Innovations and Inspirations from Black Pioneers to Sports Enthusiasts

Feel the pulsating heart of history this Black History Month as I, Jaystone, bring you stories of triumph and innovation that define the African American experience. We kick things off by tipping our hats to the masterminds whose inventions are stitched into the fabric of everyday life, folks like Osborn Dorsey and Garrett Morgan, whose sheer ingenuity keeps our world turning safely and smoothly. Join me as we journey through a legacy of brilliance, from the doorstop to the traffic signal, and how these creations remind us of the indomitable spirit that surges through our veins.

We then wade into the waters of empowerment, where community heroes like Mike Epps pour their success right back into the neighborhoods that raised them. It's a conversation where the strength of our women shines as a beacon, guiding us in nurturing the next generation of resilient leaders. I share my own tales of faith and perseverance, affirming that when we couple belief with bold action, the chains of limitation start to break. As we look back on the strides made by civil rights juggernauts and reflect on the profound impact of having a black president, I'll remind you that our narratives are composed of more than just struggle – they're built on the bedrock of hope and progress.

Wrapping up, we switch lanes to the high-octane world of sports. Despite the sting of the Warriors' recent tumble, hope is far from lost, and anticipation for the Super Bowl is building up like a tidal wave of excitement. I offer a salute to the unwavering support of our Northern and Southern California fans and share in the collective breath-holding as we await the big game. As the episode draws to a close, I invite you all to join the conversation, share your thoughts, and keep the momentum of joy and positivity rolling. Because this month, and every month, we're not just reminiscing on history – we're actively making it.

I'm there for you if you want somebody to come out and she kick it. Chill, talk to your people's, have some fun, make some good laughs, make some good jokes, have a good vibe audience. Let me know, check this out. So today, we, we now Black history used to be, and I believe it was only Went for a day. They moved it for a day to a week, from a week to a month. So we have to understand this and it's so, so imperative that Black people period Know their work. We've had been told that we are Less than cattle. We have been half of pennies and been called boys and been called the inwards and been broke down and hit, beat, talked about or whatever mean have you, and as my Angela says, still our eyes? You know the same. Still I rise. You see the rising in these inventors. You see the rising in the people that came before you. You see the rising in Everything that we do now that we have to deal with and and do. Yes, you can look in the news and you can see the things that's going on to our black people. That is not right. But you can also see what's going on in the news to our black people and it is right and we're doing some good things. That and Last time than more the good things don't get put on the air. So let's make that a narrative. Let's try our best to make that a narrative. Let the good things come on air from us. Yes, we have great musicians, great sports players, great authors, great doctors, great lawyers, great singers, great musicians, great writers, and they are all African-american and I'm thankful for that. Now we're gonna go back and and and and check this out. I know is some things out there that you Really don't know, that who made this, this, this, this, who made this and who made that and why is it working like this? And you know, and some things you know. You might want to just say thank you. So let's go, let's drop into this who's who of the black history. We're gonna go to this first young man. He was 16 years old in 1848 Osborn Dorsey. Ah, you're like who's Osborn Dorsey? Osborn Dorsey is the reason you know how to open a door now with a door knob and he's the reason that you have a door. Stop, show you, when you moving, your stuff won't fly back and for your door Won't you have to hold it. Open it up? Nope, you kick that boom doorstop. That's who made those things, osborn Dorsey. He's the reason that you not opening your door with leather straps or tying a rope on it. Osborn Dorsey, let's go to Garrett Morgan. He's the reason you got to stop at a red light and a green light and if it's yellow, just go you. You go at the green, you stop at the red and if they hit that yellow they may speed up a little bit faster so you can get through the honest playing. If y'all try to take the written test, that yellow light means caution, slow down, but still goes through. Now, he's the reason for that. He's the reason because he's seen so many traffic Accidents and and then he you got to please stop. And then some people don't listen to the police when they hope go here, Stop, do this, go here, no. So he made that the red light, the green was the green light, the yellow light been a red light, and that's all this. Garrett Morrison, morgan. Now, what did he come with? The red light, green light, the game that we used to play. One red light, stop. Green light, red light, stop. Now let's go to your home security. We all Maybe got ADT, maybe have who else is out there ADT, lionsgate, yeah, lionsgate security. No, we may just have our personal security. We may have that AR-15 or we may have something else sitting in the corner waiting for it. Hopefully, none of that happens, but in our black history we had a young lady says you know what your houses need? Protection when you're not there. So let me sit down, think of something and come up with it and get it. Her name is Mary Van Brown. She came up with the first, first security system. Ah, what you can say about that? Very, very, very smart, very smart people, very smart individuals. You're coming with security system, something to lock a door when you're not there, or you push a button and it's like, wow, okay, that's pretty smart, pretty intuitive, you know. So now, this is the one a lot of people got to understand and check out. We have right now the reason you don't iron your clothes on the floor or on a table because of this lady, sir Boon. Sir Boon made the ironing board so you can fold it out. Get them right creases in real good. Because you know, if you you iron your shirt on the table, you might get some syrup stains in there. Somebody ain't wiped the table. You didn't wipe the table. You, in a rush, get that ironing board. You put it right on that. Get them great creases, good to go. So, sarah, thank you for the ironing board, garrett, thank you for the three way I mean the three light traffic system. Mary, thank you for the security system and my boy, osborne Dorsey, thank you for showing us Twisted Knives. Open the door, because now back in the day they used to have leather straps and those leather straps pop and guess what? That door would be heavy and it hurt because if it's falling you it's messed up, or they would drill a hole in your door and tie a rope in it. What kind of security is that? My guy came through, said let me put a door knob in here so y'all can open it and we can close it. See what we can do with that. So that's a good thing, a wonderful thing. I'm thankful so to so many many people that I'm thankful for so many people that sit there and thought of things. So many black inventors we got. Looking to music, black invention, looking to into sports, the first ever to do something, the first ever to do one thing or the first ever to do something else. Man, it's so many different things around here and I'm so thankful. Thank you for the Malcolm X, thank you for the Martin Luther King. Thank you for Harriet Tubman. Thank you for who else? Who else? We got out there, uh, malcolm X, uh, martin Luther King, we got Harriet Tubman. We got Rosa Park, uh, jesse, jesse Jackson. Hey, a lot of people talk bad about this man, but y'all don't understand some. Some of the things he did that was under. Everything is not always boom out in the open. Some people had to sit down and write papers and saw it. Mean, you know, everything is not auto out boom, no, no, I'm thankful for people like that. You know it's, it's not. Uh, I'm not gonna sit here and lie to you the things they went through. I don't think I could have did them. You can't sit in a, in a, in a place, and sit down and enjoy your dinner that you're paying for. Instead of you have somebody saying nigger, get out of here, you can't eat here. Oh, you got a sign that says white only, and then you say a sign that says color, or nigger, or uh negro or however, however many words that they labeled us as we went from uh, less than I think, less than we were property. At one point, you know, uh, we had to take the name of the person that owned us, you know, and and that's that's. That's crazy. What's the thing about? It is, now things are open and, yes, I'm not gonna say, oh, racism is gone, please. You've seen that already. Racism is still here. It has a new name, karen. It has a new name, but it's still the same old thing. It's still the same hatred. And I have to tell people this hatred is taught. It's not something that you're born with, because if a little black kid and a little white kid can get together and kick in and have fun and enjoy each other without their parents saying, stay away from that black boy, stay away from that white kid, no, that's why you know, it's taught. Racism is taught Love. It crushes all of this. My question is if racism or being or bigotry and all this other stupid stuff was not taught, got a question why is a black man or white women like each other? Why do black men like white women? Why do white women like black men? Man, you can find love anywhere. I'm just telling you. It ain't hard to find. It's just the thing about it. People don't wanna show it up and respect each other. That's the whole thing about it. It's hard. We've seen this in Minneapolis, the George Ford case. We've seen this when Trayvon Martin. We've seen this in Boston. We've seen this, like I said, in Minneapolis. We've seen this all over because of hatred, and I hate even saying this. Sometimes they and this is what I can say some people have the gumption or the know-how to start to rally, to make people all upset and sometimes, sometimes, we just need to stop and listen. Stop and listen, pay attention. Everybody's not after us. And I'm gonna tell my black people this stop hurting each other, stop hurting each other. We wanna go after somebody else. So if they're white or if they're another nation or whatever, when in our own neighborhood we're killing each other, in our own backyard, we're shooting each other. We're shooting kids. Over what these little kids gonna have even time to grow up? In Minneapolis I was looking online on one of my I think it was my brother's feed. It's a young lady, little young girl, a pretty beautiful young girl Got shot, killed. No one is out there processing for her. No one is out there looking for her. Why? Because it was a black man, a black lady, a black. Whatever they killed, it was black on black. Why? Well, I looked for somebody who was doing that no Long time ago. It was a letter that the KKK brought out and he said and they wrote in and said thank you, black man, for doing our job, for us Meaning. Thank you for killing yourselves, thank you for shooting each other, thank you for being in gangs, thank you for putting yourselves on drugs, thank you for all of those things that we don't have to do it. So, in all actuality, what I look at now, from the noose that they used to put around our neck and hang us and embarrass us or however they did it we're putting it around our own necks with drugs. We're putting it around our own necks and the gangs killing each other. We're putting it around our own necks by just honestly hurting each other. And can you really understand why we do this? I'll wait, tell me why. Because somebody stepped on your shoe these are my young people or somebody disrespected me. I got a question for you. What happened to a good conversation or a fight, not killing each other, not stabbing each other? I'm talking about something we both can walk away from. You disrespect me. Let's get in this ring, let's fight, let's, let's be, and after then let's shake hands and walk away from it and don't have to revisit it again. But my whole thing is the person that screams oh man, you a punk, you a this, you a that. That's the instigate on the sidelines. It was a video. It was a video a young man Two young men, was trying to fight and around him was surrounded with people. You already know what's going on. The deal, the cameras, cameras, cameras, cameras. One man came out, said hey man, stop, stop, stop, chill, look, look, look what's going on, look what's going on. And everybody was black, everybody was black, everybody was black. They said look, look, look. But he's pointing look, look, look, he's laughing at you. He's doing this, he's doing this, he's doing that. You mad, you upset, but they in here for entertainment. The person that's pushing the fight on the dude didn't even want to fight, but he's egging him on. Oh man, he done said this, he done said that. Why? Because somebody's entertainment. Come on now, people, my people, we can do better, I done just. These are just three or four people. I just named off four, five, six people I just named off. That was inner inner city that had this is an 18, isn't 1878, 1890s? That, bruh, you didn't know what was going on, you didn't know if you was going to live or you died. You know my grandmother was telling me about, about the clan walking, just driving through the neighborhood. If you're black you had to be in the house by sundown. Really you can't sit on your porch. Emmett Hill ah, young man I think he was from Chicago Went on down to think he St Louis Mississippi, somewhere around here. They say this is what I can say. They said he whistled at a white woman, which we found out on the woman's death bed was a lie. So since she continued with the story, some men gathered together in a pickup truck, went to this young man's house, snatched him out of the house, said we're just going to head to talk to him. That conversation ended up at his death. They found him in the Mississippi River. I believe Beat battered, swole up. You can always go to the papers or to internet and find out how he looked and everything. Because his mother, the strong black woman that she is, said the people need to see what they did to my baby. The people need to see what they did to my child. For what reason? Because a white woman lied and they would not. They took the words from a white woman and said hey, that's the truth. And kept the black man Because you're worth, you believe you're worth nothing. Get away, get away. And that's sad, that's truly honestly sad. It's you hear that the slave masters will take little babies and take them down to places and gators, or they did so horrific things to people. How can you as a person yourself do that to someone else? And now we ask why do people sometimes act like this? Because of they're still locked in that. They're still locked in that environment. And I can't. A lot of people say your environment makes you. That's to me I can say partly if you allow it to, if you allow your environment to make you, it will make you. If you are determined to get out of where you're from, to do better, listen to what I'm saying and to do better and to come back and to make where you came from better, you can do it. You can do it. You can do it. I look at you kill. Look at you kill on there. Brother was in the hood. He went back, started making houses, doing everything else. Look at, look at not Omar Epps, what's the name man? The comedian, mike Epps. Look at Mike Epps. He said every house he got evicted from. He went back and bought it and rehabbed his neighborhood to make his place better, to make the place in Indianapolis the place, make the place where he lived better. It's a black neighborhood and it's looking beautiful. Hey, I'm not asking you to redo the whole world, I'm just asking you to do your part. If every black person did they part in America, america would be a God dog on great place. Young man, put down the guns. Young man, stop fighting each other. Young man, come together. Young man, be young man. Young ladies, yeah, yeah, y'all got a big. And this is what I have to let you guys know. A woman has a big, huge role, big role. They're the carriers of life. See, this is how this is supposed to go man, woman, get together, marry, love each other, get a kid. The mother is the nurturer, the father teaches, protects whole night. But so often and I hate saying this so often, but I don't know if you can see it, men, I don't know if I can say they get scared or whatever they may have you, walk out, leave and leave the burden on a woman. Now, not saying a woman cannot raise a man, because my grandmother, my mother, raised me and I became a great person? I believe so, but what I am saying is it takes a man and a woman to raise a good, strong kid. I'm thankful to what my grandmother and my mother did for me, and there was two black, strong women that would bust my eyes anytime that I did anything wrong to make sure that, and she would tell me I'd rather get you right here than the police to get something and do something to take you. And it took me a long time to understand that. That that's love, that's something affection, that's something. She cares for me to get myself together. And I had to understand that and I had, and I'd run that down to my kid. And it's sad that you have to sit down with your kid, especially if he's a young man, and tell him the rules of driving. Not netbook, no, no, no, no, not that DMV book. That's not the rules that us we have to follow. The rules we have to follow goes by this if the police pulls you over, you comply, you do not argue, you do not fight, you do not move around too much, you keep your hands on the wheel so they can see you. Yes, sir, no sir, so you can make it back home Because, in all actuality, no matter what happens, they gonna come back home. It's just happening that they're doing time now for the things, the crimes that they're doing, that they did. Yes, this is black history and I love my black people and I love all people. All I'm saying is we can do better. At the age of 16, osborne Dorsey sat down and made a difference. We can do it. If he can do it at 16, we can do it. It comes a turning point in every man's life that you see what you're gonna become. You see what you have to do to make yourself become. We have dreams. The Bible says actions. I'm sorry, works without faith is dead and faith without works is dead. So that means you have to work and believe is gonna happen. Believe and work is gonna happen. Believe it and work to, to what you're gonna do, and work and also believe that is gonna happen. Put it in his hands Once again. I can truly tell you this and I and I'm gonna tell you this and I'm be honest and this is a God fearing Podcast man everybody who gets on here loves God. You know I love God. Be brought me from a matter matter matter long way, my brother and my sister's. It has been a A time it hasn't. I can truly say this. It hasn't been a time that he has not been there for me. Now, what I can say is I can truly say he may not come when you want him, but he's on time. Because we look for come on, come on, come on. And God looks at the timing. Your time is not, my time, you know, 30 years is. But what I would have gone, oh Jesus, what I, jesus, it's been a long time. Yeah, ain't long enough, you okay, because when you get it you go understand you, mmm, it took me some time to understand and then and I'm not gonna say a lot to you it's still taking me some time to understand that. But God is a wonderful, wonderful help. If you need help, call on God, call on Jesus. Yes, I'm putting this all together. I am excited because this is a month that we can show, just show off. You know, it was wonderful when, when the president was black and he was in there, I was like, wow, got a black president. That's a good thing, that's a cool thing, that's something to motivate, that's something to inspire, that's something to go after. You know he had a beautiful family. You know, black woman, black man, black kids in the White House. Whoo, first time ever, beautiful, now what it needs to be. I'm saying this and I I don't have a problem with saying it and a lot of people do, but I'm believing the next thing is gonna be a woman in the White House, it's gonna be a woman ruler, and I have no problem with that. Because of this, hopefully, hopefully, when she do do, when she do become in president, in office and everything, she don't be like the comedians ready that forget it all. But anyway, no, I'm, I'm just thankful, man. I am thankful for everything. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a black history month. Go out. If you're black, go out, so some. Show some love to another black person. If you're not black, still so some love to somebody black. And if you're white, show love to everybody black and they gonna show you love back.

Now we're going to Malcolm with sports.

Speaker 2: 32:29

Yo, what's up, man? We back at it again With the sports recap with up stone. I see you, man. We had the NFL starting off the final score 17 and 10, the chiefs with 17, the Ravens with 10. Lamar Jackson 20 for 37 272 yards. One touchdown, one interception, one fumble. Patrick, my home's 30 for 39 241 yards, one touchdown. In this game it was crazy. It was very intense, urgent game for the Ravens. Lamar Jackson legacy was on the line. Patrick, my home's had his way. You know, lettuce team, the victory. The Ravens didn't show up. Had a lot of the Ravens alumni show up for the game. A read to real sucks, those guys that really put in their work on that defense. The Ravens just didn't show up. If anybody thought the Ravens was gonna win this game, I really don't know. If you know sports, man. The Ravens just didn't have the defense or the offense equipped for the chiefs, and the playoffs is a whole different environment. I know you guys are tired of seeing Taylor Swift, but get used to her. You're gonna see her. Vegas with the Super Bowl man facing against a good old home team in the Bay. Yeah, 49ers, you already know we gonna get to their side. 49ers came with the W, basically try to Silence the Lions for good, and which they did. Dan Campbell came up short on fourth downs, went for. He was going for it all year, so I understand the man's madness, or whatever. He thought it would work. Kind of showed up late. Brock Purdy had a shaky game, showed up, solid at the end, a lot of scrumbling yards, put his guys in position to score. Christian McCaffrey always showing up, debo Samuels, the whole shebang. One thing to look for for the Super Bowl game Chase young. He has to show up. Man. If he does not show up, I'm really, you know, kind of scared and nervous for the 49ers because that ranked game serious, with Pachanko running all through these guys Not really Giving you know what and just running over guys still forming them, running it like he's mad at the world. So, yeah, just look out for that for this good Super Bowl series. These guys faced off at Super Bowl 50. Here we are four years later. Hopefully the 49ers can do it. No, jimmy G, no excuses, let's see what Kyle Shanahan has cooked up in the background and behind the scenes. Then we got the NBA man. We had the Warriors and the Lakers with a double overtime super crazy. And LeBron James and the Lakers. You know they always get all the calls, we're not gonna be biased. But at the same time, the efficiency rate for free throws for both teams. Lakers had tons of free throws Compared to the Warriors. Steph Curry finished with 46 points. Various frustrating seeing the Warriors take this loss, especially at home in the Bay. You already know how we get down, man. It's North cow, shout out to all my players out there. So Cal. But yeah, man, um, hopefully the Warriors don't throw this season away. We can get some trades before the deadline, february the eighth. But yeah, man, that's the wrap up for the sports man. Back to you stone.
