Welcome to Karen Hunter is awesome.

I am Karen Hunter and while yes, I am awesome, this podcast is about people and the things

that they have to offer to you.

I believe in speaking things into existence.

So it is with that, I offer you these amazing

people, these awesome topics. Sit back and enjoy. I spent a lot of time on YouTube looking at

folks in the platforms. And this gentleman, I play probably a Deonté Kyle clip at least twice a week

on these airwaves because there's a depth of understanding of

people that I haven't seen. I don't know how old he is. I don't know anything too much about him.

I know something's about him. We're going to get into that as well. But I want to say this because,

you know, I have a no-in-word policy on these airwaves and he uses that a lot but I was very conscious inviting him that I don't want to police his speech I don't want him coming in with a bow tie on I want him to be his full natural self I don't think that he would do anything other than to be that somebody in the nubia chat was like I don't know if you're going to get through an interview without the N word. He doesn't have to.

As you know, we are all required here to chew up the meat and spit out the bones. And I think he has a lot of meat. I think he reaches people that I don't reach or maybe can't reach or don't know to reach. And I think we need all hands on deck at this point. So he's got a popular podcast. is called Grits and Eggs, the Grits and Eggs podcast, which you can get wherever you get your podcast. Let me welcome the one and only. Deante Kyle. It's me. I'm here. How you doing, this, honey? How you doing? I'm good. I could probably have staying from the N-word, you know? Okay. Listen, I recognize, you know, it's rhythm of speech, right? So I was

raised in the N-word tradition in my household as well, and I have evolved over time to realize, you know,

the impact of words and using the master's, you know, denigration of us on one another, while we have

tried to make it into a term of endearment. It's like Chitlins to me at this point. Like chitlins are still in trails. They may taste good. You put hot sauce on them. They clean or whatever and they're delicious and we have them for special occasions. It's a delicacy. But it's still entrails and it's still not the choice meat. And we deserve the choice meat, which you talk about quite frequently. As a matter of fact, let me play a clip on global propaganda, which I really love.

Smith's play this clip from Deonti Kyle.

As we progress in this country, the further we get, and we have to have an understanding

that the last 40 years have impacted us so much when it comes to the war on drugs,

but specifically the people that are in those lower income communities.

And specifically people that live in like projects and shit like that.

Yes.

And these black ass cities that was targeted.
