you know, this place is ruthlessly segregated in a way. voice-verified

There's my city that I come from, Baton Rouge, is 55% Black, right? voice-verified

I went to a high school, McKinley High School, Black high school, but we had, it was white girls playing tiger paws on the thing, playing Panther paws on the driveway, right? voice-verified

Like, so, voice-verified

There's something that is more, there's a symbiosis there that exists just from humanity that just doesn't exist here. voice-verified

You can be out in some places here and just not see that many black people. voice-verified

For me to go and experience the black community in LA, I gotta travel for it. voice-verified

And that's not, this is not a critique of Los Angeles because when I say this, I'm not talking about Los Angeles as a whole. voice-verified

There's a part of Los Angeles that is wholly black, but they make you drive for it. voice-verified

They make you go to get it. voice-verified

So, like, in Hollywood or Beverly Hills or wherever, West Hollywood, all these places that people think are L.A. voice-verified

because they don't go down and experience the other parts of L.A., man, you're talking about 2% black, 3% black. voice-verified

Like, there's nobody around. voice-verified

So yeah, it's that familiarity that we had back at home was sometimes mess with your head a little bit. voice-verified

Out here, it's totally different. voice-verified

If you're black and you're hanging out in a lot of these different places, you're qualified to be there. voice-verified

If you're in a soul house, oh my God, you're rich and all of that stuff like that. voice-verified

They don't push and pull on you. voice-verified

I'm just saying that you- It's social economics. voice-verified

Right. voice-verified
