- 2:57Speaker 5: All right, A lot of people might agree with you,
- 3:07Speaker 5: though I hear that a lot.
- 3:10Speaker 4: I think virgos are the worst sign period, hands down.
- 3:14Speaker 4: I think so. I think that the hardest both. But yeah,
- 3:19Speaker 4: I don't deal with But you have friends, I don't
- 3:22Speaker 4: really know them, you really you see them once every
- 3:26Speaker 4: once in a while.
- 3:27Speaker 2: You have you not then, but I think that I think,
- 3:30Speaker 2: I think I think that with with with what grinds
- 3:33Speaker 2: my gears with some virgos is the fact that when
- 3:37Speaker 2: you upset them, they go crazy. It goes so far
- 3:41Speaker 2: less so fast. But it's like you have to be
- 3:46Speaker 2: the perfection of a person for you to respond so
- 3:50Speaker 2: crazily for something that you could have possibly done to
- 3:54Speaker 2: somebody else, or you probably did to somebody else. But
- 3:56Speaker 2: the minute that anything happens to you, that is even
- 4:00Speaker 2: it could be minutia. Y'all gonna take it to hell
- 4:03Speaker 2: every time, and I don't got time to back, and
- 4:05Speaker 2: I don't argue. I'm not gonna argue with nobody like yeah, yeah,
- 4:11Speaker 2: there's something really.
- 4:12Speaker 4: You really went to that man's girl to let her
- 4:15Speaker 4: know that you're jerking him off.
- 4:19Speaker 5: Recording we always ask twice the two different people, and
- 4:24Speaker 5: I was like, why did I do that? It was
- 4:26Speaker 5: called for in the moment, it never called for because
- 4:29Speaker 5: she called me a broken.
- 4:30Speaker 2: Gay man, right, a broken gay man, a broken gay man,
- 4:33Speaker 2: or a broken game man.
- 4:34Speaker 5: And I told she said, you're a broken gay man
- 4:36Speaker 5: that needs therapy, And I said, your yours is broken.
- 4:40Speaker 3: That's why you can't hold those babies.
- 4:51Speaker 4: That's not okay, because you are a broken man. Period time.
- 5:01Speaker 4: It was true.
- 5:02Speaker 3: A few days later it was wrong. In that moment.
- 5:09Speaker 5: You can say you can't say what then you want
- 5:11Speaker 5: to say to me and not expect me to watch
- 5:13Speaker 5: my mouth?
- 5:16Speaker 2: Does work? You know, that's work? And that is what's wrong.
- 5:23Speaker 2: That right, that is the example. That's literally the exam
- 5:27Speaker 2: and that's.
- 5:27Speaker 4: Happened every time you get a Vergo man, they go.
- 5:31Speaker 2: They go crazy.
- 5:34Speaker 4: What at least Aquarius, they just be befuddled, like they
- 5:39Speaker 4: have no idea what they did. They're like, I can't
- 5:41Speaker 4: believe I'm under attack, Like you hit me with your car.
- 5:46Speaker 3: You can't.
- 5:47Speaker 4: You don't know what's going on.
- 5:49Speaker 2: You literally hit me with your car, Aquaries like, I
- 5:52Speaker 2: don't know what they like?
- 5:53Speaker 4: Why are you coming at me like that? You're saying
- 5:55Speaker 4: that's me. See, I don't.
- 6:00Speaker 2: Low, No, I go low, but I will take it
- 6:06Speaker 2: to hell cancer, But I'm not. I don't. I'm very
- 6:12Speaker 2: strategic about the fucked up shit that I say to
- 6:15Speaker 2: people because I also understand that if I care about
- 6:19Speaker 2: you enough, I can't say too much because I have
- 6:22Speaker 2: to be able to come back from this. So I'm
- 6:25Speaker 2: logical about how low I go. Now if I take
- 6:28Speaker 2: it to like if I said something like that to
- 6:30Speaker 2: somebody one, I have no respect for you. I have
- 6:35Speaker 2: no idea like there is no way that I would
- 6:37Speaker 2: like to rectify this situation or this relationship and we
- 6:42Speaker 2: either got to fight. Oh, I'm never talking to you again.
- 6:44Speaker 2: Like that's literally like where my brain will go for
- 6:47Speaker 2: me to say something that bad.
- 6:48Speaker 4: Let me just explain something to you, y'all, y'all know
- 6:51Speaker 4: my mouth, y'all know me. Right, this woman has chosen
- 6:54Speaker 4: friendship with me for ten years plus because it's been
- 6:59Speaker 4: said every times, not saying I deserved it or not,
- 7:03Speaker 4: but I've seen her go and in that moment, she
- 7:07Speaker 4: chose friendship. In that moment she looked, she said you,
- 7:16Speaker 4: And then every time you know what, I see what
- 7:18Speaker 4: I'm saying, moment I love you. I do.
- 7:24Speaker 2: I do that. I do that a lot. I do
- 7:26Speaker 2: it at work, I do I do it everywhere. I
- 7:30Speaker 2: know what I really want to say. I can't say
- 7:35Speaker 2: that out loud.
- 7:36Speaker 3: You know, it's not doing it.
- 7:38Speaker 2: It's not it's not nice.
- 7:39Speaker 5: I have to say what you ask for forgiveness later.
- 7:42Speaker 5: So right now, I for like you attacking me. I
- 7:45Speaker 5: have to put my guard up and say, calm down.
- 7:48Speaker 2: That's not a calm down, that is a that is
- 7:51Speaker 2: an atomic bomb.
- 7:52Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I get it.
- 7:55Speaker 5: From my mother. Her birthday is the day after me,
- 7:56Speaker 5: and my grandmother's like that too. She's a death to me.
- 7:58Speaker 4: We are here back on a new episode. We catapulted.
- 8:06Speaker 4: We catapulted into the first episode and that was nuts.
- 8:11Speaker 4: Hopefully you all have returned back to hear more toxicity.
- 8:17Speaker 4: But when we're talking about black women, were talking about
- 8:20Speaker 4: your mom and being a virgo and everything, it reminds
- 8:22Speaker 4: me of the young lady that we had on last
- 8:24Speaker 4: week that kind of blew the internet's mine. We released
- 8:29Speaker 4: one or two clips and literally, I know Trump said
- 8:32Speaker 4: he had somebody walk up to him in person. I've
- 8:35Speaker 4: had several people walk up to me in person asking
- 8:38Speaker 4: me what the fuck.
- 8:39Speaker 2: I've had more dms this week than I've had in
- 8:43Speaker 2: a very long time of people like like why y'all
- 8:46Speaker 2: yelling at me for I ain't even want to come
- 8:48Speaker 2: to work that day.
- 8:50Speaker 6: Somebody hit me up and was like, Yo, why you
- 8:52Speaker 6: wasn't there. I said, Yah, I wasn't even I wasn't there.
- 8:58Speaker 4: What the fuck? The inter andnet so you saw it too, right?
- 9:03Speaker 5: I told you my nigga sent it to me today.
- 9:04Speaker 5: He was like, this is crazy. I wish I had
- 9:06Speaker 5: something to say, I was like, what my MoMA way there.
- 9:08Speaker 4: Now, now we've had some people say this is irresponsible
- 9:14Speaker 4: to have this person on your platform. M I'm like, well,
- 9:19Speaker 4: we didn't just she didn't just come in here and
- 9:21Speaker 4: doctor umarus, like we literally dodgers arguing with her down
- 9:25Speaker 4: as a historian, as a black woman, like she literally
- 9:29Speaker 4: was giving it up. Trom had some some mic drop moments.
- 9:33Speaker 4: I had my little ad libs every once in a while,
- 9:35Speaker 4: like literally every forty five minutes. I said, like, for
- 9:38Speaker 4: a word, they were good words. So I felt like
- 9:43Speaker 4: it was a good conversation. Do y'all think it's irresponsible
- 9:46Speaker 4: for us to have had that person on the show.
- 9:48Speaker 4: Not at all.
- 9:50Speaker 7: I think it's good to have balanced conversation. I feel
- 9:52Speaker 7: like we I think we all consider ourselves pro black.
- 9:57Speaker 7: She considers herself pro black, and there's people black people
- 10:01Speaker 7: that look different, and we need to talk. We need
- 10:03Speaker 7: to have conversation, and we need to figure out what
- 10:05Speaker 7: we agree on, what we disagree on, and have conversations
- 10:08Speaker 7: with it.
- 10:09Speaker 2: Gosh, it's all right. Was it irresponsible? No, But we
- 10:18Speaker 2: had a conversation prior to the show when I said, like,
- 10:23Speaker 2: if I don't I don't have a need to have
- 10:29Speaker 2: certain conversations with certain people if I know that your
- 10:32Speaker 2: mind is not going to change, because then we're just
- 10:35Speaker 2: we're just arguing to completely different sides and nobody is
- 10:39Speaker 2: going to concede to the other side. So it's just like,
- 10:42Speaker 2: what is the point of even having a conversation. But
- 10:46Speaker 2: I enjoy talking to people and having discourse and debates
- 10:50Speaker 2: with people that think completely differently than me, because honestly,
- 10:55Speaker 2: in my toxicity, it's an ego boost for me. Like
- 10:59Speaker 2: for me, it's like, oh, I know, I'm not fucking crazy.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Like it's like, okay, so I I understand.
- 11:06Speaker 4: He retained all of that information.
- 11:08Speaker 2: This is what I've been trying to tell y'all the
- 11:09Speaker 2: adh I have one hundred and fifty tabs open in
- 11:12Speaker 2: his brain right now, and I'm and I'll be overwhelmed.
- 11:16Speaker 4: I didn't even know you was that mort.
- 11:20Speaker 2: That's the second time, and it was some shit, And
- 11:24Speaker 2: I did, what do you mean, nigga?
- 11:28Speaker 4: You knew she would say something and you'd be like, no,
- 11:32Speaker 4: that was the that was egypteen seventeen eighty six.
- 11:36Speaker 2: I was like, what, I know, you know that.
- 11:38Speaker 4: And she'd be like, yes, you're right, and then like
- 11:40Speaker 4: you was literally like with when she was saying certain shit.
- 11:44Speaker 8: You had.
- 11:46Speaker 4: Concrete date data to argue it against it. That is
- 11:53Speaker 4: something like I can argue out of feelings, I can
- 11:55Speaker 4: argue out of certain shit, but that data point I
- 11:57Speaker 4: missed that I didn't. I don't have that, you know
- 12:00Speaker 4: what I'm saying. And I was just like, yo, you
- 12:01Speaker 4: kept doing that joint episode.
- 12:03Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's it's it's something that I'm passionate about.
- 12:07Speaker 2: But you also have to understand, like I feel like
- 12:09Speaker 2: when we have conversations all the time, I'm like, y'all
- 12:11Speaker 2: want you to come to work with me one day.
- 12:12Speaker 2: You don't understand, like this is what I do every day.
- 12:15Speaker 2: Like my whole day is numbers, is data, it's percentage,
- 12:19Speaker 2: it's standards, it's it's it's unpacking, it's given feedback, it's
- 12:23Speaker 2: having conversation, it's hip to hip coaching. Like I do
- 12:26Speaker 2: this Monday through Friday. My brain is consistently on overload
- 12:31Speaker 2: and it's it's second nature. Just you could say some shit,
- 12:35Speaker 2: you can say whatever fuck you want to say, but
- 12:37Speaker 2: I'm being a coaching meeting with you right now and
- 12:38Speaker 2: tell you that your data from three weeks ago does
- 12:40Speaker 2: not match up what you just said. Right now, I
- 12:42Speaker 2: can tell you your lesson internalization data. I can tell
- 12:45Speaker 2: you how many kids in your class is on standard,
- 12:48Speaker 2: who's not on standard, off the top of my head,
- 12:49Speaker 2: in front of your face. So that's my job.
- 12:53Speaker 7: I want to add to why I think it was
- 12:55Speaker 7: a good conversation because we could learn from other people.
- 12:58Speaker 7: I watched some of her shit on YouTube when she
- 13:01Speaker 7: was having a debate. It was like conservatives versus progressives,
- 13:05Speaker 7: and you learn from both sides. It's like and there's
- 13:08Speaker 7: things that conservatives say picking apart democratic agendas, and it's like,
- 13:13Speaker 7: you know, fair, And that's why while we were talking
- 13:16Speaker 7: to her, I was like, this is not that we
- 13:18Speaker 7: are not trying to back the democratic agenda.
- 13:22Speaker 4: We're just talking as I don't agree with her. I
- 13:26Speaker 4: think she's brilliant.
- 13:27Speaker 7: So it's important to hear conservative viewpoints and how they
- 13:30Speaker 7: came to those viewpoints and how they criticized the democratic
- 13:33Speaker 7: agenda because some things might be valid. So if you
- 13:37Speaker 7: are a Democrat, you should be open to learn about
- 13:39Speaker 7: things that your party can do better. And who better
- 13:42Speaker 7: than somebody in the opposing party to point things out
- 13:45Speaker 7: and you've got to.
- 13:45Speaker 4: Be open minded and if you want to grow and learn.
- 13:48Speaker 4: I like the fact that you're saying that Trump, But
- 13:51Speaker 4: I have had a personal beef recently. We got to
- 13:57Speaker 4: get back to this young leader, right. But when you
- 13:59Speaker 4: were like learning from people that different from you, I've
- 14:02Speaker 4: recently opened Facebook.
- 14:06Speaker 2: Let's talk about Facebook. Let's talk about the fact that
- 14:09Speaker 2: I specifically asked you not to post on Facebook and
- 14:12Speaker 2: you did it in tea way. Why do you think
- 14:16Speaker 2: we never had clips on Facebook? I said that years.
- 14:18Speaker 4: We have a whole page. Now it's been there. I
- 14:23Speaker 4: didn't have access to it. I never opened it.
- 14:25Speaker 2: I started seeing that ship on my Facebook. I'm like, damn,
- 14:27Speaker 2: this niggat.
- 14:28Speaker 4: Only we have a whole consistence from the past. Opened it.
- 14:36Speaker 4: It's used. Mad content is there and I have no
- 14:39Speaker 4: idea how to get into it. I'm like, yo, what
- 14:41Speaker 4: is this? But that being said, who are these people
- 14:49Speaker 4: on Facebook?
- 14:50Speaker 2: They are crazy? These are not like like and this
- 14:54Speaker 2: is this is why they want to be there, Like
- 14:56Speaker 2: they are literally insane. Put me on every social media
- 14:59Speaker 2: except for faceboo book, like when you say the bottom
- 15:02Speaker 2: of the barrel. You want to talk about the literacy crisis,
- 15:04Speaker 2: the literacy crisis is on Facebook. They're all right there, Okay,
- 15:12Speaker 2: don't see what you tried.
- 15:14Speaker 4: But that's fine because he's not wrong as your grown
- 15:17Speaker 4: ass idiots. Yo. I'm like, yo, First of all, I
- 15:24Speaker 4: do want to say this right, shout out to the
- 15:27Speaker 4: people that love their heritage, whether you're African American.
- 15:37Speaker 2: They all on Facebook because they don't get blocked on Facebook.
- 15:41Speaker 4: What the fuck is this FBA ship? I said, some
- 15:47Speaker 4: ship and I have hundreds of comments of misspelled words,
- 15:55Speaker 4: kicking the ass every day, hate big a tree, black
- 15:59Speaker 4: classies Like it's like, nigga, you don't even know how
- 16:04Speaker 4: to spell what that you think that you you're telling
- 16:07Speaker 4: people ship?
- 16:08Speaker 2: This is nuts and you can't tell him nothing you
- 16:11Speaker 2: can't take I said, what the fuck a tether that
- 16:17Speaker 2: I was bought here?
- 16:19Speaker 3: My favorite one is from my clips, my family from there,
- 16:22Speaker 3: my clips.
- 16:22Speaker 5: They'll be like, he don't even know that he's gay,
- 16:24Speaker 5: really really like, because.
- 16:27Speaker 4: You have you never you've never been over here. I'm
- 16:32Speaker 4: not active on Facebook.
- 16:33Speaker 3: Don't go. It's not a good especially the old Caucasian.
- 16:37Speaker 4: Now they really try to get you. Now, the literate
- 16:39Speaker 4: I understand this SBA ship, this FBA ship for do
- 16:45Speaker 4: they have a point?
- 16:47Speaker 2: I don't understand what what their point? What is their point?
- 16:50Speaker 2: What is there? What is the goal? What is there?
- 16:54Speaker 2: Foundational Black Americans so the descendants of slaves only, So
- 16:59Speaker 2: like I am technically not FBA because my father is
- 17:05Speaker 2: from Guyana, so that in its own it excludes me,
- 17:10Speaker 2: even though my whole grandmother's side is or like my
- 17:14Speaker 2: mother's side has been in this country since slavery. Because
- 17:18Speaker 2: of my father's side, I am excluded from the common
- 17:20Speaker 2: I'm not a real Black American. And that's fine.
- 17:23Speaker 4: Here's what they're doing that you're not a Black American
- 17:25Speaker 4: unless you are a descendant of slavery.
- 17:28Speaker 2: Yes, or like full descendant of slavery.
- 17:31Speaker 3: To the cops, you're a Black American.
- 17:33Speaker 4: They don't care about that. They know that if something
- 17:36Speaker 4: they feel like if you're one, two, three generations removed,
- 17:41Speaker 4: when something goes down, you can leave. You can go
- 17:44Speaker 4: back to your country. You might have been a descendant
- 17:47Speaker 4: of slavery from somewhere else, but that doesn't entidele you
- 17:50Speaker 4: to reparations here or to represent Black Americans here that
- 17:54Speaker 4: went through the real struggle of Black Americans that went
- 17:58Speaker 4: through slavery.
- 18:00Speaker 2: Chattle slavery.
- 18:02Speaker 3: Doing this.
- 18:02Speaker 4: Yes, we need It's a black maga movement. They're idiots.
- 18:10Speaker 4: I'm like, bro, how.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Ah, I'm not half black?
- 18:14Speaker 4: Fuck See how productive is this conversation? I think Trum
- 18:18Speaker 4: used this word with me is counterproductive. We was having
- 18:21Speaker 4: a conversation earlier this week and I said, that's exactly
- 18:23Speaker 4: what we literally need. So now I don't even identify
- 18:29Speaker 4: as West Indians. But now I'm not Black American enough
- 18:32Speaker 4: to stand beside you in this fight against real oppression.
- 18:37Speaker 4: Now I'm not Black American enough. Now we need to
- 18:39Speaker 4: sector out more and hate each other more and fuck
- 18:43Speaker 4: it for me. Have your heritage, I.
- 18:46Speaker 2: Have your pride.
- 18:48Speaker 4: Dope you can Why y'all turn that into a weapon.
- 18:52Speaker 4: You're weaponizing it. They're literally maga, my nigga. They're running
- 18:56Speaker 4: around Facebook like ice.
- 19:03Speaker 2: People who are one two generations.
- 19:05Speaker 4: Yeah, like you ain't come here and get in here,
- 19:08Speaker 4: you get the fuck out of America.
- 19:10Speaker 6: Facebook is crazy. No, I agree with you. I don't really.
- 19:16Speaker 6: I never really I'm not gonna say not support, but
- 19:19Speaker 6: to me, I just feel like a lot of that
- 19:20Speaker 6: ship really comes because of the reparations, right. I feel
- 19:23Speaker 6: like once money gets involved, then niggas start trying to
- 19:26Speaker 6: section themselves off, and to me, once you do that,
- 19:28Speaker 6: the whole plot is lost. So I don't really support it,
- 19:32Speaker 6: and trying to my right, I don't. I don't know,
- 19:34Speaker 6: but that's what that movement is about, right, basically identifying
- 19:37Speaker 6: the people who are eligible and the people who are
- 19:40Speaker 6: not eligible, exactly like I'm saying, Like, it's all coming
- 19:43Speaker 6: down to the money. So if you throw the money
- 19:45Speaker 6: on every money magic right, thank you dodge, imagine any
- 19:48Speaker 6: money that it's not even discussed and niggasa otulus check.
- 19:53Speaker 6: This is what I'm tired. Is exactly what I'm talking about.
- 19:55Speaker 4: So that's never came. That's why, that's why I've never
- 19:58Speaker 4: like even I know you got something to say.
- 20:01Speaker 7: We spoke on this before, and I never defended the movement,
- 20:04Speaker 7: but I only spoke about where it might be relevant,
- 20:07Speaker 7: and that's in the conversation of reparations.
- 20:10Speaker 4: I never heard of FBA.
- 20:11Speaker 7: I heard the atos American descendants of slaves or slavery
- 20:15Speaker 7: or whatever, and it's another gang.
- 20:18Speaker 2: These are many cults.
- 20:20Speaker 7: Are not used in the cult or gang relation. It
- 20:27Speaker 7: was literally to describe a certain sector of people that
- 20:31Speaker 7: may be entitled to reparations from a different amount or
- 20:36Speaker 7: whatever than other people who are not descendants of slavery.
- 20:41Speaker 7: If the reparations are based off of your ancestors or
- 20:44Speaker 7: slaves on this soil, then it is relevant if your
- 20:50Speaker 7: ancestors or not slaves from this soil. So I get
- 20:53Speaker 7: the conversation. But past that it should not be into
- 20:57Speaker 7: nothing else. Should It shouldn't go any further than that
- 21:00Speaker 7: than just the reparations argument.
- 21:02Speaker 3: So my grandmother's from.
- 21:07Speaker 2: Foundation of American immigrant nigga, maybe.
- 21:14Speaker 4: Not as black as me. You do not deserve to
- 21:17Speaker 4: use that way the same flag as me. Stay in
- 21:20Speaker 4: your place. That's the ship they own, and it's literally
- 21:26Speaker 4: like yo, and there's a lot of hate in it. See,
- 21:30Speaker 4: I'm here for the pride. I'm super here for the pride.
- 21:32Speaker 4: If that's what you want. You're proud your ancestors with slaves,
- 21:38Speaker 4: hold that you're great, right, because my answers was most
- 21:40Speaker 4: likely slaves and another country, right, Fine, different, So fine,
- 21:45Speaker 4: we all come from the same ship. But if you're
- 21:48Speaker 4: proud that you went through the horrors of Chatau slavery
- 21:53Speaker 4: enough chattel enough to create this divide in our community,
- 22:02Speaker 4: I find you ignorant.
- 22:04Speaker 3: You're an imbecile, to be honest, that's a word, imbecile.
- 22:07Speaker 4: You're like, yo, You're like, you're not worth what you said.
- 22:12Speaker 4: You're not worth the argument, Like, why are you arguing
- 22:16Speaker 4: about this? I'm not bothered by you having that distinction
- 22:20Speaker 4: because you deserve reparations from America all of the countries
- 22:24Speaker 4: that were a part of the Transatlantic slave trade. Cool.
- 22:27Speaker 4: You're using it as a weapon against your own people
- 22:31Speaker 4: while we're under attack from this greater force that has
- 22:35Speaker 4: affected all of us in the.
- 22:38Speaker 2: Heart right now.
- 22:40Speaker 4: We're literally under the biggest attacks and civil rights right now.
- 22:44Speaker 4: And this is the time that y'all had taken y'all
- 22:48Speaker 4: literally taking time for this. You're right, You're not worth
- 22:50Speaker 4: the argument.
- 22:52Speaker 2: Mary was FBA too, wasn't she You heard.
- 22:54Speaker 3: When she said it?
- 22:55Speaker 4: Right? She was. I heard what she said it. I
- 22:56Speaker 4: heard what she said you in the convos. She was like,
- 23:00Speaker 4: are we all descending to slavery here? Because I know
- 23:03Speaker 4: I am.
- 23:03Speaker 2: I was like, wait a minute, your grandmother.
- 23:10Speaker 3: No, that's she was a taurist.
- 23:15Speaker 4: Nuts. Now, I don't know if we have FBA people
- 23:18Speaker 4: in the audience. If we do again, I'm not mad
- 23:24Speaker 4: at y'all for being well. I think that if you're
- 23:27Speaker 4: a part of this cult and you don't see what's
- 23:30Speaker 4: around you and you haven't left, I think you're an idiot.
- 23:33Speaker 4: I think that the fact is you can hold that
- 23:35Speaker 4: crown of saying I deserve reparations from America, from Spain, France, Portugal,
- 23:43Speaker 4: all of the people that contributed to Transatlantics. That you
- 23:45Speaker 4: can hold that without being surrounded by idiots, right, that
- 23:51Speaker 4: are attacking your own people?
- 23:55Speaker 2: Yo, sign what if my InTru thoughts about to win?
- 24:00Speaker 2: I'm so sorry. What if there's like a civil war
- 24:04Speaker 2: between like MAGA and FBA, like, because that is a
- 24:08Speaker 2: that is a good that's a good like argument to
- 24:11Speaker 2: have because FBAs most of them have been in this
- 24:15Speaker 2: country longer than a lot of the maga's ancestors. So
- 24:19Speaker 2: that's an argument that could be had. They can do
- 24:22Speaker 2: that on Facebook. Yeah, let's do it, y'all do that
- 24:25Speaker 2: on Facebook. I want to see.
- 24:26Speaker 3: So we can't celebrate junel teenth for real?
- 24:28Speaker 2: I mean this was said because we not really wanted them.
- 24:33Speaker 2: That's the type of shit that they would say.
- 24:35Speaker 4: Though they're really on that, like why are you here? Now?
- 24:40Speaker 4: Let's get it back let's let's roll it back. We're
- 24:42Speaker 4: talking about Mariam real quick, right, and and Troum was
- 24:45Speaker 4: saying she made some good points, did that we might
- 24:50Speaker 4: want to listen to. I have one thing on the
- 24:53Speaker 4: agenda about women today, and it is from her page.
- 24:58Speaker 4: For Mariam's page. I want to know what y'all think.
- 25:01Speaker 4: I'm not saying it's a point. It's something that came
- 25:04Speaker 4: across and it maybe go hum.
- 25:07Speaker 3: All right, well, let's consider the source. I don't know
- 25:10Speaker 3: like that she married, what's up? Background?
- 25:12Speaker 4: Married?
- 25:13Speaker 3: Got kid?
- 25:13Speaker 2: Please please don't do that because I almost didn't go
- 25:16Speaker 2: on the show. She has a child. She has a daughter.
- 25:22Speaker 9: So apparently the Houston Rodeo had to implement a dress
- 25:25Speaker 9: code because so many women were showing up damn near
- 25:27Speaker 9: naked to the events.
- 25:29Speaker 8: And I'm gonna be honest, it was primarily black women.
- 25:32Speaker 9: So we're gonna have a heart to heart black women, Okay,
- 25:35Speaker 9: Because as a black conservative, I am constantly told by
- 25:39Speaker 9: other black women that I don't love being black, that
- 25:42Speaker 9: I don't love the culture, etc. No, this is the
- 25:45Speaker 9: stuff that affirms to me why the black community must
- 25:51Speaker 9: come back to conservative values. You understand, we have lost
- 25:54Speaker 9: our way hear me when I say this, because I
- 25:58Speaker 9: love you and I'm not gonna be one of those
- 26:00Speaker 9: conservatives that gets up here and speaks badly.
- 26:02Speaker 8: About black women. I love black women.
- 26:04Speaker 9: I know that you are misled.
- 26:07Speaker 8: I know that you are just following.
- 26:09Speaker 9: The leading of the people that the Democrat Party puts.
- 26:12Speaker 8: In your face as a good role model. Because how
- 26:16Speaker 8: are you supposed to.
- 26:17Speaker 9: Not dress like this when the people that you look
- 26:20Speaker 9: up to dressed.
- 26:21Speaker 8: Like this, and their wives and their mothers. This is
- 26:25Speaker 8: a mess.
- 26:27Speaker 2: This is a mess.
- 26:28Speaker 8: We need to come back to conservative values.
- 26:31Speaker 9: First of all, stop calling yourself a woman of God
- 26:33Speaker 9: and you're half naked all the time.
- 26:34Speaker 2: I'm gonna just say it.
- 26:35Speaker 8: Stop it.
- 26:36Speaker 9: Read your Bible, allow the Holy Spirit to convict you
- 26:40Speaker 9: and tell you to put on some dagon.
- 26:41Speaker 8: Clothes before you walk out the house. Also, remember that
- 26:45Speaker 8: you have value. Sis you are valuable.
- 26:49Speaker 9: Why should anyone get to see what you.
- 26:53Speaker 2: Look like naked?
- 26:56Speaker 8: Oh I'm just more comfortable. No, you're not.
- 26:58Speaker 9: You're not because you have to adjust and fix everything
- 27:00Speaker 9: every two seconds walking O.
- 27:01Speaker 8: You're not more comfortable like that. You understand you are keeping.
- 27:05Speaker 9: Up with a terrible trend, and it's time for the
- 27:09Speaker 9: black community, black women especially, to hold each other accountable
- 27:14Speaker 9: and with love, steer our entire race back in the
- 27:19Speaker 9: right direction. And you wonder why these black men are choosing.
- 27:22Speaker 2: White women in mass these days.
- 27:25Speaker 9: And I'm not saying that the white girls are not
- 27:27Speaker 9: outside any look at OnlyFans will tell you that there's
- 27:30Speaker 9: a lot of white girls outside. Okay, But when I
- 27:33Speaker 9: see something like this, I have to acknowledge that the.
- 27:37Speaker 10: Pool of black women that black men.
- 27:39Speaker 9: Have to choose from it's not looking too fantastic.
- 27:44Speaker 8: This is a mess. This is a mess. I say
- 27:49Speaker 8: this with love. Black women do better.
- 27:53Speaker 9: Okay, you deserve to respect yourself more. And black men
- 28:02Speaker 9: deserves girlfriends and wives and daughters and mothers that respect
- 28:10Speaker 9: themselves and carry.
- 28:11Speaker 8: Themselves with more class than this.
- 28:13Speaker 9: And I do firmly believe if enough of us change,
- 28:18Speaker 9: the rest will follow.
- 28:25Speaker 3: This is like the Vigo and me. What her body
- 28:28Speaker 3: look like?
- 28:29Speaker 4: Like?
- 28:29Speaker 2: Her body's tea, she's cute like she she's not, maybe
- 28:37Speaker 2: she's not. She's not a mess at all.
- 28:41Speaker 4: She looks good.
- 28:41Speaker 3: Okay, I would think she's doing this. How about how
- 28:46Speaker 3: about you?
- 28:48Speaker 11: Okay, Okay, No, she was.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Like, I'm not talking about what I say. You obviously
- 28:56Speaker 2: she's a beautiful girl, but I'm just saying like her
- 28:57Speaker 2: body was nothing about the way that she shaped this problematic.
- 29:04Speaker 2: I will say that I can calm down. You can't
- 29:08Speaker 2: say that I can't can't marry in something I don't know. Okay,
- 29:15Speaker 2: this is one of those moments that Traum was talking
- 29:18Speaker 2: about a broken clock. There are some truths in what
- 29:23Speaker 2: she said. Is it all the way true? No, once
- 29:28Speaker 2: you start bringing in white men, black men, Democrat Democratic parties,
- 29:33Speaker 2: celebrity da da da, Like, once you start doing all that,
- 29:36Speaker 2: like it waters down the message.
- 29:38Speaker 4: Celebrity when that's what they looking that's what they looking like.
- 29:40Speaker 2: But I'm going to also say that I as a person,
- 29:44Speaker 2: like I don't like the fact that when you ask
- 29:47Speaker 2: someone who you look up to, it's always a nine
- 29:51Speaker 2: times out of ten, it's a person that you never met,
- 29:53Speaker 2: that you don't know, somebody that you just see, Like,
- 29:55Speaker 2: you can't say that your example of a woman is sweetie, like,
- 30:03Speaker 2: w how do we get there? Like you don't know
- 30:05Speaker 2: that lady from nowhere? So like if when I was
- 30:08Speaker 2: younger and I was growing up and somebody was to
- 30:10Speaker 2: ask me, like, who is a ah, a woman in
- 30:13Speaker 2: your life that you would like to model yourself after.
- 30:15Speaker 2: It would be my mom, it would be my aunt,
- 30:16Speaker 2: it would be like, uh, my mentors, like people that
- 30:19Speaker 2: I actually know. I I keep telling y'all that I
- 30:25Speaker 2: grew up in a very conservative Black Baptist household. So
- 30:31Speaker 2: these are things that I've heard my whole entire life.
- 30:34Speaker 2: This is nothing that's new. I do believe that there
- 30:37Speaker 2: is a time and place. I do believe that there
- 30:39Speaker 2: are there are outfits that are acceptable in certain places
- 30:43Speaker 2: that are not acceptable in other places. I am one
- 30:46Speaker 2: of those women that's like, you should not be outside
- 30:48Speaker 2: with your bonnet on and your and your pajamas and
- 30:51Speaker 2: your slippers, like I I hate to see. I really
- 30:53Speaker 2: like that shit, really like bothers me on the inside
- 30:56Speaker 2: because I was not raised that way. I was very
- 30:58Speaker 2: much raised like if your hair is not done, put
- 31:00Speaker 2: on a hat. Okay, now my hair's not that I'm
- 31:02Speaker 2: gonna put on a hat, but I'm not gonna You're
- 31:03Speaker 2: never gonna see me outside with a headscarf on. You're
- 31:05Speaker 2: never gonna see me outside will pajamas on. I'm I Also,
- 31:08Speaker 2: I'm not very conservative conservative in the way that I
- 31:11Speaker 2: dress but I am mindful and where I go. If
- 31:14Speaker 2: I am gonna wear short shorts, I'm not gonna wear
- 31:17Speaker 2: a crop top. I'm not gonna wear a tub top.
- 31:19Speaker 2: If I have if my arms are out, my legs
- 31:21Speaker 2: are covered. If my legs are out, my arms are
- 31:24Speaker 2: mostly covered. I have on like a jacket A show like.
- 31:26Speaker 2: These are the things that I was raised to understand.
- 31:29Speaker 2: And I get that you can't. You should not be
- 31:33Speaker 2: coming to your kid's school any your kind of way,
- 31:35Speaker 2: just wearing anything looking like you just came from the club.
- 31:38Speaker 4: Like.
- 31:38Speaker 2: There are certain things that I agree with, and I
- 31:41Speaker 2: do think that as a community, we can do better
- 31:46Speaker 2: on I see a lot of shit and I think
- 31:49Speaker 2: it's disgusting.
- 31:50Speaker 5: I agree with you. There's a time in the place.
- 31:52Speaker 5: There's that I see people. I'm a manager at my job,
- 31:55Speaker 5: so I see people coming to interviews. I'm like, that's
- 31:57Speaker 5: what you just, that's what you want.
- 31:59Speaker 4: Oh lot me crazy.
- 32:01Speaker 3: It drives me crazy.
- 32:02Speaker 5: I actually the resume where somebody got their gym picture
- 32:05Speaker 5: on the resume.
- 32:05Speaker 3: I don't know you put pictures on the resumes, but
- 32:07Speaker 3: that you can.
- 32:08Speaker 2: But you put a professional headshot like a little circle
- 32:10Speaker 2: on your resume. Like I judge people by their resumes too,
- 32:13Speaker 2: But that's another story I'm.
- 32:14Speaker 5: Gonna show you later. But so is a time and
- 32:17Speaker 5: the place. However, I do now, I do kind of shame.
- 32:20Speaker 5: Where you know, the bakery is open and you got
- 32:24Speaker 5: like six rolls and you wearing the crop top.
- 32:25Speaker 3: I don't think you should be doing that.
- 32:26Speaker 2: Love your body, but where was body? Where's your body?
- 32:33Speaker 5: Yes that you like that bakery should be open in
- 32:39Speaker 5: the bedroom, I don't.
- 32:40Speaker 3: I don't want to see that, you know.
- 32:42Speaker 2: Where with the children. Don't want to see it either, But.
- 32:44Speaker 5: I just feel like, as black people, why are you
- 32:48Speaker 5: still trying to bring us down?
- 32:50Speaker 3: Like you could quietly judge in your head and say, hey,
- 32:52Speaker 3: you shouldn't.
- 32:52Speaker 5: Be wearing that, but you got a rodeo and having
- 32:55Speaker 5: a great time, and you want to feel like you
- 32:57Speaker 5: could wear those shorts.
- 32:58Speaker 4: It's in Daisy Dudes, a white thing, Daisy Duke from.
- 33:05Speaker 2: No white people, white people take everything because.
- 33:07Speaker 4: It was dukes of hazard. It was Daisy dukes from.
- 33:10Speaker 2: Yeah, but we already had we had batty riders and
- 33:13Speaker 2: all the rest of them.
- 33:15Speaker 4: But we're talking about.
- 33:19Speaker 2: It looks different on them because and that's the other
- 33:21Speaker 2: part because white girls, they be out of pocket. The
- 33:24Speaker 2: one inch seam shorts that these holes we wearing is
- 33:27Speaker 2: diabolical just because you don't have the hips and the
- 33:29Speaker 2: thighsand and of cheeks, and it's like it's still not okay. Yes,
- 33:34Speaker 2: and then they have little girls. They little girls wear
- 33:37Speaker 2: these one inch seam two inch seams shorts way more
- 33:40Speaker 2: than hours. But when we if our kids wear it,
- 33:43Speaker 2: we're gonna have way more to say about it, because
- 33:45Speaker 2: no matter like not, no matter what, there are still
- 33:47Speaker 2: a lot of black people that have those conservative values.
- 33:51Speaker 2: I am an advocate of bring back shame. I am
- 33:55Speaker 2: an advocate of somebody gotta be able to tell us
- 33:59Speaker 2: about ourselves. Like I don't want to say it in
- 34:02Speaker 2: in harm or in judgment. However, y'all do be looking
- 34:07Speaker 2: a mess like Natalie None being your og and you
- 34:10Speaker 2: dressed like this is a problem for me. I'm sorry,
- 34:14Speaker 2: I'm tired of it. I am tired of it, and
- 34:16Speaker 2: I don't want my kid to see it, and I
- 34:18Speaker 2: don't want to be young.
- 34:20Speaker 5: Everybody that they can do it, it's like get the.
- 34:26Speaker 4: Because I'm a man, so I don't really know, right,
- 34:29Speaker 4: I don't know, and I'm in this whole freedom, pride, fluidity, space, right,
- 34:37Speaker 4: So I really don't know what to think. I really
- 34:38Speaker 4: don't know. I'm honestly confused about the whole thing because
- 34:42Speaker 4: to me that I would say that's patriarchy or this
- 34:46Speaker 4: is coming from a man's view of a woman and
- 34:49Speaker 4: a man telling the woman, because we don't tell men
- 34:51Speaker 4: how to.
- 34:51Speaker 2: Dress, and we should because y'all be looking at message.
- 34:54Speaker 4: Pants up off the ass? Where are we really? Like?
- 34:58Speaker 4: I don't even know what to think about this, to
- 35:00Speaker 4: be honest.
- 35:01Speaker 5: I think she's what they can say, rage bathing. I
- 35:04Speaker 5: think she's doing it for content. I don't think she believes.
- 35:07Speaker 4: In that any really.
- 35:09Speaker 2: Yeah, she is far going. She believed it, she believed
- 35:13Speaker 2: every bit of it.
- 35:14Speaker 11: Yeah, but we're agreeing with some of it. So I
- 35:16Speaker 11: do think that it's it's just I just don't like
- 35:19Speaker 11: how you bringing down black women. You couldn't generalize and say, listen,
- 35:23Speaker 11: look how you dressed in public.
- 35:25Speaker 2: But when you're when you consider yourself a pro black maga, like,
- 35:30Speaker 2: I can understand why she's centering black women because that
- 35:33Speaker 2: is her folk. Her folk is black women or black
- 35:36Speaker 2: people being better. That's what I'm saying. Like, there's not there.
- 35:40Speaker 2: There are truths in everything.
- 35:42Speaker 3: The FBA should get drafted towards first before we get drafted.
- 35:46Speaker 4: But so the the Kamala Harris uh presidential run bringing
- 35:53Speaker 4: Megan on state, that was a big problem for a
- 35:56Speaker 4: lot of black that was a lot.
- 35:57Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know why.
- 35:59Speaker 4: Cardi endorsement and the fact that it's like they feel
- 36:03Speaker 4: like these women who do not represent quote unquote Black
- 36:06Speaker 4: women in the best light, seem to be being pushed
- 36:12Speaker 4: the idolization of them.
- 36:15Speaker 2: But they represent an archetype of Black women, and they
- 36:18Speaker 2: represent an archetype of Black women voters that you want
- 36:22Speaker 2: to get. It's it's like, did I like to make
- 36:26Speaker 2: the stallion thing? I could have? I could have, it
- 36:30Speaker 2: could have not happened, and I would have been perfectly fine.
- 36:32Speaker 2: But there is a group of women that that bought
- 36:36Speaker 2: them to wanting to see what's going on with politics
- 36:38Speaker 2: and whatever the case may be. Then what political rue?
- 36:41Speaker 2: Did they have strippers in the fucking commercial? Was that Biden?
- 36:46Speaker 2: Was that Joe Biden when they when they had like
- 36:48Speaker 2: these stripper bitches in the commercials? I swear for god,
- 36:51Speaker 2: I think it was.
- 36:54Speaker 7: No.
- 36:54Speaker 2: I really do think that it was Biden like, I'm gonna.
- 36:57Speaker 5: Look it up, bring awareness to get people to go vote. Yes,
- 37:00Speaker 5: and the amount of people.
- 37:01Speaker 3: That still didn't go vote, Like if I was did again,
- 37:03Speaker 3: that'll be a number one deal breaker. Did you vote?
- 37:05Speaker 5: If you didn't vote, it's a deal breaker for me
- 37:07Speaker 5: completely because it's like, now, look where we're in and
- 37:10Speaker 5: you got to you think you have the right to complain.
- 37:11Speaker 5: So I think with the short time that she had,
- 37:15Speaker 5: it was just to get people say, go to the polls,
- 37:17Speaker 5: Go to the polls. Didn't work, of course, not look
- 37:19Speaker 5: where we are today.
- 37:21Speaker 2: See yeah, meet the pole dancers urging Americans to vote.
- 37:26Speaker 2: It was in twenty twenty. I remember this in the pandemic.
- 37:28Speaker 2: I remember seeing a commercial of strippers like go vote.
- 37:35Speaker 3: They was black, that's crazy, he probably it was Atlanta.
- 37:45Speaker 4: I'm glad Mary didn't know about that. You have a
- 37:48Speaker 4: white man using black sisters, black women as strippers.
- 37:51Speaker 2: I just want I want us to I want us
- 37:53Speaker 2: to not I don't want black women to be more
- 37:57Speaker 2: conservative per se, but I do want us to have
- 38:00Speaker 2: have more discernment when we go outside. I do not
- 38:03Speaker 2: want to see you and your thong bikini at motherfucking
- 38:07Speaker 2: wild Water Kingdom, Like I want you to I want
- 38:10Speaker 2: you to understand that there is a time and a place,
- 38:12Speaker 2: and I do understand that there is racism and patriarchy
- 38:16Speaker 2: and all of the things that are assigned to like
- 38:18Speaker 2: dress codes and stuff like that. But we're kind of
- 38:22Speaker 2: also doing it to ourselves because we have to understand
- 38:25Speaker 2: that you just can't come outside look in any your
- 38:27Speaker 2: kind of way. Look at look at the kids nowadays.
- 38:30Speaker 2: Look at what the kids are doing and how the
- 38:31Speaker 2: kids are dressing. It's not okay. But then it also
- 38:34Speaker 2: goes into a larger conversation that we've had before, like
- 38:37Speaker 2: even the men, like y'all don't even y'all don't even
- 38:39Speaker 2: dress like that. No more niggas put on jasus niggas
- 38:42Speaker 2: in a T shirt to go everywhere, Like where are
- 38:44Speaker 2: your hard bottom shoes? Where is your your your overcoat?
- 38:47Speaker 2: Where is your blazer? Like niggas don't even have that.
- 38:50Speaker 2: And I'm not even looking at him because I knew
- 38:52Speaker 2: he was gonna take it, but I'm just saying, like,
- 38:54Speaker 2: y'all gotta like do better.
- 39:00Speaker 4: That was the conversation that have Almost somebody has something
- 39:02Speaker 4: they want to say.
- 39:03Speaker 7: Well, a couple of things I wanted to ask dog
- 39:06Speaker 7: a question, but also it was funny. I was just
- 39:08Speaker 7: thinking about that. I wear sneakers all the time. I
- 39:11Speaker 7: went to a black tie event last night and I
- 39:13Speaker 7: had sneakers.
- 39:14Speaker 2: Sneakers in a suit.
- 39:15Speaker 4: Yeah, I do that all the time.
- 39:17Speaker 2: I know you do, right, So here's the thing.
- 39:20Speaker 7: And a lot of a lot of black men that
- 39:22Speaker 7: actually are well dressed do that too. I think it's
- 39:24Speaker 7: more of a trend than anything. The only time I
- 39:27Speaker 7: wear shoes now is if it's like a funeral, you
- 39:29Speaker 7: know what I mean. I just don't wear shoes. I'm
- 39:31Speaker 7: also a DJ, so it's like I don't need to
- 39:34Speaker 7: be as dressed. I think it's appropriate for what I'm
- 39:36Speaker 7: doing there. I'm in a creative space, right. So you
- 39:40Speaker 7: don't have got mad shoes that I have not worn.
- 39:43Speaker 7: I got shoes as brand new.
- 39:45Speaker 2: So when you go on on a date, you wear sneakers.
- 39:48Speaker 4: I don't date. No, I'm talking about he's never dated,
- 39:53Speaker 4: he's gone on dates, You've gone your data, you go
- 40:00Speaker 4: on dat?
- 40:02Speaker 2: Yeah no, that's crazy. My favorite thing to do on
- 40:05Speaker 2: date night is to match, like we re coordinate with
- 40:08Speaker 2: each other's vibe. If I'm gonna put on shoes or
- 40:10Speaker 2: heal he's gonna put on a loafer or boot or
- 40:14Speaker 2: something like, he's not gonna just put on a pair
- 40:17Speaker 2: of Jordans and jeans and a motherfucking T shirt for
- 40:20Speaker 2: date night vibe. I don't wear it's not even but
- 40:28Speaker 2: just because it's a Gucci sneaker, don't make it not
- 40:30Speaker 2: a necessarily mean.
- 40:31Speaker 7: I mean, like a plain white sneaker. Like now, I'm
- 40:34Speaker 7: not talking about Nike air Force one.
- 40:36Speaker 2: I know what you're talking about.
- 40:37Speaker 4: So that's one thing. So the other.
- 40:42Speaker 7: The question I had to you guys, and we kind
- 40:44Speaker 7: of talked about this on the podcast a while ago,
- 40:46Speaker 7: but I don't remember your response. So I agree with
- 40:49Speaker 7: you that there's a time and place for discernment with
- 40:51Speaker 7: how you dress. How do you feel about because I
- 40:54Speaker 7: noticed this, especially around here, I'll see a white woman
- 40:57Speaker 7: jogging with some little short with shit and it does
- 41:02Speaker 7: not look as crazy as me because she don't got
- 41:05Speaker 7: nobody exactly.
- 41:07Speaker 4: How do you.
- 41:07Speaker 7: Feel do you feel like the same outfit a black
- 41:11Speaker 7: curvy woman should or should not wear it in the
- 41:14Speaker 7: same environment.
- 41:15Speaker 2: What do you think as a black curvy woman that
- 41:18Speaker 2: has been on the the adverse of that conversation, literally
- 41:23Speaker 2: my entire life. I hate it. I hate that I
- 41:27Speaker 2: can put on something that is deemed acceptable or professional
- 41:33Speaker 2: and it looks crazy on me just because of the
- 41:35Speaker 2: way that I'm shaped, and another person doesn't have to
- 41:38Speaker 2: do the same thing. I have left jobs for stuff
- 41:40Speaker 2: like that because it's very discriminatory, because I can't help
- 41:45Speaker 2: the way that I'm shaped, So I don't need to
- 41:47Speaker 2: be pulled into conversations and into offices and shit like that.
- 41:51Speaker 2: Like I can have on a fucking pencil skirt which
- 41:54Speaker 2: is appropriate for work, but it looks different on me.
- 41:58Speaker 2: So again, so do I have to walk around in
- 42:01Speaker 2: a burka to be appropriate?
- 42:03Speaker 10: No?
- 42:03Speaker 2: I don't. That's not that's not okay. Differently, I can't
- 42:08Speaker 2: help that. Different I cannot help.
- 42:10Speaker 4: Yes, you can appropriately.
- 42:12Speaker 7: To your body, I will say this does with great
- 42:15Speaker 7: power comes great responsibility. Less for curves, you can't do
- 42:20Speaker 7: the same thing that a flat bodycake woman could do.
- 42:23Speaker 2: No, because but then, but then that is that's where
- 42:25Speaker 2: the discriminatory practices come from when we're talking about dress
- 42:29Speaker 2: codes and stuff. Because if the dress code says that
- 42:33Speaker 2: you have to make sure that your skirts are under
- 42:35Speaker 2: your knees or you have to make sure that your
- 42:37Speaker 2: arms are covered at all times, or that you have
- 42:40Speaker 2: to like if that is a part of the dress code,
- 42:42Speaker 2: and I am within the realms of that dress code,
- 42:45Speaker 2: but it just sits differently on my body. You actually
- 42:48Speaker 2: can't say.
- 42:48Speaker 7: Shit to me technically, but you kind of know what's appropriate.
- 42:52Speaker 7: You work around kids. I work around kids, and you
- 42:54Speaker 7: know what's appropriate giving your body type and things of
- 42:57Speaker 7: that nature. I'll give you about that though. I'll give
- 43:00Speaker 7: you an examples as a man me working in hot
- 43:05Speaker 7: weather in the summertime. Is is something certain men like if
- 43:09Speaker 7: you're in the gym and you got big muscles, whatever,
- 43:12Speaker 7: and you wear a tank top, it looks different than
- 43:15Speaker 7: a man that is just wearing a tank top. And
- 43:18Speaker 7: maybe it's not doesn't have all the muscles, it just
- 43:21Speaker 7: has a regular figure shape or whatever describe that. But
- 43:25Speaker 7: it looks different.
- 43:28Speaker 2: Nigga look crazy, look different on different people.
- 43:33Speaker 7: So that's what I'm saying. It's the same tank top,
- 43:35Speaker 7: but depending on who's wearing it and what your body
- 43:37Speaker 7: shape is, I think it matters. You can't be like
- 43:39Speaker 7: it's technically you're not doing nothing wrong. You're wearing the
- 43:41Speaker 7: same ship.
- 43:42Speaker 4: Are we policing women's bodies with this conversation.
- 43:44Speaker 2: We're policing, Yes, it's big on police and women's bodies.
- 43:47Speaker 2: Bring up the men's.
- 43:47Speaker 7: Part, and then we brought up men wearing the pants
- 43:51Speaker 7: too low and all that. Like, I think it's a
- 43:52Speaker 7: matter of what's appropriate.
- 43:57Speaker 12: To think about the last time someone told you to
- 44:03Speaker 12: be professional?
- 44:04Speaker 8: What do they actually mean?
- 44:07Speaker 12: Don't you emotion dress a certain way, speak in a
- 44:10Speaker 12: particular tone, use specific language.
- 44:13Speaker 8: Here's what's fascinating. If you ask ten.
- 44:15Speaker 12: Different people to define professional behavior, you'll get ten different answers. Yet,
- 44:20Speaker 12: somehow we all instinctively know when someone's being unprofessional, or
- 44:25Speaker 12: at least we think we do. Right now, millions of
- 44:28Speaker 12: workers are code switching every day, changing how they speak, dress,
- 44:32Speaker 12: wear their hair, and express themselves to fit some invisible.
- 44:36Speaker 8: Standard of professionalism.
- 44:38Speaker 12: Women are told not to be too emotional, while men
- 44:42Speaker 12: are praised for being passionate. In some situations, people with
- 44:46Speaker 12: non Western names anglicize them on resumes. Natural hairstyles are
- 44:51Speaker 12: deemed unprofessional in some workplaces, while straight hair is considered
- 44:56Speaker 12: the default professional look. Ever, see the cover of my
- 44:59Speaker 12: first book, Career Mapping. Yep, that was me professional look
- 45:03Speaker 12: fifteen years ago, relaxed colored hair at all.
- 45:07Speaker 8: But here's the question nobody's really asking.
- 45:09Speaker 12: Who decides what counts as professional in the first place,
- 45:13Speaker 12: and more importantly, whose culture, whose class, background, whose way
- 45:19Speaker 12: of being in the world became the template that everyone
- 45:22Speaker 12: else had to conform to.
- 45:25Speaker 5: Yeah, I've had that struggle every job to this day.
- 45:32Speaker 10: Me.
- 45:32Speaker 5: I'm a person who talk with their hands a lot,
- 45:34Speaker 5: and that's me expressing myself, trying to get the words out.
- 45:37Speaker 3: I don't know what it is.
- 45:38Speaker 5: I just talked about who I'm doing it now, and
- 45:41Speaker 5: as a person that holds meetings and everything, I had
- 45:45Speaker 5: somebody tell me, oh, you shouldn't speak with your hands
- 45:47Speaker 5: if it comes off as aggressive. Aggressive to who like
- 45:51Speaker 5: I'm saying great things, like guys, we're doing a great job.
- 45:53Speaker 3: Let's keep doing this. How's that aggressive?
- 45:57Speaker 5: Or I get told where I come in, I'll come
- 46:00Speaker 5: to work just being myself.
- 46:01Speaker 3: I'm not cold switching, and I'm gonna make.
- 46:03Speaker 5: A joke about something to where like somebody on a
- 46:06Speaker 5: corporate level came up to me, she was like, I
- 46:08Speaker 5: already have a podcast.
- 46:09Speaker 3: Can you kind of.
- 46:10Speaker 5: Help me, like what tips you have for me? And
- 46:12Speaker 5: I'll be like all right, well you do. I'm just
- 46:14Speaker 5: being myself and I think I give respected for that.
- 46:16Speaker 5: But then you get the other side, like, well maybe
- 46:18Speaker 5: she'd just clean this up a little bit. Nobody will
- 46:20Speaker 5: ever take you serious.
- 46:22Speaker 3: I was like, okay, and I'll just say I'm not
- 46:24Speaker 3: white enough. I'm not white enough.
- 46:26Speaker 2: I mean, switch, yeah, I do.
- 46:33Speaker 4: I always think about the effect on the room, specifically
- 46:39Speaker 4: with your job children, right, if we're talking about that,
- 46:42Speaker 4: not talking about corporate America. Maybe so, because the women's
- 46:47Speaker 4: body is the source of so much male attention, lust, whatever.
- 46:53Speaker 2: If you show up in a certain way, maybe from
- 46:55Speaker 2: other women.
- 46:56Speaker 4: Or envy from other women. If you show up a
- 46:58Speaker 4: certain way, it affects the room at work. If you
- 47:01Speaker 4: show up a certain way with school, it affects perception,
- 47:06Speaker 4: children's perception, whatever it may be. So well, look, honestly,
- 47:11Speaker 4: me personally, I don't know how much I care about
- 47:14Speaker 4: this because I always like the sexy teachers.
- 47:18Speaker 2: But but that's the thing, right, But but that's not
- 47:22Speaker 2: you being a piece of ship because back when you
- 47:24Speaker 2: were in school, and I'm not even trying to be
- 47:25Speaker 2: funny teachers dress, No, not not no, That's what I'm saying.
- 47:30Speaker 2: What I'm saying, is they dress dangerous?
- 47:34Speaker 4: They would have flakes so.
- 47:36Speaker 2: Crazyous back then? That can you stop? Back then? I
- 47:43Speaker 2: don't think that there was a big question around teacher
- 47:46Speaker 2: professional dress or professionalism and dress. Children have crushes on teachers,
- 47:55Speaker 2: not based off of but it's not based off of
- 47:58Speaker 2: what they wear. It's never been that because kids, just
- 48:03Speaker 2: like adults, Most people like people because of who they are,
- 48:07Speaker 2: what they say, how they come across. You can wear
- 48:11Speaker 2: a suit and tie every day if you if you
- 48:14Speaker 2: have that aura, like the kids say, if your aura
- 48:16Speaker 2: is there, your aura is there. It doesn't matter. Like
- 48:19Speaker 2: for me specifically, I wear suits a lot at work,
- 48:23Speaker 2: Contrary to popular belief, I wear a lot of suits.
- 48:26Speaker 2: I wear suits and Jordan's honestly, But I start Monday
- 48:31Speaker 2: very very professional, and then I get more like lax
- 48:34Speaker 2: to Friday. Because Friday you can dress down, you can
- 48:37Speaker 2: wear jeans, you can wear shirts or whatever the case
- 48:38Speaker 2: may be. That does not stop people from being attracted.
- 48:44Speaker 2: That does not stop even teachers from trying to talk
- 48:46Speaker 2: to you high up. It's still a suit.
- 48:48Speaker 4: You can like somebody for who they are and not
- 48:51Speaker 4: be attracted to them. Attraction comes with some sort of
- 48:55Speaker 4: when you look at a person, whether it's their style,
- 48:58Speaker 4: their body, from the energy shit like that. Say, it
- 49:03Speaker 4: can be just the fact that you wear in the
- 49:05Speaker 4: Jordans and this you got the hat, the tear hat
- 49:07Speaker 4: they like, yo, where you get that hat? Oh yeah,
- 49:09Speaker 4: this old school shit whatever, right, whatever it may be,
- 49:12Speaker 4: they can look at you and be like, oh, I'm
- 49:14Speaker 4: just attracted to the way you put it together or
- 49:16Speaker 4: and that's just one way. But it can also be hips,
- 49:21Speaker 4: breast body, skin tone, eyes, It can be all that.
- 49:26Speaker 2: But then when you think about male professionals, male teachers,
- 49:29Speaker 2: male anything, they don't have hips and and but they
- 49:34Speaker 2: still get the same thing like kids. Kids will still
- 49:38Speaker 2: have crushes on male teachers. So what is the appeal
- 49:40Speaker 2: in that is?
- 49:41Speaker 7: It?
- 49:41Speaker 2: Is it his polo and khakis.
- 49:42Speaker 4: Women just be hot, girl, They just hiding the pants.
- 49:46Speaker 4: They're the first ones to be on.
- 49:48Speaker 3: I can't care about being attracted to the teacher.
- 49:50Speaker 4: Now, girl kissed me in second grade. I didn't even
- 49:52Speaker 4: know what girls were, bro, you.
- 49:54Speaker 3: Knew what girls were tag in second grade?
- 49:57Speaker 4: They just yo, girls be hot.
- 50:01Speaker 2: I always hated that. Don't touch me, bro, No, I
- 50:05Speaker 2: don't like that.
- 50:05Speaker 4: Ship I have uh hmm. This is going to be
- 50:11Speaker 4: an interesting segue. And I'm gonna cut this clip in half.
- 50:15Speaker 4: I just want to hear the first part. It is
- 50:18Speaker 4: a conversation where men on the j BP we're speaking
- 50:23Speaker 4: about men being feminists and not it not being a thing.
- 50:29Speaker 13: It's like, but maybe it needs a rebread Why not
- 50:32Speaker 13: because it shouldn't.
- 50:33Speaker 3: Be worth feminist?
- 50:36Speaker 8: So why because it's support? I know, but it just
- 50:39Speaker 8: sounds that crazy right now?
- 50:40Speaker 4: It sounds crazy.
- 50:42Speaker 13: And then you're a fem minist, like, no, I'm not
- 50:44Speaker 13: a support women.
- 50:45Speaker 2: Don't know.
- 50:46Speaker 13: Doesn't ready for white person to be pro black because
- 50:48Speaker 13: they're not black?
- 50:53Speaker 8: No, I don't.
- 50:54Speaker 4: It's supposed equivalent.
- 50:57Speaker 12: Equivalent.
- 50:57Speaker 8: I'm saying the.
- 50:58Speaker 2: Word feminists sounds crazy.
- 51:00Speaker 8: Lab on a man.
- 51:01Speaker 13: You just kind of word that women exactly why.
- 51:06Speaker 7: You're not.
- 51:06Speaker 8: I'm just saying that we need.
- 51:07Speaker 13: To find another word for men that support women.
- 51:10Speaker 4: Sounds crazy.
- 51:11Speaker 13: Here's what I'm saying in response the idea that a
- 51:13Speaker 13: man supporting a woman or a man having a label
- 51:17Speaker 13: that has women in it, the idea that sounds crazy
- 51:19Speaker 13: to you is exactly why we need words like feminism.
- 51:26Speaker 2: I don't like men that I don't believe. No, many
- 51:28Speaker 2: words to ask questions, ask people to change words because
- 51:32Speaker 2: I don't understand. I know you don't read books enough
- 51:36Speaker 2: to even say that, say some shit like that. There's
- 51:38Speaker 2: no way you don't.
- 51:39Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't know what he doesn't read books. He's
- 51:42Speaker 4: very educated, young man.
- 51:44Speaker 2: I don't. I don't truly believe that you read enough
- 51:47Speaker 2: books that you have an issue with the word feminism
- 51:52Speaker 2: or being a feminist as a.
- 51:53Speaker 4: Male, a man being a feminist.
- 51:55Speaker 2: That's like, that's like a white person or a black
- 51:58Speaker 2: person being upset back in the day, for there to
- 52:01Speaker 2: be a white abolitionist, a white person out that that
- 52:05Speaker 2: that wants.
- 52:05Speaker 4: To help black as a white person does sound weird
- 52:09Speaker 4: to me. I don't know why.
- 52:11Speaker 2: I don't think that that was a false equivalency, though.
- 52:14Speaker 2: I bet that's why I use the word abolitionists because
- 52:16Speaker 2: I feel like abolitionists is a better equivalency to feminist
- 52:21Speaker 2: pro black. You can't be pro black and be white
- 52:23Speaker 2: like you can. You can be an ally. You could
- 52:27Speaker 2: be a pro black ally.
- 52:28Speaker 4: But why is that a false equivalency.
- 52:30Speaker 2: Because it's not because the words are not equivalent, being well,
- 52:34Speaker 2: one is a word and one is a phrase. Don't
- 52:36Speaker 2: get me.
- 52:37Speaker 4: Started feminism as a man. I think it's that that
- 52:41Speaker 4: that sounds the same to me. And I don't know
- 52:44Speaker 4: many words you might be talking about me, but feminine
- 52:47Speaker 4: as a man sounds exactly the same to me as
- 52:50Speaker 4: pro black as a white man as a white person.
- 52:53Speaker 4: Does anybody in here have a pushback on that? It
- 52:55Speaker 4: sounds exactly the same to me. Now, you said you
- 52:58Speaker 4: can be an ally, and that's exactly how I feel
- 53:01Speaker 4: about being a man to a feminist. You can be
- 53:04Speaker 4: an ally for women and ally for the feminist movement.
- 53:08Speaker 4: But it just sounds weird, but sounds and I don't
- 53:12Speaker 4: really care because I've met a lot of men that
- 53:15Speaker 4: have said that they're feminists. I'm not going to fight
- 53:16Speaker 4: you on it.
- 53:17Speaker 7: It sounds weird, But the best thing I can say
- 53:19Speaker 7: is I think dodges on the right path. Like you
- 53:22Speaker 7: could look up the definition of feminism pro black is
- 53:25Speaker 7: there's no real definition to it. It's just the term.
- 53:29Speaker 7: So a man can technically be a feminist. I don't
- 53:33Speaker 7: know if you can say the same. You know, I
- 53:37Speaker 7: think it's the same.
- 53:38Speaker 6: I think being being a feminist is being an advocate
- 53:41Speaker 6: for so I feel like, yeah, by the virtual into
- 53:45Speaker 6: the to the white person being pro back, like if
- 53:48Speaker 6: being pro black is being an advocate for black culture,
- 53:51Speaker 6: black stuff, then yeah, it's it's just it's just being
- 53:53Speaker 6: an advocate. That's why would be that saying it's so
- 53:55Speaker 6: stupid because it's like, yeah, men can be advocates, Like
- 53:59Speaker 6: why we who's arguing is being advocate for something like feminism?
- 54:03Speaker 4: Okay, now that I get that makes sense?
- 54:07Speaker 7: Right, I get it depends on how you define pro black.
- 54:12Speaker 7: For me, pro black means you put.
- 54:13Speaker 2: Black people first, yes, and I agree.
- 54:16Speaker 4: So if you're white, yea.
- 54:21Speaker 2: And that's why I use abolitionists instead of pro black
- 54:24Speaker 2: in that analogy because for me, that doesn't you can't
- 54:27Speaker 2: be pro me because to be pro you have to
- 54:30Speaker 2: be anti something. So you can't be white and say
- 54:34Speaker 2: that you're pro black because a lot of pro black
- 54:37Speaker 2: people is the black people first. I'm here for the
- 54:42Speaker 2: the advance mean, thank you, the advancement of black people
- 54:47Speaker 2: first before anybody else. The same way, when you have
- 54:50Speaker 2: pro white, you could be pro white, you could be
- 54:53Speaker 2: pro black, but we can't be pro each other.
- 54:57Speaker 4: Pro white sounds RAI.
- 54:59Speaker 2: That's why they say pro black sounds racist according to them.
- 55:01Speaker 2: But they don't understand the word racist. And if they
- 55:04Speaker 2: don't understand the definition of racism, you would say some
- 55:08Speaker 2: stupid shit like that.
- 55:08Speaker 4: I thought pro white was maga.
- 55:12Speaker 2: They're not maga. They won't they won't admit that.
- 55:15Speaker 4: I'm evangelical, evangelical.
- 55:19Speaker 2: Very white, par.
- 55:21Speaker 4: White par yeah. Man. I always look at white people
- 55:25Speaker 4: that say they pro black. It's like, how like I
- 55:28Speaker 4: wouldn't never want another race to be like, put first
- 55:33Speaker 4: before mine. Not that I don't want them to have equal,
- 55:37Speaker 4: but put them above now. Obviously, with the suffering of
- 55:42Speaker 4: black people, I can understand a white person saying, nah,
- 55:44Speaker 4: they deserve it. They've been through some shit, bro, and
- 55:46Speaker 4: they still going through shit every I can understand that,
- 55:49Speaker 4: But for them to say pro black, it just sounds
- 55:52Speaker 4: like weird.
- 55:54Speaker 2: You know what's so crazy when it comes to words.
- 55:57Speaker 2: I don't believe in equality. And I realized this recently
- 56:01Speaker 2: about myself, because I think that equity is more pivotal
- 56:06Speaker 2: and more important than equality. And I know when you
- 56:09Speaker 2: say like in a sentence, it sounds crazy. But I
- 56:12Speaker 2: don't want to be equal to anybody else. We've already been.
- 56:16Speaker 2: We started the race super late. We should not look
- 56:19Speaker 2: for equality. We need that extra leg up because we
- 56:22Speaker 2: were disenfranchised for so long, so it's not supposed to
- 56:26Speaker 2: be equal. I don't want to be equal to white people.
- 56:28Speaker 2: I want to be equitable. I want to be able
- 56:30Speaker 2: to have the same advantages and the same things and
- 56:32Speaker 2: systems that they were able to have and they were
- 56:35Speaker 2: able to benefit from. I should have as well, if
- 56:38Speaker 2: even more, at a higher level because it was never equal.
- 56:43Speaker 7: Yeah, that reminds me of analogy. I always think about,
- 56:46Speaker 7: like you running a race, right me versus somebody else,
- 56:50Speaker 7: and my shoelacers are tied together to start the race,
- 56:53Speaker 7: and they got a forty yard head start. You can't
- 56:55Speaker 7: untie my shoelace and'll be like, all right, now we're equal.
- 56:58Speaker 2: Now we're equal everybody exactly.
- 57:01Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 57:01Speaker 7: Equity means let me catch up to you, reparations, like
- 57:04Speaker 7: you know what I mean.
- 57:06Speaker 2: I don't even want reparations for real.
- 57:08Speaker 4: Well, I hear you. I'm sorry. I was gonna ask
- 57:11Speaker 4: you something, but real quick, y'all sound like y'all are
- 57:17Speaker 4: giving power to the fears of MAGA hmm, because they're
- 57:22Speaker 4: scared we're going to do them in if we get
- 57:25Speaker 4: too much power. They're scared. They're literally like they're trying
- 57:28Speaker 4: to kill whiteness. So they're trying to like they're trying
- 57:31Speaker 4: to get us out of here. And if you're saying, yo,
- 57:34Speaker 4: I don't even want it to be equal, I want
- 57:36Speaker 4: to have more than you because of what happened back then,
- 57:38Speaker 4: then their fears as a person who was saying, you
- 57:40Speaker 4: know what, yo, I don't want nothing to happen to you,
- 57:43Speaker 4: but I don't want nothing to happen to my people either.
- 57:44Speaker 4: So if y'all feel like that, then fuck that. Y'all
- 57:46Speaker 4: can't get that. I'm gonna put as many laws as
- 57:48Speaker 4: I can, so y'all can't get that, all.
- 57:50Speaker 2: Right, And that's where we are right now.
- 57:53Speaker 7: I mean, if you fear equity, then you have a
- 57:55Speaker 7: scarcity mindset and there's something wrong with the way you're thinking,
- 57:58Speaker 7: and you know the way that American's true equality, then
- 58:03Speaker 7: not equity.
- 58:04Speaker 2: But you cannot give me equality after the race has
- 58:06Speaker 2: already started.
- 58:08Speaker 4: But that would mean that I have to now take
- 58:10Speaker 4: the back seat.
- 58:11Speaker 2: And you don't have to take the back seat. You're
- 58:15Speaker 2: just not getting any more. I'm just I'm meeting you.
- 58:19Speaker 2: I'm meeting you where you are because I can never
- 58:23Speaker 2: catch up to you because you've had such a head start.
- 58:26Speaker 2: So equity, so I love this analogy.
- 58:28Speaker 4: That is going to agree to that, and they're not
- 58:32Speaker 4: going to so that means war, all.
- 58:36Speaker 2: Right, So then if that's what it is, and that's
- 58:37Speaker 2: what it is. But I just don't want to be
- 58:39Speaker 2: another black person that says I just want to be equal.
- 58:43Speaker 2: I don't. I don't because we have to start at
- 58:46Speaker 2: the same point to be equal. The best picture that
- 58:50Speaker 2: I've ever seen when we're talking about the differences between
- 58:52Speaker 2: equality and equity is like there's a baseball game happening,
- 58:57Speaker 2: and it is a fense, right and there are three
- 59:00Speaker 2: people that are on the one side of the fence,
- 59:02Speaker 2: and they're each trying to see the baseball game. But
- 59:04Speaker 2: they're all different heights. So you have a person that's
- 59:06Speaker 2: really really tall. He can see over the fence. He
- 59:08Speaker 2: can see the game. That's perfectly fine. Equality is you
- 59:12Speaker 2: give everybody a box to stand on so that they
- 59:15Speaker 2: can see the game. But if I'm a foot shorter
- 59:19Speaker 2: than you that box, I still can't see over the fence.
- 59:22Speaker 2: I need three boxes. So you don't need a box
- 59:25Speaker 2: because you can already see over the fence. The next
- 59:28Speaker 2: person might need one box so they can see over
- 59:30Speaker 2: the fence. But I need three boxes because I'm this
- 59:33Speaker 2: tall and now we can all see over the fence.
- 59:36Speaker 2: That is what black people need. We need them three boxes,
- 59:39Speaker 2: y'all already. Y'all, y'all can see over the fence, and
- 59:42Speaker 2: there might be like you can because when we talk
- 59:44Speaker 2: about this country, it's like white men, white women, women,
- 59:49Speaker 2: and LGBTQ black people. Right, So you can take white men,
- 59:55Speaker 2: y'all can see over the fence. You're good, White women
- 59:58Speaker 2: or women in general, or white l g b t
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: Q people, you get a box. You can see over
- 1:00:04Speaker 2: the fence. Now, But black women, black men, black l
- 1:00:08Speaker 2: g b t Q people, we need four boxes. We
- 1:00:11Speaker 2: can't see over that whole. That's what I want for
- 1:00:13Speaker 2: my people. I want all of us to be able
- 1:00:15Speaker 2: to see over the fence.
- 1:00:17Speaker 4: Yeah, she smokes me. I felt smoked halfway through. She
- 1:00:27Speaker 4: just got It's just she just kept putting more smoking
- 1:00:31Speaker 4: on the fire book. She was like, yo, and then
- 1:00:33Speaker 4: I got this yo boat. She smoked that ship, holy ship.
- 1:00:46Speaker 3: Don't ask me no questions about it because.
- 1:00:50Speaker 4: It's over. I just think this nigga sick there was
- 1:01:01Speaker 4: nothing left. Let me see with us here, because I
- 1:01:04Speaker 4: wouldn't even prepare for the classes to be over.
- 1:01:09Speaker 14: Boys aren't raised to be men, boys arrays just not
- 1:01:11Speaker 14: to be girls. Yes, and I think that that is
- 1:01:13Speaker 14: the crisis of our society.
- 1:01:15Speaker 8: They just boys, aren't.
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: I love her so much she can't cook it for yo.
- 1:01:23Speaker 4: Hold up.
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: I love their call love. I love their whole video.
- 1:01:26Speaker 2: Yes before I've.
- 1:01:30Speaker 4: Never heard she smoked immediately coming in. That's what I
- 1:01:35Speaker 4: told you that. I told you guys, the whole episode
- 1:01:37Speaker 4: today was really about. I love it.
- 1:01:39Speaker 14: Boys aren't raised to be men, boys arrays just not
- 1:01:41Speaker 14: to be girls. And I think that that is the
- 1:01:44Speaker 14: crisis of our society.
- 1:01:45Speaker 8: There's no real role modeling. They just told what not
- 1:01:48Speaker 8: to be.
- 1:01:48Speaker 14: They're they're terrorized and terrified of anything that feels remotely
- 1:01:53Speaker 14: feminine or female.
- 1:01:54Speaker 8: And actually women are terribly strong.
- 1:01:57Speaker 10: And we know that because if I almost somewhere.
- 1:02:02Speaker 14: Between six and ten thousand years of patriarchy, we still
- 1:02:05Speaker 14: haven't submitted.
- 1:02:06Speaker 8: I don't think we're going to.
- 1:02:08Speaker 14: And if you have to marry us off at the
- 1:02:10Speaker 14: age of nine, then what does that tell you?
- 1:02:14Speaker 10: How afraid must you be of us? You only seek
- 1:02:16Speaker 10: to destroy something that you're afraid of.
- 1:02:18Speaker 8: You would not only need to take.
- 1:02:20Speaker 10: Our voting rights away or take away our right to
- 1:02:22Speaker 10: education because you're afraid of what would happen if we know.
- 1:02:25Speaker 10: You're only afraid of older women and older women having
- 1:02:28Speaker 10: a voice and an opinion and access to younger women.
- 1:02:31Speaker 8: If you're afraid of what they're going to tell other women.
- 1:02:33Speaker 10: You're afraid of sitting with or dating a woman your
- 1:02:37Speaker 10: own age because you might be able to actually see you.
- 1:02:40Speaker 10: So you have to date someone who's barely out of
- 1:02:42Speaker 10: her teens because she won't have your number, because she
- 1:02:44Speaker 10: doesn't even understand the world yet.
- 1:02:46Speaker 14: It's all fear. All of it's fear. It's hatred. It's
- 1:02:50Speaker 14: a mask of hatred, but really it's terror. They're so
- 1:02:53Speaker 14: afraid of us, and it's so sad because that strength
- 1:02:56Speaker 14: that we have doesn't have to be subdued, it could
- 1:02:59Speaker 14: be harnessed.
- 1:03:01Speaker 4: It's my girl, that was that? Was? You agree with that?
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: Yes?
- 1:03:05Speaker 6: Yeah, I ain't gonna lie. She or that sunflower oil
- 1:03:08Speaker 6: right there? Baby?
- 1:03:12Speaker 4: How do you feel about what she just said? You
- 1:03:17Speaker 4: tried to debating, it's.
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: Not I'm not telling the painting.
- 1:03:20Speaker 5: I like that I actually like listening to this because
- 1:03:22Speaker 5: I don't really talk about stuff like this. But I
- 1:03:25Speaker 5: think it goes back to what I said earlier, Like
- 1:03:30Speaker 5: I honestly think the mothers need to take accountability.
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: All the parents. I'm bringing the mothers.
- 1:03:35Speaker 5: It's the it's not the raised there their kids better
- 1:03:40Speaker 5: sons right yesterday on how they raise their kids.
- 1:03:49Speaker 3: That's all I have. I want to hear what you
- 1:03:50Speaker 3: definitely the mothers.
- 1:03:51Speaker 4: It's not the dad, Jesus Christ, but not because the
- 1:03:54Speaker 4: more mothers actually raised the kids in the whole community.
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: Are you talking about black people only.
- 1:04:00Speaker 4: The mothers that even in the white people community, the
- 1:04:03Speaker 4: mothers have more proximity to the raising the rearing of
- 1:04:08Speaker 4: the children than the dad. Now, if we're going to
- 1:04:11Speaker 4: say yo, if we're going to say well, then it's
- 1:04:14Speaker 4: really y'allful because y'all need to be more involved. But
- 1:04:19Speaker 4: the effect that we've seen is from the mothers.
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: Okay, you know that's a conversation I would love to have.
- 1:04:27Speaker 4: Let's do it. Hold on, I got a clip for.
- 1:04:29Speaker 2: It because I just opened up Shire.
- 1:04:34Speaker 8: You are not drowning?
- 1:04:35Speaker 15: Well, what do you call living in an awful dorm
- 1:04:37Speaker 15: with no money and the washing machines broken in the
- 1:04:40Speaker 15: laundry room, and there's some kind of soup coming out.
- 1:04:42Speaker 2: Of the faucet.
- 1:04:43Speaker 8: Marriage, I call it. It's hard. Okay, it's just hard.
- 1:04:48Speaker 15: Dad, And you want me to make it not so hard.
- 1:04:50Speaker 8: You're supposed to do that. I can't.
- 1:04:52Speaker 2: But what good are you?
- 1:04:55Speaker 8: Hey? You made a choice.
- 1:04:59Speaker 15: You just sign I did that you were old enough
- 1:05:01Speaker 15: to get married. You decided to take on the responsibility
- 1:05:04Speaker 15: of a new life because you believe you could handle it,
- 1:05:09Speaker 15: and this family supported that decision after we told you
- 1:05:12Speaker 15: that it was going to be very difficult.
- 1:05:16Speaker 8: What did you think we were kidding? Did you go
- 1:05:20Speaker 8: into this marriage thinking.
- 1:05:21Speaker 15: You're just going to play house and we were going
- 1:05:23Speaker 15: to bail you out of trouble? Corey, this is your life,
- 1:05:31Speaker 15: deal with your life.
- 1:05:35Speaker 8: All I had to say was no, yo.
- 1:05:37Speaker 4: I remember this episode and football.
- 1:05:38Speaker 8: Can we acknowledge that I was the top five TV? Dad?
- 1:05:41Speaker 8: He's not mentioned enough tough five for me?
- 1:05:44Speaker 7: All right?
- 1:05:44Speaker 16: But if you haven't seen this episode, guess what Kury went.
- 1:05:47Speaker 16: I'm to fixed that damn synk himself and him and
- 1:05:49Speaker 16: Tapanga figured it out. But now that I am a
- 1:05:52Speaker 16: father and I'm married, the thing that I take work
- 1:05:56Speaker 16: from the scene now is Amy on them stairs letting
- 1:05:59Speaker 16: her husband father his son, and it was killing her.
- 1:06:02Speaker 16: They kept panning to her to show how much she
- 1:06:05Speaker 16: was struggling. She wanted to step in and save her baby,
- 1:06:08Speaker 16: but she didn't. She sat there and allowed that man
- 1:06:13Speaker 16: to be a father to his son.
- 1:06:15Speaker 8: She allowed that man to.
- 1:06:18Speaker 16: Prepare his boy, who is now a man.
- 1:06:22Speaker 8: And then sometimes, Mom.
- 1:06:23Speaker 2: You gotta just shut the fuck up.
- 1:06:26Speaker 3: God just take it.
- 1:06:27Speaker 16: And I know it hurts, but we gotta prepare these
- 1:06:31Speaker 16: boys to be men.
- 1:06:33Speaker 8: And that's what I am doing.
- 1:06:34Speaker 5: And that's what being raised off for love looked like.
- 1:06:38Speaker 5: I don't know if it's a New York thing or
- 1:06:40Speaker 5: just we was bored off of surviving, so I don't
- 1:06:45Speaker 5: know what love looked like.
- 1:06:46Speaker 3: So that's why my relationships in the past I was
- 1:06:48Speaker 3: looking for that love.
- 1:06:49Speaker 5: So I wish I probably had a two parent household
- 1:06:53Speaker 5: when my mom was married, But I didn't get that.
- 1:06:55Speaker 3: I was that you gotta get out the house by
- 1:06:57Speaker 3: a certain time.
- 1:06:57Speaker 5: You gotta be out. You gotta go outside and learn
- 1:06:59Speaker 5: how to make your own money. Oh when you do
- 1:07:01Speaker 5: get your first paycheck from McDonald's. Been in my ways
- 1:07:03Speaker 5: seven twenty five got into some bills I and I'm
- 1:07:10Speaker 5: not gonna lie this my first time saying it on camera.
- 1:07:12Speaker 5: I resented my mother for that for a long time
- 1:07:14Speaker 5: because it's like that's what she was worried about.
- 1:07:17Speaker 3: Raised me, Oh, you gotta bring.
- 1:07:18Speaker 5: Toilet issue in the house, like raise me on how
- 1:07:20Speaker 5: to be not even so much a man, but how
- 1:07:23Speaker 5: to be love with love? Though you could taught me
- 1:07:25Speaker 5: that with love and that that's what that was a
- 1:07:28Speaker 5: hard loving conversation with a family member compared to all right, well,
- 1:07:32Speaker 5: if you can't contribute to this, you gotta find somewhere
- 1:07:34Speaker 5: else to stay.
- 1:07:35Speaker 2: And it's just like that's crazy. I haven't.
- 1:07:40Speaker 4: And by the way, Mike drop Billy agreed. I think
- 1:07:44Speaker 4: I lived that way too for a long part of
- 1:07:45Speaker 4: my life, and I envied other families I envied like
- 1:07:49Speaker 4: and I kind of I definitely resented my mother like
- 1:07:51Speaker 4: she's angry, you always mean, and it's always like an
- 1:07:55Speaker 4: or else, like you know what I'm saying, and you
- 1:07:57Speaker 4: better like, yo, why why are you doing this? We have?
- 1:08:01Speaker 4: Like why we you know what I'm saying, like, yo,
- 1:08:02Speaker 4: I'm a little human being. I don't I'm not even
- 1:08:06Speaker 4: I don't have the capacity to be with you the
- 1:08:09Speaker 4: way you beef with me. Bro, Like, all right, I
- 1:08:11Speaker 4: messed that up. Why are you angry? Right? So I
- 1:08:14Speaker 4: understand that. But to the point of this video, right,
- 1:08:19Speaker 4: do y'all think as parents, y'all have the capacity to
- 1:08:24Speaker 4: allow y'all child to fail in order to make them
- 1:08:29Speaker 4: better or to let them learn real life lessons. And
- 1:08:32Speaker 4: I'm not talking about fail a test or I'm talking
- 1:08:36Speaker 4: about getting left back or like some shit that will
- 1:08:39Speaker 4: really impact them in order for them to learn a
- 1:08:43Speaker 4: real lesson.
- 1:08:46Speaker 7: Can I go last, Yes, I'll say it's difficult to
- 1:08:52Speaker 7: do that, but I think it's necessary. It depends on
- 1:08:56Speaker 7: it depends on the severity of it, because some stuff
- 1:08:59Speaker 7: leaves a lifelong impact, like, for example, the two things
- 1:09:08Speaker 7: that we hear about most often for boys ended up incarcerated,
- 1:09:14Speaker 7: for girls ended up pregnant too young. Those things, if
- 1:09:18Speaker 7: you can prevent it, that's that's something that you wouldn't
- 1:09:22Speaker 7: want to be Like, well, you know, you gotta learn
- 1:09:24Speaker 7: the hard way, you know what I mean. I don't
- 1:09:26Speaker 7: want my son to have to go to jail to
- 1:09:27Speaker 7: learn the hard way, you know what I mean? So
- 1:09:29Speaker 7: I think there's a cap on that line of thinking.
- 1:09:33Speaker 5: Yeah, really, I mean sometimes you just might have to
- 1:09:38Speaker 5: send them to the jail, to the hard way. It's
- 1:09:41Speaker 5: like my little brother now I got a pushback for
- 1:09:45Speaker 5: saying like he wanted to run the streets, and now
- 1:09:48Speaker 5: he's in jail calling me like, YO, keep putting money
- 1:09:50Speaker 5: in my books.
- 1:09:51Speaker 3: No the fuck?
- 1:09:53Speaker 5: Or you want to answer my calls. I'm not going
- 1:09:55Speaker 5: to stop what I'm doing to give you a jail call.
- 1:09:57Speaker 5: To answer your jail call. Oh Bobby lonely in here, Bro,
- 1:10:00Speaker 5: you chose to go in there before when you was younger,
- 1:10:03Speaker 5: I used to say, you're gonna go to jail or
- 1:10:05Speaker 5: end up dying young, and your friends end up dying young.
- 1:10:08Speaker 4: Luckily you went to jail.
- 1:10:09Speaker 5: So when you come out of jail is up to
- 1:10:11Speaker 5: you what you do with that, right. So I sometimes
- 1:10:14Speaker 5: you might have to send them to jail. I don't
- 1:10:16Speaker 5: think you do. Have to show them a little self harm,
- 1:10:21Speaker 5: a little bit to let you know this this world
- 1:10:23Speaker 5: is real, and like I can have so many conversations
- 1:10:25Speaker 5: with you and show you the right way, but you're
- 1:10:27Speaker 5: still gonna do what you want to do. Okay, Now
- 1:10:29Speaker 5: you have to deal with that by yourself. I'm not
- 1:10:31Speaker 5: even so much by yourself deal with the consequence is.
- 1:10:34Speaker 5: But I'm gonna still be with you, but not holding
- 1:10:36Speaker 5: your hand.
- 1:10:37Speaker 7: I agree, but just not like a long sentence, like
- 1:10:39Speaker 7: a scared, straight moment, slap on the wrists, go through.
- 1:10:42Speaker 2: It, the long sentence. I think the long sentence might
- 1:10:46Speaker 2: have the bigger effect than a short one.
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: It's tough, but we know right from wrong.
- 1:10:54Speaker 5: You outside people, you outside having guns, you're outside selling drugs.
- 1:10:59Speaker 5: You know they are all crimes. Why are you doing that?
- 1:11:03Speaker 5: I said, you don't come work with me. I can
- 1:11:04Speaker 5: give you a job. I want that fast money.
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: Well it's rocket it so yesterday.
- 1:11:13Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I agree.
- 1:11:15Speaker 6: I feel like I understand trying your point, like you know,
- 1:11:18Speaker 6: as far as like the harm aspect and try not
- 1:11:20Speaker 6: to do that. But I agree with Dodge. I feel
- 1:11:23Speaker 6: like in real life you won't have the ability to
- 1:11:26Speaker 6: choose the serious the level of seriousness, so you kind
- 1:11:29Speaker 6: of have to operate from the space of letting them.
- 1:11:33Speaker 6: You know, if if you're gonna, if you're gonna make
- 1:11:35Speaker 6: certain decisions, then you have to accept what comes with
- 1:11:37Speaker 6: that because I'm not always going to be here, so
- 1:11:39Speaker 6: I can't operate like, you know, I can't put you
- 1:11:41Speaker 6: in that mindset because once I'm not here, then it's like,
- 1:11:44Speaker 6: what is your decision making? What's your thought process? How,
- 1:11:47Speaker 6: what's your you know, what's your reasoning? Like I don't
- 1:11:49Speaker 6: want to put your I don't want to set you
- 1:11:51Speaker 6: up to fail when I'm no longer here, So I
- 1:11:53Speaker 6: kind of have to let you fail a little bit
- 1:11:55Speaker 6: in order for you to succeed.
- 1:11:57Speaker 17: In my book, Dodge, did you answer already? You want
- 1:12:04Speaker 17: my answers I do before I go? Yes, before you go.
- 1:12:09Speaker 2: That's that what I'm gonna last.
- 1:12:15Speaker 4: I struggle with my fiance, with her not being willing
- 1:12:21Speaker 4: to let them fail or let them learn from life.
- 1:12:27Speaker 2: So let me go first. Let me go first. Being
- 1:12:32Speaker 2: an educator set me up for success in parenting, because
- 1:12:37Speaker 2: that's part of it. It's part of seeing these young
- 1:12:41Speaker 2: kids that you're pouring all this energy into, your pouring
- 1:12:44Speaker 2: all this knowledge into and sometimes they don't meet the
- 1:12:47Speaker 2: mark and you can love them as who they are personally,
- 1:12:50Speaker 2: you can love their personality and that the things that
- 1:12:52Speaker 2: they are capable of doing, but then also understanding that
- 1:12:56Speaker 2: they are not meeting the mark when it comes to
- 1:12:58Speaker 2: grades and you have to feel them, because if not,
- 1:13:00Speaker 2: you're pacifying bad behavior. I was always the educator that
- 1:13:05Speaker 2: would say, like, I'm fair, but I'm firm. I believe
- 1:13:08Speaker 2: in love strict, I believe in I love you, and
- 1:13:12Speaker 2: I will look you in your face and tell you
- 1:13:13Speaker 2: I love you. But this fifty five is on your
- 1:13:15Speaker 2: ass and I'm not changing it. I don't care how
- 1:13:17Speaker 2: much I love you. I will wipe your tears. I
- 1:13:20Speaker 2: will give you a hug. I will call your mother
- 1:13:22Speaker 2: and tell your mother, please don't put him on punishment.
- 1:13:24Speaker 2: It's not really his well, you know he did da
- 1:13:25Speaker 2: da da da da da da da. But that fifty
- 1:13:27Speaker 2: five is gonna stay right there in that book. That
- 1:13:30Speaker 2: is the type of parent that I am, because I
- 1:13:34Speaker 2: don't want my kid. My trauma is if I die
- 1:13:40Speaker 2: early like my mom did, is my kid gonna be
- 1:13:44Speaker 2: prepared for the world. And I was prepared to an
- 1:13:50Speaker 2: extent based off my morals and values, based off of
- 1:13:54Speaker 2: the things that were instilled in me young enough that
- 1:13:57Speaker 2: when she did pass, I did not go down a
- 1:14:00Speaker 2: path that I could have gone down.
- 1:14:02Speaker 4: It was right there.
- 1:14:02Speaker 2: The lane was open, drugs, gangs, outside, all that shit.
- 1:14:07Speaker 2: It was right there. I remember distinctively the fork in
- 1:14:11Speaker 2: the road when I joined a gang. I don't know
- 1:14:14Speaker 2: if I told you I joined a gay gang before.
- 1:14:16Speaker 2: It was by mistake. I didn't know it was a gang,
- 1:14:17Speaker 2: but it was a gay gang. It was a whole.
- 1:14:19Speaker 2: That's a that's another story. Yeah, for the studs, it was.
- 1:14:24Speaker 2: It was we had crates and everything. It was child
- 1:14:26Speaker 2: I'll tell you that the other day. But I did.
- 1:14:29Speaker 2: I joined a gay gang by mistake, by mistake, under
- 1:14:34Speaker 2: the guise of it being like community family, like looking
- 1:14:37Speaker 2: for that family space, the same reason why niggas joined
- 1:14:39Speaker 2: the Bloods and the crips, Like when you're lost and
- 1:14:41Speaker 2: you're looking for family and you're looking for camaraderie and
- 1:14:43Speaker 2: people that understand you. Like I joined this thing and
- 1:14:48Speaker 2: in a time, it was amazing, and I was outside,
- 1:14:50Speaker 2: I was partying. I'm like seventeen eighty, I'm in all
- 1:14:53Speaker 2: the clubs. I'm at the Lab every Friday. I'm at
- 1:14:55Speaker 2: the Elks on the Saturday. Like I was outside, you understand.
- 1:14:59Speaker 2: And I woke up one and I was like, niggas,
- 1:15:03Speaker 2: we in a gang? Looking at my friends, like, yo,
- 1:15:09Speaker 2: are we in a gang right now? Because like we're
- 1:15:11Speaker 2: inheriting beefs from just because we're a part of this thing.
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: And now we're outside fighting and we're doing I'm like,
- 1:15:17Speaker 2: I don't even know who I'm fighting, but I'm just like, oh,
- 1:15:20Speaker 2: I'm in a gang. What am I gonna do with this?
- 1:15:24Speaker 2: And I remember the day that we went to the house,
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: the little clubhouse, and we're like, actually, this doesn't even
- 1:15:31Speaker 2: feel right, y'all niggas on some other shit. Much love
- 1:15:34Speaker 2: to y'all, but I'm about to do my own thing.
- 1:15:36Speaker 2: Like so, there was that very clear fork in a
- 1:15:39Speaker 2: role where you're talking about police, You're talking about like
- 1:15:40Speaker 2: all of these things that I was a part of,
- 1:15:42Speaker 2: And it's because of the things that were instilled in
- 1:15:44Speaker 2: me young, because I was not babied to death, because
- 1:15:47Speaker 2: I was allowed to fail, because I had a parent
- 1:15:50Speaker 2: that did not make excuses for me. And I'm doing
- 1:15:53Speaker 2: the same thing with my kid. If I say go
- 1:15:55Speaker 2: do your homework and you decide that you want to
- 1:15:57Speaker 2: do half of it and then you get lunch at
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: ten tomorrow, nigga, what you calling me for? You had
- 1:16:03Speaker 2: a choice. Life is about choices. And as a mother, yes,
- 1:16:06Speaker 2: we're nurturing and we're loving and we want to hold
- 1:16:08Speaker 2: on to our babies like, oh, no, it's my baby.
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: I don't want my baby to fail.
- 1:16:11Speaker 4: No.
- 1:16:12Speaker 10: Uh.
- 1:16:13Speaker 2: But I also had to learn that when daddy put
- 1:16:16Speaker 2: his foot down, Mommy, shut the fuck up. I don't
- 1:16:19Speaker 2: care how I feel. I gotta shut the fuck up.
- 1:16:22Speaker 2: And she can cry and she can be in her
- 1:16:25Speaker 2: feelings and she can be go and stomp and like, oh,
- 1:16:28Speaker 2: everybody in this house hates me, you guys, Da da
- 1:16:31Speaker 2: da da. Those words hurt as a mom. But I
- 1:16:35Speaker 2: gotta shut the fuck up, and I can't go run
- 1:16:37Speaker 2: after her, and I can't wipe every single tear because
- 1:16:40Speaker 2: then that becomes a manipulation, and then it turns into like,
- 1:16:43Speaker 2: now you think that you don't have consequences. Now you
- 1:16:45Speaker 2: think there's no consequences to your behaviors at all. And
- 1:16:48Speaker 2: people say all the time like, yo, dads, you're strict.
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm not strict. Like if I say something
- 1:16:52Speaker 2: one time and you do the opposite, a consequence has
- 1:16:55Speaker 2: to come immediately, because that's how it happens in life.
- 1:16:59Speaker 2: I'm to be a dickhead, to be just like the
- 1:17:02Speaker 2: kids that's running around that can do whatever they want
- 1:17:04Speaker 2: and as soon as you get one sembleus of a consequence,
- 1:17:07Speaker 2: it's like, oh, y'all serious, it's not a joke. Nah, nigga,
- 1:17:10Speaker 2: life is not a joke. I'm gonna hold you to
- 1:17:13Speaker 2: that bar into a standard because I love you, and
- 1:17:17Speaker 2: if I didn't love you, then I would pacify you.
- 1:17:19Speaker 2: Or if I didn't think that you can make right choices,
- 1:17:21Speaker 2: then I would make all the choices for you. It's
- 1:17:24Speaker 2: tough as hell, but you have to do it because
- 1:17:26Speaker 2: that is parenting. A lot of parents don't want to
- 1:17:28Speaker 2: be parents. Y'all want to be friends. Y'all want your
- 1:17:30Speaker 2: kids to like you. I don't really give a fuck
- 1:17:33Speaker 2: if my kid like me right now, but I want
- 1:17:35Speaker 2: her to like me when she gets older. I want
- 1:17:38Speaker 2: to build that relationship and report when we're both adults
- 1:17:40Speaker 2: and you get it, because you could like me now
- 1:17:43Speaker 2: and agree with everything I want you to do now,
- 1:17:46Speaker 2: and then you can grow up and be somebody else
- 1:17:48Speaker 2: that I would never want to be around. Because you
- 1:17:50Speaker 2: don't know boundaries, because you don't know limits, because you
- 1:17:53Speaker 2: don't know consequences, I don't have no friends. That's seven
- 1:17:57Speaker 2: you're not supposed to parent. You're not gonna like me
- 1:18:01Speaker 2: right now. You'll be right, right, you'll be right.
- 1:18:04Speaker 4: Some kids don't, though, are not all right sometimes.
- 1:18:08Speaker 2: The parenting for me always.
- 1:18:10Speaker 4: That those kids grew up resenting you for whatever, and
- 1:18:16Speaker 4: they lash out in their life to hurt you. Or
- 1:18:21Speaker 4: there's a balance autonomy away from you.
- 1:18:24Speaker 2: There's a balance that you do it you you you
- 1:18:26Speaker 2: leave your love. There is a balance.
- 1:18:30Speaker 4: Talk to them, talk to her and be like, so,
- 1:18:32Speaker 4: I understand that you're mad, but you did this and
- 1:18:35Speaker 4: this any other but mommy does love you, and you
- 1:18:38Speaker 4: know such and such and such. But this is what
- 1:18:40Speaker 4: happens when you don't do that. Yes, some parents don't
- 1:18:43Speaker 4: have those communications, and.
- 1:18:44Speaker 2: That's the problem. And this is why some people should
- 1:18:47Speaker 2: not fucking be parents. Some people shouldn't be parents. And
- 1:18:51Speaker 2: y'all are not ready. Y'all not ready for the You're
- 1:18:53Speaker 2: not ready for the bad and the good. You're not
- 1:18:55Speaker 2: ready for all of the things. Like y'all, it's so
- 1:18:58Speaker 2: it's easy to lash out in the be upset and
- 1:19:00Speaker 2: to give punishment. It's not easy to go back and
- 1:19:03Speaker 2: say I still love you, to still tuck them in,
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: to still give them a kiss at night, to look
- 1:19:09Speaker 2: them in the face and like, you know what, we
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: had a tough morning. I can't wait to see you
- 1:19:12Speaker 2: later or tomorrow is gonna be a better day. We'll
- 1:19:15Speaker 2: discuss this later. We y'all don't have y'all don't have
- 1:19:19Speaker 2: the emotional stability. I'll be letting these little kids get
- 1:19:21Speaker 2: up under your skin and be rocking your whole day. Nah,
- 1:19:25Speaker 2: go scream and cry here and go take that ship
- 1:19:27Speaker 2: over there. Go to your room. Feel all your feelings,
- 1:19:30Speaker 2: feel all your emotions. We could talk about this later
- 1:19:31Speaker 2: when everybody calm and fluck down. Calm down.
- 1:19:36Speaker 4: I have more that I wanted to talk about with
- 1:19:39Speaker 4: this topic, but we're at the end of the exist
- 1:19:46Speaker 4: boom yeah yo, man, I h this is great. I
- 1:19:51Speaker 4: find it hard being a parent. There is no right way.
- 1:19:57Speaker 4: There's like the written way. You have to do it
- 1:19:59Speaker 4: like this. You gotta be water. You got to be
- 1:20:01Speaker 4: able to morph, You got to be able to bob weave.
- 1:20:04Speaker 4: You got to examine each child with the way you
- 1:20:07Speaker 4: parent one child ain't gonna be the same way you
- 1:20:08Speaker 4: parent the next child. You parent them this child this way.
- 1:20:13Speaker 4: At seven, you have to change the way you parent them.
- 1:20:15Speaker 4: At thirteen, you have to change the way you parent them.
- 1:20:17Speaker 4: At eighteen, you're still parenting at twenty two, twenty five.
- 1:20:22Speaker 4: It is such a fucking journey, Dodge. You nailed it
- 1:20:27Speaker 4: in so many different ways. But you're a person too
- 1:20:33Speaker 4: as a parent. As a parent, you have your own
- 1:20:36Speaker 4: emotional issues, you have your own personality traumas, like you
- 1:20:42Speaker 4: ain't gonna be talking to me like that. Shit just
- 1:20:44Speaker 4: comes from somewhere else for some reason, that's how you respond.
- 1:20:47Speaker 4: Whereas so that might be the way I respond, Right,
- 1:20:50Speaker 4: you don't. You ain't gonna talk to me like that.
- 1:20:52Speaker 4: Who you're talking to?
- 1:20:54Speaker 2: I brought you in, I'll take you out.
- 1:20:56Speaker 4: Trum not gonna respond that way with And that comes
- 1:21:00Speaker 4: from our upbringing, whatever formed our personalities. And so it's
- 1:21:05Speaker 4: just crazy how all of those things affect the way
- 1:21:09Speaker 4: that you communicate with this person that you love to death. Right,
- 1:21:13Speaker 4: you want the best for.
- 1:21:16Speaker 2: Therapy, that's true.
- 1:21:19Speaker 4: But I've also heard that the first person that you
- 1:21:21Speaker 4: have to heal from is your parents. Most times, the
- 1:21:26Speaker 4: first person that you have to heal from is your parents.
- 1:21:29Speaker 4: And that's crazy, Right, did you really have to beat
- 1:21:31Speaker 4: my like that?
- 1:21:33Speaker 2: Yes? You resent thet You probably did because because of
- 1:21:37Speaker 2: what death I think, Yeah, you know, you know what
- 1:21:43Speaker 2: it is. It's not that I think that. I think
- 1:21:46Speaker 2: that when we're when we are attacking our childhood traumas,
- 1:21:50Speaker 2: is very important to remember. Your perspective is the perspective
- 1:21:55Speaker 2: of you and as a child. So you don't have
- 1:21:59Speaker 2: the nuance. You don't have like the outward view. You
- 1:22:01Speaker 2: don't see everything. Like One of the things that I
- 1:22:04Speaker 2: hate more than anything else in the world is when
- 1:22:06Speaker 2: rappers say the teacher told me I was never gonna
- 1:22:09Speaker 2: be nothing. That's not true. I raised you and say that.
- 1:22:13Speaker 2: Nobody said that. I raise you and say that there
- 1:22:16Speaker 2: was more to that conversation. The teacher said, You're never
- 1:22:19Speaker 2: gonna be nothing if you continue to act like this.
- 1:22:22Speaker 2: The teacher said, you're probably gonna end up deading in
- 1:22:25Speaker 2: jail if you continue to do the things that you
- 1:22:27Speaker 2: are doing. Y'all are hearing one part because that part
- 1:22:30Speaker 2: stuck with you, that part traumatized you, and you're not
- 1:22:33Speaker 2: remembering the rest of the conversation. You're not remember like, yeah,
- 1:22:37Speaker 2: when I was growing up, old teachers they were so
- 1:22:39Speaker 2: mad at me. They used to pick on me. But
- 1:22:40Speaker 2: you're not gonna remember how many times they said, jakari on,
- 1:22:42Speaker 2: have a seat jakari On, please sit down, jakari On,
- 1:22:45Speaker 2: please do this. To Carrie On plead. It was the
- 1:22:47Speaker 2: first name to pop in my head. Please Jakarion, please
- 1:22:50Speaker 2: do that. And then when the teacher said, you know
- 1:22:53Speaker 2: what I'm calling you? You're always picking on me. You
- 1:22:54Speaker 2: always calling my mother nigga? How many times I tell
- 1:22:56Speaker 2: you said the fuck down? Foreople say that and you
- 1:22:58Speaker 2: don't remember that part. And when we're talking about healing
- 1:23:02Speaker 2: our traumas from childhood, I had to come to terms
- 1:23:06Speaker 2: with something from that happened with me and my stepdad,
- 1:23:10Speaker 2: because to this day he will tell anybody with ears
- 1:23:14Speaker 2: with two ears that this thing did not happen. And
- 1:23:18Speaker 2: I had to come to terms with the fact that
- 1:23:20Speaker 2: this was traumatic for me. This was a Wednesday for him.
- 1:23:25Speaker 2: He don't he dead ass don't remember because it was
- 1:23:28Speaker 2: not something that was groundbreaking for him. It wasn't something
- 1:23:31Speaker 2: that was stick in his mind thirty years later. So
- 1:23:34Speaker 2: he would say, like, I never did that. I would
- 1:23:37Speaker 2: never do that. Yeah, you don't remember because it was
- 1:23:40Speaker 2: a normal ass day. You went to sleep, you woke
- 1:23:42Speaker 2: up the next day, and it did not impact you.
- 1:23:44Speaker 2: It did not live in your brain and lived in
- 1:23:47Speaker 2: mind for thirty years. And that's a part of that's
- 1:23:50Speaker 2: one part of parenting, which is why you always have
- 1:23:53Speaker 2: to You gotta bring the strict with the love. Is
- 1:23:56Speaker 2: love strict. If you just strict, you're an asshole. Like
- 1:24:00Speaker 2: honesty without love, it's cruelty. And that's the same thing
- 1:24:05Speaker 2: with kids.
- 1:24:06Speaker 4: You talk too much love.
- 1:24:08Speaker 2: I talked too much love.
- 1:24:09Speaker 4: I was giving you Love's the honesty.
- 1:24:13Speaker 3: I would say, the show is over right. I want
