Black History Month Chronicles ft Duan & Q - Episode 78
This has been an excellent month of black history for us here at NJMP. So much that we have decided to push the narrative permanently. Our journey to find something that is wholesome for the culture has been trivial. Now we have it. Let's get into this episode.
1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,000

00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Music
12
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:28,000
Music

We here you know
19
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,000
You know successful black history month
20
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
man I'm proud of what we did this month
21
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Especially you coming up with the idea
22
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
educating the people, putting light on the black people
23
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
man how you doing sir
24
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
good, good
25
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Hopefully all you all are doing good too anywhere
26
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,660
Another week of Not Just Music podcast, another week to talk about what we've just been through
27
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:01,660
this past month.
28
00:01:01,660 --> 00:01:07,480
We had a lot of interesting conversations, a lot of interesting topics, not just topics,
29
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:13,680
more so than just giving history, being black historians versus just doing the usual podcasting
30
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:20,120
and touching on little hits and hear their things and what goes on in the world.
31
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:27,840
One thing that is for sure is that us as black inventors were very, very, very innovative
32
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:38,000
in what we used to make be for the time we had, especially as the slaves and coming from
33
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,480
the slave era, we didn't have a whole lot of people.
34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,920
We had to get very, very, very inventive.
35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,920
You had to come up with something.
36
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:45,920
Very creative.
37
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,200
Easier way to make things for yourself and not only just for yourself, for your whole
38
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,160
entire family and your family to come in the future.
39
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,520
And eventually just the people, individuals.
40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:06,440
One thing is for certain is that I know, well, second thing is for certain that we have a
41
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:13,040
timeline now that I was looking into from about the 1800s to the 1900s when I feel that
42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:19,400
was really our most innovative years, as I pointed out, due to not having, especially
43
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:26,480
those that were farmers and those that were cooks or had something to do with cooking.
44
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,120
I noticed those were very, very, very big as far as when it came to blacks and being
45
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,600
black inventors.
46
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:45,880
So did you have anyone pinpointed, anybody that you liked or it was out of nowhere, like,
47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,640
okay, I didn't think about this or this is new to me, anything for you?
48
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:50,640
Yeah.
49
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:56,520
Man, I went back, the Jim Brown episode that we did, we used to talk about Jim Brown, his
50
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:02,320
life story, how you were talking about his story, man, how a white man had paid for his
51
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:09,840
college and how he was in the lead when it was heavy racism and trying to keep up with
52
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,640
his academics and just facing the pressure of being black.
53
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:21,960
I put that with life today and it's like they had to crawl so we could walk, you know what
54
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,320
I'm saying, in certain ways.
55
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,480
A lot of us were great just from small things now in life, but imagine going through that
56
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,520
and still having to stay strong.
57
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,040
So it makes you look at life differently.
58
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,040
Well, me, it did.
59
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:44,280
It taught me not to be appreciative of what I have and less, you know what I'm saying,
60
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:50,320
don't look at the things I don't have and appreciate and just be thankful.
61
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:56,400
Another thing that I went back and some of the things that I was interested in and I
62
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:03,520
seen clothing, for example, I would see artists, people I admired, was inspired by wearing
63
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,520
certain clothes.
64
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:13,240
And the crazy thing is I never knew these, most of these brands were black African Americans.
65
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,240
So it's a lot of stuff that went over my head as a black man.
66
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,240
You know what I'm saying?
67
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,200
Like, wow, that's important though, you know, because we wouldn't know that unless we actually
68
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,200
went and researched.
69
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:31,480
So I realized like we are talented.
70
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,960
You know, we have a lot of history.
71
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:42,120
We have a lot of great things about us, you know, that is unknown to our people for sure.
72
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,920
So it opened my eyes to research also, like even when I'm about to buy something, I look
73
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:53,080
into who's the owner brand or the founder and look up a business, you know, just from
74
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,760
the small businesses, it makes me do my research.
75
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,960
So this was an eye opener for me, you know, to educate myself.
76
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:00,960
Yeah.
77
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:10,200
Nah, this is why, you know, for me, mine was, a big part of mine was, yeah, Jim Brown and
78
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,520
another one that was big to me was Woods.
79
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:19,880
I think his last name was Woods.
80
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:25,840
That was a very big event to deal with the dealt with cars a lot, man.
81
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:31,680
A lot of these people, we would never, like I said, I would probably never think about
82
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,040
it again, unless I go back over and research it again.
83
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:42,240
But in time, I'll watch these podcasts in time to come and gravitate back to it and
84
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,240
remember it.
85
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,240
It's out there, that's the key.
86
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,220
And if nothing else, too, like I said, even if I got to go research more stuff, go research
87
00:05:49,220 --> 00:05:50,220
more stuff.
88
00:05:50,220 --> 00:05:53,000
It's not like I had to just like stick myself in one position and like say, oh, this is
89
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,360
the only thing I'll be doing.
90
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,360
Because it'll make you research.
91
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,360
It definitely makes you research.
92
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,360
It'll make you want to learn more.
93
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,360
Yeah.
94
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,880
And put more stuff into a realistic manner.
95
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,720
And not only that, like I said, it's motivating too.
96
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,000
Not just like saying, you sitting up here just talking about just random people, but
97
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,480
you talking about people that did something for us.
98
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,160
Our background, coming from the same situation, circumstances that we come from, that we can
99
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,120
relate to and be proud of.
100
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,880
Ancestors, I appreciate y'all highly.
101
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:31,400
Highly, because it's a lot of stuff that I never would see in a normal world to be considered
102
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,400
that.
103
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,400
That was y'all norm.
104
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,760
Our norm is totally different than what y'all norm is.
105
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:42,560
And it's not a thing to say that I'm just not just grateful I'm humble too.
106
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,840
It makes me more humble to be able to do things, especially like we have these platforms nowadays.
107
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:54,520
If y'all would have had these platforms, I think it would have been pinnacle.
108
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,920
So the little stuff that we do get to see and see that was documented as far as visual
109
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:06,240
versus just saying black and white text in some manner.
110
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,240
It's levels to it, but at the same time, hopefully we're making y'all happy because we are making
111
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,240
history too.
112
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,200
There's a lot of stuff that we've made history with.
113
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:20,480
As a black community that a lot of people, y'all probably never would have thought would
114
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,820
have been able to possible.
115
00:07:22,820 --> 00:07:29,960
So that's why I always say look at these things and look at pictures of my grandma, my granddad,
116
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,840
my aunties and stuff that's died.
117
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,600
You're just thinking like, man, I hope they smiling down on this.
118
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:42,720
Hopefully they enjoying this because in case they went through some stuff and had to deal
119
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,560
with it, and here we are.
120
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:53,520
But again, with our ancestors, I'm gonna ask you a question, bro.
121
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,940
This is something that kind of puts a seal on this black history thing.
122
00:07:57,940 --> 00:08:05,800
Have you ever looked into your history or your family history or thought about digging
123
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,160
into your family history to see where you actually come from?
124
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,160
You know what?
125
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,880
I have thought about it, but I haven't.
126
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,880
It's something I need to do for sure.
127
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,440
I don't know what's stopping me.
128
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,640
No excuses, but I need to do it.
129
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,440
Like I said, I originally went back to Africa.
130
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,260
I went to Africa and that was when I opened it too.
131
00:08:31,260 --> 00:08:36,920
That's when I really wanted to see my roots and the blackness, you know what I'm saying?
132
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:42,880
Where we come from, our culture, Nigeria opened my eyes a lot.
133
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,480
I went over there with a certain mind.
134
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,000
I came back with a different mindset.
135
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,800
It was black, pro-black, you know what I'm saying?
136
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,200
So when you experiment, stuff like that, it makes you want to learn it.
137
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,840
Yeah, but that's something I need to get into, to learn it, dab into for sure.
138
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,560
Actually take the test and stuff like that.
139
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:06,400
Because I might be surprised, man.
140
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,000
I think, man, I'm...
141
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Have you took it?
142
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,240
No, I'm not.
143
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,640
I thought about it as I got more and more into this month.
144
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:22,600
Because it's like, man, it's a lot of taste now.
145
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,720
And I'm going to say taste meaning look at how many people have had kids over the past
146
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:29,760
50 years.
147
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:37,600
And look how many mixed individuals have become, even if it was one coming from Africa, or
148
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,800
whether it was someone coming from Germany, or wherever.
149
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:47,600
And they mixing all of these together, and then they end up here.
150
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,760
You wonder, okay, then you marry somebody that ain't from here, then there's another
151
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,760
mix on your kids.
152
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:53,760
So it's like, okay.
153
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,760
It's a lot of stories like that.
154
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,960
Women coming from Africa, getting pregnant by American men, you know what I'm saying?
155
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,720
We never know.
156
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,360
That's not an uncommon thing.
157
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,960
Jewish and all kinds of races.
158
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,960
Yeah.
159
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,280
It's not an uncommon thing, man.
160
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,640
I think we sometimes may take things a little lightly.
161
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:15,640
Are we just black?
162
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,640
We just the N word.
163
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,240
And it can easily ride under that.
164
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,240
Easily ride.
165
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,240
Yeah.
166
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,600
So, I mean...
167
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,320
That's the stereotype of it.
168
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,960
Even us, like you say, small-minded.
169
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,520
There was somebody online, and somebody went to school with you.
170
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,520
They are black.
171
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,680
They are, because you look at them, they're black.
172
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:46,880
But when they did their test, completely Native American.
173
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,880
You see?
174
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:49,880
Completely, brother.
175
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,520
You can't just go off just the outer, man.
176
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,560
Look at that neonating jeans, that tree.
177
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:03,600
It looks, you can easily look at somebody, and like, okay, yeah, they black.
178
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,480
Or even the ones that get me are the...
179
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,480
Can I say something?
180
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,480
Yeah, go ahead.
181
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,840
I mean, I was like that too.
182
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,960
Before I went to Africa, Nigeria, and then I get off the plane into the airport, and
183
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,440
people telling me I look like, yeah, there's certain Nigerian, I forgot the names, there's
184
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,880
so many different types.
185
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:28,600
But it was like I look like a certain Nigerian man or something like that.
186
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,800
And I was like, oh, okay, appreciate it.
187
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,800
Some people see it in me.
188
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:40,200
I don't, as I get older, it's like, okay, your nails be growing fast, your hair growing
189
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,200
quicker.
190
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,720
You're like, okay, I love rice.
191
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,240
Where is this coming from?
192
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,440
My family don't like, what's going on?
193
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,560
So that makes you want to, cautious too, or curious.
194
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:53,080
Okay, why all these changes?
195
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,760
You know what I'm saying?
196
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,320
I mean, that's how it feels, man, like something different.
197
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:04,960
And that's my styles of, I think, let me see what I was gonna say though.
198
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:05,960
Yeah, I'm gonna pass.
199
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,960
Dominican, no, you fine.
200
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:07,960
Dominican people.
201
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:15,040
Or what are they called?
202
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,760
Black Dominicans, basically.
203
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:22,560
That's the case of it, so if you saw them, you would think, okay, this is a black person.
204
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:28,120
But then when they started talking, straight Latin, there ain't nothing coming out of me.
205
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,120
Not a lick of English.
206
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,120
And you're looking at them like, oh, okay.
207
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,120
I thought you were black.
208
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,120
Yeah, and it's-
209
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,120
We expected something else to come out of that.
210
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:44,180
And that's like the consideration of how, and this is linking in a slightly not outer
211
00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:48,500
in our black history, but how you see the white Africans.
212
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:50,280
That's a natural, that's a normal thing.
213
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:55,440
I mean, you see a lot of these things, these things are not uncommon anymore.
214
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,960
It's like a thing like, okay, yeah, these people really are mixing the world up.
215
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,960
It's not a bad thing.
216
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,180
I mean, it was, eventually it was bound to happen.
217
00:13:05,180 --> 00:13:11,260
They left here and went over there, and most of us got brought over here.
218
00:13:11,260 --> 00:13:18,160
But a lot of those white Americans that wanted to know what it was like really in Africa,
219
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,640
they went and saw about it.
220
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,440
And again, big ups to them too, because like you were talking about with the Jim Brown
221
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:31,920
situation, you had certain Caucasian that were for us, wanted to help us, wanted to
222
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:37,520
better the situation for the black people.
223
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:46,200
So even as a 2024, and this is things that I want to say, especially to the younger generation
224
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:57,440
kids, remember to pay homage to those that were ahead of you, older than you.
225
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:03,600
And I'm not talking just about like your favorite rapper or like your favorite entertainer or
226
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,760
like your favorite YouTuber or your favorite TikToker or your favorite IG.
227
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:13,320
I'm talking about like, even if it's like your mom or if it's your dad or your grandma
228
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:23,520
or your grandma or your grandpa, these are people, these are real more realistically
229
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,000
sound to a normal individual.
230
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,360
Because you personally seen them get up and do it.
231
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,800
You seen them lead by example.
232
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,960
Just pay homage to those.
233
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:41,560
I mean you can have somebody that, okay yeah, I look up to them, but don't forget about
234
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,560
...
235
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,520
Like if it's podcasting for example, and it was like a black podcast that opened the doors
236
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,760
for us, we're going to pay homage to them.
237
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,040
You get what I'm saying people?
238
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:57,960
Like anything that's helping you in a field that you're doing or making your life better
239
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,360
in certain ways that people had to go through something before that.
240
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,360
Pay homage to them.
241
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,360
You know what I'm saying?
242
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,200
Like your mom went through what she had to go through to give you a better lifestyle
243
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,400
so you wouldn't probably have to deal with the lifestyle she had that probably wasn't
244
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,240
so bright or beautiful, but she tried to make yours.
245
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,040
So that's paying homage.
246
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,440
And that's excitement.
247
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,200
Excitement comes along with those that did it.
248
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,440
Show yourself like it's an excitement.
249
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,600
Don't take it lightly.
250
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:35,200
And I say that because just imagine, and this is something that I say too, those that did
251
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:45,000
die for what, standing for what we are and who we are today.
252
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:53,120
This is something that I love to think about them in a sense of honor and pride and as
253
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,000
I was saying earlier, it's something that hits differently with me.
254
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:05,560
Because it's like what all they had to do to do this, how simplistically this is now.
255
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,600
They had the option to even have an option to do it.
256
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:11,600
It's crazy.
257
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:18,120
Come in and set up this stuff and get to sit down and record it and put it out to the world.
258
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,800
That should never be taken lightly, even if it's music or whether it's a book or whether
259
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,240
this is just writings or poetry.
260
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,840
What y'all seeing us on, what we using these phones?
261
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,960
Like the recent episodes created by Black Man.
262
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:43,040
People have these things, the tools, cameras and all of this stuff to be able to do these
263
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,240
things is endless now.
264
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:51,360
And to take advantage of it is a good thing to take advantage of.
265
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,200
Just because we didn't have it.
266
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,280
And now again, we've kind of tarnished it in some ways, but I'm not here to talk about
267
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,280
the tarnish.
268
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:03,440
I'm here to talk about the positive aspects of what it can be, especially like it was
269
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:09,200
a lady saying, we're rich in a lot of different ways.
270
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,840
One thing again is be able to have your hands.
271
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,240
The hands and your hands are like, your hands are your money maker.
272
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:24,000
And to be able to set stuff and put plays in motion and see these things all the way
273
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,080
out till somebody gets their hands on it and they'll have the tangible version to be able
274
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,400
to hold on to it and you created that.
275
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:38,000
That is the most valuable thing that you could ever be able to possess.
276
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,240
Whether it's fixing cars, whether if you're fixing, putting a house together, building
277
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:49,640
a house, whether if you're a builder, whether if you're a, I mean, pick it.
278
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:54,800
Gardener, whether if you're a landscaper, whether whatever it is, if it's a thing where
279
00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:03,680
you got plumber, electrician, don't take none of y'all take these jobs way too like they
280
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,000
aren't anything.
281
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,280
If you put your, listen, if you put your best efforts into it, I guarantee you that turn
282
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:11,280
out to come out.
283
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,000
But if you ain't putting your best efforts into it, if you just gonna constantly think,
284
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,800
and this is what I feel as black people we do wrong, don't think about it as a little
285
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,800
thing.
286
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,640
Think about it as a big thing.
287
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,000
Think about it as a big thing.
288
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:29,400
If you ain't putting the work in, if you're not putting the work in, and I'm hoping this
289
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:38,340
somebody hears this part, if you're not putting the work in, you will not get a single result
290
00:18:38,340 --> 00:18:40,560
if you're not putting the work in.
291
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:47,800
And you're talking, me, you're talking to a man that's done work plenty nine to fives
292
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:55,760
from construction to fast food to the dumpster to the trash man.
293
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,040
Whatever you, I done did it.
294
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,040
You know what I'm saying?
295
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:05,160
So, but one thing that I always did when I did these jobs is I always did my best like
296
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,400
you just said.
297
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,960
Oh, you get out of it what you put in it.
298
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,240
I mean, and I wanted to eat.
299
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,240
You know what I'm saying?
300
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:15,240
I wanted to feed my family.
301
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,240
So, yeah, you're right.
302
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:22,800
Mindset, that's the mindset that we have to have this generation now is, you know, nothing
303
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,800
comes free.
304
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,360
If you want it, you gotta get it.
305
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:26,960
You gotta work for it.
306
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,680
I'm not saying you, I mean, be passionate about what you do.
307
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,320
And also, I mean, think about it, if it's not what you like to do, or what you love
308
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,760
to do, think about your family.
309
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,240
Like, okay, I'm doing this for my kid.
310
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,200
If you got kids, I'm doing this for my kids.
311
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,200
That should motivate you.
312
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,200
Important.
313
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,520
I'm doing it for my family.
314
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,520
You know what I'm saying?
315
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,120
Like, my mom did it when I was younger.
316
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:50,120
You know what I'm saying?
317
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:52,440
So, why shouldn't I have to do it in labor?
318
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,440
You know what I'm saying?
319
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,860
So, that's how you gotta look at work.
320
00:19:55,860 --> 00:19:58,640
If it's not something you enjoy, think of somebody you love.
321
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,280
Think of something, you know what I'm saying, close to your heart.
322
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,960
You know, that will make you or push you to be the best.
323
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:05,960
You know what I'm saying?
324
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,560
And put your best foot forward.
325
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,480
And that's history.
326
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,120
Think about that.
327
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:16,120
The mentality of a person don't probably think about stuff like that.
328
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:18,320
But it go back to your history.
329
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,320
You know what I'm saying?
330
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,960
Because like work ethic, that's another thing.
331
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,880
That's why, how you brought that up.
332
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,400
Like, you know, checking your tree, you know, your family tree.
333
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,360
When we talking about black, we talking about characteristics and all, your bloodline, what's
334
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:33,360
in that blood?
335
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:35,720
Because that affects you too.
336
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,440
And sometimes you have to know, and this is why it's important, it's good to know your
337
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,200
tree because it's good to know the things you lacking so you can improve on that.
338
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,720
So you can learn how to deal with that.
339
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:47,720
You know what I'm saying?
340
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,000
Because it's a lot of things that I personally deal with that I know probably came from my
341
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,000
father.
342
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,000
You know what I'm saying?
343
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,520
My mom's side.
344
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,560
So it's a battle.
345
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:02,800
And you have to find those things and you have to find something to work and help that.
346
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,280
You know what I'm saying?
347
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,280
So that's important.
348
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,280
You know what I'm saying?
349
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,160
This is another thing too, right?
350
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:16,120
You have, you only have one life to live.
351
00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:22,800
Now, how much effort you put into this life is very important.
352
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,200
Now, let me be honest.
353
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,680
Here's a very blunt situation.
354
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:30,680
Talk soon.
355
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:31,680
Okay.
356
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:51,760
So, it's a guy that I know personally who pays this attention and obvious that this
357
00:21:51,760 --> 00:22:05,420
is not something that is ever going to come across me ever again, especially from black
358
00:22:05,420 --> 00:22:06,760
to black.
359
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:15,760
I will, and this is for the, as I said, the work ethic of an individual period.
360
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,760
For every individual who's listening to me now, don't take me as if I'm attacking.
361
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,720
Take me as I'm showing love.
362
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,080
I'm going to tell you why.
363
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,280
Because sometimes we'll be going through something and we won't even pay attention to what we're
364
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:36,240
going through because of the aspects of where we're trying to get our mental to be.
365
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:43,120
Meaning, if I'm having problems at home and I come here to do work like this, if my mind
366
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:50,560
is constantly on what's at home, what I'm doing here and trying to put all this together,
367
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,320
something is going to crash somewhere.
368
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,400
It's going to run off the road.
369
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:03,400
Now, to him, what I want him to know is take care of your family.
370
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,280
Take care of you right now.
371
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,080
That's important.
372
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,400
You're messing up the whole entire situation of what you got going around you because you're
373
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,680
not paying attention to the details of what you're doing personally.
374
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:24,040
Take time to disassemble yourself from everything you got going on and take care of what's the
375
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,080
one thing that is mainly important.
376
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:34,960
The music, the podcasting, the entertainment stuff will never go away.
377
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:35,960
Never go away.
378
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,840
If it's something that you got to take care of family-wise, if it's something that you
379
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,920
got to take care of personally-wise, take care of that.
380
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,440
Take care of that.
381
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:51,200
Stop crashing out on folks because of the way that you feel.
382
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,960
This is black to black, too.
383
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:53,960
It's real talk.
384
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,640
People that are black will do this a whole lot.
385
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:02,120
They'll take out their frustrations on an individual for a reason of, one, like I said,
386
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:05,120
it's personal.
387
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:08,320
As a person, you can only fix something that's personal by yourself.
388
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:09,800
You have to fix it on your own.
389
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:10,800
Can I say that?
390
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:11,800
Yeah.
391
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:19,760
Also, think about it, when you attack another black man or a black woman, remember, what
392
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:25,120
you're going through, they might be going through are even worse than you.
393
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:29,560
Don't never assume what looks good on the outside and what you see.
394
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,840
You don't know what people are going through.
395
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,720
You don't know how we could help each other talk about each other problems.
396
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,080
I tell you my problems.
397
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,080
You tell me your problems, where somebody is just listening, not criticizing you and
398
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,080
judging you.
399
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,080
You know what I'm saying?
400
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,960
But if you just come attacking, what makes you think somebody is going to want to listen
401
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:49,960
to you then?
402
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:55,560
If you come and just talk, we all could just talk like adults and be grown, everything
403
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,360
will work out, I feel.
404
00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:58,360
You know what I'm saying?
405
00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:01,520
So you have to put your personal to the side.
406
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,520
This is towards him, too.
407
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,560
It ain't no issues or no problems.
408
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:11,480
As black people, it's good for us to be able to talk and channel our emotions because that's
409
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,160
what we're known for.
410
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:19,840
We're emotionally wrecked sometimes, as they put it.
411
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,320
We go based off feelings.
412
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:27,560
Sometimes feelings can get you in the wrong position or get you hurt by yourself.
413
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,680
I've learned that the hard way.
414
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,640
You got to lose it all, lose something to get humbled again and realize, okay, look
415
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,280
in the mirror, what am I doing wrong?
416
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:38,560
What am I saying wrong?
417
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:39,560
My approach.
418
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:44,160
Maybe I look mean, the reason why people don't want to come around me and my approachable.
419
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,840
You got to think of all this stuff.
420
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,600
That's history, though.
421
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,120
We have a history of that.
422
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:52,120
That's the thing.
423
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:53,200
I'm trying to crush that history.
424
00:25:53,200 --> 00:26:03,320
I'm so tired of the combativeness that it's like I can really cut it off fast, but at
425
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:08,760
the same time, I don't feel that cutting it off actually ends it because that's what we
426
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,560
do, for one.
427
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:17,440
Black people, we run from a situation instead of just facing it, even if it is the real.
428
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:24,200
You always say somebody always has a problem with truth, and sometimes it's medicine that
429
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:33,160
ain't good because it hits you, but at the same time, it's not going to go downhill.
430
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,560
It's going to have to go up sooner or later.
431
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,560
It's only there to help you.
432
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,080
It's only there to make you better.
433
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,400
The sickness goes away.
434
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,000
It just takes time.
435
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,320
It don't taste good either.
436
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:48,000
The truth might not taste good, but it's going to help you.
437
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,280
It's going to fix you.
438
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,280
Patience is a hard thing.
439
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,280
That old school remedy.
440
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,800
You take them drugs.
441
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,960
Patience is a thing that some people that could go 50 years before they figure out how
442
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,040
to get to that part to be patient.
443
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,040
Everybody don't get that early in life.
444
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:12,560
It's not a thing for everybody to have patience, and it's the reason why it's that way because
445
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,600
if we didn't have the patient people, we wouldn't know what patience is.
446
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,600
My thing is, like you say, it runs in our history though.
447
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,600
Yeah, that's my DNA.
448
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,920
Us as black people, but we know better too.
449
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,240
We know we was raised right.
450
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:33,800
We know we would get whooped, beat, in the store, in front of your teachers, the class.
451
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,640
We know better when we do things.
452
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:37,640
That's not true.
453
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,760
We know when we do something, it ain't right.
454
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:40,760
Definitely.
455
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:41,760
Deep down.
456
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:47,680
If our mothers seen us on social media talking how we talk, I was saying how they wouldn't
457
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:48,680
approve of it.
458
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,000
Most majority of black parents' mothers wouldn't.
459
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,880
I'm going to just be real.
460
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,200
They'll tear you up.
461
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,200
That's another thing.
462
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:03,800
A lot of people are living these lives that their history, they didn't raise them to be
463
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:04,800
that way.
464
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,120
Our history, our ancestors didn't raise us to be fools.
465
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:10,520
They raised us to be smart.
466
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,240
Raised us to be respectful, yes ma'am, no ma'am.
467
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,040
That's how I was told.
468
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,720
I used to get popped in my mouth.
469
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:20,720
Forget a whooping.
470
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:25,360
I said something at the Thanksgiving table, disrespectful in front of the whole family.
471
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:29,120
Mom swiped me in my mouth in front of the family.
472
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:30,840
You know what I'm saying?
473
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:31,840
It wasn't even a pain.
474
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:32,840
It was an embarrassment.
475
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:37,560
That was just her showing, I don't care where you at, who you in front.
476
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:38,600
You be disrespectful.
477
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:39,600
You can get it.
478
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,960
You can get it.
479
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,760
You got to learn that way or you going to learn the hard way.
480
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,200
You going to crash out.
481
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,440
Fortunately, some people have to crash out in order to get the message.
482
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,720
They have to lose everything to get the message.
483
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,440
It's sad.
484
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,760
That teaches lesson.
485
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:08,320
That lesson is always going to be one of the good ones.
486
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:14,080
Going through hard moments and especially, again, the black community.
487
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:21,440
We see stuff way too... We got to readjust our mentality and understand that things can't
488
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,440
be different.
489
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:27,000
Things can't go a little different if you just put a little effort in.
490
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,120
Don't overlook the small.
491
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,760
Even if it's the thing of you got to downsize.
492
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,120
Downsize.
493
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,640
You don't want to work out here in the real world, but you go to prison and work for 30
494
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:37,640
cents out.
495
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:38,640
Kill yourself softly.
496
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,640
Kill yourself softly.
497
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:40,640
Be thankful for the things you have.
498
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:51,640
Like Walu said, be thankful you able to walk in the refrigerator, get it going, open the
499
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,640
refrigerator.
500
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:57,960
Be thankful you able to... For transportation, you able to get up when you want to, go out
501
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,120
when you want to.
502
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,200
You work a job, but like my mom said, they can't hold you all day.
503
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,960
They can't hold you forever.
504
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,840
You give them eight hours, you're gone.
505
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:08,840
How many hours?
506
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,920
They can't hold you, and you have that choice.
507
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,400
But think about if you didn't have that choice.
508
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,080
The same thing with our ancestors.
509
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:25,320
Think about if we didn't have these choices, what they paved, the way they paved and sacrificed
510
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,560
for us to be able to have this.
511
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,480
Think about that.
512
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:38,800
So, now, Black History Month is officially coming to a close.
513
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,800
When is the last... Yeah.
514
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:47,000
This is the last Thursday of the month.
515
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Perfect.
516
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,000
We are... Yeah.
517
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000
See, 24th.
518
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:00,280
A little bit shy, but again, this still close us out.
519
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,400
We should do a special.
520
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,400
It'll still close us out.
521
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,080
We'll definitely be on something by then.
522
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,920
But again, this still just put that staple... This is important too, man.
523
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:13,920
You know what I'm saying?
524
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,880
That staple of approval, that staple in that Black History Month to say that we actually
525
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,960
spoke on it and did our part.
526
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:21,960
I'm proud of that.
527
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:22,960
I'm proud of it.
528
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:23,960
I'm proud of it.
529
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:24,960
I'm proud of it.
530
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,960
It's in the part... Because you can go so many ways with this,
531
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,080
especially the Black community.
532
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,320
We need to hear stuff like this.
533
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,800
Share is share alone.
534
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:46,080
A lot of us will be definitely... We'll definitely be on to the next visionary of understanding.
535
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,880
Next month, we'll bring in some Black topics.
536
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,160
We'll do some things to push our Blackness.
537
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,640
Just to do things even more.
538
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,520
It ain't got to just be for the gist of the month.
539
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,720
Like I said, I wear that sweatshirt.
540
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,480
Black History 24-7, 365.
541
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,880
It's something I always talk about.
542
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,880
But again... Every day, all day.

00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,200

We want black individuals that's doing something big.

You got a podcast, clothing line, you sell candles, whatever.
577
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,400
I'm realizing when I'm putting this in there, people are reaching out.
578
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,800
Young lady reached out to me today.
579
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,840
Got some big things I don't want to talk about.
580
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,160
She's doing a little thing, movement.
581
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,160
I'm doing a movement.
582
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,920
I brought this to her attention.
583
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,520
I'm going to be sending her some clothes from my clothing line so she can rock that.
584
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,840
If you got any clothes, y'all let me... I'll rock your stuff.

We broadcast it, whatever product.
586
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,400
You got hats and whatever.
587
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:45,600
I'm saying we'll rock it.
588
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:46,600
We'll promote it.
589
00:33:46,600 --> 00:33:48,600
Yeah, I just want to throw that in there.
590
00:33:48,600 --> 00:33:49,600
All right.
591
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:50,600
Black History Month.
592

You know successful black history month
20
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:44,000
man I'm proud of what we did this month
21
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:48,000
Especially you coming up with the idea
22
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
educating the people, putting light on the black people
23
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
man how you doing sir
24
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
good, good
25
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:56,000
Hopefully all you all are doing good too anywhere
26
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:00,660
Another week of Not Just Music podcast, another week to talk about what we've just been through
27
00:01:00,660 --> 00:01:01,660
this past month.
28
00:01:01,660 --> 00:01:07,480
We had a lot of interesting conversations, a lot of interesting topics, not just topics,
29
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:13,680
more so than just giving history, being black historians versus just doing the usual podcasting
30
00:01:13,680 --> 00:01:20,120
and touching on little hits and hear their things and what goes on in the world.
31
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:27,840
One thing that is for sure is that us as black inventors were very, very, very innovative
32
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:38,000
in what we used to make be for the time we had, especially as the slaves and coming from
33
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:41,480
the slave era, we didn't have a whole lot of people.
34
00:01:41,480 --> 00:01:43,920
We had to get very, very, very inventive.
35
00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:44,920
You had to come up with something.
36
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:45,920
Very creative.
37
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,200
Easier way to make things for yourself and not only just for yourself, for your whole
38
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:53,160
entire family and your family to come in the future.
39
00:01:53,160 --> 00:01:57,520
And eventually just the people, individuals.
40
00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:06,440
One thing is for certain is that I know, well, second thing is for certain that we have a
41
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:13,040
timeline now that I was looking into from about the 1800s to the 1900s when I feel that
42
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:19,400
was really our most innovative years, as I pointed out, due to not having, especially
43
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:26,480
those that were farmers and those that were cooks or had something to do with cooking.
44
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:33,120
I noticed those were very, very, very big as far as when it came to blacks and being
45
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,600
black inventors.
46
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:45,880
So did you have anyone pinpointed, anybody that you liked or it was out of nowhere, like,
47
00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:49,640
okay, I didn't think about this or this is new to me, anything for you?
48
00:02:49,640 --> 00:02:50,640
Yeah.
49
00:02:50,640 --> 00:02:56,520
Man, I went back, the Jim Brown episode that we did, we used to talk about Jim Brown, his
50
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:02,320
life story, how you were talking about his story, man, how a white man had paid for his
51
00:03:02,320 --> 00:03:09,840
college and how he was in the lead when it was heavy racism and trying to keep up with
52
00:03:09,840 --> 00:03:14,640
his academics and just facing the pressure of being black.
53
00:03:14,640 --> 00:03:21,960
I put that with life today and it's like they had to crawl so we could walk, you know what
54
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:25,320
I'm saying, in certain ways.
55
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:30,480
A lot of us were great just from small things now in life, but imagine going through that
56
00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:32,520
and still having to stay strong.
57
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:34,040
So it makes you look at life differently.
58
00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:35,040
Well, me, it did.
59
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:44,280
It taught me not to be appreciative of what I have and less, you know what I'm saying,
60
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:50,320
don't look at the things I don't have and appreciate and just be thankful.
61
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:56,400
Another thing that I went back and some of the things that I was interested in and I
62
00:03:56,400 --> 00:04:03,520
seen clothing, for example, I would see artists, people I admired, was inspired by wearing
63
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:04,520
certain clothes.
64
00:04:04,520 --> 00:04:13,240
And the crazy thing is I never knew these, most of these brands were black African Americans.
65
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:18,240
So it's a lot of stuff that went over my head as a black man.
66
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:19,240
You know what I'm saying?
67
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:24,200
Like, wow, that's important though, you know, because we wouldn't know that unless we actually
68
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:25,200
went and researched.
69
00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:31,480
So I realized like we are talented.
70
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:32,960
You know, we have a lot of history.
71
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:42,120
We have a lot of great things about us, you know, that is unknown to our people for sure.
72
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,920
So it opened my eyes to research also, like even when I'm about to buy something, I look
73
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:53,080
into who's the owner brand or the founder and look up a business, you know, just from
74
00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,760
the small businesses, it makes me do my research.
75
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,960
So this was an eye opener for me, you know, to educate myself.
76
00:04:59,960 --> 00:05:00,960
Yeah.
77
00:05:00,960 --> 00:05:10,200
Nah, this is why, you know, for me, mine was, a big part of mine was, yeah, Jim Brown and
78
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,520
another one that was big to me was Woods.
79
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:19,880
I think his last name was Woods.
80
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:25,840
That was a very big event to deal with the dealt with cars a lot, man.
81
00:05:25,840 --> 00:05:31,680
A lot of these people, we would never, like I said, I would probably never think about
82
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,040
it again, unless I go back over and research it again.
83
00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:42,240
But in time, I'll watch these podcasts in time to come and gravitate back to it and
84
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:43,240
remember it.
85
00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:44,240
It's out there, that's the key.
86
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:49,220
And if nothing else, too, like I said, even if I got to go research more stuff, go research
87
00:05:49,220 --> 00:05:50,220
more stuff.
88
00:05:50,220 --> 00:05:53,000
It's not like I had to just like stick myself in one position and like say, oh, this is
89
00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:54,360
the only thing I'll be doing.
90
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:55,360
Because it'll make you research.
91
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,360
It definitely makes you research.
92
00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:57,360
It'll make you want to learn more.
93
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,360
Yeah.
94
00:05:58,360 --> 00:06:01,880
And put more stuff into a realistic manner.
95
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,720
And not only that, like I said, it's motivating too.
96
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,000
Not just like saying, you sitting up here just talking about just random people, but
97
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:12,480
you talking about people that did something for us.
98
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:17,160
Our background, coming from the same situation, circumstances that we come from, that we can
99
00:06:17,160 --> 00:06:19,120
relate to and be proud of.
100
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:21,880
Ancestors, I appreciate y'all highly.
101
00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:31,400
Highly, because it's a lot of stuff that I never would see in a normal world to be considered
102
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:32,400
that.
103
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:33,400
That was y'all norm.
104
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,760
Our norm is totally different than what y'all norm is.
105
00:06:36,760 --> 00:06:42,560
And it's not a thing to say that I'm just not just grateful I'm humble too.
106
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:47,840
It makes me more humble to be able to do things, especially like we have these platforms nowadays.
107
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:54,520
If y'all would have had these platforms, I think it would have been pinnacle.
108
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:59,920
So the little stuff that we do get to see and see that was documented as far as visual
109
00:06:59,920 --> 00:07:06,240
versus just saying black and white text in some manner.
110
00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,240
It's levels to it, but at the same time, hopefully we're making y'all happy because we are making
111
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:11,240
history too.
112
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:14,200
There's a lot of stuff that we've made history with.
113
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:20,480
As a black community that a lot of people, y'all probably never would have thought would
114
00:07:20,480 --> 00:07:22,820
have been able to possible.
115
00:07:22,820 --> 00:07:29,960
So that's why I always say look at these things and look at pictures of my grandma, my granddad,
116
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,840
my aunties and stuff that's died.
117
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,600
You're just thinking like, man, I hope they smiling down on this.
118
00:07:35,600 --> 00:07:42,720
Hopefully they enjoying this because in case they went through some stuff and had to deal
119
00:07:42,720 --> 00:07:44,560
with it, and here we are.
120
00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:53,520
But again, with our ancestors, I'm gonna ask you a question, bro.
121
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,940
This is something that kind of puts a seal on this black history thing.
122
00:07:57,940 --> 00:08:05,800
Have you ever looked into your history or your family history or thought about digging
123
00:08:05,800 --> 00:08:10,160
into your family history to see where you actually come from?
124
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,160
You know what?
125
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:13,880
I have thought about it, but I haven't.
126
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,880
It's something I need to do for sure.
127
00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:21,440
I don't know what's stopping me.
128
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:26,640
No excuses, but I need to do it.
129
00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:28,440
Like I said, I originally went back to Africa.
130
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,260
I went to Africa and that was when I opened it too.
131
00:08:31,260 --> 00:08:36,920
That's when I really wanted to see my roots and the blackness, you know what I'm saying?
132
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:42,880
Where we come from, our culture, Nigeria opened my eyes a lot.
133
00:08:42,880 --> 00:08:45,480
I went over there with a certain mind.
134
00:08:45,480 --> 00:08:48,000
I came back with a different mindset.
135
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:51,800
It was black, pro-black, you know what I'm saying?
136
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:56,200
So when you experiment, stuff like that, it makes you want to learn it.
137
00:08:56,200 --> 00:09:00,840
Yeah, but that's something I need to get into, to learn it, dab into for sure.
138
00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:03,560
Actually take the test and stuff like that.
139
00:09:03,560 --> 00:09:06,400
Because I might be surprised, man.
140
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:10,000
I think, man, I'm...
141
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Have you took it?
142
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:12,240
No, I'm not.
143
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,640
I thought about it as I got more and more into this month.
144
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:22,600
Because it's like, man, it's a lot of taste now.
145
00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:28,720
And I'm going to say taste meaning look at how many people have had kids over the past
146
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:29,760
50 years.
147
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:37,600
And look how many mixed individuals have become, even if it was one coming from Africa, or
148
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:41,800
whether it was someone coming from Germany, or wherever.
149
00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:47,600
And they mixing all of these together, and then they end up here.
150
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,760
You wonder, okay, then you marry somebody that ain't from here, then there's another
151
00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:52,760
mix on your kids.
152
00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:53,760
So it's like, okay.
153
00:09:53,760 --> 00:09:54,760
It's a lot of stories like that.
154
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:58,960
Women coming from Africa, getting pregnant by American men, you know what I'm saying?
155
00:09:58,960 --> 00:10:01,720
We never know.
156
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:04,360
That's not an uncommon thing.
157
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,960
Jewish and all kinds of races.
158
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:07,960
Yeah.
159
00:10:07,960 --> 00:10:10,280
It's not an uncommon thing, man.
160
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:14,640
I think we sometimes may take things a little lightly.
161
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:15,640
Are we just black?
162
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,640
We just the N word.
163
00:10:18,640 --> 00:10:22,240
And it can easily ride under that.
164
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:23,240
Easily ride.
165
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:24,240
Yeah.
166
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:25,600
So, I mean...
167
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:28,320
That's the stereotype of it.
168
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,960
Even us, like you say, small-minded.
169
00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:36,520
There was somebody online, and somebody went to school with you.
170
00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:37,520
They are black.
171
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,680
They are, because you look at them, they're black.
172
00:10:41,680 --> 00:10:46,880
But when they did their test, completely Native American.
173
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:48,880
You see?
174
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:49,880
Completely, brother.
175
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,520
You can't just go off just the outer, man.
176
00:10:53,520 --> 00:10:56,560
Look at that neonating jeans, that tree.
177
00:10:56,560 --> 00:11:03,600
It looks, you can easily look at somebody, and like, okay, yeah, they black.
178
00:11:03,600 --> 00:11:08,480
Or even the ones that get me are the...
179
00:11:08,480 --> 00:11:09,480
Can I say something?
180
00:11:09,480 --> 00:11:10,480
Yeah, go ahead.
181
00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,840
I mean, I was like that too.
182
00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:16,960
Before I went to Africa, Nigeria, and then I get off the plane into the airport, and
183
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:21,440
people telling me I look like, yeah, there's certain Nigerian, I forgot the names, there's
184
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:22,880
so many different types.
185
00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:28,600
But it was like I look like a certain Nigerian man or something like that.
186
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,800
And I was like, oh, okay, appreciate it.
187
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:32,800
Some people see it in me.
188
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:40,200
I don't, as I get older, it's like, okay, your nails be growing fast, your hair growing
189
00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:41,200
quicker.
190
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,720
You're like, okay, I love rice.
191
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:44,240
Where is this coming from?
192
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:46,440
My family don't like, what's going on?
193
00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:50,560
So that makes you want to, cautious too, or curious.
194
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:53,080
Okay, why all these changes?
195
00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:54,760
You know what I'm saying?
196
00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:58,320
I mean, that's how it feels, man, like something different.
197
00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:04,960
And that's my styles of, I think, let me see what I was gonna say though.
198
00:12:04,960 --> 00:12:05,960
Yeah, I'm gonna pass.
199
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:06,960
Dominican, no, you fine.
200
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:07,960
Dominican people.
201
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:15,040
Or what are they called?
202
00:12:15,040 --> 00:12:16,760
Black Dominicans, basically.
203
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:22,560
That's the case of it, so if you saw them, you would think, okay, this is a black person.
204
00:12:22,560 --> 00:12:28,120
But then when they started talking, straight Latin, there ain't nothing coming out of me.
205
00:12:28,120 --> 00:12:29,120
Not a lick of English.
206
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:32,120
And you're looking at them like, oh, okay.
207
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,120
I thought you were black.
208
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,120
Yeah, and it's-
209
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:38,120
We expected something else to come out of that.
210
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:44,180
And that's like the consideration of how, and this is linking in a slightly not outer
211
00:12:44,180 --> 00:12:48,500
in our black history, but how you see the white Africans.
212
00:12:48,500 --> 00:12:50,280
That's a natural, that's a normal thing.
213
00:12:50,280 --> 00:12:55,440
I mean, you see a lot of these things, these things are not uncommon anymore.
214
00:12:55,440 --> 00:13:00,960
It's like a thing like, okay, yeah, these people really are mixing the world up.
215
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,960
It's not a bad thing.
216
00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,180
I mean, it was, eventually it was bound to happen.
217
00:13:05,180 --> 00:13:11,260
They left here and went over there, and most of us got brought over here.
218
00:13:11,260 --> 00:13:18,160
But a lot of those white Americans that wanted to know what it was like really in Africa,
219
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,640
they went and saw about it.
220
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:25,440
And again, big ups to them too, because like you were talking about with the Jim Brown
221
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:31,920
situation, you had certain Caucasian that were for us, wanted to help us, wanted to
222
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:37,520
better the situation for the black people.
223
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:46,200
So even as a 2024, and this is things that I want to say, especially to the younger generation
224
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:57,440
kids, remember to pay homage to those that were ahead of you, older than you.
225
00:13:57,440 --> 00:14:03,600
And I'm not talking just about like your favorite rapper or like your favorite entertainer or
226
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:07,760
like your favorite YouTuber or your favorite TikToker or your favorite IG.
227
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:13,320
I'm talking about like, even if it's like your mom or if it's your dad or your grandma
228
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:23,520
or your grandma or your grandpa, these are people, these are real more realistically
229
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:27,000
sound to a normal individual.
230
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,360
Because you personally seen them get up and do it.
231
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,800
You seen them lead by example.
232
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,960
Just pay homage to those.
233
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:41,560
I mean you can have somebody that, okay yeah, I look up to them, but don't forget about
234
00:14:41,560 --> 00:14:42,560
...
235
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,520
Like if it's podcasting for example, and it was like a black podcast that opened the doors
236
00:14:47,520 --> 00:14:50,760
for us, we're going to pay homage to them.
237
00:14:50,760 --> 00:14:52,040
You get what I'm saying people?
238
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:57,960
Like anything that's helping you in a field that you're doing or making your life better
239
00:14:57,960 --> 00:15:02,360
in certain ways that people had to go through something before that.
240
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:03,360
Pay homage to them.
241
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:04,360
You know what I'm saying?
242
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:08,200
Like your mom went through what she had to go through to give you a better lifestyle
243
00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,400
so you wouldn't probably have to deal with the lifestyle she had that probably wasn't
244
00:15:12,400 --> 00:15:15,240
so bright or beautiful, but she tried to make yours.
245
00:15:15,240 --> 00:15:17,040
So that's paying homage.
246
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:19,440
And that's excitement.
247
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:24,200
Excitement comes along with those that did it.
248
00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:26,440
Show yourself like it's an excitement.
249
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,600
Don't take it lightly.
250
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:35,200
And I say that because just imagine, and this is something that I say too, those that did
251
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:45,000
die for what, standing for what we are and who we are today.
252
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:53,120
This is something that I love to think about them in a sense of honor and pride and as
253
00:15:53,120 --> 00:15:57,000
I was saying earlier, it's something that hits differently with me.
254
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:05,560
Because it's like what all they had to do to do this, how simplistically this is now.
255
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:10,600
They had the option to even have an option to do it.
256
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:11,600
It's crazy.
257
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:18,120
Come in and set up this stuff and get to sit down and record it and put it out to the world.
258
00:16:18,120 --> 00:16:22,800
That should never be taken lightly, even if it's music or whether it's a book or whether
259
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:27,240
this is just writings or poetry.
260
00:16:27,240 --> 00:16:31,840
What y'all seeing us on, what we using these phones?
261
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,960
Like the recent episodes created by Black Man.
262
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:43,040
People have these things, the tools, cameras and all of this stuff to be able to do these
263
00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:46,240
things is endless now.
264
00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:51,360
And to take advantage of it is a good thing to take advantage of.
265
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:53,200
Just because we didn't have it.
266
00:16:53,200 --> 00:16:57,280
And now again, we've kind of tarnished it in some ways, but I'm not here to talk about
267
00:16:57,280 --> 00:16:58,280
the tarnish.
268
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:03,440
I'm here to talk about the positive aspects of what it can be, especially like it was
269
00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:09,200
a lady saying, we're rich in a lot of different ways.
270
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:11,840
One thing again is be able to have your hands.
271
00:17:11,840 --> 00:17:16,240
The hands and your hands are like, your hands are your money maker.
272
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:24,000
And to be able to set stuff and put plays in motion and see these things all the way
273
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:29,080
out till somebody gets their hands on it and they'll have the tangible version to be able
274
00:17:29,080 --> 00:17:32,400
to hold on to it and you created that.
275
00:17:32,400 --> 00:17:38,000
That is the most valuable thing that you could ever be able to possess.
276
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:43,240
Whether it's fixing cars, whether if you're fixing, putting a house together, building
277
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:49,640
a house, whether if you're a builder, whether if you're a, I mean, pick it.
278
00:17:49,640 --> 00:17:54,800
Gardener, whether if you're a landscaper, whether whatever it is, if it's a thing where
279
00:17:54,800 --> 00:18:03,680
you got plumber, electrician, don't take none of y'all take these jobs way too like they
280
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:06,000
aren't anything.
281
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:10,280
If you put your, listen, if you put your best efforts into it, I guarantee you that turn
282
00:18:10,280 --> 00:18:11,280
out to come out.
283
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:15,000
But if you ain't putting your best efforts into it, if you just gonna constantly think,
284
00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:18,800
and this is what I feel as black people we do wrong, don't think about it as a little
285
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:19,800
thing.
286
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,640
Think about it as a big thing.
287
00:18:21,640 --> 00:18:23,000
Think about it as a big thing.
288
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:29,400
If you ain't putting the work in, if you're not putting the work in, and I'm hoping this
289
00:18:29,400 --> 00:18:38,340
somebody hears this part, if you're not putting the work in, you will not get a single result
290
00:18:38,340 --> 00:18:40,560
if you're not putting the work in.
291
00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:47,800
And you're talking, me, you're talking to a man that's done work plenty nine to fives
292
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:55,760
from construction to fast food to the dumpster to the trash man.
293
00:18:55,760 --> 00:18:58,040
Whatever you, I done did it.
294
00:18:58,040 --> 00:18:59,040
You know what I'm saying?
295
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:05,160
So, but one thing that I always did when I did these jobs is I always did my best like
296
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:06,400
you just said.
297
00:19:06,400 --> 00:19:09,960
Oh, you get out of it what you put in it.
298
00:19:09,960 --> 00:19:13,240
I mean, and I wanted to eat.
299
00:19:13,240 --> 00:19:14,240
You know what I'm saying?
300
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:15,240
I wanted to feed my family.
301
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:17,240
So, yeah, you're right.
302
00:19:17,240 --> 00:19:22,800
Mindset, that's the mindset that we have to have this generation now is, you know, nothing
303
00:19:22,800 --> 00:19:23,800
comes free.
304
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:25,360
If you want it, you gotta get it.
305
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:26,960
You gotta work for it.
306
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,680
I'm not saying you, I mean, be passionate about what you do.
307
00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:35,320
And also, I mean, think about it, if it's not what you like to do, or what you love
308
00:19:35,320 --> 00:19:36,760
to do, think about your family.
309
00:19:36,760 --> 00:19:39,240
Like, okay, I'm doing this for my kid.
310
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:41,200
If you got kids, I'm doing this for my kids.
311
00:19:41,200 --> 00:19:42,200
That should motivate you.
312
00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:43,200
Important.
313
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,520
I'm doing it for my family.
314
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:46,520
You know what I'm saying?
315
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,120
Like, my mom did it when I was younger.
316
00:19:49,120 --> 00:19:50,120
You know what I'm saying?
317
00:19:50,120 --> 00:19:52,440
So, why shouldn't I have to do it in labor?
318
00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:53,440
You know what I'm saying?
319
00:19:53,440 --> 00:19:55,860
So, that's how you gotta look at work.
320
00:19:55,860 --> 00:19:58,640
If it's not something you enjoy, think of somebody you love.
321
00:19:58,640 --> 00:20:01,280
Think of something, you know what I'm saying, close to your heart.
322
00:20:01,280 --> 00:20:04,960
You know, that will make you or push you to be the best.
323
00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:05,960
You know what I'm saying?
324
00:20:05,960 --> 00:20:07,560
And put your best foot forward.
325
00:20:07,560 --> 00:20:09,480
And that's history.
326
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:12,120
Think about that.
327
00:20:12,120 --> 00:20:16,120
The mentality of a person don't probably think about stuff like that.
328
00:20:16,120 --> 00:20:18,320
But it go back to your history.
329
00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:19,320
You know what I'm saying?
330
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,960
Because like work ethic, that's another thing.
331
00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:24,880
That's why, how you brought that up.
332
00:20:24,880 --> 00:20:28,400
Like, you know, checking your tree, you know, your family tree.
333
00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:32,360
When we talking about black, we talking about characteristics and all, your bloodline, what's
334
00:20:32,360 --> 00:20:33,360
in that blood?
335
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:35,720
Because that affects you too.
336
00:20:35,720 --> 00:20:39,440
And sometimes you have to know, and this is why it's important, it's good to know your
337
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:44,200
tree because it's good to know the things you lacking so you can improve on that.
338
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:46,720
So you can learn how to deal with that.
339
00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:47,720
You know what I'm saying?
340
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,000
Because it's a lot of things that I personally deal with that I know probably came from my
341
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,000
father.
342
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:54,000
You know what I'm saying?
343
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,520
My mom's side.
344
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:57,560
So it's a battle.
345
00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:02,800
And you have to find those things and you have to find something to work and help that.
346
00:21:02,800 --> 00:21:04,280
You know what I'm saying?
347
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:05,280
So that's important.
348
00:21:05,280 --> 00:21:06,280
You know what I'm saying?
349
00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:10,160
This is another thing too, right?
350
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:16,120
You have, you only have one life to live.
351
00:21:16,120 --> 00:21:22,800
Now, how much effort you put into this life is very important.
352
00:21:22,800 --> 00:21:25,200
Now, let me be honest.
353
00:21:25,200 --> 00:21:29,680
Here's a very blunt situation.
354
00:21:29,680 --> 00:21:30,680
Talk soon.
355
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:31,680
Okay.
356
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:51,760
So, it's a guy that I know personally who pays this attention and obvious that this
357
00:21:51,760 --> 00:22:05,420
is not something that is ever going to come across me ever again, especially from black
358
00:22:05,420 --> 00:22:06,760
to black.
359
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:15,760
I will, and this is for the, as I said, the work ethic of an individual period.
360
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:20,760
For every individual who's listening to me now, don't take me as if I'm attacking.
361
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:22,720
Take me as I'm showing love.
362
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:25,080
I'm going to tell you why.
363
00:22:25,080 --> 00:22:29,280
Because sometimes we'll be going through something and we won't even pay attention to what we're
364
00:22:29,280 --> 00:22:36,240
going through because of the aspects of where we're trying to get our mental to be.
365
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:43,120
Meaning, if I'm having problems at home and I come here to do work like this, if my mind
366
00:22:43,120 --> 00:22:50,560
is constantly on what's at home, what I'm doing here and trying to put all this together,
367
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:52,320
something is going to crash somewhere.
368
00:22:52,320 --> 00:22:56,400
It's going to run off the road.
369
00:22:56,400 --> 00:23:03,400
Now, to him, what I want him to know is take care of your family.
370
00:23:03,400 --> 00:23:07,280
Take care of you right now.
371
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:09,080
That's important.
372
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:13,400
You're messing up the whole entire situation of what you got going around you because you're
373
00:23:13,400 --> 00:23:18,680
not paying attention to the details of what you're doing personally.
374
00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:24,040
Take time to disassemble yourself from everything you got going on and take care of what's the
375
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,080
one thing that is mainly important.
376
00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:34,960
The music, the podcasting, the entertainment stuff will never go away.
377
00:23:34,960 --> 00:23:35,960
Never go away.
378
00:23:35,960 --> 00:23:38,840
If it's something that you got to take care of family-wise, if it's something that you
379
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:42,920
got to take care of personally-wise, take care of that.
380
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:44,440
Take care of that.
381
00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:51,200
Stop crashing out on folks because of the way that you feel.
382
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,960
This is black to black, too.
383
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:53,960
It's real talk.
384
00:23:53,960 --> 00:23:56,640
People that are black will do this a whole lot.
385
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:02,120
They'll take out their frustrations on an individual for a reason of, one, like I said,
386
00:24:02,120 --> 00:24:05,120
it's personal.
387
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:08,320
As a person, you can only fix something that's personal by yourself.
388
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:09,800
You have to fix it on your own.
389
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:10,800
Can I say that?
390
00:24:10,800 --> 00:24:11,800
Yeah.
391
00:24:11,800 --> 00:24:19,760
Also, think about it, when you attack another black man or a black woman, remember, what
392
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:25,120
you're going through, they might be going through are even worse than you.
393
00:24:25,120 --> 00:24:29,560
Don't never assume what looks good on the outside and what you see.
394
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:31,840
You don't know what people are going through.
395
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,720
You don't know how we could help each other talk about each other problems.
396
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,080
I tell you my problems.
397
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:42,080
You tell me your problems, where somebody is just listening, not criticizing you and
398
00:24:42,080 --> 00:24:43,080
judging you.
399
00:24:43,080 --> 00:24:44,080
You know what I'm saying?
400
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:48,960
But if you just come attacking, what makes you think somebody is going to want to listen
401
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:49,960
to you then?
402
00:24:49,960 --> 00:24:55,560
If you come and just talk, we all could just talk like adults and be grown, everything
403
00:24:55,560 --> 00:24:57,360
will work out, I feel.
404
00:24:57,360 --> 00:24:58,360
You know what I'm saying?
405
00:24:58,360 --> 00:25:01,520
So you have to put your personal to the side.
406
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:02,520
This is towards him, too.
407
00:25:02,520 --> 00:25:04,560
It ain't no issues or no problems.
408
00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:11,480
As black people, it's good for us to be able to talk and channel our emotions because that's
409
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,160
what we're known for.
410
00:25:14,160 --> 00:25:19,840
We're emotionally wrecked sometimes, as they put it.
411
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:22,320
We go based off feelings.
412
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:27,560
Sometimes feelings can get you in the wrong position or get you hurt by yourself.
413
00:25:27,560 --> 00:25:29,680
I've learned that the hard way.
414
00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:34,640
You got to lose it all, lose something to get humbled again and realize, okay, look
415
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:37,280
in the mirror, what am I doing wrong?
416
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:38,560
What am I saying wrong?
417
00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:39,560
My approach.
418
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:44,160
Maybe I look mean, the reason why people don't want to come around me and my approachable.
419
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:47,840
You got to think of all this stuff.
420
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:49,600
That's history, though.
421
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:51,120
We have a history of that.
422
00:25:51,120 --> 00:25:52,120
That's the thing.
423
00:25:52,120 --> 00:25:53,200
I'm trying to crush that history.
424
00:25:53,200 --> 00:26:03,320
I'm so tired of the combativeness that it's like I can really cut it off fast, but at
425
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:08,760
the same time, I don't feel that cutting it off actually ends it because that's what we
426
00:26:08,760 --> 00:26:10,560
do, for one.
427
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:17,440
Black people, we run from a situation instead of just facing it, even if it is the real.
428
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:24,200
You always say somebody always has a problem with truth, and sometimes it's medicine that
429
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:33,160
ain't good because it hits you, but at the same time, it's not going to go downhill.
430
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:35,560
It's going to have to go up sooner or later.
431
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:36,560
It's only there to help you.
432
00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:38,080
It's only there to make you better.
433
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:39,400
The sickness goes away.
434
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:42,000
It just takes time.
435
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:43,320
It don't taste good either.
436
00:26:43,320 --> 00:26:48,000
The truth might not taste good, but it's going to help you.
437
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,280
It's going to fix you.
438
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:51,280
Patience is a hard thing.
439
00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:52,280
That old school remedy.
440
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,800
You take them drugs.
441
00:26:55,800 --> 00:27:00,960
Patience is a thing that some people that could go 50 years before they figure out how
442
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,040
to get to that part to be patient.
443
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,040
Everybody don't get that early in life.
444
00:27:07,040 --> 00:27:12,560
It's not a thing for everybody to have patience, and it's the reason why it's that way because
445
00:27:12,560 --> 00:27:16,600
if we didn't have the patient people, we wouldn't know what patience is.
446
00:27:16,600 --> 00:27:19,600
My thing is, like you say, it runs in our history though.
447
00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:20,600
Yeah, that's my DNA.
448
00:27:20,600 --> 00:27:24,920
Us as black people, but we know better too.
449
00:27:24,920 --> 00:27:26,240
We know we was raised right.
450
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:33,800
We know we would get whooped, beat, in the store, in front of your teachers, the class.
451
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,640
We know better when we do things.
452
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:37,640
That's not true.
453
00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:39,760
We know when we do something, it ain't right.
454
00:27:39,760 --> 00:27:40,760
Definitely.
455
00:27:40,760 --> 00:27:41,760
Deep down.
456
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:47,680
If our mothers seen us on social media talking how we talk, I was saying how they wouldn't
457
00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:48,680
approve of it.
458
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,000
Most majority of black parents' mothers wouldn't.
459
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:52,880
I'm going to just be real.
460
00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:57,200
They'll tear you up.
461
00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,200
That's another thing.
462
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:03,800
A lot of people are living these lives that their history, they didn't raise them to be
463
00:28:03,800 --> 00:28:04,800
that way.
464
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:08,120
Our history, our ancestors didn't raise us to be fools.
465
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:10,520
They raised us to be smart.
466
00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:14,240
Raised us to be respectful, yes ma'am, no ma'am.
467
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:16,040
That's how I was told.
468
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:19,720
I used to get popped in my mouth.
469
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:20,720
Forget a whooping.
470
00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:25,360
I said something at the Thanksgiving table, disrespectful in front of the whole family.
471
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:29,120
Mom swiped me in my mouth in front of the family.
472
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:30,840
You know what I'm saying?
473
00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:31,840
It wasn't even a pain.
474
00:28:31,840 --> 00:28:32,840
It was an embarrassment.
475
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:37,560
That was just her showing, I don't care where you at, who you in front.
476
00:28:37,560 --> 00:28:38,600
You be disrespectful.
477
00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:39,600
You can get it.
478
00:28:39,600 --> 00:28:42,960
You can get it.
479
00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,760
You got to learn that way or you going to learn the hard way.
480
00:28:45,760 --> 00:28:47,200
You going to crash out.
481
00:28:47,200 --> 00:28:51,440
Fortunately, some people have to crash out in order to get the message.
482
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:54,720
They have to lose everything to get the message.
483
00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,440
It's sad.
484
00:28:58,440 --> 00:29:00,760
That teaches lesson.
485
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:08,320
That lesson is always going to be one of the good ones.
486
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:14,080
Going through hard moments and especially, again, the black community.
487
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:21,440
We see stuff way too... We got to readjust our mentality and understand that things can't
488
00:29:21,440 --> 00:29:22,440
be different.
489
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:27,000
Things can't go a little different if you just put a little effort in.
490
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:29,120
Don't overlook the small.
491
00:29:29,120 --> 00:29:31,760
Even if it's the thing of you got to downsize.
492
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:33,120
Downsize.
493
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:36,640
You don't want to work out here in the real world, but you go to prison and work for 30
494
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:37,640
cents out.
495
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:38,640
Kill yourself softly.
496
00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:39,640
Kill yourself softly.
497
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:40,640
Be thankful for the things you have.
498
00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:51,640
Like Walu said, be thankful you able to walk in the refrigerator, get it going, open the
499
00:29:51,640 --> 00:29:52,640
refrigerator.
500
00:29:52,640 --> 00:29:57,960
Be thankful you able to... For transportation, you able to get up when you want to, go out
501
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,120
when you want to.
502
00:30:00,120 --> 00:30:04,200
You work a job, but like my mom said, they can't hold you all day.
503
00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:05,960
They can't hold you forever.
504
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,840
You give them eight hours, you're gone.
505
00:30:07,840 --> 00:30:08,840
How many hours?
506
00:30:08,840 --> 00:30:12,920
They can't hold you, and you have that choice.
507
00:30:12,920 --> 00:30:16,400
But think about if you didn't have that choice.
508
00:30:16,400 --> 00:30:18,080
The same thing with our ancestors.
509
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:25,320
Think about if we didn't have these choices, what they paved, the way they paved and sacrificed
510
00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:27,560
for us to be able to have this.
511
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,480
Think about that.
512
00:30:29,480 --> 00:30:38,800
So, now, Black History Month is officially coming to a close.
513
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:41,800
When is the last... Yeah.
514
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:47,000
This is the last Thursday of the month.
515
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Perfect.
516
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,000
We are... Yeah.
517
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:53,000
See, 24th.
518
00:30:53,000 --> 00:31:00,280
A little bit shy, but again, this still close us out.
519
00:31:00,280 --> 00:31:02,400
We should do a special.
520
00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:04,400
It'll still close us out.
521
00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:08,080
We'll definitely be on something by then.
522
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:12,920
But again, this still just put that staple... This is important too, man.
523
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:13,920
You know what I'm saying?
524
00:31:13,920 --> 00:31:17,880
That staple of approval, that staple in that Black History Month to say that we actually
525
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,960
spoke on it and did our part.
526
00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:21,960
I'm proud of that.
527
00:31:21,960 --> 00:31:22,960
I'm proud of it.
528
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:23,960
I'm proud of it.
529
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:24,960
I'm proud of it.
530
00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:28,960
It's in the part... Because you can go so many ways with this,
531
00:31:28,960 --> 00:31:32,080
especially the Black community.
532
00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:34,320
We need to hear stuff like this.
533
00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:35,800
Share is share alone.
534
00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:46,080
A lot of us will be definitely... We'll definitely be on to the next visionary of understanding.
535
00:31:46,080 --> 00:31:47,880
Next month, we'll bring in some Black topics.
536
00:31:47,880 --> 00:31:52,160
We'll do some things to push our Blackness.
537
00:31:52,160 --> 00:31:53,640
Just to do things even more.
538
00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:56,520
It ain't got to just be for the gist of the month.
539
00:31:56,520 --> 00:31:58,720
Like I said, I wear that sweatshirt.
540
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:00,480
Black History 24-7, 365.
541
00:32:00,480 --> 00:32:02,880
It's something I always talk about.
542
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,880
But again... Every day, all day.
543
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:06,200

We want black individuals that's doing something big.
576
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,720
You got a podcast, clothing line, you sell candles, whatever.
577
00:33:15,720 --> 00:33:20,400
I'm realizing when I'm putting this in there, people are reaching out.
578
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:22,800
Young lady reached out to me today.
579
00:33:22,800 --> 00:33:25,840
Got some big things I don't want to talk about.
580
00:33:25,840 --> 00:33:28,160
She's doing a little thing, movement.
581
00:33:28,160 --> 00:33:29,160
I'm doing a movement.
582
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:31,920
I brought this to her attention.
583
00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:36,520
I'm going to be sending her some clothes from my clothing line so she can rock that.
584
00:33:36,520 --> 00:33:40,840
If you got any clothes, y'all let me... I'll rock your stuff.
585
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:42,360
We broadcast it, whatever product.
586
00:33:42,360 --> 00:33:44,400
You got hats and whatever.
587
00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:45,600
I'm saying we'll rock it.
