1 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:15,760 Speaker 1: Motherfucking mini year soul, motherfuckingnear so Yep, yep, yep, there 2 00:00:15,880 --> 00:00:19,239 Speaker 1: it is. There it is. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to 3 00:00:19,280 --> 00:00:24,320 Speaker 1: another phenomenal episode. And my mama told me the podcast 4 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:27,720 Speaker 1: broke me dive deep, deep into the pockets of black 5 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:31,640 Speaker 1: conspiracy theories, and we finally worked to prove the theories 6 00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: that you the listeners have at home. This is it, 7 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:41,559 Speaker 1: This is Us Thursdays on ABC. I don't know if 8 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:44,080 Speaker 1: that's the day that they come on. Frankly, I've never 9 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,480 Speaker 1: watched the show. I looked at the premise of three 10 00:00:48,159 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 1: very unlike people, one of which were Sterling Brown, a 11 00:00:51,479 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 1: black man, having to call these people family, and I said, nope, 12 00:00:55,120 --> 00:00:57,640 Speaker 1: no thanks, this isn't gonna turn out the way I 13 00:00:57,720 --> 00:01:00,240 Speaker 1: wanted to. What I would have loved is Sterling came 14 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:03,720 Speaker 1: Brown commits a massacre against the white devil that traps 15 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,760 Speaker 1: him in his home, and then they tell that story. 16 00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:10,199 Speaker 1: But no, ABC wanted to tell a family drama about 17 00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:13,760 Speaker 1: a man who was burned in a fire spoiler alert. 18 00:01:14,160 --> 00:01:18,399 Speaker 1: And also, somehow, despite having a healthy upbringing, Sterley Came 19 00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:21,360 Speaker 1: Brown still has a crackhead daddy. I don't know. Seems 20 00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,080 Speaker 1: problematic to me. But that's neither here nor there. I 21 00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 1: haven't even introduced myself. I'm your host, Lengths and Kerman 22 00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: as always, I'm coming in hot. I'm talking about crackheads 23 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:34,280 Speaker 1: and house fires. This is the way the podcast was 24 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:38,560 Speaker 1: always meant to be. And I am excited because today 25 00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:42,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna be digging into a conspiracy that was sent 26 00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 1: to me by a person named Bree. Breeze sent me 27 00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: a conspiracy that that I loved right from the beginning. 28 00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 1: She sent me an email. In the subject line she said, 29 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 1: rubbing niggas heads for luck to question marks, rubbing niggas 30 00:01:57,640 --> 00:02:00,680 Speaker 1: hads for luck. I had to do it again just 31 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,440 Speaker 1: to make sure I could. I could include that second 32 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,160 Speaker 1: question mark in the way that I pronounced it, rubbin 33 00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: nikkas heads for luck. Breeth was confused right from the subject, 34 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 1: but she says high legs and love the show. You're 35 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 1: funniest fuck. Well, thank you, Bree, et cetera. I was 36 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,520 Speaker 1: gonna send a voice note, but I'm high right now 37 00:02:18,800 --> 00:02:21,360 Speaker 1: and it would take me entirely too long to figure 38 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:24,799 Speaker 1: out how to send this email from my phone. Well, Bree, 39 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 1: you shouldn't be that high. It's uh it's pretty basic. 40 00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,200 Speaker 1: You just open the app and you talk into your phone. 41 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: But if you're struggling, I respect your choice. Something my 42 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:36,240 Speaker 1: mama r I p Queen Pam would tell me and 43 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,880 Speaker 1: my brother when we were younger, while effectively giving us noogies, 44 00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: was rubbing nigga's head get good luck. I also remember 45 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: my light skin, asked grandfather, saying that too. Obviously it's racist, 46 00:02:49,639 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 1: but where the funk did this come from? Is that 47 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,440 Speaker 1: why white people want to touch my hair all the time. 48 00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 1: Open your third eye and enlighten us. Please, thanks, and 49 00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,560 Speaker 1: don't forget to tip your infoil hat at a forty 50 00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,520 Speaker 1: five degree angle. Bree, thank you so much for this 51 00:03:05,600 --> 00:03:08,960 Speaker 1: lovely note. Brie, and uh and I appreciate the drugs 52 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:13,760 Speaker 1: you were doing prompting this very strange conspiracy theory that 53 00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,800 Speaker 1: I don't think I had ever heard necessarily, I don't 54 00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,600 Speaker 1: think specifically rubbing the nigga's head for good luck. It's 55 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:23,320 Speaker 1: the thing that I I've heard over and over again. 56 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:25,959 Speaker 1: I've heard rubb a bald head man said, you know 57 00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 1: what I mean, if they bald, you could slap that skin, 58 00:03:28,480 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 1: and that's fun. That's what we used to do. My 59 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:33,240 Speaker 1: friend Carl. He taught me about this thing that they 60 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,080 Speaker 1: did when they were growing up called cheese neck where 61 00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 1: and it's it's not it's not a complicated game. But 62 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 1: if that neck was exposed, you slap it and you 63 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 1: say cheese neck. And that was the game. And that 64 00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: was pretty fun in college. But yeah, you rub a 65 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 1: bald head and maybe you kiss it a little bit. 66 00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:52,080 Speaker 1: That's that's a good old time. You o't go kiss 67 00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,120 Speaker 1: that bald head. But rubbing for good luck I had 68 00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: not heard, and so I decided to do as requested 69 00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:01,520 Speaker 1: by Bree, a little little bit of research, and as 70 00:04:01,560 --> 00:04:05,520 Speaker 1: it turns out, breathe, this isn't some completely made up 71 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,880 Speaker 1: theory from your your mom and your grandfather. In fact, 72 00:04:09,320 --> 00:04:13,320 Speaker 1: rubbing a black person's head for good luck actually traces 73 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,560 Speaker 1: all the way back to slavery. It's weird. It's like 74 00:04:16,640 --> 00:04:20,280 Speaker 1: a lot of our history is traced back to slavery. Hmmm. 75 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:24,440 Speaker 1: I wonder what that was. I wonder what happened to 76 00:04:24,680 --> 00:04:26,440 Speaker 1: us that made us have to come up with a 77 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:33,160 Speaker 1: bunch of traditions and weird, uh weird ways of creating 78 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 1: culture as a means of survival during that period. It's 79 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,680 Speaker 1: almost as if somebody was being real fucked up to 80 00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,559 Speaker 1: us anyway, I digress. White slave masters used to rub 81 00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,960 Speaker 1: their slaves heads, not just as a method of asserting dominance. Obviously, 82 00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:53,440 Speaker 1: they viewed their slaves as as cattle is, as fucking 83 00:04:53,920 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: just animals, and so they would do it as a 84 00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: way of saying, I'm the master, you are are owned. 85 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,760 Speaker 1: But also they would do it as a way, I guess, 86 00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 1: of making themselves extra lucky at beating and raping later 87 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:09,720 Speaker 1: that day. You know what I mean, I don't know 88 00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:14,080 Speaker 1: what kind of special luck of slave master needs, Like, oh, 89 00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 1: I hope I could cut his foot off in one 90 00:05:16,120 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: chap this time, you know what I mean? Like, I 91 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 1: don't know why you need luck. You beat the game. 92 00:05:21,440 --> 00:05:25,679 Speaker 1: You fucking own people in land in a place where 93 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,160 Speaker 1: both of those things are are pretty much the only 94 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:31,320 Speaker 1: things to own. So like, what luck did you need 95 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 1: that day? Jebbediah. But either way, the fact that they 96 00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: used to rub these black heads apparently is a very 97 00:05:38,920 --> 00:05:42,960 Speaker 1: real thing. Now. Obviously, slaves at the time didn't have 98 00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 1: the option to reject this unwanted touching, and so it's 99 00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,960 Speaker 1: highly likely that these slave masters were in fact able 100 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: to at least continue having a pleasant day. Despite physically 101 00:05:54,520 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: assaulting a person mere moments before that, you could just 102 00:05:58,160 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: rub ahead and go about your business. Nobody could do 103 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,120 Speaker 1: anything about it, you know what I mean. That's just 104 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,920 Speaker 1: the way it was back then. Now, the question that 105 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,320 Speaker 1: popped in my head when this all came in because 106 00:06:09,360 --> 00:06:11,599 Speaker 1: it did remind me of those bald heads that we 107 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,560 Speaker 1: used to rub and kiss back in my youth, and 108 00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:18,680 Speaker 1: it got me asking whether or not bald heads were 109 00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,920 Speaker 1: somehow serviced or if they service better. Look, you know 110 00:06:22,920 --> 00:06:24,960 Speaker 1: what I mean, Like, if you rub a a big 111 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:27,840 Speaker 1: old fluffy head, yeah that's okay. But if you rub 112 00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,000 Speaker 1: a bald head, god damn it, you just hit the 113 00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:32,160 Speaker 1: lot o, you know what I mean. So it's letting 114 00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 1: hit that line of thinking. And maybe I'm high right now, Bree. 115 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,440 Speaker 1: I haven't had any drugs, but a goddamn it, I'm 116 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: high on life and I'm high on skepticism. One of 117 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:46,040 Speaker 1: the things that it got me asking is why so 118 00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:49,320 Speaker 1: many African people, certainly in their depictions in the media. 119 00:06:49,360 --> 00:06:51,279 Speaker 1: And I haven't spent a lot of time in Africa. 120 00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:54,159 Speaker 1: I went to South Africa one time, and uh, it 121 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,880 Speaker 1: was pretty cool and super problematic. What you see is 122 00:06:57,920 --> 00:07:00,200 Speaker 1: the remnants of apartheid in a way that they do 123 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 1: not tell you about. They say that apartheid happened, and 124 00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,640 Speaker 1: everybody's free now and and now they're equals, and white 125 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:10,320 Speaker 1: people apologize, But what they don't mention is that in 126 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,240 Speaker 1: Cape Town specifically, about eighty to ninety percent of the 127 00:07:14,360 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: land is still predominantly owned by white people, and all 128 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,040 Speaker 1: the black people are sort of pushing into these small 129 00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 1: pockets and it's all very unfair. And the land specifically 130 00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:27,960 Speaker 1: is uh. They have these beautiful wine country areas and 131 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: you asked the driver as and he takes you out there, 132 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,679 Speaker 1: how many of these vineyards are owned by black people? 133 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,200 Speaker 1: And he's like, huh what Uh, I don't know what 134 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 1: you're talking about. And it's just very clear that the 135 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 1: redistribution of wealth never really happened in this country, despite 136 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: them making these very public apologies. But again, that's not 137 00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:50,120 Speaker 1: what we're focused on here. My question was why do 138 00:07:50,320 --> 00:07:54,800 Speaker 1: so many people in some African countries have bald heads? 139 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:57,520 Speaker 1: And so the question, or at least some of the 140 00:07:57,560 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: information that I found is number one, many places on 141 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:03,440 Speaker 1: the continent, as it turns out, are very very hot. 142 00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 1: So it's just easier for comfort and cleanliness, and also 143 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,280 Speaker 1: resources to shave your head or at least cut it 144 00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:13,640 Speaker 1: down very low, and that would explain why these lucky 145 00:08:13,680 --> 00:08:16,400 Speaker 1: ass bald heads are walking around all the time. The 146 00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:19,760 Speaker 1: other thing that I found in asking that question is that, apparently, 147 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,480 Speaker 1: and this is something that that got written up for me, 148 00:08:22,560 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 1: I didn't write this part of it, but I'll make 149 00:08:24,960 --> 00:08:27,760 Speaker 1: sense of the whole thing. The hair, apparently is the 150 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:31,120 Speaker 1: most elevated part of the body and was therefore, back 151 00:08:31,120 --> 00:08:35,000 Speaker 1: in the day, considered a portal for spirits to pass 152 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:38,280 Speaker 1: through the soul. Pass through to the soul. Excuse me, 153 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:41,720 Speaker 1: so like spirits could like, uh, you know how like 154 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,680 Speaker 1: in break dancing, when you pass that electricity from one 155 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: arm to the other, and you gotta pass it because 156 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,480 Speaker 1: if you let that build up inside of you, that's 157 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:54,040 Speaker 1: how you get diabetes. But you gotta pass that electricity 158 00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:57,040 Speaker 1: from one arm to the other. And so apparently that's 159 00:08:57,080 --> 00:09:00,440 Speaker 1: how like a spirituality sort of works, is that it's 160 00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:03,840 Speaker 1: passing through your hair into your soul. And because of 161 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,760 Speaker 1: the cultural and spiritual importance of hair for Africans, the 162 00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:13,120 Speaker 1: practice of having their heads involuntarily shaved before being sold 163 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 1: as slaves was in itself a dehumanizing act. So these 164 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:21,160 Speaker 1: slave masters weren't just shaving their heads because they thought 165 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,200 Speaker 1: it looked cool. They wanted to get, you know, feel lucky. 166 00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:28,280 Speaker 1: It was truly an act of dehumanizing them. It was 167 00:09:28,520 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: an effort to make them feel less than and lose 168 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 1: even more of the control in their life. The little 169 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,800 Speaker 1: bit of thing that made them feel like they had 170 00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:40,280 Speaker 1: a connection to their spirituality, or their beauty or their comfort, 171 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,080 Speaker 1: they snatched that away too. They seem like otherwise pretty 172 00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:48,120 Speaker 1: good guys. I think historically we should just keep celebrating 173 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:51,480 Speaker 1: Thomas Jefferson and George Washington and all those other fellas. 174 00:09:51,720 --> 00:09:55,760 Speaker 1: They seem like perfectly reasonable people, except for the fact 175 00:09:55,960 --> 00:09:59,760 Speaker 1: that they literally stole everything from generation after generation of 176 00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,120 Speaker 1: p pol. That's said, it is very similar. This act 177 00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:07,440 Speaker 1: of of dehumanizing is very similar in my mind to 178 00:10:07,520 --> 00:10:12,760 Speaker 1: how white people will sometimes introduce themselves to dogs before 179 00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: they even greet the people who are walking those dogs. 180 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,560 Speaker 1: You have you ever experienced this, you the listener at home. 181 00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: I don't know why I'm framing this as a question. 182 00:10:21,800 --> 00:10:24,160 Speaker 1: Have you ever had that thing where like you're walking 183 00:10:24,160 --> 00:10:26,240 Speaker 1: a dog and then somebody walks up and they're like, 184 00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 1: oh my god, you're beautiful. You aren't you a cutie part? 185 00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: It's like, bitch, I speak English. He can't. He don't 186 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: even speak English. He doesn't even wipe up his own ship. 187 00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,760 Speaker 1: Say hello to me, and then I may or may 188 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,080 Speaker 1: not tell you why I named my dog something stupid 189 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: like Buckley or send your marshmallow. You don't get to 190 00:10:47,320 --> 00:10:51,000 Speaker 1: just creet my dog without my consent. You greet me, bitch, 191 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:53,480 Speaker 1: you greet you look me in the eyes, and you 192 00:10:53,559 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: say hello, sir. I would like to find out if 193 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,240 Speaker 1: your dog is a girl or a boy, even though 194 00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,600 Speaker 1: that information has no applicable meaning. In my world, it's 195 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:08,439 Speaker 1: probably spade or neutered, So truthfully, it's it's been removed 196 00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:12,120 Speaker 1: of that dignity. Also, should we talk about how owning 197 00:11:12,160 --> 00:11:15,640 Speaker 1: dogs has a a taste of slavery in it? Probably not. 198 00:11:15,880 --> 00:11:19,600 Speaker 1: That's why what this episode is about. Anyway, it does 199 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:24,480 Speaker 1: appear to your question, Bree about about the touching of 200 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,520 Speaker 1: black hair. It does appear in some ways that touching 201 00:11:27,559 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 1: black hair maybe an evolution worn from this weird white 202 00:11:32,240 --> 00:11:37,080 Speaker 1: devil superstition of rubbing heads for good luck. However, I 203 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: actually think the issue of touching black hair is a 204 00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:41,719 Speaker 1: little more basic than that. I don't think it's as 205 00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:45,880 Speaker 1: evolved as as we would like it to be. I think, truthfully, 206 00:11:45,880 --> 00:11:48,040 Speaker 1: if I'm being honest, the act of touching the hair, 207 00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 1: it's more because the hair, just for the whites just 208 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: seems foreign or odd compared to their own, shall we say, 209 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,960 Speaker 1: berrilla spaghetti hair? Do you know what I mean? Just 210 00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:03,839 Speaker 1: a bi Yeah. I used to love those Burrea commercials, 211 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:05,760 Speaker 1: and but some of it maybe it was just me 212 00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:08,320 Speaker 1: loving white hair. I just see I saw it them like, 213 00:12:08,320 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: look at that gorgeous white hair. Looks scrumptious. M m. 214 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 1: The point is our hair seems foreign, and the choice 215 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,079 Speaker 1: to simply reach out and touch it is no different 216 00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: than the instinct, the exact instinct they have with animals 217 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,360 Speaker 1: on the street. And they see black people as so 218 00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,560 Speaker 1: lacking in their own agency and their own sort of 219 00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:36,079 Speaker 1: like self worth, that they presume any kindness, say show, 220 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:41,439 Speaker 1: including a pat on the head, would be welcomed. We'd 221 00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:45,080 Speaker 1: like it. Them reaching their hand out must be sweet 222 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:48,480 Speaker 1: to them because of their history of slavery and abuse. 223 00:12:48,760 --> 00:12:51,040 Speaker 1: They're like, well, I'm not hitting you in the face, 224 00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 1: so you probably are just a fan that I even 225 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 1: noticed your existence black man or woman, and so I'm 226 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: gonna touch your hair and you'll be great full, much 227 00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: in the way that a pug would be if I 228 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,400 Speaker 1: reached out impetted his or her head. It's a gross 229 00:13:06,520 --> 00:13:11,679 Speaker 1: instinct and it it probably does have a historical context 230 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,760 Speaker 1: or of people believing in good luck, but I don't 231 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: think it offers much good luck now, you know what 232 00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,960 Speaker 1: I mean. I've watched enough YouTube videos of black ladies 233 00:13:19,960 --> 00:13:22,800 Speaker 1: flipping out at Walmart because some white lady gets bold 234 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: and touches their hair to know that. Yeah, and ain't 235 00:13:26,040 --> 00:13:28,040 Speaker 1: that ain't the move no more? You know what I mean. 236 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,480 Speaker 1: I don't think it ends uh. I think that's how 237 00:13:30,520 --> 00:13:35,360 Speaker 1: you get fired from your your weird uh financial services job, 238 00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,960 Speaker 1: is you get caught touching a black lady's hair and 239 00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,080 Speaker 1: then she tweets about it afterwards. So, in a long 240 00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,520 Speaker 1: story short, it used to be good luck. I guess 241 00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,200 Speaker 1: if you are a slave owner and you you wanted 242 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:50,520 Speaker 1: to to to effectively shoot a slave in the kneecapsule later, 243 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:54,080 Speaker 1: But nowadays it seems like it's pretty bad luck. Although 244 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,800 Speaker 1: I don't know that white people have fully realized that yet. Anyway, 245 00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:01,200 Speaker 1: if there's any other physical abuse that you wanted to 246 00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:04,280 Speaker 1: pitch to me, the listener at home, that you think 247 00:14:04,360 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: might be good or bad, look I talk about it you. 248 00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:10,199 Speaker 1: All you gotta do is send it to me, send me, 249 00:14:10,440 --> 00:14:13,160 Speaker 1: send me a note, send me a voice memo. Don't 250 00:14:13,160 --> 00:14:16,679 Speaker 1: get high like Breee. She's a drug addict. She's Oh 251 00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,480 Speaker 1: my god, we gotta get her into a clinic and 252 00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,800 Speaker 1: and get some help for her.

You could send 254 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:28,520 Speaker 1: me a message at my mama Pott at gmail dot com. 255 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,320 Speaker 1: And I listened to it, and some of them I 256 00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: respond to. Some of them are fucking nuts, and you 257 00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:36,040 Speaker 1: guys should be ashamed of yourselves. You should shoot yourself 258 00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:38,800 Speaker 1: in the foot. But the others that are more reasonable, 259 00:14:38,880 --> 00:14:41,040 Speaker 1: I listened to them, and I'll respond to him here 260 00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:43,720 Speaker 1: on the podcast.
