• 0:52
  Speaker 1: the roof, cost the everyday goods through the roof. It's
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: just so you may or may not realize that black
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: political power in this South is facing what many are
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: calling a reconstruction of the Jim Crow South. Okay, the
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: systematic dismantling of majority black congressional districts, redistricting of voting rights,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the dilution of black voter impact through strategic redistrict redistricting Hell.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: In Louisiana, a brother named Calvin Duncan won sixty eight
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: percent of the vote to serve as Orleans Paris Criminal
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Court clerk and at the urgent of Governor Jeff Landry,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the GOP controlled state legislative you know, race the past
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: legislation that eliminated his position, Okay, just days before his
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: term was about to start, and they transferred his duties
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: to another official. So a black man wins an election
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: and has it just taken away at the state's request.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: So yeah, when people say this is the reconstruction of
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: the Jim Crow South when it comes to black political power,
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I can see why they say that. But I'm telling you,
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Hell can always get hotter, okay. And Nathaniel Ledbetter is
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: proven that because in the Constitution there's something called the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: fourteenth Amendment. Okay, google it later if you want to,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: but I'll tell you a little bit about it.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: Now.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Fourteenth Amendment to the US Constitution grant citizenship to all
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: persons born are naturalized in these here United States of America, Okay,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: including formally enslaved people okay, and guaranteed all citizens, equal
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: protections of the laws and due process for big states
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: from denying these rights. And it's a cornerstone of American
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: civil rights law. So yes, the fourteenth Amendment is what
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: formally recognizes black people as citizens. Okay, it explicitly explicit
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: that light overturns the eighteen fifty seven Dred Scott Versus
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Saying for decision that had declared niggas were not citizens. Okay,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: this is important, y'all. All right, The Fourteenth Amendment established
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: birthright citizenship for anyone born are naturalized in America, guaranteeing
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: equal protection under the law for formally enslaved people. Well,
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: what if one day they decided to overturn the fourteenth
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Amendment and said, you blacks don't deserve guaranteed citizenship, are
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: equal protection of the laws? Will That's exactly what Nathaniel
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: led better. It wants to happen. Oh, he said in
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: the press conference. Okay, you have the close of a
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: special session. Let's listen.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: Certainly gives an opportunity to look at those congressional districts again,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: gives us a chance at all of them if we
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: get some reprieve from courts, and so give us We'll
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: see how that goes, and certainly hope that the Supreme
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Court will overturn Amendment fourteen and gives us a shot
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: to revisit those You know, there's been a push the
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: courts to try to overtake some of these red state seats,
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: and with a ruling that happened in Louisiana, we felt
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: like it gave us a chance to maybe regain it.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: See it also opened up seven District seven. I think
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: that's happened.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: All we need now is the courts to overturn fourteen
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: and we can look at the election.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Come again, Okay, now, spokesman, when Nathaniel said the speaker
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: didn't mean what he actually said, well, mister spokesman, he
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: said it twice. Okay, he said it twice in that
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: themement I just heard. And I don't know if y'all
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: quite understand what it would mean for the Fourteenth Amendment
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: to be overturned. States could legalize forms of racial segregation
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: without the Fourteenth Amendment, legal discriminatory systems and education, housing,
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: public accommodations, employment, Okay, all of that. It would be legal, okay,
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: to be discriminating against all black asses. Okay, unless stopped
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: by federal legislation. And do you think this current administration,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: this federal government is going to stop any of that. Huh,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: voting rights? Please? You think they weak? Now, you think
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: they've been gutted. Now, get rid of the fourteenth Amendment.
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: They wouldn't even matter. Okay, black people, we wouldn't be
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: able to win a civil rights lawsuit if the white
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: man you were suing, his life depended on it. Okay. Basically,
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: whatever the Jim Crow era looked like from eighteen seventy
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: seven to the nineteen sixties, that's what we would be
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: back in with wi FI. Okay, legal racial segregation and discrimination.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: And this is the amendment that Nathaniel Ledbetter is saying
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: should be overturned, the fourteenth. Okay. What I hate about
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: situations like this is people will tell black folks don't overreact.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: That's not what he meant. But how come the mistakes.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: It's always got to do with something that removes all rights. Okay,
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: nobody ever accidentally says, you know what, I hope everybody
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: gets free health care. I hope everybody gets free reparations.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: This is why people don't trust politicians when they say
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: democracy is safe, because if your first instinct during a
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: voting rights argument is maybe we should overturn the amendment
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: that gave black people citizenship, Well, what exactly do you
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: think the problem is, Nathaniel Huh. You think the problem
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: is the maps? Are the black voters on the maps.
