on In the Trenches with Teddy Daniels.
All right, folks.
Bye.
I'm ready to go if you are.
We're going to cut right in to my man, Chief Jerome Bell.
Folks, joining me now for Ask a Black Guy, Jerome Bell.
Now, folks, I called Jerome the other day, and I said, you know what?
I may have gotten ahead of myself.
I said, you know what?
I'm going to call Jerome and see if he'll come on the show with an Ask a Black Guy segment.
And Jerome was like, Jerome loved it.
He was like, why not?
So, Jerome, thanks for joining us.
Give the folks a little bit of your background.
Hey, it's always good to be in the trenches with you, Teddy Daniels.
I drove around for Congress in 2020 and 2022.
I got taken out by the primary by the McCarthy machine.
Born and raised in Cleveland, Ohio.
I grew up in the hood.
My dad was able to move us out to the white suburbs.
And so I had a little taste of both worlds growing up.
You know, as a child, but, you know, most of my family still lives in Cleveland or in rural Alabama.
You know, so I'm a country boy as well.
Both my parents were from Alabama.
So, you know, I did 27 years in the Navy, retired Navy chief petty officer.
I was a Navy crewman, have over 9,000 flight hours in my career.
You know, that's about it, man.
I got three boys.
I got one that's a doctor.
My middle son is an HVAC technician.
My youngest son is a musical theater performer.
And I've been married for 26 years.
Wow, man.
Wow.
Now, Jerome, you know I'm going to take a lot of heat for doing this, right?
You know they're going to come at me hard.
But, screw them.
And as we talked the other day, you know, you and I both grew up in the era of Archie Bunker, the Jeffersons, Blazing Saddles, which probably wouldn't even be allowed to be played on TV today.
No, none of those shows.
None of them.
No, no.
Even good times with J.J. We grew up like this and there was no racism until I feel that the progressives on the left started pushing that into the forefront for political gain and political purposes.
So, Jerome, let's go ahead and start with these questions, okay?
This is Ask a Black Guy.
Jerome, you're a black guy, right?
As far as I know last time I said.
All right, all right, cool.
So I just want to make sure, all right?
So, do all black people agree with the opinions of black elected officials?
No, not at all.
Not at all.
You'd be stupid to agree with, you know, all the opinions of anyone, you know, any, even if you're a white guy.
You know, you shouldn't, you know, agree with the white officials.
But no, no, not all black people do.
It is the media.
You know, the media really perpetrates that and put that out there like we do.
And also the left, you know, the Democrats, because they're on the airwaves.
So, you know, the more you see of it from the airwaves, the more you believe.
But no, that's false.
Okay, now I want to do my own personal follow-up on this.
Jerome, what is your take on people like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson?
They're poverty pips, man.
You know, both Al Sharpton.
Al Sharpton is really an FBI fed, in my opinion.
And Jesse Jackson is both the race baiters.
You know, both, I think, are communists.
They grew up, you know, in the era of the Civil Rights Movement to where the Communist Party USA hijacked that.
And I call them race pips.
You know, I don't think they have the interests of The black man and black people's best interest at heart.
Their best color to them is green.
So they're exploiting any type of racial divide they can push for the dollar bill.
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely.
You know, victimization and racism sells.
You know, racism is one of the biggest sellers in the United States.
So, my next question, Jerome.
And you're a Navy guy, so you would know this.
Absolutely.
Go Navy.
Navy Chiefs.
Can black people really not swim?
Well, you know, Teddy, most Black people can't swim.
Here's the deal.
I used to couldn't swim.
I actually taught myself how to swim before I came in the Navy.
You know, we're dense people.
We sink like rocks.
You know, that is true.
But we can overcome.
We can overcome those disabilities of not being able to swim.
But a lot of people can't swim because a lot of Black people aren't taught to swim.
Because growing up in some of these hoods and some of the neighborhoods, they don't have swimming pools.
In the neighborhood that I grew up in, we didn't have a swimming pool.
We had a community swimming pool, but it never had any water in it.
So we weren't able to go out and do those things.
We weren't able to afford the YMCA and stuff like that.
So not being able to talk.
Can we be taught to swim?
Yeah.
All three of my boys swim.
So black people can be taught to swim.
You know, Jerome, I'm going to be honest with you.
I had no idea that the big reason that there's a misconception that black people couldn't swim was because of access and availability to swimming pools.
So, like, man, you just cleared that up for me.
Now, here's one.
I really want to hear your answer on this.
This was a great question that came in.
Why is it that it's always black people that get killed first in horror movies?
You know, that's a good question.
Yeah, I don't know, but if you think about it, it's always the black person that gets killed first.
I mean, well, because, you know, I guess in horror movies, if you really look at horror movies, you know, it's actually a myth because a lot of the shit, you know, that happens in horror movies, black people won't be doing anyway.
We're not standing around waiting to see, you know, Freddie coming through the door.
We hear noise running the hell out of there.
So that's probably why we get killed first because, you know, because in real life, we would have ran away already, so we wouldn't be there anyway.
So it kind of takes the reality away from the situation in the horror movie.
Because honestly, man, I'd be right there with you.
I watch this stuff and I'm like, man, don't go in there.
Don't go in there.
Why are you going in there?
You're stupid.
Why are you being stupid?
We're not doing that.
Me and my wife, we sit there and watch some movies.
We're like, damn, that was stupid.
Black people wouldn't do that.
All right.
Here's the next one, buddy.
So that one, so how or why do black people get killed first in horror movies?
We're going to have to research that.
We're going to have to research that.
I'm going to say it's because of your answer that they removed the reality from the situation that the black dude would be like, man, I ain't going in there with y'all.
Totally.
The black dude would be gone.
No, we'd be gone.
We're not doing that.
You know, it's like, you know, an Amityville whore.
You know, when the guy said, you know, when that, uh, uh, or the guys, whatever it was, they get out.
Yeah.
We wouldn't have been gone.
Yeah.
We wouldn't have stayed in the house.
We wouldn't have been gone.
I'd have left my shit, everything out bouncing.
Okay.
So.
And here's a good one that came in.
How come black people don't ski or play ice hockey?
Because that shit's too cold, man.
Black people don't do cold weather like that.
Okay.
So I'm just going to write in my notes.
Black people don't like cold weather.
Black people don't like cold weather.
Hold on.
Hold on.
Now, I got something.
Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Brother, it's cold there.
That's the home of Prince and Kirby Puckett.
Okay?
So you can't, like, so you're going to just say, like, they don't like cold people.
Black people don't like cold weather.
Have you ever seen Kevin Parker in Minnesota in the winter?
No, I have not.
There you go.
You've seen him in the air.
All right, man.
Okay, let me write down this answer.
I'm writing this down.
Black people don't like cold weather.
There's always the exception to everything.
We're talking in general terms here.
Alright, next one.
Do black people really like Eminem?
No.
No?
No, we don't like Eminem.
Eminem is fake.
Even though it was Dr.
Dre that gave him his start.
He's a fake black guy.
Dr.
Dre, you know what?
I heard...
No, not Dr.
Dre, but speaking of M&M. Okay.
M&M stuff is pretty whack.
All right, so black people do not like Eminem.
No, not the majority.
All right, cool.
All right, well, that clears that up.
So, like, I know that I could never get in and be successful in a hip-hop career then.
No, you couldn't.
It's actually some cool white dudes that rap.
You know, Eminem was okay, and he made some money.
And that's because who did his beats?
The black guy did his beats.
You know, Dre did his beats.
So if Eminem tried to do his own piece, he probably wouldn't be successful.
Eminem was successful because of Dre.
Gotcha.
Well, I'm going to cross that off my list anyway.
Do not pursue hip-hop career.
So here's one, and I found this one odd because I like the same thing.
Why do black people love chickens so much?
Now, Jerome, I'm a chicken freak myself, man.
Like, you could put me in a restaurant.
They could have steak, lobster, or chicken.
I'd be like, yo, I'm taking the chicken.
What is it?
And black people even joke about this themselves.
What is the connection between black people and chickens?
The real connection is that chicken was cheap.
You know, a lot of Black people grew up poor.
A lot of Black people grew up in the country.
A lot of Black people grew up in the ghetto.
So that was one of the cheapest staples that Black people could get.
You know, so we ate chicken.
Now, on the flip side of that, I haven't seen any white dudes that turned down a piece of chicken.
Yeah, hell, you go in Buffalo Wild Wings, you see more white people than Black people.
Well, that's what I'm talking about.
You know, so...
You know, so I think everybody loves chicken, you know, but, you know, I know that's a stereotype on black people because, you know, like you said, Teddy, we joke about it ourselves, too.
We're not going to turn down a piece of chicken.
I love chicken myself.
I grew up on chicken, you know, but that was one of the main reasons that it was a cheap staple for black families.
Gotcha.
And it makes complete sense.
So for you white viewers out there watching, pay attention because you're all getting an education right now, okay?
So here's one.
And again, we hear a lot of hate against other ethnic groups, other racial groups from black elected officials.
And this is where this question comes in.
Do black people hate other black people too, or is it just white people?
Well, hell, black people kill more black people than anybody, so I guess we hate black people just as much as we hate any other race because we kill ourselves more than anyone.
Makes total sense.
Okay, here's one.
What is it with black people and clean shoes?
Because we like to look fly, man.
We always gotta look fly, brother.
We always have to be clean and look fly.
I've never...
Well, here's the thing.
And I actually heard a comedian say this.
I forget who it was or where it was.
If I'm around black dudes with clean shoes, I'm good.
But if I see a black dude coming up the street and he's got some nasty-ass dirty shoes on, that's the one I've got to look out for.
Yeah, absolutely.
That's the one I gotta worry about, okay?
That's right.
My brother ain't gonna get his shoes dirty, man, so you don't have to worry about him.
Alright, alright, cool.
Alright, next question.
Do black people hate country music?
Oh man, you know, me personally, I love country music.
You know, it depends on where you're from.
You know, I know all the black dudes that I know down in the country, they love country music.
You know, you go down to Alabama, you know, one of my boys down there, he know every lyric to a country music song.
So I guess it depends on the environment and where you grew up.
So no, all black people don't hate country music.
Okay, okay.
What do you think gave that perception?
Probably because, you know, most people that know black people, you know, listen to R&B, you know, because R&B is one of the staples, I guess, in most black households.
They hear the rap, you know, they hear the loud thumping music.
You know, you hardly ride by, you know, especially in an urban city or in the city, you hardly ride by a black person's car, you know, thumping Tim McGraw.
Brother, I don't even listen to Tim McGraw, man.
Come on.
Man, I gotta get you up to speed on some country, man.
Oh, man.
Listen, man, you know what my favorite country song is, man?
What's that?
Live Like I Was Dying.
Yeah, that's a good one.
That's a good one.
I'm just not a Tim McGraw fan.
You know, that's just a favorite song of mine, man.
Live Like You Were Dying.
All right.
Here's one.
And this one actually came in by several different people.
This was a multiple-person question.
Uh-oh.
Okay.
Why do black people vote Democrat?
Well, because...
And let me clear up the myth on that.
Okay.
Black people don't vote Democrat because they want to vote Democrat.
They vote Democrat because they don't trust anybody else.
You know, in running for Congress, as a black conservative, here's what I learned, is that most Republicans feel the same way that black people are going to vote Democrat.
Black people are just looking for someone that they can trust.
Leave it.
And the party don't go into the black neighborhoods to go and try to get the black vote.
So if you don't go and try to get the black vote, you're not going to get the black vote.
And it's the same cliche.
We'd rather trust the devil, you know, than the devil you don't know.
So, of course, they're going to keep voting Democrat because Republicans never come in and give them another viable option.
You know, it's easy to say.
You know, just vote Republican.
Leave the Democrat Party and just vote Republican.
Well, that's like, you know, walking up the plantation down the road and going up to another plantation master's house that you don't know.
Gotcha.
So they feel, you know, comfortable.
And historically, you know, most families, and this is white families as well, you're going to vote the way that your parents vote.
Mm-hmm.
So how do we change that, Jerome?
How do we get more black folks on board with Republican policies?
You know, how do we do that?
Like, what needs to be done for that to happen?
Because, like, here's the thing.
You have you.
You have Kim Klasick.
You have Billy Prempa.
All right?
Joe Collins.
All who ran for Congress as black conservatives in predominantly black areas.
And in Billy's area, New Jersey, They still voted for the old white Democrat over Billy.
Like, I can't understand why that would happen.
You know, here it is because, and I know this for a fact, is that the Republican Party tend not to get behind a lot of black people.
Politicians or black people running in black areas because they feel like it's wasted vote.
If a lot of the money that came, you know, that come into the party was put into these areas, the way you can hold events in these areas, you can go in and get the vote.
You do a lot of, so you have to do a lot of the things that the Democrats do.
You know, you have to go in.
You have to hold voter registration drives.
You got to go in.
You got to get free shit.
You got to have some things with music and some food to get the people out because if you don't get the people out, they're not going to come and listen to you.
So you have to We need the things that the Democrats would do to go and get the votes.
And you have to go where they are.
You're not going to get black votes standing in the white suburban neighborhoods talking about vote Republican.
You know, that's where we were successful at putting black votes over to the Republican Party.
And if the Republican Party actually got behind people like myself and Kim Clasic, if you look at our races, The RNC didn't put any money into our races.
They stuck with their candidates.
Like in my race, Kevin McCarthy put millions of dollars against me.
And so you're not going to get black votes that way, because here's what they'll say is, well, the Republican Party didn't even get behind a black guy, so why should we?
Yeah.
Now, here's another question.
And this actually ties in to this one.
Does the Republican Party truly value the black vote?
No, I don't think they do.
I don't think they do.
And, you know, for the reasons I just stated, because if they truly valued and truly wanted the black vote, they would do the things to go into the black communities to get the vote.
Because you have to go where they are, Teddy.
You know how it is.
I mean, you know, even if it's rule, you got to go and get those rule votes, man.
You're not going to get those rule votes unless you go there and talk to these people.
So you have to go where they are.
You have to go and give them something else.
You know, in exchange for their vote.
You know, you have to, you know, give them an alternative.
If they don't have a viable alternative, you're not going to do it.
And they're not going to do it.
So I think if the Republican Party made a concerted effort, if they made a concerted effort to get the black vote like they're actually trying to do with the Latino vote, I think you'll see a lot of change because a lot of black people don't want to vote Democrat.
They know what's going on in their cities, and a lot of people don't vote Democrat.
A lot of those votes are stolen, to be honest.
So, touching on this too, Jerome, and I get this as a veteran, and I'm sure you get it as a veteran.
Boy, they love to use you as a prop.
Okay.
And, oh, hey, we got Teddy here.
Teddy served in Afghanistan.
Teddy was wounded.
Great to have you here, Teddy.
Thanks for showing up.
Thank you for your service.
But, boy, the second you throw your hat in the ring, they turn on you so quick.
Do you find that true for black folks running for office as well?
Yeah, absolutely.
Here's one of the things that I was told running in my district, which was, you know, it's 60%, you know, 60-40, 60% white, 40% black, but you need those black votes to win, you know, pretty much overall.
You know, so, I mean, I was told, even as a black guy, not to use your color As a reason you're running or not to use your color, don't mention your color because we want the best candidate to win, especially in the primary.
So you mean like nobody would be able to tell?
I mean, well...
You know what I mean?
Come on.
I mean, you know, people would be able to tell however.
Here's what happens, though, right?
If you're the winner, okay?
If you're the winner...
They always use your...
You know, just like Democrats do, they tend to use your color to benefit them at that point.
Case in point, right?
Winsome Sears.
You know, the first black...
Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, right?
Well, during her race, she couldn't say that.
You know, she was just going to be the best.
She couldn't use her color.
But as soon as she won, the RNC capitalized on her color and made a whole lot of money and a whole lot of, you know, insight on her color.
Fox News, oh, the first black this, the first black that.
But when she was running, she couldn't say, you know, if I win, I'm going to be the first black, right?
Yeah.
You know, so there's a difference in that to where, you know, like I said, they'll use you when they need you.
So your race is more or less exploited politically then?
Absolutely it is, too.
When it's time for them to exploit it, I mean, just like the Democrats, Democrats do the same thing.
You know, they exploit race when it's, you know, and they tend to do it more because you find more blacks in the Democrat Party.
Mm-hmm.
You know, so they, you know, exploit the, you know, the race dating and the color more than the Republican Party does because the Republican Party is majority white.
They feel like if a black Republican speaks on black issues as a black Republican, that's a losing message, and it's actually not.
So, And again, I've got my own personal follow-up questions to this one, Jerome.
And they were doing the speaker's race in the House a couple weeks ago.
And Byron Donalds went up, and he was nominated for speaker as well.
And I forget who gave the speech, but they said the first...
Black nominee for...
Republican nominee for Speaker of the House.
Right.
Here's my issue.
Here's my issue with this.
And I get kind of wound up when I see this happen.
So like...
Whenever Biden appoints somebody, okay, it's the first black woman to do this, or like Winston Sears, the first black woman.
How about just, no, I'm one, I'm the qualified candidate, okay?
Like, my race really has nothing to do with this.
What are your thoughts on them trying to even exploit Byron Donalds?
Well, you know, it's the same thing when they're running races, okay?
It's like now, for example, Democrats' ballot harvest, right?
You know, they see other things that they do.
So what is the Republican Party starting or talking about doing now?
Ballot harvesting, right?
We have to go and do what the Democrats do.
We have to, you know, play their game.
Well, that's the Democrats' game.
The Democrats' game is to use color, right?
Identity politics.
Identity politics.
So if you're going to play that game, then the Republican Party has to understand that if game recognizes game, you know, as we would say on the football field, right?
You know, so if the Democrat Party is so successful, And using identity politics, why not use identity politics on the Republican side as well?
So what they did with Byron Donalds, they threw that out there using identity politics to go up against Hakeem Jeffries because they wouldn't want that one-up, right?
The Democrat Party had that one-up with Hakeem Jeffries being the first.
Well, they say he was the first, but Rainey was actually the first.
But being the first black in his position.
So the Republicans said, okay, well, We got one, and we're going to do it too.
So that's what they did.
They just tried to one-up.
They just tried to match.
Well, not one-up, but they tried to match tit for tat, and they tried to match, and that's what that was.
And if Byron Donalds would have gotten more than a couple of votes...
He may actually be the speaker.
And I honestly believe that if he would have won speaker, if they would have voted for Byron Donald as speaker, you probably would have seen a few more black people come over to the Republican Party.
Because it goes back to, well damn, they didn't even support the black guys, so why should I? Black people and the Democrat Party, it's identity politics.
So you have to play identity politics.
And they lost on that.
The Republican Party lost on that.
I like how you just put that, man.
I really do.
All right.
Here's one.
Why do black people like grape drink so much?
Hey, man, because we grew up on grape Kool-Aid.
That shit was cheap, man.
I'm telling you, man, a lot of this come because we were poor, man.
A lot of black people.
A lot of white people, too.
Shit, I know a lot of poor white people that grew up on grape Kool-Aid.
Brother, if you ain't ever had a Kool-Aid sandwich, don't talk to me about it.
Don't talk to me, man.
If you're not dipping your bread in the Kool-Aid, we can't even talk.
Yeah, or you take the Kool-Aid powder, put it on a piece of bread, fold it in half, and that's your lunch for today.
Absolutely, that's right.
Alright, so I've had my fair share of Kool-Aid sandwiches as a kid.
Alright, so, now Jerome, we had a conversation last night, and I want to see if you want to touch on this today.
I told you about, now folks, I got a buddy from Compton, California.
And my buddy from Compton, I've known him for 25 years, educated me on the whole black activist thing.
People like Sean King and Colin Kaepernick and how they are mostly light-skinned black people.
Jerome, we had this conversation last night.
I'm going to let you run with this if you want to run with this and give our viewers an education.
Well, growing up, you know, historically, dark-skinned people, we don't trust the light-skinned people.
We call them the light-skins, right?
You know, we call them high-yellow and light-skins.
You can't trust the light-skins.
And it goes back to slavery days.
You know, the lighter-skinned black folk or the lighter-skinned slaves, they would be the house Negroes.
They're the ones that's in the house.
They're the ones serving the master.
They're the ones that get to sleep in the house.
They got the best clothes, eat the best foods.
And so they resented the field Negroes, and they're the ones that would tell on the field Negroes to the master if the field Negroes were getting out of line.
And so it became a resentment and a hate thing between the dark-skinned slaves and the light-skinned slaves.
And that just evolved over time all the way Through the centuries and through the decades that you can't trust the light-skinned Negroes.
So why is it people like Sean King and Colin Kaepernick seem to stand up and hold the banner for the entire black race in America when they're not even fully black, if I'm correct in saying that?
Right.
Well, Sean King is a white guy pretending black and Colin Kaepernick is mixed.
But, you know, overall, you know, they want to be accepted because they're not accepted.
They're not accepted by the white people and they're not accepted by the dark-skinned Negroes.
And so what they're trying to do is be accepted by the dark-skinned Negroes.
So if they, you know, hold their fist up and, you know, they're wearing the afros because Colin Kaepernick grew up a white boy, basically.
He was adopted by a white family.
Yeah.
So he grew up white.
And Sean King is a white dude pretending to be black.
Let's just clear that up.
He's not even a black dude.
And so a lot of these people, they want to be accepted by a group.
So if you come to one's cause, if you seem like you're for the plight of a certain people, Then you'll be accepted.
So, did I lose you, Jerome, or are you still there?
I don't know.
Did you lose me?
No, I lost you for a second there, but you're good.
We're back.
Alright, yeah.
And I told you, Jerome, you know, my buddy from Compton I played football with years ago.
We've been tight, you know?
And I just flat out asked him.
I said, listen, not trying to be offensive or if anything I say crosses the line, stop me.
But as a friend, like, I've got questions.
And I know, like, I really want your perspective because you live that life, man.
Like, I may be a lot of things in life.
But I'm not a black guy.
So I wouldn't know what a black guy's perspective on things is.
And I don't want to pretend that I do know.
So give me your perspective.
Answer my questions.
So I can be more informed.
And Jerome, I think the whole...
And I think this was a great segment.
The whole thing that we need to do is that the left keeps pushing and pushing and pushing a very divisive rhetoric, okay?
And as far as I'm concerned, yes, there are incidents of racism that occur in this country.
And yes, those incidents do occur on a daily basis.
But what the left is pushing is a narrative that everything is racist.
And what that does is that overshadows the true racism that is still happening in America.
What are your thoughts on that?
You know, Penny, my thoughts on that is that, you know, I know more black racists than I do white racists.
I know more black people that don't like white people than more white people that don't like black people.
That's just a fact.
Now, if you go down, people are a product of their environment and are a product of their upbringing.
It's all about the way that you were brought up.
Okay, if you live in the hood and you don't know anything, but, you know, someone telling you that, you know, you're being kept down because of the white man, you know, because the man is keeping me down, the man is keeping me down.
I heard that so many times growing up, you know, from cousins and other black people, you know, the man is keeping me down.
You know, I'm like, what man?
You know?
You know, who's the man keeping you down?
You know, because you see poor white people down there with the poor black people.
So who's keeping the poor white dude down?
You know, is the man keeping him down too?
So it's all about the way you think, man.
A lot of this is listening to this bullshit from these race baiters because it sells.
Right now, you know, back, there's more, I would say, Visual.
And I say visual because it's not actual.
Visual racism in America because it sells.
Okay?
Victimization sells.
And so a lot of these race baiters, like the Al Sharpe, like the Sheila Jackson Lees, like the Jesse Jacksons, like the Kendi's, you know, that's writing, you know, the CRT stuff.
A lot of it is because it's making money.
It sells.
You find...
Why is the view of these women on TV? Because they sell...
Why is Whoopi Goldberg still on TV? Because she sells race.
It sells money.
Now, all of this is about money.
You know, before we had the technology, before everyone had TVs and stuff, right?
You didn't see a lot of this racism.
No.
You know, you didn't at all.
And a lot of people haven't experienced racism in this country.
You know, if you ask the majority of the black people, have you ever really experienced racism?
They'll probably tell you no, right?
But if you look at the TV, if you listen at the Democrats, you think, man, it's all over.
But if you go into these black cities and these black neighborhoods, because, you know, like I said, I went for where they are, right?
I go to where these people are.
And I ask them, this is one of the things that I ask.
Who runs your cities?
Who's your mayor?
Who's your city councilman?
Who's your police chief?
Who's your police chief?
And if you look at these black cities inside, like Philly, Chicago, you got Baltimore, you got all of these black, East St.
Louis.
These cities that these people are complaining about are in the races.
So how in the hell can you claim racism in these cities when the entire city is ran by black people?
Your whole city council is black.
All your upper level people are black.
So it's just the brainwashing.
A lot of people have been brainwashed.
A lot of people have this cognitive dissonance.
They have this Stockholm Syndrome.
And that's just what they know because that's the environment.
That's all they've been fed.
If you are a baby and you listen to nothing but classical music your entire life, you may end up being a classical pianist, but you're going to love classical music, right?
So if this is all you listen to, if this is all you hear your entire life, that's going to be what you believe.
Makes total sense.
And again, you know, I want to talk about the whole systemic racism that the left pushes, that, you know, all these places, like you mentioned, Baltimore, Chicago, Philly, oh, it's all systemic racism.
Okay, Black City Council, Black Police Chief, Black Mayor, Black DA, please tell me again how it's systemic racism.
And you're absolutely right.
The whole racism issue sells.
It makes money.
That is not truly what's happening in everyday America.
What you hear coming out of politicians' mouths and activists and race baiters and people like Louis Farrakhan is not America.
It's not the America I grew up in.
I know it's not the America you grew up in.
No, not at all.
You know, in listening to, you know, people like Malcolm X, Malcolm X told us that the worst person for a black American is a white liberal.
And he was assassinated three weeks later.
You know, he tells me, be aware of the white liberal.
And when you look at it, Black people tend not to, let's say, own a lot of things, right?
So who's running the show?
If you look at these organizations like BLM, there was a white dude running the show.
A white liberal actually was the founder of BLM, but they put a black face on it to try to make it look like blackface, right?
They were trying to make it look like it was a black organization.
When you look deeper, Into these organizations.
We look deep into who's pushing these things.
You're going to find a white liberal a lot of the times running the show.
Why?
Because they have the money.
They have the wherewithal to do it.
They have, and most of these people are college graduates.
They're very intelligent.
They have the education.
And so they use people in order to basically do their dirty work.
You know, it's the face.
Because here, I'll tell a quick story real quick about the face.
You know, because there is some racism.
You know, when I lived in San Diego, California, I owned a music management and production company.
I had seven bands under my management.
And so we would go all the way up and down the coast of California playing these groups, right?
So I went in.
There was this place called Croches in San Diego.
I took my group, and it was a jazz band.
It was a black jazz band.
I took them in.
No, actually, it was an R&B group.
I took them in.
You know, I spoke with the lady.
And she was like, no, we're not taking any more bands.
We're not taking any more groups.
And they were very, very good, right?
They had albums.
And so I said, okay, fine.
Well, I had my face.
What I called her my face.
Her name was Cheryl Peters.
She was my face.
Beautiful white lady, right?
Blonde, blue-eyed.
She was my face.
So I had Cheryl two weeks later to take the demo tape back to Croce's and tell Ingrid, her name was Ingrid, tell Ingrid that you're the new manager of the group.
And you want them to, you know, book their coaches.
So she went in, and right away, Ingrid booked the group because of music.
And, you know, because we made money all up and down the city.
And they booked the group, and they was going to sign the contract, right?
And so, but Cheryl was like, well, I don't sign the contract.
My boss actually signs the contract, so he'll be in later today to sign the contract.
She's like, okay, fine, perfect.
So when I walk in there, the lady's face almost fell off.
But that's the type of thing that happens in the real world today.
A lot of white liberals use black people to put a face on it to make it seem like it's a black thing and it's really not a black thing.
Jerome, they didn't want you to be the jazz music industry's Suge Knight.
I think that's what happened there.
We're on San Diego Music Awards, the best jazz band, best blues band, best R&B band.
And, you know, I had it going on back in the day, man.
Yeah, yeah.
Jerome, I'll tell you what, man.
I don't know about you.
I enjoy doing this segment.
And do you think we should do something like this once a week?
I think so.
You know, I think it would be a good thing.
You know, I'm not the, you know...
I'm not the Uncle Tom that Black folks think I am, right?
You know, like I say, I'm from the hood.
I'm from the streets.
You know, I understand the communities, white communities, Black communities.
You know, and I think it's good because we need to have these conversations.
We need to have these race talks because, like you say, a lot of white people really just want to know.
And I know a lot of white people.
They're, you know, smartasses, you know, just like...
Just like black people know about the chicken.
Like I say, man, I sit down and eat a bucket of chicken with your ass any day, Teddy, and I know we both have a good time.
Greasy fingers and greasy mouths.
I get the big piece of chicken, though, man.
I get the big piece of chicken.
That's all I want is the big piece of chicken.
Here's the thing, man.
We need to start bringing humor back into these conversations, okay?
How black people say, White people can't dance.
You're right!
White people can't dance.
White people can't jump.
A couple likes it.
There's an exception.
They made a movie, White Men Can't Jump.
You know what I mean?
But you know what?
That was back in the day when Not everybody got offended by every little thing because so-and-so said you should be offended or this news outlet said you should be offended.
It's back when people could have conversations with people and not worry about what the mainstream media or these whack jobs on the left had to say.
And I don't care, bro.
They're going to hit me.
They're going to hit me for this segment.
I don't care.
Bring it.
I look forward to it.
Thank you very Well, bring it.
I guess they'll hit me, too.
I guess they'll bring out the Uncle Toms and the Uncle Remuses and all that stuff about me, but I don't give a shit about that.
I care less about what they think about me because I'm successful.
I retired at 44.
I have a son that's a doctor, a son that's an HVAC tech, and a son that's a musical theater performer.
Okay.
You know, we broke in my family and my wife's an RN. And I'm the only person in my family, in my immediate family, that's ever graduated college.
So you can break the stereotypes.
You can break whatever, you know, bonds or brands that you think that you have.
You know, because it's just a mindset.
It's the way you think, you know, and everybody can break their chains.
Everybody can break their mind chains and not get caught up.
If you just listen to the right people, do the right thing.
And here's the thing.
This is for you white people and black people that may be listening to this, even though there may only be one or two black people.
This is, you know, but, you know, here's the thing, right?
You can do anything you want to do.
You can do anything you want to do.
You put your mind to it and don't listen to anybody.
You just keep it moving and you just believe in yourself.
Not listen to the nonsense.
Not listen to the noise because there's a bunch of noise out there.
It's from the right side and the left side.
It is.
Jerome, it's Everybody's been given an out because it's the victimhood mentality.
Okay?
Well, I can't get to where I want to be because I'm black or because I'm a woman or because of this or because of that.
No, you can't get to where you want to be because of you.
Because of you, absolutely.
Stop.
People just need to stop with the victimhood mentality.
Stop it.
Stop it.
Okay?
Morgan Freeman said, You know, he was asked by...
It might have been Trevor Noah.
I'm not sure.
He was the guy on CNN. You know who I'm talking about?
No, no.
You're right.
The interview on CNN. Yeah, I believe it was Trevor Noah as well.
Yeah.
But he's like, hey, how do we fix the race issue in this country?
And Morgan Freeman's like, stop talking about it.
Stop talking about it.
Like, I... Racism doesn't exist for me.
And it's like, cool.
Great.
Somebody came out and said it.
Because we are all painted, especially white guys are all painted as...
Brother, here's the thing.
I've been called a racist redneck by the left who's never even sat down and had a conversation with me.
But as far as they know, I have an entire KKK garb, okay, in the toolbox of my truck, and I just go out and lynch black people on weekends for fun.
Like, the left thinks that's what I do.
They've never sat down.
They've never talked to me, okay?
They base it because I'm a 6'4", tattooed, bald, bearded, Abrasive white guy.
Okay?
And they're like, ooh, he's a guy we could paint that picture with.
And I get it.
I get it all the time.
And it's like, man, you don't know where I came from.
You don't know what I've done in life.
You don't know the experiences that I've had.
So for you to say that or even incline that, actually, there was a publication after I interviewed Paul Gozar on this show.
And the publication described me as Paul Gosar sat down with white supremacist Teddy Daniels.
Yeah, white supremacist.
Well, here it is.
And, you know, because of my platform that I was running on, right, and everything that I was saying, the Washington Post called me a white supremacist.
Yeah.
And they wrote it in the article.
And so I wrote the author of the article back.
And I said, well, the next time you call me a white supremacist, make sure you use my photo.
And I sent them the photo.
You know?
And so, you know, then the white supremacist stuff went out the window.
You know what it changed to?
The new face of the right-wing extremist.
Yep.
Yeah.
And brother, they did the same thing to Larry Elder when he was running in California.
So you don't even have to be white anymore.
To be a white supremacist, that's the amazing thing in this country.
No, you just have to be against the Democrat agenda.
And I'm not going to say the Black agenda, because it's not a Black agenda.
No, it's not.
You know, it's a Democrat agenda.
And a lot of people, a lot of Black people are just caught up in that agenda because of white liberals.
Yeah.
So, here's what I'm going to do, Jerome.
Folks, in the comments...
If you have a question that wasn't addressed, and also you can go to teddydaniels.tv and shoot me an email through the website.
That's where a lot of these came in.
I got messages on social media, Twitter, so on and so forth.
Ask a black guy.
And black folks, here's the thing.
You want to ask a white guy something?
Leave a question.
I'd be more than happy to answer it for you.
Okay?
Because I'm as redneck as they come.
Now, I'm cultured.
Okay?
When I say cultured, I mean...
I've been involved in things and done things in life with every single race, ethnic background, religion, so on and so forth.
It's not like I grew up in my trailer park and lived there for 40-some years.
I've traveled the world.
I've traveled the country.
That's what I consider cultured.
Jerome, brother, thank you so much for joining us today, man.
This was awesome.
Thank you.
Yeah, I'll give you a last word, but I want to have you back on next week for another segment.
No, we can do it every week, man.
It'd be good.
You know, like I say, we need to have the conversation.
You know, what I tell people to do, you know, get past your mailbox.
Go past your mailbox.
Get out in the world.
Go out and don't be scared to meet people.
Don't be scared to talk to people, okay?
Especially, you know, co-workers.
Ask them, you know, because people will be honest.
You know, like you say, Teddy, I think we're more cultured, as you would say, because we've traveled the world.
The more people that travel the world...
We'll see that the world is not racist.
You know, the world doesn't hate them or anything like that.
You know, if I can walk down Red Square in Moscow and be okay, you know, people can walk down the streets of America and be okay as well.
You're absolutely right, buddy.
Jerome, thanks for coming with us today.
Thank you, brother.
I appreciate you, brother.
All right.
Thank you, my man.
Folks, let me tell you.
If you weren't educated then, you should be now.
This race-baiting stuff that's been happening on the left for years needs to stop.
Jerome pretty much said it.
I took some notes here.
Yeah, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson.
Black Democrat politicians, race sells.
The color they see is green, and they're using black and white to do it.
Still got to find out about why black people get killed off first in horror movies.
Really got to check that out.
I found out, again, I did not notice that they don't ski or play ice hockey because normally they don't like black or cold weather.
Chicken is cheap.
They do not like Eminem.
What else did we find out?
Drum does like country music, which is kind of cool.
Okay?
And again, he broke it down for you on the black activists, the light-skinned ones like Sean King and Colin Kaepernick, on why they go out and do what they do.
Folks, before we wrap things up, let me tell you, I want to talk to you about Four Patriots.
Folks, number four, patriots.com.

You know, there's a natural disaster.
The grocery store shelves go empty.
You know, you can still feed your family.
And folks, you know what?
I'm not going to lie.
I take a little bit of that stuff.
I put it in my rucksack, put it in my hunting bag, take hunting.
And now I actually just cut down on the water supply for my go bag because I also ordered from them a water filtration tube.
So you could drink from any source of water anywhere with this filtration tube.
Folks, I'm telling you, they have it all.
Okay?

Okay?
