I thought, 0:00:23.079 --> 0:00:26.400 we we we you know, we didn't let the people vote. 0:00:26.400 --> 0:00:28.720 We should do the people choice. 0:00:28.680 --> 0:00:29.400 On the names. 0:00:29.840 --> 0:00:32.120 We should we should do that. 0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:34.519 We should do the people's choice. Actually I like that, 0:00:34.560 --> 0:00:36.040 I do, so let's do that. 0:00:38.360 --> 0:00:40.600 I think because I came up with it, I kind 0:00:40.640 --> 0:00:42.480 of have like an affinity to the name. 0:00:42.600 --> 0:00:48.160 But also I also understand evolution, and I did too. 0:00:48.479 --> 0:00:50.839 It was me that came up with Yes, I did. 0:00:51.960 --> 0:00:57.360 I did. Oh my gosh. You okay, so you. 0:00:57.320 --> 0:01:00.200 Came up with it, of course I did. You forget. 0:01:01.680 --> 0:01:06.000 You did not come anyway today because today we are 0:01:06.040 --> 0:01:12.640 on a ti time got our guests telling you, I'm 0:01:12.640 --> 0:01:14.680 not gonna get caught up on you, just like I'm 0:01:14.680 --> 0:01:17.520 not going to stay caught up on Carly. 0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:20.560 Russell for the rest of my life, because Lord have mercy. 0:01:20.680 --> 0:01:22.759 People are still. 0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.280 It's days and days and days later, and they're not 0:01:25.319 --> 0:01:29.040 gonna just and and and you know what someone said 0:01:29.080 --> 0:01:31.320 to me or said They didn't say it to me, 0:01:31.880 --> 0:01:34.400 they wrote in the comments section of one thing or 0:01:34.440 --> 0:01:34.720 the other. 0:01:34.760 --> 0:01:38.199 Either the Shade Room reposted my. 0:01:39.920 --> 0:01:42.720 Comments on the situation when it first happened right after 0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:46.400 the press conference last week, and it was either there 0:01:46.480 --> 0:01:51.040 or on my page where someone said, it's so crazy 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:53.800 that people want us to just move on and be 0:01:53.920 --> 0:01:56.880 more mad at us for being mad at Carly than 0:01:56.960 --> 0:01:59.280 we are than they are at Carly. So I don't 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:00.720 know if they would talk to me, but I know 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.120 that the fact that it came up in on my 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.840 feed means it was in some of those comment sections, 0:02:06.240 --> 0:02:08.680 And I was thinking, I don't think anybody is telling 0:02:08.720 --> 0:02:10.679 people to move on. I know I haven't said that. 0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:14.720 I think there's a whole lot of discovery and deep 0:02:14.880 --> 0:02:20.240 dives and discussion that needs to be had, So you know, 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:25.480 I'm not I wouldn't say that. I definitely definitely don't 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.800 think that people should just move on. I think that 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.760 people have the right to go through all different types 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.360 of emotions. There's some grief, there's some anger, there's frustration, 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:38.560 there's disappointment. 0:02:39.120 --> 0:02:41.320 There's a lot of. 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:43.120 Things that I think people have the right to feel, 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.840 and I think people have the right to call for accountability. 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:48.040 No, no, I agree. You know what I'm saying, And 0:02:48.760 --> 0:02:51.160 my thing is this, I'm not mad at y'all being 0:02:51.160 --> 0:02:53.400 mad at the situation. I'm not mad at you being 0:02:54.000 --> 0:02:57.639 mad because you know there's a possibility that the lady lie, 0:02:57.880 --> 0:03:02.600 I wouldn't. I'm not angry at that. I'm confused with 0:03:03.120 --> 0:03:07.040 why people are mad at other people who have good 0:03:07.120 --> 0:03:10.280 hearts and good natures for trying to save somebody's life 0:03:10.320 --> 0:03:14.200 that they thought was in trouble, Like because you, because 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:18.720 you you're overly skeptical, and if you would because the 0:03:18.760 --> 0:03:21.320 thing is, if you if the people who were saying 0:03:21.360 --> 0:03:23.960 she was lying was wrong and she would have died, 0:03:24.080 --> 0:03:27.079 I could have been okay with that. You're to say, 0:03:27.080 --> 0:03:30.600 I'm saying because what's the worst of her, Well, the worst. 0:03:30.760 --> 0:03:33.000 When I looked at both case scenarios, I said to myself, 0:03:33.000 --> 0:03:36.000 if this is not the truth, the worst case scenario 0:03:36.160 --> 0:03:38.360 is we find out it's not the truth, nobody dies. 0:03:38.760 --> 0:03:42.000 If somebody is done something illegal, they go to jail. Cool. 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.840 But the worst case scenario, if I'm wrong for not 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.560 believing or trying to find out if something happened to 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.120 this woman that she could lose her life, and that 0:03:50.280 --> 0:03:52.480 wasn't I mean, the trade off for me was easy. 0:03:52.520 --> 0:03:56.800 It's like, okay, now, whatever colleagues issues is, whatever the 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.440 problem is, whatever her the legal ramifications is for whatever, 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.760 if they were are. You know, those are things that 0:04:02.800 --> 0:04:05.800 she kind of deal with. But me, on my heart, 0:04:05.880 --> 0:04:07.640 I did the right thing, and I would do it 0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:11.840 every time. Every time I see the situation where women 0:04:12.000 --> 0:04:15.840 was you know, quote unquote supposedly abducted, nobody knew who 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.240 she was, and people were trying to find it. I 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.800 would lend my voice in my platform every time to 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.320 try to find out where she is without question. 0:04:23.680 --> 0:04:26.760 And I said, and I said every time that I can, right, 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.880 because I want to be honest that none of us 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.239 are going to show up the right way every time. 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:36.480 And I saw Teslin figure out our girl from a 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:43.480 straight shot, no chaser talking about how it's classism as well, right, 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:46.600 because there are a lot of people who are missing 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.160 that never get the type of attention that Carlie Russell received. 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.720 And a part of the reason why she got that 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:58.200 attention was because her status, her parents' status, they were 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.920 able to reach people who reached people who took it 0:05:02.000 --> 0:05:05.360 to a high level. So it wasn't really on the 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:10.679 news at all until Star Jones contacted you know, different 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.039 people in the media. And I know she did it 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:13.800 because she was We was on text threads and she 0:05:13.920 --> 0:05:15.719 was like, Okay, they're gonna running on CNN at this 0:05:15.800 --> 0:05:17.720 time in that time and this and that, because she's 0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:20.200 got those relationships. I mean, we know who Star Jones 0:05:20.320 --> 0:05:24.200 is and so if you don't look her up and 0:05:24.240 --> 0:05:27.680 so that helped. But what I will say is that 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:32.320 from our perspective, Breonna Taylor didn't have that type of profile. 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:34.479 She didn't have that type of profile. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.560 And there's other cases that we worked on where they 0:05:37.600 --> 0:05:40.800 did not have those types of profiles or they didn't 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:44.400 she didn't come from a family that was you know, 0:05:44.800 --> 0:05:48.719 sorority members and whatever. I don't know anything about what 0:05:48.800 --> 0:05:51.320 this family has, but just based upon what I'm able 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:56.880 to gather, the relationships that she had helped them to 0:05:57.000 --> 0:05:59.840 get this story going the way that it did. 0:06:00.520 --> 0:06:03.279 In a situation with Brianna, it took two months. 0:06:03.360 --> 0:06:07.400 And so I do agree with Tesla's point that based 0:06:07.480 --> 0:06:11.520 upon where you sit in life sometimes and circumstances because 0:06:11.520 --> 0:06:13.040 it's looking for a child on the side of the 0:06:13.120 --> 0:06:15.200 road and blah blah blah, and then you go missing. 0:06:15.480 --> 0:06:19.080 That would make people respond quicker. And Breonna Taylor's case, 0:06:19.279 --> 0:06:21.520 there was a drug dealer boyfriend and they were trying 0:06:21.560 --> 0:06:24.680 their best to make it the worst story ever, and 0:06:24.720 --> 0:06:27.440 as a result, people kind of turned a blind eye, 0:06:27.480 --> 0:06:29.680 really didn't know about it. The media didn't cover it, 0:06:29.839 --> 0:06:31.960 and it took people like Ben Crump and I'll needed 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:36.720 Baker and Sam Agyar and the local community and all 0:06:36.760 --> 0:06:39.600 of us to get together and bring it to life. 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:42.000 So I think to you know, those are conversations we 0:06:42.080 --> 0:06:45.080 have to have that we can't just we can't stop 0:06:45.080 --> 0:06:48.279 at Carly Russell. But we also have to think about 0:06:48.560 --> 0:06:51.280 what are the things that block us or stop us 0:06:51.279 --> 0:06:54.039 from engaging in these situations, and then how do we 0:06:54.120 --> 0:06:57.520 use the same power for the hundreds of thousands of 0:06:57.600 --> 0:07:03.400 people who are harmed, missing, whatever in different ways, the kidnappings, 0:07:03.560 --> 0:07:07.440 the children that are missing in Ohio, the people being 0:07:07.520 --> 0:07:11.680 killed by police. And it takes me to the topic 0:07:11.800 --> 0:07:14.760 of right now, what we should be talking about all 0:07:14.800 --> 0:07:18.920 this legislative shit that's happening. Because I understand that people 0:07:19.040 --> 0:07:21.040 are so worn out and we say it all the 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:24.480 time because we want to acknowledge that folks feel tired. 0:07:24.920 --> 0:07:28.120 They feel tired, they feel like, you know, it's just 0:07:28.240 --> 0:07:30.240 too much of the same thing. Keep on having a 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.560 conversation about the legislators and this and that. But this 0:07:33.600 --> 0:07:37.280 stuff is really, really, really really serious. And the only 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:40.360 point that I would make is that, you know, first 0:07:40.400 --> 0:07:43.000 of all, let me just read what happened in Florida 0:07:43.360 --> 0:07:46.720 last week. Very simple thing that happened in Florida last week, 0:07:46.720 --> 0:07:49.600 and it was going on at the same time as 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:55.680 the Carly Russell discovery or uncovering What's happening. So the 0:07:55.760 --> 0:08:03.280 Florida Board of Education approves several new controversial laws passed 0:08:03.280 --> 0:08:09.200 by the legislature and signed by Governor Ron DeSantis. Several 0:08:09.240 --> 0:08:13.880 Democratic state lawmakers attended the board meetings on Wednesday, and 0:08:14.080 --> 0:08:17.440 each disagreed with the standards. So all of this shit 0:08:17.560 --> 0:08:21.480 that people arguing with us about political sides, and they 0:08:21.520 --> 0:08:25.080 all ain't nothing. One group was pushing for these laws, 0:08:25.320 --> 0:08:29.040 the other group disagreed with it and tried to fight it. Okay, 0:08:29.800 --> 0:08:36.760 they took particular issue with one instructional change that includes 0:08:37.600 --> 0:08:45.120 how slaves developed skills, skills which in some instances could 0:08:45.160 --> 0:08:49.959 be applied for their personal benefit. So basically, what they're 0:08:50.040 --> 0:08:53.840 doing is changing the way that history is told. 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:54.800 Now. 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.800 I know y'all say, well, people need to tell a 0:08:57.040 --> 0:08:58.080 history to their children. 0:08:58.280 --> 0:08:59.160 That's not the point. 0:09:00.200 --> 0:09:02.840 You need to do all that, but your kids should 0:09:02.880 --> 0:09:05.240 still not be going to a school. 0:09:04.880 --> 0:09:06.600 To the public year, to the public. 0:09:06.520 --> 0:09:07.679 To the public school. 0:09:08.160 --> 0:09:11.840 That is teaching them that being enslaved meant that you 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:15.520 were able to develop skills for later on in life. 0:09:15.679 --> 0:09:18.360 And some people just don't know. To Mika, some of 0:09:18.360 --> 0:09:22.240 the parents don't some of the parents are the reality situations. 0:09:22.280 --> 0:09:24.080 What I realized was my I didn't mean to cut. 0:09:23.960 --> 0:09:24.960 You off, no, please. 0:09:25.040 --> 0:09:28.760 What I realized was my parents, my grandparents, my grandparents, 0:09:29.480 --> 0:09:32.120 they sacrifice so that we can have a better education 0:09:32.240 --> 0:09:36.160 in them, right, they sacrificed. They weren't as aware of 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.360 our history. They didn't know all those things. I remember 0:09:38.400 --> 0:09:42.040 coming home with lessons and teaching it to my grandmother 0:09:42.040 --> 0:09:43.600 and telling her. She was like, I didn't know that, 0:09:43.800 --> 0:09:46.319 and I would teach her things and she wanted to learn. 0:09:46.480 --> 0:09:48.160 But her job was, you know, I'm gonna make sure 0:09:48.200 --> 0:09:52.000 that your mother has a better education, and me and 0:09:52.040 --> 0:09:54.160 my mother's to us to make sure I have education 0:09:54.240 --> 0:09:56.920 in her. Sometimes we don't know the things so while 0:09:56.960 --> 0:10:00.120 we while our parents were working hard and putting, that's 0:10:00.160 --> 0:10:02.360 a position to be able to go to school and 0:10:02.360 --> 0:10:04.400 not have to worry about if we starve or if 0:10:04.400 --> 0:10:07.360 we didn't have clothes on our backs. You know, the 0:10:07.640 --> 0:10:10.320 schools that say that we go to should be teaching 0:10:10.360 --> 0:10:12.920 us the proper curriculum. And that's the bottom mind it 0:10:13.240 --> 0:10:16.440 it's not even though of course it would be ideal 0:10:16.520 --> 0:10:19.960 if every parent was able to teach you know, African 0:10:20.040 --> 0:10:23.320 history and African American history to their children and be 0:10:23.360 --> 0:10:26.600 accurate upon it. But that's not the reality. And we 0:10:26.640 --> 0:10:29.280 shouldn't have to. You know, we should want to if 0:10:29.280 --> 0:10:31.280 we're able to, but we shouldn't have to. We shouldn't 0:10:31.280 --> 0:10:33.520 be able to go to schools and get the proper 0:10:33.679 --> 0:10:35.559 education and gractually. 0:10:35.200 --> 0:10:37.920 Schools that are paid for by our tax. 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:38.760 The public schools. 0:10:38.840 --> 0:10:42.760 Yes, but can I say one thing though, and this 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.160 is my thought of the day today as we get 0:10:45.240 --> 0:10:47.640 ready to and you know, we were supposed to talk 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.040 about Daniel Cameron, and I guess we need to probably 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.959 do a live or something to really break that down. 0:10:54.400 --> 0:10:56.559 I just before I get to my thought of the day, 0:10:57.000 --> 0:10:59.800 I want to encourage everybody. You already said what you said, 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.240 so let's just wrap that up and make the point 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.480 that even though yes, we absolutely and I disagree with you, 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.640 I don't think it's that we shouldn't have to We 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:09.880 should want to know. 0:11:10.000 --> 0:11:12.640 We should absolutely make it a. 0:11:14.240 --> 0:11:18.600 One hundred percent demand that in our homes we teach 0:11:18.679 --> 0:11:22.800 our children history the right way. They're never gonna teach 0:11:22.840 --> 0:11:25.760 it exactly as it needs to be told for the 0:11:25.800 --> 0:11:28.840 benefit of our children and our communities and for our 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:32.800 well being and our understanding and for their well being. 0:11:32.920 --> 0:11:33.960 They're never gonna do that. 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.120 But they should not be allowed legislatively to pass laws 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:42.320 that erase our history and their history. They should be 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.400 exposed to and it is not right, and we should 0:11:45.440 --> 0:11:47.880 not sit by and say, well, I don't care, and 0:11:48.000 --> 0:11:48.920 allow it to happen. 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:50.520 Because no matter what you teach. 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.840 Your children at home, if they go somewhere else every 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.839 single day and spend more time in that place than 0:11:56.880 --> 0:11:59.680 they do at home with their parents and they're being 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.720 taught something different, it conflicts what you're telling them, and 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.880 that is not okay. You pay taxes, the taxes should 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:10.120 be spent to do the right job. So we needed 0:12:10.240 --> 0:12:12.640 first of all put that to this side. On the 0:12:12.679 --> 0:12:17.080 other side, right, this is the Daniel Cameron story, y'all know. 0:12:17.160 --> 0:12:19.400 We talk about it all the time. Y'all know the deal. 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.160 This is the Attorney General of Kentucky and what he 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.720 did to Brianna Taylor's family where he refused to prosecute 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:31.280 those officers. The jurors came forward and said that they 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:35.960 were never presented with charges for Brionna Taylor's killers, and 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:38.880 that if they hadn't been presented with the charges, would 0:12:39.160 --> 0:12:42.079 they would have indicted them because they believed that what 0:12:42.120 --> 0:12:43.640 those officers did was wrong. 0:12:43.880 --> 0:12:44.680 He did nothing. 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:49.200 He only got an indictment for the wall and the 0:12:49.240 --> 0:12:51.600 potential for the bullets that went through a wall to 0:12:51.640 --> 0:12:55.120 harm other people, and nothing for a dead woman nor 0:12:55.320 --> 0:12:58.960 a young man whose life has been destroyed forever, which 0:12:59.000 --> 0:13:01.440 is Kenny Walker. So we know that we know that 0:13:01.440 --> 0:13:04.360 that's what the Attorney General's done. We know that his 0:13:04.520 --> 0:13:09.600 relationship with Mitch McConnell and his status as a very 0:13:09.679 --> 0:13:13.920 high ranking Republican. He is a well liked Republican in 0:13:14.120 --> 0:13:17.040 the state of Kentucky. He has a twelve point plan 0:13:17.160 --> 0:13:22.000 that includes drug offenders being getting the death penalty. This 0:13:22.080 --> 0:13:24.800 is what he's running on. This is his platform. He 0:13:24.840 --> 0:13:27.520 wants to get rid of the Civilian Complaint Review Board 0:13:27.720 --> 0:13:32.439 so that there is no recourse, no mechanism for being 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:37.560 able to challenge police officers and hold them accountable when 0:13:37.640 --> 0:13:42.880 they when they when I want to say when they assault, 0:13:42.920 --> 0:13:45.840 but that's not the right word because it's not just assault. 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:50.280 It's also just illegal behavior in general, the way that 0:13:50.360 --> 0:13:54.160 they treat people in communities. So when they are wrong, 0:13:54.559 --> 0:13:58.240 when they are God what I don't know. I want 0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:01.560 to because I keep going to a violent part, but 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.720 I have to always remind myself that it's not always 0:14:04.840 --> 0:14:09.559 just violence. Sometimes it's harassment in communities and people are 0:14:09.640 --> 0:14:12.480 able to report what police officers have done. 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.960 And he wants to get rid of the Civilian Complaint. 0:14:14.679 --> 0:14:17.840 Review Board, which people fought for to make sure that 0:14:17.960 --> 0:14:22.680 we had a mechanism for accountability within policing. Okay, he's 0:14:22.720 --> 0:14:25.360 talking about centering police and now he's running for governor. 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:26.320 We need your help. 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.320 We are going to fight Daniel Cameron tooth and nail, 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.200 and in order to fight him, we are asking you. 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.680 I know it's a lot fifty dollars for a T shirt. 0:14:34.720 --> 0:14:36.680 You gotta be kidding me. The T shirt on the 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.280 front has a beautiful picture of Breonna Taylor. 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.040 It's the shirt that we wore when we wore when 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:42.560 we went. 0:14:42.480 --> 0:14:46.680 To the Beyonce concert or the Renaissance tour with forty 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:50.280 of our people, protesters and lawyers and others who've been 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.840 involved in the Brionna Taylor movement. And we are asking 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:57.040 you to spend fifty dollars to buy yourself and everybody 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.760 in your family stretch as far as you can, and 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.960 a T shirt on Until Freedom's website. Right now, you 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.920 go to until freedom dot com and purchase a T shirt. 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.400 We need to sell ten thousand T shirts at fifty 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.960 dollars so that we can pay for our office space 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:17.440 in Louisville, Kentucky and in Lexington, Kentucky, hire our staff 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.120 and put people to work to fight this man and 0:15:20.160 --> 0:15:23.160 not allow him to be rewarded to go from attorney 0:15:23.200 --> 0:15:26.600 general to governor. Because he becomes governor, he can become president. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.640 So we have to put a stop to it. So 0:15:28.720 --> 0:15:30.840 I'm gonna let you respond to that, but I just 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:32.400 want to give you my thought of the day and 0:15:32.440 --> 0:15:33.600 then you take us out. 0:15:33.440 --> 0:15:37.000 And take us to our guests. Okay, here's my thought. 0:15:36.720 --> 0:15:40.640 Of the day. 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:43.840 It's a damn lie. 0:15:44.280 --> 0:15:46.920 So, first of all, it's one thing to try to 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:53.320 change history and try to skew it where it sounds 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.400 better and it's softer. So you don't want to say 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.800 that these people were brutally beaten, they were murdered, they 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:04.200 were rates, they were robbed from their homeland. It is 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:10.920 absolutely one hundred percent alive. Now you can try to 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.920 change history so it sounds better, so it feels better, 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.440 so that people don't understand that the Africans who were 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:25.320 robbed and and stolen and brought to America under freaking 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:30.400 the worst atrocity that this country has ever or that 0:16:30.680 --> 0:16:34.360 the Europeans have ever committed in order to create this 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:39.840 nation that we're in, that they stole from another group 0:16:39.880 --> 0:16:40.240 of people. 0:16:40.360 --> 0:16:41.760 So that that's the history. 0:16:42.120 --> 0:16:44.840 That's the history, and you could try to change it 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:49.160 to make it sound softer so it feels better, and 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.880 so people will not take with them your history when 0:16:52.880 --> 0:16:55.800 they're voting, when they're spending their money, and when they 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.280 are just living in their everyday lives and have to 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:03.000 make decisions. Understand the devil that exists within some of 0:17:03.040 --> 0:17:06.200 those who are still walking among us. So you can 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.359 try to change it, but then you're a damn liar 0:17:09.760 --> 0:17:13.840 because you sit there and say, and this new Florida, 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:18.160 these legislative items have been put in place to make 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:22.359 it seem like, from our history perspective, when we got 0:17:22.400 --> 0:17:24.920 here to America, we learned skills. 0:17:25.119 --> 0:17:26.280 That's a damn lie. 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.000 We already had the skills when we got here. That's 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:32.520 why you came to get us. Because the Europeans were 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.879 among the people in Africa. They were on the continent, 0:17:37.080 --> 0:17:40.040 and they learned that we were already some of the 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:42.000 most skillful people. 0:17:41.840 --> 0:17:42.680 In the world. 0:17:43.200 --> 0:17:47.160 There was nobody anywhere else that was more skillful than 0:17:47.280 --> 0:17:48.320 us as Africans. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.320 These that was one of the reasons why they chose 0:17:51.400 --> 0:17:56.040 Africans as set Absolutely, they realized how talented, durable all 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:57.159 the things in the world. 0:17:57.640 --> 0:18:01.120 Right, we were not just talented, but we also could 0:18:01.200 --> 0:18:05.200 stay in the sun for longer than any other group 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:09.240 of people, and so they found us to be a commodity. 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.240 We was a hot commodity. So don't you let anybody 0:18:12.320 --> 0:18:16.200 tell you that when we got here we developed skills. No, 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:19.000 we bought our skills here. We bought skills that the 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.879 Europeans didn't have. They didn't have the skills to build 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.320 their own white house, to build their own monuments, to 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.399 build their own society. They did not even have the 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:33.000 skills to be a civilized people. We were the ones 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:36.399 who had the skills set, who had the ability to 0:18:36.560 --> 0:18:43.000 even raise their babies and feed their children. That was us, Okay, 0:18:43.200 --> 0:18:47.360 that was Africans who were robbed of our homeland, our culture, 0:18:47.680 --> 0:18:51.480 everything everything about us, our names. They took everything and 0:18:51.520 --> 0:18:54.359 they stripped us down so that they could bring here. 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:57.600 So bring us here and use the skills. 0:18:57.200 --> 0:18:58.800 That we already had. 0:18:59.080 --> 0:19:02.639 We were already carpenters. We were all refraed. What are 0:19:02.640 --> 0:19:05.600 you talking about? First of all, if you go into 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:08.000 Egypt and look at the walls, we were writing. We 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:11.560 were already writing. When you think about how TV shows 0:19:11.600 --> 0:19:14.640 were made, if you look at the cinema and how 0:19:14.720 --> 0:19:17.840 all those things happened, where you see an image and 0:19:17.880 --> 0:19:20.159 another image and another image and another image and it 0:19:20.240 --> 0:19:23.919 tells a full story. That's on the walls in the 0:19:24.040 --> 0:19:28.480 damn pyramids and inside of the different tombs and whatnot. 0:19:28.680 --> 0:19:35.120 In Egypt, in Africa, it's already there. So we had 0:19:35.160 --> 0:19:39.800 the skills. We built things that the world can't even imagine, 0:19:40.119 --> 0:19:42.320 that you would never have been able to and we're 0:19:42.359 --> 0:19:43.800 still doing it now. 0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:47.800 We ain't land on Plymouth rock. Plymouth rock landed on us. 0:19:48.200 --> 0:19:52.520 I'm just saying it's a lie. It's not just it's 0:19:52.600 --> 0:19:56.640 not just distorted. It's a flat line that we had 0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:00.719 to learn those skills. No, we were the farmers, we 0:20:00.760 --> 0:20:05.560 were the carpenters, We raised the children, We were the builders. 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:09.879 We did the cooking. We found things in the gardens 0:20:10.160 --> 0:20:13.640 and out in the wild that they didn't even know existed, 0:20:13.760 --> 0:20:17.280 to create the food that we all still eat right now, 0:20:18.119 --> 0:20:18.720 that's a fact. 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:24.600 I mean, we've contributed so much to American civilization, you know, 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:28.959 so to for Florida to even come up with this 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.840 stupid ass you know, laws and legislation they're trying to 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:37.359 pass in these schools, it's it's actually just disrespectful, you know. 0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:41.880 And I just say to myself, we realized this America, 0:20:42.240 --> 0:20:46.000 you know, this is this is what they've done. They've 0:20:45.760 --> 0:20:50.600 they've done so many atrocities to so many different people, 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:56.480 but black people being the most. Continue to compound those 0:20:56.520 --> 0:21:00.000 atrocities by trying to erase the history of those atrocity 0:21:00.080 --> 0:21:03.320 these and not reckon with that history, you know, and 0:21:03.320 --> 0:21:06.679 not be honest about that history. It's just just so 0:21:06.840 --> 0:21:07.800 disrespectful to me. 0:21:08.160 --> 0:21:11.040 The thing about it is that it's not just disrespectful, 0:21:11.080 --> 0:21:15.160 it's criminal because it's coming from elected officials, right. 0:21:15.560 --> 0:21:19.359 And we better, we better, we better Carly. 0:21:19.119 --> 0:21:23.560 That because we're busy worrying about huh. 0:21:23.560 --> 0:21:26.040 That's we better car Lead that you're hustle. 0:21:26.119 --> 0:21:28.880 That is what a lie can do, and a lie 0:21:28.960 --> 0:21:32.920 can do great damage, and it has done great damage. 0:21:33.240 --> 0:21:37.600 But if you think that Carly's lie is worse than 0:21:37.600 --> 0:21:39.480 a lie that they're trying to tell to the people 0:21:39.520 --> 0:21:43.440 of the whole state of Florida and across this world, no, sir, no, 0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:44.520 it ain't the same. 0:21:44.920 --> 0:21:46.240 Do you be mad at you? 0:21:47.040 --> 0:21:49.919 Especially? My thing is this, Especially if you're somebody who 0:21:50.040 --> 0:21:54.360 supported her, and you know you you were actually scared, 0:21:54.560 --> 0:21:58.359 praying for her, you know, trying to reach out, utilizing 0:21:58.400 --> 0:22:01.879 your platforms to speak up for her, and then you 0:22:01.960 --> 0:22:04.760 find this out, you have no right. You have every right, 0:22:04.840 --> 0:22:08.440 I mean, to be disappointed, you know, and to say 0:22:08.480 --> 0:22:10.240
