1 00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:03,239 Speaker 1: I listened to the Black Guy Who Tips podcast because 2 00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,120 Speaker 1: Rod and Karen are hot. 3 00:00:05,440 --> 00:00:08,080 Speaker 2: The final thing that got me was the vaguely insulting 4 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:12,320 Speaker 2: way that rising Tide rhetoric addresses the masses of whites. 5 00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,720 Speaker 2: The presumption that they had for centuries acted against their 6 00:00:16,760 --> 00:00:19,840 Speaker 2: interest struck me as saying that these whites had been, 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:23,200 Speaker 2: for generations so gullible as to be fooled by a 8 00:00:23,239 --> 00:00:27,240 Speaker 2: prejudice that paid no dividends. When rich Hollywood actors supported 9 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,000 Speaker 2: higher taxes, no one criticized them for acting against their interests, 10 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,280 Speaker 2: presumably because paying higher taxes aligns with those wealthy actors' 11 00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:37,159 Speaker 2: visions of the world as they would like it to be. 12 00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 2: Could it also be true that the masses of poorer 13 00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 2: whites might support lowering those same taxes for the rich 14 00:00:44,400 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 2: in response to a different vision of the world. What 15 00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: if it was true that the masses of white Americans 16 00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:51,960 Speaker 2: had not been fooled at all, but that a critical 17 00:00:52,040 --> 00:00:54,760 Speaker 2: mass of them had simply identified with the set of 18 00:00:55,080 --> 00:00:59,720 Speaker 2: interest that were not purely economic, and so powerful they 19 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 2: owe all the class interest that liberals and leftists presumed 20 00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 2: should be broadly shared.

But I do 315 00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:26,360 Speaker 2: have an app that kind of guts my water drinking 316 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,600 Speaker 2: and lets me know what my goal is for today 317 00:16:29,240 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 2: and if I'm drinking enough and if I'm keeping up 318 00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,200 Speaker 2: to it. And I've been doing pretty good on that, 319 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:37,760 Speaker 2: you know.

And for me, we got well, I well, 322 00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: we both got new water bottles, but I got a 323 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: water bottle that actually lights up. Well, yours light up. 324 00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 1: Mine actually has a heart, and it has the app 325 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,600 Speaker 1: and it's almost like you're I'm the type of person 326 00:16:56,640 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: with I'm not that funny. Everybody likes to Ward. So 327 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: I like the fact that them you get rewards for 328 00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,960 Speaker 1: hitting your goals and drinking enough water and shit like that. 329 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,040 Speaker 1: And my bottle actually tells you the temperature of the water. 330 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 1: It actually you know, vibrates and shit like that. And so, 331 00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 1: you know, a regular water bottle, which is fine. A 332 00:17:16,960 --> 00:17:19,240 Speaker 1: lot of people can do that. And you know, say whatever, 333 00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:22,080 Speaker 1: the calculation is your wait times this equal how much 334 00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,560 Speaker 1: what are you supposed to drink? But you know, sometimes 335 00:17:24,560 --> 00:17:27,000 Speaker 1: I need a little assistance because you know, water is 336 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,720 Speaker 1: something that for a lot of people they just don't 337 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: drink enough. But your body is primarily water like, it's 338 00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: something that you need. People wonder, you know, why their 339 00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: face breaks out and their skin breaks out a lot 340 00:17:38,640 --> 00:17:40,600 Speaker 1: of times if you just drink water, a lot of 341 00:17:40,600 --> 00:17:43,359 Speaker 1: times that shit will cease and desist. Not always, but 342 00:17:43,400 --> 00:17:45,280 Speaker 1: a lot of times it will come. A lot of 343 00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:47,840 Speaker 1: the break aus. Why is my hair so dry? Water? 344 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:51,360 Speaker 1: You know, little simple stuff, skin dry water. Water will 345 00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: actually correct a lot of problems that people have internally. 346 00:17:55,880 --> 00:17:56,840 Speaker 1: Water will fix that. 347 00:17:57,720 --> 00:18:01,960 Speaker 2: Yeah. Also for me, my app tracks my fitbit, so 348 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:05,280 Speaker 2: if I go play basketball, it raises the thing like, okay, 349 00:18:05,280 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 2: you need to drink a little more water. 350 00:18:06,600 --> 00:18:09,840 Speaker 3: It also accounts for the temperature locally, so if. 351 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,640 Speaker 2: It's ninety degrees outside, it may raise up how much 352 00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:15,400 Speaker 2: you need to drink for today to stay hydrated. And 353 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:18,080 Speaker 2: I didn't even notice this until a few weeks ago. 354 00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:20,359 Speaker 2: But ever since I got the water bottle on the 355 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:25,080 Speaker 2: app and I started doing it, I don't cramp up anymore. 356 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:27,960 Speaker 2: I used to play basketball sometimes and I just get 357 00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 2: like a Gatorade thirty two hours gatorade or something. Pound 358 00:18:32,119 --> 00:18:33,960 Speaker 2: that bad boy. You know how it is, bro, You 359 00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. You know how we do. You 360 00:18:36,280 --> 00:18:38,919 Speaker 2: pound out one of those one of those gatorades, and 361 00:18:38,960 --> 00:18:43,679 Speaker 2: then I would be like, wait a minute, I'm still 362 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 2: getting cramped. So I'm getting I get a cramp in 363 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:47,879 Speaker 2: my stomach or a cramp in my back, or cramping 364 00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,760 Speaker 2: my legs in the middle of the night or something. 365 00:18:50,240 --> 00:18:52,560 Speaker 2: But I haven't had any of that. 366 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 1: So since then, people underestimate the power of just flat, 367 00:18:56,880 --> 00:19:01,480 Speaker 1: regular water, like no fruits and vegetables mix, just regular normal, 368 00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,959 Speaker 1: just h two oh, Because there's nothing wrong with that 369 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 1: other stuff, and if that helps you drink water, so 370 00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: be it. But once you start adding these things, you 371 00:19:07,600 --> 00:19:10,520 Speaker 1: actually changed the composition of H two. It's no longer 372 00:19:10,640 --> 00:19:13,040 Speaker 1: H two oh anymore. It's H two oh plus other things. 373 00:19:13,280 --> 00:19:15,840 Speaker 2: Well even I mean I've read up on that too, 374 00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,000 Speaker 2: And a lot of stuff that people would say is 375 00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 2: like like there's some things that aren't that bad that 376 00:19:21,160 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 2: aren't water. Like tea is not water technically, but you 377 00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:27,440 Speaker 2: can count it almost as water. I'm not talking sweet tea. 378 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:30,439 Speaker 2: I'm talking about tea yeah hot. But even stuff like 379 00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:33,320 Speaker 2: coffee is underestimated for it. Like there's water. There's a 380 00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:35,639 Speaker 2: lot of water in coffee. It doesn't just become not 381 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:40,119 Speaker 2: water anymore, but that you still can't beat water. And 382 00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 2: if you're drinking enough, if you're drinking water and you 383 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:48,719 Speaker 2: happen to have a cup of coffee, it's not like, 384 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 2: oh my god, you just ruined all the water, you 385 00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,800 Speaker 2: know what I'm saying. And I think that's a way 386 00:19:52,840 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 2: that a lot of people would feel. I know I 387 00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:56,640 Speaker 2: used to feel that way, and it's like I would 388 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,160 Speaker 2: give up. I'd be like, well, I drink a solda, 389 00:19:58,280 --> 00:20:00,320 Speaker 2: so fuck it. You know, It's like no, you can 390 00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 2: still there's still like one hundred ounces or whatever you 391 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,600 Speaker 2: have to go that can be water. So anyway, the 392 00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,400 Speaker 2: answers were forty seven percent said yes, they have drink 393 00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,879 Speaker 2: enough water today, thirty four percent said no, and nineteen 394 00:20:14,920 --> 00:20:16,520 Speaker 2: percent say I don't know how much enough is. 395 00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:18,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, that's how I was. I was like, how much 396 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,320 Speaker 1: is enough? You put a lot of these apps. You 397 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:22,840 Speaker 1: put in your weight, you put in your height and 398 00:20:22,840 --> 00:20:25,720 Speaker 1: stuff like that, and it'd be like it calculates out, Okay, 399 00:20:25,760 --> 00:20:27,600 Speaker 1: this is how much water you should drink your exercise 400 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,600 Speaker 1: Like right, I said, it goes up you run and 401 00:20:30,080 --> 00:20:32,879 Speaker 1: shit like that, the amount of water content goes up. 402 00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:36,439 Speaker 1: And before we move on, Yeah, y'all understand what you're 403 00:20:36,440 --> 00:20:38,280 Speaker 1: saying about these other things. They do contain water in, 404 00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,080 Speaker 1: which is good. But I think a lot of people 405 00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:42,919 Speaker 1: use these other things as the substitute for just flat water. 406 00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:45,320 Speaker 1: And that's why I was saying, it's okay to drink 407 00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:47,720 Speaker 1: these other stuff, but you've got to drink water in 408 00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,000 Speaker 1: In addition, Yeah, a lot of people go, when I'm 409 00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:52,480 Speaker 1: drinking water, no, you're drinking actually a small percentage of 410 00:20:52,520 --> 00:20:54,919 Speaker 1: actual water. You're drinking water plus these other things. 411 00:20:55,200 --> 00:20:57,159 Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess. Yeah. I don't want to get into 412 00:20:57,160 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 2: a technical thing, so yep, I agree, Ama says, well, 413 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 2: today I definitely didn't drink enough water. Most days I do, 414 00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 2: but I read and study a few I read a 415 00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,040 Speaker 2: study a few years back to said Americans are perpetually dehydrated. 416 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,800 Speaker 2: I try to remind myself of that when encouraging myself 417 00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:12,960 Speaker 2: in pregnant clients to drink more water. I also stop 418 00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:16,959 Speaker 2: buying fruit juices. Yeah. And then another thing too, like 419 00:21:17,520 --> 00:21:21,119 Speaker 2: my eyes sometimes get dry because I'm looking at the 420 00:21:21,160 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 2: screen all day when I'm working, and you know, obviously 421 00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,080 Speaker 2: just looking at the screen for all kinds of shit. 422 00:21:27,119 --> 00:21:29,160 Speaker 2: You're on your laptop, you're on your phone, you're looking 423 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:34,080 Speaker 2: at a four K TV or whatever, and they don't 424 00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:38,320 Speaker 2: get as dry as much. They still do get dry sometimes, 425 00:21:38,320 --> 00:21:41,280 Speaker 2: but not as much. Phil G says, I'll be drinking, 426 00:21:41,320 --> 00:21:43,679 Speaker 2: but soon as I get one different beverage and my 427 00:21:43,840 --> 00:21:45,919 Speaker 2: urine gets darker, I pick up three to four glasses 428 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:47,040 Speaker 2: to flesh out my system. 429 00:21:47,240 --> 00:21:49,600 Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, I had to. But I was at the doctor. 430 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,640 Speaker 1: The doctor was like, uh, yeah, your your peace shouldn't 431 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:56,960 Speaker 1: be the color of yellow crayon and it should not 432 00:21:57,000 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 1: have a odor. 433 00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:00,879 Speaker 2: What they said, they said, your people smelling like they 434 00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:02,639 Speaker 2: said your peep was dark yelds. 435 00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,480 Speaker 1: Yeah, at one point out because I was drinking the water, 436 00:22:04,520 --> 00:22:06,919 Speaker 1: so my pea was yellow and it did have an 437 00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,760 Speaker 1: older And a lot of people think that shit is 438 00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 1: normal and it's not. You know, actually, when you're in 439 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,080 Speaker 1: your urine, it is supposed to be almost crystal clear, 440 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,280 Speaker 1: like really really light. That's how you know you're actually hydrated. 441 00:22:16,320 --> 00:22:18,800 Speaker 1: Like a lot of people just get customed to ping 442 00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:20,760 Speaker 1: and and it's not a heavy older and a lot 443 00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,800 Speaker 1: of times are really light older. Most people don't even 444 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: just start customed to it. They don't even realize that 445 00:22:24,600 --> 00:22:26,480 Speaker 1: urine has older. And like I said, they should not 446 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,639 Speaker 1: look orange and yellow when all these other colors. It 447 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:29,840 Speaker 1: should almost be clear. 448 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 2: Cool. Next episode nineteen seventy four black Face Championship contender. 449 00:22:38,560 --> 00:22:42,159 Speaker 2: I put the picture on our Facebook page. Something dudees 450 00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:45,720 Speaker 2: like that ain't no good black face, and I was like, okay, 451 00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:49,679 Speaker 2: sad Emloji, some people don't know how to have jokes, guys, 452 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,879 Speaker 2: and says. The Real ID program will started under Bush 453 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,400 Speaker 2: and will be required for any air travel, including domestic. 454 00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 3: The deadline is October first, twenty twenty. 455 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:05,360 Speaker 2: Also, the puppet addiction story upsets me a little because 456 00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:07,800 Speaker 2: I since they have a goal to reframe addiction as 457 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:10,520 Speaker 2: a disease instead of a character flaw. I don't believe 458 00:23:10,560 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: they would have done this that the majority of the 459 00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,639 Speaker 2: addicts with non white people. I hear you in you 460 00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:16,639 Speaker 2: ain't you ain't lying? 461 00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,000 Speaker 1: Mm hmm souse with us as a character flaw? Something 462 00:23:19,040 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: something just wrong? 463 00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:25,879 Speaker 2: Would you stay woke? Jannika says regarding Marilyn Moseby. I 464 00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:28,680 Speaker 2: do appreciate most of her work, especially regarding Freddie Gray, 465 00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,760 Speaker 2: but she really dropped the ball regarding Keith Davis Junior's case. 466 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:34,359 Speaker 2: There's a lot of information regarding this case, including the 467 00:23:34,400 --> 00:23:37,000 Speaker 2: season of the podcast Undisclosed, so I won't go into 468 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,879 Speaker 2: all the details, but it's a really bad look. The 469 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,920 Speaker 2: Undisclosed coverage of this case was thorough, if anyone wants 470 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:45,440 Speaker 2: to check it out. Uh. Yeah, i'ven't heard of Undisclosed. 471 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 2: I know they had the thing with add on season 472 00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:50,320 Speaker 2: one or whatever. 473 00:23:51,440 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 1: I haven't since I haven't listened to the season one. 474 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:56,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't really listen to Undisclosed like that. I 475 00:23:56,119 --> 00:23:58,840 Speaker 2: didn't really like the adine when they did either. I 476 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:02,360 Speaker 2: thought that was still kind of They have a job 477 00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:04,800 Speaker 2: to do and their job is to be like this 478 00:24:04,840 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 2: person obviously didn't do it, and you know, or in 479 00:24:08,880 --> 00:24:11,320 Speaker 2: the state didn't make a case. So you know, if 480 00:24:11,359 --> 00:24:14,600 Speaker 2: that's if they're ever to do that, and that's what happened, cool, 481 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:18,080 Speaker 2: But I don't know. I don't necessarily go in for 482 00:24:18,280 --> 00:24:20,600 Speaker 2: I believe everything that they do over there. 483 00:24:21,080 --> 00:24:23,280 Speaker 1: Is on the up and up, you know, And I 484 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,400 Speaker 1: thought that actually producing the product too. 485 00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,879 Speaker 2: Right, And I think as a media content producer, I 486 00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,119 Speaker 2: definitely see it differently than most folks. So it's just 487 00:24:30,160 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 2: hard to even have these discussions because you know, people 488 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:34,879 Speaker 2: get caught up and rally and behind the calls and 489 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,359 Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm just looking at the creation of the media. 490 00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:41,119 Speaker 2: They leave certain shit out that would implicate the person, 491 00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 2: or they just throw enough doubt at every element of 492 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:47,639 Speaker 2: the case to where you just like, this must not 493 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 2: have happened. That's not to say that's what happened in 494 00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:51,280 Speaker 2: the second season. I'm saying I haven't even listened to 495 00:24:51,280 --> 00:24:54,640 Speaker 2: it because the first season was turned me off. So 496 00:24:55,440 --> 00:24:59,560 Speaker 2: but yeah, but I once again, I didn't say Marilynd 497 00:24:59,600 --> 00:25:04,200 Speaker 2: Mosey was perfect. I'm saying, look, the job is the job, 498 00:25:04,359 --> 00:25:06,879 Speaker 2: and so some of it is gonna be good, great, 499 00:25:07,080 --> 00:25:09,239 Speaker 2: and some of it's gonna be bad. Some of these 500 00:25:09,240 --> 00:25:11,359 Speaker 2: are gonna be tough choices, some of these things are 501 00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:15,000 Speaker 2: gonna be mistakes. All of it counts, but people want 502 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:17,760 Speaker 2: to stick to the bad and be like, fuck this person, 503 00:25:17,880 --> 00:25:21,080 Speaker 2: that's it. And I'm like, okay, so fuck her. So 504 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:24,440 Speaker 2: the eight hundred other cases, fuck them too. Non' nah, 505 00:25:24,760 --> 00:25:26,959 Speaker 2: Like you know what I'm saying. It's like the difference 506 00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,760 Speaker 2: between them having a bad mishandling of a case or job, 507 00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:33,359 Speaker 2: a day at work or whatever is someone's life is 508 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,760 Speaker 2: affected and that's the job. Unfortunately, it's like being president, 509 00:25:37,840 --> 00:25:41,000 Speaker 2: it's like whatever. But the idea that if someone makes 510 00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,959 Speaker 2: a mistake, we should abandon the entire occupancy of that 511 00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:51,479 Speaker 2: position just because they're not doing it perfect or they 512 00:25:51,480 --> 00:25:54,320 Speaker 2: weren't able to see the future or get every single 513 00:25:54,440 --> 00:25:58,080 Speaker 2: incident right, to me, that is ridiculous and it's not 514 00:25:58,119 --> 00:26:01,119 Speaker 2: a holistic view of the tie of complex and the 515 00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:04,480 Speaker 2: entire person, And that is some Twitter shit. That's what 516 00:26:04,560 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 2: I find so fucking off putting about the vitriol of 517 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,720 Speaker 2: our the way our current state of mind is set up. 518 00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,480 Speaker 2: The cultural white guys now is all like someone gets 519 00:26:16,480 --> 00:26:18,840 Speaker 2: a job, let's go find the one tweet from that 520 00:26:18,920 --> 00:26:24,160 Speaker 2: we don't agree with someone is you know it goes 521 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,000 Speaker 2: viral for something on TV or or something. Let's find 522 00:26:28,760 --> 00:26:31,400 Speaker 2: another time that they weren't on point, or the time 523 00:26:31,440 --> 00:26:34,959 Speaker 2: that they did fuck up. And I think that that's 524 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 2: that's like, where that comes from is such a bad 525 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 2: place inside of us, and none of us questions it 526 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 2: because we all have our faves and our least paves 527 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 2: and our people. We want to see these things happen to, 528 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:49,600 Speaker 2: bad things happen to and we stopped, We stopped questioning 529 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 2: is the impost even correct in the first place? To 530 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,720 Speaker 2: try to hold these people because what this is is 531 00:26:54,720 --> 00:26:57,040 Speaker 2: a power graph. We now have the power to be 532 00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,399 Speaker 2: like this moment happened. There's records that docum of it. 533 00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,840 Speaker 2: You fucked up. You did not get this right. Whatever 534 00:27:03,880 --> 00:27:06,840 Speaker 2: your intentions were, it doesn't matter to us. Fuck you, 535 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,000 Speaker 2: Fuck you forever, Fuck any good thing you do, Fuck 536 00:27:10,040 --> 00:27:14,360 Speaker 2: any systemic overhauls you do that help people, Fuck all 537 00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:17,080 Speaker 2: of it now. And I think that impost is bad. 538 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,399 Speaker 2: And that's what I talk about. And the last thing 539 00:27:19,440 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 2: I'll say, because it's gonna come up again because obviously 540 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,840 Speaker 2: I'm closed the very popular podcast. People wrote in about 541 00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:29,800 Speaker 2: it this week. Marilyn Moseby was getting hate. 542 00:27:29,560 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 1: Before that, and she was. 543 00:27:31,600 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 2: Getting hate immediately after. The Freddie Gray stuff happened before 544 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:40,439 Speaker 2: this Keith Davis Junior case. So I'm not even just 545 00:27:40,480 --> 00:27:43,120 Speaker 2: talking about stuff to happen a day. I'm saying immediately 546 00:27:43,160 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 2: I saw people. You know, I still remember my girl, 547 00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:50,159 Speaker 2: Goldie Taylor wrote a piece that was, you know, very 548 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:53,480 Speaker 2: harsh towards Marilyn Moseby, and that was right after the 549 00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,840 Speaker 2: like during the Freddy Gray stuff. It was like pretty 550 00:27:56,880 --> 00:28:00,280 Speaker 2: hard on her, and I was like, damn, like, what 551 00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:02,560 Speaker 2: does she do? You know what I'm saying, Like, is 552 00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:05,879 Speaker 2: it because she occupies this job? Like I'd rather have 553 00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,840 Speaker 2: her at that job than you know, the vast majority 554 00:28:09,880 --> 00:28:13,119 Speaker 2: of people at that job. And definitely then of course 555 00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 2: a bunch of fucking hard Like I'm just how you're 556 00:28:15,560 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 2: trying to get these black people locked up on the job. 557 00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:22,480 Speaker 3: But I don't think we're really ready to talk about. 558 00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:24,960 Speaker 2: These things in general. I mean, we talk about it 559 00:28:24,960 --> 00:28:29,040 Speaker 2: here at the Blackout Tists, but most people aren't educated enough, 560 00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:35,440 Speaker 2: they don't read enough, and they don't have enough. They're 561 00:28:35,480 --> 00:28:39,640 Speaker 2: not willing to take themselves out of the kind of 562 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:43,840 Speaker 2: echo chambers that they're around and really like talk about 563 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:48,440 Speaker 2: these things from a realistic perspective. We people in general 564 00:28:48,440 --> 00:28:51,120 Speaker 2: are a bunch of Daryl Morri's. We want to flash 565 00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,040 Speaker 2: up to retweet hashtag I stand with so and so this. 566 00:28:54,480 --> 00:28:56,720 Speaker 2: We want to do that part, but we don't want 567 00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:58,560 Speaker 2: to pay for it, and we don't want to talk 568 00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 2: about it. We don't want to educate ours us about it. 569 00:29:00,960 --> 00:29:02,920 Speaker 2: We don't want to actually have to give up anything 570 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:06,800 Speaker 2: for it, right. We just want to say that we're whoa. 571 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 2: We don't want to consider the whole problem and why 572 00:29:09,400 --> 00:29:11,360 Speaker 2: some of these issues have been around for centuries and 573 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,680 Speaker 2: not being solved. We don't want to talk about the 574 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 2: complicity of us in it. We want to pick a 575 00:29:17,040 --> 00:29:20,520 Speaker 2: person and demigod them, say that's the bad guy. 576 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,760 Speaker 3: I did my job, good night, and that's not good enough. 577 00:29:23,960 --> 00:29:26,440 Speaker 1: No, because that's actually the easy way out. I'm just 578 00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,280 Speaker 1: gonna keep it. Really, it's just the easy way to. 579 00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,280 Speaker 1: It's like a flash in the pan. You can do that, 580 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,760 Speaker 1: and then you can move on and you can separate yourself. 581 00:29:34,800 --> 00:29:37,080 Speaker 1: You can keep it living your life and keep living 582 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:40,320 Speaker 1: in the matrix. Because of the thing the matrix, we 583 00:29:40,400 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 1: all kind of live in it, and people wonder why 584 00:29:43,080 --> 00:29:45,600 Speaker 1: it's not broken and why the matrix won't change. A 585 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: lot of that is because nobody is actually willing, like 586 00:29:47,920 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: you said, to actually think and actually analyze shit, and 587 00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,320 Speaker 1: take themselves out and not make the situation about themselves 588 00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: and actually talk about the real nuances of the situation 589 00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,640 Speaker 1: and have empathy and sympathy, compassionate and understanding to the 590 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,520 Speaker 1: people that are directly affected by because that's the thing. 591 00:30:04,640 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: Everybody fucks up. Everybody does. But you know what happened 592 00:30:07,040 --> 00:30:08,840 Speaker 1: when you fuck up? You learn? You know what happened 593 00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:10,480 Speaker 1: when you fuck up most people should. You know what 594 00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:12,760 Speaker 1: happened when you fuck up. You evolve, You change, your 595 00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 1: perspectives change all of a sudden, you think about it, 596 00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:19,360 Speaker 1: and you wouldn't make that same decision. So now that 597 00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:22,040 Speaker 1: same person that fucked up a few years ago is 598 00:30:22,080 --> 00:30:24,440 Speaker 1: now turning around and late that eight hundred people. But 599 00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,400 Speaker 1: you know what, a fuck up sometimes had to happen 600 00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:28,160 Speaker 1: in order to get to that point, to make that, 601 00:30:28,280 --> 00:30:31,680 Speaker 1: to make that decision. But people go, fucking fucking fuck it. Okay, 602 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,480 Speaker 1: what about these family members that you know? What about 603 00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:37,840 Speaker 1: people that have been pleading and writing to senators and 604 00:30:37,840 --> 00:30:40,280 Speaker 1: governors and congressmen to get their family members back. What 605 00:30:40,320 --> 00:30:43,120 Speaker 1: about those people? Fuck them? Okay, people only care about 606 00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:44,720 Speaker 1: things when it don't directly impact them. 607 00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:47,800 Speaker 2: It's like they go, why aren't things going my way 608 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 2: one hundred percent of the time all the time? Right. 609 00:30:50,280 --> 00:30:54,160 Speaker 2: It's like even you, you human being, saying that you 610 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 2: aren't capable of operating in your best interests one hundred 611 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:58,960 Speaker 2: percent all the time, every time. 612 00:30:59,720 --> 00:30:59,840 Speaker 1: Right. 613 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,240 Speaker 2: No one is capable of that level. But we require 614 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,000 Speaker 2: that from people. And then when they fuck up, instead 615 00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000 Speaker 2: of being like, well, shit, they fucked that one up, 616 00:31:08,040 --> 00:31:09,920 Speaker 2: because see what, you're not gonna hear me say, because, 617 00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,000 Speaker 2: like I said, I'm not educated on this case. I'm 618 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,120 Speaker 2: not here being like Marion Mosey didn't fuck up. Fuck y'all, 619 00:31:15,120 --> 00:31:18,240 Speaker 2: that's my girl, Right, I'm saying, maybe she did fuck up. 620 00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,360 Speaker 2: I will concede to you. She fucked up, and she 621 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 2: also has done some great things in that job. That's 622 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:26,280 Speaker 2: the part that people hate to hear. 623 00:31:26,600 --> 00:31:29,080 Speaker 1: Right, Right, Because then you have to have the nuance 624 00:31:29,160 --> 00:31:31,280 Speaker 1: that a lot of times social media does not allow 625 00:31:31,320 --> 00:31:32,960 Speaker 1: you to do. And a lot of times people have 626 00:31:33,040 --> 00:31:39,240 Speaker 1: these strong and these very black and white scenarios own situations. 627 00:31:39,240 --> 00:31:41,600 Speaker 1: Like I said, they don't directly impact them, don't directly 628 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:43,760 Speaker 1: impact their family or their loved ones, because if the 629 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:45,800 Speaker 1: shoe is on the other foot, all of a sudden, 630 00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,520 Speaker 1: people's tone change. And I've seen it online where a 631 00:31:48,560 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: lot of times people will be rod dragged, rad drag drag, 632 00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:53,880 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they've been dragged all 633 00:31:53,880 --> 00:31:55,880 Speaker 1: of a sudden, their friend of their has been dragged 634 00:31:55,920 --> 00:31:57,800 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, you know, they've been on the 635 00:31:57,840 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 1: other shoe. And then they were like, well, God, damn, 636 00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:01,320 Speaker 1: I might need to back off, I might need to 637 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: change my perspective on things, Yes, because once you've been 638 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:06,800 Speaker 1: on the other side of it, you have a better 639 00:32:06,920 --> 00:32:10,880 Speaker 1: understanding of it, and you understand people's why people do things, 640 00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:13,000 Speaker 1: and then you're like, oh, this shit is actually just 641 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:13,720 Speaker 1: fucked up. 642 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:19,120 Speaker 2: Yeah. And I think there's also like some bigger points 643 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:20,880 Speaker 2: that I want to make about this stuff that I'm 644 00:32:20,920 --> 00:32:25,880 Speaker 2: still fleshing out, Like I finally finished the book Locking 645 00:32:25,960 --> 00:32:31,680 Speaker 2: Up Our Own by What's the name Foreman Jr. And 646 00:32:33,120 --> 00:32:37,360 Speaker 2: there's just some things that don't add up with a 647 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 2: lot of people who claim to be you know, prison abolitionist, 648 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 2: prison reformists, and then the way that they act towards 649 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:48,800 Speaker 2: other people and the way they act online and the 650 00:32:48,840 --> 00:32:52,040 Speaker 2: things that they say about people. It's not something's not 651 00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,000 Speaker 2: right either you lying or you lying like like they 652 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,640 Speaker 2: not adding up. So I'll get into that maybe another time, 653 00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:03,720 Speaker 2: unless something someone brings up is relevant. 654 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,840 Speaker 3: So be touch, right, Sam. 655 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,360 Speaker 2: PBS still airs the new new episodes of Sesame Street. 656 00:33:09,440 --> 00:33:12,280 Speaker 2: HBO just had a nine month window of exclusivity for 657 00:33:12,360 --> 00:33:13,120 Speaker 2: the new material. 658 00:33:13,200 --> 00:33:15,480 Speaker 3: Oh wait, I'm sorry, let me clarify one more things, Jenica. 659 00:33:15,520 --> 00:33:17,160 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that you're one of these people who 660 00:33:17,240 --> 00:33:20,040 Speaker 2: thinks Marilyn Moseby is trash now because she's sucked up 661 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,440 Speaker 2: that case, So just just a case. 662 00:33:23,360 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, we just kind of went on a tangent based 663 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:27,040 Speaker 1: off of your comments. 664 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,840 Speaker 2: I'm not saying that was you, all right, he says. 665 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,240 Speaker 2: PBS still airs a new episodes of Sesame Street.

Now I'm 996 00:48:30,840 --> 00:48:35,919 Speaker 2: not gonna name no names, and I'm not gonna say who, 997 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:38,560 Speaker 2: but y'all done seen people talking about that. 998 00:48:39,239 --> 00:48:39,520 Speaker 1: M h. 999 00:48:40,520 --> 00:48:45,800 Speaker 2: Y'all know, there's been some some things said about people 1000 00:48:45,800 --> 00:48:48,880 Speaker 2: that they they they're not really black and shit like that, 1001 00:48:49,120 --> 00:48:52,600 Speaker 2: but for all the kinds of purposes, I mean, they 1002 00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:55,520 Speaker 2: treated as black throughout the community and they help a 1003 00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:01,040 Speaker 2: lot of black people black families. So absolutely could be true. 1004 00:49:01,160 --> 00:49:04,120 Speaker 2: Now I'm not saying it is true. I'm just saying 1005 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:09,399 Speaker 2: theoretically it could be true. Yeah. Plus, I really think 1006 00:49:09,520 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 2: we underestimate how many people past that were black. Right, 1007 00:49:16,200 --> 00:49:21,400 Speaker 2: But that rule of passing only exists because whiteness defined 1008 00:49:21,800 --> 00:49:25,719 Speaker 2: blackness as one drop of black blood. So there's a 1009 00:49:25,760 --> 00:49:29,399 Speaker 2: lot of white people who are black. They just they 1010 00:49:29,520 --> 00:49:33,080 Speaker 2: just what they just can never fucking accept or talk 1011 00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:35,360 Speaker 2: about that. But they got some black in them. But 1012 00:49:35,400 --> 00:49:38,000 Speaker 2: it's like I'm a white person because I look white enough, 1013 00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:43,320 Speaker 2: you know, So I mean, look at like my being Jail. 1014 00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:45,440 Speaker 2: COVID listened to the show fan and show all that 1015 00:49:45,480 --> 00:49:48,880 Speaker 2: stuff for fans of Jail, But Jail don't say niggas 1016 00:49:48,960 --> 00:49:51,080 Speaker 2: because Jail, like, I feel like I haven't lived in 1017 00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:54,000 Speaker 2: experience where I've been treated like that or that word 1018 00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:56,520 Speaker 2: is being used to injure me or whatever. Like people 1019 00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:57,880 Speaker 2: look at me and the first thing they think is 1020 00:49:57,920 --> 00:50:00,560 Speaker 2: look at this black man. So you know, as a 1021 00:50:00,560 --> 00:50:04,480 Speaker 2: biracial dude. You know, in my mind the way that 1022 00:50:04,560 --> 00:50:07,040 Speaker 2: I've learned in the South, I'm like, well, Jail's black 1023 00:50:07,080 --> 00:50:08,839 Speaker 2: because he has some black in him. 1024 00:50:08,880 --> 00:50:11,880 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter from Haiti or whatever. He's black. If 1025 00:50:11,960 --> 00:50:14,080 Speaker 3: Jail was around me he said nigga, I wouldn't be like. 1026 00:50:14,040 --> 00:50:18,120 Speaker 2: You, motherfucker. But but there are black people that might 1027 00:50:18,280 --> 00:50:22,000 Speaker 2: be upset by that, right, you know, if and it's 1028 00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,279 Speaker 2: that that Cash twenty two, If Jail were to say like, well, 1029 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:26,719 Speaker 2: since i haven't lived that experience, I'm gonna say I'm 1030 00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:28,279 Speaker 2: a white person, people would be mad. I'd be like, 1031 00:50:28,280 --> 00:50:30,879 Speaker 2: he never claim black. You know, people get mad about 1032 00:50:30,880 --> 00:50:33,160 Speaker 2: that shit. But at the same time, if he were 1033 00:50:33,239 --> 00:50:35,600 Speaker 2: to be like, you know, hey, you know I am black, 1034 00:50:35,760 --> 00:50:37,920 Speaker 2: what's up my niggas, somebody else would be like, you 1035 00:50:37,960 --> 00:50:40,319 Speaker 2: don't look black. You can't say that. So it's a 1036 00:50:40,320 --> 00:50:40,959 Speaker 2: bunch of rules. 1037 00:50:41,239 --> 00:50:44,160 Speaker 1: Can please everybody. That's what I realized. So just live 1038 00:50:44,239 --> 00:50:47,680 Speaker 1: whatever you're gonna live. Say niggas, don't say nigga live. However, 1039 00:50:47,680 --> 00:50:49,960 Speaker 1: you only live because somebody's gonna be offended by any 1040 00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:52,799 Speaker 1: any any quote unquote rouph. You choose when it comes 1041 00:50:52,840 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 1: to that. 1042 00:50:53,280 --> 00:50:55,800 Speaker 2: But but that's not My point. Isn't about the choice. 1043 00:50:55,920 --> 00:51:00,720 Speaker 2: My point is, yes, it exists, all rainbows, a variation 1044 00:51:00,880 --> 00:51:04,440 Speaker 2: of the diaspora, exists, every question you have if there's 1045 00:51:04,480 --> 00:51:06,920 Speaker 2: a person who's living that life as an example of that. 1046 00:51:07,440 --> 00:51:10,439 Speaker 2: But the way that everything is so racialized, I don't 1047 00:51:10,440 --> 00:51:13,319 Speaker 2: expect them to come out and say that correct. Matter 1048 00:51:13,320 --> 00:51:15,719 Speaker 2: of fact, did we cover the dude on the show 1049 00:51:15,719 --> 00:51:18,719 Speaker 2: that it was in Britain or something or England. He 1050 00:51:18,840 --> 00:51:21,920 Speaker 2: was a playwright and people had assumed he was black 1051 00:51:22,000 --> 00:51:25,160 Speaker 2: his whole life, and he had actually gotten like grants 1052 00:51:25,239 --> 00:51:28,040 Speaker 2: dedicated to minority people and stuff.

Even he says, I don't understand the vitri 1115 00:54:41,560 --> 00:54:44,040 Speaker 2: all people feel towards Gina Rodriguez. But then again, I 1116 00:54:44,040 --> 00:54:45,880 Speaker 2: feel like people are always looking for excused to be 1117 00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:48,200 Speaker 2: mad about something. She could have made some blunders and 1118 00:54:48,200 --> 00:54:50,360 Speaker 2: said some racial incentive things, but the way people go 1119 00:54:50,440 --> 00:54:52,280 Speaker 2: at her, you would think she done some Lena Dunham 1120 00:54:52,320 --> 00:54:56,319 Speaker 2: Tammy Lawrence level shit. I don't get it.

People aren't really as mad 1148 00:56:22,719 --> 00:56:25,600 Speaker 2: as Gena Rodriguez as they think they are. Now I'm 1149 00:56:25,640 --> 00:56:27,799 Speaker 2: not saying they don't think they're mad. They do think 1150 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:31,120 Speaker 2: they're mad, But I'm saying on the list of offenses, 1151 00:56:31,360 --> 00:56:35,560 Speaker 2: she's near the bottom. She's really not a problem. She's 1152 00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:38,279 Speaker 2: a person that we might not like. She may have 1153 00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:41,480 Speaker 2: some limited amount of power, but she's not getting us 1154 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,160 Speaker 2: free or not getting us free. That's not what Gena 1155 00:56:44,239 --> 00:56:50,000 Speaker 2: Rodriguez symbolizes, but what she does symbolize, and this is 1156 00:56:50,040 --> 00:56:53,400 Speaker 2: something I think people need to start considering in their 1157 00:56:53,440 --> 00:57:01,560 Speaker 2: interactions online. She symbolizes a gathering point digitally for people 1158 00:57:01,600 --> 00:57:07,400 Speaker 2: to essentially party, and it's a huge dopamine fixed party. 1159 00:57:07,440 --> 00:57:10,799 Speaker 2: It's like, it's like if dopamine was ecstasy and this 1160 00:57:10,880 --> 00:57:13,759 Speaker 2: is a then this is a rave. Okay. Geena Rodriguez 1161 00:57:14,280 --> 00:57:18,200 Speaker 2: is a rave every time. And so people had such 1162 00:57:18,240 --> 00:57:22,480 Speaker 2: a good time quote unquote dragging her online the first 1163 00:57:22,480 --> 00:57:26,800 Speaker 2: couple of times she said some shit. And anyone who 1164 00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:29,960 Speaker 2: doesn't get down or lay down with that plan you 1165 00:57:30,000 --> 00:57:34,080 Speaker 2: get called or you're caping for her. You don't love, 1166 00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:39,560 Speaker 2: you hate black women? You know you you a coon? 1167 00:57:39,680 --> 00:57:43,480 Speaker 2: Somehow you're sellout as opposed to just being like, well, 1168 00:57:43,520 --> 00:57:46,320 Speaker 2: maybe there's another way to view this where you can 1169 00:57:46,360 --> 00:57:48,840 Speaker 2: be black, you can be quote unquote woke, you can 1170 00:57:48,840 --> 00:57:52,040 Speaker 2: be racially aware and still be like, I don't want 1171 00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,440 Speaker 2: to put a lot of energy into hating Geena Rodriguez. 1172 00:57:54,480 --> 00:57:56,680 Speaker 2: I really just don't give a fuck. Come on, and 1173 00:57:56,720 --> 00:57:58,880 Speaker 2: it doesn't make you some type of horrible person or 1174 00:57:58,880 --> 00:58:01,240 Speaker 2: coon to sell out. But what it is the peer pressure, 1175 00:58:01,240 --> 00:58:03,480 Speaker 2: because what they're doing is they're having a fucking party, 1176 00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:07,360 Speaker 2: and so that's why this latest infraction with the fucking 1177 00:58:07,560 --> 00:58:11,560 Speaker 2: stupid ass video that was on her Instagram live and 1178 00:58:11,600 --> 00:58:14,000 Speaker 2: she just said wrapped along to the lyrics of a 1179 00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:17,520 Speaker 2: Fuji song and said front niggas give me hev Gev's 1180 00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:24,360 Speaker 2: that had to become basically her saying like I hate nigger, 1181 00:58:24,480 --> 00:58:26,400 Speaker 2: like a rent where they had to turn it into 1182 00:58:26,480 --> 00:58:28,320 Speaker 2: a rant where like she was walking down the street, 1183 00:58:28,360 --> 00:58:30,320 Speaker 2: saw some black people and said, I hate these niggers. 1184 00:58:30,600 --> 00:58:33,200 Speaker 2: That's what they wanted to sell it, ass, and it 1185 00:58:33,280 --> 00:58:36,120 Speaker 2: wasn't that. But you look at the headlines from that 1186 00:58:36,240 --> 00:58:40,040 Speaker 2: and you'll see Gena rodrigue Gas says nigger. Gena rodrigue 1187 00:58:40,040 --> 00:58:44,800 Speaker 2: Gas goes says the N word, you know, Gina, and 1188 00:58:44,800 --> 00:58:47,320 Speaker 2: they no context in the headlines, so you just click 1189 00:58:47,360 --> 00:58:49,680 Speaker 2: on it, going, oh my god. They she finally fucking 1190 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:53,040 Speaker 2: snapped and said, I guess everyone was right, and then 1191 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:55,640 Speaker 2: she does an apology and apology the first one that's 1192 00:58:55,720 --> 00:58:58,360 Speaker 2: kind of half hearted, because let's be frank, it's a 1193 00:58:58,400 --> 00:59:02,560 Speaker 2: half hearted thing to have to apologize for, Like, like 1194 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:05,720 Speaker 2: I said, we're acting like this shit isn't very very common. 1195 00:59:06,200 --> 00:59:10,080 Speaker 2: There's black there's there's people that aren't black that are 1196 00:59:10,120 --> 00:59:13,640 Speaker 2: not white who say nigga and just and have said 1197 00:59:13,680 --> 00:59:15,680 Speaker 2: it with impunity and make a living off of it 1198 00:59:15,920 --> 00:59:18,640 Speaker 2: and no one really challenges to them to their face. 1199 00:59:18,880 --> 00:59:20,880 Speaker 2: And more important than people still buy and support their 1200 00:59:20,960 --> 00:59:24,720 Speaker 2: music and let them do what they do. DJ Khaled 1201 00:59:25,360 --> 00:59:28,760 Speaker 2: Fat Joe Big playing Rest in Peace. But you know, 1202 00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:32,760 Speaker 2: Cypress Hill, like there's people that that we've decided to 1203 00:59:32,880 --> 00:59:35,480 Speaker 2: do that now they happen to all be men. So 1204 00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:37,720 Speaker 2: that's another element we don't want to discuss about this shit. 1205 00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:41,680 Speaker 2: Are we also enforcing some type of weird ass misogyny 1206 00:59:41,720 --> 00:59:43,960 Speaker 2: and that a woman couldn't get away with this, but 1207 00:59:45,440 --> 00:59:50,600 Speaker 2: a not black male could, Like we're not discussing that part. 1208 00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:55,280 Speaker 2: But anyway, my whole point being this is more about 1209 00:59:55,280 --> 00:59:58,240 Speaker 2: the party, and so therefore everything she does has to 1210 00:59:58,280 --> 01:00:01,520 Speaker 2: become a party. The same thing happen and with Taylor Swift, 1211 01:00:01,720 --> 01:00:03,960 Speaker 2: same thing happened with Lena Dunham. This is not to 1212 01:00:03,960 --> 01:00:06,600 Speaker 2: say none of this stuff they've ever done is deserve ridicule, 1213 01:00:06,960 --> 01:00:09,560 Speaker 2: but now we're at the point where it's like Lena 1214 01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:12,720 Speaker 2: Dunham said she forgot to brush her teeth this morning, 1215 01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:14,919 Speaker 2: and then we have to do the whole. Remember when 1216 01:00:14,960 --> 01:00:18,040 Speaker 2: she put rocks in her sisters puts it huh, remember that? 1217 01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,480 Speaker 2: Like we go back to that, we want to have 1218 01:00:20,560 --> 01:00:23,400 Speaker 2: the party again. It's all about going back to that 1219 01:00:23,560 --> 01:00:27,480 Speaker 2: time that people remember being online and watching all the 1220 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:30,200 Speaker 2: memes and watching all the jokes and watching all the 1221 01:00:30,240 --> 01:00:33,600 Speaker 2: parties and the interactions and people retweeting, and like it's 1222 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:37,000 Speaker 2: a big ass orgy of dopamine that is happening when 1223 01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:41,040 Speaker 2: these situations go down, and people can't abstain and if 1224 01:00:41,040 --> 01:00:43,640 Speaker 2: they and what they really can't stand is someone being like, 1225 01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:44,800 Speaker 2: I just don't want to do this. 1226 01:00:45,280 --> 01:00:46,040 Speaker 1: Well I don't care. 1227 01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, well I just don't have to care about this. 1228 01:00:49,040 --> 01:00:51,680 Speaker 2: And the thing is, it's the truth. You don't have 1229 01:00:51,800 --> 01:00:54,160 Speaker 2: to care. Put your fucking phone down and go outside 1230 01:00:54,200 --> 01:00:57,840 Speaker 2: and promise you you won't be like man Geina Rodriguez 1231 01:00:57,920 --> 01:01:01,520 Speaker 2: ruined this sunny day. You know, it's not like it Like, 1232 01:01:01,560 --> 01:01:04,760 Speaker 2: there's a reason we rushed back to these moments over 1233 01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,600 Speaker 2: and over again, and certain people become focal points of 1234 01:01:07,640 --> 01:01:11,360 Speaker 2: these moments because when the dragging happened the first time, 1235 01:01:11,680 --> 01:01:14,320 Speaker 2: it was so good to us, so we have to 1236 01:01:14,400 --> 01:01:17,560 Speaker 2: go back and experience it again. And these people, some 1237 01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,479 Speaker 2: of the stuff they're doing is either innocuous and many 1238 01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:23,200 Speaker 2: times they're improving off of shit that they did in 1239 01:01:23,200 --> 01:01:26,640 Speaker 2: the past. So let's say, yes, this person fucked up 1240 01:01:27,520 --> 01:01:29,800 Speaker 2: four years ago and we all called them on it, 1241 01:01:29,880 --> 01:01:32,400 Speaker 2: and they you know, everybody was dragging them quote unquote 1242 01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,560 Speaker 2: holding them accountable. Yes, I were oll my eyes. You 1243 01:01:34,600 --> 01:01:38,320 Speaker 2: can't hear that on the show. But yeah, they're doing 1244 01:01:38,320 --> 01:01:40,480 Speaker 2: all that shit, right, they're going out about it, right, 1245 01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:42,920 Speaker 2: we don't like her no more. Well, then if the 1246 01:01:42,920 --> 01:01:48,160 Speaker 2: person ever says, you know what, guys, y'all right, I apologize. 1247 01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:49,760 Speaker 2: The apology is never good enough. 1248 01:01:50,360 --> 01:01:51,880 Speaker 1: No matter what they say, right. 1249 01:01:51,960 --> 01:01:54,120 Speaker 2: Many of these prison abolitionist to be the ones telling 1250 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:56,560 Speaker 2: you that no apologies good enough. I want y'all start 1251 01:01:56,600 --> 01:02:01,800 Speaker 2: noticing these things. Then when they after they apologize and 1252 01:02:01,840 --> 01:02:04,640 Speaker 2: they want to move on, we offer that shit too. 1253 01:02:04,920 --> 01:02:07,840 Speaker 2: So now it's like, Okay, I explain myself, I apologize, 1254 01:02:08,200 --> 01:02:10,680 Speaker 2: and I have to make a living. I'm doing another movie. 1255 01:02:10,840 --> 01:02:14,040 Speaker 2: Fuck this bitch, fuck her movie, fuck everything about this motherfucker. 1256 01:02:14,080 --> 01:02:17,320 Speaker 2: Oh you're putting another album out. Ah, you racist all 1257 01:02:17,360 --> 01:02:19,880 Speaker 2: the like, that's what we do now. And so then 1258 01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:23,840 Speaker 2: you eventually have another conversation because these people are human 1259 01:02:23,960 --> 01:02:26,320 Speaker 2: and they're gonna either fuck up again or they're just 1260 01:02:26,360 --> 01:02:28,840 Speaker 2: gonna do something. Well, you can interpret it as racist. 1261 01:02:29,360 --> 01:02:31,120 Speaker 2: You know. Look at the way she looked at this, 1262 01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:32,840 Speaker 2: Look at the way she didn't open that door, look 1263 01:02:32,840 --> 01:02:34,880 Speaker 2: at it. Like, we are going to be on their 1264 01:02:34,960 --> 01:02:37,520 Speaker 2: ass at every fucking turn. And the reason you're on 1265 01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:40,960 Speaker 2: their ass at every motherfucking turn is because the entertainment 1266 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:44,200 Speaker 2: factor of it. These people have become entertainment for you, 1267 01:02:44,560 --> 01:02:47,160 Speaker 2: so you have to fucking get off on every fucking 1268 01:02:47,160 --> 01:02:51,280 Speaker 2: thing they do. Honestly, I like, as a black person 1269 01:02:51,800 --> 01:02:56,560 Speaker 2: that loves the word nigga, understands that down here in 1270 01:02:56,600 --> 01:02:59,160 Speaker 2: the South, I've never really seen people that weren't black 1271 01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:03,040 Speaker 2: say nigga. Not something that just happens now up North 1272 01:03:03,120 --> 01:03:07,200 Speaker 2: different Miami. Maybe it's different, but in general, we don't 1273 01:03:07,200 --> 01:03:09,800 Speaker 2: really play that shit around here. Not that it can't happen, 1274 01:03:09,880 --> 01:03:13,320 Speaker 2: but it just ain't common. Even with that. I ain't 1275 01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:15,320 Speaker 2: from here, and I'm like, yeah, this shit don't make me. 1276 01:03:15,480 --> 01:03:19,120 Speaker 2: I'm not mad. I don't care. And if that means 1277 01:03:19,400 --> 01:03:23,480 Speaker 2: like I'm not part of the party, or I'm some 1278 01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:27,800 Speaker 2: type of coon, or I'm not militant enough cool. I 1279 01:03:27,840 --> 01:03:30,720 Speaker 2: don't want to be in this party. This is because 1280 01:03:30,800 --> 01:03:33,080 Speaker 2: what I'm realizing is that it's really more about the 1281 01:03:33,120 --> 01:03:36,840 Speaker 2: fucking black hole inside of people that causes them to 1282 01:03:36,920 --> 01:03:39,800 Speaker 2: keep one to have the same fucking thing. There's something 1283 01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,840 Speaker 2: inside of people. It's not good people. It's gonna take 1284 01:03:42,880 --> 01:03:45,439 Speaker 2: a long time for them to realize. But social media 1285 01:03:45,520 --> 01:03:47,400 Speaker 2: has brought out a lot of shit in us that's 1286 01:03:47,480 --> 01:03:50,440 Speaker 2: not good, and it's because it keeps circling over and 1287 01:03:50,520 --> 01:03:54,200 Speaker 2: over and we're addicted to these platforms, which is why 1288 01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:56,320 Speaker 2: we can't get off. Like I know, we do this 1289 01:03:56,360 --> 01:03:58,440 Speaker 2: for a living as well, and part of it is promotion, 1290 01:03:58,600 --> 01:04:01,040 Speaker 2: but part of it is also just that it's designed 1291 01:04:01,080 --> 01:04:04,400 Speaker 2: to addict you. It is so we know for a 1292 01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:08,360 Speaker 2: fact that Facebook has algorithms that can make a person depressed, 1293 01:04:09,240 --> 01:04:13,720 Speaker 2: that can make you angry. We have not really internalized 1294 01:04:13,720 --> 01:04:16,640 Speaker 2: the power of that and said, maybe we should be 1295 01:04:16,680 --> 01:04:20,480 Speaker 2: careful how we use these things. You know, we're not 1296 01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:23,760 Speaker 2: talking about that. And then, more importantly, what are you 1297 01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:27,360 Speaker 2: taking with you after you experienced these things over and 1298 01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:30,200 Speaker 2: over and over again, after you traumatize yourself. I watched 1299 01:04:30,240 --> 01:04:32,840 Speaker 2: a video of a black woman being killed by the 1300 01:04:32,880 --> 01:04:35,480 Speaker 2: cops and it fucked me up this week, you know, 1301 01:04:35,720 --> 01:04:39,360 Speaker 2: like that's like it wasn't It's not normal, you know. 1302 01:04:39,440 --> 01:04:43,200 Speaker 2: And there's other people that watch that shit almost for content, 1303 01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:45,760 Speaker 2: you know what I'm saying. I'm not saying they enjoy it, 1304 01:04:45,800 --> 01:04:48,600 Speaker 2: but they watch it like content that share this video, 1305 01:04:48,680 --> 01:04:50,600 Speaker 2: share this, and look at this article, and look at that, 1306 01:04:50,680 --> 01:04:52,160 Speaker 2: and look at this, y'all and did you see this? 1307 01:04:52,240 --> 01:04:54,520 Speaker 2: And let's comment on it. And it's like, yeah, but 1308 01:04:54,560 --> 01:04:58,520 Speaker 2: you're constantly creating a circle and a cycle of the 1309 01:04:58,600 --> 01:05:03,080 Speaker 2: same negative impulses and negative stimuli over and over and 1310 01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:05,960 Speaker 2: over and over again. And then look at how we 1311 01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:08,720 Speaker 2: interact with each other. Then we start off on fucking 1312 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,720 Speaker 2: one hundred. When you talk to people. I asked a 1313 01:05:11,800 --> 01:05:14,280 Speaker 2: question on Twitter this week which was and it wasn't 1314 01:05:14,320 --> 01:05:17,120 Speaker 2: facetious or sarcastic. It was a little question, I says, 1315 01:05:17,160 --> 01:05:21,720 Speaker 2: anyone else noticed that they're not really asking NFL players 1316 01:05:21,760 --> 01:05:26,160 Speaker 2: about black deaths anymore? I said, if anything, they ask 1317 01:05:26,240 --> 01:05:29,200 Speaker 2: them about Kaepernick having a job. But they but like, 1318 01:05:29,720 --> 01:05:32,440 Speaker 2: cops still kill black people. And in a lot of 1319 01:05:32,480 --> 01:05:36,400 Speaker 2: these interviews after the games, it's press conferences. There was 1320 01:05:36,440 --> 01:05:38,680 Speaker 2: a time when someone would get killed in the city, 1321 01:05:38,840 --> 01:05:40,400 Speaker 2: and the first thing they were doing was asking the 1322 01:05:40,400 --> 01:05:42,840 Speaker 2: athletes in that city, what do you think about this? Now, look, 1323 01:05:42,840 --> 01:05:45,600 Speaker 2: the athlete may say no comment, they may give you 1324 01:05:45,640 --> 01:05:47,520 Speaker 2: a good comment. They may bring it up themselves. That 1325 01:05:47,560 --> 01:05:49,920 Speaker 2: was another thing athletes were doing. They're bringing up shit themselves, 1326 01:05:50,240 --> 01:05:54,240 Speaker 2: receive does and they stopped kind of now I'm not 1327 01:05:54,320 --> 01:05:56,880 Speaker 2: saying this and it'll never come back or whatever. I 1328 01:05:56,880 --> 01:05:59,240 Speaker 2: think the last one I remember was a Sacramento Kings 1329 01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:02,560 Speaker 2: and Stefan Clark or Stephen Clark, Stephen Clark.

Monique says, excellent podcast 1581 01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:44,720 Speaker 2: with you you too. I wasn't in the headspace to 1582 01:18:44,760 --> 01:18:46,639 Speaker 2: watch it on Sunday, so I plays hell da Oyl. 1583 01:18:46,960 --> 01:18:49,120 Speaker 2: Then I remember it was a Whisperer episode, and then 1584 01:18:49,120 --> 01:18:50,960 Speaker 2: I couldn't wait to watch the episode to listen to y'all. 1585 01:18:51,320 --> 01:18:54,040 Speaker 2: I feel like Beta is more a sexual than Darryl, 1586 01:18:54,160 --> 01:18:56,479 Speaker 2: and the concept of being in love is not reality 1587 01:18:56,520 --> 01:18:59,679 Speaker 2: to him. They appear to have chemistry in terms of agendas, 1588 01:18:59,720 --> 01:19:02,760 Speaker 2: whatever those are. However, there's an inherent weakness in her 1589 01:19:02,800 --> 01:19:05,320 Speaker 2: that is constantly revealed to him, and that he also 1590 01:19:05,360 --> 01:19:07,960 Speaker 2: has to cover up. Their power structure flips when she's 1591 01:19:07,960 --> 01:19:10,400 Speaker 2: spinning out when they're alone, but he looks at her 1592 01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:14,519 Speaker 2: like she is so weak. Yeah he does, man, he 1593 01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:17,960 Speaker 2: really she built herself up to be this person that 1594 01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:24,400 Speaker 2: has no flaws, has no attachment, but then she clearly 1595 01:19:24,439 --> 01:19:27,040 Speaker 2: is not that person, and she only privately reveals that 1596 01:19:27,120 --> 01:19:31,480 Speaker 2: to him. Their power dynamic is so weird and fascinating. 1597 01:19:32,640 --> 01:19:34,840 Speaker 2: Ama says last season, I thought there might be, but 1598 01:19:34,880 --> 01:19:37,040 Speaker 2: seeing that backstory, I don't think there is. I think 1599 01:19:37,080 --> 01:19:39,800 Speaker 2: they have a deeper friendship or understanding. But hey, they're 1600 01:19:39,800 --> 01:19:44,360 Speaker 2: both crazy, so maybe crazy love on one another. Differently. Well, 1601 01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:46,519 Speaker 2: I just know that people say, you know, men and 1602 01:19:46,520 --> 01:19:49,720 Speaker 2: women can't be friends, and I feel like Alpha and 1603 01:19:50,160 --> 01:19:53,599 Speaker 2: Beta are proving everybody wrong. Okay, men and women can 1604 01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:58,160 Speaker 2: be platonic friends into zpop. Okay, you don't. Don't listen 1605 01:19:58,160 --> 01:20:02,320 Speaker 2: to these people. I'm kind of glad there's not a 1606 01:20:02,400 --> 01:20:06,360 Speaker 2: romantic element because I still can't imagine how grossed out 1607 01:20:06,439 --> 01:20:09,400 Speaker 2: it would be to watch them like start making out 1608 01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:12,320 Speaker 2: in the mask and shit, I don't think any of 1609 01:20:12,400 --> 01:20:13,280 Speaker 2: us is ready for. 1610 01:20:14,600 --> 01:20:17,320 Speaker 3: People covered in zombie because making sweet love. 1611 01:20:17,479 --> 01:20:19,519 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not here for it. 1612 01:20:19,560 --> 01:20:26,000 Speaker 2: I just can't see it.

I talk about 1646 01:22:35,160 --> 01:22:37,360 Speaker 4: how if I'm at a concert, I expect people who 1647 01:22:37,360 --> 01:22:40,160 Speaker 4: are going to be yelling at word along with the artists. 1648 01:22:40,479 --> 01:22:43,200 Speaker 4: So it's just a matter of whether it's in my workplace. 1649 01:22:43,800 --> 01:22:48,160 Speaker 4: So the example of Homegirls singing along with Lauren Hill 1650 01:22:48,840 --> 01:22:50,840 Speaker 4: is just one of those things. I mean, you all 1651 01:22:50,840 --> 01:22:53,400 Speaker 4: have said it before. Why are we acting like we 1652 01:22:53,439 --> 01:22:56,080 Speaker 4: can control other adults. The more we think we're going 1653 01:22:56,120 --> 01:22:59,559 Speaker 4: to control these people, the more frustrated we're going to be. 1654 01:23:00,160 --> 01:23:02,920 Speaker 4: So this just really spoke to me as somebody who 1655 01:23:03,520 --> 01:23:06,400 Speaker 4: I want to have my white peers raise the bar 1656 01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:09,680 Speaker 4: on themselves. But I'm not going to pretend that this 1657 01:23:09,800 --> 01:23:13,960 Speaker 4: is something that I expect in their non professional lives. 1658 01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:19,320 Speaker 4: So yeah, so this was just really really interesting. So 1659 01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:22,320 Speaker 4: I have to join y'all once the not being on 1660 01:23:22,439 --> 01:23:28,320 Speaker 4: the mad enough boat on this one. All right, thanks 1661 01:23:28,400 --> 01:23:30,479 Speaker 4: a lot before I get cut off. Check y'all later. 1662 01:23:32,600 --> 01:23:35,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, And I actually appreciate that, because, like I said, 1663 01:23:35,360 --> 01:23:41,599 Speaker 2: sometimes I do feel like almost letting people down because 1664 01:23:41,600 --> 01:23:43,559 Speaker 2: we had a show, we had a platform. But I'm 1665 01:23:44,080 --> 01:23:46,479 Speaker 2: the only thing I promise is to be authentic, and 1666 01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:49,360 Speaker 2: I think there's a lot of people that kind of 1667 01:23:49,439 --> 01:23:53,760 Speaker 2: front for the Internet or for their peer group, and 1668 01:23:53,800 --> 01:23:57,840 Speaker 2: they kind of want to be padded on the back 1669 01:23:58,000 --> 01:24:01,160 Speaker 2: for shit. And I know that I'm gonna be myself 1670 01:24:01,560 --> 01:24:03,519 Speaker 2: and at least you know I'm being honest, and I'm 1671 01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:06,240 Speaker 2: trying to be consistent when I tell you, hey, this 1672 01:24:06,240 --> 01:24:08,360 Speaker 2: thing didn't bother me as much as to bother someone else. 1673 01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:11,080 Speaker 2: What I try not to do is call everybody sensitive. 1674 01:24:11,280 --> 01:24:14,439 Speaker 2: I try not to be like, y'all, you know, you 1675 01:24:14,600 --> 01:24:16,599 Speaker 2: fucking idiots or whatever.

Everybody, if it's Holly 1764 01:28:38,680 --> 01:28:40,600 Speaker 2: Berry who happens to be a black woman, all of 1765 01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:43,759 Speaker 2: a sudden, motherfuckers are now see, you'll say a woman 1766 01:28:43,840 --> 01:28:46,120 Speaker 2: is crazy just because she doesn't want to have a man. 1767 01:28:46,240 --> 01:28:48,720 Speaker 2: But what about men being trash?

But 1771 01:28:57,439 --> 01:28:59,840 Speaker 2: I can relate to that. If you could be honest 1772 01:29:00,040 --> 01:29:02,400 Speaker 2: about that, I'll leave you alone about it. I don't 1773 01:29:02,439 --> 01:29:04,200 Speaker 2: even want to argue with you about it. I get 1774 01:29:04,240 --> 01:29:06,840 Speaker 2: it in the discussion.

You have to be 1809 01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:30,679 Speaker 2: And that's something I realized over the past few years. 1810 01:30:31,080 --> 01:30:35,160 Speaker 2: I have to be as passionate about my happiness as 1811 01:30:35,200 --> 01:30:36,880 Speaker 2: I would have been about my anger. 1812 01:30:37,680 --> 01:30:37,920 Speaker 1: You know. 1813 01:30:39,400 --> 01:30:41,000 Speaker 2: The thing, this is one of the things I was 1814 01:30:41,000 --> 01:30:44,240 Speaker 2: thinking about saying. I guess I could say here, But 1815 01:30:44,640 --> 01:30:46,200 Speaker 2: like I said, I'm still working through it. But I 1816 01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:52,320 Speaker 2: just finished locking up our own uh. The book, and 1817 01:30:52,400 --> 01:30:54,200 Speaker 2: the last story in the book is about a kid 1818 01:30:54,280 --> 01:30:58,040 Speaker 2: named Dante who robbed a man when he was right 1819 01:30:58,160 --> 01:31:00,960 Speaker 2: like a week ahead of his sixteen first and he 1820 01:31:01,000 --> 01:31:03,519 Speaker 2: immediately got caught, and he robbed the man because he 1821 01:31:03,560 --> 01:31:05,959 Speaker 2: wanted to join the gang, and part of the initiation 1822 01:31:06,040 --> 01:31:07,800 Speaker 2: of the gang was you have to rob this man. 1823 01:31:07,960 --> 01:31:09,439 Speaker 3: So he robbed the man at a bus stop on. 1824 01:31:09,400 --> 01:31:12,639 Speaker 2: His way home for work and took some money and shit, 1825 01:31:12,920 --> 01:31:16,080 Speaker 2: and he was caught by the police that night. In 1826 01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:18,640 Speaker 2: his confession to the crime, because he did confess and 1827 01:31:18,680 --> 01:31:22,000 Speaker 2: said I did it, and he wrote also his confession 1828 01:31:22,040 --> 01:31:24,880 Speaker 2: like I'm sorry that I did it. You know, I 1829 01:31:24,920 --> 01:31:27,000 Speaker 2: don't wish that man any harm, but you know, and 1830 01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:33,120 Speaker 2: I apologize to him. And so the way the system works, though, 1831 01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:37,639 Speaker 2: he could be tried as either as a juvenile because 1832 01:31:37,680 --> 01:31:39,800 Speaker 2: he wasn't sixteen yet. If he was in sixteen a 1833 01:31:40,520 --> 01:31:42,200 Speaker 2: week later, we're not even having this discussion. He's just 1834 01:31:42,240 --> 01:31:44,760 Speaker 2: going straight to jail. But at sixteen he could go 1835 01:31:44,800 --> 01:31:47,200 Speaker 2: to jail, go to juvie for two years. The cost 1836 01:31:47,240 --> 01:31:49,679 Speaker 2: of juvie for two years is you know, you're definitely 1837 01:31:49,680 --> 01:31:52,200 Speaker 2: gonna be out of school. Many schools won't let you 1838 01:31:52,240 --> 01:31:56,680 Speaker 2: back in. This is a violent offense, right, So we 1839 01:31:56,760 --> 01:31:59,400 Speaker 2: talk about non violent offenders as the people we would 1840 01:31:59,400 --> 01:32:01,720 Speaker 2: like to see get out of jail and get leniency, right, 1841 01:32:02,040 --> 01:32:06,120 Speaker 2: especially nonviolent drug offens drug possession. What we don't talk about, though, 1842 01:32:06,360 --> 01:32:10,120 Speaker 2: is that is literally a drop in the bucket considering 1843 01:32:10,439 --> 01:32:14,559 Speaker 2: how much mass incarceration in America is not. It's driven 1844 01:32:14,600 --> 01:32:18,040 Speaker 2: by drugs, but not all drug offics are nonviolent drugs 1845 01:32:18,080 --> 01:32:21,559 Speaker 2: in its bias nature. Sometimes, just whether you're selling drugs, 1846 01:32:21,600 --> 01:32:24,519 Speaker 2: buying drugs on drugs, you may happen to be involved 1847 01:32:24,560 --> 01:32:27,599 Speaker 2: in some violence as well. Not all balances created equal, 1848 01:32:28,320 --> 01:32:32,240 Speaker 2: you know, And so if you really about that life 1849 01:32:32,280 --> 01:32:35,800 Speaker 2: of wanting prison reform, prison abolition, and shit, you gotta 1850 01:32:36,040 --> 01:32:38,880 Speaker 2: seed it for those people too. You got to see 1851 01:32:38,920 --> 01:32:42,960 Speaker 2: it for people that did a violence, a robbery that 1852 01:32:43,320 --> 01:32:45,400 Speaker 2: on robberies considered violent, whether you use the going or not, 1853 01:32:45,720 --> 01:32:47,559 Speaker 2: you got to see it for that person and be like, 1854 01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:49,280 Speaker 2: I think there's a world where that person can be 1855 01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:54,000 Speaker 2: productive and reinner society. And I talk about these things, 1856 01:32:54,040 --> 01:32:56,120 Speaker 2: I know sometimes people push back. Like I brought up 1857 01:32:56,160 --> 01:32:59,599 Speaker 2: how people say banned the box. People say I want 1858 01:33:00,160 --> 01:33:02,680 Speaker 2: prison abolition, people say I want prison reform. I want 1859 01:33:02,720 --> 01:33:05,800 Speaker 2: these people who've been incarcerated out on the streets. And 1860 01:33:05,840 --> 01:33:07,600 Speaker 2: then the same people say, but I don't want to 1861 01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:09,640 Speaker 2: live in my neighborhood. 1862 01:33:08,960 --> 01:33:10,439 Speaker 1: I don't want to work with me, right, I. 1863 01:33:10,439 --> 01:33:13,080 Speaker 2: Don't want them as a coworker. I don't want I 1864 01:33:13,120 --> 01:33:17,000 Speaker 2: wouldn't date them, right, And they go, well, that's different, Yeah, 1865 01:33:17,040 --> 01:33:20,280 Speaker 2: but it comes from the same fucking place you think. 1866 01:33:20,439 --> 01:33:22,800 Speaker 2: You think it's different. But what you're essentially saying is 1867 01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:25,799 Speaker 2: this thing has marked you. You cannot re enter society anymore. 1868 01:33:26,760 --> 01:33:28,480 Speaker 2: You know, you are irredeemable. 1869 01:33:28,880 --> 01:33:29,759 Speaker 1: That's what you're saying. 1870 01:33:29,840 --> 01:33:33,479 Speaker 2: This is like you're unforgivable. This was it and so 1871 01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:36,600 Speaker 2: you know, and this is even the people we go 1872 01:33:36,800 --> 01:33:42,080 Speaker 2: up for Eric Holder. President Obama, like many of their 1873 01:33:42,200 --> 01:33:47,160 Speaker 2: reforms still say nonviolent offenders. Right, So we're still talking 1874 01:33:47,200 --> 01:33:50,000 Speaker 2: about a huge swath of prisoners who will never see 1875 01:33:50,040 --> 01:33:52,360 Speaker 2: the light of day, or at least not in a 1876 01:33:52,439 --> 01:33:55,320 Speaker 2: meaningful way because they've been over sentenced, many of them 1877 01:33:55,360 --> 01:34:01,280 Speaker 2: being black, so many of them being poor. So in 1878 01:34:01,360 --> 01:34:05,439 Speaker 2: this one story of this one kid, the foreman goes 1879 01:34:05,479 --> 01:34:09,040 Speaker 2: to see. He's the foreman, is the lawyer for the kids, 1880 01:34:09,040 --> 01:34:11,720 Speaker 2: he's a public defender. So he goes to see the 1881 01:34:11,840 --> 01:34:14,120 Speaker 2: victim of the crime. He tries to get the kid 1882 01:34:14,560 --> 01:34:17,920 Speaker 2: into some diversionary programs, and he brings up a great point. 1883 01:34:17,960 --> 01:34:22,280 Speaker 2: There's always a wait for diversionary programs. So, hey, this 1884 01:34:22,360 --> 01:34:24,160 Speaker 2: kid is an artist, maybe we can get them busy 1885 01:34:24,200 --> 01:34:26,840 Speaker 2: after school doing art. Hey that's gonna be a three 1886 01:34:26,880 --> 01:34:29,280 Speaker 2: month wait, that's gonna be a year await. Okay, Well, 1887 01:34:29,360 --> 01:34:31,720 Speaker 2: there's a drug prevention program we'd like to get this 1888 01:34:31,760 --> 01:34:34,599 Speaker 2: person there. Addict that we like to get them into that. Well, okay, 1889 01:34:34,640 --> 01:34:36,720 Speaker 2: you can go in that program once, but if you 1890 01:34:36,800 --> 01:34:39,280 Speaker 2: drop out of that program, you go. Now there's a 1891 01:34:39,320 --> 01:34:41,880 Speaker 2: line and you can't go in that program. Well, you know, 1892 01:34:41,920 --> 01:34:46,240 Speaker 2: it just never aligned for prison. It's immediately there's never 1893 01:34:46,320 --> 01:34:50,240 Speaker 2: aligned for jail. They're never await right, you could go 1894 01:34:50,280 --> 01:34:52,799 Speaker 2: straight in no matter how crowded it gets. The people 1895 01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:53,400 Speaker 2: is they. 1896 01:34:53,240 --> 01:34:55,800 Speaker 1: Will find the motherfucking space. In fact, we'll expand the 1897 01:34:55,880 --> 01:34:56,760 Speaker 1: while that we got to. 1898 01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:58,960 Speaker 2: Well, we'll crowd too many people in the self we 1899 01:34:59,040 --> 01:35:01,320 Speaker 2: have to. But what we won't do it say, hey, 1900 01:35:01,360 --> 01:35:03,439 Speaker 2: this isn't in humane. Let's they have to wait. Right, 1901 01:35:04,040 --> 01:35:07,479 Speaker 2: So they find the kid a church program from a 1902 01:35:07,520 --> 01:35:12,800 Speaker 2: pastor who lets at risk you like, learn how to 1903 01:35:13,080 --> 01:35:15,240 Speaker 2: do arts and crafts and stuff at his church. Okay, 1904 01:35:15,720 --> 01:35:17,559 Speaker 2: so now he has a thing he can do after school. 1905 01:35:19,560 --> 01:35:21,200 Speaker 2: They I think they got him back and rolled in 1906 01:35:21,200 --> 01:35:24,400 Speaker 2: school because he was just about to drop out. 1907 01:35:24,640 --> 01:35:27,160 Speaker 1: They uh. 1908 01:35:27,280 --> 01:35:30,400 Speaker 2: And so then they have like a couple of weeks 1909 01:35:30,400 --> 01:35:37,320 Speaker 2: into the trial, and obviously the defender, the public defender knows, hey, 1910 01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:40,040 Speaker 2: this ain't really gonna be enough. Because I do these 1911 01:35:40,040 --> 01:35:42,240 Speaker 2: cases all the time. I'm gonna walk up in there. 1912 01:35:42,479 --> 01:35:44,519 Speaker 2: I know this judge. The judge's gonna give a Martin 1913 01:35:44,600 --> 01:35:47,120 Speaker 2: Luther King's speech, which is, y'all don't got it as 1914 01:35:47,160 --> 01:35:48,760 Speaker 2: hard as we did when Martin Luther King was alive 1915 01:35:48,800 --> 01:35:53,080 Speaker 2: and y'all still fucking y'all chances up. Uh, the prosecutor 1916 01:35:53,160 --> 01:35:55,400 Speaker 2: is gonna be like, what about the victim? If I say, 1917 01:35:56,040 --> 01:35:58,160 Speaker 2: you know, well, he's a good kid, he's turned this around, 1918 01:35:58,240 --> 01:36:00,439 Speaker 2: he's then they're gonna say what about the victim.

So 1921 01:36:04,800 --> 01:36:06,800 Speaker 2: he said, so that the public defender goes, I have 1922 01:36:06,880 --> 01:36:11,360 Speaker 2: to go see the the victim of the crime. And 1923 01:36:11,400 --> 01:36:14,720 Speaker 2: he goes to see the man, and the man lets 1924 01:36:14,760 --> 01:36:16,960 Speaker 2: him in his house for like, and he just kind 1925 01:36:16,960 --> 01:36:18,800 Speaker 2: of goes on the spell for five minutes or so, 1926 01:36:19,439 --> 01:36:21,759 Speaker 2: rambling hoping to reach this man.

And so 1958 01:38:06,280 --> 01:38:09,160 Speaker 2: when they had the court case, you know it was 1959 01:38:09,320 --> 01:38:13,160 Speaker 2: the judge was looking like open and shutcase. Prosecutor, you 1960 01:38:13,160 --> 01:38:16,599 Speaker 2: got anything to say, victim, you got anything to say? 1961 01:38:16,600 --> 01:38:19,320 Speaker 2: And the victim dude was like, listen, I'm gonna tell 1962 01:38:19,320 --> 01:38:22,400 Speaker 2: you like I tell my man, I do believe in 1963 01:38:22,640 --> 01:38:25,960 Speaker 2: second chances. I do think this kid fucked up. I 1964 01:38:26,040 --> 01:38:30,519 Speaker 2: do think you know, uh, y'all could probably put the 1965 01:38:30,560 --> 01:38:33,400 Speaker 2: screws to him, but I don't want to see that. 1966 01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:36,160 Speaker 3: I would like for this kid to get a second chance. 1967 01:38:36,200 --> 01:38:39,679 Speaker 2: I believe him. And then the judge was like, well, 1968 01:38:40,960 --> 01:38:44,600 Speaker 2: go out and use don't just use your words and 1969 01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:47,240 Speaker 2: say I'm sorry, use your actions and say I'm sorry. 1970 01:38:47,520 --> 01:38:50,799 Speaker 2: So live a life that will make this man's second 1971 01:38:50,920 --> 01:38:55,439 Speaker 2: chance you were granted worthwhile. Who the fuck gives second chances? 1972 01:38:55,439 --> 01:38:55,639 Speaker 1: Now? 1973 01:38:57,200 --> 01:38:59,559 Speaker 2: Like you know what I'm saying, Who like who really 1974 01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:02,320 Speaker 2: believed that? Look at how people live, don't look at 1975 01:39:02,320 --> 01:39:04,800 Speaker 2: what they say. Because people say that, they say they 1976 01:39:04,800 --> 01:39:07,479 Speaker 2: want prisonfo and they say they won't forgiveness. They say 1977 01:39:07,479 --> 01:39:11,280 Speaker 2: they want avalanche. They say these words, do they actively 1978 01:39:11,360 --> 01:39:15,240 Speaker 2: walk around in forgiveness? Do they walk around in grace? No? 1979 01:39:15,920 --> 01:39:17,799 Speaker 2: If anything, we admonish the people. 1980 01:39:17,600 --> 01:39:20,840 Speaker 1: To exhibit grace and mercy. Yes, couldn't have been me. 1981 01:39:22,080 --> 01:39:25,200 Speaker 2: You know, we can't wait that. I'm sick of negroes forgiven. 1982 01:39:25,479 --> 01:39:29,800 Speaker 2: Well you know who? You know what negroes don't forgive niggas, 1983 01:39:29,880 --> 01:39:33,360 Speaker 2: other niggas, other black people. That's who were not forgiven. 1984 01:39:33,560 --> 01:39:35,479 Speaker 2: And that's who pays the fucking cast because we have 1985 01:39:35,560 --> 01:39:38,400 Speaker 2: at least fucking protection from a system like this. Yeah, 1986 01:39:38,439 --> 01:39:41,280 Speaker 2: you might not like it when a black church member 1987 01:39:41,360 --> 01:39:45,920 Speaker 2: is forgiven a killer of a black person or some shit. Yes, 1988 01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:48,760 Speaker 2: that fucking sucks. But we never fucking forgive each other. 1989 01:39:49,680 --> 01:39:52,120 Speaker 2: We never forget the people fucking closest to us. And 1990 01:39:52,160 --> 01:39:54,240 Speaker 2: that's why the fuck we be in prison for so long, 1991 01:39:54,720 --> 01:39:57,120 Speaker 2: because we want them there. The system works the way 1992 01:39:57,160 --> 01:40:01,800 Speaker 2: we want it to work. Like everyone keeps thinking the 1993 01:40:01,880 --> 01:40:05,200 Speaker 2: system is like above us and it's making us do 1994 01:40:05,320 --> 01:40:08,440 Speaker 2: things we don't want to do. The system works exactly 1995 01:40:08,520 --> 01:40:11,400 Speaker 2: how we wanted to work too. As black people, as 1996 01:40:11,439 --> 01:40:17,000 Speaker 2: a community, we have also contributed to this. We have 1997 01:40:17,120 --> 01:40:20,560 Speaker 2: also put in and so when you see the individual 1998 01:40:20,680 --> 01:40:24,160 Speaker 2: spirit of forgiveness being pushed away from And I'm a 1999 01:40:24,200 --> 01:40:28,120 Speaker 2: fucking atheist. Many people listen to the sound of my 2000 01:40:28,280 --> 01:40:33,120 Speaker 2: voice supposedly believe in Jesus Christ, and the whole fucking 2001 01:40:33,160 --> 01:40:36,760 Speaker 2: bag of Jesus is forgiveness. God watched the world do 2002 01:40:36,840 --> 01:40:39,920 Speaker 2: his son wrong and said, I forgive y'all. I'm gonna 2003 01:40:39,920 --> 01:40:42,320 Speaker 2: be a new God from now. I'm gonna teach mercy 2004 01:40:43,280 --> 01:40:47,400 Speaker 2: and compassion and empathy. And people will fucking throw that 2005 01:40:47,479 --> 01:40:52,439 Speaker 2: shit out in the name of short satisfaction. Man, it's 2006 01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:59,920 Speaker 2: very short lived satisfaction. It's not real. People have no grace. 2007 01:41:00,240 --> 01:41:03,040 Speaker 2: They're wronged by somebody and they immediately throw them in 2008 01:41:03,080 --> 01:41:10,480 Speaker 2: the dustbind. They're done forever. Socially, in jail wise, everything 2009 01:41:11,439 --> 01:41:13,400 Speaker 2: you get one chance, fuck you, how you're fucked up, 2010 01:41:13,400 --> 01:41:16,840 Speaker 2: You're done forever, you know. Like that is the thing 2011 01:41:16,920 --> 01:41:23,440 Speaker 2: that it took a bunch of little decisions to make incarceration, 2012 01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:26,439 Speaker 2: massive incarceration happen. It wasn't one person hitting the switch. 2013 01:41:27,080 --> 01:41:29,439 Speaker 2: It was a bunch of bunch of little decisions. It's 2014 01:41:29,439 --> 01:41:32,280 Speaker 2: gonna take a bunch of little decisions to change fucking 2015 01:41:32,320 --> 01:41:33,080 Speaker 2: society back. 2016 01:41:33,240 --> 01:41:36,200 Speaker 3: And it's gonna start on individual. 2017 01:41:35,520 --> 01:41:39,880 Speaker 2: Levels, like that black man seeing the humanity and that 2018 01:41:40,040 --> 01:41:42,639 Speaker 2: black boy. And he even said in the courtroom because 2019 01:41:42,680 --> 01:41:45,400 Speaker 2: I thought, if it was my son, I would want 2020 01:41:45,439 --> 01:41:48,400 Speaker 2: someone to give him that second chance, right, And here 2021 01:41:48,439 --> 01:41:50,360 Speaker 2: I am with a chance to do that for somebody 2022 01:41:50,439 --> 01:41:53,920 Speaker 2: else's son. And yes, I'm still mad about this shit, 2023 01:41:54,800 --> 01:41:57,559 Speaker 2: but yes, I also want to see you get this 2024 01:41:57,600 --> 01:42:01,080 Speaker 2: sucking second chance that is more important then my anger. 2025 01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:05,960 Speaker 2: We're now in such a fucking myopic society where we 2026 01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:08,160 Speaker 2: feel so it's so self centered. We think our anger 2027 01:42:08,200 --> 01:42:09,000 Speaker 2: is the only fucking. 2028 01:42:08,800 --> 01:42:10,519 Speaker 1: Thing that matters, That's all that matters. 2029 01:42:11,240 --> 01:42:13,040 Speaker 2: I gotta pause this to go to the next segment, 2030 01:42:13,080 --> 01:42:16,840 Speaker 2: but uh, we'll be right back, my bad, y'all.

And 2038 01:42:35,560 --> 01:42:37,760 Speaker 2: I mean it on every I'm not just talking about 2039 01:42:37,760 --> 01:42:40,479 Speaker 2: criminal justice. I'm talking about the way niggas care about 2040 01:42:41,520 --> 01:42:43,880 Speaker 2: the way we act, like appropriation is a one way 2041 01:42:43,920 --> 01:42:45,880 Speaker 2: street that everyone does to us and we don't do 2042 01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:48,599 Speaker 2: to anybody else. And we decide we want to put 2043 01:42:48,600 --> 01:42:52,360 Speaker 2: boxes around culture, something we know historically cannot be contained, 2044 01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:56,840 Speaker 2: you know, the way that when we have infractions, we 2045 01:42:56,880 --> 01:42:57,880 Speaker 2: want to gloss over them. 2046 01:42:57,880 --> 01:43:00,720 Speaker 3: When other people have infractions, we want to hard on that. 2047 01:43:00,800 --> 01:43:03,559 Speaker 2: The power we think we feel when we're judging these 2048 01:43:03,640 --> 01:43:06,680 Speaker 2: fucking either celebrities or other stupid people on the internet 2049 01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:09,680 Speaker 2: or whatever, Like someone's worst day is the one we 2050 01:43:09,720 --> 01:43:12,519 Speaker 2: want to make the joke out of that part of us. 2051 01:43:13,800 --> 01:43:15,680 Speaker 2: If we let it be the most powerful part of 2052 01:43:15,720 --> 01:43:20,639 Speaker 2: our culture, it will dominate our minds, and it turns 2053 01:43:20,720 --> 01:43:24,200 Speaker 2: us so hard hearted, and it's so unproductive, and it 2054 01:43:24,240 --> 01:43:26,639 Speaker 2: does affect us. And I think people need to break 2055 01:43:26,680 --> 01:43:29,640 Speaker 2: that mold and stop stop letting that shit control you, 2056 01:43:29,880 --> 01:43:32,960 Speaker 2: or at least reconcile the fact that the way you 2057 01:43:33,040 --> 01:43:35,080 Speaker 2: act and the way you behave in the world when 2058 01:43:35,120 --> 01:43:38,040 Speaker 2: you live on this type of never give them a 2059 01:43:38,040 --> 01:43:40,799 Speaker 2: second of breath.

You don't think it is, but it is. 2062 01:43:47,479 --> 01:43:50,000 Speaker 2: And we are having that type of energy because many 2063 01:43:50,080 --> 01:43:53,160 Speaker 2: of us have been under the foot of oppression, and 2064 01:43:53,240 --> 01:43:56,680 Speaker 2: many of us, no matter how altruistic and good we 2065 01:43:56,880 --> 01:44:00,200 Speaker 2: want to pretend to be, a lot of us have 2066 01:44:00,280 --> 01:44:02,840 Speaker 2: this thing inside of us where we would like to 2067 01:44:02,960 --> 01:44:07,680 Speaker 2: be that white person, that person at the top of 2068 01:44:07,720 --> 01:44:12,240 Speaker 2: the pyramid who is now dispensing their own version of 2069 01:44:12,360 --> 01:44:17,120 Speaker 2: rules and circumstances on to everyone else. And especially with 2070 01:44:17,200 --> 01:44:19,519 Speaker 2: the illusion of power on the Internet, it gives us 2071 01:44:19,520 --> 01:44:21,519 Speaker 2: places to feel like that's a thing we can do. 2072 01:44:22,439 --> 01:44:24,840 Speaker 2: So that's why you have people talking about, you know, 2073 01:44:25,160 --> 01:44:28,880 Speaker 2: this person can't rap because they're not black. This person 2074 01:44:28,920 --> 01:44:32,960 Speaker 2: can this person I don't fuck with them, So I 2075 01:44:33,040 --> 01:44:35,400 Speaker 2: need to get every whole culture of people that don't 2076 01:44:35,400 --> 01:44:39,040 Speaker 2: fuck with this person. The stuff where we can criticize 2077 01:44:39,080 --> 01:44:42,200 Speaker 2: and shit on white women's bodies, because people have shipped 2078 01:44:42,200 --> 01:44:45,599 Speaker 2: on black women's bodies as if somehow they were right 2079 01:44:45,640 --> 01:44:47,040 Speaker 2: in the first place.

It's a 2090 01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:20,320 Speaker 2: luxury essentially to be able to afford that. And then ultimately, 2091 01:45:20,560 --> 01:45:23,320 Speaker 2: when it comes to these hard hearted attitudes, the people 2092 01:45:23,360 --> 01:45:26,760 Speaker 2: that pay the price are us because other people are 2093 01:45:26,800 --> 01:45:29,960 Speaker 2: protecting and insulated from our fury.

And I understand it's coming 2119 01:46:43,400 --> 01:46:47,679 Speaker 1: from hurt and pain and anger and sadness and white 2120 01:46:47,680 --> 01:46:52,000 Speaker 1: supremacy and being oppressed, like I do understand these feelings 2121 01:46:52,000 --> 01:46:55,240 Speaker 1: and that that's a mixed bags of feelings, you know, 2122 01:46:55,439 --> 01:47:00,880 Speaker 1: the the uh an emotional emotional creatures aren't meant to 2123 01:47:00,960 --> 01:47:04,200 Speaker 1: have all these feelings balled up at once, because that's 2124 01:47:04,240 --> 01:47:07,200 Speaker 1: all this is a bunch of emotion inspearing out all 2125 01:47:07,240 --> 01:47:09,639 Speaker 1: at once, and in my opinion, that's how you get 2126 01:47:09,840 --> 01:47:11,960 Speaker 1: and it's immediate, right right, and that's how you get 2127 01:47:11,960 --> 01:47:13,880 Speaker 1: to these points. And that's why a lot of times 2128 01:47:14,760 --> 01:47:17,760 Speaker 1: when I get mad or angry or upset and have 2129 01:47:17,840 --> 01:47:20,559 Speaker 1: all these feelings, a lot of times something put out 2130 01:47:20,600 --> 01:47:24,160 Speaker 1: this because online and social media allows you to put 2131 01:47:24,200 --> 01:47:28,519 Speaker 1: out your instant feelings unfiltered. That's the problem. Like I'm 2132 01:47:28,520 --> 01:47:30,400 Speaker 1: just keeping red, that's probably. It allows you to put 2133 01:47:30,400 --> 01:47:34,960 Speaker 1: out your hot takes immediately or or whatever hits your 2134 01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:38,360 Speaker 1: brain or however you feel it is immediately here it is. 2135 01:47:38,479 --> 01:47:40,679 Speaker 1: But in reality, you need to actually filter that shit. 2136 01:47:40,800 --> 01:47:42,720 Speaker 1: You need to think about it, you need to analyze it, 2137 01:47:42,800 --> 01:47:46,040 Speaker 1: use your critical thinking skills. Ask yourself why, because a 2138 01:47:46,040 --> 01:47:48,799 Speaker 1: lot of times, if you're a reasonable and rational person, 2139 01:47:49,479 --> 01:47:52,360 Speaker 1: you will come to the conclusion a completely different way. 2140 01:47:52,400 --> 01:47:54,120 Speaker 1: But what happens is that people put these hot takes 2141 01:47:54,120 --> 01:47:55,760 Speaker 1: out there, and then sometimes they regret it and don't 2142 01:47:55,760 --> 01:47:57,200 Speaker 1: always feel that way. But you said it, so you 2143 01:47:57,240 --> 01:47:58,160 Speaker 1: got to stick with that shit. 2144 01:47:58,640 --> 01:48:00,639 Speaker 2: And in a place where we try to make people 2145 01:48:00,680 --> 01:48:02,720 Speaker 2: stick to the worst thing they've ever said or done, 2146 01:48:02,840 --> 01:48:05,720 Speaker 2: correct any mistake you've made, any comment that wasn't one 2147 01:48:05,760 --> 01:48:08,600 Speaker 2: hundred percent on point. We want to hold you there because. 2148 01:48:08,320 --> 01:48:09,920 Speaker 3: There's a power in holding you there. 2149 01:48:11,600 --> 01:48:13,720 Speaker 2: Like this is like, I'm a person that believes in 2150 01:48:13,760 --> 01:48:15,760 Speaker 2: prison reform, But one of the reasons I don't talk 2151 01:48:15,760 --> 01:48:18,840 Speaker 2: about prison abolition and shit online is because most of 2152 01:48:18,840 --> 01:48:22,599 Speaker 2: these motherfuckers is fake. They's some fake ass mother they 2153 01:48:22,840 --> 01:48:25,840 Speaker 2: like they say one thing, but then you look at 2154 01:48:25,840 --> 01:48:28,719 Speaker 2: how they behave. Man, Nah, you don't treat black people 2155 01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:32,320 Speaker 2: well in general, and yet I'm supposed to believe you 2156 01:48:32,320 --> 01:48:35,640 Speaker 2: you really want people free, Like you can't even like 2157 01:48:35,720 --> 01:48:38,200 Speaker 2: let a nigg out of Twitter jail love Twitter block, 2158 01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:41,200 Speaker 2: but you But I'm supposed to believe that this is 2159 01:48:41,680 --> 01:48:44,799 Speaker 2: your dog went out, you know, Like it's like it's fake, 2160 01:48:45,520 --> 01:48:47,920 Speaker 2: Like you're spending all day ranting about fucking celebrities like 2161 01:48:47,960 --> 01:48:51,240 Speaker 2: that's work. That's not work, you know what I mean. 2162 01:48:51,320 --> 01:48:53,599 Speaker 2: Like it's that kind of shit that that you know, 2163 01:48:53,760 --> 01:48:56,840 Speaker 2: that just infuriates me. It's like when people that were 2164 01:48:56,920 --> 01:49:01,080 Speaker 2: like quote unquote socialists online, but they're form of socialism 2165 01:49:01,280 --> 01:49:04,920 Speaker 2: was finding anyone who said anything positive about anyone that 2166 01:49:05,040 --> 01:49:07,479 Speaker 2: wasn't Bernie Sanders and taking them the task. That's not 2167 01:49:07,640 --> 01:49:10,120 Speaker 2: I don't fuck with you, you know, I don't. I'm 2168 01:49:10,160 --> 01:49:11,519 Speaker 2: not looking at you and being like, what a great 2169 01:49:11,520 --> 01:49:13,320 Speaker 2: example of socialism. I'm looking at you and being like, 2170 01:49:13,360 --> 01:49:15,040 Speaker 2: what a fool you know? 2171 01:49:15,439 --> 01:49:19,800 Speaker 1: Anyway, I know, And like I said, it's one of 2172 01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:22,120 Speaker 1: those things where you can actually see it. And one 2173 01:49:22,160 --> 01:49:24,120 Speaker 1: more thing, while I'm thinking about it, I want to 2174 01:49:24,160 --> 01:49:27,720 Speaker 1: go back to something about like happiness and and shit 2175 01:49:27,880 --> 01:49:31,639 Speaker 1: like this the same energy and maybe and I might 2176 01:49:31,640 --> 01:49:34,080 Speaker 1: be wrong, but this is how I feel. The same energy, 2177 01:49:34,280 --> 01:49:37,960 Speaker 1: the same effort, the same motivations quote unquote that people 2178 01:49:38,000 --> 01:49:40,559 Speaker 1: put into fight and distilling my joy. It's the same 2179 01:49:40,680 --> 01:49:43,200 Speaker 1: energy and the same motivation I put into keeping it. 2180 01:49:43,360 --> 01:49:49,439 Speaker 1: That's why I am very I gotta say, that's why, 2181 01:49:49,680 --> 01:49:52,920 Speaker 1: that's why I sound angry about my happiness, because I'm like, 2182 01:49:53,120 --> 01:49:56,280 Speaker 1: what you won't steal from me? Is this like like 2183 01:49:56,840 --> 01:49:58,599 Speaker 1: their whole job. A lot a lot of people are 2184 01:49:58,600 --> 01:50:00,000 Speaker 1: realizing a lot of people are trapped in the whole 2185 01:50:00,080 --> 01:50:02,719 Speaker 1: but they don't realize their whole job is to steal 2186 01:50:02,720 --> 01:50:05,200 Speaker 1: your joy. Like that's their thing. They're out there literally, 2187 01:50:05,400 --> 01:50:08,479 Speaker 1: their whole purpose for glogging online is to steal your 2188 01:50:08,560 --> 01:50:11,519 Speaker 1: joy because they're unhappy. Like like like, so I've come 2189 01:50:11,560 --> 01:50:13,519 Speaker 1: to that conclusion, and a lot of people do not 2190 01:50:13,600 --> 01:50:17,960 Speaker 1: think if somebody's always angry, always mad, always always always always, always, 2191 01:50:18,040 --> 01:50:20,720 Speaker 1: always always, they never turn off. You never see them 2192 01:50:20,800 --> 01:50:23,160 Speaker 1: liking shit, you never see them loving shit. You don't 2193 01:50:23,200 --> 01:50:25,400 Speaker 1: even see a fucking picture of a cat on on 2194 01:50:25,560 --> 01:50:29,240 Speaker 1: their social media. They're always on one hundred percent. They 2195 01:50:29,280 --> 01:50:32,240 Speaker 1: don't realize whether they know it, and unknowingly they are 2196 01:50:32,360 --> 01:50:34,880 Speaker 1: whole purpose. Their whole purpose is stealing and sucking the 2197 01:50:34,960 --> 01:50:37,080 Speaker 1: joy out of everything around them because they have a 2198 01:50:37,080 --> 01:50:39,760 Speaker 1: black hole that cannot be felled. So my thing is 2199 01:50:39,800 --> 01:50:41,920 Speaker 1: the same amount of energy and effort that they put 2200 01:50:41,960 --> 01:50:44,880 Speaker 1: into this bitterness and this sadness and stuff like that. 2201 01:50:45,120 --> 01:50:47,160 Speaker 1: I have to fight just as hard. And the reason 2202 01:50:47,160 --> 01:50:49,559 Speaker 1: why is because if I don't fight as hard, I 2203 01:50:49,640 --> 01:50:52,320 Speaker 1: will get sucked into this too, and before you know it, 2204 01:50:52,520 --> 01:50:54,880 Speaker 1: I will be over them with them. And that's the thing. 2205 01:50:54,960 --> 01:50:57,280 Speaker 1: A lot of people who used to be bright and cheering, 2206 01:50:57,320 --> 01:50:59,320 Speaker 1: You've seen it happen over the years and happiness. All 2207 01:50:59,320 --> 01:51:01,960 Speaker 1: of a sudden, you seen them shift and you see 2208 01:51:02,040 --> 01:51:04,280 Speaker 1: this kind of darkness on them where they're angry all 2209 01:51:04,320 --> 01:51:06,800 Speaker 1: the time. That's because people allow people to influence them, 2210 01:51:06,800 --> 01:51:09,040 Speaker 1: which I understand, but you have to be aware and 2211 01:51:09,040 --> 01:51:11,160 Speaker 1: you have to be alert other people around you and 2212 01:51:11,200 --> 01:51:13,880 Speaker 1: the energy that they suck from you and the energy 2213 01:51:13,880 --> 01:51:16,360 Speaker 1: that they give to you. That shit matters. And it 2214 01:51:16,400 --> 01:51:18,720 Speaker 1: happens a lot on social media. And like you said, 2215 01:51:18,760 --> 01:51:21,559 Speaker 1: when you look and you see things, these things impact you. 2216 01:51:21,760 --> 01:51:24,720 Speaker 1: They impact you more than you will ever think. They 2217 01:51:24,800 --> 01:51:28,400 Speaker 1: impact you. All the videos, people getting angry, people reposting, 2218 01:51:28,479 --> 01:51:31,920 Speaker 1: people retweeting. They affect your mind, They affect your spirit, 2219 01:51:32,160 --> 01:51:35,439 Speaker 1: They affect your household, they affect your children, they affect 2220 01:51:35,439 --> 01:51:37,720 Speaker 1: your mate. You don't think of it about it like that, 2221 01:51:37,760 --> 01:51:39,960 Speaker 1: because if you spend a lot of time online like 2222 01:51:40,000 --> 01:51:44,720 Speaker 1: this and you find these things affecting you emotionally, guess 2223 01:51:44,800 --> 01:51:47,439 Speaker 1: what people around you are going to be impacted by 2224 01:51:47,520 --> 01:51:50,560 Speaker 1: how you feel. Next thing, you know, you got an attitude 2225 01:51:50,479 --> 01:51:52,439 Speaker 1: with your child. Your child didn't do nothing. Next thing, 2226 01:51:52,439 --> 01:51:54,479 Speaker 1: you know, you got a attitude with your mate. These 2227 01:51:54,520 --> 01:51:57,600 Speaker 1: things go from online to real life and that's the 2228 01:51:57,640 --> 01:51:59,679 Speaker 1: reality of it. And next thing, you know, you're mad 2229 01:51:59,680 --> 01:52:02,280 Speaker 1: online and every time online on top you mad in 2230 01:52:02,320 --> 01:52:03,840 Speaker 1: real life all the time. And for you know, you 2231 01:52:03,920 --> 01:52:07,400 Speaker 1: have no joy in your life. And I'm like fuck that. 2232 01:52:07,479 --> 01:52:10,200 Speaker 1: I am a happy person. I try my best to 2233 01:52:10,200 --> 01:52:12,720 Speaker 1: be happy. You know, I try my best to be 2234 01:52:12,800 --> 01:52:15,200 Speaker 1: in a positive place. And then see, that's the thing. 2235 01:52:15,520 --> 01:52:17,400 Speaker 1: People that are positive a lot of times they don't 2236 01:52:17,400 --> 01:52:20,360 Speaker 1: fail to realize that you have to fight for that positivity. 2237 01:52:20,640 --> 01:52:22,280 Speaker 1: And a lot of times we are the quickest to 2238 01:52:22,280 --> 01:52:24,639 Speaker 1: give up, like people that are happy all the time. 2239 01:52:24,680 --> 01:52:27,639 Speaker 1: And no, you know, so, no, no, it's not okay. 2240 01:52:27,880 --> 01:52:30,920 Speaker 1: It's not okay for you to suck my happiness away. 2241 01:52:31,160 --> 01:52:34,920 Speaker 1: It's not okay for you to strip me up of 2242 01:52:34,960 --> 01:52:38,240 Speaker 1: the foundation of who I am, you know. And I 2243 01:52:38,280 --> 01:52:40,960 Speaker 1: think if a lot of more people for their happiness, 2244 01:52:41,040 --> 01:52:43,160 Speaker 1: you wouldn't have these motherfuckers still in the joy all 2245 01:52:43,200 --> 01:52:46,479 Speaker 1: the time. It's like it's not even yeah. 2246 01:52:46,520 --> 01:52:51,880 Speaker 2: And I think also misery loves company, right, And we're 2247 01:52:51,880 --> 01:52:55,599 Speaker 2: talking about social media, social networking. The whole point of 2248 01:52:55,640 --> 01:52:59,799 Speaker 2: that is to spread your influence, and so misery spreads 2249 01:53:00,640 --> 01:53:04,519 Speaker 2: and just because someone's miserable and they are begging you 2250 01:53:04,560 --> 01:53:05,040 Speaker 2: for company. 2251 01:53:05,120 --> 01:53:07,000 Speaker 3: And I don't mean people think misery. 2252 01:53:06,760 --> 01:53:09,760 Speaker 2: Loves company means like I'm sad, let me find other 2253 01:53:09,840 --> 01:53:12,720 Speaker 2: sad people. No, sometimes it means I'm sad, let me 2254 01:53:12,800 --> 01:53:15,840 Speaker 2: make other people sad. Correct, you know, misery loves coming. 2255 01:53:15,840 --> 01:53:18,799 Speaker 2: I'm miserable. I'm gonna make you miserable. Now we're both miserable. 2256 01:53:18,800 --> 01:53:22,240 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter that you're that, it doesn't matter whatever 2257 01:53:22,280 --> 01:53:24,960 Speaker 2: it is. I need you to feel like life sucks 2258 01:53:24,960 --> 01:53:27,720 Speaker 2: because of my life sucks. That's a real thing. It's 2259 01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:30,240 Speaker 2: why these motherfuckers fill out, spend out, They dragging people 2260 01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:34,160 Speaker 2: and shit and and then calling it, you know, anything 2261 01:53:34,200 --> 01:53:38,000 Speaker 2: but the harassment that it is correct. But and then 2262 01:53:38,040 --> 01:53:40,519 Speaker 2: they rejoice when they find out they made these people miserable. 2263 01:53:41,160 --> 01:53:44,240 Speaker 2: Like I said, man, when I A big turning point 2264 01:53:44,280 --> 01:53:48,760 Speaker 2: for me was when I saw the footage of the 2265 01:53:49,200 --> 01:53:51,320 Speaker 2: I don't even know it's probably as Breakfast Club, who 2266 01:53:51,320 --> 01:53:52,920 Speaker 2: knows what fucking show it was, but it was some 2267 01:53:53,080 --> 01:53:56,320 Speaker 2: interview Gena Rodriguez was given after she had been called 2268 01:53:56,360 --> 01:53:59,320 Speaker 2: anti black and dragged on Twitter and shit, and she 2269 01:53:59,520 --> 01:54:02,439 Speaker 2: was crying, and I remember, you know, as an impath, 2270 01:54:02,479 --> 01:54:07,400 Speaker 2: I remember being like, well, fuck that that ordeal made 2271 01:54:07,479 --> 01:54:10,639 Speaker 2: up pretty sad, and she still sounded kind of clueless, 2272 01:54:10,640 --> 01:54:12,960 Speaker 2: like she didn't get it, which is another reason I 2273 01:54:12,960 --> 01:54:16,519 Speaker 2: think dragging people is probably the least people like to 2274 01:54:17,080 --> 01:54:20,200 Speaker 2: act like elevated to this form of education.

Like that's not how they 2281 01:54:37,360 --> 01:54:41,760 Speaker 2: teach you calculus right anyway, But when she was crying, 2282 01:54:41,960 --> 01:54:46,480 Speaker 2: I saw people say, well, she's not really sad. Oh 2283 01:54:46,520 --> 01:54:49,520 Speaker 2: she's faking it, crocodile tears. Oh she's just doing that 2284 01:54:49,560 --> 01:54:52,720 Speaker 2: white woman tears, stuff like that. And I thought to myself, 2285 01:54:52,720 --> 01:54:57,240 Speaker 2: but what if she is really hurt? You have to 2286 01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:01,680 Speaker 2: believe she's not right, because if you believe that she 2287 01:55:01,960 --> 01:55:04,280 Speaker 2: is hurt by what you did, then you had to 2288 01:55:04,360 --> 01:55:07,760 Speaker 2: admit what you did was to hurt her. You did 2289 01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:10,840 Speaker 2: not do it to educate her, or to make things 2290 01:55:10,920 --> 01:55:13,520 Speaker 2: better or any of these reasons. You did it because 2291 01:55:13,520 --> 01:55:16,240 Speaker 2: you're miserable and hurt in your own way, and you 2292 01:55:16,280 --> 01:55:19,120 Speaker 2: would like to spread that hurt onto the next person. 2293 01:55:19,760 --> 01:55:21,640 Speaker 2: And that was a big turning point for me because 2294 01:55:21,640 --> 01:55:24,960 Speaker 2: I watched people that I thought were otherwise reasonable say 2295 01:55:25,080 --> 01:55:26,800 Speaker 2: that they didn't give a fuck about this shit, and 2296 01:55:26,880 --> 01:55:30,040 Speaker 2: I was like, I'm not telling you. You gotta be like, well, 2297 01:55:30,120 --> 01:55:33,160 Speaker 2: I was wrong to disagree with her original point, but 2298 01:55:33,200 --> 01:55:35,160 Speaker 2: maybe you were wrong in the way you went about it, 2299 01:55:35,200 --> 01:55:39,640 Speaker 2: because the fucking point is to injure the party. Then 2300 01:55:39,760 --> 01:55:42,880 Speaker 2: stop pretending that it's not correct, you know. And I 2301 01:55:42,920 --> 01:55:45,080 Speaker 2: think that was a big thing for me, was being like, oh, 2302 01:55:45,200 --> 01:55:49,280 Speaker 2: y'all are miserable, and now you're happy that she's miserable. 2303 01:55:49,760 --> 01:55:51,760 Speaker 2: That was the only thing that could make you happy. 2304 01:55:51,960 --> 01:55:54,040 Speaker 2: And the worst thing she probably did was show that 2305 01:55:54,080 --> 01:55:57,440 Speaker 2: she had some side of her that was like affected 2306 01:55:57,480 --> 01:56:00,120 Speaker 2: by this shit. Because once you do that, they never 2307 01:56:00,240 --> 01:56:01,440 Speaker 2: They're never off your ass. 2308 01:56:01,560 --> 01:56:03,360 Speaker 1: Nope, they never off your ass. And that's why they 2309 01:56:03,360 --> 01:56:05,720 Speaker 1: don't go after the motherfuckers. They be like, don't give 2310 01:56:05,760 --> 01:56:06,720 Speaker 1: a fuck about y'all. 2311 01:56:06,760 --> 01:56:10,200 Speaker 2: Right, little daval is living his best life.

Let 2461 02:02:45,600 --> 02:02:48,080 Speaker 2: y'all know. I wanted to comment on a couple other 2462 02:02:48,080 --> 02:02:50,040 Speaker 2: episodes where I realized I was damned near two weeks 2463 02:02:50,040 --> 02:02:52,120 Speaker 2: behind the side against it. Take care of I'm going 2464 02:02:52,160 --> 02:02:53,880 Speaker 2: to get caught up. Some love you, bof T smoke, 2465 02:02:53,960 --> 02:02:58,400 Speaker 2: thank you. Yeah, I'll say this, man, I listened to 2466 02:02:58,400 --> 02:03:01,880 Speaker 2: that joint and it was sad. It's kind of sad 2467 02:03:01,920 --> 02:03:03,480 Speaker 2: that she just don't seem to have a lot of 2468 02:03:03,480 --> 02:03:06,680 Speaker 2: self awareness. I was more like, I wonder if she 2469 02:03:06,760 --> 02:03:09,360 Speaker 2: only got that job because she went out there before 2470 02:03:09,360 --> 02:03:12,520 Speaker 2: people got to know her, because it seemed like everywhere 2471 02:03:12,560 --> 02:03:14,320 Speaker 2: she goes people once they get to know her, it 2472 02:03:14,520 --> 02:03:16,640 Speaker 2: becomes a community of people that don't fuck with her. 2473 02:03:17,400 --> 02:03:21,400 Speaker 2: And I mean that can't be a coincidence everywhere, you 2474 02:03:21,440 --> 02:03:23,920 Speaker 2: know what I mean, Like, I don't diagnose people and shit, 2475 02:03:24,000 --> 02:03:27,960 Speaker 2: but some was not some's not right there. But good luck, man. 2476 02:03:27,960 --> 02:03:30,400 Speaker 2: She still seems to be, you know, succeeding and making 2477 02:03:30,400 --> 02:03:34,280 Speaker 2: a living doing what she do, despite whatever personality flaws 2478 02:03:34,320 --> 02:03:38,600 Speaker 2: people may perceive her to have, you know. So I 2479 02:03:39,240 --> 02:03:41,440 Speaker 2: just think I think she's guilty of what a lot 2480 02:03:41,480 --> 02:03:44,240 Speaker 2: of people do, which is whenever they are fucked up 2481 02:03:44,280 --> 02:03:46,200 Speaker 2: or have a personal vendett or they couched in a 2482 02:03:46,200 --> 02:03:49,440 Speaker 2: bunch of activism words. Because we all have big words now, 2483 02:03:49,960 --> 02:03:52,280 Speaker 2: and you can still make a case why you're right 2484 02:03:52,320 --> 02:03:54,280 Speaker 2: and everyone's wrong if you just throw the right words 2485 02:03:54,320 --> 02:03:59,960 Speaker 2: around support professionalism. You know, and you're ending your podcast 2486 02:04:00,080 --> 02:04:02,480 Speaker 2: yelling how you're smarter than everybody and shit like that. 2487 02:04:02,520 --> 02:04:05,800 Speaker 2: It's like, yeah, you don't sound like this is the 2488 02:04:05,840 --> 02:04:10,400 Speaker 2: smartest thing you could have done. Rebecca says, good morning riding, Karen. 2489 02:04:10,800 --> 02:04:12,880 Speaker 2: I haven't even listened to the whole podcast yet.

Fish Lives Matter feedback, 2510 02:05:04,040 --> 02:05:06,600 Speaker 2: Crystal says, I had to stop and write while listening 2511 02:05:06,680 --> 02:05:08,880 Speaker 2: regarding the unfortunate police killing of the young woman at 2512 02:05:08,920 --> 02:05:12,919 Speaker 2: Fort Worth. She was a Exavier a graduate, a university graduate. 2513 02:05:13,120 --> 02:05:15,640 Speaker 2: A lot of the alumni are very saddened by the loss. 2514 02:05:15,680 --> 02:05:18,040 Speaker 2: But also a Facebook friend share how people keep posting, 2515 02:05:18,080 --> 02:05:19,680 Speaker 2: do not call the police to check up on me? 2516 02:05:19,960 --> 02:05:22,480 Speaker 2: And unfortunately his brother had a similar situation, but it 2517 02:05:22,560 --> 02:05:24,920 Speaker 2: ended differently. His family was worried about him and his 2518 02:05:24,960 --> 02:05:27,040 Speaker 2: mental state. No history of mental illness, and he was 2519 02:05:27,280 --> 02:05:30,280 Speaker 2: a psychiatrist, but he had made statements that worried them. 2520 02:05:30,280 --> 02:05:32,000 Speaker 2: They called a police for a wellness check and he 2521 02:05:32,080 --> 02:05:34,320 Speaker 2: was fine, but a few days later they hadn't heard 2522 02:05:34,320 --> 02:05:36,600 Speaker 2: from him. They hesitated to request another wellness check because 2523 02:05:36,600 --> 02:05:38,280 Speaker 2: of the history of police and this type of stuff 2524 02:05:38,640 --> 02:05:40,400 Speaker 2: by the time they decided to do another one, he 2525 02:05:40,440 --> 02:05:43,480 Speaker 2: had committed suicide. I felt saddened by the story and 2526 02:05:43,520 --> 02:05:46,320 Speaker 2: realized people request these wellness checks out of genuine concern. 2527 02:05:46,880 --> 02:05:48,880 Speaker 2: It is literally like you're between a rock and a 2528 02:05:48,880 --> 02:05:51,080 Speaker 2: hard place. Do you mind your own business? Do you 2529 02:05:51,120 --> 02:05:54,200 Speaker 2: go over and check and possibly be harmed? Do you 2530 02:05:54,200 --> 02:05:57,160 Speaker 2: sit and wait? Just wanted to give the other side 2531 02:05:57,200 --> 02:05:59,720 Speaker 2: of the coin. Look for others who keep posting the 2532 02:06:00,000 --> 02:06:02,440 Speaker 2: Sicholas means every time something happens, and I get it, 2533 02:06:02,600 --> 02:06:04,680 Speaker 2: they are hurt and angry, but it also places to 2534 02:06:04,680 --> 02:06:07,040 Speaker 2: blame on a person who was actually concerned. Thank you, 2535 02:06:07,920 --> 02:06:12,400 Speaker 2: thank you. It's just bigger than that, man, I understand. Look, 2536 02:06:12,440 --> 02:06:14,840 Speaker 2: by the time any black person is considering calling the 2537 02:06:14,840 --> 02:06:18,280 Speaker 2: police for any reason, we're obviously in a bad situation. 2538 02:06:19,200 --> 02:06:21,520 Speaker 2: Cause you know, it's pretty much never the first thing 2539 02:06:21,560 --> 02:06:24,320 Speaker 2: on any black person's mind. I would like to get 2540 02:06:24,560 --> 02:06:27,880 Speaker 2: law enforcement involved in whatever the situation is that's about 2541 02:06:27,920 --> 02:06:31,440 Speaker 2: to happen. So anytime that happens, you know that it's 2542 02:06:31,480 --> 02:06:34,880 Speaker 2: like unless the person's maliciously calling the cops, like you know, 2543 02:06:35,680 --> 02:06:38,160 Speaker 2: South Park, Susan or some shit like come on now, 2544 02:06:40,480 --> 02:06:43,080 Speaker 2: I can't believe people try to anyway, all right, hello 2545 02:06:43,160 --> 02:06:45,680 Speaker 2: again Roder Carrien's from Rebecca for part two for nineteen 2546 02:06:45,720 --> 02:06:47,840 Speaker 2: seventy seven. I knew I should have listened to the 2547 02:06:47,840 --> 02:06:49,760 Speaker 2: whole podcast for sending out my email, but here I 2548 02:06:49,800 --> 02:06:52,640 Speaker 2: am for round two. You're talking about the China NBA controversy, 2549 02:06:52,640 --> 02:06:54,240 Speaker 2: and I was gonna let it go if you pulled 2550 02:06:54,280 --> 02:06:57,240 Speaker 2: out the PlayStation example. I couldn't help myself. Blizzard, I 2551 02:06:57,360 --> 02:07:01,640 Speaker 2: e Herstone World of Warcraft has itself until we talked 2552 02:07:01,640 --> 02:07:03,200 Speaker 2: about this on the nerd off up to a can 2553 02:07:03,200 --> 02:07:05,480 Speaker 2: of worms with China, much like the NBA did. 2554 02:07:05,520 --> 02:07:08,320 Speaker 3: Blizzard is huge in China, far more than they are here. 2555 02:07:08,560 --> 02:07:11,000 Speaker 2: During one of the live broadcasting of a Herdstone competition, 2556 02:07:11,080 --> 02:07:13,960 Speaker 2: the champion, upon winning the tournament, wore a face mask 2557 02:07:14,040 --> 02:07:16,800 Speaker 2: that was prohibited by China and gave a call out 2558 02:07:16,840 --> 02:07:19,640 Speaker 2: to the tech protesters in Hong Kong, saying he's still 2559 02:07:19,680 --> 02:07:23,120 Speaker 2: behind them. Blizzard immediately stripped him of his title, his winnings, 2560 02:07:23,160 --> 02:07:25,600 Speaker 2: and gave him a permanent band from the game. The 2561 02:07:25,640 --> 02:07:27,800 Speaker 2: Game of community in turn lost their shit. Now it 2562 02:07:28,480 --> 02:07:31,600 Speaker 2: is in the contract of the competition that Blizzard has 2563 02:07:31,640 --> 02:07:33,120 Speaker 2: the right to do this, and the winner in the 2564 02:07:33,200 --> 02:07:35,360 Speaker 2: interview afterwards, stated that he knew this would happen and 2565 02:07:35,440 --> 02:07:37,800 Speaker 2: chose to speak out anyway, but the Game of community 2566 02:07:37,840 --> 02:07:41,640 Speaker 2: heard none of this. People were canceling Blizzard left and right. 2567 02:07:41,680 --> 02:07:44,600 Speaker 2: Now Blizzard has changed its tune. They reinstated the title 2568 02:07:44,680 --> 02:07:46,680 Speaker 2: and the winnings, and now he only has a one 2569 02:07:46,760 --> 02:07:49,280 Speaker 2: year bad from joining the competition. It will be interesting 2570 02:07:49,280 --> 02:07:52,160 Speaker 2: to see what China does now. Everybody scared of the 2571 02:07:52,160 --> 02:07:55,160 Speaker 2: motherfucking China dog. They hit that switch and Blizzard no 2572 02:07:55,240 --> 02:07:58,520 Speaker 2: more come on. The thing I found from is when 2573 02:07:58,520 --> 02:08:00,840 Speaker 2: the employeers get involved, like yeah, the speech, because I'm 2574 02:08:00,840 --> 02:08:03,680 Speaker 2: always like, let them cut off that revenue and let's 2575 02:08:03,720 --> 02:08:09,120 Speaker 2: see what they come to you and be like, well, 2576 02:08:10,120 --> 02:08:11,640 Speaker 2: y'all got to go. I just want you to know 2577 02:08:11,800 --> 02:08:15,520 Speaker 2: we did stand up to China and freedom of speech, okay, 2578 02:08:15,720 --> 02:08:17,600 Speaker 2: just like y'all want it all right, Thank you guys, 2579 02:08:17,680 --> 02:08:21,400 Speaker 2: thank you, Okay, we support the protesters. Everybody start clapping, 2580 02:08:21,400 --> 02:08:24,360 Speaker 2: and they'd be like, all right, that being said, we're 2581 02:08:24,360 --> 02:08:26,520 Speaker 2: gonna have to lay off fifty percent of that was 2582 02:08:27,280 --> 02:08:29,440 Speaker 2: I know, what's half of the income? Guys, don't We're 2583 02:08:29,520 --> 02:08:31,560 Speaker 2: not as being in America as you guys like to think. 2584 02:08:31,600 --> 02:08:35,800 Speaker 2: All Right, trying to decided no more Blizzard games in China, 2585 02:08:35,960 --> 02:08:38,680 Speaker 2: which was our huge source of revenue. So half of 2586 02:08:38,720 --> 02:08:41,360 Speaker 2: y'all don't got a job no more. But take your 2587 02:08:41,360 --> 02:08:44,080 Speaker 2: protest signs with you. We were stood up to the man. Everybody. 2588 02:08:44,120 --> 02:08:48,560 Speaker 2: We did it together. But you know, good luck. What 2589 02:08:48,720 --> 02:08:50,320 Speaker 2: is being lost here is what you said, trying to 2590 02:08:50,320 --> 02:08:52,680 Speaker 2: conflict the switch on any business side that country whenever 2591 02:08:52,680 --> 02:08:55,200 Speaker 2: they deemed fit. While Blizzard is keeping the bottom line 2592 02:08:55,200 --> 02:08:57,560 Speaker 2: in mind, there's also a direct correlation and keeping that 2593 02:08:57,640 --> 02:08:59,200 Speaker 2: trying to play a fan base in mind. 2594 02:08:59,440 --> 02:09:02,280 Speaker 3: Yep, that base would lose everything they've invested in. 2595 02:09:02,320 --> 02:09:05,160 Speaker 2: Ie money and time, and their government wouldn't think twice 2596 02:09:05,240 --> 02:09:08,080 Speaker 2: twice about shutting the whole thing down. It's tricky business 2597 02:09:08,080 --> 02:09:10,560 Speaker 2: with China, and they have the power to silence American companies. 2598 02:09:10,560 --> 02:09:13,280 Speaker 2: But in this outrage culture, things like nuance get lost. 2599 02:09:13,720 --> 02:09:16,360 Speaker 2: Sometimes Americans can't see past their own hypocrisy, and that 2600 02:09:16,440 --> 02:09:18,920 Speaker 2: is truly frustrating.

She knew she was 2707 02:14:43,680 --> 02:14:46,240 Speaker 2: a stand in Arihanna when she wrote in the article. 2708 02:14:46,680 --> 02:14:48,760 Speaker 2: So she was like, I feel like I'm ready to 2709 02:14:48,800 --> 02:14:51,480 Speaker 2: do this interview, even though I'm a little unprepared for 2710 02:14:51,480 --> 02:14:54,400 Speaker 2: this interview. And if the privilege is she was able 2711 02:14:54,440 --> 02:14:57,160 Speaker 2: to express that, I get it. But that's also why 2712 02:14:57,160 --> 02:15:00,360 Speaker 2: people like it, because you can express some vulnerability. It's 2713 02:15:00,440 --> 02:15:04,080 Speaker 2: actually fucked up that black people can't express vulnerability. It's 2714 02:15:04,120 --> 02:15:06,520 Speaker 2: not the other way around.

I really appreciate the 2845 02:21:27,879 --> 02:21:30,560 Speaker 2: conversation you guys had. Karen shared in her weight loss 2846 02:21:30,560 --> 02:21:32,840 Speaker 2: and health journey has been so motivating and I love 2847 02:21:32,920 --> 02:21:34,840 Speaker 2: hearing about it. Hearing it from two different journeys was 2848 02:21:34,879 --> 02:21:37,760 Speaker 2: motivating and putting things into perspective. Over the last few years, 2849 02:21:37,760 --> 02:21:39,760 Speaker 2: I've gained almost one hundred pounds, and a lot of 2850 02:21:39,760 --> 02:21:42,240 Speaker 2: it is due to a bad episode of depression. I've 2851 02:21:42,240 --> 02:21:44,680 Speaker 2: always struggled with my weight, but for a huge part 2852 02:21:44,760 --> 02:21:47,279 Speaker 2: of my late teens early twenties, I was in good shape. 2853 02:21:48,240 --> 02:21:50,800 Speaker 2: During that time, I always stayed around size ten or 2854 02:21:50,800 --> 02:21:53,960 Speaker 2: twelve plus. I'm tall. Despite being a healthy weight and size, 2855 02:21:54,000 --> 02:21:57,000 Speaker 2: I always felt fat. Now I'm the biggest I've ever been, 2856 02:21:57,040 --> 02:21:58,720 Speaker 2: and looking back, it makes me sad that I saw 2857 02:21:58,760 --> 02:22:01,640 Speaker 2: myself like that. It's because I had so many people 2858 02:22:01,640 --> 02:22:03,640 Speaker 2: pointing out that recent weight game, like I don't see 2859 02:22:03,640 --> 02:22:05,600 Speaker 2: it or feel it. Yeah, that's the worst, right, And 2860 02:22:05,680 --> 02:22:08,480 Speaker 2: the other solicited advice is annoying as hell too. I'm 2861 02:22:08,520 --> 02:22:11,920 Speaker 2: focused on blocking out all that noise anyway. I'm trying 2862 02:22:11,920 --> 02:22:14,080 Speaker 2: to love my body I have now while still working 2863 02:22:14,080 --> 02:22:16,360 Speaker 2: on losing weight being healthy. Yeah, that's the struggle for 2864 02:22:16,400 --> 02:22:19,160 Speaker 2: me too. You know, I think people think women have 2865 02:22:19,240 --> 02:22:22,039 Speaker 2: body issues and that's it, but you know, I know, 2866 02:22:22,080 --> 02:22:24,640 Speaker 2: it's definitely something I struggle with man, and it's definitely 2867 02:22:24,720 --> 02:22:28,560 Speaker 2: like a thing where especially as men, we don't talk 2868 02:22:28,600 --> 02:22:30,320 Speaker 2: about that shit. So it's not like I talk to 2869 02:22:30,360 --> 02:22:32,280 Speaker 2: any of my friends about it. It's just something I 2870 02:22:32,360 --> 02:22:38,760 Speaker 2: deal with inside. And it's also why like certain characters 2871 02:22:38,760 --> 02:22:41,400 Speaker 2: on TV shows and stuff that, like I gravitate to 2872 02:22:42,080 --> 02:22:44,080 Speaker 2: our root for them and stuff like that, because I 2873 02:22:44,120 --> 02:22:45,959 Speaker 2: see myself in that. But a lot of it is 2874 02:22:46,000 --> 02:22:48,720 Speaker 2: image stuff, Like I look at old pictures of myself 2875 02:22:48,720 --> 02:22:50,880 Speaker 2: and I'm like, why did I feel that way about myself? 2876 02:22:50,920 --> 02:22:53,879 Speaker 2: It's not you know, and am I doing it? Now, like, 2877 02:22:54,240 --> 02:22:56,280 Speaker 2: and how can I change that? Because it seemed like 2878 02:22:56,320 --> 02:22:59,160 Speaker 2: the feeling is the problem, right, you know, because I 2879 02:22:59,240 --> 02:23:03,760 Speaker 2: felt that way all the time, you know, so can 2880 02:23:03,840 --> 02:23:06,360 Speaker 2: reminds me to get back into running and yoga, two 2881 02:23:06,440 --> 02:23:08,400 Speaker 2: things I love to do when I was active.

It'll be 2910 02:24:26,360 --> 02:24:28,080 Speaker 2: interesting to see how this plays out in terms of 2911 02:24:28,160 --> 02:24:30,640 Speaker 2: other states adopting this model. As a former voter suppression, 2912 02:24:31,280 --> 02:24:33,880 Speaker 2: there are some advantages doing bursting the new technology though. 2913 02:24:33,920 --> 02:24:35,959 Speaker 2: Here in Michigan, instead of taking a number and sitting 2914 02:24:35,959 --> 02:24:38,000 Speaker 2: and waiting, they give you the option of taking your 2915 02:24:38,040 --> 02:24:40,480 Speaker 2: phone number and they send you text alerts to tell 2916 02:24:40,480 --> 02:24:42,920 Speaker 2: you what place in line you're in. That way you 2917 02:24:42,920 --> 02:24:45,000 Speaker 2: can leave and run errands and if you need if 2918 02:24:45,040 --> 02:24:47,320 Speaker 2: you need to. But because it's new, it's gonna take 2919 02:24:47,360 --> 02:24:49,280 Speaker 2: some time for folks to adjust it to the new 2920 02:24:49,280 --> 02:24:52,120 Speaker 2: way of doing things, and if you stay hadn't updated 2921 02:24:52,160 --> 02:24:54,480 Speaker 2: anything yet. This is one rule I've applied to always 2922 02:24:54,480 --> 02:24:56,520 Speaker 2: worked for me to cut down on wait times. I'd 2923 02:24:56,520 --> 02:24:59,279 Speaker 2: always show up like an hour before closing time, because 2924 02:24:59,320 --> 02:25:01,400 Speaker 2: that's what I do. Because suddenly all the clerks get 2925 02:25:01,400 --> 02:25:03,400 Speaker 2: off their asses. They are rushing to get everybody out 2926 02:25:03,440 --> 02:25:05,440 Speaker 2: so they can go home on time. I'm usually in 2927 02:25:05,480 --> 02:25:07,640 Speaker 2: and out in about fifteen minutes using that tactic. Y'all 2928 02:25:07,640 --> 02:25:10,680 Speaker 2: have a good one. That's my mood player, all. 2929 02:25:10,720 --> 02:25:12,520 Speaker 1: Right, because it's almost time to go home. 2930 02:25:12,840 --> 02:25:14,760 Speaker 2: I know. It's a reason I fucked with you. Mssrs Spaan, 2931 02:25:14,920 --> 02:25:18,959 Speaker 2: you smart. The real ID requirements were oh. He also 2932 02:25:18,959 --> 02:25:24,160 Speaker 2: wrote this. The real ID requirements were required for recommendations 2933 02:25:24,160 --> 02:25:25,640 Speaker 2: of the Not to eleven Commission as a way to 2934 02:25:25,640 --> 02:25:28,040 Speaker 2: secure travel and government buildings. They came up with the 2935 02:25:28,040 --> 02:25:30,280 Speaker 2: recommendations around two thousand and five, but the deadline for 2936 02:25:30,320 --> 02:25:32,480 Speaker 2: everyone to get it, I believe starts next year in 2937 02:25:32,560 --> 02:25:34,480 Speaker 2: terms of being able to travel to Canada and Mexico 2938 02:25:34,560 --> 02:25:37,640 Speaker 2: to board flights and the inner government buildings. Truthfully, unless 2939 02:25:37,680 --> 02:25:39,440 Speaker 2: you plan on doing those things, you may not even 2940 02:25:39,440 --> 02:25:42,280 Speaker 2: need the real ID endorsement. But they should have been 2941 02:25:42,320 --> 02:25:45,560 Speaker 2: informing people to changed long before this push, before the deadline. 2942 02:25:45,600 --> 02:25:48,039 Speaker 1: Of course, then they wouldn't have this hard as rush 2943 02:25:48,120 --> 02:25:49,120 Speaker 1: of people trying to get it. 2944 02:25:49,240 --> 02:25:50,320 Speaker 2: Yeah, do we have to get these? 2945 02:25:50,400 --> 02:25:53,840 Speaker 1: Then No, it's not off for every state because some 2946 02:25:54,080 --> 02:25:56,480 Speaker 1: because some states actually because they had like a new 2947 02:25:56,520 --> 02:26:00,800 Speaker 1: license requirement in some states, like a federal requirement, and 2948 02:26:00,879 --> 02:26:03,360 Speaker 1: some states met the requirement, in some states didn't. North 2949 02:26:03,360 --> 02:26:06,480 Speaker 1: Carolina actually met whatever the requirement was. So in the 2950 02:26:06,520 --> 02:26:09,680 Speaker 1: state of North Carolina, if you travel within the within 2951 02:26:09,720 --> 02:26:14,640 Speaker 1: the country, your ID, your regular driver's license is sufficient enough. Idea, 2952 02:26:14,720 --> 02:26:16,600 Speaker 1: you can use your passport if you have it. But 2953 02:26:16,640 --> 02:26:19,119 Speaker 1: in some states either you got to use your passport 2954 02:26:19,600 --> 02:26:21,480 Speaker 1: or either you have to get this real ID. It's 2955 02:26:21,520 --> 02:26:22,320 Speaker 1: not no other option. 2956 02:26:23,040 --> 02:26:26,480 Speaker 2: Eric writs in Feedback Show, Hey, y'all, I love you. 2957 02:26:26,560 --> 02:26:27,800 Speaker 2: I was sorry for the length. I have a couple 2958 02:26:27,800 --> 02:26:30,160 Speaker 2: of random comments. A question. Listen, don't worry about the left. 2959 02:26:30,240 --> 02:26:35,000 Speaker 2: It's Saturday and it's feedback times, y'all. Sign Number one 2960 02:26:35,200 --> 02:26:37,680 Speaker 2: I went through. I went looking through a Manda Seals 2961 02:26:37,680 --> 02:26:40,199 Speaker 2: podcast episodes, hoping to find episodes about the party drama. 2962 02:26:40,240 --> 02:26:42,920 Speaker 2: But it looks like they've been removed because no episodes 2963 02:26:43,040 --> 02:26:46,280 Speaker 2: after August twenty. Yeah, that's not true. Check your feed, 2964 02:26:46,959 --> 02:26:49,720 Speaker 2: your app, or whatever you're looking in. She literally had 2965 02:26:49,720 --> 02:26:52,920 Speaker 2: an episode with her LeVar Burton this week, so she's 2966 02:26:52,920 --> 02:26:55,439 Speaker 2: still putting out shows. It could just be something like that. 2967 02:26:57,680 --> 02:26:59,480 Speaker 3: Unless you deleted it. And I just didn't see because 2968 02:26:59,480 --> 02:27:01,200 Speaker 3: I already listen to him. But I don't know. 2969 02:27:01,240 --> 02:27:04,360 Speaker 2: I don't know she was that last joint sounded like 2970 02:27:04,360 --> 02:27:06,560 Speaker 2: it got a little spicy with the Insecure cast, and I. 2971 02:27:06,520 --> 02:27:09,920 Speaker 3: Do wonder now if everything's okay over there. 2972 02:27:10,360 --> 02:27:13,360 Speaker 2: But yeah, Number two, Karen's comments on the white people 2973 02:27:13,360 --> 02:27:16,760 Speaker 2: trying to save fish still have me laughing. I replayed 2974 02:27:16,760 --> 02:27:18,400 Speaker 2: them a couple of times. She basically spoke for the 2975 02:27:18,440 --> 02:27:20,560 Speaker 2: congregations because I swaw I was thinking the same thing. 2976 02:27:22,160 --> 02:27:24,240 Speaker 2: Number three. I started reading Locking Up Our Own and 2977 02:27:24,280 --> 02:27:26,520 Speaker 2: really enjoying it. He is so thorough and I love it. 2978 02:27:26,760 --> 02:27:28,800 Speaker 2: I want to be mad at the black politicians and 2979 02:27:28,879 --> 02:27:31,800 Speaker 2: legal professionals at that time, especially because they receive warnings 2980 02:27:31,840 --> 02:27:34,520 Speaker 2: from well meaning white people, but that's how the system 2981 02:27:34,520 --> 02:27:37,400 Speaker 2: of white supremacy works. We really don't know who to 2982 02:27:37,440 --> 02:27:39,720 Speaker 2: trust or how to severely or how severely things will 2983 02:27:39,720 --> 02:27:42,600 Speaker 2: affect us in the future. Unfortunately, often seems like white 2984 02:27:42,600 --> 02:27:44,600 Speaker 2: people are playing a long game that we can never 2985 02:27:44,640 --> 02:27:48,760 Speaker 2: play because we really do need the small wins. Yeah, man, 2986 02:27:49,440 --> 02:27:53,800 Speaker 2: I really suggest people. I really suggest people go and 2987 02:27:53,879 --> 02:27:56,800 Speaker 2: listen to read that book if they can, just for 2988 02:27:56,920 --> 02:28:00,480 Speaker 2: some context, so you can see people that we look 2989 02:28:00,560 --> 02:28:07,879 Speaker 2: up to now Maxine Waters, Marion, Barry, Eric Holder, Obama, 2990 02:28:08,320 --> 02:28:10,320 Speaker 2: and see some of the things that they've done and 2991 02:28:10,400 --> 02:28:13,959 Speaker 2: been like complicit in, and the ways they've tried to 2992 02:28:14,120 --> 02:28:16,560 Speaker 2: fix and all that stuff, and then just also see 2993 02:28:16,560 --> 02:28:19,760 Speaker 2: the circumstances that led them to thinking that everyone thinks 2994 02:28:20,240 --> 02:28:24,080 Speaker 2: politicians just fucking like get in office, pissed on the 2995 02:28:24,120 --> 02:28:26,360 Speaker 2: people and go fuck everybody, I'm doing what I want 2996 02:28:26,400 --> 02:28:29,160 Speaker 2: to do. And they just always skip over the fact 2997 02:28:29,160 --> 02:28:32,520 Speaker 2: that there's a mass of voters, many of them black, 2998 02:28:32,600 --> 02:28:37,040 Speaker 2: in these jurisdictions who want these things. We think they 2999 02:28:37,080 --> 02:28:40,160 Speaker 2: are solutions, and then we see on the back end 3000 02:28:40,240 --> 02:28:43,879 Speaker 2: the problems. You know, but it's not just starting like 3001 02:28:44,000 --> 02:28:46,240 Speaker 2: people just think it's a very simple thing and it's not. 3002 02:28:46,400 --> 02:28:49,200 Speaker 2: I wish people if you understand that, then you then 3003 02:28:49,480 --> 02:28:51,720 Speaker 2: the things you see happen today. You won't be so 3004 02:28:51,879 --> 02:28:54,520 Speaker 2: quick to just drop a hot take and be like, 3005 02:28:54,680 --> 02:28:59,560 Speaker 2: it's just this, No, it's not for I'm sure you 3006 02:28:59,640 --> 02:29:01,360 Speaker 2: play this full but can't wait to hear thoughts on 3007 02:29:01,360 --> 02:29:04,120 Speaker 2: to coach new book. I loved it. Theena was my 3008 02:29:04,120 --> 02:29:06,199 Speaker 2: favorite character. It seemed like most of the other slaves 3009 02:29:06,200 --> 02:29:08,800 Speaker 2: are written in the tradition store of struggle down trotting tone. 3010 02:29:09,120 --> 02:29:11,640 Speaker 2: They were written exploring shed light on the thoughts of humanity, 3011 02:29:11,720 --> 02:29:15,200 Speaker 2: slaves the mundaneus of just being human. But you got 3012 02:29:15,200 --> 02:29:17,240 Speaker 2: that anger and struggle for Thina. I haven't started. I 3013 02:29:17,240 --> 02:29:20,960 Speaker 2: haven't even started that book I read. 3014 02:29:22,160 --> 02:29:23,879 Speaker 3: Yeah, I finished Locking Up Our Own. 3015 02:29:24,040 --> 02:29:26,440 Speaker 2: I think I I mean, obviously I have that book, 3016 02:29:26,480 --> 02:29:31,440 Speaker 2: but I think I might read for Francesca Ramsey's book next. 3017 02:29:31,480 --> 02:29:36,080 Speaker 2: I'm already reading it, I already started it, but I 3018 02:29:36,120 --> 02:29:41,039 Speaker 2: might read her book next. I need something funny, like 3019 02:29:41,080 --> 02:29:44,440 Speaker 2: I need a break between all my black history and this, 3020 02:29:44,680 --> 02:29:46,400 Speaker 2: but just like a fun book. 3021 02:29:46,640 --> 02:29:46,800 Speaker 1: You know. 3022 02:29:46,840 --> 02:29:49,039 Speaker 2: If I don't do that, I'm gonna read one of 3023 02:29:49,080 --> 02:29:54,640 Speaker 2: my ratchet like you know, uh, you know, uh side 3024 02:29:54,720 --> 02:29:58,840 Speaker 2: check struggle books or something like that.

All hate to admit it, 3027 02:30:04,760 --> 02:30:06,800 Speaker 2: but it's hard for me to support other premium content 3028 02:30:07,080 --> 02:30:09,280 Speaker 2: because the quality just isn't there. I've noticed that so 3029 02:30:09,320 --> 02:30:13,080 Speaker 2: many other shows post subpart content episodes with premium subscribers. 3030 02:30:13,080 --> 02:30:15,520 Speaker 2: The sound quality difference from the main show. There's no editing. 3031 02:30:15,879 --> 02:30:17,120 Speaker 2: I know it's a lot of hard work, so I 3032 02:30:17,160 --> 02:30:19,480 Speaker 2: definitely appreciate you guys take the time and everything that 3033 02:30:19,520 --> 02:30:22,600 Speaker 2: you create.

But they got more than the poor blacks, 3215 02:39:26,680 --> 02:39:29,360 Speaker 2: and that's what a lot of people wanted.

I try not to get into 3234 02:40:20,640 --> 02:40:22,920 Speaker 2: it with Twitter and stuff, but in real life, man, 3235 02:40:23,720 --> 02:40:26,400 Speaker 2: I've had good interactions with police before, I've had bad 3236 02:40:26,440 --> 02:40:30,480 Speaker 2: ones too. You know, I do recognize a need for 3237 02:40:30,920 --> 02:40:34,840 Speaker 2: some sort of authority figure to intervene in certain situations. 3238 02:40:34,920 --> 02:40:36,600 Speaker 3: I don't know how it plays out. 3239 02:40:38,360 --> 02:40:41,720 Speaker 2: In every single situation, obviously, and not also recognize that 3240 02:40:41,840 --> 02:40:45,640 Speaker 2: some human beings are not gonna Not every police call 3241 02:40:45,760 --> 02:40:49,760 Speaker 2: is gonna end happily. You know, sometimes you really do 3242 02:40:49,840 --> 02:40:53,240 Speaker 2: have to, you know, protect yourself as a police officer 3243 02:40:53,400 --> 02:40:57,720 Speaker 2: or protect the public. But we just know through historically 3244 02:40:57,840 --> 02:41:00,760 Speaker 2: that the use of force has been a lined against 3245 02:41:00,840 --> 02:41:04,119 Speaker 2: us and many times uncalled for. So I get why 3246 02:41:04,160 --> 02:41:07,360 Speaker 2: people have trepidation around it. But some of the shit, man, 3247 02:41:07,360 --> 02:41:10,880 Speaker 2: it's just like, I don't know.

He was working to 3301 02:43:35,600 --> 02:43:37,600 Speaker 2: put a stop to some form of trauma, and yet 3302 02:43:37,640 --> 02:43:39,920 Speaker 2: he'll never see the fruit bear for his fight. He 3303 02:43:40,080 --> 02:43:42,120 Speaker 2: was sick for however long and kept it private. I 3304 02:43:42,160 --> 02:43:44,360 Speaker 2: haven't even seen folks like Joe and Mika in the 3305 02:43:44,400 --> 02:43:48,000 Speaker 2: morning and Joe talk about his passing. There been all 3306 02:43:48,040 --> 02:43:52,080 Speaker 2: Trump coverage. A logic Cummings presided over their wedding. Wow. Anyway, 3307 02:43:52,080 --> 02:43:55,080 Speaker 2: our warriors never see, never ever see that after math 3308 02:43:55,160 --> 02:43:57,520 Speaker 2: and impact. I saw your tweets about his passing and 3309 02:43:57,520 --> 02:43:59,400 Speaker 2: that couldn't agree with you more. I'm so exhausted by 3310 02:43:59,400 --> 02:44:02,520 Speaker 2: all that our people go through. Yeah, I was thinking 3311 02:44:02,560 --> 02:44:04,720 Speaker 2: about it on Twitter a little bit, and I was 3312 02:44:04,800 --> 02:44:11,720 Speaker 2: just it saddens me that he died during this administration. 3313 02:44:12,879 --> 02:44:17,480 Speaker 2: I love that he died fighting, you know, but I 3314 02:44:17,520 --> 02:44:26,119 Speaker 2: feel like our people, our warriors, should get a time off, 3315 02:44:26,440 --> 02:44:28,920 Speaker 2: they should get a retirement. This is why I'm not 3316 02:44:28,959 --> 02:44:31,200 Speaker 2: with that shit where people say, like I'll shop the 3317 02:44:31,280 --> 02:44:33,280 Speaker 2: need to step aside and let somebody else do it. 3318 02:44:33,320 --> 02:44:37,160 Speaker 2: Why if you can fight, and you got the will 3319 02:44:37,240 --> 02:44:39,000 Speaker 2: to fight, and you got the tools and you know 3320 02:44:39,040 --> 02:44:41,800 Speaker 2: how to fight, why would you not fight right? You know, 3321 02:44:42,640 --> 02:44:44,720 Speaker 2: and honestly, there's still a fight to be had. They're 3322 02:44:44,720 --> 02:44:48,080 Speaker 2: not making something out of nothing, So I you know, 3323 02:44:48,160 --> 02:44:53,160 Speaker 2: it sucked to be honest that he died during the 3324 02:44:53,200 --> 02:44:56,760 Speaker 2: administration that was a reaction to a black administration, and 3325 02:44:57,080 --> 02:45:00,320 Speaker 2: white people want us to feel this way and as 3326 02:45:00,440 --> 02:45:04,920 Speaker 2: like that. It just feels like you're losing and they're winning. Now. 3327 02:45:04,959 --> 02:45:09,680 Speaker 2: I don't think they're winning in the long you know, 3328 02:45:09,800 --> 02:45:12,640 Speaker 2: I really don't think they're winning the long game. But 3329 02:45:12,800 --> 02:45:17,320 Speaker 2: this current four years we're going through, it's such a regression, 3330 02:45:17,560 --> 02:45:23,320 Speaker 2: it's such a pushback, and I don't know where if 3331 02:45:23,320 --> 02:45:27,280 Speaker 2: people are gonna be willing to fight and and and 3332 02:45:27,600 --> 02:45:29,560 Speaker 2: and push back in twenty twenty.

No Trump's gonna win again. I'm not 3335 02:45:34,920 --> 02:45:37,240 Speaker 2: even trying to make that kind of point.
