139
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,000
of those original eight officers

140
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
who joined the force

141
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,000
so

142
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,000
shout out to

143
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:06,000
him as well that's all I can say

144
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,000
I'm sticking within these government roles

145
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
y'all hear what I'm saying

146
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,000
something that's dealing with the government dealing with the city

147
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:14,000
there could be forces

148
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,000
you know you could be a force

149
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,000
even in police office if that's what you

150
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
choose to be I'm not hating on nobody because there's some good

151
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:22,000
police officers out here not all y'all

152
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,000
dirty not all y'all bad

153
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,000
but again there's another

154
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
way to get yourself into the seat of

155
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
city council and to make a change

156
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
work you know

157
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
again but

158
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
but a lot of nowadays

159
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
a lot of the good officers you know

160
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:40,000
they try to push out of

161
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,000
the branch unfortunately like you know with

162
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:44,000
the biggie remember dudes trying to sign

163
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
a biggie case and

164
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,000
they didn't want that to be disclosed

165
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,000
and they kicked can't fire him

166
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:52,000
it's a lot of shadiness going on

167
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:54,000
police force and

168
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,000
yeah definitely

169
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:58,000
and here's another

170
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,000
here's another situation

171
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:02,000
that I wanted to bring up me being

172
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:04,000

174
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,000
very recently and I wanted to bring this

175
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:10,000

00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:48,000
after staging

195
00:06:48,000 --> 00:06:50,000
a sit in at a segregated

196
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,000
lunch counter at

197
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
McCrory's Five and Dime store on Main

198
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:56,000
Street in Rock Hill South Carolina

199
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:58,000
which is about maybe

200
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:00,000
less than five minutes from my house

201
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:04,000
the friendship nine refused to

202
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,000
bail out of jail instead

203
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,000
serving 30 days of hard

204
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:10,000
labor to draw attention to the

205
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,000
cause of integration look how deep that

206
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
let's thank let's pause there for

207
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,000
a minute would you spend

208
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,000
30 days in jail for the cause

209
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:20,000
of black people

210
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:22,000
would you spend 30 days

211
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:24,000
would you spend 30 days

212
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:26,000
in jail for the

213
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
cause of black people

214
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,000
to make things better or to make

215
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,000
a point for the situation

216
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,000
of who black people are

217
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
back then yeah back

218
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
then yeah back then I would

219
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:40,000
now probably not cause

220
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,000
most black people don't even believe in it themselves

221
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:46,000
like it's sad

222
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
you know what I'm saying you have to

223
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,000
that's a big that's a big sacrifice

224
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:52,000
nowadays you know like definitely

225
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,000
yeah back then they were more

226
00:07:54,000 --> 00:07:56,000
appreciative and it was I'm not

227
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:58,000
down in the community now but

228
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:00,000

saying the morals and respect

231
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:06,000
just went down yeah yeah it's all

232
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000
off yeah

233
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:10,000
the group was

234
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
the first the group

235
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
was the first group of students to ever

236
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:16,000
refused to pay bail according to

237
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
the french of nuns website

238
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:20,000
check that out

239
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,000
the organization says the group

240
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,000
decided to do this

241
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:26,000
because it was costing a hundred dollars

242
00:08:26,000 --> 00:08:28,000
or more to bail African American

243
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:30,000
students out of jail after getting arrested

244
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:32,000
for sitting at white

245
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000

the decision to be taken

248
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:40,000
to jail was done both

249
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,000
to make a statement

250
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,000
and to save civil rights groups

251
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,000
money the organization

252
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,000
says the group has

253
00:08:48,000 --> 00:08:50,000

281
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:46,000

287
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
is part of the black to a lot of things

288
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:00,000
that uh we see

289
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:02,000
now like today

290
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:04,000
um wasn't originally planned

291
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
how the originators

292
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,000
made it created it they didn't want us to use

293
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,000
it in the wrong ways

294
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,000
um I know this is very

295
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:14,000
popular right now

296
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:16,000
um I wanted to bring up

297
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:18,000
a situation to freak-nique for people

298
00:10:18,000 --> 00:10:20,000
that ain't saw that

299
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,000
so it was an

300
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,000
annual spring break festival in

301
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,000
Atlanta Georgia it was initially

302
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:28,000
attended by students

303
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:30,000
enrolled at historical black

304
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,000
colleges and universities in Atlanta

305
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
University Center it began

306
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
in 1983 as a small picnic

307
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:38,000
in a public park near the

308
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,000
Atlanta University Center sponsored by

309
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:42,000
the DC Metro Club for

310
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:44,000
students who could not afford to

311
00:10:44,000 --> 00:10:46,000
return home for spring break

312
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:48,000
so

313
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,000
I read a little bit and I watched

314
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,000
the documentary um they created

315
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
this and what they would do is

316
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:56,000
a lot of people would you know

317
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
sell food sell items

318
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
and they would come up with money

319
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
you know I'm saying from selling these things

320
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,000
and people would associate get

321
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:06,000
together have a good time music

322
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,000
and stuff like that um

323
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,000
that's how

324
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:12,000
freak-nique came about

325
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:14,000
fast forward

326
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,000
it became more of a destructive

327
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:18,000
thing uh they start you know

328
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,000
sexual

329
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:22,000
things started

330
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,000
attending the whole purpose

331
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
of giving kinda

332
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,000
went out the window the purpose of what

333
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:30,000
it was started for and created for

334
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,000
um you know went out the window

335
00:11:32,000 --> 00:11:34,000
and it became more

336
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,000
sexual activity driven

337
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
you know what I'm saying and more

338
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
destructive than

339
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
profiting so uh

340
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:44,000
I say that to say this

341
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
um I think the

342
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,000
original people

343
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:50,000
the people that created these things

344
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
should come out and

345
00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:54,000
voice their opinions and

346
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:56,000
make their story more known

347
00:11:56,000 --> 00:11:58,000
and maybe it'll shed

348
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:00,000
another light on things that probably

349
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000
are looked at that wasn't looked at

350
00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:04,000
that way in the past um

351
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,000
I wanna ask you

352
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:08,000
do you think original

353
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
if they're alive they should come out and speak out

354
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
on things you know like

355
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
especially if it's not

356
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
represented in the way they attended

357
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
it to be or should they just

358
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,000
turn the other cheek and just be

359
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:22,000
like well that's just how it was

360
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,000
like that's just how it go

361
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:26,000
we created it you know

362
00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:28,000
they just took it around with it

363
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,000
you know should they support it or should

364
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,000
they be like no we didn't

365
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
intend for it to be like this

366
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:36,000
people have their own

367
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
entitled to their own things or what they

368
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,000
feel

369
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
the freak nick stands for

370
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,000
yeah

371
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,000
sad to say the name stands for

372
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:52,000
a lot to be honest

373
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,000
it's

374
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:58,000
freak

375
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:00,000
loot

376
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,000
think about it it's a thing

377
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:04,000
it's a thing of

378
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
of

379
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,000
it's always going to be

380
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:10,000
if you have

381
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:12,000
if you put a name on it that's what it's

382
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,000
gonna end up being whatever that name is

383
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
you know that's branded as

384
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,000
freak and originators the ones

385
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,000
where it started out just as an innocent

386
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:22,000
little picnic yeah came over

387
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:24,000
with this name didn't even think about the

388
00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:26,000
impact of the name how it would affect

389
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:28,000
it and I think

390
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
that's more probably the thing they probably

391
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:32,000
if they would come out

392
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000
and speak up and talk about it yeah

393
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:36,000
it would be nice to know

394
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:38,000
but I think

395
00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:40,000
that it's such a thing that it's been taken

396
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
downhill

397
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
and looked at it stamped the stamp of

398
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
approval on it now is way different

399
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:48,000
than what they thought it was gonna be

400
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
I think they might want to keep their hands

401
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:52,000
off of it you know what I'm saying

402
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:54,000
I really think they want to keep their hands off of it

403
00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:56,000
because it's nothing wrong

404
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:58,000
to say that we have

405
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:00,000
these things that we could look up

406
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:02,000
you know I'm gonna look it up now just to see

407
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,000
who

408
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:06,000
in the world

409
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,000
but want to like

410
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,000
actually say that it was a thing of oh

411
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,000
I originated it

412
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:14,000
and what like

413
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:16,000
main freak me yeah

414
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,000
you couldn't come up with another

415
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,000
I mean it's a hard I mean but the way

416
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:22,000
the way they started out doing

417
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
was nothing freaky about it it has to be

418
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:26,000
somebody young

419
00:14:30,000 --> 00:14:32,000
but I know they were black though the ones

420
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
I seen a little documentary they were black

421
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,000
who created it

422
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:38,000
black kids college kids

423
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
the young yeah you know the word freak

424
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
that gives you that you gonna

425
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,000
you gonna know that

426
00:14:44,000 --> 00:14:46,000
from the junk

427
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:48,000
that is the new

428
00:14:48,000 --> 00:14:50,000
let's see a lot of the people

429
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:52,000
that the problem

430
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,000
is now is they running into this thing

431
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:56,000
of uh

432
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:58,000
with it being in Atlanta

433
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,000
Atlanta has this

434
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,000
this thing that it's like

435
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:04,000
everybody

436
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:06,000
upholds what goes on in Atlanta

437
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:08,000
and it's a situation on

438
00:15:08,000 --> 00:15:10,000
like okay if you was in Atlanta at that time

439
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:12,000
you understand what freak next up for

440
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:14,000
that's what I think really could really

441
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:16,000
I think the name

442
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,000
kind of threw it out the name destroyed

443
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,000
it because

444
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:22,000
and that's another thing we talked about episodes

445
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:24,000
ago yeah

446
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:26,000
remember like how branding

447
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:28,000
how you brand something think be wise

448
00:15:28,000 --> 00:15:30,000
like the

449
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
name the slogan of what you choose or something

450
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
down to that so Spelman

451
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,000
College so yeah it was

452
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:38,000
it was conceived in March

453
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:40,000
1982 before I was born

00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,000
College campus

in a DC Metro club meeting

457
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:48,000

458
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:50,000

462
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,000
I don't even know how

463
00:16:00,000 --> 00:16:02,000
but Goodson is the last name

464
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,000
it was sponsored by the club

465
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:06,000
which was composed by

466
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
students from Washington DC

467
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
Maryland and Virginia the DC Metro club

468
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
intended for it to be challenged

469
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:14,000

470
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,000

the school year party

472
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
Goodson suggested the name Freaknik

473
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:22,000
then spelled

474
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:24,000

yeah

508
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:32,000
they wanted to basically

509
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:36,000
be a freaky picnic

510
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,000
that's what that

511
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:40,000
that's basically why it's called freak nick

512
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,000
freaky picnic

513
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:44,000
freak nick

514
00:17:44,000 --> 00:17:46,000
so that's how it became

515
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:48,000
so they was on some freaky stuff

516
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,000
evidently so

517
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:52,000
but in that documentary

518
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:54,000
was trying to make it all innocent

519
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:56,000
are we just selling good with some college kids

520
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,000
they couldn't afford to go home

521
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:00,000
so we tried to do an event to make some money

522
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
but see that's why i'm saying you gotta tell the whole story

523
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,000
so they saying the name

524
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,000
freak nick

525
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:08,000
the name freak nick was inspired by

526
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:10,000
le freak by

527
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,000
chic

528
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000
le freak say chic

529
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,000
freak nick

530
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,000
a popular song and dance from 1978

531
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
first song in john a white

532
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,000
park in atlanta

533
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:24,000
basically having a good time

534
00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:26,000
in april 1982 it was attended by

535
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000
at most 150 students

536
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
okay look now i see the

537
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
because the song

538
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:34,000
they probably made it in a party way

539
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,000
freak out

540
00:18:36,000 --> 00:18:38,000
freak say chic

541
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,000
so they probably made it as a party way

542
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,000
but you see how it could get

543
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:44,000
thrown off just by the name

544
00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,000
think about the people

545
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,000
as i said how people change

546
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,000
what those things the way the world

547
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:52,000
people change it not you know

548
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,000
the goal was

549
00:18:54,000 --> 00:18:56,000
that but then because

550
00:18:56,000 --> 00:18:58,000
the group came in

551
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
certain people certain acts started coming in

552
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,000
and switched the face of it

553
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:04,000
to live crew yep

554
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
all them switched the whole face of it

555
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:08,000
so hey hey

556
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,000
you think about it

557
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000
black the black community

558
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
has had

559
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
a bunch of different ways to do and go at

560
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000
a lot of this stuff i mean we don't

561
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
we're not the only ones that probably have

562
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
talked about freak nick but at the same

563
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,000
that this same token of talking about it

564
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,000
like no like a lot of people probably

565
00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:28,000
didn't talk about that

566
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
didn't bring up the situation oh what did freak nick

567
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:32,000
mean to you what did it what was it

568
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,000
in the 80s okay then what did it

569
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:36,000
turn to by the 90s and that's the

570
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
thing and i think it stereotypes

571
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:40,000
blacks because like i said i

572
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,000
told you my situation i just came

573
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
from a block party

574
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,000
yesterday and you know

575
00:19:46,000 --> 00:19:48,000

576
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:50,000
was doing anything bad you know

577
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,000
everybody enjoying themselves and police

578
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
just came and harassed everybody big guns

579
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:56,000
and everything cleared it out

580
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
so i guess they're not used to black

581
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:00,000
folks just getting together

582
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000

584
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
some chaos going on

585
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:08,000
anytime even if somebody

586
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:10,000
gets a little loud they think it's trouble

587
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
like it might be screaming for

588
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
enjoyment but it's just

589
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,000

00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:21,000
so you were making some money everybody

652
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:22,000
depended on barbers

658
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:34,000
over the years if nothing else

659
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:36,000

in the black community

665
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:48,000
has taken a seat to

666
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:50,000
hard headedness

667
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,000

what i feel is business savvy

673
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,000
meaning

674
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:06,000
finding creative language that nobody is doing

675
00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:08,000
and

676
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,000
run it up

677
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:12,000
we all love to do the same thing

678
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:14,000
we love to do the same thing

679
00:23:14,000 --> 00:23:16,000
we put a million

680
00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:18,000
bojangles in the same city

681
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,000
nothing new

682
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:22,000
everybody want to close a store

683
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:24,000
everybody want to sell shoes

684
00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,000
everybody wants to open a sports store

685
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:28,000
open a motorcycle store

686
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:30,000
these are all things that

687
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,000
people want to open

688
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:34,000
in an area

689
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,000
or sell cars

690
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:38,000
so how your business gonna thrive you got

691
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:40,000
the choices the same as yours

692
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
and some people don't even

693
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
don't even associate

694
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:46,000
well with their

695
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,000
business and they don't even know that this is the case

696
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:50,000
they just feel like oh i can do this

697
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:52,000
wait a minute

698
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:54,000
on the business side of it how good are you

699
00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,000
really how good are you

700
00:23:56,000 --> 00:23:58,000
at oh i can sell

701
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,000
cars but you might be good

702
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:02,000
but like i said the competition

703
00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:04,000
you competing with all these other

704
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:06,000
companies do the same thing

705
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:08,000
you gotta go in sports and it ain't even your product

706
00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:10,000
it's just too much

707
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,000
competition nobody gets down

708
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:14,000
to yours and you have to try yours

709
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:16,000
and stand out

710
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:18,000
i think that comes down to

711
00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:20,000
like i said

712
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:22,000
how much do you know

713
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:24,000

like what give me

715
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:28,000
let me ask you a question how many

716
00:24:28,000 --> 00:24:30,000
black businesses do you think there are

717
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:32,000
in states of North Carolina

718
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
i'ma be honest

719
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:36,000
i don't know what number

720
00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:38,000

721
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:40,000
that i personally have walked in

722
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
ran by

723
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
white folks

724
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,000
either Chinese, Japanese, Asian

725
00:24:48,000 --> 00:24:50,000
you know i classify them in the same

726
00:24:50,000 --> 00:24:52,000
like Asians

727
00:24:52,000 --> 00:24:54,000
Asian, White

728
00:24:54,000 --> 00:24:56,000

people running

732
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000

733
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:06,000
i don't know

734
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:08,000

00:26:10,000 --> 00:26:12,000
basically saying

767
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,000
they know how to sell

768
00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:16,000
to us

769
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
because we ain't going to think about it

770
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:20,000
we just going to go in there and eat

771
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,000
but you know that's the hardest

772
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,000
thing that i feel we suffer from

773
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,000
is taking

774
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:28,000
we take away from our own

775
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:30,000
we

776
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:32,000
we won't support the black businesses

777
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,000
we support it but we don't know how to

778
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,000
start them

779
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:38,000
so for example i feel like

780
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,000
we could start a

781
00:26:40,000 --> 00:26:42,000
a mom and pop

782
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:44,000
pop up restaurant right

783
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,000
because the case of

784
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:48,000
we know what we want

785
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,000
we can go to a restaurant, we know how we want that

786
00:26:50,000 --> 00:26:52,000
restaurant to serve us right

787
00:26:52,000 --> 00:26:54,000
but we won't even go take a chance

788
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000
to start our own restaurant because we feel like oh it just costs

789
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,000
too much to do that right

790
00:26:58,000 --> 00:27:00,000
it really doesn't cost a whole lot

791
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
in the mentality of the right person it doesn't cost a whole lot

792
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:04,000
it cost a whole lot

793
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,000
to say that yeah i need a whole

794
00:27:06,000 --> 00:27:08,000
lot of money to go get this but

795
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:10,000
you don't know who's

796
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:12,000
willing to help back you up

797
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,000
help you get your

798
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
business started if you don't take

799
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:18,000
chances and try those avenues

800
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:20,000
there are so many investors out

801
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,000
here and in the case

802
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:24,000
of let's talk about it

803
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:26,000
businessmen, businesses

804
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:28,000
if you're a businessmen and this is why I basically

805
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:30,000
talk about especially along with getting your LLC's

806
00:27:30,000 --> 00:27:32,000
right, if you take the

807
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
chance to

808
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:36,000
be and want

809
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:38,000
to be a businessmen right

810
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
the biggest thing you could do at being

811
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:42,000
a businessmen is

812
00:27:42,000 --> 00:27:44,000
finding people

813
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
like minded with you

814
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:48,000
that's ready to go

815
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
meaning

816
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:52,000
investors are great to have

817
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:56,000
but how do you know what investors to go

818
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,000
knock on when it comes to somebody to invest your business

819
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:02,000
and put money behind you

820
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,000
to help you push your business

821
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
so you saying they gotta believe in what you're doing

822
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:08,000
over the money

823
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:10,000
over the money that somebody just invested money into

824
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,000
and then they gotta know that it's gonna make money

825
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:14,000
cause see the reason being is like I said

826
00:28:14,000 --> 00:28:16,000
same as believing in it cause if you don't believe

827
00:28:16,000 --> 00:28:18,000
it's gonna work then you're gonna be hesitant

828
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000
to support that business

829
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
there you go

830
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,000
that's the part that I'm saying

831
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,000
know when you gonna

832
00:28:26,000 --> 00:28:28,000
jump into a business

833
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,000
jump in it with confidence

834
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
jump in it, learn it

835
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:34,000
learn it so well that

836
00:28:34,000 --> 00:28:36,000
when they talk to you or ask you about it

837
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
once you give them the knowledge

838
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
and the what you want and what you need

839
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:42,000
they like oh yeah here you go

840
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:44,000
there you go

841
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:46,000
sometimes they don't even want a dollar back from you

842
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
they just want to see it thrive

843
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,000
you know

844
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,000
and we don't think like that

845
00:28:52,000 --> 00:28:54,000
we think it's gonna cost some money

846
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
that because we always are

847
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,000
stuck in the dollar

848
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:00,000
we done forgot about the dream

849
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,000
we done started thinking about the dollar

850
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:04,000
we don't even want to think about the dream no more

851
00:29:04,000 --> 00:29:06,000
that's deep

852
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:08,000
that's my thing

853
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
that's why most businessmen don't

854
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
I think most businessmen never get anywhere

855
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:14,000
because they lose a dream

856
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:16,000
because they gotten

857
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,000
sucked up into the dollar

858
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
keep digging for investors if you don't

859
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
having money before it's time to invest

860
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:24,000
so you see the dream and punching the clock working for somebody

861
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:26,000
you see they dream

862
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:28,000
you're working for their dream

863
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:30,000
that's what you're doing

864
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,000
you're working for their dream

865
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:34,000
you're just basically taking care of yourself

866
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
that's it you're not taking care of your dream

867
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:38,000
unless you're putting something into your dream

868
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:40,000
but listen but once

869
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:42,000
debt goes

870
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:44,000
you lose debt what do you have

871
00:29:44,000 --> 00:29:46,000
you don't have a home

872
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:48,000
you say you're working for their dream

873
00:29:48,000 --> 00:29:50,000
you put your dreams on hold

874
00:29:50,000 --> 00:29:52,000
all the way aside

875
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,000
you put your dreams

876
00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:56,000
all the way

877
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
aside it's easy to put your

878
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
dreams aside when you're

879
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000
broke

880
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:04,000
it's easy to do

881
00:30:04,000 --> 00:30:06,000
because you need the money

882
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:08,000
but the case of a businessman

883
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
a businessman ain't sitting up there just constantly

884
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:12,000
yeah a businessman wants to make money but at the same time

885
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
he loves the dream part

886
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,000
of it too so he gonna make money and

887
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:18,000
chase that dream he gonna love the dream

888
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:20,000
you fall in love with the dream as they say fall in love with the dream

889
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:22,000
man fall in love with it with that

890
00:30:22,000 --> 00:30:24,000
part of the dream and that's gonna motivate

891
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
you to get that money and put it into

892
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
that dream to continue to keep

893
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,000
going it won't slow down

894
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:32,000
in your mind you won't be like man

895
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:34,000
I ain't slowing down if I slow down this

896
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,000
ain't gonna happen and that's the case what usually

897
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:38,000
just happens people slow down

898
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:40,000
and just stop due

899
00:30:40,000 --> 00:30:42,000
to the case of how expensive

900
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:44,000
a dream can be

901
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:46,000
so an expensive

902
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:48,000
dream though

903
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:50,000
is always going to

904
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:52,000
it's gonna work out

905
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,000
it's gonna work out everybody ain't gonna be able to do it

906
00:30:54,000 --> 00:30:56,000
but again the strongest

907
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:58,000
will survive that's the only thing I say

908
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:00,000
only the strongest will survive only the strongest

909
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,000
gonna keep pushing only the strongest gonna keep showing

910
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,000
up only the strongest gonna keep whatever

911
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:06,000
happens even if it fails and keeps

912
00:31:06,000 --> 00:31:08,000
failing like I was talking about a couple episodes

913
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:10,000
back failure get used to

914
00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:12,000
failure get used

915
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,000
to it cause it's gonna happen

916
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:16,000
but the case is what you do when you

917
00:31:16,000 --> 00:31:18,000
fail is going

918
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:20,000
to be the next part

919
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:22,000
so we have successful businessmen

920
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,000
we have successful black businessmen that have

921
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:26,000
paved the way for us

922
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:28,000
shown us

923
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:30,000
given us let us see it

924
00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,000
let us feel it let us touch it

925
00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:34,000
we can do the same thing

926
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
just be creative in it

927
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:38,000
stop doing what Joe

928
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:40,000
Smoke doing down the street

929
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:42,000

930
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:44,000
do it better than he's

931
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000
doing it make it taste better than what his

932
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:48,000
tastes better than cut better than

933
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:50,000
his cut let your material

934
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:52,000
your cloth your clothes be way different

935
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,000
than theirs I was about to get into that

936
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:56,000
the entertainment whatever it is like

937
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:58,000
everything is over saturated man everything

938
00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,000
sounds alike looks alike

939
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:02,000
and

940
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,000
the interest is going out the window

941
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:06,000
and that's why you see

942
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:08,000
folks canceling tours you see

943
00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,000

00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
though like a lot of them ain't

954
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:32,000
over saturated

955
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,000
this is a saturated

956
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:36,000
situation period not even just

957
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:38,000
music people black people

958
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:40,000
find your inventive space

959
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:42,000
find your creative space

960
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,000
and learn to do something

961
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,000
that somebody has not done

962
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,000
that would take you a long way media

963
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:50,000
everything that would take you a long

964
00:32:50,000 --> 00:32:52,000
way

965
00:32:52,000 --> 00:32:54,000
we're 30 minutes in

966
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:56,000
again

967
00:32:56,000 --> 00:32:58,000
another Thursday coming to an end

968
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Friday to morrow y'all

969
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:02,000
have a good weekend

970
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:04,000
those that are

971
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,000
traveling this weekend be safe

972
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:08,000
if not

973
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:10,000
if you're getting close to the

974
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,000
summertime with these kids

975
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,000
April is getting

976
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,000
to a well excuse me

977
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:18,000
May

978
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
is coming to a close

979
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:22,000
but again

980
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:24,000
we have

981
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,000
a very short

982
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,000
one more week after this if I'm not mistaken

983
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:30,000
this will be going until last week of May

984
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:34,000
June

985
00:33:34,000 --> 00:33:36,000
summertime let's turn it up

986
00:33:36,000 --> 00:33:38,000
a notch let's do some

987
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,000
black historians

988
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:42,000
on a different level

989
00:33:42,000 --> 00:33:44,000
I got a couple ideas

990
00:33:44,000 --> 00:33:46,000
but again

991
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:48,000
Father's Day is June too right?

992
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:50,000
it's a lot to

993
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,000
pull out

994
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,000
and a lot to express

995
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:56,000
over the next coming months

996
00:33:56,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Independence Day July

997
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,000
a lot of stuff coming up

998
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:02,000
a lot of stuff to push for history

999
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,000
that can be

1000
00:34:06,000 --> 00:34:08,000
for us Juneteenth

1001
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:10,000
a lot of people just celebrate these things

1002
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:12,000
and don't know the meaning

1003
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:14,000
what they celebrate

1004
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:16,000
Juneteenth is something I'm going to push this year

1005
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
I got a couple angles I'm going to knock out

1006
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:20,000
it's very hard this year

1007
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,000
I didn't have an angle on it the past couple years

1008
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
but I actually have an angle on it this year

1009
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:26,000
I'm gripping it the correct way

1010
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:28,000
so yes definitely going to do that

1011
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000
