[00:00:01]They're black in Puerto Rican.

[00:00:02]>> All right. So, that's even different.

[00:00:04]But see, that's different, though. And I'm going tell you why. Cuz Puerto Ricans are just like, well, Puerto Ricans damn like black people on the East Coast. I don't know if they're just [ __ ] who can swim.

[00:00:12]>> Yeah. I mean, West Coast.

[00:00:13]>> But I understand. But Puerto Ricans is Puerto Ricans.

[00:00:16]>> Yeah. Yeah. True. I agree. Like, >> you know what I'm saying? Like, when we grew up on the East Coast, we was all cool with Puerto Ricans. So, what I'm saying is, so you so you wouldn't have a problem with your kid hanging out with other Puerto Ricans?

[00:00:29]There's not a lot of Puerto Ricans.

[00:00:30]>> No, no, but that's not the question.

[00:00:31]That's not the question, though. You wouldn't have a problem with your kids hanging out with a bunch of Puerto Ricans, right?

[00:00:38]>> Uh, true.

[00:00:39]>> Because Yeah, because it's also like Louis saying, I agree on that part. It's nationality based.

[00:00:44]>> Yeah, but we're talking about white people like >> Well, but what but but but if you had babies by a Latino and Latino people consider themselves lean leaning more towards the white race, especially in California.

[00:00:55]>> We all do, >> right? Okay. I just I was just trying to be I was just trying to be kind. Then what would would the conversation be different?

[00:01:01]>> Yeah, absolutely. It would be.

[00:01:02]>> Exactly. Yep.

[00:01:03]>> Especially on the West Coast, >> especially on the West Coast between, you know, the black and the So, if my kids were Mexican, it would be a different conversation because they might not be accepted by Mexicans. Being black and Puerto Rican, Puerto Rican is already of African descent. Puerto Ricans is just, you know what I mean?

[00:01:21]Like, they got African in their culture and everything in their blood. So that's the same thing. It's really no difference right there. They basically just black.

[00:01:29]>> Is she from California or is she from the East Coast?

[00:01:32]>> No, she's from the East Coast. She's from New York, >> bro. Come on, dog. I'm calling it. I mean, I could call it.

[00:01:38]>> Yeah, but we not talking about Puerto Ricans. You >> No, no, I know that. But what I'm saying though, No, I'm I'm I'm agreeing with you. I'm not What I'm saying is your wife is from Puerto Rico. I mean, I'm sorry. Your wife is from New York. You know this the vibe of New York. You know that on the east coast, new especially in New York, they all get along.

[00:01:55]>> All right. Hey, listen. Thank you very much.

[00:01:57]>> But there, man. Yeah. Y'all can finish this on Facebook.

[00:02:00]>> Listen up. Uh guys, I'm Louis Dicks.

[00:02:03]>> I'm Danny Green that Vegas ter >> and what's the name of the show?

[00:02:06]>> In a man's world. Tighten up your belt.

[00:02:08]>> Now, I don't know if we dropped you guys and you're in, but if you we're just coming back and we're just reconnecting.

[00:02:12]We were discussing um the Noah Wales uh situation and about how u uh Teter was saying that different uh information is coming out and we were basically talking about my feelings were the fact that uh you have to educate your your young black kids.

[00:02:29]>> Well, let's be what it started from. Pus asked a question. Do we think that we jump to conclusion that everything is racially motivated?

[00:02:36]>> I said yes.

[00:02:37]>> I said yes and Dannon said no. And >> no, no, no. I I do agree. We do. I said we shouldn't, but we do jump to conclusions.

[00:02:44]>> And I think we need a green. Yeah.

[00:02:46]>> I think we need to because the fact of my my belief that simple fact that if you hanging out with all those white boys, you got to have a strong black friend that rolls with you. Come on now.

[00:02:55]>> You got to have somebody that looks like you, thinks like you, has the same antenna as you know how to deal with things. And it's it's more difficult for them to jump to than one.

[00:03:04]>> You know what's weird?

[00:03:06]I'm actually the opposite as I get older though. Well, when I got older, when I was young, I didn't see, you know, like I've been, hey, you know, I'm hanging with these white people. Cool. But when I got older, like in my early early 20s and started working in these type of jobs or corporate jobs, >> I always said that's when they change.

[00:03:25]>> Because if you went to college, like a white girl go to college and bang brothers the whole first three years, then her end of her junior year, she go find that white dude to date cuz that's the dude she going to marry. You know, you know that part. So, >> is that racially motivated?

[00:03:39]>> Yeah. But what I'm saying is I never saw that as as when they're younger I'm seeing kids play together but when it right but when they get into corporate American stuff that's when they start making those side decision like nah I understand you're cool but it's like you know when you see them Delle's kids but we sticking with what's you know what I'm saying what to go with. So yeah is that racially motivated?

[00:03:57]>> I would say yes.

[00:03:58]>> Okay. So why isn't the fact of when we see something happen with a guy like Nolan Wells, rest in power, and that he hung out with four white boys and then he dies that we're it's we're jumping to a conclusion if we think race is not involved. Okay. But in terms of the question and now what you're asking, I'm saying just think what I said. I said as young kids, you're seeing kids play together >> and so no one has to no one almost it's like this. No one has to take a side yet. you're playing.

[00:04:27]>> But you got to take a side just like when you go to jail. That's just that's about the best example I can give you.

[00:04:34]You can be any nationality. You could be cool with you, whatever. But when you go in behind them bars, you got to pick a side. So it's the same thing with corporate America.

[00:04:41]>> Yeah. But my point is this right here. I know.

[00:04:44]>> My point in this situation right here when you're saying that we're jumping to conclusion and we shouldn't >> I said we can't we shouldn't always because I just don't believe it's always that at that age. But I'm thinking >> but at that's my point. You're saying at 18 >> because they were all friends and they was it doesn't matter. I know it doesn't matter. He was just playing the advocate.

[00:05:03]>> Right. Yeah. But Right. And I'm saying the devil.

[00:05:05]>> Right. So you thinking 18year-old boys are innocent and can't look at things racially that they can't look at this Nolan and say they can't dislike him or have feelings negative about him.

[00:05:18]>> I I'm not saying that by no. No. No. I No. I'm never going to say that. No. I can say that they definitely can have that. But I'm saying that I believe when you get to a certain point in your life, you do take sides. You do decide >> and you don't think 17 16 17 18 they're not taking.

[00:05:34]>> Well, the reason I'm I will say this, it can happen. But the reason I didn't feel that is because outside of what the report of what Teterto said these kids were kids that grew up together and they they were friends for a long period of time. It's not like they were friends Lou for like the first like this is a six-month friendship. They've known each other. The two parents went to school together.

[00:05:55]>> Okay, so I got a video.

[00:05:57]>> Okay, >> thank you, P. Jesus.

[00:06:00]>> Boo. Um, I just had a thought.

[00:06:05]One of the reasons white people hate black people is because we cannot tolerate black joy. We cannot tolerate black intelligence. We cannot tolerate black beauty. We cannot tolerate black confidence. We cannot tolerate black camaraderie.

[00:06:32]We cannot tolerate anything that frees a black person.

[00:06:45]There's a level of racism that I think hits differently for black people than it does for Asian people or Hispanic people or Middle Eastern people or Native Americans even.

[00:07:08]>> It's about six minutes, but that's the gist of it. And that was my point as far as about the DNA and how it it trinkles down because everything that totally >> all the things that she was mentioning >> was Barack Obama >> and and and his wife >> about them having excellence, their joy, their beauty, their intelligence, uh all that stuff, their freedom, how free he was, knowing how intelligent he was, having a lovely family. To me, they hated all of that. I feel they feel like that with not just Barack though I mean we as a people that's what she's saying I don't >> but I'm saying at the highest level you start seeing that it was seething it was coming out they couldn't take it >> when he was elected they went with it but >> that was the first four years >> yeah they were just like yeah they look at it with all of us but then they know certain things that okay you're not cuz if you that video kept going she was talking about how they'll tolerate doctors police officers >> entertainment >> entertainment and they they'll tolerate them until something goes wrong. Then they'll say, "See, that's how they are."

[00:08:12]But just regular people like, "Okay, even you, they'll look at you like, okay, he's successful and how did he get in Ohio State? It was DEI. It was, you know, it was something as opposed to your hard work."

[00:08:26]>> And that's the funny thing you say because I've experienced all that. Like I think I mean you you're not supposed to know in the chat room where people ain't supposed to know my whole life but I had that happen. I had a white boy Henry I remember his name.

[00:08:41]>> He was in the same computer graphics program at Mary Crest College with me when I applied to Ohio State. He said you won't get in.

[00:08:47]>> He said you're not going to get in there. Ohio State was number one in the world at the time. I said I I didn't say oh I'm going to get in. He just he said in the way man you ain't going to get in there. I said I get in there. He said I bet you. I said what you want to bet. If you get in, I'll take you to go dinner anywhere you want to go.

[00:09:01]>> Mhm.

[00:09:02]>> And when I came running to him with that letter.

[00:09:06]>> Yeah.

[00:09:06]>> You know what I mean? And >> you get your dinner.

[00:09:11]>> Oh yeah. And I you know I I ain't know no better. I took I went to Red Lobster.

[00:09:14]>> Hilarious. [laughter] >> I I didn't know to go get the T-bone steak, you know.

[00:09:19]>> Wait, how old was he?

[00:09:20]>> We were what? We graduated. So we were He was a sophomore. I was a senior. So I was probably 20 21 and he was >> How long have y'all known each other?

[00:09:29]Had y'all known each other >> about two years cuz you know we we went to college together.

[00:09:33]>> Okay. So two years. Was it What motivated him do you think to say that you wouldn't get in?

[00:09:37]>> Cuz I probably because Well, two things.

[00:09:39]>> You were a [ __ ] >> Well, I would say because I'm black and because and because Ohio State was very difficult to get in.

[00:09:46]>> Okay.

[00:09:47]>> And I will say this when I got in cuz I was the first African-American accepted into their program. Dr. Lan, God rest his soul, white man. When I went up to visit Ohio State, he said, "Look, cuz I had the art background. My portfolio was animate." You know what I mean? From Scott, I had I probably came in with more graphics than anybody.

[00:10:07]>> Yeah.

[00:10:07]>> And he said, "You you have the portfolio to get in." He said, "Your grades are low."

[00:10:13]>> Yeah.

[00:10:13]>> Why are your grades low?

[00:10:15]>> I said, "I'm playing basketball and I'm putting myself through college." Let him know I don't have nobody, no parents, none of that. He told me, >> "You can't get in with these grades." It wasn't going to be no, we'll make exception. I went back.

[00:10:27]>> That was during December. I went back that December. I quit the team >> and I pulled a 3.3 grad point average the last year and a half.

[00:10:35]>> You see what I'm saying? And I got in.

[00:10:37]Oh, hold on.

[00:10:39]Okay. I'm just saying. See, now I'm trying to get some information because I'm just saying you quit the cheerleading team. We got it. Okay. Go ahead. Go ahead.

[00:10:48]>> But I'm just saying yes to your point, Lou, it probably was because I was black. Okay.

[00:10:55]>> T sports ticket right here. World Cup finals. It's going down.

[00:11:00]>> Argentina.

[00:11:00]>> Argentina versus who? Danny.

[00:11:02]>> Spain.

[00:11:03]>> Who you got, Dannon?

[00:11:05]>> I kind of want Spain, but I think Argentina is going to win it.

[00:11:07]>> It's hard to fight against Argentina back, man.

[00:11:10]>> Now, who's their player? Messi.

[00:11:12]>> Messi.

[00:11:12]>> Is he the goat?

[00:11:14]>> No.

[00:11:14]>> No. That >> Ple is always going to be the goat to me.

[00:11:16]>> Three time winner of the World Cup. Ple is going to be my goat.

[00:11:21]>> Okay. But I hate the fact that uh Egypt blew it. They had Argentina down. They should have won that game.

[00:11:28]>> Yeah.

[00:11:30]Uh Kar blew it as well.

[00:11:34]Uh >> America, >> England, I don't know. They just >> England was tough, >> but then they took the foot off the gas and they just >> cuz they tried to coast in with it and it backfired.

[00:11:43]>> Yeah.

[00:11:44]>> Let me ask you a question on that. Why are the English players who are Europeans so good in soccer, but we in America can't get our Europeans or our young black kids or whatever to be just as good? What is it? What is it with the European squad? Cuz you know over there, England is always puts in a tough team >> because they have they have a minor league system. So they'll take them at 10, 11, okay, and 12 >> and that's what they'll focus on. Yeah.

[00:12:11]I don't know if that was you that told me or someone was telling me that our best athletes, >> their best athletes are playing soccer.

[00:12:18]>> Yeah.

[00:12:19]>> Our best athletes are playing something else. Yeah.

[00:12:22]>> So, imagine if LeBron, Jordan, and all of them played soccer.

[00:12:27]>> Yeah.

[00:12:28]>> That'd be a whole different level.

[00:12:29]>> Well, that's the same thing that's happening in boxing. That's why we don't have any uh heavyweights because back in the day, our our big guys, anybody was big would probably go to either basketball, football, or boxing. And a lot of times it would be boxers, but we don't have that now. Now everybody wants to play basketball and really not even football >> because the money's changed.

[00:12:46]>> The money's changed and it's deep.

[00:12:47]>> You know, the money's changed. So everybody's trying to not think of the quicker way to get to the top. But this is all I got is boxing. I got these hands. I'm already going to jail for so I might as well go to get in the ring.

[00:13:00]And >> Okay.

[00:13:01]>> That's like when Ali fought Ron Ly.

[00:13:04]>> Mhm.

[00:13:04]>> Ron L came out the pin.

[00:13:06]>> Yep. After nine years. the nine years >> and was banging them >> and giving Ali hell but them last two round Ali turned it on let him know this is why I'm the greatest yeah that's a great watch that fight Ali Ryan L that was a great and we got third place will be France versus England would be the third place >> I'm going go with England >> France was actually favored on >> that's the point I'm I'm confused France was favored against Argentina >> I mean no Argentina from Spain.

[00:13:38]>> Spain. They were they were a favorite.

[00:13:40]Um so yeah, that will be uh July 19th uh 12.

[00:13:44]>> Winning team gets 50 mil.

[00:13:46]>> 50 mil. Yeah, I broke down that um breakdown of the um league um FIFA league. People say it's rigged and all that, but I mean what you going to do if they're paying out $871 million, you know, for the whole program for >> That's big. That's big big money.

[00:14:04]>> Hey, we got football coming up. You guys excited? Yeah, I'm I'm ready, man.

[00:14:07]>> What you think, Lou?

[00:14:08]>> Eagles. Let's see what happens.

[00:14:10]>> See what happens. Steelers. Yeah. Let's see what happens.

[00:14:12]>> Did you hear the news about uh Lamar Jackson?

[00:14:14]>> Talk to me.

[00:14:15]>> They got They haven't ranked the 69th best player in the league.

[00:14:18]>> Uh 100 top players in the NFL. What do you think about that?

[00:14:22]>> I think he going to come out and have to put some work in this year. Now, you think they made him that low so he can >> No, I think there I think Lamar, and I hate to say this because I love him, but I think his one his window is closing. He had he he should have three rings. They had three unbelievable years over the last eight that he's been lead that they should have won and lost in the championship game.

[00:14:46]>> Mhm.

[00:14:46]>> Kansas City. I mean, they remember the year they >> He ran out of gas on that one.

[00:14:50]>> Yeah. But then but then with the year before when they fumbled the ball twice in the end zone >> then last year oh boy drops the ball against Buffalo.

[00:15:00]>> Yeah.

[00:15:01]>> You know cuz I think they would have been able to beat uh uh the American squad last year. Who was the it was they would have played um who won it last year?

[00:15:09]>> I don't remember.

[00:15:10]>> Denver went to the >> No, Denver. Their quarterback got hurt.

[00:15:14]>> Yeah. Got the Vegas team. So, I think uh um I think um Lamar just he's he's I don't know, man. He's they I just think Baltimore chokes, man. They get they >> I think it was the coaching cuz the year you got Derek Henry, y'all was supposed to run that.

[00:15:30]>> That's the year they supposed to win.

[00:15:32]>> That was the year >> that's what they got him for.

[00:15:34]>> Yeah. And then you don't run it in the playoffs with this.

[00:15:37]>> They didn't run him at all. Yeah. So, what do you think now? What? Let me ask you. I guess >> they fired on say along along that line then. Do you think with the new coach they have a different system and possibly can be better?

[00:15:50]>> Better be it better be conducive to what they have in that back field. It's got to be conducive to that to run the ball.

[00:15:56]I mean you got a quarterback that can stay in the pocket. He can throw. He can run. You got the complete quarterback.

[00:16:01]>> So Mahome does he is he going to come because you know he got injured so he's he can't come. He I don't know how healthy he is but it's going to be less than a year. Do you think he's back?

[00:16:10]>> Did they renew renew his contract?

[00:16:11]>> Oh they had to. And what are you getting now?

[00:16:14]>> I don't know. But they gave him another, you know, he had the biggest contract at one time. It was like 500 million for for uh 10 years.

[00:16:20]>> Yeah.

[00:16:21]>> That [ __ ] >> that [ __ ] was big for about a month and a half.

[00:16:26]>> Lou, >> you ready to move on?

[00:16:28]>> Yes.
