And you know, there was like 59 00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,800 Speaker 4: this whole thing that ensued where some people were coming 60 00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 4: through being like, oh man, they fucked up the whole 61 00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:12,200 Speaker 4: fun and people were like, now not really time to 62 00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 4: say that. You know, we're talking about uh, somebody overstepping 63 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 4: bounds and talking about you know, issues of coming into 64 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:26,280 Speaker 4: somebody's space and stuff, and so those people I did see, 65 00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,079 Speaker 4: they did apologize that that they were kind of called 66 00:03:28,080 --> 00:03:33,120 Speaker 4: to the carpet on that. But more importantly, you know, I, 67 00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,600 Speaker 4: you know, the dude left the group immediately. I didn't 68 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 4: even get a chance to see it and kick him 69 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:42,400 Speaker 4: out or anything. And and and it's one of those 70 00:03:42,440 --> 00:03:44,760 Speaker 4: people where they befriended a lot of people from the group, 71 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 4: so you know, they there's a chance that might. 72 00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:50,000 Speaker 3: Be your friend or whatever. 73 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:55,200 Speaker 4: I'm assuming they upfriended all these people to avoid their wife. 74 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 3: Finding out or whatever. 75 00:03:57,560 --> 00:04:00,080 Speaker 4: And I don't know this guy personally or anything like that, 76 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 4: so I don't I don't know anything beyond that. But 77 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,240 Speaker 4: the point being, you know, we would like for our 78 00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 4: group to be a space where people can come in 79 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,760 Speaker 4: and have fun, enjoy each other and stuff like that. 80 00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 4: And I hate when people take advantage of shit like that. 81 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 4: But it is twenty two hundred people, so it's almost 82 00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:23,839 Speaker 4: no way that we can guarantee any body will be 83 00:04:24,040 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 4: one hundred percent anything. You know, we've closed the group 84 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,359 Speaker 4: at this point. It's a secret group, so you can't 85 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:34,080 Speaker 4: find it by searching. We're not allowing members and people 86 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,440 Speaker 4: you know have asked, can you can I add this 87 00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 4: person and we just say no. So for the most part, 88 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,919 Speaker 4: you know, the group is the group at this point, 89 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,360 Speaker 4: and if there's anybody that violates the rules of the 90 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:48,279 Speaker 4: group and stuff, we try to kick them out and 91 00:04:48,320 --> 00:04:52,640 Speaker 4: get rid of it immediately. But at the same time, 92 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:56,280 Speaker 4: you know, it is definitely a precedage your own risk 93 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 4: type of environment because at no point can we really 94 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,920 Speaker 4: guarantee the behavior of anybody, you know, and the tools 95 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,720 Speaker 4: we have on Facebook are not enough to really truly 96 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 4: brain in somebody if they're you know, lurking or just 97 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 4: like this kind of person where they send you to 98 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,239 Speaker 4: listen to the show, they've been in there for months. 99 00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,679 Speaker 4: They're predatory, you know, And there's a lot of people 100 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,800 Speaker 4: like that that will pretend. We talked about it with 101 00:05:24,680 --> 00:05:27,839 Speaker 4: that Citizen Radio shit where people will pretend to be 102 00:05:27,960 --> 00:05:30,320 Speaker 4: down and shit, but the whole time they're in the 103 00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:35,640 Speaker 4: background trying to finagle some shit. So, yeah, I'm sorry 104 00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,080 Speaker 4: that that happen, obviously, and like I said, we will, 105 00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 4: you know, essentially, if it's brought to our attention, we 106 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,280 Speaker 4: just get rid of that kind of shit. Like it 107 00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,359 Speaker 4: is hard to manage twenty two hundred different personalities and people, 108 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:53,159 Speaker 4: and people have brought up this idea of like maybe 109 00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 4: having moderators or something, but we're not big fans of 110 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,719 Speaker 4: that because for the most part, even people that I 111 00:05:59,760 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 4: thought about in the past of like, well, Caaren, maybe 112 00:06:01,720 --> 00:06:04,760 Speaker 4: we can make this person the moderator.

Occasionally we run across 496 00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,120 Speaker 4: the situation we aren't prepared for. As a society, we're 497 00:25:51,160 --> 00:25:54,639 Speaker 4: dismissive of hetero harassment, and schoolgirls are constantly told that 498 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,000 Speaker 4: a boy harassing them just likes them, which is ridiculous. 499 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,680 Speaker 4: Little Stevie snaps, your bro says fil things, you push 500 00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:01,080 Speaker 4: you down, all because he likes you. 501 00:26:01,160 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 2: Now. 502 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:06,159 Speaker 4: Further, society doesn't deal with homosexuality well either.

The same adults 508 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:20,640 Speaker 4: comfortable with harassment by the opposite sex often react far 509 00:26:20,680 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 4: more seriously when in fronted with same sex harassment. The 510 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 4: cool thing is that this parent asked, instead of going 511 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,879 Speaker 4: with the knee jerk reaction. Oh yeah, for sure. I 512 00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:30,919 Speaker 4: guess it's just like I said, it never crossed my 513 00:26:30,960 --> 00:26:34,400 Speaker 4: mind how different you would treat that. But I guess 514 00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:38,080 Speaker 4: in some people's mind it's just like you know, they 515 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:40,119 Speaker 4: would treat it differently, right, Like. 516 00:26:40,119 --> 00:26:42,399 Speaker 5: The harassment is harassment. I don't give it. Damn what 517 00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:43,119 Speaker 5: sex it is? 518 00:26:43,280 --> 00:26:46,159 Speaker 4: Yeah, Like, why wouldn't you treat the steps because you 519 00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,360 Speaker 4: only have certain steps in the school, no matter what. 520 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 4: So right, But you never know because people do have 521 00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:56,160 Speaker 4: hate man, and they do like you will see people 522 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,800 Speaker 4: that say, like I said, this is the same society 523 00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:02,480 Speaker 4: where Tracy More it was acceptable on a stage full 524 00:27:02,520 --> 00:27:04,920 Speaker 4: of people in an audience to say he would stab 525 00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,239 Speaker 4: his son in the chest for being gay. Now he 526 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:12,719 Speaker 4: did apologize, But just the fact that even off the cuff, 527 00:27:12,760 --> 00:27:16,600 Speaker 4: you think an audience full of people would if they 528 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:18,959 Speaker 4: didn't agree with it, they would at least find it 529 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:23,119 Speaker 4: funny at the minimum, That says a lot about our society. 530 00:27:23,240 --> 00:27:25,199 Speaker 4: You know, I think a lot of times people just 531 00:27:25,280 --> 00:27:29,600 Speaker 4: don't consider sometimes it's the state. It's not so much 532 00:27:29,640 --> 00:27:32,280 Speaker 4: that the statement itself, but the fact that people feel 533 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 4: comfortable making a statement like that. It says what they 534 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 4: feel society is reflecting back to them. So yeah, it 535 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:44,120 Speaker 4: says a lot that a person could think that, yes, 536 00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,120 Speaker 4: this joke, there's nothing wrong with this. And like I said, 537 00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:49,679 Speaker 4: I don't remember the clip exactly, but if people laughed 538 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:54,359 Speaker 4: at that, it pretty much justifies his homophobia in that situation. 539 00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:57,800 Speaker 3: So yeah, I completely understand. 540 00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 4: You have the pole, how do you eat cereal milk first, 541 00:28:02,800 --> 00:28:06,320 Speaker 4: the poor cereal, cereal first and poor milk or some 542 00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:13,480 Speaker 4: other disgusting weird away milk first and poor cereal?

Van Jones is 677 00:35:26,280 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 4: just lowering the bar. Am Sashapir says, the discussion around 678 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,279 Speaker 4: time Monda's comments is so nuanced and interesting. Here's something 679 00:35:36,280 --> 00:35:38,200 Speaker 4: I feel gets left out. I know trans women who 680 00:35:38,239 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 4: identify very strongly as trans women and reject being referred 681 00:35:41,719 --> 00:35:44,920 Speaker 4: to as just women when it's used without a qualifier 682 00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 4: as an umbrella term. They say, I'm not just a woman, 683 00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:50,720 Speaker 4: I'm a trans woman. They want their identity and struggle 684 00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:52,400 Speaker 4: to be seen a highlighted and not lumped into the 685 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:56,319 Speaker 4: experiences assist women. The desire is specifically to be called 686 00:35:56,360 --> 00:35:58,080 Speaker 4: a trans woman is very similar in the way that 687 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 4: black women. Feminists claim that societal identity separate them from 688 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:07,040 Speaker 4: the default white concepts of womanhood and feminism. Yes, trans 689 00:36:07,080 --> 00:36:09,200 Speaker 4: women should be allowed to speak for themselves, but interestingly, 690 00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,960 Speaker 4: some of the more vocal advocates have a blind spot. 691 00:36:12,480 --> 00:36:15,239 Speaker 4: Not all trans women are a monolist on this. You 692 00:36:15,360 --> 00:36:17,160 Speaker 4: really have to ask people how they want to be 693 00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:20,640 Speaker 4: referred to. In my circle, pushing the term woman quote 694 00:36:20,680 --> 00:36:24,320 Speaker 4: unquote real woman comes with such a strong sense of erasure. 695 00:36:24,400 --> 00:36:27,000 Speaker 4: I'm sis, but have questioned my gender identity in various 696 00:36:27,000 --> 00:36:27,680 Speaker 4: ways growing up. 697 00:36:28,320 --> 00:36:28,919 Speaker 3: I've been hurting. 698 00:36:28,960 --> 00:36:32,000 Speaker 4: I've seen my friends hurt when well mean assistant trans 699 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:33,919 Speaker 4: women get too caught up in this idea of quote 700 00:36:33,960 --> 00:36:36,480 Speaker 4: unquote real women. To my mind, that should be careful 701 00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,640 Speaker 4: with the words. But some of the people, especially in backlash, 702 00:36:39,080 --> 00:36:42,160 Speaker 4: often offend other trans women too. They don't realize that 703 00:36:42,239 --> 00:36:45,360 Speaker 4: their insistence clumsily implies that women should be the standard 704 00:36:45,400 --> 00:36:50,080 Speaker 4: to strive toward. This gives even more complicated controversial when 705 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:53,399 Speaker 4: the loudest advocates are the more traditionally fem presenting ones 706 00:36:53,440 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 4: who can. 707 00:36:53,840 --> 00:36:56,640 Speaker 3: Pass y'all hear you. 708 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:01,439 Speaker 4: I have not read those on this where trans people 709 00:37:01,480 --> 00:37:04,239 Speaker 4: are saying tim and Minda was right, I don't want 710 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:05,920 Speaker 4: to be called a woman and I don't and. 711 00:37:05,960 --> 00:37:10,279 Speaker 3: Trans women shouldn't be included in being a woman, right uh. 712 00:37:10,440 --> 00:37:14,759 Speaker 4: And then more importantly, it wasn't like I don't think 713 00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:17,960 Speaker 4: it is like when black women say I'm not I 714 00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,879 Speaker 4: don't want to be included in basically feminism because it's 715 00:37:20,920 --> 00:37:24,160 Speaker 4: a white thing, because they're not saying I'm not a woman, 716 00:37:25,120 --> 00:37:27,240 Speaker 4: you know what I mean? Like the like the default 717 00:37:27,280 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 4: is still you get like you're in this group and 718 00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:33,080 Speaker 4: you're a branch of this group. And Tima Mina's comments 719 00:37:33,160 --> 00:37:36,840 Speaker 4: were very much no, you're your other You're not a 720 00:37:36,920 --> 00:37:41,120 Speaker 4: woman period, like to be to couch it in nice 721 00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,520 Speaker 4: flowery language, cool, but the same end of the day, 722 00:37:43,719 --> 00:37:46,640 Speaker 4: you cannot be in this group. And when there are 723 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:51,280 Speaker 4: women who are trans who are saying no, that was wrong, 724 00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:54,680 Speaker 4: I don't understand how people can just be like, well 725 00:37:54,719 --> 00:37:57,200 Speaker 4: fuck those women essentially, and I don't and I would 726 00:37:57,400 --> 00:38:00,759 Speaker 4: have to see what the like I said, I would 727 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:03,759 Speaker 4: have to see like trans women who are saying this. 728 00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:07,800 Speaker 4: I agree with him a mind that we're not in 729 00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:10,440 Speaker 4: this group before just saying something like that, because I 730 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,400 Speaker 4: haven't seen anything and I've been looking for different opinions 731 00:38:13,440 --> 00:38:15,359 Speaker 4: and reading different things on it, but I just haven't 732 00:38:15,400 --> 00:38:17,759 Speaker 4: seen anybody express that. 733 00:38:18,239 --> 00:38:22,600 Speaker 2: Yeah, And even the women that says that they're trans women, 734 00:38:22,719 --> 00:38:27,320 Speaker 2: at the end, they still say women. So when people 735 00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:31,640 Speaker 2: speak across the board in general, they just go women, right, 736 00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:35,719 Speaker 2: you know, And it is a sub section of the 737 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:41,440 Speaker 2: group of women. And I do understand that women go, hey, 738 00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,880 Speaker 2: I'm a black woman, as you woman. You know that 739 00:38:44,040 --> 00:38:46,280 Speaker 2: a trans woman broke it down like that, that's fine, 740 00:38:46,840 --> 00:38:48,880 Speaker 2: But behind. 741 00:38:48,640 --> 00:38:52,000 Speaker 5: Whatever description you want to give yourself is the term. 742 00:38:52,000 --> 00:38:53,600 Speaker 3: Women, right. 743 00:38:53,680 --> 00:38:56,239 Speaker 5: And the thing is, yes, within the group. 744 00:38:56,800 --> 00:38:59,880 Speaker 2: People do want specific identities and they do want to 745 00:39:00,480 --> 00:39:03,200 Speaker 2: to stand out in their own unique ways, and there's 746 00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:05,759 Speaker 2: nothing wrong with that at all. And the problem is 747 00:39:05,840 --> 00:39:08,640 Speaker 2: that what she what she says is that she want 748 00:39:08,719 --> 00:39:11,200 Speaker 2: to just kick them completely out of the group, because 749 00:39:11,200 --> 00:39:13,080 Speaker 2: these women are still up saying I'm a trans woman. 750 00:39:13,239 --> 00:39:15,279 Speaker 5: They don't say I am not a woman. They just 751 00:39:15,360 --> 00:39:21,000 Speaker 5: said I am a transwoman. Like I distinguish a difference between. 752 00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:21,440 Speaker 3: That, right. 753 00:39:22,239 --> 00:39:24,800 Speaker 4: It's like if somebody said I'm a black woman, we 754 00:39:24,840 --> 00:39:26,960 Speaker 4: don't go, well, you're not a woman then, right, Like 755 00:39:27,080 --> 00:39:29,320 Speaker 4: that's a whole different group. Like if someone you know, 756 00:39:29,719 --> 00:39:32,800 Speaker 4: if someone were to say, well, black women aren't women, 757 00:39:33,080 --> 00:39:35,560 Speaker 4: they're black women, we'd be like, the fuck do you 758 00:39:35,680 --> 00:39:40,120 Speaker 4: mean by that?

And like I said, once again, 764 00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:57,279 Speaker 4: kind of just erasist the idea that this would ever 765 00:39:57,320 --> 00:39:59,080 Speaker 4: happen with manhood as. 766 00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,120 Speaker 3: Well, you know, So I don't know. 767 00:40:01,239 --> 00:40:03,520 Speaker 4: It's just like I said, it's it's definitely complicated, and 768 00:40:03,560 --> 00:40:06,319 Speaker 4: I definitely understand that there's gonna be people that view 769 00:40:06,400 --> 00:40:08,960 Speaker 4: it differently, but a lot of people seem to be 770 00:40:09,120 --> 00:40:11,480 Speaker 4: kind of talking over rather. 771 00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,520 Speaker 3: Than letting people talk for themselves. 772 00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:18,319 Speaker 4: And like I said, I just haven't read the any 773 00:40:18,600 --> 00:40:21,200 Speaker 4: I haven't read a trans woman who has spoken about 774 00:40:22,160 --> 00:40:23,480 Speaker 4: Tima Minda's comments and. 775 00:40:23,560 --> 00:40:28,080 Speaker 3: Said I agree with her and this is why she's 776 00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:29,839 Speaker 3: right now.

Even you know, 779 00:40:35,480 --> 00:40:37,480 Speaker 4: I've seen a lot of CIS people try to say that, 780 00:40:39,320 --> 00:40:42,360 Speaker 4: you know, to speak like to say it like to 781 00:40:42,480 --> 00:40:45,640 Speaker 4: defend her basically, which I think has a lot more 782 00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:47,319 Speaker 4: to do with her being a lot of people's fave 783 00:40:47,920 --> 00:40:48,520 Speaker 4: or anything else. 784 00:40:48,520 --> 00:40:49,319 Speaker 3: Because if this had. 785 00:40:49,239 --> 00:40:53,200 Speaker 4: Been somebody, Yeah, this has been somebody they didn't like. 786 00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,400 Speaker 4: I feel like they would be like, oh na, fuck that. 787 00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 4: Like if if this would have been Tyree's talking about 788 00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:01,000 Speaker 4: trans women, it's trans women and women are women. 789 00:41:00,920 --> 00:41:02,480 Speaker 3: People have been like, man, what the fuck are you 790 00:41:02,560 --> 00:41:03,040 Speaker 3: talking about? 791 00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:05,719 Speaker 2: You know?

But I 800 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,480 Speaker 4: don't think saying that a CIS women's experience is different 801 00:41:28,480 --> 00:41:32,120 Speaker 4: than a trans woman's attempting to speak for them. I 802 00:41:32,200 --> 00:41:35,439 Speaker 4: don't think we're saying that either. I think everybody's saying 803 00:41:35,480 --> 00:41:36,680 Speaker 4: that the experience is very. 804 00:41:38,360 --> 00:41:38,600 Speaker 2: Yeah. 805 00:41:38,920 --> 00:41:41,600 Speaker 4: I think, yeah, I'm not saying that they're not the same, right, 806 00:41:41,880 --> 00:41:45,359 Speaker 4: I feel like the same, Yeah, I'm not. I mean, yeah, 807 00:41:45,400 --> 00:41:47,279 Speaker 4: I'm not saying that the experiences are the same. I'm 808 00:41:47,320 --> 00:41:49,359 Speaker 4: just saying no to women's experiences are. 809 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,040 Speaker 3: The same, but we don't then go and that's why 810 00:41:53,080 --> 00:41:53,800 Speaker 3: you're not a woman. 811 00:41:54,080 --> 00:41:54,200 Speaker 6: Right. 812 00:41:55,440 --> 00:41:57,680 Speaker 4: However, I can also agree that while many people have 813 00:41:57,800 --> 00:42:00,759 Speaker 4: explained that to be Adichi's point, that is not what 814 00:42:00,880 --> 00:42:03,200 Speaker 4: she said. Like black women and white women, that are 815 00:42:03,239 --> 00:42:05,480 Speaker 4: experiences that united as women, and there are differences. There 816 00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,000 Speaker 4: are privileges that cists women have that trands do not, 817 00:42:08,480 --> 00:42:12,760 Speaker 4: and I thought LaVerne's response to Adichi's comments perfectly captured 818 00:42:12,800 --> 00:42:16,200 Speaker 4: the complexity of intersectional identity. I at least appreciate the 819 00:42:16,280 --> 00:42:18,720 Speaker 4: various respectives from both trans assists women on the subject 820 00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:22,400 Speaker 4: and how they have informed my understanding of my position 821 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:26,640 Speaker 4: as a black woman.

There were loose braids on the ground, and 915 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,959 Speaker 4: a boy was clown in Tasha and picking up her hair, saying, 916 00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:28,480 Speaker 4: you forgot something, man. 917 00:46:28,600 --> 00:46:29,240 Speaker 3: That was funny. 918 00:46:29,520 --> 00:46:31,719 Speaker 4: But Tasha only got in school suspension and Anna got 919 00:46:31,760 --> 00:46:33,879 Speaker 4: a whole week because she was told that she took 920 00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:36,839 Speaker 4: it too far.

Sometimes bullies need to 926 00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:50,640 Speaker 4: be taught a lesson before they leave you alone. I 927 00:46:50,719 --> 00:46:53,560 Speaker 4: bet that kids bully in North Carolina school will talk 928 00:46:53,600 --> 00:46:55,520 Speaker 4: shit behind that kid's back, but you won't say it 929 00:46:55,560 --> 00:46:56,080 Speaker 4: to his face. 930 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,680 Speaker 3: Yep, rob would you just lead people? 931 00:47:00,239 --> 00:47:03,080 Speaker 2: That's the thing, because the problem is that you persist. 932 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:07,160 Speaker 2: Persists persists because I maybe I'm on fashioned.

Sometimes it's not even ass whooping. 937 00:47:18,400 --> 00:47:21,319 Speaker 2: Nobody has showed you that there are boundaries. That's only 938 00:47:21,440 --> 00:47:26,200 Speaker 2: so far you can go. And if you've never been taught, 939 00:47:26,239 --> 00:47:29,160 Speaker 2: that's only so far you can go. Somebody gonna teach 940 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:30,759 Speaker 2: you that lesson, and it's not gonna be in the 941 00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:33,640 Speaker 2: results that you think it can be in and it's 942 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:36,040 Speaker 2: sad for some people that end result is down for 943 00:47:36,600 --> 00:47:38,360 Speaker 2: you know, you just hope you get an ass whooping. 944 00:47:38,440 --> 00:47:40,480 Speaker 2: But sometimes some people are all fuck you and they'll 945 00:47:40,520 --> 00:47:44,279 Speaker 2: take your life.

They might not get 1179 00:58:16,280 --> 00:58:19,840 Speaker 4: the opinion that is the most inflammatory, honest opinion that 1180 00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:22,280 Speaker 4: you have. You might give the opinion of I want 1181 00:58:22,320 --> 00:58:24,160 Speaker 4: to keep working here tomorrow and I need a check. 1182 00:58:24,760 --> 00:58:27,400 Speaker 4: So that's kind of how his answer sounding. Now maybe 1183 00:58:27,400 --> 00:58:30,720 Speaker 4: that's his genuine opinion, but it also is like it 1184 00:58:30,800 --> 00:58:33,360 Speaker 4: feels like you're just going to the outsourcing the black 1185 00:58:33,400 --> 00:58:38,080 Speaker 4: friend cosign on this, which, yeah, it's interesting, you know, 1186 00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:40,000 Speaker 4: and it's not like black people are. 1187 00:58:39,960 --> 00:58:43,240 Speaker 3: Some small group of you know, when it comes to. 1188 00:58:44,960 --> 00:58:48,360 Speaker 4: Liberals and democratic politics, like you could definitely have somebody 1189 00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:52,000 Speaker 4: on that, you know, that can speak on these things. 1190 00:58:53,440 --> 00:58:57,160 Speaker 3: All right. I quit listening well before the election was over. 1191 00:58:57,840 --> 00:58:59,600 Speaker 4: After y'all talked about it, I figured I'll listen to 1192 00:58:59,640 --> 00:59:02,000 Speaker 4: the show in a surprise prize. The first episode I 1193 00:59:02,080 --> 00:59:04,880 Speaker 4: listened to happened to have Keisha Zola and they were 1194 00:59:04,920 --> 00:59:07,400 Speaker 4: talking about Mike Brown. Now I'm not saying y'all single 1195 00:59:07,440 --> 00:59:10,880 Speaker 4: handley fixed that podcast, but I'm not not saying it either. 1196 00:59:11,160 --> 00:59:15,160 Speaker 4: I can't take credit for that. I can't take credit 1197 00:59:15,200 --> 00:59:20,640 Speaker 4: for anybody else's podcast. But that's dope, if you know, 1198 00:59:21,360 --> 00:59:24,360 Speaker 4: you know, especially and that's another thing if if it's 1199 00:59:24,480 --> 00:59:29,560 Speaker 4: now Allison's podcast Allison kill Kenny, I would not be 1200 00:59:29,680 --> 00:59:32,920 Speaker 4: shocked if they got more guested on and guests of 1201 00:59:32,960 --> 00:59:39,560 Speaker 4: different perspectives, because one, I think women are just by nature. 1202 00:59:39,400 --> 00:59:41,880 Speaker 3: More intersectional than the men in general. 1203 00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:45,520 Speaker 4: Forced to be right, right, but but still it's I 1204 00:59:45,560 --> 00:59:51,400 Speaker 4: think it's improves your product. And then two, I think 1205 00:59:51,760 --> 00:59:53,640 Speaker 4: I wouldn't be shocked if you want to make an effort, 1206 00:59:54,040 --> 00:59:56,320 Speaker 4: you know, in a way that you might not have. 1207 00:59:56,560 --> 00:59:58,200 Speaker 4: And I think people don't want to give up or 1208 00:59:58,240 --> 01:00:02,040 Speaker 4: get off of their platform, which which I understand. If 1209 01:00:02,080 --> 01:00:05,000 Speaker 4: you built a platform, it is yours first. It is 1210 01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:09,720 Speaker 4: not for the world, and if it fails or succeeds, 1211 01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,800 Speaker 4: that firstly is going to go on you, which I 1212 01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:15,000 Speaker 4: completely understand as a person, as two people that have 1213 01:00:15,080 --> 01:00:19,080 Speaker 4: a platform, completely understand the idea of like the people 1214 01:00:19,120 --> 01:00:22,280 Speaker 4: are here from my thoughts and opinions. But at the 1215 01:00:22,360 --> 01:00:25,560 Speaker 4: same time, if you do have guests and that is 1216 01:00:25,640 --> 01:00:28,080 Speaker 4: a thing that you do, it, I guess it is 1217 01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,919 Speaker 4: telling if you're just like, we're never gonna have black 1218 01:00:30,960 --> 01:00:34,040 Speaker 4: people want to discuss this shit, or you know whatever. 1219 01:00:34,280 --> 01:00:36,840 Speaker 4: You know, Although I like I said, they do a 1220 01:00:36,920 --> 01:00:39,360 Speaker 4: completely different type of show, like they do a political 1221 01:00:39,440 --> 01:00:42,960 Speaker 4: show specifically about that shit. You know, I understand like 1222 01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,680 Speaker 4: if I listen like a comedy podcast and you know, 1223 01:00:46,920 --> 01:00:50,920 Speaker 4: they've only just they just have on fucking comedians, or 1224 01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:56,840 Speaker 4: if I listen to, uh, for example, if I listen 1225 01:00:56,880 --> 01:00:59,600 Speaker 4: to a sports show and they just have fucking dude, 1226 01:00:59,640 --> 01:01:02,680 Speaker 4: bro and shit, I understand, like they're not trying to 1227 01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:05,280 Speaker 4: be the intersection on woke and all that shit. But 1228 01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:10,760 Speaker 4: I think if your political podcast is about having all 1229 01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:14,240 Speaker 4: these different perspectives and just nobody ever happens to be 1230 01:01:14,440 --> 01:01:17,080 Speaker 4: on to give that perspective, or you don't reading things 1231 01:01:17,120 --> 01:01:19,240 Speaker 4: from that perspective, or you're not helping spread the word 1232 01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:21,600 Speaker 4: for people from that perspective, it does seem a. 1233 01:01:21,680 --> 01:01:24,680 Speaker 3: Bit weird, you know, and exclusionary. 1234 01:01:26,360 --> 01:01:29,160 Speaker 4: But at the same time, like I said, it could 1235 01:01:29,280 --> 01:01:32,360 Speaker 4: just be that they weren't comfortable with that, or maybe 1236 01:01:32,520 --> 01:01:34,280 Speaker 4: just the ones you listened to, maybe they just didn't 1237 01:01:34,920 --> 01:01:36,560 Speaker 4: the ones you heard, they didn't have them on there 1238 01:01:36,640 --> 01:01:39,160 Speaker 4: or whatever. But I think that shit does help with 1239 01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:41,560 Speaker 4: blind spots and stuff. Having people in your community and 1240 01:01:41,720 --> 01:01:43,920 Speaker 4: your fans and stuff they can kind of write in 1241 01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,760 Speaker 4: the help because there were so many white podcasts I 1242 01:01:47,840 --> 01:01:51,520 Speaker 4: can't listen to on politics because I remember listening to 1243 01:01:51,560 --> 01:01:53,920 Speaker 4: them take Trump as a joke, right, you know. 1244 01:01:54,160 --> 01:01:55,720 Speaker 3: I still remember the first and. 1245 01:01:55,840 --> 01:01:58,160 Speaker 4: Only episode of Abe Lincoln's Top Hat I listened to, 1246 01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:01,560 Speaker 4: where they were shit, you know, Hillary Clinton and talking 1247 01:02:01,560 --> 01:02:03,120 Speaker 4: about how interesting it would be to sit in the 1248 01:02:03,200 --> 01:02:05,680 Speaker 4: room with Donald Trump, and I thought, this is and 1249 01:02:05,680 --> 01:02:07,560 Speaker 4: they were supposed to be this liberal podcast. 1250 01:02:07,320 --> 01:02:09,200 Speaker 3: Was like, this is why the fuck he's gonna win, 1251 01:02:10,000 --> 01:02:10,560 Speaker 3: you know what I mean? 1252 01:02:10,600 --> 01:02:12,800 Speaker 4: And that shit was like March of last year, and 1253 01:02:12,920 --> 01:02:15,280 Speaker 4: I was like, man, white people just are not ready 1254 01:02:16,040 --> 01:02:18,240 Speaker 4: to fight this on any level. 1255 01:02:18,440 --> 01:02:19,080 Speaker 5: Like he's. 1256 01:02:20,400 --> 01:02:22,760 Speaker 3: Yeah, it has to get to an emergency status before. 1257 01:02:22,520 --> 01:02:25,200 Speaker 2: They can do that, right, And it's always an emergency 1258 01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:28,200 Speaker 2: for black people, brown people and minorities and you know, 1259 01:02:28,760 --> 01:02:32,440 Speaker 2: and women.

This is how 1469 01:11:37,479 --> 01:11:39,479 Speaker 4: you really feel about me, but under the name of 1470 01:11:39,560 --> 01:11:42,360 Speaker 4: quote unquote tolerance, you just hold back but secretly just 1471 01:11:42,439 --> 01:11:43,360 Speaker 4: how you really feel. 1472 01:11:43,120 --> 01:11:44,040 Speaker 3: About all gay people. 1473 01:11:44,600 --> 01:11:46,800 Speaker 4: And he just went on and on about being a 1474 01:11:46,880 --> 01:11:49,639 Speaker 4: real victim and everybody's two PC and all this shit 1475 01:11:50,240 --> 01:11:54,080 Speaker 4: and always won't talk your shit right right, And that's 1476 01:11:54,160 --> 01:11:56,360 Speaker 4: kind of how I think some of this shit comes off, 1477 01:11:56,439 --> 01:11:59,960 Speaker 4: where people are like, I'm the real victim here because 1478 01:12:00,160 --> 01:12:03,519 Speaker 4: I can't basically talk for you because people are saying, look, 1479 01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:05,599 Speaker 4: that's not my experience and what you're saying is wrong. 1480 01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:08,160 Speaker 4: And they're like, no, now see, you guys, this is 1481 01:12:08,200 --> 01:12:09,640 Speaker 4: where I draw the line, and this is why I 1482 01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,040 Speaker 4: can't see you know that kind of shit anyway. 1483 01:12:12,160 --> 01:12:14,120 Speaker 3: But mal seventy three said, it seems pretty simple to me. 1484 01:12:14,200 --> 01:12:17,360 Speaker 4: When I first saw Tima Amanda's comments, I thought they 1485 01:12:17,439 --> 01:12:20,120 Speaker 4: sounded reasonable until I saw what the trans women I 1486 01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:22,400 Speaker 4: follow on Twitter were saying. These are the people who 1487 01:12:22,479 --> 01:12:24,479 Speaker 4: live that life, and if they say those comments are 1488 01:12:24,600 --> 01:12:27,719 Speaker 4: unreasonable and hurtful, it's a rap. The comments aren't reasonable 1489 01:12:27,720 --> 01:12:30,360 Speaker 4: and hurtful. No debate necessary, especially for people of color 1490 01:12:30,640 --> 01:12:32,879 Speaker 4: who have to deal with others in validating not concerns 1491 01:12:32,880 --> 01:12:34,120 Speaker 4: about racist shit daily. 1492 01:12:35,360 --> 01:12:35,559 Speaker 3: Yeah. 1493 01:12:35,600 --> 01:12:37,160 Speaker 4: I guess that's the other thing, because the way I 1494 01:12:37,240 --> 01:12:40,840 Speaker 4: see the world, I just see like parallels and shit 1495 01:12:40,960 --> 01:12:43,120 Speaker 4: like that. So I'm just like, well, that feels the 1496 01:12:43,200 --> 01:12:47,720 Speaker 4: way that it feels when we say, you know, like 1497 01:12:47,760 --> 01:12:50,840 Speaker 4: when white people say shit like, well, you know, in 1498 01:12:50,880 --> 01:12:52,960 Speaker 4: the inner city, these black kids are killing each other 1499 01:12:53,000 --> 01:12:55,320 Speaker 4: and that's why they need law and order, and all 1500 01:12:55,400 --> 01:12:57,120 Speaker 4: these black people speak up and say that's not. 1501 01:12:57,400 --> 01:12:59,719 Speaker 3: Our experience and that's not true. 1502 01:12:59,880 --> 01:13:02,880 Speaker 4: Like what you're saying is going to harm people and 1503 01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:07,800 Speaker 4: you don't know our lives, like, and they're like, shut 1504 01:13:07,840 --> 01:13:09,160 Speaker 4: the fuck up. These black people don't know what they're 1505 01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:11,680 Speaker 4: talking about. Just keep talking over them and saying this 1506 01:13:11,840 --> 01:13:12,719 Speaker 4: is what they're experiencing. 1507 01:13:13,120 --> 01:13:15,360 Speaker 3: It feels a bit like that, you know. Now, I 1508 01:13:15,439 --> 01:13:17,120 Speaker 3: can't say it's a one to one thing. 1509 01:13:17,160 --> 01:13:21,320 Speaker 4: Obviously, but it feels a lot like when white people 1510 01:13:21,400 --> 01:13:25,080 Speaker 4: just keep having this discussion over the voices of black 1511 01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:27,840 Speaker 4: people that are already telling you, like, no, let me 1512 01:13:27,920 --> 01:13:30,800 Speaker 4: speak for myself. So I don't know, it seems more 1513 01:13:30,880 --> 01:13:33,000 Speaker 4: simple to like, I know those cases. I wish people 1514 01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:34,800 Speaker 4: would just go to black voices and let them speak 1515 01:13:34,800 --> 01:13:37,680 Speaker 4: for themselves. I feel like that's what should happen here too. 1516 01:13:38,520 --> 01:13:40,800 Speaker 4: Upon further reflection of the comments, I realized I should 1517 01:13:40,800 --> 01:13:42,680 Speaker 4: have seen them for the bullshit that they are at 1518 01:13:42,720 --> 01:13:44,800 Speaker 4: a home in high school who is very effeminate. Please 1519 01:13:44,880 --> 01:13:46,360 Speaker 4: note that I'm not applying this is the same as 1520 01:13:46,400 --> 01:13:49,120 Speaker 4: being transd This is back in Jamaica, which as we 1521 01:13:49,160 --> 01:13:51,880 Speaker 4: all know, is extremely homophobic. Any male privilege he enjoyed 1522 01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:54,000 Speaker 4: was undercut by how he was treated by other boys. 1523 01:13:54,400 --> 01:13:57,240 Speaker 4: This notion that you can just use the Wakowskis and 1524 01:13:57,400 --> 01:14:00,840 Speaker 4: Caitlyn Jenner as representatives of the typical trans experience. It's 1525 01:14:00,920 --> 01:14:04,160 Speaker 4: like saying Jaden and Willow Smith have the typical black experience. Yeah, 1526 01:14:04,200 --> 01:14:06,479 Speaker 4: it's a black experience, but it's not a typical one. 1527 01:14:06,880 --> 01:14:08,840 Speaker 4: I love her, but she fucked up. She has this 1528 01:14:08,920 --> 01:14:11,000 Speaker 4: blind spot and showed it, and I would hope she 1529 01:14:11,080 --> 01:14:13,760 Speaker 4: recognizes it and comes around. Sadly, trans people simply can't 1530 01:14:13,760 --> 01:14:17,000 Speaker 4: afford to wait around and hope people evolved someday. Every 1531 01:14:17,120 --> 01:14:19,519 Speaker 4: day there's some seems to be news of a story 1532 01:14:19,560 --> 01:14:22,519 Speaker 4: of transferm and being murdered, then misgendered and death. It 1533 01:14:22,640 --> 01:14:24,760 Speaker 4: may be academic for me, but it's life and death 1534 01:14:24,800 --> 01:14:27,000 Speaker 4: for them. Till my man, that definitely gets in. It's 1535 01:14:27,080 --> 01:14:28,519 Speaker 4: not me, it's you for this week. 1536 01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:33,479 Speaker 3: Keep doing your thing. Yeah, Like it's sad that it's 1537 01:14:36,439 --> 01:14:37,200 Speaker 3: it's just a fact. 1538 01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:39,000 Speaker 4: I really think for a lot of people, it's just 1539 01:14:39,080 --> 01:14:42,519 Speaker 4: the fact that she's they fave, right. It's sad that 1540 01:14:42,640 --> 01:14:44,840 Speaker 4: that's all it takes for people. But that was like 1541 01:14:44,960 --> 01:14:46,880 Speaker 4: a recurrent theme last week for me. It was just 1542 01:14:47,439 --> 01:14:50,840 Speaker 4: realizing how many people just when it's day fave, all 1543 01:14:50,880 --> 01:14:52,719 Speaker 4: the shit just goes out the window. It just don't 1544 01:14:52,760 --> 01:14:57,679 Speaker 4: matter which is you know which is unfortunate. Man already 1545 01:14:57,680 --> 01:15:01,920 Speaker 4: says Yah, Karen, I'm still here for your beauty supply store. 1546 01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:05,719 Speaker 4: Rant thread read the story in Charlotte is absolutely ridiculous 1547 01:15:05,760 --> 01:15:09,559 Speaker 4: and completely unnecessary. Yeah, that was a stop owner agent 1548 01:15:09,600 --> 01:15:11,920 Speaker 4: stop owner that put literally put a black woman in 1549 01:15:11,960 --> 01:15:13,960 Speaker 4: the choke hold over five hours of nine nine cents 1550 01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:14,800 Speaker 4: with her eyelashes. 1551 01:15:14,840 --> 01:15:17,599 Speaker 3: He claims she stole, which there's no proof of her stealing. 1552 01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:22,200 Speaker 4: He had no right to jump on that woman like that, 1553 01:15:22,439 --> 01:15:24,200 Speaker 4: and now that he's been caught, he wants to act 1554 01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:28,240 Speaker 4: remorseful and apologetic. Everything you described exactly what I have experienced, 1555 01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:31,519 Speaker 4: from taller cash registers, to mirrors everywhere, to being monitored 1556 01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:33,800 Speaker 4: by the employees even though I have shopped there for years. 1557 01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:37,800 Speaker 4: Tackling someone over some eyelashes as wild as fuck.

Probably not well illustrated 1730 01:23:31,400 --> 01:23:33,600 Speaker 4: by using get Out, which is a black production. 1731 01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:34,040 Speaker 3: As an example. 1732 01:23:34,840 --> 01:23:36,799 Speaker 4: The US and Europe seen to work on the principle 1733 01:23:36,880 --> 01:23:40,519 Speaker 4: that those Niggers from over there are better than our 1734 01:23:40,680 --> 01:23:43,479 Speaker 4: niggers over here. But by that I mean that black 1735 01:23:43,520 --> 01:23:45,280 Speaker 4: people from elsewhere seen to be treated a lot better 1736 01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:47,840 Speaker 4: than homegrown ones. I recentally read an essay written by 1737 01:23:47,920 --> 01:23:50,920 Speaker 4: Malcolm Gladwell back in nineteen ninety six that explored while 1738 01:23:50,960 --> 01:23:53,680 Speaker 4: West Indians seem to do better than American blacks in 1739 01:23:53,760 --> 01:23:57,160 Speaker 4: the New York area, further study showed that white people 1740 01:23:57,360 --> 01:24:00,160 Speaker 4: in hiring positions told themselves that these West Indians had 1741 01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:03,280 Speaker 4: a better work ethic than local blacks. They seem to 1742 01:24:03,360 --> 01:24:06,479 Speaker 4: have that perception for no other reason than that the 1743 01:24:06,600 --> 01:24:11,400 Speaker 4: immigrants that the immigrants were from somewhere else. Ironically, though, 1744 01:24:11,439 --> 01:24:13,960 Speaker 4: in Toronto, where they had where there have been an 1745 01:24:14,000 --> 01:24:15,720 Speaker 4: explosion of the black population. 1746 01:24:15,400 --> 01:24:16,360 Speaker 3: In the nineteen sixties. 1747 01:24:16,920 --> 01:24:20,639 Speaker 4: When West Indians started moving here in DROs, they they're 1748 01:24:20,680 --> 01:24:23,200 Speaker 4: in DROs. They were seen as loud, lazy, and possessing 1749 01:24:23,240 --> 01:24:26,200 Speaker 4: a bad work ethic. By the nineties, on the flip 1750 01:24:26,280 --> 01:24:29,200 Speaker 4: side and Europe Black Americans are treated with deference, especially 1751 01:24:29,280 --> 01:24:32,080 Speaker 4: in Paris and London. Since the twenties, African Americans like 1752 01:24:32,200 --> 01:24:35,439 Speaker 4: Josephine Baker and James bad Went immigrated to Europe to 1753 01:24:35,600 --> 01:24:38,200 Speaker 4: find that they were treated like royalty compared to the 1754 01:24:38,200 --> 01:24:41,200 Speaker 4: segregation and shit they left behind. Today, black tourists are 1755 01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:43,600 Speaker 4: not treated like black locals who face the type of 1756 01:24:43,800 --> 01:24:46,479 Speaker 4: shit black people face back in the States. It brings 1757 01:24:46,520 --> 01:24:49,080 Speaker 4: to my understanding ovations that Baldwin got at Oxford back 1758 01:24:49,120 --> 01:24:49,519 Speaker 4: in the day. 1759 01:24:50,160 --> 01:24:53,439 Speaker 3: Yep, yep.

We try. Were trying to do a 2311 01:52:15,720 --> 01:52:16,240 Speaker 3: little something. 2312 01:52:16,479 --> 01:52:20,479 Speaker 2: I'm living and learning, honey, because I've come a long 2313 01:52:20,880 --> 01:52:25,040 Speaker 2: way from what I know now to what I used 2314 01:52:25,080 --> 01:52:30,680 Speaker 2: to know, challenging myself, wanting to learn more, wanting not 2315 01:52:30,840 --> 01:52:34,720 Speaker 2: to be ignorant, not to say ignorant shit, you know. 2316 01:52:35,520 --> 01:52:38,080 Speaker 5: Uh, and it's just a process and. 2317 01:52:38,840 --> 01:52:43,920 Speaker 2: Just even knowing that you are going to say ignorant 2318 01:52:43,920 --> 01:52:48,600 Speaker 2: shit sometimes, but willing to put your pride to the 2319 01:52:48,720 --> 01:52:51,640 Speaker 2: side to say, okay, I hear you, and I understand, 2320 01:52:51,760 --> 01:52:54,479 Speaker 2: and I will do better moving forward. I think that's 2321 01:52:54,479 --> 01:52:56,320 Speaker 2: a lot of times the problem people come out and 2322 01:52:56,400 --> 01:52:58,720 Speaker 2: that they say ignorant ship then when they're challenged on it, 2323 01:52:58,760 --> 01:53:01,479 Speaker 2: instead of them going, you know what, you're right, especially 2324 01:53:01,520 --> 01:53:04,600 Speaker 2: if people are willing to come have a nuanced conversation 2325 01:53:04,760 --> 01:53:07,280 Speaker 2: with you, like when we were talking to resign this, 2326 01:53:07,439 --> 01:53:09,160 Speaker 2: but you were saying a lot of that nuance is gone. 2327 01:53:09,160 --> 01:53:11,360 Speaker 2: People don't want to do that. It's either you got 2328 01:53:11,439 --> 01:53:13,680 Speaker 2: to go hard and you go okay. I understand that, 2329 01:53:13,880 --> 01:53:16,759 Speaker 2: but there is always in most things that's in middle ground. 2330 01:53:16,800 --> 01:53:19,040 Speaker 2: People don't want the middle ground either high or low 2331 01:53:19,120 --> 01:53:19,840 Speaker 2: or hot to cold. 2332 01:53:20,479 --> 01:53:26,080 Speaker 5: And I think that growing helps you articulate better to 2333 01:53:26,160 --> 01:53:26,639 Speaker 5: other people. 2334 01:53:27,080 --> 01:53:30,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, I think part of this is just you gotta 2335 01:53:31,000 --> 01:53:32,360 Speaker 3: in a way, you just got to know what you 2336 01:53:32,439 --> 01:53:32,760 Speaker 3: don't know. 2337 01:53:33,120 --> 01:53:35,240 Speaker 4: Like I don't know everything, and I definitely don't know 2338 01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:37,599 Speaker 4: other people's lives and shit. 2339 01:53:37,760 --> 01:53:43,080 Speaker 3: But it doesn't seem that difficult to believe people on 2340 01:53:43,400 --> 01:53:44,680 Speaker 3: a lot of this stuff, you know. 2341 01:53:44,880 --> 01:53:48,439 Speaker 4: Like and that's gonna be diversity of voices, like there's 2342 01:53:48,479 --> 01:53:51,360 Speaker 4: black you know, Like the person said, well what about earlier, 2343 01:53:51,479 --> 01:53:55,000 Speaker 4: Like well what about trans people that are like trans 2344 01:53:55,080 --> 01:53:55,640 Speaker 4: woman is. 2345 01:53:55,760 --> 01:53:59,040 Speaker 3: Separate from just being a woman, and I don't want 2346 01:53:59,080 --> 01:54:00,960 Speaker 3: to be in that group. And I'm not a woman. 2347 01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:03,479 Speaker 4: I'm a trans woman. Like I said, I haven't run 2348 01:54:03,520 --> 01:54:07,680 Speaker 4: across them. But you know, that's one way of approaching it. 2349 01:54:08,360 --> 01:54:10,640 Speaker 4: I'd be willing to listen to someone who said that. 2350 01:54:10,880 --> 01:54:14,360 Speaker 4: I mean, it's not my experience to tell them how 2351 01:54:14,400 --> 01:54:17,120 Speaker 4: to feel. But the same way that I'm sure in 2352 01:54:17,240 --> 01:54:20,160 Speaker 4: every group that's diversity, there's black people that over Republican 2353 01:54:20,320 --> 01:54:23,080 Speaker 4: and black people that agree with a lot of shit 2354 01:54:23,120 --> 01:54:26,280 Speaker 4: that's anti black, you know, but they don't speak for 2355 01:54:26,400 --> 01:54:29,280 Speaker 4: the typical experience of what it is to be black 2356 01:54:29,320 --> 01:54:33,360 Speaker 4: in this country, you know. So you know, it doesn't 2357 01:54:33,400 --> 01:54:38,400 Speaker 4: cost me anything to believe somebody should be treated equal 2358 01:54:38,920 --> 01:54:42,040 Speaker 4: or at least have their voice or it just it 2359 01:54:42,160 --> 01:54:46,280 Speaker 4: always seems like people feel like it's an attack on 2360 01:54:46,440 --> 01:54:50,200 Speaker 4: something for someone to want to be included, you know. 2361 01:54:50,360 --> 01:54:53,000 Speaker 4: And I guess in a way, maybe that's what privilege 2362 01:54:53,080 --> 01:54:55,880 Speaker 4: is is, Oh, I have to give up space for 2363 01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:59,200 Speaker 4: this other thing, so it's an attack on me because 2364 01:54:59,240 --> 01:55:01,400 Speaker 4: as far as I'm just learn, all this space belongs 2365 01:55:01,440 --> 01:55:05,480 Speaker 4: to me, So anything outside of that is attacking my space, 2366 01:55:05,560 --> 01:55:07,760 Speaker 4: you know. And I think that's how white people look 2367 01:55:07,840 --> 01:55:12,520 Speaker 4: at Oscar so white, and that's how you know, that's 2368 01:55:12,560 --> 01:55:18,360 Speaker 4: how people look at the Democratic Party when black people say, well, no, no, no, 2369 01:55:18,440 --> 01:55:21,880 Speaker 4: our needs aren't being met, you know. And then within 2370 01:55:21,960 --> 01:55:24,280 Speaker 4: all that, you still just have a diversity of voices 2371 01:55:24,280 --> 01:55:27,440 Speaker 4: in blackness that you know, argue back and forth too. 2372 01:55:27,600 --> 01:55:29,960 Speaker 3: Is never a clear cut one hundred percent one thing 2373 01:55:30,080 --> 01:55:31,400 Speaker 3: or the other. But it just seems like. 2374 01:55:33,600 --> 01:55:38,240 Speaker 4: It's harmless to listen or to at least say, this 2375 01:55:38,400 --> 01:55:40,320 Speaker 4: is what this person is saying. I don't need to 2376 01:55:40,360 --> 01:55:43,320 Speaker 4: fight them about it. It really wouldn't enhance my life 2377 01:55:43,600 --> 01:55:48,040 Speaker 4: in any way to to say trans women are not 2378 01:55:48,880 --> 01:55:52,560 Speaker 4: women and trans men are not men. That does nothing 2379 01:55:52,640 --> 01:55:55,240 Speaker 4: to help my life anyway, you know what I mean, 2380 01:55:55,360 --> 01:55:58,280 Speaker 4: And vice versa, it doesn't. The only thing the opposite 2381 01:55:58,400 --> 01:56:01,960 Speaker 4: does is just kind of enhance the idea of like 2382 01:56:02,680 --> 01:56:05,560 Speaker 4: what humanity and what gender and thing and all these 2383 01:56:05,640 --> 01:56:08,280 Speaker 4: labels and boxes we put on ourselves. Like that what 2384 01:56:08,920 --> 01:56:10,680 Speaker 4: taking people out of those boxes and the freedom that 2385 01:56:10,720 --> 01:56:13,120 Speaker 4: can mean for people. But other than that, you know, 2386 01:56:13,240 --> 01:56:15,400 Speaker 4: it doesn't like it's not gonna change the way I 2387 01:56:15,440 --> 01:56:18,440 Speaker 4: get paid. It's not a change my car need to 2388 01:56:18,480 --> 01:56:20,280 Speaker 4: go to the shop. Like it's not gonna change anything 2389 01:56:20,360 --> 01:56:23,280 Speaker 4: in my life. It's just people fight change very hard, 2390 01:56:24,600 --> 01:56:25,760 Speaker 4: all right, next us ma'am. 2391 01:56:27,560 --> 01:56:31,920 Speaker 10: Hey guys, this is Sierra aka Moms at Mom's Dread 2392 01:56:32,000 --> 01:56:34,320 Speaker 10: with Sweat.

It's everything for women, just 2586 02:06:05,160 --> 02:06:07,880 Speaker 4: don't be too much. And that seems to be just 2587 02:06:08,040 --> 02:06:10,480 Speaker 4: drilled down, down, down down down into the core of 2588 02:06:10,520 --> 02:06:14,200 Speaker 4: every woman's being or many women's being, and even undoing 2589 02:06:14,280 --> 02:06:16,800 Speaker 4: that I'm sure it's just like a fucking piece of work. 2590 02:06:16,880 --> 02:06:19,760 Speaker 4: And you know, I like, it's just I have a 2591 02:06:19,840 --> 02:06:23,800 Speaker 4: lot of most of my friends are women, most but 2592 02:06:24,040 --> 02:06:26,400 Speaker 4: but I still have you know, a good amount of 2593 02:06:26,440 --> 02:06:27,160 Speaker 4: friends that are guys. 2594 02:06:27,520 --> 02:06:31,800 Speaker 3: The conversations are just different. And and I say this as. 2595 02:06:31,720 --> 02:06:34,920 Speaker 4: Someone who tries to be mindful of not like I'm 2596 02:06:34,920 --> 02:06:37,200 Speaker 4: gonna speak over this woman or shut up, it's my 2597 02:06:37,320 --> 02:06:39,240 Speaker 4: turn to talk. Let me solve your problem for you, 2598 02:06:39,680 --> 02:06:41,720 Speaker 4: Like I try to be mindful of not being that 2599 02:06:41,880 --> 02:06:44,840 Speaker 4: kind of guy, but I think the expectation is still 2600 02:06:44,880 --> 02:06:48,120 Speaker 4: there because that's just how society is. And I and 2601 02:06:48,480 --> 02:06:51,840 Speaker 4: the second thing I was gonna say is I don't 2602 02:06:51,880 --> 02:06:57,040 Speaker 4: even think it's necessarily men actively seeking to do this 2603 02:06:57,200 --> 02:07:02,120 Speaker 4: to women, right, I think honestly everybody does it to 2604 02:07:02,200 --> 02:07:04,520 Speaker 4: women because something coming from a woman is of lesser 2605 02:07:04,600 --> 02:07:08,080 Speaker 4: value to most people, even other women. Like how many 2606 02:07:08,200 --> 02:07:12,760 Speaker 4: like how many women seek relationship advice from men even 2607 02:07:12,760 --> 02:07:13,320 Speaker 4: when those. 2608 02:07:13,160 --> 02:07:15,280 Speaker 3: Men ain't shit? Now you know what I mean? 2609 02:07:15,440 --> 02:07:18,600 Speaker 4: Like how many women will ask a dude it's a friend, 2610 02:07:18,680 --> 02:07:20,760 Speaker 4: and that even that dude, you know that dude ain't 2611 02:07:20,760 --> 02:07:23,240 Speaker 4: worth for damn.

I work in the addiction field at face 2960 02:24:18,360 --> 02:24:21,119 Speaker 4: at face value my community members. I consider the undesirables 2961 02:24:21,400 --> 02:24:23,680 Speaker 4: to most people across the board, from the senior citizen, 2962 02:24:23,879 --> 02:24:29,040 Speaker 4: Black Blue, Black Cover HIV plus along with ACV, ABC 2963 02:24:29,280 --> 02:24:33,800 Speaker 4: BBD at Ebola, Cavin Cat Daddy, career heroin addicts to 2964 02:24:33,920 --> 02:24:37,360 Speaker 4: the twenty something do face du bros at Capital b 2965 02:24:37,560 --> 02:24:41,600 Speaker 4: Becky trihards. There's something for everyone to hate, yay, but 2966 02:24:41,760 --> 02:24:44,000 Speaker 4: finding good in people isn't just a decision, but a 2967 02:24:44,040 --> 02:24:46,920 Speaker 4: gift or personality trait. It's a trait that needs to 2968 02:24:46,959 --> 02:24:50,439 Speaker 4: be honed, expanded, and contracted, which comes with experience. 2969 02:24:50,520 --> 02:24:51,360 Speaker 3: I think it's mastered. 2970 02:24:51,440 --> 02:24:54,680 Speaker 4: I mastered the art of being unbothered and dedicated my 2971 02:24:54,840 --> 02:24:57,360 Speaker 4: life to empathy in elementary school. I'm able to do 2972 02:24:57,480 --> 02:24:59,840 Speaker 4: what I do and feel what I feel because I 2973 02:25:00,000 --> 02:25:02,200 Speaker 4: cultivated my life to do it. I explained this to 2974 02:25:02,280 --> 02:25:05,760 Speaker 4: my child and clients, that I'm actively choosing to be nice, 2975 02:25:05,760 --> 02:25:08,040 Speaker 4: and I worked hard to maintain this niceness. 2976 02:25:08,120 --> 02:25:08,600 Speaker 3: Son untrue. 2977 02:25:08,640 --> 02:25:11,320 Speaker 4: I mean I've done this by taking things with a 2978 02:25:11,400 --> 02:25:13,480 Speaker 4: great of salt, because nine times out of ten people 2979 02:25:13,600 --> 02:25:16,119 Speaker 4: saltiness has nothing to do with me, and the source 2980 02:25:16,160 --> 02:25:17,920 Speaker 4: of the salt will come out sooner or later. 2981 02:25:18,520 --> 02:25:20,959 Speaker 3: Also, this may sound redundant, but it's not. Don't take 2982 02:25:21,000 --> 02:25:22,680 Speaker 3: everything to heart. If I take. 2983 02:25:22,560 --> 02:25:25,959 Speaker 4: Everyone's negativity or neediness to heart, I probably wouldn't be alive. 2984 02:25:26,360 --> 02:25:28,520 Speaker 4: It takes a balance of boundaries and commitment to the 2985 02:25:28,560 --> 02:25:32,440 Speaker 4: accountability on all fronts, compartmentalization, letting go, and the art 2986 02:25:32,480 --> 02:25:35,199 Speaker 4: of leaving things at work to survive, but the survival 2987 02:25:35,320 --> 02:25:38,600 Speaker 4: society is depending on us. In paths, there are clients 2988 02:25:38,640 --> 02:25:41,040 Speaker 4: that I genuinely just like as humans. But for the 2989 02:25:41,120 --> 02:25:45,560 Speaker 4: sake of being professionally a professional therapeutic, I have to 2990 02:25:45,680 --> 02:25:47,800 Speaker 4: find and expand on the good in them and not 2991 02:25:47,959 --> 02:25:50,360 Speaker 4: cause harm to them. I had the power to cause 2992 02:25:50,400 --> 02:25:52,680 Speaker 4: people to be homeless and or have their kids taken 2993 02:25:52,720 --> 02:25:54,960 Speaker 4: away from them, so I practice empathy to help me 2994 02:25:55,040 --> 02:25:59,000 Speaker 4: help them. But when it comes to the Torpeico tyrant, 2995 02:26:00,480 --> 02:26:03,800 Speaker 4: he's entertainment, but that entertainment needs to stay on NBC 2996 02:26:03,959 --> 02:26:06,600 Speaker 4: and Trump Towers. He shouldn't have even been permitted to 2997 02:26:06,720 --> 02:26:08,880 Speaker 4: end of the White House. Nevertheless, use it as his 2998 02:26:08,959 --> 02:26:12,320 Speaker 4: commuter home. On another note, just because people are impassed 2999 02:26:12,320 --> 02:26:15,039 Speaker 4: to find something decent en people doesn't negate the need 3000 02:26:15,160 --> 02:26:17,480 Speaker 4: to be honest and exercise common sense. I think when 3001 02:26:17,520 --> 02:26:21,000 Speaker 4: people critique nice people, they don't take into account the 3002 02:26:21,080 --> 02:26:23,920 Speaker 4: fact that they have that they have with deemable qualities 3003 02:26:24,280 --> 02:26:27,840 Speaker 4: and saying folks can't do no wrong or separate separate things. 3004 02:26:28,280 --> 02:26:32,680 Speaker 4: Just because the fanta fastest fascist might have taken a 3005 02:26:32,760 --> 02:26:35,039 Speaker 4: cute baby pick that one time doesn't mean that folks 3006 02:26:35,120 --> 02:26:38,240 Speaker 4: think he'd make a good city council member. Nevertheless, potus 3007 02:26:38,680 --> 02:26:43,560 Speaker 4: or in this case ptists probably wrongly equated. Nice was 3008 02:26:43,680 --> 02:26:45,840 Speaker 4: soft and if it weren't for us, well, let's not 3009 02:26:46,000 --> 02:26:49,200 Speaker 4: think about that, it wouldn't be too nice. Bottom line, 3010 02:26:49,320 --> 02:26:51,200 Speaker 4: maybe there are just twenty percent of us who can't 3011 02:26:51,240 --> 02:26:55,119 Speaker 4: handle this empathy slash nicey Knife's life and little Homie 3012 02:26:55,240 --> 02:26:57,320 Speaker 4: was reaching in that convo. But she will learn to 3013 02:26:57,400 --> 02:27:00,480 Speaker 4: grow and be all right, well yeah, I mean, look, 3014 02:27:00,760 --> 02:27:06,720 Speaker 4: she is young. I also don't really resent her point 3015 02:27:06,720 --> 02:27:09,360 Speaker 4: of view.

Like, and people can justify anything. 3154 02:33:46,200 --> 02:33:48,160 Speaker 4: So I just feel like the only thing you. 3155 02:33:48,200 --> 02:33:50,640 Speaker 3: Can truly do is take responsibility for the space that 3156 02:33:50,720 --> 02:33:51,600 Speaker 3: you manage. That's it. 3157 02:33:51,800 --> 02:33:55,959 Speaker 4: You can't promise anybody anything as far as safety, you can't. 3158 02:33:56,200 --> 02:33:58,320 Speaker 4: As long as there are other people in the space. 3159 02:33:58,480 --> 02:34:02,280 Speaker 4: I can't be responsible for anybody else's actions. I can 3160 02:34:02,360 --> 02:34:05,040 Speaker 4: only react to the actions in what I consider to 3161 02:34:05,080 --> 02:34:08,640 Speaker 4: be a responsible manner. That's it, you know, That's the 3162 02:34:08,760 --> 02:34:12,960 Speaker 4: messiness of humanity.

Like, people are fucking psychopaths, man. 3166 02:34:26,080 --> 02:34:28,200 Speaker 4: And maybe it's because I just don't trust people but 3167 02:34:28,360 --> 02:34:33,320 Speaker 4: I don't. I would feel like I would feel dishonest 3168 02:34:33,400 --> 02:34:36,360 Speaker 4: to promise people something I can't deliver, correct, you know, So, 3169 02:34:36,560 --> 02:34:39,120 Speaker 4: like I said, people will refer to our Facebook group 3170 02:34:39,120 --> 02:34:41,320 Speaker 4: as a safe face, people refer to our podcast as 3171 02:34:41,320 --> 02:34:42,119 Speaker 4: a safe space. 3172 02:34:42,360 --> 02:34:44,080 Speaker 3: I don't feel that it is safe. I don't, but 3173 02:34:44,240 --> 02:34:44,480 Speaker 3: I'm not. 3174 02:34:44,680 --> 02:34:47,000 Speaker 4: But at the same time, I'm not really striving to 3175 02:34:47,120 --> 02:34:49,959 Speaker 4: make it safe quote unquote. I'll try to be mindful, 3176 02:34:50,360 --> 02:34:53,280 Speaker 4: I try to be empathetic to a certain extent, but 3177 02:34:53,360 --> 02:34:55,560 Speaker 4: I don't feel like this shit is safe because I. 3178 02:34:55,600 --> 02:34:58,160 Speaker 3: Think comedy is very unsafe by nature.

Grants for summer 3474 02:48:56,360 --> 02:49:00,720 Speaker 4: classes will slash four billion dollars. The grad issue is 3475 02:49:00,720 --> 02:49:02,720 Speaker 4: the most disturbing to me. I'll share a quick story. 3476 02:49:03,080 --> 02:49:05,480 Speaker 4: A friend of mine was a former president of a 3477 02:49:05,560 --> 02:49:08,800 Speaker 4: large HBCU in a Republican state who ultimately got run 3478 02:49:08,879 --> 02:49:11,240 Speaker 4: off her job by the board of trustees. Their beef 3479 02:49:11,320 --> 02:49:14,199 Speaker 4: was a difference in belief of the school's secondary mission. 3480 02:49:14,480 --> 02:49:16,120 Speaker 4: She felt that the schools should continue to do what 3481 02:49:16,160 --> 02:49:18,800 Speaker 4: it's always done, provide black people in other underserved groups 3482 02:49:18,840 --> 02:49:21,760 Speaker 4: of college education. As a result, the school sometimes admitted 3483 02:49:21,800 --> 02:49:24,720 Speaker 4: many students that probably would have had trouble getting in elsewhere. 3484 02:49:25,360 --> 02:49:28,600 Speaker 4: Another friend, who works in the student affairs department, was 3485 02:49:28,720 --> 02:49:31,199 Speaker 4: telling me how a lot of these types of students 3486 02:49:31,280 --> 02:49:33,440 Speaker 4: need extra classes to even be brought up to college 3487 02:49:33,560 --> 02:49:36,040 Speaker 4: level because of the poor educations they received prior to college. 3488 02:49:36,440 --> 02:49:38,640 Speaker 4: Two things happen because of this. The students take longer 3489 02:49:38,680 --> 02:49:41,040 Speaker 4: to graduate We're talking maybe an extra semestic compared to 3490 02:49:41,120 --> 02:49:43,560 Speaker 4: the state average. And the students need to take summer 3491 02:49:43,600 --> 02:49:46,680 Speaker 4: classes The state legislature was also at ours with the 3492 02:49:46,720 --> 02:49:48,879 Speaker 4: school and was constantly trying to find reasons to cut 3493 02:49:48,920 --> 02:49:51,640 Speaker 4: their budget. The Republican state congressman tried to use that 3494 02:49:51,760 --> 02:49:53,880 Speaker 4: as proof that the school is failing and reasons to 3495 02:49:53,959 --> 02:49:56,680 Speaker 4: cut the funding. The sad thing is that the university 3496 02:49:56,720 --> 02:49:59,080 Speaker 4: trustees sided with the money instead of doing what is right. 3497 02:50:00,000 --> 02:50:03,200 Speaker 4: Area that I think this cut is ampl funding is 3498 02:50:03,240 --> 02:50:06,680 Speaker 4: going to affect is HBCU STEM students. I don't know 3499 02:50:06,920 --> 02:50:11,040 Speaker 4: how kids do it today, but back when I was 3500 02:50:11,120 --> 02:50:13,199 Speaker 4: in an undergrad, it was best to take the hardest 3501 02:50:13,640 --> 02:50:18,160 Speaker 4: STEM classes in the summer, where you're only taking one 3502 02:50:18,200 --> 02:50:19,800 Speaker 4: to two classes, right, it is. 3503 02:50:19,800 --> 02:50:23,400 Speaker 2: A short period of time, and so I realized that 3504 02:50:23,520 --> 02:50:25,080 Speaker 2: too when it was at Fiel's State. 3505 02:50:25,400 --> 02:50:27,480 Speaker 5: I didn't go to summer class because there's lot of scholarships. 3506 02:50:27,480 --> 02:50:28,320 Speaker 5: Like you said, we went paid for. 3507 02:50:28,320 --> 02:50:31,720 Speaker 2: Summer school, But a lot of people who got loans 3508 02:50:31,760 --> 02:50:34,920 Speaker 2: and shit like that did their really complex classes because 3509 02:50:34,920 --> 02:50:36,880 Speaker 2: they know it's a short period of time. 3510 02:50:37,280 --> 02:50:40,120 Speaker 5: It's condensed. You know a lot of teachers they're not 3511 02:50:40,240 --> 02:50:41,439 Speaker 5: as hard because. 3512 02:50:41,160 --> 02:50:43,480 Speaker 2: They know they only have a limited amount of time 3513 02:50:43,560 --> 02:50:44,680 Speaker 2: to cover a limited amount of shit. 3514 02:50:44,720 --> 02:50:47,920 Speaker 4: In the summertime, Also, you don't have as many classes 3515 02:50:47,959 --> 02:50:50,600 Speaker 4: that you're taking, so you can you can concentrate on 3516 02:50:50,680 --> 02:50:56,119 Speaker 4: those one of two classes.
