1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: Are we still not judge for how much we can

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:07,720
Speaker 1: output physically, the basketball player, the football player, the Olympic

3
00:00:07,800 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: track star. You're only worth as much as you can

4
00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: be used by the power structure. The only difference between

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,200
Speaker 1: a slave of two hundred years ago and the slave

6
00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:22,040
Speaker 1: of today is the slave of today is well compensated,

7
00:00:22,239 --> 00:00:25,720
Speaker 1: but he has no more power than his ancestor had

8
00:00:25,760 --> 00:00:27,639
Speaker 1: on the plantation two hundred.

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:30,040
Speaker 2: Years So black people's money doesn't have power.

10
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:36,839
Speaker 1: No, Ricky Smiley and Steve Harvey, y'all only carried on

11
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: case y'all got paid to carry on. He may not

12
00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:44,959
Speaker 1: have taken no money, but that white platform on they damn.

13
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:46,159
Speaker 3: Sure getting paid for kam Lardray.

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:52,440
Speaker 2: You can't offer Steve Harvey ten thousand to do nothing.

15
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 2: Do you think that politicians have to give us anything

16
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: outside of promises to get us to vote for them.

17
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:07,840
Speaker 2: Because when a young black boy gets out of the

18
00:01:07,920 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: f d MG school, he's not guaranteed employment either.

19
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 3: Yes he is through us.

20
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 1: Our graduates will get small business loans from the school itself.

21
00:01:16,840 --> 00:01:18,880
Speaker 1: We're gonna set them up now. If they want to

22
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,360
Speaker 1: go to college, we will support that. I'm not saying

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: no child should go to college. You're gonna give every

24
00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:25,280
Speaker 1: kid a small business.

25
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:28,120
Speaker 2: That's our plan. How do you plan on getting that done?

26
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: We have a plan for that. We got a nice plan.

27
00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:36,240
Speaker 1: Ye see, I got that die. It ain't it ain't.

28
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,520
Speaker 2: It's if I gains.

29
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:41,920
Speaker 1: No way for you to know whether or not I'm

30
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: going to deliver until they graduate in eight years. And

31
00:01:45,520 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 1: that's you already know whether Kamma are going to deliver

32
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: because she's been VP for four.

33
00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 4: And it ain't gating you.

34
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:52,920
Speaker 1: Esh, that's true.

35
00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 2: But if she's making promises on the campaign trail, you

36
00:01:56,560 --> 00:01:58,760
Speaker 2: also have no way to know if she's gonna deliver

37
00:01:59,040 --> 00:01:59,960
Speaker 2: until she's elected.

38
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: You are absolutely right, So what promise does she make

39
00:02:02,440 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: the black people so far on the campaign trail? When

40
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:11,320
Speaker 1: Oprah sat here with all the white women you made

41
00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:15,000
Speaker 1: rich on that damn shelf, with all the doctor phils

42
00:02:15,040 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: and others who you promoted to national prominence, you couldn't

43
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,520
Speaker 1: even give them enough money to fix up the station.

44
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: Oprah is the richest woman in the history of the

45
00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,880
Speaker 1: North American continent. God forbid if she go back to

46
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:31,799
Speaker 1: her ancestors, and we hope that's no time soon, but

47
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,840
Speaker 1: God forbid that woman go back to our ancestors haven't

48
00:02:34,880 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 1: done nothing significant for her race? Though, it don't make

49
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: sense because the entertainers are more controlled by the white

50
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 1: power structure that you and I could ever be. Look

51
00:02:45,800 --> 00:02:48,680
Speaker 1: at what they make, Look how much they make, and

52
00:02:48,760 --> 00:02:54,280
Speaker 1: more important, look who they make it from. I lie

53
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: to you, not brother, and I say it to the

54
00:02:56,480 --> 00:02:59,520
Speaker 1: audience here in my Nashville family. If I had the

55
00:02:59,639 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: power to strip every black male and female student athlete

56
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,359
Speaker 1: of their god given skill, I would do it right

57
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:12,680
Speaker 1: now because the money that they're making with their God

58
00:03:12,760 --> 00:03:17,440
Speaker 1: given and ancestral given talents are not benefiting us. Look

59
00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,519
Speaker 1: at all the snow bunnies who are getting rich off

60
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: these black men going to the league, so we don't benefit.

61
00:03:24,120 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: How has the NBA benefited Black America? How has the

62
00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:33,000
Speaker 1: NFL benefited Black America? How has hip hop culture we're

63
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:36,800
Speaker 1: gonna get to them fitted Black America? It has not.

64
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: So if I were in charge, there would be a

65
00:03:39,560 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: moratorium on gangster rap.

66
00:03:41,280 --> 00:03:42,560
Speaker 3: There would be a moratorialm when an.

67
00:03:42,560 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: NFL, NBA and Olympics, ain't nobody playing until we get

68
00:03:46,720 --> 00:03:47,960
Speaker 1: our business back together.

69
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,360
Speaker 4: I don't I don't think that.

70
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,920
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a small move though, But you'll

71
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 2: do what you have to do not to lose your money.

72
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,960
Speaker 1: Right, My money belonged to the people. I don't care

73
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,320
Speaker 1: about no damn money me with that. Oh, I'm telling

74
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:05,320
Speaker 1: you the truth. They can't control me with no money.

75
00:04:05,640 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 4: They already not control you with money.

76
00:04:07,600 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 2: But you're doing things not to lose the money the

77
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: same way lebron is.

78
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 4: You're not just so. So you're telling me.

79
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 2: That you're just wide open reckless.

80
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:17,559
Speaker 4: You don't care about the money.

81
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:22,520
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say reckless, I would say revolutionary.

82
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 3: Do you think Oprah's done nothing?

83
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: Give me, give me something something significant. I mean, scholarships

84
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: don't count. Scholarship, bro, tell me about something.

85
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,599

127
00:06:57,040 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: Frederick Douglass Marcus Scarvey Academy. When I get back home

128
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:04,880
Speaker 1: to Philadelphia Monday, it looks like we're finally going to

129
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:09,120
Speaker 1: get the steps power washed for the first time since

130
00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:11,720
Speaker 1: we've owned the school, so I'm looking forward to that.

131
00:07:12,400 --> 00:07:16,320
Speaker 1: I may also have a brother who's going to lay

132
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:20,640
Speaker 1: down the floor in the school. Really, right now, we

133
00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,880
Speaker 1: are at the stage of cosmetic surgery, and what I

134
00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:26,320
Speaker 1: mean by that is we got another layer of paint

135
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,280
Speaker 1: for the walls. We have to cover up some of

136
00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 1: the floor. Some will be tile, some will be carpet,

137
00:07:33,040 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: and really that's it. We got about four doors. We

138
00:07:35,480 --> 00:07:38,000
Speaker 1: got to switch out four doors. So I'm waiting on

139
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:44,440
Speaker 1: the invoice from the door company, but floor indoors and

140
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:47,200
Speaker 1: it's only a few internal doors, and be ready to

141
00:07:47,240 --> 00:07:51,240
Speaker 1: apply for our certificate occupancy. So we are really really

142
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: at the finish line. But we got to dot every

143
00:07:53,920 --> 00:07:55,760
Speaker 1: R and cross every T. I was told that the

144
00:07:55,760 --> 00:08:00,000
Speaker 1: school need to be absolutely one hundred percent moved in ready,

145
00:08:00,680 --> 00:08:04,000
Speaker 1: so I want to make sure everything's done, And to

146
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:07,000
Speaker 1: be honest with you, bro, we probably got a week

147
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,000
Speaker 1: worth of work left, but it's probably going to take

148
00:08:10,040 --> 00:08:11,440
Speaker 1: us longer than the week because you got to get

149
00:08:11,480 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 1: the right person.

150
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:13,640
Speaker 3: But I would be shocked.

151
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:16,640
Speaker 1: I would be shocked if we're not applying for our

152
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: certificate of occupancy before the end of the year.

153
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:20,280
Speaker 3: Beautiful, do you.

154
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: See yourself opening? What is the time frame from applying

155
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,200
Speaker 2: for the certificate to open in the actual school?

156
00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:33,160
Speaker 1: The question is how long does license and inspection take

157
00:08:33,280 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: to get out there and actually do their job. I

158
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 1: was told that it can take months, but I ran

159
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: into an inspector the other day he told me it

160
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Speaker 1: could be in a couple of days. So you know,

161
00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: I guess the truth is somewhere in between that. Assuming

162
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,240
Speaker 1: we don't get hit with nothing, that's the biggest issue.

163
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 1: Will we get hit if we don't get hit with anything.

164
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:59,040
Speaker 1: I'm looking for a grand opening celebration without donors in

165
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,360
Speaker 1: black history, mind, you know what I mean, give us

166
00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 1: January to prepare and roll it out.

167
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:05,560
Speaker 3: We might do.

168
00:09:05,880 --> 00:09:08,640
Speaker 1: We might do what is black history on twenty eight days.

169
00:09:08,679 --> 00:09:10,960
Speaker 1: We might do twenty eight events in twenty eight days.

170
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:13,640
Speaker 1: Because the other thing too loom. We got to test

171
00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:17,280
Speaker 1: the school to make sure everything that was fixed is working.

172
00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,640
Speaker 1: If y'all know what I mean, Let's flush these tallets,

173
00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,360
Speaker 1: let's use these things, you know, let's play with this heat,

174
00:09:22,440 --> 00:09:24,480
Speaker 1: let's play with this ac because you want to make

175
00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:27,560
Speaker 1: sure the school is workable before the children get in

176
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,720
Speaker 1: there exactly, and we don't plan on bringing the children

177
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,560
Speaker 1: till August. So we'll have about nine months to make

178
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 1: sure everything we paid for is in work in order.

179
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,439
Speaker 1: Because mind you, everything's fixed, but we haven't used anything

180
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:41,160
Speaker 1: because nobody's coming in there yet, you follow me, So

181
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:43,040
Speaker 1: we need to, you know what I mean, shake some

182
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,240
Speaker 1: dolls and tap on some window, you know what I mean,

183
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 1: and make sure everything we paid for is working. And

184
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:49,440
Speaker 1: so we'll have nine months to do that.

185
00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:50,280
Speaker 4: That's a beautiful thing.

186
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:53,200
Speaker 2: And you know that's an actual real thing, because you

187
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 2: can even have a home and not use the bathroom

188
00:09:56,320 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 2: that's on the other side of the house and the

189
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,040
Speaker 2: pipe bust y'all a sudd We're like, oh, I ain't

190
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,320
Speaker 2: even use this. Yes, that's definitely a beautiful thing. Do

191
00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 2: you foresee that the government or the state will try

192
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,640
Speaker 2: to give you some arrested development and getting into the.

193
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: I anticipate that my YouTube being struggle streaming as haters

194
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:25,480
Speaker 1: are gonna lay some traps. The government, They're gonna lay

195
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:28,840
Speaker 1: a few traps, but I think they depend on the

196
00:10:28,880 --> 00:10:31,839
Speaker 1: YouTube being struggle streamers to feed them. I think they

197
00:10:31,840 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: want them to feed them because that's what they normally do.

198
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,240
Speaker 1: They feed them what they think I'm doing wrong, and

199
00:10:37,280 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 1: then the government kind of follows up with them. So

200
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,240
Speaker 1: we're probably gonna get some stuff, you know. I anticipate,

201
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:49,160
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know, some LGBT, some white, some

202
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 1: I don't know what it's going to be, whether it

203
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 1: with the applications, whether it's gonna be with uh.

204
00:10:57,040 --> 00:10:59,400
Speaker 3: Applications for work, for staff, for students.

205
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,200
Speaker 1: Anticipate them nonsine, right, Yeah, but you know what I

206
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,320
Speaker 1: told people when they asked me whether or not. You know,

207
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:05,959
Speaker 1: LGBT students will be.

208
00:11:05,880 --> 00:11:06,800
Speaker 3: Allowed in the school.

209
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:10,400
Speaker 1: From where I stand, with my background in psychology, I

210
00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,520
Speaker 1: don't really see our children as LGBT.

211
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:14,520
Speaker 3: I see them as being confused.

212
00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:16,800
Speaker 1: So all I have to do is educate the boys

213
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: as boys and educate the girls as girls, and everything

214
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:20,839
Speaker 1: else will work itself out.

215
00:11:20,920 --> 00:11:23,000
Speaker 3: So will they be allowed. Sure, they will be allowed

216
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 3: because I don't see them as LGBT. That maybe how

217
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:28,880
Speaker 3: they see themselves. But I believe we can correct any

218
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,960
Speaker 3: of the indoctrination, any of the nonsense that has been

219
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:34,200
Speaker 3: put into the minds of our children, because I believe

220
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:38,480
Speaker 3: that when the Creator gave birth to African people as

221
00:11:38,520 --> 00:11:42,200
Speaker 3: the first people, you know, as the chosen people, we

222
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 3: are designed to lean towards the truth.

223
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,679
Speaker 1: We don't always lean towards the truth, but we're designed

224
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:52,040
Speaker 1: to lead towards the truth.

225
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:53,800
Speaker 3: And with our children.

226
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: Being the most innocent and most inexperienced sector of our community,

227
00:11:58,440 --> 00:12:03,160
Speaker 1: once we give them that raw, all unapologetically African centered culture,

228
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: that raw spiritual culture, that raw history, that raw Pan Africanism,

229
00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:10,920
Speaker 1: he ain't gonna want to be nothing other than a

230
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:13,439
Speaker 1: boy and the young ladies. When we open up the

231
00:12:13,520 --> 00:12:16,120
Speaker 1: Girls Academy. They're not gonna want to be anything other

232
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:17,400
Speaker 1: than some beautiful young women.

233
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:19,720
Speaker 2: That's some beautiful thing she needs to fix.

234
00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:21,400
Speaker 3: Your sure, come on that point.

235
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:24,760
Speaker 4: I'm sorry about this, you guys.

236
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 2: You know we gotta make sure the audio is always

237
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 2: top tier.

238
00:12:49,640 --> 00:12:52,679
Speaker 3: That gonna help you out there. You can stay a

239
00:12:52,679 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 3: little longer though you kind of curve.

240
00:12:56,559 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 4: Shut up.

241
00:12:59,000 --> 00:12:59,640
Speaker 3: Five five.

242
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 2: We know what you like too. Don't act like you

243
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 2: know a lot of time you like to run from

244
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:05,520
Speaker 2: like man, you.

245
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,280
Speaker 4: Know, let's talk about that first of all.

246
00:13:07,320 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 3: What's up?

247
00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 4: You know last year I.

248
00:13:09,440 --> 00:13:13,000
Speaker 2: Had you here and I talked to you about beloved Sukiyana.

249
00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 4: Yes, and we had a communication.

250
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:17,360
Speaker 2: You say, you know, you know I meet.

251
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 1: People where they are.

252
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 4: Yes, I'm a man myself.

253
00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:26,679
Speaker 2: Your interaction with Suki Yanna, it lends me some information

254
00:13:26,760 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 2: that I want to try to ask you to clarify.

255
00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 2: Is there anything that you are attracted to when it

256
00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,280
Speaker 2: comes to the beautiful Sukianna.

257
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:42,840
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what attracts me to Sukihanna. She is

258
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:49,640
Speaker 1: a completely different woman off the television set. When we

259
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:58,640
Speaker 1: had dinner, that conversation was so pure, so innocent, so honest.

260
00:14:00,440 --> 00:14:05,440
Speaker 1: I almost forgot who I was having dinner with. So

261
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,000
Speaker 1: what she does on television, although I don't condone it,

262
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 1: it's a persona behind all of that is a beautiful woman.

263
00:14:16,160 --> 00:14:20,840
Speaker 1: And I hope before it's too late that she turns

264
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,120
Speaker 1: the corner, because she has a lot to offer our

265
00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 1: community if she can come back over to this side,

266
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,360
Speaker 1: you know, that's my hope. I wanted to come back

267
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,400
Speaker 1: over to this side. What does too late look like,

268
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: I don't know. But what I do know is in

269
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:41,480
Speaker 1: the world of entertainment, when you start to get on

270
00:14:41,520 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 1: the other side of forty, right, that's your golden years

271
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,080
Speaker 1: in entertainment.

272
00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:48,840
Speaker 3: Black don't crack, as you know.

273
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,680
Speaker 1: But when our sisters good on the other side of forty,

274
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,040
Speaker 1: when they're in the show business industry, that's when the

275
00:14:55,160 --> 00:14:58,160
Speaker 1: views and everything can begin to slow down, you know.

276
00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: And I want her to make that shift before she

277
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:02,960
Speaker 1: gets there. She got some time before she gets there,

278
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,200
Speaker 1: but I want her to make the shift while she's

279
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: still on top, still commanding an audience. Do right, while

280
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,880
Speaker 1: you're still under the light. Do you think that.

281
00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:19,360
Speaker 2: Some of your audiences, I believe, is not as open

282
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,800
Speaker 2: minded to that subject as you.

283
00:15:21,240 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: I agree very judgment right. In fact, the Black consciousness

284
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: community might be more judgmental than the Christian Church. The

285
00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: Black conscious community might be more judgmental than the Islamic

286
00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:37,160
Speaker 1: mash Gen. They might be more judgmental than some of

287
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 1: our Hebrew Israelite brothers. We're very judgmental and we're quick

288
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 1: to condemn in Black consciousness, which I think is one

289
00:15:46,320 --> 00:15:49,240
Speaker 1: of the misgivings of the culture because despite all the

290
00:15:49,320 --> 00:15:52,760
Speaker 1: knowledge and information we've given people on the flip side,

291
00:15:52,840 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 1: we're very quick to judge by appearances. So for example,

292
00:15:57,280 --> 00:15:59,640
Speaker 1: I want all Black women natural, right, and one day

293
00:15:59,640 --> 00:16:02,480
Speaker 1: every in here who not naturally gonna be natural. Okay,

294
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,840
Speaker 1: But I'm still gonna accept my sisters who not natural.

295
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,479
Speaker 1: They not gonna get judged, They not gonna feel uncomfortable.

296
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna run them out the room, because I

297
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: know there's no compulsion in consciousness. People come to consciousness

298
00:16:18,640 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: on their own terms. You cannot force it. I've had

299
00:16:22,480 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 1: sisters who I never thought would go natural bro who

300
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:27,480
Speaker 1: show up to me one day at an event and say,

301
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:31,440
Speaker 1: doctor Umar, look, brothers who I never thought would stop

302
00:16:31,440 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: bunny hopping, and they show up one day, and they'll

303
00:16:34,920 --> 00:16:37,520
Speaker 1: show up one day with a black woman. Proud look, Doc,

304
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:40,000
Speaker 1: I finally did. I'm like, I gave up on that brother.

305
00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 1: I thought he was done. He shows up six years

306
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:45,800
Speaker 1: later with a beautiful, dark skin chocolate queen. Right. So

307
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 1: I had to learn that we can't expect people to

308
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,720
Speaker 1: change when we want them to change, let them come

309
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: in their own term. Look at el haij Maley Kelshiabaz

310
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 1: Malcolm X. He was raised in a Garvey family. His

311
00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: father was a leader of the Garvey movement. In fact,

312
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:05,360
Speaker 1: it was Malcolm's father who put pressure on President Calvin

313
00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: Coolidge to exonerate Marcus Garvey. Malcolm's father did that, but

314
00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,920
Speaker 1: after the father passed and the mother was institutionalized, Malcolm

315
00:17:13,960 --> 00:17:15,400
Speaker 1: went wayward for a long time.

316
00:17:15,680 --> 00:17:17,640
Speaker 3: But did he end up back to consciousness.

317
00:17:17,880 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: Yes, in the last year of his life he ended

318
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,760
Speaker 1: right back with Garvey's Pan Africanism. You got to give

319
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: people time to make the mistakes that karma requires in

320
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,080
Speaker 1: order for us to learn from our experiences.

321
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,119
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, that's a beautiful that's a beautiful thing. I

322
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: want to ask you about Steve Harvey. Yes, sir, uncle Steve,

323
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:47,840
Speaker 2: there was after the Democratic National Convention. I believe he

324
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:51,520
Speaker 2: came out in support of Kamala Harris. Yes, you pushed

325
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:55,359
Speaker 2: back and said that you received a phone call or

326
00:17:55,440 --> 00:18:00,159
Speaker 2: some sort of message communication that they were willing to

327
00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 2: give you some money to endorse Kamala.

328
00:18:02,480 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 3: Not to endorse, but to interview interview.

329
00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 2: Okay, okay, And so did you verify because as posted

330
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 2: it after that, they denied it.

331
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:15,040
Speaker 1: Well, no one from Kamala Harris's camp denied it.

332
00:18:15,080 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 2: They didn't Lord Charlemagne Breakfast Club. I thought they said

333
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,159
Speaker 2: that no one reached out. No, okay, no.

334
00:18:21,320 --> 00:18:23,479
Speaker 1: And the reason they can't because when you look at

335
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:27,359
Speaker 1: the DNC and the RNC, they're so large. Yes, they

336
00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,760
Speaker 1: have offices, you understand, So that means you got to

337
00:18:29,840 --> 00:18:32,760
Speaker 1: check with every office to see if nobody reached out

338
00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: the doctor Umar, To be honest with you, I thought

339
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:35,560
Speaker 1: it was.

340
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 3: A normal thing. I'm an influencer.

341
00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,320
Speaker 1: He has the voice of young Black America, throwing fifteen

342
00:18:43,359 --> 00:18:47,240
Speaker 1: grand for the interview. But me being a political scientist,

343
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:51,959
Speaker 1: I know that money was to soften the questions. I

344
00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:54,919
Speaker 1: know that money was to kind of show her in

345
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,639
Speaker 1: a good light. And what I told them was, we

346
00:18:57,720 --> 00:19:00,800
Speaker 1: can do it, but it must be live. It cannot

347
00:19:00,840 --> 00:19:03,560
Speaker 1: be edited and it must be direct to the people.

348
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: They did hit me back a second or third time,

349
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:07,920
Speaker 1: but then they kind of fell off after I made

350
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:08,840
Speaker 1: those demands.

351
00:19:09,080 --> 00:19:10,240
Speaker 3: I believe it was legitimate.

352
00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:12,440
Speaker 2: Do you have did you have a point of contact

353
00:19:12,520 --> 00:19:14,680
Speaker 2: or yeah, the phone's still on my phone?

354
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: Yeow, yeah it's still So you not posted it because

355
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:19,560
Speaker 1: I wanted people to see, because you know me, anytime

356
00:19:19,560 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: I get anything underhand, I exposed it, just like people

357
00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: from Who's the the Kennedy brother who's running as an independent, Robert.

358
00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,960
Speaker 3: His team reached out a couple times.

359
00:19:29,160 --> 00:19:32,600
Speaker 1: They reached out his last campaign, they reached out this campaign,

360
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: and he decided to endorse Trump. And I was kind

361
00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:40,639
Speaker 1: of disappointed because you came to me seeking support and

362
00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,200
Speaker 1: then you end up on Trump team. So you really

363
00:19:43,320 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: wasn't about what you claim to have been. That's why

364
00:19:47,240 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 1: the Honible Marcus Garvey he never allowed us to endorse politicians.

365
00:19:53,600 --> 00:19:56,640
Speaker 1: You feel me, we do the way either way, good

366
00:19:56,720 --> 00:20:00,000
Speaker 1: or bad, black or white, we do not endorse politicians.

367
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 3: And the reason why brother Loon.

368
00:20:01,760 --> 00:20:05,080
Speaker 1: If Loon is running for mayor of Nashville, doctor Umar

369
00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:09,399
Speaker 1: publicly endorses lom Loon ends up selling out the people

370
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:15,120
Speaker 1: the damning of his reputation is automatically the damning of

371
00:20:15,119 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: my reputation. The quickest way for me to destroy the

372
00:20:18,119 --> 00:20:21,199
Speaker 1: respect and trust I have from our people is to

373
00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:24,760
Speaker 1: publicly support a candidate that the community does not finance.

374
00:20:25,240 --> 00:20:28,760
Speaker 2: Now, Steve Harvey response says, you can't pay Steve Harvey

375
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:33,359
Speaker 2: ten thousand dollars to do nothing. Right, He vehemently denied

376
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,919
Speaker 2: that he was offered money. Now, his endorsement, he says,

377
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:42,159
Speaker 2: is pure. His questions, he said, will be softball, but

378
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:43,879
Speaker 2: he didn't say he was paid for that.

379
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:46,520
Speaker 1: Do you think do you think that.

380
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:53,360
Speaker 2: Politicians have to give us anything outside of promises to

381
00:20:53,359 --> 00:20:56,120
Speaker 2: get us to vote for them, because okay.

382
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:58,000
Speaker 1: In fact, they don't even have to give us promises.

383
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: Because when it's the last presidential when who was the

384
00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:06,560
Speaker 1: last presidential candidate that promised black people anything? Black people

385
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:10,560
Speaker 1: vote because we are shamed into voting. There's something called

386
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: ancestral shaming. You know what ancestral streaming is. If you

387
00:21:15,520 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: don't vote, you turning your back on Fanny lou Haima.

388
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:21,360
Speaker 1: If you don't vote, you turning your back on Correta

389
00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:24,120
Speaker 1: Scott King. If you don't vote, you turning your back

390
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,000
Speaker 1: on Mega evers.

391
00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 4: If you don't.

392
00:21:25,560 --> 00:21:28,439
Speaker 1: Vote, you turning your back on doctor King and all

393
00:21:28,480 --> 00:21:33,200
Speaker 1: them ancestors who struggled and died and went to jail. No, Ninja,

394
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:35,640
Speaker 1: We're not turning our back on our ancestors.

395
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,160
Speaker 3: We're turning our back on a.

396
00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 1: Party that has consistently and repeatedly ignored the issues that

397
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:44,840
Speaker 1: affect black people. They do a lot of ancestral shaming.

398
00:21:45,119 --> 00:21:47,320
Speaker 1: But what they don't tell you is how the Democratic

399
00:21:47,359 --> 00:21:51,639
Speaker 1: Party undermined Fanny Lou Haima at the nineteen sixty eight convention.

400
00:21:51,880 --> 00:21:54,320
Speaker 1: What they don't tell you is how President Linda Baines

401
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: Johnson tapped the phones in the hotel where all the

402
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,720
Speaker 1: Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party members who can ain't with Fannylou

403
00:22:00,760 --> 00:22:02,840
Speaker 1: at Atlantic City where they stayed, that he had the

404
00:22:03,000 --> 00:22:05,440
Speaker 1: FBI spying on them so they can know everything that

405
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,760
Speaker 1: they were strategizing, so they can undermine them. Nobody tells

406
00:22:08,800 --> 00:22:12,440
Speaker 1: you how the Democratic Party treated Fanny Lou. They kept

407
00:22:12,440 --> 00:22:16,240
Speaker 1: mentioning her name at the DNC as if they upheld

408
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:17,000
Speaker 1: her in her day.

409
00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:17,679
Speaker 3: No, they didn't.

410
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:20,040
Speaker 1: They treated that woman like she was less than dirt,

411
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:22,320
Speaker 1: and they got the nerve to use that ancestors name

412
00:22:22,440 --> 00:22:24,560
Speaker 1: to try to make it look like the Democratic Party

413
00:22:24,800 --> 00:22:27,320
Speaker 1: is the party of blacks. Here's my thing to Uncle Steve.

414
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,399
Speaker 1: And I like Steve Harvey. E bougie, coolish, but I

415
00:22:30,520 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: like him. Okay, when Steve said he wasn't paid, I

416
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:40,960
Speaker 1: believe him. But you know what, he didn't say that

417
00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: his network did not receive compensation. You're not gonna tell

418
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:48,359
Speaker 1: me that the Steve Harvey Show, or the D. L.

419
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: Hugley Show, or the Ricky Smiley Show sits on a

420
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,679
Speaker 1: white platform. And these white folks who are all about money,

421
00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:00,320
Speaker 1: knowing Kamala raised thirty million in one night us with

422
00:23:00,359 --> 00:23:02,639
Speaker 1: black folks, and you're going to sit up here and

423
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:05,800
Speaker 1: endorse this woman freely all through your show. And you

424
00:23:05,840 --> 00:23:08,360
Speaker 1: think though white folks ain't calling her campaign office saying

425
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: y'all owe us some money. He may not have taken

426
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,119
Speaker 1: no money, but that white platform. Me on, they damn

427
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:15,600
Speaker 1: sure getting paid for Kamala.

428
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:15,960
Speaker 3: Harrison, right.

429
00:23:16,320 --> 00:23:18,679
Speaker 2: And you know I like Steve as well. You know

430
00:23:18,720 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 2: I've been around him a few times, had conversations with him.

431
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 2: But there is a historical context, you know what I'm

432
00:23:25,280 --> 00:23:28,919
Speaker 2: saying that we have to examine when it comes to Democrats,

433
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 2: any of them and our people. But I also think

434
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,720
Speaker 2: that when Steve Harvey, because you got to remember twenty seventeen,

435
00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,600
Speaker 2: he went in Holladay Trump, Yes he did, and I

436
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,399
Speaker 2: think we gave him a lot of backlash about that.

437
00:23:44,600 --> 00:23:47,320
Speaker 1: And we shouldn't have Yeah, because you should meet with

438
00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,600
Speaker 1: both sides because neither are your friend. See when black

439
00:23:50,640 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: people in DL Hugley in particular, shamed Steve Harvey for

440
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: meeting for Trump in seventeen, I took issue with that.

441
00:23:58,040 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: I said, you're supposed to meet with both parties and

442
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:02,480
Speaker 1: see what you're going to get. But black people have

443
00:24:02,640 --> 00:24:06,960
Speaker 1: this loving relationship with the Democratic Party. You're so in

444
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,960
Speaker 1: love with this side who's never done nothing for you,

445
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:13,040
Speaker 1: that you won't even have a conversation with the other side.

446
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 4: Who else does that?

447
00:24:14,640 --> 00:24:18,160
Speaker 1: What other ethnic group in America is married to one

448
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,960
Speaker 1: party or the other? Are there Asians married to one

449
00:24:20,960 --> 00:24:23,640
Speaker 1: party or the other? Are the Latinos married to one

450
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:26,560
Speaker 1: party or the other? Are the a Rabs married to

451
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:29,560
Speaker 1: one party or the other? Absolutely not? So why should

452
00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:31,920
Speaker 1: black people be married to one party.

453
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:32,200
Speaker 3: Or the other.

454
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:36,080
Speaker 1: And mind you, we've been voting Democrat, y'all for eighty

455
00:24:36,160 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 1: eight years consistently, Not no thirty some people say for

456
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:42,520
Speaker 1: the last thirty. No, this goes back to the nineteen

457
00:24:42,640 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 1: thirty six election Franklin Delano Roosevelt. In fact, even though

458
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: Roosevelt lost the nineteen thirty two election, that was the

459
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,360
Speaker 1: first big shift we saw of black people away from

460
00:24:53,359 --> 00:24:56,520
Speaker 1: the Republican Party towards the Democratic Party. That was the

461
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,520
Speaker 1: election of thirty two. That was the election of thirty two.

462
00:25:00,080 --> 00:25:03,360
Speaker 1: But in thirty six, that's when black folks have consistently

463
00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:06,960
Speaker 1: and continuously switched from Republican to Democrat. So this is

464
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,240
Speaker 1: an eighty eight year phenomenon. You understand me, almost a century?

465
00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: What have we gotten for being so loyal for one party?

466
00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,880
Speaker 1: And let us be clear, the Democrats in the Republicans

467
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: have the same vision for Black America extermination. The only

468
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,840
Speaker 1: thing they differ on is strategy and tactic. I need

469
00:25:25,920 --> 00:25:30,159
Speaker 1: us to understand that strategy and tactic, the vision is

470
00:25:30,280 --> 00:25:33,440
Speaker 1: the same. The only thing they differ on how do we.

471
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:37,399
Speaker 2: Get I mean, what should we ask for people like

472
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:42,080
Speaker 2: Steve Harvey? What should they be getting for Kamala Harris endorsement?

473
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 1: Honestly, because most of our celebrities are controlled in finance

474
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:52,280
Speaker 1: through the white power structure. The best thing they could

475
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:55,320
Speaker 1: probably do for me is shut up and sit down.

476
00:25:57,080 --> 00:26:00,119
Speaker 1: I don't want them as spokespersons. You're not not How

477
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:02,760
Speaker 1: was your bold enough to represent us? You're not loyal

478
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:05,960
Speaker 1: and passionate enough to articulate our concession.

479
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 2: But don't we need them to activate voters? I mean,

480
00:26:09,080 --> 00:26:12,240
Speaker 2: don't we need involvement in the political process.

481
00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: Look at all the grassroots activists we have in Tennessee,

482
00:26:16,200 --> 00:26:23,680
Speaker 1: from Memphis, the Chattanooga to Nashville. Why would you need

483
00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,959
Speaker 1: a celebrity from now? Why would you need Eddie George

484
00:26:27,119 --> 00:26:30,200
Speaker 1: hypothetically hit a coach of TSU who I respect.

485
00:26:30,440 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 3: I'm just using them as an example.

486
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,240
Speaker 1: Why would you need Eddie George to be the voice

487
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: of black people in Tennessee where you have all these

488
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: grassroots activists? You know why you would want a celebrity

489
00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: because if I use a grassroots activist who has nothing

490
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 1: to lose, they're going to tell nothing but the truth.

491
00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:53,439
Speaker 1: I don't want that conversation because I don't plan to

492
00:26:53,480 --> 00:26:55,639
Speaker 1: do nothing for black people. So when I want to

493
00:26:55,680 --> 00:27:00,440
Speaker 1: hear about the black reality, I want someone who's so comfortable,

494
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:05,960
Speaker 1: so well paid, so well placed, so well celebrated, that

495
00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,760
Speaker 1: he wouldn't dare say the wrong thing because he can't

496
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:12,959
Speaker 1: afford to lose his status. The reason the celebrities are

497
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:17,040
Speaker 1: the new black bourgeois is we no longer have college

498
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:22,000
Speaker 1: educated bourgeoise who we lean on. There's no more Andrew Young's,

499
00:27:22,280 --> 00:27:25,800
Speaker 1: there's no more Tavis Smiley's. Cornell West don't have the

500
00:27:25,880 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 1: same shine anymore. So with the twenty first century loan

501
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:33,280
Speaker 1: with the turn of the century, y two K that

502
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:38,600
Speaker 1: switched the black bourgeois from being your black professionals, your

503
00:27:38,720 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: n DOUBACP presidents, your fraternity and sorority leaders that went

504
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,359
Speaker 1: to the wayside. Why because black youth don't listen to

505
00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:51,080
Speaker 1: them the way their parents did. Nobody thirty years old

506
00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:53,760
Speaker 1: gives a damn about what Cornell West thinks or the

507
00:27:53,800 --> 00:27:56,720
Speaker 1: president of the NAACP thinks. And I love Cornell West,

508
00:27:56,760 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: don't get me wrong. He is a sand bunny hopper,

509
00:27:59,080 --> 00:28:04,160
Speaker 1: but that's another time, okay. But nonetheless they don't care.

510
00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:07,480
Speaker 1: So we want to control the youth. We got to

511
00:28:07,520 --> 00:28:10,040
Speaker 1: control them through the people they listen to. But I

512
00:28:10,080 --> 00:28:13,320
Speaker 1: think that makes sense, though it don't make sense because

513
00:28:13,359 --> 00:28:17,120
Speaker 1: the entertainers are more controlled by the white power structure

514
00:28:17,280 --> 00:28:19,720
Speaker 1: that you and I could ever be. Look at what

515
00:28:19,800 --> 00:28:23,119
Speaker 1: they make, Look how much they make, and more important,

516
00:28:23,359 --> 00:28:26,520
Speaker 1: look who they make it from. When I saw Lebron

517
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:31,280
Speaker 1: James go public when Israel invaded Gaza and Lebron James

518
00:28:31,280 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: issue the statement and he said that I stand with Israel. Now,

519
00:28:36,520 --> 00:28:39,200
Speaker 1: you're supposed to be an activist, Lebron James, and I

520
00:28:39,280 --> 00:28:41,600
Speaker 1: respect you him and Bronnie. I love seeing them on

521
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: the court together. I love that father son situation as

522
00:28:44,600 --> 00:28:49,240
Speaker 1: long as I don't catch Bronni bunny hop it. But nonetheless, Lebron,

523
00:28:51,080 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: how can you, as a black man, with all we've

524
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: been through, all we've been through, how could you dare

525
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:59,400
Speaker 1: go public and stand with Israel in their genocide against

526
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 1: the policy a people. Lebron James was wrong for that,

527
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: but he had no choice because his dealings with that

528
00:29:06,520 --> 00:29:10,960
Speaker 1: community financially dictated that he's staying with Israel.

529
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 4: Man, that's you believe that, I know it.

530
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,040
Speaker 2: So you think you think that Lebron is controlled all

531
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:18,640
Speaker 2: of them?

532
00:29:18,840 --> 00:29:19,440
Speaker 4: Who ain't?

533
00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:23,520
Speaker 1: The question ain't who is? The question is who isn't controlled?

534
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,600
Speaker 2: Do you think there's enough that you get enough money, power,

535
00:29:26,680 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 2: well finances, or resources to to break free.

536
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:33,920
Speaker 3: Who do you think made Lebron James a billionaire last year?

537
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 3: Thank you? The untouchables be untouched?

538
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, but we're gonna get to dinny yah. Hold on,

539
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:44,920
Speaker 1: we're gonna get to dinner.

540
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 4: But so so, but so you think that there's no

541
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 4: way to break.

542
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:55,360
Speaker 1: Free if you're willing to lose everything that you got.

543
00:29:55,920 --> 00:29:58,440
Speaker 2: So you saying that you can't keep your power in

544
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:00,400
Speaker 2: your money and be free.

545
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:05,720
Speaker 1: Not if you made it through them. Lebron didn't become

546
00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:10,200
Speaker 1: a billionaire through the Nigro leagues, you understand. He became

547
00:30:10,240 --> 00:30:15,719
Speaker 1: a billionaire through the NBA, who has what the largest percentage.

548
00:30:15,360 --> 00:30:18,240
Speaker 3: Of untouchables as team owners.

549
00:30:18,520 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 1: They own the NBA, and therefore they own him.

550
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 4: I don't know, Doc, I don't know.

551
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:31,160
Speaker 3: This is the reality we're living in.

552
00:30:31,200 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: Brother.

553
00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 3: It is not the hard argument.

554
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:38,360
Speaker 1: Listen, listen. Under slavery, the black man was a commodity

555
00:30:38,800 --> 00:30:42,400
Speaker 1: to be owned and traded. So while we're value, let

556
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:46,680
Speaker 1: me finish there. Our value was contingent on how much

557
00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:51,560
Speaker 1: we could physically produce for the plantation. When you look

558
00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:54,760
Speaker 1: at the NFL, when you look at the NBA, when

559
00:30:54,800 --> 00:30:58,240
Speaker 1: you look at our Olympic athletes, I'll ask you the question,

560
00:30:58,800 --> 00:31:02,120
Speaker 1: has there been any chance or modification in the way

561
00:31:02,160 --> 00:31:06,200
Speaker 1: the power structure judges the value of a black man's life?

562
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:09,360
Speaker 1: Are we still not judge for how much we can

563
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:13,600
Speaker 1: output physically? The basketball player, the football player, the Olympic

564
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,080
Speaker 1: track star. You're only worth as much as you can

565
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,240
Speaker 1: be used by the power structure. The only difference between

566
00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: a slave of two hundred years ago and the slave

567
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,880
Speaker 1: of today is the slave of today is well compensated,

568
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:31,600
Speaker 1: but he has no more power than his ancestor had

569
00:31:31,600 --> 00:31:33,760
Speaker 1: on the plantation two hundred years.

570
00:31:33,560 --> 00:31:35,920
Speaker 2: So black people's money doesn't have power.

571
00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:40,920
Speaker 1: No, it can be converted into power, but no celebrity

572
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:42,280
Speaker 1: is going to risk doing that.

573
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:43,280
Speaker 3: See here's the thing.

574
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: When you hear about a celebrity getting an endorsement deal

575
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:51,240
Speaker 1: from a Caucasian company, that endorsement deal is a slave shackle.

576
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:55,440
Speaker 1: It binds your mouth shut to the things that matter

577
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: to your people. When you hear these rappers, I got

578
00:31:58,160 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: an endorsement deal over here and endorsement deal over here.

579
00:32:01,600 --> 00:32:05,000
Speaker 1: That's why I respect Jalen Brown of the Boston Celtics.

580
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: He wouldn't take it he came out with his own sneaker.

581
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,160
Speaker 1: I believe Kyrie now has his own sneaker. Nike cut him,

582
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:14,160
Speaker 1: he said, don't come back to me after the drama.

583
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:16,720
Speaker 1: Keep the same energy. I'm going to go in this

584
00:32:16,840 --> 00:32:21,520
Speaker 1: direction because the more you represent brands that are not

585
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 1: sensitive to the black agenda is the further away you

586
00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,800
Speaker 1: are from being loyal to the community.

587
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,040
Speaker 2: So what is the money for.

588
00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 3: Are you free?

589
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 1: Yes, because I have no attachments at all to the

590
00:32:35,800 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 1: white power structure, brown power structure, yellow power structure, red

591
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,200
Speaker 1: power structure, gave power structure.

592
00:32:41,400 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 3: I'm completely free.

593
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:47,000
Speaker 2: When your school gets open, it has attachment to the government.

594
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 3: No, sir, because we don't have the file up.

595
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 2: But you have to file to even be operating through

596
00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 2: the state, correct.

597
00:32:53,240 --> 00:32:55,960
Speaker 1: So you have to stay in compliance legally. That's not

598
00:32:56,080 --> 00:32:58,440
Speaker 1: the same as being provided.

599
00:32:57,920 --> 00:33:01,440
Speaker 2: For Nah nah, I'm not telling let me handle this please,

600
00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 2: surely not being but right. But what I'm saying, though,

601
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 2: is is that you still have to operate in that

602
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 2: system that you're saying black people can't.

603
00:33:12,760 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 3: Because we live in the country. It's no getting out.

604
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,280
Speaker 1: Of that following right here we go now, but here

605
00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,080
Speaker 1: you go following rules. Loom is it the same as

606
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,800
Speaker 1: being subsidized by Yeah?

607
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:28,440
Speaker 2: But but but getting money through that power structure comes

608
00:33:28,480 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 2: with rules that you must follow.

609
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:31,440
Speaker 3: I'm not getting no money through the power, but.

610
00:33:31,480 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: You're still following rules.

611
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 2: So ifn right, So if Lebron's following rules, you're following.

612
00:33:37,200 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: Ron is financed right by Caucasian.

613
00:33:40,920 --> 00:33:43,959
Speaker 2: So that's why he's following rules. Yeah, I'm dealing with

614
00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:47,360
Speaker 2: the action. Both of you guys are following rules, okay

615
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:49,800
Speaker 2: in this In this scenario absolutely.

616
00:33:49,960 --> 00:33:55,200
Speaker 1: The difference is I'm following procedural guidelines in order to

617
00:33:55,400 --> 00:34:00,240
Speaker 1: operate legally, the same as anybody else in the societ.

618
00:34:00,720 --> 00:34:05,240
Speaker 1: Lebron James has been financed at a level greater than

619
00:34:05,280 --> 00:34:08,720
Speaker 1: most people in the society. Therefore, his freedom of action

620
00:34:08,920 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 1: is restricted. Subsidy is not the same as obedience to law.

621
00:34:14,840 --> 00:34:16,439
Speaker 1: He subsidized.

622
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,640
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I don't know if that suspends it, because

623
00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:20,880
Speaker 2: it's completely different.

624
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,680
Speaker 1: Doing what you gotta do so you don't go to

625
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:27,279
Speaker 1: jail is completely different from doing what you gotta do

626
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,360
Speaker 1: so you don't lose your money.

627
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:31,680
Speaker 2: But you'll do what you have to do not to

628
00:34:31,719 --> 00:34:34,840
Speaker 2: lose your money. Right, my money belonged to the people.

629
00:34:35,080 --> 00:34:36,880
Speaker 2: I don't care about No, Damney, don't hit me with

630
00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 2: that shit again.

631
00:34:37,760 --> 00:34:38,800
Speaker 3: Umar, No, I'm.

632
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:41,920
Speaker 1: Telling you the truth. They can't control me with no money.

633
00:34:42,120 --> 00:34:44,120
Speaker 4: They already not control you with money.

634
00:34:44,120 --> 00:34:46,440
Speaker 2: But you're doing things not to lose the money the

635
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:51,040
Speaker 2: same way lebron is. Just so you're telling me that

636
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:54,000
Speaker 2: you're just wide open reckless, you don't care about the money.

637
00:34:54,080 --> 00:35:00,920
Speaker 1: I wouldn't say reckless, I would say revolutionary. Well, that

638
00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,120
Speaker 1: makes sense, but I still don't believe.

639
00:35:03,360 --> 00:35:05,440
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm wondering what does that say to the

640
00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:08,720
Speaker 2: young black boy like that wants to utilize the NBA

641
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:13,600
Speaker 2: or utilize some of those systems to gain financial freedom and.

642
00:35:13,600 --> 00:35:14,560
Speaker 4: Try to break free.

643
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:17,000
Speaker 2: You're basically telling the young black boy that there's no

644
00:35:17,080 --> 00:35:17,960
Speaker 2: way to break free.

645
00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:20,799
Speaker 1: I lie to you, not, brother, and I say it

646
00:35:20,800 --> 00:35:23,759
Speaker 1: to the audience here in my Nashville family. If I

647
00:35:23,800 --> 00:35:28,000
Speaker 1: had the power to strip every black male and female

648
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:32,440
Speaker 1: student athlete of their God given skill, I would do

649
00:35:32,520 --> 00:35:36,560
Speaker 1: it right now because the money that they're making with

650
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:41,440
Speaker 1: their God given and ancestral given talents are not benefiting us.

651
00:35:41,800 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 1: Look at all the snow bunnies who are getting rich

652
00:35:44,880 --> 00:35:47,640
Speaker 1: off these black men going to the league. So we

653
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:52,640
Speaker 1: don't benefit. How has the NBA benefited Black America? How

654
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:57,400
Speaker 1: has the NFL benefited Black America? How has hip hop culture?

655
00:35:57,400 --> 00:36:00,560
Speaker 1: We're gonna get to the infitted Black America up. It

656
00:36:00,880 --> 00:36:03,879
Speaker 1: has not. So if I were in charge, there would

657
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,319
Speaker 1: be a moratorium on gangster rap. There would be a

658
00:36:06,360 --> 00:36:09,920
Speaker 1: moratorial when an NFL, NBA and Olympics. Ain't nobody playing

659
00:36:10,000 --> 00:36:13,200
Speaker 1: shit until we get our business back together. I don't.

660
00:36:13,239 --> 00:36:13,920
Speaker 4: I don't think that.

661
00:36:14,200 --> 00:36:16,600
Speaker 2: I don't think that's a small move though, I just

662
00:36:16,920 --> 00:36:18,600
Speaker 2: to strip every black boy of that.

663
00:36:18,719 --> 00:36:19,520
Speaker 1: God, do you know?

664
00:36:20,040 --> 00:36:23,160
Speaker 2: Do you know what people are gaining by going to

665
00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,400
Speaker 2: certain Ivy League colleges with scholarships and then getting.

666
00:36:27,160 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 1: Hurt before they get to the league.

667
00:36:28,800 --> 00:36:31,880
Speaker 3: You're giving me individualism. We're talking about group.

668
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,600
Speaker 2: Probably enough enough single people will make a group, though

669
00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:36,360
Speaker 2: uh huh.

670
00:36:36,480 --> 00:36:40,640
Speaker 1: They will make a group of talented tip bourgeois elitist ninjas.

671
00:36:40,800 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 4: We don't want that.

672
00:36:41,920 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: We want a progressive Black community. And you don't judge

673
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,799
Speaker 1: the condition of a people by ten nigros at the

674
00:36:47,840 --> 00:36:49,959
Speaker 1: top who take orders from Caucasians.

675
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:52,080
Speaker 2: It's people with more money than you, bougie.

676
00:36:52,120 --> 00:36:54,439
Speaker 1: Do you think that because I know you want who

677
00:36:54,520 --> 00:37:02,920
Speaker 1: wasn't Attorney O. J. Simpson's atten Ernie Johnny Cochran was

678
00:37:02,960 --> 00:37:06,160
Speaker 1: a man of financial means who was loyal to his people.

679
00:37:06,280 --> 00:37:09,120
Speaker 1: And you've had others throughout time. You understand, but you

680
00:37:09,160 --> 00:37:09,480
Speaker 1: don't have it.

681
00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,879
Speaker 2: But when you throw around bourgeois and all this here,

682
00:37:13,160 --> 00:37:14,680
Speaker 2: I need to not criteria.

683
00:37:14,840 --> 00:37:19,240
Speaker 1: I'm not speaking purely of income. I'm talking about income

684
00:37:19,480 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: and consciousness. I make this money and I do not

685
00:37:23,320 --> 00:37:27,959
Speaker 1: consider myself loyal to nor do I have any obligation

686
00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,400
Speaker 1: to the best interests of black people.

687
00:37:30,680 --> 00:37:32,439
Speaker 2: That is a bouge wise. How do you be loyal

688
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:34,799
Speaker 2: to black people? A millionaire? Give them, give them the game.

689
00:37:34,880 --> 00:37:38,279
Speaker 1: By a millionaire, you should be building an institution if you.

690
00:37:38,320 --> 00:37:41,040
Speaker 2: Are a millier, so nobody's loyal. You're the only one

691
00:37:41,080 --> 00:37:42,880
Speaker 2: that got to build an institution that I know.

692
00:37:43,239 --> 00:37:43,919
Speaker 3: Then guess what.

693
00:37:45,960 --> 00:37:47,160
Speaker 4: See this is what I mean.

694
00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:50,000
Speaker 2: How the hell do you be able to set the

695
00:37:50,040 --> 00:37:52,680
Speaker 2: standards like that to say when nobody's.

696
00:37:52,280 --> 00:37:54,320
Speaker 1: Loyal because they ain't doing what I meant.

697
00:37:56,640 --> 00:37:58,080
Speaker 4: I didn't tell you this, so okay.

698
00:37:58,440 --> 00:38:02,000
Speaker 1: What I'm saying is for me as a pan Africanist,

699
00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:06,840
Speaker 1: as a Black activist, as a follower of the teachings

700
00:38:06,880 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: of the most Honorable Marcus Messiah Gorvey. Our standard is

701
00:38:10,440 --> 00:38:14,360
Speaker 1: high for our people, why because our ancestors standard was

702
00:38:14,440 --> 00:38:18,080
Speaker 1: high for themselves. Look At what Thaniel Luhima had to

703
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:20,400
Speaker 1: go through for you and I to be on this stage.

704
00:38:20,560 --> 00:38:22,960
Speaker 1: Look At what a Frederick Douglass and a Market's gonna be.

705
00:38:22,960 --> 00:38:24,680
Speaker 1: Look at a Mega Evers and the Huey P.

706
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:25,080
Speaker 3: Newton.

707
00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,279
Speaker 1: Look at what they had to go through for us

708
00:38:27,320 --> 00:38:31,279
Speaker 1: to even be sitting here having this conversation in Nashville,

709
00:38:31,360 --> 00:38:35,960
Speaker 1: Tennessee of all places. Who am I to say that

710
00:38:36,160 --> 00:38:39,600
Speaker 1: I am not required to put forth the same level

711
00:38:39,640 --> 00:38:43,239
Speaker 1: of commitment as those who shoulders I stand on. I'm

712
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:48,280
Speaker 1: not giving you a new level of obligation. I'm bringing

713
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:51,719
Speaker 1: back the old level of obliging. Is this institution thing?

714
00:38:51,880 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 3: Like?

715
00:38:52,160 --> 00:38:54,000
Speaker 1: Is this a real idea?

716
00:38:54,200 --> 00:38:54,319
Speaker 3: Like?

717
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,560
Speaker 2: Is this something that can be materialized?

718
00:38:56,680 --> 00:38:59,120
Speaker 1: Don't Chinese have self sustaining institutions?

719
00:38:59,440 --> 00:39:01,320
Speaker 4: Don't you not? In America?

720
00:39:01,560 --> 00:39:03,680
Speaker 1: You find a China town in almost every major city,

721
00:39:03,760 --> 00:39:04,600
Speaker 1: especially I'm.

722
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,239
Speaker 2: Talking about I'm talking about the school inside of.

723
00:39:07,160 --> 00:39:08,399
Speaker 1: It, same thing.

724
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:12,160
Speaker 3: They have their own school. Yes, Okay, you see.

725
00:39:11,960 --> 00:39:14,560
Speaker 1: What I'm saying. Where is ours? Check it out?

726
00:39:14,880 --> 00:39:17,319
Speaker 3: You can't show me a black wall street in America.

727
00:39:17,480 --> 00:39:18,479
Speaker 3: You can't show me.

728
00:39:18,400 --> 00:39:19,800
Speaker 2: Once they Burnda down, then.

729
00:39:20,000 --> 00:39:21,520
Speaker 3: One hundred and four years ago.

730
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:23,880
Speaker 1: Why we ain't built the new one yet. You can't

731
00:39:23,880 --> 00:39:26,719
Speaker 1: show me one city where we own the home, excuse me,

732
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:29,839
Speaker 1: the bank, the school, the hospital, in the supermarket.

733
00:39:29,960 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 3: And you know what's sad. Look at all these billionaires

734
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:33,080
Speaker 3: we got.

735
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:36,759
Speaker 1: Even with billionaires, we don't have no industries for the community.

736
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:39,520
Speaker 1: Look at my sister Oprah. And I loved my sister open.

737
00:39:39,760 --> 00:39:42,759
Speaker 1: She came from nothing, from here, fromsues, and.

738
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:43,640
Speaker 3: Look what she became.

739
00:39:44,080 --> 00:39:47,680
Speaker 1: But don't you know, when I visited Tennessee State, maybe

740
00:39:47,680 --> 00:39:51,480
Speaker 1: two visits ago, I was interviewed at the station where

741
00:39:51,560 --> 00:39:55,360
Speaker 1: Oprah made her name. And I'm sitting there and I

742
00:39:55,400 --> 00:40:00,040
Speaker 1: couldn't help but say to myself, this station still it

743
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:05,120
Speaker 1: looks like what it probably looked like when Oprah sat here,

744
00:40:05,600 --> 00:40:08,120
Speaker 1: with all the white women you made rich on that

745
00:40:08,239 --> 00:40:12,080
Speaker 1: damn show, with all the doctor phils and others who

746
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,640
Speaker 1: you promoted to national prominence, You couldn't even give them

747
00:40:15,760 --> 00:40:19,239
Speaker 1: enough money to fix up the station. Oprah is the

748
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:23,200
Speaker 1: richest woman in the history of the North American continent.

749
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:26,120
Speaker 1: God forbid, if she go back to her ancestors, and

750
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,799
Speaker 1: we hope that's no time soon. But God forbid that

751
00:40:28,840 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 1: woman go back to our ancestors. Haven't done nothing significant.

752
00:40:32,080 --> 00:40:32,680
Speaker 3: For her race?

753
00:40:32,880 --> 00:40:34,240
Speaker 1: Do you think Oprah's done nothing?

754
00:40:34,840 --> 00:40:36,640
Speaker 3: Give me, give me something significant.

755
00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:40,839
Speaker 1: Scholarships don't countship, Tell me about something.

756
00:40:40,920 --> 00:40:49,760
Speaker 2: Oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. Hold on, hey, listen,

757
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:53,520
Speaker 2: we are recorded, so y'all, please, man, I know I

758
00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 2: told y'all to be involved, but we are recorded, like listen,

759
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:01,440
Speaker 2: So so Oprah, you telling me that Oprah has done

760
00:41:01,520 --> 00:41:03,560
Speaker 2: nothing and scholarships mean nothing.

761
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:04,880
Speaker 1: While you're working on a school.

762
00:41:05,160 --> 00:41:06,279
Speaker 4: Okay, let me understand that.

763
00:41:06,320 --> 00:41:09,480
Speaker 3: I'm gonna let you understand. Oprah built a grade school

764
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,360
Speaker 3: in South Africa. I love that. Those are my brothers

765
00:41:13,360 --> 00:41:13,960
Speaker 3: and sisters.

766
00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:18,160
Speaker 1: But as Pan Africanists, we believe you struggle at home

767
00:41:18,600 --> 00:41:22,400
Speaker 1: and you struggle abroad. You gave our South African family

768
00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,879
Speaker 1: a school they needed that. I love South Africa, but

769
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,640
Speaker 1: where is the one for the students in Nashville? You see,

770
00:41:29,960 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: that's my issue with Oprah.

771
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:33,239
Speaker 2: But you didn't answer the question, and that was a

772
00:41:33,239 --> 00:41:33,680
Speaker 2: good point.

773
00:41:34,400 --> 00:41:35,600
Speaker 3: Down to the scholarships.

774
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:36,640
Speaker 4: Yes, grade.

775
00:41:36,680 --> 00:41:40,200
Speaker 1: School is mandatory. It's obligatory in all fifty states. It's

776
00:41:40,239 --> 00:41:43,759
Speaker 1: no getting around it. College is optional. The reason why

777
00:41:43,760 --> 00:41:46,360
Speaker 1: I don't want Oprah and other rich blacks trying to

778
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,120
Speaker 1: get away with giving out scholarships and doing nothing else.

779
00:41:49,360 --> 00:41:52,960
Speaker 1: When you give a scholarship, you're giving money to either

780
00:41:53,320 --> 00:41:57,400
Speaker 1: a white institution and in many cases a white controlled

781
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:01,719
Speaker 1: black institution, and when that child dull graduates, there's no

782
00:42:01,880 --> 00:42:05,360
Speaker 1: guarantee of employment. When you look at the cost of

783
00:42:05,400 --> 00:42:08,200
Speaker 1: college right now, what is TSU a year in tuition?

784
00:42:08,320 --> 00:42:13,200
Speaker 1: Now twenty five So that's one hundred thousand dollars tuition,

785
00:42:13,320 --> 00:42:16,359
Speaker 1: not including room boarding the rest. Okay, what would be

786
00:42:16,360 --> 00:42:20,120
Speaker 1: better serving our children when we know more than half

787
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,920
Speaker 1: of blacks with college degrees can't find work, and most

788
00:42:23,920 --> 00:42:26,719
Speaker 1: of them don't work in the industry they receive their

789
00:42:26,760 --> 00:42:30,319
Speaker 1: degree in. Would we be better served with OPRAH giving

790
00:42:30,400 --> 00:42:33,960
Speaker 1: up one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for education or

791
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:37,000
Speaker 1: OPRAH giving up one hundred and fifty thousand dollars for

792
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:41,560
Speaker 1: a business startup grant. That money should be going into

793
00:42:41,760 --> 00:42:45,279
Speaker 1: business startup grants. In other words, go get your real

794
00:42:45,360 --> 00:42:47,319
Speaker 1: estate license. I'm gonna set you up with your first

795
00:42:47,360 --> 00:42:50,560
Speaker 1: office and your first business. Go get your plumbing. You're electric,

796
00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:54,600
Speaker 1: you understand. Go get your stocking investment, get your trade certificate,

797
00:42:54,680 --> 00:42:57,520
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna set you up with your startup business.

798
00:42:57,719 --> 00:43:02,880
Speaker 1: They should be financing entreprene newership, not education. The future

799
00:43:02,920 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 1: for Black America is not white man degrees. It is

800
00:43:06,880 --> 00:43:10,840
Speaker 1: businesses that we run and can employ our own. Small

801
00:43:10,960 --> 00:43:14,480
Speaker 1: businesses are the backbone of the American economy. And if

802
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:17,040
Speaker 1: they are the backbone of the American economy, they the

803
00:43:17,160 --> 00:43:20,560
Speaker 1: neck bone, chicken bone and with bone of the black community.

804
00:43:21,480 --> 00:43:22,480
Speaker 1: Let me ask you this.

805
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:27,399
Speaker 2: With you again, I still haven't I want to stay

806
00:43:27,440 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 2: on on this point. When a young black boy gets

807
00:43:31,960 --> 00:43:36,520
Speaker 2: out of FDMG school, he's not guaranteed employment either, Yes.

808
00:43:36,520 --> 00:43:36,799
Speaker 1: He is.

809
00:43:36,840 --> 00:43:37,319
Speaker 3: Through us.

810
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,200
Speaker 1: Our graduates will get small business loans from the school itself.

811
00:43:41,239 --> 00:43:42,319
Speaker 3: We're gonna set them up.

812
00:43:42,560 --> 00:43:44,479
Speaker 1: Now. If they want to go to college, we will

813
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:46,960
Speaker 1: support that. I'm not saying no child should go to college.

814
00:43:47,200 --> 00:43:49,680
Speaker 1: You're going to give every kid a small business.

815
00:43:50,000 --> 00:43:50,480
Speaker 3: That's our plan.

816
00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:52,439
Speaker 2: That's absolutely How do you plan on getting that done?

817
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:54,960
Speaker 3: We have a plan for that. We got a nice plan.

818
00:43:55,080 --> 00:43:57,640
Speaker 1: Yes see, no, no, no, no, no, no, I got

819
00:43:57,640 --> 00:44:00,319
Speaker 1: that down, and I got some celebrity friends. I ain't

820
00:44:00,360 --> 00:44:02,319
Speaker 1: calling them names, yeah yeah, yeah, but I got some

821
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:06,319
Speaker 1: multi millionaire celebrity friends who all know who said when

822
00:44:06,360 --> 00:44:08,440
Speaker 1: I need them, they're going to be there for me

823
00:44:08,640 --> 00:44:11,080
Speaker 1: after the school opens. They want to see the school open.

824
00:44:11,400 --> 00:44:12,759
Speaker 1: So I'm going to pick up the phone and reach

825
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,400
Speaker 1: out and tap on some of them brothers, because that's

826
00:44:14,400 --> 00:44:15,080
Speaker 1: gonna be a hard thing.

827
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 2: I mean, I guess for me, it's the same thing

828
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:20,840
Speaker 2: you're asking Steve Harvey to do with Kamala. You're asking

829
00:44:20,920 --> 00:44:24,040
Speaker 2: him to say, Hey, what do we get, what's going on?

830
00:44:24,239 --> 00:44:25,720
Speaker 1: What are you doing for black people?

831
00:44:26,080 --> 00:44:28,919
Speaker 2: I'm asking you that, Hey, if a black boy goes

832
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,480
Speaker 2: to your school, he's not guaranteed work.

833
00:44:31,520 --> 00:44:32,920
Speaker 1: You gotta answer for that.

834
00:44:32,960 --> 00:44:35,440
Speaker 2: Well, he's not guaranteed work, but we have business loans,

835
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,759
Speaker 2: and so at some point I do want to get

836
00:44:38,800 --> 00:44:41,280
Speaker 2: into that. Maybe not now, whenever you iron out those dps.

837
00:44:41,320 --> 00:44:45,360
Speaker 1: But you can't confuse us providing our graduates with a

838
00:44:45,400 --> 00:44:50,000
Speaker 1: business startup grant with an elective representative wanting votes without

839
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 1: giving anything in exchange.

840
00:44:52,120 --> 00:44:53,960
Speaker 2: What they're give me the same promises that you get.

841
00:44:54,040 --> 00:44:57,440
Speaker 1: No, it's completely different because one's job is to represent

842
00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:01,200
Speaker 1: the needs of the people. You understand, our job is

843
00:45:01,239 --> 00:45:04,280
Speaker 1: to educate our children, and as part of that education,

844
00:45:04,600 --> 00:45:07,719
Speaker 1: we're gonna provide them with those business startups when they graduate.

845
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:11,680
Speaker 1: We're not obligated to do it. She's obligated to represent

846
00:45:11,719 --> 00:45:14,320
Speaker 1: the people. Yes, but two different things right. One is

847
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:16,480
Speaker 1: an individ You just told me you were obligated.

848
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 2: Though you said you just told me my an What

849
00:45:19,760 --> 00:45:21,400
Speaker 2: don't matter why you obligated?

850
00:45:21,520 --> 00:45:24,640
Speaker 1: Yes, it does. No help y'all does listen because I

851
00:45:24,840 --> 00:45:25,560
Speaker 1: get arrested.

852
00:45:25,600 --> 00:45:27,320
Speaker 4: It don't matter. We both get arrested.

853
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,280
Speaker 2: We both all arrested, all right, So listen, help me understand.

854
00:45:31,320 --> 00:45:35,960
Speaker 1: If you're the roll behind your backs all Skywalker here,

855
00:45:35,960 --> 00:45:39,200
Speaker 1: you're gonna hollow you to Moses Malone, heay, Moses Malone

856
00:45:39,239 --> 00:45:41,920
Speaker 1: gonna go to do it a step past and Beyonce.

857
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:45,400
Speaker 1: Beyonce gonna do a double dip back dunk to Michael Jackson.

858
00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:47,920
Speaker 1: He's gonna roll it over to Garth Brooks. Garth Brook's

859
00:45:47,960 --> 00:45:49,640
Speaker 1: gonna take it to Lord of the Rings. Lord of

860
00:45:49,640 --> 00:45:54,600
Speaker 1: the Ring's gonna take So help me listen, understand.

861
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,439
Speaker 2: No, no, no, help me understand. Let's bring it back.

862
00:45:57,880 --> 00:46:02,440
Speaker 2: Help me understand. You're giving promises. Kamala is giving.

863
00:46:02,200 --> 00:46:06,920
Speaker 1: Promises children who graduate from the School's completely different from

864
00:46:06,960 --> 00:46:09,520
Speaker 1: being a president of the United States of a meland.

865
00:46:09,560 --> 00:46:12,880
Speaker 2: You keep giving me job titles. I'm talking about intentions.

866
00:46:13,040 --> 00:46:15,880
Speaker 2: I don't care about job titles. You're telling me that.

867
00:46:16,040 --> 00:46:19,279
Speaker 2: You just told me five minutes ago. I have a

868
00:46:19,360 --> 00:46:24,200
Speaker 2: certain Barama because of my ancestors. I'm obligated to stand

869
00:46:24,200 --> 00:46:26,400
Speaker 2: out on the hill and get these institutions done.

870
00:46:26,960 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 4: Right.

871
00:46:27,239 --> 00:46:28,239
Speaker 1: You just told me that.

872
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:31,839
Speaker 2: Then the next time, next sentence, you just told me, Well,

873
00:46:31,960 --> 00:46:35,160
Speaker 2: I'm obligated for a different reason. I'm not obligated because

874
00:46:35,560 --> 00:46:36,760
Speaker 2: in the same way that Steve.

875
00:46:36,560 --> 00:46:39,799
Speaker 1: Harvey is our students. Right, we're starting with second through

876
00:46:39,800 --> 00:46:43,120
Speaker 1: fourth grade. We won't have a graduating class for twelve years.

877
00:46:43,360 --> 00:46:46,200
Speaker 1: Kamala Harris wants your vote in about four weeks. What

878
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:47,400
Speaker 1: the hell we talking about?

879
00:46:47,719 --> 00:46:49,520
Speaker 2: It's still promises though it ain't.

880
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:49,799
Speaker 4: It ain't.

881
00:46:49,800 --> 00:46:53,960
Speaker 1: It's my point, I just if I gains no way

882
00:46:54,080 --> 00:46:57,080
Speaker 1: for you to know whether or not I'm going to

883
00:46:57,200 --> 00:47:00,840
Speaker 1: deliver until they graduate in eight years, and that's you

884
00:47:00,960 --> 00:47:04,520
Speaker 1: already know whether Kamala going to deliver because she's been

885
00:47:04,640 --> 00:47:08,120
Speaker 1: VP for four and it ain't gating you ish, that's true, But.

886
00:47:08,360 --> 00:47:11,760
Speaker 2: If she's making promises on the campaign trail, you also

887
00:47:11,840 --> 00:47:13,640
Speaker 2: have no way to know if she's going to deliver

888
00:47:13,920 --> 00:47:14,840
Speaker 2: until she's elected.

889
00:47:14,880 --> 00:47:17,319
Speaker 1: You are absolutely right, So what promise does she make

890
00:47:17,360 --> 00:47:19,480
Speaker 1: the black people so far on the campaign trail?

891
00:47:21,080 --> 00:47:23,560
Speaker 2: You're right, she hasn't made one that I've seen, and

892
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:24,439
Speaker 2: I could be wrong.

893
00:47:24,680 --> 00:47:25,680
Speaker 3: She don't go and make one.

894
00:47:25,840 --> 00:47:28,000
Speaker 2: So but you're saying she hasn't made one, and so

895
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:29,800
Speaker 2: my knowledge you heard something.

896
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:33,960
Speaker 1: I haven't heard anything. Kamala's mistake is she tried to

897
00:47:34,040 --> 00:47:37,120
Speaker 1: use the Baraco Obama racial identity strategy.

898
00:47:37,800 --> 00:47:39,840
Speaker 3: Problem is the people who.

899
00:47:39,640 --> 00:47:43,880
Speaker 1: Are sixteen when Obama became president, they thirty one thirty

900
00:47:43,880 --> 00:47:46,640
Speaker 1: two now and ain't not as gullible as their parents

901
00:47:46,680 --> 00:47:49,920
Speaker 1: and grandparents. They want more than your color of skin

902
00:47:50,040 --> 00:47:53,560
Speaker 1: as a reason to vote. See this whole issue about

903
00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:57,600
Speaker 1: Kamala being East Indian and not African would not even

904
00:47:57,640 --> 00:48:02,040
Speaker 1: be an issue, Loom if she didn't with racial identity

905
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:05,080
Speaker 1: as their primary reason for why you should vote for her.

906
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:08,040
Speaker 1: See when Steve Harvey kept saying she's a black woman,

907
00:48:08,160 --> 00:48:09,960
Speaker 1: why y'all don't want to see a black woman win?

908
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:11,960
Speaker 3: When d L and Ricky and Roland.

909
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:14,400
Speaker 1: When all them negro starts saying, y'all should want to

910
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:17,239
Speaker 1: see a black woman in office, and that's the only

911
00:48:17,320 --> 00:48:20,240
Speaker 1: thing y'all giving us is the color of her skin. Naturally,

912
00:48:20,239 --> 00:48:22,920
Speaker 1: people gonna say, well, time out, because I've seen her mom.

913
00:48:23,320 --> 00:48:26,240
Speaker 1: That lady clearly ain't black. When I look at the dad,

914
00:48:26,560 --> 00:48:29,520
Speaker 1: he looked a little coolish. So let's dig into this

915
00:48:29,600 --> 00:48:31,880
Speaker 1: a little bit. In other words, black people would have

916
00:48:31,920 --> 00:48:34,719
Speaker 1: never even dug into our ancestry, bro, and she would

917
00:48:34,719 --> 00:48:35,200
Speaker 1: have gave us.

918
00:48:35,160 --> 00:48:36,640
Speaker 3: Something other to look forward to.

919
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:40,239
Speaker 1: Donald Trump never said he was black. Joe Biden never

920
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:43,280
Speaker 1: said he was black. Bill Clinton never said he was black.

921
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:46,640
Speaker 1: You understand. So why introduced this if you know it's

922
00:48:46,680 --> 00:48:49,200
Speaker 1: not authentic. You know why she introduced it because she

923
00:48:49,320 --> 00:48:51,239
Speaker 1: had no intention of leading with policies.

924
00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:56,439
Speaker 2: I also heard you in that same time goal kind

925
00:48:56,440 --> 00:48:59,719
Speaker 2: of respond to Riky Smiley, and Ricky Smiley actually went

926
00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:03,840
Speaker 2: on here show and cried. He actually shed some tears.

927
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:07,440
Speaker 1: Because Joe Biden wrote him a personal letter. I believe

928
00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:10,759
Speaker 1: in one of his sons was ill. Okay, and see,

929
00:49:10,800 --> 00:49:14,280
Speaker 1: here's another mistake we make as African people. A white

930
00:49:14,320 --> 00:49:19,120
Speaker 1: person does something good for you, just you. And because

931
00:49:19,160 --> 00:49:23,279
Speaker 1: the white person did something good just for you, you

932
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:27,400
Speaker 1: think that means every black person has to sympathize with

933
00:49:27,480 --> 00:49:31,560
Speaker 1: this Caucasian because they did something good for you. Your

934
00:49:31,600 --> 00:49:35,640
Speaker 1: relationship with Joe Biden is your relationship with Joe Biden.

935
00:49:35,880 --> 00:49:39,000
Speaker 1: It doesn't obligate the other forty five million blacks in

936
00:49:39,040 --> 00:49:42,520
Speaker 1: America to be Joe Biden sympathizes. We got to stop

937
00:49:42,600 --> 00:49:45,879
Speaker 1: that nonsense. That's your white folks don't do that. White

938

Speaker 1: folks will do something for one black person and guess what,

939
00:49:50,719 --> 00:49:52,480
Speaker 1: or that black person would do something good for that

940
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,560
Speaker 1: one white person, and guess what. That white person has

941
00:49:55,600 --> 00:49:58,080
Speaker 1: no intention of telling any other white person that you

00:49:58,200 --> 00:49:59,960
Speaker 1: have to do right by this black are y'all following?

Speaker 1: for a white coworker and they never reciprocated, They never

945
00:50:05,960 --> 00:50:08,000
Speaker 1: told other white folks to take your back.

946
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:09,160
Speaker 3: They don't give a damn.

Speaker 1: and an East Indian vice president? And he tells us.

00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:22,000
Speaker 1: said yeah, I didn't like that. I love the Divine Nine,

965
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:25,680
Speaker 1: but don't feed us a symbol. And to that point,

966
00:51:25,719 --> 00:51:31,279
Speaker 1: I gotta throw this at the Divine nine. Y'all raised

967
00:51:31,560 --> 00:51:38,400
Speaker 1: thirty million dollars in one night, and all of them

968
00:51:38,880 --> 00:51:44,640
Speaker 1: come from black communities, without a single decent school, without

969
00:51:44,680 --> 00:51:48,759
Speaker 1: a single decent hospital, without a single bank that will

970
00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:52,120
Speaker 1: invest in our businesses, without a single decent place for

971
00:51:52,239 --> 00:51:54,879
Speaker 1: our mothers to get food to feed their children. Look

972
00:51:54,920 --> 00:51:58,279
Speaker 1: at what we did just for her to run, Just

973
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,600
Speaker 1: for her to run. You don't get the money back.

974
00:52:01,280 --> 00:52:05,000
Speaker 1: Thirty million in a night. That's at least five schools

975
00:52:05,080 --> 00:52:08,120
Speaker 1: right there. So we got the money, we just don't

976
00:52:08,160 --> 00:52:10,640
Speaker 1: care enough to invest in the future of our children.

977
00:52:11,480 --> 00:52:14,040
Speaker 2: Did you ever were you ever gonna join?

978
00:52:14,360 --> 00:52:18,799
Speaker 1: I was gonna join Omegasi Phi Fraternity Incorporated Harrisburg Grad

979
00:52:18,880 --> 00:52:21,880
Speaker 1: Chapter because we didn't have no cues at Millersville University

980
00:52:21,880 --> 00:52:26,880
Speaker 1: in Lancaster, and somebody hated on me and sent my

981
00:52:27,080 --> 00:52:31,319
Speaker 1: information to the wrong address. So when I showed up

982
00:52:31,360 --> 00:52:35,000
Speaker 1: for the first night, mad Dog from Temple University told

983
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:37,120
Speaker 1: me since I didn't have on a shirt and a tie,

984
00:52:37,400 --> 00:52:41,520
Speaker 1: I couldn't come in. And it wasn't meant. It wasn't meant,

985
00:52:41,640 --> 00:52:41,880
Speaker 1: did you?

986
00:52:42,040 --> 00:52:44,520
Speaker 2: I mean, what's your feeling about fraternities?

987
00:52:44,560 --> 00:52:49,239
Speaker 1: And everything's neutral, it's how you use it. Doctor King

988
00:52:49,480 --> 00:52:52,600
Speaker 1: was out for fay Alfha, Doctor Colin f du Muhammad

989
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:57,960
Speaker 1: was on Megasi five major doctor Martin Robinson Delaney grandfather

990
00:52:58,040 --> 00:52:58,960
Speaker 1: Pan Africanism.

991
00:52:59,160 --> 00:53:00,240
Speaker 3: He was amazing.

992
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:04,040
Speaker 1: Prince Hall another Pan African is he was Amazon. So

993
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:06,880
Speaker 1: it's all neutral, it's what you do with it. In

994
00:53:06,920 --> 00:53:10,840
Speaker 1: other words, at TSU, the fraternities might actually be in

995
00:53:10,960 --> 00:53:14,600
Speaker 1: sororities might actually be into community service. They might actually

996
00:53:14,640 --> 00:53:17,399
Speaker 1: be into stop the violence. They might actually be into

997
00:53:17,440 --> 00:53:19,560
Speaker 1: growing black businesses. I might go down the road to

998
00:53:19,600 --> 00:53:21,920
Speaker 1: fist and it might just be a party happy situation.

999
00:53:22,280 --> 00:53:24,279
Speaker 3: It all depends where you are.

1000
00:53:24,680 --> 00:53:29,080
Speaker 1: The fraternities and sororities are too diverse to judge an

1001
00:53:29,239 --> 00:53:33,560
Speaker 1: entire organization because there's just too much variety amongst them.

1002
00:53:33,800 --> 00:53:36,480
Speaker 1: I speak in colleges all the time. I'm impressed with

1003
00:53:36,560 --> 00:53:38,480
Speaker 1: some of the stuff that they're doing at certain places

1004
00:53:38,560 --> 00:53:40,200
Speaker 1: and other places. I'm like, they need to shut this

1005
00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,320
Speaker 1: chapter down because all y'all want to do is hayes

1006
00:53:42,400 --> 00:53:45,880
Speaker 1: people gets drunk and party march at the parties, you

1007
00:53:45,920 --> 00:53:46,399
Speaker 1: know what I mean.

1008
00:53:46,440 --> 00:53:48,280
Speaker 3: So it really all depends on the chapel.

1009
00:53:49,760 --> 00:53:53,759
Speaker 1: In essence, I support them because many of our ancestors.

1010
00:53:53,200 --> 00:53:55,440
Speaker 3: Came through those channels and they used it for good.

1011
00:53:56,760 --> 00:53:59,160
Speaker 2: But see, here's Dell, this is where I want to go.

1012
00:54:00,440 --> 00:54:03,040
Speaker 2: I want to take the conversation to a different spot

1013
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:08,280
Speaker 2: because you're sounding like you're passion and you care about fraternities.

1014
00:54:08,600 --> 00:54:12,000
Speaker 2: But I did see that you've been having this conversation

1015
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,160
Speaker 2: about hip hop and it's where it has not did

1016
00:54:15,200 --> 00:54:16,479
Speaker 2: anything in fifty years.

1017
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:19,920
Speaker 3: So are you considering hip hop a fraternity?

1018
00:54:20,360 --> 00:54:23,799
Speaker 2: I'm considering hip hop. Well, I won't explore I won't

1019
00:54:23,840 --> 00:54:28,359
Speaker 2: explore this conversation. I won't explore the fraternity and hip

1020
00:54:28,360 --> 00:54:30,360
Speaker 2: hop because.

1021
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:34,080
Speaker 1: If they are a fraternity, who are their founders and

1022
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:35,799
Speaker 1: who do they pay dues to?

1023
00:54:36,080 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 2: Well, you know, see, here we go, This is where

1024
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:40,520
Speaker 2: it gets interested
