  Speaker 2: around your They want this man to dogs. They wait
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: for Charlamagne to top.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: Men't to make a judgment of who was going to
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: be on the Donkey of the day.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: They chose you. There's a breakfast club. Bitch you Who's
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: donkey of the day today? Wow? Old donkey today for Tuesday.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: May second goes to the current Lieutenant governor in North Carolina,
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Mark Robinson. He's also running for governor in North Carolina.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark. You know I love the Carolinas. I'm
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Carolina all day, South Carolina, to be exact. So North
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Carolina is our cousins. So it disturbs me when I
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: hear someone from home talking crazy, and Mark Robinson is
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: indeed talking crazy. To see, there's a lot of conversations
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: happening nowadays about reparations. I'm a person who believes that
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: customism never wins any battles.
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: So even though I know.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: This country will never ever pay black people what they owe,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: I speak optimism because we all know one of the
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: greatest sins of this country was the slave trade, and
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: the toonement is needed in the form of reparations. Even
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump acknowledges black people built this country and we're
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: just starting to get the credit for it.
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: Listen, African Americans built this nation, rebuilt this nation.
• 1:17
  Speaker 5: You know you're just starting to get real credit for that.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Okay, I don't know if you know that.
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: That's right, you're just starting to get You built the nation.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: We all built it, but you were such a massive.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: Part of it, bigger.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: Than you were given credit for it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: Does that make sense?
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: It makes all the sense in the world. And don't
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: just stop their credit.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: We'll take credit, cash, bitcoin, ebt, and the credit is great,
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: but until there's some financial compensation, that credit is as
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: worthless as an NFT.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: Now, Mark could make history as the first.
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: Black governor of North Carolina, a state that is almost
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: sixty seven percent white and a little over twenty one
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: percent black. But he's a Republican, so he don't really
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: give a damn about any black votes.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: The Republican Party in North Carolina is eighty nine percent white.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: And I was looking at some stats from October twenty ninth,
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty two, in North Carolina had about seven point
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: four million registered voters, and their partisan affiliation was kind
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: of equally split between three parties Republican, Democrats, unaffiliated. It's
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: thirty four percent Democrat, thirty thirty six percent unaffiliated, thirty
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: percent Republican, about zero point seven percent registered to another
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: party notoriously read state. So Mark probably feels like, I'm Republican.
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: All I need is these white folks. But imagine if
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: you can get majority of the white Republican voters to vote,
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: and you know, play a little identity politics and get
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: some of the black people to vote for you too.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Sounds like a good idea.
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: Well, Mark don't care if you Negroes vote for him,
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: because if he did, he wouldn't be saying things that
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: would turn Negroes off. And one thing that turns black
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: people off is any talk against reparations. But not only
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: is Mark against black people getting reparations. He thinks, we, oh,
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: I can't make this kind of stuff up.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: Let's listen.
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: There's some people that were talking about reparations in this country.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: They wanted reparations.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Nobody owes you anything for slavery. If you want to
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: tell the truth about it, it is you who owns.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: It's you who owns, because somebody in those fields took
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: stripes for you. Somebody after those fields were ended and
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: slavery was ended, somebody had to walk through Jim Crow
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: for you. Somebody fought war was and died for you.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Those folks on the Edmund Pennis Bridge carrying American flags
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: take that calling Kaepernick literally is a society that he
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: could scarcely acknowledge something that he has never known, living
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: with a bigotry that none of us can imagine, carried
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: American flags on that bridge. And when they would hit
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: up side the head with knighte sticks and shot with
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: water hoses and knocked to the ground, they got up
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: and picked those flags up and kept marching. And they
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: did it for you. Nobody owes you anything. If anybody
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: owes it's you.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: Woo. Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, Mark Robinson, Ladies and gentlemen,
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: feels like black people old reparations. That was Riley Freeman
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: from the Boone Docks booing, And I'm glad we used
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: that boo because what the uncle ruckus is going on
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: in North Carolina. Okay, it don't matter if North Carolina
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: is a red or blue state. If Mark Robinson becomes governor,
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: you can guarantee it won't be a black state, all right,
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: all those things he spoke on. You know, the people
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: who fought during civil rights to brothers and sisters, civil
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: rights marchers who went through the hell called Bloody Sunday
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: for us to get a sliver of freedom. They're part
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: of the reason we're Oh okay, Yes, we owe them,
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: but not the way this country owes us. And we
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: repaid him for fighting for what so many of them
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: came to want, and that is reparations. Okay, Mark Robinson
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: telling black people that we owe reparations, it's like when
• 4:36
  Speaker 3: your parents used to tell you they were beaten our
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: ass for our own good. No, okay, you did nothing
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: but cause me trauma, trauma that I ended up unpacking
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: in therapy later. If the nerve of Mark Robinson to
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: say we owe reparations because we benefited from the freedom
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: I got freedom in quotation, Marks okay air quotes all right,
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: you know free ish okay. A new all slave drama
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: brought to you by Kenya Barris coming soon. The BT
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: plus I mean oppression of black people one hundred percent
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: still exist. Right when black people are imprisoned at exceptionally
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: high numbers are more likely to be arrested for nonviolent offenses.
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: I mean, we make our case for our citizenship every day,
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: make our case for our humanity every day. There is
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: still a system of white supremacy in place that causes
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: us to make cases for our survival every day. I mean,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: when you are still being denied opportunities because of the
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: color of your skin, it's kind of hard to tell
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: me that I owe all right, That's why getting sex
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: from a hooker, she gives me an STD and then
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: you know, ask for gratuity for the gonerhea.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: Okay.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Mark Robinson said we should be paying because there were
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: people that fought for us.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: And took beatings and you know, got holes down and.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: Lost their lives for us to be free those people
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: with majority black He couldn't be talking about white people,
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: could he. I mean, there were definitely white people out
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: there marching with black folks during the Civil Rights movement,
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: but they were marching with us to free us from
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: the oppression of white supremacy.
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: Keyword white.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Okay, Mark really said black people owe reparations. We owe Okay,
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: the white people should get paid for what their own
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: people did.
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: Huh.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Look, in basketball, there's no such thing as the same
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: team foul that I know of. Okay, last time I
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: checked with Steph Cary Fowls, Klay Thompson. Lebron doesn't get
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: to shoot free throw? So why do we owe for
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: what people did to us and caused on themselves. This
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: is what happens when you speak to management and your
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: people are indeed the management. Please let with me, Ma,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: give Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson the biggest he hull he.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: Ha he ha, You stupid motherfuck? Are you dumb? All right?
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: Clearly sounds like an articulate hersher Walker? Good God, Keith Avers,
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: y'all can't Keith Aving? That is just beyond control. And
• 6:40
  Speaker 4: don't be messing with reparations because I'm getting two checks
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: and one of my man names and one of my women.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: Do not mess with reparations. Man, don't be messing with
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: my checks.
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's so interesting that you mentioned Kenya Barris. I
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: met him at the red copy of you People when
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: he did you people. So let me tell you what's
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: so strange. Because being an older trans person, I'm not
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: on the defense. Because I've been in my life, I
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: know people will just see you. So when my publicist
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: went up to him and said flame would like to
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: take a picture with you. He looked, because I was
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: about as far as Charlemagne is from me now, and
• 7:10
  Speaker 4: he looked, but the look on his face was maybe
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: he didn't understand, or he wasn't sure. And she says, well,
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: Netflix invited Flame to come to Parth, so it gave
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: him a pass, and so he brought me over, so
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: I could have taken that one way, and like, oh,
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: he was on the defense. But I said, he said,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: did you enjoy the movie? I said, oh, I thought
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: the movie was great. I said you could have called
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: the movie Frankenstein because he said, huh. I said, because
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: what Frankenstein's moral was. Frankenstein was never the monster. He
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: created the monster. You showed us that America has created
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: this monster for racism and hate from all aspects of life.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: And I love that you tournament. He said, that is
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: a great analogy.
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: In those two minutes of talking to him, he went
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: from looking at me like he didn't understand until he
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: put his arm around me and he embraced me in
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: the body language said it always that I taught.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Oh, it was pretty darmp. It was pretty great.
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: So Mark Robinson wants us to he wants us to
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: pay for a monster America.
