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

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
first Charlotte
185
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:22,000

187
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
