Speaker 1: lived for He's called it's awesome. You know. To make

42
00:02:07,520 --> 00:02:10,560
Speaker 1: that statement is not built for Snapchat, is not built

43
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 1: for Twitter, is built to govern what motivates you make

44
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,160
Speaker 1: that statement there, Bari, Well, you know, I was thinking

45
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,679
Speaker 1: about how many times the President elect or President of

46
00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:23,760
Speaker 1: the United States, whichever term of art you want to

47
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: use to describe him, um get some criticism for uh,

48
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,320
Speaker 1: you know, trying to bring people together, and he gets

49
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:35,600
Speaker 1: some criticism for his diligence and um uh and his discipline.

50
00:02:35,840 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 1: But we recognize now that that discipline, that diligence, it

51
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:42,400
Speaker 1: pays off. And so while on Twitter and Snapchat and

52
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,240
Speaker 1: social media, everybody and the mamma want to tell him

53
00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:47,119
Speaker 1: what he should be doing. His strategy has worked thus far,

54
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,800
Speaker 1: and so sometimes you just have to have faith. And

55
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:53,720
Speaker 1: faith is uh. I'll tell you when he when um

56
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:59,680
Speaker 1: Biden one. My faith has been tested based on what

57
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: um President Donald Trump has been doing. When you look

58
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,720
Speaker 1: back on this, and it's not over because the man

59
00:03:06,800 --> 00:03:09,519
Speaker 1: has over eighty million social media follows, over seventy two

60
00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,639
Speaker 1: million people voted for him, So he's not going away.

61
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,160
Speaker 1: If anybody thinks he's just gonna drift away, they're crazy.

62
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: So what do you think about the legacy of Donald

63
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:21,440
Speaker 1: Trump from your perspective, from your viewpoints, not counting this year.

64
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: I think it's still still yet to be written. I

65
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:29,960
Speaker 1: think that history will not look kindly upon him. Um.

66
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: The most amazing part about how history treats you, and

67
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: you don't get a chance to write it yourself. M

68
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's others who will be able to you.

69
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 1: Don't write your own obituary. Um. You know you know

70
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:44,360
Speaker 1: in the script how and not in the scripture, but

71
00:03:44,400 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: in the church they say, made the work I've done

72
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: speak for me, right, Um, So the work he's done

73
00:03:49,480 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: I will speak for him. And I think that the

74
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 1: everlasting stain of bigger treings in a phobian racism is

75
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: going to be hard to escape. Um. But I don't

76
00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: think it's as you said, he ain't going nowhere. Trump is, um,

77
00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: is going to hover over American politics, in particularly the

78
00:04:03,640 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: Republican Party for a long time, and so we'll have

79
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:07,880
Speaker 1: more time to be able to flesh out what that

80
00:04:07,920 --> 00:04:10,400
Speaker 1: really means. And it's really crazy because of the fact

81
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:13,600
Speaker 1: that he um, I don't think he cares about anybody.

82
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:15,839
Speaker 1: That's my just my personal opinion. Not that's not trying

83
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:18,040
Speaker 1: to get you to share that cares about himself. Yes,

84
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,840
Speaker 1: he cares about himself and that's really that's really what

85
00:04:20,920 --> 00:04:23,039
Speaker 1: motivates him to the point of being able to be

86
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:26,400
Speaker 1: as divisive as he is now. Denmark is the location

87
00:04:26,400 --> 00:04:29,120
Speaker 1: of Vorhees, where we hold steing the Voorhies stream of

88
00:04:29,200 --> 00:04:31,200
Speaker 1: on where we're trying to raise a million dollars. The

89
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: event is December first. Tell us your relationship with the

90
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,760
Speaker 1: vorhes College and and in this presence in the Denmark community.

91
00:04:40,040 --> 00:04:42,920
Speaker 1: So you know, I'm I'm from Denmo. I know, I know,

92
00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: I read the book. Remember I read the book about

93
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,479
Speaker 1: your dad three miles away from what he's college. I

94
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: used to break it into uh the gymnasium over there

95
00:04:55,120 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 1: bore East College. I used to go swimming during the

96
00:04:57,279 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: summer and in the in the swimming pool live or

97
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,560
Speaker 1: East College. My dad Ad was president of where East College.

98
00:05:01,560 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 1: I went to church at St. Philip's Episcopal But during

99
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:08,480
Speaker 1: this time of covid um, you know, this is a

100
00:05:08,480 --> 00:05:11,840
Speaker 1: moment that's even more important than previous moments because when

101
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,200
Speaker 1: p w I s and white institutions catch the cold

102
00:05:14,279 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 1: like they have now, black institutions catch the flu. And

103
00:05:18,880 --> 00:05:22,039
Speaker 1: so what we're seeing right now are these institutions where

104
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 1: they're not able to have UM students on campus. I

105
00:05:25,680 --> 00:05:28,720
Speaker 1: really need these dollars and resources. And so, you know,

106
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: like King said, not just I have a dream speech,

107
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,680
Speaker 1: but that fierce urgency of now this is a really

108
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:37,440
Speaker 1: really important moment for this institution UH to make sure

109
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: that it not just survives, but thrives going into beyond. Well, um,

110
00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:48,440
Speaker 1: Vice President elect, it's an HBCU grad Howard University. Do

111
00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:52,440
Speaker 1: you think that's that's important for the HBCU brand. An

112
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,800
Speaker 1: HBCU I'm now to have someone in that power position

113
00:05:55,839 --> 00:05:59,280
Speaker 1: because hbc has always struggled to find their vorce financially.

114
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:02,800
Speaker 1: Or you know, Donald Trump when you signed the the

115
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:06,560
Speaker 1: law the budget in September of twenty eighteen, said he

116
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: did more for HP schools C schools than anybody had

117
00:06:09,560 --> 00:06:13,839
Speaker 1: done in history. What can Kamala Harris do? Vice President,

118
00:06:13,920 --> 00:06:19,360
Speaker 1: Let Kamala Harris do for HBCU schools moving forward? One

119
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: big example, I mean, you know, making sure that. Yeah,

120
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:30,480
Speaker 1: there is no question about the vibe the HBCU experience.

121
00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:33,240
Speaker 1: Always look at Kamala Harris and see that as a

122
00:06:33,279 --> 00:06:36,520
Speaker 1: Howard rad she's now in the room. She is um

123
00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 1: uh one step away from being for one breath away

124
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: from being president of the United States. So that that's first.

125
00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,760
Speaker 1: The second thing is it's always about that shared experience

126
00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: because she's lived that experience, she knows how to bring

127
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:51,359
Speaker 1: that to the table. And you know this better than most.

128
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:53,840
Speaker 1: Anytime you have a bad black woman at the table,

129
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:56,159
Speaker 1: which are you stronger for? And so I think that

130
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: we're going to be stronger for having her there. And

131
00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:01,560
Speaker 1: it's really when you look at the whole situation. Now,

132
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: you know you were born and raised in South Carolina,

133
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:08,480
Speaker 1: but you went to school in Atlanta, Georgia, Georgia in particular.

134
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,800
Speaker 1: So now we have a very uh interesting Senate racist

135
00:07:11,840 --> 00:07:14,640
Speaker 1: going down between the Democrats and Republicans. With two seats

136
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:18,640
Speaker 1: can be creative imbalance or balance in the Senate. And

137
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: then also but I want to go back and when

138
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 1: when Joe Biden was scuffling, when he was he got

139
00:07:24,160 --> 00:07:26,520
Speaker 1: we were bad in the battle. Then he came to

140
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:30,880
Speaker 1: the came to South Carolina and she called he calls

141
00:07:30,960 --> 00:07:33,680
Speaker 1: him his friend who came to his rescue. Let's talk

142
00:07:33,680 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: about how important that was. And will his friend James

143
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: Clapper and play a role into the upcoming administration of

144
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,280
Speaker 1: Joe Biden. Well, I don't think. I don't think Jim's

145
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 1: going to d C. Jim is eighty years old. He

146
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: ain't trying to go up. Theren't work that hard. Uh,

147
00:07:57,080 --> 00:07:59,840
Speaker 1: you know, I have to losing came a second into DADA,

148
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:01,920
Speaker 1: but losing IW in Hampshire that it became that much

149
00:08:01,920 --> 00:08:04,880
Speaker 1: more important. And he was gonna win South Carolina. Like,

150
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,760
Speaker 1: let's not get it twisted. Like my mom and daddy

151
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,320
Speaker 1: and all of them, we're gonna vote for Joe Biden.

152
00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 1: They had the relationship with him, He still had the

153
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:14,640
Speaker 1: Obama halo from working with them eight years. But because

154
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:19,040
Speaker 1: Jim came out in a forceful way that he did, um,

155
00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 1: it became resounding. And I think at the resigned Africa

156
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:31,440
Speaker 1: catapulted him through Super two on and and this is

157
00:08:31,440 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 1: a part of the media's fault. I'm like, you can't

158
00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:34,959
Speaker 1: dictate who's gonna be the winner of the primary until

159
00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: you u until you actually have black people to vote

160
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: because ain't no black people voting? I went, ain't no voting, uh, Hampshire.

161
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:43,680
Speaker 1: But as soon as black people did vote, then you

162
00:08:43,720 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: saw what happened. Now when you when you looked at

163
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,440
Speaker 1: that we're speaking of voting. You know, we see there's

164
00:08:48,440 --> 00:08:51,479
Speaker 1: another recount going on in Georgia. Now this is a

165
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: machine count. They did the hand count. Now as a

166
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:58,000
Speaker 1: machine count, we saw one person abstained from voting when

167
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,320
Speaker 1: it became to the certified and the voting she can from.

168
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:06,160
Speaker 1: We always hear the word democracy. What damaged are has

169
00:09:06,360 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: President Trump conjured up on the possibilities? Is that? What

170
00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: has he done to the system that we all took

171
00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: for granted that we saw that it can be altered

172
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: by our manipulating. It's finally here the season of celebration.

207
00:11:18,160 --> 00:11:19,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we have to review that because

208
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,040
Speaker 1: we're focusing on human beings. We're focusing on Like in Michigan,

209
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,440
Speaker 1: we were focusing on Republicans having a good heart and

210
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:27,840
Speaker 1: one owned did. But I mean, is that do you

211
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,200
Speaker 1: always want that to be the case? Um? You know?

212
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,640
Speaker 1: So you know these are norms and we need to

213
00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,240
Speaker 1: make sure that we crystallize these norms and put them

214
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: into law. If not, then our democracy is right to

215
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: be overtaken. But it held up, and it held up

216
00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:47,319
Speaker 1: with Donald Trump. I don't think we're gonna have anybody

217
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:50,560
Speaker 1: nearly as as Bull and China shops Donald Trump, but

218
00:11:50,559 --> 00:11:53,320
Speaker 1: it held up through his presidency. So democracy wins and

219
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: lives another day. Wow issue did I'm talking to the

220
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,840

Speaker 1: now my man the car Sellers is on this show.

235
00:12:37,880 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: But card has been an interesting year for me, an

236
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: interesting year for you. We went through the pandemic, and

237
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,800
Speaker 1: we went through civil unrest. And let's talk about the

238
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: pandemic and how it impacted you and still impacted us all,

239
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:50,040
Speaker 1: especially African Americans before I get to the civil unrest.

240
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 1: Yeah no, and I'll be at the stream of THWN

241
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: on today. I'll actually be in Denmark for about thirty

242
00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:00,640
Speaker 1: minutes or so, so please tune in, make sure you

243
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: get if you can. UM. You know that this pandemic

244
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:07,520
Speaker 1: ripped it off the inequalities that we have in the communities,

245
00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:10,240
Speaker 1: especially when it comes to black and brown folks. UM,

246
00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: the lack of that quality care. Uh you know, the

247
00:13:13,600 --> 00:13:16,400
Speaker 1: fact that the black folk are dying and disproportionately high

248
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:21,959
Speaker 1: rates UM compared to their white counterparts. The business black

249
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:24,839
Speaker 1: businesses are shutting down and the disproportionate rate compared to

250
00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:28,080
Speaker 1: their white counterparts. And so with all those things things said,

251
00:13:28,120 --> 00:13:30,040
Speaker 1: I just think that that this is the time that

252
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:32,640
Speaker 1: we have to fight through it together and hopefully get

253
00:13:32,679 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 1: some government assistance as we're moving through and hopefully that's

254
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,960
Speaker 1: one of the first things that the Biden Harris administration does. Well.

255
00:13:40,280 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: Will it happen though, what the device isnes you know,

256
00:13:42,920 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: we know there's democratic lead in the House now we're

257
00:13:46,440 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: looking at these two seats. It could be fifty fifty

258
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,560
Speaker 1: and the ties being broken by our Vice President elect

259
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:57,040
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris, it could be and then you have a

260
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,439
Speaker 1: problem getting people approved in di Biden the cabinet, you

261
00:14:01,520 --> 00:14:04,520
Speaker 1: got getting people approved, the potential. I don't want to

262
00:14:04,520 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: say anybody could pass away another potential Supreme Court justice.

263
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,440
Speaker 1: Politics have become left and right that I was talking

264
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:13,680
Speaker 1: to my wife, I go, when did they become left

265
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: and right? When it became the left side, the radical

266
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: left the right? When you keep when liberal became a

267
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:23,800
Speaker 1: bad is that the uh Donald Trump just pulled the

268
00:14:23,880 --> 00:14:26,720
Speaker 1: scab off of something that was just just simmering there.

269
00:14:26,760 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: They make it seem like the left is a problem.

270
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 1: The right is the right? That really that bothers me

271
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: the most is that whole campaign that there's some radical

272
00:14:34,760 --> 00:14:37,680
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the commercials down here in Atlanta. They're

273
00:14:37,720 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 1: not even the Republicans aren't even runn commercial about what

274
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:44,600
Speaker 1: they're gonna do. They're just screaming about pelosity, screaming about Shuma.

275
00:14:44,720 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: They're screaming about the radical left. What they're gonna do.

276
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 1: They're gonna bring down America. Where did this come from? Bakari? Well,

277
00:14:52,600 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: it's a combination of Trump combination and social media. It's

278
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:57,360
Speaker 1: a combination of twenty far Our news cycles, and it's

279
00:14:57,360 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: a combination awful people running for us right. I always

280
00:15:01,160 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: tell people that you got to stop telling people what

281
00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:04,880
Speaker 1: you're against and begin to tell people what you're for.

282
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:07,840
Speaker 1: We just have enough of that. And you see that

283
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: down in Georgia with the negative ads they're playing. So, um,

284
00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:15,480
Speaker 1: will it get better after Trump? Yeah? Um, but will

285
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:17,240
Speaker 1: it still be hard to push forth an agenda this

286
00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: good for the country. Yeah, that's why Georgia is so important.

287
00:15:19,720 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: So anybody listening down and we got relatively good to

288
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,080
Speaker 1: get on the phone, make phone calls, do everything you can,

289
00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:29,520
Speaker 1: because those two seats are that important. Yeah, and because

290
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: what I've what I've told people before, the Republicans are

291
00:15:33,360 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 1: interesting because last you just took several years ago when

292
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,240
Speaker 1: also he had gotten into the run off of news

293
00:15:39,280 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: four percent and Karen Handled she had only had gotten

294
00:15:42,560 --> 00:15:45,520
Speaker 1: eighteen percent. Well, when the official election came through, she

295
00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,800
Speaker 1: won fifty eight. His number didn't really even move. His

296
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: percentage stayed the same. And so that's what happens. The

297
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: Republican Party really goes on into the rural community and

298
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:58,040
Speaker 1: have a stranglehold on that voice. And that's where the

299
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: Democrats have to get out there. I know that Stacy

300
00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:03,000
Speaker 1: Abrahams has has played a major role in that. Do

301
00:16:03,080 --> 00:16:05,080
Speaker 1: you think she's going to have a role in the

302
00:16:05,080 --> 00:16:09,000
Speaker 1: Biden cabinet, abandon abandon Brighton presidency right in the next

303
00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:10,520
Speaker 1: four years. I'm not going to since she's gonna have

304
00:16:10,560 --> 00:16:17,720
Speaker 1: a cabinet seat. Just Stacy's running for governor. So yeah,

305
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: I just put that. Chalk that up, Chalk that up.

306
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:24,640
Speaker 1: She's running. She's run up for governor in two so

307
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: you know, going to chalk that up. Stacy. Stacy did

311
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:38,240

312
00:16:38,280 --> 00:16:39,920
Speaker 1: let's just I'm gonna wrap up this on this start

313
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: about the I saw your TV the cast to h

314
00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:47,960
Speaker 1: H the civil ar civil arrest tied to how the

315
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,840
Speaker 1: treatment of black men. You know, I saw what Van

316
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: Jones did, when did when Biden won, you know, and

317
00:16:55,800 --> 00:17:00,120
Speaker 1: I know that when that weekend, when uh, all the

318
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:02,160
Speaker 1: march is going, a lot of my white friends called

319
00:17:02,200 --> 00:17:05,879
Speaker 1: me and they basically apologize. They basically said I didn't know.

320
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,959
Speaker 1: They basically asked me, is it real? Do you do?

321
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: You do you live a life like that. For you

322
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,720
Speaker 1: don't feel safe, that you don't feel comfortable, that you

323
00:17:14,760 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 1: walk in the room and you feel that people are

324
00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:19,440
Speaker 1: looking at you, not because of what you can do

325
00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:21,119
Speaker 1: or what they think that you might do, and it

326
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: might be wrong. I say, yes, that's my life every

327
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: day as a black man. And it's really, it really

328
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:30,960
Speaker 1: was compelling to see your reaction and Steve and Jones

329
00:17:31,080 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: reaction because of the fact that we know as black

330
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: men that it's not gonna change. I'm still gonna be

331
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 1: perceived by a group of people as a negative image.

332
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:44,399
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna be perceived when they that I might

333
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:46,160
Speaker 1: be selling crack if I get in a good car.

334
00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:49,680
Speaker 1: You know that that I think that's a reason that

335
00:17:49,840 --> 00:17:51,159
Speaker 1: I think that's the reason that you and I are

336
00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:54,879
Speaker 1: participating in this program because although we acknowledge the harsh

337
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,520
Speaker 1: realities of our experience, we also have to have faith

338
00:17:57,560 --> 00:17:59,520
Speaker 1: and hope in the future. And you know the reason

339
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: we're helping bar eases because it gives young black men

340
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: like you and me an opportunity to have dreams of

341
00:18:04,960 --> 00:18:07,560
Speaker 1: the future and go out and when we have to

342
00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:09,800
Speaker 1: tear down these stereotypes and rip them apart. So yeah,

343
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:11,960
Speaker 1: it was an emotional summer. It's a hard summer because

344
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:15,800
Speaker 1: I raised little kids and we just have to make

345
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: sure that whatever we're doing, we are an example for

346
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: them and we continue to destroy these stereotypes. And one

347
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,879
Speaker 1: of the ways we do that, it's like giving back

348
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:26,399
Speaker 1: and by one of the ways we get back is

349
00:18:26,440 --> 00:18:29,320
Speaker 1: to participate in programs like the one we're doing and

350
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:33,160
Speaker 1: making sure that Vores College not just survives, but thrives.
