But he's an all-around athlete, a periodic athlete. 35 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:26,080 In 2008, earned a bronze from England. Great story to tell. 36 00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:33,360 But today folks, I want to talk about the true story about what it's like to be actually a real disabled person 37 00:03:33,360 --> 00:03:39,360 that doesn't get all that glory, doesn't get all the respect, doesn't get that much of anything 38 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:44,800 besides bullshit by his friends. Now I'm going to go on a little rant. 39 00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:52,880 So I have to start out with, you have to understand that if you have a child who's going to be disabled 40 00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:58,560 and regardless of you are a Christian, Jew, Muslim, or just a good person, or you have a conscience, 41 00:03:58,560 --> 00:04:05,920 or a good conscience, bad conscience, you think that you have to have a child regardless of its able or disabled body. 42 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:14,000 However, a lot of people have a disabled child and they will reap the benefits of disability from their child 43 00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:19,040 for the rest of their life until they can't take care of that child no more until they're in their 40s or 50s. 44 00:04:19,040 --> 00:04:26,240 That happens a lot, by the way. So by the time you're in their 60s, the parents are in their 60s, 45 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:35,600 when they can't take care of the child, when they're too old, the child would be almost a soul to the state. 46 00:04:35,600 --> 00:04:43,840 So the state has to purchase a child who's disabled and the parents of that child has to write 47 00:04:43,840 --> 00:04:48,880 or sign a paper that they're consenting that the state owns that child. 48 00:04:48,880 --> 00:04:56,320 And by doing that, that parent no longer has to be responsible for that child's well-being. 49 00:04:56,320 --> 00:05:03,760 So be, so as much as we know. So if you're thinking about having a disabled child, 50 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:11,680 think twice or at least three times because you're going to be in a lot of heat of trouble when you're in your 60s or 70s 51 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:18,080 and you don't have the body or the energy or the strength or anything to take care of a disabled child. 52 00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:26,560 So saying that, however, I am a person with some form of able body, I'm able to think, read, write, 53 00:05:26,560 --> 00:05:34,880 conscious mind, state of mind, political, scientifically, educational or uneducational, 54 00:05:34,880 --> 00:05:39,760 thoughts, ideas, opinions, that's basically who I am. 55 00:05:39,760 --> 00:05:44,800 And so I created this podcast for all the people out there who are disabled. 56 00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:51,200 I didn't really make this out for able-bodied people because able-bodied people, if you have two hands, 57 00:05:51,200 --> 00:05:59,040 two legs, two sets of anything and your right and left hemisphere of your brain works just fine 58 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:05,520 and you don't have a job and you're lazy, you can go fuck yourself because you're a fucking asshole 59 00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:10,080 for anybody that has to pay for your taxes, that has to do anything for you, 60 00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:17,920 and for us people who are paying taxes for your bullshit. So I'm going to leave it at that. 61 00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:26,080 But you understand where I'm coming from, okay? So here I am, I got friends, I don't have friends, 62 00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:31,280 I have acquaintances. Most disabled people don't have friends, they have acquaintances. 63 00:06:31,840 --> 00:06:39,280 Some disabled people think that they're friends of somebody, but most people who are able-bodied 64 00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:49,280 people feel a conscience to have to include somebody that they kind of know who is disabled 65 00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:58,080 to include them in a golf tournament, a golf league, a bowling league, anything else like that. 66 00:06:58,080 --> 00:07:08,080 And the reality is this, that because of George Bush, passed the law in the 90s that disabled 67 00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:15,440 people have the right to work and have the right to claim some unemployment or some form of 68 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:22,480 workforce and protect us from being unemployed or homeless or whatever it's called, 69 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:30,320 that George W. Bush or I think it's George H. Bush signed in the 80s or 90s. I think it was 70 00:07:30,320 --> 00:07:43,200 90s because it was after the Reagan administration. So most people who have friends, most people who 71 00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:48,400 are disabled don't have friends, they have acquaintances. Everyone smiles, everyone's friendly, 72 00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:57,600 everyone's like, hey look at my friend John, he's disabled. Oh so cute, so lovely. But the person 73 00:07:57,600 --> 00:08:03,040 who's taking the picture or the person John who's taking the picture with all those able-bodied people 74 00:08:03,040 --> 00:08:09,680 don't realize that those people are not actually their friends, they're just being nice to him 75 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:19,360 to make him feel good about himself. And soon later he catches on the idea that those people 76 00:08:19,360 --> 00:08:26,160 are not actually his friends, just acquaintances. And how I know this for a fact is this, if you're 77 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:31,840 a disabled person and you're taking pictures of somebody or a group of people who are 20 or 30 78 00:08:31,840 --> 00:08:40,640 years younger than you, that you have no social or common denominator of interest, they're not your 79 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:48,640 friends, they're your acquaintances. So if I were to take a picture of some kids who are in high 80 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:58,240 school or college, and let's say I worked at a school as a janitor and I took pictures with all 81 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:03,680 these kids who are in high school, and those kids in high school would have to take a picture with 82 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:11,520 me because I'm disabled, they, those kids are not my friends, they're just people that feel that they 83 00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:17,120 have to take a picture with that person. And that's what's happening to a lot of people that know 84 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:24,560 who are disabled that I know of as today. So remember, disabled people don't have friends, 85 00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:32,880 we have acquaintances. And a lot of times people with disability will reach out to people 86 00:09:34,480 --> 00:09:41,600 in places and settings and environments that are not appropriate to make friends with. So I use 87 00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:52,080 myself as an example. I live downtown, I work on the weekends, every other weekend, and either, 88 00:09:52,080 --> 00:09:58,560 even if it's Cinco de Mayo day or it's a Sunday and I feel like, you know what, I didn't have a 89 00:09:58,560 --> 00:10:05,120 drink on Saturday, I didn't have a drink on Friday, I stayed at home, and Sunday I'm gonna go out. 90 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:14,000 And I was supposed to meet a friend of mine on that day, Sunday, after work to talk about politics 91 00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:22,720 and stuff like that. He didn't respond, so I'm like, you know what, no big deal. Because I'm used to 92 00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:28,800 this bullshit. So a lot of times people who are disabled, you either become really depressed and 93 00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:35,440 think about it, or you just accept it for what it is because you understand that people don't need 94 00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:44,640 to be nice to you because you're disabled. So I go out, I check this bar out at Brick and Porter, 95 00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:52,960 nice bar, nice food, nice restaurant. I just ordered a beer and I happen to sit next to a couple 96 00:10:53,680 --> 00:10:59,920 from Flint who are going to see a band from Detroit, Flint area, 97 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:05,200 at the Vando. And I make friends with him, I talk to him about the Tigers, about the concert, 98 00:11:05,200 --> 00:11:12,240 the show and all this. And his wife is sitting next to us and I'm making conversation with them. 99 00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:22,880 And it's sad that I have to go downtown, or any downtown, just to have a conversation with people, 100 00:11:22,880 --> 00:11:36,800 normal people just have a conservative, talkative conversation with just irregular folks. 101 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:42,000 And a lot of people don't think that's a big deal because a lot of people will have their wife and 102 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:46,160 their girlfriend, their girlfriend says, hey, guess what, we're going out to dinner with Tommy 103 00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:51,440 and Suzy, and we're going to see a show and we're going to have a drink and we're going to have a 104 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:58,000 party, we're going to see a play and we're going to be at, at the whiskey lounge or we're going to 105 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:05,520 meet at Brick and Porter or we're going to meet at Dublin Hall on Ionia 106 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,840 and we're going to get together and we're going to talk about the show 107 00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:13,200 and we're going to get together and talk to these people and have friends. 108 00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:16,720 That's how people make friends – people make friends by other people, 109 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:25,200 their girlfriend and their boyfriend or their wife or their husband and they make an outing 110 00:12:25,200 --> 00:12:29,800 and go out with each other and then meet at a certain place and talk about the show that 111 00:12:29,800 --> 00:12:33,640 they're going to see or the band or the family members, whatever. 112 00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,360 That's what happens. 113 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,440 Disabled people don't have that. 114 00:12:38,440 --> 00:12:40,080 We have to find friends. 115 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:41,560 We have to search for people. 116 00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:51,920 We have to create conversations with complete strangers and a lot of times I know my place. 117 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:55,920 So if you're a disabled person, I wouldn't go to a hole in a wall bar because a hole 118 00:12:55,920 --> 00:13:01,880 in a wall bar you're going to have the regulars who are going to be kind of bullshit, moody 119 00:13:01,880 --> 00:13:03,800 and all this stuff. 120 00:13:03,800 --> 00:13:10,920 But if you are a disabled person trying to find or talk to people, you go to social events 121 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:18,120 at a social hour, social environment and then you happen to sit next to people who are there 122 00:13:18,120 --> 00:13:23,320 for a concert or a show or a venue or whatever and then they think that you're going out 123 00:13:23,320 --> 00:13:28,960 to see the same show but you're not. 124 00:13:28,960 --> 00:13:31,720 So a lot of times that's what happens. 125 00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:32,720 Okay? 126 00:13:32,720 --> 00:13:34,560 That's really what happens. 127 00:13:34,560 --> 00:13:51,880 And I think that people don't really understand that people with a disability, we're past 128 00:13:51,880 --> 00:13:55,480 the idea of loneliness. 129 00:13:55,480 --> 00:13:57,040 We don't feel sad. 130 00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,520 We don't feel happy. 131 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:00,960 We don't feel resentful. 132 00:14:00,960 --> 00:14:03,620 We don't feel angry. 133 00:14:03,620 --> 00:14:06,200 We don't have bitterness. 134 00:14:06,200 --> 00:14:11,400 It's just not our environment of what we are. 135 00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:19,080 And I keep telling people that you can't miss something that you never had. 136 00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:28,320 So a lot of times when I meet people, complete strangers in a downtown area, I'm never going 137 00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:33,160 to see them again so I don't ever have to miss them. 138 00:14:33,160 --> 00:14:35,760 They're never going to talk to me ever again. 139 00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:42,600 They're not from the GR area or Detroit or Grand Rapids or Lansing or wherever I'm from 140 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,080 or anywhere in Highland or whatever. 141 00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:52,160 When you meet complete strangers, you don't make friends with them for a lifetime. 142 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:57,200 You make friends with them momentarily. 143 00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:02,200 And sometimes it's better that way for people like me to make friends like that than to 144 00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:12,440 have friends or people who claim to be your friend but don't add up the points to be your 145 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:15,480 friend. 146 00:15:15,480 --> 00:15:19,840 So recently I had two friends. 147 00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:25,760 Both of them I know very well and some of you guys may know them. 148 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:32,440 And they became my friends, better friends when they needed a friend like me to have 149 00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:33,440 an apartment. 150 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,160 Because I have an apartment, I live on my own, I pay my rent, I'm responsible, I'm 151 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,280 diligent to what I do. 152 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:45,400 I do things by the teeth, by my eyes and everything. 153 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:50,120 These friends don't have a job or they have a job and then they quit the job and then 154 00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,680 they have a job and then they quit the job. 155 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:57,440 And then they get kicked out by their parents or their mom and they blame their mom for 156 00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:58,440 their bullshit. 157 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:02,720 But in reality, they just don't have a dick. 158 00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:07,240 So what I mean by that is that they're not mature enough and don't grow some balls and 159 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:12,520 just get a job and deal with what most people in America deal with. 160 00:16:12,520 --> 00:16:16,120 You're not going to like your job, you're not going to love your job, you're just going 161 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:18,080 to work your job. 162 00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:24,080 And you either have two choices, you can either advance in your career or you can stay in 163 00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:31,720 the same position, not liking your career at all, but you still work. 164 00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:37,520 And then you pay your bills and then you have fun on the weekends. 165 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:48,720 So what they do is that they have a set way of thinking that their new employee has to 166 00:16:48,720 --> 00:16:51,760 escort them to what they need. 167 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:58,160 So anything that they think that they should receive, regardless of they earn it or not, 168 00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:02,080 the new employee needs to do exactly what they think that they should. 169 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:07,800 And if they don't do that, that they quit their jobs or they blame their jobs for being 170 00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:12,400 fired, or they quit their job and they, well, my manager is a dickhead for making me work 171 00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:18,360 55 hours a week and I don't know why I didn't get a bonus. 172 00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:21,440 Well, you're the new guy. 173 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:26,560 You're the guy that worked there less than eight months and they don't need to give you 174 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:27,560 a $1,200 bonus. 175 00:17:27,560 --> 00:17:33,840 If you got a $200 bonus, that should be enough. 176 00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:43,360 And a lot of my friends, a lot of my acquaintances would get upset with me for sticking up for 177 00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:47,360 their parents, for their mom or their dad. 178 00:17:47,360 --> 00:17:51,720 And I'm like, your parents don't owe you anything. 179 00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,960 They gave you, they gave you breath. 180 00:17:54,960 --> 00:18:01,080 They pumped you out of their penis and their ovaries and their uterus and they gave you 181 00:18:01,080 --> 00:18:02,080 life. 182 00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:08,920 And then they taught you skills of survival like any parents should. 183 00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:14,480 And both of these people or guys that I know of, they taught them that skill. 184 00:18:14,480 --> 00:18:18,120 I know, I met them, I've seen it. 185 00:18:18,120 --> 00:18:23,680 But when it's the off season, regardless of the greenhouse effect or regardless that you're 186 00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:29,200 not making enough money because you work at the bar, but you are college educated and 187 00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:35,680 you could get a real job and a factory job and work seven to three, Monday through Friday, 188 00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:39,760 50 hours a week, you would still don't have to work on the weekend. 189 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:45,320 That should be enough for you to realize that's what you're supposed to do. 190 00:18:45,320 --> 00:18:46,480 But they don't see it that way. 191 00:18:46,480 --> 00:18:54,120 They think that their boss supposed to change their schedule, give them better raises. 192 00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:59,040 When things don't go exactly the right way, but with the way that they think they should, 193 00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,800 they get frustrated and blame the boss for not doing the job. 194 00:19:03,800 --> 00:19:12,960 But in reality, it's not that important because the point is as long as that business meets 195 00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:20,320 out that goal of 1500 pieces or 500 pieces for three hours or two hours and you pump 196 00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:24,440 into those main pieces by the end of the week, it shouldn't matter. 197 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:31,600 You should do what your manager tells you, finish that job, take Saturday, Sunday off 198 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:34,680 and repeat it from Monday through Friday. 199 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,120 But my friends don't see it that way. 200 00:19:37,120 --> 00:19:42,880 They think that their bosses should change the rules because they feel like they're 201 00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:48,400 more important than the rules are. 202 00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:54,840 But this also goes by the fact that my friends will get angry with me when I go back and 203 00:19:54,840 --> 00:20:01,800 I agree with the parents and say, your parents don't owe you anything. 204 00:20:01,800 --> 00:20:05,200 Shut the fuck up and go to work. 205 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:07,520 It's the off season for the greenhouse. 206 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,320 Go to work in the off season. 207 00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:16,800 Go get a job, go get a factory job and keep paying rent and deal with it. 208 00:20:16,800 --> 00:20:21,440 And your dad doesn't have to owe you anything. 209 00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:29,840 Your dad gave you a job for the first six months and now you have to either collect 210 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:36,400 unemployment like you should or you get a new job for another five months and then you 211 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:42,320 go and repeat it the following year. 212 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:48,400 And what's amazing though is that my friends who were staying at my place for a couple 213 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:55,320 weeks or another friend was a couple months, they would get petty because they wanted to 214 00:20:55,320 --> 00:21:01,960 come home at a certain time during the week and I wasn't home and they got really mad 215 00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:06,640 at me because I wasn't there to let them in in my apartment. 216 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:14,080 And you have to be careful with that shit man because a lot of people don't realize 217 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:18,200 that I don't owe people anything. 218 00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:22,680 If you want to stay in my apartment for a couple weeks until you get out and get back 219 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:31,400 on your feet, then you should consider it to consider the fact that I may not be home 220 00:21:31,400 --> 00:21:37,480 until six o'clock on a Thursday or Friday or Tuesday or whatever day it is. 221 00:21:37,480 --> 00:21:43,600 But for you to get upset that I'm not running back home after my shift waiting for you to 222 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:54,200 give me a text and like hey crazy Dre are you home yet because I'm ready to come home. 223 00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,040 Technically I don't have to respond to that. 224 00:21:57,040 --> 00:22:00,280 Technically I could say well I'm not coming home until seven. 225 00:22:00,280 --> 00:22:05,960 So if you want to go to your mom's house or your brother's house or your dad's house and 226 00:22:05,960 --> 00:22:08,200 hang out with them, so do it. 227 00:22:08,200 --> 00:22:09,200 So be it. 228 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:15,080 But for you to think that I should run to my apartment, sit in my apartment, think that 229 00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:21,960 I'm going to sit there and wait for you to text me or call me and like I'm ready to come 230 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:26,120 home and I'm like oh great I'm going to have dinner with you. 231 00:22:26,120 --> 00:22:28,440 No I'm not going to have dinner with you. 232 00:22:28,440 --> 00:22:29,960 I don't care. 233 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:35,240 And if you go out of your way to call me hey girl, that's all you're going to tell me another 234 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:41,560 thing that you're a homosexual in the closet that you don't understand that I don't need 235 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:43,320 that in my life. 236 00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:45,360 I'm not gay. 237 00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:48,120 I don't need that stuff in my life. 238 00:22:48,120 --> 00:22:53,160 If I want to be gay, if I want to live that lifestyle, I'll go to a gay bar in a gay 239 00:22:53,160 --> 00:23:00,120 environment and live out that gay lifestyle but I'm not going to tolerate your bullshit 240 00:23:00,120 --> 00:23:02,280 by calling me hey girl. 241 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:06,280 No that's bullshit. 242 00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:11,560 And to anyone out there that's like what you're homophobic, no that's not homophobic. 243 00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:19,960 That means I have just as right to have people respect my boundaries as a straight man to 244 00:23:19,960 --> 00:23:25,960 understand that this is the line that you not cross over and if you don't like that, 245 00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:27,000 deal with it. 246 00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:32,160 Go to your gay bars, go to your gay clubs, go to your gay environment and do that. 247 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:39,640 That's why we have gay bars, gay clubs, gay environments for your people to do that. 248 00:23:39,640 --> 00:23:44,680 Now I'm not going to tell you that you're going to hell, you're going to heaven or whatever 249 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:46,960 but that's not important. 250 00:23:46,960 --> 00:23:51,720 Respect my boundaries as much as you want, the average GTQ want them to be respected 251 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,600 too. 252 00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,640 So understand your boundaries. 253 00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,840 But you have to understand that. 254 00:24:01,840 --> 00:24:17,440 And then on, I've always been fascinated by Malcolm X and Malcolm X is a Muslim political 255 00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:25,440 leader in the 60s, in the late 50s, mostly 60s before he was assassinated by the Nation 256 00:24:25,440 --> 00:24:32,680 of Islam, the same group that promoted Malcolm X. 257 00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:39,600 In some ways people ask me, why do you like Malcolm X? 258 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:49,440 Why do you consider any form of knowledge of Malcolm X and Islam? 259 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:55,880 A lot of people know that I was brought up as a Christian or Catholic based on where 260 00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:56,880 I come from. 261 00:24:56,880 --> 00:25:05,280 But most people know that I'm not really religious, I'm not proclaiming to a different D&T because 262 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:09,520 I don't want to discriminate against religious belief. 263 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:15,200 I don't know who the true prophet is. 264 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,920 I don't know God created the earth in seven days. 265 00:25:17,920 --> 00:25:21,760 I don't know if God created the earth in 4.6 billion years. 266 00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:34,280 I don't know if God created Moses to deliver freedom for his Israelite people from Egypt. 267 00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:40,840 And by the way, that myth of the Israelites being enslaved in Egypt is a myth. 268 00:25:40,840 --> 00:25:42,400 Hypothetically it's a myth. 269 00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:51,280 There's never been any label or any scripture of the Egyptian empire labeling Hebrew people 270 00:25:51,280 --> 00:25:53,160 as slaves. 271 00:25:53,160 --> 00:26:01,600 The most likely the people who helped create the pyramids were the Egyptian people that 272 00:26:01,600 --> 00:26:05,680 got paid by bread and beer. 273 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:14,120 But most likely were very intelligent people that helped build the pyramids. 274 00:26:14,120 --> 00:26:20,280 And to be honest with you, you just would not have dumb slaves that you don't teach 275 00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:22,080 the language to them. 276 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:26,520 You don't teach them the arts or you don't teach them the cultural. 277 00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:33,880 You don't teach them the sense of education that you teach your own citizens the same 278 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:34,880 way. 279 00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:41,840 So a lot of people would disagree with me to think that the Israelites are actually slaves 280 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:45,080 of the Egyptians who built the pyramids. 281 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:54,160 But it's been more reported that the Hebrew people were probably slaves that did not build 282 00:26:54,160 --> 00:26:56,120 the pyramids. 283 00:26:56,120 --> 00:27:10,000 But saying that, you have to really realize that as a person who is based on God and religion 284 00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:13,160 or some form, I have respect for God. 285 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:18,680 I have respect for something I can't explain. 286 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:27,560 I'm not going to tell Jews or Muslims that their prophet or prophet Mohammed or Elijah 287 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:35,720 or Jewish people that the Jewish prophets are not coming back because I don't know. 288 00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:43,580 And I'm not going to tell people who are not Christians that the only way to enter the 289 00:27:43,580 --> 00:27:50,400 gates of heaven is through Jesus Christ because I don't know. 290 00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:54,120 And I tell people this all the time. 291 00:27:54,120 --> 00:28:02,160 So going back to Malcolm X, I see this guy when I was a little kid and I grew up with 292 00:28:02,160 --> 00:28:07,320 an era of, you know, I've always had an interest in the civil rights movements. 293 00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:13,120 I see Dr. King and Rosa Parks and I see Malcolm X. 294 00:28:13,120 --> 00:28:19,200 And I see this man so angry and he hates away people and he just has so much fire underneath 295 00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:26,600 his breath and he has so much justice that it's not fulfilled in his people. 296 00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,200 And I kind of know who this guy is. 297 00:28:29,200 --> 00:28:30,200 I don't know why. 298 00:28:30,200 --> 00:28:39,760 So I read the autobiography of Malcolm X or the biography of Malcolm X. 299 00:28:39,760 --> 00:28:47,400 And I see the guy that was, you know, red little and he grew up in Nebraska and moved 300 00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:48,400 to Detroit. 301 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:57,120 And you have to understand that Malcolm X's dad was probably a Baptist preacher that moved 302 00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:01,600 somewhere in Detroit at a certain period. 303 00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:07,560 His dad gets run over by a bunch of white people that no one really knows if that really 304 00:29:07,560 --> 00:29:12,960 happened but hypothetically that probably did happen. 305 00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:23,920 His mother now is not married, doesn't have any income coming in and now she has five 306 00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:29,200 or six kids along with Malcolm X. 307 00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:33,560 And then she has a nervous breakdown. 308 00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:37,200 And then sent her to a psychiatric place. 309 00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:45,520 So as a person like red little or Malcolm X when you change his name to Malcolm X, as 310 00:29:45,520 --> 00:29:54,440 you understand that your mother is going to be in a psychiatric hospital rocking herself, 311 00:29:54,440 --> 00:30:07,600 spinning her head, making sounds that don't make sense, drooling, peeing and pooping in 312 00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:14,520 her pants, urinating all over the place, space now, don't make any sense. 313 00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:23,120 You see your mother like that and then you are sent to a family in Detroit, a family 314 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:32,480 member in Detroit who supposedly is supposed to take care of you and look out for you. 315 00:30:32,480 --> 00:30:37,360 And then he starts running on the streets like a thug, by the way he claims to be a 316 00:30:37,360 --> 00:30:44,180 thug or a little hustler or a little player or whatever he wants to call himself. 317 00:30:44,180 --> 00:30:48,240 And then he gets arrested and then he falls in love with a white girl, all people that 318 00:30:48,240 --> 00:30:51,280 he falls in love with is always that white girl. 319 00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:58,200 And then he gets arrested again and then he goes to prison and then his brother is already 320 00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:02,400 in the nation of Islam, problem of Elijah. 321 00:31:02,400 --> 00:31:09,200 And then Malcolm X slowly but surely converts to Islam. 322 00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:17,600 And Islam is supposed to teach young black men how to not fornicate with complete strangers, 323 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:26,400 how to be a good husband, a good parent, a non-alcoholic, a non-smoker, a non-gambler, 324 00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:34,160 a non-profanity type of person and be responsible human being. 325 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:45,040 In the Time Magazine as he says during a debate with Rustin, a debater of the movement of 326 00:31:45,040 --> 00:31:52,260 African Americans who are more sided with Dr. Cain's philosophy of having white people 327 00:31:52,260 --> 00:31:58,640 change the laws to help black people progress as a society. 328 00:31:58,640 --> 00:32:09,040 But going back, you see Malcolm X transitioning to Islam and his lifestyle starts to change. 329 00:32:09,040 --> 00:32:14,120 The nation of Islam owns his house, owns everything that he owns, everything that he works for 330 00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,760 is owned by the nation of Islam. 331 00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:27,920 And prophet Elijah tells Malcolm X, as a black man you have to be self-sufficient, responsible, 332 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:36,000 work on your own land, pay your own bills, be a progressive black man, never rely on 333 00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:45,640 the white man and tell Malcolm X and his people, his Muslim people that they should move to 334 00:32:45,640 --> 00:32:52,040 a city state where only black people are governed by only black people. 335 00:32:52,040 --> 00:33:00,900 You cannot, Malcolm X claims that you cannot be free from your slave owner if you have 336 00:33:00,900 --> 00:33:05,480 to pass, if the white man has to pass laws to make you equal. 337 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:12,200 That means you're still a secondhand citizen and he's right in that respect. 338 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:21,560 But Rustin says, technically you're wrong because at a certain point after the laws 339 00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:31,760 are passed, you are still a citizen of this country, you just have to do the right thing. 340 00:33:31,760 --> 00:33:35,720 Now doing the right thing means it could be a lot of different things. 341 00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:39,840 Does it mean that you coincide with everything the white man tells you? 342 00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:44,800 Does it mean that you ignore what the white man tells you and then you start your own 343 00:33:44,800 --> 00:33:48,800 land, your own property, your own business, everything? 344 00:33:48,800 --> 00:33:49,800 I can't tell you. 345 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:54,240 There are two different perspectives. 346 00:33:54,240 --> 00:34:06,160 But Malcolm X keeps asking or telling Rustin that in the west coast of Africa that there 347 00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:24,480 is a nation that from 1300 C to 1700 C, a black leader, a black religion of Muslims 348 00:34:24,480 --> 00:34:32,960 had control of their wealth, had prosperity, had everything that was working for them without 349 00:34:32,960 --> 00:34:37,120 the white man. 350 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:45,680 Rustin says in today's society that doesn't really exist because in a lot of ways the 351 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:58,120 white man still owns those lands, still owns that culture, still owns, has a print of society 352 00:34:58,120 --> 00:35:10,700 that you can't erase a cultural or personality or the white cultural away from the law. 353 00:35:10,700 --> 00:35:18,520 So Rustin says that in order to make things work, you have to make laws so that progressively 354 00:35:18,520 --> 00:35:25,760 black people in America can progressively become one first citizen of this country, 355 00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:27,600 not second citizen. 356 00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:32,360 But Malcolm X isn't willing to wait for those laws to be changed. 357 00:35:32,360 --> 00:35:42,360 He actually thinks those laws will be changed, but it doesn't mean that the black man will 358 00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:45,560 still be first class citizens. 359 00:35:45,560 --> 00:35:52,440 It just means that they're forcing the white man in America to change laws to include the 360 00:35:52,440 --> 00:35:57,440 black man, to be involved with the white man, but they don't want nothing to do with the 361 00:35:57,440 --> 00:35:58,840 black man. 362 00:35:58,840 --> 00:36:07,880 So Malcolm X is saying his people, mostly Muslim people, Muslim blacks deserve a city 363 00:36:07,880 --> 00:36:08,880 state. 364 00:36:08,880 --> 00:36:17,320 And the reason why that doesn't work is that you can't give a racial group of people a 365 00:36:17,320 --> 00:36:18,920 state. 366 00:36:18,920 --> 00:36:28,800 Native Americans, and Malcolm X stated that through time in history, the American government 367 00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:36,920 realized that they took the Native American land and they paid the Native Americans that 368 00:36:36,920 --> 00:36:37,920 land. 369 00:36:37,920 --> 00:36:46,520 And it wasn't a lot of money, but they gave them casinos and rights to not include in 370 00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:52,040 taxes or to live in a more free state. 371 00:36:52,040 --> 00:36:57,920 Malcolm X thought that African Americans of this generation, of his generation, should 372 00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:06,480 have that law passed that his people should get a reprimandation of being a slave for 373 00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,200 310 years. 374 00:37:08,200 --> 00:37:15,720 310 years means of the time of Malcolm X's existence and life breathing. 375 00:37:15,720 --> 00:37:22,640 Black America now would conserve 400 years or more. 376 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:30,320 But to be honest with you, either of these people, Rustin or Malcolm X, is ever going 377 00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,280 to be right. 378 00:37:32,280 --> 00:37:41,320 America government will never give African Americans land to have an only black state. 379 00:37:41,320 --> 00:37:44,540 That's like creating a black anthem. 380 00:37:44,540 --> 00:37:50,360 Only a black anthem, only for black people and not a national anthem for all people in 381 00:37:50,360 --> 00:37:53,160 America. 382 00:37:53,160 --> 00:38:01,720 And unfortunately, unfortunately for Malcolm X, he figured out that black people and white 383 00:38:01,720 --> 00:38:09,000 people could work together after he visited Mecca and saw that white people were sharing 384 00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:19,920 the same cup of other Muslims at the ceremony of some Islamic ritual or faith. 385 00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:29,040 So when he came back, he thought different from the nation of Islam. 386 00:38:29,040 --> 00:38:33,400 The nation of Islam, prophet Elijah, didn't like that. 387 00:38:33,400 --> 00:38:45,240 But what pissed off Elijah was that Malcolm X made a statement about Kennedy's or JFK 388 00:38:45,240 --> 00:38:46,240 being shot. 389 00:38:46,240 --> 00:38:54,680 And that statement was based on kind of like the rooster has been called to come home. 390 00:38:54,680 --> 00:39:04,680 And it was a way of saying that the rooster guy, his head chopped off for bullshit, for 391 00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:16,320 BSing the southern states, for BSing the civil rights movement. 392 00:39:16,320 --> 00:39:27,520 So probably the reason why Malcolm X was dismissed from the nation of Islam because they made 393 00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:29,200 that statement. 394 00:39:29,200 --> 00:39:34,560 Now Malcolm X might have been right about that statement, but it's very difficult to 395 00:39:34,560 --> 00:39:41,800 make a statement like that if you don't know exactly all the details. 396 00:39:41,800 --> 00:39:46,560 And it's very dangerous to make a statement like that because you don't have all the details. 397 00:39:46,560 --> 00:39:49,960 And you're never supposed to have those details. 398 00:39:49,960 --> 00:39:54,320 And if you work for the CIA or the FBI or the Secret Service and the president doesn't 399 00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:57,920 get shot, you're not going to talk about it. 400 00:39:57,920 --> 00:39:58,920 You can't talk about it. 401 00:39:58,920 --> 00:39:59,920 You can't even go home. 402 00:39:59,920 --> 00:40:02,760 You can't discuss with your friends and family. 403 00:40:02,760 --> 00:40:07,000 It just really happened. 404 00:40:07,000 --> 00:40:14,240 And I think that a lot of people, when they see Malcolm X, my eyes, when I see Malcolm 405 00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:23,360 X, I see a guy that really tried really hard to have African Americans behave correctly. 406 00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:27,080 In some ways, prophet Elijah was correct. 407 00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:34,680 In order to create a common denominator for black people, they would have to be off drugs, 408 00:40:34,680 --> 00:40:41,680 off alcohol, less profanity or no profanity. 409 00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:47,280 Create their own careers, have a job, come home, respect their spouse. 410 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:53,160 And a lot of times most black people in today's era don't even talk about respect for their 411 00:40:53,160 --> 00:40:58,240 spouse, going to work, making payments on their houses. 412 00:40:58,240 --> 00:41:09,000 They'd rather be unemployed and use the government, subsidize the government's income to make 413 00:41:09,000 --> 00:41:13,300 their life a better place. 414 00:41:13,300 --> 00:41:26,480 As I get my drink of water, let me take a break. 415 00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:36,600 But I really thought that I should have talked about Malcolm X because you see a man that 416 00:41:36,600 --> 00:41:42,320 has seen a lot of things that happened to his mom and his dad. 417 00:41:42,320 --> 00:41:49,120 You see a man that's really frustrated with his society and the way that things are run. 418 00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:57,200 You see that the people that raised you up, the nation Islam, have now turned on you and 419 00:41:57,200 --> 00:42:05,320 you don't have a place to turn to or respect or a place to be safe. 420 00:42:05,320 --> 00:42:11,240 And to be honest with you, I don't really think that Malcolm X really thought that. 421 00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:21,880 In a lot of ways if he was still alive after the age of 39, 38, I think if he turned 42 422 00:42:21,880 --> 00:42:28,480 or 45 years old, he would realize that you don't need a new city state. 423 00:42:28,480 --> 00:42:34,640 You don't need to have a whole state for only black people or only Muslims or only Christians 424 00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:40,820 or only Jews or only brown people or blue eyed people or blinds. 425 00:42:40,820 --> 00:42:46,480 I think he would realize that a lot of people can coexist. 426 00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:48,480 It's the way you pursue it. 427 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,440 It's very more important than anything else. 428 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:52,440 And whatever. 429 00:42:52,440 --> 00:42:56,400 Dr. Cain didn't really pursue anything that well at all. 430 00:42:56,400 --> 00:43:01,680 He allowed his own people to march along with other white people to march and get beat up 431 00:43:01,680 --> 00:43:02,980 and hosed down. 432 00:43:02,980 --> 00:43:09,120 So saying that, I don't really think that Dr. Cain really did it much better or worse 433 00:43:09,120 --> 00:43:10,960 than Malcolm X. 434 00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:18,320 I think they both created chaos for the same reason, but they didn't understand the basis 435 00:43:18,320 --> 00:43:23,680 of the law, the constitution, the bill of rights, that things need to be written down 436 00:43:23,680 --> 00:43:26,680 so things change. 437 00:43:26,680 --> 00:43:33,560 And I get it, Malcolm X would tell you that we can change laws all you want, but if the 438 00:43:33,560 --> 00:43:40,680 white man doesn't see us as equal and forces the white man to like us, it means nothing. 439 00:43:40,680 --> 00:43:44,320 It really means nothing. 440 00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:49,960 But if you don't ever have to change the laws and the white man changes his ideology and 441 00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:57,000 respect for the brown man or the black man, then that's brotherhood. 442 00:43:57,000 --> 00:44:01,760 But in the United States, everything's about changing laws and bill of rights. 443 00:44:01,760 --> 00:44:04,120 That's something that you just didn't connect. 444 00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:08,760 I think he connected it, but I don't think you would realize that that's the progress 445 00:44:08,760 --> 00:44:16,200 of our democracy, if you want to call it that. 446 00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:19,760 So I do feel bad for Malcolm X. 447 00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:21,040 I feel bad for Dr. Cain. 448 00:44:21,040 --> 00:44:25,640 I feel bad for anybody that fought for the civil rights movement. 449 00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:31,760 I feel bad for all the people that were taught that black people are dumb and stupid and 450 00:44:31,760 --> 00:44:37,840 ignorant and didn't have nothing to do with anything, and they just said, well, you're 451 00:44:37,840 --> 00:44:39,520 too stupid to be a citizen. 452 00:44:39,520 --> 00:44:44,320 You got to feel bad for stupid people, because sometimes those stupid people just don't know 453 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:49,020 that they're stupid. 454 00:44:49,020 --> 00:44:51,520 So you feel bad. 455 00:44:51,520 --> 00:44:52,520 I feel bad. 456 00:44:52,520 --> 00:44:53,520 I really do. 457 00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:55,680 I just feel bad. 458 00:44:55,680 --> 00:44:58,520 I don't know how to explain it. 459 00:44:58,520 --> 00:45:06,000 I feel bad for Malcolm X, a guy that had really good feed on the African-American people, 460 00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:10,680 should create their own jobs, live with their own man, take care of their own families, 461 00:45:10,680 --> 00:45:17,360 don't drink, don't smoke, don't do drugs, don't have profanity or extreme profanity. 462 00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:21,800 They should be up-stated citizens, just like the white people should be. 463 00:45:21,800 --> 00:45:25,480 And these people rejected that idea completely. 464 00:45:25,480 --> 00:45:31,320 And you know they have, because they never talk about Malcolm X. I've never heard a black 465 00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:36,560 man talk about Malcolm X. They talk about Black Lives Matter, but they never talk about 466 00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:43,000 the philosophy of Malcolm X, about taking care of your own business, staying out of 467 00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:50,880 trouble, doing drugs, doing to drink alcohol, to care your spouse, no profanity. 468 00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:53,880 You just don't hear black men talk about that. 469 00:45:53,880 --> 00:45:54,880 You just don't. 470 00:45:54,880 --> 00:46:01,360 What you hear when they're upset and they're angry, you know what you see?
