Ready to talk
Ready to talk
Hopefully everybody is ready to listen
Because we definitely came to talk
That's the business that's the business
That's the content creation that's talk
Again
Picking up from last week's conversation
It was basically
A situation of just basically speaking

(01:14):
On different ways especially for Blacks
Black people to be heard
To
I mean there's a lot of lanes for us to get into
But one of those lanes a lot of us
Do not choose to get into one is due to
As I say government roles especially
Seats and
Seats in the council and all that stuff like that
I mean it's a lot of us it's a lot of things
That we can do to help

(01:36):
Because a lot of us have the
Knowledge especially
As I call it
The hood mentality
I hate to say it that way but the hood mentality
Especially those that are coming out of the hood
Can help
A lot
A whole lot
Fix a lot of the problems that
We miss out on

(01:58):
Some miss out on that they
Don't know about it because they didn't live through it
They didn't go through they don't understand
They didn't understand that struggle so that struggle has to be
You know can be spoken
Up on and at least something
Give some advice to help it
Fix it as I always say what's the use
Of talking about something if you can't come up with a solution
You know if you
Ain't gonna speak on it and speak on it with knowledge

(02:20):
And power like I mean how can we
Fix it you know so
One of the people I was speaking on last week
Was Harvey B. Gantt him being the
First black
Mayor in
Charlotte now I'm gonna move on and keep
Moving with the whole situation of a
Mayor again so
I gave you the first black male now
Let me give you the first black female

(02:42):
Mayor
Of Charlotte North Carolina
Her name is V. Liles
A lot of us have heard her name
Many times on Power 98
You know you just Mayor
V. Liles Mayor V. Liles
She put herself on
A former she's a former employee
For
The city of Charlotte V. Liles

(03:04):
Was elected as Charlotte's
First black female Mayor
In 2017
After having served as a city council woman
For four years now here's
That situation of being on the council again
You get what I'm saying right right right
Get on the council right
She look she's working in the city of Charlotte already
She already understands what's going on right
And here's this regular person

(03:26):
Comes in
And does what she's supposed to do
Does it right
Understands
It's
I mean what
What can hurt her? So I can use that same
Mentality for Statesville city council
That's how I hope you said it
Thank you
Hey yeah

(03:48):
You said it I was waiting to get to this thing
Statesville city council yeah
I'm going to be talking to some
People after this
Look it up
I know one of the
City council
Right now
Miss Watson
Very interested in Miss Watson
I really want to talk to you

(04:10):
Talk about some issues you know
Like your boy
That we met through your cousin
I can't remember his name
But how he said he used to go
Down and talk and get in front
Of the council boards
And you know speak to it speak to it
You'll be one of those people sitting up there in one of them
Seats you get what I'm saying
That would be dope bro

(04:32):
The way you feel
And those people that come in
Like you you can hear them
And you can really push it
That's what I need too
Because I think I got that mentality
You know I got that voice like
You say you talk you speak up
You're not like a
You're not putting yourself
You're not doing this for no

(04:54):
Reason it really affects you
It helps you learn
It helps you be in front of cameras
It helps you be in the spotlight
It helps you do all of that stuff
That wouldn't be the strain
The strain would be pushing the agendas
That need to be pushed
Let me keep reading
That
Yeah

(05:16):
Councilwoman for four years
Since then she's led the city through
Times both trying and
Triumphant
That includes strengthening the city's connection
With the corporate community
To create more jobs
Helping coordinate citywide response
To the coronavirus
And most recently
Signing a proclamation

(05:38):
Declaring racism a public health
Crisis
Look at that
See what I'm saying
The city of Charlotte needs it
The city of Statesville needs it
Concord needs it
Lake Norman needs it
All of these
So when is all this going to affect
All of this

(06:00):
What she's done
Is it in effect now?
All of this stuff
Is solid
Because she dealt with a lot
Situation when the coronavirus came
And the city
So how does
Her law affect it?
Which means a public health crisis
A public health crisis

(06:22):
Because
I'm saying what does it help
What does it do actually
But what I feel especially with the
Case of
How black people
Can't get certain
Health
Coverages
Things remember Trump took away
Obamacare

(06:44):
All that stuff went out the window
That's what she
That part right there where a lot of
Black folk who don't have insurance
But see look
This is the thing I know you're reading
But I never had an issue with
Black people getting help
Black people getting help
My issue was
Certain

(07:06):
Blacks got left out
Middle class I say
You're making too much
You don't have kids
The kids don't live with you
You know what I'm saying
You work so it's like
We don't deserve help either even though
We're barely making it and we're working
You get what I'm saying so I wanted
Some laws that would help those

(07:28):
Like me and I'm in that category
Like you know people that
Need help too but work also
Get up and make a living and go out and get it
Let me tell you what I think Trump is
The biggest problem this is the biggest
Thing
This is the hardest thing
We get left out man
I'm going to say you feel that
There's this thing of like

(07:50):
They're left out but I don't think it is the case
I'm going to tell you why
They feel that the average
They go off of the case
Of the average
Living situation right
So the average
The average individual
Is only going to make somewhere
Along the lines of about 30
To about $50,000 a year right

(08:12):
So
Depends on where you at right
The average person
Really can live
Off of $35,000
A year
Can I cut in? Yeah
So if a person
You just said a person can do that
So they will make laws

(08:34):
For example for people that don't make that
Are you know qualified
For these assistance
Might handicap people
That can do it
Not to go out there and actually do it
You know what I'm saying
So they like I'm not going to get a job so I can get this
Assistance I'm going to have all these kids
And I work so I can get this
Assistance so I qualify

(08:56):
Whatever you just below the guidelines
So you can qualify
So that's where it's hurting
You get what I'm saying it's hurting
You kind of like the system is kind of like being
Used in because I don't think
They look at it like that
The city councils
They just look at it like helping people
But in the same breath
You could be hurting people

(09:18):
Hurt them with their work ethic
Hurt them with their integrity
Hurt them with oh I can actually get up and get a job
But I'm not going to do it I'm just going to
Rely on handouts
You know what I'm saying
So that's why I like what about
The people that's actually out here trying
Maybe they need to focus more on them
People that's very
Has integrity that gets up

(09:40):
And go to work and trying
To be something in life
Trying to become something trying to
Be better you know what I'm saying
That's what I was saying
And that's again
The opinion that you feel on that
That's totally fun
And I could argue that see
That's totally fun
For me I feel

(10:02):
That
But I get what you saying I feel
That those who need help
Genuinely go out to help
There are some
Who really genuinely need it
But then yeah there are some
Who ride the system
And I'm going to get to this
Is this right
Because I see you speak on this a lot

(10:24):
It's okay for somebody
To ride the system let me tell you why
Because they won't go nowhere
Say it again
You won't go anywhere
If you want to do better
You can do better
It's up to the individual
Even if a
Person chooses to go have 8 kids

(10:46):
But think about
The people they're hurting though
By doing this like
The households the families they are
Affecting see that's
We don't look at it like that when one
Person does something
That can affect a lot of people we don't think about
How it affects the child's father
Or the mother or the kids
Or yeah the first thing the kids

(11:08):
We don't think about that
We think about this individual
That irresponsibly went out
And had these kids and can't take care
Of them and we want to get them
Help we're thinking about them but what about
The other people that's affected by their
Decision making
I get what you're saying
I'm going to say it
One more time it's totally

(11:30):
Fine for people to live
That way if the government
Sees that it's okay for them to live that way
Guess what we're going to have
To deal with
I mean I got you
I get you
I get what you're saying though
You're speaking your point
I hear your point that people
Of the middle class need help too

(11:52):
People that are
I'm including you too
I hear you
I'm including you too
In the case of
The reason why I say that
One is due to
The way that they created the laws
The reason why I say they created certain laws
Her law is totally different meaning
They showing

(12:14):
She's showing compassion for the whole situation
Of black people and the black housing
Everybody is affected by this
From highest to the lowest
And I love that
That we're looked at a certain way
To
We're not getting certain helps that we need
Due to us being
That's what I like
Due to the coronavirus

(12:36):
A lot of black people died
Just because they couldn't afford it
I know I had
Corona relief
You could be out of work
I caught covid was out two weeks
I got paid
It was a thing under corona specifically
Because it was a situation that was needed
It was actually needed
It was a nationwide

(12:58):
Worldwide
And that was a huge situation
So they had to pay it attention
They had to give it a certain
Because I could have lost a lot of money around that time
Everybody was bad off
I got paid, thank god
Everybody was in a bad situation
Because you think about it
Even if you couldn't work
Your job got shut down

(13:20):
There was a lot of that happening in
The world, the world closed out
And they couldn't do
No work at all
But then, like I said
Those situations where we can
Change those things though
We had those seats
We can go sit in these seats
We can speak our piece
If it happens, it happens

(13:42):
If it doesn't, it doesn't
But at the end of the day, you got to know
You got a chance to say it and speak it
Corona made the people lazy
I'm more than help
I know I got a little lazy
But I still got my behind up and went to work
It took me a while
To get back into the groove
Because I was so used to
We had time to think

(14:04):
We had time to actually
Collect our thoughts
And really face our issues
Around that time too
Because when you're moving
You kind of forget
Life and what you're dealing with
I know that's all topic
Oh, it's not all topic
You're speaking good
The good thing about all of this man

(14:26):
Is that
The city
The cities and surrounding cities
Of Charlotte
Have suffered
A great deal
And a great huge
In many ways
Just due to a lot of the people
That are considerably at the bottom
Not speaking up

(14:48):
And doing things to make
A better situation
Yes, a lot of the problems are
In the lower class
In the lower class, excuse me
In the lower class
Due to the case of
Money is a problem
To me
That's a
Crisis that a lot of people

(15:10):
Go through from middle class
Down
To money
In one situation
I've heard people be like
Well, you know man
As a black man
Or as a black woman
We struggle for this and we struggle for that
Think about it like this
If you have that

(15:32):
Struggle, take that
Struggle, make sure it's unique though
Make sure it's a struggle
That nobody, make sure it's
Something that somebody is dealing with
A whole lot of people aren't dealing with it
And take it to the city
And give it to them
So you don't think Trump was trying to help the black race?
I don't know
I'm going to be honest with you

(15:54):
I'm not talking about no other thing but money
I'm thinking he was
Trying to help everybody
To me
It wasn't like he was just looking out for his race
To me
Some may feel like he was
Can I say this?
Trump was hanging around
Bobby Browns, Mike Tyson
Mike Tyson is even on public record

(16:16):
Saying
Donald was a real one
Why is it
We never heard he was racist until he got in the office?
Because
We never heard he was racist until he got in the office
So, to me
I don't think it's really
A thing of
You get what I'm saying?
I'm going to tell you what I think

(16:38):
It's a thing of status
To people who are on his level
And who make him look good
You got to think about
Trump Towers
And Mike
Fighting
Was
Both of them making money out of this
Did he was hanging with them?
All kinds of people

(17:00):
If you got the money
To me it's a thing of status
If you have money
To put all of these
Out of jail
I have the black people out of jail
And probably majority of them he knew
Ran on the streets with
I ain't see
Obama
Doing none of that

(17:22):
I'm just being real
I'm saying
We can't sit here and say
He hasn't done some things
To help
Not just the white community
He does what he can
For a certain amount of people
Again
I still see he
If it's a thing of he wants to help

(17:44):
Everybody
Even the lower class
There are certain parts of the lower class
That he did overlook
Go back to
What we were talking about
Like
Maybe he's seen
You see
You see how
Your mindset can be

(18:06):
With a mindset like mine
But I would never go into it like that
Speaking from existence
Me being middle class
Like I say me getting up
Blue collar working everyday
Seeing somebody that's not working
I'm trying personally knowing somebody
That just don't want to work
Seeing them get
All this assistance and help

(18:28):
When I get in a position
You know what I'm saying
I might take some of that anger
That I had towards that person
And some of that might be used on some of my decision making
Like you know
I seen people cheat the system
I seen people
You know what I'm saying
Like he did about the border thing
Like a lot of people that was coming from

(18:50):
Over the border
A lot of crimes was happening
When they started allowing it
Which came out to be true
It's a lot of things
That he was doing that made sense
And I think a lot of that happens
When you experience it
And he was a president
Before a president he was a person
He was out there with these people

(19:12):
The criminals, the thugs, the good people
So he was
You can't say he wasn't in that
He was around that
Obama wasn't
I can't say he was around
This or that
I'm going to tell you what the biggest problem is
With what you just said
What?
Look at the color of the skins here

(19:34):
Right?
A lot of people
Didn't want a
Black man in that seat
That started off with that
It's a different story
A lot of people wanted Trump in that seat
But they didn't want
Obama in that seat
Obama had to go a different
Angle than Trump

(19:56):
Trump has a total
Different acceptance
People of acceptance
Than Obama's people of acceptance
He got a wider people to pick from
That's going to help him
I can go get anybody out
Out of jail
That's prison? That's easy
What if it was Obama vs. Hillary?
Let's switch the role

(20:18):
You think Obama would've won?
Obama vs. Hillary?
That makes you think
Obama
Because
People didn't want a woman in that seat
People didn't want a woman in that seat
You get why I'm saying
I can take it so many ways
That's the situation you're giving

(20:40):
Like you just spoke on it
Trump is going to be
Giving a lot more leeway
Because of who he is
I think he ran at the right time
He didn't want a woman
It ain't race involved
It was woman vs. man
Who do we prefer more
In the seat?
To me

(21:02):
I'm going to be honest with you
This is the part I don't like about Trump
Trump is not honest
He's not honest?
That's the only thing that hurts him
What president
You know that's completely honest
It's not a thing of saying
I know
Let's speak on Trump
Before we speak on any other situation

(21:24):
Anything with politics
Is always going to be questionable
It don't matter who you speak
We ain't even talking about presidents
We talking about people above presidency
And below presidency
It's a political thing
You're going to have to deal with people
It's going to be an untrustworthy situation
But I'm just giving you in the case of saying
If you're going to speak on something

(21:46):
Especially being in their presidency
How people felt like
Biden was forgiving
Loans, student loans
And a lot of people still
Dealing and struggling with student loans
So that
So I could
Call him out in the situation too
But to me
I'm going to say it like this

(22:08):
You have to help everybody
No matter what
To me I feel like
Trump has a lane to
To
People who money
If you got money
You on Trump's page
Trump don't like somebody that
Or if you trying to make some money
If you trying to make some money

(22:30):
If you want to learn something
If you want opportunity
He going to give you this opportunity
I feel
What you do with it is up to you
That's what kind of president he is
On the character of the person
That's why I think a lot of people
Don't like that kind of government
They don't want somebody to just be like
I'm not going to give you

(22:52):
Free food
But I am going to give you this
Here's the opportunity
You sign up for this and you do this
And you will get that
People don't want to work for it
That's the thing
The democrats will just hand it to you
They will just give it to you
Okay I'm going to give you this
But you have to do this

(23:14):
This step right here
You have to show you want it
A little bit
And then I give it to you
I'm going to have to defer
Republicans have given more money
Republicans have given more money
To Americans
Than the democrats
I'm talking about the lower class
Or the middle class

(23:36):
Look how much Trump gave it to you
That's what you want right
Somebody to look out for everybody
You just said
That democrats just give away
To the lower class
To the lower class
They look out for the lower class
They look more out for the lower class
And like you say you supposed to look out for everybody
But people are left out

(23:58):
So in the case of that
Like you just said
That's the point of what I'm saying
So if you got somebody like Trump in office
You cannot take away
Things that people need
People needed health insurance
He screwed a lot of people
He screwed a lot of people
With the way he switched up the whole situation
With the way he switched up the whole situation

(24:20):
Of how healthcare went
Which is why people like
I was speaking on
Vilaos takes the situation
And there's a situation where there is
It's like a racial turn
On certain situations
When it came to
The situation of COVID right
The reason why
It's like

(24:42):
It's like Trump knew that people were
Going to need
This vaccine shot
He started taking away
All these health situations
Where people could get healthcare
And simple healthcare
And put this roadblock up and then all of a sudden
Coronavirus shows up
Then all these people die
Look how many people died

(25:04):
Due to Coronavirus
Listen
I ain't signing with nobody man
But listen though
Listen though
I see his
I see what he's trying to do
I see what he's trying to do
He's trying to get people
To not be so
Reluctant on the system

(25:26):
People to be so dependent on the system
And the government
To get that
That's what we need
I'm talking
I'm speaking from a man that
That goes out and have to get it
The government ain't gave me ish
Like you know what I'm saying
Stimulus check I will give him that
He gave me the stimulus check and that was the biggest blessing

(25:48):
A lot of people asleep on that
But that helped me a lot because
Bruh that stimulus money
Started me out in my savings account
To be honest like before that
I started saving like that for real
That 300
Something whatever
Motivated me to stack up
And ever since that's my turning point bro
When my account really hit

(26:10):
Started being effective is when I got that
Stimulus check and after that my mind set
Changed because when you see that in your account
It motivates you even more
Now I'm going to stack this up I'm going to save this
I'm not going to touch it
I'm putting like 200 out my check
Every check into my savings
A lot of people asleep on it
That helped a lot
That stimulus helped a lot

(26:32):
You know what I'm saying
He's done some good things now
I ain't sitting here promoting nobody
But I'm just saying we talking about government
And that kind of was a touchy subject
Because a lot of people would
Just say he's racist like come on man
He was around black folks
All the time like how do we know
He's racist or not
That's always

(26:54):
Going to be the case though
Black folk could be racist against his own kind
Or white could be racist
Again if you're going to be
All out about it be all out about it
Don't give traits
And then not go all
Away with it you know that's the only thing
Of course being in that seat he has to
There's a certain line of respect that he
Has to show so again

(27:16):
We won't ever know I'm not going to see him pointed out
To say that he's racist or not
But there are a lot of
People who are like him
That show tendencies
And you know
It's a lot to take in
In the US now
And especially like I said
The reason why I talk about these people is Charlotte
You know V. Lous is the one

(27:38):
We basically went into today
You know like with her
You get in, you get in these seats
Get a seat
Go in
Go in with a mentality
Go help us out
Help everybody like you said I like that
Help everybody
Help us out
I never said it was a problem

(28:00):
Helping everybody bro
I was saying how
Like people like me and you will feel
You see how we feel left out when
Democrats look out for lower class
People or people that don't work or try to work
Right you see how that feel
They're not looking out for everybody
And they said what she did look she looked out
For everybody
That's why I'm arguing and saying

(28:22):
I have an issue I will bring this up
Look out for everybody
You know what I'm saying I wouldn't have a problem
You wouldn't hear me complaining if everything
Applied to everybody
Don't just make it applicable for one person
Like why we all can't have
Why it gotta be all these qualifications
For government housing
You know what I'm saying
Like everybody can't have

(28:44):
Need help getting a place
Somewhere like
Why it gotta be all these stipulations
You know what I'm saying like make it
For the people
That's all I'm saying
That's all I'm saying bro
It's a wide range of things
To do
That we have to
Need to take action

(29:06):
To fix
It's ugly now
That's the only thing
That's the only thing that concerns me
That's why I want to talk about
People of the past and people who
Do things and sit in seats
That
That
Especially in our city
Trying to help everybody

(29:28):
I would love to talk to V. Liles if that was the case
I would love to talk to Harvey Gantt
You see what she brought up
To rub shoulders and
Mindsets and
Hear what
People think about
What people they've heard
What they came up with
How did they grow up?
What did you have when you grew up?

(29:50):
What things did you see that were wrong then?
It's your mindset like my mindset
How you feel about this situation
How do you see it now?
Does it make sense to you now?
How much have things changed since you were young?
What do you think
Is going to be in the next 10 years?
Those are the only kind of people I think
That we need to bring on this show
It's got to be people

(30:12):
That's done some things
It can't just be
No disrespect
But it's got to be somebody
That's attainable
And reachable
It can work
At Workable Budget
We come up with that together
I'm willing to do that
We need those kind of people

(30:34):
On here to speak
And educate it
They lived it
And they can actually tell us
Which is why I talk
Very openly
Trying to get into these topics
Because
We need to know where we're going
All we know where we're going
Is that we have to know where we came from

(30:56):
What the situation was
And I think that
Plays a lot on our history
Finding it
We got to dig it up
We got to be lazy
And just trying to go out the lane
Of just being given the same old boring topics
That everybody always talk about
What's the use of talking to all these rappers
What's the use of talking to all these

(31:18):
High dollar celebs
What are we going to gain from it?
They're not giving us gain
They just got out this episode
My concerns of the world
And how I think it's effective
And not effective
You got to CQ the
Business
What you call it
Political Q

(31:40):
You know what I'm saying?
Political Q
It's a lot to learn
Still so much to learn
So many changes that can be done and made
The city is getting bigger and bigger
The cities around us are getting bigger and bigger
A lot of these cities are going to touch in a minute
That's a good thing
Especially North Carolina
Especially once you hit

(32:02):
Once you hit
The location
South Carolina is a nice spot
That's the middle of it
Anything within an hour
Charlotte, you're doing pretty good
Either way you go
If you're going 85 South, 85 North
77 South, 75 North
Anything within an hour
That right there, I think all of this stuff

(32:24):
Is eventually going to sink in
And we're all going to get it
And when I talk about location
I know this is all topic
You have people coming from all over
To those spots
And a lot of people
Might be business savvy
Business minded
Like money
They only have money that they can

(32:46):
Invest into these places
Buildings and stuff like that
When you think about little old Statesville
Where I'm from, like you say, that's on the outer
So nobody is really
Moving to Statesville
Somebody that could
Impactfully influence the
City in a positive way
So that's what I feel
Is wrong with my city

(33:08):
It's too far out
And nobody is thinking about
Let me make Statesville home
I haven't heard nobody say that
No disrespect
And then you have the same
People with the same mentality
Where is the growth going to come?
It's a city that's dying
People are dying, people are hungry
Starving, you know what I'm saying

(33:30):
Hopeless mentally
Feel like there's no hope
Giving up because they don't have
No hope from
A person or
A job or
Buildings or just things to do
All this affects it
So
That's another
Opportunity

(33:52):
Of things
To
Think about too
In the future
And this is me
There's a fit for everybody
You can't say nobody would move
To this area because there are people
Living there
So even like I said, when I moved to Norah
Keel, nobody was moving to Norah Keel

(34:14):
That wasn't a cool thing to do
They're like, why are you moving out of Charlotte?
Because I want to
To me, I mean you can live in Statesville
To Charlotte to come to work
That ain't far
I know people driving from Columbia, South Carolina
To Charlotte every single day
Back and forth, every day
So I can get a house in Charlotte
South Carolina and

(34:36):
Drive to Charlotte
It's not a problem to get a job in Charlotte
I did it, I lived in Rock Hill
And drove to Charlotte every evening
To go to work
Every evening
From 2011 all the way up to
2021
Yeah
2021
And you know what, my mom always say

(34:58):
Like, the job
Get you a job that's close to
That's why my mom said it was always like that
Get a job that's in your city
And you know
That's a lot of miles on your car
That's a lot of miles
Quote on quote
That's a lot of miles on your car
But now I think about it, the best jobs are probably
A couple miles away from you

(35:20):
You know what I'm saying, 30 minutes
20, some of the best jobs
I've had have been me hitting
That I-10, by-10
You know what I'm saying
Those are some of the best jobs
Come on down
It's plenty jobs
It's plenty jobs to
Put in
The faces of people

(35:42):
You just gotta go to them sometimes
There's nothing wrong going to the money, you gotta drive to the money
You gotta put miles on your car
You gotta put miles on your car
A car can go down on you in 100 miles
A car can go down on you in 500,000 miles
It doesn't switch the situation
A car is going to be a car
It's man-made, you don't know when it's going to hit the desk
It's material

(36:04):
It's man-made
It's objection is to what?
Get you where you need to go
That's another topic
That's a whole other topic
That's a whole other topic
Right there
But again, Charlotte
Let's shout out V. Liles
V. Liles is the truth
Our first black female

(36:26):
I'm glad you read that
If you didn't get last week
I did
To choose to talk about Harvey B. Gantt
The first black man
That's the first black mayor
Of Charlotte, North Carolina
So again
We are definitely here
We've been here
We've been working within the city

(36:48):
For years
And we're finally getting those chances to get those seats
So shout out to them
For giving us the opportunity to do this type of stuff
Like I said
Giving opportunities for other people to say
Hey, I'm going to do that
I want to get into the city and try to make a difference
Again, I need to get my boy Gary in here though
Gary, I need to get you in here
If nothing else

(37:10):
I can come to you
Or whatever it is bro
Sit down and have a conversation about
Things that can help improve the city
That a lot of people don't know
And again, I'm seeing you being the mayor one of these days too bro
So stay tuned
I'm hitting up my mayor right now
So I did
Stay tuned
