Thank you. You know, uh, And I see it like most people they don't even understand even some of the like to me, like, the best comics are the ones who are abstract, the ones who think outside of the box, not just the regular jokes that people like myself, Brad, not that. Y'all got that.

Y'all got that now, y'all got that, y'all got that sixth sense type thing going on. Yeah. Yeah, there's a lot of brothers that can be abstract, but they don't want to. Sometimes you can get lazy in comedy. You can just be like, I'll just do you know what I'm gonna do them do fucking in I'm gonna do you know you know what?

Chicago is all about high school. Damn they go. Where'd you go. Corey went to Send High School. I went to Lane

Tech High School. Nane Tech is the biggest high school in Chicago, and it always competed against Michelle Obama's high school, which was Whitney Young when Young was that civil rights leader that was with Dr King and them. But yeah, it was a really prominent It's a veriant, prominent black school in Chicago, number one in athletics and um academics. And they compete with my school, which is uh college

prep school technical school. Yeah, I graduated well. I transferred from a Catholic racist a Catholic high school that my father forced me to go to because my father was like, you will not go to public school. You have to go to Catholic school. It's cool. Hell. He was a cool last African man. When my father passed away man you know, he was an educator in Chicago for forty five years Malcolm X College. My dad and he could. He created a school to help adult learning with some

other teachers. It was called c c A Academy, and he on the West Side, you know about the West Side Chicago. My father worked there for forty five years. George's music you know Gang, I mean Gang bangers respecting my dad. Man, they knew my my my father passed away. Man, I'm telling you and my my mother's gone to My mother's a nurse for thirty something long time in Chicago. She trained some of my friends that are nurses. She

delivered people's babies, you know what I mean. And my mother will be like, guess who had they know that baby? Said your friends, she's only sixteen. Yeah, my mom, Yo, My parents were blue collar Chicago Nigerian motherfucker. Y'all it up? You know, King Joffrey Joffer, my son works. You will go to the world of Storia and you will shower and take all of this tout off your body. Can make sure he gets a shower and achieve you've got

one word two words at once at once? Man, do you believe that Nigerians are more judgmental than the average black person judge? What I mean is this, like Nigerians would like pick sit apart, Like they see something and they say exactly what it is with no filter none, But they don't but they'll say it with no filter but with no profanity. They'll go, why would you how could you be doing this? That's is foolish you have to use your comman sense. They don't go like this.

The fund is that you know, like you know Americans, you know what the funk kind of ship would be like, could you do this? Why would you quit and be selling drugs? Good? Why? Yeah? I remember when I had a cousin that was a drug dealer in d C. Right, one of my favorite cousins. I ain't saying his name, and and my father and he was smart as ship. You know, most lot Nigeria academics is serious. But he

was drug dealer. He had two He had a bad He had two Mercedes Benzins because because Mercedes Benzins was a big deal. And my father said, how could you leave school to sell drugs? I see you might say, these bends you have two of them? Why you could you could hunt? Y'all? Yeah, they would break They break that ship down and they get you know, but you know it's just we we because we judge because we're trying to be great, you know. So you you're trying

to always strive for academic excellence. You're trying to strive for a better life. You want to be able to have a better life here and then go back to Nigeria and rock over there too. That's why Nigerians go back and forth, back and forth a lot immigrants in general, well say, you know, I want to have a home in Nigeria and also have a home he you know, it's just striving for excellence, that's what it is. We're

a little arrogant. It's real ship. I got a buddy that that John Beato, really really got me into the game, got my foot in the door. No, no, Beto is his real name. Yeah, so that's one of my best friends in the world. And he's back in Nigeria right now. So all of the that that that Nigerian culture, like, I learned that ship from him. You looking like a dignitary yourself. You look like one of the African dignitarists. We have to find a political situation because we are

losing money in Africa. You got the glasses from Nigeria though not not? What's that? Oh are you kidding? Did you get your tests? Wait a minute, time, man, bro? What so? I'm especially was a ranking all he needed a suit and they take a picture of like that. The African society has to change. If we can't found it, what are we going to do to this country. The Europeans are trying to call a nice Africa. I will not stop from it. Man, where did you get You

grew up in Lincoln, Nebraska. My parents jed north north side of Chicago in the most immigrant heavy area in Chicago, because you know, Chicago's the most segregated city in the country still along with Milwaukee, and they're not that far apart. Yeah, the most segregated. They hit Dr King with a brick

in Chicago. They threw a brick at his ass because he was doing something for the the sanitation workers and they hit him with a brick and Dr King said, that's the worst ship I've ever been through coming from Alabama. Chicago still segregated because but where I lived in Chicago was called Uptown. That's you know, Corey was west Side, but he came to Uptown because we would go to

the Boys Club of America. Ship like that, but it was the most immigrants because we It's like, I think it has a Guinness Book of World Record for immigrants over there. Because all my friends were like from my next door neighbors were Cambodian, I had Vietnamese. They all just got off the boat Vietnamese, Uh, Filipino, Nigerian, African, American, American, Jewish, White, European Jewish. My I had baby, I had Russian babysitters,

had Haitian babysitters, Haitian, Uh, Ethiopian. Uh. Yugoslavia when it was Yugoslavia. Uh, what you say, I think it's just it's the Czech Republic. I think I haven't heard Yugoslavian. Yeah, it was back in the day. It was had Yugoslavian friends. Yeah, so we had all my friends. It was in Korean, Chinese, Ease, Uh, some Japanese, Uh, India, India. We had everybody. It was. It was called uptown and it's still like that. It's still like that. And you had like blue collar and

you know, he had poor blue collar. So I was always around, you know. And even in grade school, man, I learned how to do sign language because my teacher was one of these She was this white woman, you know that, you know, we she protested nuclear award ship we had to me and my brothers, sister. We learned how to sign language and seventh and eighth grade talking to death be oh yeah yeah, man, let's go, let's go back to Nebraska. What the how were you when

you left one? I think I was barely one years Okay, Chicago, I don't know. They have no experience about the animal encounters and the train lily ponds that they're known for. They're known for corn Huskers, right, and Malcolm X was born in Omaha, Nebraska. Yeah, Gabrielle Unions from Nebraska. The Unions are big family in Nebraska where he was, right. And then you got Warren Buffett from Nebraska. He runs Nebraska pretty much. Johnny Carson grew up well, have spent

a lot of his time in Nebraska. And then I finally went to Nebraska about three years ago because my father went to a college called Dana College in Nebraska. And you know, my father had been talking about it, Dana. I went to Dana College. Dana College. I said, what the hell's at Dana College. It was a teacher's college because my father studied education there. And I was like, I finally did the I think the funny Bone in Omaha finally got invited to Nebraska. I've never been there.

It's like eighteen and I was like, and I asked the dude, man, I want to find my father's college where he went. And this white dudes like a little white. He's like, yo, man, I'll take you to the place. I know where it is. I said, okay. So he took me. Was outside of Lincoln. It was like a good hour drive and there's nothing there, nothing just corny. It's nothing. And I'm picturing my dad in the late sixties going, yeah, I'm like this, my father went through

this ship. I was like, what the fuck my pops going through this ship with my mom's like and to go to school. This is bumble fuck Like, I'm like, and we're not talking. Remember I'm twenty eighteen going there. Imagine out on nineteen sixty nine going to fucking and my friend. Then I saw it. I went on the campus and it's it's it's done. It's defunct, you know. Then they changed it to Midwestern University. But now if they don't use the campus, but the buildings are still there.

I said, this is where my fucking father went. God damn ninth Can you imagine Nebraska? The mother's black, You goddamn niggers, get the hell out of here, fucking there and he's probably excuse me, So it's Nigeria and you're pronouncing it incorrectly, probably, you know, my pops went through it and then they went to Chicago. We moved after that, moved to Chicago because I don't remember No Nebraska. I don't remember Chicago. And where did you pick up comedy? College?

You ever been to sit come word is somebody warming up the show? You ever come to one of them shows? It like, Hey, how y'all go, I'm gonna show you the like that I had to do all that ship?

I'm not gonna talk about man. I love I love street man. Come on,

we all grew up on Sesame Street. D. Listen, Kermie the Kermi d. Did you ever figure out how to get the Seseme Street? Um? When we all said, can you tell me how to get I'm not gonna lie. This is how I discovered Sesame Street was next door. So I'm going in the elevator going to work because I could walk down. I used to live in Long Island City, Queens, and I would walk to the studio. And you've seen no, no, no, not that. I saw Gordon the ball here black dude. You know, uh Willie

Dynamite Roscoe Orman. I saw him in the elevator. I'm like this the fun he was just like go now, even ahead. Just he's like, hey, you doing. I'm like, that's I was like, what the fund is going on here? I didn't know. So then I'm out doing my warm I start the show, you know, because I'm telling I bring out Dr Cosby and police was shot. And that's

what I do, audience coordinating. So then I'm warming up the show and it's two hundred some people and the black lady from Sesame Streets in the corner waving at me like you're so funny. I go, yo, they're going to lady from Sessamey Sure, I said, yo, yo, what what? Why am I seeing people from Sesame Streak? They go, you know where right next door? You should come after? I go, oh my god, yeah, And so I went to Sesame Street and I almost cried like a motherfucker,

I ain't go front. Yes I did, because you grew up on it. And I was like, I meant to dude, the Elmo guy before the before the accusations, I met the count you know that Kevin Kevin sexual sault, No not him, almost his guy. Yeah, he was accused. He was accused of like sexual assault. But I think he's good to go. Because he was direct. He was the director of Sesame Street. You don't see his he didn see his documentary. I saw his documentary. It's called Being Elmo.

It's really good. Um so um I met him. I met the Count. I met and I the count bro. He was dope. I met the Count and then I saw snuffle up because the elephant. But he was they haven't like raised up in the thing. I go, there's go snuffle up because Yo, that ship sucked me up, dud, I ain't gonna lie. I was like, oh boy, I was like this. I was like this this, I love this ship. And the music was going in my head sad.

We all know it, even too art dudes like, yes, remember the guy that was sending the Christmas trees to used Christmas trees And somebody came up and saying like, you're trying to send me used Christmas tree And he said not used previously on? Who was that that? He was the own on on the previously not Mr Whooper? There's Mr Whooper. He passed away. Um, it's a puppet. Wasn't run of the Puppets, man, It's been so long,

it's just a fake memory. I just remember that. I remember the conversation sandwiches God Smiley, Remember remember check this out. I just saw there's a documentary you all must see. It's called The Gang of Sesame Street on how it was created. It's so damn good. What is it on? It's it's I think it might be Hulu or Netflix or one of those. You know, they're all the same ship. Yo, good one. I got a good one for y'all while you're on the subject ship that we need to be watching.

Um stay sweet, praying, obey, who's that the poligamus guy? Oh, I want to see I love you to see good to get jail for life? But uh he was when his dad died, he married all his dad's wives, right, and then he started marrying the underage key But no, it's it's it's cult is always the weird ship. The reason I'm bringing this ship up is because the way they used the Bible to manipulate the motherfucker's unbelieving. That's how we got the slavery. That's the same way that

they used the Constitution to manipulate. Yeah, they always used God, the Constitution don't apply to us. So anybody that's relying on the Constitution to get you anything or any type of relief. He probably, but the Bible, the bib it either see it's all of his man. But more people gonna read the Bible. Excuse me, more people don't know about the Bible, then they're gonna know about the Constitution, you know, right that pull out Corinthians and that's true,

and won't know what the fun is going on? That old ass talk true and won't live it either, No at all. Um, I was gonna say this Sesame Street ship is gonna blow your mind. You know why because there was a white lady and she was the one that said, you know, we need to find a show that's gonna reach black children. There's there. They're ignored too much. We got and all these these TV shows Howdy do to? His ship's too white and it's too corny and it's

whack and kids are just watching commercials. We gotta find something that kids are gonna learn with music. Dad. So she with her goal was to make sure black children are educated. Her goal was responsible for the PS Public Broadcasting System. Uh no, she wasn't. She was just responsible for the Sesame Street thing. No, not the electric company, just that one. And she goes what are we gonna do.

We gotta reach black children, especially intercity kids. So she she got psychologists and teachers and and and then she hired He got Jim Henson, was this little Hippi hippie puppeteer dude. She got all these cats. Yeah, she got black psychology, she got everybody. We gotta find a way to reach black children. So they had like samples samples of the show before they put it on. They showed the puppets, and they showed the people, and they would separate them and the kids would watch and they would

have a thing distracting the child. So when they saw the puppets, the thing that was distracting children wouldn't affect the kids. They love the puppets. When they show the people the distraction with the kids would pay attention. So they were like, we don't like the people, we like the puppets. So they said, let's put them both together. I'm telling this is fantastic. Then they said, well, what are we how are we gonna what do we want

Sesame Street to look like? And they were watching one of the one of the producers, this other white dude, who was producing like white shows. He wanted to get out of that ship. She calls him up. He goes, yeah, I want to do something different, something meaningful, And so he goes, well, he's watching a commercial and it's in Harlem in New York and his dude talking in Harlem. He goes, that's how that's how the show should look. It should look like the streets of Harlem. Like it

should look like a stoop. We need to we need a stoop. We wanted to be like Hard. It was all based on black kids. Sesame Street. You would't even know the documentaries fired and you know Holly Robinson. It's called the Gang of the Gang from Sesame Street and you know how hard you know, Holly Robinson. Holly Robinson Pete,

her daddy was the first Gordon. Remember Roosevelt Franklin Rosel Franko was a little puppet and it got canceled because it was too stereotypical and black people said, funk that, we don't want that. You got to see the doc Roosevelt Franklin was a puppet character that Holly Robinson's dad created because he goes, where we need a black character, we don't have any, and so they had it and it was too like stereotypical and and like double a C. They were like, no, no, that we had that ship.

But Holly Robinson, Pete's dad was the main. Ain't with Gordon. Funny thing about the Roosevelt Franklin. I had an uncle. My grandmother had a brother named Roosevelt Franklin, Roosevelt dellenor Franklin. But wait a minute, whoa crazy shit? Um? I found out at my grandmother's funeral. My aunt told the story that um, that they were getting ready to lose their house. She literally rostration and fifth and they were getting ready

to lose their house. And the mama wrote the president, and the President said the houses in the all kinds of ship, right, And her mother was so proud of that, And because she named her son Roosevelt jellenor Franklin damn everything, Franklin Delano, Roosevelt Roosevelt delanof Wow, Yeah, who came up with that? I'm just that's that's all. That's all. That was Schoolhouse Rock. I'm just the bill. Yeah, I'm only Bill hand on little hitting Hill on Capitol Hill. Well

now I'm off Turtle White House and I ain't feeling right. Yeah, that's his name is um Bob d row I think it's Bob, it's a it's a couple of cats that were the main singers, because you know they had history, science, mathematics. Remember three is a magic number, Yes it is. Every triangle has three corners, every triangle has three sides, no more, no less. You don't have to guess when it's three. You can see. No, it was a guy, Bob d Rowe. A man and a woman had a little baby. Yes

they did. They had three in a family. Three six, nine, twelve, twelve, fifteen, eighteen thirty. Yo, remember that. I remember. I remember a lot of this stuff vaguely, but man, you got it down, pat Man. Yeah, I went back. Yeah, I still watched him over. I watched him again. I watched the Schoolhouse Rock. I'll go in YouTube and I do. I always bring up this ship. I watched old Ship all the time because with comedy, man, it's like no dipping in hip hop. You guys gotta be up on your ship with your

similes and your references and ship like that. Do you ever forget your stuff stage? Oh yeah, sometimes you'll be like you get a brain fart and ship like you're like, yeah, man, when you see someone crazy shit out there. But that's why you're like, damn, I got would I would forget like immediately, like I would be out there stage like yeah, yeah, yeah, we're on the stage. Will d yeah yeah yeah. I come out and should be doping the first two Oh,

ye're doing a little dance. Will come out with music, dance come out though, that should be fine, And I have to be like like, yeah, man, so I got the first joke down. I knocked the first joke. It's easy after that. Listening man. Obviously, obviously you're one of the best guys when they come to doing impressions. That's that's a gimme. How often do you get upset when people say do this impression when you're trying to do jokes?

You know what? What's really good too. What I love about the audience that they don't really do that that much. Sometimes they go, hey, man, gotta get there st and then I get it, But they don't do it too often. Because I got joke jokes. I'm known for having material. I made sure my old manager, David Rescues, Dave Klingman, he team made sure. He said, whatever you do, you know you can do your voices you can transition into accents.

Make sure you get strong material first and then bring it in because you don't want to be depending on that ship. A lot of times when comics have depend on they depend on the in person nations there, their acts are really weak unless they're doing a voice, and I don't. I don't have to do voices. I don't. There's times I don't do any voices. I'll do like some access that you know, if I'm talking about Africans or I'm doing Indian people. Everybody, I told you, what

do you doing of it? I do that? You know, Chinese? Chinese very difficult? Why you trying to speak Chinese a lot? Don't told you? You know I could do that. You got Vietnamese here? You know you have a lot of Vietnamese here. I grew up with them. You're like me, dang dang mean Vietnam. You know you asked me to me very good, you know, praying like you're drinking a lot of water and you're Vietnamese. But and you know, and you know me dang me dang means black person

in in Vietnamese. It means like a derogatory word, me dang me dang. You me, dang that that's yeah, that's give me a derogatory Chinese. Oh, it's it's it's fun. I forgot what the word because they go, there's a guy that's teaching those people, those black children in Africa bad words. You know you've seen that, right, what happened the video of a Chinese man teaching black children Chinese?

Because you know Chinese are in Nigeria and Africa, so they're teaching these black children to say they're black monsters and niggas and but they don't know you haven't seen it. Yeah, so and the kids are like some chip and it means black monster. We were poor where this and they don't even know what they're teaching that ship not all Chinese people. What change people? What are the bad Chinese people doing in Africa? What did the bad they they

take trying to take all the resources. Uh, they gave Nigeria about sixty I don't know, a couple of a bunch of hundred millions of dollars to read um to fix the infrastructure. So they're trying to take over Nigeria, colonized Nigeria. But hopefully black a lot of black leaders won't do that. Let them have let it happen. But they're trying to do some fun over there. I don't know. I don't know every Chinese person, but I know they're doing some fun over there. You know what I mean.

There's gonna be some Nigerian Chinese people they're coming. You know. That's that's really sad man. It's like, yeah, goddamn, can we have some can we maintain something? Can we hold up some type of integrity? Can somebody have some balls? Can you put can somebody put people over profits? We And it's sad because you got your old people doing

that ship sometimes too. And Africa. The reason why, like you see, like the Chinese or the Asians get their little they get their law passed, you know, anti Asian law passed. You know Dr Claude um Anderson, he said it perfectly. Go let me tell you why you don't see no Chinese man, Chinese man kill shot by police because they got an economic front. They put their money together, they got an front. You know why Niggas are getting killed all the time because we don't got no money together.

We don't put our money together. We vote for this, vote for that. We should be independent. Oh you know what when you know how strong we'd be if we all came independently voted, we would have these politicians in our pocket. We all put our money together. The reason why they treat us like ship is we don't have an economic front. We're not buying the police, we're not buying the politicians. That's why they look at us and

don't give a funk about us. That's why we're always getting shot because if we don't get it, why don't we get it? Because we spend our money and everybody else's ship. Because what they say that they Arabs Asians. We go to their stores after even being treated like ship, we still go back to their ship, still buy their ship. Women got to get their hair weaves after being called fucking nigger left and right, and they'll go back to

that same motherfucker. And then all they get is we're sorry because they're losing business if we and you know, we're trying no to open our own hair care. I mean, we got other people from other races selling us our own hair care ship. The fund is going on here. And and the problem is is if we add our own economic front, it's all about money, you know what I mean? Why did the Asians get the anti Asian hate thing because they're China. They're connecting America China, China.

Don't play that ship. They're like, you better handle that ship. Asian countries, they're they love their Asian people, Asian people. Asia likes they're Asian people here. I would you know, I don't know if they like them all, but they have a connection. Africa and African Americans ain't connected. They're not connected. Like there's a lot of division, and that's what's fucked imagining that Africa backed up African Americans and they were like, Nah, you need to sign an anti

hate and the anti lynching bill. They got an anti lynching bill still on the fucking table. They gotta think about hanging niggas. They still gotta think about hanging us. Like what do we do, John, I don't. I don't know. It's gonna be a it's a toughie, you know, I don't. I don't see what the problem it's. It's hatred of black people. They everyone hates. That's the problem. We just we're because of you know how, because of our history, how we were brought here and change. We're the only

group of people here who did not come voluntarily. So uh, we're the only group of people here that um, we're the only group of people here that our own. Uh. We don't have a government like like everybody else. That's why I like, if you know, you don't see police gunning down Australians and when they did, they paid up real quick, gave gave a copper life sentence. You don't see them gunning down Asian people because they know it's gonna be some ship with China. They know it's gonna

be some ship. They don't careful, you don't, you don't, you don't see them. You don't see them gunning gunning down Arabs and ship like because they know it's gonna be some ship you see, because they got a country that it's going to create an international crisis. So when they kill us, it's no international crisis. Which like you say, uh, we're we're we're we're descendants of Africa. But in America, if you're born, wherever you're born, that's what you are.

That's wherever you're born. You know, that's your nationality. I got you what I'm saying, wherever you're born, that's your nationality. Right, we we are Americans and but the thing is that we're not treated like Americans when we're not treat like in fact, other people that come here that we paved the way for treated more like Americans. And that is because of systematic oppression. That is because of the people

that's in that are empower Your politicians. You're you're the people who write the laws, the people enforced the laws. Those motherfucker's all these senators been sitting around, ain't been doing ship. Your your state reps who ain't been doing ship, you know, your your your your congressman and women who ain't been doing ship but getting paid and going alone

to get along. Yeah, And it's them. And it's easy to divide us because we'll sell each other out in a fucking heart because there are black people that do not want to see the progress of other black people. Black panthers are a perfect example. There were, you know, the informants that that killed Fred Hampton. You know in Chicago. Fred Hampton died at years old in bed with his wife like sleeping when they killed him in his sleep. But they had a black dude go in and fun

things up. That's how the gang ship started in Chicago. A lot of the gang ship was like a lot of the gangs were trying to help out, have breakfast programs, are trying to help the youth. And then the FBI was like na, na na, what's his name? Jaredo Whu was like, nah, funk all that. We gotta find get some of these brothers to come in and start our arguments with these motherfucker's. They'll get us. We'll do anything

that's ruined, eat ruin each other. Look at how divided Caribbeans Africans after there, everybody fighting thinking they better than each other. We looked the same right back. The reason why it's so difficult though, it's not it's not like it's not like you don't have just millions of black people out there that's not trying. The problem is is like even when you do get it together and you're on the right track, they come in with their nasty,

evil asses and they derail it. And they can do that and get away with it again because the government creates the laws, the government enforces the laws, and so we're the only group of people in this country that uh targeted by own government for failure. Like like no government. You can't name a group of people in the entire civilization, who has ever been able to reach their full potential when they've been targeted by their own government. These motherfucker's

run it. They got and so they can always even when they come to education, y'all want to teach that. Okay, well we're gonna defund you. We're gonna get you the money, so now you got to teach this bullshit. But they want you to teach you because they're not gonna fund it. So we're we're we're we're fighting, we're fighting so so many battles. But but and it does, so it so we can do as much as we can. We can do but it but it doesn't matter at the end

of the day. Why it matters. But again, we're still not gonna get there all the way because our government, the government, because they pay taxes, We play taxes to these these motherfucker's got take tanks to keep us down, and they come up with something, and they come up with something every ten to fifteen years to to to deliver another death blow. Always like we're gonna look look at Slavery. We got Jim Crow, Jim you got red lining, reconstruction,

got reconstruction, we got vacation food. We got the crack epidemic. We got some fun the groceries, so so kids black kids don't eat. They always got some new snaps and then they'll send the police to kill, you know, the police brutality. Also also JAREDO. Hoover said, the biggest threat to this country is Negro improvement empowerment. The biggest threat is Negro empowerment. We that's the biggest threat to our

country is black people getting shipped. It's a threat because a threat because they think that if we get into a certain position, we're gonna do the same thing that they did to us. But that's not in our nature. Because we're people of the earth. We're we are a hundred percent human. We're a hundred percent human. They just they I think it might be and I'm not trying to say this, but this scientists said their part Neanderthals, there's ninety seven or three percent in the hand of throw.

We're a hundred percent. We're looking out forgiving. We are black folks. We forgive a lot. We do. People do ship to us. But it can be like, oh, these white people did something to us. But these white people are cool, man, They're cool. We judge people by character.

We always judge people by content of character. But the fund the problem is will forgive, you know, white people for doing so much fun ship to us, But we'll be ready to smoke another black man or black woman for stepping on our shoe or fucking some dumb ship. We'll have so much anger because they beat it into us to hate each other. Yeah. They they did that ship to us, the Willie Lynch ship and all that.

They made us hate each other, like when we get mad at each other, we're so fucking mad, Like, Yo, I'm gonna kill this motherfucker, no funk that. But a white dude would be like, Yo, I didn't like what he said. But yo, we have to forgive and be able to move on. But that nigga right now, I'm gonna kill it. An. Do you know it's like we it's like they really did a good job on us

as far as fucking us mentally, they fucked us. Yo. They have turned us, like Minister Aferican said, turning a race inside out, you know, with no knowledge of self, no knowledge of who they are, no connection to God. And here you come with your white Jesus and you bring all this European ideology to black people, and then you send them out with no education, no knowledge of self. What do you want us to do? You know how? It's knowledge and it sounds corny, knowledge of self the

way knowledge of self man. Because I saw the minister's last speech in February. It was me to change rock him. Um Corey Colcham is there. We was all there and I got Riza Islam he and I was in Dayton, Ohio. I drove over there. My plane was late, but I rent in a car. So it's I think it's a swansung. You know. Ministers eighty nine years old. And I used to see him in college. I us see him when I was eighteen. I used to go live to Savior's Day. I've been to about four or five of them. No,

I didn't go to that one. I couldn't do it. I had something, did you go? Yeah? You see what I'm saying. So I we've been to like events live, I've seen them, you know. And and knowledge of self. Man, I'm telling you it has to be. But we have to take it upon ourselves, not waiting on them too, because they're they don't want this. First of all, critical race theory is a fucking bullshit ass branding. It's just

American history, it's just American history. To American history, it's like, oh, we don't want to because most of African American history is white oppression. It's black people trying to fight white oppression, and they don't want that in there because they don't want to feel guilty. But the problem is you still you're still behaving the same way, but they're still behaving the same way, still call us niggas, it will still

treating us like niggas. Now, if they stop that behavior, then we don't have to teach that because you've learned your lesson, but they still treat us like shit. So we need to know what the fucking reason is. And African and American history truthfully told would be like, oh, that's why they're like that, because how do we not teach black history? And you keep calling my son and daughters niggas? Where is this coming from? Funk that your

behavior isn't changing. So we need to know what the symptom is is so we can come to a solution. And I'm telling we have to self educate ourselves. There are plenty of books. We just gotta get diligent to go. Let me read about the ship on my own. I'm not gonna wait for these motherfucker's to give it to me, because I learned most of my ship outside of the curriculum. I just picked up books. Black bookstores are opening up

left and right. You can order Ship. You can get um how to Um, how to Eat, The Message to the Black Man, how to Eat to Livelijah Mohammed, Auto Biophy, and Malcomnec. You can get Stolen Legacy. You can get Black Athena. You can get um Um the Iss Papers by Francis Chris Welson. You can get Destruction of Black Civilization by Chancellor Williams. You can get behold of Pale Horse. You can get What the Funk. You can get all

of James Baldwin's readings Blues for Mr Charlie. If Beal Street can talk, you can get all of the Fire next Time. You can get um Alice Walker. You can read um Sula by Tony Morrison. You can read The bluest I by to Tony Morrison. You can read Nikki Giovarni Sonya Sanchez. You can read Sucking the writings of Dr Martin Luke and you read the speeches of funk are you talking about there? Right there? You got video games that you can get. You'll get the latest video

Go get a book too. With that. I'm not saying you can't play video game, but go get that ship self. Knowledge. Fuck waiting on them. Waiting on them means critical race theory means nothing. It's not a fucking theory. It's a fact. Critical race theory. A theory is something that you guys, It's sort of like, uh, an assumption, I think, almost like a guess a theory like you go, like the

theory of relativity. Einstein's like, you know what, I believe that light, you know, the light moves at this speed six thousand miles per second squared. I believe that, And and other people battle that like, well, I don't know if your theory is right. It's like it's almost like an assumption you make that can be argued. It can be argued unless until proven. The theory black race theory, it's a crime in Florida to make white people feel uncomfortable,

uncomfortable about what they did to black people. Go ahead, but you know what the biggest problem is that Okay, first and foremost, the history of slavery needs to be taught. The history of Jim Crow needs to be to All black history need to be taught like all other history is taught in America. American history is what it is. But if you don't like it, if you don't like it that much, if it pains you that much, why are you still doing the ship that you did in

the past. And the problem the thing is that we wouldn't even be talking about this as much, we wouldn't be as passionate about it if they still was not behaving. It's like the ain't no change behavior, behavior, it's the same. It's just like people say. I hate when people go, man, how could this be happening? Man? It's two? Man, what what are we doing? First of all, enough with that dumb ship. All you gotta do if you want to know where we're at as far as society subtract by

a hundred, it's nineteen twenty two. That'll keep you in fucking focus. It's nineteen two. White folks are still acting like it's nineteen twenty two, okay, because you know this, it's two. The needle isn't moving. And even with like when you know people get mad when you bring up in a racial dating and all this other ship. We've been sucking each other for a long time, and the

racism needle hasn't moved. We've been fucking the ship out of each other, banging, banging, ah, sweating, fucking, fucking, and they're still racist. So fucking some body out of a different race does not change the racism quotient. My friends, a lot of people think that, Well, you know, people will come up like, well, I understand because my wife's Asian. Shut the funk up. You have a fetish, dude. A lot of times people got fetishes. Nobody wants to talk

about a fetish. A lot of times it's just a fetish. It's just you have a fetish. Then there's people who actually, I say, there's a small percentage people who actually love somebody because you just love them, not because I'm mad at black men, saw I'm a data white man, or I'm mad at black women. I'm a data white girl. I think it's fucked up. You should date love somebody because you love them, not because you hate your whole race or you and and fetishy ship. A lot of

times people approached it in a fetishy way. Nobody wants to admit it, but they do, and they think that they're solving the race problem because I went to school with motherfucker's who had black girlfriends, calling us niggers maybe like you fucking nigga, and they're like, no, I'm not talking about but your girlfriend's black. That's that's different. I was around that ship man. Motherfucker's would be fucking chasing

you out of their neighborhoods. Wearing Michael Jordan's jersey. Italians be like, Hey, you fucking niggas, but you got Jordan's on. You ain't wearing de Neros in rocket out compee. Yes it's fucking niggas, but you're And I knew girls from other races, you know, you'd be like out, you know, hanging party in and they'd be like, yeah, I don't understand it. My my brother, he's always talking about niggat nigga, but he's always listening to like, you know, he listened

to Public Enemy. He looks Jimmy Hendrien and they would tell you this ship. That's what I'm saying. What it has to be is a change in you. That's why I was a big George Carlin fan George Colin, legendary comedian. You know, Irish dude, grew up in Halem. He has a great documentary on HBO. But what I liked about him he spoke to power. He's a white man that spoke to power and his wife was white. I like that. I I cup of times. I trust that because when a guy is like my wife's act, let me be

a fucking civil rights guy. I go, it's like compromising. It's like you're making up for your I don't like. I don't always trust that, not saying that they're not trying. But are you doing that because your wife's black? Or would you do it if you're white, was white? Would you still fight? You understand that. That's that's why I love Carlin so much because he spoke to power. He spoke about the mistreatment of blacks and Latino. He went in and his wife was a white lady, And I go,

that's true blue. Jane Elliott, you know Jane Elliott, tim wise, tim wise, they have white spouses, but they're speaking to power, like if oh my white, my husband's black. But yeah, you've called you've called black women black bitches though, and your husbands black because sometimes you could be with somebody of another race because you're trying to get back at somebody.

There are situations like that. I'm not saying everybody does that, but a lot of times people in interracial relationships get mad at this conversation because I'm hitting the fucking nerve. Is that what happened with Patrick Patterson, the NBA player that you came from, the one who talked to me, who called black women bulled off? He was married to a white woman. That's fun. Yeah, that's a that's another example of hating yourself. Your mama is black man. I

don't know his business, but your mama. You came for your mom's. When you say black women ain't ship, you are insulting your grandmother. See when we say when we insult black women, we're thinking women on Instagram with the ass out, the ones we wanted to funk and all this other bullshit. No, you're insulting black women, old black women, aunties and grandmothers and little girls. You're insulting all of them, not just the ones you like and trying to talk to.

Not that I'm talking about on a level of just there's a black old lady that's been that. That's the reason why you're here is because of her presence. You're insulting all of that ship. He actually said that he came back and clean it up. He was just talking about the one guy who attacked him because he had a white wife, And he wasn't talking about all black women. He was just calming that guy's wife, don't be careful

when you're talking. That's you're saying about her, but be very clear when you're saying that, you gotta be clear. Go And he probably got caught because black let's be honest, But there are guys like him though that Like, man, black girls fuck that. They they look like I said, that's not true. Black women are the finest motherfucker's on the planet. They aged the best, best bodies, the whole nine, you know. I mean, I'm not saying that there are

no beautiful women in other races. Of course there's beauty and every race. But we really gotta get in the start getting the habit of like complimenting each other in public. Man, Like, black women get it the worst though. That's real ship though. They always getting nappy headed this and everybody praises all the other women, all the time. They're always getting the praise if and the Asian girl ain't getting the praise. Black black women save the fucking save every group on

the planet. They save every as on the plane, every every group, nurturing other people's children. There, they're they're they're they're the cradle of civilization, the black women. So so it's like, you know, to attack a black woman, to drag, to disparage a black woman is to disparage yourself, because ain't it ain't a motherfucker on this planet who haven't benefited from the existence of black women, period. Pre don't fun what somebody told you. I'm telling you. I'm telling

what God love and he loved the truth. Foul you, Micha, because that be pushing that. I have a lot of black and there's some black women that got mad at me because I made a video about I don't know if you saw that one. I was in Brooklyn and it was a advertisement of a black woman and a white man in a in an ad and I said, why they got this ad in this black ass neighborhood?

What is subliminally breaking down the black family? And I guess some women that were dating white man came at me, getting all angry, and I'm saying, every black woman, there's a lot of black women that come at me and come at me and say fucked up, ship to me, get online, been fucking trolling me for since since last since pandemic. But it's all good. But I know there's a lot of black women that backed me up though, that backed me to funk up. But there's something that

come at me. So why the funk would you say that? I go, why are you getting mad at what I said? I'm talking about subliminal messaging and advertisement and you're talking about your little personal relationship. You mean he was Subliminal messages mean something because just like they mean something when you see the black doll and the white dog, you know it means something that you always seeing the white

dogs and all of the magazines white dogs. All you see is white dogs everywhere you look, white dogs, white dogs, white dogs. If you see a little good even on television advertising white dogs, white dogs, white dogs, what do you think the little black kid is gonna want, gonna want white dog? Because that's all they see. It's like in their brain and it's all psychology tricks. It's all psychological tricks that they got. Images are important, not always

reading words. Images. When you see an image, it sticks in your head. It's sticks, it stays embedded in your ship. That's why they know what they're doing. Advertising. They put the big posters up in certain neighborhoods, like in black neighbors that have smoking and drinking and all kinds of ship. Just like in your head, those images you know they'll but you go to a gentrified neighborhood, it's healthy posters and posters of this that you know, progress and ship

like that. They know what the funk they're doing. What is it? What is it? Picture is worth more than a thousand words express in It's facts. It's fact. Do you ever being that you are a comedian, you're a funny guy, but obviously you have a serious side to you. Do you ever get conflicted about speaking about real ship because people sometimes do get uncomfortable about that. Yeah. So, I mean it's so funny because I love I love going hard to paint. Man. I like I like challenges.

I like when they kind of get I can I kinda get off of them being uncomfortable. I go, ah, yeah, I'm going there. I don't like taking the easy route. But sometimes I I do think about like, because my audiences are pretty like diversively diversified. There's white, Black, Latin Asian. I go, well, now, how can I do this to make it palatable for everybody? Because that's important because I if I'm just gonna say direct ship with no funny, that's not fair to them, because if they're paying money

to come see me, I gotta make it. They know my style, but I can't make it where I'm pounding them as if I hate I hate you in particular, it's not fair to them. How can I make this clan joke go and make everybody laugh at the same time. Because you're an artist. Now, if I'm gonna be a preacher, that's different. But if I'm a comedian, you gotta be a comic. You have to tell jokes and be funny. You don't have to preach them. They know there's racing and they know a lot of that. We ain't ship.

We get it. But I'm here because you're a funny guy. I don't mind you saying that. I'll be uncomfortable, but that mother to come with a punchline, and that's fair and let that be a lesson to all the new comedians out that a young up and coming comedians. Yes, be funny first. I don't care what you do. Thank you, though I watched. I've watched so many of these guys come up. I know some of these guys who are legends right now. I remember when they were teenagers. And

I can tell you I understand comment. I may not. I don't know how to tell the jokes ship, but I know a funny joke when here you're not a funny guy? Funny, Hi, funny he hit amuse me funny? How I love how? It just deferently regular voice, Willy, don't even try to take nobody. Hold on, hold on, hold on, Willie? What do I make you laugh? Clown him here to amuse you and make you laugh? What makes me so fucking funny? No, he's a big boy. Tell me he's the way I talk? What the fuck

makes me so funny? I got you your motherfucker you're almost fucking's crushed, you almost crumbled under questioning STA tuned for part two, Get the Boys We're Gonna Be Podcast. This episode was produced by a King and brought to you by The Black Effect Podcast Network and I Heart radio
