• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, stalk you today. For Friday September, Knife goes to
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: the clubhouse at a Queer Harbor. That place is a
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: country club in Stafford, Virginia. UM. Do you know how
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: every year, whether it's Black History Month for June, team
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: some restaurant we know gets in trouble for having a
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: blackety black menu. Like one year it was NYU and Aramark.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: They had the special theme menu which consisted of barbecue
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: ribs and corn bread and Kyla greens and two beverages
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: that the students said had racist connotations. And the two
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: beverages was cool aid and watermelon flavored water. I ain't
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: allow my mouth to start the water and just letting,
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: I'm letting you know right now, the only way that
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: meal would insult me was if the ribs was pork
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: and not beef, and if the Kyler greens was cooked
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: with pork and not turkey. And here's another fun fact, yee,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you can speak to this because you own
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: a juice bar. Watermelon juice is extremely healthy for you,
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: right absolutely. I love it. Yes, it controls your blood pressure,
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: keeps you skinning out. I drated, it's good for hard health.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I help all types of health benefits. But I guess
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: when it's Black History Month of June, team, we got
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to stay clear watermelon, so says Twitter. And remember that
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: school in Massachusetts. I think it was a variant Brothers
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: High School. They got backlash because they served fried chicken
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: during Black History Month. Never mind the fact that an
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: employee at the school who was black chose fried chicken
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: to beat the dish. And never mind the fact that
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: fried chicken created numerous money making opportunities even during slavery
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: because enslaved black people highly valued chickens because many slaveholders
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: allowed them to raise their own chicken. And then after
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: emancipatient African Americans were able to make himself fried chicken
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: on their own terms, and a lot of black people
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: capitalized on the new opportunity available to them. Same with watermelon.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Watermelon used to symbolize black self sufficiency. But y'all let
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: sovereign whites who were jealous of Black folks newfound freedom
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: turn those things into racist tropes through cinema like Birth
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: of a Nation and other propaganda. Okay, but that's not
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: what we're here to discuss. That's a story for another day.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I'm just here to tell you that my brothers and assistance.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: Some people in this country are equal opportunity offenders. Okay,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: because the Clubhouse at a Quia Harbor just released they're

  Speaker 1: country probably don't even have an appetite thinking about the
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: loved ones they lost on nine to eleven. Very important
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: to remember, though, that the essence of capitalism is to
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: turn nature into commodities, and commodities in the capital and
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of those commodities are often the bodies are humans.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter if the bodies are alive. Whether it's the
