Legs and gentlemen, may I have your attention please? The

Speaker 2 (01:21):
Well, good evening, How is everyone doing? This is Shenett.
I haven't been on here for a while, and as
you can see, I just woke up as my work schedule.
I just wanted to check in with you guys. A
(01:45):
lot of it's been going on. I've been dealing with
a lot and doing a lot of thinking about everything
(02:06):
since the last time I came on. We know that
I believe it was in August. My co host has
have came home, so he's going through some change. He's
(02:29):
going dealing with some things with the parole board. So
hopefully in two weeks everything will be back to norm
But as far as myself, I just want to be
(03:00):
real with real with everyone. I have been dealing with
some some things where I want to just kind of
step away from it because it's beginning to get too
too much for me. With everything that's going on with
(03:22):
the current administration that's in there, with everything that's going
on with the young man in Texas, all of this
is beginning beginning to be just a little too much.
(03:46):
I was thinking about this the other day. Do I
want to keep going or do I just want to
give up? Do I just want to walk away from it?
And I had one of the man's reach out to
me that shinning and I was talking to him and
(04:12):
he asked me just to keep going because they have
got We had given them a lot of hope, a
lot of them wants to continuously get their stories out.
So now I'm trying to work out a schedule for myself.
(04:32):
You know, hopefully I can change my shifts because I
work at night. I work graveyard from eleven to nine
in the morning, and I got off this morning at
nine o'clock. I get home like at ten o'clock wind down,
and then I've been oversleeping. So this the reason why
(04:55):
I'm late is because I just remember I just woke up.
And that's that's becoming a problem, the whole grief thing
that people probably think that I'm all day. I'm still
stuck in grief. It comes and it goes. It's in ways,
(05:21):
but it's not as bad when I first started, so
I'm getting through that. Also, I want to send my
condolen since two Black Diamond in her family, letting her
know that since I know your pain. You know, I
(05:42):
know how you feeling and that you and your famili's
and my thoughts and prayers. I want to apologize to
my other sisters, Trevita for Trees Mission, just all the
(06:08):
other ladies that's on here. It's it just feels like
I'm dropping the ball. But I have a lot going on,
a lot Angela. I want to apologize to her. You
(06:35):
guys don't know everything that I'm dealing with, and in
due time I will reveal it to you guys. But
it's not it's not with about the grief. Like I said,
it comes and it goes on ways, and right now
(06:59):
it's not that I want to apologize to the viewers,
the ones that do tap in and listen to let's
talk about it, you know, for not being there and
(07:19):
to come on. I'm getting myself. I'm just like I said,
I'm just getting myself back, trying to catch my footing
with getting back to work. I'm working two jobs now,
going to school, and it's just a lot. Still fighting
(07:47):
for my husband Phil, still being a voice for him,
and like I said, it's just getting overwhelmed. Currently in Denver,
we had they had a situation where a officer shot
(08:08):
and killed an African American over there. And it's just
like every person that I reached out to pertaining to
the men's in Denver, they you know, they didn't, they
(08:31):
didn't reach back. But as soon as someone get killed
by an officer over there, everybody is now. They all
want to stand up for injustice, they want to speak out.
(08:52):
But why does it take for someone to lose their
lives for you guys to to speak out about the
injustice that's going on. That's becoming a big pet pee
(09:14):
of minds that these lawyers that's, oh no, we don't
get involved. But next thing, next thing we see is
your face standing in somebody's church talking about what what
(09:38):
what the next move? This is what needs to be done.
And I say to this, this is this is Schanette.
This doesn't have anything to do with the Crew podcast.
I say that you guys are a bunch of hypocrites,
(10:01):
because if you're gonna stand for justice, you're gonna stand
for everything across the board, not just when someone lose
their life. You gonna stand for all of it. You
not gonna just come and pick, try to pick and choose.
(10:21):
Oh I'm gonna go stand with this this family and
you wanna and that to me make it seem like
you're just out for the money. Anything that has a
dollar sign on it, that's what you're chasing. Instead of
(10:44):
looking at the facts all across the board, let's look
at the whole injustice system. You got men and women
that's in prison wrongfully, that's fighting for their lives to
get out. You got next month, you have the father
(11:10):
that's getting ready to be put to death for a
shaking baby syndrome. When the corner's office already said the
baby was sick, that ain't it didn't have he didn't
shake the baby. This is the third time they bring
this man up for execution. Last year was put on halt,
(11:37):
but now come October they're gonna execute him. An innocent man. Innocent.
Then we have a young man I really don't I
(12:03):
was following his case, but I had to stop because
it was making me sick because the hate that I
was seeing from all backgrounds, from everybody, the hate, it
(12:27):
was making me sick. And these are people I don't
know if they really understand they they talk about one
minute they talking about the love of God, then the
next minute they talking they spilling hate towards one another,
(12:56):
and I didn't know how to deal with that. My
heart goes out to the Anthony's family, Carmelo Anthony, the
things that they're dealing with old. He's fighting for his life.
(13:17):
He was placed in that position. He stunned his he
stood his grounds. But you have a lot of people
that believe that he didn't stand that it was too much,
that he shouldn't have did that. What do you think
(13:42):
if your child was in that position, would you want
your child would to lose his life? Cause it's a
it's a lot of things that's coming out. I know
(14:02):
for a fact if it was my child, he would
have protected hisself in can't nobody tell me when you
have a group of people standing around you that you
wouldn't protect yourself In another case that coming out of Texas,
(14:32):
they didn't broadcast this one where you had a I
guess the new word now is yt person on a lie.
Hispanic young boy, he poked him. That's another new word
(15:01):
they're using in the bathroom at school. His case can
get a lot of publicity, a lot of hate like
the Carmelo Anthony case is getting. Why is that it's
(15:24):
the hate it's the hate. Every time you see a
black male, any one of their cases come up. If
they don't have the money, we already know that theyre
(15:49):
going to present even if they do have the money.
It's all about who's sitting on that jury. It's all
about who's representing them. It's like the black man and woman,
(16:28):
we gotta we gotta, we gotta target on our backs,
all because of our color, all because God decided to
give us a color. I'm not no theologia. I'm just
(16:51):
a regular person. But I tell you one thing. I
know what my Bible says. We're all made in His image.
And if we were all made in His image, doesn't
that mean that the African American man, that the black man,
(17:12):
is the image of God. I would think so, because
that's what he said. We're all made in his image.
It's not one. We're not beneath n no other ethnic group.
(17:36):
But that's how they looked out at us. Can't nobody
say they don't. I deal with that on a daily basis,
daily basis, and I know we all do. I thought
(18:00):
I had my notes, but I can't find my notes,
So just bear with me. I'm gonna just hold you
guys for a few more minutes, and then I just
want to say this. I work for a company. I'm
not gonna say their names, and I had a meeting,
(18:28):
a one on one. Every month we have a one
on one, and I have some concerns, say asked, and
so Shinet, what is your concerns? Awre you like it?
Cause I only been with the company for five months,
(18:49):
and so you know, I was just like you guys,
got us saying this, quoting this thing because the state
and the mission statement, but nobody lives up to it.
I don't think that the company lives up to what
(19:11):
the mission statement is. And they said, well, why why
do you say that, Schnet, Because when I pick up
the team members and I'm moving to team members and stuff,
you guys tell us the greeters as as the bus operators.
(19:34):
You tell us the greet everybody that step their foot
on their Well guess what. I had a whole team supervisors, managers,
what get on a get on here with me, a
(19:57):
different ethnic groups. I was the only the only black
because I was the driver and I'm greeting them. Did
not one of them say anything to me. They just
looked at me like yeah, whatever, But they got on
(20:19):
there and or they came on and they act like
that they hear me, and she told me they don't
have to say nothing to you, and it kind of
(20:43):
threw me back, and I'm like, wow, so you want
me to greet them, but you don't want them to
say they can't they don't have to say anything to me. Well,
when I was coming up, what my mother told us,
what my grandparents parents told us, was when someone speaks
(21:04):
to you, you speak back to him because you don't
know what that person is dealing with. It's not hard
to say good morning, good afternoon, or good night, or
how you doing. It's not hard to say the words. Then,
(21:29):
my little grandson, five years old, his first year in kindergarten.
This year, little Trician, I guess little Trician up there
showing out because his mama got called home, got called
(21:51):
to the school because I guess he's not supposed to.
They turn in a blind eye when other little people.
He's the only person of color in his class, hitty,
(22:18):
so when he hits back, it's a problem. It's a problem.
They She was also told because she said Tristan was
(22:41):
telling her that Mommy, they don't want to share. So
she brung that up and in that meeting they told
her they don't have to share if they don't want
(23:04):
to share the ball and it's not their ball, it's
the school ball. They don't want to share the ball
that they're playing with, they don't have to share. But
when Tristan has things, when he's playing with things, they
(23:24):
try to make him share. What kind of sense does
that make. When we was coming up, we share. We
was taught to share. It was books out there on
how to share. But now in school you don't have
(23:49):
to share. These are five years old, these are kindergarten,
so you are ready instilling the hate in them. You started,
You start now, and then when they get up an
age like what I'm experiencing at where I work at,
(24:14):
that's the outcome. What Carmelo Anthony family is experiencing, that's
the outcome. All because of color of the skin of
our skin. And mind you, God said we all made
in his image. I hate the husband always tell me, babe,
(24:49):
don't don't get don't get your blood pressure up, and
I try not to, but sometimes we got to take
a stand for something. We have to take a stand.
(25:14):
I'm not telling you what to do with what to do,
I ain't telling you. You ain't got to speak to me.
That's the way I feel now since that that was
told to me. So I even told her then if
they ain't got to speak to me, well, I'm not
saying anything. Well, you been watched because our supervisor want
(25:39):
to make sure that we living up to the statement
that's double standard. And we see that. We see it
in the the justice system, we seeing in the school system,
(26:00):
We're seeing it in the workplace. We've probably been saying
maybe I just ain't been paying paying too much attention
to it, But lately I've just been paying attention to it.
And all of this is just coming and it's just
(26:22):
wearing on me, and it's and I know a lot
of people saying, oh, you should just let it just
fall off of you. How can we How can I
walk through walk and let all of this stuff just
roll off of me? Like I like I don't have
(26:43):
a car and spirit. Maybe I am too compassion. I
don't know why God created made me this way where
I have a lot of compassion, Why I feel a
certain way, why I feel that we shouldn't teach our
kids to hate one another. That if someone is playing
(27:05):
with a ball, don't take the ball from somewhere. That's
that's same thing in Carmelo Anthony case. Well, he was
just sitting there up under a tent from the rain.
And here I have my little grandson five years old,
get hit. He can't, he can't find hisself somebody. He's
(27:27):
playing with somebody, somebody can take it. But if they
playing with something, they don't have to share it. That's
double standard. And it's really getting starting to tee me off,
(27:51):
it really is. So that's another that's the reason, another
reason why I just like to forget it, because I
see the double standards, the double standards everybody. Oh, we
(28:12):
all need to stick together, that's true, and we are.
We're gonna fight, Are we gonna if we're want to
fight for against the current administration? Everybody speaking out the
side of their neck. Don't nobody want to stand with us?
(28:36):
The first people of color. Only time they want to
stand with us is when it benefits them. We have
some people that stands with the black community, but then
(28:57):
we have some people that only want to use us.
And a lot of the African American black community, it's
tired of it. It's tired. That hate is real. I
(29:26):
didn't you know when we was coming up in the
seventies and now when our generation was coming up, my
generation was coming up, Maybe we didn't see it as
much as our well, we didn't see it as much
as our parents and our grandparents. We didn't see it.
(29:50):
But boy, I'm seeing it now. My eyes is wide open.
The justice system doesn't work for the black man. The
school system. I'm sending it with with with my with
my grandson. Everything is double standards everything, and we as
(30:17):
a community. They probably say, oh, she's she's talking racist,
she's a race. No, I'm not. I'm not. I love everybody.
We was raised not to see color. But when you
have certain people that sees color instead of look on
(30:42):
the inside, because that's what the Bible said, God looks
on the inside, not the outside appearance, the inside. A
man to be judged based on his character. But you
(31:05):
have people judging us on our color, our skin color.
It's a lot to think about. Family, It's a lot.
(31:30):
It's a lot, it's a lot injustice. What does that
mean to you? How would you teach your kids, your
(31:53):
grandkids different or society that I hate that's out there.
How would you teach them? How would you teach them
to stand your ground their ground? How would you teach them?
(32:19):
How would you interact? How would you interact with other people?
I do, Like I said, I do apologize for my tardiness.
(32:39):
I do not. I do apologize for not being here
these last couple of my last couple of shows, and
(33:00):
in two weeks I should be back to myself. Just remember,
I love you guys. I love you guys unconditionally, and
(33:25):
I'm talking to my listeners. I'm also talking to my
sisters of the Crew podcast. I love you guys dearly.
I love you guys, and Angela, I love you too.
(33:50):
You guys stay pless as missionary apostle Angela Emma was say,
don't forget to drink your water and stay in your
own lane. Thank you guys for letting me get up
(34:14):
here and get some stuff off off my chest. It's
some of the stuff that I've been going through with
this hate. Stay woke, family, Stay woke, and stay prayed up.
