0:02

All media.

0:05

You know, sometimes you just wake

0:08

up and choose violence. There

0:10

are so many sayings that have

0:12

because of the Internet and.

0:14

Specifically black Twitter, which

0:16

will be.

0:19

The content

0:21

of the episode

0:23

following this one. But wake

0:25

it up and choose violence again as a as a black

0:27

saying that you know where

0:30

we say what we mean most of

0:32

the time, we choose peace.

0:34

To stay on point and again

0:37

follow follow, follow the way

0:39

that our slang works. This is very important because it's

0:41

all connected. You stay woke. I

0:43

know, y'at installed the term. But what

0:45

we mean by that is aware of

0:48

the ways that you are being oppressed,

0:50

Like don't fall asleep at the wheel the way the white people

0:52

say, just let somebody else steer the ship. Like you

0:54

got to stay awake. You got to know what's

0:57

happening around you. Stay aware, stay

0:59

informed, and you stay on point. You be about

1:01

your paper, you be about your business. You understand.

1:03

So a lot of the stuff we talk about is we

1:05

mean to be like yo, you stay on mission, like you

1:07

don't let nobody shake you off mission.

1:10

Don't let these people's foolishness

1:12

detract you from the goal, from the mission,

1:14

from the elevation. You do stuff for the

1:16

culture, for the family you know, and you choose

1:19

peace.

1:20

You choose that.

1:21

But sometimes, as Kendrick say,

1:23

you got to pop out and show niggas these

1:25

sayings, these ways we have as

1:28

a black community, they're

1:30

all connected. We understand them all because

1:32

they all come from the same cultural

1:35

experience. So all of our phrases,

1:37

they're connected, but they're connected by the

1:39

connected tissue of our shared experience

1:42

of our culture. I hope this is making sense to you.

1:44

These are things that you just I don't if

1:47

you were like us again, like Kendrick

1:49

said, I would not have to explain these

1:51

things because you would just know. And it's not This

1:53

isn't a slight, this is just a reality.

1:56

There are ways. Again, this is going to be this part

1:58

of it.

1:59

I should probably say for again

2:01

the next week about black Twitter. But it's

2:03

for context for you to understand that, like listen,

2:06

we are. The way we communicate in a lot

2:08

of ways is we can be deeply

2:11

serious about very unserious things

2:13

and be dead serious

2:15

about really unseerious stuff

2:18

and never lose sight as to

2:20

which is what and how they're

2:22

both happening at the same time, and

2:25

we truly understand which is which

2:27

and nobody's confused.

2:28

But if you aren't confused, we understand.

2:30

I tweeted this once and one

2:32

of the homegirls was like, man, my

2:35

sister's daughter's hamster died. And MY

2:37

response was like, oh, man, who did the

2:39

body? I

2:43

don't have time to explain to you why that is so funny,

2:45

but everybody black would get it.

2:47

Now.

2:48

The reason I do this preamble

2:51

is because I want to do a

2:53

couple episodes around Juneteenth,

2:56

you know, which is at this point coming

2:58

up about blackness. I

3:00

think that especially

3:02

with the celebration of Juneteenth. I think that, like,

3:04

I can't believe I haven't done a full episode on what Juneteenth

3:07

is already anyway. I guess

3:09

partially because realizing like I needed

3:11

to know who my audience was, and it was

3:14

just.

3:14

Like there's a lot of not black people listening.

3:16

So I was like, Oh, we need to make sure that y'all

3:18

y'all really know what's you know.

3:20

I gotta got there's some things I gotta say to you, you

3:22

know.

3:22

I mean sometimes I explain stuff that's black

3:24

just out of solidarity with other black people, where I'm

3:26

just like, dude, like this is crazy, right, It's so fun

3:29

Other times, I'm like realizing that, like, oh

3:31

you you don't know this about our culture. Okay,

3:33

so let me let me lay it out for you. So this

3:35

is me laying it out and also celebrating

3:38

It's both blackness. But

3:40

there's something special about twenty twenty four

3:43

that for some reason we

3:45

have decided as a culture

3:47

and a community that we just have time this year.

3:50

What do I mean by that? Oh, we got

3:52

time this year? Like again, usually

3:54

you don't wake up and choose violence. You got to be on your

3:56

mission and you ain't got time for no foolishness.

3:58

A time to be messy. Messiness is for

4:00

the weekend, like we you know, we'll do that later.

4:03

Like if you just gonna be messy with us right now,

4:06

I got stuff to do

4:07

on time for your foolishness.

4:10

This year, however, for some reason, we

4:13

all decided that we got time, and

4:15

that has manifested

4:18

itself in ways for which

4:20

we have duckt with things in

4:22

house.

4:23

There were things we needed to talk about amongst

4:25

ourselves, and then there was some foolishness

4:27

that we were just done dealing with.

4:29

Now. My theory is there might

4:31

be something to the fact that I think as

4:33

black Americans. We just understand

4:35

the reality of our two presidential

4:38

options and prepping ourselves for the four

4:40

years we about to experience.

4:41

And there was foolishness that we stood for early

4:44

on.

4:44

Then we ain't realize the depth for which

4:47

the Caucasidy was gonna show itself.

4:49

I think we was a little unprepared for that.

4:50

Unprepared in the sense that we thought that y'all

4:53

had some sense there might have been the

4:55

semblance of progress. Maybe

4:57

we was, maybe things were not

5:00

like they used to be. Maybe there

5:02

was, and then the white lash happened. We was like,

5:05

oh, oh, it's

5:07

what we knew. We were hoping it was something else, but

5:10

noah, it's what we knew. And it just seems

5:12

like this year we decided, you know what, we got

5:14

time, We're gonna deal with this.

5:16

We said what we said, you're gonna

5:18

get this work.

5:19

So today, at the six month

5:21

mark of the year, I think it's time to reflect

5:23

on and look forward to how

5:25

black people have decided in twenty

5:28

twenty four. We got time politics,

5:30

y'all. Now,

5:42

before we get into this, let me hit y'all

5:46

with the weekly roundup of Well

5:48

see, it's.

5:48

Kind of like this bull

5:51

look is like this.

5:55

Bullook is like this all

5:57

right, So it's like this, you

6:01

know, the Hunter Biden

6:03

case jumps off and

6:07

I shouldn't be smiling because

6:09

the testimony went out and essentially.

6:14

Hunter just ratchet like he.

6:18

Was sad

6:20

about his brother, and

6:22

the niggas started to do a crack like

6:25

it's not funny. Okay,

6:28

the man got himself a gun,

6:30

got yourself a gun and

6:34

had it for eleven days.

6:35

Till his girl threw it out. Apparently it was never

6:37

loaded.

6:38

And he, according

6:41

to this case, lied

6:43

about being on drugs and illegally got

6:45

a gun. Now, according

6:48

to the defense, he had a

6:50

signed paper that he had gone through rehab

6:53

and he was supposedly sober at the time,

6:55

right that, and then

6:58

you know, relapsed after.

7:00

But either way, dog

7:03

y'all, they done dragged.

7:05

They brought his ex girl out, his

7:07

brother's girl out, his kids out, being

7:09

like, nah, homie brother had

7:12

problems, and they

7:14

was like, look, you said it in your own book,

7:16

you had problems. You

7:19

gotta you gotta, you gotta run this fade

7:21

big dog now poem,

7:27

it's not funny. And I don't feel

7:29

bad for nobody rich kid, but like

7:31

I do feel bad in the sense that.

7:33

He like, damn, I don't

7:36

I done mess this up with my daddy?

7:40

Like guys, okay, okay.

7:44

Now, normally in cases

7:47

like this, people bring up

7:49

the gun charge as

7:52

far as like you illegally attained

7:54

a gun when

7:56

that gun was involved in some

7:58

other crime, like if that gun

8:01

had a body on it, if that gun was

8:03

involved in some sort of robbery

8:06

or something, if some sort of crime was admitted on the

8:08

gun. So usually just add this thing

8:11

to you add this type

8:14

of charge to the dockative

8:16

charges that are already there, to just kind of like

8:19

you know, up the anti ad decassage

8:21

to the tacos. Usually this type of charge

8:23

ain't the thing. But usually were not talking

8:25

about the president's son, you feel

8:27

me? And not only that, we

8:29

talking about the president the current president's

8:31

son brought with

8:34

a federal case.

8:36

You know, said when his daddy

8:39

in charge? You feel me?

8:41

So it's a lot going on right here.

8:43

This, I mean, you could read this however

8:46

you want.

8:46

This could be a sacrificial like this

8:48

could be like a sacrificial.

8:50

Lamb, like I gotta throw my son to the wolves.

8:52

This could be you know, because

8:55

in any other case, like

8:57

you look at Trump, Trump at a way of like getting

8:59

a he either get the stuff thrown

9:01

out or or

9:04

get the joint delayed till February thirtieth.

9:07

You feel me like he figured out how to get out of

9:09

all this stuff, and

9:12

it just kind of it just kind of to me seemed

9:15

like Biden

9:18

is your run of them or Hunter

9:21

Biden, your run of this, your run of the mill

9:24

rich kids, you

9:26

know who ain't

9:29

figure out how to hit the lick as good as the other

9:31

rich kids because the trumping them kids,

9:34

they didn't figure out how to use they richness.

9:38

He just keep messing up.

9:40

And in his defense

9:42

it might be honestly because when he lost

9:45

his brother, he just.

9:46

Lost his mind. I don't know

9:50

next.

9:51

Look like Israel got faux hostages. They

9:53

got faux hostages back, that's beautiful. Were

9:55

glad that y'all home.

9:58

And shot two

10:00

hundred and seventy people on the way out. We're

10:03

like, come on, fail got

10:07

dog man? What

10:10

do you? Oh?

10:15

I don't even know how to just you

10:19

had your you

10:21

had your hostages, dude, like just

10:24

you had him like you they're home

10:29

once you shooting for never

10:32

mind?

10:34

And lastly, old Biden, you

10:36

know, one of the first episodes I've done

10:38

on the iHeart was called Joe Biden from Long Beach,

10:40

which got me in a little bit in trouble with some actual

10:43

like gang members because

10:45

they was like you saying here crip and I'm like, I

10:48

could see how you would say that, because

10:50

most Long Beach, if you black

10:54

cripping. What I'm saying is

10:58

he is no different than

11:00

Trump, just saying

11:02

it nicer. And

11:04

what you find out about a lot.

11:05

Of like

11:10

like take like a Vince Staples, like

11:13

there's no question about his certification,

11:16

Take a Snoop Dazz.

11:20

These are some of the like they're the most likable

11:22

dudes. They're just

11:25

super likable, intelligent,

11:27

fun loving guys that are murderers,

11:29

like you can't like there's no question

11:32

about the gang banging in like

11:34

they're not safe men, they're

11:36

just.

11:38

Chilling, like you know.

11:40

So what I'm saying is like,

11:43

don't don't let the fact that

11:46

they chilling fool you, like you

11:48

know. So what Joe is doing

11:51

at the border with

11:53

his new immigration policy is

11:56

the weirdest. It's

11:58

there's there is no

12:00

difference in his new policy. Then

12:04

what Trump would say, the only difference is

12:06

he not calling him vermit but

12:10

the policy is, Hey,

12:14

we're gonna stop accepting any asylum

12:17

seekers and we're gonna send y'all back within the

12:19

next four days because we

12:21

got too many of you.

12:22

Y'all gotta stay out of here. We

12:26

don't know what to do with you.

12:28

You gotta go like we're not accepted. No more

12:30

asylums. What that's

12:34

what Trump says.

12:35

No, it's different, niggas the same anyway,

12:37

we'll unpack that much later.

12:39

Now let's get to this story blackness,

13:03

all right.

13:04

Like I said, this is a reflection

13:07

on the past six months where

13:09

we are the state of the blackness

13:12

address, if you will, and just

13:14

with the Queen, Congresswoman

13:18

Jasmine Crockett with her dropping

13:21

to call this alliteration just cooking Marjorie

13:23

Taylor, green, bleach, blonde, bad

13:25

built, butch body, just which

13:29

I.

13:30

Can't even say without laughing.

13:31

First of all, it's the perfect example of us

13:33

being unserious and serious at the same

13:35

time. That's that moment

13:38

which we will build to by the end of this episode.

13:40

Is exactly what I mean.

13:42

Her display of

13:44

the sophistication, the sophistic

13:46

ratchetness of what it means to be a

13:48

black professional and why

13:51

I will say and.

13:54

Shout on the rooftop that our

13:57

double consciousness, bi cultural

14:00

understanding of what it means

14:02

to be professional, how we can

14:04

speak the king's tongue, how to play respectability

14:07

politics, and how to not be one to

14:09

be played with because we are from where we're from

14:11

and we said what we said. How that is displayed

14:14

in this one clip is again

14:18

my foundational premise, which

14:20

is we are more equipped than

14:23

anyone else in this world to do the jobs that

14:25

we do.

14:26

Because this was perfect. It

14:28

was again black people showing you, Oh we

14:30

got time.

14:31

I'm done with all this. I got time today. So

14:33

it's going to culminate with that. But what I want to

14:35

start rewind the clock back to

14:38

a couple moments in this year that

14:41

has just made me realize, like,

14:43

yeah, we just decided this year that we

14:45

got time. So let's start first

14:48

with how the year started Club Shay

14:50

Shay and Kat Williams. Okay, the

14:52

year kicked off with a bang with this interview

14:54

from comedian Kat Williams, who just now

14:56

released aid Netflix comedy

14:59

special which I'm gonna lie to you kind

15:01

of mid wasn't as funny as I was hoping it

15:03

would be. That being said this interview

15:05

was one of the funniest things I've ever heard ever in my

15:07

life because Kat decided he was gonna

15:10

spill all the tea. To understand why

15:12

this is so important is you

15:14

kind of have to understand who Shannon Sharp is and

15:16

what he represents to us as a culture.

15:18

Now.

15:19

Shannon Sharp former NFL player,

15:21

then he was a sports NFL

15:23

commentator. He started his his YouTube

15:25

podcast called Club Shasha. He's

15:27

got cognac in it. It's listened

15:30

to us called Sha She. Now,

15:32

black people are very it's a very normal

15:34

like other Latinos will call the cardino,

15:37

a very normal cardino that you would give

15:39

our our children where we just say

15:41

they names twice you cut their names

15:43

Kai Kai Sha she Like, that's a normal

15:46

thing that we do with our children. It's just it's

15:48

a it's a term of en bearing again a

15:50

kadino, like if you speak Spanish like there's

15:52

no the translation is not direct.

15:55

But you know what I mean when I say it's a cardigno. Right,

15:57

So, and y'all, you know, white people should make fun

15:59

of it with like booboo like okay, but y'all

16:01

don't understand like booboo like calling our kids

16:04

stuff like that. First of all, boobo is is doodoo

16:07

like it's but it's also a

16:09

pet now is anyway, It's complicated,

16:11

so Saysha is already a throwback

16:13

to just very just blackness.

16:16

Shannon's sharp in the

16:18

way that he enunciates,

16:21

the way that he articulates his facial

16:23

expressions, the

16:25

points he makes, even the depth

16:27

of knowledge that he has about things.

16:29

But yet it's said in such

16:32

a country manner, is

16:35

he's collectively our uncle because

16:37

it's so authentic. He's actually

16:40

very well informed, very

16:43

curious, knows what he's doing, super

16:45

professional.

16:46

But he never lost.

16:47

And I don't know him well enough to know, but everybody

16:50

else that knows him says, no, that's real.

16:51

That's really him.

16:52

The you know him with him would have black and mild

16:55

and some and some crown royal in it

16:57

and you know, slapping spades, playing Domino,

16:59

sipping kangyac like he is. This

17:02

is our uncle, all of it, like everything

17:04

was so so his character, not

17:07

in a derogatory term, but just in

17:10

the person with the persona, the person we're seeing

17:12

on the screen, whether it's authentic to him

17:14

or not, which again I believe it is.

17:16

He is so familiar to us. That's

17:19

unk.

17:20

He unk, like you know what I'm saying, Like unk

17:22

is obviously short for uncle, which is

17:24

just again it's a it's a term of respect

17:27

we give to older

17:29

Black men who aren't necessarily our fathers,

17:32

right or not, like the in between,

17:34

like a big homie or a big cousin, you know what I'm saying,

17:36

Like a big homy a lot of times is a little closer to your

17:38

age.

17:39

But like your unk, like he a little older,

17:41

you know what I'm saying.

17:41

Like you know, a few years ago, it would be like the

17:44

dude with the you know, with the bluetooth with the with

17:46

the funny looking bluetooth in his ear, like he just

17:48

oh heay, what's up, Chuck? Like the Spice Adams

17:50

character. Like now that person has gotten

17:52

a little older, a little more older, like

17:54

our ucks now are again more like

17:57

Shannon Sharp. They little more style, They got a little they

17:59

don't dress like seven, you feel me, like they dress

18:01

the way he dressed. He a little younger, He still

18:03

be outside, he still be courtside, you know what I'm saying.

18:05

But like y'all seeing them clips where he looked

18:07

back at homeboy, that really wanted to, wanted to smoke

18:09

with him, where he like, I'm still willing to I'll

18:12

dance with you, young boys.

18:13

I'm still willing to get down. Like my knees

18:15

are still okay.

18:16

You know the old heads, like the Spice

18:19

Adams characters, they needs don't they needs

18:21

ain't working, you know, you spraying

18:23

the juke on.

18:25

These boys are still in the club a little

18:27

older than us. So that's Unk.

18:28

You feel me right that the girls they bringing

18:30

around probably got it,

18:33

got grown children, you all saying,

18:35

and maybe like a one or two year old

18:37

grand baby, but mama still Grandma's

18:40

still bad. She's still kind of young. You know, she's still

18:42

bad. She's still out party. That's who Unk bring

18:44

around. Like, so he already

18:46

that to us. And then you add in Kat

18:49

Williams. Now Kat Williams a

18:51

legendary black comic, but he little

18:54

odd. He always has been a little odd. He

18:56

decided to absolutely

18:59

of visc a rate every

19:01

other black comic short of a

19:03

fuel. And he was like, you gonna not disrespect

19:06

Bernie Max's name. You gonna not disrespect

19:09

D. L. Hugeley's name, because he like

19:11

they put in the work. But he's like, I

19:13

want all the smoke. I ain't got no respect for no

19:15

Steve Harvey, for no, said the entertainer. I'm

19:18

saying that Kevin Hart's to industry plan, like

19:20

he just lit everybody up. And then he

19:23

talked about Faison Love, which was gave

19:25

us the quote of what I thought was gonna

19:27

be the quote of the year where he said, nobody

19:29

knew that you know a minor was

19:32

coming yet. But at the time when

19:34

he said you have a strange alliance

19:37

with losers and that is

19:39

not like you, he was talking about

19:41

the fact that like Faison, who played

19:43

Big Worm and Friday, has

19:45

never had no specials and just never that

19:47

he's because he's His point is, demand's not that funny.

19:50

This happened and he was making all

19:52

these kind of like wild, outlandish

19:54

claims, and then video

19:57

started surfacing where he was

19:59

basically saying and said, been stealing

20:01

jokes this whole time. He stole the whole show from

20:03

Mark Curry, who we all loved, from a show called

20:05

Hang Him On, Mister Cooper, And then all

20:08

these clips of Sandy

20:11

Entertainer actually ripping off

20:14

jokes, and it was like wow,

20:16

like wait a minute, none

20:18

of us ever thought of that, and then he's making claims about

20:20

him being able to run like a four point four

20:23

forty yard dash, and then the video come out

20:25

like that man really running that fast

20:28

and it was like nobody like

20:31

just he wanted all.

20:32

He came in hot and up.

20:35

Couldn't keep up with him. So it set

20:37

the tone for the entire year.

20:39

And sometimes like people say, like people have been

20:41

saying this all like again in the black spaces,

20:44

like yo, we blaming this whole year on Cat Williams.

20:46

Cat Williams was like, I'm spilling all

20:48

the tea. I'm ready to be messy. Kat

20:51

decided he had time and he's

20:53

out, and I will argue this. He

20:55

definitely set the tone for the rest of the year.

20:58

Now, I can't blame everything else him,

21:00

but I tell you what, that was prophetic.

21:02

We should have known this year black

21:05

people have decided we got time

21:07

and we're gonna deal with our own here. There

21:09

needed to be a reckoning with that. Now,

21:11

what he said about Kevin Hart, I don't know. I

21:14

don't know that part of the industry, but I do

21:16

know that we was like, yo,

21:19

this is a much better way of starting this year

21:21

than we expected to or you

21:24

know, because we're like, look a potential

21:26

for January sixth, Part two, an

21:28

electric Boogooroo January sixth.

21:31

The potential is here.

21:32

So we was already on edge,

21:34

and I think that that might be a part of why we

21:36

was like, all right, look, no, we're not playing around.

21:39

So Kat Williams set us off. The

21:41

next thing was Sean p Diddy,

21:43

Puffy Combs, my gog.

21:46

Next,

22:14

all right, we're back.

22:15

Let me back up a second to the me Too movement.

22:18

Now, remember, first of all, me

22:20

too movement black woman

22:23

who first coined the phrase. Just

22:25

to make sure, let's remember that, because

22:28

again blackness. The

22:32

discussion among my

22:34

world was the fact that

22:37

me too hadn't touched hip hop

22:39

yet, and when it does,

22:42

my lord. That was you

22:45

know, around the time that yeah, like me

22:47

Too first kicked out, kicked off with the you

22:49

know, Harvey Weinstein and came

22:52

with everybody that you know, dropped off,

22:54

the Matt Lowers of the world, all this stuff that was

22:56

about powerful white dudes in corporate

22:58

situations, you know, Bill Cosby, of

23:01

course, R Kelly, of course. But those

23:03

were ones that like, yeah, we kind of already

23:05

knew that's blackness, but I hadn't

23:08

Hitten hip hop. Yet one could argue that like

23:10

R Kelly, but R Kelly as an R and B singer

23:13

that's not specifically hip

23:15

hop influence is not hip hop okay. But

23:18

because of the way that misogyny has

23:20

played such a huge role in rap music

23:23

and the history of how

23:26

black women have bore

23:30

the brunt of the

23:34

emotional and spiritual

23:37

heavy lifting within the

23:39

black community, have been

23:41

the first to protect black

23:43

men, most of the time to their

23:46

own detriment.

23:48

Don't.

23:48

I try not to get into the battle of the sexes,

23:51

but it's just that's just a reality. This

23:53

isn't to drag black men. Listen, that's

23:55

not what I'm saying. I'm talking specifically about

23:57

the experience of black women, whether we're

23:59

look in that Megan thee Stallion situation, which

24:03

the reality is, the more that we understand

24:05

about kind of what happened, she

24:08

she lied, of course out front, but she lied

24:11

to protect toy as

24:13

in Tory lanees because

24:16

she knows, like all

24:18

black women in Memoriam, that if you

24:20

turn black men over to them white

24:23

people, they not gonna show them no mercy. And

24:25

Megan from the streets, so like you know,

24:27

you just don't You don't snitch on the homies.

24:29

You deal with it in house.

24:31

Right, this point I'm making as

24:33

far as like the historical

24:35

precedents and trauma of saying,

24:38

if we pop off about about

24:41

these black men, they're gonna lynch him. They're gonna

24:43

deal with this in a way that's gonna cause more

24:45

damage to our community. So a

24:47

lot of times black women in

24:51

hopes to protect our children, to

24:53

protect our community, and even to protect

24:55

them is like.

24:57

They they take on. They take

24:59

on a lot of the suffering. Also, we

25:01

get so beat up as black men when we

25:03

go outside by this dominant white

25:05

culture, this white supremacist culture. We get beat

25:07

up.

25:07

By the time we go home, we ain't got nothing left

25:10

and who's nursing us to health? And a

25:12

lot of times taking the brunt of us

25:14

not being able to express ourselves

25:17

fully when we outside, Like we

25:19

we I'm saying we because I'm talking

25:21

about black men, we take it out on our ladies, super

25:24

you know, fraudulent, coming at them sideways,

25:27

finding our our manliness,

25:29

our masculinity, in our violence, and

25:32

in our sexual prowess. Like this is just

25:34

this is just historical Black experience. This is kind

25:36

of just what it's been like this is one of our maladies.

25:39

Now, of course I'm speaking in

25:41

a type of generality, but understand

25:43

that like these are some of the

25:46

pieces of trauma and PTSD

25:48

that kind of sits in our bones and sits in our community.

25:51

That being said, when we make our

25:53

music, there is an understanding

25:56

a lot of times that, look, we just out here that the

25:58

music is the escapes. Sometimes it's

26:00

the expression of what we're going through, and

26:03

other times it's the escape or the hope

26:05

of what we wish we were going through. Like

26:07

when you take like the old school early

26:11

hip hop rappers that were like Shaddy cooped

26:13

the Vial back then, they back cooped

26:15

the Vial.

26:15

It's like, you don't these brothers lived in the projects,

26:18

they didn't have they were driving O Coop

26:20

the Vill's nigga. They was on the bus.

26:22

The gold chains and all that stuff like this

26:24

is us finding ways to find

26:26

value. We understood in

26:29

that sense that like, yo, black men was a

26:31

part of this. Now black women

26:33

expressing their sexuality and there

26:36

they're expressing themselves, whether it's twerking

26:39

or the booty shaking and stuff like that.

26:41

Like back down South they used to call it pussy

26:43

popping. That was just the name.

26:44

That was just what it was called, right, you know, And then

26:46

he turned into the term twerk.

26:49

But like black women expressing themselves, you

26:51

know, whether it's salt and pepper being like very sexualized

26:53

for jj FAD, like they expressed

26:55

themselves just like everybody else does. And that was

26:58

again an understanding

27:00

in hip hop. But then we started then

27:02

it got weird because there was still a type

27:04

of misogyny in the

27:07

concept of hip hop. Bitches ain't

27:09

shit but hose and tricks, right, like

27:12

not saying suck that deck, it ain't no

27:14

fun if the hummies

27:16

came, have none and girls

27:18

singing along Now granted with an understanding

27:20

that like you bet, and I wish Nigga would say that to

27:22

me, like you bet not actually ever say that to me? Yeah,

27:25

like the fact that like Rhap City just put an album

27:27

out and she's like, look, let me tell you

27:29

why I'm not in your top five argument

27:32

it's because I don't have a dick.

27:33

We make weird like everybody else.

27:35

There are other there seventy cents to

27:37

the dollar in hip hop, like women

27:40

who are rapping, like why is why

27:42

isn't Latifa Lil

27:44

Kim, Foxy Brown MC

27:47

light. Why are they not in the arguments

27:50

for Mount Rushmore's. You know, people talking about Nikki

27:52

now Nikki owe her career to Little Kim,

27:54

Like, let's be real, there would be no Megans,

27:56

there would be none of that. It would be no Cardi B's

27:59

if it wasn't for somebody like a Little Kim. And

28:01

then you take RHP City.

28:02

Who for me?

28:03

I'm like, oh, I don't know nobody

28:05

rapping like rhap City right now? Like, there's

28:08

again she The argument is she

28:10

is right, she should be in the top five.

28:13

We still have a problem with massogy, We still

28:15

have a problem with patriarchy.

28:16

We still don't understand this.

28:17

That being said, it was understood

28:20

and kind of like nobody's saying the quiet thing

28:22

out loud. I feel like Charlommage and the God may have brought

28:24

this up once that like wait till Me Two

28:26

hits the hip hop community. It's because

28:28

the music industry, specifically in hip hop,

28:31

it's some weird, weird stuff

28:33

that goes on, and a lot of it has

28:35

to do with in my

28:38

mind power. Before

28:41

I get to that, there was an

28:43

interview with IRV Gotti or

28:46

No with Ashanti about IRV

28:48

Gotti, you know over at Murder Inc. And some of

28:50

this just horrible things he would

28:52

say to her, like I made every nigga in the world.

28:54

Won't a fuck you mind? I made you not even.

28:57

That cute, like just trash, just

28:59

just things you would never say to a person, like unless

29:01

you're a pimp. And then some of these niggas since they

29:03

were kingmakers, just like Harvey Weinstein and

29:05

them, like they were untouchable. You

29:08

couldn't there was nothing you could say because

29:10

if they blacklisted you, you was

29:12

done. But finally somebody spoke of and

29:14

it was Cassie p Ditty's girl, who

29:16

was first of all, twenty

29:19

years younger than him. So there's that right. But

29:21

that being said, Cassie brought the indictment.

29:24

But in the indictment, it brought

29:28

a cascade of so many

29:30

other things to the point to which Diddy's

29:33

house was raided. Now this happened

29:35

again at because black people decided

29:37

we had time today. This happened at

29:39

the same time that Beyonce

29:42

dropped the Country out and we was like listen,

29:44

country black too, I'm tired of letting

29:46

you yell because we got tired this year.

29:49

I'm tired of letting y'all think that this your

29:51

music. No, no, no, no, no, that's

29:54

black too. Beyonce said, I'm reclaiming

29:56

my time for all of us country

29:59

music.

29:59

Black do your homework. I got

30:01

time.

30:02

I'm making an album and I'm proven

30:04

to y'all that's not your music.

30:07

And look, Higo, one hundred other black country

30:09

artists for you to check out who been

30:11

putting in work.

30:12

I'm here for them.

30:14

This is all happening while we realizing

30:16

what's going on with p Diddy, that that man

30:19

was whooping her tail. And what

30:21

was so interesting about that is, like Diddy, he

30:24

was the worst kept secret. Everybody knew this,

30:26

you just don't say nothing about it. Black people decided

30:29

they had time this year.

30:30

I don't know.

30:30

Somewhere in the spirit, like we

30:33

heard the spirit talking, Ezekio saw the wheel

30:35

my nigga man, that is a black church

30:37

reference. What was the church reference? But like Ekiyo,

30:39

Ezekio.

30:40

Saw the whel way up

30:42

in the middle of the air. Ezekielo saw

30:45

the whel way in the middle of

30:47

the air.

30:48

If you know, you know now in

30:50

this moment, it was not

30:52

only what he was doing

30:54

to her, but what was happening

30:57

in his relationship to other

30:59

young rappers, whether it was Meek Mill

31:02

Usher. So now the rumors started

31:05

started just going all over the place where

31:07

Diddy was either making them commit sexual

31:09

acts or they were

31:12

like for him to watch, or he

31:15

was actually doing it to them. It was

31:17

understood that Diddy got cameras all over his house.

31:19

And the understanding is he got cameras all over his

31:21

house. Be so that nobody talks

31:24

because I got you on camera. Now I'm telling you this story

31:26

firsthand from one of my homies. I was there, so

31:29

firsthand from his story. You'd be at one of his

31:31

parties, somebody tap you on the shoulder and it's

31:33

like, hey, it's probably you might want to go ahead and

31:35

leave now. And as you seeing who coming

31:37

in, that's your clue, like, yeah,

31:40

we should probably bounce on me like this

31:42

stuff and like thank God for that food.

31:44

That's like, look, it's time for you to go because

31:47

things got real hectic after that. Now

31:49

inside of that indictment is that,

31:51

I mean there's photos of like you

31:53

know, being like making young men force

31:56

their penetration on other men, like all kinds

31:58

of stuff that was happening. It was like Nate was

32:00

like curing itself because again, if

32:02

you were in the music industry, you.

32:03

Knew all this. You knew that these

32:05

were the type of.

32:06

Things that he did, but what we didn't

32:08

know was what he was keeping quiet about

32:10

his girl. Then CNN

32:13

decided to be the shade rule, Like, it's

32:15

so crazy, CNN, I like,

32:17

I couldn't believe this.

32:19

I saw a comedian just talk about this.

32:21

Wait, what's the home girl name? Hold on, y'all,

32:23

Monika Sanders, that's her name. She was

32:25

like, listen, CNN decided

32:27

that y'all don't watch the news anyway, y'all don't

32:30

care about stuff that really that really go on,

32:32

so we might as well show you the TMZ of it all.

32:34

Just let's get messy. She was like, they own some

32:36

nigga shit, which is hilarious because it's

32:38

kind of true. Why is Diddy on

32:41

CNN? And then as

32:43

a bonus for all of us real

32:45

ones, somebody messed

32:47

up and booked Cameron.

32:50

To come talk about this

32:53

thing.

32:53

And apparently y'all forgot about Cameron

32:55

on Bill O'Reilly, but they put her up

32:58

against a black commentator on

33:00

CNN that was like, and

33:02

camera does what he does he

33:05

don't. Oh

33:08

my god, he's the most so hard. Look

33:10

y'all gotta go look at this clip of Cameron On. See

33:12

it there he in Vegas City,

33:14

like you know what I'm saying, like, you know, I don't

33:16

speak on like, I don't really know Diddy, So

33:20

I wasn't even there. I'm talking about, like did

33:22

you? Because the lady was like, yo, is

33:25

this the Diddy you recognize? And He's like, got

33:28

it.

33:28

I ain't zoomed into the photo to see if

33:30

I recognize him this Diddy. I mean, you

33:33

know, I you know, I don't condone none of them

33:35

actions, but all that like other stuff

33:37

like I don't I wasn't there. He ain't doing I

33:39

don't know that stuff. I don't know Diddy

33:41

like that.

33:42

She was like, were

33:45

you was there a reputation around

33:47

the industry about his behavior. He's like, are

33:49

you really hanging with Diddy like that? Then

33:52

he SIPs this Oh

33:55

my god, he SIPs this

33:58

alixir that like in New York that's like

34:00

a thing you go get these like little

34:02

like tincture, little juices

34:05

that you would sip, and he goes, I'm

34:07

sorry, I'm about to get some cheeks later.

34:09

So I gotta, I gotta, I gotta sift this.

34:12

And then he's like, yo, who's the talent

34:14

agent? Why you got me on here? Speaking on Diddy?

34:17

Just in it a disaster.

34:20

But but it's

34:22

so Cameron.

34:24

That's how he be. He

34:27

forget about Bill O'Reilly.

34:28

Oh you mad, Oh you mad, you big

34:30

mad. That's where we got that from, you, mad

34:33

bro. It was Cameron on the

34:35

Bill O'Reilly show. Oh my god,

34:37

just greatness they got because

34:40

let me back up.

34:41

There was footage from.

34:42

A hotel where Diddy

34:45

grossly abuses this young

34:47

lady. She's trying to leave her hotel room. She's

34:50

at the elevator. He follows her

34:52

in a towel, no less, just

34:55

nasty work, grabs her by the head, throws her

34:57

down, kicks her, grabs her back.

34:58

Just horrible, horrible, horrible.

35:01

Horrible, this inexcusable.

35:03

There's time where he sits down, he throws something

35:05

at her. Nasty work, diabolical

35:09

in a towel, just hell

35:11

is your problem? The word is he

35:13

had paid that hotel fifty thousand dollars

35:15

to make sure that that don't go out.

35:17

It got out, CNN got it.

35:18

I don't know how they got it, but they got it and then

35:20

they aired it. It was just funny because

35:22

we were like, I was like, of

35:25

all the people to get this in the air. It CNN,

35:27

y'all supposed to be. I thought,

35:29

y'all was the serious stuff.

35:31

This is we're doing now we shade room now right,

35:33

which is hilarious.

35:35

But the brud needed to be aired out.

35:37

It's been going on too long. Black people decided

35:40

this year we got time now. He

35:42

the next day puts up his apology. That

35:45

was hard because, first

35:48

of all, in his defense, he owned it

35:50

all. There's no excuse. Well, I mean, what could you do. I mean

35:52

you could be like Trump and be like that wasn't me, or

35:54

it was y'all. Don't got the whole picture. You didn't see

35:56

the whole situation. He was like, nah, that's inexcusable.

35:59

There was no Then I was wrong.

36:01

I was the darkest place I've ever been, and

36:04

essentially like, well, of course I tried to cover

36:06

it up because it was dirty work

36:08

and I'm ashamed, and yeah, I didn't want

36:10

it to get out because it would destroy me and it's embarrassing

36:12

and it's wrong and I'm wrong. He said, he's

36:14

gone to therapy since and tried to make

36:16

himself a better person, which you could discuss

36:19

amongst yourselves how you feel about that. Maybe he

36:21

did. I don't know him personally,

36:23

and maybe it was like this was

36:25

a dark moment. I just don't

36:28

know personally how you can get

36:30

to those moments. Aren't

36:32

just isolated like you build to

36:35

that type of violence. It happens. Like

36:37

my mom used to say, it's the little foxes. It's the little

36:39

things. You know, you don't pull them little weeds earlier.

36:41

You don't deal with them little things before they become big

36:43

things, and then little things. Is the commentary

36:46

that I want to talk to y'all about. As

36:49

somebody who understands politics and

36:51

you being from the hood, you know, there's some people,

36:54

and I think this was a prime example of that.

36:57

They get off on power. Now

36:59

him doing a lot of the gay stuff. I'm

37:01

calling it that because I'm trying to speak hood. That's

37:03

not what I mean by it. But follow me has

37:06

converted the term pause to

37:08

no ditty. So if you say something

37:11

like, oh, yeah, man, I was banging that fool hard

37:13

no didty like you're it's

37:15

it's a homophobic phrase.

37:17

Pause is already homophobic.

37:18

It's when you say something that sounds like, you

37:21

know, sexual towards another man.

37:22

You're supposed to be like pause.

37:23

Which is a visual which is a verbal

37:26

representation of what's supposed what was supposed

37:28

to be happening visually. That's where pause kind

37:30

of came from. It's like when you accidentally say like,

37:32

nah, I get it. You know, they want me to cut my

37:35

message in half and give you the six inch, but I'm gonna

37:37

shove the whole foot long down your throat. You're supposed

37:39

to like stop and look at each other with like big eyes, which

37:41

is like pause, Like wait what I just say?

37:43

Did that sound gay? So pause is already

37:46

that.

37:46

So now that's been and I think Mace

37:48

coined it, which is its own funniness

37:51

to be like nah, no ditty. So that's

37:53

the homophobicness that's in our culture already.

37:56

But sit that aside, okay, because it

37:58

sucks that that's the one thing that niggas really got

38:00

mad about was the gayness, not.

38:02

All the other stuff. The gayness.

38:03

But now that the video came out, it's like, all right,

38:06

fellas, like we really got to like this

38:08

some bullshit. And in our defense,

38:11

the general understanding. Of course,

38:13

this isn't the case with everything. If

38:15

you like a real nigga, like I keep saying nigga

38:17

because IM trying to get y'all to understand the way we talk like among

38:20

our neighborhoods. A real man

38:22

don't put their hands on no female stuff

38:24

like that gets you. That gets you packed out, Like

38:26

you don't put your hands on no female,

38:29

like you're not a man. It's just so like

38:31

there are certain things you don't you don't you

38:34

don't touch no kids, and

38:36

you don't hit no female like you just

38:38

we just don't accept that. But the point I'm

38:40

getting to here is niggas

38:43

being like, oh if you just gay, you gay nigga,

38:45

like you just on the gates, like just just you know, all the

38:47

nigga gay. You know what I'm saying, Like why you front, Like, look,

38:49

nigga, you gay?

38:50

You gay?

38:51

It's like, listen, I don't think you understand what's

38:53

going on here. It's power some

38:55

people. And understand this for

38:58

your politics, because if you understand this about

39:00

people and about a person you talk to you, then

39:02

you can.

39:03

Understand they moves and what they doing. You get off

39:05

on power.

39:06

So if you know you hold

39:09

a person's career in your hands

39:12

that you can make or break them,

39:15

then it's just it's almost erotic.

39:18

It's like it's an arousal to

39:21

flex that power because at

39:23

that level of celebrity, you have

39:26

essentially had sex with every

39:28

prom queen in every city.

39:30

You've had sex with every beauty

39:33

pageant winner across the

39:36

world. You've there is no

39:38

there is no box you haven't visited.

39:41

So it's like a beautiful woman just doesn't

39:43

do it for you no more. Like it's

39:45

the law of diminishing returns a lot of times with these

39:47

people like it don't do it, Like there's what's the

39:49

drive? The drive was to be famous. I'm already famous,

39:51

okay. The drive was to bag the baddest

39:53

chick. I've bagged the baddest chick and everything.

39:55

What else is there? What else to be? Is it money?

39:57

I'll never be able to spend the amount of money

40:00

that I have now, I'll never be able to do it.

40:01

Stuff don't get you off no more.

40:03

And what gets him off is power is

40:05

telling a young man who produced an amazing

40:07

track that like, I'm not gonna put it out unless you

40:09

suck my homeboys, Dick and I just want to watch

40:11

it happen because I get off not on not

40:14

on the homo eroticism, but on

40:16

the power. Dudes get off on power,

40:18

on the fact that I can say what I want to say

40:20

to you and you're not gonna do nothing because you know

40:22

I'm a shot caller.

40:23

You know I'll run the business. You know, So that

40:26

turns them on.

40:26

Because like, how why would you put your

40:28

hands on somebody you love, especially especially

40:31

if you're a strong man on a young female.

40:33

Why would you date somebody that much younger than you?

40:36

It's power?

40:37

Power to why else? Because that's

40:39

what turns That's what he enjoys. I'm

40:41

not saying he did he because I don't

40:44

know him, but I'm saying this is the type of behavior

40:46

that that displays when people what

40:48

they love is not the job.

40:50

It's not that. What they get off on is power.

40:53

And when you understand people like that, what

40:55

makes them, what drives them crazy is when

40:57

they lose power, is when they can't

40:59

con troll the situation.

41:01

When you become.

41:02

Ungovernable, they could be mad all they

41:04

won't like Listen, if I'm in a room, I

41:06

write a dope hug for somebody and he say,

41:08

hey, we're not gonna do this. You know what I'm saying, unless

41:11

you diddle this dude's booty. I'm gonna unplug

41:13

my laptop and leave. And it's fine, it's

41:15

okay if I'm not a start black lists me.

41:17

I don't need this.

41:19

So when you remove

41:22

their oxygen tank of power, when

41:24

they when they see that they don't have it, either

41:26

they either black list you, block you off, or it makes

41:28

them freakishly angry and they lose

41:31

it. If Cassie left, he

41:33

would lose power, and he desperately

41:35

because no, we're still not talking about why Shine

41:37

is in prison. All go do your googles

41:40

power. So when you understand that

41:43

about your politics, about what's

41:45

happening across the world, about

41:47

your Benjamin net and Yahoo's about all

41:49

these different things happening, Like when people.

41:51

Just they it's power.

41:54

That's the drug, that's the aphrodijiac.

41:57

So when I had to tell one of these ogs,

42:00

I was in this conversation with like one of these all heads,

42:02

and I was like, look, nigga, it's not I'm not I don't

42:04

think I don't think he's necessarily gay.

42:06

First of all, there's such thing as bisexual, which

42:09

blew this old hands mind.

42:10

It was like wait, and I'm like, yes, nigga, that's

42:12

a thing you could be attracted to both. Because

42:15

to the old head, if you like.

42:17

Men's booties, you gay. That's

42:19

just it to them. But I'm like,

42:21

you can like a lot.

42:22

But my argument is he's not attracted

42:25

to booties or titties.

42:27

He's attracted to power. That's

42:29

what gets him off. And then after we explained

42:31

it, he was like, dang, yeah, I get it because

42:34

dudes go to jail. How do you when

42:36

you're raping another man in jail? It's

42:39

not because it's you're

42:41

expressing dominant and Black

42:43

people was done dealing with this. We needed

42:45

the nature to heal itself. It's too much

42:48

at stake right now for y'all to be active.

42:50

Christy.

42:51

The next person that had time this

42:53

year, which I don't need to get too deep into,

42:56

is Kendrick Lamar. We've

43:00

already done a three episode, no

43:02

four episodes about how again

43:04

the culture decided we had time this. Okay,

43:07

Listen, why I say this year

43:09

was the year was because you have to remember, this is a ten

43:11

to twelve year feud and apparently it

43:13

involved.

43:14

The entirety of rap music. Everybody.

43:18

Everybody had a problem with Drake.

43:20

The only person that ever say something slightly

43:22

nice was twenty one Savage and what he said was

43:24

like, man, I'm friends with both

43:26

of them, which is when you are like,

43:28

that's the reality when you family with everybody,

43:31

like, that's your stance you're supposed to be to.

43:33

Where you like, look, man, like, this ain't my fight.

43:35

I'm friends with both of them.

43:36

I hope they work it out, you know, and you could

43:38

be truthful like Drake do some sideway stuff.

43:40

I don't know Kendrick the way I know Drake. I hope

43:43

they could work it out and it worked out.

43:45

We have successfully identified

43:48

what we mean by a culture vulture, by

43:50

a colonizer, and we decided this

43:52

year we just not gonna stand for it.

43:54

You're not gonna causeplay.

43:55

And that's so crazy that like that's essentially

43:57

what happened. It was like, Okay, you know what, we

43:59

got time this year. I'm addressing the cos

44:01

player, I'm addressing the colonizer. Were

44:04

kicking this ship out of the culture and Drake

44:06

has become jaw Rule. Apparently we had

44:08

time this year. Now we'll see

44:10

how Drake comes back, maybe we'll

44:12

see what he does. I don't I don't know. I don't

44:15

know how this turns out. I'm just saying

44:17

this is a midyear reflection. And lastly,

44:19

which is what made me decide

44:21

to do this whole show, was

44:24

the bleach blonde.

44:25

Bad built, butch body.

44:29

Next.

45:01

Okay, now, in a

45:04

moment that would probably go down

45:06

in Black Twitter history, were it

45:09

still a thing if Elon

45:12

didn't break the app, I mean this would

45:14

this would be like at

45:16

the level of Meet Me in Temecula the

45:19

Nigga Navy, which was really my favorite.

45:22

Yeah, that was probably my favorite Black Twitter moment. This

45:24

would go on in there. Do you guys know

45:26

what the House Oversight Committee

45:28

is? It's actually very important to the messiness of

45:31

his story and why black people finally decided they

45:33

had time and how that is completely

45:35

manifested in Sweet Sister

45:37

Jasmine. So when you become a

45:40

congressman congresswoman

45:42

and you join, when you join the House of Representatives,

45:45

you got you have to join.

45:47

You don't just get to be there. You got to join a clique.

45:49

You have to join a committee

45:52

you know, which I'm calling a click that serves

45:54

on that serves different roles in the government

45:56

for the actual use of goverment. Like that's what your job

45:58

description is. You got to join a particular committee.

46:01

So it's like that's the particular clique that you work

46:03

with. It's like, look your group project, right,

46:05

so there's the finance one.

46:07

You know.

46:08

Then you know they have you've heard things

46:10

like like the Black Caucus and stuff

46:12

like that. That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking specifically

46:14

about being in the House of Representatives or a

46:16

congress person. This one is called the

46:18

House Oversight Committee, and the Oversight

46:21

Committee their job is

46:23

it's is exactly how it sounds. This

46:25

is supposed to be for accountability

46:28

among each other. Right, they

46:30

provide oversight for

46:33

the actions of elected

46:36

officials and task

46:38

force that have been put together, right, So they're

46:41

a panel. So whenever you're seeing

46:44

fools get grilled by

46:47

like you see on the news, when you're

46:49

seeing fools get grilled by the Congress,

46:52

it's it's this. They put

46:54

together subpoenas. They're

46:56

able to say, Yo, you need to come in. You need to testify

46:58

as to like you know, what the hell

47:01

was going on, Like you need to tell

47:03

us what happened was and what your thinking was

47:06

for why this was happening. Some of the more

47:08

historical ones was

47:10

around you know, the nine to eleven

47:13

attacks, right, somebody had to

47:15

talk to what was going on with

47:18

like the Abu Grand prison, Like how

47:20

were there any leaks? Did anybody know what

47:22

was going on? Stuff around Hurricane

47:24

Katrina? Like why is

47:26

there why did FEMA move

47:29

so slowly? Like tell us, tell us what happened

47:31

here? Right, So there's a lot of

47:33

things wwe was investigated

47:35

by them, Like so you just we just need to

47:38

know if it's a national situation,

47:40

is there really a case here? And we could

47:42

subpoena people to come talk to the government

47:45

to just for us to know the

47:47

people Michael Cohen had to sit in front of this is

47:49

the Senate, this is the House Oversight Committee

47:51

for us to know, like how do

47:54

we keep all this stuff accountable? Like now,

47:57

like everything else, it's become freakishly

48:00

partisan. If you can,

48:02

as your party control who's

48:04

in charge of what in

48:07

the committee, then you get to pick the

48:09

cases and.

48:10

How those come. Now.

48:11

Right now, the majority in the

48:14

Oversight Committee is Republican.

48:17

The guy that sits as the chair is

48:20

a man named James comer from Kentucky

48:22

who really a substitute teacher

48:25

looking head ass like bruhs

48:29

just everything he feels like he's he got

48:32

dad jokes just like right out

48:34

on the tip of his tongue at all times. But I'm

48:36

gonna save the roaster for later anyway.

48:40

Oh, another thing I could say too about the

48:42

the Senate or the House

48:44

Overside Committee is like on the sixteenth

48:47

of May, so this just happened, right,

48:50

they are holding Attorney

48:52

General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress

48:55

for refusal to comply with

48:57

any subpoena issued by the Committee of

48:59

Always.

49:00

So this just happened.

49:01

So they get the right to do stuff like that, like,

49:03

Yo, we subpoenaed you.

49:04

You saying no about it?

49:05

Like we get to hold you in content, which is what

49:08

this meeting we're about to talk about now.

49:10

The meeting got off late.

49:12

Because a lot of the old Trump heads was up in

49:14

New York trying to defend you know, his

49:16

Cheeto sell in his situation today was up

49:18

in New York. The rest of the homies was

49:20

on this city House I keep calling it

49:22

Senate, this House Overside Committee,

49:24

talking about can we hold Merrick Garland

49:26

and content. So you're supposed to go back and

49:28

forth about like are

49:31

we down with this?

49:32

Now? Enter Marjorie Taylor

49:35

Green. Now, if you.

49:37

Know her, which you should,

49:39

I mean, she is a fully she's the fully

49:42

evolved pokemon of white

49:44

woman privilege. Like she's the

49:47

I'm sorry, guys, she is

49:49

the avatar of this. She worked

49:52

the system to the system work for her because

49:54

I really honestly don't really know what

49:56

she believes or feels.

49:59

I just know she's the queen of the wild.

50:01

Takes extreme maga republican

50:04

like to the point of where what she say don't make

50:06

sense, like this ain't even conservative.

50:08

This is just like I don't even know

50:11

what you're talking about. She has very

50:13

little decorum because if

50:15

you and this is just factual, because

50:17

if you go back to the last

50:19

two State of the Union's address, she booing,

50:22

she popping off, she's interrupting

50:25

the dude like just she pop

50:27

off at all times.

50:28

She's looking for the hot takes. She's always

50:30

looking for a zinger.

50:32

A lot of times she'd be incredibly

50:35

conspiracy theory pilled, but she pop

50:37

off because she got the back.

50:39

End of the big hommy, y'all know what I mean.

50:40

By the big hump and people a lot of times let hers

50:42

lid because she famous like

50:45

she's I mean, she's hot right now. She's like,

50:47

let's be real, like in the world, she hot right

50:49

now, and she's been hot for a while. Remember

50:51

the whole fifty didja thing I talked about a long

50:53

time ago, and I was like, none of y'all counted for Margie

50:56

Taylor Green. The girl knows

50:58

how to get a headline and how how she

51:00

does this is in these meetings that are

51:02

supposed to be rather boring and procedural.

51:05

She pops off, it's been real late they

51:07

at this meeting, and she continue

51:10

to interrupt the meeting, asking questions

51:12

that really ain't got nothing to do what we talking about? So

51:14

she out of nowhere asked this question of the of

51:16

the panel, are any of the Democrats employing

51:19

Judge Marshan's daughter? Who is Judge

51:21

Marshan? Doesn't matter for the story, because

51:23

it don't matter for the hearing either. Now you

51:25

hear what obviously is a black

51:28

woman, which which you

51:30

can safely assume is Jasmine

51:32

Crockett off camera, because this is

51:34

all this is all recorded because it has to be,

51:36

so it's off camera, you hear

51:39

what is clearly a black woman say, please tell

51:41

me what this has to do with with Mary Garland.

51:44

Essentially like hefa, what the hell are you

51:46

talking about? And then you hear

51:48

which is.

51:52

The funniest the second

51:54

funniest thing in this clip is you hear James

51:57

Comer. Remember I told you substitute

52:00

your head ass like goes is.

52:02

She a porn star? Like? What?

52:05

And people is all like is

52:07

she advising her? What? Like? What is she talking about?

52:10

Like you can hear the sound of blackness

52:12

being like, what is this?

52:14

What do you know what we're here for?

52:16

Does she know what we're here for? Like, just

52:18

like can you believe us? Half?

52:20

Like what is you talking about? So, but she's

52:22

on mike because it's just like, what's

52:24

happening right now? What?

52:26

So that was strike one. So then Marjorie pops

52:28

off with her finger, Oh, oh.

52:30

You know, do we know what you do? You know what

52:32

you're here for? She goes, no, do you know

52:34

what you're here for? Then she makes her fatal

52:36

mistake. I think your fake eyelashes

52:39

is getting in the way. And then that's when

52:41

the gavel hits old Order Order Order,

52:43

So they like mister chairman, can you get

52:45

a hold of your community?

52:46

Can you get your girl? Because she talking out

52:48

her.

52:49

Neck and the whole room's like, oh, like yo,

52:51

what is why are you popping off? And

52:53

Marjorie real proud of herself like oh boom

52:56

roasted, like she proud of herself at this moment.

52:58

It's kind of funny watching all

53:03

the clerks come and

53:05

wild. The guy that's supposed to be in

53:07

charge, he needed to check the playbook, like

53:10

wait, can you are you allowed to say this?

53:11

Can you talk like that? Do we need to strike this?

53:14

I wait, what are the rules right

53:16

now?

53:16

Like the nigga confused cuz cause

53:19

he like, I don't know what we

53:21

supposed to do right now?

53:24

What right?

53:25

And then the whole girl, the hall

53:28

girl, Jenny from the block, you know what I'm saying. The

53:30

hall girl, AOC is like hot,

53:32

jumps in and is like, yo, hey,

53:35

do we got like a point of order?

53:36

Like yo, do we got a point of order?

53:37

And then one white boy kind of steps in and he's asking

53:40

about financing stuff, which really

53:42

was him trying to get his bars off too, and

53:44

AOC you hear her in the back like,

53:46

yo, that's that's disgusting it's

53:48

absolutely disgusting. She goes, you know what, actually,

53:51

I have a point of order, like a person who actually

53:53

understands how the rules work.

53:54

She finally started talking. She was like, listen,

53:57

I removed.

53:58

My point of order is that the parliamentarian

54:01

strikes the words of Congresswoman

54:03

Marjorie Taylor Green because that is disgusting.

54:06

You not allowed to talk about somebody's body

54:08

like this man, strike this from the record.

54:10

She like, that's absolutely disgusting. Marley

54:12

Treyley Tree popping off like, oh are your

54:14

feelings hurt? All like just

54:17

completely out of pocket. But again,

54:20

stay with me. Now, most of the time,

54:22

we ain't got time for none of this. So when she's like, oh,

54:24

are your feelings hurt, Ao was like, oh

54:27

girl, baby, girl, Like basically

54:29

like, girl, you listen. If you only

54:31

knew I just did this show.

54:34

This is a side note, but it's very important. I just did

54:36

this this show at

54:38

Joseph Harp Correctional Facility

54:41

prison at Okay See performed out there,

54:43

and I was talking to the brus about

54:46

about having inner piece, about like what's

54:48

going on in your own head and that you know, you deserve

54:50

to have that type of piece and whatever. Work you gotta do, man,

54:52

I encourage you to do that work right, to get that piece inside

54:54

your head because a lot of times people see

54:57

us and they think, and especially you,

54:59

because y'all are here, they think y'all crazy. And

55:01

I'm like, you only know what

55:04

I tell you if you like, you

55:06

don't know what I don't say, Like if y'all

55:08

knew, if y'all knew.

55:10

What I was keeping on myself, oh baby,

55:12

you wouldn't. You don't know half of the

55:14

crazy.

55:15

So essentially, what AOC is

55:17

saying is like, oh, baby, girl, oh

55:20

if you only knew how much I hold

55:22

back, like and look

55:25

and right now, who she

55:27

was talking who who Margie was talking about

55:29

was Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett.

55:31

She was talking about her black woman, young black

55:34

lady. She was talking about her. But AOC

55:36

jumps in and was like, hell, oh

55:38

hell no, right, and

55:41

the white boys still can't figure out how to get ordered

55:43

right, which is so funny to me, But again,

55:46

none of them can control Marjorie.

55:48

She do whatever she won't.

55:49

But yeah, AOC like, listen, baby,

55:51

don't even play, like, don't play with me. You have

55:54

to understand for a person of color, if

55:56

a woman of color. I'm gonna say specifically

55:58

black or Latina. If she say

56:01

don't play with me right, you need

56:03

to stop. Kendrick had a song on Damn that

56:05

said stop playing with me for I turn you to

56:07

a song he's talking about Drake,

56:09

stop playing with me.

56:10

That for black people, that's your last

56:13

warning.

56:14

When white people say you're on thin ice bucko,

56:17

that is the black version of that

56:19

stop playing with me. That means

56:22

you understand what it means. So Ao's

56:25

like, hey, don't play right.

56:28

So somebody seconds the motion that

56:30

like I second the motion that those words are struck, and

56:33

the people running it.

56:34

Is still confused. That's the funniest

56:36

part. They looking at documents like, wait,

56:39

what are we supposed to do? How do we do this

56:41

right?

56:43

They have lost all control of this. Mug AOC

56:46

is like, I'm not having it. That is unacceptable.

56:48

We're striking that. That is no way in the world that's going

56:50

in the record. But they're like, but they don't know how to do

56:52

it. So they're like, oh okay, So they get the director.

56:54

The leaders get the director. It's like, do you

56:57

agree to strike your words from the record. Margie

57:00

Taylor Green was like, I get like I still

57:02

have four minutes of twenty second, which, as

57:04

a side note, was like, nigga, you've been talking this

57:06

whole time and none of it has been your time,

57:09

So what are you talking about? Right, But forget

57:11

that part. She goes, yeah, yeah, I agree to

57:13

strike it. AOC's like, you need to apologize,

57:16

you're out of line, and she's like,

57:18

I ain't apologizing. Like no, if

57:21

they could cuss, it had been like, no, bitch, you

57:23

need to apologize. Like I can hear those

57:25

words in there. It's not happening

57:27

there because somebody trying to be a professional. And

57:30

then Margie Taylor was like, why don't you debate

57:32

me? AOC was like, it's

57:35

evan and you ain't got the intelligence for that. And

57:38

so this is all happening while while the

57:40

White boys is still trying to get ordered.

57:41

Hey, like I haven't even recognized you, blah

57:44

blah blah. Right, so all this has happening.

57:46

They don't know how to work, they don't know how the laws work,

57:48

they don't know the rules.

57:49

It's too confusing. We never been in this situation.

57:51

So he finally's like okay, okay, everybody, okay, calm down,

57:54

miscreen we got two points of order. Everybody popping

57:56

off. We want to strike AOC's word. We want

57:58

to strike margitar. We got two points order, y'all.

58:01

It's like, okay, everybody, every I called

58:03

down, everybody.

58:04

Everybod shout up, shut U, shut up, shut and shut up.

58:06

Do you agree humanimously to strike your words, Margie

58:08

Taylor Green? Yes, but I'm not apologizing these

58:10

people be heard off words. He's like, ma'am, oh

58:13

my god, do you agree to just strike

58:15

the word? That's all I need from you? And

58:17

then here go to order. We're gonna do this. Then we're

58:19

gonna give you. You're gonna agree to this, and

58:21

we're gonna give you four minutes. She's like, okay,

58:23

word. Then you hear Jasmine speak

58:25

up, which I bet you, y'all

58:28

listen, if I could only have been sitting

58:30

next to her at this time, let me tell you how hard we

58:32

be laughing right now. So she says,

58:35

my request for you right now is to just

58:38

take a second and do

58:40

your googles about miss

58:43

Jasmine's bona fides, to

58:45

just know how unbelievably

58:47

intelligent this woman is. Now,

58:50

okay, I have a point of order. They was

58:52

like, who this jazz. Okay,

58:55

Miss Crockett, She said, I just need

58:57

some clarity. I just want to know if

59:00

if someone were to start talking

59:02

about a bleach blonde,

59:04

bad built, butch body, that

59:07

that would be a point of contention, Like, am I allowed

59:09

to say that.

59:11

Jake's cobrag a what? Now?

59:21

Listen, First of all, the

59:24

alliteration number two.

59:26

It's an alliteration that was probably off

59:28

the head that she probably just thought

59:30

of right there.

59:31

Like, because the

59:33

asylum that black people.

59:35

Was raised in, if there's anything

59:37

we do well is we're gonna roast the hell

59:39

out of you. You have no chances

59:41

when it comes to getting roasted with us. We

59:43

are just too good at this. This

59:45

is our You have to understand the

59:48

way we was because we get it from every

59:50

angle. You get roasted from your cousins

59:52

younger than you. You get roasted from your

59:54

mama, your aunties, your uncles, your granddaddy,

59:57

your grandma, every We

59:59

we know how to clap back. There is never

1:00:02

a situation where I'm not gonna

1:00:04

figure out a way to clap back at you. We

1:00:06

are too good at this. And again, what

1:00:09

I keep trying to say to you when we say because

1:00:11

AOC started it like don't play is

1:00:14

you don't understand what I'm not saying to you.

1:00:16

You have no idea because of the

1:00:18

angry black woman thing. It's the same thing that happens

1:00:20

as an angry black man because of that's that

1:00:23

stereotype. The amount of control

1:00:26

we have to have, the amount of

1:00:28

biting of tongue because

1:00:31

when you get to pop off as much

1:00:33

as you want, but when I defend

1:00:35

myself or when I pop off, I'm

1:00:37

an angry black person. But sometimes

1:00:40

we got time. Sometimes it's

1:00:42

time for you to learn a lesson. You remember

1:00:45

the fade in the water, the Montgomery, Alabama

1:00:47

situation.

1:00:48

We had time that day.

1:00:49

There are times that we have time that

1:00:51

is like, no, you know what, this is gonna stop

1:00:53

today. You're gonna stop playing with me. So

1:00:56

that's what seriously has happening. But

1:00:58

she does it Like I said, how black we could

1:01:00

be very unserious about

1:01:02

serious things and be serious about

1:01:04

it. So what she gonna say is like, Okay,

1:01:07

you got an issue with my eyelasses. You

1:01:09

don't understand how hot I could get on your

1:01:12

girl. I could cook you so bad right

1:01:14

now. You don't even know like there was a be missing

1:01:17

obviously because we know how to

1:01:19

control ourselves. But your little

1:01:21

tail if we're gonna start talking about bodies, and they

1:01:23

were like, whoa, whoa, you're out of Like She's like, look, I'm

1:01:26

just trying to understand cause she gets to

1:01:28

talk about she gets to talk about eyelashes.

1:01:30

I just want to know what's appropriate or not cuz

1:01:33

if so, so do I

1:01:35

need to apologize? So I should apologize

1:01:38

about that?

1:01:38

Right? Is that the decorum? Is that what

1:01:40

we're doing here?

1:01:41

So essentially it's like listen, ma'am, And

1:01:44

this is the lesson that I cannot tell

1:01:46

you how often

1:01:49

in every household, if

1:01:51

you a real one and you got children,

1:01:54

you've had to tell your younglings.

1:01:57

Do not dish out what

1:01:59

you cannot take.

1:02:00

If you can't take it, don't

1:02:03

give it, because oh I'm

1:02:05

a serve it full for you.

1:02:07

So do not dish out what you can't

1:02:09

take. Black people decided.

1:02:10

You know, I'm about done with you.

1:02:12

You coming into my playing

1:02:14

field right now. You not allowed to pop

1:02:16

off no more because if you pop off

1:02:18

again, I'm gonna roast you even worse.

1:02:20

You think I'm worried about these white boys, ma'am,

1:02:23

stop playing with me, and you.

1:02:26

See the

1:02:28

senator sitting next to.

1:02:33

Sitting next to James Covert, trying

1:02:37

not to laugh, laugh,

1:02:41

hon this is amazing.

1:02:43

But then the white lady gets to The white lady get

1:02:45

to be like listen, calm down, calm

1:02:47

down. She get to call us the angry one, and she's

1:02:49

like no, no, no, no, no, you want to smoke.

1:02:52

Trying to get some clarification. Can we talk

1:02:54

like this? Is we allowed to because you wouldn't apologizing.

1:02:56

You don't think you're wrong. So I'm just trying to

1:02:59

understand if this where we go, and if we're gonna

1:03:01

get down, we're gonna get in. And again

1:03:03

the white boys done lost control, and Margie

1:03:06

Screen's still popping off like calm down, I can't

1:03:08

hear you of your anger. She's still

1:03:10

popping off about AOC. And then AOC

1:03:12

come back and like, hold up. I move to

1:03:14

strike her words a second time because

1:03:17

of the derogatory thing she's saying about

1:03:19

a second person.

1:03:20

Listen, black and brown unity out this

1:03:22

mug.

1:03:22

That's how we roll, y'all. Listen,

1:03:26

we got time this year, so they can't even get

1:03:28

the whole thing. And AOC gotta explain

1:03:31

the rules to the guy that's supposed to be a charge. She's

1:03:33

like, listen, I know you saying that she recognized

1:03:36

for her four minutes and twenty seconds. The problem

1:03:38

is she can't talk yet because you don't

1:03:40

know the rules. There is a motion to strike

1:03:43

her words the second ones. She's still

1:03:45

popping off about me. That needs to get struck before

1:03:47

you can recognize her. You have to

1:03:49

acknowledge this. How why am I explaining

1:03:51

the rules to you? Usually

1:03:54

you just let pettiness be pettiness because

1:03:57

we keep our eyes on the prize. But

1:03:59

sometimes you gotta pop out

1:04:01

and show me. We got time this year and

1:04:03

it's only this is only June, and

1:04:06

I cannot be more proud how

1:04:08

these black and brown women are showing up. So

1:04:11

let's just see man. I hope hopefully we keep

1:04:13

this same energy.

1:04:15

Go. This is the look. I

1:04:18

love it. We got time

1:04:20
