On the wrong page, this was, give me the, they still gave me the

one got the tip space on
gratuity
bottom.
What up y'all?
It is hour two.
Hour two, what it do with the lunch break crew man.
Man, we was just having a real good conversation talking about managers, people staring.
athletes away from investing or being a part of their community.
We got Robert on the line, man.
Let's talk to Robert.
Robert, how you doing, man?
You live with the lunch break crew.
I'm doing
great.
All praise be to the most high.
What's up, because I want to bring the anti-pasta to the family get together.
I think that there should be a way, man, that if we can have YouTube and all these videos of dances that go viral,
This information that you guys are putting out today, there's no way that should not go viral.
We gotta know about us, hear about us and do about us.
Cause everybody do for their people, but you know, we got all these rich black millionaires, they should have to pay tides to the, oh I was gonna say that.
They should have to pay tides to our race man, because without us, they wouldn't be where they are.
they should be able to say well we heard about this black farmer in Arkansas or Phoenix or wherever he is Let's get together help these brothers out because they're doing something positive.
It's not like they They're making blue jeans they're producing food and that is something that's going to be very scarce in the time to come and that's why it's an agenda because
They don't want us to make it through these time to come, but I bet you they got stockpiles of food and water in a cave or a cavern somewhere and they're stopping these athletes from investing into their own community.
How about this?
If they don't invest in us, we don't invest in them.
I don't care if you black my uncle, my sister, my brother.
If you can't help hold the house up, let it fall down on you.
So there's gotta be a way.
Gotta be a waiver and we can't be scared.
to lose in order to win.
So sometimes you have to lose a fight to win one.
You know, so these athletes are doing right around here, man, driving a Rolls Royce and proud and shining and telling everybody what you got and see your brother, your sister hungry.
Shame on you.
And, you know, sometimes you got to stand up and be willing to say, okay, instead of
Spend a $50,000 on a birthday bag for this girl.
Let me take this $50,000 and if you gotta sneak it to the hood to help somebody sneak it to the hood, do what you gotta do.
That's all I gotta say, but we gotta do better over people, man.
actually Especially when you are very passionate about a situation and that's how I'd be I get the flowing and the other words get to come
and almost a good segue into the next segment.
But I'd like to just stay here for a little bit, because the next segment on the menu, we are supposed to be talking about 10 years since Kaepernick took a kneel, right?
It's officially 10 years and what that looked like.
And that was him minding his business because it didn't just start with him taking a kneel and we're going to get into that.
But just to back up a little bit, you know,
Like, what are y'all thoughts?
What do y'all think we need to do as a community?
What do we think we need to do as a community?
Are we too far gone?
Are things changeable?
Are we too far gone as a community, as a race, as a culture to where we are just at the brink of self-destruction and everybody is so programmed on only going for self that we don't care about the village anymore while we watch it burn?
Hmm, I think we should take it to the chat because part of what my my thoughts are kind of are highlighted by RC creation muse 2023 they said Megan the stallion Practically being a chef was mind-blowing.
I originally saw her as a female known for twerking basically showing young people not only
Do not have to be one-dimensional in life and not only is Meg the chef I wanted to Google this and make sure I was correct But she is also a bachelor has a bachelor of science degree in health administration So not only is she practically a chef and very good at cooking not only is she very well-versed not only Is she a great rapper like people might look at it as twerking music?
But when I listen to rap I listen to like the similes and the metaphors and things like that that make you kind of oh, okay
That was like how you said it.
So she's actually way more than one-dimensional.
And I think that's where we have to start.
I feel like where we butt heads is like, you get some of the older community like, man, we don't want to see all that dance and we don't want to see all this and that, which is okay, fair enough.
That's not your cup of tea, but you also have to understand, even with the baddies, I don't watch it.
I wouldn't let my kid watch nothing like that or I would prefer her.
Nah, she a teenager now.
So, you know, they do what they do when you're not paying attention.
But I think.
What we have to understand is we had our things back in the day that our parents probably didn't agree with, but we had to understand that's the world they live in here right now.
So when we talk about the baddies, when we talk about the female rappers that are twerking and doing whatever they're doing, when we talk about the Instagram models, when we talk about the entertainers, it's important to.
Give them education to give to the community because that's who our kids are looking at and that's who they're looking up to They don't want to hear like sometimes they don't they're not ready to hear the full developed product They want to hear somebody that's in it They still want to hear people that's still cool and still in the community and still doing some of the things that they're doing but can also Be that bridge to yo, this is what we need to be doing as a community.
the black community
was referencing.
Because
I believe so because at the end of the day, everybody's always growing and learning.
I think if they were equipped with the right information in the right, I don't want to say propaganda, but if they were.
Talking to the right people that were setting them up with the right information and they were also able to give it to the people that are Washing them and looking at them and believing this is the life to live I think they can do both things at one time or talk about grown because first of all when it comes to what's her name?
Trishon rock
She'd be throwing hands one day, then she'd be in the church praising God and everybody be oh, yeah, see that's why I need to go to church.
I'm like, this is crazy.
I might think it's it's crazy, but it actually is reaching some young people.
People be in them comments like, see, she's a woman of God.
I'm like, wherever the attention is, that's sometimes what we need to be.
Listen, maybe we need to be like, hey, maybe get on there and say that it might be messed up because it's a form of puppeteering.
But at the same time, we know where these kids' eyes are, and we also see what people are entertained by.
I'm not saying everybody need to get up there and start throwing bows, but the ones that are, if we know this is where everybody is,
be sometime.
I'm listening.
So I'm interested in what would D1 say?
You know, okay because you know, I hear you yes, I Think a person that has came from baddie culture that maybe has like shown a transition maybe um But I think it's hard to accept and I'm not saying I'm perfect, right?
But I think it's hard to accept that somebody who is actively on the show
and fighting and be this be that and all the negative given all of these terrible representations of our community that we see.
It just it's just like being in a game.
You feel what I'm saying is seeing it replayed in our community because that is the influence.
That is what social media has heightened.
That's what our community has popularized that this is how you become.
famous.
This is how you become known and you can make money by really making the ass out of yourself and fighting.
Go ahead.
No, go ahead.
No, no,
up.
I took your break for like, oh, okay, let me answer.
it's easy for people that are already...
I think it's people, it's easy for people that have already evolved to say like, I don't want to hear that from somebody like that, but that message wouldn't be for you.
It wouldn't be them trying to teach somebody that's already passed where they are.
You know what I'm saying?
Like
it
would be for the people that are actively watching them and seeing like, okay, this person is doing all these things, but wait, it also looks like she's trying to evolve.
She's also trying to preach a different message.
I think that's where it
It could be for cloud.
It could be for cloud But I do feel like even if it's for cloud, which I think so a lot of what they do is for cloud it also has I know
say people.
Yeah, cuz the eyes are on them.
people
wanted to do the free concert outside of Evolve Church, remember?
Yeah.
And a lot of people did not want him to do the free concert outside of Evolve Church, even though he changed the, the, the whole song, the lyrics, right?
To fit an audience that was more Christian like, and I even had a conversation with somebody about it.
Like, man, you turning Steve the stoner away.
may have just changed his whole input on how he feel about the church.
Or you know what I mean?
That was probably an opportunity to draw him closer and potential some of his followers closer.
So I do understand when you say that, right?
But I think with the Steve the Stoner situation, we could actually point to him taking the
the opportunity to change the lyrics from really wack ass to like, you know, I'm serving God and it's a blessing.
When we come back, we're going to keep this on the menu.
Don't go anywhere, y'all.
When we come back, I want Shannon to respond to this because I think we just got some leftovers that spilled over.
You are listening to the award winning one on one, seven to truth.
This is a lunch break.
Don't go anywhere.
I own everything.
Everything.
I used to be mad at white people when I was young, because I thought they won't fail.
But now that I have all this property, I understand them.
It's fun.
It feels good to walk up to white people like, are you supposed to be here?
Calling the police?
I own so much property in this town, and this is true.
These white people think I'm responsible for their well-being.
That's ridiculous.
Nick, I'm not no public servant.
I'm a capitalist.
I'll be walking down the street, minding my own business, and they come up to me with their concerns.
Dang.
Congratulations, I'm buying the whole goddamn town.
But you need to start thinking about some affordable housing around here.
And I'll be like, well, actually, champ, I can afford my house.
That sounds like some need to worry about because if I think about it, I can afford your house too.
So if you
want to
sell your boy, I'm collecting the whole town.
I'm collecting the whole goddamn town.
Oh, man.
That's hilarious.
Listen, champ.
too.
Being called a king at this is automatically sick
What up, y'all?
Welcome back, welcome back.
You alive with your lunch break crew from the American Family Insurance Studios.
Yes, you are listening to one on one, seven of Truth.
Ray Nitty, maybe Shannon DJ, Brother Z holding us down with the production and sound, man.
That's how Steve the stoner, man, for that ain't it a blessing remix.
Definitely.
And the song is actually good.
Yeah.
That's exactly what I was getting at.
Like we sometimes have to reach the people that are still in it to reach the people that might be interested in, you know, transforming the way they see things.
So I asked a question, right?
And we said, like, OK, is it is it genuine if it was clout?
Or does clout not matter because clout could possibly lead to getting somebody else that may have just looked at it like, oh, they're just doing this.
And because they did it, I now want to, you know, do something different.
But do you then steer that potential soul that you saved?
down a wrong path if they continue to just highlight them smoking around their babies or while being pregnant with their babies or drinking or doing all of these different drugs while pregnant.
I guess at what point do we separate like intentions and physical actions and be like, OK, at some point we got to really start bucking, but you know, buttoning down on what.
This looks
like
How
But I think that's the thing like we shouldn't focus on ourselves And I do know baddies like using that as an example is extreme because that that's what they do They most of them girls probably have some type of mental health issues They're mostly under the influence of some drugs alcohol and some more stuff and they are in need of guidance most of them But the sad truth right now is that's what's dominating our TV screens and if you can get one or two baddies to like
When you think of stories people tell about, like, yeah, I looked up to the neighborhood drug dealer and he told me, stick to school and this and that.
And I listened to them because they want to listen to people that they want to be like,
even if they're
still in the life, I feel like they have a story to tell and they can give you the real and steer you in the right direction, even if they're not ready to be going in the right direction.
That's why I think it's important not to just write these people off, especially when we know that this is what
this generation is looking at.
This is what they're interacting with.
You know what I'm saying?
I feel like when you sell out an event or when you put an event together, you're looking for who's popping, who is this generation looking at?
Who are they paying attention to?
And sometimes to get the eyes on what you want the eyes to be on, you have to use what you know.
You got to use what is it called, the honey to get the bees.
And sometimes that's what it takes.
And like I said, when I gave the example of like the neighborhood drug dealer or whatever, the trapper, whoever like that
gives that
advice, you hear that story all the time
of
them.
Well, I looked up to this person and they were the ones that pretty much told me to go to school to focus on basketball and I listened because that's who I looked up to.
Not everybody wants to hear like.
From the person that's already evolved and where they have to be like this is what you should be doing Go get you a three-piece suit and stand in front of church is like all right now.
I ain't there There no more cousin no more this number like completely 360 but the people that are halfway there the people that can reach across the aisle I think
It's important to have those type of people too.
Or the people that's willing to tell their truth.
Like this wasn't all good.
You know what I'm saying?
Because when it comes to like that type of lifestyle, you do get people like, yeah, you should do it too.
This is awesome.
But then you get those people that's like, man, it wasn't that easy.
This might not be the life for a lot of people.
And it did come with some losses.
So maybe the safe route is better for most people.
And if I could do it again, I would do it the safer route.
But until then, I can have fun.
And you know.
Encourage people to follow their dreams and do the right thing
so do you think that they should then take on the full responsibility of Separating and educating people is like hey this is just for fun right because our brother Z was just saying at like we
We love to say, oh man, it's just entertainment.
You know what I'm saying?
What we doing is just entertainment, right?
But I don't think that that message really resonates with like the actual normal consumer because to us people that know better, it is just entertainment, right?
But to somebody with a mental disability, it is now new programming.
So at what point do we really realize like things that we just, you know, spin off and say, oh, it's just entertainment.
It's just entertainment.
Right.
Where do we start being like, OK, at some point does entertainment?
It turns into programming.
And we're seeing a physical example of in our in our communities of how the actions are, you know.
How our society is playing out that entertainment is literally turning into physical manifestations of programming.
And how do we?
That's where balance comes in.
And I think that's important to find because that's where balance comes in, where it's not always like all of your content is something ratcheted and outrageous.
Like when you see people doing that prank content, there was like a rise in that for a long time.
And then people start being like, dude, that's annoying.
And you saw
people
switch up their content.
So I think that that it is important to have that duality and have people show like, I do this on the regular as well.
You know what I'm saying?
Like.
I don't feel like we're at a point where it's just like everybody mind a business and like that group of people ain't worth saving They ain't worth talking to they're not worth like you know, I'm saying I do think a lot of these people Play a big part in where we're gonna go as
a
society Especially like I said if we already see how big of a hold they have on a lot of the black and brown community
somehow got to get ahold of them and help them spread the message of whatever we have to do to continue to push the community forward.
Let
If they have that much influence.
Absolutely.
And I think you said something well there as well because how it spreads to their community and look at their response, right?
Their response is our entertainment is so.
influential that we don't want to hear no local rap in our bars anymore because in their eyes it's creating a physical manifestation of bad behavior.
Right.
So they make they take physical action steps to change what they deem is for them is when it's impacting their business and their communities.
I don't hear the oh it's just entertainment.
It's, you know, it was just entertainment.
We still going to figure it out.
Like, no, they make physical changes to either eradicate when opioid crisis was something for them.
They gave them the saving all lives act.
But when crack hit art community, it was more, you know, they gave us more of it and they gave us the drug against war.
You feel me?
Yeah.
So it's take.
action to eliminate things, what I say, the drugs against war.
Drugs against war.
We know what you mean, war against drugs.
The war on drugs.
We got you.
You feel what I'm saying?
But it's just very interesting to hear these different levels of when is it, what does intervening look like?
when entertainment becomes programming, when it's impacting our community versus their community.
And we have physical examples of what it looks like, right?
Yeah.
And then we
got,
ahead.
Oh, I was just going to read this comment.
RC creation said there's no balance.
Dave Chappelle was practically told more comedy equals more money.
Megan was told, probably told more twerking equals more money.
Pointing to money money money, but I do think there is balance because they are being told to like I feel like in Dave Chappelle's
example you you're talking about when he's talked about political stuff when he talked about like things being done in our community and stuff like that but there is balance because somebody like me I looked at his comedy and was like dang it's some real stuff to that and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only black or brown person that likes his comedy because when you listen to it it's funny but it's holding the mirror to the community it's holding up some real problems that we need to be facing and it's talking about real things that's
going
on in a laughing but serious matter.
When we talk about Meg, you didn't know, but I knew she was a college student.
I knew she was like, I don't care how much money I make, I'm gonna go ahead and graduate and I'm gonna get this degree even though I could wipe my butt with this degree.
I have so much money.
still did it and she still educated.
tour.
While she was on tour, she can be sexy, she can be fun, she can rap, and she can go and get that degree.
Not let alone, she can also get shot and continue on and face all this criticism and all this backlash and go through all of this stuff that humans go through.
She didn't ban through all these relationships that have obviously bone up in her face in public.
People go through stuff on a daily, but she's still very successful.
She's still very educated and we can't take that from her.
So I don't feel like there's, you can't, you can't say there's no balance when the balance has been seen, even though one thing wants to be pushed.
Sure.
But when there's balance, it's, it's dangerous and it's proven in that, but we're going to go and break.
All right, give us a call at 833-212-217.
If you have
questions,
comments, or concerns, we're also live in the chat, 101.7, The Truth on YouTube.
We'll be right back after these
messages.
What up?
What up?
What up?
Welcome back.
Welcome back.
Welcome back.
Yes, you are now listening to The Lunch Break, your favorite time of the day.
Ray Nitty, maybe Shannon DJ, Brethren Z holding us down with the production and sound.
Hope y'all feeling good, man, on this Tuesday.
Man, we having a real good conversation right now, man.
How you feeling, Shannon?
You want to finish this meal up, or you want to go on to the next course?
I think the last part of what the last part that I wanted to add was like as far as like how do we support each other and how do we like move forward business wise is supporting each other's business but as well teaching how to be good business owners because we see that's a whole nother conversation right we see how like customer service ain't always um
at the top of its game sometimes.
And I think that's kind of, I think that's what we will, what a lot of times like when we talk about like patronizing black businesses and keeping the dollar in our community and looking out for each other in that sense, I think that that sometimes be the top thing people come, well, they customer service be bad and stuff
like that.
So I think it's important to each good customer service and soft skills in our community and things of that nature.
Also finding good businesses to patronize and highlight and uplift in the ones that you truly do Feel like give you good customer service.
So that was the last of because I know a while back we talked about like Before we got an on this tangent.
that was in there somewhere Because I feel like that was part of one of the questions a lot few breaks ago and I was like
You're in another.
And maybe on another show, we could do a deeper dive into this, because I do think it is very important about influence or entertainment becoming programming.
And what is the responsibility of the consumers and the creators of the programming?
And how do we educate people that hate?
This is just entertainment, but we may be so influential that it is also programming people to actually act out these things and try to turn it into their real life situations.
So we should definitely get into that as we move the menu along Shannon.
We was talking about Jalen Brown exposing the NBA, right?
And it made us go to the 10 year anniversary.
August 26 actually made it 10 years.
2016 is when Colin Kaepernick, somebody from Milwaukee, he was born in Milwaukee.
A lot of people don't know that.
He also gave money to Urban Underground and a couple other nonprofit organizations in the city of Milwaukee as well.
That's right.
That's, I can't believe it's been so long.
Like here in 2016 doesn't.
Don't
we mean?
Ten years.
So speaking of people that take a stance for their communities and being steered elsewhere to do so, Colin Kaepernick, very, very, very rising star in the NFL beat the Packers and was at the conference championships to go to the Super Bowl.
That pissed me off.
But anyway.
20, 20 and 26 of August in 2016.
Kaepernick sat on it.
And this is a very interesting story of how we even got to the kneeling.
That's the funny part about
this,
And it's funny how that person came up since.
But Kaepernick sat on the 49ers bench during the anthem before a preseason game, saying afterwards he wouldn't stand up and show pride and a flag for a country that oppresses black people.
He just sat on the side.
I think in the beginning, he used to stay in the locker room until the song was over and then come out.
I think they asked him to come out, but then he came out.
Then he just sat on the side, right?
So on the 26th that happened, August 30th.
Former NFL player and Green Beret, Nate Boyer suggested kneeling instead of sitting as a more respectful posture toward the military while still protesting.
And if you know anything about kneeling, kneeling was a sign of respect.
It was a, if somebody was injured on a, on a sports field or whatever the case, maybe you took kneel, you took a kneel to show respect or show reverence for certain things, right?
And.
Right.
September 1st, exactly 10 years ago today, Kaepernick Nelt for the first time before game against the Chargers, pledging $1 million to community organizations.
Shaw saw urban underground.
They got part of that money.
President Obama defended his constitutional right to protest days later.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said he didn't personally agree, but supported players' rights to advocate for change.
And there's more, but we're going to get into it.
I'm going to let that breathe for a second, Shannon.
I want you to think about that.
Use money on business.
Somebody it's
like he was trying to do the right thing after like after being told Oh, this is the respectful thing to do But in my opinion anything a black person do if it ain't what they want you to do
it's gonna be
done wrong There's no respect anything anytime you taking up for yourself even time anytime you speaking on something that matters to you and your community as we see
in the
Jalen Brown situation You're gonna be called crazy and everything under the sun even when you are
Clearly an educated person.
So that's what I think about that.
There was nothing he could have done.
I feel like to soften that blow.
to take that out the narrative though.
They take it out the narrative
They cropped him out, but it wasn't about the Neil it was about what he was kneeling for Let's be honest Let's be honest
Because one soldier was kneeling because it still showed respect to the country and the flags, right?
But he's like, all right, I'm a Neil still show respect for the flag in the country or whatever.
Exactly.
So he still got the run around.
Let's keep it going now, right?
Just had to paint that picture for you all real quick.
It's 10 years now.
Kaepernick hasn't played in the NFL since 2016 and says he hasn't watched a single NFL game since being eggs out.
He follows college football is steady, filed a collusion grievance against the league with former teammate Eric Reed.
That's somebody else who also took a kneel with him.
It settled February 2019 for an undisclosed amount.
I wonder how much that money won.
The Dale has said on multiple occasions, he doesn't believe Kaepernick was black boy.
Shut the hell up.
How?
How does somebody go from taking a NFL team to the Super Bowl?
And soon as they speak up, this person is no longer good to be in the NFL.
Wild.
Come on now.
Like the receipts don't point to him being black boy.
Like it's not the obvious answer.
Come on now
Couldn't get couldn't get workouts for teams no team would you telling me all these quarterbacks that was being signed they still I think Tim Tebow was still in the league at the time Bunch of terrible quarterbacks Terrible he didn't even get a workout
He couldn't even get a workout.
Trash bags.
A claim.
Capitalic.
Directly disputes.
I'm not going to support an organization that one is actively blackballing me, but two has targeted my brothers who have been protesting as part of this as well.
In his memoir, the proof.
Yep.
That fight released September 15.
This week in NBC News interview, a new ACLU award, they got a bunch of stuff going on.
Mark's the most he's spoken publicly about the fallout in years.
I gotta check that interview out.
He's also said to receive the Muhammad Ali Centers for Humanitarian of the Year award in November.
Sociologist Harry Edwards has called him this generation's Ali.
Still puts in a 430 AM workout most days, a decade removed from his last NFL snap.
Kaepernick's own framing his football career may be over, but his life work is not.
And we've talked about Kaepernick a couple of times.
He paid for, he helped pay for the new defense for, uh, who was that?
Was it the Nolan Wells case or the independent autopsy?
Was
it?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah, he had he did I think his organization or something like that so He's still doing the work, but it's just unfortunate that he's still doing like we said before like just because we don't hear about the struggles It ain't like they look they still dealing with him.
Hmm straight up so Cabinic is probably the most extreme we real world proof of exactly what Jalen Brown is describing and I think that's what we are trying
to explain to you all here, right?
Kaepernick didn't just get stared away from a cause.
He lost his entire career over refusing to be stared away from one.
Hmm.
His whole career, how you provide for his family, how he is able to continue to fund a lot of these.
Organizations that he cares about.
So.
Brown is describing a quieter, ongoing version of the same pressure system that ended Kaepernick's playing days.
All right, when we come back.
When we come back, we'll continue this and just wrap this segment up, y'all.

So for parents, choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you will make.
At Milwaukee College Prep, we don't take that responsibility lightly.
Hear your child more than a student.
They're a young person we get to know by name, by strengths, and by the areas where they need the most support.
Together as a family and school, we work every day to help them grow, learn, and build the confidence to reach their full potential.
We partner closely with families, provide steady support, and act early when challenges arise so every child can thrive.
Your child's growth, well-being, and success are the heart of everything we do.
We would love to meet you and your child in person to share more about how we work together.

Man, the menu was full today.
It was it was a good menu.
What you what you got, Shannon?
What you got?
What do you think about?
I had a
question.
I think a lot of things.
I think I gave my thoughts on the past things, but I did have a question like it sounds completely off the rails because we didn't get to this part of the menu.
But I wanted to ask, would you eat kangaroo meat willingly if it tastes like I still even if you do it.
I just want to know because Loki, I don't care what I mean long as the season.
So you don't think it's so you don't think it's kangaroo?
No.
Kangaroo is not even authorized to be shipped much like first of all, why would these like who would go through so much trouble to go way down under.
And in Australia, somebody said veggie tails Hello Who telling it?
I want it if it's season proper.
Come on now.
Let's do that thing But we gotta stop it.
We gotta stop it kangaroo is not nobody is gonna go through so much hassle to sell you kangaroo tail over regular ox tail
Do you know are you sure?
I'm a thousand first of all
Like listen, they just said from what Albanian of 30,000 pounds of Albanian meat got through the listing got through the border not checked I'm just playing okay, maybe
taking flight over here Do
Oxtail already at like 35 bucks.
I pay from Sir Kangaroo Tail.
And it's gonna be more expensive.
We just talked about how much more expensive American products is outside of America.
Like, come on now.
Ain't nobody shipping no illegal kangaroo here to sell you a common item.
We gotta stop it.
That's too much work to scam now.
Somebody showed me a picture.
They said ox tail is circle the bonus circle with the meat around it and kangaroo tail is the bonus shape like a star
saying when I begin an ox tail sometimes
shape
a
secretly
selling kangaroo tail labeled as beef oxtail sparked by social media posts and a few idiots showing unusually large or different looking oxtail cuts.
The real answer kangaroo meat is not approved for import into the United States by the USDA.
A meat department employee at the store originally named
in the viral claim confirmed their ox tail comes from a standard USDA approved supplier.
All right.
The argument circulating alongside the claim that ox somehow means tail.
So ox tail could come from any animal is false.
Ox descends from the old English proto Germanic word, meaning male cattle, not tail confirmed by linguistic sourcing.
What's likely actually happening people is normal biological variation in cattle breed age and size produces Oxtail cuts that look noticeably different from each other a Genuinely huge Oxtail is probably just a larger animal not a different species All right could be a bison so you tell me how
you tell us we not eating
We ain't eatin' nothin' special.
First of all, I don't even think, I don't know why people be thinkin' they sold that up top that, like, you gon' be eatin' kangaroo.
Like, it's just squizzin'.
I think most people are pissed off about it, though.
I'm like, what?
Most people are like, they're selling kangaroo meat!
I'm gettin' people insulting me, talkin' about, man, nigga, yo, people over there eatin' up kangaroo t- Like, nigga, where we get kangaroos from in the islands?
It's
like a game of telephone.
It's just getting worse and worse.
