Speaker 1 (00:00):
I was donkey up to day. Damn heg it, donkey.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
I me ain't trying to be donkey today no more.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm
not making these people do these days.

Speaker 4 (00:13):
It's called donkey of the day and it really caught
me off guard. Damn Charlamagne, who got the donkey out
the day today?

Speaker 1 (00:22):
Wow?

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Donkey today for Tuesday, May twenty third goes to Daniel Penny.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
If the name sounds familiar, but not really.

Speaker 3 (00:28):
Daniel Penny is the man charged with second degree man
slaughter in the video recorded subway killing of Jordan Neely
earlier this month. Rest in peace to Jordan Neely. Now, look,
everyone is innocent until proven guilty. All right, did Daniel
Penny kill Jordan Neely? Yes, we saw that on video. It'
stup to a court a law to determine whether or
not what he did was a criminal act.

Speaker 2 (00:48):
All right, don't be mad at me. That's just the
way the law works.

Speaker 3 (00:51):
So in a situation like this, uh, you know, I
see it, I mind my business, wait for the facts
to come out. But Daniel Penny gave his first interview
with The New York and I would never understand why
it's so hard.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
For people to just shut the f up.

Speaker 3 (01:04):
Okay, maybe it's the caucasidy, maybe it's the unmelanated gaul.
I don't know what it is that makes someone who
has just killed a man in front of the whole
world on video feel like they have to have a
conversation about it.

Speaker 2 (01:15):
And if you're going to have a conversation about.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
It, show some empathy for the family and the life
you took, show some remorse. But Nope, nobody clearly prepped
Daniel Penny on how to do any of those things.
And maybe they don't have to because in the eyes
of America, this might be an easy call. Daniel Penny,
white male military veteran hero saving people from Jordan, nearly
black mail, threatening mental health issues.

Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, we see the narrative that's being painted.

Speaker 3 (01:41):
And another narrative that's being painted is that Daniel Penny
is a racist, And in this interview with The New
York Post, he pushed back on the notion that he
is indeed a white supremacist.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Let's go to Fox News for the report place.

Speaker 5 (01:53):
The marine veteran accused in the choke hold death of
a homeless subway rider breaks his silence. Daniel Penny addressing
the incident on the subway to that that now has
him facing second degree manslaughter charges, telling the New York
Post quote, this had nothing to do with race. I
judge a person based on their character. I'm not a
white supremacist. I mean it's a little bit comical. Everybody

(02:17):
who's ever met me can tell you I love all people.
I love all cultures. You can tell by my past
and all of my travels and adventures around the world.
I was actually planning a road trip through Africa before
this happened.

Speaker 3 (02:30):
Daniel, your penny got a hole in it. Okay, you
sound hopeless. Word to Dione feris all the uncles and
aunties know who that is.

Speaker 2 (02:36):
All you youngin is googlely.

Speaker 3 (02:38):
Here's some words you don't use to describe a murder, Okay,
when you are charged with manslaughter. Comical, Okay, Daniel Penny said,
it's a little bit comical to call him a racist. Daniel,
I don't know if you're a racist or not, but
you have to overstand that some people are trying to
figure out why you would just strangle a man on
the subway, okay, and a white man doing that to
a black man in America, we are always going to

(02:59):
go to race for so it's not comical to think
you are racist.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
It's context. Okay, historical context that day. Blame your ancestors
and racist piers for people jumping to that conclusion. But
that's not even the reason you're getting donkey today.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
I mean, personally, you could have just left it at
You know, I'm not racist.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
I love all people, I love all coaches.

Speaker 3 (03:16):
But no, did y'all catch you the reason why you
couldn't be racist?

Speaker 2 (03:20):
Listen, listen to this one again.

Speaker 5 (03:22):
I'm not a white supremacist. I mean it's a little
bit comical. Everybody who's ever met me can tell you
I love all people, I love all cultures. You can
tell by my past and all of my travels and
adventures around the world. I was actually planning a road
trip through Africa before this happened.

Speaker 3 (03:39):
I was actually planning a road trip through Africa before
this happened. Not as comical, okay, a road trip through Africa.
White people going to Africa is what makes them less racist.
Daniel Penny, do you know anything about the European colonization
of Africa? I mean, what do you want to call
it to scramble for Africa, the partition of Africa, the
conquest of Africa, whatever you want.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
To call it.

Speaker 3 (03:59):
It was the invasion and coolination of colonization of most
of Africa by several Western European powers. So a white
man visiting Africa doesn't mean they have tolerance for black people.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
Okay.

Speaker 3 (04:10):
Planning to go to Africa doesn't in any way mean
you don't suffer from white supremacy or racism. That's like
saying a man isn't fat because he goes to whole foods. Okay,
fat people have access to whole foods, like racists have
access to Africa. Okay, what's next, Daniel Penny, You're gonna
tell us that some of your best friends are black.
You're gonna tell us you voted for Barack Obama twice. Oh,
Black Pants is your favorite movie too, Daniel Penny, how

(04:32):
you cried went to Charlie and Queen Ramanda died? And
for the record, I'm not saying that Daniel Penny is racist.
I have no idea what this man believes in his heart.
I just know that this is absolutely from Some of
my best friends are black. Playbook and another example of
how we can't have real conversations about race. Okay, I
think white people like Daniel Penny have superficial relationships with

(04:53):
black people, and he doesn't even understand how race plays
out in a black person's daily life. If he did,
he would probably understand why folks are calling him a
racist for scrangling a black man to death on the train.

Speaker 2 (05:05):
I'm just here to.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Tell y'all this morning that proximity to blackness does not
stop white people from doing racist things. I repeat, proximity
to blackness does not stop white people from doing racist things.
I know, New York Post you always trying to humanize
Daniel Penny.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
I get it.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
But in humanizing him, how about keep him from keep
him from sounding stupid? Please letr me MA give Daniel
Penny the biggest e ull he ha he ha.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
You stupid motherfucker? Are you dumb?

Speaker 2 (05:34):
All right?

Speaker 6 (05:34):
All right, well thank you for that donkey today. Yes, indeed,
shout everybody on B E T. Will see you guys tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (05:40):
Thank you b E T. All right, now, just have
the dilemma.

Speaker 6 (05:44):
Just has a dilemma, Just has some mess.

Speaker 1 (05:48):
So what's what's what's the situation?

Speaker 4 (05:50):
Just Okay, So look right, so I do this segment
called Jess with the Mess, and somebody wrote when you
do it that on Carefully Reckless my podcast which is
on the Black Effect under iHeartRadio.

Speaker 1 (06:01):
Thank you chall man, like y'all like that, you tossed
it away all right?

Speaker 2 (06:06):
Now.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
I had somebody that write me, that wrote me that
said they're in a relationship with some relationship and their
current man had a previous relationship that he was in.
He was attached to a child in that relationship. Now
the child is his child. No it's not. It's not
as biological child. And the child even knows her dad,
and her dad is in her life, you know, not

(06:27):
the best dad, but nevertheless still knows in her life
right now. When he was with this girl, he did
a lot for the girl. He built the bond with
the child. They were only together for maybe like a
year and a half or so, but he was very
drawn to this child.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
And even with them breaking.

Speaker 4 (06:43):
Up, he goes to like her graduations and stuff like that.
And and the girl that wrote me, she has a
problem with it because he has a problem with the
bond that her and her baby father had. And apparently
her and her baby father are like me and Jerome,
which is why she first wrote me yes, And she
wants to know is this a deal breaker because she

(07:05):
feels like it's manipulative for him for her current boyfriend
to use the situation. Oh well, look, well I ain't
gonna stop dealing with my my my and we can't
even say my step daughter because you're not you was
never married. The daughter is like eight or nine, so
she's young, you know, and she's graduating from what's the
name and the whole, I mean, from elementary school.

Speaker 1 (07:27):
And she told he told me.

Speaker 4 (07:28):
He was like, I want to go to the graduation
and me and her mother will be staying side by side,
saying I'm.

Speaker 3 (07:33):
Like, whoa, So you basically like, did you stop being
cool with your ex and your ex's family for your
new man?

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Is that what you're saying?

Speaker 4 (07:40):
I mean, it ain't even that, it's just like because
she's saying that he uses it in like a manipulative way,
like whenever her and her because he feels like he
feels like she can't talk to our baby fop unless
it's about the child, like they do business together. When
I said they're like me and Rome, They're like me
and Rome. So they do business together, they're friends, they
do talk outside of their child.

Speaker 2 (08:00):
Romas your brother, baby daddy.

Speaker 4 (08:02):
Yeah that is, that's what it is, and and and
that's it, you know. But her boyfriend has an issue
with that. If it ain't about the child, it should't be.

Speaker 2 (08:09):
But nothing, you know.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
And and then he'll even go to far and say,
all right, well, look I'm going to the graduation with
with my ex to support the daughter.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Let's let's so cool with with your baby.

Speaker 4 (08:22):
And you know what I'm saying, why I can't still be.

Speaker 6 (08:25):
Well, let's open up the phone lines eight hundred five
eighty five one O five one. Let's let's ask what's
your thought to see I feel like the relationship moved
on and they've only been in a in a relationship
for a year. He's gonna have to wean his his
wean himself off from that girl, right because she's eight
years old.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
The mom is gonna date other men.

Speaker 6 (08:44):
And but that's what I said, wean off slight. But
she has a dad. I mean, she has a father.
That mom is gonna be dating other dudes. That's gonna
be in that relationship, and that's gonna make his new
situation feel a little funny, and also in the in
the other situation, I feel the same way too, Like
you can't have an X that y'all so cool. Yeah,
it would make me feel a way that's not I'm

(09:06):
your man, that's not your man, that's your baby daddy.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
Y'all can talk about the kids.

Speaker 6 (09:09):
Y'all could be cool, but it can't be a whole, big,
happy family like we all live in the same house life.

Speaker 3 (09:13):
Just say you trying to say you think I'll never
find happiness, cause that.

Speaker 4 (09:17):
Is not what he said. That's probably what you think,
but he is. That's not true.

Speaker 6 (09:22):
But let's open up the phone line and discuss eight
hundred and five eight five one oh five one. There's
a lot of moving parts in this, so we'll discuss
when we come back. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning,
