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 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 1: saw what happened. Now when you when you looked at that,

163
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:48,720
Speaker 1: we're speaking of voting. You know, we see there's another

164
00:08:48,760 --> 00:08:52,280
Speaker 1: recount going on in Georgia. Now this is a machine count.

165
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,360
Speaker 1: They did the hand count. Now as a machine count,

166
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,440
Speaker 1: we saw one person abstained from voting when it became

167
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: to the certified and the voting, she can from it.

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? Or 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
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,120
Speaker 1: for granted that we saw that it can be altered

172
00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: by all manipulated. I mean, I think we have to

173
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,720
Speaker 1: review that because we're focusing on human beings. We're focusing

174
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:27,360
Speaker 1: on like in Michigan, we were focusing on Republicans having

175
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,920
Speaker 1: a good heart, and one did. But I mean, is

176
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: that do you always want that to be the case? Um?

177
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:37,080
Speaker 1: You know, so you know these are norms and we

178
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,640
Speaker 1: need to make sure that we crystallize these norms and

179
00:09:39,679 --> 00:09:43,400
Speaker 1: put him in the law. If not, then our democracy

180
00:09:43,520 --> 00:09:47,000
Speaker 1: is right to to be overtaken, but it held up,

181
00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: and it held up with Donald Trump. I don't think

182
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:51,800
Speaker 1: we're gonna have anybody nearly as as Bull and China

183
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,559
Speaker 1: Shop as Donald Trump. But it held up through his presidency.

184
00:09:54,640 --> 00:09:57,880
Speaker 1: So democracy wins and lives another day. Wow issue did

185
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 1: I'm talking to but Cary Sellers. We are talking about

186
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:02,840
Speaker 1: the goal of the Stream of Thon to raise one

187
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:06,480
Speaker 1: million dollars for the college during these unusual pandemic times.

188
00:10:06,520 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 1: You know this is Foh's dream December one. That's Tuesday,

Speaker 1: December one, when when it will be the actual stream

194
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,240
Speaker 1: don't know anything about the college is based in Denmark,

195
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:27,760

00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:31,679
Speaker 1: of the HBCU family and we're trying to get the

Speaker 1: Sellers is on this show. But card has been an

201
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: interesting year for me, an interesting year for you. We

202
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: went through the pandemic and went through civil unrest, And

203
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,920
Speaker 1: let's talk about the pandemic and how it impacted you

204
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:51,599
Speaker 1: and still impacted us all, especially African Americans before I

205
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: get to the civil unrest. Yeah. No, And I'll be

206
00:10:57,000 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: at the stream of than On today. I'll actually be

207
00:10:59,200 --> 00:11:02,480
Speaker 1: in Denmark for thirty minutes or so, so please tune in,

208
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,880
Speaker 1: make sure you get if you can. Um. You know

209
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: that this pandemic, it ripped it off the inequalities that

210
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:11,120
Speaker 1: that we have in the communities, especially when it comes

211
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,520
Speaker 1: to black and brown folks. UM, the lack of that

212
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,319
Speaker 1: quality care. Uh, you know, the fact that the black

213
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,680
Speaker 1: folk are dying and disproportionately high rates UM compared to

214
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:25,960
Speaker 1: their white counterparts. The business black businesses are shutting down

215
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,679
Speaker 1: and the disproportionate rate compared to their white counterparts. And

216
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:31,360
Speaker 1: so with all those things things said, I just think

217
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,200
Speaker 1: that that this is the time that we have to

218
00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:36,280
Speaker 1: fight through it together and hopefully get some government assistance

219
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,040
Speaker 1: as we're moving through. And hopefully that's one of the

220
00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:41,640
Speaker 1: first things that the Biden and Harris administration does. Well,

221
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:45,720
Speaker 1: will it happen, though, what the devisiveness? You know, we

222
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,360
Speaker 1: know there's democratic lead in the House. Now we're looking

223
00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:51,440
Speaker 1: at these two seats. It could be fifty fifty and

224
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: the ties being broken by our Vice president elect Kamala Harris.

225
00:11:56,320 --> 00:12:00,720
Speaker 1: It could be and then you have a problem getting

226
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,760
Speaker 1: people approved and the Biden, the cabinet, you've got getting

227
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 1: people approved, the potential I don't want to say anybody

228
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:12,440
Speaker 1: could pass away another potential Supreme Court justice. Politics have

229
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,600
Speaker 1: become left and right that I was talking to my wife,

230
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: I go, when did they become left and right? When

231
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,480
Speaker 1: it became the left side, the radical left the right?

232
00:12:20,600 --> 00:12:25,040
Speaker 1: When you keep when liberal became a bad is that did? Uh?

233
00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:27,720
Speaker 1: Donald Trump just pulled the scab off of something that

234
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: was just just simmering there. They make it seem like

235
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: the left is a problem. The right is the right?

236
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,600
Speaker 1: That really the bothers me the most is that whole

237
00:12:35,679 --> 00:12:38,520
Speaker 1: campaign that there's some radical I'm looking at the commercials

238
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,200
Speaker 1: down here in Atlanta. They're not even the Republicans aren't

239
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:44,520
Speaker 1: even running commercial about what they're gonna do. They're just

240
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:48,199
Speaker 1: screaming about pelosity, screaming about Shuma. They're screaming about the

241
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:50,640
Speaker 1: radical left. What they're gonna do. They're gonna bring down America.

242
00:12:50,920 --> 00:12:56,000
Speaker 1: Where does this come from, Bakari? Well, it's the combination

243
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: of Trump combination and social media's a combination of twenty

244
00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,000
Speaker 1: far our news cycles, and it is a combination awful

245
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,560
Speaker 1: people running for all. I always tell people that you've

246
00:13:04,559 --> 00:13:06,600
Speaker 1: got to stop telling people what you're against and begin

247
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: to tell people what you're for. We just had enough

248
00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: of that. And you see that down in Georgia with

249
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,760
Speaker 1: the negative ads they're playing. So, um, will it get

250
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 1: better after Trump? Yeah? Um, but will it still be

251
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,000
Speaker 1: hard to push forth an agenda this skill for the country. Yeah,

252
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,079
Speaker 1: that's why Georgia is so important. So anybody listening down

253
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: and we got relatively good to get on the phone,

254
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:29,520
Speaker 1: make phone calls, do everything you can, because those two

255
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: seats are that important. Yeah, and because what I what

256
00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:37,360
Speaker 1: I've told people before, the Republicans are interesting because last

257
00:13:37,400 --> 00:13:40,719
Speaker 1: you just took several years ago when also he had

258
00:13:40,760 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: gotten into a run off of news four percent and

259
00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,199
Speaker 1: Karen handled she had only had I gotten eighteen percent. Well,

260
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,679
Speaker 1: when the official election came through, she won fifty eight.

261
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:52,679
Speaker 1: His number didn't really even move. His percentage stayed the same.

262
00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: And so that's what happens. The Republican Party really goes

263
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,440
Speaker 1: out into the rural community and have a stranglehold on

264
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:01,679
Speaker 1: that voice. And that's where the Democrats have to get

265
00:14:01,679 --> 00:14:04,839
Speaker 1: out there. I know that Stacy Abrahams has has played

266
00:14:04,840 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: a major role in that. Do you think she's going

267
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: to have a role in the Biden cabinet abandon abandon

268
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:12,319
Speaker 1: Brighton presidency right in the next four years. I'm not

269
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:18,240
Speaker 1: gonna say she's gonna have a cabinet seat. Just Stacy's

270
00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:21,360
Speaker 1: running for governor. So yeah, I just put that. Chalk

271
00:14:21,440 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 1: that up and chalk that up. She's running. She's run

272
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:28,320
Speaker 1: up for governor in two so you know, going to

273
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: chalk that up. Stacy, Stacy did the work and so

274
00:14:31,760 --> 00:14:35,200
Speaker 1: um you know she she Georgia Blue and so um

275
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,920
Speaker 1: you know she has the ability to run. She's gonna

276
00:14:37,000 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: raise the money and she's gonna make it a local racing.

277
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:41,600
Speaker 1: We'll see what happens. Well, let's let's just I'm gonna

278
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,440
Speaker 1: wrap up this on the start about the I saw

279
00:14:44,480 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: your TV or the cards to uh, the civil Arday,

280
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: civil arrest tied to how the treatment of black men.

281
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: You know, I saw what Van Jones did. When did

282
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: when Biden won? You know, and I know that when

283
00:14:59,680 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: that we can when uh all the marches going, A

284
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: lot of my white friends called me and then basically apologize.

285
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:09,840
Speaker 1: They basically said, I didn't know. They basically asked me,

286
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:12,680
Speaker 1: is it real? Do you do? You do you live

287
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,680
Speaker 1: a life like that? For you don't feel safe, that

288
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,160
Speaker 1: you don't feel comfortable that you walk in the room

289
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: and you feel that people are looking at you, not

290
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: because of what you can do or what they think

291
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,120
Speaker 1: that you might do and it might be wrong. I see, Yes,

292
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:28,280
Speaker 1: that's my life every day as a black man. And

293
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:32,360
Speaker 1: it's really it really was compelling to see your reaction

294
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: and ste Van jones reaction because of the fact that

295
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 1: we know as black men that it's not gonna change.

296
00:15:40,120 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: I'm still gonna be perceived by a group of people

297
00:15:43,640 --> 00:15:46,120
Speaker 1: as a negative image. I'm still gonna be perceived when

298
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:48,320
Speaker 1: they that I might be selling crack if I get

299
00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:51,720
Speaker 1: in a good car. You know that that. I think

300
00:15:51,760 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: that's the reason that I think that's the reason that

301
00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:55,680
Speaker 1: you and I are participating in this program because although

302
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:59,480
Speaker 1: we acknowledge the harsh realities of our experience, we also

303
00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: have that faith and hoping the future. And you know,

304
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 1: the reason we're helping Borries is because it gives young

305
00:16:04,240 --> 00:16:07,200
Speaker 1: black men like you and me an opportunity to have

306
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: dreams of the future and go out and when we

307
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,160
Speaker 1: have to tear down these stereotypes and rip them apart.

311

312
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: And one of the ways we do that, it's like

313
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: giving back and by one of the ways we get

314
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,400
