1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,320 Speaker 1: The practice club. Bitches, Please tell me why was I 2 00:00:04,600 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 1: your donkey of the day. I laugh every morning and 3 00:00:07,400 --> 00:00:11,240 Speaker 1: I'm also proud my wife's wife. Literally donkey today for Wednesday, 4 00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,840 Speaker 1: October twenty six goes to a North Carolina sheriff named 5 00:00:13,920 --> 00:00:17,680 Speaker 1: Jody Green. Jody Green was forced to resign Monday after 6 00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,320 Speaker 1: officials unearthed a damning phone call of the elected official 7 00:00:21,520 --> 00:00:25,000 Speaker 1: spotting racist in vulgar language. I love when media outlets 8 00:00:25,079 --> 00:00:27,440 Speaker 1: use words like unearthed. You know, Dan will someone since 9 00:00:27,480 --> 00:00:29,720 Speaker 1: y'all that? But I digress. Now, what was the racist 10 00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,400 Speaker 1: in volgar language us that got former sheriff Jody Green 11 00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: up out of here? Let's go to NBC News six 12 00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:40,680 Speaker 1: for the report. Please. On one end of the phone 13 00:00:40,800 --> 00:00:43,640 Speaker 1: is current Columbus County Sheriff Jody Green. On the other 14 00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 1: end is Jason Souls, the man who previously served as 15 00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,880 Speaker 1: interim sheriff while officials settled a dispute over the twenty 16 00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 1: eighteen election. We should warn you there is some graphic 17 00:00:53,080 --> 00:00:56,240 Speaker 1: language in this call. Sheriff Green says, quote, he is 18 00:00:56,280 --> 00:00:59,000 Speaker 1: sick of these black bastards and that every black he 19 00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:11,920 Speaker 1: knows needs to be fired. That's the voice of Columbus 20 00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,720 Speaker 1: County Sheriff Jody Green. He won his seat by thirty 21 00:01:15,760 --> 00:01:18,960 Speaker 1: four votes in an election that was so highly contested. 22 00:01:19,160 --> 00:01:22,800 Speaker 1: He'd been temporarily removed from office while officials settled the 23 00:01:22,840 --> 00:01:26,280 Speaker 1: election disputes. That was the setting the night Green called 24 00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:30,360 Speaker 1: acting Sheriff Jason Souls, saying their office had a snitch. 25 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,920 Speaker 1: He made the comment that he hated Democrats, and then 26 00:01:33,959 --> 00:01:37,440 Speaker 1: he said, I take that back, I hate a black Democrat. 27 00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: And I knew you right at the end. I was like, wow, 28 00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:44,240 Speaker 1: this is coming from the sheriff, and I had to 29 00:01:44,280 --> 00:01:47,360 Speaker 1: start recording those conversations. Jody Green said he was going 30 00:01:47,400 --> 00:01:49,800 Speaker 1: to clean house at the black bastards, the black snakes. 31 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,440 Speaker 1: What's interesting about statements like that is the only thing 32 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: needed to clean that house was to get rid of 33 00:01:54,400 --> 00:01:57,320 Speaker 1: the racist Jody Green. Jody Green is indeed to trash 34 00:01:57,360 --> 00:01:59,120 Speaker 1: that needed to be taken out. It really has to 35 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: suck to be a race. It's because since you already 36 00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 1: have your mind made up that you don't like a 37 00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:05,760 Speaker 1: certain group of people, you miss out on great energy. Okay, 38 00:02:05,800 --> 00:02:07,720 Speaker 1: imagine thinking you have to clean the house just because 39 00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: you don't like blackness. You're probably getting rid of some 40 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,880 Speaker 1: of your best offices, you know, just because they are black. 41 00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:15,560 Speaker 1: And not to mention, Jody was afraid that some of 42 00:02:15,560 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: the employees were undermining his authority. No, it's just the 43 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:22,959 Speaker 1: guilt of you being a racist. Was tearing your ass up. Okay. 44 00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 1: It's like when you're cheating on your significant other and 45 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,440 Speaker 1: you feel guilty, so you start thinking they're cheating too, 46 00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,480 Speaker 1: and you got the nerve to accuse them of doing dirt, 47 00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:32,760 Speaker 1: cheating on you when it's actually just you. That's what 48 00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:35,480 Speaker 1: the sheriff was doing, all right, thinking folks was undermining 49 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,119 Speaker 1: his authority. No, bro, they was just on to you. 50 00:02:38,680 --> 00:02:41,959 Speaker 1: Let's listen to some of the pale pigmented paranoia. Former 51 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 1: Sheriff Lewis Hatcher was the first African American ever to 52 00:02:45,760 --> 00:02:48,840 Speaker 1: serve as sheriff in Columbus County. Green says on the 53 00:02:48,880 --> 00:02:52,399 Speaker 1: call he's specifically concerned that people in his office are 54 00:02:52,480 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 1: leaking information to Hatcher and Melvin Campbell, another African American 55 00:02:56,880 --> 00:03:13,120 Speaker 1: officer Green fired shortly after taking office. I'm still It 56 00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,560 Speaker 1: gets worse after the sheriff explains that he's getting phone 57 00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: records from Verizon to trace anyone in his office who's 58 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:23,360 Speaker 1: called Campbell or Hatcher. He lets souls know the plan 59 00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:40,680 Speaker 1: with Campe's the biggest everybody m now Jody resigned to 60 00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: avoid ordeal and spectacle of a long trout. Reality is 61 00:03:43,640 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: he probably resigned before he got fired so he can 62 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,400 Speaker 1: get his pension. But I don't know anything about that. 63 00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:50,240 Speaker 1: The reason I'm telling this story is because he probably 64 00:03:50,280 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: wouldn't have even resigned if there wasn't a collective effort 65 00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,280 Speaker 1: by black officers that getting removed. There was a fifty 66 00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: four page petition calling for Green's removal, and the phone call, 67 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:02,480 Speaker 1: as well as a lot of other transgressions were detailed 68 00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:06,080 Speaker 1: in this position. According to the petition, numerous individuals disclosed 69 00:04:06,080 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: the concern about the sheriff and his agents engaging in 70 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,520 Speaker 1: an intimidation and abusing authority. In fact, the Columbus County 71 00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:15,440 Speaker 1: DA John David has been trying to remove Jody Green 72 00:04:16,040 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: from office since October fourth, from the first petition for 73 00:04:18,760 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: removal was fired against the sheriff keyword first, so it 74 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 1: was more than one petition. Why am I telling y'all 75 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,000 Speaker 1: that this morning, because I need y'all to know that 76 00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,480 Speaker 1: power concedes nothing without the demand. It never has an 77 00:04:33,480 --> 00:04:35,080 Speaker 1: in nevill Will. That is a quote from one of 78 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: our ancestors, Frederick Douglas see the Path twenty four hours. 79 00:04:38,320 --> 00:04:40,680 Speaker 1: I've watched people say, well, how come none of these 80 00:04:40,720 --> 00:04:43,919 Speaker 1: corporations didn't drop Kanye West when he said slavery was 81 00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: a choice of when he wore the hate slogan white 82 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,039 Speaker 1: Lives Matter on his shirt, or when he lied about 83 00:04:49,080 --> 00:04:51,680 Speaker 1: how George Floyd died. That last one. I don't think 84 00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:53,720 Speaker 1: it's a reason for a corporation or want to fire him. 85 00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,440 Speaker 1: I think the consequences of that are a lawsuit, which 86 00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,160 Speaker 1: he received. But the others, well, those corporations didn't really 87 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,440 Speaker 1: care because you didn't make them care. Yes, Black people, 88 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,240 Speaker 1: I'm talking to you. If you want someone held accountable 89 00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: for something, then there has to be an organized, concerted 90 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:12,520 Speaker 1: effort from you and others like you to hold them accountable. 91 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:15,800 Speaker 1: Not only did the Jewish community have petitions, they had 92 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:19,279 Speaker 1: high ranking executives and agents writing op eds and releasing 93 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:23,039 Speaker 1: public statements to businesses demanding that Kanye West gets held accountable, 94 00:05:23,080 --> 00:05:25,800 Speaker 1: demanding that people stopped doing business with them. Just like 95 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 1: in North Carolina, they had petitions and they were demanding 96 00:05:29,080 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: that this sheriff gets removed. Then North Carolina NAACP submitted 97 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 1: a letter to the US Department of Justice detailing requests 98 00:05:37,240 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: for additional consequences that happen to this former sheriff, just 99 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 1: like the Anti Defamation League wrote letters to Adidas demanding 100 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:47,239 Speaker 1: Adidas stopped doing business with Kanye You have to push 101 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:51,360 Speaker 1: for things that happen because these corporations institutions only gonna 102 00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,880 Speaker 1: care as much as we the people do. Whether it's 103 00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:57,040 Speaker 1: the people on the inside of the corporation pushing for 104 00:05:57,120 --> 00:05:59,880 Speaker 1: accountability or as people on the outside pushing for account 105 00:05:59,880 --> 00:06:04,400 Speaker 1: of ability. Power will never concede anything without the demand. 106 00:06:04,880 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: Whether it's a data saying we are going to put 107 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,359 Speaker 1: this deal under review, are a sheriff's office saying we 108 00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:13,520 Speaker 1: are investigating the matter. When corporations and institutions say stuff 109 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,920 Speaker 1: like that, all they're saying is, let's see what the 110 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,440 Speaker 1: backlash is going to be. When they don't see an organized, collective, 111 00:06:20,320 --> 00:06:23,240 Speaker 1: collective effort demanding any type of accountability, they keep in 112 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,239 Speaker 1: moving business as usual. This sheriff wouldn't have even resigned 113 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:31,239 Speaker 1: if there wasn't petitions organizations like the North Carolina ACP 114 00:06:31,600 --> 00:06:34,880 Speaker 1: and officers on the inside demanding that he get let go. 115 00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 1: It's just that simple. Why because power concedes nothing without 116 00:06:39,680 --> 00:06:43,040 Speaker 1: the demand. It never has and it never will. Find 117 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,359 Speaker 1: out just what the people will submit to. And you 118 00:06:45,400 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong 119 00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:52,000 Speaker 1: which will be imposed upon them. And these will continue 120 00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:55,720 Speaker 1: till they are resisted with either words or blows. Are 121 00:06:55,760 --> 00:06:59,680 Speaker 1: with both. Frederick Douglas.
