Speaker 1 (00:01):
This is a miracle. There is no question that there
are problems in this country between police and community. Yes,
you are a donkey. The latest on that police killing
of a black man, now the new developments in the
deadly Spa shooting rampage. It was a really bad day
for him and this is what he did, and so
we are in a state of emergency. Okay. White supremacist
(00:25):
violence is always have been the number one threat to
out decide, But I'm also very proud that my wife
was white. The Practice Club, Why was I your donkey
of the day, Well, Donkey to Day for Friday, October
twenty two goes to the former U S Secretary of
State MS Condoleeza Rice. MS Rice was on the View
(00:47):
the other day and she was asked by the topic
that has been trending for a while now, and that
is critical race theory. Dropping a clue bombs for critical
race theory. Okay, what is critical race theory? Do you
want the textbook definition as well? The textbook definition is.
Critical race theory is a body of legal scholarship and
an academic movement of US civil rights scholars and activists
(01:08):
who seek to critically examine the intersection of race in
US law and to challenge mainstream American liberal approaches to
racial justice. Basically, it's the truth about America in regards
that how they treated black and Indigenous people in this
country is simply a way of understanding how American racism
is shape public policy. Okay, And numerous state legislators do
not want it in classrooms. They do not want kids
(01:30):
learning about the housing discrimination due to race. They don't
want kids learning about the impacts of criminal justice policy
in the nineties because of race, and of course, the
legacy of enslavement on black Americans. Let me be clear,
there is nothing wrong with critical race theory because CRT
is simply the truth, alright. Yes, the core idea of
CRT is that it's a social constructing that races, not
(01:52):
just the product of individual bias or prejudice, but that
is in the system. We know this though, alright. The
very foundation of America was built on scism. It's embedded
in all legal systems and policies. Neither are just facts, people,
all right, big facts like the podcast all right, salute
the Scream Banking Jade. Now, in life, especially your own
personal life, you can't hear what you don't reveal. I
(02:14):
tell you all this all the time, and that healing hurts.
It hurts because you can't run from yourself. You have
to face yourself. All the so called good, so called bad,
so called ugly, all of it has to be faced
head on. That's how you get to a place of healing.
America will never get to that place of healing because
of America keeps running from itself. Malcolm X told us
a long time ago that if we're not careful, the
(02:35):
newspapers will have us hating the people who are being
oppressed and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.
Why is this quote so important now in regard to
the CRT Because we live in an era where folks
don't want to upset the oppressive, don't want to challenge
the system because they don't want to make anyone uncomfortable.
And the reason they don't want to teach kids to truth,
(02:56):
especially little white kids, is because then those little white
may want to do something about it. They may want
some change, they may not want to go along with
this system. They will see all the things this country
has done wrong and fight like hell to change them.
That's what they're afraid of and that's why they want
to rewrite history to make the oppressive the oppressed, and
the actual oppressed. Well, we just need to get over it, alright,
(03:20):
because they want to act like it never happened. Case
in point, kind of leave the rice. Really bugs me
out when I see black people talking like this. Okay,
I don't care how long you've been accepted by the
white man. It just really bugged me out when I
see black people talking like this, like she is giving
white people a luxury they would never give her or
anyone that looks like her. You know, don't talk about
(03:41):
the truth because it makes people uncomfortable. Well, let's listen
to what she said on the view. I grew up
in segregated Birmingham, Alabama. My parents never thought I was
going to grow up in a world without prejudice. But
they also told me that's somebody else's problem, not yours.
You're gonna overcome it, and you are going to be
anything you want to be. And that's the message that
I think we ought to be sending to kids. One
(04:02):
of the worries that I have is that somehow white
people now have to feel guilty for everything that happened
in the past. I don't think that's very productive or
black people. I feel disempowered by race. I would like
black kids to be completely empowered, to know that they
are beautiful in their blackness. But in order to do that,
I don't have to make white kids feel bad for
(04:23):
being white. You know, on episode three of my late
night talk show, to God and Is Truth, we discuss
all this anti CRT rhetoric because what white people want
to teach is critical racist theory. That's actually the name
of the episode. Okay, whenever you attempting to rewrite history,
(04:43):
revise history, sugarcote history, ignore history, you're only doing this
because you are afraid of the history. And the history
of America just simply can't be ignored. And that's why
history can be broken down to his story, because if
it's not his story being told, his being the white man,
then he don't want nothing told at all. I write,
these racists and biggots don't want their racism and bigotry
(05:07):
addressed because then they would be held accountable for it,
and accountability would look like changes in racist legislation and
compensation in the form of reparations. They don't want to
have to deal with. None of that Okay, the systems
working for them, why would they want to change it? Now?
I told you all we talked about this on the
God's On His Truth. If you can go scream episode three,
(05:28):
Critical Racist Theory on Paramount plus Yourself. But one thing
we did in that episode, as I sent my guy
Dan Lathen down to d C to go to Dr
Bahere Mohammed's class, rap on a coo box for Dr
be Here Mohammed. She been on bustofore and she rounded
up some students from an HBCU to have a discussion
with a person who is anti critical race theory and
one of the sisters in the classroom her name is
(05:50):
I think I'm pronouncing this right, Kayen Solo, Kayen Solo.
She broke down how we all feel in regards the
anti critical race theory, quite simple and plain. Okay, folks
who don't want this taught because it hurts white people's feelings, Listen,
you say that crt U basically bashes all white people.
But when you look at the data, when you look
(06:12):
at the specifics and Education Week where they describe what
CRT is, it's specifically says it's not bashing all white people. Oh,
this happened, and it makes white people look bad. What
are we supposed to do on that? That's a very
good question. You know, this country was built on racism,
and oh, what do you mean? Really? Oh we can
(06:32):
get what I mean if you want to get into it,
So we can't. They got into it. They got into
it a little bit. Go watch the episode. Okay, dropping
a clue bombs for k and Solo, right and Solo. Sorry, sorry, sister.
You know I can't pronounce nothing, but what she said
is so accurate. If your feelings are hurt because the
true history of this country is being taught, then what
are we supposed to do about it? All right? Look,
(06:54):
it's simple for me, It's quite simple. I really need
you to hear me right now. If the truth makes
you uncomfortable, don't blame the truth. Blame the lies that
made you comfortable in the first place. Once again, if
the truth makes you uncomfortable, don't blame the truth, blame
(07:17):
the lies that made you comfortable in the first place.
Please give Condoleeza, Rice and any other anti critical race
there's the biggest he hall. All right, well, thank you
for that. Don't get a day and make you check
out the main show each and every Friday, ten o'clock tonight.
(07:38):

the first five episodes of The Gods on His Truth.
