Black Empowerment Unchained✊🏿Dr King Files 🗂️examined
And what kind of rules and regulations, including all laws enforced while manufacturing the devil. Yaakoub's first rule was to see that all his followers were healthy, strong and good breeders. If not, he sent them back all that he found that was not good in multiplying and that they should marry at the age of 16. Next, yaakoub gave his people the law on birth control to be enforced while manufacturing the devil. That was to destroy the alike and save the unalike, which means to kill the black babies and save the brown ones. This law was given was to examine all that marry, and this was his law that anyone designed to marry must first be qualified by the doctor. In turn, he qualified or disqualified them to the minister. The minister would marry only the ones that were unalike.
Speaker 1:The nurse's law was to kill the black babies at birth by sticking needles in the brains of the babies or feed them to some wild beasts. And tell the mother that her baby was an angel baby and that it was only taken to heaven and someday, when the mother dies, her baby would have secured her home in heaven. But save all the brown ones and tell their mother that she was lucky, that her baby was a holy baby and she should take good care of her baby, educate it and someday it would be a great man. All nurses, doctors and ministers at Ya'aqoub put them under penalty of death. Who failed to carry out the law as it was given them. Also, the cremator who burned the black babies when the nurse brought it brought them into them Also. Death for them If they reveal the secret. He also had other laws and rules which were not mentioned in this lesson.
Speaker 2:Guys what we're talking about. We're talking about black people. There's a lot of black people out here, ladies and gentlemen, who are scared of power. Ladies and gentlemen, when you challenge white supremacy, you have to be ready to assume the reins of power. Ready to assume the reins of power, and we got to get into the habit of practicing being in positions of power. Being in positions of power is so foreign to so many of us because we've been powerless for so long.
Speaker 2:Many people in our society sees people who are black in power and they think that something's wrong with that. They think the only power that is legitimate is if it's power that's approved by the white supremacist, and white supremacist approved power for black people is not power at all. I want you all to feel me on that. We got a very bad habit of waiting on white people to co-sign black people before we take them seriously. We don't think a black person is legit unless there is a white person propping that black person up and co-signing that black person.
Speaker 2:Because when we see a black person assert power, create economic bases and do things independent of the white supremacist, notice how a lot of Negroes will project their own insecurities and inadequacies on that black person. Well, he must have did something wrong, she must have did something slick, she must be scamming. There's a lot of projection and that's the little white supremacist in your soul. You got to exercise that white supremacist out of your system. See, the white supremacist got into a lot of black people's souls and built a little coon puppet. There's a lot of little coon puppets out here in your soul and you have to exercise that out your soul and understand what real power is. Our brother, john Henry Clark, used to say people who can't make their own underwear are not ready to lead or rule a nation.
Speaker 1:Peace, peace, and welcome back to the Freemans Affairs Radio program, the Freemans Network. I'm your host, vaughn Black, and, right out the gate, as always, we want to thank you for tapping in back with us this morning, january 28th 2025. And today we are dealing with Wisdom build or destroy. That's what we're dealing with today on the 28th Wisdom build or destroy. And we know that wisdom is discernment, judgment or corrective judgment or insight. This is what wisdom is Right. We use wisdom to help us make decisions, to help us make decisions, and in build or destroy is to construct or deconstruct. And sometimes in life, as you progress in life For those of us who are progressive Sometimes you have to deconstruct what you have constructed throughout life. In other words, if you start out leading a life of crime or criminal activity or some kind of things that are not good, when you get to a certain point, your discernment will make you come to a decision where you have to deconstruct those things that are not good in order to construct a life that is good. So that's what we're dealing with here today family, and we always want to keep these things in mind. Oh, it's a nice tune here. This is a nice tune. So, yeah, family, it's been a lot going on. It's a lot going on and, as always, as always, we try to touch on things that concern the emancipated of the United States and the descendants of the emancipated. That's that's our function up here. That's our function. Yeah, you know, last few programs I had reported I'm looking at the state of Virginia, right, I'm looking at the state of Virginia, two incidents that jumped right out to me and I've spoken about both incidents on the podcast up here in previous weeks, just recently.
Speaker 1:The podcast up here in previous weeks, just recently, and that is. I might loop that music back in, but just give me a second. I want to just grab this up. That is the. There was a white couple in Virginia, right, and they've been charged with human trafficking of black children, adopted black children. Let's see, can we find a story? Hold on, let me see can I find a story and we'll do some reporting on it.
Speaker 4:Hold on Out of West Virginia, where a couple is facing charges after some of their adopted children were found locked in a shed, living in deplorable conditions. Jean Whitefeather and Donald Lance are accused of adopting five kids from a shelter, targeting them for forced labor specifically because of their race. The sheriff's office says they found some of the children in October locked inside a barn. During a welfare check at the couple's home, the two children told authorities they had been inside the small room for about 12 hours when they were found. Neighbors reported that the children were also forced to perform farm labor and were not allowed inside the home. Chief Legal Analyst Kali Frodes joins us now. Kali, this is just a horrible case of neglect. Just wretched what these children went through.
Speaker 5:But let's talk about the charges that this couple faces I mean, you're you're talking about, um, kidnapping, you're you're talking about? Well, let's go back. Disgusting, I think. That's that's the first thing that comes to my mind. When I first looked at this story, it was like am I really reading? This is a parody, like what is actually happening? Uh, but yeah, the trafficking of human trafficking is the number one thing. Child abuse, neglect it runs the gamut of anything, the worst of the worst that you can think about.
Speaker 5:This didn't just start in West Virginia. It actually started in Washington. They were under investigation in Washington and moved to West Virginia, sold both of those properties, both of those properties, the attempt to try to pay their bond. They had a $400,000 combined bond. The judge was like nope, too much, we'll figure something out. We'll make it $500,000 for each of you all. And they kept that money and they said because this property was used in the commission of this crime we believe now it's turned into contraband and so you can't even get your money back. We'll hold that money until this case is resolved and if this money goes anywhere, it should go to those children. I mean, this is just absolutely disgusting, for sure.
Speaker 4:So I mean, do they face any charges of slavery? Because we mentioned that they supposedly adopted these kids for that purpose.
Speaker 5:That would be the neglect, that would be the child abuse, that would be the human trafficking.
Speaker 4:You're not going to see that spelled out you wouldn't.
Speaker 5:But what you would see is, if it was based on race, you could now open the door for the hate crime charges. That's where you'll see that, and if West Virginia is one of the states that doesn't have it which is only a handful that don't what you will see is the federal government will step in. So when you connect the race that was the number one factor for motivating you to do this charge that's when the hate crime will come in and then this charge will be elevated for sure. So that's why the race was involved specifically and obviously the investigators know more than we know, because they're saying they individually target these kids based on their race, and so it had to be text messages, phone calls, something that they know more than just they'd had this adopted group of five kids.
Speaker 4:You would think that with all the checks and balances in the adoption agency's process that something would have come up. But just the couple you said that they were, you know, under investigation in another state Washington, I believe Correct and then, you know, moved to a completely different state, probably to avoid those charges. Does that all play into the severity of their charges, or is that difficult to prove intent there?
Speaker 5:Taking folks across state lines is also another charge. That's where you'll have that human trafficking component. When you take someone from one location to another location against their will, that's where you'll have that. But what I can say is you get these kind of weird cases.
Speaker 5:As a criminal defense attorney, I get cases all the time and I'm like baffled and I'm dumbfounded. Right, this is one where you're not just scratching your head, you're like well, how do I defend this? So I listened to one of the arguments that their defense attorney made and he said well, there was a key in the barn they could have got out. It was a misunderstanding. I'm like if you look at the police report, it said the kids had swords on their feet, looked like they hadn't bathed in a few days, hadn't been fed. I mean, I won't say it's not defensible, but it has to be a serious defense and a reckoning to try to figure out how you can defend this situation and ensure that they don't go to jail because, based on what I see right now, they're going to prison for a long time.
Speaker 4:Well, I mean you talk about the key that was in the barn, supposedly. I mean that doesn't play into the mentality of these children and what they've been through and what they've been trained.
Speaker 5:Right, right.
Speaker 4:Because of the situation they were in just absolutely horrible and hopefully the kids will someday be able to get beyond this.
Speaker 5:For sure.
Speaker 4:Thank you.
Speaker 1:Yeah, family reported on that some some weeks ago. Some time ago. I reported on that, maybe some months ago, I can't remember. Weeks ago, some time ago. I reported on that, maybe some months ago, I can't remember. But what I the the thing is, I'm looking at this just is this case in another case that I'll that I'll bring up in in a moment. But I want to, I want us to understand something.
Speaker 1:Uh, there was, there was a thing that they said in there about hate crimes. Do you know, do you that the FBI I think it was in I want to say 2010, I want to say 2010, maybe later that the FBI, according to their database, said that black people are the most targeted in the United States for hate crimes. So I say I bring that point up to say that there's a lot of people out here, since this election has happened, that some people have jumped on the Republican thing and they on you know, and they on that, and they saying, well, you know, and what's? They're partially right to a degree that the Democrats do a lot of fear-mongering and a lot of the black preachers and black leaders, official leaders, try to incite emotions in black people about um being perpetual victims and some of these people have brought into this. Oh, there's no racism. Why do you say there's no white supremacy and so on and so forth, when we can clearly see that it is?
Speaker 1:Now? This is not coming from yours truly. This is coming from a data bank inside the FBI, the Federal Bureau of Investigations, their database. This is coming from them, not myself. This is not Von Black here telling you what I've observed, what I've came up with. That's not what the case is. So we you know. Back again to this Virginia thing, this, hold on, let me go to the other one.
Speaker 6:Okay, Dark comes to the light and sometimes you don't necessarily want to know what was done.
Speaker 7:Dominique Hackey, the father of one of the Henrico doctors' NICU babies found to have broken bones in 2023, concerned that it has taken so long for justice.
Speaker 6:I remember her being in the room. She was friendly, she answered questions, but she didn't stay and talk like the other NICU nurses did. She wasn't family like the other NICU nurses were.
Speaker 7:He's describing 26-year-old Aaron Strotman, the nurse now in jail charged with felony child neglect and felony malicious wounding related to a different baby in 2024. Strotman was put on paid administrative leave by the hospital for a year after the 2023 cases of NICU abuse came to light and then was allowed to return in late 2024. Hackey saying the hospital should be held accountable as well.
Speaker 6:Because that shouldn't have happened. If they were suspicious of some person enough to let them go, they shouldn't have brought them back. So that's on them. They failed Simple.
Speaker 7:HCA, the network that oversees Henrico Doctors Hospital, issuing this statement saying in part it is shocked and saddened by this development in the investigation and that the hospital is focused on continuing to care for its patients. Strotman was just fired from her job on Thursday, henrico police arresting her that night. Henrico's Commonwealth's attorney, Shannon Taylor, says the investigation is not over and more charges could come as detectives continue to review NICU video footage. We will continue to work on building cases if there is evidence present to build other cases to find if there's additional criminal culpability. Families of some of the young victims from both 2023 and 2024 were present for Strotman's arraignment, seen leaving the courtroom in tears, some hugging each other for comfort.
Speaker 2:Thanks for watching. Stay updated about breaking news.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean, this is what we wanted to bring attention to this. These things here in these two cases are in Virginia. These two cases are in Virginia. These two cases are in Virginia. Now, the latter case that I brought up about the nurse with the fracturing of the bones of the black babies this is why I opened up today's program with the Wisdom Bill degree in the, in the 140. I opened up that. That that's why I did that, so I didn't want to just speak on it and then could go back to it. I opened up with that and I went into these stories and I did that for the reason for, for, for effect, the effect of it, to put you in the mind, to make you think, because, because I know most of you are saying well, what the hell is he opened up with that? What is he talking about? This is what I'm talking about Now.
Speaker 1:We look a lot of times, we look at the lessons, and me and King spoke about this I think it was Friday. We spoke about this last Friday. Friday, we spoke about this last Friday and we were saying that, even though some of the wording or some of the lesson might not be literal or actual, but they are in some cases and you can draw the correlation between the lessons in real life, what's going on. This is why I did this. You know we talked about, we spoke about adoption appearing and how, um, there there are a lot of this is not the only case. There was some things with madonna that she was, you know, have all these black children that she adopted. I'm not saying there was ever any abuse per se going on, but there was some. Was ever any abuse per se going on? But there was some funny type of thing going on with that. That was reported at one point in time. Now there's been other incidents where the you know, white couples and stuff have been accused of, you know, adopting these black children and and doing this, all this weird stuff with them, weird things. I mean, it's like, well, what's going on? Well, why is this happening? Why you know what do? And this is not an isolated, not isolated incident and and a lot of times this is not isolated there's there's a problem.
Speaker 1:There is a problem with some, some of these people that have these sick fantasies. These people had these kids, they had a house and then they had a shed where the children weren't allowed in the house, just like in the old days, the field hands weren't allowed in the big house and they had these children living out in the shed, this little shack, and had them not feeding them. In my estimation of it, they were playing out of fantasy. That's what they were doing, playing out of fantasy. But I just wanted to bring that and make this thing, make people aware of this. I should say Okay and yeah, yeah, family, yeah, and moving right along. I should say Okay and yeah, yeah, family, yeah, and moving right along, moving right along. You don't want to stay because we're not staying up here too long today, but this past week there was, you know, they had the celebration of Dr King and the birthday.
Speaker 1:Now, that said, that said, there's been um, they have released the files, the, the FBI files on on um, the assassination of JFK, uh, and the files for Dr Martin Luther King Jr, and they, um, there's, there is uh evidence, according to these documents, of connections or dealings with communism and communist people, and he has been connected to it. So has Rosa Parks, you know they both went to that school that was basically teaching communism. So I haven't, as as as I'm speaking to you in in this microphone. I haven't read the documents or I haven't studied them or researched them anything to make a a real assessment or a real analogy of what I think I haven't seen. I't seen the documents. I have to keep it real with you. I've been busy and I don't necessarily see it as a horrible thing. I don't know what his dealings were with the communist or communist parties or whatever the communist affiliations, I don't know, or whatever the communist affiliations, I don't know. But um, these files are out and um, their desk is going to make for good content.
Speaker 1:On both sides of the aisle I should say I did hear, I did hear your, your, your little, your little fat buddy there. I heard him, I heard a little bit of his take on and he's like denying it, he don't believe it. And now they trying to destroy dr king, like dr king's legacy, which they cannot do and they cannot do now. Um, we know that the communism takes away the god principle or the religious principle out of things and stuff like that. So Dr King was first and foremost a Christian Baptist preacher of sorts, I guess.
Speaker 1:And there's a lot of people that potentially could be hurt by these documents, potentially could be hurt by these documents, in other words, people that believed in him and loved him so much. We all loved the man. We all loved him. I loved him and I'm not going to sit here in front like I don't. I actually revered Dr King and we know from past stories and rumors and stuff like that to that nature, that he was not a perfect man. He had some flaws, just like the rest of us, but the man did. Overall, in my estimation, he did, some great work. Uh, I've, I'm, I am of the mindset that the desegregation movement hurt us more than it helped us. It harmed us more than it helped us and it set us back about, I'm going to say about 150 years Because it destroyed black businesses, years because it destroyed black businesses. And right on the heels of that movement was the feminist movement, was decimated the black household and the black families. That's my estimation of all of this stuff. Right, I'm not. You know, dr king was not a, not a an angel or a perfect man.
Speaker 1:According to these files, they're saying that he was involved with white prostitution and there's a part of it that said that when they was, I think, somewhere in Paris or Sweden or somewhere when they got the Nobel Peace Prize. When he got that, that same evening they had a wow party at the hotel and there were white prostitutes up there and just it was a mess. And they're talking about these things, about these things, and they saying that J Edgar Hoover and the FBI sent Claretta, his wife, information, letters and pictures and stuff of that nature with him doing his infidelity and his enjoying these white women and stuff like that. They gave these things to her, these documents to her, and sent them to her, and she stayed down with her husband, she stayed down with her man, she made it. They made that in my opinion. In my opinion, that was something for the family to handle. Right, because we all have private lives. But but when you are you a leader and you're in the public, like that, your life is no longer private, you know. So, that said, you know we have to take these things in and view them without. We have to be detached from the emotion of it, right, and look at it for what it is.
Speaker 1:Dr King will always be an iconic figure in the black community. Now I will agree with Roland on one thing they will try to tarnish his legacy and him as a leader with this information? If it's true, I don't know, it seems to be. There's a lot of legs to it. It seems to be right. There's a lot of legs to it.
Speaker 1:It seems to be right because we know that that him and Rosa Parks both went to to study, uh, under, under some type of communism, um curriculum, right, that school, I forget the name of it, but anyway, they, they, they cannot. And that's why I opened up also, right after I read the, the, the degree, the, the um out of the. I followed up and I played a clip from Tariq talking about, uh, scared black people, right, and uh. This is why I opened that up, because we always looking for for someone else out, some or some entity or someone else outside of our selves to solidify us or to qualify us, right, when we have to do that ourselves, we have to do that ourselves. But before I go to um, I go to that. Before I go to that, let me um, let me go to this, because hold on, hold on Seen.
Speaker 9:Dr King on strip club flights with big gold chains. But this little helpful sexy rat just took the disrespect of Dr King to a whole nother level. She posted this photo with her holding hands with Dr King, sed seductively with the honorable Dr King and she thought it was a joke To Dr King's daughter. Bernice King checked her and told her to take that shit down. But then what make matters worse is our own people that supposed to be defending Dr King's legacy got mad, got in their feelings and got in Dr King's daughter's comment session and started defending sexy red. They snapped on Dr King's daughter for defending her father's legacy. This is proof that we living in the last days. Right now. We definitely in the book of Revelation, where evil seems good and good seems evil.
Speaker 9:These little raggedy bald-haired helpers are on here questioning Dr King's daughter's stance for protecting her father's legacy by asking what did sexy red do wrong? Then they started bringing up MLK's old affairs with other women that he allegedly had on his wife Coretta, affairs with other women that he allegedly had on his wife Coretta. Well, let me tell you why this photo is so distasteful and disturbing to the legacy of the honorable Dr Martin Luther King. Dr King fought for equality, he fought for peace and he marched for the freedom of our people.
Speaker 9:Sexy Red is destroying the minds of young women. Sexy Red is destroying the minds of young women. Sexy Red is destroying women's morality and she is a big part of the reasons that our daughters are in big trouble Without an active father present in the house. Sexy Red got a lip gloss line named after STDs and all her songs are anthems for the Jezebels, witches and warlocks. To think that posting a seductive picture holding hands with the honorable, legendary Dr Martin Luther King was harmless is diabolical. Our people is so lost they don't even know the reason. We had an opportunity to be called and named a black millionaire in today's society. It's because dr king died for that. If dr king didn't stand up and fight for freedom, we'll still be in them cotton fields right now to this day. Sexy red.
Speaker 1:All right, all right, that's enough of that. He's going a little wild. Fair use, by the way, that guy named Nino Brown that's his name, nino Brown, his little podcast. It's called we the Business. But fair use, by the way, fair use. My take on that.
Speaker 1:My take on that is this that was very I don't want to say disrespectful. I don't know if the child meant disrespect. I'm not gonna say that she did, because in the picture she's just standing there holding his hand and they're looking at each other. It's an ai generated picture, so I'm not. I didn't see anything disrespect. He he was dressed in a suit and he's standing there with her. It could be a picture where they may be dancing, or just him talking to her. You could draw one of a thousand conclusions from it. It's where your mind is at. The picture didn't look. There wasn't any. She wasn't naked or anything like that. It could have been just him talking to the younger generation. Yo, I don't want to put the disrespectful word on it. However, the daughter of Dr King didn't like it and she spoke on it and that was her right to defend her father the way she saw fit, and we can't take that away from her.
Speaker 1:Now there has been there has been in the past years recently disrespect to him when you have these party promoters would having parties on that day with flyers with him, with do-rags on and gold mouthful grilled, with grilled gold teeth and all that goofy stuff. But you got to understand a lot of these people who are promoting this stuff and putting these images out there. These are not not people of our lineage in most cases. I'm not going to say all because you got some goofy, goofy Negroes that will do some stuff, you know, because everything nowadays is about clicks and views and stuff like that. Youtube, it's attention, attention. Everybody wants attention. Look at me, look, look, I can do the most outrageous stuff. Look what I'm doing. See, ain't nobody else doing this, I'm doing this, I'm the first one doing this. So we in that times but there has been disrespect to his image. Now, again, whatever these files say that he done in his private life concerning his wife or his, his, uh, infidelities, that's between him, his wife and his children, who are now grown in of age to speak on these things or not to speak on them, right? So that's the way I see it. Again, I'm going to say to you that, in my opinion, we are the only ones that have the power to legitimize or delegitimize Dr King. He's our icon and if we say that that sticks, that's what it's going to be.
Speaker 1:You can't change the man's work. You can't change history, what he's done. Whether he made some mistakes along the way yes, he has. I agree 100% with that. He made some major mistakes that I see wrong, right, but he ultimately paid the price, the ultimate price he paid in the fight for, for our liberation and freedom, and that was his life. So you can't take that, you can't erase that, no matter what they say, how many women he slept with, or white women he may have slept with, I don't know, I wasn't there. If you ask me, do I believe it? I would say this anything is possible, anything is possible. He may have, he may have done those things.
Speaker 1:This is why we can't get caught up into personalities and individuals and raise them up above larger than life. There's only a handful that can do that right, and even this, like Muhammad Ali, he was larger than boxing, he was larger than life and he was Was Ali perfect? Did he have some issues? Of course, he did Same thing with Elhaz Malik shabazz. Malcolm x, who we call right, the, the fbi said he was compared to king and the rest of them leaders, that he was like a, like a priest almost. That's how righteous and straight and narrow he was. But he had a past where he was involved in the street life, the criminal life, right, but it doesn't take away from his work and his ultimate price that he paid Mega Evers and all of them. So, yeah, we want to, we want to stay, stay to that. We want to stay to that family.
Speaker 1:What am I going to talk about next? This DEI thing with the Trump. You know, people are losing their minds. They're losing their minds with him rolling back some of these so-called civil rights legislation. He's rolling some of them back. He's doing this DEI thing now, from what I understand, the higher courts blocked some of them back. He's doing this. Did, I think? Now, from what I understand, the the higher, higher courts knock some of his block, some of his stuff, um, concerning um, discrimination and stuff like that or whatever? Some of the di, some of the stuff was was knocked down or blocked by the high court. Um, let's see, let me see. Can I find anything on that? Hold on, because I believe it was Dana that did something on that. I believe it was Dana. Hold on, give me a second. Give me a second. Here it is. This is from Fox. Hold on, let me see Can I get the sound up in here. Hold on, give me one second. They shouldn't be.
Speaker 10:On his first day back in office, president Trump signed an executive order dismantling diversity, equity and inclusion programs in the federal government. He also ended affirmative action in federal contracting, reversing policies dating back to Lyndon Johnson's administration.
Speaker 3:This is him trying to follow through on campaign promises to make it harder for black voters to move forward and to be successful in society.
Speaker 10:Public opinions are mixed. You're not doing away with it.
Speaker 9:no, it's not right. It's going against the grain.
Speaker 10:Former state senator, adam Ollier, sees the changes as a smokescreen to undermine workplace equity.
Speaker 3:This is not about fairness or equity. This is about punishing people who don't vote for him.
Speaker 10:The move is also projected to have a chilling effect on private sector DEI programs. Federal agencies are directed to identify compliance probes for corporations and universities engaged in diversity initiatives, and that's raising some concerns.
Speaker 8:Well, we know that the metrics matter, right, we understand that metrics are important and we know that companies cannot force people to be diverse, to have equity or inclusion.
Speaker 10:Detroit. Pastor Lorenzo Sewell, who attended the National Prayer Service with the president, is very critical of DEI that there was a little, maybe intellectual dishonesty. If you're a proponent of legacy policy, so because your father worked here, we're going to hire you. We're going to give you an advantage because your father went to this Ivy League school.
Speaker 8:Listen, I'm a business owner and I'm also a local church pastor. Anyone that I hire, I don't hire because of their skin color. I don't hire because of their sexual orientation, and I don't know any entrepreneur or any business owner or any government official that says I'm going to select someone because of the way they look or because of their gender. I believe that we live in a country where, if you are the best at what you do and you're the most competent, the bible says that your gift makes room for you well, you heard it, family, you heard it.
Speaker 1:This is what's on going up, going going on around me, um, in the news circuits and stuff. So, yeah, if you ask me my opinion, um, when they they, this was a, a tag tag behind the law. It was right on the heels of um, of um affirmative action, right, and they roll that back. They did away with that. What was that? Last year, sometime early last year, they did away with the affirmative action thing, which which people jumped up and was hooting and hollering in about that and I didn't see to me, I didn't see where, why we was black. People were jumping up and down and ranting and raving about it because, as we know, it was created for us. It was the affirmative action thing.
Speaker 1:But you know, in the 11th hour they threw in the language. They threw in the language at the 11th hour talking about marginalized minorities and this and that, and that allowed other groups to come in, because the people who benefited from that the most were white women. According to the data, it was white women that most benefited from affirmative action. And then it went to another group and another group and another group and another group and we end up getting the crumbs that fell off from the table to the floor. We end up getting the crumbs of that. As usual with any of these programs or set-asides, it's an all-inclusive thing and then, before you know it, this one is getting it, that one is getting it, so we really didn't benefit it for. So so in in my, in my, uh thought of the whole thing is take it, take it, take it, take it because it doesn't. It didn't benefit us the way it was supposed to, the way it was set out to it. Didn't everyone else? Everyone else gained except us. Same thing with this DEI stuff. You get on these jobs and you're supposed to have these EEOCs, equal employment commissions and stuff like this, and it's a bunch of red tape and a bunch of foolishness. They know these companies and these conglomerates know how to work their magic when it comes to avoiding black people or not looking over them or not giving them their due accolades or or promotions or whatever when it comes to these jobs. They'll find a way. They will find a way. So we know. So yeah, I don't, I don't care about that, I don't care. You know, I think that we've become so dependent on government that it has made us weak and crippled us to an extent. Now I'm not saying that there is no dominance of white society, there is white supremacy.
Speaker 1:Now you have people that I was listening to this girl. She has the podcast. I listen to her sometimes. I like some of her stuff, but I notice she's sipping more of the Kool-Aid as time goes on, and that is Aprilil chapman from from the uh standard of truth podcast. She has some good material, good content out there, but I can tell she's starting to sit more and more kool-aid. She's one of these, um, religious type people. You know she's bible's, you know everything is centered around jesus and the bible and a lot of times we know we know family and this is not to knock anybody or to throw any shots at anyone that a lot of those people use that stuff to hide behind. They use the religion and the jesus thing. They hide behind it because they don't really want to face the real. They're so disconnected from the grassroots and people, the ordinary people. They're so disconnected and they use that thing.
Speaker 1:Well, there ain't no white supremacy to me. My Jesus tells me this and my Lord, my Bible, tells me that, and they will tell you that some things don't exist, when we know it does. We don't want to use that as as an excuse to be lazy, which a lot of the democrats have made this a practice, and I get it. I get it. We have to get out of that mentality, that victim mentality. A lot of us use that and we play the race card with a lot of things because we, you know but don't get it twisted there is a system in place to deny us access and to even harm us, and the FBI has said so even harm us, and the FBI has said so.
Speaker 1:So ain't nothing none of these religious folks can tell me or none of these people who are on this Republican thing, tell me, you know, you had your boy, elon Musk, throw up. What it appeared to be was a Nazi type of salute thing or whatever like that. And right away, right away, ben Shapiro and Charlie Kirk and these guys they came out defending him. Even the ADL came out to defend him. The Anti-Defamation League, they came out to defend him. Oh, no, everybody's making a big thing over it. It wasn't that. He's not a Nazi, he's not a racist, he's not this, he's not that. Right, they came right out and defended him, right, and they had to eat crow because the next day, within 72 hours, elon Musk turned around and if you go on to the X or what we used to call Twitter, if you go on to the X space and look and type it in, it come up. After they defended him, he made comments alluding to what was being said. In other words, he was making light of it and using like a kind of Nazi kind of way of brushing it off. You got to go look at it. But he made the ADL, charlie Kirk, ben Shapiro, he made all of them eat crow because they came out defending him. Oh no, he's not. No, no, because I even got a phone call. I mean not even a phone call, it was a text. I got a text from my best friend, right. He texted me. He texted me the incident, he showed me the salute, doing that goofy stuff. Elon Musk did the thing where he put his hand over his heart and then he waved out to the crowd with his arm extended and he is. In the caption it said you see this, you see this Bulls BS. And I went and looked at it and I didn't get upset about it or nothing like that, because it has nothing to do with me and this is what I relayed to him. There shouldn't be any black people that's upset about this or whatever. You know, you got those bandwagon jumpers, see, I told you. See, I told you that Project 2025 coming, see, I told you. See, I told you that Project 2025 coming. I told you they was going to do it. They was Nazi, they racist. Look how racist they are. That ain't got nothing to do with us. Let Ben Shapiro and the Jewish communities deal with that. Was it a dog whistle? To me it looked like a dog. He was dog whistling. It looked like just what. It looked like a nazi salute. I ain't gonna play no games up here, man. I'm come if it. If it walk like a duck and quack like a duck, then it's. It's not a tiger, so let's stop playing games.
Speaker 1:The guy did what he did and then they came out and defended him and then he turned around and made them eat crow because he joked about it. But let them deal with that. That doesn't have any concern of the descendants of the emancipated, the freedmen. Is it a terrible thing he did? Yes, they know that, but let them deal with that, just like I've been telling all of Fred and all of them Ever since the election oh see, everybody got to be comfortable with the choice. They mean some people voted for Trump. See what they got. See now y'all going to see man, listen, listen, let whatever they already been imploding. Now, I'm not a Trumper. I'm glad that the Democrats didn't win, I'm glad of that. But I'm not a republican, I'm not a trumper, I'm not a maggot. I don't care. Let them people implode, let them deal with their own problems. That's on them. I don't care either way, whether it was a nazi salute, it's. It's a horrible thing that he that he did that, in my opinion. But that is not my fight. Let them deal with that.
Speaker 1:Nobody speaks up for us when these people Democrats and Republican both take shots at us as black people. You heard Ramaswamy. You heard him when he was on the campaign running for president. You heard him that all of these unnecessary holidays, juneteenth and all this stuff they are necessary. He was taking shots directly at us. Nobody said a word about it. I don't remember any Jewish organization say you know what Vivek Ramaswamy is doing and what he's saying is so horrible. I don't remember anybody saying that. So, hey, not saying we doing a tit-for-tat thing, but blank, but family, let's mind our business. That has nothing to do with us. And and we getting upset and getting on these people, getting on these podcasts and getting in front of camera, camera and yelling and screaming, and yeah, you know all upset about what these people are doing, it has nothing to do with us. You understand that's where we at with it now. That said, that said family, that said right.
Speaker 1:On that same note, I got a phone call the other day from my godson's father, my good friend Mike not gonna say his last name up here, maybe he doesn't want that, I don't know. But he called me and I said yo, I answered the phone. I said what's up, man? But he called me and I said yo, I answered the phone. I said what's up man? And he says to me he says man, did you see this? Did you see this thing I saw on the Internet about Trump taking away some of the federal holidays? So I said no, I didn't, I didn't see that. I said you know what holidays are you talking about?
Speaker 1:He said well, like President's Day and Martin Luther King birthday and this, this and that, so I looked for it. I couldn't find anything about it. I typed it in, I Googled it or whatever. I couldn't find anything. I said because I was in the car, I was out running some errands, and I said, well, I was in the car, I was out running some errands and I said, well, what link was it? He was like, no, I just seen it on the internet and I was looking at a video and he was talking about it and I said, well, how does, if they were to take, if they were to roll back some of the federal holidays, like dr king day and stuff like that, we observe his, his um day, that that day, his birthday or whatever.
Speaker 1:I think it is his anniversary of his birth. I said how would that make you feel? And he went around the question and was like, well, I think it's a deserved time off from work and we, you know, we work hard for it and getting it put into law, that is an observation day for us and this and that. But I said again, the question I asked you was, how does it make you feel? And he wouldn't say it. I don't know if he was trying to avoid the question or whatever. He was just giving his honest opinion on what he thought of it. And he went into it and he said, well, I think it's messed up or whatever, that they would do that, and that was his stance on it.
Speaker 1:So my thing, when I said, well, if you call to ask mine what I think of it, if it is true, because, like I said, I looked it up and I didn't see anything, or maybe he did, or whatever, I don't know. I didn't look at all of his um executive orders, but my, my position on it would be if he did roll it back, okay, now what you know, you got people jump. Well, that's messed up. No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1:See, the thing is, the thing I look at is this to tell us when and where and how we honor and celebrate our icons. We don't do that. It's up to us to solidify these legacies, from our Harriet Tudmans, right From our Fannie Lou Hammers, right From our Dr Kings, malcolm X, all of these great ones, elijah Muhammad. It's up to us to solidify the legacy of these people and celebrate them the way we want to, when we want to. If we the holiday we just put into place, the Arrata Sase, the Arise holiday on the 24th of December, it's up to us to solidify that and put that, just like we put FBA the term FBA into the lexicon.
Speaker 1:Everybody's talking about that. That was a power move. We don't understand the power if you look back in the annals of our history. This is why everybody is going so hard at the hip-hop thing. Right, let me get some music back in as I talk. Right, right, you had children. These were children in the 1970s, early 1970s. Some say 70, 71. These were pre-teenage children that created this genre of music. 53, 54 years later, here we are the biggest music genre in the entire world. Here we are the biggest music genre in the entire world.
Speaker 1:The culture itself influences the whole world. You go, I don't care where you go Russia, japan, new Zealand, wherever you go you got people dressing like us, trying to emulate our dress, our talk, our mannerisms and our talk, our mannerisms and our music and our culture. They love fried chicken in Austria. So what does that tell you? We have the power to solidify who and what we want to solidify who, we, who and what we want to solidify as legacy. So if we came up with a holiday, whether it's a Rete Sussay, which is on the 24th of December, and we know the next day is the observance of the Christian Christmas holiday, on the 25th, right Now, we can go into it, which I'm not going to go into it up here, but we know that whole thing has nothing to do with someone called Christ. That whole thing was a made-up thing and we're not going to go into it here. But we know that whole thing is fugazi, we know that, but it's the biggest observance in the entire world, from around the globe, that people celebrate December 25th, and it has nothing to do with nothing that's in the Bible or none of that, the winter solstice or nothing, right, but they were able to solidify that as a legacy and they they don't. They made it. They made it what they wanted to make it and we have to do the same thing, for instance, for instance.
Speaker 1:So the first thing my man said to me, before I get into what I'm going to say, first thing my man said to me is yeah, but people can't take off from work like that, you know, and stuff. I said well. I said well, why? I said because he said because it's not a federal holiday day to date, you know you won't get paid for it. I said, well, here's the thing, right, let's look at, let's look at the chinese new year. Those people celebrate that. Some of them are open for business because they know people are going to patronize their own people are going to patronize their, their restaurants and their businesses on the Chinese New Year celebration.
Speaker 1:Same thing with the St Patrick's uh day thing, the parade. That's not a federal holiday, but there are millions of Irish people from that are born here in America and visiting from Ireland that come to go to that parade. They not at work, dumb people out there at that parade, drunken and sailors. They be drinking that beer and that liquor, that Irish whiskey and them. People be all over the city, midtown, manhattan, millions of them. They not at work. That's not a federal holiday. They're not waiting for somebody to tell them that they can't celebrate St Pat's Day. You understand, and we got to be the same way. But it's back to why I played.
Speaker 1:I opened up with the Tariq thing talking about the scared Negroes. We scared, afraid of power, and that's the whole thing what it is we afraid of power. I got on some of my family back here a couple years ago about st patrick's. I had us. Some of the women was on posting their corn, beef and cabbage they cook for st patrick's day. That thing ticked me off so bad. I'm like what are y'all doing? Why y'all celebrating that? I don't know. Irish people observe Dr Martin Luther King, which most people have the day off because it's a federal holiday. But that's all it is to them is a day off. They don't celebrate Juneteenth or cook cakes, bake cakes on Juneteenth. So why are y'all doing that? And you're posting these pictures on Instagram and Facebook about your corn, beef and cabbage. Happy St Patrick's Day.
Speaker 1:I'm like, what Are y'all serious? This is where our mind's at. We'll break our necks to solidify and glorify other people's culture, but not ours. We worrying about a day off and whether we're going to get in trouble, because if we take a day off for our affairs and events, nah, that's not power, that's weakness. Power is when you don't care about getting paid for the day off. You're going to whatever event it is your people are celebrating and you're going to be a part of it to participate in it. That's power. That's power right there. But again, most of us are scared of power. Let me play something else from tarik hold on, hold on. Give me a second family.
Speaker 2:Hold on now I'm talking about right now, today, the minute black boys get around some white people all of a they done, popped up with a damn dress on. They're all types of sexual, even black girls. When they get around, when they're raised by a lot of white people, there's always something happening to them, always, especially in Hollywood. I mean, my goodness, this is the buck breaking down for the world buck breaking.
Speaker 1:I'm going to fast forward. I'm going to fast forward. Did y'all see a clip of?
Speaker 2:Jaleel White, the actor from the show Family Matters. He did an interview. He was talking about how they made him put on a dress. He got into a character named Myrtle Urkel and how his dad had to shut that down. His dad had said, hey, enough is enough. Let me play that clip of Jaleel White gotta stop being afraid of power.
Speaker 2:That happens. We gotta stop being afraid of power. See, a lot of black folks are scared of that. So you're scared to be scrutinized. Because we know instinctively when we start doing something that's very successful and I'm talking about successful, that is competitive to the dominant society, success levels then we start getting investigated. They start looking in boxes, they start asking questions about paperwork. That's part of the game. That's why you always got to have your your paperwork in order. Everything is in order. We just we're selling educational dvds, we're educating the masses. Shout out to our brother waka flaka. He was supporting the movie down in atlanta. He got a copy of the movie at um, um, the Nubian bookstore, you know. But that's part of the game. And, by the way, we're going to have the streaming version available pretty soon. We're going to have that available pretty soon.
Speaker 2:But the thing is family, this movie and just the movement behind it. Man, this was a hard blow to the white supremacists and the dominant society and their agendas and they got a lot of the white LGBT. Boy, they are pissed. The white LGBT, see, they're in a pickle right now because, see the white ones, they can't try that homophobia stuff because they haven't seen the movie. And if you saw the movie, there's nothing homophobic about the movie. Let's be very clear. They know this and we know this. That's their calling card to label black people homophobia for challenge, homophobic for challenging them.
Speaker 2:But the thing is what the white supremacists are doing they're going to start getting their negro minions, a lot of the, the tethered black lgbt who are beholden to the white LGBT organization for crumbs off the table. So I've been hearing a little, some whispers from some of these non-FBA LGBT black folks caping for white mommy and white daddy. See, this is who they're going to. Y'all going to see a lot of them pretty soon Because, see the white LGBT, they know they better, know if they come out, the white LGBT, they know they better. If they come out and say something, they know they're already going to get that business. Everybody's ready to give them that work because the movie is focusing on the racism of the white LGBT community and the devastation that they've levied upon black people for centuries. But see, there's a lot of these black folks who are connected to these lgbt organizations, these white run lgbt organizations, so they're trying to get brownie points.
Speaker 1:They're sitting up here talking about yeah, there was sexual exploit yeah, I could listen to tarik man, I could listen that whole thing. But you know, I just wanted getting back to that being afraid of power thing. That's very important. We have to get out of that mindset where we skip. You know, I was on um, I was going back and forth with my man, fred, fred kiss, on the um, on the facebook page, and his his thing was, you know, he was telling me I'm very confrontational with my rhetoric and you know the things I talk about up here. It only matters to me. I can't be so confrontational because my opinions only matter. I said, look, man. I told him, look, let me tell you something, man. I have Right now country, right now country right now, family, this podcast we doing up here. We have reached 26 countries globally and 257 cities of y'all listening to what's going on up here, right of y'all listening to what's going on up here, right. So it's just not my opinion, man. I'm not dealing with my opinions and my feelings up here. I'm not. I'm not. I find what is truthful to our people, what I deem to be helpful, and I try to come up here and I try to talk about those things that concern us, and I do it from a matter of truth.
Speaker 1:Now, back to the power thing. I explained to him, you know, because this thing I'm too confrontational, right, and I explained I'm not confrontational enough, I'm not doing enough. I haven't even touched the YouTube streets yet, or the other social media uh platforms. I haven't even touched them. Right now we're on spotify, our heart and a couple other um podcast, streaming platforms, audio platforms. I haven't touched the video part of it yet, because there there is. I'm not going. I'm gonna be fair and and speak the truth, even if it's against my own self.
Speaker 1:I've been not so much procrastinating with it, but I've been very uh, apprehensive with it because, first of all, I'm camera. I'm very camera shy, but I'm trying to, I'm fighting my way through it and I'm trying to get this done Because I want to To step into that arena. I really do, right, I want to put a face to it. You hear my voice every week, but I want to. I want y'all to see me and I want to interact with y'all. That's why I tell you All the time family, leave texts, leave comments on the text, so we can interact with y'all wherever you at right. Not only that, not only that is. You're telling me I'm too confrontational.
Speaker 1:I said, well, when you're approaching power, you can't approach power. Power is not a subtle thing, it's not a delicate thing, it's not. Power is something you can't face, tiptoeing and whispering. You don't come up on power like that, peeking around corners to see if danger is around you. That's not how you walk into power.
Speaker 1:Power is unapologetic. That's what power is. It's unapologetic. It's also exclusive. It's not inclusive, it's exclusive. Everybody can't come in. This is a private affair here. Everybody's not welcome in.
Speaker 1:This is what makes power attractive is when you exclude. It makes people wonder well, why can't I go in there? What's the reason why I can't? No, no, no, no, no. We're doing our thing over here. You have to step back, please. Step behind the rope, please. It's not an inclusive thing, it's exclusive and you can't approach it tiptoeing and whispering Shh, shh, shh.
Speaker 1:Don't say that now. Don't get them upset, don't say it too loud. You can come over here and huddle up and talk no, no, no, no, we're not doing that. We've no, no, no, we're not doing that. We done that already. We done that. We had to do that on the plantations. Talk in private and whisper because we were trying to get off, and that's what we're trying to do now. But we're not whispering no more. We letting it be known. We're getting off of the plantation. We want out. Whoever don't like it can kiss the wind. We letting it with bold proclamations no, we want out of this.
Speaker 1:This, the thing that has been going on, the business as usual. We ain't having it, no more. And this is why so many of the Democrats and the black elected officials are so upset because we're being unapologetic about what we want. We told you what we want. You decided not to pay attention. You didn't want to hear what we had to say. That's why you lost the election. You crashed and burned. You're still burning. You still got burning. You're still flaming, just like the, these people in these caucuses and stuff. And he sees, and we gearing up for the midterms. That's what we coming after next. Keep playing, keep not listening to us and doing everything. You got these people now.
Speaker 1:The president done, signed these orders, done, gave the powers back to Homeland Security and the ICE agencies and stuff. You got these Democratic mayors that are actually putting their careers in jeopardy just to stand up for these illegal people. But you won't give the citizens here a thing, especially the black ones, you won't do nothing. You start scratching your head and humming and hawing. Well, you know, but when it comes down to them foreign folks and them illegals you got to open checkbook, am I correct? You got to open checkbook, am I correct? You got an open checkbook?
Speaker 1:The billions in 2024, they've sent over $50 billion $50 billion to foreign aid. And you know where most of that went. You know where most of it went To Israel and to Ukraine. What have you given the foundations? What have you given the emancip? What have you given the emancipated that you really owe? You owe? You won't pay that debt, but you'll send some $50 billion to foreign aid in 2024. That's what you spent. $50 billion. That's what I researched and got that number. It may be more, maybe up in the trillions, who knows, but that's what we're dealing with family, we're going to get ready to depart.
Speaker 1:We're going to get ready to depart because we've been up here long enough. I didn't intend to stay this long, but we got to go. We got to go and as always, as always, it's a pleasure to come up here and sit and talk with you for a little bit, and we always respect life and we love justice and we cherish freedom and we're going to treasure the peace. Y'all go in peace and keep the peace and I'll see you next week and we'll come back and do it again and we'll talk about the things that are important to us Peace.
