Pretty Privilege and the Psyche of Racism

Black Convergence · Sat May 10, 2025

Oh, oh, oh, okay, Lou.

Ha, ha, ha, ha.

I'm about to do some salsa, something, okay?

Did I strike out or are we okay with this stuff?

You did, you strike out.

But I'd be I was trying to be gentle with you this time.

Look, you're tuned into the 92 point.

I wait, I was about to say the black conversion.

You're tuned into the black conversion show.

A 92.7 FM with your girl Brandy Grayson.

So yeah, we were just talking about racism before the break

as we often do because that's kind of my thing.

That's kind of what I do in life and everywhere around.

And it's also the thing why people really dislike me.

And I'm okay with it because people actually really love me too.

And I really like the people who love me.

And I actually like the people who hate me.

So it all works out at the end.

So one of the things I want to get to is this lady,

a shallow Hendrix who raised over $700,000 for,

so there was this $700,000 on this platform called Give Send Go.

This is a Christian founded site, a platform.

And the dude who is a co-founder, co-founder, Jacob Wells,

told the news, news in Minnesota, Minneapolis Rochester,

said, hey, we crowdfund for Indian everybody

and usually things that people feel aren't legit or nice, I guess.

So let me tell you a little bit about this woman.

So she's not a park with her baby.

There's a five-year-old kid who's autistic,

who happens to be black, that baby's at the park too.

Allegedly, the baby went into, I said that the baby found something in the park,

but allegedly, the five-year-old went into the diaper bag and got a toy.

Just going to remind you that this kid is autistic, right?

And then another bystander, not even the parents of the five-year-old kid,

recorded this woman's interaction.

And started to record because she got really aggressive with this five-year-old.

And then called this five-year-old, the inward,

and then went to attack the kid and the dude that was filming said, no, you're not.

And you can hear him on the film.

Were you just about to hit that kid?

Like the lady got erased over this toy.

And then because she went viral, so she went viral,

and then there was an investigation by Rochester Police Department.

And so after that, she goes on to her platform

and does this crowdfunding and asks people to raise money for her

so that she can protect herself, and she's raised over $700,000.

That's what gross looks like.

These are the same people contributing to her that are probably voted for Trump.

And I'm wondering if this same dude who is a co-founder, co-founder said,

you know, he said, cancellation, culture, or cancellation isn't the way to move the narrative forward.

That's what he said, according to the news.

He said, actually, the diversity of ideas, even toxic,

and ones that we believe are toxic, we need to deal with.

And we need to bring the issue, the story to the front.

And then the culture can start to wrestle with it in the open where it should be,

because that's what Jesus would do.

So that's why they're raising money for her.

So I wonder if he would raise money for the same family,

or for the, what's the, the dude named from Cincinnati, Ohio,

Rodney Henson, Jr. was charged with aggravated murder after killing,

allegedly killing a share of deputy Larry Henderson with his car after his son, Ryan Hilton,

was fatally shot by police officer in a separate incident.

So he was accused of intentionally striking the deputy who was not involved in his son deaf,

but he was outraged with police and his son didn't have a gun, but he was murdered.

So I'm wondering if this same dude Mr. Wells would be willing to run a crowdfunding for him.

If, I mean, based on the same premise, if it's toxic, then it should,

the person should be allowed to raise money and for their defense and they should be allowed

and it should be brought to the forefront.

And I, what I can tell you that that Christian platform would not raise money for this black man.

So, you know, I don't, I don't know, I don't know.

Do I think that the guy who murdered the sheriff should have murdered the sheriff?

No, I don't think he should have done that.

I also know what I couldn't imagine losing my kid.

And I, if I said to y'all before, never say never.

I would never murder anyone unless I was protecting myself, but never say never.

And I think one of the things as a country we need to contend with is that this turning the other cheek is coming to an end.

And I think people known as black have had so much rage that we have nowhere to put it.

And then we end up like just harming ourselves and going inward.

And I don't know if you guys are familiar.

Again, you're tuned into the black conversion shown here on 92.7 FM with Brandy Grayson.

There was another hit and run this weekend in Madison and Cottage Grove.

Did you hear about that, Luke?

I did not.

Oh my God. So, this man in Cottage Grove ran over a family.

And the crazy part about this article in news story.

And it was on channel 27 WKLW.

So the suspect accused of hitting the Cottage Grove family actually died like the next day in Dane County jail.

So what occurred is that they're actually neighbors and they were, they were friends and their sons were friends and they hung out.

Well, supposedly the family that was ran over, their son had victimized and assaulted the other guy's son.

So we don't know the details of it.

We don't know if it was sexual assault, but they found the pictures of the assault and victimization of this son's this man's son on the boy's phone.

So the man was destroyed.

I mean, like he was depressed.

He was going crazy.

So apparently they both lived in the same neighborhood.

Apparently he sees them walking down the street, the family, the mother, the dog, the son.

And he runs them over.

He goes full fledged, runs them over and kills the mother and kills the mother.

And then he dies after the accident in Dane County jail.

So some people are saying that it must have been like a blood clot or something that happened or he has some kind of injury from the accident.

But nothing has been, you know, released.

And if you look at his, his pictures on C cap, he looks so distraught y'all like the man was not well.

So whatever that family did to that other family child sent him over the ledge.

And I'm comparing the two because we have a black man on Ohio that child was murdered by the police and went crazy, right?

And for lack of better terminology and killed another officer that was unrelated.

And in Dane County Cottage Grove, we have another family.

And these are white folks that ran a family over because his son was victimized by the other son and he literally tried to take them out.

So I would say that when we talk about humanity, it's messy.

It's not this black or white thing.

So when we talk about this girl, Shiloh, Hendrick's raising $700,000 after calling a black autistic kid, the end word is absolutely ridiculous.

Because y'all have a different idea of who deserves provision and protection that in covering.

And you don't think this Ryan dude does.

You don't, you probably think this white dude in college Grove does.

And I'm going to tell you and make and just have you get into discovery of what's the difference between the black dude who killed the kid.

The black dude who killed the cop and ran them over and the white dude who ran over the entire family, including the dog.

He actually killed the dog and the mother.

And I bet you the response from our community will be mental health, right?

Because he's white. It's always mental health.

And by the way, Trump has has is closing down mental health services and resource because he too said mental health is the issue with black with guns.

This is our reality.

This is what racism looks like. This is what the psyche of racism looks like.

Like this distinction between black and white.

So anyway, my time is up.

I hope you enjoyed me because I missed you and I miss talking.

So until next time, you're listening to 92.7 FM WM DX with your girl Brandy Grayson on the black convergence show.
