1:12
of who you are, what you have going
1:14
on in Georgia,
1:16
and
1:16
everything that is in between? Sure.
1:19
Yeah. I'll give a brief introduction so we we can
1:21
get you all to ask some ask some questions.
1:23
but my name is King Randall. I'm twenty
1:26
twenty three years old now. I'm the founder
1:28
of the life purbitory school for boys and s
1:30
for boys program. These programs
1:32
I started when I was nineteen years old, teaching
1:34
boys how to work on cars, work on houses,
1:37
how to grow their own food, doing a fire
1:39
arms training, welding, etcetera,
1:42
taking them across the country, just trying
1:44
to teach, you know, boys in the city of Albany, Georgia
1:46
area, how to be a man.
1:48
And, you know, we started boarding children.
1:51
I started boarding them at my home to begin
1:53
with before I opened the school, and
1:56
seeing the children making the changes that they
1:58
were making, seeing them not wanting
1:59
to be in their conditions and seeing them just
2:02
turn into, you know, upstanding your
2:04
young man is where I knew I definitely needed to
2:06
open the school because of the changes I was making
2:08
with just a few. So here we are
2:10
today, the live purpository school, we're boys,
2:13
all boys school is completely
2:15
free. No government funding. We
2:17
don't answer it to anybody. We teach our
2:19
boys what they need to know. So there, which is,
2:21
again, twenty four seven. No no
2:23
charge to their parents. We completely run off
2:25
donations. No government funding at
2:27
all. We just simply raise money every
2:30
week. to keep our boys taken
2:32
care of and to continue running our school.
2:35
So it's just those to show, you know, for people
2:37
who say they can't do it or it was
2:39
too hard, you can. I
2:41
opened this you know, when I was nineteen
2:43
and the school's opened now, you know, so I believe
2:45
anybody can do it if you just really want
2:47
to So just gotta start somewhere. But
2:49
that's kind of a brief introduction of who I am
2:51
and what I do.
2:52
Real quick before I ask you my next
2:54
question, let people know what it can donate.
2:56
wanna get that out the way and do it, you know.
2:59
Sure. Yeah. They can donate the x for
3:01
boys dot org. That's THEXF0RB0YS
3:05
dot org. Okay. So where
3:07
do you get the passion for something like this? So
3:09
take this kind of back to your upbringing
3:11
because nineteen is super young. they
3:14
don't have this type of passion. Let alone
3:16
have the passion bringing into fruition. I
3:18
mean, it's, like, it's extraordinary. So talk about,
3:20
you know, up bringing in the passion to even
3:22
get this type of school going? Absolutely.
3:24
While I was raising a fool family, had
3:27
grandfather's uncles, stepfather,
3:30
My ex had two stepfathers. My mom on
3:32
the voice of my first stepfather when I was about thirteen,
3:34
and then I have my current stepfather right now.
3:37
but these men helped mold and
3:39
train and raise me into who I am.
3:41
So growing up, I learned how to do a plethora
3:43
of things with my former stepdad. He was more of
3:45
a country guy. and my grandbads
3:47
and uncles, you know, I learned how to lay bricks
3:50
and fix cars and grow
3:52
food. We did all this growing
3:54
up. My we we ate everything from the garden.
3:56
Like, we would go outside and pick what we wanted
3:58
to eat growing up.
3:59
We killed our food. We scant
4:02
our food. We we done it all growing
4:04
up.
4:05
We grew all types of different fruit trees in
4:07
the backyard. My mom would, you know,
4:09
have some of the kids around the neighborhood. She
4:11
cooked for them and we had, like, bible
4:13
studies some nights and some time with the kids.
4:15
Like, we just do a whole lot of stuff. My mom's been
4:17
a foster parent my whole life. I'm a mom's
4:20
only child. She's actually not supposed to be able
4:22
to have children, but somehow somehow I
4:24
popped up. But she's never been able to
4:26
bear children again after
4:28
me. and, you know, I guess I'm
4:30
just a miracle baby for her. And, you
4:32
know, I don't have that no story, no crazy
4:34
story. And then like that, I just grew up in a decent
4:36
home. you know, and my current stepfather
4:38
now, he's more of the the
4:41
the shirt and tie guy. So he he's
4:43
he's a white credit for helping me be able to,
4:45
like, give interviews and do things like
4:47
that. So I had a countryside of me, and
4:49
then I got the the professional side
4:51
of me, you know, where I can, you know, turn it on
4:53
and off and be able to teach. know, the
4:55
students how to do these things, you know, how to get
4:57
your hands dirty, but also go put on a
4:59
certain time and go do what you can do in a
5:01
business world too. So that's,
5:03
you know, important to me, but definitely
5:05
just a full family helped raise
5:07
me. And the passion came from
5:10
just not seeing a lot of young men,
5:12
you know, as I got older
5:15
that don't know how to do all the things that
5:17
I can. I thought that was normal because
5:19
you know, my dad and my stuff that they taught,
5:21
like, the other kids in the neighborhood how to do this stuff. So
5:23
I'm thinking everybody somewhere is doing this
5:25
stuff and I get older in the watching
5:27
these day's boys not be able to read and write
5:29
and and one of my classmates got
5:32
sentenced to thirty years in prison after
5:34
a murder that happened here in my hometown.
5:37
his younger brother committed a murder,
5:39
and he told his brother to hide the
5:41
weapon, but the big brother wasn't at
5:43
the actual actual,
5:45
you know, scene. and they
5:47
charged him with, you know,
5:50
tampering with evidence or whatever, and they gave
5:52
him thirty years for that. And, you
5:54
know, and no no type of rehabilitation programs
5:56
here except for hours in South Georgia,
5:59
you know. So I was just like, well, how are we
6:01
expecting these children to to
6:03
become better if they're going to jail and
6:05
going right back. And there is no type of rehabilitation
6:07
for them, no type of programs to help
6:10
curb that recidivism rate. So
6:12
that's where I came in. And I was just like, I'm just gonna
6:14
start something. I started out with a field trip.
6:16
I started out doing oil change workshops,
6:18
started out doing break change workshops, and
6:20
then it just took off from there. And
6:22
that's where that passion came from. Just seeing
6:24
the children actually changing after I started
6:26
working with them. I was listening
6:28
to an interview you were conducting in
6:31
I remember you saying along the lines
6:33
of the school system in Georgia are
6:35
just passing these children through -- Mhmm. -- when
6:37
again, in obtaining high school degrees
6:40
and high school diplomas without even
6:42
having the ability to read or
6:44
write and being illiterate. Talk about
6:46
how the current school system is in Georgia
6:48
and how that motivated you to
6:50
do what you're doing right now as well?
6:52
Well, for one, I originally
6:54
before we were opening our school, we
6:57
were trying to buy a school building from our
6:59
local schools. It's system. Right. Our
7:01
local school system had a few buildings
7:03
that were up for demolition. They're still
7:05
up for demolition. And, you
7:07
know, I reached out got to buy one of them,
7:09
and we've got into negotiations about a
7:11
seven month negotiation process with
7:13
them. It became a
7:15
little hectic trying to work with
7:17
them and trying to, you know, develop a
7:19
partnership because they wanted to partner with
7:21
us. And, you know, they were gonna provide
7:23
us with school buses and and teachers
7:25
and stuff to help our curriculum, like,
7:27
just some type of program where they will be
7:29
dual learning and role in the public school as
7:31
well as with us, they will receive a diploma
7:33
from us, so we could teach what we want to teach and how
7:35
we want to teach it. That's what how it was
7:37
sold to us in the beginning. and we got
7:39
a contract back that said that we cannot
7:41
open a private or charter
7:43
school out of that location unless they talk
7:45
the cool curriculum. And I'm like, that's not where we're
7:47
going with this. We're trying to open our
7:49
own school to teach what we want to teach, not what
7:51
to want to teach. If that's the case, we're just opening
7:53
another branch of the GoToKines School System. That's
7:55
not how this is about to go. So,
7:57
anyway, we got into a big
7:59
chain with them about that contract.
8:01
A lot of things happened with
8:04
their newspaper articles,
8:06
news interviews. It was a
8:08
a bad time. At that time,
8:11
people accused me of different things, and
8:13
people were not allowing me to tell my side of the
8:15
story because you know, they had the
8:17
media in their pocket. I'm just this twenty one
8:19
year old kid at the time where they think he's just
8:21
dumb and just doing whatever, but
8:23
they thought I was dumb. you know,
8:25
so that was that was the the issue
8:27
I had with them. And right
8:29
now, the the school system,
8:31
right now, in all being, we have the highest
8:33
graduate graduation rate in
8:35
the state. And these children
8:38
are graduating, but only
8:40
thirty nine percent of them are graduating
8:42
proficient in reading. like, nineteen percent of them are
8:44
graduating proficient in math. These children
8:46
essentially can't read and write or do math, but
8:48
they're graduating. That's that's the part we're
8:50
excited about. I don't understand how we could
8:52
see those statistics and
8:54
then not have a complete overhaul
8:56
of the whole school system
8:58
because how exactly is that happening? I'm having
9:00
children in my program. Every last one of the children at
9:02
the school right now are behind. Every single last
9:04
one of them, all of them
9:06
have trouble writing. All of them have trouble
9:09
reading. And they're, you know, in in a on
9:11
the four grade level, in my opinion, third
9:13
grade level, in my opinion, on reading and writing, they're
9:15
supposed to be in the sixth grade. but we're
9:17
trying to catch them up to where they're
9:19
supposed to be. But that's what we're looking
9:21
at, you know, in our local schools
9:23
right now and the discipline issues.
9:25
people every time we go somewhere, people always, like, how
9:27
can I get my children to act like your
9:29
students? I'm just like, it's simple discipline. It's
9:31
nothing crazy. When I have them who now we
9:33
wanna do. is just simple discipline and having
9:35
expectations for for them. They
9:37
go to school, have no rules, they go there and do
9:39
whatever they wanna do, and
9:41
there's there's no consequences for
9:43
anything. you know, is is is that sir,
9:45
you know, and teachers can't even teach because they
9:47
have the discipline on all. They have to keep
9:49
calling the school resource officer and they got forty
9:51
kids in a classroom and they could barely keep
9:53
with all of them. Like, it's a lot. It is
9:56
a lot. You know, that I can dig
9:58
into, but that's the game. I mean, that's
9:59
where we at. Talk
10:01
about how you came up.
10:03
with
10:03
the curriculum. Like,
10:05
you take us through that whole process? Sure.
10:08
Well, for one, we just use a basic
10:10
curriculum. I don't think there's anything wrong with
10:12
the curriculum at normal schools. It's
10:14
just the discipline and the teachers. The
10:16
teachers people
10:19
people dog on teachers a lot.
10:21
but people don't know at a teacher
10:23
how difficult it is to to deal in
10:25
a school system that's not
10:27
helping you either. So people
10:29
don't look at the teacher's side of the
10:31
perspective when we're talking
10:33
about schools. Teachers often, you
10:35
know, are abused as school, they are
10:37
verbally abused, physical abuse,
10:39
etcetera, and they're not understanding
10:41
that nothing happens to
10:43
these students or nothing is happening
10:45
for these teachers to be able to trust their
10:47
school systems, etcetera. So all they can
10:49
do is push these kids through school. But
10:51
you'll hear news report immediately
10:53
about a teacher, maybe snapping
10:55
on a student and hitting them or whatever
10:57
like that. I've seen so many stories
10:59
where, like, every day where students
11:01
are doing atrocities to teachers
11:03
throwing it high hot boiling water
11:05
on them and and fighting them and
11:07
stab them and throwing their skin. This
11:09
is happening at our schools every day. These our
11:11
schools are complete jungles. you know, and
11:13
nobody talks about how our teachers have to
11:15
deal with these things. But the moment that teacher
11:17
snaps in and and does something to
11:19
a kid or hits them back or whatever, then
11:21
it's a new story. talk about how these
11:23
students are also sexually abusing and
11:25
sexually touching their teachers. And but
11:27
it's a teacher of if a teacher were to do something
11:29
to a student, you know, it it
11:31
get put all over TV, just check chastising
11:34
or whatever, but we're not talking about how these
11:36
students are doing these same things to teachers, and teachers are
11:38
reporting these to these school systems, and that's
11:40
happening. So we're not talking about that
11:42
side of the spectrum either in regards to
11:44
talking about teacher student relationships.
11:47
So, I mean, definitely speaking
11:49
about teachers is is huge for
11:51
me because we don't we don't talk about those things.
11:53
And these are other reasons why teachers
11:55
push, you know, kids
11:57
through school. I won't say every teacher
11:59
is is out
11:59
here wanting to be a great teacher, etcetera.
12:02
But after a while, you go into
12:04
teaching the business and you're wanting to be a
12:06
great teacher, etcetera. Then you get there.
12:08
No support. Nobody have in
12:10
your back. No barely
12:11
getting paid good. no
12:14
funding, etcetera. All of
12:16
this combined, you know,
12:18
is a issue.
12:19
So I definitely, you know, like to be
12:21
a teacher advocate Also because I have so many
12:23
teachers in our local school system whom
12:25
are supporters of what we do, whom
12:27
want to come teach at our school.
12:29
I just can't afford to pay them right now. You know,
12:31
but they're just like, how can you help
12:34
us get out of where we at? because I
12:36
cannot teach here with these kids.
12:38
Like, it it is terrible, and I
12:40
understand it. I know it. I I just
12:42
graduated five years ago. I knew exactly
12:44
what was going on in school. knew exactly
12:46
what was going at that time. I knew what was
12:48
happening, who was doing what, and
12:50
literally five years removed, it is so
12:52
much worse every time I go to the school now, like, go
12:54
pick up my younger brother. He's at the same high
12:56
school. I was there. I go pick him up and it
12:58
is terrible there. Like, these kids,
13:00
and school air drop in sex tapes
13:02
and all that stuff like this, man.
13:04
Look, man. It's and then they just
13:06
gave the kid's MacBooks at school,
13:08
so not a ad drop in. People say say
13:10
it's all through the school and ad drop in
13:12
porn and I like and you
13:14
can't. There is no lock you can put on
13:16
it. These kids don't break into the
13:18
laptops and all that stuff like, bro. Like,
13:20
just remove all that technology period.
13:22
Like, because we don't do that here. You know, you're not
13:24
allowed to cell phone, any of that stuff. You're gonna
13:27
write on his paper you're gonna read his book,
13:29
you know, like normal people, you earn
13:31
phone time, you earn time to go play
13:33
video games. We're not giving you no
13:35
tablets, you're not getting no no no time
13:37
to go on the computer. There's no social media
13:39
period here because there's a it's a
13:41
detriment to our kids and people
13:43
will know, argue with me about that on
13:45
social media in regards to children having a cell
13:47
phone, but there is not enough prose that you
13:49
can give me for the cause of a child having a
13:51
cell phone. Absolutely not. I don't think any
13:53
child under the age of sixteen, seventeen years
13:55
old even needs a cell phone and or
13:57
social media. They only need to be able to
13:59
reach out to you and say,
13:59
hey, I'm here. which is a simple flip phone
14:02
if that and honestly, none of my
14:04
parents had cell phones growing up and they did
14:06
just fine going to school, you know, and and
14:08
and being where it was supposed to be at.
14:10
you know, so but that's where we are and
14:12
that's why we have a board in school because we ain't gotta worry about
14:14
them having to be transported back home and
14:17
we'll and they they earn phone time to talk
14:19
to their parents or whatever like that. And that's
14:21
how that works with. Man, teacher
14:23
advocacy is is is something we
14:25
have to talk about. very
14:28
powerful. Now, I was on your Twitter
14:30
yesterday as a matter of fact, and I've seen some things
14:32
going on. Obviously, there's a lot of good
14:34
that comes what you're doing. There's also a lot of
14:36
hurdles that you have to cross some things you gotta
14:38
deal with being -- Mhmm. -- type of brother that
14:40
you are doing, the type of thing you're doing for the
14:42
type of young men you're doing them for. Mhmm. So
14:44
talk about the things you're going through. I've seen, I'll
14:46
read the tweet out verbatim. People continue to
14:48
call the authorities on our school as if
14:50
we're criminals. that came to quote unquote
14:52
inspector office. We weren't present. Twenty
14:54
minutes later, we see someone coming
14:56
under our gate. Thank you to those
14:58
who help us fight in the system. Can you speak
15:00
on that brother? Yeah.
15:02
So, man, it's it's so interesting.
15:04
Most of the time, we always talking
15:07
about, you know, who's heard of those and what's
15:09
happening, and literally almost all the pushback
15:11
that I've gotten for opening our
15:13
school or all the people keep calling to
15:15
and to report us is all black people,
15:17
and it irritates me so bad.
15:19
because I'm just like, why? But it
15:21
usually, it it was before because
15:23
I used to be very outspoken about
15:26
what was happening in our community, what needed to
15:28
be done, and who was not doing it.
15:30
And so with me opening the school,
15:33
it eradicated all the excuses
15:35
that everybody who's been here, who's been an
15:37
activist forever, he he
15:39
write, he all those excuses that they given
15:41
about why things couldn't happen or why they couldn't
15:43
do what they did. how can can can can
15:45
around who can do it at twenty two, twenty three years
15:47
old, and y'all been saying it forever.
15:49
The biggest, nicest building in this city
15:51
is a church. or whatever. And these
15:53
churches could be opening schools and and
15:55
land banks and and and can
15:57
in food, and growing food,
15:59
etcetera, why are we trying to do these things
16:01
readily community. Why?
16:03
Because these churches, these these
16:05
organizations, whatever, they get grants
16:07
for the cities being in turmoil.
16:09
they can't apply for a grant if the city is not poor.
16:11
They can go apply for this grant because this
16:13
city needs this, so they get this
16:15
particular grant and do maybe a little something
16:17
for it. or whatever, but not enough to
16:19
not get that grant again next year. You
16:21
know? So they do all these grant writing and get
16:23
his money and keep getting his money and keep
16:25
getting his money for the city brand
16:27
turmoil. So if anybody tries to come
16:29
and revitalize the city, then it
16:31
loses the money because they can't
16:33
say or give these statistics about
16:35
how terrible the city is. You
16:37
know? So people have been calling, you know,
16:39
to report us and and check and
16:41
see what we're doing they blah, but they
16:43
can't come in here without a warrant. I said that multiple
16:45
times, you cannot come in our facilities without a warrant. You
16:47
know, and we've already been approved and
16:49
inspected for our building already. so
16:51
there's nothing else that you guys didn't come see. I don't care
16:53
how many times they report. Unless you have a warrant, you
16:55
will not be stepping foot in our in our school. But
16:57
I would love if y'all come with a warrant, I would love
17:00
to record y'all come up here with the police and all
17:02
that stuff just to come look at us having
17:04
school in a freaking building like we're doing something.
17:06
Meanwhile, we got people right
17:08
outside in his neighborhood that sell
17:10
drugs and murders that still aren't being
17:12
solved and all of that, but mind you,
17:14
I'm out here trying to teach kids how to be man teaching them
17:16
and taking them on field trips and showing them,
17:18
you know, how to grow their own food and
17:20
teaching them how to fix cars and all that.
17:22
Never mind. That called the police on
17:24
me. You can't call the authorities on people that
17:26
you need to be calling them on or wanna inspect some
17:28
of these schools that are not up to cold,
17:30
etcetera. So that's that's where we ask.
17:32
So people definitely keep calling. I don't
17:34
care. We're gonna keep our thing. We have all of our ducks in
17:36
a row. So as long as they keep calling, we're gonna keep
17:39
schooling, and we're gonna keep taking
17:41
more students. You said something that
17:43
kinda made me wanna ask you this question a few
17:45
moments ago. Mhmm. Talk about, you know,
17:47
eliminating all these excuses, why people can't open
17:49
up school. Are you familiar Johnson
17:51
by any chance? Yes. I am. He's
17:53
been trying to open the school for a
17:55
long time. Do you have any perspective on
17:58
that? Yes. Let's give a talk to
17:59
you. Yeah. He's
18:01
been raising money since
18:03
I was about in the fourth grade, I believe.
18:06
But I have no words to say about that to
18:08
Omar? That's it. it Awesome.
18:11
Yes, sir. So also in in doing
18:14
research, obviously, like I said earlier, we
18:16
met you or had an opportunity to hear you
18:18
speak live out at the online concert convention in
18:20
Orlando, Florida shut out to doctor Boyse from home that
18:22
event? Yes. Yes, sir. as
18:24
doing research, I noticed that
18:26
it seems as though, and I'm gonna get a little
18:29
political. A lot of conservative TV
18:31
stations allow you to platforms to at least speak what you
18:33
wanna say. This is just for me. I don't have AAA political
18:35
line down anything. I'm sitting right down the
18:37
middle. And I noticed a lot of the the
18:39
pro Democratic kinda now
18:41
channels. They
18:42
the shit
18:43
on you for lack of a better time. They they dissed
18:45
you. They they -- Yep. -- destroyed
18:47
your name. And I was like, wow.
18:49
The thing I was doing you would
18:51
think reflect the ideals of what exactly why we're trying
18:53
to get somebody in office. They're trying to elevate
18:55
black people. But then when you look at
18:58
it, they go out way insult you. And everything
19:00
that goes along the lines of when we see
19:02
a lot of our hip hop,
19:06
cockametic, urban type of celebrity
19:08
mountain or the Democratic Party
19:10
come election time. Mhmm. And it
19:12
probably begs the question on what's really
19:14
going on. So what on my
19:16
original question on how do you feel about the
19:18
conservative platforms that you would think wouldn't
19:20
give you anything a live chance to speak with a
19:22
Democrat, where you think they would.
19:24
insult you and and don't darling your
19:26
name. You know, what's crazy is, I
19:28
think in two thousand and twenty, president
19:30
Trump invited me and the kids to the
19:32
White House, surprisingly. At that
19:35
time, I was anti Trump anti
19:37
whatever, and one of the White House staffers saw
19:39
what we were doing on Twitter. Mind you,
19:41
I didn't have any followers at the time. I
19:43
but they just happened to see what we were doing because one of my
19:46
post went viral, I was sharing teaching the boys how
19:48
to do sheet rock in an apartment complex.
19:50
And we got invited to the White House great
19:52
experience, had a blast. That
19:54
was some of my boys first plane
19:56
ride. It was a super nice hotel
19:58
and all this stuff. I mean, we had
19:59
a blast, but while we were there and
20:02
like to see the the love that
20:04
we were getting because do
20:06
understand things happen on
20:08
both sides that
20:11
that
20:11
when we listen to it in the media,
20:13
it gets screwed up because of how
20:15
the media wants us to view a certain
20:17
person or whatever like that. So take
20:20
a look at Donald Trump
20:22
or whatever. If you ever
20:24
go watch a unedited speak
20:26
to him. Like, just watch one full hour. I'm not saying y'all like a minute.
20:28
Just watch one full hour. And then
20:31
watch what TV say
20:33
these days. and we were there
20:35
at the speech he gave.
20:36
And what he said versus what we
20:39
heard back on social media when we started scrolling
20:41
like, well, that's not what he said. He wasn't
20:43
saying that. Oh, wait. That's that's not what he said.
20:45
Even my voice, but they was like, they we
20:47
was there, and that's not what they say it on
20:49
Instagram. I'm like, I know. this is
20:51
what they do, but they also do this to
20:53
democrats side too. So you got
20:55
conservatives who will go listen to a full speech
20:57
to what the democrats say, and then they'll chop
20:59
up their speech And then, like, look at what the
21:01
democrats said, I'm like, ah, bro, that ain't
21:03
what he really said. You know, so it's
21:05
it's a game they both play trying to keep
21:07
people, you know, spread apart. Mhmm.
21:09
But I don't care whose platform I go on. I
21:11
don't care who it accepts me. I don't care if took her
21:13
cars and call me or Charlotte Man, call me. I'm gonna
21:15
go on everybody's show. to
21:17
give my message. My my goal is to give the message. I
21:19
mean, it resonates with both sides. I don't
21:21
care who you are. Now, we will say more
21:24
conservatives like
21:26
my message because of I'm I'm
21:28
traditional. I'm not wit none of the
21:30
LGBT stuff or whatever. I'm not
21:32
letting my boys say they wanna be a
21:34
girl. I don't mind. And I I will say I don't mind
21:36
them being a homosexual. I said I
21:38
have a problem to one to be a girl. There's a
21:41
difference. I don't what you decide to do in the bedroom. That
21:43
has nothing to do with me. I don't care what you decide to do.
21:45
At the end of the day, your schedule preference is literally
21:47
what you decide to do in the
21:49
bedroom. I don't care to go around telling people what I decide to do in the
21:51
bedroom. It's like me saying, I like girls all day. I
21:53
don't care. I don't care. I do
21:55
have a student that is almost actually where he
21:58
like, fifteen. He's like, I'm like, what? I don't
21:59
care. You're still going to learn how to be a
22:02
man. You're still going to learn how
22:04
to read. You're still going to learn how to write. I don't
22:06
treat no different. one of my favorite kids. I
22:08
don't mind it. The boys don't bother
22:11
them. They they get along just
22:13
fine. You know? So but of course, when
22:15
they first when they first got all you gay, you
22:17
know, like that, but they all even I thought
22:19
I had a stern conversation with the moonlight
22:21
little brother, it don't match what he decides to do in the
22:23
bedroom. That's simply what it is. Other
22:25
than that, it ain't go us for to to
22:27
parade around and all that stuff. That's natural
22:29
identity. Your identity is that you're a black
22:31
man. Period. that's your identity. You know?
22:33
And that's what I want them to stand on.
22:35
But other than that, I'm I'm super traditional.
22:37
You know, we teach them a little women.
22:39
you
22:39
know, we teach them how to be husbands, how to be fathers,
22:41
and get back in the home, etcetera. Obviously,
22:43
that's not the left side plan. They
22:46
wanna promote sexual sexuality
22:48
to children and and and let
22:50
children aside, their genders, and
22:53
all that goodness. I'm not with all that. They can
22:55
leave that at the public schools. We're not
22:57
having it where we are. I don't care to
22:59
fight against it. I'm just going my way of
23:01
fighting against it is opening my own stuff and teaching our
23:03
own students. whomever doesn't want their
23:05
students or kids learning about that stuff early
23:07
or pushing sexual stuff on
23:09
children, you know, is absolutely ridiculous where
23:11
we take a look at what's going
23:12
around the country. You know, these parents going to be school boards about
23:14
these books that are aligned in the library, these
23:17
people that are allowing to read to kids
23:19
and Like, they're letting drag queen, queens read
23:21
the kids and stuff, and they haven't,
23:23
like, strip shows and stuff in front
23:26
of children. This is what's happening. People just
23:28
think this is supposed to be accepted. Like, we we they
23:30
they need to open up their search. Well, I'm not this
23:32
is a child. You pedophile. You know,
23:34
like, this this this is a child.
23:36
That day, my son wanna be Spider
23:38
Man today. Does he does he have to buy
23:41
Spider Man? My son I son loves
23:43
Sonic. He wants me to call him Sonic right now.
23:45
So you know what his name is? He's
23:47
Sonic. Come on, Sonic. But you're not
23:49
gonna tell me. It's one of
23:51
your girl. and I'll be real to, like, people like some guys
23:53
will get mad. Let's say a son might pick up a
23:55
girl toy or something like that. I'll have my son
23:57
pick up a little girl toy like a little pee
23:59
toy, but he's not looking at
24:01
it the manner of it's a girl toy. He's just
24:03
playing with it because he wanna play with it. So
24:05
I'm not like, hey, hey, you may not play
24:08
with it. I'm not. You're the three.
24:10
Wait. Oh, boy. I don't care. You know, I
24:12
don't care if it's pee. Nothing I'm doing with
24:14
me. Now it ain't no dog. There's a
24:16
difference, but there's a girl at all. Hey.
24:18
this pick on it, but it just does all the same stuff that the boy to it
24:20
would do. He wants to play with it. Play with
24:22
it. I don't care. Like, because I'm
24:24
in your life. the biggest influence
24:27
in your life. He mimics me to a tee.
24:29
You know, so I don't care about stuff like that,
24:31
you know, or or even what my students may
24:33
listen to when they go home or
24:35
whatever I know I'm the biggest in their lives right
24:37
now. You know? So that's that's that's
24:39
important, man. But I just be going going a
24:41
little everywhere but Right. answer your
24:43
question. I don't mind, you know,
24:45
going to whatever side. Whoever wanna hear from me,
24:47
I'll let him I'll talk to him. But, of course,
24:49
Morgan Service will listen to me because that's
24:51
what they're not pushing on that side. That
24:53
side is straight. you know, talk masculinity
24:56
is toxic, and blah, blah, blah,
24:58
blah, blah, and all that stuff. So, whomever wanna hear
25:00
me over there, sure. If you
25:02
don't, oh, well, but I'm gonna give my message to whoever wants to
25:05
hear it. I don't care what platform it is.
25:07
Mhmm. Talk about
25:07
your plans for spending. you
25:10
know, the business may be open in another state, different
25:13
part, you know, Georgia to talk about
25:15
that. If if there's any Yeah.
25:17
So we definitely plan to expand eventually. Of
25:20
course, once we come into more
25:22
funding and getting more yearly
25:26
supporters and make purchasing different
25:28
endowments from different supporters. That's
25:30
what that will enable us to open up, you
25:32
know, for more expansion in other
25:35
states and other cities and things
25:37
like that. But of course, I'm not one of
25:39
those people who want to do like franchising
25:41
thing and just be out here just opening them
25:43
all up everywhere and doing different branches and
25:45
pay your fees and they ain't never been to the city. No. I
25:47
wanna make sure that what we're doing
25:49
is serving those children in that area. So
25:51
what the children in Albany and Georgia may
25:53
may need may not be what the children in Detroit mean.
25:55
I might need to fix it up for the
25:57
children in Detroit. because the need in
25:59
Albany
25:59
here may be different or the children in
26:02
Houston may be different from the children in
26:04
Detroit, you know. So we have to figure
26:06
what do the children need there? We have to do a case study.
26:08
You have to have a few book club sessions and
26:10
a few conflict conversations that
26:12
I do, like, and and figure out and gauge what the
26:14
kids and the boys need in these
26:16
different areas for us to gauge and figure
26:18
out a curriculum because our students all
26:20
over everywhere need different things.
26:23
any different teaching, any different types of teaching. All
26:25
of them aren't the same. They're different cultures
26:27
all over the country. Like, South Georgia's
26:29
cultures are different. from North Georgia. Like, literally, like, we
26:31
do different stuff. We eat different food.
26:34
We cook stuff different. South
26:36
Florida is different from North Florida.
26:38
Like, there are different cultures everywhere. Sir,
26:40
we are in the same, like, under one
26:42
big umbrella culture, but there are different cultures
26:44
everywhere. You know, people in Houston say, different
26:47
slaying. Like, eat different food. People in
26:49
California don't drink
26:50
sweet tea. Like, it's
26:52
it's a lot of different stuff. You know?
26:54
So that's that's just something, you know, I I
26:56
wanna make sure I do. I don't wanna just be out
26:58
here opening twenty thousand schools and I ain't been
27:00
to none. Neither one of them. I wanna make sure we're
27:02
actually serving those students and those students are actually
27:05
changing. We we should message sorry about
27:07
that. The message to the children about the
27:09
hip hop. they come in, I'm probably
27:11
to different hip hop song. How how are you
27:13
engaging with that? Because that's an influence on our
27:15
children as well. Yeah. And I don't like when
27:17
people don't try to like, it's not
27:19
influencing our case. Like, for example, my
27:21
son. My favorite rapper is Travis
27:23
Scott. Not because it it just I just love
27:25
Travis Scott. It's my guy. or
27:27
whatever. But my son likes to listen to
27:29
Travis Scott because I like to listen to Travis Scott. But
27:31
he'll watch some of Travis Scott videos over
27:33
like, he's only three But, you know, Charter Scott got a
27:35
little braids in his head or whatever. So
27:37
maybe, Keith, like, he'll go get, like, a
27:39
piece of gum or something like that and, like, pull it
27:41
down like that. like, shake his hand around.
27:43
Like, try to Skype me doing whatever.
27:45
This is pretty funny over there, but people try to
27:47
act like this, like, you have the influence on our
27:49
kid. I'm like, it is, though.
27:51
Like, It is they're listening to
27:53
this this rep. He's gonna listen to NBA
27:55
Yo Boy. They really want to be
27:57
this man. Right? They want to live his
27:59
life. They think that they are NBA Youngboy. Whatever,
28:02
granted, I don't mind. Honestly,
28:04
what our students listen to with me
28:06
because I know what's happening. I can tell you
28:08
to differentiate. Not to mention, I don't think
28:10
you're a true father if you're not listening to the movie that
28:12
you're a kid or listening to. I
28:15
I try to listen to everything that they listen to because I
28:17
wanna know what's going on in their brains. You know, I want I
28:19
know I know what's going on in their heads, you know.
28:21
So for those guys who not listening to what their
28:23
kids know know whatever on your son playlist, go play
28:26
it. because
28:26
you need to figure out what's going on in his head,
28:28
you know, because that is affecting them. You know,
28:30
even how you listen to music before a football
28:32
game and get you popped up or
28:34
you listen to sad music when you're in your
28:36
feelings, you're listening to RMB to get you in
28:38
the mood. Like, all this stuff affects you regardless
28:40
of people who wanna believe it or not. you know,
28:42
so I don't really necessarily have a message to
28:45
the students in my care about that.
28:47
Besides, that's not the particular life,
28:49
you know, that they are truly living.
28:51
especially
28:51
like some of the kids who have nice homes and stuff
28:53
who try to live that life. I'm like, there's why
28:55
do you wanna live that life? Because it looks cool.
28:58
So my what I think our job, you
29:00
know, should be is making other,
29:02
you know, careers
29:04
look cool to our kids or introducing
29:06
different sports to them like such as
29:08
we wanna and to do shooting and pickleball
29:10
and and all types of different
29:12
stuff and different Olympic sports
29:14
that black people don't participate in. You can
29:16
get endorsements adorsement deals for these things. You
29:18
can get paid for these things versus over
29:20
saturating the market in football, basketball,
29:22
baseball, or whatever. You can get paid for all
29:24
these different four that I just mentioned, ping
29:26
pong ping pong players. The
29:28
average ping pong player make a hundred and
29:30
forty thousand dollars a year on minimum. That's
29:32
average. That's his ping pong.
29:34
You know? So imagine a good ping pong player and tell him
29:36
what he making or whatever. But every sport
29:38
we give it to, we take
29:41
over. Go get it to the Adidas boys. Have you seen
29:43
the black man in golf? What's his name?
29:45
Tiger Woods. He's the best. You know,
29:47
everything we get into. We're the best. Even
29:49
hockey. The the last few the
29:51
hockey cup holders of black guy. You know what I mean? because when
29:53
we get into the sport, we take it over
29:55
because we just naturally, athletically,
29:57
climb more than other people. You
29:59
know? So that's that's just basic facts. You
30:01
know? So I think it's important, you
30:03
know, for us to introduce
30:05
different sports to our kids, introduce
30:07
different things to our kids. That way,
30:09
we ain't too much worried about hip hop because
30:11
we know other stuff that looks cool to
30:13
our kids. See, other people worried about hip
30:15
hop a lot. They kid because they're not the biggest influence in their lives,
30:17
and they're not showing their kids other outlets.
30:19
A hundred and three thousand
30:20
said, how are you going to tell a boy that's sons
30:22
of sin when you're not offering new ways
30:25
to win? And I think that was AAA
30:27
huge bar because, how can I tell him
30:29
that son's a sin? And I'm not offering new ways to
30:32
win. So I'm gonna show you all these different
30:34
ways to win so that you don't
30:36
have to go, keep sending. How does hip
30:38
hop, how does the culture embrace
30:40
king Randall? We see how a
30:42
lot of the mainstream personalities
30:44
within the culture, they gravitated towards other
30:48
people attaining to do what you tried to do
30:50
because they were great speakers, because they were
30:52
charismatic, they were larger
30:54
than life, you could say, and they embraced
30:56
them. They may have embraced them with coin. Who knows?
30:58
As you fundraising, as you grind, and as
31:00
you do the things that they sit back in about and
31:02
post about you're actually doing it. How
31:04
have they embraced you? Have they offered you don't
31:06
have to name any names? Have they offered funding? Have
31:08
they offered assistance? Have they offered any
31:10
type of help? to further your
31:12
goal and further your mission on what you got
31:14
going on? Yeah. I will say that the boys was
31:16
one of the first, you know, big people
31:19
to help out and and give funding,
31:21
and I can call them and things like that.
31:23
And there are a few other people who gave, a few
31:25
people who actually took for me, you know,
31:27
and and that's
31:27
just the game. You know, you you learn
31:30
to figure out who to trust. You you
31:32
discover things about different people.
31:34
You know, people you look up to,
31:36
you know, they turn into enemy, you know, things
31:38
happen. You know? So and and granted, you know,
31:40
I don't really do much. I don't talk trash
31:42
about anybody. I don't
31:44
get social media bashing anyone,
31:47
but that's the game when you're
31:49
out here doing work. So -- Yeah. -- I do
31:51
wanna ask you this and I know you said
31:53
no comment to doctor Umar, and I'm gonna respect that. But --
31:55
Right. -- if I'm wrong with it at one point that you looked
31:57
up to him, and he was one of the motivating factors in
31:59
you doing what you were doing. Absolutely.
32:01
I did look up to that Omar at
32:03
one point. You know, we met. We
32:05
were good. You know?
32:07
life happens and no comment.
32:10
Mhmm.
32:10
Good, sir.
32:11
Good, sir. So so
32:13
what's
32:13
next, man? If you got, you know, anything you
32:16
wanna add you know, any announcements you
32:18
wanna make the floor is open? Not
32:20
at the moment. No
32:22
no announcements, man. I just appreciate everybody, you know,
32:24
who does support. you know, what we're
32:27
doing. We're still trying to expand,
32:29
you know, our student base right now.
32:31
Next year, we'll be taking a new said
32:33
that sixth graders, so our school starts in
32:35
sixth grade, and they will graduate
32:37
with us. So I didn't even though the
32:39
school will be sixth to twelfth. We're not any children,
32:41
you know, in the twelfth grade, eleventh grade. No.
32:43
They have to grow all the way through the school. So
32:46
they start in sixth grade. They move to
32:48
seventh grade. We take a new round of
32:50
sixth grade. And so they kind of grow every year.
32:52
That's that's how that will work. So that way, they
32:54
would already have been ingrained in
32:56
our culture at live pro. all
32:58
the way to begin school. And, you know, when they
33:00
go to college, you know, they'll still have these things
33:02
in their system. We also wanna make
33:05
sure we're breeding you
33:07
know, our next officials, our
33:09
next doctors, our next lawyers, our next police
33:11
officers, and we wanna make sure we're saturating
33:14
the area with people that we
33:17
I think that's important because we don't
33:19
get our students and our kids into
33:22
different areas where we may
33:24
be lacking we may be getting done
33:26
in justice because ninety
33:28
four percent of prosecutors are
33:30
white. You know, so where are we expecting to get
33:32
when we get sentenced or things
33:34
like that? If we have black
33:36
prosecutors, things will happen. Well, we have a
33:38
racist racist police a
33:40
police system. Well, let's
33:42
stop. we have racist people in that system.
33:44
If you go saturate that area with black
33:46
police officers that we've raised,
33:48
no longer racist system. it's that those
33:50
black police officers there are not that we
33:52
raised. So again, sometimes we have to
33:54
think about things like that and and
33:56
think about how can we best affect
33:58
change there. So can we make better
34:00
police departments? How can we make better police
34:03
officers? How can we make better
34:05
everything? And that's raising the people that are going
34:07
in those systems. I am more trusting of
34:09
students that I've raised that want to go in these
34:11
different fields. I'm not gonna, you know, deter my one
34:13
of my kids from being a police officer. That's
34:15
great because then I know when he becomes a police officer,
34:17
that's one better one better officer that's on the force
34:19
that I help train and raise, you know, who has,
34:22
you know, good head on his shoulders. So we
34:24
saturate our
34:26
areas with better mailman and better doctors and
34:28
whatever, you know, our communities will be
34:30
better. So that's that's something I
34:32
wholeheartedly believe
34:34
in. But I don't have
34:36
any major announcements
34:38
or anything, but people can follow us again.
