WEBVTT - Pretends to be Shocked 0:00:07.200 --> 0:00:12.719 That little boy got off, didn't he not guilty? Mm hmm, 0:00:14.560 --> 0:00:20.200 what a shocker? Ho politicks, y'all. It's so little right now, 0:00:21.920 --> 0:00:30.120 little politics, y'all. So look, there are a number of 0:00:30.200 --> 0:00:36.240 great African American proverbs handed down to us by our griots, 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.000 one of which is, oh hell no, you got me 0:00:40.120 --> 0:00:42.640 fucked up. That's one of them. But that's not what 0:00:42.720 --> 0:00:44.080 I want to talk about. The one I want to 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:49.480 talk about today is the deep sigh is a part 0:00:49.520 --> 0:00:54.960 of the proverb. So I started over for you. We 0:00:55.120 --> 0:01:01.080 tried to tell you. We tried to tell you. I 0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:06.800 know I did, because I know how white this worked, 0:01:08.200 --> 0:01:11.440 and I understand our justice system. So I'm referring to 0:01:12.560 --> 0:01:17.240 your little young shooter, Kyle Rittenhouse, who um ain't not guilty, 0:01:17.520 --> 0:01:20.000 And you know what what you want me to say? 0:01:20.400 --> 0:01:23.920 The boy got off, he got off. You know it's 0:01:24.080 --> 0:01:27.840 this little, a little crying session, you know what I'm 0:01:27.840 --> 0:01:31.440 saying a little, a little self defense. You feel me 0:01:31.640 --> 0:01:35.959 like that mug worked. And I've been trying to tell y'all, 0:01:36.760 --> 0:01:42.520 of course it's gonna work because he knows something that 0:01:42.560 --> 0:01:45.880 I've been trying to tell y'all is they ain't gonna 0:01:45.880 --> 0:01:49.400 do ship this like y'all ain't gonna do it, ain't 0:01:49.400 --> 0:01:53.760 nothing gonna happen to it. And y'all know the victims 0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:56.400 was white people, right like. And it's funny. I don't 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.360 don't hear y'all worried about no white on white crime, 0:01:59.640 --> 0:02:01.760 you know, saying you know how silly that sound? Now 0:02:02.000 --> 0:02:03.840 when you talk about black on black you see how 0:02:03.920 --> 0:02:09.440 silly it sound. He he murdered two white people. And 0:02:09.520 --> 0:02:11.440 I see his supporters that are always doing about the 0:02:11.480 --> 0:02:13.840 What about the crime in Chicago? Why aren't you worried 0:02:13.880 --> 0:02:17.320 about young Dolph? Like, why don't you worried about white 0:02:17.320 --> 0:02:22.600 all white crime? Then it is. I say this so 0:02:22.639 --> 0:02:26.080 many times because I feel like y'all ain't appreciating, And 0:02:26.200 --> 0:02:29.160 I hope this little not guilty verdict helps you appreciate 0:02:29.200 --> 0:02:33.600 what I'm trying to tell you. People broke into the 0:02:33.639 --> 0:02:43.679 Capitol building, set on elected officials desks with guns and 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:52.760 and zip ties and moose heads and foods, just went 0:02:52.840 --> 0:02:56.720 home and went back to work like y'all not gonna 0:02:56.800 --> 0:03:00.440 do shit. And this is what I'm trying to That 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:03.120 little boy turned them tears all. That was some of 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:07.480 the most hilariously we all that. That was hilarious. I listen, 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:12.240 I very rarely cry about people's pain. And I say 0:03:12.320 --> 0:03:15.320 rarely because sometimes I do. I'm sorry, I ain't all 0:03:15.320 --> 0:03:20.320 the ways saved. That's that's another black another Black proverb. 0:03:21.120 --> 0:03:23.440 I ain't all always save. Lords still working on me. 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:28.040 That's a terrible thing to say. But that little boy 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:30.600 got on that stand and tried to squeeze out some tears, 0:03:32.800 --> 0:03:35.320 and I'm looking at it and I'm like, this is 0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:38.080 gonna work just like last week. I tell you some 0:03:38.120 --> 0:03:40.560 of these people and it's in this feeling froggy episode, 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:46.119 they're gonna be able to actually get off in defending 0:03:46.160 --> 0:04:02.720 themselves because that's just that's just how it works. Now. 0:04:02.920 --> 0:04:07.960 For this episode, it was very easy for me to 0:04:08.000 --> 0:04:12.000 turn this into just a venting session and just sort 0:04:12.040 --> 0:04:16.320 of like see see see, and just kind of work 0:04:16.400 --> 0:04:21.680 myself into a frenzy um. But I'm saving that for 0:04:21.720 --> 0:04:27.240 the group text this situation. Listen, I want to make 0:04:28.600 --> 0:04:31.240 a couple of cases for us and also want to 0:04:31.240 --> 0:04:37.680 put in perspective what could be going on in carts 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.640 and minds is uh, some of the black people you 0:04:40.680 --> 0:04:44.080 may know, because it's it's what we keep trying to 0:04:44.080 --> 0:04:47.120 tell you white supremacy is not necessarily just about the color. 0:04:47.680 --> 0:04:52.600 It's a system. It's not white people as much as 0:04:52.600 --> 0:04:57.599 it's whiteness. In this case is like this is well, 0:04:57.839 --> 0:05:02.680 this is what we're trying to say it it's a 0:05:02.760 --> 0:05:06.360 structure of power. Is you do you understand what we're 0:05:06.360 --> 0:05:13.120 trying to say, Like it protects itself. And I don't 0:05:13.120 --> 0:05:31.119 know if y'all getting it. Here's the thing. One would 0:05:31.120 --> 0:05:35.520 think that after hundreds of years and thousands of examples, 0:05:36.480 --> 0:05:40.919 thousands of cases, that something like this situation wouldn't be 0:05:40.960 --> 0:05:45.200 so shocking. In case you don't know, in Kenosha, Wisconsin, 0:05:45.320 --> 0:05:47.440 last year at this young little seventeen year old boy 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:52.680 had his mama follow me drive him down to Kenosha 0:05:52.839 --> 0:05:58.480 where there were some protests happening around the shooting of 0:05:59.320 --> 0:06:01.400 a black man who didn't die, but you know it 0:06:01.440 --> 0:06:03.720 was it was around their shooting. He was going down 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:09.400 there too humongous air quotes, uh, protect businesses and to 0:06:09.720 --> 0:06:12.960 according to him, offer medical aid. So he goes down 0:06:12.960 --> 0:06:19.479 there with his you know, salt semi automatic rifle, this 0:06:19.680 --> 0:06:23.280 big old gun strapped to his little teeny chest and 0:06:25.720 --> 0:06:31.760 went out there and was you know, defending property, and 0:06:32.320 --> 0:06:38.679 in the defense of property shot and killed two guys. Uh, 0:06:38.880 --> 0:06:42.320 and his defense was well self defense. I was down 0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:47.000 there doing good work and these guys attacked me. Whatever. Anyway, 0:06:47.279 --> 0:06:51.960 I don't want to adjudicate the case again. But situation again, 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:57.840 what a shocker. The kid got off not guilty, right, Uh. 0:06:58.839 --> 0:07:02.040 And obviously he's out of cop. This isn't a police officer, 0:07:02.279 --> 0:07:06.840 you know, So when these are officers involved shootings, obviously 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:11.760 there's a there's a particular sort of standard where we 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.360 would think that we would hold a police officer too, 0:07:14.840 --> 0:07:17.080 which you're right, it is not the same standard I 0:07:17.120 --> 0:07:22.960 would hold uh, common citizen too. However, to go out 0:07:22.960 --> 0:07:26.440 of your way to another city to quote unquote defend 0:07:27.960 --> 0:07:32.800 property with your weapon, it's it's I don't want to 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:35.440 adjudicate the case again. The point is a little boy 0:07:35.480 --> 0:07:40.560 got off. Also, as stated before, adding an interesting socio 0:07:40.560 --> 0:07:43.000 cultural wrinkle to this, although it shouldn't be a wrinkle 0:07:43.040 --> 0:07:47.640 at all, is that these aren't dead people of color. 0:07:47.840 --> 0:07:56.920 There dead white people. It's a it's different. It's the same, 0:07:57.000 --> 0:08:01.320 but it's different. It's kind of the No, it's different. 0:08:01.360 --> 0:08:04.000 It's different. Now, my mama, don't listen to the show 0:08:04.160 --> 0:08:07.160 because I cuts too much in it, and I'm still 0:08:07.360 --> 0:08:10.119 still a little embarrassing cussing in front of my mama. 0:08:10.960 --> 0:08:15.960 Were black people? Um, she cuts in front of me though. Anyway, 0:08:21.040 --> 0:08:26.160 my grandma different story. She cutsing it out quick anyway, Um, 0:08:26.320 --> 0:08:28.320 she don't even know the topic. I just went over 0:08:28.360 --> 0:08:30.840 there and I was just talking to her, like, hey, mom, 0:08:31.000 --> 0:08:33.120 now that little white, that little cow he got off 0:08:33.200 --> 0:08:37.600 and she said, she said exactly what I said, Well, 0:08:37.640 --> 0:08:39.800 what a shocker. I'm not surprised. And then she said, 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:41.760 you know what they're doing right now, all them little 0:08:41.840 --> 0:08:45.040 they're out there locking it loading right now, and they 0:08:45.360 --> 0:08:47.079 hit little folks they feel to turn up. That's what 0:08:47.200 --> 0:08:50.040 my mom said, because she goes and because that's what 0:08:50.160 --> 0:08:52.200 this that's what this trial taught him, is like we 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:57.040 all right. So in her own way, she just explained, 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.800 y'all ain't gonna do ship, and what happened when y'all 0:09:00.840 --> 0:09:05.920 don't do ship is fools read it as a green light. 0:09:06.120 --> 0:09:07.720 I don't even have to tell her that that's what 0:09:07.800 --> 0:09:10.720 I'm saying. We tried to tell you. The hood knows. 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.760 My mama knew the topic. I didn't even have to 0:09:13.760 --> 0:09:17.280 explain that she already knew. They don't trying to tell you. 0:09:18.600 --> 0:09:23.240 We already knew. We tried to tell you. If y'all 0:09:23.280 --> 0:09:54.920 don't do ship, it's gonna keep happening. Here's why I say, 0:09:55.080 --> 0:09:58.360 what a shocker. We tried to tell you. It's because 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:03.760 we've seen these aces before. Oftentimes I'm gonna jump subjects here, 0:10:03.800 --> 0:10:08.280 oftentimes black people and maybe abroad, maybe in a broader sense, 0:10:08.320 --> 0:10:12.199 people of color. I can't speak to any specifics for 0:10:12.240 --> 0:10:14.720 them because that's not my situation. I'm only adjacent to that. 0:10:14.760 --> 0:10:19.800 But I know in our community where we're oftentimes juggling 0:10:20.320 --> 0:10:27.120 multiple crises. Right because, just two days ago from the 0:10:27.200 --> 0:10:29.040 day that I'm recording this, which is the day that 0:10:29.720 --> 0:10:33.920 Kyle got his his not guilty verdict, Young Dolf got murdered. 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:38.560 Young Dolph is an artist from Memphis who in a 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:41.400 lot of ways carried that same sort of nipsey hustle 0:10:41.480 --> 0:10:45.240 spirit where he was. He did he never left his hood. 0:10:45.280 --> 0:10:47.520 He did good for his community. He was good out there. 0:10:47.559 --> 0:10:51.120 He by family man, you know, wife, two kids, by 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:53.000 a probably of course, you know, music's ratchet, you know 0:10:53.040 --> 0:10:55.199 what I'm saying, But he ain't no more ratchet than 0:10:55.760 --> 0:10:57.559 you know, any of your country Western singers. You know 0:10:57.559 --> 0:11:00.360 what I'm saying. But I'm not here again to argue 0:11:00.400 --> 0:11:04.600 over whether a man deserved to be murdered because his 0:11:04.800 --> 0:11:07.640 music is ratchet. That's not what we're here to talk about. 0:11:07.640 --> 0:11:09.240 What I am here to talk about is a loss 0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:14.199 of life and that's happening within our own hoods, Things 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:15.920 that we need to take care of, things that we 0:11:16.000 --> 0:11:19.720 are grieving within our own communities, about trying to amongst 0:11:19.760 --> 0:11:24.280 each other be better because we can't whenever somebody starts, um, 0:11:24.320 --> 0:11:27.440 you know, advancing and start thinking different, talking different, moving 0:11:27.520 --> 0:11:31.200 different somehow or another because of our situation. Listen, we 0:11:31.240 --> 0:11:34.240 could talk about the criminal justice system. We could talk 0:11:34.280 --> 0:11:37.920 about capitalism, issues of poverty that pushes people of color 0:11:37.960 --> 0:11:41.360 into these environments who choose that like their only choices. Violence, 0:11:41.760 --> 0:11:45.480 why you know, the psychological effects of poverty and why 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:47.640 gangs become what they are and why you feel like 0:11:47.720 --> 0:11:49.480 that person is your We can talk about all that. 0:11:49.720 --> 0:11:51.880 At the end of the day, a black man murdered 0:11:51.920 --> 0:11:56.040 another black man and it is an absolute tragedy that 0:11:56.120 --> 0:11:59.280 we're still trying to untangle and figure out, and especially 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:01.440 over some raps ship which is what makes it even 0:12:01.480 --> 0:12:03.959 more stupid. I think we're not aware of that, that 0:12:04.040 --> 0:12:09.559 we're not aware of black on black crime. You think 0:12:09.600 --> 0:12:15.880 we don't know if and that it's you can't. This 0:12:15.920 --> 0:12:18.680 is why it's another reason why it's bullshit when you 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:23.120 try to weaponize that phrase because people shoot who close 0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:26.880 to him like this, it's a it's an absurd statistic 0:12:28.559 --> 0:12:32.600 and we know it's disingenuous because exhibit A Kyle Rittenhouse. 0:12:34.320 --> 0:12:40.560 But yes, seeing ourselves shoot each other said is fucking ridiculous. 0:12:41.080 --> 0:12:43.720 We're tired of it all the way back to Tupac 0:12:43.760 --> 0:12:46.680 Biggie jam Master j Bigail. We're tired of this ship 0:12:47.600 --> 0:12:52.360 Nipsey like, we're tired of it. We hate it. This 0:12:52.480 --> 0:12:56.520 all happening at the same time that our brother Julius 0:12:56.600 --> 0:13:01.840 Jones got removed from the death penalty, which is a 0:13:01.880 --> 0:13:05.640 moment of celebration. So you're like, Okay, there's this tragedy 0:13:05.679 --> 0:13:08.959 and then there's this celebration, But then the celebration is 0:13:09.000 --> 0:13:13.520 still kind of weird because he's just getting life in prison. 0:13:14.880 --> 0:13:19.959 When the parole board two times recommended we need to 0:13:20.040 --> 0:13:22.640 let this little boy go. He needs a new trial. 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:25.760 There was mad evidence that was withheld that showed that 0:13:25.760 --> 0:13:29.160 that little boy had a perfect alibi he supposedly committed 0:13:29.160 --> 0:13:34.240 to murder in that. I mean, the little boy wouldn't 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:37.000 even there and he was about to be murdered. So 0:13:38.160 --> 0:13:44.480 it's weird how when you in in our situation, we 0:13:44.600 --> 0:13:47.080 have to celebrate every win we get, and this is 0:13:47.120 --> 0:13:49.720 the bare minimum. That little boy shouldn't be in jail period. 0:13:50.720 --> 0:13:53.000 Little boy he had grown man now forty one years old, 0:13:54.000 --> 0:13:55.800 been in jail since he was seventeen for something he 0:13:55.840 --> 0:13:58.800 didn't even do, or at least they didn't prove he did, 0:14:00.920 --> 0:14:08.040 right you, So there's you're holding those two things. I 0:14:08.080 --> 0:14:12.200 haven't even got to the armad auvery case where that 0:14:12.320 --> 0:14:14.320 defense attorney was like, we don't want to know Black 0:14:14.360 --> 0:14:17.520 Pastor's coming down here. As another side note, I feel 0:14:17.559 --> 0:14:24.560 like black Church has been the conscious of our nation 0:14:24.720 --> 0:14:30.200 for years, maybe the whole time, because demand that was 0:14:30.280 --> 0:14:35.000 outside leading some of the charges. Uh In advocating for 0:14:35.400 --> 0:14:37.840 Julius Jones. There was a black creature out there, tied 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:39.440 himself up the chains. He was like, if you need 0:14:39.440 --> 0:14:42.000 a body, just take mind. You gotta kill somebody, kill me, 0:14:42.320 --> 0:14:44.160 Let that little boy go. Of course, it was an 0:14:44.160 --> 0:14:46.360 act of protest. Of course it's high drama, but that's 0:14:46.360 --> 0:14:49.520 the point of it. We're putting our bodies on the line. 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:54.920 I know people directly, my boy consciously, Miamie jb that 0:14:55.080 --> 0:15:01.000 worked tirelessly, Joshua Duke boys tirelessly on this Julius case. 0:15:02.040 --> 0:15:04.400 I'm so happy for him that that little boy alive, 0:15:04.720 --> 0:15:08.840 a grown man alive, but life in prison for something 0:15:08.840 --> 0:15:12.560 you can eat. He didn't even do it. So you 0:15:12.640 --> 0:15:16.760 got the arm on every case whatever. That man was 0:15:16.840 --> 0:15:20.720 murdered and we saw it. I listened to the testimonium 0:15:20.920 --> 0:15:23.520 of the white boys say, uh, he grabbed my gun 0:15:23.720 --> 0:15:27.720 and I got scared. And I still, honestly don't understand 0:15:27.760 --> 0:15:32.440 that defense because I'm like, uh, I think he felt 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:35.120 when you pulled it on it? Who you think was 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:39.080 really scared? You feel? But that's again, I don't want 0:15:39.080 --> 0:15:40.920 this to be a venting session. I'm trying to set 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.480 up something. These are things we're carrying all the time. 0:15:45.320 --> 0:15:49.240 Right My patron, Saint James Balden was talking about to 0:15:49.320 --> 0:15:52.880 be black in America is to be at a full 0:15:53.040 --> 0:15:56.520 constant rage just right under the surface, you know what 0:15:56.560 --> 0:15:58.520 I'm saying. I guess it's just that's just like right 0:15:58.680 --> 0:16:04.920 under your cool, isn't is a tempest that's just always there. 0:16:05.320 --> 0:16:11.480 You feel me? Uh, My homeboy Kendrick says that niggas 0:16:11.480 --> 0:16:14.160 from l A always just randomly using big words and 0:16:14.160 --> 0:16:19.160 I just did it again. We're just like a tempest anyway. 0:16:19.200 --> 0:16:21.680 This is why we say our music and Black Boy 0:16:21.760 --> 0:16:23.960 Joy and Black Girl Fly and all this stuff is 0:16:24.000 --> 0:16:27.440 like it's part of our protest, because it's part of 0:16:27.440 --> 0:16:32.720 our our rebellion. Because what's hovering under us is this 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:37.720 impending dread and the years and years of receipts of 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:40.520 looking at this Kyle rittenhouse case and going that little 0:16:40.520 --> 0:16:45.280 white boy gonna get off right and and listen, I'm 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:47.440 gonna come back to the thing we tried to tell you. 0:16:47.560 --> 0:16:52.160 He's gonna get away with it. Now this on our case, 0:16:52.320 --> 0:16:55.720 I don't know. I feel like because of like the 0:16:55.720 --> 0:17:02.480 free Barrabbit's joint that uh, they may give us them 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:04.919 and because that judges I'm getting ahead of myself with that. 0:17:04.960 --> 0:17:08.199 Judges are different judges in this one. But uh, I 0:17:08.200 --> 0:17:09.600 don't know if I could call it for that one. 0:17:09.640 --> 0:17:12.280 I think you know, but this this Kyle one, Oh, 0:17:12.320 --> 0:17:14.040 I knew y'all ain't gonna do ship. I didn't told 0:17:14.080 --> 0:17:17.440 y'all this a number of times on this show. Don't 0:17:17.440 --> 0:17:19.879 nothing happen to them? You know that little boy raised 0:17:21.080 --> 0:17:23.800 upwards of a hundred and seventy five thousand, maybe even 0:17:23.800 --> 0:17:26.679 more on a on a go fund me when he 0:17:26.720 --> 0:17:30.640 got into legal troubles. That stay one. That's stay boy. 0:17:31.000 --> 0:17:34.919 That's the boy. Now, let me make a case for 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:38.480 all of us. Uh, I'm gonna make a case first 0:17:38.520 --> 0:17:40.639 to the hood, and then I want every It's like 0:17:40.680 --> 0:17:43.320 so cratic method. I'm talking to the inner circle, but 0:17:43.359 --> 0:17:46.080 I want the rest of us to really listen, especially 0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:48.679 if you're in a position of power or privilege, or 0:17:48.880 --> 0:17:51.280 you have access to things that us and inside of 0:17:51.280 --> 0:17:53.800 this circle and got access to. Let me break it 0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:56.560 down after this break who I did a I did 0:17:56.600 --> 0:18:22.199 a product break check me out? Yeah, all right, yo, 0:18:22.359 --> 0:18:27.720 check it. I'm sorry, I'm chewing rice. It's disgusting. Um, 0:18:27.760 --> 0:18:31.400 I'm coping. I think it's important to remember when you're 0:18:31.400 --> 0:18:34.880 looking at these two particular cases, the Kyle Raynownce case 0:18:35.080 --> 0:18:39.960 and the I'm on Overy case, it's the behavior of 0:18:40.000 --> 0:18:48.439 the judges why I was absolutely convinced that cal Nnownce 0:18:48.480 --> 0:18:52.520 was going to get off was the judge, and all 0:18:52.560 --> 0:18:54.600 the way back to the beginning that the judge wouldn't 0:18:54.680 --> 0:19:02.840 let the two dead men be called victim because it's 0:19:02.880 --> 0:19:07.800 going to sway the jury. So you're telling me the 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:14.280 two dudes that died aren't victims. Remember I told you before. 0:19:15.000 --> 0:19:17.560 Most of the time, when it comes to cases like this, 0:19:18.320 --> 0:19:21.520 the shooter is not on trial, the victim is. Are 0:19:21.560 --> 0:19:25.520 they worthy to be called victims? Even when the victims 0:19:26.320 --> 0:19:35.520 ain't necessarily black or brown, because the power is protecting itself. Basically, 0:19:35.560 --> 0:19:41.800 these these these victims, they they sided with the wrong people. 0:19:41.840 --> 0:19:45.720 They didn't side with power. They sided with the marginalized, 0:19:46.480 --> 0:19:51.800 which I mean, according to the system, the power structure, 0:19:52.200 --> 0:19:55.679 you've become an OP. So I'm gonna treat you like 0:19:55.680 --> 0:19:57.320 a OP. I'm gonna treat you how we treat the ops. 0:19:58.000 --> 0:20:01.240 Because again we're not talking about like people were talking 0:20:01.280 --> 0:20:08.320 about whiteness. Need please understand the difference, Like it's so 0:20:08.359 --> 0:20:10.600 important a lot to look this is a side note, 0:20:10.600 --> 0:20:14.240 but it's very important that you understand this. It's like 0:20:14.800 --> 0:20:20.960 when someone talks about privilege, specifically white privilege, your knee 0:20:21.040 --> 0:20:24.080 jerk reaction is like, well, I'm I come from poverty too, 0:20:24.119 --> 0:20:29.760 And I'm like, Okay, that's classism. Nobody is saying y'all 0:20:29.880 --> 0:20:34.240 ain't came from some struggle. I know some real dirty, 0:20:34.280 --> 0:20:39.560 dirty gutter ratchet as hell white people who came from 0:20:39.640 --> 0:20:45.400 the mud, like more mud than I came from. That's 0:20:45.400 --> 0:20:53.879 not what I'm talking about. We're talking about a system. 0:20:53.960 --> 0:20:55.760 Oh I forgot. We're not allowed to teach this stuff 0:20:55.800 --> 0:21:08.960 because it makes white people feel bad. My bad said, 0:21:09.000 --> 0:21:10.680 I'm not gonna call him there. I'm gonna call them writers. 0:21:10.680 --> 0:21:13.320 I'm gonna call him protesters. I'm gonna call them We're 0:21:13.320 --> 0:21:17.080 gonna call them agitators. But we're not gonna call them victims. 0:21:18.160 --> 0:21:21.399 Hear how that hear how their lives, dignity was stripped 0:21:21.440 --> 0:21:25.679 from them and they already dead. They shouldn't have been 0:21:25.760 --> 0:21:28.240 running with the ops. That's how we treat the ops. 0:21:29.359 --> 0:21:32.600 Ops is in everybody that's not part of this power structure. 0:21:33.000 --> 0:21:37.080 I was like, holy, gonna get off. It is the 0:21:37.240 --> 0:21:40.359 dread of any black or brown person who's been caught 0:21:40.359 --> 0:21:46.040 in the system. Two run into a judge that has 0:21:46.320 --> 0:21:51.919 a complete implicit bias about you. The problem is the 0:21:52.040 --> 0:21:56.879 bias about us is oftentimes against us. What we witnessed 0:21:57.720 --> 0:22:02.320 was an implicit bias, but in the favor of the defendant. 0:22:03.000 --> 0:22:06.720 Y'all ain't see that. Man, how dope would it? Could 0:22:06.760 --> 0:22:08.680 you imagine? I was texting some of the obviously is 0:22:08.920 --> 0:22:10.919 how dope would it be for you to be on trial? 0:22:11.400 --> 0:22:13.720 And the judge you walk in and the judges like 0:22:14.359 --> 0:22:17.159 judges like neighborhood? Like the judge did you know what 0:22:17.160 --> 0:22:19.800 I'm saying? The judge like rapping the block? He looking 0:22:19.840 --> 0:22:21.679 at you like, hey, hommy, when all this is over, man, 0:22:21.720 --> 0:22:23.920 you got come over, Maybe play space, play some dominoes. 0:22:23.920 --> 0:22:25.720 You're good on me, you know what I'm saying. And 0:22:25.800 --> 0:22:28.560 then and then when you start showing some emotion, he like, hey, 0:22:28.640 --> 0:22:30.800 I think everybody should chill. Let them let the young 0:22:30.840 --> 0:22:33.600 homie gets like, how great would it be? You know 0:22:33.640 --> 0:22:36.680 what I'm saying if you walk in now? Instead we 0:22:36.840 --> 0:22:38.840 walk in the judges like pull up your pants, son, 0:22:39.600 --> 0:22:43.080 So what gang are you from? What bad choices are you? Like? Man, 0:22:43.160 --> 0:22:46.160 First of all, we all do gang bang. Number one, 0:22:46.240 --> 0:22:48.080 you know what I'm saying. Number two you don't even 0:22:48.119 --> 0:22:50.960 know me. We ain't even made no case yet, you 0:22:51.040 --> 0:22:55.520 feel me? So we walk in with the opposite bias, 0:22:55.640 --> 0:22:58.240 that Kyle guy. But wouldn't it be nice. Here's the 0:22:58.320 --> 0:23:00.360 thing you want to say, Well, well you know your 0:23:00.400 --> 0:23:04.040 judges are are supposed to be impartial. Well they're humans, 0:23:04.359 --> 0:23:09.000 they're not this we we tried to tell you. It's 0:23:09.320 --> 0:23:15.000 the system, the whole thing. So number one, the judge 0:23:15.040 --> 0:23:17.199 was like, you can't call them victims. I was like, oh, 0:23:17.280 --> 0:23:19.320 this case over that little boy. They have a little 0:23:19.320 --> 0:23:22.160 boyfriend to get off. Then he did the little water 0:23:22.280 --> 0:23:26.040 works and then his mama cried, and then they was like, 0:23:26.400 --> 0:23:28.280 I think we need to take a little break. And 0:23:28.400 --> 0:23:32.280 then man's is on his phone and it's funny watching 0:23:32.359 --> 0:23:36.000 like lawyer. If you know lawyers, like if you're friends 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:38.280 with any at how weird it reflects that is, or 0:23:38.280 --> 0:23:41.600 if you follow any on any social media. They're not 0:23:41.680 --> 0:23:44.760 surprised at all by this man. They like, listen, this 0:23:44.920 --> 0:23:47.920 is how it is, yo, yo, yo. Judge is a 0:23:48.040 --> 0:23:52.160 luck of a draw. That man got seventy two cases 0:23:52.280 --> 0:23:55.760 after this. That lady got nine and nine other cases 0:23:55.920 --> 0:24:00.960 after this. That lady, that man is a person. They 0:24:01.080 --> 0:24:04.320 live in a city. They got opinions. I don't know 0:24:04.440 --> 0:24:07.840 why y'all think. Of course they do This is what 0:24:08.000 --> 0:24:10.840 we mean by like, yo, the case was stacked against us. 0:24:10.880 --> 0:24:13.880 We got an implicit bias. The justice system wasn't fair 0:24:14.160 --> 0:24:18.520 because the judge already decided, you're gonna look at that 0:24:18.600 --> 0:24:20.760 car rid Now's case. I think that judge the already 0:24:20.800 --> 0:24:26.080 know was he not stacking them cards in that boy favor? 0:24:28.800 --> 0:24:38.200 Just it was televised, we saw it. That man. That 0:24:38.359 --> 0:24:40.960 man said, hey, pick a name out of hat. You 0:24:41.080 --> 0:24:46.280 want to choose which one of these jurors stays that 0:24:46.480 --> 0:24:51.200 the defendant like, are y'all y'all homies? Like y'all really homies? 0:24:53.440 --> 0:25:02.960 So here's my case. District judges they elected, well indirectly, 0:25:03.119 --> 0:25:07.760 let me let me impact this. Uh, District judges are appointed, 0:25:08.119 --> 0:25:12.119 but they're appointed by it's pretty convoluted, but they're appointed 0:25:12.200 --> 0:25:18.800 by our elected officials. So ultimately they're elected. But the 0:25:18.880 --> 0:25:22.520 way that the separation of powers is set up, we're 0:25:22.600 --> 0:25:27.520 not supposed to directly, they're not supposed to um campaign boom. 0:25:28.760 --> 0:25:31.840 But the people that put them in place are the 0:25:31.880 --> 0:25:34.720 ones that are campaigning, and we get to choose that. 0:25:36.400 --> 0:25:38.639 So we gotta pay attention to our ballots, especially our 0:25:38.680 --> 0:25:40.440 local ones. Remember I told you to think about Mitch. 0:25:40.640 --> 0:25:44.680 The game Mitch was playing had a man's man's put 0:25:44.760 --> 0:25:53.280 too Hondo judges on benches, on lower benches all over 0:25:53.359 --> 0:25:57.400 the country. Now, I don't know who elected this man. 0:25:58.400 --> 0:26:03.600 I ain't do that much homework, but I tell you what, 0:26:05.080 --> 0:26:11.560 somebody we elected appointed that person, and look where it 0:26:11.640 --> 0:26:14.880 got us. That's what I'm saying. I'm gonna make that case. 0:26:14.960 --> 0:26:23.520 So yo, the voting of yet your local, your your 0:26:24.080 --> 0:26:28.240 your Congress, it this way, it plays out. It plays 0:26:28.280 --> 0:26:31.119 out there, not just on the things you see on 0:26:31.160 --> 0:26:35.280 the news, plays out there. Does that you follow me? 0:26:37.080 --> 0:26:42.119 District attorneys, they're elected. What this means to me is 0:26:42.160 --> 0:26:44.600 in your legal case or not in your legal cases 0:26:44.720 --> 0:26:47.840 and your when your ballots come, when your local balants come, 0:26:48.560 --> 0:26:53.159 I'm asking you to do a little more homework on 0:26:53.480 --> 0:26:59.080 who is being elected to those to that bench, to 0:26:59.200 --> 0:27:02.520 the school board. What this means to me is in 0:27:02.640 --> 0:27:05.160 your legal case or not in your legal cases when 0:27:05.200 --> 0:27:09.240 your ballots come, when your local balance come, I'm asking 0:27:09.320 --> 0:27:14.359 you to do a little more homework on who is 0:27:14.600 --> 0:27:20.080 being elected to those to that bench, to these school boards, 0:27:21.400 --> 0:27:30.000 to these district offices. We have a say that that 0:27:30.160 --> 0:27:34.920 type of implicit bias shouldn't exist somebody that can sway 0:27:34.960 --> 0:27:36.520 a case like that. You think that man ain't sway 0:27:36.600 --> 0:27:40.480 that case. So here, So so here's what I'm saying. 0:27:40.920 --> 0:27:42.600 We need to pay more attention to that. Now, let 0:27:42.680 --> 0:27:45.240 me push you even further. Some of you young shooters 0:27:46.359 --> 0:27:50.240 who are activists now out here getting radicalized by cools 0:27:50.320 --> 0:27:53.720 on media. Let me ask you this, Hey, what's we're 0:27:53.720 --> 0:27:56.680 going to law school though? What if you got on 0:27:56.800 --> 0:28:01.720 that bench? What if that was your way of advocating. Now, 0:28:02.000 --> 0:28:03.920 if you listen to the episode me and Robert Evans 0:28:03.960 --> 0:28:06.159 I talked about, I understand how problematic that is. Like, 0:28:06.320 --> 0:28:08.280 I'm why would I jump into a seeking ship that 0:28:08.320 --> 0:28:12.119 I already know sucks? Right, I'm saying, but in the meantime, 0:28:12.680 --> 0:28:16.560 niggas is still on trial, murders are still getting off. 0:28:20.440 --> 0:28:23.840 It's in the meantime before we could tear it all down, 0:28:23.960 --> 0:28:26.320 burn it all down. I mean, in the meantime, some 0:28:26.480 --> 0:28:31.080 of us got court cases. It'd be really dope to pull, 0:28:31.880 --> 0:28:35.959 you know what I'm saying, Jannicia Jackson as my judge. 0:28:36.600 --> 0:28:41.000 It'd be dope to pull Juan Carlo Perez as my judge. 0:28:41.040 --> 0:28:43.680 Because I'm gonna look at Wan Carlo Wan Carlo like 0:28:43.800 --> 0:28:46.320 oschool On from East Low's, I understand the nuances. Now 0:28:46.400 --> 0:28:48.920
