Speaker 1 (00:02):
This is the Black Information Network Daily Podcast, and I'm
your host, ramses Jah. And sometimes the amount of stories
that make their way to us means that we simply
can't cover everything that comes our way. But from time
to time, a story just stays with me and Bill
compelled to share it with you and give you my thoughts.
And now one more thing. I came across something that
(00:28):
kind of fell par for the course with this current
political climate. Texas Governor Greg Abbott basically dismantled DEI policies
in his state. I'll share the art with you in
just a second. But then I came across a tidbit
of information that I didn't know that I thought you
(00:50):
would like to know. I ran it by Q, and
Q said that he knew, but not everyone knew, And
so we are going to talk talk about it today.
So if you don't know what I'm talking about yet,
just stay tuned, because we're about to drop a bomb
on you baby. All right. This is from NBC in Austin,
(01:12):
Texas KXA N to be specific, Texas Governor Greg Abbott
issued an executive order on Friday that directed all Texas
state agencies to eliminate any forms of DEI policies. Quote.
DEI agendas divide us rather than unite us, and have
no place in the state of Texas, Abbot said previously.
(01:33):
In twenty twenty three, Abbot signed the bill banning DEI
practices at Texas's public institutions of higher education. I remember
that because we had to cover that quote. We must
always reject race based favoritism or discrimination and allow people
to advance based on talent and merit, Abbot said about
(01:55):
the executive order. Now, I feel like I'm going to
come back and re read this just to make some points.
I'll let you drop this bomb because you're feeling atomic
to me today. I'll see you on the Live man,
you're going crazy. But before I let you loose, allow
me to read a couple of things here, please, just
so we're all on the same page. I went to
(02:20):
Google and I asked Google's AI to explain DEI to me. Okay,
so this is again artificial intelligence, and what it does
is it kind of collects the sum total of human
knowledge and approximates what language should be sufficient to answer
my or to respond to my inquiry. So again, explain
(02:43):
DEI to me, And the response says DEI stands for diversity,
equity and inclusion, which refers to a set of practices
and policies aimed at ensuring that people from different backgrounds, identities,
and experiences are represented treated fairly and well, well sorry,
and valued within an organization or a community, essentially promoting
(03:05):
a culture where everyone can thrive, regardless of their differences. Okay,
I feel like I might have to come back to
that one too, but I think that that's sufficient. That's,
of course, you know, consistent with our understanding of what diversity,
equity and inclusion means, right Q correct? Okay, all right,
So let me let this one will go because I
(03:29):
want to share something that I believe is one such
precursor to the whole diversity, equity and inclusion movement. Now,
of course, the origin story takes place during the Civil
Rights movement and the Civil Rights Act, but I want
(03:50):
to add something here in case you didn't know. The
Americans with Disabilities Act, or the ADA of nineteen ninety
is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against people
with disabilities. It protects people with disabilities in many areas,
including employment, transportation, public accommodations, communications, and state and local government.
(04:10):
Programs and services. The idea's goals include ensuring quality, sorry,
ensuring equality of opportunity, promoting full participation that'st and enabling
independent living. All right, all this stuff sounds all well
and good, so far right, okay, Q tell me something
that I found out late when I found out about
(04:31):
this Texas Governor Abbot.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Here, Texas Governor Greg Abbot is disabled? Is he? Yes,
he is a person that requires the use of a wheelchair.
Oh And, as is typically the case with the new
(04:55):
MAGA Republicans, not only will they go against the best
interest of their constituents, but as long as it's racist,
they'll go against their own best interest to uphold it.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Okay, okay, Now do me another favorite cue. When we
talked about diversity inclusion, was anything specific that I said
that had to do with black people exclusively benefiting from
(05:29):
diversity in equity and diversity equity and inclusion initiatives?
Speaker 2 (05:33):
Well, of course not.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Okay, okay, So so let me let me get this
next one off. Was there anything about how we how
Google's AI explained to us what diversity equity and inclusion
and that excluded people who were differently abled, born with
(05:54):
or otherwise uh uh, incur some form of disability at
some point in their life, were they excluded from diversity
and equity and inclusion initiatives?
Speaker 2 (06:06):
Will of course not?
Speaker 1 (06:07):
Okay, okay, So it stands to reason. And indeed, when
you look up the definition of all of these things
that the civil rights movement that got us to the
Civil Rights Act, the Americans with Disabilities Act of nineteen ninety.
I think the Civil Rights Act was in nineteen sixty five,
I'm not mistaken, the ADA in nineteen ninety, and more recently,
(06:33):
the DEI initiatives that have been adopted, let's say, since
twenty twenty, since these companies were supposedly starting to listen
to the concerns of marginalized peoples and began to address
systemic oppression and to offset some of the historic injustices
that they themselves and indeed this country has imposed upon
(06:57):
black people in particular, but all marginalized peoples, including white women.
So for all of these things, they were all pointed
toward creating a more inclusive society so that everyone could
participate equally, fairly, equitably. Is that is that reasonable to
(07:22):
explain it that way?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
There's a reason they only say DEI when they're talking
about BLAD and don't say diversity, equity and inclusion, okay,
talk to me, because they would sound ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
They would sound crazy, right well, getting.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Rid of diversity, equity and inclusion because it's exclusive would
sound so you rebrand DEI as reverse racism and then
you have an easier time getting rid of it.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Oh my god.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
And you know the great philosophers the Wu Tang clan,
talk to me. That's what I like. Once bombed atomically, Okay,
I don't have bomb energy today because it's kind of spent.
I said before. I've been kind of living in a
constant state of angst, disappointment, rage, fear, anger, like all
(08:14):
mixed together. So I don't really emote much anymore, really
too high or too you know, low above where I
am now, because I'm exhausted emotionally, mentally and emotionally worn
out from every day waking up to something that makes
life less safe for my children, more dangerous for those
(08:35):
that I care about, less safe and more dangerous for
people who've never met, less safe, more dangerous, more uncomfortable,
more volatile, for people who I have nothing in common with,
but that who deserve to have peace and happiness and
want the best for their kids and themselves. Like it's
it's a new world that we live in, and it's
(08:57):
an emotionally exhaustive one. Man. I see stories like this,
and if they weren't so disgusting, evil and scary, they'd
be funny. Right. The person who has a disability and
who requires DEI and civil rights and equal protection type
(09:18):
programs to even be able to access the buildings that
he uses for work. There's a reason there's a ramp
outside of your building, sir. It's not for most people,
it's for you specifically. Yeah, so you have equitable access.
So when you break the conversations down, they're very, very simple,
and then you get to see through their veil immediately.
(09:39):
These people are racists, flatly. Almost every discussion we're having
about everything that's going on right now, if you keep
asking why and to what end, you eventually land at, Oh,
this person is just racist. I thought this was something
groundbreaking and intelligent and woke. Yeah, it's all. It all
traces back to racism. That's pretty disgusting.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
You're not wrong. Let me add something right here. For
people that cannot envision what's happening here, you know, let
them tell it, Let them tell their stories in a vacuum.
Greg Abbott does not sound like a racist person. You
still an elected official. He still has to get votes,
(10:23):
and he still needs to at least appear like a
decent enough human being to get enough votes to stay
in power, to continue to shape the future the way
that he feels is most appropriate. So for people that
cannot see behind the veil, that that are easily moved
(10:47):
by pretty enough language, allow me to paint this picture
a little bit more fully for you. This man is
a hypocrite, flatly and a coward. And I'm not the
sort of person that will say something behind somebody's back.
(11:08):
If I ever meet him, that'd be the first thing
I tell him. You could ask anybody.
Speaker 2 (11:12):
I'm sure I'm talking to you.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
I talk to a lot of people, but poor people,
celebrities all the time, and I'll tell them the first
thing that I gotta tell him. I'm not a fake person.
But anyway, they've been pushing this narrative that everyone should
have equal access to the same opportunities. And again, if
(11:35):
you hear that, it sounds sensible. Why should one group
have a privilege over another group. That's not fair. Everyone
should have equal access to everything. Okay, this is what
Greg Abbott stands on. I'm sure if he was in
this room right now, despite me calling him a coward
(11:56):
to his face, he would agree that that sentiment is
the sentiment that embodies his push. Okay, if he wants
to appear decent. But let me make let me make
a larger point here. Let me make a larger point.
Equal access to your point que to that building where
he works is the steps, the steps and an open door.
(12:21):
Everybody is welcome. If you can get here, you can
come in the building. That's equal access. Everybody come to
the building is open, merit based. Equitable access is a
wheelchair ramp. So for people that have a tough time
envisioning what equity is, equity meets you where you are
(12:45):
and gives you the inroads. I'm sure nobody would have
said or I'm sure he would have been upset. Let
me say it this way. He would have been upset
if someone said to him, hey, you know what, you're
in a wheelchair, so you didn't make it in here
on your own merit. You don't deserve to be in
here because you're in a wheelchair like that would have
been crazy. Talk to him.
Speaker 2 (13:06):
Yeah, he would have thought you were being ridiculous, right.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
But if we build him a ramp so he can
get his wheelchair in there, then he can get in
there and be just as effective. If someone says to him, well,
you don't deserve to be here because you only got
in here because of the wheelchair ramp, he would push
back and say, no, I got in here because I
did the work to become the governor of this state.
And he would be insulted by that. But he cannot
(13:30):
conceive of the inverse of that. That white privilege is
a blinder. That's a bright light. It'll blind you. And
so this is why I can double triple quadruple ken
tupple down on the fact that this guy hypocrite and
a coward, because facing that reality has got to be
the scariest thing for him, and.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
His literal reality paints such a clear analogous comparison for
you to use. Yeah, the ramp, the ramp, fam, it's
so literal. We don't have to be more colorful with.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Your only the only reason you're in this room is
because the ramp outside. You're a ramp higher, and.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
If it wasn't there, someone had to pick you up
and carry you.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
Yeah, you didn't get in your on your own. How
insulting would that be? Now, last thing I'll say, because
I feel it's important to say this to you. I
love you, Quentin. You are my brother. I will be
here as your permanent traveling companion through this life. You
(14:33):
can call on me and count on me whenever you
need me, and I will be there. You do not
have to walk alone, You do not have to worry. Okay,
But I do want to say this to go back
to the Wu Tang specifically Inspected Deck who bombs it.
(14:54):
I want to want to requote or I'd rather I
want to quote a different song that he did with
the Gang Star. It's so funny because we actually come
from this world. We can actually have this conversation. But
this is just for you, not necessarily for anyone else.
But if you know what I'm talking about out there,
I appreciate you staying with me. There's a bar that
(15:16):
just kind of keeps me inspired and hopefully find some
comfort in these words. You know you're a man. You
know that we're not put here to stay the most
that we can do is live the moments that we have. Well,
when I look at you, I see a man who
lives his life well, and I want to make sure
that you have that from me. And well, there's an
(15:36):
audience and microphones and people to witness me making this
statement to you. But again, Inspector Deck has a song
with Guru and Prem called Above the Clouds, and there's
a line in there where he says, when we die hard,
they'll build a monument to honor us with humongous respect
in the world we could have conquered it. And that
(16:00):
feels kind of special. So, regardless of what comes next,
you've made me very proud. And I know that whatever
comes next, if you're tired, I will be stronger for you.
And I hope that I know that when I'm tired,
you'll be stronger for me. So sometimes you say these
(16:20):
things and you know, and I don't think you're the
only person that feels that way. And sometimes I have
my moments too, But you know, our job is to
call out this nonsense, and I think we do a
good job of it. And I feel capable because you're
here with me. I feel for I because you're here
with me, and my hope is that I can return
(16:40):
that energy to you in moments when you kind of
lose sight of it. So so shout out to Deck,
appreciate that and I love you too, man, I know
you do, all right? Anybody got anything else to add
this one? Greg Abbott, maybe we miss something. I think
we kind of nailed that one to the wall. But again,
if you got something to add, reach out to us.

And now one more thing. I came across something that
(00:28):
kind of fell par for the course with this current

tupple down on the fact that this guy hypocrite and
a coward, because facing that reality has got to be
the scariest thing for him, and.
Speaker 2 (13:50):
His literal reality paints such a clear analogous comparison for
you to use. Yeah, the ramp, the ramp, fam, it's
so literal. We don't have to be more colorful with.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Your only the only reason you're in this room is
because the ramp outside. You're a ramp higher, and.

this is just for you, not necessarily for anyone else.
But if you know what I'm talking about out there,
I appreciate you staying with me. There's a bar that
(15:16):
just kind of keeps me inspired and hopefully find some
comfort in these words. You know you're a man. You
know that we're not put here to stay the most
that we can do is live the moments that we have. Well,
when I look at you, I see a man who
lives his life well, and I want to make sure
that you have that from me. And well, there's an
(15:36):
audience and microphones and people to witness me making this
statement to you. But again, Inspector Deck has a song
with Guru and Prem called Above the Clouds, and there's
a line in there where he says, when we die hard,
they'll build a monument to honor us with humongous respect
in the world we could have conquered it. And that
(16:00):
feels kind of special. So, regardless of what comes next,
you've made me very proud. And I know that whatever
comes next, if you're tired, I will be stronger for you.
And I hope that I know that when I'm tired,
you'll be stronger for me. So sometimes you say these
(16:20):
things and you know, and I don't think you're the
only person that feels that way. And sometimes I have
my moments too, But you know, our job is to
call out this nonsense, and I think we do a
good job of it. And I feel capable because you're
here with me. I feel for I because you're here
with me, and my hope is that I can return
(16:40):
that energy to you in moments when you kind of
lose sight of it. So so shout out to Deck,
appreciate that and I love you too, man, I know
you do, all right? Anybody got anything else to add
this one? Greg Abbott, maybe we miss something. I think
we kind of nailed that one to the wall. But again,
if you got something to add, reach out to us.
You can do so using the red microphone talk back
feature on the iHeart Radio app. But of course you
can me on all social media at ramos.
