Speaker 1: Good morning, keeps, and welcome to Okay f Daily with
Speaker 1: Meet Your Girl Danny L. Moody recording from the home bunker. First, folks,
Speaker 1: I want to start off on this Tuesday by mentioning
Speaker 1: something that you may have seen briefly in the news,
Speaker 1: but that I think is extraordinarily important, which is this.
Speaker 1: It has been one year. One year since the mass
Speaker 1: shooting that took place at the grocery store in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: New York. One year since ten black patrons lost their lives.
Speaker 1: One year since a white supremacist put together in an
Speaker 1: entire oh, I don't know, manifesto that kind of red
Speaker 1: light gave Fox News segment or rundown or maybe a
Speaker 1: guest of Tucker Carlson decided to leave his home and
Speaker 1: drive about two hours or so to a densely populated
Speaker 1: black area in Buffalo, New York, where they would be
Speaker 1: gathered on a Saturday morning, right nonchalantly shopping for the weekend. Grandmother's, uncles,
Speaker 1: father's mother's old people, young people, middle aged folks just
Speaker 1: trying to live their lives, and a white supremacist would
Speaker 1: find his way to that grocery store that he had
Speaker 1: done recon work over and take out ten people. Now,
Speaker 1: in my humble opinion, there have been too many incidents
Speaker 1: that we have just become numb to shrug off because
Speaker 1: they happen all the time, and mass shootings are one
Speaker 1: of those instances. But mass shootings, particularly at the hands
Speaker 1: of white supremacists, we just take as par for the course.
Speaker 1: In America, the thing that has been on the rise
Speaker 1: that the FBI wrote a report on about roughly ten
Speaker 1: years ago, has been the threat of white domestic terrorism
Speaker 1: has been the threat of white supremacy. Two our democracy
Speaker 1: has been the increase in violence right against communities of color,
Speaker 1: against Jewish folks, against Muslim people, against Asian folks, against
Speaker 1: black people, Latin X, queer people, trans people, in particular,
Speaker 1: everyone who is not presenting as white, cis, hetero, and
Speaker 1: often times male. Now, the killing in Buffalo was so
Speaker 1: horrific and stark, and it reminded me of the killing
Speaker 1: that took place at Mother Emmanuel Church in South Carolina,
Speaker 1: where nine parishioners, in the midst of prayer, in opening
Speaker 1: up their house of worship to Dylan Rufe would die
Speaker 1: because he saw fit to sit down with black people
Speaker 1: in prayer and take out their lives. Why because he's
Speaker 1: a white supremacist that was radicalized through what you know.
Speaker 1: This is the thing too, folks, is that we consistently
Speaker 1: talk about the radicalization of these you know, of these
Speaker 1: white boys, and frankly, there is no better place to
Speaker 1: get radicalized than on Fox. There's no better place to
Speaker 1: get radicalized than in the state of Florida that's being
Speaker 1: run by a complete white supremacist fascist. There's no better
Speaker 1: place to be radicalized than in Texas, right, that is
Speaker 1: being run by a white supremacist fascist. Greg Abbott, you
Speaker 1: don't need to go to the dark Web. You don't
Speaker 1: need to go to the dark corners of the Internet
Speaker 1: in order to find groups that are ideologically aligned with
Speaker 1: white supremacy. They are organizing and are allowed to stand
Speaker 1: right out in the open. So, folks, on the year anniversary,
Speaker 1: right of this mass shooting that took place in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: what happened over the weekend, Well, it wasn't just Mother's
Speaker 1: Day weekend. It also wasn't just my father's birthday. And
Speaker 1: you know, caught up in the celebrations of you know,
Speaker 1: another year granted, and you know, being grateful for the
Speaker 1: kind of mother that I have but you know, as
Speaker 1: I tell you all the time, I try my very
Speaker 1: best not to watch the news on the weekends. I
Speaker 1: don't even really watch the news. If I'm going to
Speaker 1: be on the news, I read articles, right, because there
Speaker 1: is a purposeful, emotional mental cleansing that takes place for
Speaker 1: me as soon as I turn off the microphone on
Speaker 1: any given day. It's why I tell you all to
Speaker 1: do the very same. I have, you know, rituals that
Speaker 1: I kind of moved through as a way to cleanse
Speaker 1: myself of what I've been steeped in. It's the way
Speaker 1: that I keep myself emotionally and energetically cleansed right so
Speaker 1: that I'm no longer attaching myself to the hatred, that
Speaker 1: I'm no longer attaching myself to de vitriol that's being
Speaker 1: put in my face on a regular basis, and that
Speaker 1: I'm trying to analyze for all of you. But to
Speaker 1: my dismay, I accidentally turned on the news on Sunday evening.
Speaker 1: And what do I see on Sunday evening? I see video.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it was live, because I don't
Speaker 1: know if this march that took place by the quote
Speaker 1: unquote Patriot Front in Washington, DC. Whether or not it
Speaker 1: happened on Saturday or Sunday, I can't recall at this time.
Speaker 1: But what I can't tell you is that these white
Speaker 1: men who had face coverings on, looking like they had
Speaker 1: pulled white athletic socks over their faces, and they had
Speaker 1: sunglasses on, you know, because they're so proud to be
Speaker 1: white supremacts, they hide their faces. But traditionally, why do
Speaker 1: why do white supremacts? Why do KKK members and Nazis
Speaker 1: and what and so forth. Well, the Nazis didn't hide
Speaker 1: their faces, right because they owned and operated everything, so
Speaker 1: they were proud to be doing what they were doing.
Speaker 1: But in this country is more often than not that
Speaker 1: KKK and white supremact organizations hide their faces. And why
Speaker 1: is that? Oh, because they know that in their hearts,
Speaker 1: if they actually have them, or wherever in the place
Speaker 1: of where their heart is, they know that mainstream does
Speaker 1: not accept the language and the ideology of wiping out
Speaker 1: entire religions, races, orientations, and so forth. That these people
Speaker 1: oftentimes find themselves in law enforcement positions as judges, doctors, dentists,
Speaker 1: right in positions where they are actually supposed to be
Speaker 1: a credible, active member of society, and so they cover
Speaker 1: their faces so that they can profess their hatred right
Speaker 1: in broad daylight, but by being able to then keep
Speaker 1: their jobs. And so for me, you know, my call
Speaker 1: out to white supremaist motherfuckers that I'm sure don't listen
Speaker 1: to that show is take off your hood covering bro
Speaker 1: right punk, out your chest right, show the people who
Speaker 1: you are, because you're so bold and you're so bad
Speaker 1: right that you all need to be in locked formation
Speaker 1: because one on one you're nothing more than a bunch
Speaker 1: of in cell punks. Because I made the joke on
Speaker 1: my other show on The New Abnormal that you know,
Speaker 1: these folks have to be part of the in cell community.
Speaker 1: You know, the ones that are afraid of women because
Speaker 1: they've never had a date and never been in These
Speaker 1: are the hetero ones, right, because the closeted ones, you know,
Speaker 1: they just hate and bash gay folks and trans folks.
Speaker 1: But nonetheless you know that they need to be in
Speaker 1: mass right because they are pathetic human beings as individuals.
Speaker 1: But when I turned on the news and I see
Speaker 1: this on the year anniversary right of marking of ten
Speaker 1: black people being murdered for doing nothing other than being
Speaker 1: in the right place at the wrong time. Then I
Speaker 1: hear that our President Joe Biden was at Howard University
Speaker 1: over that same weekend last weekend, giving a commencement speech,
Speaker 1: and in that commencement speech, he said that white supremacy
Speaker 1: is the greatest threat facing our country. Ding ding ding
Speaker 1: ding ding. Yeah, the FBI found that out over a
Speaker 1: decade ago, but that report was hidden, right, It wasn't investigated,
Speaker 1: it wasn't excavated. Why because Republicans at that time said, oh,
Speaker 1: you're going to harm our base. Here's the thing, a
Speaker 1: really valid question, which is why don't we have domestic
Speaker 1: terrorism laws on the books. Why do we try and
Speaker 1: contort our laws in order to be able to charge
Speaker 1: these people in the first place. Why, as a hate group,
Speaker 1: which is what the Patriot Front is, are you allowed
Speaker 1: to march any good goddamn place and not be arrested. Right? So,
Speaker 1: here's the thing, because many of those same people, right,
Speaker 1: are the ones that are creating the laws in the
Speaker 1: first place, are the ones that are elected officials and
Speaker 1: that are sitting in office. And so we don't have
Speaker 1: domestic terrorism laws because the ones that are writing the
Speaker 1: laws are oftentimes affiliated with domestic terrorism. That's why Donald
Speaker 1: Trump told the Proud Boys and the Oathkeepers to stand
Speaker 1: back and stand by. That's why Roger Stone had his
Speaker 1: own private security with the Proud Boys. And on the
Speaker 1: day of the Stop the Steal that many were detailed
Speaker 1: of the Proud Boys and the Oathkeepers to quote unquote protect.
Speaker 1: Those are Republican members that were standing up on that
Speaker 1: stage directing people to sack our democracy and trash our
Speaker 1: Capitol building. So until we actually create laws that are
Speaker 1: specific about who these groups are and what they stand for,
Speaker 1: and that by even marching in public that this is
Speaker 1: not your right to assembly, that you are seeking to
Speaker 1: terrorize and threaten groups of people should get you an
Speaker 1: automatic fucking arrectest. But this is where we have to
Speaker 1: do the hard work of actually digging in and realizing
Speaker 1: who these people are. They're all cut from the same
Speaker 1: fucking cloth, you know. Honoring the ten victims of the
Speaker 1: mass shooting in Buffalo, Reverend Al Sharpton spoke this weekend
Speaker 1: and he called white supremacy and racism in America a
Speaker 1: theestering wound. And how does a wound fester? Right? It
Speaker 1: may scab over, but it's still not healed underneath, right,
Speaker 1: And why isn't it healed? Because it was never really treated.
Speaker 1: Because you see, when you have deep wounds, you have
Speaker 1: to clean them out. You have to go win. You
Speaker 1: have to get the dirt out, get the dead skin out,
Speaker 1: spray it down, disinfect it, let it air a little bit,
Speaker 1: and then depending on the depth, you either patch it
Speaker 1: up or you sew it up. And I would argue
Speaker 1: that America's wound is surgical. But we continue and have continued,
Speaker 1: not just now, because the shit that we have to
Speaker 1: understand that it's happening, whether it's happening in Florida or Texas,
Speaker 1: or Alabama or Tennessee. This shit is not new. It
Speaker 1: is never new. All Republicans, ever do is regurgitate history,
Speaker 1: use the same tactics, the same patterns, in order to
Speaker 1: get the result that you didn't get initially. These people wanted.
Speaker 1: Think about how fucking dumb you wanted a white supremacist
Speaker 1: ruled nation, right, But you want to bring in enslaved
Speaker 1: black people to do your work. Right? If white people
Speaker 1: are so great, then why aren't you doing your own
Speaker 1: fucking work? Oh, because we're too smart to do that.
Speaker 1: Uh huh, and then what was once referred to as
Speaker 1: chattel human beings that are actually acknowledged as said human beings.
Speaker 1: And because you live in a place of fragility and fear,
Speaker 1: which is why you had to concoct the notion of
Speaker 1: white supremacy to begin with, you need to create policies
Speaker 1: and roadblocks that disallow these people to be able to
Speaker 1: achieve so that you can have your self fulfilling prophecy. Oh, well,
Speaker 1: you see, their neighborhoods are filled with crime. Well, you
Speaker 1: never created policies that would actually allow for those neighborhoods
Speaker 1: to have good schools, to offer jobs, to have sidewalks,
Speaker 1: to have trees, to have community centers. Right. Businesses were
Speaker 1: allowed not to invest into certain communities. Rite and just
Speaker 1: bring you check cashing places and liquor stores. Right. The
Speaker 1: government was able to say, oh, yeah, we believe in
Speaker 1: free public education, but then not invest in schools and
Speaker 1: buildings and curriculum that would allow all people to be
Speaker 1: able to succeed. So you see, it was always a
Speaker 1: self fulfilling prophecy that black people are not worth anything.
Speaker 1: And then you can have the belief that that's why
Speaker 1: we don't invest. But you see all of this, friends,
Speaker 1: I say, you have to really look not that deep
Speaker 1: because it comes from a place of fragility and fear
Speaker 1: and scarcity, This idea that there is not enough, this
Speaker 1: idea that these people are less than. Well, if we're
Speaker 1: so less then right, then why do you need to
Speaker 1: create additional barriers? If we're not going to succeed anyhow? Right,
Speaker 1: because you're not as smart and not as agile, and
Speaker 1: not as this and that as that, then why do
Speaker 1: you need to double down? Because everything is about projection
Speaker 1: when it comes to white supremacists and these fascist regimes,
Speaker 1: because if you are so great, you don't need to
Speaker 1: stand on somebody else's neck because standing ten toes down,
Speaker 1: they're not going to be able to beat you. Nohow.
Speaker 1: So I don't understand why we never just call out
Speaker 1: the bullshit, right Like, why we never just call out
Speaker 1: the lie and air it the fuck out. No, we
Speaker 1: continue to pretend that all is well, all is equal,
Speaker 1: all is fine. We were post racial, but we don't
Speaker 1: want to have the real story that we're here because
Speaker 1: of the continued, the continued white lash over the last
Speaker 1: decade plus from a black man having the audacity too
Speaker 1: lawfully achieve the highest office of the land, not once,
Speaker 1: but twice. So, folks, you know, when I look at
Speaker 1: one story after the other, and I'm going to get
Speaker 1: to Daniel Penny in a moment. And Daniel Penny is
Speaker 1: the white former marine, twenty four years old, formerly marine,
Speaker 1: finally charged with manslaughter in the death of Jordan Neely.
Speaker 1: So I'll get to that in a minute. That became
Speaker 1: a national story. It happened on a New York City subway.
Speaker 1: When I look at all of these stories, folks, I realize,
Speaker 1: and you know that Reverend Al Sharpton is right that
Speaker 1: if America really was serious about its future, about its democracy,
Speaker 1: that now would be the time that we are looking
Speaker 1: to excavate the wound, that we are looking to clear
Speaker 1: it all and air it all out so that we
Speaker 1: can actually get to a place of healing generations upon
Speaker 1: generations from now. We've clearly done some work because I
Speaker 1: am a black queer woman that has a political podcast
Speaker 1: right that is speaking freely as of now about how
Speaker 1: we actually better this nation that would have never been
Speaker 1: heard of fifty years ago. Let alone, let's be honest,
Speaker 1: twenty years ago, thirty years ago. So I want us
Speaker 1: to understand that, you know, we have a real problem
Speaker 1: and the reason why we have these inflection points around
Speaker 1: white supremacies because you don't talk about white supremacy, because
Speaker 1: all we've been taught is the rose colored glasses version
Speaker 1: of America. Why are white people so upset these days
Speaker 1: because they are grappling with the truth. America can be
Speaker 1: both a place right that offers democracy and happiness and
Speaker 1: all of these things, and be fertile ground for white
Speaker 1: supremacy and fascism and hate. I don't think that we
Speaker 1: will ever get rid of discrimination and racism and anti
Speaker 1: semitism and homophobia and transphobia. That's not the goal because
Speaker 1: that would be an impossible one to meet. But the
Speaker 1: real goal is that you make it uncomfortable. You make
Speaker 1: it uncomfortable for these people to exist in the mainstream.
Speaker 1: You make it a monetary issue, right, you make it
Speaker 1: a quote unquote polite society issue. We were there and
Speaker 1: then the election or appointment, if we want to be
Speaker 1: real about the twenty sixteen election, the appointment of Donald
Speaker 1: Trump had progress stopped dead in its tracks, and all
Speaker 1: the work that we had done to get to a
Speaker 1: place where it was no longer appropriate could have people
Speaker 1: lose their jobs for being a racist and misogynist, a
Speaker 1: sexual harass or all of these things. Now Donald Trump
Speaker 1: made that right again. That's what he made great. In
Speaker 1: eight years, we wiped away the progress that had been
Speaker 1: made in this country to see people as people, to
Speaker 1: respect all people as human beings, to have dignity and
Speaker 1: respect inside of our institutions, to be teaching our children
Speaker 1: the truth about the founding of this nation, not so
Speaker 1: that they hate it, but that so they realize that
Speaker 1: they are part of this larger story of each generation's
Speaker 1: responsibility to make this country better. And you see, we
Speaker 1: were getting so close, which is why you are seeing
Speaker 1: this type of backlash. Because if we weren't making progress, folks,
Speaker 1: Aron DeSantis wouldn't exist, the Greg Abbott wouldn't exist, a
Speaker 1: Marshery Tale of Green wouldn't exist. A Lauren Bobert or
Speaker 1: Donald Trump I said in twenty sixteen that this was
Speaker 1: this is we are living inside of white supremacy's last stand.
Speaker 1: That does not mean that I think it's going to
Speaker 1: be over in my lifetime or yours, but it means
Speaker 1: that we are seeing the truth that more people are conscious.
Speaker 1: More people are woke than have ever been before, at
Speaker 1: any time before, and they are running fucking scared. So
Speaker 1: this is a reminder when you see story after story
Speaker 1: and you get that lump in your throat and you
Speaker 1: begin to feel overwhelmed, like we're never going to be
Speaker 1: able to stop this. Take your ego out of the work,
Speaker 1: because once you realize that we may never see the
Speaker 1: rainbow the pot of gold in our lifetimes, it doesn't
Speaker 1: stop us from trying to create a better world with
Speaker 1: what it is that we have, what it is that
Speaker 1: we've been given, the shoulders that we're standing on. It
Speaker 1: takes the stress out of it because it's like I
Speaker 1: can only do what I can do with the short
Speaker 1: time on this planet that I am granted. But it
Speaker 1: is not about us living a quote unquote care free
Speaker 1: life or living inside of a utopia of our own creation.
Speaker 1: That's what our ego wants us to drive towards. It
Speaker 1: is about the collective we humanity, and what are we
Speaker 1: each doing to create a better world. Because the reason
Speaker 1: why we are in this backlash, the reason why we
Speaker 1: are experiencing this whitelash, is because they can taste their end.
Speaker 1: There is never more fear than when people feel like
Speaker 1: they are backed up against the wall. And that is
Speaker 1: where white supremacy is. We may not see its complete end,
Speaker 1: but each and every single one of us, regardless of
Speaker 1: our hue, regardless of our identity, if we believe in humanity,
Speaker 1: equity and justice truly, then we all have work to do,
Speaker 1: continued work to do, not working ourselves to death, not
Speaker 1: working ourselves into a frenzy, into exhaustion. But every day
Speaker 1: we have work to do so that we our lives
Speaker 1: are about planting seeds. Consider ourselves right, the farmers of justice.
Speaker 1: Our work is to plant the seeds, not necessary really
Speaker 1: eat the fruit. That is it for me today, dear friends,
Speaker 1: on woke a f as always Power to the people
Speaker 1: and to all the people. Power, Get woke and stay
Speaker 1: woke as fuck.
