Speakers critique political elitism and access to resources

Politics. The same politics has blocked my son, my other son, my youngest from being able to have real tutoring at his schools because there's no money for real tutoring, and we have to pay for that. What the do I know about politics? Because, you know, I work a regular job. My husband works a regular job. We're working class people. What the do we know? We're just the ones who foot the bill. That's what the fuck we know. We pay for our daughter to go to college. We pay for our sons to have private tutoring. We pay for a fucking $5 fucking gas. That's what Angela Rod thinks of you, bitch. That's what she thinks of you. She's not just talking about me. She's talking about you. Angela is allowed to say whatever she wants to say, but Brandi, somehow, as a normal, is not. Yeah, Angela. This was not the move. It was not the move at all. I think Angela's taking the heat appropriately. I think that this type of rhetoric, this elitism, this is exactly what we can't afford to deal with right now. It's just complete and utter bullshit. We have this, like, gatekeeping mentality or this. This idea that the bar is so high and only certain people with certain qualifications, experiences, education levels who are part of the right crowd can have a seat at the table to discuss politics that impact all of us. Please miss me with that shit. I hate to say it, but Brandi read her for filth. Honestly, I. I enjoyed it. I truly did. I actually ran into Angela Rye. We crossed paths a few years ago when I moderated a panel that she was on at the. During the Congressional Black Caucus. This one was on black maternal health, I believe. So Angela was one of, like, three or four panelists. And I was at the podium moderating it. And I didn't have a chance to introduce myself beforehand. After the panel, there was a woman, a young woman in the audience who had asked a question, and she was going through a challenging career transition. She had been let go or something like that, had long term unemployment. And if I remember correctly, I mean, this is what I do. I'm a career coach, right? So I saw that the woman was circled up with the panelists who had been. So, like, the. Most of them have been really nice to me, even though I didn't have a chance to, like, chat that much. So I walked up just to, like, join the conversation. And the way that Angela looked at me like I was a bug on the bottom of her shoe. It was giving. It was the. The body language and the. The facial expression of everything that she said to Brandi. Like, who is you to be in the conversation, sharing space with me? And why are you here? Mind you, I had just moderated the panel. Like, I'm not some rando.
