WEBVTT - This is Who They Are 0:00:11.720 --> 0:00:14.560 Good morning, keeps, and welcome to Okay f Daily with 0:00:14.680 --> 0:00:20.200 Meet Your Girl Danny L. Moody recording from the home bunker. First, folks, 0:00:20.440 --> 0:00:23.960 I want to start off on this Tuesday by mentioning 0:00:24.040 --> 0:00:26.760 something that you may have seen briefly in the news, 0:00:26.760 --> 0:00:30.960 but that I think is extraordinarily important, which is this. 0:00:31.280 --> 0:00:34.400 It has been one year. One year since the mass 0:00:34.440 --> 0:00:37.680 shooting that took place at the grocery store in Buffalo, 0:00:37.760 --> 0:00:42.720 New York. One year since ten black patrons lost their lives. 0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:49.239 One year since a white supremacist put together in an 0:00:49.479 --> 0:00:54.080 entire oh, I don't know, manifesto that kind of red 0:00:54.160 --> 0:00:59.160 light gave Fox News segment or rundown or maybe a 0:00:59.200 --> 0:01:05.440 guest of Tucker Carlson decided to leave his home and 0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:09.959 drive about two hours or so to a densely populated 0:01:10.319 --> 0:01:15.760 black area in Buffalo, New York, where they would be 0:01:15.840 --> 0:01:23.560 gathered on a Saturday morning, right nonchalantly shopping for the weekend. Grandmother's, uncles, 0:01:23.640 --> 0:01:29.280 father's mother's old people, young people, middle aged folks just 0:01:29.640 --> 0:01:33.440 trying to live their lives, and a white supremacist would 0:01:33.480 --> 0:01:36.240 find his way to that grocery store that he had 0:01:36.280 --> 0:01:43.240 done recon work over and take out ten people. Now, 0:01:45.000 --> 0:01:50.560 in my humble opinion, there have been too many incidents 0:01:51.360 --> 0:01:55.360 that we have just become numb to shrug off because 0:01:55.720 --> 0:01:58.040 they happen all the time, and mass shootings are one 0:01:58.080 --> 0:02:03.400 of those instances. But mass shootings, particularly at the hands 0:02:03.440 --> 0:02:08.040 of white supremacists, we just take as par for the course. 0:02:08.040 --> 0:02:12.360 In America, the thing that has been on the rise 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:16.399 that the FBI wrote a report on about roughly ten 0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:20.880 years ago, has been the threat of white domestic terrorism 0:02:20.960 --> 0:02:24.880 has been the threat of white supremacy. Two our democracy 0:02:25.639 --> 0:02:31.400 has been the increase in violence right against communities of color, 0:02:31.919 --> 0:02:37.640 against Jewish folks, against Muslim people, against Asian folks, against 0:02:37.680 --> 0:02:41.480 black people, Latin X, queer people, trans people, in particular, 0:02:42.560 --> 0:02:48.080 everyone who is not presenting as white, cis, hetero, and 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:55.520 often times male. Now, the killing in Buffalo was so 0:02:57.200 --> 0:03:00.560 horrific and stark, and it reminded me of the killing 0:03:00.600 --> 0:03:05.320 that took place at Mother Emmanuel Church in South Carolina, 0:03:05.360 --> 0:03:08.400 where nine parishioners, in the midst of prayer, in opening 0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:16.000 up their house of worship to Dylan Rufe would die 0:03:16.520 --> 0:03:19.800 because he saw fit to sit down with black people 0:03:19.880 --> 0:03:22.960 in prayer and take out their lives. Why because he's 0:03:22.960 --> 0:03:27.880 a white supremacist that was radicalized through what you know. 0:03:28.000 --> 0:03:30.880 This is the thing too, folks, is that we consistently 0:03:30.960 --> 0:03:34.240 talk about the radicalization of these you know, of these 0:03:34.400 --> 0:03:37.680 white boys, and frankly, there is no better place to 0:03:37.720 --> 0:03:41.080 get radicalized than on Fox. There's no better place to 0:03:41.080 --> 0:03:43.400 get radicalized than in the state of Florida that's being 0:03:43.480 --> 0:03:47.280 run by a complete white supremacist fascist. There's no better 0:03:47.280 --> 0:03:51.640 place to be radicalized than in Texas, right, that is 0:03:51.680 --> 0:03:56.360 being run by a white supremacist fascist. Greg Abbott, you 0:03:56.400 --> 0:03:59.680 don't need to go to the dark Web. You don't 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:03.320 need to go to the dark corners of the Internet 0:04:03.480 --> 0:04:10.080 in order to find groups that are ideologically aligned with 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:15.520 white supremacy. They are organizing and are allowed to stand 0:04:15.640 --> 0:04:21.520 right out in the open. So, folks, on the year anniversary, 0:04:21.920 --> 0:04:24.800 right of this mass shooting that took place in Buffalo, 0:04:25.279 --> 0:04:28.800 what happened over the weekend, Well, it wasn't just Mother's 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.040 Day weekend. It also wasn't just my father's birthday. And 0:04:32.080 --> 0:04:34.880 you know, caught up in the celebrations of you know, 0:04:34.960 --> 0:04:38.160 another year granted, and you know, being grateful for the 0:04:38.240 --> 0:04:42.480 kind of mother that I have but you know, as 0:04:42.480 --> 0:04:45.039 I tell you all the time, I try my very 0:04:45.080 --> 0:04:48.680 best not to watch the news on the weekends. I 0:04:48.680 --> 0:04:50.680 don't even really watch the news. If I'm going to 0:04:50.720 --> 0:04:54.480 be on the news, I read articles, right, because there 0:04:54.600 --> 0:05:00.760 is a purposeful, emotional mental cleansing that takes place for 0:05:00.839 --> 0:05:03.839 me as soon as I turn off the microphone on 0:05:03.960 --> 0:05:07.200 any given day. It's why I tell you all to 0:05:07.240 --> 0:05:10.360 do the very same. I have, you know, rituals that 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:12.799 I kind of moved through as a way to cleanse 0:05:12.839 --> 0:05:15.840 myself of what I've been steeped in. It's the way 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:20.840 that I keep myself emotionally and energetically cleansed right so 0:05:20.880 --> 0:05:24.320 that I'm no longer attaching myself to the hatred, that 0:05:24.360 --> 0:05:27.880 I'm no longer attaching myself to de vitriol that's being 0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:30.000 put in my face on a regular basis, and that 0:05:30.040 --> 0:05:34.599 I'm trying to analyze for all of you. But to 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:40.280 my dismay, I accidentally turned on the news on Sunday evening. 0:05:41.160 --> 0:05:44.560 And what do I see on Sunday evening? I see video. 0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:46.320 I don't know if it was live, because I don't 0:05:46.360 --> 0:05:49.160 know if this march that took place by the quote 0:05:49.240 --> 0:05:53.200 unquote Patriot Front in Washington, DC. Whether or not it 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.000 happened on Saturday or Sunday, I can't recall at this time. 0:05:56.480 --> 0:05:59.040 But what I can't tell you is that these white 0:05:59.040 --> 0:06:03.479 men who had face coverings on, looking like they had 0:06:03.680 --> 0:06:06.520 pulled white athletic socks over their faces, and they had 0:06:06.520 --> 0:06:09.159 sunglasses on, you know, because they're so proud to be 0:06:09.200 --> 0:06:12.680 white supremacts, they hide their faces. But traditionally, why do 0:06:12.880 --> 0:06:16.520 why do white supremacts? Why do KKK members and Nazis 0:06:16.520 --> 0:06:19.400 and what and so forth. Well, the Nazis didn't hide 0:06:19.440 --> 0:06:22.800 their faces, right because they owned and operated everything, so 0:06:22.839 --> 0:06:24.719 they were proud to be doing what they were doing. 0:06:24.760 --> 0:06:28.839 But in this country is more often than not that 0:06:29.000 --> 0:06:32.880 KKK and white supremact organizations hide their faces. And why 0:06:33.000 --> 0:06:37.280 is that? Oh, because they know that in their hearts, 0:06:37.320 --> 0:06:39.599 if they actually have them, or wherever in the place 0:06:39.640 --> 0:06:46.640 of where their heart is, they know that mainstream does 0:06:46.760 --> 0:06:53.000 not accept the language and the ideology of wiping out 0:06:53.440 --> 0:06:59.840 entire religions, races, orientations, and so forth. That these people 0:07:00.160 --> 0:07:06.599 oftentimes find themselves in law enforcement positions as judges, doctors, dentists, 0:07:07.120 --> 0:07:10.360 right in positions where they are actually supposed to be 0:07:11.480 --> 0:07:16.480 a credible, active member of society, and so they cover 0:07:16.560 --> 0:07:21.400 their faces so that they can profess their hatred right 0:07:21.840 --> 0:07:25.320 in broad daylight, but by being able to then keep 0:07:25.360 --> 0:07:29.720 their jobs. And so for me, you know, my call 0:07:29.800 --> 0:07:33.280 out to white supremaist motherfuckers that I'm sure don't listen 0:07:33.320 --> 0:07:35.880 to that show is take off your hood covering bro 0:07:37.040 --> 0:07:40.440 right punk, out your chest right, show the people who 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:43.560 you are, because you're so bold and you're so bad 0:07:44.160 --> 0:07:47.040 right that you all need to be in locked formation 0:07:47.480 --> 0:07:50.000 because one on one you're nothing more than a bunch 0:07:50.040 --> 0:07:53.080 of in cell punks. Because I made the joke on 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:56.080 my other show on The New Abnormal that you know, 0:07:56.440 --> 0:07:59.120 these folks have to be part of the in cell community. 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.880 You know, the ones that are afraid of women because 0:08:02.920 --> 0:08:05.240 they've never had a date and never been in These 0:08:05.240 --> 0:08:08.560 are the hetero ones, right, because the closeted ones, you know, 0:08:08.640 --> 0:08:11.720 they just hate and bash gay folks and trans folks. 0:08:11.760 --> 0:08:15.400 But nonetheless you know that they need to be in 0:08:15.520 --> 0:08:20.280 mass right because they are pathetic human beings as individuals. 0:08:20.760 --> 0:08:22.840 But when I turned on the news and I see 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.600 this on the year anniversary right of marking of ten 0:08:26.640 --> 0:08:29.400 black people being murdered for doing nothing other than being 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.400 in the right place at the wrong time. Then I 0:08:32.520 --> 0:08:37.800 hear that our President Joe Biden was at Howard University 0:08:38.360 --> 0:08:42.800 over that same weekend last weekend, giving a commencement speech, 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:46.600 and in that commencement speech, he said that white supremacy 0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:50.679 is the greatest threat facing our country. Ding ding ding 0:08:50.760 --> 0:08:54.600 ding ding. Yeah, the FBI found that out over a 0:08:54.640 --> 0:08:59.959 decade ago, but that report was hidden, right, It wasn't investigated, 0:09:00.080 --> 0:09:03.880 it wasn't excavated. Why because Republicans at that time said, oh, 0:09:03.960 --> 0:09:10.720 you're going to harm our base. Here's the thing, a 0:09:10.800 --> 0:09:16.760 really valid question, which is why don't we have domestic 0:09:16.880 --> 0:09:20.960 terrorism laws on the books. Why do we try and 0:09:21.120 --> 0:09:26.760 contort our laws in order to be able to charge 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:30.760 these people in the first place. Why, as a hate group, 0:09:31.120 --> 0:09:34.480 which is what the Patriot Front is, are you allowed 0:09:34.559 --> 0:09:39.400 to march any good goddamn place and not be arrested. Right? So, 0:09:39.760 --> 0:09:45.240 here's the thing, because many of those same people, right, 0:09:45.320 --> 0:09:47.640 are the ones that are creating the laws in the 0:09:47.679 --> 0:09:50.960 first place, are the ones that are elected officials and 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:55.120 that are sitting in office. And so we don't have 0:09:55.240 --> 0:09:59.480 domestic terrorism laws because the ones that are writing the 0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:05.760 laws are oftentimes affiliated with domestic terrorism. That's why Donald 0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:08.440 Trump told the Proud Boys and the Oathkeepers to stand 0:10:08.440 --> 0:10:11.720 back and stand by. That's why Roger Stone had his 0:10:11.880 --> 0:10:17.120 own private security with the Proud Boys. And on the 0:10:17.200 --> 0:10:20.280 day of the Stop the Steal that many were detailed 0:10:20.600 --> 0:10:23.920 of the Proud Boys and the Oathkeepers to quote unquote protect. 0:10:24.440 --> 0:10:27.720 Those are Republican members that were standing up on that 0:10:27.840 --> 0:10:32.400 stage directing people to sack our democracy and trash our 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:40.600 Capitol building. So until we actually create laws that are 0:10:40.640 --> 0:10:47.200 specific about who these groups are and what they stand for, 0:10:47.800 --> 0:10:51.320 and that by even marching in public that this is 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:54.880 not your right to assembly, that you are seeking to 0:10:55.040 --> 0:10:58.640 terrorize and threaten groups of people should get you an 0:10:58.720 --> 0:11:05.760 automatic fucking arrectest. But this is where we have to 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:10.320 do the hard work of actually digging in and realizing 0:11:10.400 --> 0:11:16.640 who these people are. They're all cut from the same 0:11:16.760 --> 0:11:25.199 fucking cloth, you know. Honoring the ten victims of the 0:11:25.240 --> 0:11:30.000 mass shooting in Buffalo, Reverend Al Sharpton spoke this weekend 0:11:30.720 --> 0:11:35.079 and he called white supremacy and racism in America a 0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:40.840 theestering wound. And how does a wound fester? Right? It 0:11:40.880 --> 0:11:46.920 may scab over, but it's still not healed underneath, right, 0:11:47.440 --> 0:11:50.480 And why isn't it healed? Because it was never really treated. 0:11:51.120 --> 0:11:55.000 Because you see, when you have deep wounds, you have 0:11:55.080 --> 0:12:02.000 to clean them out. You have to go win. You 0:12:02.080 --> 0:12:06.800 have to get the dirt out, get the dead skin out, 0:12:06.840 --> 0:12:11.520 spray it down, disinfect it, let it air a little bit, 0:12:14.160 --> 0:12:17.880 and then depending on the depth, you either patch it 0:12:17.960 --> 0:12:24.120 up or you sew it up. And I would argue 0:12:24.280 --> 0:12:34.800 that America's wound is surgical. But we continue and have continued, 0:12:34.840 --> 0:12:37.480 not just now, because the shit that we have to 0:12:37.559 --> 0:12:42.200 understand that it's happening, whether it's happening in Florida or Texas, 0:12:42.280 --> 0:12:49.000 or Alabama or Tennessee. This shit is not new. It 0:12:49.080 --> 0:12:59.760 is never new. All Republicans, ever do is regurgitate history, 0:13:00.760 --> 0:13:04.840 use the same tactics, the same patterns, in order to 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:10.760 get the result that you didn't get initially. These people wanted. 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:15.400 Think about how fucking dumb you wanted a white supremacist 0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:20.920 ruled nation, right, But you want to bring in enslaved 0:13:21.000 --> 0:13:25.440 black people to do your work. Right? If white people 0:13:26.600 --> 0:13:28.480 are so great, then why aren't you doing your own 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:31.360 fucking work? Oh, because we're too smart to do that. 0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:35.439 Uh huh, and then what was once referred to as 0:13:35.559 --> 0:13:43.840 chattel human beings that are actually acknowledged as said human beings. 0:13:44.520 --> 0:13:48.400 And because you live in a place of fragility and fear, 0:13:49.160 --> 0:13:52.640 which is why you had to concoct the notion of 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.680 white supremacy to begin with, you need to create policies 0:13:56.679 --> 0:14:01.240 and roadblocks that disallow these people to be able to 0:14:01.400 --> 0:14:10.040 achieve so that you can have your self fulfilling prophecy. Oh, well, 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:13.280 you see, their neighborhoods are filled with crime. Well, you 0:14:13.400 --> 0:14:16.599 never created policies that would actually allow for those neighborhoods 0:14:16.760 --> 0:14:20.239 to have good schools, to offer jobs, to have sidewalks, 0:14:20.280 --> 0:14:25.880 to have trees, to have community centers. Right. Businesses were 0:14:25.920 --> 0:14:30.200 allowed not to invest into certain communities. Rite and just 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:34.560 bring you check cashing places and liquor stores. Right. The 0:14:34.600 --> 0:14:37.520 government was able to say, oh, yeah, we believe in 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:45.000 free public education, but then not invest in schools and 0:14:45.080 --> 0:14:49.280 buildings and curriculum that would allow all people to be 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.920 able to succeed. So you see, it was always a 0:14:51.960 --> 0:14:55.680 self fulfilling prophecy that black people are not worth anything. 0:14:56.360 --> 0:15:00.560 And then you can have the belief that that's why 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:04.960 we don't invest. But you see all of this, friends, 0:15:05.000 --> 0:15:08.920 I say, you have to really look not that deep 0:15:11.320 --> 0:15:14.960 because it comes from a place of fragility and fear 0:15:15.800 --> 0:15:19.360 and scarcity, This idea that there is not enough, this 0:15:19.520 --> 0:15:22.440 idea that these people are less than. Well, if we're 0:15:22.480 --> 0:15:26.720 so less then right, then why do you need to 0:15:26.800 --> 0:15:33.120 create additional barriers? If we're not going to succeed anyhow? Right, 0:15:33.160 --> 0:15:35.160 because you're not as smart and not as agile, and 0:15:35.200 --> 0:15:37.960 not as this and that as that, then why do 0:15:38.040 --> 0:15:43.720 you need to double down? Because everything is about projection 0:15:44.240 --> 0:15:50.040 when it comes to white supremacists and these fascist regimes, 0:15:52.880 --> 0:15:56.240 because if you are so great, you don't need to 0:15:56.320 --> 0:15:59.400 stand on somebody else's neck because standing ten toes down, 0:15:59.560 --> 0:16:01.560 they're not going to be able to beat you. Nohow. 0:16:05.800 --> 0:16:08.680 So I don't understand why we never just call out 0:16:08.720 --> 0:16:15.000 the bullshit, right Like, why we never just call out 0:16:15.000 --> 0:16:17.920 the lie and air it the fuck out. No, we 0:16:18.000 --> 0:16:22.880 continue to pretend that all is well, all is equal, 0:16:23.000 --> 0:16:27.400 all is fine. We were post racial, but we don't 0:16:27.600 --> 0:16:31.280 want to have the real story that we're here because 0:16:31.320 --> 0:16:36.800 of the continued, the continued white lash over the last 0:16:36.840 --> 0:16:42.240 decade plus from a black man having the audacity too 0:16:42.360 --> 0:16:48.120 lawfully achieve the highest office of the land, not once, 0:16:48.160 --> 0:17:00.680 but twice. So, folks, you know, when I look at 0:17:00.880 --> 0:17:03.520 one story after the other, and I'm going to get 0:17:03.560 --> 0:17:10.000 to Daniel Penny in a moment. And Daniel Penny is 0:17:10.640 --> 0:17:16.639 the white former marine, twenty four years old, formerly marine, 0:17:17.000 --> 0:17:22.879 finally charged with manslaughter in the death of Jordan Neely. 0:17:23.000 --> 0:17:25.040 So I'll get to that in a minute. That became 0:17:25.080 --> 0:17:29.840 a national story. It happened on a New York City subway. 0:17:30.680 --> 0:17:36.080 When I look at all of these stories, folks, I realize, 0:17:36.440 --> 0:17:42.199 and you know that Reverend Al Sharpton is right that 0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:49.119 if America really was serious about its future, about its democracy, 0:17:51.480 --> 0:17:54.119 that now would be the time that we are looking 0:17:54.160 --> 0:17:58.760 to excavate the wound, that we are looking to clear 0:17:59.600 --> 0:18:02.960 it all and air it all out so that we 0:18:03.040 --> 0:18:07.520 can actually get to a place of healing generations upon 0:18:07.680 --> 0:18:15.240 generations from now. We've clearly done some work because I 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.479 am a black queer woman that has a political podcast 0:18:20.359 --> 0:18:25.760 right that is speaking freely as of now about how 0:18:25.800 --> 0:18:29.760 we actually better this nation that would have never been 0:18:29.800 --> 0:18:37.840 heard of fifty years ago. Let alone, let's be honest, 0:18:39.359 --> 0:18:43.680 twenty years ago, thirty years ago. So I want us 0:18:43.760 --> 0:18:50.080 to understand that, you know, we have a real problem 0:18:52.440 --> 0:18:58.199 and the reason why we have these inflection points around 0:18:58.200 --> 0:19:02.639 white supremacies because you don't talk about white supremacy, because 0:19:02.680 --> 0:19:07.880 all we've been taught is the rose colored glasses version 0:19:08.040 --> 0:19:11.480 of America. Why are white people so upset these days 0:19:11.680 --> 0:19:15.280 because they are grappling with the truth. America can be 0:19:15.400 --> 0:19:21.040 both a place right that offers democracy and happiness and 0:19:21.320 --> 0:19:25.960 all of these things, and be fertile ground for white 0:19:26.000 --> 0:19:31.240 supremacy and fascism and hate. I don't think that we 0:19:31.320 --> 0:19:36.800 will ever get rid of discrimination and racism and anti 0:19:36.840 --> 0:19:43.280 semitism and homophobia and transphobia. That's not the goal because 0:19:43.280 --> 0:19:45.400 that would be an impossible one to meet. But the 0:19:45.440 --> 0:19:52.280 real goal is that you make it uncomfortable. You make 0:19:52.320 --> 0:19:58.040 it uncomfortable for these people to exist in the mainstream. 0:20:01.480 --> 0:20:11.320 You make it a monetary issue, right, you make it 0:20:11.359 --> 0:20:16.439 a quote unquote polite society issue. We were there and 0:20:16.480 --> 0:20:19.399 then the election or appointment, if we want to be 0:20:19.520 --> 0:20:23.000 real about the twenty sixteen election, the appointment of Donald 0:20:23.040 --> 0:20:30.440 Trump had progress stopped dead in its tracks, and all 0:20:30.520 --> 0:20:32.399 the work that we had done to get to a 0:20:32.440 --> 0:20:36.600 place where it was no longer appropriate could have people 0:20:36.640 --> 0:20:42.560 lose their jobs for being a racist and misogynist, a 0:20:42.640 --> 0:20:45.879 sexual harass or all of these things. Now Donald Trump 0:20:45.920 --> 0:20:51.600 made that right again. That's what he made great. In 0:20:51.680 --> 0:20:54.800 eight years, we wiped away the progress that had been 0:20:54.800 --> 0:20:58.480 made in this country to see people as people, to 0:20:58.600 --> 0:21:04.480 respect all people as human beings, to have dignity and 0:21:04.560 --> 0:21:10.560 respect inside of our institutions, to be teaching our children 0:21:10.600 --> 0:21:13.639 the truth about the founding of this nation, not so 0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:15.879 that they hate it, but that so they realize that 0:21:15.920 --> 0:21:22.000 they are part of this larger story of each generation's 0:21:22.040 --> 0:21:27.240 responsibility to make this country better. And you see, we 0:21:27.240 --> 0:21:30.080 were getting so close, which is why you are seeing 0:21:30.119 --> 0:21:33.359 this type of backlash. Because if we weren't making progress, folks, 0:21:35.520 --> 0:21:42.240 Aron DeSantis wouldn't exist, the Greg Abbott wouldn't exist, a 0:21:42.320 --> 0:21:45.080 Marshery Tale of Green wouldn't exist. A Lauren Bobert or 0:21:45.080 --> 0:21:51.960 Donald Trump I said in twenty sixteen that this was 0:21:52.760 --> 0:21:56.240 this is we are living inside of white supremacy's last stand. 0:21:56.440 --> 0:22:00.480 That does not mean that I think it's going to 0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:05.880 be over in my lifetime or yours, but it means 0:22:05.920 --> 0:22:08.920 that we are seeing the truth that more people are conscious. 0:22:08.960 --> 0:22:13.160 More people are woke than have ever been before, at 0:22:13.200 --> 0:22:22.760 any time before, and they are running fucking scared. So 0:22:22.880 --> 0:22:26.320 this is a reminder when you see story after story 0:22:27.520 --> 0:22:29.760 and you get that lump in your throat and you 0:22:29.840 --> 0:22:33.879 begin to feel overwhelmed, like we're never going to be 0:22:33.880 --> 0:22:37.639 able to stop this. Take your ego out of the work, 0:22:40.520 --> 0:22:44.520 because once you realize that we may never see the 0:22:44.640 --> 0:22:47.639 rainbow the pot of gold in our lifetimes, it doesn't 0:22:47.720 --> 0:22:52.639 stop us from trying to create a better world with 0:22:52.800 --> 0:22:54.600 what it is that we have, what it is that 0:22:54.600 --> 0:22:59.840 we've been given, the shoulders that we're standing on. It 0:23:00.080 --> 0:23:02.560 takes the stress out of it because it's like I 0:23:02.600 --> 0:23:05.600 can only do what I can do with the short 0:23:05.640 --> 0:23:10.959 time on this planet that I am granted. But it 0:23:11.040 --> 0:23:15.000 is not about us living a quote unquote care free 0:23:15.440 --> 0:23:20.280 life or living inside of a utopia of our own creation. 0:23:20.440 --> 0:23:23.520 That's what our ego wants us to drive towards. It 0:23:23.600 --> 0:23:28.320 is about the collective we humanity, and what are we 0:23:28.480 --> 0:23:37.440 each doing to create a better world. Because the reason 0:23:37.520 --> 0:23:40.439 why we are in this backlash, the reason why we 0:23:40.480 --> 0:23:45.720 are experiencing this whitelash, is because they can taste their end. 0:23:51.880 --> 0:23:57.040 There is never more fear than when people feel like 0:23:57.080 --> 0:24:02.280 they are backed up against the wall. And that is 0:24:02.280 --> 0:24:09.560 where white supremacy is. We may not see its complete end, 0:24:09.560 --> 0:24:12.639 but each and every single one of us, regardless of 0:24:12.680 --> 0:24:19.000 our hue, regardless of our identity, if we believe in humanity, 0:24:19.040 --> 0:24:26.000 equity and justice truly, then we all have work to do, 0:24:29.359 --> 0:24:33.919 continued work to do, not working ourselves to death, not 0:24:34.040 --> 0:24:39.640 working ourselves into a frenzy, into exhaustion. But every day 0:24:39.680 --> 0:24:46.600 we have work to do so that we our lives 0:24:46.600 --> 0:24:57.760 are about planting seeds. Consider ourselves right, the farmers of justice. 0:24:57.880 --> 0:25:00.280 Our work is to plant the seeds, not necessary really 0:25:00.640 --> 0:25:09.200 eat the fruit. That is it for me today, dear friends, 0:25:09.320 --> 0:25:13.200 on woke a f as always Power to the people 0:25:13.320 --> 0:25:16.840 and to all the people. Power, Get woke and stay 0:25:17.359 --> 0:25:18.040 woke as fuck.
