SAY SOMETHIN ELSE!

about Andre Chromo and the baby who politics, y'all. It's so hood right now, politics, y'all, so hood. Listen. Nonverbal communication is one of the survival skills you learned in the area that I grew up in, and you learned different code words of when it's probably either time to throw hands because somebody's gonna throw it before you do, or maybe you should just fall back because you're gonna lose this battle. There's some battles you just not gonna win.

Just live to fight another day, come back with the homies, or just leave this one alone. I know when the vatos go, I don't give a folk ony. That means yeah, it's about to go down and how that has developed a lot of times, it is the degree for which these people make it clear that they are not the ones. keV on stage he got a merch shirt that say you can do all things through Christ except play with me. What do I mean by I'm not the one? Anybody ever day of the black and knows exactly what I mean?

She say, I'm not the one that usually means you're playing with her. You're playing a little too much. She gonna let you have it with a black woman, saying Okay, yes, the nah, homie, you didn't already crossed the line, and you learned very quickly not to cross that line again. I watched my mama say that to my daddy. Okay, walk out this house one more time. I'm I'm laughing, but it's trauma because that was essentially the like, the last conversation before they split was final. She was like,

walk out this house one more time. You You you know that you there's there's a line that has been crossed, and there's no going back. The only way back is the l apologizing correctly and make that mug right. So I guess this is about accountability and how you get

accountable politically speaking. I watched Andrew Cuomo and I watched The Baby, and to catch you up on both these scenarios and why I think they matter is it has to do with the people for which they crossed, and the people for which they crossed are in hood terms, not the ones you won't you won't play with them, and I think that there's a way we can become that. I don't know if y'all just saw Corey Booker stand up in front of that whole Senate and just blistering

lee support the Blues. The Blue Lives Matter squad made it very clear in no uncertain terms that they have no plans on defunding the police. It mean he ain't scared of us. And I'm gonna take each scenario piece by piece and unpack what I mean by this. If you don't know, the Baby said at Rolling Loud, uh, some pretty homophobic statements. Now, before we even go further, though, let me make it clear and no uncertain terms, that the Hood Politics podcast with propaganda does not stand for

no kind of mess this in my queer community family. Okay, I won't stand for no slights towards nobody. This look you out of pocket. You out of pocket, don't You don't stand for no indigenous slander. I don't stand for no black slander. I don't stand for no brown slander. I don't stand for no Lakers slander. I'm just playing sometimes I'll stand for that. But whatever, you get what I'm saying. We got y'all, we allies, same team. Let's push the line. Now, let's keep on. It just didn't

go well, especially his version of apology. So what he started off with was he was making a statement about like, ladies, if you came here with no STDs, makes a noise, blah blah bla about your you know, put your lighters up, puts flashlight on. Then he was like, fellas if he wasn't sucking dick in the in the parking lot, put your lighters up. He was to get the next song up. Now there was another guy that was probably the DJ, that put some extra sauce on him tacos that added,

like some of y'all nucas, Hill was suspect. That's what pushed it over into even further into the homophobic thing. Now it's important to note that since then I think I saw an article today was today Monday, the thirty one. I recorded this a long time ago. This is an

add in um because this new news came up. He had been spending time off mike, off camera, off social media with a HIV advocacy group, like learning really what's going on with this, And ultimately that makes this story go from like who say something else to more like, oh,

this is more like discipline, like like hood check. Discipline is something that happens in gang culture when somebody's in on on this set not doing right by the set, you know what I'm saying, And for outside looking in, it's like, this is harsh, but it's for the good of the set and for the good of that person.

Good in air quotes, but in this scenario, this is what you want again, harp on this all the time like I don't believe cancer culture, like y'all say, I don't think it's a thing, but cancel culture in this scenario to where it's like, no, it's more like, look, I need you to learn about this stuff, and the hope and hope that you bounce back and become a better person at the end of it. And I'm gonna say this at the end of the show, but I

believe the baby will be fine. I believe he will go do the learning that he needs to go do and will come out come out better. And this article today, as in the thirty one, even though I recorded this a month ago. This the rest of this episode kind of shows that that's what happened, you know. And uh yeah, anyway back, let me give you some context about baby and what the baby represents. The baby is. I mean, he's a street nigked Charlotte, North Carolina, you know, straight

out the block. Just uh, he's just a hood dude. And the embracing of the l g B, t q I a community is not of high priority for hood dudes. You know, in hip hop, especially the high bravado type hip hop, it takes a while for artists to grow and to see more of the world. I think y G and Nipsey both have made statements to where they were like, if there's anything I'll regret, I regret a lot of like some of the the gay slurs that

I've said it in my past. You know, once you get all that you get out of the hood, you just don't you don't know no different. You know a lot of gay stuff that goes down. That stuff either goes down on the low or in jail. So it seems like in in in a lot of street turns of scenes, it's like a power play. It's the it's the softest a man can be in in their context. This is no excuse, this is just explanation, you know. So for him to say that is not in a lot of ways out of touch with how hood niggas

are rap. They don't make it right. Again, it's context. It is a very new phenomenon that this generation is much more clearly, much more open and inclusive and understanding sort of the intersectionality of black, trans black queer community and how all that stuff, you know, kind of interplace and and and works together. This generation is much different. Now interesting, you think, enough, he's from this generation, but

he's also he's just a street nigger. Street niggas don't they're just not a part of that sort of advocacy. Because when you in the streets like that, it's maslow again. You in constant fight or flight kind of situation. You in constant survival mode. You're just repeating what you were taught, you know, and it's not okay. It's just how it is so in typical hood artist situation, you get on your gram and you try to defend yourself and you explain like in the way that he explained, like oh, y'all,

wasn't there you know my gay fans. No, that's not what I was doing. That's not what I was talking about. You know. I was making a comment about STDs and taking care of yourself, which kind of felt like a stretch, but you gotta do some sort of damage control. Then it got so far that he started sucking up the money. He sucked up his own bag, and he was sucking

up the bags of a bunch of events. So events started dropping him because there was a really big outcry about like, man, you don't know nothing about AIDS epidemic. It's not just a gay thing. And no matter how much you clean that up, it's still a homophobic statement. And I understand the hood in them to be like, well, I said what I said. You stand on your square. You try to clarify, but you don't take it back. However, the money was starting to get messed up, so let's

try to clarify again. Then you try to go back again and explain that like, look, man, social media be blowing stuff up. They pile on. You don't give me a chance to learn. I needed to learn. I apologize for my statements that were hurtful, they were unintentional, and he released like an official apology. Now I'll know that man. I don't know his streets, I don't know his hood,

I don't know the people around him, but I do know. Again, like I said earlier, context, when you come from these hoods, you have to learn this stuff later, and unfortunately, with celebrity, you learn it in the eyes of everyone. I learned to let go of a lot of homophobic views and off to my in private among friends, among homies, traveling, meeting people, interacting you you you you, you undo all this stuff. Of course, you know what I'm saying. I'm black.

I come from black church. You know what I'm saying. I come from inner city church. And yo, we had the same views every other church had, you know what I'm saying, and you know, in the black church it was like, well acchoed director, we all know, I mean, we know, you just don't talk about it. You know,

you don't, you don't crack jokes. You know it's there, but you just don't talk about it, and among the Black community historically, there was this view that the LGBTQ community was equating their suffrage to the suffrage of African slaves. And for you know, a generation of activists before us, it felt like an assault because we were at a time to where we thought. Especially if you think about

the MLK generation, they were Baptist preachers. I mean, these people were revolutionaries, but they were also very misogynistic, Like they didn't allow women to preach, so of course they weren't inclusive and affirming, you know what I'm saying. So they had this belief that almo sexuality was a sin. So you were creating your sin to my skin. So when you come from that, you gotta get out the block. You gotta meet other people, you gotta learn other things

for your worldview to expand. It's like how Mark Twain was like, you know, travel is the greatest cure of ignorance, you know what I'm saying, and ends prejudiced to just open your mind up to stuff you gotta get out and to be like, okay, see these views are like super damaging. I'll see what I'm doing now. I understand things like critical race theory and intersectionality and how you know, you could be black and queer, and how the power

dynamics and oppression and how this stuff works. There's just this view that like where we come from, that it's

something else. It took a lot of work, and it takes a lot of work for people of color who again come from these like traditional Baptists and Catholic like it's in the Latino community, to these these backgrounds that you know, Latino community with their very traditional machismo, like you know, men are manly men, you know what I'm saying, Like to really open your eyes and embrace like the full spectrum of who we are and where we come from. It takes a while. It just happened in front of

millions of people with him. Now to take that I want you to take from this is people say, wow, you can just the great women. You could call women all kind of names and hose and bitch as, you could say nigga. You could do whatever you want to women. But as soon as you offend the queer community, and everybody want to stop. Everybody want to stop, everybody want to say, everybody want to take the baby down. Because he finally talked about the queer community. But all this

stuff about women all through hip hop. Hip hop is very misogynistic, very we're killing our own. How come that's not a problem, but the queer community is a problem. I'm not talking about that comparison. Here's the lesson I want you to know. It's because them niggas don't play the my my my homeboy calls it the alphabet game, the l g B t q i A, they called the alphab plus called the alphabet alpabat gang don't play. They're not gonna stand for it. They will funk up

your money. And the lesson we need to learn is they get results because they have action. They be holding people accountable. I'm not coming and this is the energy I would hope that we start bringing to our elected officials where it's like, hey, homey, you said you was gonna do this, you're not doing it. We're not showing up for you. It's that simple. It's because when you say, hey, listen, black people voted for Democrats, like we carried their votes.

We put these niggas in office. They said they was gonna have police reformed by May. Then they was like, yo, we're gonna do it before the August recess. Nothing and then we all just watch We're not we all us nerds that watch stuff like this all Corey Bucker just be like, listen, we're not about that. What's up with the back? Are we still on some back to blue

no matter who? Like, I'm not saying let's jump ship, but I am saying when they call us on to start stumping for him to be like, Yo, where's your receipts? I mean, thank you for the child tax credit? Thanks, but fam, this is what we asked you to do. What the hell queer community was like, say another homophobic thing. See what happens. Guess what niggas don't say another homophobic thing. Niggas fall back and hopefully human and human there is

an actual lesson to be learned. Hopefully, you know, you start choosing your words a little more wisely, you don't realize the damnage you're doing. He's don't realize even though it ain't in the news. No more. I believe the baby. I believe he probably was like damn, I never even all right, you know, I appreciate being dragged on social media, like nig you're not gonna drag me no more, but like, hey, that's you know what I'm saying. I never thought of

it like that. I believe the best in him, But I think that happened because LGBTQ don't play They could get this right or get left. We know we're not playing games. And I think the baby heard him because you put out an apology. Now granted, I will say this, you like media savvy. One oh one is you don't lead with a defense to yourself in an apology, which you kind of did. But that said, I believe him.

I believe that he was like trying to do some damnage control and then realized like, oh no, I don't. You can't mess with them. You gotta like you gotta make this right. This community also understand who to bring the heat too, because they went to the festivals and was like, you gotta drop him or we ain't coming. They understand how to how to bag moves, and in corporation is just worried about the bag. Why do they book artists not because they fans' is because they fans

of the people that they're gonna bring. Do you understand what I'm saying? So when you stop being able to bring. I'm an artist. I'm a hip hop artist. I understand. I've had listen, I've had radio program directors tell me I'm their favorite artist, but they'll never play my music because I just don't fit their programming. Then being a fan of my music, don't know. They're like, we got buired. I'm we here for the buyers, but the buyers don't

like you. We don't like you. So the baby makes actually a good point, even in his defense, it's like, y'all really don't care about the culture. You care about the fact that I have access to the culture. He's telling the truth. That's true. They really you book him because he's hot. They don't love him, which in a lot of ways goes back to a person's hood. Antennas you and this thing. You're just like, oh, these niggers don't love me. Like I know, y'all don't love me.

So I just need to get here, get my bag, dude, I gotta do, you know, do my movement, talk to my talk to my tribe, and talk to him. Well, so when somebody else peaks into your tribe, you like nig block, you don't, it's none of your business. You don't know you don't. You don't even know, like you don't even know what we're doing over here. I get why that would be his defense, But listen, LGBTQ committing there. Look, they're gonna You're gonna respect them. It's what you just saw.

You're gonna respect them for you. So my hope is that he we we saw brought to the baby, we bring that same energy to the Congress, to the legislation, to your governor, to your senator, to Yo, to Yo, your mayor. You feel me bring that heat. Start messing up his money, start messing up her money, start messing up their money. I'll tell you what. They started apologizing me.

You started messing with their money. I mean, I still can't get over Like, I mean, we had an entire summer trying to show all the problems with them, and I mean and and and to Joe's uh defense, he said in the beginning, like, yeah, I'm not a I'm not a defundant police guy. I'm here to perform them. I have the police, and but they're not doing anything. And I'm like, I mean it was, I mean, we had a whole summer of protests. It don't y'all they're

not scared of us, but they're scared of somebody though. Whoo. Which brings us to Governor Andrew Cuomo. Now he didn't step down, but before that man stepped down broad the way, he tried to bring that energy to be like y'all gonna leave you a low My favorite part of his defense. I'm not even gonna get to that yet. Let's back up real quick, Andrew Cromo. Andrew Cromo is New York legacy.

They are the Cuomo family is a dynasty. The thing about New York and New York governorship, their state government office is I mean legendary in the corruption I mean legendary. I mean the names that I mean. Roger Stone is even a part of, like some of the story in the history of like Albany All Bully, shout out my man Seth Static from MC dope artists from Albany, New York, and they called it all Bully, Get it Albany all Bully. Anyway, the corruption up there is like I mean, it's it's

at Chicago level, Like it's just ridiculous. There's a pod, a really dope pod called American Scandal, and they do a couple of dives into the Cuomo family and in their history. Now have you ever taken put your eyes on Andrew Cuomo and his brother Chris Cuomo, who's on CNN. They are like just off looking at them. You're like, oh, y'all New York Italians, like, y'all are you you on brand? Y'all are on Brand New York Italians. And I'm saying this, and I'm stepping out on a limb saying this, But

this is hood politics. It's kind of impossible. Just like if you're from certain parts of Los Angeles and surrounding areas and around my age, you affiliated with gangs, It's just someone in your family, one of your homeboys. You don't have some run ins you are connected. It's impossible. It's the air we breath. It's impossible to be our age and not somehow or another connected with some sort of set. I'm gonna say, to be the a age

from New York and Italian. It's impossible for them to not be in some way, shape or form connected to the crime families. It's just you can't use your antennas. Man, It's impossible now to make the jump to say that that's how he got an office, he's using muscle or that. That's gross speculation. And dare I say it slightly racist? You can't like, yeah, no, you can't be You can't do that to them, Like you can't say because he's Italian, he is a member of the mob and the mob

helped him into all. That's that's ridiculous. You can't say that, just like you can't say to every black person. I remember once at this church event so that he walked up to me and she was just like, hey, so you know before you're a Christian? Were you a crip or a blood? And I was like, excuse me, man, like how so offended? But was like, well, my family was cript. I was like, well, I grew up with the Vato so like I lived in it. I lived in a Latino neighborhood. But why you ask me? You

know what I'm saying. So I don't want to do that to the Cuomos. Now that said, I mean, I I do got family, like you know I do. No Nigga's like, I don't you You're right in that sense, but you don't get to be racist anyway. Cuomos have for a long time, that family has had a grip on New York government. So in a season of me too, where the Democrats have attempted to position themselves as the

party of justice, at least when they run. And you know, liberals is very different than Progressive, which very different than moderates. You know, all this good stuff, but they've attempted to present themselves, especially as a foil of the extremism that Donald Trump was. These differences are clearly seen in the speech Corey Booker gave. Keep coming back to that that we have no interest in really doing much about the police. I can't get over that, dude. I guess could it

just happened anyway? So they tried to be the opposite of it. They you know, it's posturing. You know what I'm saying. It's Biggie Tupac like you had. They they picked a side and decide that they were attempting to pick was the side that was, we believe women. We're here to you know, we're here to uh to see climate change slow down. We are We're here to see you know, racial and political and social justice happened. Now. Granted, we know this is all lift service because I don't

need to get into that. But either way they presented themselves as such, right, and then ran a cop for vice president. Let me just go and I mean, don't bring that energy. Ill love you, Auntie Kamala, but you a cop anyway. And then you know a few years back that it's hard to not hearken back to Al Franken, who took it like a chap who in his situation, some allegations came up. He was like, listen, I don't remember it the way they do, but I'll step down.

He took that l which if we're gonna get into the greater conversation and cancel culture, which is I'm gonna still say not a thing the way that y'all say it. It's what you want. You have a way to hold those in power accountable. He heard the allegations. I don't remember it that way, but there's two people in a moment, and I'll step down. If it's better for the party, it's better for the hood, it's better for the set,

I'll step down. And he did. And I think that's the goal, Like it's not to in somebody's life, do you know, to ruin him forever, but to oh somebody accountable. You know what I'm saying, um, and he did the right thing. Now it's his situation identical to Cromo ab solutely not. But I think that's an interesting example of how in the Democratic Party they attempted to do the right thing. Uh, in relation to at least front facing

I take care of these these these situations. Now republic Is, on the other hand, it's like we go down with the ship like you are boy, you are boy. You know what I'm saying. They live that, we ride you feel the uh, which for better or for worse. I'm just saying that's what they've been doing it now. You know, Oh boy, that's a dog on Supreme Court justice now out there boofing, getting getting drunk as hell and just out there while with these girls. They was like she tripping.

They don't know what she's talking about. It's ridict it's wrong, it's not funny. What I'm not I'm not laughing at sexual assault. Y'all know that, right that this is incredibly awful. I'm laughing from the uncomfortable nous that the Republicans they get a like I don't. I don't get fucked. That's our boy. And it's more like not like oh my God, that's funny. It's just like, damn, I can't believe it unless you just the boss, just the boss you out,

which is crazy. Back to Andrew Cuomo, So a bunch of videos, uh surfaced, eleven complaints kind of came up saying he's he he too touchy feeling, but eleven acts will like assault, harassment cases, some actual very serious allegations about him, you know, putting young interns and workers in positions, young ladies in positions to where like you know, invite you to the crib for like, you know, private meetings, y'all, y'alla, Like all these things kind of came up, and he,

of course off top denied it. Then there's these awesome pictures I'm saying, awesome, you know, you know what I mean by awesome, These awesome pictures of this fool at parties, like grabbing cheeks and face cheeks, not booty cheeks, grabbing face cheeks, and these young ladies when he meets them, you know what I'm saying, really old man stees. But the best part of his defense was this montage that this man put together defending himself about how handsy he is.

It's these pictures of and he's like, listen, listen, I'm Italian. I come from a big Italian family. We're affectionate. He's like, and I do this to everybody, black, white, gay, straight, male female. And he's got this video of him in public, you know, touching, kissing cheeks, blah, being like what he would call just an Italian grandpa. And the most funniest part to me was the idea that he really thought this was gonna defend him. I'm like, homie, this ain't

communicating what you think it is. I was talking to this o G, who I'm not gonna I'm not gonna name no names, talking to this o G. And he was talking about like really trying to teach these young niggas, like better ways to be right. So he was telling the young nigga about this story about you in the streets. You know what I'm saying, somebody disrespect you. You know what I'm saying, kind of get out of pocket. You're like, you know this little nigga too like the booty to

be talking like this. So in the streets you're supposed to go, You're supposed to mark this nigga. And he was telling this story where he was encouraging foods, like, man, just go rob and beat him up a little bit, you know what I'm saying, Like you get your respect, Like that was his advice. His advice was like, yo, n just just go just hit lick man and live to survive another day. Like I was like, Yo, that's this is like that streets it like that's actually good advice,

you know, saying because at least nobody died. At least you got a murder case. Like, but I'm like, making it's not communicating what you think it is. You feel me. I remember one of my homeboys used to be like, you know, back when selling we was you know, illegal. He would say, man, you know, I mean I slang, but like only enough for a misdemeanor. So I just I'll just be telling young homies like carry enough on you.

That's like not a felony. And I'm like, okay, that's I guess that sound advice, you know, like you're trying to communicate to me that you're doing the right thing. And I'm like, I don't know if it's coming off the way you imagine it coming off. It's this video was that where I was just like bro pro pro Yeah, yeah, you ever had to look at you ever had to look at your sibling what they was trying to give, give, give your parents to what had happened was a story.

And you're doing to like chop the neck like stop stop stop stop stoping eight bro, he shut the fun Like you know what I'm saying, like this is not You're not helping yourself. I'm trying to tell you you're not helping yourself. That was this Andrew Cuomo video. I was like, this the funniest should I ever seen in my life because you really think this is helping. It's not helping. Now. As a side note, come on now, y'all know, use your antennas. Big Homies called Cuomo and

was like, you need to sit your ass down. We're not playing with your asks. No more sucking up the money, sucking up the move. I don't care. I don't care how long you've been out here. I don't care. Like I'm gonna say this one more time. Stop running your motherfucking mouth and step down now we listen use your antennas. Of course that happened, but anyway, let's get back to it. So and it's just like I said with the hood like you. You. I said what I said, I did

what I did. You know what I'm saying. You don't like you don't back off nods, because again, politics are just like good stuff. You just know I did what I did. Y'all misunderstood. You just out clarified, But y'all misunderstood. I'm not the problem. Y'all just misunderstood. You weren't there, just same way the baby was like, no, y'all weren't there. Finally, as of this morning, this is August Tent. He resigns.

But in his resignation speech, he was like, Okay, to drag the taxpayers out into this long situation, this ain't good for everybody. I'm just gonna fall back. But I want you all to know there is still an anti Italian sentiment across New York. I was being cultural. We are touchy feely people, and and I'm from a different generation like you applying these rules to me, And I'm like, I just why are you guys not understanding of the fact that, like, I'm just from a different world, y'all

are being judgmental and prejudice towards my culture. But I'll fall back. I'll fall back. I will resign. That is a lot to unpack with that statement. One of the things to unpack with that statement is again the understanding and importance of critical race theory and white supremacy, how all that stuff works. You have to remember that in a lot of really white supremacists, far right circles, they

don't think Italians are white people. It's the strangest thing, but they they honestly believe Italians or something other than white, which is now again whiteness blackness. Social construct have to do with power and control. So we understand that, and the structuring formation of whiteness was a foil to justify slavery. We understand this nonetheless, But they don't think Italians is

is white. Now Italians know they white, they also know they know they're white in the sense that we ain't niggas. And if you know anything in the history of of of Brooklyn, and when Brooklyn kind of switched from Italian and black in the amount of like just go watch the movie do the Right Thing, that's a good example of the cross between these two cultures. Now that said, I used to always tease um my homeboy Andy Mineo's

who's half Italian, called him Alan irishman. You know, I'm saying the Italian and right Irish, which just means this man just want to fight all the damn time. Anyway, I used to tease him and I used to say, you know, Italians are the black white people. Y'all got big old families, y'all get pay, y'all loud as hell. You love music, you know what I'm saying. And yo, and you experience prejudice, right, And so I used to

just teach him about that. I'm also going on tour this fall with the Honey as long as Delta don't be no hater, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, probably pop dot com. But that said, I am going to acknowledge for Mr Cromo that there is a history of prejudicial treatment towards Italian Americans. You are absolutely correct and Italians, yes, I understand. In your culture, you guys are affectionate. I get it. In my culture, we allowed and my culture

were pretty mean to our children. My wife looked at me a few times, it was like, why are you mercilessly teasing your own child? And I'm like, have you met my mother, my father? Have you met your mother in law? Have you heard any stories about my mama, and she's like that sweet lady that takes care of our grandchildren, that woman that gave every single dime for your ass to make sure she said, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. I'm like, yeah that woman. Nobody. Let me

tell you. Why. Let me tell you why black people don't ever worry about getting roasted at school, Why we're so good at it, Why it's so fun. Why are we so quick with comebacks, Why we don't never cry, Why we always got something to say back to you. It's because our mama's, our aunties and our uncles roast us. They'd be cooking us. They cook us mercilessly. Let me tell you. And what you have to do is clap back.

There's no listen, you have no there's no option. You have to clap back because if you cry, you're not part of the family because you you just never get to participate in nothing. So where we come from, we just roast each other. We roast our kids. Now, maybe there's some historical trauma in that truth. Maybe it's because I don't know, we uh, you know, we was paraded

as slaves. But a lot of times it's like it's because we say we're trying to prepare you for it when you go outside of our houses, we love you. This is our way of toughening you up. This is our way of of showing our affection. We roast our children. And I'm like, and I'm looking at my first gin Mexican wife saying, wait a minute, did you just call my nephew gortigo. My nephew's nickname is fat. You called that's what you call that little boy? You call that

little boy fat? Are you mad at me? I'm like, yeah, y'all, y'r body shame for fun. So like listen, we all got our cultural things, you know. And and and in Mexico it's called a Kadokadeno is like it's a nickname that you give like a kid that's usually pretty mean. It's usually the opposite of what they are a lot of ways. So if you call it get Gordo, it's because he's actually really skinny, you know what I'm saying, Gordius,

because she's actually really really skinny. Or if you call it or somebody that's kind of big, you call him flock hole. It's like, you know, until they get older than they actually than the name actually fits the size that they are right, But when their babies you call them the opposite. That's just anyway. The point is everybody got their things and you write, we can do better. We should stop doing this to our children. But it's definitely a part of our culture. However, do we be

roasting niggas at work? No? Well, maybe to the other black person at office, but not in public. We know to turn it off. You can't roast people at work. You can't talk to your co workers the way you talk to your nephews. You think we all know that. You think I know how to not be like, hey, naked win the phone call when I'm at work, But I know how to stop saying marked the car. Because I'm from Los Angeles. We out sawe loose kids. We had to call our MoMA at work to be like, Yo,

what's for dinner or what we're supposed to do? What I supposed to be home? She answered the phone like Administration office. This is Janice. I'd be like mom, She'd be like, what all of a sudden she sound black again. It's called code switching. I'll be out here. Yeah, you know what I'm saying. We all you're jigging on the lit cut you know, cuts over on the corner. No, nigked,

I'll say, nig at work? Hell wrong with you? How would that be my defense if my boss come in the room and he say, uh so, Mr Petty, um, I listened to your your conversation on the on the phone yesterday, and then you seem to use a lot of well, I don't know what they call that street lingo. If I was like, oh, yeah, no, that's where I'm from, hommie loose this outside last week? You know what I'm saying. And you know I was trying to be respectful. You feel me crip, but like, look, man, cul was you

know what I'm saying. Like I understand what I was saying. So I had to tell him, like, look right outside, you know, right next to the park, this is where we know nigger. I was like, I'm not gonna have that conversation because I'm at work. My wife, no, my first gin bi lingual Afro Mexican, her granddaddy black as hell. I've never done wound. I know she don't look it, but regret she from Southern Mexico to central You know,

I could poke a granddaddy black is hell. That woman no not to be like a food when she go to work. It ain't foods gone wild when she go to work. Call me double consciousness code switching chromo. You can't you you can't You mean to tell me you don't understand that you ain't supposed to be touchy feeley at work, My nigga, that's what you're saying right now. That's your defense. You can't be touchy feely at work. But listen, you don't took on the wrong people. And

you can't get no bullshit as apology. That ain't a real apology. It don't work like that. This ain't to say. This ain't the nineties like. You gotta come with better energy than this. This to take it on the chin season. This the I'm gonna do better season. You feel me now? You could bounce back. Let me go back to baby. Baby gonna bounce back. He gonna be all right. He's gonna take this. Heil, but he's gonna bounce back. It took him a while, but he's gonna bounce back. He

will be all right. Streets loving, he'd be fine, but he's gonna be He gonna feel that because he didn't offended the wrong people. And I think this this these these are white women said no more to this, Andrew Quobo. White ladies say, I ain't know caring home me. I'm about this action. That's crazy that white girl. That's like, listen,

you ain't finished. Stay in power on me now. Once they started acknowledging the actual movements and power that black feminists have done, you know that sojourn the truth being like, like you start recognizing, you know what I'm saying, we're really putting his work in here. You know these these sisters out here. Then man, I'll tell you what who It's gonna be some receipts. There's gonna be some some payments. Boy, you feel me. But the point I'm trying to make

is at Cuomo, you didn't mess with the wrong folks. Look, the Democratic Party taking some els these days, you know, especially with this um Gavin do some recall like we like these some els. And I'm like the party was like listen, man, look, we gotta we need to throw these people a body, like somebody, somebody. We gotta sacrifice somebody. Cuomo, you out look, you can mass and cross the rad black people. You can allow for a variant to spread

across your state. You can miss allocate funds, you can steal money. Because we really ain't drawing the line in the sand. L g pt Q community drew a line in the sand. It was like, Nah, that's too far, homie and me too a movement. They was like, all right, yeah, I'm bringing to smoke and I respect it. I respected so much. So what I'm saying is, let's bring that energy to the entirety of our government, to all the

other issues too. You know what I'm saying. Let's learn and be like listen, look at them foods and be like say a nothing to say another word. I wish you would. This is what you said you was gonna do. You're gonna do it or hands gonna be thrown by voting, not not insurrections, because that's ridiculous. That's not what I'm saying. Not insane, right, it's unless it's needed. I'm gonna stop
