JESS B. Real Podcast

Origin

Many relate to the political and social injustices to racism, but is it really the case? What if the true core to the issues is just as simple as the caste system. In reality, India they're all brown, Germany, they're all white, but America doesn't have a true ORIGIN unless you're apart of the indigenous people. Is the thirst for superiority to humiliate the reason we are where we are? Hmmm..tap in...let's get all the way real!

Hey, it's your girl, Jess B. Vrou and welcome for another dope episode of Jess B. Vrou podcast. Another Sunday and we're here, child, I ain't gonna lie to y'all. I've been tired, child, tired. I don't know, like, I don't know if it's because I'm trying to get back in the swing of the podcasting, trying to balance that and all the other life stuff I got going on and like my relationship and my birthday coming. It's just like, I'm just fatigued and I can't understand why or why I can't find the motivation but I'm pushing through. 'Cause y'all gonna get this episode, okay? Y'all gonna get this episode. I think it's because I had so many prerecorded prior, I've, like, lacked offer, I don't have to do 'em but because I have, like, family coming into town, all this other stuff, I really gotta, like, buckle down and start doing more prerecorded ones so that I can be able to go back and just chill because when I say even if it's like 30 minutes out of the day, 45 minutes, whatever, I'm not trying to rush the podcast, I wanna still have quality and hit every point of what my topics are, so I'm trying to make sure when I'm doing 'em, even if I'm pushing through, I'm not short-changing, y'all. Now, the last episode I had, Plant Momma's with T, y'know, some of y'all tapped in, which I'm grateful for but this episode is just a solo, a solo-dolo 'cause y'all probably missed here in my voice and we're here. Honestly, at some point, I'm not gonna hold y'all. Chelsea's gonna come on here and we'll be giving y'all episode just to give me a little break to kinda reset and recalibrate. She told me she will not tell me what the episode is. I'm gonna find out because she's gonna need me to upload it but I'm giving her the opportunity to do so, even though she's like, "Why would I tell you what it is?" 'Cause it's my damn podcast. It's called Jess be real podcast, not Chelsea's podcast. So she's gonna do one for me that'll probably be one of my episodes I'll use when I kinda like get a week of just grind, grind, grind, get episodes, get y'all together and give y'all quality content and then try to find some other guests I wanna bring in. In this moment in life where I'm at right now, it's very crucial that I'm very particular about who I have on my podcast. I'm very intentional about how I have my podcast 'cause a lot of people, I wanted to help promote their stuff. But sometimes it comes to a point in time where you have to literally do for yourself because others are not giving that same energy to wanna sit here and push you just as far. So I'm realizing that more, I am receiving it and accepting it, I think accepting it is the hardest part because I'm such a giver. And I really wanna focus on me right now and focus on the intentions of allowing those who are going to bring that energy, reciprocate the energy who are going to really want to be in this space with me to allow them to speak their truth. So that's how I'm at, I know it's been a while since the episode but we're here and today's episode is called Origin and it's particularly about Origin because we all know the definition of Origin is the point of place where something begins, arises or derived. And I'm taking this from watching Origin, the movie, directed by Ava DuVernay, starring to a lead of Anjanu Ellis or Anjanu Ellis Taylor. So my guest, Zoror, who let me by the way, let's y'all know she is so freaked underrated and y'all do not give her enough credit and don't put enough respect to her name for me to actually really rock with y'all, rock with y'all. But y'all be playing with my good sis and I don't appreciate it because Anjanu gives you endless, I want to say her whole filmography is endless acting, especially when money talks, y'all probably don't remember, it's like one of them underrated indie films, she did her thing. So y'all put respect, but we're not here for that. Nonetheless, Origin was a movie that I was dying to see last year. I did tap into the conversation panel that it was Ava and Anjanu for Delta that they did this year about it and it was so riveting and eye opening to know the strength and resilience she had to have to really put in the effort to get into character that it was so weighing and so heavy that it was hard for her to get out of character, even like almost every six months later. When I say that's not acting but acting, she was acting her ass off, it speaks volumes because spoiler for those who haven't seen the movie, I just have very much a politically aware movie, I know this is a podcast about society, culture and personal stories. So I'm gonna talk about it, especially given the height of society of where we're in right now where the government a little card card, America a little card card. Sis is having a whole temper tantrum and there's no way that anybody can do anything for her to calm her down unless somebody really tries to take the time to understand what she wants and what she needs. Let me repeat myself. The US is a little card card, Sis is not okay and she's having a whole tantrum and a breakdown. Let's really and figuratively, until somebody actually takes time to evaluate what she needs and what she wants to in order for her to thrive. Before this system breakdown of this empire breakdown of 2025, when this empire does break down because it's been historically and statistically shown that every 250 years an empire breaks down in order for it to revitalize and replenish itself into a better structure. 2025 will be the year that America turns 250. You do the math. See where we're at. See what's going on. See why there's so much chaos to a moral and confusing going on right now? But if you listen to my good girl, my good girl, good girl, good girl, Lene Vene, my fellow HBCU alum, you will realize that there is power in our hands but voting is how we do it because little do it is the government ever gonna let us know that it is important and this is what I'm quoting from her from keeping the black and keeping the brief and I'm gonna always give credit where it's due. Lene made it real clear that we have the power of voting and who we vote for in the House of Representatives because it is the time of renewing the votes of House of who we want in the House, okay? It will be allowing us to sway it back in the Democratic point where it's in our favor because Trump made it really fucking clear that he gets back in office. He will be approving four new Supreme Court justices and we know that we'll be Republican. So this little tug of war, this little tip for type, this little minute battle that they have going on in the Supreme Court justices will be nothing hell bent if you have nothing but rednecks and I literally do mean red where the agenda is being pushed and that is also being pushed in House of Representatives. So we need to be out there to vote for who and what in your local elections, hopefully y'all hope y'all voted for y'all local, y'all haven't just voted for just because November 5th elections but also made it your business to vote for those in your communities because that's where it starts. It starts in the local elections from your committees, your schools, your attorney generals, your governors, your councilmen, that's where it starts in order for it to literally trickle up to where it gets to the big guy. And we already know right now in this presidential election shit is wacky, okay, wacky. I will not vote for a fascist. I really do, I will say this, they're both fascists and they're all right but it's more so of a tyranny of dictatorship than oppression is really what the battle is at this present moment. I'm not gonna get too into it 'cause I'm gonna do a whole episode about it. When the time comes because it's a little, it's not premature but it's just mind boggling and very much to keep your eyes open and aware of what's going on right now. So to order first to see the change we really want, the voting of the House of Representatives is vital and very crucial to make those changes. So shout out to Lene Vene on being so kind and gracious to drop those gems and I definitely felt like it was necessary for me to share. But back to "We Are With Origin." So "Give a Head" is a point of place where something begins to rise and derive. This movie literally was breathtaking. When I said my nerd and my blurred behind was like well vested all in it like ZM, I'm gonna watch it again 'cause that's something I'm gonna watch it again. It opened my mind to literally change the path of feeling like everything is racially which technically doesn't make sense because race isn't a thing as much as it is the aspect of cast. But when I figured out that everything in America's overall and the fact that America literally is the primer to a lot of these disgusting, egregious, repulsive, asinine, wars and sorry y'all. 'Cause there's somebody else on my door. Outside of these wars, genocides and disposition against other ethnicities and cultural choices, right? So cast is what I say is what really happened. It's going on in America as opposed to racial divide 'cause there's only one race. But that's ethnicity-wise there is a municipality that is pretty much spent across the board where we associate "race" or ethnicity with oppression. Now, if you look about it, as it was made clear in an origin that it's never the fact of ethnicity because they have oppression in India. They had oppression in Germany. It's not about that as much as it is cast because you have people of the same origins, same colors, same racial background, but are still oppressed. But as opposed to the America because there's no real true derivative because we're all still in land where there's an origin of what belongs like it does in India and Germany. We are a people of a melting pot. So there's no true essence to say outside of race because there's such a melting pot of cultures, right? So cast is the chokehold, not racism, okay? Racism is the derivative of the caste system. But that's because that's what we hold on to without knowing the proper knowledge of how caste the caste system works, right? So the dillots in India are pretty much the lower class of India, which is part of their caste system. I wanna say the dillots are the dillots of proper term. I don't know how to properly say it, but those who know know what I'm talking about. So in the movie, Anjuna Arcy's character, her husband passes away, her mom passes away. They pass away literally within like a short brief time. I wanna say a year, maybe six months within each other. And she's pretty much left alone. And she was married to a white man, which off the rip as an American society, we know loving versus the United States. It was a whole thing where they had to literally fight for interracial marriages, right? Loving be Virginia. We know it was a whole fight for interracial marriages. So that within itself is a caste system because him seeing as a white man is supposed to be a superiority against a black woman who has an inferiority compared to where his social classes, cast is, right? So looking at that off the rip, it was always a situation, even down to where she goes to family, barbecues, family are like, hey, I know a black professor, he's well-educated, he's has a great background, stable. Would you be interested? And this is after our husband passed, where everybody's trying to push this black narrative and doctrine on her life to stay within her cultural ethnicity, right? So just like the dillots in India, there is no true cultural background of white or black as much as it is, everybody's the same color of brown. And it just all calls about social caste. So the dillots are pretty much the ones who are the ones who literally are beneath beneath. You go in the classroom, if you're a dillot and you're born under the dillot caste, you sit in the back of the classroom, there's no desk for you, you don't get materials, you don't get none of that, you can be in the classroom, but you're not getting the proper materials. 'Cause they know off the rip because of your caste system, you're only equated to be able to scoop the shit out of public toilets, literally these people. When I say I've never cried so much watching a movie and I'm alive because I've watched "Inside Out" and I teared, but when I say boo who's not crying, I haven't cried so much since watching "Lion King." And baby, that was 1995. When I said this movie has, as an empath, took and strung my heartstrings so poorly to the point I couldn't keep myself together. That is what happened here. And watching these dillots where all they have is just olive oil to go into a deep sink full of shit where they go through the sewer system, to clean out human feces. Okay, you're only there to pick up human feces and defecate where you only have yourself and your oil so that the shit doesn't stay on you, literally stay on you, speaks volumes. They are the most underrated cast in India where they are raped, disrespected, and disregarded as what we were probably here equate to the black women. But the black women got a little bit of a one up on the dillots in India. 'Cause at least we have the opportunity avail for us to work, make our own income, even though we're not respected and we are sometimes rejected, we are at least seen in the system as some think. They're not seen as anything. They're pretty much damn near invisible if you ask me. And it's unfortunate because their kids are born into a system that they don't get a chance to get away from like the little boy legit was in school and there's a water fountain. He can't drink out of a water fountain. He has to drink out of a bucket that literally he can't touch anything that is not a part of his cast. Do you know how psychologically that fucks with a child's mental and their self-esteem? That if they don't have the tenacity to want to be better and go against the cast system that is placed upon and that they are literally born into, like we're born into a underprivileged society when you are a black person because the system was not created for us to flourish. So that whole work where we work three times harder just to get ahead is not a thing. I believe it because watching the dillots have to do the same thing where they can't even drink out of a bucket unless somebody pours water to have their mouth wide open and treat them like fucking animals. They are treated like animals. It's fucking horrid, horrid behaviors for anybody who has any humane decency in their bones. It's horrid. So it's just as bad as when it comes to the Jews and the Holocaust. Do you not? Fun fact, did y'all know that Germany mimicked the Holocaust off the U.S. principles? Gag, yeah, they did. The Jews in the Holocaust, the whole Holocaust was done off the caste system of segregation and Jim Crow and slavery. Think about it for a second. Just let that shit marinate. It was created off the derivative of the U.S. laws, policies and procedures. Slavery is what they did. So we're gonna use them, we're gonna work them. Like the Jews did, like the Germans did the Jews. We don't want them to be equated because if we allow them to have the equity that's given for them to be seen as a person, seen as a people, 'cause remember there's a three-fish rule. 13th Amendment was something that was very new for blacks to have the ability to vote. Remember, the three-fish rule was something for every three slaves out of the five are known as one vote. It's exactly what it was for the Jews. If we give them the ability to have the same accessibility to knowledge, power and respect, they're gonna overpower us as Germans and we can't have that. Do you see how fucking disgusting that is? So they took it from what we did over here in the U.S. especially with Jim Crow having a, oh, whites are here, blacks are here, blacks are here, whites can't sit here. That's exactly what they did in the Holocaust. And there's live and proof in the German museum that subsizes of the, I wanna say in the 1920s where they had a roundtable about this shit and said that we're gonna mimic the U.S. and do the shit with the Jews and get rid of them. Hence why the concentration camps happened. They try to do them like they did with slavery. Like, if we make them extinct, maybe we won't even have this problem. Which is, I'm not gonna say I understand but I see how sometimes Jews feel like they're able to correlate or have an empathy to kind of connect with us as blacks but they really fucking don't. Because over here, gone out blue eyes, if you're Jewish, baby, you are thriving, not just surviving. And here in Black America, we're surviving and trying our best to thrive in any way possible. So we are not the fucking Samuel. Let me make that fucking clear. We are not the same. But the Holocaust literally being a final draft to the caste system off the U.S.'s principles after burning 250,000 books burned of education or anything that's related to anything outside of German law principle origin. Here we go with that word, origin again, is why they went ahead and wanted to do that. So if you think about it, the way they never want to claim someone how to read and write. Giving a black person the ability, like I always say, and I say this time and time and time again and y'all can quote me on it. As I always say, what is the most powerful weapon that a black person can have? Knowledge. Because they never want us to read and write. So being able to have the equity of doing the same things they can do is always been a threat to their society. So burning of the books is how they did that to allow the Jews to see themselves, to see the reflection. What the fucking thing they're doing right now with critical race theory? They're picking and choosing, taking away these opportunities to educate these children to know where they come from, of the power of their origins, especially when it comes to black innovation and how we always cultivate to make a way out of no way. Where they're now forcing parents to have to do so, but think about a lot of the parents. Some of them are dumbass millennials coming from my generation who don't know their fucking national ADM elbow. So how much can they really inform of their own child if they don't know their own fucking existence? I've seen it on Instagram and it makes sense because they're like yo, millennials, and I know I said this all the time, but millennials is a rare generation because we're from post-industrial age, but pre-technology age, and we know where we came from, and we kind of are part of the reason why we know where we're going, but a lot of the ones activists don't know where they came from, and so they really can't tell where they're fucking going, but they know what the end destination is, but they don't know how to really get there because they don't take the time to look at the past. And I find that shit fucking funny because millennials are probably the closest of where I feel like they have some type of common sense, where they research and take a side outside of themselves to know that there's a greater power to know that the past history will repeat itself if not done correctly to make the proper innovations, adjustments, and implementations to check what needs to be checked, but I find it funny because it really is because we know what it is to not have technology, you know what it is to be without it. We know what it is to have to take the time to read, listen, and learn, and then make it a practice to not spit misinformation. Like before GPS, there was a map quest. We were a map quest, okay? You miss that, you have to find somebody within a mile radius, and mind you, this is something that is still going today with their sundown town, so think about how that shit affects you and you're traveling in the fucking South during the time of map quest. This shit is not a joke, like everything is intersectionality people, it's intertwined somehow, some way. And I feel like the reasons the CRT exists here in the US is why the US should take notes on how to remove the idolatry of statues that are still existing as those of their heroes, because once the Holocaust anything, anything German related to hatred, they literally built over it and broke it all down, okay? Broke it all down. So anything that was remnants of the Holocaust or Hitler, or any German supposed hero was broken down to the point where like if they said like even in the movie, you go someplace in Germany, if there was a Nazi camp or a Nazi anything, it's probably pained over. Or there's probably not very much little remnants of it even having existence. And this is where the notes should be taken for the idolatry of heroes like Robert, I'm not even gonna say the rest of their names, I'm not gonna give them that much care to it. But Robert, George, Lincoln, all these statues that we're doing, Confederate flags should not even be something that's even given the breath to have a life of how it's living to allow it to still persist as it being a symbol of heroism, when it's really a symbol of hatred, okay? This is where the US can take notes from Germany and I'm not saying erase the past 'cause I'm not saying that particularly, I'm saying don't have the constant reminders be splashing our face, like as for instance, i.e. the MAGA movement and the bigots that are living amongst us, to feel like it is okay to disrespect the foul and defame others who are not of the same mindset of narrow-mindedness and stupidity. To hold a hold of the field that a president who's had been brought up on felony charges is a good man to run this fucking country for politics. Are you dumb or are you fucking stupid? Sometimes you just have to go undercover to cover what's being hit under the deep self. And that's a book that I think was brought up very much frequently referenced in this movie that again, there's always intersectionality, right? And normally when that happens, the blood on the hands of those who have lost their lives are those who have literally been martyrs to the system of trying to fight whatever caste system that exists. It doesn't go in vain. So the death can make you dig deeper than what you expect, right? And those, even those of a personal relationships of those in our family, like I feel like when it came to Angela Ellis' character, the death of her husband hit her hard because that was her rock. He was literally the reminder of, "Hey, baby, left a plane ticket." He was a motivator. He was the one that was like, "Hey, write this book, put it out there, "go full force, I support you." Having her mom, being her only child and having her mother watch her mother literally slowly decline with dementia and not be able to live on her own and having to put her in a adult living facility while she feels after, you know, after father's a feeling she broke the promise of her father watching her mother wither away with something that I feel like death literally becomes a rebirth for those who are still remaining. And I can attest to that because personally, I feel like my grandmother's death was a rebirth for me that I was probably too young to understand, but now about to be 34 damn near 10 years later, I can see the rebirth of, it was an awakening. Like her death does not go in vain because all she worked for, all she's acquired, all she's pushed and instilled in me can still live on because I have the ability to bring something out of her death that can be so beautiful. And there's all this talk about this project 2025. And in reality, after watching this movie, it was a reminder to let me know that in 2000, if we're being completely brutally fucking honest. And even before that, if you implement the Reaganomics theory, we have already started Project 2025, baby. And again, like I said, my sister, Nathan E. made it clear. House of Representatives, which is the main holders of a lot of our constitutional and governmental policies and procedures, are the main people who hold the weight. And if we make those right choices on those ballots, we can get our power back in some shape or form and move into the right direction of change. Okay. It's been started since Bush. This is not nothing, it was just took them time because they're trying to make sure the agenda gets pushed. So now that there's no interruptions. And as long as you have those who are martyrs or those who speak out against what those who don't take the time to read, such as myself, Renee Vanne, Amanda Seals, Charlemagne, the God, just to name a few, you're gonna forever be in a state of confusion because that is the sole purpose of propaganda to have you in a state of clouded judgment to make impulse decisions based on what you hear and not what you see read and take the time to understand for yourself. When it comes to this caste system thing, right? In origin, especially, right? The superiority isn't a privilege. It's a way to dehumanize and demoralize through humiliation. So if you think about the dillots, then having them go through picking human shit and you're a human, that's a form of humiliation. Back in the day, I know some are not gonna like this and you're gonna probably be like, what the fuck, just why would you say that? Back in the day, when there was Greek life, the shit they used to do for overgrown pressure, I know a lot of y'all niggas watch school days. I don't have to say it 'cause it was on school days. Path pint is all I'm gonna say. You've watched how they humiliated those boys, put in their hands until the squishin' bananas, have forced them to have sex in order to be a part of the club, the bone room. Fuckin' havin' them callin' all fours. We watch humiliation as a form of how it is in the caste system which allows you to have power. That's how superiority is. So if you look at how the fact of these white people, these biggest, these maga supporters, these trumpers are out here doing it, they're tryin' to humiliate the same way what it is. So when I hear one of the senators of Pennsylvania say, "Hey, this is the only man that went ahead," and trust me, I believe I'm not going hard for Biden, that only was able to humiliate Trump to where now he's comin' 45,000 times harder because he was humiliated by an old-ass man and lost in an election that he swear he had in the fuckin' bag to do a two-term bid. Humiliation is the way to success when it comes to an individualistic capitalism society and that's exactly what the fuck it is. Plain and simple, okay? Like I said, humiliation in Greek life before non-hasing factors were implemented is literally what it is in society if you really wanna take life and imitate it in art or art imitate life or life imitated within its own social construct. That is what it is. You wanna take the macroscopic vision of what it is as America and take Greek life as a microscopic composition? Where's really the difference prior to pre-non-hasing days? And we're talkin' about 1990 and prior holding ducks while you go to class, sitting there in silence, having to hold hands, staring up, "Yeah, that type of shit." Humiliation is the way of superiority because your profile, so anybody knows what a profile is, gets to the joint laughter because somebody did it to them and now they get to have to show you another foot and that's the problem. Once you get the power, who are you, are you gonna be the one to keep the tradition going of humiliation? Are you gonna try to change it in a way where it's not as demoralizing, where because it makes you look better, when it actually makes you look like a pompous jackass? And if you don't believe me, just go watch school days, okay? That's all I'm gonna say. Watch and origin allowed me to see that this presidential election will prove how much the people are manipulated, even despite that democracy is a song and dance. Okay. When we say life is a cake walk, do you know how much we've twisted that into the fuckin' westernized, modern thought theory of white people? Cake walk isn't literally what was done for African-Americans where they were forced as slaves. I don't even say African-Americans, when black Americans were forced in slavery, to have dance competitions, to win cake, to entertain the white man. So if we can take something as simple as a euphemism as that and change it into something that's positive, the same way we did the word nigger and made it nigger, what other ways are we now being brainwashed to think that something is okay when it's really not? Getting your ass beat on a regular basis is something that is okay, but literally it was done to us when it goes back to transitional slave, transgenerational trauma, to the times where our slaves and ancestors were beat because some shit that wasn't done right, and then now we take that same logic, put it in the households and apply it to our children, then our children's children, then our children's children's children's, so when it finally gets to a generation, I eat the millennials and now damn sure Gen Z not fuckin' with it. Gen Alpha don't even know what a beatin' is 'cause it's this gentle parenting shit because you can go to jail for it. But it all is a mental structure to know when do we make the changes? When do we now pour into the cups of those that are after us, from those that pour into us and say, "Hey, I'ma filter this to do the I wanna do it this way," and I understand that way, but that's not the healthiest way and it's not the best way to get the message across. We are literally all pieces to a transcontinental puzzle. And allies will say that they aren't a part of the problem when they are caused, when they are the cause, even the foundation may not be our business, but we have to reevaluate and renovate it and change as we make. So there's a point in the movie, right? So, again, original Erica's character, I told you she had death. Her mother and her husband literally died no within a year apart and then her cousin, who she was super, super close to, packed within the same, I wanna say five year time frame. And as this goes on, we make these changes to be the change that we wanna see and have the power that's necessary to be pieces to this transcontinental puzzle by she inherited her mother's house. She wanted to sell it. The real story goes, the best way to sell it is to make improvements so you can put top dollar because this thing is a gem. Now I'm talking to all y'all niggas out there who are quick to sell grandma's house. And I say grandma's house because normally that's what it is or grandpa's house or auntie's house or whoever the elder in the family is that literally made something out of nothing, worth their ass off in a timeframe where blacks aren't really given the opportunity to be in property as much as they were into public housing and being redlined and have that avail for them and you're ready to sell this gem because what's being built around it is literally increasing the property value because you just want the dollars that are not gonna laugh forever 'cause you're gonna waste it on bullshit. You're not even gonna reinvest it properly to make sure that it's passive income, right? We're not having that discussion today, right? So she inherited mom's house that really goes, "Hey, the best way to get your top dollar for this "is to renovate, do some renovations." 'Cause this is a gem. And it's better off than you sell it as is for you to get the top dollar to make the renovations. So whatever comes in, you get more than what the asking price is because we know everything's being gentrified. These white people are taking these black homes and literally turning into million dollar homes. I was driving with my girlfriend through Charlotte 'cause you know she's a Charlotte native. And she was telling me how there's a part in like a certain side of town, and I would say Plaza Midwood or a certain area of town where there is a hard distinction between what used to be the hood and what's now gentrified because there's literally a row of million dollar houses you could tell were probably bought up from old black families 'cause majority of that was in Charlotte. And they've now gentrified and made it to million dollar homes, added on to them, built on the main room, two stories. So we're just literally on the same block as now a project, housing project. Where it's gonna be hard where there's a transition where there's a gentrification, yet there's still the old culture of what it was of Charlotte. As opposed to where my girlfriend lives in the area she lives, you can tell there's no gentrification, there's nothing but minorities. Mainly those of the Hispanic descent, Latina descent, because a lot of the blacks, how like they're there, but they've been selling homes and pushing out, right? So having that being said and being part of this transition to transcontinental puzzle is Anja Newell's his character redoes the renovations that she's writing her book about caste, all right, and the origins of how the caste system works, because again, it's not race here in the US, it's the caste system. If you can humiliate and oppress somebody and keep them down as they do with beating our asses, killing us like we're target practice and everything else, why fucking matter, right? What else do we need to do? Because at the end of the day, we're sitting on top of superiority. She renovates the house, gets it all done, and the movie closes with her taking one final walk through the house, and she says, just like the house, the house is in horrible condition, right? Because her mom never did renovations as she got older, she's kinda just like things flop. But when it comes to us as the next generation, it is our duty and due diligence to make the proper renovations needed on the foundation to allow it to build up to be better than what was. As much as we don't wanna go ahead and invest in it, sometimes we have to invest in it and put more effort into it for it to be a better understanding and investment for it to continue to build, because you can't build on rusty pipes, a shaky, shifting foundation. The point is that her mom was the foundation to technically what this was a youth, an anecdote, or a comparison to us in real life. We have the foundations of what our grandparents, great-grandparents, our ancestors built, but it's our due diligence of wherever we are, where we fall in the line in the generations to be better than the generation prior and to make whatever proper tweaks and fix that, we need to make so that the generation coming after us know exactly and understand what was done for them to be able to make it even better. And when we're able to take those trans-continental pieces that we belong in whatever puzzle, it allows us to be able to see the bigger picture. That was so fucking deep to me, yo. So fucking deep because it's literally how I feel when it comes to my mom taking my grandma's house. Like she made so many renovations, getting the chimney done, re-relevating the basement, fences, everything. Because at some point she knows I'm gonna wanna inherit that house. And what she's bought at her and my grandfather bought at $43,000 in the 1940s, is now worth almost damn near $800,000 house. Property value. Because my mom made the renovations and building it up and keeping the upkeep. You see what I'm saying? That's what the job is. That is how we break those trans-generational traumas and curses by making something better and filtering to make sure we're adding an art touch and making our piece to that puzzle fit perfectly and not just trying to jam it in there. They want us to think that scrap should be sufficient enough when they shouldn't be given at all, right? So take whatever is given. Don't complain about it. And I think that's always been my situation when it comes to jobs. Even as I'm going through this job search to get a new job. And it's been very strenuous these last 17 months. But I'm supposed to just take the scraps and be happy with it. 'Cause I could get nothing at all. No, I deserve to have more than scraps. I deserve the entree because I fucking deserve the entree. But I'm not gonna settle for scraps when I know I deserve more and I'm more equipped to handle more than the scraps I should be given to somebody else. Who don'ts, who are subpar. And because I know my worth, I'm not settle for no fucking scraps. My ancestors by this level, because that's what they didn't know. When you know better, you do better. They probably didn't know better. But because I know better and I do better, I'm not settle for no fucking scraps and nobody should ever settle for scraps. That goes for society, that goes for a job, that goes for relationship, whether it be romantic, platonic, family, never settle for fucking scraps. 'Cause baby, you deserve the whole entree. And at this point, the way we are now in society, if we don't wake the fuck up, lives will forever continue to be lost. If we continue to let cast be the catalyst of capitalism. I'm gonna say it again, 'cause I'm not gonna hurt me in the back. Lives will forever be lost. If we continue to let cast be the catalyst of capitalism. Okay? As long as cast is the driver to what capitalism is, and this supposed land of the free home of the brave democratic society, and I'm giving air quotes, it will forever be lives lost. Innocent ones, kids. Because as we see the world's getting crazy and crazy, or we just literally had nigga shooting random people on highways, bicycles, cyclists, for no fucking reason. And these are kids that are teenage kids that are doing this shit. You see what I'm saying? Trying to chop in a way that shit they should go. And as they get older, they'll never depart from it. The training's being lost, baby. And instead of taking those, putting those training wheels on the bikes of life, niggas are just gonna full throttle all out. Let me just get a motorcycle. And don't even know the proper gears and what needs to be done. Oh, Shondo, I just had a word. Had a word, had a word. Big bird, had a word. So as long as that's the catalyst to capitalism and everything's driven by money, money, money, money, money. And that's the only thing we think of and that I think that's gonna suffice for enough. And you don't look deep within yourself to find the joy, the true happiness within yourself. Baby, your soul is all soul's life. And that's the end of that. There won't be a future if we continue to turn to take a blind eye and not unite to be one. And until we're all pushing the same fucking agenda for all lives to be equated, whether it be trans, black, Latinx, Asian, indigenous, there will never be, ever be a future. Not at least a healthy one. I mean, complacency is okay and good and dandy, but I don't know about y'all, I don't like complacent. Nor do I want to sit here and have to fight and take 10 blocks to step on just to get a clear view of society and the American dream while Billy over here literally had nepotism, handed right before writing his fucking life. So when you understand the origins of how caste works in this country, the origins of what your ancestors and your people experienced, the origins of where your culture is derived from and what's being take the part piece the part and what's given to you as scraps as opposed to the whole entree, life will forever be a confusing crystal stare of wondering how far you can go. But when you take the time to derive and understand the beginning of how it was birthed and created, then baby, you are far by y'all exceed many of those who are too far behind in this whole system and this mindset. And I say that wholeheartedly. So please, I beg y'all, wake up and understand your origins so you can make sure that there is a future for something that you want to create for later down the line. As I always say on air, let's keep it real. And always remember be real, be true, and always be unapologetically you.
