That's fucking privilege.
You're not going to talk about a unicorn and talk about the mass, right?
You know, well, hold on, hold on. But like, just the fact of that, because we like facts and real, it's like, You're talking about like, what? Like black people were not allowed to own property for so long. Like this is just like what it was. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
We weren't even allowed to vote. Billy, Billy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But like also, but so, okay, let's just start like, just so we're all on the same page, because we're all pretty much agreeing, except for this topic. I'm acknowledging, let me rephrase it. Take my daughter. We can all agree. My baby is privileged as a motherfucker. She got Rolodex, she'll grow up and have property, she'll have down payment, she'll have education.
She'll have all of that because of her dad's hard work, right? Et cetera. So why didn't white privilege stop you? See, now you're putting words in my mouth. I didn't say white privilege stopped me. I didn't say anything else besides the fact we're going to acknowledge that It exists. I think privilege exists, but I don't think it's exclusively to white people. Correct, correct.
But just white privilege just happens to have a lot more advantages than some of the other ones. That's all. But I agree with you. There's privilege in all different types. But for example, if our grandparents, or great whatever, yeah, were allowed to own land, own property, go to good schools, had other grandparents who were attorneys, doctors, et cetera, would they not have a massive advantage?
No, because here's the thing.
Literally, that's just like math. What do you mean? Hold on, hold on, hold on.
So my daughter has all the things that we just talked about, and we acknowledge she has privilege. So how can you not acknowledge that there's white privilege?
I guarantee, yes, I agree.
Let me explain it to you. If a kid was here, I hate to, random country, and they're here and they grew up without running water, without electricity, without education, et cetera. All three of us, and they came here in this room today, and they're around us. All three of us would be a little bit more empathetic. We would be more open. We would see how we could help. We would pour into them.
If somebody just down the street came through and was like, yo, guys, Billie Jean, Andy Fusil, let me ask... we're a little less empathetic. Like it's just, it's built in us. It's empathy. Empathy is the difference. And that's why acknowledging things is important.
But now at the same time, it's not a hall pass. Now don't, no one get this much as confused that this is a fucking green light to be a victim. Well, it's been presented that way. I agree with you.
OK, so I actually have to be. There needs to be truth. Yes. And also to you. Like, I mean, since we met, like you grew up like. Let me just say, I think it's wrong for people to do that to you. Well, no. Let me go. Hold on. There's more to this.
Yeah.
100%.
Hold on, bro.
You are correct. I agree that it is bullshit that people discredit, not just you, but any race and their hard work and dedication and almost like villainizing people for how they were born, you know, because that's fucking ridiculous. And I think that you do have a right to be mad about that. Well, after fucking 40 years, it gets annoying.
Well, especially, and then you probably have even more because you're like, what are you talking about? Like, I've had black friends my whole life. Like, I played sports. Like, for you, like, it's like, Like, this is fucking stupid. What are you doing that? So that is validated as fuck to be angry. Yeah. Like, you are like, hey. Well, I'm not really angry. It's just like. Yeah, it's stupid.
