1 00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:14,560 Speaker 1: Good morning, keeps, and welcome to Okay f Daily with 2 00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:20,200 Speaker 1: Meet Your Girl Danny L. Moody recording from the home bunker. First, folks, 3 00:00:20,440 --> 00:00:23,960 Speaker 1: I want to start off on this Tuesday by mentioning 4 00:00:24,040 --> 00:00:26,760 Speaker 1: something that you may have seen briefly in the news, 5 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:30,960 Speaker 1: but that I think is extraordinarily important, which is this. 6 00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:34,400 Speaker 1: It has been one year. One year since the mass 7 00:00:34,440 --> 00:00:37,680 Speaker 1: shooting that took place at the grocery store in Buffalo, 8 00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:42,720 Speaker 1: New York. One year since ten black patrons lost their lives. 9 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:49,239 Speaker 1: One year since a white supremacist put together in an 10 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:54,080 Speaker 1: entire oh, I don't know, manifesto that kind of red 11 00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,160 Speaker 1: light gave Fox News segment or rundown or maybe a 12 00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: guest of Tucker Carlson decided to leave his home and 13 00:01:05,640 --> 00:01:09,959 Speaker 1: drive about two hours or so to a densely populated 14 00:01:10,319 --> 00:01:15,760 Speaker 1: black area in Buffalo, New York, where they would be 15 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:23,560 Speaker 1: gathered on a Saturday morning, right nonchalantly shopping for the weekend. Grandmother's, uncles, 16 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:29,280 Speaker 1: father's mother's old people, young people, middle aged folks just 17 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: trying to live their lives, and a white supremacist would 18 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,240 Speaker 1: find his way to that grocery store that he had 19 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:43,240 Speaker 1: done recon work over and take out ten people. Now, 20 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:50,560 Speaker 1: in my humble opinion, there have been too many incidents 21 00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: that we have just become numb to shrug off because 22 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: they happen all the time, and mass shootings are one 23 00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 1: of those instances. But mass shootings, particularly at the hands 24 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:08,040 Speaker 1: of white supremacists, we just take as par for the course. 25 00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:12,360 Speaker 1: In America, the thing that has been on the rise 26 00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:16,399 Speaker 1: that the FBI wrote a report on about roughly ten 27 00:02:16,480 --> 00:02:20,880 Speaker 1: years ago, has been the threat of white domestic terrorism 28 00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: has been the threat of white supremacy. Two our democracy 29 00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:31,400 Speaker 1: has been the increase in violence right against communities of color, 30 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 1: against Jewish folks, against Muslim people, against Asian folks, against 31 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 1: black people, Latin X, queer people, trans people, in particular, 32 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:48,080 Speaker 1: everyone who is not presenting as white, cis, hetero, and 33 00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:55,520 Speaker 1: often times male. Now, the killing in Buffalo was so 34 00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:00,560 Speaker 1: horrific and stark, and it reminded me of the killing 35 00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:05,320 Speaker 1: that took place at Mother Emmanuel Church in South Carolina, 36 00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:08,400 Speaker 1: where nine parishioners, in the midst of prayer, in opening 37 00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: up their house of worship to Dylan Rufe would die 38 00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:19,800 Speaker 1: because he saw fit to sit down with black people 39 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,960 Speaker 1: in prayer and take out their lives. Why because he's 40 00:03:22,960 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: a white supremacist that was radicalized through what you know. 41 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: This is the thing too, folks, is that we consistently 42 00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,240 Speaker 1: talk about the radicalization of these you know, of these 43 00:03:34,400 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 1: white boys, and frankly, there is no better place to 44 00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:41,080 Speaker 1: get radicalized than on Fox. There's no better place to 45 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,400 Speaker 1: get radicalized than in the state of Florida that's being 46 00:03:43,480 --> 00:03:47,280 Speaker 1: run by a complete white supremacist fascist. There's no better 47 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,640 Speaker 1: place to be radicalized than in Texas, right, that is 48 00:03:51,680 --> 00:03:56,360 Speaker 1: being run by a white supremacist fascist. Greg Abbott, you 49 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,680 Speaker 1: don't need to go to the dark Web. You don't 50 00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:03,320 Speaker 1: need to go to the dark corners of the Internet 51 00:04:03,480 --> 00:04:10,080 Speaker 1: in order to find groups that are ideologically aligned with 52 00:04:10,160 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: white supremacy. They are organizing and are allowed to stand 53 00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:21,520 Speaker 1: right out in the open. So, folks, on the year anniversary, 54 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: right of this mass shooting that took place in Buffalo, 55 00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,800 Speaker 1: what happened over the weekend, Well, it wasn't just Mother's 56 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 1: Day weekend. It also wasn't just my father's birthday. And 57 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,880 Speaker 1: you know, caught up in the celebrations of you know, 58 00:04:34,960 --> 00:04:38,160 Speaker 1: another year granted, and you know, being grateful for the 59 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: kind of mother that I have but you know, as 60 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:45,039 Speaker 1: I tell you all the time, I try my very 61 00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:48,680 Speaker 1: best not to watch the news on the weekends. I 62 00:04:48,680 --> 00:04:50,680 Speaker 1: don't even really watch the news. If I'm going to 63 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:54,480 Speaker 1: be on the news, I read articles, right, because there 64 00:04:54,600 --> 00:05:00,760 Speaker 1: is a purposeful, emotional mental cleansing that takes place for 65 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:03,839 Speaker 1: me as soon as I turn off the microphone on 66 00:05:03,960 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 1: any given day. It's why I tell you all to 67 00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:10,360 Speaker 1: do the very same. I have, you know, rituals that 68 00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:12,799 Speaker 1: I kind of moved through as a way to cleanse 69 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,840 Speaker 1: myself of what I've been steeped in. It's the way 70 00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:20,840 Speaker 1: that I keep myself emotionally and energetically cleansed right so 71 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:24,320 Speaker 1: that I'm no longer attaching myself to the hatred, that 72 00:05:24,360 --> 00:05:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm no longer attaching myself to de vitriol that's being 73 00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,000 Speaker 1: put in my face on a regular basis, and that 74 00:05:30,040 --> 00:05:34,599 Speaker 1: I'm trying to analyze for all of you. But to 75 00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:40,280 Speaker 1: my dismay, I accidentally turned on the news on Sunday evening. 76 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:44,560 Speaker 1: And what do I see on Sunday evening? I see video. 77 00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:46,320 Speaker 1: I don't know if it was live, because I don't 78 00:05:46,360 --> 00:05:49,160 Speaker 1: know if this march that took place by the quote 79 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 1: unquote Patriot Front in Washington, DC. Whether or not it 80 00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,000 Speaker 1: happened on Saturday or Sunday, I can't recall at this time. 81 00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:59,040 Speaker 1: But what I can't tell you is that these white 82 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: men who had face coverings on, looking like they had 83 00:06:03,680 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 1: pulled white athletic socks over their faces, and they had 84 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: sunglasses on, you know, because they're so proud to be 85 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:12,680 Speaker 1: white supremacts, they hide their faces. But traditionally, why do 86 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,520 Speaker 1: why do white supremacts? Why do KKK members and Nazis 87 00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 1: and what and so forth. Well, the Nazis didn't hide 88 00:06:19,440 --> 00:06:22,800 Speaker 1: their faces, right because they owned and operated everything, so 89 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:24,719 Speaker 1: they were proud to be doing what they were doing. 90 00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: But in this country is more often than not that 91 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: KKK and white supremact organizations hide their faces. And why 92 00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:37,280 Speaker 1: is that? Oh, because they know that in their hearts, 93 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: if they actually have them, or wherever in the place 94 00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:46,640 Speaker 1: of where their heart is, they know that mainstream does 95 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:53,000 Speaker 1: not accept the language and the ideology of wiping out 96 00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:59,840 Speaker 1: entire religions, races, orientations, and so forth. That these people 97 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:06,599 Speaker 1: oftentimes find themselves in law enforcement positions as judges, doctors, dentists, 98 00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:10,360 Speaker 1: right in positions where they are actually supposed to be 99 00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:16,480 Speaker 1: a credible, active member of society, and so they cover 100 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,400 Speaker 1: their faces so that they can profess their hatred right 101 00:07:21,840 --> 00:07:25,320 Speaker 1: in broad daylight, but by being able to then keep 102 00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:29,720 Speaker 1: their jobs. And so for me, you know, my call 103 00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:33,280 Speaker 1: out to white supremaist motherfuckers that I'm sure don't listen 104 00:07:33,320 --> 00:07:35,880 Speaker 1: to that show is take off your hood covering bro 105 00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:40,440 Speaker 1: right punk, out your chest right, show the people who 106 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 1: you are, because you're so bold and you're so bad 107 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:47,040 Speaker 1: right that you all need to be in locked formation 108 00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: because one on one you're nothing more than a bunch 109 00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 1: of in cell punks. Because I made the joke on 110 00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:56,080 Speaker 1: my other show on The New Abnormal that you know, 111 00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:59,120 Speaker 1: these folks have to be part of the in cell community. 112 00:07:59,160 --> 00:08:02,880 Speaker 1: You know, the ones that are afraid of women because 113 00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,240 Speaker 1: they've never had a date and never been in These 114 00:08:05,240 --> 00:08:08,560 Speaker 1: are the hetero ones, right, because the closeted ones, you know, 115 00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: they just hate and bash gay folks and trans folks. 116 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:15,400 Speaker 1: But nonetheless you know that they need to be in 117 00:08:15,520 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: mass right because they are pathetic human beings as individuals. 118 00:08:20,760 --> 00:08:22,840 Speaker 1: But when I turned on the news and I see 119 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,600 Speaker 1: this on the year anniversary right of marking of ten 120 00:08:26,640 --> 00:08:29,400 Speaker 1: black people being murdered for doing nothing other than being 121 00:08:29,440 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 1: in the right place at the wrong time. Then I 122 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:37,800 Speaker 1: hear that our President Joe Biden was at Howard University 123 00:08:38,360 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: over that same weekend last weekend, giving a commencement speech, 124 00:08:43,320 --> 00:08:46,600 Speaker 1: and in that commencement speech, he said that white supremacy 125 00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:50,679 Speaker 1: is the greatest threat facing our country. Ding ding ding 126 00:08:50,760 --> 00:08:54,600 Speaker 1: ding ding. Yeah, the FBI found that out over a 127 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:59,959 Speaker 1: decade ago, but that report was hidden, right, It wasn't investigated, 128 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:03,880 Speaker 1: it wasn't excavated. Why because Republicans at that time said, oh, 129 00:09:03,960 --> 00:09:10,720 Speaker 1: you're going to harm our base. Here's the thing, a 130 00:09:10,800 --> 00:09:16,760 Speaker 1: really valid question, which is why don't we have domestic 131 00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:20,960 Speaker 1: terrorism laws on the books. Why do we try and 132 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: contort our laws in order to be able to charge 133 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:30,760 Speaker 1: these people in the first place. Why, as a hate group, 134 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,480 Speaker 1: which is what the Patriot Front is, are you allowed 135 00:09:34,559 --> 00:09:39,400 Speaker 1: to march any good goddamn place and not be arrested. Right? So, 136 00:09:39,760 --> 00:09:45,240 Speaker 1: here's the thing, because many of those same people, right, 137 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,640 Speaker 1: are the ones that are creating the laws in the 138 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 1: first place, are the ones that are elected officials and 139 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,120 Speaker 1: that are sitting in office. And so we don't have 140 00:09:55,240 --> 00:09:59,480 Speaker 1: domestic terrorism laws because the ones that are writing the 141 00:09:59,559 --> 00:10:05,760 Speaker 1: laws are oftentimes affiliated with domestic terrorism. That's why Donald 142 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,440 Speaker 1: Trump told the Proud Boys and the Oathkeepers to stand 143 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,720 Speaker 1: back and stand by. That's why Roger Stone had his 144 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 1: own private security with the Proud Boys. And on the 145 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,280 Speaker 1: day of the Stop the Steal that many were detailed 146 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,920 Speaker 1: of the Proud Boys and the Oathkeepers to quote unquote protect. 147 00:10:24,440 --> 00:10:27,720 Speaker 1: Those are Republican members that were standing up on that 148 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,400 Speaker 1: stage directing people to sack our democracy and trash our 149 00:10:32,440 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: Capitol building. So until we actually create laws that are 150 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 1: specific about who these groups are and what they stand for, 151 00:10:47,800 --> 00:10:51,320 Speaker 1: and that by even marching in public that this is 152 00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,880 Speaker 1: not your right to assembly, that you are seeking to 153 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:58,640 Speaker 1: terrorize and threaten groups of people should get you an 154 00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:05,760 Speaker 1: automatic fucking arrectest. But this is where we have to 155 00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 1: do the hard work of actually digging in and realizing 156 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:16,640 Speaker 1: who these people are. They're all cut from the same 157 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:25,199 Speaker 1: fucking cloth, you know. Honoring the ten victims of the 158 00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:30,000 Speaker 1: mass shooting in Buffalo, Reverend Al Sharpton spoke this weekend 159 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:35,079 Speaker 1: and he called white supremacy and racism in America a 160 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:40,840 Speaker 1: theestering wound. And how does a wound fester? Right? It 161 00:11:40,880 --> 00:11:46,920 Speaker 1: may scab over, but it's still not healed underneath, right, 162 00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:50,480 Speaker 1: And why isn't it healed? Because it was never really treated. 163 00:11:51,120 --> 00:11:55,000 Speaker 1: Because you see, when you have deep wounds, you have 164 00:11:55,080 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 1: to clean them out. You have to go win. You 165 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:06,800 Speaker 1: have to get the dirt out, get the dead skin out, 166 00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:11,520 Speaker 1: spray it down, disinfect it, let it air a little bit, 167 00:12:14,160 --> 00:12:17,880 Speaker 1: and then depending on the depth, you either patch it 168 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:24,120 Speaker 1: up or you sew it up. And I would argue 169 00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: that America's wound is surgical. But we continue and have continued, 170 00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:37,480 Speaker 1: not just now, because the shit that we have to 171 00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:42,200 Speaker 1: understand that it's happening, whether it's happening in Florida or Texas, 172 00:12:42,280 --> 00:12:49,000 Speaker 1: or Alabama or Tennessee. This shit is not new. It 173 00:12:49,080 --> 00:12:59,760 Speaker 1: is never new. All Republicans, ever do is regurgitate history, 174 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 1: use the same tactics, the same patterns, in order to 175 00:13:04,920 --> 00:13:10,760 Speaker 1: get the result that you didn't get initially. These people wanted. 176 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:15,400 Speaker 1: Think about how fucking dumb you wanted a white supremacist 177 00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: ruled nation, right, But you want to bring in enslaved 178 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,440 Speaker 1: black people to do your work. Right? If white people 179 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,480 Speaker 1: are so great, then why aren't you doing your own 180 00:13:28,520 --> 00:13:31,360 Speaker 1: fucking work? Oh, because we're too smart to do that. 181 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:35,439 Speaker 1: Uh huh, and then what was once referred to as 182 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:43,840 Speaker 1: chattel human beings that are actually acknowledged as said human beings. 183 00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: And because you live in a place of fragility and fear, 184 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,640 Speaker 1: which is why you had to concoct the notion of 185 00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:56,680 Speaker 1: white supremacy to begin with, you need to create policies 186 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:01,240 Speaker 1: and roadblocks that disallow these people to be able to 187 00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:10,040 Speaker 1: achieve so that you can have your self fulfilling prophecy. Oh, well, 188 00:14:10,080 --> 00:14:13,280 Speaker 1: you see, their neighborhoods are filled with crime. Well, you 189 00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,599 Speaker 1: never created policies that would actually allow for those neighborhoods 190 00:14:16,760 --> 00:14:20,239 Speaker 1: to have good schools, to offer jobs, to have sidewalks, 191 00:14:20,280 --> 00:14:25,880 Speaker 1: to have trees, to have community centers. Right. Businesses were 192 00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,200 Speaker 1: allowed not to invest into certain communities. Rite and just 193 00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 1: bring you check cashing places and liquor stores. Right. The 194 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: government was able to say, oh, yeah, we believe in 195 00:14:37,600 --> 00:14:45,000 Speaker 1: free public education, but then not invest in schools and 196 00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:49,280 Speaker 1: buildings and curriculum that would allow all people to be 197 00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,920 Speaker 1: able to succeed. So you see, it was always a 198 00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:55,680 Speaker 1: self fulfilling prophecy that black people are not worth anything. 199 00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,560 Speaker 1: And then you can have the belief that that's why 200 00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 1: we don't invest. But you see all of this, friends, 201 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,920 Speaker 1: I say, you have to really look not that deep 202 00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,960 Speaker 1: because it comes from a place of fragility and fear 203 00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: and scarcity, This idea that there is not enough, this 204 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:22,440 Speaker 1: idea that these people are less than. Well, if we're 205 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,720 Speaker 1: so less then right, then why do you need to 206 00:15:26,800 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 1: create additional barriers? If we're not going to succeed anyhow? Right, 207 00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 1: because you're not as smart and not as agile, and 208 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,960 Speaker 1: not as this and that as that, then why do 209 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:43,720 Speaker 1: you need to double down? Because everything is about projection 210 00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:50,040 Speaker 1: when it comes to white supremacists and these fascist regimes, 211 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:56,240 Speaker 1: because if you are so great, you don't need to 212 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,400 Speaker 1: stand on somebody else's neck because standing ten toes down, 213 00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:01,560 Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to beat you. Nohow. 214 00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: So I don't understand why we never just call out 215 00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:15,000 Speaker 1: the bullshit, right Like, why we never just call out 216 00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:17,920 Speaker 1: the lie and air it the fuck out. No, we 217 00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,880 Speaker 1: continue to pretend that all is well, all is equal, 218 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: all is fine. We were post racial, but we don't 219 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:31,280 Speaker 1: want to have the real story that we're here because 220 00:16:31,320 --> 00:16:36,800 Speaker 1: of the continued, the continued white lash over the last 221 00:16:36,840 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 1: decade plus from a black man having the audacity too 222 00:16:42,360 --> 00:16:48,120 Speaker 1: lawfully achieve the highest office of the land, not once, 223 00:16:48,160 --> 00:17:00,680 Speaker 1: but twice. So, folks, you know, when I look at 224 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:03,520 Speaker 1: one story after the other, and I'm going to get 225 00:17:03,560 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: to Daniel Penny in a moment. And Daniel Penny is 226 00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 1: the white former marine, twenty four years old, formerly marine, 227 00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,879 Speaker 1: finally charged with manslaughter in the death of Jordan Neely. 228 00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: So I'll get to that in a minute. That became 229 00:17:25,080 --> 00:17:29,840 Speaker 1: a national story. It happened on a New York City subway. 230 00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 1: When I look at all of these stories, folks, I realize, 231 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: and you know that Reverend Al Sharpton is right that 232 00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:49,119 Speaker 1: if America really was serious about its future, about its democracy, 233 00:17:51,480 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 1: that now would be the time that we are looking 234 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: to excavate the wound, that we are looking to clear 235 00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 1: it all and air it all out so that we 236 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,520 Speaker 1: can actually get to a place of healing generations upon 237 00:18:07,680 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: generations from now. We've clearly done some work because I 238 00:18:15,280 --> 00:18:18,479 Speaker 1: am a black queer woman that has a political podcast 239 00:18:20,359 --> 00:18:25,760 Speaker 1: right that is speaking freely as of now about how 240 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,760 Speaker 1: we actually better this nation that would have never been 241 00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:37,840 Speaker 1: heard of fifty years ago. Let alone, let's be honest, 242 00:18:39,359 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: twenty years ago, thirty years ago. So I want us 243 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:50,080 Speaker 1: to understand that, you know, we have a real problem 244 00:18:52,440 --> 00:18:58,199 Speaker 1: and the reason why we have these inflection points around 245 00:18:58,200 --> 00:19:02,639 Speaker 1: white supremacies because you don't talk about white supremacy, because 246 00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 1: all we've been taught is the rose colored glasses version 247 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 1: of America. Why are white people so upset these days 248 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:15,280 Speaker 1: because they are grappling with the truth. America can be 249 00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:21,040 Speaker 1: both a place right that offers democracy and happiness and 250 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:25,960 Speaker 1: all of these things, and be fertile ground for white 251 00:19:26,000 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: supremacy and fascism and hate. I don't think that we 252 00:19:31,320 --> 00:19:36,800 Speaker 1: will ever get rid of discrimination and racism and anti 253 00:19:36,840 --> 00:19:43,280 Speaker 1: semitism and homophobia and transphobia. That's not the goal because 254 00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,400 Speaker 1: that would be an impossible one to meet. But the 255 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:52,280 Speaker 1: real goal is that you make it uncomfortable. You make 256 00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:58,040 Speaker 1: it uncomfortable for these people to exist in the mainstream. 257 00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: You make it a monetary issue, right, you make it 258 00:20:11,359 --> 00:20:16,439 Speaker 1: a quote unquote polite society issue. We were there and 259 00:20:16,480 --> 00:20:19,399 Speaker 1: then the election or appointment, if we want to be 260 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:23,000 Speaker 1: real about the twenty sixteen election, the appointment of Donald 261 00:20:23,040 --> 00:20:30,440 Speaker 1: Trump had progress stopped dead in its tracks, and all 262 00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:32,399 Speaker 1: the work that we had done to get to a 263 00:20:32,440 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 1: place where it was no longer appropriate could have people 264 00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:42,560 Speaker 1: lose their jobs for being a racist and misogynist, a 265 00:20:42,640 --> 00:20:45,879 Speaker 1: sexual harass or all of these things. Now Donald Trump 266 00:20:45,920 --> 00:20:51,600 Speaker 1: made that right again. That's what he made great. In 267 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,800 Speaker 1: eight years, we wiped away the progress that had been 268 00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: made in this country to see people as people, to 269 00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:04,480 Speaker 1: respect all people as human beings, to have dignity and 270 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: respect inside of our institutions, to be teaching our children 271 00:21:10,600 --> 00:21:13,639 Speaker 1: the truth about the founding of this nation, not so 272 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,879 Speaker 1: that they hate it, but that so they realize that 273 00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:22,000 Speaker 1: they are part of this larger story of each generation's 274 00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: responsibility to make this country better. And you see, we 275 00:21:27,240 --> 00:21:30,080 Speaker 1: were getting so close, which is why you are seeing 276 00:21:30,119 --> 00:21:33,359 Speaker 1: this type of backlash. Because if we weren't making progress, folks, 277 00:21:35,520 --> 00:21:42,240 Speaker 1: Aron DeSantis wouldn't exist, the Greg Abbott wouldn't exist, a 278 00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,080 Speaker 1: Marshery Tale of Green wouldn't exist. A Lauren Bobert or 279 00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:51,960 Speaker 1: Donald Trump I said in twenty sixteen that this was 280 00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,240 Speaker 1: this is we are living inside of white supremacy's last stand. 281 00:21:56,440 --> 00:22:00,480 Speaker 1: That does not mean that I think it's going to 282 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:05,880 Speaker 1: be over in my lifetime or yours, but it means 283 00:22:05,920 --> 00:22:08,920 Speaker 1: that we are seeing the truth that more people are conscious. 284 00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:13,160 Speaker 1: More people are woke than have ever been before, at 285 00:22:13,200 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: any time before, and they are running fucking scared. So 286 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:26,320 Speaker 1: this is a reminder when you see story after story 287 00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 1: and you get that lump in your throat and you 288 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,879 Speaker 1: begin to feel overwhelmed, like we're never going to be 289 00:22:33,880 --> 00:22:37,639 Speaker 1: able to stop this. Take your ego out of the work, 290 00:22:40,520 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: because once you realize that we may never see the 291 00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:47,639 Speaker 1: rainbow the pot of gold in our lifetimes, it doesn't 292 00:22:47,720 --> 00:22:52,639 Speaker 1: stop us from trying to create a better world with 293 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: what it is that we have, what it is that 294 00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 1: we've been given, the shoulders that we're standing on. It 295 00:23:00,080 --> 00:23:02,560 Speaker 1: takes the stress out of it because it's like I 296 00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,600 Speaker 1: can only do what I can do with the short 297 00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,959 Speaker 1: time on this planet that I am granted. But it 298 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:15,000 Speaker 1: is not about us living a quote unquote care free 299 00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:20,280 Speaker 1: life or living inside of a utopia of our own creation. 300 00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:23,520 Speaker 1: That's what our ego wants us to drive towards. It 301 00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:28,320 Speaker 1: is about the collective we humanity, and what are we 302 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: each doing to create a better world. Because the reason 303 00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:40,439 Speaker 1: why we are in this backlash, the reason why we 304 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: are experiencing this whitelash, is because they can taste their end. 305 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:57,040 Speaker 1: There is never more fear than when people feel like 306 00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:02,280 Speaker 1: they are backed up against the wall. And that is 307 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:09,560 Speaker 1: where white supremacy is. We may not see its complete end, 308 00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,639 Speaker 1: but each and every single one of us, regardless of 309 00:24:12,680 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 1: our hue, regardless of our identity, if we believe in humanity, 310 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:26,000 Speaker 1: equity and justice truly, then we all have work to do, 311 00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:33,919 Speaker 1: continued work to do, not working ourselves to death, not 312 00:24:34,040 --> 00:24:39,640 Speaker 1: working ourselves into a frenzy, into exhaustion. But every day 313 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:46,600 Speaker 1: we have work to do so that we our lives 314 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 1: are about planting seeds. Consider ourselves right, the farmers of justice. 315 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,280 Speaker 1: Our work is to plant the seeds, not necessary really 316 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:09,200 Speaker 1: eat the fruit. That is it for me today, dear friends, 317 00:25:09,320 --> 00:25:13,200 Speaker 1: on woke a f as always Power to the people 318 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:16,840 Speaker 1: and to all the people. Power, Get woke and stay 319 00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 1: woke as fuck.
