Redistricting And The Selma Marches

SPEAKER_04 4:32

Alright, so yeah, so the first the first order of business that I want to speak to you about. Hold on, let me turn that down. The first order of business I want to speak to you about is of course I spoke to you, well, I spoke to you last week about it. About these um everybody is going bonkers over the Republican Party, registri redistricting uh remapping the districts throughout the southern states and other territories at the behest of the state of Louisiana versus Collies judgment they rendered the decision that they rendered in the Supreme Court SCOTUS, and it is uh it is bedded into law now. It is is the it is what it is, the decision is what it is, not gonna change. However, you got a bunch of fool people out here. They going down to Selma, Alabama to march across the Eddis uh what is that, the Edmund Petters Bridge, as they did Dr. King led that march in the in the 1960s civil rights movement, and people have been going down there in the last two years that I can that I can recall these uh democratic people have been going down there hijacking the ancestr ancestral spirit of that hollowed ground, I should say. Nobody was killed on that day. They must be called Bloody Sunday. No one was killed, but nonetheless, it is hollowed ground because the spirit of the ancestors are in that area. They on that bridge. People were beaten. But the one thing they don't tell you, there was a there was a there was a project in uh in that area of Alabama, not too far from there, that the police, they just weren't beaten and water hosing people on the bridge. They were going into little areas around the commute surrounding the community. Now, most of those marches that was going across the bridge, they were they were people from other states from around the country. But the residents of Selma wasn't having it. They went up, those uh some of the police and and some of those clan people down there went up into the surrounding areas and neighborhoods in that area and tried harassing and beating on people, and they got the brakes beat off of them. And they the the people on Selma told them, Y'all better go back down there to that bridge where them with them folks is at that ain't from here. Because we with it all the way. We would the we with the itch all the way. They was with the shits. And to this day, you know, Alabama's no joke, man. You a lot of them places in the South are like that, where them those people really don't play. Those folks in the South, they've always been like that. Especially when you get down around Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi, uh, and places like that. And this is gonna segue into what I want to talk about, what I came up here to talk about.

When Comedy Crosses The Line

SPEAKER_04 7:58

Now, we got two things here. We had the Netflix blow uh fallout about the Kevin Hart roast, where this this comedian, Tony Henchcliffe, made the joke about George Floyd, and everyone was upset about it. And it was it was a tasteless joke, but it's dark comedy, it's that dark comedy, and in the comedian circles, you have to have that tough skin like that, right? And this this is this is what uh some people like Corey Holcomb has been saying. We might not like the jokes, but it's it's comedy. Nothing is off limits in that particular industry. Now, I'm far removed from that because my time and the people that I liked during that time are mostly gone, except for the exception of Eddie Murphy. He's still around, and uh guys like that. I liked it Eddie Murphy, I liked it Martin Lawrence, so he was he but uh he was borderline to me, Martin Lawrence. I liked some of his stuff, and I didn't like some of his stuff because it was going into that new era of comedy. You know, this guy, Kevin Hart, I never thought he was funny. I know I don't like him. Uh he shows his teeth too much. You're always grinning. What the fuck are you grinning for so much, man? I'm not saying you have to walk around with a scarl on your face and growling at people. You don't have to, you know, you can be happy, you can be joyous. What are you showing your teeth so much for? You buckwheat looking pickininny. And the joke, the joke wasn't funny. This brother lost a life, but you know, like I said, this is dog comedy. At least you could have done was put a serious face on like letting him tacitly know that he was crossing a line. Did he cross the line? Yes. And sometimes comedians cross lines, they do, but that I don't want to get too caught up into that today about comedy and what should be funny and what shouldn't be funny. That's what it is. He said what he said, but I'm letting you, and this is not the first time this particular comedian, Tony Henchcliffe, made a tasteless joke about the death of Joy Floyd. This is not the first time, family. But anyway, things being what they are, you know my take on it is that we need certain protections, not because of comedy jokes, but I want to get to back to that South

A YouTuber Threatens Black Strangers

SPEAKER_04 10:57

thing. Now, you had for the last month, you had this YouTuber by the name of Dalton Etheley, aka Chud the Builder. He had been going around for about a month, a couple of weeks, maybe a month, just constantly accosting black people, targeting and accosting black people, and then he's been he's a YouTuber, so he's been filming and recording this thing to put on his channel. Let me see, something here. Can I get a bed in here? Because uh I'm feeling a little hollowed out here. Let me see. Uh no, okay, yeah, I'll do that one. Yeah. But anyway, he's been doing this and filming this, and and uh he was arrested a f a couple of times. In my opinion, when I viewed this thing, it seemed like to me, it appeared to me that the police were giving him like a tacit approval. They weren't saying much about what he was doing because what he would do, he would run up on uh come up on a black person and say, Um, you know, I'm carrying, uh, you're a nigger, and uh if you uh try to harm me or do anything to me, I have a license to carry, I will shoot you, or either I will prep or spray you. He was doing this and recording it. Uh what I found disturbing, back to that grinning and giggling. What I found type of disturbing, family, you had some some black folks that were actually humoring this bozo. Right? Again, family, we we at war. We at war. My black American family, I'm gonna let you know, as always I've been doing up here, we are in the midst of war, and the war is for our survival. It's not a whole lot of time for joking around, family. So when you come upon something like this, the guy got a camera, he's filming, he's coming up, you talking. First of all, you're not gonna find me grinning at you because first I'm I'm trying to figure out what do you what is it that you want from me. Now, if whatever you're talking about doesn't concern me, I'm walking away from you. If you pursue me, I'm gonna advise you to please leave. I'm not gonna say leave me alone because it's that sounds, you know, for guys like myself, that sounds like like we're at somebody's mercy. I'm gonna advise you, I think you should walk away. And if you continue to pursue me, I am going to stand my ground and defend myself against any type of battery or assault and battery. Okay, and I'm gonna leave that there for you legal beagles out there to figure that out. I'm gonna leave it right there. So, family, this is what's been going on. And let's see, you know, now that there were some incidents, police were informed about him, you know, people call him cops, and there's nothing he can do. He's his fur, you know, his freedom of speech, because that's the guys that he was hanging or hiding behind. He was hanging his hat on that freedom of speech thing. Would you have the right to say anything you want to say? But you don't have the right to choose the consequences of what you say. You see how that goes? Doesn't that just because you have the right to say whatever you want doesn't necessarily mean you have the same right to to choose the consequence of what you say. Because you could say something to any to anybody who you want to say it to. That don't mean they ain't gonna slap the taste out of your mouth. And you oh but uh but I have a freedom of speech, yeah, and I yeah, you do. And that's the consequences if you're freedom day, I slap the taste out your mouth. So, you know, not saying that that's that's right, but again, you don't get to choose the consequences of what you say. And the way I see it, the police turned a blind eye to him accosting people, people would be going about their day, and he would just walk up, hey, listen, buddy, hey, nigger. Oh, you're getting mad, you better not do anything to me because I got a gun, I'm licensed to carry, I'll shoot you, I'll pepper spray you. Now, somebody approaches you like that. To me, the way I see it, that is threat, that is, that is a costing. You're a costing someone. Now, these states, he was doing this in the state of Tennessee, in the city of Nashville, which is more of a tourist type of attraction type of place. He wasn't going down in Memphis where the when them folks at, where our folks at. They really at Memphis around those districts in Memphis. He didn't he wouldn't go down there. He would go to little gas stations in in places like uh Nashville. You know, it's some black people there, but it's you know, it's it's a tourist attraction, and it's not too much rah-rah down there, as we would say, right? He wasn't in the hood, and I think you know why he wasn't. Because most of these white supremacists are cowards, they're cowardly, and make no mistake about it, his goal, his goal, family, his goal was to catch a body. Understand that all this grinning and giggling and ha ha and kikiing that some of the black folks I saw in these videos doing with him, because he's a YouTuber, so everybody thinks everything is funny now. Understand something. His intentions was to catch a body, but he's such a goofball, he failed the mission. Now he shot this man three times. The latest victim, the brother survived. I don't have his name up here with me, and that's my fault, family. I apologize to you for that, for poor reporting, but I I'm not an octopus. I only got two arms and sometimes, you know, I was pretty busy uh before the start of the show. So I didn't, I I couldn't get everything squeezing in like that. But you understand. And again, your brother's not perfect. But that said, he shot his brother, approached him with that same nonsense with the

Courthouse Shooting And Bond Details

SPEAKER_04 18:23

camera roll. I don't know if he had the camera rolling, but this was in front of a courthouse. Let's see if can we get a little a little reporting of that in here. Hold on. Give me a second, give me one second, and see if I get some of that info we in here about his bond hearing because this happened in front of a courthouse. Hold on. Hold on, family. All right, hold on. Let me try to get it. Uh give me one second.

SPEAKER_05 18:57

Personality known as Chad the Builder appeared in court this morning after investigators say he shot a man outside the Montgomery County Courthouse. Maggie, what else can you tell us?

SPEAKER_06 19:15

Yeah, Kendall, of course, after this arraignment, we actually were able to see that um Dalton Etherly was ordered by a judge held on a temporary $1.25 million bond. And of course, that's as the court prepares to have a separate bond hearing next week, we do know. Uh so we're actually seeing that investigators say that Etherly shot another man outside the Montgomery County Courthouse after an argument turned physical Wednesday afternoon. Now the arrest affidavit says that the man was hit multiple times and rushed to Vanderbilt University Medical Center for Emergency Surgery. Etherly is now charged with attempted criminal homicide, employing a firearm during a dangerous felony, aggravated assault causing serious bodily injury, and reckless endangerment with a deadly weapon. Now, Etherly is known online as Chud the Builder, and the Associated Press previously reported Etherly faced criticism over videos described as racist and anti-Semitic. The court records also show that Etherly is involved in another ongoing legal matters, including a pending harassment charge in Montgomery County. Separate civil filings accuse him as well of failing to repay money connected to business agreements and online fundraising efforts. During Friday's hearing, the judge pointed to seriousness of these charges and public safety concerns, as well as Etherley's existing bond status in other cases, while setting that temporary bond amount.

SPEAKER_04 21:00

What happened was with that? Was this when they finally arrested him? They never arrested him when he was running up on people talking that N-word stuff with the RDR. He was never arrested or charged for harassment and anything of that nature. What happened was he went in a white establishment restaurant and ran up a three or four hundred dollar bill and skipped out without paying. And they called the establishment, called the law enforcement, and he was arrested. Because now you you're goofing up now. So now we got to do something about you. You turn into a goofball. We was hoping you was you was gonna do the right thing and and kill one of these folks or on a live one of these folks, I should say. You gotta watch what you're saying, these algorithms. So you're you but his n the the the mission was to catch a body. Just like uh Dalen Roof down there in the AME Church, Bethel AME Church in Charleston, South Carolina, when he when those nine parishioners were unalived. That was the mission. Mission accomplished. We gotta arrest you because it's a major case, it's all over the news. But once we arrest you, we'll take you to Burger King, get you something to eat, and let you know we are, you know, you're our little buddy. Dalen, you're our little buddy. This bozo, you're making so much of a spill with this thing. You shot the guy three times and didn't waste him. He's still alive, he's recovering. You're a bozo in the eyesight of the of your superior uh supremists. Or those other supremists that were turning a blind eye to what you were doing. You're a failure, sir. You're a coward and you're a failure. And they're not behind. This is why they hit him with that high bail like that. And they're not gonna allow him because of these platforms like like Gibbs and Go and GoFundMe, where he's raised a lot of money, I think over $100,000, he's been raising with this, with this uh Gibson Go thing here. And I don't I don't know if the courts are gonna allow him to use it or either the the establishment of Gibbs and Go because they don't want to be connected to these shootings. Now, you remember Shiloh Henderson when she called a little five-year-old boy, the N-word, and that park got I forget where it was at.

SPEAKER_02 23:45

Uh somewhere, where was that at?

SPEAKER_04 23:47

Was it Rochester or somewhere? Somewhere it was, it was, but I remember the name, and that woman got something like I I forget the number, but it was a high number. It was a couple of hundred thousand dollars she got. She got funded. I think it was, I think at that time it was uh go fund me. And she hadn't been arrested or anything like that. She called a little boy, you know, the N-word, and it was taped as somebody else taped, somebody else saw it. She was never charged or arrested or anything like that. But the support she got from the YT community was she got a couple of hundred thousand dollars in this fundraiser because it was saying she had to move, and this was all over the news, and she felt threatened for her life. You know, you know, the normal routine with them. I felt threatened for my life. But didn't know how it goes. So they raised up a month and uh a bunch of a couple of hundred thousand hours for her and she ran off into the sunset, and you didn't hear no more about her. But with this guy, you goofed up so bad, they don't even they don't want nothing to do with you because you shot the guy three times. You he's still alive. You failed. You failed the mission, sir.

Federal Protection And Political Leverage

SPEAKER_04 25:06

Uh this is why I'm saying all of this, family, to get us to see where we need uh federal protection on not for everybody, targeted specifically for foundational black Americans, the descendants of the freedmen. We need special we need uh federal protection from the courts uh because we're being targeted. Now this is why the Democratic Party is hemorrhaging and and they're in a crisis because you haven't done anything. You had the Buffalo shooting with the with the Patron Gendron, you had the Dalen Roof situation, you got this thing with this guy, he's going around targeting black people, but you haven't done those those bills, those George Floyd uh policing act bills is still sitting and collecting dust, hasn't moved out of the house. Let alone get make it to the Senate. It has hasn't moved out of the house, it's still sitting there. The George Floyd uh policing act, which when I first read it, and and I could I could have missed some things, to me it was a nothing burger anyway, but just the fact that it specified our community, the black community. So you you you won't push any kind of federal hate crime bills or anything like that. Now, here's the thing. I was having a conversation with someone, and they was asking me, well, you notice that the Jews never they never lobby or or complain about a specific hate crime bills towards the Jewish community, whether they're Ashkenazi or whatever. And I thought about that and I realized they don't really have to. They don't have to lobby for that, for legislation. Because as a group, as a status, that community is so powerful, they can go at you other ways. We don't have that power. I was telling somebody, I think it was yesterday, I was talking to my cousin, uh, salute my cousin Anthony, Anthony Aberson, salute. I was having a conversation with him, and I was explaining that we have a lot of momentum. A lot of momentum. We're being recognized in different data bases, we're being recognized by the mainstream media and different things of that nature. So we have a lot of momentum. We don't have any power. There's a difference. But before you get the power, you have to have leverage. And we don't have leverage right now. We don't have an economic base, we don't have political representation. Well, the correct political representation as it as it is now with these people in the uh in the Democratic Party, they're not they're not representing us. The congressional black caucus and these these uh do nothing organizations. You know. So this is the reason why the Democratic Party is hemorrhaging. They're gonna lose seats, and they're gonna a lot of them are gonna lose jobs. I heard in my home state, and I am elated by the news in my home state of South Carolina, where both my parents were born. Salute to y'all. Salute, salute, ma and pop, salute. And um they have done remapped that state, and Jim Clyburn, that slimy dog, will be out of a job. And I gotta tell you, I'm here for it. I'm here for it because he was the he was the one that told us to when when the brother put the mic up to him and he and he asked him about reparations.

SPEAKER_03 29:41

Man, why why y'all keep fucking with me about reparations? You keep fucking with me. I'm the one offered the bill. Man, y'all got to leave me alone, man. I'm I'm trying to fry my fish, man. You fucking with me about reparations.

SPEAKER_04 29:57

That nigga ain't even what he ain't even want nobody to uh approach him and ask him nothing about reparations. And another time I heard I seen him do it, and if somebody was had the cameras and mics to him, and he they asked him about reparations.

SPEAKER_02 30:12

Yeah, never get it. Hell no. You ain't gonna never get it, never.

SPEAKER_04 30:18

Now your ass is gonna be out of a job. And I'm glad because you you've been on that seat for 30 years. You've been in that the congressperson in that district, and that district where he's at in Charleston there, that district is the sixth poorest district in the nation, and it has been for the last 20-something years.

Your Thoughts And Final Sendoff

SPEAKER_04 30:42

But family, text us or email us and tell us your thoughts on this. We're gonna depart from you, we're gonna depart, but we want to know what you think about this. We need a specific legislation for federal protection. We're not even talking that's not even dealing with reparations or any kind of compensatory justice. That's just our uh desire to survive these targeted attacks. The Asians got theirs, and like I said, you don't see the Jew, the Jewish community lobbying for any legislation because they really don't need it. But they would get it if they I'm sure they would get it if they lobby, but they really don't need it because it's so powerful, they have so much leverage. You're not gonna bother them. If you disagree with them, they you will be called anti-Semitic. If you disagree with them to a certain point, you will be labeled as anti-Semitic, and you will be ostracized for it. So let us not forget that. But anyway, tell us what you think and and how you see things. Do you agree with us? Do you don't agree with us? We want to know, we want to hear from you. And uh, yeah. We're gonna get ready and let you go. And I'm gonna conclude up here for this week. As King would always say, I'm dear beloved brother King would always say, you must respect life, love justice, cherish freedom, and treasure the peace. Y'all go in peace and keep the peace. Have patience with one another. Don't be so quick to hurt your brother or your sister. And try to spread some love. Y'all take care. We'll see you next week. Peace.
