Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, Steve, here we are last break of the
day and we're ready for your closing remarks.
Speaker 2 (00:05):
What you got hey?
Speaker 3 (00:06):
My close remarks today was kind of spurred on by
an email.
Speaker 4 (00:10):
Or a question.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
Some young man had called in earlier, not called in,
but written in and wanted to know that he had
a relationship with a woman for two years. He really
loves her, and she asked him for thirty five hundred
dollars and he feels uncomfortable loaning her that kind of
money because he thinks it'll affect the relationship. So at
(00:33):
the end of the conversation, it was should I loan
her the money but I think it'll affect our relationship?
Or should I give her the money, which prompted me
to thinking. And I don't know what he should do,
but if he's serious about the woman, then you got
to practice the way you're gonna play.
Speaker 4 (00:50):
If this is your girl and you're gonna have a
life with her.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
I don't see the problem in helping her, because why
would you have a person in your life that you're
not going to support and help. However, whatever the financial
burden it is, I'm not talking about the dollar amount
because thirty five hundred dollars to some people is a
huge amount of money, and I understand that. So I'm
not talking about the dollar amount. I'm talking about the
principle if you are going to if you have a
(01:17):
plan of loving someone and spending a life with someone,
you're gonna have to help that person from time to time,
and that person is gonna have to help you from
time to time.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
That's it's a year. It's a give and take in
a relationship.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
I don't understand how I'm hearing so much from young
men today.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Now let me say this.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I'm not a spokesperson for black people, but guess what,
I am an expert at manhood. I know everything there
is about manhood. You can't tell me nothing new about manhood.
I'm sixty seven.
Speaker 4 (01:56):
Now.
Speaker 3 (01:56):
You can tell me some different circumstances that I might
not have dealt before, but you can't tell me nothing
about the principles of manhood. I was fortunate to have
my father for forty years. I was fortunate to have
my grandfather until I was about fifteen. I was fortunate
to still have Uncle Donald in my life and a
(02:16):
couple other uncles. I was fortunate enough to have had
my brothers my entire life, my oldest brother's past, my
youngest brother's eleven years old, eleven years older than me.
I've been around me and my whole life. I've seen
examples of what manhood is. And let me tell you
the truth of manhood. We are men. When you are men.
(02:41):
That comes with something. Now, whether you want it or not,
that ain't got nothing to do with the requirements of it.
I was raised and taught that we have two things
that is a must as a man, protection and provision.
You have to do those two things. They are not debatable.
It is not on the negotiation table. It is the
(03:03):
core of who we are as men, protectors and providers.
That's at the core of manhood. The number one principle
of manhood that my father taught me was do what
you say you gonna do. That's number one. Nothing else
matters as a man, because everybody can respect you, if
(03:24):
they can count on you. Your children will respect you
if you do what you say you're gonna do. If
daddy said he gonna pick you up, Daddy shaw up,
he picked you up. Daddy say he gonna take you
over here, Daddy take you over there, You're gonna respect
your father in your relationship with the woman. If you
tell her what you're gonna do and you do it,
she will respect you for that. There is something that
(03:46):
comes with manhood, and we are starting to lose it
in this newer generation. And I can only attribute it
to to so many young men are being raised without
their father as active in their life. And that ain't
your fault, young brothers, And I'm not coming down on
you for it, but take it from somebody who had
that in his life then to his entire time. There's
(04:08):
something that comes with manhood, protection and provision.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Is it.
Speaker 3 (04:14):
I'm getting tired of hearing young brothers come on Instagram
asking women all the time what y'all bring to the table? Well,
first of all, I don't know if nobody told you nothing,
but it's your job to build the table. I'm sorry
nobody told you that it's your job to construct a table. Now,
(04:40):
what she would bring to the table is if you
are a man and you want a wife, she would
bring that to the table. If you are a man
and you want a family, she's gonna bring that to
the table. Now that making a family is huge because
women are the only producers and manufacturers of life. So
(05:00):
if they can make a family, you trying to tell
me you're not supposed to provide for it.
Speaker 4 (05:09):
Excuse me, it's a simple question.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
If this woman can come to this table and give
you what you want, a daughter or a son that
you get the name after you.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
To get to carry your family name on.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
You mean to tell me you don't think your obligation
is to provide for her.
Speaker 4 (05:28):
That's where you wrong, because it is.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
All this conversation about I ain't paying nothing for a woman, Billy,
Where did you get that from? Who told you this
was fifty to fifty? Who told you that you should
go on every date and go Dutch? Who told you
that if a woman ain't worth a plate of food,
how she worth building a home with. I'm just trying
(05:53):
to understand that, young brothers. I'm not coming down on you.
I'm just telling you what we are as me and
the truth about man. Who it is, This is who
we need to be, who you emulating what you're trying
to be. We are men. You can't forget that. You
don't get off the hook from that. We are men.
I'm just talking about I'm talking to hetero sexual men.
(06:17):
I have no conversation for nothing else. I don't know
nothing about nothing else. But if you are a heterosexual man,
your job is protection and provision.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Period.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Now, I don't misunderstand nothing I said, and I don't
understand where we're going. We need to get back to
who God made us to be. Simple as that, we
men protection and provision. I'm not talking about your sexuality.
I'm talking about protection and provision. That's what we do.
Those are my clothing remarks.
Speaker 2 (06:47):
Have a great for all.
