Way off topic here, 32 00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:56,400 Speaker 2: but I think this is important. Like I say, oftentimes 33 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,080 Speaker 2: a lot of these y ns, if you will, a 34 00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 2: lot of them, maybe not the young, young ones, but 35 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 2: they kind of romanticized like the nineties gang in turf 36 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,040 Speaker 2: wars and violence from like the eras of oro ogs, 37 00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:13,840 Speaker 2: whether it's the NWA era or like the Snoop Dogg era. 38 00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:17,720 Speaker 2: And truthfully, I would not wish any of those times 39 00:02:18,120 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 2: on my worst enemy. Just the heightened sense of danger 40 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 2: at all times, like you never relaxed, You're just freaking amygdala, 41 00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:28,120 Speaker 2: your lizard brain just always in fight or flight. 42 00:02:28,280 --> 00:02:29,760 Speaker 1: Like I wouldn't wish that on nobody. 43 00:02:29,800 --> 00:02:32,880 Speaker 2: But what I would wish on y'all is our experience 44 00:02:32,960 --> 00:02:35,839 Speaker 2: with art and culture. Man being able to go down 45 00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:39,680 Speaker 2: to Dogtown see these skaters and empty pools and just 46 00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,839 Speaker 2: culture being made. The scene that we kind of came 47 00:02:42,880 --> 00:02:46,400 Speaker 2: out of with like open mics and dance floors. We 48 00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,160 Speaker 2: were out doing participating in hip hop a good five 49 00:02:50,240 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 2: nights a week. That experience. These are friends that I 50 00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:56,079 Speaker 2: still have to this day. Like a lot of the 51 00:02:56,600 --> 00:03:00,240 Speaker 2: leaders like Will I Am and Black Eyed Peas, they 52 00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,120 Speaker 2: were just a part of our scene, you know, And 53 00:03:02,200 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 2: just being in these moments, it's just I feel like 54 00:03:05,880 --> 00:03:10,000 Speaker 2: the famous Juice is supernatural battle, the battle that Eminem 55 00:03:10,040 --> 00:03:13,520 Speaker 2: got discovered on when he battled Otherwise at Elements at 56 00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,160 Speaker 2: the l RA Theater. We just got to witness such 57 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:17,160 Speaker 2: dope culture. 58 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:17,960 Speaker 1: It's amazing. 59 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,440 Speaker 2: Anyway, that's on some personal note, But now let's get 60 00:03:20,480 --> 00:03:32,440 Speaker 2: into this Black Excellence thing. I'm gonna talk to you 61 00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:35,440 Speaker 2: all about something that may not seem like it has 62 00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:40,360 Speaker 2: anything to do with America until you see how deeply 63 00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,800 Speaker 2: American this play will become. And then later on that 64 00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:47,880 Speaker 2: this week when we do the Tapping episode, we're going 65 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:51,600 Speaker 2: to talk about Ryan Coogler and essentially. 66 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 1: The same premise. 67 00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:58,760 Speaker 2: Here is how America feels about black excellence, really how 68 00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 2: the West feels about black caca. Now, as I say this, 69 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,360 Speaker 2: it is important to remember, and I think a great 70 00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:09,800 Speaker 2: example of this would be Ditty, that the government has 71 00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:14,880 Speaker 2: conspired to take down many amazing, strong Black men. This 72 00:04:14,960 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 2: does not make them heroes or innocent. Every nigga in 73 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,880 Speaker 2: jail ain't Nelson Mandela. This is not y'all are not 74 00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:27,320 Speaker 2: all political prisoners. It's just oftentimes when it comes to 75 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:31,039 Speaker 2: the Black community, and I think in brown also, but 76 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:36,520 Speaker 2: I'm speaking right now about the Black community, our whole diaspora, 77 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:42,200 Speaker 2: we're not allowed to have Our heroes. Can't be complicated. 78 00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 2: Our heroes can't have flaws and just be complicated humans 79 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:53,960 Speaker 2: who may have had good intentions or bad intentions or 80 00:04:54,360 --> 00:05:01,840 Speaker 2: anything in between. So Diddy is not one of them. 81 00:05:02,160 --> 00:05:04,160 Speaker 2: So y'all need to be up under the jail. And 82 00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,480 Speaker 2: I'm saying this as an abolitionist, but I am saying 83 00:05:08,960 --> 00:05:12,479 Speaker 2: when we start talking about our heroes, especially people who 84 00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,280 Speaker 2: have fought for the liberation of black people everywhere, somehow 85 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,600 Speaker 2: or another, the West figures out of the way how 86 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:22,560 Speaker 2: to make this man a villain, and that villainry is 87 00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:26,240 Speaker 2: supposed to undermine all of our views for them, y'all 88 00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: would call Black Panthers a terrorist organization. Y'all would, uh 89 00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 2: you know doctor King was a womanizer, which he was. 90 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 2: Malcolm X was racist and hated like we just like 91 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 2: we can't have no Fred Hampton, you know, the Black Messiah. 92 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:40,520 Speaker 1: We can't have nothing. 93 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:45,039 Speaker 2: Our heroes can't be complicated, whereas you allow people like 94 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: you know, Tricky Dick. I mean, just pick a white man. Hell, 95 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:55,800 Speaker 2: Mike Wallas gets to keep his job. Are you talking 96 00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:57,760 Speaker 2: about the man? No, he gets know this man don't 97 00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 2: get to keep his job. He gets transferred to a 98 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:06,359 Speaker 2: different department and in my opinion, a much more fun job. 99 00:06:08,120 --> 00:06:11,760 Speaker 2: Mike Wallace, the hommy that was the Secretary of Defense 100 00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 2: and added the Atlantic Reporter to his group text owned 101 00:06:16,320 --> 00:06:21,720 Speaker 2: signal no less. Rather than getting booted out immediately, they 102 00:06:21,760 --> 00:06:24,600 Speaker 2: send him to be the UN ambassador. Boy, I tell you, 103 00:06:26,040 --> 00:06:28,840 Speaker 2: rich white men just can't fail. Like it is impossible 104 00:06:28,880 --> 00:06:31,880 Speaker 2: for y'all to fail. Y'all got no flaws. And of 105 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:36,880 Speaker 2: course the president himself, well you know he's rough around 106 00:06:36,920 --> 00:06:38,640 Speaker 2: the edges were a criminal. 107 00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:40,560 Speaker 1: But I digress. 108 00:06:41,200 --> 00:06:49,480 Speaker 2: Black excellence independence, it scares the West, and I think 109 00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:51,320 Speaker 2: it scares the West all the way back to the 110 00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 2: land grabs the scramble for Africa. The West needs us, 111 00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:01,360 Speaker 2: and I'm saying us as part of the diaspora, it 112 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,480 Speaker 2: needs us to need them. We see it played out 113 00:07:04,480 --> 00:07:06,280 Speaker 2: in America a little differently. But right now I want 114 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: to talk about abroad and to get into this, I 115 00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,600 Speaker 2: want to start with a little story which I may 116 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:15,160 Speaker 2: have said before.

This man 169 00:10:41,320 --> 00:10:45,760 Speaker 2: said Kadafi was his hero and part of why he 170 00:10:45,880 --> 00:10:49,480 Speaker 2: said that is because he's, like very few African leaders 171 00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:54,719 Speaker 2: dare to not need the West to do what they 172 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:57,200 Speaker 2: gotta do to make sure that they can take care 173 00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:01,640 Speaker 2: of themselves. One thing Momark he was doing is he 174 00:11:01,720 --> 00:11:04,920 Speaker 2: was removing Libya from the World Bank. That was one 175 00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:06,560 Speaker 2: thing he's working. Oh, he was working on a ghostand 176 00:11:06,600 --> 00:11:10,240 Speaker 2: I remember hearing Lewis Farrakahn talk about it. And Lewis 177 00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:16,120 Speaker 2: Farrakhan is a complicated figure here too, but he is 178 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,840 Speaker 2: an example of somebody that's out of our information bubble. 179 00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,760 Speaker 2: The problem a lot of times, even with that understanding 180 00:11:22,840 --> 00:11:25,600 Speaker 2: is in America is the fact that like some of 181 00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,800 Speaker 2: the other information bubbles beat conspiracy theories where it's sound, 182 00:11:28,880 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: where the earth all of a sudden flat, you know. 183 00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:31,040 Speaker 1: What I'm saying. 184 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:34,280 Speaker 2: So like you just it's almost like you don't want 185 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:36,160 Speaker 2: to poke your head out of your circle, just in 186 00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:39,920 Speaker 2: case you run into an old QAnon gamer Gate head 187 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:45,600 Speaker 2: ass if you can you get these moments that make 188 00:11:45,679 --> 00:11:50,559 Speaker 2: you say, oh, I was led to believe, not despite 189 00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,880 Speaker 2: any evidence, but I was led to believe that Momar 190 00:11:54,960 --> 00:12:01,040 Speaker 2: Kadafi was pure evil. And again the nick Cleansing's the 191 00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 2: things for which the murders that might have happened under 192 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:05,880 Speaker 2: his I'm not talking about I'm talking about a person 193 00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:11,040 Speaker 2: look me in the face, a god fearing man from 194 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,640 Speaker 2: the continent essentially told me that you might have a 195 00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:17,320 Speaker 2: story wrong, which is what I have to tell people 196 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:18,400 Speaker 2: all the time about. 197 00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:21,120 Speaker 1: The Black panthers. You might have the story wrong. But 198 00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:23,400 Speaker 1: what we know, what we understand is how I'm gonna 199 00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:24,439 Speaker 1: get into this. 200 00:12:25,320 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 2: Captain here about a small country called Burkino Fasso, Bikino Fasso, 201 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 2: Captain Ibraham Tarrar, and why black excellence scares the West. 202 00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:40,079 Speaker 1: Let's do this. 203 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 2: When it comes to the full African diaspora of African Americans, 204 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:24,240 Speaker 2: black people out here, Caribbean black people, Indian black people. 205 00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:25,520 Speaker 1: African black people. 206 00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,720 Speaker 2: We often define ourselves by where the boat dropped us 207 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:32,320 Speaker 2: off rather than where we were picked up from. 208 00:13:32,880 --> 00:13:33,080 Speaker 1: Right. 209 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:35,040 Speaker 2: That's why you look at a Cuban black man and 210 00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,440 Speaker 2: be like, but I thought you was Latino, and he like, 211 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:40,560 Speaker 2: now that's where we just got dropped off. Where we 212 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:42,920 Speaker 2: came from is the same place you came from. The 213 00:13:42,960 --> 00:13:46,760 Speaker 2: homiemerse Ariman Raus chilling backstage with one of his crip friends, 214 00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,560 Speaker 2: and who's Cuban two? 215 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,680 Speaker 1: And he said. 216 00:13:50,679 --> 00:13:53,559 Speaker 2: People used to always say, hey, but you Cuban while 217 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 2: you look black, he go nigga cause I am black. 218 00:13:58,559 --> 00:13:59,839 Speaker 1: You go down to Columbia, they. 219 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 2: Black as hell, like we got dropped off all across 220 00:14:02,880 --> 00:14:08,720 Speaker 2: the Americas. But with that, oftentimes, because this is just 221 00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:13,920 Speaker 2: a product of imperialism and colonialism, we tend to identify 222 00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,600 Speaker 2: with that group that we got off the boat from 223 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,840 Speaker 2: more than where we started from. We start allowing for 224 00:14:21,920 --> 00:14:26,720 Speaker 2: a lot of divide and conquered type type beats to 225 00:14:26,720 --> 00:14:30,920 Speaker 2: take apart our experience, some of which if once you 226 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:33,240 Speaker 2: start talking, you could kind of understand when you think 227 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:39,040 Speaker 2: about Caribbean black people Haitians, which is a great example 228 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:43,360 Speaker 2: of what I'm about to talk about too. Jamaican's how 229 00:14:43,640 --> 00:14:48,720 Speaker 2: they threw off their slave owners. Like those were successful 230 00:14:49,400 --> 00:14:52,760 Speaker 2: slave rebellions. We didn't do it in America. So in 231 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:56,800 Speaker 2: a lot of it, So sometimes Caribbean of black people 232 00:14:56,880 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 2: kind of look down on us a little bit because 233 00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 2: we couldn't we couldn't do it, you know. In some ways, 234 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 2: Africans oftentimes they get here because they've bought the American dream. 235 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: But they get here and they start succeeding a lot 236 00:15:08,760 --> 00:15:11,880 Speaker 2: of Nigerians especially down in Houston. Some of them end 237 00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 2: up poor, but some of them actually come from wealth. 238 00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:16,520 Speaker 2: Like I know a lot of friends who are like 239 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:19,200 Speaker 2: it's like they say this to not be funny, but 240 00:15:19,240 --> 00:15:22,720 Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, our family is royalty. Back home, it's 241 00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 2: just there's just not a lot of opportunities. So we 242 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: came out here, but like, yeah, back home, my grandparents 243 00:15:27,280 --> 00:15:32,240 Speaker 2: have servants. Like it's because of the wealth disparage, and 244 00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:34,520 Speaker 2: they're like, oh, yeah, we're sending money back to the 245 00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: compound back at home. So when they come here and 246 00:15:37,640 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 2: they get it popping, you know, they they're thinking, how 247 00:15:40,800 --> 00:15:43,600 Speaker 2: come black people don't know how to work? Like, why 248 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,200 Speaker 2: aren't you taking advantage of all of these opportunities you have? 249 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 1: You know. 250 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:55,040 Speaker 2: So there's this misunderstanding of our experiences and how we 251 00:15:55,080 --> 00:16:01,000 Speaker 2: interact with each other that oftentimes becomes a hammer or 252 00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:06,040 Speaker 2: a crowbar that the forces that oppress us continue to 253 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,040 Speaker 2: use on us, and we kind of like sometimes take 254 00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 2: it out of their hands and put it on each other. 255 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,960 Speaker 2: But it seems like we're learning. It seems like we're 256 00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:21,480 Speaker 2: learning that this old tired playbook. Now that the Internet 257 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:24,200 Speaker 2: exists and we can talk to other Africans and Africans 258 00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:26,520 Speaker 2: have come here and they understand. A lot of times, 259 00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,120 Speaker 2: I like, bro I met African people that get to 260 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 2: America and they're like, this is the first time I 261 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 2: even thought about the fact that I was black, because 262 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:35,280 Speaker 2: I live in a black world. Is no such thing 263 00:16:35,320 --> 00:16:38,360 Speaker 2: as black, Like we just don't think about it. You 264 00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:42,040 Speaker 2: realize I was black. I've always been my tribe. But 265 00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:43,560 Speaker 2: you get here you understand like, oh, this is a 266 00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:44,200 Speaker 2: different world. 267 00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:50,360 Speaker 1: You feel me. But anyway, we're starting to learn. 268 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:54,800 Speaker 2: Let me teach y'all about a man, a revolutionary who 269 00:16:54,880 --> 00:17:01,280 Speaker 2: right now is in the scopes of the West and 270 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:09,399 Speaker 2: why Captain Ibraham Tror. I can't say his name because 271 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:14,480 Speaker 2: it's French Tar and like French don't roll off my 272 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:16,480 Speaker 2: tongue like Spanish, I can speak Spanish. 273 00:17:16,480 --> 00:17:17,600 Speaker 1: French is real hard for me. 274 00:17:18,400 --> 00:17:20,720 Speaker 2: Why that man's name is French is because of the 275 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 2: African lamp crab. He is from a small country that 276 00:17:25,760 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 2: is in between. 277 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,000 Speaker 1: It's north of. 278 00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 2: Ghana and it's south of Mali, a small little country 279 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:36,320 Speaker 2: that I'm pretty sure you ain't no existed. You know 280 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 2: how I know you didn't know it existed because I 281 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 2: ain't know it existed. That's how bad are you to listen? 282 00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,439 Speaker 2: That's this space right here, and how big the world is. 283 00:17:47,240 --> 00:17:52,199 Speaker 2: He became the ifso facto leader of Bukina Fasso in 284 00:17:52,480 --> 00:17:57,720 Speaker 2: September of twenty twenty two, but that was because this 285 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:02,880 Speaker 2: was the second military coup that had happened in seven months. 286 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:05,480 Speaker 2: When he came into power, he took out the. 287 00:18:05,480 --> 00:18:06,480 Speaker 1: Dude that. 288 00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,399 Speaker 2: Led the last coup, who he usuly actually worked for, 289 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,240 Speaker 2: named Paul Henry Demba. 290 00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:13,920 Speaker 1: Right. 291 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:18,440 Speaker 2: He led the coop in January of twenty twenty two, 292 00:18:18,920 --> 00:18:23,800 Speaker 2: right toppling the former president who was like just a regular, 293 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:31,399 Speaker 2: regular civilian president named Kabori. Kabor Please please forgive me 294 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:35,359 Speaker 2: for my butchering a y'all's African and French nag. But 295 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:38,280 Speaker 2: the reason why he said he had to remove this 296 00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:41,399 Speaker 2: last military coup guy was because you wasn't doing nothing 297 00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:47,320 Speaker 2: to stop any of the Jihadis and the extremists that 298 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:52,919 Speaker 2: have essentially taken apart our country. What does any of 299 00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:56,200 Speaker 2: this have to do with America, Well, let me tell 300 00:18:56,200 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 2: you what happened. 301 00:18:57,160 --> 00:18:58,040 Speaker 1: A few weeks ago. 302 00:18:58,840 --> 00:19:01,800 Speaker 2: General Michael Langley, he's the head of the US military 303 00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:05,800 Speaker 2: in Africa, said that this man during a US Senate 304 00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:14,200 Speaker 2: hearing Captain Ibraham Charrar was stealing gold and money from 305 00:19:14,280 --> 00:19:18,200 Speaker 2: his people to fatten his pockets so he can stay 306 00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:28,119 Speaker 2: in power. So for some reason, this American general, in 307 00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 2: a discussion about USAID and about soft power that happens 308 00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:38,960 Speaker 2: in foreign countries. We remember again we talked about USAID 309 00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,520 Speaker 2: somehow or another, he put this man in this guy's scope, 310 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:45,359 Speaker 2: and he told him that he was corrupt and that 311 00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:47,879 Speaker 2: he's stealing money from his own people. Now, where have 312 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,639 Speaker 2: we heard that before? And why would you say that 313 00:19:51,720 --> 00:19:55,399 Speaker 2: about him? About this tiny again country that none of 314 00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,440 Speaker 2: y'all ever heard of. I could say that for a fact, 315 00:19:58,560 --> 00:20:01,840 Speaker 2: unless you're from here, you from there, I'm pretty sure 316 00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:04,199 Speaker 2: none of y'all are. I mean, unless you Afro studies 317 00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 2: majors and as in like African West African studies made 318 00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:11,160 Speaker 2: you probably never heard of this thing. Maybe you're from 319 00:20:11,240 --> 00:20:13,359 Speaker 2: Nigeria or Benin so you kind of knew this, but 320 00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 2: or maybe you tapped into the diaspora. But I'm pretty 321 00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:19,919 Speaker 2: sure this man has not crime across your feed until 322 00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:24,040 Speaker 2: this moment. According to the AP, I'm gonna read this 323 00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:29,399 Speaker 2: earlier this month, General Michael Lanley, the head of US 324 00:20:29,400 --> 00:20:33,120 Speaker 2: military in Africa accused Tararar during a US debate semit 325 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 2: it Us during a US Senate committee hearing of using 326 00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:41,280 Speaker 2: Bikino Fossil's gold reserves to benefit the junta at the 327 00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:48,920 Speaker 2: expense of the population. Right, and then crowds and crowds 328 00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 2: and crowds, massive crowds of protests started happening in Bikino FOSSi, 329 00:20:54,119 --> 00:20:56,520 Speaker 2: but in a lot of ways across the African diaspora 330 00:20:56,520 --> 00:21:00,880 Speaker 2: in support of Captain Ibraham. Why if he's so corrupt 331 00:21:01,520 --> 00:21:05,679 Speaker 2: is what has bewitched all these people for them to 332 00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:11,200 Speaker 2: not know something that the American military knows, and why 333 00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:15,760 Speaker 2: does the American military even care? Crowds of protesters gathered 334 00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:19,760 Speaker 2: in the Place of Revolution in Bikina Fosso's capital on Wednesday, 335 00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 2: chanting long Live Captain Charrar, with some holding banners showing 336 00:21:24,400 --> 00:21:30,439 Speaker 2: a photo of General Langley with the word slave written 337 00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,760 Speaker 2: over his head in red marker, essentially they calling him 338 00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:41,480 Speaker 2: a house nigga, and others wave Burkina Fosso and Russian flags, 339 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 2: which we'll talk about in a minute, a close ally 340 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,160 Speaker 2: to the African country, which is probably a hint as 341 00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,320 Speaker 2: to why we started hating on this man, oh Cebe Johnson, 342 00:21:53,480 --> 00:21:57,560 Speaker 2: he's a musician who came to the protests, said he's 343 00:21:57,600 --> 00:22:02,119 Speaker 2: not surprised that the accusations launched by Lang because watch this. 344 00:22:02,640 --> 00:22:07,800 Speaker 2: Colin Powell lied, Iraq was destroyed, Barack Obama lied, Gaddafi 345 00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:11,520 Speaker 2: was killed. But this time the lies won't affect us. 346 00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 2: That's why we tell them we're not against them, but 347 00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:18,119 Speaker 2: we are against the preditation and economic slavery. Now I 348 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:22,159 Speaker 2: want you to key on that word economic slavery and preditation, 349 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:25,920 Speaker 2: and you tell me why America after this man. 350 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:27,360 Speaker 1: So let's back up. 351 00:22:28,400 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 2: So this young man born in nineteen eighty eight, right, 352 00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:34,840 Speaker 2: he graduated valedictorian from his college, and he studied geology 353 00:22:35,359 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 2: and went into the military. 354 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:38,680 Speaker 1: Went into the military later. 355 00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:41,560 Speaker 2: He joined the military in two thousand and nine, graduated 356 00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,520 Speaker 2: in twenty twelve, and was enjoined the artillery. But he 357 00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 2: ain't really really get hot right rocking his little red 358 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 2: beret that throws back to their old There there was 359 00:22:53,520 --> 00:22:57,560 Speaker 2: a revolutionary in the eighties named Tomas, which I'm not 360 00:22:57,600 --> 00:22:59,840 Speaker 2: gonna talk too much time about this, but he's he's 361 00:22:59,840 --> 00:23:02,400 Speaker 2: a essentially like almost like the second Coming. 362 00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:05,960 Speaker 1: Like a like a spass I type character. Without the 363 00:23:06,000 --> 00:23:06,720 Speaker 1: religion around it. 364 00:23:07,080 --> 00:23:09,960 Speaker 2: But he really got hot in twenty fourteen when he 365 00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:14,960 Speaker 2: went to Mali for a UN peacekeeping program called Manusa 366 00:23:15,040 --> 00:23:18,760 Speaker 2: and he fought against Jihadja's jihadis again in ethnic insurgents. 367 00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,439 Speaker 2: Now back to our informational hole we come into. You 368 00:23:23,480 --> 00:23:27,159 Speaker 2: hear the term jihadis, you hear the term ethnic insurgents, 369 00:23:27,200 --> 00:23:30,240 Speaker 2: and you probably think of like a nineties trope, right, 370 00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:33,160 Speaker 2: But what we need to know and need to remember 371 00:23:33,240 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 2: is that these tropes often come out of prejudice and 372 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 2: are way more simplified than they need to be. It's complicated. 373 00:23:41,040 --> 00:23:44,159 Speaker 2: Or when you hear terms like ethnic insurgencies like on 374 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,280 Speaker 2: if you lean more progressive in the left, you think 375 00:23:46,280 --> 00:23:49,639 Speaker 2: of these as like noble freedom fighting savages. But they're 376 00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:51,680 Speaker 2: both racists and incomplete tropes. 377 00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:52,400 Speaker 1: Right. 378 00:23:52,720 --> 00:23:55,120 Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, here's the thing 379 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:00,960 Speaker 2: you wasn't outside, You wasn't in Africa. Like the people 380 00:24:01,040 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 2: he talking about is like the Boko Harum like type beat. 381 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:06,720 Speaker 1: Right. You remember them. 382 00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:10,160 Speaker 2: Dudes that captured the girls from the Little Girls school. 383 00:24:10,160 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 2: It held them hostage. You remember them. When we say jihadis, 384 00:24:13,920 --> 00:24:17,400 Speaker 2: we talk about like offshoot to al Qaeda, Right, We say, 385 00:24:17,400 --> 00:24:20,000 Speaker 2: ethnic insurgencies. These are the people that are fighting back, 386 00:24:20,040 --> 00:24:22,680 Speaker 2: like the street, the street people fighting back. In a 387 00:24:22,720 --> 00:24:26,560 Speaker 2: lot of times, the ethnic insurgencies are harkening back to 388 00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 2: before these random borders were drawn by white people. We've 389 00:24:31,640 --> 00:24:34,880 Speaker 2: been feuding with these people anyway, and this is how 390 00:24:34,920 --> 00:24:37,680 Speaker 2: we can retain retain power because there's only so many 391 00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 2: finite amount of resource and fools get brutal, fools get 392 00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 2: real brutal out there. There's discussions around should Africans accept 393 00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 2: now now that obviously so many years later, should we 394 00:24:50,600 --> 00:24:55,080 Speaker 2: accept these identities, these these national borders that were given 395 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,760 Speaker 2: to them by Europe, Like what do you mean Ghanaian, 396 00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 2: the old Ghana, Ma, Ghana, Mali, and Songhai. Like the 397 00:25:01,560 --> 00:25:06,080 Speaker 2: Ghana Empire is not literally where the nation state of 398 00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,879 Speaker 2: Ghana is, this is named after it. There's a question 399 00:25:09,920 --> 00:25:11,919 Speaker 2: as to like why don't we go back to our 400 00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,720 Speaker 2: ethnic identities. I mean, it'd be the same question of 401 00:25:14,800 --> 00:25:18,760 Speaker 2: like why do any of us identify as being from California, 402 00:25:19,280 --> 00:25:22,040 Speaker 2: you know, or the state that you're from. Those borders 403 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:25,000 Speaker 2: are made up. So there's a discussion where it's like, look, dude, 404 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:28,480 Speaker 2: it is what it is. We are accepting our africanness, 405 00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 2: and it's been so many generations and identities are malleable. 406 00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:35,119 Speaker 2: You feel me like you might be a part of 407 00:25:35,160 --> 00:25:37,399 Speaker 2: this tribe, but if you grew up in the city, 408 00:25:38,359 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 2: you really don't have much connection. Like there's an ancestry, right, 409 00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:47,760 Speaker 2: just like I found my ancestry is Ethiopian. But for 410 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,840 Speaker 2: me to run around here talk about what's habashah like 411 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 2: I would be a poser. That's not really who I am. 412 00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 2: It's my lineage. I wish it's just not true. I 413 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,720 Speaker 2: wish I was at again. I am of African descent. 414 00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:07,200 Speaker 2: I am of the diaspora. So these ethnic insurgencies and 415 00:26:07,240 --> 00:26:12,520 Speaker 2: these jahadas anyway, the violence that these groups like perpetrate 416 00:26:12,760 --> 00:26:17,119 Speaker 2: on what is seeming their own people. It's an unbridled 417 00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:21,080 Speaker 2: violence that, like I just there's not enough words in 418 00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,320 Speaker 2: the English language for me to get your brain around 419 00:26:24,800 --> 00:26:29,320 Speaker 2: the reasoning for their violence. Can be as complicated or 420 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,879 Speaker 2: as simple as you might guess, but it's there. He 421 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:39,560 Speaker 2: was a part of the regular degulars. People say that 422 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 2: he's always been charismatic, but he's but he quiet. He's 423 00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:45,000 Speaker 2: just a good soldier. He went out there and he 424 00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:48,080 Speaker 2: fought against jahadas and when you fight against people that 425 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,920 Speaker 2: are trying to take away your freedoms, you become a hero. 426 00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:54,240 Speaker 2: It just is what it is. So he served a 427 00:26:54,359 --> 00:27:01,280 Speaker 2: part called the three border area. It's mally N and 428 00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:05,920 Speaker 2: Rikino Fasso like. And there's there's a point if you again, 429 00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,919 Speaker 2: if you're looking at the map of Africa, there's a 430 00:27:07,960 --> 00:27:10,160 Speaker 2: point where all three of these countries touch. 431 00:27:10,280 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 1: Now you may remember if you were paying attention. 432 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:16,800 Speaker 2: Nizer has been in the news for the last two 433 00:27:16,920 --> 00:27:20,160 Speaker 2: years because of their issues with Jihadis. 434 00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,080 Speaker 1: It's real over there now. 435 00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,800 Speaker 2: When we talk about Jihadis, I am not talking about Islam. 436 00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:32,200 Speaker 2: I'm talking about these particular just like when I talk 437 00:27:32,680 --> 00:27:35,320 Speaker 2: just like when somebody else talk about Christian. I don't 438 00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:39,960 Speaker 2: mean Trump had asked like, I ain't talking about dim blowhards. 439 00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:44,720 Speaker 2: I'll talk about Mamma Winian now. So you know that 440 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:47,360 Speaker 2: there's a difference, right. I just want to make sure 441 00:27:47,359 --> 00:27:51,240 Speaker 2: that that's being clear. These people are violent Ryan virus, 442 00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,359 Speaker 2: these particular groups that he's like pushing against, and he 443 00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:59,399 Speaker 2: fought under he was made a captain in twenty twenty 444 00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:03,320 Speaker 2: when he fought under or under the leadership of the 445 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:10,080 Speaker 2: guy Paul Henry Domiba, who ended up running the last coup, 446 00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:15,520 Speaker 2: so as he saw his country actually really being overtaken 447 00:28:15,640 --> 00:28:20,560 Speaker 2: by UH Jihadis, like town by town, he was out 448 00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:55,520 Speaker 2: there liberating, freeing these towns. Now, let's pause here and 449 00:28:55,560 --> 00:28:58,240 Speaker 2: talk about, like how anybody gets recruited in any of 450 00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:02,479 Speaker 2: these things anyway. Well, in our network, you got shows 451 00:29:02,520 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 2: like Weird Little Guys, right, and even a lot of 452 00:29:05,120 --> 00:29:09,200 Speaker 2: stuff that they would talk about in various you know, 453 00:29:09,360 --> 00:29:12,400 Speaker 2: bastards episodes of how people get on boarder to this. 454 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,200 Speaker 2: A lot of this has to do a lack of 455 00:29:14,240 --> 00:29:19,560 Speaker 2: resources and a lack of representation and a lack of opportunity. 456 00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,240 Speaker 2: A lot of times when you hear people talk about 457 00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:25,320 Speaker 2: how they join white supremacist movements, it's not so much 458 00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:29,360 Speaker 2: that they had any real issue with any other people. 459 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:32,360 Speaker 2: They just kind of felt like they were victims, that 460 00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,400 Speaker 2: there is in fact a white genocide, that we are 461 00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:38,760 Speaker 2: being a race from the earth, that no one accepts 462 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,320 Speaker 2: the pain that we're going through. And then you spend 463 00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:46,880 Speaker 2: this story and it becomes easy enough to get recruited 464 00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,120 Speaker 2: into because you start believing this story. The same thing 465 00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 2: happens a lot of times with like Muslim extremists or jihadis. 466 00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,720 Speaker 1: It's like you start with. 467 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,480 Speaker 2: This kernel of truth about the way that the West 468 00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 2: feels about Arab nations, Nigga you right, and the opportunities 469 00:30:03,800 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 2: that just are not for you, and that it seems 470 00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:09,160 Speaker 2: that when you just play by the rule, nothing ever 471 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,960 Speaker 2: works for you. Lonely, you can't get no girl, these 472 00:30:11,960 --> 00:30:17,840 Speaker 2: promises of you know, success and wealth. This this paradise 473 00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,160 Speaker 2: that should be yours is not here, So you need 474 00:30:21,200 --> 00:30:23,520 Speaker 2: to go get it. These people have been brainwashed by 475 00:30:23,560 --> 00:30:26,920 Speaker 2: the West. You need to go get yours. Does that 476 00:30:27,000 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 2: sound familiar? Now, these groups that they join, they don't 477 00:30:31,600 --> 00:30:35,080 Speaker 2: be as just like your white supremacist group. They don't 478 00:30:35,080 --> 00:30:39,960 Speaker 2: be as revolutionary as they sell themselves. They just be 479 00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:46,239 Speaker 2: mafia's right.
