You heard 10 00:00:26,760 --> 00:00:33,160 Speaker 1: about Shaka and then Asher twelve tribes at Israel, and 11 00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,800 Speaker 1: then I victorious.

When 16 00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:48,800 Speaker 2: did you say to yourself, I have to live up 17 00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:49,279 Speaker 2: to this name. 18 00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:54,200 Speaker 1: I mean I've been. I've been a warrior for a while, 19 00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:56,320 Speaker 1: but kind of the wrong one because when I was 20 00:00:56,360 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: a younger, like when I was sixteen, I joined the 21 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:05,319 Speaker 1: British military, so I went to war in Iraq. I 22 00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: did the warrior thing, but being a warrior for euro 23 00:01:11,280 --> 00:01:16,080 Speaker 1: colonizer imperialism is not the warrior that Shakazulu was. I 24 00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,320 Speaker 1: think actually living up to the name, like ten years 25 00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,640 Speaker 1: I've been doing work now in Africa and the Caribbean, 26 00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,520 Speaker 1: so ten years. 27 00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:25,360 Speaker 2: That's why I wanted to have you up here, man, 28 00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:27,800 Speaker 2: because I've been watching a lot of the work that 29 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,920 Speaker 2: you've been doing in the Congo, and you're like the 30 00:01:30,920 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: only person I see, at least that I follow, who's 31 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,720 Speaker 2: like shining a light. 32 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,279 Speaker 3: On what's happening in the Congo. 33 00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:38,399 Speaker 2: So first first, I want to ask you what is 34 00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,400 Speaker 2: happening in the Congo and what made you what sparked 35 00:01:41,440 --> 00:01:43,000 Speaker 2: you to have to go out there and like want 36 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:44,120 Speaker 2: to really put booths to the ground. 37 00:01:45,120 --> 00:01:48,480 Speaker 1: I think you know, all of these devices that we 38 00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 1: see in front of us, they all have minerals in them, 39 00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:53,000 Speaker 1: and those minerals are coming from the Congo. And the 40 00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,880 Speaker 1: term smartphone was coined in nineteen ninety six at the 41 00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:02,080 Speaker 1: same time, Congo is being invaded because of Cobo Kotan. 42 00:02:04,720 --> 00:02:07,240 Speaker 1: Well from my various minerals that I needed in the 43 00:02:07,280 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 1: tech industry, and I realized that we using these devices, 44 00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:18,920 Speaker 1: we are a tacit complicit in this supply chain of 45 00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:22,760 Speaker 1: suffering basically, and now you've got this whole You see 46 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:25,320 Speaker 1: the rhetoric. Everybody's like it's a green tech revolution, and 47 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,680 Speaker 1: everybody go green. But the green tech revolution has a 48 00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:34,920 Speaker 1: Black African human cost because since this invasion of Congo, 49 00:02:35,320 --> 00:02:38,440 Speaker 1: the major one was in nineteen ninety eight, there was 50 00:02:38,480 --> 00:02:41,320 Speaker 1: six million people dead between ninety ninety eight and two 51 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: thousand and. 52 00:02:41,880 --> 00:02:44,800 Speaker 3: Three, and it started in ninety. 53 00:02:44,280 --> 00:02:50,079 Speaker 1: Four with the Rwandan genocide, right thousand people, eight hundred thousand. 54 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,360 Speaker 1: But the thing about the Rwandan genocide that not so 55 00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:58,359 Speaker 1: many people are speaking about, and I sent Winston Jukes 56 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,000 Speaker 1: some messages about it because he's now citizen of Rwanda, 57 00:03:01,520 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 1: and we see that Kendrick went to go perform in Rwanda, 58 00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,760 Speaker 1: is that the Rwandan genocide then led to a subsequent 59 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,320 Speaker 1: genocide of the Congo which has been going on and 60 00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:17,919 Speaker 1: has not finished yet. And so Rwanda has been able 61 00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:25,600 Speaker 1: to develop now basically being the client for their friends 62 00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:29,079 Speaker 1: in Europe and the Middle East. So where people think, 63 00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:33,480 Speaker 1: you know, it's fine, and that's the most progressive country 64 00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: in Africa, right next door there's a war and there's 65 00:03:36,640 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 1: a genocide. And I've been in that war. So where 66 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,600 Speaker 1: it's almost like how you have Israel and Palisine now right, 67 00:03:43,880 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 1: so you have this whole all right. Israel's very progressive 68 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: and great healthcare and all of these things, and then 69 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:56,200 Speaker 1: right next door it's like super genocide and that's what's 70 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:57,720 Speaker 1: going on in Congo and has been going on in 71 00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:02,800 Speaker 1: Congo because the world needs tech and most countries, in fact, 72 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 1: all countries in the world do not have the same 73 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,480 Speaker 1: amount of minerals as Congo has. It's two point four 74 00:04:10,120 --> 00:04:15,119 Speaker 1: million kilometers square. It if you stuck Congo in California, 75 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 1: it would reach Texas. That's how big, right when they 76 00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,719 Speaker 1: tell you how you know, they talk about Africa like 77 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: it's a small continent just somewhere down there, just one 78 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:31,760 Speaker 1: country in Africa is half the size of North America, right, 79 00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: And so it's so big that the different superpowers have 80 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:42,160 Speaker 1: been dividing it up for many, many years, and obviously 81 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:48,080 Speaker 1: there's gonna be collaborators. You know. We say that, oh, 82 00:04:48,160 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 1: king folk ain't skin folk or I think personally, or 83 00:04:53,560 --> 00:04:58,080 Speaker 1: all skin folk ae kin folk, I think personally. The 84 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:02,240 Speaker 1: genocide that we're witnessing now is the greatest humanitarian crisis 85 00:05:02,240 --> 00:05:02,760 Speaker 1: of our time. 86 00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:04,200 Speaker 3: Six million people. 87 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:07,599 Speaker 1: Right, No, six million people between nineteen eight eight to 88 00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:09,200 Speaker 1: two thousand and three. 89 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 2: Wow. 90 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:15,000 Speaker 1: Subsequently, since since then, there's been people dying every single day, 91 00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:18,200 Speaker 1: every single month, every single week since then. So, like 92 00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:21,920 Speaker 1: I've been working in Congo now for eight years, and 93 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:25,760 Speaker 1: just in the last two years that I've been working there, 94 00:05:26,279 --> 00:05:31,200 Speaker 1: there's been hundreds of thousands of people have lost their lives. 95 00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:35,360 Speaker 1: As well as these people losing their lives, there has 96 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:40,160 Speaker 1: been around another two million people displaced. So right now 97 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:45,680 Speaker 1: the population of Congo that is displaced is around seven 98 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:49,359 Speaker 1: and a half million. The population of the population of 99 00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,800 Speaker 1: displaced people in Congo is nearly the same population of 100 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,640 Speaker 1: New York City. Wow, I put it into scale for you. 101 00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:57,080 Speaker 1: It's kind of big. 102 00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,560 Speaker 4: So you've been there eight years and you said that 103 00:06:00,839 --> 00:06:03,400 Speaker 4: that has happened in the last two years. Would would 104 00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,599 Speaker 4: you say is most challenging and helping the people, you know, 105 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:10,839 Speaker 4: since helping the people of Congo like obstacles d overcome. 106 00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:16,800 Speaker 1: The fact that because it's black people, nobody cares. That's 107 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,080 Speaker 1: really so it's like where we see what was going 108 00:06:21,080 --> 00:06:22,839 Speaker 1: on in Ukraine and the whole world has to speak 109 00:06:22,839 --> 00:06:25,840 Speaker 1: about it. Where we see what is going on now 110 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,479 Speaker 1: in Palestine, and because of its relationship with Israel, and 111 00:06:29,520 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 1: because of Israel's relationship with North America, everybody speaking about it. 112 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,599 Speaker 1: The fact that we can have nearly in the last 113 00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 1: twenty five years, nearly ten people, sorry, nearly ten million 114 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,720 Speaker 1: people dead. And it's not popular news, it's not taught 115 00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,839 Speaker 1: in school. Is that's the most challenging thing. It's like 116 00:06:47,880 --> 00:06:50,240 Speaker 1: this hidden thing. It's like this under the radar thing. 117 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:56,480 Speaker 1: And if I told you in North America or in 118 00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:00,480 Speaker 1: Mexico or in Ukraine, that the population of New York 119 00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: was displaced, and when they're when I mean they're displaced, 120 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: I mean they're living in a tent and the tent 121 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: has been made from a plastic sheet and some woodsticks. 122 00:07:09,440 --> 00:07:12,040 Speaker 1: They don't have running water, they don't have electricity, they 123 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:15,119 Speaker 1: don't have basic health care, they don't have hardly any food. 124 00:07:15,280 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 1: So people are starving to death every day, like we 125 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:21,640 Speaker 1: see people dying every day. And if I was to 126 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:25,400 Speaker 1: if I was to drive you from where we are 127 00:07:25,520 --> 00:07:29,280 Speaker 1: right now, fifty fifth Street, I think if I was 128 00:07:29,320 --> 00:07:31,680 Speaker 1: to drive you from here down to where I was 129 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,680 Speaker 1: last night, eighth Street, and the whole way, you would 130 00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:38,160 Speaker 1: just see people displaced. You'd be like, what is going 131 00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,640 Speaker 1: on here? And people don't go there. That's the other 132 00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:45,440 Speaker 1: thing is there is many people who speak about Congo 133 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:48,880 Speaker 1: now or more people speaking about Congo, they don't go. Like, 134 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:52,960 Speaker 1: as much as I love my brothers and sisters for 135 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:56,600 Speaker 1: speaking about it as well as speaking about it, go 136 00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 1: there and help out or figure out a way. Because 137 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,960 Speaker 1: the thing is that it's not necessarily that you need 138 00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:03,560 Speaker 1: to go there and do something. Just go there and 139 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 1: take your phone and show people what's going on, because 140 00:08:06,840 --> 00:08:09,240 Speaker 1: get the word out. Because this if this phone, if 141 00:08:09,320 --> 00:08:12,320 Speaker 1: these devices are created from the minerals from there, and 142 00:08:12,360 --> 00:08:14,000 Speaker 1: we all have one, and we're all going to have 143 00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,960 Speaker 1: the whatever's coming out, right, then why is it that 144 00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 1: you know, we speak about the Holocaust in Germany of 145 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:28,280 Speaker 1: the Nazis and we say never again, right, and that 146 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:33,480 Speaker 1: is drilled into us, into movies, into narratives and rhetoric. Right. 147 00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 1: Why has more people the most people in the world 148 00:08:39,920 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 1: since the Cold War have died in Congo and the 149 00:08:42,720 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 1: rest of the world is not speaking about it. So 150 00:08:44,280 --> 00:08:48,560 Speaker 1: in the last fifty years, Congo's deaths have have have 151 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:51,400 Speaker 1: equated to more than all of the world wars and 152 00:08:51,440 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 1: conflicts combined, Wow with Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, et cetera, et cetera. 153 00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: And we're not speaking about it because black African people, 154 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,120 Speaker 1: if these were white people if these were light skinned people. 155 00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:07,440 Speaker 1: And the thing is is we have to be the 156 00:09:07,440 --> 00:09:10,600 Speaker 1: ones that speak about it because it's only black people 157 00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:12,240 Speaker 1: who are going to care the most about black people. 158 00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:14,840 Speaker 1: If we don't care, then nothing's going to get spoken about. 159 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:19,680 Speaker 1: And I think that the problem with capitalism is it 160 00:09:19,720 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 1: hides its deficits. Right. So, yeah, there's a green tech 161 00:09:22,600 --> 00:09:26,680 Speaker 1: revolution and we might be able to do some carbon offsetting, right, 162 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:30,640 Speaker 1: but there's seven million, nearly eight million people displaced because 163 00:09:30,679 --> 00:09:33,480 Speaker 1: of it. So it's like, do we want do we 164 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:38,440 Speaker 1: want that as a solution if we're gonna see in 165 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: our time, we're going to see one of the biggest 166 00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 1: genocides and biggest displacements of people. So I think that's 167 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:45,120 Speaker 1: that's the biggest problem for me. 168 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 3: Yeah, and that's the other component to it. 169 00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:47,200 Speaker 1: Right. 170 00:09:47,240 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 3: The other component is you have all of. 171 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,160 Speaker 2: These different countries who are benefiting for what's going on 172 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 2: in the Congo, and people are not going to be 173 00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 2: willing to give up their technology sadly in this world. 174 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,360 Speaker 2: That's you know, we live in a capital society, but 175 00:09:58,400 --> 00:10:02,080 Speaker 2: everything else is on capitalism. People are going to say, okay, yeah, 176 00:10:02,120 --> 00:10:03,760 Speaker 2: we know those people are going through that, but you 177 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,360 Speaker 2: need laptops. 178 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 3: No, but it's true. 179 00:10:06,880 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 1: It's true. But at the same time, as as as 180 00:10:12,200 --> 00:10:16,679 Speaker 1: we always say, you can get the minerals stop killing people, Like, 181 00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:22,240 Speaker 1: why is it if you discovered gold you're from Baltimore, right, 182 00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:24,960 Speaker 1: Imagine if there was there was a gold mine in Baltimore. 183 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,400 Speaker 1: Why does half the population in Baltimore now have to 184 00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:30,240 Speaker 1: be displaced because of that gold mine. It seems like 185 00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:33,679 Speaker 1: it's only Africa where resources are a curse. Everywhere else 186 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: the resources is great. It's great to be used there. 187 00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:39,360 Speaker 1: And at the same time, when we try and get 188 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:45,160 Speaker 1: these messages out, shout out to to Julie Meta at 189 00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,320 Speaker 1: Instagram because she's helping me out. The accounts that speak 190 00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:51,199 Speaker 1: about this the most of the most censored. Right, So 191 00:10:51,320 --> 00:10:56,280 Speaker 1: like every single product within Instagram I basically can't use 192 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,720 Speaker 1: and I've used. I built a whole village in Congo, right, 193 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 1: we care for around one hundred Offen children. But every 194 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,800 Speaker 1: single product I haven't been able to go live for 195 00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: seven months? 196 00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 3: Wow? 197 00:11:07,559 --> 00:11:14,760 Speaker 1: Right, subscriptions, No, can't send broadcast messages out, can't what 198 00:11:14,840 --> 00:11:19,160 Speaker 1: other things? When people share my stories, it mentions this 199 00:11:19,240 --> 00:11:23,280 Speaker 1: person has repeatedly posted false information. If you want to 200 00:11:23,320 --> 00:11:25,000 Speaker 1: try and follow me. You don't follow me, but if 201 00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:26,360 Speaker 1: you want to try and follow me, it's going to 202 00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:29,560 Speaker 1: give you a warning before you follow me. And this 203 00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,000 Speaker 1: is the same thing as from what I can see, 204 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 1: this is the same thing as cointail pro is like 205 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 1: silence black leaders, stop the rise of a black nation. 206 00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,040 Speaker 1: And this is the third point of cointail pro. Stop 207 00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:47,120 Speaker 1: the the communication of African Americans because of how much 208 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,319 Speaker 1: your GDP is worth and Africans on the content, stop 209 00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:55,240 Speaker 1: that work together. Because if you look at New York, 210 00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:57,280 Speaker 1: for instance, New York is a population of eight million, 211 00:11:57,800 --> 00:12:01,840 Speaker 1: one point three trillion, right. If you look at you're 212 00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 1: from Carolina, right, Calina. If you look at Carolina and 213 00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,839 Speaker 1: you look at the GDP of Carolina, I got it 214 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: written down here. You look at the GDP of Carolina, 215 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,760 Speaker 1: and then I thought envy was going to be here 216 00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:21,319 Speaker 1: as well. I combined the three GDPs of Carolina, Baltimore, 217 00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:26,680 Speaker 1: and New York State. New York, New York State is 218 00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:30,040 Speaker 1: twenty million people, and it's a it's a GDP of 219 00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:34,000 Speaker 1: two trillion, right, and then when you look at when 220 00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 1: you add Baltimore to that, and you add Maryland to that, 221 00:12:38,559 --> 00:12:40,559 Speaker 1: it's five hundred billion, right, and then if you add 222 00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:45,240 Speaker 1: South Carolina to that and the GDP of Colombia, that's 223 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:52,400 Speaker 1: another three hundred billion. Right. The entire GDP of the 224 00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:54,920 Speaker 1: entire continent of Africa, which is around one point four 225 00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 1: billion people, is two point seven trillion. So three states 226 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,200 Speaker 1: in America have the same GDP as the entire continent 227 00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:07,560 Speaker 1: of Africa. And we know that Africa's resource reach, So 228 00:13:07,600 --> 00:13:09,480 Speaker 1: then what is the system that's being set up? Because 229 00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 1: it's not just Congo, There's many countries that is happening 230 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:14,720 Speaker 1: in and so when we try and speak about this, 231 00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:19,160 Speaker 1: we're always being censored. And I'm sure they'll work it out. 232 00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:22,080 Speaker 1: Because if I wasn't able to use Instagram the way 233 00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:24,120 Speaker 1: that I've used Instagram, then I wouldn't have been able 234 00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:25,560 Speaker 1: to do the things that I've been able to do, 235 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:32,880 Speaker 1: Because why are you going to as white imperialist structures, 236 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:35,559 Speaker 1: Why are you going to elect somebody who's speaking about 237 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:37,360 Speaker 1: the same things that you're benefiting from. You're not going 238 00:13:37,440 --> 00:13:40,080 Speaker 1: to do that. Yeah, but black people see me and 239 00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: they're like, well, we want to know about what's going 240 00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: on in Congo. We got phones, we want to know 241 00:13:44,040 --> 00:13:49,040 Speaker 1: about this stuff. And so I would implore everybody. Years ago, 242 00:13:49,160 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: I set up a charity called iHeart Africa because Congo 243 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: is the heart shacker of Africa's right in the center 244 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 1: of Africa. I set up this charity and since then 245 00:13:58,880 --> 00:14:04,400 Speaker 1: we've cared for around around two hundred children for like 246 00:14:04,440 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: eight years. But it's a drop in the ocean. And 247 00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:13,800 Speaker 1: what I would say is is African Americans being involved 248 00:14:13,800 --> 00:14:20,080 Speaker 1: in African business, African philanthropic efforts are not going to 249 00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:22,000 Speaker 1: do it for nefarious reasons. They're going to do it 250 00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 1: because they see you see a little Congolese kid, You'd 251 00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:27,560 Speaker 1: be like, that could be my kid, right, And that 252 00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:31,360 Speaker 1: in itself is going to do something. Whereas when people 253 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:34,400 Speaker 1: are going there with this colonial mindset, they're going there 254 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,880 Speaker 1: as let's go and help these poor stuff in Africans 255 00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:40,160 Speaker 1: at the same time as stealing diamonds, stealing gold, stealing coltan. 256 00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 1: Because the reality is it's not Africans that control this. 257 00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 1: Right now, they're out of the nineteen minds that mine 258 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 1: Cootan in Congo, fifteen of them owned by Chinese. And 259 00:14:53,400 --> 00:14:56,720 Speaker 1: I'm not going to come on here and talk about Chinese, 260 00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 1: but I am going to say that they are going 261 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 1: to do for their own people first, and so we 262 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:03,560 Speaker 1: should do for our own people first. Because the other 263 00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: thing is I've seen Baltimore that is like poverty, like crazy. 264 00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,200 Speaker 1: I'm not saying the whole of Baltimore, but I'm saying 265 00:15:13,240 --> 00:15:14,560 Speaker 1: some of them stoops the. 266 00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:17,160 Speaker 3: Wire. 267 00:15:17,720 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: But there's no reason why with the port there that 268 00:15:22,120 --> 00:15:25,600 Speaker 1: people should be so impoverished. Right And and this is 269 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: what Marcus Garvey was trying to do with his black 270 00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:30,880 Speaker 1: style liner. There should be a shipping company. There should 271 00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 1: be an airport that's black owned. There should be black 272 00:15:33,720 --> 00:15:36,760 Speaker 1: owned commerce coming from Africa to the port in Baltimore, 273 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: and vice versa. Trade should be done directly. Shouldn't have 274 00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:43,320 Speaker 1: to do trade with the government that's going to steal 275 00:15:43,360 --> 00:15:48,200 Speaker 1: from you anyway, because I mean, shit, if it's like 276 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,240 Speaker 1: if we if we get into talking about government, I 277 00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: I know that you guys sometimes have political people on here. 278 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:01,440 Speaker 1: Often at the same time as all of the things 279 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:04,080 Speaker 1: that I've just said are happening. It was funded by 280 00:16:04,080 --> 00:16:07,240 Speaker 1: the US government, like they literally funded it and went 281 00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:10,280 Speaker 1: in there and are protecting their interests, et cetera, et cetera. 282 00:16:10,760 --> 00:16:13,800 Speaker 1: And we argue about this stuff often. Should you vote 283 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,400 Speaker 1: Republican should you vote Democrat. And it's like it's like 284 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:22,520 Speaker 1: we say in Rasta is like in fact, indigenous people 285 00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:24,360 Speaker 1: say this, but rast of people say this as well. 286 00:16:24,760 --> 00:16:27,760 Speaker 1: Is two wings of the same bird is still the 287 00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:31,680 Speaker 1: same bird. And when we're giving these systems to vote on, 288 00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,440 Speaker 1: we're not given an opportunity to actually create change. We're 289 00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:39,240 Speaker 1: just given an opportunity to reinstate the same system with 290 00:16:39,360 --> 00:16:41,840 Speaker 1: a blue or a red symbolism on it. 291 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:46,120 Speaker 2: And because throughout the world nothing changes, regardless of who 292 00:16:46,240 --> 00:16:49,040 Speaker 2: is in the White House, their interests will be their 293 00:16:49,080 --> 00:16:52,640 Speaker 2: interest right, regardless of it has an interest who is 294 00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:55,320 Speaker 2: in that that that white House Republican, Democratic. 295 00:16:55,600 --> 00:16:58,920 Speaker 1: But I'm speaking to Black America because because Black America 296 00:16:59,040 --> 00:17:01,880 Speaker 1: is powerful enough to be able to make its own 297 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,240 Speaker 1: decisions for what it wants to do with its own destiny. 298 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,680 Speaker 1: And I mean, you see the exodus to Ghana right now, 299 00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:12,480 Speaker 1: Like right now, me and my friends shout out to 300 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:15,520 Speaker 1: I don't even know if I can announce it. Yeah, 301 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: but we're about to start building a city in Ghana, 302 00:17:17,560 --> 00:17:20,439 Speaker 1: like a whole city amazing for the diaspora to go 303 00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:24,440 Speaker 1: home to. And we were there like a few weeks 304 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:28,600 Speaker 1: ago and living nice like living nice. 305 00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:31,000 Speaker 3: You've been to Ghana, yes, love it. 306 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,560 Speaker 1: Right right right and then and then imagine you don't 307 00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,639 Speaker 1: experience any racism the whole time that you're there. Like 308 00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,560 Speaker 1: if the police stop you, they're asking you how your 309 00:17:40,640 --> 00:17:43,600 Speaker 1: day is. If the police stop you in America, you 310 00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:45,600 Speaker 1: might catch a straight You. 311 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 2: Don't know how it's gonna go based on what kind 312 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 2: of day they're having, right right, right right. 313 00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: In Ghana, the police can't flex like that. In Ghana. 314 00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,359 Speaker 1: I think the last time, I think a soldier shot 315 00:17:55,400 --> 00:17:59,520 Speaker 1: somebody and shouldn't have shot that person. The people went 316 00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,240 Speaker 1: out and dry demand to the street and killed him. 317 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:04,280 Speaker 1: You can't be doing that in Africa. The way that 318 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 1: the way that things running the West is very different 319 00:18:07,960 --> 00:18:09,560 Speaker 1: to the way that things run in Africa. 320 00:18:09,560 --> 00:18:10,879 Speaker 2: And even if you steal, like you go to the 321 00:18:10,920 --> 00:18:13,760 Speaker 2: markets and it's a word they yell out I can't remember, 322 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,119 Speaker 2: but if you steal, they yell out. 323 00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,400 Speaker 1: This word yeah, and everybody will lich you, everybody beat 324 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,879 Speaker 1: you up. Don't don't be stealing, you know, yeah, or 325 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:24,760 Speaker 1: if you be stealing, don't get caught. And then we 326 00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:27,600 Speaker 1: go back to the government. They get caught stealing, like 327 00:18:27,640 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: this whole banking bailout. Thing that happened every It happens 328 00:18:31,320 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 1: every eight years every time as a financial crisis. Like 329 00:18:34,520 --> 00:18:37,880 Speaker 1: I saw. I was walking through New York a few 330 00:18:37,920 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 1: days ago, and I saw not actually I just came 331 00:18:40,800 --> 00:18:43,199 Speaker 1: from Jamaica, but the last time I was here a 332 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,240 Speaker 1: few weeks ago, I was walking through New York and 333 00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:50,240 Speaker 1: I saw that American people are thirty four trillion in debt, Yeah, 334 00:18:50,359 --> 00:18:54,199 Speaker 1: in debt to who who are you in debt to? 335 00:18:54,680 --> 00:18:56,480 Speaker 1: And then you have to think about if you're thirty 336 00:18:56,480 --> 00:18:58,720 Speaker 1: four trillion in debt because Africa is a cash system, 337 00:18:58,720 --> 00:19:01,240 Speaker 1: as you know, here is a credit system, you're thirty 338 00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,600 Speaker 1: four trillion dollars in debt, which means that you are 339 00:19:04,640 --> 00:19:07,919 Speaker 1: spending money you don't have. Then who is doing that 340 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:12,439 Speaker 1: labor for you? Where is that being exported to? Obviously Africa, China, India, 341 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:19,360 Speaker 1: et cetera. And the reality is that where where there's 342 00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,720 Speaker 1: like this, this this massive amount of censorship for speaking 343 00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 1: about the things that are real. The things that are 344 00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 1: I want to say that they're bullshit, But the things 345 00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,400 Speaker 1: that I don't think we should speak about so much are, 346 00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:36,080 Speaker 1: for instance, what is going to dominate the airwaves for 347 00:19:36,119 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: the next month maybe is Kendrick versus Drake's right, who 348 00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,240 Speaker 1: gives a shit? 349 00:19:40,760 --> 00:19:42,480 Speaker 2: I just read an article on Rolling Stone and it 350 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 2: was talking about how it's hard to care about the 351 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:46,439 Speaker 2: rat War when it's the real war going on. 352 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:51,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, and that was probably referring to Palaestinis. There's five 353 00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,520 Speaker 1: million people just placed in Sudan. There's an ongoing conflict 354 00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:58,960 Speaker 1: that's been financed by the West in Somalia. There are 355 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:04,960 Speaker 1: millillions of people displaced in Yemen, South Sudan, wars back 356 00:20:04,960 --> 00:20:08,760 Speaker 1: and forth. We're looking at like we're looking at one 357 00:20:08,760 --> 00:20:12,360 Speaker 1: of the biggest humanitarian crisis of our time in Central 358 00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:16,600 Speaker 1: East Africa, and we are worried about who's got better borrows. 359 00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: And if you look at it, let's be honest, rap 360 00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,440 Speaker 1: battles has just grown men spitting poetry to each other. 361 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:25,920 Speaker 1: Frankly Kendrick right, But it is it's like you make 362 00:20:25,960 --> 00:20:28,960 Speaker 1: it sound so romantic. I mean, I mean, if you're 363 00:20:29,040 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: taking the time to go back and forth and research 364 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,239 Speaker 1: somebody and write poetry about them, I mean, I don't know. 365 00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know. 366 00:20:39,119 --> 00:20:41,200 Speaker 3: Listen, they say popping as sexy. 367 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:48,280 Speaker 1: All I'm saying is is there's real wars going on. 368 00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 1: In the world. And I've been doing this work for 369 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 1: nearly ten years now. I started when I left the military. 370 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,439 Speaker 1: I started doing boxing. Well, I was boxing in the military, 371 00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:01,960 Speaker 1: but I was doing boxing to raise money to do 372 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:05,840 Speaker 1: these things. And I've been in war zones in Somalia, 373 00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,879 Speaker 1: in Congo, real gunshots going off, real bombs. We had 374 00:21:08,920 --> 00:21:11,879 Speaker 1: to evacuate kids and all kinds of stuff, right, Seeing 375 00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:16,200 Speaker 1: bodies full of seeing trucks full of bodies. Right, my 376 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:20,399 Speaker 1: phone's not ringing, My phone's not ringing. So people are seeing. 377 00:21:22,440 --> 00:21:24,840 Speaker 1: If I start rapping, but start rapping about all of 378 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,240 Speaker 1: a sudden, everybody's did like, you know about you know 379 00:21:27,280 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: what's going on in Congo. And for me, I'm like, 380 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:37,560 Speaker 1: are we? Are we the black bourgeoisie, and are we 381 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,159 Speaker 1: the raccoons that our slave masters wanted us to be? 382 00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 1: Are we the house negroes? 383 00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 3: Or what is the black? 384 00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: So the black bourgeoisie is a class that's been created 385 00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:53,520 Speaker 1: basically to run errands for white people. The black bourgeoisi 386 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: class essentially are the black elites. They work for the 387 00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:03,679 Speaker 1: powers that be to maintain the status quo, to maintain 388 00:22:03,800 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 1: the order of what is going on. And if you 389 00:22:06,359 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: look at the black bourgeoisie. They usually have everything to 390 00:22:09,680 --> 00:22:13,840 Speaker 1: say and nothing changes. The most opinionated because they have 391 00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:15,880 Speaker 1: the phones, they have the platforms, et cetera, et cetera. 392 00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: And I've been an activist for a long time, and 393 00:22:20,520 --> 00:22:22,920 Speaker 1: so when I look at that class of people, I'm like, well, 394 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 1: say talking shit, say whatever you want to say, but 395 00:22:26,800 --> 00:22:29,919 Speaker 1: put some little money towards moving some of these things forward. 396 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 3: What are you doing? 397 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,200 Speaker 1: What are you doing? 398 00:22:31,240 --> 00:22:32,480 Speaker 3: I say that all the time. And it's not a 399 00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:34,959 Speaker 3: party thing. It don't matter. It's not conservative all liberoos. 400 00:22:35,040 --> 00:22:38,160 Speaker 2: Just like these people talk talk, talk, talk so much 401 00:22:38,520 --> 00:22:40,240 Speaker 2: about what needs to be done, but. 402 00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:42,160 Speaker 3: What are they actually doing. 403 00:22:43,640 --> 00:22:51,040 Speaker 1: I think personally that when a revolution happens, because I've 404 00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,520 Speaker 1: been for a long time now a Pan African revolutionary, 405 00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:57,040 Speaker 1: and I've been trying to make change, and I've been 406 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:01,480 Speaker 1: making change. I've been referring the highly celestic high school 407 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,560 Speaker 1: in Kingston, Jamaica. I just came from Jamaica. I've been 408 00:23:03,600 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: refurbishing this high school, trying to get everybody within Rasta 409 00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:09,720 Speaker 1: to unite under this banner of we need to do 410 00:23:09,800 --> 00:23:12,080 Speaker 1: better for the kids. I built a school in Ghana. 411 00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:21,600 Speaker 1: I created an agricultural development program in Somalia that was 412 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: feeding three hundred thousand people at the same time we're 413 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,480 Speaker 1: doing this project in Congo. We built a village with 414 00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:31,959 Speaker 1: twenty four houses and we now look after around two 415 00:23:32,040 --> 00:23:35,119 Speaker 1: hundred people. Right, this is on me, one liquor me, 416 00:23:36,560 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 1: just just a one man. If you start thinking about 417 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:40,679 Speaker 1: collectively what all of these people can do if they 418 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:44,000 Speaker 1: put their heads together. But it's egos. Everybody wants to 419 00:23:44,040 --> 00:23:46,120 Speaker 1: be Moses. Oh I've got to have my own foundation. 420 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:48,000 Speaker 1: Oh I've got to have my own thing. And it's 421 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: like if somebody says to you, now, all right, Jess, 422 00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,560 Speaker 1: you've got to build a school, and you're gonna be like, okay, 423 00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:56,479 Speaker 1: all right, how am I going to do this? If 424 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:59,560 Speaker 1: somebody says, Jess, there's one hundred people building the school, 425 00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:02,760 Speaker 1: do you want to put in? Is yeah, put it right. 426 00:24:03,040 --> 00:24:05,879 Speaker 1: Because the other thing is is if you spend you 427 00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:07,480 Speaker 1: need to do the action as well. If you spend 428 00:24:07,640 --> 00:24:10,119 Speaker 1: all of your time talking, when you're gonna get the 429 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,200 Speaker 1: action done. And that's what I say to my brothers 430 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: and sisters who do a lot of talking. And I 431 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,960 Speaker 1: don't mean journalists and radio show hosts. I mean the 432 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: black bourgeoisie who have this idea that they are the 433 00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:26,520 Speaker 1: they are the voice for the people, They're the voice 434 00:24:26,520 --> 00:24:29,159 Speaker 1: for the oppressed people. I'm like, you're the voice for 435 00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:31,720 Speaker 1: the oppressed people, but what about the resources? Like what 436 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:34,800 Speaker 1: are you turning that voice into actual action or you're 437 00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 1: just saying that you're gonna go inspire people. I've actually 438 00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:40,840 Speaker 1: I've lost a lot of friends along the way because 439 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:45,119 Speaker 1: they want me to speak speak speaks to speak, and 440 00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,800 Speaker 1: I want to do do do do do? So that's 441 00:24:47,880 --> 00:24:50,960 Speaker 1: why I do maybe, And I'm gonna come back on 442 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,000 Speaker 1: here and I'll do more interviews to give you guys updates. 443 00:24:54,040 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: But I will do four years of work and then 444 00:24:56,320 --> 00:24:59,399 Speaker 1: come and talk about it. Most people go and do 445 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:02,240 Speaker 1: four years of talking and do some little work. So 446 00:25:02,359 --> 00:25:06,240 Speaker 1: it's like, okay, so where where is the factory that 447 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:08,399 Speaker 1: you promised or where is the business that you promise? 448 00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:11,440 Speaker 1: It's not going to be there. And then so many, 449 00:25:11,640 --> 00:25:13,680 Speaker 1: regardless of whether you like me or not or whatever 450 00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:16,600 Speaker 1: I say, these things are happening. So I try and 451 00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:20,400 Speaker 1: put shed a light on it. There's a sister, Amanda, 452 00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:24,320 Speaker 1: Amanda Seals. She blocked me. A lot of people blocked 453 00:25:24,359 --> 00:25:26,879 Speaker 1: me across the course of time. She blocked me because 454 00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:30,399 Speaker 1: during the and the only reason I'm speaking about her 455 00:25:30,480 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 1: is because people have told me that she talks about 456 00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:35,320 Speaker 1: me on her Patreon and I don't even talk about her, right. 457 00:25:35,840 --> 00:25:38,440 Speaker 1: But the reason why she blocked me is because in 458 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: twenty twenty, during the election, the same year that my 459 00:25:40,640 --> 00:25:44,399 Speaker 1: Instagram got shut down, right because for whatever reason, they 460 00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:46,400 Speaker 1: didn't want me to speak to black people during that time. 461 00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:49,400 Speaker 1: She was like, you need to tell everybody to vote 462 00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 1: for Biden. I was like, I ain't going to go 463 00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,000 Speaker 1: and tell no black folks to vote for no white person. 464 00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:57,880 Speaker 1: I ain't gonna go and do it.

I agree, Why are we 469 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:10,040 Speaker 1: doing that? 470 00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:11,920 Speaker 3: I don't know why why are we still doing that? 471 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: I don't know why we're so beholden to any party, 472 00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:15,960 Speaker 2: black conservative, black liberals. 473 00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:16,560 Speaker 3: I don't get it. 474 00:26:16,800 --> 00:26:19,800 Speaker 1: Right exactly, black nationalism. That's what Malcolm X is preaching. 475 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:24,760 Speaker 1: Put blackness first. Blocked me and then turns around and 476 00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:29,119 Speaker 1: starts calling Joe Biden genocide Joe, And I'm like, well, 477 00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,280 Speaker 1: I didn't tell nobody, no black folk to vote for 478 00:26:31,359 --> 00:26:34,960 Speaker 1: no white folk in the first place. Have your own representation, because. 479 00:26:34,680 --> 00:26:36,600 Speaker 3: You're not even telling people not to vote. You're saying, 480 00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:38,280 Speaker 3: I'm not going to indorse. 481 00:26:38,119 --> 00:26:42,520 Speaker 1: Right, right, right, Because at the same time, not all 482 00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 1: white folk are bad, but white systems wherever they meet 483 00:26:46,080 --> 00:26:49,520 Speaker 1: black people are terrible. Right, So we need our own systems. 484 00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:58,560 Speaker 1: Not all, not all Arab people are bad, but Arab 485 00:26:58,680 --> 00:27:02,040 Speaker 1: systems where they meet Africa it's terrible. No Chinese people 486 00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: are bad, but Chinese systems. You see what they're doing 487 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,119 Speaker 1: in Africa, buying up everything. You see the people in 488 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,760 Speaker 1: the Caribbean. It's the same thing. So it's like, I 489 00:27:10,840 --> 00:27:13,960 Speaker 1: don't think that I don't think integration was the best idea. 490 00:27:14,480 --> 00:27:16,200 Speaker 1: It might have been a good idea on paper, but 491 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,919 Speaker 1: you see what Martin Luther King said before he transitioned, 492 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:22,280 Speaker 1: before he was assassinated by the government by this government, 493 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:26,240 Speaker 1: he said, I've integrated my people into a burning building, right, 494 00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:29,760 Speaker 1: And I say that two men or two women in 495 00:27:29,800 --> 00:27:31,760 Speaker 1: a burning building should not stop to argue. So what 496 00:27:31,800 --> 00:27:34,480 Speaker 1: we're arguing about, we need to just keep moving forward, 497 00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: like I learned Kei Swahili, so I can be able 498 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 1: to speak to people in Congo because they don't speak English. 499 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:43,520 Speaker 1: That's how diligent I am. That's how much work I'm 500 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:46,119 Speaker 1: trying to do. And then you have people who are 501 00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,960 Speaker 1: more concerned about rap battles, who's sleeping with who, and 502 00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:55,080 Speaker 1: the culture, it seems, is just being dragged down into nothingness. 503 00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,160 Speaker 1: Hip Hop used to mean something, right, and I've seen 504 00:27:58,240 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 1: Omar Johnson speaking about this before. Hip hop used to 505 00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:05,160 Speaker 1: mean something. And at the same time, it's been fifty 506 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:08,040 Speaker 1: years of hip hop. Now where is the hip hop University? 507 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:10,320 Speaker 1: Where is the hip hop factory? Where is the hip 508 00:28:10,320 --> 00:28:13,080 Speaker 1: hop school?

But these men are so opinionated, and now 512 00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:30,359 Speaker 1: women are so opinionated about arguing amongst each other and 513 00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:36,080 Speaker 1: intellectually jousting with each other and like almost masturbating their 514 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: ego all over the internet all of the time, and 515 00:28:38,440 --> 00:28:43,400 Speaker 1: showing they are so involved in seeking white validation. They're 516 00:28:43,440 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 1: so involved in and it's not just the hip hop, 517 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,960 Speaker 1: it's the athletes as well.

They do group economics. Where 579 00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:43,560 Speaker 1: we are now owned by white corporate media. We are 580 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:50,320 Speaker 1: now owned by contracts with different peoples. We don't actually 581 00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:53,480 Speaker 1: have the power.

You ain't going to get 597 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,959 Speaker 1: the loan. Why if you are, if you are our 598 00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:38,360 Speaker 1: white imperialistic structural violence, why are you now going to 599 00:32:38,400 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: give money to the people that you're oppressing. And look 600 00:32:41,040 --> 00:32:43,440 Speaker 1: at this whole thing that's been going on for a 601 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: few years now, since social media came about, with this 602 00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,320 Speaker 1: whole ADOS FBA and then the African African kind of 603 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,320 Speaker 1: wars that's going on. It's a back and forth wars. 604 00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:59,600 Speaker 1: And at the same time, the wars that have been 605 00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:02,000 Speaker 1: happening here between the cribs and the bloods and the 606 00:33:02,120 --> 00:33:04,640 Speaker 1: gangs and the different things. It's that you're fighting over 607 00:33:04,680 --> 00:33:07,960 Speaker 1: a block that you don't own. It's called the black neighborhood, 608 00:33:07,960 --> 00:33:10,360 Speaker 1: but black people just live there, we don't own it, right. 609 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,400 Speaker 1: And where you look at these all of these different 610 00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 1: groups fighting, whether it's you know, the Black Americans and 611 00:33:19,560 --> 00:33:24,400 Speaker 1: the Black Africans, you will see that white folk now 612 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:30,840 Speaker 1: will pick often will pick Black Africans over Black African 613 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 1: Americans or Black Americans because they want to continue to 614 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:35,160 Speaker 1: create that. 615 00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:39,880 Speaker 2: Conflict British, especially in Hollywood, for roles and things that. 616 00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: Right, exactly, And I'm not saying that Black British aren't 617 00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:45,760 Speaker 1: amazing actors. They are amazing actors. But the fact of 618 00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:50,720 Speaker 1: the matter is that your oppressor will always find devious 619 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:53,840 Speaker 1: ways to continue to keep you oppressed while trying to 620 00:33:53,920 --> 00:33:59,960 Speaker 1: elevate other groups. So like for instance, Koreans, Jewish people China, 621 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:01,880 Speaker 1: these people will be all up in the hood, owning 622 00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:06,640 Speaker 1: their own hood, owning our own areas, and they are 623 00:34:06,840 --> 00:34:10,759 Speaker 1: the pretext, or they're the pre movement for the gentrification 624 00:34:10,840 --> 00:34:13,680 Speaker 1: of these areas. Right. And at the same time we're 625 00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:16,960 Speaker 1: sitting there saying, oh, well, you know, it's these Black 626 00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:20,960 Speaker 1: Caribbeans that are you know, causing this conflict with with 627 00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:23,879 Speaker 1: African Americans, or it's these black Africans and they're coming 628 00:34:23,920 --> 00:34:26,359 Speaker 1: and they're taking our jobs. It's the same rhetoric as 629 00:34:26,440 --> 00:34:29,640 Speaker 1: the racists use when they say about black people are 630 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,880 Speaker 1: coming and taking our jobs, et cetera, et cetera. But 631 00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,440 Speaker 1: the reality is that there's very very few oppressors and 632 00:34:37,520 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: there's a lot of oppressed people. And if the oppressed 633 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:42,680 Speaker 1: people start coming together, like my phone should be ringing 634 00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:46,359 Speaker 1: off the hook, Yo, how we making My friend's got 635 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:50,360 Speaker 1: a gold mine in in Zambia, So why don't we 636 00:34:50,440 --> 00:34:52,520 Speaker 1: invest in that? And why don't we be We be 637 00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:57,960 Speaker 1: making millions of dollars each month in money from natural resources, 638 00:34:58,320 --> 00:35:03,160 Speaker 1: but people are more in clinent to invest in shares 639 00:35:03,200 --> 00:35:06,319 Speaker 1: in Apple. But yet the CEO of Apple is saying 640 00:35:06,360 --> 00:35:10,319 Speaker 1: that there's no conflict minerals in their products. I've got 641 00:35:10,360 --> 00:35:12,560 Speaker 1: an Apple product here, but I've seen the minds where 642 00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,520 Speaker 1: the products come from, and there's children working in those minds. 643 00:35:16,040 --> 00:35:18,360 Speaker 1: So if we're against child labor here, why are we 644 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,560 Speaker 1: not against child labor there? But black folk would rather 645 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,439 Speaker 1: be like, Hey, I'm going to put some investments in Nike. 646 00:35:23,480 --> 00:35:24,960 Speaker 1: I'm want to put some investments in Apple I'm going 647 00:35:25,000 --> 00:35:26,839 Speaker 1: to put some investments in Tesla.

But 660 00:36:00,719 --> 00:36:03,200 Speaker 1: at the same time, and this is what I always 661 00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,520 Speaker 1: explain to people about primary, secondary, and tertiary economy. Not 662 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:12,200 Speaker 1: so many black folk owned primary economy. Primary economy is resources, 663 00:36:12,360 --> 00:36:16,560 Speaker 1: It is agriculture, it is land right. Secondary economy is 664 00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:21,640 Speaker 1: turning that those resources into something, is manufacturing, is making products. 665 00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,160 Speaker 1: And then the tertiary economy is where we're so focused, 666 00:36:24,200 --> 00:36:28,960 Speaker 1: where this whole rap battle exists, is goods and services 667 00:36:29,520 --> 00:36:32,840 Speaker 1: and entertainment. How is it that we don't own the 668 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:37,279 Speaker 1: entertainment industry because we don't own enough agriculture, We don't 669 00:36:37,360 --> 00:36:40,520 Speaker 1: own enough factories to be able to then have a 670 00:36:41,160 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: flourishing entertainment industry that we own. You need to own. 671 00:36:44,880 --> 00:36:46,919 Speaker 1: There's steps to being able to get to the top 672 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:50,360 Speaker 1: of this world domination, and we don't own it. Like 673 00:36:50,440 --> 00:36:52,879 Speaker 1: where's the black military? Look at how many people here 674 00:36:53,040 --> 00:36:56,839 Speaker 1: have been in the military, served in Iraq, served in Afghanistan, 675 00:36:57,400 --> 00:37:00,440 Speaker 1: left the military, and a homeless on the street. But 676 00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:07,200 Speaker 1: security company, a security industry is the biggest industry in Somalia. 677 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,600 Speaker 1: I don't know no black folks that are involved in that. Wow, 678 00:37:11,040 --> 00:37:12,719 Speaker 1: I don't know no black folks that are involved in that. 679 00:37:13,200 --> 00:37:17,560 Speaker 1: I was in the military and my training and the 680 00:37:17,640 --> 00:37:19,800 Speaker 1: people that I know. If somebody came to me we 681 00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:22,560 Speaker 1: have planned and came to me and said, hey, can 682 00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 1: you create as a security company in an African country? 683 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:28,800 Speaker 1: Were like, yeah, all right, cool, we'll do it.

Right, So a lot of 688 00:37:41,360 --> 00:37:44,160 Speaker 1: most black folk that get to a certain level of wealth. 689 00:37:44,239 --> 00:37:46,120 Speaker 1: They don't live in the hood, they don't go to 690 00:37:46,200 --> 00:37:48,680 Speaker 1: the hood. They ain't going back there, they ain't doing 691 00:37:48,840 --> 00:37:51,080 Speaker 1: anything there.

But people are 842 00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:10,560 Speaker 1: leaving afterwards because they got to go back to a 843 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:12,280 Speaker 1: job that they don't like and live in a country 844 00:45:12,320 --> 00:45:13,440 Speaker 1: in a house that they don't want to be in, 845 00:45:13,800 --> 00:45:15,960 Speaker 1: and they're paying stupid rent, Like look at the cost 846 00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:18,880 Speaker 1: of living here, and then you're liveing in some like 847 00:45:19,840 --> 00:45:22,560 Speaker 1: you're living in a in a phone booth, you're living 848 00:45:22,560 --> 00:45:25,320 Speaker 1: in a desk cubicle. But this is this is a 849 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:28,040 Speaker 1: studio apartment. You're paying two thousand and three thousand dollars 850 00:45:28,120 --> 00:45:28,279 Speaker 1: for it. 851 00:45:28,840 --> 00:45:29,320 Speaker 3: And then. 852 00:45:30,719 --> 00:45:34,680 Speaker 1: I am going to restart the Fruit Company because I 853 00:45:34,719 --> 00:45:36,440 Speaker 1: had to put it on hold while I built this 854 00:45:36,520 --> 00:45:40,439 Speaker 1: village in Congo. The I'm trying to make the village 855 00:45:40,440 --> 00:45:44,120 Speaker 1: in Congo completely self sustainable so that the people there 856 00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:48,000 Speaker 1: are able to produce soap, to produce furniture, produce things 857 00:45:48,040 --> 00:45:51,719 Speaker 1: that can look after all the kids. Because when you're 858 00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:53,759 Speaker 1: brought a child and both their parents have been killed, 859 00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:55,960 Speaker 1: that's your child now, so you have to figure out 860 00:45:55,960 --> 00:45:57,520 Speaker 1: a way to look after that kid. So that's what 861 00:45:57,600 --> 00:46:00,799 Speaker 1: we've been doing there in Congo. But what I want 862 00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:02,480 Speaker 1: to do, and this is maybe something that you could 863 00:46:02,520 --> 00:46:04,560 Speaker 1: be involved in and you could be involved in. I 864 00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:09,200 Speaker 1: want to restart the Black Panthers People's free food program 865 00:46:09,360 --> 00:46:11,719 Speaker 1: and the Breakfast Club. I want to restart that. I 866 00:46:11,800 --> 00:46:15,880 Speaker 1: want to restart that with because one of my friends, 867 00:46:16,280 --> 00:46:19,040 Speaker 1: Colin Kaepernick, and there's a lot of good brothers out 868 00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:20,719 Speaker 1: there as well, and good sisters who've helped me along 869 00:46:20,760 --> 00:46:23,960 Speaker 1: the way. Colin Kaepernick is one of them. Lenny Kravitz 870 00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:26,719 Speaker 1: is another one of them. Kyrie irving big support, Like 871 00:46:26,840 --> 00:46:28,880 Speaker 1: he gave us one hundred k to the village. He 872 00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,160 Speaker 1: didn't put it on Instagram, he didn't say anything. But 873 00:46:31,280 --> 00:46:33,680 Speaker 1: we use that to build ten houses for people, right. 874 00:46:35,239 --> 00:46:35,960 Speaker 3: Is he? 875 00:46:36,719 --> 00:46:40,520 Speaker 1: Kaepernick started the Your Rights Camp, Know Your Rights Camp, 876 00:46:40,880 --> 00:46:44,040 Speaker 1: and they've been teaching kids their rights. But I think 877 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:46,239 Speaker 1: that we should be going further than that, and every 878 00:46:46,360 --> 00:46:49,560 Speaker 1: single inner city school in North America should be able 879 00:46:49,640 --> 00:46:52,240 Speaker 1: to get natural fruits and natural foods to kids before 880 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:57,520 Speaker 1: they get on that school problem program where they're about 881 00:46:57,560 --> 00:47:00,800 Speaker 1: to eat some eggs and ham and some bread and 882 00:47:00,880 --> 00:47:03,160 Speaker 1: some pizza and that's that food, and then we wonder 883 00:47:03,160 --> 00:47:04,680 Speaker 1: why the kids are running around and being crazy. 884 00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:05,960 Speaker 3: But we can definitely do that. 885 00:47:06,040 --> 00:47:09,400 Speaker 2: I just started an initiative with the Food Bank NYC 886 00:47:10,400 --> 00:47:12,120 Speaker 2: for the same reason. I wanted to do the same thing. 887 00:47:12,680 --> 00:47:14,520 Speaker 2: We're the Breakfast Club.
