Greetings greetings welcome to another episode of truth to power. I am your host. I was made late and So will be joined by jazz and snakes Some free great contributors to the show as you guys know you're gonna be discussing the way the way Sun Sex change also. We're gonna be discussing striking a king But I mean by that it's gonna be talking about the miss attempt to win peach Donald Trump from office Not to impeach him but to remove him from office You're welcome to join us Well hello, how you doing tonight?

Hey, Tara's. How are you? I'm good. I can't complain too much.

How was Miami? Miami was really fun. I want to go back Okay, so it won't be joined by snakes we don't give a couple seconds to come join at the fall we start okay Hope you had a great day productive week so far so far so far so good So far so good When my boy McKinley Yesterday I really want him on the show with all of us but he said he ain't ready for that yet. He might you know We're working it to we did Respectably environment we have here so far absolutely Well, let's get started, you know former NBA superstar the way this one came out and said that well he came out and said his son name is now Ziya and Now he is a she I want to talk about this subject because One thing is I see what's going on in the media and I see that it seems to be a little target on black boys back to become more feminine And I just want to get somebody else about it before I go in about what I'm saying So what are your thoughts about him, you know, you want us a bunch of child but supporting Um You know what do you think about that?

I think at 12 years old. It's just a bit premature, you know to make such lifelong decisions There's no decision that I made at 12 years old that set the path of my life You know, I just I don't know I'm not there are there are things about it that I admire him but most of all I just can't get over the fact that he's only 12 years old and he can decide what his sex is You know, I have a bit of an issue with that And I'll be lying if I if I decided to just go out kumbaya on it and say that everything's all good And he should go for it and his family should support him 100% in this particular decision So join us Now we were talking about the way way in on his son now his daughter Ziya And we were just expanding to try and get her thoughts on and I'm gonna get her thoughts on as well Now you want to say you want to support your kids regardless of what they do, but sexualizing your kids and such a young age What do you think about that? To be honest, it's like very That the child is already Deciding on what what he wants to be Now, I'm okay with the fact of them supporting the child, but I don't think like the name changes necessary just yet I don't think that any surgeries or hormones or any of that situation, you know Talk about our interest with the child, but I definitely feel like I will let the child It leaves get like high school, you know, and go through all those things before I just go all the way over the here with the situation Now the thing is this though, you know, I want to say this to just about a year ago I predicted it was gonna happen about a year ago I don't because that's how it was going and I was like soon as I saw Gabrielle Union basically leading up I was like These two these are kids don't come out feminine and somebody don't get to the sex chain to something like that And people think when people say that I have a problem with women and leadership positions in the relationship This is what I'm talking about right here. I'm not talking about it from the standpoint of being chauvinistic But at the standpoint of an example of a leader kids are gonna follow the leader Allow so we have a sense of tone So you feel like because she's the nominee one of the relationship that she makes it okay?

Yeah, I mean We see an interview where she says she was looking to do a booty That's absolutely not to do it would be Listen women women that's listening to this already now and the woman I got online if a man wants you to do anything for us It's behind he is gay He is a homosexual and you are his cover Point blank period no real name is gonna let a woman or anybody else play around his anus Point blank period I kind of agree with tyros with that but also I just think that men are different Does it expose a certain femininity in a man when he allows that type of behavior and sexual Elaboration yes Yes, I have an experience that in a relationship or in someone that I'm dating so it's not much that I can talk on it But there are there are some straight men that I've heard talk about it and you know, there's nothing that seems feminine about them outside of that and then there are some Straight men that absolutely think it's Homophobic like tyros, you know, but again, I have an experience that in the bedroom with a man So I can't say your name In my opinion, there is no man that will want that period even if it happened to them There's no man that would desire something like that in my opinion How do you feel about your mental zone? That's what you're doing you're right looking but You just got a no by your woman Oh my god, not bad enough men are not making me kind of treat it They might be well, how do you feel about that stage for my does? Because because I'm sorry, JSA. That's a man.

That's a man that's here talk about it And it wasn't nothing I'm feminine about it. I want to say that those men are allegedly straight instead of the column straight Allegedly I'm just like the situation with jazz. They say I know of men that Do I have had it done and I know that they're not okay men. They're not attracted to men.

They're not attracted submit. Yeah No, I don't have that type of um I don't think that they're um I know a hundred percent this maybe two other bunches naggy Um, but men do this I Big as a bunch You said two out the bunch how big is the bunch? Maybe about five guys. How about guys?

So two out of five go ahead go ahead continue. Okay, so what I'm saying is I know that they have been that desire that type of energy in the bedroom. I do not believe that you guys are gay I'm not sure if it's happening every time they're in the bedroom, but I do know that there's a lot of men they're like that Yeah, it's almost as if the ones that have been exposed to it They like it from the kind of feedback that I've that I've received, you know, um And the ones that are completely against it are the ones that it just has never, you know, they never experienced it But do I think these men are you know, do I believe them just because I'm at me like that particular pleasure? Now does that make him attracted to another man?

I don't believe that that's necessarily so That's my opinion on the matter. Yeah, and this person is not being penetrated Which at all they are. Yes, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Yes Does that mean that that you're being printed? Does that mean that you are looking closely at that point?

There's no way around it. Uh I can't even say to each of them because guess what? No, it's not necessarily happening with me No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no way. Yeah, some suspect behavior.

He's emasculated. He's but broken And the same as he wants his son to be the same way and he's encouraging the behavior Well, how does the the son's mother film about this? You know, you never hear about But a mother I think she's um I think she's gonna know I could be wrong about that, but I didn't want research to fuck I'm sorry, but for sure she was See I have an issue and I don't have any kids, but there's a certain issue that I have with You know men that have so Custody of their kids and then they have their ladies. They're not mothers of those children being full-time mothers of those kids That do not have their own kids Right, you know, ultimately she I mean she was raising these bars before she had a kid So it kind of makes sure wonder how would she be with her own flesh and blood And that's what any household with a stepmother or a stepfather You know, and I'm not saying that the mother should be taking care of me because if she's on fish, she's unfit But at the same token, you know The trauma and the dysfunction that sometimes we put our children through Just being with a parent that isn't biologically theirs You know, how can you really gauge?

How a kid is treated if that's not really their parent if that makes sense Because they're not gonna care as much. Yeah, and I'm not saying that you can't love a kid That's not yours like your own, but you know, my thing is is how how do you really know In every situation, you know, and like I saw a video with the kid they were on a golf court or something like a cart or something and Ziya was his driving. I don't know his name, but Ziya was driving and it was right here Okay, Ziya Ziya had a scrunchie on on his wrist I'm saying to myself Okay He's made a lot of sense about being in this world and living your truth and being happy and I agree with that You know, but the pretension about the the scrunchie just kind of threw me off I can see if he had a wig on As as as wrong or as different or as you know, I don't know, some people may have called it This little boy walking around with a wig on but you had no wig on you had a baseball cap with a feed and an A scrunchie on the wrist for what? You know, like just be truthful be who you are you don't have hair in your head to even To even have a scrunchie on I don't walk around a scrunch on my wrist, you know, it's just I don't know That was a bit much for me and it's just The flamboyance of it some some of that flamboyance is just unnecessary to me Now somebody that is flamboyant or no, some of this flamboyant made disagree with what I'm saying And he said it's completely necessary, but that's just my opinion So so you guys think I'm sexualizing kids at this young age, that's kind of failure like there's a difference between supporting certain things They people going right diving right and something.

I think sexualizing kids at this young age is better. I think it's abusive You know, that's almost that's almost like allowing your child to be extremely obese. That's not the kids fault. That's the parents fault You know, I agree with Snick's when she said that, you know Is it necessary to Allow them to start identifying with their sex the way that they're doing and And possibly like maybe a year or two from now they may have it in the works from that Surgery like sex change surgery.

It's just too soon for that to me You know and you see a lot of this in households where they can afford to do this kind of stuff You know If that was just a random black family, none of this would be we wouldn't even be talking about this Yeah, the child the little boy may be gay. I he may be sweet, but we wouldn't be talking about sex change at all It's been quiet. I'm just listening, but I'm just trying to figure out like as a parent What you know, what's up? What's your mind?

You know go through if he was ever a child like that I always like say to myself like I see feminine ways in my younger son He's only five right I'm not like You know, maybe like don't do this and don't do that. I kind of like watch, you know Kind of like not I'm just observe The situation I put I'm not gonna be letting myself walk around talking about his name is kashay And we're wearing wigs and we're playing with dolls and we're doing this I'm not doing that Right Yeah, it's like the point you want to support your kid and being who they are even if you don't like it because at the end of the day You don't want the world to swallow your kid up, you know You don't want your kid to be bullied to a point to where they're so unhappy or even without bullying just being so unhappy that they want to take Their own lives, you know, that's not what we're going. We don't want mental instability I think I think that You have to know your children and you have to kind of like Gaze the situation, but just pushing it on them. I just do not agree with and I'm just I'm just pushing what you say pushing on what you mean about it.

That's what I'm like Okay, so now, you know, you decided that you want to be trans. Okay, so let's let's start changing your name and let's start Like what you come to me and say you're trying like your chance. You're you want to try you know, try and whatever I don't want to do one thing so we're sending you body, but You want to be another Sex I don't think I should be at this point in, you know, you're 12 and I'm changing your name. I'm changing your hair I'm letting you wear dresses and I'm I just think that's just over Join it If my son At 12 decided to say so listen, I think that I should be a girl But I don't know how it's handled But is this child doing any counseling any therapy any because all this still needs to be I said because I would want to know what would make you want At that you could the personality that fully developed until you're 12 years old Based on psychology books.

No, let me but What no we had a discussion before Yeah, I'm saying like based on psychiatry. I'm not talking about scientific. I'm talking about emotions and what you feel is What's going on because kids go to stages? Right, so when you're going through those stages, I'm telling you all like the personality is fully developed in 12 And then you begin to build upon it as you go over But at a 10 to 8 to 12 or 11 or before then you're deciding that you want to be another six another gender They got assigned you to be Do you think that's something mentally wrong with that person there?

It could be mental it could be trauma like my guess is something could have happened And they're like that they have not resolved yet So that's why I think that we need to go to the proper stages before just allowing All of that the thing is there's no one knows what the proper stages are because again, you know, every child is different Like you say you got to kind of know your kid and be able to gauge your kid and do what's best for your kid Just like you don't raise every child the same because every personality is different strength of different weaknesses are different so, you know, um, but Do I do I think that they should be exploited? No, you know, I kind of feel like this is the way kid is being exploited to an extent You know What type of platform does he really need to do all this? It's not really his platform. It's his parents platform It's his parents that has so much to say before he ever did You know, like you don't the prepared a world for anything.

That's between you and your family And so they've taken on the world with this and it's you know, there is a level of exploitation to me with this You know, I wonder do that so what do you guys think about the actress Charlie? Charlie's everyone because she adopted a black kid and I think that's absolutely wrong because for one Not your child kind of like a bro. Yung and bro. Okay.

This is not your kid and the whole condition with white and black That's just completely unacceptable because the you know It is history that the oppressor has tried to feminize our black men So for her to do that, that's completely out of line of me for me completely I just not just go out of my way. Not even watching her movies When they said the eight of the way every case is that I'm not there. Not the white's not actually And it's like she has such an arrogance about it as if she knows this is what it is and it's nobody's business and by law You know, she has that right. She has those parental rights So now it's like okay, you have a kid take care of your kid I think the other thing is that I know what's going on Yeah, they're just Charlie's there when she adopted his black kid, right?

And what happened is she had the black male kid. She has dressed him up like a girl and changed his name as a girl She has to live in like a girl And I think there's a sex change happening or about to happen or something Wait, wait, wait, wait, this is not her child request at least Yeah Once it but at the same token, how do you really know he's younger than 10? It's like I thought my sister was small though like this Exactly so those states that he should he should freely go through or be it could be misinterpreted You know and because of that lifestyle changes have been have been made on his kid and he can't even fully grow into his own But she has been she has personal issues also that she probably have not dealt with that she's putting off on this child Like our boys are not baby dolls. They're not toys for you to put up on the shelf take off dress up And then show to the world and exploit and I just feel like that's what she's doing That's you know But she has passed on with also that she has not dealt with Her time was about what what they got to do with us?

Oh, it doesn't have absolutely nothing to do with us What I'm saying is she's having her trauma also this child that she has no business doing The child had to be black Correct that happens to be black and she's African or South African or whatever and she you know her family had a lot of Violence and it growing up A judge just made a great point. Oh y'all out there. That's um, I don't have enough protection sex. Don't deal with your traumas first Deal with those traumas first before you break another life into this world and pass that stuff on to the kids Oh, it's really any type of mental evaluation before these people this has to go adopt these kids or because they have the money they could just Money I really do good.

Not just that though. If you really look at the last everything most most white most white people they're that black He's absolutely But what would she do growing a black man in America like See not she wants to grow a black girl in America. That's my point You know what we could better raise our son And I'm just being real as black women especially without the father So what is a white woman gonna do with raising a black man in America? Or in Africa for that matter wherever he is in the world.

How how do you even qualify? That's the bigger question. That's there. They are unqualified some of us damn unqualified, okay, okay, but that's true But I believe just unqualified such a bullock, you know, it's raising a black kid.

You know your You know, so I don't know but And I'm just and I'm just speaking of my spices with white people I'm just telling that All right, so speaking about terabytes of black people down on Trump Down on Trump it was often and patiently he could have been removed from office easy But people miss they shot. You know that old saying once you strike the king you got to kill him They struck him, but they didn't kill him and Now he's not only just firing people that went against him. It looks like he just about to wear the walk back into the white house again because Oh, she sticks Yeah, okay, but uh Donald Trump It looks like he's about to be a walk back into the white house because our options in a democratic party or Biden Oh, there's Bernie sentence Elizabeth warning warning and racism is Michael Bloomberg So What is your take on this? I don't think that the democre I agree.

I don't think that the democratic party is strong enough. I don't think that This is a season for the democrats. Honestly, oh, you know, any strong democrats That had a chance to fell out of the race for whatever reason. Hey, this is politics a lot of things going behind closed Those were people have forced out, you know, and it's not always about money You know, so um, I don't know he made me back in the white house I've kind of grown a little numb to it.

It's out of my hands. I can vote, you know, I can whatever I do What is destined to happen? It's going to happen. You know, even though does he deserve to be in the white house?

Do I believe that? No Do I think that everything is written already? Yes You know, if it's for him to serve eight years, that's what he's going to do You know, and I don't have much faith in the democratic party, which honestly I don't have much faith in any Political party, right because ultimately ultimately they're the same Ultimately, you know, I can't be so biased that I can't admit that just because I am a democrat So you identify the democrat? Out of the two democrat out of the two democrat.

Do I think democrat may be a lesser evil? Yes Take democrat out of it. Do I think anybody may be a lesser evil than trump? Absolutely It can be another republican less than less than evil compared to him a lesser evil.

Should I say? You know, but again, if he's if it's for him to run he's and get it he's going to get it Huh? This man knows he's had odd stacked against him from the first run So the people that has put him in office. Don't you think that they've they've been the powers that be to make sure that he stays I mean, what president what president of his stature of his incompetence Will be able to still be in office.

I'll give you a perfect example run away again Okay So you think ronald reagan thank you relied trump. Yes, incompetent did eight years plus they had four years of joys w bush No joy w h bush not the oh, sorry, but the father So and I think this is what's going to happen now I think that i'm trump is going to serve four more and then the pen the side of the run we're going to get four years of pens Because because the democratic party has been very arrogant And thinking the black people are going to show up to vote for them when they don't offer anything Mm-hmm a lot of black people have turned republican Especially after i'm a go ahead You know and that's from i've heard people say that oh i'm a publicate Oh, i have been in public and all my life on republic and i they mean i like trump but they don't we don't trust the democrats We do not trust the democrats. We don't trust them. Well, have they done for black people?

They do not have the black vote You know as much as they have in the past Right and it's all about lgbt. I mean just be real and it's all about latina Everything we could take a raffle down with that even though some black people have come to that conclusion But we could thank you for that. Hey, he was not he wasn't the he wasn't the black president in all The world wasn't ready to have a black man in office. Let's just be real america wasn't ready The world was ready let alone have a black man that was a pro black man and making a change It's for black people that was just not gonna happen even if that was a part of his agenda It was just not gonna happen You know it was not gonna happen and i would like to think of a rock Obama is more than just a token But there's a little truth to him being the token black president You take a biracial man who really isn't of african-american descent.

He's african descent and white Okay, he's not you know, he was african-american but his roots aren't Right And even his story was fake like I think became always third as you know He struggled throughout life and all the things but they really do research on his grandfather Well, the grandfather was grandfather was one of the richest people in america Barack Obama never had a struggle in his life He definitely had a silver spoon definitely definitely now He may have decided as a young adult to step away from that and get a little more into the culture into the black neighborhood in chicago And what have you but that's about it. That's about it. I mean He like again, you know, he doesn't come from the african-american struggle. He wasn't even raised by it He wasn't raised by it.

He can identify it to an extent. He didn't live it So we're done with trump though with him and this is sort of a blue-black republicans unfortunately Do you think what do you think that this world is gonna look like under trump for black people? Um, I think it's gonna Look like how it's been looking and worse, you know, there is no voice for black people, you know on hill And it's definitely not now that again, you know, we shot but we didn't kill We lost a shot So he's it's almost as if he's invincible on the hill You know, and it's not to say that only black people against trump and all white people are for him because that's not the case Either you got a lot of white people that hate him or you know, really dislike him You got some and I know some millennial black a black man particularly he was grateful for trump just for a tax break So you know, you know, so it hits people differently You know, you got some people that love money. They love business.

So that's first and foremost You don't get anything about the culture. You don't get anything about, you know, the black experience or the black pain or the future of the black Child, you know, it's all about their current state and in this day and age is all about getting the bag So question and I know it's just you know, I thought this was basically like the honest culture the black people see themselves as individualistic. We don't see each other As a camaraderie. We don't see each other as like a one army, you know Do you think what do you think that is?

We see we saw individualistic as a whole and we just were some people are just individualistic And it just worried about what they could get and not worried about the future of the kids and I said the whole How do you think it is? I think it's just a part of the condition, you know, the unity was broken up decades ago and Instead of we instead of us instill into be one. It's all about you better take care of yourself You better take care of you. So it's a selfish mentality.

So how do you go from Because there's so much pain I think in just a black community that we don't trust ourselves with each other We don't trust each other So we rather just stick to ourselves and move that way than to bring the crew along Because everybody's just so disloyal. We're not teaching loyalty even though people talk about that's what they want But nobody's really living it. So we don't know what it really is people think loyalty is going to take a dime for somebody and gel What's wrong with you? You know, like we got it confused No, loyalty is giving back to your community You know going to the schools maybe or just taking one kid that you know and spending time with that kid teaching them something that they're not going to learn At home or in school or you know on the block So it's all about individuality and everybody wants to be different so much so that we're all the same and we don't even realize We take this hope for black people Always hope you know, I always hope because it started with us and I believe it's going in with us So it's always hope but at the end of the day, you know I just think that prophecy has to come to pass, you know things get worse before they get better And this is not the worst.

I don't believe After we have to work. I think Yeah, we have to work right now I think there there were a lot of strides made, you know with the whole black lives matter and you know that did bring a certain Conversation and community together that did that, you know, we were in high school and in college that didn't exist Right That was co-opted and the blue lives matter and all that matter Mexican brown lives matter So it seems as if It seems as if when black people do express their pain or they express hey listen We understand that you know, we're like a matter of what you guys are like. I was on and we got people there's so They're so dedicated to making sure that I love no matter or they're so dedicated to acting like our pain doesn't matter They it becomes lost in the shuffle because we have you So let's just say for instance somebody like a Bernie Sanders was a pull off a miracle What do you think four years on a Bernie Sanders will look like Um Because I can't say that I trust Bernie Sanders, okay, you know, I just don't trust any of them You know, so it's hard for me to say Um, when I think that he had an agenda for black people I don't know. I don't think he currently has an agenda in his in his campaign for black people.

Does he maybe you know more than me? Nope, they say Bernie. What do you think about reparations? So black people give reparations It's free labor that we gave the United States and because the United States got rich off of free black labor They got What's the because of black people or instead of say no Let me tell you nobody is going to say that Because it would bankrupt the country if they gave us what we're old And honestly, and I'm not saying that we don't deserve that.

I'm not saying we shouldn't get anything But it's just not a smart business move for america. So they will never do it They would never admit that that's what they need to do So, you know, so they're not gonna allow that conversation to get too far It would bankrupt the country You really think if they paid us what is due to us that this country would still be able to say Yes, you know why can't they spend trillions of dollars on other types of focus news? Okay They have enough money to give us It's just the fact that they don't want to give it to us now that you're sorry when we say reparations is what what amount are we talking about? We're talking about like it's a certain amount are we talking about just land because that can be given to us But a lot of us with the land some of us do have we sell it real quick So does the shiny dime come around we've given it to the eyes, but what afraid is that's going around is cutting the check We want to check Right and when I say money.

Yeah money But but understand something though. They're just beginning the reparations your financial point with the money We need free education. We need free counseling You get what I'm saying? We need free counseling.

We need to be able to open businesses and corporations and To not be text read right and to not be talking about police They'll start making laws that if you kill on on black person and you get punched life We need Money is just beginning But everything else that comes along with reparations we want that too Yeah, I mean you can start somewhere it can start somewhere even if it's with free education Even if it's for like, you know, open up business like that be text free like the Asians got or let's say the Japanese got You know, anything is something we've received nothing except affirmative action and honestly Today that they benefit white women and gay white males. So we get that either Because they can sit in my room. Yeah, so it's nothing So just in America. They want you to pull yourself up by your own bootstraps at all all times when you're a person of On your black.

I didn't even see a person color on your back Yes So yeah, but yeah, I do agree reparations can start somewhere you can start anywhere You know, if it's just not a flat-out check or just land it can be other things counseling How about the unconditioning of the miseducated ego? You know all of that would have been a start to reparations. Absolutely So jazzy bossa really get up out of here Valentine's day is coming up. What's your plan?

I don't have any plans. I'll be working on Valentine's day Okay How about saying what night? Why the heck night? Okay?

I don't have any plans. Um, my mom's birthday is sad I'll probably just be focusing on her a little bit, which that's how you heard the every year. Of course, you know So that's where my energy is going to be Have birthday to your mom. Tell us.

I have your birthday I don't know if she remembers me in the next every minute. Yeah Yeah, but um I think it was what a positive statement is Um You know in this day and age exploitation is is so high You know that sometimes we exploit things or you know, we exploit matters or people Family friends, whatever. We don't even realize I have some of us that intentionally explore and so we need to be mindful Can you hear me? Oh, hello?
