In this powerful episode of Black Thought: The Spark, Pastor Gohlstin and DJ Black Unicorn dive deep into the systemic dehumanization of Black people and how it traces back to the dynamics of the slave maker and the slave master. They explore how institutions have worked to strip Black communities of independence-economically, politically, and culturally-and discuss what it takes to reclaim true self-sufficiency. From economic empowerment to mental liberation, this conversation sparks the blueprint for breaking free from modern oppression and building a future of true autonomy.

Speaker 1 (00:03):
This is w o v U Studios.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
All eight people. You're now listening to Black Thought. Everything
must change to inform, to inspire, and to impact. On
w o v U ninety five point nine FM, this
is your host, Rabbi, along with the Black Unicorn. You
the hi in the world? Are you?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I am good, blessed by the best. I will not complain,
even though I have a whole mint. I have a
pluffer of complaints right now, I really do. It's the
pre shadow of the mercury retro grade. All my millennial
friends are talking about it, and I am just surviving. No,
I'm good though, I'm good. I am good. I'm good,
And if I'm not good, I'm gonna tell myself I'm
(00:47):
good until I make it to the other side.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well, I was gonna say, you have that burrito over there.
Maybe if you take a bite of the burrito, everything
will be alright.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Maybe maybe that's maybe that's all I need, just a little.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
What did you do over the weekend?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Over the weekend, so Friday, I looked at houses. Saturday
morning I went to the Phoebe Foundation Financial Workshop. If
you are interested in that workshop, you yourself. You can
visit Phoebe Foundation dot org. That's Phoebe Foundation dot org.
Their next workshop begins May twenty second. It's only two classes.
(01:24):
Each class is two hours and it's very informative. I
learned a lot just in that one class. And then
once you're done with the workshop, you have one own
one financial coaching just to help you break those bad habits,
because it's really about habits, your daily habits, what you're doing,
what you're spending money on, what you're keeping track of
(01:45):
if you even are keeping track. So yeah, I'm just
you know, trying to strengthen my habits.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
All right, all right, Well, you know I spent some
time over the weekend with on Saturday with other commune
to the activists boycotting targets. And then, you know, this
is kind of a whole hat for me because I
go back in the sixties as a member of Corps,
So you know, I think we could do a better
(02:14):
job rather than reactionaries, be proactive in what we do. Yes,
And then I had a very well Saturday. In fact,
they had a very interesting meeting. I was able to
attend a meeting that was taking place in Richmond Heights.
(02:35):
The State Democratic Party chairman was speaking, and it got
some information from that meeting that that surprised me. And
one and one of the things was there was a
more than one hundred and sixty thousand down ballots where
people voted at the top of the ticket, but did
(02:56):
not go down the ballot, you know, and continue through
with the rest of the candidates. And that was surprising
to me. And you know, I think we we we
are at a point where we have to take a
good look at ourselves rather than at what other folks
(03:17):
are doing, and really examine what are we doing and
how are we doing it? And that leads us to
the point of we have to break the cycle of
of being dominated by the slave master. Remember last the
(03:38):
week before last, and by the way, Uni, we didn't
make it last week. You had some family emergencies and
I was unable to thank you for the box box
that you shared with me. I appreciate it, thank you.
But week before last we talked about we're talking about
breaking the curse of Willie Lynch and and and and
(04:01):
talking and discussing that those points we talked about the
difference between a slave maker and a slave master, or
the slave maker can be defined as a person who
uses barbaric tactics of torture, fear, beating, and murder by
(04:25):
example alone to obtain control. Then, a slave master is
a person who has studied the spirit, soul, and psychology
of a subject in order to master the internal operations
uh or and the internal operating principles that actually make
the person tick. And so when we look at look
(04:48):
at that, and then look at what's going on today,
we're under the influence of the slave master who has
studied us social engineers, welfare worker, prison systems, uh, doctors
and nurses, even even white theologians, et cetera. All Right,
(05:10):
I have studied us and came up with I guess
the scenario of black animalization? What what what? What? What
we do with horses is is that we break them
from one form of life to another. That is, UH,
(05:32):
we reduce them from the natural state and nature. Whereas
nature provides them with natural capacities to take care of
their needs and the needs of their offspring, we break
that natural string of independence from them and their uh
and and and theirs by by creating a dependency state,
(05:56):
so that we may be able to get them from
get from them the useful production for our businesses and pleasure.
And this is one of the things that has happened
to us. The wounds that have acquired from slave experience
over time have inflicted enough physical, social, and economic damage
(06:18):
to prove that Blacks as a people have been animalized.
Before going any father, let's review the definition of animal
as described in Webster's dictionary, any such organism other than
a human being a brutish, debased, or inhuman person. Here
(06:40):
we will expound upon the second description, stating that animal
is inhuman or debase. I think we talked about this
this morning, kind of like how they have painted us
as being the most immoral people on the face of
the Earth project.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
But it was like they have with other nationalities like
the Aboriginals that was here Barracks, right.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
But part part of it is they broke our moral
coat chain, all right, by raping, murder, breeding us, you know,
to fit their needs. Okay uh, and also by painting
themselves as being the most moral people by hiding, you know,
pregnancies that they didn't want exposed.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
We talked about that thumbs up. Yes, you see my
thumb and you're happy because you think I'm giving you
a great job.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yes, right, job thumbs up.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
But you don't see what my other forehands are doing
in my palm.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Fore see what I'm holding.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You don't see what I'm like. You don't see anything.
You just see this thumbs up and it's up at you,
and you think it's all good. But over here in
my palm, baby, I'm doing something devious.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
So Karen's daughter carrying Karen Anne is pregnant, you know,
but she goes to spend some time in Europe, you know,
spend the summer in Europe. Whether the pregnancy is terminated,
either by abortion or she gives birth to offspring. She
studied abroad. Okay. Uh And while she's studying abroad, she
(08:12):
gives birth to an offspring and puts it in a
foreign orphanage. And so we uh So they come out
being appearing to be more moral than any other people
on the face of the earth. And so what they
what happens is that in the process they are detached
(08:33):
from the very core of being that has given them value. Okay,
we're we're taken from something or someone has been debates,
become disconnected from our because we've been disconnected from our foundations.
Uh and and and it's hard, all right to reconstruct
(08:54):
if you will, new foundations. Uh, inasmuch as because again
that that ethnicity is in charge of our educational system. Uh.
Even even I'm with their own Williams now black Church,
white theology, even our theology is white knives, all right,
(09:15):
white washed by people who have nothing to do with
the creation of the religion that we were involved in
for the most part in this country, and that's Christianity.
They have tried to take in, bastardize some of it, Mormonism,
that's one Jehovah witnesses another to add their own spein
(09:37):
to it so that it can be acceptable to them.
Or they have established the theology, and you're not a
Christian unless you follow their theology, all right, if that
makes sense to us. And so we must, uh, we
must guard against the kinds of things that that they
(10:00):
are doing and come to our senses, uh and begin
to follow our scholars. I love John Henry Clark, Chancellor Williams.
Although there are people who disagree with Claude Anderson, for
the most part, Claude Anderson is right on point. They're
(10:21):
those who disagree with Oma Johnson, you know. But for
the most part, doctor Johnson is right on point. Doctor
Clark is on point. Doctor Williams is on point. My
girl in Atlanta, all right, Joey degree post traumatic slave syndrome.
(10:41):
Oh man, she's wonderful. She's right on point, and I'm
hoping she will come back here later. The Adams Board
is planning on having her back here later this summer
or late summer, early fall. And we must get with
our I mean there's so many others, yop, Uh doctor
Ben Uh there's yeah, there's yeah, there's so many others.
(11:05):
You know that we could read Robert Franklin, Uh, Adrian Carter,
Ibram Ken, dy Resma Menikim. I mean just just just
to name a few of the people, our our beloved
(11:26):
who's now back in uh Nigeria. Uh, doctor act to
Kumba Bearisha Day all right.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I don't even try the first one.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Uh, she's back in Nigeria. Uh left here frustrated because
we could not catch on and and and and so
to speak, catch up. But we have some wonderful people. Uh.
I have a classmate, doctor Robert Span. Uh Thomas Span,
I said, Robert Thomas Span, hoping that talks that Thomas
Tonight of the Bishop college preachers. We have a Zoom
(12:04):
meeting every third Tuesday at UH at nine o'clock. I'm
hoping that Thomas will be on tonight. A friend of
mine from Dallas, Texas, Keller Crockett, wonderful, a writer pointing
us to in positive directions and how to spawn Miles Monroe.
(12:31):
What's the author of Oh God Troubling Biblical Waders? Okay,
I know his name just as well as I know
my own. But I'm having one of those moments now.
But we have some wonderful people. I use the African
the African Commentary, all right. And I'm also I now
(12:53):
read from the Ethiopian Bible rather than the King James
version of the Bible or the n I V. And
so we you know, we we have some people. We
have some materials to really get us well grounded in
who we are and reconnected with much of our culture.
We may not regain all of it, but we regain
(13:16):
much of it so that we can reinvent ourselves, so
to speak, in the true African tradition. Well, listen to Uni.
I think we're going to take a little break right now.

Speaker 2 (17:25):
All right, people, you're back here with black thought. Everything
was changed to inform, to inspire, and to impact with
the Rabbi on w o v U ninety five point
ninety f M. So I think I think Morro is
saying in this book that in the case of the African,
(17:48):
the slave of African origin, the very culture, norms, and
values that allowed us to uplift and civilize our citizens
according to our own standards, we have been disconnected from
and then we have been almost well, well not not
(18:08):
almost another form of culture and dependency has been sheved
down our throats. Okay, and and uh and at at
at the threat of being annihilated or killed if you
did not assimilate, And so we had our own civilization
(18:32):
and and and you know, I think we talked about
earlier this morning. We had meant to. For instance, uh uh.
For the most part, Europeans didn't take a bath but
once a year, and May that was the May was
the month of the bath. Was the queen one, Queen
(18:54):
Queen Elizabeth. She had two baths in her life.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I was very proud of it, all right.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
One when she was born, yes, and the other when uh,
when she got married. And the stinted because we did
the women didn't wash their body parts, you know, and
the very stint This is why they said the the
the bridal bouquet came into existence to hide the foul
(19:22):
owners that came from women.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You know they've they've you know, they have not They
have been the most uncivilized people on the face of
the earth. And and so the question becomes, well, well,
Rabbi Uti, that what makes a man a woman civilized?
Are considered civilized when they act in accordance to their
understanding of the knowledge of the nature of themselves. In
(19:50):
the reverse, people become uncivilized when they become subject and
governed by the lower negative elements of their nature. And
that's what they have driven us to do. To uh,
to operate out of the lower elements of their nature.
All right. We were highly civilized uh and moral people UH,
(20:15):
and had organizations and systems and understood ourselves much more
than they and many and much of much of their
behavior is debased and animalistic, especially reptilian, which is cold blooded.
And I'll say this. There is a person who is
(20:40):
influencing the President of the United States. He's not an
elected official. He's not really been appointed to a cabinet position.
He has just inserted himself. And well, he has bribed
his way, all right. And if anything, now Evan is
(21:00):
guilty of accepting a bribe, but he did it under
the auspices of a campaign contribution.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
But anyhow, other decent politician.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
And so he has forced him maneuvered himself into uh
to have an influence on the decisions that are made governmentally.
I believe that that person is. It's an economic genius,
(21:38):
all right. I have no problems he is. You don't
become a trillionaire, all right by being stupid? No, No,
I think I've give him credit. He's an economic genius.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I would say he definitely already had a leg up though.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
But still that I've only seven lost most of his.
He had a leg up because he he's not the
sharpest knife in the drawer, all right, so he lost
much of his But this is the point I'm trying
to make, though, I think that person is a high
function being artistic. I've heard this here has no personal
(22:23):
skills and no empathy. So you were going to say
you've heard this.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I've heard this, but I haven't heard the full explanation
on why people are starting to believe this.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Well, no empathy, no people's skills, And this is how
autistics operate on that on whatever level their giftedness. At
that level, I mean, they can tear it, you know,
but in terms of being human beings, they have no
idea what that's about.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
And now all of them, it depends on where they
are on the spectrum in yes, all of that.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Oh I'm not I'm not labeling everyone, but I'm just
this particular individual.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Okay, gotcha.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
But artistics, some of the characteristics of artistics is to
have uh, no people's skills mm uh, and no empathy. Right,
that's that's one of the couple of of a major
uh uh symptoms. Mkay. When when people become a subject
(23:37):
in government by the lower uh negative elements of their nature,
which in most cases is due to the absence of
an inherent relative self knowledge M connecting them to Mother Nature.
And and again of that ethnicity is the only group
of people who lives at odds with Mother Mother Nature. M. Alright,
(24:00):
And we traced back historically and even in modern day
all right, that some call the universe of God. In
the process of making a slave, the African was eventually
stripped of any remaining background that would allow the Black
masses to connect with their natural divinity or yet claim
(24:24):
any kinship to being made in the image and likeness
of God. And so you had all the images of God.
Was this European, Jesus Christ, European, his disciples, European, his
mother and Father, European. Even the people of that time
(24:47):
when you saw, when you did see pictures of them,
they were all depicted as Europeans. And most of us nowadays,
or many of us nowadays know and understand that Christianity, Judaism,
and Islam, Abrahamic religions and Abrahamic religions are of Africa.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
They don't understand that part though. Well, in fact, I'm
not even going to say that they don't understand it.
They choose to ignore it. Yes, I think they choose
to relabel that part.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Even us, all right, even us in fact, in fact,
we don't think we're in church unless our services are
geared or formated, just like the white churches.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
We as we do a lot of things that are
formatted in a way that does not benefit us, because
we were not the ones thinking about the benefits of
that for our people. When they came up with that format.
That was for them, that can be for us, and
(26:01):
it has been for us. We have been disconnected, we
have forgotten it, and again we have to build that reconnection.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Well. One of one of the reasons for that, one
of several reasons for that is that as we were
reintroduced to religion, we were reintroduced into religion Christianity all
right in their churches, okay, And so therefore we took
on their way all right of worshiping. And we've passed
(26:32):
it on and we've listened to their their their kool aid.
We're drinking their kool aid. That if you don't do
it just like this, then you're not religious, you're not
a Christian, you're not of the faith. And so we
we have a tendency uh to copy or or to
(26:56):
uh to try to duplicate their form of worship, which
is not necessarily ours.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Everything, yes, just worship, but every aspect of life.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Well some of it, some of the you know, I'm
finding we must remember that some of it is originally
ours that they've stolen, all right, and you and Whitewashington
call it theirs. So we have to be careful as
we begin to throw things away. It might be something
that we we did have from the beginning, but they
(27:34):
took and sole relabeled it as theirs.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Right, like a bonnet of the steam or the steam engine.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Okay, the steam engine came out of Africa long before
we were made slaves and this country. So you know,
it's it's, it's it's those kinds of things that we
have to be careful. We can't throw out the baby
with the water because some of them but it is
already ours that they relabeled as theirs, or they have recolored.
(28:06):
All right. Jesus is a historical and a divine spirit. However,
he's been depicted as being blonde hair, blue eyed, but
we know differently so because he's been depicted as blond hair,
blue eyed. You know, Judaism or Israelites, you know, are
(28:31):
people of color. And I'm not being anti Semitic. I
love Jews, you know. I love the israel I love
the Hebrews of the Bible. I bless them. Okay, those
(28:52):
who are of Abraham seed m And some people are
going around who are not of Abraham Seed in their
claiming anti Semitism. If you disagree with them, if I'm
making sense. A wise people throughout the ages have taught
(29:20):
us to know thyself, but especially named Knackbar has a
good book, Know Thyself, that we should we should read
and practice. But in life of an overwhelming majority of
(29:42):
black slaves confined to the American plantation, that was never
provided the opportunity under safe conditions that would enable the
black people to ever publicly regain our humanity. In most cases,
the stronger or more educated black person was killed outright
(30:06):
in front of the rest of the slaves. As an
example of what happened to in word Boy when he
decided to become a human. All right, So if we
decided to become to assert ourselves, not really become a human,
(30:28):
but we decided to assert ourselves as humans, all right,
then we were killed. That's an uppity in word, This
example was then and is presently used as a system
of checks and balances in order to mentally produce fear
(30:53):
in black people, thus hindering an entire race of people
from a achieving true liberation. All right, And that's what
one of the things that they're afraid of. And I
think under under the underlying that uni is that they're
afraid that if we take, well not if when we
(31:16):
take and and stand up and become people again, all right,
or regain our sense of humanity, we will treat them
like they treated us. And I think reciprocity or cosmatic
law will not allow us to do that. Why is
(31:39):
that we don't want to reap this all over again? See,
if you misuse me, all right, you got something coming.
And then if I take and retaliate, if I get
on my feet, and because I'm on my feet, I
misuse you, then I got comatic law coming me again.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
So do you feel like it was the Moors that
kicked this all off in the first place? Then yes, oh, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Well history dictates it, because once again, when I was
living in Cleveland, proper and we saw somebody other ethnicity
walking down the streets. We kept an eye on them,
all right, How does the European come into Africa and
(32:33):
sneak up us, on us, on us? So it had
to be someone who looks like us that we kind
of trusted or did not feel they were out of place.
They captured us, especially for the perpetuation of Islam. They
basically would raid the Christian African villages and then taking
(32:55):
slave sell us to the Portuguese, German, French and English slavery.
And so then they took the people that had been
sold to them and brutalized them all right and raped them,
beat them all right into submission. Oh who was it? Man?
(33:19):
There was your first? Your first? Oh, man, I forgot,
Oh your first your first black village or city or
town in the Americas, all right, was a man slave
who broke away and and uh, they were unable to capture.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Him Eatonville, Florida.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
No, it was no, it was in the Caribbean. It
was in the Americans, but in the Caribbean anyway, they
tried to I sent it, I said it to you.
It's it should be in your messages. And they were able.
They weren't. They were not able to capture them, and
(34:09):
because they began to fight against them, uh and uh
with guerrilla warfare tactics, and finally they gave up and
left them alone and they created their own village that
still exists. Oh vera cruz vera, cruz vera, cruz vera
cruz yes in Mexico.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Yes, oh yeah, yeah, yes yes guys.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
All right, people, we're going to take another break here.

(38:07):
message was brought to you by the Timothy L. Tramble
Junior Memorial Scholarship Fund, United Black Fund and WOVU ninety
five point nine fl our Voice is United Mission Driven
twenty four to seven.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
All right, people, you're back here with black thought. Everything
was changed to inform to inspire in the impact. On
WOVUN ninety five point nine FLU, we were having a
good discussion off the mic you. We were talking about
how how many people who are in the Caribbean, Mexico,
(39:15):
South America UH refuse to have identified with being of
African origin, and you know, they must come to grips
with the fact that all human beings have some African
DNA at some time or another in their genes.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
They are suffering from what are considered why accepting syndrome
as well. And they wanted to detach themselves from us because,
like you mentioned during the break, we are the lowest
on tot pole in their eyes, the other's eyes because
I know, I'm not I know you not so, but
that's how they would like the old to look upon us.
(40:01):
And with that being said, that makes other nationalities that
are actually our nationality wants to detach from us.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Yeah. Well, we were talking about how the Aztecs, you know,
you know, but they have they had ancestors, and they
had ancestors and when you go back to the base ancestors,
it's of African origin. All right. All people, all right,
have some black DNA somewhere in their lineage traced back.
(40:35):
There was a scientist in Japan who wanted to prove
the Japanese with a master race, all right, the first
people on the earth. From when he got finished, he
ended up back in Africa. All right. Now, your Puerto
Ricans who ow man, But they Afro Puerto Ricans and
your Afro Jamaican, your Afro Haitian. All right. I was
(41:00):
uh with a guy yesterday from from Barbados, all right,
and he I mean he's six two six three six four.
You know, uh, deep mahogany, you know, broad nose in it,
he said, Man, you know my ancestors are from from Africa.
Uh and uh uh he said. We we those of
(41:23):
us who looked like me. We recognize that. But when
you start getting into the light of Hughes, then they
want to disconnect themselves altogether. But listen, I did a thing.
It's not original, it's not mine, but I borrowed something
from someone else. I asked everybody in the room who
(41:44):
was white to stand up. I ask everybody who in
the room who considered himself black.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
To stand joy. You remember her name, doctor Georgia Group.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
Okay. I asked everybody room who was Asian to stand up.
Everybody who considered themselves Hispanic, you know, to stand up.
Everybody who considered themselves Native American to stand up. Everybody
who you know red, black, green, you know white, red,
you know, green, brown, yellow. So everybody in the room
stood up, I said, Now I want everybody who belongs
(42:19):
to the human race, who are human beings to sit down.
The whole room set down, all right, so you get
my point. So, no matter how you've labeled yourself, the
bottom line is we all belong to the human race.
That's the only one race.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
As humans find ways to disconnect from each other, to
superioritize ourselves privileges over another. Yeah to like you just said,
allow ourselves different privileges than others. And it's so un
necessary because we are so abundant. The world has everything
(43:05):
that we need as a human race, but we make
it so complicated with all these taxes.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
And well because we want it for ourselves. You know,
it's it's you. I don't think you've experienced it because
you only had one child, But I had I had
my kids, you know, I had the similar in age,
and they be in the floor plane or you put
the toys down, and one child would take he want
(43:35):
all the toys for himself. He wanted. I don't care
if you bought him this you could buy you could
buy this one over here to hypothetically ten and by
this one one, the one with ten will want the
one that he has that the one that has one
has right, And that's that's kind of about the nature
(43:57):
human nature. We always want what we do don't have.
And you say, say you can buy this kid ten
toy trucks all the same color. You buy this kid
one toy truck the same color as the other ten,
(44:19):
it won't be. It was the fact that he has
something that he does not have. I hope I'm making sense.
He will want the one that the other one has.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
So are you saying we're born with jealous hearts?
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Yes, yes, that's part of the human nature.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
It is part of human nature. It's partying your child
christened or baptized, however you look at it.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
There's nothing new under the sun. It's just new people
doing it. You have you know what, I'm this age?
You your age, there's six the year's difference, all right. Uh.
You have a different way of expressing your age, all
(45:08):
right than I had expressing my age.
Speaker 5 (45:11):
But we still express our age. Okay. I hope I'm
making sense here.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
And so we when we understand this about ourselves. M
uh and if if if, if I've got ten, you
got one. Collectively we have eleven hmmm. And so collectively,
(45:50):
I have participation in your ten, and collectively you have
particitions participation in my one. But together we have eleven.
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
So ten is greater than all right, and one is
greater than nothing, right, and eleven is greater than one
and ten mmm. Now you can't really play with all
(46:28):
ten trucks at the same time. And this is what
you know. I want to live in a white person's neighborhood,
but I want my own neighborhood that's comparable to anything
that they may be able to build. You know, I
(46:50):
like nice things, I like quality, I like luxuries, and
I rather have them in my community. Did my neighborhood
to come over with your nasty, unwashed, unkept If I'm
(47:13):
making sense.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
It makes sense for sure.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
So people, you know, we have to take in and
understand some of the things that are going on among
in terms of how they have orchestrated things to take
advantage of us. Okay, making man exists in the state
(47:43):
of an animalst We're not animals, all right, but they
force us to exist in the state of an animal
is a twofold process. First, there is the destruction of
the decent morals, which include the perverse of people's traditional
(48:03):
native religious practices and governing social norms. These laws, rules
and regulations serve as guidelines or people's internal fortress to
protectety society and its citizens from foreign disruption and disorder.
(48:24):
As during the years of physical bondage. The bulk of
the Black community today is suffering internally because of the
debasement of our human function or foundation. That foundation consists
of a high level of moral ethical conduct supported by
(48:47):
belief in the laws of nature. And one of the
other good books that I would recommend you hear you
the six years I've been on this station, almost every
week or every month you hear me talk about Ja
Rogers From Superman to Man is an excellent book that
draws the parallels. Secondly, the dehumanization of the African happened
(49:17):
during the entire process of kidnapping, sale, and forced enslavement.
This included the housing of masses of slaves and a
hayfield barnes with the beasts of the field, a process
that included the installation of gold or silver caps on
(49:39):
the front teeth of the black slave for the purpose
of identification. That many of us today where for decoration.
In many cases this was the treatment given to the
horses negroes, horses and negroes, but most wor the master's
(50:01):
marked burned by the branding iron heated with burning coals.
This is one of the early stages of deh dehumanization
suffered by the black slave, and like them today, many
of us were the symbols of the legacy of our
pressors on our black bodies. This second phase deals with
(50:26):
the spiritual perversion of a people based on training the
black African under the Western psychologically a demonstrated system of indoctrination.
This starts with the very moment when people are stripped
of the personal duties and responsibilities of doing for themselves
(50:51):
under a system organized and constructed by their own peers.
The Woolly Lynch method explained this as the creation of
a state of dependency in the modern terms of welfare,
a welfare state, and any black male or female that
(51:11):
does anything other than the norm could easily be classified
as an enemy of the state. We as people black people,
should be aware that the moment we begin to depend
on someone else to do for us what with unity
we could do for ourselves, we have given them power
(51:34):
over our lives. This automatically gives the old slave master
and his offspring the upper hand. Hello the last paragraph,
I think we'll do a deal with animalization. As a nation,
(51:55):
black people continue to suffer economically during the era of
the freedman's beulse and I ignorance to do something for ourselves.
We were forced to turn right back around and offer
black labor to the former slave masters in the form
of sharecropping, and that was manipulated. Uh, you had script money,
(52:21):
all right. You know I'm working for you. You printing
up your own money, and I can only spend it.
You set up a store, all right, and I can
only can buy my goods and clothing necessities from you.
You get the money right back.
Speaker 5 (52:41):
Yep, yes it is, Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (52:49):
You know something else Sunday this weekend and all the
way out, Rabbi. I watched Do the Right Thing. Okay,
watching now with adult eyes, m because I haven't watched
it in years, probably since I was a teenager. This
movie came out the year I was born eighty nine,
and it's labeled as a comedy drama. I'm probably having
(53:15):
a hard time saying that because it was sad. I
didn't laugh that many times, like it was funny. I
had his funny bobas, but to be labeled ecomoedy comedy
was interesting. But I bring up me watching this movie
to say, you remember the scene at the end when
(53:36):
they like pretty much destroyed the pizzeria, right, And when
I was watching it, I was watching with my partner
and he said, you treat them like animals, they gonna
act like animals. And that's what made me think of
that this topic today and what he said, and just
watching the movie and just how surreal it all was
(54:00):
over pictures on the wall, something so simple, but not
to mention they all fail to realize this is an
Italian own pizzeria. Yes it's in a black neighborhood, but
y'all go to him every day to get pizza. Like,
why it didn't have to be that way? You know,
(54:20):
it's just so many we can go through so many
rabbit holes when it comes to do the right thing.
But my point is you treat them like animals, They're
gonna act like animal.
Speaker 2 (54:28):
Yes, and that's what they did and we have we have,
we have emulated this and they continue to do that right,
and we refuse to drink the kool aid, it's the
answer we keep drinking their kool aid. I agree, and
(54:54):
so when we stop, all right, we understand the one
thing I I think that we we're comfortable in our oppression.
So it's more comfortable to stay in this than to
stand up and have something else disrupt our discomfort. So
(55:15):
we rather put up with this because they're letting us
alone in it to some. But now what's going on
since January twentieth is that they're not letting us alone
in our discomfort, I mean in our yes, in our
discomfort and our suffering.
Speaker 1 (55:33):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (55:34):
All right, they're coming back at us again because even
where we're comfortable, they don't want that.
Speaker 1 (55:40):
I said, oh no, they too good.
Speaker 2 (55:42):
Yes, they're too good.
Speaker 1 (55:43):
Not realizing we're about to be great on our own,
with our own everything. They don't even worry about us.
In fact, y'all should probably start catering toall y'all pink
customers such as yourselves, and don't worry about us.
Speaker 2 (55:55):
Yeah. Absolutely, well, listen, we're just about done here, UNI,
so listen. I will end the show by saying, people,
thank you again for listening to our offerings, and I
want you to know that I will drink from my
(56:16):
part of the river, and no one shall keep me
from it. And you have been listening to black thought.
Everything was changed on w O v U ninety five
point nine f M. Until next time, Shalom Habbah
This is w o v U Studios.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
All eight people. You're now listening to Black Thought. Everything
must change to inform, to inspire, and to impact. On
w o v U ninety five point nine FM, this
is your host, Rabbi, along with the Black Unicorn. You
the hi in the world? Are you?
Speaker 1 (00:25):
I am good, blessed by the best. I will not complain,
even though I have a whole mint. I have a
pluffer of complaints right now, I really do. It's the
pre shadow of the mercury retro grade. All my millennial
friends are talking about it, and I am just surviving. No,
I'm good though, I'm good. I am good. I'm good,
And if I'm not good, I'm gonna tell myself I'm
(00:47):
good until I make it to the other side.
Speaker 2 (00:50):
Well, I was gonna say, you have that burrito over there.
Maybe if you take a bite of the burrito, everything
will be alright.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Maybe maybe that's maybe that's all I need, just a little.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
What did you do over the weekend?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Over the weekend, so Friday, I looked at houses. Saturday
morning I went to the Phoebe Foundation Financial Workshop. If
you are interested in that workshop, you yourself. You can
visit Phoebe Foundation dot org. That's Phoebe Foundation dot org.
Their next workshop begins May twenty second. It's only two classes.
(01:24):
Each class is two hours and it's very informative. I
learned a lot just in that one class. And then
once you're done with the workshop, you have one own
one financial coaching just to help you break those bad habits,
because it's really about habits, your daily habits, what you're doing,
what you're spending money on, what you're keeping track of
(01:45):
if you even are keeping track. So yeah, I'm just
you know, trying to strengthen my habits.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
All right, all right, Well, you know I spent some
time over the weekend with on Saturday with other commune
to the activists boycotting targets. And then, you know, this
is kind of a whole hat for me because I
go back in the sixties as a member of Corps,
So you know, I think we could do a better
(02:14):
job rather than reactionaries, be proactive in what we do. Yes,
And then I had a very well Saturday. In fact,
they had a very interesting meeting. I was able to
attend a meeting that was taking place in Richmond Heights.
(02:35):
The State Democratic Party chairman was speaking, and it got
some information from that meeting that that surprised me. And
one and one of the things was there was a
more than one hundred and sixty thousand down ballots where
people voted at the top of the ticket, but did
(02:56):
not go down the ballot, you know, and continue through
with the rest of the candidates. And that was surprising
to me. And you know, I think we we we
are at a point where we have to take a
good look at ourselves rather than at what other folks
(03:17):
are doing, and really examine what are we doing and
how are we doing it? And that leads us to
the point of we have to break the cycle of
of being dominated by the slave master. Remember last the
(03:38):
week before last, and by the way, Uni, we didn't
make it last week. You had some family emergencies and
I was unable to thank you for the box box
that you shared with me. I appreciate it, thank you.
But week before last we talked about we're talking about
breaking the curse of Willie Lynch and and and and
(04:01):
talking and discussing that those points we talked about the
difference between a slave maker and a slave master, or
the slave maker can be defined as a person who
uses barbaric tactics of torture, fear, beating, and murder by
(04:25):
example alone to obtain control. Then, a slave master is
a person who has studied the spirit, soul, and psychology
of a subject in order to master the internal operations
uh or and the internal operating principles that actually make
the person tick. And so when we look at look
(04:48):
at that, and then look at what's going on today,
we're under the influence of the slave master who has
studied us social engineers, welfare worker, prison systems, uh, doctors
and nurses, even even white theologians, et cetera. All Right,
(05:10):
I have studied us and came up with I guess
the scenario of black animalization? What what what? What? What
we do with horses is is that we break them
from one form of life to another. That is, UH,
(05:32):
we reduce them from the natural state and nature. Whereas
nature provides them with natural capacities to take care of
their needs and the needs of their offspring, we break
that natural string of independence from them and their uh
and and and theirs by by creating a dependency state,
(05:56):
so that we may be able to get them from
get from them the useful production for our businesses and pleasure.
And this is one of the things that has happened
to us. The wounds that have acquired from slave experience
over time have inflicted enough physical, social, and economic damage
(06:18):
to prove that Blacks as a people have been animalized.
Before going any father, let's review the definition of animal
as described in Webster's dictionary, any such organism other than
a human being a brutish, debased, or inhuman person. Here
(06:40):
we will expound upon the second description, stating that animal
is inhuman or debase. I think we talked about this
this morning, kind of like how they have painted us
as being the most immoral people on the face of
the Earth project.
Speaker 1 (07:00):
But it was like they have with other nationalities like
the Aboriginals that was here Barracks, right.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
But part part of it is they broke our moral
coat chain, all right, by raping, murder, breeding us, you know,
to fit their needs. Okay uh, and also by painting
themselves as being the most moral people by hiding, you know,
pregnancies that they didn't want exposed.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
We talked about that thumbs up. Yes, you see my
thumb and you're happy because you think I'm giving you
a great job.
Speaker 2 (07:33):
Yes, right, job thumbs up.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
But you don't see what my other forehands are doing
in my palm.
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Fore see what I'm holding.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
You don't see what I'm like. You don't see anything.
You just see this thumbs up and it's up at you,
and you think it's all good. But over here in
my palm, baby, I'm doing something devious.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
So Karen's daughter carrying Karen Anne is pregnant, you know,
but she goes to spend some time in Europe, you know,
spend the summer in Europe. Whether the pregnancy is terminated,
either by abortion or she gives birth to offspring. She
studied abroad. Okay. Uh And while she's studying abroad, she
(08:12):
gives birth to an offspring and puts it in a
foreign orphanage. And so we uh So they come out
being appearing to be more moral than any other people
on the face of the earth. And so what they
what happens is that in the process they are detached
(08:33):
from the very core of being that has given them value. Okay,
we're we're taken from something or someone has been debates,
become disconnected from our because we've been disconnected from our foundations.
Uh and and and it's hard, all right to reconstruct
(08:54):
if you will, new foundations. Uh, inasmuch as because again
that that ethnicity is in charge of our educational system. Uh.
Even even I'm with their own Williams now black Church,
white theology, even our theology is white knives, all right,
(09:15):
white washed by people who have nothing to do with
the creation of the religion that we were involved in
for the most part in this country, and that's Christianity.
They have tried to take in, bastardize some of it, Mormonism,
that's one Jehovah witnesses another to add their own spein
(09:37):
to it so that it can be acceptable to them.
Or they have established the theology, and you're not a
Christian unless you follow their theology, all right, if that
makes sense to us. And so we must, uh, we
must guard against the kinds of things that that they
(10:00):
are doing and come to our senses, uh and begin
to follow our scholars. I love John Henry Clark, Chancellor Williams.
Although there are people who disagree with Claude Anderson, for
the most part, Claude Anderson is right on point. They're
(10:21):
those who disagree with Oma Johnson, you know. But for
the most part, doctor Johnson is right on point. Doctor
Clark is on point. Doctor Williams is on point. My
girl in Atlanta, all right, Joey degree post traumatic slave syndrome.
(10:41):
Oh man, she's wonderful. She's right on point, and I'm
hoping she will come back here later. The Adams Board
is planning on having her back here later this summer
or late summer, early fall. And we must get with
our I mean there's so many others, yop, Uh doctor
Ben Uh there's yeah, there's yeah, there's so many others.
(11:05):
You know that we could read Robert Franklin, Uh, Adrian Carter,
Ibram Ken, dy Resma Menikim. I mean just just just
to name a few of the people, our our beloved
(11:26):
who's now back in uh Nigeria. Uh, doctor act to
Kumba Bearisha Day all right.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
I don't even try the first one.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Uh, she's back in Nigeria. Uh left here frustrated because
we could not catch on and and and and so
to speak, catch up. But we have some wonderful people. Uh.
I have a classmate, doctor Robert Span. Uh Thomas Span,
I said, Robert Thomas Span, hoping that talks that Thomas
Tonight of the Bishop college preachers. We have a Zoom
(12:04):
meeting every third Tuesday at UH at nine o'clock. I'm
hoping that Thomas will be on tonight. A friend of
mine from Dallas, Texas, Keller Crockett, wonderful, a writer pointing
us to in positive directions and how to spawn Miles Monroe.
(12:31):
What's the author of Oh God Troubling Biblical Waders? Okay,
I know his name just as well as I know
my own. But I'm having one of those moments now.
But we have some wonderful people. I use the African
the African Commentary, all right. And I'm also I now
(12:53):
read from the Ethiopian Bible rather than the King James
version of the Bible or the n I V. And
so we you know, we we have some people. We
have some materials to really get us well grounded in
who we are and reconnected with much of our culture.
We may not regain all of it, but we regain
(13:16):
much of it so that we can reinvent ourselves, so
to speak, in the true African tradition. Well, listen to Uni.

All right, people, you're back here with black thought. Everything
was changed to inform, to inspire, and to impact with
the Rabbi on w o v U ninety five point
ninety f M. So I think I think Morro is
saying in this book that in the case of the African,
(17:48):
the slave of African origin, the very culture, norms, and
values that allowed us to uplift and civilize our citizens
according to our own standards, we have been disconnected from
and then we have been almost well, well not not
(18:08):
almost another form of culture and dependency has been sheved
down our throats. Okay, and and uh and at at
at the threat of being annihilated or killed if you
did not assimilate, And so we had our own civilization
(18:32):
and and and you know, I think we talked about
earlier this morning. We had meant to. For instance, uh uh.
For the most part, Europeans didn't take a bath but
once a year, and May that was the May was
the month of the bath. Was the queen one, Queen
(18:54):
Queen Elizabeth. She had two baths in her life.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
I was very proud of it, all right.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
One when she was born, yes, and the other when uh,
when she got married. And the stinted because we did
the women didn't wash their body parts, you know, and
the very stint This is why they said the the
the bridal bouquet came into existence to hide the foul
(19:22):
owners that came from women.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
You know.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
You know they've they've you know, they have not They
have been the most uncivilized people on the face of
the earth. And and so the question becomes, well, well,
Rabbi Uti, that what makes a man a woman civilized?
Are considered civilized when they act in accordance to their
understanding of the knowledge of the nature of themselves. In
(19:50):
the reverse, people become uncivilized when they become subject and
governed by the lower negative elements of their nature. And
that's what they have driven us to do. To uh,
to operate out of the lower elements of their nature.
All right. We were highly civilized uh and moral people UH,
(20:15):
and had organizations and systems and understood ourselves much more
than they and many and much of much of their
behavior is debased and animalistic, especially reptilian, which is cold blooded.
And I'll say this. There is a person who is
(20:40):
influencing the President of the United States. He's not an
elected official. He's not really been appointed to a cabinet position.
He has just inserted himself. And well, he has bribed
his way, all right. And if anything, now Evan is
(21:00):
guilty of accepting a bribe, but he did it under
the auspices of a campaign contribution.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
But anyhow, other decent politician.
Speaker 2 (21:15):
And so he has forced him maneuvered himself into uh
to have an influence on the decisions that are made governmentally.
I believe that that person is. It's an economic genius,
(21:38):
all right. I have no problems he is. You don't
become a trillionaire, all right by being stupid? No, No,
I think I've give him credit. He's an economic genius.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
I would say he definitely already had a leg up though.
Speaker 2 (21:58):
But still that I've only seven lost most of his.
He had a leg up because he he's not the
sharpest knife in the drawer, all right, so he lost
much of his But this is the point I'm trying
to make, though, I think that person is a high
function being artistic. I've heard this here has no personal
(22:23):
skills and no empathy. So you were going to say
you've heard this.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
I've heard this, but I haven't heard the full explanation
on why people are starting to believe this.
Speaker 2 (22:37):
Well, no empathy, no people's skills, And this is how
autistics operate on that on whatever level their giftedness. At
that level, I mean, they can tear it, you know,
but in terms of being human beings, they have no
idea what that's about.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
And now all of them, it depends on where they
are on the spectrum in yes, all of that.
Speaker 2 (23:05):
Oh I'm not I'm not labeling everyone, but I'm just
this particular individual.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Okay, gotcha.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
But artistics, some of the characteristics of artistics is to
have uh, no people's skills mm uh, and no empathy. Right,
that's that's one of the couple of of a major
uh uh symptoms. Mkay. When when people become a subject
(23:37):
in government by the lower uh negative elements of their nature,
which in most cases is due to the absence of
an inherent relative self knowledge M connecting them to Mother Nature.
And and again of that ethnicity is the only group
of people who lives at odds with Mother Mother Nature. M. Alright,
(24:00):
And we traced back historically and even in modern day
all right, that some call the universe of God. In
the process of making a slave, the African was eventually
stripped of any remaining background that would allow the Black
masses to connect with their natural divinity or yet claim
(24:24):
any kinship to being made in the image and likeness
of God. And so you had all the images of God.
Was this European, Jesus Christ, European, his disciples, European, his
mother and Father, European. Even the people of that time
(24:47):
when you saw, when you did see pictures of them,
they were all depicted as Europeans. And most of us nowadays,
or many of us nowadays know and understand that Christianity, Judaism,
and Islam, Abrahamic religions and Abrahamic religions are of Africa.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
They don't understand that part though. Well, in fact, I'm
not even going to say that they don't understand it.
They choose to ignore it. Yes, I think they choose
to relabel that part.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Even us, all right, even us in fact, in fact,
we don't think we're in church unless our services are
geared or formated, just like the white churches.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
We as we do a lot of things that are
formatted in a way that does not benefit us, because
we were not the ones thinking about the benefits of
that for our people. When they came up with that format.
That was for them, that can be for us, and
(26:01):
it has been for us. We have been disconnected, we
have forgotten it, and again we have to build that reconnection.
Speaker 2 (26:10):
Well. One of one of the reasons for that, one
of several reasons for that is that as we were
reintroduced to religion, we were reintroduced into religion Christianity all
right in their churches, okay, And so therefore we took
on their way all right of worshiping. And we've passed
(26:32):
it on and we've listened to their their their kool aid.
We're drinking their kool aid. That if you don't do
it just like this, then you're not religious, you're not
a Christian, you're not of the faith. And so we
we have a tendency uh to copy or or to
(26:56):
uh to try to duplicate their form of worship, which
is not necessarily ours.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
Everything, yes, just worship, but every aspect of life.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Well some of it, some of the you know, I'm
finding we must remember that some of it is originally
ours that they've stolen, all right, and you and Whitewashington
call it theirs. So we have to be careful as
we begin to throw things away. It might be something
that we we did have from the beginning, but they
(27:34):
took and sole relabeled it as theirs.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
Right, like a bonnet of the steam or the steam engine.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Okay, the steam engine came out of Africa long before
we were made slaves and this country. So you know,
it's it's, it's it's those kinds of things that we
have to be careful. We can't throw out the baby
with the water because some of them but it is
already ours that they relabeled as theirs, or they have recolored.
(28:06):
All right. Jesus is a historical and a divine spirit. However,
he's been depicted as being blonde hair, blue eyed, but
we know differently so because he's been depicted as blond hair,
blue eyed. You know, Judaism or Israelites, you know, are
(28:31):
people of color. And I'm not being anti Semitic. I
love Jews, you know. I love the israel I love
the Hebrews of the Bible. I bless them. Okay, those
(28:52):
who are of Abraham seed m And some people are
going around who are not of Abraham Seed in their
claiming anti Semitism. If you disagree with them, if I'm
making sense. A wise people throughout the ages have taught
(29:20):
us to know thyself, but especially named Knackbar has a
good book, Know Thyself, that we should we should read
and practice. But in life of an overwhelming majority of
(29:42):
black slaves confined to the American plantation, that was never
provided the opportunity under safe conditions that would enable the
black people to ever publicly regain our humanity. In most cases,
the stronger or more educated black person was killed outright
(30:06):
in front of the rest of the slaves. As an
example of what happened to in word Boy when he
decided to become a human. All right, So if we
decided to become to assert ourselves, not really become a human,
(30:28):
but we decided to assert ourselves as humans, all right,
then we were killed. That's an uppity in word, This
example was then and is presently used as a system
of checks and balances in order to mentally produce fear
(30:53):
in black people, thus hindering an entire race of people
from a achieving true liberation. All right, And that's what
one of the things that they're afraid of. And I
think under under the underlying that uni is that they're
afraid that if we take, well not if when we
(31:16):
take and and stand up and become people again, all right,
or regain our sense of humanity, we will treat them
like they treated us. And I think reciprocity or cosmatic
law will not allow us to do that. Why is
(31:39):
that we don't want to reap this all over again? See,
if you misuse me, all right, you got something coming.
And then if I take and retaliate, if I get
on my feet, and because I'm on my feet, I
misuse you, then I got comatic law coming me again.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
So do you feel like it was the Moors that
kicked this all off in the first place? Then yes, oh, okay, okay, okay.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Well history dictates it, because once again, when I was
living in Cleveland, proper and we saw somebody other ethnicity
walking down the streets. We kept an eye on them,
all right, How does the European come into Africa and
(32:33):
sneak up us, on us, on us? So it had
to be someone who looks like us that we kind
of trusted or did not feel they were out of place.
They captured us, especially for the perpetuation of Islam. They
basically would raid the Christian African villages and then taking
(32:55):
slave sell us to the Portuguese, German, French and English slavery.
And so then they took the people that had been
sold to them and brutalized them all right and raped them,
beat them all right into submission. Oh who was it? Man?
(33:19):
There was your first? Your first? Oh, man, I forgot,
Oh your first your first black village or city or
town in the Americas, all right, was a man slave
who broke away and and uh, they were unable to capture.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Him Eatonville, Florida.
Speaker 2 (33:48):
No, it was no, it was in the Caribbean. It
was in the Americans, but in the Caribbean anyway, they
tried to I sent it, I said it to you.
It's it should be in your messages. And they were able.
They weren't. They were not able to capture them, and
(34:09):
because they began to fight against them, uh and uh
with guerrilla warfare tactics, and finally they gave up and
left them alone and they created their own village that
still exists. Oh vera cruz vera, cruz vera, cruz vera
cruz yes in Mexico.
Speaker 5 (34:31):
Yes, oh yeah, yeah, yes yes guys.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
All right, people, we're going to take another break here.
You have been listening to black thought. Everything was changed
on w O v U ninety five point nine f M.
We will be right back.

(38:07):
message was brought to you by the Timothy L. Tramble
Junior Memorial Scholarship Fund, United Black Fund and WOVU ninety
five point nine fl our Voice is United Mission Driven
twenty four to seven.
Speaker 2 (38:52):
All right, people, you're back here with black thought. Everything
was changed to inform to inspire in the impact. On
WOVUN ninety five point nine FLU, we were having a
good discussion off the mic you. We were talking about
how how many people who are in the Caribbean, Mexico,
(39:15):
South America UH refuse to have identified with being of
African origin, and you know, they must come to grips
with the fact that all human beings have some African
DNA at some time or another in their genes.
Speaker 1 (39:38):
They are suffering from what are considered why accepting syndrome
as well. And they wanted to detach themselves from us because,
like you mentioned during the break, we are the lowest
on tot pole in their eyes, the other's eyes because
I know, I'm not I know you not so, but
that's how they would like the old to look upon us.
(40:01):
And with that being said, that makes other nationalities that
are actually our nationality wants to detach from us.
Speaker 2 (40:12):
Yeah. Well, we were talking about how the Aztecs, you know,
you know, but they have they had ancestors, and they
had ancestors and when you go back to the base ancestors,
it's of African origin. All right. All people, all right,
have some black DNA somewhere in their lineage traced back.
(40:35):
There was a scientist in Japan who wanted to prove
the Japanese with a master race, all right, the first
people on the earth. From when he got finished, he
ended up back in Africa. All right. Now, your Puerto
Ricans who ow man, But they Afro Puerto Ricans and
your Afro Jamaican, your Afro Haitian. All right. I was
(41:00):
uh with a guy yesterday from from Barbados, all right,
and he I mean he's six two six three six four.
You know, uh, deep mahogany, you know, broad nose in it,
he said, Man, you know my ancestors are from from Africa.
Uh and uh uh he said. We we those of
(41:23):
us who looked like me. We recognize that. But when
you start getting into the light of Hughes, then they
want to disconnect themselves altogether. But listen, I did a thing.
It's not original, it's not mine, but I borrowed something
from someone else. I asked everybody in the room who
(41:44):
was white to stand up. I ask everybody who in
the room who considered himself black.
Speaker 1 (41:51):
To stand joy. You remember her name, doctor Georgia Group.
Speaker 2 (41:58):
Okay. I asked everybody room who was Asian to stand up.
Everybody who considered themselves Hispanic, you know, to stand up.
Everybody who considered themselves Native American to stand up. Everybody
who you know red, black, green, you know white, red,
you know, green, brown, yellow. So everybody in the room
stood up, I said, Now I want everybody who belongs
(42:19):
to the human race, who are human beings to sit down.
The whole room set down, all right, so you get
my point. So, no matter how you've labeled yourself, the
bottom line is we all belong to the human race.
That's the only one race.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
As humans find ways to disconnect from each other, to
superioritize ourselves privileges over another. Yeah to like you just said,
allow ourselves different privileges than others. And it's so un
necessary because we are so abundant. The world has everything
(43:05):
that we need as a human race, but we make
it so complicated with all these taxes.
Speaker 2 (43:14):
And well because we want it for ourselves. You know,
it's it's you. I don't think you've experienced it because
you only had one child, But I had I had
my kids, you know, I had the similar in age,
and they be in the floor plane or you put
the toys down, and one child would take he want
(43:35):
all the toys for himself. He wanted. I don't care
if you bought him this you could buy you could
buy this one over here to hypothetically ten and by
this one one, the one with ten will want the
one that he has that the one that has one
has right, And that's that's kind of about the nature
(43:57):
human nature. We always want what we do don't have.
And you say, say you can buy this kid ten
toy trucks all the same color. You buy this kid
one toy truck the same color as the other ten,
(44:19):
it won't be. It was the fact that he has
something that he does not have. I hope I'm making sense.
He will want the one that the other one has.
Speaker 1 (44:28):
So are you saying we're born with jealous hearts?
Speaker 2 (44:33):
Yes, yes, that's part of the human nature.
Speaker 1 (44:39):
It is part of human nature. It's partying your child
christened or baptized, however you look at it.
Speaker 2 (44:46):
There's nothing new under the sun. It's just new people
doing it. You have you know what, I'm this age?
You your age, there's six the year's difference, all right. Uh.
You have a different way of expressing your age, all
(45:08):
right than I had expressing my age.
Speaker 5 (45:11):
But we still express our age. Okay. I hope I'm
making sense here.
Speaker 1 (45:22):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (45:24):
And so we when we understand this about ourselves. M
uh and if if if, if I've got ten, you
got one. Collectively we have eleven hmmm. And so collectively,
(45:50):
I have participation in your ten, and collectively you have
particitions participation in my one. But together we have eleven.
Mm hmm.
Speaker 1 (46:04):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (46:05):
So ten is greater than all right, and one is
greater than nothing, right, and eleven is greater than one
and ten mmm. Now you can't really play with all
(46:28):
ten trucks at the same time. And this is what
you know. I want to live in a white person's neighborhood,
but I want my own neighborhood that's comparable to anything
that they may be able to build. You know, I
(46:50):
like nice things, I like quality, I like luxuries, and
I rather have them in my community. Did my neighborhood
to come over with your nasty, unwashed, unkept If I'm
(47:13):
making sense.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
It makes sense for sure.
Speaker 2 (47:19):
So people, you know, we have to take in and
understand some of the things that are going on among
in terms of how they have orchestrated things to take
advantage of us. Okay, making man exists in the state
(47:43):
of an animalst We're not animals, all right, but they
force us to exist in the state of an animal
is a twofold process. First, there is the destruction of
the decent morals, which include the perverse of people's traditional
(48:03):
native religious practices and governing social norms. These laws, rules
and regulations serve as guidelines or people's internal fortress to
protectety society and its citizens from foreign disruption and disorder.
(48:24):
As during the years of physical bondage. The bulk of
the Black community today is suffering internally because of the
debasement of our human function or foundation. That foundation consists
of a high level of moral ethical conduct supported by
(48:47):
belief in the laws of nature. And one of the
other good books that I would recommend you hear you
the six years I've been on this station, almost every
week or every month you hear me talk about Ja
Rogers From Superman to Man is an excellent book that
draws the parallels. Secondly, the dehumanization of the African happened
(49:17):
during the entire process of kidnapping, sale, and forced enslavement.
This included the housing of masses of slaves and a
hayfield barnes with the beasts of the field, a process
that included the installation of gold or silver caps on
(49:39):
the front teeth of the black slave for the purpose
of identification. That many of us today where for decoration.
In many cases this was the treatment given to the
horses negroes, horses and negroes, but most wor the master's
(50:01):
marked burned by the branding iron heated with burning coals.
This is one of the early stages of deh dehumanization
suffered by the black slave, and like them today, many
of us were the symbols of the legacy of our
pressors on our black bodies. This second phase deals with
(50:26):
the spiritual perversion of a people based on training the
black African under the Western psychologically a demonstrated system of indoctrination.
This starts with the very moment when people are stripped
of the personal duties and responsibilities of doing for themselves
(50:51):
under a system organized and constructed by their own peers.
The Woolly Lynch method explained this as the creation of
a state of dependency in the modern terms of welfare,
a welfare state, and any black male or female that
(51:11):
does anything other than the norm could easily be classified
as an enemy of the state. We as people black people,
should be aware that the moment we begin to depend
on someone else to do for us what with unity
we could do for ourselves, we have given them power
(51:34):
over our lives. This automatically gives the old slave master
and his offspring the upper hand. Hello the last paragraph,
I think we'll do a deal with animalization. As a nation,
(51:55):
black people continue to suffer economically during the era of
the freedman's beulse and I ignorance to do something for ourselves.
We were forced to turn right back around and offer
black labor to the former slave masters in the form
of sharecropping, and that was manipulated. Uh, you had script money,
(52:21):
all right. You know I'm working for you. You printing
up your own money, and I can only spend it.
You set up a store, all right, and I can
only can buy my goods and clothing necessities from you.
You get the money right back.
Speaker 5 (52:41):
Yep, yes it is, Yes it is.
Speaker 1 (52:49):
You know something else Sunday this weekend and all the
way out, Rabbi. I watched Do the Right Thing. Okay,
watching now with adult eyes, m because I haven't watched
it in years, probably since I was a teenager. This
movie came out the year I was born eighty nine,
and it's labeled as a comedy drama. I'm probably having
(53:15):
a hard time saying that because it was sad. I
didn't laugh that many times, like it was funny. I
had his funny bobas, but to be labeled ecomoedy comedy
was interesting. But I bring up me watching this movie
to say, you remember the scene at the end when
(53:36):
they like pretty much destroyed the pizzeria, right, And when
I was watching it, I was watching with my partner
and he said, you treat them like animals, they gonna
act like animals. And that's what made me think of
that this topic today and what he said, and just
watching the movie and just how surreal it all was
(54:00):
over pictures on the wall, something so simple, but not
to mention they all fail to realize this is an
Italian own pizzeria. Yes it's in a black neighborhood, but
y'all go to him every day to get pizza. Like,
why it didn't have to be that way? You know,
(54:20):
it's just so many we can go through so many
rabbit holes when it comes to do the right thing.
But my point is you treat them like animals, They're
gonna act like animal.
Speaker 2 (54:28):
Yes, and that's what they did and we have we have,
we have emulated this and they continue to do that right,
and we refuse to drink the kool aid, it's the
answer we keep drinking their kool aid. I agree, and
(54:54):
so when we stop, all right, we understand the one
thing I I think that we we're comfortable in our oppression.
So it's more comfortable to stay in this than to
stand up and have something else disrupt our discomfort. So
(55:15):
we rather put up with this because they're letting us
alone in it to some. But now what's going on
since January twentieth is that they're not letting us alone
in our discomfort, I mean in our yes, in our
discomfort and our suffering.
Speaker 1 (55:33):
That's true.
Speaker 2 (55:34):
All right, they're coming back at us again because even
where we're comfortable, they don't want that.
Speaker 1 (55:40):
I said, oh no, they too good.
Speaker 2 (55:42):
Yes, they're too good.
Speaker 1 (55:43):
Not realizing we're about to be great on our own,
with our own everything. They don't even worry about us.
In fact, y'all should probably start catering toall y'all pink
customers such as yourselves, and don't worry about us.
Speaker 2 (55:55):
Yeah. Absolutely, well, listen, we're just about done here, UNI,
so listen. I will end the show by saying, people,
thank you again for listening to our offerings, and I
want you to know that I will drink from my
(56:16):
part of the river, and no one shall keep me
from it. And you have been listening to black thought.
Everything was changed on w O v U ninety five

I believe that when you (yes you) feel seen, heard and understood you’re able to deal with relationship struggles, work challenges and life’s ups and downs with more ease and grace. I interview experts, celebrities, thought leaders and athletes so that we can grow our mindset, build better habits and uncover a side of them we’ve never seen before. New episodes every Monday and Friday. Your support means the world to me and I don’t take it for granted — click the follow button and leave a review to help us spread the love with On Purpose. I can’t wait for you to listen to your first or 500th episode!
