- Thomas: Okay. ⁓ Malcolm: ⁓ this is like off the press. My boy just sent me this. ⁓ Wow. You can't make this up, bro. I ain't even going lie to you. ⁓ Nah, we are. We are. are. ⁓ Thomas: Bro, we're so good, man. Like, we're actually battling multiple diseases right now and yeah. Malcolm: Yeah, and that's a whole nother, like, let's see if we can, so President Trump is going viral for dropping a Drake Iceman edit through the White House TikTok. Let's see what he's talking about. ⁓ wait, my phone, I know you can't see. Thomas: Yeah, say click to exit. Come on, man. But yet, but yet if I make an edit like that at MLK, then I'm highlighting a domestic terrorist. Okay. Right. Malcolm: Yeah, you can, like it's crazy, bro. We said this last episode, like so is like the boys. It's like they can't even make it any more far fetched than what we're actually going through right now. They can't make it any more of a parody than what it is. ⁓ This is jokes, bro. This is jokes. Thomas: people are actually mad at it. it can't be serious, bro. Why are we highlighting? What happened to police business? Well, that's not even police business. I don't know what that is. What happened to federal operations being something serious? Like orchestrated? mean, granted, they were never 100 % fair. I mean, you can look back at what they did. It's like Black Panther Party and what J. Edgar Hoover was doing. I mean, that guy was stu- Malcolm: Yeah. Thomas: that guy was something. like, ⁓ is just unprecedented, bro. Imagine 10 years ago, somebody doing this. Not even five years ago. ⁓ if Biden was posting up talking about he was arresting illegal immigrants, throwing them on the ground like this? They would have crucified him and said, that's not God-like and blah, blah. Malcolm: That's ridiculous, man. Like, it's, ⁓ ⁓ We could go on about this for days, bro, but it doesn't stop. The memes don't stop. The lack of accountability doesn't stop. I don't want to sit here and make this a political rant. This isn't the Joe Rogan. Thomas: It's not even political bro, and they try to say America isn't racist racism doesn't exist Bro, we have people we have there are groups preparing for a race war Against black people I literally can't open up social media and see a post with a black person in it without Hate in vitriol in a comment literally every single point. It could be a family gathering. It could be a basketball game It could be the most peaceful thing I literally saw a video where it was like the average black American family and it showed A lot of families, I actually grew up seeing, it was a mom that worked in a corporate job, a dad worked in a corporate job, brother, sister, went to school, good kids, and then people in the comments were saying .00001 % of black families, or average PG family .05 % of PG, I'm like man, sure it was very Maryland coded, but I'm like that's still more common than people think. People just think all black people are like, Malcolm: Mm-hmm. Thomas: high blood sugar, diabetic, can't read, can't write, can't walk, can't talk. This stuff is ridiculous, And that's why I have to plead with my people to stop doing certain. I'm sick of seeing these videos from PG and Navy Yard and DC. I'm sick of seeing these videos. Bro, yes, they were in there throwing hands in the Chipotle. Yeah, now, the one kid picked the chair up. Malcolm: You saw that Chipotle video? Nah, they were throwing chairs. Like I'm talking about like, and it's crazy. If you've ever watched the boondocks, that isn't, you know the episode I'm talking about where they throw the chairs and people just start rioting? Bro, it is an entire boondocks episode that is that just painted out what we just saw. Why am I so dark? I look dark. Thomas: I think so. I rewatched that show recently. I think, see if you can get your camera to focus on you. It might be focusing on like the wall or something. Malcolm: Yeah, okay. Okay, that's a bet. That's tough. Nah, but yeah, it's an entire Boondocks episode. It's like when you throw a chair, it just starts everything. Like it starts the chaos, right? It's just like, saw that and it's like, it's just like, bro, we have to stop. We have to be civilized because all it was in the comments, it was just people calling us thugs and coons. Like all every word you can, every slur you can think of, bro. Yeah, all of that, bro. So it's just like, man, just... Thomas: It's getting brighter now. You incompatible with society. Malcolm: don't give these people any more ammunition than you know you have to. ⁓ yeah bro, let's go ahead and move on man. Thomas: Please.
