Speaker 1 (00:01):
All Right, guys, this story is unbelievable coming out of Cleveland,
very shocking Cleveland, Mississippi. At Delta State University, it's a
predominantly white university. This is where a twenty one year
old black student identified as Trey Reid was found hanging
from a tree in the central part of the campus.

(00:22):
You heard me right. The campus was shut down on
Monday to begin the investigation into the death, which, so far,
get this has been deemed a suicide. Excuse me, Yeah,
that's also shocking. Yeah. In a press conference, a county
coroner stated that the investigation is ongoing, but there are

(00:43):
no indications of foul play in Reed's death. The corner
addressed rumors that circulated on social media that Reed's legs
and arms were broken. He said he and his colleague,
the deputy corner, saw quote no evidence of broken limbs.
Delta State is as a public university with a fifty
two percent white students for ratio and thirty six percent black.

(01:07):
We will be following this story closely. Here's a spy.

Speaker 2 (01:12):
Well, here's the deal. There is so many cameras everywhere nowadays.
They got ways of backtracking everything. If anybody was near
that tree walking towards that tree rope anything it's own
camera somewhere. And then with social media the way it

(01:32):
is today, somebody gonna say something and it will all
come out. It has to. But now what we have
to make sure is and the and the people in
that community have to make sure is that they are
on top of them that they don't just let this
go up under the rug, right because you know, the
corner can say it's a suicide, and it could be,

(01:54):
and it could be because social media that already ran
with it in so many different directions. But one thing
about it, if they want to know the truth, they
can get at You can't do nothing like that nowadays
at a central part of a university, young people, social
media technology. Somebody saw somebody walking some with somebody, and

(02:18):
then and and and and then that'll get to the
truth of it. But you can't. You can't let it
go up.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Under the room. No, that's right, that's right. That's the
community has to support the family.

Speaker 2 (02:27):
The family, I'm sure has some And another thing, public
hanging is not a real choice for suicide.

Speaker 1 (02:37):
What I know absolutely this ain't suicide. You're going to
be following this story We'll keep your post for sure
on this story. Wow. All right, guys, uh and switching
gears now again in case you guys have been living
under a rock. Comedian an actress Monique has had a
decade long fight with Tyler Kerry. Uh. That's started after

(03:01):
the filming of the movie Precious. After that was all done,
she's spoken out numerous times claiming she's been blackballed for
not promoting the movie. So now here we are yet again,
and Monique has mentioned Tyler Perry and Oprah on her
live video, claiming that she will never let that beef go.
Monique said quote, so for me, my babies, I won't

(03:21):
let it go. That doesn't mean I'm bitter. I'm not angry.
I'm not. Just so we're clear, I'm not. She explained
that the let it go mentality dates back to slavery
and that's why we as black people keep getting treated
the way we're treated. The video then took a really
nasty turn when Monique said quote, I love my brother

(03:42):
and sister, or my sister and sister, whatever day Tyler chooses. Yeah,
whichever way he goes, I love them. However, wrong is
wrong and right is right. End quote. But here's a question.
Did you guys catch the shade in that statement though?
Did you catch yeah right away? Yeah, come on, yeah,
I love my brother and sister or my sister and sister. Yeah.

(04:05):
A lot of commenters on the video Steve were in
support of Monique and her stance on never letting it go,
while you know, others countless of this bag. Monique. Just
please let it go Monique and stop throwing shade.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
Well, you know, listen, if you're feeding the narrative, if
you're supporting this, you're not helping this sister. You're just
not helping this sister. And I wish nothing but the
best for Monique, because, man, let me tell you something.
In Monique's prime, it was Monique a Dale Givings and Somemora.

(04:41):
Them girls right there, man, Samore whatever you know, dim
girls right there, they was wicked. Man. I'm talking about funny, funny, funny,
And I missed that from Monique. I missed the comedian Monique. Now,
however you feel about it, at the end of the day,

(05:05):
all of us, and it has nothing to do with slavery,
nothing at all. Forgiveness. We're not talking about slave, We're
not talking about atrocity against mankind. We're not talking about
four hundred years of racism, bigotry, enslave min That's not
what we're talking about here. We're talking about an incident
between a few human beings. If you don't forgive or

(05:33):
let go, you damage yourself and people. You have to
understand that. So while you're buying into the narrative, I
hear you, I hear you. No, no, no, no. That
doesn't help this system. It really really doesn't. And like
I said, I wish Monique nothing but the best man
because man, we were really really cool. And Monique at
her peak, Boy who that girl was? Lord have mercy? Funny.

(05:54):
Oh I saw a small glimpse of it when she
was on the shay. Shehad club shape shape. You need
a big old growing over.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
You know.

Speaker 2 (06:03):
That was a vintage Monique. But listen, man, if you
live in the past, that's where you'll remain. Cannot live
in the darkness of your past and expect to ever
see the brightness of your future. And I don't care
who you are, all right, And that's the message people
need to get from this.

Speaker 1 (06:24):
Man.

Speaker 2 (06:25):
I pray for Monique, Man, I really really do.
