Not only is it Breast Cancer2500:01:34.959 --> 00:01:41.400Awareness Month, it is also domesticviolence Awareness Month. Now, whether we2600:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.920talk about it or not, wedon't talk about it, we slipped up2700:01:44.959 --> 00:01:49.079under the rug, or we justignore it. It is there, It2800:01:49.200 --> 00:01:53.359exists, and a whareness needs tobe brought to it as much as possible.2900:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.000So much happens on so many differentlevels when dealing with domestic violence,3000:02:00.920 --> 00:02:07.360and domestic violence isn't always um physical. Domestic violence also can be mental,3100:02:08.199 --> 00:02:14.719emotional, and so forth. Butfor the most part, regardless to the3200:02:14.759 --> 00:02:17.919fact of whatever form that it flowsin that it comes in, bottom line3300:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.240is it's not cool. Bottom lineis it's not right. Bottom line is3400:02:24.520 --> 00:02:30.520it's a play that's been around aslong as most of us knew, most3500:02:30.560 --> 00:02:36.080of us remember, And um,what I want to try to bring a3600:02:36.199 --> 00:02:42.840light to today is let's stop normalizingit. Well what do you mean,3700:02:42.879 --> 00:02:46.919Oh, well, I'm glad youasked. I'm gonna tell you. Growing3800:02:47.080 --> 00:02:52.400up, a lot of this we'veseen, especially you know, way even3900:02:52.439 --> 00:02:53.879way back in the days, evenbefore you know, most of us,4000:02:53.919 --> 00:03:00.479those of you who are in aGen X bracket along with myself, and4100:03:00.800 --> 00:03:05.879even before you know the baby bummersor whatnot. Um, it was normalized,4200:03:06.000 --> 00:03:08.560it was expected, or it wasput off saying, oh, that's4300:03:08.639 --> 00:03:15.199just a man being a man.Well, no, that doesn't make that4400:03:15.360 --> 00:03:21.360right. It doesn't. It doesn'tmake it right in any shape form of4500:03:21.439 --> 00:03:28.560fashion. And a lot of ussaw this or it was Um may have4600:03:28.560 --> 00:03:34.159grew up in those particular type ofhomes for that particular toxic behavior, and4700:03:36.759 --> 00:03:40.199I think that it was normal.Well, there's nothing normal about that.4800:03:40.280 --> 00:03:45.240And it's a psychle that we definitelyhave to detect the initiative and take the4900:03:45.280 --> 00:03:53.639time to break, because we alreadydeal with a lot throughout days, throughout5000:03:53.680 --> 00:03:58.960each and every day, man andwoman. But it still doesn't give the5100:03:59.080 --> 00:04:04.360right for that man or slash thatwoman and prior to contract with contrary belief,5200:04:05.439 --> 00:04:14.039domestic violence isn't always man on woman. Sometimes it is woman on man.5300:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.439You know something. You probably sitthere scratching your head like wait what5400:04:19.879 --> 00:04:26.279Yeah, sometimes it's woman on manor how can it be put a pin5500:04:26.360 --> 00:04:28.720in that? Right now, I'mgonna come back to that, Okay,5600:04:28.879 --> 00:04:30.560says stay with me, y'all.You already know how I'm gonna do.5700:04:30.600 --> 00:04:33.560Cousins and king folks, y'all knowif I bring something up and say put5800:04:33.560 --> 00:04:35.800a pen in, I'm gonna comefrom a circle back to it, and5900:04:35.800 --> 00:04:40.360I'm gonna tired all together for you. But right now, just walk with6000:04:40.439 --> 00:04:43.519me on this right here, rightnow, because this is a topic that6100:04:43.720 --> 00:04:48.920is um they're in dear to me. This is a topic that um,6200:04:48.959 --> 00:04:55.759I'm an advocate um about, youknow, in promoting awareness to domestic violence,6300:04:56.000 --> 00:05:00.199want to get to stop one ofthose that are stuck in it,6400:05:00.240 --> 00:05:04.759that are trapped in it, toget help because again it comes in so6500:05:04.800 --> 00:05:10.959many different forms. But again weneed to stop normalizing that. Because I6600:05:10.959 --> 00:05:14.560see where I grew up and howI grew up in the neighborhood. I6700:05:14.600 --> 00:05:17.040did see, I saw a lotof it, but at the spite of6800:05:17.040 --> 00:05:23.680the same token and um, howI was brought up. You couldn't do6900:05:23.759 --> 00:05:28.639that in front of me, becausesee, we were talked to protect women7000:05:28.720 --> 00:05:32.720at all costs. I was taughtto protect women, protect your sisters,7100:05:32.920 --> 00:05:36.959protect your older sisters, protect yourmom, protect your grandma, protect your7200:05:36.959 --> 00:05:43.040aunties. So it was a thingfor me to protect the women that were7300:05:43.040 --> 00:05:49.399around me or that I saw fromany type of physical home. I remember,7400:05:49.800 --> 00:05:57.439Um, this guy one of myolder sisters dated, and you know,7500:05:57.560 --> 00:06:00.959now, don't get me wrong,my older sister's older system controul a7600:06:00.000 --> 00:06:03.000hand to her step because that's whotaught me how to defend myself, me7700:06:03.040 --> 00:06:08.000and a couple other of our ofour siblings, but she taught us something7800:06:08.040 --> 00:06:11.279held her ourself. But this guy, and he was much bigger than her.7900:06:11.879 --> 00:06:16.439But I saw him make the attemptto slap because they were arguing.8000:06:16.439 --> 00:06:20.160He made the attempt to slap her, and she lit into him so quick.8100:06:20.279 --> 00:06:24.360He didn't even know what happened withwas coming from or what the heck8200:06:24.480 --> 00:06:30.720was going on. But um,at that moment, he even me seeing8300:06:30.879 --> 00:06:35.040him attempting to hit my sister.I immediately picked up the nearest things that8400:06:35.040 --> 00:06:38.439I could put my hands on,which I saw at that time was a8500:06:38.439 --> 00:06:42.160baseball bet and then't want to gowe wear him out with it. But8600:06:42.199 --> 00:06:45.120now my sister stopped me, youknow, and he went on about his8700:06:45.199 --> 00:06:49.279business or whatever what not, youknow, but she thanked me for um8800:06:49.279 --> 00:06:51.279coming to a riscue. But shewas like, I got that handled,8900:06:51.319 --> 00:06:54.839you know. Don't don't worry aboutthat little brother. You know, I'm9000:06:54.920 --> 00:06:57.800good, I said, But I'mjust doing what I told me to do,9100:06:57.879 --> 00:07:00.360you know, to always protect mysister's mouth. Honestly said, you9200:07:00.399 --> 00:07:02.959can see it, and that's whatyou're supposed to do at all times.9300:07:03.319 --> 00:07:09.959But I got I had him.But um, I digress, y'all.9400:07:11.040 --> 00:07:14.639But it was just the fact ofseeing that at that particular moment and that9500:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.399that that stuck with me. Andso I always have had that mentality to9600:07:18.240 --> 00:07:27.439uh protect the women around me fromdomestic violence. Now, there have been9700:07:27.519 --> 00:07:30.800times and I've seen this on theflip side and it really just blew my9800:07:30.839 --> 00:07:34.519mind. And seeing it, I'veseen it on the flip side of you're9900:07:34.560 --> 00:07:40.720going to step up and protect awoman from domestic violence and she and then10000:07:40.800 --> 00:07:46.839turns on you. Yeah, I'veseen that that she didn't turns on you,10100:07:46.839 --> 00:07:48.279were like, well, why didyou do that? You didn't have10200:07:48.319 --> 00:07:54.639to do that to him. Butpeople that are stuck in those particular type10300:07:54.639 --> 00:07:58.439of situations, I don't know howto get out of that. They're so10400:07:58.560 --> 00:08:05.160used to that particular type toxic uhsit A situation that's a particular type of10500:08:05.240 --> 00:08:11.600toxic environment and relationship that they don'tknow how to get They think that that10600:08:11.639 --> 00:08:20.639person doesn't love them, unless that'sactually happening. But those people still need10700:08:20.680 --> 00:08:28.639help because again that is that there'snothing about that that's right. That's nothing10800:08:28.639 --> 00:08:33.200about that that's right at all.M I've even heard and we need to10900:08:33.200 --> 00:08:37.120get out of this as well.I've even heard it one particular point that11000:08:37.320 --> 00:08:41.679you know, not that I tryto get in any person's business, but11100:08:41.840 --> 00:08:46.559when I hear that, and thisis they'll listen to me good, because11200:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.759it's a kin focusing and I needyou to listen to me good, and11300:08:48.759 --> 00:08:52.000listen to me close and listen tome well. When I've heard before saying11400:08:52.039 --> 00:08:56.399and we need to stop saying this. When and even when people say this,11500:08:56.440 --> 00:09:00.120we still need to try to helpas much as we can. What11600:09:00.240 --> 00:09:03.679happens between that man and that womanis between that man and that woman.11700:09:05.039 --> 00:09:09.159Sometimes that's the case, but ina situation like this, that is not11800:09:09.279 --> 00:09:16.159the case. It's stuff like thatwe need to break. It's that's that's11900:09:16.200 --> 00:09:24.240how those generational curses continue on andgoing forward. That's how they continue on12000:09:24.360 --> 00:09:30.120and keep going forward. True enough, most things between a man and women12100:09:30.159 --> 00:09:33.679betwext is between that man and thatwoman. But if he's beating on her12200:09:33.440 --> 00:09:39.840or she's beating on him, nah, something needs to be done about that.12300:09:39.519 --> 00:09:45.000Awareness is to be brought to thatthat that that that they need help,12400:09:45.440 --> 00:09:50.759because again that's a toxic environment,a toxic situation. And then they'll12500:09:50.799 --> 00:09:56.200affect your children, because if yourchildren see this, they'll begin to think12600:09:56.240 --> 00:10:01.399it's normalized. If your children seethis, they're going to begin to hate12700:10:01.440 --> 00:10:07.159and resent one parent or another,if not both. If your children see12800:10:07.200 --> 00:10:15.960this, and especially if it getsbad, one of these children could end12900:10:16.039 --> 00:10:28.200up intervening and do something real detrimental, especially if it's a sign. Even13000:10:28.200 --> 00:10:33.799a daughter. But they get tiredof saying their mother being attacked, being13100:10:33.840 --> 00:10:37.480beaten on, it everything, andthey'll do what they can just to get13200:10:37.519 --> 00:10:48.519it to stop. Domestic violence isnot cool. Domestic violence is not normal.13300:10:50.039 --> 00:10:58.559Domestic violence it's a toxic, sickeningdisease that we need as a community13400:11:00.080 --> 00:11:05.480as a whole. Cousin's in kingfolks, to cut it out, to13500:11:05.720 --> 00:11:16.279extract it and completely eradicated. Youhear me, Time is out for that.13600:11:16.320 --> 00:11:22.159There is nothing loving about that.There is nothing loving or showing love.13700:11:22.759 --> 00:11:30.320Um, when you have a manor a woman beating the holy heck13800:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.399out of somebody and then you're saying, oh, it's okay, they just13900:11:33.480 --> 00:11:39.080loved me. They didn't mean todo it, Yes they did, Yes14000:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.480they did. If that's love,you to be arguing with me, to14100:11:43.519 --> 00:11:48.639be little in me emotionally, mentally, and physically. On top of that,14200:11:48.279 --> 00:11:52.679and if they're supposed to constitute youloving me, if that you loving14300:11:52.720 --> 00:12:00.240me, hate my guts, seriouslyhate my guts. If that warrants or14400:12:00.440 --> 00:12:05.399that shows you constitute that you're supposedto love me, now m hate me?14500:12:05.519 --> 00:12:13.080Then said hate me now? Becausethat ain't love. Loving is supposed14600:12:13.120 --> 00:12:16.840to hurt like that. Loving issupposed to put bruises on you. Loving14700:12:16.960 --> 00:12:20.360supposed to keep sending you to thehospital. Love ain't supposed to sit there14800:12:20.480 --> 00:12:24.120and have you trying to cover thisup and make excuses to people about what's14900:12:24.159 --> 00:12:28.240going on. Oh, they're goingthrough something. HI didn't mean to do15000:12:28.320 --> 00:12:31.039it. Oh well, I kindof feel I walked into the walls or15100:12:31.080 --> 00:12:35.600whatever the case may be. No, No, that is not love.15200:12:43.200 --> 00:12:48.120Even when we hear people say,well, if they allow them to do15300:12:48.200 --> 00:12:52.960that, then they must want it, because they won't leave. A lot15400:12:54.000 --> 00:12:58.080of times you a person doesn't knowhow to leave, even if they want15500:12:58.120 --> 00:13:07.600to a lot of times they areso stuck into that toxic um situation until15600:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.360they will make excuses about it,they will begin to enable it. It's15700:13:11.399 --> 00:13:18.600sort of like Stockholm syndrome that youget stuck into something and you know what's15800:13:18.600 --> 00:13:22.919not right, and you know what'swrong, and the person have done it15900:13:22.960 --> 00:13:24.960till you, and have done ittill you over and over again, to16000:13:24.120 --> 00:13:30.320your mind begins to rationalize it andbegin to picture and think that it's normal.16100:13:30.600 --> 00:13:33.720To when it stops, you don'tknow how to respond to it,16200:13:33.799 --> 00:13:43.240and you continue on with it becauseyou think it's okay, because you think16300:13:43.240 --> 00:13:50.720that it's normal, But it's not. These people still need help because again,16400:13:50.799 --> 00:14:00.720that is a extremely sick and toxicdisease. That's nothing normal about this,16500:14:00.799 --> 00:14:07.720Cousins and King folks. It needsto be stopped a huge number and16600:14:07.759 --> 00:14:13.600a lot of times it doesn't endup well. There have been a number16700:14:13.639 --> 00:14:16.919that have gotten out of it,and I've and and and I've read and16800:14:16.960 --> 00:14:20.399have heard and have watched some oftheir stories, and I'm just like,16900:14:20.440 --> 00:14:22.759wow, that is you know,to even come out of that and to17000:14:24.639 --> 00:14:28.440you know, still have to gothrough therapy and and moving forward, and17100:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.399to you know, come out onthe other side of the shining light.17200:14:31.440 --> 00:14:35.360I mean, that is just amazingwhen I see these stories of men and17300:14:35.399 --> 00:14:43.039women who have gone through that.But it takes all It takes a lot17400:14:43.120 --> 00:14:46.879in it, and it takes atoll on them.

Me doingit because again, that is not me,17700:15:03.440 --> 00:15:05.279That is not how I roll,That is not my mentality. For17800:15:05.320 --> 00:15:09.639those of you who know me,are those of you that know me personally17900:15:09.799 --> 00:15:11.720or no my mentality or no mypersonality, you know that ain't even me.18000:15:13.759 --> 00:15:16.399I'm all about protection. I'm allabout positivity and everything. But I've18100:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.960never been wanted to do that,and I've never been a victim of it,18200:15:22.279 --> 00:15:24.679but I have been. I doknow what it's like to be in18300:15:24.679 --> 00:15:35.440a toxic relationship that you um enablewhat's going on with it, even though18400:15:35.519 --> 00:15:39.639you know it's not right and youknow it's not good for you. I18500:15:39.679 --> 00:15:46.159do know what that's like. Ido know it's like to arguing with that18600:15:46.200 --> 00:15:48.080person and then you just know overlookit.
