What Characterizes Black History?

WEBVTT

00:00:01.429 --> 00:00:04.570
There's a lot to talk about but you know talk

00:00:04.570 --> 00:00:08.669
about black things And it is a podcast. So, you

00:00:08.669 --> 00:00:11.609
know, we just do things differently, but the

00:00:11.609 --> 00:00:15.330
topic today It's basically since we're coming

00:00:15.330 --> 00:00:23.030
into black history month There's a certain topic

00:00:23.030 --> 00:00:25.309
that I like to talk would like to stick to but

00:00:25.309 --> 00:00:28.289
On venture around us a little bit, but this being

00:00:28.289 --> 00:00:30.429
the first day doing this is something different

00:00:30.350 --> 00:00:38.750
But during the past years, we've been speaking

00:00:38.750 --> 00:00:44.689
on people who are history. We picked out a lot

00:00:44.689 --> 00:00:51.070
of good, good picks, especially in the inventor

00:00:51.070 --> 00:00:57.509
world. You picked out some great people. I picked

00:00:57.509 --> 00:01:00.700
out some great people, I hope to say that. But

00:01:00.700 --> 00:01:05.340
if not, I know that the ones that we picked are

00:01:05.340 --> 00:01:14.579
savoury of time. I know it's three people in

00:01:14.579 --> 00:01:19.500
history that a lot of people like to bring up.

00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:23.480
I'm going to ask you the question, who are the

00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:29.519
three people you feel in Black history that always

00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:33.260
get The head nod, but whether if it's a history

00:01:33.260 --> 00:01:35.900
moment, whether it's a book report, whether it's

00:01:35.900 --> 00:01:39.040
a black history report, who are three people

00:01:39.040 --> 00:01:41.859
that you feel that they that people are always

00:01:41.859 --> 00:01:49.519
going to go for every year? Never fails. Martin

00:01:49.519 --> 00:01:57.180
Luther King. Mm hmm. I think. Because I want

00:01:57.180 --> 00:02:02.650
to be I want to be. Accurate. Yeah, give your

00:02:02.650 --> 00:02:04.290
best. That ain't even got to be perfect. Just

00:02:04.290 --> 00:02:08.270
give the three people you feel. OK, like ones

00:02:08.270 --> 00:02:10.610
that probably wouldn't even know, like young

00:02:10.610 --> 00:02:14.710
kids would even know. Martin Luther King. Uh

00:02:14.710 --> 00:02:26.090
huh. Let me see. Malcolm X, I got to put him

00:02:26.090 --> 00:02:33.120
in there. Definitely. And I'm gonna go, I'm gonna

00:02:33.120 --> 00:02:39.919
go cultural, I'm gonna go sports. I'll even say

00:02:39.919 --> 00:02:43.639
Muhammad Ali. That's another good one. Calling

00:02:43.639 --> 00:02:49.060
out ones that are going to get the head nods

00:02:49.060 --> 00:02:54.520
in this situation. Now, I'm gonna ask one more

00:02:54.520 --> 00:03:06.620
thing. Do you feel that history tries to put

00:03:06.620 --> 00:03:12.759
a limit on what they consider history versus

00:03:12.759 --> 00:03:18.199
somebody that's just a normal person? Like me

00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:23.620
and you, unlike Martin Luther King, unlike those

00:03:23.620 --> 00:03:26.860
names. What's the question again? Can you say

00:03:26.860 --> 00:03:29.259
it again one more time? So it's like how, you

00:03:29.259 --> 00:03:31.800
know, you chose Martin Luther King, you chose

00:03:31.800 --> 00:03:39.300
Mohamed, you chose Malcolm X. All are great people.

00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:44.919
And in the sense of what I'm saying, let me change

00:03:44.919 --> 00:03:48.819
it up some. So at one point, it seemed as if

00:03:48.819 --> 00:03:53.159
they were only giving or paying homage to people.

00:03:53.419 --> 00:03:58.699
who, quote unquote, did something of some greatness,

00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:03.199
meaning... Celebrity status? Yeah, it had to

00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:07.539
carry some weight. And it couldn't just be notified

00:04:07.539 --> 00:04:11.919
as like just... If it was somebody like a hometown

00:04:11.919 --> 00:04:17.379
hero for example. Do you feel that they chose

00:04:17.379 --> 00:04:21.500
history based on that or do you think? Everybody

00:04:21.500 --> 00:04:24.220
is in this shape. No, I think I think they chose

00:04:24.220 --> 00:04:28.560
history on like you say the mainstream the the

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:33.079
main people and That's why I feel like what we

00:04:33.079 --> 00:04:36.720
created this goes into what we do. It was important

00:04:36.720 --> 00:04:42.110
for us to Our goal is to shout out those Forgotten

00:04:42.110 --> 00:04:44.569
heroes and when I say forgotten heroes, I'm talking

00:04:44.569 --> 00:04:47.689
about your local heroes one is right there in

00:04:47.689 --> 00:04:50.050
your community That's doing some amazing things.

00:04:50.050 --> 00:04:53.829
That's a color, you know, like a lot of us don't

00:04:53.829 --> 00:04:56.889
know those people and it's more to the history

00:04:56.889 --> 00:05:01.569
so Yeah, that's your question I think it was

00:05:01.569 --> 00:05:04.269
more day, of course, they would shout out the

00:05:04.269 --> 00:05:07.569
Malcolm X's and the Martin Luther King's and

00:05:07.569 --> 00:05:11.209
this and that but um When you dive deeper into

00:05:11.209 --> 00:05:15.009
it, it's a lot of people across the board is

00:05:15.009 --> 00:05:17.410
doing amazing things. You know what I'm saying?

00:05:17.569 --> 00:05:20.629
It's doing great things right where you live.

00:05:21.089 --> 00:05:26.050
You know, from sports to community work to business

00:05:26.050 --> 00:05:30.930
to you name it, professions, like, that's why

00:05:30.930 --> 00:05:34.689
it's important for us to research, you know,

00:05:34.829 --> 00:05:38.769
educate ourselves and educate the people. Now

00:05:38.769 --> 00:05:43.230
this is something that I've noticed as well to

00:05:43.230 --> 00:05:49.110
put with that. It's a lot of times that I look

00:05:49.110 --> 00:05:52.250
at what they consider quote unquote history.

00:05:53.050 --> 00:05:55.949
It had to do, I mean, and it's nothing, nothing

00:05:55.949 --> 00:05:57.810
to the sake of saying what everybody else did

00:05:57.810 --> 00:06:02.029
wasn't considered. It was considered highly sought

00:06:02.029 --> 00:06:06.089
after or, you know, it had to be something of

00:06:06.139 --> 00:06:08.720
great feature, it had a great feature to it.

00:06:08.720 --> 00:06:12.500
And the reason why I say that is meaning if it

00:06:12.500 --> 00:06:16.279
didn't fall into a political world. Yeah. And

00:06:16.279 --> 00:06:20.420
this is the reason why I'm bringing these up.

00:06:20.480 --> 00:06:22.920
And then you just gave my point, my perfect point

00:06:22.920 --> 00:06:28.680
to why we do what we do. So. Everything that

00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:32.399
we bring up doesn't have a guideline, which is

00:06:32.399 --> 00:06:35.759
what I want. Right. There was no lines to it.

00:06:37.920 --> 00:06:41.920
being a well, if it were a hierarchy or low,

00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:45.240
it doesn't matter. Right. And I think that that's

00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.540
how a lot of the history was basically graded.

00:06:49.660 --> 00:06:51.319
Because in a sense, is this that's what they

00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.160
did is like almost under the grading system,

00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.279
where I look at a lot of stuff that was invented.

00:06:56.759 --> 00:06:59.060
And whether it was an invention or whether it

00:06:59.060 --> 00:07:01.560
was just somebody that just did something great,

00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:04.600
but they wanted to bring greatness to or bring

00:07:04.600 --> 00:07:10.490
the light to. Was the ones that were under that

00:07:10.490 --> 00:07:14.649
Under that light and they leave they leave parts

00:07:14.649 --> 00:07:18.329
of the history out. Let me add it They leave

00:07:18.329 --> 00:07:20.949
parts of the history out and when I named those

00:07:20.949 --> 00:07:25.889
those key figures Malcolm X wanted the king Muhammad

00:07:25.889 --> 00:07:30.949
Ali I Will add though they didn't touch on the

00:07:30.949 --> 00:07:33.610
history as much as they should have they didn't

00:07:33.610 --> 00:07:37.670
tell as much as the history that was possible

00:07:37.670 --> 00:07:42.089
to be told because I feel like in America, they

00:07:42.089 --> 00:07:46.910
try to make it to where black culture has to

00:07:46.910 --> 00:07:49.149
fit in with every culture, it seems like. We're

00:07:49.149 --> 00:07:52.329
the only culture that has to involve everybody

00:07:52.329 --> 00:07:56.649
else. And everybody else has to feel comfortable

00:07:56.649 --> 00:08:00.269
about the black culture, a part of our history.

00:08:00.470 --> 00:08:04.800
And the key word is our history. Yeah. So everything

00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:07.819
can't be about other races. Some things are just

00:08:07.819 --> 00:08:11.680
about the black culture. And in schools and stuff

00:08:11.680 --> 00:08:14.339
like that, of course, they're going to like tell

00:08:14.339 --> 00:08:16.259
you the basics, but they're not going to tell

00:08:16.259 --> 00:08:19.980
you the real facts of what these people did.

00:08:20.959 --> 00:08:23.180
And you know what I'm saying? As long as it makes

00:08:23.180 --> 00:08:25.779
them look good, anything that will hurt their

00:08:25.779 --> 00:08:27.339
image, you know, they're going to leave that

00:08:27.339 --> 00:08:31.000
out. You know, anything that will uplift us even

00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:34.080
more, they're going to leave that out too. So

00:08:34.080 --> 00:08:37.700
if it's anything that's for us and if it's anything

00:08:37.700 --> 00:08:40.860
against them Oh, they're gonna leave that history

00:08:40.860 --> 00:08:43.100
out, you know, and they're just gonna give you

00:08:43.100 --> 00:08:46.240
the basic What's going on? It's your boy Dwarne

00:09:49.460 --> 00:09:56.220
that would actually hear this moving, let's say,

00:09:56.299 --> 00:10:03.179
let's say 20 years from now, right? Is it important?

00:10:04.720 --> 00:10:07.980
What you see now, meaning everything that you

00:10:07.980 --> 00:10:10.279
witness, everything that you've gone through

00:10:10.279 --> 00:10:14.899
and that you've read about that it has shaped

00:10:14.899 --> 00:10:19.179
the black culture in some type of way. Do you

00:10:19.179 --> 00:10:22.929
feel that it's important that they know What's

00:10:22.929 --> 00:10:28.529
going on? Yeah, man. Yeah, yeah I did an episode.

00:10:28.669 --> 00:10:31.950
I did an episode of I believe his name was Chris

00:10:31.950 --> 00:10:37.230
Smalls from New Jersey the Amazon worker that

00:10:37.230 --> 00:10:40.409
went on strike created a organization because

00:10:40.409 --> 00:10:44.350
they Amazon wanted them to work during kovat.

00:10:44.350 --> 00:10:48.309
It was a Situation in New Jersey. I know his

00:10:48.309 --> 00:10:50.789
name. Mr. Smalls. I call him. I forgot his first

00:10:50.789 --> 00:10:53.740
name I don't want to get it incorrect, but he

00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:56.100
was in New Jersey and they was making him work,

00:10:56.100 --> 00:11:01.279
you know, in COVID, during COVID time. And I

00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.519
think what those are important because I feel

00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.960
like those are relatable issues of people of

00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:13.000
color that people like me or the generations

00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.120
to come will grow up and they will have to be

00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:19.220
put in these situations. Like we speak on realistic.

00:11:19.610 --> 00:11:23.110
These are realistic situations and it just so

00:11:23.110 --> 00:11:26.870
happens to be black figures making history also

00:11:26.870 --> 00:11:30.529
So everybody can relate to a job not taking care

00:11:30.529 --> 00:11:32.789
of their workers. Everybody can relate to a nine

00:11:32.789 --> 00:11:35.929
-to -five where they feel like Safety isn't a

00:11:35.929 --> 00:11:39.990
concern. It's all about Productivity, you know,

00:11:40.190 --> 00:11:42.470
like it just snow here and I know a lot of companies

00:11:42.470 --> 00:11:45.210
were still wanting workers to come in So that

00:11:45.210 --> 00:11:48.090
stuff is relatable like that's history to me

00:11:48.240 --> 00:11:53.299
you know something that kids will face also and

00:11:53.299 --> 00:11:56.600
see like there's a way out there's things you

00:11:56.600 --> 00:11:59.279
can do you can use your voice you can do this

00:11:59.279 --> 00:12:02.299
and do that if you don't agree with it so that's

00:12:02.299 --> 00:12:06.360
why I think pointing out those underground heroes

00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:09.580
I call them are important and I'm gonna say this

00:12:09.580 --> 00:12:14.759
to those that you know these these people the

00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:21.649
people that we are Getting a chance to See and

00:12:21.649 --> 00:12:27.070
read about like were Amazing amazing things amazing

00:12:27.070 --> 00:12:29.230
people. Yeah, you can tell the most smartest

00:12:29.230 --> 00:12:36.549
people you can imagine I don't ever want anybody

00:12:36.549 --> 00:12:41.509
To think of what they're doing to be a little

00:12:41.509 --> 00:12:44.649
is not nothing to smile never little nothing

00:12:44.649 --> 00:12:50.820
to smile is especially under our culture lines.

00:12:51.159 --> 00:12:55.379
If you do it, always carry a big torch with it.

00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:58.419
Don't ever carry it as a small torch. Always

00:12:58.419 --> 00:13:01.220
remember that it can make a difference. Even

00:13:01.220 --> 00:13:04.580
if it makes a difference in a very small community,

00:13:04.919 --> 00:13:07.279
that's still something that is very big. Don't

00:13:07.279 --> 00:13:09.179
ever look at it as everything is supposed to

00:13:09.179 --> 00:13:11.100
touch the world. Sometimes things aren't meant

00:13:11.100 --> 00:13:14.000
to touch the world. That's considered an invention.

00:13:15.139 --> 00:13:18.620
prolific or anything that's considered to be

00:13:18.620 --> 00:13:24.539
big, but don't ever take your ability and look

00:13:24.539 --> 00:13:27.360
at it as small. Even if you're just a small town

00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:30.100
worker doing something, even if it's within your

00:13:30.100 --> 00:13:33.019
job, even if it starts there, don't ever look

00:13:33.019 --> 00:13:35.120
at it as small. If somebody ain't did it before,

00:13:35.379 --> 00:13:38.419
or if it's something that you brought to a table,

00:13:38.960 --> 00:13:42.830
be considered, always look at it. as a big thing.

00:13:43.269 --> 00:13:45.269
I always say, let me add this, believe in what

00:13:45.269 --> 00:13:48.649
you're doing. Yeah. If you believe in it, you're

00:13:48.649 --> 00:13:51.929
not like, that's the thing. The best ideas and

00:13:51.929 --> 00:13:55.009
the best creations come from people that were

00:13:55.009 --> 00:13:57.529
just passionate and believed in what they were

00:13:57.529 --> 00:14:00.690
doing. If it's something that you really truly

00:14:00.690 --> 00:14:03.230
feel in your heart that should be done and be

00:14:03.230 --> 00:14:07.690
said, then that's when you know it's successful.

00:14:08.029 --> 00:14:10.509
It's already successful once you believe in it.

00:14:10.620 --> 00:14:14.820
Like, if it affects you and you want change from

00:14:14.820 --> 00:14:16.720
it, you're going to do what you want. You're

00:14:16.720 --> 00:14:18.360
going to do what you have to do to make change.

00:14:18.500 --> 00:14:20.899
Like, we talk about adventures. Like I said,

00:14:21.059 --> 00:14:25.279
a lot of adventures were created based off the

00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:29.080
fact of not having. They wanted things. You know

00:14:29.080 --> 00:14:32.659
what I'm saying? So sometimes that hunger for

00:14:32.659 --> 00:14:36.480
more will make you come up with the greatest

00:14:37.759 --> 00:14:40.600
Creativities are, you know, the greatest ideas,

00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:43.639
you know, and I think that's what a lot of the

00:14:43.639 --> 00:14:46.700
black history came from. Like, it just came from

00:14:46.700 --> 00:14:50.500
a lot of desperation of people, strong -minded

00:14:50.500 --> 00:14:53.340
people that wanted better, wanted more. And that's

00:14:53.340 --> 00:14:56.259
just the conclusion to it. I feel like if you

00:14:56.259 --> 00:14:58.399
want more, you're gonna do more. You're gonna

00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:01.039
do something to get you out of a situation. You're

00:15:01.039 --> 00:15:04.480
not gonna stay stuck. Any real human being that

00:15:04.480 --> 00:15:06.340
wants more you're gonna do what you have to do

00:15:06.340 --> 00:15:09.340
to get out from where you from and Sometimes

00:15:09.340 --> 00:15:12.220
those build great creations that hunger that

00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:17.019
drive determination Add into that to the clothes

00:15:17.019 --> 00:15:21.340
that clothes with it, you know Just remember

00:15:21.340 --> 00:15:26.960
You know people like us are rare to find right

00:15:26.960 --> 00:15:32.669
actually rarely care about what us blacks do

00:15:32.669 --> 00:15:36.850
and have done and us to continue to do and to

00:15:36.850 --> 00:15:40.870
continue to grow. So if you, I've said this before,

00:15:40.970 --> 00:15:43.429
if you know somebody or if you've discovered

00:15:43.429 --> 00:15:46.750
somebody, something that's under our cultural

00:15:46.750 --> 00:15:50.769
walls, send it this way. If you have already

00:15:50.769 --> 00:15:54.009
created something, any kind of type of content

00:15:54.009 --> 00:15:56.549
about it, hit us up, show us, let us know too.

00:15:56.720 --> 00:16:01.299
This is our DNA, bro. This is us. At this point,

00:16:01.460 --> 00:16:04.100
this ain't no gimmick. This what you see is what

00:16:04.100 --> 00:16:07.480
you get. And we two passionate brothers that

00:16:07.480 --> 00:16:11.200
believe in this program that we do, man, this

00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.100
belief that we have, I know personally I do.

00:16:15.899 --> 00:16:20.710
And just reading, educating yourself. I want

00:16:20.710 --> 00:16:23.789
to throw that in there, educate yourself, educate

00:16:23.789 --> 00:16:27.789
your mind, read, read, read, because once you

00:16:27.789 --> 00:16:31.210
read, it opens your mind, it opens your thoughts,

00:16:31.450 --> 00:16:36.029
and you dream bigger, and it's things that you

00:16:36.029 --> 00:16:40.370
wouldn't even imagine that were important, and

00:16:40.370 --> 00:16:41.649
you know what I'm saying, that you didn't think

00:16:41.649 --> 00:16:44.769
were important, and you know, and it'll change

00:16:44.769 --> 00:16:47.029
that whole perspective, it takes over you, so

00:16:47.029 --> 00:16:50.580
this is all real. Like, we don't do this for

00:16:50.580 --> 00:16:53.759
the clout. We don't do this for, you know, the

00:16:53.759 --> 00:16:56.759
money. We do this because it's in our hearts,

00:16:56.759 --> 00:17:00.759
and we really enjoy the history. And most importantly,

00:17:00.899 --> 00:17:04.740
we like learning the history of our people. And

00:17:04.740 --> 00:17:07.880
we like giving what we learn to the people, our

00:17:07.880 --> 00:17:11.700
people. So that's part of the program, man. I

00:17:11.700 --> 00:17:13.160
just want to throw that in there. This ain't

00:17:13.160 --> 00:17:15.920
no front. This is us, not just music podcasts.

00:17:16.140 --> 00:17:20.069
We'll be staying on, man. You know, it's in us.

00:17:20.329 --> 00:17:25.609
So, yeah. All right. Definitely. I want you all

00:17:25.609 --> 00:17:29.789
to stay tuned. Stay locked in. You need help.

00:17:30.490 --> 00:17:33.650
Always ask for help. Reach out for it. Look for

00:17:33.650 --> 00:17:37.130
it. Search for it. There's always willing, a

00:17:37.130 --> 00:17:41.009
willing person, a willing situation that can

00:17:41.009 --> 00:17:45.789
help. Autism community. I love y 'all. It's always,

00:17:45.789 --> 00:17:49.130
you know, Keep your head up. Stay motivated.

00:17:50.009 --> 00:17:53.230
You know, keep everybody in the loop of what

00:17:53.230 --> 00:17:56.250
they need to know and what can be learned. All

00:17:56.250 --> 00:17:58.930
this stuff goes a long way. So at the end of

00:17:58.930 --> 00:18:02.970
the day, Not Your Music podcast. Q, you got any

00:18:02.970 --> 00:18:06.309

stay concentrating, and never consider anything

00:18:26.440 --> 00:18:29.140
you do as a small thing. Think of everything

00:18:29.140 --> 00:18:33.660
that you do. Every day you wake up is a great

00:18:33.660 --> 00:18:38.920
opportunity to do something great. Love. All

00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:41.579
