Speaker 1: Honestly, I can't imagine anybody not being able to relate
Speaker 1: to this. But in a hood scenario, you know, an
Speaker 1: inner city life, like, the consequences of this are probably
Speaker 1: considerably different than the consequences of everybody else. But whether
Speaker 1: we talk about somebody that works in your office or
Speaker 1: you went to school with or in this scenario ain't
Speaker 1: necessarily the opt but could possibly become it at any moment.
Speaker 1: Y'all just move different, Like, no matter how hard you try,
Speaker 1: it's always some. It's just like some just don't sit
Speaker 1: right where you just like, I feel like I should
Speaker 1: like I should like you. I just I just don't
Speaker 1: like that. I'm saying, like, it's just a no. You
Speaker 1: pick a scenario, any scenario, any situation, hypothetical or not,
Speaker 1: without YouTube talking or consulting each other. You're just giving
Speaker 1: someone explains to you the exact same scenario, and then
Speaker 1: that person you to just you know, pick a side
Speaker 1: without even talking, without even trying. You just fall on
Speaker 1: opposite sides every time. You just fundamentally see the world
Speaker 1: differently for whatever reason. But then you take a third
Speaker 1: party who's watching all this and kind of being like, well,
Speaker 1: y'all kind of ratchet in the same way. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying, Like you actually want the same things.
Speaker 1: You just you just fundamentally move different. Some people are
Speaker 1: just super aggressive and loud. Some people are quiet and finessy.
Speaker 1: But either way, you getting the job done. It's almost like,
Speaker 1: you know, respect on their name. I respect it. I
Speaker 1: see what you're doing. I understand what you're doing. I
Speaker 1: get it. I don't like it. I think you're weirdo,
Speaker 1: I think you a problem. I think it in any moment,
Speaker 1: I remember I got it on me, you know, And
Speaker 1: if you feel froggy, like if we want to get down,
Speaker 1: we could get down, or we could like get together
Speaker 1: make this money. I don't like it. You don't like
Speaker 1: it either. I don't like you. You don't like me,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. But respect dude. It's like,
Speaker 1: but I feel like I should like you. You ever
Speaker 1: had a friend like that where it's like doc, I
Speaker 1: feel like we should kick it. And every time y'all
Speaker 1: try to hang out or try to do it, just
Speaker 1: something go wrong. Every time. There's a lot of stuff
Speaker 1: like that from where I'm from, where it's like really
Speaker 1: like each other. But I mean, I respect your section
Speaker 1: and respect mine. As long as you keep it chill,
Speaker 1: I'll keep it chill. But since there's so much tension,
Speaker 1: any given misstep, any given side look, any given sigh
Speaker 1: at the wrong time could set it off. Oh man,
Speaker 1: I was like, even if you come in dripping, I'm like,
Speaker 1: I don't like your shoes though, Like why would you
Speaker 1: put them shoes? Like just something not right. It's just
Speaker 1: the way you talk to people. I'd be like, hey,
Speaker 1: why you act like that? And what's crazy? Is they
Speaker 1: thinking the same thing? They're thinking the exact same thing
Speaker 1: about you. It's like, I mean, I get it, man.
Speaker 1: You know you do what you gotta do. You make
Speaker 1: it moves and like, I mean them the kind of
Speaker 1: moves we trying to make too. But you always in
Speaker 1: Why you always in my space? Like why you so loud?
Speaker 1: Why like don't worry what you worried about me? For?
Speaker 1: Like while you always talking about Like why you always
Speaker 1: over here? I don't understand why you would choose that
Speaker 1: in the exact same scenario. That don't even make sense
Speaker 1: to me. Like y'all different, man, Like ah, just you messy,
Speaker 1: you saying the same thing about each other. You just
Speaker 1: move different. But both of y'all know that both of
Speaker 1: y'all gotta watch your steps and mind your lips because
Speaker 1: if anybody get out of pocket, they're getting packed out.
Speaker 1: It's up. We're gonna slide like these smokes say, the
Speaker 1: homies gonna hydro plane. You know what I'm saying. This
Speaker 1: is China and the US hood politics, y'all. Hey, yo,
Speaker 1: welcome to hood politics this week, and special thanks to
Speaker 1: y'all who are in the cooler zone that you're helping
Speaker 1: us get groceries. Now, as someone who said that, not
Speaker 1: someone being me, and I believe I said it last
Speaker 1: week that I just don't I don't really like gossip
Speaker 1: like that. You know, I don't follow Shade Room and
Speaker 1: TMZ and just like it's just that stuff makes me itchy,
Speaker 1: like it's too hard to keep up. Like own drama
Speaker 1: isn't entertaining to me as far as that type of drama. Now,
Speaker 1: obviously I watch dramas on television like Succession and such,
Speaker 1: which was a phenomenal show. Anyway, for somebody who don't
Speaker 1: really enjoy spilled tea and gossip, I show do be
Speaker 1: in it. When it comes to countries and foreign relations,
Speaker 1: you know, we had secretary blinking. He he went out
Speaker 1: there right before juneteenth, because that's how I mark my calendars.
Speaker 1: So right before June teenth, he went out to China
Speaker 1: see if he could try to, like, you know, function
Speaker 1: with the homies over there. Now, have you ever seen
Speaker 1: a couple argue? You're witnessed it and was tempted to
Speaker 1: choose a side. Sometimes some people be super out of pocket,
Speaker 1: like let's not let's not get it twisted, or are
Speaker 1: being emotionally manipulative or just not playing fair. After you
Speaker 1: go to enough therapy, especially couples therapy, you could spot
Speaker 1: the stuff so much easier because it's like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll be doing that. Hey, you can't do that, home
Speaker 1: boy or girl. Listen you baiting that man? You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. The more you see that stuff and
Speaker 1: to go through your own sort of therapy, the more
Speaker 1: that you know that, like people come with baggage, you
Speaker 1: feel me that there is a backstory. I remember watching
Speaker 1: my parents once. My dad is the more animated, kind
Speaker 1: of like base heavy demand, constrative, over talker, over explainer
Speaker 1: type person in a discussion, and my mom is the fallback, passive, aggressive,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna let you do your thing, but I'm just
Speaker 1: gonna go ahead and make my points. And here you
Speaker 1: can hold that l type person, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: So I was watching him go at it once when
Speaker 1: I was, you know, much younger. It was right before
Speaker 1: they was Finnah split, and in the scenario, I felt
Speaker 1: like my dad was trying to apologize. You know, you're
Speaker 1: trying to make something right in the way he apologizes
Speaker 1: by not apologizing but just buying stuff. Anyway, I'm an
Speaker 1: adult now now I know that I would have warned
Speaker 1: him like future me would have went back to past
Speaker 1: past dad as an adult and been like, Dad, this
Speaker 1: is your son from the future and after being married
Speaker 1: as long as I'm married now, I don't think this
Speaker 1: is a good idea. But anyway, he did it, and
Speaker 1: I remember my mom clapping back in a way that
Speaker 1: was as teenage me, you know, preteen mesaw put myself
Speaker 1: in my dad shoes and it would have crushed me.
Speaker 1: It would have really hurt my feelings. Now, remember I'm
Speaker 1: looking at this scenario from my own lens. I'm thinking about,
Speaker 1: you know, eighth grade dances. When it took me everything
Speaker 1: in my power to walk over to Candice to ask
Speaker 1: her to dance with me, and she said no and giggled.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. So that rejection is still
Speaker 1: sitting in my bones, you feel me. So I'm watching
Speaker 1: my daddy get rejected at that moment, I'm like, damn man, mom,
Speaker 1: cold like he trying. Once he left, you know, he
Speaker 1: stormed out the house in his way, you know, And
Speaker 1: that was probably one of their last arguments before they split. Anyway,
Speaker 1: he stormed out the house, and I looked at my
Speaker 1: mom and I was just like, dang, man, that was man, Mom,
Speaker 1: that was kind of mean. And she just says, Son,
Speaker 1: it's a lot you don't know now. Of course I didn't,
Speaker 1: you know. And my mama, the saint that she is,
Speaker 1: didn't want me think any different about my father, you know,
Speaker 1: so she would never tell me. I would come to
Speaker 1: find out later, you know. There was backstory and stuff
Speaker 1: like that that like, is none of y'all's business right now.
Speaker 1: But the point is it wasn't that moment. It was
Speaker 1: that moment plus twenty years. But even before those twenty years,
Speaker 1: both of them have families of origin who watched they
Speaker 1: parents handle situations and brought their baggage to that and
Speaker 1: before them, they parents had parents and they coming from
Speaker 1: this and couple couple that. This is a black couple.
Speaker 1: My daddy from the Jim Crow South, my mom from
Speaker 1: old school Chocolate City, DC. You know, they both from
Speaker 1: the projects. They both from the struggle. They both got
Speaker 1: all that institutional trauma, you know what I'm saying, sitting
Speaker 1: inside they bones, but also black excellence and trying to
Speaker 1: keep up a black family and also be in the
Speaker 1: swing generation. My parents were the generation that got their
Speaker 1: kids out the projects. Like that was the generation for me.
Speaker 1: You don't see what I'm saying. And I saw it
Speaker 1: happen like we started off on the block and did
Speaker 1: somewhere else. You understand I'm saying. So that happened in
Speaker 1: my generation. So they're carrying all this stuff in there
Speaker 1: and then trying to hold down a marriage. You know.
Speaker 1: And my father Black Panther, Vietnam War VET. It's so
Speaker 1: much going into you know, he from a broken home.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. My granddaddy, I don't know
Speaker 1: my granddaddy. I don't know none of them. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. I don't know nobody from his side
Speaker 1: of the family because my granddaddy was wild. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. The point I'm trying to say is
Speaker 1: it's so much in that moment that if you don't
Speaker 1: understand how much it went into that moment, ain't no
Speaker 1: way in the world you could actually speak with any
Speaker 1: sort of authority about what happened right there. It's too much.
Speaker 1: So if you think of foreign relations and the way
Speaker 1: for which we talk to other countries and deal with
Speaker 1: other countries, whether it's the UN, whether it's Russia, Ukraine,
Speaker 1: who taking sides with who? My homeboy, Steve Fie, he's
Speaker 1: a country songwriter. Believe it or not, I got friends
Speaker 1: that write country songs. Matter of fact, I shot out
Speaker 1: the o't me Chase Rice. Any of y'all listened to
Speaker 1: the country. We just became friends. Apparently he's a star.
Speaker 1: No idea either way. I taught him how to play dominoes.
Speaker 1: That's quite a flex. Now he got this song. Steve
Speaker 1: Fie got this song that he wrote that was like
Speaker 1: in the divorce, who gets the church? And why this
Speaker 1: is so clever is because that was our story. To me,
Speaker 1: it was like once my parents split, I mean, we
Speaker 1: all like black folks, have church family, Like we grow
Speaker 1: up with the church folk. Those are our friends, those
Speaker 1: are our extended family. When he leaves, I mean, who
Speaker 1: gets to come back like you do? He got to
Speaker 1: go find another church, you know what I'm saying, Like
Speaker 1: all of his own boys that they used to go
Speaker 1: fishing with and you know, and to hang out. And
Speaker 1: when he needed to motor lawn, you know, and borrow things,
Speaker 1: he borrowed it from the brothers at the church. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like that that's gone now. So
Speaker 1: when couples split people or when couples is going through something,
Speaker 1: you know, your friends take sides. But when you've been
Speaker 1: together for so long, you got the same friends, and
Speaker 1: then it get weird like who gets to hang out
Speaker 1: with who? And then once you choose sides, then the
Speaker 1: repercussions of that is now those other friends that was
Speaker 1: just friends. Would y'all stopped being friends because you chose
Speaker 1: his side or her side? Now y'all don't kick it,
Speaker 1: And it's like it's gonna always be a probably get
Speaker 1: weird right this, Like I know, I say I don't
Speaker 1: like drama, but foreign relations be like that because remember
Speaker 1: nations have families of origin where they came out of,
Speaker 1: how they came to be, the types of wars, the
Speaker 1: types of institutional trauma and PTSD they have as an institution,
Speaker 1: what makes them nervous? I mean, my god, like, does
Speaker 1: that not explain the nation of Israel, like Israel was
Speaker 1: birthed out of trauma like Israel as we know it.
Speaker 1: I mean, would you not leave Europe if you if
Speaker 1: you was to choose, you feel me? Like in any
Speaker 1: hint of someone saying you don't belong here, that's gonna
Speaker 1: be triggering. And anybody who has gone to therapy over
Speaker 1: complex trauma who are survivors, y'all understand that very often
Speaker 1: abusers were victim of abuse, right, So I mean, are
Speaker 1: you following me here?
Speaker 2: Guys?
Speaker 1: I don't know what. I don't know how you make
Speaker 1: a nation go to therapy? You feel me? But I'll
Speaker 1: be that's what be happening. And if you Palestine or
Speaker 1: the region, you got your same triggers. This is the
Speaker 1: same triggers, like that region been conquered, but seventeen different.
Speaker 1: We've talked about that so many times. So when somebody
Speaker 1: knew coming in here talking about you belong here, it's like,
Speaker 1: fam fuck you and the boat you came on. You
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, Like, there's no I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear that. And not you, I know you, not
Speaker 1: the one talking about you know what I'm saying. You
Speaker 1: belong here, y'all left here, Brown came back Russian. I
Speaker 1: don't want to hear nothing you got to say, you
Speaker 1: feel me?
Speaker 2: So just backash.
Speaker 1: So now all these uh you know, spy balloons and
Speaker 1: Anthony blinking going over there, and Russia talking to Putin
Speaker 1: and and uh playing a role in Iran and uh
Speaker 1: not necessarily supporting Ukraine, like just all these things all
Speaker 1: kind of wrapped together. Plus the fact that Nancy Pelosi
Speaker 1: was just like, let me slide by their player and
Speaker 1: just pulled up the Taiwan like, and how they got
Speaker 1: so salty about that shooting shooting test missiles all to
Speaker 1: the sky. This is it's some history here, y'all. And
Speaker 1: then it makes it even more funny because it's like,
Speaker 1: I mean, I know, all of my life, every time
Speaker 1: I open up the back of something, it's say, made
Speaker 1: in China. Get you know what I'm saying, it's baggage
Speaker 1: now blinking done, pulled up. But before I talk about
Speaker 1: the pull up. Let's take the clock back in time.
Speaker 1: I'm about to give y'all some history. Cue the history music. Now.
Speaker 1: The Council on Foreign Relations has an incredible website with
Speaker 1: this really user friendly graphic that gives a pretty decent
Speaker 1: overview of all these touch points to where we just officially,
Speaker 1: like I said in the beginning, we just move different.
Speaker 1: And it's just every situation just don't sit right with
Speaker 1: each other even when we try to sit right. So
Speaker 1: obviously there's way more depth than what they gonna give
Speaker 1: you and what I'm i will give you. You know, I'm
Speaker 1: thinking about building a bonus episode with the homie Mia
Speaker 1: who Mia over there at the It could happen here, pod.
Speaker 1: I don't know nobody that don't know A's and history
Speaker 1: better than better than her. So I'm like, let's I'm
Speaker 1: gonna try to have mea up on your and give
Speaker 1: y'all some more game. But let me walk you through
Speaker 1: it nice and dirty. You know what I'm saying. All Right,
Speaker 1: So you got to start a start off. When China
Speaker 1: became the People's Republic of China, when it was established
Speaker 1: as like a like a like a nation, obviously China
Speaker 1: wanted the otherest civilizations on the planet, continuous civilizations on
Speaker 1: the planet, you know what I'm saying. But China as
Speaker 1: a modern nation state as we know it. October nine, right,
Speaker 1: the Chinese Communist Party, the leader Mao ze Dung like
Speaker 1: he established the People's Republic of China in Beijing. Now
Speaker 1: this was after a peasant backed communists, like the peasants
Speaker 1: like you I remember, like you know, the Communists was
Speaker 1: for the people. You have said so at least at
Speaker 1: the time, that's the way it felt. Right now, this
Speaker 1: also started what we understand to be Taiwan. Okay, because
Speaker 1: I don't know if you notice, but Taiwan also say
Speaker 1: it's the true China. Because once Mao Zeidung establishes the
Speaker 1: people of Republic of China in Beijing in October first,
Speaker 1: the Nationalist government of chang Kaishek and thousands of troops
Speaker 1: fled to Taiwan. Right now, they believe they are true China.
Speaker 1: Now this is the basis as to why China itself
Speaker 1: swear that Taiwan's not a thing. That's why China's position
Speaker 1: is that is that Taiwan's not a thing. You lost
Speaker 1: like y'all just we had a civil war and you lost.
Speaker 1: You just took your ball and went home. You know
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. It would be like, you know, we
Speaker 1: had a civil war, which we did, and the Confederates lost,
Speaker 1: and then the Confederates still just go somewhere and say
Speaker 1: we also to the United States. And it's like, obviously
Speaker 1: that analogy is fraught with emotional positions, because you don't
Speaker 1: there's clearly a right side of history in the American
Speaker 1: Civil War. In this one. This is different. It's a
Speaker 1: little more complicated. Right. So anyway, and now watch this.
Speaker 1: From day one, things get weird. Okay, Now I'm gonna
Speaker 1: read this sentence directly from them, right from the Council
Speaker 1: Foreign Relations, Shanging thousands of his troops flee to Taiwan,
Speaker 1: the United States, which backed the Nationalists against invading Japanese
Speaker 1: forces during World War Two. Right, so we we backed
Speaker 1: the nationalists because you know what I'm saying, we was
Speaker 1: beefing with Japan. Right, supports Shang's exiled Republic of China
Speaker 1: government in Taipei. Right, setting the stage for several decades
Speaker 1: of limited US relationships relationships with maineland China. So basically,
Speaker 1: they had this civil war and we chose the side.
Speaker 1: You following me, we chose the side of the exile.
Speaker 1: So off the jump from jump China, like, uh right,
Speaker 1: it was already, it was already. It's all the way
Speaker 1: back in nineteen forty eight, so from day one, it
Speaker 1: was already weird right now. Granted again, we was over
Speaker 1: there because we had benness we was taking care of.
Speaker 1: It was like, you're gonna help us, You gonna help
Speaker 1: us with Japan because you gotta remember, at the time,
Speaker 1: Japan was trying to be Japan was trying to be
Speaker 1: the Britain was trying to be the UK of Asia.
Speaker 1: They used to even say Asia four Asians, right, So
Speaker 1: Japan was trying to occupy the rest of Asia and
Speaker 1: basically beat the Britain up there. Right, So we found
Speaker 1: ourselves a nice little bedfellow in the Nationalists group of exiles. Right.
Speaker 1: We supported them because we was like, well they had
Speaker 1: our back, We had Joe. You know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: like it's all there say you know, it's all love.
Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying, Love is love, But like
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, no, our feelings like this ain't
Speaker 1: a diss on y'all. We just think you know they
Speaker 1: had our back. China was like, hey, every since that day,
Speaker 1: trying to quote a good kid mathter City, it's saying
Speaker 1: the tape recorder saying that he did it, but ever
Speaker 1: since that day, I was looking at him different. So
Speaker 1: he was just it's like, look y'all already, y'all, don't
Speaker 1: sit right already that's day one, right, Fast forward one year,
Speaker 1: forward to nineteen fifty. Now, remember so the Communist party
Speaker 1: chairman Mao and them, the Mau Mau squad, you feel me?
Speaker 1: They the communists. So who's the big dog of all
Speaker 1: the communists? You already know it? Soviets. Now the Korean
Speaker 1: warbags breaks out and the country, the island is split
Speaker 1: into two, North Korea and South Korea, and you know
Speaker 1: America and the Soviets decide to go fifty to fifty
Speaker 1: on Korea, right, and the Soviets obviously back to North Korea,
Speaker 1: which meant that are you following me? You're picking up
Speaker 1: what I'm throwing down. Guess who China backed? Look, it's
Speaker 1: always look, I'm telling you, they go break on opposite sides.
Speaker 1: So they they backed the I mean it's North right,
Speaker 1: And the US is like wait, wait, wait, wait wait, wait,
Speaker 1: hold up, y'all can't just like y'all ganging up on
Speaker 1: the little homies. So if you go nah, wait no, no,
Speaker 1: no, no no. The US and the UN in South Korean
Speaker 1: troops approached the Chinese border and as many as four
Speaker 1: million people die in this three year conflict until the
Speaker 1: United Nations, China, and North Korea sign an armatist which
Speaker 1: is in nineteen fifty three, which is essentially a ceasefire.
Speaker 1: You may remember one hundred episodes back when I told
Speaker 1: y'all the Korean War never really ended. This is what
Speaker 1: I'm talking about. Armatists isn't isn't a p street. It's
Speaker 1: not over. It's that is. It could go down at
Speaker 1: any moment. But the Korean War, the niggas was shooting there.
Speaker 1: We came to back the homies. You follow a beat
Speaker 1: that's already there. Now. Nineteen fifty four, Now you got
Speaker 1: the first Taiwan Strait crisis, right, President Dwight Eisenhower, so
Speaker 1: he lifts the navy blockade of Taiwan in nineteen fifty three,
Speaker 1: which meant that Shanghai check could deploy thousands of troops
Speaker 1: to the islands to one of their islands in the
Speaker 1: Taiwan straight right. So so since remember again, since we
Speaker 1: the big dogs, nobody got bigger guns than us, we
Speaker 1: kind of had a way of being able to be like, listen,
Speaker 1: since we provide au the heat and we the big dogs,
Speaker 1: we get to decide, like, yo, y'all can't just y'all,
Speaker 1: y'all listen, man, y'all can't just be beefing like this. Man,
Speaker 1: you can't just be putting putting military folk wherever you
Speaker 1: want to. So basically, Eisenhower says, okay, listen, we're gonna move.
Speaker 1: We're gonna move our blockade out the way, or whatever
Speaker 1: happens happens. I can't be controlling y'all. What's happening right now? Right,
Speaker 1: So they move some soldiers over there into the Taiwan
Speaker 1: straight right in August eight, nineteen fifty four mainland China's
Speaker 1: People's Liberation Army, so that China's Army responds by shelling
Speaker 1: the shit out of them lands. They just start shooting.
Speaker 1: They're like, the hell you doing over here, cuz they
Speaker 1: start lighting fools up. Finally, Washington size is mutual defense
Speaker 1: treaty with Taiwan's nationalists and in the spring of nineteen
Speaker 1: fifty five. Then the United States threatened follow me, the
Speaker 1: United States say this doc, We'll drop a nuke if
Speaker 1: y'all don't chill at that point, you know, when you
Speaker 1: start talking about nukes, you know, China wouldn't. China ain't
Speaker 1: want to smoke. But think about if this was a
Speaker 1: personal relationship. If you China, you like, why are you
Speaker 1: always in our business? Now you're talking about nukes and shit,
Speaker 1: it's not even your You don't even go here. Ugh,
Speaker 1: you don't even go here. Right I'm talking to I'm
Speaker 1: talking to Taiwan. You gotta remember remember again, China don't
Speaker 1: see Taiwan as its own people. They're like, nigga, you're
Speaker 1: just you just lost. I don't even know how do
Speaker 1: you even have an army? That's China's position. Taiwan is like, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not living like this. We got our land. Just
Speaker 1: let me do what I want to do. Then if
Speaker 1: I lost, Okay, I lost, you have lost your way.
Speaker 1: Y'all have mission drift. We the true story and like,
Speaker 1: you know, man whatever, DoD like, just let me live?
Speaker 1: Can I live? Damn? So again we threaten the nukes, right,
Speaker 1: and then China is like, all right, well, I guess
Speaker 1: we better negotiate, right, but they still claim in a
Speaker 1: limited victory over the Nationalist because they withdrew from the island. Right.
Speaker 1: But this comes back up in nineteen fifty six and
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety six, right then the Tibetan uprising, right nine
Speaker 1: years after, the People's Republic of China asserts control over Tibet.
Speaker 1: Because remember China now is a is a world they
Speaker 1: you know, they creeping on a come up. They trying
Speaker 1: to be an imperialistic power too, so they claimed Tibet, right,
Speaker 1: And then there's a widespread uprising that occurs out there,
Speaker 1: and thousands die in the ensuing crackdown of the Chinese forces.
Speaker 1: The Dalai Lama flees to India, and then the United
Speaker 1: States watch this keeps happening, joins the United Nations and
Speaker 1: condemning Beijing about their human rights abuses against Tibet. Right,
Speaker 1: and then the CIA helps arm Tibetan resistance in the
Speaker 1: beginning of the nineteen fifties, y'all, following what's happening right now,
Speaker 1: we just keep falling. Listen, listen again, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: the story again. China doing what everybody doing you trying
Speaker 1: to spread your wings. You got a civil war, yo,
Speaker 1: side one. Now it was time to expand the empire.
Speaker 1: They like Tibet, right, America, What did we do? Philippines? Uh,
Speaker 1: Puerto Rico, Guam? What like, what are you doing? I'm
Speaker 1: just trying to function. So one would think we would
Speaker 1: understand each other. China did horrible, gross crimes against humanity, niggas,
Speaker 1: so did we horrible crimes against humanity. We just it's
Speaker 1: like to think that I should don't stink, right, because
Speaker 1: when it comes to somebody else shit, we able to
