• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Charlom Haine A god. I don't know why y'all keeping
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: letting him get you elected. Well, duvall Donkey today for Tuesday,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: January twenty fourth goes to Governor Ron de Santis in
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the Florida Department of education. First of all, I would
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: like to say I don't like this headline I'm seeing
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: on CNN. The headline says, Laida gives its reasons for
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: rejecting proposed ap African American studies course. It's not the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: state of Florida, okay, as government officials who represent the
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: state of Florida. But what did your uncle y'alla always
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: tell you about Florida. The craziest people in America come
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: from the Bronton all of Florida. But this isn't the
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: craziest citizens of Florida, well, not all of them, Okay,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: this is the crazy government officials in Florida. Now, if
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: you haven't heard, Florida government rejected a proposed advanced placement
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: course focused on African American studies. Oh, basically, they don't
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: want blacks to know nothing about blacks. Okay. If they
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: are not teaching it, okay. If the hunter is not
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: allowed to tell, to tell, then the lions shall not learn.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: All right. You know that old African proverb when tell
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: the lion tells the story, the hunter will always be
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the hero. This is the part where they muscle the lion,
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: all right. Won't be no reading, writing and roaring on
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: they watch now. The one page document appeared. A one
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: page document prepared by the Florida Department of Education says
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: that it rejected a proposed advanced placement course because it
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: included the study of topics like the Movement for Black Lives,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Black feminism, and reparation, and it questioned the inclusion of
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: certain black authors and historians whose writings touch on critical
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: race theory and black communism. Can I give you an
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: example of a lesson they don't want taught. The state
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: objects to the inclusion of writing by Robbing D. G. Kelly,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: a professor of American history at UCLA, who warns that
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: simply establishing safe spaces and renaming campus buildings does nothing
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to overthrow capitalism. She not lying at all. I mean,
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: those are steps in the right direction, but changing the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: label on poison the holistic medicine doesn't make it not
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: poison now. Florida also said the course framework for the
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: study of reparations has no critical perspective or balancing opinion
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: in this lesson. I feel like y'all think I'm lying. Okay,
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: So let's go to CBS Miami for the report. Police
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Governor rods at his facing widespread outrage of its administrations
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: projection of a new course on African American studies in
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the state high schools and the statement of relates to
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: CBS News. A spokesperson for the Department of Education and said,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: in part quote and its current form, the College boards
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: APay African Americans Studies course lacks educational value and there's
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: contrary to Florida law. If the course comes into compliance
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: and incorporates historically accurate content, the Department will reopen the discussion.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: It says. The Governor was in Fort Myers today and
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: made no mention of the decision. The course, which has
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: been tested at sixty schools across the country, aims to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: expand the advanced coursework offered by the College Board into
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: the study of the African diaspora in the US College Board.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: The organization behind the course responded with this statement. Like
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: all new ap courses, ap African American Studies is undergoing
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: a rigorous multi year pilot phase, collecting feedback from teachers, students, scholars,
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: and policymakers. We look forward to bringing this rich and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: inspiring exploration of African American history and culture to students
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: all across the country. What is the white man. I've
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: given us historically accurate content about us. Can I tell
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: you something. I think the act of blocking African American
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: studies is disgusting because it literally is saying in the
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: quiet part out loud, which is simply, we don't want
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: you negroes knowing nothing about enough. And Okay, it's the
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: tale as old as time. Shoot the nose off the spins.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Don't teach black people anything except how African American history
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: began with slavery. As long as we keep them dumb,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: deaf and blind to who they are, they will never
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: know what they can be. Oh which the Lion King baby, Okay,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: the whole chapter of my last book, Black Privilege, is
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: about how The Lion King was based on the history
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: of black people in America and how when we came
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: to Western civilization, we didn't know who we was until
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: Raffiki wokes himber up and reminded him. And that's what
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: this is. Okay. Rafiki may be coming in the form
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of ap African American Studies, and the government of Florida
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: is not happening it. Okay, We're gonna keep these negroes
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: eating bugs and singing a coonam with Toddle when they
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: know Dan, Well, it's a lot to worry about. Now
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: here's the thing, back to my original point. Okay, I
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: believe the act of blocking African American studies is disgusting,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: but we can't depend on white institutions to educate us
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: about us. Okay, teaching us about us has to be
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: on us, all right. That should be learned in the
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: home because the reality is you're not gonna hear about
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: Malcolm X, Nat Turner, then Mark Bessie, James Ballwin in
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: no public schools. Okay, they're gonna give you some MLK
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: junior with the side of Rosa Parks and that staff.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: Now Ron just and spoke to why he is against
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: the African American ape studies. Let's go to ABC ten
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: twittery port Plice Day. Governor Runda Santis is speaking at
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: a press conference today. He addressed the recent rejection of
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: an African American studies course at Florida high schools. This
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: course on black history. What are what's one of the
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: lessons about queer theory? Now, who would say that an
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: important part of black history is queer theory? That is
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: somebody pushing an agenda on our kids, and so when
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you look to see they have stuff about intersectionality, abolishing prisons,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: that's a political agenda. And so we're on that's the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: wrong side of the line for Florida's standards. We believe
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: in teaching kids facts and how to think, but we
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: don't believe they should have an agenda imposed on them.
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: The governor goes on to say that he and the
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: administration and we're outraged earlier this month after banning that
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: ap course, arguing that it violates state law and quote
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: lacks educational value. Now I can agree with Ron de
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: santists shouldn't be any political agenda involved in black history.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: And I asked someone who is way smarter than me,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: what is queer theory, and they said intersexuality. You know,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: think studying roles James Baldwin being you know, gay, you
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: know how that played a role in his life. Totally
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: understand that queer theory makes perfect sense. That I love
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: James Baldwin, you know, the panel conversations between him, Bayard Rustin,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: and Malcolm X are incredibly insightful. But I don't feel
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: as if they focused on identity politics the way this
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: generation does. They were all black first, and mind your
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: own business about who they sleeping with. Second. But that's
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: the type of stuff you could learn by teaching the class, okay.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: And you can't really teach the last twenty years of
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: black history, you know, without BLM, which was founded by
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: members of the queer community. So I think the difference
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: between now and then is that Bayard Rustin, James Baldwin,
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: they were members of the lgbt TQ community, but it
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: wasn't mentioned, but now it would be. So what do
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: we have here, ladies and gentlemen, a classic case of
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the white man white manning. Okay, this is what's been
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: happening since we got here, all right, always trying to
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: erase our history. So what's the answer. Yeah, we can
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: and should raise hell about this African American studies class
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: being blocked. But don't just focus on what the white
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: man isn't allowing us to teaching the schools. Focus on
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: what we are teaching our babies at home. Can we
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: please let Chelsea handle give Ron to Stantis in the
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Florida Department of Education the biggest he had Hee haw
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: hee haw. That is way too much. Dan Mann is
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: all right, all right, well, thank you for that. Donkey today.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: Now when we come back, we're taking your calls. Eight
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: hundred five A five one oh five one. We were
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: having a conversation behind the scenes. It started with La.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: La was our guest hosted, trying to get a Valentine.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: Clearly this morning we were talking about the difference between
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: I love you, I love you, and I love you,
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: those two terms. Right now. We were saying that I
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: love you. It's more personal, more intimate, more intimates, more casual,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: and people are saying people aren't putting as much thought
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: as they used to when they say love you. It's
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: just like saying goodbye or hello, or love you, love you,
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: love you. That's that's what I love you is very different,
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: and we're gonna talk about that when we come back
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: with the context of I love you, because I tell
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I tell friends I love you. Who? What do you
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: mean who? My friends? I don't love you? Don't look
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: so hurt about it. Hurt okay, But we're gonna talk
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: about it when we come back. Yes, it might be
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: the context I I don't think I've ever told my
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: friend I love you. I just I love I love you,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: love you. It just feels different when you say I
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: love you. It depends on context, but ne it on
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: top of somebody or they on top of you. Yeah,
• 8:42
