These are the foundation for the Stafford Boxing Club, these 20 mentees in our program here at Panola Way elementary school 20 years from now staff for boxing mentees will be known across the world Stafford in the house.
Hey, you know who I am big Stanford.
There is no cappuccino today we have a very special guest, I’m talking about for real A real one he’s actually The Bodyguard of Georgia.
Now that’s a big time title, The Bodyguard of Georgia.
So we want everybody to welcome our special guest yahan, say: George night storms.
All the stuff y’all doing for these children, man in these communities – man, that’s uh, that’s what’s up so I’m honored, the nightstorm is honored to be on the king and queen Stafford’s podcast.
Let’S do this thing! Man, let’s go hey! You know what Sheila! First of all, we need to tell our viewers that he is nothing to play with oh yeah for sure he gon na say some facts.
He brought his receipts with him.
You feel me he just not saying stuff just off the cuff he’s saying stuff, because it’s facts yeah he got statistics, he got data, he got the spirit.
Yeah man of character, plus y’all, went to high school together, yeah straight out of Lithonia yeah.
So it’s crazy.
How all these years pass and God bringing full-back Circle when you’re in the right position for the right time, so we gon na allow him yeah to say what he need to say and we’re gon na turn the show over to him yeah.
You know what I’m saying we normally don’t do that yeah, but we gon na do that today, for you man so go ahead on sir, it’s all yours man, you know get it popping bro.
So what we talking about today, man all right.
Well, today, we’re going to be talking about.
I mean especially we’re going to be piggybacking off of the things you guys have been doing in the community and how we can actually fix these issues, because we hear all the time about why things are wrong.
Why things are broken in our community, especially the black community, the disconnect with parents and their children and teachers to disconnect between children and children and how we can actually find Solutions through truth and partnership now get ready.
Ladies and gentlemen, woman because I understand truth, hurts it cuts like a double-edged sword.
Everybody don’t like the truth, but according to Galatians, I’m gon na make sure.
I say this because we’re gon na keep the word in this Galatians.
4.
16.
.
It says so: I have become your enemy by telling the truth.
I hope that you don’t also see me as an enemy by stating the truth, but we start talking about Partnerships and how we can combine and unite together through the truth, through partnership and actually solve these problems, because the truth today is going to set a whole Lot of people free, oh mercy, I’m ready, oh mercy! Well, look man! You know we want to thank you so much for bringing to the Forefront about the Stafford mentoring program and what we’re doing in the community.
As you know, we are uh operating out of a classroom at Panola Way elementary school in Lithonia.
We have about 25 fifth graders in our class, I mean in our program and we also partnered with uh feeding Georgia family, which is a Food Outlet to distribute food to our mentees in our program oftentimes when these kids come to school.
This is the only meal that they will receive at their home, and so we did not know how much of an important need it was for for us to fill in the gap for these kids to have extra.
So every time we come, we have snacks and once a month we pile up a lot of non-perishable items and we go to the families.
We don’t.
We don’t ask them to come meet us somewhere.
We we actually deliver because Sheila and I we really take the heart about being a servant leader, and I think that that is something that is missing in our community.
We are focused on.
I I mean me materialistic things trying to get the bad, but in a sense we are losing the morale of our ancestors, who have paved the way for so that we can’t walk through the front door and create Partnerships with other people.
That may not look like us, so we want to you, know kind of just set that platform and allow you to just kind of elaborate and take it from there.
Okay and most definitely uh.
I I support that 100, because that is actually what partnership is all about, actually getting out and doing the work, because it’s so easy for us to speak platitudes.
It’S so easy for us to look at politicians and look at other people to try to fix these issues, but it takes real hardcore love for others to actually get out and do the work and the work is definitely necessary right now, because right now we have An epidemic we have a crisis within our community.
We always talking about our lives, should matter Our Lives ship matter, but one thing that my grandmother taught me a very very long time ago.
No one is going to care about you.
If you do not care about yourself and never ask anyone to do anything that you yourself are not willing to do so.
If you don’t mind, you know king and queen Staffing, I would love to start talking about.
Some issues is going on within our community.
Yes across America abroad, but within the black community on how we can actually take command and start fixing these things.
So are we ready to rock and roll system brother? We ready, we ready so all right.
So we we’re going to talk about this and I’m gon na start bringing some stuff up, and I would love your feedback because you guys have actually been doing the work, also, but very very quickly.
I just want to give a brief background on why these issues are important to me.
Yes, my name is yahan, say George night storm, YG nightstorm.
For short, I’ve been a bodyguard for over 30 years and I helped protect people.
I have helped uh go overseas and extract people who are in some very dangerous situations but, more importantly, I’ve helped families.
I’Ve helped single moms, get away from drug dealers who are trying to kill them and their children, because their kids just so happen to see a crime happening, so we would have to relocate them.
I have also removed people who are being uh trapped in domestic violence situations.
I have de-escalated a lot of situations in schools where there is violence but, more importantly, I’ve lived.
This experience.
I’Ve come from a broken home.
I was homeless when I was 18 years old.
Literally sleeping on the street, hiding in dumpsters to keep from being murdered by gangs, I was sexually assaulted as a child.
In 1985, when I was 11 years old and also I’ve had I’m the proud father of seven incredible children who are alive, but three of my children are in heaven, one was killed.
My oldest was killed on uh on in 2008 at his job, and my babies were killed in an abortion in in in 1999.
So I have three babies in heaven, so I understand the pain of loss that parents feel.
I also understand that the pressures of growing up in a broken home when you have an abusive parent and maybe Mom and Dad don’t get along because they’re beating on each other and because you look like your father, it gets taken out on you.
Your father abandoned you because he can’t get along with mom.
Mom is frustrated because Dad isn’t being the man he needs to be and all hell breaks loose, especially when you’re, a parent of multiple children and things are happening.
So I’m coming from a very real place and I’m gon na talk to you about how we can get these issues solved.
So the number one issue right now now that I’ve told you about that which qualifies what I’m about to say 8 is we need to stop bsing around with each other moms and dads need to stop and cut the crap.
Stop listening to all these bitter people.
On social media who are promoting The Divide between men and women, especially in the black community, now, why is this important? Have you looked at the single parent rate in our community? Now we’re only 13 of the population only 13.
But if you want to look at statistics and I’m coming from blackdemographics.
com, I invite anybody to look up blackdemographics.
com, just to show you where these receipts are coming from studies from the CDC and from other government websites, so number one 13 of the population.
Let’S look at the black community in poverty, 49 of black single mom women are in poverty; they make up to 49 ranking now, if you want to look at the numbers – and this is where the realness come from – a total of everybody else, 35 of all other Ethnicities are in poverty in the United States, but when it comes to the black single mother over 40 percent, now what problems come from black single moms being in poverty, who are the main ones raising our children nowadays? Well, we have over 70 single single mother rate of kids being born out of wedlock, and 40 of all.
People in poverty are single moms.
Here’S where some problems start to come down and start to affect us now, it’s good that the staffers have their own program, but it’s not a million staffers out there.
It’S only two of them putting in work in the community, and this is why we need this.
Now we’re going to look at this the reason how we can get out of this situation and all folks will tell you you got ta partner up marriage is one of the single biggest factors to get black people out of poverty.
I want to say this again: marriage is one of the single biggest factors to get black people out of poverty.
Now, let’s look at it now.
Remember 40 is the single mom rate.
If you look at it compared to marriage sister, if you got your husband and the father’s in the house, you go from 40 to 6.
7 poverty rate, um yeah, that’s a huge gap.
What do you think about that king and queen stuff? But what do you think about that from because I got some more stuff up from 40 if they partner up, they drop all the way down to 6.
7 percent.
What do you feel about that? Well me personally from experience.
I think that is the right way to go.
I just believe that the women are brainwashed and they’re following and listening to, like you said, the wrong people, whether in the entertainment, business, their friends and sometimes families like a generational curse that nobody wants to take the time to stop it or to break it.
But being married and getting married for the right reason, not because the man has the money and he’s going to take care of me and I’m gon na be a house mother.
It takes two and one other thing.
I’M gon na make this short a lot of times.
Women don’t want to build something from the bottom up, it always has to be.
It already has to be done, and then I bring peace.
No, that’s not how that’s not how it should go.
The two shall become one and when you take your vowels and your Covenant with God and with each other, that really means something.
That’S just not temporary.
That’S not just well when you make me mad and we’re going to go ahead and separate, and then I’m just going to go ahead and cheat.
That’S not how it works.
So it’s really it’s it’s.
Both parties believe me, but I can just speak about it.
On the women’s side, because I hear the things that they say and if we be can become more mentally strong but more so spiritually strong, then I think there might be some some hope well to piggyback on what you were saying.
I totally agree with the marriage concept.
I think that in this today it has become somewhat a dinosaur, and it’s because our community lacks discipline.
We want to just be wild, barbaric, doing any and everything and thinking that things are supposed to be given to us and as you elated to we have kind of, I I would say just kind of shot away from coming together in Partnership.
We feel that we can accomplish more on our own, so you have a lot of single parents, believing that you know what I can accomplish more on my own than being married and that’s a false sensehood that the community has adopted.
So that’s why I believe some of the numbers are as high as they are because of the music that people are listening to because of the content.
That’S on social media um.
I was reading about a twitch uh account being suspended because when he was promoting uh negative stuff, he got higher ratings.
But then, when he changed for positive things, then his account got suspended and so with the Stafford Boxing Club.
Excuse me the Stafford boxer report.
You know we don’t expect to get a large numbers.
You know, like I say we are, you know, published all around the world, but it only takes a certain few of a certain different type to receive and understand that hey what the staffers are doing is something really special and let me come into partnership with them, Because they can be effective positively in the community and it’s something that you had talked about earlier, that me and Sheila is doing the work and we don’t post this stuff on social media.
I was told long ago that when you do something, do it in secrecy and word of mouth is the best promotion in marketing for what you’re doing, and so we appreciate you highlighting those statistics, and we want you to continue on with your program.
Okay – and I – and I appreciate that and and hypergamy is real and and sister what you’re talking about how our women have been programmed the last 40 years uh, they don’t want to build the Empire with the man.
They want to wait at the finish line and see whom they could just jump on with next and then, when those resources his resources run out, then they jump up to the next level and the next level and the next level – and this is where hypergamy comes In and that’s where this delusion comes in, because when you’re constantly doing that, you not only take respect away from yourself but you’re, also not showing any reciprocation to the man.
That’S trying to build it with you and when you come from a culture of.
Let’S just be real with it: The Sisterhood, not all not all of them make sure I say not all, but when in The Sisterhood it is promoted where you destroy, you have chaos and if any man is trying to bring order and Hey baby, let’s build this Together, uh-uh girl take what you can from them and look for the next one: get the bag and go to the next one, and then on the opposite side with the brothers.
The brothers are taught because, Unfortunately, they are raised a lot by single moms and, like I said, we’re gon na be honest with this.
A lot of the women not all not all, not all, but a lot of the women who are raising suns, are so bitter with the fathers that they take.
That out on the sun and the sun grows up with resentment towards women, especially black women, and looks at all of them as manipulators and abusers.
So now you have the hypergamy side from the women who just say: we’re gon na get the bag and you as a man don’t matter, and then you have on the other side with the brothers who would say: well you just a manipulator and an abuser anyway.
Why in the world, should I even get married to you when the only thing you’re gon na do is take my resources? Take my children.
Put me on child support.
Put the system against me.
I go to jail, I lose custody, I lose everything I work for and I die broke and meanwhile our children grow up without me and we continue the generational curse.
The music industry and Hollywood and TV have done this to our community because that’s what sells and King, as you stated, when someone comes with something positive on social media platforms, they will demonetize it.
The algorithm will be put against them.
They will Shadow ban it and make sure it’s hard to share and hard to find, but anything that is divisive that destroys that promotes the complete and total Destruction of the family and the soul is elevated.
And now I’m going to talk about what brings on these consequences of this elevated destruction.
We couldn’t start looking at real numbers now, were we talking about children coming from backgrounds like this, when the mom is destructive and the dad is destructive, and he just then dipped and he’s not there.
Let’S look at this from the U.
S department of justice.
As I said, the people who are watching this look up U.
S Department of Justice.
This is not about feelings and emotion.
This is about true hardcore facts on things that are happening to us, that is dismantling us and the moment we realize what the truth is now we’ll be able to deal with it.
Now, let’s look at what’s going on with our babies, 63 percent of our youth are committing suicide coming from single mother households or fatherless homes, so Mom stopped tripping and dead, where you’re at 90 of homeless and runaway use come from single mother homes and fatherless homes.
Mom stopped tripping that, where you’re at 85 of all children that existed disorders come from single mother homes and fatherless homes, mom stopped tripping 71 of all high school dropouts come from single mother homes and fatherless homes.
Mom stopped tripping dad where you at, where yeah of juveniles in state operating institutions in prison come from single mother homes and fatherless homes.
Mom stopped tripping dead where you at adolescent patience and substance abuse our kids are strung out on drugs, come from single mother homes and absentee father homes.
Mama, stop tripping daddy, where you at 75 of rapist, 75 percent of rapists come from single mother homes and fatherless homes, mama stop tripping with Daddy and daddy, where you at, where you at say YG.
You know what you’re not talking about opinions, you bringing receipts and that’s something that validates everything that you’re saying, and so I hope that Sheila and I can be a beacon of light in a dark Community.
That’S cultivating and sucking the life out, the black community.
I want to piggyback on something that you said and I’m very, very, very acknowledgeable about this, I’m very fortunate and blessed and honored and privileged to be able to build this with my wife.
That’S something that you don’t normally see and I think that’s what separates us from a lot of people.
Most of the time you have the the woman she’s trying to advance her career.
I got this.
I got that I got this.
I i i i as well as the men man.
I did this I’m this, I’m that, but not often do you see a husband and a wife doing this together and that’s the balance that these kids are being exposed to in our mentoring program is that they get to see a husband and wife not a reality Of marriage but a real marriage me and my wife we’ve been married for 14 years and I’m happily married.
You know what I’m saying and it’s holy.
I have no desire to to to be with another woman, one of the privilege, and one of the unique experiences about this is that we are too sharp angers and we sharpening each other as we continue to grow each and every day.
Marriage is is not a 10-year 15-25, 50.
75, it is a lifetime commitment and you cannot have a mindset of not wanting to learn and me and Sheila.
We was talking about this today and I was saying that we are not mature in the word of God.
We are becoming mature because, when you are becoming mature, you still open yourself up to grow because God goes from.
Excuse me one level to to another level, and so I think that the receipts that you are sharing with us on the Stafford boxing report is very important, so that people can go to the website themselves and put up the data and, like you say, I think It’S very important, and I hope that you know God uses she was not to start a movement.
It may not be a big movement because we’re not promoting alcohol, we’re not promoting drugs, we’re not promoting dysfunctionality, Etc.
We are promoting Kingdom, it’s a difference, so we gon na, be, you know, looked upon as different, but it’s okay to be different and we accept this role.
We are we embrace it and we thank God for people like you to acknowledge it and to come on to the show and support it to get other people to partner with us, so that we can do more.
Not only for these kids but other kids, who has a high interest of becoming involved with the Stafford Boxing Club mentoring program, Amen to that Amen.
To that – and I just and I wanted to say because when I talk about the partnership, just like you guys are saying you guys are a beautiful couple – um and I’m also reaching out to everyone who is not married.
Okay, maybe you and the Father, the children.
Just don’t get along, maybe you and the mother just don’t get along, but just like in a marriage when you become parents, your life no longer belongs to you.
It is about the benefit of your children.
So whenever egos, you have whatever hurt feelings you have.
You have got to get over it.
I know this is hard, because this is the truth.
Now, if the truth have I become your enemy for telling you the truth? No I’m saying this out of love because see I got two Ex-Wives okay, I went through got married, got divorced, won my choice.
I had my own share of issues with my own failures that I hold myself accountable to and so do both of my Ex-Wives.
They hold themselves accountable for their own percentage of the failures of the marriages, but one thing I went to both of them and said: look here.
This is bigger than us and we have an opportunity to give our children something that we did not have.
We have an opportunity to have children being raised with Mom and Dad cohesively working together for their benefit and getting over our drama and our foolishness and all the goofy stuff.
Because the kids are the only thing that matter and by the grace of God, we were able to do that, and it only happened because I had to be led by God to do it.
They had to be led by God to do it and we had to get rid of the animosity and force ourselves to do what’s right for our children.
So our children, because of seven of them our children, now benefit, and they appreciate that and when you come with the partnership with God and the successful cooperation, whether they get married or not.
I always want to push marriage, but even if you’re not successfully working with the other parent, it’s going to significantly not only improve the lives of your kids, but it is.
It will significantly improve the lives of yourself and Mama.
You got nothing to lose because when Daddy is around, it brings the stress level of you down.
You don’t have to hold everything and be everything like The Sisterhood is talking about free and daddy being around and having a a a a positive relationship with the mother of your children.
You don’t have all these headaches.
You ain’t got to worry about being thrown in jail and you’re, hey and your license being revoked, and you always your money being goust out work with, but most mothers just want somebody just to be there, even if it didn’t work out just beat up for your Kids and they will work with you.
This is what we need and we need it now and also the last caveat to find positive programs like staff of boxing positive, strong, good role, models for women and men, telling them the truth, bringing them out of the darkness and giving them opportunities to improve themselves.
With critical thinking and wonderful skills that can help them for the rest of their lives, I like that, especially with the accountability, because a lot of us don’t want to take accountability for our mistakes and we want to go around saying.
Well, I didn’t do anything wrong and I was perfect and always point the other finger at this point in time.
It’S just time for everybody to grow up and stop being like.
You said, stop being selfish because it’s about the children, how we act and interact with other people, especially interacting with the dad and the mom the children, are looking and children are listening, so they’re going to be picking up those bad habits.
So my personal opinion, since I’m a mother – and I can talk about this – women grow up it’s time that you see, especially when it comes to the teachers.
Oh, let me tell you these parents are so disrespectful to the teachers.
The kids at the school are so disrespectful to the bus drive.
I was talking to a bus driver the other day and she had to take on another bus, so she had her regular children and another class, and she said all they do is fight on that bus.
But when you call the parents they want to have an attitude and go off on the teacher acting like my child is just 100 Angel.
No, you don’t know what your child is doing just because they might act that way, and then you know that they know that they’re at being disrespectful at school because they do it at home, because I see it, I do.
I see it if we can just put our pride down put our pride away and change hurts.
I know it hurts that’s why I didn’t want to change it.
First change is going to hurt, is going to be uncomfortable but, like my husband said anytime that you want to go on to that next level, then you’re just going to have to go through that and accept it.
It just is what it is grow up.
You know I also want to piggyback on both of y’all, because both of y’all are, you know, stating some some excellent points, and so one of the things that I think that we’re are being blinded is that we can do more as a community yeah, it’s okay To not look at someone as a competitor, but look at them as a comp someone to compliment them.
You know what I’m saying.
So it’s not about.
Oh I’m talk.
Oh I’m trying to compete against you.
No, it’s not! No! I don’t know it’s all about complimenting them.
You see what I’m saying everyone have a different skill set.
My skill set is different from Sheila and and Sheila’s skills said it’s different from me.
But together we impact masses and we have a level of credibility.
Yg wouldn’t be on a podcast show if, if he didn’t see the skill set and the gifts that we both have differently, but we come together as one to Be an Effective tool in our community.
I am so tired of looking at so many videos on social media about black kids, I’m not going to speak about the white Community, the Hispanic Community or any other community, I’m only speaking about the crisis that I see that’s going to continue on this generational curse That we are experiencing our single mothers have to realize that education is the key.
Our young kids do not have discipline, they do not have the mental capability or the emotional capability to make sound decisions, and that’s where we believe that we could make a difference with the sport of boxing boxing is a sport that requires a high level of discipline.
Self-Esteem and most importantly, confidence and communicating skills, as you alluded to earlier, this is something that is drastically missing in our community.
These kids are killing each other because they don’t know how to internalize and deal with conflict resolution and we’re not just talking about these things.
We are actually being what I call the law of the picture.
The law of the picture is not what you say, but what you do and that’s why I always tell Sheila Sheila.
Every time we walk out the house, we have to be on our p’s and q’s, but let’s not only do it outside of the house, but that’s also do it inside of the house.
So it can be an echo of who we are from the inside, because we don’t want to be artificial intelligence.
We want to be a natural, organic individuals, that’s coming together to impact our community, and I believe that people like you, YG uh, have a strong voice and you talk about issues that are uncomfortable, but they are issues that need to be talked about in our community.
Having faith it’s just like this generation, don’t have have a included seeking God I’d rather listen to an artist, and this artist is going to get me through some problems.
There are some songs that do have some meaningful content, but at the end of the day you have to go to where the source is the source.
Is God some of this? I would say now with the technology, and that has become a distraction.
It has separated people from really seeking God I rather get on Google and Google something up rather than well.
Let me go and crack up this Bible and see what the word says about this and that and that’s what’s going to sustain you through the life of trials and tribulations man.
So I think you’re touching on a lot of important topics that we need to be talked about, and I hope that you know Sheila and I can continue to do the necessary work that is needed in our community Through the Stafford Boxing Club mentoring program and one More thing before I turn it over to you so Friday we uh met with one of our well.
We met with some kids in our program to drop off food, and so the parent one of the parents told me she said I already told their father that it’s going to take more than just him to be able to raise our son.
So what I’m saying to you is that we appreciate what you and your wife been doing doing because, since he’s been in in your program, his grace has went up.
His confidence has went up, he’s he’s talking about being a lawyer at the age of nine.
One of the shortest guys in our program, but it is the the the importance of having a positive black male role model in their lives that make a huge difference in the lives of the young black youth in our community.
So people like you and I it definitely need it, and I want to thank you so much man for being um authentic.
You talked about uh unsuccessful marriages.
You told them that I had some part in this and they had some part, but at the end of the day, let’s not neglect.
What’S the important picture, the most important picture is these kids, because the enemy not worrying about y’all, he worrying about Generations after Generations.
So if he can come in and attack the mindset of these kids, then the curse will continue.
The marathon will continue in a negative way.
Oh just one other thing.
Sometimes I fall back because when you have two black men, two black leaders that are talking and communicating – I I believe that a lot of times the women and people in general need to see that it’s, okay, that a woman does not always have to say something.
It’S not that anybody’s controlling me.
It’S that the man is the head.
When, when you get married, the man is the head of the household.
That doesn’t mean he has a weapon he’s telling me what to do and do this and do that.
The husband is the covering, but even if somebody’s not married, that’s what we need to see more of.
We need to see strong black men who are in their position of leadership and they’re, doing it the right way to that and as you know, we have the utmost respect, and you know your husband respects you, but just me as a guest uh and as an Outsider, I also have the utmost respect for you, sister um, and I agree with that 100 and to jump on uh.
Exactly and that’s why I call you, king and queen.
This is out of respect, not the woke king and queen, but but more of holy king and queen more of that Bible type prophecy, Bible type, scriptural, marriage, king and queen out of respect – and let’s talk about this because on my last point I want to say When I’m in the communities – and I talk to a lot of people across the country of course, I caught the white black Jew Gentile.
I talk to everybody, but when we’re really talking about our community and the state of the epidemic, I have to put it in terms that people can really really break down and understand and I’ll say: Hey.
You remember Rome and they said yeah.
I said remember how powerful Rome was Rome controlled.
It was in command of most of the land masses that was recorded at the at that particular point in history, Rome, commanded everybody, but yet Rome still fell for one very good reason, and they would ask me well YG: how did Rome fall? I said now.
Just imagine and just listen: there was an issue within the communities where the fathers were not there and the young men were running rapid and committing crimes and called and causing chaos.
The young women, the daughters, were selling themselves through sex and lasciviousness and being crazy and out of order in chaos.
The sons and the daughters did not have any fear or respect for their mothers because they had become to a certain size and a certain age and Mama couldn’t tell of anything anymore.
Meanwhile, the fathers were out of the home at Wars dying over selfish gain money.
Their foolishness now what community does that sound like right? Now it sounds like our community? Hey, hey, hold up hold up the black community.
If you don’t want to say it I’ma say it: the black community uh, the African-American Community, the Black American Community, the Negro Community yeah, I’m saying for you.
It sounds like our community, the black community, because the men are not there.
These babies have no respect for Mama and I understand there’s a whole lot of great single moms out there, powerful women out there, but being honest and truthful by the time your children reach a certain age.
They are no longer afraid of you.
That’S why it takes that balance to have that father in the home and when it comes down to respect in the house.
Even when I was not married to my Ex-Wives when something went down, they called me and one in particular instance.
I had my son, who is uh, he’s 32 he’s 32 years old this year and he was around six.
No, I think it was 15 at the time and he was acting up in school.
He cussed out this teacher.
He cuts down his counselor, he cussed out the principle he cuts down the bus driver and then he got home and he disrespected his mother.
Now.
What do you think when I got the word and I got there? What do you think happened? I got in his face and I told him and he wanted to blow up on me and as soon as he pushed his chest against me, he quickly Hit the Floor very quickly very quickly.
Okay, now did I get arrested boy yep.
I went to jail for a whole weekend and guess what I didn’t care.
I told him when I got out.
If you ever disrespect your mother, you disrespect the bus driver, you disrespect your principle, you disrespect your counselor, you disrespect your teacher.
I will continue to put my size 13 up your backside until you’re speaking in every single language of sneaker that I wear.
What do you think happened after apologize to his mother and to everybody down the line and we never had an issue again.
That is the power of a father and a mother, working together in partnership, in unison, with our teachers, our counselors, our principals and our bus drivers for everybody that cares about our kids.
It’S a team teamwork, make the Dream, Work, facts and – and you know what it you know you hitting man he’s hitting everything.
What are you talking about? And I’m gon na say this one more time, because I said it the last time mothers take responsibility for who you decide to lay down with and not use any type of protection, because either you knew beforehand what type of man or boy that you were laying With what he was gon na do, maybe we can be so in love, we’re just blinded with it, but you so now you have a responsibility, so there’s no need for you to be lying to your child, lying to your children, telling your children.
What the father did to you, that’s none of their business and it’s mental abuse.
It’S all types of abuse.
When you talk down to a child about the father, and then you need to wise up, because sometimes the father, even though it’s not right, doesn’t want to be around you and want to deal with you and your crap and your feet as which then leads down To him not wanting to be around the child now once again with this child support.
Yes, I know you need help.
Everything has gone up in price, I know it, but at the end of the day, let that child go see that father, let him take him or her or take the children, stop using money as a weapon to have some type of power over this man.
Maybe he might be going through something you don’t know, but you need to rise up grow up, be that mature person that you’re supposed to be for God for yourself, for your child and for your children and get along with each other.
Stop the nonsense.
It’S not time it’s it’s time to stop oh mercy, so cut it out and if you get mad I really don’t care for real, and you know what baby to piggy bank on you and YG.
This is something else that I think.
Well, it’s a couple things.
The single parents are buying love.
What I mean by that is that, to show that I love you, imma buy you some Jordans, oh I’m gon na, buy you this Xbox or imma.
Buy you this PlayStation, even when they do wrong, even when they do wrong.
The scripture said: if you spoil the child, if you hold with hold the rod, you spoil the child, meaning, if you don’t Discipline Your Child, you got to be willing to go to go to jail if it means saving your child from going to jail for a Lifetime, so if you have to you know uh in in these single parents, you weighing yourself out trying to buy love.
So now you got to work more hours.
You got to be away from the house longer now.
Your kids is being exposed to all type of negative influence through their phones through different uh TV programs.
All this other type stuff and another thing that it’s an epidemic in our community YG, is that this generation and our older generation have confined it to this type of mindset.
We are Lord Jesus help me.
We are too focused on our sexual identity.
Instead of our intellectual identity, there’s a huge issue epidemic that I’m seeing it’s no longer I’m an intelligent person.
I speak well, I do this.
I do that! It’S oh it’s all about! Oh, am I this am I that you see what I’m saying so that is a distraction, so it’s no longer and my focus on getting a quality education, I’m all about letting you know who I am through my sexuality and you know you can choose whoever you Need to be, but in the black community what I’ve seen our ancestors.
They were some smart, intelligent people when it was going to school back in the day you couldn’t fill out an application or a student loan or Pilgrim, or nothing like that.
The community came together.
They took money, the women took money out, they brass and money on today, mattresses and in their corn jars, and all that and they do money money in a in a pot for the child or the individual.
That had promised to go off to college graduate and come back and help the community now, because we don’t have that type of system in place, no more.
We go out to school and the people who graduate now you look down on someone else who may not have had that opportunity to go to college, and you think that is because I’m graduated or I’m a college graduate that I’m better than the next person, not Realizing it was a sacrifice for you to even be able to go to school because a lot of these schools that most of us, uh, African-American blacks, Negroes, go to was once segregated.
And I love the fact that you broke that down because uh – and I tell anybody this when I’m coming up with with issues like that in topics like that, I say: take it back to the word of God, because this secular, the secularization of our culture, has Destroyed our culture, that’s none of this stuff that they’re talking about about gender, swapping and all this stuff.
None of this stuff is helping our kids be able to get the necessary critical thinking, skills and the gifts to be able to go out here and compete in a very highly competitive Workforce in digital force, and now they not only have to compete with humans.
They also now have to compete with AI now because we are in the future now so all this stuff that they’re teaching it is nothing but sabotage.
Now, look if you’re an adult if you want to choose to make certain choices with your body.
You are an adult, you are an adult, but I would say that everybody needs to return back to Bible, because if you have any questions about anything, even crisis search the scriptures look back into that word.
The word would have exactly what you need now.
You will experience the truth and it will cut like a double-edged sword and it will hurt, but once you become mature, spiritually, as you guys were, saying, mature emotionally, mature, mentally you’re able to dive into that word eat that word digest that word feed that spirit and Pour it out into your kids, what needs to be poured out, because the Lord and the Holy Spirit have poured into you and now you’re able to walk this path of passion with truth and integrity? Is it harder yeah, but is it worth it absolutely because where are we that we have removed God from our families? The black community is dead.
Last in every single demographic that matter, economically, we haven’t moved in 30 years.
We are still stuck at 13 of the population because we delete ourselves through abortion and killing each other on the street.
And if we continue this deletion of ourselves through self-delution in the womb, we won’t have a black community by 2069.
And if we keep on going the way we’re going, as I said, dad last on finance dead last on home ownership now, is there certain racial elements with redlining in the history? Of course, all this stuff has happened, but once you once you say, I’m in command of my life and I’m going to take the necessary actions to fix my life and hope and be accountable for your own actions, men and women partnering together.
The way it’s supposed to be now you’ve become powerful enough to deal with the evils of this world.
That’S not only affecting you that’s affecting our children and our community, but it takes you to make that choice to get back into that word of God, trust Our Father lean, not on your own understanding and walk with faith and not by sight and get this work Done just like the staffers walking by faith, no matter what they see, they’re going to make a difference, and that is what we need more of yeah.
I agree.
I totally agree with you and you know, to give a couple of uh situations that we were faced with, so we applied well.
We approached this bank and um.
The bank had some other type of agenda and I felt that it is my responsibility and shield responsibility to guard these young kids mind at this particular age.
They are at fifth graders, they’re, very vulnerable.
Their minds are like sponges and for the sake of our integrity and our spiritual beliefs, we walked away from a check that we could have used to do something, but because we showed God that we wasn’t willing to compromise a blessing came in a different direction.
I was having a conversation, so the man of God said so.
When you’re gon na ask me for uh, you know how much you need to buy the kids to track suits, and I was like what, because we was on the phone for about two hours, and it wasn’t even about that.
It was just about the fellowship that we were having, and so he said cash at me this and add a little more onto it as well.
Another thing was we applied for a grant at another bank and the fact that they they had a question that says uh something about the lgbtq community.
Is our program uh specifically for this community, and I said no because, like it’s not specifically for that Community, it’s for everyone, you understand, and so, as a result we got denied of that.
You know so it’s kind of like you know if you don’t subject yourself to certain new uh uh, a new world order, because what’s wrong is right and what’s right is wrong.
Now I was reading and studying out of the John Maxwell material that I have because he’s he’s, like the guru about leadership, and one of the things that I ran across in one of my uh biblical study.
Time was that if you compromise for the sake of something temporary, you lose everything.
If you stand for what you believe.
Yes, it’s going to be hard, but you’ll get double for your trouble.
Now, I’m not in it for the monetary of things I’m not in it, because I’m looking for a reward, I’m doing it because Lord I’m willing to become a martyr for the gospel, and so my mindset is different.
So I’m willing to be persecuted for my religious belief in what my morals are.
You know what I’m saying.
We have become a community where we’re not willing to stand up for.
What’S right, everybody have an expiration date, and so we stand on the shoulders of those who experience, hardship and in persecution.
But today we are mentally, spiritually and emotionally weak and that’s where the Stafford Boxing Club mentoring program come in because we identify that.
So God is using some godly people to to to to instruct and encourage some kids that need to see this so that we can somewhat break the cycle.
We can only do our part, but we need other people to join in and become a organized group through resources and and networking, but don’t provide resources and and and networking with organizations that are not true to their true calling.
And I agree and never compromise and when we talk about truth and I’m gon na want to make sure everybody here this, because you just hit the nail on the head when you start standing for truth, especially with God, expect pushback.
When you start standing for truth and not compromising your values, expect people to hate.
You expect the struggle expect the adversity, because anyone who loves God the world will hate you anyway.
Even when I was running for congress, you know I got.
People tried to compromise Me by offering me money and saying YG will give you so much new millions or whatever, but you got to walk away from God.
You got to walk away from all of the values that you believe in and I said no and then I got my life threatened.
They said well, if you come here talking all this stuff about God and truth and you’re, not even people, people gon na kill.
You I said: well, you know I’ll be somewhere at a certain time.
I see y’all there, I’m not afraid I’m not afraid to lose.
My life don’t be afraid to lose your life, be afraid of the one who can destroy your soul, but don’t be afraid of the one who can take your life because God is in command and I’m telling you now.
Yes, it’s harder.
But if you truly want things to change, it’s going to have to take someone to step up and say I’m willing to not compromise, I’m willing to not Bend I’m willing to stand, but God for the truth, not only for my sake but for the generations to Come after me and that sacrifice, even if I have to lose my life all I know I was wake up in paradise, and all I want to hear is well done my things and Faithful Servants, because that’s all that matters eternity lasts a whole lot longer than These short eight decades that some of us will get eight decades.
Is it – and it goes by in a blink of an eye so choose today whom you serve and if you serve God, your life will be harder, but it would be more satisfying and you will change the things you need to change and if black lives truly Matter then, black lives need to go back to God, where Christ matters and then Everything Will Change, amen, amen, amen, well, brother, YG, uh.
You know what I I really don’t really want to uh continue on because, like you know, that’s the end.
That’S the period at the center.
You know right, yeah, yeah, that’s the fear.
So I know when the Holy Spirit say: that’s it.
That’S it and, and everything that you said is correct.
Uh is there anything else you want to say before we get up out of here? No, we need to just leave it on what YG says: hey bro, listen.
You got the last word today, my boy for real, and we appreciate you being on that show and we look forward to uh connecting with you so that we can come to some of these events that you’re hosting in the not too distant future.
Let people know um how he can anybody, oh yeah, so yeah yeah, yeah, listen um! Once you tell people how to get in contact with you and if they want to donate to what you got going on.
This is the platform and opportunity to do that before we get up out of here yeah I mean I’m on all social media, YG, nightstorm, n y g h, t s, t o r m on all social media uh.
My old Congressional Campaign page is still up because I’m very active in the community – that’s YG for congress.
com ygp congress.
com, even though I’m not running for congress.
At this moment I could maybe run again if we don’t know um but uh, but if you want to get in touch with me, always go there through YG for congress.
com and make sure you pay attention to the school and safety portion of the website.
And you can always connect with me and also connect with me through Stafford boxing we’re going to be partners on some things, and I want to be making sure I’m working very very closely to the staff person.
If you want to get in touch with me.
Contact step for boxing I’d, rather you contact stuff for boxing first and then have all of us come to you.
So we can work with you as a team to make sure you, your family and your babies and Community is well taken care of, and that’s all I got to say, go through staff of boxing, oh yeah, so uh so March, the 29th.
We are uh hosting a financial workshop with truest bank at Panola Way elementary school, so we would love for you to come out and interact with our youth and uh.
So they can hear your voice and how we going to set it up is we’re going to have a circle of chairs and we’re gon na.
Have a student uh, a a mature adult? You know we invited some people, you got truth and we got some other guests coming in as well.
So I thought that this concept would be kind of unique, because I didn’t want to have a platform where you standing on a Podium and you’re talking down on the kids, and I don’t want that.
I think you know the the message will will be received more effectively if it’s just a heart-to-heart, real real.
You know the level for excuse me, the playing field is level, and so, by doing this, I think that the kids will remember this and it will be more impactful, so we definitely want to invite you to come on out.
We definitely uh send the information.
