13
00:00:56.039 --> 00:00:59.000
Listen, I'm gonna jump straight into
it. Cousins and kind folks. I

14
00:00:59.119 --> 00:01:06.120
saw a video today that and I've
seen several of them. Uh yea.

15
00:01:06.599 --> 00:01:10.359
For those who know you know how
I feel about bullying. Y'all know how

16
00:01:10.400 --> 00:01:15.719
I feel about bullets. I can't
stand bullets. They can't stand anybody who

17
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.560
feel that they have to have to
take the time or have the need or

18
00:01:19.599 --> 00:01:25.200
the inkling to the mean someone to
be little, someone to be rate someone,

19
00:01:25.920 --> 00:01:30.319
and any shape, form or fashion, whether it's physically, verbally,

20
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:36.280
emotionally, or intellectually, it doesn't
matter to me how whatever form it is,

21
00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.560
I despise it completely in every shape, form and fashion of it.

22
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:46.719
I can't stand bullets. What do
you get out of it? Nothing?

23
00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:51.439
For whatever twisted purpose that they do
that it that it comes to in your

24
00:01:51.480 --> 00:01:55.840
mind I'm talking to you, bullets
right now. Whatever, whatever inkling that

25
00:01:55.879 --> 00:01:57.719
it comes to you in your minds, what goes through that? What satisfaction

26
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.560
do you give? It doesn't make
you feel good to do so, doesn't

27
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:07.079
make you feel powerful. It's this
retaliation possibly for him, you being picked

28
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:10.400
on when you were younger, or
being or being dogged to be little by

29
00:02:10.520 --> 00:02:14.560
those who in a thirty figures you, maybe in your family, like your

30
00:02:14.599 --> 00:02:19.000
parents, or something with that particular
nature, so you decide to take it

31
00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:23.599
out on everybody else. Is that
the case? Is this something that's taught?

32
00:02:23.520 --> 00:02:27.759
It's this a learned Well, it's
definitely a learned behavior, because none

33
00:02:27.800 --> 00:02:30.159
of us comes out to be bullies. So this is a learned behavior.

34
00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:34.960
But the video I was talking about
here a little earlier. I'm sorry I

35
00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:38.159
got sidetrack. Y'all know how I
am and how passionate I get when it

36
00:02:38.159 --> 00:02:43.759
comes to talking about bullies go it's
just can't stand'em. I just can't.

37
00:02:44.439 --> 00:02:50.479
But this video I saw you really
disturbed me. So there was a

38
00:02:50.479 --> 00:02:53.400
young black kid, a teenager fourteen
years old, got invited to come out

39
00:02:53.439 --> 00:02:59.240
and hang out with four of his
friends. Now, as I understand from

40
00:02:59.240 --> 00:03:00.919
this video and this story, all
of these friends were Caucasian. These all

41
00:03:00.960 --> 00:03:05.000
of these kids went to school together, so they all lived roughly in the

42
00:03:05.039 --> 00:03:09.840
same neighborhood community wherever. But they
all live in proximity of each other.

43
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:15.199
But all got to or asked to
come hang out with them at the lake.

44
00:03:15.879 --> 00:03:21.039
So they went to this like to
do. So one of these friends

45
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:28.120
decided to get upon himself to not
only belittle and be raped said friends that

46
00:03:28.199 --> 00:03:31.199
they and that he invited. They
took it upon himself too when they get

47
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:37.840
in the water to attempt to drown
him. Yes, you heard me right,

48
00:03:37.919 --> 00:03:44.199
cousins and king folks. He attempted
to drown this young man. And

49
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:50.400
so the others were standing by looking
and not do anything to help. They're

50
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:54.680
laughing about it, but just so
happened. There was a bystander there also

51
00:03:55.400 --> 00:04:00.080
who heard the young man screaming and
asking for help, and he came to

52
00:04:00.120 --> 00:04:04.000
assist. Now, the other three
what they claimed that that was just nothing.

53
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:09.240
They were just playing, But he
was literally try to drown this young

54
00:04:09.280 --> 00:04:17.319
man, and so the authorities were
called. There was an investigation. Shouldn't

55
00:04:17.319 --> 00:04:24.480
have been much of an investigation.
Parents were involved, of course, and

56
00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:31.199
these this young man who attempted to
drown him was arrested. I can't remember

57
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:35.160
the charges right now. I'll be
sure to ensure that I find out those

58
00:04:35.240 --> 00:04:42.920
exact charges. But the main charge
that I listened for that I didn't hear

59
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.519
was not he was not charged with
it. Because everything about this goes back

60
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:54.199
to say so now, I don't
like to make everything about race, but

61
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:59.319
a lot of what's happening in this
country nowadays is race related. We can't

62
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:03.879
avoid that. There's nowhere around that
conversation. There's nowhere around that. When

63
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:09.160
we see more and more of it
again each and every day, there's nowhere

64
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:19.120
around that. But I didn't read
hate crime. You did this because of

65
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.720
the de meaning names, because I'm
not gonna say what it was called,

66
00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:26.959
but we all know, right,
because it's the kind folks we all know

67
00:05:27.160 --> 00:05:29.720
I was. Ah, I don't
have to say it, but we all

68
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:34.199
know what he was called by this
young man and then attempted to be drowned

69
00:05:34.600 --> 00:05:46.040
on top of that brilliant that was
his sole purpose of inviting him there,

70
00:05:46.720 --> 00:05:59.240
to demean him, to ridicule him, to attempt to drown him. And

71
00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:03.800
I'm sure, and I think the
most high that this young man did not

72
00:06:03.959 --> 00:06:09.279
lose his life, that somebody was
there enough to see and hear him his

73
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:15.079
cries, his pleas for help and
came to help him. I'm grateful for

74
00:06:15.120 --> 00:06:24.079
that. But had not that said
person been there, what would have happened?

75
00:06:25.759 --> 00:06:27.800
And I'm more than show we'd have
got a whole lot of the same.

76
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:30.920
Oh he slipped, Oh it didn't
mean to. Oh I felt that

77
00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:35.279
I was in danger. Yeah.
I get get tired of here in those

78
00:06:35.279 --> 00:06:46.319
same excuses and then they go for
that foolishness. Where as black men as

79
00:06:46.360 --> 00:06:49.800
black people period. But I'm right
now, I'm talking about my black brother

80
00:06:49.839 --> 00:06:56.759
my brothers. We're always made out
to be the most violent people in the

81
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:00.519
word that we're so violent that we're
a danger, that they're afraid of us.

82
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:05.639
But when it comes to violence,
it's not us who's always so violent.

83
00:07:08.639 --> 00:07:17.240
It's the palm color. It's not
us always. It's not us.

84
00:07:20.639 --> 00:07:29.639
But they have no reason to only
because of how we look. And that

85
00:07:29.720 --> 00:07:34.519
just burns me up on so many
different levels. How can you not dislike?

86
00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:45.199
How can you hate hate hate a
person because of the color of their

87
00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:47.279
skin. You have no other reason
to do so. You know nothing about

88
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.839
them personally, You don't know how
they grew up, where they grew up,

89
00:07:51.560 --> 00:07:54.800
or if they have a disdain for
you, And then to say form

90
00:07:54.800 --> 00:07:59.759
of fashion that doesn't matter to you
at that moment, you immediately dislike them

91
00:08:00.000 --> 00:08:11.560
because of their color. That It's
sad, But that's the state of this

92
00:08:11.759 --> 00:08:22.839
country that we live in right now
called the United States. We're finding ourselves

93
00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:33.000
repeating history. We're finding ourselves doing
so we cannot allow that to happen.

94
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:39.039
Cousins again, folks, we are
not going back to what was before,

95
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:46.480
although the powers that be are doing
everything they can tend to do so now

96
00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:50.399
I'm not gonna get into politics and
anything of that particular nature. Yall know

97
00:08:50.440 --> 00:08:52.960
that it's not my ram. That's
not my forte. That's not what I

98
00:08:52.080 --> 00:09:03.919
do. But I'm gonna have We're
gonna have some conversation about that in this

99
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:07.960
season of currently under construction. I'm
gonna have a get a couple of guests

100
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:13.759
on who that is their realm of
business, that is their forte, that

101
00:09:15.000 --> 00:09:16.879
is what they do and what they
talk about, and they're gonna give us

102
00:09:16.879 --> 00:09:22.960
a whole lot of insight or what's
going on in this country and what we

103
00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:28.600
can do, what we need to
do to step up. But I digress.

104
00:09:30.279 --> 00:09:35.000
So this young man who committed this
violent act and these others that stood

105
00:09:35.000 --> 00:09:39.399
around with him, there weren't charges
of adults, they were charges of juveniles,

106
00:09:41.440 --> 00:09:50.799
but was immediately released until his parents'
custody. You committed something so horrendous

107
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:56.759
to the point that they they they
homo told you but attempted homicide. But

108
00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:03.080
you have been released until your parent's
custody not to come in contact with this

109
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:07.519
young man, that anybody in his
family and going forward. But then was

110
00:10:07.600 --> 00:10:16.519
that s what does their teacher said
individual about his about his actions? Seeing

111
00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:20.759
for me in a situation like that, that lets them know that what he

112
00:10:20.840 --> 00:10:24.080
did was okay. Although he got
in trouble, but what he did was

113
00:10:24.120 --> 00:10:28.600
okay that there would never be in
their consequences or repercussions for his actions.

114
00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:33.519
So going forward in the future,
and I'm gonna try to keep an eye

115
00:10:33.559 --> 00:10:37.720
on this, this particular story,
cousins and kin folks were going forward in

116
00:10:37.720 --> 00:10:41.960
the future. That means he will
then probably develop the mind said that,

117
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.519
Oh, regardless or whatever I do, I can get away with it because

118
00:10:46.559 --> 00:10:52.559
I'm the right pigmentation to do so. So yeah, I can I can

119
00:10:52.600 --> 00:11:05.519
do that. I can do that. Bullies again, y'a've heard me say

120
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:09.159
this before. They always running packs. They always know who to pick on,

121
00:11:09.879 --> 00:11:13.000
see for those that they've deemed weak, and then it's some some shape

122
00:11:13.000 --> 00:11:16.720
form or fashion. These are the
ones that they pick on. But then

123
00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:18.679
they never do it individually. They
never do it alone. It's always in

124
00:11:18.799 --> 00:11:28.039
packs. I aligned h bullies to
a pack of hyenas. If you all

125
00:11:28.120 --> 00:11:33.000
know from school history, if you
watch the Animal Channel or Discovery or whatever

126
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.600
the case may be, you know
hyenas running packs. But if you catch

127
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:41.679
any one of'em individually, you'll
run them off scared as all outdoors.

128
00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:46.320
But when it's four or five of
them together, Oh, they build a

129
00:11:46.320 --> 00:11:52.679
badass then, Oh yeah, they
they're ready to run up on you,

130
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:56.879
especially if they catch you by yourself. Oh they're ready to run up on

131
00:11:56.919 --> 00:12:01.120
you. Oh they're ready to stand
out big, especially that lead one who's

132
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:07.279
just as scary as the rest of
them. But that's how bullies run.

133
00:12:07.879 --> 00:12:13.759
They always run in packs. They
always need a yes man, a yes

134
00:12:13.960 --> 00:12:18.440
man or somebody the key key or
co signed with the foolishness that they're doing.

135
00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:33.360
Had a really good friend and I
was trying to use that kind of

136
00:12:33.399 --> 00:12:35.679
using that word loosely, but they
were this person and this person I know

137
00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:46.120
and I have always had a pretty
good associate ship. But they had a

138
00:12:46.279 --> 00:12:54.919
nice ongoing business on the internet,
and they were bullied into the point on

139
00:12:56.000 --> 00:13:03.320
the Internet that was appointed they had
to shut down their site and and think

140
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:05.679
of another stream of uh uh avenue. They had to shut down their social

141
00:13:05.679 --> 00:13:13.480
media presence which helped their business,
because they were being bullied because some troll

142
00:13:13.639 --> 00:13:18.840
decided to because they wouldn't give them
any attention, They decided to make this

143
00:13:18.960 --> 00:13:24.360
person's life miserable and attacking them and
always putting something negative on their their business

144
00:13:24.360 --> 00:13:30.320
site or uh in their social media
uh platform, or they're taking their likeness

145
00:13:30.320 --> 00:13:33.519
and and doing all the all different
kinds of vulgar things with their ownline.

146
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:37.720
And when this person asked them,
can you remove my likeness? Can you

147
00:13:37.759 --> 00:13:41.679
removed it from what you're doing?
This person told them it's the end of

148
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.440
that. I can do whatever I
want to. Blank you and blank you

149
00:13:46.559 --> 00:13:50.159
and blank you. Now what you're
gonna do about it? See, it's

150
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:54.320
foolishness like that. See these especially
these keyboard uh bullets. Oh, they

151
00:13:54.440 --> 00:13:58.440
they really killed me. Because then
you're big and bold, you can say

152
00:13:58.480 --> 00:14:03.039
whatever you can hand behind a keyboard
because you figure no want to know where

153
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:05.320
you are. Nobody'll really can't identify
you. They don't know why I am.

154
00:14:05.399 --> 00:14:09.559
They can't find me. Never say
never, because somebody people can if

155
00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.080
they put the energy to do so. But some of these people don't want

156
00:14:13.120 --> 00:14:18.200
to. They don't want to deal
with that foolishness because it's it's it goes

157
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:24.320
nowhere. Who wants to put negative
energy back into something that's already negative?

158
00:14:24.639 --> 00:14:30.720
Who wants to take the time to
deal with people who they'll never lay her

159
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:37.000
eye on at all? But then
I go back and ask why are you

160
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:43.960
getting out from this person and you
doing so because again this particular individual,

161
00:14:45.559 --> 00:14:50.960
he got mad because she didn't give
him any attention or she did not his

162
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.639
advances, so he decided to try
to bully at her. But see,

163
00:14:56.679 --> 00:14:58.279
this is this, this is the
thing that I'm seeing more and more of

164
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:05.600
cousins and king folks with with with
a lot of young men doing so.

165
00:15:05.840 --> 00:15:07.320
Now this is gonna be I'm I'm
gonna touch based on this a little bit,

166
00:15:07.360 --> 00:15:11.799
but this is definitely gonna be another
episode coming up here on currently under

167
00:15:11.799 --> 00:15:18.240
construction next week. Some of these
young men, when they don't get what

168
00:15:18.320 --> 00:15:24.440
they want, they don't know how
to accept the word no or a person

169
00:15:26.440 --> 00:15:30.759
saying hey, no, it's okay, I'm I'm not interested. They then

170
00:15:30.879 --> 00:15:35.440
in turn want to begin to be
little, said woman. And I've I've

171
00:15:35.480 --> 00:15:37.960
not only just seen on the internet, I've seen this in person. I've

172
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:43.759
seen this in the workplace. That
they'll try to uh approach and and and

173
00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:48.480
and holler young this this this woman
and this woman tell them and not the

174
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:50.720
rude way, Hey you know what, I think you could, but I'm

175
00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.120
not interested. They don't want to
hear that. Then they in turn want

176
00:15:54.120 --> 00:15:58.600
to begin to be little and be
rate this woman, call it out of

177
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.080
her name and whatnot, and she
didn't want to begin a smear campaign going

178
00:16:02.159 --> 00:16:04.759
forward. You want to, then
now to become a bullet to this person

179
00:16:06.080 --> 00:16:11.919
because they were not interested. They
have the right to say I am not

180
00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:21.360
interested. There are other there are
other women out there, women right now.

181
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:27.200
From the last numbers that I saw
right now, women outweigh men thirty

182
00:16:27.200 --> 00:16:37.360
to one for this one that turns
you down there twenty nine more. Chief,

183
00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:40.600
she wasn't interested. Okay, then
go go go holler at you another

184
00:16:40.639 --> 00:16:45.919
one slim, But for you at
that particular moment, because this woman said

185
00:16:45.960 --> 00:16:48.960
no, in your mind, you're
saying, how dare she's tell you know?

186
00:16:48.279 --> 00:16:52.720
How dare she rejects you. I'm
gonna fix her. I'm gonna begin

187
00:16:52.799 --> 00:17:00.639
to bullet her. I'm gonna smear
her name for what for what? Man?

188
00:17:00.960 --> 00:17:08.960
Grow up, all you bullies.
You need to grow up. But

189
00:17:10.079 --> 00:17:11.880
most of you bullies think that you
can do these things and then there are

190
00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:19.480
no consequences. There are consequences,
whether it be by that person, whether

191
00:17:19.480 --> 00:17:23.079
it be by someone else, or
whether it be by law enforcement. There

192
00:17:23.119 --> 00:17:41.400
are consequences. That's unavoidable. That's
unavoidable period. I need you people to

193
00:17:41.519 --> 00:17:45.519
sit and take a good hard look
you bullies I'm talking to right now,

194
00:17:45.599 --> 00:17:49.039
if you try to take a good
hard look at yourselves, because guess what

195
00:17:52.119 --> 00:17:55.920
if you put yourself in one of
these situations bullying somebody, you run across

196
00:17:55.920 --> 00:18:00.559
the wrong one, you can't do
and become you can't then in turn play

197
00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:12.559
the victim, because this is a
situation you created. Cousins and kin folks,

198
00:18:12.599 --> 00:18:17.880
if you think that you've run across
somebody who's attempting to bully you,

199
00:18:18.000 --> 00:18:21.240
there are things that you can do
to remove yourself from our situations. You

200
00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:22.720
don't have to deal with them.
You don't have to talk to them,

201
00:18:22.720 --> 00:18:29.680
you don't have to engage them,
because that is the biggest thing that they

202
00:18:29.720 --> 00:18:37.440
can't stand and will infuriate them even
were when you do not engage them,

203
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:44.759
you take all that power from them, take all that power from them.

204
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:47.200
A lot of them don't like if
you turn around, if you flip the

205
00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:52.279
script on them, which I mean
if I'm I'm not condoning that. But

206
00:18:52.400 --> 00:18:56.079
in the event, if you're one
of those people who feel that, okay,

207
00:18:56.240 --> 00:19:00.440
I'm gonna show'em you got the
wrong one. All I'm gonna do

208
00:19:00.440 --> 00:19:03.440
is throw my hands up, cousins
and and can folks him saying, hey,

209
00:19:07.200 --> 00:19:11.359
you reap what you so. That's
what the word says from the most

210
00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:15.279
time. You reap what you so, whether it be good, whether it

211
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:25.400
be bad. So you, bullets, if I were you, I get

212
00:19:25.440 --> 00:19:32.400
somewhere and sat down, chill out, try to enjoy life instead of sitting

213
00:19:32.400 --> 00:19:34.799
here. Want to run around and
be miserable. So you want to make

214
00:19:34.839 --> 00:19:42.119
other people miserable or because you can't
get your weight. It's not about you.

215
00:19:44.400 --> 00:19:49.720
To stop making everything all about you. If you've hurt so for you

216
00:19:49.759 --> 00:19:56.200
bullets that me hear this podcast,
Please take heed to that. Please take

229
00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:07.799
So I know you asked me about
it before I've seen the emails.

230
00:21:08.440 --> 00:21:11.839
Yes, we will be doing our
Christmas giveaway this year. Once again.

231
00:21:14.920 --> 00:21:18.400
I'm thinking of the parameters this year. It may be similar, but it's

232
00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:21.559
probably gonna be a little something different. It's not gonna be anything that you

233
00:21:21.640 --> 00:21:25.880
have to jump through hoops for anything
like that. It will be something simple.

234
00:21:26.799 --> 00:21:33.720
But this year again we plan on
helping and supporting six families. Six

235
00:21:33.759 --> 00:21:40.759
families this year for twenty twenty three, four regionally slash locally, two nationally.

236
00:21:41.200 --> 00:21:48.720
So November be on the lookout for
that information what you have to do

237
00:21:49.559 --> 00:21:57.519
to make yourself available for that giveaway, because again we know it's been hard

238
00:21:57.559 --> 00:22:02.559
on everybody these last few year years, especially with us that uh in the

239
00:22:02.599 --> 00:22:07.400
pattern, you know, being in
the pandemic. I'm been affected by COVID,

240
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:11.640
affected by things being shut down and
whatnot. You know. So it's

241
00:22:11.640 --> 00:22:15.160
been hard on a lot of families, especially at that time of year.

242
00:22:15.200 --> 00:22:22.240
So we want to ensure that we
give our families one less thing to think

243
00:22:22.279 --> 00:22:29.079
about for Christmas, so they don't
have to think about do I have enough

244
00:22:29.079 --> 00:22:33.200
to buy food all the food I
want, or whatever the case may be.

245
00:22:33.480 --> 00:22:38.079
We want as sure that they and
their family and their loved ones have

246
00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:42.640
a great Christmas, because that's what
it's all about. It's all about giving,

247
00:22:44.759 --> 00:22:52.319
sharing and family. You hear me, all right, cousins, Ken

248
00:22:52.400 --> 00:22:53.160
folks, we gonna get ready to
get up out of here. But before

249
00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:56.160
we do, you know our model. Come on, get in here with

the replays and some of our earlier episodes.

256
00:23:22.200 --> 00:23:23.599

because we have five seasons worth for

257
00:23:23.680 --> 00:23:26.799
episodes, over one hundred plus episodes. But if he choose to listen to

258

all of'em, I'm I'm not
opposed to that either. I appreciate you,
