I'm tired of African Americans, bro.
We just we just gave out a namebecause we called on.
Nobody made us aware, no onemade us aware that you guys were
reaping the benefits of ournames and we weren't.
So we don't want to be labeledas African Americans, bro.
People continue to get on hereand say we don't want to
(00:24):
acknowledge that we come fromAfrica, bro.
That's wrong Actually.
No, we don't want toacknowledge that because we
don't come from Africa.
We haven't been over there foralmost 500 years, bro Probably
longer than that, and some of ushave never been there.
Do you understand how the slavetrade work?
And why would anyone want to beassociated with people who sold
(00:46):
off their children?
You sold off your children andthen you want people to
acknowledge that they come fromyou.
No one cares a lot of.
You look deformed as well,uneven shaped noggins over over
protruding stomachs.
I don't want you herepersonally.
(01:07):
I don't wanna get to know you.
Yes, I wanna divide from you.
I don't wanna get to know youever.
I only wanna deal withAmericans, not African Americans
, not only Americans, onlyAmericans.
People who are gonna say theyare American and they don't
represent other countriesbecause it makes them spiyish.
(01:28):
What don't y'all get?
You guys sell your people.
Of course you're going to comeover here and sell us out.
We don't need to make room foryou.
And if everybody keep gettingon the Internet, talk about some
.
Oh yeah, we're trying to divide.
Yes, we're trying to dividefrom these people.
They not our people.
If they so much, y'all peoplego to their country.
Get the fuck out of america.
(01:49):
We got shit going on over hereand y'all worried about other
countries, other black people.
That's a skin color.
Racism is made up.
We don't care about that.
We care about the nation thatwe represent.
That's america.
I don't care if you you my skincolor, what do I care when you
wouldn't even care if I was yourson or your child?
(02:11):
You would sell me into slavery.
So no, we don't want to.
I don't want to be representedby no african.
I despise you and you aredistasteful, more so than a
European.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Whoa Peace, peace and welcome back, welcome back,
freedman's affairs radio, theFreedman's network.
Powerful opening there, right,y'all wasn't expecting that.
Anyway, I want to just out thegate.
Thank you for tapping back inwith us again this glorious
(02:52):
sunrise, july 15th 2025.
Of course, we're dealing withknowledge power and that borns
equality, right us.
We're dealing with knowledge,power and that borns equality,
right.
Oftentimes you hear some of thegods saying knowledge is power,
(03:13):
right.
And then when we actually gointo it Hold on, wait a minute,
what is it?
We actually go into the 1 to 40, right In the 15th degree.
It raised the question.
(03:34):
It raised the question who isthe 10%?
And the answer was the rich,the slave maker of the poor, who
teach the poor lies to believethat the almighty, true and
living god is a spook and cannotbe seen by the next physical
eye, otherwise known as theblood suckers of the poor, right
(03:59):
, that's what it's, that's whatit teaches us, you know, and
reason why I opened up with that, with that opening.
But the brother, you know, thebrother with the rent.
Now, he had some very validpoints, very valid points.
I can't say that I agree ahundred percent.
(04:20):
I'm about 90, between 90 and 90, 90 and 95 percent in agreeance
with his statement.
But yeah, so everybody's beentalking about that.
What's that?
The Essence Fest.
The Essence Fest and you knowthey this year had it a couple
(04:45):
of weeks ago and this year itwas very weak.
It was very weak and watereddown.
They're trying to, from allaccounts that I'm getting
because I've never been to one.
I'm not going to sit up hereand cap and make it like I've
(05:07):
ever been to an Essence Festbecause I never have.
But, from all accounts, thatpeople that attended, people
that I've talked to, that havewent many times, you know, on
several occasions, or somepeople that go every year.
You know it's a big thing inour culture.
(05:30):
Well, it was a big thing.
It's been falling off.
It's been kind of falling offlately and there's several
reasons why.
But now that the people havetook it over, because the
original, because it started upas original, the original, uh,
uh, because it was, uh, itstarted up as the essence
magazine, the periodical essencemagazine, and, um, they created
(05:56):
the festival behind it.
It was mostly for women, blackwomen, and um, it it grew, it
morphed into something really,really, really big, to a real
cultural staple in the blackamerican experience.
Right and um, people would goevery year, like you know, and
(06:20):
it's right there in new orleans,louisiana, and they had that,
that, that new orleans theme toit, the food and everything.
It was just, you know, fromfrom what I talked to people
that that attended this uhfestival, that is really a big
thing.
And, um, now that these peopletook it over, the original
owners of the brand sold it toand to.
(06:43):
He had the Shea Butter thing.
He was doing the Shea, the Shea, not Shea Butter, but the Shea
body moisturizer thing.
You know, and he's an Africanbrother, you know his origins,
his lineage goes back to Africa.
I believe it's Nigeria.
I want to say Nigeria, I'm notsure.
(07:05):
Um, let me see, can we find his, his, uh, let me see.
What's this cat's name, what'sthis dude's name?
Uh, let me go out of here.
Okay, give me one second family.
Okay, yeah, get that bed backin here.
(07:36):
Give me one second family.
I'm bringing it up.
Okay, okay, give me one second.
I'm trying to.
I should have got this stufftogether, okay, the Essence
(08:05):
Festival culture is owned andoperated by essence ventures,
which is also owns essencemagazine inside the solomon
group.
Yeah, now, remember this, thesolomon group they are.
They are, um, responsible forthe production, uh, and
execution of many aspects of thefestival.
Remember that name SolomonGroup.
(08:27):
Now, when I looked up theSolomon Group, these were all
white people.
I think they had maybe two orthree black people in the group.
It's maybe like 15 or 16 ofthem, but most of them are white
people and they're in charge ofproduction and putting a lot of
the events together at EssenceFest.
Now, I'm trying to get to thisbrother's name.
(08:52):
Who is this guy?
What's his name?
What's this cat's name?
I don't have it up here with me, but anyway, he brought the
brand.
He brought the Essence brandright Because the four original
owners were four brothers, thesefour black brothers that had
started everything up.
They started the magazine andthey were responsible for the
(09:15):
festival.
Anyway, they sold the brand andnow what's happening is they're
starting to implement Africanthemed.
They're starting to be centeredaround an African theme.
(09:35):
Now I don't know if it's theSolomon group that's responsible
for that, but I do know it wasvery.
When you people that went andthat were doing videos and
reporting on it, the eventslooked very dry.
And then Stephanie Mills sheshe was one of the performers
(09:57):
her, lauryn Hill and some otherpeople and Stephanie Mills put
out a statement and it it was.
It wasn't.
It was.
Her experience at the festivalthis year was horrible.
Let me see, can I find herstatement?
Somebody reported on herstatement.
Let me see here.
(10:18):
Yeah, she had a very badexperience.
I'm trying to find her.
She put out like a um, a tweetor whatever.
What do you call that x thing?
She put out a statement.
I don't know if it was x orwhatever, but she, uh, she
wasn't happy with the, uh, theway things were.
Okay, yeah, this is part of herstatement.
Uh, this was part of ourstatement I'm just reading a
(10:40):
small part of it and said thescheduling and time management
was severely liking, creating achaotic, a chaotic and stressful
environment backstage, this isthis disorganization cascaded
onto the stage, impacting theflow of the event and ultimately
diminishing the quality of theperformance.
(11:02):
This is part of her statement.
Um, I don't want to playanybody else's stuff up here.
I don't want to play anybody'sstuff up here, so I'm not going
to do that.
And then Lauryn Hill followedher up with her own statement.
Lauryn Hill followed her up.
So what's happening is this andthen the woman that's in charge
(11:23):
of the event or the organizingevent what's that chick's name?
The winger, something of thewinger.
She's, I think, from SouthAfrica, something like that.
But this woman, you know she'sLGBT, not that that matters, but
this woman is married to awhite woman and they got kids,
(11:44):
or whatever, I don't know.
And she's getting a lot of theheat.
She's catching a lot of theheat from the backlash of the,
the unsuccessful event, becausethat thing goes on for like a
whole week weekend, excuse me,it goes on for like a whole
(12:05):
weekend, but anyway, yeah,family.
So that's what's been happening.
Let me, let me see Can I getsomething up here, because I
heard Phil Scott talking aboutit.
Let me see Can I find thatlittle piece from Phil Scott.
Hold on, yeah, here he is.
(12:25):
Here he is.
Let's turn the music down.
Get Phil up in here.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
And she said she struggled to get her food truck
and she was going to sell herfood truck and an immigrant man
came and wanted to buy her foodtruck and he said he had 25 000
from the bank.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I'm sorry, that's the wrong story.
That's the wrong story.
Hold on, let's.
Let's go back, let's go back,let's go back.
That was the wrong story.
That was something else a storywe're going to get into.
I had it queued up.
It was in the.
That was the wrong story.
That was something else a storywe're going to get into.
I had it queued up, it was inthe queue was the wrong story,
though, hold on, let me see alot of people are speaking about
the essence fest and theessence fest is not what it used
to be.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
The essence fest used to be a cultural you know event
for the black community everyyear and ever since the
ownership has changed, manypeople people in New Orleans
have reported that the culturalspirit that's there and what we
normally would do at EssenceFest has been going down every
single year.
(13:22):
And you look at 2025 and it'sreally really noticeable.
And because FBAs have beenspeaking about this, there are
people from the diaspora thatlive in America that really
don't like it, because we knowRichard Lou Dennis.
He's a Liberian American.
He owns Essence, and CarolineWenger, she is a Kenyan American
(13:45):
, it's the CEO.
So a magazine that started offwith four brothers now is not
owned by no FBA.
Fba isn't running it and a lotof people having a problem with
that.
Let's go ahead and check out.
This particular sister has tosay, because we have to respond
to this, because she just don'tunderstand or maybe can't
(14:08):
comprehend about us protectingour culture.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
This is why black people will remain in the
trenches, and when I say black,I mean African Americans,
africans, caribbean, blacknessas a whole.
This is why we'll remain in thetrenches, because we have so
much division in us.
It is ridiculous.
I've been seeing a lot ofvideos talking about Essence
Festival and how AfricanAmericans are by courting it and
(14:32):
how it's flopping because it'snow owned by africans.
Because the the there is noafrican-american, there is not
enough african-americanrepresentation, and the way
they're talking about africanhow condescending they talk
about african.
Or how africans, uh, theartists, how african artists are
invited, how africa.
We are never getting out of thetrenches.
(14:53):
You see our people from thecaucus mountain.
They will continue to do.
They will continue to do betterthan us, because we are very
unserious.
Us as a race, as a nation, as aand as an ethnicity, we are
very unwell.
There's something they did anumber on our head that we would
(15:14):
rather crumble individuallythan unite and do something
marvelous.
No, there's always a division.
Oh, these people are Caribbean.
Oh, these people are AfricanAmericans.
Oh, these people are African.
Meanwhile you're looking at thesame shade of black, but now,
when it comes to white folks,you can't hear.
Oh, this person is Russian.
Oh oh, this person is russian.
Oh, this person is from, uh, isfrom uk.
(15:36):
Oh no, this person is fromukraine.
No, we don't hear that shitwhen it comes to white folks,
but when it comes to blackpeople, we have different shades
of black.
I'm so divided it is nosiering.
We are on serious people nowwe're not serious who will
remain mentally enslaved tillthe end of time.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
But that last little bit.
You kept saying we, I don't, wedon't speak French, we speak
English, so that we part hasnothing to do with us.
But see, here's the thing.
Here's the thing, sis.
Let me just give you just alittle bit of education here.
Essence Fest has never been apan-african event.
Okay, if essence fest was apan-african event, then this
(16:16):
would be a legitimateconversation that you're having.
Essence fest and essencemagazine was the highlight of
the black american community,highlighted black american
actors, actresses, civil rightsleaders, sports, uh, highlighted
people in fashion.
It was more so focused on blackAmericans, not to say that they
(16:38):
didn't feature a brother orsister from the motherland, not
to say that or a brother orsister from the Caribbean, but
it was more so focused on blackAmerican culture, american
culture and what the issue thatblack Americans are having is
that Richard Lou Dennis, he isliterally trying to pan African
(16:59):
eyes, something that'sculturally black American and
that's what the rejection iscoming from.
You can't have Joloff versusJambalaya.
That will be fine if it was aPan-African event.
Yeah, bring out the Jambalaya,bring out the dirty rice, bring
out the Jolof, bring it all out.
Hey, let's go ahead and try itall.
(17:19):
Listen, if I'm at a Pan-Africanevent, I want to see every food
there, right, I want to see thecurry goat, I want to see the
Jolof, I want to see the dirtyrice, you understand.
I want to see the foo-foo andthe goosey, and bring it all to
the Pan-African event.
I expect that.
Listen, I'm going to Canadanext month.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Okay, we're going to pause it right there he said the
foo-foo.
I don't want none of that stuff, none of it.
I don't want to try it.
I got no interest in none ofthat stuff.
I um, no, no, no, I will eatsome, some caribbean food here
and there.
I don't, I don't need it a lot.
Every once in the two blue moonsI might, I might have some,
(18:03):
some, uh, some jerk, you know,some jerk or some jerk chicken,
a piece of jerk chicken orsomething like that.
You know they rice and peas arevery good and they didn't know
how to be very good with thatcurry, those curry dishes and
stuff like that.
So that you know, I'll try thathere.
You know, periodically, notoften, not often, um, I, um, I
(18:24):
have a certain kind of way I eatand I try to stick to that.
Now, when I veer off of that,it's usually black, american, uh
, soul food dishes that I do andI try to do the healthier
versions of that.
You know I, I eat a piece offried chicken in a minute, in a
new york minute.
I ain't, I'm not gonna hold you, I'm not gonna sit here and cap
, I will eat it.
(18:45):
Man, I eat a piece of new york,a piece of southern fried
chicken in a New York minute,make no mistakes about it, make
no mistakes about it.
And I love fish, I love me somefish, some, some fried whitings
and porgies and mullets anddifferent things like that.
So yeah, but yeah, but anyway,yeah.
(19:06):
So that's been the backlash ofthese.
People have been trying topretty much Africanize the
essence festival and now youknow, we lost Frankie Beverly
last last year night.
We recently lost him and youknow Frankie Beverly.
(19:28):
Frankie Beverly was a staple atthat Essence Festival.
He would be the headliner mostof the times.
He would be the headliner thereand he performed.
It might have been at everysingle one of them and he loved
to perform in that town, thatcity of New Orleans.
He loved it there.
(19:49):
He loved that festival.
And from what I'm understandingfrom all, from all reports that
I'm getting, that they didn'teven do a tribute to this
brother, not even a tribute, noteven a mention of him.
Now how can you do that?
Now I partially blame that onon us and we're going.
Listen, man, we get.
We got to be real about thisand take the heat along with
(20:13):
what's happening.
We have to take responsibilityNow.
There's nothing wrong with doingbusiness and doing commerce
with people selling things.
You know, you create a brandand you might have to move on
from the brand and sell it toother people.
You always want to do that withclauses.
(20:33):
This is the clause.
I'm selling this to you, butwe're going to make a clause
with this.
This is how this has to go inorder to keep the tradition of
the brand.
You see what I'm saying.
So now, how you have Essence,don't, don't tribute Frankie
(20:55):
Beverly.
How, how does that happen?
So this is telling me that wang, a chick in the dude I forget
his name, phil.
You heard him mentioning guy'sname.
How, how was that an oversight?
See, this is deliberate.
Um, there's, there's nocoincidences there.
(21:16):
There are no coincidences.
This is, man, deliberateoversight.
Now again back to us.
You know, yes, we love frankie,frankie Beverly and stuff like
that, but now a lot of us, thatgeneration has is pretty much is
(21:36):
shifting and we have, we.
We are not including in myestimation of things or my
analogy of things.
We're not really including the,the millennials and the Gen
Zers and stuff like that.
We're really not including themin these cultural traditions,
(21:57):
we're not giving them the game.
So now, when you, when, whenyou have people like Frankie
Beverly pass on like there's notorch being passed because
there's somebody that wassupposed to step right up into
that and headline that thinglike that, and this is just how
I see it.
Maybe I could be wrong, butwe're not sharing, you're not,
(22:21):
we're not sharing thetraditional experience with the
next generations that are comingbehind us, and that can't
happen if, if we don't startdoing that.
I was talking to Wise salute myman, wise over at the Righteous
Perspective.
I was talking to him and wewere talking about the tradition
(22:43):
of the family reunion.
You know that this scene in theblack American community, that
the family reunion tradition isdown 47%, down to 47.
Like, like it's, it's way down,people are not doing the family
reunions like they like theyused to do.
(23:05):
Uh, 20 years ago, just 20 yearsago, people were still, you know
, families look forward to theirannual events.
Now some families do it everyyear, which in my families on
both sides my mother andfather's side they try toome on
the organizers to get, you know,two, three, maybe sometimes 400
(23:39):
people together from around thecountry to to try to uh
organize them and galvanize themto one specific place and you
try to keep it.
Um, some families they go oncruises and they go to, they
hold it and oh, they might go tobahamas and have it.
That's, that's a little.
(24:01):
That's a little out of theordinary.
The ordinary thing is to is totry to keep the reunions close
to where the elders are, becauseyou don't want to make it hard
on them.
So usually what, what people,people, the organizers trying to
do is to keep it within theconfines of where the, where the
(24:23):
elder statesmen or the familiesare.
You know, the, the, uh, thepaid, the matriarchs of the
family, so you don't want toburden them with travel and
stuff like that.
And and a lot of times, mostly,uh, like a lot of my, on my
father's side, a lot of myfamily are here in the city in
new york and and, um, some ofthem in florida, but the main
(24:47):
hub of the people are in southcarolina.
So we try to keep that.
We try to keep it close to to,to where the most people are at,
because you want the thing tobe successful.
You know, every year somefamilies, they, they move around
.
It might be in Michigan oneyear and then it might be in
Texas another year and then itmight be in Georgia the next
(25:08):
year.
After that.
That's cool if you, if, if it'snot burdensome on people, but
you're trying to keep it.
You know where it's.
Where it's not, a you knowbecomes a chore.
So yeah, but anyway, back to it.
The essence festival is veryyoung.
It's getting a lot of heat anda lot of people saying they're
(25:29):
really, they're really done withit.
They don't even want to bebothered with it no more.
Because now it's and this isnot the only time they've done
this.
They did that with the hip hopthing, you know, and their
brother had to salute the greatone, the general Tariq, that
that put together the microphonecheck movie, which I supported
(25:51):
and a lot of you probably helpedsupport, and that was a big
success.
And you had to do that thingwith the hip hop because they
was trying to do that.
It started out with the Latinosand the Jamaicans and Kool Herc
and this and that, and we hadto battle all of that.
We had to beat it back.
We had to beat it back and talkit all the way down to they
(26:16):
don't even have an argumentabout it no more, you understand
.
So we know these things aredone deliberately.
These cultural appropriationsare done purposefully.
I'm going to say I thinkthey're done purposefully.
These people know what they'redoing.
(26:37):
See, because if, if, createyour own African festival, you
know we don't bother nobody,stuff we don't.
You know I've been, I used to goto to the West Indian parade on
Eastern Park.
We're here in Brooklyn, newYork, every.
(26:57):
I didn't go every year but Iwould go sometimes and go out
there and watch the paradeattendees in their little scampi
, little outfits.
And you know they walk aroundthere with nothing but strings
on, really, and they feathersand stuff, get a piece of jerk
chicken and listen to the musicand stuff and chill out.
(27:19):
You know, just watch the some ofthe beautiful women, because
you know I really, uh, out ofall of the caribbean islands,
caribbean islands, I really lovethe trinidad the trinidadian
with them some.
To me those are the prettiestwomen of the of the west indies.
There's those on trinidad theTrinidadian.
To me those are the prettiestwomen of the West Indies.
It's those Trinidadian women.
They are some pretty women.
I mean beautiful.
(27:39):
Beautiful the Jamaican women.
Some of them are nice lookingwomen, beautiful some of them,
but they're a little more hardlooking than Trinidad and Tobago
women.
Oh my goodness them, somebeautiful women, man.
Trinidad and Tobago women oh mygoodness, some beautiful women,
man.
But anyway, anyway, back to it.
(28:01):
We don't bother those peoplewith their, with their.
We don't try to inject ourculture into their.
That's their thing.
Let them have it.
We can participate and join andgo enjoy it, you know, as
spectators, as guests, fine, butwhen it comes to our stuff,
people come.
I'm starting to notice atendency Well, not just starting
(28:24):
to notice, it's been a tendencyfor people to come and inject
themselves into our culturalthings, our cultural norms, and
I've been seeing it really.
And now it's with theJuneteenth.
You see you, now you noticenoticing Juneteenth flags, red,
black and green, all thispan-African stuff.
(28:50):
We're like the brother said, weare not Africans.
We are not.
We had an ethnogenesis here.
Go look that up, that word up,go look the term ethnogenesis,
and you come back and you tellme are we African?
I have nothing to do,absolutely nothing to do with
that continent, other than alineage, a, a distant lineage,
which most human human beingsthat are alive have a distant
(29:15):
lineage connection to thatcontinent it's, it's Asia or
Europe Most human beings aregenetically connected to.
So you know, I'm not going tosit here and go through a whole
bunch of stuff and pseudo-ismand different things like that.
It's not what this program isabout.
(29:35):
But anyway, yeah, we'respending too much time on this
topic anyway, because we got tomove, because I want to get out
of here and I hate leaving you,because I want to get out of
here and I hate leaving you, butI want to get out of here today
.
Um, the other thing and thisgoes back into um, our, our
fault is a lot of this stuff isour fault.
(29:56):
Family, we have to take the hitfor this because a lot of these
things are our fault, becausewe don't, we do not protect and
gatekeep our cultural thingslike other people in other
cultures do, and we have to takeresponsibility for that same
thing.
Here now you got karen bass,karen and the mayor of
(30:16):
california, mayor Los Angeles,california.
Karen Bass she is.
She's now what you call it, howyou call this thing Giving
these illegals money.
Right, you're just giving themmoney To.
(30:37):
She's saying it's coming fromPhilanthropists, that it's not
coming out of the coffers, thetaxpayers, it's coming out of
people, charitable, millionaire,rich people.
So she say but yeah, so Ireally don't understand how we
(31:01):
are still connected any type ofway to that Democratic Party.
I don't understand it.
We have to take, we're going tohave to take, start taking
responsibility for that.
But people in the Gen Zers andthe millennials are walking away
from that party and because ofthis they're playing right in
(31:24):
your face Now this woman she'sfrom all accounts that I know so
far.
I could be wrong, but KarenBass is a descendant of
foundational people.
She comes from the lineage.
But you got to understand.
This is a democratic agendafrom the top, from the top of
(31:45):
the DNC.
They're just not going to do.
They refuse, refuse.
Even after that big loss in theelection, they are refusing to
come to black Americans and saylisten, what?
Let us, let us have aconversation, what is it?
(32:05):
Let's get this thing together.
They're not going to do that.
They're refusing to do that andthey're going to keep losing
elections.
Now, this is why those peoplewere brought here in the first
place was to destabilize theblack vote.
Understand that family.
That's what they came.
That's what they were broughthere for to destabilize the
(32:27):
black vote.
Right, because they don't didthat.
If they got enough of thosepeople over here and these
people, people, are they rushingthem for citizenship and what
do they call this thing?
Asylum?
Giving them asylum and amnestyand stuff like that, and rushing
(32:48):
them to citizenship, fasttracking them to citizenship
that will now they no longerneed the black vote because they
got enough of these people, butit didn't work and now that
this guy's won the election,he's bouncing them out of here.
But understand this too.
Understand this too.
Pay attention, always payattention and follow the money.
(33:09):
The Republicans yes, they aredeporting these people and
different things like that, andthey just passed this big,
beautiful bill which will givethe ICE agency much more vast
resources to do the job ofdeporting these people.
But understand, they're notgoing after the.
(33:30):
The business, um, people thatare hiring these, these cheap
laborers off, you know, underthe tables.
They're not going after them.
I wonder why.
I wonder why now again, youhave a lot of the black
conservatives on their youtubechannels.
On their podcast, they'll betalking about how great trump is
(33:53):
doing.
He ran, he's probably he'sdoing everything.
He ran on that he promised thathe was going to do.
He's doing it and you know they, just they.
You know these, these MAGAhat-wearing Negroes, maga
hat-wearing Negroes that aresaying these things and you
can't tell them anything becauseTrump is doing it the way they.
(34:14):
Let them tell it he's doingeverything that he promised.
But pay attention, you're notgoing after the people that are
hiring these people and these,these big farm farmers that own
these big farmlands.
You're not going after any ofthem that are hiring these
people to do the picking because, um, people, americans, black,
(34:36):
white, whatever don't mind doingthese jobs.
It's not degrading work.
Doing farm work is notdegrading.
It's just that Americans arenot going to do it for low pay.
Farm work is very serious workand it can be very hard work,
(35:02):
you understand, and you're notnot gonna do it for nothing.
But you know that's what thatis.
Now the last thing and I wantto get out of here.
The last thing we're going totouch is we're going to about a
little bit.
This touch on is this thisEpstein thing?
(35:25):
You know, with Pam Bondi, theyknow Trump, you know he made
this statement.
He was going to he ran on thathe was going to release the
Epstein files and this and thatand as we see family, as we see
back to them, blackconservatives, the MAGA hat
wearing negroes they not talkingabout it.
(35:46):
None of them are talking aboutit.
Now, from what I'munderstanding, the MAGA crowd is
split on this thing because yougot a lot of people in MAGA, in
the MAGA community, that wantsthe lists, because Trump said he
was going to make.
You know he ran on that, gonna.
You know everybody that's onthe list is going to be revealed
(36:08):
this, this and that.
Now they it's the way I see itit may be some very, very, very
powerful, powerful, big brokersin that on those lists.
And how do we know it's a listwithout even seeing a list?
You know there's a list becausewhat's this chick?
Chris Lane Maxwell.
(36:33):
She got 20 years.
That was Epstein's partner.
She was helping him with therecruiting of the young girls,
the underage girls.
She was helping him with therecruiting of the young girls,
the underage girls.
She was helping him recruit andshe got 20 years.
Now he was in jail and, you know, supposedly hung himself right.
And go listen to MichaelFrancesi.
(36:55):
He was in the same cell thatthey had Epstein in when he was
in that jail and he said there'sno way you can hang yourself.
There is no way that you can dothat.
The cameras are on you 24 hours, seven days a week.
The cameras are on.
They might pause for to torestart them, but that's like a
minute.
You can't hang yourself in oneminute.
(37:16):
He wouldn't have had enoughtime.
But anyway, I don't want to getinto the conspiracy theories or
nothing like that because, like,I don't want to get into the
conspiracy theories or nothinglike that, because, like I said,
I want to get out of here.
But, yeah, family, soul.
So that's what it is.
And now there's none of theMAGA people talking about it.
None of them.
None of them.
Why is none of them are talkingabout, and I'm going to sit
(37:36):
back the rest of this week tosee if any of them are going to
mention it and I will have someconversations with some folks
about it.
But, um, yeah, family, so that'swhat it's been, that's what
it's been.
But anyway, we're going to getready to depart from you,
because it's been a little bitand I said we're not going to
stay today.
So, that said, family, withthat said, you must respect life
(38:01):
, love justice, cherish freedomand treasure the peace.
Come back and see us next week.
Um, we're gonna be going takinga little hiatus very soon
because we're gonna hopefully bemoving into a new studio and
and new you know and everythinglike that.
So, um, but I will update youon that, I will update you on
that, I will update you on that,and yeah family.
(38:25):
So that's what it's going to be.
That's what it's going to be.

No, I'm going to take no mess.
I'm going to pop a microbe.
(39:46):
Take a little taste in, betit's lasting On.
A little taste in, hit me, hitme, woo Ha-ha.
I'm tired of African Americans, bro.
We just we just gave out a namebecause we called on.
Nobody made us aware, no onemade us aware that you guys were
reaping the benefits of ournames and we weren't.
So we don't want to be labeledas African Americans, bro.
People continue to get on hereand say we don't want to
(00:24):
acknowledge that we come fromAfrica, bro.
That's wrong Actually.
No, we don't want toacknowledge that because we
don't come from Africa.
We haven't been over there foralmost 500 years, bro Probably
longer than that, and some of ushave never been there.
Do you understand how the slavetrade work?
And why would anyone want to beassociated with people who sold
(00:46):
off their children?
You sold off your children andthen you want people to
acknowledge that they come fromyou.
No one cares a lot of.
You look deformed as well,uneven shaped noggins over over
protruding stomachs.
I don't want you herepersonally.
(01:07):
I don't wanna get to know you.
Yes, I wanna divide from you.
I don't wanna get to know youever.
I only wanna deal withAmericans, not African Americans
, not only Americans, onlyAmericans.
People who are gonna say theyare American and they don't
represent other countriesbecause it makes them spiyish.
(01:28):
What don't y'all get?
You guys sell your people.
Of course you're going to comeover here and sell us out.
We don't need to make room foryou.
And if everybody keep gettingon the Internet, talk about some
.
Oh yeah, we're trying to divide.
Yes, we're trying to dividefrom these people.
They not our people.
If they so much, y'all peoplego to their country.
Get the fuck out of america.
(01:49):
We got shit going on over hereand y'all worried about other
countries, other black people.
That's a skin color.
Racism is made up.
We don't care about that.
We care about the nation thatwe represent.
That's america.
I don't care if you you my skincolor, what do I care when you
wouldn't even care if I was yourson or your child?
(02:11):
You would sell me into slavery.
So no, we don't want to.
I don't want to be representedby no african.
I despise you and you aredistasteful, more so than a
European.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
Whoa Peace, peace and welcome back, welcome back,
freedman's affairs radio, theFreedman's network.
Powerful opening there, right,y'all wasn't expecting that.
Anyway, I want to just out thegate.
Thank you for tapping back inwith us again this glorious
(02:52):
sunrise, july 15th 2025.
Of course, we're dealing withknowledge power and that borns
equality, right us.
We're dealing with knowledge,power and that borns equality,
right.
Oftentimes you hear some of thegods saying knowledge is power,
(03:13):
right.
And then when we actually gointo it Hold on, wait a minute,
what is it?
We actually go into the 1 to 40, right In the 15th degree.
It raised the question.
(03:34):
It raised the question who isthe 10%?
And the answer was the rich,the slave maker of the poor, who
teach the poor lies to believethat the almighty, true and
living god is a spook and cannotbe seen by the next physical
eye, otherwise known as theblood suckers of the poor, right
(03:59):
, that's what it's, that's whatit teaches us, you know, and
reason why I opened up with that, with that opening.
But the brother, you know, thebrother with the rent.
Now, he had some very validpoints, very valid points.
I can't say that I agree ahundred percent.
(04:20):
I'm about 90, between 90 and 90, 90 and 95 percent in agreeance
with his statement.
But yeah, so everybody's beentalking about that.
What's that?
The Essence Fest.
The Essence Fest and you knowthey this year had it a couple
(04:45):
of weeks ago and this year itwas very weak.
It was very weak and watereddown.
They're trying to, from allaccounts that I'm getting
because I've never been to one.
I'm not going to sit up hereand cap and make it like I've
(05:07):
ever been to an Essence Festbecause I never have.
But, from all accounts, thatpeople that attended, people
that I've talked to, that havewent many times, you know, on
several occasions, or somepeople that go every year.
You know it's a big thing inour culture.
(05:30):
Well, it was a big thing.
It's been falling off.
It's been kind of falling offlately and there's several
reasons why.
But now that the people havetook it over, because the
original, because it started upas original, the original, uh,
uh, because it was, uh, itstarted up as the essence
magazine, the periodical essencemagazine, and, um, they created
(05:56):
the festival behind it.
It was mostly for women, blackwomen, and um, it it grew, it
morphed into something really,really, really big, to a real
cultural staple in the blackamerican experience.
Right and um, people would goevery year, like you know, and
(06:20):
it's right there in new orleans,louisiana, and they had that,
that, that new orleans theme toit, the food and everything.
It was just, you know, fromfrom what I talked to people
that that attended this uhfestival, that is really a big
thing.
And, um, now that these peopletook it over, the original
owners of the brand sold it toand to.
(06:43):
He had the Shea Butter thing.
He was doing the Shea, the Shea, not Shea Butter, but the Shea
body moisturizer thing.
You know, and he's an Africanbrother, you know his origins,
his lineage goes back to Africa.
I believe it's Nigeria.
I want to say Nigeria, I'm notsure.
(07:05):
Um, let me see, can we find his, his, uh, let me see.
What's this cat's name, what'sthis dude's name?
Uh, let me go out of here.
Okay, give me one second family.
Okay, yeah, get that bed backin here.
(07:36):
Give me one second family.
I'm bringing it up.
Okay, okay, give me one second.
I'm trying to.
I should have got this stufftogether, okay, the Essence
(08:05):
Festival culture is owned andoperated by essence ventures,
which is also owns essencemagazine inside the solomon
group.
Yeah, now, remember this, thesolomon group they are.
They are, um, responsible forthe production, uh, and
execution of many aspects of thefestival.
Remember that name SolomonGroup.
(08:27):
Now, when I looked up theSolomon Group, these were all
white people.
I think they had maybe two orthree black people in the group.
It's maybe like 15 or 16 ofthem, but most of them are white
people and they're in charge ofproduction and putting a lot of
the events together at EssenceFest.
Now, I'm trying to get to thisbrother's name.
(08:52):
Who is this guy?
What's his name?
What's this cat's name?
I don't have it up here with me, but anyway, he brought the
brand.
He brought the Essence brandright Because the four original
owners were four brothers, thesefour black brothers that had
started everything up.
They started the magazine andthey were responsible for the
(09:15):
festival.
Anyway, they sold the brand andnow what's happening is they're
starting to implement Africanthemed.
They're starting to be centeredaround an African theme.
(09:35):
Now I don't know if it's theSolomon group that's responsible
for that, but I do know it wasvery.
When you people that went andthat were doing videos and
reporting on it, the eventslooked very dry.
And then Stephanie Mills sheshe was one of the performers
(09:57):
her, lauryn Hill and some otherpeople and Stephanie Mills put
out a statement and it it was.
It wasn't.
It was.
Her experience at the festivalthis year was horrible.
Let me see, can I find herstatement?
Somebody reported on herstatement.
Let me see here.
(10:18):
Yeah, she had a very badexperience.
I'm trying to find her.
She put out like a um, a tweetor whatever.
What do you call that x thing?
She put out a statement.
I don't know if it was x orwhatever, but she, uh, she
wasn't happy with the, uh, theway things were.
Okay, yeah, this is part of herstatement.
Uh, this was part of ourstatement I'm just reading a
(10:40):
small part of it and said thescheduling and time management
was severely liking, creating achaotic, a chaotic and stressful
environment backstage, this isthis disorganization cascaded
onto the stage, impacting theflow of the event and ultimately
diminishing the quality of theperformance.
(11:02):
This is part of her statement.
Um, I don't want to playanybody else's stuff up here.
I don't want to play anybody'sstuff up here, so I'm not going
to do that.
And then Lauryn Hill followedher up with her own statement.
Lauryn Hill followed her up.
So what's happening is this andthen the woman that's in charge
(11:23):
of the event or the organizingevent what's that chick's name?
The winger, something of thewinger.
She's, I think, from SouthAfrica, something like that.
But this woman, you know she'sLGBT, not that that matters, but
this woman is married to awhite woman and they got kids,
(11:44):
or whatever, I don't know.
And she's getting a lot of theheat.
She's catching a lot of theheat from the backlash of the,
the unsuccessful event, becausethat thing goes on for like a
whole week weekend, excuse me,it goes on for like a whole
(12:05):
weekend, but anyway, yeah,family.
So that's what's been happening.
Let me, let me see Can I getsomething up here, because I
heard Phil Scott talking aboutit.
Let me see Can I find thatlittle piece from Phil Scott.
Hold on, yeah, here he is.
(12:25):
Here he is.
Let's turn the music down.
Get Phil up in here.
Speaker 4 (12:29):
And she said she struggled to get her food truck
and she was going to sell herfood truck and an immigrant man
came and wanted to buy her foodtruck and he said he had 25 000
from the bank.
Speaker 2 (12:42):
I'm sorry, that's the wrong story.
That's the wrong story.
Hold on, let's.
Let's go back, let's go back,let's go back.
That was the wrong story.
That was something else a storywe're going to get into.
I had it queued up.
It was in the.
That was the wrong story.
That was something else a storywe're going to get into.
I had it queued up, it was inthe queue was the wrong story,
though, hold on, let me see alot of people are speaking about
the essence fest and theessence fest is not what it used
to be.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
The essence fest used to be a cultural you know event
for the black community everyyear and ever since the
ownership has changed, manypeople people in New Orleans
have reported that the culturalspirit that's there and what we
normally would do at EssenceFest has been going down every
single year.
(13:22):
And you look at 2025 and it'sreally really noticeable.
And because FBAs have beenspeaking about this, there are
people from the diaspora thatlive in America that really
don't like it, because we knowRichard Lou Dennis.
He's a Liberian American.
He owns Essence, and CarolineWenger, she is a Kenyan American
(13:45):
, it's the CEO.
So a magazine that started offwith four brothers now is not
owned by no FBA.
Fba isn't running it and a lotof people having a problem with
that.
Let's go ahead and check out.
This particular sister has tosay, because we have to respond
to this, because she just don'tunderstand or maybe can't
(14:08):
comprehend about us protectingour culture.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
This is why black people will remain in the
trenches, and when I say black,I mean African Americans,
africans, caribbean, blacknessas a whole.
This is why we'll remain in thetrenches, because we have so
much division in us.
It is ridiculous.
I've been seeing a lot ofvideos talking about Essence
Festival and how AfricanAmericans are by courting it and
(14:32):
how it's flopping because it'snow owned by africans.
Because the the there is noafrican-american, there is not
enough african-americanrepresentation, and the way
they're talking about africanhow condescending they talk
about african.
Or how africans, uh, theartists, how african artists are
invited, how africa.
We are never getting out of thetrenches.
(14:53):
You see our people from thecaucus mountain.
They will continue to do.
They will continue to do betterthan us, because we are very
unserious.
Us as a race, as a nation, as aand as an ethnicity, we are
very unwell.
There's something they did anumber on our head that we would
(15:14):
rather crumble individuallythan unite and do something
marvelous.
No, there's always a division.
Oh, these people are Caribbean.
Oh, these people are AfricanAmericans.
Oh, these people are African.
Meanwhile you're looking at thesame shade of black, but now,
when it comes to white folks,you can't hear.
Oh, this person is Russian.
Oh oh, this person is russian.
Oh, this person is from, uh, isfrom uk.
(15:36):
Oh no, this person is fromukraine.
No, we don't hear that shitwhen it comes to white folks,
but when it comes to blackpeople, we have different shades
of black.
I'm so divided it is nosiering.
We are on serious people nowwe're not serious who will
remain mentally enslaved tillthe end of time.
Speaker 4 (15:53):
But that last little bit.
You kept saying we, I don't, wedon't speak French, we speak
English, so that we part hasnothing to do with us.
But see, here's the thing.
Here's the thing, sis.
Let me just give you just alittle bit of education here.
Essence Fest has never been apan-african event.
Okay, if essence fest was apan-african event, then this
(16:16):
would be a legitimateconversation that you're having.
Essence fest and essencemagazine was the highlight of
the black american community,highlighted black american
actors, actresses, civil rightsleaders, sports, uh, highlighted
people in fashion.
It was more so focused on blackAmericans, not to say that they
(16:38):
didn't feature a brother orsister from the motherland, not
to say that or a brother orsister from the Caribbean, but
it was more so focused on blackAmerican culture, american
culture and what the issue thatblack Americans are having is
that Richard Lou Dennis, he isliterally trying to pan African
(16:59):
eyes, something that'sculturally black American and
that's what the rejection iscoming from.
You can't have Joloff versusJambalaya.
That will be fine if it was aPan-African event.
Yeah, bring out the Jambalaya,bring out the dirty rice, bring
out the Jolof, bring it all out.
Hey, let's go ahead and try itall.
(17:19):
Listen, if I'm at a Pan-Africanevent, I want to see every food
there, right, I want to see thecurry goat, I want to see the
Jolof, I want to see the dirtyrice, you understand.
I want to see the foo-foo andthe goosey, and bring it all to
the Pan-African event.
I expect that.
Listen, I'm going to Canadanext month.
Speaker 2 (17:41):
Okay, we're going to pause it right there he said the
foo-foo.
I don't want none of that stuff, none of it.
I don't want to try it.
I got no interest in none ofthat stuff.
I um, no, no, no, I will eatsome, some caribbean food here
and there.
I don't, I don't need it a lot.
Every once in the two blue moonsI might, I might have some,
(18:03):
some, uh, some jerk, you know,some jerk or some jerk chicken,
a piece of jerk chicken orsomething like that.
You know they rice and peas arevery good and they didn't know
how to be very good with thatcurry, those curry dishes and
stuff like that.
So that you know, I'll try thathere.
You know, periodically, notoften, not often, um, I, um, I
(18:24):
have a certain kind of way I eatand I try to stick to that.
Now, when I veer off of that,it's usually black, american, uh
, soul food dishes that I do andI try to do the healthier
versions of that.
You know I, I eat a piece offried chicken in a minute, in a
new york minute.
I ain't, I'm not gonna hold you, I'm not gonna sit here and cap
, I will eat it.
(18:45):
Man, I eat a piece of new york,a piece of southern fried
chicken in a New York minute,make no mistakes about it, make
no mistakes about it.
And I love fish, I love me somefish, some, some fried whitings
and porgies and mullets anddifferent things like that.
So yeah, but yeah, but anyway,yeah.
(19:06):
So that's been the backlash ofthese.
People have been trying topretty much Africanize the
essence festival and now youknow, we lost Frankie Beverly
last last year night.
We recently lost him and youknow Frankie Beverly.
(19:28):
Frankie Beverly was a staple atthat Essence Festival.
He would be the headliner mostof the times.
He would be the headliner thereand he performed.
It might have been at everysingle one of them and he loved
to perform in that town, thatcity of New Orleans.
He loved it there.
(19:49):
He loved that festival.
And from what I'm understandingfrom all, from all reports that
I'm getting, that they didn'teven do a tribute to this
brother, not even a tribute, noteven a mention of him.
Now how can you do that?
Now I partially blame that onon us and we're going.
Listen, man, we get.
We got to be real about thisand take the heat along with
(20:13):
what's happening.
We have to take responsibilityNow.
There's nothing wrong with doingbusiness and doing commerce
with people selling things.
You know, you create a brandand you might have to move on
from the brand and sell it toother people.
You always want to do that withclauses.
(20:33):
This is the clause.
I'm selling this to you, butwe're going to make a clause
with this.
This is how this has to go inorder to keep the tradition of
the brand.
You see what I'm saying.
So now, how you have Essence,don't, don't tribute Frankie
(20:55):
Beverly.
How, how does that happen?
So this is telling me that wang, a chick in the dude I forget
his name, phil.
You heard him mentioning guy'sname.
How, how was that an oversight?
See, this is deliberate.
Um, there's, there's nocoincidences there.
(21:16):
There are no coincidences.
This is, man, deliberateoversight.
Now again back to us.
You know, yes, we love frankie,frankie Beverly and stuff like
that, but now a lot of us, thatgeneration has is pretty much is
(21:36):
shifting and we have, we.
We are not including in myestimation of things or my
analogy of things.
We're not really including the,the millennials and the Gen
Zers and stuff like that.
We're really not including themin these cultural traditions,
(21:57):
we're not giving them the game.
So now, when you, when, whenyou have people like Frankie
Beverly pass on like there's notorch being passed because
there's somebody that wassupposed to step right up into
that and headline that thinglike that, and this is just how
I see it.
Maybe I could be wrong, butwe're not sharing, you're not,
(22:21):
we're not sharing thetraditional experience with the
next generations that are comingbehind us, and that can't
happen if, if we don't startdoing that.
I was talking to Wise salute myman, wise over at the Righteous
Perspective.
I was talking to him and wewere talking about the tradition
(22:43):
of the family reunion.
You know that this scene in theblack American community, that
the family reunion tradition isdown 47%, down to 47.
Like, like it's, it's way down,people are not doing the family
reunions like they like theyused to do.
(23:05):
Uh, 20 years ago, just 20 yearsago, people were still, you know
, families look forward to theirannual events.
Now some families do it everyyear, which in my families on
both sides my mother andfather's side they try toome on
the organizers to get, you know,two, three, maybe sometimes 400
(23:39):
people together from around thecountry to to try to uh
organize them and galvanize themto one specific place and you
try to keep it.
Um, some families they go oncruises and they go to, they
hold it and oh, they might go tobahamas and have it.
That's, that's a little.
(24:01):
That's a little out of theordinary.
The ordinary thing is to is totry to keep the reunions close
to where the elders are, becauseyou don't want to make it hard
on them.
So usually what, what people,people, the organizers trying to
do is to keep it within theconfines of where the, where the
(24:23):
elder statesmen or the familiesare.
You know, the, the, uh, thepaid, the matriarchs of the
family, so you don't want toburden them with travel and
stuff like that.
And and a lot of times, mostly,uh, like a lot of my, on my
father's side, a lot of myfamily are here in the city in
new york and and, um, some ofthem in florida, but the main
(24:47):
hub of the people are in southcarolina.
So we try to keep that.
We try to keep it close to to,to where the most people are at,
because you want the thing tobe successful.
You know, every year somefamilies, they, they move around
.
It might be in Michigan oneyear and then it might be in
Texas another year and then itmight be in Georgia the next
(25:08):
year.
After that.
That's cool if you, if, if it'snot burdensome on people, but
you're trying to keep it.
You know where it's.
Where it's not, a you knowbecomes a chore.
So yeah, but anyway, back to it.
The essence festival is veryyoung.
It's getting a lot of heat anda lot of people saying they're
(25:29):
really, they're really done withit.
They don't even want to bebothered with it no more.
Because now it's and this isnot the only time they've done
this.
They did that with the hip hopthing, you know, and their
brother had to salute the greatone, the general Tariq, that
that put together the microphonecheck movie, which I supported
(25:51):
and a lot of you probably helpedsupport, and that was a big
success.
And you had to do that thingwith the hip hop because they
was trying to do that.
It started out with the Latinosand the Jamaicans and Kool Herc
and this and that, and we hadto battle all of that.
We had to beat it back.
We had to beat it back and talkit all the way down to they
(26:16):
don't even have an argumentabout it no more, you understand
.
So we know these things aredone deliberately.
These cultural appropriationsare done purposefully.
I'm going to say I thinkthey're done purposefully.
These people know what they'redoing.
(26:37):
See, because if, if, createyour own African festival, you
know we don't bother nobody,stuff we don't.
You know I've been, I used to goto to the West Indian parade on
Eastern Park.
We're here in Brooklyn, newYork, every.
(26:57):
I didn't go every year but Iwould go sometimes and go out
there and watch the paradeattendees in their little scampi
, little outfits.
And you know they walk aroundthere with nothing but strings
on, really, and they feathersand stuff, get a piece of jerk
chicken and listen to the musicand stuff and chill out.
(27:19):
You know, just watch the some ofthe beautiful women, because
you know I really, uh, out ofall of the caribbean islands,
caribbean islands, I really lovethe trinidad the trinidadian
with them some.
To me those are the prettiestwomen of the of the west indies.
There's those on trinidad theTrinidadian.
To me those are the prettiestwomen of the West Indies.
It's those Trinidadian women.
They are some pretty women.
I mean beautiful.
(27:39):
Beautiful the Jamaican women.
Some of them are nice lookingwomen, beautiful some of them,
but they're a little more hardlooking than Trinidad and Tobago
women.
Oh my goodness them, somebeautiful women, man.
Trinidad and Tobago women oh mygoodness, some beautiful women,
man.
But anyway, anyway, back to it.
(28:01):
We don't bother those peoplewith their, with their.
We don't try to inject ourculture into their.
That's their thing.
Let them have it.
We can participate and join andgo enjoy it, you know, as
spectators, as guests, fine, butwhen it comes to our stuff,
people come.
I'm starting to notice atendency Well, not just starting
(28:24):
to notice, it's been a tendencyfor people to come and inject
themselves into our culturalthings, our cultural norms, and
I've been seeing it really.
And now it's with theJuneteenth.
You see you, now you noticenoticing Juneteenth flags, red,
black and green, all thispan-African stuff.
(28:50):
We're like the brother said, weare not Africans.
We are not.
We had an ethnogenesis here.
Go look that up, that word up,go look the term ethnogenesis,
and you come back and you tellme are we African?
I have nothing to do,absolutely nothing to do with
that continent, other than alineage, a, a distant lineage,
which most human human beingsthat are alive have a distant
(29:15):
lineage connection to thatcontinent it's, it's Asia or
Europe Most human beings aregenetically connected to.
So you know, I'm not going tosit here and go through a whole
bunch of stuff and pseudo-ismand different things like that.
It's not what this program isabout.
(29:35):
But anyway, yeah, we'respending too much time on this
topic anyway, because we got tomove, because I want to get out
of here and I hate leaving you,because I want to get out of
here and I hate leaving you, butI want to get out of here today
.
Um, the other thing and thisgoes back into um, our, our
fault is a lot of this stuff isour fault.
(29:56):
Family, we have to take the hitfor this because a lot of these
things are our fault, becausewe don't, we do not protect and
gatekeep our cultural thingslike other people in other
cultures do, and we have to takeresponsibility for that same
thing.
Here now you got karen bass,karen and the mayor of
(30:16):
california, mayor Los Angeles,california.
Karen Bass she is.
She's now what you call it, howyou call this thing Giving
these illegals money.
Right, you're just giving themmoney To.
(30:37):
She's saying it's coming fromPhilanthropists, that it's not
coming out of the coffers, thetaxpayers, it's coming out of
people, charitable, millionaire,rich people.
So she say but yeah, so Ireally don't understand how we
(31:01):
are still connected any type ofway to that Democratic Party.
I don't understand it.
We have to take, we're going tohave to take, start taking
responsibility for that.
But people in the Gen Zers andthe millennials are walking away
from that party and because ofthis they're playing right in
(31:24):
your face Now this woman she'sfrom all accounts that I know so
far.
I could be wrong, but KarenBass is a descendant of
foundational people.
She comes from the lineage.
But you got to understand.
This is a democratic agendafrom the top, from the top of
(31:45):
the DNC.
They're just not going to do.
They refuse, refuse.
Even after that big loss in theelection, they are refusing to
come to black Americans and saylisten, what?
Let us, let us have aconversation, what is it?
(32:05):
Let's get this thing together.
They're not going to do that.
They're refusing to do that andthey're going to keep losing
elections.
Now, this is why those peoplewere brought here in the first
place was to destabilize theblack vote.
Understand that family.
That's what they came.
That's what they were broughthere for to destabilize the
(32:27):
black vote.
Right, because they don't didthat.
If they got enough of thosepeople over here and these
people, people, are they rushingthem for citizenship and what
do they call this thing?
Asylum?
Giving them asylum and amnestyand stuff like that, and rushing
(32:48):
them to citizenship, fasttracking them to citizenship
that will now they no longerneed the black vote because they
got enough of these people, butit didn't work and now that
this guy's won the election,he's bouncing them out of here.
But understand this too.
Understand this too.
Pay attention, always payattention and follow the money.
(33:09):
The Republicans yes, they aredeporting these people and
different things like that, andthey just passed this big,
beautiful bill which will givethe ICE agency much more vast
resources to do the job ofdeporting these people.
But understand, they're notgoing after the.
(33:30):
The business, um, people thatare hiring these, these cheap
laborers off, you know, underthe tables.
They're not going after them.
I wonder why.
I wonder why now again, youhave a lot of the black
conservatives on their youtubechannels.
On their podcast, they'll betalking about how great trump is
(33:53):
doing.
He ran, he's probably he'sdoing everything.
He ran on that he promised thathe was going to do.
He's doing it and you know they, just they.
You know these, these MAGAhat-wearing Negroes, maga
hat-wearing Negroes that aresaying these things and you
can't tell them anything becauseTrump is doing it the way they.
(34:14):
Let them tell it he's doingeverything that he promised.
But pay attention, you're notgoing after the people that are
hiring these people and these,these big farm farmers that own
these big farmlands.
You're not going after any ofthem that are hiring these
people to do the picking because, um, people, americans, black,
(34:36):
white, whatever don't mind doingthese jobs.
It's not degrading work.
Doing farm work is notdegrading.
It's just that Americans arenot going to do it for low pay.
Farm work is very serious workand it can be very hard work,
(35:02):
you understand, and you're notnot gonna do it for nothing.
But you know that's what thatis.
Now the last thing and I wantto get out of here.
The last thing we're going totouch is we're going to about a
little bit.
This touch on is this thisEpstein thing?
(35:25):
You know, with Pam Bondi, theyknow Trump, you know he made
this statement.
He was going to he ran on thathe was going to release the
Epstein files and this and thatand as we see family, as we see
back to them, blackconservatives, the MAGA hat
wearing negroes they not talkingabout it.
(35:46):
None of them are talking aboutit.
Now, from what I'munderstanding, the MAGA crowd is
split on this thing because yougot a lot of people in MAGA, in
the MAGA community, that wantsthe lists, because Trump said he
was going to make.
You know he ran on that, gonna.
You know everybody that's onthe list is going to be revealed
(36:08):
this, this and that.
Now they it's the way I see itit may be some very, very, very
powerful, powerful, big brokersin that on those lists.
And how do we know it's a listwithout even seeing a list?
You know there's a list becausewhat's this chick?
Chris Lane Maxwell.
(36:33):
She got 20 years.
That was Epstein's partner.
She was helping him with therecruiting of the young girls,
the underage girls.
She was helping him with therecruiting of the young girls,
the underage girls.
She was helping him recruit andshe got 20 years.
Now he was in jail and, you know, supposedly hung himself right.
And go listen to MichaelFrancesi.
(36:55):
He was in the same cell thatthey had Epstein in when he was
in that jail and he said there'sno way you can hang yourself.
There is no way that you can dothat.
The cameras are on you 24 hours, seven days a week.
The cameras are on.
They might pause for to torestart them, but that's like a
minute.
You can't hang yourself in oneminute.
(37:16):
He wouldn't have had enoughtime.
But anyway, I don't want to getinto the conspiracy theories or
nothing like that because, like,I don't want to get into the
conspiracy theories or nothinglike that, because, like I said,
I want to get out of here.
But, yeah, family, soul.
So that's what it is.
And now there's none of theMAGA people talking about it.
None of them.
None of them.
Why is none of them are talkingabout, and I'm going to sit
(37:36):
back the rest of this week tosee if any of them are going to
mention it and I will have someconversations with some folks
about it.
But, um, yeah, family, so that'swhat it's been, that's what
it's been.
But anyway, we're going to getready to depart from you,
because it's been a little bitand I said we're not going to
stay today.
So, that said, family, withthat said, you must respect life
(38:01):
, love justice, cherish freedomand treasure the peace.
Come back and see us next week.
