Welcome Back And Recent Loss

SPEAKER_09

Peace. Peace, and welcome back to Freeman's Affairs Radio. I'm your host, Vaughn Black, Aaron Vaughn Black, that is, and family. Welcome back to the program. I'm back on after a short vacation. Well, not vacation, but a hiatus. And I'm certainly comfortable right now being back home with you. And as always, we're very appreciative of you tapping the button and checking back in with us again this week. As you know, as you know, I am coming off of um, I had a death in the family. My aunt to be exact, my mother's baby sister passed away. That is my last aunt on my mother's side, and I had to to journey down to South Carolina to finalize her and you know fellowship with the family and things like that. But um, before we get into that, I just want to go over today's date. We're here with you 6 a.m. on March 24th of 2026, and today's numerical focus is wisdom culture, wisdom culture with uh two representing wisdom and four representing culture, culture freedom actually, and the twenty-fourth letter in the alphabet is X, which in mathematics represents the unknown, and also is a format for multiplication, right? But mostly X is unknown in the language of mathematics, and sometimes family, we just don't know. We just don't know. As I said, I came back from my trip down there, you know, being with the family and everything. Beautiful service. You know, in the South, they don't play with uh death. You know, when someone passes away, it seems like the whole county comes out for the service now. They don't, you know, here in New York where I reside, it's uh they do the wake thing, you know. You know, a bunch of people come to the wake and you know, people cause and people everywhere. It's just the opposite there. You know, we were at the at the funeral parlor on Friday, or that Friday, last not well, Friday before last. We were at the uh the funeral parlor where they had the remains at. And a few people would show up here and there and a little bit, and let me get a little bed back in here. They would show up and come pay their respects and leave. It was never more than 20 people in in the parlor at one time. But I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you. At her son's house that that Friday after the after the wake, after people visited the the funeral parlor, they came to the yard to her son's house, and salute uh cousin Kenny, salute, and cousin Joyce, and cousin Darion. Anyway, the family started coming. People from around the community started coming, and the family came, and that place was they had about four grills out there Friday after the uh after the people left the you know the parlor, and they had food, food, food, food, food. Then Saturday morning was the the the actual service, the moment, you know, the the the funeral. And we had to travel, the the funeral procession had to travel down to the to the deep country to go to the church where where the rest of you know the the rest of the family is buried and stuff. They got burial grounds there and and um, you know, so we had a I think it might have been 15, 20 car procession with a police escort. And they they very big on that down there. So when we get, we pull up because ironically, I end up riding in in one of the family cars. I think they had about three family cars, and I ended up riding one. Uh her daughter, my cousin Joyce, said, you know, you ride, you ride with us, you know. So I I got in the car with them and rode, you know. I'm I'm just a nephew, but I ended up in the car because, you know, they had a car for the children, uh, in-laws, brothers and sisters, and you know, they have uh grandchildren, you know, a car too for the grandchildren. It was, it was, it was a lot. But anyway, we pull up to the uh church ground, and cars were parked from the church ground all the way back to the highway. That's how it seemed like the whole county came out. And the church was standing room only. They don't really play with that, with that funeral thing down there. They big they serious about that. As the procession is going down to the country, there were people stopping, you know, when we passed the houses and the farms and stuff, there were people stopping and actually putting their hands over their heart and taking off their hats and stuff, and and you know, just paying respects. They're very big on that down there. It's not like here when you have a funeral procession, people are cutting in and out of the cars, and you know, the people see the um the hazard lights blinking, and they'll still cut in inside of the uh procession to get where they're going. And then cars end up, you know, you end up getting disconnected from the other cars in the procession, and you know, you gotta try to go to the burial grounds. But the good thing about down there is usually whatever church you attend, they have a burial ground on the church, on, you know, have a bear a cemetery on the church ground. So that was a good thing. So right after the services, you know, they they Paul Bearers take the the casket out to the to the cemetery and and the committal was right there on grounds. But yeah, family, so the bit and then we uh the repass, they didn't have a repass at the church. They went back to her son's house again Saturday, and I gotta tell you, I gotta tell you, it was it was pandemonium. Just pan, but you know, in a good way. People who were glad to see each other, and a lot of people were glad I was there, and I came home for that. And a lot of the elders, they they they just were all over me, and I it was a good feeling. It was a good feeling, but you know, this thing don't never stop, family. It never stops. And um we get back, we get back, I get back in town, I think Tuesday, I got back in town Tuesday morning. But the ironic thing about it is, as I was saying with the ex, the unknown, you don't know now. The ironic thing about it is I got a call as I'm I'm in the hotel room Saturday morning, getting prepared for my cousin and and them to pick me up to to go, you know, to go to the funeral. They she called me, she said, listen, we're getting starting to get dressed, so you know, we're gonna come by, swing by and get you, and then we'll head out. So I said, okay, let me get in the shower and take, you know, change, you know, get ready and get dressed and everything. And then when I came out of the shower as I'm getting dressed and put my clothes on, I looked at my phone and there was a there was a text up there. So I said, let me see who this is this early texting me. It had to be about maybe 8 30, 9 o'clock, something like that. Anyway, it's a good friend of mine, good friend of mine, my man OG, um, Brooke, um uh Dennis Win Dennis Wynne. And um he had text me, and when I looked at the text, it was a bunch of medical records. And when I I said, this is weird. Why did he why is he texting me this stuff? So I said, let me call him. So I called him, excuse me. So I called him, he picks up. What up, Black? You know, that's how he talks. Well, yo, what up, Black? I said, man, what's happening with you, bro? You good? Yeah, yeah, what's happening? I said, yo, you just text me some medical records. He was like, Oh man, my bad, my bad fam. I meant to text my doctor. I meant to get that to my doctor, whatever, whatever. So I said, okay, Brooke. I said, I'm I'm I'm in the South at a funeral. He said, Yeah, I heard, man, your aunt, man, da-da-da. My condolences, blah da-da, you know, but you know, hit me when you get back, we'll get together. I said, Well, all right, I'ma I'ma delete the text because that's your personal information, you know what I'm saying? I don't want to have the possession of that. He said, Yeah, yeah, no bad. My my bad fam, you know, we'll talk though, you know. So I hung up. And family back to that unknown. I couldn't imagine that that would be the last time that me and that brother would speak. And I'm at the microphone this morning with a very, very heavy heart. My man was killed in a automobile accident on Friday past around 12.27 p.m. And that was I believe the 20th. Friday was the 20th, and and he passed away. And I'm still trying to hope that this is a dream. Because I st it's it's I can I just it's it's hard to digest. A good dude, man, you know crazy about me, I was crazy about him. Like I said, he was one of the guys I looked up to. He was older older than me and uh a couple years older than me, a few years older than me actually, but he was one he was one of the one of the coolest flies dudes I ever knew growing up, and he's gone. And this show, and also, also, just uh last Monday, he he he passed on Friday, but Monday, another good friend of mine passed away, Aaron, Aaron Brown. And like I said, just don't stop, man. You know, the crazy thing is, like we said, it's on the the hour of the minute is unknown, family. Is what I'm trying to get to. The hour of the minute is unknown. And when you hear alive and present in people's that you care about, show them their flowers, tell them that you love them. And I have texts exchanged that me and him shared, and I told the brother maybe about two weeks ago we were texting. I said, Man, Brooke, I love you, bro. And he texts back, I love you too, my G. But unbeknownst, unknown to me, back to that ex, the unknown. That Saturday of my aunt's funeral was the last time I was to speak to him. That was the last time. And I I miss my man so much. I miss him, man, already. It's not it's not, you know, today is Tuesday. And it's it's just hard. It's so hard. But like I said, this this today's episode is dedicated. I'm dedicating this show to you, Dennis Wynn, Brooke. We call him Brooklyn, but we call him Brooke for short. Everybody knew him as Brooklyn, but we call him Brooke for short. But anyway, uh this this program is dedicated to my man and to Miss Aaron Brown. She passed away on Monday, and she was a sweetheart. Sweetheart, sweetest person, one of the sweetest persons you can know. And I'm dedicating this program this morning to them. So we want to give them their flowers, and we're gonna move on. That said, family, that said he got it got that out of the way. That said, the bio focus for this week's program is twofold, and we wanna bring to you Dr. Francis Cress Welsing, family. If you that that is the biopic for this week. As I said, I will every week I will come up here and give a give uh a bio of the people who we need to study from our heritage and and the greatness that we come from. Because they're trying to society is trying to largely erase our they're trying to erase foundational black American freedmen history. So we can't allow that. So the the the two bios that I want you to look up and and dedicate for this week's program is Dr. Francis Cress Welshing, a psychologist, an activist, and an advocate for her people. Dr. Frances Crest Welsing. She passed in 2016, and March 18th is her birthday. I think she was born in 1935, if I'm correct. And she just had a birthday, well, an anniversary of her birth was March 18th of 1935, and she passed away in 2016. But we we she she was, man, go get the ISIS paper. When you look her up, her bio up, go get that book, ISIS Papers. That book connected everything, everything that I get up here and I talk to you about and things I made research. She made it all possible. Reading that ISIS papers, that that literature, that book from her, changed everything for me. It changed everything, and it made me see things with a with a very sharp, much more precise focus than I ever had in my life. That that's what I can tell you factually, and I mean that. So look her up, Dr. Francis Crest. Crest Welshing. Right? And the other bio is about a man named Captain Jack Johnson. And when you look up that name, also type in Sandy Ground, Staten Island. This was a Freedman town. This is when this man was the first man to purchase land for black people in Staten Owen, New York City, the five boroughs, Staten Island. And they made a settlement called Sandy Ground, where black people said that the Freedmen, because they just had abolished uh slavery was just abolished in New York State. I think in 18, I want to say in 1826, and this land was purchased by black, by Captain Jack Johnson and other black people, but he was the sparehead of it in night in 1827. The slavery had been abolished in New York State in 1826. They turned around 1827 and purchased that land over there in Staten Island. And the ironic thing about it is one of his great-great-great-great-grandchildren runs a soul food restaurant over there. Shawnee Dixon. Shawnee Dixon, look her up. It's a soul food place, and they they get the best reviews in the borough of Staten Island. You have to make reservations to go in there. They said the food is out of sight. So, family, look that up. Look that up. Captain Jack Johnson and also Shawnee Dixon's restaurant. I think it's the name of the restaurant is Shawnee's House. Shawnee's House. But they said the food is excellent. I looked at the menu, and the food looks looks fantastic. It looks unbelievable. But those are the two biopics for this week. What's going on here? Okay. Yeah. So that's the biopics. And um I gave you a little warm-up about my little family and my little trip and everything like that. And um, so yeah, but the first story we want to get into, the first story is uh with the Trump administration, there seems to be oil leaking from the boat. You understand? There seems to be oil leaking from the boat, and it's uh he one of his one somebody in his cabinet just resigned and it was a big wig. And we're gonna see, can we bring that in? Let me see if I can find it, find the story. Yeah, okay. Let me see. Where is it? You know, I just had it, and then when you pick this stuff up, it just disappears on you. I had some audio, but let me let me get in here and get to it. Give me one second.

SPEAKER_01

Lewis, a breaking news reporter here at Forbes. Joining me once again is Javid Ali, who served as the senior director for counterterrorism at the National Security Council. Javid, thank you so much for joining me once again.

SPEAKER_00

Brittany, nice to be with you again. Thank you.

SPEAKER_01

As the war with Iran continued into its third week, Joe Kent, the director for the National Counterterrorism Center, resigned from his post. And in a letter addressed to President Trump, which he publicly posted, he wrote in part, I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation. Start off the conversation. How big of a deal is this resignation?

SPEAKER_00

So uh it is a big deal. Joe Kent is the first senior person in the Trump uh national security team to resign his position. And Joe Kent was um uh appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate. And there are, you know, there aren't a lot of jobs that carry that kind of weight. Um so in and of itself, that is a major development. Um and the reasons that he himself uh put forward in his letter, he is claiming that he this resignation is based on principle and it wasn't necessarily based on his performance. Now, there's some additional reporting coming out over the past 24-40 hours that suggests that you know Joe Kent was previously under an investigation and may have been on fin ice already, but up until this point, none of that had emerged. So again, in Joe Kent's letter, he's saying, I did this based on my principles and my opposition to the war in Iran. I also had worked in the National Counterterrorism Center uh before I went to the White House in the late 2010, so I know exactly the organization. I've known all the directors prior to Joe Kent. Um, and that to me is why this is such a major development.

SPEAKER_01

Talk to us about that a little bit more. You're very familiar with the National Counterterrorism Center, where it's there for three and a half years. What exactly does that organization do, and how important of a role is its director?

SPEAKER_00

So the National Counterterrorism Center was created in the aftermath of 9-11 to address some of the intelligence challenges that tragically were exploited by Al-Qaeda that allowed 9-11 to happen. And those all went back to not having the intelligence community as integrated and um uh coordinated as it could have been, or was coordinating uh its analysis to the degree it could have been. There were stovepipes, there were people who are All right.

Selma Bridge March Controversy

SPEAKER_09

That's enough of that. I don't I don't really want to play that whole thing. However, I do have the resignation. Letter in front of me that he addressed to President Trump. And it reads, After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today. Right? I cannot, in good conscience, support the ongoing war. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful uh American lobby. I support the values and the foreign policies that you campaigned on in 2016, 2020, and 2024, which earned in your first term, that you earned in your first term until June of 2025. You understood that the wars in the Middle East were a trap that robbed America of the precious lives of our patriots and depleted the wealth and the prosperity of our nation. In your first administration, you understood better than any modern president how to decisively apply military power without getting us drawn into never-ending wars. You demonstrated this by killing Qasim, Sol Solamini, and by defeating ISIS. This is some strong stuff here, family. Early in this administration, high-ranking Israeli officials and influential members of the American media deployed a misinformation campaign that wolly undermined your America first platform and sold pro-war sentiments to encourage a war with Iran. This echo chamber was used to deceive you into believing that Iran posed an imminent threat to the United States, and that should you strike now, there was a clear path to a swift victory. This was a lie and is the same tactic the Israelis used to draw us into the discussions, the disastrous Iraqi war that cost our nation the lives of thousands of our best men and women. As a veteran who deployed to combat 11 times, and as a gold star husband who lost my beloved wife, Shannon, in a war manufactured by Israel, I cannot support sending the next generation off to fight and die in a war that serves no benefit to the American people, nor justifies the cost of American lives. I pray that you you will reflect upon what we are doing in Iran and who we are doing it for. The time for bold action is now. You can reverse course and chart a new path for our nation, or you can allow us to slip further toward decline and chaos. You hold the cards. It was an honor to serve in your administration and to serve our great nation. Signed Joe Kemp, Director National Counter-terrorism center. That's this that was his resignation letter, family. That was his resignation letter. And um this is what it is. They they that that that that that ship is leaking oil. It's leaking oil over there. And and of course that President Trump is gonna say the guy's crazy, he's unfit, and you know, that's that's damage control, of course. That's damage control. And uh let me let me go to my see any notes I can that I did jot down for this stuff. Let me see what what what what I have here. Joe Kent, okay. Let me see what I have here. Give me one second. Yeah, he resigned on March 17th of 2026, and uh he chose to step down in protest of the ongoing war with Iran. And you know, a couple of key takeaways from all of this family, a couple of key key takeaways is that he his claim there was no imminent threat. And this is what was stated in his in his resignation letter. Right? So there shouldn't have been no military strikes over there according to what he's saying. Uh you got pressure allegations coming, you know, because people are saying what happened to the to the America First platform. You know, you got people lobbying for for pushing the administration into conflict, accusing them of a misin misinformation campaign. And and, you know, this undermines the America First thing. It really does. But who's to say? I don't now Trump is saying, has been putting out and saying this guy's information was limited because he was he was briefed on certain things, then he wasn't briefed on certain things, so he don't know what he's talking about. He's he's shooting from the hip. And you know, so on and so forth. This is what what uh the the nation is is the people of the nation are very upset about this. The nation is split almost in half about this war. Right? Now Trump has dismissed Kent as weak on security, claiming he he's out he was out of loop regarding uh specific briefings. Reports also surfaced immediately after his as after his resignation that he is on under some kind of FBI investigation for allegedly leaking classified information. Uh in this move, but most people that support this camp guy is calling this political retribution as you would imagine. Right? But yeah, I just wanted to bring that uh clip to you, that that that um information to you to stay abreast of what's happening. And you know, we're not gonna talk about food prices and gas prices today. That that's not the mood up here. And um you know, the the the the ship is leaking oil. It's leaking oil. And you you gotta kind of believe that there's gonna be others. That's good because it's you got a whole train of people that are echoing uh Tucker Carlson. He's been critical of the administration for for this war, and and you know, they're getting a lot of blowback. You know. So we're gonna see what happens. And they're they're labeling this guy as a weakling, and he shouldn't, you know, he's he he was never wanted there, and so on and for so forth, and you know, the the regular, the regular stuff with Trump. The regular stuff. So, yeah. But anyway, family, what else we got? Okay, we got down in Selma, Alabama. Let me get some music in here. Hold on. I like talking over this bed. I love this joint right here. Yeah, I love it. Trying to lift my spirits up a little bit. Can't stop thinking about my man Brooke. You know, been lose having a couple of sleepless nights over that dude, man. Anyway, yeah, family. They had a musty, musty man, not a million man march, but a musty man march down in Selma, Alabama. Let's let's see, can we get to it? Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, boy. They've been cosplaying the um cosplaying the bloody Sunday. You see, now, I'm gonna say this, family. You hear these these Africans and and Caribbeans talking about how you know how we ain't this and we ain't that, we're lost and we don't have no culture. But why y'all always running behind everything we do? You run behind it and you hijack everything from us. Now, anybody knows the history of the Edmund Pettus Bridge and Bloody Sunday. People were hurt. Uh John Lewis got his head bashed in on Bloody Sunday, right? They would they were sick and dogs that were biting women's breasts, right? Yeah, water holes, the the National Guard was out there beating on beating on citizens. It was terrible. Why would you take now this whole protest? You got the Somalian community from Minnesota, right? I'm up in Minnesota. It was supposed to be a march from Minnesota to to Selma. Has nothing to do with civil rights or anything. First of all, like Tariq said, y'all were caught scamming, and they now they ready to deport all the all of the Somalians up there. They want them out of the state. They want them out of Minnesota. They want them out. Go home. More than half of you shouldn't be here because you're here legally. And the other half of you, your paperwork then ran out and expired. So you shouldn't be here either. And they caught you scamming up there. They what did they beat beat the state out of$9 million,$9 billion or something like that? Some crazy number. Running all kinds of daycare scams. And you know, these people from the continent are very scammy-ish. Very scammy-ish. And let me see, can I find a little something on that? Let me see, can I find a little something? Because Bishop George Macon did a thing on it. He he had a he put his two cents in it. And let me see, can I find something from Bishop George? Hold on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. All right. Let me see. Let me see. Let me see. Okay, here it is, right here. Let me see what George Bishop George is talking about. Give me a second, family. Hold on, and we're gonna bring the clip right in. Hold on. This is the smilings, listen.

SPEAKER_06

Especially African Americans, they don't even know their fathers. They don't even know their fathers. It was all all of them, most of them were the product of one night stand. One night stand. They will tell you, I don't know my father. Well, who named you? Whose name are you carrying? Well, my mother chose his name for me. I don't know. Is that what we want for our Ummah? Abnai Izina. Why? Because man, he has to give up the seed. And because the marriage will limit them, they will go from one to another to a third. You know, subhanallah. It's one of the African-American people.

SPEAKER_02

Man, these Democrats are going out of their way to erase our history and push this on Kusa society, this black and brown coalition, this immigrant coalition, where these people go out of their way to show us every day that they're not with us. So now you have Jesse Jackson's, uh, one of his other sons, I forgot his son's name, but he was down there in cinema. And he took, he took these people to the Edmund Petters Bridge, right? To the Edmund Pettis Bridge, uh, to Mars, the Somalis. Now, mind you, the Somalis always say that they're not black. They always got disparaging things to say about black people in the black community, right? They always, they come here, they say, well, we've been here for 400 years and we didn't do anything, right? They don't find the time to study our history, to know our history. And they always say that they're not black. But none of a sudden, that Trump is on that bumper, none of a sudden they're black. Now we know on March 7, 1965, on uh Edmund Pettis Bridge. Um there was, you know, there was a march because there was a brother that was that was unlined uh down there on the voting polls. And we was fighting for to have my voting rights, to get the voting rights act put in place. But we know nearly 600 people uh went over that bridge, and when they did, the police down there, state troopers attacked them. Right? They got real crazy, and that's part of our hist that's part of our history that uh formulated uh uh, you know, that was part of the civil rights movement. Now, when Jimmy Lee, uh, when Jimmy Lee Jackson was killed, you know, they started to do this protest, man. This thing is real crazy, man. But look, so now they're down there and they're protesting now on summer. Yes, I'm gonna say it again. They're down there now protesting on summer, saying that we should overcome, and now they want to latch on and link to our civil rights movement. Like, you can't make this up. Look at this.

SPEAKER_11

But the movement is transformed from Demon D to us and now. This is our moment, because our time has come to defend our rights. This is one step in that great legacy. Let's march with the limited.

SPEAKER_09

Now, family, let me let me just let you know, they got all kinds of people out there. Somalians, LGBT plus community out there, white folks. It's a cash re of different groups out there marching on that bridge, cosplaying Bloody Sunday. Let's back to it.

SPEAKER_02

Man, this thing was crazy, man. It was known as Bloody Sunday. So we seen, we seen all the uh horrific images, you know, uh, and beatings that was shocking the nation around that time. And that was our ancestors and grandmoms and great-grandparents uh getting dogs sit on, dogs biting the breasts of women, biting men, and uh they was being beat with, they was being beat with uh um uh police for times. It was just crazy, man. That's part of our struggle and all the things that we was doing to get the national, uh, the immigration act, the voting rights act, the civil rights bill passed. We were fighting to get all these things uh passed. They was nowhere, nowhere to be found, but then they come here and had the nerve to say that the W Man uh fought for them to get here. We didn't fight to do anything. They don't show any respect to us. None. I mean, to the point where even the Bantu Somalis get smoked because they consider themselves, those other um Somalis consider themselves Arabs. Look at the way, uh, look at the uh the way this Bantu brother uh was explaining to how they get treated and then how Somalis talk about us.

SPEAKER_06

I don't think you are going to be happy with me, but let me start.

SPEAKER_10

Afri Somalis deny Africanity. They do not want family.

SPEAKER_09

It's not like we don't we don't already know this. We know this, but the thing is they don't respect our history, they don't respect our struggle, and this is this is really disturbing. This this situation here is really disturbing. And for me, for me, I would like to see us uh start uh really countering this stuff. I would really like to see it, and and I think I have something written down on how we how we counter it. Let me let me let me let's hear a little bit from from my brother uh Aunt CEO. Hold on. Give me one second, we hear a little bit from Ant CEO, hold on.

SPEAKER_07

Any other quality except by the accident Americans, black Americans.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, so they'll date uh an FBA, is that what you guys call it?

SPEAKER_07

Black American Foundation of Black American, whichever you want to call it. Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, they'll date an FBA, and um it's going well at first, but then they start talking about future um family planning in the future, and then they start to realize that the African culture, it's simply in like our cultures are better. Like we simply don't have the degeneracy we see in your culture a lot.

SPEAKER_07

Okay, well, let me ask you this question. Let me ask you this question if your culture is so flying, why are you not in Somalia right now?

SPEAKER_05

Well, we're getting BO.

SPEAKER_07

Wait, well, who's who's we? Who's we? Because the Hutus and the Tuts are fighting in your homeland right now. There's tribalism going on in your homeland right now where people are walking around with an AK-47s and are walking around, men walking around in dresses, unaliving the people in your own homeland. So if your culture is so popping, hold on, hold on. If your culture is so popping, why is the education system so bad in Somalia? Why is the healthcare system so bad in Somalia? You're not letting me finish. You gotta be quiet. If your culture is so popping, why is the education system so bad in your in your culture? Why do you barely have any type of healthcare system over there? Why is all of the infrastructure in your own homeland destroyed? Mogadishu is a terrible city, it's terrible. Why is that going on in your homeland right now? Why is the tribalism going on in your own homeland right now? And you all are the majority of the population, by the way.

SPEAKER_05

Okay, one colonialism and two.

SPEAKER_07

We were colonized too. No, black Americans, black Americans were colonized too. We were colonized too. You're the majority. We're the minority over here. You're the majority.

SPEAKER_05

You guys were insane, you guys have the lowest literacy rate. You guys have the lowest literature.

SPEAKER_07

That's not true. Wait, hold on, hold on. That's you're you're lying. That's not true. That's not true at all. That's not true at all. It's people you're talking about. Let me educate you because the big forehead that you have isn't working for you right now. Let me educate you because you don't know what you're talking about. Again, and this is how these people feel, by the way. This is what you call a tether. So I'm gonna I'm gonna drop you down because I know you're not about to do nothing but talk, but let's get down to the facts. Let's just address this real quick and real fast. When they love to talk about how they come over here and do better, don't get that, don't let that get twisted and get y'all mixed in your head. These people do not, they do not care about education, they do not care about family values, they don't care about any of that. I I would I would advise y'all to do y'all's history on their homelands and why they had to flee. Do y'all history on their homelands and why they had to flee from their barefoot uh uh uh degenerate homelands where they're walking around eating eating cow dung and laying it on the floor and using it as a bed. You want to talk about culture. Y'all are bopping each other over the head right now in your homeland. They cut off the clitorises of women because they're sexually active. You want to talk about culture, you want to talk about culture. There is no culture in a lot of your homelands. Your homelands are depleted and destroyed. Your main cities are like our put cities, like that's your best city. If you compare the education system to the in your homeland, to the black American education system here, it's completely not even a question. See, a lot of y'all like to do this thing where y'all say, we came over here and we do better than you. Well, let me tell you that something that y'all get that black Americans don't get. We don't get immigrant benefits, we don't get handouts and vouchers, we don't get paperwork that gives us easier to access to get education, we don't get international scholarships, we don't get any of these things. Everything we got, we got it out the mud. And your co your country wouldn't be such a sh if y'all actually did something and build it back up, which is why y'all flee to Canada, y'all flee to the US, and y'all flee to the UK because you actually, you're most of you people are lazy. Most of the men of your homelands are actually lazy. And a lot of times.

SPEAKER_09

So this man too advocates say Yeah, I don't agree with, I don't disagree with anything that young brother said. That's that's young aunt, CEO. Uh, check his channel out on YouTube. But I don't disagree with anything he said because everything he said was solid. Solid. Right? Um, I wanted to get a little bit of Tyreek in there. Hold on, let me see if we get Tyreek.

SPEAKER_08

They wanted to show how black they were. The Somalis family. The Somalis went down to Selma and did a march on the Edmund Pettis Damn Bridge family. Good grief. They went down there to Selma and marched on the Edmund Pettis Bridge doing some damn civil rights chants, family. A brother on TikTok said they had a Musty Man march out there in Selma. And a lot of people, a lot of foundational black Americans felt a certain way about that. A lot of foundational black Americans were not feeling that, they were complaining about it. Rightfully so. I think some of it is justified. Because, see, the this fake solidarity that they're trying to do now is transactional. See, you can't. Spend the last five, six years on social media dragging foundational black Americans, trying to prove to the dominant society that you're different and you're better. Then all of a sudden you want to be our cousins when the political heat gets turned up on that ass. See, that's not genuine unity, that's fair weather solidarity. You see? You're reaching out for an alliance of convenience, not out of respect. See, alliances gotta be respectful. You see? It has to be about respect. And see, we reached out to people out of respect. We weren't really getting out of nothing out of a lot of things we would do, but we just do it out of respect. We reached out to to help different African nations and all these different people. We weren't getting nothing out of it, but we just understood, hey, if these people are melanated like us, we need to help them. That's just a respect thing. But again, they're doing things out of convenience and really desperation. Because you don't really have no allies like that. And then they went out there to to Selma, you're treating sacred ground like a PR stunt. Listen, Selma and Edmund Pettis Bridge, these are not just political props. I hate that the Democrats really use them as political props. You understand? But look, that area, that was a major hub for the civil rights movement. You understand? We got fam my family is out there in that area. You understand? Dallas County, um, Lowndes County, my my biological family, my on my father's side is out there, all in that area. So them going out to our family land, especially mine, cosplaying, and and doing all this shucking and jiving, I don't know, we we don't appreciate that clout chasing. So don't don't try to use our ancestors' trauma for your little civil rights clout. You're trying to black it up when it's convenient. You understand? I I I hate when people try to get blackety black when your back is up against the wall, when the block is hot. No, you're supposed to be black, black all the time. Our identity is it's not a costume that you can put on and take off when it's convenient.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, family. So yeah, that would that was um brother Tariq, what he had to say about it. And um, yeah, let's get a little bit more in here.

SPEAKER_08

You know, we're not a meat shield for other groups to hide behind when they fall out of favor with the dominant society. See, uh these folks come over here and they they buy into the myth that, okay, we're the problem. In order to get them butter biscuits, you gotta emphasize on how you're different from us because we're the problem. And then when you start facing systematic realities on your own, now you want to hide behind our civil rights infrastructure that our families built. We're not playing that game. Lineage and history, it does matter. Our civil rights legacy is tied directly to a specific lineage. You know, we survived centuries of American slavery, Reconstruction, Jim Crow, and we can have empathy for the struggles of immigrants and other people, but you ain't gonna co-opt our historic capital. You're not gonna do that while you we know you have disdain for us. You see. And also, we were facing some very unjust challenges. People were targeting us simply because of race. We were being denied certain things, we hadn't done anything wrong. That's what I want y'all to understand. This is the big difference. I got my cousin Jerry in here. What's up, cousin Jerry? But understand, and when we were doing the civil rights movement, we had the moral upper hand. That's why it worked. We we did nothing wrong. We were like, hey, don't punish us because we were, you think we were born the wrong color. No, no, no, no. We're not gonna play that game. You're gonna be fair, we're gonna have justice. We've done nothing wrong. We're law-abiding citizens, we're taxpayers. We're not gonna be denied housing, school, jobs, resources because you don't like our color. We're not playing that game. Now, on the other hand, these Somalis, the f you down there for? Y'all were stealing, y'all were finessing. Get your ass off the bridge. Let's be real. What the hell are you down there for? Your civil rights ain't being violated. You're coming over, you're coming here running scams and finesses. Yeah, you you're not supposed to do that. That that's what I really have a problem with. Don't compare your scams with our righteous justice claims. Y'all niggas were scamming.

SPEAKER_09

Mm-mm-mm. Man, family.

SPEAKER_08

Family with the damn leering center.

Oscars Backlash Over Sinners Wins

SPEAKER_09

Man, family, family. That's I'm not gonna play anymore. Fair use, by the way. Fair use for for uh brother Bishop George Macon. Fair use uh from street media. Go check him out on his YouTube channel, Street Media. Man, let me tell you, family, the we say it up here all the time. We are the moral compass of this nation. We are the moral currency. And this is why, as much garbage as they talk about us, and how lazy, and how you know we're crime, we we we're uh violence prone and criminals and this and that and anything negative you can think of to say about a group of people, we've been all that times 19. Right? According to them. But yet you're at our historical sites copying our events or trying to copy, because you you could never, you could never live up to that. You could never right you're just cosplaying. So let me um bring up uh what you call it, how you call it? What's what's next up here we got, and we're gonna get ready to blow out. I done had y'all up here for a little while. Oh no, that's not what I wanted. Okay. Let me go back. Let me go back. Let me go back. Okay, yeah, this is what I see. What the hell? You know, sometimes this stuff gets just a little no, that's not what I want. Why is it all bunched up like this? I'm sorry, family. I'm just trying to just trying to get uh just trying to get a little bit of um No, this is not the stuff I wanted. Okay, yeah, this is what I wanted. But um Yeah, because you know, we gotta cover the Oscars, because while I was out of town, they had, you know, the Oscars program. I think it was last Sunday. And um, as you know, as you know, this the Sinners movie did a nice little sweep. They didn't get best picture of the year, which they should have gotten, but they did get Michael B. Jordan got the the um actor of the year award, and uh Ryan Kugler got the the best screenplay, original screen screenplay. He got the Oscar for that. And I wanna, you know what I want to do? I wanna, I wanna, I wanna bring in his his uh speech, his acceptance speech, because it was it was uh it was genuine, I would say. Very genuine, very genuine. Let's let's see if we get a little bit of that. Hold on.

SPEAKER_10

I'm very nervous, you know. We can talk about the movie. Um it's all my parents were here. Thank you for all the memories, thank you for making me believe in myself. It's all my babies and my mama. I'm apologizing for all the time away. And then I becomes just a memory. I want y'all to remember this one thing. I love y'all more than anything. Thank you.

SPEAKER_09

Yeah, family. That was Ryan Kugler's acceptance speech. And you know, I thought, you know, he did, he got the the best writing for original screenplay. And the mood, you know, the mood, the film did, of course, they wasn't gonna, they it was so much hype around it that they were not going to let that that film get the best film of the year. They just weren't gonna do that. That would have been people would have been writing suicide notes the next morning in white society. That's just a fact. That's just a fact. And um, you know, people are saying he got robbed, but you know what? They got four, they got they got four Oscars. They was nominated six, sixteen, sixteen times. They were nominated, and they came away with four Oscars for the film overall, and that's fine. That's that's fine. Uh we don't look for acceptance from these institutions like the Oscars and the Grammys. We know our music, we know our talent, and that is enough for us. Okay? Now, you know, with this winning these these awards, you had people in white society with meltdowns, they're still melting down and talking about it. It was DEI and dude. How could it be DEI when the box office numbers don't lie? Look at the data. 360 plus million dollars. That movie rigged in. Right? How is that DEI? But you know, that's that's that's their they that they tell themselves that in order to cope. That is a coping uh mechanism for them. That's what that is. You know, uh how you d look at this, man. Moving beyond uh just movies or or or into a this actually moves into a bait the debate about lineage, identity, and gatekeeping of historical narratives. That's what this, this is why people are losing their minds. Right? Now, the optics of this, you know, in uh in online spacing spaces are flooded with claims that Jordan won for DEI optics rather than merit. Critics argued that uh Marty Supreme, the the actor who played that and uh or Leo DiCaprio's uh one battle after another were um would have been robbed or whatever. It's just a reverse racism claim. Because what it is, the centers movie depicted Jim Crow era Mississippi using a vampire theme to it, but it was a metaphor metaphor more than anything for co for cultural extraction. That's what it was in colonial forces. That's what that was the metaphor of the vampire theme, right? Some people labeled the film anti-white. They argued that the absence of good white characters made the film racially charged rather than historical. That's what it was supposed to do because that was the reality. That was the reality. Then, you know, you can expect white society to have a meltdown. You can expect that. But here come, here come the the uh the Ghanaian, the the tethers, here come the tethers and their bizarre narratives, right? About Michael B. Jordan being Ghanaian, right? Ghanaian descent, which is flatly debunked. It's been debunked. You know, and the origin of this lie uh came during his acceptance speech, where Jordan mentioned that his father had flown in from Ghana. You know, actually, all it is was his father was a Pan-Africanist, and he spends he lives in Ghana, but he's from a foundational black American heritage. He is from the lineage, but he probably bought some land over there and has citizenship there. Because, you know, uh Stevie One and a bunch of them did this whole little public, this uh PR thing where they all got so many celebrities and stuff brought, you know, they got citizenship over there in that country, Ghana, and they do that thing. So Michael B. Jordan's father was probably in that. And um he probably lives there or spends significant time throughout the year in that country. So when he was making his acceptance speech and said his father had flew in from Ghana, right away, right away, the diaspora went crazy, and oh, he he's bringing the the the Oscar home to Ghana, and he's you know, we knew he was Ghanaian and this and that. In reality, his father simply lives there, spends, you know, spends significant times there. You know, and we had to counter that. You know, we pushed back hard on it. Michael B. Jordan was raised in Newark, born in America, raised in Santa Ana, born in Santa Ana and raised in Newark, New Jersey. The attempt about the diaspora to claim his win is seen as another example of the groups trying to attach themselves to foundational black American success while ignoring specific foundational black American history, Jim Crow, Mississippi, depicted in the film. Right? And then not not just the diaspora, you had them old boot-licking coons from the black conservative and their jealousy. Interestingly, you know, interestingly, some of the harshest critics of the movie centers came from black American conservatives. Really, you had your Jason Whitlocks, your big tight suit win, uh Vince Everett Ellison. You know how you know how him, you know, today with his foolishness, his big boot licking self. Man, you need to cut your head bald, man. Them little, we got this dude got like three strands of hair on the top of his head, nothing on his side. What kind of haircut is that? You know something is wrong with that bozo. Look how he dressed. Look, them tight, dumb, this dude is this dude is like 6'3. He looks like he's about 6'3, maybe 250 pounds or so. But he looks like he shot in in the boys' department of Macy's. Man, them suits be high waters, they extra tight. I I looked at him one day. He could he he could barely, you could look at and tell he barely made that top button on it on the suit jacket. I mean, just tight. You first of all, you too old for that tight stuff. You too old for that. For that skin tight stuff like that. And it look it don't look good on you, bro. It don't look good. It makes you look cheap and doofy. But anyway. Anyway, they they got Ryan Kugler and Michael uh B. Jordan You know, they accused of re-traumatizing uh black audiences for profit. You know, the argument is that the film focuses too much on victimhood and systemic racism instead of moving past those times. That's their that's they they angle. You know, it really what it boils down to is success envy. You mean you Negroes are having so much a good time and you're laughing, you're partying, you're celebrating, and my master, you gonna do this in front of my master? That's what that is, family. From them black conservatives. That's what that is. Your Jason Willocks and your Vince Ellisons and all the rest of them bootlicking little YouTube channels, wise, you know you you a king, you a chief bootlicker. You and that April Chapman chick. The queen bootlicker. But anyway, yeah, that's what that all com comes from. Uh, you know, look at it, like I said, back to the box office. 368 million plus, you know, now what that does and why they're so in a hissy fit about it, what that does, it it's critical to dismantling uh the go woke go broke narrative. Many of these comment these commentators on the on the right, these black Christian conservatives, you know, that's their thing. Go woke, go broke. You know uh their hate is being seen as a frustration that that a film centering on foundational black Americans seen as frustration that a film I said that already struggled and black heroism could be so commercially successful without catering to a colorblind perspective. See, because you know, let them tell it. Let them tell it, family. There's no racism. You're just plain a victim. There's no racism. You're you're being a victim. You're you you're you're standing on victimhood. Get out there and go work hard, and nobody's oppressing you. Well, that may be true in some cases, but there is a system at hand. There is a system at hand that is not friendly to us. I'll I'll leave that right there. I'll leave that there, family. And um, you know, they they're mad because Senate didn't just win Oscars. It won. That movie won while being unapologetically foundational black American. You know, despite of the diaspora trying to hijack Michael B. Jordan's lineage, the woke hunters losing their favorite talking points, the success of this film has exposed everyone who has a problem with foundational black Americans, owning our own story and owning our wins. That's the bottom line. Well, big fat Jason, big fat, nasty stinking Jason Whitlock, he's been one of the most aggressive critics of the of the movie. On that fearless, what is he on fearless platform? And his argument is uh racial idolatry that replaces spiritual values with black power imagery. He described the movie as uh what, say some kind of satanic demeanic thing, because it used vampire a vampire trope uh, you know, to address racial conflict, claiming that it stews up grievances rather than offering a path to unity or Christian forgiveness. You know, he he when they never got nothing to say, they turn to that Christian stuff. You know, they turn not and I'm not knocking Christianity. A lot of our people are Christians, and I have nothing against them, nothing at all. So I'm not taking pot shots at. at people's faith. I'm just saying these phonies, I'm exposing these phonies, family. You know, you know, the hate and and the frustration, it stems from the film's refusal to cater to colorblind or conservative lenses. You know, and it and it it kind of put us in like a supernatural resistance type of thing with some supernatural superpowers we have. You know, that's that's what the you know it was a movie. You know what I'm saying? Um they don't never do this to these other directors, these Quentin Teratinos and and these other people who direct these movies and then you had the the LGBT plus community coming at us about why weren't there any LGBT characters in the movie. It wasn't about LGBT. Now if you have a problem with the script or the movie or the writing or whatever the simple the simple remedy for that is to get you a pen and paper write your own script get get with you some some pr production people and make your own movie about LGBT or whatever else you want to that is your right to do that. Now let me show you the the the stupidity in this stuff right let me show you the stupidity at the Oscar Awards the other night they had a group of dancers come out to in in the um in the setting of the sinner's movie to do a dance. You know that that little dance they was doing in the movie around in the big circle and all that stuff. And they were paying homage to the film. Now this guy uh what's this uh that foreign and that foreign music guy that that was making them comments hey I can't think of his name now but anyway he was in it shabozy shabozy that was him shabozy he was one of the dancers in it and you know the comments he made at the at the Grammys about um immigrants uh building the country you remember that right but anyway he was in this dance scene at the this dance performance at the Oscars the other night anyway there were men and women you know male and female there dancing and participating in this performance so my thing is how do we know the sexuality the sexuality of any of those performers who were dancing for that set we don't know if they some of them may have been uh LGBT or whatever we don't know their sexuality and it doesn't matter those were human beings up there giving a performance their sexuality doesn't matter but we don't know that so how could you say there was no representation of LGBT go back to Mississippi in the 1930s in Jim Crow South and show me somebody from the LGBT community walking around and the we did and there there were there were definitely people who were of that lifestyle but it wasn't broadcast widely like it is now but you did have people that were of that lifestyle back then. It just wasn't a wide accepted thing but that's not the vision that brother Ryan Coogler had for this film. He used oh the the the the the stack twins because I'm I'm I believe he was related to them in his family some kind of way. So he was telling the story from his perspective just like if I was to write a book or some kind of memoir from a black man's perspective who can do that better than a black man a Chinese man can't write that and it'd be authentic or it'd be good nor could a could a woman do it. And just like I couldn't write a script or a memoir from a woman's perspective because I'm not a woman. So the brother wrote that script and and produced that film according to his lenses or what he saw from his experiences in his family. And these people they just cannot leave just leave us alone please same thing with this this Vince Ellison dude his goofy self he got something that's bad oh it's DI why why we need Oscars to to to to give us validation no it don't give us validation but we showing we should we doing our thing and at the same time letting it be known historically that we can do it all we can we can run the table on the whole thing. We not just boxed in one corner we not just boxed in one corner but I love that film you know I love that film and I went to the to the movies to see it about three times I went and you know I want to play if I could play my favorite part up here hold on a second give me a second let me bring I'm I'm trying to it's in the queue and I want to bring it up I I think this is the trailer for hold on hold on family you Hogwood you boys twins nah we cousins well here she is he moved a ton of timber a month back in his heyday workers lived upstairs.
