Negro

Well, so I come into town 'cause the Mets are in town, and so we had the day, right, in between game one and game two, we went to, "Hey, what are you doing? Let's go to the Negro League R- uh, Hall of Fame." So we went and we're in the, um, we're in the [laughs] we're in the gift shop, and of course, who doesn't love a good gift shop?

Yeah.

So I'm looking at the, you know, whether I wanna buy the New York Black Yankees hat or the, you know, Alabama Negroes hat, right? And I'm like, "Do I..." So m- my buddy's behind me, Tom Becca, who I think was on KCMO.

Yes.

He is, yes.

Was it? Yeah.

Yes.

So, um, um, so he's behind me and I'm like, "Do I want the Black Negroes hat or the Alabama, you know, Negro this?" And the, and I'm looking, I'm putting the hats on, I'm like, "I like this one." And I'm throwing out Negro and Black and this and that and all the-

In 1962, Leander Perez was a state judge and political boss of Plaquemines Parish in Louisiana.

Negroes, he said, are, quote, animals right out of the jungle.

Passion, welfare, easy life, that's the Negro, end quote.

Perez, along with other Catholics like E.W. Gravelet and B.J. Gaylot, lorded their racist views over the county's nearly 4,000 black citizens.

Reportedly, while he was dying of bullet wounds at the time of his lynching, uh, Wright was secured into an automobile by his feet and dragged around the streets of the town.

Determined to make a lasting impression on Sikeston's 1,000 Black residents, the driver of the car stopped momentarily at the front of each of the six churches in the Negro quarter where services were in progress.

He then drove along the Missouri Pacific Railroad tracks, where the Negro was cut loose from the car.

Uh, the crowd looked on for several minutes, and an elderly man in overalls walked up to him, poured gasoline all over him and lit him on fire.

Uh, this occurrence is something that happens around seven or so weeks after the bombing at Pearl Harbor, at a time when Americans' wartime patriotism is basically at a fever pitch.

Yeah

... hear this theory about that.

So, uh, in those cities, Detroit, Tacoma, Chicago, he cu- ends up cultivating Black separatist organizations, uh, the most famous of which is the Universal Negro Improvement Association, Marcus Garvey.

one? Oh, I believe you're talking about the black guy and the white guy in the airport where it sounded like the white guy called the black guy a negro.

They have an argument, it looked like, already about something.

And the white guy said, well, sound like Negro.

And the black guy went over and punched him and started fighting him.

Is that what you're referring to?

violent.

The white guy was just sitting there, and the black guy came up and started wailing on him.

They were having an argument, and then the white guy called him a Negro, but You didn't even address that yesterday.

In your socioeconomic background, behave.

So don't complain, Negro.

There is a

picture of me with my dad and I'm doing this in front of the African American Museum.

And then he was like, it just kind of happens in your life.

Depends on how you are taking care of yourself.

And then I went with my wife to this booty doctor just to have this Negro.

He wasn't a Negro.

I don't

fit the Negro image.

I mean, either.

Because here's the other thing, too.

How do I get in your pockets?

That's what they look at.

And they look at it like, and then they start, you know, there's information how to sell to Negro.

It was still applicable, but also the emotional aspect of it.

But I finished there last night, and here I am today in Oldham.

And I'd like to sing for you two Negro spirituals.

And the reason I'd like to sing these spirituals, these are songs that I was brought upon.

We'd go home from church on a Sunday and we'd play Jim Reeves or we'd play Paul Robeson.

They don't care nothing about the Black Lives Matter movement.

That has nothing to do with football because none of these Negroes live in these inner city communities that play in the NFL.

None of them care.

It's all virtue signaling.
