Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello the Internet, and welcome to Season one, thirty six,
Episode three up tur Daily Side Guys production of I
Heart Radio. This is a podcast where we take a
deep dive into America's share consciousness and say, officially off
the top box of Cooke Brothers and fuck Fox News.
It's Thursday, June four. My name is Jack O'Brien a

(00:25):
k A. The Baja Blaster of Disaster. Let's go with that,
and I'm thrilled to be joined as always by my
co host, Mr Miles Miles Gray a k A. If
your news is not sit using the words white supremacy
and capitalism in their coverage of anything, I don't know

(00:47):
if they are actually able to diagnose the problems. If
we are not using the right words to identify the problems,
we will not be able to solve them. Uh. And
we'll get into that, but I am, but we just
have to get into the news. There's a different energy, uh,
with what's happening right now that I'm like, I'm constantly

(01:07):
amazed at how again white supremacy has to sort of
reform itself to be able to maintain its power. And
you see that in the news coverage, and you see
that with the uh be just un chained growth, the
aggression coming from the police. It's a lot uh. So yes,

(01:28):
join us on this journey is a lot of part
uh just how bad things all? And we are thrilled
to have in our third seat one of my favorite
stand up comedians, one of the funniest humans working currently.
She is the hilarious, the talented dul Say Sloan. Hello, friend,

(01:51):
I feel like you're flirting with me, and I accept it,
even though in these traveling times, I don't know if
I should accept effects from a what man yeah tomatoes motto.
You know you gotta work in the community. Um, hello, everyone?
How everyone doing? Oh? You know? Um, you know it's bad.

(02:14):
That's bad. I'm doing bad. I think this is the
time that we're allowed to say when someone's like, hey,
how's it going, You're allowed to be like bad and
not be uh you know one of the neurotic considered neurotic. Yeah.
This is the time where black people have got their
very worried white friends just being like are you good?

(02:35):
I don't are you are you good? Yeah? People are people.
I'm black and Japanese. I'm black and Japanese, and you know,
I'm getting those texts and the what the funny thing
is I scroll up the last thing they text me.
They were asking me for something. That's what it. But
that's what it's like. That's the thing, and that's the

(02:56):
thing I want people like, that's the thing. I'm like,
I understand. Thank you, Like if that helps you feel
better about your privilege to check on me, and that
feels like a way to you know, handle that. Fine.
But my god, man, black people have had plenty of
time to to carve up and analyze what's been going on.
The The murder of David McAtee, that man who owns

(03:19):
the barbecue shop in Louisville particularly is heartbreaking. My grandfather,
who you know, his family moved from the South to Chicago.
He came from Chicago out to l a looking for
work because of the war effort, tax paying black man
who served his country, entrepreneur who had to do everything
on his own. He owned. He my grandfather used to

(03:41):
own a barbecue restaurant Slawson an Overhill in l a
And and then and the people knew in the neighborhood.
He was good with people because he he saw him
making barbecue as a way to feed his community. It wasn't.
It wasn't for profit. Those those margins are razor. Then
that's not to go ball out. He did it because
that's a way that that's an expression of our love

(04:02):
for each other too, is through us providing for each
other and cooking for each other. And I know during
the riots he in two he was worried about his place.
But things were okay, thank God. But I just think
about this other man, a grandfather, a black man in
the street who police seemed to know his restaurant too,
is just murdered. You know, I don't know what it

(04:24):
was like because I was like, why are you shooting?
Because the story I got was somebody was shooting at
the police, they shot back, and he wasn't. It was
an innocent bystandard situation. So it wasn't him like he
wasn't because he wasn't protesting. It was like he was

(04:44):
he wasn't protesting. It was an innocent bystandard situation. And
I'm always like straight bullets always seem to catch good people.
They never seem to catch the awful dude, Like Hitler
got hit straight bullet, right, But then, but I guess

(05:04):
if you are the awful dude, the bullets not straight,
Like I don't understand what happens. Like if you're shooting
at the cops and you get shot, you're just like,
all right, you earned that the right way. But if
you're you know, just right, Like, the straight bullet has
always been a weird, a weird kind of thing where

(05:26):
it's just like, oh, you're never gonna catch you. Dude,
who was a it was you know, a horrible person.
You know it was, you know, kicking puppies and hurting
kids and all this other stuff like that, Like straight
bullets go around him. Yeah, Like, I don't know if
the evil protects you, Like I don't know what the
philosophy of the straight bullet is, but I can be

(05:49):
thankful that my white friends who have hit me up
to ask if I'm all right, it's not the are
you all right? Well, what can I do? It's not
those two because some people are to get the It's
kind of like as a comic when you book something
like when I booked, like when I got Daily Show,
there was two types of there's there's three types of

(06:11):
people that hit you up. There's the oh my god, congratulations,
and that's the end of the sentence, and then there's um, oh, congratulations,
how did you book that? And then there's just the
people that are just like, oh, hey, well, how did
you book this? Okay, cool? He just that congratulations? Were friends,

(06:32):
congratulations and how you book this? We're friends, but you're
an ask If it's just how did you book this?
I'm gonna block you on social media? Like and so
it's the same thing, it's how are you done? How
are you? What can I do? Done? What can I do?
First of all, quit asking us, because we've been peacefully protesting.

(06:54):
But then it's because I'm very much over the well
if they would have done and this, listen, there is
plenty of footage. We've all seen eyes on the prize,
we all went to high school, we all found out
what happened. I really to the point where I'm just like,
I'm gonna need white people to stop talking about Martin

(07:14):
Luther King. Yes, because what you're doing is using Martin
Luther King to silence us. So you're bringing on the
he wouldn't want the rights, he would'tre with the rights.
And then it's like, oh, this is what we're gonna do. Fine,
and then you send them the clip of Martin Luther
King doing a speech saying that riots are the language
of the unheard. So now you don't have a rebuttal
because it was well Martin Luthering, and I was like, no, no,

(07:36):
no, no no, let's not guess but he would have thought.
Let me show you an actual clip of what the
man said, because I don't know if you saw on
Twitter where people were white explaining to Bernice King about
what her father would have done, and she was like,
my father peacefully protested and y'all assassinated him. So you've

(07:58):
already told us what happens when peace fully protests. We
did sit ins at lunch counters and we were attacked.
We peacefully protested across the bridge. That was a massacre.
We had a whole town set up and Tulsa, Oklahoma,
because you wouldn't leave us alone towards you burn the
city down May thirty one to June one. That was

(08:19):
nine years ago. So all of the times where we
have been, we've done. We've gone by your rules. Fine,
you don't want us to live near you will make
our own town. All these new girls are successful, burn
it down, okay. You want us to peacefully protest, we
did all of this, let's attack them with dogs and
fire hoses. So we are trying to follow the rule

(08:39):
every it's you're given, you're not. You're giving us the
guidelines of what we have to do for you acknowledge
as human beings and then acknowledge our rights. And it's
still we didn't do That's the thing, because I think
right there trying to say, well, these are the rules
to getting what you want. But see what we played
by the rules and we're not getting what It's not
even what we want, it's we're old. It's what we

(09:01):
what we are, what we what we deserve as human being.
When the people who make that, the people who make
the rules, will always be able to change the walls
than the game, then we'll play a different one. So
my thing is now, stop asking us. You want to
know what you can do for me as a black
person to change things, Call your dad, Call your dad,

(09:24):
call your uncle, call your auntie, called all of those
people that are the reason that you don't go home
for Thanksgiving, because all of those people are the ones
saying all lives matter, and you get more careble about
a target on fire than a man would uh than
a policeman's knee on his neck. Stop asking us we
didn't start this problem, because how can an abuser look

(09:46):
at the victim and turn to the victim and say,
tell me how to stop abusing you. How does that
make sense? Black people have been our whole lives. We've
been taught generation after generation after generation how to navigate
through white folks to survive. And this is the time
for white people to not to teach white people how

(10:07):
to navigate through us. We played by the rules and
you keep changing them. So I'm going to then the
rulemaker need to talk to the rulemaker, because obviously you're
not listening to us because you can watch all these
videos and not care what did he do wrong? He existed,
there was anything he could done right. So I'm not

(10:29):
playing this game no more. Because the only reason busses
got desegregated is because the Montgomery bus system was about
to go bankrupt. They didn't change their minds about us.
They didn't make us people. It was eighteen months and
it was running out of money. Some man needed to
send his child to college. It was either either he
can't go to school or these need girls get to
say whatever they wanted. This bus when about us? All

(10:51):
these changes haven't been about us. You mess their money.
And my mama taught me as a kid, you want
to change stuff, mess up d white man money and
stuff with you. It's not about it's not about acknowledging
the humanity. And that's that's not that's that's that's not
that's not the point. You burnt hot target target. Don't
say in the care why do you care? Right? Right?

(11:13):
Because because white people don't want to believe that things
could actually be that bad, and so it's easier to
just be like, oh, well, it can't be that. It
can't be that black people this country have experienced white
supremacy and oppression so bad that they would that this
is what it's led to. That can't be. That's like
this self preservation ship again, because if you have to
really look white supremacy and I that's when you can

(11:35):
begin to be like, oh that maybe we can fix
something about it. But when you don't talk about it,
it's easy to just move on because you're not to
talk about the problem. And I think it's really you know,
we'll see what happens. We'll have a guest on later
to just kind of talk about sort of what's going
on in the ground and ways to constructively move forward.
But you know, like I said in the episode yesterday,

(11:57):
for all the Allies posting those black squares, keep that
black square energy up. Three weeks from now, three months,
from now, three years, keep the same energy. Like, if
I don't see that energy up, you're the worst kind
of fucking person there is, because you are just posturing
to try and comfort us. I will feel I'll feel
better when I see action and I and again, I like,

(12:19):
I get, I get what you're trying to do. But
the thing is in the street, I still see people
who I could look at is being my own grandfather
get murdered. Nothing. That's my grandfather owned a dry cleaner
and fought for this country and came back. Our grandfather
fired World War two overseas and then came back and
not been in had to have his business in a

(12:42):
specific place. Had it was I'm okay, it's all, it's
okay to shoot at me and fight for this country.
And then I come back and it's just like why
did I go? Well? Why did I go? Because when
the Navy recruiter was starting to talk to my brother,
me and my Momma, shut that all the way down. No,
you're not gonna fight for a country. How to kill you?
That sounds wild? Jack? How are you feeling what you

(13:04):
got to say? I was just gonna say that the
g I Bill was a specific uh instrument of of
redlining and white supremacy. The g I Bill after after
World War Two, after black people fought for the country,
they used the policies coming back from the war to

(13:25):
specifically institute white supremacy. But Jack, I don't mean to
put you on the spot, but how are you doing
with this right? Like? I know, I know you're not
a shitty white dude because when I worked for use
that I don't want to hire a bunch of white
guys here. Uh. And and I've seen you, like I know,
I know YouTube be a good, empathetic human being. But

(13:47):
I'm curious because I don't. I only know it from
the side of the oppressed person. And this whole weekend,
I'm thinking, like funk, I'm Japanese, I'm black. I have
like multiple examples to look at how the country just
fucking body slammed me. And I'm curious what it is
on the other side to have to say you know, what, what? What?
What is your experience like? Because the only experience I'm

(14:09):
seeing from from other people who are not black is
like them getting together, marching, talking to each other or whatever.
And I see the experience on that, and but I'm
curious to know what the emotions are or what that
experience is like because this, you know this, it seems
like a lot of people are being a lot more
introspective than normal. Yeah, I mean it's a lot of introspection,

(14:32):
a lot of rage, a lot of despair, rage about what?
Despair about? What? What are you mad about? What do
you say at it? And I'm not trying to put
you on the spot, I actually want to know. I mean,
you know, the white supremacy in the country is something
that I've been aware of for a long time and

(14:54):
been pointing out for a long time, like two miles
point on yesterday's episode the dailies, like I Star Show
has been pointing out there's white supremacy, there's examples of it,
but what what are we going to do about it?
And despair, I guess at looking at my own life
and realizing that I haven't done enough. I haven't done

(15:20):
enough other than pointing it out basically, so trying to
talk to my family about how we change how we're
living our lives to not support the status quo as
it exists, and then rage just at the status quo
and the fact that this is this keeps happening. Six

(15:43):
years ago, the solution was, well, let's retrain the police.
Let's you know, defund the or not defund the police.
Let's give them more funding to retrain the police, to
get more resources and and body cameras and ship like that,

(16:04):
and that just it just doesn't matter. It's I guess
it's a feeling of hopelessness and just a feeling that
how I've lived my life up to this point isn't
There needs to be more, a deeper change. So, you know,
I just want to point out that, you know, you
said you felt despair, and I don't think that's a

(16:25):
proper emotion, you know, all honesty for white people to
feel about this, because you guys are at the you
guys are at the drive, You are at the wheel
right now. You're at the wheel. We are not We're
asking we're asking the driver to drive us somewhere safe,
keeping off the road. And that's why I don't and

(16:47):
I don't mean like shame. You shouldn't feel despaired, but
I think any white person who feels despaired, you should understand.
Y'all have every reason to feel charged up right now
because you can. Actually there's a lot more you can
do with your privilege and your place and in the
as the hegemonic class and race in this country, to
really do something. We are out here. We were on empty,

(17:11):
but we still got the fucking pedal to the metal.
And I don't know how there is more gas going
into the engine, but we're doing it. The thing is
and this is what I was even saying last week.
The way this puzzle is finished is by everybody else
feeling the same way we do. And black death shouldn't
be obscure to white people. And this is an exercise
for anybody. Picture somebody in your family that died recently.

(17:33):
I don't care what race you are, that ship hurt,
didn't tragic, unsudden or an old age whatever. It's a
tragedy to have someone die in your life, a family member.
Now imagine if that family member was killed. How worse
would that feel? Probably worse because that's a lot. You

(17:53):
have a lot of time to to wrap your head
around illness and these other things. But to be tragically murdered,
that's awful. That's a pain that not many people know,
and not I don't wish many people to know. Now
at on top of that that the people you know
who killed you're a family member, and you're out there saying,
I have video evidence of this man killing my family member.

(18:18):
And then on top of that, you have a legal
system that looks at that evidence and says, I don't know,
it looked like he had hypertension and possible in toxicans.
And you tell me how that's a putt and we're
and suddenly we're gonna experience death differently. Fuck no, that
ship is absolutely degrading every time it happens, and it

(18:39):
still happens. That's why we are the ones that feel despaired,
because the facts are we look at evidence of ourselves
being killed all the time, and not a fucking thing
is happening about Meanwhile, white people have all the votes,
have all the money, have all the fucking power. You
can put all you could put all your you know,
do some fundraising whatever, I don't care what it is,

(19:00):
but y'all have the power that's not. You don't see
black companies saying, you know, we're gonna do our part
to hire more white people. That's not. That's because that's
not the game. Y'all are running the game, so you
know that's so, don't feel despaired. Feel empowered now because
y'all got the fucking star in Mario with that white privilege.

(19:20):
Now fucking run through these blocks and ship. I'll say this,
I can understand how you feel upset because you feel
like I'm one person trying to do some things right.
I'm trying to help, I'm trying to do that. I'm
trying to hire more black people. I'm trying to talk
to my family. I'm trying to do all of these things,
and you, as one person, feel like that you're doing

(19:43):
the best that you can to try to help. But
you know, you're just one person trying to do something right.
But you're not yelling, you're not screaming, you're not marching,
and nobody's dying around you. So that feeling that you have,
it's because I'm trying to fix it and nothing's changing, right,

(20:06):
that little feeling I'm trying to fix it and nothing's changing.
I'm doing whatever the little things that I can to
try to fix it right and realizing that I'm not
doing enough. Now, take that feeling and apply it to
an empire population of people who have been screaming for years,

(20:29):
stop killing us. We're not asked. It's for that feeling
because one thing that white people have been able to do,
they'll be able to see that this is a problem,
but they have not been able to feel anything that
we've felt. So that feeling that you have of I'm

(20:52):
only this one thing that I'm trying to do. I
am trying to fix it, and I don't know what
to do, and I keep trying, and I keep trying,
and I'm begging my head against the wall. Now take
that same feeling and then apply it to the entire
time we've been here, at least since emancipation, So from

(21:14):
eighteen six till today, that feeling and disperse it over
every single black person who's ever lived in the United States.
That's that small feeling that you have. Now add on institution, poverty,
institutional racism, beliefs, brutality, a broken fucking justice system, and

(21:38):
just people who are taught to be afraid of us.
TV teaches them and yet everything we create is every
bit of a music that plays in America. We made it.
We made it rock and Roll, all of it, Little Richard,
all of them all. We created everything that is quintessential America.

(22:04):
Right when people think about American food, they think about
Southern food that was made by my people. And yet
we're told constantly we don't contribute. So you're telling me
I'm not needed here. You're telling me I'm not wanted here.
But you steal from us constantly. So you kill us

(22:25):
to prove what you're saying. But then you also take
everything we've ever created from us. And then we have
the audacity to laugh and to yell, and to celebrate
and to be happy. So we continue to live by
the majority population has worked very hard to destroy us.

(22:52):
Because the main problem, the main problem is, like I said,
the abuser can't look at the victim and ask the
victim how to tell them? How how can I stop
abusing you? The problem is when you have these conversations,
the same people that can type into the Internet all
lives matter, or the same people that don't think that
they're racist. Whenever we have this conversation about how to

(23:17):
change things and how to make things different. Right, No
white person will say I am part of the problem.
That's what never happens. Nobody will acknowledge that they are
the problem. We're all talking about these mythical white people

(23:46):
that are the issue. Mm hmm, because every white person
is like, well, I'm not except that one. You gotta
flat out racist because someone will be like, oh, now,
I don't funk, what am I send him to jail?
I don't care. But most of have been taught you'd
be racist and you'd be quiet about it. So how
can you fix the system when the abuser won't acknowledge

(24:08):
that they are abusing? Right, That's the first thing that
has to happen. You have to go I am part
of the problem. You can't be part of the solution.
If you were the one causing the problem, you can
fix it. But how can you be part of the
solution while denying the fact that the issue was initialized

(24:32):
by everybody who looks like you. That's what has to
happen before these black squares and before you keep this
energy up and before you it's if this is going
to get fixed. It is not our job to fix it.
This is y'all because we didn't make this system. We
didn't start this system. We don't work in this system.

(24:56):
We didn't hop on them boats because we wanted to.
We were kidnapped and since then we've been still been
treated like we are owned. We always have. That's why
white women call the police on black people, because they
feel like that we are beholden to them. We have
to answer for where we are if we are in
their space. Yeah, we're in our own building and you're

(25:18):
calling the cops on that bitch. I live here, I
paid the rent here. But since you don't like me
in this space, I can die. You know what happens
when you called him like that Helfer that called the
cops on that man who was watching the birds. You
saw in the video how she changed her voice. She

(25:41):
knew exactly what to do. I didn't even have to
think about it. And apparently I heard Chicken Nightian, so
she didn't from here, and she know the campaign because
it's worldwide, and I think that's you can see it
all over the world too. It's worldwide, because this is
what the thing is. We can't go nowhere. I'm not

(26:08):
wanted here, I'm not even I'm not connected where I'm
genetically from I'm from here. But people can look me
dead in my face and go, well, if you don't
like this country, why don't you go back to Africa?
I sold this dude, if you don't like this country,
want you to go back to Europe. And he was like,
what do you mean? I was like France, I said, France, England, Ireland, Germany.

(26:30):
All of them places are not the United States of America.
We both got here on boats. So if I'm leaving,
you leaving, don't play with me, because if we don't
like the country, we can go back to Africa. If
these white folks don't like this country, nobody's telling them
to go back because they have innate ownership of this place.
We built the funk We literally built the fucking White House.

(26:54):
When they signed a declaration of independence, we handed them
to paper in depend I'm sorry, Quill, so don't start
with me. He We do this all day with y'all,
and then they wonder why we don't work. It seems
like with this particular protest, all the black people finally
figured out, you know what, they got to say something

(27:16):
to each other because y'all have made it quite clear
you're not listening to us, and I really have hope
for these police officers that I see kneeling and doing
all this other ship. I hope it's not a photo
of because when I first started seeing and I was like, Okay,
maybe things are changing. But this is a whole group

(27:37):
of people who have been trained to take orders. So
it's a we don't want no problems. Go out there,
and Neil and the other ones like fuck it, cut
them up. I don't know. I want to believe that
these men and women are actually motivated and can actually
see the humanity and as to Nil, but what I know,

(28:01):
if Shonda Rhymes and Scandal taught me anything, is that
a photo op optics are very important. But I hope
it's real. But at the same time, y'all have taught
me the rules of the game since day one. But
I know what the campaign is. I hope it's real. Right, Sorry, Nah,

(28:22):
And I think and yeah, we're gonna have Pastor Eddie
Anderson on to talk a little bit more, just about
what to do with all this energy. All right, let's
take a quick break and when we come back, we'll
have Pastor Eddie Anderson. And we're back, and Miles like

(28:48):
I mentioned earlier, you've been talking about not just focusing
on pointing out the problem, but also ways forward in
a solution. And you were able to a guest, uh,
Pastor Edward Anderson, Eddie Anderson, Pastor Eddie, who is going

(29:09):
to help us talk about that pass re Eddie, thank
you so much for joining us. Yeah, thank you for
having me on and jack him out. Yeah any time, Uh,
you know, Pastor Eddie, Like you know, I I got
to you through other activists and organizers, and I know
so I'm very thankful to them for putting us in
contact because I think, you know, we have a responsibility

(29:29):
as a show, like we do preach empathy, uh, equality
and justice on this show, and I think now is
it now is the time where we have to begin
giving people the tools they need to actually begin, uh
making those kinds of changes. So, you know, I wanted
to bring you on because there was a lot of
misconceptions about what happened in l A over the weekend,

(29:52):
uh in terms of peaceful protests and things like that,
and you've helped organize those things. So you know, we
just want to give you the time to just beats
everybody and and give us a bit of wisdom right now. Uh,
and and and and learn about what we can all
do to kind of help push this thing forward and
not let the flame die out. Thanks now? Yeah, yeah,
I want to address UH protests on Saturday. So I

(30:14):
worked with UM Black Lives Matter as a pastor advocate
at Pastor Church of South Los Angeles with Cardion More
Christian Church UM. And the protest was organized by Bill
Power and Black Lives Matter l A. Me and another pastor,
pastor Q. We led the protests. The march into the street,
right and so it's five thousand people plus into the street.

(30:37):
We march all the way from Third Street over there
by the Grove, all the way down to lasa Ennegau,
across every intersection. As we were coming down uh the street,
we saw people coming out of their businesses clapping. We
saw people hawking their horns, people saying black Lives matter.
We were clear were marching uh because of black death,

(31:00):
because George Floor's life was killed and he was lynched
in front of our eyes. But we also was marching
for our black future. UH that to claim that we
have dignity and respect. So yes, as black people, we
have the right to be angry. You're the right to
be mad, and we have the right to peacefuly protests
in the street, and so we prayed. We chanted, We

(31:23):
chanted prosecute killer cops. We chanted defund the police. Uh,
we chanted George Floyd's name, Brianna Taylor's name. We prayed
in the street. We said the asadom after we said
the asada, which is, you know, we have to lose.
But our chains um was let's protect one another. We
started walking back down the street, me and the other

(31:44):
past people let the protests, and what we saw unrabbled
before our eyes was police brutality. We saw, uh, cops
coming down the streets and armored trucks with riot gear
and guns ready to go, batons, a standoff being set up.
We saw a cop car on fire at third in

(32:04):
fair Effax. But when we just crossed as Sleep bout
thirty and forty five minutes before, there was no cop
car there, right, And so uh, we're saying, you know,
when you come to people with right gear, baton's and
rubber bullets, you will insight right right, you will change
the energy. What do you expect? Yeah, yeah, you know,

(32:24):
way like police are dressed like that because they almost
know their own karma. Yeah, like that they are almost like, man,
if they're as mad as as mad as I would
be for treating these people, I would be I would
pull up in tanks too. Yeah, I mean I think
police are are they know that the system of policing
has been wretched, that it stems from slave catching. Right,

(32:47):
is that it's been oppressing black people for since for centuries,
in decades, right, like this is it when you saw
what you saw in the streets was in response to
George Floyd, but it's also in response in l A
to black people being stopped five times that's more than
a white counterparts. It's also in response to enhancement and

(33:09):
gang databases. It's response to years and years of oppression. Uh,
and seeing the disparities in our country and our economy,
especially in l A. And then you're given the police
a raise. Right of the l A budget is going
towards police at three point one billion dollars. Excuse me,

(33:30):
We're in the middle of a global pandemic. If we
couldn't figure out how to get health workers who are
risking their lives check the gear they needed, how to
make sure people get tested in time, right, So it's like,
but they got many flash bangs and rubber bullets, right,
you know in drums. You know, I think a lot
of the work that you do is so important and

(33:51):
and the thing about a moment like this, I'm sure
is you see a lot of energy, uh for people
to act. And I think a lot of people all
the same kind of will to begin to do something.
And I think a lot of people as the takes
I see on social media and like watching other people
like you know what, well, what's what's the next part?

(34:12):
Like what are we gonna do next? And things like that,
And I think not that there has to be like
this is the one thing, but you know, can can
you speak a bit to helping people, like like, what's
the vision of the future for people to begin to
buy into so they know the kinds of things that
their support is going to be needed. That's a good question. Uh.
The next step is to your anger for your pain

(34:35):
and organize and mobilize. Right. Uh, we're in the middle
of an election year. So you saw yesterday, Uh there
was an action at the Mayor's house, right, shutting it
down to the Maor's house for the people's budget l A.
And that's simply we we survey over ten thousand Angelino
an accident. What's your priority for a budget? Is it

(34:55):
to give the police a raise? Or do you want
more healthcare? Better schools? Do you want to embed us
and our neighborhoods, make sure that black communities have an
economy of care black and brown communities. Right, So that's
the next was budget l A. That budget fight we
saw yesterday. The budget went into effect, but then you
saw right away the city council president tweet and say,

(35:16):
like the bludge is not done yet. You know, we
still gotta gott do this work. And it's like to
t you plugging in there today at three pm, we'll
be going the ejaculation office. For two years, Black Lives
Matter has been organized in this product. This protest says,
prosecute killer cops. The six hundred and one death in
l A their officer involved, right, you know, and so

(35:37):
only two of them have even had charges and none
of them have really been prosecuted. Uh, there's an election
in November where we can get rid of Jackie Lacey
once and for all. It gets doing in the office.
Who actually would take black trauma, black death seriously and
prosecute people who are killing our people. Right, So that's
another thing, Right, how do we plug in and make

(35:58):
sure we're voting in elections? You want a practicular cup,
so you want to make sure you're going to get
a d a that can do that as well. These
are waiting you can plug in and channel your anger
as well as show up in the street. Mm hmm, Miles,
do you think what what do you think are good
places for it? Because I've seen that pointed out as
a as a solution to or anyone as a solution

(36:23):
is like to vote on your local elections, Like do
you do you guys have any resources that people can
use to kind of research that local stuff. I just like,
are we just like going with the local paper to like, yeah,
the misinformation because like you said at the top, like

(36:46):
they're everything, the local news, the local media, everything is
so shot through with misinformation and you know, capitalism and
white supremacy that it's it feels hard right now. The
best way to get access to the information that Pastor

(37:06):
Eddie was talking about is on social media, which like
typically people are like, don't trust social media, like social media,
but like that's the only place that you're finding out
the fucking truth right now. Like so in terms of
like what with the solution? How do we research the
solution when everything is so corrupt? Yeah, I think there's

(37:28):
uh coalitions that have been doing this work in l
A that you can ampify. So Justice l A have
been doing the work around should we close prisons? Uh,
the account that the d A Coalition for Justice and
Accountability to highlighting the d A race. Uh, the Appeal
is doing good work on this as well. And then
of course follow b l M l A, follow the

(37:49):
Movement for Black Lives, follow re form l A Jails,
which is highlighting how do we do this work? Students
deserves as another organization l A voice as well. But
also I would encourage people to just be as active
as possible. If you can't find it, search for it,
because if you're if you're it's it'll be too easy

(38:10):
to say, well, I didn't know who to vote for
because I couldn't find the thing. Well, start understanding your
own community, Start knowing who the people are that maintaining
these kinds of systems of oppression and so, because when
you can identify them and their transgressions, it's much easier
to say, oh, that's somebody who I shouldn't vote for,
even though they might have a D next to their
name when I go to the poll, that's not somebody

(38:32):
I should vote for. Because I think the next step
also too is finding you know, like you said, there's
an election coming up, so now is also a very
important time to begin demanding more from your leaders as well,
and say, well, where do you stand on black lives
and and and can you can will you, out loud
in a speech say that systemic white supremacy is an issue?

(38:53):
And will you say that out loud to your constituents
because if you don't, I don't know if I can
trust you to solve that problem because you can't even
identify it, right. And I think those are the those
are the things that we also need to begin to
demand more from our leaders as well. And that can
be as proactive as calling your representative now and say, hey,
I'm gonna vote for you, but just so you know,
I'm I'm I I want an agenda from you as

(39:14):
a leader that addresses systemic injustice and racial injustice and
all of these things. As as a voter, that's one
thing too, Uh, I'll think you straight on, because you know,
the city council president said we're gonna start debate again
on sixth eight for the city budget. You can call
your lected official, the ones who have been silent during

(39:35):
the protests, and say, hey, here's the way you can help.
You can reinvest the money that you're going to spend
on things that we need on health, on healthcare, you
reinvested on on schools. Right we're in the middle of
a global pandemic. You can shift those resources right now.
It doesn't have to be this way right past. Another
thing I want to talk about is your work with

(39:56):
the Poor People's Campaign, because that that is is really
a continuation of work that was starting decades ago, right um.
And you know, I think it's important for people to
understand like what the Poor People's Campaign is as well,
because I think we're you know a lot of a
lot of these injustices that we're gonna overcome is because

(40:16):
we're we have solidarity. Like we're saying before we had
you on, it's not just enough for black people to
let their pain be known and these injustices known. It's
also we also need everybody else's help to steer this
ship in the right way. So I would love to
also give you a second to tell people about the
Poor People's Campaign. The Purpose campaign is continuing where Dr
Hartis King and others started in the night when he

(40:39):
was assassinated. Uh. Nationally is led by my good friend
or Reverend William Jay Barber and Lithio Harris. Uh. It's
basically just saying that there are still a hundred forty
five million for people in America. In California, that's one
and four children are poor, that's one and four women
are poor. It shows up as black women in l

(41:02):
A being around seventy of their money on rent. It
shows up in an incarcerated uh system, systematic incarceration in
our systems. And so we're saying we need moral clarity,
We needed horror revival, UH, and we need to highlight that, uh,
poverty does not have to be a problem in this nation,

(41:23):
especially in California, where we have the fifth largest economy
in the world. Uh. And yet we have the second
highest homeless rate in the entire nation. Right. L A
County has a high homeless rate in any city in
the country. Right. Uh. And we aren't talking about black
lives matter. Yeah, black lives matter because of the people

(41:47):
who are on the streets are black, but yet we're
less than non percent the population. Ar right, So let's
so let's talk about what we're really doing to solve
the problem. Problems campaign highlighting that across the country. They're
getting ready. We're getting ready for a moral digital march
because we're gonna do a march on Washington on June.

(42:07):
That's now online via zoom the Port's campaign dot org
to see that info or you can follow me Instagram
and because I posted them that as well. Awesome. Is
anything else you wanted to discuss before we let you
go past? Ready? Yeah? I just I want to encourage
people continue to show up in the street. Um, continue
to protest, make your voice known, follow the movements that

(42:30):
are doing the work. Put your dollars in those movements
as well. People are getting arrested right now. We're in
the militarized state. Uh so the curfew, we're hearing every night,
people are getting rested. If you can help the people
out do that as well. We need your voice. This
is your movement, your revolution. Uh and it's time to
time for now to turn up in the streets. Thanks
so much for visiting us, Pastor Eddie, where can people

(42:53):
kind of follow the work you do? And it just
if they want to direct anybody to anywhere, please let
them know. You can follow me on a Graham its
Eddie l. Anderson. You can follow BLM l A to
forgot the works of going on. I thought people's budget
l A cortance campaign dot org. All right, let's take
a quick break and we'll be back. And we're back. Sorry,

(43:24):
I disappeared. The l A curfew notification came through and
knocked me out of zoom uh for the last couple
of minutes of Pastor Eddie's conversation. Apologies, did you see
the footage of the people in Philadelphia, the like roving

(43:47):
gangs of white dudes with fat walking around after after curfew?
Like we we talked on yesterday's episode about the kind
of racist history of the curfews in America, but that
was talking about the racist history of Pennsylvania or America. WHOA,

(44:08):
It's like we have to keep zooming out, you know,
like we get so we get we have so many
examples that are the microscopic version that we always try
and solve it at the microscopic level when we really
need to have the ten thousand foot altitude discussion about
all of this, because if if we're not addressing all
that ship underneath, it's gonna keep happening. Yeah, because when

(44:30):
y'all asked me what myth I wanted to talk about, um,
the myth that I had was that America likes to
America exactly like that. The South is the only place
that's racist. That's the biggest smith, the biggest smith. Come

(44:52):
to l A. Come to l A here, come on down.
I lived in l A before I moved to New York. Gus,
what come to New York. Guess what go to Chicago?
Guess what go to Fort Wade, Indiana, or Arkansas or
the entire United States of America. So yeah, I think
that's the moment. And I talked about it all the

(45:13):
time because these Yankees really feel like that they let
that there. Well what do you Well, I'm not And
like that's what I said in my half hour. I
know y'all are more racist. Y'all split up white people,
Italian neighborhoods, Irish neighborhoods. My neighbor rich people was a

(45:36):
Greek neighborhood Boston. And I also said people all the time.
People have always heard this, and it's apparently there's something
they don't say. I've heard, you know, more than once
in my life, and only from white people. For the
most part. It's you get your bachelors, say, you get
your bachelors and racism in the South, you get your
masters in Boston. So that's a whole different Like y'all

(46:00):
are y'all are splitting up white people? Who has the
time to get that specific with a racist? And I
was like, oh, y'all can't put y'all cannot put this
on one place in this country. It is wild to me.
There were sundowntowns all over the country. There was red

(46:20):
lining all over the country. Ore Agon was created as
a white haven state. Black people were not even too
allowed to live there because the Civil War sympathizer created
the state. Uh Confederate sympathizer created the state. So I
think that's the big one of the big myths in
America is that we like to act like that racism

(46:48):
only occurs in thirteen states that are kissed by the sun. No,
I'm not, I can't. I really, I'm over this game.
I'm over this game because there's a map of all
of the shootings of an armed black people. If the
South was so much more racist, there should be way

(47:08):
more shootings in the South. Yeah, and there isn't. It's
all over the country because the police are all over
the country, because black people are all over the country.
So I and that's another thing is white people not
being accountable for what they're doing because you can point
the finger at them because you already see Southern ass backlards,

(47:29):
you know, backwards and two lists and shoot lists and
all of this. Because someone's like, well that's just what
I think about, you know, the South, and like you know, Georgia,
and I'm like, we had an Olympics. Stop it if
we was that backwards, they when it gave us a
damn Olympics, calm the hell down, Okay, yeah, yeah, And

(47:51):
I think it's back to the thing of like white
supremacy will always find ways of preserving itself by changing
the discussion or not having a discus. USh and on
white supremacy, because objectively white supremacy is bad, and there's
not a person who can stand on that foot without
looking like an absolute you know, fill in you know,
all right, thinker here, But it's on its face there's

(48:13):
not a person to be like, uh, you know, no,
white supremacy is good, and if you are, that's a
very specific person. But if you're not constantly talking about it,
you won't be able to begin to see all the
ways it's manifesting in our society. And I think that's
why we get so caught up. It's going to be
a lot easier for people to say we'll change the
police and change how we police thinks and just solve

(48:34):
that problem, rather than going further out and say, well,
no, no no, hold on, hold on, uh, you're not even
The police is already uh, a manifestation of white slavery
from its roots in slavery. So we can't even we
can't even have a discussion about that because we're not
going far back enough and we're not looking at the

(48:54):
totality of it. We've all seen enough episodes of law
in order to know that the police are the first step.
M h, that's your first step. The police are the
first ones I deal with. The next one that I
deal with is the court system. Now, the policing is

(49:15):
inherently biased, and inherently racist, and inherently a tool of
white supremacy. The court system is inherently biased, inherently racist,
and a tool of white supremacy. Because the main example
you can give is the difference in sentencing for powdered

(49:36):
cocaine and crack cocaine. They're both cocaine, but since this
one got cooked, you go to jail longer. But who
did it? Mhm. And so when you talk about because
this is because one day, you know, I was, I

(49:58):
was talking to some people about, you know, people about
this opioid crisis. And I and me and another black
person said, my um, sympathy for this is going to
be a little lacking. And they said why. I said,

(50:19):
because this opioid epidemic has happened, and now we're all required,
we're all being asked to have sympathy for the attics.
We're supposed to have sympathy for these people. This is
a mental health problem. This is an issue. When the
crack epidemic happened, you sent people to jail. When the

(50:41):
mess epidemic happened, and that was white people, you sent
them to jail. You sent black people to jail, You
sent poor white people to jail. But because the people
that can afford these opioids and middle middle class and hired.
Now all of a sudden we have a health crisis.

(51:06):
We've already had to drug epidemics before that. What is
the difference now, it's what the people look like? What
do the addicts look like? Because we forget another tool
of white supremacy is institutional poverty. Because the greatest thing

(51:29):
that the Republican Party ever did was convinced poor white
people that they had their best interests in mind. And
those same people who don't realize because I know the
American dreamed on a ply to me, you're the Constitution,
when when Africans were being enslaved. So I know this

(51:50):
from day one. This wasn't for me. But if you're
white in this country, this document was written for you.
But when you think about it, when it was written,
when the Constitution was written, only white men who owned
land could vote. So if you are currently a poor

(52:11):
white person who who doesn't own anything, they weren't talking
about you, and they've never been talking about you, and
yet they've convinced you that the reason that your life
is the way that it is not because they have
defunded your neighborhoods kept your kids uneducated, kept you in
a place where you're always going to have to be

(52:32):
a servant class to them. They've told you the reason
you live like this because bootstrapping is a myth. We
know that, but you've sold them on bootstrapping and told
them you live like this because these black people are
doing good. You live like this because these immigrants are
coming and taking your jobs. It's not us. We didn't

(52:55):
do anything. We care about family values. We care about
families in the American dream. They're not talking about the
fact that they made jab pull all those cold out
of mountain. Now there's no jobs. We send all the
factories overseas. There's no jobs. Yeah, look whose pockets are fatter.

(53:17):
It's not like all the all the stats that you
know you look at for black people in this country.
It's not that you go, Black America is thriving. White
people be on alert because I don't know where this
money is going. I think it's going to Black America.
Are you fucking look at the state of our lives
and tell me that we're that we're taking something from you? No,

(53:38):
look at the people look above you. Now, look at
the billionaires that padded their pockets during the pandemic. Somehow,
how did that happen? But tender rappers got money, so
the black people money exactly because remember where a mono lift. I,
me and you in this conversation to a lot of

(54:00):
people are listening, Me and Miles now represent every single
black person in this country. Jack represents Jack. Jack gets
to be one person. We are millions of people on

(54:20):
this conversation. That's difference. I didner interview and the girl
tried to insinuate to me that because I am a
quote unquote black celebrity, and she goes, well, you're a celebrity.
I said, no, girl, I'm on TV. That's that's two
different things. It's like, well, what do you mean? I said,
When I walk into a restaurant, they don't get excited.
They asked me how many? So when they start getting excited,

(54:42):
that's when I'm gonna yeah. Instead of saying, ma'am, there's
a fifteen minute wait. No, I want you to shout
the whole restaurant down. Your girl is in the building,
I can't who's that. I'm here for your finest tack water,
you know? So or is my mama like to call

(55:02):
it housewine. But she was trying to insing and she
was Basically she was saying, because I am a black
person who is well known, I will I am dealing
with less racism. And I said, I you don't understand
how this And I heard that ship too growing up
because I grew up predominantly around white people, and hey,

(55:26):
they're not learning that I'm actually diminishing my own blackness
to be able to operate in their white space as
a child, like I'm already like. All it took was
a few comments from a teacher to correct the way
I spoke for me to say, oh, okay, and my
mama did that. My mom and my grandmother like no, no, no, no,
no no no. You were going you you have to

(55:47):
speak a certain way if you were going to get
a good job. Don't get me wrong. I was also
told that too. That was all these are. This is
all part of the so you want to make it
in America starter, kid, First learn how to make yourself
some all are less imposing, less threatening, speak as fla
fucking smiley and wide eyed as possible, so people aren't
afraid of you. But then there's this other thing too,

(56:09):
where people say, well, you're not black black, you know,
like you're half black or whatever. Let me tell you something,
I still see my family being killed when I see
black people mistreated. I still see the all this injustice
happening as being a part of who I am. It's
that's just based on your media informed definition of what
a black person. So that's you wanting to be okay

(56:32):
with knowing me. So I'm not black black first of all,
and that goes you know, I've talked to various black
actors and we've all talked about being in auditions and somebody.
We've all seen Hollywood show it's the same thing. But
according to America, there was very much this one drop
role mentality. In some places it was an actual law

(56:54):
and when drop roll show sweetheart, you're great great great
grandmother could have been black and you're black. That's what
the whole movie show Boat is about. So for me,
it's there's no way that I can look at somebody
and you know, sometimes it is a thing I think
one people treat what the mixture is differently. It's well,

(57:19):
you're black and what because I'm also going to figure
out how to take you in as black people what
they mix with? Let miss what Puerto Rican. I just
just needed to speak Spanish, he's fine, or it's what
black and white? What a mama stake black and Asian?

(57:41):
All the kids just pretty alright, fine, like we have
this like okay, give me what the other one is
so I can figure out how to act. But it's
I'm not, you know, I'm mostly according to the paperwork,
and I'm going to because it's like I have a
friend who's half Middle Eastern, half white, but she her

(58:05):
physical features present more as white, so she is treated
like a white woman, and she tells people all the
time knowing, you know, my father's Middle Eastern, my father
has Middle East, and everyone's like, yeah, that's cute. So
you'd only be taken in that's how you look. And
I've lived in a lot, you know, and I've lived

(58:25):
in predominantly white places. I've lived predominantly black places I've
lived in. But most of my life I lived in
very mixed. I lived in very mixed, like neighborhood has mixed,
middle school, high school, and I grew up in Atlanta,
So I'm accustomed to seeing black money. I'm accustomed to
seeing black excellence. Been in the King's Center, Martin Luther

(58:45):
King's House, my brother Evan he's a Baptist church did
all of this. So you can't tell me that I'm
not great. You can't tell me we can't do great stuff.
And you have proof that we can't. Yeah, because you've
seen us do it. They they just spent five weeks

(59:07):
celebrating it with the last dance, right, So what do
we what? Wait? What do we? What do we? What
are we doing? And so I think it's gotten to
the point where it's just like we're in the middle
of the because this is the hardest thing about what's
going on right now. As as black people, when these
things happen, you get around your friends, you're in a

(59:30):
safe space and I don't know, always use the turn
and safe space because all these girls talking about safe space,
save space, safe face girl, I'm in America. Ain't know
where safe but it's at my mama house. That's the limit.
Um tell about the pandemic. Mm hmm, the pandemic. It's
and I'm trying to find the best way to explain
that because I know how I feel m whenever things

(59:54):
like this happened, whenever there's this you know, now we're
marching again, and now you know, even during the march
somebody else got killed. They're not listening to us, they're
not paying attention. You have the opportunities to be around
other black people and I don't have to say anything.
I don't have to tell somebody I'm okay. I don't
have to do I don't have to go through all
of this emotional labor trying to make you feel okay,

(01:00:17):
because that's the other part, because if they feel like
they didn't make us feel better, then not going through
the emotional labor making you feel better for not making
me feel better. This is not this is not fair
to me. You call to make me feel better. Man,
Hey man, get off my phone, because you know what,
you're not gonna get it. You don't even go to
the school, so you're not gonna get it. But you

(01:00:37):
have the opportunity usually when things like this happened, to
be around other black people and to be in a
space where I don't have to tell you what's wrong,
and we can heal off the energy of each other
and get that little boost that you need to just
be like all right, let's go do this again. And
now we're in a pandemic, so it's I can't be

(01:00:58):
around my friend, I can't get that recharge. I can't
get that that thing of you get it. Yeah, I'm
not on my phone yell right, I'm not yelling into
the void of the internet. It's you're just like you
just get to sit there and you're just like I am.
With black people, I am good. Even if we're you know,

(01:01:19):
even if we're at a comedy club, we're in a
white space. All of us are here and everybody here
gets it, and it's a way to heal in the recharge.
And we can't do that right. And that's one of
the hardest parts about this. And now they're talking about
the numbers might go back up with the COVID because
of the protest, and I'm just like, what is I

(01:01:40):
want to refund? Next year needs to be also called
because we need to do it. History it was, and
then it was two. Everybody's the same age. You ain't
getting no older fucking doing birthday party. This did not
happen where you want to reset, don't print one. Calendar

(01:02:02):

in the matrix. I don't know who's god you piste off,

It was awful, but there's four vignettes in it. In

about her show THEA and how you know, back in

was doing and he was like, what can't come for me?
And he just push up with two hands, and he
just push us with one hand. And he tried to

(01:04:56):
do push us with no hands and then he just
falls on his stack and rolls. He's just going. It's
very it's very silly. Um. He has conversations with himself
like he's with his homeboy. It's it's I love it.

live in the same building, You're fine, but the audacity
even type out a lie like that, because again, and
I hate to come back into the content of the show,

(01:07:33):
but they need this version of what is happening out
here to delegitimize what the reason is for this uprising.
So then all they can do is be like, I
don't know if people are mad and they're just burning
stuff down. This is really ridiculous and everything's not a
padagon in the store in Santa Monica when a boy
left on the skateboard and just brain pulled off on
a motorcycle, yeah, exactly. You know that wasn't us come
