1
00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:11,960
Speaker 1: A media. Okay, America just alongside Israel and Argentina just

2
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 1: continues to be like fuck your dead homies type being

3
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:39,840
Speaker 1: with me. Okay. So this week, Ghana approach the UN

4
00:00:40,760 --> 00:00:47,680
Speaker 1: to acknowledge the atrocity of the Transatlantic slave trade. Right,

5
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 1: can we just at least acknowledge that this was at

6
00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 1: least top ten, at least top five have the greatest

7
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 1: human atrocities right to condemn the enslavement of millions of

8
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: Africans in the Transatlantic slave trade? Right now? Ed, if

9
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: y'all know a single second of history, you have to

10
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:28,040
Speaker 1: remember this was from sixteen nineteen till the Emancipation Proclamation,

11
00:01:28,160 --> 00:01:30,679
Speaker 1: we could say was the Transatlantic slave trade. So we're talking,

12
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: you know, two to three hundred years right, One hundred

13
00:01:35,280 --> 00:01:41,000
Speaker 1: and twenty three nations voted in favor of condemning the

14
00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:45,920
Speaker 1: enslavement of African American slaves. There are three countries that

15
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 1: voted against it, USA, Israel, and Argentina, and nearly all

16
00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: of Europe abstained. Y'all wonder why won't trust white people?

17
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,840
Speaker 1: This is why when y'all talk about you want to

18
00:01:58,880 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: go uh vacation and other. This this what we be

19
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:14,839
Speaker 1: talking about. Okay, you can't even acknowledge, Now what does

20
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 1: this UN resolution do or mean? Right, It don't mean

21
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:23,280
Speaker 1: we finally get in reparations, right, because we're not gonna

22
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:28,280
Speaker 1: get reparations with Yahday made it very clear. Listen, they

23
00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: made it very clear. I'm explaining a little bit more later,

24
00:02:31,480 --> 00:02:34,200
Speaker 1: but uh, what we're saying is like this was the

25
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: gravest crime against humanity. Why Ghana brought it is because

26
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: the vast majority of people who were captured and dropped

27
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: off all up and down the Americas were from Western

28
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:56,760
Speaker 1: Africa or specifically Ghanaians. Right, it's not legally binding and

29
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 1: no one really has to do anything. You just acknowledging

30
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,840
Speaker 1: that that shit was trash. The trade trafficked over twelve million.

31
00:03:07,440 --> 00:03:13,360
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this again, twelve million. Why are there

32
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: black people in Brazil, in Colombia, in Haiti, and like

33
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: why are we here? Just I don't know if you

34
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,840
Speaker 1: can understate I feel like the Transatlantic slave trade the

35
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:34,119
Speaker 1: phrase doesn't do it justice. What we mean by this.

36
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 1: It would take me a semester to it to start

37
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: just unpacking the depth of evil that was. Maybe I

38
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: could just like drop a piece of the depravity in there.

39
00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:55,680
Speaker 1: One of the punishments for if you actually made it

40
00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:03,840
Speaker 1: across the ocean, for let's say, not filling your barrel

41
00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:10,480
Speaker 1: with hay or giving your overseers some attitude is they

42
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: would take one slave, Isn't that? Maybe not on every plantation,

43
00:04:15,040 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 1: but it would take one slave black person and make

44
00:04:22,800 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 1: you defecate into the mouth of another one as a

45
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:39,120
Speaker 1: means of punishment. Just it'd be stuff like that. It'd

46
00:04:39,120 --> 00:04:56,080
Speaker 1: be little stuff like that that just I can't. I can't, dude,

47
00:04:56,279 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 1: for some reason, and we are still feeling the effects

48
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 1: to this to this day, which is what is so

49
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: frustrating about it. I can't talk about the collective identity

50
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:13,120
Speaker 1: of the European nations, but I can talk about America.

51
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:19,000
Speaker 1: I could talk about the USA. I believe a high

52
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:27,720
Speaker 1: percentage of the decay of our government to fall into fascism.

53
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: The issue, like the high percentage of the issues America

54
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:43,279
Speaker 1: faces economy, education, politics, divisiveness, poverty, and obviously inequality and racism,

55
00:05:43,440 --> 00:05:49,680
Speaker 1: is because you just can't admit you wrong. There is

56
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:56,440
Speaker 1: aversion to guilt. It reminds me of my daughter, my

57
00:05:56,560 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: youngest daughter. On Saturday morning, she has to clean her

58
00:06:00,040 --> 00:06:05,839
Speaker 1: room and she has a full panic attack, not being

59
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:10,760
Speaker 1: I'm not being facetious. She has a panic attack every

60
00:06:10,800 --> 00:06:15,920
Speaker 1: Saturday morning, and because she is so overwhelmed with how

61
00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: bad the mess is. So I tell her every week, hey, listen,

62
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:25,520
Speaker 1: after you clean your room, just throughout the week, when

63
00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:29,880
Speaker 1: you take stuff out, just put it back, and you

64
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,120
Speaker 1: know it's coming. Every week she has a meltdown and

65
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,440
Speaker 1: then she looks at me and says, her room's not dirty.

66
00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:40,479
Speaker 1: I mean, this shit everywhere. But she's like, my room

67
00:06:40,560 --> 00:06:48,559
Speaker 1: is not dirty and gets an absolute ungovernable when I say,

68
00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 1: yes it is, go clean it. But we're looking at

69
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,719
Speaker 1: the same room. She her mind because of what it's

70
00:06:55,760 --> 00:07:01,520
Speaker 1: going to take and what it means in the extent

71
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:03,560
Speaker 1: that this is gonna take, This is gonna take a

72
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,960
Speaker 1: couple hours from her day. She did this to herself.

73
00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,680
Speaker 1: But if you would just address it, we'd be done.

74
00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 1: There's so many other things that could happen after that.

75
00:07:15,880 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: You can now get some screen time. I don't know,

76
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:22,280
Speaker 1: maybe we could go on an excursion during the day.

77
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: I don't know. The point I'm trying to make is

78
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:29,360
Speaker 1: just look at it. America still can't look at it.

79
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:35,280
Speaker 1: I mean, police brutality, Like if you would just look

80
00:07:35,320 --> 00:07:40,400
Speaker 1: at it and just be like, yeah, dog, we were wrong. Now,

81
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 1: according to the United States that voted against this, they said, oh,

82
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:47,800
Speaker 1: we didn't have enough time to look at this resolution.

83
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Resolution been on the board for years. They've had it

84
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,800
Speaker 1: for a long time. You just don't want to admit it.

85
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:59,240
Speaker 1: The issue is why I say it still matters, is

86
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 1: because our money. Why America you think you keep blaming

87
00:08:07,400 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: the fifties, you keep thinking, you keep thinking we became

88
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 1: the superpower that we did because of World War Two

89
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:24,160
Speaker 1: in manufacturing fam for the first hundred years, we didn't

90
00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 1: pay the workforce. I just like, I don't understand why

91
00:08:29,880 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: that don't why the math don't math for y'all our

92
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: wealth is built on slavery. Like, I just don't understand

93
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: why you don't understand that Germany paid reparations after World

94
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,240
Speaker 1: War One. In twenty ten, it paid over eighty nine

95
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:52,080
Speaker 1: billion dollars in Holocaust survivors. The US paid one point

96
00:08:52,120 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 1: six billion dollars to the Japanese after the internment camps.

97
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:02,480
Speaker 1: We've paid reparations before, but not for the Niggers. We

98
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:07,640
Speaker 1: will not apologize for that. It's not that this resolution

99
00:09:07,840 --> 00:09:10,680
Speaker 1: was going to do anything. It's not gonna make anybody

100
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:15,560
Speaker 1: pay reparations, it's not going to change any law. Can

101
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:23,840
Speaker 1: you just at least acknowledge that you was wrong. No

102
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,040
Speaker 1: tap in with me,
