Speaker 1:

You scared people, Huey.

Speaker 2:

The Black. Panthers scared people. Anytime the black man attempts to change the slave image, he will scare white people. So the Black Panther Party, I thank you. When you said that we scared people, that means that we were creating a positive black image for ourselves peace, peace, and welcome back to freedmanman's Affairs Radio, the Freedman's Network.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, we back. Vaughn Black is back and right out the gate. Before we get started, I want to express gratitude for you tapping back in with us again, attitude for you tapping back in with us again. April 8th 2025. And the math for the day is build, destroy To construct or deconstruct. That's what we're working with today. That said, family, how are you? Let me get these levels right, let me just get these levels right, and we're going to get right into some things, not going to stay long at all today. I know I always say that, but today especially, we're going to be quick because I'm working on some things and I got to run out of here, out of the studio, so we're going to stay for a short visit and just talk about a couple of things. And, yeah, that's what it's going to be. I like this little tune. Let me, let me, let me rock this a little bit. Got that bouncy feel to it. Yeah, yeah, man, I surely hope everybody's doing well and in the best of moods. I'm in a good mood, and rightly so, rightly so. What are we going to talk about today? I didn't plan nothing up here, and that's another reason why I'm not going to stay too long, because really didn't map nothing out and off the gate. Let me apologize, because I told you last week that Divine Prince from the United States Freedom Project would be up here today. He's not up here with me today. He will be back up here with me today. He will be back up here with us next week, next week. I didn't look at the schedule before I spoke and I told you he would be up here today, but no, no, no, no, he's not here with us today, but he will be back with us next week. We're going to come, we're going to come up here and I'm going to let brother go. I'm going to let him go. Yeah, family. So that's what it is.

Speaker 3:

Over the this past weekend, they had the big, the big protest around the country. Let me turn this down a little bit, turn the volume down. And the big, the big protest around the country. Let me turn this down a little bit, turn the volume down. And the big protest over the country. We here in the grassroots call it the million mail march, the million mail march, but in actuality, the technical term that they used was the. How do they call it? Oh, hands off, hands off a protest that they did around the country and it got coverage. It got coverage. It didn't. It was, it was some places, it was a lot of people, it was a lot of people in some places. However, it didn't.

Speaker 3:

It didn't get the traction I think they were looking for because it was seasonless, it was no season in it. They didn't really have any principles, uh, any defining arguments that they were making. It was just a big Trump bad Trump bad type of thing, because it was geared at Elon Musk and Donald Trump. Well, president Trump and Elon Musk I should say it that way, in that order, right? So it didn't? It didn't gain. I don't think it.

Speaker 3:

It there was some big in some places there was, there was a lot of people, I think in Boston there was a huge, huge turnout in Boston and it's all good. You know, people should be able to be able to go in and uh say, state how they their concerns on certain issues, but this thing didn't seem. It had no, no specific agenda to it. It was just a trump bad type of thing. You know, re-resisting trump. Let me, if I can find, let me go to um state of daniel he did can find. Let me go to State of Daniel. He did something. Let me let me go to him. And I thought this was interesting, that he did Hold on.

Speaker 4:

Young gentlemen were approached at the National Mall yesterday by a reporter and he asked them why are you here? Why do you think President Trump is a fascist? Well, as if it wasn't embarrassing enough that they couldn't answer his simple question of why are you here? What are you protesting? It turns out that they were actually given a printed out sheet of talking points by whoever actually gave them the sign. That's right. Some unknown entity gave them what was clearly a mass produced sign, along with talking points which the gentleman didn't even bother to read before attending the protest. Take a look.

Speaker 5:

So what makes Trump a fascist? What makes Trump a fascist? He does things without um. Yeah, talk loud. I don't have my mic on. No, I'm not really good at interviews, sorry. No, I'm not really doing it to be something, sorry. He just does everything he wants and you know, not following laws, or you know he's a convicted felon. You know, that's all I know. But your sign says he's a fascist and I'm just curious what makes him a fascist?

Speaker 6:

One of the things is that he's trying to control the media. Right, Say that again he's trying to control the narrative.

Speaker 5:

How is he trying to control the media? Doesn't every president try to control the narrative?

Speaker 6:

They try to control their own narrative, but one of the things that Trump has done, for example, is renaming the Gulf of Mexico and then not allowing the Associated Press to come into the White House. Basically, you know, trying to get.

Speaker 5:

What are your feelings about him renaming the Gulf of Mexico as the Gulf of America, when a majority of the Gulf is, in fact, on the coast of America as opposed to Mexico?

Speaker 6:

I mean, it's kind of pointless. People call it the Gulf of Mexico, don't you think?

Speaker 5:

it could have a positive tourism impact potentially. Tourism has been down heavily. So I don't want to get into a tourism debate. My question is the sign says the fascist Trump regime must go, and so I'm just curious what makes him a fascist? You pointed out that maybe something about his relationship with the media. He wants to control it, but again you're calling him a fascist. What makes him a fascist One.

Speaker 6:

How? Again, let's your specific. You're calling him a fascist. Yeah well, what makes him a fascist? One of the core tenants of fascism is creating an enemy right and blaming those columns on what's that?

Speaker 5:

Paper gave me. Yeah, who gave you that? Gave me the sign. It's a free sign. Oh, they, someone gave you the sign and then they gave you the handout. So are you reading it now to see? Try to answer the question. I see that. Can you hold that up? Yeah, but I mean, can I see that?

Speaker 2:

Can you hold that?

Speaker 5:

up. I'm just not, no, I'm just curious, you can have it, I can have it. Yeah, you can have it Alrighty. So where did you get the sign?

Speaker 7:

All the way in the gatekeeper's house.

Speaker 5:

Okay yeah, it was just pretty cool. And that's another one, one they gave you two pieces of paper.

Speaker 8:

Can I have that one too, yes, you can have both.

Speaker 5:

Oh okay. So what brings you guys out here today? Uh, just because I saw people were hanging out with people. Yeah, same thing as everyone else.

Speaker 4:

Executive I can't imagine going to a protest and not knowing exactly what I'm protesting and not knowing, like, just the most basic talking points. If you're going to call someone a fascist, at least number one know what the word means and number two know exactly why you're calling someone a fascist, because that is a serious accusation. Well, they had a whole bunch of arguments anyways. Number one the very first issue they brought up was the convicted felon talking point, which proves that that's exactly why the Democrat Party engaged in lawfare in the first place, because they know the power of perception and imagery in today's political discourse. They knew that the convicted felon talking point would stick and do more damage than anything else that Trump could do.

Speaker 4:

Next, they talk about President Trump supposedly banning the Associated Press, which is not true. Yes, the Associated Press is restricted from the Oval Office and from Air Force One. That definitely is retaliation and you can have your opinions on that. But it's not as if they're banned from the White House or banned from covering President Trump completely. They're just banned from that up close access in again those two places the Oval Office and Air Force One. It's not as if that seat was removed. It was just filled by another media outlet. You could go down their entire laundry list of arguments and easily debunk them. Each one is so tired, so overused, so fragile that the entire pinata of arguments could be broken.

Speaker 3:

Okay, family, yeah, so you get the idea they had to rally nationwide. Well, protest, I shouldn't say rally. They had protests nationwide and a lot of these people don't even know what they were out there for. They really they had no idea. That's why I let the clip play to let you hear how unsensical a lot of this stuff is. These people are angry. They don't have an answer for why this man's back in the White House Now before let me address this I'm not a Trump supporter. I didn't vote for the man. I don't care for either party, as I come up here often and express that I am a policy voter. I'm conservative, leaning in my thought and in my values.

Speaker 3:

I'm conservative leaning. However, I am not tied to any party. I am a thinker, free thinker in and of myself, and also I am more policy driven than anything. Now, if the democrat candidate hadn't had a policy that I favor or policies, plural, that I favor, I, I would vote and and lobby for and advocate for a Democrat. So it doesn't matter, I don't care about either party, independent, whatever. I'm registered as an independent voter. So I just wanted to clear that, which I often do up here. But sometimes you got to reiterate these things, because people will take something, a clip of what you said, and say he said this, he said that, you know, he's, he's, he supports this, he supports that. And no, I don't support any particular candidate or any party. It's about policy for me, that's just for me. So that said that.

Speaker 3:

Right, they had these, these protests around the country and it was seasonless. When I say seasonless, there was no flavor in it because we weren't a part of it. I'm talking about the foundationals, the, the, the freedmen, black America. We weren't really a part of it and there's a couple of videos where there are some black token people or I should have said I used the word token, let me say they may, more than likely, were tethers and or or democratic shill leaning people, democratic people if they were black and they were out there invisible, but for the most part, black people did not participate. As I was looking on the Facebook, black people were studying, doing the line dance all around the country. You know, let me see if I can find some of the line dance.

Speaker 3:

Hold on, hold on, oh man, you know, speaking to that, speaking to that, I think, to give my opinion to the line dance, they got this new thing with the boots on the ground thing. These people, you know, it's multi-generational and it just goes to show the creativity of our lineage. The rest, everybody's bugging out over this and that or DEI. They're bugging out over gas and food and there's something to discuss in those areas, but we don't let these things bother us. This is why we didn't really participate in all of these uh protests, because we like welcome to the club. This is something we used to dealing with high prices. Struggle, the struggle, the struggle. This is something that we use. Welcome to the club, come in, so we don't get excited. You know, like I said, folks is doing out here doing the line dance. Hold on, let me see.

Speaker 11:

Can I find any of that? It's cute, right? Well, that was the after. This is the before me learning the steps. With any line dance, you've got to have the steps right. This is me just looking crazy trying to do the counts, but I'm figuring it out. I'm picking it up a little bit more. The tempo the ladies there are awesome. They had it down pat. And this is me when I was feeling myself until I got to a part where I kind of missed the turn. You'll see it there. It is up this way after parking lot. I am ready, ladies. Thank you so much. I'm taking this with me to the next cookout, the next cruise deck party, all of it. Man, that thing, that thing popping all over the country.

Speaker 3:

Family is popping all over the country. Family is popping all over the country, that boots on the ground thing, and I love it. It's a beautiful thing. It's cross multi-generational, from the little kids to the old senior citizen folks to, you know, mom and grandma and grandpa they're doing it. It's a beautiful thing and it just speaks to the creativity of our culture and our lineage. So you know, you remember we was battling back here with the thing with the creation of hip hop and all that. Don't let nobody come and tell you about us Nothing about us. This is why I do the research up here every week us, nothing about us. This is why I do the research up here every week and I talk about things that we've created in our lineage, in our culture, and this is why this is why this is a beautiful thing we're doing and it's not a. It brings people together. It brings the culture together. Like I said, it's cross multi-generational. You got little babies out there doing that thing, man. It's cross multi-generational. You got little babies out there doing that thing, man. It's beautiful. I love to see it and I love to see our people having a good time and enjoying each other, even though we in the middle of a struggle Things.

Speaker 3:

You know, the market, what was it? Last Friday, the market took a serious dip and people were just it was all over the place and everybody's scared and worried and we out here, boots on the ground. Now you know me by now. You should know it's a time and a place for everything I'm about. I love folks having a good time, but when it's time to take care of business, we take care of business and we stand on it. That hasn't changed.

Speaker 3:

However, we're not going to let these minuscule things well, they're not saying that they're minuscule because these are big events. The stock market takes a huge dip last week and things are going on around the country protests and different things. So we do take these things serious. We do take them serious, but we don't let that define who we are. It's not going to control us. You're not going to control us. We've done that enough. We've done that enough and I'm going to change gears for a quick second and come back to it. There was an incident, I believe, in Texas. Let me see, can I find a story about this these teenagers in the state of Texas, carmela Anthony, was charged.

Speaker 4:

Where a father says he forgives the teen accused of fatally stabbing his son at a high school track meet. Police are now revealing what led to the terrifying moment. Here's ABC's Andrea Fujii.

Speaker 12:

New details about the killing of Austin Metcalf, the student stabbed at a high school track meet near Dallas. According to the arrest affidavit, 17-year-old Carmelo Anthony has confessed to the killing, saying he was trying to protect himself.

Speaker 11:

He knew how much I loved him, how much I'd do for him anything. I'd do anything for him.

Speaker 12:

Hunter Metcalf says he held his twin brother, Austin, as he was dying.

Speaker 13:

I tried to whip around as fast as I could, but I didn't see the stab. But then I look at my brother and I'm not going to talk about the rest.

Speaker 12:

It happened at the district championship meet in Frisco. Hunter says his brother had asked Carmelo to move his seat because he was sitting under the wrong tent. A witness says Carmelo replied touch me and see what happens. And when Austin grabbed him, carmelo allegedly pulled a knife.

Speaker 2:

They asked him to move and when Austin grabbed his backpack to take it, he stabbed him in the chest and killed him.

Speaker 12:

He's now charged with first-degree murder.

Speaker 3:

Just because the kid was mad. My son is not here anymore and I don't understand it.

Speaker 12:

Austin is being remembered as an honors student with aspirations to play college football. Despite the shocking loss, Austin's father says he chooses forgiveness over anger.

Speaker 2:

I forgive the other person because the forgiveness is not for him. The forgiveness is for me, so I can have peace. His life is destroyed. My life is destroyed.

Speaker 12:

The arrest affidavit says, as Carmelo Anthony was being arrested, he asked if Austin was okay. Anthony is being held on a million dollar bond.

Speaker 3:

Okay, you heard that family.

Speaker 3:

Now, here's the thing. Here's the thing. This is what we got to watch out for. This is what we got to watch out for. Now, camilla Anthony is the black teenager that was charged, arrested and charged with murder. One right, the Austin Metcalf kid. He's a white kid, he's a twin, he has a twin, and the twin was there when this happened. Now, at this event, at this event, they were at some kind of competition in some stadium or whatever, and the young brother, carmella Anthony, was sitting in a seat and this white kid, austin Metcalf and it's unfortunate that this happened. This is unfortunate. We're not saying this was good that it happened. It's unfortunate. Anytime that a parent has to bury a child. It is always a tragedy, no matter what color, where you come from or whatever. Okay, that said, now they had this competition and the kid, anthony, camilla Anthony, was sitting in his seat and this other kid, metcalf, approached him about him, about moving, said you're sitting in the wrong place. Now, mind you, there's stories coming out and I didn't play it up here, but I read. With stories coming out, these seats were not assigned. This is the one. I'm white and I say so. Now, they won't report this. That was an ABC News clip that I played that was reporting on this and you know they fluffing it up like this kid.

Speaker 3:

Now, from what I understand, this kid allegedly the Metcalf kid that was stabbed he has involvement with drugs. Right, they're not reporting on this? Now let's go back to George Floyd and the Derek Chavin. The officers of Derek Chavin, let's go back to that. They dug up everything they could on George Floyd. He was on drugs. He was on fentanyl, the mechanics on he died of he was on drugs. He was on fentanyl, nemecanis on he died of fentanyl. He died of fentanyl. He was passing counterfeit money and he was high on fentanyl. You remember that, right? Okay, now this kid and the toxic. From what I understand now the toxicology report has come back there was some type of substance in his system. Right, they're not talking about that. Here it is.

Speaker 3:

They went and charged, they arrested him and charged him with murder one right, murder in the first degree. This is manslaughter, at best it's manslaughter. How is he charged with murder one, first of all, self-defense. Because let's go back to another case. Let's go back Back here some months ago, jordan Neely, right here in New York City where I reside, jordan Neely, right here in New York City where I reside, jordan Neely right was Daniel Penny was killed by Daniel Penny.

Speaker 3:

Now this coward ran up behind Now Jordan Neely hadn't touched anyone, he hadn't harmed anyone. He hadn't harmed anyone, he hadn't done it. He was on the train having an episode, yelling and screaming because he's a special need. He was special needs and he was having an episode. He probably didn't take his medication. He was homeless. This, that and the third. This coward ran up behind him. This dude was trained in martial arts in the Marines right. Dude was trained in martial arts in the Marines right Crept up behind this young, homeless, thin man and put him in a yoke hold and choked him to death.

Speaker 3:

But they said that was self-defense because Jordan Neely broke the public peace agreement contract. He was making noise, he was screaming and talking to himself, like a lot of people do on the subways in New York City. Not just on the subways. You walk down the street people talking to themselves. Sometimes they're talking in the airpiece or whatever. They're talking on the phone. Sometimes they're just talking and have a conversation with themselves because they are disturbed in some type of way or another. Anyway, daniel Penny was tried under self-defense. They said he was justified in killing this man. This coward ran up behind him, crept up. This did Jordan nearly never knew what killed him or why he was being killed. He never knew but it was self-defense now did.

Speaker 3:

From how I understand this thing, this kid, metcalf, approached Carmelo Anthony, the young teenager Carmelo Anthony. He, the young teenager, carmelo Anthony. He approached him, told him hey, listen, you got to move, man, you're in the wrong seat, you're in the wrong seat. The guy was like listen, man, go about your business, leave me alone, don't tell me where to sit, whatever. They exchanged words and he went to grab the kid's bag and the kid told him look, don't touch me, don't touch my stuff, don't touch me. And he proceeded to do what he was doing. He's persistent on moving him from that seat. And that kid Anthony allegedly went in his bag and pulled out the knife and joked him Right and got up out of there. He left and subsequently this young teenager Metcalf died from the injury.

Speaker 3:

Now they charging him with murder in the first degree. Now, remember Daniel Penny when he killed jordan neely, I think that week they, right away they, they. There was a fundraiser for him. He got a two million dollar war chest that for that very same week from donors for his legal defense and the good thing about our brother here is not as much as that. But they did a goundMe for him for his legal defensive fees, because I think he's being held without bond and they've raised some reports are saying $60,000. Some are saying $80,000. I'm going to donate to his defense or whatever, and I urge you to do so, to go online and donate. Be careful, go online and donate. Be careful, make sure you do the research and that these GoFundMes or these fundraisers are legitimate, because when things like these happen, you have the jackals and the wolves that come out and prey on people trying to do the right thing and they'll set up a phony page or whatever and have you donate money to them and they'll take the money in pocket. So be careful with that. But yes, if you can donate to his defense to get him some high-powered lawyers, because he's being charged, as I said, with murder, one and this is at best, it could be manslaughter, at best is really self-defense. And the reason why I say it's self-defense is because y'all have set the standard for what self-defense is.

Speaker 3:

Jordan Neely was killed unknowingly. He didn't even know why he was being killed, didn't even know why Didn't. He didn't touch anybody, didn't harm anyone. But they said that Daniel Penny was justified in the murder because Jordan nearly broke the public contract of peace, because he was making loud noises, talking to himself and shouting. So that means anybody. If I can go out here right now, somebody's having an episode and they're walking up and down the street and they're yelling and screaming, which I've seen people do, I got a right to go up, creep up behind him and choke him out or kill him in some way, form or another, and I'd be justified and I won't get a day in jail for that. Correct, that's what you're telling us.

Speaker 3:

Let's go back to Cal Rittenhouse. Remember him, right, cal Rittenhouse? This dude crossed state lines. First he was on a video watching the protest. This is around the George Floyd protest. He was on video saying how he wish he was out there because he would have his AR-15 and he'd be out there. You know, doing unaliving people. These n words, that's the word he used. But anyway, they didn't allow that in in the uh, in the trial. They, they did not. They did not allow the video. But, however, this dude end up killing two people out there and he crossed states. So he drove across a couple of state lines to where these protests were going on and he ended up unaliving, I think, two people, two white people, protesters. He was threatening to do it, trying to do it to some black folks. That's what he went out there for. But it ended up there were some white folks out there protesting, some white protesters, and he ended up unaligning them. They let him go Self-defense.

Speaker 3:

Now this dude crossed state lines with assault rifles. Right, that's premeditated Murder. One is usually under the aus. That's premeditated Murder One is usually under the auspice of premeditation. That's usually what you get Murder One for. It's premeditated. You plan to do that. You went home, you got a gun. You had a fight. Whenever you ran home, you got your gun. Or you was at the dice game and somebody did something and cheated you. You went to your car and got your gun and came back and shot the guy. That was premeditated. You had time to plan that out and think about it.

Speaker 3:

But with Daniel Penny it was self-defense, right, they've set the precedence for this. So this is the same thing we're seeing with this case with our brother, camilla Anthony. It's self-defense because he forewarned the young man to not don't bother me, leave me alone, don't touch me, don't tell me where to sit, leave my stuff alone, don't touch me. And the man the young man proceeded to carry out his request for him to move and he got end up getting jugged and subsequently, uh, expiring from from his injury. So we're saying it's self-defense. Now, these are the things we got to be outraged for Meanwhile family. Meanwhile, we still don't have a hate crime bill to federally protect us against this type of violence.

Speaker 3:

Now, they're not talking about Metcalf from what I can demise from many different accounts, he had a drug problem. They're not talking about that. But George Floyd he was passing on fake money, he was high on fentanyl and this and that and that and this, even though, despite the man's knee being on his neck for nine minutes on live TV, on national, worldwide TV, and everybody saw it. The only reason why that Chauvin is in jail right now is because people turned up and turned out around the world, not just here in America. Around the world, people saw that. That's the only reason why, other than that they'd let him walk, they'd let him walk.

Speaker 3:

I don't want y'all to ever forget that, okay. So, yeah, yeah, like I said, I don't want to stay up here too long. I don't want to stay up here too long. I just got a couple things I want us to to hear, and I'm just skipping around because I had nothing really planned for today. I really didn't have anything, uh, a program really scheduled out. I just got. No, I had to come up here and talk to see how y'all doing. I had to come up here and see how y'all doing and let you know that I'm still around, still here.

Speaker 3:

And salute to everyone listening all around the globe, all around the states. Salute to all of you Aurora, colorado, greeley, colorado, united Kingdom, the British Indian Ocean Territory. Salute to everyone whose tunes in every week Keep coming back. Like I said, devon will be up here next week, but I want to play a few things just to give us some things to think about here. Hold on, as I opened up with our brother Huey Newton. Hold on, I got some other things up here. I'm going to let you hear.

Speaker 9:

Okay and this is from our sister that she was pardoned by donald trump. Hold on, we've been hearing what the democrats say for so long and it sound good and it feel good, but we watching what they do and they ain't doing shit. We hear what trump say. It sound crazy, but when I watch what trump do and I go back and I look at real facts about how this man went to court every single day with Michael Jackson. How him and Don King was super, super cool. How this man was on the Wu-Tang Clan album. How a Jennifer Hudson family was murdered. He put them up in Trump Tower for six months, protected them, didn't charge them a dime. How he sent his private jet to go get Nelson Mandela out of prison. How he gave Rainbow Push and Jesse Jackson a million dollars to get started to get activated in the black community. How he gave me and Kwame Kilpatrick pardons to restart.

Speaker 9:

I hear what people say and I watch what they do. I hear people saying they mad about Trump, about the Central Park Five, and I get that. But then I know Trump passed the First Step Act which can free close to 20,000 people to this day, including big Meech getting out on some of that sentencing reduction. That ain't got nothing to do with Kamala. That's Trump in the First Step Act. But then I hear what Biden's saying. But I know Biden, responsible for the 94 crime bill and the crack cocaine disparity, the thing that took all the real niggas off the streets this is what Trump's First Step Act was in retrospect that Trump's First Step step at overturn that 94 crime bill.

Speaker 9:

That's why we see all the real ones come home.

Speaker 10:

That's why we stuck with a generation of little nines, she just put chills on my back right now.

Speaker 9:

All of this was strategic Wipe all the real men off the street, push this agenda, because if the real men were in the home we wouldn't see this like this. So you watch your mama be this pillar of strength, you he modeling behavior to go back to psychology, and then we watching agendas on TV.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, family, she right, they letting a lot of real ones home. Some of these brothers been locked away 25, 30 years and they touching the streets because of that first step back. They touching the streets. Lou Hobbs, walter Johnson, he's been home not even a year yet. He's been home a few months, 27 years. They're letting a lot of these guys out because of that first step back, right. So sister was right, sister was correct in that, and we got a few more things we're going to play up here. I want to play for you a few more things. Hold on just a second, we'll get right to it. Hold on, hold on, hold on and we're gonna let you get out of here after that. This is important, family, this is important.

Speaker 8:

Here we go or every black actor gets to a certain point, gets taken out, whether it's michael or crosby or arch Kelly or Prince. They all either die under mysterious circumstances or they become troubled and die of an overdose or some medication, or they get done for some sex crimes or whatever. I mean in R Kelly's case, every single one of those children were basically sold to him allegedly sold to him by their parents. You know, and this is you know, we'll talk. Yeah, maybe that's a conversation for another day, but you know like there's so much of that in the entertainment industry, but there are no prosecutions of white artists. There are no prosecutions of country artists. Nobody. Madonna's never got in trouble for her 16-year-old boyfriend. Yeah, why haven't we got Eminem yet? No, where's Eminem? Could it have anything to do with this?

Speaker 6:

It's the country stars we're thinking of.

Speaker 8:

Yeah, country star, okay, yeah, I'll tell you after the show. No, I mean Eminem woke up one day, an angry lesbian and with very left-wing politics. I wonder why that might have been who knows, who can say, but it's only ever. Black artists who get their reputations absolutely ripped to shreds in public get accused of the worst thing that a person could be accused of right, and always when they get a little bit too big for their boots, a little bit too outspoken, a little bit too edgy or a little bit too quote unquote uncontrollable, too edgy or a little bit too quote unquote uncontrollable when they won't take their meds, when they won't do as they're told, when they won't shut up about Israel, when they won't shut up about contracts, when they won't do as the establishment and as the architecture, the machinery the industry wants them to do. Suddenly they're guilty of underage sex with kids, people, traffic, all the rest of it. Well, I mean, maybe the truth is that the whole industry does it, maybe the truth is that nobody does it. Probably closer to the first one.

Speaker 8:

But these selective prosecutions. I'm not a big, you know. I'm not a big like civil rights. Let's defend black people. Let's take a big guy. You know, I don't even really care for the music that much. I like yay as in, as a singular instance, because he's an artist in a slightly different league, in a different caliber, um, than the rest of them. I don't really listen to the music from from, you know, from the rest of that, that genre, to be honest with you, um, uh. But even I cannot deny that the prosecutions are targeted, selective and gruesomely unfair in the way that they are played out in public, uh, and and the manner in which the juries are tainted and poisoned beforehand. But you know, this guy's like on trial and Netflix decides that. I mean, come on, they murdered Michael Jackson 100% and someone gave Prince fentanyl.

Speaker 8:

They murdered Michael Jackson after he started talking about Jews and I'm not going to say that what he said about them was right or wrong or whatever, but it is a fact of history that first of all, they released the recordings of a phone call where he was complaining about Jews in some not very pleasant language and I think he had a similar problem with Jewish people, sort of universalized to Jewish people in general, which some people will certainly think is unreasonable and unfair. But I think he had a similar problem with Jews that maybe Ye has with Jews, that maybe the other black artist has with Jews, which is that if you've been in the business for 30 years, there are a lot of people called Goldstein and Raffensperg. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, michael Jackson's face. Yeah, yeah, we can't use those lyrics. No, we can't use those lyrics. But you know, for 30 years there have been certain surnames on the contracts that you find out two years later, later, actually, oh, you can't do that, you can't do that and we own this right.

Speaker 8:

After 30 years of it, you start to think, well, maybe it's all of them. You know, it's not an unreasonable. Let's put it like this it's not an unreasonable, it's not, it's a, it's a, it's a relatable bigotry. Let's say, let's say that you know anyway. Look, the point is that Michael Jackson was taken out right after he started making these statements. Right after he started talking about this particular kind of person, suddenly he was unreachable, and so, first of all, they leaked a voicemail to scare him into shutting up, and then, when he didn't, suddenly he was dead.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, family, you heard that Selective charges. They're selective on what they want to charge you with. Back to the young kid, carmelo Anthony. Right, they charged him with murder one, murder one. This is a manslaughter case, really Self-defense. But he's charged with murder one because we say so. How dare you? You know, how dare you? Yeah, that's where we at with this family, that's where we at, we're going to stay with these things and these stories. Hold on, check out our young sister here. Check out our young sister. This is for all of these goofies out here doing these protesting and these what they call these things, these boycotts and all of this foolishness. Hold on, listen to this all of this foolishness.

Speaker 13:

Hold on, listen to this People, black Americans, if y'all care so much about diversity and inclusion, let me know when y'all ready to boycott the corner stores and the beauty supply stores and the curry outs? Let me know, because those affect us more directly than what y'all talking about. Okay, we didn't benefit from dei. That don't have to do with us, okay? So let me know when y'all really ready to boycott the shit that matters, the shit that's taking over our communities, have been taking over our communities the liquor stores you know, I'm saying the the shit that's ran right down the street by somebody who don't even look like you, by people who wash over your shoulder when you go in street, by somebody who don't even look like you, by people who wash over your shoulder when you go in there, by people who accuse you of stealing sometimes. Let me know when y'all ready to boycott shit that matter, not target.

Speaker 13:

Target that then gave opportunities to black creators. There are black creators who have their products in target. Why the fuck are we trying to boycott target? What are y'all doing? You know what I'm saying. We need to start with the s*** in our own communities that affect us. How about we boycott some of these churches that take people money and don't do s*** for the community. Let me know when y'all are really ready to boycott the s*** that matters. Other than that, I got s*** to give from Target. You know what I'm saying.

Speaker 3:

I'm about to go shop right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I concur 1,000% with that, 1,000%, I concur with that. Let us start boycotting what it really means right here in the community I live in, predominantly black. Granted, it's a predominantly Caribbean community, but it's nonetheless, nonetheless and this is good. I'm talking about for every hood, for every, anywhere where black people at, whether they're foundational or from the diaspora or whatever, but especially the foundation is who I'm talking to, because that's what this program is centered around. This program is centered around.

Speaker 3:

I was having a conversation with somebody and out and out and I can't understand for the life of me, on a Friday or Saturday night, why is these Chinese restaurants packed with people, these little filthy Chinese, uh, eateries, takeout eateries, filthy, and I know they're filthy and I'm telling you they're filthy because when I worked in the beverage industry, I used to deliver to these places and you get access to the basement and to the back rooms. You get access. They're filthy, nasty places, but they're packed on Friday, saturday night because people want them fried chicken wings and french fries and egg foo. Young I I was having a conversation with with my lady one time and and she made a good point. But also I was saying how, how, in the hell, all of these eateries in the black communities? You got, you got, you got the Asians. You got the Arabs at the Popeyes they running most of the Popeyes. You got, you got, you got the asians. You got the arabs at the popeyes they running most of the popeyes. You got the the east indians and stuff right in these crown chickens and texas chicken, little chicken spots.

Speaker 3:

Who fries chicken and fish and shrimp and seafood and stuff better than black folks, better than we do? Found that. Who does that better than us? That's where these other cultures get the idea from. They like the fried stuff. Let's go make it and put it in there, and the ingredients and the oils they cook and the stuff and it's straight garbage, straight garbage. It's killing us. But who fry these chicken, fish and shrimp and french fries and stuff better than we do? Who does that better than us?

Speaker 3:

But yet you go to these places on a Friday, saturday night and you can't even get inside those places because they're packed with black people. You got people getting chicken wings out of the Chinese restaurant and they're cooking the food in soybean oil, filthy stuff. They're cooking it in the same grease over and over and over, and they're packed. Come on y'all, we got to get out of this and we got to get better. We got to get better. Yeah, do I want to go into that? I want to go into it. Yeah, let me play. Let's hear it for my brother.

Speaker 1:

Let's hear it for my brother.

Speaker 1:

Great one. There will come a time when black people wake up and become intellectually independent enough to think for themselves, as other humans are intellectually independent enough to think for themselves. Then the black man will think like a black man and he will feel for other black people, and this new thinking and feeling will cause black people to stick together. And then at that point you'll have a situation where when you attack one black man, you are attacking all black men, and this type of black thinking will cause all black people to stick together. And this type of thinking also will bring an end to the brutality inflicted upon black people by white people, and it is the only thing that will bring an end to it. No federal court, state court or city court will bring an end to it.

Speaker 3:

It's something that the black man has to bring an end to himself family, family that said we're gonna wrap it up and we're gonna get out of here. We're gonna let you go. We're gonna let you go. In the words of big king, you must respect life, love justice, cherish the freedom and, most of all, family, treasure the peace. Y'all go in peace and keep the peace and come back.

Project to see how poverty's affecting us. Robberies we lust objects of high quality, so we think we slowly sink into the quicksand With no support, like a bike that doesn't have a kickstand. We stay in court, smoke new ports and fail to support our seeds, with no thoughts for they needs. We fought for the cheese and all it got us was a grave or a bid as a slave. We live in the land of the brave. Where the home isn't free, grown niggas be. In the land of the brave. Where the home isn't free, grown niggas be in the zone trying to act out the TV.
