This 101 00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 1: is this is when you at the house watching the movie. 102 00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:08,320 Speaker 1: My mom used as all the time.

But I'll never forget that interview was 221 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 1: a pivotal moment for me also being a young person, 222 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:22,400 Speaker 1: which was during the interview, Kevin Hart had addressed who 223 00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,280 Speaker 1: he felt was going to have like this long successful career, 224 00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:29,959 Speaker 1: and I am merely thought he was gonna like look too, 225 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,800 Speaker 1: because Cameron's dressed like he has a suit on yet 226 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,160 Speaker 1: he was like super professional glasses and he said, hey, 227 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: how are you doing like hey, like like like he's 228 00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:42,559 Speaker 1: like Clark Kent. He was super professional and I totally 229 00:12:42,559 --> 00:12:45,199 Speaker 1: got it. And that's how one of them, James shows up. 230 00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: I think he had a mohawk. It was just like 231 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,560 Speaker 1: extreme and I was like, semi mortified, semi wanted to 232 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:53,160 Speaker 1: pull James from the interview. I said, I didn't know this, 233 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:55,120 Speaker 1: Thank you for telling me that. But I was just 234 00:12:55,200 --> 00:12:57,559 Speaker 1: like I felt on the lines of Cameron. But one 235 00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:00,280 Speaker 1: of the things that Kevin Hart addressed, and I'll never 236 00:13:00,320 --> 00:13:03,840 Speaker 1: forget this, is that by James being unique, he was like, 237 00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: I will always remember you, and you will always stand out, 238 00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,520 Speaker 1: and you know, he could see this bright future head 239 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,680 Speaker 1: and I remember just being taken back by that statement, 240 00:13:12,760 --> 00:13:15,840 Speaker 1: Like how important is to be yourself? I learned that 241 00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:18,440 Speaker 1: from our Lawrence. That's the funny thing. I did an 242 00:13:18,440 --> 00:13:22,360 Speaker 1: interview somebody talking about like, um, how did he get 243 00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:24,440 Speaker 1: his successes? He said, took longer because he was trying 244 00:13:24,440 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: to be himself. I don't want to conform to anybody, 245 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,000 Speaker 1: especially My thing is I think who I am it 246 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,880 Speaker 1: is perfect enough. Some some a lot of black people, 247 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,439 Speaker 1: they like try to perform to two white guylines and 248 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:45,959 Speaker 1: try to make sure they're happy. Not me. If I'm 249 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:47,640 Speaker 1: that guy, would be that guy all the time. But 250 00:13:47,679 --> 00:13:50,080 Speaker 1: you don't ever walk into an office and put on 251 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,319 Speaker 1: like a white person voice. No, this is the thing, 252 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,920 Speaker 1: you know what I'm talking about? What about Nick Good? Hey, 253 00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,440 Speaker 1: I'm John, Nice to meet you. That's the That's not 254 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,520 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. What I'm saying is I'm not just ignorant, 255 00:14:03,640 --> 00:14:07,400 Speaker 1: just ghetto, super loud person. Naturally, I go to restaurants, 256 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,440 Speaker 1: I'm myself. But if there's a time where I still 257 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,200 Speaker 1: talk like who I am, I'm not gonna change who. 258 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:12,959 Speaker 1: I Am not going to change my morals. I'm not 259 00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 1: gonna change eyes, how I treat certain people. Anybody's equal 260 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,280 Speaker 1: to me. Everybody don't care if you're a billionaire janitor. 261 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,400 Speaker 1: Everybody is equal to me. So I just want to 262 00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,160 Speaker 1: I purposely make content. Was talking about like black lives 263 00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,640 Speaker 1: matter and stuff like that, because when I was younger, 264 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,280 Speaker 1: I've been through a lot of racist things. I had 265 00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 1: a lot of UM, I had some crazy things happened 266 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 1: to me. UM in middle school. I don't even you 267 00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: know this one middle tell us something I don't know. Please. 268 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:39,600 Speaker 1: So I was in middle school and I was the 269 00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:42,200 Speaker 1: president of middle school and the reason why I was 270 00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,000 Speaker 1: president of the president gets to be Santa Claus, and 271 00:14:44,040 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 1: I want to be Santa Claus. So I went to 272 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:50,760 Speaker 1: a racist area in middle school and so, um, apparently 273 00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:53,120 Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm eighth grade. I don't know what's going 274 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 1: on the whole school. Apparently it was. It was it 275 00:14:55,360 --> 00:14:57,040 Speaker 1: was a problem that I was gonna be Santa Claus, 276 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:59,240 Speaker 1: a black Santa Claus. I didn't notice at the time. 277 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: I had to counsel saying, are you sure you'd be, like, yeah, 278 00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: I want being president, and my teacher and student government teachers. 279 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 1: And then so when I was Santa Claus, the next 280 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:10,440 Speaker 1: day after my Santa Claus set up when he was 281 00:15:10,440 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: taking picture with the kids and all that next day 282 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: the schools tacked up with niggers all over the school. 283 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:18,680 Speaker 1: Yeah I'm not I'm not saying it was because of me, 284 00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,560 Speaker 1: but I was black Santa Claus. And then the next 285 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: day that's not the first time at the school it 286 00:15:22,720 --> 00:15:24,840 Speaker 1: was tacked up, but it just so happens. I felt 287 00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,680 Speaker 1: like that has something to do with me. And then 288 00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: by five years later in high school, I seen a 289 00:15:29,200 --> 00:15:31,080 Speaker 1: white girl that went to that middle school. She told 290 00:15:31,080 --> 00:15:33,760 Speaker 1: me her father took her out that school because they 291 00:15:33,840 --> 00:15:35,880 Speaker 1: allowed a black sand they allowed me to be Santa 292 00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: Claus may be in black in Santa Claus is a 293 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:42,640 Speaker 1: fictional character. It's like if you came as a black Jesus, 294 00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: I could I could see them almost trying, because you 295 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,280 Speaker 1: know how you read the Bible, and it's like the 296 00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:49,600 Speaker 1: way they described Jesus at the end of the day, 297 00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:53,880 Speaker 1: Jesus is Mexican, because at the end of the day. 298 00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 1: When I was in high school, I was I had 299 00:15:56,880 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: transferred high schools, and I'll never forget. I would always 300 00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:03,480 Speaker 1: leave my locker open because I could never I just, 301 00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:05,880 Speaker 1: for whatever reason, suck at the locks, like you know, 302 00:16:06,400 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: the directions and stuff. Just three numbers. Struggled with that. 303 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:13,200 Speaker 1: I struggled really hard. Three numbers literally be at my 304 00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:15,400 Speaker 1: locker like twenty minutes. So I would always leave it open. 305 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,600 Speaker 1: And uh, one day I came to school and I 306 00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:20,400 Speaker 1: would always have my dry race board in there, and 307 00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: they had put swatzikas in KKK in it, and I 308 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:28,840 Speaker 1: I'm Jewish and Jamaicans. It was like, damn, you know 309 00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:32,520 Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Yeah, Jamaican, Yeah, kids are kids are evil. 310 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:35,320 Speaker 1: Two kids, it's always it's always gonna be here. This 311 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,600 Speaker 1: evil has always gonna be here. But that's why you 312 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: just gotta be strong within yourself. You gotta love yourself 313 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,000 Speaker 1: first and fun everybody else. Yeah, I agree, and but 314 00:16:44,080 --> 00:16:46,800 Speaker 1: I remember that being the first time that I had, 315 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:49,240 Speaker 1: I think more trust issues because you knew about races 316 00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 1: and I had seen my neighbors called my mom the 317 00:16:52,760 --> 00:16:56,280 Speaker 1: N word like the like that was. I was like, 318 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,239 Speaker 1: probably ten, the first time I've seen them treat her differently. 319 00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:00,880 Speaker 1: But did you reallye that what's going on? When you 320 00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:04,760 Speaker 1: did you? Did you just accept it? I think that 321 00:17:04,840 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: was my maybe my first encounter with the N word. 322 00:17:07,480 --> 00:17:10,200 Speaker 1: It was just like, oh, my first encounter. I think 323 00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 1: we was so memorable because they treated her so bad 324 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:14,600 Speaker 1: and she was so nice, and she would just be like, 325 00:17:14,640 --> 00:17:16,439 Speaker 1: you gotta push through it. You gotta be nice. And 326 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:19,040 Speaker 1: those same neighbors that called her the N word and all. 327 00:17:19,920 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 1: It took her like twenty years, but eventually they're like cordial, 328 00:17:24,359 --> 00:17:26,360 Speaker 1: like they don't talk to her like that anymore. But 329 00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:29,680 Speaker 1: as a kid, you you develop a sense of fear, like, oh, 330 00:17:29,840 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: there's a blind hatred. When they did it in my 331 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:35,760 Speaker 1: high school, I skipped prompt because I was so paranoid, 332 00:17:35,800 --> 00:17:38,879 Speaker 1: like I didn't know who had done it at the time, 333 00:17:38,960 --> 00:17:42,160 Speaker 1: you know, they were it was burned across like weird stuff. 334 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: I was like, oh man, this is like upstate New York. Okay, yeah, 335 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:47,800 Speaker 1: in Brooklyn, we didn't really deal with it, but an 336 00:17:47,920 --> 00:17:52,119 Speaker 1: upstate it's not enough diversity. But it was traumatic, you know, 337 00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:53,720 Speaker 1: So what did you learn from it? Like do you 338 00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: feel like like today, like do you put up with it? 339 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: And so if somebody did that today and you knew 340 00:17:58,760 --> 00:18:01,680 Speaker 1: who it was, what is your actually, Well, I remember 341 00:18:01,680 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: my senior year there was an incident where a boy 342 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:07,399 Speaker 1: called me the N word to my face, and you know, 343 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:13,680 Speaker 1: I'm Jamaican from Brooklyn.

What are you doing? 346 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:26,840 Speaker 1: I'm creature of habit probably tight boots okay around there 347 00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 1: because my fiance would be like, you know, he'd probably 348 00:18:29,600 --> 00:18:33,080 Speaker 1: be like that. That's the crazy thing with just being black, 349 00:18:33,160 --> 00:18:36,240 Speaker 1: Like you see these videos I'm not talking about like 350 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 1: the cop ones, but just videos of just a random 351 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:41,680 Speaker 1: white person rund a black person and the black people. 352 00:18:41,840 --> 00:18:44,840 Speaker 1: We just have to naturally be the calmed ones, because 353 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:48,119 Speaker 1: if we snap, were looked at as the animals. Nobody asked, oh, 354 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:50,959 Speaker 1: why did you smash his head with the frying pan, 355 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,720 Speaker 1: But you didn't see the fitting twenty second before that 356 00:18:53,720 --> 00:18:55,359 Speaker 1: when he said it, called him an inn word thirty 357 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:58,280 Speaker 1: two times and saying all this race, I think it 358 00:18:58,320 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 1: needs to be legal.

It's a reaction, it's a work. It's an 361 00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 1: emotional reaction out of people. I actually had an incident 362 00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: this past weekend. My fiance and I were traveling to 363 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: Austin and, uh, there's a white clerk at the counter, 364 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:21,000 Speaker 1: and we're having issues like the hotel room. You know, 365 00:19:21,000 --> 00:19:23,199 Speaker 1: we ran out a suite and the suite wasn't like 366 00:19:23,280 --> 00:19:25,080 Speaker 1: up to COVID standards. You know, we're from l A. 367 00:19:25,080 --> 00:19:26,959 Speaker 1: Austin's out there, but we were like, hey, you know, 368 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:31,679 Speaker 1: so anyways, we were like, you know, it's not clean. 369 00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,320 Speaker 1: You know, we need to like either get a different 370 00:19:34,320 --> 00:19:37,440 Speaker 1: hotel or just you know whatever.

But the 393 00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 1: whole time, the whole thing we're telling ourselves is be calm, 394 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:50,240 Speaker 1: make sure that um you know, because we're automatically judged 395 00:20:50,240 --> 00:20:53,720 Speaker 1: at a higher degree, which sucks because we're all sitting 396 00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:56,920 Speaker 1: there prepping ourselves even though we weren't wrong the entire 397 00:20:56,960 --> 00:21:01,440 Speaker 1: time for this crazy when it comes to us, people 398 00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,399 Speaker 1: forget to ask why they acted that way. They just 399 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,080 Speaker 1: get the actions. That sucks, But not that I don't 400 00:21:07,080 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: want to spend more time on this topic. I have 401 00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:14,119 Speaker 1: to know who are like, yeah, quick pivot, I have 402 00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: to know why I have you because we don't have 403 00:21:15,720 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 1: that much time left. But I do have to know. 404 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:22,480 Speaker 1: In regards to you being in an influencer, what would 405 00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,000 Speaker 1: you say, like, who is your favorite celebrity to cover 406 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:29,760 Speaker 1: or favorite topic to cover? Besides you know, the Black 407 00:21:29,800 --> 00:21:34,000 Speaker 1: Lives movement? Okay, so I make it. I'm I don't 408 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,520 Speaker 1: talk about black women. I found a black pop. Don't 409 00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,960 Speaker 1: see that there was a problem. At one point in time, 410 00:21:39,960 --> 00:21:42,520 Speaker 1: I used to use a motion of my videos like 411 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,600 Speaker 1: like stuff I was angry at. But now I would 412 00:21:44,640 --> 00:21:48,040 Speaker 1: you say it was a problem because I had I'm 413 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:50,960 Speaker 1: a comedic channel, so I still talk about the same issues, 414 00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:53,359 Speaker 1: but I always take a comedic approach. I try to 415 00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:55,080 Speaker 1: be smart about it. So things I love talking about, 416 00:21:55,119 --> 00:21:57,159 Speaker 1: like talking about with rappers Messing. I used to like 417 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: talking about six nine. But I think we're part of 418 00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:02,120 Speaker 1: the problem. While he's popular, people like people like blogs 419 00:22:02,200 --> 00:22:07,240 Speaker 1: or just keep people like that are literally popping because 420 00:22:07,280 --> 00:22:10,320 Speaker 1: of the hate. Trump was popping because of the hate. 421 00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,439 Speaker 1: If people that hated Trump didn't say ship, then nobody 422 00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,760 Speaker 1: want to MAGA.

I don't 452 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: like making videos about that because that's something that's really affective. 453 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:42,679 Speaker 1: Are you talking like the Kim and Kanye? Just what 454 00:23:42,800 --> 00:23:45,240 Speaker 1: is Kims got going on? That's so deep? And I'm 455 00:23:45,280 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: not poking fun of it. I just do it out 456 00:23:47,240 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: there if somebody is going through something deep where I 457 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:52,639 Speaker 1: start to notice their life is really being affected. Like 458 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,560 Speaker 1: Jesse Smolet, like he was wrong what he did, but 459 00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:57,959 Speaker 1: you could tell in his interviews something's going on with him. 460 00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,320 Speaker 1: So I stopped stopped talking about Oh that's cool. So 461 00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:04,040 Speaker 1: you're like the anti bully comedian. You just have a 462 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,919 Speaker 1: little hard I have a heart. And then it's it's 463 00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:10,040 Speaker 1: you can go too far in situations. Um, I can 464 00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,119 Speaker 1: make a video and then to be and get a 465 00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,520 Speaker 1: bunch of views and comments and likes because it's a 466 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:17,840 Speaker 1: trending topic, and then I can keep making videos. But 467 00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,760 Speaker 1: it's at what point of my doing I'm just doing 468 00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,800 Speaker 1: it for cloud. Now I'm doing to make people. I'm 469 00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,200 Speaker 1: trying to entertain people. I'm not. I don't want to 470 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:25,879 Speaker 1: never do anything for cloud. I was wondering, like what 471 00:24:26,040 --> 00:24:29,479 Speaker 1: the difference is between the cloud and you doing it 472 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:32,000 Speaker 1: for content? And I also want to circle back to 473 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: I know we're limited in time, guys, but I also 474 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:38,359 Speaker 1: want to circle that back to, um, the why you 475 00:24:38,400 --> 00:24:42,640 Speaker 1: don't touch on black women. Okay, so the difference between 476 00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:48,640 Speaker 1: cloud and content, it's talent. People, you ask them of somebody. Okay, 477 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,760 Speaker 1: why you want a bunch of followers on TikTok or Twitter? 478 00:24:51,119 --> 00:24:53,600 Speaker 1: I just want them. That's the Kim Kardashian effect. I 479 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:56,080 Speaker 1: just I just have them. You have the cloud, that's 480 00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,040 Speaker 1: the cloud. I just I just want cloud. Now me, 481 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,600 Speaker 1: I have a talent. I want to do this for 482 00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:03,439 Speaker 1: my stand up career. And that's why I'm growing an 483 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,119 Speaker 1: audience because it makes my my job easier to promote 484 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:07,920 Speaker 1: shows and stuff like that, and people can see my 485 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:09,720 Speaker 1: style of comedy and people fall in love with what 486 00:25:09,800 --> 00:25:12,080 Speaker 1: I do. So I have a purpose of why I 487 00:25:12,119 --> 00:25:15,240 Speaker 1: want the contents to have the cloud. But most of 488 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,640 Speaker 1: people just make content that all the time.

I just think, um like, 493 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:35,879 Speaker 1: I'm very picky like um like, I think black women 494 00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:39,679 Speaker 1: they have to go through racism and sexism. And uh, 495 00:25:39,720 --> 00:25:41,520 Speaker 1: I know a lot of white people. They can't acknowledge 496 00:25:41,520 --> 00:25:43,840 Speaker 1: their white privilege, but I can acknowledge my male privilege. 497 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 1: So I would like to use my mail privilege to 498 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:53,840 Speaker 1: help black women we loves those sweet it's because it's 499 00:25:53,960 --> 00:25:56,240 Speaker 1: it's the truth. There's situations with black women. You take 500 00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:59,359 Speaker 1: a black girl, she's tworking, just with her girlfriends, a 501 00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,480 Speaker 1: bunch of black black men in the conversation. Look at 502 00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:05,840 Speaker 1: these thoughts, look at these holes, look at these same situation. 503 00:26:05,880 --> 00:26:07,960 Speaker 1: I see that all the time in the shade room Hollywood, 504 00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,480 Speaker 1: A lot post a picture of a white girl. It's 505 00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,480 Speaker 1: working and all they're just having fun. What's the difference. 506 00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,760 Speaker 1: It's just because black women look better with bigger butts 507 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,159 Speaker 1: and stuff like that. It's just Yeah, I'll tell you 508 00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 1: something that's kind of funny. And I discovered it in 509 00:26:21,640 --> 00:26:24,040 Speaker 1: my twenties when I decided to finally put on a dresses. 510 00:26:24,480 --> 00:26:26,320 Speaker 1: You know, I would see, say a white girl wears 511 00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:30,720 Speaker 1: the dress on for the first time, being pretty. But 512 00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 1: but yeah, I remember, you know, I would go to 513 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: the store in the same dress that like a white 514 00:26:35,640 --> 00:26:37,920 Speaker 1: girl where I will put on and when I will 515 00:26:37,960 --> 00:26:40,280 Speaker 1: put on the sun dress, it would look like a 516 00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:44,160 Speaker 1: club dress because of the curves. But when she will 517 00:26:44,200 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: wear it looked like an innocent dress like the sun dress. 518 00:26:47,160 --> 00:26:49,080 Speaker 1: And that's not your problem. They're booty flattered in the 519 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:52,600 Speaker 1: photo up monopoly board that that's on them to be honest, 520 00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,320 Speaker 1: So continue about bad But yeah, I remember discovering that 521 00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,600 Speaker 1: kind of early. But there is a double standard, you know, 522 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: it's definitely a double stand And you're right. Race does 523 00:27:03,160 --> 00:27:06,879 Speaker 1: or race does play a role in those those conditionalized 524 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,919 Speaker 1: black people to hate on other black people, so they 525 00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:14,320 Speaker 1: only gotta do it. Yeah, we can't get no unity 526 00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:17,600 Speaker 1: because we're conditionalized. We fight over stupidest things. You brought 527 00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,080 Speaker 1: it up earlier. Light skinned versus dark skin. You're black 528 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:21,400 Speaker 1: at the end of the day, and if a white 529 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,879 Speaker 1: man walking here, you're a black chick. White people always 530 00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:28,879 Speaker 1: see me as black Black people many debate my blackness. 531 00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:31,640 Speaker 1: But now since we are on an episode that eating 532 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,399 Speaker 1: want broke, I am just curious as an influencer, what 533 00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:37,000 Speaker 1: do them checks be looking like? Is it worth it? Like? 534 00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,120 Speaker 1: Is it work? Because it's a few years to get 535 00:27:39,160 --> 00:27:43,000 Speaker 1: your following in your your situation. So so if you're 536 00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:45,359 Speaker 1: an influencers in it for the money, then you don't 537 00:27:45,359 --> 00:27:48,120 Speaker 1: do what I do because I cut. I'm very opinionated, 538 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: so a lot of people don't want their brand next. 539 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,600 Speaker 1: So I my videos make some money, but like somebody 540 00:27:54,600 --> 00:27:56,919 Speaker 1: with my amount of following and they're just doing TikTok 541 00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,800 Speaker 1: dances and regular videos with mug Banks. They're probably making 542 00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:03,480 Speaker 1: a shipload of money. But I've never got into making 543 00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,680 Speaker 1: creative content to be a big influence. I got into 544 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,840 Speaker 1: prating content so I could use it for my stand up. 545 00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,800 Speaker 1: So I never intended to make a bunch of money 546 00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:13,560 Speaker 1: off of this. I do make some money, don't get 547 00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:15,679 Speaker 1: me wrong, but it's harder for me because I bet 548 00:28:15,760 --> 00:28:18,480 Speaker 1: on there talking all this ship and I'm you can't 549 00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,040 Speaker 1: put the muzzle on. No, But you do have this 550 00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:27,160 Speaker 1: new podcast? Are we? Are we able to promote it? So? 551 00:28:27,160 --> 00:28:29,000 Speaker 1: So the two things I got. I got my own 552 00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,560 Speaker 1: podcast called off the Mic podcast. That's the place it is, 553 00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:33,680 Speaker 1: what it is? It should I say that I shouldn't 554 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,000 Speaker 1: say on the mic, So it's called Off the Mike. 555 00:28:35,320 --> 00:28:37,919 Speaker 1: And then my radio show, Blue Leg Caps Show.
