Speaker 1: You could leave it to Hove to capture an entire
Speaker 1: sentiment in less than ten words, four or four or
Speaker 1: four record He say, oh J, like I'm not black,
Speaker 1: I'm o J. Okay, let's talk about the cops testimony
Speaker 1: to Congress about the January six insurrection. Who politics, y'all?
Speaker 1: How you so who right now? Little politics? Y'all? Food politics?
Speaker 1: Who him just being like, okay, every person of color
Speaker 1: understood that completely. He talked about O J. Simpson and
Speaker 1: the O J. Simpson trial like this stop chial captured
Speaker 1: the imagination of America everywhere. This was the first like
Speaker 1: televised high speed chase. It was twenty four hour coverage
Speaker 1: of the O J. Simpson trial. Um because O J
Speaker 1: was such a darling. He was if you don't know
Speaker 1: how young you are, if you don't notice, I mean,
Speaker 1: it's like, let me just back up. Like O J. Simpson,
Speaker 1: USC Raider, football player, running back, Heisman Trophy winner, just
Speaker 1: in every commercial, every movie, every everything, just a huge
Speaker 1: star blood him some white girls though he was totally
Speaker 1: under the white girls. And this look worst kept secret.
Speaker 1: As the young revolutionary Huey from Boondocks said, Yes, the
Speaker 1: government has conspired to put many innocent black men in prison,
Speaker 1: but I Kelly is not one of them. The episode
Speaker 1: was about har Kelly, but I'm saying another line he
Speaker 1: said in that was every nigga in jail, Aine Nelson,
Speaker 1: Man Della. So I'm not sure oh J is one
Speaker 1: of them. I think he really did kill that woman.
Speaker 1: Uh so he killed his lady, Nicole Brown Simpson and
Speaker 1: that wasn't proven, but it I just I think he
Speaker 1: did it. Dog. But anyway, that's besides the point. The
Speaker 1: attitude he had. This is a quote he was like, well,
Speaker 1: I'm not black, I'm O J. Simpson, I'm oh J.
Speaker 1: And everybody around him. And then when and all of
Speaker 1: us heard that, and when nigga you think you different?
Speaker 1: I remember my black panther Pops was like, nah, he
Speaker 1: ain't really one of us. You really think you you
Speaker 1: really think you different? Are you serious? You ain't black? You? Okay,
Speaker 1: let's get look hope say light nigga, dark, nigga, fuck, nigga, real, nigga, rich, nigga,
Speaker 1: pol nigga, house, nigga, field, nigga, still nigga, Light nigga, dark, nigga, fuck, nigga, real, nigga, rich, nigga,
Speaker 1: pol nigga, house nigga, field nigga, You're still a nigga.
Speaker 1: I don't know what made you think in the planet
Speaker 1: that we live on, in the nation, we in that
Speaker 1: somehow or another, the money you don't made, the fame
Speaker 1: you didn't gather. Now, the badge you wearing, the uniform
Speaker 1: you in. Really, when it comes down to it, they
Speaker 1: don't see you nothing more than a well dressed nigga.
Speaker 1: Even listen, do you know the house nigger is? Now?
Speaker 1: Before I finished this, I'm not calling cops house niggas. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's terrible. I would never say that to another black
Speaker 1: man unless he needed it. House nigga usually were more
Speaker 1: fair skinns is from the slavery times. They were usually
Speaker 1: more fair skinned, right, and they were the help that
Speaker 1: was inside the house. So these were like your major butlers.
Speaker 1: They were much more in the eyes of the Europeans,
Speaker 1: a little more attractive, little more fair skin. They were
Speaker 1: treated better because they were like these were prized possessions.
Speaker 1: You know, they ain't your paper plates, you know what
Speaker 1: I'm saying. These this is your fine china niggas, the
Speaker 1: field niggas, these are the ones outside were dark, were
Speaker 1: working in the sun. I say we because with my complexion,
Speaker 1: I'd be a field nigga. You know I say that
Speaker 1: with no tongue in cheek. I say that factually I'm
Speaker 1: not fair, skin enough, my hair too nappy, but I
Speaker 1: wouldn't be in the house. But if you're not careful
Speaker 1: because massing them treating you nicer because your clothes a
Speaker 1: little better than us, because you're bed a little more comfortable,
Speaker 1: because you're you're you're played a little more full than ours,
Speaker 1: it may lead you to believe, especially some of the mammies,
Speaker 1: like I'm saying mammies, I'm I'm saying this on purpose
Speaker 1: because you take care of their children, and their children
Speaker 1: love you. And maybe your daughter and their daughter maybe
Speaker 1: play together because they're the same age. But you can't
Speaker 1: ever lose sight from the fact that you property. You
Speaker 1: gotta gonna ever be family. You're you're nice furniture, and
Speaker 1: a good number of our strong ancestors remembered that, and
Speaker 1: they kept their wits about him. Was like, Okay, I'm
Speaker 1: doing this job, but I'm never forgetting the place that
Speaker 1: I really hold with y'all. This ain't really family, rich nigga,
Speaker 1: pol Nigga house, Nigga field, nigga, you're still a nigga.
Speaker 1: And I'm positive as officers out there who kept their
Speaker 1: wits about themselves too, they understand how crooked this system is.
Speaker 1: Hell My own daddy, after he kind of grew up
Speaker 1: from his his twenties revolutionary age, he decided to become
Speaker 1: a probation officer. He worked with under age offenders, worked
Speaker 1: with juveniles, and he said, in the whole thirty years
Speaker 1: he was there, he never recommended jail time. His caseload
Speaker 1: was ginormous because he just wanted to keep these young
Speaker 1: black and brown kids under his care to try to
Speaker 1: protect them from the system. And of course he left
Speaker 1: that thing, you know, with some successes and some failures,
Speaker 1: but he remembered he told me plenty of times that
Speaker 1: officers were hell of racist to him, and he had
Speaker 1: to come out there and be like, nigg I'm from
Speaker 1: the streets. I'll knock you out like you don't talk
Speaker 1: to me that way, and you're not going to treat
Speaker 1: this kid unfair, you know. But he left going like yo,
Speaker 1: the whole thing. I mean, I was only one person
Speaker 1: in a broken cop But you remembered I'm still a
Speaker 1: black man in America now, So for today, I want
Speaker 1: to get into the specifics of this January six Insurrection commission.
Speaker 1: Four more officers have died by suicide. These brothers is traumatized,
Speaker 1: brothers and sisters is messed up. Now, Um, we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about what that does to a person in a
Speaker 1: hood lens. And I want to ask a bigger question
Speaker 1: about being black or brown and working in the system.
Speaker 1: And I say this as someone that does in the
Speaker 1: sense that this I heart radio. It's corporate as hell.
Speaker 1: You think I don't know that, you hope said as
Speaker 1: someone who's had my own square's with the law and
Speaker 1: at the same time, I'm a product of interventions. It's complicated, y'all.
Speaker 1: That's what comes with being a brown person out here.
Speaker 1: Are we always in a situation where we just have
Speaker 1: to swim in toxic waters, you know, like we talked
Speaker 1: about with um capitalism. It's like we're in the ocean.
Speaker 1: You might as well swim. What the hell I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do like America's capitalists. There's ads on these shows nigger,
Speaker 1: I sell albums. I sell well, you stream albums, but
Speaker 1: I sell books in and T shirts. A coffee, like
Speaker 1: I sell things because we live in the capitalist even
Speaker 1: though I know capitalism in the way we do it
Speaker 1: is exploited. I don't, so what's the what's the basis?
Speaker 1: Do you try to get in there and do it
Speaker 1: as ethically as possible. Do you become a complete separatist
Speaker 1: and be like the whole things you don't never work out?
Speaker 1: You know. I follow a political party called the Black Party.
Speaker 1: That's like, listen, you know, if this is our system,
Speaker 1: we need to be at the table and maybe rearrange
Speaker 1: the table right and then others, you know, which was
Speaker 1: where my father started. He's not where he ended, but
Speaker 1: it's where he started. Was like, we just need to
Speaker 1: burn the whole table down and start over again. It's
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer. Let's talk about it, though
Speaker 1: there's a bigger question to be asked, and I think
Speaker 1: that this moment really brings it out so doesn't need
Speaker 1: to be readjudicated. January six insurrection. We didn't cover this
Speaker 1: a bunch of times. You've seen in all the news.
Speaker 1: I don't care what anybody says, because it's so damn
Speaker 1: obvious you clearly not being truthful. Trump inside of it,
Speaker 1: he told him, but he told him to go peacefully
Speaker 1: naked to what. Yeah, like you're being delusion or you're
Speaker 1: just trying to protect your boy, which I get's gang gang,
Speaker 1: but it is so obvious it was a green light.
Speaker 1: Everybody heard it. That's why they went and did it.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't go go down there if he ain't. Say
Speaker 1: to everybody that spoke before him, talking real reckless like
Speaker 1: we all knew, they all followed suit, it was me
Speaker 1: is and all these capital officers were saying, No, ain't
Speaker 1: no delusions. This wasn't no secret Antifa. This wasn't no
Speaker 1: BLM like y'all trying to say, which is so crazy.
Speaker 1: Like listen, when you shoot, when you shoot, when you
Speaker 1: let that thing sing, this is hood rules. You let
Speaker 1: that thing sing, you don't no you, you don't blame
Speaker 1: it on nobody else. Nigga, that was me. I did this.
Speaker 1: The hood needs to know that's that's like, that's the
Speaker 1: gang stuff. Like no, just now, of course you don't
Speaker 1: tell the police like you don't tell everybody else, but
Speaker 1: like among the among knows that signed up, niggy, you
Speaker 1: know who did this. You posted know like what you
Speaker 1: what you're doing? Shooting not like, that's ridiculous. So they
Speaker 1: was up there saying either. Then the officers were saying, yeah,
Speaker 1: Trump sent us this is our house. The many actors
Speaker 1: they do what they was doing. They was riding for
Speaker 1: their boss. They was riding for their hood. And remember
Speaker 1: the calculation I was talking about later, when it becomes
Speaker 1: the Republican party, you either ride for the boss or
Speaker 1: ride for the set. They chose both because us it
Speaker 1: seems as though they still believe Trump got a death
Speaker 1: grip on the sets. Apparently apparently he's still in control
Speaker 1: because he got the whole neighborhood. If if if if
Speaker 1: if the if, the IF, the set, if the set
Speaker 1: specifically are the Republicans and in the neighborhood are the
Speaker 1: people that lived there? Remember the sets supposed to represent
Speaker 1: the neighborhood. We're supposed to be protecting y'all from everything else,
Speaker 1: all the other enemies coming in here. Like we we
Speaker 1: you sent us out. We were your foot soldiers. We
Speaker 1: are here fighting for you. And if you believe, if
Speaker 1: this is stuff you believe, then I'm gonna come in
Speaker 1: here and ride for you, and Big Homie can still
Speaker 1: get the whole hood active. Then nigger got the whole
Speaker 1: hood to pull up on your place of work off
Speaker 1: of suggestion. You know what I'm saying, Yo, you better
Speaker 1: get in there and you better follow that nigga lead
Speaker 1: start talking some unbelievably outlandish, reckless, clearly not true bullshit,
Speaker 1: just to make sure you can stay safe, to keep
Speaker 1: your job. Now, it's not them, it was Pelosi, That's
Speaker 1: what they said. We're just like, it's so dub like,
Speaker 1: like do you hear yourself? You hear yourself and you
Speaker 1: know that's not what happened. Okay, so that don't need
Speaker 1: to be readjudicated. We know what the hell happened, and
Speaker 1: we know Trump could have stopped it his boss moves.
Speaker 1: We love you, you're nice guys. We've got a guy
Speaker 1: said go peace ofly, Nick, you knew what the hell
Speaker 1: you were saying, Like, come on, come on, fam, you
Speaker 1: ain't fooling nobody. Well, maybe he fooling something. Now, I
Speaker 1: don't even think I don't even think he fooling nobody.
Speaker 1: I think everybody that's saying the opposite, no exactly what happened,
Speaker 1: Like y'all know we're just out here riding. It's gang gang.
Speaker 1: I ain't feel like no, you don't you know, snitch
Speaker 1: on the set, especially when the heat come. Why do
Speaker 1: you think if they tried to stop this investigation that's
Speaker 1: happening right now is because we know what is because
Speaker 1: we know what happened. Like this ain't like this, ain't clandestined.
Speaker 1: The bug is easy. You know what the hell happened.
Speaker 1: We all know what happened. It's obvious got dog Man
Speaker 1: and some of the foods is so locked in that
Speaker 1: they like now it's bigger than Trump, homie this seventies,
Speaker 1: seventies six all over again. You just you was just
Speaker 1: the spark, my nigga. We're riding, and either you're riding
Speaker 1: or you're not riding. I don't care. I don't care
Speaker 1: if you was born, I don't care if you raised here.
Speaker 1: You what the set or not? You know how I
Speaker 1: know because they had some gallows for Mike Fitz because
Speaker 1: they was like, Mike ain't putting their work that Mike. Look,
Speaker 1: I Mike got a reality check, homeboy. And what I
Speaker 1: think is why he's still not really opening his mouth
Speaker 1: and being like, I can't believe y'all tried to kill me,
Speaker 1: it's because I think he may have some sparkles in
Speaker 1: his eyes about running for president. At some point, he
Speaker 1: trying to think about a future leg I just don't
Speaker 1: get it. Though Muri told you in the Uh, in
Speaker 1: the fear to clap back, that sometime pretended it is important.
Speaker 1: He supposed to pretend like we don't know, and it's
Speaker 1: for our old safety. They'd go right there, there's gonna
Speaker 1: pretend like you don't know. So anyway, Liz Cheney, the
Speaker 1: loan Republican that was willing to be on this thing,
Speaker 1: that was like, fuck your boss, and this is ridiculous.
Speaker 1: They tried to kill us. I'm gonna get to the
Speaker 1: bottom of this. She making her calculations. Now I'm not
Speaker 1: at the table, so I don't understand the fullness of
Speaker 1: her calculations. But they taughtened her as a hero for
Speaker 1: just satan obvious. But that's how the hood worked. Though,
Speaker 1: like it's it's there, like the Democrats are like, that's
Speaker 1: not brave. That's what happened. It's like, well it kind
Speaker 1: of is, though, like it really is. She she got
Speaker 1: a lot, she putting herself in danger in this situation.
Speaker 1: I get it, and I also get that, like somebody
Speaker 1: break into your house sell your TV, sew your PlayStation,
Speaker 1: and you know exactly who it is. At some point
Speaker 1: you like, nigga, you don't love y'all ain't here for me. No,
Speaker 1: NIGGI you did it. I want my give my damn
Speaker 1: PlayStation back, like I don't give no. It takes a
Speaker 1: lot of bravery to do that. I ain't sign up
Speaker 1: for this ship listen, but somebody like myself that was
Speaker 1: more affiliated and not banging, and especially when we moved
Speaker 1: to these Latino communities back when I was out of
Speaker 1: when I was in La Pointe, when I was in Valinda,
Speaker 1: I'm standing there by myself and I'm like, no, that's
Speaker 1: y'all rules. If we're fighting, we're fighting, but like you're
Speaker 1: not feeling like, nah, homie, I don't play these games now.
Speaker 1: I know the rules in the sense that I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna I'm not gonna sing to the cops man like
Speaker 1: because them they're a gang too. I don't care. You're
Speaker 1: just another set. I'm not worried about y'all. I'm talking
Speaker 1: about among us. You want me to pretend like playing
Speaker 1: these rules now, like these young niggers is wild, Like
Speaker 1: now you'd be like they got a whole list of words.
Speaker 1: You can't say no more like I can't say onions.
Speaker 1: I can't say onion rings because that's some sort of
Speaker 1: like gag. I signed up for this, Like I get
Speaker 1: it for y'all. I get it. And if I was
Speaker 1: in y'all's life, I would be like, yeah, that's this respectful,
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna say it to you because I'm like,
Speaker 1: that's your world. If I go into your world, I
Speaker 1: don't get to just act how I want. That's not fair.
Speaker 1: That's your world. If I'm trying to get into your world,
Speaker 1: then yes, I need to respect your rules, your household rules.
Speaker 1: But I'm in my own house. I'm an order on
Speaker 1: your rings, I'll like okay. And I mean, like I said,
Speaker 1: there's a safety and playing the game, but there's also
Speaker 1: a bravery and being like I'm not gonna play this
Speaker 1: with y'all. And that's what Liz Chandey is doing now.
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what her calculation is
Speaker 1: again because I'm not at the table, but I do
Speaker 1: know she's making a calculation. And you a legacy person
Speaker 1: like a Cheney, Yeah you probably uh, you're probably gonna
Speaker 1: be all right now, let's get to the specifics what
Speaker 1: you heard in the testimony of these officers. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: speak specifically about Harry Dunn in his testimony, and then
Speaker 1: an overall kind of feeling about the whole thing. This
Speaker 1: overall feeling of course PTSD this like war. We thought
Speaker 1: we was gonna die, and that we did this for y'all,
Speaker 1: and y'all abandoned us. We rode for you, and you're
Speaker 1: not riding for us. We thought we was cool, not
Speaker 1: only from the Republican lawmaker, but to the people that
Speaker 1: stormed the room. You guys are the patriots, right, You
Speaker 1: were the thin blue line people. You were the support
Speaker 1: our cops, support our troops. People. Now you're talking about
Speaker 1: beating them with their own guns. You're talking about we're
Speaker 1: the traders and you're gonna come in here and threaten
Speaker 1: our lives and overrun us. But I thought you were
Speaker 1: the ones that supported the officers. And then y'all who
Speaker 1: we protected, Joe live Ef, we protected your life. You
Speaker 1: out here telling me I ain't see what I know
Speaker 1: I saw. I'm out here ride for you'll your soldier
Speaker 1: were your soldiers. You ain't gonna ride for us. There's
Speaker 1: a lesson. Nope, because you ain't got no power, my nigga,
Speaker 1: I don't. Here's the sucky lesson. They don't owe you ship.
Speaker 1: They only owe the people that voted for them to
Speaker 1: make it into that position. You ain't the hood, you
Speaker 1: ain't the set. You the help y'all. Niggas don't matter.
Speaker 1: Y'all mattered in the sense that it helped me get elected.
Speaker 1: Niggas don't matter this um. I mean, it's the only
Speaker 1: logical conclusion you can come with. But we we we
Speaker 1: pull triggers for you, and thanks. You're not advantageous no more.
Speaker 1: And you you not. You ain't gang. They are set.
Speaker 1: They gonna keep me employed. You you just work here.
Speaker 1: It's a cold deal. I think that was one of
Speaker 1: the hardest lessons. You thought you was different, You thought
Speaker 1: that badge made you different, and maybe for a lot
Speaker 1: of people to do. And here's what this trial is saying. No,
Speaker 1: I don't now. Harry Dunne, he was talking about get
Speaker 1: the nigger, get the nigger. He was like, I've never
Speaker 1: been called a nigger while I've had my badge on,
Speaker 1: And I just thought to myself, you probably just never
Speaker 1: heard it. Because I'm positive You've been called nigger multiple times,
Speaker 1: just either under their breath or not in your presence.
Speaker 1: I'm positive it's been other black people that's judged you,
Speaker 1: other brown people that judged you for taking that job.
Speaker 1: I mean, somebody probably did call you a house nigger
Speaker 1: for doing this. I mean, I don't know. I just
Speaker 1: think man rich nigga, po nigga, fuck nigga, real nigga,
Speaker 1: I mean, badge nigga, gang nigga, like still nigked. One
Speaker 1: of the other officers that testified, he was saying that
Speaker 1: these people were trying to recruit the white officers today's side.
Speaker 1: The racial element of this is so obvious and it's
Speaker 1: laughable how anyone would try to strug that away. Like
Speaker 1: these people was there, they were outside, They know exactly
Speaker 1: what happened. It was racial epitaphs going everywhere. And then
Speaker 1: one of the one of the most interesting statements one
Speaker 1: of these officers made was like, hey, listen, when I
Speaker 1: was in the field, when a hit man or when
Speaker 1: a hit man does it hit the shooter and the
Speaker 1: guy that called the shot, y'all should both be on
Speaker 1: trial right now. The guy that called the shot sitting
Speaker 1: real lovely nobody want to talk to him about the problem.
Speaker 1: A matter of fact, he just raised eighty two million
Speaker 1: dollars and I feel like this is another one of
Speaker 1: those we're all just pretending things. Mitch. All that like
Speaker 1: you holding the line, and the hood in me respects it.
Speaker 1: That it's like it's gang gang at all costs. The
Speaker 1: consistency don't matter, the facts of the story don't matter,
Speaker 1: the obvious don't matter. N this is what we said,
Speaker 1: and this is my statement. The hood in me respects it.
Speaker 1: The black in me is like, Okay, this man gotta go.
Speaker 1: How do we get rid of these people? How what
Speaker 1: do I need to do? Who do we need to
Speaker 1: put empower? That got the same type of gnas you
Speaker 1: feel me? That would just that that I could put
Speaker 1: some on fiancea in you feel me that's gonna stand
Speaker 1: up there and look him in the face and be like, look, Homi,
Speaker 1: for whatever energy you got, we got, y'all take one,
Speaker 1: We take five. That got that type of energy. I
Speaker 1: don't know who that is. It ain't the Democrats. I
Speaker 1: don't know who they're putting up that's gonna have that
Speaker 1: type of like backbone to be like, Naomi, this is
Speaker 1: what we're talking about. But back to the subject. At
Speaker 1: the end of the day, this investigation is designed to
Speaker 1: get to the bottom of exactly what happened, how do
Speaker 1: we get here, and how do we stop it from
Speaker 1: happening again. That's that's what they're trying to get to,
Speaker 1: right And I think getting to the bottom of this
Speaker 1: is going to find something that, again is so obvious.
Speaker 1: We already know what the hell happened, and we already
Speaker 1: know how we can stop it. It's so easy, easy
Speaker 1: in the sense of we know what it is now.
Speaker 1: It's not easy to actually solve this problem because you
Speaker 1: have disinformation, misinformation. There's too much money to be made
Speaker 1: in disinformation. There's you know, if you tie it all
Speaker 1: to the Q and on stuff, or blame right wing media,
Speaker 1: or blame the internet, blame it. I don't know, you
Speaker 1: can blame a million different things. There's too much. There's
Speaker 1: too many moving parts, which sucks. And in anybody that
Speaker 1: understands and loves history understands that, like it's not like
Speaker 1: it's like we've a civilization has never been here before,
Speaker 1: but it's like it just doesn't end with one side winning.
Speaker 1: It usually ends with all of us losing. But that's
Speaker 1: not what I'm trying to say here. What I think
Speaker 1: the ultimate lesson we earned here and what this is
Speaker 1: really going to do is further enforce the idea that
Speaker 1: the public are the enemy. If you're the officer, it's
Speaker 1: that we are all we have. We are all we
Speaker 1: got because look, this political party didn't ride for us
Speaker 1: when it wasn't politically expedient for them. These people were
Speaker 1: supposed to quote unquote protect and serve turned on us.
Speaker 1: And it's it was the side that was supposed to
Speaker 1: be defending us. Y'all turned on us. So what it
Speaker 1: says is you've just turned them into jeez, you turned
Speaker 1: him into gangs. It turns him into this is how
Speaker 1: someone gets turned to. He was like, you know what, manhood,
Speaker 1: all I got, this set, this block, this all I got.
Speaker 1: An nobody praying for me, anybody coming from me. So
Speaker 1: I'm an ride on the ops and all y'all are
Speaker 1: officially ops. We keep trying to tell y'all in the
Speaker 1: inner city the police is another gang. And I'm saying,
Speaker 1: you're watching, this is how it happens. Like, I mean,
Speaker 1: we all we got, We did a job to protect
Speaker 1: y'all and look what y'all did. You were supposed to
Speaker 1: be on our side. Oh we just oh it's like that,
Speaker 1: Oh we are just niggas. Then, okay, okay, bet there's
Speaker 1: a gang inside of the l A County Sheriff's Department,
Speaker 1: like they're they are a gang. I don't know what
Speaker 1: else to tell you. They even called themselves that the militarization,
Speaker 1: the idea that you treat the public as like this
Speaker 1: is a war zone and I'm using military tactics. Nigger
Speaker 1: do I mean if you if you're looking at it
Speaker 1: like this, you walk away. You got these people saying,
Speaker 1: you got the Republicans saying y'all made this up and
Speaker 1: it wasn't the people. You got these people saying, y'all traders,
Speaker 1: you got this, And it's like, well, damn nigga. All
Speaker 1: we got is other officers. I guess the wonder they
Speaker 1: don't snitch on each other the one that they defend
Speaker 1: each other no won day, even when somebody do something wrong,
Speaker 1: don't nobody stand up and be like that dude's wrong,
Speaker 1: Because look, man, ain't nobody praying for us? I feel
Speaker 1: like that's what I just watched happen. They had that
Speaker 1: lightbulb that like, oh, okay, you ain't got us. We
Speaker 1: still niggas huh rich nigga po nigga. Okay, it's bad.
Speaker 1: You ain't make no difference, alright, bet I think that's
Speaker 1: a dangerous place to go. I think that's a dangerous precedence. Also,
Speaker 1: just think. I mean, in a lot of ways, this
Speaker 1: was the same process a lot of my own boys.
Speaker 1: You just get this feeling that like, okay, y'all little
Speaker 1: only this the only people got my back everybody else's ops.
Speaker 1: I've seen that firsthand. So what's the solution. You got
Speaker 1: sister Corey Bush sitting outside, sleeping outside of the Capitol building,
Speaker 1: trying to get this um legislative body to finally understand
Speaker 1: that y'all are trying to suppress voters. I don't know
Speaker 1: what it's gonna do. But then she hires private security
Speaker 1: to protect herself while she out there. I love that action.
Speaker 1: But she's also the one saying that we need to
Speaker 1: defund the police. And a lot of like ops would
Speaker 1: be like, well, you can't have both. You're gonna pay
Speaker 1: this personal thing to protect you, but you also want
Speaker 1: to defund the police. It's like, not you don't understand
Speaker 1: what we mean by defund What she's trying to say
Speaker 1: is I shouldn't have to hire private security. I don't
Speaker 1: trust the police. The police see me as an op
Speaker 1: day their own game, so I don't trust I've had
Speaker 1: to do this. So what she's trying to say is
Speaker 1: this can't be the way forward that makes sense to me.
Speaker 1: I mean, does that our option? Do we just continue
Speaker 1: to like, try to put it in everybody's face? Do
Speaker 1: you parachute out, try to build your own nation for
Speaker 1: the black nationalists? Correct? Do you do you keep coming
Speaker 1: to the table, keep finding this? I think in a
Speaker 1: lot of ways we can take a page from that.
Speaker 1: Right when conservatism move that go back all the way
Speaker 1: to finish slappily in the in the sixties and seventies.
Speaker 1: Who was just like it just takes a long time,
Speaker 1: you just gotta flood the board. There's enough of us
Speaker 1: in these positions who are willing to continue to push
Speaker 1: forward the things that they know are not necessarily expedient
Speaker 1: but will really help the constituents for which they've been
Speaker 1: put in power to serve. Then overall, over time you
Speaker 1: see ecremental change where we got now. I ain't have
Speaker 1: an overnight. It took a long time. Maybe it's just
Speaker 1: that patience. I mean, I don't know. I don't have
Speaker 1: an answer to moving forward, but I do know again,
Speaker 1: if I'm in the ocean, I'm gonna swim this the
Speaker 1: system you gave me. So I'm gonna continue to check
Speaker 1: the boxes where I can. I'm gonna continue to call
Speaker 1: my congressman, call my people what I'm saying, continue to
Speaker 1: like get behind people running that I think are like
Speaker 1: serving our community is better. I'm gonna push for laws,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna advocate. I'm gonna ma cause them to do
Speaker 1: what I can from my position. I'm gonna keep making
Speaker 1: pods like this from my position. But I think if
Speaker 1: there's one thing this trial shows us, it's that if
Speaker 1: it whatever position you get in, you need to remember
Speaker 1: who you're dealing with. You need to remember how this
Speaker 1: thing see you because if not, Oh man, that fantasy
Speaker 1: gets that fantasy bubble, it gets popped in some of
Speaker 1: the most grossest, in ugly ways. Man, I tell you what, man,
Speaker 1: When I got when I got pressed, when I got
Speaker 1: hood checked by dudes. I grew up with people. We
Speaker 1: was in daycare together, niggas, we went to youth camp.
Speaker 1: It was a youth camp. I member almost got jumped
Speaker 1: in the bathroom at youth camp, Like what was all
Speaker 1: at church? To what I'm saying is like, oh no,
Speaker 1: when no, when we we'ven't taken our sides? You either
Speaker 1: in or out, y'all. This mug was recorded and edited
