• 0:00
  Speaker 1: All right, guys, here we are last break of the
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: day and it is time for you Steve to take
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: a seat to.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Talk about racism.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: And you know, man, because I was giving it a
• 0:12
  Speaker 3: little bit of thought this week here and I was
• 0:14
  Speaker 3: by myself, and I was thinking about the existence of it. Now, listen,
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to say something so profound that explains
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: racism or where it stems from and all like that.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: I just want to have a couple of thoughts I
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: wanted to share with y'all. You know, there are some
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: black people in this world who I just think are
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: not good representatives of who we are as a people.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: And we all know some we all know some what
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: we wish they would just go sit down somewhere and
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: quit having a voice that they have, you know, making
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: us feel that kind of way feel bad. I've been
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: watching a lot online and there are a lot of
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: whites who feel the same way about a lot of
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: some whites that's out there. There are white people constantly
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: online talking about the racist white people that they know,
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: and they're not understanding why they won't admit to the truth.
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: And I'm saying all this because I want you to
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: understand that there are just some bad people on all
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: sides of the coin. There are some bad Black people,
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: some bad White people, some bad Latinos, some bad Asians,
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: some bad Christians, some bad Jewish people, some bad muslim some.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Whatever. It's just some bad ones.
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: And what I found is that these bad ones, when
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: they are giving a voice and a platform, they bring
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: out the other bad ones so they have a place
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: where they can band together. And racism is such a
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: waste of energy. So I know for a fact that
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: I know a lot of white who are really, really,
• 2:18
  Speaker 3: really good people, and I know a lot of them,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: But I know a whole lot of Black people that's
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: just some incredibly wonderful people. But I know some bad
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: ones too, And sadly, I've met enough of the bad
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: white ones, which is what keeps me on my toes
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: all the time, because sometimes racism in this country rears
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: its head at the most unexpected time. And we are
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: living in a time right now where racism at the
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: forefront is at an all time high.
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: It's at an all time high, this after.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: The Emancipation Proclamation, this after the so called freeing of slaves.
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: It has never been more prevalent than it is today.
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: And it has a voice, it's got a following, it's
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: got streaming devices. I mean, man, they can organize. Did
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: you see what happen on January sixth? Did you see
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: what happened there? That was organized bigotry and hatred at
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: the highest level. And I know it was at the
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: highest level because when this man became president, he pardoned
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: all of them, which made him keep one campaign promise
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: on that day he said, if you go down there,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: I will send my lawyers for you. And that's exactly
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: what he did, and he gave an executive pardon to
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: all these people. But I don't think people understand what
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: racism causes and does. And you know what, let me
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: just help you racist people out for just one second here,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: not that you're going to listen, and not that you care,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: because I know you don't. And that's what keeps us
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: so alive and well in this country because of your
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: bigoted ignorance, because of your unwillingness to understand just for
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: a moment, that the Civil Rights Bill was not for
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: us to get more.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: The Civil Rights Bill was simply all we wanted to
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: do was to be treated civil. We just wanted to
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: be treated civil like people like your constitutions say, stop
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: getting mad at black people when they don't stand for
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: the star spriangled banner, when they know full well you're
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: not singing about them. Don't ask me to put my
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: hand on my heart. Do you know the reason that
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: I do stand for the national anthem? For the people
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: who put them uniforms on, who left home and didn't
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: come back. That's really it, man, Because of the soldiers
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: and the military people out here that had to choose
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: this route as a way to earn a living. That's
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: really it, man. And you know what, I get sick
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: of people go, I don't know why you're complaining? You rich?
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: What?
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: Man?
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: Let me explain something to you.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: I'm in this fight for us because I know, good
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: and well, if my black was not who I was
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: and didn't have the ability to do what I do,
• 5:43
  Speaker 3: I know good and hair well, I wouldn't be rich.
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: I know good and hall well, you wouldn't give me
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: nothing you done gave me. And just as a reminder,
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: the things I do have that you think you gave me,
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: I had to do ten times more then my counterparts
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: just to get a piece of what they got. So racism, man,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: is ugly on so many levels, and I ain't scratched
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: the surface of it today. I just wanted to tell
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: y'all something. What we really want is just to be
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: treated fairly.
• 6:17
  Speaker 4: That's all. We don't want more.
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: If I had the time to tell you what affirmative
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: action was really for you, go somewhere and sit down.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: But you're not because you don't care. You don't listen,
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: So keep on being racist. If we're gonna keep fighting
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: and we're gonna keep winning, and you're not gonna stop
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: us no matter what you do.
