Speaker 1: Hold up, Hold up Alert, Barla Nation, Welcome to another
Speaker 1: episode of the Ball Alert Show. I am Ota A
Speaker 1: K A O. C. C. Simmons and I'm your favorite
Speaker 1: Ethiopian suit. So low a little, a little hold live
Speaker 1: will take it. Welcome back to the Ball Alert Show.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you guys tuning in, and I think, um,
Speaker 1: we probably should just get right into it. Huh, unless
Speaker 1: you charge. You got to discuss the charges. Come on,
Speaker 1: break it down, sous all right, So I guess we're
Speaker 1: just gonna go ahead and get into it, Y'ALLU. District
Speaker 1: Attorney Paul Howard of Atlanta, Georgia said that he is
Speaker 1: charging the former officer Garrett Ralf who actually shot Ray
Speaker 1: Shard Brooks in the back in the Wendy's parking lot,
Speaker 1: with eleven counts. One of them is felony murder. I
Speaker 1: know that aggravated assault is on their chrim, no damage
Speaker 1: to property, and violations to his oath of office. You guys,
Speaker 1: this is pretty major. Yeah, like, I like it a lot. Um,
Speaker 1: It's an unfortunate circumstance, but I think, uh, these officers
Speaker 1: will think twice before they decided to try to kill, um,
Speaker 1: someone who could be innocent or guilty killing them. It's
Speaker 1: not the issue. I mean is the issue. Um, it's
Speaker 1: the force to definitely using these these deadly forced tactics.
Speaker 1: And I think it's all about their training too, Yes,
Speaker 1: for sure. And it's just like the message that um
Speaker 1: Jamika Mallory posted on her page. She's she had on there.
Speaker 1: Just like the police escorted the guy who killed all
Speaker 1: those people in that church to Burger King, they could
Speaker 1: have escorted that young man home, ray Searn Brooks home. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And that's why for me, it is difficult to sit
Speaker 1: here and say, you know, it's training. They need to
Speaker 1: be trained. We've seen countless times when they encounter white
Speaker 1: criminals that they know how to take people in without
Speaker 1: killing them. We have seen them show restraint over and
Speaker 1: over again. So I think what it is is, you know,
Speaker 1: police officers are able to sometimes use you know, like disrepency,
Speaker 1: like if if they see something, they can kind of
Speaker 1: gauge it out and see how they want to handle it.
Speaker 1: The thing is, black folks don't get the same opportunity
Speaker 1: as white folks when they getting pulled over. I mean
Speaker 1: we're seeing celebrities and just you know, regular white folks
Speaker 1: on social media, tweeting about what their encounters were like
Speaker 1: when they got pulled over for being drunk. You know,
Speaker 1: even if they were miners or people who you know,
Speaker 1: all these other white people that had committed crimes that
Speaker 1: just gotta slap on the wrist. And then when you
Speaker 1: compare them to what a black person's experience is, it's
Speaker 1: completely different. So, you know what, It's not the training,
Speaker 1: it's the fact that they are intimidated by black people.
Speaker 1: And that is what the basis of racial injustice is
Speaker 1: when it comes to systematic racism in America. They are
Speaker 1: afraid of black people. There's something about us that intimidates them.
Speaker 1: There is something about them that has the need for power.
Speaker 1: And I don't know what's gonna happen. Like you guys
Speaker 1: are obviously losing your power and they're showing out because
Speaker 1: they see that the world is changing. But I don't
Speaker 1: really know. If these charges don't stick, now, it's it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a problem, no, because if they don't, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be another It's gonna be a lot going on
Speaker 1: out here in Atlanta. Go ahead, now, it's gonna piggyback
Speaker 1: off that for sure, because they posted up at their
Speaker 1: Wendy's every day for hours and they wait in you know,
Speaker 1: everybody's waiting. But I will say the reason I said
Speaker 1: training sewers because I think, um, they need to be
Speaker 1: taught that we are just like our Caucasian counterparts. We
Speaker 1: are not I'm threatening, and we just have a different background.
Speaker 1: Of course, I think that they are fearful of us
Speaker 1: because we are naturally a little bit more aggressive than
Speaker 1: our Caucasian kind of parts. But that doesn't mean that
Speaker 1: we are going to kill them. The question. The crazy
Speaker 1: thing is we actually are brought up to be fearful
Speaker 1: of the police, and that is crazy because they're supposed
Speaker 1: to protect and serve our neighborhoods. But when they come
Speaker 1: in our neighborhoods for some reason, they tend to kill
Speaker 1: us and they tell to be uh. They tend to
Speaker 1: be extra um physical with us when they arrest us,
Speaker 1: for it could be for minor things. If they feel
Speaker 1: any type of threat towards us, they tend to be
Speaker 1: extra physical. And I think, to me, it has to
Speaker 1: be some type of training that they need to go
Speaker 1: through because and I understand your points, who I was
Speaker 1: just saying, like in the training part, like they have
Speaker 1: to tell these people like and I and then to
Speaker 1: to segue a little bit, I feel like African Americans
Speaker 1: were like a new species or something because all these
Speaker 1: other things just popping up, came out like we just
Speaker 1: came out like we're a new batch of race or
Speaker 1: something like that. So I do like how things are
Speaker 1: starting to unfold. But unfortunately, I do think the new
Speaker 1: police officers have to have some type of, um, the
Speaker 1: sense of time reform type of training for sure to
Speaker 1: dealing with us in our communities. Well, you know, just
Speaker 1: like you said, we are brought up to fear the police,
Speaker 1: as a white person is brought up to fear black
Speaker 1: people in general. And um, I was just watching this
Speaker 1: video of this white man who was going off on
Speaker 1: white people and just explaining the white privilege. And he
Speaker 1: said in that video, you know, whether white people admit
Speaker 1: it or not, they are raised to fear black people.
Speaker 1: When a black person comes around, or you go into
Speaker 1: a black neighborhood, lock your doors, you know. Um, so
Speaker 1: this is a top behavior. And and just like for
Speaker 1: the people, it's it's a it's a a top behavior
Speaker 1: too because you know, your parents always, you know, getting
Speaker 1: you prepared to how to on how to deal with
Speaker 1: the police, and you know how to act. And you
Speaker 1: know what I'm trying to say, no because listen, um,
Speaker 1: I remember my mom clean houses when I was when
Speaker 1: I was a younger kid, and I would go to
Speaker 1: go with her to clean houses. And of course when
Speaker 1: we were clean houses will be in rich uh Caucasian neighborhoods.
Speaker 1: And you know, I never forget. We parked on the
Speaker 1: side of the road one time and we were walking
Speaker 1: into the house with cleaning supplies and one of the
Speaker 1: neighbors called the police office. The police got there, my
Speaker 1: mom had to call the owner. She showed that she
Speaker 1: had the keys to the house, but the police officer
Speaker 1: went to leave until the owner came. I was in
Speaker 1: eighth grade and you know, I'm from West Palm Beach.
Speaker 1: I think we saw a post on ball alert with
Speaker 1: somebody from Wellington. We were actually in Wellington and that's
Speaker 1: a very nice area compared to where we were living in.
Speaker 1: And of course my mom didn't drive the best car,
Speaker 1: so you know, as soon as we parked on the
Speaker 1: side of the on the side of the street where
Speaker 1: the house was at and we were walking up, neighbor
Speaker 1: called police like who are these black You know, I'm
Speaker 1: I had braids because you know, I'm in eighth grade,
Speaker 1: so I had braids in my hair, and I'm I'm
Speaker 1: pretty sure they felt threatened. That's a perfect example what
Speaker 1: you're trying to say. Well, we are definitely happy that
Speaker 1: nothing happened to you all, that you guys are safe,
Speaker 1: because it's far too often. We know that it's the latter.
Speaker 1: We know that black people are targets no matter what
Speaker 1: they're doing. So it's time to see change. It's time
Speaker 1: to see reform, do what we have to do to
Speaker 1: make our communities feel safe again. And honestly, speaking about change,
Speaker 1: who would have thought that your pancakes might be a problem.
Speaker 1: That's your pancakes and your syrup might be a problem. Okay,
Speaker 1: shout out to a young lady singer actually by the
Speaker 1: name of Kirby. She's single handedly, single handedly got on Jemima,
Speaker 1: the company that that produces on Jima Quaker oats to
Speaker 1: change the imaging and the name. She educated me on
Speaker 1: something I did not know that Jemima really comes. It's
Speaker 1: inspired from a stereotype obviously many you know, and I
Speaker 1: just didn't realize how deep and when of course, it's like,
Speaker 1: we're looking at this imaging all the time, but I
Speaker 1: don't even think that as black people, we let that register.
Speaker 1: But the way that she pointed it out and explained
Speaker 1: it in her TikTok video, I guess word got back
Speaker 1: to Quaker Oats and they are changing the imaging for sure.
Speaker 1: After one hundred and thirty one years, then Jemima name
Speaker 1: and image will be scrubbed from syrup bottles, pancake mixed
Speaker 1: packages because they are based off of, like you said,
Speaker 1: racial stereotypes. I haven't let downstairs in my kitchen. Are
Speaker 1: you what are you want to do about it? Now? Pancakes?
Speaker 1: Are you guys, pancakes? I feel you? I feel you?
Speaker 1: Are you going to continue to purchase Quaker Oats products
Speaker 1: because listen, it's they knew where that came from. Why
Speaker 1: did it take for a revolution for them to do that?
Speaker 1: And honestly, it's hella the pancake options, like, come on,
Speaker 1: black folks don't be taking no apologies and putting money
Speaker 1: right back into their pockets because honestly, they don't really care.
Speaker 1: They just don't want to lose any money. You know,
Speaker 1: you know it hurt me, man, go ahead. I know it,
Speaker 1: I know it hurt. Well. I was just gonna say,
Speaker 1: you know, with all that's going on and how everybody
Speaker 1: is being forced to look at race in this light,
Speaker 1: um you have, I'm glad that these corporations are taking
Speaker 1: accountability now, you know, better late than never. Although you
Speaker 1: know what we're supposed to say, thank you for something
Speaker 1: that you have, you should have been doing exactly you know,
Speaker 1: um yeah, what you want to say, Oh yeah, we
Speaker 1: appreciate it, thunk y'all right, But the way that we
Speaker 1: really stick it to them is don't spend no money
Speaker 1: on their products. I know, man, Damn, I got the
Speaker 1: whole set up at the house to y'all, it's okay.
Speaker 1: You you got a family, you're gonna run through it
Speaker 1: real quick, and then you're gonna buy your other options. Damn. Man. Well,
Speaker 1: hours after Quaker Oats made that announcement, another one, you're
Speaker 1: going another one. They're going to be changing the packaging
Speaker 1: for Uncle Ben's you know what, before y'all even start
Speaker 1: actually that Now that one, now it makes it's making sense.
Speaker 1: We got Aunt Jemima and then Uncle Ben. Uncle damn.
Speaker 1: I'm over here, I'm over here putting two and two
Speaker 1: together right now, like, wow, they've really even slick trying us.
Speaker 1: But you know what, I'm glad that all this, all
Speaker 1: this stuff is coming to light now. My biggest question
Speaker 1: is what about the Quaker What about the man on
Speaker 1: the um on the Quaker oats? No, no, not not
Speaker 1: the oatmeal, the cream of wheat on the cream. Let
Speaker 1: me out, trust me. Oh my god, oh my god,
Speaker 1: oh my god. I'm looking at it right now. I
Speaker 1: don't know. I saw I saw a me on Instagram
Speaker 1: that said you're next, and hey, we funding down the line. Listen.
Speaker 1: Who's okay? Listen what at a time? We are not
Speaker 1: here value our money right now? He looks. Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: looking at it, but I don't know. I got now.
Speaker 1: We gotta research this. We gotta research this, y'all song,
Speaker 1: and y'all says on the box. Yeah. But you know
Speaker 1: what I want to say to these companies, it's not
Speaker 1: enough for you to change the imaging and the name.
Speaker 1: I want to see you all get involved in the
Speaker 1: black communities, whether it is monthly community service adventures that
Speaker 1: your employs can get into, or financially contributing like you guys.
Speaker 1: It's not enough to just change the name. You got
Speaker 1: to prove that you are really down. What if the
Speaker 1: guy on the Quaker oats grits and the oatmeal, what
Speaker 1: if he what are the origins of him? He looks
Speaker 1: like the owner the planet, the plantation owner on that
Speaker 1: same you're making me looking at everything. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: the grids and the old man about Captain crunch, You
Speaker 1: got chill out out for that's the captain cutting. Oh
Speaker 1: hell no, he was one of the people driving the boat.
Speaker 1: Let me crush. Don't nobody eat that sugar it is
Speaker 1: I'm just talking all of these packaging um from from
Speaker 1: corn flakes. These all stem from way, way like years ago.
Speaker 1: So you never know the mindset of these companies. They're
Speaker 1: all Europeanized and you know, push that upon us and
Speaker 1: for them to unveil what you know, stereotypes that they
Speaker 1: piggybacked off of to brand their product. I could see
Speaker 1: more companies. I'm a forward. We cannot continue to be
Speaker 1: shocked when these companies that come from the eighteen hundreds
Speaker 1: or whenever it was that they that they were born
Speaker 1: that they're not racist. They absolutely are. But you know what,
Speaker 1: speaking of something that is shocking, people are kind of
Speaker 1: tripping to Deja Harris's reaction. If you watch t I
Speaker 1: Family Hustle the latest episode, then you got to see
Speaker 1: what Deja's reaction was. Back when t I revealed that
Speaker 1: he um he goes to the gynecologists with her to
Speaker 1: make sure that she is intact, basically to make sure
Speaker 1: his baby girl is not sexually active. So obviously we
Speaker 1: knew that she was embarrassed, you know. We we knew
Speaker 1: that she deactivated her social media, she kind of went
Speaker 1: goes for a little bit. But this was where we
Speaker 1: actually got to physically see her reaction. And some people
Speaker 1: feel like she might be a little harsh on t
Speaker 1: I because at one at one point she actually said
Speaker 1: that she'll be a better parent, you know, not to
Speaker 1: say that he is a bad parent, but she just
Speaker 1: felt like she would be a little more empathetic and
Speaker 1: respectful of her children's privacy. And I can understand that
Speaker 1: I can relate as a woman. I would be completely embarrassed,
Speaker 1: could not my face if my father told the world
Speaker 1: about me like that, let alone on that platform, you know,
Speaker 1: UM as a father of a teenager with now I
Speaker 1: see when I wake up in the morning, I just
Speaker 1: realized that by the last month she got boobs now
Speaker 1: and it bothers me a little bit, but I don't
Speaker 1: necessarily and my and my teenager is actually super private,
Speaker 1: so she don't really like attention like that. So I
Speaker 1: can already imagine how, of course, growing up being TIA's
Speaker 1: daughter and being on TV for everyone to judge you,
Speaker 1: so I can kindred and teenagers. You know, once teenagers
Speaker 1: start becoming mature and you guys are you you? You
Speaker 1: ladies are females, so you will know this more than me.
Speaker 1: Once you get like sixteen, seventeen, eighteen, nineteen twenty, you
Speaker 1: kind of over here life bro a pops, You're not
Speaker 1: necessarily as cool as everybody think you. Hi, why are
Speaker 1: you talking about my business on TV social media? You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. I think he could have left
Speaker 1: that private. That's my big dog. But hey, I think
Speaker 1: you could have left that alone. That's true. And it's
Speaker 1: just like the old Kanye. Piece of the old Kanye said,
Speaker 1: and we made you from the Late Registration album come
Speaker 1: on feeling better. There's some head on a Sunday afternoon
Speaker 1: better than a check that says yes too soon until
Speaker 1: you have a daughter. That's what I call calmen and
Speaker 1: you pray the guy she don't grow breast too soon.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, well my my, my seventeen, my soon to
Speaker 1: be seventeen year old breasts are here. They're they're definitely here,
Speaker 1: and I don't like it. The double standard has to stop,
Speaker 1: you know. I feel like we're in an age now
Speaker 1: where people who wanted to ignore or could not understand
Speaker 1: systematic racism or racism period are starting to open their
Speaker 1: eyes to it. And now I feel like we have
Speaker 1: other conversations to have right for centuries, for since the
Speaker 1: beginning of time, men have always talked about women's bodies,
Speaker 1: what they should do, what they should look like, how
Speaker 1: they should be and listen, it is not your place
Speaker 1: to talk about this young woman's body, no matter what
Speaker 1: stage she's in. I understand you know. This may be
Speaker 1: your child, this may be a family member, a niece.
Speaker 1: But I promise you there is not a single young
Speaker 1: woman in the world who is truly okay with her
Speaker 1: body being talked about. They're still trying to understand their
Speaker 1: body at that age themselves. So to have to go
Speaker 1: on social media and read all these comments and then
Speaker 1: also here other men chiming in, Oh yeah, I would
Speaker 1: do that with daughter too. I mean, she she better
Speaker 1: be a virgin. She too young. But then you turn
Speaker 1: around and you hear fathers having conversations with their kids
Speaker 1: about being baby daddy's or you have a situation like
Speaker 1: Little Boosey where he went and got a woman to
Speaker 1: service his young kids and his nephews. Like, the double
Speaker 1: standard is so extreme it just does not make sense.
Speaker 1: So please leave these young women alone. If they have
Speaker 1: a mother, let the mother deal with that. If they
Speaker 1: have aunts, let the aunt deal with that. Certain things
Speaker 1: should be private, you know. Yeah, And if they don't
Speaker 1: have female figures in their life and you have to
Speaker 1: be that as a father, then I applaud you for
Speaker 1: being that, But please understand the boundaries and give her
Speaker 1: the respect to talk to her about what those boundaries
Speaker 1: may be. Because don't just don't assume that she'll be
Speaker 1: okay with it. Don't assume that these girls are okay
Speaker 1: and she was just mortified to even have a conversation
Speaker 1: about it with her dad. You know, that alone says
Speaker 1: a lot. I'm pretty sure, like the conversation at if
Speaker 1: it was more of a private conversation versus it going
Speaker 1: viral or whatever, we called it, and it's just you know,
Speaker 1: it's just embarrassing. You know, just as a kid, I
Speaker 1: can kind of I would set be embarrassed. That's embarrassing,
Speaker 1: so you know, and just as a father, you you
Speaker 1: don't want to embarrass your kid. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: we don't know what's going on. We kind of see
Speaker 1: bits and pieces. Well we see the majority of it.
Speaker 1: I ain't gonna lie, but I mean, I couldn't imagine
Speaker 1: being a celebrities child. Being a normal person is already enough.
Speaker 1: It's already a lot of being a celebrities child is
Speaker 1: completely different. So I guess we can go ahead and
Speaker 1: get into this. Yeah, right, well, let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: get into this Rick Ross situation since we're talking about kids.
Speaker 1: So Brianna Camille and Miami rapper Rick Ross, they've been
Speaker 1: going back and forth in a custody battle regarding their
Speaker 1: two children. And keep in mind she is currently agnant.
Speaker 1: There's a third child on the way. They got two
Speaker 1: kids together and then she got pregnant with him. Was
Speaker 1: well listen, she is his former living girlfriend. You know,
Speaker 1: they were in a real relationship, and last month Brianna
Speaker 1: actually said it was documented in court papers that she
Speaker 1: has no problem, you know, granting ross any parenting time
Speaker 1: like he she wants him to have time with his kids,
Speaker 1: but she wants him to test negative for COVID nineteen
Speaker 1: because she said that he's been traveling and because of
Speaker 1: her current pregnancy, it means that she's at a higher
Speaker 1: risk of complications. Some people say she's tripping. Some people
Speaker 1: think he's tripping because he's saying that the virus is
Speaker 1: a non factor. It doesn't matter. He thinks that she
Speaker 1: just wants to keep him from from seeing his kids.
Speaker 1: Where she's just like, listen, just take the test. If
Speaker 1: it says you're negative, you can come get them right now.
Speaker 1: It just sounds like a o they're protecting her kids. Okay, guys, listen,
Speaker 1: you know what I think. It sounds like a pregnant
Speaker 1: lady being extra number one, number two. How the hell
Speaker 1: did you get pregnant anyway? Okay, was you worried about
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen, then was you worried about COVID team, then
Speaker 1: when y'all y'all was not even together, you got pregnant.
Speaker 1: And then now you know that went together when she
Speaker 1: got pregnant because they weren't How do you know, were
Speaker 1: they quarantining together? I don't know. Do you know that?
Speaker 1: We don't know, That's what I'm saying. And she want that, Well,
Speaker 1: he don't got COVID nineteen, but you said he that's that.
Speaker 1: That was his living girlfriend, right, Yes, they lived, so
Speaker 1: they had for the first for the first two kids.
Speaker 1: I thought they only had one together. No, they have
Speaker 1: two children, and they they've been shocking pregnant and she's
Speaker 1: all the way pregnant. So she got three months she
Speaker 1: got pregnant. She got pregn it with the breakup sex
Speaker 1: and lett y'all know she had she got pregnant with
Speaker 1: breakup sext the beginning of fourteen. We're like almost six
Speaker 1: months in. If that's the case, they got pregnant, okay,
Speaker 1: because they did it together. And the reality is, listen,
Speaker 1: cod's emotionally unstable because she's pregnant. I get it. And
Speaker 1: she wants him to take a COVID nineteen tests across.
Speaker 1: Just take the test, bro, and just test negative and
Speaker 1: then go over there. That's it, because what if he
Speaker 1: actually has it? What if he's asymptomatic and the kids
Speaker 1: get it? Now, what everybody's gonna be like, Oh, oh,
Speaker 1: he should have took the test. Like the mama said,
Speaker 1: she's pregnant. She don't want to, she don't want her
Speaker 1: kids to get sick. You don't want the new and
Speaker 1: she's elevatedly emotionally extra and the fair sir, take the
Speaker 1: damn test and go to your kids. Want to take
Speaker 1: the test? Man, what are you gonna listen if he
Speaker 1: took the test when when the conversation first came up,
Speaker 1: he would have been with his kids. But that thing
Speaker 1: all over your nose, man, that ship don't even look comfortable,
Speaker 1: look like it hurts. It's up your But what's worse
Speaker 1: that are getting your kids sick? Come on now, because
Speaker 1: y'all know even y'all know eve been traveling or getting
Speaker 1: um colonoscopy. I hope by the time it's time for
Speaker 1: me to take that they have a research. They have
Speaker 1: a new way in doing it where they just think,
Speaker 1: like something in my ear or some ship. Man, that's
Speaker 1: gonna be the worst day of my life. Well, I
Speaker 1: want to know who do y'all think is tripping? Do
Speaker 1: you think Rick Ross is tripping for refusing to take
Speaker 1: a COVID nineteen test, or do you think Brianna Camille
Speaker 1: his baby mama is tripping for asking him to take
Speaker 1: one before seeing his kids. I think Brianna Camille is
Speaker 1: tripping on. Want me to tell your why because I
Speaker 1: think deep down she knows Rick Ross does not have
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen and she's just being extra. But I could
Speaker 1: be wrong know that. How do I think it's between
Speaker 1: them two? I think them to know they know like
Speaker 1: she know was. But I think she's just challenging him, like, Yo,
Speaker 1: you need to take the test. You've been going out
Speaker 1: and doing too much stuff. What do you think O
Speaker 1: c T. I think we're giving this too much energy. Okay,
Speaker 1: take the test. That's it. Just take the tests. Are like,
Speaker 1: don't try to make it seem like she's being evil.
Speaker 1: Just take the damn test. COVID is really out here. Okay.
Speaker 1: I'm not saying this as crazy as they're saying it is,
Speaker 1: but just don't don't risk putting the kids in harm's way.
Speaker 1: Even even Ferrari, even Ferrai Simmons gotta change his clothes
Speaker 1: and take a shower when he gets home before he
Speaker 1: could interact and take all my clothes off and walking
Speaker 1: out straws on and go straight to the shower. Woman's
Speaker 1: mind and take the test. Okay that your baby mother
Speaker 1: the mother of your child. All right, well we're gonna
Speaker 1: move on from that because clearly we're just giving that
Speaker 1: a little too much. Moving on, the Netflix CEO and
Speaker 1: his wife donate a hundred and twenty million dollars to
Speaker 1: historically black colleges. I hope it doesn't go to, you know,
Speaker 1: the top five colleges. I hope it goes to the
Speaker 1: ones that are bottom ranked, because they definitely need the funds.
Speaker 1: I think a number one is Spellman. I believe Spellman
Speaker 1: is the number one HBCU in the country. I think
Speaker 1: the top five HBCUs are really well funded for the
Speaker 1: most part. I hope that it goes towards I hope
Speaker 1: it goes from the bottom up. If that makes sense. Well,
Speaker 1: let's just say that. On Wednesday, more House College announced
Speaker 1: it had received forty million dollars from Patty Equivalent. I
Speaker 1: believe it's her name and read Hasting. It is the
Speaker 1: largest single donation in more Houses one and forty two
Speaker 1: year history. Oh, I have to interrupt you all. It
Speaker 1: is a high school athlete, mikey Um. He is a
Speaker 1: highly highly recruited UM upcoming senior and he's thinking about
Speaker 1: taking his talent to an HBCU think and that's how
Speaker 1: you bring it home. Actually talked about that on a
Speaker 1: previous episode of The Ball Alert Show. I think that
Speaker 1: that was I think that would be super dope. If
Speaker 1: he does, it forces the dollars to come to the
Speaker 1: HBCUs because they will spend their money with us. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like imagine Lebron James taking do a one year in
Speaker 1: college at the HBCUs. Oh my gosh. Well, they also
Speaker 1: donated million dollars each to Spellman College and the unscf
Speaker 1: UM and we're excited about that. I'd love to see
Speaker 1: this energy going to the black communities. They feel that
Speaker 1: they were blessed to have great, great education and they
Speaker 1: wanted to share that with some members of the black community.
Speaker 1: So it looks like they are looking to more house
Speaker 1: that is is going to pay tuition for some people.
Speaker 1: They're going to be some graduates that get to walk
Speaker 1: away debt free, and I'm hoping that in the future
Speaker 1: they turn around and bring that some of that love
Speaker 1: back to the community as well. Who's celebrating Juneteenth out
Speaker 1: here for sure? Speaking of black Love Friday, June teenth,
Speaker 1: um is upon us and just a few corporations that
Speaker 1: are recognizing this holiday um as a holiday. Actually this
Speaker 1: year is Target also Nike, fifth Ord Bank, Quicken Loans, Twitter, Square, Lift, Adobe,
Speaker 1: the New York Times, Postmates, Google, just to name a few,
Speaker 1: and the NFL the commissioner Roger Goodell. But he just
Speaker 1: won't quit. Why I noticed, you know, with all these
Speaker 1: companies that are finally recognizing Junetee, that's a paid national holiday,
Speaker 1: giving these people off, a lot of them are. Um.
Speaker 1: I'm seeing that they're saying that the country is experiencing
Speaker 1: this sort of trauma right now and it's not new,
Speaker 1: but it's not enough. But we'll take it with the
Speaker 1: in light of everything, we want to recognize Juneteenth. And
Speaker 1: it's just like, okay, it's a trend, but let's see
Speaker 1: what they do moving forward. Let's see what they do
Speaker 1: moving accountable. So I wants I think every African American
Speaker 1: person should get a hundred and fifty thou dollar check.
Speaker 1: That's nothing. But this is just part one. This is
Speaker 1: just part one. Hey, guys, just send out a real
Speaker 1: stimulus to to the African American community. You want us
Speaker 1: to figure out how to buy our own block back
Speaker 1: reparations community can look a few different ways. Black people
Speaker 1: should have lower interest rates on loans, We should be
Speaker 1: able to purchase homes at lower rates. Like there should
Speaker 1: be financial um relief in a lot of different things
Speaker 1: when it comes to the African American community. Because if
Speaker 1: America wants to keep crying that they cannot afford to
Speaker 1: give us the reparations that we so desperately deserve, then
Speaker 1: help us out in other ways. Make other things accessible
Speaker 1: to us. But please know the reparations are coming. We're
Speaker 1: gonna keep demanding that. Are you guys happy with the
Speaker 1: acknowledgement than Juneteenth is getting right now? But I think
Speaker 1: it's I think it's a start. I think everything that's
Speaker 1: happening right now is a start, and I'm cool with that.
Speaker 1: And I think on Juneteenth to like, that's our fourth
Speaker 1: of July. But I feel like it should be recognized
Speaker 1: as such, just like the Irish kid there holiday on St.
Speaker 1: Patrick's Day, just like we coming coming. It's like to
Speaker 1: go to Mayo gets their day. You know, I feel
Speaker 1: like we should be you know, June teams should be
Speaker 1: established like that. And I feel like a lot of
Speaker 1: these especially these corporations who are recognizing and it should
Speaker 1: do something in the black community on this day. I
Speaker 1: think it's something. I think it's coming. I think now
Speaker 1: corporations are paying attention. I think it's kind of like
Speaker 1: a worldwide like actually worldwide. It's like, oh wow, we're listening.
Speaker 1: We're sorry, we're listening, but now they're actually listening, and
Speaker 1: so we need action. I don't want I don't even
Speaker 1: want to talk about this ship no more. Let's see
Speaker 1: the action. So June teenth cool, I'm telling you all, man,
Speaker 1: each African American should get a huntred in fifty k,
Speaker 1: just for starters, just like how they're doing June teeent
Speaker 1: and a that. Yeah, just send us all a hunt in.
Speaker 1: We need that. Come on, everybody should get a UF
Speaker 1: That's just a start, but is well on the hunting
Speaker 1: is well on the way. And make sure make sure
Speaker 1: you keep right here because Valla bell is coming up
Speaker 1: next right right. All right, that's it in case you
Speaker 1: missed it, And now it's time for a word from
Speaker 1: our sponsors. You're you're listening to message. I actually got
Speaker 1: this one this morning, y'all. This was hot off the press. Um.
Speaker 1: I think it's funny, but you guys may not here
Speaker 1: we go, dearI I think my husband has a monthly period.
Speaker 1: Every month he completely makes up an argument and storms
Speaker 1: out of the house and I don't see him until
Speaker 1: the next day. What man creates an argument and leaves
Speaker 1: for one to two days and goes to his mama's house.
Speaker 1: And before y'all think he say he's cheating. I have
Speaker 1: his location on his phone, so I know he's over there. Plus, well,
Speaker 1: he gonna drop his phone off over there, didn't leave.
Speaker 1: Plus his mom is always in the middle of our arguments.
Speaker 1: What do I do about my man? Slash woman? I
Speaker 1: live with wow girl. His mama has a woman that
Speaker 1: she would rather her son be with. So when he
Speaker 1: leaves for those one or two days, that woman is
Speaker 1: at his mama house and they got a whole little
Speaker 1: fake relationship situation going on to make his mama happy.
Speaker 1: His mama is in the ships. Uh, Like I said,
Speaker 1: he gonna go with his mama house, drop his phone off,
Speaker 1: and then go to where he really going to. He
Speaker 1: gonna come back, get his phone, and he's gonna go
Speaker 1: back home. Yeah, Doc underscore SKK said, he leaves his
Speaker 1: phone at his mama house. Pull up, pull up on him.
Speaker 1: That works every time. Oh so they agreed, right, yeah,
Speaker 1: got again? She said, well, she picking him up at
Speaker 1: his mama's house, and he leaves his phone at his mama.
Speaker 1: So at his mama, so you can keep thinking he
Speaker 1: at his mama house. I'm trying to tell baby J
Speaker 1: wants that either he's leaving his phone at his mom's
Speaker 1: house or his mom is the other bitch my gosh. Okay,
Speaker 1: this is a deep one. The m the the motherfucking editor. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's the m F and editor. If a man is
Speaker 1: holding you emotionally hostage, or or if his emotions are
Speaker 1: taking up all your space of your relationship, that you
Speaker 1: you find yourself not even being able to emote your
Speaker 1: femininity because he's hoarding all emotional labor. That all, if
Speaker 1: he's holding all the emotional labor, then let him go.
Speaker 1: It's unsafe for your mental and you deserve a grown
Speaker 1: man that uses his words, not a little girl man
Speaker 1: that treats his mother like the other woman. That ship
Speaker 1: is weird. Who has who has all that time? Okay
Speaker 1: for him? Well, Pory, what do you think? What's your advice?
Speaker 1: I think yeah, I think his mom is in on it.
Speaker 1: I think he goes over there, he leaves the phone
Speaker 1: with his mom, and I think maybe even his mom
Speaker 1: is the person arguing back and forth for her while
Speaker 1: his while her son goes out and do his dirt
Speaker 1: and then come back, don't come back because and then
Speaker 1: you as a woman, just letting your man leave for
Speaker 1: two days, one to two days. I wish I would
Speaker 1: leave my house girl, tunisia, Tunisia, change the locks up
Speaker 1: in this thing. And she would be like, that'd be
Speaker 1: last time you leave this house. You you can't come back,
Speaker 1: And she says this happens often, So I ain't feeling
Speaker 1: that I would go with him, open to them, where
Speaker 1: are we going? All right? Argue over there? Yes, yes,
Speaker 1: cooking tonight, right, I'll be there. Yeah. So yeah, I think, um,
Speaker 1: I think you need y'all need to I wouldn't even
Speaker 1: recommend counsel. I think y'all need to go here and
Speaker 1: go y'all separate ways because that's toxic both. I agree.
Speaker 1: I ain't doing nothing. And now it's time from a
Speaker 1: word from our sponsors. And now it's type of common creeping.
Speaker 1: Now y'all know I'd never do stuff like this. I
Speaker 1: never really be and drama like this, but two people
Speaker 1: that I know. One I'm super cool with it's like
Speaker 1: a brother to me, and the other one I'm I've
Speaker 1: been a part of his um beginning, part of the
Speaker 1: stages of him being an artist. So why ko Cyrus
Speaker 1: shoots his shot at uh wife and Lucci's ex girlfriend. Okay, Regina, Um,
Speaker 1: please play the audio. Come on, just give me a chance.
Speaker 1: I'm not like these other rappers. I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: give you the world. Leave me on head please. I

Speaker 1: shot ain't none, it's a brick. M m m. That's
Speaker 1: my wife, and Luci said basically, would you know him?
Speaker 1: And uh you know? Um they're talking now. I don't
Speaker 1: think no, no, no, I don't think that they're talking
Speaker 1: like in their relationship. I think that's fine. They could
Speaker 1: be cool. You don't have nothing to do with with
Speaker 1: her next relationship or the next person that wants to
Speaker 1: talk to her. Just being protective of it. You know. No,
Speaker 1: I think the P word that you're looking for is possessive.
Speaker 1: I mean it's a difference between protective and possessive. That
Speaker 1: man is not out possessive. He ain't looking out for
Speaker 1: her in that type of way. Okay, I'm done, but yo,
