When Knowledge Meets Reality: A Deep Dive into Black America's Future
Thank you for watching Peace.
Speaker 2:Peace and welcome back to Freedman's Affairs Radio, the Freedman's Network. I'm your host, vaughn Black, here and right out the gate. We want to thank you for smashing that button and tapping back in with us again this morning. We're dealing April 1st, we're dealing with knowledge, april 1st 2025. Knowledge is the situation we deal and, but today? But today, as you hear me playing the theme up in here, and like I always said at the very beginning of this program, when we opened, when we first started, I told you that these waters had sharks in them and we got one of those sharks up here today with us and that is my big brother. I promise you he was coming up and he's here and, uh, come on in, malik, peace, peace, peace. How you feeling, black man?
Speaker 3:Good how you man.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I'm feeling wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Anytime you come up here, man, it's like man, it's just. I know it's going to be good. So it's a big old smile on my face right now. So we're going to make it special.
Speaker 3:We've been having these conversations for the last 30 years. You just putting it, just recording it now yeah, that's it.
Speaker 2:That's it, you know, you know. But yeah, man, it's um, the, the, this, this thing's been crazy, crazy. Before we get into the topics for today, I'd like to. I hadn't spoke to you about it, but last week I met with the United States Freedmen's Project and the chairs, the chairman for them. I had a meeting with him Well, it was, it wasn't actually me and his meeting he was. He invited me because technically, I'm not on the, the committee, I'm not on any committee with them.
Speaker 2:I'm not exactly, uh, an official partner or member with them I don't know what the word is to use, but I work with them very closely and, and you know, I'm volunteering my time and whatever I can do to help them. And they, they've made me feel like part of the family, so whenever they hold a meeting I'm there. And this meeting was, you know, it was a update on the um, the. The um was an update on the push for the reparations here in New York State and it was pretty good. The sister Brooke was there. She came in. She came in after a while because they did Zoom, so there was a few of us there at the meeting and then they opened it up to the Zoom to other members of the Freedmen's Project.
Speaker 2:So yeah, so I'm a an official member of the group. But you know I was, you know I'm. They treat me like family, same same up here, when, when I, whenever, and he told me he wanted to come back up. Um brother divine, I don't know if you caught that playback with him, I did with him.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I heard one of them. I think it was the first one you did.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, yeah, I only did one with him. He's only been up here once, so that's the one. Yeah, he's coming back. I believe it's next week, I think it's next week.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I heard him speaking, though on, I think, the one you did last week.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I played a little clip of him. Yeah, I played a little clip of him. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but he's coming.
Speaker 3:That's important, man.
Speaker 3:That is very important what they're doing, because you know we learn from our mistakes, you know, and we're looking at what went wrong before and we see that what went wrong before. When you know, we turn up and then they say, okay, well, look, we got to. We got to get up off of this here, we got to get up off something and give these black folks something before they tear this place down, you know, but in the end, when they develop it, they do it in a way that they can slip that language in at the end and take back whatever it is that was given. You know, and the Civil Rights Movement, what they did with the word minorities. You know, this was supposed to be something that was specifically meant to repair Black folks, but when they put the word minority in there, that made it everybody eligible for it. Anybody could be considered a minority, and the biggest beneficiaries of that were white women, you know, because even though their husbands owned the businesses and they profited from it, they themselves didn't own the business, so they consider themselves a minority and took the set aside that was supposed to be for us to become repaired, you know. So now, with this reparations thing, you need a committee like that in order to look at the language, because they'll try the same thing again.
Speaker 3:You know we already got all these other groups that are trying to jump on the bandwagon. You know, saying that, oh, it should be for all black folks, right, but this is not something that's for everybody. This is specific to the descendants of the freedmen, who were descendants of our ancestors that were enslaved. These people came over here centuries later. They're not eligible for that. They're not eligible for that, you know, and I think they know it. But the position that they're in, they feel that they have to join the side of the people that are in charge, or else they'll get deported, you know, or they'll lose the benefits that they're getting, you know, and regardless to'll lose the benefits that they're getting, you know, and regardless to what benefits they are and how they're living, it could be a hundred times greater than where they came from, you know. So they don't want to give that up. So, and instead of them fighting along with us, you know, they're in a position where they got to fight against us for their own, or what they believe is their own, survival. You know, and it's sad, but it's good that you know, we're waking up to the fact that we have to look at these contracts and we have to look at these bills and we have to make sure they don't put poison pills in there. You know, because we got people that are actively fighting to make sure that there's nothing that's going to be given that's going to be race-based Right. But our claim is not race-based, our claim is lineage-based, you know, and we are the descendants of the freedmen and the freedmen were the ones that worked, sweat bled, died in order for us to be able to survive. You know, and they were told, they were promised certain things. Everybody likes to use the term 40 acres and a mule and $100 to buy a seed. You know, but it's deeper than that, because it wasn't just what they promised us that we didn't get, it was what we built that they took away.
Speaker 3:You know, and there's so many different instances and places and things that they have done. You know that requires them to repair and one of the main things is the income inequality. You know the separation. We need the reparations so we can repair that. You know how separation we need the reparations so we can repair that.
Speaker 3:You know how is it that the top 1% own more wealth than the bottom 90%? You know, you got three people Elon Musk, jeff Bezos, zuckerberg, mark Zuckerberg, facebook yeah, they have more wealth than 170 million Americans. You got CEOs, these major corporations that make 300 times more than the average worker, and all this happened because of this 75 trillion dollar transfer of wealth that went from the bottom 90% and went to the top 50%, and it's all. It's like a monopoly. They can say what they want.
Speaker 3:There are laws against it, but they've done it. You've got three big corporations, international corporations BlackRock, vanguard and State Street. They own 95% of American corporations. They got the economics to buy political power, you know, and 60% of the average Americans are living from paycheck to paycheck. You know it's crazy, but this is the position we're in and this is why reparations is something. That's not for us to leapfrog over other groups of people or anything like that. It's to pay what they owe. That's what it is. When somebody owes you, they got to pay and one way or another, they they got to pay and one way or another, they're gonna pay.
Speaker 2:That's why I got much respect for the brothers watching yeah, this is why I do I do what I do. I'm up late at night a lot of times and I'm right back up. I go to lay down late and I'm back up early, I get in here in the office and start drafting emails and doing what I gotta do and then I start taking care of my business and making my daily phone calls and doing you know and that type of thing. But I start off with with the work first, whether it's whether it's research or something I didn't do the night before and I'll do a continuance in the morning. But one thing you said that was very important, that the reason why for these committees and different things like the United States Freedmen Project, the reason why they're important, is because, like you said, to make sure the language and that's what part of what that meeting was about the other night was that we had there was some language. Because I'm new to a lot of this. You know things dealing with bills and stuff like that. I'm learning this stuff as I'm entering into this phase of this work.
Speaker 2:And so we're sitting there and divine had the laptop open and he had. He had the um, the bill or the. He had the bill up on on the computer and I'm looking at it and I'm looking at the language and I'm saying and I'm pointing to it because I didn't want to interrupt him while he was talking because he had the rest of the people on the Zoom so I'm pointing to the bill and I'm saying what's this? And he addressed it right away. He said yeah, that's the language, we have to deal with that and it had that African-American word in it and so on and so forth. And he said this is part of the reason why we're meeting, because we have we're trying to get the language aggregated out of that language. We're trying to get it aggregated. And this is the proposal that we're pushing is to get these, some of these language and some of these bills aggregated.
Speaker 3:And then I understood that's the poison pill. Exactly, then I understood.
Speaker 2:It's the poison pill. It's the poison pill.
Speaker 3:Exactly. They go through all the motions like they're going to do something, but they put something in there that, in the end, is going to sink the whole thing. You know, because as soon as you, by putting that language in there, then you got them. Guys, what's his name? Ed Bloom, or something like that. Ed Bloom, yeah, ed Bloom, you, yeah, you know he's dead set against any type of race-based benefits for anybody, right, you know, and he's just sitting back and waiting, you know, and they put this stuff. They did it in California, you know, and they're going to try to do it here too.
Speaker 2:Well, I'm going to keep it a buck with you Right now. The way that commission has this thing written up in the language they're proposing to put on the floor, it's going to die as soon as it's introduced. It will die because of the race-based situation. It is unconstitutional to have a race based uh compensatory proposal like that. It's not. It's not going. It's going to die. It's not even going to go up for a vote. And ed blum, like you said, he's sitting in the in the bushes just waiting and see.
Speaker 2:Now, here's the problem, here's the problem. What we up against on these come, these commissions, whether it be cal, now california those were a lot of them were were foundational black people they were, they were descendants of freeman, but we all know they, they, those negros in in high places, the black faces in high places, they, they, they're not going to do anything. Their, their job is to not do anything. Now, when it comes to the New York one, that New York, the New York Reparations Commission, is filled with foreigners, filled with foreigners. Most of the people in that commission is from the Caribbean. Yeah, and they don't. They're not, they're going to. You got to go back to, to something Byron Donald said. I mean, I forget, I think it was a breakfast club he was on and they asked him about reparations and he said he was against it because his mother is Jamaican and she wouldn't be eligible for it. Right, and I think his father was Panamanian, or something like that. So now that's the problem, because now, when this thing comes up for a vote, what you think he's going to vote, what you think is going to be his vote? No, because his, he has no. But see, this is where they shoot themselves in the foot and they wonder why we delineating because of you. If you would stop and think.
Speaker 2:I was listening to a live that Brother Afro Elite had put up the other day. He hosted a live and there was a Jamaican sister that got up there and spoke. He hosted a live and there was a Jamaican sister that got up there and spoke, and she's the one of the first ones that I heard say anything that made any type of logical sense. She said she's married to a, to a foundational. He's a foundational black American. She's married to him. And they talk about the reparations and different things like that. And he said to her but you're my wife, you know if, what? If you don't, you know you're not going to qualify. She's she's like don't worry about that, because once y'all get it, it's only a matter of time before the rest of the diaspora gets it People in the Caribbean, people in the continent of Africa.
Speaker 3:You know. But see, the problem is they're not. You got people that have a very short attention span and because of that short attention span, they can't see far and plan far into the future, far into the future. So they don't understand that, once we get it that, that'll be a how did I say? That will be a seed for them to fight for the reparations from the people that oppressed them in their land. And the only thing that's going to stop that seed is that they keep up this nonsense that they're doing and trying to prevent us from getting it. You know, because, as far as we understand right, the oldest military strategy is divide and conquer, and that's what the 1%, these oligarchs, that's what they do. If they can keep us fighting against each other, then we won't say wait a minute. How is it that one man can have a billion dollars and the next man can have nothing, and they both put forth the same money.
Speaker 3:And the problem is what I like to consider as, or what I like to call, the perfection of capitalism. You know, because that's all that it is. Capitalism has been perfected to the point where you've got one person that could have billions and billions of dollars, you know, and it doesn't matter that he has exploited these people to get there. You know, and it's acceptable, because instead of us looking and striving and fighting and trying to get codes where we can help everybody, we're fighting against each other for the crumbs that's falling off of their table. The wealth in this country is already locked down Through stocks, through real estate and other investments, and the remaining 13% is what the bottom 90% is fighting. So if they can keep us fighting against each other, then we're not going to be focusing on fighting against them.
Speaker 3:People that are exploiting us with low wages and poor health care. How is it the richest country in the world got the poorest health care system in the world? You know where you got 87 people who are either uninsured or under insured. You know, and because it's all about the perfection of capitalism, they make money off the drugs. They make money off of the insurance companies that provide insurance for health care. You know, and that's what their focus is. Their focus is not on population health, on improving the health of the people. It's all making money. How do they make money? And selling insurance which is used for different operations and treatments, some of them that are totally unnecessary. With proper education, you know. But I'm digressing a little bit here. Let's get back to the subject.
Speaker 2:Well, you heard me. See, I didn't interrupt you because I'm following it. You know, I'm following it. Here it is here, it is right. This is why the delineation was so important. Now see, when we say delineation, it's not just from other melanated people or from different countries. See the first thing the Africans jump up oh, you're being divisive. Caribbean people jump up oh, you're being divisive. Yes, because the last time I checked, division is a mathematical expression that solves problems.
Speaker 3:That's right.
Speaker 2:You understand, that's how I look at division. So division is not a bad thing, necessarily solves problems, and it's solving a problem that we have for the longest, and that is the, the illusion that there was some pan-africanism, the illusion that there was some fellowship with our kinsmen from across the waters, the illusion of it, and it's not just delineation from them, it's delineation from the negroes, right from our lineage.
Speaker 3:We delineate from them too and we're also making it clear that the delineation is because of the tethers. It's not all Africans that we have said, okay, well, we got to close ranks on, it's the ones that come over here and undermine us. They come over here and undermine us. They come over here and they fight against us. They come on jobs and they actively recruit one another against us. They tell the people don't mess with them. These Black Americans is no good. Meanwhile, the whole world has advanced because of our culture. Around the world, the things that we did, the things that we say, the things that we do, the adventures that we had, you know, the entertainment that we provide, the sports that we provide, all of this is our culture and they all benefit from it. But they don't want us to benefit from it. It wouldn't be like Parasite, just sucking the blood and sucking the blood and sucking the blood. But when the host says you know what? That's enough, start flicking them fleas off.
Speaker 3:You know now they're panicking because you thought by coming over here, you know, and joining forces with the same ones that colonized you in your country, that made you say, okay, I've got to get up out of here, let me go to America where I can make some money. Took all the resources out of here, economically deprived our culture, there's nothing here, let me go to America, there's nothing here, let me go to America. Instead of coming to America and saying, okay, let me start from the bottom and step up and I'm going to go to the people that look like me, that are in the same position, and we find out how to move. No, what do they do? They join sides with the same people that destroyed their country. They come over here and join sides with them against us. So then we say, you know what? Let's start taking a closer look at things.
Speaker 3:When that happens, right, instead of just saying, okay, this is all, everybody here is just flat black, we all the same. Let's find out who it is that's causing all these problems. Okay, and put the blame where it belongs. Okay, if it's the foundation of black American that's causing all these problems, okay, and put the blame where it belongs. Okay, if it's a foundational Black American, that's a coon, that's a tether. We call them out and we tell you right away. This is Jesse Lee Peterson. This is Vincent Everett Ellison. These are the people that are against us, and we're calling them out, right, but they don't call out the ones that are against us that are amongst them, because either they got the same mindset as them or they're on the side of the oppressor.
Speaker 2:Okay, and this is the reason why we had to delineate yeah, well see, the thing is, that is all of that, what you said and plus the fact of the thing is that is all of that. What you said and plus the fact of the matter is is that they that's the culture they come from. They over there knocking each other upside down and cutting each other throats and jumping over each other, that's what they come from. So when they come here, it's easy, they can do that at home with their own. When they come here, man, it's just a thing.
Speaker 2:But here's the thing, right, and I heard Phil Scott say this. He said now everything you just said. He said it and also he said that dumb folks look at you. You think you doing something by siding with them against us, but you don't know how crazy them folks looking at you, you think you're doing something by siding with them against us, but you don't know how crazy them folks looking at you See, when they and like Professor Black Truth always say, when white supremacy gets done with their tools, they don't put them away and stock them where they could use them again, they break them. They break them.
Speaker 2:They have no use for you there's no so what I'm saying is, now that you done, did that? You done served their purpose. You done came over here. You delineated the minute you got off the boat or the plane or however you got over here you delineated. Now they looking at you when they ain't got no more use for you. They looking at you like alright, now, what't got no more use for you. They looking at you like all right now what you doing here, man, move your ass around, get out from, get back to where you come from. That's why now they crying about the deportations, they crying to us now.
Speaker 3:Exactly. They say why are you not marching?
Speaker 2:with us. I'm good man, we ain't coming out there, we marching with us.
Speaker 3:I'm good man, we ain't coming out there, we ain't doing no marching. And what did you say? You said, oh, these Yankee boys and all these Akatas and all these Jareel, they got all these secret names that they call us, they denigrate us, call us lazy and all this here you know. So we said okay, you know what Y'all want to stand among yourself. Okay, stand by yourself, we're gonna stand by ourselves. Our great historian, scholar, teacher, baba john henry clark. He said and I know it was just a pipe dream, but it was an idea he said what Africa needs to do is close its doors. Don't let nobody in, don't let nobody out. Take a complete inventory and find out the strength that you have right, and then start inviting people in to do business, and that way you will always remain on top right.
Speaker 3:The problem is there's no such thing as flat black. Not even Africans believe that they're flat black. They don't even believe they're the same people and they can live from the same country. You can have different tribes in the same country, speak the same language. They're different tribes and they don't even consider themselves as brothers and sisters. The only ones they consider as their own brothers and sisters are the ones in the same tribe or the same family. They don't believe in blackness over there and they don't practice it over there. But when they come over here, they don't believe in blackness over there and they don't practice it over there. But when they come over here they say oh, we all the same, everybody, african. No man, we're not going for that, no more. Okay, we're not going for that, no more. If you're down with us, then you roll with us and we're not going by what you say, we're going by what you do. That's what we look at. What you do, what are your actions?
Speaker 2:Right. And to add on to that is when we say, yeah, you can come over, we want you on the sideline. You don't speak for us, you follow our league and you move in our shadows. We don't need you up front talking. Move how you move in our shadows.
Speaker 3:We don't need you up front talking Now. You know that they don't even have a dollar amount for how much each individual would get from reparations, but it's somewhere. It could be anywhere from $150,000 to a million dollars per person Right Now. There is no foundational Black American that I know that I grew up with that would say no, we don't need that. You know, unless it's somebody who is very wealthy. Even the people that are very wealthy ain't going to turn down $150 to $1 million in reparation. The only ones who say we don't need that are, like you said that, congress. What was his name? Byron Donaldson, whatever his name was.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Byron Donaldson, Byron Donaldson.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's somebody who know they're not eligible for it and because they can't get it they don't want you to get it. Talk about crabs in a barrel. That is the real crab barrel syndrome, you know. But the delineation movement, man, I'm telling you I have never been so excited about our people waking up than ever before. We know this is the age of knowledge and everything is being revealed. But I'm so glad that people are waking up and when you look back you can see this is why we were bombarded with mind-altering substances through the years. It started with the acid and the heroin in the 60s, then it went to the coke in the cracks in the 70s and the 80s and then it went to the bollies and all these other pills and all this stuff. Because they knew that you got to keep that black mind away from truth. Because once the truth get in there and it starts spreading around, they ain't no stopping. You know they ain't no stopping. They can do whatever they want. They ain't no stopping.
Speaker 3:The Lineation Movement is strong. People are understanding. You know people who at one time we could say oh, these people are slaves of a mental death, of power. They don't know people are waking up. The mental death part is vastly diminishing. It hasn't went away yet, but it's vastly diminishing and there are many of us that are waking up. It's a beautiful thing. It's a beautiful thing to witness.
Speaker 2:Right, that's why that Pan-African stuff is dead. That's dead. They can put the nail in the coffin because that's over with. But here's the thing. Here's the thing. What you just said is going to segue into the actual We've never been up here 32 minutes already but the actual topics that we intended to touch. You just segued right into that, and that is um.
Speaker 2:I'm gonna bring up I don't know if you, if you're aware of the um, the, the executive order by president trump one one, two, four, six, and let's, can we pull it up here? Let me see, can I pull it up here? Yeah, there it is. Yeah, executive order one one, four, two, one one, two, four, six, signed by President Lyndon Mays Johnson in 1965, required federal contractors and subcontractors to take affirmative action to ensure equal employment opportunity, and it was rescinded by President Donald Trump on January 21st of 2025. Now, you know what that is? What that's about, right? That's about the, the right for contractors to ban people using the same restrooms, and that kind of thing. You know?
Speaker 2:Uh, you remember about a week or two ago they was, it was a real hot topic and people were losing their minds about it, especially on the democratic left, and they, they been. They been trying to get. Wow, what was that? Yeah, I heard a noise like like it was okay, that's you, that's you fumbling around back there, okay, but yeah, okay, yeah, I could hear clear through the mic.
Speaker 2:But here, here's the thing. Right, um, the the. So here's the thing with this. If they are rolling back and going back to segregation, so what Now? You had black folks jumping up and down two weeks ago. Oh, they're trying to go back to segregation. You had Roland Martin and all of them. He was losing his mind. Beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep, beep. You understand, trying to fearmonger and get folks excited because they don't have an answer for why this man is back in the White House. So they reaching at everything. So when he did this executive order, when he rescinded it, that's what he did. He rescinded the order and people are losing their minds and they trying to fear, monger and get us excited about. Well, we all, we all going to let him just do that. Yeah, why are you not here marching in this and that? You know, reverend Allen, yeah, we got to get down there and march. We got to go marching.
Speaker 3:Real Slim Shady.
Speaker 2:That nigga, there, that nigga there boy, that nigga there, lord, I wish he would. Just the great sky would open and he'd just go away Right. The faster the better. Man, that dude there, man, him between him, and that Maxine Waters, and that Jim Clyburn and that bunch.
Speaker 3:But you know something I look at them as being necessary evils to a degree, because you know, whenever you're in a situation like this, you have to figure out a way to come out, make the best of it, in other words, you know. So what I use Sharpton for is, in conversations when I have with certain people, you bring up their name and you see how they feel about it. That gives you an idea of where that person's head is at. You know you're missing out on something. Oh yeah, sharpton, that's my man. He's fighting for this, fighting that. I look at him and I'm like you, damn idiot. You know what I mean.
Speaker 2:Damn it, billy. You just almost made me choke.
Speaker 3:God, that's the way I look at them, because I mean this dude has did so much uh that's ridiculous you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 3:I mean, he actually tried to get Asada Shakur to come to the slave theater in Brooklyn. Remember the slave theater, right? Yeah, I remember. Yeah, he tried to get Assata Shakur to come to the slave theater to do a lecture, right. Meanwhile he had the feds on speed dial. If she would have came they would have got her, they would have caught her on US soil. And once I heard he did that, I said oh man, how you going to try to do something like that? Sisters shot her. You know this was a living example of resistance against the government. She bounced with the Cubans and got asylum in Cuba and been over there ever since Living love, and she sees also Tupac's godmother, if I'm not mistaken.
Speaker 2:Yeah, she's Tupac's godmother.
Speaker 3:She was Matulu Shakur's sister, I believe. Okay, she was Matulu Shakur's sister and Matulu was Tupac's stepfather, right right, right, yeah, so yeah, but she's the aunt and the godmother. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, yeah, so once you yeah, you, pull a jack leg, move like that. I ain't got no use for them type of dudes, man. And that remind me of something. And just for a little housekeeping here, family that's listening to the program today, don't forget. Don't forget. Go to changeorg and we have a email campaign going on to the commission, the decision makers in the commission for the new york state reparations um to uh committee. We have an email campaign and we emailing them. The emails are already set up. They were set up by this thing. Sister brooke did it and she did an amazing job setting this thing up. So go to changeorg and send the email. All you have to do is press the button. You can draft your own email, but the emails are already drafted.
Speaker 2:They just need you to register your name and everything and sign the petition and then hit the email, send the email. We're trying to it's an email campaign and it's also a petition to, like we said, trying to get the bill aggregated you know from the language that it's currently written in and we're really trying to appeal to the commission to say look, we hoping y'all would do the right thing. We know they're not going to do it because, like I said, they're full of foreigners and they don't want us to have it. Most of those people are Caribbean. They don't want us to have it and that's why they drafted it up the way they did and they're going to present it like that and it's going to die right on the floor.
Speaker 2:So all of this is theater, really pretty much theater. And I spoke to Devon and he knows this. But yeah, but I don't want to get too far. But, yeah, go there. And that reminds me last week ago, last week ago, and I'm going to send this program to him so he can hear it, because I'm going to call you out. I'm going to call you out. Last week ago I was messaging back and forth with the brother I told you from Jersey. He's a Mason Good friend of mine. I've been knowing him for years. I've been knowing him since I was a kid, you know. But I told him about it and I said you know, do me a favor, man, you know, hit the email and send it. And his first reaction was this nigga, this nigga. You know what he said to me. You know what he said. He messaged me back. I'm going to have to get back to you on that.
Speaker 2:I'm going to have to get back to you on that man nigga hit the email and send it what you getting back for you ain't no need to get back to me. Hit the email and send it, man, what are you talking about? They ain't gonna Huh.
Speaker 3:Scared of what. Scared of what.
Speaker 2:Nigga. You retired. He's a retired cop from Jersey. Retired, you damn. I think he close, if he not 70, close to it. Scared of what? Well, you know, people don't like to be targeted. No one wants to be targeted. Target you for what? What are they going to do? Take your time, the feds going to investigate you Because you sent the email.
Speaker 3:Huh, what did Jason Black call them?
Speaker 2:old niggas, that's what he calling. You got to watch them. Old niggas. I couldn't believe it, man, you do that much of a coward. What are you scared of?
Speaker 3:Well, the thing they're afraid because first of all, they came up with beliefs. Now, today's degree is knowledge. That's right. Knowledge, we know, is the foundation of everything, from the cradle to the grave. You know. This is why, you know, our scriptures tell us to seek knowledge from the cradle to the grave, to the grave Opposed to belief.
Speaker 3:You know, belief is secondary to knowledge. You know, in terms of developing your wisdom, because the wisdom is born out of the experiences that are gained through the application of knowledge. You know, in terms of developing your wisdom, because the wisdom is born out of the experiences that are gained through the application of knowledge. You know, and you know a child that is told to stay away from the fire because it's hot, you know, may or may not believe it. You know that belief may born curiosity to seek the knowledge of if the fire is hot, if the experience is that, if he experiences that fire, he will know that it's hot and he don't have to believe it anymore. That's right, it's crazy man. You know belief is not really reality, because reality is what, that's what you are, what you do, what you think.
Speaker 3:Belief is a means to escape from monotonous and a cruel existence. Belief divides people into what? Hindu, buddhist, muslim, christian, socialist, capitalist, and on and on. Knowledge brings like-minded people together because at the basis of that knowledge and at the experience of that knowledge, you gain wisdom from it and from that wisdom you gave understanding. And that understanding, when you apply, it, becomes your culture.
Speaker 3:Your culture is one of freedom, and that freedom brings you power or refinement. So the culture and the freedom brings you your power and refinement. Refinement only means to clean yourself up mentally as well as physically. But you can't clean yourself up mentally or physically if you don't have the knowledge, if all you're doing is believing. Believing is a doubt, if it's something that's as you know. I try to tell it to my brothers that are really into that religion that if something that's as important as your very salvation, don't you think that needs to be studied until it becomes knowledge? Instead of just believing something, shouldn't you study it until it becomes knowledge, until it becomes exact science, like the comedian George Carlin I heard him say one time. He said they have convinced us that there's an invisible man in the sky who sees everything, knows everything, and you know what he needs money.
Speaker 2:He needs your money.
Speaker 3:He needs your money, right, he needs your money, he needs your money. And now, if that is not enough to wake somebody up, I don't know what is, I don't know what is, you know?
Speaker 2:What it is, malik, and to be honest, and now there's some people that are not informed or not aware because they haven't been See, this is why we've been fortunate, brother, you and I have been fortunate to go through different phases of life, seeking knowledge of self and going through the lessons and going through the rigors of the dean, and we've been blessed in that way, even up until now, to sit back and say you know what? That wasn't it, it ain't hit home like that. And then now I want to say the twilight of our lives we've come to an understanding that what was originally planted in us is what we needed to build on. Now. Those experiences that we went through were necessary, but now we're at a point where we're're going back to the foundation it's just like when you were in school, right?
Speaker 3:you go through preschool, kindergarten, first grade, second grade, whatever. As you advance the higher grades, the work becomes more difficult, becomes more challenging and because of the knowledge that you got at a younger age, you build on that and you add on it, and that sets up a strong enough foundation mentally for you to withstand the weight of powerful knowledge. If you've been taught the same thing when you're five years old that you taught when you're 10 years old, that's no advancement. And then when you're 15 and then you're 20, you start the same thing. And then, when you get grown, they teach it to you again. But now they tell you that you got to keep it a secret because the rest of the world don't know. The rest of the world don't know what know. I said well, I don't know what. There's nothing that you learn in those so-called lodges that people don't know.
Speaker 3:A lot of it is just mythology.
Speaker 2:That's what I be trying to tell this dude, right Like dog, don't you know? They gave y'all 30, 33 degrees, right, 33 and one-third degree, or something like that they gave them 30. Man, I don't realize. Muhammad gave us 120 degrees off the rip.
Speaker 3:Exactly.
Speaker 2:What are you talking about, man? Hold on Just a second, I'm going to let you go Hold that thought. Then he sends me these video clips and stuff. Video clips. Man, I don't need no video clips. That stuff you sent me I done seen 10 times already before you sent it. I need you to elaborate on what you know. I don't need to see no video clips. Who you trying to convince Me? Or yourself, right?
Speaker 3:I've been. I don't need to see no video clips. Who you trying to convince me? Or yourself, right?
Speaker 2:I've been knowing. I've been knowing this information since I was about 12, 13 years old. That's what you talking about, man. It's old to me, really, but I I humor you With it a little bit and you know, let you engage like you're telling me something, but you're never able to elaborate or break anything down. And that's where the candy is in the breakdown, and that's what we was trained. You and I were trained to do that from very young.
Speaker 3:That's right To teach he who is a savage civilization, righteousness, the knowledge of the self and the science of everything in life. No peace in that.
Speaker 2:This is why that's our duty, that's our duty as a civilized person. That's why that's why, at your age, what you still scared of man, don't you know some of the most boldest, baddest cats. Be the most boldest cats. Old men, don't take no stuff from nobody because you don't see life already. You know you ain't fair or nothing.
Speaker 3:The older you get, the more fearless you get yeah, but the other thing too is you have to that indoctrination has to be broken. You know, and indoctrination that comes from it can either come through the miseducation of the school system right, it also comes through the misunderstanding of different cultural aspects like religion and the value of sports and play and recreation, and all of that. You know that indoctrination, because you get indoctrinated when you go through the system, through the school system, you get through the social system, through the social system. You can get indoctrinated At some point. That indoctrination has to be broken, and I think with us it got broken at a young age with the introduction of 120 degrees, because 120 degrees it covers every aspect of society on a knowledge level right Now. Once you get that and you start to apply it to the way that you live and the things that you do every day, you know, then that adds another 120 and you get 240.
Speaker 3:And once you reach the understanding of that, then you have 360, which is a cipher, which is a circle, a complete circle consisting of 363, which doesn't mean that you don't have to learn anymore, it means that you just have to go on to the next cycle and you have to get knowledge of that wisdom, of that understanding of that, learn how to live, whiz for that Understanding of that, learning how to live Culture, refine yourself, clean yourself up mentally as well as physically, and reach the higher level of understanding. You know, and I mean, like you say, this is something that we've been blessed with, and for many, many years. It was frustrating because you said, well, damn, when is everybody else going to catch up? You know. So you started like swaying a little bit because you didn't have, unless you had, contemporaries that thought the same as you, you might get pulled into some negative situation. You get out of it, but you can still get pulled into it because you don't have like-minded people around you. You know, and that's one of the problems we have.
Speaker 3:But now I'm saying some beautiful things to so many people and it's something that it ain't something that just started. You know, I started noticing this back in like 2003, 2002, I said wait a minute, man, you got a lot of people out here that are awake. You know that, know what's going on. You know you got different type of conscience. You got some people that are politically conscious and people that are spiritually conscious, people that are economically, financially conscious. You know, they know how to get that bag, you know, and it takes all of these different aspects to come together.
Speaker 3:That's what unity means, when you can bring all these different aspects. Unity in the community means building the things that are necessary for communities to survive and to thrive. You need grocery stores, you need supermarkets, you need hospitals, you need banks. These are the things that are necessary for a community to grow, and that's the type of unity that's needed. The only way you're going to get that unity is going to have to be a code and understanding your lineage. That, right, there should be a code. If you understand your lineage and you love yourself, then you love your neighbor.
Speaker 3:You know, if your neighbor is not worthy of it, then you delineate. You know we delineate nonsense.
Speaker 2:That's right. That's right, that's right. Now I want to talk to two points you did real quick and then we're going to move because we're getting close to that time. Two things that you said. One I want to address is let me tell you something I know now that I've been born to do this. You know why my mother has told me as far back as I can remember. She said, boy, I knew you was going to be a problem because you was rebellious from the crib. She said I knew you was going to be a problem. You understand that to the point. I was born in this world knowing something was wrong from the crib.
Speaker 3:It wasn't nothing wrong, it was something right.
Speaker 2:Well, in the essence of it, yes, but the way things were going, I knew something was wrong and I remember telling my father. I remember telling my father one time and Dr King was on the TV screen and I don't know something was going on. And I said to my father, I said man, I said I hate white people and man, I almost got a butt cutting for that and he and I couldn't understand it because I didn't know Dr King. But I knew something in my spirit was telling me that he was the man, he was good. Something about him was telling me that. And I'd seen how we were being treated from the TV screen, black and white little TV screen, and I remember the visions of the hoses and all that stuff. So I knew something was wrong. And my mother said, she said I'm boy. She said I know you was gonna be a rebellious one. She said you've been rebelling ever since the crib, before you could walk, you was rebelling. There you go. So, yeah, the, the um, the other thing that I got on, I forgot what it was you were saying you would say you was dropping so much. Sometime I gotta stop you because I'll be trying to gather it, you, you'll be. That's why I love when you come up here, man, I love it and and and the family love it also. They love when you come up here. But yeah, we're gonna move into.
Speaker 2:You've been paying attention to in in the rap world, the hip-hop world, with our people. These brothers been getting charges. They just charged this little yellow, yellow dude with the with the uh murder for hire for for mo three and and and all of that. And then los angeles, cal California has been in this last week or two has been shook to its core with the thing with Big U and the Rolling 60s and them, and I talked about it a little bit last week but I didn't go into too much of it. But see, here's the thing Tariq did, a did. He hosted a live where he was talking about this gangster gossip, gossiping gangsters. I've never seen nothing like this.
Speaker 3:These dudes are indicting themselves yeah, you know, when it comes to that whole uh term gangster, gangbanging, gangs you know I try to look at it from a perspective of what I know a gangster to be. Now, when I was coming up, the only gangsters I knew were a number of gangsters. They were real gangsters. They were organized, they had places of business, they had people that worked for them. When you see the way they dressed, they didn't dress any different than anybody else. They don't go into an office job or a business, open business or whatever you know, and they were generally respectable people. You know, that's my vision with a gangster. Now, with West Coast Rap NWA came out, they were talking about gangsters, gangsters. To me that wasn't gangsters, that was gangbanging. There's a difference between gangster and gangbanging.
Speaker 3:You know, and these guys, when you look back, gangbanging there's a difference between gangster and gangbanging. And these guys, when you look back at rap music, right, we know that the rappers from the 80s were basically just imitating the drug boys from the 70s the way they dressed, all that gaudy jewelry, a lot of jewelry, you know sports suits like Adidas suits, you know stuff like that. It was Playboys and all that other stuff. But mainly this is what the rappers were doing. They were looking up to the drug dealers from the 70s because they were the ones with the money and the cars and women were chasing them. And this is what people look. This is what the rappers would imitate. And then you had the rappers in the 90s that were imitating the rappers from the 80s, who would only imitate the drug boys. So you had imitators imitating other people and in the 2000s you got the rappers imitating the rappers from the 90s that are imitating rappers from the 80s who were imitating the drug.
Speaker 3:It's on and on. Now you got layers and layers of imitators. You got these niggas coming up here excuse my language coming up here on these podcasts talking about drugs that they were things that they were doing back 20, 30 years ago. You got these other cats running around telling my days that when somebody comes to their town they got to check in. You know, and it's amazing that the things that they would say on these podcasts and even when they know that the feds are looking at the internet and making cases. You just see what happened with this guy, young Thug, down in Atlanta. They just made a whole case out of listening to their music.
Speaker 3:And of course, you had other people that started ratting. You know they get threatened with doing more than 24 hours in jail and giving them a McDonald's cheeseburger and they'll tell on everybody. You know there's no loyalty to the game. People are telling on themselves. You know. It's just. I mean, I'm so far removed from that that I just sit back and I'm amazed, you know. I'm amazed because I know. I'm amazed Because I know when I was coming up, you had folks that used to come around and take pictures a lot. They wouldn't even get in the pictures. The real gangsters don't take no pictures. I don't know To this day, I don't. If you're careful, the first thing they're going to think about this dude must be in police or something.
Speaker 2:To this day, I don't like people taking pictures of me because everybody want to go live. They on Instagram, they posting on Facebook. To this day, I don't like it. Now I've learned to deal with it a little better, because I used to get really offended when people would come up. You had a function or gathering or something, a party or something, and people hey, let me get a picture. Stop doing that, please stop asking me to take pictures. And I had to ask my side to talk to myself like yo, you no longer in the streets, no more man. What's the problem?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I mean, there's certain things that never leave you, it just never, never leaves you. Like you could be going, you could be driving out of block and you, you can see, you can see 5-0 and you recognize it. And the person you're in the car with don't even know nothing. You're like oh, how do you know?
Speaker 2:You, you know, and then you gotta think so why am I even worried about it? You know, man, like you said, I'm so far removed. I'm so far removed from it. This is why, like, I don't talk about these things much up here on the podcast and people want to. Oh, you know, you don't never talk about none of the good juicy, the hot tea stuff, because I'm not a gossiping dude. Now we got to talk about these things because it happened out there in LA and Big U and them are big figures in the community. Now, I don't the check-in thing that was with J Prince and all of them was doing that. See, the thing with me with that is why I'm against. That is because anybody that come to LA is supposed to check in. Right, this is what's established. Is that all the way around the board or is that for just the black entertainers and the black athletes? Because do you make some of these white people and Spanish people check in when they come to LA?
Speaker 3:Billy Joel, the piano man got to check in, right?
Speaker 2:Do they check in?
Speaker 3:Larry Bird, is he checking in Right?
Speaker 2:Now, one of the lawyers, this dude, bruce Rivers I forgot if I'm going to look him up. And he did, he did. I got it up here. I got it up here. I might play a little bit of it. Hold on. He said he got this little segment that he calls Stop Self-Snitching. Hold on, hold on. Segment that he calls stop self snitching hold on 60s indictment in la uh.
Speaker 1:Rolling 60s is a gang out in the old gang. It's a club, it's not a gang. Um well, it is a bunch of people who are getting indicted for rico in the uh la area.
Speaker 1:I mean, here's the deal If I was going into LA and their territory, I suppose I probably would check in, just because you wouldn't want the hassle and the repercussion of not checking in. And that's what they're designed to do. It's like he forgot what he was doing was illegal and it's total self-snitching. And every one of these videos, every one of these Instagram posts, every one of these you know you got chicken or it's going to get hot. You know all that shit is going to bite him in the ass. Today we are reacting to the rolling 60s indictment.
Speaker 2:Now that was a lawyer. This is a criminal lawyer, right Big U. I've seen from last week, I've seen about 4 or 5 videos he talking about that check in thing. Now what that is is extortion. Well, well, he's in the feds. San Quentin is a state joint, but I get what you're saying. He's in the feds. San Quentin is a state joint, but I get what you're saying. He's done because they also got murder charges on him, as I'm understanding. I read the indictment. I read the indictment and King, when I tell you, man, they loaded him up, they loaded him up with them charges he should have known from.
Speaker 3:You know, these kids don't care.
Speaker 2:But this dude is out, he's up there with us. He ain't no kid. He's not no young kid. Big U is about close to my age.
Speaker 3:Physically, yes, Physically, he is our age. What about his mental age? You know what I mean? Because when you look at what's going on with these kids right, a lot of these rappers they don't care no more. They would rather blow up ball out for a year and either get killed or go to jail. Then they don't see past three or four months ahead, you know, and it ain't just the ones that's in the street, you know. You got, I think he done calmed down Ball player out of South Carolina, Jay Morant.
Speaker 3:Morant, jay Morant, john Morant, yeah, john Morant, yeah every time you turn around he getting caught with a pistol. And John Moran, yeah, every time you turn around he getting caught with a pistol. And you work for $150, $200 million and you getting caught with a pistol every time. Take a lesson from 50 Cent. When he was going through all that stuff, all that shootout mess, what did he do? That nigga hired NYPD as security and he ain't got to carry a gun. Because now you got 20 people around you carrying guns.
Speaker 3:But these guys, they don't know.
Speaker 3:They think that they got the A lot of what it is.
Speaker 3:They come from an economically deprived community, right, and they've been blessed with a talent or they motivated themselves into a position where they can make a lot of money with sports with their own athletic ability right, and they don't realize that that comes with responsibility.
Speaker 3:You got a responsibility to yourself and to your family first and then to your community, you know. And that responsibility don't mean acting like somebody who's out there fighting over crumbs, because really, if you're out there fighting over crumbs Because really if you're out there and you're in the street you're fighting over crumbs you know, if you make it to the NBA and you got a $150 million contract, you're on a whole other level Now. You're on a level where you can advance yourself, your family and your community, and I'm not saying the whole community. It may only be a grocery store that you open up, it may only be a doctor's office that you open up. You know it ain't got to be for the whole community. But do something. Don't just run around with guns and buy millions of dollars worth of cars, ride around and get arrested.
Speaker 2:Come on well see, yeah, I'm in 100% agreement with you on that. But here's the problem here's a huge part of the problem.
Speaker 2:When you look at who's raising these cats, when you look at who's raising these cats, when you look at who's raising them, you understand a little more. You know not just the streets, but even if the parent is raising them usually it's a mother raising these dudes and you can't know. There's no woman that can tutor a male into a man. It's not going to happen. Now there's mothers that have done good jobs in raising their sons into respectable adults. But to be a man is not a woman that I've ever met that had that ability. And it's soft because your nature is to.
Speaker 2:Now, I don't know about in your household, but in my household my mother was the one that we played on If Pop said no, we figured out a way to circumvent that, to go to Ma and get Ma to agree with the thing or whatever. But see, my pops was not to be played with. When he said what it was, that's what Every once in a blue moon you might got. When he said what it was, that's what Every once in a blue moon you might got, lucky, depending on what it was, and she might would say, well, let that boy do such and such, such and such and don't worry about it or whatever. Every once in a blue moon he might would cop to it and be like all right, get out of my face, man Go, just go. But most.
Speaker 3:You know what they say. They say that the mother loves her son and raises her daughters Right, and that the father loves his daughter and raises her son.
Speaker 2:Now, that was the home I grew up in. That was it my little sister to this day can't. She hates my guts. She hates the mention of my name because of the way my mother treated me.
Speaker 3:She hate the name.
Speaker 2:She hate the mention of my name. My uncle told me one time he said when you come down here, man, you better stay with me, cause she gonna put a car track out on your ass. Man, that child hates me with every fiber of her being. She hates me.
Speaker 3:Seeing you getting away with stuff that she couldn't get Right.
Speaker 2:And the way my mother treated. You know, I couldn't do no wrong for my mother, I couldn't do no wrong for her. You know, and thank goodness, thank the universe, that my father was there, because I probably would have been a mushy little sucker if he wasn't around. Yeah, because my father was not to be played with. He was not to be played with. He had that James Evans thing, he had that down man to the core.
Speaker 3:That's where James Evans got it from.
Speaker 2:Man, look here, that dude man. He look at you, man, and you be like okay, I'm going to deal with this nigga, you know what I mean. And my pops, he didn't. He didn't pop, did not talk, he didn't repeat himself. He's a nigga. If you can Han, you can hear, Cause he spoke very clear and precisely. He did not nigga. If you can Han, you can hear Because he spoke very clear and precisely. He did not play, Not with me, he didn't play, he told he would tell you. Man, nigga, I'll take this chair and break it over your back if you don't get out of my face.
Speaker 2:That wasn't a joke, though, man what Get out of my sight Now? Them girls. He ain't never touched them girls. He never touched them girls, never. That's why I would, I would push, I would push my kid sister, I would push her To do a lot of the Things, because I know she wasn't Going to get nothing.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:I never one time. I never one time, you know, we had got old enough to my mother would go to work and then, you know, it would be a couple hours before my father would come home. So it was getting hot around the time, you know, springtime or whatever All the kids was outside playing but we had to stay in till my pop got home. So I devised a little scheme, because my mother was at work and she would get off a little later. And I devised a little scheme to get out one day. So I went and I cut the. I cut the screens that used to be in the window. I cut the screen that used to be in the window. I cut the screen right and well, I told my little sister to do it. I cut the screen and we're going to call mom at the job and tell her somebody was trying to get in the house. And we did that and she said alright, well, y'all get out of here and go go around the corner. Her best friend was right, well, y'all get out of here and go around the corner. Her best friend was this lady named Tina. Y'all go around to Tina and stay there till your father come. So we did. That's how we got out.
Speaker 2:So when my pop got home she must have called and told him what happened or whatever like that. And while we was outside, before he got home and he went and investigate that thing, right, and he said to me. He said he asked my sister what happened here. She told him man, somebody was trying to get in here. Father looked at that thing, said he looked at me. He said nigga, you put this baby up to this, right, you did this. This is you. I'm saying I don't think baby up to this, right, you did this. This is you.
Speaker 3:I'm saying I'm like what he figured that shit out right away, look, look.
Speaker 2:He realized that the screen was cut from the inside, not from the outside. Man, that nigga went crazy you know, how much it gonna cost me to fix that screen. Nigga you crazy and the jig was up. And the jig was up. But I say all I have to say, you know, thank the universe that he was there, because he's the one that kept the man principle in the home. He kept that man principle in the home and this is what's missing and what's really hurting a lot of our community or whatever Like that.
Speaker 3:And them cats, they ain't got no knowledge. Them cats, I don't know what is it? West them cats, they ain't got no knowledge. Them cats, I don't know what is it? West Coast cats, they ain't got no knowledge. Man, when they just like look at this dude, what he did here it is you had a $300 million record company. You had the best producer in the world, dr Dre. You got Snoop Dogg in the prime of his life, tupac in the prime of his life, you know. You set to make billions and what do you do?
Speaker 2:you bring that gang shit you couldn't get away from the monkey shit, you had to do the monkey shit. You couldn't get away from the monkey shit, you had to do the monkey shit.
