All right, all right, all right.
You tuned in to the Black Conversion Show,
with Chokers, Brandy Grayson, OK?
Up, up, up.
That feels good, Parker.
That's that song music.
All right, let me get this, OK, I got distracted.
I'm about to go up above the clouds.
That's how I feel like I need to go somewhere.
Just away from here in a different reality.
And this Truman Hollywood simulation,
is, OK, let me calm down.
Breathe, Miss Grayson grounds herself.
All right, there's the smile.
OK, I'm back at it.
Thank you for tuning in to the Black Conversion Show,
here on 92.7 FM WMDX,
with your girl, Brandy Grayson.
Prior to break, we were just talking about
what we were talking about.
If you missed it too bad, OK?
Because I only got a couple of minutes
and we have a time to recap.
OK, so what I want to do next is
to provide you with a little education
on Black History.
And the name of this clip, or what it talks about,
is selling to the Negro.
And the reason I want to provide context
is to help us understand the conditioning
of our brain and our mind,
and how we are conditioned to accept things,
and how people market things to us.
And why we think, one, why we think Black people
shouldn't send to Black people,
and why that feels yucky to everybody.
Oh, you got an organization that's about Black people.
And you know, I'm going to say,
I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
I'm going to say, I'm going to say,
I'm going to tell everybody,
Oh, you got an organization that's about
Black people, you're wrong.
You got an organization that's about Latinos.
That's cool, that's cool.
I won't even go and question it, right?
That's the reality we live in.
But I want to bring context to understanding that reality.
It really is indoctrinated,
and really is marketed to us.
Go ahead, Parker, with that clip for me,
Black History, selling to the Negral.
You know, you need to watch an old video
called How to Sal재liche.
ubscribe to our channel.
This is something that's around your watch.
I can't afford that.
What? I'll give you that.
It's in your whole check.
Sell your house for a check.
How to sell to the Negral.
You watch that.
You're going to be like,
they really did this.
Yes, yes.
Here is what sales I call a just have to say
about selling to the Negral.
This was a 1950 story.
The Negral was expressed in one word.
I'm going to say,
I'm going to say,
I'm going to say,
I'm going to say,
I'm going to say,
I'm going to say,
I'm going to say,
I'm going to say,
I'm going to say,
I'm going to say,
I'm going to say,
I'm going to say...
She's telling you the needle is expressed in one word,
that word is recognition.
No, there's nothing unusual about that.
People want to be recognized.
They need recognition?
That's basic and all of us.
But perhaps because he's had so little about it,
the negro needs even more.
He needs to feel important and appreciate it.
This need is a very real and important one.
It shows up even in many of the Negro shopping habits.
Anyone who sells or wants to sell to the Negro customers
should know about some of these habits.
Three habits in particular play a big part in every sales transaction.
To begin with, most Negroes buy by brand.
They ask for credits by name.
They're quick to turn down off brands.
Buying by brand, that's the first important Negro buying habit.
Now for the second, the Negro buys good quality merchandise.
Symbols of quality and prestige are very important to the Negro customer.
This woman, for example, is buying fine crystal air.
But she is also buying the admiration
and approval of her friends and relatives.
Listen to her thoughts.
Isn't it beautiful?
I can hardly wait to show it to Sally and Joan.
It's a well-known fact that many Negro customers are influenced
by the opinions of others.
What their friends may think of a certain item.
Okay, Parker, I'm going to have you cut.
Only because we're running out of time.
So to the folks who are just tuning in to the Black Convergence show
with your girl, Brandi Grayson, on 92.7 FM.
We are discussing, and I've been discussing the indoctrination
of our thought around Black people.
And the reason I played this clip, because it's from 1954, y'all,
is the clip that people, corporations were,
how they were training their, their directors and their marketers
to market to Black people.
And people known as Black that are tuned in,
and folks who have association or proximity to Blackness,
can understand that this, this, this 1954 is 2025.
It's still how we behave.
So I was in a restaurant last week with somebody.
We're eating, and the lady was really rude to us, right?
And we could tell that it wasn't about anything,
but what we look like.
And the person was like, I'm going to give them a big tip.
And I said, why would you tip terrible service?
Because I don't want them to think that I can't.
You feel me?
Why, people, Parker, someone do you wrong?
Would you tip them more or less?
No, I'm probably not.
Yeah.
It's a different reality for us.
So we're always trying to prove to people,
one that we're worthy, we're not that Negro, right?
I'm not that Black person.
Stephen King, right?
He wanted to prove that he's not like Jasmine Crockett
or D.L. Hugley.
He's not an activist.
He don't care about that.
I have a platform in his sports,
and I'm going to stick to sports.
Like, boy, shut your up.
Okay.
So anyway, I digress.
So I want you to understand when I talk about people known as Black
and I talk about us as a community.
White, Black, Brown, and everyone in between
is when I talk about white supremacy
and I provide education.
It's to help us understand how our minds are conditioned.
How our nervous system is conditioned
and how the, like, all people activities from marketing
to social media, to what you see on the news,
to what you read, to how we educate ourselves in academia,
how what books we have access to,
what information we have access to,
what is represented when we view these things,
what we see, smell here, all of those things play a part
in how we see the Negro, right?
And it doesn't matter if it was 1865 or 1920 or 1954 or 2025,
those same techniques are still being used, same strategies,
to convince us that Black women don't need protection.
We don't need to respond that 300 Black women are now unemployed.
And matter of fact, what's happening in this Truman world,
with this Trump and everything in us losing health care
and losing our county budget is being cut with services
and not centering homeless people.
It's like, it's almost like we get to excuse reality
and then be like, well, that's just what was happening at the time.
When Black Lives Matter was happening, I was trending with that.
And I as a white person, I put the signs in my yard.
And now that we're trending with white nationalism
and the backlash of Black Lives Matter,
I'm rocking with that.
And it's nothing I can do.
But let me tell you something, my people,
there is something you can do.
You can show up.
You can show up in spaces.
You can write your older person when they try to cut our funding,
our agency funding across the county.
We've already have 4% cut.
They're trying to cut another 4%.
That means the work that Urban Triage does in housing and homeless
and we're placing people like this.
Like, we do amazing work with stints on the dollar, right?
And they're going to take the stints on the dollar.
We just need to get better.
Say something, do something.
Don't let history repeat itself.
So my point today is it is domestic violence awareness week.
Support rape crisis centers.
Support days.
Support Urban Triage.
Support people that are doing the work y'all.
And I wanted to provide some context on how we see women
and how we're conditioned to see women.
So all right, you know, I got to wrap it up
because civic media only gives me an hour.
And shout out to civic media.
But I'm going to need more time.
I need to be on the air every day.
Don't you think Parker?
I could see that.
You don't know what you're going to say.
You got plenty to say.
You got plenty to say.
Okay, plenty, right?
And it never stopped, Parker.
Right?
And Spider-Man can join me.
Y'all, Parker looks just like Spider-Man.
I'm just saying.
So thank you for being with me today on this beautiful set.
I'm tuning into the Black Conversion Show.
And I'll see you next week.
It's your girl, Brandy Grayson.
And I am out.
