Man, just 58 00:04:51.480 --> 00:04:58.040 so grateful to the People God put in my life, the Um, the 59 00:04:58.199 --> 00:05:03.800 people that he removed from my life and just the doors that God is opening 60 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:10.720 right now, now, today, on my birthday, I wanted to I 61 00:05:10.839 --> 00:05:16.000 heard a song the other day that Um started me to thinking, and that's 62 00:05:16.040 --> 00:05:21.720 something that I think that we need to get back to. Um. We 63 00:05:21.839 --> 00:05:28.560 need to get back to love. We need to get back to love people, 64 00:05:30.079 --> 00:05:35.839 love for your fellow man, love for your family, love for your 65 00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:45.319 neighbor, love for your brothers and sisters, love for your community, most 66 00:05:45.399 --> 00:05:51.399 importantly, love for yourself. Well, Oh, what you mean? I 67 00:05:51.480 --> 00:05:54.560 mean? I mean, I mean give it to love, how I mean 68 00:05:57.079 --> 00:05:58.920 I love, how I love. You know, I know most of us 69 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:00.199 are probably sitting and thinking right O. Well, I love everybody, you 70 00:06:00.279 --> 00:06:04.439 know. But we need to get back to it, because love is a 71 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:09.319 very simple thing. It's not just the words, it's not a fool out 72 00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.279 of word. It's just not something that we feel that makes us feel all 73 00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:17.199 quickly in our warm and fuzzy inside and all of that right there. You 74 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.639 know, that love feeling that you get and get chest or in the pit 75 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:28.079 of your stomach or whatnot. But love is an action. Love is an 76 00:06:28.240 --> 00:06:31.199 action, it's something that you do, is something that we do. We 77 00:06:31.360 --> 00:06:40.040 as people, we as human beings, that we do and we need to 78 00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:45.079 get back to that. Love is a very, very simple thing to do. 79 00:06:48.120 --> 00:06:53.319 We need to get back to taking the time to love each other. 80 00:06:53.360 --> 00:07:01.600 Man, I each day that I may scroll through social media or on the 81 00:07:01.800 --> 00:07:08.040 news or something of that particular nature, I just see so much hate, 82 00:07:10.360 --> 00:07:15.920 so much hate, and I'm starting to see a whole lot more of and 83 00:07:15.079 --> 00:07:18.759 and and I'm disturbed by it and I'm actually going to do an episode I'm 84 00:07:18.759 --> 00:07:24.079 currently under construction about this specific solely and specifically to this particular type. But 85 00:07:24.079 --> 00:07:30.040 I'm starting to see a whole lot of hate from black men toward black women 86 00:07:32.040 --> 00:07:39.120 and I'm appollered by that. That just rubs me completely the wrong way. 87 00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:44.199 I mean just just in every corner crevices of my soul. It rubs me 88 00:07:44.319 --> 00:07:47.680 the wrong way, just for the hate and the victory. All I'm starting 89 00:07:47.720 --> 00:07:56.720 to see more and more of from black men toward black women. The Hell, 90 00:08:01.279 --> 00:08:11.600 the hell. I saw um a video recently from this little guy on 91 00:08:11.360 --> 00:08:16.519 talking about, uh yeah, we don't like black women. You know, 92 00:08:16.000 --> 00:08:20.160 you heard the saying, if it ain't snowing, we ain't going. And 93 00:08:20.360 --> 00:08:26.360 he goes on to say a whole bunch of more UH foolishness. But okay, 94 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.800 you're entitled to like whatever it is that you like. You're entitled to 95 00:08:31.920 --> 00:08:35.759 love whoever you want to love, date whoever you want to date, and 96 00:08:35.000 --> 00:08:39.559 so forth. You're entitled to do all of that, but in the process 97 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:46.120 of that, it's a it's completely unnecessary for you to step on the mean 98 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:56.639 and undermine those that you don't want to be involved with. What good is 99 00:08:56.679 --> 00:08:58.360 it? What? What? What are you getting out of it? For? 100 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:05.080 H You're saying that you don't want to date or be with a black 101 00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:09.080 woman, but you want to step on her and dog her in the process 102 00:09:09.120 --> 00:09:16.200 of doing so. Where does that come from? What? What? What 103 00:09:16.279 --> 00:09:22.039 does that mean? How? How? How does that make it make sense, 104 00:09:22.039 --> 00:09:24.440 because that man if there ain't math and to me in any shape, 105 00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:31.679 for more fashion, and that's nothing I mean by we'll say we got to 106 00:09:31.679 --> 00:09:35.960 get back to being to love. I mean because it just it's it. 107 00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.480 It appaused me and it really bothers me. Just that's the love that I 108 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:45.879 see, I mean the the hate and victory all that I see coming from 109 00:09:45.919 --> 00:09:52.840 so many black men to black women. Sister, Um, just so recently, 110 00:09:52.840 --> 00:09:58.879 a sister that was a therapist, you know, Um, because some 111 00:09:58.120 --> 00:10:03.279 men didn't like her delivery, you know, and stating that they needed to 112 00:10:03.679 --> 00:10:09.440 deal with their issues or childhood Traumas, that they needed to go to therapy. 113 00:10:11.000 --> 00:10:15.639 And since they didn't want to hear that, I like that, they 114 00:10:15.799 --> 00:10:26.879 went as far as to Um, getting her fired. Yeah, getting her 115 00:10:26.960 --> 00:10:37.480 fired, which is the craziest thing, because they didn't like her delivery. 116 00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:52.000 Yeah, yeah, but they only set her up for a great comeback. 117 00:10:52.759 --> 00:10:54.639 They only set her up to be able to be released from the people. 118 00:10:54.679 --> 00:10:58.000 That what she was working for. She she can go into private practice on 119 00:10:58.080 --> 00:11:01.720 our own now and do our own things. But, gentlemen, if you 120 00:11:01.799 --> 00:11:05.720 didn't want to, if you didn't didn't like her delivery, why? Why? 121 00:11:05.759 --> 00:11:11.600 It cost her her her business or her means of being able to provide 122 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:18.039 for her family. Makes no sense. But this is what we're seeing more 123 00:11:18.080 --> 00:11:22.559 and more of. But that sister is gonna be already. That sister is 124 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:24.159 gonna, Gona, gonna come back. That the commack that she's gonna have. 125 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:28.879 It's gonna be troum it's gonna be Great. It is going to be 126 00:11:28.039 --> 00:11:43.440 great. But again for me is that's unnecessary. Why? Because you didn't 127 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:46.039 like what she said in how she said. Now it's a problem with you 128 00:11:46.480 --> 00:11:50.279 and a great number of view to go forth and look her up and somebody 129 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:54.519 put her information, her name, her address and her allegers for her place 130 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:58.519 of business, all on uh, you know, the Internet and everything like 131 00:11:58.639 --> 00:12:03.320 that. Something could have happened to her. But again, that's that's a 132 00:12:03.399 --> 00:12:07.559 different topic. That's something else I'm going to definitely revisit in another episode, 133 00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:11.879 and that episode is going to be coming. So if it's not our next 134 00:12:11.919 --> 00:12:16.600 episode, it would definitely be fourth episode, episode four. I am going 135 00:12:16.679 --> 00:12:20.759 to deep dive into that. I am going to jump head first into that. 136 00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:22.799 We're gonna get to the bottom and I need to I need to ask 137 00:12:22.879 --> 00:12:31.639 the question why. Why is that we are seeing so many black men hating, 138 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:35.879 dogging, undermining, despising, whatever adjective that you want to use, 139 00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:41.240 are black women. That's gonna because that is going to be questioned. I 140 00:12:41.279 --> 00:12:46.559 am going to pose. But right now we need to get back to love. 141 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:50.519 We need to get back to helping each other, we need to get 142 00:12:50.559 --> 00:12:56.120 back to taking care of each other, we need to get back to serving 143 00:12:56.159 --> 00:13:03.279 each other, we need to get back to love and own each other because 144 00:13:03.320 --> 00:13:07.320 at the end of the day, regardless whether it's by blood or not, 145 00:13:07.720 --> 00:13:16.039 we are family. We are still family, no matter how you look at 146 00:13:16.080 --> 00:13:18.879 it, no matter how you spend it, whether your blood your blood related 147 00:13:18.039 --> 00:13:26.320 or not. Our Skin may look different on the outside, eye color may 148 00:13:26.360 --> 00:13:31.679 look different, our hair texture may be different, but we're still family. 149 00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:37.799 The same blood runs through my veins, runs through you, through each and 150 00:13:37.840 --> 00:13:46.679 every less one of your veins. The genetic code may be different as far 151 00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:50.440 as who help them create me, but still that doesn't mean that we're not 152 00:13:50.559 --> 00:14:01.240 family. And family loves each other, family helps each other, family takes 153 00:14:01.320 --> 00:14:11.600 care of each other, family uplifts each other and more, and we got 154 00:14:11.720 --> 00:14:18.039 to get back to that h we gotta get back to loving each other. 155 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:24.759 This world needs love right now more than anything, because there's so much hate 156 00:14:24.799 --> 00:14:35.000 in it. And how can you sit there and see it day in and 157 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:43.440 day out and it not bother you? It bothers me completely each day that 158 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:46.519 I see it. It does something to my heart, it does something to 159 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:58.240 my soul each day that I see it. Let's not just talk about it, 160 00:14:58.360 --> 00:15:01.720 my people, let's be about it. Yeah, let's get back to 161 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:18.200 love. Let's get back to love.

Let's step up and do it, but it's gonna Start. 164 00:15:33.320 --> 00:15:37.600 It has to start with us and to start with each of US individually. 165 00:15:37.519 --> 00:15:41.440 So we need to we each need to take a look inside inside of 166 00:15:41.639 --> 00:15:48.840 us, inside the core of us, and find that and began to live 167 00:15:48.960 --> 00:16:02.879 that and began to spread that.
