0:17.0

Y'all call him David Banner. I call him something else, but let me welcome David Banner.

0:21.0

Hello. How you doing? I am awesome. And so are you. I just want to jump in and I want your

definition of manhood. Black manhood or manhood. Oh, okay. So, hmm, okay, let's dissect.

Because it means something different to be a black man in America, to be a black man in this world, to be a melinated, you know, because we change monthly what we decide we want to be, whether we, you know, melanated, whether we're African, whether we're moors. I don't, I don't think we're far enough on this planet to argue that I think we need to accomplish some other things and figure out the other stuff later.
