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 .
