Speaker 2 (00:17):
Welcome to your Midweek Memo on the Black Information Network
Daily Podcast with Me ramses Jaw and I am q Ward.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
All Right.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
First up from the Black Information Network, A white supremacist
hate group marched in downtown Kansas City amid Memorial Day celebrations.
According to KCTV, Patriot Front white supremacist hate group convened
in downtown Kansas City wearing white face masks, hats, and
sunglasses to obscure their faces, along with matching khaki and
navy outfits. Patriot Front members carried altered or upside down
(00:52):
American flags as they took over the city ahead of
Memorial Day. Videos online showed the groups the groups all Right,
loading into several large U haul trucks before departing to
another location.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
We condemn this attempt to promote white supremacy and urge
all community leaders and elected officials to similarly reject racism
and all other forms of bigotry unquote, ker Kansas City
Board chair Musa L. Bayoumi said in a statement. Kansas
City Mayor Quentin Lucas also spoke out about the gathering,
(01:24):
calling out the calling out, tweeting about the group's gathering,
and in that he called out the group's message of
hate and cowardice. In a video shared on ex Thomas Russeo,
the rally's leader, delivered a speech during which he claimed
that a war was being waged against white people. Quote,
we are disenfranchised, demoralized, and downtrodden people. He added, all right,
(01:48):
so I see your face, so have AEDITQ?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And what world is any of that true? Or has
it ever been true?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Has it ever been?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
But especially now?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Right like y'all up right now, y'all won, like y'all
won the whole thing. The credits roll. There was a parade.
There's another parade coming up from what we've been told, Like,
what are you talking about? And the strange thing in
watching the videos is the lack of law enforcement resistance.
(02:24):
When we organize and gather anywhere, they show up in
riot gear, even if we're praying, even if we're gathered
to pray they show up in riot gear. But white nationalists,
white supremacist, racist hate groups get to march through cities
with either police escort or police protection, never police resistance.
(02:49):
I wonder why.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
You know, one of the things that I learned in
the early days of my protesting career is a chant.
You know, protests have like these chants, and I'll never
forget this because it's so potent. But everyone was shouting,
there's no riot here, why are you and riot gear?
(03:13):
And I think that that kind of embodies how the
police kind of uphold the state. You know, they love
the idea of we protect the people, but they uphold
the state and they protect really some people. The rest
of us are kind of at their mercy. And you know,
it's funny because I shared a picture with you. We
(03:33):
were going to talk about it on Civic Cipher, but
we didn't. We didn't end up talking about it. Not
a picture of video, and it was of I'll try
to explain it to you listening, but it was one
police officer and two gentlemen. The police officer was trying
to apprehend one gentleman. They were all standing around right
in the frame of the shot, and the gentleman sort
(03:55):
of backs up and adopts an aggressive posts. All these
people are white, by the way. The officer then takes
out his taser and tases the man who's like adopting
the aggressive stance. The man then falls to the ground.
The other gentleman standing with the police officer then like
puts the officer in a headlock and slams the officer
to the ground. Right the first guy gets up from
(04:19):
being tased. He gets up, then walks over to the officers.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
On the ground. His buddy's holding the officer.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Down starts kicking the police officer. So now the officer
is getting jumped and then he gets you know, five
six kicks in something like that, and then his buddy
gets up and it's like, all right, I stop kicking him.
And then there's other people kind of running to help
the officer. And from what I understand, the rest of
that story goes that everybody went home and everybody lived
(04:46):
happily ever after. And it's crazy that, you know, I
don't really have to say this, but you can imagine
if that was any other race, that it would be first.
It wouldn't like it's so hard to imagine it happening
from any other race. The people who are the most
entitled are the people that do that.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
It's hard to imagine it because you've never.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Seen it, right, But also the flip side of that is,
if that happens, there's a gun. This guy has a gun,
so he's gonna pulls a gun out and start shooting
people if they're black. You know, this guy just gets
up and he's like getting back to his feet and
gating is.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You know, when you're white, you get to jump the
cops and list wild. When you are black, you get
shot in the back running away from the cops.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Now, in terms of them, they claim that they were afraid.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
And that crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
But the thing about this thing is, first off, I
want to point out that these people are out there
in sunglasses and face masks and whatever to cover their identity.
First off, that is an active cowardice in and of itself.
The second thing is that they're wearing like a flag
(05:54):
paraphernalia or whatever on Memorial Day. And for people that
are so you know, quote unquote respectful of the flag,
people that are anti Colin Kaepernick, don't disrespect the flag.
That sort of people, right, These people don't follow flag
code at all and there.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Are laughing, But it's because even then you and I
knew it had nothing to do with the flow.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
No, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And was that not while he why he was kneeling.
But that's also not why they were upset. Yes, exactly,
and we knew that then, Yes, and they prove it
to us every every opportunity they guess exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Let's move on.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Obviously the mayor and all these people had to speak
out against it. But okay, the final thing is that
these people are talking about war being waged against white people,
and that is absolutely something that exists. It's a fear
that exists in the mind of white folks. They it's
a white man in particular. You know.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
The strange thing though, it's not a fear that exists
in Thomas Russo's hit. M Yeah, the leader, like the
guy who sang it, that fear doesn't exist in his head.
He just knows the gullible people that he can manipulate.
I see what you're saying, have that fear in their head.
That's the Trump maneuver. So let me stoke that fear
(07:13):
in them. He doesn't think that as they load in
their U haul trucks with their masks and their upside
down flags and march through the city in a very
intimidating and bully tactic sort of way. He doesn't think
they're being displaced or there's a war. There's a war
against you while you march down the street peacefully and
nobody bothers you.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
That's the war you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And you're disenfranchised and demoralized and downtrodden. Now, the thing is,
typically these pro white groups, they are opposed to any
other group who affirms the rights and the equitable treatment
of bona fide marginalized groups. So they say, well, black
(08:00):
people have the NAACP, and you know brown people have
you know their organizations, get people have their organisation, blah
blah blah. We need a white organization to protect the
interest of white people, right, And so this is the
got the framework of the of their thinking and their strategy,
ignoring the fact that the entire construct of the country
(08:21):
is that for them. So they go through and make
these it's very origin exactly, so it's all for for
white There's there's no place where white folks can go.
I think Lewis c.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
K says something.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
He's like, you know, I can get in a time
machine and travel to any period in history and walk in,
walk into a restaurant and they'd be like, right.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
This way, or your table is ready for you.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And he's like black people, if they had the opportunity
to get in a time machine, they'd be like, nah,
I'm not trying to go back to no other time
in history.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Right.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
So it's just.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Funny, ironically, isn't true anymore? Yeah, well, I guess now
we go back to the eighties.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Or til Obama's administered some somewhere we at least feel
a little safe.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Well, yeah, I mean Obama's administration isn't far enough a
go and doesn't last long enough.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah that's fair, right, So you go back.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
To the eighties, so you still get to come into
some growth, some growth start at Obama. You only had
a couple of years left for you right back here.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, that's fair, that's fair. But you know, we had
to share that with you. And you know, one of
the things we say around here when we see it is,
you know, the Trump effect.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
We call it out.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
So that's exactly what that is. These people are still
in their own words, demoralized, disenfranchised, and downtrodden. Despite winning
the election, despite having a white supremacist in the Oval office,
who is deporting people, who's rolling back DEI, who's doing
all this sort of getting rid of black everything everything,
and women everything and gay everything. And Nope, it's just
(09:40):
y'all now. And they still are disenfranchised, sore winners. So
I don't want to hear anything about the victim mentality anymore, right.
Next up is from the Black Information Network. Boston's Museum
of African American History is among the latest art and
humanities institutions that have been hit by funding cuts from
the Trump administration.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Per CNN, speak.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Of the devil, keep telling me that he's not racist.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
For six decades, the museum has transported its visitors to
the past, giving individuals a look into black history, from
a two hundred year old meetinghouse where abolitionists like Frederick
Douglass spoke, to a walk through the halls where black
soldiers wants rallied to fight in the Civil War. The
museum also offered programs for children to learn about African
American history. These programs are now at risk after the
Trump administration moved to cancel its federal grant, saying the
(10:25):
funding quote no longer serves the interests of the United States.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Black history no longer serves the interest of the United States. Yep,
the United States of America v. Black history. Wow, that's
where we are. But I'm going to share this quote.
I will forever remember that line.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
This is from the museum's director, doctor Noel Trent, According
to a statement, she goes on to say, we were
very much embedded into key moments of this country's history.
How is that not of interest to the United States
and the American people?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Unquote.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Boston's Museum of African American History had won a five
hundred thousand dollars grant from the Institute of Museum and
Library Services to support school trips and educational programs, and
now they are going to have to figure out how
to stay open. So one of the things I will say,
because we know that this is bad, we know that
(11:18):
this is sad, and this is news that we have
to talk about, but it is not impossible to support
these institutions, particularly folks who are.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
In that part of the country.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You know, people who recognize that having this resource in
that part of the world matters and we're all getting pinched.
But if everybody does a little bit, we can save
institutions like that. And I don't know if there's half
(11:48):
a million people to give a dollar each, I don't
know if there's you know, fifty thousand people to give
ten dollars, I don't know if it's you know what
the number is, but you know, to each according to
their means. You know, we can support these institutions and
we can affirm their their value because let's let's be
(12:12):
let's understand the strategic nature of these attacks. They're attacking
the funding, they're not They haven't yet made it illegal
to have a museum that celebrates black history. They're working
on it, yes, but at present it's a dream of theirs.
It's not a reality. And if they kill us at
this step, then they don't even need to worry about
(12:33):
that step. So this is how we fight. We donate
when we see that our institutions are under attack. Hey,
what's up?
Speaker 1 (12:40):

That's civ c cip h e er right here in

Information Network Daily Podcast with your hosts Rams's Jaw and
q Ward.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
All right.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Next up from the Black Information Network, a black employee
at a Chick fil A has filed a lawsuit alleging
that he endured racist abuse from coworkers who called him
ape oof and threatened to put him in a cage
and threatened to be put in a case sorry. According
to the lawsuit obtained by The Independent, Thomas Wade, a
former Chick fil Aid worker in Idaho, faced incessant racial
(13:41):
discrimination at the franchise, despite filing dozens of complaints to
his superiors. Quote of course he works at a Chick
fil A. He's black, so he loves chicken unquote. One
coworker allegedly told Wade Wade started working as a cook
on the back of house crew at the Chick fil
A in Idaho Falls in.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
December twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
During one instance of abuse, Wade attempted to intervene when
he saw two of his coworkers, one of whom was
the supervisor's son, and taggonizing a third employee. According to
the suit, quote, in response to his attempts to intervene
and defuse the situation, the son told Wade shut up
ape before I put you in a cage. The complaint states.
When Wade said he was planning to report the incident
(14:21):
to management, the supervisor's son allegedly called him monkey looking
a word and warned him that quote my parents own
this store.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
The complaint details another incident where Wade was told he
was a piece of antique farming equipment in reference to
slavery wow. On another occasion, Wade allegedly saw one of
his supervisor's sons whipping another colleague with a towel. The
son told Wade that he would know about getting whipped
since he's black. His supervisor's daughters allegedly said Wade looked
(14:54):
like a monkey and acted like a monkey. Wade also
found a variation of the in word written in the
kitchen freezer, the complaint states, according to a complaint sorry.
According to the complaint, Wade made roughly twenty five to
thirty reports to Chick fil A management.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
About the racist abuse, to no avail.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
He was fired on October sixteen, twenty twenty three, quote
because he refused to tolerate and continued to report racist
behavior and comments by his coworkers unquote. The owner of
the franchise, Learned Mustellar Incorporated of Woodstock, Georgia, responded to
the allegations in court earlier this month, denying each and every.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Complaint.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Wade's lawsuit seeks to hold the franchisee accountable for discrimination,
hostile work environment, retaliation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Who I know that was a long win in our
next one is going to be long too, so buckle up.
But wow, for me, my mind goes to, you know,
if there's a person working at a Chick fil A,
(15:49):
they're probably younger and young people I think in my mind,
especially that young still deserves some protection and to be
out there kind of getting your feet wet in the
real world and that's kind of your first taste of it.
That's got to be so demoralizing. But obviously my issue
(16:11):
is with the parents of the other people who work there,
because they obviously raised them in a way that you know,
this sort of stuff wasn't stomped out. And you know,
we talk about the Trump effect quite a bit. I'm
sure that that had a lot to do with these
people feeling like they can get all of these bars
off since you know, Donald Trump's first election, you know
(16:33):
a lot of people who harbor racist sentiments feel a
little bit more empowered getting them off.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
So it's kind of a sad story.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Every time I see our president, I can't believe he's
our president. I can't believe that he was ever our
president and then now our president again, and that people
like this do and have always hated us for not
(17:04):
we didn't do anything to you.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Ever, Yeah, you did something to us, over and over
again throughout all of history.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
You do something to us, and this idea that we
that we're ever gonna gather up and seek revenge, we
have so much time that shows we have no interest
in doing so, and you still seek us out to
hate us more. And the kid was right, he could
(17:35):
get it off. This kid gets fired, and this kid
still gets to be rich.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
His parents are on the store.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Well, I'm gonna you know, full disclosure. I don't eat
a Chick fil A anyway. Well, I don't spend a
Chick fil A. They'll never get my money because of
their stance on lgbt Q IA plus communities.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
What about their stands on white supremacy.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Well, I mean I already made my decision before that
came out, so they can't get less than zero from me.
But yeah, I made that choice back in the day
when they were like, they were like investing in some
sort of whatever it was to I couldn't tell you
what it was, but I made up my mind about them.
And because I didn't want to be a hypocrite, and
I couldn't come on the radio and ask people to
(18:26):
support my people and support my cause and not be
willing to keep that same energy when other people are
being harmed by corporations or institutions or whatever. So if
there are people who are not black, gay people who
were willing to stand with me, and we saw that
(18:46):
in twenty twenty, there was gay people out there standing
with us when it comes down to support gay people.
I'm gonna stand with them. And when Chick fil A
start talking crazy, I was like, they ain't gonna get
my money no more. I don't care what your chicken
taste like. All right, Next up, it's from the Atlanta
Black Star. A viral social media video showing a San
Bernardino police officer viciously body slamming a seventeen year old
girl last week has sparked outrage and calls for an
(19:08):
independent investigation. All right, buckle up, this one's going to
be long, and I apologize in advance. The brutal arrests
occurred the afternoon of May twenty first, outside a grocery
store in the five hundred block of West second Street.
Police responded to a report of a person trespassing at
the San Bernardino Food for Less and trying to start
a fight. When officers arrived, several teenagers in the parking
(19:29):
lot scattered, but one of them, a girl identified only
as Aaron, found herself singled out. Three of the officers
reportedly stood guard, while a fourth grabbed the girl and
tried to handcuff her. The officer managed to cuff one
of her wrists before she started resisting. That's when the
patrol men flung the girl to the ground, face first.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the girl suffered several
(19:53):
injuries during the incident and required immediate medical treatment for
a dislocated wrist and cuts to her chin and face
that required stitches, according to case. Afterward, police reportedly claimed
Aaron fell during the arrest, but the video circulating on
social media shows the officer man handling the lightweight girl.
The person filming yelled hey and walked toward the fracas,
(20:13):
with Aaron now lying on the asphalt bleeding. Two officers
extended their batons and yelled for the person filming to
back up.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Sounds about right.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Footage of the violent takedown was partially obscured by a
police vehicle and only captured the moment when the girl's
legs crashed violently into the pavement after being lifted off
of her feet and flipped over like a quote ragdoll.
That was from the girl's father, Christopher Krauser. The clip
does not show the full extent of the girl's injuries
due to Instagram's restrictions on graphic content. For now, the
(20:45):
officer's identity has been withheld by the department. The family
is urging California Attorney General Rob Banta to launch a
formal investigation into the officer's actions and how the department
handled the arrest. In a statement posted to social media,
the San Bernardino Police depart and defended the officer's actions. Quote,
at the time of the physical encounter, the officer was
attempting to place the female in handcuffs. The officer was
(21:08):
only able to place one of her hands in cuffs
when she began actively pulling away and attempting to walk
off from the officer when a takedown maneuver was used.
The department added, quote, the San Bernardino Police Department is
committed to impartial and accountable policing use of forces applied
based on behavior, not on age.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Gender, or race. All right, let's come back to that.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
According to the family, Aaron and her friends were inside
the grocery store when they were attacked by another group
of teens. They claimed Aaron was targeted by officers despite
doing nothing wrong. The video, which has circulated on Instagram
via the account mister Checkpoint, has drawn widespread outrage, with
social media critics calling out the department for past incidents
(21:50):
of police misconduct. Okay, you want that first.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
What does outrage mean in this context? Does it mean
we're gonna tweet like a lot in all caps with
a lot of exclamation points. Does it mean that we're
gonna do stories on Instagram?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Does it mean we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Repost this story on our Facebook?
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Like?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
What is out Because they use the word outrage, and
in my mind, I see something very different when I
hear outrage.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I think what they mean.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Is what I just described, Like for like a day,
and for only a day, some people will pretend to
be very upset about what they saw, this girl getting
body slammed by a police officer, which, even if she's
guilty of whatever crime, you say, the seventeen year old
(22:55):
girl shouldn't be body slammed by the police officer, like correct, Yeah,
and I'm hearing the anne butts from somebody on the
other side of this. But what if she and and
That's what I'm saying, Like we can't even get the
(23:15):
first question, the most basic part of it, right, The
teenage girl shouldn't be body slammed by the grown adult
man police officer, right. And because we can't even agree
on that question, what are they talking about when they
say outrage, nothing's going to happen to the agency or
(23:37):
the officer, just the girl, over and over again, and
every city and every state in the country, and nothing's
gonna change.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Nothing's going to happen. There's no outrage. We're not in
the streets. We're not Actually that's outrage. We're gonna do
some selective moral peacocking.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
We all tweet and share and like saying that it's wrong,
and later that same day it won't matter anymore except
to this young lady and her family. Everybody else will
as usual going about their day and about their lives
because it's not their daughter or their sister, or their mom,
(24:32):
or their cousin or their niece, or their friend or
their neighbor. This is a story about a theory of
something that happens somewhere in the world, not about the
actual practice of police brutality unchecked with impunity forever. As
(24:55):
annually their budgets increase and the amount of people un
alive by them increases, nothing changes about their accountability or
the lack thereof. Nothing changes about the strength of their unions,
nothing changes about the qualified amenity that's presented to them.
To protect them. So what are you talking about? Outrage?
(25:19):
There's no outrage. This is this version of this story.
There's another version of this story, and we'll talk about
it in a couple of days. The plot, the main
idea will be the same.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
There's a different girl.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
The position of.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
The protagonists and the antagonists will be the same, except
we won't agree on who the protagonists and antagonists are,
and the fact that we don't is why it will
never change.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Well, sometimes kind of suck all the oxygen out of
the studio.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Man.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Of course I agree with you. I think that. However,
I think that sharing it and tweeting it and putting
all the exclamation points is not nothing. Should people do more, Sure,
(26:26):
people should always do more, But I don't want people
to feel discouraged because this keeps happening. We've made progress,
doesn't feel.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Like it in this moment.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
But I wasn't born a slave, and this little girl
isn't hanging from a tree, so that's not nothing. We
have a long road in this country, and we are
this chapter. We are this moment. We are the generation
that is meeting this moment, and we don't have what
we want. But maybe it's a million, billion, trillion little
(27:00):
tweets that gets us closer. It's the doing nothing that
is the most harmful from where we sit. And you know,
you know that I have to say that, and it's
true and I have to say that, but uh, I
(27:22):
know how like upsetting and how disturbing this is because
I know you have a baby girl, and I don't
want to. I wanted to go into the details, but
I'm not going to do that because I cannot know
what it's like. But I through you. You know, she's
like my baby girl too, you know what I mean,
(27:44):
So I can try to feel what this story might
might sound like to you, and so I don't want to.
You know, one of the things that we promised each
other is that we were going to be very careful
how we processed, you know, trauma and harm done to
black bodies. And so we're gonna We're going to do

Speaker 2 (00:17):
Welcome to your Midweek Memo on the Black Information Network
Daily Podcast with Me ramses Jaw and I am q Ward.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
All Right.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
First up from the Black Information Network, A white supremacist
hate group marched in downtown Kansas City amid Memorial Day celebrations.
According to KCTV, Patriot Front white supremacist hate group convened
in downtown Kansas City wearing white face masks, hats, and
sunglasses to obscure their faces, along with matching khaki and
navy outfits. Patriot Front members carried altered or upside down
(00:52):
American flags as they took over the city ahead of
Memorial Day. Videos online showed the groups the groups all Right,
loading into several large U haul trucks before departing to
another location.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (01:04):
We condemn this attempt to promote white supremacy and urge
all community leaders and elected officials to similarly reject racism
and all other forms of bigotry unquote, ker Kansas City
Board chair Musa L. Bayoumi said in a statement. Kansas
City Mayor Quentin Lucas also spoke out about the gathering,
(01:24):
calling out the calling out, tweeting about the group's gathering,
and in that he called out the group's message of
hate and cowardice. In a video shared on ex Thomas Russeo,
the rally's leader, delivered a speech during which he claimed
that a war was being waged against white people. Quote,
we are disenfranchised, demoralized, and downtrodden people. He added, all right,
(01:48):
so I see your face, so have AEDITQ?
Speaker 1 (01:54):
And what world is any of that true? Or has
it ever been true?
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Right?
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Has it ever been?
Speaker 3 (02:01):
But especially now?
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Right like y'all up right now, y'all won, like y'all
won the whole thing. The credits roll. There was a parade.
There's another parade coming up from what we've been told, Like,
what are you talking about? And the strange thing in
watching the videos is the lack of law enforcement resistance.
(02:24):
When we organize and gather anywhere, they show up in
riot gear, even if we're praying, even if we're gathered
to pray they show up in riot gear. But white nationalists,
white supremacist, racist hate groups get to march through cities
with either police escort or police protection, never police resistance.
(02:49):
I wonder why.
Speaker 2 (02:51):
You know, one of the things that I learned in
the early days of my protesting career is a chant.
You know, protests have like these chants, and I'll never
forget this because it's so potent. But everyone was shouting,
there's no riot here, why are you and riot gear?
(03:13):
And I think that that kind of embodies how the
police kind of uphold the state. You know, they love
the idea of we protect the people, but they uphold
the state and they protect really some people. The rest
of us are kind of at their mercy. And you know,
it's funny because I shared a picture with you. We
(03:33):
were going to talk about it on Civic Cipher, but
we didn't. We didn't end up talking about it. Not
a picture of video, and it was of I'll try
to explain it to you listening, but it was one
police officer and two gentlemen. The police officer was trying
to apprehend one gentleman. They were all standing around right
in the frame of the shot, and the gentleman sort
(03:55):
of backs up and adopts an aggressive posts. All these
people are white, by the way. The officer then takes
out his taser and tases the man who's like adopting
the aggressive stance. The man then falls to the ground.
The other gentleman standing with the police officer then like
puts the officer in a headlock and slams the officer
to the ground. Right the first guy gets up from
(04:19):
being tased. He gets up, then walks over to the officers.
Speaker 3 (04:23):
On the ground. His buddy's holding the officer.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Down starts kicking the police officer. So now the officer
is getting jumped and then he gets you know, five
six kicks in something like that, and then his buddy
gets up and it's like, all right, I stop kicking him.
And then there's other people kind of running to help
the officer. And from what I understand, the rest of
that story goes that everybody went home and everybody lived
(04:46):
happily ever after. And it's crazy that, you know, I
don't really have to say this, but you can imagine
if that was any other race, that it would be first.
It wouldn't like it's so hard to imagine it happening
from any other race. The people who are the most
entitled are the people that do that.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
It's hard to imagine it because you've never.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
Seen it, right, But also the flip side of that is,
if that happens, there's a gun. This guy has a gun,
so he's gonna pulls a gun out and start shooting
people if they're black. You know, this guy just gets
up and he's like getting back to his feet and
gating is.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
You know, when you're white, you get to jump the
cops and list wild. When you are black, you get
shot in the back running away from the cops.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
Crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Now, in terms of them, they claim that they were afraid.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
And that crazy.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
But the thing about this thing is, first off, I
want to point out that these people are out there
in sunglasses and face masks and whatever to cover their identity.
First off, that is an active cowardice in and of itself.
The second thing is that they're wearing like a flag
(05:54):
paraphernalia or whatever on Memorial Day. And for people that
are so you know, quote unquote respectful of the flag,
people that are anti Colin Kaepernick, don't disrespect the flag.
That sort of people, right, These people don't follow flag
code at all and there.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
Are laughing, But it's because even then you and I
knew it had nothing to do with the flow.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
No, not at all, not at all.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
And was that not while he why he was kneeling.
But that's also not why they were upset. Yes, exactly,
and we knew that then, Yes, and they prove it
to us every every opportunity they guess exactly.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Let's move on.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Obviously the mayor and all these people had to speak
out against it. But okay, the final thing is that
these people are talking about war being waged against white people,
and that is absolutely something that exists. It's a fear
that exists in the mind of white folks. They it's
a white man in particular. You know.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
The strange thing though, it's not a fear that exists
in Thomas Russo's hit. M Yeah, the leader, like the
guy who sang it, that fear doesn't exist in his head.
He just knows the gullible people that he can manipulate.
I see what you're saying, have that fear in their head.
That's the Trump maneuver. So let me stoke that fear
(07:13):
in them. He doesn't think that as they load in
their U haul trucks with their masks and their upside
down flags and march through the city in a very
intimidating and bully tactic sort of way. He doesn't think
they're being displaced or there's a war. There's a war
against you while you march down the street peacefully and
nobody bothers you.
Speaker 3 (07:34):
That's the war you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
And you're disenfranchised and demoralized and downtrodden. Now, the thing is,
typically these pro white groups, they are opposed to any
other group who affirms the rights and the equitable treatment
of bona fide marginalized groups. So they say, well, black
(08:00):
people have the NAACP, and you know brown people have
you know their organizations, get people have their organisation, blah
blah blah. We need a white organization to protect the
interest of white people, right, And so this is the
got the framework of the of their thinking and their strategy,
ignoring the fact that the entire construct of the country
(08:21):
is that for them. So they go through and make
these it's very origin exactly, so it's all for for
white There's there's no place where white folks can go.
I think Lewis c.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
K says something.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
He's like, you know, I can get in a time
machine and travel to any period in history and walk in,
walk into a restaurant and they'd be like, right.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
This way, or your table is ready for you.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Right.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And he's like black people, if they had the opportunity
to get in a time machine, they'd be like, nah,
I'm not trying to go back to no other time
in history.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Right.
Speaker 3 (08:49):
So it's just.
Speaker 1 (08:50):
Funny, ironically, isn't true anymore? Yeah, well, I guess now
we go back to the eighties.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Or til Obama's administered some somewhere we at least feel
a little safe.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Well, yeah, I mean Obama's administration isn't far enough a
go and doesn't last long enough.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Yeah that's fair, right, So you go back.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
To the eighties, so you still get to come into
some growth, some growth start at Obama. You only had
a couple of years left for you right back here.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
Yeah, that's fair, that's fair. But you know, we had
to share that with you. And you know, one of
the things we say around here when we see it is,
you know, the Trump effect.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
We call it out.
Speaker 2 (09:18):
So that's exactly what that is. These people are still
in their own words, demoralized, disenfranchised, and downtrodden. Despite winning
the election, despite having a white supremacist in the Oval office,
who is deporting people, who's rolling back DEI, who's doing
all this sort of getting rid of black everything everything,
and women everything and gay everything. And Nope, it's just
(09:40):
y'all now. And they still are disenfranchised, sore winners. So
I don't want to hear anything about the victim mentality anymore, right.
Next up is from the Black Information Network. Boston's Museum
of African American History is among the latest art and
humanities institutions that have been hit by funding cuts from
the Trump administration.
Speaker 3 (09:57):
Per CNN, speak.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
Of the devil, keep telling me that he's not racist.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
For six decades, the museum has transported its visitors to
the past, giving individuals a look into black history, from
a two hundred year old meetinghouse where abolitionists like Frederick
Douglass spoke, to a walk through the halls where black
soldiers wants rallied to fight in the Civil War. The
museum also offered programs for children to learn about African
American history. These programs are now at risk after the
Trump administration moved to cancel its federal grant, saying the
(10:25):
funding quote no longer serves the interests of the United States.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Black history no longer serves the interest of the United States. Yep,
the United States of America v. Black history. Wow, that's
where we are. But I'm going to share this quote.
I will forever remember that line.
Speaker 2 (10:44):
This is from the museum's director, doctor Noel Trent, According
to a statement, she goes on to say, we were
very much embedded into key moments of this country's history.
How is that not of interest to the United States
and the American people?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
Unquote.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
Boston's Museum of African American History had won a five
hundred thousand dollars grant from the Institute of Museum and
Library Services to support school trips and educational programs, and
now they are going to have to figure out how
to stay open. So one of the things I will say,
because we know that this is bad, we know that
(11:18):
this is sad, and this is news that we have
to talk about, but it is not impossible to support
these institutions, particularly folks who are.
Speaker 3 (11:26):
In that part of the country.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
You know, people who recognize that having this resource in
that part of the world matters and we're all getting pinched.
But if everybody does a little bit, we can save
institutions like that. And I don't know if there's half
(11:48):
a million people to give a dollar each, I don't
know if there's you know, fifty thousand people to give
ten dollars, I don't know if it's you know what
the number is, but you know, to each according to
their means. You know, we can support these institutions and
we can affirm their their value because let's let's be
(12:12):
let's understand the strategic nature of these attacks. They're attacking
the funding, they're not They haven't yet made it illegal
to have a museum that celebrates black history. They're working
on it, yes, but at present it's a dream of theirs.
It's not a reality. And if they kill us at
this step, then they don't even need to worry about
(12:33):
that step. So this is how we fight. We donate
when we see that our institutions are under attack. Hey,
what's up?

Information Network Daily Podcast with your hosts Rams's Jaw and
q Ward.
Speaker 3 (13:20):
All right.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Next up from the Black Information Network, a black employee
at a Chick fil A has filed a lawsuit alleging
that he endured racist abuse from coworkers who called him
ape oof and threatened to put him in a cage
and threatened to be put in a case sorry. According
to the lawsuit obtained by The Independent, Thomas Wade, a
former Chick fil Aid worker in Idaho, faced incessant racial
(13:41):
discrimination at the franchise, despite filing dozens of complaints to
his superiors. Quote of course he works at a Chick
fil A. He's black, so he loves chicken unquote. One
coworker allegedly told Wade Wade started working as a cook
on the back of house crew at the Chick fil
A in Idaho Falls in.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
December twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (13:59):
During one instance of abuse, Wade attempted to intervene when
he saw two of his coworkers, one of whom was
the supervisor's son, and taggonizing a third employee. According to
the suit, quote, in response to his attempts to intervene
and defuse the situation, the son told Wade shut up
ape before I put you in a cage. The complaint states.
When Wade said he was planning to report the incident
(14:21):
to management, the supervisor's son allegedly called him monkey looking
a word and warned him that quote my parents own
this store.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
Quote.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
The complaint details another incident where Wade was told he
was a piece of antique farming equipment in reference to
slavery wow. On another occasion, Wade allegedly saw one of
his supervisor's sons whipping another colleague with a towel. The
son told Wade that he would know about getting whipped
since he's black. His supervisor's daughters allegedly said Wade looked
(14:54):
like a monkey and acted like a monkey. Wade also
found a variation of the in word written in the
kitchen freezer, the complaint states, according to a complaint sorry.
According to the complaint, Wade made roughly twenty five to
thirty reports to Chick fil A management.
Speaker 3 (15:08):
About the racist abuse, to no avail.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
He was fired on October sixteen, twenty twenty three, quote
because he refused to tolerate and continued to report racist
behavior and comments by his coworkers unquote. The owner of
the franchise, Learned Mustellar Incorporated of Woodstock, Georgia, responded to
the allegations in court earlier this month, denying each and every.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
Complaint.
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Wade's lawsuit seeks to hold the franchisee accountable for discrimination,
hostile work environment, retaliation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Who I know that was a long win in our
next one is going to be long too, so buckle up.
But wow, for me, my mind goes to, you know,
if there's a person working at a Chick fil A,
(15:49):
they're probably younger and young people I think in my mind,
especially that young still deserves some protection and to be
out there kind of getting your feet wet in the
real world and that's kind of your first taste of it.
That's got to be so demoralizing. But obviously my issue
(16:11):
is with the parents of the other people who work there,
because they obviously raised them in a way that you know,
this sort of stuff wasn't stomped out. And you know,
we talk about the Trump effect quite a bit. I'm
sure that that had a lot to do with these
people feeling like they can get all of these bars
off since you know, Donald Trump's first election, you know
(16:33):
a lot of people who harbor racist sentiments feel a
little bit more empowered getting them off.
Speaker 3 (16:38):
So it's kind of a sad story.
Speaker 1 (16:43):
Every time I see our president, I can't believe he's
our president. I can't believe that he was ever our
president and then now our president again, and that people
like this do and have always hated us for not
(17:04):
we didn't do anything to you.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Ever, Yeah, you did something to us, over and over
again throughout all of history.
Speaker 1 (17:11):
You do something to us, and this idea that we
that we're ever gonna gather up and seek revenge, we
have so much time that shows we have no interest
in doing so, and you still seek us out to
hate us more. And the kid was right, he could
(17:35):
get it off. This kid gets fired, and this kid
still gets to be rich.
Speaker 3 (17:41):
His parents are on the store.
Speaker 2 (17:44):
Well, I'm gonna you know, full disclosure. I don't eat
a Chick fil A anyway. Well, I don't spend a
Chick fil A. They'll never get my money because of
their stance on lgbt Q IA plus communities.
Speaker 1 (18:02):
What about their stands on white supremacy.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
Well, I mean I already made my decision before that
came out, so they can't get less than zero from me.
But yeah, I made that choice back in the day
when they were like, they were like investing in some
sort of whatever it was to I couldn't tell you
what it was, but I made up my mind about them.
And because I didn't want to be a hypocrite, and
I couldn't come on the radio and ask people to
(18:26):
support my people and support my cause and not be
willing to keep that same energy when other people are
being harmed by corporations or institutions or whatever. So if
there are people who are not black, gay people who
were willing to stand with me, and we saw that
(18:46):
in twenty twenty, there was gay people out there standing
with us when it comes down to support gay people.
I'm gonna stand with them. And when Chick fil A
start talking crazy, I was like, they ain't gonna get
my money no more. I don't care what your chicken
taste like. All right, Next up, it's from the Atlanta
Black Star. A viral social media video showing a San
Bernardino police officer viciously body slamming a seventeen year old
girl last week has sparked outrage and calls for an
(19:08):
independent investigation. All right, buckle up, this one's going to
be long, and I apologize in advance. The brutal arrests
occurred the afternoon of May twenty first, outside a grocery
store in the five hundred block of West second Street.
Police responded to a report of a person trespassing at
the San Bernardino Food for Less and trying to start
a fight. When officers arrived, several teenagers in the parking
(19:29):
lot scattered, but one of them, a girl identified only
as Aaron, found herself singled out. Three of the officers
reportedly stood guard, while a fourth grabbed the girl and
tried to handcuff her. The officer managed to cuff one
of her wrists before she started resisting. That's when the
patrol men flung the girl to the ground, face first.
According to the Los Angeles Times, the girl suffered several
(19:53):
injuries during the incident and required immediate medical treatment for
a dislocated wrist and cuts to her chin and face
that required stitches, according to case. Afterward, police reportedly claimed
Aaron fell during the arrest, but the video circulating on
social media shows the officer man handling the lightweight girl.
The person filming yelled hey and walked toward the fracas,
(20:13):
with Aaron now lying on the asphalt bleeding. Two officers
extended their batons and yelled for the person filming to
back up.
Speaker 3 (20:20):
Sounds about right.
Speaker 2 (20:21):
Footage of the violent takedown was partially obscured by a
police vehicle and only captured the moment when the girl's
legs crashed violently into the pavement after being lifted off
of her feet and flipped over like a quote ragdoll.
That was from the girl's father, Christopher Krauser. The clip
does not show the full extent of the girl's injuries
due to Instagram's restrictions on graphic content. For now, the
(20:45):
officer's identity has been withheld by the department. The family
is urging California Attorney General Rob Banta to launch a
formal investigation into the officer's actions and how the department
handled the arrest. In a statement posted to social media,
the San Bernardino Police depart and defended the officer's actions. Quote,
at the time of the physical encounter, the officer was
attempting to place the female in handcuffs. The officer was
(21:08):
only able to place one of her hands in cuffs
when she began actively pulling away and attempting to walk
off from the officer when a takedown maneuver was used.
The department added, quote, the San Bernardino Police Department is
committed to impartial and accountable policing use of forces applied
based on behavior, not on age.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
Gender, or race. All right, let's come back to that.
Speaker 2 (21:30):
According to the family, Aaron and her friends were inside
the grocery store when they were attacked by another group
of teens. They claimed Aaron was targeted by officers despite
doing nothing wrong. The video, which has circulated on Instagram
via the account mister Checkpoint, has drawn widespread outrage, with
social media critics calling out the department for past incidents
(21:50):
of police misconduct. Okay, you want that first.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
What does outrage mean in this context? Does it mean
we're gonna tweet like a lot in all caps with
a lot of exclamation points. Does it mean that we're
gonna do stories on Instagram?
Speaker 3 (22:19):
Does it mean we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
Repost this story on our Facebook?
Speaker 4 (22:23):
Like?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
What is out Because they use the word outrage, and
in my mind, I see something very different when I
hear outrage.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
I think what they mean.
Speaker 1 (22:34):
Is what I just described, Like for like a day,
and for only a day, some people will pretend to
be very upset about what they saw, this girl getting
body slammed by a police officer, which, even if she's
guilty of whatever crime, you say, the seventeen year old
(22:55):
girl shouldn't be body slammed by the police officer, like correct, Yeah,
and I'm hearing the anne butts from somebody on the
other side of this. But what if she and and
That's what I'm saying, Like we can't even get the
(23:15):
first question, the most basic part of it, right, The
teenage girl shouldn't be body slammed by the grown adult
man police officer, right. And because we can't even agree
on that question, what are they talking about when they
say outrage, nothing's going to happen to the agency or
(23:37):
the officer, just the girl, over and over again, and
every city and every state in the country, and nothing's
gonna change.
Speaker 5 (23:50):
Nothing's going to happen. There's no outrage. We're not in
the streets. We're not Actually that's outrage. We're gonna do
some selective moral peacocking.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
We all tweet and share and like saying that it's wrong,
and later that same day it won't matter anymore except
to this young lady and her family. Everybody else will
as usual going about their day and about their lives
because it's not their daughter or their sister, or their mom,
(24:32):
or their cousin or their niece, or their friend or
their neighbor. This is a story about a theory of
something that happens somewhere in the world, not about the
actual practice of police brutality unchecked with impunity forever. As
(24:55):
annually their budgets increase and the amount of people un
alive by them increases, nothing changes about their accountability or
the lack thereof. Nothing changes about the strength of their unions,
nothing changes about the qualified amenity that's presented to them.
To protect them. So what are you talking about? Outrage?
(25:19):
There's no outrage. This is this version of this story.
There's another version of this story, and we'll talk about
it in a couple of days. The plot, the main
idea will be the same.
Speaker 3 (25:33):
There's a different girl.
Speaker 5 (25:33):
The position of.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
The protagonists and the antagonists will be the same, except
we won't agree on who the protagonists and antagonists are,
and the fact that we don't is why it will
never change.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
Well, sometimes kind of suck all the oxygen out of
the studio.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Man.
Speaker 2 (26:05):
Of course I agree with you. I think that. However,
I think that sharing it and tweeting it and putting
all the exclamation points is not nothing. Should people do more, Sure,
(26:26):
people should always do more, But I don't want people
to feel discouraged because this keeps happening. We've made progress,
doesn't feel.
Speaker 3 (26:38):
Like it in this moment.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
But I wasn't born a slave, and this little girl
isn't hanging from a tree, so that's not nothing. We
have a long road in this country, and we are
this chapter. We are this moment. We are the generation
that is meeting this moment, and we don't have what
we want. But maybe it's a million, billion, trillion little
(27:00):
tweets that gets us closer. It's the doing nothing that
is the most harmful from where we sit. And you know,
you know that I have to say that, and it's
true and I have to say that, but uh, I
(27:22):
know how like upsetting and how disturbing this is because
I know you have a baby girl, and I don't
want to. I wanted to go into the details, but
I'm not going to do that because I cannot know
what it's like. But I through you. You know, she's
like my baby girl too, you know what I mean,
(27:44):
So I can try to feel what this story might
might sound like to you, and so I don't want to.
You know, one of the things that we promised each
other is that we were going to be very careful
how we processed, you know, trauma and harm done to
black bodies. And so we're gonna We're going to do
(28:07):
our job today, and we're going to ask all of you,
our listeners, to do your jobs continually. And if all
you can do is share, then share. If you can
do more, then do more. And if you can listen
to Civic Cipher, we have an excellent guest that is
coming up this weekend. That'll give you some insight on
how to get involved in your community and maybe you
(28:30):
can change things. Just are you fed up enough? And
I think that if you saw the video that I
saw that you, I would not show to you that
you might ask yourself that question too. So if you
could do that for us, we'd appreciate it. But listening
(28:52):
and tweeting and giving us your little bit of attention
from time to time, that that means a lot to us,
and we appreciate you. We'll get there, so those faith
