We Need to Protect What's Ours Before It Disappears✊🏿 🇺🇸
I'm tired of African Americans, bro. We just we just gave out a name because we called on. Nobody made us aware, no one made us aware that you guys were reaping the benefits of our names and we weren't. So we don't want to be labeled as African Americans, bro. People continue to get on here and say we don't want to acknowledge that we come from Africa, bro. That's wrong Actually. No, we don't want to acknowledge that because we don't come from Africa. We haven't been over there for almost 500 years, bro Probably longer than that, and some of us have never been there.
Speaker 1:Do you understand how the slave trade work? And why would anyone want to be associated with people who sold off their children? You sold off your children and then you want people to acknowledge that they come from you. No one cares a lot of. You look deformed as well, uneven shaped noggins over over protruding stomachs. I don't want you here personally. I don't wanna get to know you. Yes, I wanna divide from you. I don't wanna get to know you ever. I only wanna deal with Americans, not African Americans, not only Americans, only Americans.
Speaker 1:People who are gonna say they are American and they don't represent other countries because it makes them spiyish. What don't y'all get? You guys sell your people. Of course you're going to come over here and sell us out. We don't need to make room for you. And if everybody keep getting on the Internet, talk about some. Oh yeah, we're trying to divide. Yes, we're trying to divide from these people. They not our people. If they so much, y'all people go to their country. Get the fuck out of america. We got shit going on over here and y'all worried about other countries, other black people. That's a skin color. Racism is made up. We don't care about that. We care about the nation that we represent. That's america. I don't care if you you my skin color, what do I care when you wouldn't even care if I was your son or your child? You would sell me into slavery. So no, we don't want to. I don't want to be represented by no african. I despise you and you are distasteful, more so than a European.
Speaker 2:Whoa Peace, peace and welcome back, welcome back, freedman's affairs radio, the Freedman's network. Powerful opening there, right, y'all wasn't expecting that. Anyway, I want to just out the gate. Thank you for tapping back in with us again this glorious sunrise, july 15th 2025.
Speaker 2:Of course, we're dealing with knowledge power and that borns equality, right us. We're dealing with knowledge, power and that borns equality, right. Oftentimes you hear some of the gods saying knowledge is power, right. And then when we actually go into it Hold on, wait a minute, what is it? We actually go into the 1 to 40, right In the 15th degree. It raised the question. It raised the question who is the 10%? And the answer was the rich, the slave maker of the poor, who teach the poor lies to believe that the almighty, true and living god is a spook and cannot be seen by the next physical eye, otherwise known as the blood suckers of the poor, right, that's what it's, that's what it teaches us, you know, and reason why I opened up with that, with that opening. But the brother, you know, the brother with the rent. Now, he had some very valid points, very valid points.
Speaker 2:I can't say that I agree a hundred percent. I'm about 90, between 90 and 90, 90 and 95 percent in agreeance with his statement. But yeah, so everybody's been talking about that. What's that? The Essence Fest. The Essence Fest and you know they this year had it a couple of weeks ago and this year it was very weak. It was very weak and watered down. They're trying to, from all accounts that I'm getting because I've never been to one. I'm not going to sit up here and cap and make it like I've ever been to an Essence Fest because I never have. But, from all accounts, that people that attended, people that I've talked to, that have went many times, you know, on several occasions, or some people that go every year. You know it's a big thing in our culture. Well, it was a big thing. It's been falling off.
Speaker 2:It's been kind of falling off lately and there's several reasons why. But now that the people have took it over, because the original, because it started up as original, the original, uh, uh, because it was, uh, it started up as the essence magazine, the periodical essence magazine, and, um, they created the festival behind it. It was mostly for women, black women, and um, it it grew, it morphed into something really, really, really big, to a real cultural staple in the black american experience. Right and um, people would go every year, like you know, and it's right there in new orleans, louisiana, and they had that, that, that new orleans theme to it, the food and everything. It was just, you know, from from what I talked to people that that attended this uh festival, that is really a big thing. And, um, now that these people took it over, the original owners of the brand sold it to and to. He had the Shea Butter thing. He was doing the Shea, the Shea, not Shea Butter, but the Shea body moisturizer thing.
Speaker 2:You know, and he's an African brother, you know his origins, his lineage goes back to Africa. I believe it's Nigeria. I want to say Nigeria, I'm not sure. Um, let me see, can we find his, his, uh, let me see. What's this cat's name, what's this dude's name? Uh, let me go out of here. Okay, give me one second family. Okay, yeah, get that bed back in here. Give me one second family. I'm bringing it up. Okay, okay, give me one second. I'm trying to. I should have got this stuff together, okay, the Essence Festival culture is owned and operated by essence ventures, which is also owns essence magazine inside the solomon group.
Speaker 2:Yeah, now, remember this, the solomon group they are. They are, um, responsible for the production, uh, and execution of many aspects of the festival. Remember that name Solomon Group. Now, when I looked up the Solomon Group, these were all white people. I think they had maybe two or three black people in the group. It's maybe like 15 or 16 of them, but most of them are white people and they're in charge of production and putting a lot of the events together at Essence Fest. Now, I'm trying to get to this brother's name. Who is this guy? What's his name? What's this cat's name? I don't have it up here with me, but anyway, he brought the brand. He brought the Essence brand right Because the four original owners were four brothers, these four black brothers that had started everything up. They started the magazine and they were responsible for the festival. Anyway, they sold the brand and now what's happening is they're starting to implement African themed. They're starting to be centered around an African theme. Now I don't know if it's the Solomon group that's responsible for that, but I do know it was very.
Speaker 2:When you people that went and that were doing videos and reporting on it, the events looked very dry. And then Stephanie Mills she she was one of the performers her, lauryn Hill and some other people and Stephanie Mills put out a statement and it it was. It wasn't. It was. Her experience at the festival this year was horrible. Let me see, can I find her statement? Somebody reported on her statement. Let me see here. Yeah, she had a very bad experience. I'm trying to find her.
Speaker 2:She put out like a um, a tweet or whatever. What do you call that x thing? She put out a statement. I don't know if it was x or whatever, but she, uh, she wasn't happy with the, uh, the way things were. Okay, yeah, this is part of her statement. Uh, this was part of our statement I'm just reading a small part of it and said the scheduling and time management was severely liking, creating a chaotic, a chaotic and stressful environment backstage, this is this disorganization cascaded onto the stage, impacting the flow of the event and ultimately diminishing the quality of the performance. This is part of her statement. Um, I don't want to play anybody else's stuff up here. I don't want to play anybody's stuff up here, so I'm not going to do that. And then Lauryn Hill followed her up with her own statement. Lauryn Hill followed her up.
Speaker 2:So what's happening is this and then the woman that's in charge of the event or the organizing event what's that chick's name? The winger, something of the winger. She's, I think, from South Africa, something like that. But this woman, you know she's LGBT, not that that matters, but this woman is married to a white woman and they got kids, or whatever, I don't know. And she's getting a lot of the heat. She's catching a lot of the heat from the backlash of the, the unsuccessful event, because that thing goes on for like a whole week weekend, excuse me, it goes on for like a whole weekend, but anyway, yeah, family. So that's what's been happening. Let me, let me see Can I get something up here, because I heard Phil Scott talking about it. Let me see Can I find that little piece from Phil Scott. Hold on, yeah, here he is. Here he is. Let's turn the music down. Get Phil up in here.
Speaker 4:And she said she struggled to get her food truck and she was going to sell her food truck and an immigrant man came and wanted to buy her food truck and he said he had 25 000 from the bank.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, that's the wrong story. That's the wrong story. Hold on, let's. Let's go back, let's go back, let's go back. That was the wrong story. That was something else a story we're going to get into. I had it queued up. It was in the. That was the wrong story. That was something else a story we're going to get into. I had it queued up, it was in the queue was the wrong story, though, hold on, let me see a lot of people are speaking about the essence fest and the essence fest is not what it used to be.
Speaker 4:The essence fest used to be a cultural you know event for the black community every year and ever since the ownership has changed, many people people in New Orleans have reported that the cultural spirit that's there and what we normally would do at Essence Fest has been going down every single year. And you look at 2025 and it's really really noticeable. And because FBAs have been speaking about this, there are people from the diaspora that live in America that really don't like it, because we know Richard Lou Dennis. He's a Liberian American. He owns Essence, and Caroline Wenger, she is a Kenyan American, it's the CEO. So a magazine that started off with four brothers now is not owned by no FBA. Fba isn't running it and a lot of people having a problem with that. Let's go ahead and check out. This particular sister has to say, because we have to respond to this, because she just don't understand or maybe can't comprehend about us protecting our culture.
Speaker 3:This is why black people will remain in the trenches, and when I say black, I mean African Americans, africans, caribbean, blackness as a whole. This is why we'll remain in the trenches, because we have so much division in us. It is ridiculous. I've been seeing a lot of videos talking about Essence Festival and how African Americans are by courting it and how it's flopping because it's now owned by africans. Because the the there is no african-american, there is not enough african-american representation, and the way they're talking about african how condescending they talk about african. Or how africans, uh, the artists, how african artists are invited, how africa.
Speaker 3:We are never getting out of the trenches. You see our people from the caucus mountain. They will continue to do. They will continue to do better than us, because we are very unserious. Us as a race, as a nation, as a and as an ethnicity, we are very unwell. There's something they did a number on our head that we would rather crumble individually than unite and do something marvelous. No, there's always a division. Oh, these people are Caribbean. Oh, these people are African Americans. Oh, these people are African. Meanwhile you're looking at the same shade of black, but now, when it comes to white folks, you can't hear. Oh, this person is Russian. Oh oh, this person is russian. Oh, this person is from, uh, is from uk. Oh no, this person is from ukraine. No, we don't hear that shit when it comes to white folks, but when it comes to black people, we have different shades of black. I'm so divided it is nosiering. We are on serious people now we're not serious who will remain mentally enslaved till the end of time.
Speaker 4:But that last little bit. You kept saying we, I don't, we don't speak French, we speak English, so that we part has nothing to do with us. But see, here's the thing. Here's the thing, sis. Let me just give you just a little bit of education here.
Speaker 4:Essence Fest has never been a pan-african event. Okay, if essence fest was a pan-african event, then this would be a legitimate conversation that you're having. Essence fest and essence magazine was the highlight of the black american community, highlighted black american actors, actresses, civil rights leaders, sports, uh, highlighted people in fashion. It was more so focused on black Americans, not to say that they didn't feature a brother or sister from the motherland, not to say that or a brother or sister from the Caribbean, but it was more so focused on black American culture, american culture and what the issue that black Americans are having is that Richard Lou Dennis, he is literally trying to pan African eyes, something that's culturally black American and that's what the rejection is coming from.
Speaker 4:You can't have Joloff versus Jambalaya. That will be fine if it was a Pan-African event. Yeah, bring out the Jambalaya, bring out the dirty rice, bring out the Jolof, bring it all out. Hey, let's go ahead and try it all. Listen, if I'm at a Pan-African event, I want to see every food there, right, I want to see the curry goat, I want to see the Jolof, I want to see the dirty rice, you understand. I want to see the foo-foo and the goosey, and bring it all to the Pan-African event. I expect that. Listen, I'm going to Canada next month.
Speaker 2:Okay, we're going to pause it right there he said the foo-foo. I don't want none of that stuff, none of it. I don't want to try it. I got no interest in none of that stuff. I um, no, no, no, I will eat some, some caribbean food here and there. I don't, I don't need it a lot.
Speaker 2:Every once in the two blue moons I might, I might have some, some, uh, some jerk, you know, some jerk or some jerk chicken, a piece of jerk chicken or something like that. You know they rice and peas are very good and they didn't know how to be very good with that curry, those curry dishes and stuff like that. So that you know, I'll try that here. You know, periodically, not often, not often, um, I, um, I have a certain kind of way I eat and I try to stick to that. Now, when I veer off of that, it's usually black, american, uh, soul food dishes that I do and I try to do the healthier versions of that. You know I, I eat a piece of fried chicken in a minute, in a new york minute. I ain't, I'm not gonna hold you, I'm not gonna sit here and cap, I will eat it. Man, I eat a piece of new york, a piece of southern fried chicken in a New York minute, make no mistakes about it, make no mistakes about it. And I love fish, I love me some fish, some, some fried whitings and porgies and mullets and different things like that. So yeah, but yeah, but anyway, yeah. So that's been the backlash of these. People have been trying to pretty much Africanize the essence festival and now you know, we lost Frankie Beverly last last year night. We recently lost him and you know Frankie Beverly. Frankie Beverly was a staple at that Essence Festival. He would be the headliner most of the times. He would be the headliner there and he performed. It might have been at every single one of them and he loved to perform in that town, that city of New Orleans. He loved it there. He loved that festival.
Speaker 2:And from what I'm understanding from all, from all reports that I'm getting, that they didn't even do a tribute to this brother, not even a tribute, not even a mention of him. Now how can you do that? Now I partially blame that on on us and we're going. Listen, man, we get. We got to be real about this and take the heat along with what's happening. We have to take responsibility Now.
Speaker 2:There's nothing wrong with doing business and doing commerce with people selling things. You know, you create a brand and you might have to move on from the brand and sell it to other people. You always want to do that with clauses. This is the clause. I'm selling this to you, but we're going to make a clause with this. This is how this has to go in order to keep the tradition of the brand. You see what I'm saying.
Speaker 2:So now, how you have Essence, don't, don't tribute Frankie Beverly. How, how does that happen? So this is telling me that wang, a chick in the dude I forget his name, phil. You heard him mentioning guy's name. How, how was that an oversight? See, this is deliberate. Um, there's, there's no coincidences there. There are no coincidences. This is, man, deliberate oversight. Now again back to us. You know, yes, we love frankie, frankie Beverly and stuff like that, but now a lot of us, that generation has is pretty much is shifting and we have, we. We are not including in my estimation of things or my analogy of things. We're not really including the, the millennials and the Gen Zers and stuff like that.
Speaker 2:We're really not including them in these cultural traditions, we're not giving them the game. So now, when you, when, when you have people like Frankie Beverly pass on like there's no torch being passed because there's somebody that was supposed to step right up into that and headline that thing like that, and this is just how I see it. Maybe I could be wrong, but we're not sharing, you're not, we're not sharing the traditional experience with the next generations that are coming behind us, and that can't happen if, if we don't start doing that. I was talking to Wise salute my man, wise over at the Righteous Perspective. I was talking to him and we were talking about the tradition of the family reunion. You know that this scene in the black American community, that the family reunion tradition is down 47%, down to 47. Like, like it's, it's way down, people are not doing the family reunions like they like they used to do.
Speaker 2:Uh, 20 years ago, just 20 years ago, people were still, you know, families look forward to their annual events. Now some families do it every year, which in my families on both sides my mother and father's side they try toome on the organizers to get, you know, two, three, maybe sometimes 400 people together from around the country to to try to uh organize them and galvanize them to one specific place and you try to keep it. Um, some families they go on cruises and they go to, they hold it and oh, they might go to bahamas and have it. That's, that's a little. That's a little out of the ordinary. The ordinary thing is to is to try to keep the reunions close to where the elders are, because you don't want to make it hard on them. So usually what, what people, people, the organizers trying to do is to keep it within the confines of where the, where the elder statesmen or the families are. You know, the, the, uh, the paid, the matriarchs of the family, so you don't want to burden them with travel and stuff like that. And and a lot of times, mostly, uh, like a lot of my, on my father's side, a lot of my family are here in the city in new york and and, um, some of them in florida, but the main hub of the people are in south carolina. So we try to keep that. We try to keep it close to to, to where the most people are at, because you want the thing to be successful. You know, every year some families, they, they move around. It might be in Michigan one year and then it might be in Texas another year and then it might be in Georgia the next year. After that. That's cool if you, if, if it's not burdensome on people, but you're trying to keep it. You know where it's. Where it's not, a you know becomes a chore. So yeah, but anyway, back to it.
Speaker 2:The essence festival is very young. It's getting a lot of heat and a lot of people saying they're really, they're really done with it. They don't even want to be bothered with it no more. Because now it's and this is not the only time they've done this. They did that with the hip hop thing, you know, and their brother had to salute the great one, the general Tariq, that that put together the microphone check movie, which I supported and a lot of you probably helped support, and that was a big success. And you had to do that thing with the hip hop because they was trying to do that. It started out with the Latinos and the Jamaicans and Kool Herc and this and that, and we had to battle all of that. We had to beat it back. We had to beat it back and talk it all the way down to they don't even have an argument about it no more, you understand. So we know these things are done deliberately. These cultural appropriations are done purposefully. I'm going to say I think they're done purposefully. These people know what they're doing. See, because if, if, create your own African festival, you know we don't bother nobody, stuff we don't.
Speaker 2:You know I've been, I used to go to to the West Indian parade on Eastern Park. We're here in Brooklyn, new York, every. I didn't go every year but I would go sometimes and go out there and watch the parade attendees in their little scampi, little outfits. And you know they walk around there with nothing but strings on, really, and they feathers and stuff, get a piece of jerk chicken and listen to the music and stuff and chill out.
Speaker 2:You know, just watch the some of the beautiful women, because you know I really, uh, out of all of the caribbean islands, caribbean islands, I really love the trinidad the trinidadian with them some. To me those are the prettiest women of the of the west indies. There's those on trinidad the Trinidadian. To me those are the prettiest women of the West Indies. It's those Trinidadian women. They are some pretty women. I mean beautiful. Beautiful the Jamaican women. Some of them are nice looking women, beautiful some of them, but they're a little more hard looking than Trinidad and Tobago women. Oh my goodness them, some beautiful women, man. Trinidad and Tobago women oh my goodness, some beautiful women, man. But anyway, anyway, back to it.
Speaker 2:We don't bother those people with their, with their. We don't try to inject our culture into their. That's their thing. Let them have it. We can participate and join and go enjoy it, you know, as spectators, as guests, fine, but when it comes to our stuff, people come. I'm starting to notice a tendency Well, not just starting to notice, it's been a tendency for people to come and inject themselves into our cultural things, our cultural norms, and I've been seeing it really. And now it's with the Juneteenth. You see you, now you notice noticing Juneteenth flags, red, black and green, all this pan-African stuff.
Speaker 2:We're like the brother said, we are not Africans. We are not. We had an ethnogenesis here. Go look that up, that word up, go look the term ethnogenesis, and you come back and you tell me are we African? I have nothing to do, absolutely nothing to do with that continent, other than a lineage, a, a distant lineage, which most human human beings that are alive have a distant lineage connection to that continent it's, it's Asia or Europe Most human beings are genetically connected to. So you know, I'm not going to sit here and go through a whole bunch of stuff and pseudo-ism and different things like that. It's not what this program is about. But anyway, yeah, we're spending too much time on this topic anyway, because we got to move, because I want to get out of here and I hate leaving you, because I want to get out of here and I hate leaving you, but I want to get out of here today.
Speaker 2:Um, the other thing and this goes back into um, our, our fault is a lot of this stuff is our fault. Family, we have to take the hit for this because a lot of these things are our fault, because we don't, we do not protect and gatekeep our cultural things like other people in other cultures do, and we have to take responsibility for that same thing. Here now you got karen bass, karen and the mayor of california, mayor Los Angeles, california. Karen Bass she is. She's now what you call it, how you call this thing Giving these illegals money.
Speaker 2:Right, you're just giving them money To. She's saying it's coming from Philanthropists, that it's not coming out of the coffers, the taxpayers, it's coming out of people, charitable, millionaire, rich people. So she say but yeah, so I really don't understand how we are still connected any type of way to that Democratic Party. I don't understand it. We have to take, we're going to have to take, start taking responsibility for that. But people in the Gen Zers and the millennials are walking away from that party and because of this they're playing right in your face Now this woman she's from all accounts that I know so far. I could be wrong, but Karen Bass is a descendant of foundational people. She comes from the lineage. But you got to understand. This is a democratic agenda from the top, from the top of the DNC.
Speaker 2:They're just not going to do. They refuse, refuse. Even after that big loss in the election, they are refusing to come to black Americans and say listen, what? Let us, let us have a conversation, what is it? Let's get this thing together. They're not going to do that. They're refusing to do that and they're going to keep losing elections.
Speaker 2:Now, this is why those people were brought here in the first place was to destabilize the black vote. Understand that family. That's what they came. That's what they were brought here for to destabilize the black vote. Right, because they don't did that. If they got enough of those people over here and these people, people, are they rushing them for citizenship and what do they call this thing? Asylum? Giving them asylum and amnesty and stuff like that, and rushing them to citizenship, fast tracking them to citizenship that will now they no longer need the black vote because they got enough of these people, but it didn't work and now that this guy's won the election, he's bouncing them out of here.
Speaker 2:But understand this too. Understand this too. Pay attention, always pay attention and follow the money. The Republicans yes, they are deporting these people and different things like that, and they just passed this big, beautiful bill which will give the ICE agency much more vast resources to do the job of deporting these people. But understand, they're not going after the.
Speaker 2:The business, um, people that are hiring these, these cheap laborers off, you know, under the tables. They're not going after them. I wonder why. I wonder why now again, you have a lot of the black conservatives on their youtube channels. On their podcast, they'll be talking about how great trump is doing. He ran, he's probably he's doing everything. He ran on that he promised that he was going to do. He's doing it and you know they, just they. You know these, these MAGA hat-wearing Negroes, maga hat-wearing Negroes that are saying these things and you can't tell them anything because Trump is doing it the way they. Let them tell it he's doing everything that he promised.
Speaker 2:But pay attention, you're not going after the people that are hiring these people and these, these big farm farmers that own these big farmlands. You're not going after any of them that are hiring these people to do the picking because, um, people, americans, black, white, whatever don't mind doing these jobs. It's not degrading work. Doing farm work is not degrading. It's just that Americans are not going to do it for low pay. Farm work is very serious work and it can be very hard work, you understand, and you're not not gonna do it for nothing. But you know that's what that is. Now the last thing and I want to get out of here. The last thing we're going to touch is we're going to about a little bit. This touch on is this this Epstein thing? You know, with Pam Bondi, they know Trump, you know he made this statement.
Speaker 2:He was going to he ran on that he was going to release the Epstein files and this and that and as we see family, as we see back to them, black conservatives, the MAGA hat wearing negroes they not talking about it. None of them are talking about it. Now, from what I'm understanding, the MAGA crowd is split on this thing because you got a lot of people in MAGA, in the MAGA community, that wants the lists, because Trump said he was going to make. You know he ran on that, gonna. You know everybody that's on the list is going to be revealed this, this and that. Now they it's the way I see it it may be some very, very, very powerful, powerful, big brokers in that on those lists. And how do we know it's a list without even seeing a list? You know there's a list because what's this chick? Chris Lane Maxwell. She got 20 years. That was Epstein's partner. She was helping him with the recruiting of the young girls, the underage girls. She was helping him with the recruiting of the young girls, the underage girls. She was helping him recruit and she got 20 years.
Speaker 2:Now he was in jail and, you know, supposedly hung himself right. And go listen to Michael Francesi. He was in the same cell that they had Epstein in when he was in that jail and he said there's no way you can hang yourself. There is no way that you can do that. The cameras are on you 24 hours, seven days a week. The cameras are on. They might pause for to to restart them, but that's like a minute. You can't hang yourself in one minute. He wouldn't have had enough time.
Speaker 2:But anyway, I don't want to get into the conspiracy theories or nothing like that because, like, I don't want to get into the conspiracy theories or nothing like that, because, like I said, I want to get out of here. But, yeah, family, soul. So that's what it is. And now there's none of the MAGA people talking about it. None of them. None of them. Why is none of them are talking about, and I'm going to sit back the rest of this week to see if any of them are going to mention it and I will have some conversations with some folks about it.
Speaker 2:But, um, yeah, family, so that's what it's been, that's what it's been. But anyway, we're going to get ready to depart from you, because it's been a little bit and I said we're not going to stay today. So, that said, family, with that said, you must respect life, love justice, cherish freedom and treasure the peace. Come back and see us next week.
