1
00:00:05,519 --> 00:00:09,920
Speaker 1: Subject love or principles. Good morning everyone, Steve. I know

2
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,119
Speaker 1: you'd like to turn every problem into a joke, but

3
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,520
Speaker 1: please be kind. I'm a thirty nine year old black

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: male who turned his life around ten years ago when

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:21,800
Speaker 1: I left the street life and joined the Nation of Islam.

6
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:24,680
Speaker 1: Since then, I've spent most of my free time in

7
00:00:24,720 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 1: the community, making a difference and helping the youth of

8
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:31,960
Speaker 1: today overcome their obstacles to become successful adult. While being

9
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,839
Speaker 1: involved with single mother Learning Annex, I meet another young

10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,479
Speaker 1: lady that had volunteered to help with the program. She

11
00:00:38,640 --> 00:00:42,480
Speaker 1: is so full of life. She's gentle, smart and beautiful

12
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,920
Speaker 1: and really has herself together. People just love her. She

13
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: just has a way that makes everyone around her special.

14
00:00:50,280 --> 00:00:54,240
Speaker 1: Because she is so genuine and pleasant, I have completely

15
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:57,520
Speaker 1: fallen for her. We have so many of the same

16
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,600
Speaker 1: views on life and the world that when I'm with her,

17
00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: she makes me feel ten ft tall. We are not

18
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:07,679
Speaker 1: in a relationship or have never messed around, but I

19
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: want her badly, but not just in a sexual way,

20
00:01:11,560 --> 00:01:14,200
Speaker 1: but fully in a spiritual I want her to be

21
00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:20,200
Speaker 1: by my side forever way. Okay, what's problem? Keep going? Here?

22
00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: We go? Here, we go now? Of course there is

23
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:28,559
Speaker 1: an issue, or I wouldn't be writing you, ready, Steve,

24
00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: She is white. So now I'm stuck between a rock

25
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:43,640
Speaker 1: and a hard place. Oh yeah, the nation and most

26
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: of the folks. The nation and most of the folks

27
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: that I fight the everyday battle in white America. Be quiet, Dubby,

28
00:01:54,520 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: in white America. No, and love her, but I know

29
00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:00,320
Speaker 1: that it still would not be cool to them that

30
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: me and her would be together. I'm so torn from

31
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: what I have built and been a part of for

32
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:08,639
Speaker 1: the last ten years and my love for this woman.

33
00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 1: Where do I go from here? Man? Was good? Okay, okay,

34
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,200
