00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000 I think a lot of us 30 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000 tend to fall 31 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000 back 32 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000 and we don't really know 33 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000 who really invented a thing 34 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000 in 35 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000 history 36 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000 especially when it comes to black folk 37 00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000 do you know 38 00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000 any of any black 39 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000 inventors yourself? 40 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000 you know somebody you know any? 41 00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000 you just want to hear them 42 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000 cause it's hard 43 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000 to remember a lot of these 44 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000 but a lot of these 45 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000 like the light bulb was invented by somebody black right? 46 00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000 notably a lot of stuff 47 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000 a lot of stuff 48 00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:50,000 what about a weave 49 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000 hair weave 50 00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000 so you have let's start with 51 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000 these 52 00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000 ones that are considered 53 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000 nobody probably knew 54 00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000 were considered probably mediocre but 55 00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000 these are very important 56 00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000 so one of the first ones 57 00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000 man by the name of 58 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000 Benjamin Banneker 59 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000 he was the 60 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000 inventor of the almanac 61 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000 if nobody don't know what an almanac is 62 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000 we don't even really use almanacs like that anymore 63 00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000 those are really 64 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000 more so considerably 65 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000 a thing of the past 66 00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000 some people may still pull out an almanac every here and now 67 00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000 to understand what an almanac could be used for 68 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000 what is it? 69 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000 so let's do 70 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000 the little 71 00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000 so born to 72 00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000 he was born to freed slaves 73 00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000 in 1731 Banneker became 74 00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000 an astronomer 75 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000 author and inventor 76 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000 mathematician and a surveyor 77 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000 he invented some of the 78 00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000 most effective clocks 79 00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000 of his time planned out 80 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000 the city of Washington DC 81 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000 and published six 82 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000 almanacs that each included political 83 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000 and social commentary 84 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000 particularly advocating 85 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000 for the rights of slaves 86 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000 and free blacks 87 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000 another one 88 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000 laser surgery 89 00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000 laser surgical device 90 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000 was created by a black person 91 00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000 her name was Patricia Bath 92 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000 she actually did that in 93 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000 1986 94 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000 for your eyes 95 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000 see who else 96 00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000 blood bank 97 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000 was invented 98 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000 by a black man by the name of 99 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000 Charles Drew 100 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000 let's see who else we got 101 00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000 the modern toilet 102 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000 Thomas Elkins 103 00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000 let's see what else 104 00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000 we got 105 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000 the world's fastest computer 106 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000 Philip 107 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000 Imagwale 108 00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000 I think that's Imagwale 109 00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000 I think that's how he proudly pronounced his name 110 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000 he was born in Nigeria in 1954 111 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000 just to show you how the Nigerians really be doing a lot of big stuff 112 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000 a lot of people 113 00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000 a lot of people didn't know that 114 00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000 I didn't know that 115 00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000 refrigeration machine 116 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000 refrigeration machine was created 117 00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000 by the black man 118 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000 that don't make sense to you man 119 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000 refrigerator 120 00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000 Frederick Jones is his name 121 00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000 yeah 122 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000 Frederick Jones is his name 123 00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000 that makes perfect sense 124 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000 and it was a notable invention 125 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000 for refrigeration 126 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000 for transporting 127 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000 blood, food and medicine 128 00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000 wow 129 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000 this was for World War II 130 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000 as you said the light bulb 131 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000 Lewis Latimer 132 00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000 I know a little bit of my black history 133 00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000 did you have 134 00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000 I know a

they're trying to say here 139 00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000 that was created by a black man 140 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000 by the name of Alexander Miles 141 00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000 yep 142 00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000 he created an automatic device 143 00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000 to open and close elevator doors 144 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000 he had something to do with that basically 145 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000 because of his invention we are able to 146 00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000 enjoy this modern luxury 147 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000 the traffic light 148 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000 the gas mask 149 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000 I know this name 150 00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000 because I had this as a project 151 00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000 one time, Garrett Morgan is his name 152 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:24,000 that was a real special dude right there 153 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000 because the light bulb was very much needed 154 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000 still is 155 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000 definitely 156 00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000 pioneer to open heart surgery 157 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000 black man 158 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000 Daniel Hale Williams 159 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000 and those are the 10 that I'm going to roll with right now 160 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000 but just 161 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000 I'm going to give you 10 more in a minute 162 00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000 but just think about that 163 00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000 for years 164 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000 and years and centuries 165 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000 and centuries 166 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000 there have been inventors 167 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000 and creators 168 00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000 a lot of 169 00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000 men and women of color 170 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000 always 171 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000 and to me I've always said 172 00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000 men and women of color 173 00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000 we always have been 174 00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000 inventors of a lot of things 175 00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000 some stuff don't even get to touch the surface 176 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000 just due to 177 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000 just the way the world moves 178 00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000 or patenting things 179 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000 or getting things patented 180 00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000 a lot of that stuff really counts 181 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000 they don't want to teach it to us 182 00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,000 or our importance 183 00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000 it's a thing of 184 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000 you wonder how much 185 00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000 really 186 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000 was created 187 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000 under the black umbrella 188 00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000 that we don't know about 189 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000 that's basically what I'm saying 190 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000 there's only so many things 191 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000 that can be created now 192 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000 right? 193 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000 if you're creating something now 194 00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000 it has to be ridiculously 195 00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000 informative 196 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000 like you have to really research research 197 00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000 and try to find 198 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000 artificial intelligence 199 00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000 is probably the most 200 00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000 one thing that I feel has really broke the code 201 00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000 to everything 202 00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000 a lot of people don't 203 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000 like AI 204 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000 but like a white person 205 00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000 or whatever 206 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000 that would be a good question though 207 00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000 that's a good question 208 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000 who created AI? 209 00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000 but a lot of people don't have 210 00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000 AI 211 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000 see the hardest part is 212 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000 it's all 213 00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000 computer 214 00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000 slightly generated in a sense 215 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000 but they consider 216 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000 let me see where they got it at 217 00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000 let's see 218 00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000 the first person to do it 219 00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000 is a white man 220 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000 by the name of Alan Turing 221 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000 back in 222 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000 the birth of AI was back in 1950 to 1956 223 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000 he published 224 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000 his work Computer Machinery and Intelligence 225 00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000 which eventually 226 00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000 became 227 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000 the Turing test 228 00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000 which experts used to measure 229 00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000 computer intelligence 230 00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000 the term artificial intelligence was coined 231 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000 and came into popular use then 232 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000 but of course 233 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000 like I said 234 00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000 think how much has changed since then 235 00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000 so from the 50s all the way to now 236 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000 you know 237 00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000 what AI became 238 00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000 now especially with black people 239 00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000 of course creating things 240 00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000 I'm guaranteeing you 241 00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000 there's going to be a lot of creations 242 00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000 through AI 243 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000 that black and 244 00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000 whites will do but more so 245 00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000 the black community 246 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000 what do you feel the black community 247 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000 suffers from 248 00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000 especially as I said 249 00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000 as creators not only just creators 250 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000 but the biggest thing is 251 00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000 for yourself personally 252 00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000 let me ask you for yourself personally 253 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000 what do you feel 254 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000 now about 255 00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000 artificial intelligence and being a 256 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000 creator 257 00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000 it's easier, it's simple 258 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000 technology they give us 259 00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000 we used to talk about this 260 00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000 equipment they give us 261 00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000 it's basically simple 262 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000 you know 263 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000 you have YouTube 264 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000 everything can teach you 265 00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000 basically how to do this 266 00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000 how to use it 267 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000 the old modern people 268 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000 were used to directions 269 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000 that came with the equipment 270 00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000 now you just type 271 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,000 it in YouTube how do I fix this 272 00:09:28,000 --> 00:09:30,000 how do I do this 273 00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000 and it gives you the answer so I think 274 00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000 it's more simple for sure 275 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000 and that's two easy things 276 00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000 to look at too 277 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000 you know you have 278 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000 your brain 279 00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000 and then you have 280 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000 computerized brain 281 00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000 when you put the two together that basically 282 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000 speeds up everything now 283 00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000 moving from 284 00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000 I say the next 15 to 20 285 00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000 years black people 286 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000 are going to have 287 00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000 a hard time understanding 288 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000 certain aspects of life 289 00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000 because of artificial intelligence right 290 00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000 and it's not due to 291 00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000 lack of education 292 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000 it's more so due to 293 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000 what we created as far 294 00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000 as a way of living 295 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000 we become habit of it 296 00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000 it's just a thing of 297 00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000 what it's going to be 298 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000 with such a habit crowd 299 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000 or habit race 300 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000 that it looks as if 301 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000 it's all they do they all do the same thing 302 00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000 well I think in a sense 303 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000 having artificial 304 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000 intelligence can help us a whole lot 305 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000 of instances because 306 00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000 it helps me I like 307 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000 simple because it helps 308 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000 you get more done 309 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000 you get more done if you're 310 00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000 on a productivity timeline 311 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000 or whatever you're trying to do 312 00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000 you know a business you're pushing 313 00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000 you can get more done 314 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000 it's really about getting the quality and the 315 00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000 quantity out there 316 00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000 as fast as you can 317 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000 because that's how the world is 318 00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000 moving so anything that's going to help you 319 00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000 speed the process up 320 00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000 I'm with it 321 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000 that's cause 322 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000 nothing else 323 00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000 we're going to have to work on that part too 324 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000 because 325 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000 so we can 326 00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000 still be labeled as creators 327 00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000 and inventors 328 00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000 because we can invent some things using 329 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000 AI. AI can really help us 330 00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000 be very big in being inventors 331 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000 but we got to learn how to 332 00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000 use it the right way 333 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000 especially like these people 334 00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000 you think about it 335 00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000 what it takes to come up with a light bulb 336 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000 you know what I'm saying 337 00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000 or a toilet 338 00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000 black folks thinking like that 339 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000 nobody would say it to us 340 00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000 like oh you know 341 00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000 black people 342 00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000 wasn't really any artificial intelligence 343 00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000 in them days like when you had to 344 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000 be like a true craft 345 00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000 but most of these black people were like 346 00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000 slaves they were like 347 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000 you know what I'm saying 348 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000 most of them didn't know how to read 349 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000 it was by trial 350 00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000 and error 351 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000 most of them just was good handy people 352 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000 like you see 353 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000 in these slave movies 354 00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000 they didn't know how to read 355 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000 they didn't want you to know how to read 356 00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000 the masters 357 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000 that taught them to step their game up 358 00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000 more and try to use their hands 359 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000 that's where singing came from 360 00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000 being in the cotton fields 361 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000 and humming and stuff like that 362 00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000 harmonizing 363 00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000 to make the day go by 364 00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000 blacks got a lot 365 00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000 of stuff that we created 366 00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000 and I had a party 367 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000 in creating 368 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000 even like sync music R&B 369 00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000 that's another one 370 00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000 that came 371 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000 pacifically from 372 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000 the slaves when they were 373 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000 picking cottons in the field 374 00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000 they would harmonize and hum 375 00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000 so it made sense 376 00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000 we were very talented 377 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000 individuals like 378 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000 paper 379 00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000 Africans 380 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000 chess Africans 381 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000 alphabet Africans 382 00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000 medicine Africans 383 00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000 civilization 384 00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000 Africans 385 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000 aeroplane propellant 386 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000 James S Adams 387 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000 biscuit cutter 388 00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000 planes 389 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000 as they say AERO 390 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000 A-E-R-O plane 391 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000 not like an air 392 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000 considerably not an airplane 393 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000 let's be specific 394 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000 cause the reason why I asked you that 395 00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000 because Kansas Owens 396 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000 she said something about 397 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000 she wouldn't want to get on 398 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000 the plane if it was a black 399 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000 I think they talk about the propeller 400 00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000 the propellers on the airplane 401 00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000 that's going to defeat her message 402 00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000 right there so that's why I asked 403 00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000 they talking about 404 00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000 aeroplane 405 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000 propellant 406 00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000 yeah I think that's what they talking about propellers on the airplane 407 00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000 oh ok, steel you know this 408 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000 what else 409 00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000 the biscuit cutter 410 00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000 of course A-T Ashborn 411 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000 folding bed 412 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000 LC Bailey 413 00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000 the coin changer James A Boyer 414 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000 rotary engine 415 00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000 Andrew J Beer 416 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000 letter box 417 00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000 GE Beckett 418 00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000 long story short 419 00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000 can I say something 420 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000 so but 421 00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000 in this black history month 422 00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000 so basically they want to strip everything 423 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000 a black man or woman has worked for 424 00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000 and say they did it 425 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000 that's basically how 426 00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000 they want to teach us our

00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000 a lot of the generations are tearing apart 648 00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000 due to the younger generations catching 649 00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000 on and like well i

00:22:14,000 let me be honest i was at that point cause 653 00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000 you can't help some 654 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000 you can't help people that ain't trying to help themselves 655 00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000 is how i feel 656 00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000 you know like you can tell 657 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000 somebody something eventually 658 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000 and if they don't it don't click 659 00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000 or they don't want to do it you can't make a person 660 00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000 do something i mean some 661 00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000 people are stuck in their ways unfortunately 662 00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000 but um 663 00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000 yeah like i said you can keep 664 00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,000 you can press it if you want you know what i'm saying 665 00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000 like you say you gotta start somewhere but 666 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000 just know everybody's not 667 00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000 going to follow the lead you know 668 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,000 it's not about following i don't think i don't want everybody 669 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000 to follow i don't want everybody in a sense to say 670 00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000 it's like following lead 671 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000 but families are needed 672 00:22:52,000
