[00:11:59]>> Mhm.

[00:12:00]>> And we was shout out to Ida B. Wells, man.

[00:12:03]>> Yeah. one of the more prominent if not pioneers of investigative journalist journalism in America.

[00:12:10]>> But also when we think about the fact that um these tech billionaires and and and and corporate billionaires are buying up all of our uh public press outlets, corporate press outlets >> to skew narratives. And you know, we're on NBC News right now, >> okay? Because the DOJ officially told the GO DOJ official official told GOP ally that big payouts were coming for the January 6 defendants.

[00:12:44]>> So no reparations for slavery, >> reparations for slave owners, >> no reparations for descendants of slaves, but reparations for insurrectionist >> months before the 1.8 a billion anti-weaponization fund was announced. Ed Martin predicted capital riers would get millions even if it took until 2028. So in in in any other point of history in America, this would be considered treason.

[00:13:13]>> For sure.

[00:13:14]>> And it was treason.

[00:13:15]>> It was treason. a uh an attempt at a coup on the American government initiated by the sitting president is now going to be rewarded with a $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund that is going to come from guess who?

[00:13:35]>> Hey guess guess who's footing the bill?

[00:13:38]>> You know who >> guess who's foot guess who's footing it.

[00:13:43]used to cost me $40 to fill up my G my my Kia Sportage.

[00:13:48]>> Now it takes $65. Guess who's footing the bill.

[00:13:54]>> Ain't it ain't it fun? Ain't it great to be American?

[00:13:57]>> Hey.

[00:13:58]>> Huh?

[00:13:58]>> God bless it.

[00:13:59]>> God, you know. God bless it. Making it great again.

[00:14:02]>> Yeah, man.

[00:14:03]>> Um, quick question. You know, you know, I having this thought. Just having this thought. anytime that black people start stating our case for reparations, which is which is not only a substantial case, but a valid case >> for reparations here in America, seeing as that the people that were put in Japanese internment camps received reparations. Uh the people that went through the Holocaust received reparations. And even upon the abolishment of slavery, the slave owners received reparations. Reparations for the loss of property. Black people have had no repair for 250 years of child slavery here in America. And then when we do have this conversation, a conversation that should honestly only include black voices and the white government officials that will oversee this. Because at the time of this horrific tragedy, this centuries long centuries centuries long tragedy that was happening to the black black people here in America, black Americans, those were the two people involved. Black Americans, white Americans. Okay, cool. Asians and Hispanics be on white people dick too much for me because I've seen Asian people come out in protest of black people getting reparations. Has nothing to do with them. I've seen Hispanic people come out in protest of black people getting reparations and it has nothing to do with you.

[00:15:39]Now, I've also seen the latter or the whatever. I've also seen on the opposite end of the scale some some people of color in agreeance that black people in America should receive respirations. Right. Claude Anderson, Dr. Claude Anderson formulated the FBA, >> okay, >> to establish a group here in America of people that descended from slavery for the purpose of receiving reparation >> and that spiral into whatever it spiral to because you know the CIA and everyone seems to fear a black e economic stronghold or black economic power because everyone knows we don't really need them.

[00:16:33]So they tirelessly try to keep us dependent on them and they do this systemically and they do this through a brainwashing of sorts. So, by always giving other minorities or people of color somebody to look down on, well, if black people get repaired for what's been done to us, and I and I would make an argument that at this point, not only reparations for slavery, but reparations for Jim Crow and reparations for the crack epidemic.

[00:17:09]Everybody seems to have an issue with a black e economic independence and and I'll say this because they understand the game. They understand that if black people start ascending economically, well, we won't be at the bottom of the totem pole and one of y'all [ __ ] will.

[00:17:29]That's the only way this thing works.

[00:17:31]That's the only way this system works.

[00:17:32]It has to have somebody at the bottom.

[00:17:34]Mhm.

[00:17:36]has to have somebody to punch down on.

[00:17:38]You [ __ ] come over here and y'all get real fluid in the punch down game.

[00:17:43]And and and and and for whatever reason, we always seem to be the victims. We ain't did [ __ ] to none of y'all.

[00:17:50]White people oppress you as well and white people oppress themselves. Yet all the fallout seems to come on black people. NOW, BLACK people have a history of economic independence in this country.

[00:18:09]We don't have a history of that economic independence not being interrupted. It's always interrupted.

[00:18:15]And uh there was a post where this guy was uh he was trying to make this point about family uh how wealth is passed down generationally through family. He was, you know, street interviewer interviewing these white dudes, asking them how they came into money. And all of them named their father, their grandfather or great-grandfather. All of them were benefactors of generational wealth.

[00:18:41]>> Right. And all the people that he um interviewed were white.

[00:18:48]>> Mhm.

[00:18:49]>> And so he was like, "See, this is how it's done. Not through materials, not through uh individualism. Man, he he was he was getting close.

[00:18:59]>> He was getting close.

[00:19:00]>> Okay.

[00:19:01]>> But the issue here is that that framework lacks context. One of the dudes was a descendant of the Church Hill Group. Do you know how they made their money?

[00:19:12]>> Let's let's let's go back and look at how the Church Hill Group made their money. Let's look it up.

[00:19:16]>> Now, the Church Hill family's wealth in America is primarily rooted in the Gilded Age. The most notable connection came from the dollar princess phenomenon where wealthy American ayes married into British nobility. Winston's Churchill's mother was a New York socialite and one of his ancestors secured his family's estate using the Vanderbuilt fortune.

[00:19:40]Now, do we know?

[00:19:44]>> You see where I'm going?

[00:19:45]>> Yeah. If if we going to leave by the context that these [ __ ] made their money in slavery >> and often times in reconstruction which during reconstruction we have Jim Crow South.

[00:19:57]>> Yeah.

[00:19:58]>> And not to mention the s the secret enslavement of black people that was going on in the rural South then then we lose the context because none of these people had their wealth interrupted. Mm-m.

[00:20:14]>> So when we want to talk about the framework of white people and how they pass their wealth down through generations, this is uninterrupted.

[00:20:25]And these ain't no clean bills of sale.

[00:20:30]>> Huh? There's a little blood in that lineage.

[00:20:32]>> A lot of blood.

[00:20:33]>> A lot of blood. Um, and and and I think the thing is this, whoever made that post, I I you know, he argue with me. You sound goofy and you make it seem like um, you know, the the family structure is only reserved for white people. You know, that's not what I'm saying, [ __ ] Yeah.

[00:20:53]>> You know, that's not what I'm saying.

[00:20:54]And then I I concluded, >> this [ __ ] must be selling the course.

[00:20:59]>> Must be selling a course on wealth and how to build generational wealth. Yeah, >> and he just want to make it seem cut and dry. [ __ ] it ain't that cut and dry >> because we've had our wealth interrupted several times. Let's let's talk about the history of black economic independence in this country. Um, let's start with watermelon farming.

[00:21:19]>> Hey, >> the the racist history, how the watermelon stereotype came to be weaponized against black Americans. For centuries, black Americans have had to endure painful stereotypes, watermelon stereotypes, and that hasn't changed in recent years. Oh, man. Why are all these websites you got to like Why you go Why you got to buy the news now? Hold on.

[00:21:42]Let's go somewhere else. Let's go somewhere where where we ain't got a goddamn Like, bro, that [ __ ] is annoying, bro. Like, >> I'm just trying to I'm just trying to do the knowledge.

[00:21:51]>> Yeah. Yeah. They want you to pay for the knowledge.

[00:21:52]>> You want to pay for the knowledge? Yeah.

[00:21:53]Then you you want to subscribe. Just drop the the newspaper off at my doorstep.

[00:22:00]Throw that [ __ ] >> Throw that ball. Hey, throw that [ __ ] >> All right. Since the earliest days of plantation slavery, the caricature of dark skin of the dark-kinned black child, his two red lips stretch stretched to grotesque extremes as they opened to chomp down on watermelon was a staple of the racism diet. Over time, Wellerman came to be a symbol of broader denigration of black people. It became part of an image perpetuated by white culture bent upon bolstering the myth of superiority by depicting the inferior race as lazy simple-minded pickinis interested only in such mindless pleasures as a slice of sweet watermelon. Like all racial and ethnic stereotypes, this one's destructive properties have through the decades stretch far beyond mere insult. It's helped to poison self-esteem, pushing some people to avoid anything that seemed too black, lest they be lumped into the company of Uncle Remis, ain't Jamaima, or some other relative of racism. Watermelon's connection to black economic wealth is deeply rooted in the post civil war reconstruction era.

[00:23:11]Following emancipation, many formerly enslaved African-Americans used their agricultural skills to grow and sell watermelon as a cash crop because the fruit was cheap to cultivate, required little land, and could be sold directly to consumers. It provided a vital avenue for black economic independence, self-sufficiency, and generational wealth. The early agricultural prosperity, however, sparked swift retaliation from white supremacists. As black farmers and merchants began to build financial freedom, a deliberate propaganda campaign was launched to devalue and demean this success. The transformation of a cash crop became an economic threat. Independent black farmers and vendors selling watermelons directly to consumers threatened the traditional economic hierarchy of the Jim Crow South. Therefore, turning to a racist trope to dismantle the growing independence, white society created and popularized racist caricatures and propaganda through newspaper, cartoons, and advertisements. The watermelon was weaponized to portray black people as lazy, messy, and childish, suggesting they were inherently unfit for freedom and self-governance. The psychological impact of this systemic shaming was successful and marginalized black watermelon merchants and turned a symbol of financial freedom into a powerful racial insult. M >> so everybody for as long as you can remember has always been threatened by black economic independence. Something as simple as us taking our agricultural skills >> generating a cash crop right >> and then building what that the wealth that generational wealth.

[00:25:03]>> Yeah.

[00:25:06]>> No blood >> just watermelon. Now, I I find it very funny that these exslaved people with this with this tremendous work ethic were able to create generational wealth and then be characterized as lazy, messy, and childish.

[00:25:22]>> Damn.

[00:25:25]>> Say [ __ ] been lazy ever since we stopped working for free. M >> um let's let's let's go let's go let's let's go take a little let's take let's take a trip down down down down deep to the south to Miami and let's talk about Overtown Miami.

[00:25:39]>> Okay.

[00:25:40]>> Historic Overtown formerly known as Colored Town.

[00:25:44]>> Color Town.

[00:25:44]>> To put it on you, don't it?

[00:25:47]>> This back when we kept about being called color >> colored town.

[00:25:50]>> Colored folks. The whole town color.

[00:25:52]>> Just colored. Uh, historic Overtown, formerly known as Colored Town, is one of Miami's oldest neighborhoods and served as the epicenter of black wealth in the American South during the early to mid 20th century. Often dubbed as the Harlem of the South or Miami's Black Wall Street, the area is deeply rooted in black entrepreneurship, arts, and self-made prosperity. The rise of black wealth can be traced back to DA Dorsy. Dana Albert Dorsy was Miami's first black millionaire and one of the most prominent real estate magnets in the south. He amassed significant land parcels in Overtown and briefly owned the land now known as Fiser Island.

[00:26:39]His former residence has been restored and serves as a museum operated by the Black Archives History and Research Foundation.

[00:26:47]A thriving economy forced to operate locally due to segregation. Overtown became a self-sustaining ecosystem. It was home to blackowned banks such as the Negro Savings Banks, hotels, pharmacies, medical offices, and more. The entertainment mecca because black entertainers performing in Miami Beach were barred from staying in the hotels where they worked. Overtown flourished as a premier hospitality center. Celebrities like Billy Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nat King Cole frequented the neighborhood, staying at establishment establishments like the Dorsy Hotel and visiting affluent hubs like Geette's T-room. They also had transportation systems and uh theaters.

[00:27:38]It was like, you know, like the the old overtown things just like the the lights.

[00:27:43]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The lights in the big theater in the middle of town.

[00:27:46]>> Yeah.

[00:27:46]>> F urban displacement. Oh, >> there it is.

[00:27:50]>> Oh, >> there it is.

[00:27:54]>> The fear of black economic independence always interrupted highway highway construction. The construction of Interstate 95 and urban renewal projects in the 1960s cut directly through Overtown. This government sanctioned displacement uprooted tens of thousands of residents and resulted in the dis demolition of historic businesses and properties. Economic repercussions. The breaking up of this dense community stripped re residents of generational wealth causing the neighborhood to fall into decades of deep poverty and neglect.

[00:28:35]>> Well, godamn. There you have it. Again, seems like the only way they knew how to build these interstates was to build them directly through our neighborhoods.

[00:28:49]>> So, when this young man wants to talk about the family structure and passing down generational wealth, but you leave out these contexts and make it seem like [ __ ] don't know how to build on their own, THIS IS THE THING. EVERYBODY knows we don't need them.

[00:29:03]They need us.

[00:29:05]They need us for civil rights. They need our energy.

[00:29:10]That the entertainment don't hit the same. The fashion ain't talking about [ __ ] The the entire structure of America can be traced back to the genius of black people.

[00:29:24]The reconstruction era was dependent on ex-ins enslaved people for their skills and then disenfranchise formerly enslaved people because they had these skills. M >> so when then we go do it on our own and then then we're punished for it then we're made caricaturures of we're made to be demeaned and disenfranchised or you know we'll just take 95 and put it right through your neighborhood and displace tens of thousands of people and destroy historic businesses and properties. Let's take a trip back up 95 to Wilmington, North Carolina, my hometown.

[00:30:04]>> Hey, let's do it. In 1890s, Wilmington, North Carolina, was boasted as one of the most successful black communities in America. Black citizens made up majority of the population, owned homes, ran successful businesses, controlled blackowned banks and newspaper, and held prominent civic and political offices.

[00:30:26]The demographics in the 1890s was over 56% of women's population being black and black womenonians worked as professionals including doctors, teachers and lawyers. They were highly skilled artisians, brickmasons, blacksmiths and comp and carpenters.

[00:30:47]Wealthier black citizens and independent business owner chartered their own banks.

[00:30:53]uh for example the Metropolitan Trust Company and successfully pulled resources to build and invest in their neighborhoods. They had civic power where African-Americans held positions across local government including alderman, policemen, magistrates and postmasters.

[00:31:14]And here comes the coup. M >> this is United this is the United States of America's first coup dah the same thing these [ __ ] are being about to be paid reparations for >> the 198 the 1898 Wington massacre and coup the economic and political success of black the black community was perceived as a threat by white supremacists on November 10th 1898 armed white insurgents violently overthrew the legitimately elected local government. They massacred black residents, burnt down prosperous black businesses, forced black leaders into exile, and the event remains the only successful coup deta in American history.

[00:32:00]>> The Shell Island Resort was despite the destruction of 1898, black entrepreneurs in Wilmington continued to build generational wealth in the early 20th century. In 1923, a group of black investors formed the Shell Island Beach Development Company.

[00:32:19]They created a highly successful luxury coastal resort for African-Americans.

[00:32:24]The resort featured summer cottages and attracted thousands of visitor visitors across the eastern US before it was burned down >> under suspicious circumstances.

[00:32:36]Under suspicious circumstances after three years, I know it was suspicious.

[00:32:44]>> I bet it was suspicious.

[00:32:46]>> Oh, it couldn't have had nothing to do with that successful coup.

[00:32:48]>> Yeah.

[00:32:50]>> Listen, man. The the the thing is this is always very funny to me.

[00:32:56]>> Mhm.

[00:32:57]>> The capitalists will claim that the system of capitalism breeds competition.

[00:33:05]>> The capitalists favor the free market until the market is not in their favor.

[00:33:12]When the market is our in our favor and the when the market becomes in our favor now all of a sudden it ain't the free market. This ain't capitalism. This ain't the way it's done.

[00:33:21]>> THEY LIKE THE IDEA OF competition until they cannot compete.

[00:33:26]>> The black economic prosperity has always been interrupted and we will continue to build black prosperity regardless of the interruption because that's just what's in us.

[00:33:40]Y'all spend a lot more energy trying to tear tear us down than to build your own selves up because you ain't got the skills. And you got an epigenetics of centuries of guilt, of racism, of a lack of education, and a lack of skills. And you fear black economic empowerment because we know what to do without y'all, but y'all don't know what to do without us.

[00:34:07]Now, let's take a trip.

[00:34:11]far east.

[00:34:12]>> Okay.

[00:34:13]>> And let's talk about the free market of capitalism and let's talk about the EV car market of China.

[00:34:21]>> Hey, the US has effectively blocked the sale and import of Chinese electric vehicles through strict tariffs and connectivity regulations. Lawmakers are actively urging the government to maintain and even expand these blockades to prot to protect the domestic auto industry and prevent national security vulnerabilities. Now, I want y'all to pay attention to this.

[00:34:50]Expand these blockades to protect the domestic auto industry. You can't compete.

[00:34:55]>> You cannot >> You can't compete. Have you seen these cars?

[00:34:58]>> Yeah.

[00:34:58]>> Oh. Oh. Oh my god.

[00:35:01]>> Like a [ __ ] spaceship, man.

[00:35:02]>> Like a spaceship.

[00:35:03]>> Like a spaceship, man.

[00:35:04]>> Got the gold BBS [ __ ] [ __ ] man. Let me TELL Y'ALL SOMETHING ELSE.

[00:35:08]NOT ONLY ARE THEY better designed, not only are they more efficient, they are extremely more affordable.

[00:35:16]>> I mean, leaps and bounds more affordable.

[00:35:21]If Americans made these cars, they'd be trying to charge a quart million dollars for them.

[00:35:25]>> China make them 30,000. Oo, >> they got them for the 30.

[00:35:30]>> For the 30 ball.

[00:35:31]>> 30 bar.

[00:35:33]>> Now, here are the key aspects of the restrictions on these Chinese vehicles.

[00:35:37]High tariffs. Oh, of course.

[00:35:39]>> Yeah. Yeah.

[00:35:39]>> Oh, of course.

[00:35:40]>> Trying to make them impossible to import.

[00:35:42]>> It's probably more expensive to import it than it is to actually buy the car.

[00:35:46]>> Yeah.

[00:35:47]>> The US imposes a steep 100% tariff on all Chinese imports. So, for a $30,000 car, you will be paying60,000 for it to come to America.

[00:35:57]very very you know now which was once affordable is no longer affordable.

[00:36:01]>> Yeah.

[00:36:03]>> Um on all Chinese imports making it fiscally unfeasible for automakers like BYD to sell their vehicles in the American market in the American market key word at competitive prices.

[00:36:21]Now, capitalists will claim that the system of capitalis capitalism breeds competition >> until they can't compete.

[00:36:35]Connected vehicle regulations, sweeping regulations finalized by the Biden administration prohibits vehicles containing Chinese or Russian link software in their connectivity and automated driving systems from being imported or sold in the US. software rest sold imported or sold in the US software restrictions take effect in the model year 2027 with hardware restrictions following in the year 2030.

[00:37:05]Now they always talk about the security national security concerns bans are heavily driven by cyber security and espionage fears. Lawmakers are concerned that the internet connected vehicles from China could collect sensitive data on American owners and be remotely controlled to cause disruption. Now, that is a legitimate concern, >> but China is interested in getting money.

[00:37:31]>> Yeah.

[00:37:32]>> Because here's the thing. Y'all said the same thing about Tik Tok.

[00:37:35]>> Here's the thing I know about Tik Tok.

[00:37:37]Ever since y'all bought it, all I get is ads.

[00:37:40]And I get the same gambling ads.

[00:37:44]Gambling ads. Gambling ads, dating ads, gambling ads, dating ads. If y'all could sell alcohol on that [ __ ] I'm sure y'all would.

[00:37:56]>> It's all about gambling.

[00:37:58]>> Only Only thing they want you worried about is losing your money and [ __ ] >> That's it.

[00:38:03]>> And that's and that's really what comes with the issue, is it? Cuz before China, no gambling ads, no dating ads.

[00:38:10]You had your Tik Tok girlies that would try to, you know, solicit they only fans, but I wasn't seeing it.

[00:38:15]>> Yeah.

[00:38:16]>> You had to be a real freak boy. You know what I'm saying? Freaked out.

[00:38:20]>> Yeah. Yeah. Young Gooner.

[00:38:22]Young Goonar.

[00:38:23]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:38:24]>> Now again, they like the competition. The capitalists always talk about you get somebody like uh what's that [ __ ] name?

[00:38:32]Uh Ben. Uh white dude. White dude looks like a rat.

[00:38:36]>> I have no idea who that is.

[00:38:39]white dude like a red. It's crazy.

[00:38:42]>> Ben Shapiro, >> you get Ben Shapiro like, "Well, we need capitalism for the free market. The free market is in favor of capitalism. It breeds competition. Wherever we can breathe competition is better for the American people." Okay. Okay. Yeah. Ben Shapiro say [ __ ] like that. The free market, the free market is a byproduct of capitalism. We need a free market.

[00:39:00]Everyone can win and operate in the free market. Now, y'all love a free market until the market is not in your favor.

[00:39:07]Cuz when the market's in our favor, all of a sudden now we got to build a highway through this. Or all of a sudden now our business is burning down under suspicious circumstances. All of a sudden when y'all can't compete in the EV market, and I'm sure this has a lot to do with Elon Musk >> and those Nazi mobiles not selling and not being able to compete with the Chinese model.

[00:39:33]Now, it's not a security. It's not a It's not a It's not a national security measure when this [ __ ] who descends from apartheid South African and is not American.

[00:39:43]>> Mhm.

[00:39:45]>> The greatest deadbeat dad turn of the century.

[00:39:51]>> It's not a national security when he's funding a fascist government.

[00:39:55]>> Mhm.

[00:39:56]>> It's not a national security issue when he's the same immigrant that y'all deploy ICE against, but he's white.

[00:40:03]No national security issues for this [ __ ] who doesn't have the best interest of America in his mind at all. He couldn't give a [ __ ] about the American people. He bought Twitter just so y'all could get [ __ ] off.

[00:40:16]>> They said the rate of the use of the nword went up like 500% soon as he bought it. That's not a national security measure.

[00:40:24]>> It's not that's not a breach of national security.

[00:40:27]Y'all don't care if Elon got the got the uh data.

[00:40:32]don't care if Jeff Bezos got the data, but Jeff Bezos is, you know, a Lex Luthther type villain.

[00:40:38]>> Yeah.

[00:48:32]transportation of victims, medical attention. Hey, >> you can thank you can thank the speedy medical attention. You can thank blacks for that.

[00:48:42]>> Huh?

[00:48:49]>> Yeah, >> we can go all over America.

[00:48:54]>> But they know that they depend on us. So they tirelessly try to keep us dependent on their system and they do these things methodically and systemically because everybody seems to fear black economic power because everybody knows that we do not need them.

[00:49:19]Goddamn.

[00:49:21]We'll be right back this commercial break. Look, we've all got that appointment we've been putting off.

[00:49:26]Maybe it's the dentist. Maybe it's your annual checkup. Maybe something's been feeling a little off and instead of making that appointment, you've been on Google, Tik Tok, and WebMD diagnosing yourself with about 12 different things.

[00:49:37]And listen, I get it. Life gets busy.

[00:49:40]But taking care of yourself cannot keep being the thing that gets pushed to the bottom of the list. That's why I love Zach Do. Zach Do is a free app and website that helps you find and book high quality in-et network doctors so you can find someone you love. We're talking about booking in network appointments with more than 150,000 providers across all 50 states. Whether you're looking for dermatology, dentistry, primary care, eye care, or one of the other 200 plus specialties offered on Zach Do, you can easily search by specialty or symptom to build the care team that's right for you. You want to see your doctor in person?

[00:50:16]Great. You prefer a video visit, you can do that, too. You can view thousands of verified patient reviews to give you a real sense of who your doctor is. Maybe they hate small talk just as much as you, or they root for the same sports team. Whatever it is, you can feel confident that you could book with a doctor you know you'll love. And when you're ready, you can see their real time availability and click to book instantly. No phone tag, no waiting around. Appointments made through ZDOC happen fast, typically within just 24 to 72 hours of booking. You can even score same day appointments. I use this and I think you should too. Stop putting off those doctor's appointment and go to zdock.comgritz to find and instantly book a doctor you love today. That's z d occ.com/grits.

[00:51:09]You know what's wild? The older you get, the more you realize your parents and grandparents are carrying entire worlds of stories that we barely know anything about. Like there are probably so many moments from my dad's life I've never even thought to ask about. What he was like at 25, what scared him? What kind of dreams did he have before becoming a father? And sometimes dads especially don't just sit down and volunteer these stories. You got to pull it out of them a little bit. And that's why I really like story worth. Most Father's Day gifts end up in a drawer somewhere.

[00:51:40]StoryWorth doesn't. It gives your dad a year-long experience and gives your family a book full of stories he probably never think to tell on his own.

[00:51:48]Each week, StoryWorth sends him a question about his life, and he can respond however he wants. Writing back over email or web, voice recording, and now they even have guided phone calls.

[00:51:59]So, there's no apps, no text stress, none of that. And I like that you can personalize it, too. You can choose from pre-written questions, write your own questions, or let Storyworth create personalized prompts based on his life and experiences. Then after a year, they compile everything, his words, his photos, his stories into a beautiful hardcover book your family gets to keep forever. Honestly, I think the best part is reading stories you never knew existed. Like hearing your dad describe something in his own words and realizing, "Wow, I never knew that about you." That kind of stuff becomes priceless over time. Families have already used Story Worth to create over a million books, and more than 50,000 five-star reviewers agree this becomes something your family will treasure. And this year, they also launched the unlimited plan where you can buy once and give Story Worth memories to friends and family all year long. Plus, it comes with some of their newest features and multiple full color book copies. I use StoryWorth and you should, too. This year, give dad a gift that captures who he really is before the stories get harder to remember. Father's Day is Sunday, June 21st. Order right now and save up to $20 at storyworth.com/grits.

And I just wanted to get on here and pop my [ __ ] a little bit. Um, and also I want to know how could I help my community with what I have now, you know, because I have the knowledge of course data science and statistics, right? But how could I give back to the community with that? I'm currently going to pursue my master's degree and I start this fall.

[00:59:40]Man I am so tired of seeing this relationship [ __ ] on on on online.

[00:59:48]That [ __ ] is so [ __ ] corny and dumb to me. I'm tired of people talking about it. If I see one more [ __ ] ass.

[00:59:59]Oh well, you know he have a iPad.

[01:00:05]He don't [ __ ] I can't see. That's why I got iPad.

[01:00:09]I mean, we worried about the wrong [ __ ] bro. These folks out here taking our rights. They not they they not hiring black women with with multiple degrees.

[01:00:21]children. They children getting [ __ ] up, shot, all this other [ __ ] And we we worried about the wrong [ __ ] bro. That [ __ ] is so [ __ ] corny to me. Why is we worried about Most of y'all don't need to be in a relationship anyway.

[01:00:40]Y'all need to be in therapy.

[01:00:43]It's just so crazy to me. But anyway, appreciate the show always.

[01:00:50]Shout out to you boys. Watch everything that y'all guys do. Y'all have a great day.

[01:00:56]>> Well, brother, you pretty much summed it up.

[01:00:58]>> I mean, you said it.

[01:00:59]>> I mean, you said you said it all, baby.

[01:01:01]>> You said it, man. Um, here's the thing.

[01:01:06]Um, never mistake never mistake what's viral in our community for what's uh popular in our community. Mhm. Mhm.

[01:01:16]>> Um I believe that our messing drama is going to do numbers every time. Whereas our critical thought, our black thought, our political thought, our progressive thought will roughly sit in the shadows on social media. It's the thing they fear, man. They won't push what they fear. They don't push the fear. I don't know how the [ __ ] Hey, man. You know this [ __ ] between me and God.

[01:01:42]>> I don't know how the [ __ ] I'm cutting through. I just we just did a million views uh criticizing [ __ ] about the AP.

[01:01:49]>> Yeah.

[01:01:50]>> Anybody else would have did that, that [ __ ] would have went blank face.

[01:01:53]>> [ __ ] would have got no views. So, um you know, maybe it's just that we built it up like we really depending on the people and the algorithm just, you know, the algorithm can't do nothing with it.

[01:02:05]Uh we're grateful to be in our position, but never confuse what's viral for what's popular. All of us are tired of that [ __ ] >> for sure.

[01:02:14]>> And if you and if you keep it real, a lot of those people seem like bots, man. A lot of those don't seem like real people. They don't seem like genuine people. They seem like they seem like bots, man. So, you know, don't get discouraged. I'm glad you I'm glad you got that off your chest.

[01:02:30]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

[01:02:31]>> Uh, you know, [ __ ] don't need to be Some [ __ ] don't need to be in relationship. Some [ __ ] do need therapy.

[01:02:36]>> Yeah. Um, but the people that are in relationships or pursuing relationships or happy in their relationships, I promise you they not online talking about it.

[01:02:43]>> No, I ain't talking about it. They living their life.

[01:02:45]>> They living.

[01:02:46]>> Yeah.

[01:02:47]>> Hey, Deon. Hey, Big Cat. Big big fan of the show. I've been rocking with you since you started posting your rants on TikTok and talking your [ __ ] and I seen you know what you was talking about. I'm calling in because I'm having a little trouble navigating how to instill I guess you would want to call it like black pride within the children of my family and just black history. So my nieces are growing up in a very like white area and my 9-year-old niece brought up like racism to me and like some of the conversations that were being had at school, but she didn't really like fully grasp the concept of like what it was. And I kind of struggled with what to tell her. I guess for like lack of better words, I would like for her to be, you know, somewhat politically correct about, you know, the knowledge of our people. Like I just don't want her getting to school saying all types of crazy [ __ ] and like getting herself in trouble while she's this young and like to mess her perception up, you know, so early of like what what it really is. Um, I've taken like her older sister and cousins to like the a African-American museums and stuff like that and and have had conversations with them, but I feel like she's still just like a little too young to process everything. And I also just gave birth to my first child, a perfect, beautiful little boy. And it's like I get so stressed out just thinking about the conversations that like I need to have with him when he's older. And I guess like I just want your opinion on how to navigate this. And I can't wait for you guys come to DC so I can come to a show. Bye.

[01:04:37]>> All right. Well, look, man. Check this out. We will be in DC.

[01:04:42]>> Yeah.

[01:04:42]>> Love DC. Um, man, look.

[01:04:46]The reality is this.

[01:04:50]You either have the conversations with them at home or you let the world introduce them to these conversations.

[01:04:57]>> So, as difficult as it is, we have to learn how to have difficult conversations. As uncomfortable as it is as it is, we have to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. M >> this is not this this society hasn't hasn't made any any effort at all to make things comfortable for us ever.

[01:05:17]>> So the conversations won't be comfortable and the timing the timing you know you'll know when the time is right. Um there's a lot of there's a lot of media and propaganda out here still to in instill you know white supremacist ideals onto your children. um you know antilackness on to your children, lack of you know issues with self-esteem you know these things these things are still prevalent. So um there is no political way there is no politically correct way to approach being proud of your blackness or to call out white supremacy because being black is political.

[01:06:01]So, it's always going to be politically incorrect and it's never going to be the right time, but it's always the right time. It's always the right time. Um, I took my children to African-American museums. I've taken them to mult multitude of museums. Um, me and Diana actually just went to the Amy Cheryl uh American Sublime exhibit. Um, art art is is is is a radical approach to our reality.

[01:06:30]Um, but history, history is just the cold hard truth of this [ __ ] And these kids need to know their history and they need to be able to assert themselves in public with pride. Um, you know, I understand them. understand you not wanting your children to get in in trouble in school. But if school and the education system is an extension of America and America's foundation is white supremacy, then the education system is an extension of white supremacy and that's the last place you need to worry about them getting in trouble at.

[01:07:06]They're gonna, if your child is bright, your child is intelligent, they're gonna s they're going to surpass the average student anyway because the standard for education in America is very low. And as we see more teachers leaving the education system, the standard is going to get even lower. So $1.8 billion to insurrectionists, but all of a sudden, but we can't ever pay teachers a living wage. This is all systemic. So, it's going to start to matter less and less where they get in trouble at school or not. So, just congratulations on you, baby.

[01:07:43]>> You know, we got another beautiful black baby in the world.

[01:07:46]>> Yeah, man.

[01:07:46]>> Another beautiful black life in the world.

[01:07:48]>> But there is no protecting the the children from America. America doesn't seek uh the protection or the safety of black people. So, um, God speed, you know, you when the time is right, you'll know.

[01:08:06]>> Mhm.

[01:08:06]>> Um, but don't wait too long because the world might have that conversation with your child before you get an opportunity to. All right, let's get somebody to email and then we get the [ __ ] on, man.

[01:08:19]All right. L & D inquirly learning and development inquiry. Uh, help is here.

[01:08:26]>> Okay.

[01:08:26]>> Hi, Deontay and Big Cup cat. I was listening to episode 147, reaching out in regards to the burntout teacher that's trying to break into the L &D space.

[01:08:35]I recently graduated with my masters in instructional design and have been an instructor trainer facilitator for the last 15 years in different industries. I would love to alter my hopes in regard to launching my fellow cousins career.

[01:09:45]She said, "Hey, Deontay." Shout out to Big Ice Cup Cat. Love y'all. I'm single.

[01:09:50]38-year-old woman located in Chattanooga, Tennessee. I have two sons, ages 17 and 20. Send them your video videos and reals all the time. From your advice, my 17-year-old has started his welding career at his school. We have a future ready centers here. And my 20-year-old is a new father of two daughters who has also picked up interest in the welding field.

[01:10:11]>> Hey, good trade. Good trade.

[01:10:14]>> Good trade. Good trade. Good trades, >> man. Who doing this [ __ ] like us, man?

[01:10:19]>> Some proper. Some proper.

[01:10:20]>> Who doing it like us, son?

[01:10:21]>> Nobody, son.

[01:10:22]>> Huh?

[01:10:22]>> Nobody, son.

[01:10:23]>> WHO DOING IT LIKE US? YEAH, MAN.

[01:10:32]WHAT?

[01:10:34]I'm just in my head. Rich [ __ ] with a mouth full of gold. Rich Gucci man, bro.

[01:10:42]Y'all not listen your [ __ ] favorite podcast could never cuz they don't give a [ __ ] >> They can't do it. They can't release a vinyl cuz they ain't talking about [ __ ] >> Nothing.

[01:10:55]>> We f to release another one.

[01:10:57]>> Hey, >> I'm currently dealing with struggles of feeling undervalued. Now that my boys are fully independent, I was certified.

[01:11:04]Oh, feeling undervalued now that her boys are fully independent. I was certified in HR back in December. I earned my associates degree back in 2018. As you know, black women are the most educated in the country, but are currently the most unemployed due to all the [ __ ] going on with this administration. Yes, I do know that I'm still employed for now and we're facing our second round of layoffs. I would be lying if I said I wasn't scared of losing my job. I've been in the workforce since I was 16 and I've never been unemployed. My advice is how do I find my value in myself without looking for it through working. I love writing, currently working on my first book, but the fear of being unemployed overpowers my drive to lock in and get it done.

[01:11:45]Please keep going. Don't ever stop talking. Tell Big Ice Cup he is a lunatic for asking you if your ancestors clash.

[01:11:54]>> I had to know.

[01:11:55]>> I mean, you know, you know, I'm sure they're clashing right now.

[01:12:01]Listen, man. The value through labor is all that America has ever valued us for.

[01:12:07]Entertainment, >> labor. They don't like your mind.

[01:12:11]They wish they could do something with your body.

[01:12:14]>> Um, I would suggest Substack. Just start writing. You you you don't need a reason to write. It doesn't have to be for an ending girl. And if you get good enough and you get popular enough on there, you can monetize. You can make your little chicken on the side. You have every reason to be nervous about being unemployed because this is an ongoing trend of unemploying black women because they fear our economic independence. and black women have been leading the charge for economic independence in the black community.

[01:12:50]Period.

[01:12:52]>> You have to dive into your skill. You have to dive into your passion. You cannot rely on this society. Uh we'll wake up one day and all of this will be over.

[01:13:04]Either through destruction or through divine intervention. M >> either way we [ __ ] >> All right. Um, you got this though, sis.

[01:13:19]>> Yeah, you got it, >> man. Man, you just right. Just right.

[01:13:22]>> Yeah, >> you're right.

[01:13:22]>> And she said she was certified at HVAC, right?

[01:13:24]>> No, HR.

[01:13:25]>> Oh, HR. They say certified HVAC. I was like, damn. She getting to it.

[01:13:29]>> She certified HVAC. She wouldn't be worried about she getting to it, ain't she?

[01:13:32]>> She going to be all right.

[01:13:33]>> Yeah, she >> And shout out to your sons, man. Shout out to the Grizz [ __ ] podcast for putting the young [ __ ] on. Yeah. Yeah, man. Good welding. Good trades.

[01:13:40]>> It's time to have another trade conversation here soon. I can feel it.

[01:13:43]>> Yeah.

[01:13:43]>> Um, it's summer time.

[01:13:45]>> It is summer time.

[01:13:47]>> It's the perfect time.

[01:13:48]>> Mhm.

[01:13:49]>> A lot of young [ __ ] just graduated.

[01:13:51]They don't know what they doing and they don't know what to do >> as electricians.

[01:13:54]>> And we going to get them on.

[01:13:55]>> We going to get them there.

[01:13:56]>> We going to get them on.

[01:13:57]>> Yeah.

[01:13:58]>> Um, hi Deontay. Big ice cup cat. Love the pod. Let me get straight to it.

[01:14:03]purchased my town home 5 years ago in a brand new community managed by an HOA.

[01:14:08]>> Oh my god, those [ __ ] >> The HOA the haters of all.

[01:14:16]>> Yeah, for sure.

[01:14:22]>> Sad, sad, sad.

[01:14:25]>> I've unfortunately dealt with some job insecurity over the short time I've lived here, but I'm a hustler thankfully. Kept my head above order.

[01:14:32]2023.

[01:14:33]I did fall behind on HOA dues. The property management sent my account to collections. I've been working with that collection agency ever since making payments trying to resolve the issue. At the top of 2025, I was working three jobs. Used the extra income to pay them in full. The rep at the time said I owed 3,000 to settle up. I paid it all at once between my checks, my tax return.

[01:14:54]Thought I was good. Month later, lost my job, but I had some money saved. Was able to maintain most of the year. I secured a job last September and to my surprise shortly after that in November I received a notice from a collection a agency that I placed a lean on my home for about $1,200.

[01:15:13]Called them and tried to resolve it, but I was still catching up on bills. At the top of this year, I paid them 1,200 plus fees and interest. And I thought and then what I thought was the 1,600 in annual dues that would have been due in 2026.

[01:15:29]Again, I thought I was clear, but before my check reached them, it has spiked another 2500.

[01:15:36]I sent de I've sent the land demand letters via certified mail for clarity request for them to release the lean since the original balance. Reference on the lean was paid, but they have not responded. Everyone says get a lawyer, but out of the 10 I've tken to spoken to over the past several weeks, they all seem to be working with the property managers. None are interested in advocating for homeowners. The last attorney I talked to me spoke to told me flatly, "Why would anybody agree to take your 3,000 to resolve this when they can foreclose on you and take 200,000 in property?" That was harsh, but sadly confirmed to me what I've been trying not to accept. They want my home. The house is for my daughter. I've been saving for my daughter's future since I was six months pregnant. The equity in the home is hers to start her life unburdened by financial restrictions.

[01:16:24]and I'll never let these people rob her of that. I know you all are not attorneys, but you are compassionate and you do have reach. It's my hope that one of the cousins know or an attorney or has resources they can share. It's not even about the money. Clearly, if they wanted money, I'd feel confident to take out a small loan and pay the balance, but I tried that before. Tell Please tell anybody who you think might help.

[01:16:47]All right. Well, cousins-in-law, >> holl at me. Let's Let's let let's make sure this lady saved her home. Yeah.

[01:16:58]>> These crackers trying to take our sister home.

[01:17:00]>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Can't let that happen.

[01:17:01]>> If you are a lawyer, uh, and and I don't know what specific law it would be.

[01:17:07]>> Would it be property law? I don't know.

[01:17:08]>> Pro. Probably.

[01:17:09]>> I I would assume so.

[01:17:10]>> Probably. If you know or you are and you can't help, please reach out to me via email and I would say de directly email me deontay deontay.com so we can get this result. I'm going to keep this tab open so we ain't got to worry about nothing.

[01:24:19]Matter of fact, that got me thinking back when Mr. Love was tending to his garden, schooling me to annuity before he grabbed his clubs to go golfing. And it's no coincidence that still had the caddy back when Woods was still the best. Don't let me roll off course.

[01:25:09]>> Cuz I was simultaneously relaying it through reason and rhyme that I sought for us. Dissecting systems responsible for our imprisonment. The visionary with a stigmatism and scoring.
