Speaker 1: That's what's good. Family is your girl to make a
Speaker 1: d mallory and it's your boy my son in general,
Speaker 1: and we are your host of street politicians, the place
Speaker 1: with the streets and politics meet. I am going to
Speaker 1: be a grandma, Grandma, Grandma GiMA. I'm I'm gonna be
Speaker 1: a grandma. My child is having a baby. They are
Speaker 1: five months pregnant, and I am really excited and grandma
Speaker 1: three good. My child is uh three, he's twenty three.
Speaker 1: You know. I always think at their age, nobody's ready
Speaker 1: because but I don't even know, like if you're ever
Speaker 1: really ready. That's that's the thing. Right when I had
Speaker 1: my son, I was two twenty two, I was much younger.
Speaker 1: I was eighteen. Yeah, so he beat you well, and
Speaker 1: you know, and so I am. I would love for
Speaker 1: him to follow a more traditional route, traditional of having
Speaker 1: his career completely off actually happen. Well, it's traditionally what
Speaker 1: we want, Okay, but I'm saying, what is the likelihood
Speaker 1: that actually happened. Well, I'm just saying that's what we
Speaker 1: try to encourage. Like every family tells the young people,
Speaker 1: wait until you get your career together. You traveled you
Speaker 1: you know, you see the world, you have multiple experiences,
Speaker 1: and then you have children. We all I'm not saying
Speaker 1: they do. I'm just talking about what I would like
Speaker 1: to have happened for him, you know that he would
Speaker 1: be in a different situation, and also for the mom,
Speaker 1: who I also love very much. And you know, I
Speaker 1: wish that that was more of their situation because I
Speaker 1: always feel like when we're young and we're in our twenties,
Speaker 1: we really should be enjoying life because you know, having
Speaker 1: children it's hard, Like there's no joke. It's a life
Speaker 1: changing thing. I think in theory what you're saying is
Speaker 1: like beautiful. What I think in reality when men have babies,
Speaker 1: I don't know what. I've never been a woman, so
Speaker 1: I can't speak for women, so I've never gonna try to.
Speaker 1: But I know when I have my son at two
Speaker 1: years old, it gave me a sense of purpose. It
Speaker 1: gave me a sense of motivation. It made me say, Okay,
Speaker 1: I gotta do things a lot different. I've got to
Speaker 1: be very much more intentional. I can't really play around.
Speaker 1: And it gives you to motivation to do more and
Speaker 1: be better and be more adult. Like you know, so
Speaker 1: I hear the whole thing about all we want to
Speaker 1: be a career, but that that's a traditional thing for families.
Speaker 1: And I think that's a well to do ideology. But
Speaker 1: ideology maybe, but I don't ever think it was because
Speaker 1: most men, even in families where they have money or
Speaker 1: they come from you know, you know, whatever, the pedigree
Speaker 1: is the right mix. Um still, the kids pop up
Speaker 1: pregnant and you just gotta do what you have to do.
Speaker 1: And I get it, you know. I'm just saying that.
Speaker 1: I think every family, and particularly moms, because we know
Speaker 1: the struggles of having to like you, you don't get
Speaker 1: to separate with your child at all, and we know it.
Speaker 1: So it's like when we see um, you know, younger
Speaker 1: people having kids in it, it sort of takes you
Speaker 1: back to a time when it was a real struggle
Speaker 1: and I feel like damn. But at the same time,
Speaker 1: my son is a provider. He always has been. He's
Speaker 1: not the type of person that will turn his back
Speaker 1: or you know, or not be available to his child
Speaker 1: because he does it for his whole family. I'm thinking, Sharon,
Speaker 1: now this is Sharon is uh what, I don't know.
Speaker 1: She was like almost sixty or something like that. She's
Speaker 1: a woman who is mature, my sister, and for some reason,
Speaker 1: my son still buys her food. I have no idea
Speaker 1: like why he's feeding her, and but he does it.
Speaker 1: And you know he's a man, Yes, I mean he's
Speaker 1: like that's so, you know, So listen, I think, I think,
Speaker 1: congratulations to you relations Tweka. I think Tweek is gonna
Speaker 1: be a good father. And it's a girl. It's a girl.
Speaker 1: I have a little girl that you can spoil you
Speaker 1: like you know, and you know about the spoiling part.
Speaker 1: Nobody knows about. Listen to me. You say that, and
Speaker 1: I remember the first time I see my grandson. He
Speaker 1: just he's adorable little boy. And every time I get
Speaker 1: the chance about him something and I want to spoil
Speaker 1: him and hold him. They moved to Connecticut, so it's
Speaker 1: a lot harder for me to see him as I
Speaker 1: want to before. They should go visit him every other day.
Speaker 1: So it's different when you become Listen, Casan. Cassan has
Speaker 1: very good parents, both his mother and his father, Cindy
Speaker 1: and not San your son and Cassan's mom. They are
Speaker 1: very good parents. So one thing I will say is
Speaker 1: that you see the transition again, like generationally, you see
Speaker 1: the transition of men like yourself, mothers like me, because
Speaker 1: we've dealt with the crack era, right, So what happened
Speaker 1: was there was a pocket of like lost kids because
Speaker 1: the parents was all messed up and the kids got
Speaker 1: all that stuff. And now that you kind of have
Speaker 1: that cleared up a little bit, you see these younger
Speaker 1: people who are having children, especially since they're not eighteen
Speaker 1: and nineteen like it was, you know, the fifteen and fourteen,
Speaker 1: because that's how young some of my sister and you know,
Speaker 1: my friends they were that age when they had their
Speaker 1: children because again their parents were out whatever was going on,
Speaker 1: and they end up getting pregnant, and so you know,
Speaker 1: you have, you know, you have basically a situation where
Speaker 1: now with these twentiesomething in rolls a lot of them,
Speaker 1: they're starting to settle down a little bit more and
Speaker 1: take care of their children. And then on top of that,
Speaker 1: their grandparents like you, you know, like your your your
Speaker 1: what do I say, excuse me, let me go back
Speaker 1: so we don't get that messed up, Okay, like Cassan's
Speaker 1: grandmother who are really involved and trying to help provide
Speaker 1: some level of guardrails. I don't know where this mindset
Speaker 1: came from that we don't have to do that, like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, it's not on me. I don't have to
Speaker 1: help take kid to kids. That doesn't actually work. And
Speaker 1: that's why I'm sticking with grandma. I'm sticking with grandmother.
Speaker 1: I know, yeah, Grandma's cue. Well, you know, you don't
Speaker 1: look like the traditional brand. I think that's what it is.
Speaker 1: I think people have evolved and try to change the
Speaker 1: name because more it's more culturally fitting, right, because the grandmothers,
Speaker 1: our grandmothers didn't look like you. You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: Nobody said this is my grandma. So it's a different
Speaker 1: ideology and different concepts that they want to show the
Speaker 1: evolution of it. But I guess you want to be
Speaker 1: you want to be just a traditional grandma. Listen. I
Speaker 1: love Grandma, I love g G, I love me Ma,
Speaker 1: I love all of those things. But I think that
Speaker 1: there is something to be said, you know. And I
Speaker 1: try to be reflective and as I sit and think
Speaker 1: about the breakdown of our communities, because damn it, there
Speaker 1: is a breakdown. We are in the midst of a
Speaker 1: internal and external war, and I'm trying to as a
Speaker 1: reflective individual who does look different, and I try to
Speaker 1: do that in every area of my life and my career.
Speaker 1: Everything I do is to show that you can be fly,
Speaker 1: you can you know, look good, be up with the trend,
Speaker 1: have your own style, do all that you want to do,
Speaker 1: and still be actively engaged in fighting for your community,
Speaker 1: Be a responsible individual, be somebody that's working on your
Speaker 1: spiritual healing and all of that. And that's why I'm
Speaker 1: sticking with Grandma, because I feel like there's a lot
Speaker 1: of glammy's and all of those beautiful names, but there
Speaker 1: is also a space for us to restore what grandmothers, grandma,
Speaker 1: regular grandma, what that looks like. And so I want
Speaker 1: to know what people out there think, like, do folks
Speaker 1: in the world think I'm being extra or do you
Speaker 1: all agree and understand why Grandma needs so much? You know?
Speaker 1: Teslin wrote on my page the other day when I
Speaker 1: announced that I'm about to be a grandma, she was
Speaker 1: talking about the word grant and how important just grant
Speaker 1: in and of itself is and for me, that's a
Speaker 1: legacy piece. So I'm speaking with Grandma. I'm a I love.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, it's still the same thing because
Speaker 1: the G is just the abbreviation for so it's still traditional.
Speaker 1: It's it's just my little, my little flavor that I
Speaker 1: like that, you know what, I just feel like I want.
Speaker 1: But I don't listen. I'm not trying to say anybody
Speaker 1: who doesn't it's wrong. I'm just saying what I'm doing.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. Everybody doing what they're doing.
Speaker 1: Let's get into these news uh so much news. The
Speaker 1: news is just a new updates, UM and what's happening
Speaker 1: across the nation. So, first of all, I'm really proud
Speaker 1: of our friend, attorney Benjamin Crump. UM. Just this past
Speaker 1: weekend we attended attended the Tribeca Film Festival where his
Speaker 1: film was featured. Sybil is the name of It. On
Speaker 1: June nineteenth. It will be released on Netflix. UM. Right now.
Speaker 1: It's in the film festivals this week actually today. UM.
Speaker 1: It will also be featured during the African American Film
Speaker 1: Festival in Miami, which we will attend. UM. The film
Speaker 1: is incredible. People talk so much bullshit about Attorney Crump,
Speaker 1: But after watching this film, and we know we worked
Speaker 1: with him every day, I see Crump all the time.
Speaker 1: I talked to him at five in the morning. I'm
Speaker 1: there when he's trying to sleep a little bit in
Speaker 1: the middle of the day, he's standing up sleeping. I've
Speaker 1: seen him through so for years since Trayvon Martin, I've
Speaker 1: don't Been Crump, and I've watched him grow up, watched
Speaker 1: him slim down. I've watched him work on his craft
Speaker 1: and Nope. But after seeing the film, you can't say
Speaker 1: nothing to me about Been Crump. I mean, you couldn't
Speaker 1: say that to me before this. But I think the
Speaker 1: film delves into so many different things. It delves into
Speaker 1: his perfect as a delts upbringing. It shows you the
Speaker 1: complexity of his life, his family, family, how much his
Speaker 1: wife is so supportive because she He's never there talking
Speaker 1: about his family, talking about his friends. You know, my god,
Speaker 1: Big Silky and Silkie is somebody that you know, he's
Speaker 1: been with Trump, Triple O G And when you understand
Speaker 1: his history and you understand how Crump has him with
Speaker 1: him and every day exactly, and then you look at
Speaker 1: different cases that you don't even know that Crump is
Speaker 1: working on, and how he's engaged you know, and then
Speaker 1: when you you you hear the criticism. He even puts
Speaker 1: it in it or if you love it, why you're
Speaker 1: doing for money in response to it. But basically, I mean,
Speaker 1: I know, I don't know if it's supposed to tell
Speaker 1: because people need to watch it, but I think it
Speaker 1: needs to be said because you know the critics, they
Speaker 1: will watch us and this, uh and then never gonna
Speaker 1: watch the film. And I think that even if you
Speaker 1: are a critic of someone, especially if you're black and
Speaker 1: you claim you love black people and you're a critic
Speaker 1: of someone and they have a documentary, a book or
Speaker 1: something out, you can't be a authentic critic unless you
Speaker 1: read it and try to understand more about who that
Speaker 1: person is so that you can know is it is
Speaker 1: it firsthand knowledge? Is this exactly? You know? What is
Speaker 1: my interpretation real? Or is this what I heard somewhere
Speaker 1: or just what I think because of based upon me
Speaker 1: seeing this person for a few seconds. So if you
Speaker 1: are a real critic of being crumbs, you should be
Speaker 1: more than willing to sit down and watch this documentary.
Speaker 1: That again, when he's asked about the money, he talks
Speaker 1: about how the Civil Rights Division, which are the cases
Speaker 1: that he fights across the country, they are that is
Speaker 1: the least paid or the hot the least earning department.
Speaker 1: Within his law practice, he makes the most money from
Speaker 1: personal injury from suing these major companies when they are
Speaker 1: discriminating against you know, employees on the civil right side.
Speaker 1: People see these big cases Brianna tell A twelve million dollars,
Speaker 1: George Floyd's family twenty seven million, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: when they give you a graph of all the cases,
Speaker 1: those are the hot the two highest paid. The rest
Speaker 1: of them trade Von Martin one one million or two million,
Speaker 1: somebody one million, two million, And he just it just
Speaker 1: started to get to the point where they are able
Speaker 1: to get that type of money for these absolutely right,
Speaker 1: because making sure that the government pays you. Because he's
Speaker 1: built up a reputation, right, he's he's able to guard
Speaker 1: enough attention. He's able to call people like us and
Speaker 1: other organized as a civil rights people around this world,
Speaker 1: call on leaders, call on to bring attention which the
Speaker 1: government can ignore, right, so that they can't just say,
Speaker 1: you know, we did this to George Floyd. We're just
Speaker 1: gonna give you two million dollars and y'all figure that out. No,
Speaker 1: because they know that the world would be outraged. So
Speaker 1: he's able to make those things happen. So because he's
Speaker 1: put this work in for twenty plus years, he's built
Speaker 1: itself up to a position to where he is an
Speaker 1: asset to somebody else's family and and and therefore he
Speaker 1: makes itself as it to itself. So I don't understand
Speaker 1: the like I've never understood the criticism. I think people
Speaker 1: you can criticize anybody you want, but I mean critique
Speaker 1: is final. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. For me. It's like,
Speaker 1: I don't understand why we have no problem with the
Speaker 1: white lawyers and all of them they get paid hundreds
Speaker 1: of that you know, you know how many these white
Speaker 1: lawyers is taken these You know how much um young
Speaker 1: thugging and lawyers is getting paid for you know, they
Speaker 1: pay him millions of dollars. By the time you you
Speaker 1: finished with these white lawyers, if you was in the
Speaker 1: street and you've got millions of dollars, they're cleaning you
Speaker 1: drive and ain't and you're not going home. They're they're
Speaker 1: taking your money and they're making use. Okay, we're gonna
Speaker 1: we're just making sure you don't get life. You're gonna
Speaker 1: get twenty five years. And most of them is cleaning
Speaker 1: you up. So a man who is fighting and he's
Speaker 1: getting you a settlement and getting a piece. He ain't
Speaker 1: taking on. He's getting a percentage of what he thought
Speaker 1: to get you. These people are just taking what you
Speaker 1: already got and you nothing. But you have an issue
Speaker 1: with us being that you have an issue with the
Speaker 1: black people being able to be compensating. It's just, it's
Speaker 1: just I don't need anybody should be working for free,
Speaker 1: period at all. I think that is crazy. I don't
Speaker 1: know where it came from, but I personally I do
Speaker 1: not ascribe to it and I will not. And that's
Speaker 1: just the bottom line. So next thing. Well, so, anyway
Speaker 1: back to congratulations, great great, great, great great great film.
Speaker 1: Um So, a college student is missing. This story has
Speaker 1: me tripped out because our director, Kathleen Trigg of Eye
Speaker 1: Woman tv UM is the person who brought the story
Speaker 1: to us. I have no idea happened. Sometimes I can't
Speaker 1: even deal with the news. It's like every time I
Speaker 1: turn to TV and I want to um So, this
Speaker 1: college student, her name is t J. She's her mom's
Speaker 1: only child. She was in her final semester of college.
Speaker 1: She met a woman online. Lord have mercy we meet people.
Speaker 1: I just don't know why we meet people. I don't
Speaker 1: know why we make physical online relationships like keep it online.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying now, I mean people that I've met online.
Speaker 1: They come to our events and new but I'm not
Speaker 1: meeting you by myself, man, Jesus Christ. Poor baby. So
Speaker 1: she was making some posters for the woman. I'm I'm
Speaker 1: going to assume the woman had some type of cause
Speaker 1: that she was interested in. She was making posters for
Speaker 1: this woman, and she traveled to d C. You know,
Speaker 1: of course, there's many details in between. But she traveled
Speaker 1: to d C uh to do something for this woman,
Speaker 1: and she went missing. It's been over a month. Um.
Speaker 1: She took the bus, got off on Union State at
Speaker 1: Union Station in d C. She went missing. No one
Speaker 1: has seen her. On June one, which was about a
Speaker 1: month later, she calls from Maryland from a hair salon,
Speaker 1: um and calls her mom and says, come and get
Speaker 1: me now. She told a family member tell my mom
Speaker 1: to come and get me now, and then the family racist,
Speaker 1: then I mind you. She's from New York. She's a
Speaker 1: New Yorker, but she ends up there in Maryland calling

Speaker 1: excuse me, dm at Street Politicians Pod. You can d
Speaker 1: m at Street Politicians Pod if you think you have
Speaker 1: any information. Next, and our news lineup is Wells Fargo.
Speaker 1: Now Wells Fargo. They they just they're bad actors. I'm
Speaker 1: convinced at this point there's been so much in terms
Speaker 1: of discrimination. Employees complaining they were involved in the Dakota
Speaker 1: Access Pipeline, which is where the Native Americans were being
Speaker 1: displaced for a pipeline that they wanted to put in
Speaker 1: some pipes that would run straight through the Native American land. UM.
Speaker 1: There were many into including Queen your Nasca Habulist. I
Speaker 1: was dear sister who's out there fighting to literally using
Speaker 1: their bodies to protect the Native land, which is sacred land. UM.
Speaker 1: And as a result of the spring, because they sprayed them,
Speaker 1: law enforcements sprayed the people, they tasered them, they locked
Speaker 1: them up, They did all types of things that impacted
Speaker 1: the health of the protesters. And now Queen your Nastah
Speaker 1: is suffering from cancer uh and dealing with other issues
Speaker 1: and a lot of other indigent fact, they have been
Speaker 1: on some that have actually died since the big protests,
Speaker 1: and Wells Fargo was one of the corporations involved in that.
Speaker 1: There have been many times where people have called for
Speaker 1: Wells Fargo to be on the cancel list. Now we
Speaker 1: find out that they were holding fake in the interviews
Speaker 1: for diversity candidates. So these were people who were going
Speaker 1: in to be interviewed, and there's a manager there who's
Speaker 1: telling the story himself. So this is not to Maka
Speaker 1: and some other crazy people made it up in mice
Speaker 1: on just going along with it. No, this is something
Speaker 1: where a manager says he noticed. So they were they
Speaker 1: were bringing these candidates in under the diversity initiative where
Speaker 1: they're supposed to be hiring. They say, it's a cold
Speaker 1: word for women and people of color. Uh, so they're
Speaker 1: bringing these candidates in and they would interview them for positions.
Speaker 1: But the guy learned that the manager, he learned that
Speaker 1: something those positions had already been assigned to someone else,
Speaker 1: so it already been promised to another person. That's the
Speaker 1: same thing that happened with the coach in the NFL,
Speaker 1: wasn't it. Um I forget his name. But it was
Speaker 1: the code he was he was applying for a coaching
Speaker 1: position and found out they had already promised it to
Speaker 1: a whitening Brian Flores. That's what that's what happened. They
Speaker 1: sent him, They sent him the wrong email. They said
Speaker 1: the person who you're actually hiring. He sent him and
Speaker 1: said he got the job, and he was supposed to
Speaker 1: go in the next day to the interview. So they
Speaker 1: were just basically interview him. Nothing to say exactly crazy stuff.
Speaker 1: That's what we gotta deal with, man. You know, the discrimination,
Speaker 1: especially in sports, and it's just so many different other
Speaker 1: arenas that we have, you see, and just in major corporation.
Speaker 1: That's what There's very little opportunity for us to really
Speaker 1: excel in these corporations, major corporations. So you know, this
Speaker 1: is this is a Michael Cosmo where we actually deal
Speaker 1: with what it's actually being seen. This has been going, right,
Speaker 1: It's been going on every day exactly. That's a good point.
Speaker 1: That's a good point. It's been going on. Actually we
Speaker 1: get to see it. So then another thing and this
Speaker 1: sort of gets into my thought of the day. So
Speaker 1: I'm going to especially since we are moving quickly to
Speaker 1: get to our guests. We're trying to learn how to
Speaker 1: stop talking for ninety hours arguing about everything, so they
Speaker 1: got us on a real time. I'm frame here, guys. Uh,
Speaker 1: But now that's okay because you know, I gotta tighten
Speaker 1: it up. It's nothing wrong with getting better. That's what
Speaker 1: we're trying to do. If you get if it takes
Speaker 1: you a long time to say, you might not know
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. That's what my pastor says about
Speaker 1: when you get up to speak, if you need thirty
Speaker 1: five forty minutes to give a sermon, you don't. You
Speaker 1: can't really pretty, she said, twenty minutes. Tops people don't
Speaker 1: want here longer than that. It's okay for work with that.
Speaker 1: So Trump, Yo, let me tell you something. Trump is
Speaker 1: the best to ever do. I'm just convinced at this point,
Speaker 1: I don't know anybody. Now, let me tell you. Obama
Speaker 1: worked the camera, He worked angles. I let me see,
Speaker 1: I can't really obviously we were really young, so I
Speaker 1: can't think back to any other president. But I'm sure
Speaker 1: there are folks who are my senior who might say, well,
Speaker 1: this other president knew how to do it too. But
Speaker 1: beyond like Obama was good at the camera. The he was,
Speaker 1: he was charismatic, and he also was um you know
Speaker 1: his he they were advanced where they knew how to
Speaker 1: push the internet right, but Trumpnam they don't took everything
Speaker 1: Obama new and put a little bit of extra on it.
Speaker 1: And they are working the algorithm. They're working people's minds.
Speaker 1: They got the media cycle wrapped around their fingers and
Speaker 1: it's just crazy. So people are asking, is he finally
Speaker 1: going down? And my answer is probably no, Right, I
Speaker 1: don't think he's going down, but I do think that
Speaker 1: we need to protect Benny Thompson with at all costs.
Speaker 1: The congressman who is uh, the the the presiding count congressman,
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know if they're calling him the
Speaker 1: presiding official over the January sixth committee. So basically this
Speaker 1: committee has been meeting. There's actual testimony going on. I
Speaker 1: know that in this week they got they have testimony
Speaker 1: from a couple of people, including that worked directly with
Speaker 1: Trump that was at one point like his homing them
Speaker 1: they was all together. And then other people who um
Speaker 1: he fired, who were like high up in the government.
Speaker 1: And these are all individuals who are saying that basically
Speaker 1: there was they already told him from day one that
Speaker 1: he lost the election period. That's it exactly. Well, they
Speaker 1: didn't say that, but that's what we're saying. And then
Speaker 1: they also had, you know, other individuals who were experts
Speaker 1: to talk about what took place on January six. Now
Speaker 1: the insurrection. Now the two things are aligned because it
Speaker 1: is assumed and and I guess there is some um
Speaker 1: evidence that proves that the reason why they tried to
Speaker 1: take basically take the government in a coop is because
Speaker 1: Trump was basically implanting in these crazy people's minds that
Speaker 1: he won and that the election was stolen from him
Speaker 1: by Joe Biden and the Democrats. That is, that's the
Speaker 1: whole nation that was his That's that's what it was
Speaker 1: supposed to be all about. And therefore all these folks
Speaker 1: got together and went to Washington, d C. To perform
Speaker 1: an insurrection and and and so that's that's how it
Speaker 1: is aligned. But if you watch and just pay close
Speaker 1: attention to the media, they will have you talking more
Speaker 1: about whether or not the election was stolen. Then the
Speaker 1: fact that people went into the capital too, took over
Speaker 1: the capital, and we're running up walls like animals being
Speaker 1: people a woman that got herself shot stealing male computing.
Speaker 1: I mean, what are we talking about? All of that happened,
Speaker 1: But they will have you talking about election fraud the votes,
Speaker 1: because that's because they're so good at what they do
Speaker 1: as spending it and keeping people focused on the wrong thing. So,
Speaker 1: my daughter, the j is is Trump going down from
Speaker 1: all of this? No, because people are not really. I
Speaker 1: don't even know that the government is really even taken seriously.
Speaker 1: I just don't know. I know they've got a committee
Speaker 1: and it's established and knows, but it's gonna take some
Speaker 1: real I don't excuse me. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: could say balls, I think that's like, no, I don't
Speaker 1: think you're supposed say that. Some real testicular fortitude, Okay,
Speaker 1: I got that from Mr Trump, some real testicular fortitude
Speaker 1: for you to be able to fight these people. You
Speaker 1: gotta fight, man, because if we don't fight, we have
Speaker 1: Trump back in these to see or at least it's
Speaker 1: home or man. What I'm trying to tell you, the
Speaker 1: problem with the government for me is what I've I've learned.
Speaker 1: You know, I've heard the ballot and brother the thousand times,
Speaker 1: and and I really what I realized and I understand
Speaker 1: now is democracy doesn't really exist. It's it's a it's
Speaker 1: a farcet. It's not it's no real reality of it, right.
Speaker 1: And the reason why is because you have a democratic
Speaker 1: party who just wants to encompass everybody. Right. It just says,
Speaker 1: you know, hey, you want to do this, you should
Speaker 1: be equal to this, that all those things are good. Right,
Speaker 1: But you have a Republican party that is set on
Speaker 1: we're gonna make money and we're gonna keep our country
Speaker 1: and we're gonna do that ship by any means. You
Speaker 1: have one party is willing to do something by any means,
Speaker 1: and you have another coom by y'ard, I just want
Speaker 1: to figure out how can we make things happen, and
Speaker 1: that doesn't work. So don't matter what happens, there's one
Speaker 1: party that's gonna always be in control. That's how we
Speaker 1: So speaking of Boycott Black Murder, we have a guest
Speaker 1: on today. Now you know Father's Day is coming up,
Speaker 1: and often with our shows, um not not just with
Speaker 1: our shows, I take that back. Often folks in general
Speaker 1: talk to mothers of those who have lost a loved
Speaker 1: one in violent incidents. Police brutality. The mother is the heartstring.
Speaker 1: We know that. M I think most people are comfortable
Speaker 1: with the fact that the mother's really kind of stepped forward.
Speaker 1: And the world wants to know when a child is lost,
Speaker 1: the mother who's bear that child, how do they feel,
Speaker 1: you know, and and and what is their fight? And
Speaker 1: really take sort of a lot of their direction. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know from the moms. The mothers have been leading
Speaker 1: the movement in many ways, but we can never lose
Speaker 1: sight of the fact that they are fathers who are
Speaker 1: equally engaged that are a part of the movement for uh,
Speaker 1: for our for our people, especially against injustice and racial
Speaker 1: violence and and also other violent incidents. And not long
Speaker 1: ago again, once again, Attorney Crump contacted us about another
Speaker 1: situation that took place in Boynton Beach, Florida. Now, in
Speaker 1: this situation, UH, it's very different because this is a child.
Speaker 1: And I received a lot of calls from Crump over
Speaker 1: the years. Obviously he called this about Brianna Taylor, and
Speaker 1: there have been other cases, uh also Pam Turner in Texas,
Speaker 1: lots of cases over the years where he's reached out
Speaker 1: to say, Hey, I just want to let you know
Speaker 1: this is going on, and if you all have the
Speaker 1: capacity that eild get the air or to do something
Speaker 1: to help uplift the family, you know, please do so.
Speaker 1: Uh and so in this particular situation, it was the
Speaker 1: first time that he was calling a about a child.
Speaker 1: Thirteen year old Stanley Davis the third um Now Stanley
Speaker 1: Davis was killed in Boyton Beach, Florida by a police
Speaker 1: officer by the name of Mark Some this man, Uh, basically,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk to his father, which is why
Speaker 1: I mentioned Father's Day and how important the fathers are.
Speaker 1: His father, Stanley Davis Jr. Is going to join us today.
Speaker 1: Now the story is really important that people get to
Speaker 1: know the details, because first of all, not enough folks
Speaker 1: are talking about I don't even know why. I mean,
Speaker 1: we should be outraged. The whole nation, the whole world
Speaker 1: really should know Stanley Davis the Third the same way
Speaker 1: that you know all the other names. The story goes
Speaker 1: that he had a dirt bit. Stanley Davis the Third,
Speaker 1: he had a dirt bite and had gone to the
Speaker 1: gas station. He goes inside the gas station and he
Speaker 1: com back out and he gets on the bike. It
Speaker 1: looks like before he ever even pumps the gas and
Speaker 1: he goes out of the station and the police car
Speaker 1: follows him, and we know that the officer basically ran
Speaker 1: him off the road, that he lost control at some
Speaker 1: point of his vehicle. Now, the thing about it is
Speaker 1: that what I've heard from his father, who again will
Speaker 1: join us, is that this particular police officer everybody knows him.
Speaker 1: And we know because we got a whole rat sheet
Speaker 1: of stuff that the man has done. Like this is
Speaker 1: not like he's just some officer who, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: this is his first incident, not even his second, not
Speaker 1: even his third, not even his fourth, not even his kid.
Speaker 1: This is a this is a constant thing where he's
Speaker 1: somehow it's a it's a no, a rat sheet resume.
Speaker 1: This job is actually to be cause in habit and
Speaker 1: pretty much I mean, I don't know. I mean, I
Speaker 1: guess I'm willing to call him whatever because it is
Speaker 1: what it is. But he certainly is a repeat offender
Speaker 1: of these types of incidents. So because we we met
Speaker 1: other families, particularly another child who was six years old
Speaker 1: that was killed as a result of another high speed
Speaker 1: chase where the child died in the incident that this
Speaker 1: child died as a result of a high speed chase
Speaker 1: that did not have to happen. This is his third
Speaker 1: This is his third incident where someone has died as
Speaker 1: a result of a high speed chase. But let me
Speaker 1: just say, let me just say in August six in
Speaker 1: August sixteenth, the two thousand and twenty two Officers Zone
Speaker 1: or mark soon as we you know, we're not calling
Speaker 1: him officer anything, even though he still has not been fired.
Speaker 1: He had neglect of duty for accidentally discharging his shotgun
Speaker 1: while in the police vehicle in and let's see where
Speaker 1: October twenty five, two thousand and two, he got a
Speaker 1: verbal reprimand for the neglect of duty for failing to
Speaker 1: respond to a backup officer after advising he was in
Speaker 1: route and arrived twenty three minutes late. So, in other words,
Speaker 1: they saying he just kind of went off the grid
Speaker 1: and got in trouble for doing something there that they
Speaker 1: couldn't figure out. Where were you? He has several document
Speaker 1: deficiencies and disciplinary issues in two thousand and in and
Speaker 1: three again many incidents he uh and and the and
Speaker 1: the premise of all of this is that we know,
Speaker 1: based upon all of this that officers shown is racist
Speaker 1: that's what we that's what we know. So he got
Speaker 1: a verbal counseling for violating the Communication Regulation UM in
Speaker 1: which he responded to a channel which is the radio,
Speaker 1: by saying that he when he was asked what was
Speaker 1: his location, he said he was at Stone Haitian Drive,
Speaker 1: which evidently was not the name. Yeah right, it was
Speaker 1: a racial slur into In February or two thousand and three,
Speaker 1: Officers Zone was counseled in presence of another lieutenant several
Speaker 1: lieutenants informing him that his performance as a probation every
Speaker 1: officer had not met the basic required standards to maintain
Speaker 1: his status as a full time police officer. He was
Speaker 1: informed that he had two weeks to bring his deficiency.
Speaker 1: So he hadn't been in trouble several times, and instead
Speaker 1: of them saying you're not gonna make it to be
Speaker 1: a police officer, they put him on the force. They
Speaker 1: gave him two weeks, put him on the force, and
Speaker 1: then anyway, the point is that this goes on and
Speaker 1: on and on. It goes down to Jaden Reardon. This
Speaker 1: is the at the time he was five years old,
Speaker 1: this young boy where he was Officers Zone or Mark
Speaker 1: Zone was conducting the high speed pursuit. The vehicle that
Speaker 1: he was pursuing struck this child and the child was
Speaker 1: killed because again he's chasing people down. And then at
Speaker 1: the end they found out that should have never been
Speaker 1: chasing the person in the first place. In two thousand
Speaker 1: and seventeen, another man, Patrick mcfatt McFadden, was pulled over
Speaker 1: and Browert County and was surrendering when Mark Soon ordered
Speaker 1: a dog to attack him. And there are pictures that
Speaker 1: we will show of this man all uh, you know,
Speaker 1: bruised up or whatever by this dog that attacked him.
Speaker 1: So this man has several incidents, racial slurs, he has,
Speaker 1: he's he doesn't follow instructions they were gave, weren't gonna
Speaker 1: let he he didn't make the requirements to become a
Speaker 1: police officer. They kept him on the force all of
Speaker 1: this time. He's killed multiple people. And now there's a
Speaker 1: thirteen year old boy, Stanley Davis, the third who has
Speaker 1: been killed. And his dad said everybody in the community
Speaker 1: knew him. Everybody he's been doing this for twenty years.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows this officer in our community that coming just
Speaker 1: terrorized the community and the dirty cops and not doing
Speaker 1: in not community. Sublies did not life by the police.
Speaker 1: They target the people in the community, and he seems
Speaker 1: to be one of those. But he's definitely So we're
Speaker 1: joining today by Stanley Davis Jr. We as we are
Speaker 1: again talking about Father's Day, and of course there's a
Speaker 1: lot of great stuff that we say during Father's Day.
Speaker 1: We want to celebrate and highlight, but we have to
Speaker 1: remember that there are fathers that are hurting deeply because
Speaker 1: they can't they could not be there to protect their children,
Speaker 1: uh and to protect them from this brutal system. And

Speaker 1: and I just trying to pain. I just want to
Speaker 1: get it over there. H you know, being a father,
Speaker 1: you know, I can't even imagine, you know, I actually
Speaker 1: have three sons, and I just I couldn't even imagine
Speaker 1: that pain. So I'm just saying you know that I
Speaker 1: definitely feel for you you know, and even though I
Speaker 1: never experienced, I could just identify with what it would
Speaker 1: even remote we feel like. But the fact that we
Speaker 1: still haven't seen justice. This has happened about a year ago. No,
Speaker 1: it's it's decent. This is the day after Christmas. He
Speaker 1: has been about six months. Yeah, it's been about six
Speaker 1: months and we still haven't seen your justice. Monks. Only
Speaker 1: still you know what do you who would you like
Speaker 1: to see happening? Right? Yeah, I really don't want my thoughts,
Speaker 1: you know, I can give you them, you know, for
Speaker 1: him to be fired. Hope my thoughts is really good?
Speaker 1: Well not so tell tell me what you think. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, and I know from a legal perspective, First
Speaker 1: of all, you weren't there, so you can't really say
Speaker 1: what happened or what didn't happen because you were not there.
Speaker 1: But you but you know, based upon video footage and
Speaker 1: also based upon uh the witnesses, and then of course
Speaker 1: your own experience with the same officer and him terrorizing
Speaker 1: your community. You pretty much have put together the details
Speaker 1: and your lawyers have of what you we all believe
Speaker 1: happened that day. Give us your understanding, um, and and
Speaker 1: then yeah, go ahead, I can pretty much tell you
Speaker 1: what happened. The individual that my son was at the gas,
Speaker 1: but my son just left him house. Um, he went
Speaker 1: in and pay for gads. But prior to him going in,
Speaker 1: he noticed the police was circling the gass and so
Speaker 1: you can see he went in. He gave that guy
Speaker 1: the money that's want to hit my friend and you
Speaker 1: know one of the guys we ride with. So my
Speaker 1: son he was trying to pretty much get it and go,
Speaker 1: and that's why you can see he didn't get the
Speaker 1: tell of the money. Did the guy the money? He
Speaker 1: came outside and noticed that the officer was going to
Speaker 1: presume so as you said, like, he never got the gags,
Speaker 1: he just was trying to go. Um, prior to the instant,
Speaker 1: you know, he stated about the police officer already you know,
Speaker 1: causing having on some of the kids that he was with.
Speaker 1: But anyways, back to saying what happened. My brother actually
Speaker 1: called me when it was happening and asked him why
Speaker 1: I was at I said, now, I just left my house.
Speaker 1: I'm going to get something ecause my son. Literally ten
Speaker 1: minutes after my son leave, this incident happened. You know,
Speaker 1: I was at my mom house and um he asked
Speaker 1: me and said, well, what is she got on? Said
Speaker 1: blue jean, black shirt? He said, man, the police chasing,
Speaker 1: say man. So my brother witnessed the whole thing happened.
Speaker 1: That's why it's like I know what happened. And I
Speaker 1: got there. The only person was there with my brother
Speaker 1: offers a song and another officer just came when the
Speaker 1: ambros just righting. So I literally got the two minutes
Speaker 1: after happen. And when I got there, my son was,
Speaker 1: you know from where they determined he was deceased. You know,
Speaker 1: the angion didn't read in the aid, they didn't try
Speaker 1: to be on the phone for him. I even asked,
Speaker 1: like you guys gonna help him. They just shipped their
Speaker 1: head and walked away. So my brother was telling, you know,
Speaker 1: the other happens. My brother was telling other officers. So
Speaker 1: what happened for my brother was witnessed it. You know,
Speaker 1: my brothers on that on a federal highway helping someone
Speaker 1: that he knows and witness the whole pursuit and everything.
Speaker 1: So you're telling us that you arrive and you saw
Speaker 1: your son. They're deceased or they told you he was deceased,
Speaker 1: but you saw him physically. Yeah, I physically I was there.
Speaker 1: I touched him there. I got there before the m
Speaker 1: and EM was pulling out when I was filling up.
Speaker 1: What was h mark Son doing? He was standing next
Speaker 1: to the vehicle, was just like his hand on the
Speaker 1: lack of dultline. He was just standing up looking stupid.
Speaker 1: My brother was going off on stadium man. This was
Speaker 1: ship kind of sit you always that you've been doing that.
Speaker 1: You know what you was done for the month. You
Speaker 1: were just standing out. He didn't win the age, He
Speaker 1: didn't do anything. He was just standing off. So you're
Speaker 1: saying that you not to do nothing since Yeah, so
Speaker 1: days before your son told you that he put it
Speaker 1: on social media that they were scared. I can't get
Speaker 1: in his phone because I don't, you know, have his
Speaker 1: the steal so you know, I couldn't go back to
Speaker 1: the archives and retrieve it. But he had just put
Speaker 1: a post up about it was the frandage. The mom
Speaker 1: spoke up after it. Amount of fact, I think the
Speaker 1: little boy he came, but I there was some of
Speaker 1: these fans came to get in the pool and he
Speaker 1: was one of the ones that that same officer he
Speaker 1: hit him off the bike and was the only thing
Speaker 1: that saved him from not getting und those because the
Speaker 1: bike on the sidewalk, you know, was stuck in between
Speaker 1: the cast so he was able to get up and run.
Speaker 1: Mark Song was chasing him with a firearm. Kid they
Speaker 1: him for a po kid, little kids. So is there
Speaker 1: an image like do you have a screenshot of your son?
Speaker 1: What he said on his socidia? But you know, they
Speaker 1: could have been a story and after twenty four hours
Speaker 1: is a racing story phone I could have on his archives,
Speaker 1: you know, yeah? Wow. But he had just said that
Speaker 1: the officer was messing with them, right, and you you're
Speaker 1: saying this officer has history, talk about that, yeah, d commune,
Speaker 1: like you said, you've got the interest with him seeking
Speaker 1: the dog on people constantly beat people. As you can
Speaker 1: see his file like science did I know him personally
Speaker 1: and chase him, you know, made him reck out and
Speaker 1: if you got all right, refore pretty much states that
Speaker 1: the god didn't not wrong, he just did it. Did
Speaker 1: to do it. And the Jaden Reid case, like I
Speaker 1: know his friends would and well Mark someone was chasing
Speaker 1: the man with the residential area rap rap right across
Speaker 1: from the school with the inswer he had no regards
Speaker 1: for like you said, he raised it, and it's it's evident.
Speaker 1: You got a file in his report and you can
Speaker 1: see everything that he do is towards black people or
Speaker 1: hasting minority is. It's never Carcasian. That's really crazy and
Speaker 1: I'm quiet. It's no community that I know all go
Speaker 1: to that there's no white while the white ben turgeted
Speaker 1: the same way you've turgean in the black. And it's evident.
Speaker 1: The city of Boring Beach, they see it, they know
Speaker 1: what's going on, but then it's like they're okay with it.
Speaker 1: I feel like when you go to it said, anywhere
Speaker 1: across America, you're gonna polish stricken areas. That's why all
Speaker 1: the police brutality happened out, That's why all their injustice
Speaker 1: happened at because they feel like you have no financial moons,
Speaker 1: you have no voice. Um here, it is like men
Speaker 1: ship with the Internet happened. My mom said, though we
Speaker 1: don't live there. I live in in a different part
Speaker 1: of the time. And in my community where were the
Speaker 1: kid to be round to buy the police are calmed.
Speaker 1: The man you know, telling to put the bikes up
Speaker 1: at the five o'clock the end of the city there
Speaker 1: boring beach. But they're just going to show you how
Speaker 1: you're being handled when you know, and it's just say
Speaker 1: fancy to get up for an example, you've been handling
Speaker 1: them police different in those cities there they allowed that
Speaker 1: gay And I said something about you know, at q
Speaker 1: and A, we had with the police to front if
Speaker 1: wild lot of individual to till rogers to them for
Speaker 1: so many years. If you guys are not poor, you
Speaker 1: could easily transferred him somewhere else in the city. But
Speaker 1: you know that's not tolerated elsewhere in that city. If
Speaker 1: you go outside of the ghetto, you you're falling a
Speaker 1: different uh income category, which means those individuals got the
Speaker 1: financial means too to go at it with the police
Speaker 1: or to the tofend their child. Yeah, over there don't happen.
Speaker 1: So you know the city of that fault as well.
Speaker 1: And I don't even want to see that because they
Speaker 1: are allowed. Like you said, you've seen five over twenty
Speaker 1: years and I haven't been a time payer where he
Speaker 1: don't have a break. And that's just the things that
Speaker 1: he was caught doing. As of all the things he
Speaker 1: got away with, that's right, that's right. So what what
Speaker 1: is the status of the case right now? You know,
Speaker 1: they're not giving us any details about on the thing,
Speaker 1: but you know I've been talking. They're pretty much saying
Speaker 1: they're gonna pretty much terminating Luce lunch Nuss. That's no
Speaker 1: bigger for me because he needs to be charged, that's right.
Speaker 1: He definitely needs to be charged. To murder yourself. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I just feel like I don't know, I can't really
Speaker 1: shot my thought. But you know, I mean, we'll listen.
Speaker 1: I understand. I've been working with families for over twenty years,
Speaker 1: and everything you feel is okay. You know, it's it's
Speaker 1: okay for you to feel all those emotions. Um, you know,
Speaker 1: this is it's it's unfathomable, like I just you know, wow.
Speaker 1: And and what is worse, it's not even so much
Speaker 1: that which which which is terrible that he killed your son,
Speaker 1: but we know they killed black people, this happen. What
Speaker 1: is unbelievable is that he hasn't just been terminated. That
Speaker 1: should have happened already before he even got to uh Jaden. Right,
Speaker 1: So before he killed the last child, there was enough
Speaker 1: on him to take him off the force. And yet
Speaker 1: he has still he's that that there are several litigations
Speaker 1: happening at the same time he's in court for multiple
Speaker 1: things at once with different families. That is ridiculous. And
Speaker 1: if something had been done about his behavior prior in
Speaker 1: in previous years, in fact, when they first said that
Speaker 1: they did not feel at that point that he had
Speaker 1: done all needed to become a police officer, if they
Speaker 1: would have looked at his infractions at that time and
Speaker 1: stopped him from becoming a cop, we wouldn't be here
Speaker 1: having this conversation. And so it is just, I don't
Speaker 1: know the word to describe how unbelievable this is. It's disgusting, man,
Speaker 1: you know, just that we're having this conversation, you know,
Speaker 1: around father's thing that that really bothers me being a father,
Speaker 1: you know, actually meeting this man and hearing his passion
Speaker 1: and being able to tell how much he really loved
Speaker 1: his son, you know how much, you know, trying. She's
Speaker 1: a worrious young king had two parents who loved them,
Speaker 1: you know, and they did the right things. You know,
Speaker 1: they were raising their child the right way they do.
Speaker 1: They were doing the right things, and they have to
Speaker 1: be able to deal with these things. And not give
Speaker 1: any level of justice. You know, it's disgusting and I
Speaker 1: just want to tell you my heart goes out to you, brother, understand,
Speaker 1: you know, and we're gonna be fighting with you. You know,
Speaker 1: we're gonna do everything we can. We're gonna utilize our voices,
Speaker 1: our platforms, everything we came man to try to make
Speaker 1: sure that justice is served for you man. You know.
Speaker 1: As a final question, I just really want to ask you,
Speaker 1: you know, just listening to that, trying to just running
Speaker 1: back in my mind. You know, we we we we
Speaker 1: don't hear like she says, a lot of times, we
Speaker 1: don't hear the stories of a lot of fathers. Right.
Speaker 1: And when you've seen when when this happened to you,
Speaker 1: did you ever did this? Was it something that you
Speaker 1: even fathomed? Like looking back you've seen Trey von mar
Speaker 1: You've seen what was happened to Brianna Taylor. Like when
Speaker 1: you when you've seen that, did you ever fathom me
Speaker 1: your mind that this could actually be me? Right? And
Speaker 1: then and then after you didn't fathoms two part I
Speaker 1: don't want to cut you off with after you just
Speaker 1: couldn't think about it when you in it, does it
Speaker 1: give you a different sense of responsibility. Do you wish
Speaker 1: that before this had happened that you have been more vocal?
Speaker 1: Like how does that play up like for us? Like
Speaker 1: I never fathom this happening until me and farther being
Speaker 1: vocal always been voked in my community. That's why I
Speaker 1: feel at my I defended my step up everyone. I
Speaker 1: don't care black white Haitian made me more different. If
Speaker 1: I feel they're being wrong, I'm avorts my opinion or
Speaker 1: I'm gonna step forward or and mikeel like you know
Speaker 1: my community. Know I helped everyone all across four and
Speaker 1: I never fought in this happening to me. And like
Speaker 1: if I if I felt like that, I would have
Speaker 1: never allowed him to be out, you know. And it's
Speaker 1: just sad because within the last like years, so I
Speaker 1: finally let him stop going out. I always keep him
Speaker 1: in the neighborhood. But it's like, you know, I was
Speaker 1: telling his mom, you're not a baby anymore. Like you know,
Speaker 1: he got to find his way, and you know, I
Speaker 1: don't want to hold his hand and stop him from
Speaker 1: being a kid. At that was all over the place.
Speaker 1: So it's like, you know, I had just started allowing
Speaker 1: him to go out because I feel I always feel
Speaker 1: getting the phone calls and something happened with my kids,
Speaker 1: and I will always tell his mom that's why, you know,
Speaker 1: I was raising him like you know, no this ShredIt
Speaker 1: to his mom, but I just felt like I could
Speaker 1: protect to provide better his mom, and you know she
Speaker 1: felt the same way about it. Once. I have another son,
Speaker 1: and I my kids with my world, Like you know,
Speaker 1: I always shore them, making shure nothing happened to them,
Speaker 1: you know, making sure that they got what they needed
Speaker 1: the or what they needed to be always with me
Speaker 1: because I felt like like I could protect them, you know.
Speaker 1: And I know you said it was a final question,
Speaker 1: and it's just just listening to you knowing that because
Speaker 1: I talked to people and we came down for the
Speaker 1: two or three occasions where we've been there with your family,
Speaker 1: we have talked to individuals and we know how active
Speaker 1: you are in your community. People are saying they cannot
Speaker 1: believe this happened to you because they already knew you
Speaker 1: to be someone who was out there in the community
Speaker 1: with the people. And that goes to show that it No,
Speaker 1: none of us are exempt. It could be any one
Speaker 1: of us at any time, including us as the adults,
Speaker 1: our children, our seniors, any one of us at any
Speaker 1: time that is a victim of this uh, this system
Speaker 1: of white supremacy, of racism, of tyranny, of terrorism that
Speaker 1: are our people deal with. And I heard you say
Speaker 1: that you feel like you failed. I want to tap
Speaker 1: into that, right because so many of our fathers feel
Speaker 1: like they weren't able to be there to stop something
Speaker 1: from happening. And I just want to tap into that
Speaker 1: feeling that you are experiencing and then just get you
Speaker 1: to tell the community what is it that your family needs,
Speaker 1: going back to feel them that I felt them when
Speaker 1: he was born. I hold him in my hand. I
Speaker 1: told him I will always to protect and as she
Speaker 1: was going through school and things, that makes our other
Speaker 1: plan for something bad, no matter what the situation is.
Speaker 1: We're being a fixed no matter what. Like I said,
Speaker 1: I had a perfect child, never been in trouble in school,
Speaker 1: never been in trouble in home. Dellabatorian Student of the Week,
Speaker 1: eight weeks in a road on a road street, never
Speaker 1: been disrespecting no one. And you know me standing over
Speaker 1: the body, That's what I felt like. I just had
Speaker 1: the reil in my hand and I just dropped. M
Speaker 1: damn me not keeping my word telling him that I
Speaker 1: would always be that I would always do that for him,
Speaker 1: and me knowing that he was trying to get back
Speaker 1: to me because he believed those words that I always
Speaker 1: spoke to me, and I feel like I just didn't
Speaker 1: keep my hand to deal, like if I was there
Speaker 1: no doubt in my mind, he would have had to
Speaker 1: kill me before I would ever letting hand my child.
Speaker 1: And every day I think about, like, man, I wish
Speaker 1: I could have been the roar. I should have bought
Speaker 1: him this or you know, I'm like I don't have
Speaker 1: to buy him back since he was three, so you know,
Speaker 1: like it was just another ordinary day. But like I said,
Speaker 1: me feeling like I felt like I wasn't there and
Speaker 1: at all the places that you know, I could have
Speaker 1: been in the world, Like I just felt like I
Speaker 1: should have been there and I ain't. The day that
Speaker 1: that That's what even there more than anything, because I
Speaker 1: felt like I told him those words, and my son
Speaker 1: believe anything I said. I could have told me the
Speaker 1: style was yellow and give it when I didn't said
Speaker 1: it was because he had just got much belief and
Speaker 1: faith in me. And for me not to be able
Speaker 1: too to back on what I said. You know, that's
Speaker 1: why I feel like I felt. I just want you
Speaker 1: to know something. You know, for thirteen years, like you said,
Speaker 1: you raised a perfect young man, and you did everything
Speaker 1: you could. And sometimes the things that we can't foresee
Speaker 1: as human beings and human nature takes his course to
Speaker 1: and sometimes it doesn't make sense to us. But just
Speaker 1: listen to the level of you know, the level of passion,
Speaker 1: you know, the manhood demand that you stand as today,
Speaker 1: the way that you still fight those times that I've
Speaker 1: seen you walk into those rooms and you demand justice,
Speaker 1: and the way that you you standing up in that community,
Speaker 1: and the way that you make sure that his legacy
Speaker 1: is still here, and the way that you still fight
Speaker 1: for justice for him is what you said you was
Speaker 1: gonna do. So you didn't fail. Brother. I just want
Speaker 1: you to know that, man, and you deserve everything. You're
Speaker 1: a good father man and heavy Father's Day because you
Speaker 1: deserve it. Can Yeah, you didn't fail, and it may
Speaker 1: not seem like it's today, but I've had to have
Speaker 1: this conversation with a lot of families. Unfortunately, some times
Speaker 1: there's a sacrifice made on behalf of all of us,
Speaker 1: and Stanley Davis, the third s J is going to
Speaker 1: be one to change the way that policing happens, at
Speaker 1: least in Boyton Beach, but hopefully all over the country
Speaker 1: and then all over the world. Thirteen years old. It
Speaker 1: pulls at the heartstrings. And that's how young he had
Speaker 1: to be taken so that no one can ignore or
Speaker 1: make him just another person who was killed by a
Speaker 1: racist cop. It had to be his age. He had
Speaker 1: to be the perfect kid that was on the honor roll,
Speaker 1: so they don't come up with all of these excuses
Speaker 1: to make him a criminal, to make him all of
Speaker 1: them the bad things that they try to say, which
Speaker 1: we would still I don't care what he may or
Speaker 1: may not have been. We would fight for your son.
Speaker 1: But all of the things that you have said about
Speaker 1: him makes him the perfect candidate to sacrifice his life
Speaker 1: on behalf of all of us to save us. So
Speaker 1: for this Father's Day, we want you to know that
Speaker 1: we will be here. We told you that and we
Speaker 1: meant it, and we will continue to stick with you
Speaker 1: and your family until the end. Tell folks how they
Speaker 1: can be helpful. I know you have a petition, what
Speaker 1: can we all do to support you? Really, his mom
Speaker 1: been pushing from petition. We just spoke about it earlier.
Speaker 1: It's just pretty much being vocal, you know, signing petition,
Speaker 1: like using your platform whatever platform and social media or whatever,
Speaker 1: using the platform to get up to get the story out.
Speaker 1: And then you know, I'm not I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: a big talking you know, I just I just feel
Speaker 1: like they said, even the trade Martin and things with
Speaker 1: that nature, just you got to be heard, and it's
Speaker 1: like it's being heard, but it's not being heard because
Speaker 1: we still have these same things happening every day. Like
Speaker 1: the only way I feel like it's gonna change. And
Speaker 1: I like you said, they're being a rushed or they're
Speaker 1: taking their pension, or people start getting active, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. And I know I shouldn't be thinking
Speaker 1: like that, but that's the only way I feel like
Speaker 1: it don't changed. We can sign moment partition, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean. At the end of the day, if if,
Speaker 1: if you gotta understand this, the union all cost the
Speaker 1: man for the police union. So you know, my son
Speaker 1: of treyvonman or Core Jones, my childhood grew up with
Speaker 1: just another you know, you know the word. You know,
Speaker 1: it's sad, like no matter what we do is it's
Speaker 1: never gonna be enough because they got all the right people,
Speaker 1: the right position get you give us one, okay, years one.
Speaker 1: Obviously you've got Tim more like him in the same city.
Speaker 1: So it's like at the end of the day, I
Speaker 1: don't feel like it's going really be no change. I
Speaker 1: just I just want to send you some energy, positive,
Speaker 1: some positive energy, because I know the devil was always
Speaker 1: busy in these times. Man, but I want you to
Speaker 1: know that, you know you definitely one of those is
Speaker 1: God's creatures, man, God's children. Man, So keep have faith.
Speaker 1: Don't ever lose faith, man, don't ever lose it. I
Speaker 1: know it seems hard. So I haven't been having faith.
Speaker 1: Friday today, man, I was so happy. Man, I'm a kid.
Speaker 1: I do everything with him, like right now, you know,
Speaker 1: the summertime, like three and friends, they're back down the pool.
Speaker 1: I would have ten of them here. I can't get
Speaker 1: rid of them every break. You know. It's just like
Speaker 1: I was so happy, man, you know, just being like
Speaker 1: you know, entrepreneur, just teaching my son, like he was
Speaker 1: talking about college, and you know he was like, Dad,
Speaker 1: you know, I've been to college and we're going so well,
Speaker 1: and I was teaching about you know, things about own
Speaker 1: like I have to go to college to go fine.
Speaker 1: You know, I have a truffing company. Since that's happened
Speaker 1: with my son, I hadn't text the truck luck to him.
Speaker 1: I don't nobody to go out. And it's just you know,
Speaker 1: my son was into breathing dogs. You know. I bought
Speaker 1: him all the dogs, and just recently last week, I
Speaker 1: just nearly gave them away. I gave away my dog.
Speaker 1: It's like I can't bear you know, what I'm going through.
Speaker 1: And it's just like I'm not happy. I watched my
Speaker 1: business pretty much, you know, going on this. It's like
Speaker 1: I'm not happy. I don't have a happy moment. You know,
Speaker 1: my other son. You know, I went months without speaking
Speaker 1: for my when I had my kids every day. I
Speaker 1: guess my stage is like this, this this is just
Speaker 1: destroys the family. Yes, sir, yeah, would you give your
Speaker 1: head up? Yeah? You know sometimes you know you gotta
Speaker 1: go through it. You get through it. Man. It's a lot. Man,
Speaker 1: You're dealing with a lot. You got heavy burden to carry. Man,
Speaker 1: But God give us his toughest battle to the strongest
Speaker 1: Soldiers game. So I know it seems tough, but it's
Speaker 1: gonna you know, justice. I think justice will help you
Speaker 1: feel a little little bit better. So that's what we
Speaker 1: will be fighting for. Thank you so much for joining
Speaker 1: us today. We're gonna be telling the story of Stanley
Speaker 1: Davis the Third s J all over the world. Wherever
Speaker 1: we go, we will take your son with us. God
Speaker 1: bless you. That's how we own it. Wow. You know,
Speaker 1: just hearing the pain is Stanley David Junior's voice took
Speaker 1: a lot of my energy. You notice, usually have a lot,
Speaker 1: but just hearing him and you can tell he's a
Speaker 1: strong man. He's a strong man, and he feels defeated,
Speaker 1: like when you feel like you failed you that's no
Speaker 1: man wants to feel like he failed this job. You know,
Speaker 1: we don't like to feel like we feel anything. Just
Speaker 1: knowing that his child is not here and you feel
Speaker 1: like he failed as a father. You know, you can
Speaker 1: tell you successful businessman, all these things, but you feel
Speaker 1: like he felt because he wasn't there. And I didn't
Speaker 1: want to make him relive the trauma, but I really
Speaker 1: wanted to ask him because sometimes it's just important for
Speaker 1: our people to hear the story and get into the
Speaker 1: details so we can like own it like it's our own.
Speaker 1: So we could go out and tell people the story
Speaker 1: the same way we do for Brianna Taylor. We should
Speaker 1: be doing that. Fan. But I when he said my
Speaker 1: son tried to make it back to me. I remember
Speaker 1: Shannon Um s James Stanley Davis the third, he's affectionately
Speaker 1: known as s J. I remember her saying that he
Speaker 1: was going in the direction of the house or wherever
Speaker 1: his dad was, so he was probably trying to make
Speaker 1: it back to his family before this man ran him
Speaker 1: off the roat. It's just too much. I just I
Speaker 1: don't even want to talk. And so we're dealing with
Speaker 1: so much death, right, young black males are dying. Um
Speaker 1: the brother Trouble with young rapper from Atlanta. What does
Speaker 1: he rap about? I mean, who was I actually met
Speaker 1: Trouble a couple of times of trade. Trade introduced me
Speaker 1: to Trouble in Miami, and I has just lost soul.
Speaker 1: He was a good rapper man. You know, it was street,
Speaker 1: it was street music, it was based around street music.
Speaker 1: But he was a positive dude. You can see you
Speaker 1: can actually hear him his elevation and evolved into someone
Speaker 1: who was, you know, just street conscious and just being realistic.
Speaker 1: You know, Tod how he lost his life, you know,
Speaker 1: gunned down in the girl's house. He was dealing with
Speaker 1: a strange ex boyfriend, you know over well, she said,
Speaker 1: I read, I read, and I think it was in
Speaker 1: the police report, because that's where it looked like online
Speaker 1: that you know, on the internet, they chopped stuff up
Speaker 1: and do whatever they want. So I can't be too sure,
Speaker 1: but I read that in her her statement to the police,
Speaker 1: she mentions that this guy and they were together just
Speaker 1: a week ago. So when you know, when you say
Speaker 1: it's strange an x, yeah, a week I mean you
Speaker 1: see him when he was being arrested like a big dummy. Yeah,
Speaker 1: It's just I've just never been that tape. I'm not
Speaker 1: beating you. I don't even want to fight you over
Speaker 1: a girl that didn't want me. But I just I
Speaker 1: don't know. Everybody is different, Like you know, a lot
Speaker 1: of us haven't learned how to deal with our emotions,
Speaker 1: how to put those things. And if you go to
Speaker 1: a girl's house and another men's did I mean she
Speaker 1: didn't force his win let you know. Yeah, But you
Speaker 1: know when you say, well, this is a whole different
Speaker 1: days conversation because when you say somebody that doesn't want me.
Speaker 1: Oftentimes and I'm not saying I don't know this young lady,
Speaker 1: she could have been trying to get out of relationship.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but sometimes we say somebody, I don't
Speaker 1: you know. These things should show a person that I
Speaker 1: don't that this that you're no longer interested. But it's
Speaker 1: the it's your mannerisms, how you treat a person, and
Speaker 1: also the things that you say. Some things are said,
Speaker 1: some things just feel a certain way. If you are
Speaker 1: not very clear with people verbally, emotionally, and physically that
Speaker 1: you are done, people will get the impression that they
Speaker 1: should be fighting because they believe that there's hope. So
Speaker 1: hopefully that that's not well. I mean we will do
Speaker 1: crazy see things after they feel like whatever. I think
Speaker 1: it's I mean, you you break up, you're in a situation. Whatever,
Speaker 1: you don't break up. This is a situation. Is this
Speaker 1: is anger and all this, but you're killing some money.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't you know. The man lost his life
Speaker 1: over something that definitely should have been avoided. So I
Speaker 1: just want to say, r I P. You know, we
Speaker 1: we're losing so many young black men. You know, we're
Speaker 1: using babies. Police is killing us. We're killing us, you know.
Speaker 1: And and that brings me to you know, this rally
Speaker 1: march meeting that I'm doing in the Bronx this Father's
Speaker 1: Day that I want everybody to be at, you know,
Speaker 1: and it's called we must protect our babies, you know,
Speaker 1: And it's against all of these things, against police violence
Speaker 1: against me black and black violence is against all the
Speaker 1: negativity as many in our communities. We have to take
Speaker 1: back our communities. You know. It's the things that I've
Speaker 1: I've hashtag core cower culture, and it's so many different
Speaker 1: things going on where men who were supposed to be
Speaker 1: men are doing things that are sold beneath him below.
Speaker 1: With manhood looks like and what it is. It was
Speaker 1: established for me that we have to re establish with
Speaker 1: manhood's right. We have to go back to when as men,
Speaker 1: our parks were safe, where the woman felt safe because
Speaker 1: there were certain men in our community the didn't know
Speaker 1: what there to protect even when you were doing hustling
Speaker 1: and anything. We protected the kids and the babies and
Speaker 1: the woman and they felt safe. They understood. Okay, he
Speaker 1: might be doing this part over here, he might be hustling,
Speaker 1: but I know that they're gonna protect this community. We're
Speaker 1: gonna help you with this your bags. If you need
Speaker 1: some money, we're gonna give you some groceries. There was
Speaker 1: a neighborhood, there was community, There was you know, we
Speaker 1: we we all had different things that we were dealing with.
Speaker 1: You know, poverty had a in my frame where we're
Speaker 1: trying to figure out how we're going to survive. But
Speaker 1: we wasn't trying to kill each other. We wasn't trying
Speaker 1: to take our lives. Our communities were well, I don't know,
Speaker 1: there was there, but it wasn't like today. There was
Speaker 1: there were unridden rules. You know, there were unridden rules
Speaker 1: that women and children were off limits, that you didn't
Speaker 1: shoot in parks where kids was. There was if you
Speaker 1: had beef, you waited to the nighttime, even though it
Speaker 1: wasn't right, but it was. There was unwritten rules that
Speaker 1: the kids and the women were supposed to be safe
Speaker 1: and it was supposed to be and then off limits.
Speaker 1: And I think, you know, we've moved so far from
Speaker 1: that that nothing is off limits, you know, And that's
Speaker 1: why I called this rally and this march on Father's
Speaker 1: Day because I think it stemmed from me from the
Speaker 1: young eleven year old girl who got shot and killed
Speaker 1: and I listened to in the Bronx and I just
Speaker 1: listened to her father cry. And just a week before that,
Speaker 1: the seventeen year boy was here with the Cobridge and
Speaker 1: we did in the Bronx, and it's just like you know,
Speaker 1: and I'm in front of Bronx, and I just wanted
Speaker 1: to convene in the Bronx to call all the fathers
Speaker 1: to meet us in the Bronx. You don't have to
Speaker 1: be in front of Bronx, but this is just actually
Speaker 1: where I'm from, you know, it's my community, and I
Speaker 1: wanted to convene there. So um, so on this Sunday,
Speaker 1: we're gonna be doing to march. It is going to
Speaker 1: be on the Foredom in the Grand Concourse. That's the
Speaker 1: gathering spot. Um. We're gonna all just rally and we're
Speaker 1: gonna meet, Like I said, we're gonna talk about solutions.
Speaker 1: Is gonna be or a lot of different violence interrupters.
Speaker 1: People have already been doing this work. Like I said,
Speaker 1: it's a coalition of a lot of people who've been
Speaker 1: doing this work. We have s OS, we have RPG,
Speaker 1: we have man Up, we have all different organizations that
Speaker 1: are in the Bronx that I've worked with on the daily,
Speaker 1: and we've all decided that we're gonna come together to
Speaker 1: be people from different sites, not even in the Bronx worldwide,
Speaker 1: people who reached out, um, you welcome. Also, they'll probably
Speaker 1: be system brother marches, different people you know, other places.
Speaker 1: But it's just it's really just us saying that we're
Speaker 1: taking back our communities, right, you know, like you said,
Speaker 1: the world has existed, they've been doing this work. It's
Speaker 1: not new. It's just I think the strategy of us
Speaker 1: unifying all of them and then being able to highlight
Speaker 1: people in their their particular areas, and we're coming to
Speaker 1: your community and saying, hey, this person is part of
Speaker 1: our our team. We all as a team, and we're
Speaker 1: all pouring resources into that individual. And then we're pouring
Speaker 1: resources into that individual as we come to their communities
Speaker 1: and we continue to do that and then it's known
Speaker 1: as this is what it is, you know, And I
Speaker 1: think that's a strategy. And then we also want to
Speaker 1: incorporate you know, the help of different artists from the
Speaker 1: community is because as an artist, you have responsibility and
Speaker 1: when you're screaming out that block, I'm from this black
Speaker 1: hole day and you have responsibility to make sure nobody
Speaker 1: done on that block. So we want to incorporate artists,
Speaker 1: We want to make sure that you know, the radio stations,
Speaker 1: everybody is involved. If you're not involved in, you know,
Speaker 1: the stopping of black murder in our communities, then you're
Speaker 1: not for our communities. So you know that's that's gonna
Speaker 1: be one of the main focuses for me and in
Speaker 1: a lot of different organizations and with the coalition, And
Speaker 1: it's gonna be on Sunday, you know, on Sunday Father's Day.
Speaker 1: Am at Fordham Road in Grand Concourse. What is it
Speaker 1: called Big Punt Plaza now they call it, Yes, they
Speaker 1: changed the name to Big Punt Plaza. So make sure
Speaker 1: you're out there as we together. And that brings you
Speaker 1: to my I'm gonna fire today these lights whoa's on fire?
Speaker 1: I don't get why, I'm so damn but it all,
Speaker 1: it all correlates into the same thing. Oh don't I
Speaker 1: don't get it today. It's based on a video I say,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you've seen it, watch there was
Speaker 1: theseus Oh no, it was all aways needs. I seen
Speaker 1: it like last week, and I was really just sitting
Speaker 1: here trying to figure out how to I even see
Speaker 1: something about it. We were just dealing with so many
Speaker 1: different things. And I had this video and there's a
Speaker 1: car chase. A car is driving alongside a guy. He's
Speaker 1: running with his baby stroll and it's a kid. What
Speaker 1: I'm seeing is the kids are watching it on their
Speaker 1: cell phone, and I guess they see what happened. They're like, yo,
Speaker 1: look he chases. Look and we got the stroll, he
Speaker 1: got the shore. They're laughing, you know. And then at
Speaker 1: the end of the video, you don't see what happens.
Speaker 1: You just see the baby inside the garbage can't crying,
Speaker 1: probably two years old. The baby is inside the garbage,
Speaker 1: playing and the baby's crying and they're like, whoa, he
Speaker 1: threw his baby in the garnage, and they're laughing. And
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, so the people on the video are
Speaker 1: not associated with them, I don't know. I can't tell
Speaker 1: you whether they are not, because I don't know how
Speaker 1: they would have the video if they weren't associated with it,
Speaker 1: or maybe they did somebody sent it to him. I
Speaker 1: don't know what it was, but I know that you
Speaker 1: see the guy running, he has the stroll and he's running.
Speaker 1: They're like where you going? Where are you going? Where
Speaker 1: you're going? And they're like driving alongside of him as
Speaker 1: he runs, and you don't see them actually put the
Speaker 1: kid in the garbage when there's a picture of the
Speaker 1: baby upside down and he's crying inside the garlage, and
Speaker 1: and I just did they kill the guy? I don't
Speaker 1: know what happened to the guy, so you don't see
Speaker 1: that anymore. I don't know what. I just know that
Speaker 1: the baby was inside the garnage and he was crying.
Speaker 1: They took a picture of it, and they made it
Speaker 1: as if they had did the biggest thing. And know
Speaker 1: they know not to play with me, and it was
Speaker 1: some tough It was a badger honor, and to me,
Speaker 1: it was the most cowarsh that I've ever seen. Like
Speaker 1: every day I say that, right, and it feels like
Speaker 1: it gets more and more cowardy, cowardly. I think I
Speaker 1: only want to el cawarity. You know, It's like, at
Speaker 1: what point, dude, we say as man like I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna sink this. But I don't even understand the mind
Speaker 1: state of a man that would throw a baby in
Speaker 1: the garbage, because you got to quote unquote some type
Speaker 1: of beef with the father, Like what when did we
Speaker 1: move that far from integrity? You know? And these kids
Speaker 1: was laughing like it was really such funny, like there
Speaker 1: was something they did. And then people asked was he
Speaker 1: right or what they right a wrong for what they did?
Speaker 1: And I'm like, how how does that a question? You know,
Speaker 1: I don't get I don't people was asking that they
Speaker 1: write along, they asked on the video, they wrote was
Speaker 1: they threw the bag to be in the garbage? Where
Speaker 1: they right a wrong? Because this is his option if
Speaker 1: you catch the baby and whatever it is, it's it's
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's all games. And this is a
Speaker 1: mindstake that we have now. And it's like for me,
Speaker 1: were it's anarchy, It's this is straight we are there's
Speaker 1: no level of anything. And I really just don't get it, man.
Speaker 1: And I'm hoping that we get back to some level,
Speaker 1: hoping that this march and you know, this boycott Black
Speaker 1: Murder movement, you know, move coalition and just connected with
Speaker 1: the Brothers who have been doing this work, and assistance
Speaker 1: who have been doing this work, and everyone who's been
Speaker 1: doing this work, and just really coming together under one unbrellable,
Speaker 1: one strategy to make sure that everybody gets the resources
Speaker 1: and the opportunities and everything needed to make some significant change, right.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking forward to that. Yeah, I mean, I
Speaker 1: think the great thing about Boycott Black Murder, where we
Speaker 1: really are focused on shifting the narrative, enforcing corporations, radio stations, artists, individuals,
Speaker 1: everybody who has an influence to start really uh, you know,
Speaker 1: sort of participating, as you said, in this movement to
Speaker 1: end the violence. The just just like the overwhelming level
Speaker 1: of violence that's happening in our community and stupidity. To
Speaker 1: do that, it's gonna take more than one meeting, more
Speaker 1: than one march. So when people say, why are you
Speaker 1: guys out there, we have to keep being out there.
Speaker 1: We can't ever allow it to be that people in
Speaker 1: the community feel like, oh, well, we're just killing and
Speaker 1: that's it, and that the robbers and the and the
Speaker 1: scammers and the abuses and all of those who are
Speaker 1: causing this type of environment that they think that they
Speaker 1: just free to roam and that they're not people like
Speaker 1: us who show up to shine a light on them
Speaker 1: and to shine a light on their communities. And people
Speaker 1: in the community need to know that they have support
Speaker 1: and that they are loved, and that folks are here
Speaker 1: to pay attention. So we're gonna keep marching, We're gonna
Speaker 1: keep gathering, We're gonna keep needing and talking about different
Speaker 1: ways to uh, you know, to engage in this work.
Speaker 1: And after we finished marching together, we're gonna go to
Speaker 1: a location that will be announced and feed families on
Speaker 1: Father's Day, hoping that we get some brothers to come
Speaker 1: out um and and get groceries for their family members,
Speaker 1: very similar to what we did in Buffalo. Because there's
Speaker 1: a mass shooting happen and every day just right here.
Speaker 1: I think it's hypocritical of us to fly to other
Speaker 1: cities and other places because of because of because of
Speaker 1: because we feed families and feed people around the nation,
Speaker 1: we've done it many times, but because of ten people,
Speaker 1: ten of our seniors are elders being slaughtered in one place,
Speaker 1: everybody is gonna go there. Everybody is going to bring resources,
Speaker 1: and we should and we should and we have to,
Speaker 1: but we also have to realize that ten people have
Speaker 1: been killed or hurt, murdered, slaughtered, abuse, attack in different
Speaker 1: pockets of the city just over the weekend, in that past,
Speaker 1: just in the last several days. We have to see
Speaker 1: that at the same level that we do our seniors
Speaker 1: outside of a grocery store. And if we bring resources
Speaker 1: to Bath Buffalo, We've got to bring resources to the Bronx.
Speaker 1: We've got to bring resources to the South side of Chicago.
Speaker 1: We've got to bring resources to Louisiana, to uh Latonia, Atlanta,
Speaker 1: you name the cities where our people are hurting and
Speaker 1: where where these violent incidents are happening. We gotta beat them,
Speaker 1: be present because you know there is mass murder of
Speaker 1: black people happening everywhere. H said. It has to be
Speaker 1: a culture shift, man. We have to make it not
Speaker 1: cool like this can't be cool for somebody to do
Speaker 1: a baby. You can't be I k and shot. It
Speaker 1: can't be cool, like there can't be any level of acceptance.
Speaker 1: There has to be ostraciation. Ostracization. You have to be
Speaker 1: ostracized if you're in the community and your course and
Speaker 1: have it and we can have it on our community.
Speaker 1: So it's a new day. It's a new movement and
Speaker 1: we ain't taking no points. And with that said, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna always be right, but I'm how to sail
Speaker 1: to me. It's not gonna always be wrong, but we're
Speaker 1: gonna both always and I mean always be that. Listen
