0:00:22.000 --> 0:00:24.760
<v Speaker 1>everybody in between. A J said that, I said it today.

0:00:26.040 --> 0:00:31.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey girl, Hey y'all, what's up, Jack? How you doing?

0:00:31.720 --> 0:00:36.240
<v Speaker 1>I am in recovery mode, ch'ad my first week of three,

0:00:37.320 --> 0:00:40.200
<v Speaker 1>I gotta beat the funk up by some little bug

0:00:40.280 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 1>I picked up, probably at this house party I went

0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:45.640
<v Speaker 1>to at my home girl house. But I'm recovering. You

0:00:45.720 --> 0:00:48.360
<v Speaker 1>might have had COVID. You might have had COVID. No,

0:00:48.840 --> 0:00:51.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what COVID feels like, but I didn't

0:00:51.400 --> 0:00:54.000
<v Speaker 1>lose my taste, smell, none of that ship you know.

0:00:54.120 --> 0:00:56.320
<v Speaker 1>Reminded me of like when I was really young and

0:00:56.320 --> 0:00:59.440
<v Speaker 1>I used to have bronchitis a lot. That's that's what

0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>it felt like. That's what COVID be feeling like. Bro. Yeah,

0:01:02.840 --> 0:01:06.280
<v Speaker 1>but these things existed prior to COVID. So why why

0:01:06.360 --> 0:01:09.960
<v Speaker 1>you don't like this test? Because I feel like sometimes

0:01:09.959 --> 0:01:13.520
<v Speaker 1>the test can be contaminated. The last time I took

0:01:13.520 --> 0:01:15.920
<v Speaker 1>a COVID test, I got sick. Now, I could have

0:01:16.040 --> 0:01:18.360
<v Speaker 1>very well had COVID at that time. But I literally

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:21.200
<v Speaker 1>took a COVID test, and in twenty four hours I

0:01:21.280 --> 0:01:23.600
<v Speaker 1>was sick from having stuck some ship out my nose.

0:01:23.920 --> 0:01:27.160
<v Speaker 1>But you was already feeling sick. That's why I was.

0:01:27.240 --> 0:01:29.399
<v Speaker 1>I took the COVID test to travel back from Jamaica.

0:01:30.600 --> 0:01:33.800
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I don't know. I don't. I ain't never

0:01:33.840 --> 0:01:36.800
<v Speaker 1>heard of nobody getting sick from the test. You don't know, though,

0:01:37.560 --> 0:01:41.119
<v Speaker 1>you don't know, You're right? That was my weekend, y'all.

0:01:41.120 --> 0:01:43.640

0:01:43.760 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>I went to the gym yesterday. I'm here today. That's

0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:50.160

0:02:42.520 --> 0:02:44.520
<v Speaker 1>we watched the fight there. Well, I only watched a

0:02:44.520 --> 0:02:46.960
<v Speaker 1>few minutes of it because my bullion started hurting on

0:02:47.000 --> 0:02:48.840
<v Speaker 1>my left foot and baby had to go because we

0:02:48.880 --> 0:02:51.200
<v Speaker 1>didn't have the table and I don't do that, so

0:02:51.240 --> 0:02:52.680
<v Speaker 1>I had to get up out of there. But that

0:02:52.800 --> 0:02:56.800
<v Speaker 1>was it. I love Carlos Miller like he one of

0:02:56.840 --> 0:03:01.040
<v Speaker 1>my favorite comedians and that like um, Corey Hokem, Corey

0:03:01.080 --> 0:03:05.600

0:03:05.600 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>will go there. He's one of the people who are

0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.480
<v Speaker 1>not afraid to say whatever the funk they want to

0:03:10.520 --> 0:03:14.120
<v Speaker 1>say at all. Yeah, and sometimes that ship might have

0:03:14.240 --> 0:03:16.040
<v Speaker 1>it's like nigger, why you say that? Like how do

0:03:16.040 --> 0:03:19.440

0:03:43.720 --> 0:03:46.280
<v Speaker 1>a joke like you know, yeah, it was like a

0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.080
<v Speaker 1>girl in there with a key chain with a blood

0:03:49.080 --> 0:03:51.080
<v Speaker 1>cut on it, and he did a whole set about

0:03:51.120 --> 0:03:52.880
<v Speaker 1>a blood cutter just that quick, you know, And it

0:03:53.000 --> 0:03:56.560
<v Speaker 1>wasn't you know, you couldn't have magic. Yes, magic, he's mad.

0:03:56.680 --> 0:03:58.440
<v Speaker 1>But you know the eighty five South show. They're doing

0:03:58.520 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 1>prov for that show. Two they don't really like have

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:04.600
<v Speaker 1>a ski just go up there. I could got their food.

0:04:04.680 --> 0:04:07.840
<v Speaker 1>So it's it. That's that's a real life talent you

0:04:07.840 --> 0:04:12.240
<v Speaker 1>can't get on Instagram. Yeah. Yeah, he asked me. He

0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.320
<v Speaker 1>asked me, Uh, if my pussy was played by a

0:04:15.360 --> 0:04:18.960
<v Speaker 1>person in a movie, who would my pussy be? And

0:04:19.160 --> 0:04:21.320
<v Speaker 1>I just could not figure who my pussy would be.

0:04:21.440 --> 0:04:25.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I went. I eventually went with in the beginning,

0:04:25.960 --> 0:04:32.000
<v Speaker 1>my pussy would be Earth the Kid, mocking, and then

0:04:32.120 --> 0:04:34.680
<v Speaker 1>my pussy would be played by Cecily Tyson in the end,

0:04:36.000 --> 0:04:38.960
<v Speaker 1>a strong, strong pussy that all my life I had

0:04:39.000 --> 0:04:47.080
<v Speaker 1>to fight pussy. Stupid. One girl was like, my pussy

0:04:47.080 --> 0:04:49.800
<v Speaker 1>would be played by Ray. He was like, you gotta

0:04:49.880 --> 0:04:55.560
<v Speaker 1>inscutre pussy, Yo, broken pussy. Man. I'm trying to think

0:04:55.600 --> 0:04:58.000
<v Speaker 1>who mine would be played by. I don't know. Earth

0:04:58.000 --> 0:05:01.240
<v Speaker 1>the Kid is a good one, man, I don't know

0:05:01.320 --> 0:05:04.640
<v Speaker 1>that's a good way. All right, let's get into the

0:05:04.720 --> 0:05:08.360
<v Speaker 1>sins of this week stupid internet news. I don't know

0:05:08.400 --> 0:05:10.920
<v Speaker 1>if y'all watch football, I really don't, but I saw

0:05:10.960 --> 0:05:15.160
<v Speaker 1>this on social media that the Pittsburgh Steelers defeated the

0:05:15.200 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>Cleveland Brown fourteen and in the celebration they did CPR

0:05:22.480 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 1>motions to one of the players on the field as

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:29.279
<v Speaker 1>a victory dance. And you know, last week tomorrow, Hamlin,

0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.480
<v Speaker 1>you know, needed CPR on the field because he went

0:05:32.480 --> 0:05:37.159
<v Speaker 1>into cardiac arres and I just thought that was real tacky. Yeah,

0:05:37.200 --> 0:05:39.800
<v Speaker 1>that's kind of disrespectful. That guy could have passed away,

0:05:39.839 --> 0:05:44.600
<v Speaker 1>Like would y'all have done it? Then? It's super disrespectful.

0:05:45.279 --> 0:05:48.600
<v Speaker 1>It's just like tasteless. I mean, the a but a

0:05:48.640 --> 0:05:51.440
<v Speaker 1>graceful God that man is still here with us, you know,

0:05:52.279 --> 0:05:55.839
<v Speaker 1>God bless him and he and and he'll never play again,

0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.000
<v Speaker 1>that's for sure. But I really that they would pay

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:00.760
<v Speaker 1>him out his Phoe car track, which is a good

0:06:00.800 --> 0:06:07.279
<v Speaker 1>thing they should um do for everybody exactly. I was wondering,

0:06:07.320 --> 0:06:09.440
<v Speaker 1>like what happens in that case, because we know football

0:06:09.440 --> 0:06:15.360
<v Speaker 1>players contracts oftentimes aren't guaranteed, So do they have like

0:06:15.760 --> 0:06:18.799
<v Speaker 1>um health insurance and stuff like that, Like a regular

0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:22.919
<v Speaker 1>person would that. I'm I'm hoping so I would like

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.800
<v Speaker 1>to think so anyway, But that's whack as fun that

0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:29.680
<v Speaker 1>they did that. Yeah, Like that's traumatic experience for everybody

0:06:29.720 --> 0:06:32.719
<v Speaker 1>that was on the field during that time. And y'all

0:06:32.720 --> 0:06:35.920
<v Speaker 1>whack is hell for that. And it was just last week. Yeah,

0:06:36.000 --> 0:06:39.640
<v Speaker 1>y'all don't mean wait, it was just last week. I

0:06:39.680 --> 0:06:42.960
<v Speaker 1>hope they get some kind of fine for that ship. Yeah,

0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:46.240
<v Speaker 1>Samon's good. He tweeted Saturday, uh and he was like,

0:06:46.279 --> 0:06:49.039
<v Speaker 1>who won? The doctor told him that he won the

0:06:49.120 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Game of life? Period. Black people are so funny, man.

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.839
<v Speaker 1>We could turn like some really bad ship into a

0:06:57.880 --> 0:07:00.960
<v Speaker 1>good time all the time? Are we taking and run

0:07:01.000 --> 0:07:06.080
<v Speaker 1>out like doing CPR That was stupid stupid internet news

0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:11.800
<v Speaker 1>and other stupid Internet news. Young Thug Um trial is

0:07:12.000 --> 0:07:16.120
<v Speaker 1>due to begin, I believe in the next coming weeks anyway,

0:07:16.160 --> 0:07:20.080
<v Speaker 1>but right now they're in jury selection. So while injury selection,

0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:26.040
<v Speaker 1>the judge um, he's basically reading out the lyrics of

0:07:26.120 --> 0:07:28.679
<v Speaker 1>some of Young Thug songs in court. And I thought

0:07:28.720 --> 0:07:32.880
<v Speaker 1>that the jurors are supposed to be like, um, you know,

0:07:33.000 --> 0:07:37.840
<v Speaker 1>non biased, like they should know all these details about

0:07:37.880 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 1>the case, about the case until they're actually selected to

0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.760
<v Speaker 1>be a juror. So to me, it's kind of like

0:07:43.800 --> 0:07:49.240
<v Speaker 1>they're almost taming the jury already convicting Young Thug if

0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:53.000
<v Speaker 1>this is how they're now handling sh in court. So

0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:57.080
<v Speaker 1>I know in California they threw out using lyrics in court,

0:07:57.360 --> 0:07:59.960
<v Speaker 1>but apparently this still stands in the state of Georgia,

0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:04.480
<v Speaker 1>where they will use um rapp lyrics in particular because

0:08:04.520 --> 0:08:07.720
<v Speaker 1>we do have the most violent music, right they are

0:08:07.760 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>now using lyrics against uh these artists in court. And

0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:13.920
<v Speaker 1>I mean we're in a place like Atlanta. They're in

0:08:13.920 --> 0:08:20.280
<v Speaker 1>a place like Atlanta, Georgia. Everybody's a fucking rapper. Okay,

0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:22.960
<v Speaker 1>it's like you can't have anything happen, and then you

0:08:23.040 --> 0:08:25.200
<v Speaker 1>wrapped about. Even some ship that don't have anything to

0:08:25.240 --> 0:08:29.240
<v Speaker 1>do with anything that you're currently in trouble for, they

0:08:29.280 --> 0:08:32.280
<v Speaker 1>may use those lyrics in the court a lot. What

0:08:32.360 --> 0:08:33.959
<v Speaker 1>you think about that? Do you think that you know,

0:08:33.960 --> 0:08:36.839
<v Speaker 1>because it's art imitating life or vice versa? Which one

0:08:36.920 --> 0:08:39.080
<v Speaker 1>is it? Uh? You know? For me, it's kind of

0:08:39.120 --> 0:08:42.800
<v Speaker 1>slippery slope because if you're a rapper and you made

0:08:42.840 --> 0:08:48.120
<v Speaker 1>a song and and my cousin got killed and he's like, yeah, slice, spooky, yes,

0:08:48.360 --> 0:08:51.440
<v Speaker 1>look with a knife and put his body in the ditch,

0:08:51.720 --> 0:08:54.079
<v Speaker 1>and that's really what happened to my cousin, Pooky, I'm

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:55.719
<v Speaker 1>gonna need that to be used in court to get

0:08:55.720 --> 0:08:58.360
<v Speaker 1>you convicted. Right. So there's a part of me that

0:08:58.400 --> 0:09:01.200
<v Speaker 1>feels that way. But then is an also a part

0:09:01.240 --> 0:09:04.000
<v Speaker 1>of me that feels like a lot of times these

0:09:04.080 --> 0:09:06.600
<v Speaker 1>rappers just be entertainers and there's a lot of capping

0:09:06.679 --> 0:09:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the songs and y'all using it to make them look

0:09:11.400 --> 0:09:14.520
<v Speaker 1>bad when in the actuality it's just music. You know,

0:09:14.760 --> 0:09:18.560
<v Speaker 1>it's just for entertainment purposes. So it is a slippery slope.

0:09:18.559 --> 0:09:22.880
<v Speaker 1>For me, you know, right, And he's using lyrics from

0:09:21.480 --> 0:09:26.400
<v Speaker 1>a song slime shit. So listen to larrics are and

0:09:26.400 --> 0:09:30.440
<v Speaker 1>then what when you read larrics out, It's like what

0:09:30.559 --> 0:09:33.000
<v Speaker 1>the fund a yall nigga is really saying? It's the

0:09:33.040 --> 0:09:37.200
<v Speaker 1>beat that'd be nice. These niggas cannot wrap okay, and says,

0:09:37.280 --> 0:09:40.840
<v Speaker 1>hey this that slime ship? Hey, why is sell ship?

0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:45.000
<v Speaker 1>Hey killing twelve ship? This is fucked up? Okay, Hey,

0:09:45.240 --> 0:09:49.640
<v Speaker 1>fucking jail ship. Hey, cooking white brick. Hey, Hey I'm

0:09:49.679 --> 0:09:52.480
<v Speaker 1>not new to this. Hey, I'm so true to this. Hey,

0:09:52.520 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't put a whole slime on a hunted licks.

0:09:56.240 --> 0:09:58.079
<v Speaker 1>You read it better than that judge because he was

0:09:58.160 --> 0:10:03.439
<v Speaker 1>sucking it up. Read it to the beat. God. Like

0:10:03.640 --> 0:10:05.920
<v Speaker 1>I remember when I was living in Atlanta, there used

0:10:05.960 --> 0:10:09.240
<v Speaker 1>to be like billboards that basically they're the police was

0:10:09.320 --> 0:10:14.280
<v Speaker 1>trying to hire people to interpret gang slang. So they

0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:20.240
<v Speaker 1>were trying to hire civilians to help them. You know, understand, Yes, yes,

0:10:20.280 --> 0:10:26.839
<v Speaker 1>this is a whole another language. So um the judge

0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:32.040
<v Speaker 1>proceeding over the trial as a judge, Cleanville's a black man. Um,

0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. I don't think that they should be

0:10:34.040 --> 0:10:36.920
<v Speaker 1>able to use lyrics in court. I think that in

0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:41.120
<v Speaker 1>this case, young thug does not just need a defense attorney,

0:10:41.360 --> 0:10:45.679
<v Speaker 1>he needs uh civil law attorney. He needs a couple

0:10:45.679 --> 0:10:48.920
<v Speaker 1>of people in there because this this freedom of speech.

0:10:48.960 --> 0:10:52.280
<v Speaker 1>I feel like he should be able to um get

0:10:52.320 --> 0:10:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the lyrics thrown out, the use of the lyrics in

0:10:55.200 --> 0:10:57.960
<v Speaker 1>the crimes, because a lot of their case is based

0:10:58.000 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 1>on the lyrics in the songs. Yeah, so I think

0:11:02.160 --> 0:11:04.040
<v Speaker 1>he leaves a civil rights attorney and then just like

0:11:04.120 --> 0:11:06.360
<v Speaker 1>somebody to interpret the law because I don't see how

0:11:06.400 --> 0:11:08.520
<v Speaker 1>this is legal for them to read it out to

0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:12.920
<v Speaker 1>the jurors right during jury selection. Yeah, it's weird. So

0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:15.439
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot of unprecedented should happening in the state.

0:11:15.480 --> 0:11:17.400
<v Speaker 1>I always say, the jury is going to be members

0:11:17.559 --> 0:11:20.320
<v Speaker 1>of your peers. They already know them lyrics if it's

0:11:20.360 --> 0:11:24.440
<v Speaker 1>members of your peers, right, Yeah, but it ain't. There's

0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:28.080
<v Speaker 1>some old lady from Marietta. Yeah. This that September last year,

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:33.520
<v Speaker 1>Governor Newsome signed the decriminalizing artistic expression at Act a

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:37.720
<v Speaker 1>B nine nine. So it effectively bans the use of

0:11:37.800 --> 0:11:41.160
<v Speaker 1>rapp lyrics evidence in court and making California the first

0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.960
<v Speaker 1>state to pass such a law. They need that law

0:11:44.480 --> 0:11:47.000
<v Speaker 1>that should be a federal in Georgia, especially because there's

0:11:47.040 --> 0:11:49.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of rappers in Georgia, and then with the

0:11:50.040 --> 0:11:53.520
<v Speaker 1>gang community in California, like its rampant. It is as

0:11:53.559 --> 0:11:55.520
<v Speaker 1>it is, if they really wanted to put niggas in jail,

0:11:56.000 --> 0:11:59.200
<v Speaker 1>like they would not have inforced something like this. They

0:11:59.240 --> 0:12:01.360
<v Speaker 1>would just let it be and use all those lyrics

0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:06.240
<v Speaker 1>against against uh the artists. But also it would be

0:12:06.280 --> 0:12:09.240
<v Speaker 1>wise to not incriminate yourself and your music at all. Also,

0:12:09.520 --> 0:12:12.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's the weird part about it. It's like

0:12:12.160 --> 0:12:17.800
<v Speaker 1>our generation we did things discreetly with the drill music.

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.679
<v Speaker 1>These young guys are literally committing crimes and putting it

0:12:21.720 --> 0:12:25.040
<v Speaker 1>on wax. It's so weird, Like you don't even have

0:12:25.080 --> 0:12:28.440
<v Speaker 1>to snitch on them anymore. They snitching themselves. Get somebody

0:12:28.440 --> 0:12:30.360
<v Speaker 1>else to do it. That's my favorite ship, I know.

0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Isn't it fun? And you gotta do it? You gotta say,

0:12:34.920 --> 0:12:37.559
<v Speaker 1>just like her, ummm, get somebody else to do it?

0:12:40.720 --> 0:12:43.760
<v Speaker 1>All right? What else happening? All right? I'm sick of

0:12:43.840 --> 0:12:46.960
<v Speaker 1>these people. Okay, So I know I sent you a

0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.720
<v Speaker 1>couple of clips online after we spoke about this earlier,

0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:53.400
<v Speaker 1>but um so the family of Big Scar. He's a

0:12:53.520 --> 0:12:58.120
<v Speaker 1>rapper who you know was murdered recently. He was, Yeah,

0:12:58.160 --> 0:13:02.480
<v Speaker 1>he was on Gucci Man's label. Gucci Man Um apparently

0:13:02.520 --> 0:13:05.920
<v Speaker 1>told the family that he would cover the funeral cost, right,

0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:09.600
<v Speaker 1>so I believe he. Yeah. He passed away December twenty

0:13:09.640 --> 0:13:14.800
<v Speaker 1>two at age two, young boy, right. I don't know

0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:18.480
<v Speaker 1>how long he was signed the ten seventeen records, but

0:13:18.880 --> 0:13:21.840
<v Speaker 1>Gucci Man said he would cover to the funeral expenses.

0:13:21.880 --> 0:13:23.360
<v Speaker 1>So some of his friends and family took to the

0:13:23.360 --> 0:13:26.640
<v Speaker 1>internet to say that, you know, once they asked Gucci Man,

0:13:26.720 --> 0:13:31.520
<v Speaker 1>you know, was he going to cover the expensive expenses?

0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.520
<v Speaker 1>He hung up and blocked them for teaching or Gucci

0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:38.080
<v Speaker 1>Maine's wife Okay, so she took to social media to

0:13:38.200 --> 0:13:42.600
<v Speaker 1>produce evidence two receipts that she paid that they got

0:13:42.640 --> 0:13:47.880
<v Speaker 1>that they collectively paid for flowers and ten thousand dollars

0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:52.640
<v Speaker 1>towards the funeral expenses for this young man Um. I

0:13:52.640 --> 0:13:55.120
<v Speaker 1>don't know what else they could have done. The family

0:13:55.160 --> 0:13:57.199
<v Speaker 1>is still saying they didn't get any money. They paid

0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.240
<v Speaker 1>the money directly to the funeral home. Did y'all want

0:14:00.240 --> 0:14:03.000
<v Speaker 1>that money to go to your hands? Right? So y'all

0:14:03.000 --> 0:14:07.320
<v Speaker 1>can cremate him and split the uh nine thousand. I

0:14:07.320 --> 0:14:10.280
<v Speaker 1>mean they should have created him in the first place. Yeah,

0:14:10.880 --> 0:14:13.800
<v Speaker 1>I just don't. I don't agree with spending thousands and

0:14:13.840 --> 0:14:18.600
<v Speaker 1>thousands of dollars on and this is my preference, right

0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:23.920
<v Speaker 1>I can. I'll say this, Um, living your life a

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.320
<v Speaker 1>certain way and then put in your family and a

0:14:26.320 --> 0:14:31.640
<v Speaker 1>hardship when something happens to you, it's very selfish. So

0:14:31.680 --> 0:14:34.840
<v Speaker 1>we know that cremation is much less expensive. And I

0:14:34.840 --> 0:14:38.200
<v Speaker 1>don't know if it's a religious religion reason why they

0:14:38.400 --> 0:14:43.320
<v Speaker 1>have to have a burial, an actual burial, but cremate

0:14:43.400 --> 0:14:47.400
<v Speaker 1>that boy and keep it moving. Did you have life insurance?

0:14:48.160 --> 0:14:50.280
<v Speaker 1>This is the stuff we need to listen. This, This

0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.520
<v Speaker 1>is the hard truths. I'm sorry, it's just a hard truth.

0:14:53.600 --> 0:14:56.960
<v Speaker 1>Like you you're leaving. If you need assistance to bury

0:14:57.040 --> 0:15:00.360
<v Speaker 1>your child, y'all don't have it. Y'all don't have the money.

0:15:00.360 --> 0:15:04.800
<v Speaker 1>He didn't leave any money nothing. Obviously, if y'all talking,

0:15:04.800 --> 0:15:09.320
<v Speaker 1>it's crazy about somebody outside your family that did assist. Yeah,

0:15:09.320 --> 0:15:11.320
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand why they were sold. You know, people

0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:13.600
<v Speaker 1>more indifferent and I just try not to pass judgment

0:15:13.600 --> 0:15:17.760
<v Speaker 1>on people morning. Uh, but it's unfair for them to

0:15:17.840 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 1>feel like Gucci didn't do enough. He didn't have to

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:22.600
<v Speaker 1>do Honestly, he didn't have to do nothing. You know,

0:15:23.240 --> 0:15:26.080
<v Speaker 1>nobody's entitled to do anything for you, right, did he

0:15:26.160 --> 0:15:28.920
<v Speaker 1>die for you? That's the only way I could think of.

0:15:29.080 --> 0:15:32.640
<v Speaker 1>Like even then, Oh, you can say your condolences. You

0:15:32.640 --> 0:15:36.600
<v Speaker 1>still don't owe nobody anything financially. What they did was nice.

0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.080
<v Speaker 1>You know, they gave money, They gave ten thousand dollars,

0:15:39.120 --> 0:15:42.160
<v Speaker 1>they sit flowers. You know, what else do you want?

0:15:42.400 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 1>What else do you want? Oh, he's asking for his

0:15:44.640 --> 0:15:47.880
<v Speaker 1>chains back to So Gucci Maine is asking for the

0:15:47.960 --> 0:15:53.160
<v Speaker 1>chains that he gave this young man back. Uh. I

0:15:53.160 --> 0:15:58.000
<v Speaker 1>don't know how I feel about that. You know, it's

0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:00.520
<v Speaker 1>his family. Probably could sell those change and get some

0:16:00.520 --> 0:16:03.560
<v Speaker 1>money if they needed. You know, I wouldn't ask for

0:16:03.840 --> 0:16:07.400
<v Speaker 1>Once I give somebody something, now, typically ask for it back.

0:16:08.320 --> 0:16:10.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean they're already gone, So who do you ask

0:16:10.880 --> 0:16:13.840
<v Speaker 1>for it back? Or was that a down payment on

0:16:13.960 --> 0:16:18.360
<v Speaker 1>his career? Why? Why? Why do they give the chains away? Anyway?

0:16:18.400 --> 0:16:22.200
<v Speaker 1>Like when the when the record give a chain, is

0:16:22.240 --> 0:16:26.680
<v Speaker 1>it a company car? It's a company car? Right based

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:29.840
<v Speaker 1>to give them to give them the acstatic that you

0:16:29.960 --> 0:16:33.800
<v Speaker 1>need to look like legit in the rap industry, you know,

0:16:34.520 --> 0:16:36.680
<v Speaker 1>and we know a lot of people rent jury all

0:16:36.680 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 1>the time. So just it's just like a rental while

0:16:39.280 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 1>you're with this group. Give that man back the jury to.

0:16:41.600 --> 0:16:43.440
<v Speaker 1>I believe they should give the jury back. I doubt

0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:48.160
<v Speaker 1>Gaucy Man sees this jury. He might as well just

0:16:48.160 --> 0:16:52.400
<v Speaker 1>just chuck it up as a loss. Yeah, let's just

0:16:52.440 --> 0:16:55.880
<v Speaker 1>still a still a conversation about drug use in our

0:16:55.960 --> 0:17:01.120
<v Speaker 1>black community. And because he died from prescription overdose, young

0:17:01.160 --> 0:17:07.920
<v Speaker 1>man and too, so it's a sad chain of events.

0:17:08.160 --> 0:17:11.960
<v Speaker 1>Rest in peace to this young man and be grateful

0:17:12.000 --> 0:17:14.400
<v Speaker 1>when somebody helps you. That's all I got to say.

0:17:14.400 --> 0:17:18.119
<v Speaker 1>On man. Yeah, this is real. It's real nasty what

0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:23.000

0:18:49.040 --> 0:18:53.320
<v Speaker 1>or anything. It's you know, um, in college, I had

0:18:53.359 --> 0:18:55.439
<v Speaker 1>my degree was in kinesiology and my minor was an

0:18:55.400 --> 0:19:00.439
<v Speaker 1>Africana studies um and I there's so many things that

0:19:00.480 --> 0:19:03.600
<v Speaker 1>I learned within the Africana Studies course that maybe just

0:19:03.640 --> 0:19:06.280
<v Speaker 1>want black. I don't want mixed race kids personally, I

0:19:06.880 --> 0:19:11.159
<v Speaker 1>just want black. Let's talk about it. And um, I

0:19:11.240 --> 0:19:14.639
<v Speaker 1>always felt like nobody can raise my child to be

0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:19.479
<v Speaker 1>black in America than a black man. So again, everybody

0:19:19.520 --> 0:19:21.560
<v Speaker 1>is beautiful though, you know every but for me, my

0:19:21.640 --> 0:19:23.680
<v Speaker 1>taste is like, you know, I like black man. Let's

0:19:23.680 --> 0:19:26.600
<v Speaker 1>talk about those studies. So what does that all entail?

0:19:26.680 --> 0:19:31.720
<v Speaker 1>Africa Africana studies? What is that exactly? So going into it,

0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:34.200
<v Speaker 1>I thought it was just gonna be like African American history,

0:19:34.240 --> 0:19:37.320
<v Speaker 1>but it's deeper than that. It's like the psychology, sociology.

0:19:37.560 --> 0:19:40.480
<v Speaker 1>It taught me like it broadened my view on how

0:19:40.640 --> 0:19:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I I interact with Africans within the diaspora. And when

0:19:46.400 --> 0:19:48.560
<v Speaker 1>I say that, I mean because I am Nigerian American,

0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:51.520
<v Speaker 1>my views on things are somewhat different from someone who

0:19:51.560 --> 0:19:53.879
<v Speaker 1>may be born and raised in America as African American

0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:56.919
<v Speaker 1>or somebody that's Caribbean. So um, it just gave me

0:19:56.960 --> 0:20:01.320
<v Speaker 1>a more a broad a broader understanding, and more sympathy too,

0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.840
<v Speaker 1>Like when I see certain things like I don't react

0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:05.800
<v Speaker 1>like oh my god, that's just like who does that

0:20:05.920 --> 0:20:08.360
<v Speaker 1>to me? It's like where, how did they grow up,

0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.880
<v Speaker 1>like what happened? Where did they come from? So it's

0:20:10.880 --> 0:20:13.080
<v Speaker 1>more like a broad up like a psychological thing as

0:20:13.080 --> 0:20:18.159
<v Speaker 1>well that goes into it. That's interesting. I'm on Clubhouse

0:20:18.200 --> 0:20:22.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot, and that's usually. Have you been on Clubhouse ever? Yes?

0:20:23.520 --> 0:20:28.119
<v Speaker 1>And you so you've seen the diaspor Awards on Clubhouse

0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:32.560
<v Speaker 1>essentially between Africans and Black American people. And I think

0:20:32.600 --> 0:20:34.680
<v Speaker 1>it's sad because, like it's funny enough, like my best

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:37.159
<v Speaker 1>friends for over ten years African Americans. I go to

0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:40.359
<v Speaker 1>their family reunions, they come to my Nigerian events, like

0:20:40.440 --> 0:20:42.600
<v Speaker 1>we don't even care. So when I see stuff like

0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:45.240
<v Speaker 1>that kind of breaks my heart because we're stronger together

0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:49.159
<v Speaker 1>than divide. And just because we I guess, you know,

0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:52.200
<v Speaker 1>different areas. I guess we come from different areas, doesn't

0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:56.800
<v Speaker 1>necessarily necessarily mean we're different culturally, yes, maybe, but like

0:20:56.840 --> 0:20:58.720
<v Speaker 1>if we just come together, look at black women are

0:20:58.800 --> 0:21:04.320
<v Speaker 1>killing it out here across the disk, you know what

0:21:04.359 --> 0:21:07.320
<v Speaker 1>I mean? So what better way to like not keep

0:21:07.359 --> 0:21:09.720
<v Speaker 1>us powerful than to just break us up instead of

0:21:09.800 --> 0:21:11.879
<v Speaker 1>us coming together? So I don't I don't really be

0:21:11.880 --> 0:21:14.320
<v Speaker 1>paying attention to stuff like that because I feel like

0:21:14.320 --> 0:21:17.800
<v Speaker 1>it's a lot of ignorance, that and a lot of

0:21:17.800 --> 0:21:22.399
<v Speaker 1>self hate from both parties. So yeah, so all right,

0:21:22.720 --> 0:21:24.680
<v Speaker 1>you say you only date black men, and I think

0:21:24.720 --> 0:21:27.239
<v Speaker 1>that's a lot for a lot of black women, Like

0:21:27.280 --> 0:21:29.520
<v Speaker 1>I only date black men. Do you date outside of that?

0:21:29.720 --> 0:21:32.760
<v Speaker 1>Have earlier on before I became a black panther, but

0:21:32.880 --> 0:21:36.520
<v Speaker 1>nowadays you know, I'm just saying no, Yeah, my preference

0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:40.879
<v Speaker 1>number one preference white. I mean, look, black men are

0:21:41.000 --> 0:21:45.920
<v Speaker 1>my number one preference. Yes, So do you feel like

0:21:46.240 --> 0:21:50.600
<v Speaker 1>with that it limits us from options? Especially you in

0:21:50.840 --> 0:21:54.879
<v Speaker 1>l A? Because what l A population is eight percent black?

0:21:55.840 --> 0:21:59.480
<v Speaker 1>I mean, like, how do I explain it? Like? I

0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:03.560
<v Speaker 1>don't think so, because they're gonna find me. Okay, Like

0:22:03.840 --> 0:22:07.240
<v Speaker 1>they're gonna find me. The only problem with it with

0:22:07.280 --> 0:22:10.280
<v Speaker 1>me is the way I talk. I noticed, Um, I

0:22:10.280 --> 0:22:11.760
<v Speaker 1>don't know if you guys can hear it, hear me?

0:22:11.880 --> 0:22:15.800
<v Speaker 1>I sound very valley, I've been told. So that's what

0:22:15.920 --> 0:22:17.879
<v Speaker 1>stumps me a lot from talking to black men in

0:22:18.040 --> 0:22:20.880
<v Speaker 1>l A because they automatically assume I only date white men.

0:22:21.280 --> 0:22:24.680
<v Speaker 1>Really interesting, so when you meet a black guy, they

0:22:24.760 --> 0:22:27.400
<v Speaker 1>assume that you only like black men verse I mean

0:22:27.400 --> 0:22:30.880
<v Speaker 1>white men versus black and and that's a thing that

0:22:30.960 --> 0:22:34.480
<v Speaker 1>makes you unattractive. No, I mean they just they don't.

0:22:34.840 --> 0:22:37.080
<v Speaker 1>They wouldn't pursue me. Like I remember I went to

0:22:37.080 --> 0:22:39.119
<v Speaker 1>Target one time and just one dude just came up

0:22:39.119 --> 0:22:41.280
<v Speaker 1>to me like they're beautiful or whatever, and then I

0:22:41.280 --> 0:22:42.879
<v Speaker 1>started speaking. He was like, you like the type the

0:22:42.880 --> 0:22:45.000
<v Speaker 1>only date white men. You sound like the type the

0:22:45.000 --> 0:22:49.399
<v Speaker 1>only dates white men. That's ignorant. So it was just

0:22:49.440 --> 0:22:55.879
<v Speaker 1>like I was like, mm hmm, that's yeah. That's so

0:22:56.240 --> 0:22:59.879
<v Speaker 1>that's definitely ignorant with ignorance within our own thing because

0:23:00.160 --> 0:23:04.159
<v Speaker 1>because of how someone's someone talks, so you automatically associate

0:23:04.240 --> 0:23:07.520
<v Speaker 1>that with smart. So is that a me problem, sir?

0:23:07.760 --> 0:23:11.439
<v Speaker 1>Or are you problem? If I sound white? Is what

0:23:11.480 --> 0:23:13.280
<v Speaker 1>he was trying to tell you, Right, that's the thing

0:23:13.320 --> 0:23:17.040
<v Speaker 1>we use in the black community. You sound white? Yeah,

0:23:17.119 --> 0:23:18.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean I got thought like, like I said, all

0:23:19.000 --> 0:23:21.720
<v Speaker 1>my life growing up, you really don't sound white to me, though,

0:23:21.760 --> 0:23:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Like you sound like you're from l A and a

0:23:24.400 --> 0:23:28.800
<v Speaker 1>black woman like black women have like this tone, you

0:23:28.840 --> 0:23:31.639
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm saying, Like, it's just like, you know,

0:23:31.720 --> 0:23:33.960
<v Speaker 1>what's a black woman? Okay, So I don't know what

0:23:34.000 --> 0:23:45.719
<v Speaker 1>are you're talking about? Yeah? So all right, I was

0:23:45.800 --> 0:23:48.120
<v Speaker 1>I was watching this video earlier, just trying to get

0:23:48.160 --> 0:23:51.199
<v Speaker 1>some information on like l A and you know, they

0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:53.399
<v Speaker 1>have some questions for you. And there was this black

0:23:53.400 --> 0:23:56.639
<v Speaker 1>woman saying that l A has a very self center

0:23:56.800 --> 0:23:59.920
<v Speaker 1>centered culture and that's why it's hard for black women there.

0:24:00.480 --> 0:24:03.240
<v Speaker 1>Would you agree with that person when you say self centered, Like,

0:24:03.440 --> 0:24:07.200
<v Speaker 1>do you mean like everybody feels like they're or something

0:24:07.240 --> 0:24:10.560
<v Speaker 1>like everybody feels like they're superstar type of thing. Yeah,

0:24:10.600 --> 0:24:13.880
<v Speaker 1>And everybody is very self absorbed, and it's hard to

0:24:14.280 --> 0:24:17.240
<v Speaker 1>meet anybody that's just really interested in anyone else because

0:24:17.240 --> 0:24:20.200
<v Speaker 1>they're so self absorbed. Like she was saying that, like

0:24:20.640 --> 0:24:24.760
<v Speaker 1>nobody says good morning, and nobody says, oh, you look nice.

0:24:25.200 --> 0:24:27.119
<v Speaker 1>It's just kind of everybody is all in tune with

0:24:27.160 --> 0:24:31.160
<v Speaker 1>theirselves and waiting on someone else to be I would say, men,

0:24:31.280 --> 0:24:34.520
<v Speaker 1>I've been complaining with my home girlths about this man

0:24:34.600 --> 0:24:38.320
<v Speaker 1>out here. How do I say this like so nicely?

0:24:41.560 --> 0:24:47.240
<v Speaker 1>You'll have to be nice. I have never, like I

0:24:47.280 --> 0:24:50.120
<v Speaker 1>could never in my mind experience like even think like

0:24:50.200 --> 0:24:51.800
<v Speaker 1>I would be going through some of the stuff I

0:24:51.800 --> 0:24:54.080
<v Speaker 1>went through with some of these men out here. Um,

0:24:54.240 --> 0:24:57.159
<v Speaker 1>they want to be the passenger princess. They want you to,

0:24:57.240 --> 0:24:58.520
<v Speaker 1>Like if you ask a man like why don't you

0:24:58.520 --> 0:25:00.119
<v Speaker 1>give me flowers and lay, they'll be like why when

0:25:00.160 --> 0:25:02.800
<v Speaker 1>you get me flocking? Or like you can go on

0:25:02.800 --> 0:25:04.639
<v Speaker 1>a date in l a and they will make you

0:25:04.680 --> 0:25:09.800
<v Speaker 1>pay half the meal on for the date. So dating

0:25:09.800 --> 0:25:11.840
<v Speaker 1>in lay is such a struggle because a lot of

0:25:11.960 --> 0:25:16.159
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what it is because it's maybe no,

0:25:16.359 --> 0:25:19.160
<v Speaker 1>they're just I don't know, like they just don't feel

0:25:19.200 --> 0:25:22.040
<v Speaker 1>like they need to put in the effort. And I

0:25:22.080 --> 0:25:25.000
<v Speaker 1>think that the problem is a lot of females nowadays,

0:25:25.040 --> 0:25:27.240
<v Speaker 1>like us, like a lot of women, we enabled that

0:25:27.320 --> 0:25:30.800
<v Speaker 1>behavior sometimes so they think it's okay. So like they'll

0:25:30.800 --> 0:25:32.360
<v Speaker 1>do it with the first girl and then they'll come

0:25:32.359 --> 0:25:37.200
<v Speaker 1>to somebody like me, and then it's more because it's

0:25:37.240 --> 0:25:39.160
<v Speaker 1>just like I'm not about to deal with that, you know,

0:25:39.760 --> 0:25:41.879
<v Speaker 1>So they just I don't know if it's it's not

0:25:41.920 --> 0:25:44.880
<v Speaker 1>because of money, it's I guess it's a self absorbed

0:25:44.880 --> 0:25:48.040
<v Speaker 1>They feel like, you know, I look good, I'm the prize.

0:25:48.080 --> 0:25:50.000
<v Speaker 1>You've gotta chase me too. I'm not just gonna put

0:25:50.040 --> 0:25:51.919
<v Speaker 1>in the effort, so I'm not going I'm not going

0:25:51.960 --> 0:25:55.240
<v Speaker 1>to do the most for you. So yeah, and like

0:25:55.280 --> 0:25:57.240
<v Speaker 1>I said, we enabled something, not us, but like some

0:25:57.280 --> 0:26:01.359
<v Speaker 1>women enabled the behavior because a self esteem may because

0:26:01.359 --> 0:26:04.719
<v Speaker 1>of insecurities. I don't know, but like I'm just not

0:26:04.840 --> 0:26:08.400
<v Speaker 1>with it. So I agree with that what she said.

0:26:09.080 --> 0:26:12.760
<v Speaker 1>So it's l A like the home. Others like what

0:26:12.880 --> 0:26:15.919
<v Speaker 1>the fund is happening in l A. All I know

0:26:16.080 --> 0:26:20.000
<v Speaker 1>is I don't. I personally find it very difficult to

0:26:20.080 --> 0:26:21.399
<v Speaker 1>day in l A. And I said, I will not

0:26:21.520 --> 0:26:23.399
<v Speaker 1>be dating in l A anymore. I will only be

0:26:23.480 --> 0:26:27.720
<v Speaker 1>doing long distance. It is not bad. I have left.

0:26:27.720 --> 0:26:33.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm done with l A and I'm only So are

0:26:33.160 --> 0:26:36.720
<v Speaker 1>black men in l A attracted to black women? I

0:26:36.720 --> 0:26:41.560
<v Speaker 1>want to say fifty fifty right? And I also like

0:26:41.680 --> 0:26:44.639
<v Speaker 1>it's it's hard because you know, growing up in l A,

0:26:44.720 --> 0:26:46.760
<v Speaker 1>you see a lot of mixed race women, and you

0:26:46.800 --> 0:26:48.480
<v Speaker 1>see a lot of white women, you know, and then

0:26:48.520 --> 0:26:51.120
<v Speaker 1>of course there's black women. And technically when you see

0:26:51.119 --> 0:26:53.160
<v Speaker 1>a black man, you see them in the arms of

0:26:53.200 --> 0:26:56.640
<v Speaker 1>a white woman or a mixed race girl. So like

0:26:57.040 --> 0:26:59.480
<v Speaker 1>some of them swear they love black women, but they

0:26:59.520 --> 0:27:02.960
<v Speaker 1>don't date us. And you see that play up like

0:27:03.000 --> 0:27:05.400
<v Speaker 1>play out a lot in l A. Like black Yeah,

0:27:05.440 --> 0:27:07.240
<v Speaker 1>I love black women on pro black This is not

0:27:07.280 --> 0:27:10.520
<v Speaker 1>blah blah blah blah blah. But then their girlfriends or

0:27:10.520 --> 0:27:12.840
<v Speaker 1>track records are all white or mixed race women, So

0:27:12.880 --> 0:27:15.480
<v Speaker 1>like to me, it's like, I don't know, like do

0:27:15.520 --> 0:27:17.320
<v Speaker 1>you really love us? Or do you love saying you

0:27:17.320 --> 0:27:20.879
<v Speaker 1>love us for attention? You know what I mean? Do

0:27:20.920 --> 0:27:22.920
<v Speaker 1>you love that we stand by you? Do you love

0:27:22.960 --> 0:27:25.160
<v Speaker 1>that we will take care of you? Because Black women

0:27:25.160 --> 0:27:27.919
<v Speaker 1>were very nurturing and when we are in love or

0:27:27.920 --> 0:27:30.440
<v Speaker 1>when we care, we we tend to hold our own

0:27:30.480 --> 0:27:34.000
<v Speaker 1>down and like where we ride, you know, So like

0:27:34.080 --> 0:27:35.840
<v Speaker 1>do you love the fact that you know that you

0:27:35.880 --> 0:27:38.080
<v Speaker 1>would if you're with us, that you you will have

0:27:38.119 --> 0:27:40.640
<v Speaker 1>a home and then you can go do something else,

0:27:40.960 --> 0:27:43.840
<v Speaker 1>you know? Or do you love your mom and sisters

0:27:43.840 --> 0:27:46.240
<v Speaker 1>who are actually black because your ass is black and

0:27:46.280 --> 0:27:48.520
<v Speaker 1>they look like you and those that are black women

0:27:48.560 --> 0:27:50.480
<v Speaker 1>you love? But when it comes to dating, you don't

0:27:50.520 --> 0:27:54.119
<v Speaker 1>like women who are esthetically black, you know, because a

0:27:54.240 --> 0:27:57.720
<v Speaker 1>mixed race woman would say I'm black, you know she

0:27:58.080 --> 0:28:02.880
<v Speaker 1>and she might be culturally black too, but aesthetically with

0:28:02.960 --> 0:28:08.840
<v Speaker 1>the like featurism perhaps more not lacking Black women personally.

0:28:08.840 --> 0:28:13.120
<v Speaker 1>Though I do date Africans, I'm like more I don't

0:28:13.119 --> 0:28:16.280
<v Speaker 1>do it on purpose subconsciously. I don't know why, well,

0:28:16.280 --> 0:28:19.000
<v Speaker 1>no I do. I'm Nigerian, so like subconsciously I go

0:28:19.119 --> 0:28:22.600
<v Speaker 1>towards like Nigerian men or African men, and it's because

0:28:23.280 --> 0:28:27.200
<v Speaker 1>again Nigerian African men. They the way we are raised

0:28:27.280 --> 0:28:30.399
<v Speaker 1>is the men are the provider's period, right, So like

0:28:30.520 --> 0:28:33.800
<v Speaker 1>going out on dates with um them or just even

0:28:33.800 --> 0:28:35.840
<v Speaker 1>planning a future, it's like, I know, like they like

0:28:35.880 --> 0:28:37.480
<v Speaker 1>I'll be cool, like I don't have to think about

0:28:37.600 --> 0:28:38.920
<v Speaker 1>or be worried about do I have to pull out

0:28:38.920 --> 0:28:41.240
<v Speaker 1>a wallet right now? You know what I mean? And

0:28:42.200 --> 0:28:44.760
<v Speaker 1>we they you know, dating an African man. They love

0:28:44.800 --> 0:28:46.960
<v Speaker 1>black women because we you know, we love our people.

0:28:47.400 --> 0:28:50.320
<v Speaker 1>And it's hard because you know, growing up in l A,

0:28:50.440 --> 0:28:54.000
<v Speaker 1>there's obviously like African Americans, it's Africans whatever. I got

0:28:54.080 --> 0:28:58.680
<v Speaker 1>bullied more growing up by African American boys and girls

0:28:58.680 --> 0:29:02.600
<v Speaker 1>then I did from white people. You know, like they

0:29:02.680 --> 0:29:05.960
<v Speaker 1>love black women. I don't know fifty fifty, but they don't.

0:29:06.160 --> 0:29:10.400
<v Speaker 1>It's it's very they don't show it. It's an insecurity

0:29:10.440 --> 0:29:14.880
<v Speaker 1>within themselves because imagine you're going through life intentionally trying

0:29:14.880 --> 0:29:18.480
<v Speaker 1>to recreate something that doesn't look like you or trying

0:29:18.480 --> 0:29:20.719
<v Speaker 1>to create something that doesn't look like you. So the

0:29:20.720 --> 0:29:22.480
<v Speaker 1>only way they can do that is not to be

0:29:22.560 --> 0:29:25.880
<v Speaker 1>with the black woman. This makes me think about um, y'all,

0:29:25.880 --> 0:29:28.520
<v Speaker 1>remember when Sweetie and too Short and not too Short

0:29:28.560 --> 0:29:31.280
<v Speaker 1>is fifty five years old, too shortest from California. He's

0:29:31.320 --> 0:29:35.080
<v Speaker 1>fur in the Bay Area. Sweetie is what. So he

0:29:35.200 --> 0:29:39.880
<v Speaker 1>was having a conversation with Sweetie saying, you know, mixed heritage.

0:29:40.000 --> 0:29:42.560
<v Speaker 1>He's always it's always been his favorite. That's usually who

0:29:42.560 --> 0:29:45.360
<v Speaker 1>he went with, right, Um, he's never been with just

0:29:45.400 --> 0:29:48.560
<v Speaker 1>a black woman. Um. And he was saying it like

0:29:49.040 --> 0:29:52.840
<v Speaker 1>two ugly people could come together and make a beautiful baby.

0:29:52.880 --> 0:29:56.120
<v Speaker 1>So in his mind, like, it has to be someone

0:29:56.160 --> 0:29:59.160
<v Speaker 1>outside of the black community to be a pretty person. Right,

0:29:59.200 --> 0:30:00.920
<v Speaker 1>So that's the problem with him. It has nothing to

0:30:00.920 --> 0:30:04.880
<v Speaker 1>do with black women. And he essentially essentially said like

0:30:04.960 --> 0:30:08.520
<v Speaker 1>that they did that to him, So his preference is

0:30:08.560 --> 0:30:14.000
<v Speaker 1>based on where he lives geographically essentially, and too Short

0:30:14.000 --> 0:30:16.560
<v Speaker 1>it's not fine. Let's be cleared. One of the ugly

0:30:16.560 --> 0:30:19.480
<v Speaker 1>people he's talking about is himself. So in order to

0:30:19.520 --> 0:30:22.600
<v Speaker 1>him not to recreate another one of two shorts, like,

0:30:22.720 --> 0:30:25.760
<v Speaker 1>he had to get a woman outside the black community,

0:30:25.760 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 1>in his mind. That starts a conversation about colorism and featurism.

0:30:30.800 --> 0:30:34.040
<v Speaker 1>And I feel like out in l A, like, um,

0:30:34.120 --> 0:30:38.120
<v Speaker 1>your proximity to whiteness is what makes you more beautiful.

0:30:38.200 --> 0:30:42.600
<v Speaker 1>It seems like, or like your proximity to whiteness with

0:30:43.120 --> 0:30:45.719
<v Speaker 1>a hint of black features like the full lips and

0:30:45.720 --> 0:30:49.880
<v Speaker 1>the full I've got a lot of on some white women,

0:30:50.000 --> 0:30:53.800
<v Speaker 1>brown women, it was like they they they they love

0:30:54.120 --> 0:30:57.280
<v Speaker 1>nigga ship, but they don't like niggas. That's what I see.

0:30:57.840 --> 0:30:59.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean like growing up in l A right like

0:30:59.800 --> 0:31:02.080
<v Speaker 1>it's a majority of what you see is white and mixed.

0:31:02.800 --> 0:31:05.080
<v Speaker 1>It's it's crazy because I never thought I was ugly

0:31:05.080 --> 0:31:08.320
<v Speaker 1>growing up, but I did feel out of place. I

0:31:08.840 --> 0:31:12.040
<v Speaker 1>felt like, um, if I didn't have curly hair or

0:31:12.280 --> 0:31:16.040
<v Speaker 1>I wasn't damn near passing, I wouldn't get any attention,

0:31:16.040 --> 0:31:18.760
<v Speaker 1>which is true because in college and know in high school,

0:31:19.000 --> 0:31:23.760
<v Speaker 1>middle school, I wasn't nobody liked me like nobody liked me.

0:31:24.440 --> 0:31:26.280
<v Speaker 1>The black guys would make fun of me. I was

0:31:26.320 --> 0:31:29.760
<v Speaker 1>told my lips look like pillow clouds or whatever, like

0:31:29.920 --> 0:31:35.600
<v Speaker 1>people get lips and like I I what I do

0:31:35.680 --> 0:31:38.520
<v Speaker 1>love about this generation is that we're moving kind of

0:31:38.560 --> 0:31:40.480
<v Speaker 1>away from that a little bit, and we're now like

0:31:40.600 --> 0:31:44.720
<v Speaker 1>embracing how beautiful black is, you know, And I really

0:31:44.720 --> 0:31:46.520
<v Speaker 1>really love that, and like it makes me excited to

0:31:46.520 --> 0:31:47.960
<v Speaker 1>have children in the future where I know that I

0:31:47.960 --> 0:31:50.000
<v Speaker 1>can bring them into a society where I don't have

0:31:50.160 --> 0:31:53.000
<v Speaker 1>to have that talk with my daughter, Like, you know what,

0:31:53.280 --> 0:31:54.920
<v Speaker 1>these kids are good to make fun of you for

0:31:54.960 --> 0:31:57.680
<v Speaker 1>this because of your hair not being as curly like

0:31:57.760 --> 0:32:00.000
<v Speaker 1>this or straight as their's, you know what I mean.

0:32:00.520 --> 0:32:04.320
<v Speaker 1>But growing up it was rough. Like I played soccer,

0:32:04.520 --> 0:32:06.240
<v Speaker 1>you know, always the black girl on the team. And

0:32:06.240 --> 0:32:08.560
<v Speaker 1>I remember one time in the soccer game, somebody was

0:32:08.600 --> 0:32:13.160
<v Speaker 1>like get the negro what And I'm not joking, and

0:32:13.280 --> 0:32:16.800
<v Speaker 1>my heart dropped like midst I I don't know, like

0:32:16.920 --> 0:32:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I just remember everything just went slow motion for me,

0:32:19.640 --> 0:32:21.200
<v Speaker 1>and my dad had to pick me up, get me

0:32:21.240 --> 0:32:23.240
<v Speaker 1>from the field. Like my dad was like, we have

0:32:23.320 --> 0:32:27.120
<v Speaker 1>to go home, and I just completely stopped. And I

0:32:27.160 --> 0:32:28.640
<v Speaker 1>was only black girl on the team, you know, black

0:32:28.640 --> 0:32:31.440
<v Speaker 1>girl playing soccer. This not and all I see our

0:32:31.520 --> 0:32:34.560
<v Speaker 1>white faces around me and like or I never saw

0:32:34.600 --> 0:32:36.120
<v Speaker 1>color like that in a sense, Like I was just

0:32:36.120 --> 0:32:38.320
<v Speaker 1>playing soccer. I'm just playing games with my friends. But

0:32:38.440 --> 0:32:42.520
<v Speaker 1>that moment I realized I am not one of them,

0:32:43.120 --> 0:32:45.160
<v Speaker 1>Like they did not see me as an equal part

0:32:45.280 --> 0:32:47.800
<v Speaker 1>at all. They see me as a black girl playing

0:32:47.840 --> 0:32:49.560
<v Speaker 1>soccer with them, and that is it. I am not

0:32:49.640 --> 0:32:52.960
<v Speaker 1>an ally or whatever. I'm just a black girl running

0:32:52.960 --> 0:32:58.560
<v Speaker 1>on the field. I was you say twelve eleven twelve

0:32:58.800 --> 0:33:01.400
<v Speaker 1>was like the first time I e Arrian's like real

0:33:01.440 --> 0:33:08.600
<v Speaker 1>life racism, like aet the Negro. Oh my god, Like yeah,

0:33:10.080 --> 0:33:14.600
<v Speaker 1>like my whole body just went Negro and tears just

0:33:14.600 --> 0:33:16.840
<v Speaker 1>started coming out. And my dad, like I said, came

0:33:16.840 --> 0:33:19.080
<v Speaker 1>on that field. My daddy's like a six something African

0:33:19.080 --> 0:33:23.080
<v Speaker 1>man straight Nigeria from Nigeria, accident all came picked me up,

0:33:23.160 --> 0:33:25.600
<v Speaker 1>was like we're going home, Like you didn't get the fight?

0:33:25.920 --> 0:33:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Did you continue to play that? I continue to play

0:33:28.120 --> 0:33:31.720
<v Speaker 1>with that. Like soccer in general, I loved soccer. I

0:33:31.920 --> 0:33:33.959
<v Speaker 1>that was one of my passions. Um. I didn't let

0:33:33.960 --> 0:33:37.440
<v Speaker 1>it stop me. It actually fueled me because I was like, okay,

0:33:37.600 --> 0:33:39.320
<v Speaker 1>like I'm gonna be the best at this point, like

0:33:39.640 --> 0:33:41.239
<v Speaker 1>this is what it is. I'm I'm gonna run all

0:33:41.320 --> 0:33:44.280
<v Speaker 1>y'all over, which is what this negrol gonn whoop y'all

0:33:44.320 --> 0:33:48.800
<v Speaker 1>lads out here. That's what I did, Like, I this hard.

0:33:48.920 --> 0:33:51.720
<v Speaker 1>My dad would take me to extra trainings, traveling, and

0:33:51.800 --> 0:33:53.440
<v Speaker 1>I was like one of the best players, and it

0:33:53.480 --> 0:33:56.160
<v Speaker 1>was like that was the moment when I was like, yeah,

0:33:56.240 --> 0:33:57.600
<v Speaker 1>you just see me as another black girl. So I'm

0:33:57.600 --> 0:34:01.560
<v Speaker 1>gonna have to work at hard. So that's that's the

0:34:01.600 --> 0:34:06.240
<v Speaker 1>white kids. So the black people who tease you, right,

0:34:06.800 --> 0:34:09.000
<v Speaker 1>were they and I'm just trying to get someplace right quick?

0:34:09.080 --> 0:34:11.480
<v Speaker 1>Were they light skin or dark skin? Like? Where was

0:34:11.480 --> 0:34:15.760
<v Speaker 1>it the dark skinned guys that would tease you? Yeah? Okay,

0:34:15.800 --> 0:34:18.200
<v Speaker 1>So I have a friend, right, My friend is very

0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:21.440
<v Speaker 1>very light skinned and she gets a lot of like

0:34:22.640 --> 0:34:25.960
<v Speaker 1>a lot of hate online from brown skin dark skinned women,

0:34:26.080 --> 0:34:28.960
<v Speaker 1>I mean just and she has two black parents, but

0:34:29.080 --> 0:34:32.279
<v Speaker 1>she's very fair complexing. Her father was really light her

0:34:32.360 --> 0:34:36.120
<v Speaker 1>dad and her mom is dark skinned Jamaican. Right, So

0:34:36.160 --> 0:34:38.319
<v Speaker 1>anytime somebody has a problem with her, the first thing

0:34:38.360 --> 0:34:41.600
<v Speaker 1>they're saying is, bit, you ain't even black, Bit you

0:34:41.719 --> 0:34:44.120
<v Speaker 1>just dad and up And she said, you know, and

0:34:44.160 --> 0:34:45.960
<v Speaker 1>she's older than us, right, she's in her fifties. She

0:34:46.040 --> 0:34:48.359
<v Speaker 1>was like, you know, I don't remember this being a

0:34:48.400 --> 0:34:55.160
<v Speaker 1>thing when light skinn niggas was in style. So she no,

0:34:56.040 --> 0:34:59.919
<v Speaker 1>she doesn't. She doesn't remember colorism being a thing when

0:35:00.120 --> 0:35:03.440
<v Speaker 1>light skinned niggas was in style. It wasn't until everybody

0:35:03.520 --> 0:35:07.600
<v Speaker 1>was you know, I want tall, dark and handsome. Everybody's

0:35:07.640 --> 0:35:11.600
<v Speaker 1>picking them now and they're like the you know, I

0:35:11.640 --> 0:35:14.320
<v Speaker 1>guess the top of the totem pole. Everybody wants a

0:35:14.360 --> 0:35:16.759
<v Speaker 1>black man. You know what I'm saying. Light skinned men

0:35:17.000 --> 0:35:21.920
<v Speaker 1>catch hate and heat all the time. So is it

0:35:21.960 --> 0:35:25.759
<v Speaker 1>because like dark skinned men are now like the it

0:35:26.680 --> 0:35:30.560
<v Speaker 1>why black women are experiencing colorism because light skin men,

0:35:30.640 --> 0:35:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Like everybody, I attract light skin men. I've always liked

0:35:34.800 --> 0:35:37.360
<v Speaker 1>dark skin man. Yeah, we that's our preference. We like brown,

0:35:37.440 --> 0:35:40.799
<v Speaker 1>dark skin men. I always or at least like color

0:35:40.840 --> 0:35:43.799
<v Speaker 1>and darker. But to go like we are good to go,

0:35:44.040 --> 0:35:46.760
<v Speaker 1>you know what I mean? Um, I don't know, because

0:35:46.800 --> 0:35:48.799
<v Speaker 1>like I said, growing up, I would I wouldn't say

0:35:48.800 --> 0:35:50.480
<v Speaker 1>it's mostly dark skinned. I think it was a mixture,

0:35:50.520 --> 0:35:54.000
<v Speaker 1>but it was it was predominantly dark skinned. Um with them,

0:35:54.040 --> 0:35:56.120
<v Speaker 1>I mean, black men are always it for me though,

0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:58.120
<v Speaker 1>Like I just felt like they were always popping for

0:35:58.239 --> 0:36:01.480
<v Speaker 1>every woman. I never remember a time when black men

0:36:01.520 --> 0:36:05.319
<v Speaker 1>were not like well that's because you're only twenty five.

0:36:05.480 --> 0:36:14.400
<v Speaker 1>There was a time when light skins growing up, like

0:36:14.440 --> 0:36:17.040
<v Speaker 1>all the girls with like googly eyed over the black guys,

0:36:17.120 --> 0:36:18.960
<v Speaker 1>and the black guys, will you know look the other

0:36:19.000 --> 0:36:21.000
<v Speaker 1>way towards me, They're like, get out of my face.

0:36:21.040 --> 0:36:24.279
<v Speaker 1>I don't want you. I don't want the latinas, I

0:36:24.280 --> 0:36:27.440
<v Speaker 1>don't want the white girl. So I don't know. And

0:36:27.480 --> 0:36:29.919
<v Speaker 1>it's because probably because they got teased for being dark.

0:36:30.360 --> 0:36:32.840
<v Speaker 1>So now and then, it's just kind of weird because

0:36:33.080 --> 0:36:35.720
<v Speaker 1>dark skinned people will go out their way to create

0:36:35.920 --> 0:36:38.040
<v Speaker 1>light skinned people. They create the light skin people that

0:36:38.080 --> 0:36:42.360
<v Speaker 1>they hate. So this is like the other side of colorism.

0:36:42.440 --> 0:36:45.719
<v Speaker 1>Do you see what I'm saying. Yeah, I've never seen

0:36:45.719 --> 0:36:48.760
<v Speaker 1>I never saw it like that. That's wow. Who created

0:36:48.800 --> 0:36:52.360
<v Speaker 1>light skinned people? White people? But I mean we perpetuated

0:36:52.480 --> 0:36:54.920
<v Speaker 1>in our community. You know, in Africa, everybody comes to

0:36:54.960 --> 0:36:57.880
<v Speaker 1>different colors. I don't know why. I here is the

0:36:58.040 --> 0:37:01.160
<v Speaker 1>thing like it's especially so we're gonna take it to

0:37:01.239 --> 0:37:04.319
<v Speaker 1>Nigeria real quick. Right Ebo people, Right, the Ebo people,

0:37:04.760 --> 0:37:07.319
<v Speaker 1>a lot of them are light skin naturally, like very

0:37:07.440 --> 0:37:12.279
<v Speaker 1>light skinned. So I don't know, I can't necessarily say

0:37:12.280 --> 0:37:16.239
<v Speaker 1>white people created we like ed might have started with them,

0:37:16.280 --> 0:37:18.880
<v Speaker 1>like with the house Negro, the field Negro, this that,

0:37:18.960 --> 0:37:21.880
<v Speaker 1>and the third right. But within the black community, we

0:37:22.040 --> 0:37:28.040
<v Speaker 1>definitely uh continue pushing it, the colorism and racism within

0:37:28.080 --> 0:37:33.600
<v Speaker 1>our own race m amongst each other. Yeah, we do that. Yeah,

0:37:33.920 --> 0:37:36.400
<v Speaker 1>we give things hierarchy, like the light skin girl like

0:37:36.440 --> 0:37:40.640
<v Speaker 1>even so what's sweetie? And too short? So Sweetie, I

0:37:40.640 --> 0:37:42.839
<v Speaker 1>watched the video one day, and Sweetie, she looked so

0:37:42.920 --> 0:37:47.200
<v Speaker 1>uncomfortable with him saying these things. But how else do

0:37:47.280 --> 0:37:49.839
<v Speaker 1>you elevate her without knocking these people down? Is what

0:37:49.880 --> 0:37:52.359
<v Speaker 1>he was doing. So you're knocking down the regular black woman,

0:37:52.440 --> 0:37:54.880
<v Speaker 1>the brown skinl this and we're beautiful, you know what

0:37:54.920 --> 0:37:59.000
<v Speaker 1>I'm saying. Skin just even saying the regular black woman,

0:37:59.239 --> 0:38:02.400
<v Speaker 1>she's not regular, she's just she's a black woman. That

0:38:02.520 --> 0:38:04.799
<v Speaker 1>doesn't make it, you know, it's like knocking down the

0:38:04.880 --> 0:38:09.759
<v Speaker 1>regular black But she's mixed, Sweetie is like Korean or

0:38:09.800 --> 0:38:13.080
<v Speaker 1>something in black. She's not completely black, right, So what

0:38:13.120 --> 0:38:16.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm talking about is just a black woman who identifies

0:38:16.360 --> 0:38:19.000
<v Speaker 1>as a black woman, who has two black parents, not mixed.

0:38:19.640 --> 0:38:21.400
<v Speaker 1>When I say a regular black woman, So I'm not

0:38:21.480 --> 0:38:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm not calling black women regular by any means, but

0:38:25.880 --> 0:38:28.520
<v Speaker 1>she was clearly because she identifies as a black woman.

0:38:28.600 --> 0:38:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Sweet identifies as a black woman. Again, I always say this.

0:38:31.000 --> 0:38:33.200
<v Speaker 1>You know, black to me is not a race, is

0:38:33.239 --> 0:38:37.520
<v Speaker 1>not a color. It is literally a culture. Okay, you

0:38:37.560 --> 0:38:41.600
<v Speaker 1>can identify with the black culture. But we have had

0:38:41.640 --> 0:38:44.880
<v Speaker 1>all these different, different definitions assigned to us in Black America,

0:38:45.200 --> 0:38:47.000
<v Speaker 1>which is why I think I love the fact that

0:38:47.080 --> 0:38:49.080
<v Speaker 1>you actually studied this in school, which a lot of

0:38:49.080 --> 0:38:53.000
<v Speaker 1>people probably should so they can have a better understanding

0:38:53.040 --> 0:38:55.439
<v Speaker 1>of what's going on and this and this hair equal

0:38:55.520 --> 0:38:58.360
<v Speaker 1>system because it is different. It's different in Africa, is

0:38:58.400 --> 0:39:01.080
<v Speaker 1>different here. Even though we're the same people, they're there

0:39:01.080 --> 0:39:04.360
<v Speaker 1>are people in Africa who may not consider themselves black.

0:39:04.600 --> 0:39:07.759
<v Speaker 1>They identify what whatever tribe they come from, you know,

0:39:08.680 --> 0:39:13.799
<v Speaker 1>so would would they consider themselves black though, Like I'm

0:39:13.840 --> 0:39:17.200
<v Speaker 1>not black, I'm Ebo. No, you'd be like, I'm still black.

0:39:17.239 --> 0:39:20.920
<v Speaker 1>I'm just I mean, I think it depends when you're

0:39:20.960 --> 0:39:24.680
<v Speaker 1>talking to you, like I'm Urba and Ebo so like,

0:39:25.840 --> 0:39:28.120
<v Speaker 1>but out like when I'm like when i'm you know,

0:39:28.360 --> 0:39:30.360
<v Speaker 1>in Atlanta, I just say I'm a black girl unless

0:39:30.400 --> 0:39:33.960
<v Speaker 1>you ask me, like what I like in America? Yeah,

0:39:34.040 --> 0:39:37.040
<v Speaker 1>if you're in in Africa. Would that be the same

0:39:37.080 --> 0:39:40.480
<v Speaker 1>thing though, if you were back home. I mean, we

0:39:40.600 --> 0:39:42.279
<v Speaker 1>just I don't. I don't. I don't know because I

0:39:42.320 --> 0:39:44.040
<v Speaker 1>guess we're all black, so we're just kind of like,

0:39:44.160 --> 0:39:46.200
<v Speaker 1>you know, where are you from? I'm Ruba, what do you?

0:39:46.239 --> 0:39:47.920
<v Speaker 1>Where do you? I'm Ebo, so kind of I think,

0:39:48.680 --> 0:39:51.680
<v Speaker 1>go buy your tribes. I guess like I don't ever

0:39:51.680 --> 0:39:53.759
<v Speaker 1>actually heard anybody, and I'd be like, I'm a black girl.

0:39:54.040 --> 0:39:55.879
<v Speaker 1>Like they just be like, I'm an Ebo girl. I'm

0:39:56.800 --> 0:39:59.799
<v Speaker 1>because most people are black, So it's like it would

0:40:00.080 --> 0:40:02.359
<v Speaker 1>it wouldn't be a determining factor. I wish we could

0:40:02.400 --> 0:40:05.440
<v Speaker 1>get away from saying black and African American. I really

0:40:05.480 --> 0:40:07.319
<v Speaker 1>wish we could get away from that. But we don't

0:40:07.360 --> 0:40:09.279
<v Speaker 1>have a tribe. A lot of people don't have a

0:40:09.280 --> 0:40:12.360
<v Speaker 1>tribe to associate themselves with. We could create some ship

0:40:12.640 --> 0:40:16.040
<v Speaker 1>or there. There there are tribes you probably can trace

0:40:16.120 --> 0:40:18.280
<v Speaker 1>your lineage back to, so that we can get away

0:40:18.360 --> 0:40:22.319
<v Speaker 1>from that, you know, from using those terms. But that's

0:40:22.320 --> 0:40:25.319
<v Speaker 1>what it's a big thing. That's what people needhould go by.

0:40:25.719 --> 0:40:32.120
<v Speaker 1>Mm hmm. Yeah, I don't know. Should y'all have a

0:40:32.120 --> 0:40:34.759
<v Speaker 1>good time where I definitely when I saw everybody in

0:40:34.920 --> 0:40:39.360
<v Speaker 1>uh Ayana this past New Year's and I know Ghana

0:40:39.920 --> 0:40:45.400
<v Speaker 1>they're offering people citizenship even even outside of Dati December,

0:40:45.440 --> 0:40:48.040
<v Speaker 1>Like just go, like go doing this on my time.

0:40:48.040 --> 0:40:50.480
<v Speaker 1>I want to say, like June, it's beautiful. Africa is

0:40:50.520 --> 0:40:53.120
<v Speaker 1>fun like West Africa. Let me I don't let me

0:40:53.120 --> 0:40:55.040
<v Speaker 1>not talk about all of Africa. I'm West African and

0:40:55.040 --> 0:40:56.680
<v Speaker 1>I have never been to South Africa before, but I

0:40:56.760 --> 0:40:59.600
<v Speaker 1>know it's beautiful down there. But Nigeria is fun like

0:40:59.719 --> 0:41:02.520
<v Speaker 1>nine Jia. You will have a good time obviously, like

0:41:02.600 --> 0:41:05.840
<v Speaker 1>be safe, but like the people are welcoming, the food

0:41:06.080 --> 0:41:10.520
<v Speaker 1>is good. M hmm. What about that yellow fever vaccine?

0:41:10.560 --> 0:41:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Can I go without you? So you have to get

0:41:12.480 --> 0:41:15.240
<v Speaker 1>a yellow fever vaccine? But it's I don't me personally.

0:41:15.239 --> 0:41:16.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't think it's a big deal because I've had

0:41:16.640 --> 0:41:19.040
<v Speaker 1>it since I was a kid, you know what I mean. Um,

0:41:19.080 --> 0:41:21.680
<v Speaker 1>But I think it's to protect you because like you

0:41:21.719 --> 0:41:24.000
<v Speaker 1>have to also remember we're going to a new continent,

0:41:24.360 --> 0:41:28.480
<v Speaker 1>right so like when I got um, I had COVID

0:41:28.480 --> 0:41:31.000
<v Speaker 1>when I got into Nigeria one time, COVID mixed with malaria.

0:41:31.280 --> 0:41:34.160
<v Speaker 1>It's not a game. It is not a game like

0:41:35.040 --> 0:41:37.279
<v Speaker 1>because it's it's I don't know how explain it. It's

0:41:38.680 --> 0:41:42.239
<v Speaker 1>we also don't have the same medical assistance as in

0:41:42.280 --> 0:41:45.520
<v Speaker 1>America in Nigeria, so when you get sick, like you're

0:41:45.560 --> 0:41:47.200
<v Speaker 1>really like, it's just it's just not a game. Get

0:41:47.200 --> 0:41:50.360
<v Speaker 1>the vaccine. What I'm gonna say it was, Yeah, that

0:41:50.440 --> 0:41:56.360
<v Speaker 1>was terrible. I'll get the paperwork. Let's be clear. I

0:41:57.160 --> 0:42:01.439
<v Speaker 1>know a guy because that was fair about traveling. Damn,

0:42:01.440 --> 0:42:02.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm never going to make it to Africa now if

0:42:03.000 --> 0:42:06.759
<v Speaker 1>I gotta get all these vaccines, like, I'm not for it. Yeah,

0:42:06.880 --> 0:42:11.680
<v Speaker 1>me neither. But you know, I'm not like against some vaccines,

0:42:11.760 --> 0:42:14.440
<v Speaker 1>like new as vaccines that haven't been tested for a

0:42:14.440 --> 0:42:17.200
<v Speaker 1>long time. I'm against those, but like the yellow fever

0:42:17.320 --> 0:42:20.200
<v Speaker 1>vaccine has been wild for a while around for a while, right,

0:42:20.560 --> 0:42:24.439
<v Speaker 1>But because I have MS, I don't think yellow fever

0:42:24.560 --> 0:42:26.960
<v Speaker 1>vaccine is good for me, you know. Like so I'm

0:42:27.000 --> 0:42:29.000
<v Speaker 1>not sure. Maybe you can talk to somebody about it,

0:42:29.040 --> 0:42:31.800
<v Speaker 1>but I've gotten named, My brothers have gotten there. Everybody

0:42:31.800 --> 0:42:34.560
<v Speaker 1>I know that goes back home gets it, so they

0:42:34.640 --> 0:42:37.080
<v Speaker 1>get nothing. I'm trying to go out there and see

0:42:37.120 --> 0:42:39.239
<v Speaker 1>what the men talking about, because I know they like

0:42:39.560 --> 0:42:42.000
<v Speaker 1>big booties out there and I got one of the women.

0:42:42.120 --> 0:42:47.200
<v Speaker 1>Nigerian men are beautiful. Yeah, we're gonna have to import

0:42:47.239 --> 0:42:51.280
<v Speaker 1>one from some place because the black men in America

0:42:51.440 --> 0:42:54.399
<v Speaker 1>do not. I won't say they don't. Okay, let's let's

0:42:54.440 --> 0:42:57.160
<v Speaker 1>stop generalizing a little bit, but when we speak about

0:42:57.200 --> 0:42:59.400
<v Speaker 1>these things, they act like it doesn't exist. I was

0:42:59.400 --> 0:43:01.799
<v Speaker 1>watching a Holst on your page, Effie, and I saw

0:43:01.840 --> 0:43:05.480
<v Speaker 1>a guy commented it was like that's cap and her

0:43:05.600 --> 0:43:07.520
<v Speaker 1>p o V. Was, you're a black woman trying to

0:43:07.600 --> 0:43:10.680
<v Speaker 1>date in l A and a black man is basically

0:43:10.760 --> 0:43:14.919
<v Speaker 1>like dismissing that you know as not true and that's

0:43:14.920 --> 0:43:17.640
<v Speaker 1>our experience. To me, like reading comments like that sometimes

0:43:17.680 --> 0:43:19.560
<v Speaker 1>like I don't know how you're gonna dismiss my experience

0:43:19.560 --> 0:43:22.359
<v Speaker 1>as a black woman, because when you're a black man,

0:43:22.440 --> 0:43:24.040
<v Speaker 1>like you don't even like what are you talking about?

0:43:24.560 --> 0:43:26.239
<v Speaker 1>Like you're not experiencing what I have to go through.

0:43:26.560 --> 0:43:28.279
<v Speaker 1>You're part of the problem. Like what do you mean

0:43:28.320 --> 0:43:31.560
<v Speaker 1>If you're not acknowledging the issues we're bringing forward, then

0:43:31.600 --> 0:43:33.560
<v Speaker 1>you're not helping. You're not a solution. You're part of

0:43:33.560 --> 0:43:35.799
<v Speaker 1>the problem that you're not trying to you're not trying

0:43:35.800 --> 0:43:37.279
<v Speaker 1>to learn. You're not trying to do better, You're just

0:43:37.320 --> 0:43:39.719
<v Speaker 1>trying to fight. You're being defensive, you know what I mean.

0:43:40.320 --> 0:43:43.440
<v Speaker 1>So that's my experience dating in l A Like it's

0:43:43.520 --> 0:43:45.960
<v Speaker 1>kind of just like it's like you have to tiptoe

0:43:46.719 --> 0:43:49.279
<v Speaker 1>kind of like, hey, do you like black I said

0:43:49.320 --> 0:43:51.360
<v Speaker 1>that on the episode. I said, I think Black women

0:43:51.360 --> 0:43:53.560
<v Speaker 1>are the only group of women when we see an

0:43:53.560 --> 0:43:56.600
<v Speaker 1>attractive man, like somebody we would date, because we always,

0:43:56.719 --> 0:43:59.120
<v Speaker 1>you know, fantasize in our minds when we see somebody

0:43:59.440 --> 0:44:02.359
<v Speaker 1>like what's your am data birth? I need all that ship, right,

0:44:02.960 --> 0:44:04.880
<v Speaker 1>But we're the only group of women that have to

0:44:04.920 --> 0:44:08.880
<v Speaker 1>say damn, I wonder if he likes women. Damn, I

0:44:08.960 --> 0:44:11.960
<v Speaker 1>wonder if he likes Black women, Like we actually have

0:44:12.120 --> 0:44:16.480
<v Speaker 1>to have like run down those internal questions when we

0:44:16.520 --> 0:44:18.919
<v Speaker 1>see a guy that's attractive. I don't think any group

0:44:18.920 --> 0:44:20.960
<v Speaker 1>of women have to do like white women don't have

0:44:21.040 --> 0:44:23.120
<v Speaker 1>to say damn, I wonder if he likes white women

0:44:25.719 --> 0:44:29.560
<v Speaker 1>because their men are not marrying outside of their you know,

0:44:29.640 --> 0:44:32.480
<v Speaker 1>outside of the race. Are you talking about with other

0:44:32.560 --> 0:44:37.319
<v Speaker 1>white men, Yeah, there men. You know, black men they're

0:44:37.360 --> 0:44:42.080
<v Speaker 1>at the top with marrying outside of their community. They

0:44:42.080 --> 0:44:46.400
<v Speaker 1>are so it's it's it's black men and white women,

0:44:47.280 --> 0:44:50.759
<v Speaker 1>and then, um, this is a statistic I read and

0:44:50.800 --> 0:44:53.000
<v Speaker 1>so it said like the marriages that actually last the

0:44:53.040 --> 0:44:56.920
<v Speaker 1>longest are black women and Asian men, which I think

0:44:56.920 --> 0:45:02.720
<v Speaker 1>about that really I would, I don't know, Like that's shocking.

0:45:02.719 --> 0:45:05.359
<v Speaker 1>I didn't. I didn't know that so Asian men are

0:45:05.400 --> 0:45:08.440
<v Speaker 1>like the least sought after while Black men are at

0:45:08.480 --> 0:45:12.200
<v Speaker 1>like at the top, and Black women are at least.

0:45:12.320 --> 0:45:15.240
<v Speaker 1>I feel like it's changing, though, Like I really genuinely

0:45:15.239 --> 0:45:18.799
<v Speaker 1>feel like it's changing, like I I maybe I don't

0:45:18.800 --> 0:45:21.320
<v Speaker 1>know what it is. I just feel like now people

0:45:21.320 --> 0:45:23.279
<v Speaker 1>are starting to really see the beauty and us, which

0:45:23.360 --> 0:45:26.120
<v Speaker 1>is sad that it's taken so long and there's still growth,

0:45:26.360 --> 0:45:28.360
<v Speaker 1>you know. Like I'm not saying like we are the

0:45:28.360 --> 0:45:29.880
<v Speaker 1>most sought out there, like we are the most like

0:45:29.920 --> 0:45:31.920
<v Speaker 1>people see us as the most amazing, which they should.

0:45:32.080 --> 0:45:34.279
<v Speaker 1>But I do think a change has happened. There has

0:45:34.320 --> 0:45:38.040
<v Speaker 1>been a shift because I'm going online and I'm seeing

0:45:38.080 --> 0:45:41.240
<v Speaker 1>so many people talking like dating black women, wanting black women,

0:45:41.239 --> 0:45:43.799
<v Speaker 1>craving us. I don't know if it's a fetish. I

0:45:43.840 --> 0:45:48.080
<v Speaker 1>don't even amongst women, you think it's a metish. I mean, no,

0:45:48.239 --> 0:45:51.880
<v Speaker 1>I don't. I don't. I don't know. Can you feel it?

0:45:53.719 --> 0:45:56.400
<v Speaker 1>In l A? I feel like I don't feel unattractive

0:45:56.400 --> 0:46:00.560
<v Speaker 1>in l A, I feel fat And in Charlotte, UM think,

0:46:01.280 --> 0:46:04.879
<v Speaker 1>l A, I'm the fat girl? Why are you? I

0:46:04.920 --> 0:46:07.520
<v Speaker 1>was like this this, you know what it's like that girl,

0:46:07.880 --> 0:46:09.799
<v Speaker 1>like that girl when she walked in, I was like,

0:46:09.920 --> 0:46:19.399
<v Speaker 1>oh no, no, she's to toe like just bomb, thank

0:46:19.440 --> 0:46:22.160
<v Speaker 1>you friend. But see it is women we look at

0:46:22.160 --> 0:46:24.239
<v Speaker 1>each other like that. How are the men saying? I

0:46:24.239 --> 0:46:26.200
<v Speaker 1>feel like they're starting to, Like, I feel like there's

0:46:26.239 --> 0:46:28.480
<v Speaker 1>men that really do appreciate us like I will not.

0:46:28.680 --> 0:46:33.560
<v Speaker 1>I can't say, like a lot of black men are right,

0:46:34.200 --> 0:46:35.960
<v Speaker 1>It's like there's something that you know that are just

0:46:36.000 --> 0:46:38.040
<v Speaker 1>like ill black women whatever. But there's some that will

0:46:38.080 --> 0:46:41.839
<v Speaker 1>genuinely appreciate a beautiful black woman. But of course it's

0:46:41.840 --> 0:46:43.560
<v Speaker 1>like fighting. It's like a needle in a haystack. Because

0:46:43.560 --> 0:46:45.759
<v Speaker 1>I feel that didn't you have somebody say something real

0:46:45.840 --> 0:46:50.040
<v Speaker 1>disparaging about you? Tammy recently from another podcast, who's actually

0:46:50.080 --> 0:46:54.040
<v Speaker 1>on this network kind of in in partnership, Cassie, Yeah,

0:46:54.480 --> 0:46:58.120
<v Speaker 1>so is this guy? And I thought he was taking

0:46:58.160 --> 0:47:02.440
<v Speaker 1>some interest in me honestly, and he says he's not

0:47:02.520 --> 0:47:06.640
<v Speaker 1>interested in dating unless the woman looks like Cassie. And

0:47:06.680 --> 0:47:09.439
<v Speaker 1>I was so offended by the delusion when people say

0:47:09.480 --> 0:47:11.560
<v Speaker 1>stuff like that, like I just want them to like,

0:47:11.640 --> 0:47:13.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, I want to pop that little delusional bubble

0:47:13.600 --> 0:47:15.160
<v Speaker 1>and like bring them back to reality because it be

0:47:15.200 --> 0:47:17.799
<v Speaker 1>the most basic face looking niggad that says it. Who

0:47:18.040 --> 0:47:20.560
<v Speaker 1>is a girl like that want you? Who says like who?

0:47:20.640 --> 0:47:22.160
<v Speaker 1>How do we know? Like what if you don't want

0:47:22.160 --> 0:47:25.960
<v Speaker 1>you don't have exactly. I don't think men consider that.

0:47:26.000 --> 0:47:28.239
<v Speaker 1>They think if they like you, you automatically like them,

0:47:28.239 --> 0:47:31.160
<v Speaker 1>as if women don't have the right to have preference.

0:47:31.920 --> 0:47:36.160
<v Speaker 1>It's delusion, Yes, it's but we're the ones that need

0:47:36.200 --> 0:47:38.560
<v Speaker 1>to bring it down and not really men are way

0:47:38.560 --> 0:47:41.760
<v Speaker 1>more shallow than women. And you can all people argue

0:47:41.800 --> 0:47:43.600
<v Speaker 1>with me about that ship all the time, but you're

0:47:43.600 --> 0:47:47.120
<v Speaker 1>not going to catch a fine ass dude with an

0:47:47.280 --> 0:47:50.759
<v Speaker 1>ugly woman. I mean, I know women date men for

0:47:50.840 --> 0:47:53.640
<v Speaker 1>different things, different reasons, but you can always catch a

0:47:53.719 --> 0:47:56.680
<v Speaker 1>fine ass woman with a nigga who's challenged in the

0:47:56.760 --> 0:48:02.279
<v Speaker 1>face because that money whatever else. No, I know, like,

0:48:02.400 --> 0:48:06.040
<v Speaker 1>there's this girl and she was very this person but

0:48:06.320 --> 0:48:11.160
<v Speaker 1>she was aesthetically challenged, That's what I'll say. And she

0:48:11.320 --> 0:48:15.279
<v Speaker 1>had this fine asked man I'm talking about he was gorgeous,

0:48:15.400 --> 0:48:18.360
<v Speaker 1>and I'm like, that's some boy funck. I mean, she

0:48:18.440 --> 0:48:20.600
<v Speaker 1>has this popping on her face while you're talking, kind

0:48:20.600 --> 0:48:25.319
<v Speaker 1>of girl like like, Oh, that's what I go for.

0:48:25.440 --> 0:48:28.000
<v Speaker 1>I'd be going for personality. No, I found out what

0:48:28.040 --> 0:48:31.400
<v Speaker 1>it was because she has adult personality. But she was tricking.

0:48:31.560 --> 0:48:35.120
<v Speaker 1>She was big, tricking on she was big, y'all. Remember

0:48:35.160 --> 0:48:38.480
<v Speaker 1>that this went viral on social media. But and this

0:48:38.560 --> 0:48:42.640
<v Speaker 1>goes outside of the colorism discussion, but remember it was

0:48:42.680 --> 0:48:47.240
<v Speaker 1>a girl. She was like, um, men date big women,

0:48:47.560 --> 0:48:49.759
<v Speaker 1>like when they don't have their ship together. You don't

0:48:49.760 --> 0:48:53.480
<v Speaker 1>remember that podcast there was a woman saying it. It

0:48:53.600 --> 0:48:57.399
<v Speaker 1>was a woman saying because the bigger women I get,

0:48:57.400 --> 0:49:00.200
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, they may take care of men, and

0:49:00.239 --> 0:49:02.719
<v Speaker 1>that might be a thing, just the same way why

0:49:02.760 --> 0:49:04.680
<v Speaker 1>I think some black men go to white women to

0:49:04.719 --> 0:49:08.160
<v Speaker 1>be taken care of, but not it has to be

0:49:08.239 --> 0:49:10.640
<v Speaker 1>a big woman with low self esteem because I know

0:49:10.719 --> 0:49:14.560
<v Speaker 1>some Listen, I got mine many times. That's where I

0:49:14.600 --> 0:49:16.840
<v Speaker 1>got my ex is always cheating with a big bitch

0:49:16.960 --> 0:49:19.560
<v Speaker 1>and like big pretty bitches. It got to the point

0:49:19.680 --> 0:49:21.560
<v Speaker 1>where I would be in target. I'm seeing a big,

0:49:21.680 --> 0:49:24.719
<v Speaker 1>light skinned pretty girl, and I'm like, I'm mad at

0:49:24.760 --> 0:49:27.240
<v Speaker 1>her because I know my nigga. Fuck Like, I'm mad,

0:49:28.320 --> 0:49:30.680
<v Speaker 1>I'm holding grudges against somebody who don't even know me

0:49:30.880 --> 0:49:34.840
<v Speaker 1>nor my man, but because he'd be cheating on me

0:49:34.920 --> 0:49:39.200
<v Speaker 1>with these big bitches, Like, I'm like mad, So I

0:49:39.280 --> 0:49:42.200
<v Speaker 1>disagree with that, lady, because you know, it just depends

0:49:42.239 --> 0:49:48.080
<v Speaker 1>on preference, you know, I like, I like, I genuinely

0:49:48.080 --> 0:49:49.959
<v Speaker 1>fall in love with people for their personality and their soul,

0:49:50.160 --> 0:49:53.600
<v Speaker 1>Like I like, you know, like if you are a

0:49:53.640 --> 0:49:55.880
<v Speaker 1>good man and you have a good heart and you

0:49:55.880 --> 0:50:01.600
<v Speaker 1>are family oriented, I will give you a chance. But see,

0:50:01.640 --> 0:50:04.480
<v Speaker 1>that's that's women. Women be like, he grew on me.

0:50:04.800 --> 0:50:10.600
<v Speaker 1>You ain't never nigga saying she grew on him. Women

0:50:10.640 --> 0:50:14.560
<v Speaker 1>do that. Men do not do that. They're bit he

0:50:14.719 --> 0:50:19.879
<v Speaker 1>liked her from the first Women, men definitely, uh are

0:50:20.000 --> 0:50:24.920
<v Speaker 1>more visual characters and more visual Women date men for

0:50:25.000 --> 0:50:27.960
<v Speaker 1>different things, you know, not just looks. That's not at

0:50:27.960 --> 0:50:29.920
<v Speaker 1>the top of our list. But me as a woman

0:50:29.920 --> 0:50:33.440
<v Speaker 1>with no children, and y'all should also consider this. I

0:50:33.480 --> 0:50:35.759
<v Speaker 1>had a middle school teacher tell me that, you know,

0:50:35.800 --> 0:50:38.280
<v Speaker 1>if you ugly, you're gonna have a hard time in life.

0:50:38.360 --> 0:50:41.480
<v Speaker 1>He really told us that in middle school. And we

0:50:41.600 --> 0:50:46.279
<v Speaker 1>also know what colorism, uh, socialism, all those things. We

0:50:46.360 --> 0:50:51.520
<v Speaker 1>have pretty privilege right now. I'm not saying I need

0:50:51.560 --> 0:50:57.040
<v Speaker 1>the finest man out here, right but I also don't

0:50:57.120 --> 0:51:01.560
<v Speaker 1>want my children to be super aesthetically challenged because I

0:51:01.600 --> 0:51:10.080
<v Speaker 1>love the nigger aesthetically challenging this term. I'm sorry somebody

0:51:10.120 --> 0:51:14.239
<v Speaker 1>left the left the uh A remark on um the

0:51:14.280 --> 0:51:16.160
<v Speaker 1>show because I said, you know, I like to hang

0:51:16.200 --> 0:51:19.840
<v Speaker 1>around pretty women. I know y'all, y'all have been around

0:51:19.880 --> 0:51:22.120
<v Speaker 1>not so cute women are usually the ones that's the

0:51:22.239 --> 0:51:25.640
<v Speaker 1>maddest when you join all the funship a lot of

0:51:25.680 --> 0:51:28.680
<v Speaker 1>times you know, in the group. So just to keep

0:51:28.719 --> 0:51:31.320
<v Speaker 1>down on that, like what I mean. And also again

0:51:31.320 --> 0:51:33.600
<v Speaker 1>it's in the eye of the beholder. Like my friend

0:51:33.600 --> 0:51:35.120
<v Speaker 1>could very well, I could be ugly to a lot

0:51:35.160 --> 0:51:36.640
<v Speaker 1>of people. My friend could be ugly to people, But

0:51:36.640 --> 0:51:39.960
<v Speaker 1>to me, these bitches is fine. So that's this is

0:51:40.000 --> 0:51:41.799
<v Speaker 1>what I meant by that. But we're not gonna act

0:51:41.880 --> 0:51:46.600
<v Speaker 1>like pretty privileged doesn't It doesn't exist, It really does.

0:51:47.120 --> 0:51:48.920
<v Speaker 1>I went to the courthouse with a pillow in my

0:51:49.000 --> 0:51:51.160
<v Speaker 1>pocket the other day and I forgot and I did

0:51:51.160 --> 0:51:54.120
<v Speaker 1>not go to jail. And I did not go to jail, y'all.

0:51:54.920 --> 0:51:56.440
<v Speaker 1>I did not go to jail. I was supposed to

0:51:56.480 --> 0:52:00.400
<v Speaker 1>be locked. The man asked me, the police asked me

0:52:00.400 --> 0:52:02.520
<v Speaker 1>for my phone number and told me to go back

0:52:02.600 --> 0:52:06.399
<v Speaker 1>to my car. Stupid, he said, take that gun back

0:52:06.440 --> 0:52:10.120
<v Speaker 1>to your car. Stupid. But I did not know pretty.

0:52:10.680 --> 0:52:12.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm growing up. I didn't think I ever had a

0:52:12.960 --> 0:52:16.880
<v Speaker 1>pretty privilege, like like at all. Like I've seen it

0:52:16.920 --> 0:52:19.480
<v Speaker 1>work for like again, lighter skinning girls and everything, but

0:52:19.560 --> 0:52:21.760
<v Speaker 1>I never, like I said, I never thought I was ugly.

0:52:21.840 --> 0:52:24.800
<v Speaker 1>But I never thought I met the standards of beauty

0:52:24.840 --> 0:52:27.319
<v Speaker 1>out here, you know what I mean? Growing now, Like

0:52:27.360 --> 0:52:29.000
<v Speaker 1>when I get like when people heap me up and

0:52:29.000 --> 0:52:30.680
<v Speaker 1>be like you're so beautiful, it's not like it's so

0:52:30.719 --> 0:52:33.960
<v Speaker 1>hard for me to like read it sometimes because like

0:52:34.600 --> 0:52:37.280
<v Speaker 1>I was never told that growing up from my parents,

0:52:37.360 --> 0:52:40.200
<v Speaker 1>YE have se you know, family, but like from society,

0:52:40.239 --> 0:52:43.000
<v Speaker 1>I was never told that. I was told, you got

0:52:43.000 --> 0:52:45.560
<v Speaker 1>a big nose, your eyes are far apart, your lips

0:52:45.560 --> 0:52:48.560
<v Speaker 1>are too big, you're you're you're you're not thin, you're

0:52:48.640 --> 0:52:51.359
<v Speaker 1>you're thicker, like you know, so pretty privilege is real,

0:52:51.400 --> 0:52:54.040
<v Speaker 1>but I never I felt like I never experienced pretty

0:52:54.040 --> 0:52:57.719
<v Speaker 1>privilege living in l A until I've gotten older. And

0:52:57.840 --> 0:53:00.160
<v Speaker 1>I think pretty privilege also starts from within. When I

0:53:00.200 --> 0:53:02.919
<v Speaker 1>started believing that I was it like I was bad

0:53:02.960 --> 0:53:05.239
<v Speaker 1>that I was before I carried myself with that confidence,

0:53:05.880 --> 0:53:08.920
<v Speaker 1>I started that like other people started looking at me

0:53:08.960 --> 0:53:11.560
<v Speaker 1>with it like the same way. But it's hard to

0:53:11.600 --> 0:53:14.399
<v Speaker 1>develop that confidence when you're around people that don't look

0:53:14.400 --> 0:53:16.920
<v Speaker 1>like you and are praised for looking the way they do,

0:53:17.160 --> 0:53:21.080
<v Speaker 1>and you are basically look down for making the way

0:53:21.320 --> 0:53:23.920
<v Speaker 1>you look. It's nothing you about it at such a

0:53:24.000 --> 0:53:27.759
<v Speaker 1>young age, you know, so pretty for real. But I

0:53:27.760 --> 0:53:30.040
<v Speaker 1>feel like it also stems from inside. If you believe

0:53:30.120 --> 0:53:32.200
<v Speaker 1>that you are like the baddest and you carry yourself

0:53:32.200 --> 0:53:34.440
<v Speaker 1>with that utmost confidence and you walk into the room

0:53:34.480 --> 0:53:36.560
<v Speaker 1>even if you look a mess, if you believe that

0:53:36.600 --> 0:53:43.120
<v Speaker 1>you are bad people in that same energy, you know,

0:53:43.160 --> 0:53:47.080
<v Speaker 1>I five, you know, yeah, confidence is your best that

0:53:47.239 --> 0:53:52.120
<v Speaker 1>you carry. Really it is, even even if you're faking it.

0:53:53.000 --> 0:53:54.600
<v Speaker 1>Take that smile to make it. And I always tell

0:53:54.600 --> 0:53:56.640
<v Speaker 1>people like another female, like people will not see me

0:53:56.680 --> 0:53:59.040
<v Speaker 1>sweat out here, like you're not. No girl can get

0:53:59.120 --> 0:54:01.280
<v Speaker 1>under my skin. I'll cry a house. Listen, I'll crying

0:54:01.320 --> 0:54:04.759
<v Speaker 1>my bed. But when I'm outside you you can't catch

0:54:04.800 --> 0:54:07.000
<v Speaker 1>me like do not because people take that as weakness

0:54:07.000 --> 0:54:10.560
<v Speaker 1>and I am not awake. You know period, you know period,

0:54:10.880 --> 0:54:12.560
<v Speaker 1>you will not treat me as such. Yeah, so that

0:54:12.600 --> 0:54:15.879
<v Speaker 1>I mean, but that attitude takes developing, right, So we're

0:54:15.880 --> 0:54:18.759
<v Speaker 1>talking about like things that happened as a child, like yeah,

0:54:18.920 --> 0:54:23.239
<v Speaker 1>like that that built this now this beautiful woman, this

0:54:23.440 --> 0:54:28.839
<v Speaker 1>character that that exudes all as bad bitches. Um okay,

0:54:29.160 --> 0:54:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I don't know how we fight that though. For the

0:54:31.680 --> 0:54:37.360
<v Speaker 1>younger girls, I don't know. He started. We start telling

0:54:37.360 --> 0:54:40.560
<v Speaker 1>them at a young age that they are it, they

0:54:40.560 --> 0:54:43.120
<v Speaker 1>are beautiful. We start letting. We start getting them dolls

0:54:43.120 --> 0:54:45.399
<v Speaker 1>that look like them. That's what my father, my dad

0:54:45.400 --> 0:54:47.279
<v Speaker 1>would get me, black dolls. My dad is my that

0:54:47.400 --> 0:54:49.480
<v Speaker 1>is my best friend. I love him to pieces. But

0:54:49.680 --> 0:54:52.799
<v Speaker 1>we start and we started showing more representation. We start

0:54:52.800 --> 0:54:55.560
<v Speaker 1>showing them role model. So growing up, my father would

0:54:55.560 --> 0:54:58.799
<v Speaker 1>always show me condolesa rice and he would be like

0:54:59.239 --> 0:55:01.560
<v Speaker 1>this woman just out of that, she's been she's a government,

0:55:01.600 --> 0:55:03.239
<v Speaker 1>she's just you. You can be like that. You can

0:55:03.320 --> 0:55:06.239
<v Speaker 1>you can be powerful? You know? And I started, you know,

0:55:06.360 --> 0:55:08.120
<v Speaker 1>like I'm hearing it from my father. This is somebody

0:55:08.200 --> 0:55:09.880
<v Speaker 1>I love dearly, this is somebody I look up to.

0:55:10.320 --> 0:55:11.840
<v Speaker 1>So when we start feeding it to them at a

0:55:11.840 --> 0:55:14.719
<v Speaker 1>young agent, and even in schools, making sure that they

0:55:14.760 --> 0:55:19.000
<v Speaker 1>see teachers that look like them, they see doctors, that's

0:55:19.040 --> 0:55:21.920
<v Speaker 1>how we start getting the confidence up, because when you're

0:55:21.960 --> 0:55:25.120
<v Speaker 1>not seeing people like I was. For example, my university,

0:55:25.200 --> 0:55:27.400
<v Speaker 1>we have a thirty percent dropout rate by second semester

0:55:27.480 --> 0:55:30.319
<v Speaker 1>for African American students. And when I asked some of

0:55:30.360 --> 0:55:32.640
<v Speaker 1>these people like why are you leaving? One with money?

0:55:32.680 --> 0:55:34.600
<v Speaker 1>Financial too, is like I don't feel like I belonged here,

0:55:34.640 --> 0:55:36.840
<v Speaker 1>Like what's the point of me doing this? There's nobody.

0:55:36.880 --> 0:55:39.640
<v Speaker 1>There's no teachers that look like me. There's there's nobody.

0:55:39.640 --> 0:55:41.680
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, well, that's why you're here, so

0:55:41.760 --> 0:55:43.919
<v Speaker 1>you can create that for the next generation. I don't

0:55:43.960 --> 0:55:47.400
<v Speaker 1>know what school it was or was it in the Midwest,

0:55:48.440 --> 0:55:52.160
<v Speaker 1>but the black they started a black step group. Did

0:55:52.239 --> 0:55:55.000
<v Speaker 1>you see that? It was USC So it's a lot

0:55:55.040 --> 0:55:58.080
<v Speaker 1>of controversy surrounding that because it's like, why don't you

0:55:58.239 --> 0:56:01.719
<v Speaker 1>just go to an HBCU, right as opposed to bring

0:56:01.719 --> 0:56:05.520
<v Speaker 1>in HBCU culture to a p W. I I wanted

0:56:05.520 --> 0:56:07.480
<v Speaker 1>to go to the hbc U I did. I wanted

0:56:07.520 --> 0:56:11.160
<v Speaker 1>to go to Howard because my father went to Howard UM.

0:56:11.200 --> 0:56:13.400
<v Speaker 1>But then at the same time, I didn't want to

0:56:13.400 --> 0:56:15.239
<v Speaker 1>go to Howard because I got bullied a lot from

0:56:15.680 --> 0:56:17.319
<v Speaker 1>you know, by black people, and I was just like,

0:56:17.760 --> 0:56:19.600
<v Speaker 1>I was scared. I was like, if I go, what

0:56:19.680 --> 0:56:23.120
<v Speaker 1>if I'm not accepted. And I was accepted more by,

0:56:23.320 --> 0:56:25.799
<v Speaker 1>like I said, my white peers. So I was just like, yo,

0:56:25.880 --> 0:56:29.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm just gonna I mean, if I experienced racism here,

0:56:29.080 --> 0:56:34.919
<v Speaker 1>it's like I can handle that. I can't. I feel

0:56:34.920 --> 0:56:37.360
<v Speaker 1>like I'm too scared to handle rejection from my own people.

0:56:38.440 --> 0:56:40.520
<v Speaker 1>I can't because I wouldn't even know how to fight that.

0:56:40.560 --> 0:56:41.960
<v Speaker 1>Like I would just be like how do I can't

0:56:42.040 --> 0:56:44.080
<v Speaker 1>change myself, Like this is what it is. And it

0:56:44.160 --> 0:56:45.880
<v Speaker 1>may not have been like that if I actually want

0:56:45.920 --> 0:56:47.160
<v Speaker 1>it may not be like that at all, but I

0:56:47.160 --> 0:56:50.040
<v Speaker 1>already had that instilled in my head. Yeah, the values

0:56:50.120 --> 0:56:53.160
<v Speaker 1>within the black man in America, they just have to change.

0:56:53.560 --> 0:56:56.840
<v Speaker 1>It's like not cool to be smart, right, It's not

0:56:56.960 --> 0:57:00.439
<v Speaker 1>cool to have not grown up in the hood. Um,

0:57:00.480 --> 0:57:02.600
<v Speaker 1>I used to get teased. Not well, nobody could ever

0:57:02.640 --> 0:57:04.160
<v Speaker 1>tease me because I got an hour at the stand

0:57:04.280 --> 0:57:06.840
<v Speaker 1>up comedy for anybody. And that's been since first grade.

0:57:07.200 --> 0:57:09.040
<v Speaker 1>But I remember being on the school bus when our

0:57:09.719 --> 0:57:12.440
<v Speaker 1>bus started picking up a neighborhood across the street. They

0:57:12.480 --> 0:57:13.879
<v Speaker 1>would be in the back of the bus like, y'all

0:57:13.880 --> 0:57:16.040
<v Speaker 1>don't even got no trash on your street? Like what

0:57:18.240 --> 0:57:20.640
<v Speaker 1>you're talking ship to us, because we don't have trash

0:57:20.800 --> 0:57:23.600
<v Speaker 1>on our streets. And you know, you can live in

0:57:23.600 --> 0:57:25.600
<v Speaker 1>the hood, it doesn't have to look like it though.

0:57:26.280 --> 0:57:27.840
<v Speaker 1>You can live in a hood and then you still

0:57:27.880 --> 0:57:30.400
<v Speaker 1>take care of your community. That's what it balls down to.

0:57:30.960 --> 0:57:33.320
<v Speaker 1>Who cares that it's low income? It doesn't have to

0:57:33.520 --> 0:57:36.960
<v Speaker 1>look like low income. And that's just something that we

0:57:37.080 --> 0:57:40.120
<v Speaker 1>have to work on as a collective in America because

0:57:40.120 --> 0:57:42.760
<v Speaker 1>we don't. We don't. We don't, uh, black and Black

0:57:42.800 --> 0:57:46.120
<v Speaker 1>Americans don't have enough pride. I think we don't have

0:57:46.240 --> 0:57:50.280
<v Speaker 1>enough pride in being black. We say we do, but

0:57:50.400 --> 0:57:53.320
<v Speaker 1>we don't have enough. We say it, but it is

0:57:53.360 --> 0:58:02.439
<v Speaker 1>it actually exuded, you know, physically exactly black lives. Yeah,

0:58:02.480 --> 0:58:04.600
<v Speaker 1>because you know, why why does a student come from

0:58:04.680 --> 0:58:07.640
<v Speaker 1>Africa and then because I hear this, I have other

0:58:07.680 --> 0:58:10.800
<v Speaker 1>friends that are also African and they have the same stories, like,

0:58:11.200 --> 0:58:12.919
<v Speaker 1>you know, they grew up hanging out with the white

0:58:13.000 --> 0:58:16.080
<v Speaker 1>kids because they were teased by the black kids, you know.

0:58:16.640 --> 0:58:18.920
<v Speaker 1>And now as adults we could kind of flip that

0:58:18.960 --> 0:58:20.920
<v Speaker 1>a little bit and say, hey, they come up with

0:58:20.960 --> 0:58:24.840
<v Speaker 1>all type of words from Black Americans African adults, right,

0:58:24.880 --> 0:58:27.360
<v Speaker 1>so now it's kind of like it's cool to be

0:58:27.440 --> 0:58:30.440
<v Speaker 1>from Africa. Now, put you the chiky on to go

0:58:30.520 --> 0:58:33.960
<v Speaker 1>watch Black Panther and ship like that. But you tease kids,

0:58:34.280 --> 0:58:35.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, when you were younger. So I mean, it's

0:58:35.920 --> 0:58:41.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a part of a growing um just people. Um,

0:58:41.280 --> 0:58:43.280
<v Speaker 1>it's it's a lot of self hate. Ship. We just

0:58:43.320 --> 0:58:46.840
<v Speaker 1>have to work through and it and it's the things

0:58:46.840 --> 0:58:48.840
<v Speaker 1>that you were taught. Because I ain't gonna lie. When

0:58:48.880 --> 0:58:52.960
<v Speaker 1>I was a little kid, I never did. I never

0:58:53.000 --> 0:58:55.640
<v Speaker 1>ever did it. But we it would be back and forth.

0:58:55.720 --> 0:58:59.160
<v Speaker 1>It wouldn't be just me. Yeah, it would be like

0:58:59.760 --> 0:59:02.200
<v Speaker 1>they talking ship too, you know, and it was like

0:59:02.320 --> 0:59:04.720
<v Speaker 1>different ship that I didn't understand. And that's why I did.

0:59:04.880 --> 0:59:07.720
<v Speaker 1>Like because I walked into they were they had came

0:59:07.800 --> 0:59:10.520
<v Speaker 1>they were washing their feet in the sink at school,

0:59:10.760 --> 0:59:13.560
<v Speaker 1>and being a black American, I had never seen that.

0:59:13.680 --> 0:59:15.520
<v Speaker 1>So I was like, bitch, get your foot out the sint.

0:59:15.840 --> 0:59:17.720
<v Speaker 1>But I didn't know what. You know, it was part

0:59:17.760 --> 0:59:19.680
<v Speaker 1>of their culture. I don't know what why they were

0:59:19.680 --> 0:59:23.480
<v Speaker 1>doing it. And I do remember like saying, bitch, get

0:59:23.520 --> 0:59:28.480
<v Speaker 1>your foot out the saint. I'm sorry I remember saying that.

0:59:28.560 --> 0:59:32.400
<v Speaker 1>But so I can't understand where why someone would grow

0:59:32.480 --> 0:59:36.160
<v Speaker 1>up as an African in America and be like y'all,

0:59:36.360 --> 0:59:38.720
<v Speaker 1>it's like I get it sometimes when like the Africans

0:59:38.720 --> 0:59:40.240
<v Speaker 1>are like you know, A B and C. I get

0:59:40.280 --> 0:59:42.840
<v Speaker 1>it and like because like you know, we've all dealt

0:59:42.880 --> 0:59:45.320
<v Speaker 1>with well as an African child, like we all dealt

0:59:45.360 --> 0:59:49.320
<v Speaker 1>with some type of discrimination because we are African. Um.

0:59:49.320 --> 0:59:52.160
<v Speaker 1>But again, Africana Studies has opened my eyes a little

0:59:52.200 --> 0:59:55.480
<v Speaker 1>bit and people be like, oh, Nigerian's or Africans think

0:59:55.480 --> 0:59:57.600
<v Speaker 1>they're better than us. We're not. We don't think we're better,

0:59:57.600 --> 1:00:00.760
<v Speaker 1>but just prideful people because imagine and coming here and

1:00:00.800 --> 1:00:05.520
<v Speaker 1>then getting bullied and ridiculed by everybody by some random

1:00:05.560 --> 1:00:08.520
<v Speaker 1>bits talking about why you're fooding. We just have so

1:00:08.600 --> 1:00:10.480
<v Speaker 1>much pride within ourselves and we love our culture and

1:00:10.480 --> 1:00:12.960
<v Speaker 1>we love ourselves so much that you can't break us down.

1:00:13.280 --> 1:00:16.160
<v Speaker 1>So we have we we we are very prideful people,

1:00:16.240 --> 1:00:18.560
<v Speaker 1>you know. And like if I'll tell anybody, I'm proud

1:00:18.600 --> 1:00:21.000
<v Speaker 1>to be a Nigerian, Like there's there's I love that

1:00:21.040 --> 1:00:23.600
<v Speaker 1>about myself. So like when I see people say like, oh,

1:00:23.600 --> 1:00:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Africans are they think they're better, It's like, no, we

1:00:25.720 --> 1:00:28.720
<v Speaker 1>don't think we're better. We we are just proud. We're

1:00:28.840 --> 1:00:31.480
<v Speaker 1>very prideful people because when our parents came here and

1:00:31.520 --> 1:00:34.000
<v Speaker 1>they were knocked down, When we go to school and

1:00:34.000 --> 1:00:37.280
<v Speaker 1>we're bullied, we can't just break. There's none of there's

1:00:37.280 --> 1:00:39.200
<v Speaker 1>none of that breaking in an African household. There's none

1:00:39.200 --> 1:00:41.160
<v Speaker 1>of that. If I tell my mom my dad this

1:00:41.200 --> 1:00:42.840
<v Speaker 1>guy called me ugly, my dad would looking at my face,

1:00:42.840 --> 1:00:45.440
<v Speaker 1>but like are you ugly? And that's it. That is

1:00:45.480 --> 1:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>the end of it. There's no going to school, there's

1:00:47.000 --> 1:00:48.840
<v Speaker 1>no going teacher, there's none of that. Like you gotta

1:00:49.040 --> 1:00:53.000
<v Speaker 1>tough en up. So it's I'm glad that you know

1:00:53.040 --> 1:00:54.480
<v Speaker 1>you talked about it, like how you used to be

1:00:54.560 --> 1:00:56.600
<v Speaker 1>the one to make um talk, to make fun of

1:00:56.640 --> 1:00:59.280
<v Speaker 1>the Africans. Because the step, the first step to healing

1:00:59.480 --> 1:01:03.920
<v Speaker 1>is not which man and like understanding. So like I,

1:01:04.200 --> 1:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>like I said, I've been bullying. I was president of

1:01:05.720 --> 1:01:08.040
<v Speaker 1>b as she in high school, the black I was

1:01:08.120 --> 1:01:11.640
<v Speaker 1>impeached because I wasn't black enough. What is black enough?

1:01:12.160 --> 1:01:14.000
<v Speaker 1>So hold on what? Yeah, because I want to hear

1:01:14.120 --> 1:01:16.640
<v Speaker 1>what did they say that we're not really black? So

1:01:16.680 --> 1:01:19.280
<v Speaker 1>you couldn't identify? You do not with what it was

1:01:19.320 --> 1:01:21.480
<v Speaker 1>to be black Americans? Yes, exactly there, like you don't

1:01:21.560 --> 1:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>understand us, so why should you be the president of

1:01:24.720 --> 1:01:28.280
<v Speaker 1>black student union? And that broke me because people got

1:01:28.320 --> 1:01:30.720
<v Speaker 1>that like we gotta let that hate and that hurt go.

1:01:31.480 --> 1:01:33.320
<v Speaker 1>That's all it is. They're just a lot of hurt.

1:01:33.520 --> 1:01:37.200
<v Speaker 1>But I was never did it. I was never. I

1:01:37.320 --> 1:01:39.360
<v Speaker 1>was I was never because the way my father raised

1:01:39.400 --> 1:01:42.960
<v Speaker 1>me is to love everyone. My dad went to Howard University.

1:01:43.000 --> 1:01:45.040
<v Speaker 1>He's a Nigerian man. If you if you ever meet

1:01:45.080 --> 1:01:50.200
<v Speaker 1>this man, six something, dark skinned African man, Nigerian accent everything.

1:01:50.640 --> 1:01:52.560
<v Speaker 1>But he always told me he was like I dealt

1:01:52.560 --> 1:01:54.720
<v Speaker 1>with the same thing, but we can't be angry because

1:01:54.720 --> 1:01:58.000
<v Speaker 1>they just don't know and some people have different you know,

1:01:58.720 --> 1:02:00.560
<v Speaker 1>you know, perspective on that. But that tell my father

1:02:00.640 --> 1:02:05.560
<v Speaker 1>raised me and my mother you know, so, yeah, are

1:02:05.600 --> 1:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>your parents? Are you asking? You trying to get at

1:02:07.400 --> 1:02:11.680
<v Speaker 1>her daddy? Look it's been Look I'm literally over here

1:02:11.800 --> 1:02:14.720
<v Speaker 1>calculating I had an abortion as this team, this bitch

1:02:14.720 --> 1:02:17.560
<v Speaker 1>could have been my child. I could definitely funk with

1:02:17.600 --> 1:02:20.280
<v Speaker 1>her daddy. Like I'm literally calculating out in my mind.

1:02:20.360 --> 1:02:25.640
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry, fraid I wasn't a girl. I ain't trying

1:02:25.640 --> 1:02:28.400
<v Speaker 1>to funk your daddy. I don't know what people man

1:02:28.440 --> 1:02:30.880
<v Speaker 1>who married a you're about woman, brought her to l

1:02:30.920 --> 1:02:35.800
<v Speaker 1>A and gave her house, gave her the kids. Yes,

1:02:35.960 --> 1:02:39.040
<v Speaker 1>that's beautiful. And see that's why you have the mindset

1:02:39.040 --> 1:02:41.640
<v Speaker 1>that you have. You come from a two parent household.

1:02:41.680 --> 1:02:45.280
<v Speaker 1>I just really feel like that's so important that we grow.

1:02:45.480 --> 1:02:48.080
<v Speaker 1>We raised our children in it too. That's another thing

1:02:48.080 --> 1:02:51.720
<v Speaker 1>that's not more valued. We're trying. We're trying to get there.

1:02:51.760 --> 1:02:54.560
<v Speaker 1>That's why it's hard. Dating is hard, Like it's because

1:02:54.560 --> 1:02:56.640
<v Speaker 1>in my head, like the way my father treated my

1:02:56.680 --> 1:03:00.160
<v Speaker 1>mother is that's that's what I look for, Like not

1:03:00.280 --> 1:03:02.680
<v Speaker 1>reminded me of my father, the way the effort he

1:03:02.720 --> 1:03:05.360
<v Speaker 1>put into my mom is not going to work. Only

1:03:05.400 --> 1:03:09.400
<v Speaker 1>because I see that that type of love exists. I

1:03:09.440 --> 1:03:11.920
<v Speaker 1>want it. I want my kids happy mommy and daddy

1:03:11.960 --> 1:03:14.680
<v Speaker 1>like in love and at your parent household my dad

1:03:14.680 --> 1:03:16.800
<v Speaker 1>taking me to soccer practice. I went to private school,

1:03:16.800 --> 1:03:19.360
<v Speaker 1>like I want that life for my kids. That's where

1:03:19.400 --> 1:03:21.880
<v Speaker 1>I had growing up, you know, And it makes dating

1:03:22.000 --> 1:03:24.840
<v Speaker 1>very difficult sometimes because sometimes people don't see that. You know,

1:03:25.000 --> 1:03:27.840
<v Speaker 1>they don't have that connection, but they don't see that

1:03:27.880 --> 1:03:30.720
<v Speaker 1>type of mindset that I have. Like I'm in school

1:03:30.760 --> 1:03:34.320
<v Speaker 1>for my master's. Right when I graduated high school my bachelor's.

1:03:34.360 --> 1:03:37.240
<v Speaker 1>My mom looked at me, was like, okay, so you

1:03:37.360 --> 1:03:40.560
<v Speaker 1>graduated high school with the bachelors. No, no, I went

1:03:40.680 --> 1:03:42.440
<v Speaker 1>I got I'm my graduated high school and I got

1:03:42.440 --> 1:03:46.000
<v Speaker 1>my bachelor's in Kinesi and that. They were like, that's

1:03:46.040 --> 1:03:48.840
<v Speaker 1>basically going to elementary. I'm almost like okay, and then

1:03:49.080 --> 1:03:51.240
<v Speaker 1>now I'm doing my my masters and my mom was like, okay,

1:03:51.240 --> 1:03:54.280
<v Speaker 1>maybe we'll throw your party this time. Maybe like maybe,

1:03:54.800 --> 1:03:57.440
<v Speaker 1>but like I come, but when you get your pH d.

1:03:57.600 --> 1:03:59.480
<v Speaker 1>That's why I don't think I'm doing that one. I

1:03:59.520 --> 1:04:01.600
<v Speaker 1>had to I just sit my parents down break the

1:04:01.640 --> 1:04:05.360
<v Speaker 1>news to them because this master's okay yeah, Because Nigerian

1:04:05.400 --> 1:04:07.680
<v Speaker 1>parents are like, you need to be a doctor, engineer,

1:04:07.720 --> 1:04:10.480
<v Speaker 1>a lawyer or something like that. That that broke my

1:04:10.520 --> 1:04:13.520
<v Speaker 1>mom's heart, me even me telling everyone. I mean, like

1:04:13.560 --> 1:04:15.840
<v Speaker 1>I said, I'm talking to someone. But if I told

1:04:15.840 --> 1:04:17.880
<v Speaker 1>her like I wasn't gonna marry Nigerian, she would have

1:04:17.880 --> 1:04:21.880
<v Speaker 1>a heart attack, a real my heart attack. So let's

1:04:21.920 --> 1:04:24.240
<v Speaker 1>get into that. Are you dating and Nigerian? Now? Like,

1:04:24.280 --> 1:04:26.080
<v Speaker 1>because when we met, you was like, I'm single and

1:04:26.200 --> 1:04:28.560
<v Speaker 1>fun like me to a girl. Let's talk about it.

1:04:28.920 --> 1:04:35.680
<v Speaker 1>Um Nigerian? Okay, yeah, he's Nigerian and where'd you meet? Um?

1:04:35.760 --> 1:04:38.479
<v Speaker 1>I've known him for a long time. And then um,

1:04:38.560 --> 1:04:41.120
<v Speaker 1>we just didn't talk for a while, and then we

1:04:41.240 --> 1:04:43.919
<v Speaker 1>started talking back up. And then it was just like

1:04:44.520 --> 1:04:47.919
<v Speaker 1>we just jeld really well, and how y'all started talking

1:04:47.920 --> 1:04:50.240
<v Speaker 1>back up. I don't really check who watches my stories

1:04:50.280 --> 1:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>like that, because you know, there's always a lot of

1:04:51.800 --> 1:04:53.880
<v Speaker 1>people that watches my stories. And then one day I

1:04:53.920 --> 1:04:55.720
<v Speaker 1>was just seeing watched my stories and I saw his

1:04:55.800 --> 1:04:57.880

<v Speaker 1>I was like, is he is? He? Is he single?

1:05:06.920 --> 1:05:10.880
<v Speaker 1>Because he's you know, he's good looking, he's tall, you know,

1:05:11.240 --> 1:05:13.600
<v Speaker 1>so I just hit him up. I was like hey, hey,

1:07:58.840 --> 1:08:01.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm Nigerian. He's like, that's why you're that color. I'm like, sir,

1:08:01.920 --> 1:08:03.800
<v Speaker 1>like what are you talking about? What are you even

1:08:03.800 --> 1:08:06.840
<v Speaker 1>talking about? So I just get ready for ignorant statements.

1:08:07.480 --> 1:08:10.240
<v Speaker 1>And also don't be afraid to put your foot down

1:08:10.360 --> 1:08:13.520
<v Speaker 1>and say no if you don't accept someone to treat

1:08:13.560 --> 1:08:16.360
<v Speaker 1>you a certain way, because they will try it. And

1:08:16.600 --> 1:08:18.240
<v Speaker 1>I mean I'm not just saying black men will try it.

1:08:18.280 --> 1:08:21.160
<v Speaker 1>Everybody will try it, but it's gonna we're gonna feel

1:08:21.200 --> 1:08:23.120
<v Speaker 1>it more because it's coming from us, you know, what

1:08:23.200 --> 1:08:26.639
<v Speaker 1>I mean. So I I guess my my advice would

1:08:26.640 --> 1:08:29.200
<v Speaker 1>be like just make sure your confidences of and never

1:08:29.360 --> 1:08:32.599
<v Speaker 1>let your crown tilt because l A is not it's

1:08:32.600 --> 1:08:34.479
<v Speaker 1>not for the week. I said, it's really for the week.

1:08:34.760 --> 1:08:39.280
<v Speaker 1>So insecure is a big facade right used to raise insecure.

1:08:39.520 --> 1:08:45.360
<v Speaker 1>There's really like no black black relationships and okay, they're

1:08:45.360 --> 1:08:49.120
<v Speaker 1>all they probably came together, maybe not, or they imported

1:08:49.200 --> 1:08:54.160
<v Speaker 1>somebody from someplace else. It's well like if you're like

1:08:54.280 --> 1:08:56.600
<v Speaker 1>me and you don't date l A guys, maybe but

1:08:56.760 --> 1:09:00.160
<v Speaker 1>like they're they're they're they're there, but like I'm just same.

1:09:00.200 --> 1:09:02.160
<v Speaker 1>Majority of the time, you do see a lot more

1:09:02.240 --> 1:09:08.439
<v Speaker 1>black with somebody else. Interesting. Yeah, well it be an

1:09:08.479 --> 1:09:10.920
<v Speaker 1>eight percent of the population out there. It's kind of hard.

1:09:11.000 --> 1:09:13.519
<v Speaker 1>You're gonna almost have to date outside of your race

1:09:14.320 --> 1:09:18.600
<v Speaker 1>and too, Like, trust me, I've been through my my

1:09:18.720 --> 1:09:21.000
<v Speaker 1>fair share of like my my my home. Girls will

1:09:21.040 --> 1:09:25.680
<v Speaker 1>tell your horror stories, you know, oh really, Well, we

1:09:25.800 --> 1:09:28.080
<v Speaker 1>have a segment on this show called dumb Bitch Stories.

1:09:28.920 --> 1:09:33.280
<v Speaker 1>Dumb Bitch Stories because we've all been a dumb bitch

1:09:33.360 --> 1:09:37.680
<v Speaker 1>at least once or twice, and it's pretty much kind

1:09:37.720 --> 1:09:40.639
<v Speaker 1>of like given your horror story with dating, like where

1:09:40.680 --> 1:09:43.320
<v Speaker 1>someone tried to play you or a time you know

1:09:43.600 --> 1:09:46.400
<v Speaker 1>you just wasn't treated fairly. Can you share one of

1:09:46.439 --> 1:09:49.639
<v Speaker 1>those stories of us? M LORDI what do I want

1:09:49.680 --> 1:09:52.519
<v Speaker 1>to So? I mean I could tell a little story.

1:09:52.600 --> 1:09:55.479
<v Speaker 1>There's one time. Well I'm a very I like to give,

1:09:55.520 --> 1:09:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I like to help people. I'm not gonna go too

1:09:58.080 --> 1:10:00.519
<v Speaker 1>much into details about this because it's still embarrassing and

1:10:00.560 --> 1:10:03.560
<v Speaker 1>still burns my soul. And um, like I said, I

1:10:03.720 --> 1:10:07.519
<v Speaker 1>was raising household where money you give money because money

1:10:07.600 --> 1:10:10.040
<v Speaker 1>comes and goes like it was never like you know,

1:10:10.200 --> 1:10:12.960
<v Speaker 1>we were on our last dollar. You know, I didn't

1:10:13.000 --> 1:10:14.320
<v Speaker 1>have to work a lot in my life because my

1:10:14.400 --> 1:10:18.200
<v Speaker 1>dad paid for everything. So it's one dude needed help.

1:10:19.000 --> 1:10:21.320
<v Speaker 1>And I don't like to loan money because I hate

1:10:21.360 --> 1:10:23.680
<v Speaker 1>asking for my money back. It's the most uncomfortable thing

1:10:23.720 --> 1:10:26.479
<v Speaker 1>for me. So then you know, I gave him some

1:10:26.560 --> 1:10:28.479
<v Speaker 1>money when he asked me again for some money, gave

1:10:28.560 --> 1:10:30.360
<v Speaker 1>him some more money because he kept he kept saying

1:10:30.360 --> 1:10:33.679
<v Speaker 1>he needed help. And then he goes to me after

1:10:33.760 --> 1:10:36.679
<v Speaker 1>he'd like to come the money. And then I'm still testing,

1:10:36.800 --> 1:10:38.519
<v Speaker 1>like hey, are you I'm still trying to be nice

1:10:38.600 --> 1:10:40.640
<v Speaker 1>to this person like I'm still trying to hey, are

1:10:40.680 --> 1:10:43.240

1:10:43.280 --> 1:10:48.479
<v Speaker 1>everything all good? Blah blah blah blah blah. And when

1:10:48.479 --> 1:10:51.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't want to talk about them when because the

1:10:51.160 --> 1:10:54.400
<v Speaker 1>amount tell us how much your Your daddy ain't going

1:10:54.439 --> 1:10:58.240

1:11:06.479 --> 1:11:10.880
<v Speaker 1>things like upers and stuff that I've spent. Okay, that's

1:11:10.920 --> 1:11:19.639
