mikes and you decide to talk down to a black woman in
Congress. Congratulations, you've shown
your hand. You have a huge platform, and
this is how you use it to tear down a black woman in power?

(00:22):
That ain't leadership. That's just blatant laziness.
What's especially frustrating isthe power dynamic.

of your words don't just travel,they shape perceptions.

Why not open a conversation about strategy or political
impact without belittling her fire?
You said Jasmine Crockett's not working because she won't cozy
up to Trump. No Sir.

(01:08):
That woman is doing the real work, standing 10 toes down
against corruption, lies and chaos.
But here's the truth, my guy. Sometimes dissent is work,
Sometimes confrontation is the only path left when systems
refuse to change. You don't get to devalue her
voice just because you can't stomach they hate.

(01:30):
But every time a black woman speaks truth with fire, somebody
gets uncomfortable. Suddenly she's the problem.
No, she's the mirror. This isn't just about Crocodile,
and it's about what happens whensomeone with platforms police
black women's page. When you shame her tone, you

shift attention away from the policies she's advancing, the
people she's fighting for in thehistory she carries.
Just to be clear though, Black women don't need your approval
to leave, darling. Stephen A Your Pike is loud, but
your impact is hollow when you tear down black women doing the

(02:10):
work you won't risk doing yourself.
Darling, if you want respect, stop belittling the very people
who are fighting so you don't have to.
Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett isn't here to be safe.
She's here to do the work. She's here to upset the balance.

(02:31):
And the louder you talk down to her, the more history will
remember whose side you were really on.
Steven and Baby History will play this back is certainly will
remember who fought for the people and who just talked for
the paycheck.
