Blexit: Leaving the plantation with Yadusha Williams
2024-07-26 00:58:54
America Out Loud is the premier news network with a diverse array of talk shows that inform and inspire. A daily resource for smart people.
Pirates vs. Tyrants, this is the Tom Ren Show where we practice piracy on the enemies of freedom and liberty.
Hello, everybody, and welcome to the show. I am excited to be here today, and I am excited to introduce you to someone who is new in our world, new to us. I had the opportunity, you know, we were in Nevada here a couple weeks ago, and we were doing a Save Nevada, Save America event, which is very true. Nevada is a key swing state in the election going forward, and we really need to secure that state. And, honestly, securing Nevada for Trump really just means securing Reno and securing Las Vegas, because the rest of the states are red as can be.
So we did an event over there, and while I was there, I had the privilege of meeting my new friend, Yadasha Williams, who I have failed epically in pronouncing her name until now, but she's corrected me today. And Yadasha immediately struck me as someone that I wanted to bring on and tell her story, because her story is inspiring, right? Yadasha is leading Nevada, Blexit right now, and for those of you that may or may not know, Blexit is much like, we've talked a lot about Lexit, Latinos exiting the Democrat Party. Blexit is blacks exiting the Democrat Party. It was founded by Candace Owens, and has really spread and grown throughout the country in a pretty big way.
And again, Yadasha is the state leader in Nevada, and for good reason, for good reason. Her story is inspirational, and the thing about it is, is she demonstrates and lives the reality that you don't have to deal with what you have. You can be more if you choose to do what you've got to do to get there. And that's foundational, right? That's foundational.
The idea of equal outcomes, equity, is a fallacy. It doesn't work. That's communism, that's socialism. It never works, and there are no equal outcomes, because when you have communism, the leaders have everything, everybody else has nothing, and so the only equality is the equality of nothing that most people have, while a few leaders have everything.
But equal opportunity is foundational, and equal opportunity doesn't mean we start from the same spot. It means that we have an opportunity to do whatever we can with what we have. Natural selection decides where you're at in the universe when you're born, but what you do and what you choose to do is what makes you who you are. We had a great leader who mentioned once or twice, you know, this whole content of character being the defining characteristic of people and what we should look at when we judge people. I believe in that 100 percent, and Yadasha really embodies that.
Mom of four, which, of course, is to me one of the most important things you can be, a leader, an activist, and just an awesome person. Yadasha, how are you today?
I am beautiful, thank you. How are you doing?
Well, I'm wonderful. I'm very excited. You know, it's interesting. We run around with people who occasionally are, you know, real, well-known, and we sit with all these people, and my bookers and my people always want me to, hey, can you get this guy in for an interview? And I kind of don't care, typically.
You know, we all know the stories that are out there, but what we don't know is we don't know stories like yours, and your story is incredible, and something that I think is absolutely necessary for people to hear, because the thing about you is you didn't come from a position of money or power or authority. You didn't have anyone hand you anything with a silver spoon. You just made decisions, worked your tail off, and have really done some remarkable things. And I was so inspired when we met that I wanted people to hear your story, because I want people to understand that, even with the issues we all face as Americans right now, you can still really do good things in your life if you choose to do it. So I think you embody that.
So tell us a little bit about your background. I mean, you're leading Blockset for the state of Nevada. You've got a couple successful businesses, you know, you're doing, and doing things, but it didn't start out that way. Where'd you get started?
Definitely not.
So I'm a native of Nevada, born and raised. It was a whole lot different back then than it is now. So that's what led me into becoming an activist, because when you're from Nevada, especially in Clark County, that's like the Las Vegas, Henderson, Summerlin area. When you're from that area, you know, growing up out here, that the curriculum for education is non-existent. There is no curriculum.
You can literally go to one school and be the smartest kid in a class, go across the street to another school, be the dumbest kid in a class. They do not educate kids properly out here, and it's really hard to get advanced. So even when you make it to high school, you're still fighting to the rest of the world because you're still not good enough. And so when you're beneath everybody else, because you have nobody driving you, pushing you, saying, come on, make it, it's even more harder. I grew up in a large family, and there was no one there saying, you can do it, and no one helping me with work, anything.
I'm like, it was very hard for me growing up. I'm one of 13 siblings, and I'm number nine.
Yeah, our family is pretty big, and, with that being said, I was the first girl in my family to even graduate high school.
Congratulations.
And a lot of people are like, that's great, and I'm like, I'm the first one in my family to have a degree out here in Nevada. Nobody has a degree.
You guys, so you actually, you not only graduated high school, you actually went to college, despite being one of 9,000 children, and no one else having made it. I mean, you really, I mean, so from the beginning, you were pushing yourself.
Yeah, I'm like, I wanted to go to college right out of high school, but I couldn't because you had to utilize your parents up until you were 24, married, or pregnant. But, you know, for me, that all happened in the same year when I was 24, so I started going to college. But the problem was, when you're in a toxic lifestyle, and you're not aware you're in a toxic lifestyle, it's not something that you can just keep going to college. So most people drop out, and I just couldn't, I just knew I wanted to graduate. And it took me a long time to get there, because I had to take a break.
I had to raise my children, I had to work, and it was a lot of downfalls in that, because once I graduated high school, I'm like, now what? What do I do? I go and get a 9.5 like everybody else, make it 5.15 an hour, and that's what I did. And it still wasn't enough, I couldn't live. And once I had three kids, I moved to Ohio.
actually. I moved to Ohio for a year.
I didn't know it.
Yeah, I moved to Ohio for a year with my kid's father, and we got pregnant with our fourth child. And he said he wanted to come back to Vegas, we come back to Vegas, and then that's when it was over. He's just like, you know what, goodbye. So me and the kids were left homeless and broke. And it was rough, because I'm like, I got a baby on the way, and I have three toddlers.
Nobody was over the age of six, so it was rough. Yeah.
I gotta tell you, I'm gonna interject one thing, because one of my greatest, greatest issues that I see around this country is the irresponsibility shown by a lot of my brothers in this country. You're gonna make a baby, and then you're just gonna leave it, you're gonna dump that baby on mom, and you're gonna walk away like they don't exist. I don't, I mean, shame on the men doing that. Shame on them.
Yeah, and it's like, you have to think about the child, and some people, they're like, well, they don't want to change for a child, they want to be who they are, and for me, that's not acceptable, because a child deserves so much more.
Yes, they do.
So I'm like, if you want, people do change, and sometimes, a lot of people say, why didn't you see the red flags? And I'm like, you can't see red flags if you don't know what the red flags are. If you've never heard of these type of red flags, you don't know to look out for them.
Well, and let's go back, let's go back, because I want to ask you, and I want to hear more, but I don't want to miss this. You said that you kind of grew up and were living in a toxic environment, and this is really important, right? Because a lot of my listeners, a lot of my people, you know, good conservative people, wonderful people, but they don't understand, one of the things that I think is really not understood in this country is the difference between growing up poor in a city versus growing up middle class in a suburb, or growing up rural, or growing up, and there's a lot of things, and one of the things that, in my experience that I've seen is there's a lot of young people, kids, because this is back when you were closer to a kid than at all, right? You grow up, and because, like you said, there's no guidance, there's no support, there's no one to tell you, the school's not teaching you right and wrong, mom and dad, maybe they don't even know right and wrong, they don't, you know, they may not even have the capacity to teach, or maybe, you know, they have 13 kids and are so busy dealing with all the babies and dealing with work and dealing with supporting them, that they can only do so much, and so you learn so much from the streets, which is not exactly the right place to learn it.
Explain that toxic environment a little bit, because I want people to understand how remarkable it is that you not only, you drove yourself to graduate high school, you drove yourself to college, you drove yourself, and I don't want people judging, you know, you mentioned that people talk about, well, you should have saw the red flags, you're right. How would you know the red flags? You were too busy trying to get onto your own two feet, and, you know, we need to celebrate that rather than worry about whether you saw red flags. I mean, hell, you're trying to make a life for yourself, you're trying to push yourself. Talk about that a little bit.
What does that mean to you when you say you grew up in a toxic environment?
So we moved a lot, like, when they came to growing up, it was just like we were living because we're living, and there was not really a foundation, a safety net where kids grow up, like, for example, my kids grow up, they know that, okay, you go to bed at this time, you eat lunch at this time, you read books at this time. Me and my kids go to the library a lot, so they know on these days we get to go to the library, on these days we're going to go skating, whatever it is, they know that there's structure in the household to where you're going to get disciplined if you do something right or wrong, but when there's nobody there to actually discipline you, and they're just wanting you out the way, that's pretty much how my childhood was. I moved out, like, my dad, wasn't too much in the picture, he was around, but we didn't live in the same household, so, and that's where the majority of my siblings came from, my dad. Like, my mom, has four daughters, my dad has 13,, multiple different children, but for the most part, we all lived together, except for, like, two of us, and just growing up, it was very scary, because you didn't know if you were going to be able to eat, you didn't know if you were going to have a home, and everybody's outside playing, and you're just like, I don't even have a bike to ride or a skate to ride on, and sometimes we were blessed enough to get that, like, when some organizations would donate toys to kids and stuff, we were part of that, we were on the welfare system, and it's like, you really don't know if you're going to have shoes that actually have shoestrings in it. I'm like, we didn't have the Velcros back then as much as they do now, so it was days.
I went to school with holes in my shoes, and it was rough, and I actually moved out when I was 10 years old, and people were like, how did you move out at 10 years old? I moved in with an older sibling, my sister, and it wasn't, she had multiple kids, so I was like a live-in babysitter for her, and while trying to go to school, nobody actually helped me with homework, nobody, they just made sure that I went to school, and it was more or less, and this is just a personal feeling, it just felt like, get out the house, so you don't eat up the food, eat at school, but the school, even though they had free food for us, we did not know, nobody told us, so. we would be at school, and not knowing that we could eat, we would literally not eat all day long, through my entire high school years.
I want to, I really want to focus and stress this to people, because a lot of people don't understand what you're saying, and there's too many people, and I'm talking to my brother and sister patriots here, I'm talking to my brother and sister conservatives, my brother and sisters who believe in freedom, who believe in, there are a lot of people in this country, Yadasha is not the only one to grow up like this.
Especially right now.
No, especially right now, I mean, under the Biden economy, it's pretty widespread, but the thing about this is, you've got a little girl who, at 10 years old, moves in with her sister as a babysitter, and is worried about whether she's going to eat, worried about whether she's going to have a place to stay, there's no education, by the way, the education system in Nevada is dead. last in the country, behind even Puerto Rico, it's literally the worst schools in the country, it's absolutely an embarrassment.
And some of the highest funding, by the way, we have some of the highest funding, but we're the worst. Yeah, well,
And that's the scariest thing, because the school district out here, we have all these casinos out here, and they can't give a 1%, a quarter of their funds to put into the school district, a lot of people don't know, the superintendent in Clark County makes more money than the President of the United States of America. It's ridiculous.
Yeah, and look at the job he's doing. It's a foundational issue, because they're too busy with teaching their DEI nonsense and not busy enough, actually teaching kids reading, writing, arithmetic. And how about just some basic standards on how to be decent? You know, we can push, the schools are fine, pushing trans, pushing all this sort of stuff. But they can't teach you, hey, this is how you be nice to someone, this is how you do right by someone, this is how you do it.
Like they used to.
They did. And so you've got no parents teaching right and wrong. You have no school teaching right and wrong. You have kids that are growing up, you know, in a way that is essentially without any moral compass. They don't know right and wrong.
They're just worried about survival. And I want, especially my successful suburban or rural brothers and sisters out there to hear the reason that we hear communities, poor communities, and I'm not going to say black or brown or any color, because that's nonsense. There's poverty everywhere. And we've got to quit. looking at people based on the color of their skin, start recognizing that we all bleed red.
And a kid that's that's starving to death, trying to survive. doesn't matter what color they are. It doesn't matter what they look like. What matters is that we have kids out there on a massive scale in this country, growing up without any moral compass, without any guidance. And Yadasha, to her credit, found the strength to, without that external influence, get to where she needed to be.
I mean, growing up in these places, I mean, I'm guessing and we didn't actually get a chance to talk about this, but it sounds like you grew up in some some nasty neighborhoods, probably. You probably saw some things as a kid that you shouldn't have saw. Am I wrong on that?
Yeah. I remember in the ninth grade when I was getting off the bus. one day, I was talking to a couple of classmates and this white car pulls up and shoots one of the guys in the head and just drives off. And I'm like, what can you do? I just had to walk away so they don't shoot me.
And it's really hard for people to understand that this is the life that some people live in. It's not easy for people. Before I graduated high school, I went to about 32 schools just in Clark County. It was sometimes, yeah, it was sometimes I went to different, at least two to three schools in one year. And it's really hard just jumping right into another school, especially when the county doesn't have a curriculum and you have to go to another school and they're learning about something completely different.
So, saying that I graduated, it was so hard to get there. And I just wanted to know if anybody cared. So in my 10th grade year, I intentionally failed my 10th grade year just to see if anybody cared enough to have me do better. Nobody cared. So at that time, that summer, I told myself, if nobody's going to care about me, I'm going to care about me.
So when I went back to school my 11th grade year, I was actually in like semi-10th grade, I went to my counselor and told her I wanted to graduate. And she was like, if I do everything, she told me, that I would graduate. And I was able to walk across that stage that year, my senior year. And so I was very grateful to, I'm like, it was huge for me. And it just seemed like nobody cared.
And still,
when I wanted to go to college, it was just like, I want to know more, I want to learn more, because I didn't want to work at McDonald's. I've never worked in fast food, but I didn't want to get to that point.
So I went, I started going to college when I was 24.. I went for business management, I graduated degree in business management. And so that's, that helped me build my business on top of, at the time when I was homeless with my three kids and pregnant, it was through the Trump administration. And I was able to start my business through the Trump laws. And I was so grateful.
And that's what, before he became president, I was looking at the Obama administration because I was a Democrat. And I went to his rallies and everything, because I was rooting for this president. And being at that rally made me realize that something wasn't right. And I started doing research. I never looked into politics before.
I was just, and it wasn't my family that was like, you're a Democrat. It's just in the Black community, you just assume that you're a Democrat because you're Black. And they don't tell you to do research. They don't tell you to educate yourself. You just hear the noise.
And the noise is way louder than anything else. You hear the noise, Democrat, Black, Black, Democrat. And it took me a while, but I started educating myself. And I realized that what his policies were not for me. It wasn't for my family.
So I immediately switched to an independent. And then as an independent, I'm like, I want to make some type of effort and do more research. I want my kids to see that they don't have to be a Democrat. But I realized as an independent that my voice wasn't really being heard. So I switched to Republican.
And it was like I was getting more answers. I was getting more feedback. And I felt a bit more safer with my kids.
So that's what made me switch to the Republican Party. And then it goes so much deeper, but we don't have that type of time. But it's just crazy how my parents, they never talked about politics. They never said, you're a Democrat, we're Democrats. They never said anything about politics.
But as a young Black adult, you hear it all the time. And they're like, Democrat, Democrat, you hear it. And so you just assume. But then when I did my research, kind of find out we're not. And you don't have to be.
So that's what made me sign up for Blexi. And then they reached out and said, hey, we need a position filled out there for the state director. And they saw my website and everything when I was running my campaign. And it was just like, even though, when it comes to politics, they don't side with any specific politician because it is a nonprofit organization. They do have views as far as who we represent.
And we represent people that want to be educated voters. And that's the most important thing when it comes to Blexi. And when it comes to me alike, I just want people to educatedly vote. And the biggest issue right now is in the minority community. And when I say minorities, a lot of people think, oh, the Black community.
They immediately go to the Black community. And it's so much more than that. Indians, Hawaiians, Hispanics, women are considered a minority. And when I say all of this, I say it so lightly, because the top words that I cannot stand is minority, because it's segregating people. And the news outlets constantly segregate us on a regular basis.
And I'm just so sick of it. I'm tired of being looked at as a minority, as a separation from people that I am very like-minded like.
Absolutely. Well, we all bleed red. And I'm going to hold on. I'm going to plug myself here real quick.

Yadasha, one of the things that, you know, that you and I have already talked about. off air, on air, you know, to me, we all bleed red. I don't care what you look like. What the left has spent so many years dividing us and what you were saying about, you know, being called a minority, being called this, being called that. I mean, it's all insulting to me.
I mean, you know, listen, I'm a big, ugly white dude. So no one's, no one's saying to me, hey, you're a white guy. No one's saying to me, you know, you're this, you're that. Nobody's talking to me as though, as though I'm incompetent or incapable, because apparently being a white guy means that you're not incompetent or incapable. But when you talk to someone who looks different than a white male, you start from the assumption that they're less competent or less capable.
It's such an insult. I mean, I got to be honest.
I get that a lot.
I admire what you do way more than anything. You had to overcome things that I didn't. I didn't grow up in this bad of a situation, but it isn't because of the color of your skin. And it's, and you certainly demonstrated that it doesn't matter. You still were so powerful.
And so, I mean, you had just the strength and this courage to overcome obstacles that most people can't even imagine. I just, I. just this morning, I saw a tweet from this. I don't even know who Harry Sisson is. But Harry Sisson, every time I see his tweets, all I can think of is beta wussy, male sissy.
every time I see it. And the thing about it is, is I see these just spineless wussy betas, whether they're out there and they need their safe space. They need their this. They need their that. You're talking about growing up in a ninth grade, watching someone get shot and then making the decision to to graduate high school, graduate college.
You have more strength on a bad day than wussies like like David Hogg or Barry, whatever Sisson, whatever his name is, would have on their best day. We should be celebrating your strength, in my opinion. And I would like your reaction to this, rather than looking at you as though you're someone who needs a leg up. I mean, absolutely.
Like I, get a lot of people that say that I should be proud of my successes and everything, and I am to an extent, but it's also heartbreaking.
And it's because, when it comes to my family, I'm the only one. When it comes to my community, it's not very known. As people automatically assume when you're a minority, when you're black, when you're a woman, that you're. there's something wrong with you. And I don't want my past to define who I am today.
And I get a lot of negative feedback where people hear that I'm a Republican because they, like I've been told you should be a Republican. You left the plantation. It's what they call it. I, I've heard.
Well, I would hope so.
You want to stay there and I'm like, I'm proud to leave the quote unquote plantation. But the fact that you feel that you're in a situation like that, that you have to separate yourself to be equal to somebody. I don't want to separate myself to be equal. If you feel that you have to work harder, you should work hard. Everybody has to work hard.
So at the end of the day, when you try to say that, oh, you're different. I am different because God made everyone different.
I ask you a question. So you, I've never actually heard that, that that you. so you're leaving the plantation. So that's the first time I've ever heard that. So let me ask you this, because, you know, I mean, as a big white guy, nobody's saying that to me ever.
I mean, but so the Democrats opposed the Civil War. They were for slavery. They opposed the civil rights movement. They were for segregation. And to this day, the black community still largely identifies as Democrat.
So when you say to me, and I want you to tell me where I'm wrong, where I'm misunderstanding, where I'm an evil white guy for this. When you say to me that someone says, OK, I graduated high school. I went to college. I educated myself. And after educating myself, I realized that the Democrat policies are causing a lot of the problems that I had.
And so I left. And they say to you, well, you left the plantation. Shouldn't that be the highest compliment out there? Because you essentially left the people who have historically supported slavery, segregation, reducing your value based on the color of your skin, to push yourself beyond that, to become educated. And when you did, you realized that the same people who were keeping you on the air quotes plantation were people that, I mean, they were disrespecting you.
The whole thing was really about keeping people down and dependent. And now, shouldn't we be celebrating the fact, I mean, the connotation of leaving the plantation? Absolutely.
And that's the biggest issue. Welcome to freedom. That's the biggest issue for me, is that people, they don't realize how degrading it is that somebody could sit there and tell you that you're not good enough. You don't have the know-how to do something. So we're just going to give you a couple of dollars.
just to make it me. It's just like dangling a carrot at a rabbit with a broken leg. You almost got it. You got a piece of it, but you can't get the whole thing. So when people talk about that Black people should be in the Democrat party, how do you know?
When you want to live that life of the Democrat party, then you live that life. But you cannot say a whole group of people should belong to some area. And I get a lot of backlash from that when it comes to minorities. And they want to understand, because I get all the time. I've never seen a Black female Republican outside of Candace Owens.
I'm like, we're out there. It's just nobody's walking around saying, hey, I'm a conservative. We don't have it on our shirts yelling, conservative, conservative.
I can make you a shirt. I mean, I get that, Donna.
Yeah. And so my thing is that I want people to understand the reason why I am a conservative. Because, number one, I allow God to lead my life. God is first in my family. regardless of what's going on.
Good, bad, ugly. I don't care what political party you, with. God, will always be first.
Amen.
So, with that being said, I feel that's a conservative value. And when you care about your family, I have four children. I have three daughters and one son. When my kids turn 20,, 30, 40 years old, I want to have three daughters and one son. I don't want them to say, well, I want to be a boy.
I want to be a girl. That's not how God made you. God made you uniquely the way that you are. for a reason. And for somebody to try to push an agenda that my son may be something else, that my daughters may be something else, it's a slap in the face.
It's a slap in the face for God. And I can't have that. That's a conservative value.
It is. And you know, I just put in a chat for producer Andrea here. I want to change because when we put this show up, I want to change the title.
Because this whole thing, this whole concept, like I said, I've never heard, leaving the plantation. What an insult.
So, listen, as a white guy who grew up in a rural area, I can't relate to what it means to grow up in a situation like yours. Listen, I can empathize and I can try and understand. But I'm still a white guy who grew up in a rural area, right? Now, I had my own challenges, for sure. And we can tell battle stories, you know.
But they're different, right? They're different.
But I've never heard that that's something. I mean, when I hear that, like the psychology of that is so incredible to me. It's almost like there's a view. Anybody that would say that, it's almost like they believe that you deserve to be on a plantation. I mean, I want to.
The first time I heard this term was actually this year. Because at the beginning of the year, I start running for assembly district in Henderson. And so I'm talking to a lot of people. I'm going to register for my candidacy and everything. I came very late in the game.
So, needless to say, I did not win. But I learned a lot from it. And that was one of the things that I learned from it. When it comes to the Democrat Party, it was a lot of people that were saying such negative things about me and was looking at me in complete disgust. And the Republican Party, they were very uplifting and helping.
And I met a lot of independents. A lot of independents that were, it wasn't just about red or blue, black or white. They just want change. And they may not agree with everything left. They may not agree with everything right.
But I saw more minorities in the independent party because they are sick and tired of being sick and tired. Yeah. And when the Republican Party, they call me the unicorn. Because there's a lot of minorities, they will not touch the Republican Party because we hear the same thing. All white men, racist.
Well, let me tell you, here's the thing, right? So I would say this to anybody. I don't care what you look like. And you talk to me privately in the event, in person. And, you know, I mean, I would hope that you could see I'm pretty transparent.
I don't really pull any punches. I would say to anybody, especially someone who's talking about how they should, telling someone they shouldn't leave the plantation or acting as though you should. Here's the deal. As a big, ugly white guy who really, I mean, I'm an activist. That's what I do is I fight for freedom.
I want everybody to leave the plantation. I don't care about Democrat or Republican. I don't care about black or white. What I want is freedom. I want freedom.
And if you're on the plantation, if you view that, and it may not be my right or position. Well, it's absolutely my right. I can say anything. I damn well please. It may not be my position to talk to people who grew up in situations different than mine.
And you may say, well, he's a white guy. He doesn't have the right to say this. But I'm going to say it anyways. My belief is very firm that we should be helping anyone who wants to help to get off the plantation to be able to live a free life, where they're not dependent on bread crumbs from the wealthy government elite, but where they're able to earn the whole loaf of bread should they choose, to, where they're able to live good, to take care of their kids, to do right, and to have the American dream, your own home, where you don't have to move to 32 different schools over the course of your childhood, where your kids can grow up and be something more than you. I mean, why the hell, what kind of a garbage platform, what kind of a garbage human being would look at someone and ever do anything where you could have someone say, you left them.
I've just never heard anything more demeaning, degrading, than, I mean, because it says such connotations to slavery, to dependency, to servitude. What an awful, awful position. I mean, this is poor. I grew up in poor areas in the San Joaquin Valley near Fresno, and this is like poor ecosystems. They make you feel like you're never going to be able to get out of, because you're being raised so far behind, you're so poor, you're going to need those handouts, and you see it.
All my friends, whole family, on welfare, a lot of us live in a lot like you did, where you're living with older siblings and you're hopping from house to house and you're just trying to because they at least get out of the home. Well, right up until the schools start teaching you garbage or refuse to give you an education. That's all the kids have.
And that's why I educate my kids to don't look at people like your shoes are messed up. My kids, I want them to see that everybody has a story to tell.
Yes, they do.
They may not know how to explain it at that moment, but they're going to have a story to tell. So don't look at somebody less than, if anything, ask them if they need help. And another key point that I want to hit on, that a lot of people just really don't understand, is that when it comes to Black people, there's a lot of, quote, unquote, segregation. They got Black. this, Black that, like Black organizations, such as like the urban community areas.
And some of them are great. And some of them, to me, are not, because I don't want to be segregated by any means. I don't like that. But a lot of people look at Blacks and they're like, well, you're segregating yourself there. And I want to explain the huge difference between the two.
So when you're putting yourself to where there's nobody in a community where it's just Black people, that segregation. Whereas when it comes to Blacks, it is not segregation. They're educating people in the minority communities on how to uplift themselves and empower themselves. So when you're looking at it as an opportunity to build stronger with other demographics, you move further in life. with that.
It's not just saying it's only for Black people. It's for mainly Black people, because that's where the biggest issue is. But it's definitely not just for Black people. Yes, just in Nevada alone and with my leaders, there's more than just Black people. So I don't want people to get it misconstrued when it comes to certain organizations.
It's not just for Black people. And those are the organizations I'm willing to work with versus Black, only because that segregation and I cannot allow my kids to think that they deserve to be separated from anybody.
They shouldn't be. And I'm going to plug us real quick. Please go to www.timerends.com, www.timerends.com. Support us. Check out our affiliates.
Check out our shop. And also, please, go to give, send, go, slash Rends Law. Give, send, go, slash Rends Law. Your support keeps us fighting and allows us to fight against this sort of nonsense, against the sort of evils that we're talking about today. Please, give, send, go, slash Rends Law and help us to continue this fight.
Also, if you're in Nevada especially, you got a hero leading here. You got someone who deserves to be celebrated, not because of the color of her skin, but because of her accomplishments. This is a woman who overcame just a tough, tough life, made good decisions without any support, and ended up being a leader. We don't support Yadasha because she's Black. We support Yadasha because she's brilliant and because she took the time to make the tough decisions and to do what was right over what was easy.
God bless her for that. So please, if you're in Nevada, support Blacksit. They're tied in with Turning Point, which, again, another great organization who's doing a lot of good work in Nevada. So please, support these folks. These are wonderful people with a good story, doing good things.
So, Yadasha, one of the things that you talked about there is. you're talking about the concept of elevating people versus segregating people. And that's really kind of the foundation here. And that's really your goal in Blacksit. And, by the way, you can count me as a Nevada Blacksit supporter, for what that's worth.
As long as you're leading it. the way you're leading it, you've got my support, my backing, and my belief. But I want to talk about an elephant in the room. There is an elephant in the room. We're in a situation, and I mentioned this to you in person, and I noticed this when I was a kid.
It came from a story. I did a lot of charity work. as a kid. I would just show up in places and do whatever. And as a kid, I show up one day in Detroit, which is not that far from where I grew up.
And I go up there, and I'm going to do this work. I'm going to help just do whatever they needed in the community. I had no preconceptions. And I didn't grow up. I'm not a racist.
I don't care what you look like. So I didn't care if it was a Black community, a white community. It didn't matter. Turns out, this particular neighborhood was a Black neighborhood. And I showed up there, and I just wanted to help.
I didn't care if I was cleaning up trash. I didn't care what I was doing. And I got a very, very cold reception. And I didn't want anything. I didn't want money.
There was no pictures. So I asked some of the people with the group that I was working with. I was like, man, no one wants to talk to me. What's going on? And they told me.
I said, well, you're a 6'4 white dude showing up in this neighborhood. I'm freaking out. You got to understand something, Tom. If a 6'4 white dude shows up in this neighborhood, it's for a photo op. They use everybody.
They take the picture, and then they leave. And they leave whatever mess behind that there is to leave. And people don't trust. How do we deal with that? Because there's truth to the fact that.
And I see this with politicians. I mean, even I know it's joking, and it's a term of endearment. And I understand the concept of calling you a unicorn, because I get that. But the reality is that what you are is a leader. You're a warrior.
You're someone I can relate to. And I suppose, but we got to get to a point where how does a guy that looks like me?
get to a position? I know you got to have an intro. You got to have someone to shake hands. You got to have someone say, no, listen, this guy's legit. This guy's that.
But we got to start rebuilding that trust where people who, like I said, I get nothing out of doing what I do a lot of days. I mean, I just want to elevate people. I want to give people a chance. How do we bridge that gap?
It's going to take a long time. And the reason why I say that is because it's so many times where people come into the poor neighborhoods, the minority neighborhoods. And part of my friends, they look at it as a token nigger.
So, and nobody wants to be looked like that. And you could see it a mile away. And when it comes to people coming in to do that, they know these people need help. They know these people need whatever they have. And that's why they're doing it.
So when people like you come in, people are automatically going to assume that you're trying to do the same thing because you don't know. Exactly. And you don't know if somebody just came the day before you and tried to do the exact same thing with the camera crew. Like some people, they may be in a down situation at one point, but it may be just temporarily. So it's the audacity.
And if you really want to reach people and help people, start with people that's already up there, that's willing to walk in that door with you.
Well, and breaking that mentality, because Pastor Bernadette Smith works up in that area. And she told us a story, Tom, you remember doing an event in a poor area of Detroit. And she met an older, well-to-do Black woman at the end that came up to her, at least, looked nice, dressed nice and all that. But she didn't like Pastor Bernadette and what she was saying there. because she was, there's like, what I was trying to say is there's an ecosystem to these poor neighborhoods.
It's disrupting the power structure of the neighborhood. You're disrupting the power structure of the neighborhood. There are bad people that do not want these poor neighborhoods to understand the power they have to rise up out of it. They don't want them to understand how our country was built and that they actually are free. They want to keep them enslaved.
And this doesn't have to do with color. This is just, if you're in a poor neighborhood, there's going to be gangs, there's going to be drugs, there's going to be, and then the government wants you to need those handouts. And there's people controlling that ecosystem. They don't want these poor neighborhoods to get the knowledge of how to rise above. And they don't want them to know the truth of what the Marxist agenda is keeping them enslaved with.
Well, absolutely. And they truly don't try to educate you. And it's like, like you said, being in that mindset, we have to get out of that mindset. But in order to get out of that mindset, you need to be educated that you are so much more valuable than where you are.
The power.
Yeah, exactly. And that's why I'm trying to work with people that is willing to donate their time and their education so we can help those communities, people that know financial literacy, people that know how to build a business, just doing events, bringing these people in, letting them know you can make it. You just need to know the know-how. Because some people, they don't have the time, they don't have the resources, and they do not have the education to go.
When you're trying to just survive. You're trying to just survive. You don't have the time. Well, Yadasha, I mean, this wasn't, I didn't know you were going to mention that, but I will tell you. So.
I was in banking for years. And I actually had a hand in developing, creating some financial literacy programs, programs designed to take people from the bottom to the middle, things like that. So, if off air, if sometime, if you want to have a conversation, I would be honored and happy to help you get some stuff set up. It's your stuff. You can have it.
It's your stuff. You can run it through, you know, all the things that you're doing, run through blocks. that I don't care. But if you need any assistance in getting some of that stuff set up, I'd be happy to volunteer some time. You don't need my name on it.
You don't need anything to do with it. You just you, just to help you guys get some stuff, to help people get from that bottom.
to middle. I want to make sure that people know that they have the opportunity, but they don't know that it's there. So they don't even know to go. look for it. They need people sometimes to say, hey, you have these options and help them get there.
So I really appreciate that, because that is one step in the right direction for people that do not know.
Yeah. Well, and the thing that's shocking to people. So one of the things when I used to design and structure, or I did some work, it was, it was. I did. when you're in banking, once you get your bank or your credit union set up and it's running well, the only thing you do is wait for it to collect money and golf.
I hate golf. So, you know, I mean, basically, I just got into, I got into research and I did. Yeah, I created programs and developed things, and I enjoyed that. And so we did that. And one of the things that you see when you're, when you're looking at financial literacy, is we're talking about financial literacy, not not becoming a finance guru.
Right. So financial literacy just means the basics. And you've got to understand that. there's a lot of people who, you know, the kids who grew up that don't even know right from wrong, don't know that they can get a free lunch. Don't know that there is.
These are kids who also don't know the basics of a bank account. What's that? Saving money. What does that mean? I don't have any to save.
Yeah. What do I do? Hey, I get a, I get a check from the government every month.
OK, so I'm going to use that as quick as possible. Hopefully it gets me to the next month. And if not, I'll sell some whatever to get to get through. until then. I mean, you got to understand that these the literacy programs are truly literacy programs, just helping people to understand what a credit card is, what banking is, how to do it, that you can do it, that it's an option, that there are mechanisms.
You know, if you save a little bit every month, that's going to add up. And eventually you can do this with it or that with it. Just helping them understand a budget, a basic budget. These are things that are so, so low level. But we have failed so miserably as a nation.
And why, in God's name, are all of these bleeding heart liberals running these school systems in inner cities, not including in their curriculum, which apparently in Nevada, they don't have a curriculum. But why wouldn't they include in their curriculum some basics of financial literacy? I mean, teach these kids how to get on their feet.
And the crazy thing. they used to have that in some schools, but they took it out, just like they took out cursive writing. They don't teach cursive writing anymore. And one of the another thing that they took out of schools is sex education. They don't teach sex education.
They just teach you about your person, really. It's the very bare minimum that they teach you. And sometimes it's below minimum. One huge, huge thing that nobody talks about, especially in Nevada, and you can see it in the judicial system, is that men do not matter here at all. And that's one of my biggest pet peeves.
And a lot of people look like you're talking about men don't matter, but your kid's father left. It doesn't matter. Well, my story doesn't dictate what the future comes for anybody. And God says that men are supposed to be the leaders of this foundation. And that's why there are so many young teen, pregnant kids.
There are so many kids in and out of juvie, in and out of jail, in and out of prison. And people think it's OK to be a single mom. It's not.
No, it's a disaster. Here's the problem. So I, as a dad, add something to my kid's life that their mother cannot add, right? It's not a matter of her wanting to. It's not that she doesn't do a wonderful job.
Just we're different people, right? You know, it's interesting to me that the left always talks about diversity. But then they refuse to acknowledge that, as a man, I am diverse from a woman and I have a different perspective. Of course, obviously. So if that's the case, listen, I can't do what a woman does.
You know, I see my wife. I see what Andrea does with her kids. I'm certain that if I saw what you did with your kids, I see how these moms do things, right? They're not dads. They can't be dads.
But I also can't be a mom. That's why there's value to both being involved in the kid's life. And, you know, the arrogance, the pride, the just the absurdity of someone telling me I got to embrace diversity, but dads don't matter is absolutely ridiculous. And, you know, until we start teaching that, it's just a foundational thing. We're running short on time, Yadasha.
And I would love to have you back. I know that you're going to be launching a podcast. when you do. I want to help you, promote it. And I will tell you if I can.
I mean, my only limitation is time, but anything I can do to help you with your mission in Nevada, I'm absolutely honored to do so. You know, Yadasha is social. She's at I am Yadasha. And it's Y-A-D-U-S-H-A on all of her social handles. So follow her.
Yes, please support her. Follow her. Support Blackstead and Turning Point. You know, if you're in Nevada, get involved, especially if you're in the Vegas Henderson area. You know, look, Yadasha up.
