It hasn't been implied that he's 190 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: a man, but I think it's a man because I 191 00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: don't think that a dude would open up to his 192 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: homegirl about, you know, his nut situation, right, I don't. 193 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,120 Speaker 1: I don't think that that that men most men will 194 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:58,280 Speaker 1: talk to their homegirl about that, you know what I'm saying. 195 00:09:59,480 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 3: And I a don't think this. 196 00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,200 Speaker 1: I don't think that a marriage being called off as 197 00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,440 Speaker 1: the devastating plotline, like, men don't give a fuck about that, 198 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:08,560 Speaker 1: you know what I mean? So I don't think the 199 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: cousin exists. I don't think the cousin's friend exists. I 200 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: think Nicki Minaj is full of shit, and she pulled 201 00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,520 Speaker 1: out I goddamn soul and ball wedding called off. 202 00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,360 Speaker 3: Hypothetical. That's where I'm at with it. 203 00:10:20,640 --> 00:10:21,240 Speaker 2: What if? 204 00:10:21,520 --> 00:10:23,680 Speaker 3: What if you're way too much thought to this shit? 205 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:26,720 Speaker 2: Bro? Wait, here's my what if response? What if it 206 00:10:26,800 --> 00:10:29,640 Speaker 2: is a woman cousin and the friend is a man, 207 00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 2: and Nicki Minaja's cousin is the one who slept with 208 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,280 Speaker 2: the man and gave him the clasp and fucked his wedding. 209 00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:38,440 Speaker 2: It's a big class. So what if Nicki Minaj is 210 00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:42,079 Speaker 2: hearing man? My name's getting dragged through the streets in 211 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:44,640 Speaker 2: Trinidad right now. My cousin's out here being a homewrecord. 212 00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:48,400 Speaker 2: So she calls her cousin, and the cousin says, uh, 213 00:10:48,440 --> 00:10:50,560 Speaker 2: you know what, he got the vaccine and his boss 214 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,880 Speaker 2: that's why they called the wedding off. You know, I'm 215 00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:56,120 Speaker 2: not out here ruining the Minaj name. 216 00:10:58,240 --> 00:11:00,720 Speaker 1: Here's here's here's another point that that I forgot to 217 00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:05,080 Speaker 1: mention why I think this cousin doesn't exist. It's we 218 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 1: know that odds are that this cousin is not in 219 00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,720 Speaker 1: Nicki Minaj's tax bracket right, ninety nine percent of the 220 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:12,840 Speaker 1: people on the planet aren't, right, So odds are that 221 00:11:12,920 --> 00:11:14,839 Speaker 1: this person is nowhere near as wealthy as Nicki Minaj. 222 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,959 Speaker 1: Nicki Minaj does not strike me as someone who talks 223 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:19,680 Speaker 1: to the poors, the family or. 224 00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 3: Not, you know what I mean. 225 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:24,880 Speaker 1: She does not strike me as someone who conversates with 226 00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:27,920 Speaker 1: the normals. So that's another reason why I think this 227 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 1: cousin doesn't exist, bro. 228 00:11:29,600 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 4: But the thing is, what if the cousin exists, and 229 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 4: what if he just lied and it isn't std And 230 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:38,880 Speaker 4: this lie made it all the way to Nicki Minaj's timeline, 231 00:11:39,360 --> 00:11:42,360 Speaker 4: and it's like, goddamn, this was not supposed to make 232 00:11:42,360 --> 00:11:44,880 Speaker 4: it this far, you know what I mean.

Them BECAUSE i literally 850 00:41:36,760 --> 00:41:41,839 Speaker 2: had marked the exact same passage That nyler to, read 851 00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,399 Speaker 2: like you never that's like you never get that from 852 00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:47,480 Speaker 2: like you never get that from like liking the same 853 00:41:47,520 --> 00:41:49,200 Speaker 2: scene in a, movie you know WHAT i? Mean like 854 00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:53,800 Speaker 2: that that was that tripped me. OUT I i think 855 00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:56,880 Speaker 2: something that the simplest move he made in this, book 856 00:41:56,920 --> 00:41:59,640 Speaker 2: but THAT i think changes the perspective for the whole, 857 00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:03,799 Speaker 2: thing is that he never uses the word. Slaves he 858 00:42:03,960 --> 00:42:08,120 Speaker 2: uses the phrase enslaved. People AND i think that that 859 00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:13,480 Speaker 2: is the exact shift That john was talking. About we 860 00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:16,319 Speaker 2: talk about slavery and we talk, about, oh there were 861 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:18,680 Speaker 2: quote unquote slaves when we talk about the history of, 862 00:42:18,680 --> 00:42:22,440 Speaker 2: country but that's Not it's exactly What tyler, Said and 863 00:42:22,480 --> 00:42:25,359 Speaker 2: that was WHY i had marked the same. Passage is 864 00:42:26,640 --> 00:42:29,960 Speaker 2: the way that you reckon with the history is to 865 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:33,920 Speaker 2: understand the, numbers is to understand that every time you 866 00:42:34,040 --> 00:42:40,359 Speaker 2: hear one person who is, enslaved that's, you or that's your, 867 00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:42,920 Speaker 2: kid or it's your mom or it's your, dad and 868 00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:46,440 Speaker 2: they're exactly the same amount of a person as. You 869 00:42:46,680 --> 00:42:50,920 Speaker 2: AND i don't think THAT i think that intentionally obviously 870 00:42:51,040 --> 00:42:54,400 Speaker 2: through hundreds of years of effort we have as a 871 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:59,480 Speaker 2: country not thought of people who are enslaved that. Way you, 872 00:42:59,520 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 2: know Like tyler mentioned the myths around the benevolent plantation 873 00:43:04,719 --> 00:43:10,200 Speaker 2: owner owners or you, know there's this idea of, like, 874 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,680 Speaker 2: oh they were being educated and fed or you, know 875 00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:16,160 Speaker 2: and it's like, that but that's really something people were, 876 00:43:16,200 --> 00:43:18,480 Speaker 2: like and he talks about that in The Whitney. Plantation 877 00:43:18,600 --> 00:43:23,520 Speaker 2: people really put effort into getting that thought into. Textbooks 878 00:43:23,560 --> 00:43:26,040 Speaker 2: and so, this to me is the antidote for that 879 00:43:26,320 --> 00:43:32,280 Speaker 2: of consider every single person as yourself and think about. 880 00:43:32,280 --> 00:43:35,239 Speaker 2: How you think About Thomas, jefferson now think about how 881 00:43:35,280 --> 00:43:37,400 Speaker 2: and you, know as the book moves, on this is 882 00:43:37,440 --> 00:43:41,480 Speaker 2: mentioned briefly in The Whitney plantation chapter WHEN i think 883 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:45,399 Speaker 2: it Was yvonne was talking about, this but she talked 884 00:43:45,400 --> 00:43:48,160 Speaker 2: about the fact that like the whole world was caught 885 00:43:48,239 --> 00:43:50,120 Speaker 2: up in this. System and he's going to get a 886 00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:53,600 Speaker 2: lot more into that later in the, book but she 887 00:43:53,800 --> 00:43:58,200 Speaker 2: said to, him poor people can now afford, sweetener which 888 00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:01,040 Speaker 2: used to be reserved for the. Elite so these individuals 889 00:44:01,080 --> 00:44:03,360 Speaker 2: are going to work and now they can start purchasing 890 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,600 Speaker 2: sweetener for their afternoon tea and then they start to demand, 891 00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:09,400 Speaker 2: it and that is in direct correlation to the people 892 00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,480 Speaker 2: who were enslaved on these. Plantations so it helps people 893 00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:15,440 Speaker 2: understand that it's not cut and. Dry it's not just 894 00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:19,720 Speaker 2: like these overseers were sadistic. People the plantations were morally 895 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,560 Speaker 2: bankrupt and, corrupt yes they, Were but also In, europe 896 00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,759 Speaker 2: once the appetite for sugar and chocolate and coffee and 897 00:44:26,840 --> 00:44:29,920 Speaker 2: cheap textiles and all these things started flooding the market 898 00:44:30,200 --> 00:44:32,680 Speaker 2: and people can finally buy into this larger system of 899 00:44:32,680 --> 00:44:35,680 Speaker 2: capitalism and, consumption who is at the other end of? 900 00:44:35,680 --> 00:44:40,200 Speaker 2: It and, that to me is WHAT i don't?
