00:00:00.000 Did you see what happened with Carmelo Anthony?
00:00:02.280 Yeah.
00:00:02.860 Do you think that was self-defense?
00:00:03.980 He brought a knife to attract me?
00:00:05.460 I'm going to keep it real with you.
00:00:06.740 I brought knives to school every day.
00:00:08.040 I brought knives to school every day.
00:00:09.300 You brought knives to school every day?
00:00:10.100 Why?
00:00:10.520 I got jumped.
00:00:11.320 I had my nose broken.
00:00:12.220 I had a concussion.
00:00:13.140 I couldn't go to school for three weeks.
00:00:14.460 I've seen people my age, younger, get robbed.
00:00:16.880 I've seen people my age, younger, get beat up.
00:00:18.840 At a certain point, you have to...
00:00:20.660 When it comes down to you or somebody else,
00:00:22.160 you're always going to pick yourself.
00:00:23.440 Austin just asked him to move out of his seat.
00:00:26.320 I wasn't there.
00:00:27.360 Carmelo's going to be the bad guy in that picture regardless.
00:00:30.000 Well, he's free now.
00:00:30.860 He just said the bond was posted and he's home
00:00:32.460 and they raised $400,000.
00:00:33.980 Yo, then he's free.
00:00:35.380 I'm not really mad at it even if he did it out of malice
00:00:37.420 because at the end of the day,
00:00:38.760 being black in America is not always fun.
00:00:40.840 And a lot of the time in that situation,
00:00:42.300 whether he did it out of self-defense or not,
00:00:44.080 he would have went to jail.
00:00:48.160 What do you mean?
00:00:48.740 I'm not part of that.
00:00:49.420 Don't put me on the camera.
00:00:50.140 You're talking about black men and all that shit?
00:00:52.500 Chill with that shit, bro.
00:00:53.420 You know I'm part black, right?
00:00:54.480 I don't give a fuck what you are,
00:00:56.020 but you ain't got the right to speak on
00:00:57.420 how black men move, bro.
00:00:59.140 I talk about everybody.
00:01:00.540 I talk about everything.
00:01:03.920 So who could talk about black people?
00:01:08.740 I'm not Mexican.
00:01:10.860 Everybody talks about everybody.
00:01:12.040 Nah, keep us out your mouth, though, bro.
00:01:14.080 Keep it gaston.
00:01:15.600 You, fresh and fit, all y'all do it.
00:01:17.620 It's like y'all got something.
00:01:18.260 What did I say that you don't like?
00:01:20.100 Well, you said a lot.
00:01:21.080 You know what you said.
00:01:21.440 No, tell me.
00:01:22.280 I'm not going to go verbatim.
00:01:23.460 Come on, bro.
00:01:23.700 I'm in the industry, too.
00:01:25.140 You're upset about something I said,
00:01:26.260 but you don't know what it is?
00:01:27.060 I'm upset.
00:01:27.660 I just checked you on that bullshit.
00:01:29.480 You don't do it no more.
00:01:30.880 What's the bullshit that I said?
00:01:31.980 You said a lot of bullshit.
00:01:32.880 Can you say one thing?
00:01:34.400 Not verbatim.
00:01:35.060 All right, then you don't know what you're talking about.
00:01:36.720 Then you don't know what you're talking about.
00:01:38.140 I'll fuck with you, bro.
00:01:39.280 I'll fuck with you.
00:01:39.720 All right, fuck with you, too.
00:01:41.180 You don't even know what you're talking about.
00:01:42.740 I'll fuck with you, bro.
00:01:43.200 I'll fuck with you, bro.
00:01:44.380 Keep on your face, keep on your face, keep on your face.
00:01:46.500 Love speech.
00:01:47.100 All right, all love.
00:01:47.940 Love speech.
00:01:49.520 What the fuck is he talking about?
00:01:50.660 How are you upset about something you don't even know?
00:01:52.480 Did you hear the story that happened with Carmelo Anthony?
00:01:55.760 No, you haven't heard about that?
00:01:57.040 You don't look at the news too much.
00:01:58.600 Not much.
00:01:59.140 No, actually.
00:02:00.020 I can't believe anyone's heard about this.
00:02:01.640 No.
00:02:02.100 What's up, man?
00:02:05.060 Two kids, one black kid stabbed a white kid.
00:02:07.340 You didn't hear about that?
00:02:08.000 I heard about that, yeah.
00:02:08.840 Okay.
00:02:09.280 What are your, any thoughts about that?
00:02:10.800 Or is it just some news you see in Swirl?
00:02:12.580 It's just news that I've seen, yeah.
00:02:14.460 Okay.
00:02:14.840 You want to tell me more about it?
00:02:16.060 He's like an 18-year-old kid, black kid,
00:02:17.740 who stabbed a white guy at a track meet.
00:02:19.280 Oh, I have not heard about that.
00:02:20.600 You didn't hear about that?
00:02:21.340 No.
00:02:21.720 Okay, can you guess what happened to him?
00:02:24.960 I guess they caught him.
00:02:26.640 How much time in prison do you think he's doing?
00:02:28.340 What sentence do you think he's facing?
00:02:30.540 Well, I hope so.
00:02:32.240 I don't know, five years, I guess.
00:02:33.860 Five years?
00:02:34.380 Yeah, I guess so.
00:02:35.320 For murder, or you think only five years?
00:02:37.380 I don't know, so maybe more, I'm just guessing.
00:02:39.420 Five years is pretty light.
00:02:40.540 Okay, so give him, I don't know.
00:02:41.800 Right now, he just got out on bond.
00:02:43.300 This bond was lowered from a quarter million to 25,000.
00:02:46.560 And now he's home, he's free.
00:02:48.020 I guess how much money his family raised?
00:02:49.680 But since you are telling me about it,
00:02:51.220 I don't know, they raised maybe 10K?
00:02:54.800 $400,000.
00:02:56.140 $400,000.
00:02:56.880 Yeah, for people who support him.
00:02:58.180 I know there were two sides of the story, right?
00:03:00.180 The first was that it was an unprovoked attack.
00:03:03.160 The second was that people are now saying, you know, the initial aggression,
00:03:06.500 like there was some aggression on both sides.
00:03:08.660 So I don't know.
00:03:09.840 I don't know if there's evidence on that.
00:03:11.280 So I don't know.
00:03:12.040 Well, you're looking like you're going to the gym right now.
00:03:13.820 Have you ever brought a knife to the gym to stab somebody?
00:03:16.680 I have not brought a knife to the gym.
00:03:18.280 Any hate crime or anything like that,
00:03:19.780 I feel like the eye for eye punishment needs to be implemented again.
00:03:24.340 I don't know if that sounds kind of barbaric.
00:03:25.160 You mean self-defense?
00:03:26.100 Yeah, like, no, but like eye for an eye.
00:03:27.800 Like, you stab me, bitch, I'm going to stab you?
00:03:30.240 Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
00:03:31.840 And that person should get stabbed.
00:03:33.580 That one singular story of this terrible thing that happened
00:03:36.400 over a fucking biscuit and gravy, that's fine.
00:03:38.760 Okay, that's fine.
00:03:39.540 What about the guy who got deported with no crime
00:03:42.280 and is not going to come back?
00:03:43.680 Like, or the fact that Donald Trump was hot mic
00:03:45.540 saying he wants to start deporting natural citizens.
00:03:47.420 I would love to have a singular talk about one conversation
00:03:49.460 if that story wasn't being used by the wrong people
00:03:51.680 in order to push a bullshit narrative.
00:03:54.060 Yes, one person got killed over a knife fight that was bullshit.
00:03:56.960 Happens here too sometimes.
00:03:58.220 But let's start talking about some of the shit that really matters.
00:04:00.240 Like, for example...
00:04:01.080 You don't think that matters?
00:04:02.140 I think it's being blown out of context.
00:04:04.380 I think that when we take a singular story like that
00:04:06.320 and blow it up,
00:04:07.060 then we're not looking at the shit that's really happening.
00:04:08.720 For example, we're back in a trade war again.
00:04:10.980 That means people are going to have a shit ton more problems
00:04:13.780 than one kid is going to have right now.
00:04:15.920 And you know what?
00:04:16.560 He deserves to go to jail.
00:04:17.580 Let's call it out.
00:04:18.020 You want him to call?
00:04:18.560 It's fine.
00:04:18.880 Let's call it out.
00:04:19.460 He deserves to go to jail.
00:04:20.420 He's not innocent.
00:04:21.100 He deserves to go to jail.
00:04:21.740 Fair enough.
00:04:22.300 Got it.
00:04:22.600 But World War III, the tariff war,
00:04:23.940 is more important to talk about.
00:04:25.180 Because that's actually something that impacts us
00:04:26.920 all actively right now.
00:04:28.280 Do you think he deserves the $400,000
00:04:30.040 that was raised through GoFundMe?
00:04:31.760 I think that if people decided that they relate to him
00:04:35.520 and they decided that they want to help his family out,
00:04:39.280 then that's a personal decision that they made.
00:04:41.040 So whether or not he deserves it isn't up to me.
00:04:43.120 It's up to the people that donated the money.
00:04:45.680 They gave him, you know, they helped his family out
00:04:47.700 because they see something that a lot of people
00:04:49.780 that don't look like black people don't see.
00:04:51.960 They see that regardless of what he does.
00:04:54.380 So it's like that.
00:04:57.240 You know, you stick together.
00:04:58.160 Honestly, like, like I said, bro,
00:05:00.040 I see people that look like me get incarcerated for everything.
00:05:03.140 Get incarcerated for things you ain't do.
00:05:04.680 Look at Khalif Browder.
00:05:05.560 Khalif Browder got arrested for...
00:05:07.240 And I was in New York.
00:05:08.040 Khalif Browder got arrested for beating somebody up,
00:05:10.740 stealing a book bag.
00:05:12.260 And when you take a lot of losses, you know, as a community,
00:05:14.260 you see things like that happen over and over,
00:05:15.840 time and time again.
00:05:16.960 You know, people going to jail for things they ain't do.
00:05:18.720 You don't really care if somebody did it or not.
00:05:20.540 Sometimes you want to...
00:05:20.820 So you don't care if you did it or not?
00:05:22.760 Me personally, nah.
00:05:24.160 Me personally, I don't care.
00:05:25.660 I don't care.
00:05:26.440 Because at the end of the day, bro, like,
00:05:28.440 objectively, I've been that kid.
00:05:29.800 I've been that kid that didn't do something and got booked.
00:05:32.020 You did that, so you did something like that before?
00:05:33.900 Nah, I got arrested my freshman year of high school,
00:05:35.560 my first day of high school.
00:05:36.280 I got arrested for beating up and robbing a kid.
00:05:39.340 I never touched, never seen him.
00:05:40.340 To this day, I don't know what he looked like.
00:05:41.700 Did you do it or you didn't do it?
00:05:43.080 I was on camera cutting class in the bathroom.
00:05:47.300 Going to the bathroom.
00:05:49.100 Robbery happened five, six miles away.
00:05:51.500 Happened to be going to the mall.
00:05:52.520 So, police picked me up said I matched the description
00:05:54.900 and I didn't match, ironically enough.
00:05:57.540 So, but...
00:05:59.240 And it's not even a malicious thing, like,
00:06:00.820 nothing like no hate to Austin's family.
00:06:02.660 It's just, when you see a system
00:06:04.620 take things from people that look like you
00:06:06.880 over and over and over,
00:06:08.180 sometimes somebody being home,
00:06:09.560 whether they're guilty or not,
00:06:10.500 it just feels like a win.
00:06:11.700 It might not be justice for real,
00:06:13.460 but most of the time,
00:06:14.940 you don't get justice in this country
00:06:16.220 if you look a certain way.
00:06:17.180 Do you see race?
00:06:19.960 It depends on which neighborhood, yes.
00:06:22.400 So, which neighborhoods do you see race?
00:06:25.320 I can't say really race,
00:06:27.320 because we have the police department
00:06:29.180 protecting us,
00:06:30.280 but at certain times in the year,
00:06:32.660 I feel like I see my hate on my community.
00:06:36.280 Yeah, do you think that there's more hate
00:06:37.440 towards the Jewish community now?
00:06:38.620 Yes, no.
00:06:45.220 I can't say,
00:06:46.000 because it's both together.
00:06:48.380 Are you a Hasidic?
00:06:49.600 Yes, I am.
00:06:50.400 Can I ask you,
00:06:51.040 do you support Israel
00:06:52.020 or you don't support Israel?
00:06:52.820 Yes, I do.
00:06:53.400 You do, okay.
00:06:54.140 So, some of them don't,
00:06:55.180 some of the Hasidic Jews don't.
00:06:56.640 Correct.
00:06:57.140 What's the difference
00:06:57.820 between those who do it?
00:06:58.560 Everybody has, you know,
00:06:59.640 in Catholic and in Christian
00:07:01.040 and in every community,
00:07:03.660 someone supports the community,
00:07:04.960 someone doesn't support the community.
00:07:06.120 So, you can't say everybody supports it, right?
00:07:09.820 Can I ask you a question?
00:07:10.460 Do you see race?
00:07:11.460 Do you see color?
00:07:12.660 No, I'm Muslim.
00:07:13.800 How are you going to see them?
00:07:14.700 I don't look at them differently
00:07:16.060 when I see their color.
00:07:19.000 You have no stereotypes at all for anybody?
00:07:20.980 I'm trying to not have any stereotypes.
00:07:24.320 Ah, I think so.
00:07:25.320 Okay.
00:07:25.780 Do you think that makes you prejudiced
00:07:26.980 or stereotypical or racist?
00:07:28.440 No, I don't think so.
00:07:29.680 Oh my God, I see color.
00:07:31.280 I love color.
00:07:32.460 I see race.
00:07:35.040 Do you see race?
00:07:36.600 Do I see race?
00:07:37.540 Yeah.
00:07:38.660 Okay.
00:07:39.300 Sure.
00:07:39.900 Do you make judgments off that?
00:07:42.920 Implicitly, yeah, I do,
00:07:43.980 but so does anybody.
00:07:45.780 Some people say they don't.
00:07:46.960 A lot of people sat down
00:07:47.820 so they don't judge anyone
00:07:48.740 until they meet them.
00:07:49.980 Well, nobody wants to believe that
00:07:51.460 they're making judgments like that,
00:07:53.400 you know?
00:07:53.900 Do I see color?
00:07:54.940 Yeah.
00:07:55.080 I think it's an important part
00:07:56.020 of anyone's identity.
00:07:57.380 Okay.
00:07:57.820 Yeah.
00:07:58.060 Do you make judgments off of that?
00:08:00.040 I don't think so.
00:08:01.580 I was raised to be very conservative,
00:08:03.960 but I, like, tried really hard
00:08:07.080 to unlearn a lot of them.
00:08:07.240 And you became an actress
00:08:07.880 in New York, yeah.
00:08:08.760 Well, I, before I moved,
00:08:10.380 I tried really hard to, like,
00:08:11.700 unlearn a lot of those, like, ideas.
00:08:14.160 Like what?
00:08:14.660 You grew up conservative Catholic?
00:08:16.180 Yes, I was raised Catholic.
00:08:17.200 Like, um, my family was very conservative.
00:08:20.380 My parents voted for Trump twice.
00:08:22.240 Well, Allah created all of us.
00:08:24.660 How can I see race?
00:08:26.000 How can I see color?
00:08:27.100 All that is a construct.
00:08:29.360 Allah created us from different parts
00:08:32.100 of the land.
00:08:33.140 He said that.
00:08:33.840 That's written.
00:08:34.560 So you don't make any judgments
00:08:35.820 based off of where people are from
00:08:37.700 or what they look like?
00:08:38.540 No.
00:08:39.340 Are you crazy?
00:08:40.600 Allah will make the same judgment
00:08:42.040 against you.
00:08:42.740 You don't want the same judgment
00:08:43.740 made against you.
00:08:44.840 Allah created us
00:08:46.420 for us to get to know each other,
00:08:48.360 not for us to separate
00:08:49.420 and be segregated.
00:08:50.840 As human beings,
00:08:51.720 we fail to understand
00:08:52.840 our creator.
00:08:54.420 It doesn't matter what color you are.
00:08:55.780 If you act like an asshole,
00:08:56.900 like, you're an asshole
00:08:57.580 or, like, stupid and stuff.
00:08:58.700 That's how I look at it.
00:08:59.520 I mean, there were several studies.
00:09:01.620 I don't remember where
00:09:02.380 the real big one was.
00:09:03.820 It was either MIT or Harvard
00:09:05.080 where you take specific tests
00:09:08.160 and it's specific A-B testing.
00:09:10.800 It's not,
00:09:11.700 do you have specific biases
00:09:13.140 or judgments
00:09:13.860 across all groups of people,
00:09:15.660 but, say,
00:09:16.900 between Christians and Jews
00:09:18.800 or Jews and Muslims.
00:09:20.720 And based off of word associations
00:09:23.160 or headlines
00:09:24.120 and things of that nature
00:09:25.280 and running through it,
00:09:27.100 and I'm sure this test is dated
00:09:28.440 because it's been around
00:09:29.360 at least 10, 15 years maybe,
00:09:32.980 it reveals that you may have
00:09:35.820 implicit biases
00:09:36.580 that you were not aware of.
00:09:38.120 I remember I took it.
00:09:40.080 You took this test?
00:09:40.860 Oh, yeah.
00:09:41.660 I took two different versions
00:09:43.560 of the test.
00:09:44.660 And I,
00:09:45.640 the first time I took it
00:09:46.920 was about six years ago
00:09:48.700 and it revealed that
00:09:50.100 I had a tendency
00:09:51.660 to relate,
00:09:53.860 to have more likely
00:09:55.080 to associate violence
00:09:56.320 to people of lighter skin complexions
00:09:58.020 than of darker skin complexions.
00:09:59.020 Really?
00:09:59.360 You reverse,
00:10:00.020 so you're like the opposite
00:10:00.600 of everyone else?
00:10:01.360 Yeah, well,
00:10:01.760 I'm a mixed person,
00:10:02.660 so I grew up around
00:10:03.800 a whole bunch of different
00:10:04.400 types of people
00:10:05.040 and I just,
00:10:06.720 you know,
00:10:07.160 and I grew up
00:10:08.760 in a very liberal household
00:10:09.920 where a lot of the violence
00:10:11.660 that is talked about
00:10:12.960 is, you know,
00:10:14.380 violence and acts of hate
00:10:15.720 conducted by people
00:10:17.060 of white people
00:10:18.520 lighter skin complexions.
00:10:20.040 I'm Latina,
00:10:21.080 but I'm also a mix.
00:10:22.940 I'm also a woman,
00:10:24.600 and so I am a victim
00:10:26.580 of people looking at me
00:10:28.100 and making assumptions,
00:10:29.380 observations,
00:10:29.880 so I do see it,
00:10:31.940 I observe it,
00:10:33.400 but I don't want to feel
00:10:37.440 that I am the victim
00:10:40.320 because of that.
00:10:42.120 You don't have
00:10:42.540 a victim mentality?
00:10:43.640 No.
00:10:44.600 Do you hate men?
00:10:45.780 Do you hate anyone?
00:10:46.700 Men?
00:10:47.200 Yeah.
00:10:47.660 No.
00:10:48.280 I've had bad experience
00:10:49.520 with not men,
00:10:50.640 like, relationship-wise,
00:10:51.880 but bad experience
00:10:53.160 like a pedophile
00:10:55.140 when I was a child,
00:10:56.300 but I don't.
00:10:57.000 Like, I never felt,
00:10:58.120 and so, interesting
00:10:58.880 because I started writing
00:10:59.760 about that,
00:11:00.680 and I've always wanted
00:11:01.600 to write a book,
00:11:02.500 but I paused on that section,
00:11:04.540 and two weeks ago,
00:11:05.720 I reopened it,
00:11:07.180 but I reopened it
00:11:08.420 not feeling bad about myself
00:11:10.060 and having a lot of realizations
00:11:11.460 that I didn't feel bad
00:11:13.060 about myself.
00:11:13.640 I felt pity for my mother
00:11:14.840 and felt pity for him,
00:11:16.600 like, shame on you
00:11:18.500 that you're abusing,
00:11:20.780 you're manipulating,
00:11:22.140 and your power,
00:11:23.440 and I feel sorry for you,
00:11:25.220 and, you know,
00:11:26.440 like, life, universe,
00:11:28.080 universe has a way
00:11:28.560 of giving you things back,
00:11:31.100 and I am free from that,
00:11:33.940 so.
00:11:34.780 What advice would you give
00:11:35.520 to people who want
00:11:36.220 to forget past trauma?
00:11:38.900 Well, I don't know
00:11:40.460 if you have to forget
00:11:41.800 past trauma.
00:11:42.440 I think you have to
00:11:43.000 dig it up,
00:11:44.140 look at the jewels,
00:11:45.940 polish the ones
00:11:46.680 that are dull,
00:11:48.400 and feel what you need
00:11:50.920 to feel,
00:11:51.620 because otherwise
00:11:52.220 you're just storing it away,
00:11:54.140 and that's how you deal
00:11:55.760 with your trauma,
00:11:56.960 like, you face it,
00:11:57.880 you put yourself
00:11:58.920 in a scenario
00:11:59.440 where you're that child,
00:12:00.900 like, if I was five,
00:12:03.080 or four,
00:12:04.460 or 14 again,
00:12:06.120 and just tell that child,
00:12:08.580 like, hey,
00:12:10.320 I'm here for you,
00:12:11.460 and you want that child
00:12:12.400 to be proud of who you are
00:12:13.580 at the current moment,
00:12:14.720 so vice versa.
00:12:15.560 It's really all about
00:12:17.900 going back
00:12:18.780 and opening the doors,
00:12:20.580 so that way
00:12:21.260 it's not about
00:12:22.220 closing doors,
00:12:23.380 I mean,
00:12:23.660 a lot of times
00:12:24.140 you'll hear people
00:12:24.720 saying closing the doors,
00:12:26.060 but the doors
00:12:26.860 have to reopen.
00:12:27.800 Again,
00:12:28.280 I tried, like,
00:12:28.700 really hard to unlearn
00:12:29.460 a lot of those ideals,
00:12:30.600 so I, like...
00:12:31.720 Why?
00:12:32.720 Because I don't think
00:12:33.580 that they're right
00:12:34.100 at the end of the day.
00:12:35.140 Can you give an example?
00:12:36.680 I think that gay people
00:12:38.100 aren't going to hell.
00:12:39.420 I think that abortion
00:12:40.800 is a medical care.
00:12:42.720 Like, it's not...
00:12:44.780 That should be up
00:12:45.540 to the woman
00:12:45.860 and her doctor
00:12:46.380 and no one else.
00:12:47.300 Are you still Catholic?
00:12:48.680 I still believe in God,
00:12:50.280 but I think that
00:12:50.860 organized religion is...
00:12:52.660 A scam.
00:12:53.740 Scary.
00:12:54.680 Scary.
00:12:55.320 Yes.
00:12:55.660 Okay.
00:12:56.200 So where do you think
00:12:56.780 gay people are going now?
00:12:58.060 I think that gay people
00:12:59.660 are going to heaven.
00:13:01.320 I think that if you're
00:13:02.220 a good person,
00:13:02.720 you're going to heaven,
00:13:03.380 and I don't think
00:13:03.880 that being gay is...
00:13:05.160 It's an automatic
00:13:05.780 sentence to hell.
00:13:06.720 I don't think that being gay
00:13:07.640 is a quantifier
00:13:08.980 for if you're a good person
00:13:09.820 or not.
00:13:11.080 That's fair.
00:13:11.760 Yeah.
00:13:12.040 I think a lot of people
00:13:12.760 would agree with that.
00:13:13.360 It's mostly based on,
00:13:13.980 like, we're all going
00:13:14.640 to be judged.
00:13:15.360 Yeah, exactly.
00:13:16.280 Okay.
00:13:16.800 Do your parents, like,
00:13:17.800 push back on you
00:13:18.440 for you changing
00:13:19.180 your beliefs on this?
00:13:19.980 All the time.
00:13:20.980 Yeah.
00:13:21.100 Okay, Thanksgiving dinner
00:13:21.940 is difficult.
00:13:22.660 Yeah, so we'll Easter brunch,
00:13:23.960 which is coming up.
00:13:24.720 Oh, yeah, it is.
00:13:25.180 Yeah, I'm going home
00:13:25.840 for that.
00:13:26.420 How are you going
00:13:26.760 to prepare
00:13:27.000 for that conversation?
00:13:28.600 I'm going to take
00:13:29.200 a little edible
00:13:29.780 because it's on 420.
00:13:31.660 Do you make judgments
00:13:32.440 based off of people's race?
00:13:34.740 Honestly, I feel like,
00:13:36.200 yeah, sometimes I do,
00:13:37.600 but I feel like...
00:13:38.320 I mean, I'm in a philosophy
00:13:39.160 class right now
00:13:39.800 that's about, like,
00:13:40.420 marginalized people.
00:13:42.040 And we actually
00:13:42.800 were just talking, like,
00:13:43.800 two days ago
00:13:44.460 about, like,
00:13:45.380 visualizing Jesus
00:13:46.320 and, like, the way
00:13:47.120 that, like,
00:13:47.520 people would visualize it.
00:13:48.520 And our teacher was like,
00:13:49.140 okay, visualize him black.
00:13:50.700 And the majority
00:13:51.320 of the people
00:13:51.620 could not do it
00:13:52.500 because it's like,
00:13:53.460 there are just things
00:13:53.980 like that where it's,
00:13:54.760 like, it's a very...
00:13:56.260 Wait, but everybody
00:13:56.840 can visualize him white?
00:13:57.880 Right, exactly.
00:13:58.760 But he wasn't white.
00:14:00.120 He wasn't white at all.
00:14:00.940 So that's the thing.
00:14:01.980 It's like, I don't know,
00:14:02.640 I feel like this world
00:14:03.340 is very anti-black
00:14:05.800 and it kind of
00:14:06.620 is moving backwards.
00:14:07.840 You think so?
00:14:08.540 In a sense.
00:14:09.080 Oh, yeah, I do.
00:14:10.220 I mean, it's obvious
00:14:11.000 you have to.
00:14:11.820 I'm not gonna lie
00:14:12.400 and say I don't see race.
00:14:13.240 I'm not fucking colorblind.
00:14:14.400 But me seeing race
00:14:15.380 doesn't mean that
00:14:15.880 I have to dictate
00:14:16.540 how I'm gonna treat
00:14:17.200 someone differently
00:14:17.720 because of that.
00:14:18.560 Just because you're
00:14:19.080 a different type of brown
00:14:19.860 than I am,
00:14:20.460 someone's a different type
00:14:21.120 of purple
00:14:21.480 or a different type of white
00:14:22.240 doesn't mean I'm gonna
00:14:22.820 take away their right
00:14:23.540 to vote or live
00:14:25.220 where they want to live
00:14:25.980 or be treated
00:14:26.780 like a fucking human being.
00:14:27.860 That's basic.
00:14:28.640 That's the basis.
00:14:29.540 It's the basis.
00:14:30.800 Nowhere in that
00:14:31.660 holy Bible did Jesus say
00:14:33.100 treat everyone
00:14:33.940 like an absolute
00:14:34.600 piece of shit
00:14:35.200 because they're not
00:14:35.840 your fucking
00:14:36.320 natural born neighbor.
00:14:37.660 Nowhere in that book.
00:14:38.960 Nowhere in that book.
00:14:40.440 So again,
00:14:41.040 the same people
00:14:41.520 who are telling you
00:14:42.040 to follow that book
00:14:42.680 don't follow the teachings
00:14:43.620 in that book.
00:14:44.340 The same people
00:14:44.960 who pay you
00:14:45.500 to come up here
00:14:46.000 and do this
00:14:46.420 are the same people
00:14:46.960 who throw you
00:14:47.400 under the bus
00:14:47.880 with a Hitler salute
00:14:49.840 or some bullshit.
00:14:50.860 The same people
00:14:51.320 like Nick Fuentes
00:14:51.980 will get a million views
00:14:53.080 off you
00:14:53.460 and then chuck you
00:14:54.040 to the side
00:14:54.600 because it's easy
00:14:55.480 to throw you
00:14:56.060 under the bus
00:14:56.600 than to take accountability
00:14:57.600 for their own
00:14:58.360 fucking actions.
00:14:59.300 And who's left
00:14:59.840 on the wayside?
00:15:00.800 Us.
00:15:01.480 People who really
00:15:02.160 had a fucking dream.
00:15:03.040 People who really
00:15:03.500 wanted to do something.
00:15:04.180 People who had a voice
00:15:04.940 and they destroy us first.
00:15:06.960 Fred Hampton,
00:15:07.780 Malcolm X,
00:15:08.440 Martin Luther King,
00:15:09.120 whoever the fuck
00:15:09.680 has a voice
00:15:10.140 that has a power,
00:15:11.060 they destroy you
00:15:11.780 first and foremost.
00:15:13.100 Why?
00:15:13.520 Because you may have
00:15:14.520 a result
00:15:14.940 and you can change
00:15:15.660 the future.
00:15:16.500 You have that power,
00:15:17.480 Sneeko.
00:15:18.120 Do you judge people
00:15:18.860 based off of their race?
00:15:20.580 No.
00:15:21.100 It's pointless.
00:15:23.700 Okay.
00:15:24.660 So when you see race,
00:15:26.140 what do you think?
00:15:28.060 When I see race,
00:15:28.960 I think of
00:15:29.900 systemics.
00:15:32.160 I think of intersectionality.
00:15:33.580 I think of the way
00:15:34.220 things are intertwined
00:15:35.120 into society.
00:15:36.520 So like,
00:15:37.020 when I see race,
00:15:37.580 I see like,
00:15:39.480 I live in like
00:15:40.220 Flatbush.
00:15:40.920 When I see race,
00:15:41.520 I see the fact that
00:15:43.840 everybody's kind of
00:15:44.620 boarded into somewhere
00:15:45.380 and I know that
00:15:46.220 people don't have
00:15:46.700 property like me
00:15:47.520 in certain places
00:15:48.100 because of redlining.
00:15:49.320 Or I see
00:15:49.960 more police
00:15:50.780 in my train stations
00:15:51.600 than,
00:15:52.580 let's say like,
00:15:54.040 4th Ave
00:15:54.760 and Bay Ridge
00:15:55.620 or something like that.
00:15:56.460 When I see race,
00:15:56.920 I see small things
00:15:57.500 like that.
00:15:57.900 Intricacies
00:15:58.340 are politics,
00:16:00.960 the way things
00:16:01.480 are worded in the news,
00:16:03.840 mortality rates.
00:16:05.740 Do you see race?
00:16:07.320 What do you mean?
00:16:08.160 Do you see color?
00:16:08.940 Do you see race?
00:16:10.240 Yes.
00:16:11.100 Do you make judgments
00:16:11.720 off of that?
00:16:12.780 No.
00:16:13.920 Well,
00:16:14.420 I feel like we're
00:16:15.560 raised to,
00:16:17.980 we're taught at school
00:16:18.840 also to,
00:16:20.440 I feel like we're all
00:16:21.380 divided in some
00:16:22.160 sort of ways,
00:16:22.900 but I see myself
00:16:24.440 as a global citizen
00:16:25.280 so I don't really
00:16:26.800 like judge
00:16:27.960 by race at all.
00:16:30.000 At all?
00:16:30.940 No,
00:16:31.380 I don't think so.
00:16:32.560 No,
00:16:32.900 I see everybody
00:16:33.500 as equal.
00:16:34.160 I mean,
00:16:34.360 I don't treat people
00:16:34.980 differently based on
00:16:35.800 how they're dressed,
00:16:36.540 how they act.
00:16:37.800 Well,
00:16:38.180 how they act is different
00:16:39.020 but I mean,
00:16:39.600 who they are as a person
00:16:40.460 doesn't matter to me.
00:16:41.660 So,
00:16:42.020 when do you make
00:16:42.520 judgments of somebody?
00:16:43.800 Based on their actions,
00:16:44.760 based on their character,
00:16:45.660 how they treat other people
00:16:46.640 and if they respect others
00:16:48.220 and animals especially.
00:16:49.720 If they don't like animals,
00:16:50.660 they're fucked up.
00:16:51.300 I judge people
00:16:52.960 by their character,
00:16:53.880 not by their race.
00:16:55.020 You make no judgments
00:16:55.720 off race?
00:16:57.040 At all?
00:16:58.240 Do you notice
00:16:58.920 any anti-white bias at all?
00:17:01.760 I don't,
00:17:02.420 I don't know.
00:17:02.980 I mean,
00:17:03.200 I feel like being white,
00:17:04.640 I'm very privileged
00:17:05.540 and like I recognize
00:17:06.740 that I have privilege
00:17:07.600 and like I have the power
00:17:09.060 to change things
00:17:11.040 and like to see that like
00:17:11.980 there are things
00:17:12.460 that need to be changed
00:17:13.600 but I mean,
00:17:15.460 personally like towards me,
00:17:16.760 like I have not felt
00:17:18.000 any type of like
00:17:18.800 anti-white bias
00:17:20.840 just about anything
00:17:21.580 really in my life
00:17:22.360 and like that's a privilege
00:17:23.140 that I haven't felt that.
00:17:26.300 You don't notice any,
00:17:27.580 like anything at all?
00:17:31.800 Okay,
00:17:32.320 how about this?
00:17:32.780 Remember during George Floyd?
00:17:34.240 Yeah.
00:17:34.500 When white people
00:17:35.240 were like bowing down
00:17:36.260 to black people's feet?
00:17:37.760 Yeah.
00:17:38.300 Do you think
00:17:38.580 that that was right?
00:17:40.640 I mean,
00:17:41.500 I think in regards
00:17:43.320 to like Black Lives Matter
00:17:44.520 and stuff,
00:17:44.980 like I mean,
00:17:45.380 police brutality
00:17:46.020 is kind of its own thing
00:17:47.360 and I feel like of course
00:17:49.540 there's always prejudice
00:17:51.000 towards specific like races
00:17:54.760 and I mean,
00:17:56.820 I don't know,
00:17:57.440 it's like I think
00:17:57.880 it's in our power
00:17:58.460 to recognize
00:17:58.960 that there are things
00:17:59.700 that are wrong
00:18:01.080 but I mean,
00:18:02.800 it's about like equality
00:18:03.800 in the end,
00:18:04.560 like it's,
00:18:05.000 you know,
00:18:05.980 about between like race
00:18:07.100 and also like for,
00:18:08.320 you know,
00:18:09.780 female and male
00:18:10.500 and like,
00:18:10.940 you know,
00:18:11.160 so much other as well
00:18:12.480 but I don't know,
00:18:14.480 I don't know
00:18:14.860 how to answer that.
00:18:17.300 So you just,
00:18:18.040 loving everyone
00:18:18.740 is the way to go.
00:18:19.440 Yeah.
00:18:20.180 So James,
00:18:20.800 you're 12 years old.
00:18:21.920 Yeah.
00:18:22.300 What do you want to be
00:18:22.840 when you grow up?
00:18:23.860 I want to be
00:18:24.460 a professional hockey player.
00:18:26.200 Are you on track
00:18:26.920 to do that?
00:18:28.680 Hopefully.
00:18:29.240 I think I'm doing good
00:18:30.040 so far.
00:18:31.220 I'm working hard
00:18:31.940 at practices,
00:18:33.600 doing my best
00:18:34.580 but I really think
00:18:35.340 if I keep going
00:18:36.080 I have a chance.
00:18:36.980 It's a difficult sport.
00:18:37.880 There's a lot of fighting
00:18:38.560 and it's a lot of training.
00:18:39.660 I know.
00:18:40.240 Part of that's the reason
00:18:40.920 I play it.
00:18:41.400 I like how tough
00:18:42.760 you have to be
00:18:43.140 to play it.
00:18:44.180 It's a very hard sport
00:18:45.400 but that's what
00:18:46.000 I like about it.
00:18:47.000 Why hockey?
00:18:47.640 Why do you want to
00:18:48.320 be a professional
00:18:48.980 hockey player?
00:18:51.380 Well,
00:18:51.760 not because of a pay.
00:18:52.640 I pay a lot
00:18:53.420 but I really have
00:18:54.680 a love for the sport.
00:18:55.740 I mean,
00:18:56.780 I come to practice
00:18:57.860 and I'm just happy
00:18:58.540 to be there.
00:18:59.340 I really love hockey.
00:19:00.460 It's a big passion of mine.
00:19:02.280 Do you work at it
00:19:03.180 every single day?
00:19:05.320 I have spring break now
00:19:06.620 so every day this week
00:19:08.500 I'm doing privates
00:19:09.500 but usually on
00:19:11.360 weekdays I can
00:19:12.340 because I have school
00:19:13.040 and homework.
00:19:14.200 Well,
00:19:14.320 you can still do drills
00:19:15.000 in your room.
00:19:15.640 You can still work out.
00:19:16.480 You can do push-ups.
00:19:17.000 I shoot pucks sometimes
00:19:17.720 but I don't really do
00:19:18.680 any body weight.
00:19:19.280 I should do some
00:19:20.240 body weight exercises
00:19:20.940 like push-ups,
00:19:22.040 squats,
00:19:22.480 lunges
00:19:22.840 but I don't really.
00:19:23.760 Something you can do
00:19:24.220 in your room.
00:19:24.600 Why not?
00:19:24.900 Instead of playing
00:19:25.280 Fortnite,
00:19:25.740 you should get that done.
00:19:26.520 I should.
00:19:27.040 I truly should.
00:19:27.880 Yeah.
00:19:28.480 Well,
00:19:28.720 if you want to be
00:19:29.120 professional,
00:19:29.640 I think the best advice
00:19:30.580 I can give you
00:19:31.120 is start now
00:19:32.400 because there's someone else.
00:19:33.600 The future best hockey player
00:19:35.400 is doing those push-ups.
00:19:37.320 So next time you're playing
00:19:38.160 Fortnite or something,
00:19:38.920 remember that the
00:19:39.740 next best player
00:19:40.760 is doing what you're not doing.
00:19:42.480 Yeah.
00:19:42.820 At that moment.
00:19:44.060 Hey,
00:19:44.300 but Sam,
00:19:44.660 I wish all the best success
00:19:45.780 to you, man.
00:19:46.200 You're going to make it
00:19:46.740 one day if you work hard.
00:19:47.640 Thank you.
00:19:48.560 What did you want to be
00:19:49.500 when you grew up?
00:19:51.440 Funny enough,
00:19:51.980 I loved the ocean a lot
00:19:53.560 and I thought I wanted
00:19:54.480 to be a marine biologist
00:19:55.500 when I was a young kid
00:19:56.900 because I thought
00:19:57.980 it was just
00:19:58.320 you just go out in boats
00:19:59.300 and look at fish
00:20:00.500 and things,
00:20:01.360 you know?
00:20:02.000 Take pictures of fish
00:20:02.920 and all that.
00:20:04.120 But now,
00:20:04.940 like,
00:20:05.500 I make music,
00:20:06.380 I work in the music industry
00:20:07.600 so...
00:20:08.620 Complete 180.
00:20:10.040 Oh, yeah.
00:20:11.320 Especially when I learned
00:20:12.300 that marine biology
00:20:13.220 is not about
00:20:14.860 taking pictures of fish.
00:20:16.540 What did you want to be
00:20:17.220 when you grew up?
00:20:18.860 When I was really young,
00:20:20.100 I wanted to be an astronaut.
00:20:21.260 Did, like,
00:20:21.460 a whole project on it,
00:20:22.780 made, like,
00:20:23.160 a whole diagram.
00:20:24.540 And then all my friends
00:20:25.540 when I was kids,
00:20:26.400 they told me I would die
00:20:27.380 if I was an astronaut
00:20:28.020 so I threw that away.
00:20:30.100 You threw it away
00:20:30.560 because of your friends?
00:20:31.380 Yeah,
00:20:31.580 my friends told me
00:20:32.060 I was going to die.
00:20:32.680 I was scared shitless, bro.
00:20:34.180 Do you regret
00:20:34.720 not following that?
00:20:35.440 I don't know about astronomy.
00:20:38.400 I guess when I got older
00:20:39.720 as well,
00:20:40.160 I kind of realized
00:20:40.560 that, like,
00:20:41.400 space wasn't, like,
00:20:42.220 super interesting to me.
00:20:44.000 From there,
00:20:45.080 I guess, like,
00:20:45.560 the past that I really
00:20:46.260 thought about
00:20:46.620 were, like,
00:20:47.380 I was pretty involved
00:20:47.920 in robotics
00:20:48.460 in high school.
00:20:49.720 When do you think
00:20:50.320 it's too old
00:20:51.720 to still try
00:20:52.480 to pursue your passions?
00:20:53.700 It's never too old.
00:20:54.880 I'm starting ballet
00:20:56.300 at 50.
00:20:57.820 So,
00:20:58.420 it's never too old.
00:20:59.360 So, like,
00:21:00.020 being 50,
00:21:00.780 I am, like,
00:21:01.520 being a child again.
00:21:02.780 So,
00:21:03.440 I'm getting to, like,
00:21:05.060 see myself
00:21:05.820 in a different light.
00:21:06.820 So,
00:21:07.080 two months into
00:21:08.200 absolute beginner ballet.
00:21:12.400 I wanted to be
00:21:12.860 a veterinarian.
00:21:13.940 Are you doing that?
00:21:14.880 No,
00:21:15.320 I'm studying fashion
00:21:16.480 and marketing.
00:21:17.720 Do you go to FIT?
00:21:18.580 No.
00:21:19.720 Okay.
00:21:19.980 Local community.
00:21:20.980 So,
00:21:21.380 when did you change
00:21:22.020 from veterinarian
00:21:23.100 to fashion?
00:21:23.540 That's a big jump.
00:21:24.200 I didn't want to see
00:21:25.060 animals die.
00:21:26.580 That was, like,
00:21:27.260 not my thing.
00:21:28.100 Yeah.
00:21:28.380 I just like helping them,
00:21:29.520 but I'd rather have
00:21:30.320 multiple pets
00:21:30.940 than just be a veterinarian.
00:21:32.000 Do you prefer cats
00:21:33.000 or dogs?
00:21:33.600 I have two cats, so.
00:21:34.960 You don't like dogs?
00:21:35.720 I love dogs.
00:21:36.720 You do?
00:21:36.920 I love all animals.
00:21:37.880 You kind of remind me
00:21:39.020 of a cat,
00:21:39.420 but why don't you have dogs?
00:21:40.740 I live in an apartment,
00:21:41.920 so it wouldn't be fair.
00:21:42.900 It needs, like,
00:21:43.360 room to roam around.
00:21:44.380 Oh, okay.
00:21:45.120 What did you want to be
00:21:45.820 when you grew up?
00:21:46.920 I want to be a vet,
00:21:48.080 still.
00:21:49.160 You in school for that?
00:21:50.320 Not yet.
00:21:51.220 I'm a vet assistant
00:21:52.280 right now.
00:21:53.260 Okay.
00:21:53.560 So,
00:21:53.800 working my way.
00:21:55.140 Oh,
00:21:55.400 so you're going to achieve it?
00:21:56.320 Yes.
00:21:56.820 Have you always wanted
00:21:57.440 to be a vet?
00:21:58.260 Yes.
00:21:59.520 What is it about animals
00:22:00.500 that you like so much?
00:22:02.300 Just the innocence.
00:22:03.460 Like, you know,
00:22:03.920 they don't have a voice
00:22:04.680 for themselves,
00:22:05.500 so, you know,
00:22:06.060 I want to be that voice,
00:22:07.120 help out.
00:22:08.820 Which animals
00:22:09.520 do you mostly take care of?
00:22:10.840 I have three cats right now.
00:22:12.620 I do cat and dog vaccines.
00:22:14.060 I help out,
00:22:14.860 but I love all animals.
00:22:16.260 I originally wanted
00:22:17.040 to do, like,
00:22:18.020 marine,
00:22:18.640 so, like,
00:22:19.420 sharks and stuff like that.
00:22:21.240 And now I notice
00:22:21.840 you have the cat sweater on.
00:22:23.120 Yes.
00:22:23.900 You represent?
00:22:24.620 Yeah,
00:22:25.020 I've got three cats.
00:22:26.080 They're all old men.
00:22:27.140 What did you want to be
00:22:27.700 when you grew up?
00:22:29.000 Baseball player.
00:22:30.560 Are you Dominican?
00:22:31.440 Yes, sir.
00:22:32.120 How you know that?
00:22:33.440 Baseball,
00:22:33.940 you know,
00:22:34.280 uptown.
00:22:35.600 Facts, facts.
00:22:36.460 Yeah.
00:22:36.860 Did you do it?
00:22:38.160 Nah.
00:22:39.160 Got as far as college,
00:22:40.140 that's all.
00:22:41.360 How come you
00:22:41.960 couldn't make it further?
00:22:43.820 Not that nice,
00:22:44.580 I guess.
00:22:45.520 What position?
00:22:46.120 Shortstop?
00:22:46.760 Second base shortstop.
00:22:47.880 Second base shortstop.
00:22:48.580 Yeah.
00:22:49.520 Okay.
00:22:49.920 I'm two for two right now.
00:22:51.140 Yeah,
00:22:51.580 you are.
00:22:52.100 Yeah,
00:22:52.300 yeah.
00:22:52.440 Did you regret it?
00:22:53.300 I mean,
00:22:53.680 do you have any regrets?
00:22:55.140 Eh.
00:22:57.160 I had a kid too,
00:22:58.500 so no,
00:22:59.140 I don't regret it actually.
00:23:00.040 Oh, okay.
00:23:00.460 How many kids do you have?
00:23:01.340 Three.
00:23:01.980 Three?
00:23:02.540 Yeah.
00:23:02.960 Dang.
00:23:04.200 What's the,
00:23:04.960 can I ask,
00:23:05.540 all the same mom?
00:23:06.720 The oldest?
00:23:07.720 Well,
00:23:08.060 is it all the same mom
00:23:08.960 for all three?
00:23:09.300 No, no,
00:23:09.780 three different baby moms,
00:23:10.820 man.
00:23:10.980 All three?
00:23:11.980 I'm Dominican,
00:23:12.720 they're just saying.
00:23:13.100 Come on,
00:23:13.580 man.
00:23:13.800 Que lo que,
00:23:14.400 wah, wah, wah.
00:23:15.220 You're slaying.
00:23:15.820 Facts,
00:23:16.220 wah, wah, wah.
00:23:16.760 Wah, wah, wah.
00:23:18.260 I guess I want to get
00:23:19.900 a good job
00:23:20.600 and be rich enough
00:23:21.980 to travel the world.
00:23:23.320 Are you on track
00:23:23.940 to do that?
00:23:25.280 Yeah,
00:23:25.700 I think so.
00:23:28.440 What do you mean
00:23:29.020 you think so?
00:23:29.580 Yeah.
00:23:30.320 I don't know
00:23:31.020 if I'm on the right track
00:23:32.020 though,
00:23:32.840 but I'm trying to be.
00:23:34.320 How old are you?
00:23:35.580 I'm 20,
00:23:36.120 oh,
00:23:36.240 how old do you think
00:23:37.120 I am?
00:23:38.680 So 20,
00:23:39.500 I already said 20,
00:23:40.320 yeah.
00:23:41.000 20,
00:23:41.760 22?
00:23:42.900 22?
00:23:43.580 Yeah,
00:23:43.860 I guess so.
00:23:44.160 Thanks a lot,
00:23:44.660 I appreciate that.
00:23:45.760 They say I'm pushing 30,
00:23:47.000 I'm 26,
00:23:47.900 I'm about to be 27.
00:23:49.120 Oh,
00:23:49.360 okay.
00:23:49.620 Mentally,
00:23:50.040 I already say I'm 30
00:23:50.980 so that by the time
00:23:51.620 I'm 30,
00:23:52.460 it's not going to hit
00:23:53.060 like a train,
00:23:53.780 you know?
00:23:54.140 I want to be mentally
00:23:55.080 ready for that.
00:23:56.220 So in my head,
00:23:57.200 I'm already 30 mentally.
00:23:59.020 You're from here.
00:23:59.640 You've said enough,
00:24:02.600 we've heard all you need
00:24:03.360 to say,
00:24:03.800 Jesus Christ.
00:24:04.620 That's why I'm
00:24:05.080 interviewing people.
00:24:06.980 Genius.
00:24:07.720 Do you still think
00:24:08.160 space is real
00:24:08.760 after seeing Katy Perry
00:24:09.680 and Gayle King
00:24:10.360 and Jeff Bezos'
00:24:11.300 wife go in that
00:24:12.020 little round tube
00:24:13.480 and float in the air?
00:24:14.280 Do you think it's real?
00:24:15.320 I think it's real
00:24:15.860 because Dude Perfect
00:24:16.600 did a video
00:24:17.080 where they went up
00:24:18.520 and I trust them.
00:24:20.140 No part of you
00:24:20.840 thinks that the Earth
00:24:21.340 is flat and space is fake?
00:24:22.560 No,
00:24:22.840 unfortunately not.
00:24:23.680 No,
00:24:23.820 so when are normal
00:24:25.120 people going to go
00:24:25.640 besides Gayle King
00:24:26.280 and Katy Perry?
00:24:26.720 When can we go to space?
00:24:28.240 That's a good question
00:24:29.040 because maybe if we never go
00:24:30.100 then it's true
00:24:31.480 that it's not real.
00:24:32.260 I think soon,
00:24:33.180 50 to 70 years
00:24:34.540 if you consider that soon.
00:24:35.980 50 years?
00:24:36.700 Yeah,
00:24:37.020 yeah.
00:24:37.300 If Katy Perry can go now
00:24:38.360 then we should be able to go.
00:24:39.460 Well,
00:24:39.760 I think it's about
00:24:40.340 affordability,
00:24:41.000 right?
00:24:42.160 I think within 50 years
00:24:43.540 it becomes relatively affordable.
00:24:45.260 Maybe like
00:24:45.640 upper class can afford it.
00:24:48.100 Alright,
00:24:48.380 alright,
00:24:48.620 so what advice
00:24:49.680 would you give to new fathers?
00:24:52.080 Man,
00:24:52.500 just love your kids,
00:24:53.800 man.
00:24:54.040 Just love your kids
00:24:54.740 and be the best dad
00:24:55.760 you can be.
00:24:57.320 The best dad you can be.
00:24:58.200 Respect the mom
00:24:59.380 and provide.
00:25:01.880 Is it difficult
00:25:02.540 to have three different
00:25:04.460 baby mamas?
00:25:05.340 Yes,
00:25:05.580 it is.
00:25:06.120 It's expensive.
00:25:07.100 Yeah.
00:25:07.460 And a lot of drama.
00:25:08.500 Oh,
00:25:08.720 yeah.
00:25:09.280 That's a fact.
00:25:09.980 Do they know each other?
00:25:11.000 Technically they do
00:25:14.800 but they don't.
00:25:16.260 So they know
00:25:16.780 all of each other
00:25:17.240 but they haven't met?
00:25:17.720 They know each other
00:25:18.160 but they met
00:25:18.820 like one met one
00:25:19.920 met one
00:25:20.620 met the other.
00:25:21.460 The one that I'm currently with
00:25:22.900 has met all
00:25:23.700 both of them.
00:25:24.480 She knows all three.
00:25:26.180 She knows all two.
00:25:27.060 All the other two.
00:25:27.760 Yeah,
00:25:27.940 yeah.
00:25:28.100 She hates them.
00:25:29.280 Yeah,
00:25:29.480 no,
00:25:29.580 they're cool.
00:25:30.300 Oh,
00:25:30.400 yeah?
00:25:30.660 They're cool.
00:25:31.420 Okay.
00:25:32.220 Yeah,
00:25:32.520 I keep a cordial,
00:25:33.560 you know?
00:25:33.940 Yeah,
00:25:34.240 yeah,
00:25:34.360 yeah.
00:25:34.840 So why is it expensive?
00:25:35.960 Is it the child support
00:25:36.760 or is it the transportation?
00:25:37.520 Kids,
00:25:38.000 kids,
00:25:38.380 kids,
00:25:38.600 kids could be expensive
00:25:39.740 and like that,
00:25:41.580 like me having a home
00:25:43.100 and having to support them
00:25:44.180 as well,
00:25:44.740 supporting myself
00:25:45.400 and them.
00:25:46.200 Yeah.
00:25:46.360 You know what I mean?
00:25:47.600 Got to keep up with me
00:25:48.600 and them.
00:25:49.920 Are you done pumping them out
00:25:50.860 or are you going to keep on going?
00:25:52.040 The one I'm with right now
00:25:53.780 wants another one
00:25:54.480 so that may be,
00:25:55.500 you know,
00:25:56.020 another one may be in the way.
00:25:57.360 Best of luck.
00:25:57.920 I mean,
00:25:58.160 it's not too late.
00:25:58.840 How old are you?
00:25:59.880 35.
00:26:00.600 Yeah,
00:26:00.800 you can still play ball?
00:26:01.640 You can still play baseball?
00:26:02.480 I play softball.
00:26:03.540 Okay.
00:26:03.900 Yeah,
00:26:04.020 I play softball
00:26:04.620 summertime now
00:26:05.340 and I'm coaching
00:26:06.600 two of my two young sons
00:26:08.300 so I coach them.
00:26:09.400 Oh,
00:26:09.620 that's dope,
00:26:10.020 that's dope.
00:26:10.340 Yeah,
00:26:10.600 so I'm still in the
00:26:11.680 baseball process.
00:26:13.360 Yeah,
00:26:13.380 yeah,
00:26:13.400 okay.
00:26:14.740 When did you realize
00:26:15.620 you wanted to be a baseball player?
00:26:17.780 Alex Rodriguez,
00:26:18.840 1996,
00:26:19.700 1995.
00:26:20.660 I was five years old.
00:26:21.820 Alex Rodriguez?
00:26:22.740 Yeah.
00:26:23.040 He's been playing that long?
00:26:24.200 He was,
00:26:24.700 he signed to Seattle
00:26:26.460 in 95,
00:26:27.200 I believe,
00:26:27.620 yes.
00:26:27.980 Dressed up,
00:26:28.400 what are you dressed up for?
00:26:29.520 I'm dressed up for my job.
00:26:31.120 What are you dressed up for?
00:26:32.060 I'm about to do a LinkedIn photo.
00:26:33.820 A LinkedIn photo?
00:26:34.680 LinkedIn photo.
00:26:35.180 What job are you applying for?
00:26:36.940 For banking,
00:26:37.860 for finance.
00:26:38.940 How old are you?
00:26:39.980 22.
00:26:40.380 What did you want to be
00:26:41.360 when you grew up?
00:26:42.600 When I wanted to grow up?
00:26:44.200 I wanted to be a meteorologist.
00:26:45.620 at first when I was younger
00:26:46.760 because I loved the weather
00:26:48.120 so I was always like
00:26:49.120 watching the weather channel
00:26:50.000 and stuff.
00:26:50.820 When did you give up on that?
00:26:52.680 It kind of just went away
00:26:53.780 over time
00:26:54.340 and then like
00:26:55.320 I wanted to be a YouTuber
00:26:56.260 and that was like
00:26:56.860 the biggest thing.
00:26:57.840 When did you give up on that?
00:26:59.580 I don't think I ever gave up on it.
00:27:01.560 Like,
00:27:01.720 it's still in me a little bit.
00:27:03.220 Like,
00:27:03.460 I wanted to make videos
00:27:04.960 like Jideon,
00:27:05.700 like Loaf
00:27:06.180 and stuff like that
00:27:06.960 and then like
00:27:08.160 because I like doing stuff like that
00:27:10.420 but then like
00:27:10.980 I tell myself like
00:27:12.320 do I want to do that?
00:27:13.260 Like,
00:27:13.980 is it worth it?
00:27:14.820 And like,
00:27:15.220 am I going to do good?
00:27:16.060 And stuff like that
00:27:16.640 because it's like
00:27:17.260 nowadays there's so many people
00:27:18.640 doing those types of videos
00:27:19.680 and like they're kind of making
00:27:21.080 like a bad rep for everybody.
00:27:22.540 Like,
00:27:22.880 you know the ones
00:27:23.520 like in the Home Depot
00:27:24.200 and stuff like screaming
00:27:25.000 and stuff like that.
00:27:25.540 Tali just got arrested
00:27:26.400 in the Philippines
00:27:27.060 for doing that type of stuff.
00:27:28.460 No,
00:27:28.660 but he was crazy for that.
00:27:29.660 Yeah,
00:27:29.760 he was.
00:27:30.620 I hope he can do better.
00:27:32.240 Do you think we need men?
00:27:34.180 Yeah.
00:27:34.460 I mean,
00:27:35.100 I feel like
00:27:35.580 if a man acts like
00:27:38.340 a normal person
00:27:39.580 then it's still
00:27:40.660 I don't understand
00:27:42.200 people that say
00:27:42.820 I hate all men
00:27:43.600 because there are good people
00:27:45.240 they're just encountering
00:27:46.460 bad people
00:27:47.100 and I think that men
00:27:48.000 are definitely necessary.
00:27:51.240 Do you have friends
00:27:51.720 that say I hate all men?
00:27:53.880 No.
00:27:54.380 No.
00:27:55.080 I don't surround myself
00:27:56.320 with people that I wouldn't
00:27:57.240 act like the same way.
00:27:58.580 Who do you surround
00:27:59.200 yourself with?
00:28:00.020 Right now,
00:28:00.560 just my
00:28:01.100 my sister,
00:28:03.400 my siblings,
00:28:04.460 and my cats
00:28:05.340 and my parents.
00:28:06.280 I live a pretty
00:28:06.980 peaceful life.
00:28:08.240 Women are losing
00:28:09.020 their rights.
00:28:09.980 Black LGBT
00:28:10.620 we're all
00:28:11.140 what rights
00:28:12.260 are women losing?
00:28:13.660 Right?
00:28:14.200 Abortion.
00:28:15.000 The right to feel safe
00:28:16.180 in their own fucking space.
00:28:17.460 The right to feel safe?
00:28:18.520 Yeah.
00:28:18.880 How are they losing that?
00:28:19.880 Simple.
00:28:20.360 Because when people
00:28:21.000 keep on coming to them
00:28:22.000 and saying that
00:28:22.560 what they fear
00:28:23.260 isn't real
00:28:23.940 like a boogeyman
00:28:25.880 or a Sasquatch
00:28:27.020 when in actuality
00:28:28.220 it's happening.
00:28:29.080 93%
00:28:29.920 of sexual assault victims
00:28:31.940 are committed by
00:28:33.160 straight,
00:28:33.840 white men
00:28:35.220 who practice
00:28:35.980 some form of religion.
00:28:37.180 It's not drag queens,
00:28:38.280 it's not the gays,
00:28:39.560 it's straight white men.
00:28:40.780 93%
00:28:41.840 of sexual assault victims,
00:28:44.240 okay?
00:28:44.820 40%
00:28:45.800 of police officers
00:28:47.360 have reported
00:28:47.920 spousal abuse
00:28:48.740 in their home.
00:28:49.580 We want to start looking
00:28:50.400 at the calls
00:28:50.780 coming from inside the house.
00:28:52.060 And when we do stuff
00:28:52.820 like this,
00:28:53.580 when we don't address
00:28:54.300 those problems
00:28:54.800 and we just try to
00:28:55.500 follow up for social media clout,
00:28:57.600 it doesn't put us anywhere
00:28:58.400 but on the wrong side
00:28:59.540 of history.
00:28:59.900 I don't want to see you
00:29:01.680 on the wrong side
00:29:02.220 of history,
00:29:02.660 Sneeko.
00:29:03.240 What do you think
00:29:03.760 about the rising
00:29:04.960 amount of white nationalists
00:29:07.440 who think that there's
00:29:08.000 an anti-white sentiment
00:29:08.960 in the country?
00:29:10.000 Do you empathize
00:29:10.780 with that belief at all?
00:29:14.560 No.
00:29:15.280 This country was made
00:29:16.500 by,
00:29:18.020 this country was founded
00:29:18.900 by white men
00:29:19.780 at a time where
00:29:21.020 women didn't really have
00:29:22.120 any real agency
00:29:24.100 in anything they said
00:29:25.360 or did.
00:29:25.860 So it was realistically
00:29:26.880 founded by white men
00:29:27.920 before white men.
00:29:28.940 It wasn't really a country
00:29:29.940 that was all-inclusive
00:29:30.720 of indigenous people.
00:29:32.140 It wasn't a country
00:29:32.680 that was indigenous
00:29:33.360 of black people
00:29:33.940 for any reason
00:29:34.600 if we know why.
00:29:36.600 And what we would call
00:29:38.160 Latino people today
00:29:39.000 at the time
00:29:39.520 are technically
00:29:39.940 also indigenous.
00:29:40.920 So I don't really
00:29:42.820 agree with anything
00:29:44.420 white nationalists
00:29:45.040 have to say about anything
00:29:45.780 because their belief
00:29:46.980 isn't based in reality.
00:29:48.060 It's not based in fact.
00:29:48.980 Right.
00:29:49.220 It's based in feelings
00:29:50.440 on what they can see
00:29:51.840 and what they don't understand.
00:29:53.140 Do you hate white people?
00:29:54.960 Nah, I was just
00:29:55.520 chomping it up
00:29:56.400 with this one girl
00:29:56.920 I met at my job.
00:29:57.680 This white girl
00:29:58.240 behind the bar
00:30:00.060 just now.
00:30:00.780 I don't have a problem
00:30:01.220 with white people.
00:30:01.760 I grew up with white people.
00:30:03.720 I was friends
00:30:04.300 with white kids
00:30:04.820 in elementary school.
00:30:06.360 One of my closest friends
00:30:07.400 in elementary school
00:30:08.100 was one of my friends
00:30:08.980 Oleg.
00:30:09.420 Oleg was Russian.
00:30:10.720 He used to teach us
00:30:11.200 curse words.
00:30:11.740 We used to run around
00:30:12.260 saying all types of shit
00:30:13.460 in Russian in school.
00:30:14.980 I don't have a problem
00:30:15.500 with white people.
00:30:15.960 White people,
00:30:16.360 that's not the problem.
00:30:17.120 It's not more so white people.
00:30:18.500 It's ideas.
00:30:20.540 Because a person
00:30:21.360 can't be inherently idle.
00:30:22.660 It can't be inherently bad.
00:30:24.060 That's doing them
00:30:24.720 a disservice
00:30:25.240 because every person
00:30:26.080 has the opportunity
00:30:27.500 to grow and change
00:30:28.500 and you're never
00:30:29.360 the same person
00:30:29.840 you were yesterday.
00:30:30.900 But the ideas
00:30:31.960 that are more present
00:30:33.440 in white communities
00:30:36.300 are inherently cancerous
00:30:37.880 to everybody else.
00:30:39.100 That's not me
00:30:39.440 hating white people.
00:30:40.360 That's me hating
00:30:40.940 a social structure
00:30:43.720 that's promoted
00:30:44.360 ideas in their community
00:30:46.520 that hasn't properly
00:30:47.580 been dismantled.
00:30:48.420 We got to look
00:30:48.980 at the consequences of that.
00:30:49.720 I don't hate white people.
00:30:51.920 No problem with white people.
00:30:52.880 Okay, so what made you
00:30:53.760 start watching my content?
00:30:54.900 Well, you went off YouTube
00:30:56.160 and then I couldn't
00:30:57.420 find you anywhere.
00:30:59.060 So you stopped watching?
00:31:00.320 I know, I stopped watching.
00:31:01.260 I post on Twitter every day.
00:31:02.500 Okay, I'm not on Twitter.
00:31:03.780 What did you want to be
00:31:04.420 when you grew up?
00:31:05.780 Well, I wanted to be a dentist
00:31:07.240 but now I'm studying
00:31:08.160 interior design at Parsons.
00:31:09.960 I actually coded
00:31:10.680 one of your YouTube videos
00:31:11.700 for my college essay.
00:31:13.640 I'm like a really big fan,
00:31:14.760 you guys.
00:31:15.060 You don't know.
00:31:16.000 What was the quote?
00:31:16.720 It was about
00:31:18.120 how we're monkeys.
00:31:19.820 I think it was
00:31:20.320 in one of your YouTube videos
00:31:21.480 of society
00:31:23.140 and you just made me see
00:31:24.200 I feel like
00:31:25.540 You can't remember the quote?
00:31:26.640 No, no, no.
00:31:27.100 I can't remember the quote.
00:31:28.420 I'm in my third year.
00:31:29.360 You can't blame me.
00:31:30.200 Yeah, that's fine.
00:31:31.400 But yeah, I just wanted
00:31:32.360 I just came here to tell you
00:31:33.640 that I
00:31:34.080 you really
00:31:34.780 like this
00:31:35.180 you're one of the reasons
00:31:35.920 that I moved to this city
00:31:37.300 from India.
00:31:38.840 From where?
00:31:39.180 From India?
00:31:39.620 Yes.
00:31:40.320 Oh, you came all the way
00:31:40.960 from India?
00:31:41.440 Yeah.
00:31:42.020 Oh, you know the CEO
00:31:42.720 of YouTube is Indian too,
00:31:44.180 Neil Mahan.
00:31:44.780 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:31:45.740 Okay.
00:31:46.000 Well, I love India.
00:31:47.680 Let me email him real quick.
