  Speaker 4: speak for myself. Really say to Africa or the countries
• 9:02

  Speaker 4: in New York. Initially I was thinking Atlanta and then
• 9:08
  Speaker 4: I went to Atlanta. I was like, oh, and Atlanta
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: is basically New York now, so they're talking about Houston.
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: This is years ago as I was going through the
• 9:14
  Speaker 4: process of I'm actually, damn, I'm about to retire soon
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: whole ship. I need to figure out what I'm gonna
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: do where I'm about property at what I'm gonna do.
• 9:21
  Speaker 4: And I was like, but why do we always think America?
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: Why is it that I want to move to somebody else,
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: somewhere else here? Why do I just go explore the world,
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: go experience a different country? And then why do all
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: people always go to say dr Greece, uh, London, Paris.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: You I'm saying, like, we go to all these places,
• 9:44
  Speaker 4: but how many times have we been to a country
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: in Africa?
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: And so That's why I'm asking the questions. But yeah,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: somebody saw that a couple of days ago. It's media the.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Way it's marketed. Like I said, like, very very very
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: very very early on, bro, how you been in Africa countries?
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: And never would you go, Yeah, do you have one
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: particular that you want to go to I'd like to
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: see Ghana right because the height off the name and
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: the Ghana and the culture and everything and everything that's
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: been built around it. Ghana, Ghana, Ghana, Ghana. I'd love
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: to go there and visit it.
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: Per She was like, Yo, Nigga, if you go over this.
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: So I was at a parade. I worked for sanitation.

• 10:29
  Speaker 4: home and send send it. I'm rich in Senegal.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: That money goes a long way. Our US dollar goes
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: a long way in a lot of these countries. Bro.
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: Yeah, you could take fifty grand of Colombia and live
• 10:40
  Speaker 5: like a king. Take fifty granded Thailand and live like
• 10:43
  Speaker 5: a king.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Definitely, three dollars for your meal.
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: They got penthouses for seven hundred a month. I've I've
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: seen it Google right.
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: Now nuts a lot of black people in Thailand. I
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: think more black people are now more. Why don't we
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: do that Asian Asian? I think we only go to
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: the places that we see like on TV and ship
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: and you know, movies and ship. I feel like that's
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: when we hear it in like music or movies or
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: music and movies and ship, that's where we gravitate to.
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: Like it's like you said, Ghana, we go to the
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: place that we hear as opposed to the places that
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: so we see. Okay, Ghana, Yeah, but there's fifty something
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: other countries exactly in Africa, and most times to Africa
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: they say Africa. Yeah, they say they're going to Africa,
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: but it's like nobody says I want to go to
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: North America.
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah. That's why.
• 11:29
  Speaker 4: That's why I like that that constant thing that he
• 11:31
  Speaker 4: did at to Africa, because he showed a lot of
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: pieces of Africa that I never seen or heard of.
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: But I was like, this is some ship that I
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: would go to, but I would have never knew that,
• 11:38
  Speaker 4: I would have never seen that. How do you feel
• 11:40
  Speaker 4: you your your ethnicity is Africa When we have these conversations,
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: do you kind of get like a does you hear
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: in the back of your next day stand up?
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: Like? What are y'all about to say that? Nothing to
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: kissed me off?
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: Not necessarily say you could. I'm really good at constructive criticism,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: extremely good, But I don't think that's it. It could
• 11:56
  Speaker 3: be more ignorant, correct, than I'll educate you. So you know,
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: I to educate people who don't know about the country,
• 12:02
  Speaker 3: who doesn't know. Why is it that when there's always doomsday,
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: everybody'll be like, we're going to the motherland. You ever
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: realize that everybody always sys we're going to the motherland.
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: There's a reason Africa is rich in natural resources. It's
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: just a proven fact. At any given time, you could
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: you can live in Africa without all the catastrophical things
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: you would need in America. It's so simple. Now what
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: I retired in Africa now, no, maybe later because it's
• 12:33
  Speaker 3: a different way of living. It's still nice though. My
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: dad is pampered, you know, it's like really pampered. So
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: he moved back there. He retired at the age of

  Speaker 4: I knew, you know, did y'all hear my dammies Nick speech, Beach.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: I didn't hear all of it. It was a great speech, but.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: I heard it was really good. I heard it was powerful.
• 14:43
  Speaker 5: It was a great speech. He named Nick plays that
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: I forgot was even on the Knicks.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, it was a great speech, and he spit it.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: It was a great speech. Spit it right if you
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: practice anything to Jared Jeffries said, yeah, I said by
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: in jest.
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: That shit was better than I have a dream speech.
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: You're going come deep in jest, and it's gone too far,
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: too deep. They've gone too farth is. He looked at
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: you like nigga what it was? It was so gold,
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: it was so dope, and I wondered, let me, let
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: me hold on me hit this nigga mouse recording recording
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: all he's going to the party. It reminded me of Obama,
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: the way mom Donnie presents the way he speaks to
• 15:38
  Speaker 4: the people. It's just there's a pride about people that
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: speak to us in our culture, right, and we can
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: just see them like, Yo, that's a black man, or
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: that's somebody that understands us. Who do you think, first
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: of all, real quick, who do you think gives better speeches?
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Obama? When Donnie? What do you think? Real quick?
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Who Obama's speech games?
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: What's the hype of mom Donnie? Though?
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: What do you mean that's a good that's a good question,
• 16:01
  Speaker 5: like honestly speaking, like, what's the hype of mom Donnie?
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: Is he really helping black people? I think as far
• 16:09
  Speaker 5: as I'm concerned.
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: And it's funny because I tweeted something I said, Mom
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: Donnie is doing what people wish Obama would have done.
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Obama, Mom Donnie is doing what sounds good? Is that true? Mam?
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: Donnie is doing.
• 16:22
  Speaker 5: What most every day, low volume black Americans would like
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: to hear. But is he really helping black people?
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: For I don't think Mom Donnie's black.
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: He's not black, He's not I think Donnie is black
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: by association. He's a black man. He's not a white man.
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: All right, cool, but he has his own ethnicity and culture, right,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: he's an Indian man, or did you come from Indian?
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: De center have to be black and white. There's colors
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: and spectrums.
• 16:47
  Speaker 4: It does, and he can be proud of where he
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: is and still align with black values, black coaches and
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: say yo, or with marginalized people across the board.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: He can still align with that.
• 16:59
  Speaker 4: Now you asked me a question, allow me to answer
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: it real quick from my perspective, because I want to
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: hear yours as well. Right when I said that, people
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: are like what Obama did. Man, shit, he can't do
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: the same thing as mom Domie. He's a mayor, he's
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: a president. It's apples and oranges. I think what I said,
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: what I meant. What I said was that mom Domi
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: speaks to marginalized communities and bucks the system. He doesn't
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: play the politics game. First, he says, I want to speak.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: I want to do for people that have been not
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: been being done for before. I want to do things
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: in a way that is what's right, not for what's
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: gonna make me a better politician, or make me my
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: lobbyist happy, or make the people that's gonna vote for
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: me again, or push me up in the system. This
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: is what I do know, fucker said, I don't want
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: to be president. So all that y'all thinking, y'all gonna
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: buy me out for what I want later ain't gonna
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: happen because I don't even want go nowhere else. I
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: think that's what black people wanted from Obama, and I
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: think Obama, first of all, couldn't play that game. I'm like,
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: this is not me shooting at Obama. I don't think
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: that he looked at it like, Yo, I'm just gonna
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: help these marginalized communities. And I'm a fucked the rest
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: because I think that's what Mom Donnie's really doing. He's like,
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: fuck rich people, fuck politicians, fuck Trump, fuck everybody, all
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: these people that haven't been getting they just do.
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna help you out right now. That's what he's
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: that's what he's marketing on. And we've seen it. Bro
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: given thirty five hours an hour to them people. They
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: have no money. I work sentation.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: We had thirty people in every garage is getting thirty
• 18:37
  Speaker 4: five hours an hour just to wipe the snow, versus
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: getting some company from fucking Baltimore to come in and
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: do it. No, you stand in the corner over there,
• 18:46

• 18:55
  Speaker 2: No way, that's a good point. No way, they're not
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: seeing that. I respect that. You understand what I'm saying.
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: The landlord situation.
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: You know how many landlords is scrambling right now, especially
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: in apartment buildings, scrambling They actually out going from building.
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: A building, what are your violations? Talking to the people
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: in the building.
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: And he's making his officials do it, and he has
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: his other officials on the top of them, checking them
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: to make sure that they're doing it. The construction shit,
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: Oh you got this scaffolding up and it's just here
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: so you don't get fined. No, if it's been here

  Speaker 4: for long and it's fucking up the way this block looks,
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: and you're not doing what we're finding you. We're finding you.
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: Every time I see a scaffolding, I want to see
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: the breakdown. How long this shit has been, When is
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: the work that's being done, and when it's supposed to
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: be done. Yeah, Yo, it's just it feels like a
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: man of the peoples in the joint. So's I understand
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: what you're saying about black people, and I agree. I'm
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: not for black costs. I'm not saying he's not doing
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: for black people.
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: I thought that's what you said. You know what I'm saying.
• 19:48
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, what is he doing for black people? Yes,
• 19:50
  Speaker 5: he's doing for black people, yes on paper, right, but
• 19:54
  Speaker 5: tell me this, right, do you want me to give
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: you the fish or doing me to show you where
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: you get the fish from?
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: I don't know what the fun you're talking about exactly.
• 20:05
  Speaker 5: So as far as like I thought about it, so
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: so so so as far as like, Okay, he's doing
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: all of these things what to keep us in these environments, right,
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: to keep us happy in these environments?
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: Right? And why the project is this? To that, to this,
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: all of that.
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: He's doing those things to make them better while we're there,
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: which is fine. It's nothing wrong with making an environment
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: better while you're living there, right, But how do we
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: get away from there?
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: What is that? The may is y'all? It can be hell,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 20:40
  Speaker 5: I'm I'm I'm not the mayor, but I'm saying it
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: depends what you're marketing on, right, like, so, for example,
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: if he can say, like, okay, cool, which is fine,
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: it's a beautiful thing. The with with the with the
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: tenants and the buildings in et cetera, et cetera are cool,
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: But what about the programs for those people in those
• 20:56
  Speaker 5: programs to get out the projects?
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Because that's the gold.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: Oh just though we're not just talking about project. We
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: talking about average apartment buildings where I might be paying
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: thirty two hundred the month it is and my water on.
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: Whatever it is. But we all know he's in the
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: windows project. He focuses on.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: The landlords are are literally benefiting off of all of
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: this money that they're getting and they're not putting back.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: In understandable but but but but the real, but the
• 21:16
  Speaker 5: real bolts and ship to it is his main ship
• 21:19
  Speaker 5: is the New York City House and Authority program. That's
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: that's where like the main that's not his focus. That's
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: that's that's that's in connect type shit. That's like ny
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: The NYC CH is pretty much on the pros, right,
• 21:30
  Speaker 5: That's that's pretty much all the projects in the absolutely
• 21:33
  Speaker 5: in housing you know, I mean Brooklyn Queens my hand,
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: whatever you want to call it.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: But that's not his main focus though.
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: No, but when he speaks to that, he knows that's
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: what he's speaking to, because those are the buildings with
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: the real most worst upkeep. You get what I'm saying,
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: All those private other buildings that they're remodeling and that
• 21:49
  Speaker 5: they're building day to day. You're paying twenty five hundred
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: a month, thirty five hundred a month. Those buildings are
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: not that bad.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: You can't say that. You can't say that. You don't know.
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: I promise you those buildings are not that bad. Nobody
• 21:59
  Speaker 5: can three thousand, thirty five hundred dollars a month. You
• 22:01
  Speaker 5: can say it, But I don't think you're with the
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: roof falling. You could say that, but I don't think
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: that's happening for a fact. You know what I'm saying,
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: that's happening. Yeah, I don't think you have facts.
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: I think that you're saying that because you're trying to
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: prove a different point.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: But you can't prove that point. You cannot prove that point.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: You can your point that you prove you don't need this,
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: So don't say something that's gonna totally invalidate your point.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not, I'm not. I'm gonna add I'm doing.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: You don't need that.
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: I'm gonna get to where I'm going. As far as
• 22:27
  Speaker 5: a majority, right, most of those buildings are not underperforming.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: As far as the way they're up kept, most of
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: the buildings are okay.
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: You can't say that. I don't agree for sure most
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: of them. I'm not saying all of them.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: But there's tens of thousands of buildings in New York City,
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: let alone, how many of them are in the Bronx
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: or in Brooklyn, right, and in y'all because.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Queen's got a lot of process. Think about the project, Basley,
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: you got Queens, which you got. You see what I'm saying.
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: Apartment buildings that are not New York City Housing Authority,
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: That's what I'm talking about. And although I don't really
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: know enough about Queens to know those areas, I do
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: know the Bronx has appartment buildings up the Wow, that
• 23:08
  Speaker 4: ship a Wow Harlem, that's Washington Heights. That's a lot
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: of those things. So when I'm talking about when I
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: say marginalized community, Spanish, Black Indian people live in or whatever,
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: right that don't have their own ship and depend on
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: somebody else to fix the shit, up. That is not
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: They're taking the money and they're walking away and they're
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: not fixing it.
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: And I appreciate him really shutting light on that because
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: that shit is important. You know what I'm saying, Like
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: I come from When I think that's a good may
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: I come from one of the buildings, you know what
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: I'm saying. So I appreciate that. But as black people,
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: we got to have a bigger vision.
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Bro, what is your problem with mum doney?
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: It sounds like you have because I know a lot
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: of people, especially people that are getting two dollars, like
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: getting two dollars my two dollar niggas. You know, I
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: don't mean when I say I'm getting two dollars, that
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: means listen, I got it. Listen listen, I got my
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: I got my purse on me. Whatever y'all want to do,
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: I could do right right. Those friends of mine tend
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: to not like my Donny. I like Mom Donnie, Bro.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: I like Mom Donnie's as far as like speaking up
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: for the ones who really don't have right, But there
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: are some who are in that middle ground that that
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: do have. Even the ones that don't have, how do
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: we get them to the point that do have. That's
• 24:15
  Speaker 5: what we need for black people.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: We're not.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: We don't need someone to come in and make my
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: ship smell like roses. You get what I'm saying.
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: But when he scoop up the ship and plant roses exactly,
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: that's my point. I want you to scoop up the
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: ship and plants.
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: That's why he got.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: Hold on though, hold on, if I live in the projects,
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: right and they come in, they paint the entire building white,
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: they make the entire floors marble, they make the buildings
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: fucking still, am I still in the projects or not?
• 24:51
  Speaker 5: Co Op, I'm still in the projects. I'm still in
• 24:55
  Speaker 5: the projects. Maybe depends you get what I'm saying. It
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: depends how that's what I'm saying. I'm still in the
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: so I want. I want somebody to really come in
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: and how people get out of these projects into.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Better neighborhoods. I love that. I love that. I love that.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: You get what I'm saying.
• 25:13
  Speaker 4: Absolutely, But I I don't know how Mandani is being
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: Mondanni has been office in office for less than six months.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying he can't. I don't say I'm not
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: saying he don't have time to do it. I'm just
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: speaking what he's pitching.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: But he's facing a criticism that we didn't give to
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Eric Adams, we didn't give to Cuomo, we didn't give
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: to a man. We didn't give it to the Blasio,
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: we didn't give it to We didn't give this to Juliani.
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: He's facing this immense criticism, largely from black people, or
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: at least you know what I mean.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Let me let me take that back.
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: Fuck the black people shit, because I think a lot
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: of us black people like like like Mndani, but people

• 25:48

  Speaker 4: least getting the same treatment as people that's getting in
• 27:25
  Speaker 4: Midtown the same treatment.
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: I agree, Yes, they deserve to not have to live
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: like I agree. So yeah, it's in the projects, okay,
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: but that's different. Good.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: I don't really like talking about politics, but when I
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: hear it, it just.
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: From a third world card.
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: When you see what third world country is, America is
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: fucking lazy. You're saying, oh, yeah, you should educate them
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: to get out the hood and and and be better.
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: And some of these motherfuckers is ignorant. And we're just
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: tired of saying it. That's why third world country people
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: when they come in like my dad, they and they
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: and they make it, they kind of hate. I mean,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: they hate the mentality, not them, hate the mentality of
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: African Americans. Here's why, right, I'm tired of the excuses. Oh, yid,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: they didn't show us the way they did. We was
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: all together in school. Oh they didn't tell us to do.
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: This, they did.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: You just wasn't listening. And here's the problem with it.
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: America has the greatest welfare known to man, where you
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: can eat for free if you sit down and do
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: the application. You can actually want a lottery to sleep
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: somewhere for under one thousand dollars. America builds you to
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: be lazy if you really think about it. Don't work.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: When you don't work, guess what happens. I'm gonna give
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: you EBT, I'm gonna give you cash assistance, I'm gonna
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: give you a voucher, but don't work. Hey, remember you
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: want it for free, don't work off the books only
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: that's exactly So. Now what happens is that person that's
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: in that matrix, welfare matrix, can't get out of it.
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: But his what's crazy. I'm not to fuck that it up.
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: Guess who's the leading. Guess who's who leads? Oh God
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: bless you.
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: Specifically, Jewish people are on welfare more than Black Americans.
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: Guess what they do because you know Hasidics when they
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys, notice when Hasidics married
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: in the United States of America, that's not consider as
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: a real marriage. So if she's how we having eight children,
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: she's single with eight children. She's going to she's gonna
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: get like four grin and EBT fucking fifteen hundred more
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: than fifteen hundred cash events. All of that their vouchure is.
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: And the see what they're doing. They owning a building
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: that they're getting cash advances for in so they're double
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: making money. That's why they own the building. They put
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: the Jewish in there. They're getting money from the government.
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: Everybody's free. Why can't we do that and business? You
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: know why black people can't do that? Here's why, na
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: I say it.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: You're talking about African Americans, African Americans.
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: This is why they're saying. You know why you African
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: Americans don't know why African African Americans. Aftergot that's what
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: he's talking about black people. He said, you American American next.
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: Because I'm an I didn't say. I didn't say I
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: didn't say that. That's never said that. I said the.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: Majority of African Americans, which I am one, but I'm
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: not in that system. I can't wait a majority of
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: African American.
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: Again, because this is their country. Because they you know
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: how long one dollar lasses with black people? Seven seconds?
• 30:41
  Speaker 3: And you know how long one dollar lasses in the
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Jewish community? Seven days, seven seconds, seven days. If I
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: give you a dollar, you don't give it to him
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: to pay it for a service. No, no, you already
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: it went elsewhere. Jew You crazy? If I so cause
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: you buying from me. If you need business funding, you
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: buying from Lucky. If you need a podcast to go
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: to him. If you need sanitation, you need a group
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: of gods to come you calling tea. If you need
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: you need food, Oh my man has a restaurant. It
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: stays in the circle.
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: Now with black people. No, sometimes you.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: Know, it's so crazy. They'd be like, you doing too good.
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: I ain't supporting you, but congratulations. By the way, I'm
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: gonna go support this Spanish guy right here because you're
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: doing the same thing.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't feel like I don't you do.
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: If I don't know what you're doing with my money,
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: the same thing he's doing with your money. Brother, Why
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: can't be like that? So, yeah, Mayor, I don't really
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: look into him, and be honest with you, I don't
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: really follow politics like that. I watch the news every morning.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: That's why I was kind of been quiet. But we
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: bet we we blame a lot of societies issues on
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: the upper anchalon. Yes, a lot of them step for it,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: but they do give it. This is America, you know
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: what the fuck are we talking about.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: You can fucking make money in so many ways in
• 31:56
  Speaker 6: the mouth can't and Haiti you can't. You cannot say
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: I want to open up a six figure cleaning service
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: and fucking Africa like that.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: You can't. You could do it here.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: All you gotta do is post something on Instagram, have
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: everybody repost you have people start doing it and you
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: start moving and grooving facts.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: You can't just do.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: That in Haiti. No, this is what do you want
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: to do. Let me get the ABT. I'm to sit
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: down and wait for the year. Let me do the lottery.
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: I'm gonna wait so I can get into the red
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: for eight hundred dollars. Wait, let me try to cash
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: your systance. I'm gonna wait that. Now you've already on
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: poverty level. You're already on poverty level. You already don't
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: even know you on poverty level.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: So how is it?
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: And then you blame society for your for your faults. No,
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: it's just generational shit because your mom was on it.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Your grandmother was on it, your great great grandmother was
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: on it, So everybody's on it. So it's just okay,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: it's just fine and dandy.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: Let me ask that's interesting. I think that you have
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: a lot of merits to your point. I think for sure,
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: I just wondered that true today. I wonder if that's
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: true today. Sorry, right, because I'm fifty one, so that
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: means I was born nineteen seventy five. So I've seen
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: the nineteen eighties, and I've seen the nineteen nineties, and
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: I've seen the two thousands. I've seen two thousands experience
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: on us, and I see the twenty twenty six. In
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: twenty twenty six, I do not see Black Americans looking up,
• 33:23
  Speaker 4: not in, not in generally. I think the lower class
• 33:26
  Speaker 4: you learn from your community.
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: You can't.
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: And I think also there are people out there where
• 33:31
  Speaker 4: their family suck the life out of them, suck the
• 33:33
  Speaker 4: confidence out of them, suck the chances out of them. Right, dreams. Money,
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: you're getting money, survivors, gid, you're getting money. Oh, your
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: mom's charge you eight four hundred dollars now, and I
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: need this. So you can't really god about your brother
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: because they like yo I got one, bring this head.
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: You're just gonna leave us.
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: Oh no, you can't leave you shoot you with it.
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: You can't leave us. The lower class is that them.
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: Financial uh, disparities can really fuck you up mentally and socially.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: I agree with that, but I don't believe the arguments
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: that you just put.
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: Are necessarily all about welfare and we stuff like that.
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: I don't. I think there's a soul that when y'all
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: come here.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: I really can't speak on the African experience because I
• 34:21
  Speaker 4: agree when I see West Indians they're going straight into
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: medical I don't give a fuck if they doing medical billing,
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: if they nurse it. They're not just doing lower level.
• 34:34
  Speaker 4: They X ray technicians. They that's doing whatever whatever it
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: may be.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I seen it.
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: So so I wonder if it's cultural or what's happening
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: in the homes that are allowing them to do that,
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: and the reason why that matters, because then we got
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: to look at the Black American homes. If something is
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: happening in your home or in your community that's pushing
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: you to go a certain way, that's then we gotta
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: look at what happening over here. When I see the Africans,
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: and I see, let's speak about Nigerians. They call your
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: schemmis with all disrespect, with no disrespect. Something is happening
• 35:11
  Speaker 4: within your community that said we gotta get it by
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: any means course, by any means necessary. This is how
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: we're doing it. And it's and I don't know if
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: it's cultural. I can't say it because, like I said,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: you might be one of my maybe three Nigerian people
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: that I've been in proximity to to have a real
• 35:28
  Speaker 4: conversation with.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: You're gonna see what I'm saying. But then that's for
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: you to answer.
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: What's happening in your community that makes y'all say, yo,
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: you know what, this is how we're gonna do it.
• 35:36
  Speaker 4: On this side, I can speak on a general Black
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: American experience. It is like no other, my nigga, And
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: if you haven't lived it, if you have, if it's
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: not in your genetics, if it hasn't been passed down
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: to you and taught to you at two years old,
• 35:54
  Speaker 4: three years, four years old, by your people in your house,
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: by the people outside, by me walking up and down
• 35:59
  Speaker 4: the block.
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: I see you, nig I wanna kill you. Gonna kill me, alright,
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: be good.
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: Maybe not you. Maybe it's the next nigga dow'n the block.
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: How that imprints on how you feel about yourself? Now,
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: I gotta agree with a lot that you said, because
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: at some point, nigga, who are you when you look
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: in the mirror?
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Are you gonna believe all of that? Or do you
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: think you special?
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: I was outside yesterday, right, I managed to get myself
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: into the parade. Nigga, I went, I foundagoed my way
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: into the parade. Next thing I know, I'm on the parade.
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: I'm outside talking to mellow Bernard King. I'm wild. I'm
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: in the motherfucker parade. I'm not standing on the side.
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: I'm walking along the parade. I'm in there telling everybody dance.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: He we go, Yo Nicks. Right, And I said to myself,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: something about you doesn't give a fuck.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: You didn't care about the police, You didn't give a
• 36:49
  Speaker 4: fuck about the how you looked trying to minig finego
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: your way through the crowd.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: You didn't care.
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: Right, There's something in you that is intrinsically different, my nigga.
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: And for you me to understand the difference than the
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: undeth understand what I'm different from and that means to
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: study what happened to y'all that can't see yourselves as individuals,
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: that can't see yourself, to break away from the system,
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: that whatever happened.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: To us as the people keeps us there.
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: Right this podcast, this podcast podcast in the house, yore hustling.
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: I'm going to do some other shit later on. Right,
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: something happened to me, but that's what made me different.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: But that means that a lot of the people that's
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: stuck somewhere else. And I kinda I don't feel. I
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: don't feel the disrespect that most people feel when they
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: hear Africans speak about Black Americans because they work fucking hard.
• 37:42
  Speaker 4: West Indians work fucking hard. They don't just get a
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: medical degree. They go to the same school. And while
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: the rest of us is out back playing basketball, smoking
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: weed vapor in the bathroom, this motherfucker's doing three different
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: types of homework.
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: He's probably doing his homework. He got to go home
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: take care of his moms.
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: And his moms are pop They make you do the chores,
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: you do, know what I'm saying. So this nigga busting
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: it to get to where he go. And then he
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: looked at his man's his back American friend. That's like, yo,
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: it's just so hard out here. It was right next
• 38:15
  Speaker 4: to each other.
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: We work together.
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: Something happened with my community that made me this way
• 38:23
  Speaker 4: with West Indians and Africans and something different. So when
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: they hear y'all speak that, it feels disrespectful to the
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: Black American experience when it is like no other on
• 38:35
  Speaker 4: the planet none. He said, go to Hispanics. Hispanics can
• 38:40
  Speaker 4: still go to their countries. They have families over there,
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: they have wealth distribution, going back and forth. I got Brooklyn,
• 38:49
  Speaker 4: my nigga. That's what I have and most of it
• 38:54
  Speaker 4: us ain't the same.
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Because it was marketed like that.
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: Bro, stop what I'm saying what I said, because cultural
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: matters matters, and listen to but you went on along
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: and I'm going along. But I'm up from having a
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: having a base matters matters about Queen's I'm a pickle
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: after you gotta say I'm And we were talking about
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: people that come from a family.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: You're able to see yourself in that.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: Let alone, what that family connections is when it's just
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: your mom's your pop said, you can't identify, so you
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: got to go find it, and now this niggas on
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: the corner, and that niggas on the corner, and y'all
• 39:35
  Speaker 4: ain't even saying this niggas from Ghana, This niggas from Guyana,
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: this other niggas.
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: From Saint Lucia.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: Y'all, niggas have three completely different experiences. You understand what
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: I'm saying. So to close for this one point, I
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: just feel like, well, I agree with you on a
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: lot of the points. When it says that we're there's
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: a reason we don't work that the same way as y'all.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: There's a reason we don't do it the same way
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: it was marketed to y'all. So is that, bro, I
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: think it's a lived experience. It's not.
• 40:02
  Speaker 5: I think it's a living experience. Bro, It's not just
• 40:04
  Speaker 5: a living experience. They say your piece and not say
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: my piece.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: It's actually it's actually a bit of both.
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: Ya.
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I want to just say something real quick, and
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: I love this combo. Thanks me to thank you for this,
• 40:15
  Speaker 4: and get to your questions. The questions this is, this
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: is this is something I experienced. I seen my father,
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: a taxi driver, a probation officer, right right, security at
• 40:30

  Speaker 4: It was a probation of for twenty five years. Wow,
• 40:40

• 40:46
  Speaker 3: into a bunch of people. And you know what that

• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Now you got to fill that was my saying.
• 44:25
  Speaker 5: I agree with what he's saying, but as a Black American, right,
• 44:28
  Speaker 5: and I'm gonna tell you the difference, as a Black American,
• 44:32
  Speaker 5: you live in this country, you was born in this country.
• 44:34
  Speaker 5: I condemned y'all because without your fight back in the
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: early sixties and the late fifties as West Indians from
• 44:39
  Speaker 5: my parents, we wouldn't be here.
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: So I'm gonna give your flowers. Just off that, right,
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: that's number one.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to figure out the words come in.
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: I'm drinking. This is black label nigga. This is black label.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: This is black label. No problem. So we put it down.
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: It's like it stirred up. It's the body on the
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: next one.
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: So with that being said, bro, in the early and
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: I'm sorry, in the early seventies, the government passed the
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: Welfare Act. Right, what did that mean for people that
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: were struggling, which there was a lot of sometimes in
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: the seventies as far as black couples. Right, for the
• 45:26
  Speaker 5: household to get help? What was the number one rule?
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: We all know this rule. What was the number of
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: one rule as Black Americans for.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: The household to what? The fatherly couldn't be the right.
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: Exactly, the father couldn't be in the household. That was
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: the Welfare Act in the early seventies. Right, the father
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: could not be in the household to get assistance from
• 45:41
  Speaker 5: the government. That's a design bro to break up the
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: Family's design bro, to break up the family.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: Bro. Okay, cool?
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: So that Black American foundation coming from that, oh the
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: way up to two twenty six compared to the West
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: Indian values in most countries, Haiti, Africa, Guyana, you name it, right,
• 46:05
  Speaker 5: those people are built on core values and what is it?
• 46:08
  Speaker 5: And from their country. It was always come to America
• 46:11
  Speaker 5: for what to live a better life, right to live
• 46:15
  Speaker 5: a better life. It was never to have mammy out
• 46:18
  Speaker 5: the house or have daddy out the house. Understand that
• 46:22
  Speaker 5: that was never marketed to them. That was never a
• 46:26
  Speaker 5: conversation for them. So when they come here as a family,
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: they already coming from core family values, you get what
• 46:33
  Speaker 5: I'm saying, So they instill in that into their kids
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: that you gotta work hard, you gotta be something, you
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: gotta do something. Why because the country we come from,
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: we don't have a choice. We don't have a choice
• 46:48
  Speaker 5: American most American people in that is because not only Blacks,
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: it's Hispanics too. That that now i'll say black, it
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: was most focused on black because most most of those
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: people that in that time will blacks. They don't have
• 47:01
  Speaker 5: that same luxury. You get what I'm saying. At what
• 47:05
  Speaker 5: time from the early.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: Seventies on to now, and I'm saying this far as
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: like it's something that's just that's just I don't think
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: it's a luxury. But I agree with you, it's.
• 47:11
  Speaker 5: Just something that's pitched to you, right because for example,
• 47:14
  Speaker 5: I think we're too comfortable not but for example, though
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: it's something that's just normal, it became a normality for
• 47:19
  Speaker 5: black people. You know what I'm saying, Bro, The father
• 47:22
  Speaker 5: not being in the crib is why a lot of people,
• 47:25
  Speaker 5: a lot of blacks.
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: Are not in the position that they are right now.
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying. I agree, that's that's the
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: biggest thing, BRO.
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: But I do think I do think part of the
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: design factor is like that was intentionally put in because
• 47:36
  Speaker 4: I feel like they knew.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: What I'm saying, Yeah, so you knew that white Americans
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: knew that white court values knew that they know that
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: they know without the black men in the house, without
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: a black bone to the house, it's only so far
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: they can get.
• 47:48
  Speaker 5: Sure will have some lucky ones. We'll have some jay Z's,
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: We'll have some ditties. Sure, we'll have a few of them.
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: Do y'all realize the attack that happened on black American households,
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: what Black Wall Street or as far as like period
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: is criminal. The criminalization the But that's what I'm talking
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: about currently with with with the jail system.
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: After the after the crack error, they's what they started
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: private private, privatizing the priticism. So they started making money
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: started making money after the priticism.
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but what does that come from?
• 48:23
  Speaker 5: That that stems from black crime, because the black crime
• 48:26
  Speaker 5: started to escalate after the seventies. Hold On, because there
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: was no father figure in the homes. It's a plant
• 48:34
  Speaker 5: our sons and our daughters. Bro hold let me tell
• 48:36
  Speaker 5: you something, a boy. Hold on, let me tell you something.
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: A mother has a son, right, hold on, hold On,
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: A mother has a son. Right, He's only a baby
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: for so long in that household as a single parent.
• 48:46
  Speaker 5: By the time that boy is thirteen fourteen, fifteen sixteen.
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: He is a man. He is a man.
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: Bro household and in a Black American household. As far
• 48:57
  Speaker 5: as in general fourteen fifteen, hold on, hold on, that's
• 49:01
  Speaker 5: not true. Hold On, hold on. I'm speaking from a
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: woman to a boyd perspective. Every mother, it may not
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: be like your mother I'm speaking. I'm not speaking of
• 49:09
  Speaker 5: as far as speaking generally and generally.
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: Not ever, you can't speak generally, not every mother where
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: your facts is wrong.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: No, I'm not wrong.
• 49:16
  Speaker 4: Not every mother does appliant it. I don't know if
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: were you a man at thirteen fourteen, No, I was
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: not a man.
• 49:21
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying not a man as far as like
• 49:23
  Speaker 5: what you can do finish this man, as far as
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: physicality a man, as far as presence in the household.
• 49:28
  Speaker 5: You feel me with no father around. By thirteen forty fifteen,
• 49:33
  Speaker 5: how you trying what you're saying?
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: You're a man at a household now? But you're really
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: not a man though exactly still a puppy.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: Exactly exactly. But your mother paints you as what a
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: man of? What? The man of? What of the household?
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: If there's no man of?
• 49:47
  Speaker 3: But it's like a figure of speech, I think when
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: they'd be like, well, listen, you know it's your dad's
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: not here, no more house now.
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: But that's not like she's not really on him to
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: be like, but hold on. She was fighting off an
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: intruder before she thinks I'm getting missing.
• 50:02
  Speaker 5: You're missing the point, my mom too. You're missing the point.
• 50:06
  Speaker 5: Bro hold on, you don't get what I'm saying. Yeah,
• 50:10
  Speaker 5: you're missing the point. Bro Okay. Subconsciously, at thirteen fourteen,
• 50:13
  Speaker 5: she's telling you the man of the house now your
• 50:15
  Speaker 5: father's not involved. So as a thirteen fourteen year old,
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: what does that do to you? Mentally? What does that
• 50:20
  Speaker 5: do to you?
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: Mentally? You're not focused on school. I think you are.
• 50:24
  Speaker 5: You're not focused on sports like that now you're not
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: unless you have a mother that's conditioning you to letting
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: you know, listen.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: I still want you to go to school. I still
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: want you to do this. You know, you're not the
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: man of the household. Maybe some mothers did that, most didn't, though,
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: as Black American mothers, most did it. I can't say that.
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: I can't. I can't agree. That's a fact.
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: The mother not agree with you is your biggest supporter. Yeah,
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: she's pushing you as much you have to. What you're
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: doing is you're getting uh, you're getting so much pushback
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: from what your mother's trying to get you to do
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: as a boy.
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: But your balls dropped. If you're thirteen, your mother's struggling.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: When your balls drop and start, you start caring so
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: much more about what your friends think, what women think,
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: how you look, what the influences of what's cool and not.
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: Your mom's is the one telling you to go to school,
• 51:24
  Speaker 4: telling you to get a job. You like, you're struggling, bro,
• 51:29
  Speaker 4: you need your dad in the crib. You don't have
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: that luxury. If you're struggling.
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: If you're thirteen, fourteen years old, coming up as a
• 51:34
  Speaker 5: Black American in this country, and your mother is struggling.
• 51:38
  Speaker 5: You don't have that luxury to play sports. You don't
• 51:41
  Speaker 5: have that luxury to fucking do what you want to do.
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: Most of them hit the streets to make money for.
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: What I mean, shit, yeah, a lot of them hit
• 51:50
  Speaker 4: A lot of them hit the streets for what to do,
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: what to support you to get to it.
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: Sometimes not to get two dollars to support my mom
• 51:56
  Speaker 5: and a crip because she's doing about herself.
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's a good story. That's the majority of a story.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: It's a good story.
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: Sometimes there's already a Black American story. You could go
• 52:04
  Speaker 5: from the South all the.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: Way out here.
• 52:06
  Speaker 4: I hustled for a long time. That's I'm not saying.
• 52:09
  Speaker 4: I'm not listen.
• 52:10
  Speaker 5: I'm not saying there are not some kids who grew
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: up very well with only a single parent in the house.
• 52:15
  Speaker 5: That's not what I'm saying. That missing the point. I'm
• 52:17
  Speaker 5: speaking as far as a majority. As a majority, most
• 52:22
  Speaker 5: black households are single mothers. Most single mothers put a
• 52:25
  Speaker 5: lot of responsibility on their sons at young ages. At
• 52:29
  Speaker 5: that point, with not a man in the house by
• 52:33
  Speaker 5: all means you gotta hustle and bustle to help mommy.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: Bro. I think that if you're responsible, if you're responding,
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, if you love your mother.
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: I don't think black women have that type of chokehol over.
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: The black boys that go outside like that on once,
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: they're going, they're going, and a lot of times it's
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: like they they've been fighting for fourteen years. This little
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: boy but a youth, and it's like, yo, bro, I
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: understand that, Thank God, just please God, don't get nobody.
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: Pregnant and don't go just I understand that.
• 53:01
  Speaker 4: And after that, the niggas like, why I'm out with
• 53:03
  Speaker 4: my friends, I'm over here, I'm over there, and you
• 53:04
  Speaker 4: can't really control them.
• 53:06
  Speaker 5: It's still just the boy exactly. But if you really
• 53:09
  Speaker 5: love your mother, right, most black men get into trouble.
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: I think girls do more that more than that than
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: in a single household.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: Bro.
• 53:14
  Speaker 5: Most black men from it, from the seventies all the
• 53:18
  Speaker 5: way up to now, we can't even say the sixties,
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: all the way up to now, in a single parent
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: household got into the prison system trying to help their family.
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: Is that not a fact? Not all the time? Come
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: on bro. Just you just said you listen to good
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: rap music. Nah Bro, I listened like ice. Nah Bro,
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: it's more I listened to good rap music. Yeah, but
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: that's like a.
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: Good rap song. Like yeah, I was just trying to
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: help out. No niggas be buying jewelry, my nigga enjoyed.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: It's not yes, nigga niggas buy jewelry on the road
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: while getting money. But the reason why you stepped outside
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: and sol that crack was to help your household. That
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: was the first initial goal.
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: But look, but I feel like this you're missing the
• 54:00
  Speaker 4: portion of it where there's a lot of people who,
• 54:02
  Speaker 4: like we talked about before, who grow up with the
• 54:04
  Speaker 4: family aspect and still decide to go do that anyway.
• 54:06
  Speaker 2: But that's idiot. I'm not talking about that. There's but
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: I'm saying that's a lot of the population as well,
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: exactly like it.
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: That's a good portion of that too. So when we're
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: talking about the situation, we have to account for all
• 54:16
  Speaker 4: the things. Right, there's there's exactly what you said, right,
• 54:18
  Speaker 4: the people that are doing it that way, but there
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: are also the people that had both parents that had
• 54:22
  Speaker 4: the crib they had, they had the grandmother, grandfather. They
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: had the house, they got the will, the funding, and
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: they still was like, I'm about to go outside and
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: get them.
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: I'm about to get this. No, I'm about to go
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: get this block and do that. And you're like, yo, brother,
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: there was what you needed to do. There was nothing
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: about about But you know what that stems from.
• 54:46
  Speaker 5: No, from my first initiative, martination, from the marketing bro
• 54:52
  Speaker 5: it was marketed like that. So even if you got
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: the mother and the father and the crib, most of
• 54:56
  Speaker 5: your friends come from single black family households, and most
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: of them.
• 55:01
  Speaker 2: And also too, I feel like in our community, most
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: of them don't. Hold on most of most of your
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: homies got most of your homies got got the fault
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: in the house or no.
• 55:09
  Speaker 4: It's like a half and a half. Some do something,
• 55:10
  Speaker 4: don't most of them don't. It's like half most of
• 55:13

• 55:17
  Speaker 5: our fucking phone books right now. Most of them don't.

  Speaker 5: And why not most of minds do because that is

  Speaker 5: it different minds.
• 55:24
  Speaker 4: You gotta remember what happened to us seven is in
• 55:27
  Speaker 4: the eighties, hold on, lucky, Lucky. I was trying to
• 55:30
  Speaker 4: explain this to before you got possessed by your point.
• 55:33
  Speaker 4: What I'm trying to say is there was something that
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: happened in black families. The c I A crack flooded
• 55:42
  Speaker 4: the black community.
• 55:44
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 55:44
  Speaker 4: They said it was an experiment they wanted to see.
• 55:47
  Speaker 4: They took the money and send it to Nicaragua.
• 55:51
  Speaker 2: Bro.
• 55:51
  Speaker 4: This was done by design, I agree. Now those kids
• 55:56
  Speaker 4: were born out of crack. That the crack. Their dad's
• 55:59
  Speaker 4: going to jail, right. They don't have a dad. They
• 56:02
  Speaker 4: don't know what it's like to live with a dad.
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: The daughter don't and the boy don't. They now grew
• 56:08
  Speaker 4: up and either replicated or say, well, I'm not gonna
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: create another system like that, so the shit gets kind
• 56:14
  Speaker 4: of split.
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: That's we're all. We're all a result, Nigga. I'm fifty.
• 56:18
  Speaker 2: I was right there. That means my daughter could have
• 56:21
  Speaker 2: went either way. It could have went either way. I
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: just chose, like what, And I'm gonna keep it real.
• 56:26
  Speaker 4: I'm a super cread and the people listening to That's
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: why I can't even lie because I have told the
• 56:29
  Speaker 4: story for my daughter six seven years.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: I ain't know what she needed. The dad I ain't
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: have one. Six seven years in.
• 56:37
  Speaker 4: I was like, Yo, the mom's supposed to do that,
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: the moms supposed to take away.
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: I was mad at my baby mother, like, why is
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: you keep talking about taking cares some fucking kids? My
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: moms did that. What happened to you women?
• 56:49
  Speaker 4: Where y'all can't take care of the kids since when
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: I'm supposed to do that?
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: Because I never seen it. I never seen it.
• 56:55
  Speaker 4: But what I'm telling you is that breakdown of what
• 56:58
  Speaker 4: happened in the seventies and eight, because what you're talking
• 57:01
  Speaker 4: about is now said we need finished because I yo, bro,
• 57:05
  Speaker 4: you you nigga, You and your points are hand in
• 57:07
  Speaker 4: her hand.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: Listen, this didn't happen before the seventies.
• 57:12
  Speaker 4: Bro, We was building communities before the seventies, We were
• 57:15
  Speaker 4: supporting each other.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: This all happened, like you said, by design marketing.
• 57:20
  Speaker 4: But they did it to Black American households specifically, they
• 57:25
  Speaker 4: did it and it.
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: Worked, That's what I said. So we're fighting against that now.
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: So what I'm saying going back to what Dave said,
• 57:33
  Speaker 4: because what he said, I really do believe this merit
• 57:37
  Speaker 4: to it. But and then there's that argument of is
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: this an excuse or reason? Like are y'all using it
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: to validate being poor. And is it not working harder
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: or is there something sociologically psychologically impacting you to not
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: go further, not break their generational curse?
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: And I think that that's the conversation that needs to
