38
00:02:33,120 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: Because I feel like we're doing this ship that's bad.

39
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,240
Speaker 1: Accident accident. I was a small business and I had

40
00:02:39,440 --> 00:02:41,440
Speaker 1: two of my best friends and I started a business

41
00:02:41,440 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 1: called The Rouge Collection. Yeah, it's a black media company

42
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 1: and bad Rouge and We ended up along the way

43
00:02:49,240 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: writing these stories about issues that happened around the country. Trade.

44
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:55,080
Speaker 1: ViOn Martin got killed. I had a platform. I wrote

45
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:58,400
Speaker 1: a column. Mike Brown got killed. I had a platform.

46
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:00,560
Speaker 1: I wrote a column, and I hold my first town hall.

47
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:03,720
Speaker 1: My first town hall, probably twenty people came to. I

48
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:07,000
Speaker 1: knew a preacher to preach, a new a politician. I

49
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: had a little panel. I put it on my website.

50
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: People showed up. Brother named Lamar Johnson was poured over

51
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,800
Speaker 1: by the police in Baker, Louisiana, which is a little

52
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: town right outside of Badon Rouge. The police stop actually

53
00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:25,000
Speaker 1: goes well, Lamar had a warrant. The cops says, I

54
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,920
Speaker 1: gotta take you to Parish prison for this warrant. Let

55
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:31,440
Speaker 1: him call his mom and he calls his mom. Lamar

56
00:03:31,600 --> 00:03:34,520
Speaker 1: ends up at Parish prison. Three days later, they say

57
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:38,040
Speaker 1: he hung himself. Um, this is a few weeks before

58
00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,320
Speaker 1: Sandre Bland and his story don't go viral. I wrote

59
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:46,680
Speaker 1: a column about Lamar. Forty people read that column. A

60
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: few months later, the distric attorney and Baton Rouge was

61
00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,840
Speaker 1: trying to open a misdemean to jail which was around

62
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 1: the people who had simple traffic violations. Bench Warrens put

63
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:58,760
Speaker 1: them in uh this temporary jail for the weekend to

64
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:02,920
Speaker 1: basically pay off they a debtor's prison. So my thoughts were,

65
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 1: if you already got people who can't pay a traffic ticket,

66
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,400
Speaker 1: that's why I didn't come to court. I couldn't pay

67
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: the tickets. Now you make me miss work, right, So

68
00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:12,800
Speaker 1: now I don't go to work. Now I can lose

69
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: my job. So the person who's impacted by poverty is

70
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,600
Speaker 1: more eat more deadly impacted as a result of these

71
00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: type of decisions. So I go to my first city

72
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: council meeting after writing columns about this um. Two dozen

73
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,960
Speaker 1: other young black men showed up and we killed them.

74
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,400
Speaker 1: Mde mean to jail. And that's how I got into politics.

75
00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: I didn't get into politics because but at the same meeting,

76
00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:44,159
Speaker 1: there the agenda where you could read all of the

77
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 1: all of the things that's coming up on the agenda

78
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:48,320
Speaker 1: that day. And so I was looking at the agenda

79
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,280
Speaker 1: and they said seventy five thousand of this company, and

80
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:54,240
Speaker 1: a hundred and eighty thousand of this company, and five

81
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:58,000
Speaker 1: hundred thousand of this company. So I'm inquisitive, So I

82
00:04:58,040 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 1: go look up and see what what's this company? Who

83
00:05:00,680 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 1: who owns these companies? Go to the secretary state where

84
00:05:02,960 --> 00:05:06,440
Speaker 1: it's look at the people. None of the board of directors,

85
00:05:06,440 --> 00:05:09,320
Speaker 1: none of the CEOs look like me. I live in

86
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 1: the city that speak six pent black. So then I

87
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:13,840
Speaker 1: started asking questions, well, how much of the money that

88
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 1: the city spend come to black people? Parish contracts were

89
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,240
Speaker 1: going to black people at the time, so we had

90
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: a black mayor, so I challenged that black mail. I

91
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:28,840
Speaker 1: wrote a whole lot of columns, created a whole lot

92
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: of controversy. People was piste off of me. Um didn't

93
00:05:32,320 --> 00:05:34,000
Speaker 1: make a lot of friends in the beginning, but we

94
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: did make a lot of change because now there's an

95
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: Office of Diversity and Inclusion in the City of Baton Rouge.

96
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,440
Speaker 1: Because we helped you let the first black woman mayor

97
00:05:43,480 --> 00:05:46,360
Speaker 1: sharing Western Broom. We helped create that. We helped put

98
00:05:46,640 --> 00:05:51,400
Speaker 1: more black council members who would be intentional about putting

99
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: money and resources in the hands of black entrepreneurs, helped

100
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: pass the biggest Roles project in the city of Baton Rouge,

101
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,279
Speaker 1: and support of our yere. Now that Rose project over,

102
00:06:03,120 --> 00:06:06,840
Speaker 1: those dollars are gonna go to black businesses, and that's

103
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: a billion dollar project, right when we talk about trying

104
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:13,800
Speaker 1: to build black wealth. It's cool to build apartment complexes

105
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:16,000
Speaker 1: and all of that stuff like that, but the real

106
00:06:16,120 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 1: resources is in how can you tap into the government

107
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:23,000
Speaker 1: resources to build your companies? Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's real man,

108
00:06:23,160 --> 00:06:26,440
Speaker 1: And we've been just think about it. That's two percent

109
00:06:26,560 --> 00:06:28,880
Speaker 1: in Bad Route, wasn't like in these other cities. I

110
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:32,120
Speaker 1: think that when you look at the numbers in every city,

111
00:06:32,160 --> 00:06:35,720
Speaker 1: not just the cities, the state, every every local municipality

112
00:06:35,760 --> 00:06:37,920
Speaker 1: has spending money. Right, so every one of them take

113
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:40,240
Speaker 1: your tax dollars, put them into the pot, and then

114
00:06:40,240 --> 00:06:42,599
Speaker 1: they decide where that money goes based on the people

115
00:06:42,600 --> 00:06:45,920
Speaker 1: that are the legislators on your city council, the cab County,

116
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,320
Speaker 1: Foulton County. That's two different councils, right, that's two different

117
00:06:49,320 --> 00:06:52,120
Speaker 1: bodies of people making decisions about money that gets moved around.

118
00:06:52,360 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: Then you take that up to the state level, right,

119
00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: that's a different body of people making decisions about your

120
00:06:56,920 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: money at the federal level. And at every level of that,

121
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Speaker 1: they're giving out contracts and the people who getting them

122
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 1: don't look like me and you. Right, I've been thinking

123
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: about starting me a little sad business fixing potholes. It's lucrative.

124
00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:16,400
Speaker 1: I know it. I did the research, but you know,

125
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,680
Speaker 1: I'm black too. You gotta get the money first, though,

126
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 1: now you don't. And that's why they don't really want

127
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:27,600
Speaker 1: nobody fixing the potholes, because they really don't call ship. Yeah,

128
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:32,679
Speaker 1: I think Dominos was doing the ship for free money. Exactly.

129
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:35,920
Speaker 1: You've got government money. I need to be federally funded,

130
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:40,080
Speaker 1: you feel me. Yeah, how much of money? How much

131
00:07:40,120 --> 00:07:42,680
Speaker 1: of the of the like you said from the path,

132
00:07:42,760 --> 00:07:45,720
Speaker 1: how much of it is being stolen? Though? I can't

133
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: tell you how much being I mean because next week

134
00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:53,239
Speaker 1: the folks on the whole country what you're talking about,

135
00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how much they steal it. Yeah,

136
00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,600
Speaker 1: folks stealing every day, man, Yeah, especially living that type

137
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 1: of structure. I think that you know, the reality is

138
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,880
Speaker 1: whether they are stealing um in a in a form

139
00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: of breaking the law, or whether they are the law

140
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,080
Speaker 1: to take resources from my community and not putting it back.

141
00:08:16,280 --> 00:08:18,520
Speaker 1: That's the way they do that's the way they do it.

142
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,120
Speaker 1: They don't know how the word that they call it

143
00:08:21,200 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: reallocating resources misappropriate funds, were reappropriation reappropriate because miss mean

144
00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,720
Speaker 1: read me, we just need it again. If you look

145
00:08:32,760 --> 00:08:36,680
Speaker 1: at Republicans will tell you that they're gonna cut education

146
00:08:36,679 --> 00:08:40,400
Speaker 1: and somehow you're gonna be smarter. Right, that's like pissing

147
00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:44,319
Speaker 1: on my leg and telling me it's right. Nah, it's

148
00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,840
Speaker 1: never gonna work. In Louisiana. We're spend eleven thousand dollars

149
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 1: a year to educate a key the nineteen thousand dollars

150
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:52,520
Speaker 1: a year to put somebody in jail. So which one

151
00:08:52,559 --> 00:08:55,200
Speaker 1: do we really care more about the grands coming out

152
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:58,559
Speaker 1: smart than the motherfucker they're coming out with nothing? You know,

153
00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:03,160
Speaker 1: you know, college for criminals, they're going. But for those

154
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: who go into that and get that out of how

155
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: many of our brothers and sistants actually come out with

156
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 1: college degrees out of those programs? Not enough? Oh I'm

157
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:17,120
Speaker 1: not even talking about said about Yeah, I'm fun with

158
00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:23,280
Speaker 1: that number. How you feeling over there? I think it's

159
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 1: the perfect time to tell everybody, Hey, welcome back to

160
00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:34,000
Speaker 1: they found something. Yeah, we're here. We're getting real astronomical

161
00:09:34,080 --> 00:09:38,280
Speaker 1: with it today. Were politically correct and incorrect at the

162
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:42,680
Speaker 1: same time. We're making moves for the legislation. Oh man,

163
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:46,079
Speaker 1: not the not the legislative branch. Yes, the executive branch.

164
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,520
Speaker 1: We're not the executive moment. Come on, man, what we're

165
00:09:49,559 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: talking about. We might take this ship all the way

166
00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: to the state O man, we might take this ship

167
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:58,120
Speaker 1: to the federal level. They might have to call in

168
00:09:58,240 --> 00:10:01,800
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court just to review the information that we're

169
00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:03,760
Speaker 1: putting on this one to day. Well, I've been told

170
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: economists they've been wrong. Somebody getting Margaret that you on

171
00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:10,240
Speaker 1: the phone the g d P. Come on where it's

172
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:14,720
Speaker 1: Max sint Waters right now? Do you know the median

173
00:10:14,800 --> 00:10:18,000
Speaker 1: age of Black Americans thirty two? So what the median

174
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:21,200
Speaker 1: age of Black Americans? Thirty two? It's thirty two, thirty two,

175
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:27,440
Speaker 1: which means that the greatest impact that could be made

176
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: in the voting booth could be made by young black people.

177
00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,840
Speaker 1: That's the secret, sauce. So you already getting it. They

178
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: ain't even told him who you are yet. The rest

179
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,320
Speaker 1: do the rest. I'm Guary Chambers and I'm running for

180
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,920
Speaker 1: the US Center in Louisiana. You see how I said that? Up?

181
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:49,200
Speaker 1: You see that is that you might recognize them from

182
00:10:49,200 --> 00:10:52,240
Speaker 1: such political as as do the posts from when from

183
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,199
Speaker 1: the ax smoking the blunt. We get this ship. This

184
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:59,679
Speaker 1: about you, Gary, I think this is it. It's old.

185
00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:02,000
Speaker 1: And if he didn't see it, go see it. Go

186
00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: watch man smoking the fat ass blunt. That's when he

187
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,880
Speaker 1: got my vote. I don't even live. But then the

188
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,880
Speaker 1: shitty saying on top of every thirty seven seconds, somebody's

189
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,280
Speaker 1: incarcerated for the use of cannabis in this country, damn

190
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: while people make billions of dollars in profit of it.

191
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:23,240
Speaker 1: Colorado had the fourth rank education system in the country.

192
00:11:23,280 --> 00:11:25,880
Speaker 1: They spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year in

193
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 1: tax dollars from cannabis to educate their children. Louisiana has

194
00:11:29,520 --> 00:11:32,200
Speaker 1: the forty six rank education system in the country, the

195
00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:36,840
Speaker 1: most incarcerated place in the country, the forty seventh rank opportunity.

196
00:11:36,880 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: We ranked fifty in crime because we ranked forty seven

197
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: an opportunity and we're jailing people. So if you have

198
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:45,079
Speaker 1: more people incarcerated than anywhere else in the country, right,

199
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:47,880
Speaker 1: and your policies and your laws are stricted in anywhere

200
00:11:47,880 --> 00:11:50,720
Speaker 1: else in the country, then clearly knocking negros up and

201
00:11:50,760 --> 00:11:53,319
Speaker 1: putting laws that are strict are not going to make

202
00:11:53,320 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: our community safer. Because we live in the most majors

203
00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:58,760
Speaker 1: state in America. You're talking about Chicago or you want

204
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:05,360
Speaker 1: to Commany war ship like real life. There are consequences

205
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,320
Speaker 1: that happened from the policies of the people who leave

206
00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: us that leave our communities in disarray. When you look

207
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:15,840
Speaker 1: at New Orleans today, there was a documentary that just

208
00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:19,920
Speaker 1: came out a brother Drop called Katrina Babies, right um,

209
00:12:19,960 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 1: I think everybody should watch that to look at the

210
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,560
Speaker 1: convention of New Orleans because what you looking at is

211
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,760
Speaker 1: the people who are eighteen to they could train the babies.

212
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 1: There are people who went through Katrina. The whole world

213
00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,720
Speaker 1: was destroyed. Nobody ever asked them how they were doing.

214
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:37,880
Speaker 1: And then we put them back in the city with

215
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: limited resources and the fucked up schools even less than

216
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:46,439
Speaker 1: it was before. That's with no stability emotionally, no stability financially,

217
00:12:46,440 --> 00:12:49,320
Speaker 1: and no community stability for them. And then we are

218
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 1: looking at the end result of that today, of the

219
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: neglect that we've done over the last fifteen and seventeen

220
00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:58,559
Speaker 1: years since Katriina. And now when you see that New

221
00:12:58,640 --> 00:13:00,840
Speaker 1: Orleans has become the murder cow. We love this the

222
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:06,400
Speaker 1: country right well, how we got here and then Republicans

223
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,200
Speaker 1: love to say, oh, it's the mayor of New Orleans.

224
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 1: Are the leadership in New Orleans? What damn? You take

225
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:13,640
Speaker 1: credit for everything good and all the peaceful cities where

226
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:17,680
Speaker 1: they got Republican leaders right, But it's your money and

227
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:21,480
Speaker 1: your policies that impact what happens in those cities, because

228
00:13:21,520 --> 00:13:23,800
Speaker 1: the mayor of a city still it has to buy

229
00:13:23,840 --> 00:13:26,640
Speaker 1: by the rules of the state, right and if the

230
00:13:26,679 --> 00:13:29,559
Speaker 1: state is ran by Republican governor or Republican legislature. In

231
00:13:29,559 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: our parties, we got a Democrat governor where he kind

232
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:36,880
Speaker 1: of Democrat. But yeah, something like that that I like.

233
00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 1: I like. Uh. Nonetheless, if you look at the impact

234
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:45,480
Speaker 1: that that has, it leaves our communities and disarrate, and

235
00:13:45,520 --> 00:13:47,920
Speaker 1: we w a hold them accountable, Republicans city and talk

236
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:51,439
Speaker 1: all of this trash about, uh making our communities safe.

237
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:53,960
Speaker 1: For the worst ranked states in the country are all

238
00:13:54,040 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: ran by Republicans. Seven out of the ten worst state

239
00:13:58,120 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: rate states rate states in the country are ran by Republicans.

240
00:14:02,840 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 1: Seven out of ten of the top ranked states are

241
00:14:05,400 --> 00:14:08,319
Speaker 1: ran by demo press. Not only I ain't capting for

242
00:14:08,360 --> 00:14:10,880
Speaker 1: Democrats because they got issues too, But what I'm saying

243
00:14:11,080 --> 00:14:15,560
Speaker 1: is facts of facts right, and and the math ain't math.

244
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,680
Speaker 1: And when he's talking about the return on investment for

245
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,280
Speaker 1: us in our communities, and I think that the culture

246
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: is missing it because Beyonce can't loan two point five

247
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,040
Speaker 1: billion dollars to the State of Louisiana for a new bridge.

248
00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,040
Speaker 1: She wouldn't do that anymore. List, but a white man

249
00:14:35,200 --> 00:14:40,800
Speaker 1: named Jim Bernhard can and and he is in negotiations

250
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:44,080
Speaker 1: with the State of Louisiana to loan the state two

251
00:14:44,120 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 1: point one billion dollars to build the bridge. Just a

252
00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:49,200
Speaker 1: random white man, a billionaire in the state of Louisiana.

253
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:52,360
Speaker 1: And let watch this dog on a loan with an

254
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:55,280
Speaker 1: interest rate that will be paying his family when he's

255
00:14:55,400 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: dead because he in his seventies and the interest rate.

256
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 1: Let's talk about it. Another contract, right, Louisiana State University

257
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:06,680
Speaker 1: has a coolness system that got replaced, that's getting replaced.

258
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:09,360
Speaker 1: The contract was given to a company owned by this

259
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,479
Speaker 1: man right to replace the cooling systems at the university.

260
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: Then the university pays him for however many years for

261
00:15:18,120 --> 00:15:21,480
Speaker 1: maintaining the coolness system at the university. We're talking about

262
00:15:21,480 --> 00:15:24,800
Speaker 1: real money. This stuff we're talking about with UH hip

263
00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: hop and entertainment. That's cool. That that that's that's one

264
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,720
Speaker 1: level of wealth. But we're not even tapping into the

265
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:32,760
Speaker 1: level of wealth that we could be tapping into as

266
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:35,440
Speaker 1: a people gives. And when we talk about how we

267
00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: want to build wealth for real, if you exclude the

268
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,520
Speaker 1: political process, you were never going to build a real

269
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:45,080
Speaker 1: black ecosystem. Right, Like when we talk about I love

270
00:15:45,080 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 1: what Wall Street traffics doing. I love with all of

271
00:15:47,040 --> 00:15:50,160
Speaker 1: these brothers that are talking about investing in doing the

272
00:15:50,200 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: second the second component of that is the political process

273
00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,880
Speaker 1: you're looking at right night, right here in Atlanta, Right,

274
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:59,160
Speaker 1: we're talking about folks that are upset about the folks

275
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:01,800
Speaker 1: that are locked up, uh with the with the situation

276
00:16:01,840 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: with Uh, come on, slim Uh. Everybody is upset about

277
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,440
Speaker 1: what's happening in that situation. Right. Who are four points

278
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:18,840
Speaker 1: federal prosecutors, US sentators. The President appoints them, approved by

279
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,560
Speaker 1: US senators. So the people work in the case, right,

280
00:16:22,840 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 1: not just your local disc attorney, but the fears that's

281
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,440
Speaker 1: involved on to become a reco case. Right. They are

282
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: appointed by United States, approved by United States senators. How

283
00:16:33,280 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: many of us are having conversations with the United States

284
00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: Centator about what the fears are doing in these cases

285
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: happening not just in Georgia, that's happening in Illinois, is

286
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,520
Speaker 1: happening in Louise Hammle. The most streamed artists on YouTube.

287
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:50,800
Speaker 1: It's from bad Ruge, Yeah, tray Up, and they're trying

288
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:55,040
Speaker 1: to put rico cases on all of them. My question is,

289
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:58,120
Speaker 1: are you gonna make my community safer with that all?

290
00:16:58,200 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: Should we be invest in our time and trying to

291
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:02,240
Speaker 1: create opportunities that keep us out of this type of

292
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:04,399
Speaker 1: streat mentality? Now, I do think we have to have

293
00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,800
Speaker 1: conversations about accountability. How many how many ways can we

294
00:17:07,800 --> 00:17:11,080
Speaker 1: talk about killing each other in the music? And why

295
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:15,080
Speaker 1: is the only music that get spread like that. I'm

296
00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:17,399
Speaker 1: just saying, like, like how many times like we're crying

297
00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,680
Speaker 1: at everybody funeral? Right? But if we continue to play

298
00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:24,480
Speaker 1: the music that constantly feeds that energy into our system,

299
00:17:24,520 --> 00:17:26,119
Speaker 1: at some point we are to talk about how do

300
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,639
Speaker 1: we get some hope on the other side of it?

301
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:29,960
Speaker 1: And and truthfully, as rich as you are, why you

302
00:17:30,000 --> 00:17:33,040
Speaker 1: still won't kill somebody? The last thing I ever want

303
00:17:33,080 --> 00:17:37,680
Speaker 1: to do is kill another black man exacts like there's

304
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 1: two sides to the coin. There's a side where the

305
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:42,080
Speaker 1: government has to do his part and there's a side

306
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:43,880
Speaker 1: where we as a community have to do our part.

307
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 1: And we need leaders that are willing to say both

308
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 1: sides of that coin. Yeah, I'm gonna go custom white

309
00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:49,600
Speaker 1: folks every time they take the money. But I might

310
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:51,640
Speaker 1: also ask you to go tell your cousins stop talking

311
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,680
Speaker 1: about the same stuff in the music every week, because

312
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:57,000
Speaker 1: you're making my job harder. It's two sides to all

313
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: of this. I wish I could take about twenty of

314
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,520
Speaker 1: us into a back woman have a conversation, because we

315
00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:07,520
Speaker 1: can change the whole South. Let's do it. Let's go.

316
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: That's easy. Who you want on Who would you want

317
00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:11,240
Speaker 1: to invite to something like that? I think y'all know

318
00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,159
Speaker 1: better than I on that. Yeah, you know the people

319
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:17,280
Speaker 1: who can move the needle and the culture. The question

320
00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: is right now, we've got mere term elections. UH Leader

321
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:23,040
Speaker 1: Abrams is up in Georgia, Senator war Knockers up here.

322
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,760
Speaker 1: But there's also people like Mandela Bonds running in for

323
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,520
Speaker 1: the US Senate in Wisconsin. There's Charles book And running

324
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: for the US Senate. In Kentucky, there's valdim Is running

325
00:18:33,320 --> 00:18:35,800
Speaker 1: for the US Senate in Florida. Right, all of these

326
00:18:35,840 --> 00:18:40,480
Speaker 1: people shared Beasley uh in North Carolina, all of them black. Right.

327
00:18:40,840 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: Question is for all of the people in hip hop

328
00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: who have made posts about wanting suddenly change in the

329
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,080
Speaker 1: justice system, how many of them made a contribution to

330
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:50,879
Speaker 1: any of their campaigns. This is my first time here

331
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:56,280
Speaker 1: in their name. That's important, that's important outside Georgia. Yeah,

332
00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,879
Speaker 1: that's a piece of the pie, you know. And and

333
00:18:58,920 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: these are the conversations I think that get us to

334
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:03,360
Speaker 1: a place of fruit. It ain't a judge on either

335
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 1: side because neither one of us were all eating it to.

336
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,040
Speaker 1: We know what time you woke up this morning. I

337
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:11,479
Speaker 1: get about eight thirty this morning. I woke up this

338
00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,200
Speaker 1: morning about seven. Right, We all woke up, but we

339
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,720
Speaker 1: don't wake up at the same time. That's the same

340
00:19:16,760 --> 00:19:18,359
Speaker 1: thing with our people. They're not gonna all come to

341
00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:20,479
Speaker 1: consciousness at the same time. We just gotta make sure

342
00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:22,399
Speaker 1: we put the information out so that they can't wake up.

343
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: That's the number one thing. A lot of a lot

344
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:27,280
Speaker 1: of us don't know whether information is who these people are.

345
00:19:27,560 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: I think we I think I think we have to

346
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: do a better job of making ourselves available. You know

347
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:37,720
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, It's true, It's true. Uh, there's been

348
00:19:37,800 --> 00:19:40,600
Speaker 1: folks who have led our community down a lot of times.

349
00:19:40,600 --> 00:19:42,560
Speaker 1: People say gear, you don't wear a suit all the time,

350
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,520
Speaker 1: where most of the people who came into my community

351
00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:48,240
Speaker 1: lying to black folk, head of suiting town stole everything. So,

352
00:19:48,440 --> 00:19:50,199
Speaker 1: you know, and when I walk into the neighborhood, I

353
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: want you to feel like, damn, I can talk to

354
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:53,840
Speaker 1: him at least, you know. Um, you gotta be relatable

355
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,480
Speaker 1: to people. You gotta meet people where they are. So

356
00:19:57,560 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: you've been seeing a lot of successes, you know, hearing there.

357
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: You know you'll you'll ride through the politics and things

358
00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:05,879
Speaker 1: like that. When did this start making sense for you?

359
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,399
Speaker 1: I think for me, when I started to see like

360
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,359
Speaker 1: incremental change. Uh. And then talk to like some of

361
00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,200
Speaker 1: the people who have been in this work a long time. Uh,

362
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: you understand that every generation of black people have had

363
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: to kind of pay their dues to this process. That

364
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,959
Speaker 1: we've had to uh take some ship. We didn't want

365
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,680
Speaker 1: to take, process that and then navigate forward, but that

366
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: that little sacrifice ends up with big results in the end.

367
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:40,680
Speaker 1: When we changed the chief of police in Baton Rouge

368
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,480
Speaker 1: and we saw police policies change. I know that there

369
00:20:43,520 --> 00:20:45,640
Speaker 1: are less people getting their asked with by the Batterange

370
00:20:45,640 --> 00:20:47,720
Speaker 1: Police Department today than they were when I was a

371
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: spokesperson for Alton Stirler's family in Um, that to me matters.

372
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: That's the stuff that keeps me motivated. Now. Is it difficult? Man?

373
00:20:57,160 --> 00:20:58,719
Speaker 1: Their days where I wake up and I'm like, man,

374
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,080
Speaker 1: I don't want to do this at all. Um, it

375
00:21:01,240 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: is not always rewarded. Uh. You see the likes on

376
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:06,480
Speaker 1: social media, but you don't see all of the trash

377
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: people talk all of the things that we have to

378
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:11,560
Speaker 1: do to be conscious of safety in a way that

379
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,760
Speaker 1: other folks don't have to do. Because as many people

380
00:21:14,760 --> 00:21:17,200
Speaker 1: as you see praising you, there's just as many people

381
00:21:17,200 --> 00:21:22,000
Speaker 1: out there who criticize you and feel, uh that you

382
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,320
Speaker 1: are a threat to what is normal to them. Uh,

383
00:21:25,320 --> 00:21:27,600
Speaker 1: and what's normal to them. It's detrimental to people that

384
00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: look like me. Right. Um, I'm a gun owner for

385
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,679
Speaker 1: a reason. You know, the world is real, and I

386
00:21:34,680 --> 00:21:38,399
Speaker 1: think that black folks need to recognize that. Um. The

387
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:43,600
Speaker 1: Civil War didn't happen uh because people just got mad

388
00:21:43,680 --> 00:21:47,000
Speaker 1: one day, is because there was a continuation and a

389
00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:50,439
Speaker 1: perpetuation of lies and misinformation the same way that we

390
00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,919
Speaker 1: see today, that we need to something like happen what

391
00:21:52,960 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: happened on January six, And I think that we need

392
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,560
Speaker 1: to be consciously aware that if we don't stand up

393
00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,920
Speaker 1: right now, that there are people who are really working

394
00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:04,280
Speaker 1: take us backwards. Well, I know what happened on January

395
00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,200
Speaker 1: that six, But for the people who are watching and

396
00:22:06,240 --> 00:22:09,920
Speaker 1: may not know, tell him what happened when all Brian

397
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:16,080
Speaker 1: Kimp cousins went to storm the capital. I won't make

398
00:22:16,119 --> 00:22:19,440
Speaker 1: it personal. There you go, now, I funk with the

399
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,679
Speaker 1: baby down that trip. Everybody went, even the people in

400
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:26,400
Speaker 1: the wheelchair to disable to hand it, all of them going.

401
00:22:26,680 --> 00:22:30,040
Speaker 1: But think about that though, right they're going to that's

402
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:32,639
Speaker 1: some of my favorite ship. Wheel chair would be so

403
00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:35,560
Speaker 1: dedicated to his call. He made a stand. Yeah, he

404
00:22:35,600 --> 00:22:39,320
Speaker 1: would get on the bus a call whatever he stood.

405
00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:42,199
Speaker 1: If we can't get any broths to go down the

406
00:22:42,240 --> 00:22:47,080
Speaker 1: street to the boat, hate was worth worn than the hassle.

407
00:22:47,600 --> 00:22:55,080
Speaker 1: Come on, bro, you're talking up his hate. That's come on.

408
00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:57,840
Speaker 1: I'm already out here, man. You just got to meet

409
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,480
Speaker 1: me out He set it up, you know, I be

410
00:23:00,520 --> 00:23:02,800
Speaker 1: like he in his bag this motherfucker got one of

411
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,120
Speaker 1: the big Center Claus bags. He's stay off in them.

412
00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: He stayed talking this welcome back show. We're getting real

413
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:24,520
Speaker 1: political today. Calla man, Gary Chambers in here blowing good blunts,

414
00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: talking good ship at the same time. Man, what so,

415
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:31,959
Speaker 1: what resources do you feel like you need from the

416
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:35,840
Speaker 1: black community to help you make this thing possible? You know,

417
00:23:36,680 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 1: I've had this question about you know, we dropped this

418
00:23:39,600 --> 00:23:42,399
Speaker 1: the weed are right um now, and I wanted to

419
00:23:42,440 --> 00:23:44,720
Speaker 1: ask you about that too, that what made you do that?

420
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: That was very bold? I think for me one, Um,

421
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,440
Speaker 1: I smoke, okay, uh And these are things that motherfucker's

422
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:56,880
Speaker 1: usually had though when they run. But because I recognize

423
00:23:56,960 --> 00:24:00,359
Speaker 1: that we live in a world where click baiting media

424
00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: h can dominate stuff, I'm never gonna let nobody else

425
00:24:04,160 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 1: tell my ship on me, right. Uh So for me,

426
00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you know I smoke. So if any

427
00:24:10,240 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: at any point somebody discovers that I smoked marijuana, it's

428
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: not controversial. I already told you right. That's the number

429
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:20,359
Speaker 1: one from me on a personal level. Two from an

430
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:25,320
Speaker 1: equity standpoint, and where we are as a society. When

431
00:24:25,359 --> 00:24:27,159
Speaker 1: I went to California, for the first time, and I

432
00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: bought legal weed uh and came back to Louisiana perspective

433
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:38,480
Speaker 1: about the bondage that people are in as a result

434
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:42,080
Speaker 1: of this, and I felt obligated to use my platform

435
00:24:42,520 --> 00:24:45,399
Speaker 1: to say something about it. Um. And to me, I

436
00:24:45,440 --> 00:24:49,160
Speaker 1: think too often in politics, Uh, we spend this time

437
00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,800
Speaker 1: trying to be an image or something that we're not. Uh.

438
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,200
Speaker 1: You're gonna take me as I am because whatever way

439
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,959
Speaker 1: this goes, if somebody come out with something, You're like, here,

440
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:59,560
Speaker 1: we already new geary smoke, we knew be cuss, what

441
00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:04,879
Speaker 1: else you know? That's it? Yeah, Kevin Allen, Kevin Allen

442
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:06,439
Speaker 1: is in the gold of pen attention right now for

443
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:09,760
Speaker 1: less than a grammar cannabis for a life sense people.

444
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:13,879
Speaker 1: People are in a cage right now with tax dollars

445
00:25:13,880 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 1: paying for the real hypocrisy of the state of Louisiana

446
00:25:17,040 --> 00:25:21,119
Speaker 1: grows cannabis at Louisiana State University and Southern University with

447
00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:25,160
Speaker 1: my tax dollars and sees it in the medical market. Right,

448
00:25:25,280 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: they do the same ship jailing people for the exact

449
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:31,639
Speaker 1: same thing that you're doing with my tax dollars. Right,

450
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 1: Hold on, you want to go one more level, go

451
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:37,160
Speaker 1: ahead with it. You can buy stocks in these weed

452
00:25:37,280 --> 00:25:40,480
Speaker 1: companies legally make money from this ship on the stock

453
00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:42,680
Speaker 1: market and people's dealers in the prison and go to

454
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:47,240
Speaker 1: jail for that's great. It ain't got shipped to do

455
00:25:47,240 --> 00:25:52,959
Speaker 1: with the law though, slavery. It is the prison system

456
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: that's that's the whole slavery ship. So it ain't about

457
00:25:56,320 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: fucking how you got there. They just want you to

458
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:05,040
Speaker 1: get there, right. I just gotta let that ship sit

459
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:08,199
Speaker 1: for a minute, stud telling you, man, better wake up

460
00:26:08,240 --> 00:26:12,000
Speaker 1: to this ship. So your yr ship was a smoking ship.

461
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,520
Speaker 1: But what's your opponent? What? What's your opponents in? Man?

462
00:26:18,720 --> 00:26:20,840
Speaker 1: One thing you ain't never gonna see associated with me

463
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,159
Speaker 1: is crap. Damn. I'm just about to tell you that.

464
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:26,840
Speaker 1: I was just about to tell you to go find

465
00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:28,920
Speaker 1: some crackheads and be like what you're gonna do when

466
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: people start calling you with their problem, don't call me

467
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:38,880
Speaker 1: come out right, don't come with no police and ship. Man,

468
00:26:40,640 --> 00:26:44,600
Speaker 1: now that I ain't got no problem. Hey, my name Lutha,

469
00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: and not prove that. Man, Hello, Hello, Hello, what's your next?

470
00:26:53,720 --> 00:26:55,800
Speaker 1: Can we get to sneak creak on man? We dropped

471
00:26:55,800 --> 00:26:58,520
Speaker 1: one to day on crime uh. And we got one

472
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:02,520
Speaker 1: next week that we're dropping on Lumbus Day. Uh. That

473
00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:08,280
Speaker 1: is kind of like a Jordan's peel vibe uh, where

474
00:27:08,320 --> 00:27:11,960
Speaker 1: we tell the truth about Christopher Columbus with a kid.

475
00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: You have a kid actor who is from Atlanta actually

476
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:19,399
Speaker 1: who uh is playing the role of a kid in

477
00:27:19,920 --> 00:27:23,160
Speaker 1: I add for us? Um, and it's really the address

478
00:27:23,840 --> 00:27:27,359
Speaker 1: what I feel is a myth. They keep talking about

479
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:29,879
Speaker 1: this critical race theory. One. They don't teach critical race

480
00:27:29,960 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: theory in any public schools in America. Um. That's a

481
00:27:32,880 --> 00:27:37,040
Speaker 1: college course or law school course. Uh to um. They're

482
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:40,200
Speaker 1: using it as a way to take accurate history out

483
00:27:40,200 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: of history books so that people don't know about horrors

484
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 1: that some white ancestors did to black and brown and

485
00:27:47,119 --> 00:27:50,320
Speaker 1: indigenous people in this they really because they don't want

486
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:52,960
Speaker 1: us to start telling the stories. If you start taking

487
00:27:52,960 --> 00:27:55,639
Speaker 1: books out of school, you really like you're in a

488
00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: bad place as a society. You know, like we should

489
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:01,639
Speaker 1: not want to limit people of access to information. We

490
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,080
Speaker 1: should want to increase the information that you can digest

491
00:28:04,359 --> 00:28:06,679
Speaker 1: so that we don't repeat the mistakes of the past.

492
00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 1: The only way that we understand, oh, people locked people

493
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,520
Speaker 1: up and did these things. I don't make it seem like,

494
00:28:11,560 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: you know, black black enslaved. Our ancestors who were enslaved

495
00:28:15,600 --> 00:28:19,480
Speaker 1: were joyous about being slaved. Like the kids was playing

496
00:28:19,520 --> 00:28:23,040
Speaker 1: with each other on the planet, playing with nobody, you know.

497
00:28:23,119 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: And if they weren't playing with each other, damn sure

498
00:28:25,160 --> 00:28:28,199
Speaker 1: wasn't happy to be playing with them, right. You know,

499
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:30,399
Speaker 1: you know something I don't want to play with you.

500
00:28:30,440 --> 00:28:33,400
Speaker 1: It's like your mama, take me to the she worked

501
00:28:33,440 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: for a house. You know what your mom did, She

502
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: go to the ladyship, worked for houses. You gotta go

503
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 1: play with this kid that that is nothing like you.

504
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,800
Speaker 1: I don't gonna play with that kid. Damn, they don't

505
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:46,680
Speaker 1: want they don't like that. You know, they don't know

506
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:49,600
Speaker 1: the pictures were gonna be around that law. They didn't

507
00:28:49,600 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: cared at the pictures gonna be around that law. That's

508
00:28:51,360 --> 00:28:53,400
Speaker 1: what I'm saying now that now the family coming out

509
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,560
Speaker 1: like my grandmother, But she didn't mean to throw the

510
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,880
Speaker 1: brick at Martin Luke, like you know, mother, he's been

511
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,240
Speaker 1: on the little girl. He was dirty eight years old

512
00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,360
Speaker 1: because he didn't want to go into the broke clock

513
00:29:05,440 --> 00:29:08,520
Speaker 1: can be right twice a day, okay, telling me that

514
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:11,680
Speaker 1: your grandpa uh was good to you, and he was

515
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:14,280
Speaker 1: a good man. He was still a broke clock. Yeah,

516
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: he just right twice a day. Yeah as it. Because

517
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,400
Speaker 1: you treat your family good. Don't tell me nothing that

518
00:29:20,440 --> 00:29:25,040
Speaker 1: the Bible tells me. How you treat your neighbor. Do

519
00:29:25,120 --> 00:29:29,040
Speaker 1: you treat your name that you treat yourself right? And

520
00:29:29,040 --> 00:29:32,280
Speaker 1: and the reality is based on the policies that people

521
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,040
Speaker 1: vote for. You don't treat your neighbor and you treat yourself.

522
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:36,640
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, you still from your neighbor on

523
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: the regular basis to make your nice parks and community

524
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:42,520
Speaker 1: didn't look good while my while you built the ghetto

525
00:29:42,800 --> 00:29:47,520
Speaker 1: and then told us to fix it. We'll built the projects.

526
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:54,480
Speaker 1: There weren't no black folks. We didn't find that. I'm

527
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,680
Speaker 1: sure if black people were a part of the conversation

528
00:29:56,720 --> 00:30:00,600
Speaker 1: of building public housing in the sixties and seven, they weren't.

529
00:30:00,600 --> 00:30:03,280
Speaker 1: Look like they weren't because we would have laid that

530
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: ship out. We will certainly down. We're gonna no no

531
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: baby of square feet. Maybe we need who steps down

532
00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:20,200
Speaker 1: two step dead. We feel a little pimp team deep

533
00:30:20,240 --> 00:30:25,040
Speaker 1: in these one bad rooms. Baby, don't putting no concrete

534
00:30:25,080 --> 00:30:28,440
Speaker 1: kitchen in there. We need the island. We need a

535
00:30:28,440 --> 00:30:30,960
Speaker 1: bed to eat and pray the Lord stay out of

536
00:30:30,960 --> 00:30:33,360
Speaker 1: the white forbid. And y'all want us to stay in there, right?

537
00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:38,160
Speaker 1: We need where we need that. We needed that. We

538
00:30:38,200 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: need the upstairs with the kids. Everybody got to live

539
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,680
Speaker 1: on staff. Now, don't nobody won't live on the ground.

540
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,600
Speaker 1: We don't got a We don't do ground. Now, y'all

541
00:30:45,600 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: say we just got a height. Uh, yeah, we ain't none.

542
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,840
Speaker 1: They made them just a little up, a little just look, hey,

543
00:30:57,000 --> 00:30:59,720
Speaker 1: yeah square, they told my projects. Now, I was saying

544
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,800
Speaker 1: about it too. That's trauma. I think. I think that

545
00:31:02,880 --> 00:31:07,520
Speaker 1: we we have to really be cognizant of the investments

546
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,560
Speaker 1: that the government is gonna make in the next ten

547
00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:13,320
Speaker 1: or fifteen years, because those investments are what are going

548
00:31:13,360 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: to be the communities we live here for the next

549
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,840
Speaker 1: twenty to thirty years. They broke all the communities up.

550
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,320
Speaker 1: It ain't really a whole lot of black communities left.

551
00:31:21,440 --> 00:31:24,760
Speaker 1: The question is, are we gonna build a black community again?

552
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,280
Speaker 1: I don't. That's all building it. This is what we're

553
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,000
Speaker 1: gonna do building it. We're just gonna wait on the

554
00:31:30,600 --> 00:31:33,719
Speaker 1: housing market. The bulb for that ship depart, then we're

555
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:35,720
Speaker 1: just gonna all move next door to each other again

556
00:31:37,280 --> 00:31:39,720
Speaker 1: on our own terms. Or we could just keep building

557
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:44,200
Speaker 1: black well and get whatever we want. I ain't in

558
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: the business of asking for permission. Well, no, I ain't

559
00:31:47,240 --> 00:31:51,120
Speaker 1: in the business of wait neither. I think that too

560
00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:55,080
Speaker 1: many of us are too patient in this process. Um.

561
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,720
Speaker 1: I can accept incremental change because it's changed. I can't

562
00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:02,840
Speaker 1: have stagnation and doing nothing. And I think that too

563
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:06,600
Speaker 1: many of our leaders have become complacent because a few

564
00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:09,360
Speaker 1: of us got out the hood. I think a few

565
00:32:09,360 --> 00:32:12,080
Speaker 1: of most of our leaders was never our leaders to

566
00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:15,320
Speaker 1: begin with. I feel like they was talking that ship

567
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:19,440
Speaker 1: good at first, and they got in there and then

568
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: they started playing that game and was just like, hold on, y'all,

569
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm getting the street. I would say that some of them,

570
00:32:25,760 --> 00:32:28,360
Speaker 1: some of them may have done that, but I've met

571
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:34,760
Speaker 1: a lot of people who had a different process of ascension. Right. Uh,

572
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: none of us can understand what the pressure of being

573
00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:43,280
Speaker 1: President Obama was. Right, the first black anything is always

574
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,920
Speaker 1: going to be the most criticized of any of them

575
00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,240
Speaker 1: that's in the position. That's another one of my frustrations.

576
00:32:49,280 --> 00:32:51,960
Speaker 1: We shouldn't still be having the first black people to

577
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:54,520
Speaker 1: be the first black people. We should be on at

578
00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,840
Speaker 1: least our fifth black person on everything. I'm in a

579
00:32:57,880 --> 00:32:59,840
Speaker 1: position right now, I'm running for the US Senate. There's

580
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:01,880
Speaker 1: ever been a black man elected to the US Senate

581
00:33:01,880 --> 00:33:04,440
Speaker 1: in Louisiana, with the second black and state in America

582
00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: thirty four percent black. Uh, there's not been a black

583
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:11,600
Speaker 1: person elected statewide in Louisiana since eighteen seventy three. A

584
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,560
Speaker 1: man named PBS pinch Back became the first black governor

585
00:33:14,560 --> 00:33:21,360
Speaker 1: in BS PBS pinch Back, it sounds like Marathon on TV,

586
00:33:21,560 --> 00:33:26,480
Speaker 1: and people become back to the PBS Pinchback seven episodes

587
00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: of Andy Griffin. He is, uh, he was. He was

588
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: elected to the state Senate in Louisiana. He was the

589
00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,960
Speaker 1: president of the state Senate. A black man named Oscar

590
00:33:36,040 --> 00:33:39,600
Speaker 1: Dunn was a lieutenant governor of Louisiana. The governor went

591
00:33:39,600 --> 00:33:43,280
Speaker 1: out in a scandal and I don't remember it was

592
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: something to deal with The election was voted for our

593
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:51,880
Speaker 1: type stuff um and Donne dies, Oscar Dunn dies, Pinchback

594
00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:54,920
Speaker 1: becomes a lieutenant governor, and when the governor goes out

595
00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,800
Speaker 1: in the scandal, Pinchback becomes the first black governor in

596
00:33:57,800 --> 00:33:59,440
Speaker 1: the history of the country. He's the governor for like

597
00:33:59,480 --> 00:34:03,480
Speaker 1: thirties two days uh, and there's not another black governor

598
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,240
Speaker 1: in the country. From eighteen seventy three until nineteen ninety,

599
00:34:07,240 --> 00:34:11,080
Speaker 1: when Douglas Wilder was elected the governor of Virginia, there

600
00:34:11,080 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 1: have only been four black governors in the history of

601
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:15,880
Speaker 1: this country. If Stacy Abrams is elected governor of Georgia,

602
00:34:15,960 --> 00:34:19,719
Speaker 1: she will be the fifth and that five is the

603
00:34:19,760 --> 00:34:23,360
Speaker 1: magic number we need to be fail. Don't give a

604
00:34:23,440 --> 00:34:25,960
Speaker 1: funk what she does at this point. I'm just voting

605
00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,600
Speaker 1: for so she could be. That's right, and every other

606
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,680
Speaker 1: black person in Georgia should do the same, and the

607
00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,400
Speaker 1: same for Raphael Warnock, because Raphael Warnock is the eleventh

608
00:34:34,400 --> 00:34:38,840
Speaker 1: black US Senator. He is the eleventh black US Senator.

609
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:41,080
Speaker 1: If I win, I will be the twelve. I'm trying

610
00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:45,360
Speaker 1: to make sure you whatever I can do. What you

611
00:34:45,400 --> 00:34:47,640

Speaker 1: you've got a problem, call a crackhead. If you got

Speaker 1: somebody who does have five dollars to give a contribution.

624
00:35:19,360 --> 00:35:22,200
Speaker 1: Because the TV ads that you see, the radio ads

625
00:35:22,239 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: that you see, the matter of fact, they give us

626
00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 1: higher prices because we're in politics. For TV and radio advertising,

627
00:35:28,040 --> 00:35:30,240
Speaker 1: we don't pay the regular price that everybody else plays.

628
00:35:30,719 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: The shirts that you see, the push cards that you see,

629
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:36,200
Speaker 1: every dait of that stuff costs money. And I don't

630
00:35:36,200 --> 00:35:38,200
Speaker 1: have a bunch of rich white men giving me money

631
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,359
Speaker 1: because I say, the stuff that supports all of us.

632
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:44,600
Speaker 1: There sir, very few of them. No, but you gotta

633
00:35:44,680 --> 00:35:47,160
Speaker 1: let them know that you are willing to accept their

634
00:35:47,160 --> 00:35:50,920
Speaker 1: white money on the black out. Well that's why, I mean,

635
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:57,560
Speaker 1: I know you need money, man. We you know we

636
00:35:58,360 --> 00:36:00,239
Speaker 1: have had. I will say that we have had a

637
00:36:00,239 --> 00:36:03,839
Speaker 1: lot of support from all demographs and people, thousands of people.

638
00:36:03,880 --> 00:36:06,400
Speaker 1: We had people give to us from forty nine of

639
00:36:06,520 --> 00:36:09,480
Speaker 1: fifty states. Uh. And so I'm proud of that that.

640
00:36:09,600 --> 00:36:12,040
Speaker 1: Hopefully after this you get money out of off what

641
00:36:12,160 --> 00:36:14,840
Speaker 1: state didn't get you know, people, it wasn't North Dakota

642
00:36:14,920 --> 00:36:18,840
Speaker 1: or something. Come on, North Dakota one of those states

643
00:36:19,480 --> 00:36:24,239
Speaker 1: that we didn't have a consumption from something something and

644
00:36:24,239 --> 00:36:28,720
Speaker 1: and and seriously, like nobody told me that we needed

645
00:36:28,760 --> 00:36:32,760
Speaker 1: to invest in politics, right, nobody told me, because reality

646
00:36:32,840 --> 00:36:38,640
Speaker 1: is somebody paying for your politician. The question is who. Yeah, well,

647
00:36:38,640 --> 00:36:41,560
Speaker 1: I don't even know who paying for that ship. I

648
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:44,000
Speaker 1: just know I'm black. And everybody who hadn't been elected

649
00:36:44,040 --> 00:36:47,040
Speaker 1: and made it harder for me progressive, everybody, don't throw

650
00:36:47,080 --> 00:36:52,280
Speaker 1: it ship. I've been out here only the golden years

651
00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:55,800
Speaker 1: for being black was from ninety nine to two thousand

652
00:36:55,800 --> 00:37:00,000
Speaker 1: and three. That's me telling you that because you don't remember.

653
00:37:00,040 --> 00:37:02,080
Speaker 1: But like right around oh eight, that was when the

654
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: first ship happened, the n't run and all that ship

655
00:37:04,960 --> 00:37:07,960
Speaker 1: the first time the white people stole America. I was

656
00:37:08,040 --> 00:37:11,080
Speaker 1: out here. I remember right before that ship happened. They

657
00:37:11,120 --> 00:37:15,760
Speaker 1: was giving niggas calls and houses had three four houses

658
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: just out there living. Everybody had a home. He's moving

659
00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,160
Speaker 1: out to the black people ain't did that well? Six.

660
00:37:23,600 --> 00:37:25,600
Speaker 1: I think that's a real thing that we should discuss

661
00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:29,279
Speaker 1: to like the black folk moveing to the suburbs. That's

662
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:31,520
Speaker 1: how the hood got. But see that's why, that's how

663
00:37:31,600 --> 00:37:35,640
Speaker 1: shit happened. Once they let everybody get them houses and

664
00:37:35,719 --> 00:37:38,200
Speaker 1: then mother couldn't afford them. Then the people who could

665
00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:42,000
Speaker 1: afford them was like ship. We never had rooms since

666
00:37:42,040 --> 00:37:44,400
Speaker 1: we moved out. Of who moving in nothing? They can

667
00:37:44,440 --> 00:37:47,040
Speaker 1: have them, right. They're taking the houses that we didn't want.

668
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:49,600
Speaker 1: They putting a hundred thousand dollars into them and then

669
00:37:49,640 --> 00:37:53,319
Speaker 1: they selling them five hundred thousands. Right. The truth is

670
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:56,080
Speaker 1: that we had gold mines that we let go. My

671
00:37:56,080 --> 00:37:58,920
Speaker 1: mama house was a good house. It was a good house.

672
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: We should have paid the tax us, right, We should

673
00:38:01,640 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: have cleared the title so that one of us to

674
00:38:04,080 --> 00:38:06,239
Speaker 1: have the clear title on the house so we could

675
00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:09,239
Speaker 1: have succession and passed down property. These conversations we need

676
00:38:09,239 --> 00:38:11,640
Speaker 1: to have as black folks. If your mom your grandmoma,

677
00:38:11,719 --> 00:38:13,360
Speaker 1: right now, I ain't got no wheel and she owned

678
00:38:13,480 --> 00:38:17,120
Speaker 1: she got a house, Get grandmama wheel. Right. We had

679
00:38:17,120 --> 00:38:20,520
Speaker 1: a flood of twenties lifelship. We had a flood in

680
00:38:20,920 --> 00:38:24,320
Speaker 1: sixteen UM and one of the leading philanthropists and I

681
00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:26,960
Speaker 1: stayed called me and said, what are black people going

682
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,839
Speaker 1: to struggle with in this flood situation? I said, they're

683
00:38:29,880 --> 00:38:32,200
Speaker 1: gonna struggle with being able to get access to the

684
00:38:32,239 --> 00:38:35,279
Speaker 1: federal resources that have passed down because they don't have

685
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:37,839
Speaker 1: a clear access to the title and the property owner

686
00:38:37,840 --> 00:38:39,640
Speaker 1: of the house. So if you don't have a clear

687
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,920
Speaker 1: person that owns the house, when the fans are sending

688
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:43,959
Speaker 1: your money to fix your flood at home, they can't

689
00:38:43,960 --> 00:38:46,839
Speaker 1: send you the money because you don't own house. Right,

690
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:48,800
Speaker 1: I don't know one of us own the house because

691
00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:51,160
Speaker 1: three of us owned. Three of us got left the house,

692
00:38:51,480 --> 00:38:53,680
Speaker 1: and and we don't talk to each other, and we're mad.

693
00:38:53,760 --> 00:38:56,680
Speaker 1: We're cutting each other about the house that did nobody

694
00:38:56,719 --> 00:39:02,040
Speaker 1: want to live in. You stay there, You so so

695
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:05,000
Speaker 1: to a voice that you put your wheel in place.

696
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:06,920
Speaker 1: So when you need ros get married at each other,

697
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,840
Speaker 1: it's already on paper, right, it's already fixed. Yeah, you

698
00:39:10,880 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: know that picks all the harder and cussing and fussing.

699
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,719
Speaker 1: We know you're gonna get mad. Mama ain't leave you

700
00:39:15,760 --> 00:39:17,680
Speaker 1: what you wanted to leave you. You wasn't good to

701
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:20,520
Speaker 1: when you were living. Don't don't front you know what? Don't.

702
00:39:22,920 --> 00:39:25,799
Speaker 1: They robbed us up a lot of information, and that's

703
00:39:25,840 --> 00:39:28,279
Speaker 1: one thing I can't say. I'm gonna put you on

704
00:39:28,400 --> 00:39:33,920
Speaker 1: that uh day rob us. We ain't read. I'm straight

705
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:37,360
Speaker 1: up nobody told we couldn't go to the library for

706
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:41,560
Speaker 1: a long time. Well, our generation has no excuse not

707
00:39:41,600 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: to have information. I went to my first city council meeting.

708
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:47,759
Speaker 1: I was ignorant when I got there, but I read

709
00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:50,520
Speaker 1: the agenda like anybody else. And once I read the agenda,

710
00:39:50,560 --> 00:39:53,680
Speaker 1: I read the next agenda and I started understanding how

711
00:39:53,719 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 1: this money thing works. And I think that all of us,

712
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:58,680
Speaker 1: every one of us, should just take time, even if

713
00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:00,839
Speaker 1: you're gonna go to a city coll of meeting, just

714
00:40:00,920 --> 00:40:03,360
Speaker 1: pull up your local city council met one day and

715
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:07,560
Speaker 1: just why and listen to the conversation that the people

716
00:40:07,560 --> 00:40:11,360
Speaker 1: are having about your community. And if you listen to

717
00:40:11,400 --> 00:40:14,719
Speaker 1: one of them conversations, you will, I promise you, you

718
00:40:14,719 --> 00:40:17,520
Speaker 1: will get more involved because you're not going to agree

719
00:40:17,520 --> 00:40:19,880
Speaker 1: with what you're hearing. I know that because when I

720
00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:21,919
Speaker 1: sit and talk to people who are in our age group,

721
00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:25,400
Speaker 1: We think generally in the same way. We might have

722
00:40:25,440 --> 00:40:28,560
Speaker 1: some nuances and differences, but generally, the majority of young

723
00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:33,080
Speaker 1: people believe cannabis should be legal, right. The majority of

724
00:40:33,160 --> 00:40:36,800
Speaker 1: young people believe that health care should be universal. Everybody

725
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:39,480
Speaker 1: should be able to go to the doctor. The majority

726
00:40:39,520 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: of young people believe that you should not have to

727
00:40:41,280 --> 00:40:44,960
Speaker 1: pay the gold college right, that if it's a state institute,

728
00:40:45,000 --> 00:40:46,800
Speaker 1: you I should be able to go again college education.

729
00:40:47,000 --> 00:40:49,960
Speaker 1: The majority of the young people believe that, right. Why

730
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:51,759
Speaker 1: in the hell don't you show up and go just

731
00:40:51,880 --> 00:40:55,200
Speaker 1: press a button to say, guess what I believe it's

732
00:40:55,280 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: that's that's what voting is going and showing a pressing

733
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,719
Speaker 1: of butt and say this person believes in that. I'm

734
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,399
Speaker 1: sending them to go speak for me. Whether you are

735
00:41:04,800 --> 00:41:08,320
Speaker 1: a city council member, a state representative, a state senator,

736
00:41:08,680 --> 00:41:11,239
Speaker 1: or a congress person, that is in essence, what you're

737
00:41:11,320 --> 00:41:15,040
Speaker 1: voting for. And those people vote to a point, a

738
00:41:15,120 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: lot of people who make a whole lot of decisions.

739
00:41:17,520 --> 00:41:20,080
Speaker 1: Library boys, you're a figure out how library end up

740
00:41:20,080 --> 00:41:23,960
Speaker 1: in your neighborhood or not. There's a library board in

741
00:41:24,040 --> 00:41:28,160
Speaker 1: most communities. How get the library board. How you get

742
00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:31,200
Speaker 1: on the library board the city council. So your city

743
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:35,359
Speaker 1: council member usually appoint your library board. Your library board

Speaker 1: tax tax dollars out of your property taxes to pay

745
00:41:38,120 --> 00:41:40,279
Speaker 1: for the library. And says Clayton, let's go down the city.

746
00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:43,319
Speaker 1: Just get on a bunch of boards. Man, I can't wait.

747
00:41:43,360 --> 00:41:46,400
Speaker 1: So do you gotta be there every day? No, you

748
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,960
Speaker 1: need some money. Oh yeah, you may have two meters

00:42:02,880 --> 00:42:07,520
Speaker 1: with the Republicans. I don't know. They ball they've bothered

754
00:42:07,760 --> 00:42:12,000
Speaker 1: for this community taking the rich to give to the ship.

755
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:14,759
Speaker 1: I'm going over there to get rich rich the rich

756
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:18,200
Speaker 1: and play funk everybody else like they do. What if

757
00:42:18,239 --> 00:42:20,279

760
00:42:30,719 --> 00:42:32,839
Speaker 1: I think that's probably what happened to though. Man, they

761
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,359
Speaker 1: get over there and get to do in the evil

762
00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:36,760
Speaker 1: ship and the ship feel good. Man, they just probably

763
00:42:36,800 --> 00:42:39,920
Speaker 1: feel good reefing over them. I think what really happens

764
00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:44,520
Speaker 1: is people get trapped. Yeah, that that I always thought about. Uh.

765
00:42:45,680 --> 00:42:49,759
Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't say that. The gonna say it. Uh Okay, Look,

766
00:42:49,800 --> 00:42:52,439
Speaker 1: I gotta ask you this because you might say some ship.

767
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: I don't want you to say that. I feel like you.

768
00:42:55,200 --> 00:43:00,560
Speaker 1: I don't know, I promise, go ahead. Uh six thousand

769
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:04,000
Speaker 1: dollar negro that ain't enough. Listen, I'm I'm gonna break

770
00:43:04,000 --> 00:43:06,200
Speaker 1: it down girls, way more than that, though. Listen to

771
00:43:06,280 --> 00:43:10,040
Speaker 1: what I'm telling you. Somebody who makes sixty dollars a

772
00:43:10,200 --> 00:43:16,080
Speaker 1: year in bad ruge is just between the median income

773
00:43:16,440 --> 00:43:19,560
Speaker 1: of a black bad ruge and the meeting income a

774
00:43:19,600 --> 00:43:22,960
Speaker 1: white baton ruge. White baton rouge media income is eighty

775
00:43:23,000 --> 00:43:26,359
Speaker 1: four thousand a year. Black meeting incomes forty two. Right,

776
00:43:26,719 --> 00:43:30,160
Speaker 1: if I make sixty, I'm right in the middle. I

777
00:43:30,280 --> 00:43:32,319
Speaker 1: don't want to go back to the hood, and I'm

778
00:43:32,320 --> 00:43:35,120
Speaker 1: trying to get the where they are. So when I'm

779
00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:39,040
Speaker 1: in this position and the question comes and I am

780
00:43:39,080 --> 00:43:43,200
Speaker 1: not gonna speak up on this black issue, well, my

781
00:43:43,280 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 1: baby had a good school. I live in a nice neighborhood.

782
00:43:46,920 --> 00:43:48,520
Speaker 1: And if I say that, the man on the job

783
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:52,560
Speaker 1: might get mad. Now I understand the frustration and the situation,

784
00:43:53,360 --> 00:43:55,520
Speaker 1: but the question is are you gonna be bound to

785
00:43:55,719 --> 00:43:58,120
Speaker 1: that for the rest of your life, because don't call

786
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:02,320
Speaker 1: me then when it's your son on the side of

787
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:04,040
Speaker 1: the road with the police in the middle of the night.

788
00:44:04,680 --> 00:44:07,360
Speaker 1: And the last time the dude was at the step

789
00:44:07,480 --> 00:44:09,840
Speaker 1: that the stoke selling CDs. You were saying I was

790
00:44:09,960 --> 00:44:11,719
Speaker 1: doing too much when I was out there for him,

791
00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:14,120
Speaker 1: But you don't know. I was out there for a

792
00:44:14,160 --> 00:44:17,880
Speaker 1: sixteen year old kid named Jakobe Davis three months before.

793
00:44:18,840 --> 00:44:20,759
Speaker 1: And if we had dealt with the cops who was

794
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,440
Speaker 1: on Jakobe Davis, Alt and Sterling would have never got

795
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:27,040
Speaker 1: killed because the same cople puts you Kobe Davis in

796
00:44:27,040 --> 00:44:29,120
Speaker 1: the back of the head and earth Day in April

797
00:44:29,960 --> 00:44:32,680
Speaker 1: shot out to Sterling Jue out of fifth seen at

798
00:44:32,719 --> 00:44:36,480
Speaker 1: the Triples grocery store. I wrote columns on both of them.

799
00:44:38,840 --> 00:44:41,600
Speaker 1: So you say I'm a crazy man, Howling and the

800
00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: wind all you want to the truth is the truth

801
00:44:46,760 --> 00:44:50,960
Speaker 1: and sixty thousand dollar black folks who are more concerned

802
00:44:50,960 --> 00:44:54,759
Speaker 1: about that salary and that neighborhooood create a problem for

803
00:44:54,920 --> 00:44:57,520
Speaker 1: us as a people, because we need all of us

804
00:44:57,600 --> 00:44:59,920
Speaker 1: to use our platforms and whichever way we can to

805
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:03,960
Speaker 1: say now that's a bull. Is that simple? All of

806
00:45:04,040 --> 00:45:06,839
Speaker 1: us got to be a little uncomfortable. You don't get

807
00:45:06,880 --> 00:45:09,840
Speaker 1: to say you don't care about politics. Politics get in

808
00:45:09,920 --> 00:45:13,400
Speaker 1: your business every day. You're tired of being over police

809
00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:15,239
Speaker 1: in your community, did you, volks don't get on the

810
00:45:15,320 --> 00:45:18,200
Speaker 1: end they're talking all that trash to me about protesting

811
00:45:18,239 --> 00:45:20,080
Speaker 1: and being mad with the protline with you're asking your

812
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:28,680
Speaker 1: own vote. Don't call me, call the crack ahead, call somebody.

813
00:45:28,760 --> 00:45:33,799
Speaker 1: Don't call me now. Now, what if that was our disposition?

814
00:45:34,560 --> 00:45:37,560
Speaker 1: What if that's the disposition of the advocates in our communities.

815
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:40,800
Speaker 1: It's not We're gonna show up for whoever callers, whatever

816
00:45:40,880 --> 00:45:42,759
Speaker 1: the situation is. I've been fighting for a brother named

817
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:45,279
Speaker 1: Ronald Green. I never met that man. State police in

818
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:48,520
Speaker 1: Louisiana killed him on the side of the row. Here

819
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:51,120
Speaker 1: the video. For two years, I stood on the steps

820
00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:52,839
Speaker 1: of the state capital and told the governor, they say

821
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:55,080
Speaker 1: he's a good white man, job be a good white man.

822
00:45:58,280 --> 00:46:01,480
Speaker 1: See he can't be saying that type was John Bill

823
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:05,000
Speaker 1: next John Bell being a good man. Let me tell

824
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:07,400
Speaker 1: you why you can say that, because Black people make

825
00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:09,680
Speaker 1: a thirty four percent of the state of Louisiana, and

826
00:46:09,760 --> 00:46:11,759
Speaker 1: when that white man was elected, black people was four

827
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:14,040
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty thousand of the seven hundred thousand votes

828
00:46:14,080 --> 00:46:18,520
Speaker 1: he got. And you owe us Southern and what you

829
00:46:18,600 --> 00:46:23,000
Speaker 1: owe us is justice. I'm a math person and God

830
00:46:23,080 --> 00:46:27,160
Speaker 1: we trust everybody else. Bring data. Black people are nine

831
00:46:27,280 --> 00:46:30,560
Speaker 1: hundred thousand registered voters in Louisiana, one point two million

832
00:46:30,600 --> 00:46:36,720
Speaker 1: eligible voters. John Kennedy, the crackhead candidate, had five hundred

833
00:46:36,760 --> 00:46:39,719
Speaker 1: and thirty six thousand votes to win. It's nine ounther

834
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:43,400
Speaker 1: thousand Black people in Louisiana, nine thousand registered black voters,

835
00:46:43,840 --> 00:46:46,640
Speaker 1: one point to million eligible black voters, five hundred and

836
00:46:46,719 --> 00:46:50,160
Speaker 1: thirty six thousand voters. What he won with mission up

837
00:46:50,200 --> 00:46:52,719
Speaker 1: again thirty days before that. And I'm high while I'm

838
00:46:52,760 --> 00:46:56,319
Speaker 1: telling you this. Thirty days that, Okay, Hillary Clinton got

839
00:46:56,360 --> 00:47:01,879
Speaker 1: five hundred and eighty thousand black votes, but thirty days later,

840
00:47:02,400 --> 00:47:04,759
Speaker 1: this man wins with five hundred thirty six thousand volts

841
00:47:04,920 --> 00:47:09,640
Speaker 1: because of black voters in New Orleans showed up. Black

842
00:47:09,719 --> 00:47:12,399
Speaker 1: voters in Bad Legions Center, black voters in tree Board

843
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:15,120
Speaker 1: showed up. If just the black people that showed up

844
00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,080
Speaker 1: thirty days before that showed up again, John Kennedy would

845
00:47:18,080 --> 00:47:20,120
Speaker 1: not be the US center to talk about crack kads today.

846
00:47:20,360 --> 00:47:22,759
Speaker 1: So you saying if black people just went out and

847
00:47:22,920 --> 00:47:25,920
Speaker 1: voted black, hell just one good time, We've seen him home.

848
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:30,359
Speaker 1: I'm saying, like the whole show. So like the next

849
00:47:30,400 --> 00:47:34,960
Speaker 1: time this election, all the blacks, If November eight, in

850
00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:38,960
Speaker 1: every state that black people have a voting power block,

851
00:47:39,440 --> 00:47:42,040
Speaker 1: we show up in masses, we will flip the whole

852
00:47:42,080 --> 00:47:46,880
Speaker 1: scale worldwide, all over this country. You may you can go.

853
00:47:47,440 --> 00:47:50,560
Speaker 1: That's the type of ship that needs to be sick. Seriously,

854
00:47:50,880 --> 00:47:54,400
Speaker 1: you can elect We've had eleven black US Senators in

855
00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:57,279
Speaker 1: the history of the country. Right, if black people show up,

856
00:47:57,880 --> 00:48:02,240
Speaker 1: you can elect mcdella bons and we're Wisconsin val Demons

857
00:48:02,280 --> 00:48:08,360
Speaker 1: in Florida, Charles Booker in Kentucky, Shared Beasley in North Carolina,

858
00:48:09,480 --> 00:48:14,799
Speaker 1: and me and Louisiana. Man, you five new black US

859
00:48:14,840 --> 00:48:19,000
Speaker 1: sentiments in the US Senate at the same time. They

860
00:48:19,040 --> 00:48:20,799
Speaker 1: have never been more than three at the same talk.

861
00:48:22,440 --> 00:48:25,200
Speaker 1: That's the type of ship black people. They've never been

862
00:48:25,239 --> 00:48:28,279
Speaker 1: more than with all of them people you name, they

863
00:48:28,360 --> 00:48:30,480
Speaker 1: need to come down here too. Well, you do it

864
00:48:32,880 --> 00:48:38,640
Speaker 1: number before we leave. Okay, it's nothing like if Charles Booker,

865
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:43,120
Speaker 1: uh is doable if black folks shot. Mandela Barns is

866
00:48:43,160 --> 00:48:46,960
Speaker 1: already the lieutenant governor of Wisconsin, so he's already been

867
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:50,120
Speaker 1: elected statewide. The question is is Milwaukee gonna show up

868
00:48:50,160 --> 00:48:54,160
Speaker 1: in masses? Right? How did Joe Biden become the president?

869
00:48:54,480 --> 00:48:56,719
Speaker 1: Because he was chilling with Obama and we thought he

870
00:48:56,840 --> 00:49:00,279
Speaker 1: was good because because on election night, we was for

871
00:49:00,840 --> 00:49:03,080
Speaker 1: black cities to show up. We was waiting for the

872
00:49:03,120 --> 00:49:06,360
Speaker 1: boats in Philadelphia for for Pennsylvania. We was waiting for

873
00:49:06,440 --> 00:49:09,799
Speaker 1: the votes in Atlanta for Georgia. Right, we was waiting

874
00:49:09,840 --> 00:49:15,239
Speaker 1: for Phoenix and Arizona. That's brown people, okay, Right, In

875
00:49:15,640 --> 00:49:19,239
Speaker 1: every state that Joe Biden made a flip, it was

876
00:49:19,360 --> 00:49:22,839
Speaker 1: black votes that they was waiting off, every one of them.

877
00:49:24,640 --> 00:49:28,839
Speaker 1: When when when Leader Abrams didn't win in in her

878
00:49:28,960 --> 00:49:31,480
Speaker 1: last election, I wasn't looking for white women. You know

879
00:49:31,560 --> 00:49:33,680
Speaker 1: what I was looking for waring with the forty thou

880
00:49:33,960 --> 00:49:36,520
Speaker 1: votes of black folks and folting in the Cab County.

881
00:49:36,760 --> 00:49:40,440
Speaker 1: You know what I said, They stole it from they

882
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:43,320
Speaker 1: did see it. Now we gotta we gotta add we

883
00:49:43,440 --> 00:49:46,960
Speaker 1: gotta do that out there. We can't. Let let me

884
00:49:46,960 --> 00:49:49,360
Speaker 1: tell you what I appreciate about say what I appreciate

885
00:49:49,400 --> 00:49:54,759
Speaker 1: about leading Abrams that she understands that they cheated, and

886
00:49:54,920 --> 00:49:57,160
Speaker 1: now she say, to hell with it. I'm gonna run

887
00:49:57,239 --> 00:50:00,160
Speaker 1: up to store because if when when somebody cheat saw

888
00:50:00,239 --> 00:50:03,560
Speaker 1: you in the game, the way that you win is

889
00:50:03,680 --> 00:50:05,719
Speaker 1: running the store up so that no matter what the

890
00:50:05,760 --> 00:50:08,960
Speaker 1: reps do, they can't beat you. So Nita Abrams said,

891
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,239
Speaker 1: all right, U s ob stolen from me. I'm gonna

892
00:50:12,360 --> 00:50:16,360
Speaker 1: register eight hundred thousand voters. So the next time an

893
00:50:16,400 --> 00:50:19,000
Speaker 1: election shows up and you think you, oh, you stole

894
00:50:19,040 --> 00:50:21,440
Speaker 1: a hundred thousand, two hundred thousand, I got eight hundred

895
00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:28,800
Speaker 1: thousand steal in right, I'm on your stay. Abrams, No,

896
00:50:29,040 --> 00:50:31,640
Speaker 1: line is probably one of the most gangster people in

897
00:50:31,719 --> 00:50:34,279
Speaker 1: politics in America. That's why I hate it so much.

898
00:50:34,640 --> 00:50:37,520
Speaker 1: That's why you see so much advertising attacking her, because

899
00:50:38,040 --> 00:50:40,479
Speaker 1: when you stold something from me and I said, okay, cool,

900
00:50:40,719 --> 00:50:44,560
Speaker 1: all right, bucket, you stole it. I'm gonna register eight

901
00:50:44,600 --> 00:50:47,280
Speaker 1: hundred thousand, and I'm gonna take two years Senate seats

902
00:50:48,080 --> 00:50:51,319
Speaker 1: for that one governor's race. You stolen from me. That's

903
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:55,560
Speaker 1: a bad ass black woman. Man. Why you ain't I

904
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:57,879
Speaker 1: been trying to get Hey, I've been trying to get

905
00:50:57,920 --> 00:51:01,000
Speaker 1: here assistance. So I'm just said, but you don't want

906
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:03,279
Speaker 1: to get it. Who wasn't it wasn't let you come do?

907
00:51:03,719 --> 00:51:06,600

00:51:06,680 --> 00:51:09,360
Speaker 1: the whole? I ain't blaming nobody. We hit it. We

909
00:51:09,520 --> 00:51:14,400
Speaker 1: hit it, damn bright. And I never said that publicly

910
00:51:14,440 --> 00:51:17,400
Speaker 1: because not because I don't support it, but because I

911
00:51:17,520 --> 00:51:19,160
Speaker 1: think that we just don't have the space to tell

912
00:51:19,200 --> 00:51:21,840
Speaker 1: the truth a lot of time. Drop what's the what

Speaker 1: mess the whole system up. Damn. It would shock the

957
00:54:07,719 --> 00:54:11,279
Speaker 1: system in a way that I don't think black people

958
00:54:11,320 --> 00:54:14,040
Speaker 1: have done since reconstruction. That would be hard. What if

959
00:54:14,080 --> 00:54:15,879
Speaker 1: we just woke up one day and they was reading

960
00:54:15,920 --> 00:54:18,480

00:54:30,760 --> 00:54:36,600
Speaker 1: FBI was investigating her all of years for supporting Now

964
00:54:36,800 --> 00:54:39,640
Speaker 1: you know this is another thing, right man? Don't this

965
00:54:39,760 --> 00:54:42,040
Speaker 1: help for me? I've been doing common in seventeen years now.

966
00:54:42,080 --> 00:54:44,120
Speaker 1: If I support you and they started investigating me and

967
00:54:44,280 --> 00:54:48,560
Speaker 1: be mad as there, But let's be honest. Okay, nothing

968
00:54:49,040 --> 00:54:52,759
Speaker 1: all right? If if in any way you are uh,

969
00:54:53,239 --> 00:54:58,480
Speaker 1: massively influential with the culture, somebody is watching it. But

970
00:54:58,600 --> 00:55:00,760
Speaker 1: that's the thing. But we just reach which they're watching.

971
00:55:00,800 --> 00:55:04,400
Speaker 1: You know what we are. We're what you're called provocateurs

972
00:55:04,480 --> 00:55:09,520
Speaker 1: of information. Yeah, we just provide information. Yeah, we're provocateur.

973
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:13,720
Speaker 1: We provide the information and let people make their own decisions.

974
00:55:13,760 --> 00:55:16,160
Speaker 1: We don't never tell nobody what to do. You know

975
00:55:16,400 --> 00:55:18,880
Speaker 1: who did that? So hopefully you don't gotta go through that.

976
00:55:19,200 --> 00:55:25,360
Speaker 1: There's this picture of Malcolm X uh, Sam Cook and

977
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,160
Speaker 1: Mohammed Ali walking out of a hotel in Miami, right

978
00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:33,759
Speaker 1: one night in Miami. They maybe, yeah, they go in,

979
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:38,759
Speaker 1: they have a conversation. Um. I don't think we see

980
00:55:38,880 --> 00:55:41,600
Speaker 1: enough images like that today, and then when we do,

981
00:55:42,440 --> 00:55:45,640
Speaker 1: we criticize the black activists that we do see we're

982
00:55:45,719 --> 00:55:49,160
Speaker 1: hip hop and entertainment. When the truth is Ali and

983
00:55:49,239 --> 00:55:53,160
Speaker 1: Muhammad Ali, I mean Ali and Malcolm X and Sam

984
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:59,120
Speaker 1: Cooke was Homeboards, right. And Sam Cooke and Mohammed Ali

985
00:55:59,280 --> 00:56:03,040
Speaker 1: were funded the work that was happening to help black

986
00:56:03,120 --> 00:56:06,759
Speaker 1: food right. Uh. And we know that Jay Z and

987
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:08,879
Speaker 1: a lot of folks in the industry do do things.

988
00:56:09,280 --> 00:56:11,719
Speaker 1: I think that we should be challenging all of our

989
00:56:11,920 --> 00:56:14,160
Speaker 1: artists and all of the people who influence the culture

990
00:56:14,520 --> 00:56:17,200
Speaker 1: to be putting that same level of influence. If you're

991
00:56:17,239 --> 00:56:19,480
Speaker 1: not talking to the activists in your network or in

992
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:23,080
Speaker 1: your community, Uh, you really have a deficit because the

993
00:56:23,239 --> 00:56:25,839
Speaker 1: change that you could be making happen, you're not really

994
00:56:25,920 --> 00:56:29,080
Speaker 1: making it happen. The truth is, you don't need to

995
00:56:29,080 --> 00:56:33,560
Speaker 1: be a scape escape escape goat Jones, that's my daughter.

996
00:56:35,239 --> 00:56:37,359
Speaker 1: I was rushing then I had a little smoke a month.

997
00:56:37,640 --> 00:56:43,040
Speaker 1: You you you have to have a real pipeline of information.

998
00:56:43,440 --> 00:56:45,160
Speaker 1: And the reality is you don't need to be a

999
00:56:45,200 --> 00:56:48,800
Speaker 1: subject matter expert. They have subject matter experts. What do

1000
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,880
Speaker 1: they not have in order to do the work? Is

1001
00:56:51,920 --> 00:56:55,840
Speaker 1: it resources? Is it passing information? Is it connectivity to

1002
00:56:55,960 --> 00:56:58,600
Speaker 1: certain people? Those are the conversations that we should be having.

1003
00:56:58,880 --> 00:57:01,600
Speaker 1: But we gotta have a room where we see and

1004
00:57:01,760 --> 00:57:04,800
Speaker 1: have that conversation where we're not judging each other on

1005
00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:08,600
Speaker 1: either side, right, Uh, it's activists. We should be able

1006
00:57:08,640 --> 00:57:10,480
Speaker 1: to answer the questions about the work that we do

1007
00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:14,640
Speaker 1: and be challenged on that. But the same should be

1008
00:57:14,960 --> 00:57:17,480
Speaker 1: for artists and entertainers of people in the culture. We

1009
00:57:17,520 --> 00:57:19,360
Speaker 1: should be able to have a conversation where we walk

1010
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,480
Speaker 1: in and are able to challenge the things that the

1011
00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,160
Speaker 1: culture is doing because we are both impacted by what

1012
00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:29,760
Speaker 1: the other does, whether we realize it a lot. I

1013
00:57:29,800 --> 00:57:32,360
Speaker 1: always argue that you know, they're back and forth about

1014
00:57:32,600 --> 00:57:35,720
Speaker 1: what we as black people need to do. There's so many,

1015
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:39,200
Speaker 1: so many point of views on that, and like points

1016
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,960
Speaker 1: of view, I don't think there's no one thing that

1017
00:57:43,080 --> 00:57:44,720
Speaker 1: we need to do. I think that's what I say

1018
00:57:44,800 --> 00:57:46,840
Speaker 1: all the time. I think that we got to recognize

1019
00:57:46,880 --> 00:57:49,120
Speaker 1: that everybody has their own lane and their own gift,

1020
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:53,680
Speaker 1: and that the value is Let's say, you love kids, well,

1021
00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:57,640
Speaker 1: that ain't my gift, right, and you want to man,

1022
00:57:58,720 --> 00:58:01,919
Speaker 1: I got one. Um. I love my daughter to death.

1023
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:03,920
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do everything I can to be a provided

1024
00:58:03,960 --> 00:58:05,880
Speaker 1: for her, But I'm not looking to take care of

1025
00:58:05,920 --> 00:58:08,240
Speaker 1: everybody else kids. That's not my gift, right, I don't.

1026
00:58:08,280 --> 00:58:10,760
Speaker 1: You don't want me any class from teaching chairing. Uh.

1027
00:58:11,200 --> 00:58:14,240
Speaker 1: For me, this is what I do well. But for

1028
00:58:14,400 --> 00:58:16,840
Speaker 1: those who want to work with young people and children,

1029
00:58:16,880 --> 00:58:18,960
Speaker 1: we need them and we need to fund that work.

1030
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:20,760
Speaker 1: We need to make sure that they've got resources for

1031
00:58:20,880 --> 00:58:24,560
Speaker 1: after school programs, tutoring, mentorship, and just stuff for kids

1032
00:58:24,640 --> 00:58:27,280
Speaker 1: to do to stay occupied. Right. Okay, So it's gonna

1033
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:29,919
Speaker 1: be people in the community that's gonna say, well, what's

1034
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:34,280
Speaker 1: the hold up? I think the hold up is how

1035
00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,360
Speaker 1: many of us have not said at tables and talked

1036
00:58:36,400 --> 00:58:38,200
Speaker 1: about how we can do it, and then actually, when

1037
00:58:38,200 --> 00:58:40,280
Speaker 1: I did it, I ain't looking for like ten ten

1038
00:58:40,440 --> 00:58:43,920
Speaker 1: ms right for me, it's really like, here, we all

1039
00:58:44,000 --> 00:58:46,560
Speaker 1: know the problems. Let's send out, have a conversation, throw

1040
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:48,680
Speaker 1: some money on the pad, and go fix one problem.

1041
00:58:48,880 --> 00:58:50,920
Speaker 1: How can we fix that problem? Go fix another problem?

1042
00:58:51,120 --> 00:58:53,080
Speaker 1: What's three foil things we say that we won't come

1043
00:58:53,120 --> 00:58:55,200
Speaker 1: together and do, and let's do them three fol things.

1044
00:58:55,440 --> 00:58:57,280
Speaker 1: After we do them, we find three four more things

1045
00:58:57,320 --> 00:58:59,480
Speaker 1: to do. How you hear the elephant one bite at

1046
00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,800
Speaker 1: the time that said one issue at the time. We

1047
00:59:02,960 --> 00:59:06,680
Speaker 1: cannot fix everything overnight. We didn't get it overnight, right,

1048
00:59:07,360 --> 00:59:09,160
Speaker 1: We did not get into the condition that we are

1049
00:59:09,200 --> 00:59:11,400
Speaker 1: as a people overnight. So if we're gonna change the

1050
00:59:11,440 --> 00:59:13,600
Speaker 1: condition of our people, we're gonna have to do the work.

1051
00:59:14,000 --> 00:59:18,320
Speaker 1: And the work takes time. That's another thing I think

1052
00:59:18,360 --> 00:59:23,400
Speaker 1: young people gotta really embrace that, like it takes time

1053
00:59:23,480 --> 00:59:25,640
Speaker 1: for these things to happen. You can't get mad something

1054
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,120
Speaker 1: didn't happen our way. Somebody lost the election that we say,

1055
00:59:28,120 --> 00:59:29,800
Speaker 1: the hell with it. I ain't voting no more, I

1056
00:59:29,840 --> 00:59:32,240
Speaker 1: ain't coming no more because the person I was funning

1057
00:59:32,240 --> 00:59:35,160
Speaker 1: and win a system. Read it's against us. It is real,

1058
00:59:35,480 --> 00:59:42,360
Speaker 1: it is against us. Let's do something about it. That's real. See,

1059
00:59:42,440 --> 00:59:44,680
Speaker 1: that's why you need more platforms and talk this kind

1060
00:59:44,720 --> 00:59:47,880
Speaker 1: of ship. I do you do? And that's why we've

1061
00:59:47,920 --> 00:59:51,200
Speaker 1: been trying to get you on here. Man. We had

1062
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:56,280
Speaker 1: the backwoods people ready to got damn do something. The

1063
00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:01,280
Speaker 1: campaigning and ship like that. You need this, okay, bet Now,

1066
01:00:16,680 --> 01:00:23,480
Speaker 1: it's so good. I feel you when you're talking about

1067
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:26,800
Speaker 1: the Louisiana ship though, because I'm from Mississippi and ship

1068
01:00:28,920 --> 01:00:31,439
Speaker 1: the two black estates in America. Mississippi is the black

1069
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:33,720
Speaker 1: and state in America, thirty seven percent black. You're trying

1070
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:35,960
Speaker 1: to tell motherfucker's they don't want to hear this. You know,

1071
01:00:36,040 --> 01:00:38,160
Speaker 1: I had this, this concept of a new Black South.

1072
01:00:38,960 --> 01:00:40,800
Speaker 1: I want all black people in all other places to

1073
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:44,520
Speaker 1: move back to the South so we can take it over. Man,

1074
01:00:45,200 --> 01:00:47,320
Speaker 1: don't let nobody hear this. Ship. That would be the

1075
01:00:47,440 --> 01:00:51,880
Speaker 1: best movement of the summer. It's it's the it's the

1076
01:00:52,000 --> 01:00:55,760
Speaker 1: great migration in reverse all black folks in the nineties

1077
01:00:55,800 --> 01:00:58,720
Speaker 1: and for is we left the South to go to Detroit, Chicago,

1078
01:00:58,920 --> 01:01:02,440
Speaker 1: New York, l A. Because they had jobs and less racism.

1079
01:01:02,600 --> 01:01:07,280
Speaker 1: Right black focus, right, right right, Because if you look

1080
01:01:07,360 --> 01:01:12,680
Speaker 1: at it, what Lakwam McDonald was in Chicago. Uh, I

1081
01:01:12,720 --> 01:01:15,000
Speaker 1: can name somebody in every different city that we went

1082
01:01:15,080 --> 01:01:17,520
Speaker 1: to that were the same things that we deal with

1083
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:20,520
Speaker 1: in the South. The question is how do black people

1084
01:01:20,560 --> 01:01:25,760
Speaker 1: build critical mass? And if we build critical mass, concentration, concentration,

1085
01:01:26,040 --> 01:01:28,720
Speaker 1: and then you go from two or three Black US

1086
01:01:28,760 --> 01:01:32,520
Speaker 1: silators to potentially sixteen sixteen out of a hundred when

1087
01:01:32,560 --> 01:01:36,280
Speaker 1: you only need fifty votes to pass Southern I'm talking

1088
01:01:36,280 --> 01:01:41,520
Speaker 1: about taking over I hope that ship happened in my life.

1089
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:48,680
Speaker 1: Hip hop they go. If the industry start talking about it,

1090
01:01:48,720 --> 01:01:58,200
Speaker 1: it's over. Yeah. Hip hop influences everything, everything, and that's

1091
01:01:58,240 --> 01:02:00,600
Speaker 1: why we try to use this platform to bring on

1092
01:02:00,720 --> 01:02:03,880
Speaker 1: a variety of people, man, so we can have this information,

1093
01:02:05,040 --> 01:02:07,440
Speaker 1: you know, all across the board. Man, we bring all

1094
01:02:07,560 --> 01:02:11,000
Speaker 1: types of entertainers and people who do a multitude of

1095
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:14,960
Speaker 1: different things, so we can have the resources and the information.

1096
01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:17,840
Speaker 1: Everybody come through here, dropped some jewels and we just

1097
01:02:17,880 --> 01:02:19,800
Speaker 1: stacked them. Uk. You know, now we just got a

1098
01:02:19,840 --> 01:02:32,560
Speaker 1: whole fucking jewels store, Crazy Mississippi with part Oxford, great

1099
01:02:32,600 --> 01:02:40,720
Speaker 1: old Place, Old MS Home of the Rebels. You know,

1100
01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:43,800
Speaker 1: you gotta go one day, you gotta go. We get

1101
01:02:43,840 --> 01:02:50,760
Speaker 1: criticized a lot, uh for this. Yeah yeah, but asked

1102
01:02:50,760 --> 01:02:53,720
Speaker 1: the question why we never criticize politicians who drink on

1103
01:02:53,840 --> 01:02:57,840
Speaker 1: camera every day and more people die from drunk driving

1104
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:01,240
Speaker 1: then they do from smoker week. You think we should

1105
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:07,640
Speaker 1: start like Ostra Sazin. I think we should just play fare. Yeah.

1106
01:03:08,280 --> 01:03:10,040
Speaker 1: And I know a lot of smoking politicians they just

1107
01:03:10,040 --> 01:03:14,720
Speaker 1: don't smoke publicly. Yeah, they can't got image. I've got

1108

1121
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:09,880
Speaker 1: just like you said, going out there, and then as

1128
01:04:30,200 --> 01:04:34,400

1134
01:04:50,840 --> 01:04:55,320
Speaker 1: like this whole controversial. It's not. Elon Musk was smoking

Speaker 1: on all be for the purpose to be doing it for.

1151
01:06:02,920 --> 01:06:05,280
Speaker 1: Let me say what I think is something that we

1152
01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:09,520
Speaker 1: need to be able to accept that somebody can do

1153
01:06:09,720 --> 01:06:18,800
Speaker 1: something exceptional right and still be of no value to us. Wow. Yeah, yeah,

01:06:18,960 --> 01:06:23,840
Speaker 1: you're right. I can't deny that what he's doing with

1155
01:06:23,960 --> 01:06:28,240
Speaker 1: his company is is exceptional. That is exceptional. Is he

1195
01:09:04,479 --> 01:09:07,360
Speaker 1: we got here, right and you look at where we

1196
01:09:07,439 --> 01:09:10,960
Speaker 1: are progressed in that fifty year time span, most folks

1197
01:09:10,960 --> 01:09:12,880
Speaker 1: couldn't have done as much as black folks have done

1198
01:09:12,920 --> 01:09:16,920
Speaker 1: since we got off of the plantation or off of

1199
01:09:17,160 --> 01:09:21,320
Speaker 1: the gym code system that exists in America. It's not

1200
01:09:21,520 --> 01:09:25,080
Speaker 1: it's just not gonna happen. I dare us that have

1201
01:09:25,160 --> 01:09:27,760
Speaker 1: put white folks in the condition that black folks were

1202
01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:29,840
Speaker 1: in in America and see what they're producing for the year.

1203
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,280
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, now, wait a minute, there's no need

1206
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:45,479
Speaker 1: beautiful part about being black man, that resiliencick. You never know, man,

1207
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:47,639
Speaker 1: this ship might fe like you said, at any moment.

1208
01:09:47,840 --> 01:09:51,200
Speaker 1: You never know when we might go and just show

1209
01:09:51,320 --> 01:09:53,040
Speaker 1: up in numbers and just you know what I'm saying,

1210
01:09:53,400 --> 01:09:55,880

1213
01:10:01,560 --> 01:10:05,280

1214
01:10:05,400 --> 01:10:07,559
Speaker 1: of that, And I'm like, man, first of all, people

1215
01:10:07,600 --> 01:10:09,200
Speaker 1: act like that we got they'd be like, oh, you

1216
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:12,560
Speaker 1: gotta do what you gotta do. Nobody complains and not

1217
01:10:12,800 --> 01:10:15,320
Speaker 1: does anything. That's the thing, Like, I don't know where

1218
01:10:15,360 --> 01:10:17,400
Speaker 1: these motherfucker's that you're seeing like you you know what

1219
01:10:17,439 --> 01:10:21,080
Speaker 1: I'm saying, Like motherfucker's ain't just sitting back and not

1220
01:10:21,320 --> 01:10:25,200
Speaker 1: We're making away every goddamn they despite all this bullshit.

1221
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:27,519
Speaker 1: So the risk, like you said, the resiliency is there,

1222
01:10:27,600 --> 01:10:31,240
Speaker 1: but that I don't know. All you're saying is we

1223
01:10:31,320 --> 01:10:34,320
Speaker 1: won't play by the same man, and we want you

1224
01:10:34,400 --> 01:10:37,640
Speaker 1: to address the deficits. Come on, that's it. I'm not

1225
01:10:37,720 --> 01:10:41,719
Speaker 1: asking for anything exceptional. We recognize that there are policies

1226
01:10:41,800 --> 01:10:43,680
Speaker 1: that you have done that have been detrimental to us.

1227
01:10:44,040 --> 01:10:46,280
Speaker 1: If those policies that you have done have been detrimental

1228
01:10:46,360 --> 01:10:49,040
Speaker 1: to us, you owe us policies that work to make

1229
01:10:49,080 --> 01:10:51,719
Speaker 1: sure that you undo that wrong. That's all I'm saying.

1230
01:10:51,800 --> 01:10:55,680
Speaker 1: That it's not complicated. You know, we can we can

1231
01:10:55,880 --> 01:10:58,880
Speaker 1: put shiny bubbles on top of it, we can do

1232
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,320
Speaker 1: what we want, but at the end of the day,

1233
01:11:01,479 --> 01:11:04,200
Speaker 1: that's what we're saying. You know that that if you

1234
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:07,799
Speaker 1: had policies that said that black people couldn't get these loans,

1235
01:11:08,120 --> 01:11:10,519
Speaker 1: then there ought to be special loans created specifically for

1236
01:11:10,560 --> 01:11:14,400
Speaker 1: black If you do interest free, if you gave, if

1237
01:11:14,439 --> 01:11:17,200
Speaker 1: you money, as long as I'm gonna laughing, I owe you,

1238
01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put something on if you gave money. When

1239
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:24,400
Speaker 1: you gave money, what your tax dollars came out of

1240
01:11:24,439 --> 01:11:26,960
Speaker 1: my pocket to do this for g I beons and

1241
01:11:27,040 --> 01:11:29,720
Speaker 1: all of these things that allow people to go into

1242
01:11:29,800 --> 01:11:33,120
Speaker 1: these communities and purchase homes on the government, then you

1243
01:11:33,200 --> 01:11:35,920
Speaker 1: owe me the same the same way they built to

1244
01:11:35,960 --> 01:11:38,439
Speaker 1: get build us a little suburb like you were talking

1245
01:11:38,439 --> 01:11:41,760
Speaker 1: all together. They built the suburbs because they gave them

1246
01:11:41,800 --> 01:11:43,800
Speaker 1: the loans to get the property. And that's what I'm saying.

1247
01:11:43,920 --> 01:11:46,200
Speaker 1: We don't want we do all that, and we're moving

1248
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:48,680
Speaker 1: out there. Give us a chance. I feel like I

1249
01:11:48,760 --> 01:11:51,880
Speaker 1: could really excel without all this extra racism and ship

1250
01:11:52,040 --> 01:11:56,280
Speaker 1: like that might funk around and create you know, time traveler,

1251
01:11:56,439 --> 01:11:59,679
Speaker 1: some ship with the right resources. You never know, ship

1252
01:12:00,040 --> 01:12:02,840
Speaker 1: Nigga might come up with a with a liquid metal

1253
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,880
Speaker 1: like like they put in Wolverene body or something I

1254
01:12:06,280 --> 01:12:09,840
Speaker 1: could get on some next level type ship. What if

1255
01:12:09,920 --> 01:12:13,479
Speaker 1: I find out how to motherfucking transcend through dimensions and

1256
01:12:13,560 --> 01:12:19,320
Speaker 1: ship like that? Teleportation is real, funk around and end

1257
01:12:19,400 --> 01:12:22,080
Speaker 1: up in serious beat because all they wanted to see

1258

Speaker 1: me in is the Milky Way galaxy. But I know

1259
01:12:24,240 --> 01:12:27,760
Speaker 1: it's a billion galaxies and then it's a billion Yeah,

1260
01:12:29,240 --> 01:12:36,519
Speaker 1: like that, because I'll be wanting to know too. Yeah,

1261
01:12:36,600 --> 01:12:39,600
Speaker 1: ship ain'tything. Possibly if we can live and all the

1262
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:43,880
Speaker 1: biggas rock this floating through out of space, we could

1263
01:12:43,920 --> 01:12:46,080
Speaker 1: do all kinds of ship. Don't tell me that I'm

1330
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:10,559
Speaker 1: of people in Louisiona. I don't think that we should

1331
01:17:10,560 --> 01:17:14,080
Speaker 1: have recreations and hold that forming down. I mean when

1332
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:16,920
Speaker 1: we drive through the through the state going to different places,

1333

1338
01:17:36,439 --> 01:17:41,680
Speaker 1: feeding their family, right, that's important, right, and we know

1339
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:44,000
Speaker 1: that there's medicinal benefits. The other thing, I think that

1340
01:17:44,040 --> 01:17:46,599
Speaker 1: when we d schedule from the federal level, that opens

1341
01:17:46,680 --> 01:17:49,200
Speaker 1: up a lot of research to happen at the university

1342
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:52,120
Speaker 1: level that's not happening, and there's all kinds of things

1343
01:17:52,160 --> 01:17:53,519
Speaker 1: that I think we're gonna be able to unlock when

1344
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:58,440
Speaker 1: we get into that research. Don't they need to lationship

1345
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:01,479
Speaker 1: grow down there can manage some of that. Do themn

1364
01:19:09,160 --> 01:19:13,200
Speaker 1: their licenses over. We gotta do like we got to

1365
01:19:13,200 --> 01:19:15,519
Speaker 1: buy a bunch of acres and then just let them

1366
01:19:15,560 --> 01:19:18,840
Speaker 1: motherfucker he sit together and then you get a little

1367
01:19:18,880 --> 01:19:23,960
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell y'all he wanted to coldest to ever

1368
01:19:24,040 --> 01:19:27,920
Speaker 1: do it. On buying land in Louisiana, uh P bought

1369
01:19:28,400 --> 01:19:32,280
Speaker 1: Landing Bad so much Landing Bad Rouge that one of

1370
01:19:32,360 --> 01:19:37,160
Speaker 1: the pieces of property that h P bought that the

1371
01:19:37,360 --> 01:19:39,960
Speaker 1: state put money in his pocket off of that. Like,

1372
01:19:40,040 --> 01:19:43,280
Speaker 1: the man was a master at just putting himself in

1373
01:19:43,360 --> 01:19:46,120
Speaker 1: a position to say, I'm gonna own some stuff I'm

1374
01:19:46,360 --> 01:19:48,280
Speaker 1: holding and somebody gonna give me some money for it

1375
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:52,400
Speaker 1: at some point, and he Master Peak. He mastered that. Master.

1376
01:19:53,720 --> 01:19:57,639
Speaker 1: You better Master Peak, come onment no doubt, Master, no doubt.

1377
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,439
Speaker 1: That's one of my big influences to I got a

1378
01:20:01,560 --> 01:20:04,760
Speaker 1: list of down South ghetto legends that you know. That's

1379
01:20:04,800 --> 01:20:09,080
Speaker 1: why we named the two Ghetto Legends, Man, p P.

1380
01:20:09,600 --> 01:20:12,760
Speaker 1: The things, the things that Louisiana has done to influence

1381
01:20:13,360 --> 01:20:15,600
Speaker 1: the world of music. You know, when you think about it,

1382
01:20:15,960 --> 01:20:19,880
Speaker 1: you go back to Fats Domino, you know, uh, Louis

1383
01:20:20,040 --> 01:20:23,280
Speaker 1: Armstrong uh. And then you roll that up to people

1384
01:20:24,000 --> 01:20:29,760
Speaker 1: uh John Baptiste, uh, p J Morton, Uh. The you

1385
01:20:29,880 --> 01:20:33,160
Speaker 1: can't go nowhere in black a Maryland and you you

1386
01:20:33,640 --> 01:20:38,240
Speaker 1: you bust out that for the thousand and the whole

1387
01:20:38,479 --> 01:20:40,800
Speaker 1: energy in the mood change, no matter what part of

1388
01:20:40,840 --> 01:20:43,880
Speaker 1: the country you're in, you don't get that without Louisiana.

1389
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:47,200
Speaker 1: All I'm saying is that as good as the music

1390
01:20:47,439 --> 01:20:51,120
Speaker 1: is and the food is, that we can have communities

1391
01:20:51,200 --> 01:20:54,080
Speaker 1: that are as strong and as vibrant as that energy

1392
01:20:54,320 --> 01:20:56,800
Speaker 1: is if you put a different type of leader in place. Right,

1393
01:20:57,200 --> 01:21:01,080
Speaker 1: that's it. We got the sauce. You go right there,

1394
01:21:02,280 --> 01:21:09,000
Speaker 1: heard any questions in the room, black people, any questions

1395
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:33,880
Speaker 1: from the black community. I knew you had one. I

1396
01:21:33,960 --> 01:21:36,920
Speaker 1: think one. Elected officials have to do a better job

1397
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:40,320
Speaker 1: engage in the community directly. Um. I think once people

1398
01:21:40,360 --> 01:21:42,320
Speaker 1: get elected, a lot of times they get so busy

1399
01:21:42,400 --> 01:21:44,640
Speaker 1: doing the job that a lot of times they're not

1400
01:21:44,760 --> 01:21:48,479
Speaker 1: doing the intentional engagement. Uh. When you campaign and you

1401
01:21:48,560 --> 01:21:51,320
Speaker 1: come sit down and have these conversations, right, you should

1402
01:21:51,360 --> 01:21:53,320
Speaker 1: come back and have these conversations when you are in

1403
01:21:53,439 --> 01:21:55,680
Speaker 1: office so that people know what's going on. Because the

1404
01:21:55,760 --> 01:21:58,040
Speaker 1: same way you want to get them, to get them

1405
01:21:58,080 --> 01:22:00,320
Speaker 1: engaged to vote, you got to go into those same

1406
01:22:00,920 --> 01:22:03,000
Speaker 1: channels in order to keep them engage. You got to

1407
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:05,759
Speaker 1: meet people where they are. That's just That's just it. Brother.

1408
01:22:05,840 --> 01:22:08,559
Speaker 1: The motherfuck start off as a community activists. They come

1409
01:22:08,600 --> 01:22:10,280
Speaker 1: over here and they'd be like, that's right, we gotta

1410
01:22:10,320 --> 01:22:12,280
Speaker 1: get people out there. We gotta get them food and

1411
01:22:12,320 --> 01:22:13,960
Speaker 1: then they can win it and he come back and

1412
01:22:14,080 --> 01:22:15,680
Speaker 1: be rich as funny like we are. You're getting that

1413
01:22:15,800 --> 01:22:23,479
Speaker 1: money man, Well send child. We should want to see

1414
01:22:23,479 --> 01:22:27,519
Speaker 1: our people progress. We should want to see that the

1415
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:30,280
Speaker 1: people that go out there and make the sacrifice for

1416
01:22:30,400 --> 01:22:35,479
Speaker 1: us eventually see a reward from their sacrifice. They died

1417
01:22:35,600 --> 01:22:39,040
Speaker 1: without fruit, you know, Um, think of all that we

1418
01:22:39,160 --> 01:22:42,759
Speaker 1: have inherited from the sacrifice of Dr King and Malcolm

1419
01:22:43,040 --> 01:22:45,800
Speaker 1: X right, and both of them were robbing their lives

1420
01:22:45,840 --> 01:22:48,920
Speaker 1: and their children didn't have them to be their providers

1421
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:50,880
Speaker 1: all of their lives. Man. I just wish he would

1422
01:22:51,000 --> 01:22:55,200
Speaker 1: live long enough to pull up somewhere in the fantom. Indeed,

1423
01:22:56,360 --> 01:22:58,840
Speaker 1: the truth for us has to be that we don't

1424
01:22:58,880 --> 01:23:01,160
Speaker 1: want that to be the outcome for our leaders. Um.

1425
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:04,519
Speaker 1: The reason that so many of our people end up

1426
01:23:04,600 --> 01:23:08,920
Speaker 1: in a situation where they're doing something that is questionable

1427
01:23:09,280 --> 01:23:11,920
Speaker 1: is because we have not secured enough to make sure

1428
01:23:11,960 --> 01:23:13,960
Speaker 1: that people are stable while they go out there and

1429
01:23:14,040 --> 01:23:15,880
Speaker 1: do this work for us. On the other side, the

1430
01:23:16,040 --> 01:23:18,640
Speaker 1: folks they got their bread when they're in there, so

1431
01:23:19,120 --> 01:23:20,560
Speaker 1: now they're not taking the money out to cook the

1432
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:22,719
Speaker 1: job because they they are breaded up. They they're secured,

1433
01:23:22,800 --> 01:23:24,960
Speaker 1: so they can go down there and boil you on

1434
01:23:25,080 --> 01:23:28,920
Speaker 1: a conscious level because they're not started. Right. We seen

1435
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:33,240
Speaker 1: people in the battle started and someone always bring food

1436
01:23:33,320 --> 01:23:36,880
Speaker 1: to them and they eat and we're mad at But

1437
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:40,600
Speaker 1: when you feed them right, like, that's that's really what

1438
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:42,880
Speaker 1: this is. And that has to be a continual conversation

1439
01:23:42,960 --> 01:23:46,439
Speaker 1: for us that we recognize that it's our obligation to

1440
01:23:46,560 --> 01:23:51,000
Speaker 1: take care of our soldiers because it is and and

1441
01:23:51,439 --> 01:23:54,760
Speaker 1: the government has done a good job putting the strongest

1442
01:23:54,840 --> 01:23:58,439
Speaker 1: of our soldiers in jail. All right, it ain't it

1443
01:23:58,479 --> 01:24:02,360
Speaker 1: ain't mythical that they put so many black men in jail. Right,

1444
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:05,439
Speaker 1: these tools could be running corporations and businesses. If you

1445
01:24:05,439 --> 01:24:10,120
Speaker 1: could run a run illegal trap business under the nose

1446
01:24:10,200 --> 01:24:12,559
Speaker 1: of the federal government of the local police, you can

1447
01:24:12,720 --> 01:24:16,720
Speaker 1: certainly run a legitimate business, right. You just have to

1448
01:24:16,800 --> 01:24:21,200
Speaker 1: be resourced enough. I knew a guy all in bad rooms.

1449
01:24:21,240 --> 01:24:24,639
Speaker 1: White guy bought a company. But when he started the company,

1450
01:24:24,640 --> 01:24:27,160
Speaker 1: he called his grandmama. He said, I need a loan

1451
01:24:27,400 --> 01:24:30,320
Speaker 1: to go start the business. Grandmama gave him five hundred

1452
01:24:30,360 --> 01:24:34,160
Speaker 1: thous dollars. He went to the band Grandma, grandmama. Grandmama

1453
01:24:34,240 --> 01:24:37,320
Speaker 1: had five in all. She gave him five hundred thousand.

1454
01:24:37,320 --> 01:24:39,360
Speaker 1: He went to the bank, got a five million dollar long.

1455
01:24:39,920 --> 01:24:42,640
Speaker 1: All right, he needed a certain type of equipment for

1456
01:24:42,800 --> 01:24:44,600
Speaker 1: his business. He went out and bought that type of

1457
01:24:44,640 --> 01:24:47,760
Speaker 1: equipment for his business. Uh. Let's say this was eight

1458
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:52,439
Speaker 1: years ago, okay, and the beginning of this year. He

1459
01:24:52,640 --> 01:24:57,920
Speaker 1: sold that business for an unreported amount of money to

1460
01:24:58,120 --> 01:25:02,839
Speaker 1: the largest company of its kind in the world. Started

1461
01:25:02,840 --> 01:25:07,240
Speaker 1: with a five hundred thousand dollar long from grandma. Right,

1462
01:25:08,640 --> 01:25:10,839
Speaker 1: most of us can't go to grandmama get five thousand

1463
01:25:10,920 --> 01:25:19,799
Speaker 1: dollars business. You did grandma head, We got damn grandma

1464
01:25:19,880 --> 01:25:22,320
Speaker 1: president a little five in your poem. Man, don't don't

1465
01:25:22,360 --> 01:25:26,760
Speaker 1: do grandma like that process that we're not playing with

1466
01:25:26,840 --> 01:25:29,559
Speaker 1: the same deck of cards. Yeah, you know what I'm saying,

1467
01:25:29,960 --> 01:25:32,000
Speaker 1: Like when when when? When he said, Oh, I just

1468
01:25:32,080 --> 01:25:35,040
Speaker 1: got a little loan from my grandma. You know, my

1469
01:25:35,200 --> 01:25:37,080
Speaker 1: mama when I started the business, my mama bought me

1470
01:25:37,120 --> 01:25:40,400
Speaker 1: a computer. That's really talking. My mama got I started

1471
01:25:40,439 --> 01:25:43,280
Speaker 1: my first business. I was getting into my mom when

1472
01:25:43,400 --> 01:25:46,479
Speaker 1: brought me at a desktop computer so I could do

1473
01:25:46,600 --> 01:25:48,519
Speaker 1: my work on it, because that's what my mama could

1474
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:51,240
Speaker 1: afford to help me within my business and any little

1475
01:25:51,320 --> 01:25:53,960
Speaker 1: thing I've done, my mama made that little contribution to

1476
01:25:54,040 --> 01:25:56,240
Speaker 1: what I'm doing. You know, my dad the same thing,

1477
01:25:57,160 --> 01:25:59,519
Speaker 1: But the level of contribution and my phone can make

1478
01:26:00,040 --> 01:26:03,000
Speaker 1: ain't the same. My mom and daddy don't have ten

1479
01:26:03,200 --> 01:26:07,080
Speaker 1: friends who own multimillion dollar companies that could call the

1480
01:26:07,200 --> 01:26:10,240
Speaker 1: other ten friends from my first campaign fundraiser and raised

1481
01:26:10,240 --> 01:26:13,880
Speaker 1: five hundred thousand dollars for me. But I've seen that happen.

1482
01:26:14,800 --> 01:26:17,720
Speaker 1: I've seen people walking the door for their campaign fundraisers

1483
01:26:17,960 --> 01:26:20,720
Speaker 1: and raised three and four hundred thousand dollars in one fundraising.

1484
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:23,920
Speaker 1: We're not playing with the same deck of cards. I

1485
01:26:23,960 --> 01:26:27,680
Speaker 1: gotta get my twenty five dollars at a time, and

1486
01:26:27,720 --> 01:26:35,679
Speaker 1: I'm cool with it because I'm free. Well, folks, there
