Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now, I've been called a lot of my twenty three
years that donkey of the day is a new wife.
Donkey to day for Monday goes to me Leonard McKelvey.
Contrary to popular belief, this is not the first time
I've given myself dunky to day because Dunkey to day
does not discriminate. I mean, I may be kind of
biased towards certain people, but I don't have any bias
(00:22):
when it comes to myself. If I'm wrong, if something
I do I say doesn't sit right with my spirit,
I have to apologize and do better moving forward. And
that's what I'm about to do right now. I want
to apologize the qualm A Brown and Kwalmy Brown's family.
I want to apologize to this his father, Bill Brown,
and and and the family of his father. See last
week on this radio and my attempt to defend a Charleston,
(00:45):
South Carolina born brother like myself, I revealed too much
information about that man's family. And even though all that
stuff is public record, some things just don't need to
be said on the radio, and they definitely don't need
to be said by me. When I look back, you know,
on the way I communicated that I communicated it all wrong,
and I unintentionally triggered trauma and a lot of folks
I grew up with, who I genuinely love. I'm sure
(01:07):
I caused a lot of pain for not only Kuama Brown,
but for his family, especially his family and my hometown
amongst Corner, South Carolina. You know how I know because
I spoke to a few of them. I've been on
the phone this weekend with with with mothers of children
and their children. Salute to Shaliba and her daughter Brianna Brianda.
I was on the phone with sisters like while let's
(01:27):
salute to let Oh. She cursed me out good and
you know, I was apologizing for triggering them, causing them
pain because I was casually discussing their families trauma. Man,
And that's something that I have to stop doing. That's
something that we all have to stop doing. I was
talking to my sacred Purpose coach Yai y all, but
this weekend, she's like a spiritual therapist. I have her
in my clinical therapist, and that's what we were talking about.
(01:47):
How we casually discussed each other's traumas I didn't even
think about when I spoke on you know, Kuami and
his family. How many people were impacted by those things
I was speaking on. I mean, that's that's generational. Okay.
I caused hayne and unintentionally, unintentionally poked at people's wounds. Okay,
wounds that will probably never heal. And I can't take
back those words, but I can't apologize. You know, I
(02:08):
think oftentimes we meaning black people, we fight each other
with our demons, whether true or false, whatever is the
worst thing we know about a person, or think we
think we know about the person. We defaulted that and
that was not my intention. I was not in any way,
shape or for him trying to paint Kwami in a
negative light. Okay, that black man is not my op.
He wasn't my op when I said it. In my mind,
I'm defending that man, but I should have been defending
(02:29):
him as Leonard Charlemagne, the god mckelvy, the professional, and
not Leonard Larry whatever you want to call me from
Monks Corner in South Carolina, talking like I'm home in
the town on why I believe they need to leave
Kwame Brown alone. That was whack because the conversation didn't
even have to go there. The conversation should have been
about basketball. Yes, leave Kwalmy Brown alone because he achieved
the goal in a dream that one point three percent
(02:50):
of n C Double A seniors will achieve an o
point oh three percent of high school seniors. You know what,
I miss A smaller number that is, and you know
just that's just simply being drafted in the NBA. If
you play thirteen seasons and make sixty five million dollars,
your success. Okay, if you work thirteen years anywhere and
make that kind of money, your success or salute to
that man. The only expectations we have to live up
(03:10):
to is our own. That's why I always say success
is subjective. Okay, my views of success may be different
than yours. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters.
But we didn't even get into that conversation because my
mind automatically went to something that didn't that it didn't
even have to go to, and doing that, I unintentionally
caused trauma. And since I unintentionally caused trauma, I have
(03:30):
to be intentional about causing healing. I'm not about to
sit around and have beef with another black man for nothing.
And trust me as y'all know, I have a lot
of real enemies who are gunning for me every day.
Kwamy Brown is not gonna be one of them. Okay.
I totally understand why Kalama Brown was upset at me.
I went low. That wasn't my intention, but in hindsight,
it was low, and Kwamie took it to the floor
(03:51):
with me, and y'all be online so excited ready to
see black people go back and forth and tear each
other down. I'm not doing that. I'm not going back
and forth. If I feel like I on somebody, I'm
going to apologize. That's what I think a good man does.
A good man apologizes for the mistakes you know that
he made, but a great man corrects him. Hopefully I
get the opportunity to do that one day, but for now,
I just apologize. And I'm not beefing with a black
(04:13):
man who's born while I was born and has family
where I'm from. There's nothing on this planet that I
love more than God, my family in Monk's Corner, South Carolina,
the whole Low Country to eight four three, drop on
a clues boun for today for three. Okay, So when
I say I sincerely apologize the Kame Brown and his
family and the family of Bill Brown and Monks Corner.
I mean that the only thing I'm responsible for is
(04:34):
my energy and recognizing my own insanity, and eckar totally
once said to recognize one's own insanity is, of course
the arising of sanity, the beginning of healing and transcendence.
I truly believe if trauma can be passed down through generations,
then so can healing me. Leonard mckelby. I have never
(04:54):
claimed to be perfect. In fact, I'm far from it.
I'm not gonna always get it right. The same things
people listen to you for the same things they hate
me for. Because I talked too much. I overshare. I
overshare about myself, I overshare about others, and that has
historically got me in trouble. But we are all works
in progress, and one of the most healing things you
can do is recognize where in your life you are
your own poison. And last week I was poison the
(05:17):
Kwame Brown, Bill Brown, and their families. For that, I
sincerely apologize. Please let remy mar give me. Leonard McKelvey, Charlemagne,
the God, the biggest here are heehaw he haa, you're
stupid mother, Are you dumb? Yes, Indeed, Donkey to Day
is brought to you by the law office of Michael
(05:37):
s Lammon Soft. Don't be a donkey. Dive pound two
fifty on your cell and say the bull. If you've
been hurting a construction accident, that's pound two five old
