I thought, we we we you know, 0:00:24.920 --> 0:00:27.040 we didn't let the people vote. We should do the 0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:28.640 people choice. 0:00:28.640 --> 0:00:32.479 On the names.

So I don't 0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:00.720 know if they were talking to me, but I know 0:02:00.800 --> 0:02:03.400 that the fact that it came up on my feed 0:02:03.480 --> 0:02:06.320 means it was in some of those comment sessions. And 0:02:06.400 --> 0:02:08.919 I was thinking, I don't think anybody is telling people 0:02:08.960 --> 0:02:10.840 to move on. I know I haven't said that. I 0:02:10.840 --> 0:02:15.200 think there's a whole lot of discovery and deep dives 0:02:15.600 --> 0:02:20.200 and discussion that needs to be had, So you know, 0:02:20.440 --> 0:02:25.440 I'm not I wouldn't say that. I definitely definitely don't 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:29.800 think that people should just move on. I think that 0:02:30.160 --> 0:02:33.760 people have the right to go through all different types 0:02:33.800 --> 0:02:37.360 of emotions. There's some grief, there's some anger, there's frustration, 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:38.560 there's disappointment. 0:02:39.080 --> 0:02:41.320 There's a lot. 0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:43.120 Of things that I think people have the right to feel, 0:02:43.160 --> 0:02:45.800 and I think people have the right to call for accountability. 0:02:46.080 --> 0:02:47.120 No, no, I agree. 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:49.480 You know what I'm saying, And my thing is this, 0:02:49.919 --> 0:02:52.079 I'm not mad at y'all being mad at the situation. 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.640 I'm not mad at you being mad because you know 0:02:55.760 --> 0:02:57.680 there's a possibility that the lady lie. 0:02:57.880 --> 0:02:59.720 I wouldn't. I'm not angry at that. 0:03:00.320 --> 0:03:06.320 I'm confused with why people are mad at other people 0:03:06.360 --> 0:03:09.320 who have good hearts and good natures for trying to 0:03:09.320 --> 0:03:12.360 save somebody's life that they thought was in trouble, Like 0:03:12.880 --> 0:03:18.040 because you, because you you're overly skeptical, and if you 0:03:18.040 --> 0:03:20.720 would because the thing is, if you if the people 0:03:20.720 --> 0:03:23.280 who were saying she was lying was wrong and she 0:03:23.320 --> 0:03:25.640 would have died, I could have been okay with that. 0:03:26.600 --> 0:03:28.919 You're to say what I'm saying, because what's the worst 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:31.560 of her, Well, the worst. When I looked at both 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:33.639 case scenarios, I said to myself, if this is not 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.760 the truth, the worst case scenario is we find out 0:03:36.760 --> 0:03:40.160 it's not the truth, nobody dies. If somebody is done 0:03:40.200 --> 0:03:41.520 something illegal, they go to jail. 0:03:41.720 --> 0:03:42.000 Cool. 0:03:42.640 --> 0:03:44.840 But the worst case scenario, if I'm wrong for not 0:03:44.960 --> 0:03:47.520 believing or trying to find out if something happened to 0:03:47.560 --> 0:03:50.760 this woman that she could lose her life, and that wasn't. 0:03:50.800 --> 0:03:52.480 I mean, the trade off for me was easy. 0:03:52.480 --> 0:03:56.800 It's like, okay, now, whatever colleagues issues is, whatever the 0:03:56.880 --> 0:04:00.440 problem is, whatever her the legal ramifications is for whatever, 0:04:00.520 --> 0:04:02.880 if they are. You know, those are things that she 0:04:03.040 --> 0:04:05.960 kind of deal with. But me, on my heart, I 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:08.160 did the right thing, and I would do it every 0:04:08.240 --> 0:04:11.840 time every time I see in the situation where women 0:04:12.480 --> 0:04:15.840 was you know, quote unquote supposedly abducted, nobody knew who 0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:18.200 she was, and people were trying to find it. I 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:20.800 would lend my voice in my platform every time to 0:04:20.839 --> 0:04:23.320 try to find out where she is without question. 0:04:23.640 --> 0:04:26.720 And I said, and I said every time that I can, right, 0:04:27.160 --> 0:04:29.839 because I want to be honest that none of us 0:04:29.920 --> 0:04:32.240 are going to show up the right way every time. 0:04:32.360 --> 0:04:36.440 And I saw Teslin figure out our girl from a 0:04:36.520 --> 0:04:43.479 straight shot, no chaser talking about how it's classism as well, right, 0:04:43.920 --> 0:04:46.600 because there are a lot of people who are missing 0:04:47.120 --> 0:04:50.120 that never get the type of attention that Carly Russell received. 0:04:50.400 --> 0:04:52.680 And a part of the reason why she got that 0:04:52.760 --> 0:04:58.160 attention was because her status, her parents' status, they were 0:04:58.240 --> 0:05:01.920 able to reach people who reached people who took it 0:05:01.960 --> 0:05:05.360 to a high level. So it wasn't really on the 0:05:05.400 --> 0:05:10.679 news at all until Star Jones contacted you know, different 0:05:10.680 --> 0:05:12.039 people in the media. And I know she did it 0:05:12.040 --> 0:05:14.320 because she was we was on textreads and she was like, Okay, 0:05:14.320 --> 0:05:16.280 they're gonna running on CNN at this time in that 0:05:16.320 --> 0:05:18.840 time and this and that, because she's got those relationships. 0:05:18.880 --> 0:05:21.080 I mean, we know who Star Jones is and so 0:05:22.320 --> 0:05:25.479 if you don't look her up and so that helped. 0:05:26.080 --> 0:05:27.480 But what I will say is. 0:05:27.400 --> 0:05:31.719 That from our perspective, Breonna Taylor didn't have that type 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:32.320 of profile. 0:05:32.839 --> 0:05:34.479 She didn't have that type of profile. 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:37.560 And there's other cases that we worked on where they 0:05:37.560 --> 0:05:40.800 did not have those types of profiles or they didn't 0:05:40.839 --> 0:05:46.240 she didn't come from a family that was you know, sorority. 0:05:45.920 --> 0:05:47.359 Members and whatever. 0:05:47.480 --> 0:05:49.800 I don't know anything about what this family has, but 0:05:49.920 --> 0:05:53.680 just based upon what I'm able to gather, the relationships 0:05:54.320 --> 0:05:58.239 that she had helped them to get this story going 0:05:58.320 --> 0:06:02.120 the way that it did. In a situation with Brianna, 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:05.320 it took two months. And so I do agree with 0:06:05.400 --> 0:06:09.400 Tesla's point that based upon where you sit in life 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:12.479 sometimes and circumstances because it's looking for a child on 0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.279 the side of the road and blah blah blah, and 0:06:14.320 --> 0:06:17.479 then you go missing. That would make people respond quicker. 0:06:17.720 --> 0:06:20.880 And Breonna Taylor's case, there was a drug dealer boyfriend 0:06:20.880 --> 0:06:23.000 and they were trying their best to make it the 0:06:23.040 --> 0:06:26.080 worst story ever, and as a result, people kind of 0:06:26.080 --> 0:06:28.599 turned a blind eye, really didn't know about it. The 0:06:28.680 --> 0:06:31.080 media didn't cover it, and it took people like Ben 0:06:31.120 --> 0:06:35.279 Crump and I'll needed Baker and Sam Agyar and the 0:06:35.360 --> 0:06:38.320 local community and all of us to get together and 0:06:38.400 --> 0:06:40.760 bring it to life. So I think to you know, 0:06:40.839 --> 0:06:43.800 those are conversations we have to have that we can't 0:06:43.839 --> 0:06:47.160 just we can't stop at Carly Russell. But we also 0:06:47.320 --> 0:06:50.159 have to think about what are the things that block 0:06:50.279 --> 0:06:53.479 us or stop us from engaging in these situations, and 0:06:53.480 --> 0:06:55.839 then how do we use the same power for the 0:06:56.080 --> 0:07:00.839 hundreds of thousands of people who are harmed, missing, whatever 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:04.880 in different ways, the kidnappings, the children that are missing 0:07:04.880 --> 0:07:10.280 in Ohio, the people being killed by police. And it 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.160 takes me to the topic of right now, what we 0:07:13.200 --> 0:07:16.800 should be talking about all this legislative shit that's happening. 0:07:17.040 --> 0:07:20.280 Because I understand that people are so worn out and 0:07:20.320 --> 0:07:22.040 we say it all the time because we want to 0:07:22.120 --> 0:07:27.160 acknowledge that folks feel tired. They feel tired, they feel like, 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:29.480 you know, it's just too much of the same thing. 0:07:29.560 --> 0:07:32.400 Keep on having a conversation about the legislators and this 0:07:32.520 --> 0:07:36.400 and that. But this stuff is really, really, really really serious. 0:07:36.720 --> 0:07:39.280 And the only point that I would make is that, 0:07:39.520 --> 0:07:41.720 you know, first of all, let me just read what 0:07:41.920 --> 0:07:45.679 happened in Florida last week. Very simple thing that happened 0:07:45.720 --> 0:07:47.680 in Florida last week, and it was going on at 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:54.080 the same time as the Carly Russell discovery or uncovering 0:07:54.440 --> 0:07:59.960 What's happening. So the Florida Board of Education approves several 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:05.960 new controversial laws passed by the legislature and signed by 0:08:06.120 --> 0:08:12.120 Governor Ron DeSantis. Several Democratic state lawmakers attended the board 0:08:12.160 --> 0:08:16.320 meetings on Wednesday, and each disagreed with the standards. 0:08:16.400 --> 0:08:18.320 So all of this shit that people. 0:08:18.200 --> 0:08:22.360 Arguing with us about political sides, and they all ain't nothing. 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.080 One group was pushing for these laws, the other group 0:08:26.200 --> 0:08:28.280 disagreed with it and tried to fight it. 0:08:28.640 --> 0:08:32.560 Okay, they took particular issue. 0:08:32.320 --> 0:08:41.319 With one instructional change that includes how slaves developed skills, 0:08:41.480 --> 0:08:46.880 skills which in some instances could be applied for their 0:08:46.960 --> 0:08:51.720 personal benefit. So basically, what they're doing is changing the 0:08:51.800 --> 0:08:53.840 way that history is told. 0:08:54.559 --> 0:08:54.800 Now. 0:08:54.840 --> 0:08:56.760 I know y'all say, well, people need to tell a 0:08:57.000 --> 0:09:00.480 history to their children, that's not the point. You need 0:09:00.520 --> 0:09:03.439 to do all that, but your kids should still not 0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:04.400 be going to a. 0:09:04.440 --> 0:09:07.560 School to the public get to the public to the public. 0:09:07.240 --> 0:09:11.720 School that is teaching them that being enslaved meant that 0:09:11.760 --> 0:09:15.400 you were able to develop skills for later on in life. 0:09:15.640 --> 0:09:17.040 And some people just don't know. 0:09:17.200 --> 0:09:19.720 To Mika, some of the parents don't Some of the 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:23.200 parents are the reality situations. What I realized was my 0:09:23.240 --> 0:09:25.079 I didn't mean to cut you off, no, please. What 0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:29.640 I realized with my parents, my grandparents, my grandparents, they 0:09:29.800 --> 0:09:33.320 sacrifice so that we can have a better education in them, right, 0:09:33.600 --> 0:09:36.880 they sacrificed. They weren't as aware of our history. They 0:09:36.880 --> 0:09:39.520 didn't know all those things. I remember coming home with 0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:42.520 lessons and teaching it to my grandmother and telling her. 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:44.240 She was like, I didn't know that, And I would 0:09:44.320 --> 0:09:46.800 teach her things and she wanted to learn, but her 0:09:46.920 --> 0:09:48.480 job was, you know, I'm gona make sure that your 0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:52.360 mother has a better education. And me and my mother 0:09:52.480 --> 0:09:54.520 told us to make sure I have education in her. 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.520 Sometimes we don't know the things. So while we while 0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:00.640 our parents were working hard and putting a a position 0:10:00.880 --> 0:10:02.600 to be able to go to school and not have 0:10:02.640 --> 0:10:04.760 to worry about if we starve or if we don't 0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:08.120 have clothes on our backs, you know, the schools that 0:10:08.200 --> 0:10:10.559 say that we go to should be teaching us the 0:10:10.600 --> 0:10:14.160 proper curriculum. And that's the bottom mind. It's not even 0:10:14.200 --> 0:10:17.400 though of course it would be ideal if every parent 0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.840 was able to teach you know, African history and African 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:24.079 American history to their children and be accurate upon it. 0:10:24.200 --> 0:10:27.440 But that's not the reality. And we shouldn't have to. 0:10:27.880 --> 0:10:29.840 You know, we should want to if we're able to, 0:10:29.880 --> 0:10:31.559 but we shouldn't have to. We shouldn't be able to 0:10:31.600 --> 0:10:34.600 go to schools and get the proper education. 0:10:34.520 --> 0:10:37.920 And gactually schools that are paid for by our tax. 0:10:37.920 --> 0:10:38.760 The public schools. 0:10:38.800 --> 0:10:42.720 Yes, But can I say one thing though, and this 0:10:43.040 --> 0:10:45.160 is my thought of the day today as we get 0:10:45.200 --> 0:10:47.640 ready to and you know, we were supposed to talk 0:10:47.640 --> 0:10:51.000 about Daniel Cameron, and I guess we need to probably 0:10:51.080 --> 0:10:53.920 do a live or something to really break that down. 0:10:54.360 --> 0:10:56.520 I just before I get to my thought of the day. 0:10:56.960 --> 0:10:59.800 I want to encourage everybody. You already said what you said, 0:10:59.840 --> 0:11:02.199 so let's just wrap that up and make the point 0:11:02.280 --> 0:11:05.480 that even though yes, we absolutely and I disagree with you, 0:11:05.800 --> 0:11:08.640 I don't think it's that we shouldn't have to. We 0:11:08.679 --> 0:11:11.280 should want to, We should have no, we should absolutely 0:11:11.679 --> 0:11:17.400 make it a one hundred percent demand that in our 0:11:17.440 --> 0:11:18.960 homes we teach our. 0:11:18.920 --> 0:11:21.280 Children history the right way. 0:11:21.480 --> 0:11:24.640 They're never gonna teach it exactly as it needs to 0:11:24.679 --> 0:11:27.240 be told for the benefit of our children and our 0:11:27.280 --> 0:11:31.920 communities and for our well being and our understanding and. 0:11:31.840 --> 0:11:33.920 For their well being. They're never gonna do that. 0:11:34.240 --> 0:11:38.120 But they should not be allowed legislatively to pass laws 0:11:38.160 --> 0:11:42.320 that erase our history and their history. They should be 0:11:42.440 --> 0:11:45.400 exposed to and it is not right, and we should 0:11:45.400 --> 0:11:47.880 not sit by and say, well, I don't care, and 0:11:47.960 --> 0:11:50.200 allow it to happen. Because no matter what you teach 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:53.840 your children at home, if they go somewhere else every 0:11:53.960 --> 0:11:56.800 single day and spend more time in that place than 0:11:56.840 --> 0:11:59.680 they do at home with their parents and they're being 0:11:59.760 --> 0:12:03.720 taught something different, it conflicts what you're telling them, and 0:12:03.760 --> 0:12:06.880 that is not okay. You pay taxes, The taxes should 0:12:06.880 --> 0:12:10.040 be spent to do the right job. So we need 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.400 to first of all put that to this side. On 0:12:12.520 --> 0:12:16.600 the other side, right, this is the Daniel Cameron story, 0:12:16.679 --> 0:12:18.440 y'all know, We talk about it all the time. 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:19.400 Y'all know the deal. 0:12:19.760 --> 0:12:23.160 This is the Attorney General of Kentucky and what he 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.680 did to Brianna Taylor's family where he refused to prosecute 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:31.240 those officers. The jurors came forward and said that they 0:12:31.320 --> 0:12:35.920 were never presented with charges for Brianna Taylor's killers, and 0:12:35.960 --> 0:12:39.240 that if they hadn't been presented with the charges, they 0:12:39.240 --> 0:12:42.400 would have indicted them because they believed that what those 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:46.920 officers did was wrong. He did nothing. He only got 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:50.160 an indictment for the wall and the potential for the 0:12:50.200 --> 0:12:52.600 bullets that went through a wall to harm other people, 0:12:52.920 --> 0:12:56.000 and nothing for a dead woman nor a young man 0:12:56.080 --> 0:12:59.880 whose life has been destroyed forever, which is Kenny Walker. 0:13:00.160 --> 0:13:01.880 So we know that we know that that's what the 0:13:01.920 --> 0:13:06.520 Attorney General's done. We know that his relationship with Mitch 0:13:06.600 --> 0:13:11.120 McConnell and his status as a very high ranking Republican. 0:13:11.200 --> 0:13:15.359 He is a well liked Republican in the state of Kentucky. 0:13:15.559 --> 0:13:18.360 He has a twelve point plan that includes. 0:13:18.240 --> 0:13:22.320 Drug offenders being getting the death penalty. This is what 0:13:22.480 --> 0:13:25.200 he's running on. This is his platform. He wants to 0:13:25.240 --> 0:13:27.960 get rid of the Civilian Complaint Review Board so that 0:13:28.040 --> 0:13:33.839 there is no recourse, no mechanism for being able to 0:13:33.960 --> 0:13:39.440 challenge police officers and hold them accountable when they when 0:13:39.480 --> 0:13:43.000 they when I want to say when they assault, but 0:13:43.040 --> 0:13:45.839 that's not the right word because it's not just assault. 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:49.080 It's also just illegal behavior. 0:13:48.640 --> 0:13:52.239 In general, the way that they treat people in communities. 0:13:52.480 --> 0:13:56.760 So when they are wrong, when they are God what 0:13:57.000 --> 0:13:59.679 I don't know. I want to because I keep going 0:13:59.720 --> 0:14:03.520 to violent part, but I have to always remind myself 0:14:03.640 --> 0:14:07.960 that it's not always just violence. Sometimes it's harassment in 0:14:08.040 --> 0:14:12.080 communities and people are able to report what police officers 0:14:12.080 --> 0:14:13.720 have done. And he wants to get rid of the 0:14:13.720 --> 0:14:17.400 Civilian Complaint Review Board, which people fought for to make 0:14:17.440 --> 0:14:22.200 sure that we had a mechanism for accountability within policing. Okay, 0:14:22.440 --> 0:14:25.320 he's talking about centering police and now he's running for governor. 0:14:25.480 --> 0:14:26.280 We need your help. 0:14:26.480 --> 0:14:29.320 We are going to fight Daniel Cameron tooth and nail, 0:14:29.640 --> 0:14:32.160 and in order to fight him, we are asking you. 0:14:32.320 --> 0:14:34.640 I know, it's a lot fifty dollars for a T shirt. 0:14:34.680 --> 0:14:36.640 You gotta be kidding me. The T shirt on the 0:14:36.680 --> 0:14:39.280 front set has a beautiful picture of Brionna Taylor. 0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.040 It's the shirt that we wore when we wore when 0:14:42.040 --> 0:14:42.600 we went. 0:14:42.440 --> 0:14:46.640 To the Beyonce concert or the Renaissance tour with forty 0:14:46.720 --> 0:14:50.280 of our people, protesters and lawyers and others who've been 0:14:50.320 --> 0:14:53.800 involved in the Brionna Taylor movement. And we are asking 0:14:53.880 --> 0:14:57.040 you to spend fifty dollars to buy yourself and everybody 0:14:57.080 --> 0:14:59.760 in your family stretch as far as you can, and 0:15:00.200 --> 0:15:02.920 a T shirt on until Freedom's website. Right now, you 0:15:03.000 --> 0:15:05.960 go to until freedom dot com and purchase a T shirt. 0:15:05.960 --> 0:15:09.400 We need to sell ten thousand T shirts at fifty 0:15:09.520 --> 0:15:12.920 dollars so that we can pay for our office space 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:17.440 in Louisville, Kentucky and in Lexington, Kentucky, hire our staff 0:15:17.600 --> 0:15:20.080 and put people to work to fight this man and 0:15:20.120 --> 0:15:23.160 not allow him to be rewarded to go from attorney 0:15:23.160 --> 0:15:26.560 general to governor. Because he becomes governor, he can become president. 0:15:26.720 --> 0:15:28.600 So we have to put a stop to it. So 0:15:28.680 --> 0:15:30.840 I'm gonna let you respond to that, but I just 0:15:30.880 --> 0:15:32.400 want to give you my thought of the day and 0:15:32.400 --> 0:15:35.120 then you take us out and take us to our guests. Okay, 0:15:35.920 --> 0:15:40.640 here's my thought of the day. 0:15:42.240 --> 0:15:43.840 It's a damn lie. 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:46.880 So, first of all, it's one thing to try to 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:53.320 change history and try to skew it where it sounds 0:15:53.840 --> 0:15:56.360 better and it's softer. So you don't want to say 0:15:56.600 --> 0:15:59.800 that these people were brutally beaten, they were murdered, they 0:15:59.800 --> 0:16:04.200 were rates, they were robbed from their homeland. It is 0:16:04.640 --> 0:16:11.000 absolutely one hundred percent alive. Now you can try to 0:16:11.240 --> 0:16:14.920 change history so it sounds better, so it feels better, 0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.440 so that people don't understand that the Africans who were 0:16:18.640 --> 0:16:25.320 robbed and and stolen and brought to America under freaking 0:16:25.840 --> 0:16:30.400 the worst atrocity that this country has ever or that 0:16:30.640 --> 0:16:34.360 the Europeans have ever committed in order to create this 0:16:34.960 --> 0:16:38.560 nation that we're in, that they. 0:16:38.480 --> 0:16:41.720 Stole from another group of people. So that that's the history. 0:16:42.080 --> 0:16:44.840 That's the history, and you could try to change it 0:16:45.280 --> 0:16:49.160 to make it sound softer so it feels better, and 0:16:49.200 --> 0:16:52.840 so people will not take with them your history when 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.760 they're voting, when they're spending their money, and when they 0:16:55.800 --> 0:16:58.240 are just living in their everyday lives and have to 0:16:58.280 --> 0:17:02.960 make decisions. Understand the devil that exists within some of 0:17:03.000 --> 0:17:06.160 those who are still walking among us. So you can 0:17:06.240 --> 0:17:09.320 try to change it, but then you're a damn liar 0:17:09.720 --> 0:17:13.800 because you sit there and say, and this new Florida, 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:18.160 these legislative items have been put in place to make 0:17:18.200 --> 0:17:22.320 it seem like, from our history perspective, when we got 0:17:22.359 --> 0:17:26.280 here to America, we learned skills. That's a damn lie. 0:17:26.359 --> 0:17:29.040 We already had the skills when we got here. That's 0:17:29.040 --> 0:17:32.520 why you came to get us. Because the Europeans were 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.879 among the people in Africa. They were on the continent, 0:17:37.040 --> 0:17:40.000 and they learned that we were already some of the 0:17:40.040 --> 0:17:44.960 most skillful people in the world. There was nobody anywhere 0:17:45.000 --> 0:17:48.320 else that was more skillful than us as Africans. 0:17:48.920 --> 0:17:51.320 These that was one of the reasons why they chose 0:17:51.359 --> 0:17:56.040 Africans as sleet. Absolutely, they realized how talented, durable all 0:17:56.160 --> 0:17:57.159 the things in the world. 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:01.160 Right, we were not just talented, but we also could 0:18:01.160 --> 0:18:05.200 stay in the sun for longer than any other group 0:18:05.280 --> 0:18:09.240 of people. And so they found us to be a commodity. 0:18:09.320 --> 0:18:12.520 We was a hot commodity. Don't you let anybody tell 0:18:12.600 --> 0:18:16.199 you that when we got here we developed skills. No, 0:18:16.320 --> 0:18:18.960 we bought our skills here. We bought skills that the 0:18:19.040 --> 0:18:22.879 Europeans didn't have. They didn't have the skills to build 0:18:22.920 --> 0:18:26.320 their own white house, to build their own monuments, to 0:18:26.440 --> 0:18:29.399 build their own society. They did not even have the 0:18:29.440 --> 0:18:33.440 skills to be a civilized people. We were the ones. 0:18:33.160 --> 0:18:35.440 Who had the skill set, who had. 0:18:35.240 --> 0:18:39.920 The ability to even raise their babies and feed their children. 0:18:40.320 --> 0:18:45.520 That was us, okay, that was Africans who were robbed 0:18:45.520 --> 0:18:50.320 of our homeland, our culture, everything everything about us, our names. 0:18:50.440 --> 0:18:53.199 They took everything and they stripped us down so that 0:18:53.240 --> 0:18:54.320 they could bring here. 0:18:54.520 --> 0:18:55.840 So bring us here. 0:18:55.880 --> 0:18:59.400 And use the skills that we already had. We were 0:18:59.440 --> 0:19:03.480 already carpenters. We were all refreshed. What are you talking about? 0:19:03.800 --> 0:19:06.280 First of all, if you go into Egypt and look 0:19:06.320 --> 0:19:07.760 at the walls, we were writing. 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:09.360 We were already writing. 0:19:09.400 --> 0:19:12.479 When you think about how TV shows were made, if 0:19:12.560 --> 0:19:15.919 you look at the cinema and how all those things happened, 0:19:16.000 --> 0:19:18.879 where you see an image and another image and another 0:19:18.920 --> 0:19:21.680 image and another image and it tells a full story. 0:19:22.040 --> 0:19:26.320 That's on the walls in the damn pyramids and inside 0:19:26.359 --> 0:19:32.000 of the different tombs and whatnot. In Egypt, in Africa, 0:19:32.119 --> 0:19:36.679 it's already there. So we had the skills. We built 0:19:36.720 --> 0:19:40.720 things that the world can't even imagine, that you would 0:19:40.760 --> 0:19:43.800 never have been able to And we're still doing it now. 0:19:44.200 --> 0:19:47.800 We ain't land on Plymouth rock. Plymouth Rock landed on us. 0:19:48.160 --> 0:19:52.520 I'm just saying it's a lie. It's not just it's 0:19:52.560 --> 0:19:56.640 not just distorted. It's a flat line that we had 0:19:56.680 --> 0:20:00.719 to learn those skills. No, we were the farmers, we 0:20:00.720 --> 0:20:05.560 were the carpenters, We raised the children, We were the builders. 0:20:05.960 --> 0:20:09.399 We did the cooking. We found things in the. 0:20:09.280 --> 0:20:12.640 Gardens and out in the wild that they didn't even 0:20:12.680 --> 0:20:16.280 know existed, to create the food that we all still 0:20:16.320 --> 0:20:17.080 eat right. 0:20:16.960 --> 0:20:18.720 Now, that's a fact. 0:20:18.920 --> 0:20:24.600 I mean, we've contributed so much to American civilization, you know, 0:20:24.920 --> 0:20:28.919 so to for Florida to even come up with this 0:20:29.200 --> 0:20:32.840 stupid ass you know, laws and legislation they're trying to 0:20:32.880 --> 0:20:37.359 pass in these schools, it's it's actually just disrespectful, you know. 0:20:37.600 --> 0:20:41.880 And and I just say to myself, we realized this America, 0:20:42.200 --> 0:20:44.680 you know, this is this is what they've done. 0:20:45.280 --> 0:20:50.600 They've they've done so many atrocities to so many different people, 0:20:50.640 --> 0:20:55.760 but black people being the most, and continue to compound 0:20:56.280 --> 0:20:59.480 those atrocities by trying to erase the history of those 0:20:59.520 --> 0:21:03.040 atrocity these and not reckon with that history, you know, 0:21:03.160 --> 0:21:04.400 and not be honest. 0:21:04.080 --> 0:21:07.800 About that history.
