[119.1s]SPEAKER_01:like okay cool but I did I did realize something while I was in Ghanaian I was like alright cool I had to accept that.

[153.9s]SPEAKER_01:No everything you have to check for every single thing. Foot on neck iron fist if you feel like I was talking to one of my colleagues about it I was like if I had to really really say it to you like yeah man I think you should go back and do it. Yeah I guess I'm saying like it must be some pretty bad traffic up there and it's full it's 403 I can believe that but it's up to you you want to try and go that way okay all right we can do it it says 30 minutes what's on your flight morning starts at five okay you'll be fine Monday at four o'clock it's more so people incoming rather than flights leaving okay so I tell people now there's something like look if you're going to Africa or West Africa from my understanding it's most of West Africa if you go to do if you go to do business then I I won't lie to you as a black person you will struggle the first time unless you're willing to accept this I'm not saying this is the this is the facts what I'm saying is you will feel like this and I'm like what do you mean I'm like if you don't feel like a how you think a slave master is you are probably going to get fucked over and it's not because it's because you just don't know better and I I hate like that was the worst thing like when I got done doing things I was like okay yeah I I can't give up my mom is sick I don't care about your mom I just don't and you don't say it to them but don't change business for like oh I'm so sorry having your moms I really am I want you they take advantage immediately but the part that I think is scary and I think it's hard for us as Americans go to black Americans go to do business is that you've wanted to be accepted your whole life and then you go over there you find out like first thing I found out in college but racism is not a hate system racism is a self-preservation system it's I want all the resources to go to my race it's funny when I talked to most Africans that come here racism isn't really a problem for them because they're like well yeah we and that's why I realized I was like you are already used to being racist yourself you're like I'm used to like you ain't you ain't my people well yeah but fuck you over and do all kinds of dark shit to you not not intentionally but I'm pretty sure you would do this to me in your place and what's funny is African Americans we really believe that everywhere else like they must somewhere must be accepting of me not even trying to be an advantage just be fair and you go to Africa and I'm like I have to tell y'all you will go over there and get fucked worse than you got fucked here don't play that game it's not even like hey man it's it's terrible it's like no just big facts big facts
