01:35.10
Bruce Anthony
I was like but.
01:44.93
Bruce Anthony
If.
01:50.22
J. Aundrea
I am the color of a white woman like I don't look like a white woman but I am that I'm definitely the color of a white woman and I have been mistaken for a white woman from time to time.
01:59.35
Bruce Anthony
Now See I get it with our mom because our our mom has it's not. It's she has white skin. You have fair skin Mom has white skin know like when people look at you.
02:03.55
J. Aundrea
Very fair-skinned Blue eyes. Fair to me is white fair is just a way of staying white.
02:18.68
Bruce Anthony
They know that you're not white but they they don't know quite what you are, um, that's.
02:20.76
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yes I would say I would say for the most part black people know I'm black, but that's where the buck stops like everyone else. Um were um, racially ambiguous to everyone else. But I did take a poll. On social media at one point and I was like how do I come off because I went to a doctor's office and was mistaken for Asian and so I I had um I had a mask On. Maybe that's I.
02:38.55
Bruce Anthony
If.
02:45.72
Bruce Anthony
I don't I don't know how that's possible. Oh oh I mean you are yellow. You're more than anything you're yellow.
02:57.30
J. Aundrea
I Have a a tint that is of a yellowish hue correct. Can you phrase it better just ok, this is not like I'm sensitive about it or anything I mean damn.
03:00.69
Bruce Anthony
You look like a simpson this you like Lisa from the simpsons. That's.
03:14.82
J. Aundrea
But ah so yeah, so I took a I took a poll on on social media and black people of course are like the people who are mistaking you for other races are not black right? and I'm like correct and like yeah, that's we know you're black.
03:16.68
Bruce Anthony
Almost exactly how you are just brainiac.
03:34.54
J. Aundrea
We know you are off off black like off-b broadway but but we know but I know I have been mistaken I have been mistaken for white and I didn't know until it was at a hospital I went to the er one time they were doing my intake and she put me down as a white woman and I was just.
03:39.70
Bruce Anthony
I think.
03:54.37
J. Aundrea
And it was another white woman and I was just like who are you looking at because maybe I'm delusional but I don't think I could be mistaken for white. Yeah.
03:56.25
Bruce Anthony
I would say no I would say that you know your fair skin and but and nobody especially the when you wear your hair a certain way like like you could go very natural but people that know you. And the reason why I think that you forget sometimes you light skinned because all right for all people that are not black that are listening to this I'm gonna let you behind the curtain a little bit in the black Community. My sister carries herself and her energy is very dark-skinned.
04:32.40
J. Aundrea
Yes I.
04:35.35
Bruce Anthony
See's very she has very dark skin energy and how can I How can I describe it to the people out there. The stereotypes between dark skinned black people and light skinned black people ah streaming unfair.
04:49.12
J. Aundrea
Because there are very unfair stereotypes and and and I want to just be clear I Ah do not have a dog in the colorism fight like we all know that that's just not the lane for light skinned people when we're talking about colorism and the effects of colorism. That is for darker skinned people and we need to be highlighting that more and and staying in our lane and staying out of it. But yeah I I carry myself I was say my melanin is spiritual. Ah.
05:20.16
Bruce Anthony
The the stereotypes for dark skin people is that they're more aggressive and light skinned people is more passive that's that's the the light skinned people are trying to be pretty and all this stuff to John say hey how look how cute I am and dark skinned people are just.
05:28.52
J. Aundrea
Um, yes.
05:34.33
J. Aundrea
Right.
05:39.90
Bruce Anthony
Not like that which these are stereotypes that aren't even really good stereotypes because that right.
05:41.65
J. Aundrea
Yes, and and and so untrue because some of the softest and most feminine women that I know in my life are darker skinned women and just beautiful and sweet and. You know, will let you know about yourself if they need to but I just it's just such an unfair stereotype because all the all the lights get women I know have attitudes.
06:07.58
Bruce Anthony
Were black women black women in Genera Yeah, what light skin women. Do you now have attitudes yet? No no.
06:18.61
J. Aundrea
Me number 1 you put me on the list I'm first ah as you like and you supposed to be nice. no no I don't want I know I'm not nice.
06:27.51
Bruce Anthony
My sister ain't nice I to stay nice. Not at all she a see I'm different I'll be kind of fakeish I will do small talk and like hey how you doing and this like that my sister't like that. But it's that she is very much. Yeah, she is very much.
06:37.90
J. Aundrea
No no I'm not gonna waste my time.
06:47.70
Bruce Anthony
Our father's child. She's very much like dead. Um, but yeah, so yeah, that's what it is you just you carry off an aggressive demeanor and that's probably the reason why you don't see yourself because these stereotypes yeah these stereotypes So anyway.
06:47.13
J. Aundrea
Yes, mm.
06:58.33
J. Aundrea
Sometimes I Yeah they're unfair and they're untrue as Stereotypes sometimes are sometimes they'd be hitting a nail right on the head. Yeah.
07:06.66
Bruce Anthony
Depth well and and yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, was just about to say that such us they be true. My friends are crazy because I guess out of my three friends. My 3 closest friends the the guys that that that I've kind of grown up with.

08:02.93
Bruce Anthony

08:17.56
J. Aundrea
Very shocking none none. No I do not Tan I do not tan. No and I've been trying and it just I'm ah trying to get.
08:17.70
Bruce Anthony
Like we got any control like there's any control over it whatsoever I mean you can make yourself darker. Um, but like a tan you know Tan I do I get I get dark. But anyway.
08:31.54
Bruce Anthony
You would you was a Columbia you air Columbia you still couldn't get dark. You burnt.
08:36.85
J. Aundrea
Didn't didn't get a shade darker did not get one shade darker and I was probably as close to the sun as a person can get on on Planet Earth and I did not nothing happened. It was unfortunate.
08:51.19
Bruce Anthony
Okay, ladies gentlemen This is enough of this colorism discussion because this is not what I want to talk about I didn't want to be self-imvoved. Ah I I was choosing violence I was choosing violence. So ah.
08:55.40
J. Aundrea
You did you said you said you want to come in and you were choosing violence? yes.
09:07.90
Bruce Anthony
If you hear the exasperation in my voice. It's it's for a reason and anybody that's a fan of the show understands that I am a defender of the Lgb T Q Plus Community I will always be a and it's not just that community Guess what.
09:18.97
J. Aundrea
Yes.
09:26.13
Bruce Anthony
Any marginalized community I'm gonna be a defender of whether I'm a part of that community or not whether I can identify with that community or not I identify with Jewish people because I'm not Jewish but I'm still gonna be a defender of anti-semitism I'm not I'm not a native american.
09:27.60
J. Aundrea
But.
09:38.49
J. Aundrea
Right? Well, you're not yeah well, you're not gonna defend anti-semitism but you're gonna be an ally to.
09:43.98
Bruce Anthony
I'm not native american now I'm defend defend right? I'm a defend against anti-semitism skews me that's what I meant to but that's how round up I am I'm going over my words. So this past weekend in in British Columbia ah in is.
09:50.12
J. Aundrea
Yes, yeah. And.
10:01.83
Bruce Anthony
Kajuana british columbia there was a track meet and these were like eight nine 10 year old kids and one of the girls had just could pleaded in a shot put competition and then a gentleman in the stands started yelling out.
10:05.53
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
10:20.31
Bruce Anthony
That person's transgender that person's Transgender Plot twists Plot twists. This was not a transgender girl at all. This was just a little girl but she was wearing what is called a pixie cut. Can you describe to me what that is short haircut. Yeah short haircut.
10:23.89
J. Aundrea
Ah, yeah.
10:36.46
J. Aundrea
Um, my haircut. Yeah, my haircut. Yes.
10:38.66
Bruce Anthony
So she was wearing a short haircut and this man and woman was going on and on about her being Trans and saying that she be disqualified and saying that the mother should verify the birth certificate and everybody said no, that's that's ah, that's a girl not a Trans girl but.
10:45.14
J. Aundrea
Ah.
10:54.84
J. Aundrea
Yeah, assist. Yes, she's just gender.
10:58.69
Bruce Anthony
I don't know how to assist girl cis girl a Cis girl. Ah for those people that don't understand what Cis gender is.
11:08.20
J. Aundrea
It means you identify as the ah you are that your gender identity is the same as your birth sex.
11:16.22
Bruce Anthony
There you go? Um so I am a Cis male. Um this right? This young lady was a Cis female but was being accused of being transgender and and and.
11:17.65
J. Aundrea
I am a Cis female.
11:28.73
Bruce Anthony
This really has nothing to do with the transgender community because this particular girl wasn't part of this community but it does because have people out here to right.
11:32.58
J. Aundrea
It does because this is the kind of violence that they have to endure on a daily basis for just existing in the world.
11:43.38
Bruce Anthony
And the cases of actual transgender people playing sports. It's not really that high the percentage is less than 3% not even 3% I think it's closer to 1 or two percent of people that are participating in sports.
11:51.71
J. Aundrea
It's just what I want.
12:00.75
Bruce Anthony
Actually transgender. So this is not an epidemic like the right because these people when they were out there complaining it just so happened that this young girl did have 2 mothers. So I guess the mothers were part of the lgbt q ah q plus community and these people were saying that they were groomers.
12:05.60
J. Aundrea
And.
12:15.42
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
12:20.42
Bruce Anthony
And that they mutilated the gentle to and when this girl was a Cis gender girl and this situation affected her so much she was shaken she was crying that people wouldn't let this 1 gentleman wouldn't let up the parents told leave personally if I was there I would have whooped his as sent me to jail whatever you got to do I would have whooped his ass.
12:34.96
J. Aundrea
Personally.
12:39.96
Bruce Anthony
Because I'm just choosing violence on a lot of these situations but like the girl was just participating in the sports was a tax big attack because he was wearing ah a short haircut and and didn't farewell after that and and who would she's nine years old
12:43.39
J. Aundrea
Yeah. In it.
12:56.30
J. Aundrea
Yeah, and and let's just say she was a nine year old trans girl. So I think everybody knows that the.
12:59.80
Bruce Anthony
And.
13:05.48
Bruce Anthony
I Was gonna go there but let's do it.
13:15.52
J. Aundrea
Answer to Trans participation in sports is not like an easy question to answer like everybody's got kind of like you know I mean which sports are we talking about? is it an unfair Advantage. We don't. I Mean there's really no easy answer because it's a territory that we just haven't been in on on any like large scale you're attacking a child. This is a child.
13:47.65
Bruce Anthony
It's a child 9 Not even in double digits hasn't had the tenth birthday yet.
13:52.29
J. Aundrea
And this is again. Another example of how we as grown ass people are not protecting children out there and it doesn't matter what kind of child it doesn't matter who where I don't care who that child is as a child and you're an adult. And you look ridiculous and you are 100% correct I too would have whoop this person's ass.
14:19.56
Bruce Anthony
That's what I said from the top of the show choosing violence the governor of Illinois did a commencement speech northwest university and I'm going to paraphrase one of the defining.
14:27.90
J. Aundrea
In.
14:35.86
Bruce Anthony
Points of what he was saying he was making the point of looking at idiots to be successful. A life look at idiots and do the opposite of what they do and he said well how can you identify an idiot.
14:46.49
J. Aundrea
In.
14:51.28
Bruce Anthony
Because I mean Idiots can fool us. They can so come off as intelligent or smart. Um, but that actually not be that and he says you look at the nicest person in the room and they tend to be the smartest person in the room and you look at the cruelest person in the room.
14:57.53
J. Aundrea
Yeah I.
15:10.49
Bruce Anthony
That's the idiot. So these people that are so cruel and I'm not just talking about the people in the Lgbtq Community I'm talking about people that are attacking kids that defend guns over kids I'm talking about the people that attack um minorities.
15:18.23
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:27.00
Bruce Anthony
Right? I'm talking about the people that attack any marginalized group. Cruelly, they're the idiots. The idiots like the people in the Southern Baptist council just voted out 2 churches in their conference. Why. Because it churches were led by women pastors. That's a real story. Yeah, that was a real story that that that it because it just happened yesterday had been something had been going down the pike ah that they had been voting on but the Southern Baptist conference or council or something like that.
15:49.21
J. Aundrea
I hadn't heard that yeah I hadn't heard that.
15:59.85
J. Aundrea
Um.
16:04.96
Bruce Anthony
Decided to vote and 1 of the woman pastors had been a pastor at that particular church since 1993 now they kicked out the church from this particular group I'm sure the women are still going to be pastors. It just kicked out of the Southern Baptist Council Council um or conference or whatever it is.
16:17.64
J. Aundrea
Well no, well that that and and let them women run their churches well going to no damn council now they can shut up then go to hell? Yeah yeah.
16:23.12
Bruce Anthony
What? Well yeah with this conference is. But once again once again, cruelty right? cruelty So this that the governor it and I'm a christian.
16:37.12
J. Aundrea
And the name of god.
16:42.95
Bruce Anthony
I will never shy away from that no matter how skews my language God Bastardize The religion has gotten um ah but I will say some of the cruelest people in this country claim to be Christians and I know.
16:49.70
J. Aundrea
And.
17:00.55
Bruce Anthony
If Jesus Christ himself came back to earth and preached the things that he preached in the bible. He'd be called a socialist a communist ah a child molester because he would defend people in the lgbtq ah community.
17:08.71
J. Aundrea
Have.
17:18.11
Bruce Anthony
He might even go to a drag brunch right? like he would be ostracized but they swear that they're living a life based off of his teachings. They're not.
17:18.87
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yeah.
17:28.13
J. Aundrea
They're not ah, they're not there because it's like they never even cracked open part 2 of the bible. Honestly, all them words in red those are the things y'all should be reading as christians and you are. Um, don't know what parts y'll are reading but the Jesus I know didn't say none of the stuff y'all were talking about none of it if you want to have a conversation about because they did some gallup polling and regardless of party affiliation.
17:48.61
Bruce Anthony
Oh.
18:02.41
J. Aundrea
You know 50% Maybe a little bit more than 50% of people say you should play in the sport for your Assign. You know you're sex assigned at Birth you should play in that sport. Okay, if you want to have a conversation about that. We can have a conversation about that. But to cause a scene in the way that they caused a scene this husband and wife and then to attack a child to be told to leave refuse to leave and then to verbally attack.
18:28.92
Bruce Anthony
A.A.
18:38.79
J. Aundrea
This child's parents to operate in the world with no empathy, no decency, no civility. No sense of kindness. There's just no place for you anymore like we're not decent. People are not accepting this anymore.
18:56.30
Bruce Anthony
And.
18:58.58
J. Aundrea
And they shouldn't be so if they're the the Dr King said that the no I don't want to say the worst person I'm paraphrasing because I don't know the I don't know the exact quote but the most dangerous person is the white moderate right.
19:08.92
Bruce Anthony
Exact quote.
19:16.47
Bruce Anthony
I Thought he said it was the white liberal I Thought he said it was the white liberal.
19:17.70
J. Aundrea
But I would say the most dangerous is the moderate The person who is fine with this kind of peaceful acquiescence to the status quo they did they and I would I would say it's not limited to race. It's anyone. It's It's the moderate. It's the person who is.
19:25.92
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, okay.
19:33.17
Bruce Anthony
Are a.
19:36.42
J. Aundrea
I see the things going on. Yeah I don't like it but my personal life is just my life is fine. So I'm not going to participate in these things. No, we're not making space for these kinds of people anymore. And you can no longer sit on the sidelines. You can no longer look at things not being just you can no longer look at people who had just have no morals who have lost all morality who have lost all humanity and ignore it any longer. We're just not making space for these people anymore. So when we say we're choosing violence like we literally mean that the way I would have a have my phone on live on Tiktok and becussing this man out from the top of his head to the bottom of his feet. You have no idea wow you are so lucky I was not there.
20:16.24

Bruce Anthony

23:40.37
J. Aundrea
And I've been chuckling ever since I told you about my favorite word schadenfreude which is taking personal pleasure in the suffering of others and I have just been chuckling this bit.
23:47.44
Bruce Anthony
If.

23:58.97
J. Aundrea
Good old town. Yeah.
24:13.70
Bruce Anthony
Hold on as we hold on as we pass time I had it then in there and then it disappeared on me. Okay, here we go he had 20 He had 37 charges related to mishandling of classified documents after leaving the white house. The indictment led alleges that Trump unlawfully retained government secrets.
24:25.45
J. Aundrea
In here.
24:33.37
Bruce Anthony
Obstructed justice and made false statements to the Fbi. He's accused of sharing classified map related to the military operation storing boxes of classified documents at his mary largo home without proper security and defying requests from the justice department to hand over the documents. He has also allegedly taped his 8 who is also charged in an indictment to help hide the boxes of records like so I've been watching a lot of news coverage on this and a lot of legal analysts said this indictment would have never happened had he just given. The documents back to the justice department when they requested them. They said hey man yeah you got some stuff. You're not really supposed to have. We're gonna need that back? No I don't know you do you? You got them and and we gonna need those.
25:14.00
J. Aundrea
And.
25:25.46
J. Aundrea
Um, you absolutely do.
25:30.92
Bruce Anthony
Back now got him. Ah, okay, okay, then then Trump on the background amen go ahead and hide these boxes from these folks because they might try and come get him and guess what they came to come get him and and I know a lot of people out there. Ah, a lot of republicans out. There are saying.
25:41.64
J. Aundrea
And.
25:50.58
Bruce Anthony
He didn't do anything worse than what Biden is doing first of all Biden had some documents from back when he was a senator he gave him back. The justice department was like hey we need these. He gave him back and the next thing people are gonna say was Hillary Clinton and those emails they had classified documents. No.
26:06.51
J. Aundrea
Listen listen.
26:09.45
Bruce Anthony
She had class of some classified information but she didn't have any classified documents. There's completely to 2 completely different things.
26:18.57
J. Aundrea
Listen, let's say for the sake of argument that there was some sort of wrongdoing on the part of Hillary Clinton or our current president Joseph Robinette Biden
26:35.76
Bruce Anthony
Joey beans.
26:37.40
J. Aundrea
1 person committing a crime does not negate the crimes of another person. It's not an argument It's not an argument and okay. What if they choose to indict Biden would you then be fine with them indicting Trump no, of course you wouldn't of course you wouldn't it doesn't matter because at the that's where this argument I mean I have watched republicans over this past week
27:02.00
Bruce Anthony
A a.
27:14.93
J. Aundrea
Just boy, do not all of them. Yeah way.
27:15.20
Bruce Anthony
Not all of them. Not all of them because Chris Christie is killing them Chrisris like oh you wanted to make that you wanted to make that little joke about me eating food and giving the speech at the same time. Okay I'm a choose violence Chris Christie is chosen.
27:29.50
J. Aundrea
Right? Yes, he right? So not all of them with it. There's this Chris Christie so not all of them. Also I ah I had an opportunity or our brother was listening to it. Ah.
27:34.12
Bruce Anthony
Absolute violence.
27:46.12
J. Aundrea
Yesterday I believe ah the podcast of Michael Steele ah of the r and c yeah, the republican national committee yes, flaming them flaming them flaming them. Ah, but.
27:50.16
Bruce Anthony
Okay, the former head of the republican. Yeah yeah there. Yeah.
28:05.52
J. Aundrea
The watching them contort themselves to make this all make sense to them to prove that this is simply the weaponization of the department of Justice and not boy you read the indictment which I have it's.
28:20.12
Bruce Anthony
You read all that I'm go be honest which I didn't read her.
28:24.22
J. Aundrea
It's 40 It's 47 pages and let me tell you it's a hell of a read and not only that you can ah on Youtube there are people who will read it to you like they've recorded videos of them read it that so you if you don't want to sit and read it yourself. Ah recommend it because it's it's good stuff.
28:30.34
Bruce Anthony
Um.
28:34.67
Bruce Anthony
Okay, all right.
28:43.93
J. Aundrea
They they got him dead. They got him dead to rights I don't think anyone who reads now what's gonna be the future of this of the actual trial. You know we didn't get a great judge for the arraignment. This.
28:44.80
Bruce Anthony
Um.
29:02.78
J. Aundrea
This judge has a history of bending over backwards for Trump's to Trump Appointee it was 1 time in a similar case. Um, and so I don't know I don't know that this is even going to go forward before the election.
29:05.76
Bruce Anthony
It was one time it was 1 time that you kind of yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:20.94
J. Aundrea
Ah, we don't know.
29:21.82
Bruce Anthony
Ah, well, he's so under the law you have the right for time to prepare for your trial here's the problem. He's already got a trial that's going to be in New York
29:31.10
J. Aundrea
Um.
29:35.74
J. Aundrea
M.
29:38.63
Bruce Anthony
So you can't try somebody in and back-to-back cases without giving him proper time to prepare for the second case and he's having trouble getting lawyers to defend him and Florida because he's got a track record of not paying folks.
29:53.58
J. Aundrea
M.
29:56.38
Bruce Anthony
You got a you got a long track for track record of not paying folks so and burning his lawyers and throwing them underneath the bus. So yeah that that will be the reason why there won't be a trial before the election.
30:01.52
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
30:13.92
Bruce Anthony
Ah, just because you can't try that man in back to bad cases in a year and a half not these type of cases. So I'll give him that little reprieve.
30:17.83
J. Aundrea
Right? So I don't know what's gonna have you know I'm black. Do I have a lot of faith in the justice system. No and this is still a rich white man in America. So honestly I don't know what's gonna happen with it. But. In the meantime I boy I mean documents in on the toilet just everywhere just everywhere I think ah Kevin Mccarthy document did.
30:49.31
Bruce Anthony
He bat he he he bathroomized the the classified documents and if you don't know what at theize is back in the day before we had cell phones when you was going to the bathroom to do number 2 You would take some reader material with you.
30:56.98
J. Aundrea
Classified documents if you don't. And. Yes.
31:09.17
Bruce Anthony
That's when you you read a Tv guy jet magazine that was a good read material. We was in the bathroom ebony and then later vibe I lived in a black household. That's that's what we and better homes and garden was also and in our bathroom but that's what you did, but once you took it in the bathroom. You couldn't.
31:19.91
J. Aundrea
Um.
31:28.94
Bruce Anthony
Stayed in the bathroom after that you can't You can't bring it back into the family room or the living room. It's been bathroomized. He bathroomized them classified documents.
31:31.57
J. Aundrea
Yeah, it's been bathroomized. That's it's it's done but let me just real quick verse listen to this exchange Trump wait a minute. Let's see here staffer laughter. Yeah.
31:40.74
Bruce Anthony
Okay, okay.
31:51.10
J. Aundrea
Trump I just found isn't that amazing this totally wins my case you know staffer Trump except like highly confidential. He's this is a conversation. He's having with a staffer mind you about all these documents just everywhere staffer. Yeah laugher. Laughter Trump secret this is secret information look look at this you attack and by the way isn't this incredible I was just thinking because we were talking about it. You know he said he wanted to attack country a and what that he knew. But this is fully confidential classified secret information about intelligence operations ah different operations. We have going on around the world and he's just showing it to people Bruce just showing it. It's in the ballroom. You think that ballroom was locked.
32:42.28
Bruce Anthony
A.
32:49.12
J. Aundrea
No, he might go that ballroom I think it was Kevin Mccarthy has said ah well he had it in the bathroom What do you have to say about that and Kevin Mccarthy said well you know the bathroom door locks it locks from the inside. It will walk from damn mouthside. That's not secure the bathroom. Ah, mara lago is not secure. That's not secure facility. You should have gave the documents back but you can't imagine a world of which he has to comply with anyone's request and that is why he is in the situation that he is in today and I think it's hilarious.
33:18.24
Bruce Anthony
Is.
33:25.21
Bruce Anthony
It is hilarious but I will say that I do have he did say 1 thing that's right? Okay, um, and I touched on this on my Youtube exclusive show rapid reflections that you can watch when you subscribe to the Youtube channel at uns list at at.
33:31.76
J. Aundrea
Um.
33:42.78
Bruce Anthony
Unsolicited perspectives youtube.comback/ at unsolicited perspectives rapid reflections check it out. Um, but he's absolutely right that the Fbi's corrupt people in the black community have always known the fbis. Yeah like co and tell pro is a.
33:48.21
J. Aundrea
It.
33:54.25
J. Aundrea
Yeah me, we know this? yeah.
34:01.86
Bruce Anthony
Documented program that the Fbi ran from 1956 to 1971 with a routinely attacked social political organizations in this country that were typically helping marginalized people at the behest of J Egar Hoover
34:20.60
J. Aundrea
Um.
34:21.16
Bruce Anthony
Ah, using disinformation and unlawful imprisonment and even assassination. This is it. It look it up co and tell pro. It's a legitimate program so when he says the Fbi is corrupt. There's a history of the Fbi being a corrupt this ain't.
34:27.70
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
34:37.52
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
34:39.92
Bruce Anthony
The time this because he did that shit. But that's my one s for that for the show. That's my one s so because he did that this is the situation where the Fbi was corrupt but he is right? The Fbi does have a history of being corrupt and using dirty pool to get there.
34:42.20
J. Aundrea
Yeah, yes, yeah yeah.
34:57.31
J. Aundrea
Yeah, but you got to understand they're fine with that and they've been fine with that when it's directed towards Dr King or the black panthers or or moved you know bombing a move headquarters or or native americans or.
34:58.20
Bruce Anthony
To get their targets.
35:06.72
Bruce Anthony
Native Americans or or.
35:12.50
J. Aundrea
When they're when we're spying and doing things like that domestically on ah marginalized groups. They're fine with that. What do you mean? they're coming.
35:16.83
Bruce Anthony
Yeah, they're fine with that because those people because those people are bad people. We have to make sure that they can't rise up a takeover we have to keep them in check that's literally what Cohen tell pro it was originally used to combat the clue cuts klan and even I have to say.
35:25.47
J. Aundrea
And and then.
35:36.12
Bruce Anthony
Even though of course I'm completely against the ku klux klan you can't take away somebody's civil liberties to get them. Now no see you're doing the same thing that Trump people are doing right? You can't say you can't say it's wrong for them to do it to the black panthers in the southern poverty league and all that other stuff and then say it's okay to be using his clueless Klan if it's bad.
35:47.15
J. Aundrea
Can't you and.
36:00.80
J. Aundrea
I think it's apples and oranges the Ku Cox plan was literally murdering people. You know I'm saying the black plants. The black plantthers were offering free lunch is not the same.
36:03.84
Bruce Anthony
And this is true. This is true but they have right to I mean you're right? but it's it's dirty pool Either way, that's all I'm saying we gonna be fair. Let's be fair if we gonna be fair. Let's be fair.
36:19.85
J. Aundrea
No, because life's not fair.
36:23.82
Bruce Anthony
Especially if you are more if you're part of that marginalized group but he is right? The Fbi has a history of being you know corrupt this is just not this. This is situation where that's not the case because he did that he did all of it.
36:33.52
J. Aundrea
M.
36:39.80
J. Aundrea
Down.
36:39.17
Bruce Anthony
But he's not gonna go down for it and it's crazy because the federal government has a conviction rate that is unlike anything that you've ever seen in your life. They don't bring cases against you unless they're almost guaranteed to win. Um, when you when people talk about John Goti beat him and Nikki Barnes made him know they beat state cast state cases.
36:56.92
J. Aundrea
And.
36:58.50
Bruce Anthony
When the federal government came after them. They went down you go down if the federal government comes after you federal government is coming after him and even some starch republican even Mike Pence was like hey look Mike Pence is a hey look.
37:05.52
J. Aundrea
Yeah, it.
37:17.39
Bruce Anthony
I don't know if I trust everything the justice department the Fbi is doing but this doesn't look good. That's what he said is it doesn't look good and they said where if you're elected president will you pardon ah Trump and he was like it's a little too early and talk about that type of stuff.
37:25.11
J. Aundrea
Um, Bill.
37:32.90
J. Aundrea
Yes, Bill Barr said he was toast bill bar course Trump appointee to the justice department.
37:35.41
Bruce Anthony
Basically, that was it that was your answer. No. He is not yeah yeah, but he fired Bill Barr see some of these people that come after Trump are are people. There is nobody. That's been a supporter a ride or die that's turned. Um, Trump that's what I'm waiting for I'm waiting for the Kevin Mccarthy's and the Marjorie Taylor greens and and the Tim Scotts
38:00.38
J. Aundrea
Yeah I think the most we got was um oh god his former attorney who just would not go away and I'm not talking yes I thought you were gonna say Rudy Giuliani and I was not talking about Rudy.
38:07.74
Bruce Anthony
Michael Cohen
38:14.44
Bruce Anthony
No rudy might not be I think I think they're going to take away either. They did or they're getting ready to take away his law license. But here's a thing Rudy was a federal prosecutor.
38:16.54
J. Aundrea
I'm never talking about Rudy but yeah and like.
38:23.31
J. Aundrea
Yeah, they should I mean he's He's clearly not all there.
38:34.34
Bruce Anthony
I knew Rudy was dirty because I could go back I go back and watch these mob documentaries and he's notorious for taking down a mob. Yeah, he used so much dirty pool to take down the mob he literally would lie on certain mobsters saying that they were government informants.
38:52.30
J. Aundrea
And.
38:53.92
Bruce Anthony
Because he knew that he was put the death sentence on them to make them testify against their people. Yeah I mean he's like he's a dirty like okay I will give Trump the credit some of these federal prosecutors man. The reason why they get such strong conviction is they'd be. They'd be on some other stuff.
38:58.21
J. Aundrea
Nice. She's Trump's kind of guy.
39:12.63
Bruce Anthony
However, Trump did that shit to say it that he did that and ain't no other ways around it.
39:15.95
J. Aundrea
Yea, did it. He did it. We did it. He did it.
39:22.92
J. Aundrea
Watching Dc because you join the team of Heroros the Georgia Department Now hired that be open to our correctional officers by.
39:38.88
J. Aundrea
I'm working for Georgia Department Of Corrections okay there we go.
39:49.14
Bruce Anthony
All right folks stand the show we're gonna talk about a twenty five point six million dollars award against Starbucks in this recent lawsuit and this goes all the way back to the 2 black men in the Philadelphia starbucks who were arrested. Because they were having a business meeting there and they were like we want to use the bathroom and Starbucks were saying now you got to buy something and they are like no, you don't have to buy some of these other people didn't buy anything everybody in here chilling and then they called the cops on them. They were arrested and then the Starbucks Ceo came out.
40:21.15
J. Aundrea
Um, all right.
40:25.70
Bruce Anthony
And he gave he gave a formal apology and came met with the 2 guys and was just like hey I'm sorry and so people got fired.
40:29.50
J. Aundrea
And if you'll remember if you remember they even closed all the Starbucks for one day. Why everybody did racial bias training I mean they Starbucks really took this seriously.
40:34.15
Bruce Anthony
Yes.
40:43.90
J. Aundrea
And according to this ah new lawsuit. They took it way too too. Damn seriously.
40:48.84
Bruce Anthony
Wait they they took it too damn far. Ah because Shannon Phillips who was the regional manager for the Starbucks in the area.
40:51.10
J. Aundrea
If they took it way too far.
41:00.40
Bruce Anthony
Was awarded six hundred thousand and compensatory damages and 25000000 in punitive damages and she could still get some more um she was fired because she was a regional manager and for those people that that that can't conceptualize.
41:09.49
J. Aundrea
Ah.
41:16.37
Bruce Anthony
What a regional manager is there's a regional manager. There's a district manager is a store manager so a store manager manages a store so there was 1 person that actually managed the store that discriminated against these 2 black gentlemen.
41:20.70
J. Aundrea
Yes.
41:27.94
Bruce Anthony
There's a district manager that handles the store you know Starbucks is like on every corner. So a district manager could just be the manager in a certain section of the city that manages you know a couple of the stores. A regional manager is the manager that manages a couple of states of stores right.
41:30.96
J. Aundrea
Um, yes, the right.
41:45.45
J. Aundrea
Um, regional manager.
41:46.42
Bruce Anthony
They fired her and they fired they fired the regional manager and they put in somebody else in place and then they fired the District manager as well. Both were white I Love saying this now Plot twists.
41:54.50
J. Aundrea
It yes.
42:04.82
Bruce Anthony
The store manager was actually black so she sued Shannon Phillips who was the regional manager sued based off of racial discrimination saying that she was fired because she was white and she won a lawsuit and um I agree with her.
42:05.34
J. Aundrea
E.
42:23.10
J. Aundrea
Yeah, and ah listen this is yeah because she's is absolutely right? That's exactly what they did I mean according to Npr's reporting the lawsuit alleged Starbucks was taking steps to punish white employees who worked in the area in an effort to convince the community.
42:23.95
Bruce Anthony
I.
42:40.75
J. Aundrea
That it had properly responded to the incident I mean this is really a slap in the face to those 2 men and to black folks in general because we're not looking to punish white people or to see white people especially ones who did nothing wrong lose their jobs.
42:47.56
Bruce Anthony
Yeah.
42:54.53
Bruce Anthony
Contrary to what some white people believe black people really don't want to punish you if black people became the majority Guess what white people y'all lives still gonna be the same except the fact there's going to be a little bit more equality in the world.
43:01.50
J. Aundrea
You know, Absolutely this name.
43:10.67
Bruce Anthony
But nothing's going to happen to you guys because that's not who we are.
43:12.60
J. Aundrea
I Mean your worst fear already happened. We had a black president and what happened nothing nothing happened to you.
43:18.41
Bruce Anthony
Well some some people say some some people say that it was the worst time in american history like that those 8 years we we were living in a bit. Some people say that that was the tarra down and it wasn't.
43:29.83
J. Aundrea
Yeah, and it just really wasn't This was not the the whole the country didn't turn into mad max like we were fine. Everybody was fine. What what.
43:37.87
Bruce Anthony
Nope It didn't absolutely fine.
43:42.27
J. Aundrea
What black people want in situations like this is for the right people to be held accountable for racist behavior and for weaponizing the police that is what we want What we want is the end of systems built on and and and maintained. But why by white supremacy that is what we want that is not.
43:46.55
Bruce Anthony
Um, that's it there you go.
44:01.54
J. Aundrea
Let's find as many white people that weren't involved in this but are in positions of power and get rid of them so that black people will be happy. What are you talking about ass like take Uncle Ben off the box within ask for that nobody ask for that who I think.
44:04.50
Bruce Anthony
What wronged at all.
44:20.83
J. Aundrea
I Think their initial response of you know, shutting down for racial bias training. Um, they settled with the gentleman they the they help tuition. Yeah.
44:29.65
Bruce Anthony
And and and offered to give them free college tuition and they and those 2 gentlemen celebrated I'm so celebrated settled with the city of Philadelphia for $1 and a promise for Philadelphia to put.
44:44.38
J. Aundrea
Um.
44:46.80
Bruce Anthony
Program $200000 of programs for people that are minorities and want to be entrepreneurs in the city. So these these young black men weren't out here trying to get the system right? like not at all they were just they were 2 arent young entrepreneurs just trying to do some with their life.
44:51.70
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
44:57.25
J. Aundrea
Now now. Yeah.
45:05.27
Bruce Anthony
They did not want. They did not I guarantee you if they get interviewed they they didn't want this and it made it so bad. What makes it even worse is a district man the the store manager who was black by the way the store manager that I don't know if he I don't think that he called the cops on them. Somebody else did but he was the manager of that particular store.
45:14.24
J. Aundrea
No.
45:25.21
Bruce Anthony
Said of the regional manager. Yes, she's beloved I don't know why they fired her.
45:25.53
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, yeah, the well because they wanted to just round up white people of some position and influence and then get rid of them does nobody ask for that.
45:34.20
Bruce Anthony
Um.
45:39.74
J. Aundrea
Yeah, we they already had gotten a formal apology from the Ceo a personal apology from the Ceo like you did you did the things you did the right things you did good. You could have just stopped there.
45:45.00
Bruce Anthony
You did You did good and and and actions rights right? and actions like this where you where you start attacking white people who have nothing to do with it and are innocent. Of any wrong doing whatsoever when you start to do things like this. That's how you have people that start to go against the movement of equality for all people because she absolutely was punished for something that she had nothing to do with and and.
46:10.96
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
46:24.22
Bruce Anthony
I Guess if I was her you could absolutely develop feelings of I had nothing to do with this. They're just protecting those black people and guess what she would have been absolutely right and feeling that way because that's exactly what they did.
46:31.67
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
46:37.50
J. Aundrea
Yeah, so.
46:40.90
Bruce Anthony
Ah, y'all thought y'all though we was gonna go on here and say that she was wrong for suing. Oh hell no, she was absolutely right? and I think she should get even more money. Get him for all the money she should be the own her Starbucks yes yes. yes
46:44.80
J. Aundrea
No. Oh yeah, that back pay and that future pay. Go ahead, give me that go ahead and run my coins because y'all tried to have me set up another manager who was white to take the fall who had nothing to do with it I refused to do so.
47:03.59
Bruce Anthony
A.
47:08.40
J. Aundrea
And then you fire me. Okay, ok, it's worth Yeah, this response is worse This looks terrible and who ever is responsible for it.
47:08.84
Bruce Anthony
Actually Starbucks this is this is actually worse than what actually happened. It's worse than what actually happened in the store. This is way worse. Yeah, she.
47:27.12
J. Aundrea
Actually responsible for it. They need to go and I'm so and and listen we don't care if the manager of the store was black or if the person who called the police was black. It. That's irrelevant. It's about the weaponization of the police. That's what it's about it's about calling the police on 2 black men for things that you wouldn't have called the police for if it was 2 white men.
47:45.71
Bruce Anthony
Irrelevant. Yes.
48:00.40
J. Aundrea
And if their white colleague had shown up a little sooner I bet you would never have called the police.
48:03.46
Bruce Anthony

You do realize that white supremacy people can become a victim in that white supremacy and that includes black people and I'm not talking about the people that actually get shot I'm talking about Sometimes it's people that actually pull the trigger.
48:34.79
J. Aundrea
Yeah.
48:41.15
Bruce Anthony
And maybe the store manager called maybe he didn't call but to think that that he wouldn't still hold the principles of white supremacy because he's in that system would be fraudulent. Yes, there are some black people out there Newsflash There are some black people out there that uphold.

49:50.42
Bruce Anthony

49:57.82
J. Aundrea
Well then I will only chop that up to you don't like horror and suspense and no get out was everywhere when it came out. It's just it was just everywhere. Yeah, no get out was everywhere.
50:02.57
Bruce Anthony
Or maybe they just didn't know anything about it like that's a possibility as well. Get it get out. Get out was everywhere in the black community all right? So okay, all like we've been talking about some serious stuff from the jump.
50:17.68
J. Aundrea
Yeah, oh God Not my forte.
50:21.42
Bruce Anthony
I want to end the show on something really sweet and innocent. My sister doesn't know anything about this is just gonna be surprised. This is a story that I that I saw on Twitter could it be true. Maybe it could it not be true. Possibly could it be true, very possibly. I believe the premise of this story is absolutely true and it goes to my larger point that I'm going to make after I read the story to here we go. It's a woman telling the story about getting a doll for her daughter Nick and I told Sophia that after 1 whole month of going poop on the potty she could I'm sorry that's poop. That just makes me laugh poop on the partytty she could pick out a specialized prize at Target she of course picked out a new doll. The obsession is real while we were checking out the cashier looked at Sophia if she was going looked at Sylpha and asked if she was going to a birthday party. We both cave her a blank stare.
50:58.41
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah.
51:17.73
Bruce Anthony
Nicki and I whoever I is those are the parents. The parents gave the cashier a blank stare. Okay because I'm reading this as the person wrote it just follow me here. Okay.
51:19.68
J. Aundrea
And in.
51:28.22
J. Aundrea
Yeah, we get it. Yeah, just.
51:34.57
Bruce Anthony
She then went into the doll and asked Sophia talking about the cashier again. She then pointed to the doll and asked Sophia if she picked her doll out for a friend Sophia continued to stare blankly and let the cashier know that she that she was a prize for Sophia being fully potty trained. Woman gave me a puzzled look and turned to Sophia and asked are you sure this is the doll you want Honey Sophia finally found her voice. This is where the story gets a little like Sophia founder for she just finished potty training and so she ain't maybe maybe they got to. That's okay.
52:03.75
J. Aundrea
Now let me tell you toddlers. They'll tell you about yourself. Yeah.
52:10.80
Bruce Anthony
Sophia finally found her voice that said, yes, please the cashier replied but she doesn't look like you. We have lots of other dolls that look more like you I immediately became angry but before I could say anything Sophia responded with yes she does. She's a doctor like I'm a doctor. And I'm a pretty girl and she's a pretty girl see her pretty hair see her stethoscope. Thankfully the cashier decided to so to drop the issue and just answer oh that's nice. Sophia. The little girl is a little white girl and she chose a little black doll whether this story is true.
52:41.10
J. Aundrea
Um, I'm I'm assuming do um I'm assuming Doc Mc stuffins. Yeah that Doc Mix stuffins is based on a cartoon. A little girl she is a doctor for ah.
52:48.70
Bruce Anthony
I Believe that this ah I don't know I don't I don't know I don't know I'm.
53:00.58
J. Aundrea
For her stuffed animals and it's a very adorable. They come to life. It's very popular. Yes, so that so does Doc Mc stuffins. They love it.
53:02.53
Bruce Anthony
Okay, I'm sure Dora I'm sure Dora the explorer sold lots with little white kids right? if you go to a playground if you go to a elementary school.
53:21.17
J. Aundrea
Um, yeah, it's yeah.
53:21.69
Bruce Anthony
Kids play with each other based off of if they like each other. It's not based off of race or religion or any kids just like are you cool? Can I have fun with you. Let's go play.
53:34.10
J. Aundrea
Yeah let me tell you I I was watching my godson my nephew he's 5 ah walk up to another little boy and said hi my name is dot dot dot. Do you want to play and the little boy said yes and they ran off together and I said you can't do that after 30 yeah I wish I wish it was that easy to make friends after 30 okay.

54:07.43
J. Aundrea
Well yeah, okay well I guess I I guess has exceptions to every rule. But what I'm saying is.
54:14.15
Bruce Anthony
Like ah yeah, no, right? like yes.
54:22.94
J. Aundrea
Kids don't they just don't have those barriers we put them up for them. We do that and that's and that's an instance where she could have possibly put that that cashier could have put that barrier up for that child one. It's none of your business who she bound that all for just ring it up baby that you.
54:28.66
Bruce Anthony
It's learned the air.
54:40.90
Bruce Anthony
Um, just you work at Target you're a cashier target just do your damn job because we can go to the self checkout I can go to the self checkout.
54:42.48
J. Aundrea

Bruce Anthony
Little girl. Yeah.
55:18.16
J. Aundrea
The the parent accosting the little girl at the track meet that could have been another instance of him creating this barrier in the mind of this child. Luckily I believe she has 2 parents 2 loving moms that would explain to her this situation. How a it's not her fault. A is. There's nothing wrong with being trans if. That's who you are and b that that man is ignorant and don't internalize this There's nothing wrong with you or how you present or who you are at all.
55:45.74
Bruce Anthony
In this.
55:56.58
J. Aundrea
And luckily this this child at the Target had 2 parents that just stared blankly at this person and let their child speak. They let their child stand up for herself and say no, no, no, no, no, she's a doctor like I'm a doctor.
