Family, it's your girl to make a 0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:10.440 d Mallory and it's your boy my son in general, 0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:13.760 and we are your host of street politicians, the place 0:00:13.800 --> 0:00:21.640 where politics is moving on in It's almost the end 0:00:21.640 --> 0:00:25.080 of the month, almost one month in hope. You then 0:00:25.200 --> 0:00:27.840 did something different, change in your mind state, change the 0:00:27.840 --> 0:00:31.440 way you eat me. I've been working out my body, soul. 0:00:32.240 --> 0:00:36.360 My boy g over that survived forty one, tam me up, man, 0:00:36.400 --> 0:00:39.960 but I need it. It's breaking down, destroyed to rebuild, man. 0:00:40.040 --> 0:00:42.400 So go over there and get you some classes. They 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:47.519 do boxing, they do you know, strength exercises, call everything 0:00:47.560 --> 0:00:54.200 you need is over there. That's my um workout playing boxing. 0:00:54.440 --> 0:00:56.920 They say it can work out all of your body. 0:00:57.120 --> 0:00:59.279 They say it's gonna work out my legs. That's what 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:04.360 I really need, my physical area that needs work at 0:01:04.400 --> 0:01:06.880 this point. You know, of course, the stomach is always 0:01:06.880 --> 0:01:10.399 an issue, especially as you get to be in your forties. Um, 0:01:10.560 --> 0:01:12.720 but I know for women. I'm sure for men as well, 0:01:12.760 --> 0:01:15.639 but the stomach part is always an issue. But I 0:01:15.640 --> 0:01:20.280 I kind of have that under control slightly. Where I 0:01:20.360 --> 0:01:24.240 have issues is that after a while, when you gain weight, 0:01:24.319 --> 0:01:27.560 which I have, it turns into like a cottage cheese, 0:01:27.680 --> 0:01:32.480 Like it doesn't look smooth and like the skin stretched 0:01:32.520 --> 0:01:36.880 out properly on your you know, lower extremity. So that's 0:01:36.880 --> 0:01:38.399 what I want to work on. And they tell me 0:01:38.480 --> 0:01:42.640 that boxing is gonna help with my heart rate, my arms, 0:01:43.160 --> 0:01:46.280 my strength, and then of course you know, helping me 0:01:46.360 --> 0:01:48.880 with my legs. So that's what I'm going to do. 0:01:49.080 --> 0:01:53.400 I'm going to be uh, trying to do something other 0:01:53.440 --> 0:02:00.360 than relaxing and watching my Netflix chose when I'm on, um, 0:02:00.360 --> 0:02:02.920 I don't know when I'm not working, which is not often, 0:02:02.960 --> 0:02:06.080 but still, you know, I like white people TV. I'm 0:02:06.120 --> 0:02:08.680 not gonna lie. I have to admit this to myself 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:12.040 because I was looking at Netflix the other day. Now, 0:02:12.080 --> 0:02:14.680 I was looking at a good looking for a good 0:02:14.720 --> 0:02:19.120 black show, you know, some kind of a show, some suspense, 0:02:19.760 --> 0:02:22.960 And when I started doing my res like you know, 0:02:23.040 --> 0:02:26.760 how you you like, I was choosing different shows. It's 0:02:26.760 --> 0:02:30.680 said on the top in the percentile area, which which 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:34.840 is pretty much identifying. It's tracking how much TV you 0:02:34.919 --> 0:02:38.120 watching them? Like what are the shows that you're attracted to? 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.560 And and the percentage for all the black shows was 0:02:41.639 --> 0:02:48.400 like thirty percent six was the highest, but the white 0:02:48.480 --> 0:02:53.160 TV was all like nine eight percent ninety nine, because 0:02:53.200 --> 0:02:55.880 I like the suspense of, you know, the way they 0:02:55.919 --> 0:02:58.680 have so much privilege, the way they get in trouble, 0:02:58.840 --> 0:03:01.640 the way that white people do on TV like we 0:03:01.760 --> 0:03:04.840 as black people could never and when we're watching black 0:03:04.840 --> 0:03:07.880 people and we see our friend and mill was talking 0:03:07.919 --> 0:03:10.280 about this the other day too, how when we're watching 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:13.359 black people on TV and they do something completely outlanged 0:03:13.360 --> 0:03:16.119 to be like, man, ain't watching this show. This is stupid. 0:03:16.480 --> 0:03:18.799 We know this. And that's that's part of the reason 0:03:18.880 --> 0:03:25.239 why sometimes I struggle with all the fifties fifty cents shows, 0:03:25.320 --> 0:03:27.920 right because I'll just be watching it and it's good. 0:03:27.960 --> 0:03:30.040 I'm not saying it's not, but I'd be like, man, 0:03:30.160 --> 0:03:33.160 that you ain't that's not gonna happen in the real world. 0:03:33.400 --> 0:03:35.400 But the stuff that white people be getting away with, 0:03:35.640 --> 0:03:40.720 they do that they literally be doing some of this. Basically, 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.800 you wat shows based on white privilege. I like the 0:03:43.840 --> 0:03:48.760 white privilege shows. I ain't gonna lie, I'm sorry, this 0:03:48.840 --> 0:03:53.680 is the activist, like the white privilege shows Lord and Then. 0:03:54.960 --> 0:03:59.440 But when I watched black TV, I like documentaries. I 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:03.800 like movies about things that actually happened. But no, but 0:04:03.800 --> 0:04:06.640 the reality is powering on like like that happened. They 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:10.200 based all real story. Some of that stuff is outlandish, 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:12.600 you know. Some of the stuff they get away with, 0:04:12.680 --> 0:04:15.240 they don't the way they'll be killing and what they 0:04:15.280 --> 0:04:18.080 got away with. Niggas they got. It's documented that in 0:04:18.120 --> 0:04:20.919 the eighties niggas was killing like that. They had bodies 0:04:20.960 --> 0:04:23.719 like that. It is niggas. You look at their cases. 0:04:24.200 --> 0:04:27.640 They got cases for catching these buddies. This ship ain't 0:04:27.680 --> 0:04:30.040 all the way made up. It's right now because we're 0:04:30.080 --> 0:04:33.600 looking at technology, we're looking at you know, the way 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:37.360 every state is basically a police state with cameras everywhere. 0:04:37.680 --> 0:04:40.120 But back then when it was outside like that and 0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.119 he was catching these buddies, you know, it wasn't. It wasn't. 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.480 The law enforcement wasn't even trying to stop him at 0:04:45.480 --> 0:04:49.160 that point. People in college, you're you're a college student, 0:04:49.640 --> 0:04:52.200 but then you go kill people and the lunch break 0:04:52.279 --> 0:04:56.880 and go back or or dealing. It's heavy for me, 0:04:57.160 --> 0:05:00.240 But I'm not listen. I'm not knocking it because I've 0:05:00.240 --> 0:05:02.800 watched it. Of course I haven't. I'm not really up 0:05:02.800 --> 0:05:05.919 on BMF, but I've watched all the other shows. I 0:05:06.040 --> 0:05:08.760 love it. I've watched Raising Kanan, so I'm not trying 0:05:08.800 --> 0:05:10.559 to say it I don't like it. I'm just saying 0:05:10.560 --> 0:05:14.000 that when I'm watching it, I start feeling like this 0:05:14.200 --> 0:05:17.680 right here, it's impossible. When I'm watched the white people 0:05:17.720 --> 0:05:19.840 doing it, I'm like, yeah, that sounds like something you 0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:22.480 could get away with. That You that cops pull you over. 0:05:22.600 --> 0:05:25.600 You got two bodies in the trunk, somebody laying down 0:05:25.600 --> 0:05:27.520 in the back seat, the person in the back seat. 0:05:27.560 --> 0:05:30.000 They say, oh, they're sleeping, and the cops never say, well, 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:32.440 wake him up. They don't do that for black people, 0:05:32.640 --> 0:05:35.800 but anywhere. That's what I was doing during the holidays, 0:05:36.120 --> 0:05:39.279 was catching up on a bunch of uh TV shows 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:41.640 and I'm still kind of into it now. I'm watching 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:46.919 Breaking Bad, which is pretty good. Um So, let me 0:05:47.000 --> 0:05:51.200 see what are the news stories we're gonna talk about today. 0:05:51.279 --> 0:05:54.120 There's a lot of things happening, you know what I 0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:55.960 tell you one thing that no one else. You may 0:05:56.000 --> 0:05:59.080 not care about this, but I do because I was 0:05:59.120 --> 0:06:01.479 trying to see what was gonna happen with Alec Baldwin, 0:06:02.200 --> 0:06:05.960 right like, he killed a lady on the set and 0:06:06.080 --> 0:06:09.280 I'm sorry, I know for sure, or at least I 0:06:09.360 --> 0:06:16.839 believe strongly that if a black actor was on a 0:06:16.960 --> 0:06:23.240 set and killed a woman or any person with a 0:06:23.320 --> 0:06:26.320 gun that is actually supposed to isn't It wasn't supposed 0:06:26.320 --> 0:06:28.560 to have blanks in it in the first place, Like 0:06:28.600 --> 0:06:31.080 it's not even supposed to have real like things that 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:34.400 could actually kill you, right. I think I'm pretty sure 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.320 that I read that a long time ago. It's been 0:06:36.360 --> 0:06:39.040 a while, but I think they would take you out 0:06:39.040 --> 0:06:43.160 of handcuffs and that you would have a charge. I mean, 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.840 I don't know, because I'm just looking at the workplace. 0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:50.320 I'm looking at do they have intent, do they have 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:54.599 malicious intent? You know, I'm looking at the totality of it. 0:06:54.680 --> 0:06:56.760 I don't know, you know, I don't know. I don't 0:06:56.760 --> 0:07:01.360 know if he's he's the person that's completely responsible for 0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:03.360 him having the gun. I think the gun was on 0:07:03.400 --> 0:07:05.240 the set to be a part of the set, and 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.800 there was an armorer, which is like the Black Church. 0:07:07.839 --> 0:07:10.000 We call him the armor bear, who was supposed to 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:12.720 be holding the gun, and then I guess at the 0:07:12.800 --> 0:07:16.560 point that he was, he was using it alec bowing 0:07:17.000 --> 0:07:19.920 instead of it having whatever it is that you can 0:07:19.960 --> 0:07:23.080 shoot it and it won't harm anybody. It actually had 0:07:23.320 --> 0:07:28.680 bullets in it and um, and this woman was killed. Now, 0:07:29.240 --> 0:07:31.200 the reason why I brought it up is because now 0:07:31.240 --> 0:07:35.480 he's been charged with involuntary manslaughter. Him and the armorer 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:37.920 has been charged. So that tells me somebody knows that 0:07:38.000 --> 0:07:40.920 what they were doing, they wasn't supposed to happen. But 0:07:41.000 --> 0:07:44.120 and I was just wondering, and I'm sure involuntary manslaughter 0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:47.680 there's something where they probably won't get a lot of 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:51.560 time or anything like that, right, more than likely they won't. 0:07:51.760 --> 0:07:55.280 If it's involuntary means that it wasn't done purposes. It's 0:07:55.320 --> 0:07:59.320 basically just saying that you killed someone by accident. So 0:08:00.040 --> 0:08:04.680 but man slaughters by accident, yeah, man, any anything involuntary 0:08:04.760 --> 0:08:07.200 just means that it wasn't done purpose, and it probably wasn't. 0:08:07.200 --> 0:08:08.760 With that, we gotta I want to look up to 0:08:08.760 --> 0:08:12.559 be specific, but I'm more more, you know, almost sure. 0:08:13.360 --> 0:08:18.040 Involuntary means it was an accident, but someone died. So anyway, 0:08:18.080 --> 0:08:22.920 they did charge him and the armorer with involuntary manslaughter. 0:08:23.000 --> 0:08:26.680 So for anybody that's wondering, how did Alec Borwan just 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.800 shoot and kill somebody and didn't get away with it. 0:08:30.000 --> 0:08:33.160 They have been charged. How that's gonna work out in 0:08:33.280 --> 0:08:35.440 terms of jail time? I don't, you know, I don't 0:08:35.440 --> 0:08:39.880 think in voluntary right now. Yeah, I don't think they'll 0:08:39.880 --> 0:08:43.599 get any jail time. But I definitely was like what 0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:46.480 when I saw it in the news, I was like, oh, okay, 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:48.559 there's follow up because in my mind, I was like, yep, 0:08:48.679 --> 0:08:52.480 they're just going wipe it under the rug, swipe it 0:08:52.559 --> 0:08:56.280 under what it's a misdemeaning Yep. It's defined as an 0:08:56.360 --> 0:09:01.120 unintentional killing that results either from reckless or reminute negligence 0:09:02.000 --> 0:09:05.080 the permission of a low level criminal act, such as 0:09:05.200 --> 0:09:09.360 a misdemeanor. In violatary manslaughter is distinguished from others of 0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:14.480 homicide because it does not require deliberation or premeditation, or 0:09:14.520 --> 0:09:17.800 even intent, since these mental states are not required in 0:09:17.880 --> 0:09:21.920 violatary manslaw as the lowest category of homicide. Right So, 0:09:21.920 --> 0:09:24.720 so listen, I don't think he meant to shoot the woman. 0:09:25.360 --> 0:09:28.120 Um and you know, you don't seem to think that 0:09:28.559 --> 0:09:32.600 it's a shoot a sure thing that if someone of color, 0:09:32.760 --> 0:09:37.560 I mean Latino, also somebody who was not filthy rich 0:09:37.679 --> 0:09:41.920 like Alec Baldwin shot somebody. I just don't know how 0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:47.520 easy it would be for in the beginning for it 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:49.640 to just be so quiet. I think it would be 0:09:49.720 --> 0:09:53.720 something that was on the news being dragged out forever 0:09:53.840 --> 0:09:58.640 and ever, and that the individual who committed the crime 0:09:59.520 --> 0:10:03.199 quote in quote would be somebody who or or they 0:10:03.200 --> 0:10:09.040 would have other opportunities that they lose because of it. Now, 0:10:09.080 --> 0:10:11.640 I can't say that that didn't happen to him. I'm 0:10:11.679 --> 0:10:14.240 just saying I feel like it would have been different. 0:10:14.280 --> 0:10:16.439 But we do now know that both people are going 0:10:16.440 --> 0:10:19.319 to be charged at least. So that's a little update 0:10:19.360 --> 0:10:22.120 on something probably nobody else kids about with me, but something. 0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:24.040 But you know, I've told you I'll be tracking white 0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:31.240 people's stuff and now in other white people news. Um, 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:35.040 and this is something that you know, it's really really serious. Actually, 0:10:36.080 --> 0:10:39.200 let me tell you why this is serious. Right First, 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:45.480 Governor the Sansis, which is the governor in Florida. He 0:10:45.840 --> 0:10:51.560 is definitely definitely unless there's something in his background, some 0:10:51.679 --> 0:10:55.839 black face or you know, and even that even that, 0:10:56.040 --> 0:10:59.000 I don't know, it has to be something in his 0:10:59.160 --> 0:11:04.199 background that if he didn't kill nobody, now, I mean, 0:11:04.200 --> 0:11:06.920 there's some of other things that he that could be 0:11:06.920 --> 0:11:11.880 in his background that would invigorate he could. I don't know, 0:11:12.000 --> 0:11:14.720 but well, you're right, because if he raped the woman, 0:11:18.320 --> 0:11:21.280 a becoming president is a little different. But then Donald 0:11:21.280 --> 0:11:25.680 Trump said grabbing by the pussy, So I mean, Joe Bide, 0:11:25.760 --> 0:11:28.840 it's a lot. Listen, these guys got a lot of things. 0:11:28.880 --> 0:11:33.240 They got a lot of things. So it's possible that 0:11:33.920 --> 0:11:37.320 no matter what he has in his background, nothing will 0:11:37.360 --> 0:11:40.800 stop him from at least running for president. And he 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:45.320 has a very good chance of being the Republican pick, right, 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.160 which means that the Republicans will be putting all their 0:11:48.200 --> 0:11:52.920 support behind him. Florida is a hardass state already, Like 0:11:52.960 --> 0:11:57.880 it is very difficult to beat conservatives in Florida because 0:11:57.880 --> 0:12:01.240 we know what the state represents, we understand the makeup, 0:12:01.400 --> 0:12:04.560 you know, you know it's it's it's tough there. So 0:12:04.679 --> 0:12:09.200 the Santists he is more than likely going to run, 0:12:09.920 --> 0:12:14.040 and he could very well be the Republican nominee who 0:12:14.080 --> 0:12:15.800 was something. And then at this at that point, because 0:12:15.840 --> 0:12:17.960 I don't think Trump. I think Trump's time, He's in 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:21.240 his swan song, He's it's almost over um and then 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.600 he could win, right, the Scantists could win if we're 0:12:23.600 --> 0:12:28.920 not on top of him. Now he has banned African 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:34.400 American AP studies from the high schools. Now this is important, 0:12:34.640 --> 0:12:38.680 right because he has also he's the one who started 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:42.200 the whole critical race theory banning it from schools. He 0:12:42.240 --> 0:12:45.800 has been working really hard to do something that is 0:12:46.120 --> 0:12:54.760 critically important and that is undermining education about history as 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:59.400 it relates to African Americans or Africans in America. He 0:12:59.440 --> 0:13:03.000 has been on to undermine it and really try to 0:13:03.679 --> 0:13:08.000 reverse everything that people fought to get in the curriculum 0:13:08.360 --> 0:13:10.960 so that not just black folks can learn this stuff, 0:13:11.160 --> 0:13:15.240 but so white students would also be educated. The problem 0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:19.160 that they had those white folks who are many of 0:13:19.160 --> 0:13:22.000 them are in many of them or the leaders of this. 0:13:22.440 --> 0:13:25.240 They're in what is considered to be the top one 0:13:25.360 --> 0:13:29.480 percent two percent, right, they are their issue. Their problem 0:13:29.960 --> 0:13:34.040 is that more white people, and especially younger white people, 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:38.080 are becoming more and more aware every single day of 0:13:38.320 --> 0:13:43.360 the oppression and the racism and the suffering of African 0:13:43.400 --> 0:13:47.200 Americans and other people of color. They are becoming more aware. 0:13:47.360 --> 0:13:51.119 So when you have a situation like Kelly and Conway 0:13:51.520 --> 0:13:54.160 during the time, why Donald Trump was I don't know, 0:13:54.160 --> 0:13:55.920 I don't know if he was running for president again 0:13:56.000 --> 0:13:59.040 or yeah, probably was. During the presidential election, she was 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.320 her daughter, Kelly and Conway's daughter at Kelly and Conway 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.360 for anybody that doesn't know, at one point she was 0:14:04.800 --> 0:14:08.400 the White House spokesperson or you know, she was at 0:14:08.400 --> 0:14:10.120 the at the podium. I guess she was. I don't 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:14.240 know if she was over um uh public relations, but 0:14:14.280 --> 0:14:16.040 I know she was a spokesperson, so she was at 0:14:16.040 --> 0:14:18.920 the podium. I figured she might have been the press secretary. 0:14:19.080 --> 0:14:22.880 She might have been. So anyway, when Kelly and comment, um, 0:14:23.040 --> 0:14:25.240 you know, she was obviously supporting him in his re 0:14:25.440 --> 0:14:30.520 election bid and his and her daughter was on Twitter, Instagram, 0:14:30.600 --> 0:14:34.720 TikTok and everywhere else telling all the business talking about 0:14:34.800 --> 0:14:37.840 Donald Trump, saying her mother was a hypocrite, saying that 0:14:37.880 --> 0:14:41.360 Donald Trump was dangerous. She she was really taking to 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:45.280 social media to stop her mother, or at least to 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.200 expose her mother's support for a bigot and a racist. Right. 0:14:49.880 --> 0:14:54.480 So this went on with a number of the young people, 0:14:54.560 --> 0:14:58.000 the kids and the families of a bunch of folks. 0:14:58.240 --> 0:15:02.160 For instance, give you another egg example Julius Jones, Right, 0:15:02.720 --> 0:15:06.600 Julius Jones. We fought like hell, along with so many 0:15:06.720 --> 0:15:10.440 leaders people who were out there every day fighting to 0:15:10.520 --> 0:15:16.240 get Julius Jones off death row right before, like seconds minutes, 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:20.240 right before he was scheduled to actually go be executed 0:15:20.400 --> 0:15:23.560 for a crime we know he did not commit. The 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:28.200 governor was receiving calls and pushed back from everybody. Anybody 0:15:28.240 --> 0:15:31.680 you could think of, was calling the governor from white folks, 0:15:31.720 --> 0:15:35.440 black folks, round folks, any and everybody. People with power, 0:15:35.760 --> 0:15:40.360 people with position, people with money. Everything. So after a 0:15:40.480 --> 0:15:45.400 while people started tweeting at writing and calling good excuse me, 0:15:45.440 --> 0:15:49.720 the governor's daughter telling her, hey, you know, stop your father, 0:15:50.000 --> 0:15:53.680 Make your father sign what he needs to sign to 0:15:54.000 --> 0:15:58.800 stop the execution. The daughter was responsive and said, I've 0:15:58.840 --> 0:16:02.960 already expressed I'm used that Julius Jones should live right now. 0:16:03.040 --> 0:16:06.240 She wasn't derogatory. Kelly and Conway's daughter was off the chain. 0:16:06.600 --> 0:16:08.840 She was going live in the house with her mother, 0:16:09.080 --> 0:16:14.240 like showing her mother and being like, you're did her exactly. 0:16:14.760 --> 0:16:19.240 But you know, the governor's daughter for for Julius Jones, 0:16:19.680 --> 0:16:23.200 his position, you know, his daughter's position wasn't that it 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:26.840 was um uh disrespectful to him. In any way. But 0:16:26.960 --> 0:16:29.520 she basically let it be known that she sides with 0:16:29.560 --> 0:16:33.520 the people. She supports our perspective in terms of stopping 0:16:33.600 --> 0:16:37.520 the execution against this man. This is important for what 0:16:37.760 --> 0:16:41.120 is happening with the Santis, because what's happening with them 0:16:41.120 --> 0:16:43.560 is saif as they sit down the one percent as 0:16:43.640 --> 0:16:47.720 the two percenters and they have conversations about their homes 0:16:48.080 --> 0:16:52.360 whereas they grew up in environments where the granddaddy was 0:16:52.400 --> 0:16:55.440 a racist, the daddy was a racist, and they have 0:16:55.600 --> 0:16:58.960 learned all about racism and are upholding it themselves, and 0:16:59.040 --> 0:17:02.400 damn it, they are racist. To what is happening now 0:17:02.520 --> 0:17:05.919 is as we integrate into society, because we know that 0:17:06.040 --> 0:17:09.399 one of the major problems that these one percenters and 0:17:09.520 --> 0:17:13.320 otherwise of white folks have is how they are becoming 0:17:13.320 --> 0:17:17.320 a minority in our society because there are more browning. 0:17:17.359 --> 0:17:20.240 The country is browning, if you will. The country is 0:17:20.600 --> 0:17:26.760 continuing the brown especially the Latino population is growing um exponentially, right, 0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:30.280 and so that that is one of the big pushbacks 0:17:30.320 --> 0:17:33.600 that we have is trying to figure out how would 0:17:33.600 --> 0:17:37.880 all this integration, people living together, people moving together, how 0:17:37.880 --> 0:17:42.879 do they stop their own from becoming sensitive to the 0:17:43.040 --> 0:17:46.440 issues and that we're concerned about, and how do they 0:17:46.480 --> 0:17:49.480 stop them from actually joining us and our movements the 0:17:49.480 --> 0:17:52.240 way we have seen white folks being all up in 0:17:52.280 --> 0:17:55.320 the marches and the protests and giving money. The best 0:17:55.400 --> 0:17:58.760 thing that you can do to make up people ignorant 0:17:58.920 --> 0:18:02.280 is to stop edge icating them on history and then 0:18:02.359 --> 0:18:05.920 allowing them to be exposed to current what is happening 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:09.040 in the in the current state. And so he he's 0:18:09.080 --> 0:18:11.000 not just doing this because he woke up one day 0:18:11.000 --> 0:18:12.840 and was like, I just want to be mean. No, 0:18:13.359 --> 0:18:16.800 it's a part of a plan to dismantle what we 0:18:16.880 --> 0:18:20.080 have worked hard to build and to ensure that that 0:18:20.320 --> 0:18:24.200 our education and the education about our stories and the 0:18:24.240 --> 0:18:26.879 truth about black people and what and and main and 0:18:26.960 --> 0:18:30.760 more importantly, the truth about what America has done and 0:18:30.840 --> 0:18:34.479 continues to do to us that they unraveled at every 0:18:34.560 --> 0:18:38.600 single angle, and education is a really important place to 0:18:38.640 --> 0:18:43.160 start it. So that's what they're doing, Um, And that's dangerous, isn't, 0:18:43.240 --> 0:18:45.880 Like you said, it's intentional and it's and it's because 0:18:46.200 --> 0:18:48.400 what you see with these children, right, what you see 0:18:48.400 --> 0:18:51.280 with your our children, and and they're coming they're speaking 0:18:51.280 --> 0:18:53.960 out against injustice because they're learning, they're doing the actually 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:56.960 doing history is in the books. They're they're surrounded like 0:18:56.960 --> 0:18:59.840 it's a Milton Pot's black people, the brown people in school. 0:18:59.840 --> 0:19:02.439 They giving their history and they're learning in their school. 0:19:02.520 --> 0:19:05.440 So when when their children are coming home and saying 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.240 mom and dad, did you know this happened? And why 0:19:08.359 --> 0:19:10.240 why haven't we done more? And what have you done? 0:19:10.240 --> 0:19:12.920 And when when all this is happening, what were you doing? Right? 0:19:12.920 --> 0:19:15.280 They don't want to deal with that, the white guilt, right, 0:19:15.320 --> 0:19:17.679 So they want to eliminate white guilt. They want to 0:19:17.680 --> 0:19:22.919 eliminate education and actual you know, comaraderie with having us 0:19:22.960 --> 0:19:26.120 having white allies, their children turning into white alies, their 0:19:26.200 --> 0:19:30.960 children looking too over overturn and overrun white supremacy, and 0:19:30.960 --> 0:19:33.360 and and and shut down the systems of white supremacy. 0:19:33.400 --> 0:19:35.159 When you look into these streets, it's a lot of 0:19:35.200 --> 0:19:38.720 these young white kids out there advocating for civil rights. 0:19:38.720 --> 0:19:40.680 So they don't want that. They're trying to study, like now, 0:19:40.720 --> 0:19:43.679 we we can't we can't keep having our kids, you know, 0:19:43.800 --> 0:19:46.800 understanding how racist America was and what they've done through 0:19:46.840 --> 0:19:49.720 our years to black and brown people. So we want 0:19:49.720 --> 0:19:52.040 to we want to stop this education. So the Santists 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:57.480 and everybody along that mind state is very very strategic, 0:19:57.600 --> 0:20:01.080 Like they havn't they have think tank that explaining to 0:20:01.200 --> 0:20:03.440 them that in the next ten to twenty years with 0:20:03.600 --> 0:20:06.160 this world will look like and how the education system 0:20:06.480 --> 0:20:09.120 is going to impact on what white people are doing, 0:20:09.119 --> 0:20:12.120 and how you know, they're taking away from the white 0:20:12.160 --> 0:20:15.760 supremacist soldiers, so to say, because they can't keep feeding 0:20:15.800 --> 0:20:17.960 them the tea and keep giving them the koola They're 0:20:17.960 --> 0:20:20.320 not sipping the kool aid no more because they'd be educated. 0:20:20.480 --> 0:20:22.040 So the best way to do it is to take 0:20:22.040 --> 0:20:24.560 it out the education system and make them have to 0:20:24.600 --> 0:20:26.080 get it so well. Is the same way they did 0:20:26.080 --> 0:20:28.600 with slaves for years. They didn't want to educate slaves 0:20:28.640 --> 0:20:30.919 at all because they know to educate them is to 0:20:30.960 --> 0:20:34.159 empower them. Well, they tell us that we need to 0:20:34.200 --> 0:20:40.600 say enslaved people, enslaved pave um. But you know you're right. 0:20:40.840 --> 0:20:42.680 That's the all I can say is we know, we 0:20:42.760 --> 0:20:44.760 know what, we just need to make sure eybody else knows. 0:20:44.760 --> 0:20:46.639 And I think the only other point is this is 0:20:46.680 --> 0:20:49.600 why elections matter and why we have to be paying 0:20:49.640 --> 0:20:55.080 attention from local to federal every single election super local. 0:20:55.720 --> 0:21:00.240 It's important I understand that there is a desire to say, 0:21:00.240 --> 0:21:03.000 that's why we need to build our own institutions so 0:21:03.040 --> 0:21:05.400 we can educate our own people. But again, it's not 0:21:05.480 --> 0:21:08.320 just about educating our own. If we're gonna live in 0:21:08.320 --> 0:21:11.400 a society with others, we want them to be educated 0:21:11.440 --> 0:21:14.880 as well. If you have a system where yes, all 0:21:14.960 --> 0:21:17.680 these governors, all of these people, we don't think not 0:21:18.400 --> 0:21:21.560 one of them is radical enough and that they have 0:21:22.480 --> 0:21:27.760 a strong enough conviction for um, for for justice. Right, 0:21:27.840 --> 0:21:30.520 we don't see that right. We know that it's not there, 0:21:30.840 --> 0:21:33.920 but we do know that there are degrees to which 0:21:33.960 --> 0:21:36.879 things can get much worse, and de scientists is a 0:21:37.000 --> 0:21:41.280 very dangerous individual. So when we're sitting around talking about 0:21:41.400 --> 0:21:43.440 what we need to make money so we can build 0:21:43.440 --> 0:21:46.760 our institutions, that's fine, but we also as leaders have 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:49.760 to know that the masses of our people are not 0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:52.880 where you are. You're building something, but you're not even 0:21:52.920 --> 0:21:55.800 there yet, because it's nothing that you have at this 0:21:55.920 --> 0:21:59.399 point that is creating or that is that is educating 0:21:59.640 --> 0:22:03.119 a man, the real structure of the system people that 0:22:03.280 --> 0:22:07.400 created finances or just educating your finances. So the reality 0:22:07.400 --> 0:22:10.400 of situation is you're not creating ship to build more money, 0:22:10.400 --> 0:22:13.040 and that ship is cool, but you haven't been Nobody 0:22:13.119 --> 0:22:17.560 has been successful or even intentional about building a system 0:22:17.600 --> 0:22:21.000 that combats this system. Right, So that's something until we 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:24.199 are and I'm not saying that it's not stages, but 0:22:24.280 --> 0:22:27.399 while you're working on stages, you have to realize that 0:22:27.480 --> 0:22:31.520 another part of the stages is trying is hard reduction. 0:22:32.119 --> 0:22:36.720 We need harm reduction, and not voting in these elections 0:22:37.320 --> 0:22:49.640 is really really dangerous because actually introducing home very much. So. 0:22:49.640 --> 0:22:52.720 So here's a little bit of health information, especially for 0:22:53.680 --> 0:22:56.960 women who are out there that her yesterday, I watched 0:22:56.960 --> 0:22:59.879 it on the news. Actually, I was sitting in the 0:23:00.320 --> 0:23:05.560 doctor's office waiting for my um ultrasound and mammogram appointment 0:23:05.600 --> 0:23:08.959 in which it has received my report and they did 0:23:09.040 --> 0:23:13.960 not find any breast cancer anywhere from under my arm, 0:23:14.080 --> 0:23:18.600 which is the nymph, the men lint whatever, thank you 0:23:18.880 --> 0:23:23.160 lymph nodes things, um, you know, to my breast. And 0:23:23.320 --> 0:23:25.959 you know, by the way, ladies, I was gonna talk 0:23:25.960 --> 0:23:29.200 about something else, but this is important when you are 0:23:29.240 --> 0:23:32.080 having issues, if you feel a bump of pain or whatever. 0:23:32.119 --> 0:23:36.320 And I know insurances some cover different things me personally, 0:23:36.480 --> 0:23:39.960 I have to pay out of pocket for the ultrasound 0:23:39.960 --> 0:23:45.119 portion of my mammogram because my insurance covers mammogram, but 0:23:45.160 --> 0:23:48.360 it does not cover me getting an ultrasound unless there 0:23:48.440 --> 0:23:53.439 is something seriously wrong. However, the ultrasound is important because 0:23:53.480 --> 0:23:57.760 the mammograms at times it can different things can be hidden, 0:23:57.840 --> 0:24:01.119 cancer can hide in different spaces. Is so the ultra 0:24:01.200 --> 0:24:04.119 sound is an extra reassurance of what the mammogram has 0:24:04.160 --> 0:24:06.720 already said. So my first mammogram report said that it 0:24:06.800 --> 0:24:10.600 did not detect cancer. It was negative UM. Maybe a 0:24:10.640 --> 0:24:12.879
