WEBVTT - Conversations About The Old Me 0:00:01.840 --> 0:00:04.400 What's up and welcome back to another episode of No 0:00:04.519 --> 0:00:07.440 Sealers Podcast with your hosts Now Fuck That with your 0:00:07.520 --> 0:00:09.200 loaw glasses Malone. 0:00:14.440 --> 0:00:15.680 It's been a crazy week. 0:00:16.800 --> 0:00:20.360 I consider myself like a liberal for the most part. 0:00:23.040 --> 0:00:27.120 My dad, my dad is probably one of the most 0:00:27.160 --> 0:00:32.320 conservative people I know, but obviously he don't identify as. 0:00:32.479 --> 0:00:34.080 Conservative because. 0:00:35.880 --> 0:00:38.960 Racist white people like klu Klux Klan, racist white people 0:00:39.000 --> 0:00:45.040 identify as conservative. So he finds himself identifying as liberal 0:00:45.120 --> 0:00:49.159 because regardless of everything they got in common, good Boy 0:00:49.320 --> 0:00:52.800 refuses to be saw on the same side as the 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:53.760 Ku Klux Klan. 0:00:56.160 --> 0:00:58.720 But my whole life, I think I've always. 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:02.760 Lived did pretty liberal, And I know that sounds crazy 0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:06.399 to a lot of people because I think naturally people 0:01:06.440 --> 0:01:09.640 would think of my views as conservative because I'm educated 0:01:09.720 --> 0:01:18.080 on conservative views. All my partners I grew up with 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:22.959 went to church, so I'm aware of the teachings even 0:01:23.000 --> 0:01:25.480 when I wasn't going to church, I'm aware of the teachings, 0:01:25.520 --> 0:01:29.040 you know what I'm saying of spirituality, and which is 0:01:29.040 --> 0:01:32.880 crazy when you think about it, right, because it's like, 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.240 I look at everything that's going on in the world today, right, 0:01:38.319 --> 0:01:39.120 and I'm one of them. 0:01:39.160 --> 0:01:39.720 Type of people. 0:01:39.760 --> 0:01:41.920 All my partners was going to church, like I was saying, 0:01:42.040 --> 0:01:46.039 just a second ago, and instead of going to church, 0:01:46.040 --> 0:01:47.800 and my mom was a work and she was a 0:01:47.800 --> 0:01:50.000 working mom, you know, her and my dad wasn't together. 0:01:50.080 --> 0:01:52.480 So my mom worked a lot of hours to make 0:01:52.520 --> 0:01:54.559 sure we had everything we need in this life. 0:01:56.040 --> 0:01:59.760 But you know, I didn't really go to church like that. 0:02:00.560 --> 0:02:03.120 So instead of going to church, I started to study 0:02:03.320 --> 0:02:09.480 the origins of certain disciplines. And religion is simply defined 0:02:09.480 --> 0:02:12.679 as the belief in God. It's not defined as any 0:02:12.680 --> 0:02:16.080 of the disciplines that we practice that belief. 0:02:16.520 --> 0:02:16.760 You know. 0:02:16.800 --> 0:02:21.480 The disciplines are obviously the popular ones are Christianity, Catholicism 0:02:21.600 --> 0:02:27.000 like Catholics, Islam, you know, Buddhism, Judaism. You know, it's 0:02:27.040 --> 0:02:31.080 a really popular discipline, but people tend to call them religions, 0:02:31.800 --> 0:02:33.840 you know what I'm saying. But religion is simply defined 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:37.440 as the belief in God. But while all my partners 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:39.600 was going to church, you know, with their moms, their 0:02:39.639 --> 0:02:46.080 grandmas or whoever, I was reading about the origins of Christianity, 0:02:46.760 --> 0:02:49.480 you know, instead of just you know, going out. You know, 0:02:49.520 --> 0:02:51.760 my mom wasn't taking me, so I would read and 0:02:52.040 --> 0:02:57.680 research the origins of Christianity, and you know what I 0:02:57.760 --> 0:03:01.440 came across has been crazy, the most unique things. 0:03:01.480 --> 0:03:04.040 I think. We've talked about it on No Cilans. 0:03:04.120 --> 0:03:07.680 This is No Cillans Jail by myself today, so I 0:03:07.680 --> 0:03:16.000 can really dive into my thoughts. But one of one 0:03:16.080 --> 0:03:18.520 crazy thought is when I go back to the first 0:03:18.560 --> 0:03:22.680 mass following the Christ that was formed in Africa, northern Africa. 0:03:23.000 --> 0:03:27.760 You know what I'm saying, back in the early you know, 0:03:27.840 --> 0:03:30.880 two thousand years ago, the first mass following the Christ 0:03:31.000 --> 0:03:35.800 was formed in Africa, but what we call Christianity, right, 0:03:36.040 --> 0:03:39.840 was formed in this kind of greater area they called Rome, 0:03:40.000 --> 0:03:42.360 not Rome Italy, but Rome, you know what I mean. 0:03:42.400 --> 0:03:47.040 Imagine Rome as being like Europe at the time. Imagine 0:03:47.080 --> 0:03:49.520 not quite, but imagine. 0:03:49.680 --> 0:03:54.760 And there was a ruler named Constantine, and Constantine, you know, 0:03:56.440 --> 0:03:58.920 was a guy who had dominion over all of Rome, 0:03:59.880 --> 0:04:02.800 and wrong was just in chaos, like everybody was fighting, 0:04:03.200 --> 0:04:05.320 you know what I mean, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, fighting, 0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:07.800 going crazy, killing each other crazy. You know, it's nothing 0:04:08.200 --> 0:04:10.400 this world is nothing new that we see going on 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:13.880 in America when everybody lose it, It's been happening. But you know, 0:04:13.960 --> 0:04:18.080 what they fought over could be different. I'm sure most 0:04:18.080 --> 0:04:21.479 of y'all heard the term pagan. Pagan is like a 0:04:21.600 --> 0:04:24.520 racial slur for people who didn't believe in God in 0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:27.160 the sky. So if you believe, like how people right 0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:31.040 now say the universe, like a Christian at that time 0:04:31.120 --> 0:04:33.920 would refer to this person as a pagan. So when 0:04:33.920 --> 0:04:35.680 you hear those people saying, well, the universe, like how 0:04:35.760 --> 0:04:39.440 Rikabaidu told Blueface this week, where the universe, universe, do 0:04:39.480 --> 0:04:42.480 your thing to him, people would consider her a pagan 0:04:42.720 --> 0:04:46.279 because it's denying God in the sky. So people who 0:04:46.279 --> 0:04:50.520 believed in earth, you know, the sun, the conditions nature, 0:04:50.640 --> 0:04:53.800 any of that stuff, were considered pagans, and they would 0:04:53.839 --> 0:04:58.520 fight and kill over this shit. They would fight and 0:04:58.600 --> 0:05:01.440 kill over this shit. Buckers would be killing and fighting, 0:05:01.520 --> 0:05:03.120 just like right now. You know, if you look over 0:05:03.120 --> 0:05:08.120 there in Israel, you know you have you know, Islam 0:05:08.279 --> 0:05:12.400 versus Judaism, you know what I'm saying, Like they're fighting 0:05:12.440 --> 0:05:14.440 over the same thing. But this was the main thing. 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:18.080 This was the gangs of that time. So Constantine got 0:05:18.160 --> 0:05:21.360 tired of all of these people beefing, killing each other, 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:25.280 killing each other, so he got with a bunch of priests, 0:05:25.480 --> 0:05:28.400 different people, and they kind of had this really big meeting, 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:29.159 this conference. 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:31.920 I think you've heard of it. It's called the Council 0:05:31.920 --> 0:05:32.520 and I see it. 0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:40.120 And they started putting together the discipline we know as Christianity, and. 0:05:40.080 --> 0:05:41.880 The goal was to unite Rome. 0:05:43.040 --> 0:05:48.320 The goal of it wasn't as much as people believe about, 0:05:48.920 --> 0:05:52.240 you know, honoring God, like I think that was very 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:56.320 much the cornerstone, but it also was about uniting people 0:05:56.520 --> 0:05:58.360 from hurting themselves and hurting each other, you know what 0:05:58.360 --> 0:06:00.520 I'm saying. It was getting out of hand. So a 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.200 lot of things that you hear when people say, oh, 0:06:03.279 --> 0:06:07.000 you know, oh this is a pagan holiday and blah 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:07.599 blah blah. 0:06:07.839 --> 0:06:08.279 So forth. 0:06:08.320 --> 0:06:11.440 A song that was given to people to unite them, 0:06:11.600 --> 0:06:14.800 to make Rome unite, and it was successful. Rome did 0:06:14.960 --> 0:06:18.560 stop fighting, you know for a while, and they were together, 0:06:18.800 --> 0:06:21.320 you know, they were able to enjoy life together. 0:06:21.040 --> 0:06:23.600 And that was important. And that's what. 0:06:25.480 --> 0:06:29.200 The concept of God does for people, you know what 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:34.320 I'm saying, Like it gives them order in their life. 0:06:34.520 --> 0:06:36.479 I got homies who, like, you know, I don't believe 0:06:36.520 --> 0:06:39.200 in God because it religion just try to control people. 0:06:39.920 --> 0:06:43.800 Because people need to be fucking controlled. People are out 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:46.839 of control. I say all that to say, and you 0:06:46.960 --> 0:06:50.640 fast forward and you look at America right now. Every 0:06:50.720 --> 0:06:54.240 day they take God away from this country. Every day 0:06:54.279 --> 0:06:57.400 they take God away from this country, and it just 0:06:57.440 --> 0:07:02.719 get crazier. The shit is crazier every day. I was 0:07:02.760 --> 0:07:05.440 looking at the on Twitter and there was a dude 0:07:05.520 --> 0:07:08.120 knocked out two girls and Okay, they messing with your 0:07:08.120 --> 0:07:09.640 old lady, but you knock him out, but then he 0:07:09.760 --> 0:07:13.120 kicks them in the head, and shit, it's crazy. Niggas 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:16.080 is shooting up graduations, you know what I mean. Like 0:07:16.120 --> 0:07:19.400 a graduation got shot up in Virginia, and you know, 0:07:19.480 --> 0:07:22.080 I'm sure it had to be something serious and you 0:07:22.200 --> 0:07:24.160 had a chance to get your man, so you snapped 0:07:24.200 --> 0:07:27.200 at the graduation. But it's had a fucking graduation with 0:07:27.320 --> 0:07:31.040 other kids and the gangster his niggas don't try to 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:36.800 expose children to violence or women to violence. But because 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:39.320 God is being took away from this country every day, 0:07:41.600 --> 0:07:43.720 discipline is took away from this country every day. 0:07:44.920 --> 0:07:46.360 Most human beings get. 0:07:46.240 --> 0:07:51.520 Their morality right from spirituality, from that discipline. That's more 0:07:51.520 --> 0:07:54.800 where morality come from. Other than that, why would you 0:07:54.840 --> 0:08:00.840 be morally correct it's not innate. It's not innate amongst animals. 0:08:02.040 --> 0:08:06.520 Animals eat and kill when they're hungry, eat and kill 0:08:06.560 --> 0:08:09.520 when they're hungry. We want to depend on you know, 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:11.720 we want to talk about our IQ as a more 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.080 of a sophisticated being on this planet, more of a 0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:18.160 sophisticated mammal. But at the end of the day, we 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:21.040 just really a bunch of people trying to feed our hunger. 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:26.800 But fast forward, you know, we take away God, you know, 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.280 every day out of this country and you got people 0:08:29.360 --> 0:08:34.000 just wilding out, more crazier than ever. Back to my 0:08:34.080 --> 0:08:37.200 original point, I digress where I grew up pretty liberal 0:08:38.920 --> 0:08:41.160 with all this pride stuff going on, that never really 0:08:41.200 --> 0:08:44.040 affects me because you know, I'm not. 0:08:44.120 --> 0:08:47.520 Necessarily I just don't give a fuck. 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.480 Obviously, I don't want nobody ass kick because they are, 0:08:52.320 --> 0:08:57.520 you know, of their sexual preference. But you know, I 0:08:57.559 --> 0:09:00.360 don't have to get in the middle of it of 0:09:00.360 --> 0:09:02.679 making sure don't nobody kick somebody ass just because they 0:09:02.720 --> 0:09:05.320 gave right as the closest I would get into it, 0:09:05.320 --> 0:09:07.040 like we don't got to kick his ass because he gave. 0:09:07.080 --> 0:09:10.840 That's just silly, right, But I'm looking at it and 0:09:10.880 --> 0:09:13.559 now I'm looking at all the stuff going on with Target. 0:09:14.000 --> 0:09:18.760 Companies like Target, people are boycotting Target. They're losing nine figures, 0:09:18.800 --> 0:09:23.920 ten figures, and they're not changing stride. Companies like bud 0:09:24.000 --> 0:09:28.640 Light losing ten digits and they not losing stride. They 0:09:28.760 --> 0:09:32.560 not even breaking They not changing like every other company 0:09:32.600 --> 0:09:35.960 when the thought of losing money, they change strides. But 0:09:36.320 --> 0:09:39.439 them actually losing money, they won't even break stride in 0:09:39.480 --> 0:09:41.960 their support. And I don't want to think it's because 0:09:41.960 --> 0:09:44.920 they're like some kind of morally upstanding company, because that 0:09:45.120 --> 0:09:45.720 just ain't true. 0:09:45.760 --> 0:09:48.640 They buy shit from slave laborer all the time. 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.760 So it makes me always ask myself, what's the deeper question, 0:09:52.920 --> 0:09:57.920 you know, what's really going on? I digress again. The 0:09:57.960 --> 0:10:00.440 point of me being liberal, right is, growing up, I 0:10:00.440 --> 0:10:06.840 didn't think there was any way possible you could convince 0:10:06.840 --> 0:10:10.719 somebody to be gay, Like I genuinely used to think 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.480 you had to be born that way, or something messed 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:14.360 up had. 0:10:14.160 --> 0:10:16.320 To happen to you, you know what I mean. 0:10:16.360 --> 0:10:18.400 That's what I thought when I was a teenager and 0:10:18.440 --> 0:10:21.199 even younger. I was like, yo, if you are committed 0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.640 to taking penis bro you are a different individual. 0:10:24.760 --> 0:10:25.840 You can't play with that. 0:10:26.400 --> 0:10:28.960 So I never thought that there was no way a 0:10:29.000 --> 0:10:32.480 motherfucker could act like they gain. You couldn't even convince 0:10:32.640 --> 0:10:36.559 or influence a motherfucker to be gay. It's what I thought. 0:10:37.240 --> 0:10:42.000 Fast forward thirty years. I'm a fucking adult in America, 0:10:42.760 --> 0:10:48.719 and I watch adults say the craziest shit, like the influence, 0:10:50.080 --> 0:10:56.120 how easy it is to influence other human beings, Like 0:10:56.400 --> 0:11:00.720 human beings are like dying to be manipult lady, Cuz 0:11:00.880 --> 0:11:03.880 like dying to be They're dying to be a part 0:11:03.920 --> 0:11:04.439 of something. 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:08.960 Dying that's a driving force in their existence is to 0:11:09.000 --> 0:11:09.559 group up. 0:11:11.400 --> 0:11:13.400 And now I look at certain things where I look 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:16.240 at certain rappers and I'll be like, yo, I don't 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:19.360 think this person is gay. I have never met a 0:11:19.400 --> 0:11:23.080 person growing up that I didn't think was gay. If 0:11:23.120 --> 0:11:25.200 you told me you was gay, I fucking believe you, 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:28.880 because it required a commitment. Now they are artists in 0:11:28.960 --> 0:11:31.920 this fold that I'm like, that person ain't gay. They 0:11:32.000 --> 0:11:36.240 are literally taking advantage of the prod of the clout 0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:40.320 and the awareness that comes with it, the buzz that 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.720 comes with it. But I say that to say is 0:11:43.880 --> 0:11:50.480 today is different. I listen to people say stuff like 0:11:50.520 --> 0:11:54.199 they think they're gay, they don't know. It's it's almost 0:11:54.240 --> 0:11:56.360 like it's an option, and that shit is no option. 0:11:56.480 --> 0:11:59.640 That's a real thing. That shit ain't nothing to be 0:11:59.679 --> 0:12:00.199 played with. 0:12:02.240 --> 0:12:04.480 And I think, like the more I look at all 0:12:04.480 --> 0:12:06.960 of the propaganda going on, I think it started from 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:11.400 a really sincere place where it was like, you know, people. 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:13.320 Were when I was growing up, it was tough. 0:12:13.080 --> 0:12:15.840 For somebody if they were you know, if their sexual 0:12:15.880 --> 0:12:17.840 preference or lifestyle was a little different. 0:12:18.600 --> 0:12:20.040 You know what I mean, it was a little different. 0:12:20.080 --> 0:12:22.560 Like you you probably did get stick like you probably 0:12:22.559 --> 0:12:26.320 got it tough, like motherfuckers was gonna be on your ass, right, 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.120 So I can't deny that. So I did respect it 0:12:29.160 --> 0:12:31.320 at first, you know what I mean, Whereas like damn, 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.959 we're trying to underlet people know that some people are 0:12:34.000 --> 0:12:36.439 just born this way and it ain't no getting out 0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:39.319 of it. It ain't no getting out of it, you 0:12:39.360 --> 0:12:41.439 know what I'm saying. So we have to find it, 0:12:41.920 --> 0:12:44.520 find a way for people in society to let this 0:12:44.600 --> 0:12:48.640 be okay, no different than any other you know, oppressed 0:12:48.679 --> 0:12:50.079 grouped in this country, you know what I mean that 0:12:50.160 --> 0:12:53.320 were getting targeted just because of something that they couldn't help. 0:12:55.400 --> 0:12:57.160 It made sense to me at that point. 0:12:58.200 --> 0:13:03.080 But fast forward, man, today, it don't feel like that. 0:13:06.800 --> 0:13:11.600 It don't feel like that. It don't feel like that. 0:13:11.760 --> 0:13:15.679 My cousin told her mom she was non binary one week, 0:13:16.720 --> 0:13:20.319 Like you're teaching somebody words that there's no way that 0:13:20.440 --> 0:13:23.440 mind could understand. Now, don't get me wrong, I think 0:13:23.480 --> 0:13:28.480 there are situations where if a little boy is growing 0:13:28.559 --> 0:13:32.319 up believing that he's a little girl, there is some 0:13:33.000 --> 0:13:36.520 weirdness about it. I mean, like minus the weirdness or 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.520 the strangeness, but there's something you have to take it serious, 0:13:39.640 --> 0:13:41.840 you know what I mean. But then again, I also 0:13:42.000 --> 0:13:45.840 wonder to myself what do people think of girls? Like 0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:48.560 if you look at like, let's say there actually is 0:13:48.600 --> 0:13:51.760 a homosexual culture, why would there be a culture to 0:13:51.880 --> 0:13:55.000 straighten to a preference of sex? Like, how do you 0:13:55.040 --> 0:13:57.880 develop a lingo towards a preference of sex? How do 0:13:57.920 --> 0:14:00.600 you develop a fashion? And it's starting hit me right 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:07.160 that no matter how they see it, most of these people, 0:14:07.760 --> 0:14:12.760 if they're homosexual, tend to think like okay, because they 0:14:13.360 --> 0:14:16.600 like men, right, a man that likes a man, somebody 0:14:16.720 --> 0:14:19.080 has to be like a woman because if you think 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:22.120 of how that culture is developed. It's all based off 0:14:22.160 --> 0:14:29.280 of like stereotypes of women. I saw this My people 0:14:29.320 --> 0:14:33.080 put me up on this motherfucking uh interview back in 0:14:33.120 --> 0:14:38.840 the day with I think it was like Oprah Winfrey and. 0:14:40.440 --> 0:14:43.040 This man was asking this transwoman. 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.920 You know, it was a man who somebody was born 0:14:45.920 --> 0:14:49.320 a male and you know, believe they were women. So 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:52.520 they transitioned right and they became a woman. But and 0:14:52.560 --> 0:14:54.960 he was saying, like, what is a woman? The man 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:57.720 was asking the trans woman what is a woman? And 0:14:57.760 --> 0:15:01.800 he was like, well, I can't define womanhood. And I 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.320 thought about when he kept you know, when the trans 0:15:04.360 --> 0:15:08.520 woman kept saying that, I kept thinking about why that 0:15:08.640 --> 0:15:12.720 was being said. I was like, so, if womanhood can't 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.680 be defined, then you can be yourself, your natural self 0:15:16.960 --> 0:15:20.520 and be a woman. You know, this particular trans woman 0:15:20.600 --> 0:15:23.960 was wearing dresses and shit cuz and wigs and makeup 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:26.880 and had a beard and heels. 0:15:26.480 --> 0:15:26.960 And all of this. 0:15:27.280 --> 0:15:33.080 Then why are you wearing the apparel that means you 0:15:33.120 --> 0:15:36.480 could literally just be yourself and be a woman if 0:15:36.560 --> 0:15:44.080 womanhood could not be defined. It's so many crazy, crazy 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:48.640 cuz crazy thoughts going on out here, and people so 0:15:48.920 --> 0:15:52.400 full of shit and just you know, Chris Rock did 0:15:52.400 --> 0:15:55.720 a special and I thought it was I thought it 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:56.440 was like cool. 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:58.600 I gave it like a B minus, maybe even a 0:15:58.640 --> 0:16:00.520 C plus. But the more I think. 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.920 About the shit, Cuz was saying that shit was so deep, 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:08.120 like motherfuckers is trying to connect so bad that they 0:16:08.640 --> 0:16:15.320 we just did a podcast about connection and attention being 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:19.080 their own agents no longer agents a care. That's a 0:16:19.120 --> 0:16:23.680 perfect example where people are frauding so much about connecting 0:16:23.720 --> 0:16:27.240 with somebody's mission and purpose that literally they don't even 0:16:27.280 --> 0:16:29.880 care about it, but just to look proper in other 0:16:29.920 --> 0:16:34.400 people's eyes, they will act like they care. Like Chris 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.520 Rock did a special when he was talking about lu 0:16:36.600 --> 0:16:41.080 lu Lemons talking about they will donate the money, like 0:16:41.240 --> 0:16:43.120 so much of the money that they make per for 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:47.600 one hundred dollars yoga pants to some cause, like we 0:16:47.720 --> 0:16:49.920 just want to give back. And it's like, well why 0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:52.480 not charge people twins? That's the world we live in, 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:55.440 and it it got so crazy. 0:16:55.480 --> 0:16:55.640 Man. 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:58.400 You can't go to a cash register at a restaurant 0:16:58.400 --> 0:17:02.360 without them begging for somebody, Oh, would you like to 0:17:02.440 --> 0:17:04.440 leave your change for the Salvation army? 0:17:04.560 --> 0:17:11.000 Fuck No, like this shit is crazy. 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:16.280 And I remember just thinking to myself as a kid, like, oh, well, 0:17:16.680 --> 0:17:20.439 you know this don't matter. All this shit I didn't 0:17:20.480 --> 0:17:23.200 think mattered or I didn't care about because it have 0:17:23.320 --> 0:17:26.200 nothing to do with me. I'm starting to realize all 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:31.280 this shit has something to do with me. All this shit, 0:17:33.240 --> 0:17:37.040 and it get worse and fucking worse. It's worse and 0:17:37.160 --> 0:17:40.160 fucking worse. Man, I don't know how you motherfuckers do it. 0:17:42.480 --> 0:17:45.040 I'm in a group chat with some of my hoop buddies. 0:17:45.040 --> 0:17:45.680 Man, I got a. 0:17:45.640 --> 0:17:48.520 Really dope group chat with some real dope NBA players, 0:17:48.560 --> 0:17:50.679 dope brothers from all the different parts of this country. 0:17:50.680 --> 0:17:55.400 And it's one of my favorite group chats. And we 0:17:55.400 --> 0:18:00.760 were talking about Dirk and Kanye. Growing up as a kid, 0:18:00.880 --> 0:18:05.080 I always understood everything I like, didn't mean it had 0:18:05.119 --> 0:18:05.800 to be the best. 0:18:06.760 --> 0:18:09.720 I can just like something, you know what I mean? 0:18:09.840 --> 0:18:12.600 Like I can like Charles Barkley and no, he's not 0:18:12.640 --> 0:18:15.320 better than Kareem ma du Jabbar. I can like Charles 0:18:15.320 --> 0:18:17.800 Barkley more as a basketball player, and no, he's not 0:18:17.840 --> 0:18:20.400 a greater player than Kareem mab du Jabbar. 0:18:20.640 --> 0:18:23.119 But that's changed. Back to this basketball group chat, I'm 0:18:23.160 --> 0:18:24.000 talking to some of my. 0:18:23.920 --> 0:18:28.280 Young partners and they telling me that Dirk is their goat, 0:18:29.359 --> 0:18:31.720 and Dirk is one of those artists that I genuinely 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:34.280 feel is like Dirk is average. 0:18:34.920 --> 0:18:36.879 Not like I'm not slandering him average. 0:18:36.920 --> 0:18:39.720 I mean like literally, he puts together words pretty decent, 0:18:41.480 --> 0:18:44.360 decent melody, nothing like he's not thug with melody, He's 0:18:44.359 --> 0:18:46.600 not you know, whole with the word play. I think 0:18:46.640 --> 0:18:49.359 he just has a good commentat He's an average rapper 0:18:49.520 --> 0:18:52.879 as a professional. And they were like, oh, he's the goat, 0:18:53.040 --> 0:18:56.560 He's the greatest of all time. And out the same 0:18:56.680 --> 0:19:00.879 mom told me Kanye West was whack and I was like, 0:19:01.560 --> 0:19:04.320 what I mean, Kanye West whack or Kanye West music 0:19:04.480 --> 0:19:09.480 is whack, because no, his music is whack. And I'm like, huh, 0:19:10.359 --> 0:19:12.399 And that just was the strangest thing. And it's not 0:19:12.520 --> 0:19:17.640 because I'm like this huge Kanye fan. It's like, Kanye 0:19:17.760 --> 0:19:21.639 music is obviously good. Like whatever you want to say 0:19:21.680 --> 0:19:23.960 about him, he could be the weirdest motherfucker breathing there. 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:26.800 I think Jewish people will tell you Kanye's music is 0:19:26.840 --> 0:19:28.840 good and he you know, so they say he's been 0:19:28.840 --> 0:19:29.640 on the slander tour. 0:19:29.920 --> 0:19:31.879 I think Kim Gardashian ambarros his. 0:19:31.920 --> 0:19:34.600 Ex holes to tell you his music is good even 0:19:34.600 --> 0:19:35.600 if they don't like him. 0:19:35.760 --> 0:19:37.920 So for two brothers, young brothers that tell me he. 0:19:37.960 --> 0:19:40.239 Was whack, and one of them told me, they was like, 0:19:41.280 --> 0:19:43.920 Dirk is more of my swag, Kanye my swag. And 0:19:43.960 --> 0:19:49.080 I'm thinking to myself, like, you two niggas are Kanye West. 0:19:49.400 --> 0:19:50.840 These two niggas went to college. 0:19:50.880 --> 0:19:54.000 They ain't been in no trenches, they ain't went through 0:19:54.040 --> 0:19:57.760 none of the struggles that being in the trenches give you, 0:19:58.359 --> 0:19:59.800 and they was like, yeah, Dirk is more of my 0:20:02.160 --> 0:20:08.200 I just was listening to these niggas like that's crazy. 0:20:09.040 --> 0:20:17.120 It was just unbelievable. But that's where we act today. 0:20:17.800 --> 0:20:21.640 I can't imagine, like I can't even like if we 0:20:21.720 --> 0:20:24.480 don't all chime in because on what's going on in 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:28.760 the world, rest is sure. This whole thing is connected. 0:20:29.240 --> 0:20:32.120 The plants is connected to the animals, The animals connected 0:20:32.160 --> 0:20:36.600 to us, us to the yo egos, fear, everything is connected. 0:20:37.240 --> 0:20:40.360 So anything we don't speak on, or anything we don't 0:20:40.359 --> 0:20:43.760 actually have an opinion on it very much has something 0:20:43.760 --> 0:20:47.240 to do with you. You can't sit around this motherfucker 0:20:47.400 --> 0:20:51.320 and act like you don't know. You can't sit around 0:20:51.359 --> 0:20:55.240 this motherfucker, act like it don't matter. That's not liberal 0:20:55.320 --> 0:20:59.159 at all. See, and that's what I realized. Am I 0:20:59.240 --> 0:21:00.320 truly a liberal rule? 0:21:00.440 --> 0:21:05.520 Right? Because because I just didn't give a fuck? Now again, 0:21:05.840 --> 0:21:06.400 that don't. 0:21:06.240 --> 0:21:09.280 Mean I'm hitler for homosexual people, I'm not oppressing them. 0:21:09.320 --> 0:21:12.200 I ain't gonna go out and fight nobody fucking gay. 0:21:12.240 --> 0:21:13.720 I don't give a fuck if you're gay or not. 0:21:13.840 --> 0:21:16.480 That fucking no matter to me. As far as how 0:21:16.560 --> 0:21:19.600 we need to interact and do business or be friends 0:21:19.720 --> 0:21:21.680 or whatever. You know what I mean, it don't matter. 0:21:22.680 --> 0:21:26.320 But the excuse can no longer be I'm liberal because 0:21:26.359 --> 0:21:31.040 I don't care. I actually do care. See, there is 0:21:31.080 --> 0:21:34.240 a space that I care about people getting fucked up 0:21:34.359 --> 0:21:37.600 just because of a sexual preference. I'm not cool with that, 0:21:39.160 --> 0:21:41.600 straight up. I fight a motherfucker about that. Like, I 0:21:41.640 --> 0:21:44.520 ain't gonna like if my homeboy gay, and you think 0:21:44.520 --> 0:21:46.359 you're gonna fight my homi because you gay, You getting 0:21:46.440 --> 0:21:49.000 junk by a gay nigga and a motherfucking crip. 0:21:50.400 --> 0:21:51.040 You know what I'm saying. 0:21:51.040 --> 0:21:54.400 That's real, because that's not gonna change how I interact 0:21:54.440 --> 0:21:58.440 with him. But it's also I'm not okay with it 0:21:59.520 --> 0:22:03.919 being a reason you target somebody. But at this point, 0:22:03.960 --> 0:22:09.600 the promotion is way past just promoting a safe environment 0:22:10.200 --> 0:22:13.720 for people that belong to a specific community. 0:22:15.119 --> 0:22:17.480 It's way way. 0:22:17.720 --> 0:22:22.080 Way, way, way way past that way way way way 0:22:22.119 --> 0:22:28.280 past that. We so far past that shit is scary. 0:22:28.480 --> 0:22:35.000 We so past that shit is scary. I think a 0:22:35.080 --> 0:22:39.600 huge issue again is taking God away from people. If 0:22:39.640 --> 0:22:43.280 you take God away from people, you're gonna take morality 0:22:43.280 --> 0:22:45.600 away from a lot of people. Most people can't they 0:22:45.600 --> 0:22:47.600 don't have enough time in their life to read and 0:22:47.680 --> 0:22:51.640 formulate their own morality. Most people come from really different circumstances. 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:55.160 There's a huge amount of people that come from fucked 0:22:55.200 --> 0:22:58.919 up circumstances. You know, like poverty is not as common, 0:22:59.080 --> 0:23:02.200 but that's as sure people getting by check to check 0:23:02.680 --> 0:23:05.480 and they pairs bust the ass. You know, that's a 0:23:05.560 --> 0:23:08.919 big population in this country. So a lot of people 0:23:09.080 --> 0:23:14.240 only have that spirituality place that placed a fellowship and 0:23:14.400 --> 0:23:19.160 church and shit to really create morality. That's the only 0:23:19.200 --> 0:23:22.560 place they have. They don't have no fuckingwhere else. They 0:23:22.720 --> 0:23:28.399 not reading books, prime example. I feel like i'm pretty 0:23:28.440 --> 0:23:31.480 much a sophisticated person. A lot of times, I read 0:23:31.520 --> 0:23:33.480
