First of all, let's be clear. First of all, let's be clear school is by definition indoctrination. That's the debt that is exactly what our education system is but it is.
20:26.43
Bruce Anthony
Me.
20:32.66
Bruce Anthony
What it's education. They say they call it education.
20:35.45
J. Aundrea
Already that no, you're it. It is indoctrination into ah an American way of of thinking a way of working through problems. A way of understanding history. All of it is indoctrination. That's number 1 number 2 just say we don't like black people and we are just tired of them and we just don't like black people at all like just say that.
21:05.40
Bruce Anthony
I don't I don't I don't think it's we don't like black people I I'm going to be honest I don't think it's that okay, not totally not totally par. Yeah part of it is that but not totally.
21:14.40
J. Aundrea
No, it's it's wherere we it's it is part part of it is that Um, but ah, a large part of it is. We're tired of being uncomfortable for being white.
21:24.80
Bruce Anthony
And and for those people that say what they feel guilty that talking about this stuff makes them feel guilty I would say this you benefit from all the privileges that your forefathers gave to you.
21:39.86
J. Aundrea
Me.
21:42.16
Bruce Anthony
You talk about it all the time your freedoms and I'm not talking about people who are defending the freedoms because once again, they're just defending the freedoms that you were already given you can't bask and a benefit in the goodness of the forefathers without acknowledging the atrocities.
21:50.90
J. Aundrea
So right.
22:01.26
Bruce Anthony
Can't just take the good and not take the bad. You can't have your cake and eat it too either take none of it or take all of it. So if you feel so much pride swelling your heart for being American and being a patriot recognize all the bad as well and that comes with guilt pride and guilt that is what it is.
22:19.33
J. Aundrea
Yeah, it's ah it's unavoidable because the past if we are looking at it objectively was trash it was it was straight up horrible and you need.
22:20.53
Bruce Anthony
That is what it is.
22:29.75
Bruce Anthony
I.
22:36.53
J. Aundrea
To reckon with that and reconcile that like there is no escape from an uncomfortable past because that it happened it really happened and there are people who still to this day.
22:46.28
Bruce Anthony
E.
22:53.16
J. Aundrea
They call it. Um post-slave syndrome I Think don't quote me on that but there there is still a generational trauma that we carry from.
23:06.89
Bruce Anthony
Um, there.
23:09.50
J. Aundrea
What we went through during enslavement.
23:11.58
Bruce Anthony
We're not only enslavement everything after that as well because you know what I always tell people all every day is I have my mom and dad's birthdays tetted on my arm. They were born in fifty seven and fifty eight which means that I am the first one of that generation that was born.
23:24.53
J. Aundrea
M.
23:28.46
Bruce Anthony
With all of her rights given by the government. My parents were not born with all of their rights given because the civil rights act wasn't until 65 the voting rights act wasn't until 1967 and guess what they still didn't even start integration in schools until the.
23:32.91
J. Aundrea
Right.
23:45.73
Bruce Anthony
They started it in certain areas in the 60 s but they really didn't push it push into the seventy s which means that my parents basically weren't getting equal education all the way up through high school up through high school. So don't tell me if I have a friend of mine I was like I grew up poor.
23:56.85
J. Aundrea
E.
24:02.84
Bruce Anthony
And I was like no, there's a difference between being poor and broke I was like you had your own room in ah in a house That's not poor. That's not poor. We didn't have a lot of money cause you know my parents messed up a little bit of money well and then they wouldn't spend a lot of money. Well I was like that's being broke and then being cheap.
24:04.17
J. Aundrea
Right. Yeah,, that's how poor.
24:20.20
J. Aundrea
Yeah, that's not poor. Yeah yeah.
24:21.90
Bruce Anthony
That's not poor. That's not poor. It's not the same thing and well I had to go to you know college you know was real poor. Everybody's pooring college you know I had I had I had right? Everybody's pouring college is not the same thing I had to work my way up. Well no.
24:31.35
J. Aundrea
Everybody's poor in college. Everybody's everybody's living off cup of noodles and water everybody.
24:39.54
Bruce Anthony
Okay, because once again, you came from a family that had a house and you had a bedroom you had your own bedroom I was like you know how old I was until I got my own bedroom 1312 technically if you want want to count the way and I you know, finagled you out of your room I did I did do that.
24:43.35
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, right.
24:52.84
J. Aundrea
What you did? yeah.
24:58.13
Bruce Anthony
Um, but we're not done here. Um the advanced placement african-american studies course is a new course that was being developed by the college board. So this course was being developed by the college board in Arkansas scholars.
25:13.60
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes.
25:17.20
Bruce Anthony
Legitimate scholars said no this is good to teach the kids.
25:21.69
J. Aundrea
Not not just in Arkansas. It was a nationwide program. It's in I think I want to say like 60 schools. It's the same one that Florida yeah had them. Ah, basically they caved to that political pressure college board.
25:29.69
Bruce Anthony
Florida.
25:38.55
J. Aundrea
And gutted the program in Florida completely changed. What was really a ah gorgeous program I mean comprehensive like it was I would have loved to have taken that in high school.
25:53.83
Bruce Anthony
But the problem is and yeah I I wasn't able to take african-american studies until college and when I took when I took the course once again, remember everybody ladies and gentlemen I'm historian so when I took the course I was like that was the first time I learned about the Tulsa massacre and I only learned about it because of that course.
26:10.86
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
26:13.73
Bruce Anthony
Most people learned about the tusa massacre because of a tv show on Hbo called watchmen that's when they learned about I didn't know but anything about this. That's a problem. There are so many massacres that have happened in our country's history that have been whitewashed and covered up and not been told and and.
26:19.60
J. Aundrea
Um.
26:22.58
J. Aundrea
Yes.
26:33.24
Bruce Anthony
I get it. You don't want to look at past situations that might be traumatic to you because your people enslaved another group of people and it makes you feel guilty. But what happens to you in your personal life when you don't address your past traumas.
26:51.52
J. Aundrea
They always make ah their way into your into your present.
26:54.57
Bruce Anthony
Mental Health therapists will tell you all the time if you do not address your past dramas they are going to affect you in your present and future so you can sweep this under the rug and not deal with it and not want to talk about and not learn from it. Okay.
27:05.43
J. Aundrea
Um.
27:12.39
Bruce Anthony
It's going to affect you later Trust me and if it's not you. It's gonna be your kids and your grandkids and so on because.
27:16.42
J. Aundrea
And and suppressing knowledge has never been a tactic that Works. It is never book burning all of this that this has never been a tactic. That works eventually people rise up of the threat of being suppressed or having knowledge suppressed or repressed.
27:35.63
Bruce Anthony
Well.
27:46.53
Bruce Anthony
The only time this has worked is during Nazi germany now americans if you want to be the same as nazi Germany keep on going with the way you're doing because that's it's they're doing. They did exactly the same thing.
27:58.10
J. Aundrea
Is right.
28:05.97
J. Aundrea
Um.
28:06.35
Bruce Anthony
They whitewashed history. They made they made themselves the the victors of everything they banned books burned books persecute anybody that stood out to him that just sounds airily similar because I feel like yeah yeah.
28:19.61
J. Aundrea
Yeah, they're playing because that that's the playbook they're using. Yeah yes.
28:26.19
Bruce Anthony
That's the playbook to you. It's a playbook actually throughout his history. It's the playbook. They've always used daughters of confederacy I said once again, there's a remix and it's the mom's liberty. It's the same thing. It's the same thing so you know in a white watch history. Okay I tell you what in the black community. We gonna keep passing and on we gonna keep knowing the history.
28:37.92
J. Aundrea
Um.
28:42.17
J. Aundrea
We are where yeah because we're living it because we're actually living it so in order to for us to operate in this country.
28:45.42
Bruce Anthony
We we gonna keep knowing the history. Um, so good luck to you guys every day every single day.
29:00.61
Bruce Anthony
In.
29:00.82
J. Aundrea
We have to know more than you we have to we have to be able to navigate both of the Americas the one we live in and the one you live in.
29:12.37
Bruce Anthony
And that Alabama Boat bral should tell youall some we ain't going back y'all gonna have a fights on your hands where with y'all gonna have a fight on your hands.
29:16.19
J. Aundrea
We tired. Yeah a yes. And and I'm sorry but we live through I've said this before we lived through enslavement reconstruction. The civil Rights era and made it all the way to the Presidency. We're not going anywhere. We're not going anywhere.
29:38.78
Bruce Anthony
No, where to where're to we endure so much and still come out on top and I wonder if the roles were reverse could you I don't know y'all are kind of sensitive. It's soft I'm not talking about all white people.
29:47.45
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
29:56.90
Bruce Anthony
Let me make that clear I'm talking about the people that don't want to deal with history and the reality of still stuff that are going on today. They let those? Yes, yes, not not once again I feel like I had to say this all the time. It's not. It's not all white people. Are we talking about.
30:02.68
J. Aundrea
Yes, we're talking about the people who are being willfully ignorant.
30:11.91
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah now I've have had 3 white people over my house there you go.
30:16.87
Bruce Anthony
Some of my closest friends are white. Right? I've been married to a white person there you go I do.
30:28.44
J. Aundrea
We all know there we there You do not go. We always say you can't use proximity to blackness to absolve yourself of racism. The reverse is also true. We can't just say I know couple white people. Ah It'ss absorb. Yes.
30:37.87
Bruce Anthony
Way what you may I Yeah know um I was doing that. Yeah and I was doing that as a joke. Yeah yeah, okay, that's clear because you got to put that out for the people out there like that because people are dumb as hell let me give you an example.
30:48.70
J. Aundrea
Yeah, know you were being disingenuous, but every you're being facetious.
30:56.87
J. Aundrea
Um.
30:57.71
Bruce Anthony
Ah, talked about on my show on Tuesday the Melly Mal and Eminem beef have you have you heard about this have you seen it all right? Well Melly Mal's rap dis was really horrible and eminem was eminem like he's one of the greatest listest of all time.
31:01.27
J. Aundrea
Yes, I've heard a little bit about it.
31:11.86
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:16.25
Bruce Anthony
And the reason why Melly Mel had a problem with it. It was like he's white. That's the only reason why he's fifth on the top 50 greatest rappers I'm like no because he can wrap his ass off. That's it's like.
31:25.55
J. Aundrea
No, he really really really can like I mean a period his lyricism delivery everything I mean he really really is good like ah I don't he deserves to be a oh he deserves to be on the list.
31:35.69
Bruce Anthony
Really like I don't and I was like 5 is about writing like he's in that range like 3 4 5 six seven like once you get once you get past the top 2 then everything else is it's like if if you compare the greatest basketball players all time.
31:47.51
J. Aundrea
M.
31:54.26
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
31:54.65
Bruce Anthony
You know it's always 3 it's Mj Kobe and Lebron after you get past that it's just all. Ah you know they're all bunched together. But emine m is not the top tier because for me, it's still rock. Kim is still number one. But anyway so I was saying. First I started saying it's kind of reverse racism and then I was like no, it's not because black people don't have the power structure in this in this situation and and people were like the power has nothing to do with racism and I was like it's kind of literally in the illite in of du definition. It. It talks about you know? ah.
32:19.78
J. Aundrea
Um.
32:22.72
J. Aundrea
This literally in the definition. Yeah.
32:30.63
Bruce Anthony
Racism towards a marginalized group. That's that's literally what it is and a marginalized when's the last time in the history of the world has a marginalized group had the power. So if you have intellectual thought.
32:31.59
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
32:40.53
J. Aundrea
Christ.
32:49.97
Bruce Anthony
Then you know what the definition means no Melly Mell is being bigoted absolutely if black people held the power in hip hop then then you could say that they were being racist but guess what they don't hold the power in hip hop because the majority of record execs.
32:50.19
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes.
33:07.14
J. Aundrea
And.
33:08.34
Bruce Anthony
Are white so they don't hold the power. They just it's just it's kind of like basketball. All the owners the majority of the owners are white. They actually hold the power the play The majority of players are just black same thing in hip hop. So it's a right? so.
33:17.69
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, the people who sign the checks are always the one that ah that are the true power like um.
33:26.91
Bruce Anthony
Melan Mel was not being racist. He was being bigoted and anybody who says Eminem is only where he is because he's white. It's not being racist. They're being bigoted please ladies and gentlemen pick up a dictionary and read the book. You know it's it's not really that difficult like those people those people that argue with me.
33:36.56
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, it's not hard.
33:43.83
Bruce Anthony
You know I have friends in my life and they'll say stuff. Did you hear about this and that and and I was like where'd you get that from oh I read in an article and I was like did the article say that Well, that's what the headline said and I'm like so you didn't read the article. You're just going off the headline. Yeah, that's what the headline says I was like you're an idiot.
33:58.13
J. Aundrea
Um, you got read there. You got to read the article he asked? yeah.
34:03.28
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, you got you got to you got to read the article like the headlines are always cess sensationalized to get you to read the article. You don't base fact off of headlines read the articles.
34:12.52
J. Aundrea
The line. The line is literally not judging a book by his cover like I know that that means he you know you shouldn't judge someone based on how they look, but it's also you hit a book.
34:25.74
Bruce Anthony
Was a book. He.
34:31.40
J. Aundrea
Don't just look at the cover open the book open the damn book take a read.
34:37.42
Bruce Anthony
And if these people that are so against african-american studies picked up a book and actually read and not gotten excerpts off of Google or what other people say and read the books they might learn something.
34:51.15
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
34:56.22
Bruce Anthony
And it might realize there's no indoctrination. It's a teaching of your country's history.
35:01.25
J. Aundrea
Right? What do you? What? exactly do you think that's the question. What do you think we're indoctrinating them for what do you think.
35:14.35
Bruce Anthony
Um, yeah is it is it.
35:20.42
J. Aundrea
The end result is that you do that You don't want us to teach these courses. What do you think? the indoctrination is for empathy because if what you're trying to avoid is white people being empathetic.
35:30.60
Bruce Anthony
Ah, um.
35:39.15
J. Aundrea
To the plight of marginalized groups This then you're saying the quiet part out loud.
35:44.66
Bruce Anthony
I think I think it could be that I think that that that's I Never even thought about that I think they could be that I think it also could be think about what influences their kids We you know we just brought up hip hop right? Hip hop is not just in the black community.
35:59.98
J. Aundrea
Um, no, it's.
36:04.50
Bruce Anthony
It dictates youth in America.
36:06.73
J. Aundrea
Yes, the way that I hear gen z speak like the language that they use is born a hundred percent out of black culture and a v e.
36:24.00
Bruce Anthony
Let's let's let's just be clear. Ah everything That's ever been popular in this country has been influenced by the black community people think people think rock music was started with white people. Nope.
36:33.36
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
36:39.40
J. Aundrea
Now.
36:41.95
Bruce Anthony
It was started by black people country Ai n't nothing but bluegrass and that was literally started by black people in the appalachs like it is it is everything that you think of as americana was actually borrowed or stolen.
36:50.65
J. Aundrea
Um.
36:54.58
J. Aundrea
There.
37:00.90
Bruce Anthony
From black people. We influence culture. Oh yes, foxes Fox Fox started it W B U P N well
37:01.50
J. Aundrea
Not only that is how networks get started. You ever notice later networks. They start out with black content Fox The W B so upnc w they all wait. They all start. He yes yes, right? with black programming to draw people to the networks and then they slowly switch it over to more more white programming or white lead.
37:19.52
Bruce Anthony
CW was W B and UPN merged together to create cw but they both started out as black networks. Yes.
37:34.81
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, yeah.
37:37.80
J. Aundrea
Ah, cast casts and programming. So I mean I don't know what the point of what we were saying that was I don't know but might right.
37:44.71
Bruce Anthony
That black people influence culture and that with black peoples that that could be a fear that you lose that white people feel like they would be losing their culture the more they let people into our culture because they'll also realize that.
37:54.28
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
37:59.40
J. Aundrea
Um.
38:03.53
Bruce Anthony
A lot of their culture is just borrowed or stolen from our culture and and then it what what is identity I asked this question on my Tuesday episode. What is there? What is american right? Like what is what is american food american food is basically remixed from.
38:08.61
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
38:15.14
J. Aundrea
Are.
38:22.63
J. Aundrea
Yes, who you could say Southern food or comfort food. But again that comes from black people. Yes.
38:22.66
Bruce Anthony
Other ethnicities like even are people brought. Yeah so well. Okay, but that's still technically american right? but people were bringing up what's America food and a lot of people said barbecue and I was like okay, you're right barbecue. But other than that. Like there's nothing else when you and we take food from other cultures and just remix it and make it american when you went to italy it was that food over in italy was nothing like italian food here in America chinese food in China is nothing like chinese food in America but.
38:53.69
J. Aundrea
No, not even close, nothing nothing. Okay.
39:01.67
Bruce Anthony
Mexican food. Our neighbor is nothing like the mexican food in America we take things and remix it and there's nothing wrong with that if that's the american way to take something and remix it. How remixes are cool.
39:05.79
J. Aundrea
Nope. Nope.
39:15.77
J. Aundrea
That's the that's the whole purpose of the melting pot we were so you were supposed to come here. Wow Supposed to come here and it would all just be a melting pot of cultures and.
39:18.20
Bruce Anthony
Yes. Supposed to.
39:32.60
Bruce Anthony
Well no, it's it is that way whether people want I just I just gave you examples I mean.
39:32.77
J. Aundrea
Ain't turn out that way it it is but it but it should be our pride as a country that we are a mix of different cultures.
39:43.92
Bruce Anthony
Should be no, but we had to it has everything we have to be the best at everything and everything has to come from us. We have to be the world leader. We can't be a follower and if we remix something it means we just followed something.
39:50.72
J. Aundrea
But um.
40:00.50
J. Aundrea
Um.
40:00.17
Bruce Anthony
So we like lying to ourselves. This country is always lied to itself about what it is which is the reason why history is so very very important to learn.
40:02.39
J. Aundrea
But but it's just interesting that the things that are uniquely American the things that we export to the world in terms of culture music art Any of that. Comes from who you.
40:22.79
Bruce Anthony
Black folks. So the way to go say that with but that's true. That's true. You got people. There was something I saw on Instagram they were in Japan and ah japanese people were eating and just wasn't these weren't tourists. These were japanese people that were just in the area. And 1 of them was wearing a wuang shirt and then they didn't know each other they were sit in town. They was like wo tang wou tang clan ain't none wit Woot Ta Clan and that's that last I checked all the members of the wu tang clan absolutely black but that culture and identity made it over Japan.
40:43.20
J. Aundrea
Um.
40:49.56
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
40:53.80
J. Aundrea

Bruce Anthony
You know what I did not see who's a country singer I don't know Timothy Mcgraw is that a country singer. Oh that's good I brought up Timothy Mcro because that's a fed. Well, it's a fantastic segue.
41:07.63
J. Aundrea
Yes I don't know that he goes by Timothy I think it's just Tim Mcgraw
41:19.13
Bruce Anthony
To the blind side and that's next because he was the dad. He was the dead and yeah, he was the dad at hey Las a gentlemen and that was an accident but that was a good accident and we're going to talk about the block.

What racist thing is happening now what anti l g b t q thing is happening now like you new year certain space. You just you just know so it's nothing so is nothing surprising. Um.
41:58.44
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, basically.
42:12.17
J. Aundrea
The sad thing is that they're really depriving. It's funny because they love when we produce things like hidden figures and stuff like that and they they love that. But it's like you wouldn't know anything about. That part of our history unless you took Ap African-american studies.
42:32.88
Bruce Anthony
Oh we'll get into that in the next segment but that all has to come with the white savior that has to come with a white savior that's on the way they that that's only the way they'll learn about some and oh white people saved them white people saved them.
42:38.13
J. Aundrea
Um, yes, yeah, oh John John Glenn ah John Glenn treated him with respect. You see that? Yeah, but there's nothing wrong with identifying with the good guy. You can do that. But.
42:53.38
Bruce Anthony
You could do you get it? Yeah, you could take them on any way even though that even though that wasn't true everything that was portrayed in that movie like wasn't true like you know John Glenn wasn't a real person. He was a what do you call an amalgamation. That's not the right word.
42:58.80
J. Aundrea
So okay, like yes, yeah, no, no. John Glenn is a real person.
43:13.35
Bruce Anthony
No, the the Kevin Costner character

Bruce Anthony
Okay, yeah, okay, yeah, the asna but but we don't know that he was that nice. He did ask for the lady to recalculate it. But it wasn't as dramatic as that, but the character costner character was is you call it amalgamation. What do you call it when you take a whole bunch of characters and put him in 1 in the movie.
43:34.25
J. Aundrea
Yes, an amalgamation. Yeah yeah, so happens where you go to school. Perhaps we.
43:37.60
Bruce Anthony
I Didn't know if I said it right I said it right? And oh how education ladies and gentlemen education with that's what happens when you go to school. You could think that maybe you what you said might be right.
43:49.10
J. Aundrea
He right I Love that in the moment in real time we're watching you grapple with this. But that's that's you threw it out there. You said it you were right congratulations.
43:56.66
Bruce Anthony
So. I wasn't I wasn't I did now I was right I I knew what I was saying but was still unsure about It. You know these big words you know I'm not a English major there.
44:07.92
J. Aundrea
Yeah, no I get it I get it. Amalgamation is a big word too. This is a lot.
44:16.84
Bruce Anthony
Um, and it was and I you know I mumble over my word I got speech impediment. Don't don't judge me I'm just out here trying to live my best life and be the best that I could be all right? We're going to talk about why saviors. Next.
44:20.85
J. Aundrea
No I feel you.
44:36.15
Bruce Anthony
All right Jay I said it we're gonna talk about white saviors next everybody remembers the move the blind side. Did you ever watch that.
44:39.22
J. Aundrea
I did see that by accident. There's a fly in here as killing me. So if you'll see me swatting. That's why I don't know how I got in here.
44:48.31
Bruce Anthony
Okay, all right? ah.
44:53.17
Bruce Anthony
Well, the blind side was a movie about Michael Orr and bringing up his his lifestyle is kind of like a poor and homeless kid and but he was big and he was good at football. So this white family took him in and gave him a home and had him sign his life away.
44:56.88
J. Aundrea
Anything.
45:04.54
J. Aundrea
Fuck who.
45:12.33
J. Aundrea
And.
45:12.94
Bruce Anthony
Ah, like Devil's advocate but he's recently come out and the family is I pronounce it Michael Orr even though if you look up his name OHER it sounds like it should be whore her whore here.
45:26.20
J. Aundrea
No, no, no it might it looks like O'ha it doesn't look like Horrorre is twoy is twoy.
45:30.35
Bruce Anthony
Then doesn't seem like it should be or or is o r okay and the family I think the family's name is to we? Yeah okay, okay. He's filed a lawsuit against Sean and Leann tooey that was Tim Mcgraw and Sandra Bullock's character in the blind side. The family who took him in when he was a teenager or claims that he was tricked into signing the conservatorship believing that he was going to be adopted by the twoies and that he never received fair payment for the movie.
45:49.61
J. Aundrea
And.
46:04.00
Bruce Anthony
That he was portrayed in in response to the petition that twoies described themselves as heartbroken over these events and then a statement issued on their behalf by attorney Martin Singer they also alleged to shake down that or demanded $15000000 from them and threatened to plan a negative press story if they didn't pay up. Couple said that they have always been upfront with or about the conservativeship and that any profit from the blind side has been split within the family equally. Um, so when I watched the movie I said this shit don't sound right.
46:35.40
J. Aundrea
Um, right? yeah.
46:38.87
Bruce Anthony
As soon as I watch the movie so me being who I am and something I encourage other people to do if a movie is based on a true story realize the key words that are in that sentence based on a true story that means that there have been liberties taking.
46:50.36
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yes, for example, he was like I didn't need to be explained the rules of football as a teenager I knew what how football was played but they.
46:58.13
Bruce Anthony
Of that true story.
47:09.53
J. Aundrea
But they show him later like in as a teenager and they have to explain this his position is like no that didn't have Yes, Yes, yes.
47:17.74
Bruce Anthony
They portray him as really dumb they portray him as a dumb a big black dumb ass kid. That's how they portray him in a movie. Um, and. It wasn't only that he was like I wasn't told how to sleep in a bed I know how to sleep in a bed. There's a scene where she's where she's like you know that the bed is yours you sleep in the bed. It's like he so he was really he was really annoyed when the movie came out because it betrayed him as dumb and he was like there's a difference between not having the education.
47:32.79
J. Aundrea
Yes.
47:47.90
J. Aundrea
Yes I he was bounced around from house to house. He was homeless. He went to I think they said 11 different schools in his first nine years of education. So yeah, he was probably behind.
47:48.10
Bruce Anthony
And being dumb.
48:06.60
J. Aundrea
He had to repeat first and second grade well because the kid never stayed in a school long enough for them to even you know what I'm saying so the the way that they portrayed him like he was slow I do remember that and I was like that.
48:20.76
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, they betrayed him as slow and he did. He couldn't do nothing? Um, but it's funny because the two weeks have definitely benefited from knowing him and it and it's also funny that they so they had him sign a conservative ship now. Most people I would say 99%
48:24.47
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
48:29.00
J. Aundrea
Yes. Man.
48:40.10
Bruce Anthony
Ah, the population out there in the world did not know what a conservatorship was we all learned what a conservativevatorship was during the brittany situation that's happened over the last couple of years because I had no idea what a conservative ship was so they said that they had him sign theervatorship so that he could get into school.
48:45.57
J. Aundrea
Yes, no.
48:59.14
Bruce Anthony
There's already been lawyers in the state of Tennessee that have said that what they say they needed to do that because he was already 18 There's already been lawyers that said, no, you can adopt somebody that's eighteen that that wasn't necessarily the case then they tried to say well that was what we needed to do to get him into school and and.
49:08.89
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes.
49:17.85
Bruce Anthony
Other people that have done colleges like no that wasn't needed so instead of adopting them they signed they had him sign a legal conservatorship here's the part that pisses me off there are people out there that are coming out now saying white people because he's black and the family is white. White people coming out saying he knew the whole town with conservatorship was and they're half right? This is his own words in his memoir that was written in 2011 and this is what they're using as evidence in the 2011 memoir.
49:48.80
J. Aundrea
Um.
49:51.81
Bruce Anthony
I beat the odds from homeless to the blind side Michael Orr wrote about his conservatorship with the twoy family. He wrote that he became a legal member of the 2 wo-year family and that it felt like a familiar formality since he had been part of the family for more than a year at that point. He also wrote that Sean and leann tooy would be named as his legal conservators and that they explained to him that it was means pretty much the exact same thing as adoptive parents, but that the laws were were written in a way that take ah take his age into account.
50:24.99
J. Aundrea
Um.
50:25.50
Bruce Anthony
These were her these were their words so instead of explaining to him hey this is legal conservatorship which means that we have control over your money and any future earnings that you have but it's exactly like ah they didn't say that they just said oh it's exactly like adoption. This is 2011
50:32.43
J. Aundrea
Yes, yes.
50:42.19
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
50:44.21
Bruce Anthony
So he knew that it it was a legal conservatorship. But once again, nobody knew what a conservatorship was right? So if you say oh this is just like this the same things adoption is just because of your age. Okay, yeah, now we family you adopted me I'm part of the family.
50:51.30
J. Aundrea
Um.
50:55.81
J. Aundrea
Yeah, and you can you can tell in the way that he describes it in the prior in the in the book he says I became a legal part of their family but it felt like just to form out he in his mind even in writing the book at that Time. He thought the conservatorship was just like him being adopted.
51:19.30
Bruce Anthony
That's that so when the people are trying to throw that out there. It like he knew no he did not know nobody would know he was eighteen years old First of all 2011 he's older, but even in 2011 if you say a conservativevatorship to me.
51:22.32
J. Aundrea
Um, no, um.
51:36.57
Bruce Anthony
He said yeah, it's just like being adopted I'd be like okay I trust them y'all took me in y'all my family y'all got my back right? It is just now now that I this is my own interpretation. He was like wait a minute. What is this Britney Spears conservatorship they have control over your money. Well wait a minute.
51:38.66
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.
51:53.86
Bruce Anthony
Been playing football all this time I kind of pay attention to my money. But I've got these contracts most of my life is built around football and people out there on this. There are gonna be a light where he's just playing a sport. No I was about to cuss but I'm not naw people. He's not just paying and ah playing a sport. It's a job. He's got practice.
52:12.56
J. Aundrea
Um, me and.
52:13.22
Bruce Anthony
He's got otas. He's got to study to Playbook he's got meetings. It is a full time. It is more of a job than what you people go out there and do every day I guarantee you you think it's just a sport that they just go out there and play. No, they do not and it's year-round.
52:20.32
J. Aundrea
Right.
52:28.98
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, um.
52:30.39
Bruce Anthony
It's year round even during the offs season they still have to do work and they're more intelligent and better in their field that you are in your field I guarantee you because they're the top of the top. So he's not paying he knows he probably has accountants and everything like that right? So he's just paying attention to money that's coming in. But.
52:36.60
J. Aundrea
Right.
52:45.31
J. Aundrea
Um.
52:48.73
Bruce Anthony
He's been saying for a long time yo it's been an issue about the proceeds from this movie this movie won oscars Sandra Bull got an Oscar which by the way stop trying to take away her Oscar she has nothing to do with the fact that two weeks was shady.
52:53.87
J. Aundrea
You're right.
52:58.87
J. Aundrea
Yeah, her her performance in a fictional film because it wasn't a documentary y'all like let's let's be clear her performance in a fictional film has nothing to do with any of this stuff.
53:05.50
Bruce Anthony
It was not a documentary.
53:13.16
Bruce Anthony
And I guarantee you if she knew the true story. She probably wouldn't have done that movie because she would have been like some shade is going on here. So for all y'all people trying to defend the twoies. Let's let's make it clear they in the movie and in the book they said they adopted him that was a lie.
53:18.24
J. Aundrea
Probably not no.
53:28.12
J. Aundrea
Yes, that was a lie she is not Michael to be yeah, the lie detected test determined.
53:32.58
Bruce Anthony
I'm gonna I'm gonna be on my ah more p right? Yeah I'm go be on my ah more p right now they say that they adopted them in both the book and the movie that was a lie that was a lie. Okay.
53:45.97
J. Aundrea
Yeah, hundred percent
53:48.38
Bruce Anthony
They said he knew about the conservatorship. The lie detector said says maybe but he didn't know the whole truth about the conservatorship. They say they say that they they split the money and from the proceeds in the movie.
53:53.20
J. Aundrea
Um, but.
53:55.44
J. Aundrea
He didn't know the whole truth. He was not told the told truth.
54:05.49
J. Aundrea
The light detector to that's a lot now.
54:07.49
Bruce Anthony
Lie detectors test says that's a lie so who am I going to believe and I'm not taking black or white in this I'm just taking I'm taking if you look at it from objectively and use common sense. These people lied to him about what he was signed as an 18 year old kid. That he was trusting them and believed in them and felt like a part of the family and now he's probably going through accounting and realizing some money is missing and he's claiming. It's about fifteen mill now I'm sorry.
54:30.97
J. Aundrea
Um.
54:39.41
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
54:41.55
Bruce Anthony
If you owe me 15 mill i'mma call you all out your name sideways and I don't care if I got 15 mill in the bank if you took 15 mill from me I'm gonna need all fifteen Mil of that money back like JC said
54:43.32
J. Aundrea
Yes, period.
54:50.53
J. Aundrea
Every single red scent. Yes.
54:58.26
Bruce Anthony
If you owe me a dollar you ain't giving me 9 I want that whole dollar ninety cent it was ninety cent that's when if you owe me dollars ninety cent so that's a Michael Orit's way it just pissed me off when I was reading the day cause somebody brought it up to me and it was like.
55:04.65
J. Aundrea
Um, period. Yeah, and yeah, yeah.
55:15.82
Bruce Anthony
He knew about it and I was like you didn't read everything you're reading excerpts from a book and it's clear that you didn't even read the excerpt you let somebody tell you what the excerpt was because if you read the excerpt you would hear in his own words that he thought the legal conservatorship was nothing more than just an adoption.
55:17.69
J. Aundrea
Yes.
55:33.45
Bruce Anthony
Process because he was eighteen years old because of age situation.
55:36.50
J. Aundrea
And I just find it very hypocritical that Sean tooy said it's upsetting to think we would make money off of our children boat if that wasn't the case. Why did you have the conservatorship.
55:49.80
Bruce Anthony
Right? right.
55:54.72
J. Aundrea
Why'd you have the conservatorship because you knew that if you put enough behind this young man that he was gonna go pro.
56:01.50
Bruce Anthony
And there's so many people connected with this through author of the book. New sean tooey Hugh freeze was the coach for his high school coach has made a college career and everybody has found out how shady he is as a person. There's so many people connected to this that is shady as hell. But I just go back to the point of.
56:13.20
J. Aundrea
1
56:20.17
Bruce Anthony
This is the main point that you can't dispute that the twoies have claimed in books movies and in speaking engagements that they adopted him but he believed that he was adopted.
56:29.36
J. Aundrea
Yes, he believed. He was adopted.
56:37.18
Bruce Anthony
And they have portrayed themselves to the public as saying that they adopted him so not only did he did they lie to him. They've been lying to us the entire time. So why would you ever give them the benefit of a doubt they started the whole thing on a lie.
56:39.96
J. Aundrea
In here.
56:49.19
J. Aundrea
Right? yeah.
56:56.58
Bruce Anthony
Sorry, but but what but you know what people out there. They want to believe what they want to believe and they don't care if people get they don't care people lie to him case in point former president Trump.
57:04.79
J. Aundrea
Ah.
57:08.72
J. Aundrea
Diamond number 4
57:12.24
Bruce Anthony
I I was gonna talk about it but like I mean seriously, it's just another indicment but it a Rico is a Rico though are all right? So former president Trump.
57:17.89
J. Aundrea
It's just another it. It's another indictment but you know hey can't let it. We can't let it go fast.
57:30.66
J. Aundrea
Through.
57:31.12
Bruce Anthony
Got a rico charge in the state of Georgia is a state case but it's so many um people that are connected. There's so many co-defendants like 13 to 14 co-defendants and I was watching news earlier today and.
57:41.63
J. Aundrea
And.
57:48.25
Bruce Anthony
These legal fees gonna cost giuliani.
57:50.50
J. Aundrea
Yeah, but don't worry. Don't worry as all of his ah all of his fans all foot that bill. Um, yeah.
57:55.71
Bruce Anthony
Pay for him but not his codedefendants Giuliani has been reported to go to him and be like yo man can you help me with some of these legal bills and he was like not now which is dumb because.
58:07.65
J. Aundrea
No, why would you think he would do that.
58:14.77
Bruce Anthony
Everybody that's ever been wrapped up in a Rio case always pays for her their co-defendant if they're the top dog in that organization they pay for the co-defends because if you don't them co-defendants are going to turn on you.
58:26.13
J. Aundrea
Yeah, it looks running through 19 defendants more than two dozen unnamed co-conspirators and the group's actions in over half a dozen jurisdictions
58:30.10
Bruce Anthony
E.
58:41.00
Bruce Anthony
And that's all gonna get wrapped up into the federal case. So some of these people for rail going to jail not Trump he'll never go to jail um, and one of my friends. 1 of my friends was like I don't want to put it out there I don't.
58:46.75
J. Aundrea
Now now.
58:58.38
Bruce Anthony
But it don't matter if Rudy get convicted because I don't think he gonna make it's like what it's like what is I um, don't think you're gonna make it and I looked it up I was like well how old is Rudy he was like you got to be like 171 Rudy Giuliani is 79
59:03.66
J. Aundrea
Um, fair, fair fair.
59:13.33
J. Aundrea
He looks ancient.
59:16.30
Bruce Anthony
He is only two years older than Trump and this is the 1 thing I give Trump for 77 that man got a lot energy I don't know what he be doing I guess stupid make you got a lot energy I guess if you he's stupid youin't got to think about nothing else. You don't get tired.
59:22.87
J. Aundrea
Yeah I don't know what it is I guess I guess ignorance ignorance keeps you young ladies and gentlemen So stop reading books.
59:36.69
Bruce Anthony
They they say well we already know They't reading books. It's case point there the rain written ain't read no books anybody out there reading books and I'll be I'll be real honest, you know I talk a lot of ish about people reading books and I will be honest I don't read a lot of books anymore.
59:41.70
J. Aundrea
Thing we already know y'all that reading? Yeah and know anybody reading and my only person is still reading books.
59:56.66
Bruce Anthony
But I read a lot of articles and if something interests me like ah hidden figures when I watched that movie I had to do a deep dive to find out what was real and what wasn't so the 1 thing that I found out that everybody prays.
59:56.90
J. Aundrea
Um.
01:00:09.10
J. Aundrea
Um.
01:00:11.94
Bruce Anthony
And 1 person that works for Nasa was like this really happened when he hit down the the colored only sign in the bathroom. Yeah no, that never happened yes that that never happened but but the people love the white saving.
01:00:18.83
J. Aundrea
Um, no because the character's not even real. So no that that didn't have but they have to have they have to have the white savior. Yes.
01:00:28.77
Bruce Anthony
And that's the reason why people like the blind side. It was the white savior. The white family helped this poor broke down boy that wasn't going to amount to anything and they gave him a home and he ended up being an Nfl superstar and it was all because of them.
01:00:40.97
J. Aundrea
Yeah, this is so dangerous minds. Not you what teach it of what was the literature God Do they live in hood.
01:00:45.82
Bruce Anthony
It there you go there, you go there, you go with Michelle fire for she was doing right by dumb kids who let look literature helped you.
01:00:59.76
J. Aundrea
I wasn't living in hood. Yeah, but.
01:01:01.72
Bruce Anthony
Not no more. But at 1 point we absolutely were that we weren't at that point anymore where you was reading literature but before that we was not living well out.
01:01:14.24
J. Aundrea
And it's ah another one another one is freedom writers that was ah that was um oh what's her name she was she played a boxer that 1 time in that other movie. Yeah Hillary swaank was a teacher's teacher.
01:01:26.70
Bruce Anthony
Hillary swaite.
01:01:29.62
J. Aundrea
Innerc City Kids poetry I was something oh find a force Step yeah Sha connery.
01:01:29.63
Bruce Anthony
Oh they ain't nothing as bad as finding forster find it for shot conor and a a recl loose that was this brilliant author and he's Goingnna save a black kid. He wrote 1 book one book.
01:01:44.46
J. Aundrea
Who wrote one book He wrote one book. Ah.
01:01:49.52
Bruce Anthony
All I We could run down a whole list of white savior movies. But why don't y'all just go check out a few and if you're white out there look at do to look through not the white Savior eyes look through our eyes telling you that it's a white savior movie and then you'll see Oh yeah, that that isn't that isn't a good representation. Oh yeah, that is that is.
01:02:03.98
J. Aundrea
Um, yes now.
01:02:09.82
Bruce Anthony
Riding on um, negative tropes of of black people or brown people and oh they only made their way through because a white person came and save them. That's what we talk about were whiteages and the only white savior that we ever know about is Abraham Lincoln which by the way we found out Abraham was actually part black.
01:02:12.56
J. Aundrea
Just. Yes.
01:02:27.30
J. Aundrea
I Feel like that's true.
01:02:28.20
Bruce Anthony
Document it now. No no, no, no, no, it's documented. It was part of a group I found out somebody hit me on Youtube and told me that the name is actually derogatory. So I'm not gonna say it what the name is, but it's a group of people that came out of appalachia. It's all on the Tuesday episode. Um.
01:02:45.86
J. Aundrea
Um.
01:02:46.70
Bruce Anthony
That were of it was basically male african descent and female european descent. So so it is 60 seventy eighteen hundreds in the Appalachian Mountain mountains
01:02:53.26
J. Aundrea
Um, okay.
01:03:03.90
Bruce Anthony
It with black men still find a white women to marry and they created this ah it it was like 40 families who stretch out through the appalachs through Tennessee the Carolinas in Virginia and they did a ah Dan ancestry.
01:03:04.75
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
01:03:16.60
J. Aundrea
Um, ah.
01:03:21.20
Bruce Anthony
Thing because they're basically black people but because they were black during this time they would say they were everything else but black and they could kind of pass as everything else, but black because they were lighter skinned and it kept going down for generation to generation to the point where they were just like you're white. Just say that you're white.
01:03:21.96
J. Aundrea
Um.
01:03:26.65
J. Aundrea
Ah.
01:03:29.27
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
01:03:37.25
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah.
01:03:38.91
Bruce Anthony
Some of the names on the list that were part of this community that came from african people sub-sahara africa by the way they did the ancestry and found out that's where these people are um abraham lincoln elvis.
01:03:46.45
J. Aundrea
Ah, ah.
01:03:52.57
J. Aundrea
He looked black again. not surprising again also not surprising I've seen cher due to robot with Michael Jackson and it was good.
01:03:58.10
Bruce Anthony
Share. And exactly. But here's here's the kicker Tom Hanks
01:04:10.25
J. Aundrea
That also not surprising. Yeah that all yes and will be more than happy to welcome them into the fold.
01:04:14.36
Bruce Anthony
So so the only so Abraham Lincoln with part black and I'm going to say whether they should do a test babe Ruth to because there has always been stores about Babe Ruth
01:04:27.42
J. Aundrea
Yes, I yeah just look at a picture of Babe Ruth google a picture of babe Ruth right now and you tell me that's not a plaque man.
01:04:33.23
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, then just look at a picture of ba Ru. It's always funny because black people can look at mixed black people and know oh you're black, but you're just mixed with something and white people can never figure it out. Yeah.
01:04:41.77
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yes, we always recognize our people. We can always recognize you.
01:04:53.70
