What's up, Matt Town?
It is your girl, Brandi Grayson,
here on 92.7 FM WMD.
Yeah, I'm excited to be here with you all today.
I'm excited and probably just experiencing a lot of
hyperness because I'm exhausted, okay?
And when I'm exhausted, I'm like a little kid.
So I start moving and it also doesn't help that I have ADHD.
Is it called ADHD?
ADD, D-E.
There's both of those exist.
Both of those are a thing.
So it could be either or.
I've been in the middle somewhere, Luke, I don't know.
A couple of letters.
A couple of letters.
So if you're ever watching me on Facebook or social media
or on civic media, I'm recording the show.
You'll see that I move my hands a lot.
I sometimes fidget a lot.
I'm nothing's wrong with me.
I just have too much energy.
And I feel so sorry for my kid's teacher
because my son also has a lot of energy.
He's like, he's like a ball of energy.
Just rolling, rolling, rolling, and rolling some more.
So anyway, I'm super tired.
I didn't get any sleep in the last three days
because I have, I'm on this new medication.
And I think it's causing me insomnia.
So I'm just kind of landing bit looking at the ceiling.
Sometimes I get up and do work.
And then today, this Thursday, I mean this Saturday,
it's a very, very busy day for me.
So I have a lot of stuff.
We got production going on, preparing for that.
We have a couple work groups happening.
So I don't know how I'm gonna get through my day.
I'm gonna go back.
You're the harvest fest.
Oh, yeah, today is the harvest fest.
Oh, Lord, see?
It's a busy week.
It is a super busy week.
And my brain is foggy, I need some sleep.
So anyway, we're super excited about the harvest fest.
And if you're new to the Black Conversion Show,
I am the CEO and founder of Urban Triage.
And in my role as the CEO,
we organize a couple of events every year.
And one of our most special events that I love
is the harvest fest.
This is our fourth year.
And we're out at our farm,
which is located in Verona at the Farley Center.
And of course, I always forget the address.
It's like 2996, 2990, Spring Rose Road.
2299 Sprose Road.
Oh, I was close.
I was close.
You had the right road.
You had the right road and everything.
And I had two nights.
I just needed one more two.
Exactly.
Yeah.
There you go.
2299.
2999.
Thanks, Luke.
Always got my back.
OK.
So come out.
Our event is from 3 p.m. today until 10.
All the activities will end around 738.
But we'll go on and on until 10 p.m.
with our live DJ, DJ Payne 1.
You will experience a complete free event.
We have still walkers.
We have airless.
We have tightrope people that be walking on the tightrope.
And the children will also be able to be on the tightrope.
And they absolutely love it.
And then we have our magic bubble lady with these huge bubbles.
And you have free wine and beer, which is also exciting.
And free food.
So food, of course.
And all the produce is coming straight from our farm.
So we had our caterer had to pick up
like 10 crates of collard greens and kale and some green beans.
So the food would be fresh organic produce
from urban trash farm.
And the vent is at our farm, which is located
at the farthest center, y'all.
So come through, have some fun with us, bring your children,
bring your grandma, bring your auntie, bring your uncle.
It's a very accessible event.
So if you're elder or you are, you know,
you just move around differently or need assistance,
we will have our staff available in the parking lots
throughout the station and different areas
to provide transportation for you throughout the event.
And elders as well, we will have reserved tables for you.
And we have volunteers and staff who will serve you.
So you don't even have to move.
You can just enjoy the live band and the music
underneath the tent and we will be at your service
because it is very important to urban triage
that we honor our elders and everyone that came before us.
And it's also super important that all of our vents
are accessible.
So don't feel like you can't move.
If you're on the wheelchair, we're going to move you.
OK, we got you.
We got you and we got people in the parking lot directing.
And when you're coming down, you know,
following GPS coming to the farm,
you'll see balloons out front and then you'll just take a right
and then you'll see people in the road
when you get close to the farm that will help you park.
So come through urban triage fourth
and you'll harvest fest today.
And we're super excited, y'all.
And you're tuned in to the Black Conversion Show here
on 92.7 F and with your girl Brandy Grayson,
the hostess with the Moses.
OK, I've done enough talking for this moment.
Look, how are you doing?
I'm doing well.
It's already September and Labor Day is coming on.
Sleeping with the windows open and so nice this week.
Yes, yes.
This is where our different cultures show.
I don't know.
This is not acceptable.
Not acceptable.
OK, it's cold outside.
Yeah, and it's nice and colder weather is supposed to regulate
your sleep.
You know what?
If you're dealing with insomnia this week,
try sleeping with the windows open.
Yeah, try having a stuffy nose.
Yeah, that's a side effect for some folks.
But I can tell you that I sleep better.
We were camping for Labor Day weekend.
So it was a little cooler this past weekend, too.
I slept great then.
And with the cooler temperatures opened up the house.
I have the windows open throughout the evening.
It's not great because when somebody puts out
their trash cans late, the dogs, the dogs, the dogs.
Any kind of noise is in the neighborhood.
Car driving by faster, whatever kind of sets them off.
But for the most part, it's really nice to sleep
with these cooler temperatures coming in.
And it almost got borderline this week.
It was down to I think 42 Thursday morning when I woke up.
And that was maybe too cold, but I still slept great.
This is crazy.
This is not pumpkin latte season.
It's pumpkin spicy.
We're in the fall.
We supposed to be still in some shorts.
Apple is the superior fall flavor, too.
So I'm just going to apples are the better.
I guess apples are fine.
We will have an apple station, a caramel apple station
at our harvest best.
There you go.
And so yeah, it's supposed to warm back up again, I think.
But this week is a nice little fall preview.
I guess we'll just dress warm.
OK, y'all, that's all I got to say.
Don't just be out here in your shorty shorts.
Take a sweater, sweatshirt, blanket, or something
because baby, I guess summer is over.
And the kids have started school this week.
Lucky you, Luke, you don't have any kids for back to school.
I do not have that process going for you this week.
I can't, I can only imagine.
I can't handle it.
By something of fifth grade, he's nine.
And he's in the fifth grade.
He's the youngest in his class.
And he told his dad yesterday.
He said, dad, just so you know, I'm in fifth grade.
I'm in the mature group.
Oh, the mature group.
So that means I can never walk him in anymore.
I can't hug him in front of you.
He literally laid down the law.
I can't walk him into school anymore.
I can't kiss him in front of people.
And I can't say I love him.
So if I want to kiss him, I have to do it in the car.
And then he has to be able to get out for his friends.
Can't see him.
Your world, he's just living in it.
You laid down the law.
You don't let him take what's going on there.
Poor Luke, you don't get it.
Poor Luke.
You will one day as soon as you look your baby in the eye,
you're going to be like, whatever you say.
I wasn't on your old boy one.
So I know that if I told my mom that kind of stuff,
she would have been like, listen here.
I brought you into this world.
I'll take you out of this world, yep.
And I've got a little better.
I used to be like that.
I might be, I'm gotten tired, you look.
You got soft, maybe.
Tired or soft.
One of the two.
Just do whatever you want out of care no more.
Are you hurt?
Are you bleeding?
Then you're fine.
So getting up early in the morning has been,
I mean, I get up early anyway,
but getting up and having to get him ready.
And back on schedule, making sure, wash your face.
Brush your teeth.
Let me look at your face.
Do you have slime around your mouth and your eyes?
Because he's too big to wash up,
but you still have to like monitor them, right?
Did you fasten your shirt, right?
Button, missing a button and steps is just.
Button, off center, whatever you're walking in school.
Yeah, that you wouldn't want that.
Knees all crusty like,
well, if you don't go in and put some vestolino,
your knees and stop playing with your mama, oh, man.
You know, it's just always something in the morning,
but I got to say, I love my little boy.
And I'm excited for fifth grade.
He has a new teacher,
Messiah tends one city school,
which is a black-owned directed charter school
in Madison, Wisconsin.
This is the second year.
Fourth grade was his first year.
He did a really, you know, he enjoyed it.
And this year, he has a new teacher, Jamie Anderson.
She's never been a teacher, and I'm excited.
I'm excited to see how this folds for her.
And again, this is the black conversion show on 92.7 FM
with your girl, Brandy Grayson.
And I'm just telling y'all random things about me
because I am the important one here, okay?
And back to my son in his school,
he is at one city, fifth grade.
And Jamie Anderson is his new teacher.
And I met with her the other day.
And she seems really cool, very down to earth.
I was able to tell her some of his triggers.
So parents this school year,
I would just ask you and maybe consider
talking to your kids, your kids' teacher
about who your kid is.
Like even the triggers, right?
Like what works for him, what doesn't work for him?
Like one of the things I shared to his teacher
is that what doesn't work for him
is when he doesn't have choices.
Like if you say, you just need to get up.
Like Luke said, his mama was,
boy, just go do it.
I say that he wants to,
you will experience this kind of like rebellion spirit.
But if you say you have these two options, he will choose one.
And of course, you got to make sure
the options work for you.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
It worked.
See, I was the third of four though.
So like my mom like had like already a couple of reps.
Okay.
And I clearly wasn't the problem child,
because they went and made another one after me.
Okay, right.
So like, I didn't stop everything in its tracks.
So I like, I like to tease my little brother about that
sometimes.
We're like, ah, you must have been the bad one.
Or the one they didn't care no more.
But he had four.
And they were, your mom probably was like,
you know what, just get out my face.
Yeah, I think anybody having four of those,
that's a handful.
Yeah.
I had, well, my kids are a spread out.
So it's like, I have a 31 year old, a 25 year old,
and a nine year old.
So it's kind of, yeah, this is a distance between them.
It's a little weird.
So I also shared with his teacher that not only
his choice is really good, but anticipation, right?
Letting him know you have five minutes,
we're about to wrap this up.
If you just stop him abruptly,
he really has a challenge transitioning.
I don't know if it's the cancer in him.
You know, if you follow signs,
cancers are folks who kind of flip on their side.
They're crap.
So he literally acts like a crap, right?
He's really caring, gentle, very sensitive,
very emotional, and he flips.
So he'll flip on his side and he'll flip back.
He'll be like, are you my polar?
But he's not.
He's just, he's just a very Philly kid.
So I just was sharing some tricks with her about him
and then setting up new expectations for him
as he enters fifth grade.
I'm a little worried.
I don't know why I'm so worried about my son in fifth grade,
but we're just gonna give it to God.
And I'm just gonna pray for him every day
and everything's gonna be good to go.
So anyway, enough way back to school stuff.
In the news, I wanna talk to you guys about here
on the black conversion show.
I wanna talk to you about Elon Musk.
I said it a couple of weeks ago,
but we never quite got back to Elon Musk.
So y'all know that he's killing black folks in Memphis.
Is it Memphis, Tennessee or is it Mississippi?
It's Memphis.
He has built this stupid colossal AI system
that takes a lot of energy and electricity.
So he's been sneaking around
and he's created this like these methion lanes.
What do you call it, methine?
Is it methine?
Some chemical, I'll give you that.
We have a clip when we return.
So I might not get the word right,
but what we do know is it's poisoning the air and the soil.
It's bad, y'all, and it's really bad.
And because it's not in the middle of a city
like Madison, Wisconsin or New York, I don't know.
It's not getting much news attention
and it's in the middle of poor neighborhoods.
Like a lot of, you know, environment to toxins,
like airports and things like that
is often in the middle of poor or low-income
environments and communities.
So I wanna talk to you about that.
Also, we wanna talk about your CDC lady.
What do we call her Susan Manaz?
Marnraz?
I suck at names.
I was gonna say I'd have to look up the name.
I don't know.
She resigned though.
Yeah, they forced her to resign though.
Yeah, they reinforced her to resign.
And that's really sad.
So we're gonna talk about it
and what it means for her to be confirmed on July 29th
and then basically fired like five weeks later
because she didn't align with Trump's and Kennedy,
whatever to do, Junior.
All right, okay, Junior.
Yeah, I don't, he should just not even have his name.
I don't like it.
He's not living up to his daddy's name.
We don't like him at all.
You like him?
No.
Okay.
No, he's got a brain worm too that I think.
So you know.
Oh, you don't know about the brain worm?
Oh, my gosh.
That's one of the funniest story lines from last year.
Oh, oh, he like swimming some.
Yeah, he found out that like a decent chunk of his brain
has like been eaten by some kind of parasitic worm.
You gotta be.
Okay, anyway, we're gonna talk more about that when we return.
And also in the news, we got an Amazon tribe
that's come out of like hiding and they don't know why.
So I want to talk about that too
because you know, brown people and original people
when we get in contact with white people goes wrong.
But I want to talk about that today.
All right, y'all want to stay tuned.
There's a lot of political tea to discuss.
And I will have a co-host who was supposed to be here before
but she was late.
But we won't talk about her too much on air.
So you want to stay tuned to the black conversion show here
on 92.7 FM WMDX with your girl, Brandi Grayson.
I'll be back in a jiff.
I look good, you can't touch my back,
what you could, I look fly.
What up, mad time.
It's your girl, Brandi Grayson back at 92.7 FM.
You're tuned in to WMDX, the black conversion show.
Okay, with your girl.
And today I have a special co-host in guess.
She's a little late, you know,
she'd be on them other people time.
I say other people time, white people, I mean black people time.
Julie, so please go ahead and introduce us.
Tell us who you are and what you do in this world, girl.
Sure. Hi, everyone.
Good morning. My name is Julie.
So Brian, I'm a dissertation doc student at UW.
That fancy word.
What did that even mean?
What does that mean?
That means that I'm almost out of there.
Okay, period out of wear.
Gradually from my program.
P-S-D is to be a doctor.
Dr. Edwards.
Brian.
She just made it.
I don't know.
She made that.
And you just said, Brian, I don't even know where I got that from.
Yeah.
Brian, like Hobie.
Okay.
Somebody Nate Edwards is thinking about me.
And that's cool.
Keep me on your mind.
Yeah.
So I study informal learning spaces.
That's how I ran into Brandi.
That's how I ran into a lot of people in the community.
And I specialize in understanding like the history, the history behind black community based
educational spaces.
And can we just say that doesn't even, I don't like how that sounds because it actually
doesn't encompass all that you know.
Yeah.
Because you're so smart.
She is brilliant.
She's one of the most brilliant people I know, no, no, like, and I don't even think she
knows how brilliant she is.
And sometimes she's like, I'm just a nerd.
No, girl, you're just a brilliant woman and you're everything.
So I've worked with her in formulating our curriculum for our work groups because you
know, we got to make it legit.
And using research based evidence based theories and ideas and frameworks.
And she and a few other people have helped us cultivate and put our work into learning
plans.
How would you describe it?
The work that you did for us.
We pretty much put what you've created into session plans, created some like a formative
and some of the assessments for that helped create a facilitation guide and a workbook.
Yeah.
It's a lot.
I was just saying she took my curriculum and made it into like a legit, academically
based format like we could sell it.
We could teach it.
You know.
So anyway, I super love her.
So anyway, we invited her today to share some of her brilliance with you.
I want to start off our conversation about Elon Musk and what he is doing in black communities
as it relates to this new AI system, this massive, dangerous thing that he has created.
And I just want to say that I'm not understanding AI and how it functions because it's, it's
weird that it can answer us and sound like us.
And it's also weird that it takes up a lot of energy and causes like, it's causing death
in our community.
Anyway, let's listen to this clip real quick, Luke.
I mean, then me and Jelisa will talk about it.
And this really, it represents what racism looks like and how racism operates in our country
and in towns, predominantly our communities, predominantly black, brown, and vulnerable communities.
Go ahead.
So Elon Musk's company, his AI company actually got caught with flooding black communities
with airborne toxins, airborne toxins.
So I'm just going to read this and you can go and fact check this.
You know, I'm all for that.
So Elon Musk's AI company XAI is under fire in Memphis.
Their massive computer, their massive supercomputer AI facility needs so much power that they've
secretly been running dozens of methane gas turbines without full permits.
Aerial footage shows 35 gas turbines operating in historically black neighborhoods, right?
Pumping populations, I'm sorry, um, pollution's like nitrogen oxide, um, formaldehyde, right?
And particularly matters linked to asthma, cancer, and respiratory illnesses in the air.
The company only had permits to operate 15 and they were operating 35, 35 in historically
black neighborhoods.
Okay, so that, I just want John to know, um, that this particular situation is, is terrible
not just for the toxins, but also because it's a strain on the actual grid of the community
like the electricity that's coming in.
And I don't think we understand enough about environmental justice and environmental
toxins.
So when we say, oh, there's not a climate control, some of it is not necessarily the sun
or it, it, it's us.
It's like chemical, I'm so sorry, chemicals being put into our soil, our food, and our
air.
Julie, what are your thoughts about what's happening?
So AI is a big topic in academia, um, for different reasons, um, mostly people are concerned
with cheating and, and plagiarism, but, um, I think something that I continue to try
to ask about is, um, what people are doing ethically to try and save, um, the environment
from being poisoned by the, this new technology, um, and people don't have many answers, um,
and this, I feel, you know, I feel, um, when, uh, folks have, my brain is not, um,
taken gummies too.
I feel like anytime I ask a question to somebody who says that they're, um, a leading expert
on AI this, they never have, um, too many things to say about the ethics, um, about how
to keep things, uh, how to keep the environment clean, uh, um, you know, so that the function
can still do what it does.
Right.
Now, kill us.
But if, if the Elon Musk supercomputer is generating off a 35 meth thine turbines, I'm assuming
is there's these big things, you know, shooting out gas and all this, these chemicals, including
nitrogen, causing issues like cancer, asthma, respiratory infection, and can we just also
talk about like airborne toxins also causing injuries to babies in the womb and causing
all kind of like, uh, what do you call it when babies are deformities, like, you know,
causing all kind of deformities.
Babies are born with their intestines outside of their bodies.
We're just not talking about it.
We're not paying attention.
So here on the Black Conversion Show, you're tuned in to Brandi Grayson, the host is with
the most, with my guess, Jelisa Bryant.
That's right.
I want you to stay tuned because we have more conversation about Cardi B and Druski.
And we want to talk about this commute commute commute, well, my god, comedy.
I can't even say it.
Anyway, we're going to talk about how his stand-up has been taken or classified as racism,
but they how we're not classifying Elon Musk toxins in our environment as racism just
stay tuned.
We got a lot to discuss here on the Black Conversion Show with your girl Brandi Grayson
and 92.7 FM, we'll be back in a jiff.
All right.
It is your girl, Brandi Grayson, here on 92.7 FM, you're tuned into WMDX, the Black Conversion
Show.
This is with the most is me and y'all love me, that's why y'all keep listening.
Today I have a guest, Jelisa, she's here in the house.
She is one of a doctrine student at UW Madison, right?
And you're almost done.
Yes.
A man studying how community really is the answer.
That's what I think she's doing, the answer to some of our, you know, lack of resources,
lack of innovation.
We are the answer to the problems that we face, all the social determinants of health.
So anyway, back to our conversation prior to break, we were talking about your guy,
Elon Musk, the man who bought the presidency, the man with the plan, and the man everyone
is scared to address because of the money, you know, all of our parties are bought, Democrats
are bought, the laborers are bought, CDC is bought, everybody's bought.
So don't trust FDA, CDC, D-A-F-T-A-I-A, I don't know, but anyway, so Elon Musk has placed
this supercomputer in Memphis, Tennessee and the midst of a black community killing them
with airborne toxins and meth non and all these, all these chemicals, I don't even know
the name, but you can look at that.
They say they're all popping up all across the state of Wisconsin, too.
They are?
Yeah.
Oh, great.
So I really do.
Yeah, super computers are becoming a pretty hot topic.
So we literally are about to kill ourselves.
So all the Hollywood movies about how AI was going to take over and kill us is true and
how, oh, this is going to be good for the next show, y'all, next week, I'm going to talk
about the matrix.
And some of you I don't know about the matrix, but the matrix, they had all these computers
and people were actually living, like, connected to this computer that we'll talk about as
the matrix in our next section next week.
So you want to stay tuned.
So that makes sense.
So maybe the Hollywood videos and movies are on to something and it reminds me of the
Simpsons and how they say the Simpsons always tell us the truth and they predict the history.
What do you think about that, Luke?
You think the Simpsons have been writing, you know, telling the future this whole time?
I don't know.
I don't know if it's the Simpsons are predicting it or things are just getting so absurd that
it like goes to the place where the comedy is or was previously.
We're going to go with that.
But you know, the Simpsons did predict that Donald Trump would be president and they also
predicted that he would die.
So hopefully both of those things come true and then we'll know the Simpsons is predicting
our history.
It's such a weird prediction, though, everybody dies, like everybody dies.
That's true.
And you can't just be like, oh, it predicts in the future because it's good for us.
Well, that's true.
But maybe it's telling us something.
Yeah, it's written.
It's given us some hope.
You know what I mean?
We need something to hold on to.
We got super computers popping up everywhere.
We don't know if the people, the commercials are real, the people are real, the bodies are
real.
I feel like we're living in a virtual reality.
And there's a movie about that too, virtual reality.
That was a really good movie.
Yeah.
Oh my God.
The Hollywood is writing our future.
The Spirzy Theories are correct.
Did you know the whole situation of environmental toxins coming into black communities?
This is a long history.
Long history.
Long history.
New technology for it.
Yeah, that's real because even with the F-35s that we now have in our communities and
Truex and the airport, there are fighter jets that carry bombs and all kind of stuff,
y'all.
And that's one of the things I advocated against a few years ago because of the airborne
toxins and the P-5s that go into our soil and then end up in our water.
And you can't filter it out.
And the thing about it too is that they're not doing mitigation or any proactively doing
things that could limit or just control some of the environmental toxins.
It's just like, during that time, people were like, well, you know, just going to create
jobs.
And why do we always use jobs as an excuse?
So you rather have jobs than your life?
And am I going to be around to work these jobs that you're talking about?
And pretty soon, I'm going to be taking over anyway.
You ain't going to handle jobs.
You think is bad that, you know, we migrants and people of color or whatever was working
farms and now y'all are president is shipping them off and now you can't even develop.
Okay.
Anyway, you're tuned into 92.7 FM on the black version of your group, Brandy Grayson.
I want to talk about, so we just got to just talking about AI and how racist it is.
And Luke already also pointed out our white boy, Luke.
My favorite producer pointed out that these super computers are going up all through Wisconsin.
So y'all need to pay attention.
And I know we trying to survive and that's part of the distraction, but we really need
to pay attention to environmental justice and how this, our president also removed billions
of dollars in environmental justice work across the country, affecting Dane County,
infecting urban triage and other environments.
So y'all, I don't know what's up with these people.
It's like, do you want us to be slaves or do you want to be dead or do you want to slaves
and dead?
Or I don't know what's happening in capitalism right now.
But let's move on to Druski.
Druski is a comedian.
He is absolutely hilarious and stupid at the same time, but not stupid in a bad way.
He's like brilliant stupid, you know, like that, you know, the dichotomy of that.
You're so brilliant, you're stupid.
And you're so stupid, you're brilliant.
You know what I mean?
I don't know which one came first, but he's definitely an amazing comedian.
So what I want to do is point out the hypocrisy of what we or white people or general people
who are uneducated, uneducated, define as racism.
And he's one person, he did this get where he dressed up as a white man and he looks
just like a white dude.
The artwork is amazing, okay.
And then he went where, at least, so did he go to Nascar, coming to a Nascar event?
And to, okay, go just play the clip so we can hear it out, at least we can hear it,
Luke.
Come on, let's listen to Druski.
Come on, come on.
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Y'all, he's acting a fool.
That's him.
You can't come in here.
Come on.
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Woo!
Y'all, he is dancing.
Woo!
And that is him.
Woo!
Woo!
And white boys think he's white and they are all happy with him, y'all.
Woo!
Woo!
Hey, Joanna.
That's him.
Hey, come up.
You need to listen to your Nana.
Go ahead, baby.
Six times.
Come on, we're going.
Okay, look, that's how we need, because it's a video.
So you've got to actually watch it to capture the-
I'll have the video in the podcast.
Check out the podcast.
Check out the podcast.
Check out the podcast.
It's hilarious, y'all.
It's absolutely hilarious.
But white people aren't really mad, aren't they?
What they say on social media is at least-
Yeah, so people are kind of claiming that this is a form of racism, that he's in quote-unquote
white face.
And get out of here with that.
You know what I'm saying?
When people say things like that, they forget that blackface, the real term, is a historical
phenomenon.
Started the film industry.
Some industry started with people, white people acting like black folks, covering their
face with black- I don't know, some products, yeah.
And pretending to act in stereotypical ways, you know, and naming that as a black act.
That is so different from a one-off comedian coming in and doing this.
And the caption is actually him saying that guy that is just proud to be American.
Okay.
When you think about American men, it is funny.
It is a part of the political theater to automatically say that that is a white man.
To say that black men can't be, you know, the people who are proud to be American.
And there is a black man in the clip.
And he engages like a black man.
You have to watch out.
I want to spoil it for anybody.
But he's going to NASCAR event, too.
Acting way different than this person who is very proud to be American.
So, I think the most hilarious thing is that when black people, it's not the, they're
not offended that he dressed up as a white person because we had white chicks in the movie
theater.
And everybody thought that was hilarious, the way brothers, I thought it was hilarious.
I thought it was funny how they acted as white women.
No one thought that was racist.
Everybody understands why.
I'm sorry.
Did I just say everybody?
We lived in a country where we voted for Trump.
I just said everybody understands that racism is systemic, but it's at the lab and my darn
cell phone that one.
But anyway, back to what I'm saying, racism is systemic, y'all.
That is a power dynamic, right?
And the power dynamic is upheld by people who are white, consciously, subconsciously, and
people who identify as white.
And sometimes they're not actually white.
Sometimes it's the proximity that whiteness that has them claiming acting or behaving
as white.
Okay?
I mean, I'm dressed in white face, doesn't align with systemic power.
It doesn't.
It doesn't line with brilliant stupidity in the way that he acted.
And he did sound like those folks who are very proud to be Americans.
And I thought, I thought it was great.
I mean, the brother is brilliant.
Y'all so find him, Drusky, find him on Instagram, follow this brother, because he's so stupid,
is brilliant.
The real brilliant is stupid.
If you need a real good, quick laugh.
Yeah.
Go ahead and look at that brother.
Oh my God, you want to know what else here in the Black Conversion Show that I did not
think about?
Just to remind you, you are listening to 92.7 FM with your hostess with the most is Brandi
Grayson with my co-host, Jalisa.
Okay, period.
Did you guys hear the clip with, oh my God, I should have you look it up real quick.
See how I'm randomly thinking, what's her name, Colin, Lisa, Rice, what, how do you say
Lisa?
Yeah, Colin, Lisa.
I'm going to digress real quick as Luke looks up that clip about her.
We're talking about transgender.
It's such a dangerous conversation when she talks about Rachel Dozierck and transgender
and why racial, if we're using the parameter that trans folks can identify based on how
they feel and who they believe they are from the inside out, then white people should
be able to identify as black people if they feel black.
And that's Candace Owens.
Oh, that Candace Owens.
Okay, I gave you the wrong name because they look, they're very similar though.
She, like, they got the silk press going, they got the silk press saying, yeah, I thought
they were from the same family.
Oh, girl.
Okay.
I think it's a very interesting point.
And on social media, a lot of people are saying, yeah, she's right, Candace Owens is
right.
So I'm going to talk about that a little bit.
And what it means to be trans-racial or what it means to be, it's trans-racial really
a thing.
What do we decipher the difference between transgender and trans-racial?
Did you find the clip loop?
There's a lot of long things here.
Oh, it's like a 30-second clip of her saying, all to that light-skinned dude, Jason Lee.
To Jason Lee, like, 30 seconds of her explain it, it really isn't that long.
But I really think that it'd be interesting to discuss in this context of racism and
Drusky dressing up as a white nascar dude.
I mean, y'all, he looked white, like, he looked in sound white.
And the thing when I think about white people who are proud to be Americans, I do think
of nascar people.
And I do think of the American flag and the pick-up trucks, and any time that I see one,
I just stay away from them.
They scare me, y'all, because y'all so proud that you just, mm-hmm, getting wild off the
beers.
I know.
Okay, let's go ahead and listen to Candace Owens, right?
Not kind of Lisa Rice.
They, they sisters though, but go ahead and look at what kind of sexual is a thing.
What is your opposition to it?
This insistence that we allow children to think that they can pick and choose their
genders, that's definitely a psychosis, like this was not a thing.
People were not struggling in kindergarten, we were not arguing about bathrooms, like,
this is all just made up.
You're asking me to be crazy, you're asking me to look at a grown man, and imagine that
he's actually a woman, and that if he goes and gets work done, that he magically becomes
a woman.
So it's insanity.
Otherwise, you'd have to defend Rachel Donaldson.
Well, there's no, well, there's no defendant.
There's no defendant.
Crazy.
That's crazy.
Why is that crazy?
Because she was a white woman that said she was black.
Yeah, that's a man saying he was black.
But let's back up.
We're talking about the trans issue.
She's transracial.
So give her respect, put respect on her name.
Explain to me how.
Because on the inside, she felt black.
She was dressing like she was black.
She was making her skin darker like she was black.
She was standing for the black cause.
She was working for the NAACP.
It just happened to be that she was, you know, where the white girl blonde, her and freckles.
And it only became problematic when somebody exposed it, and people said, no, you can't
just be black.
Why not?
If you're going to, if you're going to say that a man can just be a woman, why can't reach
dollars or just be black, he got to be consistent.
Because she's white.
Okay.
Because it's a man.
No.
But hold on.
I get it.
No, I'm right.
I get it.
No, no, no, I don't agree.
I'm sorry that I'm consistent.
She said, I'm sorry.
I'm consistent.
Okay.
Dileesa, what are, what are your thoughts around Candace Owens comments about transracial
and transjustice?
Transjustice.
Transgender.
Well, I think people need to understand that biological sex and gender are two different
things.
Gender is a societal creation.
We created the idea that a woman is exquisite.
We can argue that black is a social construct, too, an idea.
Yes.
And it has different weight than gender does.
Okay.
This is going to be interesting, y'all.
Because I want to know what weight you're referring to, right?
Because when we talk about social constructs, gender is constructed, it's just made up.
And race is made up, you know, it's way that we divide each other and separate ourselves.
So we're going to stick to y'all.
We got a couple more minutes and we're going to get into the tee as quick as we can.
Yeah.
Y'all don't be calling the station time y'all need to fire me because I play Candace Owens.
I didn't say that.
I'm about to just play Devil's Advocate here on the Black Conversion Show.
You're two then to 92.7 F and with your girl, Brande Grayson, hostess with the most
is in the woman you love to hate.
You love me so much.
You can't help but to hate me.
You hate me so much.
You can't help but to love me.
But stay tuned to 92.7 FM.
I have a ride your girl Brande Grayson is back on the mic.
Back on the mic.
Did I say that right?
Don't worry about it.
You're tuned into 92.7 FM, the Black Conversion Show.
I have my girl, Delisa in the house.
And then prior to break, we were discussing the comments made by your girl Candace Owens,
who is Carden Lisa Rice's sister.
But she was talking about trans, racial and transgender and shared her perspective that
if not condolence, but if Rachel, but her too.
But if Rachel Dozier can claim to be black because she feels black from the inside, then
because she should be able to be known as trans, racial, if transgender people are allowed
to declare themselves as trans women or trans men based on how they feel inside.
And before break, Delisa was going to give us some deeper understanding of the difference
and the weight of the two and why they matter and why in your opinion, trans, racial doesn't
equate to transgender.
Yeah.
So in the case of racism, I have spent so much time, more time than I need to, looking
at videos of her interview with people about why she decided to make the choices that
she made.
And it is that she is the problem that I have with it is that she's performing blackness
in a way that makes it seem like because she suffered as a kid, that is what qualifies
her as, because she was poor.
Yes, because she was poor or she had some, so I think she had named to her parents.
It was like an interview with her parents that she just struggled with her own accepting
who she was, accepting her situation, her lifestyle.
And she even said in an interview that she watched national geographic, red flag, the
biggest red flag.
She watched national geographic and felt a connection, but how does that make you black?
Because you saw, you know, perhaps black people, African people dancing, well, maybe she,
okay.
I haven't get here.
Maybe she watched it and was like, that's it.
I feel black.
No.
Not when your parents come into an interview talking about her whole lifestyle was completely,
you know, like you just, this is something that was totally in your mind versus, and I
think that there's also a history behind blackness that people have to respect.
If you come in and there's one thing if you are passing, right?
You have a legacy.
This country has a legacy of treating black people in a particular kind of way.
And that brings a whole experience of blackness that's culturally and socially grounded.
Okay.
So you're saying, look, you can't duplicate what occurs inside a people that are on the,
on the, who have been oppressed through a system, right?
And through that oppression or through that system of oppression or dehumanization of
us as a whole is created some things, experientially, that you can't duplicate or imitate because
it's in you.
Yeah.
And it doesn't become part of you unless you have been able to go through and identify
through history, how you've been shaped.
Yes.
And I think there's also just the lived experience, like laws were created and certain types
of economic impacts have come from the identity of blackness.
Even though that identity was put on us, it's something that had real impact in our lives.
In the case of gender, we're talking about a biological sex that often gets confused
with the social construct, how people perceive women to behave, even if you say that you
are a cis woman, but perhaps your gender performance does a masculine.
People have something to say about that and they, they claim certain things about you.
It's very different construct.
And to me, when people try to do what Candace Owens is doing, you're talking about apples
and oranges.
It's just two different social constructs.
Both of them are social constructs.
We created those ideas, but they're very different in the weight and the history that
they have.
Okay.
What do you think Luke?
Let's ask the white dude.
What do you think?
He's in human trouble.
I think as both of these as you pointed out are social constructs, it's not just how
you appear.
It's how the world sees you as well.
And so it's one thing for a transgender individual to try to go and navigate their
space as the way that they feel and outwardly, like you can put clothes on.
Like there are different, like you can dress, you can go get surgeries, you can do
things to more present yourself to the world, the way that you feel, but I just, I don't
understand somebody thinking that it's okay then to go trans-racial because it's not
the world does not see you that way, like just because you are, I don't know as much
about this woman who worked for the NCAA at NAACP, but I don't think you can just one
day wake up and try to slowly but surely darken your skin or lighten your skin or anything
to change there.
I hear y'all, but I'm telling y'all, we got a lot of trans-racial people here or people
who think they are.
I've had conversations with white people who say they don't feel like they don't feel
like a woman and they don't feel like a white person, you know.
I've had conversations with people who say because I grew up in black neighborhood and black
people do it too.
We say that they're honorary, right?
Or people who are around black people somehow become, I don't know, like Madison is weird,
it's probably the same across the country.
But anyway, let's just move on and we'll talk about it again next week because it is
a very interesting topic.
What I want to remind you guys of is our harvest fest, taking place today, Saturday, the
six from three to eight pm, or really from three to ten, all the activities will stop
