  Speaker 1: Greeting salitations. Welcome my friends to another edition of The
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: Power Hour on six ten w TV. Yeah, I'm Chuck Douglass.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: You know who you are. Me take it from there.
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: We get one hour together, which means I talked really
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: fast and you must listen even fast. My number eight
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: two on nine eight eight six eight two one WTV
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: in or one eight hundred sixty ten WTV, and lots
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: of stuff that I want to just I want to
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: cram in. I gotta cram stuff in. I mean just
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: just because there's there's there's one hour. First of all,
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: earlier the Pope, the new Pope, Pope Leo the fourteenth. Well,
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: I'm looking at him on TV. They had him on
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: TV in a just a suit, not a pope thing,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: but just a regular suit, and I'm thinking he kind
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: of reminds me of Barack Obama, and apparently there's a
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: reason for that. Also, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: I can only sympathize a little bit, but not much.
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: Burger King being sued and maybe some people think it's
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: about time, and I want to start things off with
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: this question. Has urban Meyer lost his dag onlind Have
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you seen this story yet, Zachary, do you know what
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about? When it comes to former Ohio State
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: University football coach Urban.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Meyer, Yeah, he wants to ban Michigan, Right.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Wow, Why that's just nuts. The post urban Meyer wants
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: a Michigan football lifetime ban over NCAA violations appeared first
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: on something called clutch Points. With the Michigan football program
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: facing suspensions, urban Meyer doesn't think that is enough. After
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the Wolverines program had numerous violations, The former Ohio State
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: head coach thinks there should be more punishment. He elaborated
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: more on the Triple Option show. I don't know whose
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: show is that? You know? Is that ESPN? I don't
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: even know where that is? No, I am, He says,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: if you lie as a call it, Oh see, hey,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: this is dangerous, ERVN, this is dangerous if you lie
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: as a college football coach to the NCAA. In my
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: personal opinion, you're finished. You're done. That's not making a
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: text message. That's not going to lunch with someone you're
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: not supposed to go to lunch with. That's not sending
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: a letter when you're not supposed to. All of the
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: frivolous Level three frivolous level threes and all that nonsense.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: When they got you and they say did you do this?
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: And they refuse to cooperate or they refused or they lied.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: In my very strong opinion, you're finished coaching in Division
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: one college football or basketball. Guess what happens. The risk
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: now is too high, and I don't think you'd ever
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: see this kind of stuff again. Already here there or
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: the already here is that Meyer himself is a former
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Ohio State coach. The Michigan fandom will likely disregard what
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: Meyer has to say. However, he makes a compelling argument.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I think see there's But basically what they're saying is
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Ohio State fans might say ra ro because he's a four.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: I would think, honestly, seriously, truly, I would think Ohio
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: State football fans, if you call yourself a real Ohio
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: State football fan, the last thing you want is for
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: Michigan to not be Michigan. I mean, defeating them at
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: the end of each season is what you live for, right.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: If you take Michigan away, then it's championship or busting
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah exactly.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Those are nice. Championships are nice, but beating Michigan is
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: an imperative. I just I don't know, No, I don't
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: know where the coach's head is on this. And you
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: remember he was such a you know, a local boy,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: done good with Ohio State University, and people said we
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: wanted him because he had his roots here and all
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: this kind of stuff. I would think as much as
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: anyone else, if not more than most urban Meyer would
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: know the importance of maintaining Michigan's prominence in the NCAA
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: football I just this is this is.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Nuts right, and Michigan, I'm pretty sure Michigan has the
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: head to head to lead against Ohio State, so you
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: want to at least tie it back up before they
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: get kicked off forever. Well, yet he's the superior team, you.
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: Know, see you just you You want to get beaten
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: up in parking lots, don't you. You're just hoping somebody
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: recognizes you when you go grocery shopping. Just beats the
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: snot out of you. Mister Michigan is Oh my gosh,
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: he doesn't mean it. He's just saying that to get
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: your goat. If you don't have a goat, go get
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: what and then he'll get it. But but he doesn't
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: mean that, but I just think this is this is uh.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know Coach Meer, but I'd love to have
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a serious talk with him about this. I'm just I'm baffled, befuddled,
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: and bewildered, lots of bees and that he would even
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: come up with something like this. The last thing we
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: would want is a lifetime ban of Michigan football. Or
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: maybe that's just me. Maybe you think it'd be great
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: if we didn't have a two one ninety eighty six.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: You're welcome to argue and tell me you disagree. You'll
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: be wrong, of course, but still you're welcome to do that.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I just I saw that headlined. I'm normally not somebody
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: who goes, you know, berserk over sports stuff, but that
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: that just came across as just unbelievable. I clicked on
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: the story to read it because I think, Okay, is
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: this a Babylon bee thing? Is this an onion thing?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Is this you know? Is there a sports onion that
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: I don't know about? This can't be real, but it
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: appears to be real that he I just don't get that.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, it does not make any sense to me
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: at all. You want football is like the gladiators of
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: old and seeing these guys in the arena fighting their
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: their their nemesis is what it comes down to.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: Especially when you're down nine games, you know what I mean.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: But especially when you're the head to head rivalry and
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: you're down nine games.
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: You know what if Ohio State had a terrible, terrible season,
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: like lost everything, and then beat Michigan the last there
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: would be something redeeming about that. There really would. I
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: was about to push the button here and go to Dan,
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: and Dan disappeared on it. Did you say something rude
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: to Dan? No?
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: He said he wanted to talk about football, and I said.
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, and then he disappeared. Yeap, huh.
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: I am nice to everybody who.
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: Calls, oh my gosh, no you're not. I've heard stories
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: the new Pope, the new Pope is I mean, he
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: was born here. Many people saying, well, he's been in
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Peruvian citizen, he's been living in Peru for thirty years,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: and so forth. What struck me today is that as
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the video was rolling, I think it was Fox News.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: It was on in the studio. We've got monitors all
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: over this building. I think it was Fox. But they
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: were showing him speaking and he was wearing just a
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: regular brave business suit. It wasn't you know, his cardinal stuff.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: And as I'm looking at him, his physical features and
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: so forth, and just the turn of his head and
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: his movement, I honestly was thinking, you know, he kind
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: of reminds me of Barack Obama, which I know sounds crazy, right. Well, no,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: because apparently multiple genealogists are now checking in, including Louisiana
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Creole expert Jari Hanorra from the Historic New Orleans Collection,
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: traced this new pope's ancestry back to the black community
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: of New Orleans. I can't believe, being that, you know,
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: race is all important in media matters anymore, I can't
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: believe they're not all over this first black pope. Well
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: he's not. Actually there was another black pope which like
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: the year four and ninety six I think it was. Yeah,
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: he was of African decent if I'm not mistaken. But yeah,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I can't believe this is not a big deal to
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: the media, that they're not pounding this story left and right,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: that you know, this guy with his ancestry apparently on
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: his mom's side was African American and she lived in
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the New Orleans Creole area until they moved to Chicago,
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: and Leo the fourteenth is not known to a publicly
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: commented on his African ancestry, which is part of a
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: mixed heritage also includes French, Italian, and Spanish roots. According
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: to the US Census, his mother, the late Mildred, was
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: a mixed race daughter of a black property owner and
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: an Italian born Joseph Martinez Italian born Oh, I'm sorry,
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Haitian born jose I told you these glasses stink. Haitian
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: born Joseph Martinez and New Orleans native Louise. I'm gonna
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: go with Basquai, who was a Creole, which were like
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Black Americans with French roots, I think. But anyway, that
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: explains why when I saw him, I thought he kind
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: of minds me of Barack Obama. He does have this
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: mixed heritage ancestry. And the way things work in at
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: least here in the United States is, you know, you
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: could be like fifty eight different things, but if black
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: guy's one of them, your birth certificate says black. I
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: don't know if they still do that or not, but
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: that's I mean, that's how it was with mine. I
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: say that all the time people. But now that's not
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: all I guess that. Yes, there is way, Yes, there
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: is way. And well, which one of you, which one
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: of your parents? What's black? Which one? My parents look
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: just like me? Never met my grandfather on my dad's side,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: but I met my grandma. She looked just like me.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: My grandma on my mom's side looked just like me.
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Grandpa on the mom's side looked just like me. But
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: somewhere along the line, somebody black sneaked in there, just
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: tipped up one night and the next thing, you know. Yeah,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the birth certificate says negro, and my family is a
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: veritable hodgepodge of complexions and skin tones and so forth.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Does that say my birth certificate says I was born
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: a male Negro?
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: Yes, they did back then.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: I don't think they do now because I don't know,
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: is it.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: I don't I've just never heard in a long time.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I don't negro. There's there's a negron, there's uh uh.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: The Spanish word for the color black is negro. I
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: don't consider it offensive, you know what. I don't consider
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: any word offensive. Words themselves are just words, that's all
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: they are. They are words. They are phonetic structures. That's it.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Now your intention behind the word, how you use it,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: that determines whether or not it is offensive to me.
• 11:55
  Speaker 1: So you know you describe me as, oh, yeah, the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: the bull guy. I don't care unless you're like, yeah,
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: the bold guy. Okay, now there's fighting words, same words,
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: different intent. Suddenly it's offensive. But I think we put
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: way too much stock into that hole. You know, he
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: he used offensive language. It's that that's hate speech. No
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: hate speech depends on whether or not you hate somebody
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: when you're talking about him, doesn't it. I'm just I'm sorry.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: I'm so common sense. I scare myself sometimes. The idea,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: the idea, and I don't know what a little what
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: a little white children have on their birth certificates back then?
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: Did it say whitey or a cracker or what I mean?
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: I don't I have no Was it Caucasian, which is
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: actually of calcazoid comes from caulcazoid, doesn't it.
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: I haven't any idea.
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: What does that? Negroid and calcazoid, the dark complected and
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: the white complected, those are I think the the more
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: scientific terms. Well I learned something, then yeah, people say, well,
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: so so what do you identify as Chuck. That's pretty much. Yet,
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: I grew up my street where I grew up, on
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: my beloved West Side. Over there on the hilltop Belvedere
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Avenue was a veritable United Nations. There was everybody, everybody
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: on my all kinds of colors, ages, backgrounds. I listen
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: to me, listen, this is gospel, people, I am telling
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: you the absolute truth. I had no idea what my
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: ethnicity was until Columbus City Schools started desegregation, until nineteen
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: seventy six, when Judge Robert Duncan decided that the best
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: way to solve racial inequalities and Columbus was to send
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: all the poor black kids to the rich white schools
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: and take all those rich white kids and send them
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: to poor black schools. That made sense to somebody some sometime.
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: But they were counting kids in the classroom in preparation
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: for the next year's desegregation, and they called down and
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: they said, miss Cannon, I'm surely Cannon. She was my
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: sixth grade teacher, Miss Cannon, we need to count, please,
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: And she said, I don't know what it was like,
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: number one eleven, number two, thirteen. And I was bright
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: enough to know ones and twos in the Gray book
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: were black kids and white kids. White kids were number one,
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: of course, because that's the way society had it, you
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying. And two's were black kids. And
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: I said, you got too many two's in there. And
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: she said, well, what are you, Charles. I said, I'm
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: a one. She said, no, you're too I said, no,
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: I'm a one. George is a two. I'm a one,
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: which is hilarious because George ended up married to one
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: of my sisters. But they took me to the office again. People, listen,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: this is gospel. I'm telling you the truth. They took
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: me to the office and made me call home and
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: ask my mommy what color I was.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: And she told you.
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: She said, if they have to put a label on you,
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: you just tell them you are colored. I mean color,
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: what color? What are you talking? I'll explain when you
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: get home. So I got home and Mom had all
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: these pictures laid out on the table, I mean black
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: and white photos. Old She had some ten types from
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: the Old West type. There ten types of relatives, and
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: there were American Indians in there, and there were slaves
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: in there, and there were slave owners in there, and
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: she said, this is your family. These are the people
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: that came together to make you. I said, so all
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: had different kinds of people, and said, yes, that's why
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: she didn't want me to be colored or black. She
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: want me to be colored because she said, you're American, Indian,
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: and you are African, and you are He'll Billy, and
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: you are you all kinds of stuff, but we don't
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: care about that. I said, no, I don't care. She said,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: so what do you think. I said, I'm gonna go play,
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: and I went out and played with my buddy Brian.
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: That was the end of it.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: I was pretty confused for a while. What I was
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: took a while, so they had to explain it to
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: me like that too.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Well, with the beard, it's male is pretty obvious, will
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: I know? But seriously that that is how I found
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: out about ethnicity. And so there's no word anybody can
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: use around me, not even the dreaded in word, unless
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: they mean to offend me. I mean, I grew up.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: I got my sense of humor listening to Richard Pryor.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Words are just words. Intent means everything.
