FAIR USE

A big part of the problem of the interactions that we have are the things that are just accepted as the norm the Casual type of interactions that pretty much Define the entire framework of where we’re coming from because there has pretty much never been any accountability for these

Actions the norm has gotten out of control it’s getting it’s gotten to a point to where we have numbed ourselves to blatant habitual Lin stepping blatant ignorance blatant disrespect overt ignorance just when you actually put this information toward words it really does shine a light on how problematic

All of these things are once again thank you to the people who have been sending support sharing their information sharing their perspectives I appreciate it because this is something that needs to be done this is a huge chasm in our consciousness of just individually and on a larger scale knowing this is a

Conversation that goes beyond well beyond the dis off Community but since this is a self-contained environment that can be focused upon I think it should be and other people also think the same way that this is something that needs to be addressed because not like other sports that are out there our

Interactions with each other are very much intertwined so not many sports are out there allowing you to make judgment calls on other players and this is where if their judgments are skewed against you in a particular way that’s going to affect the sport in general because some people

Do not ignite knowledge the skewing of things against not only against us but many times in other people’s favor that’s two things two completely separate things that not only need to be acknowledged but need to be addressed and honestly that’s the smart smallest part of these conversations and these

Interactions because it’s the Casual ongoing racism the casual ongoing ignorance that we get that is on a regular basis that is the most effective form of with us in many different for lack of better words not only does this affect us negatively but in many different ways it affects other

People if you want to see it positively see it as energy vampires these individuals feed off of keeping you down keeping you in your place maintaining their Authority so that’s that there another example of how this works talking over you maintains their Authority in the situation not only in

The situation but their authority over you Authority and control is all part of this interaction so every opportunity that presents itself in the sport even in regular life if you’re around if you’re in a group or if you’re around other people any kind of interaction any kind of

Setting is an opportunity to take advantage of the moment take advantage of their opportunity to maintain for lack of a better term than mind controls because that’s really what’s happening think of it as like gaslighters they have to continue or Liars in general they have to continue the LIE expand

Upon the lie you’re less than is a lie that needs to be expanded upon their dominance their Authority their control over you over everything needs to be maintained it’s a lie their power is a lie in the nation in this country the lies in your education see their lies

Are backed by the government backed by an authority they have been empowered by the systems of authority the superpower of the world empowered by that mentality and on every scale to to not see that to not see that that is going to exist inside of the individuals after it’s

Been coddled and grown with the most organic of Elements and Minerals and nutrients for so many centuries to think that that’s not going going to affect everybody but especially the people who benefit from that and the people who are being attacked by that to think that

That doesn’t exist is a severe a a very severe it’s a mental damage you are brain damaged to think that none of this is going to affect everybody anybody so deflecting from it not talking about feeling bad about it to play the victim when somebody brings it up is all part

Of the control measure so I don’t want to go too far off into that aspect of it because that’s pretty much the framework across the board outside of disc golf but I needed to reiterate that because the stories that I’m going to share the perspectives that I’m going to share

Right now in reference to that story story need to need to have somewhere to stand because a lot of people don’t they don’t see that a lot of people think that me bringing any of this up is an overreaction not even acknowledging that they have a reaction to this

Subconsciously they have a reaction to this information unconsciously so there are going to be knee-jerk responses to that which makes them uncomfortable and since they all the cards are dealt towards their favor then you’re going to be the one who’s going to be hit by whatever needs to be out there in order

To deflect from the conversation from the situation so I’m going to share a couple examples of a few examples of things that are accepted in the community that are unacceptable in any community in any capacity but these are things that are accepted that and that we experience that people might not know about

Because like I was just texting with a friend of mine to help to have him help me remember a situation that I was in when we were playing in Walden at one point because it became an ongoing joke but when it becomes an ongoing joke then sometimes you re don’t remember the

Whole story and a lot of the times like I was telling another friend we have to put this stuff on the Shelf we have to forget about it because it’s too much to carry you can’t remember all this stuff to the depths because it’s just too

Heavy it’s kind of like I tell people about my other YouTube channel I can’t have any attachments to this information because it will weigh me down so it has to be just like this is how it happens this is what it is let me just let this go

And we have to do that individually every single day and when you’re in a community that forces you to do that you have to do it even when you’re going to your space of Solace when you’re going to like we go to play disc golf to get away from the so even when

We’re going to go get away from it we’re accepting the fact that we’re diving right back into a community that is full of the other people don’t see that the mainstream Norm is to see the dis Golf Community the dis golf world as the best

Community in the world like I said that mentality is relative it’s relative to garbage so yeah compared to garbage communities or no Community it’s a really good group a really cool I mean not to take away there’s it’s solid but once you start digging into what kind of

Material builds up that solid Community then you start to see another picture that is not painted it’s not colored in because we keep that framework inside of us we don’t share it with people because it’s hard enough it’s heavy enough to share it with ourselves it’s just we

Don’t want to deal with it because when you look at it then you start to see a part of yourself that is not necessarily being around situations like that pulls a part of you out out that we don’t like to be pulled out and that’s part of the interaction we

Are triggered on purpose and I that’ll segue into this story I’ll share right now we’re we’re triggered on purpose because a part of their defense mechanism is to make you the bad guy so even if you’re not saying anything that’s aggressive they will take it as a slight or some kind of

Aggressive nature in order to play the victim we already saw examples of this with the Leonard situation none of this is to be the aggressor so nobody reacting should be the victim in fact the information that is shared is shared from a perspective of being victimized to play the victim when in a

Situation where somebody is explaining how they have been victimized is some of the worst that you could do but this is the norm which is why that individual was so comfortable with playing that role and projecting that onto us so one day A friend of mine was playing

At Walden which is in Walnut Creek which is a Suburban woff is more well-off than most areas uh in the East Bay almost to the valley just kind of out there in the over over the little Mountains from Oakland and we just have to be on our

Guard we have to be ready we know we’re going to that space we know some could go down we we’re going to the valley we know some can go down we’re going wherever we we we prepare ourselves for it even when we’re in other places that are comfortable we

Have to prepare for this so I’ll just read this off and try to go off of it because I asked my friend that I was with to share his perspective on it because like I said we we have to forget about this stuff because it’s just too

Much so he says I hit about a 40 foot putt for birdie he screamed hell yeah there were two white dudes walking by and one yelled damn you’re a real Tiger Woods and I said I bet you wouldn’t have said that if I wasn’t black the dude got

Angry and said I was just trying to compliment you chill out we walked away and at that point I I told him that it could have been anybody else and that he only said that because I’m black and then he says that I went into start explaining to him

How people talk down to us and minimize our successes or after to water it down and don’t realize that they’re being condescending when they really are um so that’s one example of or one part of an example of how these things happen so quickly really quickly Le and it’s so

Easy to just dismiss and say that was nothing it was it was nothing but you have to understand this is an ongoing thing there’s a theme here there’s there’s reasons why these things happen there’s undertones there’s projection there’s all kinds of in there a psychologist would go crazy breaking this

Down especially when they see this as happening as a theme someone where else so another friend of mine shared the exact same storyline and he shared this right when this was going to be my next topic anyway but he shared this without knowing I was even going to go into this

And it’s the same story and I’ll just go on reading what he was saying in reference to how this is alive and well and is seen as a non-issue by people who don’t see it projected but they can’t see it and the thing that makes us so

up is that these kind of interactions happen like I said so quickly but in your own inner circles they’re so quick and the authority like the complexion for protection or the authority the complexion for authority over time has pushed unacceptable things into an accept acceptable mentality and that

Norm isn’t seen by people who project and it’s seen only through a veil a lot of the times by us because we get bombarded by it so much that like you get callous to it you you’re done you’re you don’t want to you don’t you see it

So much you don’t want to see it anymore so you downplay when you do see it because you don’t want it to affect you and like I had forgotten that story I had forgotten that part of the story where I actually reacted to that dude and said hey like what the is this

Tiger tiger wood reference why are you saying this like what what where is this coming from like I had forgotten that I had gone there with that guy but he must have just caught me in that right moment sometimes you catch me and sometimes you don’t but he caught me

Where I had time I mean I I was ready so so yeah what what happens is that this becomes an acceptable thing and it turns into your compliments are so backhanded so frequently that any compliment that you get is a backhanded compl compliment and over time those backhanded

Compliments don’t get seen as backhanded anymore because they’re so frequent so the only compliment that you could get when you’re that good or when you’re a person that in many cases demands recognition for whatever it is that you’re doing when backhanded compliments happen so much the backhanded compliment

Becomes the norm so comparing you to Tiger Woods is a backhanded compliment that dismisses you downgrades you and also relegates you to only being good because you’re of a good stock you’re you’re you’re of the Tiger Woods stock you got those good strong legs and those that that strong athletic

Ability all that old racist that they wrote in those Eugenics books that they try to hide and sweep under the rug all that is still existing alive and well in these backhanded compliments in the interactions in the diff Disc Golf Community here we are in 2024 it’s

Not seen that way because the norm the mainstream Norm with these intellectually dense Norms that are out there you can’t even bring up this perspective because largely people are not smart enough from one angle to be able to analyze and address and even uh entertain that perspective that

Information but before even that happens people are too emotional so their emotional triggers get triggered as a defense mechanism when you bring it up to block you and to protect them it’s it’s a it’s a two-way street you have to be dealt with and they have to be

Protected so the systems are designed to protect them the systems are designed inside of them to defend themselves against you and if you say anything about it then you are automatic Ally the bad guy you’re the aggressor you’re making them feel uncomfortable you’re like wait but I just brought up a

Situation where I’m telling you about how not just me but we as a people are uncomfortable yeah but you’re making us uncomfortable by saying that so that is a mere image of what they were talking about in that Florida with that whole critical race Theory white people sensitive emotional white people were

Uncomfortable because the truth of the story was being shared so they removed it from the Nar from the from the information stream in order to cater to those who matter you do not matter your truth does not matter your perspective does not matter your feelings don’t matter the only thing that matters is

Protecting the people who populate the communities that need to matter because you don’t need to matter you you don’t even exist you barely you’re not even human yet you they haven’t even acknowledged your Humanity because they haven’t acknowledged the fact that they dehumanized you and are still dehumanizing dehumanizing you you are

Not even human yet they’re existing as evolved beings they’re on the whole polar opposite side of the Spectrum in society they are the people who give you your space X who give you your space programs who go to the Moon who go to the Mars who go to all the links to give

You technology and take carry you through the Health Care System you know all that shit’s but since they get something from it it needs to be seen as real so they won’t even acknowledge things that are lies in society in order to protect their own well-be so maintaining your less than

Val value in society as a human being is critical to their stance and their Authority their control their dominance over you and everything in society so my friend who shared this story about how we are compared to Tiger Woods cuz it happens all the time it’s not even worth talking about one example

I just shared that one example because that was a known thing to happen it’s happened more than once just for me you know it’s happened more than once for other people but what we need to do is to analyze get out of our emotions and analyze how this works so it can

Actually be dealt with because until you start dealing with the causes the cancer of this the causes of the cancer you’re going to only be dealing with the symptoms so I am attempting to put out there the information that describes the cancer that we’re dealing with so people

Stop stop emotionally reacting to the symptoms in order to protect themselves and demonize us because we can’t get out of the symptom phase because people want to stay in there playing the victim against us so they can maintain how they look how they feel their equilibrium in their happy go-lucky world but we’re

Telling you it’s never been a happy go-lucky world you’re living in the make America make disc golf great again mentality it’s the same when has disc golf ever been great see this is my whole point when people when I came into this and started talking about wait a

Second the sport hasn’t even been discovered yet what do you talking about this is the Golden Age I heard Nate ston say this when he was talking to Jeremy coing and Paul ulber all that they they were on their high horse about how this is the Golden

Age of discar we witnessing the Golden Age of disc golf is this is get the out of here that was infuriating because all I could see is some same ass big germ and and uh Nate ston and Paul ebery back in the times when Babe Ruth was playing talking

About this is the Golden Age of baseball we are are you serious it’s the same and you can’t tell them any other one you say something about that you’re done so this is what I’m talking about keeping you down keeps them up maintaining you your position in society maintains their position over you

Because they are only in that position of holier than thou higher than thou because they have a position over you it’s not because they’ve achieved anything we already know that everything that they so-called achieved has been through criminal acts through lies they didn’t do everything that they’re saying what they have done has

Been done by genocide murder destruction and just complete ignorance of the people so nothing has been earned so back to it you make a good shot you do something good whatever it is it needs to be brought down you need to be brought down now now if you do something

It’s not because you as a person are good you are good because you are like other black people who are good hence Tiger Woods on top of that in the Tiger Woods discussion they only know Tiger Woods how many other black so-called black golfers out there paved the way

And started were amazing that they don’t know about but because it’s a mainstream thing to do that to talk about that to project that on to you that is what they go to that’s what they resort to so overly mentioning Tiger Woods is another way to dismiss and downplay all the

Other people who have paved the way who have been successful so it might seem like they’re elevating you but no they’re elevating the idea of one person to bring you down but also to bring down the reality of all the other people who hold that space

It’s not just Tiger Woods and in and in this example you could see how intricate this is this is not a little thing it’s very complex and I’m sure people in the future are going to start really breaking this stuff down as of right now we’re still in the emotional phase

People can’t even get out of the EM they can’t even emotionally receive this information again in their sport Tiger Woods is known for integrating first being like getting in there as as a child and then working his way up and then becoming the best in their world so when they tell you you’re

Tiger Woods they’re saying you’re Tiger Woods in my world I still own golf I am that guy we are those people you’re only that one little guy in my World disc golf is their golf is their country club and it’s pretty ironic it’s very telling when they do like that and once

Again when you’re in their world you’re a visitor you don’t belong here you’re an outsider you’re different than us we make up the rest of the sport that is amazing all the other golfers in this sport we can’t call them tiger Woods cuz they don’t fit that criteria you do so

And not only that he’s one of the best golfers in he’s the best golfer in the world I’m giving you the biggest compliment in the world how dare you take this as not a compliment what’s wrong with you now they’re the victim again I just called you Tiger

Woods I could I might as well have just called you Michael Jordan do you know who Michael Jordan is Michael Jordan is the best basketball player there ever was how how could you take a compliment negatively I’m beside myself this is this is absurd it’s not a compliment it’s a

Control mechanism and so much more and as and as my friend recognized do you ever see or hear any disc offer being compared to a white ball golfer ever you you ever hear somebody say holy Richard you threw the hell out of that disc you’re like the John Daly of disc

Off no because there’s something else there there’s a reason but you know we always get compared to Tiger Wood so that’s that’s a whole that’s a whole thing right there that’s the proof they might have one two or three times compared a disc golfer to a ball golfer

But we’re talking about every single time you are compared to Tiger Woods why because you’re just black that’s it the the up thing that I see is that how can these individuals be so outside of themselves that they don’t see that that’s wrong how could you generate that this

Is come from somebody who took a a vow signs for a whole year I stopped speaking so I know the the mechanisms that go into speaking first you have to think about it then you have to filter it then you have to approve it for yourself then before you approve it or

Before you say it you have to generate the muscles in your in your body to create a vibration of a word to make up that sentence talking about t you see how many steps go into Act actually saying something so all of those steps were approved before they actually said the

Tiger Woods com comment so-called compliment the approval the lack of accountability self-accountability in that these programs are running wild they are running so wild these people cannot stop themselves from saying this from doing this that’s how far it is so like when I heard that guy

Because it’ been more I had been playing that long I had heard that more than a few times at that point that was a couple years ago I think I just had enough I was done with it and this comes after this Segways into what I wanted to

Talk about next this comes in after I had already been listening to How disc golfers label things so one good example is is this idea of doing the wrong thing so the most obvious example throwing a disc into the wrong basket in the Disc Golf Community they call it a black

Ace we know as soon as I heard that cuz I did it or I saw I don’t know if somebody else did it or I did it and then they all of a sudden call it a black a I think maybe I had just heard

What they call it cuz it almost went in and I was like wait a second my little antennas went up and I was like oh okay is that how it is all right well I’ll just leave it because we know in our community that everything black is bad

You got devil’s food cake black bad angel food cake white good killer whales black great white sharks white black eyes black magic black what was it black day black ball called blacklisted the list goes on and on and on about the black things that are of a negative connotation and how the white

Things are of Purity and goodness righteousness the everything good is white everything bad is black you can go into even deeper into Black’s Law Dictionary about what black means in there how you’re not even alive you’re you’re not you’re the essence of Blackness is dead so we know this this is this is

Instilled with us from childhood so me coming from my whole life into five years ago so here here I am a grown ass man knowing how words are used to affect people hearing somebody say oh you almost got a black Ace and that be the norm and and hear

People yelling black Ace black Ace when it actually goes in oh my God and then here’s the kicker what do you think they call a disc that gets thrown in the garbage can a brown Ace so a black Ace goes in the wrong basket what is a regular Ace a good Ace

The right ace the wrong Ace Ace is black the right ace is there you go it’s white a round of applause so the wrong Ace the good Ace and part of this here’s the rules here’s the kicker to that and I’m not even going to go into the other stuff yet not

Yet when you make a white Ace when you hit the the right ace the white right one people pay you what do you think rules were made when you hit the wrong Ace the black Ace these made it so you have to pay them you owe somebody you

Owe people on your card money when you make a black Ace this is how far they’ve gotten into this mentality they’re getting paid white is Right black is wrong not only did you do the wrong thing but you owe me money you owe us so black

Ace wrong basket Brown Ace in the garbage can everything about you is wrong you are trash you are garbage you are you owe me money you’re in the wrong you did the wrong thing you are wrong across the board how the is our community going to come

To your community and explain to our children what the that means after we have already explained to them about the devil’s food cake about the killer whales about the black ball about the black listing about the black eye about the black cat about the black magic everything black being bad they

See it on the TV every day how are we supposed to bring our kids to play your Sport and you have this ingrained in the very nature of this sport you have no ability to see yourself you will take no accountability for this and we’re just supposed to brush

This off and act like nothing is going on you we’re not the bad guy for calling you on your criminal nature we’re not the bad guy for calling you out on your criminal actions and lastly I don’t make this too long so I’m not going to go into details

On how this is two more stories or two more examples I’m playing Moraga I’m on my valve silence where playing the weekly I throw a shot down the hill almost blind goes in hit the ace poot running down the hill hands in the air not making a sound people around

Me are talking because they just hear heard it a so they could see it I’m not yelling nothing I’m not doing anything but I’m running towards it towards the basket as I’m getting towards Wards a basket what do you think I hear from somebody the only thing I hear

Right after getting an ace walking up to the basket this I don’t even remember who it was but he was close enough for me to hear it and in a group cuz they’re explaining what just happened he just got an ace he just got an ace he just he just hit the ace

Pot without hesitation the guy says did he have his name on the disc I almost stopped celebrating silently celebrating to walk over to that and smash my disc in his face but at that time I was too pumped that I just hit the ace pie so I just kind of brushed it

Off as we usually do and went about my business cuz I I was I didn’t have time for that but this is how how we are thought of this is how we’re seen you do something great it can’t even be it can’t even be validated it’s something’s

Wrong with it did he did he accidentally do it we have to find out how he’s wrong do it find it where is it uh uh did he have his name on his disc when he hit the ace yeah yeah good one good one Check N you didn’t it’s not how can we

Tell it’s your disc if he was in charge and I didn’t have my name on the disc what do you think he would have done because that can happen and you have all these Witnesses and that perspective will be seen as being valid in that situation simply because they brought up

That point and because they want to support people who don’t support our victories our just basic livelihood we can’t just do things without being typ cast as a criminal you’re black you’re bad you could do the best thing in the sport throw the disc in the basket on one shot and

You will have some piece of try to bring you down best believe he said that loud enough so I can hear it whether he did it unconsciously or consciously is of no never mind I heard it it affected me but what also it affects is the people around

Them see they’re not only talking to me to make me hear a certain thing they’re talking to the people around them this is how you treat these people this is when they do something you question it you don’t do anything other than question it you question it first when when they do

Something oh no no questions asked it is totally the right thing of course his name was on that disc how dare you even think of such a thing that is a pure blood white man he does everything by the rules how dare you sir unbelievable segue in this in this same

Course Moraga it’s also happened in other uh courses more than a few that I’ve noticed and this will be validated by people in the comment section or other people who have seen this and this is a very very very crucial and important one to acknowledge and see and

It’s very painful to hear for a lot of people but th this is facts across the board I saw this when I first started playing disc golf I saw this a lot when I was on my Val of Silence because when you are silent you become

Invisible they do not see you as a threat when you are silent because you can’t do anything to defend yourself and if you can’t even defend yourself you can’t do anything to hurt them so they can say anything around you because you can’t say anything to stop them from

Saying what they’re saying or defend yourself so they get real comfortable around you when your weapons are put away our voice is a weapon I put my weapon away for an entire year and the that I heard the that I’ve seen you would not believe it’s hard to understand how this

Actually is real but it is more real than what most people consider to be real so when you’re getting ready to throw part of everything is to maintain the safety of everybody on the course sometimes you’re throwing where other people walk in Moraga there’s a pathway right through a

one of our holes in other courses that are closer that’s a good example but it’s kind of far away so you can’t really argue that you can’t tell who’s there because you could tell who’s there even in that hole but I’ll give other examples in other courses this has

Happened more than a few times where somebody from our community will be walking by in the way where making you wait their responses to our people walking in the way M interrupting their Disc Off game oh my God you the vitriol the an the the just the the

Fangs come out if they’re in that mood and they see one of you in the way oh my God compared to everybody else other people h no problem we’ll just wait oh they have a dog even better we’ll just wait and watch them with their beautiful dog here’s the up part even more

up I’ve seen people say it’s okay and throw when people are right by the basket right in in In Harm’s Way right in the way they will throw when it’s one of your people standing there but if there’s another person that doesn’t look like you standing there

They will wait as long as possible without having anything oh yeah it’s fine we’re we’re good no no anger no nothing here’s even the most up part of that if they have a dog even if it’s not with somebody if just a dog comes in to the equation when they’re

Throwing if their safety is in question on a disc golf course compared to the safety of our people these people are more they have more of a protective reaction for protecting a dog than they do for you the up thing is people know this is true and they cannot allow

Themselves in this moment they’re listening to me say that a dog is protected more than you if I Stomp the puppy to death out here up here just a little puppy and stomped it right here to death in front of you most of you would need therapy and I would be arrested probably

Faster than killing a black man for killing a puppy they care more about a dog the the safety of a dog than they do for so-called black people I’ve seen this on more than one occasion you can other people can add credibility to this statement because I know they’ve

Seen it if I’ve seen it as many times as as I’ve seen it I know other people have seen it so not only will they not throw when there’s a dog or somebody else there that they care about but they will throw they will put you in danger if

You’re standing there that’s why I said this is these are two different worlds One World they overprotect themselves and even dogs another world they will put you in danger in the same scenario because you have been dehumanized you are less than they even have it ingrained in the literature of

Their sport a black Ace you are wrong the rest of the world has that same mentality with everything else I listed off everything and that’s not even a fraction of the that is bad because it’s it’s so-called black it’s accepted and this is a we have to

Deal with every day I have to walk out onto the disc golf course knowing at any moment in time something like this is going to happen the potential alone for this to happen is is heavy enough to know that this is something that happens is enough to make people

Not even want to play anymore there going to be people who see these videos and might have an interest of playing the sport and won’t want to play the sport just to avoid these people and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that it sucks that they would not get to

Experience this sport but I completely and wholeheartedly understand why people would not want to put themselves into this situation because in many ways it’s not worth it if you don’t have a deep passion for it you don’t want to be out there in that situation why we have to deal with

This every day like I said before we go out to the disc golf course to get away from this and we’ve been we desensitized ourselves to acknowledge that we are even in this capacity we are still dealing with it so I’ll leave it there there’s a whole

Bunch of other examples that I want to share if you have anything that you want to share reach out to me ni gmail.com or just leave a comment and I’ll do what I can to share it so once again thank you for the support thank you for sharing this

Information and let’s keep rolling with it
