  Speaker 2: Hey, you know my clothes. Remarks about this past weekend.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I went to Academy Sports. Really really nice people in
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: Academy Sports, and.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: It was all it was a day.
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: It was July third that I went on a Friday,
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: and I was actually walking through. The people were really nice.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: I'd never been there at that Academy Sports, so they were
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: real happy to have me, to say the least. But
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: they were nice, very helpful people. Man, had a nice
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: time walking around and they bought a few things. And
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I was leaving and the store manager said, hey, mister Harvey,
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: thank you for picking our store at the shop, I
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: said thank you. He said, hey, man, have a happy fourth.
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I said, okay. And then there was another guy right
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: before I was just saying, hey, mister Harvey, happy fourth
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: at July. And then I went to my truck to
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: get in my te bet. This black dude, he's a man.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: It's an honor to meet you.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Man.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: Hey, man happy the July and it was just happening everywhere,
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: and it was I kept thinking of how nice people
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: were to say that, but I couldn't return it to
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: them because that's not what I do. I've never really
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: celebrated the fourth of July ever. I've never understood what
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: the celebration was for. I understand it's supposed to be
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: for the birth and the independence of this nation, but
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: it's just been too many times that I haven't feeled.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I don't get to feel the freedom, I don't get
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: to partake in the constitution. That constitution has been flawed
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: for me the entire time I've been here. And I
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: know a lot of people feel the same way that constitution.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: Forty one of the men who wrote that Constitution were
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: slave owners. I'm just not understanding, you know. I mean,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: I'm understanding it. I get it. You know that's what
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: you were. But it's too many times that I don't
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: feel a part of it. And even now, man, it
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: has gotten even worse for me because this is the
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: two hundred and fiftieth celebration of this nation.
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: And congratulations. You know. I now here's one thing I do.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I respect your I respect the flag to the point
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: where I respect the men and women who put the
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: uniforms on to protect the freedom of that country. I
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: respect and I really stand for those who put that
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: uniform on, who left home and didn't come back. So
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: I have the highest level of respect for these people.
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: So understand that. And after that, that's where it stops
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: for me, because after that, I have been in a
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: constant battle. My sixty nine years has been an the
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: constant battle of trying to be a part of an
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: America that don't seem to want me to be a
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: part of it. I grew up in Welch, West Virginia.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: I saw colored only water fountains. I saw colored only restrooms.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: I saw Kresky's downtown where blacks couldn't sit at this
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: lunch counters.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: I saw all of this. I saw all of it.
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: And then today I watched two hundred and fifty white nationalists,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: a white supremacist group, march on Washington, DC. I watched
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: that solo picture of that black woman sitting on that bus,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: surrounded by all that hate, and how I.
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: Only felt one thing.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: I wish I was on that bus, not to fight,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: because I can't whit Forty fifty men on no bus.
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: I just wanted to sit on the train. I just
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: wanted to sit.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Next to her and say, hey, it's okay, you ain't
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: by yourself. That's all I felt for that picture. But
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: why I got to feel that? And now we have
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: an administration that keeps and here's a part that keeps
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: throwing me. Man, this whole slogan when he ran or
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: make America great Again. We were wondering from the very beginning,
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: make America great again for who? When we steady been
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: fighting to get our fair share? When has it ever
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: been great? And now we see exactly what they mean
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: by make America great again? The Civil Rights Voting Act
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: of nineteen sixty four. They want to do away with it,
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Row versus Wade. They want to do away with it.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: They want to do away with any statues and museums
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: that timplify, that exemplify, glorify, or remind them of slavery.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: They want to get rid of black history and books.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: They want to stop teaching it in schools. They want
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: to remove anything that reminds them of who their forefathers are,
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: because it also shows them who they are. If you're
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: trying to do the same thing, you know, better off
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: than them. So this whole make America Great Again, This
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: whole administration, everything they do is designed to put somebody down.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: We sitting up in here, we making budget cuts and
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: all this here you were killing veterans' rights. We thought
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: DEI was supposed to kill just black people. Oh, but
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: you forgot DI affected white women. VII affected veterans' rights,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: DEI affected disabled people. You just keep forgetting, man, And
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: we keep allowing this administration to just do what they
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: want to do. And we sit here, man, where is
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: the decency? And now we've allowed them to redefine decency.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: You're not changing my definition of decency because you're the
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: president and this is what you're doing now, I'm just watching.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Do you know, man, that snap benefits have been cut?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Do you know seven hundred thousand children are going to
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: go hungry because they won't have the lunch programs and
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: the benefit for food that there used to be. What
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: does make America great again have to do with stopping
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: seven hundred thousand children from eating? Help me, man, So
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: while y'all celebrate America, go ahead, but we ain't found
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: nothing to celebrate yet.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: We just haven't.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: We've made the best of it. But now we're fighting
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: uphill again. We're still in the same fight we've been
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: in since night, since I was born. I'm just growing
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: a little.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Tired of it.
• 6:37
