Black Power Corrupts, ABSOLUTELY — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Hello and welcome to ZPR Zanu Project
- 0:04Rethink. I'm Frank Zanu in the studio
- 0:08today to talk about uh what is current
- 0:11news in the United States, a very very
- 0:13sad one for that matter. Now usually I
- 0:16try not to uh talk about things that um
- 0:20doesn't I don't have the full
- 0:22information or even knowledge but I have
- 0:25just received too many requests that I
- 0:29should uh speak about the killing of
- 0:33Javis Fon the young Ghanian 15year-old
- 0:36Ghanaian student killed in the Bronx
- 0:40just last week every day I open my
- 0:43comment section all the letters my
- 0:45email. Um,
- 0:48that's the request.
- 0:50We we are not they they include they're
- 0:53not asking me uh to jump on the
- 0:55bandwagon and point fingers and all that
- 0:58but to let people understand what could
- 1:02make this possible
- 1:06that a for 15 year old 16 or 17 even 18
- 1:12should never pull a gun and kill a human
- 1:14being. No it shouldn't happen in Hindi
- 1:17society.
- 1:19So the story so far for those of you who
- 1:22have heard it, the father of Javis
- 1:26is from Ghana
- 1:29and lives in the Bronx
- 1:31and finally was able to secure visa for
- 1:36his son who he left behind in Ghana to
- 1:39come here and go to school.
- 1:42and his son Jabis Frimpon arrived here a
- 1:46year ago.
- 1:48According to his father,
- 1:50Jabis wouldn't even step out of the
- 1:52living room when he comes home from
- 1:54school. He's just on his phone playing
- 1:56games. Wouldn't even go down the hallway
- 1:59at all.
- 2:01Now, for some reason, some say all this
- 2:05time he has been bullied in school so
- 2:07much.
- 2:10On that fateful day at 9:30 a.m.,
- 2:12according to the news, he was going to
- 2:14school and he got chased. CCTV cameras
- 2:19show him running really hard for his
- 2:22life.
- 2:25During that time, they shot him and
- 2:27killed him.
- 2:30Now, I've been following the news,
- 2:33looking at the footages and people
- 2:35talking and everybody is talking about
- 2:37bullying and that uh Africanamean kids
- 2:42do not like Africans and it is nothing
- 2:45like that. And I think if that is the
- 2:47way we are going to go, we're not going
- 2:48to find a solution to this problem or
- 2:50even understand it deeply.
- 2:53I don't believe for a second that
- 2:57any kid 14 or 15 would hate another hate
- 3:01another that much. No, it's not true at
- 3:03all that these kids just for some reason
- 3:06hate Javis Fong. I don't believe that or
- 3:09even dislike him. I don't believe that.
- 3:12It's deeper than that.
- 3:14And we have to look at the root cause of
- 3:16these problems.
- 3:18Why? Please think for a moment with
- 3:23young people of that age.
- 3:26Seek somebody who look just like them.
- 3:31And by that I mean race, skin color,
- 3:34look just like them and develop what?
- 3:38Hate or dislike
- 3:40to the point of taking his life?
- 3:44No.
- 3:46Young now bully. Yes.
- 3:51demeaning someone with bad words and
- 3:54behaviors to make them feel bad. Yes, it
- 3:58is happening in large numbers in this
- 4:01country especially against
- 4:05children
- 4:06who comes from Africa
- 4:11and the question is why
- 4:14and that is what I want to explore.
- 4:17Please go to the comment section and
- 4:18correct me if I'm wrong. But you see,
- 4:21it started long time ago. Somewhere in
- 4:231966,
- 4:25June 16, 1966
- 4:29was where it started.
- 4:32We I say it in most of my videos that we
- 4:35should be careful. The things we say in
- 4:38our living rooms
- 4:40within earshot of the young ones,
- 4:44it never motivates them.
- 4:47It steals their self-esteem.
- 4:52But we are not. We say it on podcast. We
- 4:55say it in movies, in songs.
- 4:59We do that
- 5:01in this country. We keep telling these
- 5:04young African-Americans or young black
- 5:08kids, they have no power.
- 5:11June 16 at a civil right
- 5:15rally in Mississippi. It was Stokeley
- 5:18Carmichael who raised his feast and said
- 5:21full quote, "We have been saying we want
- 5:24freedom for the last 6 years and they
- 5:26gave us nothing. So now let's say we
- 5:30want black power. Give us black power.
- 5:34Give us black power." What does that
- 5:37mean? What does it mean? And it became a
- 5:40very popular saying which is any child
- 5:42who can grow up and understand read and
- 5:44write.
- 5:46Oh, and they made a feast t-shirts and
- 5:48all in the 60s7s 80s stock car Michaels
- 5:52black power was there. But when you're
- 5:55screaming that you don't have something,
- 5:57you're telling the people you're talking
- 5:59to or the people you represent that you
- 6:02don't have power. And that is why I'm
- 6:04asking for power. But what Carichel
- 6:07didn't do is explain
- 6:10what does that power look like if they
- 6:12give it to you. What is it? What does
- 6:13the power do?
- 6:15He never did. James Baldwin said the
- 6:18same thing. And very recently, you may
- 6:21know him, Emmanuel Archer, who be who
- 6:24became the ESPN commentator football
- 6:27player said no, he was not happy with
- 6:31just individual black success and
- 6:34wealth. No, he wants a collective black
- 6:37people to have power. Again, another
- 6:39statement and a stamp telling young
- 6:40ones, you don't have power.
- 6:46And this has seeped
- 6:48into the mind of young black kids in
- 6:51this country that they don't have power.
- 6:55They have to look up all the time. See,
- 6:58here is the thing.
- 7:00Society is a strata.
- 7:04Whether you like it or not, it's just
- 7:05natural.
- 7:07Industries play certain group of people
- 7:13at the top. At the top doesn't mean they
- 7:16are better than you. No, not at all. At
- 7:18the top simply means you recognize them
- 7:21every day because what they do
- 7:25is what you need every day. They are
- 7:28responsible for the things you need. you
- 7:30buy, you use. So you associate it with
- 7:33them. If it's important to you, you
- 7:35think the people are important.
- 7:38We call those at the top.
- 7:41In just simply socioeconomic, we call
- 7:44them the rich ones and then the middle
- 7:46class and the lower class. In culture,
- 7:49it is also place a certain group of
- 7:51people that you see always because of
- 7:55who they are and what they do.
- 7:59Even language has a hierarchy.
- 8:04But does it mean that those people are
- 8:06better than you
- 8:08and the power? We assigned it to them
- 8:10that if they are so important and we
- 8:12think about them and we see them all the
- 8:13time, we concluded therefore they must
- 8:16have power
- 8:18because we said
- 8:21the higher earnest,
- 8:24the upper class we say. So with the word
- 8:27upper class, you don't even just think
- 8:30strictly that it's soioeconomic.
- 8:33Start we talking about you think the
- 8:36upper means they are above you. So you
- 8:38say therefore they have power over me.
- 8:41Therefore I need to tell my young ones
- 8:42we don't have power.
- 8:45So James Baldwin Stock Carichel in 1966
- 8:50Emmanuel Archo just recently
- 8:53everyone is talking about how we don't
- 8:56have power. And that means I'm talking
- 8:58strictly about African-Americans.
- 9:02Those of us we come from the continent
- 9:04from the Caribbean. I don't think that I
- 9:06have ever thought that I don't have
- 9:09power. In fact, if I do think I have, I
- 9:12have to describe the nature of that
- 9:13power.
- 9:16So here is it. Because we have repeated
- 9:18this thing so much, so many times,
- 9:21written about it, made movies about it,
- 9:23songs about it, lamented about it,
- 9:25complained about it. We don't have power
- 9:29that we need collective power. But what
- 9:32they don't do is this. They don't go on
- 9:34to tell the kids what they would use
- 9:38their power to do even if they get it.
- 9:41They don't tell them. Two, they don't
- 9:43even describe the nature of the power so
- 9:46that the kids can know when and if they
- 9:49have it. They don't describe it. So what
- 9:52is this the power we keep saying to our
- 9:54young ones we don't have. What is it?
- 9:58So we begin to assign and ascribe these
- 10:01power to certain groups.
- 10:04If they have this and they do this then
- 10:06they must have power over me.
- 10:09Not just they have power over
- 10:11themselves. No over me.
- 10:13They are these Anglo-Saxon
- 10:16white supremacist. They have that power.
- 10:20And you don't describe for your
- 10:22children.
- 10:24Number one, how do they have that power?
- 10:27When did they have that power? And what
- 10:30has that got to do with you? What is the
- 10:33nature of the power? You need to
- 10:34describe it so the kids know when they
- 10:36have it, how it will look like. So take
- 10:39a moment, please. You can pause this
- 10:41video and ask yourself.
- 10:43What would it look like if black people
- 10:46in this country has what is called quote
- 10:48collective power? What is it? What would
- 10:51happen? What would change? Please
- 10:52describe it to me. If the individuals
- 10:55have not gained it, then how would it
- 10:58look like with the collective? But
- 11:00beside the point, we have repeated this
- 11:02thing so much that we forgotten the
- 11:04danger and the damage it has done to the
- 11:06psych of the African-American kid in
- 11:08this country.
- 11:12I'm coming soon to tell you what we were
- 11:14told back in Africa by our parents.
- 11:18So you think that is something you need
- 11:20from that person because they say to you
- 11:22if the person has that power then he has
- 11:25influence over you but they don't tell
- 11:27you also what type of influence. You see
- 11:30influence is useless. Influ influence is
- 11:33like any commodity. Commodities are only
- 11:36useful when you have the demand for it.
- 11:39Demand
- 11:41ignites or activates supply.
- 11:45So your influence, your influence is
- 11:47useless to me cuz I don't think I wake
- 11:49up and ever think that somebody's
- 11:51influence has anything to do with me. If
- 11:54you have it, fine. I wouldn't even know
- 11:55what it looks like, let alone that I
- 11:58would need it. Because you see, I was
- 12:01influenced at only one time in my life.
- 12:05Long ago when I was born, my father, my
- 12:08mother, my grandfather, the very close
- 12:10people I grew up with influenced the way
- 12:14I need to think about the proper conduct
- 12:17of living. That is all they gave me. And
- 12:20with that with that
- 12:24Sussex,
- 12:26wealth,
- 12:29all these things we chase
- 12:31are meaningless to me.
- 12:35Because those people, my home laid the
- 12:40foundation for me to understand the
- 12:42fundamental import of the proper conduct
- 12:45of life. That if you have it and you
- 12:47know it
- 12:49and your parents influence that over
- 12:51you, you will be content with anything
- 12:55in your life. and therefore positions
- 12:58and all these things would not be
- 13:00necessary something that would bother
- 13:02you on an everyday basis. So yes, you
- 13:05have the influence the demand is not
- 13:07going to come from Zanu
- 13:10because demand activates
- 13:13supply. So if they're telling you that
- 13:16these people, this Anglo-Saxon white
- 13:18supremacist has influence over you, then
- 13:20you must immediately agree you maybe has
- 13:26a need for what they are influencing you
- 13:28with.
- 13:31So you've
- 13:34accidentally placed these other people
- 13:36who doesn't look like us on the high top
- 13:39by calling them white superior.
- 13:43But you didn't say that. You are saying
- 13:45it. You said that they think they are.
- 13:49What you're saying is you're not looking
- 13:51at their wealth. Because nobody ever
- 13:54says that white supremacy is somebody
- 13:56who is rich. So you're not looking at
- 13:57their wealth. No, you're not even
- 14:00looking at their zip code or their town.
- 14:01You don't even know where they live.
- 14:04But you know what they do, how they
- 14:06live, how they conduct themselves. You
- 14:09know that. You've seen it. their towns,
- 14:11their cities, their neighborhoods, their
- 14:14schools, you've seen it. Their children,
- 14:16you've seen it.
- 14:18You know deep down you that is the
- 14:21proper conduct of life, but you can't
- 14:24and you don't want to admit it. So you
- 14:26claim, let me smear them with a power
- 14:29thing because they think they are
- 14:31superior. You're describing that their
- 14:33actions, the way they live, the way they
- 14:35are, it's superior. When you say that
- 14:38and you repeat it, you are only
- 14:40informing your young ones that therefore
- 14:43you are nothing.
- 14:44So then they begin to look up this
- 14:46strata at the top is not them because
- 14:49you told them that these people are at
- 14:51the top. That position is taken. Next
- 14:54they're not there. If they were there
- 14:56they would know. You would describe it
- 14:57for your young ones and say listen this
- 14:59is the position we occupy in this
- 15:02country called the United States of
- 15:03America. You will describe it. Do you
- 15:07know any black opinion leader Ash
- 15:08Sharpie, Jesse Jackson, all of them who
- 15:10has ever so eloquently describe for the
- 15:14young ones what position they occupy
- 15:18that by describing that position, it
- 15:20motivates these young ones to want to
- 15:23work upon it and keep it, maintain it or
- 15:25maybe even move up. No, never. The
- 15:28position they describe for the young
- 15:29ones of this country is one no one can
- 15:32do anything about. day the kids and
- 15:34their parents can't do anything about
- 15:35it. They're telling them that's where
- 15:38you belong and that's why I have the
- 15:40action network to free you from that
- 15:42place
- 15:47and that is where the damage began to
- 15:50inform your kids that don't have power
- 15:51and then begin to put people at the top
- 15:54of you by pointing it and saying they
- 15:55are white supremacist.
- 15:58And then the next one is who? Oh, some
- 16:01of USA. The Jews control everything.
- 16:04They have the power. They own this
- 16:06country. You've given them a position.
- 16:07You think they don't like it. And then
- 16:10the third and the fourth. So you see,
- 16:13everyone who looks down sees somebody
- 16:16under him or her. Anyone who looks up
- 16:19sees somebody above him or her. And then
- 16:22you tend to look down to see who is
- 16:24under you because they've told you that
- 16:26you occupy
- 16:28the bottom of the totem pole. That
- 16:31that's where you belong, not my words.
- 16:34These words have been used by majority
- 16:37of black activists in this country. We
- 16:40are at the bottom of the totem pole. You
- 16:42said it and you've told your kids. So
- 16:44when your kids look down, they don't
- 16:46find anybody.
- 16:50But you see in intelligent cultures
- 16:53those who are well raised and given the
- 16:56proper conduct of life they don't look
- 16:57down
- 16:59to see there's somebody beneath me
- 17:01because it is not useful in any way.
- 17:05They always look up
- 17:07like my culture
- 17:10educated me to look up not down to see
- 17:13somebody is beneath me
- 17:16and if I see what is above me sometimes
- 17:19you may want to copy it emulate it if
- 17:21you can even if you don't copy or
- 17:24emulate sometime it just inspires you
- 17:27because human beings
- 17:30want to survive physically therefore we
- 17:33all want to do what is Right? In order
- 17:36to be motivated upwardly, which we call
- 17:38the upward mobility. Upward mobility,
- 17:41ladies and gentlemen, is not just how
- 17:43much money you make and increase to make
- 17:45every year. Upward mobility. It's not
- 17:48even just the promotion you get at your
- 17:50workplace. How about if you're a
- 17:51business owner, do you promote yourself?
- 17:52No, you don't. You're simply a business
- 17:54owner. If you're a bus driver and you
- 17:57own your own bus, that's all it is. You
- 17:59don't promote yourself. It may be only
- 18:02one bus you drive. If you're a taxi
- 18:04driver, you don't promote yourself, but
- 18:07you're a taxi driver. What is your
- 18:08upward mobility?
- 18:10Maybe you work hard and you go to
- 18:12training to see how you can make the
- 18:15business bringing you more money or how
- 18:17useful you become to your community.
- 18:19That in itself some people would
- 18:21describe as a man
- 18:23in his community with an social upward
- 18:26mobility, the proper conduct of life.
- 18:30Not everything is calculated in Dallas.
- 18:34those that are not calculated in Dallas
- 18:36tend out to be even more powerful.
- 18:40So now these children who have not been
- 18:42taught that a human being should always
- 18:44look up for himself. Aim high, aim
- 18:48upward, not aim down. But now you've
- 18:51been told that power can make you
- 18:53influence people or do what they have
- 18:55not described it. So you begin to look
- 18:56down, you don't see anybody. Then the
- 18:59relationship changed from being a strata
- 19:02where you look up to now being when you
- 19:04look sideways horizontal. It's supposed
- 19:07to be vertical but now it's horizontal
- 19:11which means you must look for something
- 19:14or somebody always somebody and find
- 19:16something about them that can make you
- 19:19put them under you.
- 19:25So these kids in the high schools in the
- 19:26urban cities
- 19:29always are looking for someone. They can
- 19:32tease, they can insult, they can demean
- 19:39and feel like I have you under me.
- 19:45Yes. I'll take you back to 2004 when I
- 19:49started when I launched the heroes
- 19:51leadership program in Bridgeport,
- 19:52Connecticut.
- 19:54many students. I thought it was going to
- 19:56attract only African-Americans and maybe
- 19:58some of the Caribbeans. Come to find
- 20:00many of the African students from
- 20:02Nigeria, Ghana and other places who were
- 20:04in the high schools, the urban city high
- 20:06schools started coming to my program.
- 20:08But one thing became clear. Every one of
- 20:10them will come and complain to me
- 20:15that they can't even open their mouth to
- 20:17speak in classroom because every word
- 20:19that came out of their mouth, the
- 20:21African-American kids would laugh at
- 20:23them and jump up and down and mimic it
- 20:27and keep saying, "Say it again. Say it
- 20:29again."
- 20:31Every single one I have met. But you
- 20:33see, I I will give as much advice how to
- 20:36deescalate and keep to yourself and all
- 20:38that. I have never thought for a second
- 20:40it could lead to death but I knew that
- 20:43it did traumatize some of them. A friend
- 20:45of mine got into the marine went to one
- 20:48of the schools came to the country at
- 20:49the age of 11. When he comes to visit me
- 20:53and we take a drive just to pass his old
- 20:56high school. He breaks sweats
- 20:59and visibly gets angry
- 21:03because of what happened to him when I
- 21:05arrive in this country in the hands of
- 21:07people who look just like him.
- 21:10Why? These kids don't hate him. These
- 21:13kids don't dislike him. These kids are
- 21:16not wicked bad kids.
- 21:19These kids have been told that they need
- 21:22to find power.
- 21:25And since they can't reach because like
- 21:27they say a dog only bites one that is
- 21:30nearer to him.
- 21:34They will also look horizontally
- 21:37to find someone
- 21:40to find someone demean you by your
- 21:44looks. But you know what is interesting
- 21:47in all the bullies I've heard the
- 21:49stories it is always accent.
- 21:53Yes,
- 21:55I came to the United States as an adult.
- 21:59I was in college doing very well
- 22:03and my academic advisor thought it would
- 22:06be a good idea because of the things
- 22:07I've done around the world and all that
- 22:08that I should go to the high schools and
- 22:10speak that it may inspire or motivate
- 22:14some of the kids. I never have had that
- 22:16experience. I have arrived in the United
- 22:18States. I was on campus. So he would
- 22:20call the schools arranged back then. No
- 22:22social media, nothing, not even
- 22:25internet. My first experience,
- 22:28we have to stop the speech
- 22:32midway because these kids were jumping
- 22:35up and down asking me questions.
- 22:38I learned certain words those days. Come
- 22:41to find out it was words they used to
- 22:43describe us like a Buddhist scratcher
- 22:45and all that. asking me questions if
- 22:47I've ever laid with a lion or an animal,
- 22:50if I sleep on trees.
- 22:53I went into the class thinking that
- 22:54people who look like me that they will
- 22:57be very curious and ask sensible
- 22:59questions. Every word I pronounce, these
- 23:02kids would jump up and down and laugh
- 23:04and scream.
- 23:07Do you see it? Ask many, and I'm not
- 23:11asking anyone to begin to use this
- 23:13episode to start casting any blame on
- 23:15the three kids that were allegedly uh
- 23:18being sought after for killing Jabis.
- 23:20No, that is not where I am. I'm just
- 23:24trying to explain something. If we begin
- 23:27to pay attention to that thing, maybe we
- 23:30can save the life of future students who
- 23:32are coming from the continent.
- 23:36But you know why it won't stop unless we
- 23:38begin to talk about it from this angle.
- 23:40The kids themselves. Oh, soon the NYPD
- 23:44may found them, arrest them, take them
- 23:47to court. Some smart lawyer is going to
- 23:49be asking them silly questions on the
- 23:50stand. But I promise you,
- 23:55they don't know why they did it. That is
- 23:58the dangerous part of this whole thing.
- 24:02They don't know.
- 24:04They might tell stories on the stand,
- 24:06but I'm telling you right now, they
- 24:08don't know why they did it because from
- 24:12all accounts, students, teachers, people
- 24:15who knew Java says this is the and I
- 24:17believe it. This is the sweetest boy you
- 24:19would ever meet. I believe it because
- 24:22that is how we were raised. Any country
- 24:24we go to to the point people think we
- 24:26are timid.
- 24:29Yes, sir. Yes, please.
- 24:37Yes. Not even high school. Even those of
- 24:40us who came here to go to college as
- 24:42adults,
- 24:44we will respect our professors to the
- 24:46point they will tell us, "Hey man, calm
- 24:48down.
- 24:50Be casual with me." We are nice people,
- 24:54especially Ghanaians.
- 24:55Anyone
- 24:57that has met, first one that will come
- 24:59out of their mouth if the person is a
- 25:01Ghanaian say the person met a Ghanaian.
- 25:03Oh my god, they are such respectful and
- 25:05sweet people. Yes, they are.
- 25:08They are.
- 25:10How many times in this country have you
- 25:12heard a Ghanaian in trouble here, a
- 25:15Ghanaian in trouble there?
- 25:17They like to live with themselves. They
- 25:19like to live by themselves. They like to
- 25:21associate and have parties and talk.
- 25:22Their children are very, very
- 25:24respectful.
- 25:26Now, the father said something that was
- 25:28interesting. He said since he arrived
- 25:31here, he wouldn't even come out to go
- 25:33down the hallway or to the neighborhood
- 25:34and play. He won't. He would just stay
- 25:36indoors. Now, ask yourself,
- 25:39who is the majority, the predominant
- 25:42population
- 25:43in that Bronx area? Black, not white.
- 25:46Javis wasn't afraid of white. If Javis
- 25:49father had enough money and thought,
- 25:52I'll put my son Javis
- 25:56in a private school 99.99% white, Javis
- 25:59would still be alive. Jabies will grow
- 26:01up to become a professor or a medical
- 26:02doctor or whatever he chooses to become.
- 26:04And I can tell you for certain
- 26:08Javis would never be hurt by any law
- 26:11enforcement member because he already
- 26:14have the foundation to understand what
- 26:17the proper conduct of living is required
- 26:19of any human being in any society.
- 26:23Young Javis knows that. You can see the
- 26:24father's face when he was talking. No
- 26:27blame at all. He openly shed tears on
- 26:31camera.
- 26:34He was shocked beyond. Oh, the joy of
- 26:36waiting for a year to see your son you
- 26:38left behind.
- 26:40You know, but these young three
- 26:43unfortunate kids are going to live the
- 26:45rest of their lives with murder against
- 26:48their name and on their record.
- 26:51No one should jubilate that. See, we
- 26:54can't bring back Javis. No, we can't.
- 26:59May he soul rest in peace
- 27:01and may his parents have strength.
- 27:06We can't bring him back
- 27:08but we can do something.
- 27:11If we can have the conversation
- 27:16then we can start something
- 27:18because we will be told we will be
- 27:20informed that the kids in the school
- 27:25they have this inside them. They don't
- 27:27They're not even aware.
- 27:30They're not even aware. So, we can
- 27:31recreate the whole situation. And what
- 27:34is this about? This celebrity said,
- 27:36"I'll pay for the funeral." What do we
- 27:40think that Javis insurance can pay for a
- 27:42coffin?
- 27:45What is this I'll pay? How many caskets
- 27:48if you pay
- 27:50will this go away?
- 27:53That is the best you can do. No, I am
- 27:57waiting
- 27:58for Ben Chrome, Al Shapton, or Joy Reed
- 28:03and Don Lemon. Where are they? Of
- 28:05course, I'm the one who said black lives
- 28:07have never mounted anywhere.
- 28:11Never. You see the silence? Because they
- 28:14can't go out there. They were ones who
- 28:17pedal this nonsense that the kids don't
- 28:20have power or we collectively don't have
- 28:22power. So what are they going to say to
- 28:24them?
- 28:26But this would have been the best
- 28:29opportunity for all of these people
- 28:33to speak out to become aware that what
- 28:36we are dealing with is not something
- 28:37kids wake up and plan I'm going to do
- 28:40because I don't like this person from
- 28:41here I don't like this person is
- 28:44inherent deep
- 28:49because they've heard it both from their
- 28:52parents who were also told so they are
- 28:54nothing his father is in jail. His
- 28:57mother is on drugs maybe or alcohol
- 29:01and he's been told to blame someone for
- 29:03it.
- 29:05I say when a man is under durex you see
- 29:08when a man is under durex physically
- 29:13he may complain to the person complain
- 29:17or he may simply lament to himself or to
- 29:21others about the condition. You either
- 29:24complain or you lament about it. When
- 29:26will I get out of this condition? How
- 29:28can I get out of this condition? That is
- 29:30lamentation
- 29:32or you complain to the person. If you
- 29:34know
- 29:35but when people leave their lives to
- 29:38blame
- 29:40someone for their condition
- 29:43that is a clear indication that you are
- 29:44dealing with people with very very low
- 29:47intelligent
- 29:49because intelligent people
- 29:52they don't blame people
- 29:54post the fact
- 29:57after the fact
- 29:59because they know the dangers. They've
- 30:01seen it in society the dangers it will
- 30:04do not to you directly but to your
- 30:07children's children and children.
- 30:09You point one finger and others will
- 30:12join you to look at that direction and
- 30:15they are never going to turn away to
- 30:17look at themselves unless you turn and
- 30:19tell them to take a look at themselves
- 30:21or to look upward.
- 30:24That is a danger of why many societies
- 30:27or colleges
- 30:29refrain from blaming others.
- 30:36In the memory of Javvis, if we want to
- 30:38do something,
- 30:40we need to now I saw it this morning.
- 30:42Justice for Jarvis. Justice?
- 30:47What justice?
- 30:49That they should arrest them and try
- 30:51them and put them in jail.
- 30:53That is not justice.
- 30:57That's not justice.
- 31:00Javis will tell you
- 31:02if you can start talking to yourselves
- 31:04and say, "Gosh,
- 31:09we made a mistake. We've poisoned our
- 31:11own children."
- 31:15Yeah.
- 31:16And apologize to the young black kids
- 31:20that you have poisoned. they would think
- 31:22about it.
- 31:25You see, but when you keep saying that
- 31:27those people, the Anglo-Saxon white
- 31:30supremacist, they have the power.
- 31:34Well, you trying to say,
- 31:37have you told them what they use the
- 31:38power to do?
- 31:40Are you talking about describing to your
- 31:43kids that copy that power? Because if
- 31:45you have that power,
- 31:48you would keep your cities to look clean
- 31:52like the Anglo-Saxon white supremacist,
- 31:54his city or his town. That they use
- 31:57their power to protect their young girls
- 31:59from being knocked up at the age of 16
- 32:02and be left with three and a half
- 32:03children who rely on the taxpayers
- 32:06footstamps.
- 32:07They use their power to keep drug
- 32:10dealers out of their town. If anything,
- 32:12they themselves will not sit in street
- 32:14corners and sell drugs to their kind.
- 32:16They use their power to make sure their
- 32:19children bring in massive amount of
- 32:23volunteer hours every month. They use
- 32:26their power to make sure that their kids
- 32:28stay in school.
- 32:30They use their power to clean and keep
- 32:33their environment safe and secure so
- 32:36their children play outside all the
- 32:38time.
- 32:40They use their power to teach their
- 32:41young ones by the time they turn three
- 32:43how to save money. They use their power,
- 32:47the white supremacy power
- 32:51to teach their children the proper work
- 32:54ethics and the proper conduct of living.
- 32:58Maybe that is the power you're
- 32:59describing.
- 33:02Maybe if you have described the power
- 33:03that way to your children, they will not
- 33:06look at Fon when he came here. They will
- 33:09be looking upward. If you have told them
- 33:12that the people you want to blame and
- 33:14hate that their power, look at their
- 33:17schools, look at their towns, they don't
- 33:19even have city sweeping machines, but
- 33:22look at their town. Their children don't
- 33:24throw fits in public over little
- 33:27disagreements. They don't smash and
- 33:29grab. They don't shoplift from Indian
- 33:32convenience stores. They don't scream in
- 33:35public and pull each other's hair
- 33:36because you mix my French fries.
- 33:39They don't. That is the power you should
- 33:43have thought to your children.
- 33:47That is what they have used their power
- 33:49to do. But no, no, no. You didn't
- 33:52describe it. You couldn't. How could
- 33:55you?
- 33:56Even that they give you an envelope full
- 33:58of what is good for your children, you
- 34:00will shove it in your back pocket and
- 34:01keep telling them that somebody is on
- 34:03top of your neck. You don't have power.
- 34:07And like I said, in a society when you
- 34:09repeat that to any group of people for
- 34:11so long and they come to believe you
- 34:13because now you've stolen their
- 34:14self-esteem,
- 34:17they also will look for somebody on
- 34:21whose neck they should sit. In this
- 34:23case, they turn the relationship not
- 34:26vertical anymore, but horizontal
- 34:30and Javis
- 34:32Fon
- 34:35was the next one they saw.
- 34:38They teased him and me and many others
- 34:41who had come from either the Caribbean
- 34:43or Africa by using the Anglo-Saxon white
- 34:47supremacist language that you don't have
- 34:49that accent and therefore you are
- 34:51inferior if you don't speak like us. Now
- 34:54me
- 34:56I speak with an accent.
- 35:02You see what they use to find somebody
- 35:04who is inferior?
- 35:06accent
- 35:09from the borrowed lang not even borrowed
- 35:11the language that was down their throat
- 35:14is the only thing you found to say that
- 35:18the you can tease you can demean even
- 35:22kill because I didn't speak like you who
- 35:25speaks the language of the Anglo-Saxon
- 35:29white supremacist can you believe they
- 35:32didn't say he was fat they didn't say he
- 35:34was slow in past.
- 35:37They didn't say he wasn't swave.
- 35:41They look for something that will make
- 35:43him different.
- 35:47In this case,
- 35:49tragedy.
- 35:52We can change this. It may not take a
- 35:55week or two or three, a year or two, but
- 35:58please all of you,
- 36:01we got to stop saying the language. You
- 36:05hear it, back away from it. You know
- 36:09those who are currently still saying it
- 36:11either they are blaming you for marrying
- 36:13somebody who has a a different skin
- 36:15color from you
- 36:19or they are blaming you. But you know
- 36:21what is funny? And if there is any young
- 36:23person listening to this, next time they
- 36:26come to tell you that a Jew is wrong and
- 36:29the Anglo-Saxon white supremacist is
- 36:31wrong, ask them where they work. Ask
- 36:34them who have made their lives so
- 36:36comfortable. Starting with your LeBron
- 36:38James.
- 36:40Yes, he will disrespect the national
- 36:42anthem,
- 36:44but immediately the bell goes. He will
- 36:47be bouncing inflated leather balloons on
- 36:50a hardwood floor to entertain the Jews,
- 36:52both their children in the bleaches and
- 36:55the company owner. Oh, he dare never
- 36:58disrespect the company owner who is also
- 37:01Jew and Anglo-Saxon.
- 37:04He forgotten that the anthem was played
- 37:07because that Anglo-Saxon formed the team
- 37:09he's playing for. Oh, what a what a
- 37:13confused life. I'm blessed for not being
- 37:16in that position.
- 37:19The Jew that pays $800 a trip for a
- 37:22chopper to take him to Philly to play.
- 37:25Oh, he doesn't respect that one in the
- 37:27boardroom.
- 37:30See, they are lying to you young ones.
- 37:32They live a lavish lifestyle on the same
- 37:35person they are telling you to hate and
- 37:37how to respect and to respect the anthem
- 37:40and the flag.
- 37:43They are lying to you. They go to the
- 37:45boardroom with it and say, "Yes, sir.
- 37:47When next will I play?" It used to be
- 37:49Apollo Theater, not King Cole and Ella
- 37:52Fitzerat. And you know they play to
- 37:56entertain white people with cigars, both
- 37:59men and women. But they respected them
- 38:02and they did well.
- 38:05Now it's not Apollo. It's Madison Square
- 38:07Garden.
- 38:09The teams are all owned by white people.
- 38:11Oh, and I bet you LeBron James, I dare
- 38:14you to say I'm not going to play for any
- 38:16whiteowned team and then call on all
- 38:19your friends, including Colin
- 38:20Kaepernick, to do the same.
- 38:23He boycotted the national anthem but
- 38:26can't boycott a team that is owned by a
- 38:28Jew
- 38:30double standard
- 38:32and you've poison these young ones where
- 38:35they can grow with talent and skills and
- 38:37look up and be somebody
- 38:42but fron Javis primone
- 38:46sad story.
- 38:48So let's stop let's stop this talk of oh
- 38:53they hated them in the diaspora wars.
- 38:56This is all very foolish. My slogan to
- 38:59the rethink community. One of the things
- 39:02we should do is we wage a campaign. A
- 39:04friendly campaign but powerful. We
- 39:07reject any negative talk. We want to
- 39:11create a peaceful be beautiful world.
- 39:13People just do your thing. Coexist. Live
- 39:16this short lives.
- 39:19and say goodbye to the world. And I want
- 39:22to say goodbye to you too. Go to Patreon
