 I think number one, there would be an increased police presence in our communities. I think judges would distribute harsher sentences. I think there would be consequences, real tangible consequences. The reason why they don't do that to the Chinese community, to the Indian community, is because unlike us, they have a backing. Alright, let me do this because I think it makes it easier for people who are watching to kind of understand. It's like Monopoly. This is the best way, this is how I see it. It's like Monopoly and if you've played Monopoly growing up, you know what happens? After a while, you play the game long enough, people have bought up all the property. Then you've got a couple of people who start putting houses down real early. They've got the green houses up already. Then after that, the red houses are up. Next thing you know, the whole board is full of it. It's a struggle getting across to collect the $200 because you've been landing on people's property paying out. What happened? The board has already been set. Black people helped build the board but never had a chance to own anything in the process. So we've helped everybody else create wealth. We came to the game so late. By the time they let us in, they were like, you can take these leftovers, things that don't really have much. We felt what ended up happening was black Americans are doing a great job. We ended up having our own bank, Freedmen's Bank. We started doing HBCUs. So we started building up our own stuff in our cities and I think the people were like, hold on. We gave them nothing. We promised them land and then who was it? Johnson took it back. How are they still thriving? How are they doing so well? We were living within our own groups. We're producing within our own groups. We're educating our own. And then, you know, we integrated. Which I'm okay with. The problem is we lost a lot of that pride. We thought the fight was over because the hearts of black people are so loving, right? We're like, oh, you know, kumbaya. We're all one, right? As it should be. But unfortunately, there are people who don't have the same heart as everybody else in this country, white, black, Hispanic, and Asian. Unfortunately, there's some people in this country that still want to pillage off of the hard work of others who still want to create division right in this country. There's still people who don't want us all to be looked at or feel like we are Americans and we're all one. There are people who want that for their own selfish reasons. I don't know who they are. I can't call them names. I don't know. But the reality is there are a lot of people, white, black, and everything, who want us to be together, who want unity and peace. People want that. And there's other people who are fighting against that. What is the reality? The reality is that black people do have to take a step back. We do have to pull our money out. We do have to pull our resources out. Honestly and respectfully and tell the nation, hey, you guys, we got to get some things in order. You know, this isn't no offense. We mean no disrespect, but our community needs to rebuild some things and they will be happy to come back and then share and compete and give our time and our talent after we fix these things on our own and for ourselves. We need time to regroup. Hypothetically in that, in a modern context, if we did that, what do you think would happen? What do you think the response would be? The response will be positive on the outside, but negative on the inside. Because again, we spend $1.6 trillion. Our expenses, which is a lot, is someone else's stream of income, right? This is the reality. What did Jim Jones say just the other day? He's parading around in Gucci, talking about how he's ready to spend $26,000 on Gucci paraphernalia, right? This is him. We're our own clothing lines. We're our own luxury brands that we can spend $26,000 on. Where are they? Why do we build everybody up as if we're still slaves? We're still building and creating things for everybody else except for our own, right? We're still doing the same things we did 400 years ago. It just looks different, right? And so again, what did Bob Marley say? He said, emancipate yourself from mental slavery. This is the key. What did Marcus Garvey say? He said, we were great before we can be great again. The problem is we forget these things. We don't realize it, right? We are investing so much time, so much energy in making everybody else better. This is why we can spend $1.6 trillion but only own 1% of the wealth, right? We have people coming to our communities, which I love them. I love everybody. Liquor stores, beauty supply stores. What's the other one? The laundry mats. Gas stations. Gas stations, right? Wing shops. You know how that goes. You know, Asian food, you know, all these things coming to our communities, which is cool. I don't have, there's no issue with that. I have an issue with that. Well, the only issue is that we don't have our own. It's not about, you know, competition is good. It's healthy. This is capitalism. So I don't discourage it. My issue is if I went to a Chinese neighborhood and I tried to open a soul food restaurant, they would shut me down. Well, okay. Let's talk about that then. Do they have a right to do that? It's not about, it's just about power. Thank you. It's just about power, literally. It's always, but again, but they understand that. They understand if I give you an inch and you end up taking a mile, right? It's the same thing in other countries when you let foreign investors come in and buy up your land, right? And start building a property in your country, right? You gave up that ground. So other communities understand that. We allow people, we give up all of our resources for free. And that is exactly why I'm a pan-Africanist because when, if, we were to redo the Montgomery bus boycott, which I think was one of the most effective civil rights strategies, right? Because they hit them in the pockets, right? Not the hearts, not the head, the pockets. The pockets, man. If we were to do that again, here's what I think would happen. And I want you to respond to that after my point. I think number one, there would be an increased police presence in our communities. I think judges would distribute harsher sentences. I think there would be consequences, real tangible consequences. The reason why they don't do that to the Chinese community, to the Indian community is because unlike us, they have a backing. America needs to answer the China to India. We don't have that backing. And that's why I think if we're having this conversation without a pan-Africanist mindset, there's no point, right? So I want you to respond to, especially from being a former police officer, being behind the lines, right? Right, right. Are those assumptions, predictions maybe? Are they valid? Why, why not? It's not, I think as me looking at me from a perspective of being like an investigator, you look at all potential avenues, you look at all potential problems. Because that's how you devise tactics and strategies. So there's nothing wrong with assuming the worst or assuming the best. You have to calculate for everything. What I would say is there's power and group work, there's power and group organization. Money is power, you guys. I think at the end of the day, we forget how powerful the dollar is and how much spending power we do have. We're just spending in the wrong places. It's not that we don't have the money. It's not that we don't have the resources. This is why I don't believe in the lies of the propaganda that's given to us. They want us to believe that so that we're distracted. What happens, people don't know that we even have our own black-owned banks. People say, well, if I go to these banks, we talk about redlining, right? We talk about them not giving loans for people to get homes or businesses. That's true, right? Bank of America didn't give you that loan. Okay, fine. What about our bank? Well, what would it look like if black people pulled all their money out of all these other banks that aren't affiliated or associated with black-owned businesses? You put it in black-owned banks, right? Again, when I go in my neighborhood and I'm riding down the street, I live in a predominantly Asian community, an Hispanic community. They own blocks. They own blocks. They have banks. I can't even pronounce the name on them, right? Same thing in the Hispanic community. They own banks that are like international banks. They have their own things. We can do the same thing. They patron their own businesses, right? And so again, what is the reality? The reality is we have these resources in front of us. We choose not to use them because of the convenience and the moment. And the moment. What would it look like if black people decided to stop going to Walmart, stop investing in some of these luxury brands, right? But this is, again, ties back to what I said earlier about the power of the music industry, the entertainment industry. They're all working together in concert with one another. Because if I can promote this artist to promote this brand, you're going to spend money on this brand. Everyone else is going to do it too, right? No one is saying, hey, you guys, let's get together and have our own brand promote our own things, right? So again, we have. And I think for me, I am more of a, I can be cynical sometimes. I'm cynical because I know the value of our people. And because I know the value of our people, I don't, I don't have conversations that are based in us being weak because there's nothing weak about black people at all. And so when people say, we're being oppressed, I'm like, it's competition, grow up. This is about money. Let's talk about choice because I think that's a very fascinating thing.
