On this episode of the podcast, the brother and sister duo of the sit down and talk about their upbringing and how they came to be who they are today. They also discuss the current state of the Democratic Party and how it affects the black community.
00:00:20.000My little brother, as suburban as it gets, he had a, in my parents' house, he had a shoe closet that was he had a shoe closet that was bigger than most of his friends' actual room.
00:01:09.000You've seen no parts of the hood, sir!
00:01:12.000Yeah, and it's funny, people like my dad, who genuinely did, he actually is from the part inside of 8 Mile that Eminem likes to claim he's from, and really did have a rough upbringing, but it doesn't matter.
00:01:24.000A great example, I think Ben Carson, Is such a good, worst surrogate ever.
00:01:29.000Like, what do you think about Donald Trump?
00:01:31.000I think he might, maybe we should ban the Second Amendment.
00:02:37.000Because black people have been brainwashed by liberals and Democrats for all these years.
00:02:41.000If you ever notice, and you can tell a black person this, why is it that every place in America that's very, very violent Has two things in common.
00:03:17.000There's nobody who's more shortchanged by the current Democratic Party proposals with illegal immigrants than people like my mom, legal immigrants, who've come in, who've...
00:03:26.000And by the way, this myth, I wrote about this, that immigrants are the backbone of America.
00:04:19.000People with their hands out and saying, well, we'll give you a little something if you give us your vote, because it's the cheapest way around them getting a voting populist.
00:04:26.000And they've done that with the illegal immigrants when they were saying, well, we should get them worker cards and driver's license.
00:04:33.000And it's like they're making excuses for these people to stay un-American.
00:04:37.000So they get to fly their flag of where they're from, not learn your language, and all of the things that used to be a part of becoming American.
00:04:44.000Now, being a separatist in America is the norm.
00:05:12.000If they could do it, it's just like, we'll scale it back for right now.
00:05:16.000Look at what they're doing in Minnesota.
00:05:18.000a guy from Minnesota called me last night and he was talking about what they were doing with the Somali refugees, that their governor is asking for more of them because he knows if he gets more of them, he can increase the Democratic fan base, as I would call them, because they're fanatics.
00:05:36.000They're literally voting for Democrats just because they see a D, because they believe, like a lot of people when Barack Obama was elected, we believe he's going to give us And they literally came out in public and said black people are gonna get free stuff.
00:05:56.000I know that must be the stuff from your nightmares, that Obama phone lady, because she has, like, every negative stereotype that the actual white nationalists have.
00:06:50.000Like, I've watched on Twitter, and I don't know how much you go through and just watch it.
00:06:54.000You'll watch every time a black person says something that is common sense.
00:06:58.000They'll say, you must be a Trump voter.
00:07:01.000Like, how is that, number one, even a bad thing?
00:07:04.000Like, black people act like voting for other rich white people is somehow revolutionary.
00:07:09.000Because before Barack Obama, you pretty much just had one white person versus another one, and both were rich.
00:07:15.000But they've convinced the black people that the white person with the D beside their name is all about you and all about the poor, even though John Edwards was getting $800 haircuts and cheating on his wife with cancer.
00:08:31.000Well, he just kept telling me, you know, you don't know because you're not black with the black experience, but I just think it's such an intellectual cop-out.
00:09:21.000Yeah, he was trying to spell advice, and a lot of people, just like if you look, most black people, for some reason, cannot spell your advice.
00:09:31.000Y-O-U-R-E. They will always spell it Y-O-U-R. And it doesn't matter how many times you tell them that's not correct.
00:09:38.000They will say, oh, so you think you white now?
00:09:41.000Instead of, like, you can't correct him.
00:10:34.000And then when he talks, like, I don't know if you guys have ever seen this interview between him and Jesse Lee Peterson.
00:10:41.000It's one of the funniest things in history.
00:10:45.000And I said, I called it a battle of slow wits and bad...
00:10:50.000It's like two turpid sloths in a Jedi battle.
00:10:58.000I take some pride in that we have never had someone on the show from an opposing viewpoint who either wouldn't come back or isn't willing to come back.
00:11:09.000But he did upload our debate to his channel and then immediately deleted it.
00:11:14.000Right, because everybody kept telling him, dude, you got slaughtered.
00:11:18.000And it was just bad because you got to understand, a lot of us who were raised by women, women don't have to answer questions because, well, they're women and somebody wants to sleep with them so they can get away with a lot more than what a man can.
00:11:30.000And what a woman will do is just give an absolution to what you said, which shuts it down.
00:11:37.000Like, she'll say, you'll say when you made a stat about the black homes.
00:12:25.000I used to, I swear to you, I used to do this, my brother used to laugh his ass off, where someone would come out, we would tune into Def Comedy Jam, and I swear to you, I would just, I was like a kid, I was just like a smart-ass kid, and all I would say is, Y'all know I'm black!
00:14:18.000I'm looking at this and I'm thinking...
00:14:20.000Like, these stereotypes just come out, and they come out, but the people who play to the stereotype more than anybody are black people themselves, and then they get mad when people repeat them.
00:14:29.000There's no way that Precious should have been nominated for anything other than the worst movie that year, but...
00:14:34.000Monique deserved the nomination for actor.
00:15:44.000It is really unreal that we are at this time and that what you say is just, I mean, so much flack that you catch for it.
00:15:51.000It just is one of those things that...
00:15:52.000I will say this, as far as white privilege...
00:15:55.000I am definitely not beholden to a dogmatic racial ideology that black people are held to.
00:16:03.000I can be, and it's like, you're an idiot, you're a race because you're a Republican, but I'm not excommunicated as a white person.
00:16:09.000For a black person, I will definitely say that that is a burden that we don't have, where if you go off the reservation, they do not play nice.
00:16:16.000Yeah, you can vote Democrat or Republican.
00:17:36.000Yeah, he made a few films called Hidden Colors.
00:17:39.000And it's supposedly about how black people are magical and melanin is great and it cures everything and white people are trying to siphon melanin out of black people.
00:17:49.000Now, melanin is what gives us our skin color.
00:17:51.000But this same man who made this great film about how great melanin is also has a character on YouTube where he's making fun of me.
00:18:02.000He's making fun of him because he's so black, because I'm so black.
00:18:06.000And all the black people laugh at this character called Crispy because he loves white women and cocaine, and all he does is help white supremacy.
00:18:15.000Now, black people who are saying that melanin is magical laughs at black people who are my color.
00:18:21.000If you grew up in a black neighborhood...
00:18:23.000I don't even think of you as that black.
00:18:24.000I knew a guy from Barbados who, I mean, I swear to you, at our graduation dance, he shut off the lights and...
00:19:11.000Because his reasoning was, while in college, the people kept making fun of him, saying he's trying to be white and he's changing, he's different.
00:19:19.000And he had lived his whole life around these people.
00:19:31.000Also, the problem with that, too, is then you get, like with the Trump thing, you get into far alt-right, where they do make it about race.
00:19:36.000There are legitimate people now who are like, no, they just have a lower IQ. No, it's just not a cultural thing.
00:20:24.000And even when you say blacks are only 13% of the population, if you break it down to who's actually committing the crimes, it's only about 5% of the population that's doing it.
00:20:33.000It's a demographic of males between a certain age that's doing this.
00:21:06.000So for people who don't know, it looks like an all-white pit bull mixed with a Great Dane.
00:21:10.000So, you know, listen, the inner cities were, you know, in Michigan, they were overbred because people thought, well, this is like a bigger than a pit bull, but they're not fighting dogs, they're hunting dogs, and so they've been discarded, so he's a rescue.
00:21:20.000Well, I was driving to Texas for Thanksgiving, and I stopped by Choctaw Casino, and I was just letting Hopper go to the bathroom.
00:21:28.000So big, gleaming, white, very handsome dog, and a black guy came up, and he just said, he said, oh, man, thanks, you found my dog.
00:21:36.000I said, sorry, people are getting mad at the impression.
00:21:38.000I said, I'm just doing impressions of whoever it is, so get over it, people.
00:21:57.000And so I took Hopper, I put him in the back of the car, I closed it, and I locked it, and I walked right up to him, and I said, that's not your dog.
00:22:12.000And my friend said, yeah, he said a lot of these people are taught that white people are afraid of them.
00:22:15.000He said a lot of times pit bulls are rescues, and so you have a lot of white people who just go, they're rescuing a pit, and a guy goes, oh, it's my dog.
00:23:31.000And I could see the look on his face because he knew I already had like three of his things and he knows borrow means you're not getting it back.
00:23:57.000And I think the big reason is just because they're not used to seeing a pretty big white guy with glasses.
00:24:02.000So kind of nerdy, but also bigger than them.
00:24:06.000And so I definitely have run into, you know, in grappling, for example, in Brazilian Judo, where there's this assumption that you're intimidated, but it all goes away once you get on the mats.
00:24:18.000So I've kind of encountered it, but I didn't know if it was an actual thing.
00:24:51.000But even then, I would be lying if I were to say, you know, if I'm in an area of Detroit, or if I'm in an area of South Dallas, and, you know, not someone like you, I wouldn't think twice, but people who are mimicking Criminal culture.
00:25:02.000Even if they're white, I guess at that point, so it's a moot point pants down to their ankles.
00:25:08.000Well, whenever you think about it, and I want you to tell your liberal friends, if you love black people so much and you think the people in the inner city are being mistreated, why is your home around white people?
00:26:33.000Or like Quentin Tarantino, wherever he puts himself in, you're like, ah, ah, ah, the camera is specifically not made for these nooks and crannies in a face.
00:26:40.000Right, and he just gets worse as he ages.
00:26:46.000But if you just think about it, guys, you have to just realize that a lot of these people are getting paid off of other people being miserable.
00:26:52.000And as your producer stated, he just says, race soldiers, race this, race that, all day.
00:27:42.000Never had any bad experiences, but all of a sudden now, every time the lights go on in the back of my car, I'm afraid I'm going to die.
00:27:48.000People who say, you know, I'm now more afraid of the police than I ever was of the gang life in my, you know, growing up, you know, the Crips and the Bloods in my neighborhood.
00:27:57.000Is that a victory for Black Lives Matter, for them, for so many people to be afraid that when they never were?
00:28:02.000If this is so prevalent, why are they just now aware of this if it's been going on for so long?
00:29:17.000I mean, Jared has his concealed carry.
00:29:19.000Concealed carry, that's terrifying when it happens.
00:29:21.000And most of the time, and I've known officers, whether you're black or white, if you have a concealed carry and you're really straightforward.
00:29:28.000You said you've been let out of tickets because you're like, officer, I have my right to carry, and they appreciate it.
00:29:31.000Well, yeah, the first thing they said was like, hey, that's a smart move.
00:29:33.000I appreciate, you know, he's glad I'm out there.
00:29:36.000But the first, when you first walk up, you're like, how do I, am I doing this right?
00:29:40.000Do I have my hands in the right place?
00:29:41.000Am I in my wallet not behind my gun where I have to reach to my, pass my gun to get my wallet?
00:29:46.000Like, it's a terrifying experience until, like, you know, it eases up.
00:29:50.000As a matter of fact, every time I see cop lights in my, my heart, like, jumps out of my chest.
00:30:06.000If they're just pulling me over for speeding, I don't say anything and just try to let them give me the ticket and let them go, because I honestly think that's going to lead to something else.
00:30:15.000Just like the YouTube video showed, these two men walking down the same stretch of road, both of them had an AK. Legally, we're able to carry them.
00:30:23.000The white guy was able to walk and not be harassed.
00:30:25.000The black guy did the same thing in the same area.
00:30:28.000And literally, they kept calling 911 on him.
00:30:31.000There is an element of people are used to looking at something or seeing something, and television doesn't help, and black people don't help.
00:30:40.000White people are putting out images of black people being violent, but I'm one of the black people who put out an image of a black person being violent by stealing Jordans and Ninton.
00:30:49.000I will say this, again, just not really knowing the situation, processing it, if I see a white guy open carrying an AK, I right away think that they are a far-right libertarian making a point because I never see it.
00:31:01.000If I do see a black person with an AK, my mind doesn't go there right away because I also know there aren't many far-right-wing black people, that it's much more likely that the AK is for something else.
00:31:11.000That would just be my quick, again, you know, discrimination, generalizations are evolutionary psychological advancements to try and protect your Now, if that black guy had a big old fat belt buckle and a confederate flag hat, you probably would associate him.
00:31:47.000And we were like, okay, we immediately were like, well, not gang activity, because he's open carrying, but a shirtless black guy, greasy, looked out of it.
00:31:53.000Uh, They call him a peacekeeper or something like that, kind of policing the area.
00:31:58.000But my reaction to him would have been very different if he was just dressed as any of us are now, or a polo, or whatever it is, and open carrying.
00:32:05.000But it's not so much that you're black and open carrying, it's that you're greasy shirtless with your pants lope.
00:32:36.000And those are the things, or everyone has their whatever you want to call it, but those are the things that helped us evolve and survive as people.
00:32:45.000And I'm tired of someone saying, you should treat all people the same.
00:33:58.000I remember as a kid thinking, like, oh my gosh, if this guy wanted to kill me, I wouldn't be able to talk my way out of it because it didn't matter, like, logic or any kind of empathy.
00:34:08.000I remember thinking of him as very robotic as a kid and being slightly afraid of Asian people.
00:34:14.000Well, you should have said Demo Arigato.
00:34:42.000Well, black people apparently had the same experience, because if you remember the movie Menace to Society, which is old, remember what the...
