We really just gonna talk today like D. Just hit me I was like was record. I was like say less. Yeah, and I just you feel me. I'm tired of Being all political like that shit is just like we don't only do that on the podcast All right, like being political 24-7 that is not in like a sense of like Constantly like being someone that just is like Striving for the liberation of all people gets draining as fuck breath So like today, I just want to be regular and black and talk about fun shit. I'm honestly fun shit like I just want to I Think all time we have a serious We've had a lot of serious episodes like we did when we was talking about what's xx extension to All of our episodes tend to like tie in like dismantling this white oppressive system But it's like I want to do that today But in a different way like just like kind of like harder because sometimes it should be hella heavy Just be tired. Yeah, I mean it's shit It's important just to not be all just because I mean both of us are so busy and all like we worked all day Got food and came over here to record, you know, so it's like and the work that we do is so Taxing to you know, like it ain't just like we're doing some just You know, I'm brainless. I mean, I don't say that word But I don't know and it's not just unique to us either like I feel like this is just what anyone who's like Striving like I said for liberation and for like a better life Like you're constantly in that mode of like Working working working working as you kind of lose sight of like that's not really all life has to be about At least you gotta have a balance, you know, it's probably a privilege thing to say to that like So yeah today I wanted to just Fill me just talk. Yeah first. I want to start off with like plug-in leech. Leech is a bar Is that what they would be considered a bar, right? Yeah, but for Oakland, they might call that shit a club. Yeah, please is a spot in downtown Oakland. That's fucking late I don't even know a street. They don't I want to say 12th. Maybe I think they on 12th Street. Maybe 13th I don't know. I just know how to get this over there. Is he down a sheaf is smart final fuck I don't know what it's right like all open right. Oh, they're probably close. That's it So weird name now identification, but wherever look up leads when you in Oakland, that shit is so lit They had like a little spark spoken word slash open Mike night last night, bro Oh, it was the most beautiful black should I've ever been a part of bro Like I'm talking about I sometimes get like social anxiety when I step in like places that I'm not familiar with and I get around new People I get like anxious, but the literally the vibrations in their words Oh brain was so calming and peaceful, bro Like the lighting everything where they were serving food It was just hella black people in there and it was so late. So I wanted to shout them out I think they do it every Wednesday for off a tapping we like we got to go next weekend Next Wednesday, I'll be out but like the Wednesday after that bro. We should definitely slide. It's so I think on Thursdays They do like some like jazz shit for yeah, bro It's like they like quietly like building safe black spaces, bro Like on the fucking low. They got some real life safe black shit going on. That's that's the shit We need especially after all this shit that's been popping off and Oakland like that's why I was afraid to even plug it I'm like many fucking Wish these niggas would but like yeah, bro. It was it was dope. So I definitely want to shot them out like You know congratulate them on all like the positive work They doing in the community Oakland cuz like that's like that shit is important, bro It's super important. Yeah, so I want to shout them out. Shout out to each Then you know shout out to niggas like you we all these you know black teachers and black students Go back to school. I definitely want to give them some fucking uh, hello You know some some positive energy send them with some positive vibes as they get ready to take on another Another school year in school system that is not designed for them to succeed So y'all go out there keep your hands up You feel me shout out to all the black teachers you feel me who man who really you know putting in that work for their students because it's It's a grind bro and like black teachers benefit all students not just black students Yeah, like studies have shown to like having a black teacher is better for all demographics, bro So shout out to all the fucking black teachers out there putting in that work shout out to the radical educators out there All the black radical educators that's teaching the history Yes, work you feel me because like if we ain't knowing our history We ain't finna know the way to move forward. You know I'm saying so it's like it's so important to have black radical educators And this is more it's important You know to support them too because oftentimes like as especially as a black radical bread you want to educators education space You ain't finna get supported like especially working in like a historically white institution or School system that is you know dominated by the white power structure You feel me Khadija has a piece coming out where she talks about like the importance of having black radical teachers on staff But cuz like you know you'll have like a black teacher on staff But they could obviously be perpetuating the system just as well, right? Yeah, like even with the way they teach the content that they teach like when you got black radical teachers on staff, bro That's when you start getting a shift in the way that students are taught in with their talk So like that shit is oh, yes, I couldn't have said any better, bro Shout out my nigga. Yeah, shout out my nigga left that nigga really he was my first I feel like radical ass teacher that I ain't never had one bro my nigga left fall him on Twitter at left sentence. Yeah, he really be teaching really be teaching his ass off He really put me on until a lot of knowledge. Yeah, thanks. You know, so it's really important like I feel like a lot of people especially You know people who come into consciousness or organize and usually they have at least like one radical teacher You know what I'm saying that kind of like puts them on Well, I was gonna say I never had a radical teacher. I've had radical teachers, but not inside school systems Like I did not in school like I've had, you know Anyone that I'm reading that I'm listening to that's a teacher for me If I'm not if this especially since I'm learning something from them But so yeah, I've had radical teachers, but never in a school like you had a radical teacher at UC Berkeley So like this that's big and they don't want us there. That's why it's so important like that you have Like black students who were really pushing and pushing the needle you feel me like like when I was a student week We was really trying to push the needle and get like black radical folks at Cal You know I'm saying it's like imagine having like a black radical Dean Like that shit's gonna shift the entire culture over school, bro. Yeah, bro. I was reading a lot of this shit Like about Merritt College and shit like For like a black university like they had like the first black president in the junior college system I believe like they had the very first black studies department. You feel me That's where he knew when the Bobby Seale was you feel me like they really was trying to make a black university in North Oakland And then what happened was they essentially moved Merritt up into the hills of East Oakland. You feel me Today not today monkeys Real radical shit like going in the bookstore to get thrown all that shit out like saying fuck that bro We want we want a black campus like on some real shit, you know, it's all I feel like we really need Education spaces and we need more black educators because it's people talking about they want a revolution, bro But like how many people are educating people and it doesn't even mean like within the school system But it means like, you know, and your daily conversations You're gonna educate people on like what a revolution looks like you're like imagine instead of reading fucking Kite Runner You eat revolutionary suicide Feel me like imagine that though Shakespeare Imagine if instead of like you was reading fucking autobiography of George Washington What's the other two about them two niggas who was like, y'all know what I'm talking about too. Oh my god They make you read this shit in every English class like those two niggas Yeah They're gonna like try to read that shit About Huey and Bobby. Yeah, read some Baldwin or something. You feel like I imagine they was really pushing our learning Oh my god, but we they we reading exactly what they want us to read exactly I mean education in this white capitalist system is a form of propaganda in my control Bro, I read some I read some shit earlier today and was like you can tell the priorities Of a country based on what they teach their students You can tell like what they're Grooming them to be If I'm saying like in America we're grooming students to be fucking not think for themselves No, I mean, but even if you look at like how classrooms are structured, right? So it's like you have these small little desks, right and they're all in order, you know, like they're all in like a line essentially That's basically You know, they're trying to create people to work in the factories. Yeah Right, that's what they're literally training you to work in the factory And schools today is still that same system. You feel me so like The way I teach I don't teach like that. I'm like, that should give me anxiety as a teacher I'm like, bro, we got to move all these chairs like move this shit into a circle That was actually like a black feminist intervention into the classroom was moving shit in the circle Like I said, I usually try to sit down when I teach you feel me because like even when you're standing As an educator and your students are sitting that's creating a different power dynamic So I'm trying to sit and some people are like, why are you sitting like you lazy? I'm like, no, it's like actually a part of my a part of my like pedagogy that I use You feel me like it's like a pedagogy pedagogy, bro It's just like a simple way in the teaching style a simple way of saying teaching style like the way you I don't know You up through your ivory tower bed telling me my own slow and sweet potato fries and shit This is all a part of it. Go into a pro alive in the flesh Shit is happening No, but like that's all this pure white. Yeah, that shit is that shit is real though Like definitely like yeah It's important, but like just just in the way that like schools, but that's the thing I haven't really like studied any other like Way to Yeah, like I don't know how like how school is in other countries. I've never like really Like dabbled into it. I just know like the way that we teach and learn in america is just like for show Not right. I don't know like what they doing in africa. You feel me? I don't know But I know like I know like in germany They basically you don't have to like to go to medical school You can go after medical school like age 18 So like if you already know what you want to do, you know, like college in a way is a trap You know because it's a cycle of debt that they're gonna finish not in a way In a way here. It definitely is here, you know what i'm saying So it's like they teach you to go to college. You feel me become a part of the status quo And you 100,000 dollars in debt and then what are you gonna do you finna go corporate You ain't gonna follow the dreams that you have right instead of like Becoming you know getting a trade instead. I'm still here. Yeah, you good. You good I'm only hearing myself at one earphone I don't know Okay, I hear myself, but like, it's only, it's literally you want an earphone, this is that's it For real? Maybe the earphone bad I can't hear you, don't keep going Alright Oh, there we go What the fuck was that? I don't know, man, you need to clean your ears, bruh Hella black, you know, we be talkin' shit Talk about my coleslaw, I'ma talk about your ears, nigga Oh, fuck Hey, shout out to all the niggas that eat coleslaw, you feelin' me tryin' to get their greens in, you know what I'm sayin'? Not shout out to all the no, no, shout out deaf to all the niggas that eat coleslaw Shit Fuckin' fans So, but yeah, it's important to have radical educators And we need them And we need them And we gotta support them Just so fucked up, because teaching is just like such a... If you think about how much time you put in based on pay, like niggas is gettin' like pennies pennies, bro And like, to be a teacher too, like, you know, I teach in college but like, to be a teacher in grade school you teachin' five periods, six periods without a break, bro Like, that's, that's some mainy shit, bruh When I was teaching, we had, like, a little, like a... Well, you, like, you'd get, like, without one off period Yeah But it's like, even then, you spend that period, like, probably not enough for your next one or a fuckin' grade and some shit, you know? It's just fuckin' nuts, bruh And I was only teachin' PE And behind on grades Like, what the fuck, nigga? That is sick I couldn't imagine if I was teachin' a fuckin' subject that required preparation for the next grade Like, where every day counts Like, every day, just you bein' off by a little bit, you know? It's gonna throw you off track, bruh So, like, but again, it shows the priorities of this country where police officers are makin' more than teachers That shit makes me fuckin' sick Like, man, like, police officers are really... And the thing is, bruh, like, to be a teacher, you gotta do a four-year degree and then you gotta go get your credential Pigs, you feel me? All you have to do is get your GED Like, it's required for you to be, like, a moron to be a pig We don't want no smart folks We don't want no, because if you're smart, you finna challenge what we say You will see how foul dumb this shit is Like, but we really, we gotta make a push I feel like, you know, if we're talkin' we really gotta make a push to support educators more Everybody loves educators, but no one loves educators Nah, it's like, it's cool to be like, oh, yeah, you're a teacher sick, but... Teachers, well, the teachers save the world They prepare our children for the future, okay? But, okay, let's pay them 45k a year to live in the fucking Bay Area where rent is, on average, like, fucking $1,300 in Oakland Shhh Like, you can't afford it Some of my young niggas who went to Mac, they did a research project and it was basically talking about how their teachers are like essentially having to leave Mac or they're just living hell far away or living with hell of people And then imagine how that affects you coming into work and you start having to deal with... And they still put all in there to support their kids They students, you feel me? I'm close with a couple of the teachers at the schools that I work with and they just be, bro, like... Hearing the shit that they gotta go through on a daily basis, bruh It's like, fucking, y'all not getting compensated at all Niggas is barely getting by, bro Shit is fucking sad Donald Trump's sad But then they could be all caps on the exclamation Sad! Bruh See, man, see, there's some nush shit going on, bruh The fuck is going on, man? Too much It's that wire he got on It's because you're talking too loud in this shit, see? See that shit right there? See, you're talking too loud, nigga Alright, whatever Let's move on to Black Joy Let's get to this episode, yeah What?

that's like these are the black folks That get put on the pedestal and get like Don't be like them Yeah like you know what I'm saying Like niggas who really support this White supremacist society bruh Like you teaming up with the police The group that is known for terrorizing black folks Especially across this nation bruh Especially at this moment in history You feel me like at this moment Like fucking protesting the police brutality Spike Lee is like I'm gonna make a better campaign for it I know why I watch Spike Lee Trying to make a movie But I'll cap her nigga in five years too Hey he said I would do you a better nigga You go protest against it I'm gonna make a marketing campaign for it Fucking pig bruh That's some op ass shit bruh You making money off of black death Essentially You making that's what you are You know what I'm saying Like you ain't no better than Fuck Spike Lee bruh You ain't no, yeah Fuck bruh Like how I be feeling bruh Like you know like both the fields That we work in It's probably gonna lead to us Meeting a lot of these people That we talk about but like bruh You will op you will op Period plain blank bruh You know where I stand bruh Like I'm not gonna And it's like bruh these people are There's no way you're that Oblivious to what's going on There's no way you're that naive You know exactly what you're doing bruh By teaming up with NYPD Period plain blank bruh I mean people wasn't fucking with him After he made a shirac Like people in Chicago was hell mad People was running up on him Type shit you know Like the way he Essentially has just Made money and commodified All the black pain story You feel me or the black struggle Like he's commodified and sold it And made his bag off of it I'm trying to choose my words carefully here But it's like you should be able to like Talk about it right Like is it about the way you go about doing it Cause I feel like in shirac people will upset That there weren't many Chicago folks Involved and they was like this ain't our story You know what I'm saying it's like If you do that If you don't even tap in with the people That you represent Or like you're trying to represent Via your movie Then you want some other shit Yeah you're not You're not sending them in the people Yeah but I'm like You know what I'm saying Like you should be able to make a movie Sending them in the people Facts But if you ain't sending them in the people You know what I'm saying Actually you don't have the people In the movie Or having them helping you Like they're not in your writer's room Then that's the problem You know what I'm saying Or sending them like Sending them in the families You feel me or like really telling the story And it's like if you're making money In my opinion if you're making money off of like Homicide victims That's what shirac was about right What are you doing For the people who've been killed Or the families you know Shit like that Like you're trying to help out Or you're just making your money off of it You feel me that's why I like I was upset after Just like the Super Bowl You know it's like They had you know the Black Panther Beyonce did the whole Black Panther thing right I was just like bro Like you got hella panthers down right now You feel me and it's like This black militancy has been co-opted Right in a lot of ways By someone just making hella bread off of it You know so it's like You can do that But also A what are you doing type shit Like are you talking about the panthers Who are still locked up right now Are you funding black radicals I don't even know any of them Probably wouldn't know their names bro To be honest Yeah so it's like This is something that People I would say Who are high up in the movement I guess are doing There's people who are Making you know celebrities are doing Making money people like Bruh Kaepernick's been black bald And not many people are speaking out about that shit You had How many people you had taken a knee That's what I'm saying So you got all these folks Who just like claimed to be about All the shit they talk about But it's like Who claimed to be about This revolutionary shit Who claimed to want black liberation But like none of their actions are aligning With what black liberation looks like Exactly So it's like what is your free Like what is So now it's like Okay we obviously got two ideas Well it's cause we in this quote on quote Woke trademark movement You feel me So you got all this woke You know all this woke trademark shit And essentially it's just like Woke has become a commodity Right Being somewhat political Has become a commodity Where it's been weaponized right So you have these struggles Of these very radical black militants Essentially being co-opted Their aesthetic being used But you're not supporting black Radical militants right now That's the issue Oh my god it's so sad because like Black folks want liberation Like I'm not speaking about the folks That you're talking about I'm talking like the niggas That we'd be around like Black folks want something to believe in bro And people are fucking taking advantage Of manipulating the fuck out of us bro Yeah That's all it is bro I remember earlier on in like My teachings and my learnings bro I was like falling for all this shit bro And so I started to see like Even these niggas is like Once you would learn how to see What the system is And how it functions And the different levels and players Then you start to be able to like Okay assign fucking labels to people Like hold on you do exactly What this person do Like literally you gotta realize That like just because you look like me Don't mean you on my team Like it's hard Early on to think that like damn Black folks Like there are some black folks Who align with whites There's a what? Yeah I mean a lot of people It's hard to like Process that when you first You know Like you think that everyone Can relate to your struggle Yeah You know what I'm saying Yeah you see like the performative Yeah The performance of I guess like black cultural shit Right And you caught up in words right Yeah you see Obama You know like That viral shit on Vine Of him shaking the white dude's hands And then LeBron Daps him up Like people are Oh shit Obama hella cool But that nigga just dropped Hella bombs You know what I'm saying So I think it's important If you just That's like what you say Like judge people by their actions If you take their actions Write it down on a piece of paper You know And just like put a random As name on it Like damn this nigga Just 200,000 for the police He didn't put any He didn't consult with any Of the victims Or like any poor black people In Chicago When you made this movie Right Um You just like continue To work down the list Like damn this nigga is Facts So I think And you can do that You can do that with Hella black leaders right Even look at Beyonce I love Beyonce so much Oh my god just Oh fuck I'm embarrassed to say this Fuck Fuck Speak it Look at Beyonce right If she doing All this black panther shit But then she's not Putting any money On these motherfuckers books She not lobbying to get Any of them pardoned To get any of them on parole She ain't saying free Jalil You know what I'm saying It's like ah Like why not Throw a shirt of all the Political prisoners On why you perform You feel me But It is what it is man Like I said I love you Damn I hurt I hurt to say that You alright? Yeah bro I think I'm gonna be alright Here Take some head I'll be alright You know I got I don't even know if it's I'm not even gonna say it Nevermind I'm done I'm upset too much already I hope to be half We on video now Yeah Niggah you already did it The last episode For real we had bottles in that one Yeah we had some pure white Man it just be like Niggas be on this Respectability politics shit Like I Before I drink this pure white Cause I'm going drinking I don't give a fuck Recently I've seen some shit where Somebody at a school was saying that They don't want to see grills in Cause it's a dental hazard Niggah I wear a grill when I teach It's a dental hazard Niggah what the fuck Niggah that's like saying I don't want to You're not worried about kids eating candy In that greasy ass processed food You sell them You giving your kids Jolly Ranchers for being quiet in class Like just go ahead and say it That black boys with grills And black kids with grills Scare you Just go ahead and say that Just go ahead and say that That's a trigger for you Don't say it's a dental hazard Who the fuck you think you're talking to Kids Niggah look like We were adults in this room Bruh Bruh Like I was on this retreat today With my students Bruh And we asked this white lady That was our mistake First mistake We asked this white lady to Take a photo of us all You feel me And then we take one You know funny one And then we take like Just fucking around We're just like Going like this Everybody going like this She's like Are you sure you want to be Throwing up those hand signs She's just like Like She's like What does that mean And I said Black lives matter And you know what like Scares me sometimes about Like I often fear like All the white people That are like comfortable by me Especially in my workplace And like I don't be like They know my politics in there Like I'd be checking I'd be saying shit I'd be speaking what's on my mind Like all this shit right But like I kind of I think that like they like Fucking like Glorify that And if they ever seen it in real time Like if they seen the niggas That I hang around If they see the communities that I've been I think it would change Where they look at me And like that's what like I I feel like Not I feel like I know for a fact that Well how white folks See Like Um It's okay to have like Two black people Yeah like I feel like When they even talk about Yeah you know we want We want liberation We want to dismantle the system We want black kids to be free But like they want to They want to put boundaries And Limitations on to whatever They want to just They want to fucking define Freedom For us For black folks That's not freedom at all You know what I'm saying So when they talk about like You know Not seeing color And all that bullshit bro It's just like What do you mean bro Like you don't really want Me to be my true self You don't want that You want me to be The way that's comfortable And fitting for you Bro they say they don't see color I'm like how'd you get to work With all these stoplights Yo shit would be in the hospital Right now shut the fuck up But it's just like Bro it's so sad like Especially you hear like You like right now bro What's popular in schools Is saying like Oh we want to dismantle the system We want to fight white supremacy You know we want to Liberate black folks But it's like Yo liberation has limits on it Like you trying to tell motherfuckers That they can wear grills to school First of all Trying to tell girls How they should dress Like this and that like bro Come on fam I'm not with that shit bro I'm not with it at all I don't respect it I'm sick of it bro I don't really give a fuck About opinions of settlers Like you stole this land I don't care Thanks Like nah Like we on Native American land Bro We on our lonely land right now Like what do people What are they doing To support natives What are they doing To support black people It's cool to talk about Black people It's cool to say liberation This liberation that But then Are you going to advocate For a black kid To not be suspended at your school You know Are you going to advocate for them To get

I think it's the point We have these conversations You feel me Because if we don't have The conversations We ain't learning from it So I don't know It's shit white We have about 40 minutes in now bro
