Transcript
- 0:01I'm always got to be the person to say it, and I don't want to
- 0:03be the person to say it, but Donald Trump has been president
- 0:08for nine months, nine months. And I'm seeing videos from
- 0:12Chicago, DC, where people like, yo, I feel safe.
- 0:20My kids feel safe. This is the best thing he ever
- 0:24did for us. So what was happening all these
- 0:28years that this ship, like literally I've known, I've known
- 0:30DC and Virginia to have this type of shit going my whole life
- 0:34and I'm I'm in my 40s, OK, almost touching it.
- 0:39So what was really true going on if a motherfucker became
- 0:43president nine months ago and cleared that shit out?
- 0:50Just the flick of the pin. I'm just thinking like, did
- 0:54y'all really ever care? She's asking the right question
- 0:58because these areas are controlled by Democrats.
- 1:00But the best way to understand people is to pay attention to
- 1:02their incentive structures. Democrats are not incentivized
- 1:06for black Americans to do better.
- 1:08If you think about the Democrats platform, it's about making
- 1:10everybody a victim. If you're black, the system's
- 1:13racist and it's against you, and we are the people who are going
- 1:15to fix that problem for you. Those Republicans, they're
- 1:18racist. If you're gay, they don't like
- 1:19you because you're gay. If you're a woman, they don't
- 1:21like you because you're a woman. If you're an immigrant, they
- 1:22don't like you because you're an immigrant.
- 1:24And again, back to black people, the reason you're struggling
- 1:26because of history, racism in the system.
- 1:28It's not your decision making. It's not you making poor
- 1:30decisions. But here's the thing, If they
- 1:32can keep you focused on everything except accountability
- 1:35and your own personal agency, that makes you a perpetual voter
- 1:40for Democrats. Because you will continue to
- 1:42believe that the reason you and your people are not succeeding
- 1:44is because the system is racist and it's against you.
- 1:47And you believe the Democrats are fighting to fix that system,
- 1:50when in reality, the system is not against you.
- 1:52And the biggest reason Black Americans are now struggling is
- 1:54because of Black Americans. Our mindsets, our belief
- 1:57systems, the way we go about things.
- 1:59The system is no longer the primary factor.
- 2:01It's us. But again, if black Americans
- 2:04start taking accountability, making better decisions and
- 2:07doing better, they will need the Democrats less than the
- 2:10Democrats will actually have to be accountable for getting
- 2:12things done. As long as black people think
- 2:15white people and Republicans are racist, Democrats are like, oh,
- 2:17we got it locked. But if black Americans start
- 2:19doing better and start catching up with the other races and they
- 2:22start thinking maybe this place isn't that racist, Democrats
- 2:25have to have a new talking point.
- 2:26They have to do something different to continue to get the
- 2:28black vote. That's more work and it's more
- 2:30dangerous for their political power.
- 2:32So again, it actually works in Democrats favor for black people
- 2:35to continue to struggle. It doesn't actually help them if
- 2:37they actually fix our problems. So Simply put, Democrats are
- 2:40incentivized for black people to continue to struggle.
