I could change my life. I see somebody, I love to say conversation. Somebody here looks nice. Hey, y' all here look nice, sis.
You did that. Your dresser did that. It's important. Somebody got a nice dress on, some got some nice clothes on.
I could be male or female. Kiss another female. I'm going to tell you the story. I'm going tell you this story from the heart, man.
I'm going to tell you the story. I remember I was a young boy, man. I was a young boy. This about 11, 12 years old.
And when I come up East, I was living in East Harm at the Time. There's a lot of Spanish people. I might told the story before, but I'm telling it again today, man. I'm telling it again today, man.
I was. I was a young boy, man. I was living on east side. My grandmother, I was just off my grandma.
And I remember coming up the elevator was on Sunday night. I remember coming up, it was laying the elevator. Now you got to think I was coming up. It was really tough for me.
It was really tough to grow up. Everybody's like Spanish or they had good hair, they have black half Spanish. So they had things, you know what I'm saying? They had hazel eyes, green eyes and all this stuff.
I had nothing. They called me African booty scratching. The girls, the tv, everybody. It was not a good time to be black and dark skinned man.
It was not a good time for that, man. I told you from the heart it was not a good time. Embarrassed me, encouraged me carrying books in the bus stop and promised me they would give me a kiss when they get to the bus stop. They never gave me a kiss.
And every day to do that to me. They sit down in and just. It was tough, man. I got the Allah is my shaheed.
Allah is my shaheed. I swear to God. It was a lady daughter and I'm saying a nickname. Nicole Rember.
And her grandma would pull me to the side and said, don't you ever be by my granddaughter again, you dirty black bunny boy. Don't you ever be by my granddaughter again. Her own granddaughter. A little boy, 11, 12 years old, man humiliated me, man.
I waited 10 years old. She humiliated me in the back of that project, the colonial project behind the polar ground. She humiliated, she hurt me, she depleted me. And I used to be ashamed to be black.
I had to be ashamed of. But think I was ugly. And I was ashamed, man. I remember being on this elevator one day on a Sunday night, going to get Pepsi.
I was off my grandma, I was going up on elevator. My grandma was on a 17 fly. I never forget it on a Sunday night. It was a lady in the building with me.
And that's one of the people where I ditch my skin. I hated being black. I hated being black, man. And I was an elevator with that lady and she was staring at me and I looked over and I didn't even know she was.
She just said, I'm sorry to be staring at you and I apologize. But you up on me a handsome young man when you get older. She told me that, man. She told me that she got out of the floor on the 11th floor.
I never forget y' all on 11th floor. I'm about 17. 17. I ran into the apartment.
I great grandma. I gave my grandma that sold. And I ran into the bathroom, man. I ran into the bathroom and I closed the door.
That very night. That very night. I looked in that mirror. I looked in that mirror.
I looked in that mirror, man. You know, I seen a handsome man. I never seen what I thought I ever saw, bro. I never saw it, bro.
That lady changed my life. Gave me the confidence and everything, bro. Just those kind words. You watch what you say to people.
You could change my life. From then on, I was proud. I was proud to be black. I was proud to be black.
And they would call me Tom Black. I turned my name to Tom Black. I was proud. You asked anybody where I was from.
I walked in, my head up from that day on, I said, I'm Tom Black. Cause I was proud. I seen handsome in the mirror. I no longer seem.
I no longer want to pinch my skin. That lady changed my life, bro. I looked in that mirror. I was confident.
From then on, man, nobody could tell me nothing about my skin. Nobody tell me nothing about how I never carried no more books in a bus stop. Never again. I care about no cold.
Remember? I came out. I was proud. Watch you say to people because you just never know.
Never know, bro. Be nice. Say nice things to people, but don't say nothing at all. Cuz everything can be nice.
Everything can be nice. I'm not saying the argument. I'm not talking. I'm talking about just in general, man.
Just in general, man. Just in general, man. You. That lady, she might be over.
You know what she put into that, Al? She know what she been going through. She might look overweight to you, she might look 250 to you. But you don't know.
She was just 350. And she worked hard to get to 250. And she got that dress on and you come say, sister look good in that. You just don't know what it's going to be for that lady, man.
Next time you see that lady might be 175, man. I ain't going to hold your ear no longer. My name is Tommy is the Daily Bag podcast, man. And I just come here, bro.
