| 0:13.3 | Not black this month? |
| 0:14.5 | I feel like it doesn't feel very black this month. |
| 0:16.8 | I feel like people are like, we're over this. |
| 0:19.3 | Well, it's also because, you know, most of it got stripped. |
| 0:22.0 | So if you notice there's no more like, you know, honestly it's very, it's very funny. |
| 0:27.3 | Target was one of the biggest pushers of Black History Month in that like they would literally |
| 0:33.7 | decorate the store, have black products by like, black businesses. |
| 0:40.8 | That doesn't exist. |
| 0:41.8 | There's no black history commercials anymore right now. |
| 0:46.2 | I mean, if you have been following news, they legit are pulling stuff down like in Philadelphia, |
| 0:50.9 | in D.C., in New York, in Atlanta, of just like landmarks. Yeah, Philly sued. Oh, did Philly sue? They sued. I don't know. I don't know, you know, I don't know. Who sued? It's probably early days for that. The city, like the city council? Yeah. So like they ripped, they ripped down like some slavery monuments or some and who is they? |

| 1:21.8 | federal government went to Philadelphia and they had a monument that was talking about. I think it was the bus boycott scholar. Correct people wrong. But I know there's footage of them pulling that down. It's a couple of footage of certain things around Southeast C that have been pulled down. And I heard that was happening in Atlanta as well.
