1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:01,680
Speaker 1: It's time for donkeys to day.

2
00:00:02,240 --> 00:00:04,280
Speaker 2: I'm ain't trying to beat donkey today no more.

3
00:00:04,360 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: They should be embarrassed by what they already did. I'm

4
00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:08,559
Speaker 1: not making new people do these days called donkey of

5
00:00:08,680 --> 00:00:12,480
Speaker 1: the day, and it really caught me off guard. Damn Charlomagne,

6
00:00:12,600 --> 00:00:16,279
Speaker 1: who got the donkey out of day to day? Well,

7
00:00:16,360 --> 00:00:19,000
Speaker 1: jess Alariu's donkey today for Friday, November eighth. Goloes to

8
00:00:19,079 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: whoever is sending out these racist text messages referencing slavery. Now,

9
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:25,759
Speaker 1: if you haven't heard all day yesterday in black group

10
00:00:25,840 --> 00:00:28,560
Speaker 1: chaps across America, texts were being shared and it was

11
00:00:28,600 --> 00:00:31,640
Speaker 1: text messages that folks were receiving that were telling negroes

12
00:00:31,840 --> 00:00:34,720
Speaker 1: report to your nearest plantation. I'm not making this up.

13
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:36,559
Speaker 1: Yesterday I had quite a few people hit me up

14
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:41,240
Speaker 1: concerned because they were receiving text messages like this. Good evening, Isaiah.

15
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:43,760
Speaker 1: You have been selected to become a slave patient at

16
00:00:43,760 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 1: your nearest plantation. Please be clean and ready by three

17
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:49,720
Speaker 1: am tomorrow. No need to bring essentials nor close, as

18
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: you will be handed worker clothes. You will be picked

19
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: up in a white van by a Trump representative after

20
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: escorted you will be script indeed down upon arrival. Don't cooperate,

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,120
Speaker 1: belt the app and lynched immediately. Your name will be

22
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: your name will further be a race than giving a number.

23
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 1: Your number is slave five, and you'll be a part

24
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,520
Speaker 1: of slave see group. Thank you now, I'm gonna be

25
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: honest with you. When I first read this, I said

26
00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:13,800
Speaker 1: to myself, people play too much. And I'm not even

27
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: sure this is a white person, because I've never heard

28
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:18,240
Speaker 1: a white person say belt the ass But if this

29
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:20,880
Speaker 1: week's election showed us anything, it's that we can we

30
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: can't assume what certain racial groups do anymore. But I

31
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 1: brushed that text off until I had a few more

32
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:28,160
Speaker 1: people send me those text messages, and then I realized

33
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: it was a thing. Did anyone in this room receive

34
00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 1: a text message telling them to go back to the plantation?

35
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: Near a plantation you should go to? They said, d down,

36
00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 1: I know you need that, damn.

37
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 2: When you get some free days to be a slave.

38
00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:47,280
Speaker 1: Now, when you take that wig off and you see

39
00:01:47,319 --> 00:01:57,040
Speaker 1: them corn rolls, let's go. Let's go to NBC for

40
00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:57,520
Speaker 1: the public.

41
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:00,640
Speaker 2: Karein Freeman was at home with her kids on Wednesday

42
00:02:00,760 --> 00:02:03,440
Speaker 2: when she got a text from a number she didn't recognize.

43
00:02:03,960 --> 00:02:08,520
Speaker 3: It was this odd, ominous, feeling text message basically saying, Hello,

44
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:11,880
Speaker 3: You've been selected to be a slave on a plantation

45
00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: and your schedule to get picked up on at twelve

46
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:17,680
Speaker 3: am on November thirteenth.

47
00:02:17,880 --> 00:02:20,720
Speaker 2: And She's not alone. Social media sites have been flooded

48
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:23,240
Speaker 2: with people from New York to Florida who say they've

49
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:27,120
Speaker 2: gotten these racist messages. Freeman and others believe the text

50
00:02:27,320 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: may have been sparked by the current political climate. The

51
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,200
Speaker 2: wording of the text appear to differ. Some have misspellings,

52
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 2: others address individuals by name, but the theme is consistent,

53
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:41,040
Speaker 2: telling recipients they've been selected to pick cotton. All of

54
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,919
Speaker 2: the people NBC who spoke to who got these messages

55
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,839
Speaker 2: are black. For recipients like Karn Freeman, the digital aim

56
00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 2: is fueling her real world concerns.

57
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:54,359
Speaker 4: I am overwhelmed with anxiety and fear about how I'm

58
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:57,480
Speaker 4: going to help my children make sense of the world

59
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 4: that they have to navigate as black children.

60
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,080
Speaker 1: Now a few things. Number One, how they get all

61
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: these people's phone numbers. Number two, This is probably not

62
00:03:05,520 --> 00:03:07,480
Speaker 1: as widespread as people think. One or three people got

63
00:03:07,560 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: a text posted it online, and then everyone took the

64
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: same text and started acting like it was senter in personally.

65
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,600
Speaker 1: In three and this is the biggest one and the

66
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:17,600
Speaker 1: reason I'm doing this as donkey of today. Let's just

67
00:03:17,720 --> 00:03:21,399
Speaker 1: assume these are Trump supporters. Let's just assume these are conservatives.

68
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: Answer me this one question. Why do you want to

69
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:26,679
Speaker 1: prove people right? Donald Trump won? He is going to

70
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,120
Speaker 1: be the forty seventh president of the United States of America.

71
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:31,399
Speaker 1: He won. Fan square looked like you want the popular vote,

72
00:03:31,400 --> 00:03:33,880
Speaker 1: the electoral college. Republicans wanted to send it, you might

73
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:36,680
Speaker 1: win the House. America made a choice. The last thing

74
00:03:36,800 --> 00:03:39,160
Speaker 1: any of any of you all should be doing is

75
00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:42,880
Speaker 1: proving all your critics right. Okay, so many different people

76
00:03:42,920 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: say the only reason Trump won is because America is

77
00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: a racist country. Huffington Post said Trump ran the most

78
00:03:47,560 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: racist campaign in modern history, and he won. So many

79
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,560
Speaker 1: people say, oh, Trump supporters are biggest and racist. Why

80
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,040
Speaker 1: are you idiots proving them right?

81
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:54,320
Speaker 4: Now?

82
00:03:54,440 --> 00:03:56,800
Speaker 1: Mind you, I know these folks are playing, but if

83
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: you are a Trump supporter, you should denounce this, unless,

84
00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: of course you don't care, unless of course you agree

85
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: with whatever the text is saying. But the real moral

86
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 1: of the story is this is exactly the opposite of

87
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 1: what I told you all should happen. Y'all not tied

88
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,640
Speaker 1: or arguing and fighting. There will be a lot of

89
00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,560
Speaker 1: real battles that we need to fight in the future.

90
00:04:12,600 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: The last thing we need to be doing is fighting

91
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,839
Speaker 1: amongst each other. Okay, we don't need to be rilling

92
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: each other up with this petty foolishness.

93
00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 2: I literally had.

94
00:04:19,680 --> 00:04:22,279
Speaker 1: People hitting me up concerned about this because they honestly

95
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:24,680
Speaker 1: don't know what the Trump presidency will bring. And then

96
00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:26,920
Speaker 1: I had some guys who will remain nameless even though

97
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: they're sitting in this room excited right now. But they

98
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,960
Speaker 1: were excited because they was told to report some way

99
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: to get deed down. Okay, so listen to all listen.

100
00:04:34,600 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 1: I just wanna tell all Trump supporters, everyone who voted

101
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,599
Speaker 1: for Trump, if you really dislike liberals, if you really

102
00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,520
Speaker 1: don't like Democrats and they woke ideologies, and simply do

103
00:04:43,680 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 1: one thing, prove them wrong by not doing dumb ass,

104
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: cheap ass, racist ass stunts like this. Please give whoever

105
00:04:51,320 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: is sending out these racist text messages telling people to

106
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 1: report to the plantation the biggest he hull.

107
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:01,880
Speaker 3: And be looking so unbothered right now, because he's gonna

108
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:02,960
Speaker 3: be in the house when it's go down.

109
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:07,120
Speaker 1: You a house, how much like report we had to

110
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:07,720
Speaker 1: get ded down?

111
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:10,480
Speaker 2: Please, you're gonna be there with me and look at.
