IT'S UP THERE!

You being who you are. What do you say to black people? Black mothers, black fathers who have black children? The first thing I'm gonna say is if you're raising a black boy, you need to be very careful about the school district you send them to. And you need to be very careful about the county you live in. Because as you know, Lume, we make a little bit of money. The first thing we do is what? Black flight to the white suburbs. Black flight to the white suburbs. And then what we say is, well, my son is an athlete, he's not gonna have a hard time. Carmelo Anthony was captain of another football team. I think he was captain of the track or basketball team. But guess what? Look at the situation that he found himself in. And did him being a captain of his sports team matter? Lume, did you see his football team stand up for him? No. Did you see his basketball team stand up for him? No. Did you see his track team stand up for him? No. So you move out into a white suburb with your black athlete son, thinking him being an athlete is enough to save him. It's not. This does not mean Carmelo's mother and father were at fault for where they lived. I want to be clear. I'm simply saying going forward, Lume, if you're raising a black boy, you need to be very careful as to where you raise them and the school you send them to. Because what did I tell you before? In the previous conversation we had, when you are a black male, you are not given the benefit of a childhood. So, I'm saying, go on, Lume. If you're raising a black boy, you need to be very careful as to where you raise them and the school you send them to. Because what did I tell you before? In the previous conversation we had, when you are a black male, you are not given the benefit of a childhood.
