Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: I want to talk about something. Okay, Look, I'm not
- 0:05Speaker 1: a representative of black people, and I understand that I've
- 0:11Speaker 1: not been elected to be a spokesperson. But I've been
- 0:14Speaker 1: black for a long time, and I'm keenly aware of
- 0:19Speaker 1: my blackness. It has never escaped me, not for a
- 0:22Speaker 1: single moment. And it's not that I haven't wanted it to,
- 0:28Speaker 1: or not that I desire to. It's just that I've
- 0:31Speaker 1: never been allowed. I've never been allowed in the United
- 0:35Speaker 1: States of America to forget that I'm black. I don't
- 0:39Speaker 1: have that luxury. You know. The only time I don't
- 0:42Speaker 1: feel this way is when I'm in the Middle East
- 0:45Speaker 1: or when I'm in Africa. Then and only then do
- 0:48Speaker 1: I get to wake up in the morning and feel
- 0:51Speaker 1: what it feels like not to be a minority, an
- 0:54Speaker 1: amazing feeling. I wish you all could understand what that
- 0:58Speaker 1: feels like. But see, the thing that I wish could
- 1:02Speaker 1: happen is that will never happen, is is that people
- 1:06Speaker 1: who are not minorities could understand what it would be like.
- 1:09Speaker 1: But that's an impossibility. It's just not possible. It's impossible
- 1:14Speaker 1: for you to know what that feels like. Now, I
- 1:18Speaker 1: will admit there are sympathizers, and there are people out
- 1:22Speaker 1: there who are willing to help and try to understand,
- 1:25Speaker 1: and those people are applaued and recognized that they do exist.
- 1:29Speaker 1: Slavery did not end because black people wanted it to end,
- 1:33Speaker 1: because every black person didn't want slavery. No man will
- 1:37Speaker 1: want slavery for himself, so you had to have some
- 1:40Speaker 1: good willed, non slaves white people who helped assist in that.
- 1:45Speaker 1: So there's always been a good side to this thing.
- 1:49Speaker 1: But what's happening in our government today it needs everybody's
- 1:53Speaker 1: attention because this government is not designed. They have tricked
- 1:59Speaker 1: you on a level that you didn't see coming. And
- 2:03Speaker 1: now you got all these letters coming from these Trump
- 2:05Speaker 1: supporters who are upset because they voted for Trump and
- 2:11Speaker 1: they lost their job. I just want to remind you,
- 2:16Speaker 1: did you really think when he was campaigning that he
- 2:20Speaker 1: was talking about you. Did you really think that these
- 2:26Speaker 1: tax cuts he was talking about what's gonna be for you.
- 2:31Speaker 1: Did you really think these jobs he promised to add,
- 2:37Speaker 1: did you think he was gonna add him for you?
- 2:41Speaker 1: Because he never mentioned that he was gonna take jobs.
- 2:45Speaker 1: He never told you all when he was campaigning that
- 2:48Speaker 1: he was gonna live up to Project twenty twenty five.
- 2:51Speaker 1: He never told you that he was gonna bring Elon
- 2:54Speaker 1: Musk along. He never told you that. But that was
- 2:59Speaker 1: the play all along. And so now you got to
- 3:05Speaker 1: buckle up. Here's the understanding that black people have. And
- 3:13Speaker 1: once again, I'm not your spokesperson. I don't claim to be,
- 3:17Speaker 1: but I have been black for sixty eight years, and
- 3:21Speaker 1: we already know what it's like not to have programs.
- 3:25Speaker 1: We already know what it's like to have programs taken,
- 3:30Speaker 1: you know, for you all to come in and rebuff
- 3:32Speaker 1: teaching Black studies in school, y'all wasn't trying to teach
- 3:36Speaker 1: them in the first place. They don't even teach black
- 3:38Speaker 1: studies in white schools. They don't have black history in
- 3:41Speaker 1: white schools. You thought that taking the DEI was gonna
- 3:45Speaker 1: hurt us, and everybody voted for that. Well, y'all too,
- 3:48Speaker 1: because DEI really affected majority of white women. Black people
- 3:52Speaker 1: are number five or number six on the list of
- 3:55Speaker 1: being the benefactor of DEI. So they food y'all with
- 3:59Speaker 1: that too. They tricked you from the outset. They told
- 4:05Speaker 1: you they was gonna bring down the price of eggs.
- 4:07Speaker 1: Eggs is ten dollars a dozen. It just kept telling
- 4:11Speaker 1: you stuff. But what they didn't tell you that he
- 4:15Speaker 1: was going to pay back all those billionaire donors, the
- 4:19Speaker 1: bez O's, the Targets, the Walmarts, the Elon Musk, all
- 4:26Speaker 1: of them had to get paid back for making their contributions.
- 4:30Speaker 1: So the things that's happening right now is benefiting the
- 4:34Speaker 1: rich and wealthy. And if you think for one minute
- 4:37Speaker 1: that you are going to be a benefactor of that,
- 4:40Speaker 1: you are sadly mistaken. Here comes all of the letters
- 4:43Speaker 1: from all of the Trump supporters, and it ain't working.
- 4:48Speaker 1: It's not working, And so now you thought this was
- 4:52Speaker 1: going to be for you, it's not. Trump is for
- 4:56Speaker 1: the wealthy once again. It's okay for us who have
- 5:02Speaker 1: been denied. Y'all can rebuff the civil rights voting at
- 5:06Speaker 1: because you never wanted us to have it anyway, and
- 5:09Speaker 1: you never acted like we had it. You can rebuff
- 5:12Speaker 1: affirmative action and make it official because you all have
- 5:15Speaker 1: unofficially been doing it all along anyway. You can pardon
- 5:20Speaker 1: all the people that climbed over the wall and rided
- 5:23Speaker 1: on January sixth, because he considered a support for him.
- 5:28Speaker 1: This ain't about you. He said he loved the police,
- 5:31Speaker 1: but he released all the people that hurt the policeman.
- 5:35Speaker 1: Are y'all kidding me? He told you he loved veterans,
- 5:38Speaker 1: just the same dude that refused to serve. And now
- 5:42Speaker 1: veterans are losing jobs and benefits at an alarming rate.
- 5:47Speaker 1: Talking about we got to shave the fat off the government.
- 5:50Speaker 1: What he didn't tell you was the fat meant you.
- 5:55Speaker 1: Why don't you have you seen a congressman or a
- 5:58Speaker 1: senator that have lost their jobs. They make a lot
- 6:01Speaker 1: of money. They fat. They ain't cutting none of that fat.
- 6:04Speaker 1: Now the fat they cutting is you. Welcome to the
- 6:08Speaker 1: Trump era. Congratulations, that's who you voted for, and that's
- 6:13Speaker 1: who we got. And we're gonna be just fine because
- 6:16Speaker 1: it's pretty much more of the same for us. Those
- 6:19Speaker 1: are my closes the remarks. Listen, have yourself a great
