Speaker 1: What's going on? Guys. Welcome back to another episode of
Speaker 1: Legit Check. I'm your host, Easy Busta Now guys today. UM,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna keep today's podcast short and sweet because it's
Speaker 1: gonna be a little bit different than all the other
Speaker 1: podcasts in the sense that, you know, it's not gonna
Speaker 1: be talking about sneakers and the upcoming releases or exposing anybody. UM,
Speaker 1: what I am going to be talking about is what
Speaker 1: happened last week and what's carried on into this week,
Speaker 1: and what we'll carry on moving forward. I think it's
Speaker 1: really important for me to talk about, UM, kind of
Speaker 1: like my thoughts and my feelings about this whole situation,
Speaker 1: because you know, it's been crazy so far, and there's
Speaker 1: been a lot of good, there's been some bad, but
Speaker 1: hopefully the only thing that really matters is that we
Speaker 1: come out from this better than we were before, and
Speaker 1: there needs to be a change now. Obviously, if you
Speaker 1: guys don't know what I'm talking about, I'm talking about
Speaker 1: the horrific murder of UM George Floyd last week, and uh,
Speaker 1: I honestly think it would be really inappropriate for me
Speaker 1: to talk about anything else considering, you know what happened.
Speaker 1: And UM, honestly, guys, like, if you haven't seen the
Speaker 1: video by now, I mean I think everybody pretty much has. Um.
Speaker 1: It's absolutely like disgusting. It's a video of a cop. Um,
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna say what his name is, putting
Speaker 1: his knee to quote unquote detain a man named George Floyd.
Speaker 1: And he held his knee on George Floyd's neck for
Speaker 1: eight minutes and forty six seconds and sadly, Um, George
Speaker 1: Floyd had passed away and he was killed by this
Speaker 1: horrible cop. And I can't even like put into words
Speaker 1: like what a terrible person this this guy was. And UM, honestly, guys,
Speaker 1: like from all of this, like I said, there needs
Speaker 1: to be a change, Like there needs to be police reform,
Speaker 1: police brutality needs to be put to an end like this,
Speaker 1: this has to stop. Like we we can't just continue
Speaker 1: to pretend like it doesn't exist. And we can't just
Speaker 1: continue to pretend that racist don't exist in our country.
Speaker 1: And I mean quite frankly, quite frankly in the whole world.
Speaker 1: But I mean, we gotta start here. We gotta start here.
Speaker 1: We we need to love our black brothers and sisters.
Speaker 1: We need to stand up for them. We need to
Speaker 1: understand that what they go through we may never understand
Speaker 1: because we are not for those who are not born black,
Speaker 1: Like you don't understand what they go through on a
Speaker 1: day to day basis, because like, racism is an absolute thing,
Speaker 1: and you know, I think it's really messed up when
Speaker 1: people try to pretend like it's not a real thing
Speaker 1: or like whatever, and clearly it is and it's affected
Speaker 1: hundreds of thousands of people honestly daily. Um, But I
Speaker 1: really think that it's important for us to see what's
Speaker 1: going on now and move forward stronger, and honestly move
Speaker 1: forward stronger, not only as a country, but as a
Speaker 1: as a family. We really need to understand that all
Speaker 1: those around us are our brothers and sisters, and we
Speaker 1: need to love everybody. Me being in the sneaker community,
Speaker 1: there's people from all walks of life, all races, genders, everything,
Speaker 1: Like everybody is united. We're all like in this together,
Speaker 1: you know. And that's one thing that I love about
Speaker 1: the sneaker community is not just um, like one specific race,
Speaker 1: like it's we're all It's like a melting pot, you know.
Speaker 1: I've been all over the world um at at sneaker
Speaker 1: conventions and events, and like it's amazing how people from
Speaker 1: all from all over the world come together and we
Speaker 1: all have the same passion and the same love for
Speaker 1: like the same things, which is so cool, and like
Speaker 1: that's why I love the sneaker community and that sense.
Speaker 1: But I think it's really important for all of us
Speaker 1: to come together and fight racism. And honestly, this isn't
Speaker 1: even like political anymore. This is this is something that
Speaker 1: just inherently needs to be stopped. Like everybody agrees that
Speaker 1: this is absolutely Like what what that cop didn't George
Speaker 1: Floyd was absolutely disgusting, I mean, right left, middle, like
Speaker 1: wherever you are on the political spectrum, Like, we all
Speaker 1: agree that what he did was disgusting and it needs
Speaker 1: to be this This should not be a white and
Speaker 1: versus black thing. This should be an everyone versus racist
Speaker 1: team because guys, anybody who has any sort of racism
Speaker 1: in their heart is it's just racism is evil, Like
Speaker 1: how could you believe that your race superior to someone else's.
Speaker 1: Like at the end of the day, Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: the textbook definition of racism is literally um discriminating against
Speaker 1: someone on the basis that your racist superior. Like, dude,
Speaker 1: that is so disgusting to me that anybody would ever
Speaker 1: think that they're better than someone else just because of
Speaker 1: the color of their skin. And there needs to be
Speaker 1: a change, like out of all this, out of all
Speaker 1: of the protests, like the peaceful protests and the rioting
Speaker 1: and the looting and all this madness and chaos, like
Speaker 1: there needs to be a light at the end of
Speaker 1: the tunnel that is positive. People need to come out
Speaker 1: of this knowing that we all have each other, that
Speaker 1: we love each other no matter what color your skin is,
Speaker 1: or how you identify, or where your back or what
Speaker 1: your background is, like we all need to just come
Speaker 1: together and love each other. And all of us just
Speaker 1: need to understand that this is not this is not
Speaker 1: like we all need to understand that this is everybody
Speaker 1: versus the racists, because racism doesn't belong in our country,
Speaker 1: it doesn't belong in the world, and it's something that
Speaker 1: needs to be completely eradicated. And I think this is
Speaker 1: the first step, and this should have been this step
Speaker 1: should have been taken a long time ago, because George
Speaker 1: Floyd did not have to die, He did not deserve
Speaker 1: to die. He should not have died. And quite frankly,
Speaker 1: it just makes me sick that um sick about what
Speaker 1: this cop did to him. But on top of that,
Speaker 1: the fact that this guy had multiple offenses before what
Speaker 1: he just did last week, and nobody stopped him or
Speaker 1: kicked him out of the force. He continued to stay
Speaker 1: in the force. He was allowed to be in the force,
Speaker 1: and he was allowed to kill George Floyd. And honestly,
Speaker 1: it just makes me sick, Like there needs to be
Speaker 1: police reform, Like police brutality is a thing. It really
Speaker 1: needs to stop. Like nobody deserves to see there their son,
Speaker 1: their father, their grandson, like whatever get killed by a
Speaker 1: police officer for no reason. Like it just makes me sick.
Speaker 1: And and guys, obviously you know, today's episodes very um
Speaker 1: different than what we normally talk about. Like I said,
Speaker 1: but I mean it's something that needs to be said.
Speaker 1: Like I think I would be very insensitive and ignorant
Speaker 1: not to talk about what's going on and like and
Speaker 1: I give you guys my opinion on the whole thing,
Speaker 1: because I do have such a large platform, UM and
Speaker 1: I want my platform to spread positivity and um happiness,
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of people might be like, yo,
Speaker 1: you know you bully people like whatever. I never really
Speaker 1: view what I do as bullying because honestly, I just
Speaker 1: I just speak the truth. Man. If somebody's weren't to
Speaker 1: fake stuff, I'm like, yo, that's fake and that's it.
Speaker 1: I always talking about how I don't really care people
Speaker 1: wear fake stuff as long as they just don't up
Speaker 1: to it. But if somebody wears fake stuff and pretends
Speaker 1: like it's real, that's my issue. Right. But if you notice,
Speaker 1: I never like really name call um. I never I
Speaker 1: never like put anyone down for anything. I just kind
Speaker 1: of just speak the truth about like what they're wearing. Right,
Speaker 1: And you know, obviously I've built an audience in a
Speaker 1: platform that you know, listen that he um listens to
Speaker 1: what I have to say and kind of respects my
Speaker 1: opinions on things, and guys, Like, if there's anything that
Speaker 1: you guys can respect my opinion on out of everything
Speaker 1: that I've ever done, please just try and understand and
Speaker 1: respect my opinion about what's going on now, Like there
Speaker 1: needs to be a change. Police brutality needs to be stopped.
Speaker 1: Racists need to like funk off like they need to
Speaker 1: be they like they need to be educated and understand
Speaker 1: that racism has no place in America, has no place
Speaker 1: in this world, has no place in anybody's heart. And
Speaker 1: and that's honestly how I feel about this whole thing.
Speaker 1: And in a way, like obviously I want I want
Speaker 1: life to go back to quote unquote normal, but life
Speaker 1: can't can't continue to go on normal if things like
Speaker 1: this keep happening. The only way that we're going to
Speaker 1: be able to live in like a good, positive, equal
Speaker 1: and happy society is to end things like this and
Speaker 1: police brutality and racism. And this is a necessary step
Speaker 1: to move forward. And everybody has the right to protest.
Speaker 1: I stand for it. And um, obviously there are some
Speaker 1: things and that that try to blur the message of
Speaker 1: what's actually trying to be spread from the protesting. Like
Speaker 1: people want to protest for there to be a change
Speaker 1: and for there to be justice for George Floyd. People
Speaker 1: aren't protesting to loot or to steal things. Like the
Speaker 1: people who are doing that are opportunists who just like
Speaker 1: want want to take advantage of this whole situation. Besides that,
Speaker 1: I support the protesters and make your voice heard. Yell
Speaker 1: that ship, yell that ship, like stand for justice, stand
Speaker 1: for a change in our country, stand for a necessary change.
Speaker 1: I don't want to see this happen ever again. And honestly,
Speaker 1: I love each and every one of you guys, like
Speaker 1: I don't care what like race, gender, or cultural background
Speaker 1: that you have, Like I love you as a human
Speaker 1: and everybody just needs to understand that we're all brothers
Speaker 1: and sisters, were all humans. We all look the same
Speaker 1: under our skin, like we all have the same organs,
Speaker 1: we all have the same blood that runs through our veins,
Speaker 1: and we need to understand that everybody needs to come
Speaker 1: together and we need to we need to make a change.
Speaker 1: And I know I've said that like a hundred times,
Speaker 1: but that's honestly my whole opinion on the matter. Like
Speaker 1: we need to make a change. We need to there
Speaker 1: needs to be a change, and I really hope that.
Speaker 1: And if you're listening to this, I like, I like,
Speaker 1: I appreciate you more than anything, Like thank you for supporting,
Speaker 1: thank you for always backing me up. And like I said,
