The Combat Jack Show Thread

Im glad I never listened to Schultz considering how much negativity I hear from you guys. I feel like if I listened to him for a couple minutes my whole mood would just flip
 
boy sucks the life out the room, the conversation and my patience

only person of any podcasts I listen to that I fast forward
 
Damn. I feel like I gotta brace myself for this tbi ep. It's going to be an interesting train ride home. :lol:
 
Listening now. 24 mins in and I'm not seeing necessarily seeing him being very far off base at this point.
 
I'm about an hour and 15 mins in and I don't see how you guys are bashing Schulz. Early on they weren't listening to what he was trying to say. Chris And Charlemagne are angry and Schulz is trying to throw around ideas about how this election went down.
 
Ctg should be frustrating you guys more than anything. He always speaks that "listen with the intent to understand and not the intent to reply" talk, but he wouldn't even le Schulz get a sentence out. :lol:

Schulz isn't wrong in this case. America didn't like Hillary, and her platform was heavily reliant on that "I'm not Trump" rhetoric. That's not implausible imo.
 
True. When Schulz was talking about border towns Charlemagne said "there are border towns in New York?" Smh
 
Schulz was pretty on point in this episode. Everything he said made sense for the most part.

He snapped when Charlemagne interrupted him later.

Chris and ctg were going off pure emotions.

The whole loudspeaker network been on that wave.
 
Schultz never gets to the point

he rambles until someone has to cut him off

and people lose sight of his points cause he adds 98% nonsense to every statement he makes

if people really think that Hilary lost cause lack of anything needs to just stop life

white america showed its desperation to maintain dominance with this election

typically they code their laws and speeches to hide the racists slants but most feel that the grip on power right now is so loose they forgone all the hidden agendas and went straight to "hey, this is our country and we're fully taking it back"

if this election doesn't show you the process and the sanctity of democracy is as solid as a yeezy hoodie then I don't know what to tell you

and anyway, schultz was originally saying how Hilary was loved and ctg was the one saying how people were slandering her heavily on social media

he was jumping all over different points only to contradict himself later

boy actually argued social media only saw Hilary

he argues for the sake of doing so, boy is in the tiniest bubble in america

Schulz opinion was cool until Chris started talking about how his daughters were disappointed and worried about their grandparents getting deportated. Schulz response was "well I don't feel bad for you if you're stupid enough to not google the deportation policy" :lol: wtf
 
Dude is just a person who loves to argue and not stick to the point. He claims Hilary didn't cater enough to the people that trump did, W/o acknowledging that the people she did Cater to Trump COMPLETELY tried to dismiss. If Trump showing a lack of care for black people but pandering to poor whites, how would it help Hilary to then go out and try and play both sides.

This election was one on ignorance & fear. ON BOTH SIDES. Trump que'd up the "We lost our country" crowd, hilary que'd up the "We must protect this country from those bullies" crowd & all in all it was clearly a bigger population of people who feared "their" country was being taken.

As far as Tax episode goes there were some good points... But i'm tired of people constantly comparing African Americans to any other immigrant group w/o adding in all the HUGE discrepancies between us and everyone else. All the examples of Koreatown, chinatown, the Jews etc etc don't take into account that America has been actively trying to dismantle black people since it's inception. They clearly didn't give a **** about other ethnic groups either, don't get me wrong. However the fear they have of us & the constant TARGET to stop anything we work together to build is Necessary.

You hit the nail on the head. Son lives to be a devils advocate it no matter what.
 
Hillary didn't do a good enough job with letting them know Trump isn't going to help you, he grew up rich. He inherited everything. He's from New York. He sends a lot of jobs overseas. We didn't get money until after Bill.

Trump is the same dude who said Amazon gets away with the amount of taxes they pay, but said you would be stupid to pay more than you should.

One thing Hillary has always had problem with is simplifying her message in layman's terms. The average American isn't very bright. They want the message spoonfed. That's why catch phrases like less taxes and less government catch on with them. That's rural america.

The news they watch does it focus on the negatives on Trump, or do they just listen to Fixed News talking points?

Even during the debates I was telling people that people look at it from a biased side. They don't really listen. It goes both ways. Hillary starts talking and it sounds like Charlie Brown's teacher. She's not engaging or charismatic and is like a teacher you don't like.

I think Schulz trolls, because it's worked for Charlagne, and he's gotten a reasonable amount of popularity from it. I notice even Vlad is using him now or rather they're using each other.
 
Is the brilliant idiots ep BEFORE or AFTER the election?

I listened to the first 2 - 3 min of it and they said that they taped on Tuesday [emoji]128529[/emoji]

I do agree with you on Hilary's lack of Charisma & people not being interested in her, but the TWO places Trump really hit were poor whites & upper middle class, college educated white people. So while the percentage of the poor probably didn't know much about trumps policy they agreed with his rhetoric. The upper middle class/college crowd knows Trumps history and should have enough sense to know that he has constantly violated the American system.

However all that meant absolutely nothing to them because they agreed with Trumps rhetoric & hate. Didn't matter if he ain't have a plan, didn't matter if ALL proof showed that trump is the exact opposite of what he ran on. The fact that he wanted immigrants out, that he belittles women, that he doesn't care for black people, Islamophobia etc etc gave them hope that they would again be in full power. This is a white supremacist country and they wanted it in FULL, not working in the shadows but flat out in your face White nationalism.

I actually listened to it twice, because I wanted to truly grasp what Kenneth was proposing. Wrote down the points I thought were essential. It's easy to complain, and most of the people at the forefront of the black community (that I can think of) seem to do a lot of complaining and very little problem solving. It's refreshing to hear someone advocate plans of action. I actually plan on emailing dude in hopes of getting a response. Hopefully he can expound on a few points. The only thing I disagree with is the idea of our place in the system. Yes, we don't have a permanent place in it, and we need to develop our own, but I do believe that can only be done by teaching our people about what is currently in place, pointing out the flaws, and then using our collective educated minds to build a new system within the system (since I was told that a massive relocation is implausible at this point :rolleyes :lol:). Hopefully dude writes back.

Combat Jack is a pain to listen to at times, but I agree that we need to gain ownership in our communities.

all solid points he made

combat is super annoying, "lemme talk lemme talk"

my guy, you're the only one talking

but the last point you have written id say it's more of re-evaluating who you seek validation from outside of getting it within

combat was super emotional which is understandable but made it a super tough listen without me being frustrated

Dude is accessible as hell on Twitter/IG so i would expect him to respond.

I personally like all those ideas & i think the easiest way to do that is to funnel money into schools/programs like the harlem childrens Zone & Diddy's charter school. I don't know if there's regulations on things like that but that would enhance this next generations ability by alot.

For years if the black community wanted to send their children to a "good" school it often cost a lot of money, sends them into an environment where they aren't around kids of their ethnicity & it promoted usual White nationalistic rhetoric.

Imagine the impact it would have on the community if your child could still get an excellent education, learn a curriculum tailor made for those coming from poor communities, and establishing a sense of comradery amongst your black/hispanic children all while being placed in a proper educational setting.

If this is instilled from young many people will go into College/work force with the confidence and will to build up eachother rather then try to assimilate into White americas ways. Example if i had the money to do it, i would fund the college experience of lets say a group of black kids who wanted to become lawyers. Send them to the same law school & allow them the opportunity to grow in their field as a team. Once we get into occupation such as Lawyers, doctors, Finance etc etc it seems as if blacks are EXTREMELY divided just based off sheer numbers. Keeping them together allows for them to not wanna join someone else's structure but rather start their own.
 
A blinkin you mentioned bringing in the college educated, thing is a college degree doesn't really mean much it's about willingness to change. I know so many college educated people are so caught up in believing in the education system that they won't think outside of it. I've been in the mindset of Kenneth Montgomery for as lon as I can remember but every time I try to rally people together the response is "so what are YOU going to do about it?".
 
Nah bro. I said:

"The only thing I disagree with is the idea of our place in the system. Yes, we don't have a permanent place in it, and we need to develop our own, but I do believe that can only be done by teaching our people about what is currently in place, pointing out the flaws, and then using our collective educated minds to build a new system within the system".

By collective education, I mean teachers, lawyers, repair men, laborers, economists, philosophers, trash men, chefs, doctors, etc. All who have an understanding of their profession, the world, can contribute to creating something for us.

They really harped on this idea of reevaluating who we seek validation from. If we did things for the. Ethernet of our community as opposed for this pipe dream of inclusion, things could change vastly.

And I think this time could be so much different than the days of Red Summers, Black Wall Street, etc. because our people seem to be angry. For example: Take the misguidance of our kids murking one another at an alarming rate in Chicago and give them a purpose of protecting the community rather than tearing one another down. I don't believe killing us, or defeating our morale would be as easy this go around as it was in the days of segregation. Before it was forced upon us imagine how things could be if we chose to separate from the masses to protect our own the way the Hasidics, the Chinese, etc. do.

I think they also mentioned briefly that the black race has been feared for centuries because there's this idea that we are innately better. Whether it be for our physical, or intellectual prowess. While I don't agree with the fear that seems to be instilled in other races, perhaps it's time that we start looking at ourselves as different... as better than what we've allowed ourselves to believe of ourselves for the sake of inclusion.

I don't know, maybe I'm rambling at this point, but these past few days have found me wanting to come up with solutions moreso than complain.
