Yeah, No, 0:00:44.280 --> 0:00:45.680 we got a lot more to talk about. There's a 0:00:45.680 --> 0:00:47.479 lot of news that we don't get to cover on 0:00:47.520 --> 0:00:51.000 this show. Unfortunately, there's so much that fits underneath this 0:00:51.120 --> 0:00:53.479 umbrella that we just can't get to were an hour 0:00:53.520 --> 0:00:55.840 a week show. But there's a few stories that we're 0:00:55.880 --> 0:00:59.120 going to talk about, uh where that double standard is 0:00:59.160 --> 0:01:01.480 on full display for everyone to see.

But before we get there, 0:01:13.360 --> 0:01:16.880 it is time to be a b A baba become 0:01:16.959 --> 0:01:21.560 a better ally Today's Baba sponsored by Major Threads or 0:01:21.640 --> 0:01:26.959 the finest in quality sports where check Major Threads dot com. 0:01:27.360 --> 0:01:31.679 And for Today's Baba, we have something that's a little different. 0:01:32.120 --> 0:01:35.800 It's more of a personal favor.

It was brilliant. Sure, it 0:02:11.320 --> 0:02:16.720 was brilliant. And he thought we should start live streaming 0:02:16.760 --> 0:02:18.280 the recordings of the show. 0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:21.400 Right, So for folks that I think we should start 0:02:21.440 --> 0:02:23.480 live streaming in general. 0:02:23.360 --> 0:02:26.520 Okay that too, Yeah you did say that, but because we. 0:02:26.480 --> 0:02:28.519 Want to be engaged with you guys, like live streaming 0:02:28.560 --> 0:02:31.040 the recording is cool.

The most obvious, 0:03:27.560 --> 0:03:34.840 flagrant recent example comes from the world of sports. There 0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:41.840 are two people named Angel Reese, and she faced off 0:03:41.920 --> 0:03:45.320 against a person named Caitlin Clark. What I know is 0:03:45.320 --> 0:03:49.200 that Angel Reese is a black woman and that Caitlin 0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:53.920 Clark what is a white woman. But you could tell 0:03:53.920 --> 0:03:55.240 the story a lot better than I could, So why 0:03:55.240 --> 0:03:56.200 don't you set us up? 0:03:57.320 --> 0:04:02.280 Angel Reese, buy you, Barbie. Oh see, I didn't even 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:07.040 know that tournament MVP for the NCUBLEA women's tournament in 0:04:07.040 --> 0:04:10.440 March Madness, most double doubles in the history of the 0:04:10.560 --> 0:04:15.720 NCUBLEA tournament, First Team All American now national champion. 0:04:15.800 --> 0:04:16.240 Go ahead. 0:04:17.480 --> 0:04:25.760 However, Miss Caitlyn Clark, guard IOWA Big Ten Player of 0:04:25.800 --> 0:04:28.680 the Year might be National Player of the Year when 0:04:28.720 --> 0:04:29.679 it's all said and done. 0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:32.200 Incredible basketball player. 0:04:34.080 --> 0:04:36.200 Most points I think in the history of the tournament, 0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:38.520 or at least in the history of a single season 0:04:38.520 --> 0:04:47.760 for the nc double A different style of coverage, but 0:04:47.960 --> 0:04:52.440 not different style of play. Miss Caitlyn Clark is not black. 0:04:53.760 --> 0:04:59.640 Miss angel Rees is. And that's where the double standards 0:04:59.640 --> 0:05:03.960 starts because Miss Caitlin Clark does not just get busy 0:05:04.640 --> 0:05:09.360 on the basketball court. She makes sure that you understand 0:05:09.600 --> 0:05:15.080 that she's getting busy on the basketball court. And the 0:05:15.160 --> 0:05:17.680 reason why this is a topic most of you listening 0:05:17.680 --> 0:05:21.800 to this show, this became a national story because we're stupid. 0:05:22.960 --> 0:05:24.840 This didn't come a national story because of these two 0:05:24.880 --> 0:05:28.680 young ladies. Nothing that they did should have been newsworthy 0:05:29.160 --> 0:05:33.479 except be phenomenal basketball players both of them, and I 0:05:33.560 --> 0:05:38.560 mean phenomenal, not oh she's pretty good, or even more ignorantly. 0:05:38.200 --> 0:05:41.320 Oh she's pretty good for a girl. No, no, no, 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:41.719 no no. 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:45.640 These two young ladies will probably give Ramsen and I 0:05:45.760 --> 0:05:49.960 the business game after game after game, and we would 0:05:50.000 --> 0:05:52.520 just be tired and whooped like that's all that would 0:05:52.640 --> 0:05:56.120 that's all we would have to say. So if you've 0:05:56.120 --> 0:05:59.680 watched either of them play, they might be two of 0:05:59.720 --> 0:06:05.000 the best to ever play. Except every conversation from the 0:06:05.040 --> 0:06:08.520 time that game ended until today about the two of 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:13.800 them have been about the color of their skin and 0:06:13.839 --> 0:06:17.120 the way that what they do is received by public eye. 0:06:19.000 --> 0:06:23.159 If Qwan and Ramsays were playing basketball, or Shaq and Kobe, 0:06:23.560 --> 0:06:27.680 or Michael and Lebron, or any magic and bird, any 0:06:27.760 --> 0:06:30.120 of your great rivals that you think in your head, 0:06:30.200 --> 0:06:31.760 or great players that you think in your head, were 0:06:31.760 --> 0:06:34.599 playing against each other and they were talking trash, black 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:37.279 or white, as long as they were men, they'd be 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:45.159 celebrated for it. Caitlin got celebrated for it. ESPN did 0:06:45.240 --> 0:06:51.039 an entire segment with different players talking about how she's 0:06:51.080 --> 0:06:56.000 the back queen because of how effectively effectively she trash 0:06:56.040 --> 0:07:00.840 talks when she plays. She's demonstrative again, It's not just 0:07:00.880 --> 0:07:03.520 that the ball keeps going in. It's that she keeps 0:07:03.600 --> 0:07:10.760 reminding you that, ironically, you can't see me. For our audience, 0:07:11.200 --> 0:07:14.320 most of you, just by hearing what I said, know 0:07:14.400 --> 0:07:17.880 what that means. But during the tournament, during the season, 0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:20.560 everything from pulling her jersey up to yelling at the crowd, 0:07:20.680 --> 0:07:24.320 to dismissing opponents, waving them off to shoot wide open 0:07:24.320 --> 0:07:27.520 because she didn't respect them enough to even guard them. 0:07:27.760 --> 0:07:29.760 You're that trash. I'm gonna just let you shoot self 0:07:29.840 --> 0:07:30.840 check you on our team. 0:07:31.080 --> 0:07:31.640 Go for it. 0:07:32.080 --> 0:07:34.440 I'm gonna wave you often walk away while you shoot 0:07:34.440 --> 0:07:40.040 and miss this shot, right, It's mental manipulation on the 0:07:40.120 --> 0:07:43.040 level that I don't know that I see you regularly. 0:07:43.720 --> 0:07:44.320 You know what I mean? 0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:49.040 Like, this is Division one, this is the championship rounds, 0:07:49.040 --> 0:07:51.440 this is the essentially the playoffs, this is the tournament. 0:07:51.960 --> 0:07:54.480 She's walking away from the number one, this is the 0:07:54.560 --> 0:07:57.239 number one team in the country, undefeated. She's like, whatever, 0:07:57.760 --> 0:07:59.480 I'm not even gonna guard you. 0:07:59.520 --> 0:08:00.000 Go for it. 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:03.760 In another game, she told a young lady that said 0:08:03.840 --> 0:08:06.200 something to her, shut up, y'all losing about fifteen. 0:08:08.240 --> 0:08:10.600 And did the you can't see me to her right, 0:08:10.640 --> 0:08:12.360 because you can't see me as waving your hand in 0:08:12.400 --> 0:08:15.920 front of your face. Yeah, John Cena made this thing popular. 0:08:17.360 --> 0:08:21.720 Tony Yale introduced it to him. Flavor Flave introduced it 0:08:21.720 --> 0:08:24.160 to him. I have to say that because everybody just 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.280 says it's to John Cena, because he's the most famous 0:08:27.320 --> 0:08:30.560 of them. From being a WWE superstar and doing it 0:08:30.560 --> 0:08:32.680 in front of hundreds of millions of people on TV, 0:08:32.800 --> 0:08:35.320 it became known as something that he did. But even 0:08:35.320 --> 0:08:37.439 in the interviews, he says he got it from Tony Yale, 0:08:37.480 --> 0:08:42.160 who got it from Flavor Flav, So. 0:08:43.960 --> 0:08:51.040 That specific thing once they won. This is the thing 0:08:51.080 --> 0:08:54.839 about trash talk. This is why I don't understand why 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.760 people do I guess I guess I do. People kind 0:08:56.760 --> 0:08:58.880 of get off on it. I don't understand why fighters 0:08:58.880 --> 0:09:01.640 do it. It's fighting. It's a whole different thing that's 0:09:01.679 --> 0:09:03.520 not even that's different from sport. 0:09:03.840 --> 0:09:05.120 You know, you don't play fight. 0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:07.160 You know somebody might knock you out and then you 0:09:07.200 --> 0:09:09.600 look really ridiculous if you was just trash talking the 0:09:09.640 --> 0:09:10.280 whole lead up. 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:11.640 But I've seen that happen to Yeah. 0:09:12.080 --> 0:09:16.000 So when Caitlyn Clark is winning and she's doing that 0:09:16.040 --> 0:09:18.040 she celebrated. Like I said, they call her a clapback queen. 0:09:18.080 --> 0:09:20.160 They talk about how fire as she is, how competitive. 0:09:20.720 --> 0:09:26.560 People celebrate that in her. So when they lost the 0:09:26.760 --> 0:09:28.120 other best player on the. 0:09:28.120 --> 0:09:32.520 Court, Angel Reese, by you, Barbie. 0:09:32.720 --> 0:09:37.400 Gave her all she can handle of her own doing 0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:41.199 this is the handwaving you can't see. You can't see 0:09:41.240 --> 0:09:45.680 me right back at her, but a lot like we 0:09:45.840 --> 0:09:46.920 just popped y'all. 0:09:48.360 --> 0:09:48.800 Last week. 0:09:48.800 --> 0:09:50.440 You wish you can't see me where you at now, 0:09:50.880 --> 0:09:53.760 because that's how it goes. When you talk crazy, you 0:09:53.800 --> 0:09:58.000 better win. If you don't, you deserve to be clapped 0:09:58.040 --> 0:10:03.080 back at, quote unquote since she's the back queen crazy so. 0:10:05.559 --> 0:10:07.000 Queen Andel Reaes. 0:10:08.360 --> 0:10:14.920 Of the national champion LSU Tigers has been called by 0:10:15.000 --> 0:10:26.560 professionals in sports media classless, an idiot, a moron, and 0:10:26.600 --> 0:10:28.480 a few of those with an effing on the front 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:33.319 of it. She's been insulted and dragged as unsportsmanlike and disrespectful. 0:10:34.160 --> 0:10:39.120 All she did was the same thing that ESPN did 0:10:39.120 --> 0:10:41.560 a whole segment on Caitlyn Clark for doing. 0:10:42.679 --> 0:10:46.840 John Sad shouted out Caitlyn Clark too oh on Twitter. 0:10:47.400 --> 0:10:52.079 If you saw the coverage of the tournament. Everyone did right. 0:10:52.400 --> 0:10:56.320 The team that they beat before they played LSU had 0:10:56.320 --> 0:11:01.400 won like fifty games in a row, like defeated national 0:11:01.440 --> 0:11:06.080 championship team, and all the coverage was about the super 0:11:06.080 --> 0:11:10.360 bad white girl for IOWA, not the whole team of 0:11:10.520 --> 0:11:14.720 sisters that was undefeated, like it was flagrant, and we've 0:11:14.760 --> 0:11:18.520 gotten to this space we're pointing out double standards like 0:11:18.559 --> 0:11:22.640 this and pointing out just flagrant overt racism is somehow 0:11:22.679 --> 0:11:26.760 intellectually beneath us. So even we like take the devil's 0:11:26.760 --> 0:11:29.959 advocate position of trying to find justification for it when 0:11:29.960 --> 0:11:34.040 it's no, we don't even have to find anything. We 0:11:34.080 --> 0:11:38.760 have video of Caitlin doing the exact same thing, and 0:11:38.800 --> 0:11:42.720 then the number one sports outlet on Earth did a 0:11:42.760 --> 0:11:45.640 full segment on how great it is that she does that, 0:11:46.559 --> 0:11:48.920 and the second a black girl did it to her, 0:11:49.280 --> 0:11:56.840 she became again classless, unsportsman, like an idiot and moron, 0:11:57.280 --> 0:11:59.359 and like I said, an effing. 0:12:01.720 --> 0:12:03.880 So we don't have. 0:12:03.880 --> 0:12:07.120 To try to dig and figure out why it's covered differently. 0:12:07.160 --> 0:12:09.080 We don't have to dig and figure out why people 0:12:09.120 --> 0:12:13.280 are responding to it differently, because you know who wasn't offended? 0:12:14.200 --> 0:12:15.880 You know who didn't call her out of her name, 0:12:17.440 --> 0:12:25.120 Caitlyn Clark. Yeah, because Caitlyn Clark get busy. Yeah, and 0:12:25.160 --> 0:12:28.040 in her mind, I'll see you again. Yeah, and we're 0:12:28.040 --> 0:12:30.760 gonna get right back at it. She knows that she 0:12:30.920 --> 0:12:33.880 gives that and deserves to get it back. Alla, Steph Curry, 0:12:35.120 --> 0:12:37.400 I can't get mad when they showy, y'all, shimmy. 0:12:38.440 --> 0:12:39.000 You know what I mean. 0:12:39.080 --> 0:12:41.920 So it's this position of her being somehow this victim 0:12:43.480 --> 0:12:45.360 when all that was done to her is what she 0:12:45.440 --> 0:12:46.520 does to everybody else. 0:12:46.800 --> 0:12:49.199 I want to add something here. I read an article 0:12:50.120 --> 0:12:55.840 from ugh New York Post, but there was an interview 0:12:56.080 --> 0:13:03.720 with Caitlyn Clark. She's the white woman in this story. Again, 0:13:03.840 --> 0:13:06.440 forgive me. I'm not a sportsperson and I'm awful with names, 0:13:06.440 --> 0:13:08.400 so I repeat them just in case you're like me. 0:13:09.280 --> 0:13:12.960 But Caitlin Clark did an interview and to your point, 0:13:13.679 --> 0:13:17.720 she said, I haven't been on social media since we lost, 0:13:18.120 --> 0:13:22.160 and I'm not mad at She gave like an amazing interview, 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.160 Like I was like, pretty close to man. She should 0:13:25.200 --> 0:13:27.640 be the BABA for this week because she spoke up 0:13:28.200 --> 0:13:33.320 for Angel Reese, saying everything that you would expect She's like, 0:13:33.360 --> 0:13:35.839 she's an amazing competitor. That's part of the game, you know. 0:13:35.880 --> 0:13:37.920 Blah blah blah. There was a couple of things I 0:13:38.000 --> 0:13:41.360 wish she would have said, but that does likewise, But 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:47.840 that doesn't mean that she intentionally left them out. It 0:13:47.920 --> 0:13:50.160 probably didn't occur to her say things a certain way, 0:13:50.240 --> 0:13:52.199 or like, hey, this coverage is unfair. Maybe she doesn't 0:13:52.200 --> 0:13:55.760 have the same context or the same view. Maybe she's 0:13:55.960 --> 0:14:01.800 been absent. But I did appreciate her response the way 0:14:01.840 --> 0:14:05.920 she bigged up Angel Reese and she So Another part 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.640 of this story that you are a listener may or 0:14:08.679 --> 0:14:12.240 may not have heard about, is that Jill Biden, the 0:14:12.280 --> 0:14:16.760 first Lady. Say her name again, because it's Jill and 0:14:16.920 --> 0:14:20.480 Joe sound the same. Jill, doctor, I should say, doctor 0:14:20.600 --> 0:14:25.320 Jill Biden, the first Lady of the United States, invited 0:14:27.040 --> 0:14:32.160 the losing team along with the winning team to the 0:14:32.200 --> 0:14:36.400 White House, right, And I guess that that's never been 0:14:36.480 --> 0:14:40.760 done before, and what not two hundred years? Sure? 0:14:40.920 --> 0:14:43.200 Sure, And so what people were opposed to just started 0:14:43.200 --> 0:14:44.120 back into eighteen hundreds. 0:14:44.120 --> 0:14:47.080 I'll just say that. So what people were saying is 0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.680 and you could correct me or jump in because I'm 0:14:51.720 --> 0:14:53.840 absolutely certain whatever you're about to say is going to 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:58.640 be accurate. Okay, So what they were saying is, well, 0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:02.680 you know what if we had lost. If LS Louisiana 0:15:02.800 --> 0:15:07.360 State University had lost, Doctor Joe Biden would not have 0:15:07.480 --> 0:15:11.800 invited all the black girls to the White House having lost. 0:15:12.160 --> 0:15:14.440 So this is what it means to be white on 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.000 full display because she's like, oh, well, both teams were 0:15:17.040 --> 0:15:19.880 really competitive and they did a really great job. Let's 0:15:19.880 --> 0:15:22.400 have them all come to the White House. And so 0:15:24.040 --> 0:15:27.800 I believe it was Angel Reese and her team. I 0:15:27.840 --> 0:15:31.080 think that there's some sort of like unity in this decision. 0:15:31.120 --> 0:15:33.880 I'm not sure. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they said, 0:15:33.920 --> 0:15:36.560 you know what, it's okay, you can take the losing 0:15:36.600 --> 0:15:40.600 team to the White House. That's totally fine. We would 0:15:40.640 --> 0:15:43.520 go and hang out with Baraka and Michelle, you know 0:15:43.520 --> 0:15:46.280 what I mean, Like that would be fine for us, 0:15:46.400 --> 0:15:49.520 you know. So the reason I brought that up is 0:15:49.560 --> 0:15:55.560 because Caitlin Clark was asked about that would she visit 0:15:55.600 --> 0:15:59.920 the White House if that invitation from Doctor Joe Biden 0:16:02.760 --> 0:16:09.000 was authentic, was was genuine, And Caitlin Clark said, no, 0:16:09.200 --> 0:16:12.760 I would not go. That's not how it works. Angel 0:16:12.800 --> 0:16:17.360 Reese and the ladies from LSU deserve to have their moment. 0:16:18.480 --> 0:16:20.040 So this is part of why I was like, man, 0:16:20.080 --> 0:16:23.080 does that is that that feels like a baba for us? 0:16:23.160 --> 0:16:24.760 You know what I mean? Like you? I mean you, 0:16:25.440 --> 0:16:27.640 I don't know that that's baba worthy. I know. 0:16:27.680 --> 0:16:31.240 That's why I'm not of saying that what usually happens 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:32.040 should happen. 0:16:32.160 --> 0:16:34.440 But you know some some people don't do that. No, No, 0:16:34.480 --> 0:16:36.520 you're right, So that's why I was kind of thinking 0:16:36.520 --> 0:16:42.000 about it. But anyway, there's an a double standard for 0:16:42.040 --> 0:16:45.360 you there. Let's move on, all right. So this one 0:16:45.400 --> 0:16:49.400 comes from CNN. I'll just read it. She was going 0:16:49.480 --> 0:16:51.600 to get mad and some steam already coming out of 0:16:51.600 --> 0:16:54.040 his I might walk out of the studio. He sent 0:16:54.080 --> 0:16:55.920 this one over for this week. I might walk out 0:16:55.920 --> 0:16:58.240 of the studio. I'll read it. The executive director of 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:01.120 a police union in California has been placed on leave 0:17:01.600 --> 0:17:05.760 and is facing federal charges after allegedly importing drugs from 0:17:05.760 --> 0:17:08.919 overseas and distributing them throughout the country. I'll read the 0:17:08.920 --> 0:17:12.679 first part of that again. The executive director of a 0:17:12.720 --> 0:17:16.760 police union in California has been placed on leave. I 0:17:16.760 --> 0:17:19.560 didn't say under arrest on leave, Okay, all right, I'll 0:17:19.560 --> 0:17:28.360 continue likely paid. Joanne Marion Segovia sixty four, ordered thousands 0:17:28.400 --> 0:17:34.840 of synthetic opioids, including valeral fentanol, that were disguised as chocolates, 0:17:34.920 --> 0:17:37.960 wedding favors, and makeup, According to the criminal complaint filed 0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:42.480 Monday by the Office of the United States Attorney, Segovia, 0:17:42.600 --> 0:17:45.280 who serves as the executive director of the San Jose 0:17:45.400 --> 0:17:50.600 Police Officers Association, allegedly used her personal and office computers 0:17:50.640 --> 0:17:54.480 to order the opioids and made shipments using the union's 0:17:54.680 --> 0:18:00.640 ups account. The complaint said, so, what we have here 0:18:01.080 --> 0:18:08.879 is the police bringing in drugs and distributing them throughout 0:18:08.880 --> 0:18:09.359 the country. 0:18:09.359 --> 0:18:13.679 Don't say that like that, Ramses drug trafficking, said how 0:18:13.720 --> 0:18:15.399 they would say it if it was you. They wouldn't 0:18:15.400 --> 0:18:18.040 say rams is bringing in drugs. They would make you 0:18:18.080 --> 0:18:19.760 sound as criminal as possible. 0:18:19.960 --> 0:18:23.480 Help me out, go ahead, I'm loving it. Drug trafficking 0:18:24.600 --> 0:18:29.760 across borders. They would probably create a thug too, probably 0:18:30.640 --> 0:18:33.840 with that afro grown out of your head. Yes, king, thug. 0:18:33.960 --> 0:18:36.760 Do you think they would call Joe and Mary Marian 0:18:36.880 --> 0:18:41.399 Segoiva sixty four a thug under no circumstance. Isn't that funny? 0:18:42.000 --> 0:18:43.879 And you know, use words like a leged here, but 0:18:45.000 --> 0:18:46.240 the evidence is overwhelming. 0:18:46.400 --> 0:18:47.800 Yeah, it's on the computer. 0:18:48.000 --> 0:18:49.560 Yeah, she's not going to be called a thug at 0:18:49.600 --> 0:18:52.720 any point. Well, somehow she'll end up the victim here, 0:18:52.840 --> 0:18:53.560 I'm certain. 0:18:53.960 --> 0:18:57.640 So well, I mean, leave tells me everything I need 0:18:57.680 --> 0:19:01.000 to know, because, as you know, we're talking about double standards. 0:19:01.000 --> 0:19:04.679 So let's just lean into this one. Let's say I 0:19:04.800 --> 0:19:07.880 was a police officer, right, do you know how many 0:19:07.880 --> 0:19:10.160 police officers they would sit in my house, They would 0:19:10.160 --> 0:19:11.560 beat me up a little bit and arrest me in 0:19:11.560 --> 0:19:12.360 front of my children. 0:19:12.760 --> 0:19:15.800 Well, they would make sure there were cameras sure, so 0:19:15.960 --> 0:19:18.119 that it looks like they were doing the job, that 0:19:18.160 --> 0:19:21.280 they were bringing down justice in one of their fellow officers. Yeah, 0:19:21.480 --> 0:19:23.720 they got one of the bad ones, one of the 0:19:23.840 --> 0:19:25.760 bad ones, the bad apples. 0:19:26.640 --> 0:19:32.040 So again, this illuminates very different and these these examples, 0:19:32.280 --> 0:19:35.360 we're not stretching at all for these examples. They're very 0:19:35.480 --> 0:19:39.600 very obvious. These aren't obscure little stories or whatever this is. 0:19:39.760 --> 0:19:42.720 You can see this in your own mind's eye, how 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:46.560 this would play out differently if this was not a 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.000 sixty four year old white woman with I think she 0:19:49.080 --> 0:19:54.800 has blonde hair, right, Americans love blonde hair. I love 0:19:54.920 --> 0:19:57.879 afros man. That's why I got them. I mean I 0:19:57.880 --> 0:20:00.840 got mine in my son's you know, so we got them. 0:20:00.880 --> 0:20:04.240 I should say nothing wrong with people have wond here 0:20:04.280 --> 0:20:06.159 though we loved all too. You know, that's how we 0:20:06.200 --> 0:20:11.440 do it over here. All right, let's move on this one. 0:20:11.520 --> 0:20:15.280 We're gonna kind of stand in solidarity with again with 0:20:16.560 --> 0:20:26.320 our trans friends, because I think that this also shows 0:20:26.320 --> 0:20:30.399 an example of double standard in this country. So Q 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:34.080 sent this one over, I believe. So I'll read Tennessee State, 0:20:34.160 --> 0:20:37.040 by the way, Tennessee is tripping. I know, we know 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:39.640 Tennessee is tripping right now. We just don't have enough 0:20:39.680 --> 0:20:43.800 show to get to everything that Tennessee is tripp We 0:20:43.880 --> 0:20:46.800 know that. Please forgive us for not as is Florida. 0:20:48.320 --> 0:20:55.800 So anyway, Tennessee State Representative Gloria Johnson had a discussion 0:20:56.040 --> 0:20:59.560 on the drag band bill. I'm using air quotes because 0:20:59.560 --> 0:21:01.679 I think that's name of it, drag ban bill. Okay, 0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:07.440 the bill seeks to ban drag readings to children. Right, 0:21:08.200 --> 0:21:12.400 so you might ask yourself, why do drag people need 0:21:12.440 --> 0:21:16.080 to read to children. If I'm honest, I don't know, 0:21:16.160 --> 0:21:18.679 but I suspect it probably has something to do with 0:21:18.760 --> 0:21:24.399 inclusivity and teaching children, exposing children to different types of 0:21:24.400 --> 0:21:26.840 people so that they don't grow up afraid or prejudiced 0:21:26.960 --> 0:21:33.520 or whatever. Right, and people who are trans people, you 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:39.359 know whatever, Whatever the intention is there, I'm sure that 0:21:39.440 --> 0:21:43.240 there's some deeper purpose and it's not nearly as sinister 0:21:43.320 --> 0:21:45.159 as folks make it out to be. But that's not 0:21:45.240 --> 0:21:46.840 the point I'm trying to make right now. I just 0:21:46.880 --> 0:21:48.960 need to get past that because some people's minds go 0:21:49.040 --> 0:21:51.879 to like a really dark place. They think that drag 0:21:52.000 --> 0:21:55.199 means sexual, you know, or something like that. Like if 0:21:55.200 --> 0:21:56.600 I were to say I sleep in the bed with 0:21:56.720 --> 0:21:59.960 my son, people get weird because they're like, you're not 0:22:00.000 --> 0:22:01.520 supposed to sleep in your bed. No, we're going to 0:22:01.520 --> 0:22:03.280 sleep as my child. You know, you do what I'm saying. 0:22:03.680 --> 0:22:06.800 So people's minds always go to this weird sexual place 0:22:06.800 --> 0:22:08.200 with stuff, and I want to make sure that we're 0:22:08.320 --> 0:22:10.800 addressing that before we get here. Okay, So there are 0:22:10.800 --> 0:22:14.400 people they dress up and then they read to children. Okay, 0:22:14.600 --> 0:22:20.480 if you're with me, then allow me to read this Woman. 0:22:21.040 --> 0:22:26.720 Representative Gloria Johnson asked her constituents about their feelings on wrestling, 0:22:26.920 --> 0:22:31.680 and she made some incredible points. She said, men wear 0:22:31.680 --> 0:22:37.360 tights and they wear makeup. And she made another interesting 0:22:37.400 --> 0:22:40.080 point by saying that drag people are dress in drag. 0:22:40.080 --> 0:22:44.160 They often don't show any skin, and especially not at 0:22:44.160 --> 0:22:49.560 a school, they're fully dressed up right. I don't imagine 0:22:49.560 --> 0:22:51.760 these drag shows are as popular as people are making 0:22:51.840 --> 0:22:54.520 them out to be, or like as common, you know. 0:22:54.640 --> 0:22:58.479 But the point is is that wrestling is geared toward children, 0:22:58.600 --> 0:23:00.320 and no one has anything to say about it. So 0:23:00.359 --> 0:23:05.080 that's a glaring double standard right there. And then, last, 0:23:05.200 --> 0:23:09.639 but not least, I have to mention a double standard 0:23:09.680 --> 0:23:13.160 that came up this week as well. Representative Jasmine Crockett 0:23:13.280 --> 0:23:18.560 said on MSNBC as she was discussing the January sixth 0:23:18.680 --> 0:23:22.520 choir song while I went to number one on iTunes. 0:23:22.960 --> 0:23:26.560 While she was describing how they went about making the song, 0:23:27.040 --> 0:23:28.760 She's like, hey, they have this equipment. They were able 0:23:28.840 --> 0:23:30.800 to put this song together and get this, you know, 0:23:31.440 --> 0:23:33.760 the president reading the Pledge of Allegiance and put out 0:23:33.800 --> 0:23:36.360 a song and went to number one. How is this possible? 0:23:36.880 --> 0:23:40.520 So she says, I've never seen tablets in prisons, and 0:23:40.520 --> 0:23:43.600 they used tablets to record this and text their family 0:23:43.640 --> 0:23:46.800 members and to review their own discovery. Exactly that too, 0:23:46.920 --> 0:23:50.280 but with laptops and so forth. And I got to think, 0:23:50.320 --> 0:23:53.840 and you know what, there's been so many rappers that 0:23:53.920 --> 0:23:56.919 have had to record their stuff over the phone, you know, 0:23:57.560 --> 0:24:00.240 rap songs. I think Wayne did one of them, doll Wayne. 0:23:59.840 --> 0:24:04.360 So anyway, I think that that also shows that there's 0:24:04.400 --> 0:24:07.800 a different way that the country treats people, you know, 0:24:08.560 --> 0:24:11.000 given the color of your skin. So with that said, 0:24:11.240 --> 0:24:15.120 we'll leave that right there. All right, now, it's time 0:24:15.200 --> 0:24:19.440 for the Way Black History Fact. Today's Way Black History 0:24:19.520 --> 0:24:22.399 Fact sponsored by Underground Beach Club from the streets to 0:24:22.440 --> 0:24:25.080
