That's that's bro. That's how I was feeling earlier, bro. I was just Sitting in here and bro just Hell angry You feel me and it's like a cycle, bro Because it's like niggas have been doing this work for a minute You feel me and this isn't the first video that we've seen you know I'm saying and this isn't the first time We've seen you know celebrities kind of try to co-op shit and speak about shit You know what I'm saying, but it's like bro. It's just still so inferior. It's all I keep it saying I'm glad we have the fucking podcast to be able to like really sit down and fucking talk about it and have the space I feel like even For a lot of people that they don't even have a space to fucking probably we about to process You feel me in real time a lot of folks don't even have the space the community the people To to process their emotions because I feel like everything that folks are feeling right now um and in regards to Sean Reed In a mod r-berry being you know murdered by some barbaric crackers I feel like any emotions that come with that are for sure justified and You know, I'm just grateful to have the words and had a space to be able to process my shit um But definitely want to start off with saying like r-p to them and you know niggas is going to put in the work Yeah, a thousand percent And niggas going to put in the work The necessary work to make sure To honor their lives bro like like them and the many others the millions of others of africans that we lost, right? Make sure niggas deaths ain't going in vain I'm glad you brought that up because I feel like the biggest way to honor somebody you feel me is to put the work in You feel me to address the system and to overthrow the system that took their lives You feel me like that's how you honor people you feel me it ain't just an instagram post It ain't just outrage when it happens and then you just go back to regular life three days later And it's hard you feel me off like I know it's hard because You know in a mist of I think about like not just dealing with the pandemic, right? But as again, you know, this isn't the first time um A black black folks have lost their lives to to barbaric and racist white folks, right? Terrorists bro should straight terrorism nigga, but you think about In the process in the midst of us like trying to fucking process our emotions and grieve Niggas that's what a lot of niggas is doing right in the midst of that You still got to go out here and try to survive you feel me? So I get why? And when it becomes kind of the norm, you know, not to not to justify it But it can be hard to like fucking even figure out what the work look like or even engage in the work You know I'm saying so sometimes you have to disengage from it to survive money I mean then they got a day sound was talking about that like I haven't been able to engage with this because it's going to trigger my PTSD to a certain level And I feel that I feel them on that a thousand percent. I mean in some ways, you know, I had some people texting me about this shit. I'm just like Yeah, like I don't you know, like I it didn't hit me yet But this morning in the last night it hit me a little bit more because I was able to I guess avoid it in some ways because I I try to craft my timeline like I have certain words muted and shit So I just don't always see all the traumatic shit that pops up on twitter, you know but And I wasn't on twitter like that yesterday either so I had saw the headline and I went And I like google so I could find the article just to get a little bit more details And then I like felt that shit stirring up in me. I'm like, all right. I just I I got a detached from that shit. Um And even that's a whole another a whole other layer right again This shit is just so layered because you trying to do what's best for you and also honor Your people, you know what I'm saying like honor their lives like I'm talking about honoring like black folks in general Right, not just the ones that was slain and like trying to build that community And and be there for the different folks that that need you to be there for them who have been hurt by these tragedies. Um, but it's it's It's always reminded me what we up against like we dealing with trauma We dealing with shit in real time and then we trying to prepare ourselves for the future to continue to fight against this white supremacist nation You know what I'm saying like Bruh, it's like niggas is trying to fight COVID-19 and niggas is catching bullets at the same fucking time niggas is losing a job violence Widowly comes from all different forms, whether it's healthcare and not being able to get to a hospital or it's being, you know, you trying to You know have some joy you feel me Mental health brother and you keep going for a jog niggas and he was executed assassinated and murdered by white supremacists You know, it's wild me and you have been running hella much lately too Like that's what I'm thinking. I'm like Anybody that like falls me on social media Mostly instagram like I've been like posting my different daily runs like you know, I'm saying I'm just like niggas yesterday morning. I started my day off with a with a two mile run And I wasn't in my neighborhood for me. I was I was somewhere else and I'm What what could that have led you feel me like just having to think about that kind of shit and it's just Bro, it's it's so tiring. I'm so exhausted my niggas like that's the most like that's all the emotions. I feel I'm angry I'm sad. I'm tired. I'm confused it's just that it's that rage bro because it's also like I think at least in my mind my bro like we in a pandemic bro like You know what I mean? Like I guess Maybe that's my own ignorance and shit. I'm not ignorant, but just like I guess False delusion hope Well, all right, we in a pandemic like all right, maybe shit won't be as sick You know what I'm saying, but there's violence from the police is still the fucking We've seen it the same shit in san liandro when you know, black man was killed shot in his back in san liandro And walmart, bro, and it's like history has shown us that White supremacy will really just go up above and beyond in any type of fucking moment Yeah, it don't matter what the conditions of the world I'm saying like you think about the white militias that were surfacing during katrina I'm saying like that shit pandemics and disasters bring out white supremacy in this fullest force, bro in this fullest force Whether it's the police or these, you know, white supremacist terrorist vigilantes former police officers right But yeah, bro, it's starting to feel I remember it's just like it says the weather is getting hotter. Like it's just more fucking death. I feel like You know, I just remind me of like that summer in 2014 When michael brown was killed, you know, like august and then you just had so many more and then that next summer in 2015 Like that was a summer where hella Hella folks was killed by opd, you know, and it's like It just feels it's feeling very similar to this type of feeling Unfortunately, you know, it's history repeating itself But you know, we're gonna dive deeper into this, of course in the in the conversation, but I think it's good That we do start With some black joy, you know before we dive into a topic that is heavy tough Shit making niggas angry, bro, you know, but I don't know you want to dive into black joy. Yeah, I was reading a tweet by ant earlier today and they were saying that um And I think Miriam might have said it on the episode that they were on with us too about you know, because I think During this kind of shit During moments like this of tragedy It's it's easy to erase the work that folks are doing because you get so caught up in like what needs to be done Our folks are like just now Being aware like in in their rays or seeing things like what's going on with the fuck things to change the change And it's like, yo, there are folks who are day in and day out on the grounds Trying to change this shit in their house is trying to change the the material conditions of black folks and try to And try to combat white supremacy, right? Um so something It was saying like remembering that you know, like that kind of statement by Miriam, um Brings them a little bit of joy because I've been eating that shit during times like this Like the shit is just so overwhelming and it's easy to get caught up again and like all this shit that's going wrong, but I'm looking at, you know, what we've been doing with pbo And you know, the breakfast program the community learning program is a different political education Um stuff that we're that we're diving into as a core team the garden, right? So it's like there's work being done to constantly get to to Consistently combat this white supremacist capitalist patriarchal state that is the united states of america, right? Like the work is being done I think it's easy to forget that when We getting pumped when it's like shit when when it's looking like progress not being made We still got you know unarmed um Black man being shot down in broad daylight um, so I guess the cause of the joy was you know, I wasn't a mister some grieving. You know, I'm saying but just being reminded um By ant through the words of mary and caba that there's work being done You know I'm saying and niggas like us is a part of that work Like there is work being done to ensure the survival and the uh preservation of Of uh black folks. Yeah I think that's just important to recognize that Especially because it's so easy to get like pessimistic around the shit But it's like brez like we recording this podcast right now in a couple hours after this shit We finna be in the field serving our community. You know what I'm saying and doing that that political work So I think yeah that shit is Important that niggas is getting more organized you feel me because it's like we have all this anger all this rage The sadness which is important and it's important to feel all that shit But how do we direct it? You know, I'm saying that's why I'm thankful You know for organizing in a lot of ways because I'm able to channel my anger my rage You know channel my love that I have for my community into these organizing efforts You feel me to where we're able to build You know solidarity in our community to really challenge and address You know this white supremacist imperial state known as fucking america Um, I think for me black joy was just when we was barbecuing chilling drinking In good food, bro. Just being able to Sit back and relax you feel me and just Even in the middle of the pandemic enjoy You feel me enjoy like ourselves, bro and just enjoy ourselves and have a good time You know, I think that's just important. Yeah, we were kind of talking about it before We started recording but just like those moments to where you kind of get the step outside of reality for a little bit Because this shit is so fucking heavy You almost forget that all the other shit is going on in some ways and you're able to just like Even just for a brief moment, you know niggas just get to be Even just get to exist Me not knowing the rules of who know until you to draw for Just being able to exist my niggas. I feel like something that Sometimes we can take for granted the ones those of us that do have um The opportunity to do so right to detach from our quote-unquote realities. Um, I think that's something we gotta Hold on to and try to make time for as much as possible The moments where you could just step outside your mind and body and just be for a little bit put your phone down Just chill, grill, listen to music, you know, be around people that you care about people that care about you Yeah So I hope y'all we missed all this year though. Yeah I lost too. Yeah, this will got me shit happens. Well, you know, I'm on I'm on xbox I Hope y'all are experiencing some joy And if you haven't you got to make that shit a priority and I know it's cliche as hell You know find time for joy find joy make time for yourself. I know that should sound cliche Self help hella black I know it's mad cliche and sometimes Sometimes niggas don't want to hear them fucking positive messages But I feel like we make so much space and our and negative shit is forced on us so much that You know, it's it's our fucking duty to make the space for joy love positivity whatever words you want to use facts thousand percent Because this world is tough as it is you feel me so it's like Especially when we talk about doing movement work like the shit we do day in and day out, bro. That's shit It's tough, bro. Like the shit we see you feel me seeing our people in these conditions I miss the fucking global pandemic. You feel me like seeing the conditions get worse, bro. That's shit You got to find that time You feel me? Yeah, just because it's the norm don't mean just because you normalize them for yourself And it's like, oh, I this is what I do. This is my experience. Don't mean that shit's still not having this effect on you Thousand percent period no matter how normal this shit is to you effects So yeah, man, y'all y'all go find some joy Episode 73 man Black. Yeah, we talked about a little bit earlier. I think we're gonna assess all this shit from a few different angles But I think the the premise of it is just you know for me what I was kind of angered by was the performative outrage by you know black wealthy Black celebrities black athletes black entertainers and i'ma call it performative just because If your actions aren't aligned with the things that you Preach on one off situations when it's a moment for it You perform in my nigga like you're not actually living by the shit that you preach, right? So And if the outrage doesn't come with a Politics either bruh when you know that a lot of these niggas have the time to read a lot of these niggas have read Right and they're very well well aware of the history. Yeah, but to stop but but decide to still you feel me just Put on you know and they might they might be angry, you know, it's not that they're not angry. Yeah I believe the anger is real but like I mean, yeah, I think the anger is very real and What are what are y'all doing with the anger besides just bringing awareness to shit and Again, I think bringing awareness to things are great, but like oh that's the least the mother fucking can do Like if you have 200 million dollars, you know fucking bank account I expect a lot more than fucking bringing awareness bruh period bruh Especially when you have the ability and the wealth and the capital behind to actually make material changes for the people You feel me for our people period You have we and I think it's on us like You know the masses to hold these motherfuckers to a higher standard because if we don't they're gonna like they Y'all if it's one thing we know about people especially people who ain't going through shit and have no incentive to do better Is that they're gonna keep doing a bare minimum if you allow it when you show that the bare minimum is getting them more and more money You feel me because that's what's happening is like it's like the outrage is a performance But that performance leads to a documentary and that documentary leads to a book deal and a bag comes attached to it all Right, that's what it really is without money at the forefront of their brains. I mean, you know, you had Beyonce the Super Bowl Dressed up as a black panther, but what has she actually done to material materially support Black communities bruh black grassroots organizations black radical organizations What is she done for the black panthers who was still locked up behind fucking prison walls right now, bruh What did she have to say about the black panthers prior or after that performance nothing Come on by niggas. That's performing bro. That's taking something and understanding. It's fucking cosplay niggas come on And we see we see this at the celebrity level, but we see it. You feel me at even like a Unquote unquote, you know, no normal person level like all right. I'm gonna go to a protest take a photo You feel me and put a hashtag and that's it Like bro, our lives are not just hashtags, bro You feel me like It's understanding Like what a company's You know aligning yourself with something You know aligning yourself with the black panthers that comes with a certain responsibility and not only responsibility That comes with a certain politic attached to it. My nigga a certain way of life Thousand percent a way of panthers where marxist lending is bruh Revolutionaries bruh talking about overthrowing the capitalist system That didn't fuck with no type of capital is whether he was black or white bruh period niggas is more than afros and fist That's what it's like a lot of these folks. They love the cultural You know Aesthetics of blackness, but they don't love blackness in its revolutionary form They don't love blackness as a person bruh They love it as a culture as an aesthetic Aesthetic is what makes the money and that's that's not even a fair to say it's not even Fair to call it a culture right because the culture is all those things that you just named It's not even the culture you you had it with just the aesthetic like they like Right in the in the access that comes with it But it's like you don't have black as beautiful without the black panther party You feel me the whole you know be proud of your afro nigga that came from the black panther party Nigga that came from the black women in the black panther party And this is like you you get people who Who pushed the theory but live a life completely contradictory to the theory my nigga that's that's that's what's getting me is like you can't embody the path is when you want to whether that's in how you dress it and or when you tweet something out or whatever And then live a life that's completely Contradictory to the to the things that they push there with like the panthers would have never had a billionaire in a shit Because you know For them, you know, the the the carters and the obamas is like, okay, we have the afro We have the the aesthetic of blackness, but behind closed doors these niggas are right wingers bruh Niggas move like whites niggah jay-z has money invested in the prison industrial complex nigga Obama dropping drone strikes. You feel me on african peoples bruh This is my thing now i'ma call a niggas thugs after freddy gray niggas Michelle obama just had a goddamn documentary just coming up bruh. She ain't sending no words You feel me about the niggas who was just got killed bruh, but she's talking about blaming black people For trump niggas. That's my trauma and she's weaponizing the word trauma Like oh i'm traumatized because niggas didn't vote for a fucking war monger named hill really clinton This is my thing bro. Fuck you in addition to all the many points you made It's important that niggas recognize this because you had to recognize not only are these people not our fucking community They are very much so our enemies my nigga Period facts. They are our enemies. They're not on the side of the people bruh just because she makes a song You feel me and you like the music doesn't mean that she's your friend bruh And they actively make the choice every day to align with the enemy my nigga He buddy buddy up with craft. You feel me? That's what it is bruh the obamas the carters nigga opera the tower parries nigga Kanye west What these niggas doing for the people bruh nothing bruh all they do is give you an aesthetic of blackness and niggas love it Bruh all obama had to do was shoot some fucking hoops And fucking dapper nigga with a handshake. He all niggas stand, right? What happened to that whole initiative with jz and nfl like niggas just forget about that What what community groups are they working with? Like did we just that was you know working with some community groups that was actually cutting black niggas dreads off Yeah, I remember so those were the community that was one of them. We don't know the other ones that they name that I'm not sure that was either the norm or it was probably worse. Yeah, definitely This is the thing but we allow people to say things and not and not live through the actions Niggas be giving them a pass bruh And then you wonder why we have the conditions that we live in bro like This shit bro and it's all connected. This is what I need people to see like the same fucking quote-unquote, you know Jay-z was supposed to be working to to to um combat police brutality with his with his niggle shit, right? We just passed the kneel nigga. What but that was that was the whole initiative Are we gonna be working with the police? Right? That was what we were gonna be working with the police We're gonna be having conversations with the police nigga. Who just fucked the police nigga Who just killed Sean rea money the police nigga. You can't conversate with devils nigga How do you appeal to the conscience of somebody who has no morality bruh you don't Period Jay-z has has has done little to nothing to combat police brutality If anything, he well, he's done something. He's invested in ankle monitors So if you can keep niggas in the house, so if I'm not gonna be killed by the police Well, so he's invested in the system. So I mean a little something But that's just a new form of incarceration Tell me Guarantee you he has money in private prisons Guarantee you he has money in the military industrial complex You don't become a billionaire and not have your hands wet in his violence in the sea of capitalism bruh Period I just it's it's this whole new black shit bruh You feel me? It's that whole new black Pharrell type black shit. You feel me or that common type shit. It's like, okay, you know, I'm past, you know My skin isn't the reason why I'm oppressed. You know, I just got to work hard type shit That shit is so violent That shit is so violent and so misleading bruh to in a country in a country that was built On the exploitation and murder Of black and indigenous folks to completely erase that history and say that's not the reason why niggas. What do you what? There are 400 years of history to say that is exactly Really said the new black dreams are realized that is not pigment pigmentation It's a mentality and it's either going to work for you or it's going to work against you And you've got to pick the side you're going to be on This nigga said that shit in 2014, bruh Michael brand was executed But this is the nigga who built this whole brand in 2014 This is a nigga who built this whole brand by working with you feel me are posing with niggas that in virginia beach as dope dealers Like that was his whole that's how he built this whole aesthetic off dope boy shit off blackness But now you say oh we a new black And then you have the um happy like what nigga? You're just happy all the time frills a joke. Fuck that. He's also the same nigga that works police out of hella money So, you know, I can't trust niggas like that. I'm not surprised that he's saying shit like this He's a he works police out of money. He is uh capitalist doing through And capitalists have no morals But like these and but like, you know, it's also these are the niggas would be, you know Who have these conversations on when this should happen These like common is always the voice of the plot like just because this nigga is like a poetic Whatever this nigga used to like slam poetry or some shit. This nigga is always pushing the forefront of political discussion The trees and the sun and the love and the black I hate fake deep niggas I hate fake deep niggas that niggas about as deep as a puddle Like he is about as deep as a puddle niggas do not be as well-rated and as versed as they present to be Bruh, it's like but it's always those niggas eat like but that's like it's it's strategic It is because it's propaganda and we have to announce, you know, that's should be our analysis, bro Is that like what they're doing is propaganda to the masses of black people? It is if you're gonna nigga like for real who motherfuckers adore reverie telling you like yo Yo, blackness is not ever gonna hold you back, right? Or you have because of you if you get shot by the police. It's because of you You have common over here saying okay We should you know extend our hand in love to white people and just forget about the past As much as we can niggas gonna ride and let's move forward now where we are now and let's help each other Nigga what common, bro? You the same nigga that made a song about asada nigga the fuck nigga asada was a fucking revolutionary, bro Because they love the revolutionary shit But when it comes time to have a revolutionary politic, bro, they don't hate it because niggas love asada, right? Bro, this is gonna make money off asada This is the exact point niggas go on and lead completely contradictory lives to the theories and politics that they push How about one minute you you dedicating some shit to asada in the next minute Come on, bro. You over here shaking hands with obama nigga who wanted her extradited nigga Again, y'all we gotta judge people by what they do now what they say and now how they perform, bro What do you do sometimes even your performative action not even an action my nigga? It's the very like and this is My my thought this came to my brain yesterday when lebron tweeted tweeted an outrage about a mod arbery, which is like I think lebron's everything they said was very very real black lebron You didn't have any of these type of words when cap was boycott and poli when cap was kneeling for police brutality If you like you had you had no backing for cap, bro Little to no backing that nigga didn't even take a knee himself in the nba The niggas was walking around with the air gardener. I can't breathe shirts All you did was bring awareness that didn't stop motherfuckers from getting lynched by the police Niggas in new york right now is still getting beat and harassed during covet 19 while the fucking pigs out there Hand out mass to white people, bro. So it's You talking about like, okay. So what do we believe in as as folks who push the policy? We believe in action, right? and we in I think You know, there's there are people all around the world, bro Who are letting their actions align with their politics who when they when they don't believe it's something They take action to to try to eradicate that problem You know I'm saying and lebron has the type of power to be like my nigga. I'm not doing the same thing Cap did I'm a cap was not even cap what even though I'm not gonna play capos I'm gonna take a knee not even I'm not gonna play. I'm still gonna play if I get the chance I'm gonna at least take a knee lebron could have been like niggas in solidarity with this nigga I'm not at the very least even take a knee, but if you want to make some action I'm not gonna play basketball nigga until this nigga has a job, bro And it's not about just being in solidarity with cappernick It's about being in solidarity with black people because cappernick's knee was much bigger than just fucking, you know himself, bro He was doing that to honor victims Of this white supremacist violence. You feel me? So like them niggas couldn't even take a knee Why can't lebron just stop playing stop playing basketball? He could if he wanted to like why not mean shit It's looking like he won't get another championship but I'm like bro like we got a I don't know if I don't know if that's extreme But I'm thinking like how could if you really wanted to make a if you really wanted to prove a point to somebody, right? Boycott nigga the least you can do and the boycott isn't even a radical action like that, bro I mean take I don't I don't you could do so much more besides just like to talk nigga And I think lebron does amazing work with this like I promise school. Um, I think he helps parents get Get um employed and shit like that but like nigga, this is a billionaire with the resources like nigga do like Yeah, if you if you say you love and care for black people you should be doing that stop fucking applauding people for doing Things they're supposed to do and in my opinion if you ask me, I think that's doing the bare minimum with all the resources He has period point blank and the thing is bro like Niggas got to be willing to go to extra mile niggas I want to do the work if you're going to be invoking the names of mong with the king and mlk every fucking chance You get in aligning yourself with as a leader of black folks as a thought leader as a spokesperson for black folks Nigga do the necessary work put in the necessary time that's required to get us free Exactly, and that's what we said in the last episode bruh it's like in body of politics if you're gonna Claim and use the words and invoke the words of Malcolm X realize that he said fucking you capitalists are blood suckers Blood sucking parasites nigga Realize that dr. Martin with the king was an anti-imperialist It spoke out against these bombings in vietnam And the war in vietnam I just hate right and that's just a basic like bruh just align yourself With that shit too But actually what is the action bruh cuz it's like that's that's the issue is that these niggas Are not donating You know the school is great, right? But nigga you can also donate to grassroots organizations Actually fighting for the people and attempting to overthrow it, right? But these niggas don't want to do that for a reason Because they are they're gonna align with themselves It's their class interest bruh all they care about is their class interest bruh Maintaining their class status bruh because they have more in line the promise we won't hurt in white supremacy my nigga Let's just call it what it is. Yeah, it's not if he was in there saying like yo This is the school that I built to come to combat white supremacist And we are training a new generation of organizers and revolutionaries that will embody the spirit of the black panther party And we are building out people's programs and revolutionary programs to address the material needs inside of our community That way we look different But anybody can get behind the school and we know we know we're helping some poor impoverished black kids And we and we know we know we know our education has always been used as an integrative tool my nigga Like we know that we know this it's a it's a straight stream line integrate black folks into this white supremacist society And if you know on the other end of that, you know or to integrate them into the black bourgeois class like It's like what niggas is doing niggas ain't really doing it with the intent to to liberate black folks to overthrow you know this imperial machine nigga Like and that's what it is bruh Because they'll align themselves with certain small aspects right the aspects that will get the bag attached to it But they won't I can already tell you right now. They got niggas wearing uniforms at that motherfucker We already know what come on some respectability politics. Shit. You already know like the thing is like, bro Let's just call a spade a spade. Let's call things what they are my nigga Like we got to call things what they are. We got to look at things for what they are It's all we have to do stop pushing yo agenda onto shit and start looking at it for what it is Yeah, people got to stop projecting a politics onto these niggas You know and back in the day you niggas like you had the panthers pulling up on niggas bruh You feel me like not nigga. This is what it is You feel me like what was uh, john brown james brown james brown His job brown that white niggas for the Mormons Oh fucking no james brown nigga I said job, bro That was wow James brown just had an out of body experience Just go out this nigga Go ahead and continue to hear the story, bro. Who is john bruh? That's something to suck him out of here. Is that nigga from the Mormons from the Mormons for real? That's disrespectful. I'm sorry james brown When the panthers pulled up on the james brown was I knew you going to perform bruh You know the story better than I do. Yeah Niggas performing at a spot in Oakland Um For like a festival that the panthers are throwing and you know like all musicians. I'm like, I'm not all right I'm here. I'm not performing. So I till I get paid though and you know, he we had to rock up on that nigga like now you're gonna get on this stage and He got his ass on stage before but I'll be in pay yet. Yeah But I think that's that's what has to happen bruh is like bruh. We can't continue to allow these people to use our community When they want to it a pick and choose when they're a part of the community But live up and you feel me. Yes not be in the community. You know I'm saying it's okay. Yeah, I'm black It's like the whole fucking I watched one episode of that fucking. What's your black as fuck? It's like Just black capital is booz wasi worrying about the most random ass problems and making up problems For themselves. Oh my god. I got stared at wrong like niggas shut up My my thing. Fuck. I had a point that I was gonna make you were saying Oh, yeah, so Yeah, I think it's important that we that we raise the bar that we challenge folks that we call people out In the ways that they're being lackadaisical with their politics and their efforts and then Also, y'all need to realize like Bro, I'm someone that's constantly being called in and trying to develop and trying to develop my politic and do better And and completely live by the things that I that I speak on here that I try to educate y'all on And like niggas who actually want to do better and do right have no problem Will be in called in had no problem with being called out my nigga and I know it's a tough pill to swallow But you got to realize that but some folks want this blackness shit for as far as it can take them It's not about liberation and we've seen it like and if we were taking the lessons From 2014 and all that has happened from 2014 to 2020 within activism We have seen niggas come to protest put up their little fists. You feel me niggas write articles about, you know Black people dying and then going and chasing book deals and going and chasing bags and speaking bags and taking You know speaking at events sponsored by wills fargo You feel me like we've seen niggas do this Right, so it's like we can't with that should happen no more period, bro These niggas have to be disowned These niggas have to be called out and if they don't want to change the behavior that they're doing We have to treat them like an enemy of our community because that's what they are period It's facts, bro, and it's just I feel like and especially with like You know, we talk about the heralded Beyonce jay-z And the bronze of the world. It's like you can't Can't critique these. I mean folks are so You saw what happened to my twitter account when I said Beyonce's name. What happened? I'm bra head. Oh, he's talking about just trolls. Yeah, just trolls It's like You can't talk about queen b without you feel me Without fucking like someone someone in the fucking beehive niggas Was like we love being exploited let her exploit us shut up and listen to her new song. I'm like, bro. What? It's just this is and then like I don't I only expect I only expect people to take this conversation serious if they actually are serious about You know liberation and protecting themselves from the violence because if you really are upset about You know Sean re and Amon Arbery you should you should know that like the same system that props LeBron and the jay-z and Beyonce's of the world up and makes them the thought leaders Black community is the same system that is shooting black men in cold blood in broad daylight Like it's the same you got a they they connect my nigga It's the same capitalism. They only have you found me They only have the ability to do what they do because of this capitalist system, bro It's like this capitalist system will choose a select few Quote-unquote good negro's to be propped up and to be used against the masses of black people and to be used as an example Like oh be like this person pick yourself up by the bootstrap You know, uh, we the new black you feel me get over your skin pigmentation You feel me just keep you know working hard and pull yourself up by your tims niggas like bruh That's what these niggas has been put in this place for they'll let a few You know black people get rich and then they'll use those people As literally like chess moves bruh it's like obama was the greatest chess move for white supremacy Because it says oh we is past this race shit. We got a black president and then this black president don't give a fuck about black people You feel me don't give a fuck about brown people. It's deporting more people than donald trump But let's go back to obama niggas fuck obama niggas fuck trump and fuck any president of this country bruh And fuck all these motherfuckers who align themselves with it because the obamas the carters The operas the diddies They all in one and the same and they're just used in different ways bruh Bruh people people who really love and care for you ain't gonna just talking your best interests They're gonna acting your best interest and that's what folks got to remember bruh. It's not just like people Who really care for you really love you are going to acting your best interest They're not just going to talk in your best interest and that's what we got to stop allowing these motherfuckers to do is just talk a good game Periods like what are you doing dog? Come on Y'all obviously see that this shit is time time is of the essence y'all y'all obviously see the the um What is it fuck? Uh Damn i'm drawing the blank But y'all like this shit is like it's urgent bruh y'all see the y'all y'all see the urgency behind the motherfuckers is dying bro Y'all see every day bruh from different From different weapons You know what I mean whether it's the healthcare system this education system You found me what do you call it like bruh somebody has the the the means In the resources to change to change your everyday life to free you From the shackles of white supremacy engines is choosing not to I don't want to do something I don't like and this is the thing we not placing all the burden on these niggas because this groups out here that are doing all the work with with A fucking the women with one percent of the resources that these folks that we just named not even one percent That's point zero zero one. Nobody's saying LeBron is supposed to be fucking. What's the nigga name? um Nat Turner Like if I say LeBron gotta be Nat Turner nigga He ain't gotta fucking go out here and do it all himself It would be great if he if he tried to you know really use his voice because he used it any other time Why is it? But that's so yeah Actually niggas are calling and demanding that he's niggas But the real reality is like they're not gonna have to do this shit by themselves It's it's black folks everywhere bruh it's Africans across the diaspora that have been working to free us bro Yeah And my thing is i'm becoming Almost less and less invested in these niggas anyways because the true power will always reside within the people bruh So we got to call these niggas out and expose them the contradictions But niggas been doing this for years bruh there ain't no changing with these niggas bruh until you feel me We forced this shit to change that's and that's a good point Yeah, i'm hoping what people take away from this conversation is not only like call be able to spot a op when you see one That's our whole motherfuckers to a higher standard But also like bruh once you recognize that they i've stopped putting all your time into and Impassioned into them people and come put it into the people that's doing the work Put that shit into yourself damn near you like What And it really is you know, we have to look at This idea of celebrity culture bruh like stan culture bruh That shit has to go and this is a product of capitalism bruh It's a product of maintaining capitalism It's a product of maintaining white supremacy celebrity culture Because they are propped up as leaders in our community without ever doing any form of leadership niggas You feel me? It's like When their dad is a ceo of a company and then the the the child gets a automatic, you know Executive position bruh just like how trump is a fucking, you know president brought his fucking son in niggas Like this is what this whole celebrity culture shit is like bruh. Yeah, like That's what it is and Celebrity culture gotta go bruh. We gotta stop stanning niggas bruh. It's like you can enjoy So be so quick to give niggas your loyalty and respect stop being used period bruh because they don't give a fuck about you They number more than a check a stream of you. That's all it is you nothing but a number and we gotta Keep that celebrity culture, bro. We gotta check that shit and move it away because that culture is being used against our people You feel me it's being used and weaponized against our people To curb radicalism To curb revolution That's what it really is So you have a diddy go up. You have all obama go up You have Lord brawn, but it's like there's no action plan with any of that Stop following niggas who ain't reading on top of that these niggas ain't doing no read any fucking history Like these niggas ain't come on man Demand more of these niggas period Come on the black vote ain't free You have to work for our black vote african. I'm african niggas You exploit africans yourself niggas. Tell me about the same niggas that bought maces masters for 20 000 and i'm sure them shits is worth Worth well over 10 million So you're expecting a niggas who has had a track record track record of exploiting his own people Africans niggas since he wants to claim african as an identity Ain't no better than the white man bruh I ain't no fucking I was almost about to say something else after that. I know I know what you want to say Hey y'all, I just wanted demand more demand more from these celebs Um, that's what I really want. You know who else had me like this one had me more so laugh it than mad But gabriel union was and I love gabriel union. We talked about her with I don't know who was on the pod We also probably talked about them on discourse. I think yeah, but just like, you know, the intentional parenting aspect That her and the way in which I've shown for this is a think is a Well for their daughter for their trans daughter. Yeah So I'll fuck with gabriel union union. So I saw him just because I don't know if it's I don't know what what what she was thinking when she said this But she was like, you know, she's talking and reference. I think that's the thing is there wasn't much thought It was just talk, bro. It wasn't based on you feel me? That's the thing why we're saying it is like base your shit and some type of theory or some type of You know analysis, you feel me or some type of shit like that. That's that's all it has to be It was it was there was definitely some cognitive dissonance that was shown in in her interview for most Certainly black entertainers black celebrities. Um, we don't really For all of the the opras and the the people who have just a lot a lot a lot a lot of money um, most of us are one or two checks away from Not having money to pay For all of our things, you know what I mean? Um, so this stoppage of work and money It is impacting marginalized Celebrities the most But essentially she was saying like, you know as a pandemic like many of us Fucking have like lost her jobs or lacks or you know have lost aspects of our income and she was like, yeah You know the black the marginalized um You know black entertainers and black actors and actresses, which you know, they they are in in you know They are but I think you know you got to be careful how you use that word because like marginalization has a certain violence That's attached to it. You know I'm saying you can't just be saying like I get I get what she's saying because you know Black actor experiences. I mean black actors are more, you know, we know this they are kept out of hollywood We we know that for a fact, right? Um But yeah, you it's not you can't be using that word that loosely Okay, yeah, I mean especially when you are somebody, you know, who has a net worth of over, you know, 40 million dollars and Dwayne Wade has a net worth of over 120 hundred 40 million dollars, right? So when you say that It's just like bro. What we're worried about. We can't buy our things. What are things? She literally said we're a few checks away from not being able to afford our things not be like when we be talking We've been talking about a few checks away. Nick. We's talking about being on the streets But niggas be like, I'm not gonna be able to afford rent. I'm not gonna be able to eat I don't have health care, right? She's saying we like she just said things like my nigga. Come on. Come on, man and like And I would understand if like you talking specifically about like Young black actors and actresses you feel me who might have one role And who aren't making you know I think the average is like $60,000 or something like that. She been in the game But it's like bro, you you you making millions of millions of dollars So it's like you could use it like to be like, okay. Yeah, like have you seen videos from their house nigga They are by far living in excess. Oh, yeah Like living in excess is not the same thing as not having your material needs met You're saying that you a few checks away from not being able to afford your things Not be able to afford the frivolous things that you have it's not the same thing as folks The millions that are applying for unemployment if you have 200 million dollars, bro You you can afford the things or maybe you can because you have that many things Maybe they actually do have that many things But again, my point is like 200 million dollars, bro a rich a rich person You know fending for the sympathy or empathy at that point because they're hella black folks who can actually empathize We're not being able to you know afford rent food clothes, etc, right Like fishing for that empathy is like come on sis. You got to do better like yeah I'm not feeling sorry for anyone that Again is living in excess like you have hella rooms in your house You have a big ass dining room You definitely have more space than you actually need right like everything you have at this point is a one Um And that's just like you have more wealth than you need Like it could have been a dope time for her to be like Yeah, a lot of black people in the industry will be affected like the janitors Who was working in the studio execs? You feel me who are working in the studio exec offices or cleaning? You feel me the studio sets and shit like that You know i'm saying or the workers who actually lost their jobs and lost all of their income You know what I mean in pointing out those disparities But when you make it about the niggas who was making a lot of money And about things niggas when we talk about what'll be survival for some people, bro It's just out of pocket I gotta realize like bro you have a lot more than what you need 30 million people just lost their fucking jobs niggas so many of us are having such a different experience than her in this pandemic Than the wage in this pandemic my nigga Come on Come on and that's again the the cognitive dissonance that celebrities hold. Yeah They just don't want to learn bro. It's like tap it when niggas bruh It's it's we in the age of information nigga. We in the age of connectivity nigga It's not that hard to tap in when niggas doing grassroots work bruh I think it's I think it was trying for me. I also think it was like trying to be on some relatable shit But it's like since we can't relate We're not the same our situations are not the same. We cannot relate. Sorry to break it to you We we cannot We're not the same. It's not the same position You might you might not being able to afford one of your ferrari's or some shit or your eight bedroom house Or whatever the fuck you got going on or your fourth house that you have and like all we're gonna lose the vacation house We can't go to Sweden and like skiing the Alps This is this like it's it's wild how attached How attached poor folks are how in the now poor folks are with the wealthy But just how out of touch the wealthy are with poor folks The wealthy don't give a fuck about poor folks. It's not even a mutual relationship It's not reciprocal at all. We a lot of folks spend so much time Celebrities day in and day out nigga like engulfing themselves in their lives, but knowing somebody was just like brown madden I'm poor because I'm critiquing these niggas. I'm like, what you just mad because you poor nigga. What yes, I am Okay So, yeah, that's actually Why because niggas is being exploited. I'm sure you're poor too. Nigga. I'm my breast screenshot your bank account nigga acting like you rich nigga That's the worst shit niggas acting like they're fucking rich that false class solidarity Bruh, like I might even have more money than you what the niggas you say you got a better chance to be struck by lightning The meeting a billionaire. He didn't say they'd be coming a billionaire This nigga said you're meeting a billionaire got a better chance to be struck by lightning my nigga And that's again, we shouldn't even call a world We shouldn't even a part of this a part of the number that capitalism has done us on our psyche is The folks aspiring to be rich. You should not want to be rich And that's that pure capitalist propaganda in that these celebrities are used to promote this capitalist propaganda People like they align being rich will be in free and it's like no, I'm a nigga for one. That's not even the truth True freedom is going to be Elaboration and the destruction of all these Being rich ain't even going to be a concept Being rich doesn't even go be a concept, but that's what so many niggas like that's why that was a bar Hey, that's why I like we we seen it, bro That's why so many niggas aspire to be rich. They believe once they rich They don't have that sense of self-worth. They don't have that sense of a meaning If you ain't developing any of that self-worth Before you have money like what makes you think you're gonna have self-worth because you got a fucking bunch of dead slight masters in your pocket Self-worth don't come from money, bro Period because some of these titles here. Just do some of this You know Just come on Or do some listening man, it's like if you don't want to read and don't got the time to read nigga Hebble black pod com with that lyrical heat nigga.
