Transcript
- Kobi: What's up everybody? It's 40 Exchange and we are back for another video. Today we are doing our first reaction video. It is a reaction video of Nick Cannon at night. He said some pretty interesting things on this episode that we are. reacted to is also a sneak peek for what he got coming out. So we're gonna just dive right into it. LayTheDon: Boom. GoFredo: worst Kobi: So Leigh, tell me how you feel about that video? GoFredo: Given the Bible told you was a Jezebel and yeah, and worst thing it is good Lord. Good Lord. Kevin: Green. LayTheDon: That was deep. Kevin: That's green. LayTheDon: That was deep. GoFredo: They was talking. I ain't gonna lie, they was talking. They was talking. LayTheDon: It's nothing. I think we're talking then. Yeah. GoFredo: They was talking. Let's good lord. Let's just dive right into it. Hey, for our first reaction, hey y'all, I ain't gonna lie. Lay two for two. Lay had the Lei had the the topic last week, and this was low-key, her. This was her video, and she boy, she clocked in with this one. They was they was preaching on that. So Lei. Speak your peace. Speak your mind. Speak your mind. LayTheDon: 100 % agree with Dr. Omar. Because yes, we can't as black women, we cannot get away with half the shit these white women do. Or any other race for that matter. And the fact that yes, you got these Kim Kardashian's and that's doing the same shit that had the black woman but the black woman wants to get put down, we get called whores, are a marriage material, we ain't like. I'm being honest with you, I fell some type of way. like, I'm just thinking about society, especially these rich people. I'm like, damn like if I just want to, all I want is, you know, if, if I wanted two men for financial stability, I'm just a hoe. But that is a smart idea. If I had two men, guess what? I know that that house would be well taken care of. Do I want two men? Let you know, no, I do not want a two man babe just whenever you see this. But. a woman wanting two men just for financial stability, it's a smart idea. Especially if all three of them have an understanding of what's going on, But for a black woman to say that, it's a Paul. It's a Paul. GoFredo: How'd you get to three men? That was two. LayTheDon: Well, in this society, you might need three, but I think I'd be out of two. But I'm good with the one, GoFredo: Hey, it's getting yeah, it's getting up though. It's getting up though. LayTheDon: though. I'm good with my one. But if a white woman decided she want to have three men, she's... seen as a freaking queen, a star, as a, as a, she out there, she, she got it like that. I'm just like, bro, I'm not saying I want that life, but knowing that I can't even have that life if I wanted to, it's kind of like a little sting on my black women, like, cause we are beautiful. We, we, we do bring a lot more to the table. It's a good bit to the table. It's just like, damn, like why we, why we can't just be. GoFredo: I think that's a race problem LayTheDon: Okay, I'm going to... GoFredo: in total though. Kobi: Excellent. LayTheDon: It is, but I just feel like black people, black women specifically are at the very bottom of the totem pole when it comes to that. We're one step below black men. In my opinion. GoFredo: Yeah. LayTheDon: In my opinion. GoFredo: think I don't think you c I don't think it's false and the reason I said that is because the reason and I've had these discussions we all didn't have these discussions before but I just recently had this discussion with somebody and I was saying that and I we may have talked about this on previous episodes honestly but the when it comes to the ranking, when it comes to races and ethnicity or whatever the case like that may be, I do think it's black men are ahead of black women and and the only reason is is because they men. Because we live in a in a hierarchy where no matter what, the man is at the top. So that's that's that's I truly I I agree with you on that one. I honestly I agree with both of them. You know, I agree with both of what they said. But before I tap into you know, tap into what what I was thinking and my views, Kev, what what what's your what's your thoughts on what they said? How you you agree, you disagree? Like what's your What's your thoughts, boy? Speaking my Kevin: I agree. I definitely not. GoFredo: I I wouldn't hold on, I wouldn't try to put you in the in a in the vine too. Kevin: Bro trying to get me caught up. You try to get me caught up, man. Alright. GoFredo: A man's about to say, I don't man, I don't agree with nothing they say. No, I don't know. Kevin: I Kobi: Yeah. Kevin: know you like how you put an emphasis on you GoFredo: No, let me stop playing. Kevin: like I he put a emphasis on disagree. Like he knew that's what I was gonna say, no, we stop. GoFredo: Yeah. Hey, you ain't finna get me caught up. We ain't finna do that. I'm just answering the questions. I'm just saying LayTheDon: And we will. Kevin: no, I agree with they were saying though, because it's it's crazy. It's crazy growing up and you and you and you could probably and you can attest to this, being a depending on what community you live in, being an athlete, I think you were almost at a certain point expected to date white women at a certain point. And like me, like I never I never dated any any white women at all. And that's like for me, and it's like and it wasn't a say it was a problem because they were white or anything like that. I think my physical attraction was just more towards black women, Hispanic just not white women. It just wasn't my that was not my attraction. LayTheDon: and you can it on TV, on some TV. Kevin: Yeah, so I I I I like me a little GoFredo: Well I Kevin: I I do like me a little you know what I'm saying? I do. I can't I can't I can't LayTheDon: You know what I mean? We need some lorries in your relationships. I get it. I got you. Kevin: I can't. But no, and it's like I and I'll be GoFredo: Talking about some Larry's is crazy. Kevin: real, like black women are my first choice. but it's I mean, that's just that's just me. I don't speak GoFredo: Okay. Kevin: for everybody. That's that's my preference. but no, he's a hundred percent right because and I'm saying the athlete part because he, you know, he made that point about like you know, like a Kim Kardashian per se. Like I know some women that were ran through. And were glorified and I know that they're ran through. That is wild. That is wild to me. So he made so no, I mean he made a a a great point about that. especially like, you know, just like to that point about being sexually free, they're glorified for what they do. And like they like and and again, like they could be ran through and they still get glorified. Black women do not have that privilege at all. They can catch one body and somebody find out about it, they they're done. They're done and that's and that's wild. That is wild to me. Wow Yeah. GoFredo: She's gone. That's the number one thing we're gonna that people gonna say she's gone. Kevin: Yeah, yeah. GoFredo: Definitely. What about Kevin: Yeah. LayTheDon: Kobe, let's meet every GoFredo: you, Kobe? LayTheDon: day at Y-Women. Kobi: You said one link? Kevin: Who, who maybe? LayTheDon: Have you ever done it Kevin: I was about to say. Kobi: I've never I've never dated a white woman. LayTheDon: You've never, you never, you know, parallel can you snow a little bit? Kobi: I've probably done a snow before, but I've never dated a white woman. LayTheDon: Okay, Dr. Uma. GoFredo: Ha ha ha. Kobi: I'm I'm in agreement with Kevin. My first choice and preference will always be a black woman. What are you what are you doing all that for? LayTheDon: The government is crazy. We can't just say camp like I'm trying to tell y'all Kobe is the fake. GoFredo: Yeah. Hey bro, they stay getting to every episode. Kevin: Yeah. Kobi: I can't do nothing right. GoFredo: Excuse me. They they get into every episode. It wouldn't be an episode they get into it. Kobi: Kev, I agree with you. My preference, my all-time first option dating wise, would be a black woman. GoFredo: Your number one draft pick is a black woman. What's Kobi: My number one draft pick. GoFredo: up? Kobi: Number one. Number LayTheDon: Mm-hmm. Kobi: two, I never had one, but I I would do Latina Mexican, I I dive into that. I ain't never had it, but I I I would like to deep and dive into it, but in in in the words of big big byfredo, I would like to deep turn it. GoFredo: Hey boy, but man, hey you here? Hey Shorty. Shorty say he tried to get into some. Kevin: He said Kobe said I'm just trying I'm trying to sample the I gotta sample the buffet before I make my plate. I I can I can dig it, bro. I can dig it. GoFredo: Yeah Kobi: But GoFredo: Hey hey Kill hey Kill he ain't trying to sample nothing he trying to just go in he trying to Kevin: Yeah. GoFredo: just eat he said I'm trying to deep dive He put a whole lot Kobi: Way. GoFredo: of emphasis on deep LayTheDon: Okay, alright. Kobi: Crazy. but that that that video GoFredo: Go here, my bad, bro. Kobi: was was eye opening due to the simple fact that everything that was said in the video is correct. The the the the mentality of that derives from back when we were slaves, when we were enslaved. So that that that was from the the the white man doing whatever they wanted to do to the black woman. Impregnating them, having their way with them, things of that nature. That is why a black man would have that perception of a black woman. I know my history, this happened, so I know how you could get down. That's how a black man could mentally think that way. It's just like that. And I GoFredo: I think Kobi: know Fredo is a big history buff. as he is in a l a law buff. So he knows a thing or two about this stuff. So so GoFredo: This facts, this facts. This facts. This both of my Kobi: Frayle, go ahead and talk to me. GoFredo: favorite Hey boy. Hey boy, lay through some c those through some topics in there. Number two of my favorite ones. I ain't gonna lie to you. LayTheDon: Hold on, hold on, before you go in there, I'm ask you same question. GoFredo: What? LayTheDon: You're a dead white woman? GoFredo: No. wait, no, LayTheDon: Have you ever, have you ever, Kobi: yeah. LayTheDon: hold on, have you ever fall in the snow? GoFredo: Yeah. LayTheDon: Which way you never dated a white woman? GoFredo: Well, I don't know if I ain't gonna lie, I don't the shorty you talking about, I don't even know if shorty white. LayTheDon: couple of them but we don't talk about it. GoFredo: No, no, no, no, no, no, no, it wasn't. No, it was. Dating dating is is Kobi: I wanna let wait, wait, the main one. The main one is he what he GoFredo: frolicking and dating is two different you come on now. We both know that's two different things. Frolicking and dating is two different things. Kobi: Late. LayTheDon: You ain't never dated a white woman? GoFredo: Nah, it's the I know which one you talking about, but I don't think I I don't think she was. LayTheDon: I like two of them. Kobi: Ha ha ha. GoFredo: You might have you might have told me who these two is 'cause I only know one. LayTheDon: honest with you right i've ever seen you other than your your last 10 year girlfriend well she she was she was black right she was half black Kobi: She Matt. GoFredo: No, she was Mexican. LayTheDon: she's nice yeah i don't think i've ever seen you with a black woman GoFredo: In West Virginia, where they at? Kevin: Okay. LayTheDon: I'm- Bitch I'm here! The book! Kobi: Ha ha ha. LayTheDon: There's what? There's black woman here. What do you mean? There's plenty of black women here. Kevin: There's only two in the state of West Virginia. There's only two in the state of West Virginia. One of them on this show. GoFredo: Yeah, are she talking about this too? Yeah, LayTheDon: See you. Kobi: Ha ha ha LayTheDon: They're a black woman, it routine. GoFredo: First of all, in Chicago, in Chicago, all I talked to, f all I talked to and all I grew up around was black and Hispanic or Latinos have you, or Latinos, I should say, have you say so that's the only two I really indulge in. Dayton is something compl some dating is something completely different. but to what they w to what they were saying, Frollicking is is something completely different. I ain't got no I ain't got nothing against any of that. at the end of the a woman's a woman. So I ain't got nothing against any of that. I'm dipping my toe in the water. But at the end of the day, with the full fledged commitment and everything like that, that's something that that's something that I I should say hesitate with simply because the simple fact of the matter is of what they what they said, but just not even just that the whole history behind it. So what we talked about with last episode, with that the level of trauma, I know what it's like to get to like with me or care said. we just going to McDonald's and we get pulled over and just be and we're not even the ones driving. And the officers think that we got this man held hostage. And we like we literally, you can clearly tell we college kids. We got our college IDs on us and everything. And we still get pulled over. And they basically searching the car and everything, profiling us, and we just laughing it off. But at the end of the day, me, Kev, and the homie Mike, we know what's going on. we hip to the story, but at the same time, we still kids to it. So being in that situation, I was always at a mindset of imagine taking a road trip and you get pulled over and you got a racist. And it ain't even be a racist, just somebody just be like, and who this black kid with this this black guy with this white woman? who does he think he is? And now all of a sudden I'm getting profiled simply because of that. But to what they saying, I definitely agree. I don't think it's nothing wrong. I don't think what we're saying is wrong. I just think what they said was actual facts. Kevin: Yeah. GoFredo: And whatnot. I don't think anybody can come into our messages and say anything wrong. We're not downplaying nobody, anything like that, any other race. But at the end of the day, the truth is the truth. we had our discussion in our meeting last week that I end up doing some research and the number one race that basically controls the the bulk of the market for OnlyFans is white women. So like that right there speaks volume of itself within itself, to be honest. And it's like, Myron Gaines says, they got a 400 yard head start. Just with not just from that to everything. So it's like what Nick said. We was more worried about survival and protecting our own more than worried about sucking toes or doing any type of fetishes, anything like that. Anything. Well he said fetishes, but it's like realistically, our our ancestors was more worried about survival and being free more than they was worried about. trying different positions and doing anything o anything of that nature and whatnot. So and history w history shows that men and women in our culture was getting different things done to them sexually and getting abused and everything like that. So them even indulging in something like that was considered crazy. And it goes back to before I kick it back to you, Lei, it was something they said that I thought was was very, very powerful. And we had this conversation when it came with the black communities, was they gave black women a Bible and called them a Jazebel and basically told them they was the worst thing in the Bible. And it's just one of those things that is still something that we teach our people to this day. And it's it's a it's a religion that was given to us that the other side technically doesn't even follow for the mo for the most part. And it's just one of those things to where They use the Bible to keep our people, or use use Christianity basically to keep our people, submissive, Kobi: Daw. GoFredo: to keep to keep them down. So I just think it's a psychological effect. And now I think it's society, we had this conversation before. Now I think it's a society to where now it's like a mind game they plan to where now it's like a a war between black men and black women belittling each other on the internet. And now you got that happening more than anything. So so it's just one of those things to where we just to Lay's point, we at the bottom of the totem pole and now we fighting each other. We not even uplifting each other. We not doing any of that anymore like we used to do in years past. Now it's just about bashing each other. And now it's, a white black woman can go, if a black woman go date a white man, it's she's she's she's how do they say, she's she's building up. She's moving up. She's going in. Don't nobody say nothing if a black woman dates a a white man. But if a black man dates a white woman, it it's seen as betrayal. It's seen that he's doing the community wrong. It seems more of this, that, and the third. So it's just so much contradiction in our community within itself. But overall, I don't think what they said was false at all. I don't think that if Kim Kardashian I do think if Kim Kardashian was black, she wouldn't have had Reggie. Chris, Kanye, any of that. She wouldn't have been able to have that because if you think about the women, the black women in our culture, celebrities that have been with multiple partners, what are they today? realistically. I can't remember the lady that that that was in Players Club. she dated fifty and everything like that and all this LayTheDon: I'm going home. GoFredo: other stuff, and like she's single. And I I was somebody and y'all gonna have to fact check me, but somebody said Halle Berry single and whatnot. And it's just one of those things. But I also think that, black women are powerful and easy to not easy, but more willing to stay on their own. But at the same time, it's just like you're more likely to see somebody that's white in Kim Kardashian situation to find somebody else with two, three, four kids and whatnot than anything else. Kim got a crazy baby daddy named Kanye and she still's bagging bagging rich guys. She's still bagging people. That I don't think that happens in our community. As with with with she got three kids, two kids, two or three, whatever. She got two or three kids. Yeah, Kanye going crazy, doing all of this, everything like that, the history that she got and all this other stuff, all that seems to get swept under the rug. And I just think that because in in in society and the culture itself, People don't care about it. I don't think people look at that and frown upon it. But if you see a black woman catching bodies and everything like that, because I ain't gonna lie, and I I will say this before I let you go, Lake. I've been even in the situation to where I be scrolling on IG and I see a a black woman and she'll have a LinkedIn and or a LinkedIn and be out of OnlyFans that I'm disappointed in her. I'm like, God, come on, Shreddy. You ain't gotta do that. I I've been victim of that. To where it's just like, come on, baby, we can do better. cause I I just think that in our culture is like, it's just one of those things. But I also get the you chasing your bag. You wanna, you're not looking at yourself as a as a martyr or looking at yourself as somebody to change the culture. You looking at getting your money, if this white girl can do it, why can't I do it? Or if this Hispanic girl or whatever can do it, why can't I do it? So I can say I've been victim of that myself, so where I look at it and be like, dang, come on, man, we can just do better than that. Because, essentially what they said. Well, what would you gonna say, LayTheDon: I just feel like years or through history like females we can't help our genes we can't help that we were grown with big ass big titties flawless skin big lips shit like that and then to the point where back then years when we were slaves they used to literally flaunt women with big assets literally have them in cages as a freak show while people pay money just to see and drool over these voluptuous women to the point where women get attention from that. And I said, it's not our fault. But if we were to flaunt that attention, it's a problem. But then you got these same white women that's going to go and get these big asses because they weren't blessed with it. Get these fake titties because they weren't blessed with Get their lips done because they also wasn't blessed with it. But yet they're still desirable. And I'm just like, they literally got to sit. At this point, y'all buying the same thing. And the fact that we still get put down for it. It's just like, don't get me wrong. It wasn't always like that. I think it's more now in the North society as really rejecting, rejecting things in that nation because don't get me wrong. There are some famous black women that we know of that are known by their and for their assets. We know our pinkies and our Ebony's. if you don't know who that is, you too young for GoFredo: You funny as yeah. LayTheDon: this episode. But Then you got the Kanye, the Kim Kardashian's and the, what's another white woman that's known for her assets? I don't know too many white women that's known for their assets. GoFredo: She said, You got me there. Kobi: Right. Kevin: I feel like that's the main one. Kobi: One of her sisters. Chloe Chloe Kardashian, whatever one of the other Kardashians. LayTheDon: So all the Kardashians basically and all them and GoFredo: clay, yeah. LayTheDon: all of them have gotten work done if you've ever seen a picture of all of them with no work done I Don't want to be GoFredo: Different. LayTheDon: mean but they look like they was on wrong turn a little bit but GoFredo: D damn. But you don't want to be mean is crazy. Excuse me. Kevin: Yeah. LayTheDon: Just saying. Right, before all the surgeries, they weren't the greatest looking group of girls. But now y'all done everything done and now y'all so freaking desirable. Like, I don't get it. Like for example, got, who is it? Lil' Kim. Lil' Kim, we all can say she was a very beautiful woman. She still is. But society let her go get all the surgery and work done. to keep up with the white women in society, to be more desirable like the white women. It's just like, Shardy, you was beautiful. You was beautiful as you are. And I feel like now it's just the point that we just in competition with the white women. I'm not, like I say, I don't have anything against white women, it's like, it went from like them putting us down so much to us in competition to the point now it's hurting all black women. We don't need to be used. don't need the extra lips. We don't need to like black GoFredo: No. LayTheDon: women in general are freaking beautiful. If GoFredo: Thanks. LayTheDon: someone would just tell them and not put them down all the time, like a lot of women don't hear that they're beautiful regularly. They don't hear that. Unfortunately, it's always you're beautiful for a black girl. You look good for a black girl. It's never a you look real beautiful today or you know, it's not a regular. It's always for a black girl. Why is it always going to be for a black girl? For us to have any type of compliment or any type of sissa beauty in the way we look, in the way we act, in the way we think, it's always for a black girl, never just a statement. GoFredo: But think of think of it like this though, and we talked about this in our meeting as well, but just look at society as a whole. Like the culture of not even just in Amer I mean America I mean obviously just just copies everything, st it's not copy, steals everything from, you know, every other race, but like just look at the music, fashion, everything. The w the that just being taken from black women and they kinda moved it to its own. I remember I had a homie that this man used to say straightforward, like, Man, I don't knock black guys dating white women, but like date a white woman. Don't date the white woman that that that's going to get the d the braids and you know, and all this other stuff and trying to quote unquote as they say act black, but it's kind of the ghetto side of our community and you trying to do that, like don't do that. Like if you're gonna date a white woman, date a white woman and whatnot. Like Go there. And it's so it's one of those things to where when you look at it to where you said, just look at it as a whole. And it's so so normal to where it used to be a point we old enough to remember, we can go it was 24 hours Walmart. So we it's old we old are old enough to remember that if you can go to Walmart and you didn't even see a white woman with a bonnet on. Now it's second aid, like the same and not and like I said, we're not bashing, we're just speaking our truth. Like the same side. The same community that used to bash our black women for wearing bonnets in Walmart, so wearing bonnets out in public or anything like that, are now having essentially they kids, wearing. And now some of them that used to bash our black women are actually wearing the bonnets in Walmart, wearing the big fluffy flip-flops and whatnot, coming out to everything in the tank top. so what was downplayed so much in our community is now looked as, you know, okay. Because now white women has made it okay. Or I should say from when the black woman's standpoint. now it seemed to be okay and whatnot. It's okay for a white woman to have her braids, her basically the long braids and whatnot, with the and go to Miami and go forever a spring break and mothers look at her as as she the baddest and whatnot. But if a black woman do that or whatever the case like that may be, it's just a black woman. Or it goes to what Lay said. man, for a black girl, she do look good. it's that. I didn't I didn't heard black men say that. And just it's almost like it just rolls off the tongue like it's just second nature now to where even people in our own culture is now just saying that. And I do think it's I do think it's a it's a problem. I do think it's a problem. I do think it's a psychological problem. And I do think as a whole, I do think our culture needs to do better. But Kev and and Kobe, you know, that's kick it to you gentlemen. both of y'all got daughters and both of y'all got daughters that are black. ooh, excuse me, as y'all see how society is conforming, y'all see how society is happening, like, how do y'all feel raising y'all kids in this world that we live in now where like, you know, it's this weird animosity when it comes to black women. It's this weird animosity between our culture and everything like that. Like, what's y'all views on it as as as black girl dads, essentially. we can kick it to Kobe first, Kobe got the oldest, so you you almost there. You at eighteen. So it's things finna get real interesting for you real soon. Kobi: yeah. GoFredo: Hold on, real quick. If your daughter walked in with a white man, what you saying? Kobi: to ask your to answer that question. We're gonna GoFredo: Hold on, don't now. Kobi: answer that question. I wouldn't know what to say, but as long as he's doing his part as a man, then I have no no no no no nothing to say about it. I'm not gonna GoFredo: Okay. Kobi: criticize my daughter for dating outside of her own race if that's her preference. It's all about preferences. GoFredo: Okay. That's a good that's a good Kobi: If she preferred not to date a black woman, a black man or black woman, if that's what she liked. GoFredo: okay, I'm okay, you okay, you taking it somewhere. You taking it somewhere. He taking it so he done dug himself a hole, Kobi: Then that that's that's her preference. I'm not gonna batch her. GoFredo: now he gotta keep going. Now he gotta You done dug a hole, now you gotta keep going. Kobi: I I I didn't catch myself on that Kevin: It's good. Kobi: one. LayTheDon: He was doing so well. I was like, dad, he's doing good in that episode. GoFredo: Hey, that man said if she played a black woman, he said I mean I mean I mean if if she wants to, if she wants to, I'ma love her regardless. Kobi: Okay. GoFredo: That man is dig You dug a hole, you might as well keep digging that partner. No, I'm just playing, go ahead. Kobi: But that wouldn't bother me at all. As long as he's doing as he should and taking care of her as I would, then we're we're we're perfectly fine. GoFredo: Okay. Kobi: raising her is a totally different thing. I want her just to be comfortable within her skin and her body. As she gets older and she's more exposed to the world, experiencing new things. I don't want her to ever lose sight of her, who she is, what she likes, who she came from, what her nationality is, what her history is. We all derive from our ancestors. That's the end all be GoFredo: Excellency. Kobi: all. I don't want her to ever lose sight that her skin color is the most beautiful thing in the world, no matter what. GoFredo: I respect that. I respect that. I respect that. LayTheDon: Yes! Dr. Umar Jr. GoFredo: Yeah, hey, he clay hey Kevin: Okay. GoFredo: he said so with that one. He clocked it in with that one. Ken, so what about you, man? you, you got you got your little baby, but we blink and we 40, so so Kevin: Yeah. GoFredo: we gonna get there soon. But before we get before we get going, I didn't want you to think I wouldn't go ask you this either. I wasn't asked you this neither. If your daughter walked in with a white man, what's your response? Kevin: Dang, what's my I'm be like, GoFredo: Yeah. Kevin: hey. Hey my man, what's your credits for? LayTheDon: Thank GoFredo: Ha ha ha ha. Kobi: Ha ha ha. Kevin: Listen, I ain't go through all this for no reason. I need to know. GoFredo: Well, your credit score is crazy. Kevin: He's gonna be five, I'm gonna I try again, try again. GoFredo: Hey, he said, Well, I'm at a Kevin: Karima. GoFredo: five. Yeah, nah, nah, Judy, nah. At a five? Kevin: I ain't worked this hard for that. LayTheDon: You're the financial advisor. You're supposed to help him get that up. That's possibly your partner's better stepdad. Help him get his financial advice. Kobi: Now he's supposed to come correct. He's supposed to come correct. He's supposed to have an 850 out the door. GoFredo: Hey, wait a minute, wait a minute. I just said on the date, y'all talking about Kevin: man, he GoFredo: some, he needs to change the whole man's financial plan. I ain't see Kobi: Mm-hmm. GoFredo: all that. Kevin: Yeah. LayTheDon: Stupid. Kevin: That that he better come prepared. That's all I've that's all I'm gonna say. He better come prepared. GoFredo: But no, Kev, but as you as you as you as you as you look at society though, bro, and look how things flowing in life, we all are aware of our history and seeing the essentially the dynamic of what society is going into, the direction that it's going into, and it's you know, it's realistically it's a little scary, you know. Kevin: Yeah. GoFredo: as us as black individuals and as we bring black blood into this into this into this you know into this interesting world that we live in like like how do you maneuver I know I asked you that before but like with what they say like how do you kind of maneuver your daughter throughout this like what's your plans to kinda maneuver your daughter throughout this and let her know that like you know she is loved. Essentially, and not to look at her skin as something to be ashamed of as she go through society of, it's a little bit different than, as she's getting older. we didn't have, I our our sisters and, cousins and girl cousins didn't have the black Barbie dolls and everything like that. So things are a little bit different, but as you maneuver through society, like like what's what's essentially what's your plan? I'm curious. Kevin: Well, for me it's a it's a little bit different than what Kobe said. And he said a lot of a lot of strong points. So for me, her mom so so her mom is is Chinese, so I I I I frolic in other in other places, you know what I mean? So yeah, LayTheDon: You are sooo cute! GoFredo: I see. Kevin: I was frolic frolic. GoFredo: You got you got an agent. Kevin: Hey, listen, I I done listen LayTheDon: You gotta believe it! Kevin: Yeah, I got a blazing baby, you know what I mean? LayTheDon: Thanks for the mic. Kevin: I dunno I was I was out here infiltrating villages. Bridging bridging LayTheDon: You're good here. Kobi: That's insane. Kevin: I was infiltrating villages. I was bridging cultural gaps, man. I done brought us close LayTheDon: She probably got a good hair. Kevin: together. I done brought us close together. You know what I mean? What what what have y'all done? Say no, me stop, me stop. GoFredo: Somebody brought out of the Kevin: Somebody question, remember? I d I man, I'm making the world I'm making the world GoFredo: What have y'all done about our community? Kevin: a better place, man. I'm bringing this all together. What you doing, man? I might go, I might, I might go, GoFredo: Well, wait till I tell Dr. Umar about what how you get down. Kevin: Well first I might go Indian next just to I might be like Thanos and just start collecting the stones, you know what I mean? Let me stop. GoFredo: Hey boy, my man said you need offer. Kevin: No, let me stop. Let me stop. No, I have a kid. First of all, first of all. The next time I have a kid, I'm gonna be married. I will be married. Having kids within my family. You GoFredo: Respectfully, I feel that. Kevin: know what I'm saying? That's that's that. GoFredo: Hey, hey, hey, hold on, Lei. LayTheDon: So where do I go? You will be married to which one? GoFredo: I gotta real quick. I gotta I gotta I d 'cause we gonna get back to what Lei said, but I I definitely got because you said something that I mean I thought about it, but to a to a more serious note real quick. with a blazing with a blazing daughter, essentially, like I like you said, I know you said it's a little bit different, and and it is, and it is, but like As you go through life and as she get older, having her understand her black side and her black culture to when it comes to when as she gets older. I I've seen your daughter before. She's looks more as of now, she looks more Asian than black. I date that right now. But at the same Kevin: Yes, you do. GoFredo: time, we also know that that may alter as she gets older. Cause her skin tone is still I mean, you light skin though, so it kinda makes sense. LayTheDon: Propolite skin. Kobi: Yeah. GoFredo: Yeah, so it may gotta make sense. I mean you could tell his baby black still. At the same time, but but as as she get older, her understanding her black side and her and and that culture and not kind of shunning that away as she grow up, like you think that'll be hard for you as you, you know, kinda you playing the leading role in that of her having her understand her black culture in this society? Kevin: Yeah. Yeah. So and it it's funny you said that because even like to the way she looks, it's like you can tell she's Asian, but she's got like she's like this curly haired Asian. Like she don't really fit in with you know what I'm saying? She don't really like quite fit GoFredo: Yeah. Kevin: in with there where it's like it and it's like and I this is just like in my experience so far where some of they don't really they don't really fully accept that. So that's the challenge where it's like The the the challenge for me is I don't want her to feel shunned by that side and then feel shunned by the by my side too. You know what I mean? And as far as like my GoFredo: That's tough. Kevin: family, that's not a problem. But you know, I'm the and I speak for on the the rest of the world where like, you know, I've experienced a little bit of that myself. Where like you know what I mean? So everybody's not like that, but a lot of people are like that. So you know, experiencing that. And both of my parents are black. And he had and GoFredo: Yeah. Kevin: I know that's black. And she's coming from this side. I'm like, that's a little different from me. As far as and it and it's funny you even asked because it it's like I can't really say I have an expectation on the type of man that, you know, she would marry or have had a preference with because, you know, she comes from a multi multicultural background. and you know, I I don't I don't know. I mean, I'm I'm sure there's gonna be all different types of men that find her attractive. So I know we'll have to see how that goes. that'd be interesting for me to see. because you know we add la and then this is just like a a hypothetical of course let's just say we add you know we add you know more to the mix and like to your point of asking me, like she decides to pursue you know future with somebody who's white, it'd be interesting. It'd be very interesting to to to see culture. You know what I mean? LayTheDon: The baby will be translucent. She's gonna be so light-skinned. She's be translucent. GoFredo: Yeah. Kevin: Yeah man. LayTheDon: That's gonna be a clear name. Kevin: Yeah, man, I'ma have a grandson named Connor or something like that. LayTheDon: You have a GoFredo: Hey, you're LayTheDon: clear that baby gonna be so light skin so white is gonna be clear baby gonna come out clear. We translucent. Kevin: Yeah. GoFredo: You wanna know what's you wanna know what's so crazy before before we even get to the end of this, because I feel like we all had some good points. what's so crazy is it's I wanna quickly get y'all views on this. I know because and I'm only asking because we was just listening to him, and Dr. Umar has he always push black love and black marrying black and keeping the black culture going. And the own the biz the best way to uplift the black culture is by keeping it all in house. But I would like to hear y'all's views on on just this really quick. in a society that we're in right now, in the climax that we in where mixed race babies seems to be the going rate to where it seems like one race of a quote unquote dominance or one race running things that seems to come in that seems to be coming to an end soon to where like is in our lifetime, I think I I think in our lifetime if I'm not mistaken. I think it's twenty fifty or twenty sixty, God willing we lived that long. But pretty much everybody gonna be mixed mixed breed or everybody's gonna be mixed race. So when it comes to the to the community, I'm gonna kick this to lay first, how do you feel about essentially our culture or I don't say our culture because our culture can kind of be put is is being pushed anyway. But like it's coming to a point where like it it won't just be black anymore. It'll be black and Latino, back in Asian, black and white, black in this. So how do you feel with that being a going direction for our people? LayTheDon: I feel like if everybody was more mixed, everybody would have a better understanding of the other cultures. feel like, because if you have a black, for example, Kevin is an Asian and a black baby. He's going to definitely instill his black culture into her. She's also going to instill her, Asian culture into her. So she's going to learn both and then she'll be able to spread that more and more. I just feel like if everybody's cultures was mixed with everybody, we'd actually embrace just a little bit more. I'm not saying I'm completely for it. But if we were, I feel like it'd be a better understanding. And it might cut down on racism just a little bit if they better understood the other side. GoFredo: I agree with that. I agree with that. What about you, Kobe? Kobi: Is that Walfred? GoFredo: I said what I I I said, what about you, Kobe? Kobi: I need a third of it. I didn't even talk about. But if that is the case and if that were to happen, that'd be very interesting to see. I it would be sad to see the the full the full bred. in house cultures breeding, and it'd be sad for that to go. But like Lay said, it would be it'd be it'd be very interesting for each culture to be mixed with something to see the one side didn't know what this is going on with this culture. And now that they see it because they're mixed now they have a better understanding and maybe the world could be a better place. GoFredo: I agree. I look I a hundred percent agree with you on that one. I ain't gonna lie to you. What about you, Kev? What's your views? Kevin: Yeah, it's like to to that to to those points, at a certain point, what does that do to racism per se? Because if we're just being like, you know, we got like them the and we talking about like them them like baby boomers that got problems with that, right? Yo your grandchildren, your grandchildren, your great grandchildren are now mixed up. Are you still are you still upset are you still hating on other other cultures and that's your and that's your family now you know so I think it's it's it's interesting it's an interesting thought and but you're right though that is actually we are trending towards that so I mean it's interesting to see you would I ideally you would think that there's more of a unity but you know I I think in in the way society has been do I think that they'll there'll be There could be more unity, but I think there'll be another there'll be another way of separation. There'll be another way of separation after that. You know what I mean? Whether it's GoFredo: Obstacle For sure. For sure. Kevin: and more than likely where we are in in America, it'll be more of a class thing. You know what I mean? That's how that's how to be separated. GoFredo: I you wanna be honest with you, I I fully agree with everybody's point. One thing I would say is that I would it would be it would definitely be and I think every race could probably every race with ethnic ethnicity can probably maybe agree on this, but it'd definitely be a sad feeling for it to be not as many black on black kids or that or anything like But that level, I think everybody can agree on that. I think that would be a a sad thing to go, but at the end of the day, I just think that for the for the level of unity of us coming together, I think everybody gotta make a sacrifice for us to be as one. And I think that as many mixed babies as possible, if that can give us bring us closer together as in humanity and society, then I'm all for it. this I know a lot of black people are not gonna be happy with that comment, but at the end of the day, it It is what it is. that's if that's the sacrifice that needs to be made for our kids and grandkids to have a better life than what we have. But we don't have where they don't have to get pulled over by driving black and everything like that. I'm okay with it. I'm willing to to to stand on that heel for the betterment of our kids and grandkids. But I do agree with Kev. I think it's already a separation in class. And I think once it gets to the point where they can't separate with color anymore. That it'll be a class thing. I think it's gonna I think movies and everything tell it what it is. Where it's gonna get a point where they're gonna start putting people which it already is, but I think it's the gap is gonna get a lot more wider and whatnot to the point where we might just start seeing projects getting built up again. But we we'll we'll we'll we'll we'll tuck that roll when we see there. We'll be like in our sixties and fifties at that point. Kobi: That was for the exchange, everybody. That was a good episode.
