Hodgetwins critique Dr. Rashad Ritchie for misrepresenting a Chester Township incident where police confronted Black men playing basketball, arguing Ritchie omitted that one player had an active bench warrant and officers were enforcing a residency ordinance requiring permits for non-residents. The hosts contend the alleged "Code 18" audio reflected routine patrol rather than racial harassment, accusing Ritchie of race-baiting while defending the township's right to control community resources like private gated communities. Ultimately, the discussion frames the event as lawful enforcement of local rules rather than systemic racism. [Automatically generated summary]

Township Ordinance and Bias00:12:08
Yeah, got a new show for y'all.
Got a damn good show.
So Dr. Rashad Ritchie, he's got a popular YouTube channel.
Undisputable, ain't it?
Indisputable.
And he's a doctor, man.
Undisputable is undisputable Dr. Rashad Ritchie.
He's a black man.
He's got an education.
He's educated, man.
So you would think he's smart, which he is, but he let his personal feelings and his biases dictate how he think.
I don't care if you got a PhD.
I don't care what kind of education you got.
If you let your personal bosses, your personal feelings dictate how you think, you might as well be in kindergarten, man.
Yeah, he's woke.
He went and woke PhDs.
Think women can have dicks.
Think men can walk around and shit a baby out.
Sounds crazy, right?
Yeah.
Not the Democrats.
But anyway, he put up this video.
Yeah, he's a race pimp, too, man.
Yeah, whenever there's a race issue, I think a lot of libraries do yourself a disservice when you're trying to paint every white man like they did MKKK, man.
It's just, I mean, there's good white people, there's bad white people, there's good black people, then you got niggas, man.
There's good and bad.
All walks of life.
So he put up this video, and turns out it was a bunch of niggas outside of Fred Brassy.
Hey, look, honestly, I don't even use that word.
Yeah, but we think it's funny.
You know, that's the only time, because I think it's funny.
That's funny, man.
White people can't say it, but niggas can say it.
Yeah, I'm not that dude to go up like, what's up, nigga?
Ain't nothing much, nigga.
I'm just over here being a nigga, you know?
Yeah, nigga.
It's all being a nigga.
That's all we can be, right?
Niggas.
Yeah.
See, I'm not that dude.
But anyway.
Yeah.
So it was a bunch of black people playing basketball, and the cops came up and said, get your, you not walk them around here.
We don't let your kind around here.
You didn't go back where you came from.
That's where it's seen.
Here's his.
Okay, here's his take on it.
Here's his take on what happened.
Black people committing criminal activity because they had the audacity to play basketball.
Here it is.
If you don't live here, you have to leave unless you get.
So you're telling us we can't be no visitors in our people who houses?
So you can't call nobody.
So we can't call friends that let them come be on the park and live here.
Nah, you fly out of the sparks.
Stay out of that.
If you don't live in the township, you can't be here.
If anybody outside of the township wants me on here, you have to have a permit to let me be here.
Got the honey.
You love the counter building, Greena.
Can we get this coordinates?
We can.
We got the township.
Where the township building?
Right over there.
The Brown Center?
Yes.
We can get it right now.
No, it's close.
No business hours.
So y'all saying we can't be visitors at our own community?
So we can't.
We can't help build a community either.
Vago officers.
That's what I like to see.
Real police work.
Code 18.
Negroes on the basketball court.
What'd he say?
Code 18.
Negroes on the basketball.
Can you bangs that coming over the radio?
You a cop?
You come in.
It's a slow day today.
What?
Code 18, Negroes at the court.
Let's go get these niggas.
Man, you over exaggerate that, man.
So he conveniently leaves out the part.
He left a lot of context.
This actually happened four years ago.
Yeah, I guess it's a slow date when it comes to racism, so he's got to go back four years.
He's just looking for anything that's remotely raced.
He goes back four years.
Well, his whole channel is based around race, so he couldn't find nothing that recently happened.
Yeah.
And he characterized a lot of white people as Kerns.
And in the sentiment behind that term, when you call white people currents, that is racism.
You're generalizing a demographic of people.
That's racist do that, but we get a pass because we're black.
Yeah.
And we are inferior to white folks.
Yeah, and white people, y'all superior.
Y'all can handle it.
Y'all can take it.
Y'all better nuts.
Yeah.
But anyway, he conveniently leaves out of his video.
He makes it seem like, right?
He makes it sort of catch off.
He makes it seem like they just rolled up and saw some niggas at the basketball court.
It said, let's go get these niggas.
But it wasn't like that.
Go ahead and finish what you was going to say, man.
I was mid-sentence.
Okay, I'm going to start again.
He conveniently leapt out the park where one of these dude, black guys, had a bench warrant.
Here's the video.
Niggas start scattered.
Run, nigga.
Can we get y'all badge numbers?
What happened?
He black, guess what?
Oh, man.
He's taking his ass in jail.
Did you see when the cops walk up?
The other two black guys started backing up.
It's like, that nigga's got a warrant.
Shut up.
One more time.
They come walking up, they just start backing up.
It was so funny, man.
Look at this.
Like, they already knew.
Yeah, like, yeah, they date for that nigga right there.
He's got a big for it.
Right?
But so that's why they're there.
They was driving, you know, there's patrolling, surveilling the area, looking for crime.
They say, hey, I've been looking for that nigga.
He's got a bitch warrant.
Let's go get him.
They're doing the job.
Right?
But turns out, I guess there's a city ordinance.
Yeah.
If you don't, which I, I mean, I guess there's a city ordinance.
Man, what are you studying, man?
What you calm down?
I've never heard of a city ordinance where you have to.
In this area, the cops was telling these.
Well, let's show them the video.
Let's show them the third video.
Just show them.
Can we have your name and badge number, sir?
What's up, man?
Can we have your name and badge numbers?
I'm Corporal White Barrett, 2942.
What's your name, Austin?
My name is Omar.
Omar Wilson.
You know.
No, I was just, I want to know so we can get the audience so we can know about what y'all talk about.
Yeah, we want to know who we're talking about.
Yeah.
We just never really enforced it, but now they want us to enforce it because they don't want these sports being used by somebody that doesn't live.
I'm just asking.
Okay, we'll find out.
And today we're up here doing a job.
I had a warrant, so we did our job.
Yeah.
You're right, though.
You're right.
So you're saying we can't have no visitors up here.
If you're going to have a big gathering, you need a permanent.
We're going to make the war.
Just a big gathering.
Especially if you want to have people from outside content.
So if it's just one person that don't live up here, it's not a problem.
Because you said a big crowd.
You can't be off here in a crowd.
The parks are specifically for township residents.
Okay.
We got it.
We got it.
All right, we go, we're gonna find out monday.
Yeah, we're gonna sign up now.
Do y'all see in the background there's actually negroes playing basketball.
They doing nothing to because they live there right, all right, he's.
There's a look at all them over there.
They said nothing to them because they I guess they apparently they live there.
Okay, keep rolling video.
All right, we go, we're gonna find out monday.
Yeah, we gonna sign up the township ordinance for the playgrounds and the basketball courts and everything else and you're gonna read it on there.
That states, only township residents killed the parks.
Okay, all right.
Is it in another place?
We can get it from, except it instead of there?
Is that only a township rule?
That's not other people, township ordinance, it's just a township ordinance y'all.
Chester Township, Chester Township.
The council, not the police.
We don't make the laws here.
The township person, the council members, are.
Yeah, we used to talk there.
Council members got real counseling.
I'm cool to count, i'm willing to hear, but if you don't live in a township, you can't.
I don't think you've been talking camera off me.
We going to the bank.
We go with the court man, I think this is harassment.
I just don't.
I'm just saying basketball.
We got a spare time.
We all trying to make a good community, we all trying to make it good.
Like I said, we could all come to agreement, no more drinking in the thing, no more drugs, no more nothing.
We could all come to agreement.
We all human beings, all grown men, you guys don't police your own friends.
If that will, come up here and smoke a little word drink, because you're not gonna say anything.
But when we come up, when we come up here to stop that from happening, then we get a hard time about it.
Yeah, when you guys should be.
This is your part, police.
So we try to be trying to get you out of here.
We try to clean your heart.
We try to paint benches like facebook, live famous, every camera.
Yeah man, you know it.
I mean, I just want to know the rules.
Get my good shot.
Yeah, I just want to know the rules.
This in Fyi too.
See, the cops was hanging out with him explain further, explaining issues.
And there's other black kids, there's black people sitting down there.
There's even a black woman sitting on the bench.
Yeah, it's like yeah.
And in his video he makes it seem like they just rolled up on some, some black guys and started harassing because they're black.
No, they recognized the guy that had a bench warrant.
They went up and arrested him.
Then you know, once you arrest somebody, whoever's involved in it uh arrest, they're gonna start investigating.
Hey, you guys live here.
Hey hey, you don't live here.
And it turns out there's an ordinance there.
Yeah yeah, which makes a lot of sense.
Man, you don't want a lot of people from other neighborhoods.
You don't know who.
They are coming to your communities using your facilities and they don't put nothing into it.
You know yeah, bringing a bunch of crime and trouble.
Yeah yeah yeah, they don't want a bunch of poor Coming in that neighborhood using basketball courts, this is real talk right there.
You think they want a bunch of white meth heads smoking crack and doing meth, playing basketball?
No, yeah, don't even live in the area.
Don't even live in the area, man.
I mean, it's just an ordinance to keep people in that community safe.
They want only people that live there in that court, in that area.
Yeah, you know, it makes sense.
You know, it keeps the bad people out, it keeps the good people safe.
Like, we live in a gated community, right?
And we pay association dues.
It's a nice, it's a nice little spot, right?
So I go, there's a clubhouse, yeah, right?
And I'm in the clubhouse, and uh, they got workout because I mean, we're in there working out, yeah, because you know, I pay association dues, I pay association dues.
You use this club, right?
Right?
So then this lady comes up, excuse me, um, y'all live here, and I was like, Yeah, we live and show who we are and I did and stuff.
We live here, and he's like, Well, did you pay for the uh, the club dues?
I was like, Oh, the association dues don't pay it?
Gated Community Clubhouse Dues00:01:03
Just like, no, I was like, Well, how much is it?
He said, It's 10,000 a year.
I said, Bitch, you crazy as hell.
I'll be leaving now.
I left.
I didn't take out a camera, start videotaping her.
Yeah, just this is racism.
Man, I could go to Lifetime Jam.
That's $100 a month.
I got basketball courts, you got everything.
It is swimming pools, Olympic swimming pools in there.
I'm gonna pay $10,000 for this shit for a couple damn dumbbells.
But there's a bunch of doctors and lawyers up in there.
You can tell there's like they ain't making no gains either.
Yeah, looking straight crazy up in that jail.
Yeah, but it had nothing to do with racism.
Yeah, yeah.
Just the city of witness.
They recognize the guy.
But that guy, Dr. Rashad Richie, didn't point any out.
He's just, he's pushing this narrative that, hey, they have to get you because you're black.
And that wasn't even the case.
You're just race baiting, which, you know, it's very detrimental to the black community.
