Guys, 38 00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:56,000 Speaker 3: just want to be honest with you. I as you know, 39 00:01:56,120 --> 00:02:00,320 Speaker 3: I'm pretty hard on Bernard Sanders. I'm hard on him 40 00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 3: because actually working on his campaign in twenty fifteen as 41 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 3: the National Racial Justice Director, I had an inside view 42 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,800 Speaker 3: and you know, knew what went on in the campaign, 43 00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:16,079 Speaker 3: what could have been better, and a lot of things 44 00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 3: were done right. So my opinion, I just want to 45 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,440 Speaker 3: lay it out there. It is somewhat biased based upon 46 00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:24,760 Speaker 3: my view and what I saw, I can't act like 47 00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 3: I don't know what I know. 48 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:27,400 Speaker 1: But moving past that. 49 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,840 Speaker 3: I will give credit where it is due because I 50 00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 3: want to make sure that I'm being objective and not 51 00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:37,480 Speaker 3: being completely biased. And I will say that at least 52 00:02:37,520 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 3: Bernie Sanders is saying something. At least he's saying something, 53 00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:44,640 Speaker 3: and you know, it's kind of like, you know, the 54 00:02:44,680 --> 00:02:49,240 Speaker 3: bar is so low with the leadership unfortunately, that just 55 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 3: saying something comes home is something. It's kind of like 56 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,080 Speaker 3: when they say, you know, should you be happy in 57 00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,800 Speaker 3: your marriage at home? Should you expect much? Well, no, 58 00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 3: just be glad he came home. You know, the standard 59 00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,400 Speaker 3: is just I guess, come home. You know, no, no, 60 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:10,160 Speaker 3: no happiness, no expectations, no uh, you know, anything outside 61 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:13,880 Speaker 3: of just showing up and existing. And that's kind of 62 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 3: you know how I would classify this because you don't 63 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:18,800 Speaker 3: have a lot of Democrats who are speaking up, with 64 00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:21,040 Speaker 3: the exception of Jasmine Crockett. 65 00:03:21,280 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 1: I know now she's getting trending a lot. 66 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 3: You know, a lot of folks are big fans of hers, 67 00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,320 Speaker 3: But outside of that, you don't really see anybody. 68 00:03:30,919 --> 00:03:32,400 Speaker 1: Saying anything at all. 69 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 3: I know that Bernie Sanders and AOC have they have 70 00:03:35,840 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 3: been on a tour, so they have been certainly you know, 71 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:46,160 Speaker 3: having conversation and having tours and rallies, which I support, meaning, 72 00:03:46,560 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 3: you know, make sure you're getting out with the people, 73 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,800 Speaker 3: which is one reason why I did a town hall 74 00:03:51,240 --> 00:03:52,640 Speaker 3: two weeks ago or last week. 75 00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:53,680 Speaker 1: It seems like. 76 00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:58,040 Speaker 3: Everything's going so fast in Atlanta, So I agree with that. 77 00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:00,280 Speaker 3: So at least he's doing that. At least he did 78 00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:04,360 Speaker 3: the town hall. But I'm just gonna be honest, it 79 00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:10,280 Speaker 3: just was uninspiring. It wasn't And I'm just saying this 80 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 3: from a movement standpoint, watching how he was really able 81 00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 3: to shift, you know, organizers and people getting excited and 82 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,280 Speaker 3: you know, people want to be a part of the process. 83 00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:24,200 Speaker 3: I saw that in twenty fifteen, and that's not what 84 00:04:24,279 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 3: they gave tonight. 85 00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: That's just not what they gave tonight. Uh. 86 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 3: And maybe people are tired, guys. Maybe people are tired. 87 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:36,839 Speaker 3: They've had enough. They don't feel inspired anymore. You know, 88 00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:37,560 Speaker 3: maybe they're like. 89 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,839 Speaker 1: Whatever, Bernie Sanders, you keep talking about the same thing 90 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:41,920 Speaker 1: over and over. You didn't you know. 91 00:04:41,839 --> 00:04:44,479 Speaker 3: You didn't win the first time, the second time you 92 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,440 Speaker 3: didn't win. They felt like he you know, bowed down 93 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,400 Speaker 3: to Joe Biden, it just kind of gave up and became. 94 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:53,359 Speaker 1: What they did not want him to be. 95 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 3: So I don't know if it's more that well, I 96 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:57,719 Speaker 3: think it's a little bit of all of it, guys, 97 00:04:57,760 --> 00:04:59,560 Speaker 3: to be honest with you, it's a little bit of that. 98 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:01,320 Speaker 3: It's a little bit of where we are right now. 99 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:05,720 Speaker 3: People feeling defeated, that's across the board. I got an 100 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 3: award on last week and the room was, you know, 101 00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:12,720 Speaker 3: filled with elders. And although I was very appreciative, appreciative 102 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:17,039 Speaker 3: of the award and grateful, people really really did feel like, 103 00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,200 Speaker 3: you know, that you like you were tugging to to 104 00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,159 Speaker 3: get people to be engaged and involved. So I think 105 00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:28,280 Speaker 3: people are tired and they feel defeated, and that's just 106 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:34,200 Speaker 3: kind of what that felt. No real momentum, you know, 107 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:37,560 Speaker 3: And it wasn't a rally, So I'm not gonna say 108 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 3: did I expect the same energy as a rally, but 109 00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:46,839 Speaker 3: it just certainly to me, wasn't a call for anybody 110 00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 3: to do anything except you need to get involved, you know, 111 00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:52,680 Speaker 3: and be a part of the process. 112 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:54,440 Speaker 1: Okay, so what does that really mean? 113 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:57,600 Speaker 3: You know, what what do you what does that really mean? 114 00:05:57,640 --> 00:06:01,920 Speaker 3: To people, how does all they play out? And I'm 115 00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,880 Speaker 3: not saying this as just somebody criticizing. I'm trying to 116 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 3: myself to make sure that I am giving as much 117 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 3: feedback as possible on what we need to do right 118 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,160 Speaker 3: now this moment. For those who've been following me, I've 119 00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:20,680 Speaker 3: been pushing out three tips, save, stack and secure, and 120 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 3: I've been putting out tips under each one of those 121 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 3: and what you can do in this moment realistic. I 122 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 3: know everybody on the internet's saying buy the dip and 123 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 3: get stocks and all of this, but regular, everyday, average 124 00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,960 Speaker 3: working folks, thirty I think it's thirty three percent of 125 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,120 Speaker 3: Americans don't have enough for a four hundred dollars emergency. 126 00:06:39,480 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 3: So to be talking everybody about buy the dip and 127 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 3: get the stock and well, what money? What are y'all 128 00:06:44,760 --> 00:06:48,480 Speaker 3: talking about? So I've been trying to give some realistic 129 00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:52,640 Speaker 3: terms on how to survive and what's about to happen. 130 00:06:53,279 --> 00:06:55,159 Speaker 3: I know everybody's saying it's not a big deal, don't 131 00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:57,479 Speaker 3: worry about it on panic, but I'm real big and 132 00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:00,719 Speaker 3: preparing if it doesn't. If everything goes well, fined, we 133 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,599 Speaker 3: don't have a problem. But it's something that if something 134 00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:05,440 Speaker 3: does happen and the prices go up to a point 135 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,000 Speaker 3: where you can't afford it, I hope you do implore 136 00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,520 Speaker 3: some of those tips that I've been giving you guys. 137 00:07:10,880 --> 00:07:14,280 Speaker 3: Second thing I'm doing it's like I've always done pushed 138 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 3: the line training. I've normally done that in person. Now 139 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:21,720 Speaker 3: I'm doing that online because right now we just need 140 00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:26,240 Speaker 3: it more than ever and I can't take ninety days 141 00:07:26,320 --> 00:07:29,680 Speaker 3: to go market and go to a town and you know, 142 00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 3: make sure that the room is you know, people got enough 143 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 3: people in the room and and feed folks, and you know, 144 00:07:36,360 --> 00:07:40,320 Speaker 3: make sure that all of the costs that go into 145 00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 3: putting on the training is very expensive. And now it 146 00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:48,440 Speaker 3: really is a sense of urgency of something that we 147 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:49,560 Speaker 3: need right now. 148 00:07:50,200 --> 00:07:53,280 Speaker 1: So it does start online. 149 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 3: June fourteenth would be the first class you can set up. 150 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:00,200 Speaker 3: I'm very excited about it.

So I'm trying to figure 203 00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,400 Speaker 3: out every single way to get to you, to tap 204 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,680 Speaker 3: into you, to allow you to have space and time 205 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,440 Speaker 3: and questions and do all I can do. I hope 206 00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:47,520 Speaker 3: you guys appreciate it because it is not easy and 207 00:10:47,559 --> 00:10:50,079 Speaker 3: it does take a lot of work. With that said, 208 00:10:50,240 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 3: I just wanted to do this quick update on Bernie Sanders, 209 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:58,520 Speaker 3: which is basically nothing. I did appreciate him asking the 210 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:02,800 Speaker 3: question that the lay he asked about race, and he 211 00:11:02,880 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 3: did say it was important that we keep, you know, 212 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 3: race in the history books. That's one of my challenges 213 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,520 Speaker 3: I always have with Bernie Sanders. It's an issue that 214 00:11:11,559 --> 00:11:14,199 Speaker 3: he likes to avoid. But the question was asked to 215 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,199 Speaker 3: him and I think he answered it appropriately, so I'll 216 00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:19,480 Speaker 3: give him credit for that. But other than that, guys, 217 00:11:20,240 --> 00:11:23,920 Speaker 3: he talked about the tariffs and how's isolating the world, 218 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 3: And you know, that's pretty much the conversation that's. 219 00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:26,920 Speaker 1: Happening right now. 220 00:11:27,240 --> 00:11:29,720 Speaker 3: One minute the tariffs own the next minute at their 221 00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:32,319 Speaker 3: palls the next minute is own, the next minute is pauw. 222 00:11:32,600 --> 00:11:34,640 Speaker 3: I mean, it's just absolute chaos. We don't know what 223 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 3: the hell is going on. So we'll just keep riding 224 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,040 Speaker 3: this out together, guys. And as we ride it out, guys, 225 00:11:40,040 --> 00:11:43,000 Speaker 3: please take heed to the things I'm telling you. One, 226 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,199 Speaker 3: save your money, reduce means, you know, try to look 227 00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,760 Speaker 3: at Okay, if it's this extra five dollars that I'm 228 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:55,600 Speaker 3: spending on this app or something like that or whatever, 229 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:57,719 Speaker 3: you know, can you give that to a nonprofit? Which 230 00:11:57,800 --> 00:11:59,120 Speaker 3: is the third thing on Secure? 231 00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:00,120 Speaker 1: So say. 232 00:12:01,440 --> 00:12:04,600 Speaker 3: Stack, I changed Shack to Stack because y'all was getting 233 00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,920 Speaker 3: so caught up on the word shack. But Stack is 234 00:12:08,679 --> 00:12:12,680 Speaker 3: still getting a roommate. If need be combining you know, 235 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:16,840 Speaker 3: households of family, friends, boyfriend, girlfriend, whatever, if you don't 236 00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:20,040 Speaker 3: believe in they get married, whatever, just combining wherever. 237 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 1: You can also merging your business. 238 00:12:23,600 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 3: Looking at that, how can you if you if you 239 00:12:27,120 --> 00:12:29,840 Speaker 3: have a business, is more than likely probably a small business, 240 00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:31,800 Speaker 3: and you need to figure out how can you merge 241 00:12:31,800 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 3: that with somebody else? For example, me and my publicist. 242 00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,199 Speaker 3: She runs a publicist. I don't get a lot of 243 00:12:38,280 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 3: I don't get a lot of pr customers like I 244 00:12:40,120 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 3: used to. But maybe you know I can provide media 245 00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:48,559 Speaker 3: relations while she provides a press release. You know, maybe 246 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:52,800 Speaker 3: I can do a strategic uh uh, you know plan, 247 00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,880 Speaker 3: write a strategic plan while she provides something else and 248 00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 3: opted whatever it is. But trying to combine your resources 249 00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,959 Speaker 3: to pitch in to pay for advertising marketing. Those are 250 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:05,240 Speaker 3: good ways so that you're not spending all of the 251 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:08,280 Speaker 3: marketing money on yourself. And I hope you guys are 252 00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:12,600 Speaker 3: finding this helpful. Third thing is secure. Yes, I do 253 00:13:12,720 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 3: talk about securing the gun license. I believe in that 254 00:13:16,040 --> 00:13:18,280 Speaker 3: if you're in a state that you can carry. I 255 00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:21,040 Speaker 3: absolutely believe in two A. I'm sorry guys, because when 256 00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 3: crime goes up, problems go up. So I believe in 257 00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 3: and being secure with that. I also add on to secure, 258 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:34,200 Speaker 3: meaning you need to secure your nonprofits, your organizations. You 259 00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 3: care about your activists, your organizers, anybody's doing some community 260 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:42,079 Speaker 3: that include podcasts as well, you know, tapping in, make 261 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,120 Speaker 3: sure you follow, make sure you subscribe, let it play 262 00:13:45,120 --> 00:13:48,080 Speaker 3: in the background.

And you know how my 347 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:45,399 Speaker 3: commentary can go. We start on one issue and then 348 00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:48,359 Speaker 3: it turns into something else. But we were talking about, 349 00:17:49,359 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 3: you know, men not wanting to date, same old conversation. 350 00:17:51,800 --> 00:17:54,280 Speaker 3: I wanted to date older women and wanted to have 351 00:17:54,359 --> 00:18:00,120 Speaker 3: younger women so they could you know, teach them something 352 00:18:00,119 --> 00:18:02,080 Speaker 3: because we were going by what trick Daddy is said 353 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,119 Speaker 3: on the Ball of Alert show, and you know, and 354 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:09,679 Speaker 3: I just started talking about how wanting women to stop 355 00:18:09,720 --> 00:18:12,399 Speaker 3: being offended, you know by the negative things that we 356 00:18:12,480 --> 00:18:15,760 Speaker 3: hear on social media all day, every day, getting old, 357 00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 3: they're gonna hit. 358 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:20,439 Speaker 1: The wall, they're gonna die long. You know, don't this. 359 00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,360 Speaker 3: That so many negative things you know that we hear 360 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:27,520 Speaker 3: about black women. And again this is only on social media, 361 00:18:27,520 --> 00:18:30,400 Speaker 3: it's not in real life. It's not the people hopefully 362 00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:34,200 Speaker 3: you have in your life. They're constantly pushing these negative stereotypes. 363 00:18:34,440 --> 00:18:36,119 Speaker 3: But it is a real thing because we spend a 364 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,920 Speaker 3: lot of time on social media. We're scrolling a lot. 365 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:40,879 Speaker 1: So it is. 366 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:45,879 Speaker 3: I would be lying if I say that those things 367 00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,560 Speaker 3: don't get into the psyche as we're you know, reading 368 00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:52,479 Speaker 3: it constantly over and over and over, because as you know, 369 00:18:52,880 --> 00:18:57,520 Speaker 3: the more the algorithms, uh, you know, the more you 370 00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,480 Speaker 3: click on that stuff, the more stuff, you know, comes 371 00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,720 Speaker 3: to your feet. And so I just you know, talked about, hey, 372 00:19:02,800 --> 00:19:05,680 Speaker 3: you know what, women got options too, especially if y'all 373 00:19:05,720 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 3: going down to women with the money and down the 374 00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:10,679 Speaker 3: women with the bag, we got some options too, And 375 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 3: you know, we start talking about the sugar mama thing. 376 00:19:13,600 --> 00:19:18,359 Speaker 3: And then I saw it as an opportunity to change 377 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,360 Speaker 3: the narrative on what a sugar mama is, to give 378 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 3: people some positive insight on the fact that black women 379 00:19:25,119 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 3: have been because he said that the sugar mama is 380 00:19:27,359 --> 00:19:30,920 Speaker 3: a cougar and older woman spinning month Like, no, not necessarily, 381 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:32,720 Speaker 3: you can be a sugar mam and be young. 382 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:34,720 Speaker 1: I know that's the traditional. 383 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:39,040 Speaker 3: Definition, but I wanted to take a moment to switch 384 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,639 Speaker 3: it and to give people a different outlook and so 385 00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,560 Speaker 3: I talked about how black women are the sugar mamas 386 00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 3: of our community, like we are the ones that hold 387 00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:49,960 Speaker 3: it down. We're the ones that got it when you don't. 388 00:19:50,280 --> 00:19:53,560 Speaker 3: We're the ones you know, that have stepped in the gap. 389 00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:55,560 Speaker 3: And this was not a gender divide, and I'm so 390 00:19:55,640 --> 00:19:57,600 Speaker 3: glad people picked it up the right way because a 391 00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 3: lot of times guys, when we clip stuff out, they 392 00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:01,680 Speaker 3: don't get it. It goes over their head. I think it 393 00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,160 Speaker 3: was a couple of people in the comments like black 394 00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:06,880 Speaker 3: men still make more and this, and I'm like, that's 395 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 3: not what this is about. This is paying homage to 396 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:12,440 Speaker 3: the black women who have been the sugar mamas of 397 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:15,920 Speaker 3: our community. Meaning stepped in, is that Auntie stepped in, 398 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,840 Speaker 3: is that mother stepped in? Is their wife stepped in 399 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:22,560 Speaker 3: as their friend, stepped in as their girlfriend, and done 400 00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:26,680 Speaker 3: all the things to share our resources because there is 401 00:20:26,760 --> 00:20:29,679 Speaker 3: because bottom line, sugar mama shares her resource, her money 402 00:20:29,760 --> 00:20:32,640 Speaker 3: or whatever it is, she got it, if she has it, 403 00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:36,159 Speaker 3: she'll give it to you. And that's really, ultimately what 404 00:20:36,200 --> 00:20:38,600 Speaker 3: a sugar mama is. And I don't think you getting 405 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,679 Speaker 3: no sweeter than being with a black woman. And the 406 00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:44,600 Speaker 3: stats and the data shows that when you don't have 407 00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,719 Speaker 3: at all, we step in and there's a lot that 408 00:20:47,800 --> 00:20:50,040 Speaker 3: you have. This is not saying that men don't have, 409 00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,920 Speaker 3: as y'all love saying, well, men make more than women. 410 00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 3: You're supposed to. It's called the patriarchy. You're absolutely supposed to. 411 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:03,359 Speaker 3: I don't know why y'all love comparing y'all self to women. Men, brothers. 412 00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,440 Speaker 3: Compare yourself to men. Compare yourself to what the Chinese 413 00:21:07,440 --> 00:21:10,520 Speaker 3: man make, the spanning man mat, the White man make. 414 00:21:10,960 --> 00:21:13,399 Speaker 3: That's where you're that's supposed to be the benchmark for you, 415 00:21:13,960 --> 00:21:18,439 Speaker 3: not women, not women. Black women are comparing themselves to 416 00:21:18,560 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 3: other black women, and the stats show that black women 417 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:26,000 Speaker 3: that have college degrees make more money than black women 418 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 3: that don't. There's always this conversation. People jump in, Are 419 00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:33,879 Speaker 3: you saying trade don't make money? We make more money trade? 420 00:21:33,880 --> 00:21:35,680 Speaker 3: What are you saying? Do you look beneath us and 421 00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,680 Speaker 3: do you da da da dah. I'm like, no, that's 422 00:21:38,680 --> 00:21:41,679 Speaker 3: not what I'm saying. I know plenty of skills that 423 00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,679 Speaker 3: make more. We got that, but also you need to 424 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:47,880 Speaker 3: also look at those labor skills. At some point, your 425 00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,240 Speaker 3: back may give us, some point, your needs may give 426 00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 3: up at some point you may. So it's called balance. 427 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:55,639 Speaker 3: Having a woman that work at the computer is not 428 00:21:55,720 --> 00:21:59,359 Speaker 3: a bad thing. So let's stop looking for ways to 429 00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 3: try to stop projecting on each other and trying to 430 00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:04,240 Speaker 3: hurt each other and hurt each other's feelings. And I'm 431 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 3: better than you and this and that. Just so y'all know, 432 00:22:06,680 --> 00:22:11,120 Speaker 3: I married a mechanic, and my grandfather was a mechanic, 433 00:22:11,320 --> 00:22:14,439 Speaker 3: and my other grandfather worked at the post office. 434 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,919 Speaker 1: My stepfather was a doctor. 435 00:22:15,960 --> 00:22:21,760 Speaker 3: Though, so I've had a good view firsthand of different 436 00:22:21,800 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 3: types of men, different class of men. So nobody's shitting 437 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:29,960 Speaker 3: on anybody. What I'm basically saying is we need each other. 438 00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:32,520 Speaker 3: We need each other now more than we ever have 439 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:35,320 Speaker 3: because the tariffs are coming. So we're not in a 440 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 3: position to talk about who's this and whose they. But 441 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,080 Speaker 3: what I'm telling you is stop shitting on black women too, 442 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:43,720 Speaker 3: Stop putting us down. Because we decided to get degrees. 443 00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,679 Speaker 3: We try to advance if the most we could in 444 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:51,080 Speaker 3: our you know, and with our counterparts and our counterparts. 445 00:22:51,080 --> 00:22:53,320 Speaker 3: It showed that on that job, I can't get a 446 00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:55,199 Speaker 3: promotion unless I have a degree, even if it's a 447 00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:58,119 Speaker 3: degree in basket weaven. Every time we try to excel, 448 00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:02,040 Speaker 3: white supremacy puts something in else in front of us 449 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:03,919 Speaker 3: in order to keep us out. 450 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:06,280 Speaker 1: That's just how it works. 451 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,439 Speaker 3: So many of us are just trying to get it 452 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,440 Speaker 3: how we live it, and if you want to get 453 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 3: it another way, cool, but don't talk about our way 454 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 3: to get it because these black women, even the ones 455 00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,520 Speaker 3: you may not like that you got a toxic relationship, 456 00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:22,000 Speaker 3: maybe your mother, your oarch or whatever, but for the 457 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:27,119 Speaker 3: most part, we've done our part to sustain and to 458 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:31,360 Speaker 3: still be standing.
