Come finally, 172 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,760 Speaker 1: speaking of father figures. Your conversation with Justin on the 173 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:00,439 Speaker 1: pregame show about how strange it was when you meet 174 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,160 Speaker 1: folks and you thought it was alien that who thought 175 00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:04,680 Speaker 1: it was alien? That you know your dad and he 176 00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:07,199 Speaker 1: lived with you. When I started college, I was shocked 177 00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:09,240 Speaker 1: that I met black people who had both parents who 178 00:09:09,320 --> 00:09:12,040 Speaker 1: were married and lived with them, or who had lived 179 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,800 Speaker 1: in homes that their parents owned, et cetera. I would think, 180 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,280 Speaker 1: what type of black people are you? I didn't know. 181 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,680 Speaker 1: I didn't know you could exist. Yeah, man, it's wild because, 182 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:23,640 Speaker 1: like one of things that's weird about the black experiences, 183 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: we kind of do all take our own experience for granted. 184 00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:32,480 Speaker 1: We do and feel like it's typical of blackness, and 185 00:09:32,520 --> 00:09:36,520 Speaker 1: the only time that we really can confront that is 186 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,560 Speaker 1: when we come together with other black people and we 187 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:41,200 Speaker 1: kind of have these moments, and sadly, a lot of 188 00:09:41,240 --> 00:09:46,319 Speaker 1: these moments end up in confrontation rather than coming together. 189 00:09:46,400 --> 00:09:48,880 Speaker 1: It's like if you're not my type of black, or 190 00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 1: you're you're you're black is less than my black you know, Like, uh, 191 00:09:53,520 --> 00:09:55,640 Speaker 1: it's kind of like that whole you know. I think 192 00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:57,880 Speaker 1: it's a huge thing in the blurred community and the 193 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: black nerve community, however you want to call it, where 194 00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,000 Speaker 1: there's like certain black people that are like I didn't 195 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: grow up around black people, so I grew up around 196 00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:08,120 Speaker 1: white people. And the people that I knew that were 197 00:10:08,160 --> 00:10:10,120 Speaker 1: in the anime and nerd shit were all white, So 198 00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: I assumed it was a white thing, and I was 199 00:10:11,800 --> 00:10:14,720 Speaker 1: a special snowflake black person who was into these things. 200 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 1: And then there's people like me where I grew up. 201 00:10:18,040 --> 00:10:19,440 Speaker 1: I was in there a lot of nerdous shit, but 202 00:10:19,520 --> 00:10:22,360 Speaker 1: everybody that I lived around was black. So if I 203 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,439 Speaker 1: was reading comic books, guess who else was reading combooks? 204 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,120 Speaker 1: Some black kids. If I was into anime, guess who 205 00:10:27,160 --> 00:10:29,520 Speaker 1: put me onto the anime? Some black kids. And so 206 00:10:29,559 --> 00:10:32,280 Speaker 1: by the time I went to college and I was, 207 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:35,600 Speaker 1: you know, sitting in dorm room full of football players 208 00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:38,680 Speaker 1: and nerves and scholar I we're on scholarship. It's like 209 00:10:38,920 --> 00:10:41,560 Speaker 1: we didn't give a fuck about any of that shit. 210 00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:46,160 Speaker 1: We were all watching Dragon ball Z together. But there 211 00:10:46,240 --> 00:10:48,760 Speaker 1: must have been some black people that were like coming 212 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: from to this experience, from places where they were the 213 00:10:52,040 --> 00:10:54,720 Speaker 1: only black kid in their neighborhood, or they were the 214 00:10:54,720 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: only black kid in their school and their classes and this, 215 00:10:57,640 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 1: you know, to them, it may have been a huge 216 00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:01,840 Speaker 1: shock to find Outiggs was into this shit. You see 217 00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,280 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. To me, I'm like, of course, niggas 218 00:11:04,320 --> 00:11:06,439 Speaker 1: in it. I'm like open. You know, to this day, 219 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:09,319 Speaker 1: I still have these conversations, like on the sideline basketball 220 00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:12,160 Speaker 1: court and we're talking about Avenger's Infinity War or something, 221 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:14,600 Speaker 1: and I'm going all into details and I said three 222 00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:16,920 Speaker 1: times and niggas, you see when he did this, you know, 223 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,439 Speaker 1: and never I've never had a self consciousness about that 224 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:25,280 Speaker 1: because it's never been the definition of my blackness. But 225 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:27,599 Speaker 1: I think, you know, and I'm making all this to 226 00:11:27,640 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 1: come back to your point. I think that also goes 227 00:11:29,800 --> 00:11:31,880 Speaker 1: and stuff like if I grew up in a place 228 00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:34,320 Speaker 1: where a lot of us didn't have fathers in the house, 229 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: then when I go outside that experience and I meet 230 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: black people that are like, of course I grew up 231 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:44,280 Speaker 1: that way. Who what's so crazy about growing up like that. 232 00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:48,599 Speaker 1: It's kind of the opposite experience. And then instead of 233 00:11:48,600 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 1: people always embracing it, a lot of times people will 234 00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:52,880 Speaker 1: look down and be like, oh, you're less of a 235 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,199 Speaker 1: black person than me you had two parents, or vice versa. 236 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,880 Speaker 1: You Oh, you're one of those ghetto black people, you know, 237 00:11:58,960 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: And that's so sad that get divided like that, because 238 00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: the commonality is the oppression we experience is for the 239 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,679 Speaker 1: most part universal, and you think there will be a 240 00:12:10,679 --> 00:12:15,040 Speaker 1: a i don't know, unifying feature to that, and it's 241 00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:15,960 Speaker 1: just not right. 242 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:19,200 Speaker 3: And also, and it's sad, but it is a privilege 243 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 3: to actually have both parents that actually live in the 244 00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:25,760 Speaker 3: household and stay together, even if they don't stay together. 245 00:12:26,120 --> 00:12:27,880 Speaker 2: But for the fact that you have both. 246 00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:30,320 Speaker 3: Parents and they're not falling out and having confrontations and 247 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:35,800 Speaker 3: actually functioning normally is quote unquote odd for a lot 248 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:36,240 Speaker 3: of people. 249 00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 2: But for some people that's normal. 250 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:41,240 Speaker 3: It's okay to have literally four parents, you know, like 251 00:12:41,320 --> 00:12:43,679 Speaker 3: that's okay, And for some people it's you know, they 252 00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,000 Speaker 3: feel like a mom and a dad and anything outside 253 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:48,880 Speaker 3: of that. I can't comprehend anything outside of that. And yeah, 254 00:12:49,240 --> 00:12:51,079 Speaker 3: I've dealt with people who have a tendency to look 255 00:12:51,160 --> 00:12:53,720 Speaker 3: down on people. When you say you've come from a 256 00:12:53,720 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 3: single parent household, people automatically turning those up and frown 257 00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,560 Speaker 3: and they automatically think it's a woman. But there are 258 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,160 Speaker 3: a lot of parents fed our men out there too, 259 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:04,480 Speaker 3: but for some reason, that group has. 260 00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:05,559 Speaker 2: A tendency to get overlooked. 261 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,240 Speaker 1: Miko says, I just had to leave a little comment 262 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,040 Speaker 1: about after you mentioned going to see Avengers again because 263 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: we went yesterday and my daughter left that movie distraught. 264 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,559 Speaker 1: I mean, I was shook, but she actually cried a 265 00:13:20,559 --> 00:13:22,679 Speaker 1: little on the way home. And I won't say anything 266 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,120 Speaker 1: more so it's not to spoil anything. It left us 267 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: all reeling, but she was basically you rid when you 268 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: said what are movies? What is life? Et cetera. She's 269 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: still upset, especially because she knows she can't talk about 270 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:36,400 Speaker 1: it with her friends in school because she I haven't 271 00:13:36,400 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 1: seen it. She had so many feelings about it. We'll 272 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: probably go again tomorrow when it's five dollars, if she's 273 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,199 Speaker 1: up for anyway. Just thought that was funny, thanks y'all. Yeah, 274 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 1: first I wasn't willing to see it again, and then 275 00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,679 Speaker 1: I thought about it and I was like this is 276 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: the greatest movie I've ever seen. This is why they 277 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:55,360 Speaker 1: make movies. What is anything else? Nothing else needs exist 278 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:55,760 Speaker 1: after this. 279 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:57,720 Speaker 2: Yeah, you've seen it without me, and I'm gonna go. 280 00:13:57,800 --> 00:13:59,560 Speaker 3: Your mama hadn't seen it, so me and your mama 281 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:00,840 Speaker 3: gonna go see it tomorrow. 282 00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:02,800 Speaker 1: I hope you all enjoy. You know, my mom ain't 283 00:14:02,800 --> 00:14:04,720 Speaker 1: seen all the Mother movies, so you're gonna be explaining 284 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:05,240 Speaker 1: a lot of shit. 285 00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,360 Speaker 2: Ah, she probably just come from a black panther. 286 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, she's gonna have to wait about Well, I ain't 287 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,800 Speaker 1: wanna spoil everything. You gotta wait a bit till you 288 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: see Wakanda. But I ain't gonna lie. 289 00:14:14,720 --> 00:14:14,880 Speaker 3: Man. 290 00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: That's one of the reasons I say it's a masterpiece. 291 00:14:17,440 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: Like every time they do something and you can almost 292 00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: feel the feelings of the other movies they've made, so 293 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:26,840 Speaker 1: like there's certain songs you hear and you're like, oh, 294 00:14:26,920 --> 00:14:29,520 Speaker 1: Guardians of the Galaxy, and then the movie feels like 295 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,560 Speaker 1: you're watching fifteen minutes of Guardians of the Galaxy in 296 00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,080 Speaker 1: the middle of a fucking other movie. And when you 297 00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: hear like the drums and the horns and you're like, oh, Wakanda, 298 00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: Like before you even see Wakanda. You're in Wakanda Like 299 00:14:43,040 --> 00:14:46,360 Speaker 1: that's a masterpiece of filmmaking and nobody's ever gonna top 300 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: it because it took eighteen nineteen films to make one 301 00:14:49,920 --> 00:14:53,320 Speaker 1: movie like this. It'll never be done again until next 302 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,000 Speaker 1: year when they do part two. What the fuck? They 303 00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:57,440 Speaker 1: are so good at this right, And. 304 00:14:57,400 --> 00:15:01,120 Speaker 3: It's almost like a visual comic book because people who 305 00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:03,600 Speaker 3: actually have seen the movies and never have read the 306 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:04,160 Speaker 3: comic book. 307 00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:06,400 Speaker 2: You literally got a visual comic book. 308 00:15:06,480 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 3: It's like, Oh, all that film watching in hours and hours, 309 00:15:10,560 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 3: This is why you're paid off. 310 00:15:12,160 --> 00:15:18,400 Speaker 1: Right. Oh God, I love that fucking movie. Yah a vst. 311 00:15:19,160 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: He was bawling, he was a vs. The ain't those Jenkins? 312 00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 1: I'll never forget him. So it's said in the credits, 313 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 1: Josh Brolin, we'll return. It's staint those Jenkins. Yes, Jay 314 00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:33,840 Speaker 1: Full says, I didn't get this feedback in in time 315 00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 1: for the show, but that story about black women getting 316 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: the police called on them at the golf course really 317 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:40,280 Speaker 1: fuck with me. On Boston Sports. Y'all know I love golf, 318 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:42,360 Speaker 1: but the golf course is so full of micro and 319 00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,920 Speaker 1: macro aggressions. I can't believe they would call the police 320 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 1: on someone on a Saturday morning. Everybody knows that's the 321 00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: worst time to play golf because it's always slow. That's 322 00:15:50,280 --> 00:15:52,720 Speaker 1: when most people can get out of the house to play. 323 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,800 Speaker 1: But like everybody knows, it wasn't really about slow play. 324 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 1: Every year I take a golf trip with twenty black 325 00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,160 Speaker 1: dudes and we travel all over the country to play. 326 00:16:00,520 --> 00:16:03,160 Speaker 1: I'm always nervous that when twenty black dudes show up 327 00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: to the course, there's gonna be a problem. Fortunately, most 328 00:16:06,280 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: years we haven't had any issues. We played modified rules 329 00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:11,800 Speaker 1: to make sure we can keep up the pace. However, 330 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,240 Speaker 1: two years ago, we were playing PGA National in West 331 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:16,800 Speaker 1: Palm Beach. We had an issue. Long story short, The 332 00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,920 Speaker 1: two groups that were supposed to play before us didn't 333 00:16:18,920 --> 00:16:21,200 Speaker 1: show up, so the marshall saw the gap of the 334 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 1: course and accused us of falling behind. We ended up 335 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,640 Speaker 1: having to skip a hole on the most famous stretch 336 00:16:25,640 --> 00:16:28,560 Speaker 1: of the course.

Let me just 377 00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,960 Speaker 1: say I'm glad for the thirty second fast forward feature 378 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:17,760 Speaker 1: on the RSS radio app. I'm not gonna mention what 379 00:18:17,960 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 1: made me have to fast forward for fear that I 380 00:18:20,560 --> 00:18:25,280 Speaker 1: have to fast forward this issue. I mean this episode, 381 00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:28,240 Speaker 1: and I think I know why you fast forward it, 382 00:18:28,440 --> 00:18:30,360 Speaker 1: but I'm not gonna do you like that, okay, because 383 00:18:30,359 --> 00:18:33,400 Speaker 1: you're showing respect right now. I missed the initial news 384 00:18:33,400 --> 00:18:35,240 Speaker 1: of the waffle House incident because I was dealing with 385 00:18:35,320 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: for family stuff, but I would peek in on Twitter 386 00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:40,320 Speaker 1: and Facebook occasionally, and when I heard finally heard the details, 387 00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,879 Speaker 1: I was living that I didn't see the outrage, especially 388 00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,760 Speaker 1: since waffle House back their employees. Most folks are still 389 00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:47,639 Speaker 1: talking about boycott and Starbucks. But so I don't know 390 00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:50,919 Speaker 1: waffle House. I hate people. You want to know what 391 00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: else is funny? And I don't know what to call 392 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,240 Speaker 1: this right, I don't know what you would call this phenomenon, 393 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:01,199 Speaker 1: but it's very true. It's almost like the why I 394 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,520 Speaker 1: understand why Black Lives Matter protest Bernie Sanders as opposed 395 00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:09,280 Speaker 1: to say Donald Trump. That's kind of how Starbucks is. 396 00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,719 Speaker 1: You push Starbucks because you're probably gonna get something out 397 00:19:12,760 --> 00:19:15,000 Speaker 1: of them because they actually do give a fuck, right. 398 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:19,119 Speaker 1: But I like, I hate being right about shit like 399 00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:22,440 Speaker 1: this because I know that that is my rightness quote 400 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:24,320 Speaker 1: unquote is based in a lot of pessimism, and a 401 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,760 Speaker 1: lot of people don't fuck with that. And I'm not 402 00:19:26,800 --> 00:19:30,080 Speaker 1: trying to bring everybody down. And I feel bad sometimes 403 00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:33,480 Speaker 1: when I'm right about some shit. But it literally was 404 00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:37,040 Speaker 1: like wafa House. Listening to our podcast heard me say 405 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,719 Speaker 1: them niggas are lucky having the Starbucks because if it 406 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,080 Speaker 1: was somewhere else, they wouldn't give a fuck. And WAFA 407 00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:44,760 Speaker 1: House is like Cam Newton on the sidelines, like now 408 00:19:44,840 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 1: at their head, yup and said I'll be right back, 409 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 1: and came back and said, guess what, we actually don't 410 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 1: give a fuck. You know, we watch a black woman 411 00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:56,119 Speaker 1: get de bloused, arrested, thrown on the ground of a 412 00:19:56,200 --> 00:20:00,080 Speaker 1: fucking plastic silverware where they obviously were lying about and 413 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,280 Speaker 1: whitfih House could not wait to have those motherfucking employees back. Oh, 414 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:07,160 Speaker 1: I mean, oh, the employee said that it was more 415 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:10,440 Speaker 1: going on. Y'all just didn't see it like and honestly, 416 00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:14,240 Speaker 1: man to a certain extent, niggas didn't get mad. Well, 417 00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: first of all, niggas was mad, okay, But in general 418 00:20:17,520 --> 00:20:20,840 Speaker 1: the outrage wasn't the same as Starbucks. I believe in 419 00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:23,760 Speaker 1: addition to her just being a black woman, you also 420 00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:25,960 Speaker 1: had this big thing of they wasn't gonna do shit. 421 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,800 Speaker 1: Waffah House wasn't gonna do shit, you know what I mean? 422 00:20:30,880 --> 00:20:33,840 Speaker 1: Even the Starbucks boycott shit was misplaced as fuck. And 423 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,359 Speaker 1: not to be mean, but them niggas was saying that 424 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 1: shit t they would feel better. They weren't gonna do shit. 425 00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:42,120 Speaker 1: You know, it was a bunch of people that either 426 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: don't go to Starbucks talking about I'm a boycott, or 427 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:47,080 Speaker 1: it's just people wanting to trend it online and make 428 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: Starbucks the company have to respond. And I bet you 429 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,520 Speaker 1: boycott waffle House was probably trending, not as high, but 430 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,639 Speaker 1: it probably was trending at some point, of course. And 431 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:57,080 Speaker 1: you know what, they didn't give a fuck, and we're 432 00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:59,240 Speaker 1: so used to people not giving a fuck that there 433 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:03,480 Speaker 1: is no nothing beyond that. And like you, like I said, 434 00:21:03,480 --> 00:21:06,320 Speaker 1: you would think our oppression would be a unifying experience 435 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:08,959 Speaker 1: for black people, but it's really not. It's really not. 436 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 1: The myth of black unity is that it is a myth. 437 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,880 Speaker 1: So people looked at it like and well, I ain't 438 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 1: ever been slapped down at waffle house. I ain't never 439 00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:18,320 Speaker 1: been told to get out of Starbucks. 440 00:21:18,359 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: I don't give a fuck about this black woman, right. 441 00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: And they moved a fuck on. And the only reason 442 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:25,040 Speaker 1: that Starbucks shit stayed in the media that long, in 443 00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:28,639 Speaker 1: addition to them being black men, but the only reason 444 00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,240 Speaker 1: that shits kept staying in the media because it could 445 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,639 Speaker 1: have ended way faster. Starbucks kept talking. 446 00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:35,320 Speaker 2: About it, right, Starbucks. 447 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,440 Speaker 1: Kept putting out pressed lease ceo doing videos and shit, 448 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: if Starbucks would have just released a statement like whatever, 449 00:21:41,240 --> 00:21:44,560 Speaker 1: it would have been probably five days in the news cycle, 450 00:21:44,600 --> 00:21:47,240 Speaker 1: because then somebody else would did something stupid. You know, 451 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:50,399 Speaker 1: Starbucks just decided to try to help, and we'll see 452 00:21:51,240 --> 00:21:54,359 Speaker 1: how much help that will be. Because I mean, the 453 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: country races, it's not even really Starbucks or the police 454 00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,800 Speaker 1: or it's just a huge problem with white people. Focus. 455 00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,960 Speaker 1: Steven says, Hey, Rod and Karen, let me just say 456 00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: I'm glad. Oh I read that one, all right.

Maybe 510 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: this is the slippery slope of being aware of how 511 00:24:47,800 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 1: racist the system is. Law enforcement does police blacks more, 512 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 1: punish them harder, et cetera. However, does that really matter 513 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:57,160 Speaker 1: if the person is guilty. That's just me playing devil's advocate, 514 00:24:57,200 --> 00:24:59,639 Speaker 1: though I'm not a sympathizer. A Cosmi. 515 00:25:00,480 --> 00:25:03,160 Speaker 2: That's not no devil advocate.

Yes, 521 00:25:13,600 --> 00:25:16,560 Speaker 3: the system's corrupt, Yes the system's fucked up, but there's 522 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,800 Speaker 3: some shit the white man should go to jail and 523 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:19,920 Speaker 3: the black man should go to jail. 524 00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:20,920 Speaker 2: What the fuck are we talking about? 525 00:25:20,920 --> 00:25:25,359 Speaker 1: A year?

They're coming at it from 528 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:35,000 Speaker 1: the side of it's a distrust gap between black men 529 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,639 Speaker 1: and black women in this situation. They're coming at it 530 00:25:37,640 --> 00:25:40,480 Speaker 1: from the side of if you bring this up, you're 531 00:25:40,520 --> 00:25:42,960 Speaker 1: saying black men should get the rape with impunity because 532 00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:48,479 Speaker 1: white men do right. Right, as a black man, I 533 00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,520 Speaker 1: understand what the point they're trying to make, which is 534 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:55,280 Speaker 1: that race affects everything. Even when two people are guilty, 535 00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:57,480 Speaker 1: the black one goes to jail and the white one doesn't. 536 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 1: My thing is, if you're bringing that up, what is 537 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:07,119 Speaker 1: your next leap Because that's where the distrust comes in. 538 00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:09,639 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with you bringing that up. 539 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,640 Speaker 1: If your whole point is and the white man should 540 00:26:11,640 --> 00:26:14,000 Speaker 1: be going to jail too, because Bill Cosey did it 541 00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:16,120 Speaker 1: and all them niggas that did it should go to jail, 542 00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:20,080 Speaker 1: right cool. I can get behind that, they should all 543 00:26:20,119 --> 00:26:23,080 Speaker 1: go to jail. If your next point is, well, until 544 00:26:23,080 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 1: these white people don't go to jail, I'm not until 545 00:26:25,920 --> 00:26:27,800 Speaker 1: these white people go to jail. I'm not talking about 546 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,120 Speaker 1: Bill Cosby or whatever. You can get the fuck out 547 00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:32,639 Speaker 1: of my face. I did not sign up for this 548 00:26:32,720 --> 00:26:35,760 Speaker 1: thing where because I'm black, I gotta let you fucking 549 00:26:36,359 --> 00:26:39,080 Speaker 1: harm people in my community as long as you black too. 550 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: I don't get down like that. That's not what blackness 551 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:44,960 Speaker 1: should be about for me, and it's definitely not what 552 00:26:45,000 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: blackness should be about for anybody, to be honest. It 553 00:26:46,960 --> 00:26:49,040 Speaker 1: shouldn't be a cover you can hide behind so you 554 00:26:49,040 --> 00:26:51,240 Speaker 1: can treat people like shitting and be like, but I'm black. 555 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:54,760 Speaker 3: Though, right right, And that's the problem that comes in. 556 00:26:55,320 --> 00:26:58,400 Speaker 3: Don't cloak yourself in blackness as a way to abuse 557 00:26:58,520 --> 00:27:01,480 Speaker 3: other black people. So many any people do that bullshit, 558 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,120 Speaker 3: and it drives me up the wall. Yes, we can 559 00:27:05,119 --> 00:27:07,320 Speaker 3: talk about race and the nuances of race and how 560 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,680 Speaker 3: they impact things, but there's some shit. 561 00:27:09,760 --> 00:27:10,520 Speaker 2: It's just fact. 562 00:27:10,640 --> 00:27:13,800 Speaker 3: It has nothing to do with race, color, creed, religious, sexuality, 563 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:14,440 Speaker 3: or anything. 564 00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:17,400 Speaker 2: These are the facts on certain things. 565 00:27:17,920 --> 00:27:19,960 Speaker 3: And it's one of those things where it just frustrate 566 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:22,600 Speaker 3: me because a lot of people use that as a 567 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,400 Speaker 3: cover for friendships, as a cover to commit crimes, as 568 00:27:26,400 --> 00:27:27,720 Speaker 3: a cover to abuse the community. 569 00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 2: And then I'll ask you, if you feel like that, 570 00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:30,880 Speaker 2: what's the difference. 571 00:27:30,520 --> 00:27:32,760 Speaker 3: Between you humming the black community and a white man 572 00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 3: humming a black community, because the end result is somebody 573 00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:36,480 Speaker 3: from the black community getting harmed. 574 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,600 Speaker 1: But also, man like, I don't care if there's a 575 00:27:40,640 --> 00:27:42,600 Speaker 1: certain amount of lack of caring I have for these 576 00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 1: abusive predators. Man Like, you're not gonna trick me into 577 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,440 Speaker 1: carrying about R. Kelly because he's black. You're not gonna 578 00:27:48,480 --> 00:27:50,879 Speaker 1: do it, you know what I mean? Because it always 579 00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,960 Speaker 1: ends up where when you like, quote unquote care so 580 00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:55,800 Speaker 1: much about an abuser that you want to keep them 581 00:27:55,840 --> 00:27:58,399 Speaker 1: from justice, all you're really doing is saying to all 582 00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:02,640 Speaker 1: the people they victimized, you're not important. What's more important 583 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:05,280 Speaker 1: is this person than I to me, And I'm not 584 00:28:05,440 --> 00:28:07,720 Speaker 1: one of those people. I don't give a fuck. You 585 00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:10,560 Speaker 1: can go, you all can fucking go, because it's not 586 00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:14,520 Speaker 1: that important to me. Like, like the cost of getting 587 00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:17,959 Speaker 1: Bill Kazi off the streets and getting justice for the 588 00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: many women he brutalized is that we no longer look 589 00:28:20,520 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: at Bill Kazi as some sort of icon. Why would 590 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:26,520 Speaker 1: I care about that? You know, I mean, we have 591 00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:28,240 Speaker 1: to be we have to keep it real.

I mean, it's a huge hypocrite, but 598 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:50,000 Speaker 1: it's not even about that. Just the very simple fact 599 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: that a very prolific serial rapist needs to be off 600 00:28:52,920 --> 00:28:55,680 Speaker 1: the streets should not be a divisive fucking topic because 601 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 1: he made you laugh. That should not be enough for 602 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 1: you to be like and apparently I have to start 603 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:05,959 Speaker 1: saying it's a conspiracy.

When the news broke, I cried, knowing 608 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 1: he's gone and I can't argue with him about it. Damn, 609 00:29:18,160 --> 00:29:22,320 Speaker 1: that's wild.

I'm totally in anyway. Kudos to Corey for 672 00:32:17,240 --> 00:32:19,560 Speaker 1: being a great guest again. Around the conversation about the 673 00:32:19,640 --> 00:32:22,560 Speaker 1: kids and social media, Karen made a super important point. 674 00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:24,959 Speaker 1: Parents do tend to bear their heads in the sin 675 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:26,920 Speaker 1: as it relates to their kids social media, not just 676 00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,880 Speaker 1: the amount of time they spend on it, but the 677 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,280 Speaker 1: content they post and Like just yesterday, I had to 678 00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:33,960 Speaker 1: reach out to my cousin thirteen years old to warn 679 00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 1: him about captions on his Instagram post. To my surprise, 680 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: he was receptive and took it down. I was sure 681 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,320 Speaker 1: he was gonna block me and move on lol. But 682 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,760 Speaker 1: I think my approach came from a genuine concern for 683 00:32:44,840 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: ours posts could have impacted the person he talked about 684 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,680 Speaker 1: and the procession of him as an individual. I'm not 685 00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,200 Speaker 1: a parent, so I can't really speak the parental guidelines 686 00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:54,080 Speaker 1: for dealing with kids and social media. However, Karen is 687 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:58,880 Speaker 1: spot on. Okay, thanks y'all, take care, thank you, and yeah, 688 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: I do think uh shout out to uncles and aunts. Man, 689 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 1: you know, I think I think a lot of times 690 00:33:04,520 --> 00:33:05,920 Speaker 1: we can like talk to a kid in the way 691 00:33:05,960 --> 00:33:07,840 Speaker 1: that's a little bit different from school to them. 692 00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:10,400 Speaker 2: Right, because we don't have the same relationship. 693 00:33:10,440 --> 00:33:13,880 Speaker 3: Because the thing is, kids look at parents a different 694 00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:16,320 Speaker 3: way than they look at other people, you know, because 695 00:33:16,360 --> 00:33:19,440 Speaker 3: your parents are there, they got rules and regulations and boundaries. 696 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:20,240 Speaker 2: You can't do this. 697 00:33:20,360 --> 00:33:22,360 Speaker 3: You can't because they're trying to structure your ass so 698 00:33:22,480 --> 00:33:24,200 Speaker 3: you don't be a fucked up human being out here 699 00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 3: in the world. Like like that is a job alone, 700 00:33:27,040 --> 00:33:28,920 Speaker 3: and you got to be the bad guy. Sometimes you 701 00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 3: got to get up in that ass and be like, well, 702 00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 3: what you're gonna do and what you ain't gonna do 703 00:33:32,280 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 3: versus when you're dealing with aunts and uncles and people 704 00:33:34,760 --> 00:33:37,760 Speaker 3: on the outside, they can come at a different perspective 705 00:33:37,880 --> 00:33:39,680 Speaker 3: and they could feel like they can talk to you 706 00:33:40,040 --> 00:33:42,360 Speaker 3: and they don't have the same I don't wanna say 707 00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:45,040 Speaker 3: the same judgment, but they don't have the same connection 708 00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 3: to you as they do with their parents. 709 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,520 Speaker 1: And then lastly was Eve.

We had episode sixteen 721 00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:26,040 Speaker 1: seventy one. We got ten comments. 722 00:34:26,280 --> 00:34:27,720 Speaker 2: What the hell were talking about? 723 00:34:27,960 --> 00:34:30,239 Speaker 1: Is Kanye? Okay, we talked about Kanye West. Is I'm 724 00:34:30,239 --> 00:34:32,440 Speaker 1: gonna guess where most of the comments are from. Okay, 725 00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 1: that makes sense because I didn't even like I actually 726 00:34:34,520 --> 00:34:37,960 Speaker 1: listened to the SPAN report where he went through the 727 00:34:38,120 --> 00:34:41,120 Speaker 1: entire interview from TMZ and like line for line, and 728 00:34:41,600 --> 00:34:45,080 Speaker 1: so I finally heard it all in this like entirety, 729 00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:49,080 Speaker 1: you know, not it was exactly what I thought it was. Man, 730 00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:49,920 Speaker 1: I just don't. 731 00:34:49,640 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 2: Think he is. 732 00:34:52,320 --> 00:34:54,919 Speaker 1: Like either he's not all the way there or he's 733 00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:57,440 Speaker 1: putting on some type of act. Is the way I 734 00:34:57,480 --> 00:35:01,759 Speaker 1: came away. I don't think whatever this like, like Van 735 00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,880 Speaker 1: Lathan said it best when he said, you have morphed 736 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,799 Speaker 1: than to something that's not real. That's how it felt like. 737 00:35:06,840 --> 00:35:09,280 Speaker 1: Either he's and I saw like a thread on Twitter 738 00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,839 Speaker 1: that was really good that like broke down how this 739 00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:16,440 Speaker 1: could be like an Andy Kaufman asque act for Kanye, 740 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:20,640 Speaker 1: and they had like tweeter Twitter proof of like you know, 741 00:35:20,719 --> 00:35:24,400 Speaker 1: this could be him doing like an almost like Joaquin 742 00:35:24,440 --> 00:35:27,600 Speaker 1: Phoenix did a few years ago. I don't know if 743 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,279 Speaker 1: y'all remember that, but he was pretending to be a 744 00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:31,239 Speaker 1: rapper and going around. Everybody's like, what the fuck is 745 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: wrong Joaquin Phoenix and it turned out he was like 746 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:35,839 Speaker 1: this is performance art or some shit for some movie 747 00:35:35,920 --> 00:35:39,279 Speaker 1: he was doing. This could be some like performance art 748 00:35:39,360 --> 00:35:42,319 Speaker 1: level shit with Kanye. I don't know. I just know 749 00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:45,200 Speaker 1: it doesn't seem right. And then all this shit is 750 00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:48,040 Speaker 1: really triggering a lot of black people because when you 751 00:35:48,080 --> 00:35:50,960 Speaker 1: bring up slavery and Trump, you just get the community 752 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:54,880 Speaker 1: in a frenzy and there's all and Kanye is already 753 00:35:54,880 --> 00:35:57,279 Speaker 1: a very outspoken person, and there's already a lot of 754 00:35:57,320 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: animacity towards him for other shit he's done rightfully, so 755 00:36:00,920 --> 00:36:04,800 Speaker 1: you know, correct, But and of course, you know, dealing 756 00:36:04,840 --> 00:36:06,960 Speaker 1: with mental health stuff doesn't necessarily mean he can't be 757 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,320 Speaker 1: an ass, soh both can be true, right, But in general, 758 00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:12,720 Speaker 1: I just feel like, I don't know, all this feels 759 00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:17,120 Speaker 1: kind of contrived and weird to me. So it's either 760 00:36:17,160 --> 00:36:21,160 Speaker 1: he's having an episode or he's fucking with everybody. Either way, 761 00:36:21,239 --> 00:36:23,920 Speaker 1: I'm kind of I'm not here for it. I hope 762 00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:26,480 Speaker 1: the album comes out soon and we'll see whatever's going 763 00:36:26,520 --> 00:36:29,879 Speaker 1: on with him, you know, covid X says, Bro, I've 764 00:36:29,880 --> 00:36:32,200 Speaker 1: been pretty indifferent to Kanye he Shenanigans because I just 765 00:36:32,239 --> 00:36:34,600 Speaker 1: chop it down that that's just who he is. With 766 00:36:34,760 --> 00:36:36,799 Speaker 1: that said, you shown a level of empathy considered a 767 00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:39,120 Speaker 1: mental illness that made me sad. I just hope he 768 00:36:39,200 --> 00:36:43,680 Speaker 1: gets better, Bro, tvg WT for life now, I feel you, man. 769 00:36:43,719 --> 00:36:45,799 Speaker 1: I see that's the weird thing.

Correct, 816 00:38:53,800 --> 00:38:56,160 Speaker 1: It's just the way I am. So, you know, you 817 00:38:56,160 --> 00:38:58,560 Speaker 1: have to really fuck up for me to not be 818 00:38:58,600 --> 00:39:04,399 Speaker 1: able to see beyond your entertainment, like you gotta be yes, 819 00:39:04,560 --> 00:39:06,880 Speaker 1: you gotta be like R Kelly or something. You know, 820 00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,040 Speaker 1: I haven't watched The Cozy Show in so long. I 821 00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:12,319 Speaker 1: don't know how I would feel, so I would have 822 00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:14,400 Speaker 1: to try to watch it. But I have, but I 823 00:39:14,400 --> 00:39:16,759 Speaker 1: didn't watch it before he before all this shit. It 824 00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:18,239 Speaker 1: just wasn't my thing like that. 825 00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:20,839 Speaker 2: Yeah, I hadn't watched it. 826 00:39:22,040 --> 00:39:23,719 Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't I can't even speak to that, 827 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,359 Speaker 1: but you know, I know what R Kelly though. I'm like, 828 00:39:26,480 --> 00:39:28,520 Speaker 1: I can't listen to his music because it's it's so 829 00:39:28,600 --> 00:39:31,719 Speaker 1: sexual and I know what he's singing about, so you know, 830 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:35,200 Speaker 1: even I have my lines. But yeah, in general, I 831 00:39:35,239 --> 00:39:37,799 Speaker 1: don't know, Like I can't really be but so mad 832 00:39:37,800 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 1: at Kanye because I don't know that nigga, and I 833 00:39:40,200 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 1: do feel if he's having a mental health crisis that 834 00:39:43,160 --> 00:39:45,040 Speaker 1: he I hope he gets help. That's all I can 835 00:39:45,080 --> 00:39:47,880 Speaker 1: say other than that I can't take what he's saying seriously. 836 00:39:49,719 --> 00:39:53,640 Speaker 1: Hearing the audio this GWG. Hearing the audio of the 837 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:56,200 Speaker 1: Kanye Club was a totally different experience than seeing it 838 00:39:56,200 --> 00:39:58,640 Speaker 1: from me. His voice had such a desperation to it. It 839 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,760 Speaker 1: made me sad too. I wanted to commend van Lathan 840 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,440 Speaker 1: for standing up and speaking out with integrity and response 841 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,080 Speaker 1: with a clear example of having actual diversity of thought, 842 00:40:07,120 --> 00:40:10,280 Speaker 1: representing the newsroom pushing back against the status called narrative 843 00:40:10,440 --> 00:40:13,719 Speaker 1: that's being labeled as free thinking. Yeah, and also I 844 00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:16,160 Speaker 1: didn't know, but Harvey Levin, the guy who runs tim Z, 845 00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:19,080 Speaker 1: is a huge Trump supporter, supposedly, so it would make 846 00:40:19,120 --> 00:40:21,480 Speaker 1: sense that he wanted Kanye to come in there, and 847 00:40:22,040 --> 00:40:26,040 Speaker 1: he kept kind of steering Kanye towards a certain line 848 00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:29,640 Speaker 1: of like, well, tell, let's tell everybody about freethinking. And 849 00:40:30,080 --> 00:40:31,680 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think you can love everybody, but 850 00:40:31,840 --> 00:40:35,440 Speaker 1: just how free thinking? Because those white conservative people love 851 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,120 Speaker 1: when niggas are cooning to call it through freethinking. They 852 00:40:39,239 --> 00:40:42,600 Speaker 1: love it. But you know, my man Bomani Jones made 853 00:40:42,600 --> 00:40:45,200 Speaker 1: a great point on his podcast at the right time. 854 00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,719 Speaker 1: If they love freethinking black people that aren't affiliated with 855 00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:55,520 Speaker 1: political parties, then they would love Kaepernick. But they don't. 856 00:40:56,080 --> 00:40:59,839 Speaker 1: Kavinick don't even vote, you know, like he for all 857 00:40:59,840 --> 00:41:02,799 Speaker 1: the free thought, and we love people that they challenge us. 858 00:41:03,040 --> 00:41:05,440 Speaker 1: Don't you don't love that? You love people that challenge 859 00:41:05,480 --> 00:41:08,719 Speaker 1: black people to coon it up. You don't like when 860 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:10,920 Speaker 1: they challenge white people to be better white people. You 861 00:41:10,960 --> 00:41:15,040 Speaker 1: don't like that shit. I'm Sasha Pierce says, Kanye been 862 00:41:15,040 --> 00:41:17,440 Speaker 1: on some white supremacy shit for a while, like years, 863 00:41:17,680 --> 00:41:20,400 Speaker 1: the session with white women in his music and album imagery, 864 00:41:20,440 --> 00:41:22,919 Speaker 1: the Confederate flag on his merchandise a few years ago, 865 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:26,799 Speaker 1: the blue contacts and the blonde hair, and now the 866 00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:29,879 Speaker 1: Trump support and blaming black people for the atrocities against us. 867 00:41:30,040 --> 00:41:32,040 Speaker 1: He may very well be mentally to strip right now, 868 00:41:32,080 --> 00:41:34,560 Speaker 1: but if you seem genuine to me, he keeps doing this. 869 00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:37,120 Speaker 1: He's been consistent and embracing white supremacy, and this is 870 00:41:37,200 --> 00:41:39,440 Speaker 1: himself from blackness. I think he and I think he 871 00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,279 Speaker 1: means it. It's a sad picture of the toe America 872 00:41:42,680 --> 00:41:46,120 Speaker 1: has taken on that particular black man. This is a 873 00:41:46,239 --> 00:41:48,359 Speaker 1: very small thing to notice giving out a stuff he said, 874 00:41:48,360 --> 00:41:50,560 Speaker 1: But anyone else knows how you use the word y'all. 875 00:41:50,920 --> 00:41:53,759 Speaker 1: When he made that slavery statement, I was like, who 876 00:41:53,800 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 1: is y'all? Kanye? Y'all? Kanye is the new O J. 877 00:41:56,840 --> 00:41:59,799 Speaker 1: I wonder what Jay is thinking right now. I mean, Jay, 878 00:41:59,800 --> 00:42:02,359 Speaker 1: don't call that nigga. So I mean he's probably thinking 879 00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:04,920 Speaker 1: what I be thinking when I'm like, I'm glad I 880 00:42:04,920 --> 00:42:10,920 Speaker 1: ain't call that nigga. Well, I see somebody actors just 881 00:42:10,960 --> 00:42:13,799 Speaker 1: like fucking up everything on their brand, and I'll be like, 882 00:42:14,360 --> 00:42:16,560 Speaker 1: I'm glad. I'm kind of glad I never turned on 883 00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:17,680 Speaker 1: my fucker's phone call. 884 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:20,400 Speaker 2: I'd be like HomeOS Simpson, how he fades? 885 00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:24,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, Bush, good luck. But the other thing I will 886 00:42:24,640 --> 00:42:29,480 Speaker 1: say about this, though, I think people are upset and 887 00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:33,400 Speaker 1: so now everything Kanye's ever done has to be considered 888 00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:37,400 Speaker 1: to be white supremacists and selling out. The truth of 889 00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,320 Speaker 1: the matter is it is complicated. He has not always 890 00:42:40,360 --> 00:42:41,920 Speaker 1: just been on some shit like that. And I'm not 891 00:42:41,960 --> 00:42:45,160 Speaker 1: just talking about the George Bush doesn't like Black people 892 00:42:45,200 --> 00:42:47,919 Speaker 1: think he's as shitt in his songs, where I'm like, yeah, 893 00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,800 Speaker 1: that's clearly a black man who understands racism and living 894 00:42:51,840 --> 00:42:54,600 Speaker 1: in this world as a black person, you know what 895 00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:58,560 Speaker 1: I mean. So like, it's actually not as simple as Oh, 896 00:42:58,640 --> 00:43:01,680 Speaker 1: all he talks about is white women. I mean, that's 897 00:43:01,719 --> 00:43:05,080 Speaker 1: not true. He's also Beyonce's biggest stand and ran on 898 00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:07,960 Speaker 1: stage and to tell Taylor Switch she shouldn't have won 899 00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,640 Speaker 1: the Video of the Year, which is extremely inappropriate. But 900 00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:13,560 Speaker 1: I remember black people like fucking putting him on a 901 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:16,839 Speaker 1: pedestal for that moment, like, yeah, he's a jackass. But 902 00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 1: you know what, man, that video wasn't as good as 903 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,040 Speaker 1: Single Ladies. And she shouldn't have won for that bullshit. 904 00:43:22,239 --> 00:43:27,279 Speaker 1: She only want because she white. I think we're hurt that. 905 00:43:28,760 --> 00:43:31,200 Speaker 1: And by we, I speaking for the universal black people 906 00:43:31,200 --> 00:43:34,200 Speaker 1: that are hurt, right, I feel like we're hurt that 907 00:43:34,360 --> 00:43:37,359 Speaker 1: a black person would break ranks on us like this, 908 00:43:38,320 --> 00:43:44,440 Speaker 1: you know. But and especially a dude that has said 909 00:43:46,520 --> 00:43:49,920 Speaker 1: a lot of racial shit in his music, you know, 910 00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 1: and not just and and and and this is a 911 00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:58,080 Speaker 1: term for him. I don't like, I don't see how 912 00:43:58,120 --> 00:44:01,280 Speaker 1: we can act like this isn't the quote unquote worst 913 00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:06,160 Speaker 1: of the things he said, you know. But yeah, I mean, 914 00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:10,400 Speaker 1: like I said, he always he always had racial lyrics 915 00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:13,279 Speaker 1: that that niggas could identify with it, Like, it's just 916 00:44:13,360 --> 00:44:16,200 Speaker 1: weird how and maybe he's trended towards us and now 917 00:44:16,239 --> 00:44:18,839 Speaker 1: we're finally seeing fully for on Kanye and that's what 918 00:44:18,880 --> 00:44:21,440 Speaker 1: it is. But I mean a lot of people that 919 00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:23,600 Speaker 1: liked him it was because he was saying shit like 920 00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,680 Speaker 1: we shine because they hate us, false floss, because they 921 00:44:26,719 --> 00:44:31,120 Speaker 1: degrade us. We're trying to buy back our forty acres. 922 00:44:30,760 --> 00:44:34,280 Speaker 1: Is that him talking about selling out and being a coon? 923 00:44:35,120 --> 00:44:38,120 Speaker 1: I say, fuck the police, that's how That's how I 924 00:44:38,160 --> 00:44:39,880 Speaker 1: treat them. We buy way out of jail, but we 925 00:44:39,920 --> 00:44:47,279 Speaker 1: can't buy freedom. Jesus. Watch getting choked by detectives. Yeah yeah, 926 00:44:47,360 --> 00:44:50,360 Speaker 1: Now check the method. They be asking us questions, harassed 927 00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:52,560 Speaker 1: and arrest us, saying we eat pieces of shit like 928 00:44:52,600 --> 00:44:55,000 Speaker 1: you for breakfast. Ha, y'all eat pieces of shit? What's 929 00:44:55,040 --> 00:44:57,319 Speaker 1: the bases? We ain't going nowhere, but got suits and 930 00:44:57,400 --> 00:45:02,759 Speaker 1: cases like it's you know it's I get down for 931 00:45:02,880 --> 00:45:05,120 Speaker 1: my grandfather who took my mama, made a sit in 932 00:45:05,120 --> 00:45:07,239 Speaker 1: that seat where white folks ain't want us to eat 933 00:45:07,480 --> 00:45:09,400 Speaker 1: at the ten, that age of six, she was arrested 934 00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:11,600 Speaker 1: for the sittings. And with that in my blood, I 935 00:45:11,680 --> 00:45:14,399 Speaker 1: was born to be different. Now niggas can't make it 936 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:16,840 Speaker 1: to balance to choose leadership, but we can make it 937 00:45:16,880 --> 00:45:19,440 Speaker 1: to Jacobs into the dealership. I swear I hear new 938 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:21,680 Speaker 1: music and I just don't be feeling it. Racism is 939 00:45:21,719 --> 00:45:25,600 Speaker 1: still alive. They just be concealing it. It doesn't fit 940 00:45:25,680 --> 00:45:27,680 Speaker 1: the black and white narrative that we want to have 941 00:45:27,719 --> 00:45:30,360 Speaker 1: of him right now, which is this nigga just hate 942 00:45:30,600 --> 00:45:35,200 Speaker 1: like he hate himself, he hate black people. That's what 943 00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:39,640 Speaker 1: it is. Though his whole his whole discography, he has 944 00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:40,759 Speaker 1: shit like this in it. 945 00:45:41,560 --> 00:45:45,000 Speaker 3: And the thing is all this can exist at once, right, 946 00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,839 Speaker 3: I like people try to make it black and white. No, no, no, 947 00:45:47,880 --> 00:45:51,520 Speaker 3: it's a lot of particularly black men who acknowledge race 948 00:45:51,560 --> 00:45:53,640 Speaker 3: and racism. They know this shit exists, and they know 949 00:45:53,719 --> 00:45:57,720 Speaker 3: it impacts them, but on certain shit they opt out 950 00:45:58,400 --> 00:46:02,080 Speaker 3: to be like, oh that right, there is something else 951 00:46:02,640 --> 00:46:04,879 Speaker 3: because a lot of times when they opt out of shit, 952 00:46:04,920 --> 00:46:07,600 Speaker 3: this shit that does not directly impact them, or they 953 00:46:07,640 --> 00:46:10,600 Speaker 3: feel like or under the illusion that it does not 954 00:46:10,719 --> 00:46:12,560 Speaker 3: directly impact them. 955 00:46:13,320 --> 00:46:16,640 Speaker 1: How we stopped the Black Panthers, Ronald Reagan cooked up 956 00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:20,040 Speaker 1: an answer. You hear that what Gil Scott was hearing. 957 00:46:20,080 --> 00:46:22,680 Speaker 1: When our heroes and heroines got hooked on heroin crack 958 00:46:22,800 --> 00:46:25,560 Speaker 1: raised the murder rate in DC and Maryland. We invested 959 00:46:25,640 --> 00:46:28,160 Speaker 1: in that. It's like we got Merrill lynched and we've 960 00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:30,759 Speaker 1: been hanging on the same tree ever since. Sometimes I 961 00:46:30,760 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: feel like the movie is the music is our only medicine. 962 00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 1: Come on, man, Like, I'm just saying, Man, I know 963 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:44,919 Speaker 1: it's I know, I understand the angst and the hurt. 964 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,359 Speaker 1: I do. I'm not trying to belittle people for that, 965 00:46:48,160 --> 00:46:51,919 Speaker 1: but the conversation has gotten so clearly far off of 966 00:46:52,040 --> 00:46:55,040 Speaker 1: like it's more about admonishing him for his current comments, 967 00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:58,360 Speaker 1: and it's turned into an indictment on the guitarre like life. 968 00:46:58,960 --> 00:47:04,040 Speaker 1: But I just don't think he was ever he was. 969 00:47:04,160 --> 00:47:06,000 Speaker 1: I don't think he's as coon as people say, and 970 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:07,920 Speaker 1: I don't think he's as we as people say. Like 971 00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:11,160 Speaker 1: It's just I've always said, Kanye West to me is 972 00:47:11,239 --> 00:47:15,399 Speaker 1: kind of like Megan Kelly is the feminism. When it's 973 00:47:15,680 --> 00:47:17,480 Speaker 1: a point he wants to make or it's something that 974 00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:21,160 Speaker 1: affects him, he's completely with you, he understands. But then 975 00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:24,560 Speaker 1: there's times where he's like, I want to not think 976 00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,360 Speaker 1: about or deal with this shit, and that's y'all's problem, 977 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:31,200 Speaker 1: and that and that's the that's the the hypocrisy. And 978 00:47:31,200 --> 00:47:33,399 Speaker 1: maybe in a way that's even worse than just being 979 00:47:33,480 --> 00:47:37,440 Speaker 1: like a person that is like Canvas Owens or somebody 980 00:47:37,440 --> 00:47:40,640 Speaker 1: that just pretends they never see racism. It's almost worse 981 00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,880 Speaker 1: to a certain extent because it's like, but Kanye, I 982 00:47:42,960 --> 00:47:45,279 Speaker 1: know you see this shit and then you would turn 983 00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:48,200 Speaker 1: around to say these things, leaving us out in the 984 00:47:48,239 --> 00:47:51,640 Speaker 1: cold quote unquote because it's like you you're not stupid 985 00:47:52,360 --> 00:47:55,880 Speaker 1: and you're not and you're not a paid shield like 986 00:47:55,960 --> 00:47:58,520 Speaker 1: these like some of these motherfuckers, you know, like a 987 00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:01,640 Speaker 1: sheriff Clark is a paid shield. He gets paid to 988 00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,720 Speaker 1: come up and say black people ain't shit with Kanye 989 00:48:04,840 --> 00:48:07,799 Speaker 1: is like like the things that these other coons have said, 990 00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:10,120 Speaker 1: they would never say these other things that Kanye said. 991 00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,399 Speaker 1: Either you know, Jason Whitlow's not gonna write about this 992 00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,680 Speaker 1: other shit. He's gonna tell us how Serena's fat and 993 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:18,600 Speaker 1: black people don't do this and that you see what 994 00:48:18,600 --> 00:48:22,239 Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like Kanye is giving you shit where he's like, nah, 995 00:48:22,239 --> 00:48:26,600 Speaker 1: I see this racism too. I still remember murdered the 996 00:48:26,680 --> 00:48:32,320 Speaker 1: excellence on on on wash the Throne. I'm from the 997 00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,799 Speaker 1: murder capital where they murdered for Capitol. Heard about at 998 00:48:34,880 --> 00:48:37,560 Speaker 1: least three killings this afternoon. Looked at the news like damn. 999 00:48:37,600 --> 00:48:39,960 Speaker 1: I was just with him at the school, no shop class, 1000 00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:43,239 Speaker 1: but after school got a tool. I feel the plain 1001 00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:45,600 Speaker 1: in my city, wherever I go. Three hundred and fourteen 1002 00:48:45,600 --> 00:48:48,840 Speaker 1: soldiers died in Iraq, five hundred nine died in Chicago. 1003 00:48:50,520 --> 00:48:53,080 Speaker 1: He said, what's the life expected? Sleep for black guys? 1004 00:48:53,320 --> 00:48:56,839 Speaker 1: The systems working effectively. That's why So like, I don't 1005 00:48:56,880 --> 00:49:01,520 Speaker 1: know man anyway, many I could keep going, But I 1006 00:49:01,560 --> 00:49:03,799 Speaker 1: think y'all get it, you know what I mean, Like 1007 00:49:04,440 --> 00:49:07,399 Speaker 1: it isn't as simple as he's just always been this coon. 1008 00:49:07,560 --> 00:49:09,399 Speaker 1: And I think that's kind of why it hurts more 1009 00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:11,839 Speaker 1: to a certain extent, because he ain't always just been 1010 00:49:11,880 --> 00:49:13,839 Speaker 1: some fucking coon. If he would have been, I think 1011 00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:16,520 Speaker 1: niggas would have just never had fucked with him, correct, 1012 00:49:16,680 --> 00:49:19,560 Speaker 1: you know. Buckle and Shoe Bas says, I don't think 1013 00:49:19,600 --> 00:49:21,760 Speaker 1: Kanye is okay. I don't think he hasn't been okay 1014 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:24,040 Speaker 1: for I don't think he has been okay for hasn't 1015 00:49:24,080 --> 00:49:26,399 Speaker 1: been okay for a long time. It could be grief, 1016 00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:29,600 Speaker 1: drug addiction, mental illness. I remember when Charlie Sheen had 1017 00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:32,160 Speaker 1: his monsolone meltdown. People thought it was cool and funny 1018 00:49:32,200 --> 00:49:34,480 Speaker 1: because that's just Charlie Sheen, but it really turned out 1019 00:49:34,520 --> 00:49:37,319 Speaker 1: he was dealing with his HIV status and addiction. Maybe 1020 00:49:37,320 --> 00:49:39,399 Speaker 1: if everyone just stopped paying attention to Kanye. He would 1021 00:49:39,400 --> 00:49:42,360 Speaker 1: just sit down and get more help. I hate to 1022 00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,520 Speaker 1: also blame the Kardashians, but I seriously believe that Chris 1023 00:49:45,560 --> 00:49:48,879 Speaker 1: Jenner absolutely encourages the worse than everybody because America loves 1024 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:52,160 Speaker 1: watching this family's train wreck. I don't know enough about 1025 00:49:52,160 --> 00:49:55,920 Speaker 1: the Kardashians to know what Chris Jenner's role is, but 1026 00:49:56,200 --> 00:50:02,680 Speaker 1: I personally, I don't know. It just seemed like this would. 1027 00:50:03,880 --> 00:50:05,920 Speaker 1: I think Kanye would be doing this ship whether Kim 1028 00:50:06,080 --> 00:50:06,440 Speaker 1: was there or. 1029 00:50:06,440 --> 00:50:09,400 Speaker 3: Not, right, because the thing people tried to realize Kanye 1030 00:50:09,560 --> 00:50:11,680 Speaker 3: has always me on. 1031 00:50:11,600 --> 00:50:12,440 Speaker 2: The outside looking in. 1032 00:50:13,120 --> 00:50:17,200 Speaker 3: Kanye wants that attention, and he's been in the limelight 1033 00:50:17,280 --> 00:50:20,560 Speaker 3: and craving that attention for a while. He wrote a 1034 00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:23,160 Speaker 3: whole album by the woman he broke up with they 1035 00:50:23,200 --> 00:50:26,319 Speaker 3: no longer go together. He dedicated a whole album to 1036 00:50:26,480 --> 00:50:30,480 Speaker 3: this woman. Right, So everything is the centers around him 1037 00:50:30,640 --> 00:50:33,080 Speaker 3: and which is human nature, and it has to be 1038 00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:36,759 Speaker 3: about him. And so I don't think being connected to 1039 00:50:36,760 --> 00:50:41,160 Speaker 3: the Kardashians or not, he was going to make his 1040 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:43,839 Speaker 3: way to the spotlight. And I think, like you said, 1041 00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:47,319 Speaker 3: after the fact, like after the fact, and like you said, 1042 00:50:47,360 --> 00:50:49,560 Speaker 3: everybody's mass. They're kicking up everything. They want to blame 1043 00:50:49,560 --> 00:50:54,200 Speaker 3: everybody but Kardashians. That's a separate end of day all 1044 00:50:54,239 --> 00:50:54,760 Speaker 3: in itself. 1045 00:50:55,680 --> 00:50:56,080 Speaker 2: Who knows. 1046 00:50:56,080 --> 00:50:58,080 Speaker 1: But also like one of the reason I don't bout 1047 00:50:58,080 --> 00:51:01,520 Speaker 1: this Kardashian shit, the Kardashians don't. 1048 00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:02,560 Speaker 2: Do this right. 1049 00:51:02,680 --> 00:51:05,759 Speaker 1: So it's so like, on the one hand, it's kind 1050 00:51:05,760 --> 00:51:10,319 Speaker 1: of it's kind of some it doesn't ring true to 1051 00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:12,719 Speaker 1: me because the Kardashians like to do shit like talking 1052 00:51:12,719 --> 00:51:15,160 Speaker 1: about what sundwiches they're going to eat and make a 1053 00:51:15,200 --> 00:51:17,600 Speaker 1: whole fucking our TV out of that, and some reasons 1054 00:51:17,680 --> 00:51:20,480 Speaker 1: people watch that shit. It's not like love and hip hop. 1055 00:51:20,520 --> 00:51:23,120 Speaker 1: Love and hip hop does this kind of like Wold 1056 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:27,440 Speaker 1: Tantrum crazy. The Kardashians are so controlled that I almost 1057 00:51:27,480 --> 00:51:30,520 Speaker 1: don't understand how to fuck anyone watches that shit because 1058 00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:33,840 Speaker 1: to me it is boring. My assumption is it's because 1059 00:51:33,840 --> 00:51:36,319 Speaker 1: they're cuckhoat in America. Everybody's just what of these white 1060 00:51:36,320 --> 00:51:38,640 Speaker 1: women doing with these niggas. It's the only thing I 1061 00:51:38,640 --> 00:51:40,239 Speaker 1: can think of why people are watching it, But I 1062 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:41,759 Speaker 1: don't watch it, so I can't tell. I don't know 1063 00:51:41,800 --> 00:51:44,040 Speaker 1: for sure. It might just you go over there and 1064 00:51:44,040 --> 00:51:47,120 Speaker 1: it's great makeup tatorios and they're rich and whatever. But 1065 00:51:47,160 --> 00:51:50,160 Speaker 1: they don't even seem to have much stuff happening on 1066 00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,640 Speaker 1: the show. Anytime I've ever seen in the background or something, 1067 00:51:53,640 --> 00:51:56,279 Speaker 1: it's always just like, oh, are we gonna get into 1068 00:51:56,280 --> 00:51:59,040 Speaker 1: this spun And that's like the whole fucking episode, Like 1069 00:51:59,400 --> 00:52:02,920 Speaker 1: when you're gonna it's fine, and it's fine, and I'm like, 1070 00:52:03,360 --> 00:52:06,280 Speaker 1: there's nothing even to get upset about or to whatever. 1071 00:52:06,880 --> 00:52:10,440 Speaker 1: When lamar Odham's addiction shit was happening, guess what happened 1072 00:52:10,480 --> 00:52:13,080 Speaker 1: off screen? Right, They don't really revel in this kind 1073 00:52:13,120 --> 00:52:16,279 Speaker 1: of shit, Like they quietly move the fuck away from 1074 00:52:16,320 --> 00:52:19,560 Speaker 1: these kind of things, even though they definitely court these niggas. 1075 00:52:19,600 --> 00:52:21,840 Speaker 1: So I don't even feel like like this kind of 1076 00:52:21,840 --> 00:52:23,719 Speaker 1: shit won't even be on their show. They'll cut this 1077 00:52:23,800 --> 00:52:26,879 Speaker 1: out because they like to pretend that they're perfect, while 1078 00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:29,680 Speaker 1: we obviously know that there's all this other shit going 1079 00:52:29,719 --> 00:52:32,359 Speaker 1: on in the background, you know, like apparently they don't 1080 00:52:32,360 --> 00:52:34,880 Speaker 1: really even mention the sex tape on this show. So 1081 00:52:35,000 --> 00:52:38,319 Speaker 1: like they just don't seem to like need this kind 1082 00:52:38,320 --> 00:52:41,120 Speaker 1: of shit to be popular and rich, Like they already 1083 00:52:41,160 --> 00:52:44,480 Speaker 1: sell out clothes, make up everything perfumes, like all the 1084 00:52:44,520 --> 00:52:48,200 Speaker 1: beauty shit they sell out immediately. Like I don't know, man, 1085 00:52:48,360 --> 00:52:51,239 Speaker 1: I don't know. I just think Kanye is either like 1086 00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:54,919 Speaker 1: I said, he's either being provocative on purpose, which he's 1087 00:52:54,920 --> 00:52:57,399 Speaker 1: done a lot in his career, very consistent with that, 1088 00:52:58,400 --> 00:53:02,200 Speaker 1: or this nigga is having an episode. I can't think 1089 00:53:02,239 --> 00:53:07,200 Speaker 1: of another excuse, and honestly, I'm trying not to even 1090 00:53:07,320 --> 00:53:11,319 Speaker 1: delve into it that hard because not to be mean 1091 00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:13,600 Speaker 1: to him, but to the large extent of it, I 1092 00:53:13,600 --> 00:53:16,319 Speaker 1: don't care. It doesn't really affect my life. I don't 1093 00:53:16,320 --> 00:53:18,239 Speaker 1: follow the nigga on Twitter. I don't be caring what 1094 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:19,960 Speaker 1: he's saying. I think I got him mute to him 1095 00:53:20,239 --> 00:53:23,520 Speaker 1: all that type of shit. I just I it just 1096 00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,239 Speaker 1: kept being in this Black spear so much. We had 1097 00:53:26,280 --> 00:53:29,200 Speaker 1: to talk about it, right. I tried to avoid talking 1098 00:53:29,200 --> 00:53:30,960 Speaker 1: about this nigga for like two weeks, and then he 1099 00:53:31,120 --> 00:53:33,520 Speaker 1: just kept going to us like, well, everyone's talking about 1100 00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:36,279 Speaker 1: it and we just be signing stupid trying to avoid it. 1101 00:53:37,160 --> 00:53:39,359 Speaker 1: Turk says, Hi, guys, Kanye is not well. He made 1102 00:53:39,400 --> 00:53:41,719 Speaker 1: me think of the old school phrase stark raven mad 1103 00:53:42,040 --> 00:53:44,440 Speaker 1: when he was on TMZ. This man is highly intelligent, 1104 00:53:44,480 --> 00:53:47,480 Speaker 1: but couldn't put together COHESI logical thought. His mom was 1105 00:53:47,520 --> 00:53:49,680 Speaker 1: an English professor, and his craft is writing, so he 1106 00:53:49,719 --> 00:53:51,840 Speaker 1: knows how to use words with intent. It's clear his 1107 00:53:51,920 --> 00:53:53,480 Speaker 1: brain is running a mile a minute and he can't 1108 00:53:53,560 --> 00:53:56,560 Speaker 1: keep up with his thoughts his family. Yeah, and he's 1109 00:53:56,760 --> 00:54:00,000 Speaker 1: when I heard the interview where Span broke it down, 1110 00:54:00,560 --> 00:54:04,480 Speaker 1: like he's saying stuff about being off his men's and stuff, 1111 00:54:04,760 --> 00:54:08,759 Speaker 1: it just seemed like a lot of cry for help 1112 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:12,160 Speaker 1: type shit. But I don't know, you know, I don't know. 1113 00:54:12,960 --> 00:54:16,240 Speaker 1: His family should be scared because he admitted to self medicating, 1114 00:54:16,280 --> 00:54:18,200 Speaker 1: which means he's already unable to head to his mental 1115 00:54:18,200 --> 00:54:20,560 Speaker 1: health responsibly. That mixed with the fact that he was 1116 00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:23,239 Speaker 1: already a narcisst with delusions of grandeur, on top of 1117 00:54:23,239 --> 00:54:26,000 Speaker 1: the Black community already generally being hesitant about seeking treatment. 1118 00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:28,440 Speaker 1: II call him in the ill people touched or special 1119 00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:30,759 Speaker 1: prayer in the sick a way, andstrusting the medical establishment 1120 00:54:31,080 --> 00:54:33,480 Speaker 1: not having good insurance if any, feeling that therapy is 1121 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:36,400 Speaker 1: for white folks may turn into a daily combination. I 1122 00:54:36,480 --> 00:54:39,480 Speaker 1: just hope his wife puts her foot down, because ultimately 1123 00:54:39,560 --> 00:54:41,239 Speaker 1: it will be her and the kids who are hurt 1124 00:54:41,239 --> 00:54:44,799 Speaker 1: the most. Hopefully he'll love them enough to seek help. 1125 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,399 Speaker 1: Peace turt Ps. It's scared to me that people are 1126 00:54:47,520 --> 00:54:50,640 Speaker 1: entertained by this or think it's funny. We're watching Whitney Houston. 1127 00:54:51,120 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 1: Prince and MJ died recently because they couldn't get it together. 1128 00:54:54,400 --> 00:54:57,040 Speaker 1: You know, we did. I guess people are fine with 1129 00:54:57,080 --> 00:54:59,759 Speaker 1: the psycho repeating itself while ignoring these people's families and 1130 00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:04,480 Speaker 1: get hurt when these folks have preventable early deaths. You 1131 00:55:04,520 --> 00:55:07,160 Speaker 1: know what it is dog to a certain extent, it's 1132 00:55:07,239 --> 00:55:09,879 Speaker 1: nothing you can do by yourself anyway, as a fan, 1133 00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:13,640 Speaker 1: it's nothing you can do, right, so people And I 1134 00:55:13,680 --> 00:55:17,840 Speaker 1: think celebrity and fame makes people callous. It's like this 1135 00:55:17,960 --> 00:55:19,839 Speaker 1: is a product for men to consume and that's all 1136 00:55:19,880 --> 00:55:20,800 Speaker 1: these people are. 1137 00:55:21,280 --> 00:55:22,680 Speaker 2: You know, and they don't look at them as a 1138 00:55:22,719 --> 00:55:23,719 Speaker 2: human beings. Yeah. 1139 00:55:23,800 --> 00:55:25,960 Speaker 1: I mean there's been people that have had breakdowns where 1140 00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:27,920 Speaker 1: they weren't saying stuff like this, but you could tell 1141 00:55:27,960 --> 00:55:31,279 Speaker 1: that they were having they were having issues. And I 1142 00:55:31,360 --> 00:55:35,320 Speaker 1: remember people laughing at it, you know, Wacko Jacko and 1143 00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,600 Speaker 1: Britney Spears cutting their hair off and shit. I remember 1144 00:55:38,600 --> 00:55:41,440 Speaker 1: the jokes and shit people had about it. It's they 1145 00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:43,920 Speaker 1: don't see them as as people. If they were like 1146 00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:46,200 Speaker 1: your friend and they did that shit, you'd be like, man, 1147 00:55:46,239 --> 00:55:48,080 Speaker 1: I want to talk to you, like do we need 1148 00:55:48,120 --> 00:55:50,120 Speaker 1: to get you in treatment or something? What's going on? 1149 00:55:50,680 --> 00:55:52,840 Speaker 1: But since we can't, we don't have that access to 1150 00:55:52,920 --> 00:55:56,239 Speaker 1: him anyway. But because he's famous, we have a lot 1151 00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:00,440 Speaker 1: of access to him just via like famous celebrit and 1152 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,120 Speaker 1: social media now and shit. I think it just creates 1153 00:56:03,160 --> 00:56:06,000 Speaker 1: an illusion to closeness, but nobody really cares about these people. 1154 00:56:07,040 --> 00:56:09,120 Speaker 1: Marcy says, I kind of feel bad for Kanye. If 1155 00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:12,160 Speaker 1: he's being sincere, then I think he's unintentionally demonstrating to 1156 00:56:12,200 --> 00:56:14,600 Speaker 1: the world what black people have to deal with sin, slavery, 1157 00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,399 Speaker 1: self love, and perpetuated by white supremacy. I really hope 1158 00:56:17,440 --> 00:56:19,359 Speaker 1: you get some help. And this is himself from some 1159 00:56:19,400 --> 00:56:21,440 Speaker 1: white people in the circle who I feel must be 1160 00:56:21,840 --> 00:56:24,920 Speaker 1: lending credence to hiss fuck up mentality Cough Caitlyn Cough. 1161 00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:28,200 Speaker 1: I really liked Easter Ray's book listen to or read 1162 00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:30,239 Speaker 1: it on audio, which is way better than just reading it, 1163 00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:31,759 Speaker 1: and I think she was making a really good point 1164 00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:34,360 Speaker 1: about how attraction is skewed away from certain groups. I 1165 00:56:34,360 --> 00:56:36,800 Speaker 1: think it's culturally problematic that so many people chalk it 1166 00:56:36,880 --> 00:56:39,279 Speaker 1: up to personal preference and don't explore why they have 1167 00:56:39,320 --> 00:56:41,560 Speaker 1: a certain preference. I think if you open your eyes 1168 00:56:41,560 --> 00:56:43,200 Speaker 1: to the people around you, it's only too easy to 1169 00:56:43,200 --> 00:56:46,200 Speaker 1: see there's beauty in everyone. Cultural norms want to blind 1170 00:56:46,320 --> 00:56:48,600 Speaker 1: us to that, but it doesn't take much to let 1171 00:56:48,640 --> 00:56:51,320 Speaker 1: out that nonsense drop. I've been doing this thing lately. 1172 00:56:51,320 --> 00:56:53,400 Speaker 1: When I approach any situation, I ask myself when I'm 1173 00:56:53,400 --> 00:56:55,840 Speaker 1: responded with love or with fear. When I turn to 1174 00:56:55,920 --> 00:56:58,560 Speaker 1: my love response, it never feels amazing how much better 1175 00:56:58,600 --> 00:57:03,120 Speaker 1: things work out. It's a good point. I recently had 1176 00:57:03,160 --> 00:57:04,880 Speaker 1: an experience that tested this idea, and it was a 1177 00:57:04,880 --> 00:57:06,560 Speaker 1: big one. My fifteen year old told me that he 1178 00:57:06,600 --> 00:57:09,800 Speaker 1: is trans. He was born female, and everything I understood 1179 00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:11,880 Speaker 1: about him up until this point is now a little different. 1180 00:57:12,239 --> 00:57:14,239 Speaker 1: At first, my fears got the better of me, and 1181 00:57:14,320 --> 00:57:16,520 Speaker 1: I wasn't sure I could believe it. I said things like, 1182 00:57:16,600 --> 00:57:19,160 Speaker 1: are you sure you're not just gender fluid or androgeness, etc. 1183 00:57:19,760 --> 00:57:21,800 Speaker 1: I couldn't stop thinking about the trans people who are 1184 00:57:21,840 --> 00:57:24,000 Speaker 1: killed every day and the violence they suffer. This is 1185 00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:26,600 Speaker 1: my only child, How would I protect them ultimately. The 1186 00:57:26,640 --> 00:57:30,560 Speaker 1: love response one though, one through because what he needed 1187 00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,360 Speaker 1: from me was acceptance and support. My fears are mine 1188 00:57:33,400 --> 00:57:35,560 Speaker 1: to deal with. My job is to love him for 1189 00:57:36,160 --> 00:57:38,600 Speaker 1: whoever he tells me he is. Come on all this 1190 00:57:38,680 --> 00:57:40,720 Speaker 1: to say, I love you guys. Your podcasts helped me 1191 00:57:40,720 --> 00:57:42,280 Speaker 1: so much in terms of dealing with the political or 1192 00:57:42,320 --> 00:57:44,920 Speaker 1: social climent we are living through. When I argue with 1193 00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:47,280 Speaker 1: other white people, I know I'm not crazy because nothing 1194 00:57:47,320 --> 00:57:50,560 Speaker 1: I'm saying it's controversial to normal people just insulated pay 1195 00:57:50,640 --> 00:57:52,440 Speaker 1: the ass. White folks would probably have never met a 1196 00:57:52,440 --> 00:57:55,720 Speaker 1: black person. So thank you. Yeah, that's dope, man. 1197 00:57:55,920 --> 00:57:58,240 Speaker 3: And something you said it was very, very powerful, and 1198 00:57:58,280 --> 00:57:59,920 Speaker 3: I wish more people would deal with this. 1199 00:58:01,280 --> 00:58:02,240 Speaker 2: My fears are. 1200 00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 1: Mine to deal with. 1201 00:58:03,520 --> 00:58:03,680 Speaker 4: Right. 1202 00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:09,560 Speaker 3: So many people enter into arguments and ending situations with 1203 00:58:09,640 --> 00:58:12,920 Speaker 3: fears and hurts that they actually need to deal with 1204 00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,280 Speaker 3: that has nothing to do with the conversation at hand. 1205 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:18,880 Speaker 3: And that's why whenever you talk to people, they always 1206 00:58:18,880 --> 00:58:20,640 Speaker 3: want to change the topic because they want to get 1207 00:58:20,640 --> 00:58:22,160 Speaker 3: back to the shit that they want to talk about, 1208 00:58:22,240 --> 00:58:25,000 Speaker 3: not about the topic at hand. Because the thing is, 1209 00:58:25,280 --> 00:58:28,320 Speaker 3: once you've dealt with your fears, you can actually have 1210 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,840 Speaker 3: a conversation. But until then, it's very hard to have 1211 00:58:30,920 --> 00:58:33,280 Speaker 3: conversations with people, and a lot of times you have 1212 00:58:33,360 --> 00:58:35,640 Speaker 3: to look beyond what they're saying and try to figure 1213 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:36,720 Speaker 3: out why they're saying it. 1214 00:58:36,760 --> 00:58:39,400 Speaker 2: And like you say, where is it coming from? 1215 00:58:39,560 --> 00:58:41,520 Speaker 3: If it's coming from a certain ever, you go, oh, 1216 00:58:41,600 --> 00:58:43,720 Speaker 3: I'm not gonna talk to you right now, because your 1217 00:58:43,840 --> 00:58:45,439 Speaker 3: comment is coming out of hurting pain. 1218 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:47,240 Speaker 2: We can't have a conversation at this time. 1219 00:58:47,520 --> 00:58:49,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, And also, I feel like there's a lot of 1220 00:58:49,880 --> 00:58:53,760 Speaker 1: stuff that in reality, in the real world, it is 1221 00:58:53,800 --> 00:58:56,520 Speaker 1: more complicated and harder to do than what we say 1222 00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:00,600 Speaker 1: on paper and on a show and all this stuff, 1223 00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:02,920 Speaker 1: like there's always like this easy, like oh, then you 1224 00:59:03,000 --> 00:59:05,360 Speaker 1: just do this, But when you're actually dealing with these 1225 00:59:05,400 --> 00:59:08,600 Speaker 1: fears and stuff like that, there's a moment that you 1226 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:10,560 Speaker 1: have to take the brace yourself. There is like a 1227 00:59:11,320 --> 00:59:13,240 Speaker 1: stealing of your resolve, and then there is like a 1228 00:59:13,240 --> 00:59:15,440 Speaker 1: prioritization that has to come when you're like, it's not 1229 00:59:15,480 --> 00:59:18,080 Speaker 1: about me, you know, and all that stuff is valid 1230 00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:21,360 Speaker 1: as well, And you know, I think like that process 1231 00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:23,760 Speaker 1: is something that a lot of people don't put people 1232 00:59:23,840 --> 00:59:26,160 Speaker 1: through because you know, they either get stuck on it 1233 00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:27,680 Speaker 1: and they do make it all about them and they 1234 00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:32,400 Speaker 1: never move to the next step, or they're so busy 1235 00:59:32,560 --> 00:59:37,120 Speaker 1: like trying to put on a front for everybody that 1236 00:59:37,160 --> 00:59:40,600 Speaker 1: they don't say like, yeah, it blew my mind too, 1237 00:59:40,760 --> 00:59:42,680 Speaker 1: And you know what, I want to do the right 1238 00:59:42,680 --> 00:59:44,680 Speaker 1: things and be here for you, you know, and that's 1239 00:59:44,680 --> 00:59:47,720 Speaker 1: what's most important. And your child doesn't have to necessarily 1240 00:59:47,720 --> 00:59:50,480 Speaker 1: know that part of it, you know, because that's what 1241 00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:54,040 Speaker 1: parents do. You know, it took me. I remember when 1242 00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,919 Speaker 1: we first started trying to do the podcast full time. 1243 00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:58,800 Speaker 1: I was riving with my dad from I think picking 1244 00:59:58,840 --> 01:00:02,160 Speaker 1: up a washing machine or something, and we were talking 1245 01:00:02,160 --> 01:00:04,080 Speaker 1: and he was just asking me so many questions about 1246 01:00:04,080 --> 01:00:06,200 Speaker 1: starting this podcast. Was I was gonna be do? What 1247 01:00:06,240 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 1: was I gonna do to jedda a parent? But you know, 1248 01:00:09,360 --> 01:00:12,720 Speaker 1: that's his job to impart wisdom on me and to 1249 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:15,240 Speaker 1: make sure I'm okay and making right decisions and stuff. 1250 01:00:15,840 --> 01:00:19,440 Speaker 1: And you know, I don't know when we got out 1251 01:00:19,480 --> 01:00:21,120 Speaker 1: that truck that he was the most convinced that we 1252 01:00:21,160 --> 01:00:25,160 Speaker 1: could do it. But it didn't matter, like he imparted 1253 01:00:25,200 --> 01:00:29,400 Speaker 1: that part of like the fear, that fear is there 1254 01:00:29,440 --> 01:00:32,440 Speaker 1: for him and will always be there because he brought 1255 01:00:32,440 --> 01:00:36,400 Speaker 1: me into this world and i'm and i'm His job 1256 01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:39,880 Speaker 1: was to take care of me, so so he will 1257 01:00:39,960 --> 01:00:43,520 Speaker 1: forever be concerned My mom too, Like this is what happens. 1258 01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:45,680 Speaker 1: You know, you will always be concerned about my well 1259 01:00:45,720 --> 01:00:49,560 Speaker 1: being and my safety and my decision making. So, you know, 1260 01:00:49,680 --> 01:00:52,000 Speaker 1: I think that's a part of it that gets lost. 1261 01:00:52,040 --> 01:00:54,720 Speaker 1: But it's always cool when people can like overcome that 1262 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:56,640 Speaker 1: part and be like, well, what do you need from me? 1263 01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:00,520 Speaker 1: Because that's really the only part that matters how scared 1264 01:01:00,560 --> 01:01:02,200 Speaker 1: you are, and I'll. 1265 01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:04,520 Speaker 3: Be here no matter what.

Supposedly that dude's joking. 1299 01:02:40,800 --> 01:02:42,840 Speaker 1: So if he's joking, and I understand how people could 1300 01:02:42,880 --> 01:02:44,360 Speaker 1: be like, but it's just a joke. 1301 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:44,760 Speaker 5: You know. 1302 01:02:44,960 --> 01:02:48,800 Speaker 1: It's hard when people taking and Twitter does this too, 1303 01:02:48,840 --> 01:02:51,560 Speaker 1: but taking a joke and put it into a different 1304 01:02:51,560 --> 01:02:55,720 Speaker 1: context or taking it out of context can completely destroy it. 1305 01:02:55,760 --> 01:02:57,680 Speaker 1: There's things you can take a sentence from this show 1306 01:02:58,440 --> 01:03:00,600 Speaker 1: and make it seem like we said something we didn't 1307 01:03:00,720 --> 01:03:03,000 Speaker 1: on Twitter, yes, and then people would be like, what 1308 01:03:03,040 --> 01:03:04,480 Speaker 1: the fuck? And then they go listen to us and 1309 01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:06,280 Speaker 1: be like, what they didn't They didn't even say that, 1310 01:03:06,280 --> 01:03:08,440 Speaker 1: That's not what they meant, you know. So I can 1311 01:03:08,600 --> 01:03:12,520 Speaker 1: understand how somebody would, you know, maybe feel that way. 1312 01:03:12,560 --> 01:03:15,600 Speaker 1: Maybe it's in the context of eros show. The comment 1313 01:03:15,720 --> 01:03:18,560 Speaker 1: wasn't that salacious, But when you wouldn't put that shit 1314 01:03:18,600 --> 01:03:22,040 Speaker 1: on Twitter, nigga's different, you know. So anyway, all that 1315 01:03:22,120 --> 01:03:26,880 Speaker 1: to say, you know, Easter's Book to me had a point, 1316 01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:32,680 Speaker 1: but Motherfuckers was ready to go off. Brendan's b Moore says, Hey, 1317 01:03:32,760 --> 01:03:34,760 Speaker 1: Rid and Karen, after hearing that pattes from Easter Ray Book, 1318 01:03:34,760 --> 01:03:37,840 Speaker 1: I laughed just like y'all did. First thing I bought 1319 01:03:38,240 --> 01:03:40,240 Speaker 1: I thought of was all the rap songs where dudes 1320 01:03:40,280 --> 01:03:42,760 Speaker 1: go on and all about foreign women. Hell, I've heard 1321 01:03:42,800 --> 01:03:44,960 Speaker 1: my boys talk like that for years. This laugh about 1322 01:03:44,960 --> 01:03:47,680 Speaker 1: that masculine, is that fragile. That's the part that was 1323 01:03:47,680 --> 01:03:50,600 Speaker 1: funny to me, being a man, I've been in those conversations. 1324 01:03:50,640 --> 01:03:53,760 Speaker 1: It's so it's so ridiculous. Oh man, you know, I'm like, 1325 01:03:53,800 --> 01:03:56,400 Speaker 1: I like them farms. I like man, she had them 1326 01:03:56,480 --> 01:03:59,400 Speaker 1: chinky eyes and shit like that. When you're like, that's 1327 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:01,760 Speaker 1: a problem, well, this is. I mean, they used to 1328 01:04:01,760 --> 01:04:04,280 Speaker 1: put it in songs. It wasn't like, I mean, it's 1329 01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:07,160 Speaker 1: obviously problematic, but I'm saying it was the idea that 1330 01:04:07,280 --> 01:04:09,840 Speaker 1: men would pretend to be offended. It's ridiculous because it 1331 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:12,840 Speaker 1: was so widespread. It's like, I've never seen anyone stop 1332 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:15,840 Speaker 1: and go, what the fuck you mean chinky eyes? Nigga, 1333 01:04:16,360 --> 01:04:20,360 Speaker 1: that is racist and erasier and nah. They always just 1334 01:04:20,400 --> 01:04:22,040 Speaker 1: either go I know what it means and yeah, I 1335 01:04:22,080 --> 01:04:23,560 Speaker 1: like that shit too, or something like that. 1336 01:04:23,680 --> 01:04:23,920 Speaker 5: You know. 1337 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:28,600 Speaker 1: So to see men pretend to be offended was stupid. However, 1338 01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:30,400 Speaker 1: a funny thing came of it. I started thinking about 1339 01:04:30,400 --> 01:04:32,760 Speaker 1: the most fragile masculinity rap songs of all time, and 1340 01:04:32,760 --> 01:04:36,480 Speaker 1: I landed on Sporty Thieves No Pigeon song. I remember 1341 01:04:36,520 --> 01:04:39,000 Speaker 1: what TLC had no scrubs and the song came out 1342 01:04:39,040 --> 01:04:40,600 Speaker 1: and I was like, it was like a real life 1343 01:04:40,680 --> 01:04:43,360 Speaker 1: Twitter argument. But the funniest thing I'm listening to now 1344 01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:45,919 Speaker 1: is the TLC song was basically like I don't want 1345 01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:48,680 Speaker 1: no street harassing Twitter nigga, and No Pigeons was basically 1346 01:04:48,720 --> 01:04:50,960 Speaker 1: like these bitches ain't shit, So yeah, any nigga mad 1347 01:04:50,960 --> 01:04:53,640 Speaker 1: about this shit needs to have all the seeds. Yeah, 1348 01:04:53,880 --> 01:04:55,720 Speaker 1: No Pigeons was a horrible song. 1349 01:04:56,040 --> 01:04:56,840 Speaker 2: Yes, it was. 1350 01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:02,440 Speaker 1: God whatever having a sporty thieves. And then uh, i'my, 1351 01:05:02,760 --> 01:05:07,200 Speaker 1: I have to think about what the most fragile fragile male. 1352 01:05:07,760 --> 01:05:10,160 Speaker 1: I don't I have to think about it, you know, 1353 01:05:10,200 --> 01:05:15,080 Speaker 1: I know, Uh, I know to Uh Too Short came 1354 01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,960 Speaker 1: out with a song after my neck my back and 1355 01:05:17,960 --> 01:05:20,720 Speaker 1: it was like, uh telling women to suck his dick, 1356 01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,040 Speaker 1: and I was like, don't we have is it every 1357 01:05:23,040 --> 01:05:25,680 Speaker 1: one of your songs about telling women to suck your dick? 1358 01:05:25,800 --> 01:05:28,400 Speaker 1: Like you got songs? Did you have to make did 1359 01:05:28,480 --> 01:05:31,520 Speaker 1: you have to make a response? Too Short sitting around 1360 01:05:31,520 --> 01:05:33,880 Speaker 1: somewhere like she's gonna have niggas even for it. I 1361 01:05:33,920 --> 01:05:37,680 Speaker 1: can't take it. And then uh, then there was a 1362 01:05:37,720 --> 01:05:41,320 Speaker 1: song where ghost Face got cheated on or some ship, 1363 01:05:41,560 --> 01:05:45,440 Speaker 1: and then he wrote this mean ass song things called Wildflower. 1364 01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:48,320 Speaker 1: Maybe was like, yeah, pechr fuck your friend. 1365 01:05:48,400 --> 01:05:49,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, you stay home. 1366 01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:52,200 Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking about. I was like, like, 1367 01:05:52,240 --> 01:05:54,800 Speaker 1: it's all about how he used to fuck us so good, 1368 01:05:54,840 --> 01:05:57,200 Speaker 1: but she still was out here fucking other niggas or whatever. 1369 01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:02,440 Speaker 1: Maybe that, but you know how we are trash. Tanya 1370 01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:04,760 Speaker 1: W forty two says, this is feedback on sending the 1371 01:06:04,800 --> 01:06:06,880 Speaker 1: both three guys on and the Blackout tips because both 1372 01:06:06,880 --> 01:06:09,560 Speaker 1: of you addressed this. Okay about Kanye. I'm a petite 1373 01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:11,800 Speaker 1: white lady, but I have been in the past, been 1374 01:06:11,800 --> 01:06:14,440 Speaker 1: in the committed relationship with someone who is bipolar or 1375 01:06:14,480 --> 01:06:17,880 Speaker 1: at least has had several manic episodes. Is that what 1376 01:06:18,040 --> 01:06:22,000 Speaker 1: Kanye is experiencing. The psychological community will not publicly weigh 1377 01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:24,600 Speaker 1: in because they have the gold Water Rule, which states 1378 01:06:24,600 --> 01:06:27,920 Speaker 1: that they can't diagnose someone they haven't personally treated. But 1379 01:06:27,960 --> 01:06:30,520 Speaker 1: I'm not a psychologist, so I can say what I will. 1380 01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:33,120 Speaker 1: Kanye is hurting, no doubt, but I think he may 1381 01:06:33,160 --> 01:06:35,800 Speaker 1: be manic. The behavior definitely looks like it. The voice 1382 01:06:35,840 --> 01:06:38,560 Speaker 1: is sure is a sure tip off and some clips 1383 01:06:38,560 --> 01:06:41,240 Speaker 1: he sounds okay, but TMZ ranning was all too familiar. 1384 01:06:41,320 --> 01:06:45,240 Speaker 1: Mania follows a very similar pattern as self aggrandizement to 1385 01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:48,320 Speaker 1: the extreme, but based in even the smallest amount on facts. 1386 01:06:48,360 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 1: As a hallmark in my experience, it is so difficult 1387 01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:53,959 Speaker 1: to help someone who is afflicted by that. I tried 1388 01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,640 Speaker 1: and tried and tried to get my personal help. Apparently, 1389 01:06:56,680 --> 01:06:58,840 Speaker 1: if you don't catch them into two seconds between when 1390 01:06:58,880 --> 01:07:01,400 Speaker 1: they are okay and when they are full blown manic, 1391 01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:03,560 Speaker 1: that is pretty much how quick it is you are 1392 01:07:03,560 --> 01:07:06,080 Speaker 1: out of luck unless you forcibly commit them. I wasn't 1393 01:07:06,080 --> 01:07:07,919 Speaker 1: given that option at the time, but from what I've 1394 01:07:07,960 --> 01:07:11,000 Speaker 1: read for people with mania, that usually doesn't work out 1395 01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:13,320 Speaker 1: well either. So what the hell do you do? It 1396 01:07:13,400 --> 01:07:16,400 Speaker 1: is so difficult. If anyone wants to understand more, there's 1397 01:07:16,400 --> 01:07:19,280 Speaker 1: a document called Summary in the Cage, which is now 1398 01:07:19,320 --> 01:07:22,919 Speaker 1: available in full on YouTube, and it's highly recommended. All 1399 01:07:22,960 --> 01:07:24,920 Speaker 1: of the best to you and your fans in any case, 1400 01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:26,320 Speaker 1: Thanks Daria, thank you. 1401 01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:27,520 Speaker 2: Yeah. 1402 01:07:27,520 --> 01:07:29,360 Speaker 1: I think it's just I don't know. I don't have 1403 01:07:29,440 --> 01:07:32,600 Speaker 1: the right answers. I know enough to know I don't know, 1404 01:07:32,640 --> 01:07:34,200 Speaker 1: and that's why I don't have a whole lot of 1405 01:07:34,200 --> 01:07:36,720 Speaker 1: hot takes to give about Kanye West. I don't know 1406 01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:41,800 Speaker 1: how to deal with any of that shit period, really 1407 01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:44,360 Speaker 1: dark Knight, says dear Rod of Karen. Like everyone else 1408 01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:45,960 Speaker 1: on Twitter, I was here for the jokes because I 1409 01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:48,360 Speaker 1: haven't seen the video, just those comments. Rod said he 1410 01:07:48,440 --> 01:07:50,120 Speaker 1: wasn't sure how to feel like to see in the video, 1411 01:07:50,440 --> 01:07:52,720 Speaker 1: but I tell you how I feel. I actually wanted 1412 01:07:52,720 --> 01:07:55,080 Speaker 1: to cry. I know nothing about this man other than 1413 01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,920 Speaker 1: his music and Shenanigan's but maybe because I'm older, I 1414 01:07:57,960 --> 01:08:01,160 Speaker 1: wanted to cry. It felt like we witnessed to someone 1415 01:08:01,360 --> 01:08:03,360 Speaker 1: on a high wire act and had to play the 1416 01:08:03,440 --> 01:08:05,560 Speaker 1: role and couldn't find a way out of it. And 1417 01:08:05,720 --> 01:08:07,600 Speaker 1: I think he's been this way for a long time. 1418 01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:10,760 Speaker 1: I'm not a psychologist, and I won't psychoanalyze him here, 1419 01:08:10,800 --> 01:08:13,479 Speaker 1: but I don't think he's okay. I think it's easy 1420 01:08:13,520 --> 01:08:15,640 Speaker 1: to blank him or Chris Jenner, but I don't think 1421 01:08:15,800 --> 01:08:18,000 Speaker 1: they have much control over what he says and does. 1422 01:08:18,120 --> 01:08:20,120 Speaker 1: Notice Kim is never with him when he's going off 1423 01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:22,320 Speaker 1: on camera. I don't watch the show, but I bet 1424 01:08:22,360 --> 01:08:24,640 Speaker 1: it doesn't have a big role on keeping up with 1425 01:08:24,680 --> 01:08:27,439 Speaker 1: the Kardashians. Really, the only time we've seen him in 1426 01:08:27,479 --> 01:08:29,400 Speaker 1: the last year or two is those strange pictures with 1427 01:08:29,439 --> 01:08:32,880 Speaker 1: the family and pictures rolled out and supported Donald Trump. 1428 01:08:32,880 --> 01:08:35,360 Speaker 1: With the day's look, I feel like he's rushing to 1429 01:08:35,360 --> 01:08:37,080 Speaker 1: get in front of a mic to give his thoughts, 1430 01:08:37,080 --> 01:08:39,040 Speaker 1: and outlets are rushing to give him one because they 1431 01:08:39,080 --> 01:08:41,320 Speaker 1: know it's going to be a car wreck. That's the 1432 01:08:41,400 --> 01:08:44,839 Speaker 1: part that scares me all of it, more than everything. 1433 01:08:44,920 --> 01:08:47,320 Speaker 1: It's like the rappers around him who are on Twitter 1434 01:08:47,439 --> 01:08:50,040 Speaker 1: like co signing him, knowing they don't believe those things, 1435 01:08:50,320 --> 01:08:52,559 Speaker 1: and they're clearly only saying it because they want to 1436 01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,799 Speaker 1: be in the good graces of Kanye West. Those people 1437 01:08:55,840 --> 01:08:59,880 Speaker 1: discuss me, that's so fucked up. You know this person 1438 01:09:00,040 --> 01:09:02,800 Speaker 1: an't healthy and he's still going around being like, nah, 1439 01:09:02,880 --> 01:09:05,240 Speaker 1: I need to beat Maybe he'll be on one of 1440 01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:09,559 Speaker 1: my tracks, Like that's anyway. You're just out of yourself 1441 01:09:09,560 --> 01:09:11,200 Speaker 1: as a leak as far as I'm concerned, because you 1442 01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:13,760 Speaker 1: know something's up and everybody sees it. And then the 1443 01:09:13,840 --> 01:09:17,280 Speaker 1: other people are these media people like TMZ and Charloa Maine. 1444 01:09:17,439 --> 01:09:19,080 Speaker 1: They can't wait to put on Michael for his face. 1445 01:09:19,080 --> 01:09:22,320 Speaker 1: I understand it's their job and they would never say no, 1446 01:09:22,400 --> 01:09:25,719 Speaker 1: but part it's so exploitative that I'm just like, obviously 1447 01:09:26,160 --> 01:09:28,840 Speaker 1: he can't get help from people that don't give a 1448 01:09:28,880 --> 01:09:31,960 Speaker 1: fuck about him, you know, so, but they will use 1449 01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:33,840 Speaker 1: him for the clicks, and I mean, I guess that's 1450 01:09:33,840 --> 01:09:37,479 Speaker 1: the game. I've never been in that position, so maybe 1451 01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:41,880 Speaker 1: I can't say. You know, maybe if if Keith Kanye 1452 01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:43,519 Speaker 1: West had called me and said I want to give 1453 01:09:43,600 --> 01:09:46,320 Speaker 1: my interview to the Blackout Tips, I probably be a 1454 01:09:46,320 --> 01:09:49,040 Speaker 1: fool to say, nah, man, I don't think. I don't 1455 01:09:49,080 --> 01:09:51,080 Speaker 1: think you need to do that, you know what I mean? 1456 01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:53,080 Speaker 1: I probably be like that would probably be the dumbest 1457 01:09:53,080 --> 01:09:55,160 Speaker 1: career move I can make. So I you know, what 1458 01:09:55,200 --> 01:09:57,840 Speaker 1: can I say? If he called TMZ and I want 1459 01:09:57,840 --> 01:10:00,960 Speaker 1: to come talk, then I guess you almost have to 1460 01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:04,080 Speaker 1: do it for you know, it's almost stupid not to. 1461 01:10:04,240 --> 01:10:06,960 Speaker 1: But you could just see they don't really care. That's 1462 01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:09,639 Speaker 1: all I just was. I don't know. I just hope 1463 01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:11,439 Speaker 1: he can get the round people that care about him 1464 01:10:11,479 --> 01:10:17,200 Speaker 1: that maybe can can talk him through some of these things. Anyway, 1465 01:10:17,320 --> 01:10:21,559 Speaker 1: Like Turk said above, I just want clown this cat 1466 01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:23,800 Speaker 1: because I feel like there's something really wrong and this 1467 01:10:23,840 --> 01:10:26,160 Speaker 1: shit stopped being funny, to me a while ago. Last start, 1468 01:10:26,240 --> 01:10:28,280 Speaker 1: just to cut someone is genius and putting be some 1469 01:10:28,360 --> 01:10:30,639 Speaker 1: words together, it's not mean they are genians said all things. 1470 01:10:31,640 --> 01:10:34,680 Speaker 1: I feel like we've all said this about musicians we 1471 01:10:34,880 --> 01:10:37,200 Speaker 1: like from Afar, but Yay really believes it. Sorry for 1472 01:10:37,240 --> 01:10:40,719 Speaker 1: the long post, y'all. Lastly, even he says, I don't 1473 01:10:40,720 --> 01:10:43,880 Speaker 1: know if Kanye is all right or not, but what 1474 01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:48,120 Speaker 1: he's been saying is dangerous because it's them. It's been 1475 01:10:48,200 --> 01:10:57,559 Speaker 1: using arguments by white supremacists against black people. I agree, 1476 01:10:57,760 --> 01:11:00,439 Speaker 1: but I would just like to point out that they 1477 01:11:00,479 --> 01:11:02,479 Speaker 1: would use this whether Kanye was said it or not 1478 01:11:02,840 --> 01:11:06,320 Speaker 1: correct so it doesn't add more validity to that. None 1479 01:11:06,360 --> 01:11:09,320 Speaker 1: of us sit around now and go, well, Kanye said it, 1480 01:11:09,320 --> 01:11:12,080 Speaker 1: so now the white supremacists are right, you know what 1481 01:11:12,080 --> 01:11:18,240 Speaker 1: I mean? So in that way, like I'm not saying that, 1482 01:11:18,479 --> 01:11:20,560 Speaker 1: like I don't want to give him too much influence 1483 01:11:20,840 --> 01:11:23,920 Speaker 1: and then say like that's why he needs to be 1484 01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:26,040 Speaker 1: Because I don't have any problem with people taking the 1485 01:11:26,080 --> 01:11:28,160 Speaker 1: task the fact the things he said and correcting him 1486 01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:29,800 Speaker 1: and putting out I don't have a problem with that. 1487 01:11:30,240 --> 01:11:32,280 Speaker 1: Some of the personal attacks of shit I don't know 1488 01:11:32,320 --> 01:11:33,920 Speaker 1: about because I like I said, I don't know the 1489 01:11:33,920 --> 01:11:36,760 Speaker 1: state of his mental health. But then the other part 1490 01:11:36,800 --> 01:11:40,639 Speaker 1: of it that I would add though, if there are 1491 01:11:40,680 --> 01:11:43,400 Speaker 1: like white kids that go to his concerts that are 1492 01:11:43,439 --> 01:11:46,439 Speaker 1: hearing this shit and then and they didn't have an 1493 01:11:46,479 --> 01:11:50,360 Speaker 1: opinion before, but now they're like what Kanye said, then absolutely, 1494 01:11:50,360 --> 01:11:52,639 Speaker 1: you're right. That's very dangerous, you know what I mean. 1495 01:11:52,800 --> 01:11:55,000 Speaker 1: So in that way, I can see how it could 1496 01:11:55,040 --> 01:11:55,559 Speaker 1: be dangerous. 1497 01:11:55,600 --> 01:11:55,720 Speaker 3: You know. 1498 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:57,479 Speaker 1: I had to really think about that for a second, 1499 01:11:57,560 --> 01:12:00,960 Speaker 1: cause I don't think it's dangerous to know, to like 1500 01:12:01,080 --> 01:12:04,400 Speaker 1: for black people, none of well, hm, that's not even 1501 01:12:04,400 --> 01:12:05,840 Speaker 1: good to say because I don't I just don't hang 1502 01:12:05,840 --> 01:12:08,080 Speaker 1: out with them kind of niggas. So maybe there are 1503 01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:10,519 Speaker 1: some black people that also were influenced the way these 1504 01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:13,400 Speaker 1: white people were influenced, But I don't know them niggas, 1505 01:12:13,400 --> 01:12:15,280 Speaker 1: so I can't speak about it. I can't speak for them. 1506 01:12:15,960 --> 01:12:17,920 Speaker 1: I would get that motherfucker out of my face, so 1507 01:12:18,120 --> 01:12:21,439 Speaker 1: bast you know, I understand, Oh my god, my nigga 1508 01:12:21,520 --> 01:12:25,640 Speaker 1: was in my face. Kanye got a point. It was 1509 01:12:25,680 --> 01:12:28,280 Speaker 1: so bad y'all went to the basketball court and was 1510 01:12:28,320 --> 01:12:30,160 Speaker 1: asking all the niggas on the sideline like, hey man, 1511 01:12:30,240 --> 01:12:33,280 Speaker 1: so you think slavery was a choice. Everybody. 1512 01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:33,640 Speaker 2: Hell no. 1513 01:12:33,800 --> 01:12:35,880 Speaker 1: I was like, okay, cool, cool, all right, you got 1514 01:12:35,920 --> 01:12:39,080 Speaker 1: that check nowadays, my man, Joe, he took a little 1515 01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:40,880 Speaker 1: too long to answer. I said, now, Joe, you won't 1516 01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:44,680 Speaker 1: think about this. He starts stumbling. He was like, well, 1517 01:12:44,720 --> 01:12:46,720 Speaker 1: you know, I mean in a choice in that, like 1518 01:12:47,560 --> 01:12:53,520 Speaker 1: we choose to be in slave to things today. I said, no, no, Joe, slavery, 1519 01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:59,599 Speaker 1: four hundred years of slavery in America wasn't a choice. 1520 01:13:00,520 --> 01:13:02,960 Speaker 1: And then somebody, I felt like somebody bailed him out 1521 01:13:02,960 --> 01:13:04,479 Speaker 1: because they was like, man, hell no. And then he 1522 01:13:04,520 --> 01:13:06,920 Speaker 1: was like, yeah, hell no, that's crazy. I was like, okay, Joe, 1523 01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:11,760 Speaker 1: watching you took a little too long to answer that, 1524 01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:15,240 Speaker 1: but I got you, bro, if Kanye was as smart 1525 01:13:15,240 --> 01:13:18,960 Speaker 1: as he says he is, he'd see that. So either 1526 01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:21,680 Speaker 1: he is being willfully or ignorant, or he doesn't give 1527 01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:24,559 Speaker 1: a ship. Yep, that's that's kind of how I feel. 1528 01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:27,599 Speaker 1: Kanye only seems to care about Kanye, so he'll only 1529 01:13:27,640 --> 01:13:30,120 Speaker 1: stop the bullshit if it affects his album of clothing 1530 01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:34,040 Speaker 1: line Selves. Maybe I don't have no idea what will 1531 01:13:34,080 --> 01:13:39,760 Speaker 1: make him stop, to be honest, but yeah, he I 1532 01:13:39,760 --> 01:13:44,840 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know at any rate. He did 1533 01:13:44,840 --> 01:13:47,400 Speaker 1: say that the niggas say he don't read, so, I mean, 1534 01:13:49,960 --> 01:13:51,479 Speaker 1: a huge part of me is just like, I can't 1535 01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:55,519 Speaker 1: believe we're taking this this seriously. But I understand it's 1536 01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:57,920 Speaker 1: very triggering to talk about slavery and shit, and nobody 1537 01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,599 Speaker 1: wants to hear that the Eastern Race book excerpt make 1538 01:14:00,640 --> 01:14:02,960 Speaker 1: you mad one hundred percent. We never get these one 1539 01:14:03,040 --> 01:14:05,960 Speaker 1: hundred percent people say no, And maybe it's because they 1540 01:14:06,040 --> 01:14:07,960 Speaker 1: listen to the show, or maybe it's because the way 1541 01:14:07,960 --> 01:14:10,840 Speaker 1: we talked about it, but literally, no one should be 1542 01:14:10,920 --> 01:14:13,880 Speaker 1: mad at that quote. Brooklyn Shoe Base said, seriously, how 1543 01:14:13,880 --> 01:14:15,960 Speaker 1: many black women comedians have made a similar joke about 1544 01:14:15,960 --> 01:14:18,439 Speaker 1: marrying a white man or Asian man to get their credit? Right? 1545 01:14:18,720 --> 01:14:21,320 Speaker 1: I think it's in the Black Women Comedians Handbook role Lies. 1546 01:14:21,439 --> 01:14:26,400 Speaker 1: People be tripping yup. Melanie says she actually speaking the truth. 1547 01:14:26,400 --> 01:14:28,960 Speaker 1: We as black women at the least desirable these days especially, 1548 01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:30,960 Speaker 1: and it's almost as if black men are thinking, if 1549 01:14:30,960 --> 01:14:32,800 Speaker 1: they have a baby with a black woman, that child 1550 01:14:32,840 --> 01:14:35,880 Speaker 1: will be too too black. Maybe a broad nose and 1551 01:14:35,960 --> 01:14:38,719 Speaker 1: full lips, kinky hair. Heaven forbid. I'm seeing a massive 1552 01:14:38,720 --> 01:14:40,599 Speaker 1: amount of Black men having children by women and other 1553 01:14:40,720 --> 01:14:43,760 Speaker 1: races who have straight hair and small facial speetures. The 1554 01:14:43,800 --> 01:14:47,080 Speaker 1: coloration issue is real, and Black women are taking a 1555 01:14:47,080 --> 01:14:49,320 Speaker 1: loss again, So why not link up with another race 1556 01:14:49,360 --> 01:14:52,760 Speaker 1: as long as they're loving and want a work in relationship. Yeah, 1557 01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:56,679 Speaker 1: I always it's always weird because like, because our patriarch 1558 01:14:56,960 --> 01:15:05,040 Speaker 1: society says women are the ones to be gathered, consumed, found, hunted, 1559 01:15:05,120 --> 01:15:09,000 Speaker 1: blah blah blah, and because of that, there's all these 1560 01:15:09,040 --> 01:15:13,519 Speaker 1: situations where like it's revolutionary for women to be able 1561 01:15:13,560 --> 01:15:17,920 Speaker 1: to say I would look for a relationship outside of 1562 01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,880 Speaker 1: my race, but it's not so for men because men 1563 01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:24,320 Speaker 1: are the consumers, the hunters blah blah blah. That stupid shit, 1564 01:15:24,880 --> 01:15:27,400 Speaker 1: because that's how it seems. It's not seen that way 1565 01:15:27,439 --> 01:15:29,760 Speaker 1: for men, Like, oh, yeah, man can date whoever he 1566 01:15:29,800 --> 01:15:32,080 Speaker 1: wants because he's choosing them.

The worst 1929 01:34:45,560 --> 01:34:49,240 Speaker 1: part about Kanye's ranch to me, though, is that is 1930 01:34:49,320 --> 01:34:51,800 Speaker 1: those of our fellow black people exposing themselves as having 1931 01:34:51,800 --> 01:34:54,679 Speaker 1: limited intelligence. It thirst to be contrarian thinking. It makes 1932 01:34:54,720 --> 01:34:58,040 Speaker 1: them smart. When Kanye tells us we need to love 1933 01:34:58,280 --> 01:35:00,120 Speaker 1: when it comes to the other side, it makes me. 1934 01:35:00,520 --> 01:35:02,519 Speaker 1: It takes me back to where Roder said on previous 1935 01:35:02,520 --> 01:35:04,800 Speaker 1: pots about how the folks who vote Trump and Republicans 1936 01:35:04,800 --> 01:35:07,920 Speaker 1: in general are not voting against their interests, as optimistic folks, 1937 01:35:08,000 --> 01:35:10,440 Speaker 1: especially liberal whites, like to say. But that white supremacy 1938 01:35:10,479 --> 01:35:14,160 Speaker 1: and the feeling of superiority there is their interest. Why 1939 01:35:14,200 --> 01:35:16,519 Speaker 1: do I bring that up? Because how am I supposed 1940 01:35:16,520 --> 01:35:19,560 Speaker 1: to love somebody who's ultimate goals to maintain superiority over me, 1941 01:35:20,160 --> 01:35:25,519 Speaker 1: even more so than helping their own bank accounts, healthcare, kids, futures, etc. Etc. 1942 01:35:26,000 --> 01:35:28,080 Speaker 1: I'm so tired of folks from all over the political 1943 01:35:28,120 --> 01:35:30,400 Speaker 1: spectrum pretending that we had the same end game as 1944 01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:32,800 Speaker 1: those willing to support President Trump and the goals of 1945 01:35:32,840 --> 01:35:36,160 Speaker 1: his administration, as well as those associated. Having different views 1946 01:35:36,240 --> 01:35:39,000 Speaker 1: on solutions is one thing, but if we have conflicting goals, 1947 01:35:39,040 --> 01:35:42,000 Speaker 1: then do we really have anything to talk about? Is 1948 01:35:42,040 --> 01:35:45,240 Speaker 1: our course not to find a way to make it 1949 01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:50,160 Speaker 1: happen without those people? Maybe I'm wrong. Anyways, though, another 1950 01:35:50,160 --> 01:35:53,360 Speaker 1: great week from you guys as usual and looking forward 1951 01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:55,760 Speaker 1: to your continued black excellence. Thank you, Roder Care Love 1952 01:35:55,840 --> 01:35:58,680 Speaker 1: Brandon Slash, Bill Monty, thank you man, thank you, and 1953 01:35:58,800 --> 01:36:01,920 Speaker 1: uh yeah, dog, I am not with the ship when 1954 01:36:01,920 --> 01:36:03,360 Speaker 1: it comes to that. Love your way out of this 1955 01:36:03,439 --> 01:36:05,320 Speaker 1: because like, ain't no a maunt of love that's gonna 1956 01:36:05,360 --> 01:36:10,120 Speaker 1: turn people not racist. And now here's the thing though, 1957 01:36:10,479 --> 01:36:14,519 Speaker 1: in general, I do understand Kanye's point about the love shit. 1958 01:36:15,560 --> 01:36:17,720 Speaker 1: I do think these things stem from a lack of 1959 01:36:17,760 --> 01:36:23,120 Speaker 1: love and loving yourself, knowing yourself, and accepting yourself that 1960 01:36:23,360 --> 01:36:27,200 Speaker 1: that racist is. I think it was Fuck, Why am 1961 01:36:27,200 --> 01:36:28,840 Speaker 1: I gonna fuck up his name? What's my man? Who 1962 01:36:28,880 --> 01:36:31,200 Speaker 1: made I'm not your nigger? What the fuck? Or I'm 1963 01:36:31,240 --> 01:36:35,639 Speaker 1: not your nigga? Really? James Baldwin, Yeah, it's like James 1964 01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:38,360 Speaker 1: Bondwin said, man like racism is a problem with white 1965 01:36:38,400 --> 01:36:40,480 Speaker 1: people not being able to love themselves. 1966 01:36:40,520 --> 01:36:41,240 Speaker 2: It's not us. 1967 01:36:41,960 --> 01:36:43,519 Speaker 1: And that's why I say it's no amount of love 1968 01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:46,960 Speaker 1: a black person can give them that will change their hearts. 1969 01:36:47,240 --> 01:36:51,040 Speaker 1: It's really about them truly not wanting to love themselves 1970 01:36:51,040 --> 01:36:57,120 Speaker 1: because they know how fucking fucked up their station in 1971 01:36:57,200 --> 01:36:59,800 Speaker 1: society is and what it took to get there. And 1972 01:36:59,840 --> 01:37:02,559 Speaker 1: then they'll never fully accept that, They'll never fully accept 1973 01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:05,719 Speaker 1: the weight of responsibility of that. They'll never fully accept 1974 01:37:05,760 --> 01:37:09,200 Speaker 1: that their ancestors were not the good people that they 1975 01:37:09,400 --> 01:37:12,120 Speaker 1: keep wanting to think they are. They'll never accept that 1976 01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:15,880 Speaker 1: there were no such things as good slave masters in 1977 01:37:16,080 --> 01:37:18,639 Speaker 1: mass There are some white people, of course, but I'm 1978 01:37:18,680 --> 01:37:23,280 Speaker 1: talking in general. So yeah, you can't like when you're 1979 01:37:23,320 --> 01:37:25,519 Speaker 1: dealing with that kind of shit, like you're not gonna 1980 01:37:25,520 --> 01:37:29,120 Speaker 1: be able to be like, you can't love your way 1981 01:37:29,160 --> 01:37:31,960 Speaker 1: out of it. But do I agree that if people 1982 01:37:32,240 --> 01:37:35,960 Speaker 1: truly had love for themselves and they fellow men, that 1983 01:37:36,080 --> 01:37:38,120 Speaker 1: it would be better for everybody and that a lot 1984 01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:39,280 Speaker 1: of this shit will go away. 1985 01:37:39,479 --> 01:37:39,679 Speaker 2: Yeah? 1986 01:37:39,720 --> 01:37:42,120 Speaker 1: I do. Actually, you know, I don't find that to 1987 01:37:42,200 --> 01:37:45,160 Speaker 1: be so outrageous. What I find outrageous is just to 1988 01:37:45,160 --> 01:37:49,280 Speaker 1: see this idea of like people are racist, and people 1989 01:37:49,280 --> 01:37:52,360 Speaker 1: are Trump supporters, and people are Nazis, and people are 1990 01:37:52,439 --> 01:37:56,040 Speaker 1: this and that because they we're the victims the targets 1991 01:37:56,040 --> 01:37:58,720 Speaker 1: of there are are not loving them enough. That's that's 1992 01:37:58,760 --> 01:38:01,599 Speaker 1: just a ridiculous notion. But like I said, I don't 1993 01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:05,120 Speaker 1: know how much of Kanye is fully on board right now, 1994 01:38:05,160 --> 01:38:09,000 Speaker 1: so I'll leave it at that, all right, guys, Uh 1995 01:38:09,280 --> 01:38:16,800 Speaker 1: that's about it?
