We 0:00:04.680 --> 0:00:07.120 are the breakfast club. We got a special guest in 0:00:07.120 --> 0:00:10.879 the building. Can come. Consciousness is back, doctor Umar Johnson. 0:00:11.000 --> 0:00:14.000 Welcome piece and Pan Africanism. Brothers, glad to be back, 0:00:14.200 --> 0:00:16.720 Glad to have you. Man. First of all, you look slim, brother, 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:19.120 You don't You don't slim down a little bit? Oh yes, Uh, 0:00:19.760 --> 0:00:22.520 I think I have. Um. I didn't do nothing intentional, 0:00:22.600 --> 0:00:24.639 So let me not sit here and lie. Okay, I 0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:27.720 guess it's just you know, getting older and wise, I hope. 0:00:27.920 --> 0:00:30.360 And first things first, man, congrats on the Frederick Douglas 0:00:30.360 --> 0:00:32.920 Marcus Golf Academy. I've been paying attention. I see that 0:00:32.960 --> 0:00:36.080 you got the building. Yes, so you've been doing renovations 0:00:36.080 --> 0:00:38.760 on the buildings, the HVAC in all kind of other stuff. 0:00:38.760 --> 0:00:42.879 We're just about done. Uh. Electric is awaiting a permit. 0:00:43.400 --> 0:00:46.400 H VAC is awaiting controls. They're actually at the school 0:00:46.479 --> 0:00:49.680 right now. Plumbing is just about done. They got one 0:00:49.720 --> 0:00:53.960 more piece. Fire alarm is done. They got to check 0:00:54.040 --> 0:00:57.760 one more piece to that. The monitoring system is done. 0:00:57.920 --> 0:00:59.760 I'm hoping by the end of the calendar. Yeah, we 0:00:59.760 --> 0:01:01.800 can at our inspection and have a grand open and 0:01:01.800 --> 0:01:04.360 in February hopefully, and you you got to get accreditation 0:01:04.440 --> 0:01:08.360 to nah, Well, your accreditation comes from the state, so 0:01:08.400 --> 0:01:10.560 it's the state that gives you the license to operate. 0:01:10.920 --> 0:01:13.600 If you want accreditation beyond that, you can seek out 0:01:13.680 --> 0:01:17.840 professional accreditation bureaus. But that's not legally required. Man, why 0:01:17.880 --> 0:01:20.440 don't you talk about that more, doctor Umar, especially being 0:01:20.440 --> 0:01:22.279 that they tried to clown you for so long about 0:01:22.319 --> 0:01:28.000 you know, not out because if you know that your 0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:31.959 mission is genuine, it's no need to respond to the 0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.560 negativity because that some day the fruit of your works 0:01:35.560 --> 0:01:40.440 will manifest. You follow my fingers while argue when you 0:01:40.520 --> 0:01:42.880 know one day they're going to see the school. Talk 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:45.360 about the process because it was a long process. Was 0:01:45.400 --> 0:01:49.120 a very long process, Hurley. Talk about that a little 0:01:49.160 --> 0:01:50.520 bit and what you had to get through and also 0:01:50.840 --> 0:01:54.560 getting funding. Yes, so we um took our first donation 0:01:54.600 --> 0:01:57.680 in Saint Louis twenty fourteen. We heard about the Saint 0:01:57.720 --> 0:02:01.040 Paul's College, which was an HPC you closed. Ever, they 0:02:01.040 --> 0:02:03.120 wanted two millions, so we tried to raise it as 0:02:03.160 --> 0:02:05.160 quickly as we can. That was a bit ambitious. We 0:02:05.160 --> 0:02:09.160 didn't succeed. It was sold to an Asian company unfortunately, 0:02:09.200 --> 0:02:11.800 and HBCU sold to another race. I think it's a 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.480 great disappointment for us as a people. So then we 0:02:14.480 --> 0:02:16.639 just started looking for a day school. So I went 0:02:16.680 --> 0:02:23.240 to Chicago, Detroit, Florida, Ohio, all over the country. I 0:02:23.320 --> 0:02:25.440 was just flying looking for a school. And then in 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.000 twenty seventeen, I was on loop net, which was my 0:02:28.080 --> 0:02:30.640 main source of new property, and I saw this campus 0:02:30.639 --> 0:02:33.919 in Wilmington, Delaware that I had heard about but never 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:35.520 had a chance to see. So I'm on my way 0:02:35.560 --> 0:02:39.680 to Nat Turner celebration August twenty, twenty seventeen the Great 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:42.799 North American Eclipse. I stopped, I saw the campus. I said, 0:02:42.840 --> 0:02:45.680 this looks pretty nice. When I got back from that Turner, 0:02:45.720 --> 0:02:47.240 I had to go to Cuba first to get my 0:02:47.280 --> 0:02:51.040 EFI initiation. I practiced Europe of Spirituality. Came back from 0:02:51.080 --> 0:02:53.480 Cuba and I got a chance to go into the 0:02:53.480 --> 0:02:55.600 school and I saw it. I said, we want this school, 0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:58.160 but they wanted two million dollars. We couldn't afford that. 0:02:58.200 --> 0:03:00.560 We only had a half of a million. So I 0:03:00.680 --> 0:03:05.360 negotiated with them from August of seventeen until February of 0:03:05.520 --> 0:03:08.520 nineteen and they finally decided to sell us the building 0:03:08.560 --> 0:03:11.120 for the money that we had. So now we got 0:03:11.160 --> 0:03:13.360 the building. So what's been going on in the past 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:17.040 three and a half years? Getting contractors who you can 0:03:17.080 --> 0:03:20.880 trust to help you with it? And contractors were not 0:03:20.960 --> 0:03:23.400 kind to us. Man, They ripped us off, they scammed us, 0:03:23.440 --> 0:03:26.200 they stole out the building. The con is real. The 0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.359 con and contractor. I've been dealing with it for the 0:03:28.440 --> 0:03:31.520 last it's very real, brothers. And then finally we had 0:03:31.560 --> 0:03:35.080 our second FDMG festival this past September the tenth, and 0:03:35.120 --> 0:03:36.800 I said, you know what, we may have to step 0:03:36.800 --> 0:03:39.840 outside the African American community to get this done because 0:03:39.880 --> 0:03:41.920 we've been waiting three years for our people to help us, 0:03:41.960 --> 0:03:44.200 not for free. We could afford to pay them, but 0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:47.360 they wasn't being honest with us and straight up. And 0:03:47.400 --> 0:03:49.480 of course we know that's not all of our contractors. 0:03:49.480 --> 0:03:51.240 We want to be clear. We've met a lot of 0:03:51.240 --> 0:03:54.240 our decent contractors along the way, but the ones who 0:03:54.280 --> 0:03:56.680 we had to use because they was licensed and certified 0:03:56.720 --> 0:03:58.840 where we are, they didn't really do us right. So 0:03:58.840 --> 0:04:01.760 I said, let's go with some wife folks, and guess what. 0:04:02.280 --> 0:04:06.200 Here we are ninety days later, and the white contractors 0:04:06.280 --> 0:04:09.120 have gotten us to the finish line in three months 0:04:10.000 --> 0:04:13.960 versus three years waiting on our own people. It says 0:04:14.040 --> 0:04:16.360 that we need to Frederick Douglas and Marcus Garvie Academy. 0:04:16.720 --> 0:04:19.280 It says that black boys have to be raised and 0:04:19.320 --> 0:04:22.039 trained in how to be black men and how to 0:04:22.080 --> 0:04:25.039 be committed to the black community, because I think as 0:04:25.040 --> 0:04:29.360 a community we've lost our integrity, our honor, our loyalty, 0:04:29.680 --> 0:04:32.080 and our commitment. If I was who I am for 0:04:32.160 --> 0:04:35.800 Black people, for the Mexican American community, that school would 0:04:35.800 --> 0:04:37.960 have been done three years ago. If I was who 0:04:38.000 --> 0:04:41.080 I am to the Asian community, the Anglo Saxon community, 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:44.240 the Native American community, that school gets done the first 0:04:44.279 --> 0:04:46.680 year we purchased it. We're not sitting here three and 0:04:46.680 --> 0:04:49.719 a half years after purchase, just now getting to the 0:04:49.760 --> 0:04:52.600 finish line and needing white people to get us there. 0:04:52.720 --> 0:04:55.239 What is the curriculum going to look like? We our 0:04:55.400 --> 0:04:58.920 in addition to your required math, science, language, and social studies, 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:02.560 we're going to have financial, economic science, critical how to 0:05:02.640 --> 0:05:07.640 do your own taxes, real estate, international investments, business planning. Because, 0:05:07.839 --> 0:05:11.920 as we've talked about before, going to college is not 0:05:12.080 --> 0:05:15.839 automatically a recipe for success, but it is automatically a 0:05:15.880 --> 0:05:18.480 recipe for debt. So for those young men who want 0:05:18.480 --> 0:05:19.919 to go to college, we want to give them that 0:05:19.960 --> 0:05:22.160 ability to do that, but we also want to give 0:05:22.160 --> 0:05:26.880 them other means of making an economic impact and survival 0:05:27.279 --> 0:05:30.680 plan for their lives. So we got financial and economic, 0:05:30.760 --> 0:05:33.800 We have dietary and nutritional how to eat the live 0:05:33.880 --> 0:05:36.760 a lot of your doctor Saby type of information, Doctor 0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:39.360 Layla Africa. Rest in peace to both of them. That 0:05:39.440 --> 0:05:42.680 will be in their agricultural and agronomical We're going to 0:05:42.680 --> 0:05:44.920 teach them how to grow. They have to grow their 0:05:44.920 --> 0:05:47.200 own food in order to graduate. We have to become 0:05:47.600 --> 0:05:52.440 agriculturally self sufficient. In addition to that, spiritual and astrological science, 0:05:52.680 --> 0:05:55.359 I want our young men to understand how African people 0:05:55.440 --> 0:06:02.040 related to God before Abraham, before Jesus, for Muhammed. Those religions, 0:06:02.080 --> 0:06:04.960 and all due respect to all of them, they're only 0:06:05.600 --> 0:06:08.760 Christianity is two thousand years old, Islam is fifteen hundred 0:06:08.880 --> 0:06:12.440 years old, Judaism is about four or five thousand years old, 0:06:12.560 --> 0:06:15.760 but traditional African culture and spirituality is more than a 0:06:15.880 --> 0:06:18.880 quarter of a million years old. We dealt with God 0:06:18.960 --> 0:06:22.800 fall longer from a non Abrahamic tradition than we have 0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.839 from an Abrahamic tradition. Nothing's wrong with those, but I 0:06:25.880 --> 0:06:29.520 want our children to understand how we deal with the ancestors, 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:31.480 how we deal with the earth in the land, and 0:06:31.520 --> 0:06:33.240 so we're going to have that. There will also be 0:06:33.320 --> 0:06:35.880 science of the black family, So that includes science of 0:06:35.920 --> 0:06:38.320 a black man, a black woman, the black child, how 0:06:38.320 --> 0:06:40.240 to be a gentleman, how to take care of your woman, 0:06:40.279 --> 0:06:42.440 how to raise your children, how to be a leader 0:06:42.440 --> 0:06:45.040 in the community. And of course there will be military 0:06:45.640 --> 0:06:47.760 and political science. If I didn't mention that, we do 0:06:47.760 --> 0:06:50.800 want to teach them survival skills, traditional African martial arts, 0:06:50.800 --> 0:06:53.880 both with and without weapons. Understanding the world that we 0:06:53.920 --> 0:06:56.520 live in. Why is Africa the richest continent but in 0:06:56.520 --> 0:06:59.760 the poorest condition while it was Barack Obama made presidents 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:03.960 and it had nothing to do with America reinventing herself. Okay, 0:07:03.960 --> 0:07:07.839 Why has multiculturalism been used as a weapon against African people? 0:07:08.040 --> 0:07:09.960 So we want to make sure that we are graduating 0:07:10.040 --> 0:07:13.120 well rounded young men who can go anywhere in the 0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:17.160 world and build independent communities. We are a nation building academy. 0:07:17.360 --> 0:07:20.880 We are not college prep. We are not military prep, 0:07:21.080 --> 0:07:23.720 we are not trade school prep. They will be ready 0:07:23.720 --> 0:07:26.360 for any of those. But above all that, we are 0:07:26.440 --> 0:07:29.080 nation building. Can you answer that President Obama question. I'd 0:07:29.120 --> 0:07:30.920 like to know the answer today. Oh, Barack Obama was 0:07:30.920 --> 0:07:33.920 made president for two reasons. Domestically, he was made president 0:07:33.960 --> 0:07:39.400 to force alternative sexual lifestyles onto black children, sexual confusion 0:07:39.720 --> 0:07:43.200 as a means of population control. And internationally, he was 0:07:43.280 --> 0:07:46.480 made president to go to Africa and to force africam 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:49.640 there to build military basis all throughout the continent. And 0:07:49.680 --> 0:07:52.240 guess what, There's been about six schools in Africa over 0:07:52.280 --> 0:07:54.760 the past year, and every single coup was in a 0:07:54.840 --> 0:07:59.080 country with a United States military base. No coincidence. America 0:07:59.160 --> 0:08:02.280 only practices democracy or the person who wins the election 0:08:02.520 --> 0:08:05.280 has an agenda that is in the interests of America. 0:08:05.480 --> 0:08:08.080 Charlotte Man, you can be elected president, but if your 0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:10.320 agenda is not in the interest of the white power structure, 0:08:10.520 --> 0:08:15.120 you will be overthrown. Democracy only lasts as long as 0:08:15.160 --> 0:08:18.360 the person winning the election is favorable to the agenda 0:08:18.360 --> 0:08:19.840 of the powershop. I think you see that all the time, 0:08:19.920 --> 0:08:22.040 especially with the GOP. Saw that in Georgia, right, they 0:08:22.080 --> 0:08:25.400 didn't care if herschel Walker was a terrible candidate. They 0:08:25.440 --> 0:08:26.800 knew that if he got into the Senate, he was 0:08:26.840 --> 0:08:28.960 gonna do the bidding of the GOP who won the 0:08:29.040 --> 0:08:32.520 run off. Warknock one, Okay, here's what I'm gonna say 0:08:32.559 --> 0:08:36.520 to that, and my maternal ancestry is from Georgia. It 0:08:36.559 --> 0:08:39.800 didn't make a difference if Warnock one, It didn't make 0:08:39.840 --> 0:08:43.199 a difference if hoshel Walker won, because both of them 0:08:43.320 --> 0:08:47.840 are candidates who are aligned with two white, racist political parties. 0:08:48.080 --> 0:08:51.120 The Democratic Party don't care about black people. The Republican 0:08:51.160 --> 0:08:54.240 Party don't care about black people. Raphael Warnock hasn't done 0:08:54.280 --> 0:08:56.480 nothing his first term. He's not gonna do nothing his 0:08:56.559 --> 0:08:59.160 second term. And if herschel Walker would have won, it 0:08:59.160 --> 0:09:01.240 would have been the same. One of the things we 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:02.920 have to do as black people. We have to get 0:09:02.960 --> 0:09:07.040 off this Republican democratic political dichotomy because it does not 0:09:07.160 --> 0:09:10.080 serve us and it wasn't created for our interests. That 0:09:10.280 --> 0:09:13.800 is a white intellectual conversation. Whether you're a Republican or 0:09:13.800 --> 0:09:18.160 a Democrat, our dichotomy is not democracy or republicanism. Our 0:09:18.240 --> 0:09:22.440 dichotomy is freedom or oppression. That's the black dichotomy. Who 0:09:22.440 --> 0:09:24.800 belongs to the Freedom Party, who belongs to the House 0:09:24.880 --> 0:09:27.840 Negro Party? That's it. Look at the Congressional Black Caucus, 0:09:28.160 --> 0:09:31.360 fifty nine African Americans, and more than half of them 0:09:31.400 --> 0:09:33.960 are old enough to be your grandparents. Why do we 0:09:34.000 --> 0:09:37.400 have people in the CBC in their seventies, in their eighties, 0:09:37.880 --> 0:09:40.760 in their sixties. Don't get me wrong. In African culture, 0:09:40.800 --> 0:09:43.520 we believe an old man for counsel and a young 0:09:43.559 --> 0:09:46.480 man for war. But look who we got in DC 0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:50.520 fighting for justice for African people, the senior citizens, and 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.040 we wonder why nothing's getting done because they don't want 0:09:53.040 --> 0:09:55.240 to pass the baton. And this is an issue that 0:09:55.280 --> 0:09:57.320 we have had in the Black community for a long time, 0:09:57.600 --> 0:10:01.640 not just Congressional Black Caucus, black church, black community organization, 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.200 where we don't want to pass the baton to the 0:10:04.200 --> 0:10:07.240 next generation. And why not. Black men and women are 0:10:07.280 --> 0:10:11.079 seldom given an opportunity to experience real power. So when 0:10:11.120 --> 0:10:13.400 we get a taste of real power, we don't like 0:10:13.480 --> 0:10:15.600 to give it up because we're not used to it. 0:10:15.760 --> 0:10:18.160 That's why you got an hundred year old pastors running 0:10:18.240 --> 0:10:20.360 churches when you got twenty and thirty year old young 0:10:20.400 --> 0:10:23.040 pastors in the same congregation who would never get a 0:10:23.120 --> 0:10:25.080 chance to give a sermon. That's why you see so 0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:28.520 many old leaders in black organizations because they don't want 0:10:28.520 --> 0:10:30.880 to pass the baton, because the old black man's ego 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:33.679 is bigger and stronger than a young black man's ego. No, 0:10:33.800 --> 0:10:35.280 I want to go back to something you said about Obama. 0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:37.560 You know Obama was opposed the same sex marriage and 0:10:38.559 --> 0:10:40.920 oh when he ran, Yeah, but the power structure told him, 0:10:40.920 --> 0:10:43.400 you're going to support this when you get in there. 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:46.840 That was the second term. Yes, ye, yes, because the 0:10:46.880 --> 0:10:49.280 agenda had not yet been set. But when the agenda 0:10:49.360 --> 0:10:51.560 was set, he had to carry it out because Obama 0:10:51.559 --> 0:10:53.800 belonged to a white, racist political party. Let me ask 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:57.320 you question the students that want to attend your school. Yes, sir, 0:10:58.880 --> 0:11:01.920 thank you. Is there anything? What are the qualifications if 0:11:01.920 --> 0:11:08.079 there are any? Uh? Be black? There's really no qualifications. 0:11:09.360 --> 0:11:12.840 If you're gayest trader, doesn't matter if you're mixed or anything. Well, 0:11:12.960 --> 0:11:16.160 a mixed African. For those of us who are revolution 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:20.120 every Pan African nationalists garviites, a mixed African is considered 0:11:20.120 --> 0:11:23.559 an African. I do not discriminate between a black man 0:11:23.679 --> 0:11:25.920 with a white mother, or a black man with with 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:29.240 a black mother, or a black woman with a white father, 0:11:29.360 --> 0:11:32.080 or a black woman with a black father. If one 0:11:32.160 --> 0:11:34.920 of your parents is an African, we accept you as 0:11:34.960 --> 0:11:37.520 an African as long as you identify you have to 0:11:37.559 --> 0:11:40.800 be psychologically black, and you also have to be biologically black. 0:11:41.200 --> 0:11:43.600 You understand, But we don't take issue with mixed race. 0:11:43.679 --> 0:11:46.160 Many of the greatest Pan Africanists who ever lived or 0:11:46.240 --> 0:11:49.480 mixed race. There's even some argument that the greatest revolutionary 0:11:49.760 --> 0:11:51.920 of all time in his country to profit and that Turner, 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:53.840 he may have been a mixed race. His mother may 0:11:53.880 --> 0:11:55.920 have been raped by the slave master. You see, So 0:11:56.080 --> 0:11:58.599 we don't take issue over that. On a plantation, you 0:11:58.679 --> 0:12:00.840 had no control how you came into this world. Now, 0:12:00.920 --> 0:12:03.599 with that being said, it's important that black men and 0:12:03.720 --> 0:12:06.400 black women, even if they be mixed race Africans, they 0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:09.160 understand that we will not perpetuate that mistake because it 0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:11.960 does not benefit the black community. So although you may 0:12:12.040 --> 0:12:15.199 have a white parent, you will only produce children with 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:17.360 someone who looks like you. Be careful drinking that. That's 0:12:17.400 --> 0:12:20.640 called liquid death. Now you should It's water. Look at 0:12:20.679 --> 0:12:24.520 the can. It's water. It's gonna make sure I get 0:12:24.559 --> 0:12:26.440 my brother. Nothing just gives you some bragular water man. 0:12:29.440 --> 0:12:31.960 It's the ciain't hit it now. I think that that's 0:12:32.080 --> 0:12:34.520 I think that's wisk Leifer's water. Actually I think he's okay, Okay, 0:12:34.559 --> 0:12:37.560 wis Kleifer from PA, So that might be okay, Okay. 0:12:37.679 --> 0:12:39.760 I'm gonna be careful because you'll know. When brother Malcolm 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.360 went to the Middle East, they poisoned his drink. I 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:44.320 think Malcolm had to get pumped. They try to kill 0:12:44.400 --> 0:12:47.880 Malcolm in the Middle East. I know you're not, but 0:12:47.920 --> 0:12:52.640 I don't know who else around here. Okay, Johnny Cochrane 0:12:52.760 --> 0:12:55.200 was poisoned, and you know Johnny Cochrane was murdered because 0:12:55.240 --> 0:12:59.920 Johnny Cochrane was on the verge of finding out or 0:13:00.080 --> 0:13:04.800 he was going to determine how much reparations America owes 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:09.400 African people. Right after that, Johnny Cochrane ends up dead. 0:13:09.440 --> 0:13:13.360 Patrice Lamumba in the Congo first democratically elected Prime Minister 0:13:13.360 --> 0:13:16.959 of the Congo. They poisoned his daughter in trying to 0:13:17.040 --> 0:13:19.839 poison him. The CIA through the two pace. So we 0:13:19.920 --> 0:13:21.559 got to be clear that there is a doctor collar 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:25.040 that du Muhammad, a leader of the New Black Panther party. 0:13:25.080 --> 0:13:29.000 He may have also been poisoned. So we got to 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:30.600 be careful about what we eat and what we drink, 0:13:30.679 --> 0:13:32.640 especially me. So what do you think about the study 0:13:32.640 --> 0:13:34.280 of HR forty You know what I mean, because I 0:13:34.320 --> 0:13:36.160 mean that study is the reparations Bill. Yeah, it's the 0:13:36.160 --> 0:13:38.800 reparations bill that's supposed to see and determine you know, 0:13:39.000 --> 0:13:42.320 who gets reparations and how much reparations. Well, let's take 0:13:42.320 --> 0:13:45.240 it a step further. The state of California legislature just 0:13:45.480 --> 0:13:48.199 approved in the past few days a bill that will 0:13:48.240 --> 0:13:51.079 give each African American in the state of California two 0:13:51.240 --> 0:13:55.120 hundred and thirty three thousand dollars as a reparations paint. 0:13:55.200 --> 0:13:57.439 I think that's a bullish I think Gavin Newson is 0:13:57.480 --> 0:13:59.360 just doing that because reparations is going to be the 0:13:59.400 --> 0:14:02.640 buzzword for twenty twenty four to get black people energized. 0:14:02.840 --> 0:14:05.800 It is, and it's also a trap. Now, first of all, 0:14:05.840 --> 0:14:08.400 the reparations movement comes out of the Pan African This movement, 0:14:08.440 --> 0:14:11.640 we gave birth to reparations. It's not anything new, that's 0:14:11.679 --> 0:14:15.600 our thing, although it's for the whole people, a cash 0:14:15.720 --> 0:14:18.719 payout for reparations is a trap. And the reason the 0:14:18.880 --> 0:14:22.400 cash payout for reparations is a trap is because so 0:14:22.600 --> 0:14:24.800 much of what needs to be fixed in American society 0:14:24.840 --> 0:14:27.640 for African people, will take more than cash to do it. 0:14:27.920 --> 0:14:30.280 In other words, I give d DJ injury two hundred 0:14:30.320 --> 0:14:32.440 and thirty three thousand dollars, or if I take the 0:14:32.520 --> 0:14:35.640 Bob Johnson plan, he said, each American African is do 0:14:35.760 --> 0:14:38.080 three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, right, I give you 0:14:38.160 --> 0:14:41.560 three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. Does that stop mass incarceration? 0:14:41.840 --> 0:14:45.600 Does that stop miseducation? Does that stop gentrification? Does that 0:14:45.720 --> 0:14:49.480 stop police genocide? Does that guarantee as access to wealth? 0:14:49.640 --> 0:14:51.760 I mean, in the state of California, what can you 0:14:51.840 --> 0:14:54.080 get with two hundred and thirty three thousand dollars? I'm 0:14:54.120 --> 0:14:55.800 not even sure if that's enough for a house. And 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:57.880 on top of that, the minute they give you the payment, 0:14:58.160 --> 0:15:01.320 they can reduce the value of the pa AIM through inflation, 0:15:01.640 --> 0:15:03.600 so I can flood the economy with money, so the 0:15:03.640 --> 0:15:06.560 two thirty three is only worth one twenty and about 0:15:06.600 --> 0:15:08.600 twenty four hours. And then that's what they're gonna do. 0:15:08.600 --> 0:15:10.800 After they give their reparations to African people. They're going 0:15:10.880 --> 0:15:13.680 to find subsidy programs to give to the LGBTQ, to 0:15:13.800 --> 0:15:16.000 the women, to immigrants, to other people. So at the 0:15:16.080 --> 0:15:18.360 end of the day, what looked like a step up 0:15:18.400 --> 0:15:20.400 for black people would be a step back if I 0:15:20.560 --> 0:15:24.960 was in charge of the reparations. Conversation Number one, control 0:15:25.040 --> 0:15:27.320 of all Black music must only be done through the 0:15:27.360 --> 0:15:31.320 Black community. No non African can control our music. Prince 0:15:31.600 --> 0:15:36.120 Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Biggie Tupac. If the publishing, if 0:15:36.200 --> 0:15:39.040 the marketing, if the promotion, if the recording is not 0:15:39.200 --> 0:15:42.000 controlled by Black people, that has to change. We own 0:15:42.040 --> 0:15:46.160 our own music. Nobody can own self produce, published, promote 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:49.360 black music but black people. Because music is one of 0:15:49.440 --> 0:15:53.280 America's leading export industries. America makes more money off black 0:15:53.400 --> 0:15:55.720 music than almost anything else that she sells. So if 0:15:55.760 --> 0:15:58.040 we control the music, we have a steady stream of 0:15:58.120 --> 0:16:01.160 global revenue where we can build up Black Wall Street 0:16:01.280 --> 0:16:03.720 in every single city in America for black people. That's 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.080 how much money will be coming in from black music. 0:16:06.160 --> 0:16:09.960 That's one. Two. All Black inventions return to us permanently. 0:16:10.080 --> 0:16:13.480 Everything we invented is a permanent pattern for Africans and 0:16:13.560 --> 0:16:15.320 if you want to use it, you must pay us 0:16:15.320 --> 0:16:18.920 a percentage. The cell phone we invented that Internet. That's ours. 0:16:19.000 --> 0:16:23.200 Helicopter that's ours self lubricating engine, the microphone, the stop 0:16:23.280 --> 0:16:26.440 sign Milwaukee talkie. While those lights on right now because 0:16:26.480 --> 0:16:29.080 a black man named Lewis Latimer wrote a textbook that 0:16:29.240 --> 0:16:32.960 taught China, the UK, Canada, in America how to light 0:16:33.080 --> 0:16:35.360 up a whole city at night. Without Lewis Latimer, you 0:16:35.400 --> 0:16:37.720 don't get street lights at night. You don't get constant 0:16:38.040 --> 0:16:41.120 illumination anywhere in the world. So guess what, anybody running 0:16:41.200 --> 0:16:44.520 lights you're paying Black people. Take back ownership of our music, 0:16:44.800 --> 0:16:47.520 take back ownership of our inventions. Next on the list 0:16:47.600 --> 0:16:50.880 is all the confiscated lands. We had hundreds of thousands 0:16:50.920 --> 0:16:53.760 of acres of land stolen from US between eighteen sixty 0:16:53.840 --> 0:16:56.920 five and Malcolm's assassination in nineteen sixty five. We need 0:16:56.960 --> 0:16:59.520 to put together a research team that's going to investigate 0:16:59.600 --> 0:17:01.920 all the land that was stolen from African people and 0:17:02.080 --> 0:17:04.280 return it back. Since most of our people are dealing 0:17:04.320 --> 0:17:07.120 with homelessness. We have the highest homelessness rate in Black 0:17:07.160 --> 0:17:09.960 America since the sixties. If we can get our land 0:17:10.040 --> 0:17:11.879 back that will go a long way to getting a 0:17:11.920 --> 0:17:14.359 lot of our single mothers in their children off the street. 0:17:14.560 --> 0:17:21.640 In addition to that, America has about ten major exports gold, oil, water, electricity. 0:17:22.080 --> 0:17:25.879 We get a twenty five percent cut permanently. This is perpetual. 0:17:26.240 --> 0:17:28.680 Every time America makes a dollar, we get twenty five 0:17:28.720 --> 0:17:31.200 cents of that dollar as part of the reparations payment. 0:17:31.359 --> 0:17:34.719 American African sixty percent of US make up ten states. 0:17:35.000 --> 0:17:37.320 All ten of the states that represent sixty percent of 0:17:37.440 --> 0:17:40.720 US are seaboarding states. We should automatically control the port 0:17:40.920 --> 0:17:43.119 so we know what's coming in, what's going out, and 0:17:43.240 --> 0:17:45.440 we also get a percentage of that. But here's my 0:17:45.480 --> 0:17:49.960 biggest issue with reparations three one psychological damages. I'm not 0:17:50.080 --> 0:17:53.560 hearing enough of the reparations talking heads discuss enough about 0:17:53.560 --> 0:17:56.400 the psychological damages. You know, you can get far more 0:17:56.640 --> 0:17:59.160 from what you're old psychologically than you can ever get 0:17:59.280 --> 0:18:01.399 for two hundred forty three years of unpaid labor on 0:18:01.480 --> 0:18:05.760 the plantation. The psychological damage is what affects us the most. 0:18:05.960 --> 0:18:07.960 Every time you see a black man with a white woman, 0:18:08.119 --> 0:18:10.920 that's psychological damage. Every time you see a black woman 0:18:10.960 --> 0:18:13.720 with a blind wig on the head. That's psychological damage. 0:18:13.840 --> 0:18:15.640 Every time you see a little black boy or girl 0:18:15.880 --> 0:18:18.040 playing with a white doll instead of a black doll, 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:21.120 that's psychological damage. Where you see a black man take 0:18:21.160 --> 0:18:25.160 the life of another black man, that psychological damage. America 0:18:25.200 --> 0:18:28.679 owes us more for the psychological holocaust than she can 0:18:28.760 --> 0:18:30.840 ever owe for the labor. So we need to talk 0:18:30.920 --> 0:18:33.199 more about that. In addition to that, I don't hear 0:18:33.240 --> 0:18:35.800 nobody talking about the role the a Rabs played in 0:18:35.880 --> 0:18:38.400 the Transatlantic slave trade. I don't hear anybody talking about 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:41.760 the role that the European Jews played in the slave trade. 0:18:41.800 --> 0:18:43.480 I don't hear nobody talk about the role that the 0:18:43.560 --> 0:18:46.520 Catholic Church played in the slave trade. If we're gonna 0:18:46.560 --> 0:18:50.919 talk about reparations, bring every group that was responsible, those 0:18:50.960 --> 0:18:54.800 who finance the slavesh Nigerians too, Okay, let's talk about that. 0:18:55.400 --> 0:18:59.960 There was participation from some African kingdoms. We know that Dahomie, 0:19:00.040 --> 0:19:02.879 for example, which was popularizing the Lion King movie, the 0:19:02.920 --> 0:19:05.840 Woman King movie. There was some African participation. But guess what. 0:19:07.000 --> 0:19:11.320 The Transatlantic slave trade was a European operation. It was controlled, 0:19:11.840 --> 0:19:15.600 it grew, it was financed by Europeans when many of 0:19:15.640 --> 0:19:18.720 the African nations found out what was really being done 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.359 to us. Because in Africa there was no concept of 0:19:21.440 --> 0:19:25.560 chaddow slavery. There was no such thing as owning people forever. 0:19:25.960 --> 0:19:28.840 There was no such thing as perpetual ownership of an 0:19:29.000 --> 0:19:32.080 entire family line or bloodline you understand we had. There 0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:35.800 was no such thing as being dehumanized. European slavery stripped 0:19:35.800 --> 0:19:39.520 African people of our humanity. There's no precedent for that 0:19:39.680 --> 0:19:42.680 in the world before European chaddow slavery. They didn't know 0:19:42.760 --> 0:19:45.000 what they were getting into. They were wrong and can 0:19:45.040 --> 0:19:50.320 be held accountable. But let's not take the onus off 0:19:50.640 --> 0:19:53.920 of the true power structure behind slavery, and that was 0:19:54.000 --> 0:19:58.040 the White Man. Oh Portuguese was in it, the Dutch 0:19:58.160 --> 0:20:00.359 was in it, the Italians was in it, the Germans 0:20:00.440 --> 0:20:02.879 was in it. Who didn't have a hand either in 0:20:03.040 --> 0:20:06.719 slavery outright or colonization that came after it. And when 0:20:06.760 --> 0:20:10.280 you factor in colonization with slavery, you can't possibly blame 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:13.920 an African nation for that because they suffered during colonization 0:20:14.160 --> 0:20:17.119 as much as we did in slavery. So I reject 0:20:17.560 --> 0:20:21.080 any proposal that wants to make African people more liable 0:20:21.480 --> 0:20:25.280 for slavery than the white people who owned, controlled, expanded 0:20:25.440 --> 0:20:29.000 and benefited. Yeah, they're definitely not more liable. It's just 0:20:29.080 --> 0:20:32.040 like you said, everybody are equally equally. Everybody needs to 0:20:32.040 --> 0:20:36.360
