Wisdom's Power: Big Malik, Gullah Geechee Challenges & Mentorship's Lasting Impact 🔍🗣️
peace, family peace. And welcome back to the freeman's affairs radio freeman's network, freedman's Affairs, radio Freedman's Network. And off the gate, I want to thank you for tapping back in with us on this great day, october 22nd 2024. And this morning, family, we got, we got. Can't nobody tell me nothing because I got my big brother. I got my big brother in the house with me and carla this is for you and everybody who's who enjoys my brother when he comes on up here with me.
Speaker 1:We got none other than my man, big malik, in the house king, peace, peace, my brother man, you don't know how much these folks enjoy you when you come up here, man, and spit with me family man, it's my pleasure man family.
Speaker 1:Y'all don't know, man, I'll be, I'll be trying to get this brother up here, you know, but we all got lives and things that that take course, and we have to attend other things, you know. But this work we're doing up here, this work we're doing up here, is going to only generate more confidence in us and going forward. We're going to stand on this, but let the people see, like I said, today's wisdom, wisdom. Go ahead, king, kick it off.
Speaker 3:That's right. The degree is wisdom. Wisdom. We know that wisdom is the elevation that we receive from our study and from our experiences and our knowledge. And when our wisdom comes together, the wisdom wisdom. It manifests our culture, which is our way of life, and that which we strive for, which is complete freedom. So that's what wisdom wisdom is born to freedom. And freedom is the ability not just to do that which is necessary for our growth and development, but also the ability and the power not to do that which is detrimental to our growth and development.
Speaker 1:Peace. That was peace, that was peace. And brother. This is why I love when you come up here, you and St Lawrence, both. This is why I love when you come up here, you and St Lawrence, both man, y'all, both good brothers, man and y'all leave it on the field. You know, I give them usually when I come up here every week. I give them the math and my understanding of it in the short version. But when you spit it like that, man, it's so much more filling. You know it just got the cup overflowing, because when you listen to this over and over again, you pick up something different every time, and that's why we make it a practice of studying the math and studying the science and life around us. You know, because you know of a sober mind, of a sober mind, there's nothing that you can't do, that you can conceive in your mind.
Speaker 3:Right, and you thought that can be expressed, or conceived can be expressed, and that's what it's all about, you know. But that comes through meditation. You meditate and you bring it into a reality through your actions. That's what wisdom is. It's an action word because it comes after study and it comes after experience, and we also gain wisdom through our elders. That's our national treasures. Our first national treasure, of course, is our children, because that's the future, and then it's our elders, because they can help, lead us and guide us and show us the obstacles. That's in our way because they've been there.
Speaker 1:Yes, indeed. Now I want to take you back a little bit to my second. Father was Eman Bakradeen, and I know you remember Bakradeen, yes, sir, and that brother man he was. So he spent years with us, teaching us as much trouble as we used to get in, he stayed with us. And that brother used to tell me that the reason the woman they refer to the woman as the wisdom, the woman they refer to the woman as the wisdom, is because of the complexities that you have to roadmap with her in order to achieve how could I say it? Achieve righteousness with her in that, in that woman, achieve righteousness with her in that woman. This is why we refer to her as the wisdom all the time, because the complexities in her will manifest the wisdom and she is the first teacher of the children and she is the first nourisher of life. That's right, now you know. Go ahead.
Speaker 3:And when we look at the word wisdom, it's two words it's wise and it's done. And that's what it's all about making your dome wise. And the woman is naturally wise because she's the one that bring the child into the world. You know, as long as she's living in her correct state, she's naturally wise. You just have to have the understanding and the ability to listen. Listening is a very important art that is a bit overlooked in this day and time. You know your listening skills should supersede your speaking skills. You got two ears and you got one mouth, so you're supposed to listen twice as much as you talk.
Speaker 1:I'm so glad you said that.
Speaker 1:I'm so glad you said that because we're going to touch on that today. Now back to Bacardine for just a quick second. That brother was so hard on us because he knew what we you know, he knew what we was doing and stuff like that, and he used to tell us he said you know, brother, get your wife, hurry up, get your wife, and you're going to have to understand when you get a wife it's going to seem like she was put on the planet to make your life impossible. But you listen to her, exactly what you said just now. It's going to seem like she was put on the planet to make your life impossible, but you listen to her, exactly what you said just now. He would say that to us. He would say those very same words you just spoke. And it is crazy. I miss that brother, that man, so much. I miss him so much. But you know, such is life. You know we have to keep the jewels and we keep pushing.
Speaker 3:That's right, and what he left you with was wisdom. Yes, he did.
Speaker 2:Yes, he did.
Speaker 3:That is his wisdom and your wisdom, all being born in culture and that shows through your way of life. This is why you do what you do. This is his wisdom and your wisdom.
Speaker 1:They used to ask him. They used to ask him, some of the brothers used to ask him say, man, why you keep all them fellas running?
Speaker 2:Dumb fellas. He said man don't you know them, some bad fellas.
Speaker 1:You know he was talking about myself, maker Bump, Lil' Kawee Shorty Black, that you told me that passed away recently. I did not know that. I did not know that. I did not know that and you know people used to tell him man Bacardine. You know who them fellas is.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I know them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's why they here for me to work with them. That's right, man oh man.
Speaker 3:And that brother came from the nation, right? Yes, he did.
Speaker 1:From the first resurrection. That's indeed he did.
Speaker 3:And that was their mission to take the brothers that was on the street and was out there without knowledge and give them knowledge and show them how to live upright. And they were very successful. They weren't 100% successful and they were very successful. They weren't 100% successful, but they were very successful because they built strong brothers that exist to this day.
Speaker 1:This is what I'm saying and those things. See, the reason why he resonated with us so much is because we knew what he had been through. We knew it. And that resonated with us, didn't? He didn't treat us with no kid gloves. Now he was very, very rough with us, the ones that were closer to him especially. He was hard, he man, that man was hard as nails. He used to tell me he's.
Speaker 1:I wouldn't say a word because, because yakeem and them would be would be going back and forth with him and trying to argue with him, I wouldn't say nothing. He would say because I was like one of the youngest that was around and he would say he would make statements like look at that boy there. That boy ain't a chump. He can't stand on no post for no 36 hours. He ain't nothing but a bunch of chumps. And I wouldn't say a word. I would not say a word to that man because I did not want no smoke with him in no kind of way, because he was telling the truth. We were so rebellious, most of us, that we really needed those teachings. You know, we really needed them. And yeah, man, I don't know why I got off talking about him, but talking about that wisdom.
Speaker 3:Because he planted the seed. He can't help it. He planted that seed, you know, and just like what we do, you know, we plant the seed and give it to the people in a way that they can understand it, you know, and whether they pick it up at this time and go along with it or not, at least the seed is planted and when it receives more water which is wisdom, is also the water that's when it grows into understanding and improves your culture and freedom, your way of life that's right.
Speaker 1:You know I'm gonna give one more story up here. We're going to move on. I remember I came home from a bid one time. I came home from upstate and I was there. I went there by the mosque to, you know, see him and everything and hang with him for a little bit and me and him were standing out front and there was this sister that came up. I knew her and she came by on a bike and she was like you know, she was greeting me and everything. She was happy to see me. She hadn't seen me in a long time. You know, I didn't know you was back and all that stuff. And she said, like well, what you doing right now? And I said, well, you know, I was getting ready, you know. And she said, like well, what you doing right now?
Speaker 1:And I said, well, you know I was getting ready, you know, head over town, cross town, wherever I said I was going, she was like, well, come on with me, I'm going to take this by my mother's house and me and you can get together. And she now she was riding a bike and told me to get on the seat so she could ride, you know, pedal and ride me. So E-Mam saw that I'm getting ready to take off with her and he come out there. He said Mustafa, come back here. I said what's up, e-mam? Because I was getting ready to leave him anyway. So he says to me where are you going? I said I'm going to go, stop by her mother's house and see her mother, and I know her for a long time, or whatever like that. He said, brother, stay here with me. I said amen. I said amen. He said because you ain't going to do nothing but go to bed with that woman tonight. And he was right. That was the whole play. That was the whole play. You know, she hadn't seen me in a long time. She wanted to get with me, or whatever. I had just touched down, I hadn't been home a week and, um, that was the plan. He, he knew it too. He, he, you know, back to that wisdom. He knew it. He said if you go, you're gonna go to bed with that woman tonight. I know you are and he made, made me stay there with. I was so mad man, but you know I thanked him later on because you know it kept me on point. It kept me on point and, um, yeah man, but real quick, I want to get in.
Speaker 1:I don't know, I don't know if you heard, I don't know if you heard, I don't know if you heard the um, the news coming out McIntosh County about the people that were killed at the Marina Barge gave way and there were about 40 people on this dock and the dock collapsed and seven of them drowned. Another few of them drowned, another few of them were critically injured and you know they was celebrating some of the Gullah Geechee tradition. Did you hear about that? Yes, sir, yeah man, that was that old aggravating woman of mine calling me and when I knocked her down, it knocked your call out. But what I was talking about was the incident in McIntosh County, georgia, where the 40 people were on the boat barge there and it gave way and collapsed and seven of them got killed. They were drowned and another few of them were very critically hurt and they were celebrating the Gullah Geechee tradition down there.
Speaker 1:Did you hear that story? Oh man? No, that happened today, it happened on Sundayay it happened on sunday today, oh okay, yeah, yeah, sunday I got you, yeah, so so um, uh, I got this, I got the hold on.
Speaker 1:I'm gonna bring the story up on. I'm gonna read some of the story from cnn, then we'll play a little clip of it and see if, uh, you know, we just want to keep, keep, keep contact with the family. Uh, yeah, georgia authorities investigating catastrophic failure of boat dot gangway that killed seven during gulligichy festival. Okay, this is this reported from cnn. Uh, authorities are CNN Authorities are investigating the cause of a partial ferry dock collapse on Georgia's Sapelo Island that turned a day of celebration into tragedy, leaving at least seven dead and six critically injured.
Speaker 1:As crowds gathered for a cultural festival. In the midst of a celebration of the island's small Gullah Geechee community of black slave descendants, a gangway collapsed on the visitor ferry dock shortly before 4 pm Saturday and plunged at least 20 people into the water. Georgia Department of Natural Resources Captain Chris Hard said at a Saturday night news conference there were as many as 40 people on the gangway when it collapsed. Saturday. Department of Commissioner Walter Rabin said at a Sunday news conference, authorities believe seven people deceased were visitors to the area. The gangway was completed in November of 2021, said Rabin. There should be very, very little maintenance to an aluminum gangway like that, he said, adding that there were almost daily inspections. A team of engineers and construction specialists was at the dock early Sunday to begin investigating why it failed. Natural Resources Department spokesman Tyler Jones told the Associated Press the gangway has been secured on Cepelo Island and the incident is currently under investigation. The department which manages the island and operates the ferry service said in a news release saturday night fairies typically depart from the cipolo side dock three times a day, taking visitors to the mainland dock and meridian. The initial findings of our investigation at this point show a catastrophic failure of gangway cause.
Speaker 1:It of the gangway that caused it to collapse on Sunday described the chaplain, charles Huston, as a dear friend who served as a DNR, georgia State Patrol and Georgia Bureau of Investigation chaplain for the state. Huston, who served 40 years as an ordained minister in the United Methodist Church, was also a volunteer firefighter in Plains, georgia. According to his biography. Details about the other people who died are yet to be released. Two of those injured were flown by air to ambulance to hospitals for treatment.
Speaker 1:Savannah State University students were among those who were rescued Saturday and are safe. The university's Department of Marine and Environmental Sciences said on Facebook. Yeah, this was a tragedy, bro. This was crazy. They were celebrating a Gullah Geechee traditional festival. It takes place every October. I'm not sure what it is, but it says here the tragedy happened during Gullah Geechee Cultural Heritage Awareness Month, which is celebrated in October in the states of North Carolina, south Carolina, georgia and Florida. The Cephalo Island Cultural and Revitalization Society, which hosts the island's annual cultural day festival, said it was grateful for the support people have shown. And then you know, it goes on with our thoughts and prayers and yada yada yada yada.
Speaker 1:That was crazy when I heard about that, but I said I had to speak on that. I had to speak on that Because to speak on that, because I didn't even know about that, about that festival, you know, and I'm planning to go back down there real soon. You know I will be in that in well, not in that area, mcintosh County, but I'm gonna. You know, I gotta finish that project that I started in the back when I went to the plantation, the rice plantation out there. So I got to go and finish that project up and get it ready. You know, edit it up and get it ready. But yeah, man, that's crazy, that's crazy.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I got to look into that. You know I can't really speak on that because I didn't, you know, look into it and see can't really speak on that because I didn't look into it and see what was going on. Did they say it was some type of foul play?
Speaker 1:No, from what I understand, they were doing this thing and it comes up. Let me see if I can get a little report in here from it. They do this thing every October. Now they say the maintenance on these things are, um, you know they, they're regularly checked and it's the. The barge is aluminum and it should be able to hold the weight of the people on on the pit on the dock at that time, because it probably was, that probably was maybe like a holding area for them to board a vessel or something to go to the island. And it gave way and everybody fell in the water.
Speaker 3:Man, that's terrible man, you know. My condolences go out to the families you know Right People that you know lost their lives, as well as the people that were injured.
Speaker 1:Let's see if we can get a little news in here from it. Let me see if I can get a little video news. I don't know.
Speaker 4:Yeah, here it is Three major companies claiming their chemicals contaminated the water. But first tonight, breaking news out of Georgia Seven people have died after a ferry dock collapsed. More than 20 folks were on that dock when it fell into the water. Good evening to you, I'm, Eric. Glad you're with us on this Saturday. Now this happened on Sapello. People on the dock seven are dead. Some are at local hospitals and they're continuing to search the water for more people. Officials are calling this just a freak accident. There is no word on what exactly caused this collapse, but you can bet the investigation is now underway. So as we get updates overnight, we'll post them right away on our website, clickrelatorcom.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so that was about all I could get from the news as a news clip on it.
Speaker 3:But yeah, family that's one of those things it's a tragedy?
Speaker 1:Yes, it is. I didn't even know about that festival but now that I've known it, I know about it. I'm going to be studying it more to see in the future. I can come up here and talk about it. I can spit on it, come up here and talk about it you know, spit on it Right. Yeah, but.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we got a deep, deep cultural history in the southeast part of the United States, especially with the Gullah Geechee, because these were Africans that were able to survive in the swamplands and in the sea islands and they produced the rice you know, and, being that, they were able to survive, whereas the European wasn't able to survive out there, they were able to maintain a lot of their culture, you know, and their traditions, yes, and they lasted all the way up until this day.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's when I went down there to Charleston area, to that Charleston area, to visit those plantations. The first plantation I went on, the Magnolia Plantation. That was a rice plantation, it wasn't cotton, it was rice. And there was quite a few other because you know, those plantations were very close to each other. There was about three of them in that particular area where I was at, and the one I was on was the biggest one. They said at one point in time they owned like 2,500 acres.
Speaker 4:Whew.
Speaker 1:You understand, and it's a very swampy type area. Very swampy type area, yeah, but I'm going to go back down and finish that project that I was on.
Speaker 3:I had been down to Charleston some years ago on vacation and swung through there and stayed a couple of days.
Speaker 4:Beautiful place.
Speaker 3:Beautiful, yeah, yeah, yeah. But when you see it and you know the history, you see they got these big mansions that are hotels now, right, but back in that time they were actually homes that were owned by the enslavers, right, and they had verandas that went all by the enslavers and they had verandas that went all the way around the house. They said in the summertime, when it was hot, it'd be so hot that they used to pull the mattress right onto the veranda and sleep out there, right?
Speaker 1:I'm going to do yeah, because when I was down there before I meant to go by the Mother AME Emanuel Church where the nine people were killed by the white supremacist Daylon Roof. I meant to go by there and get some footage. But that's going to be my next order of business for that particular project after I finish the plantation, I'm going to go to that church and get some footage of that and maybe, if I can interview somebody from there, I'll do that. Yeah, but man, um, let's um get into this thing, man, because, um, well, diddy thing has been quiet for the past week been not because every week has been something going on, but you know, this chick had a very tumultuous week last week. She just, I mean, the pit just kept getting deeper and deeper for her to now the mainstream networks are actually admitting that she is on shaky ground and it's not looking good.
Speaker 1:And I did a podcast last week and I spoke about them sending out former President Barack Obama and Magic Johnson and all of those people to come, and I guess Barack called himself chastising us, I don't know what, wagging his finger, wagging his finger, yeah, yeah, you and I was talking about that and I'm like because I couldn't believe it. I said y'all really going to send this dude? You really going to send him, right? This dude ain't got no cachet with us left, not with us here on the grassroots, not the woke ones. You ain't got no cachet with us, bro. That was the worst thing. Whoever our handlers are, they didn't think that out at all.
Speaker 3:This is the time when a lot of truth is gonna be revealed. When you press the truth down to earth, it's going to rise. It's going to rise and that's what's happening because they've been trying to run the same playbook over and over A benign neglect where don't promise them nothing. Over a benign neglect where don't promise them nothing, because if you promise black people something and they don't get it, they're gonna burn the cities down. This was something that came out of the 60s, when the civil rights bill was passed. Civil rights bill was passed not because of non-violence. It was passed because the united states cities was being burned to the ground and and it was it was affecting their bottom line. So they came in there and said listen, we got to give these people something or we're not going to have a country anymore.
Speaker 1:You know 40 cities 40 cities went up in flames, 40.
Speaker 3:Right, and after Martin Luther King got assassinated, there were over 100 cities that went up in flames, that assassinated. There were over 100 cities that went up in flames and there was a politician I think it was Daniel Patrick Monaghan. He wrote a paper called Benign Neglect and, to sum it up, what he was saying is that don't promise Black Americans anything you know when you're running for your campaign. Just don't promise black Americans anything you know when you're running for your campaign. Just don't promise, because if you promise them something and you're not able to deliver, it's going to be a problem, and they've been running on that benign neglect thing for the longest. This is why they never say anything that they're going to do for us. But now it's starting to affect them and they feel it.
Speaker 3:They can see it in the polls. They see it in. The one of the good things about the internet now that we didn't have before is that you can cross-reference and find out what's going on Just because they tell you that she's up in the polls. When you go, look and see these content creators that are going to these different neighborhoods and asking people who are they voting for? I hardly have heard anybody say they're voting for Harris. The only ones that I see that say they're voting for Harris are like the what do they call them? The alphabet, the Greek letter, people for the fraternities and the sororities Right.
Speaker 3:Divine nine, divine nine, they call them Right and people that are afraid they're the boule, and people that are afraid that either them or their relatives will be deported if Trump gets in, you know. Or people that fear that somehow he'll turn back the gains that they received for the LGBT community, you know, those are the ones that are really going all out, you know. Now you got another set of people a lot of our elders that are going to vote Democrat, vote blue, no matter who, and you got people that feel like this guy. Trump is very abrasive in the way that he talks and the way that he acts and things that he does. But then you have people who are paying attention, people who are looking and saying wait a minute, man, when, since Biden came in office, I go into the store now to buy any little thing and a $100 bill is like a $20 bill, you know, everything's going up Car insurance going up, groceries are going up Everything except wages.
Speaker 1:Bruh, I went in Target the other morning I went in Target. I just needed a couple of cleaning items. I think I got a jar of peanut butter, a mop, and it was a cup. What else did I get? A jar of peanut butter, a mop, and it was a few other items, some bleach and a couple of other items. Man, that thing came up to $90.
Speaker 3:That's right. I mean, you know you could go to the store, usually even before the prices went up. You go to the store and you could go just to get one item. But once you get in there you start remembering oh, I might need some of this, need some of this. You might see something that catches your eye and say, well, this will be my meal for next. You know, and you plan on going in and buying one items, you come out with 10 items but you wasn't planning on spending $90. You know.
Speaker 1:And this happens to people. What I'm trying to say is everything that I went in for.
Speaker 1:I got Right and it was no way that. And I was up at the register because the thing that I brought the mop thing that I brought BJ's had it for $6 cheaper. So the lady was trying to get me the discount because when you go in these stores and you find a cheaper price, a lot of these stores now they deal with each other. They'll say, all right, well, if so-and-so got it cheaper, we'll charge you that price because they don't want to lose business and stuff. So I was doing that and that thing still came up to $90.
Speaker 1:And the woman, she saved me some money by clicking on the barcode thing and getting me those discounts because she said, well, you could have got the bottle of bleach, you could have got the bigger bottle because it would have been the same price. But I didn't feel like getting offline going back over there, so I just took the little bottle I had. I think it came to $3.99 or something like that. She said, well, for $4.36, you could have got the bigger bottle. I said, well, it's okay, but she still was saving me money and that thing still came out to 90. And really I gotta tell you, man, I I had a box of water crackers, the peanut butter, the bleach, the mop thing, kit and um, it was one or two other little things in the bag. Man, I think when that when I looked at the registry you know I put my glasses on looked at the the tally, I was like man, we got to do something, get these people out of here.
Speaker 1:Now the thing that's bothering me. I mentioned it to you that when she put out the five-point plan I think it is, is it five or seven?
Speaker 3:I don't know. I'm so sick of her man, I'm so sick of her lies man. It could be 20 of them.
Speaker 1:You better thank a union member, you better thank a union member.
Speaker 3:It's amazing man and when you see the interviews that she did she did an interview with Fox News.
Speaker 1:The Bear guy. What's his name?
Speaker 4:Brett Bear.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 3:Brett.
Speaker 1:Bear.
Speaker 4:He's a monster.
Speaker 1:He took a light on her because when he see everybody talking about well, you know he was very chauvinistic because he's a woman and all Listen. When you see the interview he did with Trump, he looked at Trump like he was relentless on Trump. So I don't want to hear that about.
Speaker 3:He treated her like that because she's a woman and all that he that dude, the thing that, not to cut you off, but the thing that got me, you know, not even wanting to look at it no more, because when you ask the question, they never answer the question and they pivot right back to well, trump did this and Trump did that. And Trump see, that's the game plan, because she never answer the question and they pivot right back to well, trump did this and Trump did that.
Speaker 1:See, that's the game plan.
Speaker 3:Because she never answers the question.
Speaker 1:She never answers the question.
Speaker 1:She'll start off right and the dude kept trying to wane her in like listen, madam President, madam Vice President, or whatever. He was very respectful to her. He kept trying to. Every time she would try to go off On a rant, he would try to draw her back in. You gotta let me finish. You gotta let me what you talking about. Oh, you know she wants to go into that Spiel about. You know, I was raised in middle Class. My mother saved Money to buy her House, okay, and I Used to cook the collard greens and Use the bacon. She goes, she want to go into all that dumb shit, you know.
Speaker 3:Collard greens in the bathtub.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, and the dude was not allowing her to do that. In other words, he was saying you're not going to go from that script today, when I ask you a question and you start veering off, I'm going to bring you back in. And she was visibly annoyed by that. She was visibly upset. Yeah, you understand, and that was a I don't know who advised her to do that, but she should have left them alone. Leave that Fox thing alone.
Speaker 3:Well, I think what happened with her right? They, because they have to practice with these things and what they do, they get these certain talking points and they tell them just stick to the talking points, don't let them take you off of that. And, to be fair, to be honest, I'm not a Trump supporter. I wouldn't vote for Trump either. There's nobody that's running that I would vote for, not Trump. Jill Stein, what's the other guy? Corny West? None of them, you know, because none of them have said and put us at the forefront of what we need as a community and what we need.
Speaker 3:We need our reparations, which is not. We're not asking for nothing. We are demanding payment for what our ancestors worked for for the last 400 years that we didn't receive. This is what we want. We're not asking you for no gift. We want the money that they made that went into the government that you're using to fund these wars around all around the world, which is these wars around all around the world, which is? Well, that's another story, just another part of money laundering. But also, we need a black hate crime bill, because FBI statistics show that we receive 67% of the hate crimes against us. Now, if we're 14% of the population. How are we receiving 67% of the hate crimes and don't have a hate crime bill Talk?
Speaker 1:about it, talk about it.
Speaker 3:When they start talking about that, then I'll start looking into what their agenda is and how they can help us. I'm not going for the mess that they be talking about. Oh well, if you don't vote for her, it's a vote for Trump, and your ancestors died. My ancestors didn't die for me to vote for somebody who's consistently lying, who's cosplaying. They died for us to have the right, the freedom, justice and equality and the ability to put people in there. That's going to move us in that direction. And since there's nobody there that's moving us in that direction, it would be a dishonor to me to vote for somebody and they sacrifice their time and their lives and their money to get us where we are now, and most people that I know this is the way that they're thinking. You know they say wait a minute, hold on. Why is it that whenever you ask, we've been asking them for the last six months what is your black agenda? Silence, silence, silence. Now that comes down to the wire.
Speaker 3:25 days, 25 days, 25 days outside, and she came up with that they still making mistakes, though, instead of saying she come out, oh, this is what we're going to do for black men, what? No? Well, you need to come up with a plan for the black family. You know, the same way you're coming up with plans for other families. It wasn't a hate crime bill for the Chinese men, it was for the Chinese people. The Asian hate crime bill, it was for Asian people.
Speaker 3:When you open up the flood gates, it wasn't opening up the flood gates for Latino men. It was for Latino refugees, or what they call the migrants, which is just a clean term that they're trying to use for illegal immigrants. They're coming in the country Illegal and undocumented Undocumented. They're not being vetted. These countries are emptying out the jails and sending people over, and it's you know. You have to have some compassion for the people, because when you see them here and what they're going through is you know. You know where we live at.
Speaker 3:I'm right on Buncha Mega Avenue and I see they be doing all kinds of stuff. They be coming bringing grills out, cooking food and selling stuff. They trying to hustle to survive now, because they don't came over here with the promise of streets paid with gold. Then, when they get over here they find out no, they ain't like that. This is a hustle. You gonna have to hustle to make money.
Speaker 3:You know, my thing is, from what I understand, is that they open the gates so that they can have a large proletariat class of people that need to work and they can have a larger people to choose from. To keep wages down, because once you've been here for a while and you start seeing what people are supposed to be making, you're not going to work for minimum wage, you're not going to be working off the books when you can get a job on the books and you go to get involved with the unions and you get a base pay, you get sick time, you get vacation time and all these other fringe benefits, right, and this is what they want. They want a large labor class that they can exploit and they can oppress and keep the salaries down. And the people that are there already, they can keep them in check Because they can say oh well, you look, we got all these people out here that need work, so y'all keep messing up if you want.
Speaker 1:Well, that was the idea of them having job fairs. For a lot of them they were having job fairs, yeah, and nobody knew nothing about the job fairs except the people that were in the shelters, right, you understand. So, yes, they do want a minimum wage workforce and also to circumvent the black vote, to destabilize the black vote, and I can't understand why these, you know know, I asked my man the other day. I said so, bro, what do you think about the five-point plan agenda that she brought out? Now, I already read the thing and and figured it out right off the gate. You, you got me pissed off with it because once you said black men and others, once you othered it, it's done, it's done. You cannot pass that. This is what the games they play with those reparations committees and stuff like that.
Speaker 3:They're doing it here in New York also that's what they did with the civil rights movement othered it right. They said minorities and once they said minorities, that took us out of it. That was supposed to be for the elevation of black society, those laws we're the ones that fought for that. And then they said, when they said minorities, that meant okay, white women, white women they don't own a lot of businesses, they're a minority in the business world.
Speaker 3:They were the biggest ones that increased and improved and benefited from the Civil Rights Bill, and Dr Claude Anderson is the one that told me and others and found out that we got to watch the language. As soon as it came out and it said Blacks, men and others right there, we knew it was game. Yeah, we knew it was a game. And plus, they got this guy. What's his name? Ed Buck or something? Ed Buck.
Speaker 1:Ed Buck, ed Buck that's the one. He's was a game Plus. They got this guy. What's his name? Ed Buck or something? Ed Buck, ed.
Speaker 3:Buck, that's the one. He's on a mission to stop anything that is specifically race-based. You know, right, if it's something that's only supposed to benefit Black, only supposed to benefit Asian, he's filing a lawsuit and getting it thrown out because it's unconstitutional. And he's been successful with it. You know, and this is why we have to delineate, claim our lineage as freedmen, and then we go for what we're supposed to get.
Speaker 1:This is why I think we should be lobbying right now. We should start lobbying after this election cycle is over and in the midterms coming the next two years, we should start putting the lobbying bills together now. To get a freedman status card, like the five American Native tribes, you have to have a. If you belong to those Das Roles, you get a card. This is what they mean by it Five Indian Roles. Right, that's what ended up happening, but you still in order for you to claim Right now if I do some genealogy and find out because my grandmother was Native American but there's no record of her In order for you to claim now, right now, if I do some genealogy and find out, because my grandmother was Native American, but see, there's no record of her, there's no birth record, nothing of her.
Speaker 1:So it's very hard for us to. We don't and I don't think she was a part of the five civilized tribes, as they call the five recognized tribes, because of the demograph that she was around. She was around the uh yamassee nation, uh, that's that's who I believe she was born from, and they're not federally recognized. But now, had had they had been and we were able to prove her on those dosh rolls, we would get our family members, would get a card putting us and these are federal, federal identification cards putting us as um in that status. And that's what I think. That's what I think we need to be looking to lobby for, um, for these midterms, uh, going and taking it right back to the hammer on these mid, when the election is over and these midterms come up, I think we need to lobby, start lobbying to make that a must about, uh, our designation, our federally or legally recognized designation, and because that that will put a seal on the delineation movement. That will put a seal on it, because everybody's not entitled to, to that. This is a status, status, uh, recognized type of thing. So back to it.
Speaker 1:I asked my man. I said what you think about? And he went into this thing and he's a good dude, he's my lifelong buddy, best friend of mine, and he he's, but he's, he can't get all, he can't shake them democrats, he just can't. And I asked him. He says to me, he said well, I think it's good, I think she got some good points in there. But you know, we're gonna have to when she get in there, we're gonna have to see if she's gonna stay true to it and actually do it. And if she don't, then we hold her responsible. And I'm saying in my mind I didn't say it to him, but I'm saying in my mind I didn't say it to him, but I'm saying in my mind, bro, we don't have that kind of time to waste. That woman already told us with her full chest what she ain't going to do.
Speaker 2:Right here you go, so I'm not going to sit here and say I'm going to do something that's only going to benefit black people.
Speaker 4:No, so I'm not going to sit here and say I'm going to do something that's only going to benefit black people.
Speaker 1:No, and when she said it she read back in her chair and crossed her legs. That's a definite. That woman said that with her full chest.
Speaker 3:That's the same thing Obama did too. Yeah, you said, I'm not the president of black America, I'm the president of all America. I'm the president of all America, I'm the president of all. America, I'm the president of all America. Black America is a part of all America. Yeah, in case you didn't know.
Speaker 1:Another thing they do, another word game they play, is when they ask about the reparations, well, we're going to have to study it. What is there to study? It's a part of American history. Yeah, if you know American history, you know the story, what happened?
Speaker 3:They're just trying to kick everything until after, because their whole motivation is to get elected, to get in, and they don't care how many lies they got to tell, they don't care how many people get hurt, as long as they can get in. But see, the mistakes that they made is something that's affecting people. You know the immigration policies is affecting people and that's a big part of what's going on. And then the thing where they say well, you know they will put together a bill for immigration, but Trump called his buddies in the Republican Party and he stopped it. But wait a minute. You shouldn't even say nothing like that, because you're telling me this man is a private citizen and he got more power than the president and the vice president. Then shouldn't he be the president?
Speaker 1:Not only that. Let me show you the game. Not only that, not only that Six of the top Democrats voted it down. They don't talk about that Six of them. And that guy, Brett Baer, brought that up in that interview he did with.
Speaker 3:Vice President Harris. What's that?
Speaker 1:She shouted him down. Oh my God, that thing was a mess man.
Speaker 3:She shouted him down. She didn't want to hear that, she didn't want to talk about nothing like that.
Speaker 1:Then he told he said well, madam President, 79% of the people say that the country when they did the poll. 79% of the people of the country say that we're headed in the wrong direction under this administration. He said why are they saying that? Now, their big thing is her thing. One of her quotes is we're turning the page. You know we're going to be doing some new things or whatever, like that. You're turning the page. He asked her you're turning the page on what? When you're in office now?
Speaker 3:Turn the page on yourself.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So when he said that, she said and Trump's been running for office, and he looked at a real puzzle and he was like what? And she was like you know good and well what I mean, he said no, I don't. Madam President, would you explain it? And she shifted to something else. You know.
Speaker 1:Now, my thing is she talked about the five points which you can't do them. You cannot do them because this is why they put that and others on it. So if we dumb enough to go for it, then they could say, all right, well, you know, we would give these these, um, give these people, these, these, uh, illegals, this money. We ain't gonna give them negroes, nothing, right? You know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1:And then, uh, you know, her whole thing is like I said and I and I tried to express to my man now, there's 20 million of them that have been across that border in the last four years. 20 million, some people say upwards of 20 million, right. There's of the freedmen. There's a rough estimate, with just the raw numbers 43 million to 45 million of freedmen. What you think gonna happen? She win that With just the raw numbers 43 million to 45 million of freedmen, right. What you think going to happen if she win that election and another 20 million come at the rate them people have babies and stuff like that, what you think is going to happen to us within a decade?
Speaker 3:Right.
Speaker 1:Well, there are numbers there are numbers Right?
Speaker 3:Well, they'll outnumber us.
Speaker 1:They'll outnumber us and the political power that we have now will be totally destabilized Totally.
Speaker 3:That's right.
Speaker 1:They'll be telling us look man, we ain't got nothing for you. Straight out, man, get out of here. We had your chance. Yeah, it won't even be no pandering. They'll be straight up like listen, man, don't. You know, y'all can vote if y'all want, but we don't really care, because we got these.
Speaker 3:You had your chance. You had a black man president, you had a black woman president. You didn't do nothing. Wait a minute, what are you talking about? What black woman? And to me, I think really that that's a democratic strategy, that thing about them keep talking about she ain't Black, she ain't Black, she ain't Black. Okay, she ain't Black. Okay, let's say she is Black. So what, what has she done? What is she going to do? You know, look at her record, because me, even when I do vote, I wouldn't vote for promises. I vote for history. Now, somebody got a history of doing something that's different, right? Somebody who just promising they're going to do something, right, people make promises all the time.
Speaker 1:Especially politicians.
Speaker 3:They're saying that promises are made to be broken. You know this is correct.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and the thing is, the one thing that's being overlooked a lot. Well, is also being mentioned. You're the vice president. Now, what are you promising? Oh, if I get elected, I'm going to close the border. Close it now. You know and if I remember correctly, that was one of the things that was given to the vice president after they won the election that she was going to be the border czar. Yeah, and that border czar, you opened it up. Things went left. Now you're going to have to deal with it but see, this is what baffles me so much.
Speaker 1:I don't think, because you can't think. We, possibly all of us, are just that dumb and we ain't none of us paying attention, we listening very close to what you're saying. Now, just, you have some of these, these Negroes, that'll tell you.
Speaker 2:Well, she she only vice president, she can't really do much. Her hands are tired right now because Biden's still in office. She got to get elected, then she can do it. Man, her hands are tired right now because Biden's still in office.
Speaker 1:She got to get elected, then she can do it, man, I'm going to take this shotgun and bust you in your ass in a minute if you don't get away from me, if you don't get your ass away from me yeah the vice president don't have no power.
Speaker 3:We know Dick Cheney was running everything.
Speaker 1:Man, Dick Cheney. They call Dick Cheney the Suge Knight of Washington. He had more power than Bush, yeah.
Speaker 3:Don't tell me she can't do nothing.
Speaker 1:Michelle Obama. Michelle Obama got legislation passed and she was the first lady that lunch program thing. She got that bill passed in Congress. She was just the first lady, that lunch program thing. She got that bill passed in Congress.
Speaker 2:She was just the first lady man, these niggas. Man, you got to wait until she get in there.
Speaker 1:See, because that's because you don't want to deal with reality. You don't want to deal with reality. You want to pretend like, okay, santa Claus is coming tomorrow night I know the 25th is right around the corner, but he coming and you keep telling yourself this, knowing full well it's no way. This is happening right same with the language.
Speaker 1:Back to the language once you put black on it. This is what they did with the reparations thing out in California and they're attempting to do that here in New York. New York has a reparations task force. Most of the people on it is from the Caribbean and a couple of people from Africa. It might be one or two foundationals in it, but they that Sanders dude, he's a straight behind liquor, straight behind liquor, and he's the one tries to make a butt behind liquor, straight behind liquor, and you know he's the one tries to make was trying to say that time that the great migration from the south to the north by the black community puts us in the same type of category as the migrants. See the difference between them. People came here willingly and they left their country and whatever constitution they were under, they left and came here to this one. We never left our country, we just exercise we was paying taxes the whole time.
Speaker 1:We was paying taxes the whole time and we moved from one city to another, which is our right to do as citizens. So you can't compare the two. But you got niggas who try to slip that under the door real quick and run down the staircase, knock on your door and slip that on your door and you open the door. You hear the feet going down the staircase. Yeah, that's the kind of niggas them dudes is.
Speaker 3:Throw a rock and hide their hands.
Speaker 1:You know, we was kids. We running around ringing people, bells and stuff, running down the staircase and all that. That's the shit they trying to get past. That's the shit they do, but they don't think we paying attention, just like we catch the language. Now we catch the language and tell them look, look here y'all playing with us, because you know, if you put anything raised base, it will never pass the muster of Congress to become law stop playing with us.
Speaker 3:You know, that's really something that we had to learn a lesson about, because we always romanticize about freedom and we felt, we felt, or we thought, or I could say for myself, that africans, um, since they had their own countries, they were running it, that they had a level of freedom, that when they came over here, they would help us and join our fight for our freedom. Just inequality and and we went to sleep on it for a long time, you know, not knowing that there are some of them that undermine us at every chance they get. You know, when we start finding out the way that they're teaching us to stay away from black Americans and they got all these little names. They call us Akatas and Jareers and all this stuff. You know, and it's coming out that this is a reality. You know, it's coming out that this is a reality. You know, when you look at they got some of these websites where all they do is promote the most decadent part of our culture.
Speaker 3:Right, you know Right, and they blow it up like that, that world star thing, world star and all that, that was a big thing. All they showed was degeneracy. If you see that, you think that we don't do nothing but fight in the street, get high and party. You know, yeah, and that's not the reality.
Speaker 3:You know Well, you know the majority of black folks are low-abiding citizens. They get up, they go to work, they pay their taxes, they run their businesses and they got plans and dreams for a better tomorrow. You know, and it's sad that you got people that look like us, that are actually working against us. You know, and in reality they're still working against themselves. But you know that's the still they working against themselves. But you know that's the oldest military strategy in the world divide and conquer.
Speaker 1:As long as they keep us divided, they can keep us conquered well, here's the thing, man, um, I'm gonna, I'm gonna give, and then I got something else. I want to run by you and we can get ready to wrap it up, because we've been up here for a little bit now. But one of the things that that reason why I took to this mike malik like I do and I'm so serious about this thing, is because, when I look back on it, when, when I drunk the kool-aid back in 2008, and then again in 2012, I drunk the kool-aid times.
Speaker 1:That first one was I'm really ashamed of, because I went down there to the inauguration. I was out there with all them folks on that mall and I had on my mink coat, my mink jacket and my hat to match it. You know, I was down there, man Women were stopping me to take pictures with me, and all that because it was something I felt so great about the celebration of the first black president, and all that Drunk all the coolant, drunk all the coolant man and I was so proud. And then, when you start breaking it down, even after that in 2012, when I said you know, you know what, I'm gonna vote for him again because his hands were tied, I fell into all that. His hands were tied. He really couldn't do nothing, not realizing that he had the power of executive order.
Speaker 1:That dude. Right now he's supposed to be more powerful outside of office than he was when he was in office. He's supposed to be more powerful outside of office than he was when he was in office. He's supposed to be that powerful right now. And had he done the right thing, his legacy we still would be rocking with him and after I seen he did that.
Speaker 1:I'm so embarrassed about that. I'm so embarrassed I wasted money driving down to Washington for the inauguration and all this craziness and out there cheering in that cold with them folks. And for what?
Speaker 3:and you know what. You can't feel bad about that, because the one thing that we learned, that we know, is that presidents don't really run this country. This country is run by a corporation, the military-industrial complex, people that make bombs and guns and soldiers' uniforms and tanks.
Speaker 1:That's why Dick Cheney was so powerful. That's why Dick Cheney was so powerful, because of that Halliburton. That's why Dick Cheney was so powerful. That's why Dick Cheney was so powerful, because of that Halliburton.
Speaker 3:Yeah, and that's why they always have to be in war? Because if they're in war, they're going to start one, because that's where they blow up, you know. Then you got the pharmaceutical industry, who got people lobbying in Congress to get whatever drugs they want passed, passed without being approved, without being thoroughly tested, you know. And then you got the the uh, the oil industry. You know. They sitting back and and they just making trillions and trillions of dollars. Every time you hear about somebody inventing a car that run from water, they want to dine or something like that. You know, because they're not going to give up that money.
Speaker 1:Yeah, because that's what happened up there, like that you know, because they're not going to give up that money. Yeah, because that's what happened up there with them people up in Buffalo, one of the brothers that was killed there, he came up with the invention of.
Speaker 3:The security guy. The security guy, the brother, that was the security guy.
Speaker 1:Aaron Salter. That was his name. Aaron Salter Yep had the same first name as myself. Government name Aaron Salter.
Speaker 3:You the same first name as myself. Government name Aaron Salter. You hear about these people inventing these cars that can run off of this and that, and the next thing you know, you don't hear nothing. Yeah, they dead somewhere.
Speaker 3:They suppress it Just like when Nikola Tesla the one who these Tesla cars and all that is named after he invented a way to get electricity directly out of the ionosphere, he was the one that was responsible for the radio and television waves that gives us the ability now to watch TV and listen to the radio. He told them what he had and what did they do. They burnt his lab down to the ground. They said you got to be out your mind. You want to give everybody in the world free electricity, or you know how much money we going to make off of this here?
Speaker 1:And they took him out and you know what I got? Something I almost forgot, but I want to play it up here. I want you to check this out. This is from Michael Jackson, hold on.
Speaker 2:The minute I started breaking the all-time record in record sales. I broke Elvis' records, I broke Guido's records. The minute it became the all-time best-selling album in history and the Guinness Book of World Records overnight. They called me a freak. They called me a homosexual. They called me a freak. They called me a homosexual. They called me a child molester.
Speaker 4:They said I tried to bleach my skin.
Speaker 2:They made everything to turn the public against me. This is all complete, complete conspiracy. You have to know that.
Speaker 1:Yeah, yeah, yeah, you heard that.
Speaker 3:You heard it.
Speaker 2:That was Mike.
Speaker 1:That was Mike. He said, as soon as he outsold the Beatles, he outsold the mother people, Elvis and them. And then, when he made that, what topped it off? When he made that move with Sony and they had to give him half of Sony's publishing.
Speaker 3:Yep, and he took he had so much stuff that he was giving people their royalties.
Speaker 1:He gave Little Richard his royalties back.
Speaker 1:Yep, he gave Little Richard his royalties back. He gave Little Richard his back. You understand he was giving many artists their stuff back because you know he knew what the inside game was. Now I talked to you sometime earlier and I was telling you about, you know, my friend that's. I knew him most of my life, my man Fred. He's into that Mason stuff and you know he's been pretty distant from me because we had gotten into a back and forth about something you know with this election thing and you know he's one of them. People I hate Trump because he's a racist. You know I'm like okay, you understand, but see, the thing with that is like I played in last week's podcast. He wasn't racist when he was hanging out with charlie wrangle, al sharpton, mike tyson and michael jackson. You know he wasn't a racist. Then you know this is how stupid.
Speaker 3:Uh silly something. Bottom line is we know he's a racist, we know racism exists, we know all that. So what we gotta do it's like we're on a basketball team and the refs is cheating for the other side. You gotta beat all seven of them, beat all five of them and beat the refs. That's what we gotta do, because racism is here, it's a part of America, it's a part of the here.
Speaker 1:It's a part of America. It's a part of the world.
Speaker 2:It's a part of the world.
Speaker 3:And we can't get bent out of shape every time something happens. We just look at it and deal with it and we move on because we know at some point we're going to rise above all of that. You know, the only way we're going to rise above all of that is we got to be strategic, we got to be thinking right and we got to have a code. We got to live by codes. King, I can't understand. I have to tell you not to vote for somebody against your interest. You should know that automatic man, this dude, that's what knew that this dude, this dude Okay Now, he posted this earlier.
Speaker 1:This was a couple days ago. He posted this and he said the Republicans started shutting down psychiatric facilities in New York. These facilities were medicating, supervising and monitoring EDPs, eliminating the strain on society. When they decided to shut them down, they disenfranchised hardworking people that were employed there, destroyed their financial security, whereas most of them are minorities. So now society is forced to commute and live around three decades of unmanaged and not medicated EDPs. These Republicans knew exactly what they were doing, especially the long-term effect on society.
Speaker 1:People can't even ride the subways or go to work without being attacked for no apparent reason. More importantly, edps jump the turns down, go on the subway, harass people that aren't paying to ride, that are paying to ride, and terrorize people that they don't know who don't know them. The EDPs' families go to work to secure their lifestyle. They can't afford to monitor their EDP family members. But they say that the governor and Biden have ruined New York. New York was ruined way before Biden and Governor Hochul. It started back with the fraud. Rudy Giuliani, republicans, please stop blaming other people for your biased political moves. New York is what it is because of you. Now I read the comment. I read the comment, I read it, I read it and I said well, let me think about this.
Speaker 1:Besides juliani, most times I can remember new york city has been on the democratic rule, you understand now right, with the exception of michael bloomberg, which argument can be made either way, because I can't remember what was he? Democrat or what?
Speaker 3:he. He was a democrat, but then he switched to republican right.
Speaker 1:So that's why I said that. So I I um. So I replied. I said sounds interesting. I said can you post your source for this information?
Speaker 1:I know Giuliani was a dog, a stinking dog at that, but what's going on in New York City today is a direct result of open borders. Seventy percent of the arrests in Manhattan are of undocumented illegals and in Queens the number is 60 percent. If you you need the source, I have no problem posting it, but I like to study what you posted. As with anyone who follows, you always be in a position to stand by what you say with the facts. So he replied hey, all you have to do is look at it for yourself. Just remember this. Remember this the the system uses numbers to disguise and alter truth. The police use these systems, along with the noted above, to make them look like they are accomplishing their goals. The hardworking people are being displaced and having their security removed just because people have the power or in a position to do so. All that other rigmarole takes a back seat. So I posted.
Speaker 1:I said I agree with what you stated about Giuliani, but he did because he did disrupt a lot of the city norms when he was mayor. However, since that time, the Democrats have been in power, discounting Bloomberg's tenure, which an argument could be made either way, democrats have been running New York City for the last 16 years. I work in the New York City Transportation System, mta, so I see what goes on from an insider perspective. So if society is forced to commute and live with three decades of unmanaged and unmedicated EDPs, who's really at fault? Because the Democrats have been in power for most of that time. New York City is a Democratic-ran city. Maybe most of us are slow and not comprehending. Either way, the more I read what you post, the more puzzled I am. That's why we need you to post the links to the source. And that was hours ago. The brother still hasn't posted anything.
Speaker 4:Right.
Speaker 1:Where'd you get that from?
Speaker 3:Go ahead. Yeah Well, I know they did that. It was long before Giuliani, when they shut down those major psychiatric facilities like Creedmoor and Ward's Island and they sent the people back out into halfway houses, the ones that didn't have families or the families weren't able to take care of them. They also opened up um, like it was like a adult homes that could be run by independent contractors. Right, if you owned a home and you could, you know, show that you could care for them, then they would allow you to care for them and they would pay you directly for it. You know, it was a brother I know lived over in Hollis. He had a couple of houses and that's who he took care of. That was his business. He was taking care of adults that had emotional disturbances, edp, mostly disturbing people, and that's been going on for a long time, a few decades. How do you grab something like that and attach it to what's going on now? It's like grabbing at straws.
Speaker 1:But see, that's what puzzled me. I told my brother your post, your source, man, because I want to see this. I want to see where Republicans did this, because this is a Democratic grand city. It hasn't been Republican since what Reagan? I think the last time they was in power Was during the Reagan administration. So all I'm saying is man, I'm not saying what you're saying, don't have no legitimacy to it. But you know, when you say something, you to be able to stand on what you're talking about.
Speaker 1:Man, right, but you know, get upset and shut down.
Speaker 3:Well, you know when they take an oath of secrecy. You know when they join certain of those Masonic lodges they take an oath of secrecy where they can't reveal certain things. So you know, you can't really expect much in a situation like that.
Speaker 1:Well, here's the thing I'm going to quote Minister Farrakhan. Minister Farrakhan, on Savior's's day, I forget what year it was, but he said um. He said, yeah, now we're gonna get to your secrets. Mason and shriners. He said, but not you, black mason and shriner, y'all ain't got no secrets. And the crowd, the audience fell out. So, man, I mean, knock it off with all that stuff, man. Man, if you got you know what I mean. First of all, what am I keeping secret from my folks? Yeah, that means I'm a gay.
Speaker 3:Well, a lot of them is like, for a lot of them it's like a social club, you know, yeah, where they can go and gather, they might do, you know, a little fundraising to do things for the children or the community or something like that, which is okay. But when it comes to dealing with, you know, hot button political issues and being out on the forefront with it, they're not known for that. You know. I don't know what they do behind the scenes.
Speaker 1:Well, see the thing is, if you ain't out trying to get the people, get your people together and get them right, then you're a gatekeeper. Right, it's just dressed-up language. You ain't nothing but a gatekeeper of the status quo and white supremacy.
Speaker 4:That's it, the 10%.
Speaker 1:That's it. You know all this secret knowledge and all.
Speaker 2:Man, get your ass out of here with that man.
Speaker 1:And the cat bent out the bag. Man, Y'all ain't got no secrets, dog.
Speaker 3:And the reality of it is one of the highest degrees is what it's? 33 degrees, 33 degrees. Man listen Go talk to him Talk to him what we start out with Our foundation is 120. 120. 120. 120 degrees is our foundation they start out. Their highest level is 33. Then they go into the Shriners and all this other stuff. But you know, the Shriners started out as a joke.
Speaker 3:Yeah, with them little tiny cars. Yeah, I don't begrudge anybody. You know their beliefs, but when it comes down to looking at serious political hot-button issues, you know, if you can't say anything, just keep your mouth closed.
Speaker 1:Or if you can say something, give it to somebody who can Right, this is what I be trying to tell him, because I had him up here a couple times up on the program with me. He came up here. I mean he didn't contribute much, you know, he just you know. But some people want to seem like they got something, so they'll tell you. Yeah, I'm telling you, man, this is how it is. Well, all right, well, so give me some data with it.
Speaker 1:A lot of times they don't know too Right but I know that but you know I just you know, I'll let you be whoever you want to be, man, I, I you know he's a good brother and all that. I'm not saying nothing bad about the brother, but come on, man, we trying to get the people together, man, and, like you said, if you can't say it, give it to me, i'ma say it, because I ain't hiding nothing.
Speaker 3:I ain't going to tell them. I got it from you, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1:But anyway, big bro you got anything. Spook who sat by the door. That's right. That's right.
Speaker 3:Go there and get that knowledge and bring it back to somebody that can use it.
Speaker 1:Right, but anyway, big bro, we've been up here for a minute. Man, you got anything else you got on your mind?
Speaker 3:Well, we was talking earlier about that brother that was strolling around down in Florida. Down in Florida, yeah, minnesota, right, and one of those Klansmen or whatever you want to call him. He lost his job. He worked for the London Stock Exchange Group. His name was Stephen Gorega. Oh wow, first they put him on suspension while investigating. Then they came back investigating and they said racism has no place in our company. They got rid of that, see that's what we're talking about that's how we need to fight them.
Speaker 3:You got to hit them where it hurts boycott for some reason we don't like the boycott.
Speaker 3:The Montgomery boycott was a success. It took 384 days, but it was a success. They come talking about boycotting for two days or three days, they don't care about that. How are you going to boycott gas? Don't nobody buy gas on Thursday? Okay, you're still driving. So on Friday you're going to have to double up. You know, whatever you didn't get on Thursday, you're going to get it on Friday. You know boycotts are serious and it should be used against companies that have policies that harm us. You know.
Speaker 1:Well, see, we're going to learn all that shit. When this is said and done with this election, and then we double down and go back for the midterms, people are going to start realizing. Hold on these Negroes, realizing their power. See, we don't need millions and millions of people doing the same thing to start the thing off with, because sometimes only a handful of people make significant change. Critical mass, the critical mass. So now, the CWB.
Speaker 3:The boys had the right idea, but it was the wrong people. He was talking about the talented tenth. If you get 10% of us that get highly educated, that'll leave the other 90%. But the problem is along with education comes indoctrination. So if you ain't got the right type of education, it's not going to do us any good. You can go to school for eight years and get a master's in business that can teach you how to take a billion dollars and make two billion dollars, but it's not going to do us any good because we ain't got a billion dollars to invest in. You, you know, get an education that'll show us how to take what we got and multiply it and get it to a billion, and that's what will be beneficial for us, you know.
Speaker 1:Just to use an example, you know, and that's so true because some of the greatest minds that I ever came across, these people, these brothers and sisters, never well outside of dr francis quest, wells, crest, welson, um, a lot of brothers I met in my lifetime and my child was. Some of these brothers were mathematicians, some of them were scientists. They, just for whatever they got caught up in life with, you know, they was where I was at and I was blessed to be around them. You know what I'm talking about. We done ran something across the greatest minds. Look what Elijah Mohammed produced. Look what Elijah Mohammed produced. A man with a third grade education. Yeah, I ain't ashamed to tell anybody that was my teacher. Yeah, that is my teacher.
Speaker 3:And you look at the brothers that came out of his camp. You got Minister Farrakhan. You got Dr Khalid Muhammad, some of the greatest minds you know, even to this day, brother like Rizzo Islam I listen to that young brother.
Speaker 1:Man Rizzo's a beast with it. He's an animal with that. Well, dr Wesley, muhammad too, but man Rizzo's just a beast with it, you know.
Speaker 3:Dr Wesley, he's a beast. With these men like Bacra, dean and Hafiz, you know, you can tell a tree by the fruit that it bears, fruit that it bears the fruit that it bears.
Speaker 1:Man, that man, that man, that man I said it at the top of the hour that man was a second father to me. I knew my father loved my father and everything. That man was a second father to me. I knew my father loved my father and everything. That man was like a second father to me and that's how he treated me. Right, you know Yousef Ramadan, all of them Mutaka, ronnie Bump, champ, all them cats, man, shorty Black, all of us man and Maker and all of them dudes and Maker and all of them dudes, joker and all of them man. You talk, these dudes was straight gangsters.
Speaker 3:man, yeah and he had they come to that Mars and listen to Baccarat and Baccarat.
Speaker 1:Listen, I told you he would be fussing with them, dudes, yakeem and them. They would be trying to. You know, yakeem and them because they was a little older. And they would be trying to. You know, yakeem and them because they was a little older, and they would be trying to buck back at him. You know what I mean. Because they felt like, well, you're going to respect me too, because of my age too, and Bacardine would shut them down. He would say he would be looking at me like, yeah, that boy there that's how he would talk to me. That boy, yeah, I ain't nothing but a bunch of chumps.
Speaker 1:Now you talking to a room full of killers Some of them dudes was killers man. When I tell you, man, some of them dudes was stone killers man. And he tell you man, yeah, I ain't nothing but a bunch of chumps. And that's how he would talk. And he would be banging on his fist on the table. And I'm telling you, you can't handle this. And I never argued with him, I never said nothing to him. And they used to ask me, man, why you don't ever say nothing with Bacchadini Holler. I said, man, I ain't saying nothing to that man what I'm going to say to him.
Speaker 1:What I'm going to say to him, man, that man done been through it, man, that first resurrection was no joke but what could I tell him?
Speaker 1:That man been through the first resurrection when shit was critical, things were really critical, man, them dudes had to get out of they bed three o'clock in the morning because when them Italians would one time them Italian mob dudes had stole some of Anab Elijah Muhammad's trucks, them shipping trucks, them shipping trucks. They was heisting back then, in them days they was holding up the trucks and commandeering the trucks, hijacking the trucks.
Speaker 1:Captain Yusuf Shah got on the phone I think it was with one of them Bonanno family or one of them, five family dudes one of the heads and told him said y'all got 24 hours to get them trucks back with every bit of product on them because they was shipping fish and lamb and stuff. At that point he said y'all got 24 hours. You know them trucks was back. 24 hours later them trucks was back. That's right you talking about a time that was real serious.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you understand, brother Gladstone, and all them dudes, man, them dudes was straight killers, man, yeah, ain't like these video dudes now on these airwaves, on these YouTube streets talking all that stuff. Them dudes was serious, man, so my hat goes off. They was living the racist life. Yes, yes, and they was. Yeah, yeah, you know, but yeah, man.
