that last night we were talking he was tired and he said lord have mercy i said man that's the african american sting so lord have mercy yes we need we need we need the creator's mercy we don't necessarily want is justice but we sure one is mercy yeah yeah i know i do know but the rest you know so today we wanted to talk about you know common sense things things that people do and then you kind of if you look at them and you kind of say why did we do that you know so we were we're going to jump around a lot of different subjects hopefully the subjects will help at yes here's one that is really i think is the most outstanding one is people crossing the street without looking both ways o there that is that they don't look the light don't change and they will go across the street like a horse with blinders right they won't look they just assume driving in the seattle area you know it's frustrating because people they don't go when the light is green and then you know them by the time it's your turn the light is turned turned red but one thing we were taught when the light turns green wait two seconds to make sure no cars are you know you run the red light you know so two seconds is good not five or ten but like two nd you know you look the cross walk is the right across walk and they're like oh d d dot a dot on i'm just generalizing deeded oh and their minds of constant nobody's going to hit them got a black person one cross the street and they're mine is you know that's yeah that's it so yeah that want that pedestrian and you know the way they change the traffic signals especially downtown and you know you got to like on nd avenue you come in trying to think what order it is and what it was but destiny and then by and then the cars and then there's another light for the cars they have two lights but i mean you've got to thinking you've got to proceed carefully you know you don't drive high well you know brother that's another topic you know so you know of course they've legalized you know we'd in the state of washington and you know exposed as opposed to just smoke at home you know but used to be out in the public there are folks that smoke and and you know and you could smell it and sometimes would be so bad sometimes you would drive down the street and you could smell the scent from somebody as car you got to roll up your window so it don't you don't get the contact or if somebody knows you you come up to hey brother how you do and you smell like you know four days of a bad week you know so it's yeah it's a lot just just walking and driving it's a lot and like as a driving one thing about driving especially on the freeway is that far left lane there are radically a lot of places just for passing but people will be in that lane slowing down traffic all they have to do is get over but they'll stay in their lane for miles and miles and you try to get by but sometimes you can't because there's another car i think i heard one time and state patrol was saying people need to move over because what they do they end up backing up more traffic causing more congestion so if you're in the far left lane and you're doing will proceed on oh my goodness oh my goodness so we're making light of stuff but stuff is serious but we're kind of making it like in light and kind of a joking way because i think people maybe remember it more and it's more plausible possible to to except it so well when i was going up there was some golden rules look both ways before you cross the street exactly you know and it didn't that just didn't come from the house it was people that don't use common sense but how did that come about and i were people don't even think about their own safety well one of the things and i don't know if this is a stretch but and i'm not blaming the schools but one of the things schools used to teach certain things you know like civics i don't if they still do or not in college they tell you you know ethics you know you have to be have some responsibility for yourself if you're predestined you know those saying well the pedestrian's always right you might be right but you might be all banged up or did you know so it's a lot of things in society inflate it and these type of issues so you know commonsense you know you you know you look at you could look at religion you know where religion has lost the common sense factor you know things have gotten mixed into the religion and you know just like i was short somebody on  facebook that you know the original easter were where the word easter came from and what it was and so forth and so on and the person said well you know a lot of religion stuff has been mixed up and so for and yeah that that's true but what are we highlighting are we highlighting they resurrection of christ jesus supposedly or are we highlight in the  bunnies and the eggs so one person responded back well it's for the children you know so it's like well are we supposed to teach our children what is real and what isn't you know and we can get into the rituals even and i was alone you know what do they mean what do they represent you know they have a deep deeper meaning and you know you you you can go into that either now or  little bit later but you know people just kind of i think we're we're programmed just to kind of go through life and you know blinders on just going to go with the flow and and the people who make the james are the ones who go outside and flow ye they they ordered him or did they gave him the death penalty and gave him the option of taking poison he could do is all you can do is own demise yeah but the simple fact that oh i think the reason was because you're changing the says it has the on the periodical chart it has science on it and it's the science doesn't care which you yeah i was going to say good point i was going to wear that but i didn't bring that went but it's a science yeah yeah and we know in religion there are certain things that are symbolic they're not like this actually happen they're whys and they say this is symbolic love this is just symbolic symbolic language here but we look at it as being literal as being literal you know one more thing i would get try to get back to i think in terms of religion now i was given this talk about black history month and i said i went to the bible because i had a big picture of a jew why jesus right right  what is it a bible i think is a book of revelation and it talks about the color there were describing what god look like ok say hair that was white like lambs wore so that tells me he got pushed emotionally in the society has taken over the rational thinking i read in the bible where it talks about the heathens other ones that go out in the forest and chop down trees or or why or why am i being bombarded with this christmas i did everywhere you know it's christmas spirit jingle bells you know all this kind of stuff most people don't say that disto make a contradiction it's a contradiction they go with the flow yeah they go with the flow and and going back to walking across the street and that's what everybody does they just do it they just do it and talk about getting high you know you talk to people now they say we is legal like that means something new it still has the same effect on you want to word legal you know alcohol didn't used to be legal exactly you know and so so rituals without understanding rituals without understand it all right so oh here's washing before and after and after you've been out in the world yeah you've been handling money you've been shaken people's hands are even touching the railings and doing different things your hands are obviously dirty and full of germs but yet you will go t i saw a documentary on blood diamond yeah i just said sit out there they're using child labor in africa to my nose diamonds and more children yeah and when they after every day's work they strip and i search and make sure they have no diamonds on any gold and i think more so with the gold would go ok but the point is they look up the cavities and thing certain class of people and this is unfair with certain families or in family control it control it and they actually showed i think it was was a debater's thing yeah yeah they actually showed how do follow the same course that the general population follows you know would play would we're buying into that that we know got to have a diamond ring royal wedding ring this is of like this diamond earrings and all that they call it when it's been checked that they didn't have to go through all of those you know child labor or is that a false narrative or is that something that might be real i remembered it had no to name me they got a name for yeah yeah it's  the stamp on stuff that's allow you know and other things that nature yeah so i brought this up because because as african americans we should be more sensitive that it's our people right that are being is almost like slave labor in the simple fact that there are no unions you know and they're using child labor and these days children subjected to and and talk about africa the motherland all this stuff and they fall into a trap they fall into a trap and who's getting that money we're not getting that money rather this is africa and i get that money who's getting that money on the same subject but meanwhile not on the same thing but just a little different twist what country is going into africa now big time china china is going africa into africa big time and there i think african brothers is going to make the same mistake when the other call colonizers came in they got they got the minerals and everything and  information about africa we have to ask people who travel and they can tell us different things but i know one thing china is in their big time now you know they're doing stuff and then it's it's amazing it's amazing we got about a little less than two minutes i would how you want to closely so well so much they would come in and you all just sit back let us take over everything but even with their approach i'm talking about the approach is deep they have people in africa that are learning african languages  so i guess we can wrap this up by saying that it's important for people to start thinking more about the safety and it's also important for parents to teach your children some of the old old bedrock food we yeah because because the people who saw the list of food don't care what we care all they care about is making a book and making the money well on that note we think our audience i know we want a different subject we might have to do a part two but the ben s boss thank you very much thank you sir yes and we thank our technician and i won't say his name because he's a humble humble young man thank you all very much and thanks for watching peace and prayers
