I loved, um, you know, I was watching the game, uh, on yesterday and, you know, for it to really exceed my expectations.
So my thing was this, when we ended up, you know, making it to where it was, uh, uh, where we were facing the Dodgers, I'm like, okay.
we pulled off both of them at home because last year we got swept.
Right.
Last year we got swept and by the Dodgers.
So, oh, how the tables turn.
I'm like, all right, this this the kind of heads up in the lead that you want to go into this with because it's like, all right, they're going to get, you know, two more of these games.
Right.
And.
So I'm like, OK, if we go to LA, which we had two for three games, well, it didn't get there.
I'm like, if we just win one of those games,
I'll feel even more comfortable because even if the Dodgers would have won the last two, we still would have came back home to Milwaukee with, you know, three game advantage and, you know, black in front of the home team and home crowd.
And I'm like, yeah, we're going to pull one of them out.
So.
Did I believe that we would end up winning the series?
Yes.
I'm like, yeah.
Uh huh.
And then, you know, but I'm always say one like.
Let's at least let's just get one more point one.
You know what I'm saying?
To make it a little tougher for the Dodgers if they would have ended up scoring.
And there were a few times Bailey that they had a man on third base.
And you know, it's like, ah, they're going to tie it at five, five and all that.
And nope, our pitching staff and men, the brewers as a whole.
They
the last time that
made
it's
You know, even some of the playoff, especially if you go in third market because you get your tickets in time.
Yeah.
Still, the standing room tickets are like $1,000 and better.
Wow.
Just to stand.
Wow.
Wow.
Constructed views and all that.
Right, right.
But sometimes you just want to be in the atmosphere.
You want to be in the place.
What?
the things
I can't.
I can't.
I can't.
Listen,
Yeah.
Worked out.
And once we get that worked out, you know, we'll be like, we're black.
Yeah.

They
What I'm doing nothing I just gave out the facts
alone
Okay.
Uh in on October 16th, 1995, uh but leading up to that date, the Honorable Minister Lewis
called for a million-man march and I was on bus 6 here in Milwaukee leaving from Mohammed Moss number 3 when it was located on to Tonya right off of Akassin and It was just a such a memorable moment to be able to be with all of our brothers and to watch as we were traveling and stopping at some of the
stations and you know replenishing and Taking you know, just everything it takes when you're doing a bus trip to get to DC So, you know, there's a lot of stops where people are grabbing different things snacks and refreshments to drink along the way water whatever and Just to see all of the true brotherly love and the connection with all these other black men
and we were going to Washington D.C.
on a mission, and that mission was accomplished, and it was called for a million men, and there were really over two million men that were there.
And it was a very historical moment for me, you know, and even once arriving in Washington D.C.
and taking the subway or the tram to get to the mall.
It was just one of those feelings that that I would never forget.
I got a lot of memorabilia from the Million Man March that was called for October 16th 1995 and a lot of great pictures the whole nine able to kind of like document it But it was such a different feeling to see just me and from all over the country that you know came for one cause you know and
We listened to all of the messages that were being presented.
And then, of course, when the Honorable Minister Lewis Farrakhan himself spoke, it was it was just something that I'm happy and honored and blessed that I was able to be there because it meant so much.
And there was a lot of things that ended up changing because he challenged people to go black home.
Brothers, go black home and.
Do some things makes, you know, start making some changes.
So a lot of different organizations were started and they are still in existence now, uh, to, you know, really work on us and making sure that we understand how important it is for a nation.
You don't understand to be able to be strong.
And, uh, like the question that Bailey asked, like, no, I'm not a Muslim, but you didn't have to be a Muslim to attend.
Uh, the day of holy day of atonement, the million man march.
So it was a amazing experience and today is that anniversary for me.
Uh, we got to get ready, take care of some bills.
Uh, I believe that we may have some kind of work around that we are working on and we'll be up on our YouTube page.

Business is happening.
There's another situation that we definitely wanted to touch on.
Something that ended up happening at around noon on this past Thursday.
Milwaukee police arrested a 13 year old after they said the student beat an eight year old.
Wow.
It happened Thursday.
It happened about noon on Thursday at Ralph H Metcalfe School near 34th Street and North Avenue.
The victim was taken to an area hospital with non fatal injuries.
Police said school principal Melinda Gladney sent home the following letter to parents.
Dear Metcalf families and staff, as a valued member of our school community, we want you to know about a situation that took place at our school.
Today, a student needed medical assistance after hitting their head on a door frame while trying to enter a classroom and being stopped by another student.
We immediately called paramedics who arrived to care for the student.
We cannot provide information about the student's condition due to federal privacy laws.
We are investigating this incident and will take appropriate disciplinary action following the MPS student code of conduct, which can be found inside the parent student handbook on rights, responsibilities, and discipline.
Due to federal privacy laws, we cannot share details about disciplinary actions taken.
We understand this situation may have been upsetting to nearby students.
If your child needs assistance after this event,
Please contact the school office at 414-874-3600 to speak with the school counselor, the nurse, the psychologist, or social worker.
Thank you for your continued support of our school.
because of like they say the privacy laws, the federal privacy laws that they can only give out certain information.
And again, so it says today a student needed medical assistance after hitting their head on a door frame while trying to enter a classroom and being stopped by another student.
So I think that's where.
The thing may have happened.
So it must have been that 13 year old who was allegedly trying to stop the eight year old.
And in some type of situation, some violence happened and the eight year old boys hit the door frame hit hit the door frame, which obviously created that situation because there are people saying there was a lot of blood.
So I get it.
OK, I get it.
You know, it's I think that.
You know, it's, it's business.
So in that sense, but the 13 year old has been charged now
And.
Yeah, it's crazy true nation.
What's your thoughts eight three three two one two ten seventeen eight three three two one two ten seventeen What's your truth on that that it was very disturbing when I heard about that but at the same time Unfortunately, you know, we've seen so many different situations
I believe it was targeted.
I believe it was targeted.
So, yeah.
Hashtag that part.
So like I said, the 13 year old was arrested and charges are being referred to the district attorney's office.
And so while Milwaukee police are investigating the incident as a battery, Milwaukee Public Schools stated that a student needed medical assistance after hitting their head on a door frame while trying to enter a classroom and being stopped by another student.
So yeah, that's where we at.
That's where we at.
Alfonzo from our truth YouTube chat said no help for some of these kids Hmm That's interesting Yeah, I mean Those are facts and some of these kids I'm sure feel hopeless right what else would would lead you to do something like that?
People don't care your mom.
You don't feel like your parents care and you can get away with it
You don't feel like, you know, it's a big deal and you can get away with it.
So why go through all that?
It's going to be fine.
Me said, uh, attorney su su su for everything.
Uh, my D said demonic spirits running a lot of the black homes is so sad.
Lauren said, man, in eighth grade, we didn't have no interaction with no eight year olds at school.
They had different recess and classes and a whole different wing older brother beating up a bully.
Yeah.
You know, that part.
Um, so we got to get ready to take care of some bills.
Bailey, I got to get ready to head over.
to the

We got some comments about the story that Helen and I were talking about on our truth talk text line.
And one of them is...
Let's see, Bailey, I see why you live in the suburbs.
Too much N word stuff.
Hey, you know what?
I actually don't live in the suburbs.
Did you know that Xavier?
I actually do live in Milwaukee.
Just like on the edge.
But I ain't in the neighborhood there those areas.
So there you go Chris said praying for the family can't believe something like this happened with our youth Charged the parents to this is getting out of hand that 13 year old needs to be punished and banned from all schools Where's it gonna go if he gets banned?
What do you think Xavier?
Where's it gonna go?
if he gets banned because all kids gotta be in school, right?
These days I keep my comments and theories to myself because I tend to hurt feelings.
I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings.
I think, you know what, with the kids, they definitely need to be in some counseling and stuff.
But it's what they're seeing.
It's what they're seeing at school sometimes.
It just depends.
It all just depends on what they're seeing, what they're doing, where they are.
You know what I mean?
And if you have them in an environment that isn't very positive, then that's what's going to happen.
You're going to have unpositive results.
eight three three two one two ten seventeen that's our two talk text line we're checking out your text right now and if you want to call in get in on this conversation we need to hear your truth Alfonso Dupree says he can go to an alternative school that's true he can and there's a lot of people in those alternative schools they're jam-packed you know I mean it is what it is right
They're there for a reason.
I mean, I'm sure he's probably spending a little time in juvenile detention, unfortunately, and that's not a great place either.
Right?
So what do we do?
What do we do with our kids that fall out of line?
We can't ban them from every school, can we?
Just let them go to alternative school and that's it.
Can't ban them from every school.
I mean,
Sometimes, you know, you can ban them, you can certainly ban them from the school that they were acting up in, but you can't do all, you know, just say, send them to his mom.
Y'all ain't right.
Wait a minute, somebody said, Bailey, you know you live in Brown, dear, but say Milwaukee.
That's not true.
I actually do live in Milwaukee.
I live in the city of Milwaukee.
My neighbors live in Brown Deer, some of them, but I actually live in the city of Milwaukee.
So let's see.
833-212-1017.
I'm trying to get all y'all to talk text line stuff in here too.
Let's see.
I'm suing too.
Oh, too much ninja sugar honey ice.
Y'all y'all are crazy hit me up eight three three two one two ten seven two You can't I mean you can send them back to their mama.
What what they got to be homeschooled There's a lot of homeschooling going on out here, I Mean they're paying if they didn't get it before then I go get it now The whole world oh Yeah, the whole world is violent very little spaces for peace that's true
That's true, and you got you know somebody was mentioning that game GTA a little earlier That it's a brainwashing and you know what that's probably true and In a sense because if they're too young to play some people are too young to be playing these games That's why they have parental advisories on them.
There's a lot of kids that just feel like it's just you know
Like the games aren't real Or the games are real or not real and you know, we all know that the games aren't real, but they take this From them they take something from them and think that that's the reality and it's not let's go to our true talk text line 8 3 3 2 1 2 10 17 brother Mahadee Good morning
Good morning, baby.
How are you doing miss Coleman?
Hey, I'm blessed.
Tell them to leave you alone.
baby, you can stay, you can stay wherever you want
to.
Tell them I'll put you, I'll put you in Hollywood if I have
you alone.
But when it comes to those kids, you're 100% right.
Us grown folks is responsible.
for the behavior of these kids because if you think about it, social media, the homes in the world is just violence.
Violence is rules everywhere.
So we're responsible.
We don't want to take responsibility.
And the reason why I was sent alternative to school, because I went to an alternative school, that child may need a lot of work on one because
you don't know the history of what that child has been
So not that you're abandoning the kid, but it's just that you can't have a disrupted classroom and expect for people to
But black folks problem is we don't like to take accountability.
We want to blame everybody else.
We want to blame the president, the mayors, the governors.
We want everybody to save our kids, but us.
And
that's not right.
Yeah.
And that's why that's why I sacrificed and make sure my kids grew up and brought into Wisconsin where they don't have to be victims of a lot of things.
And they had a big advantage because I paid their mother to sit at home and homeschool them till they was.
So my kids got a big advantage.
Yeah.
So we really appreciate you.
God bless you.
black weekend.
Okay.
Bless weekend.
Tell them my baby can stay wherever she
Love you.
You know, his point is valid.
His point is very valid, you know, and don't sell homeschooling short.
Because I want to tell you that I have a niece who homeschooled her kids until they were You know middle school age and all of them smart as a whip doing great very smart and You know, I just think that they came out with an advantage because of all not only the one-on-one time but
You know, I mean Just the growth that they were able to experience working at their own speed and everything because some kids can go faster than others Some kids need so you need to slow it down with that one-on-one experience I think gave them a huge advantage So when they got into school and just learning to focus and be disciplined on what you need to do if your parent is there and attentive Right So I really believe don't sleep on
don't sleep on that if you've got a good, you know, attentive parent and sometimes the kids just take over themselves and do it, you know, and do it themselves, you know, of course, with some online assistants and all that from different teachers or, you know, there's different ways to do homeschooling now, you know, there's several, there's a lot of different ways and so, I mean, that could be an advantage for that child, especially if it's a kid that's been bullied or something like that.

What a one seven the truth Bailey Coleman in y'all think this is our last break right this is our last our last segment Some of your comments off of our truth YouTube chats Sharita Barry said Alternative schools or military schools now.
You know what that used to be a thing back in the day Yeah, parents would tell their Well, first of all
There are a lot of young age, like grade school to middle school, even high school, military school, right?
That people have sent their kids to.
You don't usually hear of a lot of African Americans sending their kids to military school, but it happens, right?
I do remember that there was a period of time where black families would tell their graduating seniors it was either you get a job or you join the military.
You could even go to college.
Sometimes it's go to college or you need to get in the military.
Sometimes it was get a job or go into the military.
But that always played a role.
There was always looming in the background until more current generations.
My son was in ROTC, but I was like, whatever you want to do.
I think you need to go to college.
You could do some ROTC while you're there if you want to keep doing that.
But it wasn't pressure.
because i was like now's not the time to go to military when he graduated hey now's not the time to do that you might not want to do that so because it's already you know um and automatic you already automatically got to give your information and sign up and all the things when if you're a male when you graduate so i was like they already got your phone number and stuff but it's up to you whether you want to do that
That wasn't his plan.
His plan was to go to college.
I'm like, great, just as long as there's a plan.
But this is talking about alternatively when things happen or things go wrong at a particular school, people get kicked out of, kids get kicked out of school.
I mean, it's just a thing.
More so now than any time that I've ever seen over my period of life, you know.
Getting kicked out of school is now almost like losing a job Okay on to the next one and that happens a lot now these days people could work at a job for many years and do great job Be a great worker and then the factory closes or whatever whatever is happening You know so
These things happen.
Laurent Taylor said it depends on talking about homeschooling.
It depends on who's doing the homeschooling and the parameters.
You may be smart from from homeschooling, but you can't meet deadlines.
You don't have any socialization skills.
That's true.
You know, it just so happened when I'm talking about a reference to my family is that.
Mean they had each other money sister nephews were kind of close together and so they had each other to socialize with but some kids are You know or have lower social skills or none I needed a call said I remember teenagers going into Job Corps in the 90s.
That was a big deal Right job Corps was a big deal in the 90s.
It was a lot a lot of young people going into Job Corps.
That was you know, that was the thing
back then it was like if you came make it in school or something like that.
You know Job Corps was a good one but I mean it gave them skills.
You can't you can't deny the Job Corps didn't give young people skills.
I mean some of those people still have those skills today and they're able to craft a career or a great opportunity for themselves but it also taught them discipline and that's something that I think.
There's a few generations that have missed right that discipline and being able to learn that focus and Having that discipline to move forward and do the things that they want to do Jasmine Gooden said Yeah military or job was my options, but deep down I wanted to go to college.
So I talked
to various people.
One was a military guy.
One was a regular blue collar and one was a college grad.
There you go.
I mean, it's good for them.
It's good.
It's a good thing.
And when I talk to young people to talk to them about going to college because they don't realize, I mean, some people don't, you know, it's one thing.
I always tell my son this, you know, when I was coming up.
You don't necessarily have to go to college but It's better for you and Probably a better way to go to get that education While you can and right there in the beginning before life starts happening to you because life happens to people right
Kids start popping up happening, you know You're living here and now you're living there, you know if you have the opportunity To get that education right after high school if you can manage to do it right after high school That's great, but if not at some point It'll be great for you to go back because it gives you an opportunity to increase your value and your worth to the next employer which also usually
More than likely will bring you a higher wage Now some and that's if you're working on the corporate end, right?
But if you're starting your own business, which a lot of people are doing now You can you know do whatever you like You know and you can make money at it just depends on you and how you're rolling So you just never know it's a great situation
Let's see a Laurent Taylor said St.
John's is out there That military school is like paying for your child to go to Northwestern.
There you go Great alternative and you know what it could get them out of trouble again teaching them discipline and
You know they're gonna they're going to make sure that they know what's right and what's wrong if you somehow as a parent are not able to do that They're gonna show them the right way to go and You know that may be the thing and the answer for your child is a military school because if you don't have the backbone or you don't you're not interested in as a parent
and taking that next step with them and taking them, you know, making sure that they're doing what they're supposed to be doing and they're not out here, you know, lollygagging, then that's a good alternative.
You're gonna have to put up some money.
But, you know, but I've heard worse about other students in NPS and they're still in the school system.
They just had to move to a different school.
So we'll see what happens with this.
I mean he did get arrested and I don't you know I We got away until all the facts come out on this one and there's probably going to be limited Information that we'll be able to get just because of the age of the students involved 13 and what was it Xavier eight years old 13 and eight I believe and so there's going to be a limit to the information right
It's not going to be just out there that we can that we can get all the information like we would be able to with anybody else or any other situation.
But with that being said, you know, military school could be an option.
You know, but discipline is important and he does need to know that you, you know, this ain't no game.
And he's lucky that that other young person that was involved in this situation didn't get.
He didn't have any life-threatening issues because a lot of these kids don't realize, hey, you know what?
I could take somebody's life just by fighting them.
And we didn't think about that when we was kids.
I didn't get into a lot of fights.
I was, you know.
But, you know, there's the thing, right?
There's always that possibility.
So we gotta teach our kids if they're your grandkids or whatever.
Talk to them.
Take a minute out.
Oh, they wanted your attention.
They may say they don't want your attention, but that's really what it is.
Go on and whisper a word to them.
Ask that next young person you see that may be coming up to you in your establishment or wherever you are.
Hey, what you doing?
What do you think?
What do you want to do when you grow up?
That's planting a seed.
Tell them, you know what?
You should go to college.
Right?
You never know when you plan to see.
There you go.
There you go.
All right.
I'm out of here.
Home.
Oh, show.
What's up next?
Home and I'll see you on Monday.
Have a great weekend and remember to trust God, do good and know that something great is coming your way.
Thanks for listening to Truth in the Morning.
