:28:03.160 --> 0:28:05.240
<v Speaker 2>white people for the state of white America.

0:28:05.359 --> 0:28:06.520
<v Speaker 1>It goes way deeper than that.

0:28:06.560 --> 0:28:08.040
<v Speaker 2>And I just want to know what y'all think about that,

0:28:08.119 --> 0:28:10.240
<v Speaker 2>because I don't look at the white person calls me,

0:28:10.320 --> 0:28:13.040
<v Speaker 2>be like you just racist, your parents had slaves.

0:28:13.040 --> 0:28:14.600
<v Speaker 4>I don't. I don't look at it like that.

0:28:14.960 --> 0:28:16.960
<v Speaker 5>I think there's a couple of people, well, from what

0:28:17.000 --> 0:28:20.240
<v Speaker 5>I've observed from a distance people who I've done business

0:28:20.240 --> 0:28:22.040
<v Speaker 5>within the past, or former clients when I was a

0:28:22.040 --> 0:28:25.000
<v Speaker 5>makeup artist, and some of them have voted openly and

0:28:25.040 --> 0:28:27.560
<v Speaker 5>will say that they voted for Trump. And I know

0:28:27.680 --> 0:28:31.080
<v Speaker 5>that one in particular was very much in favor of

0:28:31.200 --> 0:28:34.119
<v Speaker 5>Trump because Trump was now going to go back to

0:28:34.200 --> 0:28:40.080
<v Speaker 5>there being only two genders. Voted and she was like,

0:28:40.160 --> 0:28:42.560
<v Speaker 5>I'm raising children now. She think she has like three

0:28:42.600 --> 0:28:44.960
<v Speaker 5>or four kids, and she's like, and that's the big

0:28:45.040 --> 0:28:47.280
<v Speaker 5>that was her biggest arguing point, Like she wants to

0:28:47.400 --> 0:28:48.960
<v Speaker 5>be in a world where her daughter can go to

0:28:48.960 --> 0:28:51.600
<v Speaker 5>the bathroom and I have to worry about other people

0:28:51.640 --> 0:28:52.240
<v Speaker 5>being in there.

0:28:52.520 --> 0:28:55.800
<v Speaker 8>But she can't right now, whether there's two genders or not,

0:28:56.000 --> 0:28:58.360
<v Speaker 8>as long as there's a man on the planet, you

0:28:58.400 --> 0:29:01.000
<v Speaker 8>can't go send your daughter to the bathroom exactly.

0:29:01.520 --> 0:29:05.360
<v Speaker 5>So then she's the same person now crying.

0:29:04.960 --> 0:29:07.720
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying it's the truth, though, but you see what

0:29:07.720 --> 0:29:08.600
<v Speaker 4>I'm saying about.

0:29:08.600 --> 0:29:11.600
<v Speaker 5>Just like the one thing that she kept harping on.

0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:14.480
<v Speaker 5>But then now she's the same person crying because her

0:29:14.480 --> 0:29:17.960
<v Speaker 5>mom was let go from her job because of d E. I.

0:29:19.520 --> 0:29:20.280
<v Speaker 3>Because of d E.

0:29:20.440 --> 0:29:24.840
<v Speaker 5>I rollbacks a white woman who was in her job,

0:29:25.760 --> 0:29:28.520
<v Speaker 5>you know, and now she's a job anymore.

0:29:28.560 --> 0:29:30.240
<v Speaker 3>And it's just like, now you want to be upset

0:29:30.280 --> 0:29:34.160
<v Speaker 3>about that? So what what exactly are these people.

0:29:33.920 --> 0:29:36.520
<v Speaker 5>Who voted for him? Like, what was your like your

0:29:36.600 --> 0:29:38.960
<v Speaker 5>driving force? That's what I really want to understand.

0:29:39.000 --> 0:29:40.440
<v Speaker 4>Because me and Matt talked about it.

0:29:40.720 --> 0:29:44.600
<v Speaker 2>We're sitting here watching NBA games and a commercial comes

0:29:44.640 --> 0:29:48.160
<v Speaker 2>on and it says Trump Now it says Kamala, she

0:29:48.360 --> 0:29:50.560
<v Speaker 2>is for they them, Trump is for you.

0:29:51.240 --> 0:29:52.080
<v Speaker 1>Fear bongering.

0:29:52.600 --> 0:29:55.960
<v Speaker 2>And it used to come on every Sunday minutes, bro,

0:29:56.600 --> 0:29:57.720
<v Speaker 2>and me and me and Matt used to.

0:29:57.680 --> 0:30:00.160
<v Speaker 1>Be laughing look at this like it's like how.

0:30:00.040 --> 0:30:05.000
<v Speaker 7>Crazy liberal liberal commalis for commalass something like that, Trump

0:30:05.040 --> 0:30:07.840
<v Speaker 7>is for you? That's around there, And I was.

0:30:07.800 --> 0:30:08.680
<v Speaker 4>Like, but that's fear.

0:30:10.200 --> 0:30:14.280
<v Speaker 6>When when did the president control genders? That's like at

0:30:14.280 --> 0:30:19.520
<v Speaker 6>one of history did anybody think that Trump or Biden

0:30:19.880 --> 0:30:23.440
<v Speaker 6>can set genders in place? How is that the point that?

0:30:23.520 --> 0:30:24.960
<v Speaker 6>How is that the hell you're dying on?

0:30:25.480 --> 0:30:29.520
<v Speaker 8>And if you believe that, you know, you can only

0:30:29.600 --> 0:30:32.240
<v Speaker 8>be born as male or female, you can't change it,

0:30:32.280 --> 0:30:34.520
<v Speaker 8>then why would you think the president can change it?

0:30:34.760 --> 0:30:35.880
<v Speaker 1>That is a good point.

0:30:36.640 --> 0:30:42.960
<v Speaker 3>That's not considering everything, like they hold on to one

0:30:43.200 --> 0:30:45.840
<v Speaker 3>point that they feel like is in favor of what

0:30:45.880 --> 0:30:49.240
<v Speaker 3>they believe. And then also it's also when you when

0:30:49.280 --> 0:30:52.120
<v Speaker 3>you vote, thinking it's not going to affect you and

0:30:52.160 --> 0:30:52.719
<v Speaker 3>your people.

0:30:53.160 --> 0:30:57.600
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, like I'm stropping away somebody else's liberty to choose

0:30:58.040 --> 0:30:59.600
<v Speaker 8>how they want to dress, if they want to wear

0:31:00.120 --> 0:31:04.720
<v Speaker 8>or not, but it's not gonna affect me, so until

0:31:04.720 --> 0:31:05.880
<v Speaker 8>that boom comes back.

0:31:06.000 --> 0:31:07.720
<v Speaker 1>It's also the lies I had to do.

0:31:07.840 --> 0:31:09.560
<v Speaker 2>Tell me he only votes for Trump, he's a black

0:31:09.640 --> 0:31:11.720
<v Speaker 2>dude to the only voted for Trump because he's a

0:31:11.840 --> 0:31:14.640
<v Speaker 2>very successful businessman. And I was he was just like,

0:31:14.880 --> 0:31:16.320
<v Speaker 2>here's what he said to me. He's like, man, Trump

0:31:16.400 --> 0:31:18.760
<v Speaker 2>started from nothing and he's now worth like a billion dollars.

0:31:19.120 --> 0:31:22.239
<v Speaker 2>And I said, who started from nothing? I said, did

0:31:22.240 --> 0:31:24.560
<v Speaker 2>you miss the whole clip about him being clown saying

0:31:24.560 --> 0:31:27.320
<v Speaker 2>that I started from the bottom. My father gave me

0:31:27.400 --> 0:31:30.240
<v Speaker 2>a small million dollar loan? Did you forget about that?

0:31:30.320 --> 0:31:32.040
<v Speaker 2>And he was just like I didn't. I said, that's

0:31:32.040 --> 0:31:34.280
<v Speaker 2>the point. You didn't hear. You didn't try to look

0:31:34.320 --> 0:31:37.280
<v Speaker 2>for it research. I said, you know many time's Trump

0:31:37.360 --> 0:31:42.200
<v Speaker 2>went bankrupt? Yeah, he said, Trump's been bankrupt But that's

0:31:42.200 --> 0:31:45.000
<v Speaker 2>my point though, right, like I can't I start to

0:31:45.040 --> 0:31:47.320
<v Speaker 2>have empathy for people, and I may be wrong and

0:31:47.320 --> 0:31:48.680
<v Speaker 2>people are gonna be upset at me, but I have

0:31:48.720 --> 0:31:50.000
<v Speaker 2>empathy for racists.

0:31:50.360 --> 0:31:51.600
<v Speaker 4>I have empathy for racists.

0:31:51.600 --> 0:31:53.400
<v Speaker 2>And the reason why I have empathy for racist is

0:31:53.440 --> 0:31:56.360
<v Speaker 2>because if my mom or dad told me that I

0:31:56.400 --> 0:31:58.520
<v Speaker 2>had to hate certain people from the beginning of my

0:31:58.640 --> 0:32:01.239
<v Speaker 2>life and I and I just thought that that's how

0:32:01.320 --> 0:32:03.480
<v Speaker 2>it was. And then I went to church and those

0:32:03.480 --> 0:32:05.720
<v Speaker 2>same Christians, those Nationals tell me we got to hate

0:32:05.720 --> 0:32:08.240
<v Speaker 2>these people. How can you then blame that person who

0:32:08.280 --> 0:32:11.560
<v Speaker 2>is indoctrinated this way? Right, I have empathy for them,

0:32:11.600 --> 0:32:13.280
<v Speaker 2>and if they ask me that question, like why are

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:15.560
<v Speaker 2>so angry? I do take my time. So when we

0:32:15.680 --> 0:32:17.600
<v Speaker 2>you know, the whole purpose of this podcast was like

0:32:17.640 --> 0:32:22.320
<v Speaker 2>surviving Trump's America. Right, you know how I'm surviving Trump's America.

0:32:22.440 --> 0:32:24.760
<v Speaker 2>Number one, Like you both said, I am going to

0:32:24.880 --> 0:32:27.880
<v Speaker 2>choose joy first. Why are we not marching? Because I'm

0:32:27.920 --> 0:32:31.160
<v Speaker 2>tired of marching? Right, I'm going to dance and sing

0:32:31.240 --> 0:32:35.000
<v Speaker 2>and enjoy my blackness. But also if I have a

0:32:35.120 --> 0:32:38.840
<v Speaker 2>chance to try to educate somebody, whether they be black, white, Asian,

0:32:39.000 --> 0:32:43.040
<v Speaker 2>Indian Latin or LATINX. I am going to educate them

0:32:43.080 --> 0:32:47.000
<v Speaker 2>on the history of race relations in this country because

0:32:47.000 --> 0:32:48.200
<v Speaker 2>most people don't.

0:32:47.960 --> 0:32:51.480
<v Speaker 4>Know because it was taken out of American history level, you.

0:32:51.400 --> 0:32:54.120
<v Speaker 2>Know what I'm saying, Like the fact that we even

0:32:54.200 --> 0:32:57.120
<v Speaker 2>have to call it black history is a problem because

0:32:57.120 --> 0:32:59.760
<v Speaker 2>now white people, Asian people, Indian LATINX are going to

0:32:59.800 --> 0:33:01.280
<v Speaker 2>be like, well, that's not my history, I don't have

0:33:01.320 --> 0:33:03.920
<v Speaker 2>to learn it. It is your history because you were

0:33:03.960 --> 0:33:06.320
<v Speaker 2>brought to this continent under the same pretense. A lot

0:33:06.400 --> 0:33:08.560
<v Speaker 2>of Asian people don't talk about this. Do you know

0:33:08.560 --> 0:33:13.480
<v Speaker 2>why Asians were considered model minorities Once they freed African

0:33:13.520 --> 0:33:15.920
<v Speaker 2>Americans here in eighteen sixty five, right, and we had

0:33:16.000 --> 0:33:19.400
<v Speaker 2>Western expansion, they needed to then cultivate the land to

0:33:19.480 --> 0:33:20.160
<v Speaker 2>build on it.

0:33:20.440 --> 0:33:22.680
<v Speaker 4>Right, we can't get black people to build on it.

0:33:22.720 --> 0:33:24.760
<v Speaker 2>So what we're going to do promise Asians when they

0:33:24.760 --> 0:33:27.240
<v Speaker 2>come over here, they're going to get the prosperity that

0:33:27.280 --> 0:33:30.160
<v Speaker 2>white people get. And what they did was they gave

0:33:30.280 --> 0:33:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Asians the opportunity to do all this other stuff and

0:33:32.440 --> 0:33:34.560
<v Speaker 2>said we're going to do this to separate yourself from

0:33:34.600 --> 0:33:37.880
<v Speaker 2>black people. This is a fact because Asian Americans have

0:33:37.960 --> 0:33:41.480
<v Speaker 2>said it over time. We were given loans, and we

0:33:41.480 --> 0:33:45.520
<v Speaker 2>were given red line business loans. Redline business loans mean

0:33:45.560 --> 0:33:49.200
<v Speaker 2>they would give Asian Americans, Indian Americans all the money

0:33:49.240 --> 0:33:52.240
<v Speaker 2>they need to open up their businesses in black communities,

0:33:52.800 --> 0:33:56.520
<v Speaker 2>not white communities, because they wanted Asians and Indians to

0:33:56.520 --> 0:33:58.960
<v Speaker 2>be able to circulate the money from black communities and

0:33:59.000 --> 0:34:01.360
<v Speaker 2>take it out the community. Because now those people and

0:34:01.400 --> 0:34:04.440
<v Speaker 2>those entrepreneurs take that money today community. But if you

0:34:04.480 --> 0:34:07.000
<v Speaker 2>go to white communities, you don't see anybody but white

0:34:07.040 --> 0:34:08.600
<v Speaker 2>people owning their stuff.

0:34:09.719 --> 0:34:12.359
<v Speaker 4>And when you explain things like this to people, they

0:34:12.360 --> 0:34:14.279
<v Speaker 4>start to Because I.

0:34:14.200 --> 0:34:18.400
<v Speaker 2>Definitely have Asian friends too. My father came here with nothing.

0:34:19.400 --> 0:34:21.040
<v Speaker 2>How come you know your parents have been here? How

0:34:21.040 --> 0:34:23.400
<v Speaker 2>come they haven't built? I said, well, do you understand

0:34:23.400 --> 0:34:26.919
<v Speaker 2>about Seneca Village in Telsa, Oklahoma? No, what is that

0:34:27.280 --> 0:34:29.719
<v Speaker 2>every time black people build something for themselves, much like

0:34:29.760 --> 0:34:32.640
<v Speaker 2>you did, like Chinatown, it was burned down. So if

0:34:32.680 --> 0:34:35.959
<v Speaker 2>people burned down Chinatown right now in New York, y'all

0:34:35.960 --> 0:34:37.120
<v Speaker 2>still gonna say the same thing.

0:34:37.680 --> 0:34:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Oh, that's what we need. We need education of history.

0:34:41.600 --> 0:34:43.880
<v Speaker 2>We don't need to feel sorry for ourselves. Because I

0:34:43.880 --> 0:34:46.480
<v Speaker 2>don't feel sorry about my blackness, but I also am

0:34:46.480 --> 0:34:50.239
<v Speaker 2>not gonna harbor no hatred towards people who are just

0:34:50.320 --> 0:34:52.360
<v Speaker 2>also just miseducated and uneducated.

0:34:52.400 --> 0:34:55.120
<v Speaker 4>I'm not gonna do that no more. Y'all got problems

0:34:55.160 --> 0:34:56.240
<v Speaker 4>with me for whatever reason.

0:34:56.280 --> 0:34:58.839
<v Speaker 2>Okay, y'all got that problem, but I'm not gonna have

0:34:58.880 --> 0:35:00.520
<v Speaker 2>that roll around in chess.

0:35:00.840 --> 0:35:03.360
<v Speaker 3>Is that why we have much Chinese Chinese food restaurants?

0:35:03.360 --> 0:35:07.320
<v Speaker 5>And that is exactly what I was like Literally where

0:35:07.320 --> 0:35:09.000
<v Speaker 5>we used to live in Crown Heights, on the on

0:35:09.080 --> 0:35:11.600
<v Speaker 5>Notion Avenue, there was the Chinese food restaurant and the

0:35:11.640 --> 0:35:14.200
<v Speaker 5>liquor store owned by the Indian dude. And then yeah,

0:35:14.239 --> 0:35:17.760
<v Speaker 5>it's like literally in succession, and it repeats every two blocks.

0:35:17.760 --> 0:35:19.200
<v Speaker 3>They were called the moat.

0:35:19.719 --> 0:35:21.120
<v Speaker 1>They're called model minorities.

0:35:21.200 --> 0:35:23.839
<v Speaker 2>You bring minorities into start business, and that business gets

0:35:23.880 --> 0:35:26.400
<v Speaker 2>taxed and that business goes into the government. But you

0:35:26.480 --> 0:35:29.600
<v Speaker 2>put those businesses in black communities, that was redlined. You

0:35:29.640 --> 0:35:31.440
<v Speaker 2>don't give them a lot of money. You give them

0:35:31.560 --> 0:35:33.560
<v Speaker 2>enough money to be able to spend money with other

0:35:33.640 --> 0:35:34.640
<v Speaker 2>model minorities.

0:35:35.480 --> 0:35:38.719
<v Speaker 4>That's and and people don't understand that that was a systemic.

0:35:38.400 --> 0:35:39.680
<v Speaker 3>Put in place.

0:35:39.920 --> 0:35:40.600
<v Speaker 5>You know, m.

0:35:42.400 --> 0:35:43.640
<v Speaker 3>Very very interesting stuff.

0:35:44.320 --> 0:35:47.560
<v Speaker 8>I think it's also interesting now that you were talking

0:35:47.600 --> 0:35:51.839
<v Speaker 8>about Asian Americans coming or Asians coming over. Something that

0:35:52.160 --> 0:35:57.640
<v Speaker 8>the President did recently was used the Alien Enemies Act

0:35:57.920 --> 0:36:01.799
<v Speaker 8>to deport a bunch of people kind of illegally. So

0:36:02.040 --> 0:36:04.960
<v Speaker 8>the Alien Enemies Act of seventeen ninety eight, it allowed

0:36:04.960 --> 0:36:08.480
<v Speaker 8>the US government to deport non citizens if they were

0:36:08.560 --> 0:36:12.360
<v Speaker 8>found to like say something disparaging about the government, or

0:36:12.680 --> 0:36:14.960
<v Speaker 8>you know, if they thought that they, you know, were

0:36:15.000 --> 0:36:16.719
<v Speaker 8>a part of some type of pretty much that.

0:36:16.760 --> 0:36:21.960
<v Speaker 2>They recognized their color. Yes, like vagrancy acts. Yeah, if

0:36:21.960 --> 0:36:24.239
<v Speaker 2>you can't read or write or own property, now you're

0:36:24.280 --> 0:36:26.440
<v Speaker 2>a felon. And now we can put you in prison,

0:36:26.480 --> 0:36:29.360
<v Speaker 2>and we can use convict leasing to lease that work

0:36:29.400 --> 0:36:31.400
<v Speaker 2>out to people who don't have to pay you.

0:36:31.840 --> 0:36:33.040
<v Speaker 1>So what they did with that.

0:36:33.120 --> 0:36:35.480
<v Speaker 2>Was, oh, these immigrants think that they can talk bad

0:36:35.480 --> 0:36:38.359
<v Speaker 2>about our government, we can do this and deport them.

0:36:38.400 --> 0:36:40.400
<v Speaker 4>But let me ask you a question. If we deport

0:36:40.440 --> 0:36:42.480
<v Speaker 4>all the people who are here doing the work, who's

0:36:42.480 --> 0:36:43.120
<v Speaker 4>going to do it work?

0:36:43.320 --> 0:36:44.279
<v Speaker 3>Who's going to do it?

0:36:44.440 --> 0:36:48.759
<v Speaker 5>I just got to build in the mail from Bill, right,

0:36:49.880 --> 0:36:51.840
<v Speaker 5>I got to build in the mail from Bill talking

0:36:51.840 --> 0:36:55.120
<v Speaker 5>about the price increase going up for our landscaping for example, right,

0:36:56.000 --> 0:36:57.080
<v Speaker 5>and then Bill.

0:36:57.040 --> 0:36:59.680
<v Speaker 3>Just told me simultaneously last spring.

0:36:59.600 --> 0:37:02.200
<v Speaker 5>It's so hard to find workers. And you know your

0:37:02.239 --> 0:37:04.800
<v Speaker 5>flowers won't be put in for maybe about four to

0:37:04.880 --> 0:37:06.680
<v Speaker 5>six weeks. Somebody spring will be over by then, like

0:37:06.719 --> 0:37:10.239
<v Speaker 5>it'll be multiple and you want to up the price too,

0:37:10.280 --> 0:37:13.000
<v Speaker 5>And who's going to do the work because you ain't

0:37:13.040 --> 0:37:13.359
<v Speaker 5>doing it?

0:37:13.400 --> 0:37:18.640
<v Speaker 3>Bill, Bill has some you know, say.

0:37:18.520 --> 0:37:22.160
<v Speaker 2>He has some illegal people for the company so he

0:37:22.239 --> 0:37:25.400
<v Speaker 2>can pay them there minimal exactly, just like the government

0:37:25.440 --> 0:37:28.600
<v Speaker 2>did with the age over here to build the railroads

0:37:28.640 --> 0:37:29.680
<v Speaker 2>for western expansion.

0:37:30.040 --> 0:37:33.359
<v Speaker 1>That is part of the American dream to.

0:37:33.320 --> 0:37:35.359
<v Speaker 4>Bring people who.

0:37:34.880 --> 0:37:36.000
<v Speaker 1>Don't look like us.

0:37:36.360 --> 0:37:39.440
<v Speaker 2>We villainize them, we criminalize their existence to keep them

0:37:39.480 --> 0:37:40.720
<v Speaker 2>in a small part of the country.

0:37:40.760 --> 0:37:42.400
<v Speaker 5>But we need them, and we need them for LA

0:37:43.080 --> 0:37:47.120
<v Speaker 5>cannot function without their services.

0:37:47.320 --> 0:37:51.640
<v Speaker 8>So, uh, you might have heard about I think his

0:37:51.680 --> 0:37:54.600
<v Speaker 8>name is my Mood Khalil. He was deported recently for

0:37:54.960 --> 0:37:59.480
<v Speaker 8>uh protesting what's happening in Gaza, Israel at Columbia.

0:37:59.520 --> 0:38:00.840
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, there's test.

0:38:00.800 --> 0:38:02.680
<v Speaker 1>Going on, yes, yes, yes, yes.

0:38:02.520 --> 0:38:06.799
<v Speaker 2>Detained and we talked about taking funding away from Colombia.

0:38:06.880 --> 0:38:10.600
<v Speaker 8>Yes, And Trump has been saying he'll deport students if

0:38:10.640 --> 0:38:13.960
<v Speaker 8>they speak, if they're pro Palestinian. And so what followed

0:38:13.960 --> 0:38:16.480
<v Speaker 8>the Alien Enemies Act was the Sedition Act of nineteen

0:38:16.520 --> 0:38:20.680
<v Speaker 8>seventy seventeen, where they targeted American citizens for speaking against

0:38:20.680 --> 0:38:23.560
<v Speaker 8>the government or anti war protests.

0:38:23.680 --> 0:38:27.160
<v Speaker 2>That's when they created concentration camps here in America. Correct,

0:38:27.640 --> 0:38:31.640
<v Speaker 2>that was right right before, because they had concentration camps

0:38:31.640 --> 0:38:35.040
<v Speaker 2>here in americament camps, tenement camps, my bad, not concentration guys,

0:38:35.040 --> 0:38:37.000
<v Speaker 2>I'm sorry, which is very different, but tenement camps. That

0:38:37.080 --> 0:38:39.319
<v Speaker 2>was around the same time, right, I just want to

0:38:39.320 --> 0:38:41.879
<v Speaker 2>be clear. I don't know, because I know, I know

0:38:44.160 --> 0:38:48.520
<v Speaker 2>of Western expansion, there were tenement camps where a lot

0:38:48.560 --> 0:38:51.840
<v Speaker 2>of Asian people who were not quote unquote citizens.

0:38:52.400 --> 0:38:55.400
<v Speaker 8>Oh you're talking about this was after yeah, this was

0:38:55.440 --> 0:38:58.360
<v Speaker 8>like the twenties. This was during World War War yeah,

0:38:58.640 --> 0:39:00.160
<v Speaker 8>or was it after World War Two?

0:39:00.360 --> 0:39:02.799
<v Speaker 4>It was during Hiroshima? Yeah, so that was that's when.

0:39:02.880 --> 0:39:04.120
<v Speaker 4>It was right after Hiroshima.

0:39:04.160 --> 0:39:06.760
<v Speaker 2>And it was just like the Asians were the enemy,

0:39:06.880 --> 0:39:09.440
<v Speaker 2>you know how you know how America always finds an enemy.

0:39:10.080 --> 0:39:13.040
<v Speaker 2>It was it was black people, internment cancers, black people,

0:39:13.080 --> 0:39:15.319
<v Speaker 2>then it was Asians then during nine to eleven it

0:39:15.360 --> 0:39:18.960
<v Speaker 2>was Muslims and Indian people. It's like America always finds

0:39:19.520 --> 0:39:21.799
<v Speaker 2>an enemy, you know, and they put a face on

0:39:21.840 --> 0:39:23.640
<v Speaker 2>the colored person and say that's the enemy.

0:39:24.000 --> 0:39:25.880
<v Speaker 4>I think that's when that happened with those camps.

0:39:25.920 --> 0:39:29.120
<v Speaker 8>So now, yeah, that was that was during World War

0:39:29.200 --> 0:39:34.879
<v Speaker 8>Two in the forties, but this sedition was happening from

0:39:35.000 --> 0:39:38.840
<v Speaker 8>the nineteen seventeens all through the fifties when you people

0:39:38.840 --> 0:39:43.200
<v Speaker 8>could get arrested for being accused of being communists, for

0:39:43.280 --> 0:39:45.799
<v Speaker 8>speaking out against the government, or for saying stuff like

0:39:45.840 --> 0:39:48.719
<v Speaker 8>we're saying black lives matter. There will come a time

0:39:48.800 --> 0:39:52.680
<v Speaker 8>during this presidency where if you are talking about black

0:39:52.719 --> 0:39:55.080
<v Speaker 8>lives matter. That's why they're making it illegal for race

0:39:55.120 --> 0:39:56.280
<v Speaker 8>based groups to exist.

0:39:56.719 --> 0:39:58.719
<v Speaker 4>Is it's going to there's gonna be a shit show.

0:39:58.760 --> 0:40:00.000
<v Speaker 4>I mean, hasn't it been like that? Though?

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:03.160
<v Speaker 2>The Black Panther Party was pretty much considered a terrorist

0:40:03.239 --> 0:40:06.239
<v Speaker 2>organization in the sixties and seventies because they were trying

0:40:06.280 --> 0:40:07.480
<v Speaker 2>to feed their families.

0:40:07.520 --> 0:40:09.799
<v Speaker 8>But that's where we're going back to the times in

0:40:09.840 --> 0:40:12.719
<v Speaker 8>the fifties and sixties where it was illegal to speak

0:40:12.719 --> 0:40:13.560
<v Speaker 8>out against the government.

0:40:13.600 --> 0:40:14.360
<v Speaker 4>Free speeches.

0:40:14.640 --> 0:40:19.000
<v Speaker 8>Is is going down and I blame Barack Obama for

0:40:19.080 --> 0:40:22.440
<v Speaker 8>all of it, because everybody was saying, we wanted a

0:40:22.480 --> 0:40:26.400
<v Speaker 8>black president. Finally black people get something that we've been owed.

0:40:26.440 --> 0:40:31.000
<v Speaker 8>And Barack Obama wouldn't even talk about reparations. He wouldn't

0:40:31.040 --> 0:40:35.400
<v Speaker 8>even prove the anti lynching laws. He didn't do anything

0:40:35.440 --> 0:40:39.080
<v Speaker 8>because he was too scared of anti white sentiment during

0:40:39.080 --> 0:40:42.960
<v Speaker 8>the time. And now Donald Trump is just blatantly doing

0:40:43.080 --> 0:40:45.200
<v Speaker 8>anything that conservative white men want.

0:40:45.120 --> 0:40:46.920
<v Speaker 4>Him to do. Let me ask a question, though, was

0:40:46.960 --> 0:40:48.640
<v Speaker 4>he scared or was he handicapped?

0:40:48.719 --> 0:40:53.480
<v Speaker 8>He said that, Well, I guess okay, but he did

0:40:53.520 --> 0:40:56.440
<v Speaker 8>say that it was because he saw, you know, the

0:40:57.360 --> 0:40:59.879
<v Speaker 8>effects of anti white sentiment during the time.

0:41:00.080 --> 0:41:03.440
<v Speaker 4>Now I will agree with that. Right every time, you

0:41:03.480 --> 0:41:05.080
<v Speaker 4>can't be handicapped, because that's what I'm saying.

0:41:05.160 --> 0:41:07.160
<v Speaker 8>Trump is showing us that as president, you don't have

0:41:07.239 --> 0:41:10.880
<v Speaker 8>to listen to anybody himself.

0:41:11.680 --> 0:41:11.799
<v Speaker 2>Right.

0:41:12.239 --> 0:41:15.080
<v Speaker 3>I think Bock's hands retired with a lot of things.

0:41:15.520 --> 0:41:22.600
<v Speaker 2>Think about history, right, Frederick Douglas. What came after Frederick Douglas?

0:41:22.440 --> 0:41:26.839
<v Speaker 2>That this is the power hate? Martin Luther King? What

0:41:27.000 --> 0:41:30.600
<v Speaker 2>happened after Martin Luther King white hate? We got mass incarceration.

0:41:31.400 --> 0:41:33.880
<v Speaker 2>What I think is and I'm only speaking what I

0:41:33.920 --> 0:41:36.279
<v Speaker 2>think because I never spoke to Barack Obama. He is

0:41:36.360 --> 0:41:39.600
<v Speaker 2>now the president of the free world. Is it going

0:41:39.640 --> 0:41:41.680
<v Speaker 2>to be more detrimental to my people if I go

0:41:41.800 --> 0:41:44.080
<v Speaker 2>up here and I am the black president or if

0:41:44.120 --> 0:41:46.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm a president. That's what I think. He was dealing

0:41:46.840 --> 0:41:50.080
<v Speaker 2>with a lot of right for a lot of people

0:41:50.080 --> 0:41:52.520
<v Speaker 2>who don't have empathy for people who understand the power

0:41:52.560 --> 0:41:54.640
<v Speaker 2>that comes with that, they just be like, he's supposed

0:41:54.680 --> 0:41:56.440
<v Speaker 2>to be our president. He's supposed to do this, he's

0:41:56.440 --> 0:41:58.839
<v Speaker 2>supposed to do that. But they don't understand history. Every

0:41:58.840 --> 0:42:01.640
<v Speaker 2>time we had someone's they end up publicly for us.

0:42:02.000 --> 0:42:06.120
<v Speaker 2>They came down harder on our people. And that's why

0:42:06.480 --> 0:42:09.880
<v Speaker 2>to journal truth and freaking Harriet Tubman created things like

0:42:09.920 --> 0:42:10.879
<v Speaker 2>the Underground World World.

0:42:10.960 --> 0:42:14.080
<v Speaker 4>We don't have to exclaim anything, you know what I'm saying.

0:42:14.239 --> 0:42:17.480
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, I get that, But like when the America was

0:42:17.520 --> 0:42:20.080
<v Speaker 8>just the thirteen colonies that was ruled by the British

0:42:20.080 --> 0:42:24.520
<v Speaker 8>and the French. The people that founded America, that was

0:42:24.520 --> 0:42:26.839
<v Speaker 8>their whole thing. They had to stand up and they

0:42:26.920 --> 0:42:30.400
<v Speaker 8>got came down on harder every time and then until

0:42:30.400 --> 0:42:32.840
<v Speaker 8>they had to go to war. And I feel like

0:42:32.880 --> 0:42:35.400
<v Speaker 8>black people were only willing to go so far. You

0:42:35.400 --> 0:42:37.160
<v Speaker 8>know what I'm saying, Like, if we get somebody in

0:42:37.200 --> 0:42:39.880
<v Speaker 8>the presidential seat, that person has to be willing to

0:42:39.880 --> 0:42:41.759
<v Speaker 8>put themselves on the line. I feel like for black

0:42:41.800 --> 0:42:43.560
<v Speaker 8>people or else, we're never gonna get there.

0:42:44.840 --> 0:42:45.640
<v Speaker 4>I disagree with that.

0:42:46.160 --> 0:42:47.400
<v Speaker 2>I feel like if he goes in there and put

0:42:47.480 --> 0:42:49.160
<v Speaker 2>himself on the line for black people, he gonna be

0:42:49.160 --> 0:42:50.840
<v Speaker 2>finished and Black finished.

0:42:51.040 --> 0:42:53.480
<v Speaker 4>That's just my opinion. It could happen that way, that's

0:42:53.520 --> 0:42:54.000
<v Speaker 4>my opinion.

0:42:54.160 --> 0:42:56.080
<v Speaker 2>I just think that it's unfair to put that on

0:42:56.080 --> 0:42:59.440
<v Speaker 2>on him. I feel like we have learned though that

0:42:59.480 --> 0:43:01.520
<v Speaker 2>we even if we have a black president, we never

0:43:01.560 --> 0:43:03.400
<v Speaker 2>going to be the priority. That's why I said, I

0:43:03.440 --> 0:43:05.680
<v Speaker 2>don't give a fuck who the president is. You know

0:43:05.680 --> 0:43:07.279
<v Speaker 2>what I'm saying. I'm just like, yo, let them do

0:43:07.320 --> 0:43:10.160
<v Speaker 2>what they do at that level. And because my biggest

0:43:10.160 --> 0:43:12.879
<v Speaker 2>focus is what I deal with every single day. Right,

0:43:13.120 --> 0:43:14.880
<v Speaker 2>I go from here to my kids' school, I go

0:43:14.920 --> 0:43:16.719
<v Speaker 2>from here to the studio, I go from here to

0:43:16.760 --> 0:43:19.600
<v Speaker 2>the airport, right, and then I'm building. So I got

0:43:19.640 --> 0:43:21.799
<v Speaker 2>to make sure everything around these areas is good.

0:43:21.920 --> 0:43:22.080
<v Speaker 4>Right.

0:43:22.320 --> 0:43:24.520
<v Speaker 2>We went to our local We went to those local

0:43:24.560 --> 0:43:27.320
<v Speaker 2>meetings for the Democrats earlier because we wanted to know

0:43:27.360 --> 0:43:30.160
<v Speaker 2>who our local government was, you know. So that's my

0:43:30.160 --> 0:43:32.680
<v Speaker 2>biggest thing is, Okay, the president can do whatever he wants.

0:43:32.680 --> 0:43:35.000
<v Speaker 2>I want to know who my old min is city council.

0:43:35.640 --> 0:43:36.520
<v Speaker 4>I want to know those people.

0:43:36.560 --> 0:43:38.600
<v Speaker 7>Those are the most important. People don't know. And that's

0:43:38.640 --> 0:43:40.640
<v Speaker 7>the problem with our community. We don't know those people.

0:43:40.760 --> 0:43:44.680
<v Speaker 7>We don't do mid mid season polls or all these

0:43:45.320 --> 0:43:49.479
<v Speaker 7>we don't participate, and then when it's time we start complaining. Also,

0:43:50.200 --> 0:43:52.560
<v Speaker 7>only was the president while they had the House. It

0:43:52.719 --> 0:43:55.400
<v Speaker 7>ends with tied that literally facts.

0:43:55.600 --> 0:43:57.040
<v Speaker 2>I mean when he forged out in, I think we

0:43:57.160 --> 0:43:59.399
<v Speaker 2>had the House and then we didn't vote, and then

0:43:59.400 --> 0:43:59.880
<v Speaker 2>they got that.

0:44:01.000 --> 0:44:03.880
<v Speaker 7>So Democrats had the House and the Senate.

0:44:04.320 --> 0:44:07.920
<v Speaker 2>I believe when Obama first got in we had the

0:44:07.960 --> 0:44:10.200
<v Speaker 2>House because I remember I don't remember, you can look

0:44:10.239 --> 0:44:12.319
<v Speaker 2>it up, but I remember people saying that once we

0:44:12.360 --> 0:44:15.440
<v Speaker 2>won the presidency, black people stopped voting and we lost control.

0:44:16.640 --> 0:44:17.560
<v Speaker 1>That's what I kept hearing.

0:44:17.560 --> 0:44:20.160
<v Speaker 2>And they said the last six years of Obama's presidency,

0:44:20.480 --> 0:44:23.080
<v Speaker 2>he really couldn't do much because they wouldn't control everything

0:44:23.160 --> 0:44:23.919
<v Speaker 2>was read at that point.

0:44:24.040 --> 0:44:27.000
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, I don't think anything was getting past.

0:44:27.280 --> 0:44:29.960
<v Speaker 2>And then he got obama Care passed, which they're quickly

0:44:30.040 --> 0:44:32.520
<v Speaker 2>rolling back now, Yeah, you know what I'm saying, because

0:44:32.560 --> 0:44:34.600
<v Speaker 2>they just want to undo anything that he's done.

0:44:34.840 --> 0:44:37.800
<v Speaker 8>Yeah, and I do think racism is a distraction from

0:44:37.960 --> 0:44:42.400
<v Speaker 8>everything else because I did also see a video of

0:44:42.760 --> 0:44:46.960
<v Speaker 8>white people immigrants in California that were upset because they're

0:44:47.040 --> 0:44:50.560
<v Speaker 8>losing their Medicaid. Yeah, a dude on oxygen who voted

0:44:50.600 --> 0:44:53.040
<v Speaker 8>for Trump is out there now upset because he's going

0:44:53.080 --> 0:44:55.080
<v Speaker 8>to lose his health care and he can't afford that

0:44:55.160 --> 0:44:58.879
<v Speaker 8>damn oxygen without it. So I think I do think

0:44:58.920 --> 0:45:01.040
<v Speaker 8>that everybody it is class issue.

0:45:01.120 --> 0:45:02.600
<v Speaker 4>I think that's a class issue.

0:45:02.800 --> 0:45:06.800
<v Speaker 8>Racism always distracts people from the fact that they're poor

0:45:06.880 --> 0:45:09.439
<v Speaker 8>and they don't have any power either. If you are

0:45:09.480 --> 0:45:12.120
<v Speaker 8>not in the top one percent, you don't have shit,

0:45:12.480 --> 0:45:14.080
<v Speaker 8>you know. And so you should be on the same

0:45:14.120 --> 0:45:18.800
<v Speaker 8>side because right now there's somebody who is the president

0:45:18.880 --> 0:45:22.800
<v Speaker 8>has to be us born, and he his closest advisor

0:45:22.920 --> 0:45:26.440
<v Speaker 8>right now, is not elected.

0:45:26.719 --> 0:45:27.319
<v Speaker 4>You know what I'm saying.

0:45:29.200 --> 0:45:29.840
<v Speaker 7>Let's remember that.

0:45:30.640 --> 0:45:33.760
<v Speaker 2>Is doing the same thing in Germany with their government

0:45:33.800 --> 0:45:37.080
<v Speaker 2>that he's doing here. He's using his billions to pretty

0:45:37.120 --> 0:45:39.960
<v Speaker 2>much create an oligarchy and all of these these places

0:45:39.960 --> 0:45:41.719
<v Speaker 2>so that he can have control to do whatever he

0:45:41.760 --> 0:45:43.799
<v Speaker 2>wants to do, which is make more trillions.

0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:45.520
<v Speaker 4>That's all he whatever wants to do.

0:45:46.320 --> 0:45:49.960
<v Speaker 7>So I got it here. Nine to eleven Democrats out

0:45:49.920 --> 0:45:52.839
<v Speaker 7>of the House and the same so the first two years, the.

0:45:52.800 --> 0:45:55.879
<v Speaker 4>First two years, So that's what happened the first two years,

0:45:55.920 --> 0:45:56.160
<v Speaker 4>and then.

0:45:56.520 --> 0:45:59.640
<v Speaker 7>His final two years Republicans at it both. Oh well,

0:45:59.680 --> 0:46:01.960
<v Speaker 7>that makes it was split for four years and then

0:46:02.000 --> 0:46:05.880
<v Speaker 7>for the last two Uh, they had it.

0:46:06.600 --> 0:46:08.120
<v Speaker 2>One thing I want to say before we take a break,

0:46:08.160 --> 0:46:09.719
<v Speaker 2>because we will have to take a break, I do

0:46:09.760 --> 0:46:12.799
<v Speaker 2>want I want people to realize this. Black people have

0:46:12.920 --> 0:46:15.960
<v Speaker 2>never been the priority right in this country. But also

0:46:15.960 --> 0:46:19.080
<v Speaker 2>black people haven't been the priority to take down because

0:46:19.120 --> 0:46:20.960
<v Speaker 2>they don't even care enough about us to try to

0:46:21.000 --> 0:46:23.040
<v Speaker 2>take us down. That's why we need to be more quiet.

0:46:23.320 --> 0:46:25.640
<v Speaker 2>Right the whole DEI thing, a lot of black people

0:46:25.640 --> 0:46:27.000
<v Speaker 2>got upset they rolling.

0:46:26.840 --> 0:46:28.000
<v Speaker 4>Back to the DEI programs.

0:46:28.040 --> 0:46:30.279
<v Speaker 2>But what they don't realize the people who benefited the

0:46:30.280 --> 0:46:31.120
<v Speaker 2>most was white women.

0:46:31.480 --> 0:46:34.680
<v Speaker 4>So then rolling back DEI programs isn't going to affect

0:46:34.760 --> 0:46:35.600
<v Speaker 4>us directly?

0:46:36.080 --> 0:46:36.319
<v Speaker 7>Is it?

0:46:36.360 --> 0:46:36.839
<v Speaker 4>Fucked up?

0:46:36.880 --> 0:46:39.920
<v Speaker 2>Yeahs fucked up? But it doesn't directly affect us the

0:46:39.960 --> 0:46:41.920
<v Speaker 2>way we think it will. And that's how sometimes we

0:46:41.920 --> 0:46:43.560
<v Speaker 2>got to get out of our emotions and be like, Okay,

0:46:43.560 --> 0:46:45.440
<v Speaker 2>I see y'all, I see what y'all doing. Let me

0:46:45.840 --> 0:46:47.000
<v Speaker 2>you know what I'm saying. That's why I think that's

0:46:47.000 --> 0:46:50.560
<v Speaker 2>what I am with it. I'm not even focused on the.

0:46:50.480 --> 0:46:52.239
<v Speaker 3>Other bullshit the more you know.

0:46:53.440 --> 0:46:55.000
<v Speaker 5>All Right, y'all, let's take a quick break and we're

0:46:55.040 --> 0:47:05.920
<v Speaker 5>going to get back with our listener letter of today.

0:47:11.360 --> 0:47:14.439
<v Speaker 5>All right, and we're back. Let's dive into listen letter

0:47:14.480 --> 0:47:15.919
<v Speaker 5>and see what y'all say. I'm mountain this week.

0:47:15.960 --> 0:47:16.280
<v Speaker 4>Okay.

0:47:17.200 --> 0:47:20.280
<v Speaker 5>I met my boyfriend back in undergrad at Delaware State University.

0:47:20.320 --> 0:47:23.160
<v Speaker 5>He's from Fort Lauderdale born and raised, while I'm originally

0:47:23.200 --> 0:47:26.279
<v Speaker 5>from up North. After college, I found myself moving to

0:47:26.320 --> 0:47:30.239
<v Speaker 5>Fort Lauderdale, not technically for him, partially because I got

0:47:30.280 --> 0:47:32.800
<v Speaker 5>into a master's program in Miami, but let's be honest,

0:47:32.840 --> 0:47:35.719
<v Speaker 5>it was mostly for him. That sounds like me, Yeah,

0:47:35.680 --> 0:47:38.400
<v Speaker 5>I'm sure. Yeah, it's like it worked out. It was

0:47:38.760 --> 0:47:42.680
<v Speaker 5>the divine intervention. Fast forward to now we're living together.

0:47:42.719 --> 0:47:45.080
<v Speaker 5>He's a teacher with big dreams of becoming a principal,

0:47:45.080 --> 0:47:49.919
<v Speaker 5>and I'm one hundred percent his biggest cheerleader. On top

0:47:49.960 --> 0:47:53.799
<v Speaker 5>of that, he started a referee assignment business that he's

0:47:53.840 --> 0:47:56.719
<v Speaker 5>determined to grow here in Florida. But here's where things

0:47:56.760 --> 0:47:59.480
<v Speaker 5>get spicy. We love a little spice.

0:48:00.000 --> 0:48:01.600
<v Speaker 3>I recently gave him an ultimatum.

0:48:01.640 --> 0:48:04.400
<v Speaker 5>I told him that when I graduate with my doctorate,

0:48:04.719 --> 0:48:06.239
<v Speaker 5>it's time for him to put a ring on it

0:48:06.360 --> 0:48:09.160
<v Speaker 5>or I'm out of there. I have big plans for

0:48:09.200 --> 0:48:11.600
<v Speaker 5>my future and I don't want to put my goals

0:48:11.640 --> 0:48:15.680
<v Speaker 5>on hold. I intend to become a motivational speaker and

0:48:15.719 --> 0:48:19.360
<v Speaker 5>a professor at an HBCU back home near Jersey. So

0:48:19.360 --> 0:48:21.319
<v Speaker 5>I'm curious what's your take on this? Is it too

0:48:21.400 --> 0:48:25.680
<v Speaker 5>much pressure? Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

0:48:29.239 --> 0:48:29.640
<v Speaker 4>Whatever?

0:48:29.880 --> 0:48:32.279
<v Speaker 2>You already know how I feel about this. I like

0:48:32.680 --> 0:48:35.120
<v Speaker 2>when people say what they need and what they want

0:48:35.200 --> 0:48:38.439
<v Speaker 2>and what they require. I hate ultimatums because I feel

0:48:38.440 --> 0:48:41.280
<v Speaker 2>like it's unfair, Like ultimatums is your way of the highway.

0:48:41.320 --> 0:48:42.600
<v Speaker 4>And if this is supposed to be a.

0:48:42.560 --> 0:48:44.800
<v Speaker 2>Team, how about you tell me what you want and

0:48:44.880 --> 0:48:47.520
<v Speaker 2>let's see if we can work out a way to

0:48:47.560 --> 0:48:49.840
<v Speaker 2>get what you want while getting what I want. But

0:48:49.880 --> 0:48:52.080
<v Speaker 2>when it's the ultimatum. Put a ring on it. After this,

0:48:52.120 --> 0:48:53.720
<v Speaker 2>when I'm done, it's kind of like, wait a minute,

0:48:53.719 --> 0:48:56.600
<v Speaker 2>so now I have to live on your timeline.

0:48:56.760 --> 0:48:57.520
<v Speaker 4>That throws meals.

0:48:57.560 --> 0:48:59.600
<v Speaker 5>I wonder if this person listen to you, I think

0:48:59.600 --> 0:49:01.360
<v Speaker 5>we've done it episode about this where we or at

0:49:01.440 --> 0:49:03.880
<v Speaker 5>least when we explained when we were in a similar situation.

0:49:03.960 --> 0:49:07.719
<v Speaker 5>So Devall was playing in Detroit at the time, and

0:49:07.960 --> 0:49:11.680
<v Speaker 5>I was finished grad school, moved to Detroit to be

0:49:11.760 --> 0:49:13.799
<v Speaker 5>with you because I know you needed the company and

0:49:13.800 --> 0:49:16.719
<v Speaker 5>the support. You needed it while you were there, and

0:49:16.760 --> 0:49:19.000
<v Speaker 5>then it was me trying to figure out, Okay, what's next.

0:49:19.440 --> 0:49:21.839
<v Speaker 5>I think in hindsight, once I really like hashed out

0:49:22.120 --> 0:49:25.759
<v Speaker 5>my what my apprehension was at the time, it was

0:49:26.239 --> 0:49:29.280
<v Speaker 5>that I couldn't just be stagnant while you were building

0:49:29.440 --> 0:49:33.560
<v Speaker 5>essentially like your NFL career, and I was just there right,

0:49:33.680 --> 0:49:35.719
<v Speaker 5>you know. So when you felt like I gave you

0:49:35.719 --> 0:49:38.040
<v Speaker 5>an ultimatum where I told you, like, listen, either we're

0:49:38.080 --> 0:49:40.359
<v Speaker 5>going to be like committed to this future or I'm

0:49:40.360 --> 0:49:41.560
<v Speaker 5>going to go back to New York and try to

0:49:41.560 --> 0:49:44.040
<v Speaker 5>find a job. I realized now that it was me

0:49:45.080 --> 0:49:47.799
<v Speaker 5>just not wanting to just be stagnant and just sit

0:49:47.880 --> 0:49:50.360
<v Speaker 5>there waiting for you. It was me feeling like I

0:49:50.440 --> 0:49:52.440
<v Speaker 5>needed to do something. I felt like I had my

0:49:52.520 --> 0:49:55.440
<v Speaker 5>parents watching me from a distance, like up and moved

0:49:55.840 --> 0:49:58.440
<v Speaker 5>from New York to Detroit, you know, to be with

0:49:58.600 --> 0:50:01.400
<v Speaker 5>your boyfriend. But it's like, what are you doing for yourself?

0:50:02.440 --> 0:50:05.920
<v Speaker 5>So for you, Hun, I think my biggest the I.

0:50:05.840 --> 0:50:08.560
<v Speaker 2>Think how she gives that message is important because the

0:50:08.560 --> 0:50:10.360
<v Speaker 2>way you said it just now wasn't the way you

0:50:10.400 --> 0:50:12.000
<v Speaker 2>said it. Remember you said to me, I'm going back

0:50:12.000 --> 0:50:14.200
<v Speaker 2>to New York. I'm not trying to be your living girlfriend, right,

0:50:14.920 --> 0:50:16.000
<v Speaker 2>Like think about you say.

0:50:15.800 --> 0:50:18.640
<v Speaker 3>That to delivery and words have power.

0:50:18.760 --> 0:50:20.080
<v Speaker 1>Words have power, right.

0:50:20.120 --> 0:50:22.200
<v Speaker 2>So I feel like for a lot of people in

0:50:22.239 --> 0:50:24.400
<v Speaker 2>this situation, because we've had a couple of men to

0:50:24.520 --> 0:50:25.799
<v Speaker 2>be like I'm ready for you, and she don't want

0:50:25.800 --> 0:50:28.520
<v Speaker 2>to do this. It's like, Yo, don't give people ultimatums, right,

0:50:28.640 --> 0:50:31.080
<v Speaker 2>tell them what your plan is, right, tell them you

0:50:31.120 --> 0:50:33.359
<v Speaker 2>have timetables, how you feel is what.

0:50:33.280 --> 0:50:34.319
<v Speaker 1>You want and what you need.

0:50:34.400 --> 0:50:39.760
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, if that person values you and your company, they'll

0:50:39.760 --> 0:50:42.200
<v Speaker 2>find a way to make it work for both of y'all.

0:50:42.320 --> 0:50:44.160
<v Speaker 2>If they don't, they're going to be like a well

0:50:44.200 --> 0:50:45.680
<v Speaker 2>that's what you want to do, what you gotta do.

0:50:45.760 --> 0:50:46.640
<v Speaker 2>And then from there, you.

0:50:46.560 --> 0:50:49.600
<v Speaker 5>Know, because she did say she was He's from Fort Lauderdale.

0:50:49.640 --> 0:50:52.000
<v Speaker 5>She got into a program in Miami, maybe on purpose

0:50:52.040 --> 0:50:54.200
<v Speaker 5>to be with him, maybe not. But then at the

0:50:54.280 --> 0:50:56.000
<v Speaker 5>end of this she says she wants to eventually be

0:50:56.040 --> 0:50:58.760
<v Speaker 5>a motivational speaker and be up at HBCU and Jersey.

0:50:58.960 --> 0:51:01.279
<v Speaker 3>Does he plan to leave Florida to go back up

0:51:01.320 --> 0:51:01.840
<v Speaker 3>to Jersey?

0:51:01.920 --> 0:51:02.000
<v Speaker 6>Like?

0:51:02.360 --> 0:51:04.279
<v Speaker 5>Is that even in the cards for him? Or is

0:51:04.320 --> 0:51:07.680
<v Speaker 5>he assuming that, Well, you came to Florida to be

0:51:07.719 --> 0:51:10.160
<v Speaker 5>here with me, so maybe we'll build a life in Florida. Like,

0:51:10.160 --> 0:51:13.160
<v Speaker 5>these are just open conversations that need to be have

0:51:13.360 --> 0:51:17.080
<v Speaker 5>with your full intentions laid out on the table.

0:51:17.239 --> 0:51:19.000
<v Speaker 2>Have a question for sure, is she gonna be a

0:51:19.000 --> 0:51:21.440
<v Speaker 2>motivational speaker and she plans on being good? How come

0:51:21.520 --> 0:51:23.200
<v Speaker 2>she can't motivate this man to put a ring on.

0:51:26.000 --> 0:51:31.520
<v Speaker 3>God inquiring mind of motivations, that's a whole different.

0:51:31.520 --> 0:51:34.040
<v Speaker 4>You cannot motivate anybody to want to be married.

0:51:34.160 --> 0:51:38.200
<v Speaker 5>The wantval has said, and I've heard this from several men,

0:51:38.880 --> 0:51:43.160
<v Speaker 5>Josh and Matt included. Men have a timeline, Men have

0:51:43.280 --> 0:51:46.239
<v Speaker 5>a plan. If his intention is to be with you

0:51:46.320 --> 0:51:49.120
<v Speaker 5>long term and to marry you. Chances are he's already

0:51:49.160 --> 0:51:51.680
<v Speaker 5>thinking about that, and he's already putting the wheels in

0:51:51.719 --> 0:51:53.600
<v Speaker 5>motion and making the plans.

0:51:53.719 --> 0:51:54.319
<v Speaker 1>Did you have a.

0:51:54.280 --> 0:51:58.840
<v Speaker 4>Plan, Josh? Did you have a plan when you were ana.

0:51:58.800 --> 0:51:59.960
<v Speaker 3>To propose and eventure?

0:52:00.760 --> 0:52:02.560
<v Speaker 2>Did you foresee like this is going to be my wife,

0:52:02.600 --> 0:52:03.840
<v Speaker 2>and I got a plan and I want to do it?

0:52:03.960 --> 0:52:05.200
<v Speaker 6>Yeah at twenty six. Yeah.

0:52:05.760 --> 0:52:08.400
<v Speaker 2>See, so these three different men who al said they

0:52:08.400 --> 0:52:10.359
<v Speaker 2>had a plan, And if the woman at that time

0:52:10.400 --> 0:52:11.920
<v Speaker 2>would have been like, well it hate it happened at

0:52:11.920 --> 0:52:14.440
<v Speaker 2>twenty three or I'm out, she'd have blocked a blessing,

0:52:14.560 --> 0:52:16.400
<v Speaker 2>like that's just a fact, you know what I'm saying, Like,

0:52:16.440 --> 0:52:17.120
<v Speaker 2>that's just a fact.

0:52:17.360 --> 0:52:18.399
<v Speaker 3>Did you have a plan at the time?

0:52:18.560 --> 0:52:19.520
<v Speaker 4>I always had a plan.

0:52:19.640 --> 0:52:20.200
<v Speaker 1>I had to play.

0:52:20.280 --> 0:52:21.280
<v Speaker 3>I mean, whom I asking.

0:52:21.320 --> 0:52:21.920
<v Speaker 4>Think about it?

0:52:21.960 --> 0:52:24.920
<v Speaker 2>When I was the first date, I told you that

0:52:25.040 --> 0:52:28.120
<v Speaker 2>I wanted to go to the NFL in the practice

0:52:28.120 --> 0:52:31.759
<v Speaker 2>squad get one hundred thousand dollars so we could buy

0:52:31.760 --> 0:52:33.920
<v Speaker 2>a brownstone and we can live downstairs.

0:52:33.960 --> 0:52:35.839
<v Speaker 1>And you said, how we going to do it?

0:52:35.960 --> 0:52:36.280

<v Speaker 4>And I told you the plan I know, and that

0:52:38.440 --> 0:52:40.280
<v Speaker 4>was my and you were included.

0:52:39.880 --> 0:52:41.080
<v Speaker 3>In my plane the plan.

0:52:41.200 --> 0:52:43.600
<v Speaker 4>That was the first delusion, that was the first day.

0:52:43.840 --> 0:52:44.479
<v Speaker 3>That's what I'm thinking.

0:52:44.480 --> 0:52:47.840
<v Speaker 5>I'm like, he said it, But what in me after

0:52:47.840 --> 0:52:50.200
<v Speaker 5>the first date and at that age felt like I

0:52:50.239 --> 0:52:51.480
<v Speaker 5>really wanted to put my trust.

0:52:51.280 --> 0:52:53.319
<v Speaker 2>Into this crazy I don't know, because two weeks later

0:52:53.360 --> 0:52:54.360
<v Speaker 2>you told me you loved me, and I was like,

0:52:54.440 --> 0:52:55.520
<v Speaker 2>this girl's fucking nuts.

0:52:55.760 --> 0:52:58.319
<v Speaker 4>So you had a plan too, You had a plan,

0:52:58.400 --> 0:52:59.880
<v Speaker 4>You've seen it. I did.

0:53:02.719 --> 0:53:06.520
<v Speaker 3>Indeed, Lulu I was de Lulu before de Lulu was

0:53:06.520 --> 0:53:06.879
<v Speaker 3>a thing.

0:53:07.520 --> 0:53:11.239
<v Speaker 2>Everything we've done in our relationship would be considered red

0:53:11.280 --> 0:53:12.160
<v Speaker 2>flags in the.

0:53:12.239 --> 0:53:16.040
<v Speaker 3>Same age if you think about it so unconventional.

0:53:15.719 --> 0:53:17.600
<v Speaker 2>Like you're telling me you love me in two weeks

0:53:17.680 --> 0:53:21.480
<v Speaker 2>red flag, me telling you my whole plan for my life, red.

0:53:21.320 --> 0:53:25.160
<v Speaker 3>Flag, and me signing up for that ride, red flag.

0:53:25.160 --> 0:53:27.680
<v Speaker 2>You're including yourself in my plan when I told you,

0:53:28.080 --> 0:53:28.720
<v Speaker 2>red flag?

0:53:28.840 --> 0:53:30.319
<v Speaker 1>That's did People say that all the time.

0:53:30.400 --> 0:53:31.919
<v Speaker 7>What we're doing, what you're talking about, what we're doing.

0:53:32.040 --> 0:53:35.560
<v Speaker 4>It's only a red flag if you don't like facts.

0:53:35.600 --> 0:53:38.280
<v Speaker 2>But people say in relationships, if you're a single woman,

0:53:38.320 --> 0:53:39.839
<v Speaker 2>you don't do this if.

0:53:39.760 --> 0:53:40.960
<v Speaker 1>You're a single man.

0:53:41.880 --> 0:53:44.360
<v Speaker 6>Second, you wanted to marry a nigga since you was

0:53:44.400 --> 0:53:46.640
<v Speaker 6>in third grade.

0:53:47.080 --> 0:53:48.480
<v Speaker 3>You know what, Josh, you might be right.

0:53:48.560 --> 0:53:50.680
<v Speaker 5>Maybe I just had asked for you early on, and

0:53:50.719 --> 0:53:53.400
<v Speaker 5>I just felt something early early on, Like who.

0:53:53.280 --> 0:53:55.680
<v Speaker 2>Knows, It's just it's just what we always tell people.

0:53:55.719 --> 0:53:58.359
<v Speaker 2>Listen to yourself, listen to your spouse, and listen to God.

0:53:58.920 --> 0:54:01.040
<v Speaker 2>Nobody else can tell you what your plan is for life.

0:54:01.440 --> 0:54:03.960
<v Speaker 2>Can't nobody here tell me what my plan was for you?

0:54:04.239 --> 0:54:06.120
<v Speaker 2>My father and my mother couldn't. They told me that

0:54:06.239 --> 0:54:08.320
<v Speaker 2>I was moving too fast. Your mother told.

<v Speaker 3>You you was moving to fast.

0:54:09.440 --> 0:54:11.880
<v Speaker 4>The only person who never told you anything was your father.

0:54:12.520 --> 0:54:14.279
<v Speaker 4>So your father's like, you guys, do what you.

0:54:14.239 --> 0:54:14.719
<v Speaker 1>Guys do.

<v Speaker 4>I swear that's what he told me.

0:54:20.200 --> 0:54:24.560
<v Speaker 2>Did y'all ever tell you how I spoke to her parents? Yo,

0:54:24.680 --> 0:54:27.320
<v Speaker 2>this is a true story. It's only gonna be thirty seconds.

0:54:27.680 --> 0:54:29.520

<v Speaker 2>father said, what you guys do? What you guys does do?

0:54:39.560 --> 0:54:42.719
<v Speaker 4>I think we should have a drink? Said I think

<v Speaker 4>we should ever do?

0:54:44.520 --> 0:54:46.680
<v Speaker 2>And her mother said, Mary just can't get done as

0:54:46.880 --> 0:54:50.080
<v Speaker 2>you give away to have Did I have a plan

0:54:50.160 --> 0:54:52.480
<v Speaker 2>and you know what's going on? And I was like, actually,

0:54:52.520 --> 0:54:54.600
<v Speaker 2>I do have a plan. And then your father said

0:54:54.840 --> 0:54:55.360
<v Speaker 2>we could.

0:54:55.160 --> 0:55:01.080
<v Speaker 4>Go over this a drink downstairs. Her mother was pissed.

0:55:01.120 --> 0:55:03.319
<v Speaker 4>Bro he took me downstairs, never asked about the plan.

0:55:06.560 --> 0:55:08.160
<v Speaker 5>But then if you let my mother tell the story,

0:55:08.280 --> 0:55:09.879
<v Speaker 5>your father used to kick me up at night?

0:55:10.520 --> 0:55:13.319
<v Speaker 3>How did Kadeen get up and move all the way

0:55:13.360 --> 0:55:14.320
<v Speaker 3>over to Michigan?

0:55:14.560 --> 0:55:17.000
<v Speaker 5>And like, first of all, it's Michigan, Mom, It's not

0:55:17.239 --> 0:55:17.960
<v Speaker 5>like this.

0:55:18.840 --> 0:55:20.960
<v Speaker 3>H I know, I know how I Jamaican Zoo, but

0:55:21.040 --> 0:55:24.160
<v Speaker 3>it's Michigan. You just pick up and move to Michigan.

0:55:24.200 --> 0:55:26.160
<v Speaker 3>And how I'm going to explain that to your grandmother?

0:55:26.239 --> 0:55:28.920
<v Speaker 3>And I'm just like, yeah, that's so. That's so typical

0:55:28.960 --> 0:55:29.400
<v Speaker 3>my parents.

0:55:29.440 --> 0:55:31.920
<v Speaker 4>But I mean your father does do that, though he does.

0:55:32.160 --> 0:55:34.560
<v Speaker 2>Her father will act like everything is okay, and then

0:55:34.560 --> 0:55:36.240
<v Speaker 2>when we all leave, be on her.

0:55:36.120 --> 0:55:38.680
<v Speaker 4>Mother about him. How you're gonna let this happen? This happened,

0:55:38.680 --> 0:55:39.240
<v Speaker 4>And she said.

0:55:40.840 --> 0:55:43.279
<v Speaker 2>These questions yourself, but you chose to have a drink

0:55:43.320 --> 0:55:45.480
<v Speaker 2>and go downstairs and drinking it's all about the drinks.

0:55:46.239 --> 0:55:47.719
<v Speaker 4>Just like I just want to marry your daughter.

0:55:49.360 --> 0:55:51.080
<v Speaker 3>This if I was delusional at that age, and you

0:55:51.200 --> 0:55:52.160
<v Speaker 3>probably were just as.

0:55:52.120 --> 0:55:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Delusional to delusional now true I've been. When I first

0:55:56.719 --> 0:56:02.040
<v Speaker 2>saw you, no, Lie, I was like, damn, sorry.

0:56:03.040 --> 0:56:06.279
<v Speaker 7>Aren't most dreams that you aspire to, like really big

0:56:06.440 --> 0:56:08.319
<v Speaker 7>dreams and stuff? You got to have a little bit

0:56:08.320 --> 0:56:08.480
<v Speaker 7>of a.

0:56:10.760 --> 0:56:13.120
<v Speaker 3>Lot of delusion and insanity.

0:56:14.520 --> 0:56:18.200
<v Speaker 4>I don't think it's delusion. Everybody will believe in God, right,

0:56:18.480 --> 0:56:19.239
<v Speaker 4>that's the higher being.

0:56:19.360 --> 0:56:23.800
<v Speaker 2>Right, God, I think exists to give you the visions

0:56:23.840 --> 0:56:25.359
<v Speaker 2>of where you're supposed to be in life.

0:56:25.440 --> 0:56:26.360
<v Speaker 1>You listen to God, he.

0:56:26.400 --> 0:56:28.200
<v Speaker 3>Tells you your journey ultimately as well.

0:56:28.280 --> 0:56:31.040
<v Speaker 4>Yeah, but ultimately he gave you the vision of what

0:56:31.160 --> 0:56:31.680
<v Speaker 4>it was for you.

0:56:31.880 --> 0:56:32.640
<v Speaker 1>He can give it to me.

0:56:33.480 --> 0:56:35.560
<v Speaker 2>So when you say you love me, it's because somebody

0:56:35.640 --> 0:56:37.040
<v Speaker 2>made it clear to you, like this is where I

0:56:37.080 --> 0:56:39.000
<v Speaker 2>was supposed to be. The same way when I told

0:56:39.040 --> 0:56:41.840
<v Speaker 2>you my plan for my life, God gave me that

0:56:42.000 --> 0:56:43.560
<v Speaker 2>vision for me to say this is what I'm going

0:56:43.640 --> 0:56:46.200
<v Speaker 2>to do. Most people to that point were just.

0:56:46.239 --> 0:56:52.520
<v Speaker 4>Like, TV, you're not doing that.

0:56:52.760 --> 0:56:55.160
<v Speaker 1>And this woman right here said, so, how are you

0:56:55.239 --> 0:56:55.680
<v Speaker 1>going to do it?

0:56:56.640 --> 0:56:58.319
<v Speaker 4>And I in my mind, I was like, what made

0:56:58.360 --> 0:56:59.759
<v Speaker 4>I think that I was capable of.

0:56:59.760 --> 0:57:02.000
<v Speaker 1>Do it this, but the fact that you believe there

0:57:02.320 --> 0:57:05.160
<v Speaker 1>in me made me be like, nah, this is the one.

0:57:05.239 --> 0:57:07.759
<v Speaker 5>It might be because I also wanted to be on

0:57:07.920 --> 0:57:10.239
<v Speaker 5>TV and do those things and haven't been.

0:57:10.440 --> 0:57:11.680
<v Speaker 3>You know, a pageant.

0:57:13.960 --> 0:57:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Asked Matt.

0:57:14.880 --> 0:57:17.800
<v Speaker 2>I told Matt the visions guy gave me about you

0:57:18.360 --> 0:57:19.200
<v Speaker 2>over ten years ago.

0:57:19.400 --> 0:57:20.760
<v Speaker 4>I was like, my wife's going to do this. My

0:57:20.800 --> 0:57:21.560
<v Speaker 4>wife is going to do this.

0:57:21.760 --> 0:57:23.760
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna do this, watch this, and hasn't it all

0:58:29.960 --> 0:58:33.520
<v Speaker 3>Gmail dot com. All right, y'all, moment of truth. We're

0:58:33.560 --> 0:58:39.560
<v Speaker 3>talking about surviving Trump, surviving the presidency, surviving the next

0:58:39.680 --> 0:58:40.880
<v Speaker 3>four years of our lives.

0:58:41.600 --> 0:58:42.520
<v Speaker 4>In the next four years.

0:58:42.680 --> 0:58:45.120
<v Speaker 2>My moment is hoof is next four years. Educate yourself

0:58:45.160 --> 0:58:47.680
<v Speaker 2>on the history, world history, so you can learn how

0:58:47.720 --> 0:58:51.280
<v Speaker 2>to navigate. And nothing's too too much, it's not too overwhelming.

0:58:51.440 --> 0:58:52.960
<v Speaker 2>Educate yourself and learn how to navigate.

0:58:53.160 --> 0:58:55.000
<v Speaker 3>My mom want the truth. Kind of spirals off of that.

0:58:55.080 --> 0:58:58.200
<v Speaker 3>Each one, teach one. If you know one, if you

0:58:58.400 --> 0:59:04.560
<v Speaker 3>know very simple, if you know better, you do better.

0:59:04.600 --> 0:59:07.240
<v Speaker 5>You know some information that could potentially change the mindset

0:59:07.280 --> 0:59:11.520
<v Speaker 5>of someone because it's a fact. Then use the opportunity

0:59:11.600 --> 0:59:14.720
<v Speaker 5>to do that and learn your line dances because I'm

0:59:14.760 --> 0:59:15.200
<v Speaker 5>coming for you.

0:59:15.600 --> 0:59:24.720

<v Speaker 3>I see the wheels turning, obamatomically no God.

0:59:37.840 --> 0:59:40.080
<v Speaker 6>Now for the next four years, just put your head down,

0:59:40.880 --> 0:59:44.680
<v Speaker 6>don't watch the news, don't get sensationalized. Just make sure

<v Speaker 6>you're taking uh taking care of yourself and your your

0:59:47.960 --> 0:59:51.160
<v Speaker 6>loved ones. Man, because reality is is that this country

0:59:51.360 --> 0:59:55.400
<v Speaker 6>isn't really This country doesn't even care about itself. The

0:59:55.480 --> 0:59:58.520
<v Speaker 6>country cares more about the people. The people in power

0:59:58.640 --> 1:00:02.480
<v Speaker 6>care about themselves and the next person who looks like them,

1:00:02.600 --> 1:00:04.080
