  Speaker 1: Oh all right, guys, we're back. And I got an
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: email and it says, uh, hello, this message is from
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: fat Andy. Hi, fat Andy. Um, why do black people
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: march when the police kill y'all but not when y'all
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: kill each other? Not trying to be funny, but why Taylor,
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: what's your thoughts? Well? I think that? Um hm, I
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: think that. Um. I think that when when when the
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: police kill us, it's it's something in history, right, um.
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: And so history history when it deals with racism, We've
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: been dealing with that court a long time, right, and
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: so from monthly the king time we marched, from the
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: church time, we march. I think that with with with
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: anything in life, right, Um, when your own do it
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: to you, although it's wrong, but it's a little more accepted.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: M You see what I'm saying. I think that, and
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I think that whether you're talking about black people white people,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: because white people do some things too, and we scratch
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: your head like like what is going on? You know?
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: You know? One thing, one thing that I that I
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: can't say is that you know they will they will
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: talk about each other until kingdom come, but as soon
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: as some ship goes down, they unite like nothing happened,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: and I'm like, but this person just talked about your
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: mother and talked about everything, but you reunite so so so,
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I mean, everybody do different things. I think that when
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: it comes to violence between black on black, um, it happens, um,
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: and I think that we accept it. But when it
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: comes from a different race, it's almost like another race
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: have no right to take us out but our own.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: That's just I'm not saying that it's right. I'm just
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: saying that we we we accept it better when we
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: hear oh data down the street took out you know
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: the bond and yeah, I just feel like, you know, um,
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: the police, we pay their salary with our tax dollars
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and they're supposed to protect and serve us. Crime in
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a community, you're gonna have crime in the community that
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: you live in. And if you live in a black community,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have black on black crime, and white community
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: you're gonna have white on white crime. Asian community, you're
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: gonna have Asian on Asian crime. That is American society. Honestly,
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: we kill each other in the communities that we're in.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Not saying that it is okay, but when the police
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: come in our communities and kill us when they're paid
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: to protect and serve us. That is a problem to me,
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: and that's why we march about it. That's why we're
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: marching on that now. Definitely, do we need to address
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: the crime in our own communities, Absolutely, we do. We do.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: But when you're coming in our community, and like you said,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: you have been taught how to de escalate situations in
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: your career, you know, why are they trying to de
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: escalate with us the same way as that they do
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: in other communities. That is the issue, and that is
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: why we march. Yeah, so I got a little bit
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: uh saying a lot of lines of both on both sides, right,
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So with me, is is a little bit more metaphysical
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: than that. Okay, we know that they when they come
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: in the neighborhoods and a black person gets killed by
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a white person, that's one person down right, Um, And
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: a lot of times the officer is not held accountable
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: whether or not you know it was done uh excessive
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: force or maybe they shouldn't have killed this person at all. Right,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: when it's black on black crime, we got two people
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: missing out. You have the person that committed it and
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: then the person that's dead. Right, there's no I do.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: I personally do not believe that there is more black
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: on black violence than any other community. It's just that
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: it's put in our face more right to cause a
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: mental psychological response to it, so we can keep seeing
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: ourselves being murdered over and over and over and over again. Right,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: I think people should stop marching personally, it doesn't work.
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: What I think black people need to do is get
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: life insurance. Okay, when you're driving a car and you're
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: gonna tell a car accident, you're not gonna stop driving
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: just because you got into an accident. You have insurance
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: to cover that. Police literally have insurance to kill people
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: when they violate your civil rights. Your family get paid. Right,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: So what if more black people have life insurance, the
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: life insurance company is gonna be coming at the police
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: departments at that point because now we're paying out millions
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: and trillions and dollars and deaths, unjustified homicides, and you you,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: you you violating people's civil rights. They're not gonna stop
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: because they're licensed and bonded to do so. So marching
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: doesn't work. So if he's asking that question, no, why
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: don't y'all march. That would be my question back to
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: the white listener, why don't y'all march when the police
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: kill them, because they actually get killed more by the
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: police and black people because but nine times they're the
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: aggressor most of the time. Most of the time they're
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: probably they probably have a gun or a knife charging
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: at the police when they get shot. There's a lot
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: of unarmed black people that get shot by the police,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: which is why we feel like we have to march
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: about it. We march to get somebody, just to get
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: charges brought in knowledge. Oftentimes these people just go home
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: and it's months, five, six months down the line and
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: they haven't even been charged with an unjustified homicide. It's
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: not an accident. It was murder. So that's my take
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: on it. Life is charge over marching. Thanks for Andy
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: for us sending that question. We appreciate it. Thank you.
