I mean, you could argue like if you're a baby, how do you get water?
But the baby doesn't have it.
So someone with the knowledge then feeds knowledge.
the baby, the water.
But it's important that those with the knowledge teach the baby how to find the water themselves.
And the business people that I've been dealing with have been keeping the baby sick by not sharing the information and the knowledge with inside of those contracts.
My people are sick.
If I load up Apple Music right now,
and I play the top songs in the rap chart, I will tell you my people are sick.
If I go to the restaurants in opportunity zones and we look at the calorie rating and the cholesterol, I will tell you that my people are sick.
If we look at the obesity rate,
If you go to just a restaurant somewhere in middle America, Denny's or something, I went to Denny's the other day, you will see that my people are sick.
And my people meaning all people, right?
But black people are very influential to all people.
So, right, if so, if the media picks a overweight black woman and says, this is body goals, then the media are influencing my people to stay sick.

Even if I say, hey, okay, I was frustrated for these reasons, now it's not good enough.
You've literally tried to make me re-apologize 10 times in this meeting, re-say this, re-say that, but it doesn't change the fact that my people are sick and I'm the only person in my position that will say that my people are sick.
Today, not 30 years ago, not 60 years.
My people are sick today.
