- 0:23Speaker 2: a celebration once a year with a group of fraternity
- 0:27Speaker 2: brothers from the greatest fraternity, Omega Side Fire Fraternity Incorporated.
- 0:33Speaker 2: We celebrate, and I'm sure the noops feel that way
- 0:37Speaker 2: about theirs. The Alphas feel that way about theirs, the
- 0:39Speaker 2: Sigmas feel that way about theirs, the olders feel that
- 0:43Speaker 2: way about theirs. I'm sure they do. But it's it's
- 0:51Speaker 2: special when you're a part of some organizations. I know
- 0:55Speaker 2: there's a lot of people out here now. I hear
- 0:57Speaker 2: people denouncing the Divine Nine and denouncing their fraternity. I
- 1:01Speaker 2: never experienced that. I don't even know what they're talking about.
- 1:05Speaker 2: I never I never took a vow or a ritual
- 1:08Speaker 2: to an idle god. I never bowed before anybody but
- 1:12Speaker 2: my Lord and Savior. I've never There's nothing in our
- 1:16Speaker 2: writings that ask us to pledge allegiance to a idol
- 1:20Speaker 2: god or something like that all that stuff right there.
- 1:22Speaker 2: I don't even know what they talking about. There's some
- 1:25Speaker 2: people saying some stuff that I'm just unaware of. I
- 1:27Speaker 2: don't know what you're talking about. It's not it'll make
- 1:30Speaker 2: a sci fi period, it's just not. And if you
- 1:34Speaker 2: want to not be a part of something, to just
- 1:36Speaker 2: go ahead. What is all this going online to denounce
- 1:40Speaker 2: it in all this here? Just go go away. You
- 1:45Speaker 2: know you probably wasn't financial no way. Just just go away.
- 1:48Speaker 2: You probably wouldn't even participating. Just go away. Stop Stop
- 1:53Speaker 2: trying to make everybody think they're going to hell because
- 1:56Speaker 2: they're in the fact. That's not true. That's just not true.
- 1:59Speaker 2: I just want say that, man, I happen to be
- 2:02Speaker 2: a member of one and every year I'll get together
- 2:10Speaker 2: with a group of men that we have remained friends
- 2:14Speaker 2: since the seventies. We all met in the seventies. Most
- 2:21Speaker 2: of us met in the same year of seventy four.
- 2:24Speaker 2: It's some that was there before, but most of us
- 2:26Speaker 2: met in seventy four. So this is like fifty two
- 2:33Speaker 2: years of friendship and we all cuse and we gather together. Man,
- 2:40Speaker 2: And for me it's quite special because these are the
- 2:44Speaker 2: only people from who knew me before I was any
- 2:50Speaker 2: of this. These are the only people I can sit
- 2:54Speaker 2: around and be naturally and completely who I am. And
- 2:59Speaker 2: I'm so great to God for that gift. I don't
- 3:03Speaker 2: have to pretend. I don't have to fake, I don't
- 3:05Speaker 2: have to front. I don't have to sit here and
- 3:08Speaker 2: talk a certain way or be mindful of what's coming
- 3:11Speaker 2: out of my mouth. No, man, I can sit there
- 3:14Speaker 2: and just be my natural black self in all of it.
- 3:19Speaker 2: And it's my new Christmas. You know, Christmas used to
- 3:22Speaker 2: be my favorite holiday, but now it's for my grandkids.
- 3:27Speaker 2: You know. Christmas is for them, watching them, you know,
- 3:30Speaker 2: sit around that tree opening gifts and stuff. And I
- 3:33Speaker 2: sit there, man, smile and watch them do all of
- 3:36Speaker 2: this stuff. It's just a great thing, you know. But
- 3:39Speaker 2: this once a year, two week event that I throw
- 3:44Speaker 2: at my ranch, it's special, man, And it reminds me
- 3:48Speaker 2: of a bond of friendship that is so essential. You know,
- 3:57Speaker 2: there's this great organization. When you break down what the
- 4:02Speaker 2: interpretation of their letters mean, it means friendship is essential
- 4:07Speaker 2: to the soul. And I'm gonna tell you something I've learned.
- 4:10Speaker 2: It is essential. You gotta have a friend. You can
- 4:13Speaker 2: live in this world without your mother. I've done it.
- 4:17Speaker 2: You can live in this world without your father, I've
- 4:20Speaker 2: done it. You can live in this world when your
- 4:24Speaker 2: big brother passes on. I'm doing that too. You can
- 4:29Speaker 2: live in this world with a lot of stuff. But
- 4:32Speaker 2: I'm gonna tell you something you cannot live without. You
- 4:34Speaker 2: cannot live in this world without a friend. You have
- 4:38Speaker 2: to have a friend, man. You gotta get somebody on
- 4:42Speaker 2: planet Earth that you can tell it to, somebody that'll
- 4:46Speaker 2: stand with you. I don't care what you done got
- 4:47Speaker 2: yourself in. I don't care what your circumstances. I don't
- 4:51Speaker 2: care what the deal reveals. Somebody who will stand with
- 4:54Speaker 2: you in the clutch and say, hey, man, I'm with
- 4:56Speaker 2: you and nonjudgmental man. But you do that for it, Bruh.
- 5:01Speaker 2: I'm just telling you I did it, and why I
- 5:04Speaker 2: did it. I made a mistake. I just need somebody there.
- 5:08Speaker 2: And when you have a friend, you have something special.
- 5:12Speaker 2: And I have some friends, a large group of them.
- 5:17Speaker 2: And we've been friends in this special thing for fifty
- 5:20Speaker 2: two years. Fifty two years of friendship, man, and we
- 5:25Speaker 2: still gather, we still laugh now. During the year, they
- 5:29Speaker 2: see each other oftentimes in Cleveland because a lot of
- 5:31Speaker 2: us from Ohio, a lot of they get together for
- 5:34Speaker 2: barbecues and stuff like different gatherings they have up their
- 5:38Speaker 2: district meetings. I only get to see them once a year,
- 5:42Speaker 2: and it's the best time of the year for me.
- 5:45Speaker 2: So let me tell you something, Man, if you have
- 5:46Speaker 2: friends somewhere, celebrate your friendships. Celebrate them because they're rare,
- 5:53Speaker 2: and the older you get, the more rare they become
- 5:56Speaker 2: because you learn the true definition of friendship. They're not associates,
- 6:06Speaker 2: they're friends. And so if you have that, man celebrated,
- 6:10Speaker 2: enjoy your time with your friends if you can. I
- 6:13Speaker 2: want to send a shout out to the queues all
- 6:15Speaker 2: over the world. I want to send a shout out
- 6:17Speaker 2: to all the noops all over the world, all of
- 6:20Speaker 2: the sigmas all over the well, all of the alphas
- 6:22Speaker 2: all over the world, all the eyotas all over the world.
- 6:25Speaker 2: Celebrate each other. Man, y'all got brotherhood, We got friendship.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Slight difference. Y'all have a great day to day. Talk
- 6:34Speaker 2: to God today. He would absolutely love to hear from you. Y'all.
- 6:37Speaker 2: Stay in peace all right for all.
