Rufus King is Just Different

What up y'all

To the award winning one-on-one seven the truth.

This is boy Ray Needy Prince of the city DJ brother Z holding us down with the production and sound man.

Yes, this is the extended lunch break Molding it down for Aunt Viv man couple more days of your boy Just keeping the seat warm for you know Keeping the seat warm for Aunt Viv.

We had a very very Very um good conversation today very very good conversation

was talking about body.

I'm not even going to attempt to say the word.

But essentially, you know, plastic surgery, people, not just women, because the conversation was very women dominant.

But men go through it as well, where, you know, they change their bodies in order to look a certain way, feel a certain way, all of these different things that we do to make ourselves.

feel better and people call it, you know, lack of self-esteem or they don't like themselves or whatever the case may be.

You know, I just think it is.

I almost want to say our responsibility as men to let women know, like, hey, you're beautiful the way you are.

And if you choose.

to enhance yourself, that is up to you.

You do what you want to do with your body, because the choice is ultimately yours.

But do not alter it on our behalf, thinking that is something that we are looking for, because the mass majority of men that I communicate with, it's not something that they look for.

It's not something that they desire in women.

Sure, do do do men take a peek and oh, man.

But we had a brother calling to say, you know, you're like, what did I just get myself into?

Yeah, I didn't say I wasn't gonna look.

So, but it's just, you know, it's just not something that I, from what I've heard fellas say, it's not just something that they keep at home with them.

So yeah, and it's no disrespect, no disrespect, all love, all love.

I just, you know, feel like black women, you know, it's OK to remind black women that they are the prototype.

They are what everybody else is, in my opinion, what everybody else is seeking to be like, to become.

From your swag from your fashion to your bodies to where y'all wear your hair to everything Okay, you all are the prototype so Just wanted to share that with y'all as we continue this conversation here today It was a lot we didn't get to on the lunch break All right

Somebody says, if it's one thing a man should spend money on or do not want to lose, it's his hair.

And I don't know if I'm going to be spending no money on my hair, man.

When these start, you know, start looking like the other guy.

Then.

Yeah, I'm going to let it go.

I ever start looking like the other nitty by the hair.

It's time to let it go.

But as I stated, it was a lot we did not get to.

It was a lot we didn't get to in the lunch break.

So let's see if we can get into it right now.

Where is this?

So we talked about earlier today, we talked about the Rufus King situation.

And I don't think we got to fully get into it because it was time to do what's popping with Shannon and what's popping with Shannon was popping.

So we had to continue the conversation.

But if you just joined in us and during the lunch break show, Brother Z played a video about what's going on.

We don't we're not going to play it again because I think.

For the most part, Milwaukee is familiar with what's going on.

But I read what I did read already again for you all.

So Thursday morning, September 24th around 10, 10 a.m.

Rufus King International High School, a 23-year-old woman named Amy Jones walks through the front doors.

tells whoever is listening that she's a substitute teacher and writes her name on the signing sheet and that was it.

She was then assigned a class and that was the whole security check.

A name on a sheet of paper.

And this is interesting to me because with that being the security, that's the only security check, right?

But because of Act 12 and all of these things, we had to put

police officers in schools and all of these things.

And it just, in my opinion, once again, these are just my thoughts that I am rambling off here.

We prioritize, you know, putting the police in the school, prioritizing it, which is supposed to be for safety.

But we don't prioritize the safety measures or the check-in measures.

So it's like, was it just to put a police in the school just to fill a quarter and say, hey, we pay them all police now because we got to put them in NPS?

Or are they really there doing a job?

Because how?

How does somebody fake being a print assistant a substitute teacher?

And just get into the school.

How and teach three classes.

So when we talk about like.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I am not above.

Being correct.

Y'all know that being corrected, I should say.

So I'll tell everybody in the chat to Christine Jasmine West.

I almost said maybe Shannon and Ray Nitty.

Robert Lance.

Shots out to Coolest.

Coolest Steph.

Or Cole Stephens.

Ah, my bad.

I said Coolest Steph.

R.C.

Shots out to everybody in the chat, man.

Share the live.

Share the live, y'all.

We got a lot to talk about, right?

So, how?

How did somebody pull that off?

Yesterday we talked about

Work ethic being low and poor.

Well, we were talking about DaVinci talking about America's work ethic being low and poor.

And we're not going to get into the whole gist of the conversation from yesterday, but we talked about the work ethic being low and poor.

Americans from its government.

has been programmed to be more relaxed, more not focused, more focused on Internet and things of that nature.

So I asked the question, when can we have the conversation?

And maybe people don't think none of these have anything to do with each other.

But.

I am I am asking a question.

What type of work ethic is going into protecting our kids?

Because that is scary for any parent to know that somebody could walk in off the street.

Anybody could walk in off the street, look apart.

I would love to know what this person showed up to work.

And then if you hear the conversations the individual was having with the students.

If you hear the conversation the individual was having with the students, I'm not talking about the transcript report of what was written.

In the police report, I'm talking about the actual video that students played on social media.

We can't play it here.

I'm going to tell you that right now.

We can't play it here.

Going into the school asking young people, are you virgins?

Y'all ain't having sex yet.

Like, let's be real.

Y'all you telling me y'all still.

You know, talking about the guys in the Stoles and how they was the only ones that ever showed her love.

Them, the only ones that really cared.

I want you all to listen to this.

Listen to the thought process when.

Somebody like Da Vinci say, I had a level of.

You know, in competency.

And we get offended by it.

But then we see things like this happen.

And I don't know if this is even in competency or not, because you got to be pretty damn smart or savvy or brave or something to be like, I'm going to go fake being a substitute teacher.

Not go get a real job.

I'm going to go fake a job.

Because when I was bored and I just wanted to mess around and I hate kids.

This is what.

Somebody said and got into Rufus King School and told to the students.

When we come back, we're going to get into more of this conversation right here on the award winning one on one seven the truth.

Don't go anywhere.

This is a story about-

A control.

My control.

Control of what I say.

Control of what I do.

And this time I'm gonna do it my way.

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Are we ready?

I am.

Cause it's all about control.

And I've got lots of it.

What up y'all welcome back to the award-winning one-on-one seven the truth Milwaukee black talk Live from the American family insurance studios.

It's your boy Ray nitty Brother Z holding it down with the production and sound we having a conversation y'all We having a conversation and Some comments as well in the chat

Let's go see what we talking about.

Loran says, Loronte.

Loran says, we had a cop in school in the 80s and you did not see them unless they were called in the parking lot or walk in the halls.

Security guards occasionally were at the doors.

Jasmine says, sounds like she came to avenge something.

Loran also says, now at the same school, kids have a fob and they swipe it to get into school.

and the doors for every class so they know where you are at all times.

That's interesting.

Abstract says you cannot call a whole group of people lazy like he did or incompetent.

You cannot say that Will Smith, Michael B. Jordan are incompetent actors.

He don't even touch on the crime in the Caribbean community in Brooklyn.

Two years ago at the Caribbean Day Parade, somebody got killed and they blamed the Yankees.

Abstract.

What's popping, man?

You bring up some some very good points.

You bring up some very good points.

And yes, you are right.

I don't think it's right to label a whole group of individuals.

Y'all know how I feel about I won't even reference The thing that I've referenced so many times when people have labeled a whole genre of folks a problem or stigmatize it in Whatever way people or society deem fit, right?

so you absolutely right you cannot call a whole group of people lazy and

I'm like I said, I don't think he called a whole group of people lazy.

I think he says America is pushing its country.

And citizens to be more lazy.

Now, what he said after that and all the other things he may have said in the past, that's a whole different conversation.

But beyond.

Beyond.

Us talking about.

You know what he can and can't do we ask this question was some of the things that he said was right I ain't saying the way he said it was right But pull pulling away now now that we we got all our feelings and emotions out there You know We got all our feelings out the way we we we expressed ourselves that a you can't

label folks like that, you can't speak like that, sure.

We may have different views on what people took from what was said, but that's okay.

And I agree, you can't label people, you can't label a whole genre of people or whatever.

But after we get out of our feelings, after we've shared how we felt, is the things that he said, was it true?

Is America.

And the toll of America is it causing.

And people might not agree with what said, but is the reading levels decreasing in the country?

Are people becoming way more disrespectful in the country?

Is things becoming way more aggressive in the country?

Is mental health declining in the country?

is our community consistently declining in this country?

Yes, we have amazing things happening in our community.

We do.

We have amazing things happening in our community.

So does that mean we ignore the things that is harming us?

And we talk about when can we have the conversation?

Here it is right here.

A byproduct.

In my opinion of some of the things that he said, I, I'm sorry, you have to have some sort of mental thing going on that you would even think to go through with a plan like this.

Now you're facing 21 years in fair time.

Then.

You have staff that just let it happen.

And I say this again, what if this wasn't somebody who was just coming to just mess around?

What if it was somebody who was seeking to do something?

We have all of this evidence and history of mass shootings and schools and all of these different things that's happening across the nation.

It should not be that simple to just enter a school and a class.

It makes me even wonder if they didn't even check if the person was a real teacher that was supposed to be there.

Did they check for firearms?

Did they check for weapons?

Did they check for anything?

I'm going to assume no with that as well.

We got another comment.

Somebody says if she was a white woman, no harm done.

She could have just chalked it up as a mental wellness.

What was that sister thinking about to go into Rufus King and do that?

White women that do white women.

That is who I thought it was.

I was one of us.

I was one of our Black Americans.

I'm going to assume this was American.

But it's a real conversation to have.

It shouldn't be that easy to get into our public schools and pose as somebody else and teach three classes.

That is insane.

That is insane and it is unacceptable.

And what new measures will go into place to ensure that this type of thing doesn't happen again?

And I asked this question, has it happened before?

Has this person even done this before?

Because was this the first time they thought of this great idea?

So what happens next, y'all, a real teacher meets.

A real teacher meets her, spends the first 20 minutes helping her set up class materials.

20 minutes side by side, and nothing clicks.

Then the teacher steps out of the room, because of course, I'm out of here.

She got a, there's a substitute here, I'm gonna go chill.

And according to the criminal complaint, that's when Amy Jones showed who she really was.

She started cursing at the kids using racial slurs, made sexual explicit comments.

She organized the students by race and gender in a classroom like it was some kind of experiment bragged about having felonies and being fine with going to jail.

Blasted rap music at full volume mocked the kids, their weight, their race, their looks, their money.

And then she asked the room if anybody had a vape or some marijuana.

Because in her words, the class was so effing lame and annoying.

Let's go talk to Milisand.

I'll say it right this time.

How you doing, Milisand?

You should have right this time.

Don't say that they need to change something with security at the school.

Because what's going to happen is, it's going to be a mama.

They come up there, they don't let them in, and it's going to be some mess.

And here's them, they let me in here to see my kid.

So yes, what happened was bad.

She shouldn't have got in there.

But I can imagine, that time in the morning, it was 50 million things going on, and SHIT happened sometimes.

And it happens to all of us.

Now, the things that she said in that classroom,

Let's be honest.

I didn't think it's a thing that we're through.

And a lot of them did have a great deal on them.

So it was just like, there was something told me, and there's been no shooting at it because when they walked through the door, they go through the same thing.

So that's why she wasn't armed.

So that part, I didn't want to correct, she was not armed.

But yeah.

But don't do that, because now you're going to have a parent that's going to come up there.

You're not going to let them in, because she don't have her ID or whatever it is now they need to give in.

And it's going to be some

more mess.

Don't go anywhere real quick, Melissa.

I want to ask you another question.

So you say don't change it, right?

But would you say that the system is flawed, then, that somebody that who was just looking to mess around

could walk into a school, sign a paper and be issued a class and get help setting up the class.

So there needs to be some

sort of change.

It's sad that we have to do all the things to keep people out.

I'm not making an excuse that what happened was bad, but if we put other things that will eliminate another parent or somebody else who ran in to get their sister and a child, that's going to be a bigger issue than this.

And this is just the other side note that I noticed she did it at Rooney too.

You said set out again

I'm sorry, I can't hear what you just said

Thank

you She had weave in her here to notice what she had in her here man, um, I I could understand what

Millison is saying right you don't want to change anything that's good as a matter of fact Let's go to break and then when we come back we'll continue the conversation right here on the award-winning one on one seven the truth

What up y'all welcome back to the award-winning one-on-one seven of truth live from the American family and sharing studios.

It's your boy Ray Nitty Prince of the City holding it down.

Brother Z got us with the production and sound.

How y'all feeling?

How y'all

Feeling how y'all feeling, man, we having a conversation.

It's it's easy.

It's easy to walk in an MPS school and fake like a substitute teacher.

And you know, we had cousin Melisa call up and say that, you know, don't change nothing about security because now you're going to make it harder for a parent to get in.

I don't think that is a security measure that needs to be changed based off of like parents visitation.

That is a personnel that is that is staff What is the process for staff checking in?

I'm sorry like The school should know one who the I'm assuming maybe some You know substitute teachers could call in and educate me, please I would assume that the school would know who

The substitute teachers are that are assigned to their schools for that day Then I would assume that there's a check-in system that they follow And then I'm like how did this person even know Which class or whatever like it just not added up it feel like so much was dropped the ball was dropped so many times How is it possible

So how did this end y'all the students did what the adults did it?

They got up after class went straight to the staff and reported her police escorted her out of the building when detective asked her why she did it her answer Was she was bored?

Won't you listen to these things now?

And when we so mad at, yeah, I ain't saying he was right for whatever, but we really mad at, what's the name, but we don't be equally mad at ourselves.

She said she was bored, she hates kids, she just wanted to eff around.

Okay?

We're gonna talk to Blake and then we're gonna tell you about the part that should chill.

Every parent Blake, how you doing boss?

What's up, bro?

Man, I can't complain man talk to him.

How you feel about this way?

Okay, this is awesome about it.

I hung out and my daughter school So much they was like mr. Blake, we don't put you on the payroll Okay, cool, and then I end up coaching refereeing Security all that but then before that I did NPS first start and I did STC last start

Whoever pays your check gives you paperwork the school is alerted They get a paper saying who's coming and you come and you meet the person that you're that's in charge of the building What she did was by her being a former student am I correct?

She's a former student of Kings.

Yeah from what I understood.

So what she did was her goofy butt went to the classes that she had

Most likely them to the room she knew That's what she did that the room she went to if I had a room she knew but for the teacher to set her up and help her They know who those eight people are when your feelings are called to come in they know who's coming ball drop I see

lawsuit

Man, I'm just saying, would you say that's poor work ethic going on over there?

I just said it.

Now, they don't

do it.

Now, he did play a good role in being there with the fake flow knife.

Yeah.

You know, you know, he did play, like he did play the good dog thing, but that was because they put the thing in there.

But, um, he's cocky.

And he's like, he's efficient, eight years old, believing his parents had jobs up here, up in New York.

So for him, not even to be, you have more struggle than dude.

You got more right to talk about, uh, the immigrants and the work at the heat, who you never, much from your story from the planning and what's your, what's your mom and you and your getting, your assistant and getting here to do, you got the two way, you got the, not refugee, no disrespect, but the way you got here, G, the way you got here, G, you got more to say than do in the way he, when you're asking now, you have no idea you're asking now until you're

humbled.

But if he had right points to him saying what he said, but you know what I mean?

Don't don't don't talk short of you ain't been in the been in the job.

You just did to the zoo maker.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

Appreciate appreciate you calling because of Blake, man.

And like, I feel what Blake is saying.

I feel what Blake is saying, but it makes me ask the question.

Jesus, Chris Brown, baby mama, I need 45 K a month.

It makes me ask the question like.

Because people can say he had some points.

So just I'm just asking this simple question.

Are are the points less valid because of how somebody delivered it?

Are the points less true?

because of how somebody delivers it.

And do we not have to address the points that were made, and now we're just talking about the delivery of what was said?

Yes, I agree with abstract.

You can't label a whole generation of people or a whole group of people.

That's not fair, that's not true.

I 100% agree.

But for a sector of our I'm not going to say community of our country.

For a section of our country, is that true?

And it's not just.

Black community.

I'm talking about.

Citizens at all, because people would say, what about the trailer parks?

People that live in the trailer park.

A lot of people got their stereotypes that they say about them.

But I want us to get back to how do we address what's actually going on.

And, you know, not getting stuck in how it made us feel.

My mama always said a hit dog on holla.

a hit dog on holla.

And that don't mean we wrong for feeling away.

You can feel offended.

But also, can we step back and be like, all right.

Because I'll be honest with you, sometimes I'll be feeling like I defend Milwaukee and young Milwaukee so much.

Y'all told me I was crazy for not sending them kids to jail.

They said I was crazy.

Plenty of people was calling for them to go to jail.

Some even said if it was them, they would have shot him.

So when do we address the actual issue?

When do we get to that?

But here's the part that should chill every parent about the situation, right?

They said Jones scouted the school beforehand.

She knew the routine.

She signed herself in as Amy Jones sub.

And the kicker was she's a former Rufus King student and she left identifying documents behind in the classroom.

Which is how administrators figured out who she was.

Principal Doreen Badillo, Badillo.

Only thought the call only thought the call to substitute agency after the students complained and the agency said they never heard of her So I just have a like so where they just short a substitute for the day like what if this Fake substitute never showed up.

Would it just not have been a sub for that data?

So where it stands right now, the DA charged Jones with one felony count of impersonating a public employee in five counts of exposing children to a harmful descriptions.

If convicted on all of it, she is looking at up to 21 years in prison and $60,000 in fines.

She's doing court today, Tuesday, October 6th, y'all.

Okay October 6th She doing court today So the question is not who is Amy Jones We know who she is The question is how a stranger walks into a Milwaukee high school Claims a classroom and gets 20 unsupervised minutes with other people's children on the strength

of a signing sheet.

They said she was there for three periods.

I asked the question, was it an ID check?

Where was the call to the agency before she got the keys to the room?

And if it happened in Rufus King, the school MPS holds, they try to say it's a flagship school.

What does that say about every other building in the district?

And I promise I love NPS proud Riverside University alumni All right When we come back y'all we gonna get into this another NPS mess if you saw the video

of the teams at Tech when they pulled up on another young team.

Up to Leonie, smacked him with the pistol.

This is what's going on.

When we come back, we'll get into this right here on the award-winning

What up, y'all?

Welcome back to the award-winning one-on-one, 70 Truth Live from the American Family Assurance Studios.

It's your boy, Ray Neady, Prince of the City.

Brother Z holding us down with the production and sound.

Man.

Sick of these spam college or Skin ridiculous who's selling my information and why I ain't getting the cut of it That's what I want to know.

You shouldn't be able to sell somebody info Without them getting the piece of it.

What does a man to say the points are not less true?

However, the onus is on the person trying to communicate something to packages

it in a way that the message will be reasonably received.

Also says the mark of a good communicator is someone who can explain it in a way that the intended audience can receive it and then impact the expected outcome.

If the message only pissed people off, you failed.

Sometimes people need to get pissed off.

Keep babying.

I'm just playing More NPS mess y'all And this one was kind of you know Disturbing but it ain't nothing we ain't seen before right?

Kids at Tech High School Bradley Tech NPS trade and technology school

And in a video, we're not going to play the video.

But if you saw the video.

It's about three, maybe two or three individuals approach another kid.

One of them points a gun to him.

And essentially, that's really the whole story that we saw.

But.

was holding a gun pointing it at another kid.

And it sounded like it stemmed from somebody else who passed away.

And there have seemed to be a level of disrespect.

That was.

Shared on the young person that passed away.

So these these these young homies, you know, they pull up.

They pull up for the ones that they spin and fall.

Not saying I agree with it.

I'm saying this is what we deal with as a community and we could try to ignore it if we want to.

We could try to ignore it if we want to.

There are pages, social media pages.

Where these young people are showing their getbacks.

pulling up on Ops's houses and shooting them up.

And this is going on the internet.

I don't know if the page is still active.

These kids is documenting what it is that they doing.

They trying to humiliate the individual that spoke bad about the dead person that they love.

So now they they got to record each other doing this nonsense to each other.

And it's getting dangerous.

You getting individuals that are just shooting at random houses, sometimes even the wrong houses.

Where other young people end up dying and losing their lives.

And you have organizations like.

Office of Community Wellness and Safety that got to be on there for first response and praying for the families and trying to make sure there's no retaliation.

This is what's going on in our community.

This is what's going on.

Last week, a stranger walked in the Rufus King with nothing but a fake name and got a classroom.

Now a gun pointed at a kid caught on video.

They shared it.

And it seems like the official response is silence.

That's what it seems like.

Yeah, we'll be loud on people be loud online and be like, I'm tired of this.

Something has to stop.

We need to stop the violence so easy to type.

So easy to be active on your computer.

It's easy to say stop the violence on your computer.

These aren't the same incidents, but they're the same question.

Who is watching the buildings where Milwaukee.

Children spend their days.

The kids in that video aren't strangers to the conversation we're about to have, y'all.

A gun in a teenager's hands hand.

The teenager's hand doesn't appear out of nowhere.

It comes from somewhere, a house, a street and older somebody who handed it over or left it.

where it could be found or they break it in the cars.

Says that's what's going on in some areas of the community.

We just talked about making blanket statements about everybody 20 minutes ago.

Some areas of the community kids are actually doing kids stuff and that's fine.

But we talking about the kids that aren't doing kids stuff right now.

Respectfully, Brother Loran, we talking about the ones that aren't right now.

We love to dilute the problem with, oh, let's not make a blanket statement because the kids are over there doing good.

Like, okay, that's amazing.

So because the kids,

On another side of town is doing good.

We're not supposed to have this conversation.

We talking about, we want MPS to be fully funded.

We can't have real conversations.

We got the CEO or the superintendent of MPS, damn there again, the 350K package based off of pay and incentives.

So we can't we can't because it's good kids out there.

So ignore the ones that's that needs to be talked to or conversation that needs to have.

What about the bad ones that are going into schools and creating these issues and shooting up houses and innocent people get killed?

What about it?

Where's the blanket statement?

Where's the blanket urgency?

Where's the blanket concern for the innocent kids that's sitting in their homes?

and getting hit by stray bullets.

Where's the blanket concern for them families?

Because I was out there with some of them families when Office of Violence Prevent and it hurts my heart to see these families go through it.

And then to see people behind computers, just say things, but don't show up to help, not saying folks aren't.

But where is the blanket concern in?

Because it should be a blanket concern about what's going on.

It should be.

Because respectfully, Brother Loran, if a handful of the ones that, you know, are causing the problem started coming up to the Mequon situation out there.

And making it a little bit more treacherous in the mall.

And people don't feel safe getting their pizzas.

We would want to have a blanket statement about it.

Then we will be concerned that because it's impacting us.

I'm just asking questions.

I'm just asking questions.

Where's the blanket concern?

We get so offended.

about people telling the truth about our community.

Just because somebody tell the truth, that don't mean they're ignoring all the good.

I always said, man, we got so much good going on here.

We got so much good going on in the city.

I'm with you, Loran.

That's why I'm with you, Loran, because I know you brought it up here and I've even said to you, what about the good kids?

So I'm with you a hundred percent, but right now I feel like we can't be we can't tiptoe around this because what What intrigues me the most right is that the city has the data because it's it's not even a small group of in it It's not even a large group of individuals that they say when we talking about young people, right?

Not talking about the adults.

That's just

out here living wild and reckless.

You know, we talking about the young people that they like to label.

So the young people that they like to label, they have information and data that says it's only a handful of less than 200, less than 150, if I'm not mistaken.

They know them.

So if we know them,

And we have the data.

I once again, I am not employed by any organization that deals with this type of work or so forth.

I commend everybody doing first responder work, frontline work, violence, intervention work, police work, any type of work.

What up y'all welcome back to the award-winning one-on-one seven the truth live from the American Family Assurance Studios.

It's your boy Ray Nitty Brother Z holding us down with the production and sound man.

We having a good conversation.

We having a good conversation a 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is the number to dial a 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 is the number to dial and quick correction I Got a text message

I want to make sure that it was stated that the situation that happened with the students outside of tech, it was brought to my attention that the kids did not go to tech.

So I just want to make sure we deliverin' good information.

They did not go to tech.

Now I don't know if the kid that they pulled up on went to tech.

I'm going to assume that.

Just wanted to correct that.

All right.

So.

Talking about the situation.

Where a few kids that we just spoke about pulled up to tech.

All right.

And what we saw.

Couple kids.

For the life of me, I'm like.

The other kid, he wasn't even fearful.

He just had his hands up and moving back.

I don't even.

The young people are so numb.

He's so numb right now.

We don't know the kids names and we're not trying to find out on the radio.

All right.

The point isn't who.

It's that this is what normal is starting to look like and nobody with a title, let me say this lightly.

Not enough people, let me not say nobody because words have power.

Not enough people with a title is treating it like an emergency.

Not enough.

A gun pointed at a kid on video outside of an MPS school.

We won't say outside of an MPS school.

And they say no news coverage, but it was some news coverage.

No district statement says, what does the silence say?

What do we say?

So this is the world that our meat and potatoes conversation lives in.

The kids with guns aren't an abstraction.

All right.

Some in the hallways, we saw videos of kids in schools with guns.

We seen it.

We can act like we didn't, but we did.

But the conversation today, right?

And I always talk delicate about our young people.

But today's conversation is can we have the conversation now?

Or are we waiting until it's too late?

And I guess it's my responsibility to deliver this conversation in a manner that is received palatably by the audience without offending people.

But respectfully I'd be feeling offended that nobody else is offended by what's going on Okay Can we have the conversation now Or are we waiting until it's too late, okay, it's not a safe world for our kids out there

Okay, it's not safe So But before we talk about some more Milwaukee we got go to West Virginia I don't know if anybody listening to us got Virginia family in the building.

I got a lot of Virginia folks

It showed me love, man, because what happened there just made national news.

And the headline uses a word we don't use lightly on this show.

OK.

Sissonville, West Virginia, five black children, siblings from ages six to 16.

adopted by a wealthy white couple, Gene K. Whitefeather and Donald Lance.

What does children live through y'all?

Prosecutors described it with a word nobody expected to hear.

And this was in 2023.

Okay.

Literally slavery.

I don't know if y'all remember seeing that show.

That show.

situation that happened.

The kids was forced to work as farm hands because of their race.

So, matter of fact, I think I sent you that video, didn't I, Brother Z?

See if I could find it again.

I hope I can.

forced them to work as farm hands because of their race.

Two of them were found locked in a shed with no running water, no bathroom, no lights.

A nine-year-old girl was locked inside the main house when authorities found them in October.

They were wearing soiled clothes with sores on their feet.

The couple used racial slurs against their own adopted children.

These are kids that's getting adopted out of the system.

Five of them.

Five siblings.

Forced to be slaves in 2023 and that's without the 13th Amendment.

Shouse out Rufus.

Forced to be slaves.

Okay adopted black children five of them I'm gonna find a video See if I could find this video And this just distracted me Sent them

to Work with our food all of these different things, right?

And here's the part that should make every one of us furious people called Neighbors called child protective services over and over again y'all CPS left a card at the front door at one point they interviewed the children

within earshot of the abusers.

The agency's own system had notes describing slave-like conditions.

Think about this.

And they couldn't produce documentation that they ever actually laid eyes on those kids.

At least one state employee was fired.

Think about this.

Adoption.

Kids that are already back against the wall.

Cards already dealt.

A strange hand.

You in the system.

Then you get adopted.

Five of you, five siblings get adopted.

And you get put to work like a slave.

You had to use the restroom by holding up a cloth while your sibling used the restroom.

Only got peanut butter sandwiches.

So here's the part.

That's not the part White feather got 215 years in prison 215 years in prison Lance got 160 combined 375 years plus 280 thousand dollars in restitution

And last week, a judge approved a $4.4 million settlement from the state of West Virginia.

The maximum the law allows to be split among the five children, some of whom now live with PTSD.

You think their attorney said the money means these kids will have an opportunity to be children because in his words,

They were robbed of their innocence and robbed of their youth by monsters that were their former parents.

Can't even call them parents.

Can't call them parents.

All right.

So I asked the question, can we have the conversation now or are we waiting until it's too late?

All right For five black children in West Virginia the conversation came too late the neighbors had it CPS didn't and I want you to hold that word slavery Because at two o'clock today on that two o'clock when we come back today We're going deep on what that word actually means where it comes from and why it keeps showing up in the present tense.

All right

This ain't gonna just be a slave episode.

But some things we want to talk about and have a conversation to give some better understanding of the past few days.

Don't go anywhere, y'all.

When we come back, we'll continue the conversation.

What up, y'all?

Welcome back to the award-winning one-on-one, 7 of Truth Live from the American Family Assurance Studios.

It's your boy Ray Nitty, Prince of the City, holding it down.

Brother Z got us with the production and sound.

You even see weed?

See weed?

Is that what that is?

You got the rice with it, too, that they roll it up in?

No,

this is just a

flat one.

Ah.

Slept on treat right there, man.

It'd be so well seasoned, too.

It's like you don't expect it to be so flavorful.

Yeah, it's my second

bag.

So.

That's how I keep the conversation going today.

We got an interesting story a little later in the show.

And I got some that.

You know, I want to keep doing this thing where we talk about Milwaukee black history.

You should know.

And this is going to be good.

We're going to do this at like three thirty.

The next segment will do it.

All right.

Next segment will do it.

But we just talked about West Virginia.

Now let's lay out the last few weeks here in Milwaukee back to back right September 19th two classmates from Bayview 15 year old the 16 year old Got off a Milwaukee County bus near Layton Boulevard in Greenfield Avenue.

They argued at school days earlier.

It was a fight Bus cameras caught a heated exchange

On the ride, both boys stepped off at the same stop.

Six seconds later, prosecutors say Stokes pulled a gun from his hoodie and shot Bowen, chased him down and shot him multiple times as he ran.

Bowen died in the street.

Stokes, 15 year olds charged with first degree intentional homicide.

And there's still a warrant out for his arrest.

He has not been caught yet.

Got a homie to work over there, baby.

He talked about what does.

Intervention look like now.

Because for him, he has to change what that looks like.

And you can't just break up the fight anymore and think that.

You know, a suspension or in school suspension is enough.

Now he wants to take it a little deeper, but We'll see what NPS allows.

I don't know how that works with their policies and whatnot 15 years old and a 16 years old Two lives lost now two families impacted

What does intervention look like now for conflicts in school?

Maybe just a thought It should be violence interrupters in schools instead of police.

I don't know just a thought Because in my opinion violence interrupters would have went above and beyond they would have reached out to the families they would have

Figured out how do they get to a peaceful result?

I'm only assuming but I'm only assuming based off of what I've seen them do Okay Let's keep the week going September 30th Milwaukee police respond to a shots fired call on the south side near Athon Scott neighbors point them toward a group of dirt bikes a group on dirt bikes in an alley Offers to see a mass 17 year old holding a rifle

They order him to drop it over and over he doesn't officer fires hitting the team Okay say his first name but Rodriguez La Corte shot twice in the leg his father identified and police Chief Jeffrey Norman stood in front of the camera the next day and said that quiet part Allah We have another young adult in our community handling a firearm.

This is unacceptable.

This is a school night And I feel like I saw

I feel like I saw either a family member or somebody that knew the kid, more so saying, like, I don't know where my kid would have gotten this rifle from.

They don't deal with with weapons.

So I don't know.

It's a conversation that we have to have, right?

But another two lives impacted, two families impacted.

October 2nd, gunfire near West Appleton and West Keef in the Deneen Park neighborhood around 11.45 at night.

Two people shot, a 16 year old and a 35 year old.

Both survived, both were arrested at the hospital.

That is interesting.

Let's go talk to George.

George, how you feeling?

You live on the lunch break with Ray

Nitty.

I'm doing fine, young man.

I'm just curious, because I'm sitting here listening to you, and I'm asking myself, you said they were at school when this jumped

off?

Which one?

The first one where you say, when they got off the bus, the other guy shot the other guy.

Yeah, so it sound like they had an incident, a fight at the school before, like earlier before, and...

So I guess my...

So I

guess my question, how did he get a gun at school?

No, this happens outside of the school.

So this wasn't...

So he had the gun hit someplace?

It sounded like it was a whole other day from when the situation happened at the school.

So incident happened at school.

He was outside of the school.

Both kids got sent home.

I'm assuming another day went by and then they saw each other on a bus, you know.

Oh, okay.

And had a follow-up altercation.

Oh, okay.

Thanks for explaining it.

I'm like, how in the heck they get guns in school?

And where are these young people getting these guns?

Yep.

Because I'm going to tell you something.

I'm a grown man.

And I, you know, I have one and it's locked up, which was just probably crazy.

It's locked up in the closet.

Bullets ain't in, shells in another place.

But where are these young people?

I know they're probably crazy.

But where are these people?

Where are these young people getting these guns?

That's a great question.

That's an extremely great

question.

Now, it's different.

It's different now.

But when you was in my house, we check in drawers and everything.

It's my room.

No, this is my

house.

I'm allowing you to stay in this room.

But parents don't check their kids book packs in the bedrooms and stuff.

They don't do that anymore.

I

guess not.

I guess not, George.

It's a lot we not doing no more, it sounds like, as a community.

OK, thanks, Brian.

Thank you for calling.

No, it's all good, Brian.

It's all good.

Appreciate you, brother, George, calling in, calling in.

833-212-1017 is a number to dial.

That's a great question.

Where are they getting the guns?

Where they getting the guns?

Somebody called earlier if I'm not mistaken and asked that question, too.

Or said, are they getting it from adults?

Are they getting it from others?

Hmm?

Somebody says I have an idea.

We don't have any more kids.

Somebody also says the principal should be fired.

She's not good anyway.

Sounds like somebody to personally know the principal.

The most important title is parent agreed.

Agreed.

100% agree the most important title is parent So we talked about October 2nd, let's go to Sunday October 4th a couple days ago racing Lockwood Park around 1 13 a.m.

In the morning a large gathering and altercation shots fired a 17 year old boy shot in the back

But she later died at the hospital.

Sixteen year old boy shot in the torso, survived and was arrested as a person of interest.

And he's part.

And here's part.

That we should be sitting with.

Two racing community organizations, Little Blessing Exchange and Thrift and Thrive had a giveaway planned at that same park that afternoon.

clothes, shoes, Halloween costumes, food for families.

They thought about canceling.

But they didn't.

The community needed us more.

One of the founders said.

And back in August.

Wisconsin State Fair final night turned into chaos, mob fights near the ride, seven arrests and officers struck a security guard hurt the fear.

Just announced a new rule starting next year.

Anyone 17 and under needs a parent or guardian or a chaperone 25 and older to get in after 5 p.m.

I don't know if I'm upset at that rule.

I don't know if I'm upset at that rule.

Call us up.

Let us know.

How do you feel about that rule?

All right.

eight three three two one two ten seventeen that is the number to dial call us up if you feel in the new state fair rule which is probably very similar to the mall rule now putting the age limit on how old you got to be to get into the mall after a certain time so they doing that with state fair so our conversation y'all my question is whole segment

has been can we have the conversation now or are we going to wait until it's too late because here's what the headlines keep telling us the kids are armed the conflicts are escalating in seconds and the adults keep showing up after a 15 year old with a gun on a school bus a 17 year old with a rifle on a school night these aren't statistics these are somebody's kids all right it's not

Just a policing question.

Where do teenagers get guns, y'all?

Who's home when they leave the house at 1145 at night?

What happened between the school argument and the bus stop that nobody interrupted?

The community groups and racing showed up the same afternoon as a shooting.

That's what the conversation looks like in practice.

When we come back.

When we come back y'all we gonna continue this conversation and then we going to get into some Milwaukee black history you should know The night Milwaukee broke a man out of jail Boy, we gonna talk about it right here on the award-winning one on one seven the truth

What up y'all welcome back to the award winning one on one seven the truth live from the American Family Insurance Studios.

It's your boy Ray Nitty Prince of the City man.

DJ brother Z holding us down with the production and sound you already know.

It's going down man.

Sing it with me.

Damn it, man.

Powerful.

That's our Tory Lowe, man.

The whole world's upside down right now, y'all.

And everybody is just Instagramming and dancing.

All right?

I want us to.

You know, had his conversation.

I want us to have this conversation because six seconds between stepping off a bus and gunfire, what breaks down in a young person's mind and in their world.

OK.

That's a school argument.

ends in a homicide.

The chief chief Norman said, this is a school night.

Who's responsible when a 17 year old is out with a rifle at 9 20?

Is it the parents?

Is it the community?

Or is it is that just too simple?

Or is it just too simple?

The state fair now requires chaperones.

Is that accountability or just moving the problem?

Come kick it with your kids.

I can't even say I'm mad at State Fair for that one.

I do think State Fair should include.

Violence interruption into their line budgets, though.

Just like they have security as a line item.

It could include violence, interruption as a line item, holla at the office of community wellness and safety, holla at four or four like, but, you know, pay for the service.

Pay for the service.

I've said it over and over again.

I think the violence, interruption community should privatize that service not because of greed, but because of need.

And if you think about.

Our community definitely needs it.

But guess what?

Businesses.

Businesses are screaming out for a solution.

But they want the violence interruption community to come out and volunteer.

And I don't think that's fair.

But that's a whole other conversation that we partially had already.

All right, the racing organizers who showed up anyway.

What does real community response look like beyond vigils?

OK.

Callers.

Callers, callers, callers.

What's one thing I need y'all to call in now?

Because we do a lot of.

You know, we talk a lot.

Do we brainstorm?

Do we produce ideas?

Do we produce solutions?

Do we do we?

Collaborate on how we make things better So call us what is one thing that would actually reach the young people right now not in theory But in real life What do you think?

Is one thing that it reach young people right now in real life

And if that West Virginia story shook you, the word slavery in 2023 in an American courtroom.

Okay.

Slavery in an American courtroom in 2023.

You know amazing Rufus King Was a part of the Constitution fought against slavery was against it Left the 13th Amendment in there Trying to understand how you really was against it I'm sure what you got to educate me on that one.

No, I always hit sure enough when I need a little more clarity on things

Like, can you be against slavery and still lead the 13th Amendment in there?

I don't know.

But anyway.

The word slavery in a courtroom.

Stay with us, OK?

Because we're going to go all the way into this one with what time we have left.

What chattel slavery actually was?

OK.

And the night Milwaukee broke a man out of jail over it.

And why?

And this is where I feel the venture went wrong, right?

And why get past it?

It.

isn't as simple as it sounds when people say, oh, I can't just get past slavery.

All right.

So we got a few more minutes here, man.

Don't go anywhere.

We stay in on this conversation.

Are y'all familiar?

So this is kind of our palate cleanser today.

How many y'all are familiar with this day in Milwaukee black history?

The night Milwaukee broke a man out of jail.

Have you ever heard of this story?

I understand why.

You'll understand why too.

We gonna cleanse our palace with a story most Milwaukeeans have never been told.

And it happened right here downtown.

This is a good one.

The story.

His name was Joshua Glover.

Born enslaved in Missouri around.

This is why we ain't never heard about this.

Born enslaved in Missouri around 1811.

In 1852, he escaped, made his way north and settled in Racine, Wisconsin, working at a sawmill living free.

For two years, he was just a man with a job and a life.

Then one night, March 10th,

1854, a posse broke into his home.

Listen to this.

Two federal marshals, four other men and his former enslaver.

A man named Benami Garland.

They dragged the Glover out under the Fugitive Slave Act.

of 1850.

The federal law that let slave catchers cross into free states, sees black people and haul them back to south.

Under that law, Glover got no presumption of innocence, no real hearing.

He wasn't even allowed to speak in his own defense.

To even here.

To even here.

You came across states.

In the 1800s.

A free man.

And could you imagine?

federal marshals, man.

People ask like, like we just wrong for having a weird relationship with the police or law enforcement.

Hey, people ask us to.

Get past it.

You know, it was so long ago.

Why do we always got to get over our trauma?

Why we always got to get over ours and everybody gets to Make sure nobody else's forgets theirs Tomorrow is going to be a year if I'm not mistaken, huh of the October 7th

Hamas attack on the the music festival Was it two years ago?

It's gonna be October 7th is tomorrow and It's gonna be a day of remembrance for a community Where people should never forget the things that happen on that day

and things that happened to that community before.

Never forget.

Is it saying the slogan?

But when we get to ours.

It's it was so long ago when we come back, y'all, we're going to finish this conversation right here on the award winning one on one seven.

The truth.

What up, y'all?

Welcome back to the award-winning 1017, a true fly from the American Family Assurance Studios.

It's your boy, Ray Nitty, Prince of the City.

DJ Brother Z holding us down with the production and sound.

You already know.

We're gonna close this thing out, y'all.

We're gonna close this thing out.

So.

He didn't get to speak in his own defense.

We's talking about Joshua Glover.

Okay.

He didn't get to speak in his own defense.

They didn't keep him in Racine.

They were afraid the abolitionists there would free him.

So they brought him to the Milwaukee County jail to wait.

What did Milwaukee do next?

Word reached Sherman Booth.

and a walking newspaper editor and abolitionists.

Booth and a group of attorneys tried every legal move to free Glover.

The court said no, so Booth did what you do when the law won't move.

He went to the people.

A crowd gathers outside the courthouse.

It swelled roughly 5,000 people, black and white.

standing in the streets demanding Glover's freedom.

And on the evening of March 11, that crowd forced its way into the Milwaukee jail, broke Glover out of his cell and got him to a safe house in Waukesha.

Think of that.

A safe house in Waukesha for us.

From there, the Underground Railroad carried him to Canada.

Joshua Glover lived the rest of his life a free man.

in Itabacoke, Ontario.

He died in 1888, 34 years free.

But the story doesn't end there.

The federal government arrested Sherman Booth for violating the Fugitive Slave Act.

A federal jury convicted him, and then the Wisconsin Supreme Court did something no other state high court in America had the nerve to do.

It ordered Booth released declaring the Fugitive Slave Act unconstitutional, null and void.

Not in Wisconsin.

The Supreme Court eventually reversed that in 1859, Abelman versus Booth ruling the state courts can't nullify federal law, but...

For five years, Wisconsin stood alone, the one state whose highest court looked at the Fugitive Slave Act that said no.

Where to find him today?

Where to find him today?

The old jail is gone, but there's a historical marker at Cathedral Square on East.

Kilburn Avenue.

Two streets near Lakefront Brewery on Commerce Street, East Glover Avenue and North Booth Street.

How's that for some history?

Hmm?

They cross each other named for the two men.

That kind of just gave me a little nostalgic feeling.

And there's a mural of Glover's escape.

on the I-43 Overpass at Fond du Lac Avenue, painted by Milwaukee artist Ras Ammar Nussurma.

Nussuroma.

So that's where you can find Brother At.

On the mural is painted on Fond du Lac.

The I-43 Overpass.

I gotta go see that.

That's like right over here somewhere.

Kind of.

I go see exactly what that is.

So there's a mural of Glover's escape on the I-43 overpass at Fond du Lac Avenue, painted by Milwaukee artists.

Cool.

So next time you on Booth Street or Glover Street.

Remember that history.
