Come on in and come on in and come on in with flame Nick
and Triple, I mean she flamed, Nick and Lauren. Y'all come on in so we can join y'all into this conversation today because it's going to be quite interesting. To be quite interesting. I had an amazing weekend, ladies and gentleman. Let me tell you guys that this weekend I was at the Laugh Factory in San Diego and it was
actually pretty awesome. I had at least about thirty flame mats to show up from out of town and in town and came and drove seven eight hours from northern California, Vino Diva and Leslie by the Bay and so many So thank you guys for coming out and showing love and support. I appreciate it. I told you I was gonna get yall your moneys were kid next man. Hello, Lauren, Hello, flame. How you guys doing Did you color? It? Did not color?
You can still see that great I turn. It's only a little pass right there, but the rest of it looks very dark, and it looks so thick. It looks like it it looks like a bush, looks like is that the entrance to a burning bush? You know what this is. It's a whole lot of filters. Let's keep it read. We love a good filter, though it works. I'm doing alright, doing alright. It's been it's been a challenging weekend, but you know it's it's I'm doing well.
No complaints. What was challenging about it? What happened? I just think it's just been a lot happening in the media, Lauren, and I've just tried to stay positive and focus on things that I'm grateful for. But it just seems that there have been so many things in the media that seemed to be a one to punch every time you turn around. You know. So, my mom lives in Chicago, as you all know, and this weekend they had Lollapalooza and it was just massive, four days, four days, a
hundred thousand people per day. More than that because I saw Megan the Stallion sets. She had a hundred and eighty thousand people and uh yeah, okay, and there was not There were masks, but it wasn't a hundred thousand masks. And then flame as you know, c t A is the major transportation system in Chicago, and there were a couple of people who just tweeted pictures of people jammed onto c t A no mask. Now this isn't Lollapalooza, so everyone is clear is outdoors. However, they were large
crowds still gathered together, which raised some concerns. And then everyone jammed on the trains Lauren going to Lollapalooza, you know, back and forth throughout the city. So it's gonna be interesting. And I just worry about older people like my mom, or people who can't get vaccinated for whatever reason or just don't want to um and the spread of this virus as it continues to um mutate. So yeah, that's
what was on my mind. Yeah, well, I saw a report today it was saying that people that are vaccinated are not dying from contracting COVID, whether you're vaccinated or not. But we're seeing more and more crazy numbers like I was, of course watching my news outlet and MSNBC this morning, and they've got the graph back up in the daily number of cases and the different you know, color coordinated maps, and so we're starting it feels like we're reverting backwards
in a lot of ways. And I also read that the delta variant hasn't a new variant. It's called like a delta plus. So is that first class. It's getting a little crazy around all of this. And you know, Lindsay Graham just tested positive. The health physician just told him while you know, he was at here's the question, what did ansay Graham test positive? Four? It's said COVID you no answer, no answer. That was a h question.
But you know what, I do fear the Lauren. It's one of those things where we we can remember the days of George Bush, when President Bush had mission accomplished victory, and I remember President Biden saying that you know, um he seggested. We were on the other side of this, you know, and and when we were all saying we
could remove our masks. I think we all know now we should probably wear those masks in any type of group setting, simply because we just don't know what's happening, but it also seems as though we're not through this, Like maybe he declared victory too soon. I don't know. I'm not beating up on him, but I just feel like that we're right back, like you said, where we started, if not worse. Well, the problem is is that we tried to do this whole honor system like that was
an intelligent thing to do. I think that was the most stupid thing that we could have done. Like I said, when we when it first came about, and that's what the issue is. You can't determine who's vaccinated versus who's not vaccinated, who's been exposed, who's like there was no way to um contact trace, there was no way to do it. And so now we're getting into this space where we're also getting other, you know, mutations of this virus.
It's just getting worse. So and I also saw the CDC director talk about their contemplating mandating vaccines for everybody, and you know, um, somebody in the White House I forgot who it was, was on MSNBC again and was saying that they're not putting past the idea of locking us down again. It's all these things are being discussed so and it's so funny. I remember teasing you Flame when Flames said, Nick, they gonna help us carrying a car.
That's They're not gonna do that. That's ridiculous. Why would they do that? My card is laminated in my wallet and mine I got from Pookie right right now for Plus tax Baby, it's laminated, and say anything I wanted to say. It can also says that I'm female. Go figure, let me tell you something. I hate that it's happening like that. And I'm not going to attack Biden because I did both for Biden because I believed in Biden.
But I did say when he said that the Maxi man, they relaxed the maximn that I remember saying on here on life and learn that. I think he moved on that one just a little too soon. We already had opposition about wearing the mask from Jump. It's gonna be hard to tell people stop wearing the mask now start wearing the mask again when we didn't want to wear them the first time. The plus US, I never stopped wearing my mask and I never stopped spraying nobody. And
if you've been in my same vicinity. Guess what you have been sprayed with? Lisol? Yeah, I got sprayed this morning. And I'll say this too. It's one of those things where, you know, we're also just talking about how, you know, what do we do because we now have some governors like Governor de Santis who has said, you know what,
we will not impose a mask mandate period. But there are some parents who want their kids to go to school wearing a mask, you know, And and so now there's this there's just so much confusion, I think, for I can't imagine what it's like to have a little one right now where you may be worried about them who have to be in this environment, and then having conflicting messages from administrators and and and elected officials. You know,
at least Lauren, you Flame and our we're adults. We can decide whether or not to move into those spaces. But I feel like so many of our children are being used as au as, as guinea pigs. And you word to segue in when you itty pig, let's roast the pig this morning, this afternoon, the roasted pig will be the twelve total six fingered inbred clown white trash that they call governor run the santists because from jump, he has put Florida, the citizens of Florida, in harm's
way with no mask. He didn't believe in it. His children ain't gonna win. His words, his words. This is the governor of the state of Florida said, my children ain't gonna win, no mask. He said, ain't gonna win, no mask. This is what he said. The person that you guys in Florida voted for it to be. Now they said he might be the next president because he's looking like the best candidate. I like, yeah, Florida may
want him. Yet we don't trust me. We don't. Florida reported twenty one thousand, six hundred eighty three new coronavirus cases on Friday Perdeay. That's perfect day total since the start of the pandemic. And that's according to data released today by the Senate Sturd Disease Control of Prediction. And I'm gonna be honest to Florida is number two in terms of the most cases the we're getting. California is
number one. So yes and just and just so we make a clarifying statement because you guys, I'm always reading the comments as we're doing the show. We are not blaming the vaccinated versus the unvaccinated in terms of who is catching COVID. We are simply relaying what we are watching on the news. That's all we're doing, and not taking and hear me, and hear me clearly on this one, because if you don't like what I have to say about the vaccinated and unvaccinated, this door is not locked. Leave.
I have never changed my stand on how I feel about this vaccine. Do I trust the science, I absolutely do. Do I trust the scientists and the politicians in charge, I absolutely do not, And I've been very clear about that. I'm telling you the lies and the different stories. Who warp speed? Super speed got to be refrigerated sub zero room temperature? Make up your man? But why are you making up your man? You will not use my body to help you figure your ship out. You better go
get some lab rats because it won't be me. But I think that's a good point. Circling back to Rohn de Santis, though, is that we're seeing in a lot of ways that people are trying to put him as the forefront of he can be the next Republican president, that we have because he mirrors Trump to a degree, but in some instances he's trying to seem like he
has his own individuality. Um. Like, initially he was creating all of this, you know, dissension around getting vaccinated, and he was a part of, you know, the Fox News group that was dispelling all this disinformation about why you shouldn't get vaccinated, and a lot of those anchors are not being sued. But then all of a sudden he flipped and said, you guys should be getting vaccinated. It's a great thing to do. And then we reinstate mask
mandates and he's like, we're banning that. We're not, We're not, We're not doing that because this is a choice. So, um, I think that, well, I hope. My hope is that Floridians are don't fall for the okay doc as we would say, and really understand what their governor is doing and what the ploy is here. Um But as we always know, time will tell so and and before we bring you back to say something, let me say this before y'all start jumping down Biden stroke if he has
to shut the country down. Biden did not start this. Biden was not at the hand of this when it originally started. We have to go back to the root of this. The people that were in charge when this first hit that we heard about it March, because they knew about it before then, they didn't protect They didn't protect us, They didn't cover us. They didn't tell us to do a B, C and D E. They just let it play out. So Biden walked into a room full of crap that he had to try to fix.
So give him patience and time to fix it. But don't blame him for somebody else's mistake. He's only trying to fix somebody else's mistake before he can even get to do the job that he needs to do. And remember, the same people that put us in this situation, the same puts people that put us here in this situation try to um not even allow him to become the president. Remember Trump didn't even want to step down. Yeah, there was definitely we're still doing with a difficulty with the
transition of power. So just to let you know, Uh, the Santist does have a six percent job approval rating. Um And I believe and someone can correct me on this, but I know the Santists went to Harvard, but I think he may even be a Rhodes scholar. Just so you know that he's considered to be one of the most intelligent elected officials UM that has served. So just just Ryan the santist Nick, Nick, we may have to pause Instagram. I think we're talking about COVID nineteen too
much on Instagram is trying to block our blessings right now. Yeah, we've we've officially been flagged by Instagram. No more, No more coronavirus talk. Here's my Let me say my last thing about the coronavirus and the vaccine. If your decisions, if whether you want to be vaccinated or not, it is your decision. I'm not gonna tell you what to do or what not to do. Whatever you decided to do, I'm with you because it's your decision, not man. Okay, let's go to the next topic. Let's talk about some
own bowels, my hero right now, my Shiro. Yes, yes, indeed. So it's getting darker. Uh. They they're attacking flames page. Oh my god, I tell you what. Let flame. Can we talk about your weekend, the shows and things you want. Let's do that. Let's talk about how it is getting back out there on the road flame. What's they like now? Now the people are going back into the comedy clubs
and such. It was a wonderful experience. I took my cheak note on stage with me, y'all, because I hadn't been on stage and during a whole hour in a year, and I only had to look at it twice. But I had an amazing time. I had beautiful people in the audience who came to laugh with me and learn some things from me. I kick my drink over every show. Not on purpose either, clumsy. I did keep my drink over every show, but I met some beautiful people who
asked me some wonderful questions about everything. And I made the people laugh. I made the people sit back and relax and enjoy me. And before I moved in on further on the comedy world, let me just say, um uh, let's give a let's get praise and prayers out for Kathy Griffin who just was diagnosed with cancer and she never even smoked. So you know, outside of coronavirus, there's so many other things that could possibly happen to you in this life. And that cancer that's c is ugly.
That cancer eats you up from the inside out. So pray us for Kathy Griffin and her family, her trap. So flame mets, y'all send some love over there. We don't know what's happening with us. We were talking about the vaccinat and they have really flagged my page 'all. But don't don't say that. Don't say the V word again. Let's see if we can. So on another note that
we do want to talk about some own biles. And I'm gonna be running tech over here, Nick, so I may need you to pop in a little bit, but to talk about to talk about some own biles, I want to give huge, huge kudos a shout out to her for all um that she's doing right now in the world of gymnastics. Not only did she prioritize her mental health, I think the component of her story that's kind of being missed is despite her taking a step back, she's really open the doors for these other gymnasts to
actually have an opportunity to win some medals. You know, Sunny Lee has gotten you know, a gold medal for um all around and um Jay Kerry I believes her last name, she just got a gold medal for the floor. So I did see reports today that someone is going to be back in time to do the beam, which I think is great. She's going to be competing with
her teammates Sunny Lee. Um. But I think that's one thing that's being missed here is that because of someone taking a step back and prioritizing her mental health, she's really opened the doors and allowed for her other teammates and even other alternates to be in a space where they can actually compete where they really thought they weren't
going to have the opportunity. So can we talk about that, Lauren and the selflessness and the bravery that takes because you, first of all, she's talked about how she had to uh adjust her training because she was prepared for the Olympics. Happened when they were supposed to happen, right, So now you've continued to put your body through this, You're like, Okay, I'm gonna I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna get this
done now. To get here and realize, you know what, I may not be at my best or the most important thing for me to do is to make sure that my teammates have an opportunity to shine. It's it's it's one of those things that she's chosen to step out and let somebody else step into the sunshine. And I just think that's absolutely fantastic. Just like you said, Lauren, it's just once again a young woman leading the way.
On Tuesday morning, that will be the last time we get to watch our favorite gymnasts compete at the Tokyo Olympics. The final day of gymnastics events finals promises to be a special one cause Simone Biles will make her return to the competition floor. The four year old, as you said, Lauren, withdrew from competition earlier, but she'll be back on that beam. My issue, though, Lauren, that beam is the one that makes me the most nervous the way they slip on
that thing that is no wider than an iPhone. I'm like, come on, you know, it seems like to me, big black cane jump rope on that being. We know big black at do no joe rumping rope jumping on that being that absolutely not get yourself between the legs. So that the most adult thing that I think that happened with her and whoever surrounding her and her team told her to save your mental capacity, because that's that mental health right now? Is we all we all need so
fus they just need to put couches out. We all need some therapy right now after this whole madness that we've been living through. But I applauded that they did. She had the right people in her ear and then, and she listened to them, because a lot of times you can have the right people around you. That's me, and you don't listen to him, that's Lauren. But but Lauren always advises me correctly. And sometimes I listened. Sometimes I was that girl knock at all, But she listened.
And it's going to pay off for her because she's still young enough and she is still one of the greatest athletes of all time. She's still got a whole lot of life left in her. So hats off to some own vile for uh for covering your mental stability because I'm changing without your man, don't she work? Yeah?
And I think too, is that I've seen um minimal I'll say, negative backlash of people trying to come after her considering all she's been through, because at the end of the day, let's be real, she doesn't really need any more metal. She's got nineteen and being a survivor of sexual assault and all of the things that she's gone to. I saw a tweet that she put out. She said she literally couldn't tail up from down a couple of days ago, so she's she's really been going
through it. So I really want to applaud her and just say that we are here to support you. I saw what she said. The only thing I can think about I wanted did she get into my gummies? And I will say this to Lauren. I think it's another example of how uh, the bravery it takes for athletes who are professional athletes to come out and talk about
how they too struggle. Because I also think we can't ignore the cultural implication as well, right, I think that it's not uncommon for African Americans to move into space where we don't always say hey we need help or hey I'm struggling here because we're culturally we're always just to shake it off, keep moving, keep going. And then athletes, professional athletes, I think as another layer of you better tough it out, keep going. You don't you don't get
to complain. But yeah, she's like, wait a minute, WHOA, I'm a human underneath all of this and back to something you just touched on, Lauren. Let's not forget we literally just got through dealing with Larry Nassa. He's still running around you all. The Olympic committee still hasn't really
dealt with. I feel as though the trauma that so many of these athletes have been through with a predator on their staff for so long, and and we still don't know if they've completely cleaned house enough for those who knew and could have possibly done more to protect these young women. Yeah. Absolutely, and I mean great thing that Larry uh Nasa is in jail now. But to
your point, though, we don't know who always involved. You know, we have situations like r Kelly where it was like his whole staff was involved in what he is doing with these young girls. So who knows who was covering up on the Olympic term side of things and how you know, just the proper support wasn't in place where the parameters to say, to protect these girls and there were so many of them. So um, I absolutely agree
with you on that front. So that's why I'm saying it's more important than ever to be protecting your health. And you're in Tokyo without your family in the midst of a pandemic, and Japan's cases are going up. It's a lot to have on your mental capacity, and then you still got to compete and perform at a certain level. It's a lot, it really is so. And the way in the world is on your shoulders. That speaking of the way in the world on being on people's shoulders.
I know we didn't bring this up, but today there the rent moratorium ended. Yeah. Oh, evictions is about to come down left and right. If y'all go back to coffee time with flame Monroe March, I told y'all keep an open communication with your landlord. Always pay whatever you can, because I'm telling you it's gonna a lot of people. I'm sure that. I'm sure the courthouses in all fifty states was flooded this morning with landlords vouling eviction notice.
But I really have to say, though, I think that the government really screwed up in this area. Because while I understand, you know, people, we need to definitely um house the unhoused. However, the government didn't take care of landlords. You know, I saw a report yesterday that said across the country there's over you know, twenty one million dollars worth of just rent in general that landlords didn't receive
because of this whole eviction moratorium. So while yes, we want to unhouse those and not have anybody on the streets, but there should have been parameters in place to protect landlords as well, because they still got to pay their mortgages. Yeah, that's why y'all needed some section A baby. Gets you some section a baby if you came. If you can't wait on the list, I know, pooky ray um, they hook you up for like three hundred dollars. I'm gonna
let you on know something's happening. I've been flagged here and I'm not sure what's happening of your You got flag too, it says try again later at the top. Yes, okay, so we got fat too. Can you still see me? We have Kendall is letting us know if we are still okay, because we've officially been flagged and we can't see anything in. Your screen is going to go dark eventually, Nick, just as a four warning. So let me see the
screen is now as darker. I can see the questions on Kindle's phone because I'm looking at Oh yeah, let's let's leave this here so we can kind of see some of the questions or comments that you'll have. But y'all, Instagram, it's after us today. My god, do you want to apologize to Mark Zuckerberg? Hell no, hell no, we don't. In fact, Mark Zuckerberg, please catch me on August eighteenth, when I would be taping the Breakfast Club, because baby, yes,
that got confirmed. Oh Nick, you just went out. Huh oh no, you're there. We hear you, We hear you. Okay, alright, we're good. Um, it's just this is interesting. We've never had this before. Well, August eight will be at the Breakfast Club. And because we don't even know where to go now because we the screen is black and the comments are still movement. We can see him, I can't say him when I tell you kinda got the little bitty phone. I can't see them. But I'm a just
for warn y'all. For all y'all that are in the comments previously talking about what happened to Nick and why is it a photo? Is because of stuff like this, we still got to put out a show. So Nick may just have a picture of if we can't download this damn video, Just so y'all know And here's the thing, y'all, because we use our own minds, which is the end of the message that we give every laugh and learn. We don't ask you to um what what is it. We're not getting you to change your mind. We just
want you to use your man. But you have to have one to use it. Because we critically think professionally, and we don't always agree on this platform, all three of us. We don't always agree, but we speak our mind. But now you see when you do speak your mind, if you're not following the masses, This ain't the Jim Jones effect. Nobody will never tell me everything to do. I think for flame row, and sometimes I'm right and sometimes i'm not. But when i'm not, I say I'm
not because I don't. I don't know where we're going with this thing. I just made my own man. I know y'all can see and hear us, but we can't see his ship. We're looking at a black screen. Oh they're blocking some of our viewers to somebody else just said that their screen is black. So yeah, see, we we may have a short show today, you guys, but we're still gonna have a show. Yeah, We're still gonna have a show, and we're still putting out the message
and we're still talking about what we're talking about. So hats off to some own bios and all the athletes over there that are doing that thing, or from American athletes to all the other countries. I saw one girl tried to defect from Belfast or something. Did you see that? And they arrested her. She didn't want to go back to her country. She didn't like the treatment. Yeah, I remember they used to do that in the seventies and it was much easier. It looked like it's much more
controversial now. It used to be like, I don't want to go back, and they would take those people to safe places. Now it's a whole lot of real take I think too though, because of the pandemic. And I don't know if you guys have also just seen from a um nature perspective, I guess we can call it of what's happening in so many different countries across the world, between floods and wildfires and just natural disasters. It almost looks like in some ways that the planet is retaliating
against us. And you know, there's a lot of protests happening from Brazil to Germany, and people are really starting to be freethinking individuals that a lot of these regimes and governments are like absolutely not so in the midst of you know, COVID and everything, it's hard to go back and forth between different countries. So I just think that we're kind of seeing a lot of things, you know, boiling to a head in a lot of different spaces where people are going to be seeking refuge to come
to America. Not not that it's really a great country at this point in time, but you know, it's safer than a lot of other countries. So I'm on delay. I'm moving in slow motion, y'all. Stop looking at just stop looking at think. I think my wife I had an addible real talk one of them good California, Northern California, and it was where they grow it up in the farms. I think that after today's show, we will reset, And
I didn't what's funny, flamous. I don't feel like today was anything super I'd really like to know what the standards and parameters are. I said a week ago or two weeks ago that the conspiracy was they would start telling everybody. Snake went out that they would start telling everybody who who's unvaccinated this, this, this is this and this, and then pushing people to get vaccinated. I'm not going to change in my tune. Y'all can ship me down. You ain't gonna ship me up. You can show me down,
but you damn shore we're gonna shut me up. Well, I'll say this, let's move on to our last topic, and then we're probably gonna close out because I see some of the flame mats, their screens are starting to go black to um. We wanted to talk about ed Buck before the day was over, so somebody put an Instagram up post up a couple of days ago to say I don't hear any celebrities talking about a book, and my name was listed in it. It was a
bunch of celebrities name. I was like, well, player, do your research, because what you don't know's two years ago when I take the ready, I said that they are a buckets still running free while killing black men in Hollywood. Nobody ain't say nothing because you're all too worried about which bathroom you can use and what the baby the mama of the cousincy Because I don't give a damn about that either, So don't attack me for saying I didn't say, because I knew who he was, and I
addressed the situation, y'all. They finally arrested him after two years. But how many dead bodies? Yeah, And I think the main thing was ed book was this you know, prominent and you said, I use air quotes. He was this prominent white male with a lot of money, and he was politically connected. He was politically connected, and all of these you know, young gay black men were mysteriously dying
and nobody chose to investigate it. So I think now that you know, we're starting to see some retribution in the space around him, that people are starting to feel better about it. I guess you could say, but I don't think that it's getting as much media attention as people think it should. And quite honestly, I agree. I think that's a major story that should be talked about
in the news and the media, and it's frankly, it's not. Well, if it was if it was white boys, it would have been a Jeffrey Dahmer, And I mean not Jeffrey Dhmer. What's the other one? Game have been black? Black white boys? Did have been gaze the effect, but because it was Buck with black boys, it kind of get scurted by the wayside. The country ain't changed. Understand me that the country has not changed. And I see this country. I see you. You're trying to block me, but I see
you no flavors like I see you. I see you trying to block when you can't block me. Okay, no, but yeah, it's um. I think that finally, there are a lot of families who have been screaming and uh, trying to get justice for their loved ones who had, you know, fallen at the hands of ed Buck or
at the very least had been involved with him. Um. And then questions weren't answered or investigations did not follow the course that they thought was best to really receive justice in the way and manner that they felt as though they deserved. UM. So Yeah, Ed Buck is definitely in jail right now. And he was convicted for I believe I'll look up the exact charge, but I believe was convicted on manslaughter for at least two of those incidences. Yeah,
and let's see if those charges stick. Let's see what the pelops process looks like. I hope that this story gets more media attention and they dive more into it. Um. But like I said, I'm glad that there's some type of retribution starting to come. And like you said, Nick, some of these families are really starting to get some closure whatever that may look like around this process and you know, losing their loved ones. And I hope that he gets into gym pop real talk who that's what
I hope. He like needles, He liked the stick needles and people to see the tested limits. Let's see what a little shut up to say. We already gotten flag already in trouble. Don't don't pull a little down, You're gonna pull a little boosty on me up. So on that note, Nick, do you have any final thoughts because I'm seeing more and more people are starting to get uh kicked out. So yeah, I think I think it's trying to get us here. Just uh No, I really
don't want everybody to stay safe. I want people to continue to wash their hands and do what's best for them. Like Flame mentioned earlier, because we would not have a show if you all were not here. So you all are our extended family and we appreciate you and we value yourself that where your masks, wash your hands, social distance and if you black me spray everybody with lifes it works. Yes, indeed, m Nick please follow Nick Smith on all social media platforms and Nick Smith News. What
you get to say? What's your agenda this weekend? Um? My agenda this weekend is definitely to stay safe. Like you guys are saying, Um, you know, I'm traveling a lot again. I'm going back to Atlanta next week and I'm not gonna lie. I went to New Orleans and Atlanta in different places, and the MAX wearing is very lax, and it's easy to kind of fall into that, oh it's safe kind of feeling. So I would just say definitely to continue to wear your masks. Get tested if
you can. I just gotta COVID test. I am negative by the way, thank god. And you know, overall, just just stay safe. And the other thing too, is I really encourage people to watch the news. Um. I really got into the news when Trump was president, and I think now since Biden has become president, I've been kind of comelax and trying to stay up on current events and what's happening in the world. It's also too it's kind of draining sometimes, but it's just really important to
keep yourselves informed, so you know what's going on. Nick. Did you see your boy Don Lemon his statement that he made this weekend about people who are unvaccinated? Did you see what he had to say? I did you know? I have a bit of a bias there with that. I don't believe journalists should give opinion in that manner, but that's my own personal opinion on that theory. I don't think we should shame people one way or the other.
But he said people who have been unvaccinated. Me. Let me just let y'all know case y'all didn't hear it, because you know how I feel about Don Lemon. People who have not been vaccinated should not be able to go to the grocery store, should not be able to go to the mall, should not be able to do this,
and that should be able to do that. Nigga, If you don't go somewhere and continue doing what you've been doing with that white boy and leave us the funk alone and just sit there and report the news that CNN tells you report, letter for letter and word for word. Uh, you're not that good real talk. Let me, be honest, because you know, I never forgave him for the Ferguson riots, but the ship he went down there, and forget that he was a black man. You might be a gay
black man, but you're still a black man. I don't give a how much you think that you're friendly with them. They look at you and they see your skin color before they see your sexuality. Player, so you're a double negative. Don't don't do that. And I said, what the funk? I said, y'all can record the screenshot and send them to him. I'm not worried about no, damn don lemon.
If you don't like what I had to say, go back and look at the Ferguson riots when they killed that young boy and he went down the report from the ground level, and see how he threw his own people, his own people up under the bus. Because if it does go down, they're not gonna see that you're gay and you're working for them. They're gonna see that you're black first. Okay, I said it, what happened, So I
guess those re flames.
