Truth of the morning on the award winning one on one seven the truth fm Listen Bailey Cove and how you feeling you good?

Okay, so I we had a call and there was somebody that was from the the message that we had was wanted to talk about brother love and We didn't have enough information I

guess Xavier well the guy's name was Ken and he wanted to talk about brother love so Ken you should call back

And Homer would love to talk to you about Brother Love.

Is that it?

Yeah, we just went to break.

And I think he thought we had him off.

Yeah.

You talk about Brother Love.

I know they played his clip just before we came on the air.

Yeah.

Well, you know, they

played that show back.

A lot of the shows ended up playing and talking about that call from me filling in.

Tappany and for Jazz Tyler and one of the criminal complaints that I read talked about Really pedophilia where it is Man said that you know if it's too consenting people How am I getting charged for this one am I getting charged you can't charge nobody but with two consenting people and the person that he was

Speaking of was 15.

And there was talk that he may have started, you know, and in the brief time of April through August 2nd, all of this year, 2026, he had allegedly had sex with her three times.

This is his stepdaughter.

So,

you know,

when we ended up getting that call since we're here.

Um, it was just baffling because I clearly stated like what the situation was and for him to say that, uh, well, what are they being supposed to do?

They got a release.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, yeah.

So it's crazy.

It is, uh, yeah, in my opinion, it is crazy.

So hashtag that part hashtag fact.

So if I'm not going to be mad if I don't have to go revisit it.

But we do need to know that these kind of people are out here.

Yeah.

People that feel this way and think that way.

He even talked about some of his other friends that were locked up because of it.

Wow.

So yeah.

But wow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's truly a wow.

It's like.

But yeah, we again have to do better if we want to see better.

Lime scooter.

Yeah, you

saw that.

Yeah.

I know you have a little chuckle.

Yeah.

But these people be disrespectful with these line scooters.

Some of these people

and he got this guy got caught up.

Now this video you can put on.

You can put on our YouTube.

So

everybody is so.

CBS 58.

I'll see if I can try to get it to you, but it's on CBS 58.

Surveillance captures e scooter rider tumbling through the air after crashing into a car in Milwaukee's intersection.

It's crazy.

It's crazy.

Let's see if I can end up finding that mark too.

Send it to you.

I'll see if I can send it to you.

You don't see it.

But yeah, this is one that Bailey sent.

I was like, what the hell?

I was just like.

Yeah.

Unfortunately, it's like nothing surprises.

Nothing.

Me anymore.

Nothing.

No.

No.

Because.

I've.

Yeah.

I've seen too much.

You've seen too much.

And I wish that it wouldn't be this way.

I wish it wouldn't be this way, but it is.

And I'm working to do my part to.

I got it.

Change the narrative.

You said that.

Yeah, I'm going to.

Yeah.

To change the narrative.

Because.

It's it's that old of they call us animals.

I don't agree with them.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah,

we

got too much of the same kind of things that are happening and I think I Think I'm tired of the ENC's excuses and complaints of people trying to come up with a reason why they're doing this and these people a lot of them are making their own choices

Yeah.

And when we try to say, well, it's because of the poverty level and this, that and the other, like people had to stop you.

Poverty is not new.

Mm hmm.

We still had a neighborhood.

We still had a community.

We, you couldn't even really tell some of us that we were poor.

You know what I'm saying?

You couldn't even, you know, people didn't know like, oh, wow, we poor.

Yeah.

Because.

We made poor it look good.

Yeah, we

did and Even when we talk about The generations even before me where they wore the same shoes and all of that kind of stuff I wouldn't hear for that, but I'm just saying I know the stories and the history of it and when we would hear our season citizens tell us about like

Yeah, I think this is something.

Look at how

we

walked the

school.

Yeah.

And all that kind

of stuff.

We

walked 50 miles in the snow

just to go

to school.

I wouldn't have made it.

You know what I'm saying?

But so we hear and see all of these things, but we still were unified.

Like we were united in our communities.

You know, we were united.

And that unity has.

been divided so much and I don't blame all of that on the system because the system was in place.

We had Claudine where you know you had to hide the man's shoes and all of that.

A lot of these people now they openly uh living with the the man and and you know what I'm saying?

Like like it ain't nothing.

Yeah.

So I'm saying that if we

Didn't even have as many opportunities in my opinion as this generation and the generation, you know what I mean?

Yeah, like come on Why why are we trying to say?

Well, you know, well, you know how dope is heroin was out there taking people out.

Yeah Alcohol was taking people out.

Mm-hmm.

So these things in my opinion are not new

So when we try to act like these differences are so new to what we had to deal with and we didn't have social media.

You feel what I'm saying?

But again, even when you think black, let's go black to the boycotts and the things that Dr. King and other people had to deal with, they didn't have no Facebook to send a message or email to send no message.

But guess what?

It went throughout the whole black community.

It went.

Throughout the whole black community and we knew what it was and we stood on business to do what we needed to do so Why why when we have so much?

You know, we're overexposed with things that we could end up Changing the narratives on how we are living Finding out where places are where you can get the resources that you need if the government isn't the government wasn't supplying

Our people from black in the day nothing nothing They were supplying them nothing at all and they still made things work.

Yeah But here we are With more at our fingertips.

Mm-hmm.

We can research things that we don't know and It seems like we've reverted black words

further then, you know what I'm saying?

Oh yeah.

Then we're, you know, it's like the accomplishments that we should be able to stand on and tout that, okay, so here's what we took and now we made it to where we can do this, we can do that.

There was a time that, you know, the orange man with all this stuff that he's trying to do, it would have never been tolerated even though we weren't the majority.

I mean, in that sense of saying, well, we're going to do this.

We knew how to revolt and we revolted.

Well, one thing that I could say, you know, even with him coming in office, you know, we have a small minority of people within our community that are doing all these things and they just not up to par.

But we're resilient people.

While everybody else was freaking out and continue to freak out, we're like, no, we don't, we don't survive.

We don't make it through.

What y'all gonna do, I don't know that's all you

but

that's what you wanted.

That's who you voted for So good luck, right?

Well, we'll be fine It's gonna be tough, but you know, I mean, it's not nothing that we haven't dealt with before

Yeah, well this is because people are that look like us are killing us at a higher rate than what you could think of from black in the day like

No, we understood.

You don't understand.

We understood.

It wasn't.

And again, there was guidance, the whole block, the whole, you know, not only Europe block, but all of the blocks were pretty much in unison with no, you see some make that call.

You can live on 14th street, somebody from 16th street is going to call your mother, call your father, call your grandparents, whoever it may be and be like, look.

I've seen him or her over here clowning.

Now I told them, I stopped them, but I just need to let you know that they were out here.

And you weren't allowed to misrepresent a family's name.

Our family name was what it was.

You feel what I'm saying?

We stand on that legacy.

We stood on that legacy.

Now.

They don't care about that.

That ain't listen.

They don't care about that.

I don't care.

It hurts though, baby.

It hurts.

It hurts to see it because I know and I study the history from where we came, what we didn't have and what we made still work.

And it's like it's oftentimes just shocked the hell now.

Like, so that was the end.

We, you know, we ain't, we ain't there.

We this, but yeah, but.

Y'all could be doing so much more instead of talking about the prison pipeline and Then falling right into it You think they didn't do things black then that could have sent people to jail.

They took you for nothing Period.

Mm-hmm.

So we gotta get ready take care of some bills You're listening to truth in the morning on the award-winning one-on-one seven FM the truth

Welcome black truth in the morning.

Bailey, how you doing and feeling?

You know, we're talking about the state of some of the things going on in our community and how it seems like we went black words in a lot of areas that ended up teaching us, you know,

the different morals and values that we have and how important it is that we learn that we got to live together.

Right.

You know, because, you know, you hear people say we all we got.

We all we got.

But if we taking each other out, if we're, you know, just continuing to take from us.

And let me just say before this excuse comes up again, I'm allergic to ANC's excuses and complaints.

I've addressed this before.

Before we hear it is, well, you know, it's because of proximity where we are.

You know how many white people are living on 20th and Burlai?

And in so many different areas, if people keep it 1,000, you will acknowledge that there's a lot of white people that live in inner city areas now that we didn't expect them to be living.

They used to live there long ago, as Luther would say, but then they took white flight.

We getting up out of here, we getting up out of here.

And we thought we were the Jeppresses when we got in some of them homes like, ooh, look at, ooh, they got a five place.

Ooh, look at this.

Oh, this is a beautiful home.

Oh, it's brick and mortar.

Oh my goodness.

Look at the sun porch.

Oh, it's got a sun porch.

You know what I mean?

So we, we thought like, hey.

Heaven?

That's just like when some people moved out to Northridge Lakes.

See, they were there when Northridge Lakes weren't inhabited by black people, in my opinion.

You know what I'm saying?

If you found somebody black that lived out at Northridge Lakes when they were first there, you'd have been like, ooh.

Well, they were

all, listen, they were called Northridge Lakes.

And there was only, like, it was all one, one big.

You know owned by

one company.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was called north everything out Northridge Lake Now you go up in there each apartment building is owned by a different company Every apartment building out there is owned by a different company What is that

listen listen,

and you know what you didn't and they're painted different colors

Did you

notice that

yes,

they're painted different colors

by being used

right?

Yeah, so each one of those buildings out there that used to be one big complex owned by one company Is now You know and it's very hood.

Mm-hmm.

They're all owned by individual, you know,

when you say very good.

What do you mean, baby?

That video that video we were talking about earlier could have very well taken place I'm just saying

I'm not lying and it's it's sad it is you know I'm saying it's sad because it's the truth and and the the laughter that you're hearing is because most of the time we're laughing to keep from crying because it's so

Let's

say this there are some buildings that are in there.

There are some apartments in there that are really good.

Hey,

yeah,

but it's a shame that they're surrounded They come in there There are some and there are some there are actually houses and condos a couple condos and houses and stuff in there Really nice,

right?

Right,

but what they're surrounded by

you

know is it's not good.

It's not good in a

Yeah.

And, and, and again, like it used to

be like a symbol of status.

It

did.

It's a little brown deer in itself.

Yeah.

Used to be a symbol of status.

Yeah.

Until like.

Yeah.

Oh, sure.

And, and it makes you really wonder like what is the common denominator of those areas that used to be when we got a used to word used to be.

You're cutting in.

It's the truth They go over there and they come out with their shower caps they bonnet on pants hanging down to the Wattusi and

then Don't you don't you don't you start taking the smoke

It's your people in there.

It is.

Booking them over there.

It is.

People with

kids, it's very prominent over there.

People with kids.

And then also, towards the rest of the adults, they all live over there.

Nurse Aaron Kowanda, great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

Thank you again, Homer.

I thought of you when I went to buy my cranberry juice yesterday.

Cranberry

apple

juice.

I can hear you boy.

Cranberry apple juice.

The

Walmart great value brand Glad you could get that Anita Nicole said all facts over they took flight We moved in and the rest is history.

Yeah, and it's it's a sad history.

Yeah, because again

in those North Ridge Lakes apartments, they had spiral staircases and you really thought you were some of you.

Oh, where we live now, we got a spiral staircase.

Some people did not coming from where they may have originally moved from.

They didn't do.

Listen, it, it was a rule of thumb.

Yes,

if we were getting ready to move to another place.

Yes.

And I put less because in the process, I didn't have to worry about any of that.

But like when I went back home, you know, I did have to worry about roaches and mice and some other things that I don't even know the name of them.

But, you know, not at that time.

I mean, what is this?

What

are those?

But.

They didn't do the you got to shake out.

You know what I'm saying all the clothes and hurry up and seal the boxes You don't know saying

tie

the bags up so nothing could get in especially if it wasn't got to be moved right away Right if you're not saying right because other than that you might take some friends along with you.

Oh, yeah the new place, right?

So I know we got to do this.

We got to do that We got to do this.

It was it was a whole ritual.

Okay, you know, it was a whole ritual

And then I remember where you know, you could move during the day Now in this other generation that you move at night You don't want people to see you bringing in TVs or whatever kind of goods you got because it makes you a meal

All right, we're going to go get this.

We're going to go get that.

It's also why I tell people around the holiday season, do not throw all your boxes right out to the garbage.

You know, you better wait till you know the recycling people is coming because people are going to drive through the alley and shop.

They're like, hmm.

OK, OK, they got they got two PS5s.

Oh, OK.

And I'm just saying your your home could become a target.

Right.

Yo, yeah, he's look is just

what you gotta say sounds

like hell Yeah, you can't even throw away your own trash

You gotta be careful.

Maybe you take it to another dump, right?

That's it I've never heard that

before.

Oh, yeah.

Well, you know, yeah, okay.

You say she foo foo

No,

no, he what is the male version of that she say him?

I don't know.

Yeah, whatever it is the baby said no

This is what it is.

OK, so Shae Shae.

All right, Foo Foo is just Shae Shae Foo Foo.

It is what it is.

All right.

But yeah, so, you know, it's just a lot of those different things.

But Xavier, I've never done that either.

But then I always, you know, spend my Christmas abroad.

Yeah, I'm used to living by civilized people.

Mr. Jackson said lead fed brain isn't fully developed until 25.

Again, I do know the damage of lead but what I'm trying to also say is that The lead that they're talking about not a lot of these people are not even drinking water not no tap water So when we hear that and saying that you know, it's the lead in the water these fools ain't drinking off the They're

not drinking no water

That either he says sugar water doesn't help either,

right?

Yeah, but yeah, I'm just telling you they make

they cool late

when we talk about that like we in my opinion We came up in the most lead based Society that you could come in to all of the paint and there were people eating paint chips

That was lead it was lead everything the little toys that were in the machine that you put 25 cent in and turn the little thing and all the little rings and the jewelry that was lead face for real.

Yeah,

people put it all in a box thinking that you know what I mean.

So so I you know I understand the damage and the power of lead.

We got to get ready to take care of some bills.

But I'm just saying like we can't.

Keep giving them excuses, but they smart enough to go commit crimes.

They smart enough to go do this.

They smart enough to disrespect their mothers and fathers.

They're smart enough to disrespect older adults and other citizens.

They smart enough to do all this stuff.

But then when other things happen, it's the lead.

I'm just saying, I know lead creates a problem, but man, I'm listening.

We got to take care of some bill.

You're listening to the award.

What about them?

Klu Klux Klan Converse?

Oh, we're going to talk about

that.

We'll talk about that.

We got we got pictures to show you.

Okay, let's go to this clueless land situation Bailey.

Now that did we you got that

picture right

at a clueless land converse to

you.

Okay.

Okay, if not me.

Yeah, the photo.

Yeah,

you got you got a clip of the story about it.

See, I got to see if you don't have that.

Okay, okay, but yeah, and they're there's a message.

Yeah, you'll just have to see this because we've got to pay attention to these things clearly covers either didn't care or didn't pay attention to when they started this ad.

I want a side on

the side of you know, they didn't they

You think they don't care?

Yeah, you know, because you know, if

you're on our YouTube, it's up, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

It's up.

It's up now.

Okay.

Yeah, the reason look

at this picture.

Why I feel that you feel

like

they don't

care.

Yeah, I feel that they don't care because of the orange man.

The orange man has made things so blatant and it's so many people that will try things.

It's just like with Target with the

with the costume that, you know, they put the teaser online, right?

Uh, this Sambo Halloween costume.

You know, and it's like, again, people are pushing the envelope in my opinion.

They are really pushing the envelope.

Like what they gonna do?

What they gonna say?

If you try to take it to a higher level or to someplace, you know, to an whole another.

different situation, the people going to be on the side.

Right.

Oh, they're just exaggerating that.

There's no way that this means that.

But yeah, the picture is up, Bailey.

And.

If you look at it, I mean, it does look like a lynching.

You clearly.

It's kind of tricky on the eye, right?

Mm hmm.

Um.

It's kind of but you see okay, so these are like classic Converse, right?

And these are the Chuck Taylor's and You know who I have a pair of these in my collection.

Mm-hmm.

All right.

Mm-hmm.

They're not the high tops.

I

have the high tops.

Mm-hmm

But it's kind of it's it's strange right

mm-hmm,

and it's a I'm trying to figure out why they would make An ad that looks like this

because the orange man has given all of them Reason to feel like they don't have to hide it anymore

But I want to know the concept behind this ad.

No, you're not crazy.

Yes, the con the converse ad is racist.

Yes, it looks like a clan outfit.

Yes, it looks like a lynching.

And no, it's not.

It's just the shoe ad is not a defense to say, oh, it's just a shoe ad.

Now, in the beginning,

in the beginning, when I saw this, I didn't notice the hand that's

holding the

shoes.

It just like.

It looked like two feet of someone that was hanging,

right?

But

it's actually a person holding the pair of shoes.

Right.

And they have a white, why would you put a white gown on them?

I mean, I'm just not, is this just half the picture?

Was there a top part of the picture or I'm just trying to figure out what

I never saw the actual commercial because they said there was a commercial along with these photos.

Yeah, I know.

It's crazy.

So from what we see, you know what I'm saying?

And I get it.

I'd be

interested in hearing the deceiving

concept behind this.

Mm hmm.

You know, and usually when you hear about things like this, right?

Mm hmm.

Usually what happens is you don't.

End up seeing the ad but so when I saw this I was like, oh We got it.

We have to talk about this and this is a great opportunity.

This is part of the advantage of watching us on YouTube

Okay,

because you can see the shoes Right.

Mm-hmm.

You've heard probably have heard little snippets of the story on on television and stuff, but to actually see the ad

something different because it's almost a subliminal subliminal sub you know subliminal thing with the whole person holding the pair of shoes right and it does look like a lynching

it does it does

and it does look like with the dress or whatever this robe whatever it is

The person is wearing.

It does look like a clan situation.

It

does.

It absolutely does.

And now it's

very weird.

It's funny on the eye to me.

Yeah.

And now I'm seeing where they're saying that Converse is apologizing for the controversial ad

because they probably looked at it.

You know, this is the thing when people

don't

have sensitivity.

When I sent you Xavier, I don't know if you can find a video clip with this, but I just texted it to you

when people don't have sensitivity.

They don't look at it like like clearly covers has nobody that is of color, especially no one of African American descent on their board or whatever, whoever examines these ads and what have you.

And if they are, they may be get along, go along.

And well,

Or they don't listen to them,

right?

And so then they face backlash like this, because there's a lot of companies like that.

People try to tell you and explain to you, but the powers of B don't want to listen.

They just want to do what they want to do.

And as a result, they get the backlash that they're getting now.

Plenty of people have these Chuck Taylor's

and from ABC seven that reported.

that now you know converse is coming out says the sneaker company converse has removed a social media ad that sparked outrage among critics who viewed it as evoking the Ku Klux Klan and lynching the Instagram ad photo show K pop singer Karina wearing a skirt and holding a pair of Chuck 70

X

sneakers critics lashed out online saying that a white triangular image created by lighting on the skirt resembled a KKK hood.

and that the way she held the sneakers made them look like the dangling feet of a lynching victim.

You know what?

All

of that is true.

And I did not notice the hat look

until you just said

that.

Converse owned by Nike issued a statement apologizing and saying it removed the ad.

We're sorry, said the statement first released on Friday.

We understand why this image is deeply upsetting and recognize that we got this wrong.

We removed it from our channels and are working to remove it everywhere it appeared.

This should not have happened and we will do better.

Converse based in Boston declined on Sunday to answer questions seeking additional information including how the company screens ads before they are posted and how the ad was approved.

Karina and her management company SM Entertainment Group

did not immediately respond to messages through their Instagram accounts.

Retailers and top fashion brands have issued a string of apologies over the years for products criticized as being racially insensitive.

Last month retailer Target pulled the Children's Halloween costume from its shelves after widespread social media black lash apologizing for selling a garment that critics said evoked racist menstrual caricatures.

The Congress photo sparked swift criticism, including calls for staff involved in the ad to be fired and for a boycott of the company.

In a slew of comments on social media, posters questioned how the ad could have cleared the company's advertising vetting process.

Others commenting defended, uh, other commenters defended Congress saying they did.

They didn't believe it was intentional.

Of course they don't.

We got, we got here.

That wasn't, it wasn't intentional.

It wasn't intentional.

Windchops.

Windchops.

Windchops, windchops, windchops.

So, Bailey, what else is going on this weekend?

A lot of situations going on.

There were, unfortunately, shootings.

Yeah, lots of

mass.

Yeah, absolutely.

People with kids, reunions.

Did any of them have on bras?

No.

That's why we can't show it on our page.

Well, you didn't see though, right?

You could see

the there was one of the.

Yeah,

yeah, there was a people would get

And why do

I think the women were out there fighting or something?

Yes, they were and the guys were like watching or whatever absolutely and the women were out there

with no

no

No

undergarments nothing and no no yeah because they were snatching the shirts off of each other.

Yes And

this I mean, I'm not sure what that was about

I'm not sure why you go outside without, you know, the garments on.

I'm confused Milwaukee.

Maybe I'm gonna have another cup of coffee this morning and maybe I'll get it together because I'm confused about that.

No, you should be.

You should be not only confused.

You

should

be

disturbed.

And I saw so many bonnets that men were wearing.

I just was like, I don't understand.

Are you counting the bonnets?

I'm

counting

the the top list the old women

now this They show them

they show them.

We can't show this

Yeah, I just why and we can't show the video.

No

You don't see the

video

And then there are some people who just do not need what you just you got too much going on You just do not need to be out with that.

I mean just put your clothes on Disgusting your mama your mama be mad at you right now.

Well, maybe not

Some of y'all mama's I was just online and I saw that there was a people with kids reunion Mm-hmm.

Some of the kids is out there in the street with him.

Yeah.

Yeah, absolutely

Yeah, I mean people are just like they just walking around like groups of people like it's y'all don't understand And it

wasn't

even hot

It

wasn't even hot that day

and the person riding Running from the police

right

in a car.

Well,

you know,

he wasn't running

He was

in a car sitting on the side of the window and the police end up, you know

chasing another car chasing that car.

Yeah So

the the sickness

but y'all need to understand that these people are just what these men and women but the women

are topless because they've been fighting.

Yeah.

Okay.

So they just walking around this.

This was in a neighborhood on the north side.

They just walking around with no no children running all about.

You know, yeah.

And it's like it ain't and the guys, they all got bonnets on some of the ladies got bonnets on too.

And they just rolling out walking around a group big mob of them.

Yes.

And then the police drive by chasing after another car.

Right.

And here.

Now, here's here's one of the other crazy things about that, in my opinion, Bailey, if you would have listened to, you know, the audio,

right?

So now they're cheering this car that has a young teen, it appears to be that sitting on the.

went a while there in the middle of a high speed

chase.

And the ones that were out there naked and with bonnets and just the others that were just out there, uh, encouraging the melee, right?

Right.

Our say.

go go leave him get him you know like slice like go ahead yeah keep speeding

away

but now some of those sane people in my opinion which is where a lot of the problems come in that will be the same ones blaming law enforcement

right

if that person crashes and loses their life

or now they're severely injured and maimed for the rest of their life.

Then it would become law enforcement's fault for chasing them.

But you're encouraging

the

ones that are creating the high speed chase that didn't pull over when they should have pulled over.

You're encouraging them to keep going.

But then soon as they get hurt or they crash and kill someone else, say the police shouldn't have been cheering the people on.

Now, if it would have been your mother, your father, your brother, your sister, someone you love and care for, that would have been the person hurt or killed from this speeding car.

Right.

Now, all of a sudden, they need to slow down.

They need to... It just, it doesn't match.

The energy is crazy.

Oh

yeah.

It doesn't match.

It doesn't match.

And...

I'm telling you people, we gotta do better.

I saw the mother of one of the 16-year-olds that was shot, her 16-year-old ended up passing away.

There was another 16-year-old that was shot, but he's still alive.

And they're not saying that he, they're not fearing that he'll pass away or anything like that, but yeah.

it's a lot and and our teams are in the midst of it.

Yeah.

If you think about unfortunately a lot of the shootings as of late, it's been a lot of teams.

Mm hmm.

Mm hmm.

What's the cause?

We need to talk about that.

We gotta get ready.

Take care of some bills.

Welcome Black troop nation to truth in the morning.

Just talking about so many other things that were taking place over the weekend.

And to you know me, my guy, I clearly listen to that clip during the break and you absolutely hear them calling the.

Young man's name that was sitting on the ledge of the car Telling I can't use the words on air, but yeah, they were like telling him to like Basically leave him, you know,

yeah, yeah,

so it was that you know me my guy on our YouTube page He was and he were cheering they were cheering for them to get away

And now maybe it was not a whole of them, but you heard enough

of them

that we're

yelling people with kids and toys or us adult reunion.

So I don't, I'm not sure.

It was a full of reunion.

It was

crazy though.

Yeah.

And like I say, you know, these are some of the things that we have to do better on and it'll help us stop having to report.

On all of this stuff because and when people say that we we don't have to we shouldn't it's affecting our community So why wouldn't we?

Why wouldn't we say it like again to just be alert?

Like some of the things that are going on you thinking that you know You see something or you hear some people talking loud.

Can we get black to going the other way?

You know instead of gravitating to the argument gravitating

to this and then soon as a person pulls out a gun and starts shooting now you want to run now we got to watch the ground because your camera you trying to get out of here now is where my baby at where my baby you ain't saying nothing about where your baby at while you're watching this brewing you know

how they participate you walking around in it yeah you you ain't worry about kids running all about the cat I mean just running around

hey

Right,

you

know, because when Bailey sent me this clip, I

was like, there's a people with kids reunion.

And so again, unfortunately, it's really a safety mode that we are trying to let people know like these kind of things are happening.

If you see something like that, try to move the other way.

Yeah, at least run to it.

There's

so many that run to it.

Yeah.

That that's amazing.

Even the little kids.

Yeah, we'll run to it.

It's like, you know, you know, they like to

shoot and you're going to run

to

where you're saying that they are about to start shooting.

Yeah.

And then when a child gets shot or injured or the worst case scenario killed, now all of a sudden, see, this is crazy.

See, that's why I'm moving.

You don't understand.

But you can't and shouldn't, in my opinion, teach your children.

to go towards the

danger.

Right.

Because that's exactly what they're doing.

Yeah.

They don't perceive it as danger, though.

They don't think of it like that.

They think this is what's going on because this is what normally goes on over here.

Right.

This is normal activity.

Right.

Women walking around topless.

Will deny and say good morning wearing bonnets, but here looking a mess.

aren't bodies supposed to protect and nourish your hair while sleeping.

Yes.

Yet they're walking outside and fighting but not protecting their private.

That

part.

That part.

Because they private parts everywhere.

Yeah.

And I mean, if you even look at the dress now period, unfortunately, in my opinion, that it's like they don't care if you if there's nothing left to your imagination.

It's like that's the goal.

to leave nothing to the imagination.

They want you to see it.

They want you to see it every, all 2000 parts.

Leave her 2000, all 2000 parts.

They want you to see it and feel like, you know, it's all right, you know, for me to be able to just do this.

If you end up saying, hey, look, that's not, that's not good.

You got your kids.

My kids are seeing me.

Why would you

allow your kids to see you?

That brings in the question all kinds of things.

Right.

I don't... It's sad.

It's sickening.

Yes.

And how do we get to the change though?

How do we get them to understand that just trying to be a baddie out here fighting.

And when I'm saying baddie, I need people to understand.

I'm talking about toys or us adults as well as some of our young girls and young women.

So it is when I say trying to be a baddie, I don't need you to think that I'm only talking about young teenage girls.

These are

grown ass women that are out here trying to be baddies.

And it's all about fighting.

It's all about, you know,

that's unfortunately that is the.

Bad example.

It's being set right now.

Yeah, you know, that's just it.

What?

That's how do we change that around baby?

I don't know, but we need to get back to the clear hexable days.

That's what we need to do because this I mean this right here is out of control.

It is.

They

don't

care.

They walking outside and they pajamas.

Right.

Whatever it is.

It doesn't matter.

Bonnet with the bonnet on the head and you know, just they don't care.

It's just like whatever I'm here.

Some of them got this.

Some of them don't even have their hair done.

That's what I was talking about.

Like, you know what I'm saying?

Our producer Xavier.

Great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

Look like you got some you want to add to this.

What's your truth?

Did you send him the video?

No, I didn't.

Oh, Xavier needs to see the video.

You know what?

Let me send it to you.

Hopefully it's

okay.

This is exactly what I'm okay.

Like we got to get rid of.

We got to ship them out.

We don't give a damn where they go.

Shout

out to my girl Hope that's listening.

She's one of my homies from the other side of the previous administration.

Okay.

All right.

Great morning, Hope.

uh Xavier what you got

wait man hold on hold on wait man i Xavier go ahead talk to him because i'm i'm gonna send this to him

uh so from what i observed uh from the current culture right now you know the millennials the gen z's and you know some of the gen xers it's all about not being uh your mama not raising a punk or someone that's a b

So that's where the fighting comes from.

This is where the gladiator culture comes from.

It's about proving that you're not a punk or a bee.

But

when you're exhibiting bee behavior.

Well, they can't.

But they're you know, I

don't see how they trying to get away from being a bee.

They openly 90% of their songs are calling themselves bees.

Well, I don't

know they bees in the trap.

Yeah, it's I mean it's the culture

to this culture that song is so old this group That's a classic So that they don't go by that with

no mom

No, like I'm saying, is this all about the gladiator culture?

I'm talking about.

That's why I think the gladiator games will work out very well.

You still want to

stand gladiator?

Well, you want annihilation?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Mine's

a lot more

feasible.

No, because they we won't have to ever worry about them again.

But you're

talking about

genocide with nothing.

No, no, what I'm saying, I'm talking about criminal side.

If we're going to make words,

we go.

Okay.

If we do, what is yours?

What is yours?

Oh, just glad to hear

that.

Okay.

So if you we're going to stop them before they kill each other, right?

Okay.

And but it's okay

if they're maimed and they can't do this and do that after being.

You have to deal with every one of y'all have to be coming out.

They have

the brain damage of football players.

It's okay.

Uh, yeah, they

have a little money

in

their pocket.

Well, they only get one one one set them out, right?

Well, yeah, yeah, so the

winner

disability for the rest of the

day Well, that's why they

have a that's why I have a referee in there.

We you know, it'll be well regulated.

Boxers got brain damage.

Yes.

Yes.

I've never seen I've never seen like a boxy filly

nights gladiator, bro.

Yes, gladiator.

Now, gladiator is worse than just boxing.

Well, this is the name of the promotion.

gladiator nights, you're not going to there with swords and stuff like that.

They go to their they can fight MMA style, they can fight boxing style.

You know, the winner gets you know, if you

don't do the behavior and we won't need any of this.

Well, you know, they can set their they can set their their squabbles in there, you know, like, you know, 33rd Street can go in there and they can have a gladiator night with 35th

Street.

Let's see.

Let's see.

What did Tiffany say?

One of my parents came in with a moomoo and a body

dog.

A dad came in with his robe and out shoes.

Bobar said, Tiffany, you should have wrote up the parents.

That was it was good.

Yeah, I didn't say that at the end, but okay.

Uh, I got you.

I got you.

We are black and we got out MKE that will rescue me before Bailey said something else.

What was I

gonna say?

I don't know.

That's why I'm

going to

out MKE.

I was just gonna say y'all did a good job with that.

That was

good.

It ain't my fault, right?

Did I do that?

Part two.

Yeah.

A great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

You hear the conversation and I think it hits on a lot of points that you've made before.

But what's your truth, Al?

My truth is black people will never be able to live in peace in Milwaukee and that's why it's going straight to hell because those kind of people and those PWKs have priority over working class blacks.

They have priority.

That's why your only investment is low income housing because they can live on top of each other like roaches and bedbugs and the only investment you have to is, is waste management come picking up the three dumpsters.

And that's why a lot of working class Blacks feel their concerns are met with people being nonverbal artistic to their concerns.

So you're not going to get a Panera, a sweet greens, a super soup because they doesn't do well with them kind of people.

They are the priority over working class blacks.

That's why they keep them here.

Nobody wants them to go.

We might as well get used to it.

No, we're not going to get used to it because we're going to tell the black people, get your credit, get your stuff, move the F away.

And then when the white people move in and the people who got their 8% raise, they can be proactive 2.0 like crack on good silverware.

Did he say crack on good silverware?

Yeah, because when you look at it, when you look at it, we're looking like South Beloit and all the black people who moved away.

There's no streets.

There's no alleys.

There's no bonnets and you don't have all this.

The priority is to keep them kind of people here and prioritize them over working class blacks because if they prioritize over working class blacks.

nobody who's supposed to oversee the community has to work.

Keep the food stamps, keep the section eight, and keep throwing up low income house and the food pantries and the mental health badge.

They don't care about the working class blacks because then everybody has to stand up and you have to be held accountable.

So if you keep the deployables here, what do you have to do?

Just keep the bare minimum.

Don't you want them to move away?

Why isn't you want these IGG, AZ, and their PWK parents who breeded them to stay?

Prosperous neighborhoods have, but no IGUs.

But don't you find an eye they want to keep them here?

Don't you want a Panera?

Well, don't you want a Zeus?

Don't you want a nice restaurant?

I just

drive.

I just drive out to him.

Why

should

we

have to drive out to

him?

Because you can't get a fresh

salad.

But this is what this is what they want to keep.

So hey, you got your Harold chicken.

You got your JJ chicken.

And we're going to come and we're going to continue to look like below because as long as you got section eight, you're going to have these bonnet pajamas.

Low grade deployables in the inner city, but they got the 8% raise.

Do you want them here?

Do you want them to go?

You can't have it both ways matter of fact the black people that's listening pack your stuff up and you go and let them tear this in there for down You don't got time for that and you deserve peace and harmony not somebody who had their legs wide open at two o'clock in the morning saying daddy put me Don't pull out.

Have a good morning.

Oh my god.

All right

now

We're

gonna

play name that Name that comment name that comment you can name that comment All we got to play is bye-bye

Winner winner chicken dinner It's It's it's bad Who was that was saying I think it was a Bard made a comment saying why I send the clip or something like that But I said then why you send it if we can't see it baby Bailey

I sent it to our producer.

He was gonna see if he could edit it.

It's no

editing

Xavier

is there any editing to that video?

It's looking real natural geographic

Geographic

okay,

okay, there we go.

I got that They look like what

what do you mean?

What did

you get out of looking at that that video clip that Bailey sent me?

It was looking for you.

So what did you what did you get out of it?

I'm

going to

say because of the language in it because of the nudity in it.

No, we cannot play it, but they sent it to me.

If I had to be exposed to it, I'm going to share what I saw.

Even the saggers.

Did you see the saggers?

Yeah, I call them.

What you call them?

Call them

orangutans.

Come on now.

Yeah, cause the rain, the rain

with that order.

Maybe you said I did.

Okay.

So don't tell us we ought to order.

You said this to us.

I'm not going

to say we

ought to order.

We said what we saw, but you talked about the

clothes.

Yes, I did.

And yes, and there were some saggers and everything.

Oh my

gosh.

They were definitely in their natural habitat.

I just want to say.

Yeah, go ahead.

Because you started this.

The Bailey started it and now

what came up with my feet.

I was like, oh my.

So that's your

algorithm?

Man, that.

You don't get a lot

more in now.

Since you

don't watch this,

they're

going to

see you a lot more.

I like how the car sped by and then turned the corner and then the cops.

Right.

Lights came on.

It was very poetic.

Man, listen.

OK.

And

one of the people out there was yelling like, you know, cheering the guy that was sitting on the edge of the car on.

Yeah, hanging out the window.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And some other people.

And the caption, the caption said, only in Milwaukee.

Yeah.

Makes sense.

Only see that kind of activity.

No, it's not

only in Milwaukee.

No, no, no, no, no.

We can't say that in my opinion because I get videos from.

everywhere.

People

know your history.

You're right.

Yeah, yeah, it's everywhere.

It's just that if we're talking about cleaning some things up, this is why I bring it up and talk about Milwaukee because we know what I know.

I know I could say that in my opinion that Milwaukee, we need to clean up ourselves before even trying to talk about when people try to talk about how many people may have gotten shot or killed in Chicago.

Uh, how many people this and who look at what they do?

What are what are we doing?

Why can't we be the

example?

Yeah,

Bailey getting ready to go on her Chicago thing.

No, no, no, no.

Yes, you are.

No, no, a lot of people from Chicago.

Come here.

That's what I'm saying.

I told you.

That's what you're saying.

But it doesn't mean that these people from Chicago.

No, I think that these are first generation Milwaukee.

People with kids kids they grew up here people with kids from Chicago this day kids They grew up here But why is this their point of reference Why do they think that this is okay?

Right?

I don't know I don't know why you would think going outside without some undergarments on especially when you got more than the

United States should see.

Why you feel like that's okay?

I guess not no big deal.

We're gonna take care of some bills.

Uh, so he tries to say, Oh wow, I went PG 13 to NC 17.

If you were supposed to be at work at 8 AM, you're late!

But you know what?

I'm not gonna be late for it.

Welcome black.

Truth of the morning on the award winning one on one seven the truth fm Listen Bailey Cove and how you feeling you good?

Okay, so we had a call and there was somebody that was from the the message that we had was wanted to talk about brother love and We didn't have enough information I

guess Xavier well the guy's name was Ken and he wanted to talk about brother love so Ken you should call back

And Homer would love to talk to you about Brother Love.

Is that it?

Yeah, we just went to break.

And I think he thought we had him off.

Yeah.

You talk about Brother Love.

I know they played his clip just before we came on the air.

Yeah.

Well, you know, they

played that show back.

A lot of the shows ended up playing and talking about that call from me filling in.

Tapping in for jazz Tyler and one of the criminal complaints that I read talked about Really pedophilia where it is Man said that you know if it's too consenting people How am I getting charged for this one am I getting charged you can't charge nobody but with two consenting people and the person that he was

Speaking of was 15.

And there was talk that he may have started, you know, and in the brief time of April through August 2nd,

all of

this year, 2026, he had allegedly had sex with her three times.

This is his stepdaughter.

So,

you know,

when we ended up getting that call since we're here,

Um, it was just baffling because I clearly stated like what the situation was and for him to say that, uh, well, what are they being supposed to do?

They got a release.

Oh my gosh.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So, yeah.

So it's crazy.

It is, uh, yeah, in my opinion, it is crazy.

So hashtag that part hashtag fact.

So if I'm not going to be mad if I don't have to go revisit it.

But we do need to know that these kind of people are out here.

Yeah.

People that feel this way and think that way.

He even talked about some of his other friends that were locked up because of it.

Wow.

So yeah.

But wow.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's truly a wow.

It's like.

But yeah, we again have to do better if we want to see better.

Lime scooter.

Yeah, you

saw that.

Yeah.

I knew you have a little chuckle.

Yeah.

But these people be disrespectful with these line scooters.

Some of these people

and he got this guy got caught up.

Now this video you can put on.

You can put on our YouTube.

So

everybody is so.

CBS 58.

I'll see if I can try to get it to you, but it's on CBS 58.

Surveillance captures e scooter rider tumbling through the air after crashing into a car in Milwaukee's intersection.

It's crazy.

It's crazy.

Let's see if I can end up finding that mark too.

Send it to you.

I'll see if I can send it to you.

You don't see it.

But yeah, this is one that Bailey sent.

I was like, what the hell?

I was just like.

Yeah.

Unfortunately, it's like nothing surprises.

Nothing.

Me anymore.

Nothing.

No.

No.

Because.

I've.

Yeah.

I've seen too much.

You've seen too much.

And I wish that it wouldn't be this way.

I wish it wouldn't be this way, but it is.

And I'm working to do my part to.

I got it.

Change the narrative.

You said that.

Yeah, I'm going to.

Yeah.

To change the narrative.

Because.

It's it's that old of they call us animals.

I don't agree with them.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah,

we

got too much of the same kind of things that are happening and I think I Think I'm tired of the ENC's excuses and complaints of people trying to come up with a reason why they're doing this and these people a lot of them are making their own choices

Yeah.

And when we try to say, well, it's because of the poverty level and this, that and the other, like people had to stop you.

Poverty is not new.

Mm hmm.

We still had a neighborhood.

We still had a community.

We, you couldn't even really tell some of us that we were poor.

You know what I'm saying?

You couldn't even, you know, people didn't know like, oh, wow, we poor.

Yeah.

Because.

We made poor it look good.

Yeah, we

did and Even when we talk about The generations even before me where they wore the same shoes and all of that kind of stuff I wouldn't hear for that, but I'm just saying I know the stories and the history of it and when we would hear our season citizens tell us about like

Yeah, I think this is something.

Look at how we walked the

school.

Yeah.

And all that kind

of stuff.

We

walked 50 miles in the snow

just to go

to school.

I'm like, I wouldn't have made it.

You know what I'm saying?

But so we hear and see all of these things, but we still were unified.

Like we were united in our communities.

You know, we were united.

And that unity has.

been divided so much and I don't blame all of that on the system because the system was in place.

We had Claudine where you know you had to hide the man's shoes and all of that.

A lot of these people now they openly uh living with the the man and and you know what I'm saying all that like like it ain't nothing.

Yeah.

So I'm saying that if we

Didn't even have as many opportunities in my opinion as this generation and the generation, you know what I mean?

Yeah, like come on Why why are we trying to say?

Well, you know, well, you know how dope is heroin was out there taking people out.

Yeah Alcohol was taking people out.

Mm-hmm.

So these things in my opinion are not new

So when we try to act like these differences are so new to what we had to deal with and we didn't have social media.

You feel what I'm saying?

But again, even when you think black, let's go black to the boycotts and the things that Dr. King and other people had to deal with, they didn't have no Facebook to send a message or email to send no message.

But guess what?

It went throughout the whole black community.

It went.

Throughout the whole black community and we knew what it was and we stood on business to do what we needed to do so Why why when we have so much?

You know, we're overexposed with things that we could end up Changing the narratives on how we are living Finding out where places are where you can get the resources that you need if the government isn't the government wasn't supplying

Our people from black in the day nothing

nothing

They were supplying them nothing at all net and they still made things work.

Yeah But here we are With more at our fingertips.

Mm-hmm.

We can research things that we don't know and It seems like we've reverted black words

further then, you know what I'm saying?

Oh yeah.

Then we're, you know, it's like the accomplishments that we should be able to stand on and tout that, okay, so here's what we took and now we made it to where we can do this, we can do that.

There was a time that, you know, the orange man with all this stuff that he's trying to do, it would have never been tolerated even though we weren't the majority.

I mean, in that sense of saying, well, we're going to do this.

We knew how to revolt and we revolted.

Well, one thing that I could say, you know, even with him coming in office, you know, we have a small minority of people within our community that are doing all these things and they just not up to par.

But we're resilient people.

While everybody else was freaking out and continue to freak out, we're like, no, we don't, we don't survive.

We don't make it through.

What y'all gonna do, I don't know that's all you

but

that's what you wanted.

That's who you voted for So good luck, right?

Well, we'll be fine It's gonna be tough, but you know, I mean, it's not nothing that we haven't dealt with before

Yeah, well this is because people are that look like us are killing us at a higher rate than what you could think of from black in the day like

No, we understood.

You don't understand.

We understood.

It wasn't.

And again, there was guidance, the whole block, the whole, you know, not only Europe block, but all of the blocks were pretty much in unison with no, you see some make that call.

You can live on 14th street, somebody from 16th street is going to call your mother, call your father, call your grandparents, whoever it may be and be like, look.

I've seen him or her over here clowning.

Now I told them, I stopped them, but I just need to let you know that they were out here.

And you weren't allowed to misrepresent a family's name.

Our family name was what it was.

You feel what I'm saying?

We stand on that legacy.

We stood on that legacy.

Now.

They don't care about that.

That ain't listen.

They don't care about that.

I don't care.

It hurts though, baby.

It hurts.

It hurts to see it because I know and I study the history from where we came, what we didn't have and what we made still work.

And it's like it's oftentimes just shocked the hell now.

Like, so that was the end.

We, you know, we ain't, we ain't there.

We this, but yeah, but.

Y'all could be doing so much more instead of talking about the prison pipeline and Then falling right into it You think they didn't do things black then that could have sent people to jail.

They took you for nothing Period.

Mm-hmm.

So we gotta get ready take care of some bills You're listening to truth in the morning on the award-winning one-on-one seven FM the truth

Welcome black truth in the morning.

Bailey, how you doing and feeling?

You know, we're talking about the state of some of the things going on in our community and how it seems like we went black words in a lot of areas that ended up teaching us, you know,

the different morals and values that we have and how important it is that we learn that we got to live together.

Right.

You know, because, you know, you hear people say we all we got.

We all we got.

But if we taking each other out, if we're, you know, just continuing to take from us.

And let me just say before this excuse comes up again, I'm allergic to ANC's excuses and complaints.

I've addressed this before.

Before we hear it is, well, you know, it's because of proximity where we are.

You know how many white people are living on 20th and Burlai?

And in so many different areas, if people keep it 1,000, you will acknowledge that there's a lot of white people that live in inner city areas now that we didn't expect them to be living.

They used to live there long ago, as Luther would say, but then they took white flight.

We getting up out of here, we getting up out of here.

And we thought we were the Jeppresses when we got in some of them homes like, ooh, look at, ooh, they got a five place.

Ooh, look at this.

Oh, this is a beautiful home.

Oh, it's brick and mortar.

Oh my goodness.

Look at the sun porch.

Oh, it's got a sun porch.

You know what I mean?

So we, we thought like, hey.

Heaven?

That's just like when some people moved out to Northridge Lakes.

See, they were there when Northridge Lakes weren't inhabited by black people, in my opinion.

You know what I'm saying?

If you found somebody black that lived out at Northridge Lakes when they were first there, you'd have been

like, ooh, you rich.

Listen, they were called Northridge Lakes.

And there was only, like, it was all one big.

You know owned by one company busy.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was called north everything out Northridge Lake Now you go up in there each apartment building is owned by a different company Every apartment building out there is owned by a different company What is that

listen listen,

and you know what you didn't and they're painted different colors

Did

you notice that yes, they're painted different colors

being used

right?

Yeah, so each one of those buildings out there that used to be one big complex owned by one company Is now You know and it's very hood mm-hmm.

They're all owned by individual, you know,

when you say very good.

What do you mean,

baby?

That video we were talking about earlier could have very well taken place.

I'm just saying I'm not

lying.

And it's sad.

It is.

You know

what I'm saying?

It's sad because it's the truth.

And the the laughter that you're hearing is because most of the time we're laughing to keep from crying

because it's

so sad.

But let's say this.

There are some buildings that are in there.

There are some apartments in there that are really good.

Right?

Yeah.

But it's a shame that they're surrounded by.

They come in there.

There are some and there are some there are actually houses and condos, a couple condos and houses and stuff in there.

Really nice,

right?

Right.

But what they're surrounded by,

you

know, is it's not good.

It's not good.

Inna.

Yeah.

And, and, and again,

it used to be like a symbol of status.

It did.

Brown deer in itself.

Yeah.

Used to be a symbol of status.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Oh, sure.

And, and it makes you really wonder like what is the common denominator of those areas that used to be when we got a used to word used to be.

You're cutting in.

It's the truth They go over there and they come out with their shower caps they bonnet on pants hanging down to the Watu see and

then Don't you don't you don't you start taking the smoke

It's your people in there.

It is

looking them over there.

It is.

And

people with kids.

It's very prominent over there.

Mm hmm.

People with kids.

And then also, uh, towards the rest of the adults, they all live over there.

Mm hmm.

Uh, nurse, iron core and the great morning.

Love you.

Appreciate you.

Thank you again, Homer.

I thought of you when I went to my cranberry juice yesterday.

I can hear you.

Cranberry apple juice.

The Walmart great value brand Glad you could get that Anita Nicole said all facts over they took flight We moved in and the rest is history.

Yeah, and it's it's a sad history.

Yeah, because again

in those North Ridge Lakes apartments, they had spiral staircases and you really thought you were some of you.

Oh, where we live now, we

got

a spiral staircase.

Some people did not coming from where they may have originally moved from.

They didn't do.

Listen, it, it was a rule of thumb.

Yes,

if we were getting ready to move to another place.

Yes.

And I put less because in the process, I didn't have to worry about any of that.

But like when I went back home, you know, I did have to worry about broaches and mice and some other things that I don't even know the name of them.

But, you know, not at that time.

What is this?

What

it is.

But.

They didn't do the you got to shake out.

You know what I'm saying all the clothes and hurry up and seal the boxes You don't know saying

tie

the bags up

so

nothing could get in especially if it wasn't got to be moved right away, right?

You know I'm saying right because other than that you might take some friends along with you

to

the new place Right, so

it was like

nope.

We got to do this.

We got to do that We got to do this.

It was it was a whole ritual.

Okay, you know, it was a whole ritual

And then I remember where you know, you could move during the day Now in this other generation that you move at night You don't want people to see you bringing in TVs or whatever kind of goods you got because it makes you a meal

All right, we're going to go get this.

We're going to go get that.

It's also why I tell people around the holiday season, do not throw all your boxes right out to the garbage.

You know, you better wait till you know the recycling people is coming because people are going to drive through the alley and shop.

They're like, hmm.

OK, OK, they got they got two PS5s.

Oh, OK.

And I'm just saying

your

your home could become a target.

Right.

Yo, yeah, he's look is just

what you gotta say

sounds like hell Yeah, you can't even throw away your own trash

You gotta be careful.

Maybe you take it to another dump, right?

That's it.

I've never heard that

before.

Oh, yeah.

Well, you know, yeah, okay.

You say she foo foo

No, no,

he what is the male version of that?

She say him.

I don't know.

Yeah, whatever it is the baby said no

This is what it is.

OK, so Shae Shae.

All right, Foo Foo is just Shae Shae Foo Foo.

It is what it is.

All right.

But yeah, so, you know, it's just a lot of those different things.

But Xavier, I'd never done that either.

But then I always, you know, spend my Christmas abroad.

Yeah, I'm used to living by civilized people.

Mr. Jackson said lead fed brain isn't fully developed until 25.

Again, I do know the damage of lead but what I'm trying to also say is that The lead that they're talking about not a lot of these people are not even drinking water not no tap water So when we hear that and saying that you know, it's the lead in the water these fools ain't drinking off the They're

not drinking no water

That either he says sugar water doesn't help either, right?

Yeah, but yeah, I'm just telling you

they make they cool late

when we talk about that like we in my opinion We came up in the most lead based Society that you could come in to all of the paint and there were people eating paint chips

That was lead.

It was lead everything.

The little toys that were in the machine that you put 25 cent in and turn the little thing and all the little rings in the jewelry.

That was lead face for real.

Yeah,

people put it all in.

They bought thinking that you know what I mean?

So, so I, you know, I understand the damage and the power of lead.

We got to get ready to take care of some bills.

But I'm just saying like we can't.

keep giving them excuses, but they smart enough to go commit crimes.

They smart enough to go do this.

They smart enough to disrespect their mothers and fathers.

They're smart enough to disrespect older adults and other citizens.

They smart enough to do all this stuff, but then when other things happen, it's the lead.

I'm just saying, I know lead creates a problem, but man, I'm listening.

We got to take care

of

some bill.

You're listening to the award.

Don't tell me no lies.

Okay, let's go to this.

That's the situation Bailey.

Now that did we.

You got that picture, right?

But a clue.

Let's land.

Converse to

you.

Okay.

Okay.

If not me.

Yeah,

the photo.

Yeah, you got you got a clip of the story about it.

Yeah, let's see.

I got to see if you don't have that.

Okay, okay, but yeah, and they're there's a message

y'all just have to see this because we've got to pay attention to these things clearly converse either didn't care or didn't pay attention to when they started this ad I Want a side on the side of you

know, they didn't

You think they don't care?

Yeah, you know, because

you know, if you're on our YouTube, it's up, right?

Yeah.

Okay.

It's up.

It's up now.

Okay.

Yeah, the reason.

Look at this picture.

Why I feel that

you feel like they don't care.

Yeah, I feel that they don't care because of the orange man.

The orange

man has

made things so blatant and it's so many people that will try things.

It's just like with Target with the

with the costume that, you know, they put the teaser online.

Right.

This Sambo Halloween costume.

You

know, and it's like, again, people are pushing the envelope, in my opinion.

They

are really pushing the envelope like what they're going to do.

What they're going to say if you try to take it to a higher level or to someplace, you know, to an whole another.

different situation, the people going to be on the side.

Right.

Oh, they're just exaggerating that.

There's no way that this means that.

But yeah, the picture is up, Bailey.

And.

If you look at it, I mean, it does look like a lynching.

You clearly.

It's kind of tricky on the eye, right?

Mm hmm.

Um.

It's kind of But you see okay, so these are like classic Converse, right?

And these are the Chuck Taylor's and You know who I have a pair of these in my collection.

Mm-hmm.

All right.

Mm-hmm.

They're not the high tops.

I don't have the high tops.

Mm-hmm

But it's kind of it's it's strange right mm-hmm, and it's a I I'm trying to figure out why they would make An ad that looks like this

because the orange man has given all of them Reason to feel like they don't have to hide it anymore

But I want to know the concept behind this ad.

No, you're not crazy.

Yes, the con the converse ad is racist.

Yes, it looks like a clan outfit.

Yes, it looks like a lynching.

And no, it's not.

It's just the shoe ad is not a defense to say, oh, it's just a shoe ad.

Now, in the beginning, in the beginning, when I saw this, I didn't notice the hand that's holding the shoes.

It just like.

It looked like two feet of someone that was hanging.

But it's actually a person holding the pair of shoes.

Right.

And they have a white.

Why would you put a white gown on them?

I mean, I'm just not.

Is this just half the picture?

Was there a top part of the picture?

Or I'm just trying to figure out what.

I never saw the actual commercial because they said there was a commercial along with these photos.

Yeah, I know.

It's crazy.

So from what we see, you know what I'm saying?

And I get it.

I'd be interested in hearing the

deceiving

concept behind this.

Mm hmm.

You know, and usually when you hear about things like this, right?

Mm hmm.

Usually what happens is you don't.

End up seeing the ad but so when I saw this I was like, oh We got it.

We have to talk about this and this is a great opportunity.

This is part of the advantage of watching us on YouTube, okay?

Because you can see the shoes, right?

You've heard probably have heard little snippets of the story on on television and stuff, but to actually see the ad

It's something different mm-hmm because it's almost a subliminal subliminal sub, you know subliminal thing With the whole Person holding the pair of shoes right and it does look like a lynching

it does it does

and it does look like with the dress or whatever this robe whatever it is

The person is wearing.

It does look like a clan situation.

It does.

It absolutely does.

And now

it's very weird.

It's funny on the eye to me.

Yeah.

And now I'm seeing where they're saying that Converse is apologizing for the controversial ad

because they probably looked at it.

You know, this is the thing when people don't have sensitivity.

When I sent you Xavier, I don't know if you can find a video clip with this, but I just texted it to you

when people don't have sensitivity.

They don't look at it like like clearly covers has nobody that is of color, especially no one of African American descent on their board or whatever, whoever examines these ads and what have you.

And if

they are, they

may be get along, go along.

And well,

Or they don't listen to them, right?

And so then they face backlash like this because there's a lot of companies like that.

People try to tell you and explain to you, but the powers of B don't want to listen.

They just want to do what they want to do.

And as a result, they get the backlash that they're getting now.

Plenty of people have these Chuck Taylor's

and from ABC seven that reported that now, you know, conversations coming out.

says the sneaker company Converse has removed a social media ad that sparked outrage among critics who viewed it as evoking the Ku Klux Klan and lynching.

The Instagram ad photos show K-pop singer Karina wearing a skirt and holding a pair of Chuck 70 X sneakers.

Critics lashed out online saying that a white triangular image created by lighting on the skirt resembled a KKK hood.

and that the way she held the sneakers made them look like the dangling feet of a lynching victim.

You know what?

All of that is true.

And I did not notice the hat look until you just said that.

Converse owned by Nike issued a statement apologizing and saying it removed the ad.

We're sorry, said the statement first released on Friday.

We understand why this image is deeply upsetting and recognize that we got this wrong.

We removed it from our channels and are working to remove it everywhere it appeared.

This should not have happened and we will do better.

Converse based in Boston declined on Sunday to answer questions seeking additional information including how the company screens ads before they are posted and how the ad was approved.

Carina and her management company SM Entertainment Group did not immediately respond to messages through their Instagram accounts Retailers and top fashion brands have issued a string of apologies over the years for products criticized as being racially insensitive Last month retailer Target pulled the children's Halloween costume from its shells after widespread social media black lash apologizing for selling a garment that critics said evoked

racist menstrual caricatures.

The Congress photo sparked swift criticism, including calls for staff involved in the ad to be fired and for a boycott of the company.

In a slew of comments on social media, posters questioned how the ad could have cleared the company's advertising vetting process.

Others commenting defended other commenters defended Congress saying they did.

They didn't believe it was intentional.

Of course they don't.

We got we got here.

That wasn't it wasn't intentional.

It wasn't intentional.
