Good to see you 8 00:00:17,239 --> 00:00:17,880 Speaker 1: brothers again. 9 00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 3: How are you feeling it? I'm all right, I'm all right. 10 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:22,600 Speaker 3: You see we got you on the wall over there. Brother, 11 00:00:22,760 --> 00:00:23,680 Speaker 3: You ain't even see it. 12 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:24,880 Speaker 2: You even see itself right there? 13 00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,160 Speaker 1: Yes, man, good looking out. You're looking out all right. 14 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:34,479 Speaker 3: How does doctor Umar feel about being the black boogeyman 15 00:00:34,560 --> 00:00:35,720 Speaker 3: for interracial relationship? 16 00:00:37,479 --> 00:00:40,760 Speaker 1: It's good and it's bad. The good side is I 17 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,360 Speaker 1: hear from a lot of brothers who have gave up 18 00:00:43,360 --> 00:00:46,879 Speaker 1: the bunny hopping. They send me messages in box. They 19 00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: stopped me at the airport, so I do see the 20 00:00:49,360 --> 00:00:51,720 Speaker 1: positive effect. You know, brother, I'm with a queen now, 21 00:00:51,760 --> 00:00:53,840 Speaker 1: I see the difference. If I never listened to you, 22 00:00:53,880 --> 00:00:56,680 Speaker 1: I would have never really evaluated my behavior. That's the 23 00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 1: good side. 24 00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:57,480 Speaker 3: Got. 25 00:00:57,760 --> 00:00:59,760 Speaker 1: The not so good side is also get the hate 26 00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,040 Speaker 1: mail from brothers who I committed to the bunny hopping. 27 00:01:02,160 --> 00:01:05,479 Speaker 1: Gotcha right, and they can be very aggressive and their 28 00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,039 Speaker 1: repudiation of my position. I was at the airport coming 29 00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,960 Speaker 1: from Atlanta last week, and I don't know what they 30 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 1: be expected, but when I see a brother with his 31 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,200 Speaker 1: snow bunny at the airport, it's almost as if they 32 00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,960 Speaker 1: expect me to approach them or something like we're going 33 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:22,600 Speaker 1: through security, the brother with the white girl, and they 34 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:24,440 Speaker 1: looking at me like like they wait for me to 35 00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,400 Speaker 1: swing on them or something. I'm like, bro, it ain't 36 00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,720 Speaker 1: that the man, Your life is your life. I still 37 00:01:28,720 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 1: respect you as a human being. I just don't think 38 00:01:30,959 --> 00:01:32,720 Speaker 1: your selection is in the best interest to where black 39 00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: people need to be headed, that's all. But when I 40 00:01:34,520 --> 00:01:38,960 Speaker 1: see them interracial couples, man, they look like they're getting 41 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:40,280 Speaker 1: ready for war or something. 42 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean because the things you say. They don't 43 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,760 Speaker 2: know what you're gonna say, what gonna come out your mouth, 44 00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: if you gonna grunt, if you're gonna say something. So 45 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,440 Speaker 2: they gotta they gotta repair themselves, right. 46 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:51,640 Speaker 1: But see the essence of the messages still love though, 47 00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 1: So even if I disagree with what you're doing, we 48 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: still family at some level, and she's still a human 49 00:01:57,680 --> 00:02:01,640 Speaker 1: being regardless. So you know, sometimes they'll come up to 50 00:02:01,680 --> 00:02:03,680 Speaker 1: me as a couple and I'll speak to them as 51 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: a couple and they may say, what can you explain 52 00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:07,080 Speaker 1: why you don't really agree what we're doing, And I'll 53 00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 1: do it in a very respectful tone. And I've never 54 00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:11,919 Speaker 1: had an issue when we had those conversations. So from 55 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,120 Speaker 1: where my perspective is, I'm like, yeah, I'm strong in 56 00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:17,040 Speaker 1: my position, but I'm still leading with love. So nobody 57 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:19,440 Speaker 1: should ever feel some type of way about seeing me 58 00:02:19,480 --> 00:02:21,200 Speaker 1: in public, although they do. 59 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 3: I told you I was all the way in zanza Bal. 60 00:02:23,120 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 3: I sent you the video doctor ball. I was in 61 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,760 Speaker 3: Zanzibal and a brother whom zanzer Bal was talking to 62 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:29,359 Speaker 3: me and he was saying how much he like a 63 00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,120 Speaker 3: lot of the things doctor Wumar said. But he's like, 64 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 3: I just don't understand his position on the snow bunnies. 65 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: It's a contradiction about how you cut the cake. Because 66 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: those children who are going to be black, how can 67 00:02:42,120 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: you tell them be black and proud? If you didn't 68 00:02:45,280 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: make them with a black woman, you chose to incubate 69 00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:52,480 Speaker 1: your seed in a non African woman. How can you 70 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,320 Speaker 1: then turn around and raise those children to be black 71 00:02:55,360 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: and proud, when if you were black and proud, you 72 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:00,880 Speaker 1: would have chose a black woman to canbate your seed. 73 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,560 Speaker 1: Then it doesn't make sense for the descendant of the 74 00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:06,640 Speaker 1: slave to be planning his seed in the descendant of 75 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,000 Speaker 1: the slave master. Now it's a complete contradiction. 76 00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 2: What do your views? Has your views changed on mixed 77 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:14,079 Speaker 2: people right? Because you know people will say, even if 78 00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 2: you have a drop of black blood in you, you're black. 79 00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,240 Speaker 1: I do the one parent rule, Okay, So for me, 80 00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 1: if one of your parents are black, you're black. Take Drake, 81 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:26,880 Speaker 1: if he identifies as black, full time, he black. And 82 00:03:26,919 --> 00:03:28,880 Speaker 1: that's never been an issue for us within the Pan 83 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:31,200 Speaker 1: African movement, going back to the beginning of the time. 84 00:03:31,240 --> 00:03:35,560 Speaker 1: We've never rejected the offspring of the union because nobody's 85 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,960 Speaker 1: responsible for how they got here. And so that's why 86 00:03:38,040 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: Bob Marley, there's no contradiction for us. A lot of 87 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,720 Speaker 1: our ancestors were of mixed race. Frederick Douglas, who I'm 88 00:03:43,760 --> 00:03:46,960 Speaker 1: related to, it's no contradiction because you don't choose how 89 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:48,840 Speaker 1: you come into this world, but you still have the 90 00:03:48,960 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 1: DNA of Africa within you. But you got to identify 91 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,520 Speaker 1: full time. That's where it becomes an issue without Dominican 92 00:03:54,560 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: Republican brothers and sisters, Puerto Rican Africans of Cuban Africans, 93 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:02,240 Speaker 1: because sometimes they will either comempletely reject the African ancestry 94 00:04:02,440 --> 00:04:05,240 Speaker 1: right or they may say, I do have African ancestry, 95 00:04:05,320 --> 00:04:08,280 Speaker 1: but I don't not identify as Latino African. I'm Spanish. 96 00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:10,240 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. Or you look at what 97 00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,440 Speaker 1: goes on between the Dominican Republic and Haiti that whole 98 00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,280 Speaker 1: intense A light skin, dark skin, I'm African, you ain't 99 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,640 Speaker 1: African type of situation. We repudiate all that you either 100 00:04:20,680 --> 00:04:23,120 Speaker 1: black all the time or you black none of the time. 101 00:04:23,680 --> 00:04:26,400 Speaker 3: You know, people think because you have such a love 102 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:29,080 Speaker 3: for black people, that's for whatever reason, that translates to 103 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:31,000 Speaker 3: hate for white folks. 104 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 1: Absolutely not, because if that were true, why do I 105 00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,479 Speaker 1: get so many requests for help from white parents? Why 106 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: do I get so many requests for help from Asian parents? 107 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,359 Speaker 1: A raparents they don't have a problem. Text in my 108 00:04:40,400 --> 00:04:43,000 Speaker 1: phone saying hey, can I pay this consultation? I need 109 00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 1: you to look at my child psychological evaluation. I never 110 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:49,359 Speaker 1: get apprehension from white parents when they need my help 111 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:51,640 Speaker 1: on special education or mental health cases. You see what 112 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,160 Speaker 1: I'm saying. So if it were that bad, I would 113 00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 1: assume they would not be reaching out to me. They 114 00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:59,000 Speaker 1: have no issue reaching out to me, and they don't 115 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:02,719 Speaker 1: go through a filter. They come direct, even the snow bunnies. Listen, 116 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 1: I know how you feel about that. I need help 117 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:07,159 Speaker 1: with my son. He's a white boy, blond hair, blue eyes. 118 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: Will you help us pay the fee? 119 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,480 Speaker 3: I got you, And if you hated them, you wouldn't 120 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 3: get off of the help. 121 00:05:11,200 --> 00:05:12,600 Speaker 1: Why would I help him at all? You see what 122 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:14,680 Speaker 1: I'm saying. Some of them buy my book too. They say, hey, 123 00:05:14,720 --> 00:05:18,240 Speaker 1: I know your book is towards black families, but the 124 00:05:18,320 --> 00:05:20,160 Speaker 1: information in there we can use it too. 125 00:05:20,480 --> 00:05:22,720 Speaker 2: So do white parents ever call you and say, hey, 126 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,360 Speaker 2: my white son or my white daughter is into this 127 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:28,080 Speaker 2: black boy or black girl and we need to we 128 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:29,800 Speaker 2: want to RaSE him from there. Do they ever call 129 00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 2: you for that? 130 00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:32,839 Speaker 1: No? I get the opposite. I'll get the black mother 131 00:05:33,080 --> 00:05:35,680 Speaker 1: who say, doctor, Uma, my son is bunny hopping and 132 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:37,400 Speaker 1: it looks like he has a point of no return. 133 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,840 Speaker 1: Can you help me out? That's what I get. Do 134 00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: you have a camp, because I am I need a 135 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,840 Speaker 1: camp that's a good idea. What they do bunny hopping recovery. 136 00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:50,440 Speaker 1: Bunny hopper is anonymous a camp. I need a camp. 137 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,839 Speaker 1: That's not a bad idea, that is a very good idea. 138 00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:54,480 Speaker 1: You just gave you an idea. So what they do? 139 00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:56,279 Speaker 1: Call you? How do you bring my God? They be 140 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,120 Speaker 1: upset like doctor uh, he's taking a white girl to 141 00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:00,040 Speaker 1: the prime And I thought that was it. No no, no, 142 00:06:00,880 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 1: she's living with him in his dorm. No no, no, 143 00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:05,880 Speaker 1: they're about to move in together. No no, no, she's pregnant. 144 00:06:05,960 --> 00:06:08,000 Speaker 1: Now what can I do? And the first thing I 145 00:06:08,080 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 1: say to the black mother is are you sure you 146 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:17,720 Speaker 1: did not model love or addiction to whiteness before your son? 147 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,280 Speaker 1: Because many of these mothers who have an issue with 148 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,359 Speaker 1: this son with the white girl god, blond hair, blind weave. 149 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:26,120 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying of the green contacts, Like 150 00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,800 Speaker 1: I'm looking at how you present yourself. You look like 151 00:06:28,839 --> 00:06:30,520 Speaker 1: you're trying to be a white girl. So if the 152 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 1: mother is imitating whiteness, why wouldn't the son be attracted 153 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: to it? Because your first love affair is with your mother, 154 00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,719 Speaker 1: not sexually, psychosocially. So therefore, if I see my mother 155 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,320 Speaker 1: imitating white women? Are you not indirectly through your behavior 156 00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 1: suggesting that I date white females. So I think a 157 00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,599 Speaker 1: lot of black mothers have to really check themselves with 158 00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:55,960 Speaker 1: regard to how they're modeling the fact that they believe 159 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,320 Speaker 1: within themselves as a woman that white women are more attractive. 160 00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:01,039 Speaker 3: And I want to ask you some Columbus Shaw says, 161 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 3: since we're talking about that, you said he got some 162 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:05,480 Speaker 3: heat for saying that black men are dating outside their 163 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 3: race because most Black women are raised by single mothers 164 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:12,400 Speaker 3: and absentee fathers and taught a don't need a man mentality. 165 00:07:12,520 --> 00:07:13,200 Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on? 166 00:07:13,320 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 1: Well, here's what I would say to my brother, Columbus 167 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:19,160 Speaker 1: Short and I'm a fan of his. Are we not 168 00:07:19,280 --> 00:07:23,880 Speaker 1: all victims of the systemic oppression and injustice that racism 169 00:07:23,880 --> 00:07:27,040 Speaker 1: has introduced into our community? So, just as you have 170 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:30,120 Speaker 1: black women who didn't grow up with their father, you 171 00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: have black men who didn't grow up with their fathers 172 00:07:32,840 --> 00:07:35,920 Speaker 1: or their mothers. In other words, why is it acceptable 173 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:38,880 Speaker 1: for the black man raised by a black woman without 174 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,480 Speaker 1: his dad to reject a black woman raised by her 175 00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,640 Speaker 1: mother without her dad. I think sometimes black men can 176 00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 1: be guilty of a double standard where we want a 177 00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,760 Speaker 1: perfect offering when we ourselves are not a perfect offering. 178 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: And to that point, I think black men need to 179 00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:57,200 Speaker 1: recognize the fact that one of the reasons we have 180 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 1: so much conflict with black women is because we don't 181 00:08:00,240 --> 00:08:03,720 Speaker 1: operate on a masculine platform with our women all the time. 182 00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: We tend to operate on a female platform, for example, 183 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,760 Speaker 1: when the woman gets angry, rather than you trying to 184 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:15,040 Speaker 1: understand your queen nine emotionally. So you can't have both 185 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:18,480 Speaker 1: people in a relationship with a low emotional IQ because 186 00:08:18,480 --> 00:08:20,480 Speaker 1: of both people in the home. If you and your 187 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,560 Speaker 1: wife both have a low emotional IQ, if you and 188 00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,119 Speaker 1: your wife both have a low emotional IQ, y'all gonna 189 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,080 Speaker 1: argue over everything because nobody says, I am not gonna 190 00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,720 Speaker 1: emote over this. I'm not gonna deal with this with feelings. 191 00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:36,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna use reason and intelligence. That's what the man 192 00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:39,480 Speaker 1: is supposed to do. But guess what we do. Raised 193 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: by single mothers, many of us, we reflect right back 194 00:08:42,440 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 1: to them that emotional trauma that they're throwing on us. 195 00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:48,320 Speaker 1: So in essays, you have two females arguing, although one 196 00:08:48,360 --> 00:08:50,959 Speaker 1: is in a man's body. Black men have to start 197 00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:54,520 Speaker 1: being masculine and less feminine. All this cattiness, this back 198 00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:56,760 Speaker 1: and forth between black men and black women on the 199 00:08:56,800 --> 00:09:00,760 Speaker 1: internet that is feminine and feminine. Masculinity operate like that. 200 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: Masculinity wants to understand where the woman is coming from. 201 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:09,960 Speaker 1: Masculinity wants to then intervene, study himself, evaluate his behavior, 202 00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:12,079 Speaker 1: and try to level up to where she needs him 203 00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:14,480 Speaker 1: to be. But arguing back and forth with women as 204 00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,520 Speaker 1: a man, that's anti masculine behavior. What we really needed 205 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:21,880 Speaker 1: some testosterone shots. We need more testosterone because black men 206 00:09:21,920 --> 00:09:26,160 Speaker 1: are mimicking female behavior emotionally and they're not even recognizing it. 207 00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:28,000 Speaker 3: I know a lot of women who have high emotional 208 00:09:28,040 --> 00:09:30,480 Speaker 3: like yous, who don't get caught up in the petty back. 209 00:09:30,400 --> 00:09:33,000 Speaker 1: And for yes certain yes, sir, But normally more often 210 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:36,000 Speaker 1: than not, it's supposed to be the male. Sometimes the 211 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:38,360 Speaker 1: women does have that, which is good, but that also 212 00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,960 Speaker 1: speaks to the fact that the women are becoming more 213 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: masculinized and the men are becoming more feminized, not in 214 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 1: terms of sexuality, but in terms of personality. The way 215 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:51,000 Speaker 1: that we are engaging each other in the back and 216 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: forth male female thing. If we want to get real 217 00:09:53,360 --> 00:09:57,480 Speaker 1: basic about it. You're dealing with two traumatized people who 218 00:09:57,640 --> 00:10:01,040 Speaker 1: have not healed themselves out. They're trying to make a 219 00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:05,320 Speaker 1: healthy relationship. Two unhappy people cannot make a healthy relationship. 220 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,640 Speaker 1: It is impossible. You cannot get water from oil. You 221 00:10:08,679 --> 00:10:11,760 Speaker 1: can't get oil from water. If she's traumatized because her 222 00:10:11,760 --> 00:10:16,080 Speaker 1: father abandoned her and he's traumatized because his mother chose 223 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: her second husband over him, you got to deal with 224 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,200 Speaker 1: those unmet childhood issues. Most of us are still dealing 225 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:26,320 Speaker 1: with unmet childhood issues, and we're giving the responsibility to 226 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:30,080 Speaker 1: our partner to heal us from demons that can only 227 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:33,440 Speaker 1: be here with our parents. My wife can't undo what 228 00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,000 Speaker 1: my mama did. I got to work with my mama. 229 00:10:36,160 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: Your husband can undo what your daddy did. You got 230 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: to work with your husband. But because we don't want 231 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,600 Speaker 1: to go back into the pain, because we've often eliminated 232 00:10:43,600 --> 00:10:45,640 Speaker 1: those people from my lives, we just say, you know what, 233 00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:47,360 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to work on this with my husband. 234 00:10:47,440 --> 00:10:49,120 Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to work on this with my wife. 235 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: They can be a support for you, but they can't 236 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: beat a solution. We have too many spiritual vampires floating 237 00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,240 Speaker 1: around the Black community. These are emotionally toxic people who 238 00:10:58,280 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: don't present themselves as they are to the opposite sex. 239 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,880 Speaker 1: They present their social self, their psychological mass, and you 240 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,320 Speaker 1: don't realize who they really are Envy and Charlotte Maye 241 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,719 Speaker 1: until somebody gets pregnant. Y'all moving together, get married, or 242 00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:13,800 Speaker 1: get engaged. The whole time y'all were dating, it was perfect. 243 00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:15,600 Speaker 1: You said, I've been dating my queen for ten years. 244 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:19,079 Speaker 1: We never had an issue, get married, divorced than six months. 245 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:21,840 Speaker 1: You know why, because once y'all moved in that house together, 246 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: your ego no longer wants to lie to her. Your 247 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:26,440 Speaker 1: ego no longer wants to lie to her Charlotte may 248 00:11:26,559 --> 00:11:29,360 Speaker 1: and her ego doesn't want to lie to you. So 249 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:31,959 Speaker 1: now you start seeing things that you never saw ten 250 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:35,080 Speaker 1: twenty years when y'all were dating, because in cross proximity, 251 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 1: the ego drops this mass. 252 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:41,200 Speaker 3: Damn doctor Whoma ain't playing the day. Let's get to it. 253 00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,319 Speaker 3: There's a lot of things to talk about. Do you 254 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 3: think President Biden should step down? 255 00:11:45,720 --> 00:11:48,360 Speaker 1: Do I think President Biden should step down? I got 256 00:11:48,360 --> 00:11:51,720 Speaker 1: a couple answers to that. On the one end, Presidents 257 00:11:51,720 --> 00:11:56,000 Speaker 1: don't make the final decisions anyway, So because they are puppets, 258 00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:59,440 Speaker 1: it really wouldn't matter if he stepped down or not. However, 259 00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,760 Speaker 1: from an optics perspective, he's showing against Donald Trump, and 260 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 1: that debate didn't look good at all, even though they 261 00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:09,520 Speaker 1: only three years apart. Right on the flip side, I'm 262 00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:13,319 Speaker 1: not too sure the Democratic Party is ready to anoint 263 00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: Kamala Harris as quote unquote commander in chief because, as 264 00:12:17,920 --> 00:12:21,040 Speaker 1: you know, in the post Barack Obama era, the last 265 00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,800 Speaker 1: thing poor white America wants to see is another black 266 00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:26,199 Speaker 1: person that's commander in chief. So I don't think they 267 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 1: necessarily want to go that route. They don't have to. 268 00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:31,040 Speaker 1: There's others as well. But at the end of the day, 269 00:12:31,160 --> 00:12:34,720 Speaker 1: both men are extremely up there in age because I 270 00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 1: don't want to be a senior shamer if you would, right, 271 00:12:38,320 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: because seniors are just as capable intellectually, many of them 272 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:44,600 Speaker 1: as those of us in our age bracket. At the 273 00:12:44,679 --> 00:12:47,320 Speaker 1: same time, there's still the two oldest men to ever 274 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:50,360 Speaker 1: run and rerun for president of the United States. But 275 00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: you know what, doesn't that also speak to the weaknesses 276 00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,200 Speaker 1: in both parties. If Joe Biden is the best the 277 00:12:55,240 --> 00:12:59,040 Speaker 1: Democratic National Committee has. If Donald Trump is the best 278 00:12:59,040 --> 00:13:01,800 Speaker 1: the Republican National Committee has. What is that saying about 279 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 1: the talent y'all incubating? 280 00:13:03,840 --> 00:13:06,600 Speaker 2: So what do you think about, you know, blacks loving 281 00:13:06,640 --> 00:13:09,560 Speaker 2: Donald Trump so much, shaking his hand, kissing his kissing 282 00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:11,480 Speaker 2: his hand, rubbing his bag, saying we support it. 283 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: What do you think about slave master syndrome, white Jesus syndrome? 284 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,319 Speaker 1: We don't care if the white Jesus wears red or blue. 285 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:19,600 Speaker 1: We don't care what side of the owl that they're on. 286 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: You know, Black America suffers from battered spouse syndrome envy. 287 00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,040 Speaker 1: And what batter spouse syndrome speaks to is the fact 288 00:13:27,040 --> 00:13:29,320 Speaker 1: that no matter how bad you beat me up, if 289 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,280 Speaker 1: I believe I need you in order to survive, I'm 290 00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 1: never going anywhere. And part of our problem, part of 291 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,760 Speaker 1: the equation to our problem as American Africans, while we 292 00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,240 Speaker 1: don't do anything on our own, is we are often 293 00:13:40,320 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: waiting for the great White Savior to come. This is 294 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,360 Speaker 1: a message that has been rehearsed for us in church. 295 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: We get it in the media, we get it in 296 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: the black community. So black people will never ever abandon 297 00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,200 Speaker 1: their hope of a white savior coming to save them. 298 00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:58,840 Speaker 1: Donald Trump has no record whatsoever of saving black folks. 299 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:00,880 Speaker 1: When people ask me who you going to vote for 300 00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,880 Speaker 1: at this point, neither one of them are going to 301 00:14:02,960 --> 00:14:05,439 Speaker 1: get my vote. I considered Courtnel West because I love 302 00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:09,480 Speaker 1: doctor West, intelligent, strong, good nature. But he's a bunny hopper, 303 00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,360 Speaker 1: so he can't get my vote. Now, when I come 304 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,520 Speaker 1: back to Donald Trump and Joe Biden, I look at 305 00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:17,040 Speaker 1: the fact that Donald Trump signed thirteen federal deaf executions 306 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:19,320 Speaker 1: while he was president. More than half of them was 307 00:14:19,400 --> 00:14:22,480 Speaker 1: signed after Joe Biden won the election. Think about that. Now, 308 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,240 Speaker 1: Biden gets elected in November, sworn in January. Between that time, 309 00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:29,800 Speaker 1: Donald Trump executes half of those thirteen people. Five of 310 00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: them were black men, and two of those black men 311 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,520 Speaker 1: were presumed innocent and their attorneys had introduced a stay 312 00:14:35,560 --> 00:14:38,200 Speaker 1: of execution to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court turned 313 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,880 Speaker 1: them down, and Donald Trump executed those brothers. So when 314 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,160 Speaker 1: I hear black men say I'm voting for Donald Trump 315 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,920 Speaker 1: because he's going to bring more money in economic vitality 316 00:14:45,960 --> 00:14:48,040 Speaker 1: into the black community, I say, what about the fact 317 00:14:48,040 --> 00:14:50,520 Speaker 1: that he's out here killing black folks? You understand without 318 00:14:50,560 --> 00:14:53,960 Speaker 1: no remorse at all, signing those type of federal death warrants. 319 00:14:54,040 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: Two brothers was murdered within twenty four hours of each other. 320 00:14:57,360 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: One of them was forty years old, and he was 321 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,560 Speaker 1: the first person to be murdered in seventy years for 322 00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 1: a crime he committed as a teenager. And in one 323 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,400 Speaker 1: of those cases, about six of the jurors said they 324 00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,960 Speaker 1: would have changed their decision on the death sentence had 325 00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,920 Speaker 1: they knew the information that the prosecution had withheld from them. 326 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,520 Speaker 1: That's why the attorney wanted to stay of execution to 327 00:15:18,560 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 1: give the defense time to reformulate an argument in Supreme 328 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:25,840 Speaker 1: Court Snow Bunny Clarence Thomas and that crew said no, 329 00:15:26,120 --> 00:15:28,240 Speaker 1: and Donald Trump signed his life away. So you got 330 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:29,560 Speaker 1: to look at that. You also got to look at 331 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,440 Speaker 1: the fact that Donald Trump wants to give police one 332 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,120 Speaker 1: hundred percent amenity. Wait a minute, look how they're killing 333 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 1: us now. So now you're telling me that anything the 334 00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: police do in their line of duty, they cannot be 335 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:43,840 Speaker 1: held accountable for making bad mistakes and bad decisions. And 336 00:15:43,880 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: you would have put that back in office. That's thirsty. 337 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,800 Speaker 1: Black men worry more about money than the lives of 338 00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:49,320 Speaker 1: their people. 339 00:15:50,240 --> 00:15:53,600 Speaker 3: The Supreme Court is corrupt, yes, legitimate, absolutely. How come 340 00:15:53,680 --> 00:15:55,000 Speaker 3: enough people not talking about that. 341 00:15:55,400 --> 00:15:58,120 Speaker 1: Because I don't think they understand the tripart take nature 342 00:15:58,160 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: of American so called democracy. The Supreme Court, the President 343 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:05,200 Speaker 1: in the Congress, they actually have equal weight. Right, well, 344 00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: they did. But now, what the Supreme Court just did 345 00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,479 Speaker 1: was they gave the president a few days ago absolute 346 00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:16,000 Speaker 1: immunity from criminal prosecution for decisions made in office and 347 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 1: carrying out his constitutionally protected duties. That's very dangerous because 348 00:16:20,560 --> 00:16:22,360 Speaker 1: what that says is the president can never go to 349 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: jail even if he commits genocide if it was done 350 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: in an act of office. So let's say, hypothetically, Donald Trump, 351 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: but Joe Biden sends the National Guard into New York 352 00:16:30,280 --> 00:16:33,480 Speaker 1: to quell a Black protests, and the National Guard, god forbid, 353 00:16:33,560 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: ends up executing a five thousand of our brothers and 354 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 1: sisters who were protesting peacefully, even though it was ordered 355 00:16:38,960 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: by the President of the United States. He cannot be 356 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:43,160 Speaker 1: held accountable for that. Why because he did it in 357 00:16:43,240 --> 00:16:46,200 Speaker 1: discharging his duties as commander in chief. So we don't 358 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 1: long longer have a president. We have an emperor, we 359 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:51,320 Speaker 1: have a czar, we have a King, because what the 360 00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 1: Supreme Court just did is said the president is beyond 361 00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:59,200 Speaker 1: reproach and the president is beyond the reach of the law. Dangerous. 362 00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,480 Speaker 3: I feel like enough people aren't having that conversation. They're 363 00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:04,879 Speaker 3: not having that conversation to me, like, I understand, you know, 364 00:17:04,960 --> 00:17:07,880 Speaker 3: talking about Biden and his bad debate performance. I get it. Yeah, 365 00:17:07,880 --> 00:17:10,119 Speaker 3: I even understand talking about Project two thousand twenty five, 366 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,760 Speaker 3: even though it's a hypothetical. But this is happening now, yes, 367 00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:13,720 Speaker 3: and nobody. 368 00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,000 Speaker 1: Has And for black folks, it don't matter if it's 369 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,960 Speaker 1: Trump or Biden. The bottom line is the president of 370 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: the United States, none of whom have ever been friends 371 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,879 Speaker 1: of the black community, will have the ability to do 372 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,040 Speaker 1: what they want as long as it takes place within 373 00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:28,919 Speaker 1: the execution of duty. They cannot be held criminally liable. 374 00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:31,920 Speaker 1: Now here's my thing. I wonder what are the repercussions 375 00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: of that on the World Court when you're dealing with 376 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:37,320 Speaker 1: genocide in the Geneva Convention. So are you saying that 377 00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:41,320 Speaker 1: the president of the United States cannot be held criminally 378 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:45,040 Speaker 1: responsible for crimes of genocide against humanity? That goes against 379 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:47,399 Speaker 1: the whole Geneva Convention. So I'm wondering what the UN 380 00:17:47,440 --> 00:17:49,359 Speaker 1: and what the World Court has to say about the 381 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,439 Speaker 1: Supreme Court's decision. 382 00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,959 Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on Donald Trump currently and in 383 00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:57,040 Speaker 3: particular the agenda that is Project twenty twenty five. 384 00:17:57,240 --> 00:18:00,280 Speaker 1: The Project twenty twenty five reminds me a lot remember 385 00:18:00,320 --> 00:18:03,440 Speaker 1: the New Gingrich Contract on America back at the turn 386 00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:05,160 Speaker 1: of the century. It kind of reminds me of that. 387 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:07,400 Speaker 1: It is very dangerous. But when I look at Project 388 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:10,280 Speaker 1: twenty twenty five, a lot of it is already being 389 00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:12,879 Speaker 1: carried out. You fault. So they want to eliminate the 390 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:16,000 Speaker 1: Department of Education. I think we talked about this probably 391 00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,320 Speaker 1: my first visit to the Breakfast Club, where I spoke 392 00:18:18,359 --> 00:18:21,400 Speaker 1: of how the US Constitution does not give your child 393 00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:23,879 Speaker 1: a right to an education. The word education is not 394 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,800 Speaker 1: in the constitution. But many people feel like educational taxes 395 00:18:27,880 --> 00:18:30,639 Speaker 1: or their taxes that go to education is to burden 396 00:18:30,720 --> 00:18:33,159 Speaker 1: some incumbersome and they're saying, why do I have to 397 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:37,520 Speaker 1: pay school tax when a constitution doesn't even give nobody 398 00:18:37,520 --> 00:18:39,440 Speaker 1: a right to get an education in the first place, 399 00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,239 Speaker 1: So why am I paying for this? So a lot 400 00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 1: of people want to phase that out. Remember when you 401 00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:46,680 Speaker 1: go to White America. Half of White America either don't 402 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,080 Speaker 1: have school aged children or don't send them a public 403 00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 1: school anyway. So when it completely blot out the school tax, 404 00:18:52,160 --> 00:18:54,880 Speaker 1: not only that, the money that still remains, they want 405 00:18:54,880 --> 00:18:58,120 Speaker 1: to redirect at the not charter schools, to private schools 406 00:18:58,119 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 1: and parochial schools, which to my understanding, is a violation 407 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: of the separation of church and state. How can you 408 00:19:04,400 --> 00:19:07,199 Speaker 1: get public money to the Catholic school? But that's what 409 00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:09,120 Speaker 1: they want to do. They also want to shut down 410 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:12,480 Speaker 1: Social Security. They also want to completely eliminate all diversity, 411 00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:15,400 Speaker 1: equity and inclusion laws and bills. But I gotta say 412 00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:19,960 Speaker 1: this though, because the Democrats are pretty hypocritical, because when 413 00:19:19,960 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 1: you look at what Governor Desantists is doing in Florida, 414 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:23,480 Speaker 1: and when you look at the fact that you got 415 00:19:23,480 --> 00:19:27,439 Speaker 1: eighteen states that have already passed laws to eliminate all diversity, 416 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: equity and inclusion program that's a third right, Why aren't 417 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:34,600 Speaker 1: the Democrats pushing back against it? A governor? Excuse me? 418 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:39,840 Speaker 1: President Biden was reportedly reportedly stated that he will not 419 00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,960 Speaker 1: push back against the Republican effort to eliminate all DEI programs. 420 00:19:45,160 --> 00:19:47,800 Speaker 1: So doesn't that make you complicit in the removal of 421 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:51,240 Speaker 1: the DEI. See what the Democrats do that black people 422 00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:53,640 Speaker 1: tend not to catch on is they'll let the Republicans 423 00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,120 Speaker 1: play the bad guy because they can't afford to lose 424 00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 1: the black vote. So although we don't support DEI ourselves, 425 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,080 Speaker 1: we're not gonna be the ones to front this. We're 426 00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,040 Speaker 1: gonna let the Santists and the other Mavericks go out 427 00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:07,240 Speaker 1: and do this. But guess what, We're not gonna push 428 00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:09,080 Speaker 1: back against us, So it looks like it wasn't us, 429 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:12,520 Speaker 1: it was you. Because silence in the face of injustice 430 00:20:12,760 --> 00:20:15,240 Speaker 1: is complicity. And that's why, as far as I'm concerned, 431 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,480 Speaker 1: the Democratic Party and the Republican Party are two wings 432 00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,679 Speaker 1: on the same bird. And the one question we never have, 433 00:20:22,200 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 1: when do we going to organize the black vote before 434 00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:26,960 Speaker 1: we vote? If you notice, everybody tells us to vote, 435 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:31,880 Speaker 1: the politicians, black businesses, the fraternities, the churches, vote vote vote, 436 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:35,920 Speaker 1: the Urban League, the NAACP Congressional Black Caucus, vote vote vote. 437 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 1: Why do you think nobody never says organized the black 438 00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:40,360 Speaker 1: vote before you vote? So we vote as a block, 439 00:20:40,400 --> 00:20:43,439 Speaker 1: so politicians know we're doing this as a people. You know, 440 00:20:43,480 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: why if we voted as a block, Envy, we could 441 00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:48,520 Speaker 1: hold people accountable. See if I vote as a block, 442 00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:51,320 Speaker 1: I can hold Eric Adams accountable, I can hold Brandon 443 00:20:51,359 --> 00:20:54,560 Speaker 1: Johnson accountable. I can hold Kamala Harris accountable because she 444 00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,320 Speaker 1: know we went to the post as a people united 445 00:20:57,400 --> 00:21:00,520 Speaker 1: and won this. But when you vote as individuals, get cyphrenic, 446 00:21:00,600 --> 00:21:03,199 Speaker 1: disorganized black votes. Who you're gonna hold accountable? Envy? The 447 00:21:03,280 --> 00:21:05,119 Speaker 1: man could do what he wants. You voted alone. You 448 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,879 Speaker 1: didn't link your vote with nobody. What can you do 449 00:21:06,960 --> 00:21:08,680 Speaker 1: to me? You said you go to the Joe biddie. 450 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,600 Speaker 1: What you're gonna do about police jennercide? What can you 451 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,119 Speaker 1: do to me? You voted by yourself. If you notice, 452 00:21:13,119 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 1: if your political power is all about mass organization, if 453 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:18,680 Speaker 1: you're not organized, your vote only matters to the person 454 00:21:18,720 --> 00:21:20,679 Speaker 1: you're electing. It'll never matter to us. 455 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 2: Why don't you think we have an organization? I was 456 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 2: watching it. I can't remember, but I think maybe Godfree 457 00:21:25,280 --> 00:21:28,800 Speaker 2: Godfrey was talking about we just can't organize, even as 458 00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:31,879 Speaker 2: organized crime. Like there's the Russian mafia, and there's the 459 00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:36,880 Speaker 2: Chinese mafia, there's the Irish mafia, there's the Italy, the 460 00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:40,800 Speaker 2: Italian mob. But then we can't organize together. Why do 461 00:21:40,840 --> 00:21:42,679 Speaker 2: you think that is legally? 462 00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,400 Speaker 1: Yes, you're absolutely right to your issue with crime. Take 463 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:50,640 Speaker 1: the Italian mafia back in their heyday. No women, no children, 464 00:21:50,680 --> 00:21:55,040 Speaker 1: no elders. If you kill one, even by accident, we 465 00:21:55,080 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: take your life. That was the rule. But in the 466 00:21:57,720 --> 00:21:59,840 Speaker 1: black community, you can hit the eldest, hit the kids, 467 00:22:00,359 --> 00:22:06,639 Speaker 1: the pregnant women, no rules, no consequences, self hatred, petty differences, 468 00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:12,160 Speaker 1: and the indoctrination of white supremacy, meaning most black people 469 00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,000 Speaker 1: feel the only people they need to be accountable to 470 00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:16,720 Speaker 1: are whites. They can never answer to a black person. 471 00:22:16,880 --> 00:22:18,959 Speaker 1: This is why if you talk to any black supervisor 472 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,520 Speaker 1: or black manager, they'll tell you they get more hell 473 00:22:21,560 --> 00:22:24,600 Speaker 1: from their black employees than their white ones. Because whenever 474 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: we see black authority, we rebel against it because we've 475 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 1: been trained to believe that black people are worthless. And 476 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,120 Speaker 1: if you yourself is worthless, how much more worthless will 477 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:35,960 Speaker 1: be your authority over me. Until we do something about 478 00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,760 Speaker 1: the collective self hate of African people, we will never 479 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:42,720 Speaker 1: change anything else. It is the psychological crutch of self 480 00:22:42,760 --> 00:22:44,719 Speaker 1: hate that keeps us where we are. We are two 481 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 1: trillion dollar people. Why be waiting for reparations. Don't get 482 00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:49,919 Speaker 1: me wrong, We're entitled to reparations, But why are we 483 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,280 Speaker 1: waiting on them with that type of money. It makes 484 00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 1: no sense. It's because we do not believe in work 485 00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:56,840 Speaker 1: it together. We would rather wait on white supremacy to 486 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: change itself before we change ourselves. 487 00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,520 Speaker 3: I don't know. So if we can ever reverse the 488 00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:03,480 Speaker 3: self hate that we have. 489 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:05,240 Speaker 1: We can, But you got to start with the children. 490 00:23:05,280 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 1: Here's the problem. We're raising the children the same way 491 00:23:08,280 --> 00:23:10,480 Speaker 1: we were raised. You see that. I look at the 492 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,159 Speaker 1: way the Somebody just sent me the video the other 493 00:23:12,240 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: day of three girls stomping out this crossing guard, I 494 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,000 Speaker 1: mean stomping her out, tried to kill her. I don't 495 00:23:17,040 --> 00:23:19,639 Speaker 1: know what happened, tried to kill her. Right Where do 496 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:21,840 Speaker 1: children get that? Where do they get this thing to 497 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:25,240 Speaker 1: self destruct, crash out on each other. They're taught it 498 00:23:25,359 --> 00:23:27,280 Speaker 1: in their homes. And this is why when I first 499 00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:30,639 Speaker 1: conceptualized the FDMG academy, I said, I want a residential school. 500 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:32,000 Speaker 1: I don't want them to come home. You know why, 501 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,280 Speaker 1: because I know the sickness is in the home. This 502 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:37,760 Speaker 1: is not in your DNA. It's passed down into generationally, 503 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,520 Speaker 1: from grandparent to parent, from parent to child. So if 504 00:23:40,520 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: we want a new mindset, if we want a new consciousness, 505 00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: if we want a new program or platform, you have 506 00:23:46,200 --> 00:23:49,399 Speaker 1: to train the children. There's an African proverb that says, 507 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: whenever a new black baby is born, that's a message 508 00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: from God that he hasn't given up on African people yet. 509 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,880 Speaker 1: But until we start doing something with the children differently 510 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: than what was done with us, nothing will ever change. 511 00:24:01,640 --> 00:24:03,280 Speaker 1: It starts with the next generation. 512 00:24:03,560 --> 00:24:07,120 Speaker 3: I see you, you know the Frederick Douglas Marcus Garvey Academy. Yes, sir, 513 00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 3: I see you in the building all the time. 514 00:24:09,240 --> 00:24:10,880 Speaker 1: Yes, sir. They still saying we're the school. 515 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:15,560 Speaker 3: Yeah, they're still say everybody knows where you can't miss it. 516 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:17,119 Speaker 3: And you just was asking for something. What was you 517 00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 3: just asking for? Uh? 518 00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,040 Speaker 1: Somebody to help us with the floors, with the floor 519 00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:23,239 Speaker 1: we got we got so last time I was here, 520 00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,159 Speaker 1: remember I was still struggling with the age vac. Remember that. 521 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:27,239 Speaker 1: So the age vac is done, plumbing is done, all 522 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:30,080 Speaker 1: the systems repaired. That was superficials. We gotta get the 523 00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:33,400 Speaker 1: doors done. We got some doors that gotta be replaced. 524 00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,000 Speaker 1: We got another layer of paints, so we're gonna do 525 00:24:35,040 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: one more paint day. And then we got eleven floors. 526 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,639 Speaker 1: When we took the old rugs out, we got to 527 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:41,439 Speaker 1: cover them up right. So in fact, coming here one 528 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 1: of the good sisters, who sister Jennifer out of Trenton, 529 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,280 Speaker 1: shout out to her and her husband. Uh. She has 530 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,040 Speaker 1: an uncle who does floor so I'm gonna meet with 531 00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:50,280 Speaker 1: him this weekend and see what type of price he 532 00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,479 Speaker 1: can give. Also some other brothers who do floors, and 533 00:24:52,480 --> 00:24:54,280 Speaker 1: the prices wasn't too bad, you know what I mean. 534 00:24:54,359 --> 00:24:56,040 Speaker 1: So once we do that last layer of coat and 535 00:24:56,040 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: do them floors, were applying for the certificate of occupancy. 536 00:24:58,600 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 3: You think that's gonna be hard to get. 537 00:25:02,560 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 1: It could be because in talking with some of the 538 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:07,400 Speaker 1: businesses in the neighborhood, they're telling me that they've had 539 00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: to wait months before the city came out to do 540 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,359 Speaker 1: their inspection. This is what they're saying. I don't know 541 00:25:12,359 --> 00:25:14,399 Speaker 1: if it's true. They say, doc, you might got to 542 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,439 Speaker 1: wait a minute, and because you are who you are, 543 00:25:16,440 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 1: they might try to nitpick you too. So I'm just gonna, 544 00:25:18,840 --> 00:25:20,640 Speaker 1: you know, hope for the best. You know what I mean, 545 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 1: but cautiously understand that because they never thought we would finish, 546 00:25:24,800 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 1: this could be a little bit of a push. I 547 00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:28,040 Speaker 1: just hope it don't get to the point where I 548 00:25:28,040 --> 00:25:29,880 Speaker 1: got to have a protest, you follow me. I hope 549 00:25:29,880 --> 00:25:31,240 Speaker 1: it don't get to the point where we got to 550 00:25:31,280 --> 00:25:34,520 Speaker 1: drag the city into court for discrimination against us because 551 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,720 Speaker 1: they never thought we would finish. And we're done, you 552 00:25:36,760 --> 00:25:38,120 Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And I got to thank y'all 553 00:25:38,160 --> 00:25:39,560 Speaker 1: for that because y'all help me get the word out, 554 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,639 Speaker 1: you know what I mean. So we there and so 555 00:25:42,840 --> 00:25:45,639 Speaker 1: guy Willing, I believe if they don't take forever to 556 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:48,560 Speaker 1: inspect the building, hoping we get these floors done quickly, 557 00:25:49,080 --> 00:25:50,760 Speaker 1: we should be able to have our inspection before the 558 00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:51,399 Speaker 1: end of the summer. 559 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 3: Are you concerned that some of these negroes, because that's 560 00:25:54,480 --> 00:25:57,200 Speaker 3: that's been the only thing they can come at you with, Doctor, 561 00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,000 Speaker 3: I don't got the school. Now that the school is, 562 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 3: the school is almost done, do you think that some 563 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:04,359 Speaker 3: of these negroes are going to be protesting the most. 564 00:26:04,760 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 1: Yes, because they're not gonna stop now that I'm open. 565 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: They got to move the goalposts right sure, Now, it's 566 00:26:09,640 --> 00:26:12,680 Speaker 1: how many kids? What is he teaching how many? They're 567 00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:16,880 Speaker 1: never going to stop because the motivation is slandered. See, 568 00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,040 Speaker 1: in the beginning, I thought the motivation was truth. I 569 00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:21,840 Speaker 1: thought people who questioned me sincerely just wanted to know, 570 00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,560 Speaker 1: are you scamming us? And then when I started breaking 571 00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,399 Speaker 1: everything down and showing them how I'm not scamming them, 572 00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:29,000 Speaker 1: and we ain't even spent no money because we ain't 573 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:31,680 Speaker 1: found no contractors, then I realized this ain't about the truth. 574 00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:34,359 Speaker 1: This is about slander. Y'all just want to be entertained 575 00:26:34,720 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: at my expense. And so people say, well, why haven't 576 00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:41,560 Speaker 1: you been more transparent? I've been too transparent every time 577 00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:42,960 Speaker 1: I come up and I think where we at, what 578 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:44,639 Speaker 1: problems we got? You know what I mean? How much 579 00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,280 Speaker 1: more money we need? This is what we're going through. 580 00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,240 Speaker 1: In fact, I think I've been too transparent. When we 581 00:26:48,280 --> 00:26:50,199 Speaker 1: open up the next school, I'm not going to be 582 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:53,080 Speaker 1: that transparent. Y'all see it when it opens, no matter 583 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:55,000 Speaker 1: how long it takes. But I felt the need to 584 00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:58,840 Speaker 1: be transparent because I didn't want to lose my loyal supporters. 585 00:26:58,920 --> 00:27:03,000 Speaker 1: Because remember, most of FDMG donors, they are repeat donors. 586 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:06,160 Speaker 1: Very few people have only donated one time. These people 587 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,280 Speaker 1: who are questioning me, they've never donated at all, ain't 588 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 1: got children going to the school, don't live nowhere there 589 00:27:12,320 --> 00:27:14,840 Speaker 1: will make ting delaware, you understand me. So they're just 590 00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,680 Speaker 1: doing this for kicks and giggles. The you two being 591 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:21,720 Speaker 1: struggle streamers, they will slander my project. These you two 592 00:27:21,760 --> 00:27:25,680 Speaker 1: being struggle streamers, that's what they are YouTube, being struggle streamers. 593 00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:28,320 Speaker 1: They will slander my project that get an extra one 594 00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 1: hundred views. Literally, you go to they pay. You did 595 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,359 Speaker 1: all that for one hundred views, You thirsty struggle streamer. 596 00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:36,520 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. So my thing is, don't 597 00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,320 Speaker 1: even feed them, stay focused on the work. 598 00:27:38,359 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 2: I was gonna ask you, what were your thoughts on 599 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:42,240 Speaker 2: on Diddy and everything that's going on with Diddy? We 600 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:43,680 Speaker 2: know what he did was horrific? 601 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: Yes, or what are your. 602 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:46,280 Speaker 2: Thoughts on everything that's happening with Diddy? 603 00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:49,439 Speaker 3: Yes, that's all you said. If Kathy was darkskin, itn't even. 604 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:54,840 Speaker 1: Be I believe that absolutely horrific, indefensible. But the response 605 00:27:54,880 --> 00:27:58,960 Speaker 1: from the black community envying Charlottemagne, I believe it's somewhat hypocritical, 606 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:04,320 Speaker 1: and and I say that is forty percent of domestic 607 00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:08,160 Speaker 1: abuse victims are Black women. Black women are being beat 608 00:28:08,240 --> 00:28:12,600 Speaker 1: on on a regular basis. The femicide rate for black 609 00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,000 Speaker 1: women is going through the roof. A Black woman is 610 00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,040 Speaker 1: three times as likely as any other woman to be 611 00:28:17,200 --> 00:28:20,720 Speaker 1: murdered by her lover, black or white. Y'all saw what 612 00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:25,320 Speaker 1: happened with the sister in Milwaukee. Nineteen year old black sister, 613 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: what about a month or two ago, went on a 614 00:28:27,040 --> 00:28:29,520 Speaker 1: date with a thirty three year old Caucasian man. He 615 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:33,000 Speaker 1: killed her, dismembered her, spread her body all over the city. 616 00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:35,520 Speaker 1: This is recent. And then you had a little seventeen 617 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: year old sister down in Kate Carral, Florida. She walking 618 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,160 Speaker 1: back from the movies with her two friends, and a 619 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,720 Speaker 1: white boy just pull over, gets out the car and 620 00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,600 Speaker 1: murders in broad daylight. And I ain't got to show 621 00:28:45,640 --> 00:28:48,200 Speaker 1: you all the murders of black men what we're doing 622 00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:50,080 Speaker 1: to our own women. I just saw one the other 623 00:28:50,160 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: day with a brother killed, as children killed, the woman 624 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,720 Speaker 1: killed himself. Those are not typically Black crimes. We don't 625 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: normally do that kind of stuff. We don't crash out 626 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: like that, But we are now because the spirit foundation 627 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,320 Speaker 1: of African people, and the emotional wellness of African people 628 00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,040 Speaker 1: is beginning to erode because we have bought into the 629 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:12,960 Speaker 1: ideology of material consumption that American capitalism has pushed on us. 630 00:29:13,040 --> 00:29:16,520 Speaker 1: And we believe being happy and being whole and being 631 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:21,800 Speaker 1: psychologically healthy means owning and earning. So we equate health 632 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:25,560 Speaker 1: psychological health, which how much do I make and how 633 00:29:25,640 --> 00:29:28,480 Speaker 1: much do I earn? And how much do I own? 634 00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,160 Speaker 1: And that is not the foundation upon which African spirituality rests. 635 00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,760 Speaker 1: We are a people where relationships are the most important 636 00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 1: thing to African people. Relationships, not what you earn, what 637 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,760 Speaker 1: you drive, and what you wear. But we bought into 638 00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:45,280 Speaker 1: that and as a result of that, we are suffering 639 00:29:45,320 --> 00:29:49,200 Speaker 1: from a spiritual famine. We are a spiritually infamished people 640 00:29:49,400 --> 00:29:51,840 Speaker 1: and we're not recognizing it. And this is why rich 641 00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: blacks as well as poor blacks are equally likely to 642 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:58,000 Speaker 1: commit suicide or crash out on somebody else and take 643 00:29:58,040 --> 00:30:00,200 Speaker 1: their life. So my thing is, when are we going 644 00:30:00,280 --> 00:30:05,080 Speaker 1: to get back to valuing relationships and people more than 645 00:30:05,160 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: the things that we own. That is a very big 646 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:08,320 Speaker 1: problem with us. 647 00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:11,280 Speaker 2: Back to to dittyst. 648 00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 1: Back to ditty, It's hypocritical envy, because when I look 649 00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:18,440 Speaker 1: at the amount of Black women who are abused in 650 00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,040 Speaker 1: the community, and I look at the amount of Black 651 00:30:21,040 --> 00:30:24,320 Speaker 1: people who turn the other cheek to this. Being a therapist, 652 00:30:24,360 --> 00:30:27,280 Speaker 1: I see these things. Black women being abused in the church. 653 00:30:27,480 --> 00:30:29,680 Speaker 1: They're being abused in the temple, They're being abused in 654 00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,560 Speaker 1: the mass JD. They're being abused in the college. Teenage 655 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:35,160 Speaker 1: girls are being abused in their homes by their boyfriends. 656 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:37,880 Speaker 1: So I see all these black people snapping out on Ditty, 657 00:30:38,160 --> 00:30:40,480 Speaker 1: as they should. He was wrong. But you didn't snap 658 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,440 Speaker 1: out on your son when he smacked his girlfriend up 659 00:30:42,520 --> 00:30:44,440 Speaker 1: in front of your face. You didn't snap out on 660 00:30:44,480 --> 00:30:47,240 Speaker 1: your brother when he's choked out his fiance. You didn't 661 00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:51,240 Speaker 1: even You didn't snap out on your husband when he 662 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:54,920 Speaker 1: snapped out on you. So Diddy can be exposed and 663 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:59,040 Speaker 1: humiliated and shamed and embarrassed, but not the men in 664 00:30:59,080 --> 00:31:01,560 Speaker 1: your life. When your son beasts on his wife, when 665 00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,720 Speaker 1: your uncle, when your cousin, when your frat brother, when 666 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,760 Speaker 1: your pastor is guilty of doing the same thing Diddy did, 667 00:31:08,120 --> 00:31:10,520 Speaker 1: it gets a pass. But when Diddy does it, he 668 00:31:10,600 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: has to be exposed. I don't like the double standard 669 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:17,560 Speaker 1: that we have I don't like this hypocritical outrage at Diddy, 670 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:19,880 Speaker 1: but we don't see the same thing in the black community. 671 00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: For example, how many domestic abuse shelters have we opened 672 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:26,440 Speaker 1: since the Cassie Diddy film came out? If with that outrage, 673 00:31:26,520 --> 00:31:29,600 Speaker 1: all these single black women being abused with children, right, 674 00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:34,120 Speaker 1: how many celebrities or regular Black people have opened up 675 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,400 Speaker 1: domestic abuse shelters? How much money have has Black America 676 00:31:37,520 --> 00:31:41,040 Speaker 1: donated to the fight against domestic abuse in our community? 677 00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:43,800 Speaker 1: Go to the Roman Catholic Church. The Roman Catholic Church 678 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:49,200 Speaker 1: admits to they admit to at least ten thousand incidents 679 00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: of sex abuse against children involving over forty three hundred 680 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:57,640 Speaker 1: pastors or priests since nineteen fifty. From nineteen fifty to 681 00:31:57,680 --> 00:32:01,920 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two, between ten and eleventh incidents of child sex 682 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,880 Speaker 1: abuse forty three hundred priests. Can I ask you a question, 683 00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:07,640 Speaker 1: if what did he did is so bad, why do 684 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:10,840 Speaker 1: we still have three million African American Roman Catholics? If 685 00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: we are against abuse, Help me understand how this is 686 00:32:14,400 --> 00:32:16,600 Speaker 1: wrong but molest than our kids are not. 687 00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,800 Speaker 3: I tend to see people care more about issues when 688 00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:23,520 Speaker 3: celebrities are attached and it makes me feel like they 689 00:32:23,520 --> 00:32:25,200 Speaker 3: don't even care about the issue, they just care about it. 690 00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,840 Speaker 1: Yes, the celebrities, I absolutely agree. I absolutely agree. And 691 00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:31,440 Speaker 1: to your point that you raised earlier, if that was 692 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,880 Speaker 1: Lizzo and not Cassie, are we having this conversation if 693 00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: that was Lizzo, if that was a full figured chocolate 694 00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,480 Speaker 1: African queen, doesn't even make the media. And then the 695 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:44,200 Speaker 1: other thing fellas. 696 00:32:43,240 --> 00:32:45,640 Speaker 3: Big Lizzo, Yes, because she's a celebrity. 697 00:32:45,280 --> 00:32:46,920 Speaker 1: Got you. But if it's just a regular four figure 698 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:51,240 Speaker 1: chocolate right, And I do believe Cassie's complexion plays a 699 00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:52,920 Speaker 1: role in this because we do have a light skin 700 00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:55,680 Speaker 1: supremacy issue in the black community. We also got dark 701 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:58,360 Speaker 1: supremacy issues as well. But if she's not a mixed race, 702 00:32:58,440 --> 00:33:01,200 Speaker 1: light skinned sister and not a celebrity, this ain't this 703 00:33:01,240 --> 00:33:04,040 Speaker 1: ain't no issue. This ain't no issue, you know because 704 00:33:04,080 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 1: even in religion, I've seen pastors and emams condone violence 705 00:33:07,200 --> 00:33:09,400 Speaker 1: against women. You know what I mean? You know? So 706 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,400 Speaker 1: I think the Black community got to stop being hypocritical. 707 00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:15,800 Speaker 1: If we're really against domestic violence, let's do something against it. 708 00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,640 Speaker 1: Because I raally hear celebrities, I raally hear civil rights leaders. 709 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,760 Speaker 1: I really hear business leaders talk up and out against 710 00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,640 Speaker 1: the domestic abuse of black women. And when black women 711 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,680 Speaker 1: get domestically abused, it's twice as bad, you know why, 712 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,240 Speaker 1: because one that being psychologically harmed, right, and then number two, 713 00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:34,840 Speaker 1: they can't go to the police because they're gonna be 714 00:33:34,880 --> 00:33:36,960 Speaker 1: treated like an animal. This is what y'all people do. 715 00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,200 Speaker 1: They can't go to the domestic abuse shelters because white 716 00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,120 Speaker 1: people gonna look at them like they less than trash. 717 00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 1: So the black woman suffers in silence. And on top 718 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:47,080 Speaker 1: of that, what in most states, domestic abuse is a felony. 719 00:33:47,840 --> 00:33:50,080 Speaker 1: I can't afford to send my children's father to jail. 720 00:33:50,080 --> 00:33:52,200 Speaker 1: And then when they say, why daddy ain't here because 721 00:33:52,240 --> 00:33:54,920 Speaker 1: I told, because I turned them in. So it's very 722 00:33:54,960 --> 00:33:57,840 Speaker 1: complicated when you're dealing with black women and domestic abuse. 723 00:33:57,880 --> 00:33:59,640 Speaker 1: And then add to that envy and Charlotte Mane in 724 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:02,280 Speaker 1: fact that most black women don't have a strong social network, 725 00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:05,800 Speaker 1: They don't have sisters that they can rely on because 726 00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:09,480 Speaker 1: those sisters are so insecure about their relationship with their 727 00:34:09,560 --> 00:34:11,759 Speaker 1: man that you can't come take the spare room in 728 00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:13,799 Speaker 1: my house, You can't come take the basement, you can't 729 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: come take the Airbnb because my husband might start developing 730 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: eyes for you. So you got to stay in that 731 00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,479 Speaker 1: house and keep getting your head beating by that man. 732 00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,360 Speaker 1: Even though I'm claiming to be a born again Christian, 733 00:34:23,400 --> 00:34:25,240 Speaker 1: even though I'm claiming to be the most devout Muslim 734 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:26,920 Speaker 1: of all time, even though I'm claiming to be the 735 00:34:26,920 --> 00:34:29,760 Speaker 1: top Hebrew in my community. I'm gonna let your husband 736 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,000 Speaker 1: keep banging your head in because I'm not gonna risk 737 00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 1: my husband sniffing for your cookies. 738 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:38,080 Speaker 3: Damn, what are your thoughts? I got so much stuff 739 00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,680 Speaker 3: on to ask you. What do your thoughts in the WNBA, 740 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,160 Speaker 3: in particular the Kaitlyn Clark angel reaches battle. 741 00:34:42,880 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: For Here's the thing my thoughts on Kaitlyn Clark and injuries. 742 00:34:45,920 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: First of all, must respect the Caitlin Clark because to 743 00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,080 Speaker 1: her credit, I don't feel she came into the WNBA 744 00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: acting like she was the savior. I did not get 745 00:34:57,080 --> 00:34:59,640 Speaker 1: that from her. I mean I got from the white 746 00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: powersh structure, the snow bunny mafia of the WNBA that 747 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,960 Speaker 1: they tried to make her the face of the league 748 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,799 Speaker 1: before she proved herself, and in doing that, they're overlooking 749 00:35:09,920 --> 00:35:13,680 Speaker 1: black female athletes who are much better than Caitlyn Clark. 750 00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:14,640 Speaker 3: I mean, you got. 751 00:35:14,520 --> 00:35:17,360 Speaker 1: Ajian Wilson for the Los Angeles Aces. This is the 752 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,600 Speaker 1: first woman in WNBA history to score thirty five points, 753 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:24,560 Speaker 1: grab ten rebounds, and get five steals. So baby, you 754 00:35:24,600 --> 00:35:26,360 Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. So my thing is, how do 755 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:29,759 Speaker 1: you jump to Caitland Clark and overlook Ajia Wilson, a 756 00:35:29,800 --> 00:35:33,840 Speaker 1: two time WNBA MVP. The Aces? They just won the 757 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,799 Speaker 1: last two championships. They sell out almost every other game, 758 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,440 Speaker 1: but the entire media's attention is on Kitlan. 759 00:35:39,200 --> 00:35:41,000 Speaker 3: Clark, Prodigia, Don Staley. 760 00:35:40,840 --> 00:35:43,480 Speaker 1: Prodigia at North Phillies down Stealey absolutely twenty second in 761 00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:45,840 Speaker 1: dominant right. So when I look at even when we 762 00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:49,040 Speaker 1: go back to the Lady Game Cocks, they won the championship, 763 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:52,399 Speaker 1: and all the attention with the Kitlyn Clark they had 764 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:55,760 Speaker 1: a near perfect season, only lost three games in three years. 765 00:35:56,000 --> 00:36:00,520 Speaker 1: Caitland Clark gets all the attention since win absolutely and 766 00:36:00,560 --> 00:36:02,879 Speaker 1: they was undefeated last year. Since when have you seen 767 00:36:02,880 --> 00:36:05,359 Speaker 1: the losing team get more attention in the winning team? 768 00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:08,360 Speaker 1: And then Gail King oprah sidekick. She gets on the 769 00:36:08,400 --> 00:36:11,080 Speaker 1: interview with Don Staley and says, what were you thinking, 770 00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,960 Speaker 1: because we were all rooting for Kitland Clark and Iowa. 771 00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:16,840 Speaker 1: Iowa got what less than two percent Black students who 772 00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:19,560 Speaker 1: was voting for Iowa, who was rooting for Caitlyn Clark. 773 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,759 Speaker 1: We wasn't wishing her no harm, but we was rooting 774 00:36:21,800 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 1: for Don Stelley and then Lady Gagcox. The reason I 775 00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,319 Speaker 1: started watching NCAA basketball again because I had a long hiatus, 776 00:36:28,480 --> 00:36:30,959 Speaker 1: is because of Dawn Staley and then Lady Game Cox, 777 00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:33,520 Speaker 1: not because of Kitlyn Clark and not because of nobody else. 778 00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:36,120 Speaker 1: So I felt like Dawn Staley and the Lady Game 779 00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: Cox were shamed, were shamed because they didn't abow down 780 00:36:40,520 --> 00:36:42,480 Speaker 1: to Caitland Clark and give her the white privilege. The 781 00:36:42,600 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: year before when they beat the Lady Game Cox en 782 00:36:46,160 --> 00:36:49,799 Speaker 1: route to losing two angel rees and lsu anybody who 783 00:36:49,800 --> 00:36:51,319 Speaker 1: saw the game, so the referees gave it to him. 784 00:36:51,320 --> 00:36:53,800 Speaker 1: They ripped them off. But of course Don Stelly couldn't 785 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:55,439 Speaker 1: say that right because they she'd be accused of playing 786 00:36:55,440 --> 00:36:57,040 Speaker 1: a race card. But if you saw the game, they 787 00:36:57,120 --> 00:36:59,360 Speaker 1: got cheated. So they did everything they could to make 788 00:36:59,440 --> 00:37:02,040 Speaker 1: Caitlyn Clark the great White Savior. She's not there yet 789 00:37:02,040 --> 00:37:03,759 Speaker 1: I think she's gonna be a great player, right, I 790 00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:05,880 Speaker 1: think she's gonna have a tremendous legacy. But she's not 791 00:37:05,880 --> 00:37:08,000 Speaker 1: a top ten player in the league. Now you take 792 00:37:08,120 --> 00:37:10,840 Speaker 1: to look at Angeries. She's the first player in WNBA 793 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:14,640 Speaker 1: history to get thirteen straight double doubles, not rookie period. 794 00:37:14,960 --> 00:37:16,440 Speaker 1: You see what I'm saying. So it's going to be 795 00:37:16,480 --> 00:37:17,840 Speaker 1: interesting when it comes down to the Rookie of the 796 00:37:17,920 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 1: Year because you know they want to give it to 797 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:21,879 Speaker 1: Kitlyn that's that snowbunny privilege. But look at what Anger 798 00:37:21,960 --> 00:37:24,200 Speaker 1: Reese is doing. I could probably settle for a cold 799 00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:27,640 Speaker 1: rookie like they did with a Jason Kidd in Grant Hill. 800 00:37:27,840 --> 00:37:30,080 Speaker 1: I can settle for a cold rookie, but you're not 801 00:37:30,080 --> 00:37:32,080 Speaker 1: gonna give it to Caitlin Clark and try to ex 802 00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:33,799 Speaker 1: out Anger Reese. And I hate the fact that they 803 00:37:33,800 --> 00:37:35,719 Speaker 1: tried to make Anger Reice the bad guy. And I 804 00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:37,719 Speaker 1: hate the fact that so many of our brothers in 805 00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:42,040 Speaker 1: the sports world kind of parodied the narrative of the 806 00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:45,960 Speaker 1: WNBA and charge the black women of the WNBA with 807 00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:48,960 Speaker 1: being jealous of Caitlin Clark. Y'all jealous of all these 808 00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,960 Speaker 1: attentions and then you had other brothers who say, well, 809 00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:53,960 Speaker 1: she's the reason, y'all got flights. Now she's the reason this. 810 00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:57,000 Speaker 1: How is she the reason when Asia Wilson was doing 811 00:37:57,000 --> 00:37:59,160 Speaker 1: what she was doing before she got there, and there's 812 00:37:59,200 --> 00:38:01,200 Speaker 1: other women who was doing what she was doing before 813 00:38:01,239 --> 00:38:05,040 Speaker 1: she got there. Nobody's jealous of Caitlyn Clark. They're angry 814 00:38:05,080 --> 00:38:08,759 Speaker 1: at the racism and the double standard that they are witnessing. 815 00:38:08,840 --> 00:38:12,600 Speaker 1: You can't expect black women of the WNBA, with all 816 00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:15,600 Speaker 1: the hell that they catch, to sit there and watch 817 00:38:15,640 --> 00:38:18,480 Speaker 1: someone who is not as good as they are be 818 00:38:18,640 --> 00:38:21,160 Speaker 1: elevated to a level that they were never put at. 819 00:38:21,200 --> 00:38:24,280 Speaker 1: It's not fair. It's not jealousy. It's an anger because 820 00:38:24,320 --> 00:38:29,239 Speaker 1: even at this level of society and professionalism and athletics, 821 00:38:29,400 --> 00:38:32,080 Speaker 1: I still have to play second fiddle to the white girl, 822 00:38:32,280 --> 00:38:33,640 Speaker 1: even when she's not good enough. 823 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,680 Speaker 3: I haven't seen you hand out lashes. In a minute, 824 00:38:36,320 --> 00:38:37,839 Speaker 3: I'm gonna have to start giving them out, though. 825 00:38:37,880 --> 00:38:39,319 Speaker 2: What's your thoughts on Steven A. 826 00:38:39,360 --> 00:38:42,839 Speaker 1: Smith some I was talking to somebody the other day. 827 00:38:43,560 --> 00:38:45,919 Speaker 1: I didn't see what did Stephen They say about OJ? 828 00:38:46,160 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 1: Something about O. J. Simpson. 829 00:38:47,560 --> 00:38:48,200 Speaker 2: He was upset. 830 00:38:48,239 --> 00:38:53,440 Speaker 3: I believe that him Okay had him in the in 831 00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:55,839 Speaker 3: memori im package. Yeah. 832 00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:59,640 Speaker 1: My view on my brother stephen A. Smith, I vacillate 833 00:39:00,160 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 1: because one minute he'll say something that I say, good, 834 00:39:03,680 --> 00:39:06,760 Speaker 1: like when they gave Steve Nash the Brooklyn Nets coaching 835 00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:09,680 Speaker 1: job and he said, no black man gets that job 836 00:39:09,680 --> 00:39:11,960 Speaker 1: with no experience, and you're gonna coach k D. Kyrie 837 00:39:12,040 --> 00:39:14,839 Speaker 1: and James Harden. No black man gets that good job, 838 00:39:14,920 --> 00:39:16,960 Speaker 1: stephen A. And then he'll go right back and do 839 00:39:17,040 --> 00:39:19,920 Speaker 1: something cooonish like this. If B. E. T. Wants to 840 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:24,320 Speaker 1: honor OJ, let them ironor OJ. White people honor white 841 00:39:24,320 --> 00:39:27,480 Speaker 1: people who are guilty of things right, And let us 842 00:39:27,560 --> 00:39:31,840 Speaker 1: be clear. Did not OJ get acquitted. He was found innocent, 843 00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:36,279 Speaker 1: So stephen A. If OJ Simpson was found innocent for 844 00:39:36,400 --> 00:39:38,840 Speaker 1: the murder of Anna the Cole Smith, I believe the 845 00:39:38,920 --> 00:39:39,960 Speaker 1: name was what was the name. 846 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,800 Speaker 2: Mur nic Nicole Brown? 847 00:39:43,200 --> 00:39:45,680 Speaker 1: Right, forgive me forgetting the name wrong. But if he 848 00:39:45,800 --> 00:39:48,719 Speaker 1: was found innocent in a court of law, how can 849 00:39:48,760 --> 00:39:52,359 Speaker 1: you come back, stephen A. Smith thirty forty years later 850 00:39:52,760 --> 00:39:55,080 Speaker 1: and say B. E. T was wrong for honoring the 851 00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:58,160 Speaker 1: man when he was found innocent in court. So you're 852 00:39:58,200 --> 00:40:01,840 Speaker 1: parroting a white supremacist narrative. I need stephen A to 853 00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:04,640 Speaker 1: pick aside and stay on it because he floats back 854 00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:07,320 Speaker 1: and forth. Now, to his credit, at least he does float. 855 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:09,600 Speaker 1: Some of them don't even float. They go hard on 856 00:40:09,640 --> 00:40:12,000 Speaker 1: a white supremacit narrative and stay there, Steve and they 857 00:40:12,040 --> 00:40:13,640 Speaker 1: go back and forth. I need him to pick a 858 00:40:13,680 --> 00:40:15,920 Speaker 1: side because every time I'm proud of him, like stephen 859 00:40:15,960 --> 00:40:17,919 Speaker 1: A did a good job that they breaking this down 860 00:40:17,920 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 1: from a racial standpoint, to go right back to Coonan. 861 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:21,960 Speaker 1: So I just need him to pick a side and 862 00:40:22,000 --> 00:40:23,800 Speaker 1: stay on it because I don't know where he stands. 863 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,200 Speaker 3: God bless it dead. But some people would say, well, now, 864 00:40:26,239 --> 00:40:28,560 Speaker 3: doctor wom A, you defending a bunny hopper and OJ. 865 00:40:30,360 --> 00:40:34,520 Speaker 1: Great question. I'm not defending the bunny hopping aspect of OJ. 866 00:40:35,320 --> 00:40:38,600 Speaker 1: I'm defending the fact that OJ Simpson is a black man. 867 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:41,239 Speaker 1: And when I'm dealing with issues of black men or 868 00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:43,680 Speaker 1: black people, what they do to one of us, they 869 00:40:43,760 --> 00:40:45,839 Speaker 1: can do to any of us. And that's why when 870 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:49,600 Speaker 1: I look at Jonathan Major's situation, if you would he 871 00:40:49,719 --> 00:40:52,720 Speaker 1: had no business bunny hopping. But does that mean Hicks's 872 00:40:52,800 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 1: career should have been destroyed over that incident absolutely because 873 00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:58,560 Speaker 1: she had a cut on the finger and a cut 874 00:40:58,640 --> 00:41:00,759 Speaker 1: behind the ear or something like that. So he gets 875 00:41:00,800 --> 00:41:04,440 Speaker 1: his whole career destroyed, even though we saw on TV 876 00:41:04,880 --> 00:41:07,919 Speaker 1: he ran from the white girl, ran from the white girl. 877 00:41:07,960 --> 00:41:09,640 Speaker 1: And I don't know if you saw what his lawyer said, 878 00:41:09,800 --> 00:41:14,600 Speaker 1: Jonathan Mayor, Major's lawyer said, he got convicted not necessarily 879 00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:18,000 Speaker 1: and I'm paraphrasing not necessarily because he abused her, but 880 00:41:18,160 --> 00:41:23,200 Speaker 1: in defending himself from her abuse, he was too aggressive. 881 00:41:23,719 --> 00:41:26,759 Speaker 1: What the hell is that? And they found that she 882 00:41:26,920 --> 00:41:29,560 Speaker 1: was guilty of abuse, but the prosecutor said they didn't 883 00:41:29,560 --> 00:41:31,839 Speaker 1: have enough information to charge her. Look at that. So 884 00:41:31,880 --> 00:41:34,440 Speaker 1: she walks and he gets his career destroyed. That's a 885 00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,040 Speaker 1: damn shame. Even though he's guilty of bunny hopping. I 886 00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:38,839 Speaker 1: don't want to see that happen to any black man 887 00:41:38,880 --> 00:41:42,080 Speaker 1: because that could happen to me under other situations or 888 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,160 Speaker 1: circumstances that don't involve a white woman. So even if 889 00:41:45,200 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 1: he's a bunny hopper, I still got to separate that 890 00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:51,520 Speaker 1: out and look at how the impact of this case 891 00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:53,080 Speaker 1: can affect all black men. 892 00:41:53,840 --> 00:41:57,160 Speaker 3: And when the adults about the power that Lebron has 893 00:41:57,200 --> 00:41:59,360 Speaker 3: in the Lakers' organization because you brought him. Steve national 894 00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:02,279 Speaker 3: Y had no experience. When you see Lebron he gets 895 00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:05,240 Speaker 3: his son drafted and the hiring of JJ Reddick, who's 896 00:42:05,239 --> 00:42:07,879 Speaker 3: never coached anywhere. Absolutely, what are your thoughts on that. 897 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,960 Speaker 1: I'm disappointed in Black America because I feel like they're 898 00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:13,400 Speaker 1: attacking Bronni more than JJ. 899 00:42:13,640 --> 00:42:14,080 Speaker 3: Agree with you. 900 00:42:14,840 --> 00:42:17,799 Speaker 1: How the hell is Bronnie James getting all this heat 901 00:42:17,800 --> 00:42:20,960 Speaker 1: from Black America but JJ Reddick ain't getting all the sea. 902 00:42:21,160 --> 00:42:23,520 Speaker 1: JJ Reddick and never won nothing. He ain't went nothing 903 00:42:23,560 --> 00:42:25,680 Speaker 1: in college, He ain't win none in the NBA, he 904 00:42:25,719 --> 00:42:27,759 Speaker 1: won no MVP. I don't know if he was ever 905 00:42:27,760 --> 00:42:30,800 Speaker 1: a first team offense or defense, maybe once or twice, 906 00:42:30,840 --> 00:42:32,920 Speaker 1: but he clearly don't have the record of a Sam Cassell. 907 00:42:33,280 --> 00:42:35,320 Speaker 1: Sam Consell should have been offered that Lakers job, and, 908 00:42:35,360 --> 00:42:37,840 Speaker 1: if not the Lakers job, one of the coaching vacancies. 909 00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:40,439 Speaker 1: Look at all these good black assistant coaches out there 910 00:42:40,520 --> 00:42:43,839 Speaker 1: who are being overlooked for white privilege. JJ Reddick did 911 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:46,359 Speaker 1: not earn that position. They gave it to him. But 912 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,920 Speaker 1: rather than attack that, we gonna attack the nineteen year 913 00:42:48,960 --> 00:42:51,200 Speaker 1: old kid. I want Lebron to play with his son, 914 00:42:51,360 --> 00:42:53,640 Speaker 1: because the optics of that I think will be very 915 00:42:53,680 --> 00:42:55,799 Speaker 1: positive for young black males, and I think it could 916 00:42:55,800 --> 00:42:58,359 Speaker 1: be a small motivation for black men to do more 917 00:42:58,400 --> 00:43:00,759 Speaker 1: with their sons and more with our So I want 918 00:43:00,800 --> 00:43:03,920 Speaker 1: to see Lebron and Bronnie on the same court. With 919 00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,920 Speaker 1: one disclaimer. If I don't catch Bronnie James bunny hopping, 920 00:43:06,960 --> 00:43:09,239 Speaker 1: no damn more because it be bunny hopping, I'm not 921 00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,480 Speaker 1: supporting them. Bronnie James, I love you, young man, but 922 00:43:12,520 --> 00:43:14,800 Speaker 1: if I catch you bunny hopping, I'm done with you. 923 00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:16,759 Speaker 1: You're not gonna be a role model bunny hopping. But 924 00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:20,399 Speaker 1: outside of that, I want to see Lebron and his son, right, 925 00:43:20,600 --> 00:43:22,680 Speaker 1: you want to see that. That's a good thing. Lebron 926 00:43:22,760 --> 00:43:25,600 Speaker 1: does so much for basketball and the league. He's not 927 00:43:25,680 --> 00:43:27,480 Speaker 1: the goat, that's Kobe and Mike, but he done so 928 00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,880 Speaker 1: much for basketball in the league. He deserved that. Why 929 00:43:29,880 --> 00:43:32,440 Speaker 1: I hate on that, and that's that blackmail jealousy. A 930 00:43:32,480 --> 00:43:34,279 Speaker 1: big problem we have as black men is we don't 931 00:43:34,280 --> 00:43:36,120 Speaker 1: like to see each other win. And the reason why 932 00:43:36,120 --> 00:43:37,799 Speaker 1: we don't like to see each other win is because 933 00:43:37,800 --> 00:43:41,759 Speaker 1: we operate in that European psychological mode of domination and 934 00:43:41,840 --> 00:43:44,560 Speaker 1: control over everything. See when I see y'all, I see 935 00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,759 Speaker 1: I and I my roster far and our brothers who 936 00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:50,000 Speaker 1: I'll be with possibly for Garvey Day and Jamaica next month. 937 00:43:50,120 --> 00:43:52,400 Speaker 1: They say, I and I, I and I means that 938 00:43:52,480 --> 00:43:55,000 Speaker 1: when I speak, I'm speaking as you and I. When 939 00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:57,600 Speaker 1: you speak, you speaking as me and you. When you hurt, 940 00:43:57,680 --> 00:44:00,520 Speaker 1: I heard, when you struggling, I'm struggling. I A It 941 00:44:00,600 --> 00:44:03,719 Speaker 1: is oneness. But we got so much competition amongst us 942 00:44:03,800 --> 00:44:06,279 Speaker 1: as black men that when we see one win, we 943 00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:08,200 Speaker 1: don't think nobody else can. And you know where that 944 00:44:08,239 --> 00:44:11,360 Speaker 1: comes from the plantation. Back on the slave plantation, with 945 00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:14,360 Speaker 1: the manumission laws, the slave master could only free a 946 00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:16,480 Speaker 1: couple slaves a year. So if you got a plantation 947 00:44:16,520 --> 00:44:18,520 Speaker 1: of five hundred, all of us want to be free, 948 00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:21,640 Speaker 1: but only one can. Do you know what that automatically does. 949 00:44:22,040 --> 00:44:24,799 Speaker 1: That sets us up as rivals, That sets us up 950 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:27,799 Speaker 1: as competitors, and that mindset of believing that only one 951 00:44:27,800 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 1: black person can make it at the time is the 952 00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,120 Speaker 1: reason why you get so much hate. It's the reason 953 00:44:32,160 --> 00:44:34,080 Speaker 1: why you get so much hate. It's the reason why 954 00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:36,320 Speaker 1: I get so much hate, because we have been conditioned 955 00:44:36,360 --> 00:44:38,680 Speaker 1: to believe that if DJ Envy is winning on the 956 00:44:38,680 --> 00:44:41,680 Speaker 1: breakfast Club, I can't win somewhere else. If Charlotta Magne 957 00:44:41,760 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 1: is winning on the breakfast Club, I can't win somewhere else. 958 00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:46,240 Speaker 1: If Doctor Umer opened up his own school in Delaware, 959 00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:48,239 Speaker 1: I can't open up one somewhere else. There's enough room 960 00:44:48,280 --> 00:44:49,880 Speaker 1: for all of us to win. So why did we 961 00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:52,440 Speaker 1: get so jealous? Because we've been conditioned to think that 962 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:55,160 Speaker 1: the minute we get one winner, everybody else gotta loose. 963 00:44:55,200 --> 00:44:57,040 Speaker 1: And that's what breeds the envy and the hate and 964 00:44:57,080 --> 00:45:00,000 Speaker 1: the competition. We are not call ocasions. We are not Europeans. 965 00:45:00,160 --> 00:45:03,200 Speaker 1: That's the way we are united. We stand divided. We 966 00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:06,120 Speaker 1: thought it's all about I and I, not me and 967 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:08,320 Speaker 1: you black men. Got to get back to oneness. 968 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:10,600 Speaker 3: But want to say, because you said something about Brownie 969 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,759 Speaker 3: that was interesting. You said, Bronnie, I can't remember how 970 00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:14,000 Speaker 3: you worded it. Just now you say you can't be 971 00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:15,040 Speaker 3: a hero if he's Bunny. 972 00:45:14,760 --> 00:45:16,240 Speaker 1: Hop You can't be a hero if your Bunny Hopper. 973 00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:20,880 Speaker 3: But Kobe, God blessed the dead right both named No. 974 00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,040 Speaker 3: I didn't call them role models. I called them the 975 00:45:24,040 --> 00:45:27,319 Speaker 3: goats of basketball. Okay, Okay, I can't. And Kobe is 976 00:45:27,360 --> 00:45:29,839 Speaker 3: my personal goat. I think he's the greatest basketball player 977 00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,120 Speaker 3: of all time. I can't hang his picture up in 978 00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:35,280 Speaker 3: the Frederick Douglas Marcus Garvey Academy, damn, because you bunny hopped. 979 00:45:35,760 --> 00:45:41,239 Speaker 1: I think Eddie Murphy, I'm gonna say he's a close 980 00:45:41,280 --> 00:45:45,120 Speaker 1: second to Richard Pryor. But Eddie's so talented he may 981 00:45:45,160 --> 00:45:49,279 Speaker 1: have trump Richard. But guess what, Eddie and Richard are 982 00:45:49,320 --> 00:45:50,160 Speaker 1: both bunny hoppers. 983 00:45:50,160 --> 00:45:51,680 Speaker 3: And he got black laby mamas two though. 984 00:45:51,840 --> 00:45:54,400 Speaker 1: I know, But his wife is I don't know. 985 00:45:54,520 --> 00:45:56,839 Speaker 3: I think I don't even if you're married, I don't know. 986 00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,640 Speaker 1: Well, that last one he was with, she was you 987 00:45:59,640 --> 00:46:02,879 Speaker 1: see Dave Chappelle, I love him for as human. Dave 988 00:46:02,920 --> 00:46:05,439 Speaker 1: Chappelle ain't married to a black woman. His picture can't 989 00:46:05,480 --> 00:46:07,839 Speaker 1: go up in my school. I love him, I like him, 990 00:46:07,960 --> 00:46:09,840 Speaker 1: but I can't hold you up as a role model 991 00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:12,360 Speaker 1: because in order for you to complete that role model process, 992 00:46:12,640 --> 00:46:15,680 Speaker 1: your queen got to look like your mother. You see 993 00:46:15,680 --> 00:46:17,400 Speaker 1: what I'm saying, And so I can't hold them up. 994 00:46:17,400 --> 00:46:18,800 Speaker 1: I can respect them. I could like him, but a 995 00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:21,399 Speaker 1: role model meaning black men, is to come in your 996 00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 1: image in your steady, in your path. I can't do that. 997 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:25,840 Speaker 1: And that's why I'm hoping Broni James does a bunny 998 00:46:25,880 --> 00:46:27,239 Speaker 1: hot because he's going to get a lot of his 999 00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:31,040 Speaker 1: father's cachet. Until Lebron's credit. He married Savannah, a beautiful 1000 00:46:31,040 --> 00:46:33,440 Speaker 1: African queen. I need Bronni to do the same thing. 1001 00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:35,440 Speaker 1: And if I could talk to Lebron and Savannah, I 1002 00:46:35,440 --> 00:46:36,960 Speaker 1: want to know why he took a snow bunny to 1003 00:46:36,960 --> 00:46:39,600 Speaker 1: the prom. I guess because Lebron took a snow bunny 1004 00:46:39,640 --> 00:46:41,440 Speaker 1: to the prom. But I need Lebron and Savannah to 1005 00:46:41,480 --> 00:46:43,040 Speaker 1: work that. I because I love y'all as a great 1006 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:43,600 Speaker 1: black fell. 1007 00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:45,960 Speaker 3: School. 1008 00:46:46,400 --> 00:46:48,040 Speaker 1: Why did somebody send me a picture of Lebron with 1009 00:46:48,120 --> 00:46:49,799 Speaker 1: a white girl? This is the other day they said 1010 00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:50,680 Speaker 1: he took a white girl to the pro. 1011 00:46:50,800 --> 00:46:52,320 Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure he took Savantage to the pronce. I 1012 00:46:52,320 --> 00:46:52,640 Speaker 3: don't know. 1013 00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,000 Speaker 1: Well, maybe he won on the white girl's prime. Maybe 1014 00:46:55,040 --> 00:46:56,640 Speaker 1: he took Savannah maybe one of the white girl's prime. 1015 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:58,799 Speaker 1: But somebody said he took a white girl to the prom, 1016 00:46:58,880 --> 00:47:00,720 Speaker 1: so I got to investigate that. But yeah, no bunny 1017 00:47:00,719 --> 00:47:02,520 Speaker 1: hopping black queens forever. 1018 00:47:03,239 --> 00:47:07,360 Speaker 2: Nobody never said they said they just sent me on 1019 00:47:07,400 --> 00:47:09,319 Speaker 2: a tech. They said, Eddie Murphy is not married just 1020 00:47:09,320 --> 00:47:09,880 Speaker 2: as girlfriend. 1021 00:47:09,960 --> 00:47:12,040 Speaker 1: Okay, let me why is she? What is she? 1022 00:47:12,040 --> 00:47:17,000 Speaker 2: She's Caucasian. See she's Caucasian. Eminem, Yes, can't be the 1023 00:47:17,000 --> 00:47:18,160 Speaker 2: goat because he's white. 1024 00:47:18,200 --> 00:47:20,479 Speaker 1: Is with Eminem? Cannot be the goat because he's white. 1025 00:47:20,520 --> 00:47:23,520 Speaker 1: First of all, my perspective on this issue is not 1026 00:47:23,600 --> 00:47:27,120 Speaker 1: about Eminem. I gotta make this clear. It could be anybody. 1027 00:47:27,120 --> 00:47:29,359 Speaker 1: You follow what I'm saying. You could put Maclin Moore 1028 00:47:29,360 --> 00:47:36,920 Speaker 1: in the conversation or MC search no Caucasian, Arab, East Indian, European, Jew, Latino, 1029 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:41,719 Speaker 1: no non African can be the best of anything that 1030 00:47:41,880 --> 00:47:45,520 Speaker 1: is African, because that is our culture and you never 1031 00:47:45,640 --> 00:47:49,239 Speaker 1: relinquish control over your culture. So he could be a 1032 00:47:49,239 --> 00:47:51,160 Speaker 1: great lyricist if they were to say he's one of 1033 00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:53,440 Speaker 1: the best lyricists of all time. They can say that 1034 00:47:53,480 --> 00:47:56,040 Speaker 1: if they want. But you ain't no goat. You don't 1035 00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:58,839 Speaker 1: put a white person over something that we created that 1036 00:47:58,920 --> 00:48:01,040 Speaker 1: has roots going to all way back to ancient Kimmit 1037 00:48:01,160 --> 00:48:03,279 Speaker 1: and you're gonna give it over to a Caucasian. That's 1038 00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:05,520 Speaker 1: not fair. You do not do that. There's too many 1039 00:48:05,600 --> 00:48:09,560 Speaker 1: black MC's who are better than Eminem lyrically, who if 1040 00:48:09,560 --> 00:48:11,520 Speaker 1: you're going to go goat status, you need to consider. 1041 00:48:11,560 --> 00:48:13,840 Speaker 1: But Eminem and a lot of them who are saying 1042 00:48:13,880 --> 00:48:16,399 Speaker 1: this are only saying this because they're hoping Eminem throw 1043 00:48:16,400 --> 00:48:18,680 Speaker 1: them some money, throw them a cameo. I don't think 1044 00:48:18,680 --> 00:48:20,759 Speaker 1: they're really speaking out of their truth. I think they're 1045 00:48:20,760 --> 00:48:23,200 Speaker 1: speaking out of their desperation to get put on by Eminem. 1046 00:48:23,400 --> 00:48:25,680 Speaker 1: But I was very disappointed and seeing all these black 1047 00:48:25,680 --> 00:48:28,640 Speaker 1: males come out against me and defense the Eminem. I 1048 00:48:28,680 --> 00:48:30,560 Speaker 1: think they're all went the law school overnight and got 1049 00:48:30,560 --> 00:48:32,440 Speaker 1: a law degree because they put on some of the 1050 00:48:32,440 --> 00:48:35,000 Speaker 1: best soliloquies I've ever seen. And I ain't gonna call 1051 00:48:35,040 --> 00:48:37,200 Speaker 1: they names, but I'm disappointed, and because some of them 1052 00:48:37,200 --> 00:48:39,480 Speaker 1: are like, they're my favorite artists, right, And I'm like, 1053 00:48:39,480 --> 00:48:41,480 Speaker 1: come on, bro, you don't feel the need to protect 1054 00:48:41,480 --> 00:48:44,080 Speaker 1: your culture from nobody. And I'm seeing them defend Eminem 1055 00:48:44,120 --> 00:48:47,960 Speaker 1: without his requestsut without a requirement, without being paid. And 1056 00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:50,200 Speaker 1: you know what bothered me, I've never seen none of 1057 00:48:50,239 --> 00:48:54,040 Speaker 1: them rappers who defended Eminem against me. I've never seen 1058 00:48:54,080 --> 00:48:56,480 Speaker 1: them defend black women like that in public. I've never 1059 00:48:56,480 --> 00:48:58,920 Speaker 1: seen them speak out against domestic violence like that. I 1060 00:48:59,040 --> 00:49:01,480 Speaker 1: never seen them speak out of disrespect towards Black women 1061 00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:03,160 Speaker 1: in public. So you will go to war for a 1062 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:06,040 Speaker 1: white man. Here we go white Jesus syndrome again. I 1063 00:49:06,040 --> 00:49:08,800 Speaker 1: gotta defend my savior. You'll go to war for Eminem, 1064 00:49:08,960 --> 00:49:11,120 Speaker 1: You'll go to war for Caitlin Clark, You'll go to 1065 00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:14,080 Speaker 1: war for JJ Reddick, and you'll never lift your voice 1066 00:49:14,160 --> 00:49:16,040 Speaker 1: up to protect a black woman in public. 1067 00:49:16,239 --> 00:49:17,479 Speaker 2: Kendrick Lamar Vus Drake. 1068 00:49:18,440 --> 00:49:20,759 Speaker 1: Here's my issue with Kendrick Lamar Versus Drake. First of all, 1069 00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,319 Speaker 1: shout out to Kendrick. I think he's one of the 1070 00:49:23,320 --> 00:49:24,680 Speaker 1: more socially progressive rappers. 1071 00:49:24,719 --> 00:49:25,239 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 1072 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,600 Speaker 1: I don't see him worshiping materialism like so many of 1073 00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:30,440 Speaker 1: the rest of them do. I like Kendrick and what 1074 00:49:30,640 --> 00:49:36,360 Speaker 1: he brought those brothers together to celebrate without any violence, 1075 00:49:36,719 --> 00:49:39,080 Speaker 1: the whole community loving it. I thought it was beautiful. 1076 00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,279 Speaker 1: Shout out to Kendrick. But Kendrick, I need you to 1077 00:49:42,360 --> 00:49:45,120 Speaker 1: keep that same energy when it's time to fight against 1078 00:49:45,160 --> 00:49:48,839 Speaker 1: gentrification in Los Angeles because Black people are being displaced 1079 00:49:48,920 --> 00:49:54,279 Speaker 1: in extreme numbers in Los Angeles, Compton, South Central, Long Beach, 1080 00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:56,680 Speaker 1: all in that area. So don't just bring out people 1081 00:49:56,719 --> 00:49:59,040 Speaker 1: together to party and then support your beef with Drake. 1082 00:49:59,440 --> 00:50:01,520 Speaker 1: Bring them the gather the protest, to march, and to 1083 00:50:01,719 --> 00:50:06,840 Speaker 1: organize against gentrification. Because there is a Mexican bourgeoisie, white 1084 00:50:06,880 --> 00:50:11,439 Speaker 1: bourgeoisie click in LA that is working together against Black people. 1085 00:50:11,440 --> 00:50:14,520 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say the Mexicans and the Caucasians, not as 1086 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:17,960 Speaker 1: a group, but their elites and their leaders are clicking 1087 00:50:18,040 --> 00:50:21,000 Speaker 1: up and working against Black people in Los Angeles County 1088 00:50:21,120 --> 00:50:24,560 Speaker 1: and surrounding areas to push us out the neighborhood. Black 1089 00:50:24,640 --> 00:50:27,400 Speaker 1: incarceration rates in California are some of the highest in 1090 00:50:27,440 --> 00:50:30,680 Speaker 1: the country. Kendrick Lamar, why don't we organize against that? 1091 00:50:31,080 --> 00:50:33,360 Speaker 1: We see organized to hire some of our young people, 1092 00:50:33,440 --> 00:50:36,160 Speaker 1: organize the build a school, organized to build a hospital. 1093 00:50:36,200 --> 00:50:38,160 Speaker 1: I like what he did, but don't tell me you 1094 00:50:38,239 --> 00:50:42,600 Speaker 1: only did that to celebrate the beef. You understand. Use 1095 00:50:42,640 --> 00:50:46,120 Speaker 1: those brothers, bring them back together and achieve something systematically 1096 00:50:46,320 --> 00:50:48,279 Speaker 1: to help our people out. Same thing. Go for Drake. 1097 00:50:48,480 --> 00:50:50,960 Speaker 1: You and Canada. Black people in Canada struggling. I got 1098 00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,040 Speaker 1: a lot of supporters in Canada. We talk all the time. 1099 00:50:53,040 --> 00:50:56,040 Speaker 1: I be going to Canada next month or maybe three 1100 00:50:56,040 --> 00:50:58,879 Speaker 1: months from now, but nonetheless they catching the same hell miseducation, 1101 00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:03,439 Speaker 1: mass incarceration, gentrification, police genocide, economic of park time. Drake, 1102 00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,440 Speaker 1: Are you thinking about building the school, drake? Are you 1103 00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:07,520 Speaker 1: going to open up a supermarket? Drake? Are you going 1104 00:51:07,560 --> 00:51:09,080 Speaker 1: to open up a farm and teach these young kids 1105 00:51:09,080 --> 00:51:11,120 Speaker 1: how to farm? Same thing for Kendrick Lamary. I got 1106 00:51:11,160 --> 00:51:13,360 Speaker 1: the money to do it. I'm not pocket watching. But 1107 00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,920 Speaker 1: don't bring those people together just the party. You got 1108 00:51:15,920 --> 00:51:17,480 Speaker 1: to bring us together to do something, because what you're 1109 00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:19,880 Speaker 1: doing is you're playing on people emotions. Black people see 1110 00:51:19,960 --> 00:51:22,360 Speaker 1: crips and bloods coming together. Shout out to both of them, 1111 00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:26,080 Speaker 1: piecing it up, working together and joining themselves with Kendrick. 1112 00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:27,959 Speaker 1: That was good. We need the social we need a break, 1113 00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:31,000 Speaker 1: we need a release. But brother, we also need political progress. 1114 00:51:31,080 --> 00:51:34,160 Speaker 1: We also need economic structure. We also need social progress. 1115 00:51:34,239 --> 00:51:36,040 Speaker 1: So don't just limit it to that. Take it to 1116 00:51:36,080 --> 00:51:37,640 Speaker 1: the next level. And I do got to say this 1117 00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:39,719 Speaker 1: on that note of the whole eminem being the goat. 1118 00:51:40,239 --> 00:51:42,400 Speaker 1: You got to have boundaries around your culture. When I 1119 00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:46,239 Speaker 1: saw Rick Ross got swung on by that Caucasian, that 1120 00:51:46,280 --> 00:51:49,480 Speaker 1: bothered me because here you have a black artist being 1121 00:51:49,520 --> 00:51:52,360 Speaker 1: swung on by a Caucasian who also believe was an artist, 1122 00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:55,440 Speaker 1: but it was over to Drake Beef. We have allowed 1123 00:51:55,560 --> 00:51:58,920 Speaker 1: nine Africans to get so comfortable in our culture that 1124 00:51:59,000 --> 00:52:01,279 Speaker 1: they would step to an artists and swing on him 1125 00:52:01,600 --> 00:52:03,720 Speaker 1: in the name of a beef that is all black, 1126 00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,600 Speaker 1: that ain't got nothing to do with them, and feel 1127 00:52:05,680 --> 00:52:08,320 Speaker 1: completely comfortable swinging on a black artist. That should not 1128 00:52:08,360 --> 00:52:11,239 Speaker 1: be acceptable. Not all black. Say that again, what do 1129 00:52:11,239 --> 00:52:11,480 Speaker 1: you mean. 1130 00:52:11,440 --> 00:52:13,640 Speaker 3: Because Drake is not all black? He's half black. 1131 00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:16,080 Speaker 1: Well, there's really no such thing as half He's a 1132 00:52:16,120 --> 00:52:19,399 Speaker 1: black man with a white mother. But to what I understand, Well, 1133 00:52:19,400 --> 00:52:22,000 Speaker 1: and I guess this is controversial because I believe Drake 1134 00:52:22,040 --> 00:52:24,479 Speaker 1: always identified as black. That's what I saw. I don't 1135 00:52:24,480 --> 00:52:27,160 Speaker 1: follow him heavy, but that's what I saw. I'm hearing 1136 00:52:27,200 --> 00:52:30,080 Speaker 1: people say he didn't necessarily it was cosplay. 1137 00:52:30,239 --> 00:52:33,920 Speaker 3: It was it was cosplay, meaning that he was pretending 1138 00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:38,640 Speaker 3: to imitate Black American culture in order to Drake Drake. 1139 00:52:38,920 --> 00:52:41,480 Speaker 1: I saw that. Now, when when was that in his life? 1140 00:52:42,200 --> 00:52:44,399 Speaker 1: It's not acceptable? But was that recent? Was he a kid? 1141 00:52:44,400 --> 00:52:46,879 Speaker 3: I think mostly when he became a rapper. As you've 1142 00:52:46,880 --> 00:52:48,759 Speaker 3: seen him evolved, You know what I mean, because you 1143 00:52:48,840 --> 00:52:50,799 Speaker 3: remember the originally they had the video where he had 1144 00:52:50,800 --> 00:52:53,360 Speaker 3: the bar mitzvah in the video. Okay, he was just 1145 00:52:53,920 --> 00:53:04,200 Speaker 3: a cool Jewish kid. 1146 00:52:55,480 --> 00:53:02,279 Speaker 1: But he was always okay, so he. 1147 00:53:02,320 --> 00:53:05,439 Speaker 3: Never claim to be black American though, I never heard 1148 00:53:05,480 --> 00:53:06,040 Speaker 3: that from Drake. 1149 00:53:06,600 --> 00:53:10,640 Speaker 1: Okay, but I know if he ever said I'm mixed race, 1150 00:53:10,680 --> 00:53:11,919 Speaker 1: I'm not black, I'm mixed race. 1151 00:53:12,360 --> 00:53:13,280 Speaker 2: I've never heard. 1152 00:53:13,440 --> 00:53:15,080 Speaker 3: He's always claimed his Jewishness. 1153 00:53:14,680 --> 00:53:16,960 Speaker 2: Always, Yes, He's always he's always claimed. 1154 00:53:16,680 --> 00:53:20,280 Speaker 1: That, yes, Okay, So he's always been unapologetic about the Jewishness, absolutely, 1155 00:53:20,320 --> 00:53:23,759 Speaker 1: but not necessarily unapologetic about being black. I haven't heard that, 1156 00:53:23,800 --> 00:53:26,000 Speaker 1: But then he needs to clarify. I wouldn't need Drake 1157 00:53:26,120 --> 00:53:29,240 Speaker 1: to clarify that for me. You think I think he's. 1158 00:53:29,080 --> 00:53:31,120 Speaker 2: Been black, but he's also said that he's Jewish. 1159 00:53:31,160 --> 00:53:32,560 Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with him saying that because 1160 00:53:32,560 --> 00:53:34,759 Speaker 1: he don't have to renounce his mother to be a 1161 00:53:34,800 --> 00:53:37,040 Speaker 1: black man. You follow what I'm saying. But I need 1162 00:53:37,120 --> 00:53:40,399 Speaker 1: him to be unapologetic about his blackness. And if he's 1163 00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,960 Speaker 1: more unapologetic about being Jewish then he is about being African, 1164 00:53:44,200 --> 00:53:45,919 Speaker 1: then I can't consider him one of us. He got 1165 00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:49,120 Speaker 1: to clarify that for me, right I'm working from the 1166 00:53:49,160 --> 00:53:51,759 Speaker 1: assumption that he's made it clear that I'm black, and 1167 00:53:51,800 --> 00:53:53,640 Speaker 1: I know that's who I am. If he ain't made 1168 00:53:53,719 --> 00:53:56,440 Speaker 1: that clear, then I need some answers from Drake, which 1169 00:53:56,880 --> 00:54:01,359 Speaker 1: means Kendrake is justified in his crier. Not like us. 1170 00:54:01,360 --> 00:54:03,560 Speaker 3: He told Kendrick. He said, Yo, you you always rapping 1171 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:07,000 Speaker 3: like you want to set the slaves tree. Drake said that, yes, 1172 00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:08,760 Speaker 3: one of the disc records. 1173 00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:09,640 Speaker 1: I didn't know that. 1174 00:54:09,719 --> 00:54:17,040 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, man, that's why Kendrick said on his record, No, 1175 00:54:17,560 --> 00:54:19,359 Speaker 3: once upon a time we all was in change. Yes, 1176 00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,960 Speaker 3: Homeie still double down calling us some slaves. Yes, that's 1177 00:54:21,960 --> 00:54:23,960 Speaker 3: why he said that in response to what Drake said. 1178 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:29,279 Speaker 1: I didn't know Drake. Oh man, Oh no, okay, I 1179 00:54:29,320 --> 00:54:32,440 Speaker 1: got the table this one. I got some research to do. Drake, 1180 00:54:33,040 --> 00:54:36,160 Speaker 1: hit me up. If this is wrong. I need clarity, 1181 00:54:36,200 --> 00:54:39,280 Speaker 1: my brother. I need clarity. Now. I understand where Kendrick 1182 00:54:39,320 --> 00:54:42,080 Speaker 1: came from. But my thing again with Kendrick lov him 1183 00:54:42,120 --> 00:54:44,839 Speaker 1: likingim take this to another level. You have that type 1184 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,640 Speaker 1: of influence amongst our people where you can bring opposing 1185 00:54:47,680 --> 00:54:51,440 Speaker 1: parties together, have fun and enjoy themselves. Let's build something 1186 00:54:51,480 --> 00:54:54,160 Speaker 1: with that in itg We can't stop with partying. We 1187 00:54:54,280 --> 00:54:56,040 Speaker 1: have to pro create another thing. 1188 00:54:56,080 --> 00:54:57,480 Speaker 3: Kendrick said. He said he didn't want to hear Drake 1189 00:54:57,560 --> 00:54:59,799 Speaker 3: say say the word nigga no more. And you were 1190 00:54:59,800 --> 00:55:02,560 Speaker 3: on Little Yachti's a Safe Place podcast and you said 1191 00:55:03,080 --> 00:55:04,760 Speaker 3: that the use of the n world should be outlawed 1192 00:55:04,760 --> 00:55:07,280 Speaker 3: because the PTSD absolutely traumatic slavery. 1193 00:55:07,360 --> 00:55:07,920 Speaker 1: Absolutely. 1194 00:55:07,960 --> 00:55:10,239 Speaker 3: Malcolm Jamal Warner was up here. He feels the same way. 1195 00:55:10,320 --> 00:55:12,600 Speaker 1: So yes, nobody should be using it. Because when I 1196 00:55:12,680 --> 00:55:17,759 Speaker 1: call you an ni doublega, you don't you never met 1197 00:55:17,800 --> 00:55:21,719 Speaker 1: me before. And Charlotmagne said, hit come on, or Emmy said, 1198 00:55:21,760 --> 00:55:24,160 Speaker 1: hit come on. Are you expecting to see a lawyer, 1199 00:55:24,239 --> 00:55:26,719 Speaker 1: a doctor, a business owner when you get the prefix 1200 00:55:26,840 --> 00:55:32,640 Speaker 1: niwga or are you expecting anything positive to walk through that door? No? 1201 00:55:33,400 --> 00:55:36,360 Speaker 1: You see, so the word does not have a positive connotation. 1202 00:55:36,960 --> 00:55:39,560 Speaker 1: And here's the bigger question. Why are we trying to 1203 00:55:39,600 --> 00:55:44,200 Speaker 1: rescue the most racially offensive and derogatory term ever used 1204 00:55:44,320 --> 00:55:46,839 Speaker 1: in the history of mankind. You don't see European Jews 1205 00:55:46,880 --> 00:55:49,880 Speaker 1: trying to rescue of the pejorative terms used against them. 1206 00:55:49,880 --> 00:55:51,920 Speaker 1: You don't see Latinos doing that. You don't see Asians 1207 00:55:52,040 --> 00:55:53,840 Speaker 1: show me and other people who are fighting for the 1208 00:55:53,920 --> 00:55:57,640 Speaker 1: right to use the most dehumanizing label in history to 1209 00:55:57,719 --> 00:56:00,480 Speaker 1: refer to each other in a social space. It speaks 1210 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:03,359 Speaker 1: to the self hate. It speaks to the fact that 1211 00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:05,799 Speaker 1: we do feel inferior to other people. Because if I 1212 00:56:05,800 --> 00:56:08,080 Speaker 1: didn't feel inferior, there's no way in hell I would 1213 00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:10,400 Speaker 1: fight for the right for for envy to call me that. 1214 00:56:11,440 --> 00:56:14,840 Speaker 3: Damn. I got a few more questions Philadelphia, Well, just 1215 00:56:14,880 --> 00:56:17,000 Speaker 3: in general, what do you think about school choice? Because 1216 00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:19,920 Speaker 3: we saw what happened in Pennsylvania recently, where's been upset 1217 00:56:19,920 --> 00:56:22,239 Speaker 3: with z because jay Z decided him and Rock Nation 1218 00:56:22,320 --> 00:56:26,040 Speaker 3: decided to be a benefactor to this school choice. 1219 00:56:26,080 --> 00:56:28,439 Speaker 1: Did he change direction? Because I don't think he really knew. 1220 00:56:28,480 --> 00:56:31,359 Speaker 1: He's not an educator, so I think Sean Carter thought 1221 00:56:31,400 --> 00:56:34,560 Speaker 1: he was doing something positive. Yes, did he change direction 1222 00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,640 Speaker 1: or did he say I'm staying with this initiative. 1223 00:56:37,800 --> 00:56:38,879 Speaker 3: I'm not sure? 1224 00:56:39,000 --> 00:56:43,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I'm wondering to he should change direction? Mister Carter. 1225 00:56:43,719 --> 00:56:46,799 Speaker 1: Remember we met back in nineteen ninety seven Pricillo Gymnasium, 1226 00:56:46,800 --> 00:56:50,600 Speaker 1: Millersville University. That was me. Oh, anyway, we brought him 1227 00:56:50,640 --> 00:56:52,640 Speaker 1: to the Spring Flame concert, him and KRS one back 1228 00:56:52,640 --> 00:56:56,320 Speaker 1: when I was BSU president. Anyhow, I do not support 1229 00:56:56,360 --> 00:57:00,520 Speaker 1: school choice. I'm gonna tell you why DJMV and Charlotta 1230 00:57:00,480 --> 00:57:04,040 Speaker 1: Mane a millionaires doctor Umar is not DJ and Envy 1231 00:57:04,120 --> 00:57:07,400 Speaker 1: hypothetically got multiple children. So if school choice is going 1232 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,120 Speaker 1: to give them ten thousand dollars per child, you good 1233 00:57:10,120 --> 00:57:11,920 Speaker 1: with that? You know why you can pay the other 1234 00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,240 Speaker 1: thirty thousand for your four children's private school tuition. I can't. 1235 00:57:15,440 --> 00:57:17,800 Speaker 1: I'm a working class brother raising four kids on my 1236 00:57:17,840 --> 00:57:20,840 Speaker 1: own pup. If New York City public schools give me 1237 00:57:20,880 --> 00:57:23,480 Speaker 1: ten grand, or Philadelphia Public schools give me ten grand, 1238 00:57:23,600 --> 00:57:25,600 Speaker 1: or Newark, New Jersey public schools give me ten grand, 1239 00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,120 Speaker 1: I still got to come up with the other thirty. 1240 00:57:27,200 --> 00:57:28,560 Speaker 1: I still got to come up with the other twenty. 1241 00:57:28,600 --> 00:57:32,320 Speaker 1: My point is school choice only benefits middle and upper 1242 00:57:32,400 --> 00:57:35,080 Speaker 1: middle class Black families. Most of our kids are raised 1243 00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,160 Speaker 1: by who they mother sixty seven percent. Fifty percent of 1244 00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:41,880 Speaker 1: all homeless families are Black women and their children fifty percent, 1245 00:57:42,200 --> 00:57:43,760 Speaker 1: which is why I got to get on Area Adams 1246 00:57:43,800 --> 00:57:45,640 Speaker 1: of Brandon when we get to the migrant crisis. But 1247 00:57:45,680 --> 00:57:49,840 Speaker 1: my point is this, how does school choice benefit poor parents? 1248 00:57:50,080 --> 00:57:52,760 Speaker 1: How does it benefit working class I'm barely paying my mortgage, 1249 00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:58,200 Speaker 1: and you see the price of everything has went up, everything, food, utilities, rent. 1250 00:57:59,280 --> 00:58:00,880 Speaker 1: How am I going to pay all these bills as 1251 00:58:00,920 --> 00:58:03,240 Speaker 1: a single black mother raising sixty seven percent of our 1252 00:58:03,360 --> 00:58:06,400 Speaker 1: kids and still find money to offset the cost of tuition. 1253 00:58:06,480 --> 00:58:09,640 Speaker 1: It's not realistic. School choice is a scam. It makes 1254 00:58:09,680 --> 00:58:12,000 Speaker 1: poor people think that we're gonna give you an opportunity 1255 00:58:12,120 --> 00:58:14,200 Speaker 1: to sing a child to a better school, although we 1256 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:17,640 Speaker 1: know you can't pay the balance. It's a scam. I 1257 00:58:17,720 --> 00:58:21,720 Speaker 1: do not support school choice. Another thing, don't forget about 1258 00:58:21,760 --> 00:58:25,160 Speaker 1: black boys. Dj Nvy hypothetically DJ Envy's son is a 1259 00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:28,680 Speaker 1: problem child. Charlemagne daughter is a problem child. Even though 1260 00:58:28,760 --> 00:58:31,040 Speaker 1: y'all can afford the tuition, you got a problem. You 1261 00:58:31,080 --> 00:58:33,800 Speaker 1: know why, because the Catholic school can accept who they want. 1262 00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:36,640 Speaker 1: The private school can accept who they want when they 1263 00:58:36,640 --> 00:58:38,720 Speaker 1: see all them pink slips in your son's record, when 1264 00:58:38,760 --> 00:58:40,560 Speaker 1: they see all those pink slips in your daughter's record. 1265 00:58:40,560 --> 00:58:42,880 Speaker 1: Even though y'all can afford it, even though y'all celebrities, 1266 00:58:42,920 --> 00:58:44,520 Speaker 1: they gonna say get out of here, and there's nothing 1267 00:58:44,560 --> 00:58:46,520 Speaker 1: you can do. Because they independent or they parochial, they 1268 00:58:46,560 --> 00:58:49,200 Speaker 1: can operate like that public schools gotta take everybody, not 1269 00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,000 Speaker 1: the independent schools. So here's my question, where are all 1270 00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:56,320 Speaker 1: the black kids nobody want going to go? Once New 1271 00:58:56,400 --> 00:59:00,320 Speaker 1: York City becomes a complete school choice district. You see 1272 00:59:00,320 --> 00:59:03,280 Speaker 1: that with shutting down public schools. Find a private or 1273 00:59:03,360 --> 00:59:07,200 Speaker 1: front a private or parochial school HICCO ten K. But 1274 00:59:07,280 --> 00:59:09,600 Speaker 1: nobody wants your son where he going to go? You 1275 00:59:09,640 --> 00:59:12,000 Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. You're basically going to create a 1276 00:59:12,160 --> 00:59:16,920 Speaker 1: massive black male high school dropout academic epidemic. It's not 1277 00:59:16,960 --> 00:59:19,240 Speaker 1: like we don't have one, but it's gonna be mushroomed 1278 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:21,880 Speaker 1: because nobody has to take your child. So all these 1279 00:59:21,960 --> 00:59:27,120 Speaker 1: ady h D boys, ed D oppositional, intermittent, explosive, riddling 1280 00:59:27,160 --> 00:59:30,800 Speaker 1: adderall concerto cyclerk meade, who want them? Because remember, the 1281 00:59:30,800 --> 00:59:33,760 Speaker 1: private schools don't have to have special at Catholic schools 1282 00:59:33,760 --> 00:59:35,000 Speaker 1: don't have to have special let they ain't got no 1283 00:59:35,040 --> 00:59:38,800 Speaker 1: special class for that emotionally disturbed boy. Who gonna take them? Nobody? 1284 00:59:39,560 --> 00:59:41,840 Speaker 1: It's the quickest way to destroy the futures of black boys. 1285 00:59:41,840 --> 00:59:44,840 Speaker 1: I do not support school choice. It's a Republican scam. 1286 00:59:44,960 --> 00:59:46,720 Speaker 2: Now let's go to the migrant issue. 1287 00:59:46,920 --> 00:59:51,080 Speaker 3: Yes, sir, which everybody wants to label. Whenever you talk 1288 00:59:51,120 --> 00:59:53,520 Speaker 3: about what the black activists in Chicago are going through, 1289 00:59:53,600 --> 00:59:55,720 Speaker 3: or whenever you talk about what black people here in 1290 00:59:55,760 --> 00:59:59,080 Speaker 3: New York are complaining about, they'll say, that's maga messaging. 1291 00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,320 Speaker 3: How is it maga mess It's not an American message. 1292 01:00:01,360 --> 01:00:04,760 Speaker 1: Listen. The bottom line is when Joe Biden got elected, 1293 01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:08,840 Speaker 1: he said he wanted to fast track four million undocumented 1294 01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:14,080 Speaker 1: residents to full citizenship. Black people completely ignored it. I 1295 01:00:14,200 --> 01:00:15,960 Speaker 1: spoke on it. I said, do you know why he 1296 01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,280 Speaker 1: won a fast track four million? Because he know he's 1297 01:00:18,280 --> 01:00:20,120 Speaker 1: not gonna do nothing for us. We ain't going to 1298 01:00:20,160 --> 01:00:22,400 Speaker 1: be motivated to vote for him November. So what he's 1299 01:00:22,440 --> 01:00:24,520 Speaker 1: going to do is have these migrants already set up 1300 01:00:24,520 --> 01:00:26,920 Speaker 1: with citizenship so they can replace the black vote that 1301 01:00:26,960 --> 01:00:30,160 Speaker 1: he loses. The migrants are being put in our communities 1302 01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:33,680 Speaker 1: on purpose, New York and Chicago on purpose because they 1303 01:00:33,680 --> 01:00:36,520 Speaker 1: are what the two blackest cities in America, they are 1304 01:00:36,520 --> 01:00:39,200 Speaker 1: the two largest cities in America. They're the two most 1305 01:00:39,200 --> 01:00:42,680 Speaker 1: politically conscious black communities in America. So if we can 1306 01:00:43,200 --> 01:00:45,360 Speaker 1: wash out the black with the brown in New York, 1307 01:00:45,520 --> 01:00:47,280 Speaker 1: if we can wash out the black with the brown 1308 01:00:47,320 --> 01:00:50,439 Speaker 1: in Chicago, Philly, don't stand a chance, Atlanta, don't stand 1309 01:00:50,440 --> 01:00:54,720 Speaker 1: a chance, La Houston, Dallas, Detroit, Chicago, don't stand a chance. 1310 01:00:54,800 --> 01:00:57,000 Speaker 1: The migrants are here for three reasons. Replace us at 1311 01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:02,240 Speaker 1: the post, replace us at the low, low end industry jobs. Right. 1312 01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:05,760 Speaker 1: See when Donald Trump said during the debate that Joe 1313 01:01:05,800 --> 01:01:08,640 Speaker 1: Biden is taking black jobs and giving them to migrants, 1314 01:01:09,040 --> 01:01:11,320 Speaker 1: he was correct, although he didn't say it because he 1315 01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:13,040 Speaker 1: cared about us, But he's right. When people say, what 1316 01:01:13,040 --> 01:01:15,080 Speaker 1: do he mean by black jobs, get out your bougie 1317 01:01:15,120 --> 01:01:18,000 Speaker 1: feelings and deal with the reality. One third of black 1318 01:01:18,040 --> 01:01:20,080 Speaker 1: men have a felony, so there's a lot of jobs 1319 01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:26,640 Speaker 1: they will never qualify for. They are mostly what essential workers, warehouse, trucking, security, 1320 01:01:27,040 --> 01:01:28,560 Speaker 1: and a lot of those jobs are going to who 1321 01:01:28,840 --> 01:01:31,760 Speaker 1: the migrants. So that's what he meant by black jobs. 1322 01:01:31,760 --> 01:01:33,920 Speaker 1: We got to stop being so sensitive and look at 1323 01:01:33,960 --> 01:01:36,000 Speaker 1: the reality of it. I was reading a report the 1324 01:01:36,040 --> 01:01:39,240 Speaker 1: other day they said the Latinos take it over, his 1325 01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:43,240 Speaker 1: taking over the construction jobs, they taking them over, and 1326 01:01:43,280 --> 01:01:46,040 Speaker 1: the low industry work like you're guarding in your landscaping, 1327 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:49,520 Speaker 1: completely taking it over. They're not the enemy. The problem 1328 01:01:49,560 --> 01:01:51,760 Speaker 1: is black people don't get as much opportunity. So then 1329 01:01:51,800 --> 01:01:53,360 Speaker 1: people say, well, you know, white people don't really like 1330 01:01:53,400 --> 01:01:55,120 Speaker 1: brown people like that. That's true, but you know what 1331 01:01:55,160 --> 01:02:00,000 Speaker 1: the difference is, they don't have the burden of accountability 1332 01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:01,800 Speaker 1: with them that they had with us. We built the country, 1333 01:02:01,960 --> 01:02:03,840 Speaker 1: So every time they look at us to deal with us. 1334 01:02:03,880 --> 01:02:06,760 Speaker 1: The bottom line is y'all brought them here and they 1335 01:02:06,840 --> 01:02:08,880 Speaker 1: built y'all into what y'all are. They don't have to 1336 01:02:08,920 --> 01:02:10,720 Speaker 1: say that to the Venezuelans. They don't have to say 1337 01:02:10,720 --> 01:02:12,400 Speaker 1: that to the Colombians, they don't have to say that 1338 01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:15,240 Speaker 1: to the Mexicans. So although they don't like brown, they 1339 01:02:15,240 --> 01:02:17,720 Speaker 1: will much rather deal with them than the black because 1340 01:02:17,760 --> 01:02:20,160 Speaker 1: with the black, that is a white man's burden that 1341 01:02:20,200 --> 01:02:22,720 Speaker 1: you owe him restitution for two hundred and forty six 1342 01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:24,640 Speaker 1: years of unpaid labor. Now let's look at what Aery 1343 01:02:24,680 --> 01:02:27,000 Speaker 1: Adams is doing over there in New York. A family 1344 01:02:27,000 --> 01:02:29,960 Speaker 1: of Ford is getting fourteen hundred dollars a month. Fourteen 1345 01:02:30,040 --> 01:02:32,000 Speaker 1: hundred dollars a month. Do you know that that's more 1346 01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,080 Speaker 1: than what some of the veterans are getting With the child, 1347 01:02:34,400 --> 01:02:37,200 Speaker 1: they're getting more money than veterans who served in the military. 1348 01:02:37,400 --> 01:02:41,120 Speaker 1: Not only that, they getting free food, steps, free childcare, 1349 01:02:41,680 --> 01:02:45,880 Speaker 1: and permanent housing. Although New York City has a black 1350 01:02:45,920 --> 01:02:49,000 Speaker 1: homelessness rate no less than thirty five percent. So you 1351 01:02:49,080 --> 01:02:52,240 Speaker 1: got black people who pay taxes living on the street, 1352 01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:55,000 Speaker 1: and you got migrants who ain't paid a single tax 1353 01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:58,360 Speaker 1: in their life, eating and living better than the black 1354 01:02:58,400 --> 01:03:00,840 Speaker 1: people who built the country. If I was talking to 1355 01:03:00,920 --> 01:03:03,520 Speaker 1: Eric Adams and Brandon Johnson of Chicago, I would ask 1356 01:03:03,560 --> 01:03:05,960 Speaker 1: them something, what are the Democrats? What is the Democratic 1357 01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,720 Speaker 1: Party giving you guys that you're willing to sacrifice your 1358 01:03:08,760 --> 01:03:12,320 Speaker 1: political future to push this migrant agenda because I don't 1359 01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,760 Speaker 1: see how they get reelected by black folks. I don't 1360 01:03:14,800 --> 01:03:16,880 Speaker 1: see how. And if your city goes to the migrants, 1361 01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:18,919 Speaker 1: you could best believe the migrants ain't elected a black 1362 01:03:18,920 --> 01:03:22,000 Speaker 1: person to mayorship. So you're literally dying on your sword 1363 01:03:22,160 --> 01:03:24,640 Speaker 1: for the Democratic Party. Do you know that New York 1364 01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:28,160 Speaker 1: City has spent one and a half billion dollars on 1365 01:03:28,240 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 1: the migrant crisis so far. It's projected that this year 1366 01:03:32,240 --> 01:03:34,120 Speaker 1: so twenty twenty three was one and a half billion 1367 01:03:34,160 --> 01:03:35,840 Speaker 1: dollars to take care of Mike one and a half 1368 01:03:35,920 --> 01:03:38,880 Speaker 1: billion twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five, they said 1369 01:03:38,880 --> 01:03:42,320 Speaker 1: it will cost New York City nine billion. Chicago has 1370 01:03:42,360 --> 01:03:45,560 Speaker 1: spent about three hundred and fifty million dollars this year 1371 01:03:45,760 --> 01:03:48,520 Speaker 1: on the migrant crisis, and that's expected the quadruple. And 1372 01:03:48,560 --> 01:03:51,280 Speaker 1: you know what was so disrespectful about Chicago with regard 1373 01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:53,960 Speaker 1: to Brandon Johnson. Remember all them schools they shut down 1374 01:03:54,000 --> 01:03:56,880 Speaker 1: in Chicago because they said they couldn't afford to operate them. 1375 01:03:57,000 --> 01:03:59,400 Speaker 1: They opened them up. Not only did they open them up, 1376 01:03:59,480 --> 01:04:03,960 Speaker 1: they rented, they renovated them, turned them into apartments for migrants. 1377 01:04:04,000 --> 01:04:07,240 Speaker 1: So you sleep upstairs, go to school downstairs. How is 1378 01:04:07,240 --> 01:04:09,320 Speaker 1: it that you ain't got money for jobs for black people, 1379 01:04:09,600 --> 01:04:11,440 Speaker 1: which is a big reason why you got so much crime. 1380 01:04:11,720 --> 01:04:14,120 Speaker 1: You got all these homeless black people in Chicago. But 1381 01:04:14,160 --> 01:04:16,120 Speaker 1: you can take care of the migrants before you take 1382 01:04:16,160 --> 01:04:18,840 Speaker 1: care of black people. And that's why I'm hoping that 1383 01:04:18,880 --> 01:04:22,120 Speaker 1: Black Chicago organizes just like co founder of the Black 1384 01:04:22,120 --> 01:04:25,720 Speaker 1: Panther Party Bobby Seal did at the nineteen sixty eight 1385 01:04:25,920 --> 01:04:29,440 Speaker 1: Democratic National Convention in Chicago. Bobby Seal turned up and 1386 01:04:29,480 --> 01:04:32,320 Speaker 1: turned it out with the Black Panthers. I hope Chicago 1387 01:04:32,600 --> 01:04:36,240 Speaker 1: doesn't let President Biden and Vice President Harris come there, 1388 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:39,120 Speaker 1: because you know, the Democratic National Convention is in Chicago 1389 01:04:39,640 --> 01:04:43,560 Speaker 1: August nineteenth through August to twenty. First, I hope Black 1390 01:04:43,640 --> 01:04:47,000 Speaker 1: Chicago don't let the Democrats come to your city where 1391 01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:49,440 Speaker 1: they have bred this migrant crisis and y'all don't do 1392 01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:51,240 Speaker 1: nothing about it. And I'm gonna tell you else these 1393 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,280 Speaker 1: to stand up and show out Milwaukee even though they 1394 01:04:54,320 --> 01:04:56,520 Speaker 1: don't have a migrant crisis like Chicago and New York. 1395 01:04:56,680 --> 01:05:00,000 Speaker 1: The Republican Convention is in Milwaukee next Monday. This's coming Monday. 1396 01:05:00,200 --> 01:05:03,680 Speaker 1: And guess what, Milwaukee black people are the largest ethnic group. 1397 01:05:04,080 --> 01:05:08,480 Speaker 1: Unlike Chicago is white hispanic black, Milwaukee is black, white Hispanic. 1398 01:05:08,720 --> 01:05:11,120 Speaker 1: But guess what, Milwaukee has one of the worst Black 1399 01:05:11,160 --> 01:05:13,880 Speaker 1: male graduation rates in America. So I'm hoping that Black 1400 01:05:13,920 --> 01:05:17,680 Speaker 1: Wisconsin goes to that Republican National Convention and exercise their 1401 01:05:17,720 --> 01:05:20,960 Speaker 1: First Amendment rights to peacefully assemble in protests. But don't 1402 01:05:21,040 --> 01:05:23,560 Speaker 1: let them come to your city after causing all these 1403 01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:27,520 Speaker 1: problems and let them leave without them hearing from you. 1404 01:05:27,680 --> 01:05:30,720 Speaker 1: They are replacing US America. If they can do it, 1405 01:05:30,720 --> 01:05:33,840 Speaker 1: They're gonna purge black people with brown Why do you 1406 01:05:33,880 --> 01:05:36,280 Speaker 1: think the New York regents. Did you see that They 1407 01:05:36,320 --> 01:05:39,520 Speaker 1: said they're gonna stop requiring the regents examination to get 1408 01:05:39,560 --> 01:05:42,280 Speaker 1: your high school diploma in New York? Is it that convenient? 1409 01:05:42,720 --> 01:05:44,560 Speaker 1: All of a sudden, we get a migrant crisis in 1410 01:05:44,600 --> 01:05:47,000 Speaker 1: New York and now you don't have to pass through 1411 01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:49,360 Speaker 1: regions no more. You know why, because we got to 1412 01:05:49,360 --> 01:05:51,320 Speaker 1: make sure the migrants take all the jobs from black folks. 1413 01:05:51,600 --> 01:05:54,040 Speaker 1: They're already taking over the social services. They dominated the 1414 01:05:54,080 --> 01:05:56,120 Speaker 1: social services. And you black and hungry and need some 1415 01:05:56,120 --> 01:05:59,080 Speaker 1: food too late. The migrants got it. Same thing in Chicago. 1416 01:05:59,280 --> 01:06:01,160 Speaker 1: You black and hungry, we need some food, needed job, 1417 01:06:01,280 --> 01:06:03,960 Speaker 1: the migrants got it. I'm trying to understand how Eric 1418 01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:06,480 Speaker 1: Adams and Brandon Johnson can hand out all these work 1419 01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:09,000 Speaker 1: permits when you got all these unemployed black men, half 1420 01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:11,160 Speaker 1: of black men in New York unemployed, half of black 1421 01:06:11,160 --> 01:06:14,000 Speaker 1: men in Chicago unemployed, but you got migrants getting jobs. 1422 01:06:14,080 --> 01:06:16,720 Speaker 1: You're holding job fairs for migrants, you're giving out a 1423 01:06:16,960 --> 01:06:19,240 Speaker 1: job passes for migrants. And you know, because of the 1424 01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,200 Speaker 1: election fraud, if you got a work permit, it ain't 1425 01:06:21,200 --> 01:06:23,480 Speaker 1: that hard to get a voting registration permit. But I 1426 01:06:23,480 --> 01:06:25,760 Speaker 1: got a question for Eric Adams did y'all see He 1427 01:06:25,840 --> 01:06:29,040 Speaker 1: said that he was thinking about staffing the pools during 1428 01:06:29,040 --> 01:06:33,560 Speaker 1: the summer with migrants because they're good swimmers. Right, forty 1429 01:06:34,280 --> 01:06:37,600 Speaker 1: of black teens fifteen to twenty four that age group 1430 01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:40,600 Speaker 1: are unemployed in New York. Mayor Eric Adams, how you 1431 01:06:40,680 --> 01:06:43,640 Speaker 1: going to give the lifeguard jobs to the migrants when 1432 01:06:43,680 --> 01:06:46,000 Speaker 1: half your black kids ain't got no job. Don't you 1433 01:06:46,080 --> 01:06:48,080 Speaker 1: think you should start with the children that are black 1434 01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:51,200 Speaker 1: people who pay taxes. I really don't understand them too. 1435 01:06:51,520 --> 01:06:52,840 Speaker 1: I do kind of feel sorry for them. 1436 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:54,919 Speaker 3: I don't think like black people can't swim. He's buying 1437 01:06:54,920 --> 01:06:55,840 Speaker 3: into that stereotype. 1438 01:06:58,320 --> 01:07:02,120 Speaker 1: Put some money out there, We're going to swim. But 1439 01:07:02,160 --> 01:07:05,320 Speaker 1: my thing is, I know they know what they're doing 1440 01:07:05,360 --> 01:07:07,880 Speaker 1: isn't good for their political future. The only thing I 1441 01:07:07,880 --> 01:07:10,520 Speaker 1: can think of is they're too afraid to tell the 1442 01:07:10,560 --> 01:07:13,560 Speaker 1: Democratic national machine that I'm not going to go along 1443 01:07:13,600 --> 01:07:16,000 Speaker 1: with this because you know they can destroy them. I 1444 01:07:16,080 --> 01:07:18,880 Speaker 1: really think they're being forced to sacrifice their career in 1445 01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,760 Speaker 1: order to purge their own people from the two largest cities. 1446 01:07:21,840 --> 01:07:23,760 Speaker 2: Now, if people do want to help and donate for 1447 01:07:23,800 --> 01:07:25,720 Speaker 2: your school, of course, can you give them information. 1448 01:07:25,360 --> 01:07:27,800 Speaker 1: About it as absolutely.

This coming Sunday, ten and six. 1488 01:09:30,800 --> 01:09:33,400 Speaker 1: I speak at two three quick points for our parents 1489 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:37,280 Speaker 1: number one. The younger your child is, the less likely 1490 01:09:37,320 --> 01:09:40,680 Speaker 1: you should be getting them evaluated. The younger the child, Charlemagne, 1491 01:09:40,720 --> 01:09:43,920 Speaker 1: the more likely we may misdiagnose. Three years old is 1492 01:09:43,960 --> 01:09:46,880 Speaker 1: too young for autism evaluation. Four years old is too 1493 01:09:46,920 --> 01:09:49,559 Speaker 1: young for EIGHTYHD. Five years old is too young for 1494 01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:53,400 Speaker 1: reading disability. The younger the child, the less items we 1495 01:09:53,479 --> 01:09:56,080 Speaker 1: can ask them anyway because they're so young, so you 1496 01:09:56,120 --> 01:09:58,400 Speaker 1: don't get a good read. I need Black parents to 1497 01:09:58,439 --> 01:10:02,160 Speaker 1: slow down. In my Afro Latino parents, slow down. Stop 1498 01:10:02,200 --> 01:10:05,240 Speaker 1: getting your children evaluated so quickly. The school wants them 1499 01:10:05,320 --> 01:10:08,960 Speaker 1: tested quickly, envying Charlemagne. Why because special LED begins at 1500 01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:11,400 Speaker 1: age three, which means they can start getting the money 1501 01:10:11,439 --> 01:10:14,840 Speaker 1: at age three. Special LED is age three to twenty one. 1502 01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:16,960 Speaker 1: So when your child goes to preschool and they not 1503 01:10:17,040 --> 01:10:19,400 Speaker 1: talking too good and not walking through good, first thing 1504 01:10:19,400 --> 01:10:21,679 Speaker 1: they want to do is get it eval Slow down, 1505 01:10:22,040 --> 01:10:23,560 Speaker 1: give my child a chance to show me what he 1506 01:10:23,600 --> 01:10:25,760 Speaker 1: can do. Because if you go looking for an evaluation, 1507 01:10:25,840 --> 01:10:27,960 Speaker 1: you're going to get a diagnosis, because that's how they 1508 01:10:28,000 --> 01:10:31,280 Speaker 1: get paid by giving out the diagnosis. Notori's big said, 1509 01:10:31,280 --> 01:10:33,280 Speaker 1: what more money more problems? Well, in the world of 1510 01:10:33,280 --> 01:10:36,120 Speaker 1: mental health, more problems more money, so slow down on 1511 01:10:36,160 --> 01:10:39,920 Speaker 1: the eval Number two, do not get your child evaluated 1512 01:10:39,960 --> 01:10:44,960 Speaker 1: for ADHD, conduct disorder, odd emotional disturbance, or intermittent explosive disorder. 1513 01:10:44,960 --> 01:10:47,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna say it again, if you're black, do not 1514 01:10:47,560 --> 01:10:52,000 Speaker 1: get your child evaluated for ADHD, conduct disorder, emotional disturbance, 1515 01:10:52,200 --> 01:10:55,920 Speaker 1: intermittent explosive disorder because it only leads to what medication. 1516 01:10:56,280 --> 01:10:59,120 Speaker 1: America has no answer for a black or Afro Latino 1517 01:10:59,240 --> 01:11:01,320 Speaker 1: kid die. You know, with one of them syndromes, They're 1518 01:11:01,360 --> 01:11:04,240 Speaker 1: going to put them on drugs. And if you decide 1519 01:11:04,360 --> 01:11:08,320 Speaker 1: to discontinue the medication, child protective services will be called 1520 01:11:08,439 --> 01:11:11,519 Speaker 1: and they will confiscate your children. It's called medical neglect 1521 01:11:11,600 --> 01:11:13,720 Speaker 1: and it's one of the fastest reasons Black parents are 1522 01:11:13,760 --> 01:11:17,519 Speaker 1: losing their children to a foster care. If you don't 1523 01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:19,960 Speaker 1: plan to drug them up, and you shouldn't want to anyway, 1524 01:11:20,400 --> 01:11:24,200 Speaker 1: do not get him evaluated. If you think they too hyper. 1525 01:11:24,400 --> 01:11:26,679 Speaker 1: Go to the health store. There's all kind of herbal 1526 01:11:26,680 --> 01:11:28,960 Speaker 1: concoctions you could put under the tongue. There's a product 1527 01:11:29,000 --> 01:11:31,639 Speaker 1: called Calm Child. There's a product called b Colm. There's 1528 01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:34,240 Speaker 1: a product called Melissa Supreme where they take herbs that 1529 01:11:34,360 --> 01:11:37,040 Speaker 1: calm down the central nervous system. But guess what, the 1530 01:11:37,120 --> 01:11:40,000 Speaker 1: herbs are not even gonna work if he's a regular, normal, 1531 01:11:40,200 --> 01:11:43,160 Speaker 1: healthy boy and you're not giving him enough opportunity to 1532 01:11:43,200 --> 01:11:46,280 Speaker 1: release his natural testosterone. A big problem with all of 1533 01:11:46,320 --> 01:11:48,720 Speaker 1: this is boys need to move around. In fact, the 1534 01:11:48,800 --> 01:11:52,639 Speaker 1: research even shows boys learn better envying Charlotte Mane when 1535 01:11:52,680 --> 01:11:55,120 Speaker 1: they move. So why they still sitting still for eight 1536 01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:58,840 Speaker 1: hours when the research said, the neuroscience says boys learn 1537 01:11:58,880 --> 01:12:02,360 Speaker 1: better when they move because the teachers the Caucasian nation, 1538 01:12:02,479 --> 01:12:04,120 Speaker 1: the teachers that run to school, they don't want to 1539 01:12:04,160 --> 01:12:05,800 Speaker 1: move them. They want to sit in that chair because 1540 01:12:05,800 --> 01:12:07,880 Speaker 1: it makes their job easier. So a lot of times 1541 01:12:07,880 --> 01:12:10,120 Speaker 1: this is not an ADHD problem. It's a ain't no 1542 01:12:10,200 --> 01:12:12,960 Speaker 1: daddy at home disorder problem. It's an artificial diet and 1543 01:12:13,040 --> 01:12:16,519 Speaker 1: home disorder problem. Okay, it is a eight. It's an 1544 01:12:16,560 --> 01:12:20,320 Speaker 1: attachment disruption due to home life dysfunction problem as well. 1545 01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:24,519 Speaker 1: That's number two third in my final one. If you 1546 01:12:24,560 --> 01:12:28,160 Speaker 1: don't understand the paperwork called me, parents are signing off 1547 01:12:28,160 --> 01:12:31,360 Speaker 1: on evaluations they didn't read. They signing off on diagnosis 1548 01:12:31,400 --> 01:12:33,240 Speaker 1: they don't agree with. If you don't think your child 1549 01:12:33,280 --> 01:12:35,400 Speaker 1: is retired, why did you sign If you don't think 1550 01:12:35,400 --> 01:12:38,280 Speaker 1: they need special let? Why did you sign? Stop signing 1551 01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:41,519 Speaker 1: paperwork you don't agree with and you don't understand. That's 1552 01:12:41,560 --> 01:12:43,960 Speaker 1: what doctor Umar said. I will make time to look 1553 01:12:43,960 --> 01:12:46,479 Speaker 1: at your paperwork. Stop signing because they signing our kids 1554 01:12:46,560 --> 01:12:49,000 Speaker 1: away into full time special leg and they don't even 1555 01:12:49,040 --> 01:12:51,400 Speaker 1: realize it. And you got to go to these IEP meetings. 1556 01:12:51,439 --> 01:12:53,080 Speaker 1: If you're going to put your child in special let 1557 01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:55,760 Speaker 1: take care of your child. I got black parents put 1558 01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:57,680 Speaker 1: their kids in special LED, White ones too, but I'm 1559 01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:00,000 Speaker 1: talking about our community. Put they kids in special lets 1560 01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:02,040 Speaker 1: and never go to an IEP meeting for twelve years. 1561 01:13:02,160 --> 01:13:03,920 Speaker 1: Now he's about to graduate, Charla Man, guess what he 1562 01:13:03,960 --> 01:13:06,360 Speaker 1: can't read? And now you're upset at the school district. 1563 01:13:06,479 --> 01:13:08,840 Speaker 1: He can't read how many IEP meetings you went to 1564 01:13:09,040 --> 01:13:10,559 Speaker 1: since you put him in special let. First of all, 1565 01:13:10,560 --> 01:13:12,280 Speaker 1: he should have never been in special LED in the 1566 01:13:12,320 --> 01:13:14,680 Speaker 1: first grade because he's too young for special LED. But 1567 01:13:14,720 --> 01:13:16,160 Speaker 1: if you're going to do it, at least look out 1568 01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:18,280 Speaker 1: for the child. We got to do a better job 1569 01:13:18,479 --> 01:13:21,719 Speaker 1: of protecting our kids from the special education to prison pipeline. 1570 01:13:21,720 --> 01:13:23,479 Speaker 1: Because when I go speak speak in these jails, and 1571 01:13:23,560 --> 01:13:26,040 Speaker 1: I speak regularly in the prisons. Always asks it. It makes 1572 01:13:26,080 --> 01:13:27,680 Speaker 1: the raise your hand. How many of you was in 1573 01:13:27,760 --> 01:13:30,960 Speaker 1: special LED? Damn that every hand go up black, white, brown, 1574 01:13:31,040 --> 01:13:33,400 Speaker 1: yellow and white. Every hand goes up just about you 1575 01:13:33,400 --> 01:13:36,160 Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. Special LED causes more problems than 1576 01:13:36,160 --> 01:13:38,240 Speaker 1: it solved. Most of our kids just need a tutor 1577 01:13:38,400 --> 01:13:40,960 Speaker 1: to that point. How many of our kids are reading books? 1578 01:13:40,960 --> 01:13:42,760 Speaker 1: This summer? Honey? Of our kids are going to the 1579 01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:45,040 Speaker 1: black bookstores? This summer honey of our kids are being 1580 01:13:45,080 --> 01:13:47,080 Speaker 1: taken to the public library to smer to read something. 1581 01:13:47,479 --> 01:13:49,080 Speaker 1: Most of them are not. They own this right here. 1582 01:13:49,360 --> 01:13:52,760 Speaker 1: This is destroying academic excellence in the black community. This 1583 01:13:53,040 --> 01:13:55,240 Speaker 1: and for my black fathers out there. I know you're 1584 01:13:55,280 --> 01:13:57,080 Speaker 1: someone want to be a basketball player. I know you 1585 01:13:57,120 --> 01:13:58,840 Speaker 1: wanted to be a football player. But if he can't 1586 01:13:58,880 --> 01:14:00,719 Speaker 1: read on grade level, what is he on an aau? 1587 01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:02,559 Speaker 1: If he can't count on great level, what is he 1588 01:14:02,600 --> 01:14:04,800 Speaker 1: doing in the summer league? You you mean you care 1589 01:14:04,840 --> 01:14:06,560 Speaker 1: more about your son being a good football player, the 1590 01:14:06,600 --> 01:14:09,840 Speaker 1: basketball player, than in the productive adult. Half the black 1591 01:14:09,880 --> 01:14:12,360 Speaker 1: boys in America in fourth grade can't read on the 1592 01:14:12,439 --> 01:14:14,400 Speaker 1: gray level. Half the Black boys in America in the 1593 01:14:14,439 --> 01:14:16,439 Speaker 1: eighth grade can't count on their gray level, but yet 1594 01:14:16,479 --> 01:14:18,840 Speaker 1: we pushing football. This should be no video game in 1595 01:14:18,880 --> 01:14:20,800 Speaker 1: your house, no cell phone in your house, and nobody 1596 01:14:20,840 --> 01:14:22,800 Speaker 1: should be in no summer league if they can't read 1597 01:14:22,840 --> 01:14:24,760 Speaker 1: and count on gray level. We got to get back 1598 01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:25,880 Speaker 1: to black excellence. 1599 01:14:25,920 --> 01:14:28,720 Speaker 2: There you have it, doctor umar Umar Johnson, appreciate you 1600 01:14:28,760 --> 01:14:31,599 Speaker 2: for joining us.
