Speaker 1 (00:04):
It's topic time. Call eight hundred five eight five one
oh five. Want to join it to the discussion with
the Breakfast Club morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Charlemagne the guy.
We are to Breakfast Club. We got our guest co host,
Miss Pat. She's joining us this morning. Now if you're
just joining us, we're talking about this restaurant in Pennsylvania.
Some of the employees walked out because they thought the

(00:26):
names of the drinks were disrespectful. All right, So one
of the names were a Caucasian, which is a white Russian,
and they were gonna call a drink a negro. Now
we don't know what the negro drink is. We don't
know what's in it. I have no clue, but the
employees walked out. So we're asking what would you have
done in that situation? Miss Pat asked what was in
the negro? All right? So let's say it was I
don't know, dark liquor and with a little watermelon on it.

(00:52):
I don't know why black people's get a water now
white people. Watermelon is a symbol of freedom, I mean,
but it's good. So I take a drinking with a
all the mel if it's pretty good and it's got
it's got top shift because I don't drink a lot,
so so you wouldn't be mad at the negro. I
mean it's a restaurant with drinks names. Come on, this
world is two damn sensitive. No, I'm not mad. You
ain't calling me no nigro. Okay, Charlemagne, I'm with miss

(01:16):
patting my sensitivity me to not chet the tension. I'm
not the person to ask about this, but the answer
to me is I probably wouldn't quit. Like negro is
the word used to describe it's on your birth certificate.
I don't know if it's only Yes, it's on my
birth certificate. I was born in seventy two. Look at
your race, say black boy male. No, don't say nigro. No,
what year was you born? Charlemagne ten and seventy eight?

(01:36):
Or you're a little bit after me? They had changed.
I'm seventy two, niggro. It might be just black African American.
I thought, no negro, I around Charlemagne. Yeah, we'll say
I'm fifthy. I'm a little older than you guys. Mind
say nigro. And my granddad has said the er and
those are the slurs though, like Negro is the word
usually describe black people a black African heritage called Cajun

(01:58):
is a white skinned European origin fresh out the caucas Mountains.
So I don't r drink. I will back up. If
they said nigga juicing, cracker punch, nigga punch cracker punch,
that's different, you know what I mean? If you mix
it together because it came become a viration thing and
be better calling the Obama. Then by the way, they
have duals, you can go to restaurants in order the Obama.

(02:21):
I'm not I don't think. I don't. I don't think
I like the negro drink. Why not? Because I just
feel funny, Like you got white people at the ball.
Give me three negroes. It just feel funny. Ain't gonna
hold rocks. They're gonna be like three negros. They're not
gonna hollow. But negro is not on the same level
of the as the N word. Negro has never been

(02:41):
a slur. I don't know. I just just don't feel
right to me. If it was called the color, you
know what I'm saying, that's different or the coon. So
did you feel if a black person at the ball saying,
I take some of them crackers and some crackers to
eat the ball. That's if it was called the Caucasian
and the darkies, you know what I'm saying. No, just
Caucasian and the spooks, you know what I mean. That's different.

(03:04):
But Negro don't. I don't really bother me like that.
I don't know. I get what you're saying, though I
know you can hear some white people saying they be like,
what the hell are they saying? But they're in a
place where they are you know, it's drinks. Yeah, but
Doral is too damn sensitive. Okay. My problem is, dude,
you got the money for the niggro And what state
is this? Pennsylvania? Okay, let me ask you a question.
The restaurants here in New York. I won't say their

(03:25):
names because we love these establishments, but they have meals
called the Obama. Even in Atlanta, they got meals called
the Obama and it's like chicken and waffles, even though
chicken is also a symbol of freedom. But is that offeny'all?
I just don't. I don't know. The Negroes just sound
just I don't know. Just let me get the Obama
just sounds cool and the Obama's dark meat and white
meat to represent his birection. Man, Good morning, good morning.

(03:48):
Oh what's your name? Brow three? You better cut it
out of me, right, you're right. What's your day? Joe? Okay, Joe?

hear from a Porto Rican and the Porto Rican drink.
And I don't know at who's this? Hey shot, good morning,

You got a problem with that? First of all, I
want to know this other black or white probably white. Yeah,

I have a problem with that. But they have a
Caucasian drink too. They have a Caucasian drink too. But
you know shola a little from a four three too,
don't you know how we about those type of situations. Absolutely,
that's I mean, what about the restaurants where you where
you go in and they they paid the waitress to
be rude to you as the restaurant when the restaurant

(05:14):
and uh yeah, so it's no different people. You know
what you're getting when you go to this established me.
So if they walk in they call you a bee
or whatever, you pay for that. Then they got a restaurant.
You go in there, all the lights are cut out,
so it's what you if you walk He ain't that's

(05:36):
what you're talking about. But that's the one earlier called
He said he doesn't know if a man gives him
oral it's not getting Oh yeah, yeah him, don't look down.
You know, people pay for that rud rudeness. Yeah, but
I don't know about the negro thing. Call us up

do you feel about it? It's the Breakfast Club, Good morning,
call me opinions to the Breakfast Club top on I

(06:17):
five five one morning. Everybody is DJ Envy Charlomagne the guy.
We are the Breakfast Club. We have Miss Pat here,
she's our guest host, and we're asking, there's a restaurant
out in Pennsylvania that is naming two drinks Caucasian and Negro.
Not employees are pissed off. They're walking out, and we're asking,
what are your thoughts? All out? Who's this? Oh? Hey,
let's just ta hey, TJ, good morning. What would you

(06:40):
do in that situation? I have to walk out. I
would have been walked out. I believe we have and
I'm by racial. My mother's Hispanic, my father is black,
but we have to stand up. That is just it's wrong.
It's completely wrong. They're disrespecting us, and it's not hororble, Like,
can you tell me what's wrong? My money in there,
and I just want to know, like, what's offensive about

(07:01):
Caucasian and Negro? I didn't know those were slurs All
of a sudden. I don't want to want to adjust
me like that. You know, negro, but it's on my
versatif again. I was born in seventy two, and I'm
not nobody's calling nobody a negro. It's the name of
a dream. And we was just saying, it's restaurants out
there that be rude to you. They have different names.

(07:21):
I mean, what what what? I went to a restaurant
in Houston and they had the Obama meal at the
breakfast House, at the breakfast club, the restaurant down. Yeah,
so white people walk in and say, I don't want
a meal called a breakfast Obama. I just want chicken
and waffle whatever, greets and as Yeah, I just think
with two cents of as people. I mean, it's a bar.

(07:41):
And the word negro, I mean, we don't use it
in all every day of vernacular now, but back in
the sixties days to use it all the time. You
go listen to all the old MLK junior speeches. That's
how he was referring to black people like the negro
in the Constitution and the negro in the American Dream.
The negro was part of, you know, a huge community
who seek new freedom in every area of life. These
are MLK jew and his words. And this is before

(08:01):
we became black people. I don't know, Hello, who's that?
I don't know? Hello? Yo? God thought brother good mowing
in man me personally, man, we would have been fighting
up that, George. I'm so confused. Man, I'm not saying that,
y'all wrong. I just didn't I don't know when negro

(08:22):
became a slur. It's not the words back in the
principle that he can do that and the black principle
be okay, would be okay with that? Well, there's a
Negro drinking, there's a Caucasian drink. If it was just
a Negro drinking, we were singled out, I would probably
be like, what is up with this? But being that
there was a Caucasian drink, look white, white, white or black.
If I'm a white person, I'm gonna be you know,

(08:42):
I'm the offended as well. So it's just a place
on both sides. Why would you be offended about an
actual word or like Caucasian it means white people and
they're known for making these types of names for their drinks.
I would have been offended now, I would have been
offended if the black, if the if the Negro only
had gene in it, and the Caucasian had better alcohol,

(09:05):
then I would want to fight. And good Marnie, how
are you feeling? I'm great? How do you guys Saturday?
When you think about the Negro and Caucasian drinks, I think,
first off, we have to you know, I understand that
these people chose I'm that story like these three months.
First of all. Second of all, I feel like, no

(09:27):
matter people you said your first it's March. I know
what I'm saying. They didn't do this dree months. They
have enough sense not to do that. But also, you know,
these days everything is about going viral and geting that attention. Um,
I feel like they just did that to you know,
maybe get that certain notoriety, but didn't take into consideration

(09:51):
you know, their employees or how anyone else would take it.
I feel like this the world you know that we
live in these days? True? Well, thank you, Hey, I
just I just googled Caucasian cocktail. Well, actually I cooled
google Coctasian Caucasian drink and when you google it, it's
a recipe to Caucasian cocktail recipe. There's a bunch of them.

(10:11):
There's another drink called the Dude's Caucasian. What's the Negro?
Did you google Google the Negro? But the Caucasian drink
is you feel a rock, you feel a glassful of
ice pouring two shots of vodka and three shots of coola,
top off with milk. Oh my god, white. Now go
and do the Negro. It's called the Caucasian cockdail. I

(10:34):
don't know what you said, Negro drink. They have one
called in the Groni, but it's not Negro. I don't
even know what Negroni is. And it's cey. It's called
in Negroni. It's called in the Groni. It's borrowed from Italians,
named after account named Camillo Negroni, who asked for its creation.
And it's made out of gin, sweet vermouth and campari.

(10:59):
I don't know what that. What's the moral of the story,
the moreler stories. I don't know when Negro and Caucasian
became slurred. But I mean, if y'all want to be mad,
y'all can be mad. I don't I don't like the
negro jet before the Negros or rocks now, I don't
like that. I mean if a person. If I'm in
there and I see it on the me and that's
something that they do every week, that's the that's what
the restaurant do. I want to get mad. It's the
same way you go to the rude restaurant. I personally

(11:20):
probably wouldn't go there, but I'm not gonna get mad
because that's that's the theme this month. People some people
like themes and they go get it right. Hey, all right,
Well when we come back, we got your room report.
We'll tell you who just had a baby and who's
in a new relationship. So don't move. It's to breakfast
club the morning. DJ V and charlom ain't the guy.
We're brothers. We're happy ever seeing at least I am

(11:45):

breakfast club.
