All right , so today's podcast we're
0:14
gonna talk about affirmative
0:16
action . Now this is all over the news
0:18
lately with the
0:21
rollback on the Supreme Court right
0:24
, they were talking about
0:26
they getting rid of affirmative
0:28
action . You know , this is kind of like
0:30
I have a 50-50 type
0:32
thing about affirmative
0:35
action . A lot of viewers . What
0:37
affirmative action is , you
0:39
know ? Is you just
0:42
in case somebody would ? You just may have heard of the word
0:44
, but just don't really know .
0:46
Basically businesses having to meet certain quotas
0:48
for certain ethnic groups and
0:50
races , and
0:53
sometimes people with disabilities . Basically
0:56
, yeah . They just have to have a certain
0:58
number in the company .
0:59
Yeah .
1:00
That's all . I look at it as .
1:02
Yeah , so it is like that
1:04
in a basic sense , that
1:06
people of certain genders
1:08
, race and like
1:12
the disability at age too . Well
1:14
, because you have to realize that everything
1:18
that helps
1:20
affirmative action is
1:23
from some type of isosome right
1:25
. Racism , sexism
1:28
, ageism , these
1:30
are all things that you
1:33
know that hurts
1:35
the minority population
1:37
. Get into the
1:40
workforce , certain schools
1:42
, you know this
1:45
kind of go back a little bit more . This
1:47
was all initiated by the government
1:49
well , the US government , right Back
1:52
in the 1960s . Right
1:54
, yeah , it's supposed to help marginalize
1:56
the disadvantaged groups , because
1:58
, of course , it's still
2:01
the same thing today . Right , we
2:04
don't have , let's say
2:06
, 33 , 33 , 33 percent
2:08
of each race in the
2:10
workforce . It does the same thing . Not
2:12
in the schools , it's not in
2:15
the . You
2:17
know , every institution
2:19
is not in , like that , right ?
2:20
Well , affirmative .
2:21
Does it say like , oh , the percentage is equal
2:23
, yeah , no , yeah . So
2:27
and even if it say like , okay , you have a company with , maybe , okay , 33
2:29
percent black or Hispanic
2:31
or some type of minority group , or even women
2:34
, that group
2:36
, like you say , oh , we have a large number of
2:38
minorities working in our system , right
2:40
, even the Asians are considered in that group
2:42
. Right , they
2:45
more likely won't be in a leadership position too . No
2:47
, so , even though you may be working at the company
2:50
, right , you may not
2:52
be in a prominent position to be able
2:54
to provide
2:57
for your family . You're just working
2:59
, right .
3:00
Just meeting that quota for the company
3:02
basically .
3:03
Right , Right . So I have a kind
3:05
of like a little bit of just
3:08
a mixed feeling on it though too . So
3:10
what do you think ? What do you think ?
3:13
I don't have mixed feelings , I just I really
3:15
don't think I'm not saying that
3:17
it doesn't open the doors
3:19
for minorities to
3:21
be able to work at certain
3:24
companies , or whatever . But back
3:26
in when it started . We all know that when they got
3:28
in there they suffered
3:30
especially African-American
3:34
, doing three times more work , getting
3:36
spit on and getting
3:38
a job that no one , just getting
3:40
harassed pretty much over
3:44
this affirmative action and I always
3:46
thought in my personal opinion , you know
3:49
that I
3:52
just thought we thrived in
3:54
a community just separate
3:57
. That's just my personal opinion because , like
4:00
, why go to school
4:02
and another school , how
4:04
they had the Black girl go to school in the white community
4:06
and have to have the National Guard
4:09
walk them in the same with this . So
4:11
you get hired and you get treated
4:13
poorly . You
4:19
get harassed and you have to be like that
4:22
, say we always gotta work harder . We always
4:24
gotta work harder
4:26
than the next man or the white man , when they used
4:28
to say back in the 50s , 60s , but
4:30
it's because they had to
4:33
and they still got no recognition
4:35
. I mean , we see it in that
4:37
movie with the two women that
4:39
were astronaut work for NASA
4:41
.
4:42
Yeah , yeah , it figures .
4:43
Yeah , and they still had to go to the restroom
4:45
. But they got in here but they still
4:47
was treated poorly .
4:49
And that movie devotion with Jonathan
4:51
Major , with the airplane remember
4:53
that he was treated somewhat
4:55
poorly . He was a graduate
4:57
from a college and he had the same credentials . But
5:01
you know that thing , that was a little
5:03
bit different because he was still in the quarters with
5:06
the white people , his bungee .
5:11
He wasn't treated outright poorly
5:14
but , he was frowned upon
5:16
by certain other groups . I
5:19
mean , maybe his team
5:21
liked him because they didn't
5:23
personally . But that's kind of like
5:25
cause they're going to war .
5:28
You gotta have something .
5:29
This is war . But going into a
5:32
building and you have
5:34
your suit on the
5:37
men . It was frowned upon . Let's just say
5:39
what it is the white people . At
5:41
that time some of them treated
5:44
the minorities horribly
5:46
. It's like a man had to go to work
5:48
, and that's why it was important . That's
5:51
why I feel back then we were our strongest
5:53
as a community , cause the woman did take
5:56
care of the man . When he came home , he was the king
5:58
. He was fed and treated , cause
6:01
he had to go face all of that , Especially
6:03
if he was a smarter the more educated
6:05
, the bigger the company , the
6:08
more harassment that he probably had to deal
6:10
with .
6:10
Yeah , yeah , yeah . For the most part , that is
6:13
true , that is true , and
6:15
there are people that have
6:17
to thrive from or from the
6:19
action . So , like
6:21
in that case , I definitely understand where
6:24
you're coming from . My
6:27
thing also , too , is that . Another
6:30
thing about a front of action that I personally
6:32
feel like about
6:34
it is that it's
6:37
kind of like I don't
6:39
want your pity because
6:42
the color of my skin , like
6:45
my brains , is not
6:47
the color of my skin .
6:48
Right .
6:49
You know what I mean . Like if
6:51
I was to get into Harvard , Yale
6:53
or whatever , right , Mm-hmm Because
6:56
of my test scores , then
6:58
let it be that Right . Don't let
7:00
me in because , oh , I may have
7:02
like a certain
7:05
test score and you
7:07
know .
7:08
Or because you have to meet the quota , because you're
7:11
Hispanic or you're Black
7:13
. Oh , we need one more Black . Let
7:16
him in .
7:16
It's just like you know , I seen
7:18
this interview one time with this gentleman and
7:23
he it was like one of those prestigious schools or whatever
7:25
right , and he had
7:27
a high test score or whatever and
7:30
at first when he applied
7:32
for the school , they denied him because
7:35
his SAT scores were really high
7:37
. But the reason why he was denied ? Because
7:39
they thought he was White and
7:42
when they realized that he was Black then
7:44
they allowed him in .
7:46
Only to meet . That's the thing . Just to meet the quota Because
7:48
it is Because in his yeah and think
7:50
of how much of a slap in the face somebody works
7:53
so hard , yeah , exactly . And then it's like
7:55
you know , let my work get me in
7:57
, not just pitying me or oh
7:59
, you have to meet this quota . Now that I'm
8:01
Black , put me in . I mean some
8:03
people will say , hey look , do what you gotta do , I'm
8:05
in Harvard . Some people might not mind it , but
8:08
for me , I
8:10
mean , I kind of would mind it in that aspect
8:13
.
8:13
I would , because
8:16
you know you do . There's a lot of people out
8:18
here that do work hard , right . You
8:21
know Hispanics , blacks , women
8:23
, asians . You know a lot of
8:25
people in the minority group do work hard
8:27
because they do want
8:30
a chance .
8:30
Right .
8:31
They do want a chance , you know , and it's
8:34
not because it's
8:36
not just because they don't want to come to somewhere to
8:38
work somewhere , just because you got it for a quarter
8:41
. They want to work somewhere or they want to go
8:43
to school or they want to live a certain lifestyle
8:45
because of the hard work that they put in . Right
8:47
, you can't be as America
8:49
say oh yeah , all you got to do is work
8:51
hard , work hard , pay your taxes
8:54
and be a good citizen , right ? We
8:57
know that's that's . That's not for
8:59
minorities , that that particular saying
9:01
it's not for that . You know , a lot
9:03
of minorities did have to work twice as hard , like
9:05
you said , on the job . You know you just
9:07
to be , just hope to
9:09
be , quote on quote , work
9:12
in the normal , you know , you know that was
9:14
expected for you to work a lot
9:16
harder than everybody else , so
9:18
that that'd be considered the norm , and
9:20
I'm glad like nowadays
9:23
, though , things are not really like
9:25
that . Now a lot of people are saying the hell with
9:27
that . Yeah , they just like I'm just gonna work
9:29
just as much as you are . I don't give a shit , because
9:32
I , you know was good
9:34
. It's gonna do me working twice
9:36
, three times as hard , you know
9:38
, coming in early and leaving
9:41
late and Not getting recognized
9:43
for anything you know . So I'm glad people
9:45
are starting to realize that they've just coming around To
9:47
a buzz .
9:48
Even in the 80s , right people were men
9:50
, were black . You know men or you
9:53
know other races . Were getting
9:55
up into the you know , be
9:58
becoming businessmen , then
10:00
coming into money , and Still
10:03
the same old thing . You
10:07
know the back burner for the raise , for
10:09
the promotion , the back burner do
10:11
all the work and everyone
10:13
else keeps the credit . Yeah and and
10:15
you know , and that's
10:17
teetering into the just pure racism
10:20
. You know that topic , but I could say
10:22
, yeah , you get in and
10:24
meet the quota , but you get treated like
10:26
Trash yeah , yeah
10:29
, you get , you know , yeah , it's like it
10:31
.
10:31
It says for promotes discrimination
10:34
and reverse , but I
10:36
don't know where it is words that that people
10:38
state , but it also it says
10:40
the one to the . I
10:43
said that another critical thing that
10:45
you know critics talk about it still . It
10:47
still reinforces stereotype . So
10:49
that's the part what we was talking about , because it's
10:51
like , okay , you , you weren't really
10:54
smart enough to get into psychology just in here
10:56
Because , yeah , because
10:58
we need to meet a quota , right , right , like
11:00
you know
11:02
. Then , if a person Achieves
11:05
a lot , or though , or the person don't
11:07
have to achieve as much , you
11:09
know , so like to say , whatever test
11:12
, for it needed to be 95
11:14
, but you , because you're black , you're able to
11:16
get it at 85 , right , which
11:18
I think is horrible , because now
11:21
, it's like you , you
11:24
, you're , you know before , you
11:26
like to achieve your goals
11:28
, are setting lower , your standards are set
11:30
low . Yeah , so why would that even
11:32
have to be a thing ? Why can't a person
11:35
Be it , you
11:37
know , saying everybody just get in on this
11:39
for the highest ? Yeah , because it , yeah , because
11:41
, at end of the day , just makes you a stronger person
11:43
, yeah , it makes you a smarter person , makes you a better person
11:45
because you have . You've tried harder
11:47
for yourself . Right for yourself
11:50
, not just because I owe . I
11:52
just got a , barely just made this . Yeah , I
11:54
can get in like no , treat
11:56
me like hi , everybody else , because now nobody can't say
11:58
that you did me a favor .
12:00
Right in . That's the yeah and this
12:02
going back to the , promote discrimination
12:04
in reverse . That
12:06
was just especially in the
12:09
60s when it , you know , when this was coming
12:11
out , that was just White
12:13
people upset about it . Yeah
12:16
saying that you're forcing these
12:18
Negroes in here . That's
12:20
race , that's that's treating us bad
12:22
. You know we gotta sit with them , eat with them , yeah
12:25
, around them . So that's where that come from
12:27
. Oh yeah , it's good . And they . They
12:29
felt as though you were it
12:32
was reverse racism or in
12:35
make them suffer discrimination . We're suffering
12:37
, we're doing fine here in our world and
12:39
you pushing us , making us see
12:41
they don't like , when you know People don't
12:43
like to be made or whatever . But you
12:45
know , told what to do . And those times especially
12:48
and I wish how .
12:49
That's how they would treat this . You
12:52
know the , the , the homosexual
12:54
community like this , the LBG TV
12:56
, right , they get everything , yeah , even to the . So
12:58
I don't understand how come this is pushed
13:00
back so much when it comes
13:02
to race , but this that's why
13:05
they can't get rid of it , because they don't they
13:07
.
13:07
They overdate . I don't know what the agenda
13:09
is with that population . Not that I hate
13:11
them or have anything against them . It's
13:13
just that when the shutdown I
13:16
throw so much , you know , it's a problem
13:18
for me .
13:18
I don't know what the agenda is and
13:20
it's a difference between what a person is
13:22
born like that color . Or
13:24
their race versus some choice of
13:26
a sexual orientation , right
13:28
for someone to be treated or so
13:30
many laws and actions to right
13:32
, go , and you know to go , yeah , because
13:35
you're choosing the change or whatever
13:37
and there's a , there's a arm , I
13:39
think it . I think it's Detroit . I
13:42
want to say I could be wrong , but I
13:44
think it's Detroit . What they're
13:46
there they're trying to say that they're trying
13:48
to push a bill that if you
13:51
were to get To say somebody's
13:53
pronoun wrong , you can get fine
13:55
ten thousand .
13:56
Yeah , I heard about that .
13:57
So I don't understand that . So if
13:59
you're doing the , doing this based off a pronoun
14:01
, when you get somebody pronoun , so what about
14:03
when you know when
14:06
a white person called first a black person
14:08
in the end word right , or somebody
14:10
called a Spanish person like
14:12
a spit or like a Asian
14:14
, they did ? You know they make fun of their race
14:16
.
14:18
So yeah , yeah , how they talk , yeah .
14:20
Um , yeah , so why are we not
14:22
pushing that ? Why is that not a thing ? I
14:24
do not understand it . But see , that's
14:26
another thing . Going back to the Democrats yeah , this is
14:28
that , as you know , I mean , that's
14:31
what they do .
14:31
This is what they do . It makes no sense
14:34
to me why they do it and
14:36
why you can go to jail for saying them . They
14:38
are not saying them . They she
14:41
, he , whatever . But all the
14:43
other stuff can be said openly
14:46
anywhere and there's no consequence .
14:48
You know today and so this
14:50
clinic , this kind of there's a front-of-action
14:53
when it has ended . So
14:55
I know we talked about the school and
14:57
work , right , and we just talked about
15:00
mostly raised , but it's kind of like something
15:02
interesting you just talking about With
15:04
when it comes to someone's sexual orientation
15:06
to meet a quota , because first
15:09
the quota it was received
15:11
to be an equal that you had to hire a certain amount
15:13
of , of Of of
15:15
homosexuals or , you know , bisexual or whatever
15:17
the case might be right now , the LBGT
15:20
community right now
15:22
, being that it's not a Affirmative
15:25
action , affirmative action has ended . Now
15:27
this is another thing
15:29
that the Supreme Court has stopped you , if
15:31
you for your sexual preference , yeah , so
15:33
now that could , that can also
15:36
pipe down that community
15:38
as well , when it comes down to , you
15:41
know , trying to voice your opinion on the work job , because
15:43
now a boss can really
15:45
say , hey , there's
15:47
a firm that actually shit is not in
15:50
effect anymore . So now , when
15:52
you acting up too much , we
15:54
don't need to keep a certain quota , you
15:57
know , cause we don't need to have like , okay , just say
15:59
like , just say one open homosexual
16:03
guy at the job site , right , and
16:07
especially like if that one person , they
16:09
just say just , for instance , that one
16:11
homosexual person was very problematic
16:15
for the company , but at first
16:17
now they couldn't fire down
16:19
right Because
16:21
of the front of action . Now you're
16:24
less protected as well . So
16:27
and this is all done . I
16:30
know the Supreme Court is more conservative right
16:32
now . They push it like more
16:34
, but I call it uplicking .
16:36
I don't even understand the reason why to
16:38
even stop it .
16:42
Well , I think it's really , I think , I
16:45
think there's a good thing they stop it , because they
16:47
can really show who is really who
16:49
.
16:50
I knew , but I don't feel like it really
16:52
personally . You
16:55
know , I don't really
16:57
feel well . I guess early on , when it was introduced
17:00
, I don't really feel like it made a difference . Yeah
17:02
, you got people in the building but , like
17:04
I said , they was being treated horribly . I
17:07
still think that minorities
17:09
still have to work hard to this day . Yeah
17:13
, the racism may have lessened the
17:15
harassment , of course was there's laws and policies
17:17
in place but
17:19
at the end of the day , I still think that we still
17:22
have to work harder . It's not stopping us from
17:24
having to do that , having to always prove
17:26
ourselves , having to come in as a
17:28
docile person , that we , you know .
17:31
And see well , that's interesting , you say that because
17:33
I feel the complete opposite . I
17:35
feel like I'm not gonna go in here and work any harder
17:37
than anyone else , especially
17:41
when the company has whatever
17:44
. Whatever how
17:46
the vibe is there , I'm gonna
17:48
go with it . I'm not gonna come in and try
17:51
to save a company . Motherfucker , like I'm
17:53
not gonna do that . Like I used to be
17:55
a very I used to be , you know , back when
17:57
I was younger , I really , when I did care about
17:59
it like I did used to , I had that
18:02
same sentiment . Some people have that
18:04
characteristic , naturally , yeah , when
18:07
they come in and they wanna do , but you
18:09
know , but and that's something that what I learned
18:11
like how you say , though that's something
18:13
I learned that it doesn't matter , because
18:16
you could be working , you could be the first
18:18
one in and the last one out . They
18:20
still gonna treat you the way you wanna treat you . So you
18:22
might as well and all
18:25
my listeners you know this
18:27
is a close to this you might as well
18:29
just do follow how
18:31
the company vibe is right
18:33
. Follow the hot company . Don't come
18:36
in there . If the company is
18:38
laxed , you
18:40
stay lax with the company . Do not
18:42
over exert yourself
18:44
trying to approval point .
18:46
This is not gonna work . I mean , I do agree with that
18:48
, but I also know that
18:51
what others
18:53
can do , you can't . So
18:55
it's just one of them things that you kind
18:57
of got to fill your way around . When it comes to new
18:59
, like being employed with a company , you
19:02
just kind of have to find where
19:04
you fit in . But I am like you . I'm not going
19:06
to do a whole lot more , but
19:09
I'm not going to be sloppy either and not do my
19:11
job , of course . But
19:14
then once you get in the company , you'll know who can do
19:16
what . So you might have 20 people
19:18
. That can be lax , but the moment you do it
19:20
, you in the office
19:22
, you know . So it just depends on the company
19:24
.
19:24
Well , I just have to be in the office because I'm going to
19:26
just be like shit . Everybody else is doing the same
19:29
thing I'm doing . So why am I saying
19:31
where ? You know how we get in ? And
19:33
that's the thing , though I feel like
19:35
, being the age I am
19:37
, being my
19:39
mindset and the position that I'm
19:41
in , I'm going to do that . I'm
19:44
going to do that and it's the same thing like . It's
19:46
kind of like the same thing when , if
19:48
I was to get pulled over
19:50
by a cop , right , I'm not going to be shaking in
19:52
my boots and , oh , my hands
19:54
are up and shit because , guess what , everybody else don't
19:56
have to do that . If
19:58
I get pulled over by the cop and he say , okay
20:01
, hey , I need to see your
20:03
driver's license registration , all right , I'm
20:05
going to go into the glove
20:07
compartment and get my goddamn
20:10
registration out . So
20:13
this is what everybody else does . So
20:17
this is just what it is Now , thankfully
20:20
, I never had to have any encounters
20:22
from a cop that was like that . But
20:30
it's like some people I talk
20:32
to , some minorities that I
20:34
talk to this day , to be like , oh , shaking
20:36
, I got my hands
20:38
up , like why are you doing all
20:41
this ? For Because
20:43
they're scared ?
20:44
Yeah , but for what ? You haven't done anything
20:46
. But that comes with personality
20:49
, yeah .
20:50
And that's what I'm saying . So it's
20:52
like this is what . I'm saying my
20:54
character , my personality , like
20:56
. But you know what , if the cop pulled me over for speeding
20:59
, I'm going to say , oh my bad
21:01
, I fucked up , you got me . I
21:03
know I was speeding , you
21:06
got me . Boom
21:10
, here's my registration and my license
21:12
and that's it .
21:14
I'm not going to be oh sir .
21:17
I'm not going to be doing all that . No , for what ? Because
21:20
I have done nothing but speed . I didn't crash
21:22
into the one .
21:23
I'm not doing all that either , but you do have people
21:26
that , like I say , they're overachievers
21:28
at work and they do more .
21:32
But look how that always turns up
21:34
in the end , Once
21:36
I had realized that
21:38
years back . That's why I stopped working .
21:42
That's why I stopped working . Your personality
21:44
you're not very docile
21:46
. Not that you're not docile , you're just not going to take no
21:48
shit . You've never been that . But
21:51
then you don't care about whatever the stink
21:53
, you know your shit at work Is this
21:55
how you are ? That your personality , right , and
21:57
I get it . But you have a group
21:59
of folks that really want to strive . They're still
22:02
trying to reach that top of the ladder
22:04
or that old notion of climbing
22:06
the ladder , and you know this level
22:08
, certain level of success , and so they go in
22:10
there and they give it they all and unfortunately
22:13
sometimes is not received
22:16
. You know , not all the time , but
22:18
sometimes it's still that 1960s notion
22:20
in some companies . You know you got old
22:22
people still working . That's why I don't really particularly
22:24
like working for older , working with
22:27
. I have a company that's full of older
22:29
people because they have an old way of thinking
22:31
.
22:32
So you know , so
22:36
so listeners out there , whatever
22:38
year you're listening to this , don't
22:41
overachieve , because it doesn't get you anywhere
22:44
. And guess what , if
22:46
you're the one that's overachieving , it doesn't
22:48
ever matter , because one is type of budget
22:51
cuts yeah .
22:53
For your ass is going to be Right , right .
22:56
So Facebook , facebook , twitter
22:59
, all those companies , massive
23:01
layoff . And imagine if you was the
23:03
guy that was on your computer supposed
23:06
to be taking a 30 minute break , but oh hey , I'm going
23:08
to take 15 minute break because I
23:10
got to get my work done . I got
23:12
to get this done . Hey , look at me
23:14
, guys , I'm working . Be more
23:16
like me , I guess I'm
23:18
pretty sure they . Ass is gone too . Yeah , for
23:21
what , though ? You
23:23
see what I mean . You were gone , you taking 15
23:25
minute breaks , and your coworker
23:28
take our breaks , but only 30 minutes , but
23:30
they take an hour break . We got fired too
23:32
.
23:33
So you saying go with the flow , go with the
23:35
flow , right , unless you flow . If you ain't
23:37
like , don't go with the flow . If you ain't like , cause you're
23:40
going to fire .
23:41
No , you go with the flow , no matter what
23:43
color you are , what sex you are . Because go
23:45
with it , because guess what that's
23:48
, it's not what a matter at the end of the day .
23:50
What you saying , but in my personal experience
23:52
, going with the flow don't work , because
23:54
with 20 people could do . The moment that I did something
23:57
like that , it was a big deal
23:59
. It just all depends on your
24:01
company , who's watching you and how
24:03
they feel about you personally . It's might
24:05
not even have anything to do with work , but you know how
24:07
that could go . So , on that note
24:09
, you just got to find your way
24:12
within the company that you're hiring
24:14
.
24:14
Well , I guess I always got lucky because I'm
24:16
not going to be doing all that shit Like
24:19
if I see everybody else half asses
24:22
shit at work . Guess what I'm about
24:24
to do ? I'm a half asses too and
24:27
I'm not going to overwork myself just because
24:29
of the simple fact and
24:31
cause I really personally I don't care . But
24:36
that's like I said , that's the reason why I
24:38
left the workforce because the
24:41
markets don't care what you look like and
24:44
that's why I love it . You stay in the markets
24:46
. You know they
24:48
don't care . People color yeah , that's
24:51
the beauty of it . But you know , when you work for a company
24:53
you have all these other red tapes and shit like that
24:55
.
24:56
Yeah , it's a lot of working for companies . It's always been , probably
24:58
always will , until that
25:01
the corporation is
25:03
no more and people are all online and
25:05
doing this and that you know .
25:07
Yeah , yeah . So
25:10
that's what I feel . I think like another
25:12
way to combat this . If you
25:15
say , okay , hey , but
25:17
I am a hard worker , right , I
25:19
do like to work hard , I do like to work long
25:21
, okay , okay , that's cool , all right , open
25:26
up your own company , do something that you really
25:28
do like and work those hours for
25:30
yourself to spend
25:32
that energy when you on
25:34
yourself , on your business . You
25:37
know what I mean . Don't ever give
25:39
another company that
25:42
much energy . Do
25:44
it for yourself . It would have a business that you have
25:46
to start off or whatever that
25:48
you can do Because of a hard-working
25:51
person . If you're gonna go to work and
25:53
work hard , work for yourself and work
25:55
hard . You know what I mean . Like
25:57
I would , I would not say that I
25:59
would go to work and just deliberately be
26:01
the fuck up , but I'm
26:03
not gonna go to work and try to be the superstar either
26:05
, because I already know how that goes . We've
26:08
seen so many times . Look at that
26:10
woman , that guy , from what
26:12
it was Burger King on McDonald's About
26:15
30 years . A perfect attended and
26:17
you can't have a black , oh my god , I
26:20
get what I get with like a mug or something . Oh
26:23
, a mug and some tickets to the movies or some shit
26:25
like that Well , it's McDonald's , but that's a
26:27
Burger King .
26:28
What the hell he was , but Come on .
26:30
No , they're billion-dollar companies . Come on , now
26:32
there's a billion-dollar company . He didn't get
26:34
any money on anything , but you see what happens
26:36
, though . That's what . That's a prime example
26:38
of what I'm saying . Why do that to yourself
26:41
? Because , in the end , that's
26:43
what you get . Oh , you will hear another funny
26:45
story . This is actually more recent . You
26:47
know that guy , gary Gensler , sec chairman
26:50
, whatever the one that's been trying to crack
26:52
down on every Cryptocurrency
26:54
out there . So now you know that the whole thing
26:56
where he lost . Now Let me kind
26:58
of come back up a little bit . So
27:00
Gary Gensler been working his ass off
27:03
trying to sue every crypto currency
27:05
company in In in the market
27:07
, right from CZ at
27:09
a finance to To
27:12
a ripple right For
27:15
my Brad Garling house , right to
27:17
everybody , right and everybody in
27:19
between you were trying to sue man coin
27:21
base , right on from this
27:24
motherfucker been working his ass off Gary Gensler
27:26
right and soon
27:29
as he lost that XRP
27:31
, sec , sec suit . Man
27:34
, well , that's been going in for three years now . That's
27:36
right here . He lost it , he lost it . And
27:38
then you know what they do , what they said to him oh
27:41
, it's okay , gary , good job
27:43
, you tried your best and they gave him a mug great
27:46
Right .
27:47
All that work . He did work hard to try to get everybody
27:49
. This is my father suit everybody , yes , you
27:51
hear me .
27:52
And then once the , the , once the
27:54
, his own party , say
27:56
look , dude , you're working too
27:58
hard . Get Gary slowed
28:00
the hell down . Gary , slow down
28:03
, over achiever . Yes , you overachieve
28:05
in this shit , right , and you , you're working to
28:07
I , you , you start to make the plan backfire
28:09
, right ? So and I
28:11
think this happened coincidentally , right , it
28:14
, coincidentally , no , don't forget now black
28:16
rock has spot for the ETF
28:19
that they want to ETF , so they you know
28:21
black rock want to get the hand on the cryptocurrency . Yeah , so
28:24
we need to have Gary Gensler Cool
28:26
the hell out so that they can , right
28:29
, so he is overachieving ass , working
28:31
too hard . Because have
28:33
a step back , calm down and
28:36
go find something else to go do , because I think
28:38
he went missing , right ?
28:39
I mean as far as no one heard from him in
28:41
a while , right .
28:42
No , no , he's around , but the thing is that
28:44
after the lawsuit he's been
28:46
really been piping down . It was then yeah . But
28:49
this is just like this . This was like last week
28:51
, though this was just last week , so
28:53
he got his mug last week and you
28:56
know , I'm pretty sure , not even a cent on his way to
28:58
say you know , I'm sorry .
29:00
Yeah , we don't . We , you have done . You've
29:02
done much needed to do right .
29:04
You have overachieved Gary , and
29:06
so we . We need you to step back
29:08
and step out the way we've done by all
29:10
the crew . Not right , right so . But
29:12
see , that's a prime example of why
29:15
you shouldn't overachieve at work . Go
29:18
with the flow , right . Any
29:20
last words for our listeners tonight .
29:22
No , nothing tonight
29:24
.
29:25
Yeah , I think for me I would say
29:27
that Affirmative
29:29
action is good and it is bad
29:32
, depending on who . I would say , the
29:34
person that that would definitely benefit
29:36
the most and I think that
29:38
should benefit from
29:41
affirmative action would be people who
29:43
are disabilities , and physical
29:45
disability or mental disability as far
29:47
as in Down syndrome , things
29:50
like that . Right , you know
29:52
, or maybe several pauses something like
29:54
that , right , something like it still works , yes , yes
29:56
, I think that group of folks Should
29:59
not , you know , they should cut those
30:01
people from sometimes their brains
30:04
, not the wrong with their rights , exactly
30:06
exactly . They just may have a physical disability
30:08
, but they , they mental health is strong
30:10
and so they deserve to work
30:12
. They just should not be right you know and
30:15
everything else right
30:17
like . But if you a you
30:19
know , if you're a person that is smart and use your brains
30:22
, and you
30:24
, you know , if you decide
30:26
, you know if you're scoring good enough to get into a certain
30:28
college , or if you , if
30:31
your resume , strong enough to work for a certain company
30:33
, your race should not play a part at it at all . So
30:36
don't let me in because the
30:38
color of my skin . Let me in because my quality of , of who
30:42
I am as a person . They need to stop asking no
30:45
race questions ? Yes , I think so . Didn't
30:47
you go in and exclude that
30:50
? That's a great suggestion . They
30:52
need to go here to stop with the Are
30:56
you blind ? Yes , any ethnicity questions
30:59
and
31:01
any kind of like identity questions
31:03
to like , because now sometimes , if
31:05
it's confusing a lot of folks Are you male
31:07
, female , trans by ? Yeah
31:09
, they got those non-binary and all those
31:11
stuff . So like it's like what is , what
31:14
is all this stuff on here ? Like we're gonna know it's
31:16
all this going in there now . So , but
31:18
they need to stop all of that . If
31:21
we're gonna do this , if we're gonna , if we're gonna
31:23
get rid of from yeah , all of that
31:25
.
31:25
Yes , I agree with them .
31:27
Yes , all right , folks . Thanks so much
31:29
for listening and we will
31:31
see you next week at 10
31:33
pm . Have a good night , folks .
