Latest / So Shameless / Why Do Black People Hold On To The Pain Of Racism So Tightly???
Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Truth to you, and I'm willing to know because I
- 0:03Speaker 1: think it's again, this is why it goes. It's spiritual
- 0:05Speaker 1: because I like to look at history. When you look
- 0:07Speaker 1: at Hitler, bro Hitler, if you look at mind komp
- 0:11Speaker 1: he thought he was bringing back the Roman Empire who
- 0:13Speaker 1: was brutalizing everybody that didn't look like them. They didn't
- 0:16Speaker 1: and so we see this over the time of history,
- 0:20Speaker 1: so white supremacist that he ain't doing nothing new, just
- 0:23Speaker 1: doing what they did.
- 0:24Speaker 2: But they've always done that. It's spiritual. Yes, that's not spiritual,
- 0:28Speaker 2: that's fucking evil. But yes, because there's evil spirits. Go ahead,
- 0:33Speaker 2: there's evil spirits.
- 0:34Speaker 1: I get that.
- 0:34Speaker 3: Okay, Okay, you.
- 0:36Speaker 4: Know this is kind of circles back to how we started.
- 0:39Speaker 4: Like the difference between white and black people. I think
- 0:41Speaker 4: there is an inherent different not just in the case,
- 0:44Speaker 4: and like I can't really explain it, but like books
- 0:48Speaker 4: like the Celestine Prophecy kind of touches on it with
- 0:52Speaker 4: their lack of melanin and so because of that, it's
- 0:56Speaker 4: like they try to extract energy from us. So it's
- 1:00Speaker 4: it's almost like and this is obviously a generalization, general realization.
- 1:04Speaker 4: There are some white folks that are allies and people
- 1:07Speaker 4: that I consider true friends, but on a whole, as
- 1:10Speaker 4: a community and as the destruction that white folks have
- 1:15Speaker 4: done to the world. The way that they move is
- 1:18Speaker 4: different than the way melanated people move, you know what
- 1:21Speaker 4: I mean. It's just history, and the reason behind it
- 1:27Speaker 4: is probably somewhat tied to some of these theories. I
- 1:30Speaker 4: don't know that for sure, but you know, I think
- 1:32Speaker 4: there's something there.
- 1:33Speaker 5: I think there's way. It's way easier than this, bro.
- 1:38Speaker 5: If we could talk about four hundred years of slavery
- 1:42Speaker 5: and the Black American experience here, if we can talk
- 1:45Speaker 5: about the experience of people that have gone through slavery
- 1:48Speaker 5: in your country, right, imagine being on top since the
- 1:54Speaker 5: beginning of all of this, since the Caucaus Mountains. Imagine
- 1:59Speaker 5: leaving the Caucasus Mountains. Y'all, the niggas got trees down there?
- 2:02Speaker 5: Why were you up paying the fucking mountains?
- 2:05Speaker 2: Fuck them niggas go down there and you take the
- 2:07Speaker 2: shit and then you build some shit over there. But Jay,
- 2:10Speaker 2: they got buffalo running in the oh. But who the
- 2:12Speaker 2: fuck is them Irish niggas over there?
- 2:15Speaker 6: The fuck them niggas, Get them them shits over there
- 2:17Speaker 6: and you that's who you have been your entire life.
- 2:21Speaker 2: Your entire existence is the top of the food chain.
- 2:25Speaker 2: There's just a different knowledge of self. It's just a
- 2:29Speaker 2: different existence.
- 2:30Speaker 1: Like you know.
- 2:32Speaker 3: In the Caucasians.
- 2:33Speaker 4: Yeah, oh, they were absolutely not at the top of
- 2:35Speaker 4: the food chains until maybe fourteen hundreds APE. It was
- 2:42Speaker 4: always people of color. It was it was like Asians
- 2:44Speaker 4: and blacks, like around those from christ from zero BC
- 2:50Speaker 4: to like the fourteen hundreds, it was a mixture of
- 2:56Speaker 4: Chinese and Asian empires that rule like right.
- 2:59Speaker 5: For so, then why don't the Asians do that thing?
- 3:01Speaker 5: Do they do they move like white people?
- 3:04Speaker 1: No, I don't think so.
- 3:06Speaker 3: But if they was at the begin at the top
- 3:07Speaker 3: all the time, then what's the difference.
- 3:09Speaker 5: But I also think that how I think the movement
- 3:11Speaker 5: also comes from the closeness that's tied to the religion
- 3:14Speaker 5: that each race is kind of closely tied to.
- 3:18Speaker 3: And I think the religion part of it.
- 3:21Speaker 5: I think that also brought a lot of violence too,
- 3:23Speaker 5: because you know, they not only killed black people, they
- 3:25Speaker 5: kill white people as well too. It was like a thing, right,
- 3:28Speaker 5: and it was like you know, all of those those
- 3:30Speaker 5: scientific people when I forgot his name, but the guy
- 3:33Speaker 5: that discovered that the universe didn't revolve around Earth, it
- 3:37Speaker 5: revolved around the Sun, like when that first got presented,
- 3:39Speaker 5: or they killed a boatload of those people just because
- 3:42Speaker 5: it didn't a line up with what they had already had,
- 3:44Speaker 5: you know what I'm saying. So if we already have
- 3:45Speaker 5: something that we're trying to sell and you are coming
- 3:47Speaker 5: talking about some science, respectfully, we're about to get you
- 3:49Speaker 5: out of gain because you're not lining up with what
- 3:52Speaker 5: we already had set up. But you know, like I said,
- 3:55Speaker 5: because of other people was able to verify the information,
- 3:58Speaker 5: they had to change course, and they they kind of
- 4:00Speaker 5: just had to be like, I mean, yeah, we killed
- 4:02Speaker 5: mad people, but my bad, they was right type shit.
- 4:06Speaker 5: So they've always that's always been a part of the
- 4:10Speaker 5: deck for them, I would say.
- 4:11Speaker 4: And I want to add like Europeans have rewrote history.
- 4:14Speaker 4: They literally came in the twelve hundreds and thirteen hundreds,
- 4:19Speaker 4: burned spiritual cities in Middle East and Northern Africa, burned
- 4:25Speaker 4: all the books and literally rewrote history and acted like
- 4:30Speaker 4: the Greeks and the Romans were responsible for all of
- 4:33Speaker 4: the mathematics and science and law and order, you know
- 4:36Speaker 4: what I mean? And they and you know, as you
- 4:38Speaker 4: can see in Egypt, they tried to destroy the noses.
- 4:44Speaker 4: You know what I mean. Yeah, it's a thing.
- 4:47Speaker 5: It's like whoever wins the war gets to control history exactly,
- 4:50Speaker 5: whoever wins the battle.
- 4:51Speaker 1: Think it goes to kind of what I think. It's
- 4:55Speaker 1: the cure to me is love. And when I say love,
- 4:59Speaker 1: I agree, I'm going to ask you what does love
- 5:01Speaker 1: look like to someone that isn't black?
- 5:05Speaker 3: And in what way?
- 5:06Speaker 4: Like?
- 5:08Speaker 1: Because yeah, honestly a love for okay, better said, I
- 5:15Speaker 1: believe love. God is love. He does not have love.
- 5:17Speaker 1: God is love, Love is who he is. And so
- 5:20Speaker 1: if love is a love without bounds, a love without condition,
- 5:24Speaker 1: and so there's nothing that you can do to earn
- 5:27Speaker 1: what I do for you. Love acts because of the
- 5:30Speaker 1: love that one is. And so I say that to say,
- 5:34Speaker 1: how do you have an unconditional love? Or just a question,
- 5:39Speaker 1: how do you wrestle with that to somebody whose lineage
- 5:44Speaker 1: have brutalized your people?
- 5:50Speaker 5: I can't have unconditional love, not with them.
- 5:55Speaker 3: I can't. I can't.
- 5:56Speaker 2: You asking me if I can love them unconditionally, No,
- 5:58Speaker 2: I cannot. I will not that's a choice, and the feeling,
- 6:01Speaker 2: it's an emotion. There's no way I can trust white
- 6:03Speaker 2: people enough to love them unconditionally. You have to prove
- 6:07Speaker 2: your love for me. You have to prove your alignment
- 6:09Speaker 2: with me. You have to prove your alignment with my.
- 6:11Speaker 5: People for me to even think about loving you or
- 6:14Speaker 5: liking you or tolerating you.
- 6:17Speaker 1: That's a fact. I'm with whatever.
- 6:20Speaker 2: I'm with whatever, right but I'm not just gonna like
- 6:24Speaker 2: And when I say whatever, that means love or hate,
- 6:28Speaker 2: because I'm willing to meet you in the middle.
- 6:30Speaker 1: Of the field.
- 6:31Speaker 2: You don't see what's going on in this country right now.
- 6:33Speaker 2: They at war with us, monigger. They dead ass they
- 6:36Speaker 2: and were not even bothering that. We're just trying to
- 6:37Speaker 2: get through college. Were literally just trying to get healthcare.
- 6:42Speaker 6: There's regular people out here that's just trying to make
- 6:44Speaker 6: it to okay.
- 6:48Speaker 3: And you got these people looking like they want to
- 6:51Speaker 3: be okay.
- 6:51Speaker 5: Get them what. I ain't got time for love. I
- 6:57Speaker 5: don't even know how. And this is what I was
- 6:59Speaker 5: talking about with black men. Why did we got time
- 7:02Speaker 5: to be worried about loving them?
- 7:05Speaker 3: We ain't even take it with.
- 7:07Speaker 1: All due expect We got to spend more time on
- 7:09Speaker 1: loving each other, especially black men, especially black men. We
- 7:14Speaker 1: got to spend more time on celebrating our skin, our people,
- 7:18Speaker 1: our ourselves in order to be able to love our
- 7:22Speaker 1: women and our children and build our communities. Fuck them,
- 7:27Speaker 1: they the last thing on the list, especially when I
- 7:30Speaker 1: said they attacking us, Bro, everything about us and you,
- 7:35Speaker 1: it's it's I don't want to say surprising, but as
- 7:39Speaker 1: a dark dark you't the darkest man in this room
- 7:42Speaker 1: to be saying why can't we love or how do
- 7:44Speaker 1: we love them? It's at something I just can't identify
- 7:48Speaker 1: because I look at it, like how do you? I
- 7:52Speaker 1: believe the way to love yourself is learning to love
- 7:55Speaker 1: somebody that does not deserve your love. That is true
- 7:58Speaker 1: love for yourself, because I don't deserve the love of God.
- 8:01Speaker 1: I don't, Bro. I've done some crazy stuff in my life.
- 8:04Speaker 1: I've done some things that I wish I would take back, Bro,
- 8:08Speaker 1: But I've been able to receive a love that don't
- 8:11Speaker 1: make sense. And so from that place of surrender and humility, BRO,
- 8:16Speaker 1: like I like. It's a choice to love. I don't
- 8:19Speaker 1: have to like you, like, Bro, I don't again self
- 8:22Speaker 1: love is like if you talk to me crazy, I'm
- 8:24Speaker 1: gonna handle it. That's self love to myself. But when
- 8:27Speaker 1: it comes to training or training myself too, I'm going
- 8:31Speaker 1: to act in line with this person based on their
- 8:34Speaker 1: They're made in the image of God. That's all I need.
- 8:36Speaker 1: That's all I need to love them. That does not
- 8:39Speaker 1: mean to yippy, but it means to see them with
- 8:42Speaker 1: a person with dignity and give them a chance.
- 8:45Speaker 2: I understand that, and so that that's more godly. I
- 8:48Speaker 2: think that's more like of Jesus and what he's speaking. Absolutely, yeah,
- 8:52Speaker 2: I agree, No, I agree with that. I think for me,
- 8:54Speaker 2: I agree with some of what you said.
- 8:57Speaker 5: I think that for me, I think as a black person,
- 9:00Speaker 5: I think it's very important to not turn into the
- 9:03Speaker 5: things that we hate, right, And I think we fall
- 9:06Speaker 5: into that sometimes. And I think to your point, right,
- 9:09Speaker 5: those people that we were talking, that we were speaking
- 9:10Speaker 5: about that are on the other side, it's like, damn, like,
- 9:13Speaker 5: I don't want my dislike for them or how they
- 9:15Speaker 5: move to turn for that to turn in sorry for
- 9:19Speaker 5: that to turn me into them. So now I'm doing
- 9:21Speaker 5: and moving like the people that I said I didn't like.
- 9:23Speaker 5: You know what I'm saying so I try to separate it.
- 9:25Speaker 5: I don't have to. I don't have to go out
- 9:27Speaker 5: my way, but I don't have to become you, right,
- 9:29Speaker 5: I don't have to be hateful. I don't have to
- 9:30Speaker 5: go out my way to you know what I'm saying,
- 9:32Speaker 5: do other shit, and I can just be okay.
- 9:34Speaker 1: Okay, question for you, because again it's a huge problem
- 9:38Speaker 1: again white supremacy. For supremacy is one thing, but my
- 9:42Speaker 1: thing is not becoming the thing that we hate. If
- 9:45Speaker 1: that thing has been a through line throughout history. We
- 9:48Speaker 1: talked about the Romans and if you stayed Roman Empire,
- 9:51Speaker 1: they used to brute a lot. It's not in American
- 9:55Speaker 1: white people. That thing is a spirit on how you
- 9:57Speaker 1: you try to brutalize the whole people group. Get them
- 10:00Speaker 1: out because they're like if you are there's stories in
- 10:03Speaker 1: the Bible about Pharaoh. If you have an Egyptian, they
- 10:05Speaker 1: come up, Hey, kill them all, kill them all, get
- 10:07Speaker 1: them out Like that is a that's something that stands
- 10:10Speaker 1: the test of time. And so if you don't want
- 10:12Speaker 1: to be like you hate, when I hear that, I'm
- 10:14Speaker 1: like good, that's evil. You don't want to be an
- 10:16Speaker 1: evil person. But I don't want to attach a label
- 10:18Speaker 1: to somebody's skin to it. That's that's kind of my.
- 10:21Speaker 5: Position, and I get that, and I think for me,
- 10:24Speaker 5: for me, everything goes back to being human, like the
- 10:26Speaker 5: color and where we're from. That is like second and third,
- 10:30Speaker 5: it's all about being human beings at the end of
- 10:31Speaker 5: the day, because that's what we all are. You know
- 10:33Speaker 5: what I'm saying. It's not like you're we're other entities.
- 10:36Speaker 5: We're human first. That's the first thing that we are
- 10:38Speaker 5: as human, and then all the other stuff follows. So
- 10:40Speaker 5: I think if you if you look at love from
- 10:42Speaker 5: that perspective, it's easy to look at people that are
- 10:44Speaker 5: not like you and you know, be able to have
- 10:46Speaker 5: some type of grace and dignity because you're looking from
- 10:48Speaker 5: a human level. And we start talking about major events
- 10:52Speaker 5: and different things that pull us together, like, you know,
- 10:54Speaker 5: when this shit is all over, we're not going to
- 10:55Speaker 5: be arguing about who's black, who's white, who got money?
- 10:58Speaker 5: Now where the world is over, she goes out the window.
- 11:00Speaker 5: Now it's gonna be like, yo, are you us?
- 11:02Speaker 2: No, me, let me put a pause in this right,
- 11:05Speaker 2: because I got an idea of whore I'm gonna take
- 11:07Speaker 2: this right hold on.
- 11:09Speaker 4: Yeah, they didn't like my comment about liking who likes me?
- 11:13Speaker 1: And that's cool. I mean, people have their own circle
- 11:16Speaker 1: back to that. It's not it's not on somebody to
- 11:19Speaker 1: tell you what you think.
- 11:20Speaker 4: For sure, but sometimes you say things and without expanding
- 11:25Speaker 4: on it or explaining it.
- 11:27Speaker 1: My thing is not even saying that.
- 11:29Speaker 4: They was like, oh, you're just settling there.
- 11:30Speaker 1: Yeah, one thing my dad told me about this, and
- 11:33Speaker 1: it's just it's just interesting. It gives your freedom to
- 11:36Speaker 1: be yourself, bro, not even saying this about you, but
- 11:39Speaker 1: you can be loud and wrong. You can say your opinion. Yeah,
- 11:43Speaker 1: this idea that you got to shut up into you like,
- 11:45Speaker 1: it's not realistic, it's not real conversation. And so a
- 11:49Speaker 1: lot of people come to me like, my friends, how
- 11:51Speaker 1: do I post? Bro, post your opinions? And then over time,
- 11:54Speaker 1: when you realize the value and the responsibility you are
- 11:57Speaker 1: to be accountable to the audience that you have, then
- 11:59Speaker 1: it'll it will train you as somebody of value, somebody
- 12:02Speaker 1: that values you know, growing and poort into people that
- 12:06Speaker 1: I got to change the way I communicate, bro like,
- 12:09Speaker 1: and people always will always will have something to say,
- 12:13Speaker 1: you know, And so even for the people that's listening,
- 12:16Speaker 1: that's them too, like they want to be able to
- 12:18Speaker 1: express themselves freely and be wrong. All right, So don't
- 12:21Speaker 1: you dad call open your mouth and say something that
- 12:26Speaker 1: put you can engage in conversation and have a different opinion.
- 12:30Speaker 1: We don't have to agree, but we have to give
- 12:32Speaker 1: ourselves a chance to have a platform to share our
- 12:34Speaker 1: different ideas.
- 12:37Speaker 5: In fact, you know, I was listening to y'all, to
- 12:41Speaker 5: you all, I was listening to you guys, and obviously
- 12:46Speaker 5: before the show, I always come up with all of
- 12:48Speaker 5: these different topics for us to talk about. I knew
- 12:51Speaker 5: there was a bunch of men in the room, and
- 12:53Speaker 5: I wanted to cater this conversation to the fact that
- 12:56Speaker 5: all of us are different, different places in our lives
- 13:00Speaker 5: from culture, you know, different cultures, trauma and I are different,
- 13:03Speaker 5: we both I would say, I'm Black American, he's Jamaican American,
- 13:06Speaker 5: he's North Carolina American. I no, I hate him, uh,
- 13:14Speaker 5: but we all have different and we're at different places
- 13:16Speaker 5: in our lives.
- 13:17Speaker 1: Right. A young man was.
- 13:22Speaker 5: Did this thing where he was let me see if
- 13:25Speaker 5: I can find these things in the street, and he's
- 13:29Speaker 5: asking these questions and I think it leads to humanity.
- 13:33Speaker 2: I just I just find it funny that we was
- 13:35Speaker 2: talking about this. Let me find it and see here
- 13:40Speaker 2: it goes.
- 13:44Speaker 7: Rather your girl be stuck in the woods with a
- 13:45Speaker 7: random bear or a random man?
- 13:48Speaker 1: Why is that? Could it bearing go?
- 13:50Speaker 7: Would you rather your girl be stuck in the woods
- 13:52Speaker 7: or a random bear or a random man? You said
- 13:55Speaker 7: you don't know what the what the man's gonna do?
- 13:57Speaker 7: Rather your girl be stuck in the woods or a
- 13:58Speaker 7: random bear or a random man?
- 14:00Speaker 3: Random bear? They do like you don't know what the
- 14:04Speaker 3: they could do?
- 14:04Speaker 7: Rather your girl be stuck in the woods with a
- 14:06Speaker 7: random barrel or random man?
- 14:08Speaker 1: I just gonna have to die by that bear.
- 14:09Speaker 7: Gain say that I'm up by bears. Would you rather
- 14:16Speaker 7: your girl be stuck in the woods or the random
- 14:17Speaker 7: bear of random man?
- 14:18Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 14:19Speaker 7: I think I take the man was a I don't know, Mary,
- 14:22Speaker 7: you stand up chance at least man you can like
- 14:24Speaker 7: refer back to humanity. Would y'all rather your girl be
- 14:27Speaker 7: stuck in the woods or a random bear or random man?
- 14:29Speaker 1: A random man? Why he said that? I mean a bear.
- 14:31Speaker 1: She's gonna die, bro. I can only pray that a
- 14:33Speaker 1: man get her there sation he get back to dude,
- 14:36Speaker 1: I care about you.
- 14:36Speaker 7: Go God, But y'all rather your girl be stuck in
- 14:38Speaker 7: the woods or a random bear or random man?
- 14:40Speaker 3: Random bear, y'all pick beard?
- 14:43Speaker 1: You do? Man?
- 14:45Speaker 2: We saw where that was going. It was a bunch.
- 14:47Speaker 2: There's a bunch more ninety of the men that they
- 14:52Speaker 2: want my girl to get killed by beer would rather
- 14:53Speaker 2: than women in the in the woods with the bear.
- 14:56Speaker 3: What is that?
- 14:58Speaker 5: I think that says more about what they think about
- 15:00Speaker 5: men than anything. But he's talking about spirituality. Yeah, he's
- 15:03Speaker 5: talking about how love and when we don't even believe
- 15:07Speaker 5: that generally about each other.
- 15:10Speaker 2: And I think there was a white dude in there
- 15:11Speaker 2: right for some reason, didn't the white dude was like,
- 15:13Speaker 2: oh no, yeah with the man.
- 15:15Speaker 3: Man because he's like, why he's gonna get here?
- 15:17Speaker 1: Had no chance?
- 15:18Speaker 2: Because let's think about our existence and why it is
- 15:22Speaker 2: that the black men, especially the youth, because it sounds
- 15:25Speaker 2: like it was a bunch of young guys right in
- 15:27Speaker 2: the twenties at Lisa right, would rather trust they girl
- 15:31Speaker 2: around fucking bear than another dude.
- 15:36Speaker 1: What is that? It's a it's a consequence of a
- 15:39Speaker 1: falling humanity. I believe again, I love. I'm not religious
- 15:45Speaker 1: to have a relationship with Christ. So my my standpoint
- 15:48Speaker 1: will always come from that foundation. And so if you
- 15:50Speaker 1: look at Genesis one twenty six, it says, let us
- 15:53Speaker 1: make man in our own image and our own likeness,
- 15:55Speaker 1: and let them have dominion or the fisher to see
- 15:58Speaker 1: the birds of the air and the creeps that crawl
- 16:00Speaker 1: on the ground. And so the mandate for man is
- 16:03Speaker 1: the name of the species, not a gender. So one man,
- 16:05Speaker 1: man was to have dominion, domination, authority over the earth.
- 16:09Speaker 1: And so in Genesis two, God says he looks at everything.
- 16:12Speaker 1: He declared it good, good, good, good good, and he
- 16:15Speaker 1: literally paused. And if I may say it like this,
- 16:17Speaker 1: he had a problem. He didn't have a man to dominate.
- 16:20Speaker 1: And till the land. You have a man in the
- 16:23Speaker 1: God in the earthly, in the heavenly realms is love.
- 16:26Speaker 1: So love has to share itself for love to be loved.
- 16:29Speaker 1: So he creates man in the earthly realms. Man is
- 16:31Speaker 1: the name of the spirit of the species, not the gender.
- 16:34Speaker 1: But man is a spirit. And he says, hey, I
- 16:37Speaker 1: have everything that I've made, and I declare it good,
- 16:39Speaker 1: and I'm not going to cause rain to come down
- 16:41Speaker 1: because I don't have a man to till and work
- 16:43Speaker 1: the land. Guess what, I'm gonna pick up some dirt
- 16:45Speaker 1: and I'm gonna breathe my life into dirt. Man became
- 16:49Speaker 1: a living soul. The Bible says, so you have spirit
- 16:52Speaker 1: made in Genesis one, then you have the dirt the
- 16:54Speaker 1: body part. Then you have his breath made the soul.
- 16:57Speaker 1: Man is spirit, soul and body. I am a spirit.
- 17:00Speaker 1: I have a soul. What does that mind? Will, emotions, motivations, intentions.
- 17:04Speaker 1: I live in the casing of a body. And so
- 17:06Speaker 1: God placed the man Adam into his presence and says, hey, bro,
- 17:09Speaker 1: go to work. And then he said everything he says, Okay,
- 17:12Speaker 1: let me put you down out of your rib. I'm
- 17:14Speaker 1: gonna make Eve and y'all gonna go to work together.
- 17:17Speaker 1: But one rule. You see that tree right there, don't
- 17:20Speaker 1: eat from it because the day you eat from it,
- 17:22Speaker 1: you're dead. And so it's interesting for me. I always
- 17:26Speaker 1: was like, Okay, how come he said Adam is dead?
- 17:30Speaker 1: But the biblical narrative says that Adam lived to nine
- 17:33Speaker 1: hundred and thirty years, like he did not die physically.
- 17:37Speaker 1: How come question? Because when God says he's dead. When
- 17:40Speaker 1: he eats it, it means his spirit. Why, because God
- 17:43Speaker 1: knows himself. God says, I'm holy. And so the day
- 17:46Speaker 1: that you declare independence from me by way of eating
- 17:49Speaker 1: that apple, you're dead. You lose the breath that I've
- 17:52Speaker 1: breathed into you. That's why if we look at the Bible,
- 17:55Speaker 1: you see the whole Old Testament, the Holy Spirit will
- 17:57Speaker 1: come upon Like Samson, he'd do mighty work and then
- 18:00Speaker 1: he'd leave. Why because you got a dirt suit. I
- 18:03Speaker 1: don't do dirt suit, only for what I have to do.
- 18:05Speaker 1: Then I'm dipping. He went on. David. David would do
- 18:08Speaker 1: mighty works and then he'd leave. Interesting because after man
- 18:12Speaker 1: fell in Genesis, he says, Okay, you're dead, but I'm
- 18:15Speaker 1: coming in a seed, and the seed's going to crush
- 18:17Speaker 1: the head. What is that the authority of the snake,
- 18:20Speaker 1: which was invested by Satan himself, I'm coming to crush
- 18:23Speaker 1: that head. I'm coming in the seed. Translate. Years later,
- 18:26Speaker 1: you have the body. You have the man Jesus who
- 18:29Speaker 1: came in a seed born of woman, and he died,
- 18:31Speaker 1: he rose to live to then when he rose, I
- 18:34Speaker 1: loved the Bible bro. When he rot, I can tell,
- 18:37Speaker 1: but you missed him. No, no, I'm still going. When he rose,
- 18:41Speaker 1: he went to the upper room because they was hiding
- 18:43Speaker 1: from them, the people that just killed Christ. He breathed
- 18:46Speaker 1: on them. He said, what receive ye the Holy Spirit?
- 18:49Speaker 1: So the man that lost it to begin, Okay, the
- 18:53Speaker 1: next man, God himself came in flesh to breathe his
- 18:56Speaker 1: life into his own again, so we can live again.
- 19:00Speaker 1: What am I saying? This whole world is under a
- 19:03Speaker 1: fallen state. That's why there's bad. That's why people have
- 19:07Speaker 1: more faith in a freaking bear than a man, even
- 19:11Speaker 1: knowing the man's flesh or flesh we want to do wrong.
- 19:14Speaker 1: But thankfully, by way of his breath, his life, we
- 19:17Speaker 1: have power. The Bible says, we have power against those things.
- 19:20Speaker 1: And so the work of a believer is to be
- 19:22Speaker 1: able to surrender and to allow the work of Christ
- 19:25Speaker 1: to do his work in our lives and outside of
- 19:28Speaker 1: our lives.
- 19:28Speaker 5: Go ahead, I think you forgot you miss something and
- 19:33Speaker 5: everything that you said Genesis one twenty six. Yeah, God
- 19:39Speaker 5: me man, and he said he had dominion over the
- 19:42Speaker 5: fish and the birds in the air. Right there, you
- 19:47Speaker 5: taught tyranny because we would take that dominion and then
- 19:52Speaker 5: turn it on each other.
- 19:54Speaker 1: It's hue.
- 19:55Speaker 2: It becomes human nature right then and there. When you
- 19:58Speaker 2: said I am over.
- 20:00Speaker 1: You, I would say tyrany. I actually agree. I would
- 20:03Speaker 1: say tyranny happened when the fall happened, because everything that
- 20:06Speaker 1: he called good, everything that we're supposed to Again, we're
- 20:09Speaker 1: not supposed to dominate people, he said over efficiency, which
- 20:12Speaker 1: I agree. I don't think that's tyranny to say, Hey, bro,
- 20:15Speaker 1: like the earth, the animals and stuff, there's dominion.
- 20:18Speaker 2: Now we're gonna we're gonna teach. We're gonna learn from that.
- 20:21Speaker 2: Evolution says that we learned from not necessarily until the fall.
- 20:25Speaker 2: Until I can't say that good then, But you know
- 20:28Speaker 2: that's where we are though, Yes, regardless of anything. Yes
- 20:31Speaker 2: know that these men we question women that choose the bear,
- 20:35Speaker 2: but when we in a room with each other, we
- 20:37Speaker 2: want them with the bear too.
- 20:39Speaker 1: And you tell me why. I again, it's depravity, it's
- 20:43Speaker 1: falling man, and it's our own. We all fend for ourselves.
- 20:47Speaker 1: We were not made for like we were made to
- 20:49Speaker 1: connect with each other. We were made from love to love,
- 20:52Speaker 1: literally love himself. Had he didn't have to make this earth.
- 20:56Speaker 1: But because he loves he decided to make this earth,
- 20:58Speaker 1: He decided to make us. And so because he decided
- 21:01Speaker 1: to make us, we were supposed to be in connection,
- 21:04Speaker 1: and we had a privilege. The Bible says, it's a
- 21:06Speaker 1: sacred privilege to be able to dominate and be a
- 21:08Speaker 1: good steward of everything. He's given me, my talents, this place,
- 21:12Speaker 1: to have a conversation with people. That's your service to God,
- 21:16Speaker 1: because that's what he's given you. But what happens is
- 21:19Speaker 1: what man says is good. And when sin comes in
- 21:23Speaker 1: a building, it turns it upside down. How come we're
- 21:26Speaker 1: supposed to dominate the earth, but the things that we're
- 21:28Speaker 1: supposed to dominate is dominating us. Oh, drugs dominating us.
- 21:31Speaker 1: We can't get off the drug, can't get off the alcohol,
- 21:33Speaker 1: can't get off the pills. What we're supposed to have
- 21:35Speaker 1: dominion over that he called good is dominating us. That's
- 21:38Speaker 1: called a false reality of false society by way of sin.
- 21:42Speaker 1: And that that's why you need the power of God
- 21:45Speaker 1: himself to be able to outwork that, to be able
- 21:48Speaker 1: to turn that. And that's why God came. That's why
- 21:50Speaker 1: God gave a son to die, and I have these
- 21:53Speaker 1: conversations because it's not a religious thing, because again I
- 21:56Speaker 1: rejected the whole religious No, let's git religious. Religious is
- 21:59Speaker 1: a okay. Religion in general is a practices that bind
- 22:05Speaker 1: us to worship whoever we worship. So in that realm, no,
- 22:09Speaker 1: like I, everybody does religious practices. If you want to
- 22:12Speaker 1: break it down, it's just practices that bind you together.
- 22:14Speaker 1: So every time you pray, every time you worship, that's
- 22:16Speaker 1: a religious practice. But in terms of the cultural society
- 22:19Speaker 1: termed religious, no, I'm not religious. Ill I say Christian
- 22:22Speaker 1: need don't. Don't, nigga. I grew up in locker rooms
- 22:25Speaker 1: where I grew up like that, So I don't like
- 22:28Speaker 1: and so that's why I had myself asking questions, asking questions,
- 22:31Speaker 1: grow up in the church asking questions. But when I
- 22:34Speaker 1: found the answers, and it's in the God Man himself.
- 22:38Speaker 1: They came to die to live, to place his spirit
- 22:40Speaker 1: on the inside of me, so I can live with
- 22:42Speaker 1: a clearity. Like from instance, this is totally unrelated. But
- 22:46Speaker 1: four years abstinate, not because I can. Oh, I'm just strong, nigga,
- 22:51Speaker 1: I'm handsome, I'm strong. Every time I get a pump yeah,
- 22:54Speaker 1: I feel that, but there's a there's a design that
- 22:56Speaker 1: God called me for their calling all my life that
- 22:58Speaker 1: I know, Like bro, I choose because of my love,
- 23:02Speaker 1: not because of these rules, because of my love for Christ.
- 23:05Speaker 1: I ain't gonna do something that he hate. And so
- 23:08Speaker 1: that's the motivation. I always look at the lens of love.
- 23:10Speaker 1: And love isn't just oh what feels good to me,
- 23:13Speaker 1: because it is at but love is a surrender. It's
- 23:16Speaker 1: like I decide. I decide because of who you are
- 23:21Speaker 1: and because of who you've been in my life, and
- 23:23Speaker 1: because of what this means. If the whole world looked
- 23:26Speaker 1: at the lens of love, like the ultimate example, again,
- 23:29Speaker 1: how come every religion respects Christ but they have one disagreement?
- 23:34Speaker 1: Is he God or not? At his deity? That begs
- 23:37Speaker 1: the question we should be a having these conversations about Okay,
- 23:39Speaker 1: let me look at this, let me look at his life,
- 23:41Speaker 1: let me look at how he lives. What's the historical evidence,
- 23:44Speaker 1: what's the archaeological evidence, what is the proof's secular proof
- 23:47Speaker 1: that said, oh, well, he did die under earth, they
- 23:50Speaker 1: did crucify him under Roman crucifixion. If all these questions
- 23:54Speaker 1: are have answers, why are we talking about other things,
- 23:58Speaker 1: because again, there is a reality we live and there
- 24:00Speaker 1: is okay the reality, and go ahead, Yeah, we could
- 24:04Speaker 1: say all of those things. But at the end of
- 24:06Speaker 1: the day is my grandmother served the church for eighty
- 24:11Speaker 1: five years yep. Where she died.
- 24:13Speaker 2: They charged her the burier when she died, they charged
- 24:17Speaker 2: her to rent the damn the hall where she died.
- 24:20Speaker 6: The priests wouldn't show up without three fifty. So you
- 24:25Speaker 6: could say all of that, but we still got to
- 24:27Speaker 6: deal with today. We still got to deal without hair
- 24:30Speaker 6: and humans is fucking all that shit up. So I
- 24:32Speaker 6: could believe in all the paint and the color and
- 24:35Speaker 6: the spears and the spires of the church and all
- 24:37Speaker 6: that other shit. It looks nice stained glass and all that,
- 24:40Speaker 6: but it's humans in there. It's humans in there, and
- 24:45Speaker 6: they ain't safe. And that's what we got to deal
- 24:48Speaker 6: with every day.
- 24:49Speaker 1: I respect that because Bro, I feel I don't resonate
- 24:52Speaker 1: with your exact experience. But my sister that last year
- 24:55Speaker 1: thirty three died of a cute leukemia, served in the church.
- 24:59Speaker 1: We did her service in her church, and Bro I
- 25:01Speaker 1: was so pissed because Bro that she went to a
- 25:04Speaker 1: white church. They had a they were just using her talent,
- 25:07Speaker 1: not paying her. Like, so I resonate with the church
- 25:10Speaker 1: hurt aspect of it. What my angle is exactly, Bro,
- 25:13Speaker 1: that's people. That's not God.
- 25:15Speaker 3: But we can believe in God, but we still got
- 25:17Speaker 3: to deal with people.
- 25:18Speaker 1: Okay. My thing is there's a there's a negative spiritual
- 25:21Speaker 1: side behind people as well. And so Bro, when you
- 25:24Speaker 1: when you when we have these conversations, we have to
- 25:26Speaker 1: look at it from a side of there is an
- 25:29Speaker 1: attack on all of our lives, regardless on what we
- 25:32Speaker 1: look like, and that is by way of sin, that
- 25:35Speaker 1: is by way of Satan himself. He comes to still kill,
- 25:38Speaker 1: destroy and he uses these beautiful conversations we will have
- 25:42Speaker 1: with other people. Then you'll have a thought like he
- 25:44Speaker 1: don't really, you'll have these suggestions that are outside of
- 25:48Speaker 1: our own reality based on what people and culture. Again,
- 25:52Speaker 1: the Bible says the prince of the power of the
- 25:53Speaker 1: world of the earth is Satan. So the world system
- 25:56Speaker 1: culture likes to take a beautiful conversation you might have
- 25:59Speaker 1: with a white per and be like, well they only
- 26:01Speaker 1: did that a nigs start thinking, am I niga? Like no,
- 26:04Speaker 1: it was a good conversation with somebody like and so
- 26:06Speaker 1: I'm so big on knowledge of bro. Yes, history happens,
- 26:10Speaker 1: but what happened before even that history happens. It is
- 26:12Speaker 1: called sin that likes to take all this stuff and
- 26:15Speaker 1: twist it to make us hate each other.
- 26:17Speaker 3: I don't bro. What are y'all wanna say?
- 26:22Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 26:23Speaker 2: Nah, I just I know that passion. I don't fuck
- 26:26Speaker 2: with that with all due respect. Yeah, I don't fuck
- 26:28Speaker 2: with that white people.
- 26:30Speaker 1: It's cool.
- 26:31Speaker 5: I don't have if we've gone back to the white
- 26:33Speaker 5: people think, which I think that We've got so much
- 26:35Speaker 5: more to talk about. But if it's just if we're
- 26:37Speaker 5: going back to I don't fuck with yo, yo, white.
- 26:41Speaker 3: Person, how you doing?
- 26:41Speaker 1: You're good? Cool, no problem.
- 26:44Speaker 2: It's when you're white supremacist or you are in pouring
- 26:49Speaker 2: into racist institutions, racist systems that affect me and minds
- 26:56Speaker 2: where me as a black man or father, a leader,
- 26:58Speaker 2: the patriarch of this community, all do respect to the matriarch.
- 27:02Speaker 2: I got to step up and buck up, and I'm
- 27:03Speaker 2: accepting that charge. So I'm just aware. I'm not hating them.
- 27:08Speaker 1: I'm aware.
- 27:09Speaker 5: That's it being aware, like I said before, to me,
- 27:13Speaker 5: like I said it goes back to the human aspect
- 27:14Speaker 5: of it, and there's just bad humans. There's good humans,
- 27:17Speaker 5: and it's bad humans. I think that's the easiest way
- 27:19Speaker 5: to simplify it, because once you start putting the other
- 27:21Speaker 5: stuff on it, that's when it gets tricky. But like
- 27:24Speaker 5: I said, it's white, black, don't matter.
- 27:26Speaker 1: I'm annoying. What makes a bad again?
- 27:30Speaker 3: So what makes a bad human?
- 27:31Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it could be a plethorad thing and
- 27:34Speaker 5: bad to what again? I think I think obviously bad
- 27:38Speaker 5: is subjective, but I think as I think as humans,
- 27:41Speaker 5: there's certain things that we have to be able to
- 27:42Speaker 5: agree on universally, right. We have to be able to say, Okay,
- 27:46Speaker 5: these set of things are just bad across the board.
- 27:48Speaker 5: It doesn't matter age, raised gender, it's just these things
- 27:52Speaker 5: are bad. So I think we're you just talking about
- 27:54Speaker 5: Like I said, obviously.
- 27:57Speaker 1: I agree with that. That's why I believe it comes
- 27:59Speaker 1: back to who is God? Because how can one say
- 28:02Speaker 1: this is good and without their foundational knowledge on who
- 28:05Speaker 1: is God? And so that's kind of why I lead
- 28:09Speaker 1: with that. It is not to be like all spooky,
- 28:11Speaker 1: but it's like, okay, these common words, these phrases that
- 28:14Speaker 1: this ideal society that we see. Where do we get
- 28:16Speaker 1: that from? Who's our foundation? Does that check out the
- 28:20Speaker 1: questions that we have? Does it align with our experience?
- 28:23Speaker 1: And so as we question ourselves on those it informs
- 28:27Speaker 1: us to how we see people.
- 28:28Speaker 2: I got a question, but change this whole shit up, right,
- 28:32Speaker 2: because I think we've been going in circles for forty minutes,
- 28:36Speaker 2: and I think there's a lot of value in this conversation.
- 28:38Speaker 2: For one, me and this man differed on this podcast
- 28:43Speaker 2: three four years, five years ago. We had a big
- 28:46Speaker 2: thing on this podcast five years ago, and it was
- 28:49Speaker 2: about COVID.
- 28:52Speaker 3: He didn't want to take the jab?
- 28:55Speaker 1: Am I right? Yeah?
- 28:56Speaker 3: I called you irresponsible? Right? It was basically us versus you,
- 29:02Speaker 3: me and Dodge. Am I right?
- 29:04Speaker 1: That happened?
- 29:05Speaker 3: You stood tall on that. Did you take the jab?
- 29:07Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 29:08Speaker 3: You had to? Did you choose to?
- 29:10Speaker 1: I had to play?
- 29:12Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 29:12Speaker 1: I had to.
- 29:12Speaker 3: Did you want to?
- 29:14Speaker 1: I mean I did? No, Honestly I didn't.
- 29:18Speaker 3: Did you believe in it?
- 29:20Speaker 1: Because Bro, I'm weird. I'm like him almost like bro, like,
- 29:23Speaker 1: how do you? I had to letten? And so maybe
- 29:27Speaker 1: I didn't have an informed opinion like you, But I
- 29:29Speaker 1: didn't really want to, but I had to.
- 29:32Speaker 3: I don't know if I was. How could you be informed?
- 29:34Speaker 1: You did?
- 29:35Speaker 2: You're being processed, You're being you're being programmed, right, We're
- 29:40Speaker 2: being programmed through the information they send in us.
- 29:42Speaker 3: He's like, I'm not dealing with the program. You're not
- 29:44Speaker 3: gonna make me. Yeah, but it doesn't history doesn't support
- 29:48Speaker 3: that this is healthy. Yes, yes, that's the same thing.
- 29:51Speaker 1: And I agreeed you take the jab.
- 29:52Speaker 3: No, I don't know.
- 29:54Speaker 1: I had to.
- 29:55Speaker 5: No, I was never doing that. I had a conversation
- 29:57Speaker 5: with mom. I remember my mom, my mom, uncle. They
- 30:00Speaker 5: both took it in there. You know what I'm saying.
- 30:02Speaker 5: They had to, and I was. I think it's one
- 30:05Speaker 5: of those things that you had to just decide for yourself, right.
- 30:08Speaker 5: I think it was one of those things because again,
- 30:09Speaker 5: everybody was going to do it. We've seen Kyrie Irvin, right,
- 30:11Speaker 5: We've seen different people just take a stand and be
- 30:13Speaker 5: like no. And me personally, I didn't take it because
- 30:16Speaker 5: I just didn't. I just didn't believe in just the
- 30:19Speaker 5: system because to me, what it showed me was we
- 30:23Speaker 5: this shit just came out and you have a cure
- 30:25Speaker 5: for it in nine months. But we've had certain things
- 30:28Speaker 5: for years and years and you've never gotten a cure
- 30:30Speaker 5: for it. So is this a money thing?
- 30:33Speaker 1: Is it?
- 30:33Speaker 5: Like, I'm just looking at the whole shit just weird
- 30:36Speaker 5: now because you're telling me that you can do this,
- 30:38Speaker 5: you have the ability to do something, but you're choosing
- 30:40Speaker 5: not to.
- 30:42Speaker 3: So I'm just like, I'm.
- 30:43Speaker 5: Good, like, oh we know that though, Big Farmer, well, yeah,
- 30:46Speaker 5: we know figure out, we know it. But that I
- 30:49Speaker 5: think that was the first time that we got to
- 30:51Speaker 5: see it. We got to see it from inception of
- 30:53Speaker 5: virus to distribution of vaccine, right, and you got to say, hmmm,
- 30:59Speaker 5: I'd have been sending money to Saint Jews for thirty
- 31:02Speaker 5: years respectfully, Respectfully, I haven't seen you know what I'm saying.
- 31:09Speaker 5: So I'm just not understanding this. I'm just understanding what's
- 31:13Speaker 5: going on right now. So I'm going to opt out
- 31:15Speaker 5: of this. That was just my personal opinion.
- 31:18Speaker 3: Trump.
- 31:19Speaker 5: Yeah, have you been paying attention to the whole committee
- 31:23Speaker 5: that's going on with doctor Facci being deposed?
- 31:28Speaker 1: Right?
- 31:29Speaker 4: So I did watch some of it. I know he
- 31:31Speaker 4: played the fifth on everything, so I don't know what
- 31:34Speaker 4: that means. I didn't watch it in real time and
- 31:36Speaker 4: I didn't get all the recaps, so I don't I don't.
- 31:39Speaker 3: Know, im I seen it a little biteah, kick me,
- 31:42Speaker 3: bring me up to speak.
- 31:45Speaker 5: I'm not exactly sure why the COVID chronicles are happening
- 31:48Speaker 5: right now, right I don't know if it's just do
- 31:51Speaker 5: you know, Yeah, Basically it goes back to the Trump
- 31:53Speaker 5: basically really get really gating the twenty twenty thing basically,
- 31:55Speaker 5: so everything all of that, because you know, he felt
- 31:58Speaker 5: like COVID was part of the reason that he lost election.
- 32:01Speaker 5: So basically for him proving that COVID was uh, it
- 32:06Speaker 5: was uh what do you call it? A deep state operation?
- 32:09Speaker 5: Fauci and China and all of the all of the
- 32:12Speaker 5: people that he's been saying that been against him, they're
- 32:15Speaker 5: responsible for it. So it wasn't me, it was default
- 32:17Speaker 5: what happened, you know what I'm saying. So that's that's
- 32:19Speaker 5: why that's why it's a thing right now, because you're asking,
- 32:22Speaker 5: you sol, why am.
- 32:23Speaker 3: I saying foul it? Why am I seeing right now?
- 32:25Speaker 5: Because it's like, Yo, all of the people that had
- 32:27Speaker 5: something to do with that, we need, you know what
- 32:29Speaker 5: I'm saying, We need to make it look bad. We're
- 32:30Speaker 5: trying to drop throne in jail, whatever whatever we can
- 32:33Speaker 5: do to make it seem like, yo, y'all stolen election
- 32:35Speaker 5: and the COVID shit was your fault. It wasn't on me.
- 32:37Speaker 5: I didn't mean that's that's why you're saying this. That's
- 32:40Speaker 5: why you're seeing all of the people get attacked getting Do.
- 32:44Speaker 3: Y'all feel vindicated for not taking the job?
- 32:48Speaker 1: Do you?
- 32:48Speaker 4: I did take the job you did? Eventually I was.
- 32:52Speaker 4: I was against it, and I ended up getting the
- 32:56Speaker 4: the least invasive jab the Johnson Johnson went black, right.
- 33:02Speaker 3: So you know, out of ad so crazy Johnson and Johnson.
- 33:07Speaker 4: And I'll tell you why. For one, and I said
- 33:10Speaker 4: this on the podcast years ago, I took the Jazz
- 33:12Speaker 4: reluctantly because my oldest daughter wanted me to take it
- 33:18Speaker 4: and at the time I wasn't seeing her often and
- 33:22Speaker 4: that was one of her stipulations stipulations, So you know,
- 33:28Speaker 4: I did it for her, you know, right, the irony
- 33:34Speaker 4: the then As far as why I took the Johnson
- 33:39Speaker 4: and Johnson because I you know, at the time, my
- 33:41Speaker 4: doctor was like, he's a real natural healing doctor. He
- 33:47Speaker 4: actually had some healing tea that that helped ease the
- 33:52Speaker 4: symptoms of COVID. He did a lot of studying in
- 33:56Speaker 4: China dealing with natural herbs and medicines and stuff. Real
- 34:00Speaker 4: dope dude, real knowledgeable dude, and on some doctor Sebby
- 34:04Speaker 4: type shit. So I consulted with him about it. He
- 34:07Speaker 4: was anti VAXX. I spoke to him about my dilemma, like, listen,
- 34:11Speaker 4: I don't want to do it, but if I was
- 34:12Speaker 4: going to do it with your advice, and he was like, well,
- 34:15Speaker 4: the Johnson Johnson vax is more of the same type
- 34:21Speaker 4: of nature of the vaccines that we've been taking all
- 34:23Speaker 4: of our lives. It's the similar so it's not something
- 34:26Speaker 4: that just came about in nine months. It's a similar
- 34:30Speaker 4: type of where the other ship is like some new
- 34:37Speaker 4: studies that they're experimenting with DNA and genetic modification, like
- 34:42Speaker 4: you know what I mean. It was a whole different
- 34:45Speaker 4: type of things. So that's why I did the Johnson Johnson.
- 34:50Speaker 4: I didn't even know all of them was different.
- 34:52Speaker 2: I just thought different companies was making this formula that
- 34:55Speaker 2: they all agreed on.
- 34:56Speaker 1: It was all different ship.
- 34:57Speaker 5: They were there and a little bit of I know
- 35:01Speaker 5: that it was different when you started looking at like
- 35:03Speaker 5: the stocks of them and how their stocks move.
- 35:06Speaker 1: You could tell.
- 35:07Speaker 5: You can tell, like, Okay, what's what's going to be mainstream,
- 35:11Speaker 5: what's being left, what has the you know what I'm saying.
- 35:13Speaker 5: You can tell it when you're looking at it from
- 35:14Speaker 5: that perspective. So, I you know, I get it. Misinformation
- 35:19Speaker 5: is crazy. Go on Facebook. I'm on Facebook now, Well,
- 35:23Speaker 5: got me on Facebook. I can't do it. It's it's
- 35:28Speaker 5: difficult because that's a weird group of people over there.
- 35:33Speaker 5: You know, your FBA people is over there. Shout out
- 35:35Speaker 5: to the FBA idiots. Shout out to them. Stupid motherfucker
- 35:41Speaker 5: who were there? The Foundational Black Americans. They're a black maga.
- 35:46Speaker 2: I've never heard of them. Yeah, they want more. They
- 35:49Speaker 2: want they believe that they are not. They have more
- 35:53Speaker 2: rights to reparations than rights to reparations. But they also
- 35:57Speaker 2: are like kind of hateful towards the rest of the diaspora.
- 35:59Speaker 3: I don't care. I've got rights to reparations. I want
- 36:01Speaker 3: you to have it.
- 36:02Speaker 1: I don't.
- 36:03Speaker 2: I don't see reason why we beefing over there if
- 36:05Speaker 2: you're because I don't even see that coming, Like I
- 36:09Speaker 2: don't even see that talk happening. But if you're using
- 36:12Speaker 2: that to discriminate against other black people around you.
- 36:17Speaker 3: You turn into the shit that you're turning into. You hate,
- 36:19Speaker 3: You're hating on people.
- 36:21Speaker 2: You're literally talking about like where they're from, like calling
- 36:25Speaker 2: You're back to calling people monkeys and all this other shit.
- 36:28Speaker 2: Like literally, no, they bugging the SBA Foundation of Black Americans.
- 36:33Speaker 2: They literally that's crazy. So, and I'm generalizing because if
- 36:39Speaker 2: there's some good ones out there, I ain't seen y'all.
- 36:42Speaker 1: Y'all all idiots.
- 36:43Speaker 2: They Oh the whole bunch of y'all, that screaming FBA y'all,
- 36:45Speaker 2: a bunch of fucking idiots.
- 36:47Speaker 5: That's how I feel, Jesus Christ. So, and you could
- 36:52Speaker 5: just clip that. It could be fourteen seconds. I don't
- 36:53Speaker 5: give a fuck.
- 36:55Speaker 2: I really don't give a fuck fuck them, But I
- 36:57Speaker 2: just believe, like we black people, Black, Nigerian, Ghana, uh,
- 37:01Speaker 2: fucking Trinidad, fucking you know what I mean, shit, Dominican Dominicans,
- 37:06Speaker 2: like all of us black brown you know, we need
- 37:08Speaker 2: to stop this ship amongst each other. We got the
- 37:11Speaker 2: same ass real enemy to me. He don't believe, don't listen.
- 37:20Speaker 2: And we can disagree, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, we disagree
- 37:23Speaker 2: And you want to know why I'm not even fully
- 37:25Speaker 2: sold on my because in the rever, did you know
- 37:28Speaker 2: that there was such a thing as a White Black
- 37:30Speaker 2: Panther Party.
- 37:31Speaker 3: Nah, there's a white Panther Party. Did y'all know that?
- 37:35Speaker 5: Let me see, let me see like the Proud Boys
- 37:37Speaker 5: or No, they was on outside. Oh okay, that's nuts.
- 37:41Speaker 5: But I know there was there was a lot of
- 37:42Speaker 5: white people that was going outside. I know, I know
- 37:44Speaker 5: you don't like to hear that, but I no, no,
- 37:47Speaker 5: I mean every like, just speaking in general, like when
- 37:49Speaker 5: you were talking about the black struggle, when you say
- 37:51Speaker 5: that there were white people that were instrumental people, they
- 37:54Speaker 5: just get like weird.
- 37:55Speaker 3: It's like.
- 37:56Speaker 2: The White Panther Party was a radical, anti racist, and
- 37:59Speaker 2: anti capital political collective founded in November nineteen sixty eight
- 38:03Speaker 2: in ann Arbor, Michigan, by JOHNS.
- 38:05Speaker 3: Clear Linski.
- 38:06Speaker 2: Formed in response to Black Panther co found though hub P.
- 38:08Speaker 2: Newton's call for white activists to organize anti racist support groups,
- 38:13Speaker 2: the counter culture organization combined revolutionary politics with rock music,
- 38:17Speaker 2: psychedelic drug use, and cultural rebellion. They really had a
- 38:22Speaker 2: group of white people that was trying to infiltrate to
- 38:26Speaker 2: help us.
- 38:27Speaker 5: You know when you said about when you said about
- 38:29Speaker 5: the people having approved themselves Trump. Do you remember that
- 38:31Speaker 5: movie I think the name of it is Mississippi Burning
- 38:33Speaker 5: where the white people went down to Alabama to help
- 38:35Speaker 5: the black people. It was like, I think it was
- 38:38Speaker 5: like a voting thing that they were doing, but they
- 38:40Speaker 5: went down there to help them vote against it, and
- 38:42Speaker 5: you know, staying in protests with them and talk about
- 38:44Speaker 5: proving yourself. There's a famous story basically of three guys going.
- 38:49Speaker 5: It was I think two white guys and a black guy.
- 38:51Speaker 5: They were basically driving trying to get the black guy
- 38:53Speaker 5: of town that got caught by the klan and they
- 38:55Speaker 5: all got killed, the white people included, because you know,
- 38:59Speaker 5: they told them, they said, if y'all come down here
- 39:02Speaker 5: with them, y'are getting it too. And they said, Yo,
- 39:04Speaker 5: we know that, and we're coming anyway. And I think
- 39:07Speaker 5: that's the that's what you're talking about with that, that's
- 39:09Speaker 5: the ship that you're going to die with me.
- 39:11Speaker 3: Yeah, And they was on it. They was like yo.
- 39:13Speaker 3: They'd be like, Yo, we're coming, and droves, we're gonna
- 39:16Speaker 3: stand in front of you. They got to kill us
- 39:18Speaker 3: to get to you.
- 39:19Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, I love you you like.
- 39:22Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Come on, Richard, I'm with him,
- 39:27Speaker 1: I'm with Dick. Sorry. How does how does a white
- 39:30Speaker 1: person prove their love in that way today?
- 39:33Speaker 3: Yes, they got stressed out.
- 39:36Speaker 2: I'm not going back into there's a question.
- 39:41Speaker 1: Because I like, I love honestly, I do love your passion.
- 39:44Speaker 1: Just the other side of that, how how does a
- 39:46Speaker 1: white person prove their love today to be like oh.
- 39:49Speaker 5: This to black people? Yeah, that's I think. I think
- 39:53Speaker 5: you gotta. You have to. You have to stand up
- 39:54Speaker 5: and show up when you when you have something to risks,
- 39:57Speaker 5: Like when you're standing up when you don't have anything
- 39:59Speaker 5: to risks. It's like it's cool, you know, it's like
- 40:02Speaker 5: all right, salute. But like the Town's point, it only
- 40:05Speaker 5: really matters if we if we can feel like yo,
- 40:07Speaker 5: you rich something.
- 40:08Speaker 1: To be here, mm hmmm, something to risk like that
- 40:13Speaker 1: what you got?
- 40:14Speaker 4: Noah, I agree with that, Like when it's inconvenient for you,
- 40:18Speaker 4: what what stance are you gonna take?
- 40:20Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
- 40:22Speaker 4: And nor I understand your perspective about loving all humans.
- 40:26Speaker 4: I do love all humans, but there's levels to the
- 40:28Speaker 4: ship man, you know what I mean. I hate most
- 40:30Speaker 4: I love us a little bit more.
- 40:33Speaker 2: I hate most humans because the earth is mad beautiful
- 40:36Speaker 2: without us.
- 40:38Speaker 1: That's not true.
- 40:39Speaker 3: We fucked this ship up, bro, Yo.
- 40:41Speaker 5: You know we messed the earth up in the last
- 40:43Speaker 5: sixty years more than we did in the millions that
- 40:45Speaker 5: it's been here.
- 40:47Speaker 1: I would agree.
- 40:48Speaker 2: Look at you up in the morning and listen to
- 40:50Speaker 2: the birds and they just flying around you. You you
- 40:56Speaker 2: look in the ocean and they just jumping.
- 41:00Speaker 1: Is dumping oil. Yo.
- 41:03Speaker 5: You know how bad we have to be as a species.
- 41:05Speaker 5: Like I said, you're what I said, the last sixty
- 41:08Speaker 5: seventeen years, we've done more damage to the Earth than
- 41:11Speaker 5: the whole time has been in existence.
- 41:13Speaker 1: Crazy.
- 41:13Speaker 5: That says more about us as humans than it say
- 41:15Speaker 5: about any other thing that was here before us.
- 41:18Speaker 3: After you know what I'm saying, we.
- 41:20Speaker 1: Got more toys to mess with it.
- 41:22Speaker 5: That's the titles point. It's like, like he said, this
- 41:26Speaker 5: ship was so beautiful. But like I said, when you
- 41:27Speaker 5: talk about all the pollution and dumping, the fires, all
- 41:30Speaker 5: the stuff that we do to contribute as humans to
- 41:32Speaker 5: the destruction of this.
- 41:34Speaker 2: Bro, other animals yo, most well, I don't know there
- 41:37Speaker 2: are animals out there that just killed to kill though Derek,
- 41:41Speaker 2: there are animals out there that just be like, nah,
- 41:43Speaker 2: fuck that nigga killing nigga and just keep it pushing.
- 41:46Speaker 2: Most animals killed for food, but you got your random
- 41:49Speaker 2: animals that be like but.
- 41:50Speaker 3: I don't think we have any animal that actually kills
- 41:52Speaker 3: the earth.
- 41:54Speaker 1: But I think where the why is? Hey, we want
- 41:59Speaker 1: that money, so we're willing to do whatever it takes
- 42:01Speaker 1: to get the money. But it has to do with
- 42:03Speaker 1: the human condition. Again, I know we don't like to
- 42:06Speaker 1: talk about this.
- 42:06Speaker 2: It's also men. It's also men. Women ain't just out
- 42:11Speaker 2: here just killing for fun. Broy doing in different ways
- 42:16Speaker 2: in what ways?
- 42:17Speaker 1: M oh what? Oh? What is this?
- 42:22Speaker 3: Say honey on your tongue, That's what happened.
- 42:28Speaker 1: They kill you through some push. And I'm curious to
- 42:30Speaker 1: know what you guys think because this is a conversation
- 42:31Speaker 1: I have with some of my friends. The power dynamics
- 42:36Speaker 1: in the world. I think it's women, bro, it's women.
- 42:41Speaker 1: What power? Like Okay, let's say I used to coin
- 42:45Speaker 1: it like this. Men have positional power. Women have influence,
- 42:49Speaker 1: influential power. So that's the power that rules everything. Influence.
- 42:54Speaker 1: And so when you have a conversation about like why
- 42:58Speaker 1: we do the things that we do. I'm curious to
- 43:01Speaker 1: know what you guys think.
- 43:02Speaker 2: But no speak on it, say it, no, no, no, don't
- 43:05Speaker 2: be this is so shameless. You come over here to
- 43:07Speaker 2: make crazy as things. No, I'm saying and again that
- 43:10Speaker 2: women influence men to do evil. Shit, that's what you're saying.
- 43:14Speaker 1: Not to do evil. But I think a lot of
- 43:16Speaker 1: our motivation it tends to be from sex, tends to
- 43:20Speaker 1: be from women. Fact. But then like you said, it
- 43:23Speaker 1: comes like, oh, I do some of this stuff to
- 43:25Speaker 1: be so my boys can see, which is weird. It's
- 43:28Speaker 1: just just a there's a combination of factors that it's
- 43:32Speaker 1: it comes from a heart posture of I want greed,
- 43:35Speaker 1: I want to take, I want, I want, and so
- 43:38Speaker 1: whatever that is, whether it's sex, whether it's in what
- 43:40Speaker 1: we see again, I take it to the Bible. The
- 43:42Speaker 1: lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and
- 43:44Speaker 1: the pride of life, it kills every man. What I
- 43:48Speaker 1: need with my eyes. Oh I want money, I want
- 43:50Speaker 1: the flesh, man, I gotta get with that. Or the
- 43:53Speaker 1: pride of having a name and notoriety. That's these are
- 43:56Speaker 1: the that's what falls, that's what men fall to. And
- 44:00Speaker 1: so there's a lot of factors in there, even as
- 44:02Speaker 1: I talk about women. Again, that's one of the easier
- 44:07Speaker 1: things that we can point to, but it goes to
- 44:09Speaker 1: what's in our nature.
- 44:13Speaker 2: Because you just not realize that you you started with women,
- 44:17Speaker 2: I thought, and the women's if you said's so sameless.
- 44:19Speaker 2: You touch it through, but you ended in our own inadequacy,
- 44:23Speaker 2: is our own ego and pride and the things that
- 44:25Speaker 2: we do for power and dominance. So you know, you
- 44:28Speaker 2: just knocked the women's influence off the board because it
- 44:30Speaker 2: became about us, our domination over women and our need
- 44:35Speaker 2: to please women or to please our homeboys, or to
- 44:38Speaker 2: gain power.
- 44:40Speaker 1: That's men talking it through. It's one of Again, women
- 44:43Speaker 1: are a factor, but like you said, it is other
- 44:46Speaker 1: facts men.
- 44:48Speaker 2: It's power, it's greed, it's all of those things. It's ego,
- 44:53Speaker 2: it's all those things. Women have those things too, It's
- 44:55Speaker 2: what I'm saying I do. But do they fucking destroy
- 44:58Speaker 2: whole continents over it?
- 45:01Speaker 1: In a different way from the influence I to hear it.
- 45:03Speaker 1: How influence, bro? Why do people I just turn h
- 45:09Speaker 1: I don't want to go into that. But one of
- 45:11Speaker 1: my best friends died. Why does that happen, not saying
- 45:15Speaker 1: it to women, but like a woman was behind that.
- 45:18Speaker 1: That's just one of my anecdotal experiences. But there's a
- 45:21Speaker 1: plenty more to where man like, everything's going well, y'all boys,
- 45:25Speaker 1: and then you get with this girl who got with
- 45:27Speaker 1: him and twisted. Now one of them is dead. That
- 45:30Speaker 1: don't make sense. And so it's like, I don't even
- 45:34Speaker 1: want to say the men and the woman thing again.
- 45:36Speaker 1: I go to falling flesh. And so when falling flesh says, okay,
- 45:40Speaker 1: I want that. I want control in some type of way.
- 45:43Speaker 1: If women, by way of their own experience, they say
- 45:46Speaker 1: I can have control based on what I put out,
- 45:49Speaker 1: that's how they're going to do it. If a man
- 45:51Speaker 1: say I can have control by my hand, my brute
- 45:53Speaker 1: fish and what I make, and I'm going to do it,
- 45:55Speaker 1: and so there's different avenues to where they manifest themselves.
- 45:59Speaker 1: But it comes back to fall in flesh. I understand, y'all,
- 46:03Speaker 1: anybody got.
- 46:04Speaker 4: Anything, Well, just to expand on that, like I understand
- 46:07Speaker 4: what you're saying kind of like indirectly the woman is
- 46:12Speaker 4: responsible there, but I just feel like inherently women aren't
- 46:16Speaker 4: as violent, They're not going to be the ones pulling
- 46:19Speaker 4: the trigger.
- 46:20Speaker 1: And I don't think women are responsible, is what I'm saying.
- 46:24Speaker 1: But they're whisperers, is what he's saying. They influence men
- 46:29Speaker 1: in certain ways. And I do believe power is a thing,
- 46:35Speaker 1: but women have to figure out how to get it,
- 46:38Speaker 1: because again, you can't make peace with somebody that wants
- 46:41Speaker 1: war with you.
- 46:42Speaker 3: Men have been.
- 46:45Speaker 2: At war with women for years, keeping them under heel,
- 46:48Speaker 2: keeping them without power. And so if they have now
- 46:52Speaker 2: learned through whatever experience, is through the genetics that come
- 46:56Speaker 2: from their mothers, their grandmothers, whatever, that you are not
- 47:00Speaker 2: with them and use your pussy the right way, or
- 47:03Speaker 2: don't allow yourself to be used a certain way, and
- 47:05Speaker 2: they find ways to now manipulate to get to where
- 47:08Speaker 2: they got to get so that they don't need you
- 47:10Speaker 2: or so they cannot.
- 47:11Speaker 1: Be harmed by you.
- 47:12Speaker 3: Is that an evil thing?
- 47:13Speaker 1: Yeah?
- 47:14Speaker 3: And is that not self preservation?
- 47:17Speaker 1: It's an evil thing. And I'll say that from my experience, bro.
- 47:21Speaker 1: When I was six to eight, I was sexually assaulted
- 47:24Speaker 1: over and over and over and over again, to women,
- 47:28Speaker 1: to women that I knew, women in my family. And
- 47:32Speaker 1: one can look at that and be like, Okay, they
- 47:34Speaker 1: were young, they didn't know it happened to them, probably
- 47:36Speaker 1: at the hands of man. And we can blame the man,
- 47:38Speaker 1: and we can blame the women, and I can blame
- 47:40Speaker 1: both of them, or one can look at fallen flesh
- 47:43Speaker 1: and be like, Bro, it's unfortunate that that happened to me.
- 47:47Speaker 1: But I'm not going to allow either way, because we
- 47:49Speaker 1: can go like I personally, there was a point in
- 47:51Speaker 1: my life where I got so mad every time sexually
- 47:54Speaker 1: assault like was talked only from one lens of a
- 47:57Speaker 1: man doing this to a woman like Bro. It happened
- 47:59Speaker 1: to me the hands of women like before I could
- 48:01Speaker 1: even know what that was, and it changed the way
- 48:03Speaker 1: I looked at things, and it changed the way I
- 48:05Speaker 1: acted like And so I'm saying all this to say,
- 48:09Speaker 1: we all have our own unique things that make us
- 48:12Speaker 1: see the way that we see. But if we're allowed
- 48:14Speaker 1: to see past our casing, there is a real problem
- 48:18Speaker 1: that makes us do these things. And so it's not
- 48:22Speaker 1: in a man or a woman. I believe it's on
- 48:24Speaker 1: the falling nature of flesh, and then the influences outside ourselves,
- 48:28Speaker 1: which is again spiritual.
- 48:30Speaker 3: You keep saying falling flesh. Yeah, I want to understand
- 48:32Speaker 3: this more, what is it? Why do you keep saying that, I.
- 48:36Speaker 1: Keep saying falling flesh, Because by way of what I
- 48:40Speaker 1: kind of said earlier, is when Adam chose to declare
- 48:45Speaker 1: independence from God, he was supposed to rule in perfect
- 48:49Speaker 1: unity with every all creation. And so what he did
- 48:53Speaker 1: was he literally gave Satan the authority over the earth.
- 48:56Speaker 1: And so the serpent, the Bible says, to whomsoever you obey,
- 49:00Speaker 1: you are servant to what you obey. And so Adam says, hey,
- 49:03Speaker 1: by way of again, Eve said hey, we can eat
- 49:05Speaker 1: from this, and Adam knew, like bro I was told
- 49:08Speaker 1: by God himself not to do this by way of saying, okay,
- 49:11Speaker 1: I declare independence from you God, I'm going to listen
- 49:14Speaker 1: to this woman by way of the serpent. That's why
- 49:16Speaker 1: the head the serpent's authority reigns and still rains on
- 49:20Speaker 1: this earth's system. And God so is a perfect gentleman.
- 49:23Speaker 1: He's not going to say, Okay, I'm gonna change everything else. No,
- 49:26Speaker 1: he's going to abide by the rules that he even said.
- 49:28Speaker 1: So he has to come in a seed. He has
- 49:30Speaker 1: to be flesh to be able to live a perfect life,
- 49:34Speaker 1: surrender to die, to rise. Why the Bible says the
- 49:37Speaker 1: life of the flesh is in the blood, So all
- 49:40Speaker 1: flesh is all the life of the flesh is in
- 49:44Speaker 1: the blood. So okay, where is life located blood? So
- 49:46Speaker 1: what happens when you have flesh, Well, you have blood
- 49:49Speaker 1: that is contaminated. What happens when you have blood that
- 49:52Speaker 1: is in the loins of Adam and Eve, which is
- 49:56Speaker 1: dead flesh? To God? Again, death is separation from God?
- 50:00Speaker 1: What happens when you come through that line? I got
- 50:02Speaker 1: to have blood with no contamination. The Bible says the
- 50:05Speaker 1: wages of sin is death. And so why did God,
- 50:08Speaker 1: the god Man himself come through a virgin? Why is
- 50:11Speaker 1: that a miraculous thing because there's no blood contamination. He
- 50:14Speaker 1: came through a virgin and lived and died and rose
- 50:18Speaker 1: so that we can have the opportunity to live free again.
- 50:21Speaker 1: And so I always say that because bro, like right now,
- 50:25Speaker 1: the influences in the world, Like we're talking about depravity
- 50:28Speaker 1: from a different lens. It's true. Everything we're saying is
- 50:31Speaker 1: very true. And my thing is we're highlighting different parts
- 50:35Speaker 1: of humanity. Why don't we look at like behind that, bro,
- 50:39Speaker 1: And I'll say this in Nigeria and the Western world.
- 50:43Speaker 1: That's different, Like the spirit in Nigeria. You'll see like
- 50:46Speaker 1: spiritual things that don't make sense here, and people look, oh,
- 50:49Speaker 1: that's kind of crazy. No, you will see it with
- 50:51Speaker 1: your own eyes. And so there's a different level of
- 50:55Speaker 1: there's a different way that the spiritual world dominates in
- 50:59Speaker 1: this Western society. And so I like seeing life for
- 51:03Speaker 1: what it is. Oh, we are in a spiritual warfare, bro.
- 51:06Speaker 1: And if we don't have the right tools, if we're
- 51:07Speaker 1: not having the right conversation, we already lost. And we think,
- 51:10Speaker 1: oh the money, the power. That we look at our
- 51:13Speaker 1: own experiences, how come I want more when I have everything?
- 51:16Speaker 1: If I look back, this is everything I ever wanted,
- 51:18Speaker 1: But I want more. I want more, I want more,
- 51:20Speaker 1: I want more, there's no peace. There's always stress. That's
- 51:23Speaker 1: not fulfillment, that freedom that piece like for me, I'm
- 51:26Speaker 1: talking about my own experience, everything I ever wanted, money,
- 51:30Speaker 1: that I talked about, three story house, the girl, I
- 51:32Speaker 1: just I felt nothing. Come how come we we look
- 51:36Speaker 1: at billionaires, they have all the money and they take
- 51:38Speaker 1: their lives. Come, how come there's a spirit behind influencing
- 51:42Speaker 1: those actions. And so when we have these conversations. The
- 51:46Speaker 1: antidote I believe to the world's problems is Christ. You
- 51:49Speaker 1: need that breath of life that man was literally designed
- 51:53Speaker 1: to have to be able to have dominion. The Bible
- 51:56Speaker 1: says we were made for dominion. But you can't have
- 51:58Speaker 1: dominion without His life in you. And so that's the
- 52:01Speaker 1: that's the charge I have. Again, I tackle taboo topics
- 52:05Speaker 1: because oh oh, we will talk religion. Why not we
- 52:08Speaker 1: don't talk Christ? Why not? We can talk about everything
- 52:11Speaker 1: else in society, but that's off limits. I respect your belief.
- 52:14Speaker 1: Respecting my belief is actually understanding where I come from
- 52:17Speaker 1: and actually engaging in that conversation, engaging in the hard
- 52:21Speaker 1: things because everybody doesn't want to talk about it. That's real.
- 52:24Speaker 1: That's being a man, that's being a leader. What actually
- 52:26Speaker 1: matters in life? What has you have you seen in life?
- 52:29Speaker 1: And like, how do we attack this together? No matter
- 52:31Speaker 1: what you look like.
- 52:33Speaker 3: Damn nigga, you just stopped.
- 52:37Speaker 1: I knew you was going to stop there.
- 52:38Speaker 5: No, I have one question, and this is not exactly
- 52:43Speaker 5: related to what you said, but you said earlier. Yes,
- 52:45Speaker 5: you've been abstinent for four years. How has that helped
- 52:49Speaker 5: you on your journey? Over these last four years.
- 52:51Speaker 1: Bro It's it's there's a depth of spiritual growth that
- 52:58Speaker 1: I have with Christ I've never had before. Very clear
- 53:03Speaker 1: on how I'm moving, not saying I have everything figured out,
- 53:07Speaker 1: but I'm very clear on who I'm living life with
- 53:10Speaker 1: and to bro I've been able to touch a lot of
- 53:13Speaker 1: lives and help a lot of people, and I do
- 53:15Speaker 1: believe is because of the focus and the surrender God
- 53:18Speaker 1: uses yielded vessels. He is no respector of persons. He
- 53:21Speaker 1: didn't make one man better than the next man. If
- 53:23Speaker 1: you see a gift somebody else have, you have that
- 53:26Speaker 1: as well in a different way. And so for me,
- 53:28Speaker 1: what I've been able to do is be clear and
- 53:31Speaker 1: love what he loves and hate what he hates, and
- 53:34Speaker 1: be able to wrestle with the things that he wants
- 53:36Speaker 1: me to clear up. I always say, make I'm vulnerable
- 53:39Speaker 1: and humble before you Lord, purify my desires. And as
- 53:42Speaker 1: I've done that, Bro's, it's a clarity and it's a
- 53:45Speaker 1: peace about Okay, what I want my future future spouse
- 53:48Speaker 1: to look like, but what legacy I want to leave Again,
- 53:51Speaker 1: I'm not here for myself. I've been through a lot
- 53:53Speaker 1: of stuff it'd be useless to be allowed to go
- 53:57Speaker 1: through all of this, Like having a family member come
- 53:59Speaker 1: from from New York City about to play for a
- 54:02Speaker 1: Big twelve championship twenty nineteen and tell him, hey, bro,
- 54:05Speaker 1: I'm about to pick up your cousin from the airport
- 54:07Speaker 1: and have a cousin that goes to Texas Tech. I
- 54:10Speaker 1: take them out to a bar. I leave because I
- 54:11Speaker 1: have a workout in the morning, and they lose their life.
- 54:14Speaker 1: And I'm sitting there like, Bro, why am I here?
- 54:16Speaker 1: Why am I alive? It should have been three for
- 54:18Speaker 1: three or none of us leave. I felt guilty. I
- 54:20Speaker 1: felt those things I've gone through all this. Why am
- 54:22Speaker 1: I allowed to go through all this? If I can't
- 54:24Speaker 1: share it, if I can't share who got me through?
- 54:26Speaker 1: If I can't share that. Oh, we can laugh and
- 54:28Speaker 1: talk about everything else that men talk about. But when
- 54:31Speaker 1: you're behind closed doors in your room on the way home,
- 54:34Speaker 1: you're thinking about everything you have to do for your family,
- 54:36Speaker 1: everything your mom, call your friends. That it's a lot
- 54:38Speaker 1: of pressure, bro, And I'm telling you that there's freedom
- 54:42Speaker 1: and being able to let go and breathe, and that
- 54:44Speaker 1: breath is in Christ. And so when we have these conversations.
- 54:47Speaker 1: I have friends that are Muslim. I have different friends
- 54:49Speaker 1: from different perspectives, but I always challenge them. Okay, that
- 54:52Speaker 1: Jesus in your book, how come it done line with
- 54:54Speaker 1: this book? How come in your book it says, hey,
- 54:57Speaker 1: go back to those in the scripture if you have
- 54:58Speaker 1: any questions, how come we don't have these conversations? If
- 55:01Speaker 1: you find yourself getting frustrated or there's a vitriol after
- 55:06Speaker 1: I say Jesus, why is that? We can talk about
- 55:09Speaker 1: everything else? But when I say Jesus, guy, why do
- 55:11Speaker 1: you have such a It's a.
- 55:12Speaker 3: Question and my last thing, my fault.
- 55:15Speaker 5: I know you do think lastly so and you feel
- 55:19Speaker 5: like you any future partner, you would want somebody to
- 55:22Speaker 5: have the same reverence for the spirituality as you.
- 55:26Speaker 1: I want them to love Jesus Christ. I think there's
- 55:28Speaker 1: a there's a temptation to be like, oh, I want
- 55:30Speaker 1: you to be on my wait, bro, Like you come
- 55:33Speaker 1: to God dirty and he makes you clean. I don't
- 55:37Speaker 1: matter what past you had, if you love the Lord
- 55:39Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, what's happening? And that was a struggle for me.
- 55:42Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, I want I don't want her to
- 55:44Speaker 1: be you have the questions of, oh how many Mary.
- 55:46Speaker 1: That's as childish and as immature as what it is,
- 55:49Speaker 1: so I have to grow up. It's like, oh, so
- 55:51Speaker 1: you think the people that you've been with that makes
- 55:53Speaker 1: you better than next? No. And so it's like for me,
- 55:56Speaker 1: if she loved the Lord Jesus Christ, what was happening? King?
- 55:59Speaker 1: No underscore what's adding six? Non beautiful man that loved
- 56:02Speaker 1: the Lord Jesus Christ was haden. But on an honest perspective,
- 56:06Speaker 1: I think the residue of having sex before marriage. I
- 56:09Speaker 1: really do believe this personally. It protects my protects my memories.
- 56:13Speaker 1: Now I'm so almost picky in this Oh she gotta
- 56:15Speaker 1: have this yat But it's like bro, like I wouldn't
- 56:18Speaker 1: have even been aware to that realm if I didn't
- 56:21Speaker 1: do bro everything else.
- 56:23Speaker 3: So get it, Guessine, you gotta go. I actually, yeah,
- 56:29Speaker 3: I do. I had so much more.
- 56:37Speaker 1: Do you like women? Yeah? I love?
- 56:40Speaker 3: And actually if you loved him? I actually If you
- 56:43Speaker 3: like women, yes.
- 56:47Speaker 4: I know that's a loaded question because they irritate me,
- 56:51Speaker 4: but yes I do like them.
- 56:55Speaker 2: You're not I'm not evenna ask you more than men. No,
- 56:57Speaker 2: I'm not gonna ask you, because I don't even know.
- 56:59Speaker 2: If you can't, you're not a real person. When when
- 57:02Speaker 2: women come up, you just you will say, you will
- 57:08Speaker 2: say what sounds good. That's not true. But so you
- 57:11Speaker 2: like women? Yes, I like women more than men.
- 57:16Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean duh, I would think so, oh, okay,
- 57:21Speaker 3: I see what you're saying.
- 57:22Speaker 5: Right, right, right, I'm not a human talking about like
- 57:27Speaker 5: rather like I'd rather hang out with the women than
- 57:29Speaker 5: a guy with women.
- 57:31Speaker 2: Yes, with women, but that's a personal relationship. I'm talking
- 57:34Speaker 2: about like socially, we just talking about what we hear,
- 57:36Speaker 2: what they stand for.
- 57:36Speaker 1: Whatever.
- 57:37Speaker 3: You like women more than you like men?
- 57:39Speaker 1: Yeah, No, I like women, love women.
- 57:44Speaker 3: I think you like white people more you like women.
- 57:48Speaker 1: I love bringing the contrarian because I don't hear that
- 57:53Speaker 1: talked about, because again I have a lot of.
- 57:55Speaker 5: I have yet to hear you say one bad thing
- 57:57Speaker 5: about white people and their experience with white people, but
- 58:01Speaker 5: you have have.
- 58:01Speaker 2: I said, women, I can tell that there's a thing.
- 58:07Speaker 2: And like I said, our values come from trauma. You
- 58:10Speaker 2: you already said you were traumatized by women. You've had
- 58:16Speaker 2: negative experiences with women. I can imagine having a sister,
- 58:21Speaker 2: two sisters, I believe right, as a man that's a jock,
- 58:26Speaker 2: you're hanging out with white women.
- 58:28Speaker 3: You got two black women that are asking you what
- 58:30Speaker 3: the fuck is up with you?
- 58:31Speaker 2: I can imagine that because I don't have sisters, so
- 58:33Speaker 2: I only have friends, right, So I haven't had that
- 58:37Speaker 2: in the house relationship. Because when you know you can't
- 58:41Speaker 2: go nowhere, they can talk to you however they want.
- 58:45Speaker 2: They could be on your ass. You go nowhere, you
- 58:49Speaker 2: might fight your sisters. You might really have a physical fight.
- 58:53Speaker 1: You have physical fights with your sisters that can influence
- 58:57Speaker 1: how your experience with like you know, mommy wounds, right,
- 59:01Speaker 1: were talking about mommy woms Men will grow up not
- 59:05Speaker 1: liking women because of their experience with their mother. So
- 59:09Speaker 1: if this man, who I'm hearing things in this conversation,
- 59:13Speaker 1: whether it's the trauma from young having those sisters who
- 59:17Speaker 1: said they didn't like we got to think about what
- 59:18Speaker 1: he was saying this whole episode.
- 59:20Speaker 3: Yo, you're dealing with white women when you're dealing well,
- 59:22Speaker 3: you got another white woman.
- 59:23Speaker 2: Black women who I said are more connected to the
- 59:26Speaker 2: culture than black men. I could see him probably having
- 59:30Speaker 2: an issue like why.
- 59:32Speaker 1: Y'all so, And again I think I mentioned the women thing,
- 59:36Speaker 1: but I also mentioned the guys like it being able
- 59:39Speaker 1: to see it from both perspectives, like, Okay, it happened
- 59:42Speaker 1: to the hand at the hands of women, but it
- 59:44Speaker 1: happened to them at the hands of men, and so
- 59:46Speaker 1: it's like using both as an example of it's not either,
- 59:51Speaker 1: it's it's there's a nature behind it, and so I
- 59:55Speaker 1: look at it like that again. So I of course
- 59:58Speaker 1: I love black people. I love white people like I
- 1:00:01Speaker 1: love all people. Bro love not do you like I like? Yeah, okay,
- 1:00:08Speaker 1: I love women. I don't necessarily like women. Why And
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: you know.
- 1:00:12Speaker 2: I think that it's it's I think that when when
- 1:00:18Speaker 2: when when women come up with these statements, we immediately
- 1:00:22Speaker 2: say no, no, no, right, like, homo what do you
- 1:00:27Speaker 2: call it? Socio erotic? What's it called? Homo erotic relationships
- 1:00:31Speaker 2: with your friends? Okay, women said about that. When women
- 1:00:34Speaker 2: say that about men, that you have a homo erotic
- 1:00:37Speaker 2: relationship with your friends.
- 1:00:39Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know what that means.
- 1:00:42Speaker 2: I like my friends, I love my friends, I love
- 1:00:45Speaker 2: my male friends.
- 1:00:47Speaker 5: But they're using it in a negative sense. They're generously
- 1:00:49Speaker 5: saying that you you love and care more for your
- 1:00:52Speaker 5: male friends and will do more for your male friends
- 1:00:53Speaker 5: than you will do for them. That's that's why women
- 1:00:55Speaker 5: are saying it.
- 1:00:56Speaker 1: It's safer. It's safer.
- 1:01:00Speaker 5: That sounds funny, but I think when women hear that,
- 1:01:02Speaker 5: they feel like, like, y'all niggas is gay or something
- 1:01:06Speaker 5: like that. Save for we have more real bonds with
- 1:01:09Speaker 5: our male friends than what we can do for them.
- 1:01:12Speaker 5: Part were just there with our male friends existing that
- 1:01:16Speaker 5: hole in the bottom of my shoe.
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: He don't give a fuck, he laughed.
- 1:01:19Speaker 6: He give me one of his shoes beautifully. Yes, it's
- 1:01:22Speaker 6: safer for me to exist with them. I don't feel
- 1:01:25Speaker 6: as judged. I don't feel like I have to perform.
- 1:01:27Speaker 6: I could just be.
- 1:01:28Speaker 5: And also to the safe port, the safe portion of it.
- 1:01:31Speaker 5: When you're dealing with somebody, women have the options to
- 1:01:33Speaker 5: just walk away from me your friends, like your homeboys.
- 1:01:37Speaker 5: You could be on your the worst thing that you've
- 1:01:39Speaker 5: ever did, and you could think of going.
- 1:01:40Speaker 3: To be shot at some shit, and I'm supposed to go.
- 1:01:42Speaker 3: I gotta go, yes, And I did not even mean to.
- 1:01:46Speaker 1: It's so truly. I did not mean to.
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: Bring this up just because of what we were talking
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: about God and white people and women. I noticed that
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: there was a thing. I thought there was a thing
- 1:01:55Speaker 2: unless you say this is not But the women thing
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: came up right and I screened out of this. From
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: a woman that posted this on the internet the other day,
- 1:02:02Speaker 2: she said, after living with a man, I realized I
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: was not built for a real committed relationship right now.
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: Niggas like to be catered to to and to be honest.
- 1:02:10Speaker 2: At my age, I rather do make up and take
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: pictures from my IG.
- 1:02:12Speaker 1: Bye.
- 1:02:14Speaker 5: That's real. That's a real that's a real conclusion. But
- 1:02:19Speaker 5: they we can't.
- 1:02:20Speaker 2: We can't know. So that's what I don't like. I
- 1:02:23Speaker 2: don't like that we are so demonized for being us. Like,
- 1:02:27Speaker 2: it's just a lot of energy women are putting out there,
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: you think women for us to learn them. Men love
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: more honestly than women. I saw an article that said that,
- 1:02:36Speaker 2: and I kind of got up in there.
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: I think it's in there.
- 1:02:38Speaker 1: Obviously it's subjected, but I kind of agree because quickly
- 1:02:42Speaker 1: in my situation, I dated this girl. Long story short,
- 1:02:45Speaker 1: I find this, Okay, you're tall, you're attractive, you love God,
- 1:02:48Speaker 1: I love the idea of you. There's no girl I've
- 1:02:50Speaker 1: ever been with. It didn't say I love me, But
- 1:02:52Speaker 1: like for me, did I think that she loved me?
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: Did she see me? No, she didn't see me. She
- 1:02:56Speaker 1: loved the idea of me. And I believe like love
- 1:02:59Speaker 1: and society, women and you chase the idea of love, love, love,
- 1:03:01Speaker 1: love love, So it's almost baked in. And so I
- 1:03:05Speaker 1: agree from the premise of like bro love when a
- 1:03:07Speaker 1: guy said he loves you, he loves you, he really
- 1:03:11Speaker 1: loves you, and so that's something that's interesting I agree with.
- 1:03:13Speaker 3: So this is just yeah, I got a dip. Man.
- 1:03:16Speaker 1: This is where I kind of I'm glad that we started,
- 1:03:18Speaker 1: but damn I wish we could have finished these these
- 1:03:20Speaker 1: thoughts that I'm having troum.
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: What do you think about what I said?
- 1:03:22Speaker 1: Real quick?
- 1:03:23Speaker 4: You know, back to my answer to that when I
- 1:03:26Speaker 4: said that women irritate me, I think the better word
- 1:03:29Speaker 4: is frustrate. And I think that we frustrate each other
- 1:03:33Speaker 4: because men and women are just so different and some
- 1:03:36Speaker 4: things are just hard to explain, and it's like, yo,
- 1:03:40Speaker 4: we just are different. And to your point, how we
- 1:03:42Speaker 4: just feel safer amongst men, we get it. We get
- 1:03:45Speaker 4: each other with simpler creatures, we don't over complicate things,
- 1:03:49Speaker 4: and with women, it could be frustrating, and I'm sure
- 1:03:52Speaker 4: they feel the same with us, But I also feel
- 1:03:55Speaker 4: like that's the beauty of it, Like that's the contrast,
- 1:03:59Speaker 4: Like we're tractor to the opposite, but that opposite is
- 1:04:02Speaker 4: still the opposite. So we don't think the same, we
- 1:04:06Speaker 4: don't process information the same, so we're gonna have frustrating moments.
- 1:04:10Speaker 4: So at the end of the day, I do like women,
- 1:04:13Speaker 4: but they you know, it can be a frustrating balance
- 1:04:17Speaker 4: and relationship.
- 1:04:18Speaker 2: I don't like women, And this ain't about not loving women. Yeah,
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: I love my lady, I love most of my female
- 1:04:24Speaker 2: Most of my friends are ladies or women. Right, most
- 1:04:27Speaker 2: of my long last relationships are women. But the what
- 1:04:32Speaker 2: was I What was I going to say? There was
- 1:04:34Speaker 2: a clip that I wound up posting again on Facebook, right,
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: and it was about my fiance.
- 1:04:41Speaker 3: Crashing her car, and.
- 1:04:46Speaker 2: I gave her a mechanic that I knew would take
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: care of her, that I knew wouldn't boost up the prices,
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: that I knew wouldn't be like, oh, well, you got
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: to do this too or whatever. I have a real
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: relationship with him. Yeah, And she went and listened to
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: the insurance company and some other shit and wind up
- 1:05:05Speaker 2: getting hit for like fifteen thousand dollars of which we
- 1:05:10Speaker 2: were responsible for five The insurance company suggested this other place,
- 1:05:16Speaker 2: and still when they overcharged, the insurance company complained to us,
- 1:05:21Speaker 2: and I begged her why are.
- 1:05:22Speaker 3: You going there? Why are you going there?
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: Right?
- 1:05:26Speaker 2: And she wanted up getting mad at me, by the way,
- 1:05:29Speaker 2: at this whole situation because I didn't press the dudes.
- 1:05:33Speaker 5: I'm like, yo, we got a family. What I'm supposed
- 1:05:35Speaker 5: to do? You went to the people I told you,
- 1:05:38Speaker 5: go to this other place. It's a legal thing. Now
- 1:05:41Speaker 5: we can shoot them or whatever, but I don't know.
- 1:05:44Speaker 5: So we had to come out of our pockets. We
- 1:05:45Speaker 5: lost five bits off of that, right.
- 1:05:49Speaker 2: And the women in the room were like, well, you
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: want to lead how you want to lead, not how
- 1:05:54Speaker 2: we need you to lead.
- 1:06:01Speaker 3: I can't have about to his face.
- 1:06:07Speaker 1: I was stupified. And in the comments the women like, oh,
- 1:06:11Speaker 1: they ate you up, and.
- 1:06:12Speaker 5: I'm like, salute, I got a dip.
