  Speaker 13: get them, get them, get them, get them, get them.
• 8:52
  Speaker 13: I didn't want to do it because there's too much
• 8:54
  Speaker 13: beef out here.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Can you tell me about your comedy show, please?
• 8:56
  Speaker 13: The comedy show I have. I'm doing the New York
• 8:58
  Speaker 13: Comedy On this right, it's ninth through eleventh, but bigger
• 9:03
  Speaker 13: than that. On the tenth, I'm taping my Netflix special
• 9:07
  Speaker 13: produced by Dave Chappelle's I'm I'm excited about that pause.
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: I'm coming that pause. I'm coming. I'm coming to the show.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be, It's gonna be. I'm excited about it.
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: I did it. I spoke spoke about this before in
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: this platform.
• 9:19
  Speaker 13: I did it before. For some reason, we just said
• 9:21
  Speaker 13: we're gonna shelve it, and we're gonna can it. We
• 9:23
  Speaker 13: want to start all over. When I did the first one,
• 9:26
  Speaker 13: Dave said, down there, you're funny, but just being funny
• 9:28
  Speaker 13: does not make a great special.
• 9:30
  Speaker 3: So this was two years ago, so I had to
• 9:32
  Speaker 3: go back to the drawing.
• 9:32
  Speaker 13: Board, you know, not reinvent myself to say, Okay, what's
• 9:35
  Speaker 13: gonna uh make this special special?
• 9:38
  Speaker 3: So this stuff that I'm talking about is self reflective
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: of me. Why why did it take so long for
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: you to finally get a special done now?
• 9:44
  Speaker 13: Because it wasn't the right time as a performer or entertator.
• 9:48
  Speaker 13: And this is what people go crazy when you try
• 9:50
  Speaker 13: to compare yourself to what other people doing. And you
• 9:52
  Speaker 13: see somebody else getting a certain amount of acknowledgeable whatever,
• 9:56
  Speaker 13: do like, why.
• 9:56
  Speaker 10: Is it not me?
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: And years ago I felt that way. I said, it's
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: not me because it's not the right time.
• 10:01
  Speaker 13: You know, I'm doing in New York. I'm doing in
• 10:03
  Speaker 13: New York, specially in New York. I'm doing my special
• 10:05
  Speaker 13: New York at at the hard Rock Hotel. They got
• 10:07
  Speaker 13: a beautiful ballroom space. And then we're gonna trick it out.
• 10:10
  Speaker 13: Shout to Ricky Hughes, shout to Dave Chapelle, shout out
• 10:12
  Speaker 13: to stand Latham. But I'll just put it like this,
• 10:14
  Speaker 13: it's just the right time.
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: But you're not like other comedians who go out there
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: and have been doing the same material for years, right
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: the every time I see you, you got different material.
• 10:23
  Speaker 13: Because for the most part, I'm a road comic, right,
• 10:26
  Speaker 13: So if you're a roll comic and you're going to
• 10:27
  Speaker 13: these different places every year, people are gonna be like,
• 10:30
  Speaker 13: I'm sick of him doing the same thing.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: And I tell you, it's a lot of comics out
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: here today that they just go for the money grab.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: I've heard, so I won't say any names.
• 10:37
  Speaker 13: I heard people like, oh man, I seen them I
• 10:40
  Speaker 13: see the same thing, but I always challenged myself to
• 10:43
  Speaker 13: come up with different material to elevate, and like you said,
• 10:48
  Speaker 13: a lot of.
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: People that come to my shows, they would agree with it.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: I'm always doing something different.
• 10:51
  Speaker 13: That's why what Dave told me he wanted to do
• 10:53
  Speaker 13: the special Olds, I could have been like, what are
• 10:55
  Speaker 13: you talking about? It was funny, but this is the
• 10:57
  Speaker 13: same guy that got over like four Grammys and me's
• 10:59
  Speaker 13: so if I'm going to take advice from anybody, I'm
• 11:01
  Speaker 13: gonna take it for him. And his words were, Donelle,
• 11:03
  Speaker 13: I can put you in front of room and your rip.
• 11:06
  Speaker 13: It doesn't make it a great special. But I think
• 11:07
  Speaker 13: where I'm at now with my stand up, like I say,
• 11:10
  Speaker 13: it's reflective of me.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: It's my life.
• 11:12
  Speaker 13: I'm talking about stuff that people can relate to. Co parenting,
• 11:15
  Speaker 13: you know what I'm saying. I'm talking about and I
• 11:16
  Speaker 13: know this is your favorite. I'm talking about mental health.
• 11:19
  Speaker 13: You know what I'm saying. I'm talking about stuff that
• 11:20
  Speaker 13: people can relate to. And I think, just go around,
• 11:22
  Speaker 13: it's gonna pop. You changed a little bit, because at
• 11:24
  Speaker 13: one time I'm.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Supposed to change. We don't change. You should change too.
• 11:28
  Speaker 6: If you didn't think Charlemagne was serious when it came
• 11:30
  Speaker 6: about mental health, but now you believe it because.
• 11:33
  Speaker 3: He was always serious about it. I was just sick
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: of it. Oh.
• 11:36
  Speaker 13: I was just like because I came up from place
• 11:39
  Speaker 13: I did not understand mental health any issues, and it
• 11:42
  Speaker 13: was a stick man. I gotta say, you have done
• 11:44
  Speaker 13: a great job of exposing that and let people think
• 11:47
  Speaker 13: you feel comfortable to really talk about it, because I
• 11:50
  Speaker 13: grew up in the era where we didn't understand any
• 11:52
  Speaker 13: of that. What we needed to do fix it all?
• 11:54
  Speaker 13: Just get a shot of Hennessy. You know what I'm saying,
• 11:56
  Speaker 13: local joint, You know what I'm saying, blow a load
• 11:59
  Speaker 13: or whatever. That's how we dealt with it.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: So I do.
• 12:02
  Speaker 13: I do agree with you, but now I think people
• 12:05
  Speaker 13: being abusive with it. Now you can have a conversation
• 12:08
  Speaker 13: without without it triggering some type of mental thing. You
• 12:12
  Speaker 13: gaslighting me, U respect my boundaries. My baby mother hit
• 12:17
  Speaker 13: me with a new joint the other jet. You would
• 12:19
  Speaker 13: notice triangulation, triangulation, it's a it's another mental health where
• 12:22
  Speaker 13: this mental health where she hit on me was so
• 12:24
  Speaker 13: she hit me with was so good?
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: What was the context? An argument?
• 12:28
  Speaker 13: Okay, something She was like, oh, that's true. I don't
• 12:30
  Speaker 13: know what it is, but it was so good. Three
• 12:33
  Speaker 13: days later I called her and said, what was that
• 12:36
  Speaker 13: mental health? New mental health word you gave me? So
• 12:38
  Speaker 13: I do understand that, but I think people lean on
• 12:40
  Speaker 13: it and just make excuses for stuff, and I think that,
• 12:43
  Speaker 13: you know, sometimes people got.
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: Got tough a little bit.
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: Triangulation is when a toxic or manipulative person, often a
• 12:49
  Speaker 5: person with strong and assistic brings a third person into
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: their relationship in control.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 12:56
  Speaker 5: That sounds limited and no communication between the two trying
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: me was except through the manipulator.
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: Oh we talk about words?
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: Are you gas like me?
• 13:03

• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Do you care about my mental health right now?
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: I do care about your mental health? The gas?
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: Do you mean right now?
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not guessing hurt?
• 13:13

• 13:42
  Speaker 13: heat and challenged him to a fight.
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: Yes you have no not like that, but yes you
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: know this ship is not is it?
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: He?
• 13:50
  Speaker 10: What?
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: Forget it?
• 13:52
  Speaker 16: All right?
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: We got more with Don hell Rawlings when we come back.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: This morning.
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: Everybody is DJ MV Charlamagne, the guy we all the
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: Breakfast Club was still kicking it with down now with Rolin.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Because even with that clip you seen me, I did
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: not know that was announcing you're special. I didn't know
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: it said.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: Clip.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: I did watch the clip, but you know why, because
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: your brain wanted to hear something else. Because I read
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: the headlines, I'm expecting to hear something else. But I'm like, clickbait.
• 14:19
  Speaker 3: I've seen this before. I feel like I've seen I've
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: seen done. I've seen him do this in person. Yeah,
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: I mean you got rich, bitch, no, but that was
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: the whole clip. Get him in there. But you know,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: we'll see.
• 14:29
  Speaker 13: But I'm I'm telling you when I say I'm excited
• 14:32
  Speaker 13: about taping this special a career comedian, most communities like this,
• 14:36
  Speaker 13: I want a special. And years ago I was felt
• 14:39
  Speaker 13: stronger about me wanting a special. But when that didn't happen,
• 14:44
  Speaker 13: and I kept grinding and I kept building my fan base.
• 14:47
  Speaker 13: Everything now it's like my fans wanted to happen.
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: We people will do specials to have this type of
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: career you've had.
• 14:54
  Speaker 13: Yeah, and you know, it's so funny you say that
• 14:55
  Speaker 13: because I said, and not being I said, I don't
• 14:58
  Speaker 13: need a special. You know, like the last couple of
• 15:00
  Speaker 13: years is probably the most money I've been making in
• 15:02
  Speaker 13: my career. I'm showing difference in my tenants or whatever.
• 15:06
  Speaker 13: And the thing that I like, what I'm building now
• 15:08
  Speaker 13: is that with that, you can never cancel me.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying.
• 15:11
  Speaker 13: If I don't work for a network, if I'm not
• 15:14
  Speaker 13: bonded to one thing, you can't cancel me. Because I
• 15:17
  Speaker 13: got people that I've been building these relationships with for
• 15:19
  Speaker 13: thirty years that are going to continue to come out
• 15:22
  Speaker 13: and right now with the fact of me taping one
• 15:25
  Speaker 13: before me going again. Right now, I'm not excited about
• 15:31
  Speaker 13: this because anything could happen, Anything could happen between now
• 15:35
  Speaker 13: and me taping it. Then what do I have to
• 15:37
  Speaker 13: fall back on the fact that after thirty two years
• 15:40
  Speaker 13: of doing comedy, I could put my name on a
• 15:42
  Speaker 13: marquee and people still come out and check for me.
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: And I'll tell you one thing.
• 15:46
  Speaker 13: When it comes to see me, everybody says, I think
• 15:49
  Speaker 13: he's one of the funniest comments to do it.
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: I tell you that all the time. But you just started.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: It just started.
• 15:55
  Speaker 13: You just started, you know, you just started. When I
• 15:57
  Speaker 13: first came up here, you tried to compare everybody to me,
• 15:59
  Speaker 13: and I was.
• 15:59
  Speaker 5: Like this, I said, Donelle is one of the funniest
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: stand ups on the planet, I said verb batim. I
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: saw Donelle on stage with Daja Pelle, Marlon Wayiams. Who
• 16:10
  Speaker 5: else came out that night? I remember said it entertainer.
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: Maybe maybe this was a couple of years ago when
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: y'all did Radio City, and I said, Donnelle was the
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: funniest person on that stage that night.
• 16:19
  Speaker 13: And it's not because I am the funniest, It's just
• 16:23
  Speaker 13: that I just when I go up there, I just
• 16:25
  Speaker 13: have a different energy after I've never phoned it in
• 16:30
  Speaker 13: anytime I'm go on stage, and we're talking about hundreds
• 16:33
  Speaker 13: of thousands of shows.
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: Every time I go on stage, I'm going up there
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: to kill it.
• 16:37
  Speaker 13: And it's not too many people that can say I've
• 16:40
  Speaker 13: had nights where it wasn't as good as other nights.
• 16:43
  Speaker 13: But I mean, in regard to consistency, I think I'm
• 16:46
  Speaker 13: one of I don't think I know I'm one of
• 16:49
  Speaker 13: the most consistent. We just did a show in Atlanta.
• 16:53
  Speaker 13: It was one of the day's arena shows. It was Me,
• 16:56
  Speaker 13: Marshall Brandon, Kevin Hart, and Dave Right and I went
• 17:00
  Speaker 13: up on stage and I just it was just like
• 17:04
  Speaker 13: bombs right. And then when I get on stage and
• 17:06
  Speaker 13: you're looking at it like a Dave multimillionaire, Kevin the multimillionaire,
• 17:11
  Speaker 13: you know.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: But the praises they gave me and in.
• 17:14
  Speaker 13: Respect they gave me after that, you know, I'm like this,
• 17:17
  Speaker 13: You know what, Donille, You're doing something right. It's one
• 17:19
  Speaker 13: thing to be accepted by your fans, but it's another
• 17:22
  Speaker 13: thing to be accepted by your peers, especially the ones
• 17:25
  Speaker 13: that it's super successful because it is easy for somebody
• 17:27
  Speaker 13: that's up here to look down at you and try
• 17:29
  Speaker 13: to compare how much money they make it to you.
• 17:31
  Speaker 13: But me and Kevin we talked. He looked at my face,
• 17:33
  Speaker 13: he said, donielle Man, I'm so proud of you. I've
• 17:35
  Speaker 13: been following your journey live the brotherhood that you and
• 17:38
  Speaker 13: Dave have.
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: It was a very humbling.
• 17:41
  Speaker 13: Experience because I remember me personally paying Kevin Hart seventy
• 17:46
  Speaker 13: five dollars to do a show, fifty dollars to do
• 17:47
  Speaker 13: a show when he came from Philly, and when he
• 17:50
  Speaker 13: was doing what a lot of black comments don't do.
• 17:52
  Speaker 13: He was playing both sides, not just a black circuit,
• 17:55
  Speaker 13: but he was playing the main street circuit. And I've
• 17:57
  Speaker 13: seen the work he put in, and he could easily
• 17:59
  Speaker 13: be like whatever down there. But it felt like back
• 18:02
  Speaker 13: in the day a sitting in the green room and
• 18:03
  Speaker 13: having those conversations.
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Treat you, treat all stages like they're your own.
• 18:09
  Speaker 13: After thirty two years, I still love doing it, not
• 18:14
  Speaker 13: just to make the money, but I love challenging myself.
• 18:17
  Speaker 13: I love finding that new joke that and I'm telling you,
• 18:20
  Speaker 13: if all goes well with this special, the materiity that
• 18:23
  Speaker 13: I'm doing and what I'm about to do, I'm about
• 18:26
  Speaker 13: to pop it because I really believe that comedy is
• 18:29
  Speaker 13: about to make a flip. Last four or five years,
• 18:32
  Speaker 13: everybody's I can't say this, They're gonna counsel me.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I can't say this. Now.
• 18:36
  Speaker 13: You're starting to get watered down comics and people are
• 18:38
  Speaker 13: editing themselves before they even go up there. But I
• 18:40
  Speaker 13: think with everything, there's a shift, and I think people
• 18:42
  Speaker 13: are fed up with it. There's a lot of people
• 18:45
  Speaker 13: that are like, they don't subscribe to counsel culture, and
• 18:47
  Speaker 13: I think it's gonna go back to, you know what,
• 18:49
  Speaker 13: raw comedy. And I'm not saying like off color comedy,
• 18:53
  Speaker 13: just somebody speaking from their heart and what they feel.
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: I don't think that. I don't think y'all have ever
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: stopped doing that, though we think that.
• 18:59
  Speaker 5: I think the problem with the game now is everybody's
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: trying to be edgy on purpose, and it's fake right
• 19:03
  Speaker 5: because everybody's like, shock, I'm gonna be real, I'm gonna
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: be the shocking president. It's not coming from a real place.
• 19:09
  Speaker 5: Back in the day, even when we were doing it,
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: it was shocked but we were just having a good
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: time to day.
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: What it is is stop using gimmicks. Just be funny.
• 19:17
  Speaker 13: When I first started, it was a thing like you
• 19:20
  Speaker 13: we knew it was gay comedians out there, but nobody
• 19:22
  Speaker 13: wanted to say it. They wouldn't say that. It was like,
• 19:25
  Speaker 13: all the crowd is gonna look at me a certain way.
• 19:27
  Speaker 13: And then so when you had a comedian that went
• 19:29
  Speaker 13: up there and said I'm gay, it was like, oh,
• 19:31
  Speaker 13: but now some of the comics from certain communities, that's
• 19:35
  Speaker 13: all they want to talk about.
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: That's all they want to talk about. Don't talk about that.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: Just be funny, you know what I'm saying.
• 19:40
  Speaker 13: I like, like, like you gotta like commute, be funny,
• 19:43
  Speaker 13: be funny, be funny, and just and stick to stuff
• 19:47
  Speaker 13: it's true to you. But you know, somebody told me
• 19:49
  Speaker 13: a long time ago, and I was like, why these
• 19:50
  Speaker 13: people don't do this, why these people don't do that?
• 19:53
  Speaker 13: And Big Tigger told me this. He said, Donelle, everything
• 19:56
  Speaker 13: you said, he said, that's what makes you special, you know.
• 19:58
  Speaker 13: And and that's what I want to make special about
• 20:01
  Speaker 13: this special because there's a lot of people that get
• 20:04
  Speaker 13: in specials and I can watch them and not to
• 20:06
  Speaker 13: be critical to people and I could I watch them
• 20:08
  Speaker 13: like this. Oh, they just wanted to do an hour
• 20:10
  Speaker 13: worth material. They didn't have the beginning, middle end. They
• 20:13
  Speaker 13: just want to do that. They didn't wanted to clear
• 20:14
  Speaker 13: a check. And to be quite honest, there's not too
• 20:18
  Speaker 13: many things that are special about a special but I
• 20:21
  Speaker 13: want this one to be one with people quoting it,
• 20:24
  Speaker 13: you know what I mean, saying stuff back in the
• 20:26
  Speaker 13: old day when Gooney Google, you know that, that type
• 20:28
  Speaker 13: of thing.
• 20:29
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: So I'm excited about it. So what do we gotta
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: do Friday to be a dispecial?

• 21:18
  Speaker 6: mornings will never be the same.
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: Let's say, if y'all talking about it, you know we
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: talking about it. It's tothing times called eight hundred five
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: eight five one five one to join into the discussion
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: with the Breakfast Club Morning.
• 21:39
  Speaker 6: Everybody's DJ env Charlamagne de God. We are the Breakfast
• 21:43
  Speaker 6: Club now if you're just joining us. We were talking
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: about something in Front Page News earlier today. It was
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: the fact that Florida Border Education approves new Black history
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: standards that teach house slaves develop skills for their personal benefit.
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: So we were talking about, since they're pulling pretty much
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: black history out of schools now and pulling out the
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: books and don't want to teach black history, what do
• 22:03
  Speaker 6: we need to do as a community to make sure
• 22:05
  Speaker 6: that our young kids actually know what went on in
• 22:08
  Speaker 6: black history and the future generation, and how do we
• 22:11
  Speaker 6: educate them.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: That was the question that we were having this morning.
• 22:13
  Speaker 5: Well, you know, like I said earlier, you know, you
• 22:15
  Speaker 5: can't depend on white institutions to teach teach all kids.
• 22:18
  Speaker 5: You know, that is something the Nation of Islam and
• 22:20
  Speaker 5: other great black leaders have been telling us since the
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: beginning of time. For me, I feel like we just
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: got to encourage our kids to read. You know, we
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: have to recommend books for them to read. I was
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: blessed to have a mother who was a Jehovah's Witness
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: and an English teacher, so you know, she kept the
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: Bible in my face and watched Howers and Awake. So
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: that was the first little child was exposed to. Then
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: we had the book at program when I was a
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: kid in elementary school and I was reading four books
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: to get a free pizza, and my mom told me
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: read things that don't pertain to you. That's when I
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: started reading Judie Bloom and Beverly Clearly and all that stuff.
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: And then my pops, you know, he gave me books
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: like The Autobiography of Malcolm X, which let me down
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: a rabbit hole of wanting to know everything I could
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: about the NI but also any book that I saw
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: Malcolm X reference, I read it, you know, And I've
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: always done that. If I read a book and then
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: they reference another book in that book, then I'll go
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: read you know, that book.
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: That's why I thought, you.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: Know, when somebody like Nipsey Hustle was alive, you know,
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: he was so brilliant because Nipsey would always reference different
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: books in his interviews. Nipsey Hustle even had a booklest
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: that he put out, you know, And I think that's
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: that's what you have to do. You just got to encourage,
• 23:19
  Speaker 5: you know, our kids to read and recommend them things
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: to read.
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree with you.
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: I said earlier that I think we need to develop
• 23:26
  Speaker 6: more programs like even in the church, right, a lot
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: of black families go to church together and have those
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: days where we teach about our black history and black heroes.
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: But also I think as parents, I think parents need
• 23:38
  Speaker 6: to knowledge themselves, you know, because it's very difficult to
• 23:42
  Speaker 6: teach your child if you don't have the proper history.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: It's like anything else. Like you know, my father's a
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: retired police officer.
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: He was able to teach me laws when I was
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: a kid, and teach me about just things as far
• 23:54
  Speaker 6: as you know what to do if I get pulled
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: over what laws mean and how did judicial system work?
• 24:00
  Speaker 6: Because he was part of it. But like you said,
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: I think we have to educate ourselves so we could
• 24:04
  Speaker 6: actually educate our children, because there's a lot with Black
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: history that I'm still learning now because I honestly wasn't
• 24:10
  Speaker 6: taught as a child.
• 24:11
  Speaker 5: I envy people who've gone to African American studies, you know,
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: I mean I love the way, you know, somebody like
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: an Amanda Seals can just reference history so quickly, somebody
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: like a Michael Eric Dyson, and you know, we know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: we know the literacy ration black and brown communities are high.
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: That's a whole other conversation.
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: That's that's actually why Kevin Hart and I started our
• 24:29
  Speaker 5: company with Audible SBAH Production, because you know, I think
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: that sometimes it's not that kids aren't reading, there's just
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: other ways for them to get that information. So instead
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: of reading, now they people are listening, you know. So
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: it's like I always had the idea, even though we
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: did put out you know, Finding Tamika and some of
• 24:45
  Speaker 5: some of the eighty five. Some of eighty five is
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: about you know what happened the Move organization in Philadelphia.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: But I always taught that kids. Always thought that kids
• 24:54
  Speaker 5: could take in this information by listening. I lost my
• 24:58
  Speaker 5: train of thought just now, the hell, I lost my
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: train to thought.
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: Like oh, I would say, I think. I think that
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: kids can.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: Learn, uh, you know, more more by listening now than
• 25:07
  Speaker 5: actually picking up books and reading. Yeah, And I wanted celebrity,
• 25:10
  Speaker 5: That's what I'm gonna say. I wanted celebrities to do
• 25:13
  Speaker 5: the audio books, right. That was that was an idea
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: we had when we launched this company. Have celebrities reading audiobooks, right,
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: And you know, Audible kind of took the idea and
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: they had Lawrence Fishburne read The Aughter Biker for you
• 25:23
  Speaker 5: and Malcolm X.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: But that's fine as long as it happens, you know.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: But but you know what too, And I would also
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: say this for a lot of parents.
• 25:29
  Speaker 6: A lot of times we take our kids to you know,
• 25:32
  Speaker 6: on vacation, and vacation can mean many different things from
• 25:35
  Speaker 6: many different people. It can mean taking them to Six Flags,
• 25:37
  Speaker 6: it can mean taking them to Miami for Disney World
• 25:40
  Speaker 6: or whatever. And I think sometimes and that's fine, but
• 25:42
  Speaker 6: we we're gonna have to think of alternative things to do,
• 25:46
  Speaker 6: like going to experiences, right, but like going to museums
• 25:48
  Speaker 6: like the museum that just open up in South Carolina
• 25:50
  Speaker 6: National America when that's opened up in DC, and even
• 25:53
  Speaker 6: when in South Carolina, I want to go to because
• 25:55
  Speaker 6: there's so much history, right you learn that's where you
• 25:57
  Speaker 6: know a lot of that's where the first ships came.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: That a lot of us, you know, touch down on
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: this land. So I would learn. I would love to
• 26:03
  Speaker 1: learn that history.
• 26:04
  Speaker 6: I've been fortunate enough to go to Africa and fortunate
• 26:07
  Speaker 6: enough to go to South Africa and see these different
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: places that you know, from where from where Bob Marley
• 26:13
  Speaker 6: was in Jamaica to where trying to think of some
• 26:16
  Speaker 6: of the houses that we went to over there so
• 26:18
  Speaker 6: many different houses.
• 26:19
  Speaker 5: Even with that, and you're absolutely right what you're saying,
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: but just speaking from a person who has the financial means.
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: Right, But that's what I'm saying, like instead of maybe
• 26:26
  Speaker 6: going to six Flags, going to the museum, and sometimes
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: there's museum that prices are not that expensive. They're ten
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: dollars for ticket, and I'm sure a lot of times
• 26:32
  Speaker 6: they do it for free. Just to teach our own
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: but just experiences like that that we can actually see,
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: touch and get there the proper knowledge.
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: How about your how about do something as simple as
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: go get a library card. That's true, you know what
• 26:43
  Speaker 3: I'm saying.
• 26:43
  Speaker 5: Go get a library called and then go, you know,
• 26:46
  Speaker 5: look up some books to go get. I always tell
• 26:48
  Speaker 5: people all the time. Start with the autobiography of Malcolm X.
• 26:51
  Speaker 5: There's a great book that I read when I was young,
• 26:53
  Speaker 5: called from n Words to Gods by a Kill And
• 26:55
  Speaker 5: the way that he wrote the book, he wrote the
• 26:56
  Speaker 5: book the way we actually talk, you know what I mean.
• 26:59
  Speaker 5: So it was like he's cursing in it and he's
• 27:01
  Speaker 5: using screet binocuas right, but he's educating at the same time,
• 27:05
  Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like everything don't have to
• 27:06
  Speaker 5: be eighteen letter Shakespearean.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Words right for you to learn.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: I think I was able to go to Nelson Mandela's house.
• 27:12
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 27:12
  Speaker 6: I was able to go to where Nelson Mandella grew up.
• 27:14
  Speaker 6: So I was able to see it. But I had
• 27:15
  Speaker 6: the means to do it. But before I had the means,
• 27:17
  Speaker 6: my mom had me and those museums. But let's go
• 27:19
  Speaker 6: to the phone lines. We got Jamisha on the line Jamisha,
• 27:22
  Speaker 6: good morning.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: Good morning, good morning, Jamisha.
• 27:25
  Speaker 11: Hey my god, I want a first day that I
• 27:28
  Speaker 11: love you guys, and I listened to you guys every morning.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Thank you very much, Jamisha. We appreciate it.
• 27:33
  Speaker 11: Yeah, So I just wanted to time in and just
• 27:36
  Speaker 11: give my advice. I'm a thirty seven just to give
• 27:40
  Speaker 11: you guys the idea of where I'm coming from. I'm
• 27:44
  Speaker 11: a mom of a threeting boy, and I tried to
• 27:46
  Speaker 11: just share stories with him because the literature out there
• 27:50
  Speaker 11: is not very fun for the kids to read or
• 27:52
  Speaker 11: inter see.
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: So I feel like it starts at home.
• 27:56
  Speaker 10: We as the.
• 27:56
  Speaker 11: Parents have to be encouraged to learn it so that
• 27:59
  Speaker 11: we could and that we verbally share those stories with
• 28:02
  Speaker 11: our kids so that hopefully when they get older, they'll
• 28:05
  Speaker 11: read those stories or watch those movies that we watched
• 28:09
  Speaker 11: when we got older, or sometimes when we were getting
• 28:11
  Speaker 11: younger and we didn't understand what was going on.
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: Totally agree.
• 28:15
  Speaker 11: Oh, I agree that I just feel like it starts there.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Totally agree. All right, thank you, I totally agree.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Starting the out, we have Diane on the line. Diane,

• 28:34
  Speaker 17: traveling to God. Lady said, let's h figure out to
• 28:38
  Speaker 17: me because good morning. But I myself, I'm a grandma
• 28:42
  Speaker 17: and my oldest child was older than you, Sallom and
• 28:46
  Speaker 17: the God. But what happened is because of the climate.
• 28:49
  Speaker 17: I'm retired on I would faced with the opportunity to
• 28:53
  Speaker 17: come to school my eleven or two year old brand
• 28:57
  Speaker 17: I've been doing this for a couple of years when
• 28:59
  Speaker 17: we're registered through the Border Edge.
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: In North Carolina. I'm from New York, but my family
• 29:04
  Speaker 8: is from South Carolina. I put it upon myself to
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: incorporate black history as a subject, and I seached them
• 29:12
  Speaker 8: and we've been We're in all the books fifteen nineteen.
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: Black history is our social studies books.
• 29:18
  Speaker 10: We do that.
• 29:19
  Speaker 8: We talk about history. We have there's a link black
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: fact dot com website which gives you so much pertinent
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: information black history. We talk about that. We're in the Quran,
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: We're in the Bible, your book shook one. We're just
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: all over the place. But I make sure that they
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: know the sound gasm. I also because I've gone through
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: something some years ago. I spend out inspirations every morning
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: sixt o'clock in the morning. Used to be one or
• 29:51
  Speaker 8: two people, is now one hundred and fifty people. And
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: I do it one by one because I don't do
• 29:57
  Speaker 8: But what I do is I am like Loom. I'm
• 29:59
  Speaker 8: Black history. We're not go for February, but for every month.
• 30:05
  Speaker 8: And we talk about things, not because the normal things
• 30:08
  Speaker 8: people would talk about Martin Luther King, not that we
• 30:10
  Speaker 8: don't talk about them, but we've gone into everything. We
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: talk about the Maccade, we talk about the history.
• 30:17
  Speaker 10: So I do that.
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: Growing up in New York's history was something that Black
• 30:21
  Speaker 8: history we were a part of. There was a lot
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: of doings that there was a foundation of history, and
• 30:25
  Speaker 8: we were kind of taught that in the school a
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: little bit, but the rest really missed. We grew up
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: in that era. It's different now. And it's true a
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: lot of Black families don't in history. A lot of
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: them don't have mind to teach their children. A lot
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: of them do depend on the schools, but you have
• 30:43
  Speaker 8: to be minding of what's going on in the school.
• 30:46
  Speaker 8: They were in the schools during the pandemic, how they
• 30:49
  Speaker 8: were handling that and they're not being taught. But they
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: can't blame the townies because a lot of them don't
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: know themselves.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: You're right, queen, Thank you very much.
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: Thank you so much.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: By the way, how old are you as how old
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: are you as a grandmother?
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: I'm close to seventy. I never thought I would be
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: in this position, would be doing this, but I am graceed.
• 31:08
  Speaker 10: I love it.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: We love it too. We're glad that God kept you
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: here to be able to do it.
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: That's right, mama, Absolutely absolutely. Y'all have a blessed and
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: thank you so much. Keep doing what you're doing.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: A great weekend, mama. What's the more of the story
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: and all of the stories?
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: What I said earlier, you can't rely on white institutions, uh,
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: you know to teach your kids black history, you know
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: what I mean, Like you do have to do a
• 31:27
  Speaker 5: lot of self education at home.
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: Man.
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: And I also want to say, please, let's stop repeating
• 31:31
  Speaker 5: white propaganda talking points in regards to black people. If
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: we start having conversations about black people self educating and
• 31:38
  Speaker 5: encouraging each other to read, please, folks, let's not start
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: saying black people can't read and black parents don't teach
• 31:43
  Speaker 5: their kids to read. That's not that's nonsense, and that's
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: not all the way acurate. You know what I'm saying.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: All these people who called up here, you know, telling
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: us how they teach their kids at home. The grandma
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: who says she homeschooled her kids talked in black history.
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: Y'all give me a lot of hope. There's nothing dumb
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: about us, there's nothing uneducated about us. Don't listen to
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: these white props began to talking points about us and
• 32:02
  Speaker 5: in regard to to literacy, and please don't repeat them.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Man, all right, gets the Breakfast Club the morning, the

  Speaker 16: Yes, empower me tour.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 32:28
  Speaker 16: That's right.
• 32:28
  Speaker 5: I feel like I've been hearing about the United Negro
• 32:30
  Speaker 5: College Fund my whole life, but not that much in
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: recent times.
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: So really, yeah, so what does the United year College
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: Fund do? Listen?
• 32:38
  Speaker 12: We've been around going on eighty years, so that's why
• 32:40
  Speaker 12: you've been hearing about it since you were little. But
• 32:44
  Speaker 12: you know, we provide educational support for minority students. So
• 32:49
  Speaker 12: with the empower Me Tour, it's a traveling road show
• 32:53
  Speaker 12: where we talk about college readiness, we talk about career readiness,
• 32:56
  Speaker 12: and we give millions of dollars in scholarships for people
• 32:59
  Speaker 12: to attend school, not just graduating high school seniors, but
• 33:04
  Speaker 12: also people in college can still get scholarships through the UNCF.
• 33:09
  Speaker 5: I always want to, you know, like, do people are
• 33:10
  Speaker 5: people as aware of resources like this as they need
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: to be?
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 33:14
  Speaker 12: I feel like we can always do a better job
• 33:17
  Speaker 12: of making sure people know that resources are there. Un
• 33:21
  Speaker 12: CF is not just to get students to college. It's
• 33:25
  Speaker 12: our responsibility to get students through college also. So with
• 33:29
  Speaker 12: the resources are coming in all the time to UNCF.
• 33:32
  Speaker 12: So I tell students and parents to visit UNCF dot
• 33:37
  Speaker 12: org every other week because we have scholarships that pop
• 33:40
  Speaker 12: up all throughout the month, all throughout the year, and
• 33:44
  Speaker 12: to just know what is actually out there for students.
• 33:47
  Speaker 16: To attend college for free. I mean, education is expensive, sure.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: What are some of the qualifications to get some of
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: these students in college.
• 33:53
  Speaker 12: You know what, It honestly depends on the type of
• 33:56
  Speaker 12: scholarship there is. You know, some have three point zero
• 33:59
  Speaker 12: GPA qualifications, some might even have two point seven or
• 34:02
  Speaker 12: your three point five and above. Some of them you
• 34:05
  Speaker 12: have to write an essay. It really all depends on
• 34:08
  Speaker 12: the type of scholarship that you're applying for. Like with
• 34:11
  Speaker 12: the empower Me Tour, we have counselors that come on
• 34:14
  Speaker 12: site and give on site admissions to students on the spot.
• 34:18
  Speaker 16: Not just that, we have college admissions counselors offering.
• 34:23
  Speaker 12: Full for your scholarships to students who didn't even know
• 34:26
  Speaker 12: that they could attend college or could attend an HBCU.
• 34:30
  Speaker 12: We really try to do the empower Me Tour in
• 34:32
  Speaker 12: places where there aren't HBCUs so we can educate people
• 34:36
  Speaker 12: that HBCUs exist and scholarships are available.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: So this is only for HBCUs. You only give in
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: college h Now we give.
• 34:43
  Speaker 16: Scholarship money to not just HBCUs.
• 34:46
  Speaker 12: People can get a UNC of scholarship and attend any
• 34:49
  Speaker 12: school of their choice. We just want to make sure
• 34:52
  Speaker 12: people know in places, in spaces that HBCUs exists.
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: What was so important for you to go to a
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: hbc of course you with the Claw Atlanta.
• 35:01
  Speaker 16: Well, of course I went to Clark Atlanta.
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: Where are you from?
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: You got to stop blushing.
• 35:04
  Speaker 6: I'm originally from Mississippi, Mississippi, so every time you hear Clarkey.
• 35:08
  Speaker 16: Blush, listen, that's where my husband came from. So maybe
• 35:11
  Speaker 16: that's you know, at Clark Atlanta.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: DJ Drama went to clock Atlanta too, Okay.
• 35:16
  Speaker 12: Yes, DJ Drama went to Clark Atland. We were there
• 35:18
  Speaker 12: around the same time. My parents went to Clark College.
• 35:21
  Speaker 16: My brother went to Howard, my other brother went to Morehouse.
• 35:23
  Speaker 16: Like we are an HBCU family.
• 35:26
  Speaker 12: Like my business partners you know, went to Hampton one
• 35:30
  Speaker 12: okay and the other one went to Clark Atlanta. So
• 35:32
  Speaker 12: it just fostered relationships HBCUs and just homecoming. There's no
• 35:37
  Speaker 12: homecoming like in HBCU facts. Okay, So that's why I
• 35:42
  Speaker 12: love it.
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: So what made you want to go? Was it instilled
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: with your family or is it it wasn't still with
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: my family?
• 35:47
  Speaker 12: It was you know again, I've been attending homecoming at
• 35:51
  Speaker 12: Clark Atlanta since I was two years old, you know,
• 35:53
  Speaker 12: because both my parents went there, and just watching the
• 35:57
  Speaker 12: relationships that my parents had with other people from Clark
• 36:01
  Speaker 12: and Land University, and like those are my aunts and
• 36:03
  Speaker 12: uncle's extended family.
• 36:05
  Speaker 16: I just fell in love with it.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: People don't talk about that aspect enough of the networking
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: that happens at these hbcs. What did you or who
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: did you meet that led you to end up being
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: the director of the United Negro College One.
• 36:17
  Speaker 12: I mean, first of all, my father received a un
• 36:19
  Speaker 12: CF scholarship, So watching him talk about receiving a UNCF scholarship,
• 36:25
  Speaker 12: and watching him work at General Motors and then turn
• 36:29
  Speaker 12: around and give back for other black and brown people
• 36:33
  Speaker 12: and people at Clark Atlanta, Spellman and Moorhouse to be engineers,
• 36:36
  Speaker 12: and just watching that. Foster always had a good, loving
• 36:40
  Speaker 12: relationship for you in CF. But it really is the networking.
• 36:46
  Speaker 12: You have relationships with people. I do business with people
• 36:49
  Speaker 12: that I went to school with. We still have those
• 36:52
  Speaker 12: genuine relationships you work with them. When you think about, Okay,
• 36:57
  Speaker 12: if I have an event taking place, I'm thinking about, well,
• 37:00
  Speaker 12: so who can I help that went to clock Atlanta
• 37:03
  Speaker 12: with me?
• 37:03
  Speaker 16: Or who you know went to another HBCU.
• 37:05
  Speaker 12: A lot of the work that I do, even in
• 37:08
  Speaker 12: the events world, I provide opportunities for other HBCU graduates
• 37:12
  Speaker 12: well with.
• 37:13
  Speaker 5: Some advice on tips you can give to help students
• 37:15
  Speaker 5: apply for and receive scholarships from you UNTIA.
• 37:18
  Speaker 12: The first thing I would want them to do is
• 37:20
  Speaker 12: to go to UNCF dot org and set up an
• 37:23
  Speaker 12: account and check back there every other week, because again,
• 37:28
  Speaker 12: scholarships pop up every day that we're offering again. If
• 37:33
  Speaker 12: you're a graduating senior in high school, check it out.
• 37:36
  Speaker 12: Set up an account. If you are in college and
• 37:39
  Speaker 12: looking for an internship, looking for scholarship opportunities, set up
• 37:43
  Speaker 12: an account at UNCF dot org and just continue to
• 37:47
  Speaker 12: check back. Make sure you have your resume, you know,
• 37:49
  Speaker 12: written out. Talk to someone that does resume building. It's
• 37:53
  Speaker 12: so important. Make sure that you have your statement written
• 37:56
  Speaker 12: out of why you want to even go to college,
• 37:59
  Speaker 12: whatever college are you university? That is so just being
• 38:01
  Speaker 12: proactive and preparing yourself.
• 38:03
  Speaker 6: How early is too early? I know you said senior year,
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: but sometimes senior year might be a little too late
• 38:09
  Speaker 6: because you just don't necessarily know. So how early should
• 38:12
  Speaker 6: I should? Parents should be looking into colleges, and same
• 38:15
  Speaker 6: thing with students.
• 38:16
  Speaker 16: You know, you can set up your account at UNCF
• 38:18
  Speaker 16: dot org.
• 38:19
  Speaker 12: I mean as a freshman in high school, okay, and
• 38:22
  Speaker 12: start looking at different scholarships and looking for what is
• 38:26
  Speaker 12: it that you need to apply for those certain types
• 38:28
  Speaker 12: of scholarships. It's never too early to talk to students
• 38:32
  Speaker 12: about scholarships, about financial aid. I mean that is so
• 38:35
  Speaker 12: important for parents and students to fill out that financial
• 38:39
  Speaker 12: aid information. And I know the FASTPA has changed over
• 38:43
  Speaker 12: the course of this year, so it's making sure you
• 38:46
  Speaker 12: fill out your FASTPA. Set up that account at UNCF
• 38:48
  Speaker 12: dot org. It doesn't matter how old you are. You
• 38:51
  Speaker 12: can start talking to your kids about scholarships in you know, fifth, sixth,
• 38:54
  Speaker 12: seventh grade, like we need money for you to attend school.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 38:58
  Speaker 6: You know a lot of parents are I don't want
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: to say have problems with scholarships, but have problems with
• 39:02
  Speaker 6: scholarships because they get the scholarship to get their kid
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: into school, right, but now their kid is in school,
• 39:07
  Speaker 6: they're freshmen. Now what happens sophomore year? Are some of
• 39:09
  Speaker 6: these scholarships four year scholarships or they just one year scholarship?
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: You got to get in then you're on your own.
• 39:13
  Speaker 12: Oh no, A lot of scholarships are four year renewable
• 39:16
  Speaker 12: scholarships as long as you continue to keep that GPA requirement,
• 39:21
  Speaker 12: as long as you continue to keep whatever the requirements
• 39:24
  Speaker 12: are for that scholarship. And it's so important to look
• 39:27
  Speaker 12: and say, okay, is this scholarship renewable, you know, for
• 39:30
  Speaker 12: my student, so they can plan accordingly.
• 39:33
  Speaker 16: There are some scholarships that might be a one time.
• 39:36
  Speaker 12: So if you do get that scholarship that's one time,
• 39:38
  Speaker 12: then you have to go back to the drawing board
• 39:40
  Speaker 12: and say, okay, let me see about some scholarship money
• 39:42
  Speaker 12: over here, over here, over here.
• 39:44
  Speaker 16: You can also piecemell it together. It doesn't all have
• 39:47
  Speaker 16: to come from one place.
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: Gotcha all we have more with Stacy Lee Sprapp, she's
• 39:51
  Speaker 6: the director of the United Negro College Fund. We'll talk
• 39:53
  Speaker 6: to her some more when we come back. It's the
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: breakfast Club. Good morning warning. Everybody is dj n V
• 39:58
  Speaker 6: Lamina God. We are the Fist Club. We're still kicking
• 40:01
  Speaker 6: it with Stacey Lee Spratch, he's the director of the
• 40:03
  Speaker 6: United Negro College Fund, Charloma.
• 40:05
  Speaker 5: When they talk when you talk about certain requirements and
• 40:07
  Speaker 5: I didn't go to college, to forgive me for my stupidness,
• 40:09
  Speaker 5: but is it scholarships that's like if you if you're
• 40:12
  Speaker 5: five six, you know.
• 40:13
  Speaker 16: What, there's a scholarship out there if you're left handed,
• 40:16
  Speaker 16: that's okay.
• 40:17
  Speaker 12: It is scholarship money out there for everything you can
• 40:20
  Speaker 12: think of.
• 40:21
  Speaker 16: And I think that's the key to it.
• 40:22
  Speaker 12: You have to look for scholarships that make you might
• 40:24
  Speaker 12: be thinking like I mean, it was a left handed scholarship,
• 40:28
  Speaker 12: but it's out there. There are scholarships for all things,
• 40:31
  Speaker 12: whether you play sports, whether you don't play sports, whether
• 40:33
  Speaker 12: you're majoring in STEM, whether you're majoring and marketing, even
• 40:37
  Speaker 12: entrepreneurial scholarships.
• 40:38
  Speaker 16: So it is scholarships available for everyone.
• 40:41
  Speaker 12: It's doing the research, spending the time to do the research,
• 40:45
  Speaker 12: being organized about where you're looking and what you're looking for.
• 40:48
  Speaker 5: I wonder why why do they have a scholarship for
• 40:51
  Speaker 5: like left handed people?
• 40:51
  Speaker 16: Yes, center, I don't know because I didn't create this.
• 40:54
  Speaker 6: M might have been a left handed billionaire that says,
• 40:56
  Speaker 6: you know what, I just want to support other left.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Handed people out there.
• 40:58
  Speaker 16: You can come up with however you want to do,
• 41:01
  Speaker 16: you know, scholarships.
• 41:03
  Speaker 12: When myself in Pinky Call, we gave scholarship money for
• 41:07
  Speaker 12: thirty graduating seniors at Clark and Land university.
• 41:10
  Speaker 16: We had no rhyme or reason.
• 41:12
  Speaker 12: Our reason was that they would not be able to
• 41:14
  Speaker 12: graduate if they didn't pay that dollar amount. So sometimes
• 41:18
  Speaker 12: you have people that just say, you know what, I
• 41:20
  Speaker 12: want to make sure these students graduate. I don't care
• 41:23
  Speaker 12: what their GPA is. It could be a two point Oh,
• 41:25
  Speaker 12: it doesn't matter. I want to make sure they get
• 41:27
  Speaker 12: the money so they can walk across that stack point.
• 41:29
  Speaker 16: And that's what we did. Hey, we didn't care, it
• 41:32
  Speaker 16: didn't matter.
• 41:32
  Speaker 12: You owed money, and we wanted to make sure that
• 41:35
  Speaker 12: you were able to graduate in the spring.
• 41:38
  Speaker 16: And so that's what we did.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: My daddy said, if I get a two point on,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: I'm coming back to Queens.
• 41:41
  Speaker 12: Listen, you can graduate college still with the true point.
• 41:45
  Speaker 12: Oh and you graduate, and thank you, Lottie. But you're graduating,
• 41:50
  Speaker 12: thank you, lady.
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: Now, how can students prepare and pay for college, especially
• 42:02
  Speaker 5: with the federal student aid deadline coming up?
• 42:05
  Speaker 10: Oh?
• 42:05
  Speaker 16: Yeah, the deadline is around the corner.
• 42:07
  Speaker 12: So they need to apply. You must apply to see
• 42:10
  Speaker 12: what you qualify for. What kind of scholarships you qualify for? Again,
• 42:15
  Speaker 12: Google is.
• 42:15
  Speaker 16: Your best friend?
• 42:16
  Speaker 12: YouTube University is your best friend? Really, look up what
• 42:20
  Speaker 12: scholarships are available, But again go to UNCF dot org.
• 42:25
  Speaker 12: Because we have thousands of scholarships available. We give away
• 42:28
  Speaker 12: millions of dollars.
• 42:29
  Speaker 16: Todate U and CF is probably given out over four
• 42:33
  Speaker 16: billion dollars in educating young people.
• 42:36
  Speaker 6: Today is doctor Martin Luther King Junior Day? So for
• 42:38
  Speaker 6: that day or you guys doing something special for today,
• 42:42
  Speaker 6: or well, doctor.
• 42:43
  Speaker 16: Martin Luther King went to Morehouse College.
• 42:45
  Speaker 12: But we're not doing anything in particular besides what we
• 42:49
  Speaker 12: always do, which is provide an education for black.
• 42:52
  Speaker 16: And brown and young people.
• 42:54
  Speaker 5: What are some benefits of going to an HBCU CAA.
• 42:55
  Speaker 5: My daughter's fifteen now, and you know she's of course
• 42:58
  Speaker 5: she's already talking about college.
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: So what's the what's the benefits of going to an
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: hbc U versus the p w A.
• 43:03
  Speaker 12: You know, I think for me, it's seeing people that
• 43:05
  Speaker 12: look like you doing great things. It's again that community,
• 43:10
  Speaker 12: it's a smaller classroom. It's also go where you're celebrated,
• 43:14
  Speaker 12: not where you're tolerated.
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: What's the point of being a delta?
• 43:17
  Speaker 16: What's the point of being a.
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: What's the benefits Bene must.
• 43:31
  Speaker 11: Do?
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: My mother, my wife's mother is adult. What's the point
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: of being a Delta, Wow, what's the benefit. It's respectful
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: at the point. The benefits, the.
• 43:42
  Speaker 16: Benefits of being.
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: Wow, look at being a gallery it up.
• 43:50
  Speaker 16: Listen.
• 43:51
  Speaker 12: Being a member of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Incorporated was
• 43:54
  Speaker 12: one of the greatest decisions for me. They are my sisters,
• 43:59
  Speaker 12: my line sisters, my big sisters, my little sisters. Again,
• 44:03
  Speaker 12: I not only work with them, I love them.
• 44:06
  Speaker 16: It is a sisterhood.
• 44:07
  Speaker 12: I don't have sisters. I have two older brothers. You know,
• 44:10
  Speaker 12: I have a sissy that you know is my cousin.
• 44:13
  Speaker 12: But it is about the love, it's about the sisterhood.
• 44:16
  Speaker 12: It's about the community, it's about giving back. So all
• 44:19
  Speaker 12: of those things are what Delta encompasses.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, because I think about it.
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: If you go to an HBCU, that's one level of
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: the sisterhood, absolutely and then together and that's with your
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: Black Black people.
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: But then you get pledged Delta, that's a whole other.
• 44:30
  Speaker 12: Level, Listen, a whole other level of sisterhood and brotherhood.
• 44:34
  Speaker 12: I mean again, that HBCU camaraderie is a sisterhood and
• 44:38
  Speaker 12: brotherhood in itself, whether you pledge something or not. And
• 44:42
  Speaker 12: even pledging Delta, I still have a ka's that I
• 44:45
  Speaker 12: so love. I mean, my public is an AKA, you know,

  Speaker 5: Today Donkey Today's gooes the Oscar nominated actress Felicity Huffman. Now,
• 46:57
  Speaker 5: unless you've been fasting from social media for the last
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: few years, and you may not know that Felicity Huffans
• 47:02
  Speaker 5: served some time in prison and completed court ordered community
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: service because she broke the law. Okay, she pleaded guilty
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: in twenty nineteen the conspiracy to commit mail fraud and
• 47:12
  Speaker 5: honest Services mail fraud.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: I don't even know what that is.
• 47:15
  Speaker 5: And she served eleven days of a fourteen day prison
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: sentence and was ordered to do two hundred and fifty
• 47:20
  Speaker 5: hours of community service.
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: And pay a fine.
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: All because she tried to take a shortcut and she
• 47:26
  Speaker 5: quickly learned, like most of us learn in life, that
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: there are no shortcuts.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: If you take shortcuts, you get cut short.
• 47:33
  Speaker 5: Can we flash back to what happened? What caused Felicity
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: to end up in prison? Let's go to ABC News
• 47:37
  Speaker 5: for the report.
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: Police actress Felicity Huffman walking out of court today but
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: not free of prison. The celebrity brushing past cameras with
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: husband and actor William H. Macy moments after she was
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: sentenced to fourteen days behind bars in front of the judge,
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: the prosecutor said most parents have the moral compass and
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: integrity not to step over the line.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: The defendant does not.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: After noting Huffman's fame and wealth several times, the prosecutor
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: said emphatically, there's no paparazzi in prison. Prison is the
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: great equalizer. She must go to prison. After pleading guilty
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: to fraud charges in May, Huffman admitted to paying fifteen
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: thousand dollars to have her daughter's SAT scores rigged. The
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: judge noting she apologized and accepted guilt early. Then the
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: sentence fourteen days in prison, thirty thousand dollars fine, one
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: year supervised release, and two hundred and fifty hours of
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: community service.
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: She paid fifteen thousand dollars to have someone falsified the
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: results of her daughter's SAT score. You know what I
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: wonder about this, and I probably could find the answer
• 48:44
  Speaker 5: if I can enough to look. Her daughter didn't know, right,
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: so I'm sure her daughter studied and prepared for the
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: SAT tests. What if her daughter would have passed on
• 48:54
  Speaker 5: her home marit was the falsifying of the results just
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: in case she failed. What lack of faith did she
• 48:59
  Speaker 5: having her daughter that she already knew. Let me go
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: ahead and pay for her to pass, because I know
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: she not too bright. Okay, I've been watching her since
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: she got here. I know she's stupid, all right. My
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: daughter going to live in the basement for the rest
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: of her life. If I'll do something, she might have
• 49:13
  Speaker 5: to join the circus or run for Congress, same difference.
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: Either way, she ends up being a clown as a child.
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: I would have all these questions for my mother if
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: she did this to me.
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: I appreciate you going above and beyond, mom, you know,
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: actually committing a crime for.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: Me to get ahead, But damn you don't.
• 49:29
  Speaker 5: Got no faith in my intelligence, okay, and my own
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: abilities to pass this as a tea test now. Felicity
• 49:35
  Speaker 5: Huffman recently sat with Eyewitness News to speak for the
• 49:38
  Speaker 5: first time about her participation in this scandal and why
• 49:41
  Speaker 5: she did it.
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: Let's go to ABC News for the report police.
• 49:43
  Speaker 14: When he slowly started to present the criminal scheme, it
• 49:49
  Speaker 14: seemed like, and I know this seems crazy at the time,
• 49:52
  Speaker 14: that that was my only option to give my daughter
• 49:55
  Speaker 14: a future. And I know hindsight is twenty twenty, but
• 49:58
  Speaker 14: it felt like I would be a bad mother if
• 50:01
  Speaker 14: I didn't do it.
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: So I did it.
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: Months later, the FBI was at her door.
• 50:07
  Speaker 14: They came into my home. They woke my daughters up
• 50:14
  Speaker 14: at gunpoint, again nothing new to the black and brown community.
• 50:18
  Speaker 14: Then they put my hands behind my back and hands.
• 50:21
  Speaker 14: We got to me and I asked if I could
• 50:22
  Speaker 14: get dressed, and I thought.
• 50:25
  Speaker 16: It was a hoax.
• 50:27
  Speaker 14: I literally turned to the one of the FBI people
• 50:29
  Speaker 14: in a flack jacket and a gun, and I went,
• 50:32
  Speaker 14: is this a is this a joke?
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: I felt like this was the only option to give
• 50:36
  Speaker 5: my daughter a future. Felicity Huffman's net worth is forty
• 50:42
  Speaker 5: five million dollars. Now, I am an habitual pocket watcher, Okay,
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: I like to know how much money people are making,
• 50:48
  Speaker 5: and I like to know how they're making it. As
• 50:50
  Speaker 5: soon as I heard her make these comments about this
• 50:52
  Speaker 5: was the only option to give my daughter a future,
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: I googled her network because I needed to know why
• 50:58
  Speaker 5: on God's green Earth would she feels like her daughter
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: doesn't have a chance at a future. This young woman
• 51:04
  Speaker 5: the privilege will have every single advantage that is provided
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: to a multimillionaire's daughter, especially a multimillionaire who also has
• 51:10
  Speaker 5: a complexion for the protection and connection.
• 51:13
  Speaker 3: Now, listen to me. She is taking penitentiary chances for.
• 51:16
  Speaker 5: Her daughter because she says she wants to give her
• 51:18
  Speaker 5: daughter a chance, you know, to have a future. If
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: an actress worth forty five million dollars is thinking like that,
• 51:25
  Speaker 5: how the hell do you not understand what people in
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: the hood are going through? Okay, folks from poor and
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: disenfranchised communities aren't even attempting to give their kids a
• 51:32
  Speaker 5: shot at a better future. He just trying to get
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: their kids an opportunity in the present moment, and that
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: opportunity is usually just the.
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: Basics, food, clothing, some shelter right now.
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: Okay, So when black and brown people are out here
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: doing what they got to do to survive, this system
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: should have some understanding, Okay, but they never do. They
• 51:48
  Speaker 5: throw black and brown people under the jail for much
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: less fourteen days and a fine.
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: For mail fraud. You know, mail fraud carries.
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: A sentence of twenty years in prison and you have
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: to pay a quarter million dollar fund and be required
• 52:01
  Speaker 5: to make full restitution. Like Felicity Huffman would have been
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: some sister from a black of brown community, she would
• 52:06
  Speaker 5: have gotten years years behind bars for doing what Felicity
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: Huffman did guaranteed. But let's talk about the bigger picture.
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: You know, how you set your kids up with opportunities
• 52:16
  Speaker 5: to succeed in the future. How do you set your
• 52:19
  Speaker 5: kids up with opportunities to succeed in the future by
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: not letting them skip steps?
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: Now, okay, letting them know that you cannot escape the process.
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: If your daughter takes the SAT and fails, then she
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: just fails study come back hard the next time.
• 52:32
  Speaker 3: That is what life is about.
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: We have to stop coddling these kids, especially in the
• 52:35
  Speaker 5: world where they go on social media and see everybody's
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: highlight reel. Nobody on social media is showing you the process.
• 52:41
  Speaker 5: They not showing you the times they failed, the time
• 52:44
  Speaker 5: things didn't go their way. I truly believe one of
• 52:46
  Speaker 5: the worst things about so called cancel culture is that
• 52:49
  Speaker 5: nobody wants to tell you about their mistakes anymore. Everybody
• 52:53
  Speaker 5: wants to play perfect and act like they've always gotten
• 52:55
  Speaker 5: it right. But guess what nobody has. Nobody is perfect.
• 52:59
  Speaker 5: We all make mistakes, We say wrong things, we do
• 53:01
  Speaker 5: wrong things. We fall, we get up, we learn, we grow,
• 53:03
  Speaker 5: we move on, we live and we thank God for
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: always giving us another chance. If we don't allow our
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: kids to fail and learn how to deal with failing,
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: then we are truly hindering their chances of being successful
• 53:16
  Speaker 5: in the future. Felicity, right now you have an opportunity
• 53:19
  Speaker 5: to teach your kid a tremendous lesson about failure because
• 53:21
  Speaker 5: you failed. But you can't let that failure define you.
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: You have to let it shape you. And right now
• 53:26
  Speaker 5: your daughter is watching you. The way you handle this
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: is how she is going to learn how to handle
• 53:30
  Speaker 5: failure in the future. And when it comes to stuff
• 53:33
  Speaker 5: like failing a test, please, it's just a test.
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: You fail, you take it over. Maya Angelou said it best.
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: Courage allows a successful woman to fail and learn powerful
• 53:43
  Speaker 5: lessons from the failure so that in the end she
• 53:45
  Speaker 5: didn't fail at all. Our greatest glory in life, kids,
• 53:48
  Speaker 5: is not in never failing, but in rising every time
• 53:53
  Speaker 5: we fail. Please let Chelsea handle Give Felicity Huffman the
• 53:57
  Speaker 5: biggest he huh hee ha hee ha.
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: That is way too much Dan Mayonnaise.
• 54:02
  Speaker 5: All right, how many stories we've heard of, you know,
• 54:06
  Speaker 5: sisters putting their kids in different area codes, are lying
• 54:10
  Speaker 5: about where they live so their kids can go to
• 54:12
  Speaker 5: better schools and then getting actual prison sentences. How can
• 54:17
  Speaker 5: you we not understand what they were trying to do
• 54:20
  Speaker 5: for their children with felicity. Help me get a slap
• 54:22
  Speaker 5: on the wrist for something that has a twenty year sentence.
• 54:24
  Speaker 3: You know why? Too much caught them mayonnaise?
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well thank you for that donkey.
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: Today the Breakfast Club, worry.
• 54:38
  Speaker 6: Everybody is tj env Charlamagne to God. We are the
• 54:41
  Speaker 6: Breakfast Club. Our guess co host Cardia Jordan is here, yes,
• 54:44
  Speaker 6: and we got a special guests in the billings to
• 54:46
  Speaker 6: Meeka Mallory. Welcome backy, Hey, hey having me.
• 54:50
  Speaker 18: I'm excited to be here.
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: Will Mallory. You got a lot of work that you're
• 54:54
  Speaker 3: doing right now. You gotta get the word out about
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: some things.
• 54:56
  Speaker 18: There's a lot happening. I think you know.
• 54:57
  Speaker 19: The overall thing that we need to know is that
• 55:00
  Speaker 19: our country is in big trouble and everyone everybody is
• 55:04
  Speaker 19: going to suffer as a result. But whenever we in trouble,
• 55:06
  Speaker 19: black folks, brown people, we suffer the most.
• 55:09
  Speaker 3: And tell them in a state of emergency, you got
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: your bok sitting right here.
• 55:13
  Speaker 19: It is a state of emergency indeed, and it's getting worse.
• 55:17
  Speaker 19: I mean, you and I talk about this all the time.
• 55:19
  Speaker 19: To me, it feels like it's getting worse. I think
• 55:21
  Speaker 19: also because a lot of people are so numb they
• 55:25
  Speaker 19: don't really want to focus anymore.
• 55:27
  Speaker 18: And that's dangerous because there's just too.
• 55:29
  Speaker 19: Many things to do, too much to know about, and
• 55:32
  Speaker 19: we just need to be well informed about what we're
• 55:35
  Speaker 19: up against. And I think that you know, being able
• 55:37
  Speaker 19: to call it what it is, that white supremacy, excuse me,
• 55:41
  Speaker 19: and white.
• 55:41
  Speaker 18: Vigilanteism is on the rise.
• 55:43
  Speaker 19: And of course we're dealing with issues within our own community,
• 55:46
  Speaker 19: with mental health problems and poverty, cause and violence. There
• 55:50
  Speaker 19: is a tension and a feeling in the country that
• 55:54
  Speaker 19: I'm sure you all feel, and it's really dangerous. It's
• 55:57
  Speaker 19: not a comfortable space. And you know, I don't think
• 55:59
  Speaker 19: it gets better. Are just by us ignoring the problem?
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: How do you think we get around this fatigue?
• 56:03
  Speaker 15: Because I do notice there was a fatigue, right It
• 56:05
  Speaker 15: seemed like we were all all hands on deck maybe
• 56:06
  Speaker 15: twenty twenty, in the height of all the George Floyd
• 56:09
  Speaker 15: protests and all that. Everybody seemed like, all right, we
• 56:11
  Speaker 15: on this and it seemed like everyone just kind of
• 56:14
  Speaker 15: fell off. Not everyone people, thank God for you, but
• 56:17
  Speaker 15: it seemed like there's a lot of fatigue right now,
• 56:19
  Speaker 15: Like people say, I'm tired of hearing about it, and
• 56:21
  Speaker 15: that's what people also.
• 56:22
  Speaker 19: First of all, movements always are up and down. They
• 56:25
  Speaker 19: never stay consistent at one pace. It's impossible. People have
• 56:29
  Speaker 19: to get back to their lives. Folks have families and
• 56:32
  Speaker 19: things that they have to do, so that's normal.
• 56:35
  Speaker 18: But there is a.
• 56:36
  Speaker 19: Fatigue that, unfortunately, I think doesn't change until people feel
• 56:40
  Speaker 19: so uncomfortable that they have no choice but to get
• 56:43
  Speaker 19: back in the game. And you know, we try to
• 56:46
  Speaker 19: continuously sound the alarm by making sure folks feel like
• 56:49
  Speaker 19: there's a way for them to fit in and get in,
• 56:52
  Speaker 19: but it's not until you start feeling it on your block,
• 56:55
  Speaker 19: in your home that is like, oh, wait a minute,
• 56:58
  Speaker 19: where's the where's the protest?
• 57:00
  Speaker 18: Who am I supposed to be voting for? You know
• 57:01
  Speaker 18: what am I supposed to do? To jump in the fight?
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: So let's let's start.
• 57:04
  Speaker 6: You know, a lot of people they don't necessarily run
• 57:07
  Speaker 6: because a lot of people don't know what's going on.
• 57:08
  Speaker 6: Like we get bombarded with so much in the news,
• 57:11
  Speaker 6: and half the time we don't know what's real or
• 57:13
  Speaker 6: what's fake, what's true, what's false. So what should we
• 57:15
  Speaker 6: be focusing on?
• 57:16
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: What are you focusing on?
• 57:17
  Speaker 19: Well, you know, I wrote these things down so that
• 57:21
  Speaker 19: you know, we could kind of break things into different parts.
• 57:24
  Speaker 19: You know, in the summer twenty twenty, since you brought
• 57:26
  Speaker 19: that up, a lot of corporations were talking about their
• 57:31
  Speaker 19: commitment to diversity.
• 57:32
  Speaker 18: That was the whole thing.
• 57:33
  Speaker 19: In fact, corporations made pledges for millions and millions, probably
• 57:38
  Speaker 19: billions of dollars, and certainly we've not seen that in
• 57:43
  Speaker 19: the movement and across all spectrums of areas where marginalized
• 57:47
  Speaker 19: communities need support, most companies have have either you know,
• 57:52
  Speaker 19: gone away, they you know, and what do you call it,
• 57:54
  Speaker 19: out of sight, out of mind. And then some did
• 57:57
  Speaker 19: a few things. And of course we can't ignore that
• 58:01
  Speaker 19: the recent news on Black Lives Matter has certainly helped
• 58:06
  Speaker 19: people find a way to say, oh, well, you know,
• 58:09
  Speaker 19: maybe I shouldn't be given to those causes, which you know,
• 58:13
  Speaker 19: we talk all the time about how I call bold
• 58:15
  Speaker 19: on a lot of it.
• 58:16
  Speaker 18: Nonetheless, it has been an issue.
• 58:18
  Speaker 19: It is an issue, and so one thing I have
• 58:21
  Speaker 19: been focused on is calling corporations back to the table.
• 58:25
  Speaker 19: And I've been working specifically on a company called Pinini.
• 58:27
  Speaker 19: And people are like, how did you get in sports
• 58:30
  Speaker 19: and trading cards? Sports memorabilia and trading cards? Like where
• 58:33
  Speaker 19: did that come from? But I always I often remind
• 58:36
  Speaker 19: people that every case we get involved with, we find
• 58:39
  Speaker 19: out from the people people call us. They call us
• 58:41
  Speaker 19: and say it's a police brutality incident, they say something
• 58:44
  Speaker 19: happened in the jail. That's how we got Imparchment Prisons
• 58:48
  Speaker 19: with shout out to our family at Rock Nation and
• 58:51
  Speaker 19: Team Rock because we worked to really make change in Parchment.
• 58:54
  Speaker 18: And I'm sure people in Parchment are probably like, what change.
• 58:57
  Speaker 19: You know, it's still slow coming, but we did work
• 59:00
  Speaker 19: with the local community in Mississippi to make some change there.
• 59:03
  Speaker 18: But this all comes from people calling.
• 59:05
  Speaker 19: Us elected officials, concerned citizens, scary folks. That's like, don't
• 59:09
  Speaker 19: tell nobody's mine. You know that I called, But somebody
• 59:13
  Speaker 19: hit me up and was like, hey, you should check
• 59:15
  Speaker 19: out what's going on at this company, Panini. They have
• 59:17
  Speaker 19: seventy five percent of their trading cards and their talent.
• 59:22
  Speaker 19: If you will black athletes back black and brown, but
• 59:25
  Speaker 19: primarily black athletes. A three billion dollar company with no
• 59:29
  Speaker 19: senior executives that are black people, not even one. So
• 59:34
  Speaker 19: when we found it out, we were like, okay, well,
• 59:35
  Speaker 19: first of all, maybe we don't know, maybe they just
• 59:37
  Speaker 19: didn't put them on the website. You know, we're gonna
• 59:39
  Speaker 19: see and we sent a letter to Paninia. It took
• 59:42
  Speaker 19: them a while to get back to us until it
• 59:45
  Speaker 19: started to pick up in the media, especially after we
• 59:48
  Speaker 19: sent letters to the NFL and the NBA and the
• 59:51
  Speaker 19: players associations and all the others, asking why are you
• 59:54
  Speaker 19: partnering with these folks who are allowing them to use
• 59:57
  Speaker 19: your talent? It's basically our people being exploited.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 5: Specific company though, because there's a bunch of billion dollar
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 5: companies that don't have black people in the c suite, So.
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 19: Why do this specific Coey, Well, you know, we've had
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 19: similar conversations over the years with Walmart, with Verizon, you know,
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 19: and in fact, with Verizon we went to them around
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 19: Colin Kaeperneck to ask them why would they continue to
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 19: sponsor and you know, be partners with the NFL knowing
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 19: what was happening in the Colin So we find reasons
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 19: to approach corporations all the time about their commitments or
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 19: their said commitments to our communities.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 18: And from my perspective, black folks.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 19: In this moment, they need jobs like they need jobs,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 19: they need opportunities, they need a seat at the table, right.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 19: And you know some people say, well entrepreneurship, Yeah, but
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 19: why you're building because all of us here are entrepreneurs.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 18: But we got jobs too.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 6: Dose Perini feel that since they've given so much money
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 6: away to students and especially college athletes. I know they
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 6: do a lot with nil deals that because they're doing that,
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 6: they necessarily don't have to because they feel like we're
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 6: giving the community money.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 19: Well they didn't say that, but from our perspective, no,
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 19: like at until Freedom, our perspective is regardless of how
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 19: much you give away, you just doing what you're supposed
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 19: to do.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 15: So what kind of action plans would you like to
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 15: see Panini do to correct this like lack of diversity.
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 18: What would you like to see it?
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 19: Yeah, So, first of all, they need to have an
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 19: advisory committee of individuals from our communities that can help
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 19: them look at the diversity issues.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 15: It's actually been amazing the dip and what we see,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 15: like I really felt like there was actually some type
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 15: of effort being made. Seems like they're not even given
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 15: a damn anymore when it looks like publicly anymore.
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 19: Well, just on that point, when we did the research
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 19: to find at every company, we sent letters by companies
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 19: I'm talking about the leagues and the players Association is
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 19: we sent letters to the CEO. We also went to
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 19: look for the diversity person, right because most companies have somebody,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 19: and we.
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 18: Found that most of those people were hired in twenty twenty.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 19: Like all the different leagues, their diversity person came on
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 19: board or around twenty twenty and was well celebrated by
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 19: the company.
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 18: So that just goes to show you that movements work.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 19: That's first of all that you know, for those people
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 19: who think movements don't work, it actually provided opportunities for
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 19: some of our people. And I'm sure depending on who
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 19: the black person is in that seat, there's more happening
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 19: within the community. But there's so much more that can
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 19: be done. And that means that the movement can't stop
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 19: because the job is not complete.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 6: Are people getting getting to actually be able to work
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 6: or is it one of those things that we're hiring
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 6: them just for the face, but they're not actually being
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 6: able to contribute.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 19: Well, you know what, I don't know, and I'm sure
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 19: there is a little bit of all of that happening,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 19: you know, because I know several diversity folks in different
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 19: companies and some of them are frustrated. Others feel like
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 19: they're really being supported. So I think it's a mixture
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 19: of that, but we don't know until unfortunately issues start
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 19: to come up and you start asking questions.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 18: That's the reason why we have to have different examples.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 19: So Panini becomes an example which says to other companies,
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 19: they might be coming my way, let me try to
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 19: get my stuff together.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: All right. We got more with Tamika Mallory when we
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: come back, don't move. It's the breakfast Club. Good morning,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: good morning. Everybody is TJ NV charlamagnea god. We are
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: the Breakfast Club.
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 6: We got our co host Clodia Jordan here and we're
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 6: kicking it with Tamika Mallory.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: Clodia, you're on the front lines.
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 15: Do you ever get discouraged?
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 8: Hell?
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and do you feel like what am I doing?
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 19: I get more than discourage. I get pretty nasty about it.
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 19: I send text messages in the middle.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 18: Of the night, saying words, bad words.
• 1:03:35
  Speaker 15: So where's the motivation come from on those days when
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 15: you know, we see the winds right, But there's the
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 15: days where you probably I.
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 18: Don't know about the winds. Well, Whens, I'm.
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 19: Not progress, progress, A little bit of progress, a little
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 19: bit of progress because wins, I don't feel like I'm
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 19: there yet, you know, Andy, you know whatever. Some people
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 19: would argue that we should be careful not to appreciate
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 19: the things we've been able to accomplish, in which we
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 19: have many things. But I think my I always say
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 19: that my investment in this movement is very selfish. It's
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 19: not like, oh, I'm doing it because of the other
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 19: children and the other people. It's my own family. Like me,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 19: you know, I want to be able to drive and
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 19: feel comfortable and walk around in society and not be
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 19: treated differently or othered. I want my son to be protected.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 19: And now I have a grandchild, you know, and here
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 19: this is a young girl or a baby who's going
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 19: to grow up in this society.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 18: What is it going to look like?
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 19: I don't want to leave here with people saying like, well,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 19: what did you do to contribute? And I'm over here
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 19: pointing at oh, well they did. No, we have a responsibility.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 19: And I think that's where every you know, when I
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 19: get up and some days Claudia's turned into a situation
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 19: where I go to bed like, I promise you, I
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 19: will not do else for these people because of all
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 19: the stress that I go through, the attacks, the lies,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 19: this and that. I'd be like, that's it, and then
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 19: I'll be like, which people our people? Like In the morning,
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 19: when I wake up, I'm like, let me go to work,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 19: because this is what I'm supposed to be doing. Calling
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 19: on your life is something.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: Talk to us about a Jica Owns boy. I tell
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 3: you what.
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 19: I was on a conference call last night with Angela
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 19: Rye and Amanda SIL's and I mean, Alicia Garza, Ben Crump, everybody,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 19: Jeff Johnson, the names go on and on, all the people,
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 19: Christy Henderson.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 18: It was the coordinator of it and first of all,
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 18: the brilliance in this movement. Oh wow, to be on
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 18: that call, I just.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 19: Wish it could be taped so everybody could see the
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 19: thoughts and people working together to try to help get
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 19: justice for this woman's family. What happened to her is
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 19: it seems to be very clear. At least it's clear
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 19: to me, and you know, Crump before he gets an attorney, Crump,
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 19: before he gets involved in things, he kind of knows
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 19: what happened for the most part. So it appears that
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 19: the neighbor was a minace already like she had been her.
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 6: Gave the lady donk of to day to her. Yes, no, no, no,
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 6: talked about it this morning.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 19: So it seems that she had already been harassing the
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 19: children and people in the community. And this particular day,
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 19: the kids were playing next door, which you guys probably
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 19: already discussed. But you know, the kids were playing next
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 19: door in a field, and she thinks she owns the field,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 19: so she's neighborhood Karen. She thinks she owns the field.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 19: She tells them when to come and go. The iPad
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 19: was still in the field when the young man noticed it,
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 19: and all the kids were inside. He noticed his iPad
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 19: was there. He ran out to go get it. She
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 19: already had it somewhere along the line. She He approached
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 19: her to get the iPad and he she hit him
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 19: with something so uh his and.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 18: Called him the N word.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 19: Well, this young man, the young boy is nine, and
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 19: this and and and aj as they affectionately call her
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 19: aj Owens. She has four children and so I think
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 19: the youngest one is too and so uh she So
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 19: he went and got mama, and mama came back to
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 19: talk to the woman. Get the iPad probably asked, you
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 19: know what, why did you get my child? All of that,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 19: and the woman shot her through the door, shot her
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 19: through the door and killed to I mean period, you know,
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 19: and to add insult to injury, which is very similar
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 19: to what happened to Jordan Nearly, or at least what
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 19: happened to Daniel Perry, the man who killed Jordan Nearly.
• 1:07:30
  Speaker 18: Is this this thing where you can just go down
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 18: to the precinct.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 19: They asked you a few questions and then you just
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 19: white and they say, okay, you can go home after
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 19: you've killed somebody.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 15: It is amazing that they It's like, do you mind
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 15: coming in, and.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 19: Yeah, we just want to ask formal Well, yeah, they
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 19: didn't release her name, but we know what it is.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 19: Her name is Susan Lawrence. I believe that's her name,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 19: Susan Lawrence. And you know, again, people in the neighborhood
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 19: know her. But let me just say on the issue
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 19: of people getting to go home.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: Did she called nine one one at all? So she
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 1: didn't call nine one until after she shot this.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 18: I don't know that's a good question because you know, usually.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 1: A self defense and if the door was closed, there
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 1: was no way that she felt like her life was in.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 19: Dangerous that I mean, you got to come on your ground.
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 19: Of course, it's a lot of things that I think
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 19: they're gonna try to use. I think they're gonna have
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 19: a mental illness thing. They're gonna try a lot of things.
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 15: But people that are allowed to be mentally ill because
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 15: it's with us, we don't get that, grace.
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: No, we don't.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 18: But let me say that.
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 19: One of the things I want to make sure we
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 19: mentioned is that this is not a new issue or
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 19: new concern. If you think about Emmett Till and other
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 19: cases of the past, there was a time when white
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 19: people could literally decide that you made them feel uncomfortable,
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 19: or you you committed some criminal act. They didn't have
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 19: to be in law enforcement. They could decide your punishment,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 19: kill you, whatever they want to do, and there was
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 19: no quinces for it. So we're going backwards to a
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 19: time when that is now a thing again that you
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 19: just gone downtown to tell Billy Bob, officer Billy Bob,
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 19: everything was cool.
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 18: You know, I just shot me today.
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 16: That's it.
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 19: And and of course I hope we understand not to
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 19: say that it is okay when it happens to men,
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 19: because we fight for black men all the time.
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 18: Our entire movement has been focused on black men.
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 19: But now they're killing black women, which brings us to
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 19: Brianna Taylor. Shout out to Brianna Taylor and her family.
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 19: Look happy birthday. She would have been thirty years old.
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 19: Man thirty years old, a young, beautiful life, taking her
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 19: boyfriend Kenny Walker. Thankfully, the charges that the officer had
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 19: against him have been dropped, so he's now free and
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 19: clear to live his life.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 18: But yesterday, yesterday, I don't know when.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 3: That's the case. Was standing ground worked for a black person? Right?
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 5: What?
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: Oh?
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 1: Right?
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 18: Well yes, kinda yes, and yes, yes they charged them,
• 1:10:03
  Speaker 18: but they dropped it. They never admitted it. That's the point.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 19: Nobody ever said that he had the right to do
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 19: what he did or whatever, but he did right. And
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 19: I think that they dropped the charges for a different reason,
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 19: which is because they don't want to have to go
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 19: to court and lay out the details. They're trying to
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 19: push it, you know, sweep it under the rugs. It
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 19: would make them have to do too much. So but anyway,
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 19: so the attorney general in Kentucky, y'all talked about this.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 19: His name is Daniel Cameron. This man was responsible for
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 19: the prosecution of the officers. He was responsible for finding
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 19: justice right as the attorney general. Because the local government
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 19: decided that they didn't want to try the case. It
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 19: was too close with the police department and the local
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 19: DA's and whatever, so they pushed it to the attorney general.
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 18: First of all, Daniel Cameron is a cop lover.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 19: He has videos out there talking by how he will
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 19: defend police and law enforcement until the end and he
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 19: will do whatever's necessary to stand with police. So he
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 19: had the case and had a grand jury in paneled,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 19: which they went and they presented a case to the
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 19: grand jury, of course, and which is what we fight against.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 19: The grand jury proceedings being secret. That's a problem because
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 19: you don't know what's happening. You don't know what they're
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 19: presenting with the witnesses or what's gonna happen. So the
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 19: grand jury comes back and returns their decision, which is
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 19: to charge one officer which shooting through the wall and
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 19: that could have hurt.
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 18: The people on the other side.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 19: It didn't, but it could have, and so that charge
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 19: was called wanting endangerment and that's what the person was
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 19: indicted on. They never came back with any charges about
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 19: Brionna Taylor being murdered. We're about to knock on doors
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 19: until November. We're going to put ads up on TV.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 19: We're gonna make sure that every Ballotti, Dottie and everybody
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 19: knows about Daniel Cameron and what he did to Breonna Taylsor.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 1: All right, when we come back, we have moved with
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 1: Tamika Mallory.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 3: Don't move.
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 1: It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning, the Breakfast Club. Yeah
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 1: morning everybody.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 6: It's the ej NV Charlamagne the guy. We are the
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 6: Breakfast Club. We got our co host Claudia and Jordan
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 6: here and we're kicking it with Tamika Mallory Charlamagne.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 5: How do you protect yourself in situations like the go
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 5: post up in Kentucky and like go against this guy
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 5: who's got a massive support in Kentucky.
• 1:12:27
  Speaker 3: How you protect yourself?
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 19: Well, first of all, We have security twenty four hours
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 19: a day, which is important, but you know, security is
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 19: not necessarily able to stop some crazy person from driving
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 19: a car through the window of your office or whatever.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 3: So are y'all being set up? You know what I mean?
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 16: That's oh like that.
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 19: But but but but before we even get to the
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 19: point of physical harm. Watching just watch, You're gonna be like,
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 19: you gotta come back and talk about this. They're gonna
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 19: have articles out in a minute about everything we ever
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 19: did wrong. Who paperwork, ain't right, organization did this, Which
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 19: is why I don't like to get into a back
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 19: and forth about whether or not somebody bought a house
• 1:13:08
  Speaker 19: in BLM. I don't like to get into that because
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 19: I know what that conversation is all about, and I
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 19: know who it benefits for us to get stuck in that.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 19: They want to discredit our movement so that they can
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 19: make sure that nobody that nobody donates to Tamika Mallory
• 1:13:23
  Speaker 19: either we all criminals. I'm not, of course I'm not.
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 19: We said that on this show so many times, but
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 19: you're right, repetition matters. I'm not in the organization Black
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 19: Lives Matter, but I'm just saying that I've seen this
• 1:13:40
  Speaker 19: movie before.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 18: This is not the first time.
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 19: They they don't They actually don't do anything new. They
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 19: repeat the same script over and over again. It's just
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 19: that there are new players involved, so you think you
• 1:13:52
  Speaker 19: in something new, But they literally have intentionality right now
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 19: around discredit and our movement. It doesn't mean you shouldn't
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 19: ask questions. There should be no accountability, that's not what
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 19: we're talking about. But when we start going down that
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 19: rabbit hole, there's a reason why they want us to
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 19: stay there. And so what will happen is that in
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 19: the next couple of weeks, especially if Daniel Cameron feels
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 19: like our movement is a danger to him, you'll start
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 19: hearing who slept with who? Johnny you know, shot somebody
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 19: when he was twelve, who went to prison. That's what
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 19: they're gonna do, to try to discredit the people locally
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 19: and nationally who will be there fighting him.
• 1:14:31
  Speaker 18: But we disfight it all, dispight it all. We're gonna
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 18: be there. We have to stop eating that up there.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: We're so quick.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 15: But I knew it was a scam, and we have
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 15: to stop being so skeptical of each other. Yep, Yes,
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 15: I saw that happening in really, I'm like, oh, like.
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 19: But there are scams. There are scams, and guess what,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 19: white people run them every day.
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 1: That's right, But they don't we do something.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 19: No, no, you'll never, you will never. Like I give
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 19: you an example. The Women's movement, right, they got all kinds.
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 19: I know, we were in it, right and the Women's
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 19: March we was in, We were leaders of the Women's March.
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 19: We know all about the stuff that goes on internally,
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 19: but you don't know who's about people's salaries. You don't
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 19: know how much they make in these major women's organizations
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 19: and other organizations that had or social cause, organizations that
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 19: have people that don't look like us.
• 1:15:32
  Speaker 18: You tell me what's they salaries? It doesn't come up.
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 19: You don't know what house they have, where they live,
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 19: how much money they spent, and if there.
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 18: Is an issue, they deal with it internally.
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 19: When it became public that there was a fight which
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 19: wasn't even about money, it was because it was women
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 19: of color at the helm of it.
• 1:15:52
  Speaker 18: So we just have to be aware of that.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 19: That does not mean that you don't have the right
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 19: to say I gave one hundred dollars two hundred thousand
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 19: and whatever it is, and I want to know what
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 19: is being done with my resources. I'm not telling people
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 19: not to ask those questions. I'm saying that what we
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 19: see going on right now is not about asking questions.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 19: It is about creating a creating a dissension campaign or
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 19: whatever against our movement as a whole. And yeah, I'm
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 19: not in BLM at all. I have none to do
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 19: with the money, never received the dime. In fact, i
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 19: asked them for a million dollars and I'm still waiting
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 19: on somebody to respond, So this is not about that.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 18: But I'm also I also am clear that I.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 19: Don't get to separate myself from this whole movement because
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 19: I know I only raise My organization raised three three
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 19: million dollars when BLM received ninety million. So that's why
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 19: we asked for a million, which is not even enough.
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 19: Because we was in the street in the summer of
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 19: twenty twenty, and we know that people went on their
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 19: phone and said, I'm not gonna look for a particular name,
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 19: I'm just gonna give money to BLM. So I feel
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 19: they owe me money, right, I think they have some
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 19: of my money. So we asked for a million dollars.
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 19: But I understand that this movement, everything that happens there
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 19: are implications for all of us. If something happen with you, Envy,
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 19: I've been watching you for the last few days.
• 1:17:20
  Speaker 1: I talk to you.
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 18: You know what I'm saying. It impacts everybody that's close
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 18: to you. That's just what it is.
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 19: So I just want to put that message out there.
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 19: Be careful what you allow yourself to get dragged into.
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 1: How can people donate if they want to donate.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 18: Yiah, we need y'all to donate so bad, Lord have mercy.
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 19: You can donate to until Freedom by going to until
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 19: freedom dot com, which is the safest best way to
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 19: get us donations. But of course if you want to
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 19: cash up and bendmo and all of that, we're until
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 19: Freedom spell it properly because people have stolen our stole
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 19: whichever is the right way to say our name, colonize
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 19: our name, and they put one extra E one the
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 19: ls or whatever, and so a lot of our donations
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 19: were going to these other accounts.
• 1:18:06
  Speaker 18: So Until Freedom U N T, I, L F R,
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 18: E E, D O M on all platforms you.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: Can give and did we get everything on the note pay?
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 19: I think so let me see, Oh, copp City. So
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 19: cop City, for folks quickly, is in Atlanta. Basically, cop
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 19: City is a place that is being designed to train
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 19: police officers from around the country. So in Decab County,
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 19: Andre Dickens, the mayor, is creating a city. And by
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 19: the way, people want me to mention that this was
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 19: not his plan. It came from Governor Kemp and Keisha
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 19: Land's bottoms and then he had the ability to keep
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 19: it going or to cancel the project. So they are
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 19: building this facility. That is what they're gonna say. It's
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 19: all first responders. There's gonna be people there from you know, firefighters,
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 19: they're gonna have There's an element that cannot be ignored
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 19: and that is the police training that will take place
• 1:19:02
  Speaker 19: in the facility, and that is a problem. The Police Association,
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 19: I think that's their name. Excuse me if I got
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 19: it wrong. They are the ones that's coordinating the whole space.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 19: And so the basically the resources that the city council
• 1:19:18
  Speaker 19: approved are to lease space for the responders and others
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 19: to be trained. But the policing situation is the main
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 19: focus of the facility. Bottom go well, because people elected officials,
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 19: they get nervous, and so when they start feeling the
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 19: pressure from the governor and all these people, because a
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 19: lot of our folks don't understand what true public safety
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 19: looks like. We've been taught that public safety is locking
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 19: people up, but.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 18: The police exists.
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 19: Now there's police all over Chicago and still there was
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 19: fifty something people shot Memorial weekend. So policing is clearly
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 19: not solving the problem. So we see what needs to
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 19: be done, and it is.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 1:20:02
  Speaker 19: It is intentionally being ignored and they are fattening the
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 19: pockets of the policing system and then not even giving
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 19: true accountability measures to keep people account accountable. You cannot
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 19: train racism and white supremacy. You can't out train it.
• 1:20:19
  Speaker 19: You have to convict it. You have to lock it up,
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 19: and you have to give it consequences so that people
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 19: will know.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 18: I could be as racist as I wants at my
• 1:20:27
  Speaker 18: kitchen table, but I can't take that to work.
• 1:20:30
