is October first, and I hopethat you guys are having a wonderful Sunday.
(00:53):
I am here in the sunny stateof Arizona and Phoenix, and it
is still warm, but the temperatureare starting to moderate, which means that
we will finally be out of theone hundred plus degree temperatures and down into
the nineties and eighties, which isso much better during this time of year.
(01:15):
I want to talk about a lotof different things today, but I've
got to narrow them down because numberone, I don't want to bore you,
and number two, I don't havea whole lot of time. Okay,
so my main topic today is goingto be on Coach Prime Deon Sanders,
but there are a couple of thingsI need to talk about first,
before I really get to him ormaybe what they'll do is the things that
(01:37):
I talk about, they will kindof explain a little bit more about Coach
Deon Sanders Coach Prime. But first, we've got to recognize the fact that
President Biden last night signed the bipartisandeal that put forward by House Speaker Kevin
McCarthy to keep the government funded forforty five five days, just before a
(02:00):
government shut down was to go intoeffect. For those of you that may
not know, the fiscal year forthe federal government runs from October first through
September thirtieth, unlike others where theymay be via the calendar year January first
to December thirty first, or someare July first through June thirtieth, But
(02:23):
for the federal government, it isOctober first through September thirtieth, And so
that's why they're doing that now.In case you didn't know, all right,
President Biden said that enough is enough, This is not complicated. The
brinkmanship passed the end, and thereshouldn't be another crisis. There's no excuse
for another crisis, and there wasa crisis. The bill will fund the
(02:46):
government through November seventeenth and so justbefore Thanksgiving, unless they can come up
with another deal, we'll be backat this again. So you'll have the
House, which has a GOP majority, that will be fighting, and then
you'll have the Senate, which hasa Democratic majority fighting. Now this time
(03:10):
it passed the House with a Democraticvotes, which first of all, is
surprising, well, in some instancesis surprising. The House passed the bill
to fund the government through November seventeen, three hundred and thirty five to ninety
one, which was supported by moreDemocrats than it was Republicans. And that's
(03:36):
because the Republicans haveing a turf wargoing on, specifically between McCarthy and Representative
Matt Gets, which is actually ridiculous. And Matt Gets has promised to take
down McCarthy because McCarthy is, accordingto Gets, not playing on a level
(03:59):
playing field. So that happened justyesterday, and so we've got that issue
going on. And then also there'sthis whole issue with our former president Donald
J. Trump. You know,it's really funny. It's going to say
this, and I'm not going tohold back on this, but it's really
(04:20):
funny to me, and this iswhat I want to talk about. Kind
of when I get to coach Prime, and unfortunately I have to because you
know, this is just how itis in this country, all right.
Race has to come into it,okay. And when people say ask this
(04:41):
question, why do we have tobring race into it, the first thing
I tell him is that our foundingfathers of this nation brought race into it,
okay, from the very foundings,because they were fighting for freedom while
while enslaving others. Okay, solet's just be open and frank about it.
And I think this is one reasonwhy I we have so many problems
in America, in the United Statesof America between African Americans and whites.
(05:08):
Not all, but some is becausewe can't have frank speech and because some
people aren't willing to listen, okay, And then some people aren't willing to
acknowledge history. History cannot be retold. Oh yeah, there are people that
can lie about it, but thefact still remains, okay, that our
(05:28):
founding fathers wrote a declaration of independencefrom Great Britain because King George the Third
and the British Parliament were treating themhorribly, all right. And while they
were writing the declaration of independence,they were also enslaving black people to come
here to help build this country.So if we can't have a good discussion
(05:49):
about race, that is not thefault of black people. That is the
fault of those that don't want toacknowledge the fact that race has been a
part of our history since the inceptionof this country period. All right,
so let me start there. Now, let me go ahead and say this.
(06:12):
Donald Trump calls for people to beshot if they rob stores in terrifying
remarks that he made not long agoto a Republican Party convention in California.
And of course this is his waybecause he wants to win over Republicans in
California, you know, because hewants to have another shot at being the
president. What really confounds me isthis that here is an individual, the
(06:40):
first in the history of the presidencyto be indicted multiple times, okay,
not once, not on owns,okay, but multiple times, that any
one with any common sense will listento anything he has to say. But
again, I'm going to point toyou the racism that happens. Okay,
(07:04):
So now Donald Trump says that,you know, we will immediately stop all
of the pillaging and theft, verysimple, if you rob a store,
you can fully expect to be shotas you are leaving that store. Okay.
And he then said shot loudly okayfor added emphasis, drawing loud applause.
(07:27):
All right. Now, the hypocrisyin this was bought by a rapper
name Plaise. All Right. Hecalls out Donald Trump's hypocrisy over shooting looters.
And I'm gonna call out his hypocrisytoo, all right, because see
(07:48):
Kates shooting people that are pillaging outof a store. All right. But
when there was a white woman thatwas shot and killed because she illegally and
unlawfully broke into the Capitol during theJanuary six, twenty twenty one Capitol riots,
(08:09):
okay, and was shot by ablack police officer. The black police
officer was called a thug, andthe white woman that was was was rioting
was called a patriot. HM.So, now for those of you that
are lost and so lost in thekool aid of your racism that may not
(08:35):
understand what's going on here, that'scold. Okay. So the people in
California that are laughing and and andand not laughing but are applausing loudly,
see in their minds what they seeis looters that happened to be or or
pillagers as Donald Trump called them,that happened to be brown skinned or black.
(08:58):
Okay, Uh, that's what immediatelycomes into their minds. Because I
guarantee you if there was a crowdof white women that were looting or pillaging
stores and running out, those peoplethat were loudly clapping and Donald Trump would
not be saying that the police shouldbe shooting them. Let's just be honest
(09:24):
now, for those people that maybe listening that still have a degree of
racism flowing through your bloodstream, Iwant you to sit back and think about
this and be honest with yourself.Because see, some of you all go
and spend time in church on Sundays, okay, and you listen to the
sermon okay, and some of youmay maybe even read your Bibles. All
(09:48):
right, But then somehow or another, once you leave church service on Sunday
until the next church service, allof the stuff that you learned during the
service goes away. Okay, itjust does, Okay, somehow another the
racism perhaps leaves for an hour andthen comes back and oozes back up.
(10:11):
All right. I don't get it, but maybe I never will, and
I'm just editorializing, all right,But the fact still remains that forty five
hypocrisy is on display, on display. So he gave a talk after the
Capitol riot in January sixth, onJanuary sixth or twenty twenty one, where
(10:35):
he clearly stated that those people thatwere rioting, because that's what they were
doing, Okay, they were rioting. They broke in, Okay, the
United States Capital, not some littlestore in a neighborhood. The United States
Capitol. There's a difference. Thenthere's a difference between stealing something out of
(10:58):
Best Buy. There's a difference betweenstealing something out of Walgreens or any other
store than somebody breaking into the UnitedStates Capitol. In the nation's capitol.
Huh, there's a difference. Sowhen white people are able to break into
(11:22):
the United States Capitol, they arepatriots. And when a black police officer
tries to stop them and shoots oneof them because that person is about to
commit more of felonies and attack thepolice officers that I've barricaded themselves and others
behind doors, the police officer isa thug, and the other police officers,
(11:43):
the capitol police officers in the WashingtonDC Metro officers that were there,
they're thugs, but the rioters arepatriots. And yet there are still people
that plan on voting for this individualto be president. Again, the same
person were a judge last week ora week ago found his company guilty and
(12:07):
said, you know what, wedon't even need to have a trial.
Okay, And where Donald Trump isgetting his butt kicked along the Eastern seaboard
by two black women from New Yorkall the way down to Atlanta. Okay,
But yet he still looked upon assomeone that has influence. So we
(12:28):
can forgive the indictments and all ofthe ugly things that he says and has
done, because oh wow, DonaldTrump is a great patriot. You know,
he's a wonderful individual. He hasso much knowledge. He's a great
businessman, the same businessman that overinflatedthe cost of his businesses and his Marloga
(12:52):
home, which a judge found outabout the same person, which then makes
him a liar. Okay. Andnot only that, we know that he's
cheated on his wife and all theother things that have come. But yet
these same people hold him to highregard, the highest regard, and want
him to become president again. Allright, So I'm hoping that you'll see
(13:16):
the hypocrisy in Donald Trump and hisstatements. Okay, kill the loaders,
but don't shoot the people who stormedthe capitol. So what are you saying?
That's the cold? Okay, don'tshoot white people that are patriots that
(13:37):
are storming the capitol, but shootbrown and black people that might be pillaging
a local store. Something just doesnot seem right there. And again that's
me just using this little thing thata lot of people don't use anymore,
and it's called common sense. Allright. So right there, there's the
racism right there. So for thosepeople that ask the question, well,
(14:00):
why does race have to be inand everything? Then why don't you ask
your leaders? Okay, because theyare the ones that do this McCarthy,
Matt gets okay, Donald Trump,all right, these are the individuals that
indoctrinate people and make them think thatpeople of color are less than And we
(14:20):
know the true reasons why this isoccurring. Okay, we know why,
and you know why. Okay.And for those of you that don't know
why, all you have to dois look at the population. Okay.
Population is shifting, all right,so there will be more people of color
in this country than there will bewhite people in this country, and the
(14:41):
powers that be do not want thiscountry to see that radical change, and
it is happening even very quickly.All right. So now I want to
get to my main point because Iwant to talk about Coach Sanders, all
right, and I want to tryto piece these things together because I want
people understand exactly what the point thatI'm trying to make, all right,
(15:05):
And the point is this that historicallyin the United States, black men have
been dehumanized, all right. Blackboys have been demonized, all right,
whether it be considered brutish black brutesor animalistic or you know, this whole
(15:28):
notion that black men would exact sexualrevenge against white men through their daughters.
All of this ignorance, okay,has caused historically white mobs and malicious to
torture and kill black men quote unquotefor the interest of public safety. Okay.
(15:50):
So black men and black boys havebeen dehumanized, all right. You
can be a twelve year old blackboy but considered because someone thinks that you're
bigger, or you know, yourphysical appearance is larger a man, and
then that gives people the right tokill you. All Right, Black mobs
(16:11):
have lynched black men, especially whenthey were innocent, for things they did
not do. All Right, Blackboys, black men, their genitals have
been cut off, if they've beenburned, hung, all of these ugly
things that those that say, whydo we need to bring race into it
(16:33):
don't want to talk about, Okay, but you have to talk about those
things in order for us as anation to heal, Okay, because we'll
never heal. All of the painand all of the ugliness is going to
continue. And it has gotten worsein this nation in the last fifteen years,
(16:53):
all right, maybe even the lasttwenty years. It's gotten even worse
in this nation. So at onepoint I was under the impression that,
wow, as a nation, weare starting to get better as it relates
to racism, discrimination in the dehumanizingof black men and black boys. Okay,
But over the course of the lastten years or twenty years, as
(17:18):
I mentioned, I have seen theopposite. Okay, yeah, you know,
so there are more interracial couples.There were interracial couples back in the
eighteen hundreds. I mean, whitewomen loved the black black male slaves black
male white male slave owners often scootin and snuck into the cabins of white
of black female slaves. Okay,So interracial whatever you want to call it,
(17:42):
has been going on since the beginningsof America. It just was called
rape, okay, because the slaveshad no choice. You know, the
white people owned you, so theyhad all of the responsibility in the choice.
Black people did not. So ifyou didn't, then you know,
there was a cost to be playedto be paid. Rather, so there's
(18:06):
always been this sentiment, okay,that black people are less stand or they
need to be watched. And weknow this because you know, all we
have to do is look at howthe police or have police black people.
Okay, the over the history ofthis country. If we look back at
(18:30):
especially coming back through the nineteen fiftiesand nineteen sixties, when the country started
to shift a little bit, alot of the United States Supreme Court decisions
were based upon how African Americans hadbeen treated. Okay, I mean,
if we look at Tennessee versus Gardner, here's a white police officer in Memphis,
Tennessee, chasing an unarmed black youth, Okay, who was who allegedly
(18:53):
burglarized at home and shot him inthe back as he was because the white
officer couldn't catch him. Okay,And as a result of that, we
have a Supreme Court decision. Okay, because did we shoot little white boys
that are running away from the police, Oh heavens no. Well, then
we shouldn't shoot little black boys thatare running away from the police, because
(19:15):
we don't know why they're running.And if anything, with the history of
this nation, everyone should understand ifa black person runs from the police,
it's usually because they are scared ofwhat may happen to them. Now,
that's not to excuse black criminality,okay, because I never excused it.
(19:37):
And I worked as a law enforcementOFNCER on the streets of Chicago, okay,
and I have seen black people commitsome crimes, some real ugly ones,
and I've had black people run fromme, but never did I shoot
them in the back. Okay.So what I did was I made sure
that physically I was up to partso that I could chase them and catch
them, or our radio to anotherthe units so that they could help me
(20:00):
to catch them. Okay. Butsee, there are some people that don't
see black people as humans. Theysee them as targets, and so if
there's a target on their back,okay, well let me see if I
can hit the target, all right, because these are dehumanized individuals. Who's
gonna care if a black boy getskilled. Who's gonna care if a black
(20:25):
man gets killed? Until the adventof the cell phone camera. I said
all of that to finally get toPrime, which is really what I wanted
to talk about. All right,So let me tell you a little bit
about Dion Sanders, all right.And I know many of you all know
a lot about him, all right. But he was born on August ninth,
(20:48):
nineteen sixty seven, in Fort Myersto Connie Sanders and Mems Sanders.
His parents divorced when Coach Prime wastwo years old. He was raised by
his father and her new husband,Willie Knight, whom Sanders credits with being
influential in his life. He attendedNorth Myers High School and was a letterman
and All State honorary and football,basketball, and baseball. In nineteen eighty
(21:14):
five, Centers was named to theFlorida High School Association All Century Team,
which selected the top thirty three playersin the one hundred year history of high
school football in the state. TheKansas City Royals selected Centers out of North
Myers High School in the sixth roundof the nineteen eighty five Major League Baseball
Draft. However, he did notsign with the Royals. He enrolled at
(21:37):
Florida State University and played three sportsfor the Florida State Seminoles, football,
baseball, and track. Beginning inhis freshman year. He started in the
Seminoles secondary, played outfield for thebaseball team that finished fifth in the nation,
and helped lead the track in fieldteam to a conference conference championship.
(22:00):
All Right, that's just a littlebit about him. Okay, So let's
talk about his career, all right, and he has a lot to brag
about. So he played for FloridaState from nineteen eighty five to nineteen eighty
nine, the Atlanta Falcons from nineteeneighty nine to nineteen ninety three, the
(22:21):
San Francisco forty nine ers in nineteenninety four, he from nineteen ninety five
to nineteen ninety nine, the DallasCowboys two thousand, the Washington Redskins two
thousand and four to two thousand andfive, the Baltimore Ravens. All Right,
do I need to talk about hisbaseball career or well that is that
(22:42):
good enough football? But now let'stalk about his baseball career. So he
played for the New York Yankees fromnineteen eighty nine to nineteen ninety, the
Atlanta Braves from from ninety one toninety four, the Cincinnati Reds from ninety
fourty ninety five, the San FranciscoGiants in nineteen nine five, and the
Cincinnati Reds in nineteen ninety seven totwo thousand and one. All right,
(23:06):
so that's coach Primes baseball and footballcareer. As a coach, he's done
quite well, as you all knowright now. Of course he's at Colorado,
but he was someplace else before hegot to Colorado, right, So
let's talk about his coaching career.In two thousand and twelve and two thousand
(23:29):
thirteen, he was the head coachfor Prime Prep Academy, which is a
grouping of charter schools in Texas cofounded by Dion Sanders. And then after
that he played U He coached fora Triple A. From two thousand fifteen
to two thousand sixteen, he wasat Trinity Christian, which is a private
Christian school in Cedar Hill, Texas. From two thousand seventeen to two thousand
(23:52):
and twenty he was the offensive coordinator, and then from twenty twenty to twenty
twenty two he was the head coachat Jackson State University City, and of
course now he's at Colorado. He'sgot plenty of awards as a coach.
He won the Eddie Robinson Award intwo twenty one, the two times SWAT
Coach of the Year in two thousandtwenty one, in two thousand twenty two.
(24:15):
As a player, NFL Defensive Playerof the Year in nineteen ninety four,
NFL kickoff return yards leader in nineteenninety two, eight times Pro Bowl
nineteen ninety one to ninety four andninety six to ninety nine, Atlanta Falcon's
Ring of Honor, the Jim ThorpeAward, all of those things. I'm
not going to tell you everything thathe's one or all of his successes,
(24:37):
but I just wanted to bring thosethings to life, all right. So
now I just want to talk aboutCoach Prime, all right. Coach Prime
has a great leadership style, allright, but the hate for him is
very, very real, all right, and I feel he's been treated very
(24:59):
very unfairly as a coach, butalso as a person, all right.
And this brings me all the wayback to what I wanted, what I
started to talk about earlier, orwhat I brought up earlier, was talking
about Donald Trump in his style andDeon Sanders. So now Deon Sanders and
(25:21):
the Colorado Buffaloes are three and two, all right. They won their first
three games and have lost their firstThey've lost their last two games. All
right. I would argue that hehas the biggest hot in CU football history,
all right. But before he evenplayed his first game, before he
(25:41):
even stepped foot in Colorado, hehas dealt with the eels of hatred okay
online specifically, all right, andhis arrival in Boulder has drawn a lot
of opinions, specifically about the racismthat has played our country four generations.
(26:02):
While he hasn't done anything truly outof the normal, the underlying root cause
of white this hatred towards him won'twon't cease is clear. Uh. Sports
are a microcosm of real life,and unfortunately fan bases mirror who we are
as a society. This is us, all right. So Coach Prime has
(26:25):
been hated for a number of differentreasons, all right. Some people hated
him because when he left Jackson StateUniversity, he was called a sellout.
Okay, and that's a problem blackpeople have and one in which we in
the black community need to solve.Okay, because just because he left Jackson
State to go to a white universitydoes not make him a sell out.
(26:48):
That makes him smart, all right. He could only do so much at
Jackson State University. Only so much, all right, only so much,
And he has a right to grow, all right. There's a lack of
resources in Mississippi. I mean,what was he supposed to do? This
(27:11):
was an opportunity for him to moveto a bigger program and also to have
a bigger impact on young people.His ceiling was capt at JSU, with
no room to do much more elsethan he already did. Colorado wasn't a
perfect opportunity for him, but theresources and support to be a top contender
(27:33):
were there for him, all right. They were there for him. So
he continues to face this criticism,not only from his peers as head coaches
in college football, and especially thatidiot at Colorado State University. I mean,
here's a black man attack and anotherblack man just because he wants to
wear some glasses. That was justso silly. And you know, I
(27:55):
hope we never ever hear from that, that Colorado State University head coach again.
I mean, that was just that. I mean, I just put
on display the ignorance that sometimes goeson in the black community when we get
egotistical and jealous of somebody else.All right, And I'm so happy that
the Colorado Buffs beat Colorado Stay tunedbecause Coach Prime needed to send a message
(28:17):
to that idiot because that was ridiculous. Be supportive. Just because a man
wears sunglasses or whatever at a pressconference does not put him underneath you.
That's just you being silly. That'sjust you being jealous and envious, and
that's ridiculous. But anyway, CoachPrim still gets a lot of flak.
(28:41):
Some people have told him to shutup and play the game or coach the
game. All right. But seeas I relate this back to Donald Trump,
those people that support him treat himso differently, okay, And I
don't want to be criticized for,you know, comparing coaching football to being
(29:06):
the president of the United States,because that's not what I'm doing. What
I'm doing is I'm looking at andI'm trying to dissect the ignorance on how
some people, certain people get criticizedfor speaking up, for being positive,
for doing the right thing, okay, and then other people can say the
silliest things, and their background andthe things that they're doing have done lately
(29:33):
aren't criticized, but yet they getthe attention that they should not deserve.
So Donald Trump gets all of thisthis attention. He can say what he
wants to and then half the countryresponds to him positive. Okay. He
can come out and say that theblack countries in the world are shiphole countries.
(29:56):
Okay, but then nobody talks abouthim and how he's run his companies
okay, which happened to be shittyas well according to a judge. Okay.
He can call out people that arestealing from stores, which nobody thinks
is correct, nobody says is right. But so now have we gotten to
(30:21):
the point in this country where nowpeople that are stealing so we're going to
shoot them? Hm? You know, it reminds me of this story that
I read in the Bible once,and there was a group of individuals that
were about to stone a woman becausethey accused her of adultery, and they
(30:52):
were saying awful things about her,and she was standing there taking them,
not responding, but knowing that theend of her life was near. Now
all of the ugliness is directed towardsher, none of the ugliness is directed
towards the man that she was committingadultery with. Okay, So now Jesus
(31:18):
is there, and Jesus witnesses this, witnesses this, and he starts writing
in the dirt or in the sandnear where the woman is. And so
he looks up at those individuals thatare about to stone her, and he
simply says to them in the HebrewAramaic language, in a sense, in
(31:45):
our paraphrase, those of you thatare guilty of nothing, have never committed
sin in your life. Here,here's a stone. You be the first
to throw it at her. Andaccording to what I read, these individuals
looked down and probably look stupid,and looked silly, and turned and walked
(32:09):
away with their tails between their legs. All right. And so then Jesus
looked at the woman and said,go and sin no more. So he
acknowledges that what she perhaps did wasnot right, But then he sends off
these individuals that are ready to stoneher in another direction. And I say
(32:35):
that to say this that black menquite often, okay, quite often,
are accused, are often accused wrongfully, Okay, have been castigated. And
I know a lot of this becauseI have personally dealt with this. Okay.
So if you're sure of yourself,then you're conceit. If you are
(33:01):
get good grades or you know,if you really strive to be the best
at whatever it is you do,whether it be in law enforcement or education
or business or whatever it is,Okay, then people see you as being
arrogant, okay, or they wonderhow did you get to this point?
(33:22):
Did you have a helping hand?All right? All the time, black
men, black women go through thisso often, okay, so often we
are not seen as equal. Weare seen as less than. I can
have a myriad of degrees, butstill I'm not seen as equal to a
(33:43):
white person that has a high schooldiploma. And I'm just talking education.
Okay. If I'm at a sceneof an incident, the police may walk
up to the white person and askthem what happened first, and not ask
me, because see, I maybe seen as maybe just a bystander,
or I maybe the person that's they'recomplaining about. I know this, I
(34:07):
was a cop. I know thishappens all the time, all right,
But yet there as individuals and thisis the hypocrisy that I'm talking about,
and why people ought to leave CoachSanders alone, because this is a man
that tells his players to treat womenwomen with respect. This is a man
(34:28):
that tells his players that they cando when sometimes they not don't believe that
they can. This is a manthat holds him to self up with highest
team, but holds up his playersas well. Here is a man that
is a father and that loves hischildren and supports his children. And what's
wrong with him being his own biggestsupporter Because as a child, there was
(34:49):
no one there to support him,so he is his biggest supporter. What's
wrong with that? Well, there'snothing wrong with it unless you happen to
be an African American. Because DonaldTrump has done this exact same thing.
He holds himself up high, andpeople respond to him. Those people that
really like him and care for him, they hold him up in the highest
esteem, even though he has beencriminally indicted from New York all the way
(35:15):
down to Atlanta. He still heldin the highest esteem. He's not considered
conceited or arrogant. He can callfor the shooting of individuals. This is
an individual that was the president ofthe United States, what is supposed to
be the greatest nation on earth.But yet he calls for the killing of
(35:40):
unarmed citizens that are stealing people stealWell, according to the courts, so
has he. And that's probably whyhe's been indicted multiple times, all right,
because of what he says and whathe's done, and in some instance,
what he has not done. Sowhy don't we give coach Prime a
(36:02):
break? Why don't we let himdo what he's supposed to do. Why
don't we do what people always saythat they want to do, and that
is take race out of the equationand let the man coach, but also
let the man be who he is, talk as he wants bring to the
(36:23):
football stadium who he wants to.So if he wants to bring black celebrities
to the football games and they're surroundinghim, what's wrong with that? Because
I see a whole I see awhole sea of white faces out there too,
And nobody has a problem with that. No one has a problem when
it's all white, But then theyhave a problem when it's all black.
(36:44):
Then what might be what might happen? You know, could there be looting,
could they be rioting, could therebe anything? And then I say,
well, January six, twenty twentyone, you know, and then
if you want to go back further, how about we go back to the
(37:05):
beginnings of this country. Because peoplesee, this is what Donald Trump doesn't
know. See he thinks that,oh, well, people that are looting
and rioting and all of that.You know, these people, especially people
of color, they're wrong. Butsee, that's the same way Great Britain
felt back at the inception of thisnation. See Great Britain felt that it
(37:29):
was wrong for you to dress asNative Americans and dump forty five tons of
tea into the Boston Harbor. Okay, but see you didn't like how they
were being TechEd, how you werehow the colonists didn't like how they were
being text Okay, so that's whatthey did. Okay, when there was
a Declaratory Act, when there wasa stamp Act, when there were the
(37:49):
Townshend Acts. Okay, See thecolonists revolted, they looted, they what
protested, and Great Britain didn't likeit and responded. Okay. But see
back then that was okay. Itwas okay to stand up to something that
was wrong, okay. And thenGreat Britain was chastised during the Boston massacre
(38:17):
when five colonists were killed. Okay, huh huh. This is where I
begin to hear crickets, because whenyou throw history back and say, you
know what, this country was foundedon revolution, This country was founded on
(38:37):
protests. This country was founded onlooting. This country was founded on dumping,
stealing tea and dumping it into theBoston harbor. This country was founded
on smuggling okay, items into thecountry to get around Texas. Huh.
But see that was okay because seewe declared independent. All right. So
(39:02):
when people go into a store andsteal our own citizens, all right,
perhaps that's their way of protesting.All right. Maybe some of the policies
of our nation that steal are rootedin hypocrisy and racism. And that's not
to justify stealing, because I'm not. But see, we also couldn't justify
(39:25):
the dumping of tea into the BostonHarbor because see, technically that wasn't right
either. Yeah, there was notaxation without representation. But guess what what
you do is you take a shipfrom Pennsylvania, or from Boston or from
Virginia over to Parliament and you protestthere. All right. So what's good
(39:53):
for the goose is good for thegander. But when a certain type of
people do it, it's okay.But when another type of people do it,
then it's not okay. And that'swhere I found the hypocrisy in Donald
Trump, and that's where I foundthe hypocrisy sometimes in our nation. And
that's why this whole issue of racewill not be solved until we deal finally
(40:20):
with the truths okay, And thetruth is that there are people in this
nation that do not like black menin leadership positions and positions of power.
And Deon Sanders happens to be aperson like that, and he happens to
be someone that really doesn't care whatyou think, and people hate him for
(40:40):
that, and that is so unfortunate, so unfortunate. Please check out my

Our Heart Radio, Amazon Podview,and so many more. This is
Jaden Miller. I want you tothink about all of the things that I
just mentioned today, and again I'mjust telling you how I feel. You
know, you don't have to agree. I'm sure some of you will and
some of you all won't. Butif you really really just sit down and
(41:27):
don't listen to the hype and reallyreally use some common sense, I think
most of you would agree. Gosh, we can do so much better.
We can do so much better asa country. We can judge people fairly.
And when black people have positions ofpower and have positions of leadership,
(41:47):
we need to learn to support themand not want to quiet them. Because
now they're talking, and then they'reshowing sharing, and then they're showing how
good they are and how they're pumpingup a program, especially one that was
one in eleven last season. Butyet he's dealing with all of this criticism.
Why not support him? Use yourvoice, okay, because believe it
(42:09):
or not, white people still havepower in this country, and you can
use it for good or you canuse it for bad, because your voice
is much louder than blacks. Andif you use it for good, then
it can certainly help a whole lotof people climb up out of this racism.
And I've always said that racism canend very very quickly if white people
(42:30):
would stop being silent, that's numberone. But then also speak up when
we need you to speak up.Okay, you can't always be silent.
You want to run and hide whenit has something to do with race,
okay, But when someone that isof a different race does something wrong,
then I can see you the Karen'scoming out, Okay, Then I can
(42:51):
see you on the news criticizing.Stop the criticism, and how about a
little bit more support? All right? Once again, this is Think About
It with Jaden Miller. Check outmy website at www dot Jadenmiller dot com.
I will see you on the nextpodcast episode. Have a wonderful day.
