WEBVTT - FEAR THE CLAP BACK 0:00:01.080 --> 0:00:03.880 Yo, y'all remember this bar dog I think it was 0:00:04.160 --> 0:00:08.560 Danks was eleven years ago seeing a light skin good 0:00:08.560 --> 0:00:12.160 with his brains blown out at the same liquor store 0:00:12.200 --> 0:00:15.640 that hangs out. Now, this is not a tape recorder 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:18.840 saying daddy did it, But every since that day I 0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:22.280 was looking at it different that what we've done. Anyway, 0:00:22.320 --> 0:00:27.240 that's an old school Kendrick bar. But it expresses how 0:00:28.400 --> 0:00:31.320 the hood got secrets, and they often are the worst 0:00:31.360 --> 0:00:34.479 kept secrets, like we all know. So I don't nobody 0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:42.680 saying nothing. Well, it's the fear of the clapback Hood politics, y'all, 0:00:44.880 --> 0:00:52.960 little politics, y'all, What up? What up? What up? Welcome 0:00:53.000 --> 0:00:56.480 back to another episode of Her Politics where we go 0:00:56.640 --> 0:00:59.520 through some sort of hot take or issue happening in 0:00:59.520 --> 0:01:04.440 our politics, go sphered local and GEO and try to 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:07.080 help you get your brain around it. So y'all know, 0:01:07.120 --> 0:01:10.280 President Biden stood up and said, I'm gonna acknowledge the 0:01:10.400 --> 0:01:13.640 Armenian genocide. And then it was really a big deal 0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.160 because I know Surge from the system of a Down 0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:20.920 was on the news, and if you anywhere around fifteen 0:01:20.959 --> 0:01:25.120 year radius of my age, then if Surge says something 0:01:26.080 --> 0:01:29.360 it's law because Surge could do no wrong. System of 0:01:29.360 --> 0:01:30.880 a down can do no wrong. I don't care what 0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:34.639 nobody say. He got up and acknowledged it, and Surge 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:36.320 was like, yeah, I'm really happy. I hope this is 0:01:36.360 --> 0:01:39.039 the beginning of some healing. But maybe you asked the 0:01:39.040 --> 0:01:41.600 same question I asked where I was like, why is 0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.160 this a big deal? We all knew what happened. I 0:01:44.160 --> 0:01:52.280 want to talk today about the Armenian genocide. Let me 0:01:52.320 --> 0:01:55.240 help you understand what's going on in here. There's an 0:01:55.240 --> 0:02:00.000 importance in inner city living that pretending has Pretending is necessary. 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:03.480 Pretending like we don't know what happened, And a lot 0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.960 of that has to do with our just long standing 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:11.240 understanding of just kind of minding your own business, and 0:02:11.520 --> 0:02:16.720 minding your own business is a safety precaution, it's self preservation. 0:02:16.919 --> 0:02:20.880 Oftentimes you hear some drama happening next door or or 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.040 down the street, or some rivalhoods, or somebody got beef 0:02:24.040 --> 0:02:26.320 with somebody. Your best bet is to just stay out 0:02:26.360 --> 0:02:28.200 of it, because you're not trying to catch no strays. 0:02:28.520 --> 0:02:31.640 You don't want to inherit somebody else's beef. You know, 0:02:31.720 --> 0:02:35.000 you being a club, somebody recognized you as being affiliated 0:02:35.040 --> 0:02:36.359 with this for all of a sudden, Now you're in 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.640 some static like sometimes, man, look, I ain't signed up 0:02:38.639 --> 0:02:40.480 for all that. That's you on your own, homie. I'm 0:02:40.480 --> 0:02:42.560 going a slide, you know. So there's a lot of 0:02:43.240 --> 0:02:45.520 staying out of it that kind of happened, and it's 0:02:45.520 --> 0:02:47.960 staying out of it, like I said, as a calculation, 0:02:48.000 --> 0:02:51.760 it's self preservation. It's like I just I don't know nothing. 0:02:51.800 --> 0:02:56.400 I ain't seen nothing, which is not necessarily the snitching rule, 0:02:56.800 --> 0:02:59.519 because snitching has much more to do with whether you 0:02:59.600 --> 0:03:02.280 were signed up for this gang life or not. You know, 0:03:02.320 --> 0:03:04.720 if you're not signed up for this snitcher, don't count 0:03:04.720 --> 0:03:09.799 the old lady that testifies that she saw baby Doo 0:03:09.880 --> 0:03:12.680 look and little lunch meat on the corner. I do 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:15.280 know a dude named little lunch Meat on the corner. 0:03:15.919 --> 0:03:18.280 She's not snitched. That's a civilian. She's not snitching, and 0:03:18.440 --> 0:03:21.160 she just lives here. It don't count. Now if you 0:03:21.280 --> 0:03:24.040 signed up for that life and you up there testifying, 0:03:24.360 --> 0:03:27.880 oh you knew the rule, you you know better. You 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.040 signed up for this. You didn't broke a card the 0:03:30.120 --> 0:03:34.000 lawd that's different. I'm talking about staying out of it. 0:03:34.280 --> 0:03:37.280 I'm also talking about the fact that, like, listen, you know, 0:03:37.320 --> 0:03:41.760 good and Well, who broke it to your house? You know, 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.240 good and dog Ah, well, who stole your bike? You 0:03:44.280 --> 0:03:47.600 know exactly, you know who shot that food, you know 0:03:47.640 --> 0:03:50.760 who robbed it. We all know. It's the worst kept secret, 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:54.520 but everybody knows to just kind of shut up and pretend. 0:03:55.040 --> 0:03:57.080 And a lot of times the question if you can 0:03:57.160 --> 0:03:59.920 like kind of snap out of the simulation and just 0:04:00.040 --> 0:04:02.640 kind of be like, well, why why is we pretending? 0:04:04.320 --> 0:04:06.640 I mean we all why are we all not saying, well, 0:04:06.640 --> 0:04:08.920 we all know this is so silly. We're all looking 0:04:08.960 --> 0:04:11.720 at each other and we both know what happened. This 0:04:11.760 --> 0:04:15.560 is so silly. It's just pretended. It is important, and 0:04:15.600 --> 0:04:21.080 it's important mainly for fear of the clap back. You 0:04:21.080 --> 0:04:23.679 can't have nobody clap back. I guess I should pause 0:04:23.720 --> 0:04:27.320 here and say, what is a clap back? When people 0:04:27.320 --> 0:04:29.280 start making fun of each other, that's called clapping. You 0:04:29.320 --> 0:04:31.960 know what I'm saying. Clap actually came from the sound 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:34.440 of a gun. When you pull back the hammer and 0:04:34.480 --> 0:04:36.360 it hits the thing, it's called the clap. You make 0:04:36.400 --> 0:04:39.840 a gun clap the same thing as making your booties 0:04:40.200 --> 0:04:45.599 clap right, to make it clap, it's the clap right. 0:04:45.960 --> 0:04:49.680 But when somebody shoots back, that's clapping back. So when 0:04:49.720 --> 0:04:51.920 you shoot back with a gun, yo, we're gonna clap back. 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:54.280 But when you shoot back with the joke, like when 0:04:54.279 --> 0:04:57.400 you're roasting somebody, yo, that's the clap back. There was 0:04:57.480 --> 0:05:01.360 memes going around during the holiday a few years back 0:05:01.680 --> 0:05:04.240 about the Thanksgiving and Christmas clap backs. You know what 0:05:04.279 --> 0:05:07.000 I'm saying. It's like when you start dissing auntie and 0:05:07.120 --> 0:05:09.120 auntie got something to say to you back. You know 0:05:09.160 --> 0:05:11.920 what I'm saying, Like, Yo, your auntie say, hey, I 0:05:11.960 --> 0:05:14.800 heard your grades were struggling. You know, thanks her head, 0:05:14.800 --> 0:05:18.040 and you like, uh, like that button hole in your jeans. Together, 0:05:21.680 --> 0:05:23.880 hit another one. Your auntie like, yo, why you mitch 0:05:23.920 --> 0:05:26.800 matching your socks? And you like why your kids got 0:05:26.839 --> 0:05:32.920 mitch match dads. It's the clap back. So you better 0:05:33.000 --> 0:05:35.680 not bring nothing up unless you're ready. You feel me, 0:05:35.880 --> 0:05:39.119 you're ready for the clap back, You shut your mouth. 0:05:39.320 --> 0:05:46.840 You ain't ready for no clap back. Now, these are 0:05:46.880 --> 0:05:49.760 funny ways to talk about something very serious. I want 0:05:49.800 --> 0:05:53.560 to talk about the Armenian genocide. I'm gonna today give 0:05:53.600 --> 0:05:56.599 you a history as to what that is. And then 0:05:56.600 --> 0:05:58.440 I'm trying to answer a few questions that I know 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:02.520 I've always had to where I'm like, like, why is 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:04.880 this a thing that's so hard to acknowledge? Like why 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:09.560 is everyone on edge about something we obviously knew happened. 0:06:10.440 --> 0:06:13.599 If you're driving down the sixty Freeway right outside of 0:06:13.640 --> 0:06:16.120 East Los Angeles, right before you get into Mana below, 0:06:16.640 --> 0:06:20.880 there's a monument for the Armenian genocide. But it's such 0:06:20.920 --> 0:06:23.919 a big deal. Every time, you know, we get a 0:06:23.960 --> 0:06:28.719 new president, they talk about acknowledging the Armenian genocide and 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:31.359 why that's such a big deal, and then they threatened 0:06:31.360 --> 0:06:33.640 to do it. You know, it was Ronald Reagan who 0:06:33.640 --> 0:06:36.920 first called it a genocide, right, and then every president 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.120 since like, oh i'mna acknowledge it. Oh I'm gonna say 0:06:39.120 --> 0:06:41.279 it happened right in Turkey, Like don't you say it? 0:06:41.279 --> 0:06:43.520 Don't you say that? Don't you say that? Like I 0:06:43.520 --> 0:06:47.000 don't understand, like we all know what happened. Why Why 0:06:47.000 --> 0:06:50.400 why has everybody pretended like this ain't go down? What's 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:53.120 the basis? Why not just admitted? Why is it such 0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:56.720 a big deal. Why is Turkey like y'all ain't allowed 0:06:56.760 --> 0:06:59.200 to say this, don't nobody say this happened? It's like food, 0:06:59.200 --> 0:07:02.360 it happened, Like we all no, what are you talking about? 0:07:02.480 --> 0:07:06.440 Why is Turkey so hell bit to stop everybody from 0:07:06.480 --> 0:07:10.239 acknowledging it? And why is we so scared to say 0:07:10.240 --> 0:07:13.720 the obvious? What's the basis? Why don't you just admit it? 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.720 I think there's three reasons, and the main one is 0:07:16.760 --> 0:07:29.440 the fear of the clap packack clack back. Now, before 0:07:29.440 --> 0:07:32.200 I get into the other two or even express what 0:07:32.240 --> 0:07:33.800 I mean by the clap back, let me give you 0:07:33.840 --> 0:07:46.520 a little history as to like what the Armenian genocide is. Now, 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:53.040 this has taking place around World War One, Okah, we're 0:07:53.080 --> 0:07:56.000 talking about the Ottoman Empire here. What had happened was 0:07:56.040 --> 0:07:58.480 there was this political movement called the Young Turks, right, 0:07:58.520 --> 0:08:03.920 and they were worried about the hertification of the Ottoman Empire. Right. 0:08:04.040 --> 0:08:07.200 What that means is like Turkey for Turks. And I 0:08:07.240 --> 0:08:11.000 don't know if any of that sounds familiar America for Americans. 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:15.440 You know what I'm saying, Just this like strong nationalist 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:17.920 push right, and then just like the Nazis. They had 0:08:17.960 --> 0:08:22.080 to turn we need to solve the Armenian problem gods, 0:08:22.360 --> 0:08:26.360 just like they had the Jewish problem. Whenever you get 0:08:26.400 --> 0:08:29.000 that phrase, it's just like it's all bad. They were 0:08:29.000 --> 0:08:34.319 saying that Turkey has too many of these Christian Armenian people. Remember, 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:37.400 like the Ottoman Empire is a Muslim empire, right, So 0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:42.920 in nineteen fourteen or the Ottoman like military rounded up 0:08:43.040 --> 0:08:47.079 the Armenian gentry and just deported them. So when I 0:08:47.120 --> 0:08:49.240 say the gentry, I mean like these are like the educated, 0:08:49.240 --> 0:08:51.839 the well to do people of their community. Right, they 0:08:51.880 --> 0:08:54.439 just rounded them up and was just like deuces, y'all 0:08:54.480 --> 0:08:56.760 gotta go. Then they went into the villages out in 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:59.440 these rural communities and just like straight up burned the 0:08:59.520 --> 0:09:02.800 villages down. This mug like this happened, you know what 0:09:02.840 --> 0:09:05.320 I'm saying, just burned the mug down. They imprison the 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:09.360 men resistors were killed, and the rest were rounded up 0:09:09.400 --> 0:09:12.840 on this train and just dropped off in the Syrian desert, 0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:24.640 just left to die. I mean, it's unthinkable. The way 0:09:24.679 --> 0:09:27.160 that I'm saying this is clearly not doing it justice. 0:09:27.320 --> 0:09:32.160 Like this was horrible and if you know any Armenians 0:09:32.200 --> 0:09:35.560 now like the trauma still sitting their bones like this was. 0:09:38.280 --> 0:09:41.520 It was awful, just dropped off in the desert, just everybody. 0:09:41.559 --> 0:09:45.800 There's no way to like know how many people actually 0:09:46.760 --> 0:09:49.760 died in this is disputed, Like the Armenians say one 0:09:49.760 --> 0:09:52.839 point five million people died. Now the Turkish government is like, 0:09:53.080 --> 0:09:56.320 god's more like three thousand, as if that's any better. 0:09:56.600 --> 0:10:00.000 But anyway, Turkey during this time was making this calculation 0:10:00.000 --> 0:10:03.240 ship and they ended up clicking up with Germany, so 0:10:03.280 --> 0:10:06.440 they was on the axis side of World War One. Now, 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:11.320 history is the greatest teacher. Obviously that was a gross miscalculation. 0:10:12.480 --> 0:10:15.600 They have regretted that decision because right after that, once 0:10:15.640 --> 0:10:18.400 they lost and we started forming the League of Nations, 0:10:18.679 --> 0:10:24.480 all the international tribunals, uh y'all committed some crimes against humanity. 0:10:24.920 --> 0:10:29.800 You you you gotta deal with this, right, So the 0:10:29.960 --> 0:10:34.280 leaders of so there was three main pashas will Pashas 0:10:34.320 --> 0:10:37.000 like a title phrase. I don't want to try to 0:10:37.040 --> 0:10:39.360 say their their names because I don't want to. I 0:10:39.400 --> 0:10:43.559 don't mean disrespectful, but either way, it's three guys that 0:10:43.600 --> 0:10:47.800 are gonna have to answer to these international courts about 0:10:47.840 --> 0:10:53.400 these crimes against humanity and these dudes. They were sentenced 0:10:53.440 --> 0:10:57.600 to death because like, these are crimes against humanity, right, 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:06.280 and y'all gotta die. After this was after they lost 0:11:06.320 --> 0:11:09.439 World War One, them foods escaped and them three dudes 0:11:09.640 --> 0:11:12.760 bounced homie skipped town. They was in Russia, they was 0:11:12.800 --> 0:11:15.880 in Germany, gone in the wind. And when they was 0:11:15.960 --> 0:11:18.880 hiding in Germany, that's when the story started getting spun about, 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:22.160 like yo, this was justifiable homicide. Like hold up, man, 0:11:22.200 --> 0:11:24.560 They was doing this. They was protecting their nation. And 0:11:24.600 --> 0:11:26.840 you could see how Germany is like spinning this story 0:11:26.840 --> 0:11:29.320 because they're getting their old story together about like, well, 0:11:29.559 --> 0:11:31.240 I mean that's what we was doing over here. We 0:11:31.200 --> 0:11:33.439 were just protecting the hood, you know what I'm saying, Like, yo, 0:11:33.520 --> 0:11:35.320 we was getting ran out of our own businesses. I 0:11:35.320 --> 0:11:37.080 see what I see you Turkey, Like y'all was doing 0:11:37.080 --> 0:11:39.120 the same thing. Man, No, I get why y'all had 0:11:39.160 --> 0:11:41.200 to do that. You was, you was protecting your block, 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:48.600 right right. And then eventually there was this thing called 0:11:48.600 --> 0:11:53.280 the Operation Nemesis where basically since Armenians was like, look, 0:11:53.320 --> 0:11:54.800 y'are not gonna do ship. Remember what I told you 0:11:54.840 --> 0:11:57.840 about that shot young ship? Right, So since nobody was 0:11:57.880 --> 0:11:59.880 doing shit. They were like, okay, we need to take 0:11:59.880 --> 0:12:01.520 the us into our own hands. So they ran up 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.439 to America, ran up to some other of the Allied 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:06.679 powers and they was like, look, doc, we put him 0:12:06.679 --> 0:12:09.080 on trial and niggas escaped. They got away with it. 0:12:09.200 --> 0:12:12.679 What we're gonna do? And then so we was like, 0:12:12.720 --> 0:12:15.200 all right, well green lightning, go get your dude. Right, 0:12:15.240 --> 0:12:18.080 So this guy Ted larry On ended up killing I 0:12:18.120 --> 0:12:20.920 mean point blank styles like bullet under the ear and 0:12:21.320 --> 0:12:23.760 ran up on him and was like my black punk 0:12:23.920 --> 0:12:27.480 like murdered this food. And then this Pasha's body he got, 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.760 he got merked in Germany, in Berlin because he was 0:12:29.840 --> 0:12:33.520 hiding out there. The German governant like flew this dude 0:12:33.520 --> 0:12:35.400 back to Turkey and was like calling this man like 0:12:35.440 --> 0:12:39.239 a hero. And at the whole time, like the Armenians 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:43.960 are like, nigga hero, he's a fugitive. The hell are 0:12:44.000 --> 0:12:51.880 y'all talking about? Right? What did you talking about? So 0:12:52.000 --> 0:12:55.840 all of us know that this happened, So why not 0:12:57.480 --> 0:12:59.720 just take it on the chair. I'll tell you after 0:12:59.760 --> 0:13:29.400 the right. So what's the big deal? Why not just 0:13:29.520 --> 0:13:33.199 acknowledge what we already knows happens. One would sometimes maybe 0:13:33.240 --> 0:13:37.280 like flash to like the Holocaust deniers, but like it's okay, 0:13:37.320 --> 0:13:39.920 their answer is obvious, you know what I'm saying, because 0:13:40.000 --> 0:13:43.440 they like that one's easy, that's that's stupid. But why 0:13:43.480 --> 0:13:45.960 would we just kind of like how you got monuments 0:13:46.000 --> 0:13:49.120 off the side of the road but then won't like 0:13:49.280 --> 0:13:52.440 formally acknowledge and who cares whether you formally acknowledge it 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:56.560 or not it happened. Yeah, I'm saying, you ever broke 0:13:56.640 --> 0:13:59.560 up with somebody another person, don't think y'all broken up? Like, 0:14:00.040 --> 0:14:04.920 don't care what you say, like were not together? You say? 0:14:05.400 --> 0:14:10.400 Number one? The answer for why you don't say who 0:14:10.440 --> 0:14:15.200 broke into these houses? Why you don't acknowledge what the 0:14:15.240 --> 0:14:18.320 hood already knows. Worst kept secret is fear of the 0:14:18.360 --> 0:14:22.880 clap back. What would be the clap back if America 0:14:23.680 --> 0:14:31.280 acknowledges the genocide of the Armenians by Turkey. Well, Turkey 0:14:31.320 --> 0:14:35.520 gave one clap back already. Turkey's president looked at camera 0:14:36.520 --> 0:14:38.640 in both of his eyes and he was like, will 0:14:38.680 --> 0:14:43.040 acknowledge this genocide? If America acknowledges what they did to 0:14:43.080 --> 0:14:51.880 the Native Americans, Whoo, that's a clap back. US. Listen 0:14:52.040 --> 0:14:55.840 when you're in the hood, nobody hands clean. You understand 0:14:55.840 --> 0:14:58.640 what I'm saying. So before you start saying, hey didn't 0:14:58.640 --> 0:15:01.320 you break into this fool's house, they could be like, hey, 0:15:01.480 --> 0:15:04.440 didn't you robbed that nigga last week? So before you 0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:06.600 start talking, you want me to shut up, and then 0:15:06.680 --> 0:15:10.360 you need to shut I'll acknowledge this, nigga. When you 0:15:10.400 --> 0:15:16.920 acknowledge that, I'll acknowledge this. When you start talking about 0:15:17.000 --> 0:15:19.560 the atrocities, nigga, what's up with it? Oh, you want 0:15:19.560 --> 0:15:23.680 to talk genocide Because you want to talk genocide, its 0:15:23.840 --> 0:15:26.920 entire tribes that don't exist. You want to talk genocide, 0:15:26.960 --> 0:15:30.520 big homie. You want to talk atrocities when you're gonna 0:15:30.560 --> 0:15:33.280 pay reparations. I think it's best you leave us to 0:15:33.360 --> 0:15:37.160 our own devices and mind your own business. Who you 0:15:37.240 --> 0:15:43.640 think you dealing with? Who fear to clap back? Big homie? 0:15:44.400 --> 0:15:50.800 You better shut your mouth. There was one time a 0:15:50.840 --> 0:15:56.080 while back when Pope Francis actually called the Armenian genocide 0:15:56.160 --> 0:15:58.640 the first genocide in the twentieth centie. Everybody know about 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:01.040 the Jewel and he was like, yo, Pope friends was like, no, 0:16:01.160 --> 0:16:06.000 that was the first genocide. Turkey reacted to that Turkey. 0:16:06.240 --> 0:16:12.720 I'm a quoted. Turkey recalled its Vatican ambassador and accused 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:18.080 the Pope of having discriminated about people suffering. The Pope 0:16:18.160 --> 0:16:22.400 overlooked the atrocities that the Turks and Muslims have suffered 0:16:22.520 --> 0:16:26.000 in World War One and only highlighted the Christians suffering, 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:30.040 especially that of the Armenian people. That's what the Turkeys 0:16:30.120 --> 0:16:32.360 foreign Menisterine said. The minister I got this from a 0:16:32.360 --> 0:16:36.280 BBC article about these wars in Europe during this time. Now, 0:16:36.320 --> 0:16:39.000 I think again, that's super interesting because he looking and 0:16:39.120 --> 0:16:42.640 he's like, man, that's real convenient. It's real convenient that you. Yeah, 0:16:42.640 --> 0:16:44.400 I mean, it seems it seemed pretty easy for you 0:16:44.440 --> 0:16:46.960 to acknowledge what happened to them Christians. But you ain't 0:16:46.960 --> 0:16:49.080 got nothing to say about when our Muslim family was 0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.760 wiped out. You ain't got nothing to say about that. 0:16:52.120 --> 0:16:54.000 You could stretch that to right now. It's like, oh, 0:16:54.040 --> 0:16:56.360 that's interesting. You got all this jewice, you got all 0:16:56.400 --> 0:16:58.120 this smoke, you know what I'm saying, all this wolf 0:16:58.120 --> 0:17:01.600 and you're doing about Israeli living conditions. You got nothing 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:05.199 to say about the Palestinians though. That's interesting. Fan. You 0:17:05.240 --> 0:17:11.880 seem to have select select hearing and remembrance of atrocities. 0:17:12.200 --> 0:17:14.160 It sounds to me like, you know what I'm saying, 0:17:14.160 --> 0:17:16.080 you're afraid of that clap back. You better shut your 0:17:16.119 --> 0:17:19.600 mouth because those who live in glass houses should not 0:17:19.680 --> 0:17:22.879 throw stones. We all know that, one homie, you're afraid 0:17:22.880 --> 0:17:25.680 of the clap back, it's best you shut your mouth 0:17:25.680 --> 0:17:28.600 because you got blood on your hands too. And also, 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.399 for a long time, america stance was like I said, 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:35.600 what we do in the hood, you mind your own business. Look, 0:17:35.680 --> 0:17:37.720 I wasn't over there. I don't know no, But look, 0:17:37.760 --> 0:17:40.280 I'm cool with both of y'all. You know what I'm saying. 0:17:40.320 --> 0:17:42.840 Like we got we got our medians here, we got 0:17:42.840 --> 0:17:45.760 turks here. Look, look that's y'all's beef. I don't want 0:17:45.760 --> 0:17:48.399 to be in the middle of that, right Look, I 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:50.480 need to be cool with both of y'all, like I 0:17:50.520 --> 0:17:54.320 need y'all both. So America kind of took a position 0:17:54.359 --> 0:17:56.480 for a long time like, look, there's none of our business. 0:17:57.000 --> 0:17:59.840 Here's the problem with that. Though you seem to find 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:03.200 O business, you seem to find a lot of other 0:18:03.200 --> 0:18:06.240 ship around the world. Is your business? I think that's 0:18:06.440 --> 0:18:11.119 I mean, was kawait your business was Venezuela. Your business 0:18:11.640 --> 0:18:14.840 would the concerts? Your business was Naraguay with your your 0:18:14.880 --> 0:18:20.320 business nick it, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan? Was any of 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:23.240 that your business? Why all of a sudden, this ain't 0:18:23.280 --> 0:18:27.119 your business. You gotta be careful. Fan, watch out for 0:18:27.160 --> 0:18:30.040 that clap back. I mean, the same thing happening here. Well, o, man, 0:18:30.080 --> 0:18:31.920 I stay out of that. Oh word, you stayed out 0:18:31.920 --> 0:18:36.400 of that. That's interesting, Okay, you're afraid of that clap back? 0:18:43.119 --> 0:18:45.760 Number two. I think another thing that happened is here 0:18:45.800 --> 0:18:48.720 is you could get hit with the Well technically that 0:18:48.840 --> 0:18:50.560 that that should happened in the hood all the time, 0:18:50.560 --> 0:18:54.760 where it's just like well technically, you know, uh, he 0:18:54.960 --> 0:18:57.679 really had no business walking down the street anyway, you know. 0:18:58.480 --> 0:19:01.879 And I mean well, I mean I shot him, but 0:19:02.000 --> 0:19:04.200 like well, I mean, well, technically I ain't kill him, 0:19:04.240 --> 0:19:05.760 you know what I'm saying, Like the hood killed him. 0:19:05.800 --> 0:19:09.160 That wasn't me, though, I mean, well, technically he tried 0:19:09.200 --> 0:19:12.680 to rob us and I just clapped it back. Well, technically, 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:17.879 the word genocide didn't exist until after Article two of 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:22.840 the U N Convention on Genocide in This happened in 0:19:22.920 --> 0:19:26.960 nineteen fourteen. This a long time ago, and it describes 0:19:27.040 --> 0:19:31.119 genocide as carrying out acts intended to destroy and whole 0:19:31.400 --> 0:19:35.639 or a part a national, ethnic, racial, or religious group. 0:19:37.240 --> 0:19:40.240 They like, that's not what we was doing. Wasn't organized. 0:19:40.560 --> 0:19:45.359 It's like, listen, what had happened was we was beefing 0:19:45.400 --> 0:19:47.880 with these foods for a long time. Y'all stepped into 0:19:47.920 --> 0:19:56.879 a local thing. Y'all don't understand. And genocide implies premeditation orchestration. 0:19:57.800 --> 0:19:59.840 But so so they was like, listen, we ain't or 0:20:00.000 --> 0:20:02.359 and straight this thing. This just kind of happened. And 0:20:02.400 --> 0:20:03.840 it's not like we're trying to wipe them up out 0:20:03.880 --> 0:20:06.280 the face of the earth, like this wasn't It wasn't 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:09.359 like that, we just ain't want them here. And they're like, yeah, 0:20:09.560 --> 0:20:13.760 we will admit that we committed atrocities. But the idea 0:20:13.840 --> 0:20:18.080 that this was like a systematic approach to like destroy 0:20:18.440 --> 0:20:22.840 Christian Armenians, They're like, nah, this was war. We was 0:20:22.920 --> 0:20:24.840 like a whole lot of time on Turkey said like 0:20:24.880 --> 0:20:28.400 mad Muslim Turks like died in this war, to which 0:20:28.400 --> 0:20:31.119 a lot of us are saying, nigga, what war, what 0:20:31.200 --> 0:20:33.560 are you talking about? What what are you talking about? 0:20:33.680 --> 0:20:35.719 But they can hit us with. What had happened was 0:20:35.800 --> 0:20:39.640 we'll see y'all, we wasn't there, you know, and technically, no, 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:42.600 don't get me wrong. Okay, now listen then listen, listen, listen, listen. 0:20:43.440 --> 0:20:45.320 I slapped the ship out of this nigga, I know that, 0:20:45.520 --> 0:20:48.080 But like y'all don't get the whole picture though, you know, 0:20:48.200 --> 0:20:49.840 you weren't there. You know what I'm saying, like, it 0:20:49.840 --> 0:20:52.480 ain't It ain't what he's saying. It's not how they're 0:20:52.520 --> 0:20:55.639 saying it. You feel me, No, No, I hit him, 0:20:55.680 --> 0:20:57.960 you know. So they're like, look, yeah, okay, so okay, 0:20:57.960 --> 0:20:59.800 we did this ship, but it's not like y'all saying 0:21:00.000 --> 0:21:02.320 like I ain't. No. First of all, genocide didn't even exist. 0:21:02.520 --> 0:21:05.159 It wasn't even a word. How are you gonna call this? 0:21:06.040 --> 0:21:08.119 That's not a thing that can hit you with a 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:11.680 well technically, I mean, are they right? I mean to 0:21:11.760 --> 0:21:14.840 which I think, Well, we didn't know what the word 0:21:15.000 --> 0:21:19.639 vitamin was until modern age. But it's not like vitamins 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:22.119 didn't exist, that they weren't inside of our food and 0:21:22.200 --> 0:21:24.600 keeping us alive. Just because we didn't call it a vitamin, 0:21:24.920 --> 0:21:53.160 ain't mean that wasn't what it was and thirdly, which 0:21:53.240 --> 0:21:55.720 I also think is probably one of the most powerful ones, 0:21:55.840 --> 0:22:00.320 which is, oh, but y'all need me. Turkey can always 0:22:00.359 --> 0:22:06.200 say that, yeah need me. So the US government has 0:22:06.480 --> 0:22:10.959 I mean, they held back for decades because Turkey is 0:22:11.640 --> 0:22:16.320 the second biggest military power in NATO. Nigger they got guns. 0:22:17.280 --> 0:22:21.840 And even though the US hosts the largest Armenian diaspora 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:27.280 after Russia, like they talked about like over over a million, 0:22:28.040 --> 0:22:31.320 we still kind of need Turkey. So when Kendrick said, listen, 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:35.760 I'm not gonna tell you that blank, which sounded like 0:22:35.880 --> 0:22:42.280 James because it reminds with brains anyway, He's like, I'm 0:22:42.320 --> 0:22:48.080 just gonna look at you all different. What we learned 0:22:48.160 --> 0:22:57.080 from that is, oh, they shoot, They're not afraid to 0:22:57.119 --> 0:23:01.159 pull triggers. Them niggas got the black they got them things. 0:23:01.800 --> 0:23:06.000 I need y'all to stay on my side because if 0:23:06.000 --> 0:23:11.360 it gets hot over here, would you rather have on 0:23:11.400 --> 0:23:16.080 your side the hunter or the hunted. I'm just saying 0:23:16.080 --> 0:23:19.960 it's strategy. And Turkey can always say that to the US, like, oh, no, nigga, 0:23:20.040 --> 0:23:25.000 you need us. Look around where we are. Nigga's don't 0:23:25.040 --> 0:23:28.240 really like you over here anyway. So if you're gonna 0:23:28.280 --> 0:23:29.840 be good over here if you won't keep your hood 0:23:29.840 --> 0:23:31.880 past in the Middle East, Nick, you better shut your mouth. 0:23:32.680 --> 0:23:36.840 Be careful now, everybody hands ain't clean. Remember, I can 0:23:36.840 --> 0:23:40.679 clap back, I can hit you on the technicality, but 0:23:40.760 --> 0:23:44.800 more importantly, I pull triggers because and you need me 0:23:44.840 --> 0:23:47.280 over here, because niggas don't like you on this side 0:23:47.320 --> 0:23:51.159 of town. So before you start blabbing the obvious, I 0:23:51.240 --> 0:23:57.040 need you to remember, nigga, you need us. I think 0:23:57.080 --> 0:23:58.800 the last question I would ask is like, so, what's 0:23:58.800 --> 0:24:01.320 in it for Turkey? Though not the Ottoman Empire number? 0:24:01.320 --> 0:24:03.639 Why don't you just take it on the chain? Here's 0:24:03.680 --> 0:24:06.400 what my hood Antennas would pick up on. They took 0:24:06.400 --> 0:24:09.760 a major l in World War One. I don't think 0:24:09.760 --> 0:24:13.640 you understand how large the Ottoman Empire was. I don't 0:24:13.640 --> 0:24:17.320 think we really understand, like what was happening in Turkey 0:24:18.040 --> 0:24:22.520 in from fourteen hundreds on, Like that was the Muslim 0:24:22.560 --> 0:24:35.199 world was the center of all progression, all progress, libraries, science, math, art, literature. 0:24:35.920 --> 0:24:39.560 They dethroned Rome, Like let's okay, are we like remembering this? 0:24:40.080 --> 0:24:46.679 Constantinople became is Stanbul?

There's a dude over 0:24:59.240 --> 0:25:02.480 there in the corner and turban that's a bearweze. Do 0:25:02.600 --> 0:25:05.600 not sleep on the Ottoman Empire. I know, we Westerners 0:25:05.640 --> 0:25:07.919 over here you don't learn much about like Muslim culture. 0:25:07.920 --> 0:25:11.000 But listen, I'll tell you one or two things happened 0:25:11.080 --> 0:25:16.840 different America Muslim country.
