  Speaker 3: That's what we was. That's what to the to pay homage.
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: Y'all seen my video all my life paid homage.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I hear you, bro, that's crazy. Y'all seen the video
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: I made.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: Obviously, we all saw the damn video. I was questioning
• 6:17
  Speaker 6: why Black Americans celebrate July fourth, the Independence day of
• 6:25
  Speaker 6: the masters.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I liked it. Cultural programming. Cultural programming. What does that mean?
• 6:32
  Speaker 6: I mean they get they get Independence Day sales, Independence
• 6:35
  Speaker 6: Day is working.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: But do you get this?
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: So it's cultural programming. They they drained your mind from
• 6:41
  Speaker 6: what the reality of independence, you know is give you
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: some discounts to make you feel like it's something to celebrate.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: I would add to that a lot of us are
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: born from immigrant parents, and they came here to assimilate.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: So they absorbed a lot of American culture without necessarily
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: questioning the origins and things of.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: That understanding of it. We grew up, as you know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 6: the youth absorbing it too. It's time to play with
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: fire cracks like immigrants. So they come with like it's
• 7:08
  Speaker 6: the land of the free because of where they're from.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: Its accents is frying. Stop this, I have to stop.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: It's the end of the free anything. You can do
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: anything in America.
• 7:19
  Speaker 6: So I understand immigrants because where they're from is completely
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: different than they come here for an opportunity, and it's
• 7:25
  Speaker 6: ten times where they're from, it's ten times. So I
• 7:27
  Speaker 6: understand that. But it's Black Americans who were here and
• 7:30
  Speaker 6: really was still enslaves in the back. These motherfuckers, it's
• 7:36
  Speaker 6: celebrating their freedom. You're in the back, your chains, it's
• 7:38
  Speaker 6: cutting through your ankles. This is.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: Your children, your grandchildren, is celebrating your masses.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: Know that this is what this is what I will say.
• 7:53
  Speaker 4: I will say that we don't want to take it
• 7:55
  Speaker 4: too far because of your decades. How many of those
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: decades where you celebrate in fourth of July up until
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: you learned more about your history and about your past,
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: so you can't crucify people that are not quite there yet.
• 8:10
  Speaker 4: Absolutely so I don't want I don't want to do that.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: I think I don't think it's anything wrong with At
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: the end of the day, what was it Saturday? It's
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: a Saturday. That's an excuse alone to party, to do
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: whatever you want to do. It was nice outside this
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: excuse alone to cook out. Like it doesn't really matter.
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: You celebrate however you want to celebrate. You don't celebrate
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: how you don't want to celebrate.

  Speaker 6: no longer property, we are no longer owned by our
• 11:52
  Speaker 6: sovereign nation.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: We our own people, almost the same way as Haiti

  Speaker 6: But if I was to ask you, right, if I
• 15:30
  Speaker 6: feel so much of a way, mal please try and
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: please yesterday, please yesterday?
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: How you feeling today? I just found out you're from
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: North Carolina? Yeah, you know, I foind out things every day.
• 15:39

  Speaker 6: I think nobody can actually be from North Carolina. That's
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: another conversation. He's an attacking.

  Speaker 3: How? All right?
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: Anyway, Yesterday, I love you know that I love it.
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: In today's world twenty twenty six, if I wanted to
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: if I wanted to protest July fourth, what would I do?
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: How could I make it a thing right? How could
• 16:22
  Speaker 6: I make American feeling? Because it's more about the fact
• 16:25
  Speaker 6: that the government. To me, the reason not this this
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: bothered me is because of the situation in the White
• 16:30
  Speaker 6: House today. That's more my problem. The fact that the
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: Confederate flags. You've always had a problem with this, the
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: capital I hate. On the day we were we were freed,
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: proclaim freedom, the Confederate flag, the trees in the States.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: You know, they they was carrying flags of the American
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: flag upside down, So technically that's treeson too.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: That's treason. They a't gonna do. That's man down, that's
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: entry down. That's we've taken it over. They're gonna let
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: them rock though. They're going it's okay, you can't do it.
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: It's actually a law, right, but they're not gonna get
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: in trouble for it.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: And they're walking through this the capital again. Question, So
• 17:15
  Speaker 6: tell your question lies, right, what could you do to protest?
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: Like, really, what would what would.
• 17:20
  Speaker 6: As the individually as an individually, as an individuals or
• 17:25
  Speaker 6: people who felt a way about the mistreatment of marginalized
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: communities and what it stands for?
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Freedom? Life? What is it?
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: Liberty, justice, flight, celebrity, happiness if you ask my opinion, right,
• 17:38
  Speaker 6: forget our generation we're talking about just yms, just used
• 17:43
  Speaker 6: y ms. If Kay Sanod, if Todd Lil If all
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: these streamers I mean got on there and say yo,
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: we're protesting this from this point on, everybody would follow,
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: literally all the all the young kids that have followed
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: them would literally be like.
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're damn right, you know what I mean.
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: So's it's about like using that space to do that
• 18:04
  Speaker 6: that like that. I just I'm just using that that
• 18:08
  Speaker 6: subcategory of individuals, right, I'm not doing them as an
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: example to say, like if the people that have the
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: voice of the ability or the power the power to
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: conform thought, because some of us are just where we
• 18:21
  Speaker 6: follow the we follow the point.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: I can't think of anybody from the Wayian generation that's
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: revolutionary that has a platform. They give those and they
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: know they're not going to they're going to keep the
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: people dowmb to.
• 18:32
  Speaker 5: We grew up on public enemy and ship like that,
• 18:34
  Speaker 5: like where's this generation's now?
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: The generations platform is given ice spice and so I mean,
• 18:42
  Speaker 6: that's supposed to be, by the way, no respect, but
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: I think.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: That, yeah, that's right, grat I don't know, I think
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: that black people, I don't think this is our fight,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: and I don't think that we need to to be
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: silently or abruptly protesting anything, because we are consistently on
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: the front lines, in the forefront of all of the things,
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: all of the revolutionary things that have happened in this country.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: I don't think this is our fight. I think white.
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: People need to go talk to other white people about
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: why they being disrespectful to their country. And I think
• 19:19
  Speaker 4: that Juneteenth belongs to us just the same way that
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: like Black History Month belongs to us, like the same
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: way Women's History Month belongs to women, in the same
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: like we all have our sub sects of things. I
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: don't think it's our responsibility, and I really don't want
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: to see black people in mass doing anything against the country.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: Because why, like, what is the why of it?
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: I agree, you agree, let the patriotic white people fight
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: with the Confederate flag, white people and have that ye
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: stay out of the white people's business.
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, I'm big on staying out of white people business.
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: I didn't even say nothing about them. About the white people,
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: that was more. I didn't say a word because I
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: don't like I'm staying out of white people business.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: At this big age of mine, y'all could do what
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: y'all want to do.
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: Belove it.
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: When when I when that white lady got shot in
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: Minnesota the other day and we're doing with the time,
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: and then all the white we started protesting that black
• 20:10
  Speaker 6: people like, we go sit this one out because we've
• 20:11
  Speaker 6: been trying to I've been trying to tell you for
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: a little while, you know me. So here's what I'm
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: gonna do. I'm gonna just sit home. And it's worse
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: than that. It's them taking the d I. It's the books,
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: the black history out of the schools. It's them taking
• 20:26
  Speaker 6: down monuments or basically saying that we cannot have black history.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: They're taking black history from us.
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: But that also is to subdue us from our kids
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: and the kids that are coming, to subdue them from
• 20:38
  Speaker 6: knowing what the real history is. If I take this
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: away from you to give your iPhones seventeen and say
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: you get our iPhone seventeen or read this book about
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: so they read which when you gonna take eleven years old, right,
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: But that's why that's also so it's about the Confederacy
• 20:51
  Speaker 6: ship and what's happening in the government, but it's also
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: about them trying to strip our identity from us.
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: I don't know if that's necessarily the case, because I
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: think it's bigger than that, right, because like thinking about
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: myself growing up, I did not learn a lot about
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: black history from school or from the curriculum in school.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: I learned it from home. I learned it from those
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: teachers that decided after they were done with curriculum that
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: they wanted to give us the real They wanted to
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: tell us more and teach us more and give us
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: things to read and stuff like that. I learned it
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: from taking extra courses in college. Like this is how
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: I learned a lot of the information that I know.
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: I learned it from even I'm still learning from just
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: looking at certain things on like Instagram and TikTok and
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: they recommended certain books to read, so that I'm going
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: to go out and buy those books. And then like,
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: these are the things that we have to do just
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: to make sure that we preserve our history with our children.
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: But then there's a subsect of black people that still
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: don't know our full history, that are still shocked in
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: a poll, that have no idea what's going on because
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: nobody taught them either. So it's like it's bigger than
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: and thinking about all of the things that they're taking
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: away from us. They always said, like the one way
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: to hide something from a black person is to put
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: it in a book.
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Niggas is not reading.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: We're reading at an all time like Loo at the end
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: of the day is bigger than that, Like they could
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: take everything in the world away or it could all
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: be there, Like niggas is not in droves taking eight
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: kids to the African American Museum or making them rebooks.
• 22:21
  Speaker 6: So why not use a moment like that that is
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: highly heralded to say to make a stance and say, yo,
• 22:28
  Speaker 6: ours is junetee, we were still slaves this day.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: Why not use that in mass.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: But we do. We've started.
• 22:34
  Speaker 6: It's not celebrating that the country's independence and saying no,
• 22:39
  Speaker 6: you were actually still a slave. That's for them. They've
• 22:42
  Speaker 6: made it clear that's theirs, this is ours one hundred
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: years later. That's a stance to make. That's something to
• 22:49
  Speaker 6: really like think about. It would take a reshaping of
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: a whole culture, our culture, isn't that what we need?
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: And then that's again it'll send back to the comment
• 22:58
  Speaker 6: that I made about somebody like man, that's gonna be
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: Inky Stadium right using that I got it, I don't.
• 23:05
  Speaker 6: I don't want to say I don't want to say it.
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: I want to say so I'm not trying to get sand.
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: It goes back to that if that person came out
• 23:12
  Speaker 6: and said, you know what, come July fourth, being everything,
• 23:20
  Speaker 6: not celebrating like that, you are you gonna be like
• 23:24
  Speaker 6: yo jay Z said, we ain't outside blocked being outside,
• 23:28
  Speaker 6: it would it wouldn't be that actually would it would
• 23:31
  Speaker 6: Beyonce came out and said, nobody move on on July fourth, Well,
• 23:35
  Speaker 6: Dodge d that's everything. Everything will If all these people
• 23:39
  Speaker 6: use their ability and their platform, the power that they've
• 23:41
  Speaker 6: been given for whatever their skill set is, and said
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: collectively were not staying for, were not celebrating none of
• 23:47
  Speaker 6: this no more, it shifts the whole tup because everybody
• 23:49
  Speaker 6: following them and looking at them, whatever they say, we're
• 23:50
  Speaker 6: gonna do whatever heir stops people thought we're gonna wear
• 23:52
  Speaker 6: and whatever jay Z puts that we're.
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: Gonna buy So those people now did that right? Not
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: just them, I don't. I use them as an obvious example.
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: What I'm just saying are people that have the platform
• 24:02
  Speaker 6: and the ability on the hold if they came out
• 24:03
  Speaker 6: and said, hey, we need to stand for this, everybody
• 24:07
  Speaker 6: will now follow that lead.
• 24:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah he's cooking because I feel like, I mean, jay
• 24:11
  Speaker 7: Z did have the power to tell the NFL to
• 24:14
  Speaker 7: stop kneeling. So if you have the power to do that,
• 24:16
  Speaker 7: then you have the power to do other things as well.
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: So I feel like it works both ways.
• 24:21
  Speaker 6: I get I get it, disagree why I hear it?
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: I want to know, No, it's fine, just.
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: I want to know. I want to know. I want
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: to know what your thought is.
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: I just like I said to you before, like I
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: don't need somebody else to tell me what to do
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: and what not to do.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Y'all waiting for jay Z and Beyonce stand up?
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: But you can just go put that ship in your
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: group chat and tell your family and tell your friends.
• 24:46
  Speaker 4: And this is why, like you could have a bigger
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: impact by actually talking to the people that you care
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: about and explaining why you don't want to do this
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: thing anymore. Then waiting from a grandiose gesture from a.
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: Stranger, waiting right.
• 24:59
  Speaker 6: Yes, I can put that in my group chat and
• 25:01
  Speaker 6: have my family and reach out to everybody in my
• 25:02
  Speaker 6: family and friends, group and jazz. You can make a
• 25:06
  Speaker 6: post and one hundred million people will see it in
• 25:08
  Speaker 6: a matter of five seconds.
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: Jay Z don't even make posts, but you understand.
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: The point I'm trying to make it.
• 25:12
  Speaker 6: Jay Z can make a post and within five seconds
• 25:15
  Speaker 6: the NFL boycott. Within five seconds, one hundred million people
• 25:20
  Speaker 6: or more on this planet will be watching that and
• 25:22
  Speaker 6: instantly move. At least thirty to fifty percent of them
• 25:24
  Speaker 6: will be moved by what he says and will follow
• 25:26
  Speaker 6: what he says to do.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: Actually, that's kind of fucking sad. Then, if you want
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: to be technical, that's kind of sad. Like again, where
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: my good friend says that I stand for nothing, Like
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: when we're talking about moral compass. I don't need somebody
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: to tell me somebody that I admire for music, or
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: admire for art, or I admire for for literature. I
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: don't need them to tell me or give me the
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: moral compass of what's right and what's wrong. Again, fourth
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: of July, I was sitting in my motherfucking house on
• 25:51
  Speaker 4: my couch. I don't need an audio. I don't need
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: to tell nobody what to do. I'm gonna do what
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: I want to do, what I feel is right. So
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: whether jay Z come out tomorrow and say y'all say
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: come out tomorrow and say I'm gonna do the same
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: thing next year that I did last year, that I
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: did the year before that, that I did the year
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: before that, I don't care.
• 26:06
  Speaker 6: All right, So there's still there's still there's still about
• 26:09
  Speaker 6: there's still how many black people are in this country?
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: Give it.
• 26:11
  Speaker 6: There's about fifty million black people in this country. You're
• 26:15
  Speaker 6: the one individual that said I will do what I
• 26:17
  Speaker 6: want to do and I wanted to do cool. There's
• 26:19
  Speaker 6: about forty nine million other black people that don't have
• 26:22
  Speaker 6: the same mind frame that you have. That you have
• 26:24
  Speaker 6: that you have with the power thinking that you have
• 26:25
  Speaker 6: to say, you know what, I'm gonna stand for something. Nah,
• 26:28
  Speaker 6: most of them be like Jesu, he said, I'm doing it.
• 26:31
  Speaker 6: But that's what we do. We follow the actors, we
• 26:34
  Speaker 6: follow the celebrities. Why people, this is why all the
• 26:37
  Speaker 6: all the platforms have been taken away from people like
• 26:39
  Speaker 6: Dick Gregory and the people that you need to hear
• 26:41
  Speaker 6: that degree die if you forgive me. But I'm just
• 26:43
  Speaker 6: using those examples and they're giving the people again like ice, spice. Now,
• 26:45
  Speaker 6: why do you have a platform to lead?
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Why? How who's leading our generation of young kids? Let
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: me play? Let me play this thing right here. Let
• 26:51
  Speaker 3: me see if he plays a.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Lot of y'all are saying we ain't our ancestors. Y'all
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: still saying that you know what.
• 26:57
  Speaker 10: You're right, you're absolutely right, because the smell of Hennessy glaze,
• 27:02
  Speaker 10: salmon and mac and cheese something to a turkey leg
• 27:05
  Speaker 10: will put the fight for liberation at a pause with
• 27:09
  Speaker 10: a swiftness.
• 27:09
  Speaker 8: You're right, we ain't our ancestors. No, no, we're a
• 27:14
  Speaker 8: little We're worse than that. We ain't dying about this shit.
• 27:18
  Speaker 8: They did all the work. We think we got a pause.
• 27:20
  Speaker 8: We ain't organizing like our ancestors, you know what we're doing. Instead, Instead,
• 27:24
  Speaker 8: you see a white.
• 27:25
  Speaker 10: Man jigging, and now you can't run fast enough to
• 27:28
  Speaker 10: let him know that he's invited to the cookout.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: You are absolutely right. We are not our ancestors. Oh no,
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: we ain't. We soft.
• 27:41
  Speaker 8: I ain't nobody invited to the cookout?
• 27:45
  Speaker 10: Let me say, ain't nobody invited.
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: To the cookout? That's not black.
• 27:49
  Speaker 8: I don't give a damn if they know the word
• 27:51
  Speaker 8: to a little boozy salt, or they can do the googy,
• 27:55
  Speaker 8: or they can corn row.
• 27:57
  Speaker 10: Ain't nobody invited to the cookout?
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Do you hear me?
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: Okay?
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Are we invited to reparations? Oh?
• 28:06
  Speaker 8: We're still getting lopsided unfair sentences while others are getting
• 28:10
  Speaker 8: lenien tea.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Oh oh my man.
• 28:14
  Speaker 10: No, But enjoy your little brunch though, because you know our.
• 28:19
  Speaker 8: Ancestors were worse than that.
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, I shout out the rock Nation brunch. I
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: don't get it. You don't get it.
• 28:29
  Speaker 5: I don't get why having a white friend that comes
• 28:33
  Speaker 5: to a barbecue is equivalent to reparations and other legislation
• 28:40
  Speaker 5: that she's talking about, Like you could do one, don't
• 28:42
  Speaker 5: got nothing to do with the other. For one and two,
• 28:45
  Speaker 5: it's okay to have allies. There are some white folks
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: that are on the right side of history, and they
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: can come to the even if the cookout is a
• 28:53
  Speaker 5: quote unquote cookout, if it's not a literal cookout. I
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: get what she's saying, right, maybe it's not literally, but
• 28:58
  Speaker 5: it's okay to have out. In fact, every not every,
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: but most of the games that we've made as far
• 29:05
  Speaker 5: as civil rights has come with allies. You have to
• 29:07
  Speaker 5: have people that are part of the infrastructure to help
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: change the infrastructure. It's just the way change works.
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: I think that one of my favorite movies is Mississippi Burning.
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: I know, Matt Old, but you know when it went
• 29:21
  Speaker 7: down south and those white people that went down there
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: to protest the voting stuff and they end up getting
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: killed alongside the black people.
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: Right.
• 29:28
  Speaker 7: I feel like part of the point of when people
• 29:30
  Speaker 7: say that is there was a level of work that
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: went in, right, the organizing before the gathering, the buses,
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: the traveling, the standing out, you know what I'm saying.
• 29:38
  Speaker 7: So being inducted into quote unquote the cookout wasn't It
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: wasn't just granted access for nothing.
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: Basically, you know what I'm saying.
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: You just look cool, if it feels nice, you said
• 29:49
  Speaker 7: something cool, so now you're in. No, this was like
• 29:51
  Speaker 7: a boots on the ground one hundred degree. Whether you
• 29:55
  Speaker 7: might get killed, you might get pistol, will you might
• 29:57
  Speaker 7: get thrown in. You know what I'm saying, because you're
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: standing with us. Okay, you know what I'm saying. I
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: feel like that's that's what people are talking about. It's like, Yo,
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: you're inviting niggas to the cookout. We have a cookout
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: because we're not allowed over there to eat, So now
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: you bring it. We got xtracog from over there. Now
• 30:10
  Speaker 7: you bringing the niggas? That racyte just over into o shit.
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: And it's it's also the fact that they like she
• 30:16
  Speaker 6: said that doing the douggie or the can like it's like,
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: just because you adopted hip hop or you act like us,
• 30:24
  Speaker 6: don't mean you're using your privilege to help us. That's
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: really what it's about. You understand what I'm saying. Like
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: to the people that you're talking about that you might
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: be cool with, how much are they actually willing to
• 30:33
  Speaker 6: die about you? Because you ain't got no choice when
• 30:36
  Speaker 6: they come this way, you ain't got no choice. They
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: are they going to use it? Or are they going
• 30:41
  Speaker 6: to be like that's fucked up? What happened to tromp?
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: Right? You understand it's a valid point I had.
• 30:51
  Speaker 6: I had a long week last week, and the only
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: reason I'm gonna bring it up is because mel Vibes
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: brought up the streamers. My godson was murdered last week.
• 31:01
  Speaker 6: Brisko b Is a droll rapper out in Coney Island.
• 31:06
  Speaker 6: A couple of god I did hear about that? Yeah,
• 31:09
  Speaker 6: my gosa yep. A couple of days later, there's a
• 31:13
  Speaker 6: eight person shootout right a corner.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: I'm assuming it's related. You know what I'm saying, Get
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: back and.
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: Well for me, I want I want to know what
• 31:29
  Speaker 6: us men in this room are due actually doing to
• 31:34
  Speaker 6: change the circumstances of our communities. What do we actually
• 31:39
  Speaker 6: do because these the women, they right there with these
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: kids every single day, every single day. Some of us
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: might be you know, Trom, you and i A both fathers.
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: We're there right this one is actually in the community.
• 31:51
  Speaker 6: That one's actually in the community. Do the men that
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: know better do we owe boar? Do we owe our
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: communities for not being there for all that time? Or
• 32:05
  Speaker 6: like to offset what the fuck we see.
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Going on out there?
• 32:10
  Speaker 6: I do think I do think it's our obligation once
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: we understand the game and how it really works, to
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: play it forward. Because at some point when you was twenty,
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: there was a forty year old dude for the fire
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: was trying to speaking to you.
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: He was like, what's right now? I'm pretty sure.
• 32:24
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, but but you know, now we're in that person's
• 32:28
  Speaker 6: shoes and we're looking at it like I see what
• 32:30
  Speaker 6: they were trying to show us and trying to kind
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: of kind of malect it from when he came and
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: got me. I went though. They had the Crown Heights
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: Youth Collective over there. There was a dude who took
• 32:39
  Speaker 6: a fancy to my mom's bad. My pops wasn't around,
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: but he came and he dragged my ass over there,
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: and the funk was it?
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know. It's like.
• 32:51
  Speaker 6: They grew their own fruit and like that. They had
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: their own class market tea, you know what.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: I'm saying, like a community garden, commut.
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: Like community like type ship they had to make, put
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: us to work and educated, read and shit like that.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: You know, I went because of it.
• 33:06
  Speaker 6: Than that I really didn't have I'm not gonna say
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: I didn't have no choice, But it was a dude,
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: older dude that took interest. I didn't have no men
• 33:11
  Speaker 6: around me, and you know, I mean it took me
• 33:13
  Speaker 6: and put me in a community. How much of that
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: are we actually doing, especially now that we getting two dollars.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: There's there's a lot of that happening.
• 33:20
  Speaker 6: It's not as broadcasted as everything else, or it's not,
• 33:25
  Speaker 6: as I want to say, I don't say publicized. Yeah,
• 33:28
  Speaker 6: it's not as publicized as everything else and the things
• 33:30
  Speaker 6: that are negative. But there are a lot of us
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: that are trying to make differences, that are trying to
• 33:35
  Speaker 6: teach that the are trying to impart in whatever ways
• 33:37
  Speaker 6: we can. Me specifically, I try to use my comedy
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: as a as a way to drop the medicine in
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: the food right because I know if I say the
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: things I want to say, I'm going to get black balled.
• 33:49
  Speaker 6: I'm going to get my wingle get clipp before I
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: get off the ground. So I find ways to, you know,
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: disarm you with the humor and then teach you and
• 33:56
  Speaker 6: enlighten you in some sort of way, shape or form.
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: You may not like everything that poster or my content
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: with the cases, but if you pay attention, there's always something,
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: some little gem that I'm trying to post, even if
• 34:05
  Speaker 6: it's in my stories about everything that's going on, like
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: everything that's going on around us, just as humanity, black, white,
• 34:10
  Speaker 6: and every individually speaking back on the community stuff again, condoulces.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: To your godson.
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: I hate to sound like this realistically, but it's so
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: much beyondes it. It's as in our hands as we
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: feel it is.
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: Son.
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: I was scared of him, as in our hands as
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: we feel it should be. I was scared him. I'm
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: gonna keep it rod with you.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: He was. I remember when he was controllable.
• 34:37
  Speaker 6: But I was so worried about getting my life like
• 34:39
  Speaker 6: I had just come home from prison, so I was
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: trying to get my shit together because I was on
• 34:43
  Speaker 6: the mission to take care of my kid and not
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: be a loser.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Like I was trying to figure it out.
• 34:48
  Speaker 6: I ain't have no real way, I didn't have no degree,
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: but I was trying to figure it out.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: When I came back around, who the fuck is this
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: nigg became a monster? Who is this nigga? The monster?
• 34:59
  Speaker 6: And I remember Drew, don't clip this my access that
• 35:02
  Speaker 6: I told y'all, yo, you gotta go get him, and
• 35:05
  Speaker 6: he said, my son going to learn in the street
• 35:08
  Speaker 6: like I learned in the street. Y'all. Remember I told
• 35:11
  Speaker 6: the story on the show. I'm watching some niggas sent
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: me a video or then pumping his chest as he
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: bled out, And I never forgot that, Like damn, we
• 35:21
  Speaker 6: actually gave up on this nigga. I was scared of him.
• 35:25
  Speaker 6: I'm telling you the real truth, Nigga. When he died,
• 35:29
  Speaker 6: we had a group chat.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Me and a bunch of street niggas back in the days.
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: Whatever it may be, niggas like yo, I'm not reposting that.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: The little niggas is looking to see who we posted it.
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: How fuck your niggas is even y'all scared to repost
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: your own? Because these little niggas is crazy. They will
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: knock your head off quick in the comments talking about
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: we knock your head off quick, come to the funeral,
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: nig up the grave, shoot the shoot.
• 35:57
  Speaker 6: So you over there right and you're saying, what can
• 35:59
  Speaker 6: we do as men to stop this? And then they're
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: getting pumped king von music and drill music in their head,
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: non stop, run down on ops, blick on ops, spin
• 36:08
  Speaker 6: the block on ops all day long. That's all they hearing,
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: that's all they're being fed into. And you come and
• 36:12
  Speaker 6: try and say, hey man, why don't you go to
• 36:14
  Speaker 6: school and do some positive bro? And you're looking at it,
• 36:16
  Speaker 6: and they looking at you like I gotta fuk, I
• 36:18
  Speaker 6: gotta draco. What are you talking about? So it's very
• 36:21
  Speaker 6: it's a very child and I and I speak on
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: that the way I do, whether you clip this or not,
• 36:25
  Speaker 6: because I'm a father of two boys, right and unfortunately
• 36:29
  Speaker 6: I'm in a situation where the court is involved and
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: I don't communicate well with the other side. So it
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: limits as black men our ability to protect our own
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: because realism, it is a design for them to fall down,
• 36:43
  Speaker 6: fall down, that's slippery slope.
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: That's by design.
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, your god son didn't die to by chances, by designs.
• 36:50
  Speaker 6: But the way the music is constantly think about the
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: music that we listen to on radio all day long,
• 36:55
  Speaker 6: think about and I use, I use to say power
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: one of five. Remember when Sexy came out with your
• 37:02
  Speaker 6: whole Brown The first time you heard it as a
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: girl like trash, no respect to anybody's art.
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: I'm just being real. First time you heard you like,
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: what is this?
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: And then whoever's in control of that kept it spinning
• 37:15
  Speaker 6: so that after a while you was you driving the
• 37:18
  Speaker 6: car like So it's literally it's programmed into you, and
• 37:23
  Speaker 6: they programmed it's it's so deeper than we can ever imagine,
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: and it's so much hard. It's old hard to fight
• 37:29
  Speaker 6: because you're trying to show that, hey, you're not going
• 37:32
  Speaker 6: to get far, you're.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: Going to die. And they looking at you like what,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: I got a draco? What are you talking about? What?
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: It's almost like it's almost like it's almost.
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: Like I do feel like though, I'm sorry if I'm
• 37:43
  Speaker 6: skipping it right now, y'all, y'all input, but I think
• 37:50
  Speaker 6: what you said you were father two kids. There was
• 37:53
  Speaker 6: a conversation on it. It just just very quickly that
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: niggas was like, yo, would you would you snitch if
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: Gucci like, oh, he was trying to leave and they
• 38:01
  Speaker 6: lifted Drake up up on you.
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: But you was the street I said, Bro, I'm calling
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: the cops immediately.
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: As I go outside. I'm not a street nigga. I'm
• 38:10
  Speaker 6: a father. I'm a husband. Like that's how I that's
• 38:14
  Speaker 6: my identity, all that other shit trying to prove that
• 38:19
  Speaker 6: my dick is big as that nigga, My ego is
• 38:22
  Speaker 6: as big.
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: As him, and he ain't gonna Bro, you.
• 38:24
  Speaker 6: Go deal with the people, them and the twelve. You
• 38:28
  Speaker 6: go deal with them, right because there's gonna be repercussions.
• 38:31
  Speaker 6: I'm actually doing your favor. The other route is, you
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: know what I'm saying, and I don't owe you that.
• 38:38
  Speaker 6: I don't owe you my life in exchange for yours.
• 38:40
  Speaker 6: My nigga, all right, but I look at the fact
• 38:44
  Speaker 6: that Mal just said, Yo, I'm a father again, Drew,
• 38:48
  Speaker 6: don't clip this. My best friend he died right hustling
• 38:54
  Speaker 6: last year. His son in jail. My other best friend
• 39:00
  Speaker 6: he going through his morning process right now. His son died.
• 39:04
  Speaker 6: My other one just came home from vision. His son died.
• 39:08
  Speaker 6: Don't clip this. I'm glad they don't listen. But it's like, Yo,
• 39:12
  Speaker 6: we was all just standing around on the corner, not
• 39:14
  Speaker 6: raising our kids.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: None of us was that.
• 39:18
  Speaker 6: Involved in our kids. That accountability now has to be
• 39:22
  Speaker 6: had in this moment.
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: When I was in jail, somebody asked me, this today
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: completely separate. Just on some.
• 39:27
  Speaker 6: Books hear it changed. But I was actually bugging out
• 39:31
  Speaker 6: in the street, right, I'm bugging right. Went to trimpt,
• 39:34
  Speaker 6: I went to try for tempted murder and just took
• 39:37
  Speaker 6: the please for the other small accounts of drugs whatever.
• 39:40
  Speaker 6: Went upstate. When I went upstate, my mother brought my
• 39:43
  Speaker 6: daughter to come see me on the visiting floor.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: This girl is.
• 39:48
  Speaker 6: Six years old, little princess, little girl, and I hadn't
• 39:52
  Speaker 6: spent much time with her because I was always in
• 39:54
  Speaker 6: the street, ripping and running. I wasn't thinking about it.
• 39:56
  Speaker 6: Mother's job to raise kid. I ain't thinking about that.
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: Right with the CEOs. It's walking around being dicks.
• 40:04
  Speaker 6: You'll move at you can't have that right there, No touching,
• 40:06
  Speaker 6: no hands, you're you know, I'm talking to my daughter
• 40:08
  Speaker 6: like you right. And I look, I'm sitting there and
• 40:13
  Speaker 6: I'm looking around at this little last girl in this penitentiary.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: And in my head, I said, you're teaching her that
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: this is okay. This is where you come to see died.
• 40:27
  Speaker 6: This is where you're gonna wind up seeing your boyfriend.
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: Now you're gonna you're gonna marry.
• 40:31
  Speaker 6: And when my mom's left, I got on the silver phone,
• 40:34
  Speaker 6: the silver jack, and I said, don't bring her no
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: more right, And I went and laid in myself and
• 40:41
  Speaker 6: my life changed right there, right there.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: When I hit the streets. The first thing I went and.
• 40:48
  Speaker 6: Did was go get her bags in my hand, walking
• 40:52
  Speaker 6: with her in the street, learning who she is, the
• 40:55
  Speaker 6: understand what I'm saying that moment actually stoke cracking, that
• 40:59
  Speaker 6: she fucked me up to, but that moment actually changed
• 41:03
  Speaker 6: me from who I was before that that moment, in
• 41:06
  Speaker 6: that and on that visiting floor, you understand what I'm saying.
• 41:10
  Speaker 6: But now I look and I said, fuck bro All,
• 41:13

• 41:19
  Speaker 6: One is in prison. That guy's still alive, but he

• 42:00
  Speaker 6: and I might get balked on by my friends, and shit,
• 42:03
  Speaker 6: I understand that, but I also feel like there's a
• 42:05
  Speaker 6: lesson to be learned by any man that's out here.
• 42:08
  Speaker 6: You don't want to see that video of them, pump
• 42:11

• 42:58
  Speaker 6: Sorry, y'all, that's actually that's These are things that actually

• 48:50
  Speaker 6: black men that don't get a. Recognition they need to

  Speaker 6: and they need to start getting. Recognized For, josh first of,
• 48:55
  Speaker 6: ALL i apologize for hitting the trauma, button and that's.
• 49:01
  Speaker 6: Needed sometimes that's your. Time these conversations are super healthy to.

  Speaker 4: Convo, Listen i've said it, Before i'm gonna say it.
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: Again there are several things that black men need to
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: do and need to start.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: Doing, one y'all gotta get in these.
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: Schools AND i don't know how many TIMES i gotta say, it,

• 49:32
  Speaker 4: have to be more than the gym, teacher like teach,
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: math teach E, la teach, history like you have to
• 49:41
  Speaker 4: go to school and care about your own education and
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: then use that as a catalyst to go get these
• 49:46
  Speaker 4: kids and get them to care about their. Education because
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: the the the brass facts of it, is in ten
• 49:54
  Speaker 4: years That i've been in, education it is very women
• 49:58
  Speaker 4: dominated and our boys need this a little bit more
• 50:02
  Speaker 4: than our girls right.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Now that's number. One number two.
• 50:08
  Speaker 4: You WHEN i say father your sons and father your,

• 50:25
  Speaker 4: kids and all of their friends and knowing who their
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: friends are and making positive examples with the, community because
• 50:31
  Speaker 4: you can't just do it in a vacuum alone with
• 50:34
  Speaker 4: your child and just raise your child one, way and
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: then they go out and have influences from all of
• 50:39
  Speaker 4: these different, people and then your way is not gonna.
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: Work you gotta get all of. Them like one thing

• 51:00
  Speaker 4: day and like two weeks AND i can't wait for
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: that cause then the kids they get. Together you have
• 51:04
  Speaker 4: like minded people you have the kids that you know
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: if their dad is not as prevalent in their life
• 51:10
  Speaker 4: or just the days that all of fall this take

• 51:17
  Speaker 4: to start doing more of. That niggas could play on,
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: vacations they could buy bottles in the, Club but what
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: are y'all doing for y'all children and y'all children's, Friends and,
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: LIKE i understand that co parenting and things like that are,
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: difficult but fighting for your kid is like the most
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: important thing in the. World and not only resting and
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: relying on the mother or the relationship with the mother
• 51:42
  Speaker 4: to get.
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: Information like parent teacher.
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: Night you should know when it is your, kids, doctor

  Speaker 4: your kids fucking.
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: Teachers you should know their.
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: Names you should be at the school, too like it's
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: y'all not just there for disciplinary, things like you show,
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: up drop your kid, off pick your kid up up
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: into high. School like stop thinking that after elementary school
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: that parenting is over and the kids, like oh they

  Speaker 4: they old enough that they, Could, no they're. Not middle
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: school is the most important time in a kid's, life
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: especially a young black. Boy i've seen. It i've seen
• 52:16
  Speaker 4: it time and time. Again and when you're talking about
• 52:19
  Speaker 4: being in the trenches or me being, there LIKE i
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: remember last, year my, kids some of my boys had
• 52:26

  Speaker 5: you know you helped me through the fatherhood, things you
• 56:55
  Speaker 5: know WHAT i. Mean and LUCKILY i had good. Examples
• 56:57
  Speaker 5: you my, brother my pot but you.
• 56:59
  Speaker 3: Came from it's your parent household.
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: Too, yeah but even still it Wasn't it's not as,
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: instinctual you know WHAT i mean. THAT i was just
• 57:09
  Speaker 5: having this conversation the other, day, like you, know maternal
• 57:12
  Speaker 5: Instinct Obviously i'm not a, WOMAN i don't, know BUT
• 57:15
  Speaker 5: i feel is more instinctual than paternal. Instinct SO i
• 57:18
  Speaker 5: feel like we needed that, push that guidance on how
• 57:22
  Speaker 5: to be a, father how to be, active you know
• 57:24
  Speaker 5: WHAT i, mean and things like. That so LUCKILY i had,
• 57:26
  Speaker 5: that you know WHAT i.
• 57:27
  Speaker 6: MEAN i THINK i just think that that AND i
• 57:30
  Speaker 6: don't know if he was, finished BUT i also THINK
• 57:31
  Speaker 6: i see that you. Disagree BUT i also think that
• 57:34
  Speaker 6: that kind of happened in the last fifty years BECAUSE
• 57:37
  Speaker 6: i think there was always been paternal, historically and we
• 57:40
  Speaker 6: knew what we had to.
• 57:41
  Speaker 3: Do men knew what they had to.
• 57:43
  Speaker 6: Do and after the crack, whatever the separation of men
• 57:47
  Speaker 6: from the, household.
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: We're offspring of that of.
• 57:52
  Speaker 6: Society like it's just not the same For Black, americans
• 57:55
  Speaker 6: by the, way BECAUSE i think that In West indian
• 57:57
  Speaker 6: coaches it's still not it doesn't impact them the same.
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: Way that's not. True, Listen there's two Things i'm gonna. Say,
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: one there is a misconception that motherhood and maternal instinct comes,
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: naturally because for some women it. Doesn't it's not, like
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: oh my, GOD i just had this baby and NOW
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: i have this undying connection to.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: It like that's not true at, all at, all at.
• 58:25
  Speaker 2: All they are, no, no, no, no, no that is not
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: psychological telling me as a woman what it is and
• 58:32
  Speaker 2: what it's.
• 58:32
  Speaker 4: Not i'm telling you it's not for all. WOMEN i am, no,
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: NO i am speaking for all, women because What i'm
• 58:37
  Speaker 4: saying is it is not something that is innate within.
• 58:41
  Speaker 4: Us there are some women that gravitate towards motherhood way
• 58:46
  Speaker 4: faster than. Others but it's not, like oh my, god
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: the baby is born and all women are automatically connected
• 58:52
  Speaker 4: to this. Baby that is absolutely not the. Truth like
• 58:55
  Speaker 4: some people have it, naturally some people. Don't some people
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: grow into, It LIKE i talk this all the time
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: with my, Sister like WHEN i came home With, parker
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: my baby fresh out a day and a half. OLD
• 59:07
  Speaker 4: i left her with my sister AND i left the
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: house like straight home from the.
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: Hospital my brain LIKE i just could.
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: Not it took me a couple of, Weeks LIKE i
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: went AND i literally went to the hair salon around
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: the corner to get a washing set because this was
• 59:24
  Speaker 4: my first time walking around in my body by myself
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: in months AND i don't, know like that shit fucked me.
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: Up and my sister was in the house With parker
• 59:34
  Speaker 4: for like two hours straight home from the hospital BECAUSE
• 59:37
  Speaker 4: i needed a minute to like grapple with everything that just, Happened, like,
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: YO i JUST i just had a, baby like that
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: shit took me a, Minute like, YO i really just
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: had A like that's, Crazy LIKE.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: I don't even know what's happening right.
• 59:50
  Speaker 4: Now so it's not something that, like especially if you're
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: going through the baby, blues you go through, postpartum like
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: like you have to really connect with your baby and
• 59:59
  Speaker 4: it takes. While if god, forbid if you breastfeeding and
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 4: that baby is not latching and you feel like it's
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: something wrong with, you you had a, Problem like it's
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: so many different things than feelings that.
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 6: HAPPEN i also feel like you get society pressures you
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 6: to have that connection more than it pressures men.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 4: To it not only pressures you to have that, connection
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 4: it pressures you to cosplay and not be okay with
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 4: saying THAT i don't have that. Connection and that's and
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 4: that's saying it makes you, like oh my, god is
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 4: this the happiest day of your? Life, actually, No i'm
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: terrified what The i'm?
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: Doing.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 6: Well people need to be honest about, that and.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 4: That's when you go through like the depressions and the
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 4: things like it takes a.
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: Lot BUT i also think that.
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 6: The say, it it would make me feel more comfortable saying.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 4: It, yeah but you have to, realize like there's a
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 4: way to say this the right, way BUT i don't
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 4: want to say it the right. Way i'm gonna say
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 4: it my. Way you gotta, realize like you can't be
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: pussy about your, feelings and a lot of people are
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: a lot of people do not know how to sit
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 4: down and really articulate how they really, feel even when
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: it's like something that is not going to be wildly
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 4: receptive by the, Masses like you can't you could coseplay
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: and be, like oh my, God, yes this is the
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: happiest day in my. Life and you, Know i'm so

• 1:01:59
  Speaker 4: especially to the pretenses THAT i had a kid like
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: that shit was actually diabolically crazy mental.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 2: Illness one on.
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 4: One BUT i will also, say just because people grow
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 4: up in a two parent household does not mean that
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 4: they grew up with a, Father like.
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 2: There was your dad was in the.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 3: Household dad was, there.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: Because i've seen.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: It and then like a lot of people say, that
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: like when you think about Like caribbean households or Even african, households, like,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 4: yeah that nigga there every, day but.
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: That nigga will talk to, you he'll know. You he
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: don't ask you about your, day he never helped you
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: with your. Homework he's just. There he's just another body
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: in that.
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 4: House so then we some of us have like, this
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 4: this this notion of like some people come from a
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 4: two parent. Household, yeah but that doesn't mean THAT i
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 4: had a two parent household experience because at the end
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 4: of the, day my mom was just a, married single.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 4: Mother and that's something that we see play out a
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 4: lot in a lot of different dynamics and households.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: Too i've seen it.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 3: Read single, Mothers yeah right, Now i've seen.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 2: It i've seen it in my.
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 4: Family i've Seen i've seen it like odds with my,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 4: grandfather that nigga was never not, home he was there every.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: Day i'm just, like, yo what do you do?
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 4: Here like you just here, Though And i'm the, Teenager
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: LIKE i remember having a conversation with my stepfather, like,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: yo you don't even know, Me like you don't even
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: know my best, Friends LIKE i speak to you all the.
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: Time, like you don't know what's going? On what's my favorite? Color? Nigga,
• 1:03:36

• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: Know and the answer is, No ask my. Mom she
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 4: could tell you all these things you was. Around, yeah,
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 4: cute but it's not the. Same sometimes it's better off
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 4: not even having an extra nigga in the house because
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 4: then you grow up thinking that that's what love. Is
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 4: love is, disconnect love is just being at the table
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 4: or just being in the, house when at the end
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 4: of the, Day i've never seen love from these two.
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: PEOPLE i don't even think your niggas like each other for.
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 4: REAL i just think y'all both here because it's.
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 3: Cheap of the keeper that. Way she was sick in
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 3: the situation that, Way.
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 6: Kelly, yeah it's a tough it's a tough situation the
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 6: identity of, father especially. SOCIETALLY i keep saying the word
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 6: society BECAUSE i think it's important that women and men
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 6: understand the pressure that we're put under to be successful
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 6: and to, provide and we're not held under the same
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 6: scrutiny to raise our children as women are facts WE'RE
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 6: i THINK i feel like we're looked at as less
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 6: than a. Man if you are not, successful or if
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 6: you do not provide for your. Family that just right,
• 1:04:44
  Speaker 6: there and that means any be, honest any woman that you're.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 6: Around you're looked at as less successful if you don't
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 6: Have AND i think that starts around eleven years, old
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 6: twelve years. Old your, sneakers your, shorts your, shirt whatever it,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 6: is your friend, group, whatever and maybe your book, bag
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 6: your hat with it starts.
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: There AND i don't think.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 6: That i'm not sure if, women AND i just don't
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 6: think that y'all face the same societal pressure to be
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 6: anything but.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: Respectfully. Pretty i'm sorry for saying. THAT i don't. KNOW
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 3: i don't know what societal pressure y'all.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: Have much more than y'all sometimes.
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 6: Pretty and maybe good, Mothers but even, THEN i don't
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 6: look at the world will ship on a nigga for
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 6: not being. Successful the world will literally like amvaluable you don't, Have.
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 4: But the world will also ship on a woman for
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 4: being honest about how she really, feels or shot on
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 4: a woman for for doing things like Like i've said for,
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 4: years like, mothers single, mothers give these kids, today, fathers
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 4: by The tommy's kids is ten eleven years, old get
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 4: these kids to their dads like and that's the daughters and.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: Sons you gotta.
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 6: Society the minute the woman that you're a bad, mother
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 6: and you're a bad. Mother the minute the kid lives
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 6: with the, father they ask where's the? Mother they think about,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 6: it they like it's literally when a woman is dating
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 6: a man and the woman tells the, man oh, yeah
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 6: my child lives with the, father the man immediately looks
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 6: at her, like let, me let, me let, me let
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 6: me say two things real. Quick and it may be taken,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 6: wrong but understand What i'm about to try to. Say
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 6: if women stop giving pussy the men that didn't take
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 6: care of their, kids he would hold a lot of
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 6: the men.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: Accountable we already know that.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: You ain't say.

  Speaker 3: None, well let me just intersect real quick and then
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 3: you can.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 6: FINISH i think a lot of men start becoming better

• 1:07:21
  Speaker 6: whole men. Accountable same THING i can say with men

  Speaker 6: if men started holding more women women accountable in today's, society,
• 1:07:27

• 1:13:40
  Speaker 6: THAT i have to retort to, that And i'm not,
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 6: disagreeing is that was always my, play. RIGHT i gotta
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 6: make SURE i. Provide just REMEMBER i said, That and
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 6: a lot of your fathering statement came from making sure
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 6: they have and making sure you're successful that you could
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 6: show them they need you on it, daily they need.
• 1:13:59
  Speaker 6: You they need you the same LIKE i didn't do
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 6: the diapers AND i didn't do the things BECAUSE i
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 6: was busy doing the things worried about your, family worried
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 6: about you, know being.
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 2: This but because y'all keep thinking that other space.
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 6: Right, right there was too much empty space of time
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 6: that should have been, bonding should have been, talking should
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 6: have been, teaching should have been, walking should have been,
• 1:14:25
  Speaker 6: showing should have been, relating, right that was filled up
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 6: with all of this other. Information And i'm speaking about
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 6: my godson right, now AND i also speak about my,
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 6: daughter but me and her speak a lot more, now,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 6: Right but there was there was too much space WHERE
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 6: i was thinking about this grandiose idea of providing and.
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 3: Father what's to look?
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 6: Like but she was getting all of this information from
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 6: other places WHERE i was supposed to be. There you
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 6: understand What i'm. Saying and so for the, men we
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 6: have to for lack of a better, word, mother it's
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 6: not just for you have the, parents it's not just for.
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 6: Them all of those, things all of those moments should
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 6: be shared experience between, parents not just the mother do
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 6: this and the father do. That they're gonna say What i'm,
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 6: Saying AND i think we don't realize.
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 3: What fills up the empty space when we're. Out we don't.
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 5: Realize it's difficult question So dodge pointed, out like middle
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 5: school is a very impressional, age AND i, Agree, Right
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 5: is there a, point you, know speaking on your, godson
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 5: my condolences by the, way and just in general to,
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 5: you to you, towbo is there point where it might
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 5: be too? Late like is there a point where we
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 5: have to step in before a certain age or? Else
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 5: it's like they're already who they.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: Are, oh you want to ask me? That BECAUSE i
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: got to. ANSWER i just want to ask the. Room go, ahead,
• 1:15:55
  Speaker 2: honestly between fourth grade and seventh, grade that is that's your.
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 4: Window sixth grade and seventh, GRADE i promise you that's your, window,
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 4: remember because that's when that's what you have to, Understand
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: like that's when boys they start feeling themselves like they,
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 4: yes like all of these things start, happening like the
• 1:16:13
  Speaker 4: the social aspect of, it and the girls come into,
• 1:16:16
  Speaker 4: play and your homeboys and having to put on and
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: then like thinking about grades and thinking about school and
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 4: the importance of and thinking about how you look like
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 4: all of fourth grade to seventh. Grade if you ain't
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 4: got your son locked in by seventh, grade you want
• 1:16:32
  Speaker 4: a different type of uphill, battle because by eighth grade
• 1:16:35
  Speaker 4: they swear that they hot.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 2: Shit they think that they've grown.
• 1:16:38
  Speaker 4: Like because in their, heads, right they walked into middle
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 4: school and they was, little they were still little. Babies
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 4: now they, taller they might have a little facial. Here
• 1:16:48
  Speaker 4: they boys didn't got deep and they probably didn't have
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 4: their four first. Girlfriend now by eighth, grade we're thinking about, it,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 4: Right they don't realize how little they are until they
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 4: go to high.
• 1:16:58
  Speaker 2: School in eighth.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 4: Grade you big man on campus in middle, school so
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 4: you're not thinking, like, yo, Like i'm really a little
• 1:17:06
  Speaker 4: nigga in, here like because by the TIME i go
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 4: to high, school Now i'm around grown men for. Real
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 4: But i'm the grown man in. HERE i walk around
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 4: here a certain type of, WAY i move a certain
• 1:17:16
  Speaker 4: type of. Way And i'm gonna tell, y'all LIKE i said, before, drugs, vapes, sex, porn,
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 4: gangs all of.
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: That ship start in fifth. Grade all that shit started
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 2: grade fifth.
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 4: Grade is either you already know about it and you
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 4: about to start trying, it or you see it for
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 4: the first time and now you get into.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 5: It part of me For, Interjecson but, so what if,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 5: anything can we do to the high school boys that's
• 1:17:48
  Speaker 5: going down the wrong, path like what do you do?
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 4: See high school boys is a little bit different because
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 4: you can you can catch. No, no, NO i. DON'T i
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 4: don't want us to ever give up on our young black. Boys,
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 4: mmmm that's not.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 3: TRUE i.
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 2: Lie some of them told.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 3: You and that's the.
• 1:18:10
  Speaker 4: One that's the one that that is the that is
• 1:18:13
  Speaker 4: the biggest lesson THAT i learned in education was like
• 1:18:16
  Speaker 4: you you have this this theory like you can save
• 1:18:18
  Speaker 4: them all and like you're gonna get them. All and
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 4: then once you it's that, broken heartened experience where you,
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 4: realize LIKE i cannot save all of. Y'ALL i can
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 4: save WHO i can, save and the rest of y'all
• 1:18:28
  Speaker 4: is really up to, You god and your. Parents at this,
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 4: POINT i CANNOT i can't fuck with.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 3: Y'all like.
• 1:18:32
  Speaker 4: That high school is a little bit. Different you gotta
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: work a little bit harder to figure out how to
• 1:18:41
  Speaker 4: pull them away from what's easy for. Them and that
• 1:18:46
  Speaker 4: is a big pull because you're looking at somebody that's
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 4: damned near grown and like you're trying to like, again
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 4: you're compating all of the different things that they already,
• 1:18:54
  Speaker 4: know the, norms the people that they hang out. With
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 4: so that's WHY i, say, like especially middle going to high,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 4: School like y'all gotta be the safe space for these.
• 1:19:03
  Speaker 2: Kids like the kids they should not be in the.
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: Streets they should be at.
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 4: Your, House like you should have the fucking big screen
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 4: TVs and all of the fucking games in the world
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 4: and all of the snacks in the, world and you
• 1:19:14
  Speaker 4: should be like pouring into the like you gotta keep
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 4: these kids super close to you as men and be
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 4: that neighborhood, dad that neighborhood, uncle because if, not it's
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 4: so easy for them to slip into the cracks and
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 4: be outside too late with the wrong, people doing the wrong.
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 4: Thing and you gotta work super. Hard if you don't
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: get them by seventh, grade you gotta work ten times
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 4: harder to reel them back. In and that's that's, difficult
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 4: and which is WHY i think THAT i personally like
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 4: my life's devotion is to that short sweet spot between
• 1:19:47
  Speaker 4: fifth grade and seventh grade WHERE i try my best
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 4: to get. THEM i try my best to get, them
• 1:19:53
  Speaker 4: keep them and hoold them close because eighth, grade they
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 4: they're fucking.
• 1:19:56
  Speaker 3: GONE i kind of. DISAGREE i don't.
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 6: DISAGREE i just feel, like, yeah our balls, drop our
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 6: balls get filled up with.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 3: Testosterone fourth, grade.
• 1:20:12
  Speaker 6: Right and so when you said, that the voice, changes
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 6: the world gets. Bigger so she's absolutely right that fourth
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 6: to seventh. Grade when you go from sixth grade to
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 6: seventh grade or eighth grade to ninth you're now you
• 1:20:25
