Speaker 1: Native Land Pod is a production of iHeartRadio in partnership

2
00:00:02,840 --> 00:00:04,120
Speaker 1: with Resent Choice Medium.

3
00:00:04,519 --> 00:00:07,760
Speaker 2: Welcome Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome.

4
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:12,880
Speaker 3: Welcome home, y'all. It is another Native Lamppod Mini Pod.

5
00:00:13,000 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 3: I'm Angela Raie. There's Tivity Cross and Andrew Gillim and

6
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 3: today we are going to ask an age old question,

7
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 3: can black people be racist? I'm gonna start with Andrew.

8
00:00:23,880 --> 00:00:24,600
Speaker 2: No, you don't.

9
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 3: He never wants to answer new question comet.

10
00:00:33,159 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 2: Only because you know how like I feel like social scientists,

11
00:00:37,840 --> 00:00:42,040
Speaker 2: black social scientists have like this construct of black people

12
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,000
Speaker 2: cannot be racist against themselves because we are not in

13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,199
Speaker 2: a position of power, and racism is part of a

14
00:00:49,280 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: structure that is intended to produce a certain outcome, largely

15
00:00:53,560 --> 00:00:56,800
Speaker 2: one that does not include us as a part of

16
00:00:57,040 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 2: the beneficiary of Whatever the outcomes are, it should be positive.

17
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:03,360
Speaker 2: So social scientists tell us one way. But I guess

18
00:01:03,400 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 2: if I were thinking about it in Layman's terms, and

19
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,080
Speaker 2: I was just thinking, are there attitudes that black folks

20
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:17,320
Speaker 2: can have that are negative toward one another based off

21
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:22,040
Speaker 2: of some things the way they dress, where they're from,

22
00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:23,720
Speaker 2: what's side of the tracks they grew up on, what

23
00:01:23,800 --> 00:01:26,120
Speaker 2: schools they went to or didn't go to. If that

24
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 2: were the framing, I would say, yes, we can, we

25
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:36,920
Speaker 2: can demonstrate classes and bigoted opinions. But I just I

26
00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 2: feel like I feel like I'm wrong for even saying

27
00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,280
Speaker 2: we could be racist, because I've read so many social

28
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 2: scientists who say it's impossible what you think? Can we

29
00:01:44,800 --> 00:01:48,560
Speaker 2: be racist? In the traditional construct? Or in the one

30
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: I just made up, which was basically the solitudes about.

31
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,680
Speaker 1: So it's a complicated answer, right, I don't think it's

32
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:58,920
Speaker 1: yes or no. In the traditional construct, No, because there

33
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:04,360
Speaker 1: is no construct in which black people went over to Europe,

34
00:02:05,200 --> 00:02:09,640
Speaker 1: kidnapped a bunch of people, raped them, beat the humanity

35
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,760
Speaker 1: out of them, and created this global infrastructure to produce

36
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:17,079
Speaker 1: their wealth and create a power structure where we would

37
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: have that kind of reach. So in the traditional sense, no,

38
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:23,919
Speaker 1: I do, however, think yes, there are instances in which

39
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: black people can be racist in which they exercise are

40
00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:32,880
Speaker 1: we I should say, we exercise our power or authority

41
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 1: over other groups I And I've seen people say things

42
00:02:41,560 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 1: can have racist attitudes, prejudiced attitudes about other groups of people,

43
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:51,520
Speaker 1: the Latino community, API community, indigenous community.

44
00:02:52,760 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 4: So the even the Arab community.

45
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,880
Speaker 1: So yes, I don't know if it's racism, but I've

46
00:02:57,919 --> 00:03:02,360
Speaker 1: certainly seen and heard black people in engage in hateful language.

47
00:03:02,400 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 1: Not all, of course, you know, but pockets of Black

48
00:03:04,919 --> 00:03:07,680
Speaker 1: people have said and done certain things.

49
00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,079
Speaker 4: I don't know. Is that racism or is that prejudice.

50
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,960
Speaker 4: I don't think it's racism, Okay.

51
00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:15,639
Speaker 3: I think that's there's the difference between bigotry and discrimination. Yeah,

52
00:03:15,720 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 3: I think that that is the point. So I want

53
00:03:17,840 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 3: to read some definitions, if that's okay.

54
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 2: Okay.

55
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: So Mariam Webster says, the meaning of racism is a

56
00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:28,800
Speaker 3: belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits

57
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:35,680
Speaker 3: and capacities, and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority

58
00:03:35,720 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: of a particular race. I fundamentally disagree with that definition.

59
00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:41,200
Speaker 2: But that's what says.

60
00:03:41,240 --> 00:03:44,080
Speaker 3: I believe that race is a fundamental determinant of human

61
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: traits and capacities, and that racial differences produce an inherent

62
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:51,880
Speaker 3: superiority of a particular race. That feels more supremacy than racism.

63
00:03:51,920 --> 00:03:54,000
Speaker 3: About Okay, This is what I want to go to

64
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,400
Speaker 3: because I think that it is helpful for us sometimes

65
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 3: to step out of an American construct. This is from

66
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 3: the Australian Human Rights Commission. Racism is the process by

67
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:12,680
Speaker 3: which systems and policies, actions and attitudes create inequitable opportunities

68
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:16,359
Speaker 3: and outcomes for people based on race. To me, that

69
00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,560
Speaker 3: is racism. It is structural, it is systemic, and that

70
00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,200
Speaker 3: means Black people cannot be racist. I think that black

71
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,520
Speaker 3: people can discriminate. I think that black people can be biggots.

72
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:31,280
Speaker 3: I think that black people can engage, can even like facilitating,

73
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,880
Speaker 3: engage in a hate crime. I don't believe that black

74
00:04:34,880 --> 00:04:37,400
Speaker 3: people can be racist. I'm rolling with Australian. Maybe that's

75
00:04:37,440 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 3: where I get my second citizenship. If this keeps going

76
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:41,760
Speaker 3: away that I think is going to.

77
00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,120
Speaker 2: Average go aheadage, No, I agree, but that's why we

78
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 2: had to deconstruct it. I think all three of us

79
00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:52,080
Speaker 2: agree that in the traditional construct of racism, which is

80
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: to do with structures, powers, systems, in individual attitudes that

81
00:04:57,200 --> 00:04:59,880
Speaker 2: influence all of it, then no, because we're not at

82
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 2: the end where we can manipulate and shift those things.

83
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,159
Speaker 3: Okay, So you know, given the fact that I think

84
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,560
Speaker 3: that we're basically agreeing by the definition from the Australian

85
00:05:08,640 --> 00:05:10,760
Speaker 3: who got their nerve to I understand tip, I saw

86
00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:12,760
Speaker 3: you telling me no not to go to Australia. But

87
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 3: at least they have come to terms with the term right,

88
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,760
Speaker 3: which is better than what we can say over here.

89
00:05:19,839 --> 00:05:22,520
Speaker 3: I think we regularly get in our social media feed

90
00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,119
Speaker 3: you racist, you race baiter when we hear those kinds

91
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,160
Speaker 3: of terms, like what does it mean to be a

92
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:33,440
Speaker 3: race baiter? How would you all respond to, you know,

93
00:05:33,680 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 3: either any one of us being called a race bator?

94
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 4: What does it mean?

95
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 3: And then what do you hear when when that's dropped

96
00:05:40,360 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 3: into your social media comments?

97
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,680
Speaker 1: I get that so often. I gotta be honest. I

98
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:49,520
Speaker 1: pay no attention. I have zero interests in white folks

99
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:53,200
Speaker 1: telling me anything about my attitude on race, race relations anything.

100
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 4: It's just not what does it mean? Tif, I don't

101
00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 4: even know what it means.

102
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 3: I'm being serious.

103
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 4: This is a genuine what does it mean to be

104
00:05:59,000 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 4: a ras?

105
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,120
Speaker 2: I think what it means is they are hearing you

106
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:10,720
Speaker 2: say something us say something largely about a inequality that

107
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 2: exists in the system that makes them uncomfortable, and they're

108
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,719
Speaker 2: basically saying, I've had my trials and tribulations. True too,

109
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 2: and I don't blame it on race. I blame it

110
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:22,840
Speaker 2: on you know, a whole other thing before I get

111
00:06:22,880 --> 00:06:26,320
Speaker 2: to race. But you all just seem to when you

112
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,159
Speaker 2: run up against your struggle, your hardship, your lack of

113
00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:33,520
Speaker 2: a promotion, that it happened because you're black.

114
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:37,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then here's so here's my question. Now, so

115
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:38,279
Speaker 4: how does that square was?

116
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:41,760
Speaker 3: Like you guys have seen the Department of Justice Office

117
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:44,560
Speaker 3: Civil Rights has said that their new approach is going

118
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:50,200
Speaker 3: to be focused on defending white Christian men. So if

119
00:06:50,440 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 3: race is not a factor, why would they need to

120
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:59,320
Speaker 3: defend and protect white Christian men? I mean it is

121
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:02,440
Speaker 3: that to me feels like if there was a race baiting.

122
00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:06,000
Speaker 3: That to me feels like the race bait because you're.

123
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,480
Speaker 2: Trying to toddler crib actually to me, Yeah, why they

124
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 2: want to put they want to put They want to

125
00:07:11,360 --> 00:07:15,960
Speaker 2: put pads on their children from the earliest possible point

126
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,600
Speaker 2: and a force field around them, so that anything that

127
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:24,440
Speaker 2: could cause them to think more critically about the role

128
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:27,560
Speaker 2: that their ancestors may have played and the world that

129
00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:31,160
Speaker 2: we get to live in today, if it offends them,

130
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:35,200
Speaker 2: if it disrupts their sensibilities or makes them to reflect

131
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 2: poorly on themselves, or the choices of their ancestors. Then

132
00:07:38,640 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 2: that is not something that we want talk to them.

133
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,239
Speaker 2: That is not something we want talk to anybody, because

134
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:45,880
Speaker 2: why should they have to carry a burden for something

135
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:47,320
Speaker 2: that they didn't do?

136
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:50,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, hm, okay.

137
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not a whisperer for white folks. I

138
00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:54,040
Speaker 2: just think a lot of times when I.

139
00:07:54,600 --> 00:07:56,240
Speaker 3: Sometimes it depends on the episode.

140
00:07:56,320 --> 00:07:58,400
Speaker 2: I'm not a whisperer, but I will tell you having

141
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:02,200
Speaker 2: run for governor and a state, folks are eleven percent

142
00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:03,840
Speaker 2: of the population, and you've got to talk to a

143
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,600
Speaker 2: lot of different people. They're what they really mean. The

144
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:12,040
Speaker 2: direct speak can come out and often does in these

145
00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 2: comfortable settings where it's just like, but why does everything

146
00:08:15,480 --> 00:08:19,960
Speaker 2: have to be about race? That's a good question. I

147
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,160
Speaker 2: have the same same goddamn question.

148
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:32,320
Speaker 4: That is a good question, Bran.

149
00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 3: Do don't we feel based on even when TIF articulated

150
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:38,120
Speaker 3: at the top of this around, like, we didn't go

151
00:08:38,200 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 3: to Europe and say, Okay, well you're gonna We're gonna

152
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:43,720
Speaker 3: come and enslave you and take you over here because

153
00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:47,080
Speaker 3: we feel like, based on whatever bootleg ass research we've done,

154
00:08:47,160 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 3: that you would be better conditioned and more suitable to

155
00:08:50,360 --> 00:08:53,360
Speaker 3: be enslaved. We didn't do that, but they did. And

156
00:08:53,400 --> 00:08:56,800
Speaker 3: so from its very foundation, which we of course argue

157
00:08:56,960 --> 00:08:59,240
Speaker 3: sixteen and we should also talk about that sixteen nineteen

158
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:03,720
Speaker 3: versus seven teen seventy six. The since sixteen nineteen, right,

159
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 3: that has been the posture that was absolutely about race

160
00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 3: killing the quote unquote savages which are indigenous people people

161
00:09:11,160 --> 00:09:14,240
Speaker 3: from Indian country. That is absolutely based on race. So

162
00:09:14,280 --> 00:09:16,640
Speaker 3: how could they argue anything different or is it just

163
00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 3: like now we're going to gaslight you in a racist history.

164
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: It's even beyond gas lighting. They have penetrated within our community.

165
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:28,120
Speaker 1: I remember watching Stephen Jackson, a former NBA player at

166
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 1: the time that Maria Taylor, the whole ESPN debacle with

167
00:09:31,360 --> 00:09:33,880
Speaker 1: Maria Taylor over. I think her name is Rachel Lindsay

168
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: and Steven Jackson.

169
00:09:36,559 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 4: No, not Rachel Lindsay, Nichols.

170
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:42,959
Speaker 1: Is it Rachel Nichols, Rachel Rachel's whoever?

171
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:46,840
Speaker 3: Rachel was Rachel Nichols, Rachel and sports expert just got.

172
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 2: Still keep you going, I'm learning.

173
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 4: I got so much sports knowledge in here. Given all states,

174
00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 4: it was crowding up.

175
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, thank you, yes, President, Right.

176
00:10:00,320 --> 00:10:05,000
Speaker 1: Stephen Jackson came out and was capin for this white woman.

177
00:10:05,520 --> 00:10:07,600
Speaker 4: And he was like, y'all know, we don't like it

178
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:10,640
Speaker 4: when it happens to us. And you know, Rachel basically

179
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:11,640
Speaker 4: should have got this job.

180
00:10:11,720 --> 00:10:16,720
Speaker 1: And I watched with such a disgust because he was equate,

181
00:10:16,880 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: like these two women were the same. He was equating

182
00:10:19,559 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: it like something happened to her. And number one, why

183
00:10:23,320 --> 00:10:26,120
Speaker 1: do you feel like your black face and your black

184
00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,800
Speaker 1: voice needs to be the one to come out here

185
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,559
Speaker 1: and defend this woman against a black woman?

186
00:10:30,800 --> 00:10:34,079
Speaker 4: The power structure was all wrong, so you up here

187
00:10:34,160 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 4: capin to protect white.

188
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:39,360
Speaker 1: Women because black women were privileged in this situation, Like

189
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:42,760
Speaker 1: not at all. I thought Steven Jackson looked like a clown.

190
00:10:42,800 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 1: And so when I hear things like that, that does

191
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,560
Speaker 1: make me want to scream, like black people can't be racist.

192
00:10:47,679 --> 00:10:50,400
Speaker 1: But when I say black, when I started the conversation

193
00:10:50,600 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: was like, well, maybe black people can be racist. I'll

194
00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: tell y'all, I was thinking about that episode of Insecure.

195
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,920
Speaker 1: I don't know if y'all watch Insecure when Lisa Ray

196
00:10:58,480 --> 00:11:01,400
Speaker 1: do you okay? So Angela, you remember when Lisa was

197
00:11:01,520 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: volunteering at the or doing her program after school program

198
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,360
Speaker 1: with the white girl and the principal was funneling only

199
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,840
Speaker 1: black students to get all the extra help, and she

200
00:11:12,040 --> 00:11:15,079
Speaker 1: was basically like, Okay, well it's a win. But her

201
00:11:15,160 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: white colleague was like, yeah, but he's intentionally leaving out

202
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,560
Speaker 1: the Latino students. And she's like, yeah, I get that,

203
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:23,320
Speaker 1: but we need these numbers, we need a win. And

204
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: she was saying that's racist, and she was like, black

205
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,640
Speaker 1: people can't be racist, and the white girl said, but

206
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:32,000
Speaker 1: you're using a position of power to deny these Latino

207
00:11:32,080 --> 00:11:33,240
Speaker 1: students access to.

208
00:11:33,200 --> 00:11:36,680
Speaker 4: This, and I ain't gonna lie to me that was right.

209
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:37,600
Speaker 4: It wasn't.

210
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,000
Speaker 1: The principal was in a position of power in this

211
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: particular situation, as was Lisa, because she controlled the budget

212
00:11:44,040 --> 00:11:47,560
Speaker 1: for the program, and she was kind She wasn't promoting it,

213
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:49,439
Speaker 1: but she was kind of okay with it the end

214
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 1: of the episode. I mean, I can give y'all spoilers

215
00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,599
Speaker 1: because it's been off air for a while, but the

216
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,120
Speaker 1: end of the episode, she realized like, you know what, No,

217
00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:58,079
Speaker 1: I need to be more inclusive and I do need

218
00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:01,160
Speaker 1: to include Latino students. We had a whole different conversation

219
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: going on right now because right now people are like,

220
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:05,800
Speaker 1: don't talk to me about nobody else but black people

221
00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: because of what happened is past election. And I have

222
00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:12,000
Speaker 1: to say I struggle with that because I have always

223
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 1: had the Fred Hampton approach, bring along everybody, and we

224
00:12:15,520 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 1: are barely fourteen percent of the population. We can't make

225
00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: it without allies. So I my harm reduction is how

226
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: can we protect our people black people? But also at

227
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,520
Speaker 1: what point are we right? Because we could take a minute,

228
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,719
Speaker 1: It's fine we pissed off in see election, But at

229
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:33,680
Speaker 1: what point do we say, okay, now we need to

230
00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,040
Speaker 1: identify allies and lock arms and work together. And I

231
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:39,280
Speaker 1: think we in the throes of figuring that out right now.

232
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:43,599
Speaker 2: So your cape and comment, Tiffany, and it could be

233
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:47,480
Speaker 2: applied to so many other examples, but it could it

234
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:53,320
Speaker 2: be argued that his position was arguing more about from

235
00:12:53,320 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 2: a perspective of power than one you know, Steve Jackson

236
00:12:57,960 --> 00:13:01,480
Speaker 2: from the Steve Jackson or give you so I have heard,

237
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 2: and this is my belief. I think racism runs the

238
00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 2: day up until it runs up against power. And oftentimes

239
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:13,839
Speaker 2: they are and extrictly be connected anyway, at least here

240
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:19,560
Speaker 2: in these Americas. But I feel like people see power

241
00:13:19,760 --> 00:13:24,199
Speaker 2: people who they see in power, they analyze what they

242
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 2: think the type of graph of that person is, and

243
00:13:27,679 --> 00:13:31,839
Speaker 2: when they are on their climb, they emulate that saying

244
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 2: practice and behavior. You've ever been with a black law

245
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: enforcement officer with a badge, boys in the hood. You

246
00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:53,560
Speaker 2: can go to Maryland, the Maryland Moseby and the prosecution. Yeah,

247
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,840
Speaker 2: Freddy Gray. Absolutely. So. All I'm saying is is that

248
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 2: these are people. You can't say they don't like black people.

249
00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 2: They may not like black people, but but but essentially

250
00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:04,680
Speaker 2: what is being carried out Wait, I am now in

251
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,120
Speaker 2: a position of power. Yeah.

252
00:14:06,160 --> 00:14:08,240
Speaker 3: Wait, Maryland didn't prosecute Freddy Gray.

253
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, I'm talking about I'm talking about the

254
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:20,200
Speaker 2: officers who were prosecuted by by yes, the majority of them.

255
00:14:20,240 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 2: I think we're black, yes, correct, of those law enforcement officers.

256
00:14:23,680 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 2: And what I'm saying is is I think that our

257
00:14:27,920 --> 00:14:33,280
Speaker 2: attitudes behaviors are much more symptomatic of an illustration of

258
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:36,120
Speaker 2: power and what happens when people ascend to levels of

259
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:41,360
Speaker 2: power than it has to do with the race construct,

260
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 2: necessarily when the offender is largely US. I think there

261
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,920
Speaker 2: are models of power that the closer you get to it,

262
00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,400
Speaker 2: and God knows if you get it, you start to

263
00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,440
Speaker 2: replicate what you believe were the conditions that had the

264
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,680
Speaker 2: last guy in power. And it's through a Eurocentric model

265
00:14:56,720 --> 00:14:59,000
Speaker 2: which all of us have been taught to to talk

266
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 2: through and to to your point around you can hate

267
00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 2: yourself like a black person can hate on other black

268
00:15:04,840 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 2: There's no doubt about that. In fact, Cartigie Woodson talks

269
00:15:08,520 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 2: about it in The Miseducation of the Negro. He says,

270
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,640
Speaker 2: and you let him to the back door, you don't

271
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,440
Speaker 2: have to send him. He will go because his education

272
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 2: makes it necessary. And that's the lasting that's the lasting

273
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,200
Speaker 2: effect of racism is that it's been so successful that

274
00:15:25,280 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: you get the people themselves to believe what you have

275
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:29,760
Speaker 2: to say about them.

276
00:15:30,320 --> 00:15:31,560
Speaker 4: It is absolutely the truth.

277
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 3: I would encourage people to read the Pedagogy of the

278
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 3: Old Press to hear more about this power structure and

279
00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:39,800
Speaker 3: what happens when we get into it or when we

280
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,080
Speaker 3: reclaim it ourselves. Of course, the biggest fear of white

281
00:15:43,080 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 3: folks in power is that one day, when we do

282
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,240
Speaker 3: have the power, that we would do to them what

283
00:15:47,320 --> 00:15:50,640
Speaker 3: they've done to us. So with on that note, the

284
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,480
Speaker 3: resounding answer is no, we cannot be racist. Yes, we

285
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 3: can be hateful, and let us work very hard to

286
00:15:56,280 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 3: overcome hate, because we know that we can't drive sessful

287
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 3: policy and hate. We can only do that with love.

288
00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 4: So on that we.

289
00:16:04,320 --> 00:16:07,520
Speaker 3: Welcome you all home into our family. Comment on this,

290
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 3: let us know if you agree with us where we

291
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,000
Speaker 3: got it wrong. Most of it was Andrew today, But

292
00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:14,880
Speaker 3: we love y'all. God bless you.

293
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,480
Speaker 2: Y'all will get to hear it. I'm sorry it's in

294
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:18,080
Speaker 2: the cut.

295
00:16:18,880 --> 00:16:19,760
Speaker 3: That's not true.

296
00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 2: That's not true.

297
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:21,480
Speaker 4: We don't do that.

298
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,880
Speaker 2: We don't do that. You're welcome home, y'all.
