One Day for Moms · Let's Ask the Mamas!

  We got a question for our American mama. Dear mama, why do mothers
• 0:03
  and fathers only get a single day, but people who say they are LGBTQ,
• 0:06
  et cetera get an entire month. Well, let's ask our American mama,
• 0:11
  Mama, Mama, and joining us now our American mama Terry Netterville.
• 0:26
  Looking at national holidays, national observances here in the United States, you have
• 0:31
  one day for fathers, you get Father's Day, right, You get one
• 0:34
  day for mothers, it's Mother's Day. Those are Sundays, so you don't
• 0:37
  actually get a day off of work from that. You're still and it's not
• 0:41
  like mom's or dads actually get a day off even though it's it's Sunday.
• 0:44
  You still have to be parenting, right, So you get one day for
• 0:48
  veterans, Yeah, you get one day Martin Luther King yea. Christopher Columbus,
• 0:54
  well, and actually Christopher Columbus, now you don't even get that full
• 0:57
  day because folks are mad that, you know, he he committed all the
• 1:00
  genocide. So it's the Native American Day. So we don't really even give
• 1:03
  Christopher Columbus, who discover the New World, a day anymore. This is
• 1:08
  one day to say thanks. But yeah, but if you're a member of
• 1:11
  the LGBTQ community, you know, a full month, full month. You
• 1:15
  know, somebody said this on Twitter and I thought this was the truth.
• 1:18
  They said, I'm sorry, but being attracted to the same sex just doesn't
• 1:21
  care the same way as discovering America, being the first president of our union,
• 1:23
  or saving all of humanity. One day, we're gonna look back at
• 1:26
  this and we'n think we have lost our minds. Absolutely, And okay,
• 1:30
  let's go another one. There's Black History Month. Okay, but you don't
• 1:34
  actually have parades in the street. You don't actually have to have everybody say,
• 1:38
  okay, well i'm black this month, right like in Pride Month.
• 1:42
  Everybody has to be an ally or you have to be gay, or you
• 1:46
  are the problem. Yeah, not only are the problem that you are disparaged,
• 1:49
  you are. Yes, I mean they get not only do they get
• 1:55
  the whole month, but they get um. Every single store has to virtue
• 2:00
  signal with everyone. You cannot get away with saying you know what, I'm
• 2:04
  great, I mean whatever whatever you want to be. I don't care because
• 2:07
  we don't care to have your parade. Go ahead. Why are you also
• 2:09
  intolerant of those of us who are not and we don't want to talk about
• 2:14
  it the whole time? Why do sports teams have to have rainbows on their
• 2:16
  uniforms during the month of June and just the month of and the ones who
• 2:21
  feel like they don't want to wear that they're ostracized? Why are they canceled?
• 2:23
  Why are they ostracized? Why are they fired? I don't understand this
• 2:27
  world. But somebody else made a point that I thought was great. They
• 2:30
  said, an entire month dedicated to celebrating our veterans and raising awareness of their
• 2:35
  unique issues might go a long way toward lowering homelessness and suicide rates among vets.
• 2:40
  Imagine if we took a month for our veterans, those who truly put
• 2:45
  their lives on the line on behalf of all of us. Yeah, not
• 2:47
  just one day, right, but what if we did a full month.
• 2:50
  You're validating who they are and we understand what they went through. Sure,
• 2:53
  because the truth is, if you are part of the LGBTQ community, you
• 2:58
  do you did grow up up just having to go through difficult times. I've
• 3:01
  got gay friends who said, oh my god, if I wanted to be
• 3:05
  this way, I probably wouldn't because it made life hard. So they do
• 3:08
  have that hard road, just as our vets, just as African Americans have
• 3:13
  said for years they did. And so it's like, why I don't understand
• 3:16
  why we're having to put so much time and energy and days into the sex
• 3:24
  that they choose to lay in bed with, right, and yet all of
• 3:29
  these other people we just get we give a day two and you better not.
• 3:32
  You better not disagree. Not only can you not disagree with them getting
• 3:36
  their whole month right, but you better get on board and shout out to
• 3:39
  the mounttops. This is the best thing that they could have. This is
• 3:43
  what we need to do for them. You're supposed to be wearing the rainbows
• 3:46
  too, yes, And I don't. I don't under get it. I
• 3:49
  don't understand it. I don't understand. This is one of my has been
• 3:53
  one of my complaints about Pride Month since it first came around. Why I
• 4:00
  am I celebrating pride? Okay, First of all, pride is one of
• 4:03
  the sins, yeah, seven deathly sins. So we don't have a lust
• 4:06
  month, we don't have a gluttony month, we don't have an envy month.
• 4:11
  Why do we have a pride month? And it's not just you know
• 4:15
  about gay pride being the problem. Any pride is the problem, right,
• 4:18
  So interesting? Okay, how about this if if this is the left will
• 4:23
  say they don't choose. You don't choose if you're gay, you don't choose
• 4:27
  if you're homosexual. Okay, well, why are you taking pride in something
• 4:30
  you had nothing to do with? That would be like me taking pride and
• 4:34
  being white. I had nothing to do with that. I didn't pick it.
• 4:38
  I didn't choose it. If I could have chosen a skin color,
• 4:41
  I would have chosen one that didn't burn as easily. Okay, I had
• 4:45
  nothing to do with picking this, So I don't have white pride. Well,
• 4:49
  the other thing too, And those are really good points. I've really
• 4:54
  never thought about that, to be honest. But the other thing is growing
• 4:58
  up. Whenever the word pride was mentioned, it was really pertaining to our
• 5:01
  country, pride in your country, So American pride, yes. And so
• 5:05
  about a year ago, I wanted I was trying to find these commercials about
• 5:10
  American pride, so I googled pride, thinking in my head that it was
• 5:15
  going to come up. American pride I was going to have like pictures of
• 5:19
  and what came up was the opposite, I mean not the opposite of.
• 5:23
  What came up was all of the LGBTQ stuff. It was all the rainbows
• 5:26
  and and I thought, oh my gosh, how did we how did they
• 5:29
  get the word pride? And so that's the only thing that comes up.
• 5:32
  You can you can be prideful about. I'm very I feel very proud of
• 5:39
  my children. I have pride and who they have, yes, and part
• 5:44
  of that, and I feel that I feel like that it was by God's
• 5:47
  design. Sure, God helped guide me as their mother. God brought God
• 5:51
  brought them into this world, and so I have pride. So but if
• 5:55
  you do google that word, the word is now only pertaining to this month
• 6:00
  of June for the LGBTQ, and I just don't understand, just like the
• 6:03
  rainbow, that's not what the rainbow used to stand for. If you like
