Challenging Narratives From Deportations to Drone Dilemmas

You can text freedmen’s network here !

Equality and culture: mere buzzwords or the keys to a fair society? Join us as we embark on a thought-provoking quest to unravel these concepts and their impact on justice. We start with a reflection on wisdom's role within culture and then navigate through the complex dynamics of high-profile legal cases, including those of Sean Combs and the intense security measures seen in New York's recent court proceedings. Our discussion also touches on the societal implications of xenophobia, and how public perception is often molded by contrasting media narratives and law enforcement actions. 

The conversation then shifts its focus to the heated debates surrounding immigration enforcement and deportation trends, shedding light on the personal stories of individuals deeply affected by these policies. We question the motives behind current immigration policies and explore the need for unity among diverse communities facing these challenges. Amidst these serious topics, Tariq’s comedic insights provide a moment of levity, while we also ponder the importance of legal immigration and the intricate relationship between citizenship, reparations, and democracy.

Our journey concludes with a deep dive into the complexities of Black empowerment and political strategy in the wake of recent elections. We explore economic concerns that drive voter priorities and challenge the notion of a monolithic Black American community. The episode further explores gender dynamics, especially in the political arena, and the frustrations that arise when campaign promises fall short. From the cultural appropriation debates in hip-hop to the fascinating world of drone technology and potential threats, our discussions aim to provoke thought and inspire action on these pressing societal issues.

Speaker 1 (00:22):
peace, peace, peace and welcome back, welcome back
to the Freedman's Affairs Radio,the Freedman's Network, and
your boy, your guy Vaughn Black,is back with you and I just
want to wish everyone peace andthank everyone for tapping in

(00:45):
with us on this day, december24th 2024.
We're dealing with wisdom,culture.
Wisdom culture is the math forthe day, and that manifests or
all being born to equality, andwe understand wisdom to be

(01:08):
manifest, or all being born toequality, and we understand
wisdom to be right, discernmentor correct judgment.
Right, that's what wisdom is.
And culture is the sum total ofpeople, activity Relating to

(01:30):
language, relationships, dress,food or cuisine.
And how do we determine if aparticular people or have a wise
culture?
We have to view that groupthrough the lenses of equality.

(01:55):
Right, stay with me.
And when we do that, we're ableto see, because equality is is
balance, right and uh, fairness.

(02:16):
Balance, fairness, homo statiusor harmony, and we we look at a
people's culture.
These are attributes we lookfor to make the right judgment
about those particular people.
Right, I'm just keeping it real.

(02:37):
We do this is what we do ashuman beings, from one group to
another.
This is why we are able todistinguish different cultures,
but we have to view everyculture through the lenses of

(03:00):
equality.
Is that fair enough?
Through the lenses of equality,is that fair enough?
And sometimes we.
If you go to the 24th letter inthe alphabet, which is X the
unknown.
In some cultures that we'veexperienced, they have what most
people refer to now asxenophobia, and all X is is the

(03:26):
fear of the unknown.
Right, that's what xenophobiais the fear of the unknown and X
is the unknown, it representsthe unknown.
So, yeah, family, yeah, we'retrying to grow up here.
We're trying to grow and thisis why we bring it to you, like
in the fashion that we do,because we're trying to grow up
here, we trying to grow, andthis is why we bring it to you,
like in the in the fashion thatwe do, because we're trying to

(03:48):
grow.
All right, you with me.
So far Good.
So what do we have?
What do we have this week?
Oh man, it's so much.
It's so much going on.
It's so much, uh, you know they, uh, sean Combs had a hearing

(04:08):
the other day.
He had a hearing the other dayand I believe it was last
Thursday, thursday past.
Yeah, he had a hearing, I'm notsure some kind of relating to
discovery.
They were talking aboutdiscovery from from what the
news reports were saying andfrom the reports.

(04:31):
They were saying that that hecame into court looking, you
know, like he lost some weight,significant weight, and you know
his hair is gray.
His hair is, and you know hishair is gray, some of his hair
is turning gray and things ofthat nature, and he looks I

(04:56):
don't want to say malnourished,they didn't say that like he was
dehydrated looking or nothinglike that.
They just said he lostsignificant weight, which is to
be expected.
He's not able to looking ornothing like that.
He just said he lostsignificant weight, which is to
be expected.
He's not able to eat all ofthat luxurious, rich food that
he's used to eating.
You know, whenever he wasn'tgetting high, taking the

(05:20):
narcotics, so yeah, you canimagine that he probably lost a
few pounds.
You know that happens, thathappens.
You know he's probably eating.
You know he's probably beingvery selective about what he
eats and I'm quite sure thatgetting him food in there from
the street at some point.

(05:40):
You know this guy he's gotmoney so he can make things
happen through his lawyers.
You know this guy, he's gotmoney so he can make things
happen through his lawyers.
You know they can makeconnections through the
correction officers there inthat facility and they get him
some outside food.
You know I'm not sure how thefood is at that facility Most of
the time.
You know when you go on thecourt and stuff that food be so

(06:02):
horrible the mess hall food.
Know, and you go on the courtand stuff that food be so
horrible the mess hall food ifhe's going to a mess.
So I don't think, I don't thinkhe's in an irregular populated
or housing or nothing like that.
I think you know he might be insome kind of some kind of uh
unit or from everybody you know,from the rest of the people.
Now, this kid that, that, um,that kid that that blew away

(06:22):
that health insurance CEO, theysaid he's in the same lockup as
Zonkoms and he would be underthat heavy, heavy security
status, housing or whatever.
And speaking of that, speakingof that family, you seen how
they brought this dude intocourt in New York the other day,

(06:44):
I think, to read his federalcharges or whatever, into that
family.
You seen how they brought thisdude into court in New York the
other day, I think, to read hisfederal charges or whatever.
You seen how they brought thiskid in the court?
Man, they had to be about 20 or30 cops around this guy.
I mean including Mayor Adams.
Mayor Adams was there.
They did the prep walk.
They did they prep walked himand it was so many cops around

(07:05):
you would think this dude wasDaylon Roof or some kind of
serial Charlie Manson orsomebody.
This guy has so many copsaround him and he killed one.
He killed that one person.
He assassinated that guy, theCEO guy.

(07:26):
I forget his name.
I don't have that work in frontof me here.
I apologize for that.
I wasn't even expecting to talkabout him.
But you know, we just right nowwe're just shooting a breeze
and trying to get the mood set.
But, yeah, family, you knowwhat that was?

(07:46):
Because I was listening toSabby Sab's podcast and she was
saying that that is a way forthem to try to intimidate the
public, because a lot of thepublic is not looking at him
like he's a murderer.
They're looking at him throughthe lenses of a hero, like

(08:11):
giving him hero status.
Family, yeah, that's what.
That's what's happening.
They talking about this guylike he is a hometown hero, the
way he laid and waited for thatguy, and this is why they I
think they bumped it up tofederal charges.
But this was, this was a I don'tknow.
I gotta look into that because,because I haven't been really
following it.
You know, the case is a bigcase and and you know, initially

(08:34):
I followed it because it was sobig in the news cycles but I
haven't been paying closeattention, close, really close
attention, as I, as I would whenit comes down to, to news
stories concerning our lineage.
I just haven't been um, I'vebeen following.
It is about as much as you knowtop, you know surface level as

(09:00):
I could, because you know youhave to know what's going on.
But the public is looking atthis, this young man, as a hero.
Now, there were there was somediscrepancy, saying there was
some funny stuff, saying thatsome of the first photos of him
images of him when this thingfirst happened he had the hood
on and the face mask coveringhis bottom half of his face and

(09:24):
just his eyes were showing.
And then, when they showed themug shots, when they actually
apprehended him, I think at amcdonald's or something like
that in pennsylvania, somewherein pennsylvania and, um, they
were showing the mugs, the, theimages side by side and this guy

(09:45):
has a unibrow, damn nearunibrow, but in the images from
the end of the shooting incident, with the hood and the face
mask on it, didn't?
It doesn't look like the sameperson.
So there was there was somepeople talking about that and uh
, yeah, I've heard things that Iwas.

(10:05):
I was wondering was it just me?
Because I was thinking the samething is this the same person
that that, uh, allegedly.
Um, well, who did the, the act?
Who did the crime?
Because it was, it's not alegend, there was a crime
committed and it was on and itwas caught on image, you know,
camera.
So, yeah, it's not allegedSomebody did so.

(10:32):
I don't know if it was thisyoung man or not, but this is
the law enforcement saying thisis him and they round him up and
they went and got him, theyapprehended him and he is in
custody.
He is in custody right now,whatever his name is.
I forget that and again, onceagain, I apologize for not
having that information up herewith me.
But yeah, so, but anyway, anyway, as I was saying that the

(10:58):
public is looking at this guylike a hero, because a lot of
people are very upset in thisclimate of the country now with
the health care insurance andand people.
You know this is getting pushedto the forefront of why united
states of america does not haveuniversal health care for all
people.
But we know why there's nosense in playing with it and we

(11:22):
know why.
We know why, exactly why.
And so what they, what the,what the law enforcement did as,
as in conjunction or inconnection to, to the media, the

(11:43):
image they put out.
When they brought this guy toNew York they got about gotta be
about 20, 30 people around himgoing into court and these
they're carrying assault weaponsand military style weapons.
They got the riot gear on andthe helmets.
These guys look like they'regetting ready to go out to

(12:06):
desert storm surrounding thisguy.
Now they can't possibly thinkthis dude is that dangerous
daylon roof.
If you remember daylon roofdown there in charleston, south
carolina, at the uh, motheremmanuel church there, which I
visited recently, when I wasdown there in Thanksgiving week,

(12:26):
I was down there and I went andvisit that church.
I went there, I took somephotos and that'll be going on
to the to into video and when I,when I, when, when the YouTube
channel finally gets underway,that footage will be going in
there.
But I did visit that church.

(12:49):
But yeah, daylon Roof killednine people and they didn't have
that many.
When they finally got him, theyfinally apprehended him, he
didn't have that many peoplearound him.
He didn't have all of thosecops and law enforcement around
him like this guy.
So what they're doing is they'retrying to send and send a
message, or it's a scare tactic,trying to intimidate the public

(13:13):
.
This is what sabby sab wassaying.
Sabrina savati on her podcast,what she was saying that uh, and
it's and it's not working, it'snot working, it's not working,
it's not working.
It's not working because peopleactually and it's not good to
say this, I really don't takeany pleasure in saying this
because someone lost a life andit's you know, he's not a

(13:36):
foundation.
This guy was a white guy, butstill he lost his life and he
was a husband and a father andsomeone's son and he was a
husband and a father andsomeone's son.
So we don't like to see that.
But the public is like goodriddance because they're so
angry at at the health careinsurance companies that that

(13:56):
are really actually from.
According to what a lot, of, alot of people are saying,
they're actually killing people.
Right, the health careinsurance, they.
They take all your money foryour premiums and everything and
then when it's time you get,you come down with something or
you need the insurance, theydenying you and this and that,

(14:17):
and I hear a lot of that.
I hear a lot of that, you know,and I'm thankful that that.
I haven't been through that ornobody in my family has.
Well, to a small degree, I'veheard some of my family
complaining about the system andhow it is, and I think the
system could be better.
It should be health care foruniversal health care for all
American citizens.
You know they have it in othercountries but we don't have it.

(14:41):
And we know why we don't haveit is because of us other
countries but we don't have it.
And we know why we don't haveit it's because of us family.
It's because the foundation donot want us having anything that
will give us equal footing onany level in any industry, in
any industry, and they and I'mgonna talk about this a little
later on in in the uh in theprogram, even when it comes to

(15:04):
the music, and I'll go into thata little later you know the
battle we had all last year andthe year before.
The last 18 months we've beenbattling with the hip-hop music
and the trying to hijack thataway from us, the creation of it

(15:28):
.
But we, like I said, we'll gointo it a little later Um, but
yeah, that's um, but you knowwhat else?
You know what is what's reallygoing on?
You know what's really going on?
Family, um, I ran acrosssomething that was I was the
other day.
I was.
I was listening at at a um, ata x space, that tyreek, you know

(15:51):
he does these, these x spaces.
I think that brother be puttingout stuff clips every every day
or every other day.
He's scheduling, he's doing alot of work and I was listening
to one of the spaces and theywere saying on on this
particular program, that that,that um, the government, you

(16:14):
know, they, they.
There's a lot of chaos in theair right now behind this, this
um proposed migrationdeportation thing, these
immigrant deportations.
There's a lot of noise going onwith this stuff.
Right, and this, this has beenbig in the headlines and some of

(16:37):
the um, I said, some of thecontent creators been talking
about this, and I was listeningto an x space the other day and,
uh, let me see, can I get it upin here.
Let's see, can I get it up inhere.
Hold on, just give me a fewticks and we'll see can we get
that in here.
Hold on, hold on, let me getthe music down.

(17:02):
Let's see, let's see, let's seehere, let's see here, let's see
, hold on.

Speaker 7 (17:08):
Hi Tariq, how you doing?
I want to tell you two things.
They've been deporting peopleleft and right here in Houston.
I mean, they did a bus onAntoine with Venezuelans, dope
guns, everything, and then thislady.

(17:29):
They were supposed to have beengoing to the deportation place
to get their papers.
Well, the lady went into laborand had to have a C-section.
Instead of her husband going toget the papers right, he went
to the hospital with her anddidn't go to the immigration
office.
So they deported her.
It's been all over the news.

(17:50):
Everybody been telling me onTwitter.
It's been all over the news.
They deported her.
The brand new babies, herC-section and her other kids,
Damn, and yes, as soon as shehad them, they deported all of
them.
And they about to deport himtoo.
He trying to get a lawyer.
They about to deport him too.
They've been really doing somesweeps here In the last past

(18:14):
week or two.
They've been doing some sweepsand I wanted to ask you do you
think that y'all governor gonnaput y'all on lockdown, since he
put a state of emergency?
I don't know if you touched onit, because I came in at the end
of, at the end of the firstbroadcast yeah they got.

Speaker 8 (18:37):
They said there's like some bird flu going on out
here and they're talking aboutit's an epidemic and a pandemic
and all that stuff.
And it sounds like it mightkind of be a finesse If they do
this state of emergency thing.
That can kind of slow down ICEor somebody getting deported or

(18:57):
if people go to the hospital,that can probably slow it down.
So it sounds real weird thatthey put that state of emergency
for the bird flu.
I'm like who the hell got thebird damn flu?
I'm out here I don't see nobodywith no damn bird flu.
So this sounds like a ploy topossibly stop the people from

(19:17):
coming in and rounding folks up.
Because what I'm seeing?
I was in Hollywood a couple ofdays ago and I saw some people.
I don't know they were someofficial people but they were
like checking homeless people.
They were just I saw a bunch ofthese people.
They almost look like parkingattendants, but they were
something else.
I couldn't tell what agencythey were with, but I noticed

(19:39):
they were all going up to a lotof the homeless people and kind
of checking them and all of thisstuff.
So I'm like does this havesomething to do with the
immigration.
They're checking everybody.
But yeah, it's about to getreal.
It's about to get real out here, ladies and gentlemen.
So this is why people up hereare like we're all the same,

(20:00):
nigga, let's build together.
You see, this is why we'rehearing this.
We all together talk rightabout now it's getting very,
very interesting.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
Tyreek is a nut.
I swear man, sometimes I can'twith him.
Tyreek is.
I thought I was.
I thought I cut a lot of fool.
Family.
Tyreek be cutting a fool.
He be cutting a fool on the maxbasis.
I mean every day.
Tyreek just be.
You know, he got he's got that,that, that borderline comedic

(20:36):
thing going on with him and heknows how to roast people.
Good, but yeah, but what he'ssaying is real.
What he's saying is real.
What he's saying is real.
You know now, everybody talkingabout brother, we must stay
together.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Y'all keep See.
The thing is now a lot of people, a lot of those foreigners, are

(20:56):
scared now because they talkingabout this.
These are deporting all ofthese people, not just
Venezuelans and South Americans,they're talking about Indian,
east Indian people, they'retalking about Africans, they're
talking about Asian people.
They got some smoke foreverybody.

(21:20):
But from what I understand fromthe news reports that they are
going to be focusing on thecriminal element in the top
stages.
They're going to be Now, let'sjust be keeping a buck family.
They're not going to be Allthose 11 to 13 million people

(21:42):
they don't let in here.
So far in the last four years,maybe more.
Some say up with a 16 million.
They're not going to be able toget all those people out of
here in no, four years.
They're not.
They just not.
But the criminal element iswhat?
What they are going toaccording to news reports I'm

(22:05):
just giving you what I get iswhat they are going to according
to news reports.
I'm just giving you what I get.
But according to the reportsthat this is that Tom Holman,
who is the border czar, he'sgoing to be in charge of this
program about getting thesepeople out of here and,
according to them, they're goingto be focusing on the criminal

(22:29):
gangs and and the criminalelement first.
Those people will go first andthen they will start with
rounding up.
Uh, certain people, people thatdon't overstay their visas and
and came here on short uh stayvisas and and things of that
nature, or work visas, andwho've been here 10, 20 years

(22:51):
and their visas has been expiredand they haven't done anything
to get themselves legitimizedthey're going to be also getting
out of here.
And that's a good thing, it's agood.
I think it's a good thing,think it's a good thing.
I'm not.
I'm not against it at all, I'mall for it.
I am all for it.
And if you came here the rightway, we're glad you're here.
Come on in and contribute tothe economy, pay your taxes like

(23:15):
everybody else, like all of usdo, and and hey you, you can
live, you can do you're an.
American citizen at that point.
And also I'm hearing that Trumpwants to end birthright
citizenship, which I think I amin total agreement with that,
totally.
This is why we have situationsnow where we have a hard time.

(23:40):
You know, we've delineated thefoundational black american
descendants of freeman.
We we've been on thisdelineation movement, but it's
very hard to get our right.
Well, not hard.
It's been difficult to reallyapproximize just how many of us
is now.
It's most people think it's 43to 45 million of us here.

(24:04):
Let me get some music back inhere real quick, um, but however
that's it's, it's really verydifficult to tell that.
No, this is why I think and Ididn't want to give it away
divine, uh, prince is supposedto be up here, I think next week

(24:26):
or the week after next.
I spoke to him the other dayand he's supposed to.
He heads the Freedmen's Projecthere in New York.
He's at the head of that, himand Annette Wilcox and some
others, but he's been trying toget up here but Devon is very

(24:46):
busy and I understand, and uh,but he told me he wants to come
up here and do the podcast anduh, I've been waiting for
brother.
He's a good dude man, real gooddude.
Um, we was at a hearing theother day right out in Roxdale,
queens.
We went to a hearing becauseyou know the commission, the

(25:07):
reparations commission here inNew York.
They had two meetings there inRocksdale the other day last
week and I went, I attended andthe fine was there, you know, of
course, but he's supposed tocome up here and kick it with me
, so we're going to wait on that.
But, yeah, this is my thing.

(25:27):
I'm gonna talk to him aboutsome things about we.
We need to start gettinggetting a database together, not
just here in new york, but innationwide, a database to to get
a figure on just how many of usit is and and where we're at
the, the enclaves of where we'reat.

(25:47):
We need to, we need to get thattogether because we've been um,
you have people that are thathave had children with, with
people from other countries,from the caribbean and from
africa and stuff like that, andit's just, it's very hard
getting approximate, getting athumb on just how many of us it

(26:09):
is, and we're going to have todo this thing.
We're going to have to reallydo this thing and get to the
meat and bones of this thing,and that's going to be.
You know, we're going to keepfighting for the reparations,
but I really want to have adiscussion with Divine about
that, about that, yeah, howwe're going to keep fighting for
the reparations.
But, um, I really want to havea discussion with divine about
that, about that, yeah, howwe're going to get to get to

(26:30):
knowing who's who and gettingthis, getting a database
together to know who's actuallyfoundational, because they they
call, they all call usafrican-american, whether we
from here, this lineage, orwhether they're from the
Caribbean or from Africa.
They call us bunch, got usbunched in.
So we want to get the numbers,the actual numbers of who's

(26:52):
actually foundational and youknow, that's that's, that's my
concern, that's the thing.
I really want to get that, getthat rolling and get some, some.
I don't know if legislation isthe word, but we really want to
get some accuracy with that.
I do anyway.
But, yeah, family, yeah.
So what's happening now is therethere's a quiet.

(27:14):
It seems like from what thesereports are saying I just played
it for you on tyree's programthat there's some kind of quiet
deportation already starting totake place, and that's not the
first place.
I've heard that.
So, yeah, that could be what'shappening, because you know the
Democrats were talking all ofthis smack about they was going

(27:37):
to form a coalition to opposeTrump and all of it it was.
You know it was about the, itwas about immigration, it was
about immigration.
You know it was.
See, because these people areafraid now and they want it.
They want the looking at us,the foundational, the black of
the black Americans that theytalk so bad about, right, they

(28:01):
got so much smoke for they.
Look into us now, right, right,they got so much smoke for they
looking to us now, right,looking at us, wondering what
we're going to.
We are minding our own business,we are.
We have enough on our platesdealing with, with the things
that we're dealing with.
So we don't, we can't getinvolved.
Family, we cannot.
We don't have the, theresources or the energy to get

(28:24):
involved in other people'saffairs and this is why they
need to stay out of our affairs.
Now, when we extended the handof fellowship and brotherhood to
these other melanated nationsfrom other countries and other
lands, they didn't want nothingto do with it.
They, you know, we are codders,we Yankees, we this, we that,

(28:46):
we lazy, da-da-da-da,da-da-da-da and ba-da-bing,
ba-da-pow, you know?
So no, no, no, no, no, no, weain't got, we don't, we can't.
We have no help, no resourcesto help you or no energy to help
you.
You have to hold your owntesticles, just like we did,

(29:11):
right, but yeah, so this is allintertwined together with this,
with this thing, and not onlythat.
Uh, the, the democrats, thedemocrats.
You know I was tired of talkingabout them because leading up
to the election and then alittle bit after election, we
kept on the political thing.
Well, family, family, theystill trying to put out that

(29:32):
fire.
You know I never spoke on this.
This woman raised the Harris,the vice president, during her
campaign.
She raised a billion and a half, or some say two billion
Dollars for her campaign, right,and they have a deficit of 20
million dollars in the red right.

(29:54):
Where did where did the money go?
Now we know stories came outabout al sharpton getting
getting a half a million and oldBeep, beep, beep, beep, beep,
beep, beep, beep, beep.
Roland Martin got $350,000,they said something like that.
He got a bag and they lost soheavily.

(30:19):
I mean, she got washed, washed.
This dude flipped the wholecountry Right and they're still
trying to put out these fires.
It's like they had a big oldfire and they still got it.

(30:40):
The fire is the smoke andeverything, but there's still
little pockets of fire going onand they still trying to figure
out things.
Let's, let's, let's, go to myman here, let's go to my man
here.
Hold on and fair use, by theway.
Fair use, Fair use, hold on.

Speaker 10 (30:58):
As, ladies and gentlemen, they're still
discussing the election, and thereason why they're still
discussing the election,especially with black men, is
because black men in particulardid something that they didn't
really see black men doing.
So there was an interview witha Tanisha Sullivan with the
NAACP out of Boston and theyjust questioning her about black

(31:19):
men and even the way we vote.
But it's a reason why they'redoing that.
Let's go check that out.

Speaker 6 (31:24):
Democrat to Republican, slipped from 84
percent to 67 percent, driven bydesertion of black men.

Speaker 5 (31:35):
Why.
What's going on to know aboutthis last presidential election
is that so many people, throughtheir vote, expressed deep
concern about really the breadand butter issues really being
able to make ends meet, beingable to pay the rent, being able
to buy eggs, being able to buygas, being able to have one job

(31:55):
that is life sustaining and,through their votes, um, really,
uh, had their voices heardabout the change that they
wanted to see.
Not just in the white house, Iwould say, but across government
.
People want to know thatgovernment is working for them.
That said, um, I think it'salso important um to to
recognize that black people arenot a monolith, um, and so if

(32:20):
there's anything that we candeclare coming out of this
election, is that that is, infact, um, the case.
Black people are not a monolith, and so, if there's anything
that we can declare coming outof this election, is that that
is, in fact, the case.
Black people are not a monolithand, in many respects,
represent a diversity ofpolitical ideology and
perspective and are not bound toany one political party.
Does this?

Speaker 6 (32:37):
dictate changes or rethinking of your, of what you
do and your organization'smission?
For instance, does it mean lessemphasis on police reform and
other crime related issues thatare are controversial?
You know where there's some, orpotentially some, some

(33:00):
rightward drift in theelectorate.

Speaker 5 (33:02):
I think it's important to understand that
what we saw and certainly, Ithink, some of the the the data
coming out of out of theelection is that economics
really rose to the top of thelist, the top of the priority
list for many voters.
That does not mean that peopleare not concerned about public

(33:24):
safety.
That does not mean that peoplethat black people or anyone is
not concerned about racism andracial discrimination, nor does
it mean that we have succeededin eliminating racism.
There is not a black personwalking the streets, dare I say,
who wants to be subject toracial profiling on any level,

(33:46):
and so this election should notbe an indication that for the
NAACP or for any civil rightsorganizations, that our work is
changing.
What it may mean is that theways in which we go about
advancing racial equality,fighting against racism, the
tactics, may change.

Speaker 10 (34:06):
So I want to pay attention to that reporter.
You notice how he was focusingmore on oh, basically, oh, y'all
gonna be talking about racismbecause it's a shift more
rightward.
Why, when you have a shift tothe right, people got to stop
talking about the human rights.
Because talking about racism,you're talking about human
rights, human rights, you'retalking about the civil rights,
we're talking about our economicfreedom, we're talking about

(34:26):
black empowerment.
That's never going to change.
It don't matter if it's a leftshift, right shift, center shift
, it don't matter what it is.
We we have to have to have to,as FBAs, to continue to fight
for our community, because whoelse is going to fight for
nobody, nobody's going to fightfor us.
Number two what makes themnervous is black people getting

(34:47):
out of the default setting.
We talk about this defaultsetting.
It's like a computer right Onevery computer there's a default
setting and sometimes defaultsetting is not the best setting.
So you go in and sometimes youchange the settings to make some
things run better and moreefficient.
But if you keep it at defaultsetting, your computer may not
even operate at its potential.

(35:07):
So us being at default settingin America, voting Democrats and
doing what we're doing right.
It's keeping us at the bottom,it's keeping us oppressed, it's
keeping us not being able toprosper as we should as black
Americans.
So it would be better for ourcommunity to get out of the
default setting.
The sister said that we're not amonolith.
That's true, we're not all thesame and that's okay that we're

(35:29):
not all the same.
But we should be a monolith onblack empowerment.
We should be a monolith on, youknow, supporting our children,
you know, and helping them getto the future where they need to
be.
We should be a monolith onsupporting education.
We should be a monolith on, youknow, definitely fighting

(35:51):
against anti-black racism, nomatter where it comes at.
It's a lot of things.

Speaker 1 (35:54):
We have to be a monolith on the code, especially
now.
I agree with brother on a lotof what he was saying, but we
have to be a monolith on thecode.
No matter what religion or whatwe believe in or what we don't
believe in, or what group wewith, what organization we with,
where we work at, where we goto school at, we have to be on

(36:17):
code.
That's where we, the themonolith, comes in.
That is, with the code.
Because once we have that, we,we are unstoppable.
We are unstoppable and youcan't tell me we're not because,
um, look at this election.
It only took 10 million of usto shake the table and cause a
major, major upset.

(36:38):
It just took 10 million of usfamily, just 10 million, right,
and these people, they, they'restill crying, they're still
trying to put out thesewildfires and stuff and
everything like that.
And it didn't have to be likethat.
What we we've been telling youfor for for years now, what we

(37:01):
want.
We want reparations.
We want what you owe us, right,the reparations.
Special field order 15, right,we want a crime bill, anti-black
crime bill.
That's what we want.
We've been telling you this.
You didn't want to hear nothing.
You paid for it.
With the election you crashedout on on the reparations

(37:25):
commission down in californiaand those things were very every
all of those things contributedto that big election loss that
y'all had.
But but yes, family, speakingof that, speaking of that, come
to find out some.
I didn't report on this thelast couple of weeks, but this
came out a couple of weeks agoabout the Kamala Harris campaign

(37:48):
staffers man, man, man, a lotlet's.
Let's hear a little bit from mybrother, professor Black Truth,
on this.

Speaker 11 (37:56):
Suckups in the left corner of the white media still
struggle to try to comprehendhow Trump could have won the
election so overwhelmingly.
They've actually, some of them,begun to do what they should
have done from the beginning.
Be honest with themselves abouthow Kamala was dodging black
voters.
Look, family.
There's not going to come aheadline that says black voters
are the only ones who decide theelections.

(38:17):
All other demographics areeither too small to matter or
too many of them are in the tankfor the Republicans to have a
cohesive whole.
They're not going to actuallysay that.
But understand, under whitesupremacy, the white media acts
as not just a propagandabullhorn, but also as a means of
internal communication to whitesupremacists to alert them to
things that they may be missing.
That's the function that itactually serves.

(38:38):
Externally, their message issupposed to be brainwashing the
masses through the relentlessuse of propaganda narratives,
but internally, the whitesupremacists are informing one
another and telling each otherthings that they probably are
not paying attention to, butshould be.
That's the reason why the NewYork Times the paper of record
did a bit of accidentaljournalism last week when they

(38:59):
looked at how the Harriscampaign's failure to reach
black voters in Philadelphia wasan example of the campaign's
national failure.
A former Harris campaignorganizer, amelia Purnell, told
the New York Times they hadn'ttalked to anybody.
It was like, hey, nobody hascome to our neighborhood, the
campaign doesn't care about us.
Purnell, alongside other Harriscampaign volunteers, believed

(39:22):
that the campaign leadership wasignoring black voters and
instead focusing their effortson white suburban voters.
Now that was coming for the NewYork Times, mind you, exactly
what the black media has beentelling you all along.
So here they are bringing upthe rear as usual, the white
media.
A month after the election.
They're just now publishing apiece that dares to say what

(39:42):
we've been telling you all along.
The Harris campaign's failureis because their entire strategy
was to try to appeal to whitesuburban women.
When they say suburban, that'swhat they actually mean.
The white media alreadyadmitted that Trump's message
was already resonating withwhite male voters in particular,
and Harris's entire campaignwas about abortion.
That's supposed to be matteringto white women, especially

(40:04):
college-educated white women,which is what you're going to be
finding out there in thesuburbs.
So that's what they mean.
They use these code words, butthe black media already
deciphered it for you and toldyou about it long before the
white media decided to put theirown little sanitized spin on it
.
For several years now, the blackmedia has been telling you
about how the Democrats havebeen pivoting to try to find a
way to put together some newvoter coalition, one that would

(40:27):
not be dependent or, as theDemocrats see it, vulnerable to
black voters' demands.
So they've been trying toappeal to immigrants, they've
been trying to appeal to whitewomen, they've been trying to
appeal to the LGBT community,anyone and everyone at all, and,
as Rahm Emanuel said when hegave away the game, biden
Republicans.
He called them, in other words,all this Bill Clinton stuff

(40:48):
been going on since at least the90s of Democrats trying to
figure out how do we appeal tothese right of center voters,
white voters, who may be fiscalconservatives but who are
socially liberal.
And that's the button that theDemocrats have been trying to
push ever since.
This was their top priority,because the overarching goal of
the Democrats was making surethat Black political demands

(41:08):
never become national policy.
They ran away from the basebecause they saw that, in more
and more places that they wentto, black voters were talking
about reparations and Blackvoters were talking about
tangibles, specifically for us,their pathetic attempts to
pretend to have a black maleagenda didn't fool anyone.
The same way that four yearsago, when you had Mike O'Malley
or Martin O'Malley whoever thatclown is out there in Baltimore,

(41:31):
he was sitting there claimingthat all lives matter.
We hear you when you say blacklives matter, all lives matter.
Even their own audience wasn'tfooled.
Even their own audience calledhim out on it.
So the Democrats have beendoing this for a long time now,
trying to see if they could BStheir way past the voters,
pretending to acknowledge whatyou say and then, in the very

(41:51):
next breath, dismissing it.
The New York Times is confirmingthat, as Harris and the
Democrats saw it, the enemy wasnot Donald Trump.
It was the political demands ofblack voters.
That was the real enemy thatthey had to defeat.
They decided that they wouldrather see Trump back in the
White House than to do what theparty's base told them to do.
And that's why, once again,we're seeing the Democrats and

(42:12):
those in the so-called leftistwhite media who have been
banging the drum to once againflood the zone with a talking
point that the party's too woke.
The Democrats lost becausethey're too woke.
It's those woke read blackpeople who are talking all.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
And family.
They're going to keep losing.
They're going to keep losing.
I wanted to stop it right therebecause I don't want to step on
all the brother, professorBlack true stuff that was from
him and I listened to himreligiously, religiously, I
listened to him and I advise youto do the same.
I listen to him and I adviseyou to do the same.
If you know, when you have tohave an acquired mind for guys

(42:46):
like Professor Black Truth andJason Black and Tyreek, he comes
across because Tyreek is ableto.
His style is he mixes it upwith the humor but he'd be
kicking in the history and whatneeds to be done.
These brothers are the topbrothers, along with cats like

(43:09):
Phillip Scott.
But Professor Black Truth andJason at the Black Authority,
those are, those are and thosetake an acquired mind.
To listen to those guys dailyand very attentively, you're not
going to be entertained.
If you're looking to have agood time or looking to, you

(43:30):
know, just be entertained.
That's not their function.
Now, jason, he comes off alittle bit and he'll give you a
little chuckle every now andthen, but he's mostly business.
Very thorough, brother, verythorough.
So is Professor Black Truth and, like I said, those are quiet

(43:52):
minds.
Some people listen to me and Iplay news clips and I do a
little music, so that breaks theice a little bit.
But I'm dead serious about whatI'll be doing up here.
I'm dead serious about it andit's not a game.
It's not a game family, butyeah so.
So that's what's been happening.

(44:13):
Those, those campaign staffers,those children started telling
after everything was overbecause the money is dried up
now there's no more money.
They probably made those kidssome promises that they're not
going to keep about theircareers in the political arena.
And some of those staffers saidthat some of the headquarters

(44:38):
where they were campaigning outof they didn't have no food,
they didn't have water, theydidn't even have copy machines.
They said but you spendingmoney on first class flights to
go do these interviews with theRoland Martins and different
people and Al Sharpton and thoseguys they just know well, hey,

(45:03):
more power to them, more powerto them.
You rather do that and burnyour crashed and burned and
you're still burning because,like I said, you're still
putting out these wildfires.
You rather had done that than togive us some of the things we
wanted.
You wouldn't even try to meetus halfway.
And then, right after theelection, you heard a lot of

(45:26):
black women.
Oh, they so angry at whitewomen and white women and vote
for Kamala.
What made y'all think let'stalk about this?
Just for a quick second?
I'm going to get off of it.
What made y'all think let'stalk about this?
Just for a quick second?
I'm going to get off of it.
What made y'all think that theywere going to actually back

(45:48):
that woman?
They didn't even back HillaryClinton, and she's a white woman
.
See family.
We got to get off.
We got to really get ittogether, man.
We got to get this together.
Black woman is the only onejumping up, man.
I like I said thanksgiving Iwas down there talking to my
cousins, my girl cousin, andsomeone was so mad and then one

(46:11):
of them told me she almost criedwhen camilla lost, and I'm
saying, like why?
yeah, because we thought, no,you y'all, the only ones that
are quick to jump up, not all,not all of you, but the ones who
are hearing this and know thatthey're guilty of this.

(46:32):
You know who you are.
And it's not all black women,because we absolutely love y'all
, even though y'all are a painin the neck and I and, and it's
like that remember that songjay-z had with uh when they did
the uh, both, the both, both thebest world tours.
You just want to crack up,right, y'all?
Get us like that sometime, butwe love y'all.

(46:53):
We absolutely love you, blackwoman, we love you.
I think I'm speaking for forthe majority of the brothers.
We absolutely love y'all, buty'all the only ones will jump up
, just constantly jump up in ourface and and uh, show
resistance and and tell us howmuch you don't need us I don't
need no man telling me what todo.

(47:17):
Y'all, the only one, the whitewomen, women, they not going to
go against the man.
Y'all got to understand that.
They come at y'all with allthis women, lib and sister girl.
Yeah, girl, it's time for womento take charge.
All this feminism and stuff,and that's your thing.

(47:37):
That's your thing.
But understand them.
White women is not going to goagainst the grain, she's not
going to go against her man,unlike you who will stick your
chest out in a minute and beaton your chest like you, queen
Kong Right, you'll do that in aNew York minute.

(47:59):
You'll jump out there quick totell us man, I don't need you, I
got my own money, I got abusiness, I got this, I got that
.
That's why I used to listen tothe brother.
You know, may he rest in power.
Kevin Samuels, I didn't agreewith everything he said.
A lot of things were very harsh, but it was reality.

(48:20):
It was reality.
We don't care about how muchmoney you got, how much your
highfalutin career is and howindependent you are.
That's not appealing to a blackman.
We, our natural inclination isto maintain and protect the
woman.
That's our natural inclination.

(48:42):
And when you making all thismoney.
You got a career and ain'tnobody knocking that.
But when you letting us know wecan't do nothing for you,
that's not appealing to us.
Some of the finest women outhere right now beautiful,
beautiful, successful women,single can't get a man.
Lisa Rae, ray, vivica Fox finewomen right, successful in they

(49:07):
60s damn near.
I think Vivica Fox is in her60s.
Lisa Ray, if she ain't 60,she's pushing it.
Beautiful women, excuse theplane going by, y'all, excuse
that plane going by.
I got the windows open.
It was just too hot in here.
I had.
I got the windows open.
It was just too hot in here.
I had to keep keep the windowsopen.
But, yeah, family, yeah,beautiful women single because

(49:28):
they ain't, because they ain't,no man can keep up with them.
You know, keep, keep, rightgoing.
You're gonna be the next thingyou look around you'll be 70, 75
.
You have a little cattle, alittle teacup, yorkie or
something in the bed with youand, uh, some, some dudes.
If you fun still, if you stillkind of good looking, you got
some dude to come on and cleanyour pipes every now and then.

(49:50):
But that's it and I hate to putit that way, but you know we
got to stop this family.
We got to get it together,y'all got to get together, we,
we, because we need you, blackwoman, we need you and you know
you need us.
So let's stop all of thisgender wars and all of this
other foolishness and and figureout a way, man, to be there for

(50:12):
each other and get back to toto family and family nucleus and
things like that.
That's what I would like to see.
But, yeah, okay, all right.
So, uh, moving, moving along,moving along, moving along real
quick.
I want to just uh mention alittle something about the those

(50:32):
drones, about the drones.
Let me see can I pull it up.
Let me see, let me see can Ipull it up here, because I had
this story.
Just give me a second, give mea second, let me see.
Let me see Can I get it.
Let me see Can I get it back,because they were talking about

(50:54):
this on what's his name, and Ithought it was interesting
because he had a person who's Iwas listening to PBD the other
day.
He had a person up on his thingthat actually works with drones
and stuff like that.
He's an expert on it and Ithought it was very interesting
what he was talking about.
Let me see, can I find it?

(51:14):
Hold on, okay, let's see, canwe get it in?
Yeah, here it is.
Here it is.
Hold on, family, let's see.
Let this play out, and then wewould be better to do it at
night, let me just rewind itback a little bit.

Speaker 4 (51:47):
And you are measuring parts per million, right.
So that's what I was missing.

Speaker 3 (51:53):
Did you say a couple warheads from Ukraine?

Speaker 4 (51:59):
Warheads were missing , and so everybody tends to get
this wrong.
I love your show.
This is fantastic, so thank you.

Speaker 3 (52:06):
Anytime.
Well, listen when Joe tweetsout your video and he says this
is the realest guy.
This is the first thing that Isee that I actually believe.
And then, all of a sudden,hundreds of millions of views.
Everybody's watching youranswer.
If you don't mind, maybe takein a minute for somebody
audience hasn't seen.
Give your you know idea of whatyou said in the video and maybe

(52:26):
we'll have some follow-upquestions.

Speaker 4 (52:28):
Well, well, thank you .
Uh, you know, I I stand byeverything that I say or that I
had said on that video.
You know, I was just doing themath.
You know, I've sat in my officeand I've I've been monitoring
this whole drone issue and I'veheard some amazing theories on
the this drone phenomenon, andthen I'm hearing our elected

(52:50):
officials saying that that thisis Iran coming from a mothership
, coming out of the ocean, thisis Chinese operatives flying
Chinese drones, and I justthought, oh my God, like if our
foreign policy isn't screwed upenough right now, the last thing
we need to do is go pissing offyou know, two of our largest

(53:11):
adversaries.
So I just thought, why don't Ijust do a technical breakdown of
how drones operate, so peoplein the world could just
understand a little bit moreabout how drones operate, so
they can start to make their ownassessment and not take my word
for it as to what is out there,but really just do your own

(53:33):
assessment on on the drones withthe knowledge that I have given
you right.
So again, my belief, and Ican't get too deep into the
details, but what I said aboutthem, potentially, you know,
looking for some type of, youknow radioactive material or gas

(53:55):
leak or something along thoselines.
I stand by that.
I stand by that firmly.

Speaker 3 (54:00):
How many did you say were missing?
Did you say a couple warheadsfrom Ukraine?
Warheads were missing.

Speaker 4 (54:10):
And so everybody tends to get this wrong based on
what I said and I just emailedyou guys some.
I emailed your producer, tony,some documents that shows the
claims that I'm saying.
But back in the 80s, whenReagan was dismantling the

(54:30):
nuclear arms program, there were132 nuclear warheads that came
up missing.
They have since recoveredseveral of them.
There are a few out there andeveryone that knows me I have a
large footprint around the world, I have a very huge network and
I do have a small politicalfootprint, meaning I do

(54:54):
communicate with some electedofficials and I don't want to
overplay that.
But this gentleman that I wasreferring to in the video it has
nothing to do with a shippingcontainer with medical supplies,
right, absolutely not.
That's not.
That's two totally separatedeals.
But this gentleman was in thevery same room with that

(55:19):
particular warhead and I can'tgive out any more details.
The very same room with thatparticular warhead and I can't
give out any more details.
But he saw it, it was there, itwas right in front of him,
right.
So he came back and he wastrying to raise awareness to the
United States and he reallydidn't get any response from our
elected officials and this hasbeen a multi-year investigation.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
What is the level of credibility of this individual?
We don't need names, oh.
So, by the way, is thissomebody we would know or we
wouldn't know?
No, okay, but this is somebodythat the people that are in that
space have a very high level ofrespect for, that when he says
something, they listen.

Speaker 4 (55:56):
He communicates with leaders in Europe.
He communicates with leaders inEurope.
He communicates with leaders inEurope.
Got it?
And you don't communicate withleaders in Europe if you're not
credible.

Speaker 3 (56:07):
And he shared with you that he saw what it was.
So are you speculating thatthey're looking for something
that may be out there in thegreater Jersey and New York area
?

Speaker 4 (56:16):
Well, I will answer that question very directly.
But this gentleman came back tome and he's like look, I know
you have a large network and Iknow you have some contacts of
elected officials.
You know, can you help me raiseawareness?
And I said, sure, I made somephone calls and I didn't.
I didn't get anywhere either,right?
So his, his concern was thatthat was coming over here to the

(56:41):
United States.
Right, concern was that thatwas coming over here to the
United States, right?
So when I see these dronesflying at night, you know, as I
had stated in the video, there'sreally no reason for a drone to
be flying at night, because youcan't see anything with a
standard camera.
Right Now, we do have greatthermal optics and you can see
very well at night, but yourresolution just isn't going to

(57:02):
be the same.

Speaker 1 (57:03):
So if you're going to try, yeah, I wanted to stop it
right there, family, but justwanted to give you an idea what,
what the talk has been going onwith these, um, with these
drones or whatever, over newjersey, new york, connecticut
area, the tri-state area, bedminister, in different places,
and some say even in the stateof california.

(57:25):
They've been seeing thesedrones and it's been given the
public, you know, spooking a lotof the public, and uh, we
figured we we'd come up here andaddress it a little bit as much
as we can.
And that guy I didn't get hisname and everything, but he's a
drone expert and he's highlyconnected to the government at

(57:46):
some intervals.
But yeah, so, but yeah, goinginto that family, family going
into that.
The other news is, um, you know, they letting a lot of these
guys that have been in prisonfor decades, they, they're
getting out.
Now they're getting out one ofthem.
Well, you know they let big mechild.
Um, walter johnson is home, whowe call who's better known as

(58:08):
tut.
He's home home and differentguys.
They let Rafe Edmonds out andfamily.
He passed away Rafe Edmonds.
Let's see Can we get a littlestory from that.
Hold on, let's see Can we pullin that story.
The screen went dark on me.
Hold on, Give me a second.
Give me one tick of a secondand we're going to go into it.

Speaker 8 (58:29):
Hold on the death of infamous DC cocaine kingpin,
rafe Edmond.
He died at the age of 60 monthsafter he was released from
prison.

Speaker 6 (58:36):
Edmond's drunk operation profited hundreds of
millions of dollars at theheight of the crack epidemic
back in the 1980s.
Fox 5's Bob Barnard is live inNorthwest tonight with more Bob.

Speaker 12 (58:49):
There are no confirmed details about his
death, but numerous reportsindicate Rafal Edmund died
suddenly of a heart attack atthe halfway house where he was
living in Miami.
I'm back, Bethany and Ellen.
This is the most recent andonly video of Rafal Edmund we've
seen since his release from afederal prison last summer,

(59:10):
captured on camera at an airportjust after his release and
shared on social media.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
My first thought was man, I hope he wasn't
assassinated, but as it turnsout, he apparently died a
natural death, and anybody who'sbeen in prison long enough
eating prison food it doesn'ttake much to imagine how that
can happen.

Speaker 12 (59:32):
Billy Murphy is one of the attorneys who represented
rafael edmund over the years.
Here was murphy outside dc'sfederal courthouse in september
1990, the day edmund wassentenced to life in prison.

Speaker 2 (59:44):
This kid was a genius .
Uh, there was no question aboutit.
I sat with him every day duringa very long trial.
What would have happened to himhad he, instead of having two
parents who trained him to be adrug dealer From the earliest of
ages, I might tell you if hehad had two parents who were

(01:00:06):
successful business people orbusiness executives who trained
him in the right direction.

Speaker 12 (01:00:15):
Raefel Edmond spent 35 years in prison, arrested at
age 24, and convicted of runninga multi-million dollar criminal
conspiracy dealing crackcocaine on the streets of DC,
leading to multiple murders.
As well Then US Attorney JayStevens.
I think Raefel Edmond has beenheld accountable for the human

(01:00:38):
destruction and tragedy that hehas brought to this city and to
the lives of thousands of youngpeople who live in this
community.
But Raefel Edmond wouldcontinue running his enterprise
from inside prison, laterbecoming an informant, leading
to the arrests of nearly a dozenof his former cohorts.

Speaker 8 (01:00:54):
I don't think I'm going to spend the rest of my
life in prison.
I think I'm going to go homeone day soon.

Speaker 7 (01:00:58):
You think your appeal will be successful.

Speaker 12 (01:01:01):
Yes, I hope and pray that it will.
Turns out, his prayers wereanswered.
Despite being sentenced to lifein prison, edmund was released
into the community last summer,his sudden death coming just
five months later and there's noword on any services.
Rafe Edmund is survived by hismother, who served time in

(01:01:22):
prison as part of thatconspiracy, and at least one
sister, angie.

Speaker 1 (01:01:29):
Yeah, family, that was, um, that one threw me for a
loop.
Man, uh, ray for edmunds.
Uh, hold on, I'm sorry aboutthat.
Yeah, that, that that threw mefor a loop yeah but yeah, these,

But you know he just got out,you know, not too long ago, and
you know you don't want a crowd,you know, because everybody's
at him for his story.
You know, if I get it, if I'mable to get him up here, it
wouldn't be about all that, thatstreet stick up stuff and all
that stuff he was doing.

(01:02:14):
It wouldn't be about that,because he's into something
totally different now.
He's into into community andhis people now.
So, and that's what we about uphere.
So I'm going to try to get himup here.
I was supposed to have Ebronlast summer.
Me and Ebron talk for about twohours one day on the phone.
Last summer, me and Ebrontalked for about two hours one
day on the phone and he wassupposed to come up here and do

(01:02:36):

But before I go, before I go,guess who's at it again running
his big fat mouth.
Again, none other than Flat Joe.
Yeah, he's been talking.
He's been chirping and bumpinghis gums again about us.

(01:03:41):

Okay, hold on, let me see Can Iget it where he was talking his
crap about us Because DeJuan Bgave him the business.

(01:04:03):
Now this dude was on Math Hoffatalking this stuff.
Right, let's see Can I get it.
Hold on.

Speaker 9 (01:04:12):
My God, the world changed on me.
Nigga, I'm like yo.

Speaker 1 (01:04:17):
You know what, where you been.
Let's get into that, because Ithink people outside of New York
it's hard for them tounderstand you know, puerto
Ricans, dominicans, trinidadians, jamaicans, guyanese.

Speaker 9 (01:04:33):
First of all, let's start by this.
Let's start by this Around eachother.
Let's start by this theserumors were made by radical
black racists.
Let's just say that.
Okay, it's a group of theseguys that don't want to hear
Jamaican, don't want to hearGuyanese, don't want to hear,

(01:04:56):
they don't want to hear a blackguy.
That ain't down with them,right, right.
So their job is to criticizeanybody who don't look like them
, who ain't black, american.
Who are these guys?
You want me to say a name.
We're going to give him toomuch clout the FBA, foundational
Black Authority.
Whoever the fuck these brokeniggas is, I'm just keeping it a

(01:05:20):
buck.
And their shit is to attackeverybody on Twitter.
You see this nigga who run themLike you know your leader.
Oh man, you got to be fuckingkidding me, man.
And so they trying to changethe narrative.

Speaker 7 (01:05:32):
They're not from New.

Speaker 9 (01:05:33):
York, right, so they telling a whole nother story.
This was whoopity-doop-wop Yobro.
Far as I know, we're at YankeeStadium right now and it's
hip-hop's 50th birthday and theguy who invented it, grandmaster
Flash.
My brother carried his crates,grandmaster Flash, my brother

(01:05:54):
carried his crates.
My babysitters made up the.
Let me hear you say ho.
It's two girls, twins, used tobabysit me.
They made up.
Let me hear you say ho.
So they have a big problem.
These guys right.
So they're against anybody whoain't with them.
So this ain't a popular message.
This ain't what everybody'ssaying.

(01:06:16):
We might be giving them toomuch light right.

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
Here is what I'm trying nah, that's where you're
wrong at, fat joe.
That's where you're wrong at wealready got the clout man.
We don't need you for clout bro, we don't need you.
First of all, let me correct afew couple of things.
First of all, there's no leaderto FBA.
Fba is a lineage, meaningfoundational black Americans,
not foundational black authority.

(01:06:38):
Foundational black Americansthat's what we designated the
name for ourselves.
Now, when it comes to paperwork, we are freedmen.
When it comes to status andpaperwork, we're freedmen, but
other than that, it's FBA.
Some people want to say ADAReight hours, and that's fine too
.
The thing is, you talking aboutthis come from broken broke

(01:06:59):
niggas right, this was his wordsbroke niggas.
That music, hip hop music camefrom, uh, youth gangs, right,
youth, children, poor in theghetto, in the broke ghetto.
So the music that you made aliving off of and that you were
able to make good and take careof your family came from these

(01:07:24):
broke niggas you talking about,right?
Let me show you now, becausesome people say yo, this is why
we so divided, because we allthe same and all how, how, how.
Because if that was the case,they wouldn't have a problem.
See, it was.
I was listening to ClarissaShields, the boxer, the other
day and she did an interviewwith Andre Andre Ward.

(01:07:48):
He's an he's an ex-champion,andre Ward.
She did an interview with himand it came to a point she was
saying she, she started gettingemotional and saying how she's.
She's at the top but she's verylonely, and you know.
He asked her the question.
He said well, you know you gotyour family, you know how they
dealing with it.
And she said that's where theproblem is is.

(01:08:09):
She said her siblings, she tookcare of her mom.
She brought her mom a house.
She brought her mom a car.
She brought every one of hersisters, her siblings, her
brothers and sisters, each onein them a car.
She brought her father a car,helps him with his bills.
One of her sisters she um, herthree kids are living with her
and she goes to parents,teachers, conferences and all

(01:08:33):
these things.
And she said the more she do,the more not just her family,
her close friends to hate her.
I'm going to draw the parallelreal fast.
I'm a.
Draw the parallel this she saysthe more that she does, the
more that they hate her.
Show her that they hate her.
Says the more that she does,the more that they hate her,

(01:08:55):
show her that they hate her.
And she tried her best to takecare of people and that that
were close to her and she hasbest friends that she never
thought she would be without andall of a sudden she's.
She's there by herself becausethey're not around, and she
broke it down so good and soprofoundly.
She said no matter what yougive them, they don't want what
you give them, they want whatyou got.

(01:09:17):
And it's the same thing withthese other ethnic groups and
these other people.
This music came from us.
This hip-hop genre it came fromfoundational black american
youth in the ghetto.
But it wasn't just relegated tothe bronx, because the root of

(01:09:40):
it come out of the south.
Most of those, those guys whenyou seen the micro microphone
check documentary, meli, mel,all of those guys shy rock, all
of those mcs and djs and stuff,king mario and all of them
hollywood, these people,families came from the south.
They didn't come from theislands, they didn't come from
poterrico or any other of those,those on latin places, they

(01:10:05):
came from the south.
So and we even said you know,like, like, they was around us
in the early parts.
They were around us.
They didn't help us create it.
But they were around, they werewatching what we were doing.
They participated later on.
That's not good enough that wegive them the props like that,
because they don't want whatwe're giving them.

(01:10:25):
They want what we got.
You understand that.
They want what we got.
And that's where the hate, envyand jealousy comes in, that.
That's where you hear fat joesaying what he said.
He called the people that madeup the genre, that created the
genre, created this thing, brokethese broke niggas, these fba

(01:10:46):
broke niggas.
Well, you was able to take careof your and your family off
this culture that came frombroke niggas.
Right, man, man.
But see, they can't accept it.
They've been that argument.
They come with about the 50-50and it was this one, it was that

(01:11:10):
one, it came from the Caribbeanand it came from over here and
it came from over there.
Well, that done been pretty.
Beat to the dust.
We done.
Beat all the dust out of thatmat.
We done.
Beat the dust out of that andthat's done with.
He called Lord Jamal a nut, acrazy person or whatever.

(01:11:33):
He said derogatory,derogatively towards lord jamal.
But lord jamal had to put achallenge to y'all, I remember
back in the early part of thesummer, me and faze was on the
phone.
He talked about it, we he putit to fat joe buster rhymes on
anybody else who wanted to smoke.
He put the challenge out thereand gave y'all a weak note.

(01:11:55):
None of them responded and herehe goes, he bumping his gums
again.
But, family, it's been great.
Talking to y'all it's beengreat and we got to pack it up
and we hate to do it, but we gotto go.
We got to go, we got to go.
And departing from you is nevera fun thing, but it's fun

(01:12:19):
knowing that you're going tocome back and we're going to be
able to kick it again.
Until then, respect life, lovejustice, cherish freedom and
treasure the peace.
Y'all, go in peace.
Go in peace and treasure thepeace.
Y'all go in peace.
Go in peace and keep the peace.
