and baby just dance, thank you, thank you, thank you, if you wanted to know, that one actually
00:02:15.060
is on Spotify, but there's someone else playing the piano in it, so that's a little bit better,
00:02:21.400
better, so anyways guys, thank you for tuning in, I do have to start my show like I normally
00:02:27.960
do, which is you guys can put a word in the chat and I will freestyle, last show, there
00:02:36.300
was really a mix of emotions about the piano in the beginning, some of you said Pearl, we
00:02:42.960
love the piano, we love it, it's great to see this side of you, others of you said, you said
00:02:48.800
Pearl, could you not, and to you I say I'm going to, I'm in my Taylor Swift era, I'm going
00:02:57.480
to double down, one day I'm going to be gliding, you guys, it's going to be beautiful, you might
00:03:02.900
shed a tear pre-show, you might, we're not there yet, but every day you're just going to
00:03:08.040
watch me get better, so I know it's a serious topic today, I thought maybe I shouldn't do
00:03:14.940
the piano, but I just, this is the highlight, I love doing it, so give me the word, Colombian,
00:03:21.460
okay, is it, can it be, okay, I don't know which, let me, let me pick a chord progression,
00:03:28.480
so we might do D, oh I'm better, a bad thing down in Colombia, she got me wandering, I didn't
00:03:41.000
think anything, let me think, hold on, I like the little Latin taste, it makes me want to
00:03:48.560
put on a ring, oh I like this little Colombian, all right, let me see, keep going, keep going,
00:03:59.000
sometimes the words work better than others, so I need you guys to bear with me, one day,
00:04:03.800
one day, imagine, I have all your favorite conservatives in here, and they have to freestyle,
00:04:09.180
they're forced, you have to freestyle to get an interview, yup, it's going to be hilarious,
00:04:17.180
November rain, take music theory, no, so I am doing music theory now, I'll give you the background,
00:04:30.460
I know it, but I'm still like halfway, I'm having trouble getting both hands to move at the same time
00:04:38.460
and maintaining a steady, I'm still on basic stuff, I'm at 1.5 on my piano books, if you were
00:04:45.320
wondering, give me, I'll do one more word, one more word, sorry, halfway through the second one,
00:04:53.340
and then we're going to move on to the show, I guess it would make sense to do the topic, but this is so,
00:05:04.960
I'm tired, so damn tired, why can't we just get along, I'm sitting on a bus, minding my business,
00:05:25.700
I didn't ask for none of this, then I get, seems too, seems so insensitive to sing about that,
00:05:39.840
we, I thought I told a joke, and they didn't take it right, now I guess we are gonna fight,
00:05:56.520
oh black fatigue, we're fatigue, can we get along, please take out the weave, black fatigue, black fatigue,
00:06:15.320
I'll be the villain and say it, that's what you need, oh no you didn't, you know what,
00:06:30.820
I'm so tired of this, I can't make a joke about a weave, really, really, they can make fun of us
00:06:36.900
dancing, they can make fun, they can make fun of anything, they call me, they say, oh, like, you know,
00:06:44.940
I've had, and we're gonna show the clips, do you know the things that have been said about me
00:06:51.000
from black women, I can't make fun of their weave, really,
00:06:54.700
what else are we fatigued about, you can put it in the chat, I'll read it,
00:07:09.400
you know what, the last time, I'll tell you what, I did this freestyling thing,
00:07:14.320
do you want to know how I ended up on Pierce Morgan, if you want this story,
00:07:18.260
I ended up on Pierce Morgan because I wrote a song
00:07:21.500
about the J word, I'm not going to say it, on YouTube, do you know why I did it?
00:07:28.360
and that it wound me up on national television.
00:15:00.040
But those who don't want to focus on education,
00:16:00.920
Uncomfortable when we see too many white people in here,
00:17:47.420
In connection with the death of Austin Metcalf,
00:18:19.540
He pulls out what appears to be a pocket knife,
00:18:21.620
And suddenly stabs the roots gun multiple times,
00:19:02.720
The other day I wanted to play on a volleyball team,
00:19:19.620
I was kicked off of YouTube for a year and a half,
00:20:35.020
Because I am attempting to abide by YouTube guidelines,
00:20:46.400
That does not mean everybody has had the same experience,
00:20:54.220
This is not me trying to have the moral high ground here,
00:21:09.360
And the stories that have really overtaken the news,
00:21:21.560
There was a black guy who stabbed a white guy at a track meet,
00:21:32.280
And over half a million dollars were raised in his defense,
00:21:36.540
Do you think a white person could stab a black person,
00:21:42.960
And get half a million dollars in their defense,
00:22:17.600
Where there is a black girl who's punched in the face,
00:22:23.800
And she's interviewing people at a pro-life rally,
00:22:34.380
And the black woman was not criminally charged,
00:22:46.360
So we're going to talk about what the internet is calling,
00:23:58.020
Now I do kind of want to go through the criticisms,
00:33:41.980
This also happened with the Kyle Rittenhouse case,
00:33:45.940
And I think when the original footage came out,
00:37:27.820
People are putting their experiences in the chat,
00:39:47.660
I don't really care about having videos made about me,
00:40:38.560
Like there's something happened with the studio,
00:48:54.160
So, I don't know, you know, and this isn't, and I'd like to say, it's not like you think as a white person, I'll bring them on in a second.
00:49:10.800
It's not like you think that all black people, you know, there's stuff I love about black people, and I really do, and I'd like to make that very clear there is.
00:49:18.920
But it's just at a certain point, you guys can't keep calling us racist over everything.
00:49:29.180
I actually have a chart I made of how racism starts, and we're going to do it in a second.
00:49:33.940
You can bring it up, but I'll, so when you sit back down, I'll get up.
00:49:40.180
Yeah, so, and it's not like, it's not like, I'd like to be clear.
00:49:54.340
I think they have a better sense of humor than white people.
00:49:59.220
Like, if I do street interviews, if I interview a white person, it's like a boring answer.
00:50:04.540
But if I interview a black person, I mean, they're a ton of fun.
00:50:15.660
I went to a cookout once in the hood, and it was a lot of fun.
00:50:26.280
They do kill each other a lot, but they do have the lowest suicide rate, and I do respect that.
00:50:32.600
Like, white people, we just, you know, we just off.
00:50:35.200
But, you know, it's like, they're like, if I'm going to go out, I'm going to go out in, like, a shootout.
00:50:42.540
But it's just like, at some point, you guys can't keep calling us racist all the time and just expecting us to just take it.
00:51:07.380
Maybe for some other days, but I would love to know who are your female role models, if any.
00:51:15.980
Let me do my chart, and then I'll bring on Doug.
00:51:42.220
Now, you may be asking yourself, how does racism happen?
00:51:45.560
Now, to be fair, there are some real racists, but I don't think people start that way.
00:51:56.460
Now, again, some of these are real racists, but what happened is, you're nice to black people.
00:52:03.040
Then you're called racist, stolen from, attacked.
00:52:07.880
And then there's black fatigue, and then there's real racism.
00:52:13.700
And then you forget, and then it just keeps going.
00:52:43.600
So, someone in the chat said, Doug MPA, when did you turn against toxic black culture?
00:52:55.680
You know, I've had black fatigue for over 40 years.
00:52:58.680
When you're a person like me who comes from, you know, my family wasn't as well-to-do as Pearls.
00:53:04.440
When my family was pretty well-to-do, we grew up in a nice neighborhood, a prominent white neighborhood, and I've had, I've gotten it worse from my own race.
00:53:13.280
You know, you talk white, you act white, you get good grades, you're just white, white, white, white.
00:53:20.620
And, guys, I keep telling you, the only person that has more black fatigue than white people are hardworking, educated, law-abiding black people.
00:53:33.380
You know it's bad when black people are having black fatigue.
00:53:39.980
And we're starting to see a shift where white people are speaking up, but then you see black people speaking up, too.
00:53:46.380
You know, this whole, you know, no-snitching kind of thing where we have to protect the culture, no, that's over with.
00:53:54.220
You have more black people who will proudly admit to be conservatives, on the right, voting for Trump.
00:54:04.140
I think we're finally starting to see a cultural shift, finally, in my life.
00:54:13.340
It's the black people that don't do that stuff, it sucks they have to be grouped in.
00:54:20.180
It's like, you almost have to go to extra lengths to prove you're not like that.
00:54:28.880
But you can't, you're not even allowed to notice.
00:54:38.280
Modern-day sorcery are the words that women make up to, like, redefine reality.
00:54:45.200
Like, black women have this term microaggression.
00:54:51.360
So, like, they'll consider, like, if anything that's based upon a stereotype or something that is perpetuated by black people, any way that white people would respond is likely that women will consider a microaggression.
00:55:14.700
Well, I'm not going to put this on you, but the average person, it doesn't matter what your race is.
00:55:19.340
If you're walking down the street and you see four black dudes standing on the corner, you're going to cross the road.
00:55:27.400
How mean black women were to me when I was in an interracial relationship.
00:55:36.400
But there were times where they said things to me in person.
00:55:44.160
And same when we would post videos and stuff, that would be, like, the top comments.
00:55:59.420
And then it's funny because they'll praise Serena Williams marrying that dorky Reddit guy.
00:56:08.280
But I had a black woman say that a black man marrying a white woman is betraying the race.
00:56:14.700
But a white man marrying a black woman is a celebration of the black woman.
00:56:19.340
Yeah, and the other thing is, they think, black women think they can, sometimes they're just, not all, not all.
00:56:31.360
But at times when I was doing interviews, I mean, they're just so mean.
00:56:37.200
Like, I mean, if I was ever all out screamed at, it was always a black woman.
00:56:42.440
Like, when Brittany Renner, like, crashed out on me, and they're saying how I'm, like, wrong because I'm privileged and white as they're, like, screaming at me.
00:56:54.980
I'm glad because, guys, I've been telling Pearl for years, stop trying to be made to feel bad about the fact that your dad worked hard to put you in a position where you didn't have to, where you had a head start in life.
00:57:12.960
Yeah, I'm so tired of people holding that, especially in the black community.
00:57:17.080
Like, hood culture is supposed to be the culture.
00:57:20.160
If you didn't struggle, if you weren't from the hood, if you were dodging bullets and run away from the police, well, then you're not black.
00:57:27.640
Do you know what the other thing they would do?
00:57:29.620
I kind of moved on from this, but the news was giving me flashbacks.
00:57:34.880
Because I really have moved on from this period of my life.
00:57:37.720
They would get mad at me because I would bring too many black women on the show, and they would say I was racist because I brought on too many black women.
00:57:44.500
And they would say crazy things, and it would make them look bad.
00:57:47.920
And I was like, so when you give black people opportunities, you're called racist.
00:57:59.160
I'm like, what would be the perfect demographics for you?
00:58:02.560
And the thing is, they would always ask me why.
00:58:17.320
And honestly, so guys, I've moderated every single one of Pearl's panel shows.
00:58:24.800
You can go to Pearl's website, theodacitynetwork.com, and become a member and watch all of our old shows.
00:58:35.740
And she would have recruiters just recruit whoever wanted to come on the show.
00:58:41.680
And who is the most likely to come onto a podcast with people that they don't know and show their ass and act like complete morons?
00:58:54.200
So you wonder why there are so many black women on Pearl's show?
00:58:57.140
It's because they can't wait to get in front of a camera and act a damn fool.
00:59:07.080
When I did not, I swear, it's not like I didn't notice race, but I never really paid attention, obviously.
00:59:25.440
Sorry, Sarah, MTR, you are on my shit list forever.
00:59:33.620
Because it was just like, it was just so crazy because we were hanging out with both of them the week.
00:59:41.720
I remember when, like, when Sarah had his interview, his video scheduled about me.
00:59:50.200
It accused me of, like, taking footage to hold over black people's head.
00:59:58.780
And I was, we were taking footage at my birthday party to hold over black people's head.
01:00:07.040
He took footage from that party and posted it on the internet.
01:00:13.700
And I remember seeing the video scheduled and it said the truth about Pearl.
01:00:18.400
And I remember thinking, oh, he would never, it's going to be something positive.
01:00:31.540
And I'm like, no, he would never do me like that.
01:00:38.640
Yeah, I remember because I remember you couldn't even watch the video first.
01:00:43.800
Because remember, you called me and said, hey, can you watch this and tell me how bad it is?
01:00:49.980
Because you didn't even want to watch the video at first.
01:00:53.240
And what they don't understand is that traumatizes a person.
01:00:58.440
Like, I mean, now, look, I judge people on a case-by-case basis.
01:01:14.100
Yeah, Pearl always says it must be hard being a successful, educated black man sometimes
01:01:23.360
And I say, well, I feel the same about you being a woman.
01:01:33.880
And that's why when people, like, make generalizations about women, when I interviewed a thousand,
01:01:39.400
I mean, I just saw what they were talking about.
01:01:48.840
So, Pearl's not having to show, Pearl's not in any kind of denial that other races have issues.
01:01:55.560
We were talking about when you saw that shooting at that church, what race did you think that guy was?
01:02:12.580
They're all, so each race has its issues, but we're talking about black fatigue right now
01:02:19.000
and the past that a group of black people always get.
01:02:24.060
It's about the racism and the white supremacy and all this crap.
01:02:29.440
One of the biggest problems with the black community, in my opinion,
01:02:33.240
is that we're still so concerned with how we got here that we don't want to figure out what we're going to do about it.
01:02:41.820
So, when I was young, I'd come up to my dad and I'd say,
01:02:45.840
Hey, dad, you know, this happened, this happened, this happened.
01:02:52.880
Because the work doesn't start until you ask yourself that question.
01:02:57.280
And there's too many blacks in America that want to talk about the slavery and the Jim Crow
01:03:07.200
And even if you accept all that, what are you going to do about it?
01:03:12.080
How are you going to get on the field to score a touchdown?
01:03:17.880
Well, we're blocked with too many black people where they don't want to figure out
01:03:22.900
what they're going to do to move forward and get ahead and win.
01:03:27.860
Well, the other thing, so we were always beat over the head with,
01:03:34.060
we were always beat over the head and just said that we were these slave owners.
01:03:40.120
And when I found out that most white people didn't even own slaves,
01:03:45.000
because my whole childhood, they made it, they would, all the media, all the targeting
01:03:50.080
was that white people were these slave owners that just ruined black people's lives, pretty much.
01:03:57.000
Now, I'm not saying there's not some truth to that,
01:04:00.740
but when I found out it was 1% of the white people that are in America today
01:04:05.800
that are descendants of slaves, I was just like, why would they paint that picture like that?
01:04:18.240
New York City, Chicago, Boston was not built by slaves.
01:04:28.740
I'm saying, I'm so tired of this whole, because black women have created, I'm sorry, go ahead.
01:04:37.180
I was going to say, black women have created this thing.
01:04:39.500
Well, women take credit for everything that doesn't really belong to them.
01:04:43.400
Well, they try to take credit away from men, but black women have created this narrative
01:04:52.120
Just how women try to say that they try to take credit away from men, black women try to say,
01:04:59.260
oh, yeah, there's always a black person responsible for all sorts of different stuff.
01:05:04.680
No, well, the other thing, too, I didn't know the first slave owner was a black guy.
01:05:10.320
He, like, came from Africa, and that was the, like, it wasn't as racial historically
01:05:24.540
Obviously, that should never have happened, but you can't even talk about the historical
01:05:29.780
context without, like, you can't even talk about the historical context of slavery and,
01:05:35.900
like, the specifics about what happened without people getting mad at you.
01:05:48.540
Guys, everyone in the chat, everyone on the Audacity site, it is okay to be proud of who
01:05:57.720
It is proud for you to advocate for your group.
01:06:00.340
If you are a white guy and say, I want white guys, I want to try it, I want to help as many
01:06:07.000
white men to succeed as possible, well, good for you.
01:06:09.640
If you're a white woman, you want to help white women get ahead, you don't owe any other
01:06:17.580
group outside of the demographic that you belong to anything at all.
01:06:25.800
If you want to just help black people and get black people ahead, more power to you.
01:06:29.920
But it is okay for everyone to be proud of who they are, where they came from, and advocate
01:06:36.760
Like, I don't expect anything from white people.
01:06:39.720
And it's funny because that whole Oscars is so white thing, first off, who watches the
01:06:49.140
But second off, there's this campaign where, like, black people wanted to see 50% of the
01:06:59.220
Like, the expectation is that because there's black people and there's white people, that
01:07:03.800
everything has to be 50% black when we're only 13% of the population.
01:07:08.820
So anyway, they have this Oscars so white thing, right?
01:07:11.560
So they studied all of the Oscar wins and found out that throughout the history of Oscars, 13%
01:07:19.600
of the Oscars have been won by black actors and actresses, which is the same percentage of
01:07:34.600
And it's just, I mean, all I can go off of is my personal experience and what I've seen.
01:07:41.340
But it just feels like, and it's not every time, because I have also had really great black
01:07:51.800
people that have never done me this way, but there's always a percentage of black people
01:07:58.520
that it's like they just bite the hand that feeds them.
01:08:03.620
And I just, there were so many that I gave opportunities to.
01:08:08.280
Like, one of the people I'm thinking of, I mean, we doubled as subscribers.
01:08:16.360
There was another person who, I mean, they were living, they made better money probably
01:08:28.060
And it's just like, you know, and I just have not had that same experience with other
01:08:37.980
And they try to criticize you and shame you for, like, what has happened in your life.
01:08:44.500
But it doesn't mean, like, it didn't happen, you know?
01:08:51.920
I've been supporting Pearl since the very beginning.
01:08:55.540
And when this whole thing happened, what she's talking about, I know Pearl's heart.
01:09:02.580
And I just couldn't believe this was happening.
01:09:04.900
And also, the person that you had on your show that started this whole thing, you were
01:09:09.900
the first major platform on YouTube to have him on.
01:09:24.400
So they were mad because they were mad because I had Nick, yeah, Nick F on.
01:09:34.100
Well, and the other thing, too, was there was, like, a clip he was mad about because it
01:09:40.640
was, Nick doesn't agree with interracial dating.
01:09:46.580
Obviously, based on my life choices, I don't have the same opinion.
01:09:50.560
But this girl that I was friends with came on the show to debate with him about it.
01:09:56.040
And and she was she was being mean to him, to be honest.
01:10:04.600
And he makes a joke about her dating the black guy.
01:10:07.640
But the thing is, the thing is, I warned her before coming on.
01:10:12.940
If you're not comfortable, you don't have to whatever.
01:10:14.860
And everybody, like, was mad because I was letting them debate.
01:10:20.500
And I didn't, like, stand up or do anything or whatever.
01:10:36.920
Who turned on me, I could not he made, like, five video.
01:10:40.940
It wasn't even just one video he made about me.
01:10:47.820
And he would just take things I said out of context and just gossip about me for months.
01:10:54.580
But and I took it personal because I honestly considered him a friend.
01:11:02.940
And and that's when I learned you should never think YouTubers are your friend.
01:11:10.200
But I was on my show and we talked before about the content.
01:11:14.780
And I just didn't know what I was going to say because everyone was crashing out about me having this like Nick F on.
01:11:21.400
And I just remember I, like, looked down at my phone.
01:11:33.200
It I just see that he, like, made this video, this thumbnail just making fun of me.
01:11:48.060
You're that kind of person where because he got pressure from his audience.
01:11:52.700
He's like, I'm going to throw you under the bus.
01:11:59.620
And that's when I realized these YouTubers, man, they're snakes.
01:12:12.780
Or you implied that I have some learning to you and use this bullshit HR language.
01:12:19.320
So before I deem someone a racist, if they're white, I look at if they have said anything that I've never heard a black person say, but with the racist swap.
01:12:36.460
Because honestly, like, a lot of people that you would deem as a racist that are white, they're saying the same thing that I hear black people say.
01:12:47.760
And once again, I don't have a – most people that you hear have this racist rhetoric, especially amongst men.
01:12:58.600
Even the most racist men will respect competency and hard work.
01:13:08.440
Get yourself a highly valued skill, a highly valued trade, a highly valued education.
01:13:16.460
And even guys on camera that will say all this racist stuff, they will respect you as a man and your contributions and your hard work.
01:13:26.580
But yeah, black people, I'm telling you, we're tired the most.
01:13:36.520
You know, I've been having to deal with black fatigue my entire life.
01:13:40.140
I remember one of the jobs I took was full of a bunch of people that had gone to HBCUs.
01:13:53.300
And they, in the workplace, they intentionally separated the blacks that went to predominantly white institutions and then like HBCUs.
01:14:04.460
And guys, only 10% of black students go to HBCUs.
01:14:09.840
All the rest go to predominantly white institutions.
01:14:12.880
And it's funny because on the West Coast where I grew up, I'd never heard that term before.
01:14:19.220
So in the workplace, they would – if you were on a project with someone that went to an HBCU and you came to a disagreement, they'd say, oh, well, you went to a PWI.
01:14:33.400
And so a bunch of us blacks that went to a PWI were like, why do we take this from these people?
01:14:40.980
They are intentionally separating us and trying to parade this HBCU thing like they're blacker than we are or they're blackness because more valid because they went to a historically black institution.
01:14:56.900
Once again, only 10% of African-American students go to HBCUs, and HBCUs have some of the lowest graduation rates and some of the lowest return on investment of any schools in the country.
01:15:19.260
And I just – I'm just so tired of the evil like white men rhetoric.
01:15:25.100
And I think white people, that's just how we feel.
01:15:27.220
It's been shoved down our throat for 10 years, 15 years.
01:15:36.520
You know, and white guys are the least racist, I would say, really, of any group in my experience.
01:15:44.020
Like if you really know rich white men like that really have a lot of like money and power, they do not care about race.
01:15:53.860
They're so competent that it is so difficult for them to just find somebody that's smart that those guys do not care.
01:16:03.140
They don't – they just want somebody that can get the job done.
01:16:09.420
The only time that these white guys are racist is when a black guy wants to marry their daughter.
01:16:22.120
Yeah, but it's not like the white girls are bringing home like – they're bringing home glock-tabians.
01:16:38.680
Like, I mean, they're just like – they're like, can you do the job?
01:16:42.740
But then I'll say I don't even – I don't even care if like – it's like why black women are trying to go for white men.
01:16:53.200
And white men are never going to marry and have kids with black women in masks.
01:17:00.260
It's because white men want children that look like them.
01:17:09.140
And so even if you're a rich and powerful man, you know, you want your – you know, and you're white.
01:17:22.220
You know, a lot of black mothers don't want their sons to marry a white woman because they want their grandchildren to be black.
01:17:31.700
I'm just saying this because, once again, advocate for your own group and don't expect any group to do anything for you or have any kind of empathy or give you anything.
01:17:43.300
I put that aside a long time ago, and my life has been a lot better.
01:17:58.540
I'm trying to think, what was my biggest black –
01:18:02.320
Yeah, what was your biggest black fatigue moment?
01:18:07.420
Well, high school was all black fatigue because, you know, I got good grades.
01:18:13.320
You know, I grew up on the West Coast, so, you know, I was all about rock music and, you know, electronic music and stuff and tabletop dice game, stuff like that.
01:18:35.200
When I graduated college and I became a professional, all throughout my career, my worst enemy in a professional or academic setting, this is at a job or in school, was another black person.
01:18:57.920
Yeah, so when I was – just like in general, so the worst boss I ever had was at my job two jobs ago.
01:19:11.560
And he was a black guy, and he literally said he was the worst boss ever.
01:19:21.280
And I asked him why he had that managerial style, and he said that his mentor, who was another black person, said that if your employees don't hate you, then you're not doing your job as a manager.
01:19:35.560
So he would intentionally go out of his way to make his employees' lives miserable.
01:19:48.200
I tried hard to get banned from Don Lemon's stream today, and he let me speak.
01:20:12.460
Like, on my teams that I've been on over the years, there would be, like, two types of black girls.
01:20:18.240
There would be, like, the athletic ones that work hard, and they would do really well.
01:20:22.780
But, like, half of them would just piss away their athleticism.
01:20:27.060
Like, this one girl just ate grilled cheese every day, and she was better than me.
01:20:34.900
But I'd always beat her out because she just kept – she got fat.
01:20:39.240
My mother's had a woman that she worked with, and they moved from California to where we were.
01:20:49.720
And her daughter was a star track athlete, you know, black woman, straight A's.
01:20:54.880
And so she moved to this new high school where it was predominantly black.
01:21:00.320
And the girls on the track team found out that she had really good grades and just kept bashing on her, you know, making fun of her because she had good grades.
01:21:12.040
So her daughter was getting D's and C's in school to fit in with the black girls on her track team.
01:21:24.180
She's like, I'm tired of them making fun of me, but I want to keep running track, but I don't want them to make fun of me.
01:21:29.860
So she would rather tank her own grades to fit in with Shaniqua and Boonkisha.
01:21:41.860
And it's not like anybody wants to be prejudiced, right?
01:21:51.420
You know, this isn't – and most people will give anybody a chance as long as you're nice.
01:21:58.140
You know, most people, I would say, operate in somewhat good faith, but it's just at some point the – calling white people racist, it's not working anymore.
01:22:13.600
I would go on to say, even if they are, what are you going to do about it?
01:22:17.540
Like, you have to figure out what you're going to do about adversity in your life.
01:22:28.580
White people – you're going to run into racist white people.
01:22:35.960
I would argue Asians probably – Asians probably hate black people more than white people hate black people.
01:22:44.540
Have you seen how Asian hair shop owners treat black women?
01:22:49.320
Well, sometimes rightfully so because they steal the weave out of their shops a lot of the time.
01:22:59.160
They always say that, like, we want to be black, but they're always wearing white girls' hair.
01:23:06.640
Why are you wearing white people's hair if, like, we want to be black?
01:23:14.460
I'm like, I don't – I don't really think it looks the same.
01:23:21.660
I just don't think our filler – I do – I could go on a rant about white women.
01:23:29.900
And we have, like, our lips filled and whatever.
01:23:34.140
But I just – I don't think that filler lips look like black girl lips.
01:23:45.980
It's – I'm just glad that with – ever since Trump got reelected, everything is kind of correcting itself.
01:23:55.200
And we're actually able to have – could you imagine having had this type of show, like, a year and a half ago?
01:24:01.440
Oh, I wouldn't have did it a year and a half ago.
01:24:03.360
I saw, like, three other channels not get kicked off.
01:24:06.740
So I was like, oh, I'll just save my experience.
01:24:18.440
And, you know, a lot of people are saying, well, Pearl didn't conduct the interview right or whatever.
01:24:23.360
You know, maybe I didn't or maybe they think I should have did it in a different way because – but do you really, like – do you really have that little decency that if you know somebody and have interacted with them personally, that gives you the right to bully them for a year and a half?
01:24:41.800
Like, somebody that was actually nice to you, let you stay in their house?
01:24:49.340
That's what you – because you don't agree with how they did an interview.
01:24:57.620
Well, you kept your head up this whole time, Pearl, and you made it through, and, you know, you have your supporters that I can support you no matter what.
01:25:07.440
No, look at – I get a little emotional talking about this, to be honest.
01:25:12.320
Like, I had a – I was kind of getting kind of sad halfway because when I think about it, it just shocked me.
01:25:19.320
I've never really – I can't imagine how you guys go through it with your wives.
01:25:25.440
Because I was not romantically invested in any of these people.
01:25:39.540
Actually, one more thing I want to say because someone keeps putting that black people are responsible for 57% of the crime.
01:25:54.900
Yes, black people are responsible for 55% of violent crime.
01:25:58.760
But, guys, like I said earlier, your favorite conservative influencers, if anyone is going to take them out, it's going to be a white guy.
01:26:10.860
White men are like 75% of the sex offender registry.
01:26:15.660
90% of white-collar crime is perpetuated by white people.
01:26:28.280
So just make sure to look at all the stats, guys.
01:26:34.020
Because once again, that church shooter, whenever you see someone shooting up someplace, the guy that shot up the freaking NFL headquarters, the guy that shot up that church, all white guys.
01:26:46.640
Because the Las Vegas shooter, remember the guy that shot all those people from that hotel room?
01:26:56.960
But, yes, black people commit 55% of the violent crime.
01:27:00.940
Yeah, but the difference is we can say that about white people.
01:27:04.200
I mean, we can say it now, but I'm saying the last decade, we haven't been able to say it.
01:27:11.980
But even these topics still make me a little bit uneasy.
01:27:17.040
The opportunity says the crimes that you're talking about are too complex for black people.
01:27:27.920
Okay, well, that's all I got today on this topic.
01:27:36.180
But if you want to go to theaudacitynetwork.com, there are certain streams I do, guys, where I am risking my channel to some extent.
01:27:44.900
I would love to bring some people back on, but we need to get more people on theaudacitynetwork.com.
01:27:53.820
You know, we can actually do once a week YouTube sessions again, but they just never got any traction.
01:27:59.520
If you guys want me to teach you YouTube again once a week, I could totally do it, but I kept doing the streams and no one was coming.
01:28:10.640
But yeah, we can do them on theaudacitynetwork.com.
01:28:16.620
If you want to do it again, let me know in the comments.
01:28:21.060
Yeah, I really appreciate you doing this topic.
01:28:28.880
And guys, once again, you're going to see a lot more white creators covering this topic, and they are perfectly entitled to do so.
01:28:39.400
Because the only people that have more black fatigue than the white people you see on camera are the black people you see on camera.
01:28:54.120
I try to stick to stuff I have real-life experience with, but I could talk about that a different day.
