big debate. I'm serious. I sit on your patient to

Speaker 3 (02:01):
WHOA welcome to Truth Talks. Last week we had an
amazing start on our new platform, the Black Star Network.
We come on right after Roland Martin Unfiltered, and we're
honored to welcome all the Bring the Funk fan club
to our show, Truth Talks. I need all of you
to hop in the chat tonight, truth Tellers. We are

(02:22):
here for you. Let's rock, Let's talk.

Speaker 6 (02:24):
Let's are y'all ready to roll?

Speaker 1 (02:38):
Met y'all?

Speaker 3 (02:42):
Truth Talks is back with undiluted, unapologetic black and the
Black don't crack truth telling, the show that asks the
tough questions and answers them like friends in a bar.
Please give a warm welcome to the next generation. Wise
Man Dmitri Wiley.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
I hear y'all, I hear y'all. Hear y'all, I hear y'all.
I appreciate you. Pleasure to be here.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
And doctor Sarah Fouto, what's up?

Speaker 7 (03:07):
Super happy to be here today, feeling very blessed while
I'm in Los Angeles, California, and happy you guys are
here with me.

Speaker 3 (03:13):
I feel the bright shiny energy and doctor shy and Bryant,
how are you, my sister.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
I'm doing amazing. Listen, I only have one thing. Let's
get into it. Let's drop the topics, let's put in
the spice, and I'm ready to be nothing. But I
was gonna say nice, but that might not quite fit
how I come on here. But I'm ready. Let's get
into the stuff. Al Right, what you got for us?

Speaker 3 (03:33):
They attacking me every episode, but it's all love. I
get it, I get it. We we go get into it.
Storied up for one trending truth is did he broke?
Is he going broke? He had a huge fortune, hundreds
of millions of dollars, but he bes convicted. The government
will claw back most of his money. They call it

(03:54):
ill gotten gains. They will confiscate everything that they can
connect to anything illegal, because this is about his business
is a rico. If they get him on the racketeering charge,
they're probably going to take a lot of his money.
Some of his kids are young adults, but his twin
daughters are still teenagers. He has two younger daughters much
younger than them. Doug, where do his children go from here?

Speaker 4 (04:18):
I mean, listen, I think as much as we believe
Diddy's empire is coming crashing down, I think the least
amount of the least thing of his empire that's coming
crashing down is his money. Now I don't know who
that is, but I don't feel like his kids are
going to have to worry about what to do financially
or socio economically where they go. The money that he

(04:39):
has isn't limited to excuse me, a lawsuit, And as
we pretty much mentioned prior to getting on here, he's
making money by written out his private jet while being
in prison. So the man is still accumulating cash while
he's also cashing out for this lawsuit and everything else
he has going on.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
D b tri He made four million dollars renting out
his private plane. That's for somebody who's used to being
worth three four hundred million dollars. If he can't get
into business with another liquor company, another uh, you know,
apparel company, right, another record company, so he gets like,
what does he do?

Speaker 5 (05:16):
How?

Speaker 3 (05:16):
I wonder if we're gonna look forward, look look ahead
to Diddy being bankrupt.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
You know, the thing about it is is honestly comparative.
It's what you're used to. You only pang from what
you're used to. So if I had.

Speaker 8 (05:28):
Money and I always have money, and I lost money
and I can't afford my means or what I'm comfortable with,
then the.

Speaker 1 (05:34):
Panic starts to set in.

Speaker 8 (05:35):
You know, It's actually very funny to me because I
remember Dave Chappelle recently set on like a Saturday Night Live.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
Skit that it's a very scary time to be famous.

Speaker 8 (05:44):
Why because nowadays a person like Diddy or you know,
any other sort of influence you have that makes your money,
it's directly tied to who you are as a person.
So for the allegations to possibly be true, him to
be in so much controversy, it may be very hard
to strike a deal like that.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Again, Sarah, it's possible he could beat the charges.

Speaker 2 (06:04):
As possible, it's also possible, perhaps even more possible, that.

Speaker 3 (06:08):
Trump might pardon him, so he might be free one day.
Can you imagine him reconstituting his business, his empire despite
all that has happened to his image?

Speaker 4 (06:22):
Ah, not in America.

Speaker 7 (06:23):
No, I think that he's going to have to leave
the country, fall off the face of the American earth.
But I absolutely think that Diddy is connected to highly influential,
highly wealthy.

Speaker 4 (06:34):
And highly powerful people.

Speaker 7 (06:36):
Where as long as he's investing privately, I don't think
it'll be much of an issue. I think as long
as he can keep his mouth shut, I don't think
it'll be much of an issue. Even if you were
to go to Middle Eastern countries, they're into some pretty
crazy things over there.

Speaker 9 (06:50):
Sarah Sarah, Yes, you're seriously suggesting that a person has
been unmasked as having been the crap out of his
girlfriend of times. Yeah, see that possibly allegedly raped her
will be fine?

Speaker 7 (07:06):
Yeah, I do think that because you also have to
remember I believe now.

Speaker 4 (07:10):
I wasn't there.

Speaker 7 (07:11):
But why is it that a lot of these celebrities
are saying they went home when the freak offs started?

Speaker 4 (07:16):
But did they really?

Speaker 3 (07:17):
So?

Speaker 7 (07:17):
I feel like there's an opportunity where a lot of
these powerful, influential, wealthy people that were also in that
space that Diddy is not riting out, that is not
bringing to the to the stand. I think that those
are relationships that are going to help him to keep
his money up, keep his relationships thriving.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I know that.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
People are making that point here to four in this
microscopic trial, microscoping Ditty's life. All we have ever heard
of is the freak Offs being three people, Cassie, a
sex worker, and Diddy. We have not heard anyone verify
the thing we've been talking about, the big eyes wide
shut Hollywood party where there's you know this one and

(07:59):
that one in celebrity. We have not heard of that.
And I'm going around my people who are a bad
boy and I'm like, did you hear of these? And
They're like, I didn't even heard them. So I have
no quantifiable person who's saying I was there at that
thing that we have been talking about. I don't know.
I don't, I don't. I don't imagine, Hia, that somebody

(08:19):
could have people saying these sorts of things about you
and then ever again being able to be above ground.

Speaker 4 (08:27):
It's about money, This is my thing. I don't think Diddy,
if he beats this case, is going to have a
problem with money, with honey, our honey or money. I
don't think that will be a problem. I'm more concerned
about the psychological impacts on these children than this lavish
lifestyle for them to be able to continue to live.

(08:48):
I feel like the biggest barrier is for him to
beat this case, or for him to not beat the case,
maybe get a domestic violence charge, do a little bit
of time, get his ass out, and all he's going
to we calibrate. I'll land on this, you know. The
saying is, if you split the money up and give
everybody in the world an equal amount within a very

(09:08):
very very short amount of time, the folks who were
millionaires and billionaires, who were the ones that accumulate the
world to begin with, all the money will be back
in their bank account at some point. So what I'm
saying is this, if Didd he knew how to didot
one time, two times, Terrey hold on, Diddy will be
able to did it again. Listen, he had money before
these endorsements. Did he been hustling from the streets of

(09:31):
New York before any of these record deals? Of course,
it's a different time. I don't see a man who'd
done what he's done, get out of jail, beat this
case and then say I'm broke. Come on, let's be realistic, y'all.
That's not going to happen.

Speaker 3 (09:43):
I mean, I'm just I'm not sure how you could
walk away with your reputation. So in tatters and then
find major partners to work with you so you could
make that big money again. But remember to hold on,
let me, let me. I am dying to get to
the next story because I love this story. It is
probably my favorite story of the year so far. The

(10:07):
largest ant developed plantation in history burned to the ground
this year, the not away plantation of museum and a venue.
Massive fire. Look at look, let's just look, just look.
Listen to the fire burning. Can you see torture, the

(10:28):
forced labor camp, the human travel being great, all the
trapped souls who were tortured in this place being released
in free. I only wish that someone could set this
fire again so we could go back to meeting too experiencing.
But you know what, this was an event space for
weddings and birthdays. It was a place of employment even

(10:52):
for some black people, Dmitri. Some black people held weddings
there about thirty percent of their wedding business, their event,
their entire event business. Weddings and birthdays were Black people
having weddings or parties at this plantation. Do you understand
the mindset of somebody who would have a black person

(11:15):
who would have a major life event there.

Speaker 8 (11:18):
Imagine imagine me waiting my whole life, this lost lover boy,
I go get married and I got my grandma chaw
chaw sliding over cemetery.

Speaker 1 (11:28):
Oh hell no, it don't work for me. I couldn't
do it. The thing about it is, let that motherfucker burn.

Speaker 8 (11:34):
And I hear I heard a lot of people saying,
you know, it employed black people, and it did this,
and it did that.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
If the only job in this community.

Speaker 8 (11:42):
We can get is a plantation turned wedding venue, you
need to move. You want to tell what I'm saying
because the jobs available here in Chicago. I don't be
cause I ain't trying to hear it. Let that motherfucker burn.

Speaker 2 (11:54):
Grand sarah.

Speaker 3 (11:56):
Oh yeah, oh, oh, you'd get married there. I heard
it and the oh you would get me.

Speaker 4 (12:00):
No.

Speaker 7 (12:00):
Now look I'm not getting married there.

Speaker 4 (12:02):
And let me be clear. Okay. I come from activists
in my family.

Speaker 7 (12:06):
My dad, who was from Compton, California, although I grew
up in Canada. My dad was a part of the
cal State Northridge student activism that happened in the seventies
so that there was equality and opportunity for black students.
African American students. So I believe in fighting for the people.
And I can also see how going there is like

(12:26):
I'm going to stick it to the man because you
have no power over me. There's no power that anyone
or anything has over me now when I get married there, No,
But I can kind of understand that mindset.

Speaker 3 (12:38):
I don't. I'm not mad at you, Sarah, I do.
I would never do that, but I do feel what
you're saying. As we were talking. As to me, you
was talking, I was thinking about Viola Davis buying you know,
her grandmother's home and like trying to reclaim the past
for ourselves, and so like I kind of see your
doctor Bryant question for you, Your really good white girlfriend

(13:03):
is getting married there, and of course she's inviting you.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
She ain't done old hold on, She not inviting me
because she invited you, She not inviting me.

Speaker 3 (13:14):
Well no, but that's the question. She does invite.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
You tell her it ain't a question. She's not inviting me.
And none of my white ally friends would do something
as stupid as this because they would know who they're
friends with. I ain't playing with that shit. I'm very outspoken.
My thing is I'm only upset that they didn't send
a mass black folk invitation, so we could all line

(13:38):
our asses up outside of that thing, watch it burn.
Throw in some of the ship we want to burn up,
throwing some of them trauma looples we want to burn up,
throwing some of them just functional psychological, uh, generational curses
that we want to throw on that bitch, and let
it all burn together. And then let's set up spade
games and domino games and let's have that. Let's do
let's do the wording fans that I want to chop.

(13:59):
I want to do all that once that thing burned down,
because I think that we deserve to celebrate alongside our
ancestors who are sitting up there going we waited all
this time for the place that created so much dismantling
and hardship, not just in that moment, but as we
see long term impactful effects that we are still experiencing

(14:19):
till this day. Okay, I wish we would have had
a chance to celebrate the burning of it, and not
just celebrate a wedding inside of a place where our
ancestors were literally dissipated in demise. I'm good. I don't
want to celebrate that I want to celebrate, Like Dmitri said,
in Dmitri's word his voice, that motherfucker burn.

Speaker 3 (14:41):
If you are if you live in that town and
you're struggling to find work and there is a job
open there, could you consider it. Could you blame somebody
who's saying, hey, like this is a decent job for me,
or like, no, you cannot work there. That's crazy.

Speaker 8 (14:58):
No, you know the thing about it, I'm gonna be realistic.
I'm gonna be honest with you sometimes. This is how
I look at it.

Speaker 1 (15:05):
Somebody was having a debate that was like I would pixelate.
I would pick cotton.

Speaker 8 (15:09):
If they paid a million dollars now one hundred dollars now,
because there's a lot of people doing a lot for
a lot less me.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
I'm a man of principal. I can't do it me.

Speaker 8 (15:18):
No, I actually, if I lived in that town, I'd
have actually been in jail for like arsenal, because would
have burned them upfuck a long time ago.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
I've been there with you. I would rather die of
a headache than get a bit of cotton out of
an aspirin bottle. So that's me.

Speaker 4 (15:37):
But don't you.

Speaker 7 (15:38):
Feel like you know the ancestors are there with you
on your special day.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
Okay, all jokes aside and.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
Over ways, My god.

Speaker 7 (15:52):
What I'm saying is really and truly, I just feel
like when you can get rid of any of those
power things that are over you, I'm just not giving
it to any man.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
And I feel like, you.

Speaker 7 (16:03):
Know, there were house negroes and there were field negroes.
But I'll have y'all know that my my family on
my dad's side is from Louisiana and they on their
own land were picking cotton now, so so you know,
I just Louisiana, so that come from Louisiana. They live
in Compton, so.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
They were sharecroppers. That's a classic great migration. But their sharecropping, okay, great.
I mean, I don't you know, I do. I do
feel you, Sarah. There's so many places though, where you
could commune with the ancestors without doing it in a
space that was of torture and kidnapping. For that one.

Speaker 1 (16:40):
That's all I'm saying.

Speaker 4 (16:42):
But I want to hit on what Sarah said really
quickly re move on. She said that she is not
allowing anyone, any outside forces, a man of any color whatever,
to have this power over her right where burning something
down like this really makes that big of a deal.
And I hear that, but I want to add that
burning down something that meant nothing but negative, that represented

(17:04):
so much of a poversh of oppress a time for us,
and we again drive by it, we see it, people
are celebrating at it. That is a secondary trauma that
does create now to that trauma loop we talked about
in one of our episodes, and so burning down that
actually does release a lot of power to us, and
it actually does help us see the power we do

(17:26):
have in this country. For all the work that our
advocacy and our freedom fighters have put in. These motherfuckers
understand that there came a day that our ancestors didn't
think these type of buildings and plantations would be burned down, destroyed.
And the power is we as a people and our
allies have worked so hard that they've burning stuff down
so we don't have to live in the secondary trauma,
so we don't have to drive past that and say, damn,

(17:48):
you know what. I wonder how it felt when they
were picking cotton. I wonder how it felt when our
ancestors were in slavery. Guess what. We don't have to
see it. We can hear about it in our history books.
We don't have to drive past that, and we live
and be reactivated by something that isn't even happening anymore.

Speaker 1 (18:02):
You're right, it's.

Speaker 2 (18:03):
Very cathartic to watch that burn down.

Speaker 3 (18:06):
Perhaps the most cathartic things, Yes, I have experienced since
I saw Jamie Foxx in Django Unchain take a bull
whip from a mass and whip him. I was like, Bravo,
I need ten more just like that.

Speaker 4 (18:20):
Oh, I agreed with you. This is agreement number one.
You probably won't get another one.

Speaker 1 (18:23):
Brother.

Speaker 3 (18:26):
Okay, Well, the audience that can follow along as you wish.
Today in politicking really important segment. Racist memes shared by
a couple of Navy seals have prompted disciplinary action for
the seals.

Speaker 2 (18:41):
Look at this cliff.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
Okay, two day, these seals sharing racist memes aimed at
one black sailor who's out there with them doing all
the stuff, with them fighting, running all the pain that
they're going through. He's going through too, but they are
creating these racist memes about him looking like a slave
like other things, like denigrating him even though he's going

(19:20):
through the same but Dimitri, at some point, the black
member of this seal team will be asked go do something.
And in these moments you gotta trust the other people
with you. Do they have your back? Are they with you?
If somebody shoots at you, will they be thinking about
you first? What all the things that you have to
do for the brothers and sisters in your platoon? How

(19:41):
do you do that as a black seal when you
know that other people in your even if they were punished,
think that's what they would do.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
You know.

Speaker 8 (19:52):
The thing about it is, when I worked, as you said,
normal nine to five, it's hard to trust the people
that ain't got my life on the line.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Are to trust the people who just my job's relying
on their job? This is completely different.

Speaker 8 (20:05):
This is having to put your entire being or existence
onto somebody else if they're failing to see you as
a troop. And the thing about it is, how can
you say you support the troops if you stay silent.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
On something so large.

Speaker 8 (20:19):
I'm actually pro punishment, pro removing it pro because the
thing about it is, it'll be entirely too difficult for
me to work under those circumstances.

Speaker 3 (20:27):
Sarah, how do you trust somebody who you know, like
in a crazy life and death type situation here you're
putting your body and your life on the line, your mind,
your spirit, and you know somebody said racist things about you.

Speaker 1 (20:41):
How do you do that?

Speaker 10 (20:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 7 (20:43):
I see that's a struggle for me because my question
is is this person actually being racist or is this
an agreement that two people have to joke around. What's
he inside of the group chat where the memes are
being had, Because sometimes people allow themselves to be the
center of the pun of the joke. Sometimes people allow

(21:04):
for those outside of our color to say the inWORD,
not me.

Speaker 3 (21:09):
Who's doing that? Where is that happening? Where are the
black people who are saying? Why say the word?

Speaker 7 (21:15):
Who's doing There are so many black people and this
is the thing, This is why we are the diaspora
of the spectrum.

Speaker 4 (21:22):
Right.

Speaker 7 (21:23):
Depending on where you were raised or what you've seen
or who you've been around, you may or may not
have seen that.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
But the truth is that it happens. So for my
my my brain.

Speaker 7 (21:31):
Says, either this person is a complete idiot with a
disregard for their life, because I will not be racist
to a man that can move.

Speaker 4 (21:39):
Out the way so I get hit by a bullet
that is.

Speaker 7 (21:41):
So ignorant or or it's it's it's it's a joke.
And for me, if I'm putting my life on the line,
if I'm putting my my trust in that this person
is gonna have my back, that's going to pull me
to safety, then I would hope that this person, and
it's okay on all fronts, is okay with that level
of joking.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
I don't think that it's not okay.

Speaker 3 (22:02):
With racist joking period. Like white people cannot make anti
black jokes like and then expect me to like like
or respect them, like that's not happening.

Speaker 1 (22:12):
I don't.

Speaker 3 (22:13):
I'm not sure how you're like, well, it's just a joke,
Like that's not going to be acceptable to me.

Speaker 7 (22:17):
But there are people that do that. Some people are
the punt of the jokes. Some people are used to
being the token black people. Some people are used to
being the token white people. And sometimes when you're so
used to playing that role, it just becomes a thing. Everybody.

Speaker 4 (22:30):
It's a melting pot. It is what it is.

Speaker 3 (22:31):
Now.

Speaker 7 (22:32):
I'm not saying I am that person. I'm saying that
I know these people.

Speaker 1 (22:37):
I ain't gonna lie that. I will be honest. She
cook it.

Speaker 8 (22:39):
She cooking right now because in this I don't know
about y'all generation, but in this generation, in the working world,
you constantly see like different culture shooting racist shit at
each other all the time. These are like jokes they
make like literally black to Mexican, black to white, and it.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
Just goes back and forth. I've never been one to tolerated.

Speaker 3 (22:57):
But You've overheard people and you're job making anti black
jokes all.

Speaker 8 (23:02):
The time, all the time, and it's almost like.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
Would that be okay for someone to say something anti
black in front of you?

Speaker 4 (23:12):
They're saying that it happens. They're not saying it's okaypping.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
In front of you, and you didn't deal with it,
then you are tasking and and you are.

Speaker 4 (23:23):
Part of the racism rhetoric that you allowed to happen.
I row with you to but I hear saying that
they are not allowing it, nor do they have friends
in their company that do it. But they know that
there are a lot of groups that will allow other
people outside of being black to say the n he said,
he's heard it.

Speaker 3 (23:41):
I wouldn't lose my mind. Somebody in my work space
said something right, and I have had that happen and
I did lose my mind. I don't know to beat you.
Where is this world where people at your job are
saying racist things and you're not like either HR or
you and Cassy's fists or you at least go hear
a lot.

Speaker 1 (24:00):
See me, I was never the HR caller. I'm a
fist throat right off top thrown for me in my
black culture. That's just that's just me. The thing about
it is, I've heard it.

Speaker 8 (24:10):
I addressed the black man in the situation and said,
why are you okay with this? Okay, now, I'm gonna
make him uncomfortable and make sure none of this shit happens.

Speaker 1 (24:18):
That's just me. I've stopped it. But it happens so
much often than you think. This.

Speaker 8 (24:24):
This is jokes for them, like they love shooting at
each other like this for us, this trauma.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
So you know, it's all about how.

Speaker 4 (24:29):
And I want to go you know, Demetri, you on you,
You're on point. I want to go a little further
to ad because you know, I my father's side is black,
right Barbados black. My mother's side is is Hispanic, and
French creole. Obviously, we have Mexicans that we are and
my Mexican family who's not forreo, who's not black. I
have to be honest to to Dimitri and Sarah's point,

(24:50):
they use the N word they inside their home as
hold on inside their home Mexican hold on toy because
now are hold on torey. We are not the bar
Come on, they use damn all right, nigga, come on now.
So what I'm saying is at family events, we got
us mixed black folks and we got fam as Mexicans.
We're all family. But they were literally walking the house
and be like, what's that nigga? And they hold on

(25:12):
but they are not black. So let me be real
about it. It happens not just in friendship groups. I'm
going deeper to say it happens in families.

Speaker 3 (25:20):
Now.

Speaker 4 (25:20):
Again, let me be clear. My family is not saying
n I G E R. They're saying the the you know,
the straight termed nigga. And do I do we tell
them you're a Mexican. Don't say that. We just flow
with it. It happens.

Speaker 3 (25:33):
Now.

Speaker 4 (25:34):
I don't know if he goes to work and does it,
but I have to say that because it happens at
such a nucleus level as far as family, that may
also give them the idea that they can go outside
the family and do it. Do I check my uncle
for doing it? No, I don't check them.

Speaker 3 (25:47):
If I was not racist, at least I don't think
if I was. If I if I, and I can
thinking of at least two specific work situations where somebody
said something ignorant and they thought that was a joke,
but I was like, that's.

Speaker 2 (26:02):
Not funny, and now I'm offended, And.

Speaker 3 (26:05):
I felt like the black community past and president standing
behind me, going, well, you're gonna say something, you will
let that go, And like, of course I'm not gonna
let that go. Like I wouldn't even be in the
spaces that I'm in if others had not lifted me up.
So if I have that platform and that privilege will
be at this level, I got to at least run

(26:25):
my mouth to say we are not having racist jokes
or comments happening around me, Like you gotta know, like
we can't say that shit around him because he will
go off and I would not have.

Speaker 4 (26:37):
Some story right if it was. I'm just curious if
it was family, like in my in my situation, how
would you check rate that?

Speaker 3 (26:45):
I mean, I think that's totally different. And in New
York also brown folks, some brown folks feel that the
N word is also for them. You know, we've seen
I mean, just as a famous example, I think we've
seen Fat Joe, who's Puerto Ricans say the N word
in rhymes. Nobody's gonna say, Joey, you can't say that,

(27:07):
you know, part of black culture. So like, if you
are if you are brown and you are a part
of black culture and you're saying it with an A,
I will rock with you.

Speaker 7 (27:17):
I'm not what about the white man that was raised
by black people?

Speaker 1 (27:21):
Nah?

Speaker 3 (27:21):
He good?

Speaker 1 (27:21):
He got?

Speaker 4 (27:22):
What about about is around?

Speaker 3 (27:29):
Eminem said it, And I don't even want to be
defending him. I'm just explaining what I understand about the
situation that he said it in a rhyme where he
was supposed to be saying the opposite of what he
really believes as a creative test for himself, That's not
something that he released.

Speaker 1 (27:44):
He is.

Speaker 3 (27:44):
I have spent time with him, interviewing him. He is
deeply respectful of black people and the black struggle and
would never say that, and I think white people who
are in and around black spaces and black families understand that. Good.

Speaker 11 (27:56):
You know.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
The thing about it is people do ship.

Speaker 8 (27:59):
We're their most comfortable, and the two places you're most
comfortable is at home and at work because you're there
all the goddamn times. So the thing about it is
to take it back to this Navy fields perspective. This
is their job, this is what they do, This is
where they spend most of their time. So this is
where they're most comfortable. All that racist ship, to Sara's point,
could be jokes simply because they're comfortable. Now, my question

(28:21):
is for the chat, everybody in the chat, y'all letting
this lide or what y'all doing racist jokes at work?

Speaker 4 (28:28):
And I want to get back to meet. I'm happy
you brought it back to nucleus of our topic, which
is the Navy sales, right, because there is ninety five
percent of the Navy sales are white. That means our
brothers are completely underrepresented, completely upper represented. Right of officers. Yeah,
ninety five percent of the sale officers are white. So
this is something I preach about all the time when

(28:49):
it comes to our law enforcement and when it comes
to all employment, since you mentioned it being a job, Dmitry,
where's the culture competence? Because if you are out numbered
and these people don't have common on your culture, nor
do they have competence on your people, and they don't
have family members that look like you, they don't have
neighborhoods that look like you, and you are their first
exposure and experience to someone being black. That is a

(29:10):
huge deficit and can be extremely dangerous for all black
people being in a ninety five percent out of an
environment of all white Navy sales. That's the problem.

Speaker 3 (29:20):
Also, work in environments where there are generally not guns
and people who want to fight, so that person is
subject to the other people around him have access to
weapons and there's plenty of time and a culture where
physical fighting with each other is accepted and perhaps encouraged.
So I feel bad for the brother. He's definitely got

(29:42):
a lot a long road to deal with finding trust
in an environment where people are spreading these sort of things.
Let me move on to the main.

Speaker 2 (29:52):
Top of the harmonsation was fantastic.

Speaker 3 (29:53):
You guys are killing it today, guaranteeing I hope you
guys understand the word saranting. A lot of parents, Black
parents are sharing their life with their children and their
parenting online. Sometimes it's wholesome, but sometimes it's too much.
You know, some of us are on social media sharing

(30:16):
very intimate videos about our kids. Parent influencers are great,
but you can Leo's I just want to roll a
clip of a very uninvolved parent named Kanye Wow wildly
oversharing about his daughter girl not knowing what the fuck

(30:37):
is going on. Our comedians is making fucking jokes and
they don't know that she's syslexing and they got.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
Her in a fucking corner at the school.

Speaker 12 (30:44):
They don't know that she then this is a yay oversharing,
but having problem with her vowel and edgh and motherfucker's
on TV talking.

Speaker 3 (30:54):
Bro gross Sarah. Part of the problem is a lack
of the ability to have informed consent.

Speaker 7 (31:06):
Yeah, I absolutely agree with you when I look at
informed consent.

Speaker 4 (31:11):
So first of all, let's talk about what that is. Right.

Speaker 7 (31:13):
So, it's a process where a healthcare provider like a doctor,
explains a medical procedure or treatment to a patient, allowing
the patient to understand the risks, the benefits, and alternatives
before making a decision. A key component to the consent
is competency, right, the patient or child must be competent
to make the decision, meaning they are capable of understanding

(31:34):
the information and making a reasonable choice. And so for me,
because we live in this attention epidemic where people would
much rather have attention rather than respect. When people are
relying on the likes and the comments and the views
that they get on their videos for peace and happiness
and joy inside of their life, we are absolutely derailing

(31:55):
our children and also setting them up for failure because
now you have little kids that feel like they're not
as as popular if they're not being overshared, not understanding
the detriment that this is causing. When you have videos
of the parents that's with their child at the obg
y N when what's his name was? I don't even
remember which rapper was talking about his daughter and her hymen? Yeah,

(32:19):
why are we Why are we talking about these things
so publicly like it's normal?

Speaker 1 (32:23):
It is.

Speaker 7 (32:24):
It is absolutely a direct disrespect to that person's privacy,
and it's also making it for other little people that
look up to this little person that's the it person,
like that's what they want.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
But they're not enough. It's a lot of issues for me.

Speaker 7 (32:38):
And and there's no way that there's informed consent because
they don't even know what is happening.

Speaker 3 (32:42):
You can't have informed consent from a child at all, right, right,
I mean, I'm really active on TikTok. I love the platform.
If you follow me every once in a while, you'll
see one of my kids if there's a relevant little
joke or way to involve them. But like I'm you know,
I'm not gonna like put them out there a lot.

(33:05):
I don't want to talk about my parenting a lot.
Some people want to overshare about their parenting. There's a
clip that really maybe that they need turned my stomach
roll that clip.

Speaker 11 (33:20):
We beauted up, beauted up? Please you up.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
Grown in these videos? I mean, books are not appropriate.
This is We're gonna get into kid influencers later. But
just like as a parent, Dmitri, when we're oversharing our
children like this, like a whole video just showing her
in different looks. This seems to me to be oversharing.

Speaker 8 (34:00):
You know, for me as a I guess you can
call me a social media dad. I have a five
year old son. His name is logan. Most of my
platform kind of knows who he is. But the thing
about what I share versus what's different than a lot
of other people. I don't give my son's intimates, moment
intimate moments away.

Speaker 1 (34:17):
I don't. I don't.

Speaker 8 (34:18):
I don't deprive him of privacy. I think the thing
about it is that's very important. The other day, just
the other day, I was sharing how I used the
old string around a tooth, close the door, rip the
tooth out thing, And yes, he loved it. It was
his idea, by the way, it's all his idea. He
got up one day and he was like, I want

(34:38):
to rip my tooth out.

Speaker 1 (34:40):
Okay, cool.

Speaker 8 (34:40):
But the thing about it is the tooth fairy came,
puts some money on this pillow.

Speaker 1 (34:43):
He loved it. Those are the moments I'm sharing online.

Speaker 8 (34:46):
And the thing about it is he did the elf
on the shelf, He did this, He did that. You know,
a lot of times I find out that I'm actually
diving into the thought of it. I don't have a partner, right,
there's nobody for me to share my excitement on this
category with interesting.

Speaker 3 (34:59):
The world is living it with me.

Speaker 8 (35:01):
It's a beautiful thing to where people can see the
joy in my son. But when it becomes sharing doctor
doctor information, when it becomes sharing school grades and all
of these other things, you're depriving that child of an
opportunity of privacy.

Speaker 3 (35:15):
Well let me let me show this clip about beating children.
That is supposed to be funny, but this turns my stomach.
I want to see this.

Speaker 1 (35:26):
All y'all don't know who he is.

Speaker 13 (35:32):
Telling daddy, please don't talk.

Speaker 3 (35:34):
A turn around. What is the funny part of this person,
a grown man who is two or three times the
size of these children, threatening with a weapon, promising to
inflict pain on their bodies. What is the funny part, cheyenne,
I don't get the joke.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
I mean, well, it's it's not funny. I also think
it's triggering for people who have experienced abuse as a child.
When you see somebody with a belt standing over three kids,
it looks more like bullying. And for some people who
got whooped with the belt growing up, they look at
it as discipline. Others look at it as abuse, And
for the ones who's deemed it as abused, I think
that is extremely triggering. I also think that it is

(36:16):
a wrong representation of our community and our culture. Do
I think that black folks whoop their kids? Absolutely? I
am definitely not a gentle parenting person. When I have kids,
I'm definitely into whooping ass and discipline, but not to
the level where it's like I'm bullying you and I'm
telling you what the belt standing over you? Asking you
know who did it? And who's going to tell me?

(36:37):
And what does that look like? That wasn't a disciplinary
moment to me. That was more of a father who
was attempting to bully his kids. And I don't know,
I guess show the world that this is what fathering
our daddy looks like.

Speaker 11 (36:51):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (36:51):
There's also a video from an African family. I mean,
like it seems like black parents want to brag about
how they're beating the kids. Oh that video, I don't
even see what the kid is doing wrong?

Speaker 1 (37:07):
What do.

Speaker 3 (37:14):
You do? And I do it too, but I don't
get it. Like, this is not a good representation of parenting.
It is not good parenting to inflict pain on children.
People do not learn when they are in pain. This
books to be just mean and cruel. I don't even

(37:34):
know what the child has done wrong, Dimitri. The question
is why are we sharing videos like this?

Speaker 1 (37:42):
I think the thing about it is the Internet is
a place of relatability. The thing about it is we
all shared common.

Speaker 8 (37:51):
Things in our life that we can relate to. Being
able to relate produces likes and comments. So the moment
you post something what's relatable for you, whether through trauma
or not, people will still post that. Sometimes it's comedy.
So like the first video we saw, that's first off,
that's terrible acting.

Speaker 1 (38:07):
All of them did a terrible job. I would not
hire anything. But the thing about it is.

Speaker 8 (38:10):
That Dad and these people who are recording this said
this will be great content. We have nothing else to showcase.
Ain't shit else going on in our life, so let's relate.
Not saying we beat our kids like everybody else to me,
is fucking idiotic.

Speaker 3 (38:23):
Sarah goh yeah.

Speaker 4 (38:24):
So for me, I look, I know I'm look at y'all.

Speaker 7 (38:28):
If you hate me in the comments, I'm sorry, Okay,
I'm just gonna tell the truth. But the thing for
me is, I think a lot of this gentle parenting
has turned into really soft children of parenting and ethan
softer kids. And I'm not saying that I believe in
whooping a child. But I do believe that so many
parents have gotten lazy inside of their parenting. Like like,
so to Dimitri's point, obviously someone was recording, right, so

(38:50):
someone is recording waiting to watch. It's obviously planned. But
more than that, we have social media that's now raising
our children. Our kids are being raised by YouTube, by
social media platform, their friends, and their schools. So now
it's like people aren't spending any time with their kids.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
Kids don't know how to respect.

Speaker 7 (39:07):
Authority of their parents, and now no parents want to
actually put the fear of God into their children.

Speaker 4 (39:13):
I don't believe and put in the fear of God.

Speaker 7 (39:15):
And you only got to do it one time, so
then you can look at that child and it's like, no,
I know, live my life together because.

Speaker 3 (39:21):
I want to get to doctor you. But that's just
not true from a parent two children. It's not like
you can that Like you can hit somebody once and
then look at them and that's a trauma response. You're saying,
if I beat you well enough, small child, that all
I have you is reference that beating and then you.

Speaker 4 (39:38):
Will Okay, two things, Sarah, if I'm your kid, you
can't whoop me once girl, you have to whoop my
ass because I'm a cook. You might have to work
all the way through to them by eighteen ninety and
then believe the house to write there's a difference between beating, abusing,
and discipline. So I totally that on that. There's a
there's a big difference. Yes, there's a difference. There's a

(39:59):
big difference. I want to get to the oversharing. Okay,
disagreement meeting are two different things. Over sharing, though, is
demonizing and weaponizing the children, and it is also parents
over sexualizing their own kids. What I believe needs to
happen in households or in in blended families where you're
co parenting, because it's very hard to have these rules

(40:19):
of engagements when they're in two different households, and it's
very hard for let's just say Kim to control what
Kanye says, well, Kanye in general, but let's just do
everyone when they're not together they're co parenting. What I
believe needs to happen is there needs to be a
co parent NDA that says these are these are the
non disclosuable agreements that we agree as two parents cannot
be disclosed about our kids, even if I'm not in

(40:42):
the room to set boundaries with you. As a mother,
you cannot have my daughter on social media doing X,
Y and Z. As a father, you cannot put a
video of my daughter at the pediatrician or of our
teenage daughter getting a pat Smarre at the obg y in.
These are the rules of the non disclosure that you
can It's sad that we have to go that far,
but we do because a lot of parents are not

(41:03):
in agreement when it comes to co parenting. And I
don't want to put Dimitri on blasts only. People like
sharing Metri Dimitria co parents as well, and there's a
lot of things that they don't agree on that ends
up impacting his son in ways that are not good.
And I don't want to tell your business, but I'm
just saying I know some of the background. And so again,
this is a direct impact on the child because children

(41:25):
don't have insight. All they're doing is showing up to
the call of action or to the direction that the
parent is giving them, and they don't understand that years later,
this can have a psychological effect on them as far
as impair self esteem, as far as confidence, reduce attention
span and cognitive development. All of that stuff plays a role.
When kids are exposed to things too early on and
really quick from kids not understanding boundaries within themselves, it

(41:49):
can have them grow up to be very a boundary
list and that is very dangerous and riskue for a
young child.

Speaker 3 (41:54):
Dmitri. When you think about oversharing your online you can
assuming parent influencers good and bad. How does that impact
even your approach to parenting? Are you learning anything you
do or don't want to do from the oversharing that
we see?

Speaker 1 (42:12):
You know, it's crazy, and this is one hundred percent fact.

Speaker 8 (42:15):
I've never taken parental advice from me anything going online.

Speaker 1 (42:20):
Ever, I learned from what I seen. I learned from
what I did not see.

Speaker 8 (42:24):
I've never listened to the video of someone saying the
only thing I've ever taken online was fun, fun things
to do with my son. Ever, like I like when
the elf on the shelf shit was happening and they
had all these ideas.

Speaker 4 (42:35):
Cool.

Speaker 8 (42:36):
But I will not allow people, somebody I don't know,
to have that much impact on how I'm raising my
own But.

Speaker 3 (42:42):
I have definitely seen let's say, brothers online who are
parent influencers, and they're showing how patient they were. This
one brother, I like belief in family. It's great brother,
and he's showing how patient he is and he shares
a lot. So you could argue over but I'm like,
you are reminding me to be super patient with the

(43:05):
children and meet them on their time, not on my timeline.
And he's not advising me. But I'm just seeing good
parenting and going yep, yep, I need to take a
right and like, can we not learn something from some
of the share.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
Absolutely, but you don't need that child's medical history to.

Speaker 10 (43:21):
Do something you know.

Speaker 3 (43:22):
Of course, of course, absolutely.

Speaker 8 (43:23):
You can be inspired, and I think that's why I
tend to lean toward that side of parenting myself. I
was told by the people who support me and love
me and look at me. Some young lady told me,
she said, to watch you parents your son in a
relationship you two have is inspiring, and it also makes
me feel as though I can be okay knowing there
are parents out here because my child's father doesn't want

(43:47):
to be active now.

Speaker 3 (43:47):
It was actually the other side of parents over sharing
online is kids who very much want to be online,
perhaps even more than their parents want them to be.
We have kids influencers all over the place, some of
them doing incredibly well.

Speaker 2 (44:05):
Whereas the white ones are doing better than the black ones.

Speaker 1 (44:07):
But here we are.

Speaker 3 (44:08):
Some of them are getting thousands of dollars for a post.
Some of them are getting millions a year. Thirteen year
old Ryan's World thirty million a year. There's also this
beautiful child, Samia Ali. Her parents started her as an
influencer when she was like four. She could not consent
at four, She's gonna be informed about anything, just even

(44:28):
know what's on her plate in front of her, much
less to consent to being part of a video that
will be seen by millions of people. Now she's like ten.
You know, I want to know from you guys, Sarah
you start you have a child who wants to be
on the internet, wants to be making videos. You know,
get ready with me unboxing whatever it might be. The

(44:51):
content she or he wants to make is appropriate. But
are you comfortable with them becoming basically having a job
on the internet as a ten year old person?

Speaker 4 (45:02):
I love that.

Speaker 7 (45:02):
Let's actually take a look at Samia the ten year
old little girl KI influencer first, and then I'd love
to share my response.

Speaker 13 (45:08):
Go back to Samia's life and today I'm gonna be
showing you guys.

Speaker 4 (45:11):
What I got for Christmas.

Speaker 13 (45:13):
The first thing that I got are these Adida sambas.

Speaker 3 (45:16):
I literally love them so much. Look at these beauty like.
I love this so much.

Speaker 7 (45:21):
I love the ground.

Speaker 13 (45:22):
I have the like original white ones, but this is
so cute.

Speaker 3 (45:27):
I knew you would love them.

Speaker 13 (45:28):
Yes, I feel like my mom knows exactly what I love.

Speaker 3 (45:31):
So this is the first thing I got.

Speaker 4 (45:32):
Look at this.

Speaker 13 (45:33):
It's giving tennis girls and it comes to the matching talk.

Speaker 4 (45:37):
Guys.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
I love the purple like lavender, right.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
I love the color.

Speaker 3 (45:41):
My lips are.

Speaker 4 (45:42):
Dry, pilly beaver. If you're watching this, I love you.

Speaker 3 (45:45):
Ohoh oh Sarah.

Speaker 4 (45:48):
Oh Okay.

Speaker 7 (45:50):
So for me, the thing that I am really feeling
when I watch this video and I have to check myself,
is am I addicted to my iPhone?

Speaker 1 (46:00):
Like?

Speaker 4 (46:00):
Sometimes?

Speaker 7 (46:01):
Have you guys ever gone on Instagram look at your notifications,
put your phone down and found yourself five seconds later
or ten seconds later picking up your phone going back
to Instagram after I just close the app and I'm
sure nothing is new. If you guys can relate to that.
Please let me know in the chats if you've ever
done that. And so with kid influencers, if it's addicting
for adults, it's probably even more addicting for the children.

(46:21):
So what I let my child be a child influencer. Absolutely.
I love the idea of let's make money doing what
you love. You found a place.

Speaker 3 (46:30):
Oh, the child is addicted to social media, so it's okay.

Speaker 7 (46:34):
No, no, no, oh, sorry, I didn't mean to say
if she's addicted. I meant to say if she enjoys,
if she adoys it. But I don't want her to
get addicted to it. I don't want her to get
addicted to the dopamine hits. I don't want her to
get because there becomes a chemical imbalance. It can cause depression.
So many different things can happen when we are addicted
to social media.

Speaker 3 (46:52):
And then you when you are comfortable with your child
being a social media figure.

Speaker 7 (46:59):
For sure, To be fair, I don't have children, so
I'm speaking from theory and not experience.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
Dmitri with you let your child be a kid influencer?

Speaker 1 (47:09):
Yes, is no. The thing about it is my child
is extension, is an extension of me.

Speaker 8 (47:14):
So for those who have seen my child. You've seen me, dad,
You have not seen my child. You cannot tell me
things about my child. So the thing about it is this,
I'm okay with my child having influenced through me, but
you cannot be an influencer. My son has his own
brand that stemmed from mind why because I was.

Speaker 1 (47:33):
I was putting on my lost love of Boy hoodie. You know,
make sure y'all grab y'alls.

Speaker 8 (47:36):
I got you, and he said, Dad, I want I
want a hoodie too. I can't fit it. So I said, okay,
I'm gonna come up with something just for you. He
came out with Little Lover Boy. That's his brand, his hoodie.
He every time I get on TikTok Live and he's
with me, be like, let me go put my merch on.
But the thing about it is what social media does
to the mind. I don't think people understand my mama
be under these videos fighting with people in the comment

(47:58):
section because she can't take the negative. So you think
I'm gonna allow a child to have to bring this
on full time. You're a child. You don't have to work.
I fund your life. The two Fairy just gave you
some money, you'll be okay. So for me, it's a no,
it's a hard note.

Speaker 3 (48:12):
Let me hold. Let me show a video of a
very controversial kid influencer situation with Miss Shirley. Roll that clip.

Speaker 14 (48:31):
To see about yourself and your kids. That ain't gotten
mehing to do with me, our apology, do that. Do
whatever you gotta do for your kids. But I do
shit the right way. I do it the right way, y'all.
Motherfucker did everything, but motherfucker died. That's why your ass
millsway is fucked right now. Motherfucker's in boxing me telling myself, well,

(48:53):
we gonna do We gonna write a petition to get
Miss Shirley bad.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
Damn.

Speaker 10 (48:57):
Miss Sharlie got yall in a run like that.

Speaker 14 (49:00):
Miss r Let a normal one person over the whole
internet right now, and it's because of you, motherfuckers.

Speaker 12 (49:06):
Y'all.

Speaker 10 (49:06):
Don one't making y'all doing that for him. I have
a good any babe.

Speaker 3 (49:11):
This is this is the bab I've have the good
inn baby of Miss Shirley, a four year old kid
influencer who you can see dancing sweetly lovely, but she's
very very young, and some people have called CPS shy
to say this seems to be too much for them.

(49:34):
Are you comfortable with this? Are you comfortable with your
future children being kid influencers when they're like four or five,
six years old?

Speaker 4 (49:42):
So, I when I first started being a marriage from
a child therapist, I worked with court order CPS and dcfs,
kids and families. This is not a CPS call. This
can be a strong opinionated you know audience that says, hey,
this young girl is too young to be doing an
OnlyFans dance, cause the only Fans dance makes it where
you have to pop your little butt and do this

(50:04):
little movement. What I let my daughter do that on
National TV? Absolutely not. I would have boundary conversations that says, baby,
when you and mommy doing it in the house, we
can pop and do these things, but there's also still
a way that you do it, and the way that
you do it is in a more of a kid way,
and this is what it looks like. But let me
go further, because this is a parenting issue. If I'm
doing my only Fans dance with little Cheyenne, who's watching

(50:26):
her mama, who every little girl wants to be like
her mom, a little boy like their daddy, and I'm
popping it and dropping it like it's hot, and this
is how she's learning how to do her dances and
how to be, you know, a fancy pantsing. Then I
have to look at myself and say what am I
exposing my baby to? And then secondary I have to say, well, baby,
this is the way that you do it, even if
you see someone else doing it. It goes back to

(50:47):
what Sarah said about the gentle parenting thing and parents
just being lazy as fuck, because parents are no longer
having conversations with their kids to explain to them boundaries
or to take the initiative to have awardness are what
they are, awareness of what they are doing themselves, that
their children are exposed to, and that they're observing. Because
learn behavior is real and kids learn how. Little girls

(51:10):
learn how to be little girls and little boys learn
how to be little boys, or they learn how to
be respectful adolescents and adults two different experiences.

Speaker 3 (51:18):
I keep hearing the generalizations about parents are lazy, and.

Speaker 4 (51:26):
All right, we did not. I did not. I don't
know what Sarah dad. I didn't generalize. What I said
was this is a parenting issue when parents are lazy
and don't have very much needed conversations with their kids,
because kids need to be taught not just through optics,
which is learned behavior, but also through words and explanation
of why things need to be this way? What are
the risk in doing things like this? So parents, listen.

(51:48):
Kids are not parenting themselves, and if they are, there's
a bigger fucking issue. Parents are there to parent, to guide,
and to teach. If you don't have the time to
do so, you got to find a way too. You
shouldn't have became a parent, because parenting is one of
the biggest investments you will make besides yourself.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
Surely was on Jennifer Hudson's show, and she's twirking at
four years old, and the audience is going nuts and
applauding loudly and all into her. And beyond that, others,
some in good faith, some in bad faith. Right, some

(52:28):
of them might have been magas trying to mess up
a black woman's paper, but some of them may have
generally believed this is not right, and so they're and
this and this is the the mother sister's response. Roll
that clip again.

Speaker 14 (52:47):
To see about your step and your keys. Then I
gotten in to do with me. I aproag you do that,
do whatever you gotta do for your keys, but I do.

Speaker 10 (52:56):
Shit the right way. I do it the right way, y'all.

Speaker 14 (53:00):
Motherfucker did everything, but motherfucker died there while your ass
millsboy is fucked right now. Motherfuckers in boxing me telling
my fuck well, we gonna do We gonna write a
petition to get Miss Fairley bad damn Miss Trayli got
all in a run like that, Miss trel Liner norumber
one person over the whole internet right now, and it's
because of you, motherfucker.

Speaker 11 (53:21):
Y'all.

Speaker 10 (53:21):
Don't wan't making y'all doing that for her.

Speaker 3 (53:24):
Miss Shirley.

Speaker 10 (53:25):
I have a good any babe.

Speaker 3 (53:27):
This This child is beautiful, hute, and I enjoy watching
her dance. Here's my issue with this level of kid influencer.
She has a job that means you have to show
up for other people when they want you to. You
may not want to do it. You may ask to

(53:47):
make compromises for the betterment of the job so we
make more profit. You may be asked to interact with
adults at times you don't really want to.

Speaker 4 (54:00):
You because people who makes the decision for this four
or five year old. This is why this has nothing
to do with this baby girl. She's beautiful, she's doing
her thing, she has personality out this world, and she's talented. Obviously,
this is a parenting issue. Who do you think makes
decisions for who this child is going to serve work
for and the workforce load.

Speaker 3 (54:19):
Of this kid.

Speaker 4 (54:20):
This baby girl's not waking up going I'm going to
sign my contract and I'm going to work today and
go on Jay Hud and I'm going to go on
this show. That's not what she's doing. This is a
parenting issue. Parents are there to put hedges called protection
around their kids as to what is appropriate and also
based on their child and knowing what their child can handle.

Speaker 3 (54:38):
There go thank you.

Speaker 7 (54:40):
Okay, So I just have to say this more than
a parenting issue, it's a societal issue. And this is
what I mean by that. I grew up my entire
life dancing jazz, tap, ballet, all the things. And my
favorite part of my dance routine and competition was when
we were doing what's called isolations, right we pop, lock
and drop it, and I felt so cool as a yes, absolutely.

Speaker 3 (55:01):
Let me show me something, show me.

Speaker 4 (55:05):
I'm too all now, okay.

Speaker 3 (55:06):
Let me show me. It never believes. Come on, I
don't believe, verify. I need to see something.

Speaker 7 (55:11):
But I mean that to say that the problem is
that we have been dancing and having fun our entire lives.
But why is it that little black girls are over sexualized?
That's why I'm saying that this is a societal issue
because parents are just letting their little girls have fun. Now,
if you're in the like, if you're on all fours,
pop you know do that's if you're on the wall,

(55:33):
that's a completely different story. But if you're just having
some fun and you throw your hips out there while
you're having fun, why is it that that's now looked
at as now this is bad parenting, isn't it?

Speaker 8 (55:43):
Is it not?

Speaker 3 (55:43):
Allara girl is too adult? This outfit is too adult?

Speaker 7 (55:49):
Need to see the outfit video full life it is.

Speaker 8 (55:54):
There is a time and a place child should always
be allowed to be a child about it is this
specific topic we're referring to is your ability to exploit
your child for monetary gain. This all this is and
all that I'm hearing when I'm asked this question is
how far will you go to show off your son

(56:14):
to make money. There is no point I will set
up a social media page or TikTok.

Speaker 3 (56:21):
Let's not go a buse sight of the fact that
some of these kids want this. There are kid influencers
who want to do this more and there are and
shys right, there are parents pushing the kids too much.
We talked about that. I'm trying to get into.

Speaker 4 (56:38):
You to us not have enough insight to want anything.
You are four or five under my roof, under my roofs,
under my parenting, under my social economics. You don't have
to want nothing. You are gonna want to do the
things that are within your best interest based on the
parent that you have, the two parents that you have kids.
Is the problem with parents letting kids at four or

(57:01):
five want things when they're not They don't have the
insight to know what they want.

Speaker 7 (57:05):
And so let me challenge that just a little bit,
because I hear what you're saying. But a lot of
these parents would never have access to this level of income.
That would never happen, and so is it a level
of exploitation yet? Like how will will Smith back in
the day when Willow was a singer, and Willow said daddy,
I don't want to do it anymore. And will Smith
had to realize, oh my god, I'm exploiting my child.

(57:26):
It was fun for her while it was fun, and then.

Speaker 4 (57:28):
I turned it into a job. Right.

Speaker 7 (57:30):
So if it's as long as this child is having
fun and they're making an income and they're not being
overly sexualized, because that is very important. But because we've
got to look at kids like Blue Ivy. Blue Ivy
is thirteen years old. This little girl is already a multimillionaire.

Speaker 3 (57:48):
Finish.

Speaker 7 (57:49):
What I'm saying is and what I'm saying is Blue
Ivy on that stage from the first time she went
on tour to where she is now, you can tell
that she's at a way higher work ethics.

Speaker 4 (57:57):
She loves what she does, She takes prideing with you does.

Speaker 8 (58:00):
No, no, no, no, you can't even look at Blue Ivy.
Blue Ivy was set for life before she was born.

Speaker 1 (58:06):
You can't look at Blue Ivy. You have these people
these days who have no money of their own.

Speaker 8 (58:11):
They're taking that money that their kids are making it
and spending on their goddamn self.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
Hold hold hold, hold hold on, hold hold hold, hold,
hold hold on. Let me as a person who did
a lot of work in television commercials as a child.
There are Jackie Coogan laws. Jackie Coogan was the first
big child star in the twentieth century, back in like
the twenties or thirties, and they made laws where parents
can only take so much of the child's income. So

(58:38):
a lot of these children who are making money are
making money for themselves. And if you have a child
who aspires to be in the performing arts, wants to
be on stage, wants to sing or dance or be
an actor, this can be a way of feeding what
the child wants and shy and I fully understand you
live under my roof, but that also feels to me

(58:59):
like an old school mindset. That's how That's how my
parents were. But our vibe is more like, how can
we serve what you dream?

Speaker 4 (59:11):
Hold on? Let me crack you. First of all, your
vibe is that minds isn't. Don't couple us. We don't
coexist when it comes to our pain about this. Second
of all, you're correct, I am very traditional on old school.
I got my ass with and I had rules to follow,
and I have boundaries, and I tend to be every
statistic and I made it out really fucking good. So
I'm proud of the parenting that's called traditional parenting where

(59:31):
you have disciplines, you have in Sarah's word, accountability, and
there's rules of regulations of parents who have wisdom beyond
yours that can teach you things we know and you
don't know. So if you believe that kids have enough
wisdom to parent you, then you keep that option because
torey wisdom is needed to make good decisions. You have

(59:54):
kids out here who are aded lessons, who are parenting
themselves and raising their younger siblings. It's not parenting. And
let me go to the law you talked about. If
you are that naive to think that parents are following
a law that says, well, my kids make money, because
I know what you're talking about. I was a kid.
I was a kid talent kid goes into a bank
account and that these parents don't have access to their money.

(01:00:15):
You are really willing out and being very naive parents
money all the time to all the time. You know.

Speaker 3 (01:00:23):
I mean, I think the notion that see I mean,
as a parent.

Speaker 4 (01:00:27):
Look at a look at this image.

Speaker 3 (01:00:29):
That's a parent. That's a good weapon. Some else, look
that sometimes that children come to you and say I
want this.

Speaker 4 (01:00:39):
Look at that picture? Is that okay for a kid
to do this?

Speaker 3 (01:00:42):
That kid wants to understand that something parent decision. I
understand that sometimes children come to you and say I
want to do this, And when that happens, it is
the parent's job to say, how can we give you
what you want? How can we be there for you.

Speaker 4 (01:01:02):
They want to do? Is you don't let your kids say, Daddy,
I'm sixteen and I want to go have unprotected textus
says how can I help you do that? Parents, you
only help your kids do things that you know are
going to be for the best interest for Ray.

Speaker 3 (01:01:16):
I don't think that being on television or being in
a movie is in Sarah is inherently bad for them.
Don't know what it is job is inherently bad for them,
but what it is allowing them to fulfill what they want.
If what they want is to be part of the
performing arts, and thus we're putting them out there as
a twelve or fourteen year old on the stage. I

(01:01:36):
am a parent who wants to be in service of
what these kids want. I do not tell them what
to do. We're like, what do you want to do,
and how can we make that happens. That's what I.

Speaker 4 (01:01:49):
Agree with. The things that they want to do again,
that's in alignment with the betterment for their health, their
mental health, and the things that won't deteriorate them. That's
all I'm saying.

Speaker 8 (01:01:57):
In that case, you put them in a dance class
or a singing class for X y Z. You do
not have to exploit them on the internet. The thing
about it is, my son came to me and he said, Daddy,
I want what Ryan got in this video. I don't
know if y'all familiar with little Ryan, but he got
a YouTube, super successful, making a fuck ton of money. Right, Yes, okay, baby,
you want what Writing got this video? But all of

(01:02:17):
them are tax writers for his parents. You don't understand
that all of those things you see right there, he
can't even enjoy because he got to get up for
his weekly shooting schedule.

Speaker 1 (01:02:26):
You don't even want to get up a school kid.
So for me to give you this you want in.

Speaker 8 (01:02:31):
Life, maybe all I can do is allow you to
be a kid and give you that you get.

Speaker 3 (01:02:35):
You do have to deal with a lot of criticism
from the internet from other people, Uh, Beyonce talked about
that a lot. Actually talk about Blue Ivy in the
Renaissance Tour movie, which actual Beehive people saw. If you
didn't see it, you're not really Beehive hours. You gotta
make commitment, but I'm that sort of committed to the Beehive.

(01:02:56):
But she talked about Blue Ivy came to her and said,
I want to perform on the stage with you, and
she was like no, And then she asked like twenty
more times and finally she said yes. And when they
were about to go out for the first time and
she saw that she was nervous, she'd Beyonce said, I
am a horrible parent. How can I put the child
in this situation that you be nervous when she was
going on stage, because she's saying, I am putting you

(01:03:19):
in an adult situation. Now, obviously it worked out for
them and it's moving forward. But like it is a trick.
It is a tricky thing when we put the kids
in adult situations. But if we give them a chance
to strine and thrive, they can learn and become the
performance they dream of being. Sarah, now I also just
say yes.

Speaker 7 (01:03:38):
So also on top of that, you know, everybody's like,
it's like work.

Speaker 4 (01:03:41):
What do you think school is?

Speaker 7 (01:03:42):
You don't get paid for school, and you don't even implement.

Speaker 3 (01:03:45):
Who structured to be for the children.

Speaker 7 (01:03:48):
Why not have a structure inside of what you love doing.
That's what I'm saying a lot of people. Everything is
convenient until until we look at it a little bit different.

Speaker 4 (01:03:57):
Right.

Speaker 7 (01:03:58):
The truth is, if kids are waking up every single
morning and we go to school from eight am until
three point thirty. Right, if we know that this is
what school is, why not have a shooting schedule.

Speaker 4 (01:04:07):
They do this Monday through Friday.

Speaker 3 (01:04:10):
In school. The kids need to be in school, y'all.

Speaker 7 (01:04:12):
Let me give them a point out.

Speaker 1 (01:04:15):
You need to have a child to make this.

Speaker 4 (01:04:18):
Listen, listen, Dmitri.

Speaker 7 (01:04:19):
This is the point we go to school from from
K to eight or for you know, all the things
we do K to eight, nine to twelve.

Speaker 3 (01:04:26):
In America we go twelve years. But it's fine, perfect.

Speaker 7 (01:04:28):
So when you go to school Monday through Friday, you
go for X amount of hours every single day. Right,
what if you're actually implementing learning about taxes, learning about
financial literacy, learning how to have a job, being entrepreneurial.

Speaker 4 (01:04:43):
And that's passionately what you love?

Speaker 3 (01:04:45):
Is that wrong?

Speaker 7 (01:04:46):
As long as you have a tutor that's going to
teach you the same things they teach you in.

Speaker 3 (01:04:49):
School, that are we doing that? Because we're giving the
child an adult level of responsibility. You have a job
and there's a I think excutive and a budget that
when we need you to I think, but.

Speaker 4 (01:05:07):
I think the working part of the child is not wrong.
I think the exploiting them part is what's wrong. And
then not be doing in the checkings. That says, baby,
you know, and this is why I hear you what
you say in a little bittory. I think letting them
be free in in in being able to process who
they are, getting a sense of self and doing the
things that they like right so they can create their
own identity. I hear that. But then let's do let's

(01:05:28):
let's blend it. Let's do some mental health checkings. That says, baby,
how are you feeling about what you're doing? Are you exhausted?
Are there any things you want to do that's kid like?
Do you want anytime you want to take the day off?
Mommy and Daddy, we support you, you don't have to
do it, and we want you to know that the
things that are good for you, we want to do
anything we can to support it. But when it gets tough, baby,

(01:05:49):
you can tap out, you can talk to us. You
don't have to be in this as though you're an adult.
Like it's a huge responsibility.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
If you are a child on a television show or
on a movie, you know, think about Cosby Show, think
about Full House, et cetera. It's at and they try
to use twins so that it's less hard on one child,
But sometimes you get into a situation where you can't
you can't take a break because we have a shooting schedule.

(01:06:17):
We need you and you got to go and we
can't be And I love the idea of structuring it
with the freedom that you're talking about, But Sarah, you
can't always do that. Tore.

Speaker 8 (01:06:29):
Imagine Imagine not being able to pay your rent because
your child ain't make that TikTok video.

Speaker 1 (01:06:33):
You wanted them to make. Imagine Imagine that.

Speaker 3 (01:06:38):
But also because my child, my younger child who y'all
met this morning, came to me a few years ago
and said, I want to be an actor and I
want to go to performing our high school and I
said Okay, let's work on an argument that might work
on your mom, because your mom is probably gonna say no,
but I'm trying to work with you in service of

(01:06:59):
what you want. Now she changed her mind and we
all moved on. But when she said this is what
I want to be a performer and to be on stage,
I said, what can I do to make that happen?
And that's what I want us to be as parents, Like,
how can I be in search? Want to be a
kid influencer? I will help you. I will also put
the proper guardrails on it so you're not working too much, but.

Speaker 4 (01:07:22):
And so that you're not exploited. And as a parent,
we have eyes and optics they don't have. Baby, we
want you to do what you want, but we also
are here to protect you and put headges around you
that you don't know you need. That's what parents are
there for. Their not to have a dictatorship with their kids,
but they're definitely there to protect them and let them
know the risks that come with what they're doing. Baby,
you take on this this this TV show, You're gonna

(01:07:42):
be working money through Friday, eight hours a day. I
want you to know what that looks like and if
you commit to this, baby, listen, you gotta be committed
to what you're committed to. Are we doing this or not?
But you got to let them know the ramifications because again,
children still deserve to be kids even if they're working.
These people are still five or six, seven years old.

Speaker 3 (01:08:00):
I want to deepen this just a little bit, just
to look at Miss Shirley's mom and how she is
in this video and how she's balancing Ma mager, Judy.

Speaker 2 (01:08:13):
I love the word ma manger.

Speaker 3 (01:08:14):
There's so many right right. It's a good thing in
the day. But let's let's run the video to.

Speaker 10 (01:08:21):
See about yourself and your kids.

Speaker 14 (01:08:23):
That ain't gotten mehing to do with me. I apology,
do that. Do whatever you gotta do for your kids.
But I do shit the right way. I do it
the right way, y'all. Motherfucker did everything. My motherfucker died
that while your ass millsway is fucked right now. Motherfucker's
in box and me talking myself, Well, we gonna do.

(01:08:43):
We gonna write a petition to get miss Shrairley bad.
Damn Miss Trayley. Got y'all in the run like that.
Miss Trela letting the number one person over over the
whole internet right now, and it's because of you motherfuckers.

Speaker 12 (01:08:55):
Y'all.

Speaker 10 (01:08:55):
Don one't making y'all doing that for her.

Speaker 8 (01:09:00):
The thing about it is, when I look at this
video like this, I see the frustration of what happens
when you are broadcast yourself to social media.

Speaker 1 (01:09:09):
She can't deal with it. And the thing about it
is the attention is on her child.

Speaker 8 (01:09:12):
So one day, when she's not there to take the
heat of the fire, the child will have to.

Speaker 1 (01:09:18):
That's my biggest problem.

Speaker 8 (01:09:20):
And I'm not forcing my child to be in that
ho monetary game.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
It's just not for me. She's saying she do it
the right way, baby, I don't think so.

Speaker 8 (01:09:27):
I don't know about the rest of the world, but
in a common section, let me know if you agree
with me, Please.

Speaker 3 (01:09:31):
Sarah, what if you a situation where your child is
paid because some of these kid influencers are paid to
sit on an adult's lap. You're comfortable with that?

Speaker 4 (01:09:44):
Arry Goleman, Like, what's that meaning?

Speaker 10 (01:09:46):
Whoa whoa?

Speaker 11 (01:09:46):
Whoa? Whoa?

Speaker 4 (01:09:47):
You mean like a stranger? Like go sit on a on.

Speaker 3 (01:09:50):
A You are a mysterily you are famous, which means
thousands and thousands of people know who you are. You
don't know them, so they are strangers to you. They
are not. You are not a stranger to them. You
go to an event and people can take a photograph
with you, but that includes five minutes or one minute
of them talking to you, maybe holding your hand, maybe
hugging you, maybe you sitting on then your child sitting

(01:10:12):
on their lap. In a way five or ten dollars.

Speaker 7 (01:10:16):
Because I am Mama Bear or I am Grizzly Bear,
and y'all let me know in these comments if you agree.

Speaker 4 (01:10:20):
But I really know, Sarah, the chat is fired up,
just so you know. They are off in the chat
right now.

Speaker 7 (01:10:26):
It's no way on God's green earth I'm going to
allow because you could sit right beside her and take
a picture.

Speaker 4 (01:10:33):
No no, no, no, no no no.

Speaker 3 (01:10:34):
This is this is how we got people look because.

Speaker 7 (01:10:38):
With her that knows business, this is what I'm and
I'm going to put it in her contract, by the way,
because no.

Speaker 3 (01:10:43):
No, no, no no no no no you can't you can't
no no, you can't negotiate out of this. This is
the deal that people will wait for her to sit
on your lap. You aren't their lap? Are you okay
with that or not?

Speaker 1 (01:10:54):
No?

Speaker 4 (01:10:55):
No.

Speaker 7 (01:10:56):
The reason why is because little black girls are over set, rulized.

Speaker 4 (01:11:00):
Little black girls are seen as objects. We're not seen
as little girls.

Speaker 7 (01:11:05):
So I want to say, you know, look to my givers.

Speaker 4 (01:11:08):
Okay, to my givers.

Speaker 7 (01:11:09):
Right now, I need to know, do I sound like
a crazy lady or are y'all with me? Because for
certain now I need to know, like real talk if
if if there that's just an opportunity for predators now too,
to pose as a fan.

Speaker 3 (01:11:24):
Oh for your sud, Look at this, brother, real life.
This is not a good idea.

Speaker 1 (01:11:31):
Listen.

Speaker 4 (01:11:33):
Different from doing what you love.

Speaker 1 (01:11:35):
I've been saying it the whole time. The job is
the job.

Speaker 8 (01:11:37):
When you give them a job, you can't say what
you're gonna do and what you're not gonna do the job.

Speaker 4 (01:11:42):
This is This is why parenting is important, because the
parents are responsible for reading the job description and the
contract and saying what you're gonna choose and what you're not.
I would let my daughter sit on a woman's lap,
I'm just gonna be honest. I would not let my
daughter sit on me boy or man's lap. If it's
a woman and they're engaging and doing their thing. I

(01:12:04):
would I wouldn't let my son, Probably it's gonna sound crazy,
probably sit on anybody's lap, male or female. That's just
how I feel about you know what. Be honest, I
think I'm probably self projecting how I was raised. My
father had one rule for me as a young girl.
You don't sit on anybody's lap. I don't care if
it's an uncle, a cousin, if it's not daddy, you don't.

(01:12:25):
And I remember one time as a younger, I probably
was five or six, I sat on my uncle's lap,
which was a good friend of his. But he said
to me. He looked at me and he said to me,
he said, baby. In front of my uncle, he said, baby,
you know damn well you're not supposed to be on
his lap. And he told his boy, listen, although you uncle,
I better ever let me see you allow my dard
to ever sit on your lap. That shit does not
pop in this house. So my dad was not playing

(01:12:45):
about it. And what it did tore It covered me
and it protected me, and it also taught me as
a woman now that there are boundaries that I have
with men and men have with me. And so, of
course I'm not a boy. I can't talk from that.
But as a woman, it taught me because I was
a very affectionate, loving young girl. Dimitri knows I'm very
affectionate and touching now as a woman, and I had
to learn don't do that. But I had to follow

(01:13:07):
that said, baby, you're loving, but you gotta learn who
you can love like that, because everyone is not taking
your love as something innocent. Some people really pray on you.
And that's what I meant by saying parenting is about conversations.
He didn't just say get off the lap. He explained
to me that you run the risk of being exposed
to predatory that's a predatory risk. Privacy and safety risks

(01:13:29):
are important, and I think before we think of money,
we have to think of our babies and our kids.
There's a lot of sexual abuse going on. We know
that there's women who are being sexy abused as adults,
imagine young kids. We even have gymnasts that are have
sued there at usc not to get off, not to
get off with their trainer. Right as these young college
girls who was fondeling and sex abusing.

Speaker 3 (01:13:49):
Every one of these youngals.

Speaker 4 (01:13:50):
Parents have to be able to parent and be all
in your kids business. I'm gonna be so and their business.
Torey's gonna think Uncle Torrey is gonna be like, stop,
please fall back. Fuck that, I'm falling forward.

Speaker 3 (01:14:01):
These are my bodies. I want you to be fully
and deeply in helicoptery, involved in your children's lives. I
also want you to be a servant to your children,
and they will never be disrespectful. Right. But like, the
job to me is how can we make your dreams

(01:14:23):
come true?

Speaker 4 (01:14:25):
Just make a deal, Uncle tore when my babies come,
let's have un to You be that part of it,
and I'm gonna be to Mama bear, so you give
the balance. I'll say, Terre gonna be the one that
serves you and helps you get what you want. But
Mama gonna make the last decision when I tell you
that's what the hell we mat.

Speaker 3 (01:14:40):
I mean, you know the protector you're talking about is
absolutely a part of it. I will walk with you
and protect you. But like I want to listen to
you and find out what you want. I mean, look
when my child came to me and said I want
to wear a skirt out in public. I was like,
how can I make this okay for you? How can

(01:15:01):
I make this work for you? It doesn't even matter
what do I think is irrelevant?

Speaker 1 (01:15:05):
Right?

Speaker 3 (01:15:06):
What can we do for you? How can we make
this comfortable? How do we talk to the school or
whoever to make sure that you can do what you
want to do? And that, to me is what parenting
is about. And I understand if you want to be
a kid influencer and on the stage, I want to
help you do that. I want to put the proper
guardrails so that your mind and your spirit and your

(01:15:27):
money are protected from me and from others. I will
be the dadager who protects you, the daddy bear, but
also like I am here to help my god. I
spent a whole long weekend at a volleyball tournament three
weeks ago.

Speaker 4 (01:15:43):
Oh, we don't want to even get on that.

Speaker 3 (01:15:49):
Ten volleyball matches in a row. I mean, like, it's
an amazing community, you know, I don't even care.

Speaker 4 (01:15:57):
What thedorce that those girls where I had a whole
argument with my best friend about my niece. I said,
she's wearing those shorts. She's like, Cheyenne, this is what
no and she's like fifteen. I'm like the shorts. Now
you want to talk about triggered. Oh I was triggered.

Speaker 3 (01:16:11):
I said, oh, you're triggered. But oh lord, I understand
that you're triggered. I as the dad, I make no
comment on such things. I just transport and support. It's
an extreme. This specific volleyball situation is an extremely woman
or girl female situation. Like eighty percent of the people

(01:16:34):
in the space are female, right, and everybody is bending
over backwards to like, you know, help them and be
there for them. So I'm like, I'm not at all
thinking like this is about sexual this is like that's all.

Speaker 4 (01:16:44):
Right, listen, I want we got to wrap up. I want,
I want because the chat is going crazy right now.
I want you to keep coming in the chat. Let
us know your thoughts. What is your parenting style?

Speaker 3 (01:16:53):

Speaker 4 (01:16:53):

the doctor Bryant kind of like you're gonna do what
hell I tell you're about to do. I'm mama, what
do you think? We want? We want y'all to keep
keep going off in the chat, and we see y'all,
y'all they're on fire right now.

Speaker 3 (01:17:05):

a lot about Shai's father, we know like we're getting
into a deep spiritual place like as a community, like
the four of us, because that's what you're like, really
in your bag, Sherry. We hear about like Aunt Marge,
