in the building is having and enjoying life

24
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,000
we were just talking about this

25
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
again failure

26
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,000
you have to go through

27
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:04,000
failure if you're not going through failure

28
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,000
you're not learning

29
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,000
a lot of y'all seem to think that life is just

30
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:10,000
supposed to be breeze and

31
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:12,000
mommy and daddy is supposed to take care of everything

32
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:14,000
and you know we never

33
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,000
get out here and take tries and

34
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:18,000
learn to fail because

35
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,000
your parents failed their

36
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,000
parents failed and

37
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,000
the only way they learned is from their failures

38
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:26,000
and a lot of these

39
00:01:26,000 --> 00:01:28,000
generations now have changed the

40
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:30,000
course of that to make

41
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,000
it seem as if failure is

42
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,000
only supposed to go or be one side

43
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:36,000
and it's not and they don't know what to do

44
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
when they fail or when a failure

45
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,000
situation appears

46
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
confused

47
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
run scared

48
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
what am I going to do

49
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,000
most of the times I think

50
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,000
a lot of this can be settled

51
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:54,000
if we can just like I say

52
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
learn

53
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:58,000
stop taking

54
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,000
the L's is a

55
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,000
it's over

56
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:04,000
life can't be

57
00:02:04,000 --> 00:02:06,000
over that fast I mean if you

58
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:08,000
really think about it especially

59
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,000
if you're like 21

60
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,000
22

61
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000
and that phase of my life was

62
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
very courageous

63
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Dwan and Dwan thought he could

64
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,000
do it all what about you Q

65
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:22,000
yeah that was

66
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,000
my crucial times

67
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,000
I was trying to find myself

68
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
around that time you know that's when you're trying

69
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,000
to find yourself you're trying

70
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:32,000
to you know figure out

71
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
you know

72
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:36,000
becoming a man you know

73
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:38,000
relationships, girls

74
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
start getting into that

75
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
start nibbing and dabbing into

76
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,000
some things too you know that Jane

77
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Posey be doing

78
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,000
thank God I ain't getting into the drugs

79
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
I never was a smoker or a drinker

80
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:52,000
so I ain't deal with that

81
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:54,000
you know women

82
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,000
was my problem I got into

83
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
little problems with women but

84
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000
yeah I was kind of

85
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
you know wet behind the ears at that

86
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,000
age you know I had to

87
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
my 20's is

88
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,000
I think I drove my momma through hell in my 20's

89
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
like made her nervous that was like my

90
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
crucial years that

91
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,000
you know my momma was kind of worried about me

92
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
like this boy I don't know what

93
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
happened

94
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,000
but yeah I had a

95
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:22,000
I had a

96
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:24,000
little I ain't gonna go with this today of course

97
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
I'm still in my

98
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,000
black

99
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,000
in my history book man

100
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000
you know y'all black

101
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,000

102
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:36,000
I'm gonna give it to you

103
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,000
just

104
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,000
the expectancy

105
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
of the turnout of what

106
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
history has

107
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
given

108
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
this podcast is actually

109
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
satisfying

110
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
to think that nobody would be thinking about it

111
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
but to see that y'all really do

112
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
appreciate somebody

113
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:58,000
talking about

114
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,000
history I mean I know y'all we give y'all

115
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
real life situations here and there

116
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:04,000
and just real life talks

117
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
go through stuff we feel things we say things

118
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
we go and we talk about it

119
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:10,000
then here are those

120
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:12,000
moments when

121
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
here is this

122
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:16,000
moment now again

123
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,000
we have a chance to talk about

124
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:20,000
history I've been

125
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,000
unfolding and I finally

126
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:24,000
need to start putting them out cause I got a lot of

127
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000
podcasts that I have not released just

128
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000
due to how much content

129
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,000
I just want to create versus just

130
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,000
when I just drop it I'm gonna release a lot

131
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000
of it at one time but

132
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
I want it to be a certain level

133
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
of

134
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:40,000
of content that

135
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,000
people that y'all can really digest

136
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:44,000
cause a lot of y'all really cannot

137
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,000
you know

138
00:04:46,000 --> 00:04:48,000
getting the wrong kind of information or the wrong

139
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,000
kind of education nowadays

140
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,000
y'all are misguided

141
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:54,000
misinformed

142
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:56,000
is understanding being misguided

143
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
is a lot of that is going to be due to

144
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
like I said who's in your life

145
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
if you don't have the right people in your life to put this stuff in

146
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
your life I mean what can

147
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
you do? Hey but it also

148
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
starts with self choice too man

149
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
you still gotta have some

150
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
a little bit of common

151
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
sense up there like

152
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
this don't seem right this

153
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
seem off I might need

154
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
to look into this you know

155
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
common sense I'm not saying no at all

156
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
but you gotta have some common sense though

157
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
that instinct that gut

158
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
feeling you know

159
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
well at least I have it. Definitely

160
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
something ain't right

161
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
some people

162
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
don't have it man. It's cool

163
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
and we gonna learn

164
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
we gonna learn stuff y'all but anyway

165
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
I'm gonna keep this laptop turned

166
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
you know slightly sideways

167
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
my dad's laptop and

168
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
there's a sticker on the back of it

169
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
that I really don't want to be seen

170
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
with me so

171
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
that's why it's turned sideways like this

172
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
it's not to promote them in any

173
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
manner it's a

174
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
cowboy sticker just so y'all know

175
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
and I don't do Dallas Cowboys

176
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000
so you know

177
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
he does

178
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
definitely he'll watch it and know that I've had it turned sideways

179
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000
love you daddy

180
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:12,000

181
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,000

182
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,000
nice to throw in right there though

183
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:18,000
had to let that be known

184
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:20,000

00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000

00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
more of these black

188
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:28,000
history

189
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,000
history people

190
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:32,000
that we don't know about

191
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,000
ones that probably none of y'all

192
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,000
thought to even look up that I just decided

193
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,000
you know what I'm gonna look it up

194
00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,000
the crazy part of looking it up is very

195
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:42,000
small avenues

196
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,000
to find or look up

197
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
about black

198
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
history in Charlotte

199
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
so the crazy

200
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
part is that now that I actually did

201
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
one video we did one

202
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
video and then

203
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
there's a couple of few videos that

204
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
I point to actually history

205
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,000
there's this situation

206
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
that one from Charlotte actually made its way

207
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
into the Charlotte search now

208
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
so if I search black

209
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
history in Charlotte

210
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
that video associates with

211
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
that search now so it lets me know that getting

212
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
in that lane is probably an open lane to do that

213
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
so

214
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
again all in doing your

215
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
learn

216
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
some stuff y'all with your businesses

217
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
go learn some stuff see if somebody

218
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
is actually already out there doing what you're doing

219
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
don't go jump in that lane because that's a saturated

220
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
market so they see that whole video that we did

221
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
that whole episode they can search it

222
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
if it's searched it's within the search

223
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
category and that was a powerful

224
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
episode too so just to point out

225
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:42,000
you know that's just

226
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
a tidbit for those that do

227
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
content and create content and make it

228
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
create your own lane, jump in your own lane

229
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
do it until you can find that lane

230
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
that everyone it could be respected

231
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000
one, two, is

232
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
fresh something that you could do a lot

233
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
of

234
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000
but anyway here we go Charlotte

235
00:08:00,000 --> 00:08:02,000
Charlotte Charlotte Charlotte

236
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
in the city of Charlotte

237
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
a lot of people

238
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
understood especially my mom and my dad

239
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
they were around during the time of

240
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
the era of

241
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
when schools were segregated

242
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
and then when they broke the whole situation

243
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
of segregation

244
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
one of those people

245
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
her name was

246
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Dorothy Counts Skaggins

247
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
I think that's how you

248
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
pronounce her last name Dorothy Counts Skaggins

249
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
integrated

250
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
Charlotte Public Schools

251
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
on September 4th, 1957

252
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
she was one of

253
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:38,000
four black students who integrated

254
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
Charlotte's public schools

255
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
as she entered Harding High

256
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Harding High School it's over there on the west side

257
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
throngs from

258
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
people

259
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:52,000
who opposed

260
00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,000
school's integration hurled

261
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:56,000
racial slurs to her

262
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,000
spit at her

263
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:00,000
threw rocks at her

264
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:02,000
although her stay

265
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,000
was very short

266
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,000
at Hardin

267
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
and we're talking really short

268
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:10,000
she only lasted four days at the school

269
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:12,000
but

270
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,000
photos of her

271
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:16,000
courageously walking into school

272
00:09:16,000 --> 00:09:18,000
rallied black

273
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000
people nationwide to push officials

274
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,000
to reinforce the landmark

275
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Brown vs. Board of Education

276
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:26,000
decision which

277
00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:30,000
declared segregation in public schools unconstitutional

278
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:32,000
so she made an impact

279
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,000
in four days

280
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
that's powerful

281
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,000
just walking in

282
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,000
wow, that's deep

283
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:42,000
I go to the show

284
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:44,000
the little bit of time we have

285
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000
the moment you have you never know

286
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,000
what use it to the best you can

287
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:50,000
you know that moment

288
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:52,000
put your best foot forward

289
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:54,000
you never know

290
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000
how impactful it could be

291
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
one day

292
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000
I can tell from

293
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
there's one picture

294
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
I'm going to pull up

295
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
I pull it up somewhere within

296
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
this video screen

297
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
just know that

298
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
this one was actually

299
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
big for Charlotte

300
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
think about it

301
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
Hardin being one of those schools

302
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
that a lot of people

303
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
probably even never knew

304
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
that even went on there

305
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
in the littlest bit of knowing

306
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
that much though

307
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
that the black community

308
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
that surrounds Hardin

309
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
it makes sense

310
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
to certain situations

311
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000
certain schools, certain areas

312
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
and certain locations

313
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
how we rallied

314
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
as black people

315
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
to become and take over a lot of these areas

316
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
I'm sure you'd probably like that

317
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
and probably in states with too

318
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
and we'll get into that history too

319
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
after a while

320
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
but again

321
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
there are a lot of

322
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
black

323
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
situations that are overlooked

324
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
in North Carolina

325
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
period

326
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
but this is one of them

327
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
that is like okay

328
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
how you never

329
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
get to really hear about it

330
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
I was in school in the 80s

331
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
90s

332
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
and I graduated in 2001

333
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000
I never heard of this lady

334
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
they never brought this up

335
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
they never

336
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
announced black history

337
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000
it's never here

338
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
this is what you need to know

339
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
this is the first person to do this

340
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
they don't talk about that stuff

341
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
they won't talk about it

342
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
and again it makes sense

343
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
that's why I won't get talked about

344
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
and it'll probably make us

345
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
more motivated

346
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
more educated

347
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
and that's the part that I miss

348
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
our identity

349
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
and your identity

350
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000
and the realization of who we are

351
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
that's

352
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
definitely

353
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
a big breaking situation

354
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
another person

355
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
this is a person

356
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
I feel should be

357
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
recognized too because a lot of us didn't know it

358
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
I'm going to put it up

359
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
right here

360
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
a lot of us probably never

361
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
seen or known

362
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000
well we've probably seen the Mecklenburg County

363
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
Seal

364
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
a lot of people

365
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
probably didn't know that a black man

366
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
made

367
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
that symbol

368
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
so we're going to shout out Harvey Boyd

369
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
for

370
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
in 1964 Matthews Harvey Boyd

371
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
was a 20 year

372
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
old designer in the Charlotte

373
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Observers Ad Department

374
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
when he saw a solicitation

375
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
for designs for an official

376
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Mecklenburg County Seal he threw his hat

377
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
in the ring and created an iconic

378
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
emblem that featured

379
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:54,000
imagery from the county's past present

380
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
and likely future

381
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
he won and now that

382
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
seal is

383
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
emblazoned

384
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000
countywide

385
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
he still lives

386
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
in Matthews today

387
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
wow

388
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
that's crazy right

389
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
his name is Harvey Boyd

390
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
again

391
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
he's from Matthews

392
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
and he's still alive but just remember this

393
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
if you see Harvey Boyd

394
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
if y'all know who Harvey Boyd is

395
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
I want to get him on here

396
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
that would be a dope situation

397
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
if y'all can get Harvey if y'all know who Harvey Boyd is

398
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
and if Harvey Boyd is

399
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
still available to me

400
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
please Harvey won't you

401
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
I would love to

402
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
if I have to come to you

403
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
and sit down with you that's fine too

404
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
because I don't expect you

405
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
to be a young man or not whatever it is

406
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
I honor and respect that so

407
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
if I have to come to you that would be

408
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
totally fine just to sit down and have a conversation

409
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
to understand

410
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
this whole situation in 1964

411
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
because again we were still

412
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
highly in a segregated situation

413
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
so I would love to know what it was like

414
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
what you had to deal with

415
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
to get this seal across and who you had

416
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
to give it to because I know it's in detail

417
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
behind it it would be a dope story to know

418
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
so if y'all know

419
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
who Harvey Boyd is and the Boyd family

420
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
if y'all hear me

421
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
under the sound of my voice if y'all know who Harvey Boyd is

422
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000
and that's your uncle

423
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
that's your granddad that's your great-grandfather

424
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
whoever it is to you

425
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
let him know that

426
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,000
us at Not Just Music Podcast would love

427
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,000
to talk to him

428
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Next

429
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
I want to bring up this situation because

430
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
rarely we

431
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
talk about

432
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
the government in this light

433
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
and I'm going to ask you a question

434
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
before I get into this because I really

435
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
felt I wanted to ask you

436
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
this it just made sense to just be

437
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
like Q was a

438
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
very, very, very

439
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
vocal dude

440
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
and

441
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
you never

442
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
wonder

443
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000
you vocalize a lot

444
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
of opinionated things

445
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
that are not wrong for doing

446
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
it's your opinion. Do you cringe on

447
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
some of the stuff I say? No, I ain't go cringe

448
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000
no, no, no, I ain't go cringe because

449
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
these

450
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
pathways have been

451
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
walked before these shoes have been

452
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
you know people have had

453
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
to have done what you've done

454
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
so it's not like wrong

455
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
for you to do or have those opinions

456
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
like you had those opinions but

457
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
have you ever thought about

458
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
taking the stance of if you can't

459
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
beat them join them meaning

460
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:42,000
have you ever thought about being like a mayor

461
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
have you ever thought about being like

462
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000
what's another lane

463
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000
a city council

464
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:52,000
have you ever thought about

465
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
doing anything

466
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,000
like that

467
00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,000
funny you ask absolutely

468
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
yes, yes. So what's your stance on it?

469
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
I'm see

470
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
this kind of guy I am like

471
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
I hold true to my morals

472
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
I hold true to

473
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
who I am

474
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000
no matter where I'm at you put me in

475
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000
a room full of people that's

476
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
biased against what I believe

477
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
I'm still believe what I believe

478
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
but my thing is

479
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000
I know how to get in those doors

480
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:26,000
with people I know how to rub elbows

481
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,000
with people and once

482
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:30,000
I get in and once you give me a little

483
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,000
position and where I

484
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,000
can have my voice heard

485
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,000
where I can speak for millions of people

486
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:38,000
that feel like me or can't

487
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:40,000
speak or say what they what

488
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:42,000
I want to say or scared to say what I want to

489
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:44,000
say then that's when I take my opportunity

490
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:46,000
and I will become

491
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:48,000
that person I will be

492
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:50,000
who people thought I was Quincy Murdock

493
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,000
I won't change

494
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:54,000
I'll just maneuver

495
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,000
my way into a situation

496
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:58,000
buddy buddy once I get in

497
00:16:58,000 --> 00:17:00,000
you see my true agenda

498
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
yeah so I would love to run for

499
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,000
counselor or something like that

500
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:06,000
Chris Rock in that movie

501
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:08,000
his president had Bernie back as his

502
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:10,000
camera

503
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,000
I mean you know and I can do

504
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,000
and I can hit you with educational stuff too

505
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:16,000
and I ain't got a curse in my speeches

506
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:18,000
you know I can

507
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:20,000
get my point across very intelligently

508
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:22,000
and very educational

509
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:24,000
and I can use real life situations

510
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:26,000
to make those people

511
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,000
you know what I'm saying understand

512
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:30,000
it more than I can hit you with

513
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
the fact area

514
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,000
so whatever way you want to play it

515
00:17:34,000 --> 00:17:36,000
I can play it

516
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
so yeah I think I'll make a good city counselor

517
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000
or spokesman

518
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
or any office thing

519
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
so the reason why I say that

520
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
has reason

521
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
Charlotte especially

522
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
has been known for

523
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000
having black people in those

524
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000
seats right

525
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
shout out my boy Gary

526
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
I need to get Gary

527
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
on here Gary Young

528
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
he's been on city

529
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
council for working around

530
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
the city council

531
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
with the city council and then actually on city council

532
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,000
for as long as I can remember

533
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
I mean he went to school with me

534
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
he graduated actually a year after I did

535
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000
yeah 02

536
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
02 or 03

537
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
one or the other but

538
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
Gary is

539
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
I think his last name is Young

540
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
if I'm mistaken

541
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
one of those kids

542
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
that you knew he would be

543
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000
into something like that

544
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
and actually

545
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000
never lost his credibility to who he was

546
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
like you said

547
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
you don't want to change who you are

548
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
you continue to

549
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
you'll still see brothers in the joints

550
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
you'll see them stepping out

551
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
and going to do things and hitting the city

552
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000
but he's tying himself in

553
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
though because the case of he wants to know what the people need

554
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
and see what the people need

555
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
see what's going on

556
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000
people like

557
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
first person I want to say

558
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
to speak on is Harvey B.

559
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Gantt

560
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
Harvey B. Gantt

561
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
is the first

562
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,000
black mayor of Charlotte

563
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
he actually let me read because

564
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
Harvey Gantt made history

565
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
some of his background

566
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
got a little bit of his background

567
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
before

568
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
what kind of person

569
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000
he was you know what I'm saying

570
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
before that

571
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
his upbringing

572
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000
you can tell his mentality was already on this because

573
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000
look where he came in at

574
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Harvey Gantt made history

575
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
he was elected Charlotte's

576
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
first black mayor

577
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
in 1983 that's y'all born

578
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
but it wasn't

579
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
his first time as a trailblazer

580
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
20 years earlier

581
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
he became the first black student admitted

582
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
to Clemson University

583
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
you know where I'm going with this now?

584
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
this is the parts where

585
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
I say

586
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,000
like you said

587
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:20,000
the lady went into the

588
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:22,000
well she was a young girl then

589
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,000
she entered heart and

590
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:26,000
it was so bad on her for 4 days

591
00:20:26,000 --> 00:20:28,000
but she made an impact

592
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:30,000
you make your point

593
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,000
all it takes is that one

594
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:34,000
all it takes is one episode

595
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,000
one episode

596
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,000
one reel

597
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
it takes just that one

598
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,000
time

599
00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,000
and it's taking off

600
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
you gotta play big

601
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
that risk

602
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000
that risk to go to a predominantly

603
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,000
white school

604
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
Clemson University now y'all

605
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:56,000
down in South Carolina

606
00:20:56,000 --> 00:20:58,000
the Tigerpaw, the Orange

607
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000
he would later

608
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000
co-found

609
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:04,000
get

610
00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:06,000
Huberman

611
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
architects

612
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,000
in 1971

613
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:12,000
and joined Charlotte City Council 3 years later

614
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,000
as mayor he led

615
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:16,000
Charlotte as it adopted

616
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:18,000
its identity as

617
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:20,000
a new South City

618
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,000
as an architect he developed

619
00:21:22,000 --> 00:21:24,000
some of the city's most recognizable

620
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:26,000
landmarks such as

621
00:21:26,000 --> 00:21:28,000
the Charlotte Transportation Center

622
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:30,000
and Friendship Missionary Baptist Church

623
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:32,000
now that's big

624
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
cause anybody that's in Charlotte

625
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
knows about the transportation area

626
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:38,000
the buses, the trains

627
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
downtown Charlotte

628
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
shout out my dad he retired out of Cats

629
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000
and that's a spot

630
00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:46,000
what's the VAS

631
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,000
what's the

632
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,000
center down there

633
00:21:50,000 --> 00:21:52,000
where they hold the

634
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:54,000
epicenter

635
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
yeah that area man

636
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:58,000
yeah dope area right there

637
00:21:58,000 --> 00:22:00,000
downtown

638
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:02,000
a lot of transportation right there

639
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:04,000
he basically

640
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,000
the first situation of

641
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:08,000
Cats probably I remember

642
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,000
especially

643
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,000
when my dad was working

644
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
in my younger years

645
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:16,000
so much has changed with Charlotte

646
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,000
Transit man

647
00:22:18,000 --> 00:22:20,000
the transit system and the bussing system

648
00:22:20,000 --> 00:22:22,000
a lot of the stuff is solid though for what you see

649
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:24,000
before I was like

650
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,000
it's just how much has grown

651
00:22:26,000 --> 00:22:28,000
from that small situation

652
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000
to how big it is now

653
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:32,000
there's people on the streets

654
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
everywhere downtown

655
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000
yup

656
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:38,000
today he remains active

657
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:40,000
in Charlotte's political

658
00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:42,000
scene serving on

659
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:44,000
several business, civic

660
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,000
and philanthropic boards

661
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
so again

662
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Charlotte Harvey began

663
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000
to be a

664
00:22:52,000 --> 00:22:54,000
big part of it

665
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Q I brought that situation up

666
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:58,000
because sometimes some stuff that he did

667
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:00,000
reminds me of how you

668
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,000
feel

669
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
and the things that you feel about

670
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
the black community

671
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
and stuff like that

672
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
I think a lot of us miss out on it

673
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
because we don't have

674
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
those avenues to know

675
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
who do I talk to

676
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
who do I need to

677
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
put myself in front of

678
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
to be able to be a

679
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
mayor or to be

680
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
I would love that too man

681
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000
now that you brought that up

682
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
I would love that go into that field

683
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
look it up

684
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
look it up

685
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
that's why I see this moving on to the next person

686
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
I'm speaking on

687
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000
can I say something

688
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
yeah

689
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
because I feel like

690
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
and this is what I think

691
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
the seats

692
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
in the offices and stuff could use somebody

693
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
that

694
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
people could relate to

695
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,000
they see me

696
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
they can relate to me

697
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
you know what I'm saying

698
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
no disrespect to the city

699
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
councils and people they put

700
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
in the seats but that's why I asked

701
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
about the credibility, their life story

702
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
because

703
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
you gotta put some people that's been

704
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
through some things like some real life

705
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
situations that's gonna understand

706
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
you know the people

707
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
cause that's the main thing what it's about

708
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
and when I speak now

709
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000
I speak because

710
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,000
for one if the people are hurt

711
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000
if the people are doing bad around me

712
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
that's gonna hurt me

713
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
it's gonna affect me so

714
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
that's the mindset I would have as a mayor

715
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000
like you know I'm already thinking

716
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000
the people because I'm not thinking about

717
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
just fixing Quincy I'm thinking about

718
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:42,000
fixing the people around me

719
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
cause if people around me are not good

720
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
I'm not gonna be able to be good

721
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
and proud you gotta think of it that way

722
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
you know what I'm saying

723
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
how can we live in a good world

724
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
with bad people

725
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000
people that's not focused, educated

726
00:24:56,000 --> 00:24:58,000
or willing to learn

727
00:24:58,000 --> 00:25:00,000
so that's I think I'll

728
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:02,000
see I just pitched my vote

729
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
that's why I would be a good Senate

730
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
or something cause I want to see

731
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000
the people win

732
00:25:08,000 --> 00:25:10,000
cause then I will win

733
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,000
and see that's the whole point

734
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:14,000
you have

735
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:16,000
you have the

736
00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:18,000
the ones that

737
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:20,000
can be vocal

738
00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:22,000
and they're not standing on it

739
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:24,000
they're not going to stand on it

740
00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:26,000
the reason why they're not

741
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
gonna stand on it because in case they don't know

742
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000
the right way to do it

743
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:32,000
let me give you an example

744
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:34,000
and this can kinda end this one

745
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,000
I'll get to the next person on the next

746
00:25:36,000 --> 00:25:38,000
next week's episode

747
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,000
you think about it like this

748
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:42,000
there's this one

749
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,000
where people can connect

750
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,000
to the world

751
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:48,000
that they don't use it to the best of their

752
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:50,000
ability

753
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:52,000
meaning you have a platform

754
00:25:52,000 --> 00:25:54,000
like you have a website

755
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,000
like you could take

756
00:25:56,000 --> 00:25:58,000
podcasts

757
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:00,000
into the next level on your own

758
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:02,000
choosing to right because you have a website

759
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:04,000
you have the space to do it

760
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:06,000
you have the platform to do it

761
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:08,000
it's an ability

762
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:10,000
right?

763
00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000
you can take a stand song

764
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
whatever it is you want to take a stand song

765
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
and just run it up

766
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
daily or weekly

767
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
every 2 weeks, every 3 weeks

768
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
twice a week

769
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
however you choose to do it

770
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
you can release it on your own

771
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
it's easy to do now

772
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
in the sense of

773
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000
just think about it

774
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,000
all that stuff that you feel

775
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000
put it on blogs

776
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000
just do it on your website

777
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
you can post it just like how

778
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
podcasting is done

779
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
post it on your blogs

780
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000
it's on your website to be

781
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000
able to upload it

782
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
and have audio cast and everything

783
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
actually chronologically

784
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
how it's done with not just music

785
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000
but at the same time

786
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
you think about it you can use that

787
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
as your guide to get to people

788
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
and use that as

789
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
your way to say okay well look

790
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
I want to be in government roles

791
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
or be in seats

792
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
put yourself out there

793
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
then when it's time to

794
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
get with it and vote

795
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
you have a following

796
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000
you have people that's even if it's small

797
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
but at the same time you can have

798
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
a small following and still be

799
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
and get elected

800
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
anybody can be in these seats

801
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
it's just you gotta put your name in the hat

802
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000
cause yeah that's another

803
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
thing cause I think I need to have that

804
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
that very

805
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
sit down where

806
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
people really understand

807
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
my perspective cause

808
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
like I said sometimes I feel

809
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
like I feel like Kanye

810
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
in ways like how he might say something

811
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
like

812
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
you don't mean no harm by it

813
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
the way you say it might be

814
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:54,000
kind of edgy and it might rub

815
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:56,000
somebody the wrong way but it's a

816
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,000
message in that what I'm

817
00:27:58,000 --> 00:28:00,000
saying like when you go back

818
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
and you look at it like one thing I

819
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
said

820
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
I was using

821
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
porn as an example

822
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
it's this kind of

823
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
degrading porn that white

824
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
men downgrade the

825
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000
black woman and it's on

826
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
camera it's like you know willingly

827
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000
and I would like this reminds me

828
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
of slavery like how the white

829
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
men would you know I'm saying

830
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
like you know rape the black

831
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
woman and stuff like that even

832
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
when she was married to a black man

833
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
and it divided

834
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
the black race and

835
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
it hurt the credibility of

836
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
the black race and for one it made us

837
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
hate ourselves so then we hated

838
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000
each other so I said

839
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000
we spend more time

840
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
as black people attacking black

841
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
and destroying black

842
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
and down talking our own people

843
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
that we're not even mad

844
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
on the people that inflicted the true

845
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
problems and injuries and

846
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
you know and stuff on us and to this

847
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
day they still do it like we

848
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
rather attack our own people instead of attack

849
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
the white man

850
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,000
so that like that one thing

851
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
about porn that's what I'm

852
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
trying to tell you the small thing about

853
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
porn goes to something bigger

854
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
that's what I'm trying to get to the people

855
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
it's not about just porn

856
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
you missed my message when I was saying it

857
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
that I was getting on a bigger message

858
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
like we are

859
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
attacking our own people we're mad at our own

860
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
people we should be mad

861
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
at them the ones that inflicted all

862
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
this miseducation

863
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
on us and raping our

864
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000
wives and you know what I'm saying

865
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
separating us and selling us and

866
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
you know not giving us our history

867
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
now we're mad we don't even know

868
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
who to be mad about or mad at

869
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
we're mad at our own people

870
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
and once we

871
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
can figure that out and know who the

872
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
real problem is I

873
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
think we'll be better as people

874
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000
it'll fix a lot

875
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000
I think still

876
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
to this day

877
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
a lot of us

878
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000
can do better

879
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000
at meaning

880
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
the accountability

881
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000
to

882
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
why things are going the way they

883
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
are

884
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
especially if

885
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
it was coming from a

886
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
I think if it was coming from a governmental

887
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
situation

888
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,000
and it could trickle down

889
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
totally different it's just that the

890
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
small people only gonna

891
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
look at it as if it's a combative

892
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
thing like how you just said it's like

893
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
it was taken the wrong way

894
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
it's always gonna be a thing of

895
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,000
combat it's not gonna be a thing

896
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
of acceptance because people always

897
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
but you as a man if I said it that

898
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
way you get what I'm saying when I

899
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
explained it when I said it on social media you get

900
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,000
where I was coming from right?

901
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
so

902
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
it's just the mentality

903
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
of the acceptance

904
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
whoever's getting the acceptance

905
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
whoever's taking it in

906
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
and accepting it the way they're accepting it

907
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
they're gonna accept it whoever however

908
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
they were raised is how it's gonna come down to

909
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
really to me because I mean

910
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
and I don't hate black women man

911
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
if anything I was trying to educate

912
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
I don't hate black

913
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
women man I don't hate black people

914
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
but the thing of

915
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
it is the only way you

916
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
can help somebody is being honest

917
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
and telling the truth you know what I'm saying?

918
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
I uh it's

919
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000
the thing of taking credibility

920
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
and accepting that we

921
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
can be the change like I

922
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
just asked Q you know

923
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
would you mind being in the government you know

924
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
so again it's

925
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
the accountability

926
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
is definitely gonna come down

927
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
to the people like Q said it's

928
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000
the accountability what we accept

929
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
is what we gonna continue to keep

930
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000
you know we gonna keep following

931
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,000
for that mess every time

932
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
it's easy to follow for it when you're not

933
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
as again trained you ain't

934
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
being trained nobody saying that to you about it

935
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
ain't nobody putting it in your face

936
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000
showing examples how somebody gonna know about it

937
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
won't know so

938
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000
again

939
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
we hope you

940
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000

951
00:32:26,000 --> 00:32:28,000
sense now again to have

a brand to brand ourselves

953
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000

is definitely in me it's more

957
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
to it than just sitting up here talking about it

958
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
I'm definitely gonna show it

959
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
