WEBVTT - Cliff Notes: Is The American Political System Rooted In White Supremacy?

0:00:00.040 --> 0:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>And again we still have a foreign policy when we're

0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:07.400
<v Speaker 1>sending billions of dollars a year to Israel to support

0:00:07.400 --> 0:00:10.720
<v Speaker 1>a genocide, not just in my opinion but according to

0:00:10.720 --> 0:00:13.960
<v Speaker 1>an international courts. But we also have a foreign policy

0:00:13.960 --> 0:00:20.480
<v Speaker 1>that supports child migrants in uh the Congo mining cobalt

0:00:20.560 --> 0:00:24.480
<v Speaker 1>with their hands, that supports all of our technology and

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:27.680
<v Speaker 1>they're not getting the financial benefits of that. We also

0:00:27.680 --> 0:00:31.040
<v Speaker 1>have a feign policy support their mining coal.

0:00:31.160 --> 0:00:33.320
<v Speaker 2>T that must be what you're talking about.

0:00:34.600 --> 0:00:41.040
<v Speaker 1>Thank you very much. I appreciate that, thank you, even

0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:50.199
<v Speaker 1>though I still think it might be cobalt. But that's fine,

0:00:50.479 --> 0:00:55.840
<v Speaker 1>Black children using their hands in their African country mining

0:00:56.040 --> 0:01:01.080
<v Speaker 1>raw materials that the West, meaning white people, bull meaning

0:01:01.160 --> 0:01:05.200
<v Speaker 1>Trump's white supremacy is using to build wealth and African

0:01:05.280 --> 0:01:08.319
<v Speaker 1>nations are on benefit of that, benefiting from that. So

0:01:08.360 --> 0:01:11.919
<v Speaker 1>that's again connected to our foreign policies all funked up. Listen,

0:01:12.880 --> 0:01:18.440
<v Speaker 1>the American political system is rooted in white supremacy, and

0:01:18.800 --> 0:01:23.840
<v Speaker 1>we on the ground locally and nationally need to continue

0:01:24.040 --> 0:01:25.319
<v Speaker 1>organized to push against that.

0:01:25.920 --> 0:01:28.360
<v Speaker 2>So that's been a part of it. Are you a

0:01:28.400 --> 0:01:30.920
<v Speaker 2>part of white supremacy in black face? And your position

0:01:31.000 --> 0:01:34.600
<v Speaker 2>in Congress? Because of the matter is you and Kamala

0:01:34.640 --> 0:01:38.240
<v Speaker 2>Harris and Joe Biden and a lot of these politicians

0:01:38.400 --> 0:01:41.319
<v Speaker 2>who have been in office for decades. Kamala Harris has

0:01:41.319 --> 0:01:44.440
<v Speaker 2>been doing this for twenty one plus years, almost older

0:01:44.440 --> 0:01:44.800
<v Speaker 2>than me.

0:01:45.440 --> 0:01:46.320
<v Speaker 1>Not in Congress.

0:01:46.319 --> 0:01:51.720
<v Speaker 2>Hold up, Hold up, listen, listen. Joe Biden has definitely

0:01:51.760 --> 0:01:52.480
<v Speaker 2>been there longer.

0:01:52.800 --> 0:01:54.960
<v Speaker 1>Been talking about Biden, we're.

0:01:54.800 --> 0:01:57.040
<v Speaker 2>Talking about the system. I thought we were just talking

0:01:57.040 --> 0:02:00.960
<v Speaker 2>about the system we are. Second, let me finish black man,

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:06.520
<v Speaker 2>black man. You have voted to send that money over there.

0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:13.040
<v Speaker 2>You have hold on, you have voted let me finish that,

0:02:13.800 --> 0:02:18.800
<v Speaker 2>finish blaming my time. You have voted and been a

0:02:18.840 --> 0:02:23.480
<v Speaker 2>part of a party that upholds, built, cultivated, and created

0:02:23.520 --> 0:02:27.400
<v Speaker 2>these systems. Dare I even say perfected them? Dare I

0:02:27.480 --> 0:02:30.880
<v Speaker 2>even say perfected them? And so to sit here and

0:02:30.960 --> 0:02:33.880
<v Speaker 2>to say that our political system is all of these

0:02:33.919 --> 0:02:36.160
<v Speaker 2>things when you're in it right now, when a lot

0:02:36.200 --> 0:02:38.760
<v Speaker 2>of the people that we see coming across our screens

0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.880
<v Speaker 2>and creating the policy have been there for decades. At

0:02:41.919 --> 0:02:44.080
<v Speaker 2>the end of the day, whether or not Trump is

0:02:44.320 --> 0:02:46.480
<v Speaker 2>polished or not, because he's been doing this for four

0:02:46.560 --> 0:02:48.960
<v Speaker 2>years versus the person that's been doing it for twenty

0:02:48.960 --> 0:02:51.760
<v Speaker 2>one or before y'all. Oh, no, reverse biten up out

0:02:51.760 --> 0:02:55.240
<v Speaker 2>of there. Who has been doing it for multiple decades.

0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:59.360
<v Speaker 2>They uphold all of it. And your party in particular,

0:02:59.800 --> 0:03:03.799
<v Speaker 2>has been one who has created policies that have negatively

0:03:03.880 --> 0:03:06.840
<v Speaker 2>impacted people that look like me and you while sending

0:03:06.880 --> 0:03:10.720
<v Speaker 2>that money overseas. So I'm just trying to understand. If

0:03:10.720 --> 0:03:12.880
<v Speaker 2>it's rooted in white supremacy, then are you a white

0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:15.839
<v Speaker 2>supremacist in black face that's upholding these structures.

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:20.360
<v Speaker 1>So again, you obviously don't know me and don't know

0:03:20.440 --> 0:03:22.440
<v Speaker 1>my record to even be talking to people.

0:03:22.360 --> 0:03:24.600
<v Speaker 2>The firal alarm. You lost your election, and now you're

0:03:24.639 --> 0:03:27.440
<v Speaker 2>sitting outside in DC after having a couple of drinks

0:03:27.440 --> 0:03:30.280
<v Speaker 2>at an event we were just at, i know, spending

0:03:30.320 --> 0:03:32.920
<v Speaker 2>his time with our lovely audience. I'd say at that,

0:03:33.120 --> 0:03:34.480
<v Speaker 2>thank you absolutely.

0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.160
<v Speaker 1>And that's besides the point that last point you just said.

0:03:38.560 --> 0:03:43.480
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, the Republican and the Democratic Party have both

0:03:43.520 --> 0:03:49.480
<v Speaker 1>been complicit in supporting white supremacist ideology. So let's be

0:03:49.520 --> 0:03:54.240
<v Speaker 1>clear about that. In my opinion, the Democrats still have

0:03:54.440 --> 0:03:59.080
<v Speaker 1>done more to support working class people and marginalized people

0:03:59.440 --> 0:04:03.960
<v Speaker 1>in our cont For example, we continue to support social Security,

0:04:04.360 --> 0:04:07.760
<v Speaker 1>we continue to support Medicare, we continue to support the

0:04:07.800 --> 0:04:12.480
<v Speaker 1>Department of Education and other federal offices that serve the

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.400
<v Speaker 1>most marginalized people. I still want the party to go

0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:20.600
<v Speaker 1>further with issues like reparations, with issues like the George

0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:25.080
<v Speaker 1>Floyd Justice and Policing Act, and many other issues. So

0:04:25.640 --> 0:04:30.160
<v Speaker 1>I just want to be clear about that. Republicans, in

0:04:30.200 --> 0:04:33.240
<v Speaker 1>my opinion, this modern day Republican Party. And I'm talking

0:04:33.279 --> 0:04:36.000
<v Speaker 1>about one hundred years ago, twenty years ago, talking about

0:04:36.040 --> 0:04:40.320
<v Speaker 1>Monday Republican Party. When I pulled that fire alarm, to

0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:44.080
<v Speaker 1>use your example, they tried to paint me as one

0:04:44.160 --> 0:04:49.320
<v Speaker 1>of the insurrectionists from January sixth. That was crazy. They

0:04:49.480 --> 0:04:55.200
<v Speaker 1>have no policies or very little that support the upliftment

0:04:55.360 --> 0:04:59.320
<v Speaker 1>of our communities. Whether it's affordable housing, whether it's childcare,

0:04:59.520 --> 0:05:04.239
<v Speaker 1>whether it's paid lead, whether it's entrepreneurship, whether it's reparations.

0:05:04.760 --> 0:05:10.279
<v Speaker 1>None of that that's party support. And so the system

0:05:10.360 --> 0:05:11.040
<v Speaker 1>has to change.

0:05:11.040 --> 0:05:17.160
<v Speaker 2>Oh Gas, like us, right, I don't talk about don't

0:05:17.240 --> 0:05:19.680
<v Speaker 2>talk about the things that you guys support when you

0:05:19.720 --> 0:05:22.279
<v Speaker 2>know that your party wasn't the one that created them. Like,

0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.680
<v Speaker 2>how dare you say that Republicans don't support small or

0:05:25.720 --> 0:05:30.000
<v Speaker 2>minority businesses who cultivated wrote the bill for the Small

0:05:30.000 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 2>Business Administration to be an administration for the AA program,

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:39.240
<v Speaker 2>which provides those no bid contracts for businesses like mine

0:05:39.600 --> 0:05:42.159
<v Speaker 2>to be able to work with the federal government in

0:05:42.160 --> 0:05:44.159
<v Speaker 2>the way that we're able to work with them. That

0:05:44.279 --> 0:05:46.080
<v Speaker 2>was a Republican that wrote that bill. There was a

0:05:46.080 --> 0:05:49.480
<v Speaker 2>Republican that started the Small Business Administration, and the programs

0:05:49.480 --> 0:05:53.159
<v Speaker 2>that are predicated from the Small Business Administration once again

0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.599
<v Speaker 2>founded by Republicans. So you can't say that you're supporting

0:05:56.640 --> 0:06:00.320
<v Speaker 2>these things when the inception of those policies, the exception

0:06:00.600 --> 0:06:03.159
<v Speaker 2>of Social Security, and the inception of all of these

0:06:03.200 --> 0:06:06.599
<v Speaker 2>things were predicated by Republicans. But what I will say

0:06:06.880 --> 0:06:09.040
<v Speaker 2>is that both parties do need to do a better

0:06:09.080 --> 0:06:10.960
<v Speaker 2>job when it comes to tending to the issues of

0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.520
<v Speaker 2>black people and speaking to issues of black people. Absolutely.

0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.000
<v Speaker 2>The problem that we have here is only one of

0:06:17.040 --> 0:06:19.520
<v Speaker 2>those parties relies on the black community to stay in

0:06:19.560 --> 0:06:22.840
<v Speaker 2>positions of power for decades, only one of them. Only

0:06:22.880 --> 0:06:26.680
<v Speaker 2>one of those parties promises things every election year, year

0:06:26.720 --> 0:06:30.279
<v Speaker 2>after year, the exact same things, and produces absolutely no

0:06:30.360 --> 0:06:33.000
<v Speaker 2>policies for their communities and I live in a very

0:06:33.040 --> 0:06:35.320
<v Speaker 2>blue city that was in a red state. I may

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.560
<v Speaker 2>be in DC right now, but I understand how this works.

0:06:38.640 --> 0:06:41.360
<v Speaker 2>I used to also live in California when Kamala Harris

0:06:41.440 --> 0:06:44.479
<v Speaker 2>was my senator, and she was also my Attorney general.

0:06:44.720 --> 0:06:48.640
<v Speaker 2>So I've lived under the rule of both Democrats and Republicans.

0:06:48.640 --> 0:06:50.960
<v Speaker 2>And what I will say and what I can say is,

0:06:51.000 --> 0:06:53.520
<v Speaker 2>in some of the largest cities that are ran by

0:06:53.640 --> 0:06:57.719
<v Speaker 2>blue and I'm talking super majority, the entire council is blue.

0:06:57.800 --> 0:07:01.400
<v Speaker 2>The mayor is a Democrat. The areas that we live

0:07:01.440 --> 0:07:05.120
<v Speaker 2>in look the worst, and they rely on us year

0:07:05.240 --> 0:07:09.280
<v Speaker 2>after year to give them our vote in exchange for

0:07:09.400 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 2>absolutely nothing. So at the end of the day, if

0:07:11.720 --> 0:07:15.120
<v Speaker 2>anybody owes the black community anything, whether that be policy,

0:07:15.320 --> 0:07:18.200
<v Speaker 2>whether that be reparations, it is definitely the party that

0:07:18.360 --> 0:07:20.120
<v Speaker 2>excuse our backs to get ahead.

0:07:20.760 --> 0:07:24.440
<v Speaker 3>An illegal alien from Guatemala charged with raping a child

0:07:24.480 --> 0:07:28.280
<v Speaker 3>in Massachusetts. An MS thirteen gang member from Al Salvador

0:07:28.520 --> 0:07:32.640
<v Speaker 3>accused of murdering a Texas man of Venezuelan charged with

0:07:32.720 --> 0:07:36.600
<v Speaker 3>filming and selling child pornography in Michigan. These are just

0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:40.480
<v Speaker 3>some of the heinous migrant criminals caught because of President

0:07:40.520 --> 0:07:44.040
<v Speaker 3>Donald J. Trump's leadership. I'm Christin Noman, the United States

0:07:44.120 --> 0:07:48.920
<v Speaker 3>Secretary of Homeland Security. Under President Trump, attempted illegal border

0:07:48.920 --> 0:07:52.480
<v Speaker 3>crossings are at the lowest levels ever recorded, and over

0:07:52.560 --> 0:07:55.760
<v Speaker 3>one hundred thousand illegal aliens have been arrested. If you

0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:59.680
<v Speaker 3>are here illegally, your next you will be fine nearly

0:07:59.720 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 3>one one thousand dollars a day, imprisoned and deported, you

0:08:03.560 --> 0:08:07.080
<v Speaker 3>will never return. But if you register using our CBP

0:08:07.280 --> 0:08:10.000
<v Speaker 3>home app and leave now, you could be allowed to

0:08:10.040 --> 0:08:14.880
<v Speaker 3>return legally. Do what's right. Leave now. Under President Trump,

0:08:15.040 --> 0:08:18.600
<v Speaker 3>America's laws, border and families will be protected.
