One of the missions of this program is to explain things from a different perspective.
Maybe it's a social perspective.
Maybe it's a political perspective.
Maybe it's cultural.
Maybe sometimes it's racial.
And then it may be the intersectionality of all of those things.
Milwaukee is a very, very fascinating place because it is I'd like to think a city that is versed in the 21st century.
We're a traveling tourism city and we welcome all sorts of people here for a variety of different events, whether it be our ethnic festivals or our big old music festival.
It's a lot of things.
We, of course, have the Milwaukee State Fair while not in the city of Milwaukee proper.
It's in West Alice, which.
is close enough all the offerings the amenities that we have bring a diversity of people here depending upon what kind of sports fan you are we likely have something for you professional soccer team and basketball team and of course a baseball team in the Milwaukee Brewers and so when I saw that the Brewers were having a black culture exhibition
on Friday at the American family field ahead of the brewers game.
I braced myself and I braced myself form the promotion of that event via social media and then the comments that people would leave.
And as you could imagine, the comments that people would leave and giving their thoughts on the black culture.
Fest that took place at Miller, not Miller Park.
It's American Family Field.
I got to get used to it.
What can I say?
I remember when it was County Stadium.
I'll get it right one of these days.
It was going to be an exhibition of black culture, creativity, and the lasting impact of black excellence on baseball and beyond.
And when I saw that, that is what it was being promoted as and billed as.
I was like, these comments are going to be.
Absolutely dreadful.
Baseball was not nearly the first sport to integrate, ladies and gentlemen.
So there is a streak of separation that existed in major league baseball.
Of course, you had the Negro leagues and think about that for a second.
Why would you need a whole separate league of baseball players if that sport didn't have a rich, rooted history in racism?
It does.
And just remember.
If something had a history and racism and still lives on to this day, the problem is we don't recognize it.
And I'm going to give you a bunch of examples today.
I'm going to take this entire show and we're going to talk about race from a different perspective because usually I talk about race from a perspective so that white people can get a better understanding of some of their microaggressions and how their microaggressions and these little things that they say and these little things that they do can lead to.
macro behaviors.
And so I've always tried to shed light because some people don't realize that things are racist because it's just been a part of their upbringing and their background and their developmental environment.
Like, oh, I thought that all black people acted this way.
And so I try to bring different perspectives.
Oftentimes it falls on deaf ears because the people that want to be more culturally versed can find ways to be more culturally versed.
There are some people.
that don't believe some of the generalizations and the stereotypes that they hear about other races and they may actually seek out things that defy those stereotypes and those generalizations, not necessarily for those people because they can find the answers and they can find the truth on their own, but it's for other folks who may pride themselves on, oh, I have black friends.
But still believe some really horrible and awful things about black people So I spent a disproportionate amount of time not even trying to change him But anyone's mind but just showing them the ignorance in some of their ways But also the harm that they may have done sometimes intentionally sometimes inadvertently because of the primitive attitude that they have about race So I spent a lot of time doing that and over the years I suppose we've had varying degrees of success with those conversations But never once did I ever think for a moment that when I have these conversations about
race that I need to be explaining it to black people because we live in a damn bubble.
We seem to think because they aren't.
Throwing the n word around as much as they want to.
We believe that because now in 2026 we absolutely.
can go more places than we could say a generation or two ago, especially in other regions of the country where black people were strictly prohibited.
We believe as black people, this is the bubble that we live in and I am so hurt by this because I thought we knew and if we don't know that our kids don't know.
Our kids don't even know the kind of racist world that they are going to inherit because damn parents and the grandparents thing because the colors only signs and the whites only signs came down and because the schools were integrated and now you can get a drink of water at anybody's water fountain not just the blacks only water fountain we think that racism went away and every now and again when when they show you
They really think about us we get so hurt by I couldn't believe some of the comments not from the white people when they were Advertising the black culture fest because the worst place to have a black culture fest if there's gonna be a professional sporting event is at a major league baseball game I Haven't been to very many professional baseball games.
I've been to none in other cities even though I've been to
football games in other cities.
I might have even seen professional hockey in other cities.
I've never seen a major league baseball game in another city.
And I've probably gone to less than 20 here in the city of Milwaukee.
There's always been a feeling of discomfort and unease when I went to County Stadium.
I didn't go to County Stadium for the first time to see a board game, so I was 21 years old.
Didn't go.
No interest no desire baseball is not It's not culturally welcoming even worse.
So the fans When they had the discussion on where to rebuild the new baseball stadium It was a big political discussion and even a member of the Wisconsin State Senate got recalled because they were thinking about moving What was then called Miller Park to a different location?
You ever wonder why it is where it is?
You ever wonder why any other major city?
You have your casino you have your basketball arena and you have your Baseball Stadium all downtown They're all in the same little area because that's where you want to concentrate the travel in the tourism dollars, but if you look at where our Baseball Park is and so when they tore down County Stadium they had to figure out real quick Otherwise, we're gonna lose the Milwaukee Brewers and I believe that we need to keep professional sports teams here because they do generate a tremendous amount of tax revenue they do
All of the players from the other teams, including the Milwaukee Brewers, when they play here, their income per game is taxed.
We get that money here in the state of Wisconsin.
It becomes a part of our state budget.
All of the concessions that are sold, all of the employees of the baseball stadium that keep it running, that do all the HVAC and do all of the maintenance and do all of the cleaning and all of the food vendors, those are all really good.
Economic actions that we want to keep you don't ever want to lose a professional sports team.
Don't believe me ask New Jersey when they lost the net They immediately felt that hole in their economy.
I want to lose a professional sports team now But one of the compromises was because we had torn down 145 so 145 was the freeway that essentially When it was torn down it revealed the land in which five sir forum was now built and so when they were considering this is back in the late mid 1990s
where they were going to build the new baseball stadium.
A bunch of people said, well, we have all of this land open up downtown because we had a big old hole in the middle of downtown when they tore down 145.
They didn't start building the five serve form until probably 2016, 2015 or 2016 is when they started building the Bucks Arena.
That land has sat vacant for 15 years.
There's a reason why that land sat vacant for 15 years.
Because there were specific requirements for any developer if you wanted to build something on the most precious, most valuable land in the entire state of Wisconsin.
That was valuable real estate.
Think about where the deer district is.
That was all vacant.
Literally nothing was there when they tore the freeway down.
But Milwaukee County that own that land said anyone who develops this land you're gonna have to have 40 or 50 percent minority Contractors of minority construction firms and women owned businesses and for 15 years developers said no thanks We don't want to hire that many black people even though the real estate is valuable, but eventually Herb Cole said I'll split the bill with you
with these New York billionaire fellas that came in and bought the Milwaukee Bucks and also helped build the five serve form make no mistake about it.
We paid for half of that, too.
However, I digress.
They could have built the baseball stadium right there.
But here's what season ticket holders said.
Season ticket.
Milwaukee Brewers.
This is what they said.
Don't you dare build that damn new stadium in the middle of downtown Milwaukee or we will.
not renew our season tickets.
I don't know what the statistic is now, but at the time, 60% of season ticket holders lived outside of the city of Milwaukee, mostly from all points west, like Waukesha area.
Those were the season ticket holders.
And they said, if you build that arena or that new baseball park, because we had to rebuild what was then Miller Park in order for the Brewers to stay because every now and again, you've got to upgrade your stadiums or the league.
Will take your team and make it for sale though Let other teams and other cities been on if you want if you don't want to build a new a new state I mean, it's always a big Political fiasco because where's the money gonna come from and other taxpayers gonna pay for it in my opinion It's always a good investment for the taxpayers to invest in having a sports team in your city because it brings Tremendous amounts of revenue for many many decades
But the season ticket holder said you're gonna build it exactly where County Stadium was and then the urban planners like no, no We want to bring more economic activity downtown.
Let's just do a freeze frame real quick Look at how much economic activity has poured into downtown and walking the last 30 years.
I don't know damn condos There was no Riverwalk 30 years ago.
Nobody lived downtown 30 years ago It was a bunch of old dilapidated factory buildings now look at it condos housing shop stores the third Ward didn't even really exist the third Ward used to be a bunch of places were
the Italians bought their groceries.
Now look at it.
It's a destination, right?
So a lot of money, a lot of investment was pouring into downtown.
But this idea of putting downtown in the spotlight that it's in right now goes back 30 or 40 years.
In fact, this goes back to when Mayor John Norquist was mayor of the city of Milwaukee.
He was like, we need to build up downtown in order for Milwaukee to be successful.
Lo and behold, he was right.
Somewhat.
And so when we're considering what to put.
in that vacant area that is now the dear district, obviously building the baseball stadium makes good sense.
But the season ticket holder said, we don't want to drive through the black neighborhoods to go watch our beloved brewers.
You will build the stadium on the outskirts so we can just hop right on 94, go to our baseball game, hop right on 94, head back west and go home.
And that's exactly what they did.
So I want you to keep that in mind.
I'm going to give you these details of the.
When I say racist comments that really is an understatement, but I'm not shocked that when you advertise a black culture fest at American Family Field ahead of one of the Baseball games, I'm not shocked that white people would leave racist comments It's what they do, but it's how black people were so hurt and so shocked that white people think this way about us.
I'm thinking myself
What bubble do you live in?
You know what I think it might be?
I think that black people believe now more than ever that.
There were the vocal ones on racism that we call out white people all the time when they say something racist, when they do something racist, don't let them use the n-word, we're gonna have them cancel, or we can act in any old way when we as black people are out in public and dare a white person to say anything about us or anything to us because of how we act because we can shut them down by calling them racist, so here's what happens.
White people really don't say anything.
They use microaggressions they may roll their eyes that may stay quiet all together and so when we don't hear them vocally expressing how much I mean they hate our guts y'all they hate us even the ones that pretend to like us and the fact that y'all don't know this blows my mind and we as black people are putting ourselves in places and in spaces where we think we are safe because the people are reasonably nice to us.
Oh No, no, no, no
They hate us, but the number of black people that were in the comments thing.
Well, but I was the first black person to graduate from my high school, but I'm a black person and I have a
well, I'm going to screenshot these and send this to your employer.
I haven't had one.
I'm going to read some of the comments when I come back from my break.
One lady even said, oh, God, what did she say?
I'm going to send this to their pastor and their pastor is not going to like all these racist comments.
Do you want?
Sundays is the most segregated damn day of the week.
I did not know that we as black people would respond in such an emotional way to white people expressing how they actually feel about us.
I thought that we knew and the fact that we don't know means that we are not telling the generation behind us of what they are prepared for.
Look at the disparities in the criminal justice system.
Look at the disparities in racial profiling.
Look what happens when we send our kids to schools in which they control the school board and the curriculum.
What happens?
The black kids can't read.
I'll do you one better.
92% of the suspensions and the expulsions of NPS are black kids, but black kids are less than 50% of the student body.
If that does not tell you alone how they feel about us, why would you all be shocked at the comments?
to decipher this feel hopefully our YouTube is back up we were having a couple of few technical difficulties Xavier says no is that what the phone calls have been Xavier
yeah they're calling about the YouTube YouTube is all messed up right now oh Nelly yeah so someone else someone's working on it right now
you guys are gonna have to go to one oh one seven the truth comm and stream my voice the old-fashioned way or oh no don't forget about the radio go sit in the car
Go sit in the car put on one on one point seven or we even have am signal to if you're feeling fancy It's 15 10 a.m.
We're hopefully gonna get the YouTube back up and take a break when I come back.
I'm gonna read some of the comments that the The more fair skinned folks Left on this flyer this advertisement for black culture fests that took place at American Family Field and the number of black people
Why would you say such racist things about us?
I'm a black person and I'm smart like trying to
Don't touch that dial.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back on 1017 The Truth, The Truth App and 1017TheTruth.com.
You are listening to The Truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 The Truth, The Truth App and 1017TheTruth.com.
On Friday, they had a black culture fest at American Family Field ahead of one of the Brewer's games and every so often they'll do something dedicated to the legacy of African-Americans and our contributions to Major League Baseball.
Please keep in mind the Major League Baseball was not the first sport to integrate.
It was actually the NFL and the last sport, professional sport to integrate was basketball.
1950 1951 and here's what's crazy in the early 1950s when they finally integrated the NBA which I bet you they wish they wouldn't have I Bet they wish they would have kept the NBA all white cuz then once we came into the league.
Oh, no How are these black scoring 17,000 points?
They were recruiting Black NBA players from the damn Harlem Globetrotters in a while because where else are you gonna get them from and then you know
Fast forward a couple of decades arguably some of the absolute best people that have ever laid hands on a basketball have been It's been a couple Serbians.
There's been a couple It's been there's been a Chinese or two.
There's Yao Meng remember him.
He was he was Chinese very very tall We had a guy from Australia the Bucks did Andrew Bogat remember him
But then you know, it's been mostly dominated by black African Americans But the racism that exists, I don't even know if it's in the league.
It's interesting because I went to a NASCAR race in 2024 NASCAR has banned the Confederate flag and you know, they tried to be a little bit more Sensitive and progressive with the times.
It's not
It usually isn't the corporate offices.
It's not what we call big NASCAR It's not the the big major league baseball.
They're not racist because they hit their heads against the wall to try and figure out how they're gonna get more black Consumers and how do they get more black fans when I went to that NASCAR race in Las Vegas?
I promise you 50% of all of the pit crews and the pit bosses and the people that were there like having like real jobs with these NASCAR teams were black
I was blown away.
Big NASCAR wants a black audience.
They do because we are an up and coming minority group and black people are making more money.
We have more income.
And of course, big corporations, including sports, they want black folks to buy tickets and to attend events.
It's the damn fans.
Every time I go to a baseball game and there hasn't been many because I just I don't feel comfortable.
When one on one seven, the truth did.
They did something featuring black people.
Maybe it was a Negro League weekend or one of those things and they had Different hosts from one on one seven the truth do that They do these games where they invite somebody out of the crowd to answer questions and they win a bunch of prizes Tori did it and then I did that was the most nervous I'd ever been in my entire life.
First of all, it's overwhelming.
It was 40 some thousand people there that was
The first part but the second part was I knew that I wasn't welcome there I just I've never felt comfortable there because baseball fans They're like working-class white people which I don't know if you guys know this those are the most racist people you're ever gonna find because they believe that they're they're
economic situation is directly tied to other races taking their jobs.
It's the working class white people that say, oh, this DEI and affirmative action, you know, black people going to college for free.
That's harming me and my family, even though it has nothing to do with it.
Now, is there more competition for good paying jobs?
Absolutely there is.
But they, the working class whites, who've always had a level of insecurity when it comes to their jobs, because they can get downsized or they can get automated.
Or they can get AI'd out of their job.
They've always been very insecure.
But when you have a white person in the United States of America that is insecure, here's what you can do to manipulate them forever.
Blame a black person or blame a Mexican for why everything is messed up in their world.
And they'll eat it.
And it's political too.
I can have a whole political party and tell you how bad black people are and how bad immigrants are and how bad Mexicans are.
And I will make the a whole bunch of voters hate those groups.
Hate them.
hate them, want to kill them.
Don't want them in this country.
And you can get votes based upon how much you hate those other racial and ethnic groups by a bunch of working class white folks who've always felt insecure about their job.
The insecurity about the working class white and their job and their opportunities goes back to slavery.
And you just think about how slavery was not in the best economic interest of poor white folk.
You ever think about that for a second?
You know all white people didn't own slaves, right?
Like one or two percent hardly anybody on slave the same one percent is right now You know the billionaires that y'all hate basically though that was the same class of people that owned the slaves
Every white person didn't almost lay the white people were too poor in the rural southern Let me tell you why white people were poor while they were kept poor why they were kept economically deprived because if you're economically deprived You're vulnerable and if you're vulnerable you'll fall for anything and if you're economically deprived and you're vulnerable Chances are you're probably not highly educated and you can manipulate those people If you or a plantation owner and you had the ability
to permanently purchase your labor in enslaved people.
Let's say you had a big old plantation.
You had rice, you had the big three.
Rice, tobacco and cotton.
Fourth would probably be sugarcane, but sugarcane was more of the agricultural mainstay in the Caribbean.
By the way, sugarcane plantations
Unbelievably brutal probably some of the very labor-intensive cotton is labor-intensive too, but not like sugarcane sugarcane is very labor-intensive.
Hey, but I was mostly in the Caribbean So if you had a big old plantation and you had the big three cotton tobacco and rice and you had a hundred and ninety five enslaved people Taking care of a thousand acres of rice tobacco and cotton
And then you had your servants that were in the house that took care of all the domestic doodles.
Okay, think about this.
You own your slaves and they take care of everything.
You're not hiring white people.
You're not hiring them.
You don't need to.
Why would you pay a white person a wage when you can buy a black person and work them for until they die?
So white people
were deprived economically because of the institution of slavery.
Now what you would do is you would hire a handful of white people to be plantation overseers, etc, etc.
But trust me when I tell you if a plantation had 195 slaves, maybe they hire 20 white people to be overseers.
If that because those slaves took
Jobs from what would be working-class white Southerners and that is why the South remains so poor black people couldn't own anything We weren't making any wages so our poverty was fixed in the institution But white people were impoverished too and then it's crazy because the same plantation owners told those white folks who could not get any kind of work or any kind of jobs in those southern agricultural
plantations to go and fight the civil war on behalf of the plantation owners right to continue to buy, sell, trade and own black people.
That is insane.
Enter Donald Trump.
He's doing the exact same thing for the modern era.
It is also why the Democratic Socialists don't see why we as African Americans don't.
subscribe to their philosophy because they the democratic socialists who do not have a platform for race they do not they'll have more of a platform for the gays and the queers oh by the way the alphabet is breaking up I don't know if you guys know this but the gays and the lesbians are now starting to separate themselves from the asexuals the intersex people and the trans people because those folks on the other end of the alphabet are identities a lesbian woman is still a woman she just likes other lesbians
A gay man, his identity is not necessarily as a gay man.
He just likes other gay men.
And so when you have that alphabet that's combined, the old school gays and the old school lesbians, like, yo, no, we're not with all this trans stuff.
Really fascinating social experiments that are taking place in this country right now.
But that's just like people of color.
Or when people say BIPOC, don't say BIPOC in front of me.
I'll punch you in the face.
Black indigenous people of color don't don't don't please don't do that.
Don't make it seem like all of our issues are the same You know some BIPOC people hate each other Do you know there's some people that are included in and the white people came up with this?
Or some super black liberal.
Let's call everybody BIPOC Let's lump everybody together like all of our interests are the same There are some people in the BIPOC coalition and the people of color coalition that are more racist than white people are
You think black people routinely organize and work with Mexicans?
No, we don't You think a South Korean Professor at the University of Wisconsin Madison has anything in common with a black woman who lives in 5 3 2 0 6 who's got four kids and no dad I'm just saying you can't stop loving us all together.
I was gonna read some of these comments that were left on the
What's this damn thing called?
Multicultural night The YouTube is up so if you guys want to head on over there.
I'm wearing a purple shirt today We're in some cargo pants, too.
I like cargo pants because I have room for my cargo Join the Milwaukee Brewers and social X MKE
for Black culture fest and afternoon celebrating Black culture, creativity, community, and the lasting impact of Black excellence on baseball and beyond.
So that was what they advertised it as.
And they put this on social media and left the comment section open.
Justin Sider says, I assume the seating will only be available in
section eight.
John Robert says this
funny
Russ Hanseter says will there be a how to act like state fair booth Larry
share I
on
Comments that's racist.
Why would you say that because they are telling you like take this as really valuable knowledge?
Because this is how they actually feel now some of these comments might be bots But some of the people that like the comments are not I'm gonna take a break come back.
I Got a whole bunch of other stuff so oh our since our YouTube is up.
Do we have the poll question up yet?
Yes,
we do.
I'm going to get to it.
Have you do you or have you ever owned a Nissan?
I'm curious because I have a story for you that is going to make a lot of sense once I get to it.
But our YouTube poll is now up.
Go to one on one seven, the truth on YouTube, hit subscribe, be able to participate in the YouTube chat and also vote in our poll.
Do you ever own a Nissan?
I'm in the category.
I own a Nissan.
I had a Nissan Pathfinder.
I loved
that truck very much.
I loved it a lot.
It was very expensive, but I loved
with Sherwin Hughes will be right back.
Black culture fest on Friday at American Family Field ahead of one of the brewers games or maybe during the burger game.
I didn't go to.
And then they were promoting this event very innocently on social media, but they left the comments section open.
And as you would imagine, some of the comments were very ignorant, very racist.
Very stereotypical about black people and that doesn't shock me because that is exactly what they are supposed to do That is my expectation of them and they always meet and quite honestly they exceed That expectation what I didn't expect was for the number of black people to to try and reason with a racist and the number of black people that That shared this flyer where all of these racist comments were
Were posted in like utter disbelief like I can't believe they feel this way Everybody look at the comments.
Everybody read this.
Why is that a shock to anybody?
Do you understand that we live on their colony?
I'm gonna get into some details about that as well.
Once I explain it's gonna make a lot of sense to you Ladies gentlemen, they hate our guts and I think that we we thought that we had more friends We thought that we had more allies because we saw how many of them
March when George Floyd got killed I bet you don't wear black lives matters t-shirts no more I bet you don't have the yard signs in their front yard no more in fact they probably replaced some of those black lives matters yard sign with a Tom Tiffany yard sign you don't have businesses displaying the black lives matter
placards in the windows anymore.
What happens is whenever there is racial or civil unrest, they want to make it seem like they're actually allied because the whole thing with racism now is you got to be covert.
They don't want you to know.
They want you to think that that they like us.
And what do we do?
We're so stupid.
Invite them to the barbecue.
Y'all invited white folks to the barbecue is like I'm gonna extend the olive branch and they accept it Oh, they love being around us so they can learn Everything there is to know and learn our secrets and learn how we operate because here's one thing they can't figure out because they've tried everything to stop our success Everything and I would say to some extent it's working pretty good Two out of three times Donald Trump rain he got elected they're doing something right still
They can't figure out how they have thrown everything including terror including making it harder for us to vote Including underfunding and under educating our kids and they're just so battle How are some of us becoming successful?
So they love coming to the barbecue and we think because they accept the invitation that they're not racist Y'all have any idea how they talk about us and this is the unfortunate thing when you grow up in Milwaukee and you grew up in black Milwaukee and you didn't really interact
with a lot of white people.
If you grew up in segregated Milwaukee, you didn't go to a majority white school.
You didn't have a lot of white friends growing up.
You have literally no idea.
No clue how much they hate us.
One of the best things about me going to school in Brown Deer is I saw how they live.
I see how they talk.
I see what they discuss when they sit down and have dinner with one another.
They hate our guts.
We are on their minds constantly.
They have to make sure that they are defeating us and outmaneuvering us because they're very embarrassed when we're successful, especially if they're not.
And so what do we do?
We think we got a whole bunch of white friends invited to the day in barbecue and all they're doing is taking notes on how they can continue to harm us.
Let's talk to Derek here on one on one seven.
The truth.
How are you, Derek?
I'm doing well, Sharon.
I mean, you brought something up really good as far as the baseballs, the teams and everything else like that.
But I was thinking about, I was thinking about when they left Oakland and they went to Las Vegas and also the one that the basketball, the basketball and the football teams used to be and the outskirts of Detroit and now they're downtown.
And that's helped that downtown tremendously.
And I think they were having the same issue, they were having the same issue in Washington, D.C.
And now they're bringing the basketball, the baseball, I mean, not the basketball, the football team downtown to Washington, D.C.
But you're right.
I mean, a lot of times people that's, I do remember hearing about that, about the...
What was that where they were going to locate the baseball stadiums and you probably are right about people being afraid because they Most lot of the your inner city.
They're predominantly black and they associate a lot of crime with a lot of black people Are you so there?
Yeah, but I would say I was thinking about some of those cities
uh, that they're, uh, they're doing it.
And even, uh, I was, I only think it comes, I, I could think kind of close.
Be the one in the land to Georgia where they had the, those stadiums
Yeah, they're talking about the one in Atlanta, Georgia, where they, uh, they did the same thing that you guys did in, um, um, Milwaukee.
They said there was too much crime in the inner city, and so they moved out to Cobb County, the baseball stadiums.
It's any more convenient for a lot of the people and everything else like that, but they're saying, hey, we're at least we'll be safe and everything.
that
us,
Yeah, but like I said, you are...
But a lot of times, you know, some things need to be down kind of like the bat, like the basketball.
And probably the only other thing I can think of that would be the football when they moved the L.A.
Rams from St.
Louis.
And they moved it to Englewood.
But sure, somebody was saying to me.
actually an
large
So actually locating a large sports arena to an impoverished black neighborhood or a black community can turn it around right away or it can invite gentrification.
But we appreciate your call, Derek.
I got to take a break now.
Thank you, sir.
It's curious.
All right then.
All right there.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017, and
we'll be right back.

Why black people are so shocked.
The veneer is almost flawless Because they'll invite you to stuff want to hang out with you Want to do happy hour with you and hate your guts they'll talk to you get to know you Ask you about your family Maybe you drink a little bit too much at the happy hour and reveal something personal next thing you know
You're talking to HR because here's the other thing you got to watch out for.
It's always economic competition with them.
You better hope they don't have a sister or a brother or a sister-in-law or a mother-in-law or a father-in-law that is looking for a job and the person in their family that is looking for a job does exactly what you do.
They'll set you up to get fired.
It's not personal.
It's just, you know, a member of their family comes first.
Their neighbor just fell on hard times and their neighbor happens to have a real nice resume that might be a little bit less polished than yours, but you know It'd be a good fit for the position because you know they fit better into the corporate culture We thought that we had a bunch of allies and we don't that is why it's very difficult for African Americans that know this So want to be ally with Democratic Socialists because expecting us to integrate
with working-class white people, when all of this dirty history has not been resolved, is insane.
It's insane.
Now, what they do, though, is they look at black people and say, oh, you guys are poor, too.
You guys are struggling, too.
Come and join our movement now.
We're gonna go first.
We're gonna lead the movement We're gonna set the agenda the agenda is not gonna take into account race But no no come and come and join us because you know working class white people need as many people in their agendas They can possibly get that is how they can win elections and if you can win elections by praying on the vulnerability of black folks All you got to do is tell black folks, you know you blacks
really poor too you know you blacks your wages are way too low you know you blacks are not being treated fairly by your employer as well you should be getting a raise you know you blacks are making minimum wage as well and what do we say as black folks yeah that's right that's true all that is true all the above is true but what they don't take into account is that why some of us and I'm gonna say some because some black folks are doing fantastic some black folks are doing better than the whites
But one of the reasons why some black people black people may be in an economically disadvantaged position is because they are black That can be a reason Democratic socialists can't take that into account because that is a white movement led by white people Who weren't given what they were promised by previous generations see the baby boomers lodge them.
They're the wealthiest generation America's ever seen
They got something like a hundred and forty trillion dollars worth of wealth and what they are doing is they are starving their own kids.
And so then you have a political movement that exists to rebel against the status quo, which is the largest wealthiest generation that America has ever seen.
And that's the baby boomers.
But that also.
Draws contrast with African-Americans as well because we don't hate our baby boomer generation Those are the ones that got us the rights that we right now were taking for granted so you can also our baby boomers ain't got no hell of a lot of money White baby boomers do black baby boomers got a little they got a little taste of money got a little itty-bitty peace They got a little they ain't got as much as the white folks do So they're trying to start this intergenerational war where it's bunch of white kids that are mad at their parents
screw you mom and dad.
I want the freaking house right now
Fine mom and dad I'll go recruit a bunch of blacks and we're gonna have a political movement led by an Asian lady in Wisconsin and a Muslim in Michigan
Whoo, we did he serve up a good helping.
Oh, you all were shocked by that too
Where's my story about the New Berlin mayor?
Oh, he let y'all have it and then stood by his comments Quote it was revolting Muslim leader called for New Berlin mayor's resignation over lewd social media posts Let me make this abundantly clear the New Berlin mayor isn't going anywhere New Berlin mayor Dave Amon is under fire after two Muslim organizations
called for his resignation, a following the discovery of anti-Muslim, racist, and sexist content he shared publicly on Facebook.
So the mayor of this town is letting everybody know, hey, here's how I feel.
And I'll be honest with you, I appreciate him doing it.
Let me tell you why.
Cuz I'd rather know before I go to New Berlin for anything now.
Hey Sherwin We're gonna meet up at the sports bar in New Berlin.
Okay.
Have fun not going Because if the mayor feels that way And if he's gonna put it on a public Facebook page and dude said I'm not taking it down I'm gonna get to his comments in just a second.
He was like my public comments Don't mean that I speak on behalf of everyone in New Berlin kind of
Would rather know so here's what'll happen though because some black folks get so hurt by this because we're just astonished that people don't like us We're thinking we're so fun.
We're so funny.
We dance really well.
We sing good watch us perform You know the original drawing of Mickey Mouse was blackface as a mimic of a menstrual show You know that the character goofy look at the old pictures of goofy the old Disney drawings goofy is a shiftless
lazy happy-go-lucky colored man.
Goofy!
Now they changed his image up, you know what I mean?
They made him look more like a dog.
The whole character of Goofy is part of a menstrual theatrical dramatization and caricature of a black stereotype.
It goes that deep and we won't even have no idea.
Walt Disney was incredibly racist.
So was dr. Seuss when I found that out that hurt like they did a whole expose I like some of the racist commentary like the hidden racist messages Oh Dr. Seuss is that and I love dr. Seuss books little did I know I was being slowly taught to hate myself the Muslim Women's Coalition and the Milwaukee or the Wisconsin Muslim Civic Alliance
brought Amon's post was the mayor of New Berlin to light.
The content includes reposts such as, quote, if you voted for a Muslim or elected, for elected office, you're a traitor.
If it weren't for white people, slavery would have never ended and post featuring sexually suggestive content.
Janane G, founder of the Muslim Women's Coalition, said she was shocked when she first saw the post.
I'm going to leave it there, pick it back up for hour two.
The truth was sure when he was to be right back.
Don't touch that dial.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth.com
the mic with a boom ping ping wisdom sharper than a beast fear sting words like fireflies that light the night he turns the dark into blazing bright boom ping ping the truth takes wing Milwaukee's voice let the city sing boom ping ping hear the freedom ring
One of the missions of this program is to explain things from a different perspective.
Maybe it's a social perspective.
Maybe it's a political perspective.
Maybe it's cultural.
Maybe sometimes it's racial.
And then it may be the intersectionality of all of those things.
Milwaukee is a very very fascinating place because it is I'd like to think a city that is versed in the 21st century we're a traveling tourism city and we welcome all sorts of people here for a variety of different events whether it be our ethnic festivals or our big old music festival it's a lot of things we of course have the Milwaukee State Fair while not in the city of Milwaukee proper it's in West Alice which
is close enough all the offerings the amenities that we have bring a diversity of people here depending upon what kind of sports fan you are we likely have something for you professional soccer team and basketball team and of course a baseball team in the Milwaukee Brewers and so when I saw that the Brewers were having a black culture exhibition
on Friday at the American family field ahead of the brewers game.
I braced myself and I braced myself form the promotion of that event via social media and then the comments that people would leave.
And as you could imagine, the comments that people would leave and giving their thoughts on the black culture.
Fest that took place at Miller, not Miller Park.
It's American Family Field.
I got to get used to it.
What can I say?
I remember when it was County Stadium.
I'll get it right one of these days.
It was going to be an exhibition of black culture, creativity, and the lasting impact of black excellence on baseball and beyond.
And when I saw that, that is what it was being promoted as and billed as.
I was like, these comments are going to be.
Absolutely dreadful.
Baseball was not nearly the first sport to integrate, ladies and gentlemen.
So there is a streak of separation that existed in major league baseball.
Of course, you had the Negro leagues and think about that for a second.
Why would you need a whole separate league of baseball players if that sport didn't have a rich, rooted history in racism?
It does.
And just remember.
If something had a history and racism and still lives on to this day, the problem is we don't recognize it.
And I'm going to give you a bunch of examples today.
I'm going to take this entire show and we're going to talk about race from a different perspective because usually I talk about race from a perspective so that white people can get a better understanding of some of their microaggressions and how their microaggressions and these little things that they say and these little things that they do can lead to.
macro behaviors.
And so I've always tried to shed light because some people don't realize that things are racist because it's just been a part of their upbringing and their background and their developmental environment.
Like, oh, I thought that all black people acted this way.
And so I try to bring different perspectives.
Oftentimes it falls on deaf ears because the people that want to be more culturally versed can find ways to be more culturally versed.
There are some people.
that don't believe some of the generalizations and the stereotypes that they hear about other races and they may actually seek out things that defy those stereotypes and those generalizations, not necessarily for those people because they can find the answers and they can find the truth on their own, but it's for other folks who may pride themselves on, oh, I have black friends.
But still believe some really horrible and awful things about black people So I spent a disproportionate amount of time not even trying to change him But anyone's mind but just showing them the ignorance in some of their ways But also the harm that they may have done sometimes intentionally sometimes inadvertently because of the primitive attitude that they have about race So I spent a lot of time doing that and over the years I suppose we've had varying degrees of success with those conversations But never once did I ever think for a moment that when I have these conversations about
race that I need to be explaining it to black people because we live in a damn bubble.
We seem to think because they aren't.
Throwing the n word around as much as they want to.
We believe that because now in 2026 we absolutely.
can go more places than we could say a generation or two ago, especially in other regions of the country where black people were strictly prohibited.
We believe as black people, this is the bubble that we live in and I am so hurt by this because I thought we knew and if we don't know that our kids don't know.
Our kids don't even know the kind of racist world that they are going to inherit because damn parents and the grandparents thing because the colors only signs and the whites only signs came down and because the schools were integrated and now you can get a drink of water at anybody's water fountain not just the blacks only water fountain we think that racism went away and every now and again when when they show you
They really think about us we get so hurt by I couldn't believe some of the comments not from the white people when they were Advertising the black culture fest because the worst place to have a black culture fest if there's gonna be a professional sporting event is at a major league baseball game I Haven't been to very many professional baseball games.
I've been to none in other cities even though I've been to
football games in other cities.
I might have even seen professional hockey in other cities.
I've never seen a major league baseball game in another city.
And I've probably gone to less than 20 here in the city of Milwaukee.
There's always been a feeling of discomfort and unease when I went to County Stadium.
I didn't go to County Stadium for the first time to see a board game, so I was 21 years old.
Didn't go.
No interest no desire baseball is not It's not culturally welcoming even worse.
So the fans When they had the discussion on where to rebuild the new baseball stadium It was a big political discussion and even a member of the Wisconsin State Senate got recalled because they were thinking about moving What was then called Miller Park to a different location?
You ever wonder why it is where it is?
You ever wonder why any other major city?
You have your casino, you have your basketball arena, and you have your baseball stadium all downtown.
They're all in the same little area because that's where you want to concentrate the travel and the tourists.
Welcome to our two of the truth with Sherwin Hughes We have a question on the On the YouTube you go to youtube.com or open up a YouTube app from your smartphone or other mobile device Search one on one seven the truth hit subscribe you'll be able to view the live in studio camera Got my sunglasses on gotta make sure I take them with me
Because last Friday I left them in the studio Happened to tune into the lunch break with Ray nitty and maybe Shannon And I saw Ray nitty sporting my Ray bands Just cuz it's got Ray in the name Ray don't mean that you got to put on my sunglasses.
This is my sunglasses So I went and picked them up Over the weekend because I need my sonnings
Yeah, fingerprints all on the lenses.
That's because he was eating fried chicken.
Yeah, greasy.
It's hard to get these lenses clean now.
He had fried chicken in the studio.
Oh, it says it's a racist comment.
I think white people need to be much more honest with us because in them being politically correct, they are fooling us.
Xavier had said oh, we're on commercial break, you know for for black people to be fooled by racism is just astonishing to me Because we think because the Jim Crow signs came down that that their attitude changed they got more racist You think Barack Obama did anything to move the cause of of racism that do you think he Improved it you think the people saw Barack Obama's oh my god, he's black and he's nice and he's a daddy
He's got a black wife and they're married and they're not divorced Even though I question Michelle Obama sometimes whatever She got a boyfriend somewhere.
That's fine.
Barack wouldn't even care.
He'd still stay with her But do you honestly think that they saw Barack Obama and Said oh wow this racism stuff is stupid because look a black person can be successful too a black person can follow the rules
Not Barack Obama.
He did, you know, did a little cocaine.
It's all right.
A little bit.
He admitted to it in his book.
He had a little bit of an identity crisis.
He was very honest about who he was.
But you honestly think, like, don't stop lying to yourself.
If you lie to yourself, we're going to have to stop.
It's like every woman that thinks she's a 10.
Stop lying to yourself.
You ask a man to rate himself on a scale of one to 10.
He's going to tell you to honestly say, well, I'm fat.
Got a little wee wee.
I'm probably a three.
You'll be honest.
You ask a woman, I'm a 10 out of 10, baby.
Stop lying to yourself.
We're lying to ourselves.
We think just because they don't say a word.
You know, they must like us.
They had our guts.
You ever I want you all to I wish you knew more restaurant owners.
And listen to how servers fight.
Oh, who's going to take the black table?
They don't even want us in the restaurant.
And what do we do?
We go to their damn restaurants and give them a food review that actually helps their business with other African Americans, not knowing that they don't want us in there in the first place.
I just sit in disbelief.
But we were on commercial break and Xavier was like, well, don't these people read the internet and read the comments?
Like you should know how they feel about us and how incredibly racist they are.
Here's what the problem is.
Your co-worker that likes you they talk to you every day.
You might even have lunch with them.
Everything is cordial at work They got three or four different Facebook pages.
We're on everything that talks about race or culture or black people.
They're calling us monkeys and Jigaboo's Spear Chuckers, but they'll sit right next to you at work and be nice to you Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.
Until 5 p.m.
We have no idea.
So here's the thing
On the internet, it's one thing because that's where you see all the racist comments.
But what black folks will say is, well, not my co-workers.
They all like and respect me.
No, your co-workers are actually the ones that are commenting on some of the stuff you're putting on social media.
You just don't know it's them.
It is a veneer.
They told you that they got to hide.
Why do you think the Klan War hoods?
It was hot in the South.
Them hoods got hot.
it was they didn't want to wear them hoods they had to mask their identity because they didn't want you to know that they were the judge they were the sheriff they were the police chief they were the sheriff's deputy they were the mayor they were the alderman and they were the county board supervisor and the executive
That is why they wore hoods.
The whole thing with racism.
It must be covert.
They don't want to be outed.
They don't want to be spotted.
That's embarrassing because then we'll be on to them.
The whole thing is we're going to be nice.
We're going to be pleasant, but then they're going to do this thing politically, right?
They called it Reagan had him.
The silent majority.
Reagan was like, I'll take care of him.
We're going to infiltrate their community with crack and we're gonna build prisons from here to the other side of the horizon Richard Nixon had him Richard Nixon said tell you what y'all decide you want to stop being liberal Dixie crats and come on over to the Republican parties like I'll fix them I'll put a war on drugs out there.
It'll be so severe It'll lock every single black person up that even has a grandma marijuana in their shoe
But for some reason we didn't recognize that because after The civil rights legislation was passed and you had to take the Jim Crow signs down You couldn't say whites only and colors only they had to go even deeper underground and get more covert with it You deindustrialized black neighborhoods and black communities you gut our economics boom now we're poor now we're destitute Here comes the crack here comes mass incarceration
And then look at the neighborhood look at the community who owns our businesses not us I was just looking at all the damn food trucks that we have just in the black neighborhood just chilling and that got to me Because there was a period of time I use Milwaukee as an example.
I do want to get to some of these YouTube comments LT I'm not talking about a stadium that was in a city and moved to the suburbs I'm talking about if there was a stadium that was built
The suburbs and there's land and opportunity in the city where there are more people and where ticket sales would be easier They don't move to the city because they're trying to stay away from diversity Now I'm not familiar with other cities, but there is no city You have other cities that are segregated But the way that Milwaukee did it with our housing covenants and the way that we were so specific and so
overt with it is not like many other cities in America.
And we still maintain our economic and geographic segregation of the races and the incomes to this day because that foundation was laid.
And because Milwaukee does still show remnants of that kind of segregation, the racism that created it and enforced it is also still here.
Problem is we hang out with those white people and don't know how much they actually hate our guts.
As long as you're not doing better than them, it's usually OK.
But once we become competitive and once we start moving into their neighborhoods, then you might get a nigger spray-painted on your garage, you know it comes with the territory So yeah, it's not that if there's opportunity to locate in what they call What are they?
Not a burgeoning market like a Untapped market or so they call black people minorities like we're untapped markets for a while insurance companies.
We're really targeting
Black people because we're under insured For a while Northwest mutual was targeting the African-American community because we don't invest our money worth of sugar honey iced tea So they wanted to sell us investment instruments.
We didn't bite But yeah, it's not about Well, I guess with outward migration because Milwaukee has become a Majority minority city with black people not being the complete majority, but the plurality of races
Not because black people are moving here.
Black people are fleeing Milwaukee.
We're a plurality black city because the white folks are running away.
And what do we do?
We chase them.
White folks are like, we're out of here.
We're going to Wauwatosa.
Here we come.
White folks are like, dang, nab it.
White folks going to Waukesha.
Here we come.
White folks going to Hartford.
Going to Slinger.
Here we come.
We're like, wait for us.
Please.
White folks are going to the moon.
Oh, oh, oh, really?
What do you think the colonization of space is about?
They trying to leave your black ass on earth.
Here we come with a space suit on.
Got a got a whole space.
Hi.
My name is Lee Roy.
Do you?
Have any section 8 moon condo.
That was racist.
One
But I have to.
I got to illustrate this because the number of black people that felt like one lady was like, but I was the first black person to play the guitar at American Family Field.
Why are you so racist?
They hate our guts.
They're just not, they're not being honest about it.
Barack Obama gets elected president not once, but twice.
Do you think the racism calmed down after that?
Do you think the people said, oh my God, he's a decent guy?
Let's stop being so, they got more racists.
I've been trying to tell you, I gotta say it at least once a week.
The more successful we become, the more racist they get.
It does not work in the opposite.
So what do we do?
We try and go above and beyond.
It's wasted effort.
Or if there's a restaurant,
Like one of the employees might be disgruntled.
Oh, oh Texas Roadhouse now they're saying it's a quote-unquote rumor, but Texas Roadhouse is it?
Investigate get they're spitting in black people's food.
I promise to God number one I guarantee that they're probably doing it Okay, and Texas Roadhouse ain't the only one y'all are some whole fools you go out to these white folks restaurants out in their neighborhoods and their damn communities and Act a fool and are disrespectful.
You don't know what they're doing to your food and here we are rating it 10 out of 10
We're so ignorant when it comes to how they feel about us It's sad because we should know better Look at all of our negative statistics y'all we you know how much help black people need to like writ large be doing this bad This can't be just us.
We got to have a lot of help from them This is not just us Barack Obama gets elected president Donald Trump was like I'll push them back
I'll take away that affirmative action, that DEI.
I'll make sure they never become president again.
I'll make it harder for them to vote.
I'll support the SAVE Act.
I'll roll back the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
I will embolden conservative organizations to sue so that black people can't even get scholarships to go to college anymore.
And so if you believe that electing Barack Obama and then re-electing him,
made racism a thing of the past you're not understanding how it works and I'm not explaining this to white folks because they know exactly what they're doing and for some of the white folks that are that are in the comments saying I can't believe this racism shut your mouth your mother your father your sister your brother your grandparents the school you went to the church you go to the job that you were at all talk negatively about black people you've heard it your entire life stop pretending like you're shocked
You can't live in that bubble if you are white everywhere they go God you see what the niggers did all the niggers are fighting against a fair That's exactly how they talk about us, but they don't do it in front of us And then we have the nerve to like think it's some kind of like it's even like sure when look the Asians were fighting So what look sure when the white people fight when they go to baseball games so what?
Do you honestly think that anybody in the world?
There's going to see a bunch of white people fighting in a baseball game and then see a bunch of black kids ravishing state fair and say, oh, same's ease.
The whites fight the blacks fight.
Are you kidding me?
No, you know that it's different when it comes to us.
And here's the other thing.
I don't care what they do.
I don't care if a bunch of white people are at a white event and they're beating the hell out of each other.
Don't bother me none.
But a bunch of black kids going out to their place and their space, going to their state fair and then fighting.
That's different.
I don't care what white folks do.
And they are more violent.
Absolutely.
They curated the violence that is this country.
All the gun violence.
They're the ones defending the Second Amendment and the Constitution.
They're making it so that anybody and everybody can get a gun so they have participation in the violence too.
Plus, they like to do the school shooting.
You got a damn lady just murdered her three damn kids and you got white women feeling sympathy for her.
By the way, gentlemen, let me give you a word of caution.
If your wife, your girlfriend, your woman or whoever is showing sympathy for Lindsey Clancy, your kids are not safe.
You need to use that information to get custody over your kids.
I'm not playing with you.
White woman comes out and says, I killed my three kids.
White women are like, no, you didn't.
It was mental illness that did it.
We support you.
They had a rally in support of a woman that murdered her kids one by one by strangling them.
You know what's saying that is?
She felt her children's bodies go lifeless in her hands and did it one by one And then try to kill herself by falling off a second-story window try to kill us up.
She jumped six feet.
Oh Damn it I'm gonna kill myself.
I'm gonna jump out of this window.
That's five feet off the ground.
It's probably landing on her feet like damn it She's paralyzed though.
There's a lot of people that think the husband that is
Of course they do those talking to some white women there You
know what it is they're they hate men that much even though she calculated Sending him out of the house to run errands and to pick up She even knew how long he was gonna be gone and was able to time the murders of all three children
in the amount of time that he was going to be gone because she sent him out of the house to run specified errands because she knew how long he would be gone and calculated how long it would take to murder her children.
It was premeditated and women are rallying on her behalf.
Fellas, I'm telling you right now, your babies ain't safe.
Take a break, come back.
I got so much more.
I got to talk about Nissan too.
Ooh Nissan loves us.
There's a Nissan dealership They got accused of racism So that's one story, but then there's another story about Nissan that goes back a couple few years and a class action lawsuit which I personally Was a part of So today we're talking about all of these covert ways in which racism is staring black people in the face, but for some reason We don't see it
We think that they like us and they support us and they're here with us And the white people in the comment section like I can't believe there's so much racism shut up That's the last thing I'm ever gonna do is explain racism to a white person know exactly what they're doing and every white person to use the n-word Even if it's in a two-pot clear, they've used it.
They always say they haven't The truth with sure when he was on one on one seven if him will be right back

How are you?
Good morning show and good morning to all the good black and white people of Milwaukee.
Oh,

to the black
they don't say good morning to
Okay, so, Sharon, yeah, I'm sorry, I just got a text.
Oh, wow, my youngest brother just passed away this morning.
But I was going to say that, yeah, it's a great day in Milwaukee.
I shout out to all the...
communities and individuals and organizations that's doing this show.
And I mean, really, really, I'm just so, I'm just so, I guess, inspired.
And I want to say that I guess the Democrats heard you because they coming out and they're saying that the Democrats, you know, the DNC is
I guess, marginalizing black issues, black representatives.
They are not hosting the democratic convention in Atlanta.
I don't know whatever is going on with that.
And then too, I want to say that I was a waitress at 19.
Remember big boys on poor Washington?
Man, that was the best time of my life.
I used to.
They give me a whole half of the gadoom restaurant because that's how good and efficient and friendly and customer service I was.
And the tip's mad.
I had the morning service during the week and then I had the evening and late night service on weekends, maybe $100 a day, I'm trying to tell you.
But anyways, it helped my freshman years in college and my new apartment, all of this.
But yeah, that's what I have to say.
And I'm really digging those shades.
I'm trying to tell you.
I'm trying to tell you.
I'm trying to tell you.
See you later.
Oh, you won't.
You ain't gonna see me.
New Berlin Mayor Dave Amon.
is under fire after two Muslim organizations call for his resignation following the discovery of anti Muslim racist and sexist content.
He shared publicly on Facebook because you imagine if more of the so we have roughly 1,850 851 municipalities in the state of Wisconsin.
Could you imagine if.
some of the village presidents and the mayors of the 1850 or 1851 Mayors and village presidents actually told People via social media how they feel about minorities and black people how hurt we would be I think they should I Think that we need to be more aware now.
They're not gonna do that because they want to keep us in suspense.
They want us to still
Spend our money.
They don't want to force a boycott and of course they don't want the media attention and the media scrutiny But we're in this really unusual climate.
I say it's unusual because typically if I don't know an elected official or maybe even a business owner was caught Saying something that was derogatory or racist or discriminatory whatever They would lose a lot of business.
They would get boycotted people would say oh, I want nothing to do with that restaurant
Now there's such a willing audience to support people that have that kind of courage if you're a I don't know a mayor or if you're a restaurant owner and you say something racist They'll get you a go fund me.
They'll pay Don't let you don't kill a black person.
You kill a black person The the racist will pay for your lawyer and give you a couple hundred thousand dollars to live on and another couple hundred thousand dollars for your trouble But we for some reason as black people don't recognize that
Remember Chud the Builder.
Well, he got a million dollars donated for his bail after shooting a black man.
There you go.
Remember Shila Hendrix?
Oh, of course.
Called the Little Kid and Nigger.
Got a million dollars.
Oh, that's just
Oh, yeah.
The Muslim Women's Coalition and the Wisconsin Muslim Civic Alliance brought Mayor Amon's post to light.
The content includes reposts such as, quote,
If you voted for a Muslim for elected office, you're a traitor.
Another one, he said, if it weren't for white people, slavery would have never ended.
That's not entirely false.
Right.
They.
It's a it's not politically correct to say that.
But black people probably wanted to end slavery, too.
But no one listened to us.
The whites had to say Abraham Lincoln had say, hey, hey, hey, hey, enough.
Stop it now.
That's time out for that.
And then the South was like.
Do we have to?
And Abraham Lincoln was like.
Slowly, but yeah, kind of take a couple of years.
And the South was like, oh, well, we're not going to be nice to them.
For like a really long time and Abraham Lincoln was the hats out of my hands, but you gotta free him And the South was like, oh man Who's gonna get all this cotton out of the ground?
Tell you what let's pass some black code.
So if we got a free I'm fine.
Let's make everything black people do Illegal and the city councils were like wait what?
We can't do that, can we?
No, no, no.
Somebody was like, no, no, hear me out.
Hear me out.
If we got to free him, fine, because, you know, the Emancipation Proclamation or whatever.
So fine.
We got to free him.
But let's let's make them just like standing around illegal and then we'll arrest them.
And then for all of you plantation owners that lost all of your labor to, you know, freedom.
How about you just rent.
The black people from the jail.
In a plantation, owners were like.
For how much?
I don't know, like nine bucks.
But then do we have to like take care of them?
And the jail was like, no, work on the death.
And then when they died, just come back and get another.
We'll just keep arresting them.
Or how about this?
Don't let them buy any land.
Let them rent the land.
For more money.
Then their harvest can possibly produce and then they'll always be indebted to you and then open up a store so they can buy seed and they can buy food and clothes and let them buy on credit.
and so when they take their rented land and they plant their crops and of course they got to plant crops to feed themselves and whatever crops they have left over they'll sell but whatever it is as far as money goes that they make from selling their crops take all the money because that pays back the credit they have at the store and it pays for the renting of the land we'll call it share cropping because we're going to share in the cropping
Genius idea Janan Najib Founder of the Muslim Women's Coalition said she was shocked when she first saw the mayor of New Berlin's post quote at first I didn't think it was real Najib said Najib described the content as deeply offensive and wide-ranging in its targets quote anti-Muslim
It's anti-black.
It's anti-immigrant.
It's very sexist to the point.
It's cringey and unfortunate for someone of his caliber and stature and age to be posting some of these things.
It was revolting, actually.
Najeeb said, I don't know how in the world a Muslim person is shocked that there's an anti-Muslim sentiment, first of all, anywhere in a Christian country.
Let's keep that in mind.
let alone in a town like New Berlin like Why I'm so just blown away.
It's because they're not being honest with us and they're not telling us on the daily basis how they actually feel Because then none of this was shocked us, but when we hear we're like, oh, you mean there's white people that don't like Muslims Since when September 11th did not help just saying The posts appear on Amon's personal Facebook account, which was made public
Until which was public rather until questions were raised about the content at times dozens of reposts appear daily among them a video of a group of people holding a ban Islam now sign and another post captioned How to stop a Muslim invasion accompanied by a video showing military men throwing bacon at people that's mean because the Muslims don't eat the pork
It's concerning to me as a citizen here in Wisconsin and as someone that represents the Muslim community.
Najib said he's really defining women by their cleavage to market his racist support for certain posts and reposting that doesn't bode.
Well, I bet you that mayor gets reelected.
Now, a little history about New Berlin, because some of you may have forgotten.
This one comes from.
January 1, 2011, so 15 years ago, you ready for this?
The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against New Berlin, Wisconsin, alleging that the city violated the Fair Housing Act by preventing the construction of an affordable housing development proposed by MSP Real Estate Incorporated, filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
You know who filed it?
Eric Holder, when he was Attorney General.
New Berlin said and I'm gonna I'm gonna take a break when I come back.
So the mayor of New Berlin at the time He's not the mayor anymore.
He was actually in favor of this Affordable housing development in New Berlin that was going to be paid for by federal tax credit the people in New Berlin slashed the mayor's tires threatened him his kids and his wife and they vandalized his house because the former mayor of New Berlin it actually was in favor
of low income housing coming to New Berlin was essentially they were about to recall them and he didn't run for reelection.
This is the same New Berlin where the current mayor posted.
anti Muslim, anti woman and anti black things on his social media.
You would have thought that 15 years ago we would have gotten the message about New Berlin.
So why all of the shock when you find out right now because one of those people that may have threatened the mayor of New Berlin in 2011 very well could be the guy that's mayor of New Berlin right now.
Take a break, come back.
And I have details of some of the horrendous horrendous things that people said to the previous mayor of New Berlin.
And this guy was actually in favor of affordable housing.
And there's some of the quotes because people left them voicemail messages.
We don't want niggers moving to New Berlin.
Oh, they were just very open with it.
But you know, some black folks like, I'll move to New Berlin anyway and show them how well behaved a black person can be.
Why do we do that?
Like, we find out that somebody hates us and we always think that we have to be some kind of a pioneer.
Well, I'm gonna show them what a good behave black looks like.
Next thing you know, you're gonna be hanging from a tree.
They're literally hanging.
Has anybody black people been hung in the last two years?
Oh, suicide.
It's a suicide.
That's not...
22 since May.
Xavier said 22 black people have been filing hanging since May.
That's...
They're lynching us and we're surprised that they're racist sure when I can't believe some of the comments They left that multicultural day at Miller Park, but 22 people have been lynched If I'm killing myself first of all, I'm not suicidal.
I'm I'm not gonna I'm not gonna hang myself
from a tree
It's over.
I don't want to
Putting a noose around my own neck.
That's ridiculous.
I'm gonna go out like a wimp.
I'm gonna take a bottle of aspirin And just go to sleep with a teddy bear.
You know what I mean?
If I was to do it I would do it in the softest most gentle way possible I'm not and cuz here's the thing I would mess up the noose and try to hang myself My big ass would break the rope I'd fall down and have like a broken ankle and would limp in to work the next day Sherman What happened?
I got rope burns around my neck and a broken ankle.
Oh Trying to hang myself
No.
We're being lynched.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back.
Very Italian sounding last name.
Chivo Vitero, am I saying all right?
Chivo, I guess so.
He and his family faced intense harassment, threatening phone calls and racist slurs at his home after he, the mayor of New Berlin in 2011.
initially supported a proposed affordable and senior workforce housing development.
The fierce public backlash and recall threats ultimately led city officials to rescind the approval triggering a federal fair housing lawsuit from the Obama administration.
The MSP real estate group planned to multifamily
and senior development in the city center that included workforce housing units intended for people earning thirty five thousand dollars or less a year so at the time there was a lot of construction going on in New Berlin and a lot of the people working on that construction were Mexican but then somebody found it unfair that how are you Mexican and working in New Berlin but can't afford to live there so that was the impetus behind this development group saying well let's do an affordable housing unit
in New Berlin, so the people that are working on construction projects can actually live there.
That's only fair.
The backlash.
Opponents voiced fears regarding crime and lower property values, which morphed into hostile protests, a racist sign left at the mayor's home and targeted intimidation of his wife and children.
Shia Vitaro, I think I'm saying his name wrong.
Later withdrew his support under the intense pressure leading to a discrimination lawsuit filed against New Berlin by the US Department of Justice and the developers, though the housing complex was eventually built and opened years later.
So that also took place in New Berlin.
Let's get to this Nissan one.
So how many of you, let's see.
Let me take a look at the poll.
We lost the damn YouTube again.
What's going on with the YouTube?
I can't even do my work.
All right 37% of you have owned a Nissan.
Hey, that's I'm included in that 37% because I once had a Nissan Pathfinder.
In fact, I love that truck.
I bought that truck and I leased it and It was a 2001 and I started my lease
the fall of 2000 so it was a brand brand new
2001 Nissan Pathfinder.
Ooh, we're all leather moon roof.
That was back when you had the six disc CD changer in the dash.
You would just load your CDs up right into the dash and you had a six disc changer.
Had the Bose audio system.
It was black with the black leather.
You couldn't tell me nothing in that truck.
You understand me?
I was a young man too.
25 years old riding around in some brand new.
Boy, you hated to see me coming.
Come and find out that Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation was charging black and Hispanic buyers more money and higher finance charges and they got caught.
I received in the mail information alerting me that I also was in that class action lawsuit and I at the ripe old age of 25 buying my or leasing my first new car
Was charge inflated fees?
I didn't know no better back then.
It's not like buying a car now now Everything is online.
You can research the car online You can find out what the dealer pays for the car what the dealer markup is you can see what other dealerships are Selling their vehicles for back in a day.
Yeah to get a damn newspaper and find out how much cars was costing it was we had to go to a dealership
There was no online carbine back then, and what I think that online carbine did is it made pricing way more competitive and way more transparent.
In fact, a vehicle that I got right now, I bought it off of Carvana.
They delivered that joke into my house.
It's all, here you go, Sherwin.
Here's your vehicle.
Here, test drive it.
If you don't like it, we'll take it back and get you another one.
I was like, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna like it.
I literally drove the Tesla around the block.
I'm like, I'm good.
All right, here you go.
Here's your license plates.
Here you go.
Have a nice day.
Sign this right here.
Sign the paperwork.
Bye-bye.
And they drove away.
And they took my old vehicle because, no, I had a Chevy Volt.
I drove the hell out that Volt.
I drove that Volt to the core of the Earth and back.
But still never took it to Chicago, though, for some reason.
The case was called Kason.
Versus the Nissan motor acceptance corporation, can I just tell y'all something y'all want to know something?
So this is in the year 2000 I got my lease I Trade my blazer in I Think I might have because I was driving a Chevy Blazer when I
Signed my lease to get my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder was black black leather had the moon roof had a six disc CD changer in the dash.
It was the le model Top of the line top notch You know how much my damn payment was and I need you to think about this now ladies and gentlemen, this is 26 years ago I'm in my first job out of college.
I was making okay money.
I mean back then I was making
33,000 a year that was money back then you got some people not coming out of cars can't make 33,000 back in 99 or 2000 when I got that job as a community organizer for the YMC Community Development Corporation I don't have no bills.
I only had no credit cards 33 thousand dollars a year and health insurance a little paychecks was like $900 every two weeks my rent was only 605 a month
So I could pay my rent with one of my paychecks and still have like $300 left over I had underground parking to Man life is good.
I feel bad for the young people right now because now They're lucky if they can make $33,000 a year and that's where I started at they started me at 33.
Well, I was living good I said, I'm gonna go give me a car.
I need me a new car You know my payment was
$571.33 a month in the year 2000.
Let me do some inflationary math on that.
It was expensive, but I wanted that new car.
I was completely and totally ripped off, not stayed in that lease for about.
Maybe two years.
And then I bought a Land Rover.
I'm a car guy.
I like nice cars.
What can I say?
My dad was a car guy.
My mother's always had nice cars.
Got to have a nice car now, because every time you go somewhere, I don't care if you go into the McDonald's drive through or go into a fancy event.
If you got a nice car, every time you get in it, you reward yourself for a job well done.
Got to have a nice car now.
Can't be pulling up in no junk.
The Volt wasn't.
Particularly fancy, but I was flirting with electric vehicles and that was a good starter vehicle because I didn't know if I wanted to go full balls to the wall electric and then I realized how incredibly inexpensive That vote was to operate that car was so inexpensive to operate I paid it off in like two years because I wasn't really doing a lot of maintenance oil changes was every two years
I never had to replace the brakes because it's got that regenerative braking.
So that's maintenance I didn't have to deal with.
I never went to the gas station.
I think I got gas for that volt maybe three or four times a year.
Max and only had a seven gallon gas tank.
So even if gas was $5 a gallon, I'm only paying $35 every three months to fill up.
Very inexpensive vehicle to operate.
I was like, I can go full balls to the wall in the luxury.
Now look at me, driving an Elon Musk special.
But in 2000, my lease was five.
I'm going to do the inflation calculator.
What would that be right now?
57133 in the year 2000.
In two days.
Money.
Jesus Christ.
OK, my first new car.
Was a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder that I leased for a lease payment of five hundred seventy one Why would anybody even let me do this when I did the inflation calculator?
That's like having a car payment today of one thousand one hundred seven dollars and eighty two cents Do you know what kind of car you can get for a monthly payment of eleven hundred bucks?
You can get a hell of a lot better of a car than a Nissan.
Why did anybody allow me to pay that?
money.
Well, I guess you couldn't tell me nothing
back
Good Lord.
In case and versus Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation, minority car buyers filed a class action lawsuit alleging that Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation allowed car dealers discretion to mark up interest rates.
This practice resulted in African Americans and Hispanic customers paying
disparate higher finance charges than white borrowers and guess who I got that vehicle from what got that Nissan Pathfinder from Rosen Rosen Rosen y'all remember Rosen Rosen rip me off I Ain't no no better.
I was 25 years old $571.33 is what my lease payment was
And you have sales tax added on top of that.
You know when you lease a vehicle, you pay sales tax on the least amount every single month.
I don't even know what it was with the sales tax.
It was obviously more than that, probably closer to $600 a month.
Good God.
Lawsuit and findings.
The core issue.
Lenders approved baseline financing rates, but permitted auto dealers to add an extra percentage.
Markups who increase their profit, statistical studies, plaintiffs introduced expert research showing the minority buyers paid significantly higher average dealer markups than white buyers with similar credit profiles.
The Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation denied direct wrongdoing or intentional racial bias, arguing that variations in pricing stem from legitimate creditworthiness factors and market forces rather than race.
I'm going to take a break, come back and talk about the settlement in which I was a part.
We're listening to the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 101.7 FM.
I'll be right back
Don't touch that dial the truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back on 101 7 the truth the truth app and 101 7 the truth calm This is the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 101 7 the truth the truth app and 101 7 the truth calm
Today's show has been dedicated to all the ways in which racism is still very much alive and well around us, but when it Rears its ugly head black people are the first ones that are shocked and can't believe that people say those things and can't believe that they think like that about us And I'm here to tell you yeah, they do and I wish that they would be more honest
so that we would be much more aware of how much they actually hate us.
And I know what you're thinking, but sure, when we didn't do anything wrong and we're good people and we work hard, that doesn't matter because the better you are and the more you follow the rules and the more you excel and the more success becomes you, the more they hate us.
It's almost like an inverse relationship.
There is nothing you can do to convince these people otherwise.
And so I would say is continue to live your life be all that you can be and just
as best you can try and shake it off.
I mean, I guess you can get involved in the fight and be an anti-racist, but I'm not entirely sure what that's gonna do it.
But why should you as a black person...
try to convince the person that has created and maintained and fortified a system that they have prided themselves on for centuries.
It's not for us to fix, but we think that if we just work a little harder, if we go to a white-owned restaurant and we tip a little bit more, then they're going to love us.
No, they're going to hate us more.
They're going to wonder why we have so much damn money to tip in the first place.
They're going to assume that we robbed a banker.
We sell dope.
Oh, don't be in a nicer car than them.
It's these micro aggressions.
They'll say stuff like well So what do you like Sherwin?
I mean, I don't want to be nosy or anything I'm like no, no, no, please by all means show me your true colors, but like how did Like you bought a house like how did you do that?
Like why do you have a nice car like what do you?
What do you?
You don't ever question a white person and ask them why they have a nice car.
I see a white person when I come like oh you sell fancy You sell coke
No, we think like all their parents had money they inherited a bunch of money They got a good job.
They blah blah blah They murdered a black person and got to go fund me and they profited a whole bunch of money We always think of incredible excuses as to why they have nice things and have nice houses and have nice cars That might be selling dope too dope got to get here some kind of way But they always assume the worst about us even when we follow the rules and it's horrible black women you have it the worst I'm not sure if y'all know this if you are
An attractive black woman, but there's a kicker to it.
An attractive black woman that wears your natural hair.
And you're skinny.
They hate you more than they hate a rained out baseball game.
Attractive black women that are thin.
Oh my God.
It's some of the most visceral, disgusting hatred because the thing about.
That black woman especially when you have a body type that is idealized by white men They are scared to death of you and they always want to know about your hair and they want to touch your hair They want to get to know you and they'll even mimic some of the vernacular.
There you go, sister queen.
Yes girl.
Yes They hate your guts.
Don't ask me how I know I've seen it firsthand my entire life.
These white women hate they hate black women
It's so bad, but here's the thing black women don't even realize they think that they're being accepted Why women ask them to hang out What do we do we invite them to the damn barbecue?
Does that really happen or is that more symbolic?
The the cookout invite
Okay
We see a white person that can dance real good or sing with some soul like we celebrate cultural appropriation
Oh my God, that white person can dance real good.
Look at his Michael Jackson impression.
You're invited to the cookout.
I think that we have always been looking for racial reconciliation for some reason.
We feel like we need to be accepted by them.
If you're accepted by them.
That's the wrong kind of acceptance.
So we started the program talking about this multicultural event that they had at.
American Family Field.
They was called Black Culture Fest.
And they posted an advertisement about it on social media and the comments didn't disappoint, right?
Are we going to hear smoke detectors chirping in the background?
That's that's I hate to laugh.
Some of it is so ridiculous.
Is there going to be a
Of course, talking about the fighting and talking about the violence.
And this is.
Like an event that was put on by SocialX and SocialX is like a social group organization that tries to prevent brain drain of people that are from Milwaukee educated here and they move somewhere else.
You can't stop people from leaving Milwaukee because why would they want to stay here?
Once your eyes are open to how bad it actually is and how you get treated and how you get disrespected, you think that I haven't seen it being in the field that I am in.
I run circles around white radio hosts because they suck.
They suck.
They're boring.
They're unimaginative.
They're not creative.
Here's what I want.
Here's when white radio could become great again.
Tell us how you feel.
Now, some conservatives do, but they're still kind of careful with their language.
Mark Belling was the best at all.
He'd tell you straight out.
He didn't like these people, did all sorts of stereotypes.
I appreciated him because I think that black folks need to actually hear how they truly feel about us because then we get it.
But also the black community is Nothing more than a colony full of sharecroppers in which our money and our income Goes to someone else if you're barely making you can barely afford your rent you're renting you don't own the property You're paying somebody else and you have all these Asian restaurants and Middle Eastern owned gas stations and Mexican food trucks
further taking our income out of our pockets and away from black owned businesses.
I'm gonna talk about that coming up in hour three.
The black community is simply a colony used to extract wealth away from us and going into somebody else's pocket.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be back for hour
three.
I wanted to take some time on today's program to illustrate to black people who seem to be shocked and in the dark about how insanely racist some white people are because they tend to be more covert with it.
They're not out with it.
They're not saying the n-word.
There's no signs posted, whites only, colors only.
And so because we don't see the overt racism.
We think that it's not there and we think that they're really our friends and they're really our allies No, they're just hiding under a mask It's why the Klan war hoods because they didn't want you to know who they really were They were the sheriffs.
They were school teachers.
They were judges They were elected officials and they hid that identity.
They're doing the exact same thing now And so I gave you a couple of examples.
There was a black culture night at American Family Field ahead of a baseball game on Friday
and the comments on what should have been a really educational and fun day for anyone going to watch the brewers play the advertisement of that event just turned into a disgusting display of how insanely racist some white people are and the fact that black people were in the comments and why are you saying this about us but this is so mean and black people were sharing and say look at what they're saying about us how your parents didn't warn you
I've been warned about in my entire life, and I've been able to steer relatively clear every night again.
They'll catch you They'll catch you but if you get a mad enough even your closest white friends will call you in there Get a mad enough do I don't know get a mad enough Beat them outpace them out earn them be smarter than them.
It's just a matter of time Because they all think it even when they say sure when you guys can say it
How come I can't say it?
Oh, be my guest.
You absolutely can't.
In fact, use it the way we do.
If that is a word that you use, use it all the time.
Because when we don't hear it, we think that they don't, that they don't actually use the word.
We think that, oh, it's not in their vocabulary.
But sure, when my white friends have never used the N word, no, they've never used it around you.
talked about the mayor of New Berlin who shared posted and reposted things that are anti Muslim anti black and anti woman that went back into a little bit of history about New Berlin where the city of New Berlin got sued by Eric Holder and the US Department of Justice in the Obama administration because there was going to be an affordable housing unit built in New Berlin and the current the mayor of New Berlin at the time got so many threats he had to drop his support
for the affordable housing unit because they threatened him, they vandalized his vehicle, they threatened his wife and they threatened his children because he supported people that were working construction in New Berlin actually having an affordable place to live in New Berlin.
He, the mayor at the time, decided he was going to pull because they were threatening to kill him.
Imagine that.
It's OK to hire the workers to build houses and to build new construction in New Berlin.
But again, but allowing for an affordable housing unit being built with tax credits to be constructed in New Berlin is where they draw the line.
And so the mayor pulls back on his support and ultimately did not run for reelection.
So don't be shocked at the current mayor of New Berlin said some very racist things.
Talked about Nissan asked you guys in the YouTube chat how many of you have ever or do you currently drive a Nissan because Nissan.
an automotive company allowed dealerships to charge black and Hispanic borrowers additional markups and additional fees and additional finance fees to make more profit, but they did not require or let you those fees on on white borrowers and then because we were talking about Nissan in today's JS online racial discrimination lawsuit filed against the Kenosha Nissan dealership, so it looks like they're still at it
and the Nissan lawsuit that I was talking about was 26 years ago but this article dated no a couple of days ago last week Thursday August 20th, 2026 says Kenosha Nissan management threatened several of the car dealerships black employees who reported racial harassment in 2024 according to a lawsuit recently filed in federal court.
The lawsuit filed by the U.S.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on August 18th in U.S.
District Court of Milwaukee states a white sales manager compared one black employee to an animal and assaulted him.
The sales manager also called black employees slow, lazy, and made black employees work in the back of the office instead of the front according to a lawsuit.
The employees are not identified in the lawsuit nor are the general manager or other leadership several employees Resigned for fear of being terminated and Kenosha Nissan fired an employee in retaliation for complaining about the harassment and or because of his race according to the lawsuit There was no record on August 20th for a lawyer representing Kenosha Nissan
Calls and emails sent to the dealership by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel were not immediately returned.
You guys remember the Q&S dealership where there was a black woman who went there for oil change and they wrote on her oil change sticker, the N word.
And then, so then, I guess it was supposed to be a joke, right?
You guys remember the story?
Ben and Carrie talked about it when they were, when they had a morning show here.
So the Q&S dealership had a service employee change the oil on a black woman's vehicle, wrote Nigger.
on her oil change reminder sticker that they put in the top left corner of your of your vehicle that he expected somebody to remove it like I think it might have been a joke between people that work at the dealership and he thought that somebody would have removed it and they didn't and the woman took the vehicle home so then the woman gets a call from the dealership saying oh can we come to your house we need we left something in your car we can we come to your house no you can't come to my house what you want to come to my house for and then she realized why they wanted to come
to her house to remove the sticker and eventually they were all embarrassed and the cunus dealership did an apology if i'm not mistaken i think they gave away a free car to try and to smooth over the the pr nightmare that that was well i know they have a free car giveaway going on right now and maybe that's to make up for what was a horrible pr nightmare for them but i'm giving you all these examples because black people for some reason are shocked
to find out that white people hate our guts.
And it's damn near all of them.
It really is.
It is.
But we think that they're oh, no, they don't say anything bad about me.
But then there's another story.
This one is bad.
Texas Roadhouse is forced to respond after a disturbing post starts making the rounds online.
Texas Roadhouse has officially responded.
after an anonymous post began circulating online with some very disturbing allegations involving black customers.
So before I get into the details of this one, I've only been to the Texas Roadhouse, I think one time, because it's in West Bend.
I'm not out there very often.
I don't even know what the hell I was doing out there.
I was in, you know, was I buying a car?
What was I doing in West Bend?
It was a long time ago.
Oh, probably 10, 15 years ago, if it was a day.
And somebody said, oh, let's go to Texas Roadhouse.
They got good honey butter.
I don't listen to me.
Hold on now.
You get this shirt went down with some good bread and some butter and I'll be cool.
I don't know what it is about bread and butter.
I can go to town now.
Don't have me go into the cheesecake factory any place where they serve you some good bread and butter.
That's all I need at the appetizer.
Or if I go to go to the Italians, you know, you go to a Italian restaurant.
Here's what you do when you get some good Italian bread at an Italian restaurant.
I should I get Italian some credit Italians know how to eat now They eat a big monster Choles and lasagna.
I went to the Olive Garden not too long ago.
We went for my brother's birthday.
I love some Olive Garden It's not real real Italian food, but it's Italian enough
Are you a fan of balasteries?
I'm thinking of the one on blue mound.
I'm not having no damn arguing with people who got the best damn chicken wings No has the best chicken wings everyone shut up about the damn chicken wings But here's what you do with the Italians because the Italians had that good olive oil
Olive oil is one of those things where quality is commensurate with price.
So if you pay
$37 for a bottle of olive oil.
That's going to be some good olive oil.
Get it infused.
Maybe with a little garlic infused, some kind of herb infused olive oil.
You can cook with it, but it's got a low smoke point now.
You can't fry stuff.
You can't deep fry stuff in the olive oil, but olive oil is good, clean, healthy oil.
But here's what you do with the good olive oil.
It's got to be good olive oil.
It can't be no cheap stuff.
Don't get no Kroger olive oil.
Get something with an Italian name you can't pronounce.
with a bunch of apostrophes and a bunch of like Z's in it.
Get something that's real Italian.
But here's what you do.
You just some good Italian bread.
Okay.
And you get you a little dish.
And you pour out some of that good olive oil.
Maybe that garlic, herb infused olive oil into that little dish.
You're not done yet.
Listen to me.
I'm trying to teach you how to eat.
Now y'all don't know how to eat, right?
You get you some Parmesan cheese.
You sprinkle some of that Parmesan cheese on that good urban fuse garlic and fuels olive oil.
Okay, listen, you're not done yet Keep listening to me.
You don't know how to eat.
I'm gonna teach you how to eat You get you a piece of that good crusty Italian bread that fresh Italian bread is crusty on the outside soft on the inside You know what I'm talking about like a mean woman hard exterior soft on the inside and you stop
Okay, you take some of that bread you got to break it you got to break that bread Get you a nice little piece of that a crusty Italian bread and you stop it in that good urban fuse garlic infuse olive oil with that Parmesan cheese get you a good stop Don't do no weak stop stop like you mean it You dip it let it sit for a thing let it soak let it marinate Get you a load of that
Don't get too fancy with and throw you a couple of little red pepper flakes there now you want to slap somebody You know what I mean?
That's how you got to do it with the Italian.
What was I even talking about?
I just got wrapped up in Texas Roadhouse has officially responded after an anonymous post began circulating online with some very disturbing allegations involving guess who black customers And know this has nothing to do with Donald Trump, but here's what Donald Trump did
He said something that we missed or we we made it seem like it was something else like when Donald Trump says something He's not smart enough to have any double-on tondra when he says it.
He means it We got to listen to him.
He said I'll be your retribution Let put your faith in me do sounded almost biblical when he said it I'll be your retribution If you hate them, I will create policies that will show how much we hate them
You're not successful.
You're not doing well economy ain't doing well for you.
How about this?
I'll punish them.
I'll lock them up.
I'll send them back I will deport them with no due process I will have white warrantless searches of their own even if they're American citizens don't matter if they fit the bill I'll take them out.
Oh the blacks.
Oh, we got them.
They're easy to fool
We'll take away everything that gives them an opportunity.
We'll make it harder for them to go to school.
We'll make it so that colleges can't look at race.
Even if colleges have a history of racial discrimination, we'll make college more expensive.
We'll take away their scholarship.
We're going to take away affirmative action.
We're going to take away DEI.
They will suffer.
We'll also reduce the amount of money that the federal government invests in cancer research.
Because what we've found is that when the federal government invests in cancer research,
Guess who survival rates go up?
You guessed it, black people.
That's DEI to cut it all out.
I will be your rich rebution and he didn't lie.
Not one time.
That's the only thing he didn't lie about.
But for some reason that flew over our heads.
They hate us.
And here's the thing.
They're going to get mad at me for doing this show because they never wanted to expose.
I know how much they hate us and I can appreciate their passion.
I really can and I know I don't go into their places into their spaces because for what?
I think I'm going out of my way to go to some damn restaurant in Waukesha that y'all find.
Are y'all insane?
You know what they're doing to your food?
And I know this because I know somebody who worked at a restaurant that got fired for spitting in the food.
I know that when we had a co-op, so at Brown Deer High School, if you were a senior, you could have you could spend 7th and 8th hour at a job if you had a job somewhere.
Okay.
There was a McDonald's on Rean Bay Road here.
Imagine this.
They tore it down McDonald's.
Hey, I don't even exist no more.
How you tear it out of McDonald's?
McDonald's always gonna make money because it's always fat people and nuggets are delicious.
And so is the Big Mac.
That's why the Big Mac been on the menu for 50 years.
It's delicious.
I don't care what you say.
You can hate fast food all you want.
It's not good for you.
You're not supposed to eat it every day.
But every now and again, if I give me a good hot fresh Big Mac, my toes curl.
I sometimes I take a Big Mac over a date with a woman.
You know what I mean?
Sometimes the woman gonna give you way more headache.
I ain't never been disappointed by Big Mac even if it ain't fresh it's still better than a woman with a bad attitude.
You know what I'm saying?
And I already know how much the Big Mac gonna cause.
That woman might cost you a whole bunch.
She might cost you 18 years lost to child support.
You would have wished you would have got that Big Mac.
Big Mac it spends like $6.99.
That's alright.
I'll pay $6.99 once.
Sit in my car.
Put on some Kenny G Take off my shirt Sitting apart.
I got ten in windows.
Don't worry about what I do in my car.
Why y'all always in my business worried about what I'm doing I Need to get yourself some business depends on the woman It always depends on the woman, but I hear they they over here defending Lizzie Lindsey Clancy You can have them you can have all them women.
Yeah, you know
Yeah, lady was trying to tell me that this uh this weekend
An anonymous person claimed the white servers were spitting in the food of black customers and even mentioned a Facebook group called white servers only I'm I wish I could be a member of that group.
I think they've since taken the group down y'all have no idea when they see us coming how bad They want us to leave I Got friends at own restaurants and he's had to fire servers because when he hears them
arguing about who's gonna take the black table and nobody wants to take that's why we sit there you ever go to a restaurant and just you sit there and everybody else getting seated everybody else gotta take you still sitting there you still sitting there or you at a restaurant ain't nobody coming to greet you
Anybody coming to sell will see you in a sec.
Anybody coming because the servers are arguing because nobody wants you in their section.
We need to know and understand this.
They don't want us and they colonize our neighborhood.
Look how many Chinese food restaurants we got in our community.
Look how many Mexican food trucks just come plop themselves down in the black community.
That has taken our economics and it is competing against black owned restaurants.
Let me tell you how it used to be in Milwaukee.
A lot of folks don't know this history.
If you had an Irish bakery in Milwaukee, say around the turn of the 20th century, back when the Irish and the Italians and the Poles, they all hated each other.
And the Germans and the Jews, all the white folks, because we weren't up here yet.
When we came up here, then they all could direct their hate toward us.
But before we got here, all the white folks used to hate each other.
In fact, the labor massacre in Bayview in 1880, that was white people killing each other.
So let's say you got a permit to open.
You're Irish.
You got a little Irish bakery, whatever, because back then everything was about ethnicity.
Now you can't really use ethnicity.
Now, like you could back then, because if you were Irish, you had a Irish bakery, then all the Irish immigrants, that's where they would go.
You were from Ireland you were you were from the homeland they wanted to support you they wanted to provide you with With profit if you're Irish you saw I got an Irish Baker.
Oh, you do I'll go I'm Irish too.
My name is Mick Lurkin Mick Murray Mickey Whatever the mix are You go to the Irish Baker, but if you got Your little Irish bakery in an Italian neighborhood like in a third Ward you open up your little Irish bakery
An Italian neighbor, you know what the Italians would do?
Oh, okay.
You want it?
It will bust out your windows.
They will destroy your store and it said, you got a couple options.
This is what they used to do to keep their neighborhoods ethnically clean so that no other ethnicity was taken profit away from their community.
We as black folks don't do this.
We welcome every damn body.
Not only do we invite anybody and everybody to the barbecue.
Come on and open up your business in our neighborhood.
Please extract more profit and more income from the black community so we have less money to spend with our own Y'all stop chipping over these damn grocery stores closing because y'all spending your money at the damn taco truck Ain't going to no damn grocery store one or one of grocery stores closing.
First of all, y'all can't cook White women can't cook either.
You know what they call it girl dinner
I'm fascinated by how they're almost exactly the same, but they'll have cute little names for the fact that they don't know anything about domestic duties.
I did a girl dinner and I'm watching this TikTok video with my mouth wide open because I'm just a gas at what girl dinner.
You know what this bra did?
I got some leftover rice to put some salt on it.
Girl dinner.
Oh, you can't cook.
No, it's not that I can't cook.
It's girl dinner.
I don't know who the hell invented.
A charcuterie board?
We're having girl dinner.
You eating the salami and cheese?
You eating the lunchable?
What olives?
We're going to call it girl dinner, because canine and none of y'all even boil some water.
White girl talking about she making dinner.
She making Kraft macaroni and cheese and the noodles be crunchy.
You know what I mean?
Come on, ladies.
Call it girl dinner.
I can't cook.
We're going to call it girl dinner.
What are you eating?
One microwaved potato.
Girl dinner.
But no, we don't cook either.
Damn food for all these damn Chinese restaurants in our neighborhood.
Why would you go to girls?
You can go get you some egg rolls.
You know what I'm saying?
The an honest person claimed that white servers were spitting in the food of black customers and even mentioned a Facebook group called white servers only.
Those are some extremely serious accusations at this time No evidence has been released confirming that anybody's food was actually tampered with of course not not gonna admit that that's a big felony So at the co-op that we had the McDonald's on Green Bay Road and Brown is back in the early 90s When they found out a cop was in a drive-through Because the burger patties are frozen they put them in this thing called a queue
Q is something that heats the burger patty up and then they make your double cheeseburger They make you quarter pounder.
They make you big man They would play hockey with the frozen patties if they knew that a cop was in the drive-thru and this I knew for an absolute fact and this is 30 some years ago You think with how they feel about us right now that they don't spit in our food and we go into these restaurants and we act a fool don't we
No, I need more.
They bring me three more limited.
No, I don't want to pay for this.
We split in this tab seven way.
You honestly think that they're going to serve your food with his thing.
They're going to smile at you.
They're going to be very nice because I'm reading the comments on this.
This Texas Roadhouse post and I feel so bad for the black folks because they over here saying, but every time I go to Texas Roadhouse, they treat me with respect and they smile at me.
Because you don't need to be mean to somebody if you spit in their food.
You should be nice because if you're mean and have an attitude, then you might suspect, uh-oh, I maybe shouldn't trust this server.
They're giving me a mean look.
But if they bring that hamburger out, it's got extra sauce on it and don't even, it's probably not ranch.
Y'all be careful.
That may not be ranch.
I don't know how I bring my own ranch.
I bring my own bottle of Hidden Valley.
I ain't trusting that ranch.
Don't you do it.
Yeah, can I get an extra thing of ranch to be there?
Sure.
And what's crazy is you might have a waitress, but it's a waiter that brings the ranch.
Don't do it.
Don't you do that ranch.
Y'all dip everything in ranch.
Ranch fries, pizza, each other.

Linda says, Oh, good Lord.
Sherwin, I want to talk about why you.
Sugar honey iced tea on compliments you need to learn how to accept and receive compliments by sincere black women period Linda you make it weird That's why you make it weird you make it uncomfortable You make it overly sexual and I bring this up because if if a man Made the same kinds of comments to a female host
Nobody would stand for but for some y'all got a chill with that.
I
don't
think men want we don't want to hear We only want to hear compliments from the people we want to hear compliments from you can't make sexual compliments to everybody That's disgusting and unwanted I mean you I had that you put it in the YouTube chats I had to give you a little bit of honesty now because that's what we go and do we go and be honest We want the white people to be honest with us too, but I'm like they ate our guts
Almost wish they could put signs up that say no blacks allowed then you would know not to go in there Because wouldn't you rather know I'd rather know it might hurt my feelings at first especially if I saw it like a Burger King Hi from this point forward Burger King will no longer be serving blacks.
I mean, oh Darn it.
I Wanted a fish sandwich I would rather know instead of living in ignorance because They're gonna get their revenge if they don't want us
Then they're gonna find a way To be micro aggressive to do something that is sublime to do something that we don't notice and here we are thinking we're getting a good experience They really don't like us and if the criminal justice system isn't an indicator if the education system isn't an indicator
If the generation after generation of lack of black home ownership lack of policy that addresses some of these fundamental issues like that's not an indicator They really don't like us the way they treated Barack Obama the way Donald Trump runs for president three times and got worse and worse and worse each successive run and wins two out of three times now his platform is as over
Overtly racial as one can possibly get and he's still above a 50 50% approval rating and several southern and interior mountain states still That that needs to be a wake-up call for us Insane all right There is a provocative but historically recognizable way to describe
The economic structure of predominantly black neighborhoods in Milwaukee, more specifically on the north side.
The people live there.
The people work.
The people earn money.
The people spend money, but comparatively little of that land, housing, commercial property, business, or appreciating capital is owned by people who live there.
When you think about it, black people, our home ownership rate is 27%.
73% of black people are renting.
We are sharecropping real estate.
And if your rent goes up and your wages don't, you can very easily go into debt or remain deep in the throes of poverty just to live.
There's no extras.
There's no vacation money.
There's no money you're putting away for a rainy day.
But for some reason we have this weird, not all black people.
Let me be clear.
Some of y'all know money very, very well.
We look at money in terms of income.
How much money do you make?
Oh, I make a hundred thousand.
Oh, I make a hundred and twenty thousand and we think that's the pinnacle We think that we've made it but if you make a hundred thousand dollars a year which I suppose for a single person with no kids That's a decent salary.
You can be okay with that But if you got a fifteen hundred dollar a month car payment, you're paying thirty five hundred dollars a month for rent You're still living check to check it is not about how much money you make because we think if we make a bunch of money We can floss we can act a fool
We can brag.
You know what?
I hate seeing people.
They got a big stack of cash and they hold it up to their ear like it's a telephone and they brag and they got a big stack of cash.
When I see people with big stack of cash, I think to myself, I hope you get robbed because that will teach you not to walk around with cash because real money, real people with real money, they don't have cash.
They got bank statements.
Ask that same person what a stack of cash to show you their quarterly 401k statement.
I bet today ain't got one.
It's not about your income.
It's about how much money you have that you don't have to touch If some people making $30,000 a year But have $490,000 in an account earning interest where they're okay making $30,000 a year Oh, and by the way, their house is paid for their cars paid for now that might be driving in 2002 Honda Civic.
That's the thing about white folks.
They don't care about cars like that
They will drive that Honda Accord Until the wheels fall off they have a no damn car payment because cars don't appreciate in value Some of the richest people that I've known have driven some of the most raggedy cars ever But it's also a good smoke screen some of the richest people I've ever known dressed like bums Or it looks like they do they're just wearing some jeans and a t-shirt a t-shirt is $700 though and they have 12 of them Like dang
What kind of cars that you driving?
Oh this right here Sherwin.
Oh this this is my old reliable.
No, it gets me from A to B You already know when they say something like that.
Oh, yeah, just this is my you know, it's just a vehicle It's not that big of a deal.
This is a pre-civil war.
This is a slavery Honda.
I I Got a 1559 Honda carriage.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, no, they're very reliable
If you look, it still smells like Civil War in it.
Yep.
Yeah, I'm not gonna replace this till the wheels fall off of it.
How many miles does it have on 30 billion?
Oh, yeah, no.
We used to take summer vacations to the sun.
We drove to the moon last month to go visit my in-laws.
But not us.
We get us look at me when I first got out of college.
I'm buying me a new car pay $571 a month not knowing that I was getting ripped off by Nissan and ended up being in a class action lawsuit And let me tell you how Nissan settled the class action lawsuit where they essentially admitted without admitting that they allowed dealerships to charge Black and Hispanic borrowers hired service fees and finance fees.
Here's how they settled the lawsuit by offering
black customers, low interest financing on the next Nissan that they buy.
That's how they settled it.
So I get this card in the mail saying I was a member of the class because I was automatically entered into the class.
Like, oh, here, we'll give you low interest financing when you come back and buy your next Nissan from rows and rows and rows.
And I said, no, thank you, no, thank you, no, thank you.
I got a Land Rover after that.
That was another one.
You couldn't tell me nothing when I was in that Land Rover.
When I had that Land Rover I would I go pick the daughter up one night and next I pick up the mama Couldn't you couldn't tell me nothing when I had that Land Rover black with the tan interior I come up the street.
Oh, no Here comes Sherwin He picked my grandmother up last night darn it.

Don't let
this fool you this is some AI slop Forget flags armies and governors for a moment from an economic standpoint colonial systems frequently operated according to a simple arrangement
resource extraction, external ownership, and wealth leaves.
The colony supplied labor, consumers, land, or raw materials.
Outside owners control much of the productive capital.
The local population participated in the economy, but captured a small portion of the accumulated wealth.
That distinction between participating in an economy and owning an economy is critical.
A worker receives wages, a consumer buys products, a renter purchases housing services, but an owner can accumulate equity, appreciation, profits, and an asset that can be transferred to the next generation.
That brings us to Milwaukee.
Zip Code 53206 makes the analogy unusually easy to understand, so I'm trying to illustrate.
that the north side of the city of Milwaukee is essentially a colony in which black people are there to provide resources, their money and their income to other interests that are oftentimes not black and that is how the money leaves our community.
The other thing is if you inject income into the black community, somebody else is going to get it back.
Just like if we got reparations and I don't know what the reparations check is going to be, is it 20,000?
Is it 200,000?
Think about who we would give the money to think about what we would buy.
Think about what communities would receive all of our reparations.
So any money that you inject into the black community and it could be like social service resource.
Somebody is getting that money and somebody is going to get rich and it's not us.
Consider five three two zero six one of Milwaukee's overwhelmingly black zip codes.
Current 2020 through 2024 American Community Survey put this population at about 19,900 people.
And the average household income, this is the household, is $29,336 per capita income is roughly $19,986.
and approximately 40.5% of residents in 53206 live below the poverty line.
So the poverty line is extreme poverty.
You could be 50% above, 75% above, even 100% above the federal poverty line for a family of four and you still are not making it.
So the fact that 40.5% live below it is
It's just about as bad as you can possibly get.
So the household income on average in five, three, two, zero, six is less than 30 grand a year, 29,336 dollars.
Well, let's compare that to Milwaukee overall.
What do you think the average income in the city of Milwaukee is?
Now, this is not an expensive city.
I know our taxes have gone up.
Know the cost of living is gone up, but compare Milwaukee to a New York and LA of Miami or even a Chicago It's a lot cheaper a lot less expensive, right?
Milwaukee average income 54,234 dollars 5306 average income 29,000
$336 the average income of a Milwaukee and outside of 5 3 2 0 6 is $30,000 more a year.
You would think just move out of that zip code and automatically your money's gonna go up.
It's $78,218 for the Milwaukee Walker Shaw metro area.
Average household income so in 5 3 2 0 6 is $29,336.
Average income for a Wisconsin family is $77,485.
Average income nationally, almost $81,000 a year.
In other words, the typical 53206 household is operating at roughly $0.37 for every dollar of average household income in the surrounding area.
$0.37 on the dollar is what you are making compared to someone who lives seven miles away.
There are approximately 7,572 occupied housing units and 53206.
68% are rented, so 32% are owned.
So 5,131 or 67.8% of those housing units or rents are occupied.
32.2% are owner occupied.
And remember that the home ownership rate for the zip code, not specifically the black home ownership rate writ large.
Across the metropolitan area, the black home ownership rate is only 27.5%.
The African-American leadership milk African-American Alliance Index whatever that is ranked Milwaukee 49th out of 50th when it comes to black home ownership That's not good.
I wonder who's worse
Think of two families paying $1,000 every month for housing.
Family A owns its house.
Some portion of its payment eventually becomes home equity.
The house can appreciate.
The family can potentially borrow against the value of their home.
Eventually, the mortgage disappears.
The house can be passed to the children.
Family B rents.
The family receives something valuable, housing, but its rent primarily becomes revenue for the property owner.
After 20 years, family B that rents
may have spent $200,000 on housing without acquiring any real estate whatsoever.
That doesn't make the landlord inherently exploitative, but it illustrates the difference between consumption and accumulation.
Black Milwaukeeans today
are obviously not literal sharecroppers.
Historically, sharecropping emerged after slavery and involved agricultural laborers working land they did not own.
However, the economic resemblance to 53206 in 2026, the resemblance is worth discussing.
The sharecroppers fundamental problem was, quote, I work, but I don't own the product asset.
For many poor households, the problem becomes I work, but I don't own many appreciating assets.
The paycheck comes in, then rent takes some, utility takes some, transportation takes some, food takes some, debt takes some, insurance takes some, retail takes some, and the household starts the next month all over again.
The person may be working continuously while accumulating very little capital.
That is the modern parallel, not forced agricultural labor, but labor without any kind of ownership.
We essentially are living on a sharecropping colony.
Imagine Black Milwaukee as a bucket.
There's a hole in the bucket, dear Eliza.
Every payday water gets poured into the bucket.
The water represents wages, social security, government benefits, pensions, tax refunds, and other income.
How much water enters the bucket is not the important question, but how many holes are in the bucket and who owns the pipes attached to the holes?
If residents pay rents or property owners outside the neighborhood money leaves Household balance sheets if they shop at corporations headquartered elsewhere Profits ultimately flow outside of the neighborhood.
I feel bad cuz I bought these pants.
I'm wearing that colds.
I thought colds was inexpensive Colds cost a lot of money
Somebody lied to me I Went to the Coles I shouldn't even admit this but where else can't where can you get clothes owned by black people do black people own clothing store?
Yes of stuff that I want to buy though.
I don't want no ripped jeans with graffiti on a booty I want a graffiti booty jeans.
I'm 51 years old.
I can't work graffiti booty.
Yeah, go right down the street to unfinished legacy Actually, my friend owns it.
I don't wanna shop where you shop.
How the hell I look?
I can't stand when old people look young.
Try to dress, be 50 years old.
Got arthritis and over here wearing a brand new Jordans.
You're too old, sir.
Even though Jordans are our generation.
You're never too old for Jordans.
Look who we got in studio today
Those are good walking shoes
Because said you had more thoughts if you were if you had Jordans on
I'm just gonna wear slippers.
It's where some house shoes oh Cuz then I'll be mr. Hughes mr. Hughes Where where are your shoes shut up?
I'm in a wheelchair wearing a bib
And if neighborhood businesses are owned by people who reside elsewhere, some portion of the profits similarly leave.
Money entering a neighborhood is not the same thing as wealth remaining in the neighborhood.
The Chinese restaurant, Middle Eastern gas station and Mexican food truck examples is one of the many analogies that harms black economics.
I'm gonna take a break, come back.
We're over here living on a colony.
Texas Roadhouse had to come up with an official statement denouncing that people are spitting in black people's food in 2011 the Obama administration had to sue the city of New Berlin because they didn't want an affordable housing complex built in their neighborhood the mayor of New Berlin didn't run for reelection because he got death threats they threatened him they slashed his tires they threatened his children
because he supported affordable housing in New Berlin, New Berlin residents didn't want black people moving into the neighborhoods so they threatened the mayor because of his support.
For the damn affordable housing project.
And then you have the current mayor of New Berlin posting anti black anti Muslim sentiments.
on his public Facebook page.
I'm giving you all of this information to show the racism is alive and well, and we choose to ignore it or we are shocked when they tell us how they actually feel about us.
On Friday, the Brewers had a black cultural exhibition showcasing the impact and the importance of African Americans, not just on Major League Baseball, but on culture as a whole.
And the comment section was full of every single racial.
racist and racial epithets you could ever think of.
And the black people are in the comments saying, why are you saying this about us?
Why are you so mean?
It's amazing that we are still shocked when we find out they're speaking their truth about how they feel about us.
You go to a restaurant.
You're wondering why nobody is coming to greet you.
You're wondering why nobody is seating you.
You're just standing there.
You're standing there because the servers are arguing because they don't want us in their section.
But what do we do?
We go to the damn restaurant, do a food review and give everybody a 10 out of 10.
Oh, I'd come here again.
Not knowing they're probably spitting your food.
And then we want to split the check 13 ways.
I'm not telling y'all to change anything that you do.
I'm just telling you to be aware.
They really don't like us very much.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be
right back.
You are listening to the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth comm
Yeah, it's cuffing season now Got any prospects
lady be sure to cuff.
I'm cool.
I'm straight.
I don't Y'all think it's funny like my safety is in jeopardy when I leave the house.
You know where I spend my time
Where bullets and black fists can't reach I'm on the water I'm I was on the boat all weekend day.
It's so peaceful.
It's just water a lot of whites But they see you out on the water they just be waving that shit thumbing
up you can swim No, so you're on a boat and you can't swim.
You don't got a life jacket
Not
So you can't even doggy paddle.
That's insane.
They got a really nice harbor there.
But sometimes when you get a little chop.
And the boat is very fast.
So I don't know, we'll be going 40 or 50 miles an hour on water.
It's like going 100 miles an hour on land.
It is insanely fast.
And so every night again, they'll be, they'll be like a little wave.
And if you're going 50 miles an hour and you hit that wave, bop, you fly up in there and you come back down and you hit another wave, bop, and you come back down, there's another wave crest, bop, like you're kind of, you're flying up out the boat.
And if I'm not hanging on to something, I'll be in Lake Michigan and I'm done for.
But I just hope that I don't fall out the boat.
I ain't falling out the boat yet, plus I'd rather be out on the water.
I post my pictures on...
Snapchat I post or I post them on my Twitter.
Follow me on the Twitter.
I post them on my Instagram.
So y'all be on land fighting and shooting.
I don't hear a single gunshot on the water.
None.
I'm just out there riding around.
Having me a beverage.
Sometimes I drive the boat.
Sometimes I'm a passenger in the boat.
I'm not.
It's too much trouble on land.
I spent my summer on water.
I don't need to be where y'all is that?
Throwing punches and can jump by YNs.
Are you reckless drivers?
No, thank you.
I don't want to have nothing to do with that.
I like seclusion.
That's why I'm not going to tell y'all where I go.
I will recommend great places.
Absolutely I will.
I want you guys to go and have a good time and explore Milwaukee.
but do so with a little bit of caution, of course.
But typically the places that I recommend are safe, but don't act a fool, please.
Act like you got a little bit of sense, like you got a little taste of some home training because y'all can't be going to these and then you're going to drop my name.
Well, Sherwin told me to come here.
No Sherwin did not.
I didn't tell you to act like that.
Unbelievable.
Texas Roadhouse responds after disturbing post starts making the rounds online.
Texas Roadhouse has officially responded after an anonymous post began circulating online with some very disturbing allegations involving black customers.
The anonymous person claimed that white servers were spitting in the food of black customers and even mentioned a Facebook group called white servers only.
I wonder if, let me tell you what's crazy.
So I'm reading this off of Facebook.

One of the missions of this program is to explain things from a different perspective.
Maybe it's a social perspective.
Maybe it's a political perspective.
Maybe it's cultural.
Maybe sometimes it's racial.
And then it may be the intersectionality of all of those things.
Milwaukee is a very, very fascinating place because it is I'd like to think a city that is versed in the 21st century.
We're a traveling tourism city and we welcome all sorts of people here for a variety of different events, whether it be our ethnic festivals or our big old music festival.
It's a lot of things.
We, of course, have the Milwaukee State Fair while not in the city of Milwaukee proper.
It's in West Alice, which.
is close enough all the offerings the amenities that we have bring a diversity of people here depending upon what kind of sports fan you are we likely have something for you professional soccer team and basketball team and of course a baseball team in the Milwaukee Brewers and so when I saw that the Brewers were having a black culture exhibition
on Friday at the American family field ahead of the brewers game.
I braced myself and I braced myself form the promotion of that event via social media and then the comments that people would leave.
And as you could imagine, the comments that people would leave and giving their thoughts on the black culture.
Fest that took place at Miller, not Miller Park.
It's American Family Field.
I got to get used to it.
What can I say?
I remember when it was County Stadium.
I'll get it right one of these days.
It was going to be an exhibition of black culture, creativity, and the lasting impact of black excellence on baseball and beyond.
And when I saw that, that is what it was being promoted as and billed as.
I was like, these comments are going to be.
Absolutely dreadful.
Baseball was not nearly the first sport to integrate, ladies and gentlemen.
So there is a streak of separation that existed in major league baseball.
Of course, you had the Negro leagues and think about that for a second.
Why would you need a whole separate league of baseball players if that sport didn't have a rich, rooted history in racism?
It does.
And just remember.
If something had a history and racism and still lives on to this day, the problem is we don't recognize it.
And I'm going to give you a bunch of examples today.
I'm going to take this entire show and we're going to talk about race from a different perspective because usually I talk about race from a perspective so that white people can get a better understanding of some of their microaggressions and how their microaggressions and these little things that they say and these little things that they do can lead to.
macro behaviors.
And so I've always tried to shed light because some people don't realize that things are racist because it's just been a part of their upbringing and their background and their developmental environment.
Like, oh, I thought that all black people acted this way.
And so I try to bring different perspectives.
Oftentimes it falls on deaf ears because the people that want to be more culturally versed can find ways to be more culturally versed.
There are some people.
that don't believe some of the generalizations and the stereotypes that they hear about other races and they may actually seek out things that defy those stereotypes and those generalizations, not necessarily for those people because they can find the answers and they can find the truth on their own, but it's for other folks who may pride themselves on, oh, I have black friends.
But still believe some really horrible and awful things about black people So I spent a disproportionate amount of time not even trying to change him But anyone's mind but just showing them the ignorance in some of their ways But also the harm that they may have done sometimes intentionally sometimes inadvertently because of the primitive attitude that they have about race So I spent a lot of time doing that and over the years I suppose we've had varying degrees of success with those conversations But never once did I ever think for a moment that when I have these conversations about
race that I need to be explaining it to black people because we live in a damn bubble.
We seem to think because they aren't.
Throwing the n word around as much as they want to.
We believe that because now in 2026 we absolutely.
can go more places than we could say a generation or two ago, especially in other regions of the country where black people were strictly prohibited.
We believe as black people, this is the bubble that we live in and I am so hurt by this because I thought we knew and if we don't know that our kids don't know.
Our kids don't even know the kind of racist world that they are going to inherit because damn parents and the grandparents thing because the colors only signs and the whites only signs came down and because the schools were integrated and now you can get a drink of water at anybody's water fountain not just the blacks only water fountain we think that racism went away and every now and again when when they show you
They really think about us we get so hurt by I couldn't believe some of the comments not from the white people when they were Advertising the black culture fest because the worst place to have a black culture fest if there's gonna be a professional sporting event is at a major league baseball game I Haven't been to very many professional baseball games.
I've been to none in other cities even though I've been to
football games in other cities.
I might have even seen professional hockey in other cities.
I've never seen a major league baseball game in another city.
And I've probably gone to less than 20 here in the city of Milwaukee.
There's always been a feeling of discomfort and unease when I went to County Stadium.
I didn't go to County Stadium for the first time to see a board game, so I was 21 years old.
Didn't go.
No interest no desire baseball is not It's not culturally welcoming even worse.
So the fans When they had the discussion on where to rebuild the new baseball stadium It was a big political discussion and even a member of the Wisconsin State Senate got recalled because they were thinking about moving What was then called Miller Park to a different location?
You ever wonder why it is where it is?
You ever wonder why any other major city?
You have your casino you have your basketball arena and you have your Baseball Stadium all downtown They're all in the same little area because that's where you want to concentrate the travel in the tourism dollars, but if you look at where our Baseball Park is and so when they tore down County Stadium they had to figure out real quick Otherwise, we're gonna lose the Milwaukee Brewers and I believe that we need to keep professional sports teams here because they do generate a tremendous amount of tax revenue they do
All of the players from the other teams, including the Milwaukee Brewers, when they play here, their income per game is taxed.
We get that money here in the state of Wisconsin.
It becomes a part of our state budget.
All of the concessions that are sold, all of the employees of the baseball stadium that keep it running, that do all the HVAC and do all of the maintenance and do all of the cleaning and all of the food vendors, those are all really good.
Economic actions that we want to keep you don't ever want to lose a professional sports team.
Don't believe me ask New Jersey when they lost the net They immediately felt that hole in their economy.
I want to lose a professional sports team now But one of the compromises was because we had torn down 145 so 145 was the freeway that essentially When it was torn down it revealed the land in which five sir forum was now built and so when they were considering this is back in the late mid 1990s
where they were going to build the new baseball stadium.
A bunch of people said, well, we have all of this land open up downtown because we had a big old hole in the middle of downtown when they tore down 145.
They didn't start building the five serve form until probably 2016, 2015 or 2016 is when they started building the Bucks Arena.
That land has sat vacant for 15 years.
There's a reason why that land sat vacant for 15 years.
Because there were specific requirements for any developer if you wanted to build something on the most precious, most valuable land in the entire state of Wisconsin.
That was valuable real estate.
Think about where the deer district is.
That was all vacant.
Literally nothing was there when they tore the freeway down.
But Milwaukee County that own that land said anyone who develops this land you're gonna have to have 40 or 50 percent minority Contractors of minority construction firms and women owned businesses and for 15 years developers said no thanks We don't want to hire that many black people even though the real estate is valuable, but eventually Herb Cole said I'll split the bill with you
with these New York billionaire fellas that came in and bought the Milwaukee Bucks and also helped build the five serve form make no mistake about it.
We paid for half of that, too.
However, I digress.
They could have built the baseball stadium right there.
But here's what season ticket holders said.
Season ticket.
Milwaukee Brewers.
This is what they said.
Don't you dare build that damn new stadium in the middle of downtown Milwaukee or we will.
not renew our season tickets.
I don't know what the statistic is now, but at the time, 60% of season ticket holders lived outside of the city of Milwaukee, mostly from all points west, like Waukesha area.
Those were the season ticket holders.
And they said, if you build that arena or that new baseball park, because we had to rebuild what was then Miller Park in order for the Brewers to stay because every now and again, you've got to upgrade your stadiums or the league.
Will take your team and make it for sale though Let other teams and other cities been on if you want if you don't want to build a new a new state I mean, it's always a big Political fiasco because where's the money gonna come from and other taxpayers gonna pay for it in my opinion It's always a good investment for the taxpayers to invest in having a sports team in your city because it brings Tremendous amounts of revenue for many many decades
But the season ticket holder said you're gonna build it exactly where County Stadium was and then the urban planners like no, no We want to bring more economic activity downtown.
Let's just do a freeze frame real quick Look at how much economic activity has poured into downtown and walking the last 30 years.
I don't know damn condos There was no Riverwalk 30 years ago.
Nobody lived downtown 30 years ago It was a bunch of old dilapidated factory buildings now look at it condos housing shop stores the third Ward didn't even really exist the third Ward used to be a bunch of places were
the Italians bought their groceries.
Now look at it.
It's a destination, right?
So a lot of money, a lot of investment was pouring into downtown.
But this idea of putting downtown in the spotlight that it's in right now goes back 30 or 40 years.
In fact, this goes back to when Mayor John Norquist was mayor of the city of Milwaukee.
He was like, we need to build up downtown in order for Milwaukee to be successful.
Lo and behold, he was right.
Somewhat.
And so when we're considering what to put.
in that vacant area that is now the dear district, obviously building the baseball stadium makes good sense.
But the season ticket holder said, we don't want to drive through the black neighborhoods to go watch our beloved brewers.
You will build the stadium on the outskirts so we can just hop right on 94, go to our baseball game, hop right on 94, head back west and go home.
And that's exactly what they did.
So I want you to keep that in mind.
I'm going to give you these details of the.
When I say racist comments that really is an understatement, but I'm not shocked that when you advertise a black culture fest at American Family Field ahead of one of the Baseball games, I'm not shocked that white people would leave racist comments It's what they do, but it's how black people were so hurt and so shocked that white people think this way about us.
I'm thinking myself
What bubble do you live in?
You know what I think it might be?
I think that black people believe now more than ever that.
There were the vocal ones on racism that we call out white people all the time when they say something racist, when they do something racist, don't let them use the n-word, we're gonna have them cancel, or we can act in any old way when we as black people are out in public and dare a white person to say anything about us or anything to us because of how we act because we can shut them down by calling them racist, so here's what happens.
White people really don't say anything.
They use microaggressions they may roll their eyes that may stay quiet all together and so when we don't hear them vocally expressing how much I mean they hate our guts y'all they hate us even the ones that pretend to like us and the fact that y'all don't know this blows my mind and we as black people are putting ourselves in places and in spaces where we think we are safe because the people are reasonably nice to us.
Oh No, no, no, no
They hate us, but the number of black people that were in the comments thing.
Well, but I was the first black person to graduate from my high school, but I'm a black person and I have a
well, I'm going to screenshot these and send this to your employer.
I haven't had one.
I'm going to read some of the comments when I come back from my break.
One lady even said, oh, God, what did she say?
I'm going to send this to their pastor and their pastor is not going to like all these racist comments.
Do you want?
Sundays is the most segregated damn day of the week.
I did not know that we as black people would respond in such an emotional way to white people expressing how they actually feel about us.
I thought that we knew and the fact that we don't know means that we are not telling the generation behind us of what they are prepared for.
Look at the disparities in the criminal justice system.
Look at the disparities in racial profiling.
Look what happens when we send our kids to schools in which they control the school board and the curriculum.
What happens?
The black kids can't read.
I'll do you one better.
92% of the suspensions and the expulsions of NPS are black kids, but black kids are less than 50% of the student body.
If that does not tell you alone how they feel about us, why would you all be shocked at the comments?
to decipher this feel hopefully our YouTube is back up we were having a couple of few technical difficulties Xavier says no is that what the phone calls have been Xavier
yeah they're calling about the YouTube YouTube is all messed up right now oh Nelly yeah so someone else someone's working on it right now
you guys are gonna have to go to one oh one seven the truth comm and stream my voice the old-fashioned way or oh no don't forget about the radio go sit in the car
Go sit in the car put on one on one point seven or we even have am signal to if you're feeling fancy It's 15 10 a.m.
We're hopefully gonna get the YouTube back up and take a break when I come back.
I'm gonna read some of the comments that the The more fair skinned folks Left on this flyer this advertisement for black culture fests that took place at American Family Field and the number of black people
Why would you say such racist things about us?
I'm a black person and I'm smart like trying to
Don't touch that dial.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back on 1017 The Truth, The Truth App and 1017TheTruth.com.
You are listening to The Truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 The Truth, The Truth App and 1017TheTruth.com.
On Friday, they had a black culture fest at American Family Field ahead of one of the Brewer's games and every so often they'll do something dedicated to the legacy of African-Americans and our contributions to Major League Baseball.
Please keep in mind the Major League Baseball was not the first sport to integrate.
It was actually the NFL and the last sport, professional sport to integrate was basketball.
1950 1951 and here's what's crazy in the early 1950s when they finally integrated the NBA which I bet you they wish they wouldn't have I Bet they wish they would have kept the NBA all white cuz then once we came into the league.
Oh, no How are these black scoring 17,000 points?
They were recruiting Black NBA players from the damn Harlem Globetrotters in a while because where else are you gonna get them from and then you know
Fast forward a couple of decades arguably some of the absolute best people that have ever laid hands on a basketball have been It's been a couple Serbians.
There's been a couple It's been there's been a Chinese or two.
There's Yao Meng remember him.
He was he was Chinese very very tall We had a guy from Australia the Bucks did Andrew Bogat remember him
But then you know, it's been mostly dominated by black African Americans But the racism that exists, I don't even know if it's in the league.
It's interesting because I went to a NASCAR race in 2024 NASCAR has banned the Confederate flag and you know, they tried to be a little bit more Sensitive and progressive with the times.
It's not
It usually isn't the corporate offices.
It's not what we call big NASCAR It's not the the big major league baseball.
They're not racist because they hit their heads against the wall to try and figure out how they're gonna get more black Consumers and how do they get more black fans when I went to that NASCAR race in Las Vegas?
I promise you 50% of all of the pit crews and the pit bosses and the people that were there like having like real jobs with these NASCAR teams were black
I was blown away.
Big NASCAR wants a black audience.
They do because we are an up and coming minority group and black people are making more money.
We have more income.
And of course, big corporations, including sports, they want black folks to buy tickets and to attend events.
It's the damn fans.
Every time I go to a baseball game and there hasn't been many because I just I don't feel comfortable.
When one on one seven, the truth did.
They did something featuring black people.
Maybe it was a Negro League weekend or one of those things and they had Different hosts from one on one seven the truth do that They do these games where they invite somebody out of the crowd to answer questions and they win a bunch of prizes Tori did it and then I did that was the most nervous I'd ever been in my entire life.
First of all, it's overwhelming.
It was 40 some thousand people there that was
The first part but the second part was I knew that I wasn't welcome there I just I've never felt comfortable there because baseball fans They're like working-class white people which I don't know if you guys know this those are the most racist people you're ever gonna find because they believe that they're they're
economic situation is directly tied to other races taking their jobs.
It's the working class white people that say, oh, this DEI and affirmative action, you know, black people going to college for free.
That's harming me and my family, even though it has nothing to do with it.
Now, is there more competition for good paying jobs?
Absolutely there is.
But they, the working class whites, who've always had a level of insecurity when it comes to their jobs, because they can get downsized or they can get automated.
Or they can get AI'd out of their job.
They've always been very insecure.
But when you have a white person in the United States of America that is insecure, here's what you can do to manipulate them forever.
Blame a black person or blame a Mexican for why everything is messed up in their world.
And they'll eat it.
And it's political too.
I can have a whole political party and tell you how bad black people are and how bad immigrants are and how bad Mexicans are.
And I will make the a whole bunch of voters hate those groups.
Hate them.
hate them, want to kill them.
Don't want them in this country.
And you can get votes based upon how much you hate those other racial and ethnic groups by a bunch of working class white folks who've always felt insecure about their job.
The insecurity about the working class white and their job and their opportunities goes back to slavery.
And you just think about how slavery was not in the best economic interest of poor white folk.
You ever think about that for a second?
You know all white people didn't own slaves, right?
Like one or two percent hardly anybody on slave the same one percent is right now You know the billionaires that y'all hate basically though that was the same class of people that owned the slaves
Every white person didn't almost lay the white people were too poor in the rural southern Let me tell you why white people were poor while they were kept poor why they were kept economically deprived because if you're economically deprived You're vulnerable and if you're vulnerable you'll fall for anything and if you're economically deprived and you're vulnerable Chances are you're probably not highly educated and you can manipulate those people If you or a plantation owner and you had the ability
to permanently purchase your labor in enslaved people.
Let's say you had a big old plantation.
You had rice, you had the big three.
Rice, tobacco and cotton.
Fourth would probably be sugarcane, but sugarcane was more of the agricultural mainstay in the Caribbean.
By the way, sugarcane plantations
Unbelievably brutal probably some of the very labor-intensive cotton is labor-intensive too, but not like sugarcane sugarcane is very labor-intensive.
Hey, but I was mostly in the Caribbean So if you had a big old plantation and you had the big three cotton tobacco and rice and you had a hundred and ninety five enslaved people Taking care of a thousand acres of rice tobacco and cotton
And then you had your servants that were in the house that took care of all the domestic doodles.
Okay, think about this.
You own your slaves and they take care of everything.
You're not hiring white people.
You're not hiring them.
You don't need to.
Why would you pay a white person a wage when you can buy a black person and work them for until they die?
So white people
were deprived economically because of the institution of slavery.
Now what you would do is you would hire a handful of white people to be plantation overseers, etc, etc.
But trust me when I tell you if a plantation had 195 slaves, maybe they hire 20 white people to be overseers.
If that because those slaves took
Jobs from what would be working-class white Southerners and that is why the South remains so poor black people couldn't own anything We weren't making any wages so our poverty was fixed in the institution But white people were impoverished too and then it's crazy because the same plantation owners told those white folks who could not get any kind of work or any kind of jobs in those southern agricultural
plantations to go and fight the civil war on behalf of the plantation owners right to continue to buy, sell, trade and own black people.
That is insane.
Enter Donald Trump.
He's doing the exact same thing for the modern era.
It is also why the Democratic Socialists don't see why we as African Americans don't.
subscribe to their philosophy because they the democratic socialists who do not have a platform for race they do not they'll have more of a platform for the gays and the queers oh by the way the alphabet is breaking up I don't know if you guys know this but the gays and the lesbians are now starting to separate themselves from the asexuals the intersex people and the trans people because those folks on the other end of the alphabet are identities a lesbian woman is still a woman she just likes other lesbians
A gay man, his identity is not necessarily as a gay man.
He just likes other gay men.
And so when you have that alphabet that's combined, the old school gays and the old school lesbians, like, yo, no, we're not with all this trans stuff.
Really fascinating social experiments that are taking place in this country right now.
But that's just like people of color.
Or when people say BIPOC, don't say BIPOC in front of me.
I'll punch you in the face.
Black indigenous people of color don't don't don't please don't do that.
Don't make it seem like all of our issues are the same You know some BIPOC people hate each other Do you know there's some people that are included in and the white people came up with this?
Or some super black liberal.
Let's call everybody BIPOC Let's lump everybody together like all of our interests are the same There are some people in the BIPOC coalition and the people of color coalition that are more racist than white people are
You think black people routinely organize and work with Mexicans?
No, we don't You think a South Korean Professor at the University of Wisconsin Madison has anything in common with a black woman who lives in 5 3 2 0 6 who's got four kids and no dad I'm just saying you can't stop loving us all together.
I was gonna read some of these comments that were left on the
What's this damn thing called?
Multicultural night The YouTube is up so if you guys want to head on over there.

It was very expensive, but I loved
with Sherwin Hughes will be right back.
Black culture fest on Friday at American Family Field ahead of one of the brewers games or maybe during the burger game.
I didn't go to.
And then they were promoting this event very innocently on social media, but they left the comments section open.
And as you would imagine, some of the comments were very ignorant, very racist.
Very stereotypical about black people and that doesn't shock me because that is exactly what they are supposed to do That is my expectation of them and they always meet and quite honestly they exceed That expectation what I didn't expect was for the number of black people to to try and reason with a racist and the number of black people that That shared this flyer where all of these racist comments were
Were posted in like utter disbelief like I can't believe they feel this way Everybody look at the comments.
Everybody read this.
Why is that a shock to anybody?
Do you understand that we live on their colony?
I'm gonna get into some details about that as well.
Once I explain it's gonna make a lot of sense to you Ladies gentlemen, they hate our guts and I think that we we thought that we had more friends We thought that we had more allies because we saw how many of them
March when George Floyd got killed I bet you don't wear black lives matters t-shirts no more I bet you don't have the yard signs in their front yard no more in fact they probably replaced some of those black lives matters yard sign with a Tom Tiffany yard sign you don't have businesses displaying the black lives matter
placards in the windows anymore.
What happens is whenever there is racial or civil unrest, they want to make it seem like they're actually allied because the whole thing with racism now is you got to be covert.
They don't want you to know.
They want you to think that that they like us.
And what do we do?
We're so stupid.
Invite them to the barbecue.
Y'all invited white folks to the barbecue is like I'm gonna extend the olive branch and they accept it Oh, they love being around us so they can learn Everything there is to know and learn our secrets and learn how we operate because here's one thing they can't figure out because they've tried everything to stop our success Everything and I would say to some extent it's working pretty good Two out of three times Donald Trump rain he got elected they're doing something right still
They can't figure out how they have thrown everything including terror including making it harder for us to vote Including underfunding and under educating our kids and they're just so battle How are some of us becoming successful?
So they love coming to the barbecue and we think because they accept the invitation that they're not racist Y'all have any idea how they talk about us and this is the unfortunate thing when you grow up in Milwaukee and you grew up in black Milwaukee and you didn't really interact
with a lot of white people.
If you grew up in segregated Milwaukee, you didn't go to a majority white school.
You didn't have a lot of white friends growing up.
You have literally no idea.
No clue how much they hate us.
One of the best things about me going to school in Brown Deer is I saw how they live.
I see how they talk.
I see what they discuss when they sit down and have dinner with one another.
They hate our guts.
We are on their minds constantly.
They have to make sure that they are defeating us and outmaneuvering us because they're very embarrassed when we're successful, especially if they're not.
And so what do we do?
We think we got a whole bunch of white friends invited to the day in barbecue and all they're doing is taking notes on how they can continue to harm us.
Let's talk to Derek here on one on one seven.
The truth.
How are you, Derek?
I'm doing well, Sharon.
I mean, you brought something up really good as far as the baseballs, the teams and everything else like that.
But I was thinking about, I was thinking about when they left Oakland and they went to Las Vegas and also the one that the basketball, the basketball and the football teams used to be and the outskirts of Detroit and now they're downtown.
And that's helped that downtown tremendously.
And I think they were having the same issue, they were having the same issue in Washington, D.C.
And now they're bringing the basketball, the baseball, I mean, not the basketball, the football team downtown to Washington, D.C.
But you're right.
I mean, a lot of times people that's, I do remember hearing about that, about the...
What was that where they were going to locate the baseball stadiums and you probably are right about people being afraid because they Most lot of the your inner city.
They're predominantly black and they associate a lot of crime with a lot of black people Are you so there?
Yeah, but I would say I was thinking about some of those cities
uh, that they're, uh, they're doing it.
And even, uh, I was, I only think it comes, I, I could think kind of close.
Be the one in the land to Georgia where they had the, those stadiums
Yeah, they're talking about the one in Atlanta, Georgia, where they, uh, they did the same thing that you guys did in, um, um, Milwaukee.
They said there was too much crime in the inner city, and so they moved out to Cobb County, the baseball stadiums.
It's any more convenient for a lot of the people and everything else like that, but they're saying, hey, we're at least we'll be safe and everything.
that
us,
Yeah, but like I said, you are...
But a lot of times, you know, some things need to be down kind of like the bat, like the basketball.
And probably the only other thing I can think of that would be the football when they moved the L.A.
Rams from St.
Louis.
And they moved it to Englewood.
But sure, somebody was saying to me.
actually an
large
So actually locating a large sports arena to an impoverished black neighborhood or a black community can turn it around right away or it can invite gentrification.
But we appreciate your call, Derek.
I got to take a break now.
Thank you, sir.
It's curious.
All right then.
All right there.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017, and
we'll be right back.

Think some of these adults need to enroll in Milwaukee college prep.
I need to get some of your education up.
Why black people are so shocked.
The veneer is almost flawless Because they'll invite you to stuff want to hang out with you Want to do happy hour with you and hate your guts they'll talk to you get to know you Ask you about your family Maybe you drink a little bit too much at the happy hour and reveal something personal next thing you know
You're talking to HR because here's the other thing you got to watch out for.
It's always economic competition with them.
You better hope they don't have a sister or a brother or a sister-in-law or a mother-in-law or a father-in-law that is looking for a job and the person in their family that is looking for a job does exactly what you do.
They'll set you up to get fired.
It's not personal.
It's just, you know, a member of their family comes first.
Their neighbor just fell on hard times and their neighbor happens to have a real nice resume that might be a little bit less polished than yours, but you know It'd be a good fit for the position because you know they fit better into the corporate culture We thought that we had a bunch of allies and we don't that is why it's very difficult for African Americans that know this So want to be ally with Democratic Socialists because expecting us to integrate
with working-class white people, when all of this dirty history has not been resolved, is insane.
It's insane.
Now, what they do, though, is they look at black people and say, oh, you guys are poor, too.
You guys are struggling, too.
Come and join our movement now.
We're gonna go first.
We're gonna lead the movement We're gonna set the agenda the agenda is not gonna take into account race But no no come and come and join us because you know working class white people need as many people in their agendas They can possibly get that is how they can win elections and if you can win elections by praying on the vulnerability of black folks All you got to do is tell black folks, you know you blacks
really poor too you know you blacks your wages are way too low you know you blacks are not being treated fairly by your employer as well you should be getting a raise you know you blacks are making minimum wage as well and what do we say as black folks yeah that's right that's true all that is true all the above is true but what they don't take into account is that why some of us and I'm gonna say some because some black folks are doing fantastic some black folks are doing better than the whites
But one of the reasons why some black people black people may be in an economically disadvantaged position is because they are black That can be a reason Democratic socialists can't take that into account because that is a white movement led by white people Who weren't given what they were promised by previous generations see the baby boomers lodge them.
They're the wealthiest generation America's ever seen
They got something like a hundred and forty trillion dollars worth of wealth and what they are doing is they are starving their own kids.
And so then you have a political movement that exists to rebel against the status quo, which is the largest wealthiest generation that America has ever seen.
And that's the baby boomers.
But that also.
Draws contrast with African-Americans as well because we don't hate our baby boomer generation Those are the ones that got us the rights that we right now were taking for granted so you can also our baby boomers ain't got no hell of a lot of money White baby boomers do black baby boomers got a little they got a little taste of money got a little itty-bitty peace They got a little they ain't got as much as the white folks do So they're trying to start this intergenerational war where it's bunch of white kids that are mad at their parents
screw you mom and dad.
I want the freaking house right now
Fine mom and dad I'll go recruit a bunch of blacks and we're gonna have a political movement led by an Asian lady in Wisconsin and a Muslim in Michigan
Whoo, we did he serve up a good helping.
Oh, you all were shocked by that too
Where's my story about the New Berlin mayor?
Oh, he let y'all have it and then stood by his comments Quote it was revolting Muslim leader called for New Berlin mayor's resignation over lewd social media posts Let me make this abundantly clear the New Berlin mayor isn't going anywhere New Berlin mayor Dave Amon is under fire after two Muslim organizations
called for his resignation, a following the discovery of anti-Muslim, racist, and sexist content he shared publicly on Facebook.
So the mayor of this town is letting everybody know, hey, here's how I feel.
And I'll be honest with you, I appreciate him doing it.
Let me tell you why.
Cuz I'd rather know before I go to New Berlin for anything now.
Hey Sherwin We're gonna meet up at the sports bar in New Berlin.
Okay.
Have fun not going Because if the mayor feels that way And if he's gonna put it on a public Facebook page and dude said I'm not taking it down I'm gonna get to his comments in just a second.
He was like my public comments Don't mean that I speak on behalf of everyone in New Berlin kind of
Would rather know so here's what'll happen though because some black folks get so hurt by this because we're just astonished that people don't like us We're thinking we're so fun.
We're so funny.
We dance really well.
We sing good watch us perform You know the original drawing of Mickey Mouse was blackface as a mimic of a menstrual show You know that the character goofy look at the old pictures of goofy the old Disney drawings goofy is a shiftless
lazy happy-go-lucky colored man.
Goofy!
Now they changed his image up, you know what I mean?
They made him look more like a dog.
The whole character of Goofy is part of a menstrual theatrical dramatization and caricature of a black stereotype.
It goes that deep and we won't even have no idea.
Walt Disney was incredibly racist.
So was dr. Seuss when I found that out that hurt like they did a whole expose I like some of the racist commentary like the hidden racist messages Oh Dr. Seuss is that and I love dr. Seuss books little did I know I was being slowly taught to hate myself the Muslim Women's Coalition and the Milwaukee or the Wisconsin Muslim Civic Alliance
brought Amon's post was the mayor of New Berlin to light.
The content includes reposts such as, quote, if you voted for a Muslim or elected, for elected office, you're a traitor.
If it weren't for white people, slavery would have never ended and post featuring sexually suggestive content.
Janane G, founder of the Muslim Women's Coalition, said she was shocked when she first saw the post.
I'm going to leave it there, pick it back up for hour two.
The truth was sure when he was to be right back.
Don't touch that dial.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth.com
dollars but if you look at where our baseball park is and so when they tore down county stadium they had to figure out real quick otherwise we're going to lose the Milwaukee Brewers and I believe that we need to keep professional sports teams here because they do generate a tremendous amount of tax revenue.
They do.
All of the players from the other teams including the Milwaukee Brewers when they play here
Their income per game is taxed.
We get that money here in the state of Wisconsin.
It becomes a part of our state budget.
All of the concessions that are sold, all of the employees of the baseball stadium that keep it running, that do all the HVAC and do all of the maintenance and do all of the cleaning and all of the food vendors, those are all really good.
Economic actions that we want to keep you don't ever want to lose a professional sports team Don't believe me ask New Jersey when they lost the net they immediately felt that hole in their economy You don't want to lose a professional sports team now But one of the compromises was because we had torn down 145 so 145 was the freeway that essentially When it was torn down it revealed the land in which five sir forum was now built and so when they were considering this is back in the late mid 1990s
where they were going to build the new baseball stadium.
A bunch of people said, well, we have all of this land open up downtown because we had a big old hole in the middle of downtown when they tore down 145.
They didn't start building the five serve form until probably 2016, 2015 or 2016 is when they started building the Bucks Arena.
That land has sat vacant for 15 years.
There's a reason why that land sat vacant for 15 years.
Because there were specific requirements for any developer if you wanted to build something on the most precious, most valuable land in the entire state of Wisconsin.
That was valuable real estate.
Think about where the deer district is.
That was all vacant.
Literally nothing was there when they tore the freeway down.
But Milwaukee County that own that land said anyone who develops this land you're gonna have to have 40 or 50 percent minority Contractors of minority construction firms and women owned businesses and for 15 years developers said no thanks We don't want to hire that many black people even though the real estate is valuable, but eventually Herb Cole said I'll split the bill with you
with these New York billionaire fellas that came in and bought the Milwaukee Bucks and also helped build the five serve form make no mistake about it.
We paid for half of that, too.
However, I digress.
They could have built the baseball stadium right there.
But here's what season ticket holders said.
Season ticket.
Milwaukee Brewers.
This is what they said.
Don't you dare build that damn new stadium in the middle of downtown Milwaukee or we will.
not renew our season tickets.
I don't know what the statistic is now, but at the time, 60% of season ticket holders lived outside of the city of Milwaukee, mostly from all points west, like Waukesha area.
Those were the season ticket holders.
And they said, if you build that arena or that new baseball park, because we had to rebuild what was then Miller Park in order for the Brewers to stay because every now and again, you've got to upgrade your stadiums or the league.
We'll take your team and make it for sale though Let other teams and other cities been on if you want if you don't want to build a new a new state I mean, it's always a big Political fiasco because where's the money gonna come from and other taxpayers gonna pay for it in my opinion It's always a good investment for the taxpayers to invest in having a sports team in your city because it brings Tremendous amounts of revenue for many many decades
But the season ticket holder said you're gonna build it exactly where County Stadium was and then the urban planners like no, no We want to bring more economic activity downtown.
Let's just do a freeze frame real quick Look at how much economic activity has poured into downtown and walking the last 30 years.
I don't know damn condos There was no Riverwalk 30 years ago.
Nobody lived downtown 30 years ago It was a bunch of old dilapidator factory buildings now look at it condos housing shop stores the third Ward didn't even really exist the third Ward used to be a bunch of places were
the Italians bought their groceries.
Now look at it.
It's a destination, right?
So a lot of money, a lot of investment was pouring into downtown, but this idea of putting downtown in the spotlight that it's in right now goes back 30 or 40 years.
In fact, this goes back to when Mayor John Norquist was mayor of the city of Milwaukee.
He was like, we need to build up downtown in order for Milwaukee to be successful.
Lo and behold, he was right, somewhat.
And so when we're considering what to put.
in that vacant area that is now the dear district, obviously building the baseball stadium makes good sense.
But the season ticket holder said, we don't want to drive through the black neighborhoods to go watch our beloved brewers.
You will build the stadium on the outskirts so we can just hop right on 94, go to our baseball game, hop right on 94, head back west and go home.
And that's exactly what they did.
So I want you to keep that in mind.
I'm going to give you these details of the.
When I say racist comments that really is an understatement, but I'm not shocked that when you advertise a black culture fest at American Family Field ahead of one of the Baseball games, I'm not shocked that white people would leave racist comments It's what they do, but it's how black people were so hurt and so shocked that white people think this way about us.
I'm thinking myself
What bubble do you live in?
You know what I think it might be?
I think that black people believe now more than ever that.
There were the vocal ones on racism that we call out white people all the time when they say something racist, when they do something racist, don't let them use the n-word, we're gonna have them cancel, or we can act in any old way when we as black people are out in public and dare a white person to say anything about us or anything to us because of how we act because we can shut them down by calling them racist, so here's what happens.
White people really don't say anything.
They use microaggressions they may roll their eyes that may stay quiet all together and so when we don't hear them vocally expressing how much I mean they hate our guts y'all they hate us even the ones that pretend to like us and the fact that y'all don't know this blows my mind and we as black people are putting ourselves in places and in spaces where we think we are safe because the people are reasonably nice to us.
Oh No, no, no, no
They hate us, but the number of black people that were in the comments thing.
Well, but I was the first black person to graduate from my high school, but I'm a black person and I have a job, but explaining to racists, explaining to them how
well, I'm going to screenshot these and send this to your employer.
The employers are probably more racist
I haven't had one.
I'm going to read some of the comments when I come back from my break.
One lady even said, oh, God, what did she say?
I'm going to send this to their pastor and their pastor is not going to like all these racist comments.
Do you want?
Sundays is the most segregated damn day of the week.
I did not know that we as black people would respond in such an emotional way to white people expressing how they actually feel about us.
I thought that we knew and the fact that we don't know.
Means that we are not telling the generation behind us of what they are prepared for Look at the disparities in a criminal justice system.
Look at the disparities in racial profiling Look what happens when we send our kids to schools in which they control the school board and the curriculum What happens the black kids can't read I'll do you one better 92% of the suspensions and the expulsions of NPS are black
kids, but black kids are less than 50% of the student body.
If that does not tell you alone how they feel about us, why would y'all be shocked at the comments?
So I'm gonna have to decipher this for y'all.
Hopefully our YouTube is back up.
We were having a couple of few technical difficulties.
Xavier says no, is that what the phone calls have been Xavier?
Yeah, they're calling about the YouTube.
YouTube is all messed up right now.
Oh, Nelly.
Yeah.
So someone someone's working on it right now.
You
guys are going to have to go to one on one seven the truth dot com and stream my voice the old fashioned way.
Oh, no, don't forget about the radio.
Go sit in the car.
Go sit in the car.
Put on one on one point seven or we even have a signal to if you're feeling fancy.
Fifteen 10 a.m.
We're hopefully going to get the YouTube back up and take a break.
When I come back, I'm going to read some of the comments that the the more fair skinned folks.
Left on this flyer this advertisement for black culture festive place at American family field and the number of black people
Why would you say such racist things about us?
I'm a black person and I'm smart like trying to explain Why they're not supposed to hate us y'all are missing the
Don't touch that dial the truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth calm You are listening to the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth calm
On Friday, they had a black culture fest at American Family Field ahead of one of the Brewer's games.
And every so often, they'll do something dedicated to the legacy of African-Americans and our contributions to Major League Baseball.
Please keep in mind, the Major League Baseball was not the first sport to integrate.
It was actually the NFL and the last professional sport to integrate was basketball.
1950 1951 and here's what's crazy in the early 1950s when they finally integrated the NBA which I bet you they wish they wouldn't have I bet they wish they would have kept the NBA all white cuz then once we came into the league.
Oh, no How are these black scoring 17,000 points?
They were recruiting Black NBA players from the damn Harlem Globetrotters in a while because where else are you gonna get them from and then you know
Fast forward a couple of decades arguably some of the absolute best people that have ever laid hands on a basketball have been It's been a couple Serbians.
There's been a couple It's been there's been a Chinese or two.
There's Yao Meng remember him.
He was he was Chinese very very tall We had a guy from Australia the Bucks did Andrew Bogat remember him
But then, you know, it's been mostly dominated by black African Americans.
But the racism that exists, I don't even know if it's in the league.
It's interesting because I went to a NASCAR race in 2024.
NASCAR has banned the Confederate flag and, you know, they tried to be a little bit more sensitive and progressive with the times.
It's not.
It usually isn't the corporate offices.
It's not what we call big NASCAR It's not the the big Major League Baseball They're not racist because they hit their heads against the wall to try and figure out how they're gonna get more black Consumers and how they get more black fans when I went to that NASCAR race in Las Vegas I promise you 50% of all of the pit crews and the pit bosses and the people that were there like having like real jobs with these NASCAR teams were black
I was blown away.
Big NASCAR wants a black audience.
They do because we are an up and coming minority group and black people are making more money.
We have more income.
And of course, big corporations, including sports, they want black folks to buy tickets and to attend events.
It's the damn fans.
Every time I go to a baseball game and there hasn't been many because I just I don't feel comfortable.
When one on one seven, the truth did.
They did something featuring black people.
Maybe it was a Negro League weekend or one of those things and they had Different hosts from one on one seven the truth do that they do these games where they invite somebody out of the crowd to Answer questions and they went a bunch of prizes Tori did it and then I did that was the most nervous I'd ever been in my entire life.
First of all, it's overwhelmed.
It was forty some thousand people there that was
The first part but the second part was I knew that I wasn't welcome there I just I've never felt comfortable there because baseball fans They're like working-class white people, which I don't know if you guys know this Those are the most racist people you're ever gonna find because they believe that they're they're
Economic situation is directly tied to other races taking their jobs.
It's the working class white people that say, oh, this DEI and affirmative action, you know, black people going to college for free.
That's harming me and my family, even though it has nothing to do with it.
Now, is there more competition for good paying jobs?
Absolutely there is.
But they, the working class whites, who've always had a level of insecurity when it comes to their jobs, because they can get downsized or they can get automated.
Or they can get AI'd out of their job.
They've always been very insecure.
But when you have a white person in the United States of America that is insecure, here's what you can do to manipulate them forever.
Blame a black person or blame a Mexican for why everything is messed up in their world.
And they'll eat it.
And it's political too.
I can have a whole political party and tell you how bad black people are and how bad immigrants are and how bad Mexicans are.
And I will make the a whole bunch of voters hate those groups.
Hate them.
hate them, want to kill them.
Don't want them in this country.
And you can get votes based upon how much you hate those other racial and ethnic groups by a bunch of working-class white folks who've always felt insecure about their job.
The insecurity about the working-class white and their job and their opportunities goes back to slavery.
And you just think about how slavery was not in the best economic interest of poor white folks.
You ever think about that for a second?
You know, they're all white people didn't own slaves, right?
Like one or two percent hardly anybody on slave the same one percenters right now You know the billionaires that y'all hate basically though that was the same class of people that own the slaves
Every white person didn't almost lay the white people were too poor in the rural southern Let me tell you why white people were poor while they were kept poor why they were kept economically deprived because if you're economically deprived You're vulnerable and if you're vulnerable you'll fall for anything and if you're economically deprived and you're vulnerable Chances are you're probably not highly educated and you can manipulate those people If you or a plantation owner and you had the ability
to permanently purchase your labor in enslaved people.
Let's say you had a big old plantation, you had rice, you had the big three.
Rice, tobacco and cotton.
Fourth would probably be sugarcane, but sugarcane was more of the agricultural mainstay in the Caribbean.
By the way, sugarcane plantations, unbelievably brutal, probably some of the...
Welcome to our two of the truth with Sherwin Hughes We have a question on the On the YouTube you go to youtube.com or open up a YouTube app from your smartphone or other mobile device Search one on one seven the truth hit subscribe you'll be able to view the live in studio camera Got my sunglasses on gotta make sure I take them with me
Because last Friday I left them in the studio Happened to tune into the lunch break with Ray nitty and maybe Shannon And I saw Ray nitty sporting my Ray bands Just cuz it's got Ray in the name Ray don't mean that you got to put on my sunglasses.
This is my sunglasses So I went and picked them up Over the weekend because I need my sonnings
Yeah, fingerprints all on the lenses.
That's because he was eating fried chicken.
Yeah, greasy.
It's hard to get these lenses clean now.
He had fried chicken in the studio.
Oh, it says it's a racist comment.
I think white people need to be much more honest with us because in them being politically correct, they are fooling us.
Xavier had said oh, we're on commercial break, you know for for black people to be fooled by racism is just astonishing to me Because we think because the Jim Crow signs came down that that their attitude changed they got more racist You think Barack Obama did anything to move the cause of of racism that do you think he Improved it you think the people saw Barack Obama's oh my god, he's black and he's nice and he's a daddy
He's got a black wife and they're married and they're not divorced Even though I question Michelle Obama sometimes whatever She got a boyfriend somewhere.
That's fine.
Barack wouldn't even care.
He'd still stay with her But do you honestly think that they saw Barack Obama and Said oh wow this racism stuff is stupid because look a black person can be successful too a black person can follow the rules
Not Barack Obama.
He did, you know, did a little cocaine.
It's all right.
A little bit.
He admitted to it in his book.
He had a little bit of an identity crisis.
He was very honest about who he was.
But you honestly think, like, don't stop lying to yourself.
If you lie to yourself, we're going to have to stop.
It's like every woman that thinks she's a 10.
Stop lying to yourself.
You ask a man to rate himself on a scale of one to 10.
He's going to tell you to honestly say, well, I'm fat.
Got a little wee wee.
I'm probably a three.
You'll be honest.
You ask a woman, I'm a 10 out of 10, baby.
Stop lying to yourself.
We're lying to ourselves.
We think just because they don't say a word.
You know, they must like us.
They had our guts.
You ever I want you all to I wish you knew more restaurant owners.
And listen to how servers fight.
Oh, who's going to take the black table?
They don't even want us in the restaurant.
And what do we do?
We go to their damn restaurants and give them a food review that actually helps their business with other African Americans, not knowing that they don't want us in there in the first place.
I just sit in disbelief.
But we were on commercial break and Xavier was like, well, don't these people read the internet and read the comments?
Like you should know how they feel about us and how incredibly racist they are.
Here's what the problem is.
Your co-worker that likes you they talk to you every day.
You might even have lunch with them.
Everything is cordial at work They got three or four different Facebook pages.
We're on everything that talks about race or culture or black people.
They're calling us monkeys and Jigaboo's Spear Chuckers, but they'll sit right next to you at work and be nice to you Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.
Until 5 p.m.
We have no idea.
So here's the thing
On the internet, it's one thing because that's where you see all the racist comments.
But what black folks will say is, well, not my co-workers.
They all like and respect me.
No, your co-workers are actually the ones that are commenting on some of the stuff you're putting on social media.
You just don't know it's them.
It is a veneer.
They told you that they got to hide.
Why do you think the Klan War hoods?
It was hot in the South.
Them hoods got hot.
it was they didn't want to wear them hoods they had to mask their identity because they didn't want you to know that they were the judge they were the sheriff they were the police chief they were the sheriff's deputy they were the mayor they were the alderman and they were the county board supervisor and the executive
That is why they wore hoods.
The whole thing with racism.
It must be covert.
They don't want to be outed.
They don't want to be spotted.
That's embarrassing because then we'll be on to them.
The whole thing is we're going to be nice.
We're going to be pleasant, but then they're going to do this thing politically, right?
They called it Reagan had him.
The silent majority.
Reagan was like, I'll take care of him.
We're going to infiltrate their community with crack and we're gonna build prisons from here to the other side of the horizon Richard Nixon had him Richard Nixon said tell you what y'all decide you want to stop being liberal Dixie crats and come on over to the Republican parties like I'll fix them I'll put a war on drugs out there.
It'll be so severe It'll lock every single black person up that even has a grandma marijuana in their shoe
But for some reason we didn't recognize that because after The civil rights legislation was passed and you had to take the Jim Crow signs down You couldn't say whites only and colors only they had to go even deeper underground and get more covert with it You deindustrialized black neighborhoods and black communities you gut our economics boom now we're poor now we're destitute Here comes the crack here comes mass incarceration
And then look at the neighborhood look at the community who owns our businesses not us I was just looking at all the damn food trucks that we have just in the black neighborhood just chilling and that got to me Because there was a period of time I use Milwaukee as an example.
I do want to get to some of these YouTube comments LT I'm not talking about a stadium that was in a city and moved to the suburbs I'm talking about if there was a stadium that was built
The suburbs and there's land and opportunity in the city where there are more people and where ticket sales would be easier They don't move to the city because they're trying to stay away from diversity Now I'm not familiar with other cities, but there is no city You have other cities that are segregated But the way that Milwaukee did it with our housing covenants and the way that we were so specific and so
overt with it is not like many other cities in America.
And we still maintain our economic and geographic segregation of the races and the incomes to this day because that foundation was laid.
And because Milwaukee does still show remnants of that kind of segregation, the racism that created it and enforced it is also still here.
Problem is we hang out with those white people and don't know how much they actually hate our guts.
As long as you're not doing better than them, it's usually OK.
But once we become competitive and once we start moving into their neighborhoods, then you might get a nigger spray-painted on your garage, you know it comes with the territory So yeah, it's not that if there's opportunity to locate in what they call What are they?
Not a burgeoning market like a Untapped market or so they call black people minorities like we're untapped markets for a while insurance companies.
We're really targeting
Black people because we're under insured For a while Northwest mutual was targeting the African-American community because we don't invest our money worth of sugar honey iced tea So they wanted to sell us investment instruments.
We didn't bite But yeah, it's not about Well, I guess with outward migration because Milwaukee has become a Majority minority city with black people not being the complete majority, but the plurality of races
Not because black people are moving here.
Black people are fleeing Milwaukee.
We're a plurality black city because the white folks are running away.
And what do we do?
We chase them.
White folks are like, we're out of here.
We're going to Wauwatosa.
Here we come.
White folks are like, dang, nab it.
White folks going to Waukesha.
Here we come.
White folks going to Hartford.
Going to Slinger.
Here we come.
We're like, wait for us.
Please.
White folks are going to the moon.
Oh, oh, oh, really?
What do you think the colonization of space is about?
They trying to leave your black ass on earth.
Here we come with a space suit on.
Got a got a whole space.
Hi.
My name is Lee Roy.
Do you?
Have any section 8 moon condo.
That was racist.
One
But I have to.
I got to illustrate this because the number of black people that felt like one lady was like, but I was the first black person to play the guitar at American Family Field.
Why are you so racist?
They hate our guts.
They're just not, they're not being honest about it.
Barack Obama gets elected president not once, but twice.
Do you think the racism calmed down after that?
Do you think the people said, oh my God, he's a decent guy?
Let's stop being so, they got more racists.
I've been trying to tell you, I gotta say it at least once a week.
The more successful we become, the more racist they get.
It does not work in the opposite.
So what do we do?
We try and go above and beyond.
It's wasted effort.
Or if there's a restaurant,
Like one of the employees might be disgruntled.
Oh, oh Texas Roadhouse now they're saying it's a quote-unquote rumor, but Texas Roadhouse is it?
Investigate get they're spitting in black people's food.
I promise to God number one I guarantee that they're probably doing it Okay, and Texas Roadhouse ain't the only one y'all are some whole fools you go out to these white folks restaurants out in their neighborhoods and their damn communities and Act a fool and are disrespectful.
You don't know what they're doing to your food and here we are rating it 10 out of 10
We're so ignorant when it comes to how they feel about us It's sad because we should know better Look at all of our negative statistics y'all we you know how much help black people need to like writ large be doing this bad This can't be just us.
We got to have a lot of help from them This is not just us Barack Obama gets elected president Donald Trump was like I'll push them back
I'll take away that affirmative action, that DEI.
I'll make sure they never become president again.
I'll make it harder for them to vote.
I'll support the SAVE Act.
I'll roll back the 1964 Civil Rights Act.
I will embolden conservative organizations to sue so that black people can't even get scholarships to go to college anymore.
And so if you believe that electing Barack Obama and then re-electing him,
made racism a thing of the past you're not understanding how it works and I'm not explaining this to white folks because they know exactly what they're doing and for some of the white folks that are that are in the comments saying I can't believe this racism shut your mouth your mother your father your sister your brother your grandparents the school you went to the church you go to the job that you were at all talk negatively about black people you've heard it your entire life stop pretending like you're shocked
You can't live in that bubble if you are white everywhere they go God you see what the niggers did all the niggers are fighting against a fair That's exactly how they talk about us, but they don't do it in front of us And then we have the nerve to like think it's some kind of like it's even like sure when look the Asians were fighting So what look sure when the white people fight when they go to baseball games so what?
Do you honestly think that anybody in the world?
There's going to see a bunch of white people fighting in a baseball game and then see a bunch of black kids ravishing state fair and say, oh, same's ease.
The whites fight the blacks fight.
Are you kidding me?
No, you know that it's different when it comes to us.
And here's the other thing.
I don't care what they do.
I don't care if a bunch of white people are at a white event and they're beating the hell out of each other.
Don't bother me none.
But a bunch of black kids going out to their place and their space, going to their state fair and then fighting.
That's different.
I don't care what white folks do.
And they are more violent.
Absolutely.
They curated the violence that is this country.
All the gun violence.
They're the ones defending the Second Amendment and the Constitution.
They're making it so that anybody and everybody can get a gun so they have participation in the violence too.
Plus, they like to do the school shooting.
You got a damn lady just murdered her three damn kids and you got white women feeling sympathy for her.
By the way, gentlemen, let me give you a word of caution.
If your wife, your girlfriend, your woman or whoever is showing sympathy for Lindsey Clancy, your kids are not safe.
You need to use that information to get custody over your kids.
I'm not playing with you.
White woman comes out and says, I killed my three kids.
White women are like, no, you didn't.
It was mental illness that did it.
We support you.
They had a rally in support of a woman that murdered her kids one by one by strangling them.
You know what's saying that is?
She felt her children's bodies go lifeless in her hands and did it one by one And then try to kill herself by falling off a second-story window try to kill us up.
She jumped six feet.
Oh Damn it I'm gonna kill myself.
I'm gonna jump out of this window.
That's five feet off the ground.
It's probably landing on her feet like damn it She's paralyzed though.
There's a lot of people that think the husband that is
Of course they do those talking to some white women there You
know what it is they're they hate men that much even though she calculated Sending him out of the house to run errands and to pick up She even knew how long he was gonna be gone and was able to time the murders of all three children
in the amount of time that he was going to be gone because she sent him out of the house to run specified errands because she knew how long he would be gone and calculated how long it would take to murder her children.
It was premeditated and women are rallying on her behalf.
Fellas, I'm telling you right now, your babies ain't safe.
Take a break, come back.
I got so much more.
I got to talk about Nissan too.
Ooh Nissan loves us.
There's a Nissan dealership They got accused of racism So that's one story, but then there's another story about Nissan that goes back a couple few years and a class action lawsuit which I personally Was a part of So today we're talking about all of these covert ways in which racism is staring black people in the face, but for some reason We don't see it
We think that they like us and they support us and they're here with us And the white people in the comment section like I can't believe there's so much racism shut up That's the last thing I'm ever gonna do is explain racism to a white person know exactly what they're doing and every white person to use the n-word Even if it's in a two-pot clear, they've used it.
They always say they haven't The truth with sure when he was on one on one seven if him will be right back

Could be a G35, could be a G37, could be a G50.
Y'all love you and Nissan don't y'all I had one long time ago Not anymore.
Let's talk to Linda.
You're on one on one seven the truth.
How are you?
Good morning show and good morning to all the good black and white people of Milwaukee.
Oh,
to
to the black
they don't say good morning to
Okay, so, Sharon, yeah, I'm sorry, I just got a text.
Oh, wow, my youngest brother just passed away this morning.
But I was going to say that, yeah, it's a great day in Milwaukee.
I shout out to all the...
communities and individuals and organizations that's doing this show.
And I mean, really, really, I'm just so, I'm just so, I guess, inspired.
And I want to say that I guess the Democrats heard you because they coming out and they're saying that the Democrats, you know, the DNC is
I guess, marginalizing black issues, black representatives.
They are not hosting the democratic convention in Atlanta.
I don't know whatever is going on with that.
And then too, I want to say that I was a waitress at 19.
Remember big boys on poor Washington?
Man, that was the best time of my life.
I used to.
They give me a whole half of the gadoom restaurant because that's how good and efficient and friendly and customer service I was.
And the tip's mad.
I had the morning service during the week and then I had the evening and late night service on weekends, maybe $100 a day, I'm trying to tell you.
But anyways, it helped my freshman years in college and my new apartment, all of this.
But yeah, that's what I have to say.
And I'm really digging those shades.
I'm trying to tell you.
I'm trying to tell you.
I'm trying to tell you.
See you later.
Oh, you won't.
You ain't gonna see me.
New Berlin Mayor Dave Amon.
is under fire after two Muslim organizations call for his resignation following the discovery of anti Muslim racist and sexist content.
He shared publicly on Facebook because you imagine if more of the so we have roughly 1,850 851 municipalities in the state of Wisconsin.
Could you imagine if.
some of the village presidents and the mayors of the 1850 or 1851 Mayors and village presidents actually told People via social media how they feel about minorities and black people how hurt we would be I think they should I Think that we need to be more aware now.
They're not gonna do that because they want to keep us in suspense.
They want us to still
Spend our money.
They don't want to force a boycott and of course they don't want the media attention and the media scrutiny But we're in this really unusual climate.
I say it's unusual because typically if I don't know an elected official or maybe even a business owner was caught Saying something that was derogatory or racist or discriminatory whatever They would lose a lot of business.
They would get boycotted people would say oh, I want nothing to do with that restaurant
Now there's such a willing audience to support people that have that kind of courage if you're a I don't know a mayor or if you're a restaurant owner and you say something racist They'll get you a go fund me.
They'll pay Don't let you don't kill a black person.
You kill a black person The the racist will pay for your lawyer and give you a couple hundred thousand dollars to live on and another couple hundred thousand dollars for your trouble But we for some reason as black people don't recognize that
Remember Chud the Builder.
Well, he got a million dollars donated for his bail after shooting a black man.
There you go.
Remember Shila Hendrix?
Oh, of course.
Called the Little Kid and Nigger.
Got a million dollars.
Oh, that's just
Oh, yeah.
The Muslim Women's Coalition and the Wisconsin Muslim Civic Alliance brought Mayor Amon's post to light.
The content includes reposts such as, quote,
If you voted for a Muslim for elected office, you're a traitor.
Another one, he said, if it weren't for white people, slavery would have never ended.
That's not entirely false.
Right.
They.
It's a it's not politically correct to say that.
But black people probably wanted to end slavery, too.
But no one listened to us.
The whites had to say Abraham Lincoln had say, hey, hey, hey, hey, enough.
Stop it now.
That's time out for that.
And then the South was like.
Do we have to?
And Abraham Lincoln was like.
Slowly, but yeah, kind of take a couple of years.
And the South was like, oh, well, we're not going to be nice to them.
For like a really long time and Abraham Lincoln was the hats out of my hands, but you gotta free him And the South was like, oh man Who's gonna get all this cotton out of the ground?
Tell you what let's pass some black code.
So if we got a free I'm fine.
Let's make everything black people do Illegal and the city councils were like wait what?
We can't do that, can we?
No, no, no.
Somebody was like, no, no, hear me out.
Hear me out.
If we got to free him, fine, because, you know, the Emancipation Proclamation or whatever.
So fine.
We got to free him.
But let's let's make them just like standing around illegal and then we'll arrest them.
And then for all of you plantation owners that lost all of your labor to, you know, freedom.
How about you just rent.
The black people from the jail.
In a plantation, owners were like.
For how much?
I don't know, like nine bucks.
But then do we have to like take care of them?
And the jail was like, no, work on the death.
And then when they died, just come back and get another.
We'll just keep arresting them.
Or how about this?
Don't let them buy any land.
Let them rent the land.
For more money.
Then their harvest can possibly produce and then they'll always be indebted to you and then open up a store so they can buy seed and they can buy food and clothes and let them buy on credit.
and so when they take their rented land and they plant their crops and of course they got to plant crops to feed themselves and whatever crops they have left over they'll sell but whatever it is as far as money goes that they make from selling their crops take all the money because that pays back the credit they have at the store and it pays for the renting of the land we'll call it share cropping because we're going to share in the cropping
Genius idea Janan Najib Founder of the Muslim Women's Coalition said she was shocked when she first saw the mayor of New Berlin's post quote at first I didn't think it was real Najib said Najib described the content as deeply offensive and wide-ranging in its targets quote anti-Muslim
It's anti-black.
It's anti-immigrant.
It's very sexist to the point.
It's cringey and unfortunate for someone of his caliber and stature and age to be posting some of these things.
It was revolting, actually.
Najeeb said, I don't know how in the world a Muslim person is shocked that there's an anti-Muslim sentiment, first of all, anywhere in a Christian country.
Let's keep that in mind.
let alone in a town like New Berlin like Why I'm so just blown away.
It's because they're not being honest with us and they're not telling us on the daily basis how they actually feel Because then none of this was shocked us, but when we hear we're like, oh, you mean there's white people that don't like Muslims Since when September 11th did not help just saying The posts appear on Amon's personal Facebook account, which was made public
Until which was public rather until questions were raised about the content at times dozens of reposts appear daily among them a video of a group of people holding a ban Islam now sign and another post captioned How to stop a Muslim invasion accompanied by a video showing military men throwing bacon at people that's mean because the Muslims don't eat the pork
It's concerning to me as a citizen here in Wisconsin and as someone that represents the Muslim community.
Najib said he's really defining women by their cleavage to market his racist support for certain posts and reposting that doesn't bode.
Well, I bet you that mayor gets reelected.
Now, a little history about New Berlin, because some of you may have forgotten.
This one comes from.
January 1, 2011, so 15 years ago, you ready for this?
The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against New Berlin, Wisconsin, alleging that the city violated the Fair Housing Act by preventing the construction of an affordable housing development proposed by MSP Real Estate Incorporated, filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
You know who filed it?
Eric Holder, when he was Attorney General.
New Berlin said and I'm gonna I'm gonna take a break when I come back.
So the mayor of New Berlin at the time He's not the mayor anymore.
He was actually in favor of this Affordable housing development in New Berlin that was going to be paid for by federal tax credit the people in New Berlin slashed the mayor's tires threatened him his kids and his wife and they vandalized his house because the former mayor of New Berlin it actually was in favor
of low income housing coming to New Berlin was essentially they were about to recall them and he didn't run for reelection.
This is the same New Berlin where the current mayor posted.
anti Muslim, anti woman and anti black things on his social media.
You would have thought that 15 years ago we would have gotten the message about New Berlin.
So why all of the shock when you find out right now because one of those people that may have threatened the mayor of New Berlin in 2011 very well could be the guy that's mayor of New Berlin right now.
Take a break, come back.
And I have details of some of the horrendous horrendous things that people said to the previous mayor of New Berlin.
And this guy was actually in favor of affordable housing.
And there's some of the quotes because people left them voicemail messages.
We don't want niggers moving to New Berlin.
Oh, they were just very open with it.
But you know, some black folks like, I'll move to New Berlin anyway and show them how well behaved a black person can be.
Why do we do that?
Like, we find out that somebody hates us and we always think that we have to be some kind of a pioneer.
Well, I'm gonna show them what a good behave black looks like.
Next thing you know, you're gonna be hanging from a tree.
They're literally hanging.
Has anybody black people been hung in the last two years?
Oh, suicide.
It's a suicide.
That's not...
22 since May.
Xavier said 22 black people have been filing hanging since May.
That's...
They're lynching us and we're surprised that they're racist sure when I can't believe some of the comments They left that multicultural day at Miller Park, but 22 people have been lynched If I'm killing myself first of all, I'm not suicidal.
I'm I'm not gonna I'm not gonna hang myself
from a tree
It's over.
I don't want to
Putting a noose around my own neck.
That's ridiculous.
I'm gonna go out like a wimp.
I'm gonna take a bottle of aspirin And just go to sleep with a teddy bear.
You know what I mean?
If I was to do it I would do it in the softest most gentle way possible I'm not and cuz here's the thing I would mess up the noose and try to hang myself My big ass would break the rope I'd fall down and have like a broken ankle and would limp in to work the next day Sherman What happened?
I got rope burns around my neck and a broken ankle.
Oh Trying to hang myself
No.
We're being lynched.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back.
Very Italian sounding last name.
Chivo Vitero, am I saying all right?
Chivo, I guess so.
He and his family faced intense harassment, threatening phone calls and racist slurs at his home after he, the mayor of New Berlin in 2011.
initially supported a proposed affordable and senior workforce housing development.
The fierce public backlash and recall threats ultimately led city officials to rescind the approval triggering a federal fair housing lawsuit from the Obama administration.
The MSP real estate group planned to multifamily
and senior development in the city center that included workforce housing units intended for people earning thirty five thousand dollars or less a year so at the time there was a lot of construction going on in New Berlin and a lot of the people working on that construction were Mexican but then somebody found it unfair that how are you Mexican and working in New Berlin but can't afford to live there so that was the impetus behind this development group saying well let's do an affordable housing unit
in New Berlin, so the people that are working on construction projects can actually live there.
That's only fair.
The backlash.
Opponents voiced fears regarding crime and lower property values, which morphed into hostile protests, a racist sign left at the mayor's home and targeted intimidation of his wife and children.
Shia Vitaro, I think I'm saying his name wrong.
Later withdrew his support under the intense pressure leading to a discrimination lawsuit filed against New Berlin by the US Department of Justice and the developers, though the housing complex was eventually built and opened years later.
So that also took place in New Berlin.
Let's get to this Nissan one.
So how many of you, let's see.
Let me take a look at the poll.
We lost the damn YouTube again.
What's going on with the YouTube?
I can't even do my work.
All right 37% of you have owned a Nissan.
Hey, that's I'm included in that 37% because I once had a Nissan Pathfinder.
In fact, I love that truck.
I bought that truck and I leased it and It was a 2001 and I started my lease
the fall of 2000 so it was a brand brand new
2001 Nissan Pathfinder.
Ooh, we're all leather moon roof.
That was back when you had the six disc CD changer in the dash.
You would just load your CDs up right into the dash and you had a six disc changer.
Had the Bose audio system.
It was black with the black leather.
You couldn't tell me nothing in that truck.
You understand me?
I was a young man too.
25 years old riding around in some brand new.
Boy, you hated to see me coming.
Come and find out that Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation was charging black and Hispanic buyers more money and higher finance charges and they got caught.
I received in the mail information alerting me that I also was in that class action lawsuit and I at the ripe old age of 25 buying my or leasing my first new car
Was charge inflated fees?
I didn't know no better back then.
It's not like buying a car now now Everything is online.
You can research the car online You can find out what the dealer pays for the car what the dealer markup is you can see what other dealerships are Selling their vehicles for back in a day.
Yeah to get a damn newspaper and find out how much cars was costing it was we had to go to a dealership
There was no online carbine back then, and what I think that online carbine did is it made pricing way more competitive and way more transparent.
In fact, a vehicle that I got right now, I bought it off of Carvana.
They delivered that joke into my house.
It's all, here you go, Sherwin.
Here's your vehicle.
Here, test drive it.
If you don't like it, we'll take it back and get you another one.
I was like, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna like it.
I literally drove the Tesla around the block.
I'm like, I'm good.
All right, here you go.
Here's your license plates.
Here you go.
Have a nice day.
Sign this right here.
Sign the paperwork.
Bye-bye.
And they drove away.
And they took my old vehicle because, no, I had a Chevy Volt.
I drove the hell out that Volt.
I drove that Volt to the core of the Earth and back.
But still never took it to Chicago, though, for some reason.
The case was called Kason.
Versus the Nissan motor acceptance corporation, can I just tell y'all something y'all want to know something?
So this is in the year 2000 I got my lease I Trade my blazer in I Think I might have because I was driving a Chevy Blazer when I
Signed my lease to get my 2001 Nissan Pathfinder was black black leather had the moon roof had a six disc CD changer in the dash.
It was the le model Top of the line top notch You know how much my damn payment was and I need you to think about this now ladies and gentlemen, this is 26 years ago I'm in my first job out of college.
I was making okay money.
I mean back then I was making
33,000 a year that was money back then you got some people not coming out of cars can't make 33,000 back in 99 or 2000 when I got that job as a community organizer for the YMC Community Development Corporation I don't have no bills.
I only had no credit cards 33 thousand dollars a year and health insurance a little paychecks was like $900 every two weeks my rent was only 605 a month
So I could pay my rent with one of my paychecks and still have like $300 left over I had underground parking to Man life is good.
I feel bad for the young people right now because now They're lucky if they can make $33,000 a year and that's where I started at they started me at 33.
Well, I was living good I said, I'm gonna go give me a car.
I need me a new car You know my payment was
$571.33 a month in the year 2000.
Let me do some inflationary math on that.
It was expensive, but I wanted that new car.
I was completely and totally ripped off, not stayed in that lease for about.
Maybe two years.
And then I bought a Land Rover.
I'm a car guy.
I like nice cars.
What can I say?
My dad was a car guy.
My mother's always had nice cars.
Got to have a nice car now, because every time you go somewhere, I don't care if you go into the McDonald's drive through or go into a fancy event.
If you got a nice car, every time you get in it, you reward yourself for a job well done.
Got to have a nice car now.
Can't be pulling up in no junk.
The Volt wasn't.
Particularly fancy, but I was flirting with electric vehicles and that was a good starter vehicle because I didn't know if I wanted to go full balls to the wall electric and then I realized how incredibly inexpensive That vote was to operate that car was so inexpensive to operate I paid it off in like two years because I wasn't really doing a lot of maintenance oil changes was every two years
I never had to replace the brakes because it's got that regenerative braking.
So that's maintenance I didn't have to deal with.
I never went to the gas station.
I think I got gas for that volt maybe three or four times a year.
Max and only had a seven gallon gas tank.
So even if gas was $5 a gallon, I'm only paying $35 every three months to fill up.
Very inexpensive vehicle to operate.
I was like, I can go full balls to the wall in the luxury.
Now look at me, driving an Elon Musk special.
But in 2000, my lease was five.
I'm going to do the inflation calculator.
What would that be right now?
57133 in the year 2000.
In two days.
Money.
Jesus Christ.
OK, my first new car.
Was a 2001 Nissan Pathfinder that I leased for a lease payment of five hundred seventy one Why would anybody even let me do this when I did the inflation calculator?
That's like having a car payment today of one thousand one hundred seven dollars and eighty two cents Do you know what kind of car you can get for a monthly payment of eleven hundred bucks?
You can get a hell of a lot better of a car than a Nissan.
Why did anybody allow me to pay that?
money.
Well, I guess you couldn't tell me nothing
back
Good Lord.
In case and versus Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation, minority car buyers filed a class action lawsuit alleging that Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation allowed car dealers discretion to mark up interest rates.
This practice resulted in African Americans and Hispanic customers paying
disparate higher finance charges than white borrowers and guess who I got that vehicle from what got that Nissan Pathfinder from Rosen Rosen Rosen y'all remember Rosen Rosen rip me off I Ain't no no better.
I was 25 years old $571.33 is what my lease payment was
And you have sales tax added on top of that.
You know when you lease a vehicle, you pay sales tax on the least amount every single month.
I don't even know what it was with the sales tax.
It was obviously more than that, probably closer to $600 a month.
Good God.
Lawsuit and findings.
The core issue.
Lenders approved baseline financing rates, but permitted auto dealers to add an extra percentage.
Markups who increase their profit, statistical studies, plaintiffs introduced expert research showing the minority buyers paid significantly higher average dealer markups than white buyers with similar credit profiles.
The Nissan Motor Acceptance Corporation denied direct wrongdoing or intentional racial bias, arguing that variations in pricing stem from legitimate creditworthiness factors and market forces rather than race.
I'm going to take a break, come back and talk about the settlement in which I was a part.
We're listening to the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 101.7 FM.
I'll be right back
Don't touch that dial the truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back on 101 7 the truth the truth app and 101 7 the truth calm This is the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 101 7 the truth the truth app and 101 7 the truth calm
Today's show has been dedicated to all the ways in which racism is still very much alive and well around us, but when it Rears its ugly head black people are the first ones that are shocked and can't believe that people say those things and can't believe that they think like that about us And I'm here to tell you yeah, they do and I wish that they would be more honest
so that we would be much more aware of how much they actually hate us.
And I know what you're thinking, but sure, when we didn't do anything wrong and we're good people and we work hard, that doesn't matter because the better you are and the more you follow the rules and the more you excel and the more success becomes you, the more they hate us.
It's almost like an inverse relationship.
There is nothing you can do to convince these people otherwise.
And so I would say is continue to live your life be all that you can be and just
as best you can try and shake it off.
I mean, I guess you can get involved in the fight and be an anti-racist, but I'm not entirely sure what that's gonna do it.
But why should you as a black person...
try to convince the person that has created and maintained and fortified a system that they have prided themselves on for centuries.
It's not for us to fix, but we think that if we just work a little harder, if we go to a white-owned restaurant and we tip a little bit more, then they're going to love us.
No, they're going to hate us more.
They're going to wonder why we have so much damn money to tip in the first place.
They're going to assume that we robbed a banker.
We sell dope.
Oh, don't be in a nicer car than them.
It's these micro aggressions.
They'll say stuff like well So what do you like Sherwin?
I mean, I don't want to be nosy or anything I'm like no, no, no, please by all means show me your true colors, but like how did Like you bought a house like how did you do that?
Like why do you have a nice car like what do you?
What do you?
You don't ever question a white person and ask them why they have a nice car.
I see a white person when I come like oh you sell fancy You sell coke
No, we think like all their parents had money they inherited a bunch of money They got a good job.
They blah blah blah They murdered a black person and got to go fund me and they profited a whole bunch of money We always think of incredible excuses as to why they have nice things and have nice houses and have nice cars That might be selling dope too dope got to get here some kind of way But they always assume the worst about us even when we follow the rules and it's horrible black women you have it the worst I'm not sure if y'all know this if you are
An attractive black woman, but there's a kicker to it.
An attractive black woman that wears your natural hair.
And you're skinny.
They hate you more than they hate a rained out baseball game.
Attractive black women that are thin.
Oh my God.
It's some of the most visceral, disgusting hatred because the thing about.
That black woman especially when you have a body type that is idealized by white men They are scared to death of you and they always want to know about your hair and they want to touch your hair They want to get to know you and they'll even mimic some of the vernacular.
There you go, sister queen.
Yes girl.
Yes They hate your guts.
Don't ask me how I know I've seen it firsthand my entire life.
These white women hate they hate black women
It's so bad, but here's the thing black women don't even realize they think that they're being accepted Why women ask them to hang out What do we do we invite them to the damn barbecue?
Does that really happen or is that more symbolic?
The the cookout invite
Okay
We see a white person that can dance real good or sing with some soul like we celebrate cultural appropriation
Oh my God, that white person can dance real good.
Look at his Michael Jackson impression.
You're invited to the cookout.
I think that we have always been looking for racial reconciliation for some reason.
We feel like we need to be accepted by them.
If you're accepted by them.
That's the wrong kind of acceptance.
So we started the program talking about this multicultural event that they had at.
American Family Field.
They was called Black Culture Fest.
And they posted an advertisement about it on social media and the comments didn't disappoint, right?
Are we going to hear smoke detectors chirping in the background?
That's that's I hate to laugh.
Some of it is so ridiculous.
Is there going to be a
Of course, talking about the fighting and talking about the violence.
And this is.
Like an event that was put on by SocialX and SocialX is like a social group organization that tries to prevent brain drain of people that are from Milwaukee educated here and they move somewhere else.
You can't stop people from leaving Milwaukee because why would they want to stay here?
Once your eyes are open to how bad it actually is and how you get treated and how you get disrespected, you think that I haven't seen it being in the field that I am in.
I run circles around white radio hosts because they suck.
They suck.
They're boring.
They're unimaginative.
They're not creative.
Here's what I want.
Here's when white radio could become great again.
Tell us how you feel.
Now, some conservatives do, but they're still kind of careful with their language.
Mark Belling was the best at all.
He'd tell you straight out.
He didn't like these people, did all sorts of stereotypes.
I appreciated him because I think that black folks need to actually hear how they truly feel about us because then we get it.
But also the black community is Nothing more than a colony full of sharecroppers in which our money and our income Goes to someone else if you're barely making you can barely afford your rent you're renting you don't own the property You're paying somebody else and you have all these Asian restaurants and Middle Eastern owned gas stations and Mexican food trucks
further taking our income out of our pockets and away from black owned businesses.
I'm gonna talk about that coming up in hour three.
The black community is simply a colony used to extract wealth away from us and going into somebody else's pocket.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be back for hour
three.
Welcome to our two of the truth with Sherwin Hughes We have a question on the On the YouTube you go to youtube.com or open up a YouTube app from your smartphone or other mobile device Search one on one seven the truth hit subscribe you'll be able to view the live in studio camera Got my sunglasses on gotta make sure I take them with me
Because last Friday I left them in the studio Happened to tune into the lunch break with Ray nitty and maybe Shannon And I saw Ray nitty sporting my Ray bands
Just cuz it's got Ray in the name Ray don't mean that you got to put on my sunglasses.
This is my sunglasses
Yeah, fingerprints all
He had fried chicken in the studio.
Oh, it says it's a racist comment.
I think white people need to be much more honest with us because in them being politically correct, they are fooling us.
Xavier had said oh, we're on commercial break, you know for for black people to be fooled by racism is just astonishing to me Because we think because the Jim Crow signs came down that that their attitude changed they got more racist You think Barack Obama did anything to move the cause of of racism that do you think he Improved it you think the people saw Barack Obama's oh my god, he's black and he's nice and he's a daddy
He's got a black wife and they're married and they're not divorced Even though I question Michelle Obama sometimes whatever She got a boyfriend somewhere.
That's fine.
Barack wouldn't even care.
He'd still stay with her But do you honestly think that they saw Barack Obama and Said oh wow this racism stuff is stupid because look a black person can be successful too a black person can follow the rules
Not Barack Obama.
He did, you know, did a little cocaine.
It's all right.
A little bit.
He admitted to it in his book.
He had a little bit of an identity crisis.
He was very honest about who he was.
But you honestly think, like, don't stop lying to yourself.
If you lie to yourself, we're going to have to stop.
It's like every woman that thinks she's a 10.
Stop lying to yourself.
You ask a man to rate himself on a scale of one to 10.
He's going to tell you to honestly say, well, I'm fat.
Got a little wee wee.
I'm probably a three.
You'll be honest.
You ask a woman, I'm a 10 out of 10, baby.
Stop lying to yourself.
We're lying to ourselves.
We think just because they don't say a word.
You know, they must like us.
They had our guts.
You ever I want you all to I wish you knew more restaurant owners.
And listen to how servers fight.
Oh, who's going to take the black table?
They don't even want us in the restaurant.
And what do we do?
We go to their damn restaurants and give them a food review that actually helps their business with other African Americans, not knowing that they don't want us in there in the first place.
I just sit in disbelief.
But we were on commercial break and Xavier was like, well, don't these people read the internet and read the comments?
Like you should know how they feel about us and how incredibly racist they are.
Here's what the problem is.
Your co-worker that likes you they talk to you every day.
You might even have lunch with them.
Everything is cordial at work They got three or four different Facebook pages.
We're on everything that talks about race or culture or black people.
They're calling us monkeys and Jigaboo's Spear Chuckers, but they'll sit right next to you at work and be nice to you Monday through Friday from 9 a.m.
Until 5 p.m.
We have no idea.
So here's the thing
On the internet, it's one thing because that's where you see all the racist comments.
But what black folks will say is, well, not my co-workers.
They all like and respect me.
No, your co-workers are actually the ones that are commenting on some of the stuff you're putting on social media.
You just don't know it's them.
It is a veneer.
They told you that they got to hide.
Why do you think the Klan War hoods?
It was hot in the South.
Them hoods got hot.
it was they didn't want to wear them hoods they had to mask their identity because they didn't want you to know that they were the judge they were the sheriff they were the police chief they were the sheriff's deputy they were the mayor they were the alderman and they were the county board supervisor and the executive
That is why they wore hoods.
The whole thing with racism.
It must be covert.
They don't want to be outed.
They don't want to be spotted.
That's embarrassing because then we'll be on to them.
The whole thing is we're going to be nice.
We're going to be pleasant, but then they're going to do this thing politically, right?
They called it Reagan had him.
The silent majority.
Reagan was like, I'll take care of him.
We're going to infiltrate their community with crack and we're gonna build prisons from here to the other side of the horizon Richard Nixon had him Richard Nixon said tell you what y'all decide you want to stop being liberal Dixie crats and come on over to the Republican parties like I'll fix them I'll put a war on drugs out there.
It'll be so severe It'll lock every single black person up that even has a grandma marijuana in their shoe
But for some reason we didn't recognize that because after The civil rights legislation was passed and you had to take the Jim Crow signs down You couldn't say whites only and colors only they had to go even deeper underground and get more covert with it You deindustrialized black neighborhoods and black communities you gut our economics boom now we're poor now we're destitute Here comes the crack here comes mass incarceration
And then look at the neighborhood look at the community who owns our businesses not us I was just looking at all the damn food trucks that we have just in the black neighborhood just chilling and that got to me Because there was a period of time I use Milwaukee as an example.
I do want to get to some of these YouTube comments LT I'm not talking about a stadium that was in a city and moved to the suburbs I'm talking about if there was a stadium that was built
Suburbs and there's land and opportunity in the city where there are more people and where ticket sales would be easier They don't move to the city because they're trying to stay away from diversity Now I'm not familiar with other cities, but there is no city You have other cities that are segregated But the way that Milwaukee did it with our housing covenants and the way that we were so specific and so
overt with it is not like many other cities in America.
And we still maintain our economic and geographic segregation of the races and the incomes to this day because that foundation was laid.
And because Milwaukee does still show remnants of that kind of segregation, the racism that created it and enforced it is also still here.
Problem is we hang out with those white people and don't know how much they actually hate our guts.
As long as you're not doing better than them, it's usually OK.
But once we become competitive and once we start moving into their neighborhoods, then you might get a nigger spray-painted on your garage, you know it comes with the territory So yeah, it's not that if there's opportunity to locate in what they call What are they?
Not a burgeoning market like a Untapped market or so they call black people minorities like we're untapped markets for a while insurance companies.
We're really targeting
Black people because we're under insured For a while Northwest mutual was targeting the African-American community because we don't invest our money worth of sugar honey iced tea So they wanted to sell us investment instruments.
We didn't bite But yeah, it's not about Well, I guess with outward migration because Milwaukee has become
a majority minority city with black people not being the complete majority but the plurality of races not because black people are moving here black people are fleeing Milwaukee we're a plurality black city because the white folks are running away and what do we do we chase them white folks are like we're out of here we're going to Wauwatosa here we come white folks are like Dagnabbit white folks going to Walkershow
here we come
White folks going to Hartford going to slinger here.
We come wait for us, please Why folks are going to the moon?
Oh, oh, we're
Hi my name
Is Lee Roy do you Have any section 8 moon condo
that was racist
We just cuz they they got the good schools FOMO fear missing out one.
I'm calling right now But I have to
I gotta illustrate this because the number of black people that felt like one lady was like, but I was the first black person to play the guitar at American Family Field.
Why are you so racist?
They hate our guts.
They're just not They're not being honest about it Barack Obama gets elected president.
I want to but twice.
Do you think the racism calmed down after that?
Do you think the people said, oh my god, he's a decent guy Let's stop being so they got more racist
I've been trying to tell you, I got to say it at least once a week.
The more successful we become, the more racist they get.
It does not work in the opposite.
So what do we do?
We try and go above and beyond.
It's wasted effort.
Or if there's a restaurant, like one of the employees might be disgruntled.
Oh, Texas Roadhouse.
Now they're saying it's a quote unquote rumor, but Texas Roadhouse is an investigative.
They're spitting in black people's food.
I promise to God.
Number one, I guarantee that they're probably doing it.
OK.
And Texas Roadhouse ain't the only one.
Y'all are some whole fools.
You go out to these white folks restaurants out in their neighborhoods and their damn communities and act a fool and are disrespectful.
You don't know what they're doing to your food.
And here we are rating it 10 out of 10.
We're so ignorant when it comes to how they feel about us.
It's sad because we should know better.
Look at all of our negative statistics y'all we you know how much help black people need to like writ large be doing this bad This can't be just us.
We got to have a lot of help from them This is not just us Barack Obama gets elected president Donald Trump was like I'll push him back.
I'll take away that affirmative action that DEI I'll make sure they never become president again.
I'll make it harder for them to vote I'll support the save act
I'll roll back the 19 civil 64 civil rights act.
I will embolden conservative organizations to sue so that black people can't even get scholarships to go to college anymore.
And so if you believe that electing Barack Obama and then reelecting him made racism a thing of the past, you're not understanding how it works.
And I'm not explaining this to white folks because they know exactly what they're doing.
And for some of the white folks that are.
that are in the comments saying, I can't believe this racism.
Shut your mouth.
Your mother, your father, your sister, your brother, your grandparents, the school you went to, the church you go to, the job that you were at.
All talk negatively about black people.
You've heard it your entire life.
Stop pretending like you're shocked.
You can't live in that bubble if you are white.
Everywhere they go, oh God, you see what the niggers did?
Oh, the niggers are fighting against state fair.
That's exactly how they talk about us.
But they don't do it in front of us.
And then we have the nerve to like think it's some kind of like it's even like Sherwin look the Asians were fighting so what look Sherwin the white people fight when they go to baseball games.
So what?
Do you honestly think that anybody in the world is gonna see a bunch of white people fighting in the baseball game and then see a bunch of black kids ravishing state fair and say oh same Z's the whites fight the blacks fight are you kidding me?
No, you know that it's different when it comes to us and here's the other thing
I don't care what they do.
I don't care if a bunch of white people are at a white event and they're beating the hell out of each other, don't bother me none, but a bunch of black kids going out to their place and their space, going to their state fair and then fighting, that's different.
I don't care what white folks do.
And they are more violent.
Absolutely.
They curated the violence that is this country.
All the gun violence.
They're the ones defending the Second Amendment and the Constitution.
They're making it so that anybody and everybody can get a gun so they have participation in the violence too.
Plus, they like to do the school shooting.
You got a damn lady just murdered her three damn kids and you got white women feeling sympathy for her.
By the way, gentlemen, let me give you a word of caution.
If your wife, your girlfriend, your woman or whoever is showing sympathy for Lindsey Clancy, your kids are not safe.
You need to use that information to get custody over your kids.
I'm not playing with you.
White woman comes out and says, I killed my three kids.
White women are like, no, you didn't.
It was mental illness that did it.
We support you.
They had a rally in support of a woman that murdered her kids one by one by strangling them.
You know what's saying that is?
She felt her children's bodies go lifeless in her hands and did it one by one And then try to kill herself by falling off a second-story window try to kill us up.
She jumped six feet.
Oh Damn it I'm gonna kill myself.
I'm gonna jump out of this window.
That's five feet off the ground.
It's probably landing on her feet like damn it She's paralyzed though.
There's a lot of people that think the husband that is
Of course they do those talking to some white women there You
know what it is they're they hate men that much even though she calculated Sending him out of the house to run errands and to pick up She even knew how long he was gonna be gone and was able to time the murders of all three children
in the amount of time that he was going to be gone because she sent him out of the house to run specified errands because she knew how long he would be gone and calculated how long it would take to murder her children.
It was premeditated and women are rallying on her behalf.
Fellas, I'm telling you right now, your babies ain't safe.
Take a break, come back.
I got so much more.
I got to talk about Nissan too.
Ooh Nissan loves us.
There's a Nissan dealership They got accused of racism So that's one story, but then there's another story about Nissan that goes back a couple few years and a class action lawsuit which I personally Was a part of So today we're talking about all of these covert ways in which racism is staring black people in the face, but for some reason We don't see it
We think that they like us and they support us and they're here with us And the white people in the comment section like I can't believe there's so much racism shut up That's the last thing I'm ever gonna do is explain racism to a white person know exactly what they're doing and every white person to use the n-word Even if it's in a two-pot clear, they've used it.
They always say they haven't The truth with sure when he was on one on one seven if him will be right back

You ever driven a Nissan?
There's so many black folks driving Nissan Altamas.
And then the fancy blacks get them in infinity.
Could be a G35, could be a G37, could be a G50.
Y'all love you and Nissan, don't y'all?
I had one long time ago.
Not anymore.
Let's talk to Linda.
You're on one on one seven the truth.
How are you?
Good morning, and good morning to all the good black and white people of Milwaukee.
The leader.
Why don't you say,
to the black
they don't say good morning to us.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I just got a text Wow my youngest brother just passed away this morning, but I was going to say that yeah, it's a great day in Milwaukee.
I shout out to all the
communities and individuals and organizations that's doing this show.
And I mean, really, really, I'm just so, I'm just so, I guess, inspired.
And I want to say that I guess the Democrats heard you because they coming out and they're saying that the Democrats, you know, the DNC is
I guess, marginalizing black issues, black representatives.
They are not hosting the democratic convention in Atlanta.
I don't know whatever is going on with that.
And then too, I want to say that I was a waitress at 19.
Remember big boys on poor Washington?
Man, that was the best time of my life.
I used to.
They give me a whole half of the gadoom restaurant because that's how good and efficient and friendly and customer service I was.
And the tip's mad.
I had the morning service during the week and then I had the evening and late night service on weekends, maybe $100 a day, I'm trying to tell you.
But anyways, it helped my freshman years in college and my new apartment, all of this.
But yeah, that's what I have to say.
And I'm really digging those shades.
I'm trying to tell you.
I'm trying to tell you.
I'm trying to tell you.
See you later.
You ain't gonna see me.
We're sorry that your brother passed away, but she sure likes how I look in my sonnies.
New Berlin Mayor Dave Amon.
is under fire after two Muslim organizations call for his resignation, following the discovery of anti-Muslim, racist and sexist content he shared publicly on Facebook.
Because you imagine if more of the, so we have roughly 1,850, 851 municipalities in the state of Wisconsin.
Because you imagine if
some of the village presidents and the mayors of the 1850 or 1851 Mayors and village presidents actually told People via social media how they feel about minorities and black people how hurt we would be I think they should I Think that we need to be more aware now.
They're not gonna do that because they want to keep us in suspense.
They want us to still
Spend our money.
They don't want to force a boycott and of course they don't want the media attention and the media scrutiny But we're in this really unusual climate.
I say it's unusual because typically if I don't know an elected official or maybe even a business owner was caught Saying something that was derogatory or racist or discriminatory whatever They would lose a lot of business.
They would get boycotted people would say oh, I want nothing to do with that restaurant
Now there's such a willing audience to support people that have that kind of courage if you're a I don't know a mayor or if you're a restaurant owner and you say something racist They'll get you a go fund me.
They'll pay Don't let you don't kill a black person.
You kill a black person The the racist will pay for your lawyer and give you a couple hundred thousand dollars to live on and another couple hundred thousand dollars for your trouble But we for some reason as black people don't recognize that
Remember Chud the Builder.
Well, he got a million dollars donated for his bail after shooting a black man.
There you go.
Remember Shailah Hendricks?
Oh, of course.
Called the Little Kid and Nigger.
Got a million dollars.
Oh, that's just those are the ones we've
Oh, yeah.
The Muslim Women's Coalition and the Wisconsin Muslim Civic Alliance brought Mayor Amon's post to light.
The content includes reposts such as quote,
If you voted for a Muslim for elected office, you're a traitor.
Another one, he said, if it weren't for white people, slavery would have never ended.
That's not entirely false.
Right.
They.
It's a it's not politically correct to say that.
But black people probably wanted to end slavery, too.
But no one listened to us.
The whites had to say Abraham Lincoln had say, hey, hey, hey, hey, enough.
Stop it now.
That's time out for that.
And then the South was like.
Do we have to?
And Abraham Lincoln was like.
Slowly, but yeah, kind of take a couple of years.
And the South was like, oh, well, we're not going to be nice to them.
For like a really long time and Abraham Lincoln was the hats out of my hands, but you gotta free him And the South was like, oh man Who's gonna get all this cotton out of the ground?
Tell you what let's pass some black code.
So if we got a free I'm fine.
Let's make everything black people do Illegal and the city councils were like wait what?
We can't do that, can we?
No, no, no.
Somebody was like, no, no, hear me out.
Hear me out.
If we got to free him, fine, because, you know, the Emancipation Proclamation or whatever.
So fine.
We got to free him.
But let's let's make them just like standing around illegal and then we'll arrest them.
And then for all of you plantation owners that lost all of your labor to, you know, freedom.
How about you just rent?
The black people from the jail.
In a plantation, owners were like.
For how much?
I don't know, like nine bucks.
But then do we have to like take care of them?
And the jail was like, no, work on the death.
And then when they died, just come back and get another.
We'll just keep arresting them.
Or how about this?
Don't let them buy any land.
Let them rent the land.
For more money.
Then their harvest can possibly produce and then they'll always be indebted to you and then open up a store so they can buy seed and they can buy food and clothes and let them buy on credit.
and so when they take their rented land and they plant their crops and of course they got to plant crops to feed themselves and whatever crops they have left over they'll sell but whatever it is as far as money goes that they make from selling their crops take all the money because that pays back the credit they have at the store and it pays for the renting of the land we'll call it share cropping because we're going to share in the cropping
Genius idea Janan Najib Founder of the Muslim Women's Coalition said she was shocked when she first saw the mayor of New Berlin's post quote at first I didn't think it was real Najib said Najib described the content as deeply offensive and wide-ranging in its targets quote anti-Muslim
It's anti-black.
It's anti-immigrant.
It's very sexist to the point.
It's cringey and unfortunate for someone of his caliber and stature and age to be posting some of these things.
It was revolting, actually.
Najeeb said, I don't know how in the world a Muslim person is shocked that there's an anti-Muslim sentiment, first of all, anywhere in a Christian country.
Let's keep that in mind.
let alone in a town like New Berlin like Why I'm so just blown away.
It's because they're not being honest with us and they're not telling us on the daily basis how they actually feel Because then none of this was shocked us, but when we hear we're like, oh, you mean there's white people that don't like Muslims Since when September 11th did not help just saying The posts appear on Amon's personal Facebook account, which was made public
Until which was public rather until questions were raised about the content at times dozens of reposts appear daily among them a video of a group of people holding a ban Islam now sign and another post captioned How to stop a Muslim invasion accompanied by a video showing military men throwing bacon at people that's mean because the Muslims don't eat the pork
It's concerning to me as a citizen here in Wisconsin and as someone that represents the Muslim community.
Najib said he's really defining women by their cleavage to market his racist support for certain posts and reposting that doesn't bode.
Well, I bet you that mayor gets reelected.
Now, a little history about New Berlin, because some of you may have forgotten.
This one comes from.
January 1, 2011, so 15 years ago, you ready for this?
The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit against New Berlin, Wisconsin, alleging that the city violated the Fair Housing Act by preventing the construction of an affordable housing development proposed by MSP Real Estate Incorporated, filed in the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin.
You know who filed it?
Eric Holder, when he was Attorney General.
New Berlin said and I'm gonna I'm gonna take a break when I come back.
So the mayor of New Berlin at the time He's not the mayor anymore.
He was actually in favor of this Affordable housing development in New Berlin that was going to be paid for by federal tax credit the people in New Berlin slashed the mayor's tires threatened him his kids and his wife and they vandalized his house because the former mayor of New Berlin it actually was in favor
of low income housing coming to New Berlin was essentially they were about to recall them and he didn't run for reelection.
This is the same New Berlin where the current mayor posted.
anti-Muslim, anti-woman, and anti-black things on his social media.
You would have thought that 15 years ago we would have gotten the message about New Berlin, so why all of the shock when you find out right now, because one of those people that may have threatened the mayor of New Berlin in 2011, very well could be the guy that's mayor of New Berlin right now.
Take a break, come back.
And I have details of some of the horrendous horrendous things that people said to the previous mayor of New Berlin.
And this guy was actually in favor of affordable housing.
And there's some of the quotes because people left them voicemail messages.
We don't want niggers moving to New Berlin.
Oh, they were just very open with it.
But you know, some black folks like, I'll move to New Berlin anyway and show them how well behaved a black person can be.
Why do we do that?
Like, we find out that somebody hates us and we always think that we have to be some kind of a pioneer.
Well, I'm gonna show them what a good behave black looks like.
Next thing you know, you're gonna be hanging from a tree.
They're literally hanging.
Has anybody black people been hung in the last two years?
Oh, suicide.
It's a suicide.
That's not...
22 since May.
Xavier said 22 black people have been filing hanging since May.
That's...
They're lynching us and we're surprised that they're racist sure when I can't believe some of the comments They left that multicultural day at Miller Park, but 22 people have been lynched If I'm killing myself first of all, I'm not suicidal.
I'm I'm not gonna I'm not gonna hang myself
from a tree
It's over.
I don't want to
Putting a noose around my own neck.
That's ridiculous.
I'm gonna go out like a wimp.
I'm gonna take a bottle of aspirin And just go to sleep with a teddy bear.
You know what I mean?
If I was to do it I would do it in the softest most gentle way possible I'm not and cuz here's the thing I would mess up the noose and try to hang myself My big ass would break the rope I'd fall down and have like a broken ankle and would limp in to work the next day Sherman What happened?
I got rope burns around my neck and a broken ankle.
Oh Trying to hang myself
No, we're being lynched.
The truth was sure when he did the beer I pay.
Don't touch that dial.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back on 1017 The Truth, The Truth App and 1017TheTruth.com.
You are listening to The Truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 The Truth, The Truth App and 1017TheTruth.com.
It's a very Italian-sounding last name.
Chivo Vitero, am I saying all right?
Chivo, I guess so.
He and his family faced intense harassment, threatening phone calls, and racist slurs at his home after he, the mayor of New Berlin in 2011.
initially supported a proposed affordable and senior workforce housing development.
The fierce public backlash and recall threats ultimately led city officials to rescind the approval triggering a federal fair housing lawsuit from the Obama administration.
The MSP real estate group planned to multifamily
and senior development in the city center that included workforce housing units intended for people earning thirty five thousand dollars or less a year so at the time there was a lot of construction going on in New Berlin and a lot of the people working on that construction were Mexican but then somebody found it unfair that how are you Mexican and working in New Berlin but can't afford to live there so that was the impetus behind this development group saying well let's do an affordable housing unit
in New Berlin, so the people that are working on construction projects can actually live there.
That's only fair.
The backlash.
Opponents voiced fears regarding crime and lower property values, which morphed into hostile protests, a racist sign left at the mayor's home, and targeted intimidation of his wife and children.
Shia Vitaro, I think I'm saying his name wrong.
Later withdrew his support under the intense pressure leading to a discrimination lawsuit filed against New Berlin by the US Department of Justice and the developers, though the housing complex was eventually built and opened years later.
So that also took place.
Welcome to our Three of the Truth with Sherwin Hughes.
I wanted to take some time on today's program to illustrate to black people who seem to be shocked and in the dark about how insanely racist some white people are because they tend to be more covert with it.
They're not out with it.
They're not saying the n-word.
There's no signs posted, whites only, colors only.
And so because we don't see the overt racism.
We think that it's not there and we think that they're really our friends and they're really our allies No, they're just hiding under a mask It's why the Klan war hoods because they didn't want you to know who they really were They were the sheriffs.
They were school teachers.
They were judges They were elected officials and they hid that identity.
They're doing the exact same thing now And so I gave you a couple of examples.
There was a black culture night at American Family Field ahead of a baseball game on Friday
and the comments on what should have been a really educational and fun day for anyone going to watch the brewers play the advertisement of that event just turned into a disgusting display of how insanely racist some white people are and the fact that black people were in the comments and why are you saying this about us but this is so mean and black people were sharing and say look at what they're saying about us how your parents didn't warn you
I've been warned about in my entire life, and I've been able to steer relatively clear every night again.
They'll catch you They'll catch you but if you get a mad enough even your closest white friends will call you in there Get a mad enough do I don't know get a mad enough Beat them outpace them out earn them be smarter than them.
It's just a matter of time Because they all think it even when they say sure when you guys can say it
How come I can't say it?
Oh, be my guest.
You absolutely can't.
In fact, use it the way we do.
If that is a word that you use, use it all the time.
Because when we don't hear it, we think that they don't, that they don't actually use the word.
We think that, oh, it's not in their vocabulary.
But sure, when my white friends have never used the N word, no, they've never used it around you.
talked about the mayor of New Berlin who shared posted and reposted things that are anti Muslim anti black and anti woman that went back into a little bit of history about New Berlin where the city of New Berlin got sued by Eric Holder and the US Department of Justice in the Obama administration because there was going to be an affordable housing unit built in New Berlin and the current the mayor of New Berlin at the time got so many threats he had to drop his support
for the affordable housing unit because they threatened him, they vandalized his vehicle, they threatened his wife and they threatened his children because he supported people that were working construction in New Berlin actually having an affordable place to live in New Berlin.
He, the mayor at the time, decided he was going to pull because they were threatening to kill him.
Imagine that.
It's OK to hire the workers to build houses and to build new construction in New Berlin.
But again, but allowing for an affordable housing unit being built with tax credits to be constructed in New Berlin is where they draw the line.
And so the mayor pulls back on his support and ultimately did not run for reelection.
So don't be shocked at the current mayor of New Berlin said some very racist things.
Talked about Nissan asked you guys in the YouTube chat how many of you have ever or do you currently drive a Nissan because Nissan.
an automotive company allowed dealerships to charge black and Hispanic borrowers additional markups and additional fees and additional finance fees to make more profit, but they did not require or let you those fees on on white borrowers and then because we were talking about Nissan in today's JS online racial discrimination lawsuit filed against the Kenosha Nissan dealership, so it looks like they're still at it
and the Nissan lawsuit that I was talking about was 26 years ago but this article dated no a couple of days ago last week Thursday August 20th, 2026 says Kenosha Nissan management threatened several of the car dealerships black employees who reported racial harassment in 2024 according to a lawsuit recently filed in federal court.
The lawsuit filed by the U.S.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on August 18th in U.S.
District Court of Milwaukee states a white sales manager compared one black employee to an animal and assaulted him.
The sales manager also called black employees slow, lazy, and made black employees work in the back of the office instead of the front according to a lawsuit.
The employees are not identified in the lawsuit nor are the general manager or other leadership several employees Resigned for fear of being terminated and Kenosha Nissan fired an employee in retaliation for complaining about the harassment and or because of his race according to the lawsuit There was no record on August 20th for a lawyer representing Kenosha Nissan
Calls and emails sent to the dealership by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel were not immediately returned.
You guys remember the Q&S dealership where there was a black woman who went there for oil change and they wrote on her oil change sticker, the N word.
And then, so then, I guess it was supposed to be a joke, right?
You guys remember the story?
Ben and Carrie talked about it when they were, when they had a morning show here.
So the Q&S dealership had a service employee change the oil on a black woman's vehicle, wrote Nigger.
on her oil change reminder sticker that they put in the top left corner of your of your vehicle that he expected somebody to remove it like I think it might have been a joke between people that work at the dealership and he thought that somebody would have removed it and they didn't and the woman took the vehicle home so then the woman gets a call from the dealership saying oh can we come to your house we need we left something in your car we can we come to your house no you can't come to my house what you want to come to my house for and then she realized why they wanted to come
to her house to remove the sticker and eventually they were all embarrassed and the cunus dealership did an apology if i'm not mistaken i think they gave away a free car to try and to smooth over the the pr nightmare that that was well i know they have a free car giveaway going on right now and maybe that's to make up for what was a horrible pr nightmare for them but i'm giving you all these examples because black people for some reason are shocked
to find out that white people hate our guts.
And it's damn near all of them.
It really is.
It is.
But we think that they're oh, no, they don't say anything bad about me.
But then there's another story.
This one is bad.
Texas Roadhouse is forced to respond after a disturbing post starts making the rounds online.
Texas Roadhouse has officially responded.
after an anonymous post began circulating online with some very disturbing allegations involving black customers.
So before I get into the details of this one, I've only been to the Texas Roadhouse, I think one time, because it's in West Bend.
I'm not out there very often.
I don't even know what the hell I was doing out there.
I was in, you know, was I buying a car?
What was I doing in West Bend?
It was a long time ago.
Oh, probably 10, 15 years ago, if it was a day.
And somebody said, oh, let's go to Texas Roadhouse.
They got good honey butter.
I don't listen to me.
Hold on now.
You get this shirt went down with some good bread and some butter and I'll be cool.
I don't know what it is about bread and butter.

Don't have me go into the cheesecake factory any place where they serve you some good bread and butter.
That's all I need at the appetizer.
Or if I go to go to the Italians, you know, you go to a Italian restaurant.
Here's what you do when you get some good Italian bread at an Italian restaurant.

I went to the Olive Garden not too long ago.
We went for my brother's birthday.
I love some Olive Garden It's not real real Italian food, but it's Italian enough
Are you a fan of balasteries?
I'm thinking of the one on blue mound.
I'm not having no damn arguing with people who got the best damn chicken wings No has the best chicken wings everyone shut up about the damn chicken wings But here's what you do with the Italians because the Italians had that good olive oil
Olive oil is one of those things where quality is commensurate with price.
So if you pay
$37 for a bottle of olive oil.
That's going to be some good olive oil.
Get it infused.
Maybe with a little garlic infused, some kind of herb infused olive oil.
You can cook with it, but it's got a low smoke point now.
You can't fry stuff.
You can't deep fry stuff in the olive oil, but olive oil is good, clean, healthy oil.
But here's what you do with the good olive oil.
It's got to be good olive oil.
It can't be no cheap stuff.
Don't get no Kroger olive oil.
Get something with an Italian name you can't pronounce.
with a bunch of apostrophes and a bunch of like Z's in it.
Get something that's real Italian.
But here's what you do.
You just some good Italian bread.
Okay.
And you get you a little dish.
And you pour out some of that good olive oil.
Maybe that garlic, herb infused olive oil into that little dish.
You're not done yet.
Listen to me.
I'm trying to teach you how to eat.
Now y'all don't know how to eat, right?
You get you some Parmesan cheese.
You sprinkle some of that Parmesan cheese on that good urban fuse garlic and fuels olive oil.
Okay, listen, you're not done yet Keep listening to me.
You don't know how to eat.
I'm gonna teach you how to eat You get you a piece of that good crusty Italian bread that fresh Italian bread is crusty on the outside soft on the inside You know what I'm talking about like a mean woman hard exterior soft on the inside and you stop
Okay, you take some of that bread you got to break it you got to break that bread Get you a nice little piece of that a crusty Italian bread and you stop it in that good urban fuse garlic infuse olive oil with that Parmesan cheese get you a good stop Don't do no weak stop stop like you mean it You dip it let it sit for a thing let it soak let it marinate Get you a load of that
Don't get too fancy with and throw you a couple of little red pepper flakes there now you want to slap somebody You know what I mean?
That's how you got to do it with the Italian.
What was I even talking about?
I just got wrapped up in Texas Roadhouse has officially responded after an anonymous post began circulating online with some very disturbing allegations involving guess who black customers And know this has nothing to do with Donald Trump, but here's what Donald Trump did
He said something that we missed or we we made it seem like it was something else like when Donald Trump says something He's not smart enough to have any double-on tondra when he says it.
He means it We got to listen to him.
He said I'll be your retribution Let put your faith in me do sounded almost biblical when he said it I'll be your retribution If you hate them, I will create policies that will show how much we hate them
You're not successful.
You're not doing well economy ain't doing well for you.
How about this?
I'll punish them.
I'll lock them up.
I'll send them back I will deport them with no due process I will have white warrantless searches of their own even if they're American citizens don't matter if they fit the bill I'll take them out.
Oh the blacks.
Oh, we got them.
They're easy to fool
We'll take away everything that gives them an opportunity.
We'll make it harder for them to go to school.
We'll make it so that colleges can't look at race.
Even if colleges have a history of racial discrimination, we'll make college more expensive.
We'll take away their scholarship.
We're going to take away affirmative action.
We're going to take away DEI.
They will suffer.
We'll also reduce the amount of money that the federal government invests in cancer research.
Because what we've found is that when the federal government invests in cancer research,
Guess who survival rates go up?
You guessed it, black people.
That's DEI to cut it all out.
I will be your rich rebution and he didn't lie.
Not one time.
That's the only thing he didn't lie about.
But for some reason that flew over our heads.
They hate us.
And here's the thing.
They're going to get mad at me for doing this show because they never wanted to expose.
I know how much they hate us and I can appreciate their passion.
I really can and I know I don't go into their places into their spaces because for what?
I think I'm going out of my way to go to some damn restaurant in Waukesha that y'all find.
Are y'all insane?
You know what they're doing to your food?
And I know this because I know somebody who worked at a restaurant that got fired for spitting in the food.
I know that when we had a co-op, so at Brown Deer High School, if you were a senior, you could have you could spend 7th and 8th hour at a job if you had a job somewhere.
Okay.
There was a McDonald's on Rean Bay Road here.
Imagine this.
They tore it down McDonald's.
Hey, I don't even exist no more.
How you tear it out of McDonald's?
McDonald's always gonna make money because it's always fat people and nuggets are delicious.
And so is the Big Mac.
That's why the Big Mac been on the menu for 50 years.
It's delicious.
I don't care what you say.
You can hate fast food all you want.
It's not good for you.
You're not supposed to eat it every day.
But every now and again, if I give me a good hot fresh Big Mac, my toes curl.
I sometimes I take a Big Mac over a date with a woman.
You know what I mean?
Sometimes the woman gonna give you way more headache.
I ain't never been disappointed by Big Mac even if it ain't fresh it's still better than a woman with a bad attitude.
You know what I'm saying?
And I already know how much the Big Mac gonna cause.
That woman might cost you a whole bunch.
She might cost you 18 years lost to child support.
You would have wished you would have got that Big Mac.
Big Mac it spends like $6.99.
That's alright.
I'll pay $6.99 once.
Sit in my car.
Put on some Kenny G Take off my shirt Sitting apart.
I got ten in windows.
Don't worry about what I do in my car.
Why y'all always in my business worried about what I'm doing I Need to get yourself some business depends on the woman It always depends on the woman, but I hear they they over here defending Lizzie Lindsey Clancy You can have them you can have all them women.
Yeah, you know
Yeah, lady was trying to tell me that this uh this weekend
An anonymous person claimed the white servers were spitting in the food of black customers and even mentioned a Facebook group called white servers only I'm I wish I could be a member of that group.
I think they've since taken the group down y'all have no idea when they see us coming how bad They want us to leave I Got friends at own restaurants and he's had to fire servers because when he hears them
arguing about who's gonna take the black table and nobody wants to take that's why we sit there you ever go to a restaurant and just you sit there and everybody else getting seated everybody else gotta take you still sitting there you still sitting there or you at a restaurant ain't nobody coming to greet you
Anybody coming to sell will see you in a sec.
Anybody coming because the servers are arguing because nobody wants you in their section.
We need to know and understand this.
They don't want us and they colonize our neighborhood.
Look how many Chinese food restaurants we got in our community.
Look how many Mexican food trucks just come plop themselves down in the black community.
That has taken our economics and it is competing against black owned restaurants.
Let me tell you how it used to be in Milwaukee.
A lot of folks don't know this history.
If you had an Irish bakery in Milwaukee, say around the turn of the 20th century, back when the Irish and the Italians and the Poles, they all hated each other.
And the Germans and the Jews, all the white folks, because we weren't up here yet.
When we came up here, then they all could direct their hate toward us.
But before we got here, all the white folks used to hate each other.
In fact, the labor massacre in Bayview in 1880, that was white people killing each other.
So let's say you got a permit to open.
You're Irish.
You got a little Irish bakery, whatever, because back then everything was about ethnicity.
Now you can't really use ethnicity.
Now, like you could back then, because if you were Irish, you had a Irish bakery, then all the Irish immigrants, that's where they would go.
You were from Ireland you were you were from the homeland they wanted to support you they wanted to provide you with With profit if you're Irish you saw I got an Irish Baker.
Oh, you do I'll go I'm Irish too.
My name is Mick Lurkin Mick Murray Mickey Whatever the mix are You go to the Irish Baker, but if you got Your little Irish bakery in an Italian neighborhood like in a third Ward you open up your little Irish bakery
An Italian neighbor, you know what the Italians would do?
Oh, okay.
You want it?
It will bust out your windows.
They will destroy your store and it said, you got a couple options.
This is what they used to do to keep their neighborhoods ethnically clean so that no other ethnicity was taken profit away from their community.
We as black folks don't do this.
We welcome every damn body.
Not only do we invite anybody and everybody to the barbecue.
Come on and open up your business in our neighborhood.
Please extract more profit and more income from the black community so we have less money to spend with our own Y'all stop chipping over these damn grocery stores closing because y'all spending your money at the damn taco truck Ain't going to no damn grocery store one or one of grocery stores closing.
First of all, y'all can't cook White women can't cook either.
You know what they call it girl dinner
I'm fascinated by how they're almost exactly the same, but they'll have cute little names for the fact that they don't know anything about domestic duties.
I did a girl dinner and I'm watching this TikTok video with my mouth wide open because I'm just a gas at what girl dinner.
You know what this bra did?
I got some leftover rice to put some salt on it.
Girl dinner.
Oh, you can't cook.
No, it's not that I can't cook.
It's girl dinner.
I don't know who the hell invented.
A charcuterie board?
We're having girl dinner.
You eating the salami and cheese?
You eating the lunchable?
What olives?
We're going to call it girl dinner, because canine and none of y'all even boil some water.
White girl talking about she making dinner.
She making Kraft macaroni and cheese and the noodles be crunchy.
You know what I mean?
Come on, ladies.
Call it girl dinner.
I can't cook.
We're going to call it girl dinner.
What are you eating?
One microwaved potato.
Girl dinner.
But no, we don't cook either.
Damn food for all these damn Chinese restaurants in our neighborhood.
Why would you go to girls?
You can go get you some egg rolls.
You know what I'm saying?
The an honest person claimed that white servers were spitting in the food of black customers and even mentioned a Facebook group called white servers only.
Those are some extremely serious accusations at this time No evidence has been released confirming that anybody's food was actually tampered with of course not not gonna admit that that's a big felony So at the co-op that we had the McDonald's on Green Bay Road and Brown is back in the early 90s When they found out a cop was in a drive-through Because the burger patties are frozen they put them in this thing called a queue
Q is something that heats the burger patty up and then they make your double cheeseburger They make you quarter pounder.
They make you big man They would play hockey with the frozen patties if they knew that a cop was in the drive-thru and this I knew for an absolute fact and this is 30 some years ago You think with how they feel about us right now that they don't spit in our food and we go into these restaurants and we act a fool don't we
No, I need more.
They bring me three more limited.
No, I don't want to pay for this.
We split in this tab seven way.
You honestly think that they're going to serve your food with his thing.
They're going to smile at you.
They're going to be very nice because I'm reading the comments on this.
This Texas Roadhouse post and I feel so bad for the black folks because they over here saying, but every time I go to Texas Roadhouse, they treat me with respect and they smile at me.
Because you don't need to be mean to somebody if you spit in their food.
You should be nice because if you're mean and have an attitude, then you might suspect, uh-oh, I maybe shouldn't trust this server.
They're giving me a mean look.
But if they bring that hamburger out, it's got extra sauce on it and don't even, it's probably not ranch.
Y'all be careful.
That may not be ranch.
I don't know how I bring my own ranch.
I bring my own bottle of Hidden Valley.
I ain't trusting that ranch.
Don't you do it.
Yeah, can I get an extra thing of ranch to be there?
Sure.
And what's crazy is you might have a waitress, but it's a waiter that brings the ranch.
Don't do it.
Don't you do that ranch.
Y'all dip everything in ranch.
Ranch fries, pizza, each other.

Sherwin, I want to talk about why you.
Sugar honey iced tea on compliments you need to learn how to accept and receive compliments by sincere black women period Linda you make it weird That's why you make it weird you make it uncomfortable You make it overly sexual and I bring this up because if if a man Made the same kinds of comments to a female host
Nobody would stand for but for some y'all got a chill with that.
I
don't
think men want we don't want to hear We only want to hear compliments from the people we want to hear compliments from you can't make sexual compliments to everybody That's disgusting and unwanted I mean you I had that you put it in the YouTube chats I had to give you a little bit of honesty now because that's what we go and do we go and be honest We want the white people to be honest with us too, but I'm like they ate our guts
Almost wish they could put signs up that say no blacks allowed then you would know not to go in there Because wouldn't you rather know I'd rather know it might hurt my feelings at first especially if I saw it like a Burger King Hi from this point forward Burger King will no longer be serving blacks.
I mean, oh Darn it.
I Wanted a fish sandwich I would rather know instead of living in ignorance because They're gonna get their revenge if they don't want us
Then they're gonna find a way To be micro aggressive to do something that is sublime to do something that we don't notice and here we are thinking we're getting a good experience They really don't like us and if the criminal justice system isn't an indicator if the education system isn't an indicator
If the generation after generation of lack of black home ownership lack of policy that addresses some of these fundamental issues like that's not an indicator They really don't like us the way they treated Barack Obama the way Donald Trump runs for president three times and got worse and worse and worse each successive run and wins two out of three times now his platform is as over
Overtly racial as one can possibly get and he's still above a 50 50% approval rating and several southern and interior mountain states still That that needs to be a wake-up call for us Insane all right There is a provocative but historically recognizable way to describe
The economic structure of predominantly black neighborhoods in Milwaukee, more specifically on the north side.
The people live there.
The people work.
The people earn money.
The people spend money, but comparatively little of that land, housing, commercial property, business, or appreciating capital is owned by people who live there.
When you think about it, black people, our home ownership rate is 27%.
73% of black people are renting.
We are sharecropping real estate.
And if your rent goes up and your wages don't, you can very easily go into debt or remain deep in the throes of poverty just to live.
There's no extras.
There's no vacation money.
There's no money you're putting away for a rainy day.
But for some reason we have this weird, not all black people.
Let me be clear.
Some of y'all know money very, very well.
We look at money in terms of income.
How much money do you make?
Oh, I make a hundred thousand.
Oh, I make a hundred and twenty thousand and we think that's the pinnacle We think that we've made it but if you make a hundred thousand dollars a year which I suppose for a single person with no kids That's a decent salary.
You can be okay with that But if you got a fifteen hundred dollar a month car payment, you're paying thirty five hundred dollars a month for rent You're still living check to check it is not about how much money you make because we think if we make a bunch of money We can floss we can act a fool
We can brag.
You know what?
I hate seeing people.
They got a big stack of cash and they hold it up to their ear like it's a telephone and they brag and they got a big stack of cash.
When I see people with big stack of cash, I think to myself, I hope you get robbed because that will teach you not to walk around with cash because real money, real people with real money, they don't have cash.
They got bank statements.
Ask that same person what a stack of cash to show you their quarterly 401k statement.
I bet today ain't got one.
It's not about your income.
It's about how much money you have that you don't have to touch If some people making $30,000 a year But have $490,000 in an account earning interest where they're okay making $30,000 a year Oh, and by the way, their house is paid for their cars paid for now that might be driving in 2002 Honda Civic.
That's the thing about white folks.
They don't care about cars like that
They will drive that Honda Accord Until the wheels fall off they have a no damn car payment because cars don't appreciate in value Some of the richest people that I've known have driven some of the most raggedy cars ever But it's also a good smoke screen some of the richest people I've ever known dressed like bums Or it looks like they do they're just wearing some jeans and a t-shirt a t-shirt is $700 though and they have 12 of them Like dang
What kind of cars that you driving?
Oh this right here Sherwin.
Oh this this is my old reliable.
No, it gets me from A to B You already know when they say something like that.
Oh, yeah, just this is my you know, it's just a vehicle It's not that big of a deal.
This is a pre-civil war.
This is a slavery Honda.
I I Got a 1559 Honda carriage.
Yeah.
Yeah.
No, no, they're very reliable
If you look, it still smells like Civil War in it.
Yep.
Yeah, I'm not gonna replace this till the wheels fall off of it.
How many miles does it have on 30 billion?
Oh, yeah, no.
We used to take summer vacations to the sun.
We drove to the moon last month to go visit my in-laws.
But not us.
We get us look at me when I first got out of college.
I'm buying me a new car pay $571 a month not knowing that I was getting ripped off by Nissan and ended up being in a class action lawsuit And let me tell you how Nissan settled the class action lawsuit where they essentially admitted without admitting that they allowed dealerships to charge Black and Hispanic borrowers hired service fees and finance fees.
Here's how they settled the lawsuit by offering
black customers, low interest financing on the next Nissan that they buy.
That's how they settled it.
So I get this card in the mail saying I was a member of the class because I was automatically entered into the class.
Like, oh, here, we'll give you low interest financing when you come back and buy your next Nissan from rows and rows and rows.
And I said, no, thank you, no, thank you, no, thank you.
I got a Land Rover after that.
That was another one.
You couldn't tell me nothing when I was in that Land Rover.
When I had that Land Rover I would I go pick the daughter up one night and next I pick up the mama Couldn't you couldn't tell me nothing when I had that Land Rover black with the tan interior I come up the street.
Oh, no Here comes Sherwin He picked my grandmother up last night darn it.
I hate that I Hate that Sherwin you're listening to the truth

Don't let
this fool you this is some AI slop Forget flags armies and governors for a moment from an economic standpoint colonial systems frequently operated according to a simple arrangement
resource extraction, external ownership, and wealth leaves.
The colony supplied labor, consumers, land, or raw materials.
Outside owners control much of the productive capital.
The local population participated in the economy, but captured a small portion of the accumulated wealth.
That distinction between participating in an economy and owning an economy is critical.
A worker receives wages, a consumer buys products, a renter purchases housing services, but an owner can accumulate equity, appreciation, profits, and an asset that can be transferred to the next generation.
That brings us to Milwaukee.
Zip Code 53206 makes the analogy unusually easy to understand, so I'm trying to illustrate.
that the north side of the city of Milwaukee is essentially a colony in which black people are there to provide resources, their money and their income to other interests that are oftentimes not black and that is how the money leaves our community.
The other thing is if you inject income into the black community, somebody else is going to get it back.
Just like if we got reparations and I don't know what the reparations check is going to be, is it 20,000?
Is it 200,000?
Think about who we would give the money to think about what we would buy.
Think about what communities would receive all of our reparations.
So any money that you inject into the black community and it could be like social service resource.
Somebody is getting that money and somebody is going to get rich and it's not us.
Consider five three two zero six one of Milwaukee's overwhelmingly black zip codes.
Current 2020 through 2024 American Community Survey put this population at about 19,900 people.
And the average household income, this is the household, is $29,336 per capita income is roughly $19,986.
and approximately 40.5% of residents in 53206 live below the poverty line.
So the poverty line is extreme poverty.
You could be 50% above, 75% above, even 100% above the federal poverty line for a family of four and you still are not making it.
So the fact that 40.5% live below it is
It's just about as bad as you can possibly get.
So the household income on average in five, three, two, zero, six is less than 30 grand a year, 29,336 dollars.
Well, let's compare that to Milwaukee overall.
What do you think the average income in the city of Milwaukee is?
Now, this is not an expensive city.
I know our taxes have gone up.
Know the cost of living is gone up, but compare Milwaukee to a New York and LA of Miami or even a Chicago It's a lot cheaper a lot less expensive, right?
Milwaukee average income 54,234 dollars 5306 average income 29,000
$336 the average income of a Milwaukee and outside of 5 3 2 0 6 is $30,000 more a year.
You would think just move out of that zip code and automatically your money's gonna go up.
It's $78,218 for the Milwaukee Walker Shaw metro area.
Average household income so in 5 3 2 0 6 is $29,336.
Average income for a Wisconsin family is $77,485.
Average income nationally, almost $81,000 a year.
In other words, the typical 53206 household is operating at roughly $0.37 for every dollar of average household income in the surrounding area.
$0.37 on the dollar is what you are making compared to someone who lives seven miles away.
There are approximately 7,572 occupied housing units and 53206.
68% are rented, so 32% are owned.
So 5,131 or 67.8% of those housing units or rents are occupied.
32.2% are owner occupied.
And remember that the home ownership rate for the zip code, not specifically the black home ownership rate writ large.
Across the metropolitan area, the black home ownership rate is only 27.5%.
The African-American leadership milk African-American Alliance Index whatever that is ranked Milwaukee 49th out of 50th when it comes to black home ownership That's not good.
I wonder who's worse
Think of two families paying $1,000 every month for housing.
Family A owns its house.
Some portion of its payment eventually becomes home equity.
The house can appreciate.
The family can potentially borrow against the value of their home.
Eventually, the mortgage disappears.
The house can be passed to the children.
Family B rents.
The family receives something valuable, housing, but its rent primarily becomes revenue for the property owner.
After 20 years, family B that rents
may have spent $200,000 on housing without acquiring any real estate whatsoever.
That doesn't make the landlord inherently exploitative, but it illustrates the difference between consumption and accumulation.
Black Milwaukeeans today
are obviously not literal sharecroppers.
Historically, sharecropping emerged after slavery and involved agricultural laborers working land they did not own.
However, the economic resemblance to 53206 in 2026, the resemblance is worth discussing.
The sharecroppers fundamental problem was, quote, I work, but I don't own the product asset.
For many poor households, the problem becomes I work, but I don't own many appreciating assets.
The paycheck comes in, then rent takes some, utility takes some, transportation takes some, food takes some, debt takes some, insurance takes some, retail takes some, and the household starts the next month all over again.
The person may be working continuously while accumulating very little capital.
That is the modern parallel, not forced agricultural labor, but labor without any kind of ownership.
We essentially are living on a sharecropping colony.
Imagine Black Milwaukee as a bucket.
There's a hole in the bucket, dear Eliza.
Every payday water gets poured into the bucket.
The water represents wages, social security, government benefits, pensions, tax refunds, and other income.
How much water enters the bucket is not the important question, but how many holes are in the bucket and who owns the pipes attached to the holes?
If residents pay rents or property owners outside the neighborhood money leaves Household balance sheets if they shop at corporations headquartered elsewhere Profits ultimately flow outside of the neighborhood.
I feel bad cuz I bought these pants.
I'm wearing that colds.
I thought colds was inexpensive Colds cost a lot of money
Somebody lied to me I Went to the Coles I shouldn't even admit this but where else can't where can you get clothes owned by black people do black people own clothing store?
Yes of stuff that I want to buy though.
I don't want no ripped jeans with graffiti on a booty I want a graffiti booty jeans.
I'm 51 years old.
I can't work graffiti booty.
Yeah, go right down the street to unfinished legacy Actually, my friend owns it.
I don't wanna shop where you shop.
How the hell I look?
I can't stand when old people look young.
Try to dress, be 50 years old.
Got arthritis and over here wearing a brand new Jordans.
You're too old, sir.
Even though Jordans are our generation.
You're never too old for Jordans.
Look who we got in studio today
Those are good walking shoes
Because said you had more thoughts if you were if you had Jordans on
I'm just gonna wear slippers.
It's where some house shoes oh Cuz then I'll be mr. Hughes mr. Hughes Where where are your shoes shut up?
I'm in a wheelchair wearing a bib
And if neighborhood businesses are owned by people who reside elsewhere, some portion of the profits similarly leave.
Money entering a neighborhood is not the same thing as wealth remaining in the neighborhood.
The Chinese restaurant, Middle Eastern gas station and Mexican food truck examples is one of the many analogies that harms black economics.
I'm gonna take a break, come back.
We're over here living on a colony.
Texas Roadhouse had to come up with an official statement denouncing that people are spitting in black people's food in 2011 the Obama administration had to sue the city of New Berlin because they didn't want an affordable housing complex built in their neighborhood the mayor of New Berlin didn't run for reelection because he got death threats they threatened him they slashed his tires they threatened his children
because he supported affordable housing in New Berlin, New Berlin residents didn't want black people moving into the neighborhoods so they threatened the mayor because of his support.
For the damn affordable housing project.
And then you have the current mayor of New Berlin posting anti black anti Muslim sentiments.
on his public Facebook page.
I'm giving you all of this information to show the racism is alive and well, and we choose to ignore it or we are shocked when they tell us how they actually feel about us.
On Friday, the Brewers had a black cultural exhibition showcasing the impact and the importance of African Americans, not just on Major League Baseball, but on culture as a whole.
And the comment section was full of every single racial.
racist and racial epithets you could ever think of.
And the black people are in the comments saying, why are you saying this about us?
Why are you so mean?
It's amazing that we are still shocked when we find out they're speaking their truth about how they feel about us.
You go to a restaurant.
You're wondering why nobody is coming to greet you.
You're wondering why nobody is seating you.
You're just standing there.
You're standing there because the servers are arguing because they don't want us in their section.
But what do we do?
We go to the damn restaurant, do a food review and give everybody a 10 out of 10.
Oh, I'd come here again.
Not knowing they're probably spitting your food.
And then we want to split the check 13 ways.
I'm not telling y'all to change anything that you do.
I'm just telling you to be aware.
They really don't like us very much.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be
right back.
You are listening to the truth with Sherwin Hughes on 1017 the truth the truth app and 1017 the truth comm
Yeah, it's cuffing season now Got any prospects
lady be sure to cuff.
I'm cool.
I'm straight.
I don't Y'all think it's funny like my safety is in jeopardy when I leave the house.
You know where I spend my time
Where bullets and black fists can't reach I'm on the water I'm I was on the boat all weekend day.
It's so peaceful.
It's just water a lot of whites But they see you out on the water they just be waving that shit thumbing
up you can swim No, so you're on a boat and you can't swim.
You don't got a life jacket
Not
So you can't even doggy paddle.
That's insane.
They got a really nice harbor there.
But sometimes when you get a little chop.
And the boat is very fast.
So I don't know, we'll be going 40 or 50 miles an hour on water.
It's like going 100 miles an hour on land.
It is insanely fast.
And so every night again, they'll be, they'll be like a little wave.
And if you're going 50 miles an hour and you hit that wave, bop, you fly up in there and you come back down and you hit another wave, bop, and you come back down, there's another wave crest, bop, like you're kind of, you're flying up out the boat.
And if I'm not hanging on to something, I'll be in Lake Michigan and I'm done for.
But I just hope that I don't fall out the boat.
I ain't falling out the boat yet, plus I'd rather be out on the water.
I post my pictures on...
Snapchat I post or I post them on my Twitter.
Follow me on the Twitter.
I post them on my Instagram.
So y'all be on land fighting and shooting.
I don't hear a single gunshot on the water.
None.
I'm just out there riding around.
Having me a beverage.
Sometimes I drive the boat.
Sometimes I'm a passenger in the boat.
I'm not.
It's too much trouble on land.
I spent my summer on water.
I don't need to be where y'all is that?
Throwing punches and can jump by YNs.
Are you reckless drivers?
No, thank you.
I don't want to have nothing to do with that.
I like seclusion.
That's why I'm not going to tell y'all where I go.
I will recommend great places.
Absolutely I will.
I want you guys to go and have a good time and explore Milwaukee.
but do so with a little bit of caution, of course.
But typically the places that I recommend are safe, but don't act a fool, please.
Act like you got a little bit of sense, like you got a little taste of some home training because y'all can't be going to these and then you're going to drop my name.
Well, Sherwin told me to come here.
No Sherwin did not.
I didn't tell you to act like that.
Unbelievable.
Texas Roadhouse responds after disturbing post starts making the rounds online.
Texas Roadhouse has officially responded after an anonymous post began circulating online with some very disturbing allegations involving black customers.
The anonymous person claimed that white servers were spitting in the food of black customers and even mentioned a Facebook group called white servers only.
I wonder if, let me tell you what's crazy.
So I'm reading this off of Facebook.
When I pull up facebook.com on our in-studio computer, you know who's Facebook login comes up been jamming I'm not gonna log in though because that wouldn't be very nice Yeah, just be aware ladies and gentlemen that all the glitters is not gold and maybe we should Maybe stop inviting people to our barbecues because When was the last time they invited you to one of theirs?

Thank you for listening.
I'll see you next time.
Welcome to our Three of the Truth with Sherwin Hughes.
I wanted to take some time on today's program to illustrate to black people who seem to be shocked and in the dark about how insanely racist some white people are because they tend to be more covert with it.
They're not out with it.
They're not saying the n-word.
There's no signs posted, whites only, colors only.
And so because we don't see the overt racism.
We think that it's not there and we think that they're really our friends and they're really our allies No, they're just hiding under a mask It's why the Klan war hoods because they didn't want you to know who they really were They were the sheriffs.
They were school teachers.
They were judges They were elected officials and they hid that identity.
They're doing the exact same thing now And so I gave you a couple of examples.
There was a black culture night at American Family Field ahead of a baseball game on Friday
and the comments on what should have been a really educational and fun day for anyone going to watch the brewers play the advertisement of that event just turned into a disgusting display of how insanely racist some white people are and the fact that black people were in the comments and why are you saying this about us but this is so mean and black people were sharing and say look at what they're saying about us who your parents didn't warn you
I've been warned about in my entire life, and I've been able to steer relatively clear every night again.
They'll catch you They'll catch you but if you get a mad enough even your closest white friends will call you in there Get a mad enough do I don't know get a mad enough Beat them outpace them out earn them be smarter than them.
It's just a matter of time Because they all think it even when they say sure when you guys can say it
How come I can't say it?
Oh, be my guest.
You absolutely can't.
In fact, use it the way we do.
If that is a word that you use, use it all the time.
Because when we don't hear it, we think that they don't, that they don't actually use the word.
We think that, oh, it's not in their vocabulary.
But sure, when my white friends have never used the N word, no, they've never used it around you.
talked about the mayor of New Berlin who shared posted and reposted things that are anti Muslim anti black and anti woman that went back into a little bit of history about New Berlin where the city of New Berlin got sued by Eric Holder and the US Department of Justice in the Obama administration because there was going to be an affordable housing unit built in New Berlin and the current the mayor of New Berlin at the time got so many threats he had to drop his support
for the affordable housing unit because they threatened him, they vandalized his vehicle, they threatened his wife and they threatened his children because he supported people that were working construction in New Berlin actually having an affordable place to live in New Berlin.
He, the mayor at the time, decided he was going to pull because they were threatening to kill him.
Imagine that.
It's OK to hire the workers to build houses and to build new construction in New Berlin.
But again, but allowing for an affordable housing unit being built with tax credits to be constructed in New Berlin is where they draw the line.
And so the mayor pulls back on his support and ultimately did not run for reelection.
So don't be shocked at the current mayor of New Berlin said some very racist things.
Talked about Nissan asked you guys in the YouTube chat how many of you have ever or do you currently drive a Nissan because Nissan.
an automotive company allowed dealerships to charge black and Hispanic borrowers additional markups and additional fees and additional finance fees to make more profit, but they did not require or let you those fees on on white borrowers and then because we were talking about Nissan in today's JS online racial discrimination lawsuit filed against the Kenosha Nissan dealership, so it looks like they're still at it
and the Nissan lawsuit that I was talking about was 26 years ago but this article dated no a couple of days ago last week Thursday August 20th, 2026 says Kenosha Nissan management threatened several of the car dealerships black employees who reported racial harassment in 2024 according to a lawsuit recently filed in federal court.
The lawsuit filed by the U.S.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on August 18th in U.S.
District Court of Milwaukee states a white sales manager compared one black employee to an animal and assaulted him.
The sales manager also called black employees slow, lazy, and made black employees work in the back of the office instead of the front according to a lawsuit.
The employees are not identified in the lawsuit nor are the general manager or other leadership several employees Resigned for fear of being terminated and Kenosha Nissan fired an employee in retaliation for complaining about the harassment and or because of his race according to the lawsuit There was no record on August 20th for a lawyer representing Kenosha Nissan
Calls and emails sent to the dealership by the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel were not immediately returned.
You guys remember the Q&S dealership where there was a black woman who went there for oil change and they wrote on her oil change sticker, the N word.
And then, so then, I guess it was supposed to be a joke, right?
You guys remember the story?
Ben and Carrie talked about it when they were, when they had a morning show here.
So the Q&S dealership had a service employee change the oil on a black woman's vehicle, wrote Nigger.
on her oil change reminder sticker that they put in the top left corner of your of your vehicle that he expected somebody to remove it like I think it might have been a joke between people that work at the dealership and he thought that somebody would have removed it and they didn't and the woman took the vehicle home so then the woman gets a call from the dealership saying oh can we come to your house we need we left something in your car we can we come to your house no you can't come to my house what you want to come to my house for and then she realized why they wanted to come
to her house to remove the sticker and eventually they were all embarrassed and the cunus dealership did an apology if i'm not mistaken i think they gave away a free car to try and to smooth over the the pr nightmare that that was well i know they have a free car giveaway going on right now and maybe that's to make up for what was a horrible pr nightmare for them but i'm giving you all these examples because black people for some reason are shocked
to find out that white people hate our guts.
And it's damn near all of them.
It really is.
It is.
But we think that they're oh, no, they don't say anything bad about me.
But then there's another story.
This one is bad.
Texas Roadhouse is forced to respond after a disturbing post starts making the rounds online.
Texas Roadhouse has officially responded.
after an anonymous post began circulating online with some very disturbing allegations involving black customers.
So before I get into the details of this one, I've only been to the Texas Roadhouse, I think one time, because it's in West Bend.
I'm not out there very often.
I don't even know what the hell I was doing out there.
I was in, you know, was I buying a car?
What was I doing in West Bend?
It was a long time ago.
Oh, probably 10, 15 years ago, if it was a day.
And somebody said, oh, let's go to Texas Roadhouse.
They got good honey butter.
I don't listen to me.
Hold on now.
You get this shirt went down with some good bread and some butter and I'll be cool.
I don't know what it is about bread and butter.
I can go to town now.
Don't have me go into the cheesecake factory any place where they serve you some good bread and butter.
That's all I need.
That's an appetizer.
Or if I go to go to the Italians, you know, you go to a Italian restaurant.
Here's what you do when you get some good Italian bread at an Italian restaurant.
I should I get Italian some credit Italians know how to eat now They eat a big monster Choles and lasagna.
I went to the Olive Garden not too long ago.
We went for my brother's birthday.
I love some Olive Garden It's not real real Italian food, but it's Italian enough Are you a fan of balasteries?
They got a couple of balasteries you got one on
66 some blue mound and another one on like 68th and What is that state street something like that?
I'm thinking of the one on blue mound.
It's it's you can get good Italian food any damn way It's all it's you got good pizza everywhere.
I'm not having no damn arguing with people who got the best damn chicken wings No has the best chicken wings everyone shut up about the damn chicken wings But here's what you do with the Italians because the Italians had that good olive oil
Olive oil is one of those things where quality is commensurate with price.
So if you pay
$37 for a bottle of olive oil.
That's going to be some good olive oil.
Get it infused.
Maybe with a little garlic infused, some kind of herb infused olive oil.
You can cook with it, but it's got a low smoke point now.
You can't fry stuff.
You can't deep fry stuff in the olive oil, but olive oil is good, clean, healthy oil.
But here's what you do with the good olive oil.
It's got to be good olive oil.
It can't be no cheap stuff.
Don't get no Kroger olive oil.
Get something with an Italian name you can't pronounce.
with a bunch of apostrophes and a bunch of like Z's in it.
Get something that's real Italian.
But here's what you do.
You just some good Italian bread.
Okay.
And you get you a little dish.
And you pour out some of that good olive oil.
Maybe that garlic, herb infused olive oil into that little dish.
You're not done yet.
Listen to me.
I'm trying to teach you how to eat.
Now y'all don't know how to eat, right?
You get you some Parmesan cheese.
You sprinkle some of that Parmesan cheese on that good urban fuse garlic and fuels olive oil.
Okay,
listen, you're not done yet Keep listening to me.
You don't know how to eat.
I'm gonna teach you how to eat
You get you a piece of that good crusty Italian bread that fresh Italian bread is crusty on the outside soft on the inside You know what I'm talking about like a mean woman hard exterior soft on the inside and you stop
Okay, you take some of that bread you got to break it you got to break that bread Get you a nice little piece of that a crusty Italian bread and you stop it in that good urban fuse garlic infuse olive oil with that Parmesan cheese get you a good stop
Don't do no weak stop stop like you mean it
You
dip it let it sit for a thing let it soak let it marinate
Don't get too fancy with and throw you a couple little red pepper flakes there now you want to slap somebody You know what I mean?
That's how you got to do it with the Italian.
What was I even talking about?
I just got wrapped up in Texas Roadhouse has officially responded after an anonymous post began circulating online with some very disturbing allegations involving guess who black customers And know this has nothing to do with Donald Trump, but here's what Donald Trump did
He said something that we missed or We we made it seem like it was something else like when Donald Trump says something He's not smart enough to have any double-on tondra when he says it he means it We got to listen to him.
He said I'll be your retribution Let put your faith in me do sounded almost biblical when he said it I'll be your retribution If you hate them, I will create policies that will show how much we hate them
You're not successful.
You're not doing well economy ain't doing well for you.
How about this?
I'll punish them.
I'll lock them up.
I'll send them back I will deport them with no due process I will have white warrantless searches of their own even if they're American citizens don't matter if they fit the bill I'll take them out.
Oh the blacks.
Oh, we got them.
They're easy to fool
We'll take away everything that gives them an opportunity.
We'll make it harder for them to go to school.
We'll make it so that colleges can't look at race.
Even if colleges have a history of racial discrimination, we'll make college more expensive.
We'll take away their scholarship.
We're going to take away affirmative action.
We're going to take away DEI.
They will suffer.
We'll also reduce the amount of money that the federal government invests in cancer research.
Because what we've found is that when the federal government invests in cancer research,
Guess who survival rates go up?
You guessed it, black people.
That's DEI to cut it all out.
I will be your rich rebution and he didn't lie.
Not one time.
That's the only thing he didn't lie about.
But for some reason that flew over our heads.
They hate us.
And I guess the thing, they're going to get mad at me for doing this show because they never wanted to expose.
I know how much they hate us and I can appreciate their passion.
I really can and I know I don't go into their places into their spaces because for what?
I think I'm going out of my way to go to some damn restaurant in Waukesha that y'all find.
Are y'all insane?
You know what they're doing to your food?
And I know this because I know somebody who worked at a restaurant that got fired for spitting in the food.
I know that when we had a co-op, so at Brown Deer High School, if you were a senior, you could have you could spend seventh and eighth hour at a job if you had a job somewhere.
Okay, there was a McDonald's on Rean Bay Road here.
Imagine this.
They tore it down McDonald's.
Hey, I don't even exist no more.
How you tear it out of McDonald's?
McDonald's always gonna make money because it's always fat people.
And nuggets are delicious and so is the Big Mac.
That's why the Big Mac been on the menu for
It's delicious.
I don't care what you say.
You can hate fast food all you want.
It's not good for you.
You're not supposed to eat it every day.
But every now and again, if I give me a good hot fresh Big Mac, my toes curl.
I sometimes I take a Big Mac over a date with a woman.
You know what I mean?
Sometimes the woman gonna give you way more headache.
I ain't never been disappointed by Big Mac even if it ain't fresh it's still better than a woman with a bad attitude.
You know what I'm saying?
And I already know how much the Big Mac gonna cause.
That woman might cost you a whole bunch.
She might cost you 18 years lost to child support.
You would have wished you would have got that Big Mac.
Big Mac it spends like $6.99.
That's alright.
I'll pay $6.99 once.
Sit in my car.
Put on some Kenny G Take off my shirt Sitting apart.
I got ten in windows.
Don't worry about what I do in my car.
Why y'all always in my business worried about what I'm doing I Need to get yourself some business depends on the woman It always depends on the woman, but I hear they they over here defending Lizzie Lindsey Clancy You can have them you can have all them women.
Yeah, you know
Yeah, lady was trying to tell me that this uh this weekend An anonymous person claimed the white servers were spitting in the food of black customers and even mentioned a Facebook group called white servers only I'm I wish I could be a member of that group.
I think they've since taken the group down y'all have no idea when they see us coming how bad They want us to leave I Got friends at own restaurants and he's had to fire servers because when he hears them
arguing about who's gonna take the black table and nobody wants to take
that's why we sit there you ever go to a restaurant and just you sit there and everybody else
getting seated everybody else gotta take you still sitting there you still sitting there or you at a restaurant ain't nobody coming to greet you
Anybody coming to sell will see you in a sec.
Anybody coming because the servers are arguing because nobody wants you in their section.
We need to know and understand this.
They don't want us and they colonize our neighborhood.
Look how many Chinese food restaurants we got in our community.
Look how many Mexican food trucks just come plop themselves down in the black community.
That has taken our economics and it is competing against black owned restaurants.
Let me tell you how it used to be in Milwaukee.
A lot of folks don't know this history.
If you had an Irish bakery in Milwaukee, say around the turn of the 20th century, back when the Irish and the Italians and the Poles, they all hated each other.
And the Germans and the Jews, all the white folks, because we weren't up here yet.
When we came up here, then they all could direct their hate toward us.
But before we got here, all the white folks used to hate each other.
In fact, the labor massacre in Bayview in 1880, that was white people killing each other.
So let's say you got a permit to open.
You're Irish.
You got a little Irish bakery, whatever, because back then everything was about ethnicity.
Now you can't really use ethnicity.
Now, like you could back then, because if you were Irish, you had a Irish bakery, then all the Irish immigrants, that's where they would go.
You were from Ireland you were you were from the homeland they wanted to support you they wanted to provide you with With profit if you're Irish you saw I got an Irish Baker.
Oh, you do I'll go I'm Irish too.
My name is McClurkin McMurray Mickey Whatever the mix are You go to the Irish Baker, but if you got Your little Irish bakery in an Italian neighborhood like in a third Ward you open up your little Irish bakery
An Italian neighbor, you know what the Italians would do?
Oh, okay.
You want it?
It will bust out your windows.
They will destroy your store and it said, you got a couple options.
This is what they used to do to keep their neighborhoods ethnically clean so that no other ethnicity was taken profit away from their community.
We as black folks don't do this.
We welcome every damn body.
Not only do we invite anybody and everybody to the barbecue.
Come on and open up your business in our neighborhood.
Please extract more profit and more income from the black community so we have less money to spend with our own Y'all stop chipping over these damn grocery stores closing because y'all spending your money at the damn taco truck Ain't going to no damn grocery store one or one of grocery stores closing.
First of all, y'all can't cook White women can't cook either.
You know what they call it girl dinner
I'm fascinated by how they're almost exactly the same, but they'll have cute little names for the fact that they don't know anything about domestic duties.
I did a girl dinner and I'm watching this TikTok video with my mouth wide open because I'm just a gas at what girl dinner.
You
know what this bra did?
I got some leftover rice to put some salt on it.
Girl dinner.
Oh, you can't cook.
No, it's not that I can't cook.
It's girl dinner.
I don't know who the hell invented.
A charcuterie board?
We're having girl dinner.
eating the lunchable?
What olives?
We're
White girl talking about she making dinner.
She making Kraft macaroni and cheese and the noodles be crunchy.
You know what I mean?
Come on, ladies.
Call it girl dinner.
I can't cook.
We're going to call it girl dinner.
What are you eating?
One microwaved potato.
Girl dinner.
But no, we don't cook either.
Damn food for all these damn Chinese restaurants in our neighborhood.
Why would you go to girls?
You can go get you some egg rolls.
You know what I'm saying?
The an honest person claimed that white servers were spitting in the food of black customers and even mentioned a Facebook group called white servers only.
Those are some extremely serious accusations at this time No evidence has been released confirming that anybody's food was actually tampered with of course not not gonna admit that that's a big felony So at the co-op that we had the McDonald's on Green Bay Road and Brown is back in the early 90s When they found out a cop was in a drive-through Because the burger patties are frozen they put them in this thing called a queue
Q is something that heats the burger patty up and then they make your double cheeseburger They make you quarter pounder.
They make you big man They would play hockey with the frozen patties if they knew that a cop was in the drive-thru and this I knew for an absolute fact and this is 30 some years ago You think with how they feel about us right now that they don't spit in our food And we go into these restaurants and we act a fool don't we?
No, I need more.
They bring me three more limited.
No, I don't want to pay for this.
We split in this tab seven way.
You honestly think that they're going to serve your food with his thing.
They're going to smile at you.
They're going to be very nice because I'm reading the comments on this.
This Texas Roadhouse post and I feel so bad for the black folks because they over here saying, but every time I go to Texas Roadhouse, they treat me with respect and they smile at me.
Because you don't need to be mean to somebody if you spit in their food.
You should be nice because if you're mean and have an attitude, then you might suspect, uh-oh, I maybe shouldn't trust this server.
They're giving me a mean look.
But if they bring that hamburger out, it's got extra sauce on it and don't even, it's probably not ranch.
Y'all be careful.
That may not be ranch.
I don't know.
I'll bring my own ranch.
I'll bring my own bottle of Hidden Valley.
I ain't trusting that ranch.
Don't you do it.
Yeah, can I get an extra thing of ranch?
Sure and what's crazy is you might have a waitress But it's a waiter that brings the ranch.
Don't do it.
you do that
Don't touch that dial.

It was going on here in the YouTube.
Linda says, Oh, good Lord.
Sherwin, I want to talk about why you.
Sugar, honey, iced tea on compliments.
You need to learn how to accept and receive compliments by sincere black women.
Period.
Linda, you make it weird.
That's why you make it weird.
You make it uncomfortable.
you make it overly sexual.
And I bring this up because if if a man made the same kinds of comments to a female host, nobody would stand for it.
But for some y'all got to chill with that.
I think that's the truth that men want.
We don't want to hear.
We only want to hear compliments from the people we want to hear compliments from.
You can't make sexual compliments to everybody.
That's disgusting and unwanted.
I mean, you I had to you put it in the YouTube chat.
So I had to give you a little bit of honesty now.
That's what we gonna do.
We gonna be honest.
We want the white people to be honest with us, too But how much they ate our guts?
Almost wish they could put signs up that say no blacks allowed then you would know not to go in there Because wouldn't you rather know I'd rather know it might hurt my feelings at first especially if I saw it like a Burger King Hi from this point forward Burger King will no longer be serving blacks.
I mean darn it.
I Wanted a fish sandwich I would rather know instead of living in ignorance because
They're gonna get their revenge if they don't want us Then they're gonna find a way To be micro aggressive to do something that is sublime to do something that we don't notice and here we are thinking we're getting a good experience They really don't like us and if the criminal justice system isn't an indicator if the education system isn't an indicator
If the generation after generation of lack of black home ownership lack of policy that addresses some of these fundamental issues like that's not an indicator They really don't like us the way they treated Barack Obama the way Donald Trump runs for president three times and got worse and worse and worse each successive run and wins two out of three times now his platform is as over
but overtly racial as one can possibly get.
And he's still above a 50 50% approval rating and several Southern and interior mountain states still that that needs to be a wake up call for us.
Insane.
All right.
There is a provocative but historically recognizable way to describe.
The economic structure of predominantly black neighborhoods in Milwaukee, more specifically on the north side.
The people live there.
The people work.
The people earn money.
The people spend money, but comparatively little of that land, housing, commercial property, business, or appreciating capital is owned by people who live there.
When you think about it, black people, our home ownership rate is 27%.
73% of black people are renting.
We are sharecropping real estate.
And if your rent goes up and your wages don't, you can very easily go into debt or remain deep in the throes of poverty just to live.
There's no extras.
There's no vacation money.
There's no money you're putting away for a rainy day.
But for some reason we have this weird, not all black people.
Let me be clear.
Some of y'all know money very, very well.
We look at money in terms of income.
How much money do you make?
Oh, I make a hundred thousand Oh, I make a hundred and twenty thousand and we think that's the pinnacle We think that we've made it But if you make a hundred thousand dollars a year which I suppose for a single person with no kids That's a decent salary.
You can be okay with that But if you got a fifteen hundred dollar a month car payment, you're paying thirty five hundred dollars a month for rent You're still living check to check it is not about how much money you make because we think if we make a bunch of money We can floss we can act a fool
We can brag.
You know what?
I hate seeing people.
They got a big stack of cash and they hold it up to their ear like it's a telephone and they brag and they got a big stack of cash.
When I see people with big stack of cash, I think to myself, I hope you get robbed because that will teach you not to walk around with cash because real money, real people with real money, they don't have cash.
They got bank statements.
Ask that same person what a stack of cash to show you their quarterly 401k statement.
I bet today ain't got one.
It's not about your income.
It's about how much money you have that you don't have to touch If some people making $30,000 a year But have $490,000 in an account earning interest where they're okay making $30,000 a year Oh, and by the way, their house is paid for their cars paid for now that might be driving in 2002 Honda Civic.
That's the thing about white folks They don't care about cars like that
They will drive that Honda Accord Until the wheels fall off they have a no damn car payment because cars don't appreciate in value Some of the richest people that I've known have driven some of the most raggedy cars ever But it's also a good smoke screen some of the richest people I've ever known dressed like bums Or it looks like they do they're just wearing some jeans and a t-shirt a t-shirt is $700 though and they have 12 of them Like dang
What kind of car is that you driving?
Oh, this right here, Sherwin?
Oh, this, this is my old reliable.
No, it gets me from A to B. You already know when they say something like that.
Oh yeah, just, this is my, you know, it's just a vehicle.
It's not that big of a deal.
This is a pre-civil war.
This is a slavery Honda.
I got a 1859 Honda carriage.
Yeah, yeah, no, no, they're very reliable.
If you look, it still smells like Civil War in it.
Yep.
Yeah, I'm not gonna replace this till the wheels fall off of it.
How many miles does it have on 30 billion?
Oh, yeah, no.
We used to take summer vacations to the sun.
We drove to the moon last month to go visit my in-laws.
But not us.
We get us look at me when I first got out of college.
I'm buying me a new car pay $571 a month not knowing that I was getting ripped off by Nissan and ended up being in a class action lawsuit And let me tell you how Nissan settled the class action lawsuit where they essentially admitted without admitting that they allowed dealerships to charge Black and Hispanic borrowers hired service fees and finance fees.
Here's how they settled the lawsuit by offering
black customers, low interest financing on the next Nissan that they buy.
That's how they settled it.
So I get this card in the mail saying I was a member of the class because I was automatically entered into the class.
Like, oh, here, we'll give you low interest financing when you come back and buy your next Nissan from Rose and Rose and Rose.
And I said, no, thank you, no, thank you, no, thank you.
I got a Land Rover after that.
That was another one.
You couldn't tell me nothing when I was in that Land Rover.
When I had that Land Rover I would I'd go pick the daughter up one night and next I pick up the mama Couldn't you couldn't tell me nothing when I had that Land Rover black with the tan interior I come up the street.
Oh, no Here comes Sherwin He picked my grandmother up last night darn it.
I hate that I Hate that Sherwin you're listening to the truth
with Sherwin Hughes on 101.7 FM.
I'll be right back.
Don't touch that dial.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be right back on 101.7 The Truth, The Truth App and 101.7TheTruth.com.
This is The Truth with Sherwin Hughes on 101.7 The Truth, The Truth App and
That's
Don't let this fool you this is some AI slop Forget flags armies and governors for a moment from an economic standpoint colonial systems frequently operated according to a simple arrangement
resource extraction, external ownership, and wealth leaves.
The colony supplied labor, consumers, land, or raw materials.
Outside owners control much of the productive capital.
The local population participated in the economy, but captured a small portion of the accumulated wealth.
That distinction between participating in an economy and owning an economy is critical.
A worker receives wages, a consumer buys products, a renter purchases housing services, but an owner can accumulate equity, appreciation, profits, and an asset that can be transferred to the next generation.
That brings us to Milwaukee.
Zip Code 53206 makes the analogy unusually easy to understand, so I'm trying to illustrate.
that the north side of the city of Milwaukee is essentially a colony in which black people are there to provide resources, their money and their income to other interests that are oftentimes not black and that is how the money leaves our community.
The other thing is if you inject income into the black community, somebody else is going to get it back.
Just like if we got reparations and I don't know what the reparations check is going to be, is it 20,000?
Is it 200,000?
Think about who we would give the money to think about what we would buy.
Think about what communities would receive all of our reparations.
So any money that you inject into the black community and it could be like social service resource.
Somebody is getting that money and somebody is going to get rich and it's not us.
Consider five three two zero six one of Milwaukee's overwhelmingly black zip codes.
Current 2020 through 2024 American Community Survey puts its population at about 19,900 people.
And the average household income, this is the household, is $29,336 per capita income is roughly $19,986.
and approximately 40.5% of residents in 53206 live below the poverty line.
So the poverty line is extreme poverty.
You could be 50% above, 75% above, even 100% above the federal poverty line for a family of four and you still are not making it.
So the fact that 40.5% live below it is
It's just about as bad as you can possibly get.
So the household income on average in 53206 is less than 30 grand a year, $29,336.
Well, let's compare that to Milwaukee overall.
What do you think the average income in the city of Milwaukee is?
Now, this is not an expensive city.
I know our taxes have gone up.
Know the cost of living is gone up, but compare Milwaukee to a New York and LA of Miami or even a Chicago It's a lot cheaper a lot less expensive, right?
Milwaukee average income 54,234 dollars 5306 average income 29,000
$336 the average income of a Milwaukee and outside of 5 3 2 0 6 is $30,000 more you're you would think just move out of that zip code and automatically your money's gonna go up It's $78,218 for the Milwaukee Walker Shaw metro area Average household income so in 5 3 2 0 6 is 29,336
Average income for a Wisconsin family is $77,485.
Average income nationally, almost $81,000 a year.
In other words, the typical 5-3-2-0-6 household is operating at roughly 37 cents for every dollar of average household income in the surrounding area.
$0.37 on the dollar is what you are making compared to someone who lives seven miles away.
There are approximately 7,572 occupied housing units and 53206.
68% are rented.
So.
32% are owned so 5131 or 67.8% of those housing units are rents are occupied 32.2% are owner occupied and remember that the home ownership rate for the zip code not specifically the black home ownership rate writ large across the metropolitan area the black home ownership rate is only 27.5%
The African-American leadership milk African-American Alliance Index whatever that is ranked Milwaukee 49th out of 50th when it comes to black home ownership That's not good.
I wonder who's worse
Think of two families paying $1,000 every month for housing.
Family A owns its house.
Some portion of its payment eventually becomes home equity.
The house can appreciate.
The family can potentially borrow against the value of their home.
Eventually, the mortgage disappears.
The house can be passed to the children.
Family B rents.
The family receives something valuable housing, but its rent primarily becomes revenue for the property owner.
After 20 years, family B that rents
may have spent $200,000 on housing without acquiring any real estate whatsoever.
That doesn't make the landlord inherently exploitative, but it illustrates the difference between consumption and accumulation.
Black Milwaukeeans today are obviously not literal sharecroppers.
Historically, sharecropping emerged after slavery and involved agricultural laborers working land they did not own.
However, the economic resemblance to 53206 in 2026, the resemblance is worth discussing.
The sharecroppers fundamental problem was, quote, I work, but I don't own the product asset.
For many poor households the problem becomes I work, but I don't own many appreciating assets the paycheck comes in then rent takes some utility takes some transportation takes some food takes some debt takes some insurance takes some Retail takes some and the household starts the next month all over again The person may be working continuously while accumulating very little capital
That is the modern parallel, not forced agricultural labor, but labor without any kind of ownership.
We essentially are living on a sharecropping colony.
Imagine Black Milwaukee as a bucket.
There's a hole in the bucket, dear Eliza.
Every payday water gets poured into the bucket.
The water represents wages, social security, government benefits, pensions, tax refunds, and other income.
How much water enters the bucket is not the important question, but how many holes are in the bucket and who owns the pipes attached to the holes?
If residents pay rents or property owners outside the neighborhood money leaves Household balance sheets if they shop at corporations headquartered elsewhere Profits ultimately flow outside of the neighborhood.
I feel bad cuz I bought these pants.
I'm wearing that colds.
I thought colds was inexpensive Colds cost a lot of money
Somebody lied to me I Went to the Coles I shouldn't even admit this but where else can't where can you get clothes owned by black people do black people own clothing store?
Yes of stuff that I want to buy though.
I don't want no ripped jeans with graffiti on a booty I want a graffiti booty jeans.
I'm 51 years old.
I can't work graffiti booty.
Yeah, go right down the street to unfinished legacy Actually, my friend owns it.
I don't want to shop where you shop.
How the hell I look?
I can't stand when old people look young, try to dress and be 50 years old, got arthritis and over here wearing a brand new Jordans.
You're too old, sir.
Even though Jordans are our generation,
you're never too old for Jordans.
Look who we got in studio today
Those are good walking shoes
Because said you had more thoughts if you were if you had Jordans on
I'm just gonna wear slippers.
Let's wear some house shoes oh Cuz then I'll be mr. Hughes mr. Hughes Where where are your shoes shut up?
I'm in a wheelchair wearing a bib
And if neighborhood businesses are owned by people who reside elsewhere, some portion of the profits similarly leave.
Money entering a neighborhood is not the same thing as wealth remaining in the neighborhood.
The Chinese restaurant, Middle Eastern gas station and Mexican food truck examples is one of the many analogies that harms black economics.
I'm gonna take a break, come back.
We're over here living on a colony.
Texas Roadhouse had to come up with an official statement denouncing that people are spitting in black people's food in 2011 the Obama administration had to sue the city of New Berlin because they didn't want an affordable housing complex Built in their neighborhood The mayor of New Berlin didn't run for reelection because he got death threats.
They threatened him.
They slashed his tires.
They threatened his children
because he supported affordable housing in New Berlin, New Berlin residents didn't want black people moving into the neighborhoods so they threatened the mayor because of his support.
For the damn affordable housing project.
And then you have the current mayor of New Berlin posting anti black anti Muslim sentiments.
on his public Facebook page.
I'm giving you all of this information to show the racism is alive and well, and we choose to ignore it or we are shocked when they tell us how they actually feel about us.
On Friday, the Brewers had a black cultural exhibition showcasing the impact and the importance of African Americans, not just on Major League Baseball, but on culture as a whole.
And the comment section was full of every single racial.
racist and racial epithets you could ever think of.
And the black people are in the comments saying, why are you saying this about us?
Why are you so mean?
It's amazing that we are still shocked when we find out they're speaking their truth about how they feel about us.
You go to a restaurant.
You're wondering why nobody is coming to greet you.
You're wondering why nobody is seating you.
You're just standing there.
You're standing there because the servers are arguing because they don't want us in their section.
But what do we do?
We go to the damn restaurant, do a food review and give everybody a 10 out of 10.
Oh, I'd come here again.
Not knowing they're probably spitting your food.
And then we want to split the check 13 ways.
I'm not telling y'all to change anything that you do.
I'm just telling you to be aware.
They really don't like us very much.
The truth with Sherwin Hughes will be
right back.

Yes cuffing season now Got any prospects
lady be sure to cuff.
I'm cool.
I'm straight.
I don't Y'all think it's funny like my safety is in jeopardy when I leave vows, but you know where I spend my time
Where bullets and black fists can't reach I'm on the water I'm I was on the boat all weekend.
They it's so peaceful.
It's just water a lot of whites But they see you out on the water they just be waving at you and thumbing up you can swim No,
so you're on a boat and you can't swim.
You don't got a life jacket
So you can't even doggy paddle.
That's insane.
And my friend that we took the damn boats of ball play.
We took the race scene a couple of weekends ago.
They got a really nice harbor there.
But sometimes when you get a little chop.
And the boat is very fast.
So I don't know.
We'll be going 40 or 50 miles an hour on water is like going 100 miles an hour on land.
It is insanely fast.
So every night again, they'll be They'll be like a little wave and if you're going 50 miles an hour and you hit that wave pop You fly up in there and you come back down and you hit another wave pop and you come back down There's another wave crest pop like you kind of you're flying up out the boat and if I'm not hanging on or something I'll be in Lake Michigan I'm done for but I just hope that I don't fall out the boat I am falling out the boat.
Yeah, plus I'd rather be out on the water I post my pictures on
Snapchat I post or I post them on my Twitter.
Follow me on the Twitter.
I post them on my Instagram.
So y'all be on land fighting and shooting.
I don't hear a single gunshot on the water.
None.
I'm just out there riding around.
Having me a beverage.
Sometimes I drive the boat.
Sometimes I'm a passenger in the boat.
I'm not.
It's too much trouble on land.
I spent my summer on water.
I don't need to be real is that?
Throwing punches and can jump by why ends?
Are you reckless drivers?
No, thank you.
I don't want to have nothing to do with that.
I like seclusion.
That's why I'm not going to tell y'all where I go.
I will recommend great places.
Absolutely I will.
I want you guys to go and have a good time and explore Milwaukee.
but do so with a little bit of caution, of course, but typically the places that I recommend are safe.
But don't act a fool, please act like you got a little bit of sense, like you got a little taste of some home training.
Because y'all can't be going to these and then you're going to drop my name.
Well, Sherwin told me to come here.
No Sherwin did not.
I didn't tell you to act like that.
Unbelievable.
Texas Roadhouse responds after disturbing post starts making the rounds online Texas Roadhouse has officially responded after an anonymous post began circulate circulating online with some very disturbing allegations involving black customers the anonymous person claimed that white servers were spitting in the food of black customers and even mentioned a Facebook group called white servers only I Wonder if let me tell you what's crazy.
So I'm reading this off of Facebook
When I pull up facebook.com on our in-studio computer, you know who's Facebook login comes up been jamming I'm not gonna log in though because that wouldn't be very nice Yeah, just be aware ladies and gentlemen that all the glitters is not gold and maybe we should Maybe stop inviting people to our barbecues because When was the last time they invited you to one of theirs?
