- 1:44Speaker 1: four nine, nineteen sixty three, fiscally sponsored by uniseef JAS
- 1:48Speaker 1: been doing me a favorite tellus with strengthening.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Well, we were talking about tays your fortune. That's the
- 1:52Speaker 3: young woman twenty nine years old that was found hanging
- 1:55Speaker 3: from a tree in Jackson, Mississippi. And of course no
- 1:59Speaker 3: question to her family is devastated. But the thing that
- 2:02Speaker 3: has social media buzzing is the fact that, you know,
- 2:04Speaker 3: this is not the first time that something like this
- 2:06Speaker 3: has happened, and they're wondering, you know, when people are
- 2:09Speaker 3: going to get to the bottom of it. There's a
- 2:10Speaker 3: laundry list of young black people who've been found hanging
- 2:15Speaker 3: from Georgia to Mississippi and beyond, and still nothing has
- 2:19Speaker 3: been done about it.
- 2:21Speaker 1: I just think that this is highly coincidental. And I
- 2:25Speaker 1: think that even if it were a matter of young
- 2:28Speaker 1: people having all of these mental health events, it should
- 2:32Speaker 1: It requires us sponts from at least a state or
- 2:34Speaker 1: federal level. And it's many young people are coming up
- 2:37Speaker 1: and either taking their lives or having their lives taken
- 2:39Speaker 1: from either way. We need answers either way.
- 2:43Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, there's no doubt there's been a number
- 2:46Speaker 3: of studies done by well the CDC a while ago
- 2:51Speaker 3: anyway regarding you know, the number, the statistic that has
- 2:55Speaker 3: risen among young black boys and girls who are committing
- 2:59Speaker 3: sue side. However, you know, I do agree quite a
- 3:02Speaker 3: bit with a lot of people on social media that
- 3:04Speaker 3: this is just not normal, Like young black people don't
- 3:07Speaker 3: tend to hang themselves, especially in the situation regarding Tajia
- 3:12Speaker 3: Fortune is that she was very she was so high
- 3:14Speaker 3: they had to actually call someone to help get her down,
- 3:17Speaker 3: and so they you know, the family of course, is saying, listen,
- 3:21Speaker 3: you know we need answers here, And of course the
- 3:23Speaker 3: people in Mississippi are saying, don't rush to judgment. You know,
- 3:26Speaker 3: we're doing everything we can to investigate this situation.
- 3:29Speaker 1: When we know that's probably not true. How backwards are y'all? Yeah,
- 3:33Speaker 1: don't worry the Saint Russian this is this is pony
- 3:35Speaker 1: express also.
- 3:41Speaker 3: Judgment right, Like, it's not that hard. It's not that hard,
- 3:45Speaker 3: especially with where we are now in digital it should
- 3:47Speaker 3: be so simple, right, all in the deep all in
- 3:50Speaker 3: the Deep South. Well, this story ain't in the South.
- 3:54Speaker 3: This is actually out of New York. I'm not sure
- 3:57Speaker 3: I know how I stand on it, but let's see
- 3:58Speaker 3: what you guys think. So are you familiar with Royce
- 4:01Speaker 3: White of course, the basketball player. Well he's now saying
- 4:05Speaker 3: that Claires himself as transgender and he might as well
- 4:08Speaker 3: plans to enter the twenty twenty seven w NBA Draft.
- 4:12Speaker 1: Well, all you gotta do is tell you you got
- 4:13Speaker 1: to get on a plane. He won't do it. He
- 4:19Speaker 1: would you know what he blew. He was a he
- 4:21Speaker 1: was a lottery pick. Yep, he was a lottery pick
- 4:25Speaker 1: and was so manally unstable he couldn't even get on
- 4:27Speaker 1: the plane. He couldn't he couldn't fly. So, yeah, if
- 4:30Speaker 1: you ain't gonna fly with the dudes with with with
- 4:32Speaker 1: with Johnson, you ain't gonna fly with women with vaginas.
- 4:34Speaker 1: I don't care what it is.
- 4:35Speaker 3: Yeah, they gotta fly to I mean, he says, you
- 4:38Speaker 3: know he's doing it.
- 4:38Speaker 1: I guess to challenge you know what, you know what
- 4:41Speaker 1: drafting and make him fly to the to the draft
- 4:45Speaker 1: because the problem with him is he wanted to take
- 4:46Speaker 1: a bus everywhere.
- 4:48Speaker 3: Yeah, you can't do that. You get there. Four days
- 4:50Speaker 3: later there's the league full of bus though, I mean,
- 4:55Speaker 3: good luck.
- 4:57Speaker 1: Monday. What had happened was a father brings a gift
- 4:59Speaker 1: to his out of but not to his farmer's former stepdaughter,
- 5:02Speaker 1: and the mother crashes out to take a listen, this.
- 5:05Speaker 4: Is your kids too.
- 5:07Speaker 5: I mean he was acting like these were your kids
- 5:08Speaker 5: who were together?
- 5:09Speaker 6: Why you no president?
- 5:11Speaker 2: You see, and now.
- 5:12Speaker 4: You've got my daughter feelings a second.
- 5:13Speaker 7: Way, we can't be delusion of here.
- 5:16Speaker 2: You can't delusion was taken care of her.
- 5:19Speaker 7: We was together in the past.
- 5:22Speaker 5: And the past. Are you showing them now against you
- 5:26Speaker 5: showing him now only gets a lot Now, We're not
- 5:30Speaker 5: doing that.
- 5:31Speaker 2: We're not doing that.
- 5:31Speaker 1: Come on, baby, come on, who's right? The mama the dad?
- 5:36Speaker 1: We put that question to you.
- 5:37Speaker 8: You said, oh the question today, man, I'll see why
- 5:40Speaker 8: the mama got rid of her soft ass. How dare
- 5:42Speaker 8: you show up and treat that young lady like that
- 5:44Speaker 8: just because you and a grown individual had a misgian
- 5:48Speaker 8: understanding or whatever it is that y'all fell out about.
- 5:51Speaker 8: You don't fall out with the baby. You got to
- 5:53Speaker 8: be kidding me. Man, You're still standing there where she
- 5:56Speaker 8: expected you to be. So I just think he's wrong
- 5:58Speaker 8: for that. Man, even if you word, even if you're right,
- 6:01Speaker 8: you're moraally wrong.
- 6:02Speaker 4: Man.
- 6:03Speaker 2: Well, I feel like that's no way to treat a child.
- 6:07Speaker 2: You know that, you me, that's in humane. You know,
- 6:10Speaker 2: I know it's a child, and I'm gonna give one
- 6:12Speaker 2: something and not give the other. If he didn't want
- 6:15Speaker 2: to give her something, then you should have pulled one
- 6:17Speaker 2: to the side. But that's not the way you treat
- 6:20Speaker 2: children if you have a heart.
- 6:23Speaker 8: I was in that situation, but I raised two of
- 6:26Speaker 8: her daughters and raised and had my daughter and raised them.
- 6:29Speaker 4: I still consider them as my daughters.
- 6:31Speaker 7: Or if I bought some from my biological daughter, I
- 6:34Speaker 7: got something for the other daughters.
- 6:35Speaker 8: So that's what I do. So if he was with
- 6:38Speaker 8: her for a long time, I mean, it shouldn't be
- 6:40Speaker 8: no problem. I mean I'm in like it, you know,
- 6:43Speaker 8: but I'm not like this.
- 6:45Speaker 7: My name is kids from Ohio.
- 6:47Speaker 4: And my question is if the girl's father in her life,
- 6:51Speaker 4: does he buy this man's starter presence when he shot?
- 6:56Speaker 4: I think when the man lived in the hall, he
- 6:58Speaker 4: should provide and give gives something. But once they're not
- 7:03Speaker 4: together anymore, that's that child's father's obligation to provide her
- 7:08Speaker 4: with gives something unless there's just that type of understanding
- 7:12Speaker 4: between all the parents involved.
- 7:16Speaker 7: First time call her, longtime listener. I disagree with d
- 7:21Speaker 7: L usually, And the reason why I say that is
- 7:24Speaker 7: because I feel like, if you come into a woman's life,
- 7:27Speaker 7: you don't accept just her them children are part of her.
- 7:31Speaker 7: You take the whole package, not part of the package.
- 7:33Speaker 7: And you know, because I'm kind of definite life I'm
- 7:35Speaker 7: living right now and stuff. I have to accept her
- 7:38Speaker 7: children like their mind, you know. I have to love
- 7:39Speaker 7: them like their mind and stuff, regardless if they have
- 7:42Speaker 7: a different father. I'm the one in her life right now,
- 7:44Speaker 7: and I accepted her knowing as she had them children,
- 7:47Speaker 7: so I have to accept them as part of the package.
- 7:49Speaker 7: I can't understand why he feels like, you know, well,
- 7:51Speaker 7: I'll give to my biological but not too his. Those
- 7:56Speaker 7: children are part of the package that he hooked up
- 7:58Speaker 7: with stuff, So you need to accept the whole facts
- 8:00Speaker 7: or love well.
- 8:02Speaker 6: My first thought is we need all the information. Okay,
- 8:05Speaker 6: I called in here heated. But it's a birthday party.
- 8:08Speaker 6: So if it is a birthday party, you bring a
- 8:10Speaker 6: gift to the child who has the birthday. Now, Mom,
- 8:14Speaker 6: she had no reason to go off on him, But
- 8:16Speaker 6: I agree if it were Christmas or another holiday, that
- 8:19Speaker 6: you should be buying gifts for everyone. But he is
- 8:21Speaker 6: not obligated. But it does show who he is, and
- 8:24Speaker 6: I guess there's a reason they're divorced.
- 8:26Speaker 5: Really, me, personally, if I'm raising that child and me
- 8:31Speaker 5: and that woman breaks up, I personally feel like I'm
- 8:35Speaker 5: still obligated to keep raising that child, that child looks
- 8:37Speaker 5: at me like a father figure. I'm going to keep
- 8:39Speaker 5: being that father figure to that child. So if I
- 8:41Speaker 5: do buy for one, I'm going to buy for the
- 8:44Speaker 5: other one because Marley, I think is right, because that
- 8:47Speaker 5: would be very disappointed and a crush the kid at
- 8:50Speaker 5: heart to know that they're being raised by somebody who
- 8:53Speaker 5: no longer wants to deal with them either. So in
- 8:56Speaker 5: my personal opinion, I think that you should, you know,
- 9:00Speaker 5: either to raise that child because that child looks looks
- 9:02Speaker 5: up to you as a father figure.
