 You know what I'm saying? As opposed to Dr. Stephens' code with Chicago Police Department's revolver, put them on my mama's pregnant belly, eight and a half months, that's my American history 101. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. It's an assessment. You know what I'm saying? It's certain heat. You know, so you just can't take out certain statements or certain acts. You say, whoa, some dynamic had to happen. Michael Jackson first said, I'll make a difference if you black or white. When he called that case, it's too James. They don't really care about us. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. It's a cat called me yesterday from Cook County Jail. He running down point-by-point. You know what I'm saying? Damn. You remember all this? Yeah. The heat is on them. You know what I'm saying? So a lot of times we even struggle, I'm impacted by the dynamics that happen. My prenatal care. You know what I'm saying? As opposed to Dr. Stephens' code with Chicago Police Department's revolver, put them on my mama's pregnant belly, eight and a half months, that's my American history 101. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? So the deal is, you know what I'm saying, not to have a subjective assessment, you know what I'm saying? In revolutions, as Minister U.P. Newton said, it's not a dinner date, it's a protracted struggle. You know what I'm saying? Tug and pool. So it ain't no absolute solution. You know what I'm saying? What we at now? Because believe me, you're doing the McEvellian system. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? They'll flip the script. You know what I'm saying? They're going to make the criminalize the victims and redirect your assessment. You going into my, man, we talking about this nation, you know, to get some concessions to somebody else or to another entity that, oh, we've remade it. So it's a constant battle. It's a constant battle. Let me ask you this. When you, you just mentioned about the father, about your mother having a gun put to her stomach when you was eight months old, when she was eight months pregnant. How old were you when you kind of understood what was going on with the way that the, you know, like the officers and the way that they were, you know, that your life could be in jeopardy anytime and that they had already assassinated your father? Like, like, how old was you when you really clicked for you? I can't really say when they call it the aha moment. Yeah, yeah. And also we had to be distinguished. Steven Beagle of the Black Conscious Movement said that black people in particular must grasp the ability to distinguish intelligence from the ability to articulate. So it always was a basic understanding. Okay. You know what I'm saying? Like, you know, okay, man. Poli sent your friends. They're not coming to get no cats out of the trees. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. They're not coming from school, from writing about Chairman Fred. Really? Like people tell you. How old were you when that happened? Oh, I think I was, I think third, third or fourth grade, I think. You was writing about, writing about Chairman. Yeah, yeah. And it's always, it's like, like, like, like lots of people talk about it now, like, man, you know, man, this system says, what, you got some breaking news? And so it's certain things that was, you know, like a given to, you know what I'm saying? But the ability to articulate, to put in this correct context, you know what I'm saying? The arm of the politics, it's been a process. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? Because again, none of us are detached from the outside community. Like, I have an issue where people say, just as long as you do what you're going to do in a home, everybody's straight. We're all impacted by imperialism. You know what I'm saying? The politics of, and Field Marshal George Jackson said, capitalism not only affects the economy, but it affects the psychic of the people. You know what I'm saying? To be engaged in the conversation with other people. You know what I'm saying? I mean, Castle's saying, man, he thinks he's back in the 60s, you know what I'm saying? He's way back then. So that limits your ability to move forward with certain assessments. Yeah. And let me ask you this. Like, when did your mom explain to you about safety with the police or safety when you go into school? Did she start that? She had to start real early with you. Because it was a shadow. I've accused my mother, Cymre, who was my A1 from day one. I joke with her now. I say, you know, sometimes I think maybe you like was subjective, you know what I'm saying? Stuff like it was a given. And I said, you know, we have thought that other people didn't know who Malcolm X was, knew what the police do to you. You know what I'm saying? And deal with you, we can't be subjective. Because the reality is stuff that like as a child, like even some things you just see, like going to get ice cream. Yeah. I would have to wait when ice cream truck come down. I had to sit back and make sure it's not a good humor ice cream truck. Because good humor was used by the federal government to help frame Chairman Freya. They say he took 71 dollars for ice cream. Yeah. He came to the children. So this is conversation. And how much time did he get when he did that, when they arrested him for that? It's five years. They sentenced, the maximum to be 20, but he got out on appeal bond in August 13, 1969. And that's when they up the ante and said they had to take him out. Because he got out on appeal bond and was possibly to be taken back in late December. Okay. Because he was still fighting the case. Yeah. But I guess you can correlate it also with certain kids growing up and certain, you know what I'm saying? It was a big thing some years back in this child in the Philippines smoking cigarettes. And they were like, man, that's crazy. That baby smoking cigarettes. But it went over there and they seen all the tobacco ads. And they see all the babies doing it over here. So it's a climate that I grew up in. You know what I'm saying? Like discussions. African, you know what I'm saying? But again, I was deprived of the outside, the community. See like when Nipsey House, when he talked about when he went back to his homeland. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? When he talked about Richard, how they would call the dawn, they would shut the whole city down. The family come. You know what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? They pray. That impacts you. Yeah.
