  Speaker 1: versatif again. I was born in seventy two, and I'm
• 7:12

  Speaker 1: with two cents of as people. I mean, it's a bar.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: And the word negro, I mean, we don't use it
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in all every day of vernacular now, but back in
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: the sixties days to use it all the time. You
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: go listen to all the old MLK junior speeches. That's
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: how he was referring to black people like the negro
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: in the Constitution and the negro in the American Dream.
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: The negro was part of, you know, a huge community
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: who seek new freedom in every area of life. These
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: are MLK jew and his words. And this is before
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: we became black people. I don't know, Hello, who's that?
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know? Hello? Yo? God thought brother good mowing
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: in man me personally, man, we would have been fighting
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: up that, George. I'm so confused. Man, I'm not saying that,
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: y'all wrong. I just didn't I don't know when negro
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: became a slur. It's not the words back in the
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: principle that he can do that and the black principle
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: be okay, would be okay with that? Well, there's a
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: Negro drinking, there's a Caucasian drink. If it was just
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: a Negro drinking, we were singled out, I would probably
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: be like, what is up with this? But being that
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: there was a Caucasian drink, look white, white, white or black.
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: If I'm a white person, I'm gonna be you know,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I'm the offended as well. So it's just a place
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: on both sides. Why would you be offended about an
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: actual word or like Caucasian it means white people and
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: they're known for making these types of names for their drinks.
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: I would have been offended now, I would have been
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: offended if the black, if the if the Negro only
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: had gene in it, and the Caucasian had better alcohol,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: then I would want to fight. And good Marnie, how
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: are you feeling? I'm great? How do you guys Saturday?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: When you think about the Negro and Caucasian drinks, I think,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: first off, we have to you know, I understand that
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: these people chose I'm that story like these three months.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: First of all. Second of all, I feel like, no
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: matter people you said your first it's March. I know
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. They didn't do this dree months. They
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: have enough sense not to do that. But also, you know,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: these days everything is about going viral and geting that attention. Um,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: I feel like they just did that to you know,
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: maybe get that certain notoriety, but didn't take into consideration
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: you know, their employees or how anyone else would take it.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I feel like this the world you know that we
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: live in these days? True? Well, thank you, Hey, I
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: just I just googled Caucasian cocktail. Well, actually I cooled
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: google Coctasian Caucasian drink and when you google it, it's
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a recipe to Caucasian cocktail recipe. There's a bunch of them.
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: There's another drink called the Dude's Caucasian. What's the Negro?
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Did you google Google the Negro? But the Caucasian drink
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: is you feel a rock, you feel a glassful of
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: ice pouring two shots of vodka and three shots of coola,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: top off with milk. Oh my god, white. Now go
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: and do the Negro. It's called the Caucasian cockdail. I
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: don't know what you said, Negro drink. They have one
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: called in the Groni, but it's not Negro. I don't
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: even know what Negroni is. And it's cey. It's called
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: in Negroni. It's called in the Groni. It's borrowed from Italians,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: named after account named Camillo Negroni, who asked for its creation.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: And it's made out of gin, sweet vermouth and campari.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know what that. What's the moral of the story,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: the moreler stories. I don't know when Negro and Caucasian
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: became slurred. But I mean, if y'all want to be mad,

• 11:18
  Speaker 1: same way you go to the rude restaurant. I personally
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: probably wouldn't go there, but I'm not gonna get mad
