Because we've been in here and we've talked to people for like 30 minutes. And they be like, nigga, are we recording? I was like, yeah, yeah, we got all that. You know what I'm saying? So I always try to at least let people know a little bit because sometimes they can start talking a little candid. Yeah. He be like, I didn't want that on the show. I was just talking shit regular.
You know what I'm saying? But yeah, man, this is episode 100 and something. We don't know when this comes out. You know what I mean? We just, we knock them out. It's kind of become a signature thing. Thank you. Thank you. We have, you know, civil rights activists, like somebody who's really boots on the ground, nigga. You know what I'm saying? Blue vest pulled up, you know what I mean?

Both, yep. I taught sixth grade math in East New York, Brooklyn. My kids, the kids I taught are... 30 now, which is crazy. I taught 18 years ago. Sixth grade math was the best. And then I was the chief of human capital for the school system in Baltimore. So we had 200 schools, 10,000 employees. I managed everything to deal with adults.

Chapter 3: What experiences shaped DeRay McKesson's activism?
The highest in the country is six, D.C. There are two states that have no numbers, so the floor is two. But like, what would your, like, how big, how big do you think we could win? Like, you gotta go in a room and convince people. How big do you think we could do?
Okay, so you have, for the most part, people are always gonna have their right hand man. Like, you came in with your guy. So that's the thing. So, well, no, no, no. Okay. So, and then I come here with my guy. He's gonna come here with his guy. And then Rose will come here. So that's eight people just meeting in one space. Not necessarily gang activity.
Just naturally how people move around the world. So I can't look at a group of eight and say that's a gang. I would think it would be more like 12 to 15.
12 to 15?
Yeah.
Okay. Do you think you could convince people of 12 to 15?
Yeah, absolutely.
And 15?
I can't because you can't convince me of three.

Chapter 4: How can individuals get involved in activism?
And even you talking about these things, like, gets to them and it matters. You know what I mean? The problem is, like, nobody is... Nobody sort of understands who those people are that are making the decisions.
Yeah, well, I'm glad you... I mean, probably 20 minutes in, I was like, yeah, this is perfect. Because... I get... You know, people ask me a lot of questions and I tell them, like, I just don't have the answers. Like, I don't work in policy. I don't work in organizing. I was literally driving a truck 10 minutes ago.
Like, I'm advocating for people because I care and I give a fuck and I still have a lot of learning to do on... more so the side of things that you do, but I know that, like, I can amplify voices. I know that I'm well-read enough to, like, encourage people to give a fuck about being Black.
But you do have a perspective on policy.
I do. You do. I do, absolutely.
That you can defend, which is helpful.
Yeah.
Some people can't defend it. You're like, why 12? But, like, being able to defend it is half the battle.
Yeah, for sure. Well, now I know that, though. See, before, I had no idea that I was, like, I'm engaged with policy all the time. But now, yeah, now that I know that, I'm finna pop that shit. Like, for real. Yeah, they're going to policy change.

Chapter 5: What are acceptable consequences for theft without prison?
Yeah. What would be your consequence for a theft? So like say somebody did steal something over $2,500. What do you think would be an acceptable, if it's not prison, which I agree, and we think about like accountability without cages, that we can hold people accountable without putting them in cages. What would be an acceptable consequence that you think you could sell?
Um... That's interesting. The first thing I think about is, like, how I simulate consequences with my kids.
Chapter 6: How does personal experience shape views on accountability?
So, like, for instance, I tell my kids, like, stay out of my room when I'm not home. So if I catch them in my room, and, like, while they're in the midst of, like, entertaining friends and stuff, I just go in their room. I just stay in there. They be like, what the fuck?
They are like, get in my room.
And they be like, God. I'm like, you see that feeling that you feel? It's like... That's all I'm asking from you. So the same way you want me to respect your room and your space, because now the stakes are high. You have company and you have all this and that. Like, I just want the sanctity of my room to be private. There's nothing in there for you. Right.
And it's like just simulating those consequences. Like more than anything, people need to know what the effects that other people are feeling. They need to feel those effects themselves. So then that's what changes perspective for me. Right. Like when I used to steal out of Walmart, steal out of dealers and shit like that. And it's like, I just don't have the money.
So it's like, okay, this is a free food.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of social programs on crime and accountability?
This is a free hat. Cause I'm going to a party night. I'm a little polo. I'm going to a party night. You know what I'm saying? I don't got a money, but I want to look good. And yeah, You know, I've never been like a breaking somebody's house type vibe. But then when I get older and it's like, I had started selling these shirts and I left like a few of them on the backseat. Like, whatever.
It was whatever. Somebody, I left my car unlocked. Somebody took the shirts. And I was like, damn. I was like, that's fucked up. Like, they just took money out of my pocket. And I was selling shirts for like $30 a piece. I was like, damn, that's $100, bro. And I was like, oh, shit, bro. That's what I was doing. Maybe this is my karma for that. But I think it's just an understanding.
It's like, if we have social programs and people can take the selfish need out of it, Of I need this right now. So like, fuck them. Fuck how it affects them. Fuck the consequences. People need a bigger understanding of like, you know, to put yourself on the other side of this crime. How would it make you feel?
And of course, you know, we have like a percentage of the population of sociopaths that don't give a shit.
Chapter 8: How do systemic issues affect wealth and incarceration?
But that's not the people that we're trying to help.
So you would say like a mandatory, I would make you enroll in like some sort of social program.
It would have to be a social program because I know like DUI risk reduction, those type of classes where you have to see, where you have to listen to mothers who lost children. These are things that people understand. and maybe get policy passed or mandated because it can happen to anybody.
So the most tragic thing is a child leaves from graduation night, goes to a party, gets drunk, kills him and his friend, and they were supposed to have this bright future together. Like when we understand it, when it affects people who can make policy change, who may not be in lower or impoverished classes, They know how to affect those things.
So there's this program in Georgia called Mothers Against Drug Driving. And you basically listen to testimonies from mothers who lost their children drunk driving. And I think the way that people hate to go to those, it's because they know what the... Because now you feel the effects of like, damn, bro, I don't understand.
House arrest, yes or no? Would that be a consequence for felony theft? This is a push to understand, not a push to challenge.
No, no, no. It's something I'm trying to wrap my head around, too. House arrest, you know, I'm going to keep it real. It seems ideal until you have to be on house arrest. Until you can't leave your house. Like, niggas are old. Yeah, I think that. I think that's fair.
I'm only asking because this is the policy question. It's like, so if we say we shouldn't put people in prison, the question is, like, what is the consequence?
Well, and I think then it goes from... Because what you get in a situation like this, more than anything, is people weighing the punishment versus the crime. And it's like, okay, am I willing to be locked in my own house for six months? Right. Am I willing to be locked in my own house for a year? Right.
