Added: 2026-05-17

[00:00:01]She break it down down down down down.

[00:00:08]She got a message for the people. A brilliant mind and a clean soul. She standing up to the evil and making sure that we all grow strong enough to break these chains we in that keep us in this painful condition. She give us truth and division. That's why we listen. Break it down down down.

[00:00:31]>> Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Welcome back.

[00:00:33]Welcome back. You are listening to the Daniel Favors on SiriusXM's Urban View where talk empowers and be comes action.

[00:00:40]First things first, hi YouTube. Welcome.

[00:00:42]Appreciate you all joining us on the Urban View Experience. Uh just want to say thank you to all of you who participated in the pause, breathe, decide drop. Uh that drop has closed and shipping is going to begin at the end of this week. In fact, the date is yes, on the 15th of May. That is when shipping for this drop will be out. I am very excited about all of you who have decided we are going to collectively pause, take a deep breath, and decide how we move forward before we make rational decision, irrational decisions. And we were actually talking a little bit about that in today's moment of gratitude. Uh, but I want to also say thank you to all of you who have been supporting this channel. uh the the Urban View channel, the the podcast channel, the YouTube channel, all the members of the YouTube channel who I don't often get a chance to interact with during the actual lives because I'm busy looking at notes, but just want to say how grateful I am for all of you uh who have decided to to support the work that we're doing. It is not easy uh to do this every single day.

[00:01:36]And so I am extraordinarily grateful and all of you who have then gone a step further and become part of the Sanca connection crew where we have way more engagement uh because I feel like that is my my safe social media space where I can actually share things and and people if you disagree with me we can do so lovingly and respectfully um and and and you know still disagree because we going to disagree but in a way that just has been really dope. So I just wanted to start by saying thank you before I get into uh today's conversation about jokes. Jokes jokes are on a lot of us.

[00:02:03]We all when you're the butt of a joke, it can be very very painful. It can be very hurtful and and you can be the butt of a joke in a variety of ways. And I I got a lot of conversation I want to have about Kevin Hart this morning. But before we get to Kevin Hart, I want to talk about other butts of the joke. To be the butt of the joke is the to be the person who sits in a position where the joke is being made about you to your detriment. And we could say that the Americans right now are the butt of the the Trump administration's jokes when it comes to our economy because we've been talking about how uh the the folks in the administration have tried to lie to us and say that having a whole lot of credit card use is a sign of a healthy economy. These are people who talk about all of the indicators that used to demonstrate an economy that was in freef fall using that instead to talk about how the economy is just great. And so when you hear someone like a Fox News and you're going to hear this clip just now. When you hear someone on Fox News talking about the fact that consumers are literally running out of money and this is according to the Hind CEO, it's a problem. Amina, let's play the clip.

[00:03:00]This is the Hind CEO clip. Mhm.

[00:03:02]>> But to ignore the way that people feel right now about gasoline prices and mortgage rates. They are pissed off and they have every right to be upset. And is that quote from the CEO of Hines yesterday, Craft Hinds consumers are literally running out of money and consumers are running out of money. The numbers have been horrific. But you know what?

[00:03:33]Americans, y'all, y'all voted for this.

[00:03:34]You voted for this. And we have not even seen, although the gas prices are remaining redonulously high and rising.

[00:03:40]And we know that food prices remain redonulously high and are increasing.

[00:03:43]This is what you voted for because you voted for the racism. And my isn't racism expensive? It's so expensive it can make you the butt of your own joke.

[00:03:51]And what's interesting about this is that the entire approach to governing in this country has also been a joke. Now, while planes have been crashing and air traffic controllers have been out of work, the Transportation Safety Energy Agency has not been getting paid. You had airlines and airport lines at the airlines in absolute chaos. We have had an entire airline go out of business due to bankruptcy because of gas prices.

[00:04:18]We've got exploding gas prices which makes it really, really difficult for Americans to drive or to do things like take a road trip. That's going to matter in just a minute. Because while all of this has been happening, I have been wondering where the hell is Shawn Duffy?

[00:04:32]Like where he at? Shawn Duffy, who is the Secretary of Transportation. Where is Shawn Duffy? And this is a question that I've been asking because Shawn Duffy is someone that I I remember, right? I'm Gen X, y'all. I know I look young in the face. So young, y'all.

[00:04:45]Somebody actually carded me. Like I literally the other night me and Brian was outside cuz we grown. We grown grown. And the woman came to the table.

[00:04:52]She did not card Brian, but she looked at me and she was like I was like, "Yes." She looked at me. I was like, "Is something wrong?" She was like, "I just I feel like I should card you." I was LIKE, "BABY, YOU CAN CARD ME." YES, HONEY. TAKE ALL MY CARDS. Take them. And it was lovely. It was an amazing moment.

[00:05:10]But I remember I say that to say I'm a little older than I look. Little older than I look. And I remember real world Boston. I remember the Real World Enterprise. This was when uh reality TV was first getting started. And reality TV, we all were introduced to it through shows like The Real World where basically we were told it was unscripted. We of course realized that it would there were a lot of script guidelines, but you basically had a situation where people from all across the country would gather in one particular town and we would we the public would just watch how they interacted. All these strangers would meet and then we would watch how they interacted. And I know a lot of times people don't believe that Shawn Duffy got his start on Real World Boston, but he really did get his start on Real World Boston. I want you all to take a listen to this clip spoken by someone who sounds like she could have been a part of Real World Boston. And I want you to just get a reminder as to who the Secretary of Transportation actually is.

[00:05:54]Let's take a listen.

[00:05:55]>> So, I know that this information is already out there, but does this still trip anyone else up? Shawn Duffy from The Real World Boston is now our Secretary of Transportation. That will never not be wild to me. So, Shawn Duffy was on MTV's Real World Boston in 1998, and he actually went on to do some challenges, too. He did Road Rules Allstars and Real World Road Rules Battle of the Seasons in 2002. That same year that that season aired, Shawn Duffy went on to become a district attorney in Wisconsin until 2010. In 2008, he actually filmed a segment for the Real World Awards Bash while he was district attorney. He went on to join Congress.

[00:06:33]He actually had a short stint as a CNN commentator and then was a co-host for a show on Fox Business. And now he's the United States Secretary of Transportation under President Donald Trump. He also apparently doesn't believe in climate change. He also has like nine children with his wife Rachel Duffy. Rachel was actually on MTV season of The Real World San Francisco in 1994.

[00:06:54]They met on one of the Real World Road Rules challenges and they have been married for a very long time. I'd imagine they're probably the longest running couple from MTV's Real World Road Rules.

[00:07:05]>> Yeah. The reason I wanted to share that is because I think it's important for people to be reminded that when you feel imposttor syndrome, just know that Shawn the Real World Boston Duffy uh who showed his whole ass. He was the one who moed the the audience and we got to see his ass or you know the the camera covering of his ass. This is somebody who had no qualifications for the position he's currently in. The joke is on us because that's how he got his start. And so for the past seven months, I have been wondering where that man at.

[00:07:32]Y'all remember back in January when he showed up in Wisconsin because his son-in-law was running for office and he was not authorized to be there, but he was trying to front like Donald Trump supported his son-in-law. He got in a lot of trouble for that. Remember how uh we learned how in November how the flight delays had been spread because there were all these air traffic controller issues. The shutdown was dragging on because the government was shut down and and transportation folks were not getting paid and we had staffing delays at airports like in Nashville and Chicago. Remember how those flight delays started increasing and how not just Chicago O'Hare but Dallas Fort Worth and Teter and Newark, New Jersey and how and in one point Sean the real world Boston Duffy is caught on camera saying he would never want to fly into New York because it's just not safe. while he was the Secretary of Transportation. Do you remember in his first month of being in office, we're going back over a year now, when that plane and the helicopter collided over the PTOIC and that began a series of fatal car plane crashes and do you remember how people were concerned because it felt like maybe he wasn't up for the job, but the joke's on America.

[00:08:29]Do you also remember when Sean Duffy in December said that he wanted to push people to, as we're approaching the very busy travel season, decide to dress up and bring civility back to travel? Do you remember when the Trump administration under the leaders and with the leadership of Shawn the real world Boston Duffy the transportation secretary decided to cancel the rule that the Democrats had put into place when President Biden and Vice President Kla Harris and Secretary of Transportation Pete Buddhaj was in office? You remember that? And they had implemented that rule that said if your airline makes you late for longer than two hours, they would have to pay you.

[00:09:02]And if they had if it was a national flight, you get paid between $200 and $300 for those delays. And if it were an international flight, you would get paid between like up to $775 for flight delays if they lasted at least nine hours. And there were rules in place to make sure that when all the things that have been happening in transportation happened that we the consumer were not the ones that the jokes were being made about.

[00:09:24]And then Donald Trump and Secretary Sean the Real World Boston Duffy decided to cancel that rule. And so now all the delays that airlines have been exposed to, that we the transportation public have been exposed to, all the delays, all the crashes, we don't get nothing for that. We just got to eat the e to eat the e to eat the e to eat it.

[00:09:41]Remember that? Remember all that? And so when do you also remember how they also were doing pull-up competitions between Shawn the Real World Boston Duffy and RFK Jr.? The jokes are on the Americans.

[00:09:52]And then like a whole ass airline went bankrupt. Right. Right. Right. Right.

[00:09:54]Well, I have been wondering where the [ __ ] is Shawn Duffy? Where is this man?

[00:09:59]this watt man who's supposed to be the most qualified when it comes to transportation policy. Well, folks, the joke's on you. Because if you thought that that man was busy at work and maybe just wasn't making good decisions, maybe you thought that man was busy doing a whole lot of things and he just wasn't that good at his job. Honey, you'd be wrong. We can't even laugh at that.

[00:10:18]Sean, the Real World Boston Duffy has been returning to his real world roots.

[00:10:23]He's been out filming a reality TV show.

[00:10:25]I [ __ ] you not. Take a listen to this.

[00:10:28]the beginning part of this clip. We're not watching the whole thing. Take a listen to this clip where they describe what Sean the Real World Boston Duffy has been doing while planes been falling out the sky while while airlines have been getting taken over by inability to function and otherwise closing due to inability to pay for anything like jet fuel like the 32 million gallons of jet fuel that spilled into the the Maryland waterways. Let let's hear this clip because you should know the joke's on us.

[00:10:58]What a beautiful family.

[00:10:59]>> Hi guys. Can I say hi to Mr. President?

[00:11:01]Can I say hi to the President Trump?

[00:11:04]>> Taking a little trip.

[00:11:05]>> Yes. Yes.

[00:11:06]>> Little trip all over.

[00:11:07]>> So the motto is to love America is to see America.

[00:11:11]>> It's more than a road trip. It's a civic experience. It's one of the most powerful ways to understand the vast, beautiful, complicated place we call home.

[00:11:21]>> 1 2 3.

[00:11:23]>> Everybody looks forward to it.

[00:11:25]>> Yes. Yeah. You're not told to go by your parents. You're not sick. But we're going and you're going, but I don't want to go. Mom, >> seat belts on.

[00:11:32]>> Everybody wants to go, right?

[00:11:34]>> I think Mud's kind of mad.

[00:11:36]>> I'm not mad.

[00:11:37]>> We're not going to fight on this trip.

[00:11:38]Put your seat belts on.

[00:11:40]>> So, we're inviting you along with our family on the Great American Road Trip.

[00:11:45]Stop scrolling and hit the road mile by mile, window down, and hearts wide open.

[00:11:52]>> Welcome to Montana. The Duffies, they've got tons of kids. I think they have like 11 kids.

[00:11:56]>> Nine.

[00:11:57]>> Nine or 11? Some there. So, who is there a difference?

[00:12:02]>> We're encouraging everyone to go take a road trip to celebrate America's 250th birthday. We said we're going to do a road trip. I love it.

[00:12:10]>> It's fun. Family. They're going to hit all the high marks in the US.

[00:12:13]>> We're going to actually see it in person.

[00:12:15]>> They live in Boston for 6 months.

[00:12:17]>> How do you live in Boston? But you don't know any like fun things to do in Boston.

[00:12:21]To love America, you got to see America and meet her people.

[00:12:25]>> We appreciate you guys' service.

[00:12:27]>> Benjamin Franklin, >> my young friend. What an absolute pleasure. Before Kid Rock became Kid Rock, you're traveling over the country.

[00:12:33]Europe.

[00:12:34]>> Oh, yeah. Basically an Aerostar van. But I haven't seen everything there is to see.

[00:12:37]>> This bell arrives. They do a test ring on it and it cracks >> on the test ring.

[00:12:42]>> Yeah. Yeah. Imagine that, right?

[00:12:44]>> Refund.

[00:12:45]>> Yeah, exactly. Welcome back.

[00:12:47]>> Thank you so much.

[00:12:48]>> So fun.

[00:12:51]Just Americans having vacation.

[00:12:55]>> Just being Americans.

[00:12:58]>> Dad's real world house. If I never lived in this house, none of you would be here. Hey, we need a song. Like, you can't do a road trip without the song.

[00:13:05]>> There we go.

[00:13:12]>> That John Rich gave me sexy.

[00:13:16]>> Any input on where you guys want to go?

[00:13:17]from the >> Rocky Mountain.

[00:13:20]>> All right. Route 66 is classic.

[00:13:23]>> I know y'all thought I was joking. And frankly, if you're watching this after it's been recorded and you don't see the segment that I'm about to respond to, it's because of copyright gods got me.

[00:13:33]So, I may have to delete that part out.

[00:13:34]But I wanted you to see that Shawn the Real World Boston Duffy is basically living his bestest real world dreams while at the same time outlets like the Revolving Door Politics remind us that over the past seven months there have been three commercial airline crashes resulting in 11 deaths along with numerous near misses and deadly small plane crashes. Rather than addressing the ongoing deterioration of America's transportation infrastructure, Secretary of Transportation Sean, the Real World, Boston, Duffy, has been on vacation filming a reality TV show with his family, seemingly paid for by the companies he's supposed to be regulating. And did you notice the car that they had him in? For those of you who are watching this, you saw how it went from an old model car to an even older model car to a car that looks like it was coming around maybe like the 40s or 30s, 40s, maybe 50s. That is all nostalgia. The fact that they have this very large family and to know America is to see America. How the [ __ ] we supposed to see America, Rachel? Can't nobody afford no goddamn gas and we ain't getting the sponsorships that your husband is getting from the companies he's supposed to be regulating.

[00:14:40]Companies that are in charge of our transportation infrastructure that are now paying for y'all's family vacation.

[00:14:46]The joke is on America. The press release from Revolving Door Politics uh goes on to say the following quote.

[00:14:52]Despite sustained shortages of air traffic controllers, congressional Republicans leading a historic defunding of the TSA that grounded the nation's airports to a halt and numerous commercial airline crashes, Secretary of Transportation Shawn Duffy has decided to abandon his Senate confirmed role in favor of attempting to relive his glory days of being a reality TV star. That's according to Revolving Door Project executive director Jeff Howser. Now, what's interesting about this is that the American public is supposed to be told that this is okay because this is being paid for by corporations. The challenge, however, is just that when corporations are the ones paying, we the people suffer. Do you remember when corporations were paying those eight Democratic senators who decided to shut down the government shutdown because they wanted to come back together and bring Americans back even though ending the shutdown meant that millions of Americans were going to lose their healthcare? you know, names like John Federman, all the senators from Nevada, several senators from uh Tim Kaine.

[00:15:47]These were the sorts of senators that made those decisions because we then found out that the joke was really on Americans because the airline industry had been donating to the eight Democrats who did that to the tune of millions of dollars, had donated to them more than just about anybody else. This is a problem. We're heading into travel season. We don't have a transportation secretary who actually knows how to do his job. Not only are we heading into travel season with a transportation secretary who was out having a seven-monthl long vacation, but we're heading into travel season being told to get in a car, America, and go see the world when most of us can't afford gas.

[00:16:24]Can't afford gas. A lot of people celebrated Mother's Day right at home with Mima and Miami because you couldn't afford gas.

[00:16:33]This is laughable. The jokes's on American people. But that's not the only one laughing. not the only ones laughing. Kevin Hart and as I said to the Urban View audience, I don't often have time to talk about pop media, pop culture things, although I want to.

[00:16:47]There are many things that I have I have wanted to talk about. I told Urban View I wanted to talk about Mag Stallion and I really want to talk about Klay Thompson's [ __ ] ass, but I I didn't get a chance to do that. Didn't get a chance to do that because the news be news and I consider this show to be much more about news analysis and we get into uh you know the other sorts of things when it's necessary. But I got to be able to make a direct connection because I know there's going to be a ton of people who can talk to you about all the pop culture things, but they can't do what I do when it comes to news analysis. So, I figure like let them do that and unless it's necessary, I will also try to do it. But if it's not necessary and I can't make the connection to something broadly more important, then I I tend to avoid it. It just I have pages and pages of note and Naima Naima Amina will tell you I got hundreds of pages of show notes because I just put each day's new sets of show notes on top of the other day. And so I got hundreds and hundreds of pages of show notes. are so many stories that I have planned to talk about that I just don't get a chance to talk about and often pop culture tends to be one of the categories that often gets cut or left on the cutting room floor. I I want you all to know about a comedian. His name is Tony Hinchcliffe.

[00:17:45]I ain't know who this man was before he said the things that he said, but I want you all to take a listen to this clip.

[00:17:51]This is Tony Hinchcliffe at the roast of a black man, Kevin Hart. Now, I I don't have strong opinions about Kevin Hart's comedy. I know that his comedy is not ever one that's caused me to think even ever more expansively about politics or my positioning in the world. He's not like a Josh Johnson, you know what I mean? He's not like somebody like an Ali Sadique who's like not only really really intelligent, but able to make humor and and the intelligence and your ability to follow the story, make you feel like you discovered something like he's not one of them. But he's he's he's funny. He's funny as some would say. But when he got roasted and instead of allowing for, you know what, let me let Tony Hinchcliffe speak in his own words. Tony Hinchcliffe is a comedian who was at Kevin Hart's roast and proceeded to say some things that didn't make Kevin Hart the butt of the joke, but made black people the butt of the joke. Now, once you talk about black people, you can make Kevin HART THE BUTT OF THE JOKE. Once you talk about black people, you're squarely in my lane.

[00:18:46]Okay? I want you all to take a listen to Tony Hinchcliffe as he makes black communities laughable. Let's hear it.

[00:18:52]>> You know, Kevin, they told me not to mention your kids on this roast, but I must say, you did good. They've gotten so big they now buckle Kevin up in the car seat.

[00:19:03]It's true. He lost his gig hosting the Academy Awards because of some homophobic tweets, but you'd be homophobic, too, if you were eye level with everyone's [ __ ] He got into a fist fight on a private plane. proof that no matter how much money black people have, they're still just going to act like ninjas.

[00:19:21]>> Pause. Pause. Pause. Pause. Pause.

[00:19:23]Pause. Okay, we're going to pause it there. I didn't pause it here in the podcast, but I'm pausing it here. Um, you don't get to be nword adjacent when you're a whole ass racist. Not when they're cutting rights. Not when we just lost voting rights. Not when your kind is destroying integration in this country. We're going to talk a little bit more about some of the other things that you've done that make it crystal clear the last person who should be nword adjacent is someone like a Tony Hinchcliffe. But I want you all to pay attention because the entire time the camera's on him, we see Kevin yucking it up. GUMS AND TEETH. IT'S all we see.

[00:19:57]It's all we see as he makes or participates in the black community being the butt of the joke. Let's And the butt of the joke talking about how violent we are. the but of the joke talking about how even on a private plane we can't afford to act right because we that ignorant we that much of ninjas get back to the clip like Bill Cosby Hart is a black comedian from Philadelphia and like Bill Cosby women don't know when Kevin is inside of them you've done good though Kevin the black community is so proud of you right now George Floyd is looking up us at us all laughing so hard that he can't breathe God bless you, Kevin. God bless this room and God bless the United States of America. Thank you so much.

[00:20:47]>> Now, um, we got beef.

[00:20:52]It's is is beef because Tony Hinchcliffe is not a surprise racist, right? Tony Hinchcliffe is such a racist comedian.

[00:21:00]He appeared at the Donald Trump racist rally at Madison Square Garden. Remember we were talking about on this show? We talked about that that that rally extensively because it mirrored the type of rally that Adolf Hitler had held. Do you remember that? Right. And Tony Hinchcliffe appeared at that rally on a stage that had the words on it, Trump will fix it, where he compares Puerto Rico to an island of garbage. He made a lot of lewd jokes about Latinos. A black man who was kuna adjacent kunadescent.

[00:21:27]Kunagen black man stands up in that crowd to applaud him. And Hinchcliffe says something to the effect of the two of them had been at a Halloween party the night before carving watermelons together. He was so racist at Donald Trump's racist rally at Madison SQUARE GARDEN THAT DONALD TRUMP distanced himself. The campaign distanced himself from Tony Hinchcliff's entire set and gave a statement that said these jokes do not reflect the views of the President Trump or the campaign. And obviously we know they absolutely do reflect the views of President Trump and the campaign. We know that now. But Hinchcliffe is the same person who was joking about Kobe Bryant the day that Kobe Bryant died in a helicopter crash.

[00:22:04]He he is somebody who is is a frequent visitor on the Joe Rogan experience.

[00:22:08]He's a whole ass racist racist. He is frequently homophobic, frequently laughs about slavery.

[00:22:14]And he's somebody who in front of Kevin Hart decided to make George Floyd's lynching a joke. This bothered me. It bothered me greatly because we also and then in the podcast I have a clip of of of um what's that man's name who also pissed me off. Amina, >> not Pete Davidson, the black guy. Uh uh the one who did that bad hair document.

[00:22:37]Uh Chris Rock, THE ONE WHO got slapped by Will Smith. Chris Rock. Chris Rock did something similar when he was in a a a room with a bunch of other people. Uh a bunch of other comedians, three other comedians. One of them was Jerry Seinfeld. I don't know who the other ones were because they're they're white comedians and I I just I don't pay attention to comedy that doesn't necessarily center me in my community.

[00:22:55]But I want you to get a sense as to why this bothered me so much because it reminded me of this moment. Seeing Kevin Hart yucking it up, chucking and jing it up, kunostically doing what he did while Tony Hinchcliffe, a known racist comedian, takes George Floyd after already debasing black people and says what he said. But I was reminded of this moment with Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, and two other white comedians who I cannot remember the names of as they talk about joking and using the N-word.

[00:23:24]Let's hear it.

[00:23:26]>> This [ __ ] >> You're saying I'm >> Yes, you are the [ __ ] >> We're bleeping out the N word here, folks.

[00:23:36]>> Chris Rock in a room with all white men.

[00:23:38]>> I don't think he >> joking about the N word.

[00:23:41]>> I don't think he has those.

[00:23:42]>> There's only two. I mean, no, you don't even understand. You don't You don't really know him. Like, I've worked with him.

[00:23:48]>> No, like your video.

[00:23:49]>> I've worked with him. He's not that racist anywhere.

[00:23:51]>> No, exactly. These two these two >> on stage.

[00:23:55]>> You guys don't That's two difference between Yeah, that's right.

[00:24:01]>> That's right. We stage, but that's definitely a pairing.

[00:24:06]>> Who say we don't?

[00:24:08]>> Well, you just did.

[00:24:10]>> That's right. Yeah. You and me say private. No, >> these two guys.

[00:24:14]>> These two guys don't >> I don't believe he says it in private.

[00:24:18]>> I'm giving it up just cuz it's play.

[00:24:20]>> I don't believe it's I don't think you've ever said it probably. But you just gave them a >> That's a big huge difference between you and me, I think.

[00:24:27]>> Well, you you found the humor of it.

[00:24:29]>> Yeah.

[00:24:29]>> I haven't found it nor do I seek it.

[00:24:32]>> I mean, find a way. Find a way.

[00:24:36]>> Can I squeeze?

[00:24:37]>> You know what though? Jerry all of a sudden having a great It would be pretty amazing.

[00:24:41]>> Yeah, it would be amazing.

[00:24:42]>> Oh, it' be amazing because he retired it.

[00:24:45]>> Yeah, >> he retired it.

[00:24:46]>> No, he did.

[00:24:47]>> I'm 96. I'm I'm done with it.

[00:24:49]>> Yeah.

[00:24:52]>> Yeah. No, the joke ain't going to be on us. We We not going to let the joke be on us. Read the [ __ ] room, dog. Like, Kevin, what the [ __ ] were you doing? Regina King understood the assignment or Regina Hall, rather. she was there. Her face did not crack, not a smile. She looked like an agrieved black woman. And and we have a number of folks who have spoken out about this. But I just think it's very important in this day and age when the people who look like Tony Hinchcliffe have decided to take away voting rights, have decided to basically set up the Civil Rights Act to be destroyed, are are now clamoring for the 14th Amendment to be ended. YOU DON'T GET TO SIT IN ROOMS with them and make fun of us, dog. YOU DON'T GET TO DO THAT. THAT'S [ __ ] ASS. THAT'S WHAT THAT WOULD BE CALLED. WE would call that not funny. We would call that [ __ ] ass behavior. Now, Corey James FM is somebody that I've been follow watching on on threads said the following that I thought was so profound. Being black and being accountable to black communities are not the same thing. And Kevin Hart's career is the documented proof of the distinction. He has built his platform on black audiences and black cultural traditions while consistently failing to use that platform when defending black dignity required courage. Don't be a s not when black people's reputation. Be a s for you, but don't be a s about us because there were many many things that were off off limits for this rose. We have since learned that making jokes about the fact that you can't seem to be faithful to any of your wives, whether they're your height or taller, we that that was off limits. the fact your kids were off. There were several things that they said were off limits, but making fun about George Floyd's lynching was acceptable to you. Joking about black people being so uncou and unable to control our ninjasity was acceptable to you. while they're taking our rights. While black women's maternal death rate is skyrocketing.

[00:26:51]That was acceptable.

[00:26:54]Ain't no fun when we laughing at ourselves now, is it? Kendrick Lamar said, "Don't let no comedian talk about black women. That's law. It's black people. YOU DON'T YOU DON'T GET TO TALK ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE IN FRONT OF BLACK PEOPLE." And we laughing with you cuz then it ain't funny. The joke's on us.

[00:27:09]And Kevin, you ain't done enough for THE PEOPLE TO ALLOW FOR YOU TO GET A PASS to be excusing jokes like that on us. It's just Kia said on threads, minstal shows were never only about jokes. They were about turning black pain, black stereotypes, and black humiliation into entertainment while the people with the power controlled the stage, the narrative, and the profit. That's why the location of the roast matters. She says the following quote, "Holding that type of roast in Englewood, California was not culturally neutral. Englehood Englewood is a historically black neighborhood with real social and political weight behind it. So when comedians joke about George Floyd looking up from hell, looking up from hell. Looking up from hell, laughing so hard he couldn't breathe. Black audiences are obviously going to hear more than dark humor, especially when the comedian already had prior backlash for racial comedy before. She continues, "George Floyd was fair game. Black trauma was fair game. Suicide was fair game. They joked about another black woman's comedians, her husband, allegedly unaliviving himself or or dying by suicide. And she goes on to say, "But Kevin being uncomfortable in front of his wife crossed the line.

[00:28:12]That's selective humanity." Shout out to Regina, who was shown not cracking a smile.

[00:28:18]They're dismantling integration so that they can rebuild American apartheid. So that people like Tony Hinchcliffe can say everything they want to say and not hide behind the label comedian. George Floyd was lynched on camera for 9 minutes. police officer squeezed the life out of his body as he was gasping and crying out for air, crying out for his mother because he could not breathe.

[00:28:36]And that created such a crack in American psyche. There were protests and and those protests were were by the millions and they were sustained for months at a time. And the American business community and the philanthropic community pledged billions of dollars that they never gave to combat racism.

[00:28:50]and and white men got mad about all these protests and they joined groups like the Oathkeepers and the Proud Boys and the 3enters and MAGA and white women did the exact same thing and spread groups like Moms for Liberty, joining those groups and spreading Moms for Liberty groups. Groups both of which were were were sectors of this society that grew like cancers. Donald Trump ran on and is now implementing project 2025.

[00:29:10]He wins the election. black people, short people, non-white men people, all of which ARE CATEGORIES THAT HAVE KEVIN HART AS PART OF THE demographic have lost so many rights that we are on the precipice of American apartheid being back just like the KKK and lynchings from trees, not just from cops knees.

[00:29:27]And they were laughing in your face as you laughed with them. So I am no stand-up comedian. I'm not I would not dare to tell another expert an expert in another field how to do their job. But when you are comfortable making your entire wounded and battered community the butt of these white nationalist jokes, we get to stop laughing with you and we are going to have to start laughing at you the way we would laugh at anyone who would indulge in caucostic behaviors for the sake of a joke. We ain't going to be the butt of them jokes because the jokes's going to be on you once we get enough cultural authority to say you can't sit with us no more. You can't be here no more. We didn't even get a chance to talk about the jokes on Africa. You guys will have to listen to the podcast episode for that. There's a whole conversation right now happening with France and Africa and and you'll get a chance to hear the the cat d the cat Williams and the Pete Davidson clips in the podcast as well. I didn't get I just don't have time to play it right now. But in the continent of Africa, we are also experiencing another round of jokes. You got Emanuel Macron, the president of France, going to Kenya, Eastern Africa, because he's been kicked out of the Sahel. He's been he's been kicked out of the former franophhone nations. he being the representative of France and he's gone now to Nairobi into Kenya talking about how he is a true pan-Africanist because he is basically attempting to reinsert French's dominance over different parts of of the of the African colonies or damn of the African continent. That was a Freudian slip that meant something. And so now France has gone into Kenya and Kenya apparently is a willful participant. They're talking about the fact that that they want a renewed relationship with Africa and it is all a joke because it's new labels on the exact same neocclonial structure. Uh Farida Bemba Nabarma who's a citizen of Togo said yesterday or said quote two years ago Macron the president of France presented a plan to his own parliament explicitly identifying angophone and lucifone frank African countries as France's new strategic frontier the next territory to be brought into the orbit of French influence now that franophhone Africa has had the dignity to show it to the door. So the other people who had been initially colonized by the French said, "You got to get the [ __ ] out. Take your systems with you. We're Africa for Africans. We're going to do this on our own. We don't want your systems. You're an exploitative body." And so because France can't do nothing without African resources. Because like Israel that's known for diamonds and ain't got no diamond mines, France is known for a whole lot of [ __ ] that it don't have but for its ability to rape, steal, and plunder from the continent of Africa.

[00:31:52]And now we have, as she continues, to our angophone and lucifone brothers and sisters across the continent.

[00:31:58]Congratulations on your new status as France's new strategic frontier. That status gave our countries the top seven out of top 10 places of the most poor places in the continent of Africa. I said that incorrectly, but I think y'all can get the point. My point is this.

[00:32:11]Stop letting people laugh in your face.

[00:32:13]Stop letting people laugh in our faces and treat us in ways that are utterly disrespectful and contemptable and then thinking they still going to be able to come sit with us. Sit over there. Go sit with Tony Hinchcliffe. go sit in that space of minstrecy and debauchery because that apparently you're okay with that. And if you're okay with exposing us to that sort of harm and not speaking out against it, then we're okay with you staying over there. This is why I don't do pop culture. It's too hard for me to not take it personal. Heading to commercial break on the other side.
