Oh all right, guys, we're back. And I got an email and it says, uh, hello, this message is from fat Andy. Hi, fat Andy. Um, why do black people march when the police kill y'all but not when y'all kill each other? Not trying to be funny, but why Taylor, what's your thoughts? Well? I think that? Um hm, I think that. Um. I think that when when when the police kill us, it's it's something in history, right, um.
And so history history when it deals with racism, We've been dealing with that court a long time, right, and so from monthly the king time we marched, from the church time, we march. I think that with with with anything in life, right, Um, when your own do it to you, although it's wrong, but it's a little more accepted. M You see what I'm saying. I think that, and I think that whether you're talking about black people white people, because white people do some things too, and we scratch
your head like like what is going on? You know? You know? One thing, one thing that I that I can't say is that you know they will they will talk about each other until kingdom come, but as soon as some ship goes down, they unite like nothing happened, and I'm like, but this person just talked about your mother and talked about everything, but you reunite so so so, I mean, everybody do different things. I think that when it comes to violence between black on black, um, it happens, um,
and I think that we accept it. But when it comes from a different race, it's almost like another race have no right to take us out but our own. That's just I'm not saying that it's right. I'm just saying that we we we accept it better when we hear oh data down the street took out you know the bond and yeah, I just feel like, you know, um, the police, we pay their salary with our tax dollars
and they're supposed to protect and serve us. Crime in a community, you're gonna have crime in the community that you live in. And if you live in a black community, you're gonna have black on black crime, and white community you're gonna have white on white crime. Asian community, you're gonna have Asian on Asian crime. That is American society. Honestly, we kill each other in the communities that we're in.
Not saying that it is okay, but when the police come in our communities and kill us when they're paid to protect and serve us. That is a problem to me, and that's why we march about it. That's why we're marching on that now. Definitely, do we need to address the crime in our own communities, Absolutely, we do. We do.
But when you're coming in our community, and like you said, you have been taught how to de escalate situations in your career, you know, why are they trying to de escalate with us the same way as that they do in other communities. That is the issue, and that is why we march. Yeah, so I got a little bit uh saying a lot of lines of both on both sides, right, So with me, is is a little bit more metaphysical
than that. Okay, we know that they when they come in the neighborhoods and a black person gets killed by a white person, that's one person down right, Um, And a lot of times the officer is not held accountable whether or not you know it was done uh excessive force or maybe they shouldn't have killed this person at all. Right, when it's black on black crime, we got two people missing out. You have the person that committed it and then the person that's dead. Right, there's no I do.
I personally do not believe that there is more black on black violence than any other community. It's just that it's put in our face more right to cause a mental psychological response to it, so we can keep seeing ourselves being murdered over and over and over and over again. Right, I think people should stop marching personally, it doesn't work. What I think black people need to do is get
life insurance. Okay, when you're driving a car and you're gonna tell a car accident, you're not gonna stop driving just because you got into an accident. You have insurance to cover that. Police literally have insurance to kill people
when they violate your civil rights. Your family get paid. Right, So what if more black people have life insurance, the life insurance company is gonna be coming at the police departments at that point because now we're paying out millions and trillions and dollars and deaths, unjustified homicides, and you you, you you violating people's civil rights. They're not gonna stop because they're licensed and bonded to do so. So marching doesn't work. So if he's asking that question, no, why
don't y'all march. That would be my question back to the white listener, why don't y'all march when the police kill them, because they actually get killed more by the police and black people because but nine times they're the aggressor most of the time. Most of the time they're probably they probably have a gun or a knife charging at the police when they get shot. There's a lot of unarmed black people that get shot by the police, which is why we feel like we have to march
about it. We march to get somebody, just to get charges brought in knowledge. Oftentimes these people just go home and it's months, five, six months down the line and they haven't even been charged with an unjustified homicide. It's not an accident. It was murder. So that's my take on it. Life is charge over marching. Thanks for Andy for us sending that question. We appreciate it. Thank you.
