So if you one of our play cousins from whose
ancestors hail from, you know, the Caucus Mountains, the Caucasity, noacity,
you know what I'm saying, shout out the ancestors. I
saw a comment on the Internet saying that y'all ain't
(00:26):
got ancestors, y'all got fore fathers. But if you are
of Cacazoid descent and have lived in proximity with US
diaspora of people who wash their legs and season their chicken,
(00:50):

Black folks, I'm.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Pretty sure you've tried to catch should the elusive invitation
to the cookout. But since I'm from the West, the
invitation to the barbecue, and oftentimes the main issue with
this is y'all just be trying too hard, you know,
And when you try too hard, it's just like you
just come.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
Off as weird.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Those like there's the lack of self awareness version that
just kind of just you know, comes with the raisins
in the potato salad just brought a casse role understanding
that like we just don't be eating that, you know,
and it's just like not paying attention to any like
(01:39):
social or cultural cues.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
Right, You're just you trying hard, but in a way
that is just unaware.
Speaker 2 (01:49):

prove that you a ally in a way that just
feel unnatural. You know, you know, you know, I like
my sisters, you know what I'm saying, Like that just
(02:10):
feel it, don't It don't feel right? And the truth
is we can tell. And then there's the folks that
just grew up here, and there's just hood as hell
and just like well, I don't know, Kelly live across
the street from us all life, she just one of us.
We as a culture, we take in straights, right, We're
(02:31):

beef and stuff like that, but like a lot of times,
our collective joy.
Speaker 1 (03:00):

Speaker 2 (03:03):
Can I could go to another person's family reunion and
feel perfectly at home and one of their aunties would
treat me like a nephew. We are actually a very
especially out west. And it's because again I've said this
so many times, our cam folk are Southern. You feel
