Speaker 5 (01:37):
You're now tapped into another edition of the Mighty Mighty
Narrative Podcast. The Narrative Podcast is the home of original people,
original people, peace, original people, respirosity, and original people positivity.
The Narryve Podcast promotes positive reinforcement of original people and
original people culture. The Narrative Podcast provides positive friends of

(02:00):
reference about original people and original people culture. Welcome to
the Narrative Podcast. I am your host, Paul zy Allen.
Welcome all my narrators. So back at you on this
wonderful Wednesday hump day. So we're almost over the hump

(02:20):
weekend right around the corner. I think I laughed last
let you all over the weekend from my full edition
of the Narrative Podcast, and I promised, you know, later
that day or Sunday for my special episode, you know,
the Diddy episode. But it just never happened, and I

(02:42):
ain't gonna lie to you. I was just enjoying myself.
Although I don't celebrate the ideas and beliefs surrounding the
Fourth of July weekend, I was just having some much
unique times to myself looking out my window watching the fireworks,
like I didn't new cookouts. But you know, I think

(03:03):
I deserved some me time and I got me some
me time. So that's why I didn't do the special
episode on Sunday. But welcome to the NARK Podcast. Got
a good show for you today, got a good show
for you every single time I do broadcast up the
NERK podcast. So for those that do not know about

(03:28):
me and this platform, what I do on here is
all black content. I speak about all things black as
it relates and pertains to black people or what I
refer to our people on this platform, original people, original people,
and original people coaching. I go into explicit detail to

(03:49):
tell you all why I refer to our people as
original people. And then also, you know, I break down
my format style. So just to give you a miniaturized
breakdown of my podcast, to give you all an idea

(04:11):
of the type of content you'll be listening to, I'll
hit you off with a brief summary of the Narrative podcast,
and then later on I provide a more in depth
overview of the NERK podcast before diving into the content.
The Narrative podcast highlights the beauty, strength, and resilience of

(04:34):
the black community. Covering topics such as black love, empowerment, unity,
and progression. The Narrative podcast dives deep into the discussions
of black health, economic wealth, innovation, and positive reinforcement of
black voices to an end or to hear inspiring stories,

(04:55):
uplifting news, and a focus on the achievements of Black
individuals across the low. And that's pretty much, you know,
primarily what I focus on. And also, you know, I
really focus on positive reinforcement. I push that on this platform,
positive reinforcement of our people and our culture. It's all

(05:16):
about uplifting, edification of our people and our culture, you know,
just you know, bringing this up, putting us in the
best possible light, celebrating all of our accomplishments, accomplishments and achievements,
and just you know, uh, really normalizing black love and

(05:42):
on here on this platform. So you know, that's pretty
much what I do here. Some people will call that fluff.
In a world of negativity, you need a little fluff.
But yeah, So basically how I get things started is

(06:09):
I break down my format styles. Just typically I broadcast
two times a few times during the weekdays and then
once on the weekends, I call my weekend episodes my
full episodes of the Narrative Podcast. During the weekdays, I

(06:32):
just have two sections and then I think I have
a total of five sections during the weekends, and so
I'm just gonna break those down to you to just
show you, you know, how they compare and contrast with
one another, and you know what each one focuses on,
so you would be more informed as a listener and
you can decide what is more convenient for you as

(06:54):
a listener to listen to me during the weekdays or
the weekends. Hopefully listen on both, you know, the weekdays
and the weekends to get your full fix of positive
black content. But yeah, that's why I kick things off.

(07:16):
And then I'll go into my promotional portion of the
Narrative Podcast. And basically my promotional portion is just an
ad campaign. It's essentially a glorified fundraiser kickstarter campaign. What
have you just promoting things that I've done, projects that

(07:43):
keep this platform running. To generate revenue and keep this
platform running, there's a monthly maintenance fee attached to this platform.
So that's why I promote these projects. And then after
I'm done promoting these projects. Then break down the narrative podcast,
you know, in a more broad overview of the podcast.

(08:08):
Just tell you of all the nuances of the podcast
and you know, my format style and just basically breaking
down everything you need to know as a listener in
order to you know, get the maximum benefit of listening
to this content. And then of course the content itself.

(08:28):
And like I said, it's just sections, two sections, you know,
and then wrap it up and you know, let you
enjoy your day as I'm getting the mind. So first
and foremost, let's get to the format styles here. Now,

(08:55):
the purpose of the Narrative podcast, the mission statement. Mission
statement is to provide positive frames of reference about our
people and our culture. I'm having slogan for this podcast,
the Narrative Podcast, changing the narrative one episode at a
time by destroying negative stereotypes about original people and original

(09:15):
people culture. How do I destroy the negative stereotypes about
our people and our culture by providing positive frames of
reference about our people and our culture. He's the title
the narrative podcast. So, like as I said, the main
focal point of the Narrative podcast is to provide positive
frames of reference about our people and our culture. The

(09:40):
main frame of reference that I focus on during the
week days is positive news articles. And I focus on
positive news during the week days because all weekday long,
we're constantly being bombarded with negative news surrounding our people

(10:02):
in our culture. Just pretty much any negative thing you
can possibly think of is you know, highlighted and distributed
all throughout our homes. And you know, it's just like
the things we see we can't unsee. In the things
we hear, we can't unhear as it pertains to our

(10:25):
people in our culture. So basically, the people that run
the media that corrupt our images and likenesses and broadcast
it across all media platforms that warp and skew the
narrative to you know, have our to paint our people
out in the worst possible like as possible. But it's

(10:46):
just not relegated to just the news period. It also
steals into other media platforms, all forms of media, television, shows, movies,
you know, radio, music, books, magazines, you know, all depicting

(11:11):
our people's images and likenesses in a negative way. So
that's the purpose of me providing positive news articles. It's
just to demonstrate that positive things do happen within our community.
And then also to undo the psychological programming and conditioning

(11:36):
that we're forced to endure all weekday long. And make
no mistake, you know, them doing that is a form
of psychological warfare. It's psychological warfare at its finance. They're
corrupting our minds as a people, you know, the negativity

(11:57):
and the negative stereotypes and the stigmas that they propagate
about our people on our culture. It gets embedded into
our psyches and then on a subconscious level, we act
out that negativity, which is, you know, what they want
because they want to control and manipulate our minds so

(12:18):
they can mold us into what they want us to be,
which is nothing. So that's why I focus on the
positive news articles during the weekday to undo that psychological
programming and conditioning and also to demonstrate the positive things
do happen within our community. And then after I'm done

(12:39):
with the positive news articles, then I follow up with
a section I call my speaking points section. I'm a podcaster,
so of course we have to you know, keep our
content relevant and talk about, you know, whatever's going on
in the world. News articles, anything, any relevant topic is

(13:01):
currently trending that the majority of podcasts to speak about
the difference between them and me is whatever's going on
in the world. I frame it up from the frame
it up, you know, in the black perspective as it
pertains to and you know how it relates to or

(13:21):
equates to anything that we're currently going through as a people,
what that does mean for us, or what that could
potentially mean for us. That's how I unpacked you know,
news articles and whatever's going on in the world. I
also with all my content that I speak about on
this platform, I frame everything up in the bigger picture

(13:44):
perspective and the bigger picture perspective. You know, we you know,
are legal people, we des we descend from royalty, so
our natural mind state and our true nature of who
we are as a people. We're kings and queens, gods
and goddesses of the universe. So typically anytime when anything

(14:09):
negative is going on in our community, you know, especially
people from our community who are in the entertainment industry,
you know what that usually involves is you know, them
being corrupted from their true nature due to you know,

(14:33):
psychological programming and systemic oppression. And that's pretty much how
I unpack all my content on the narrative podcasts as
I you know, center everything around those two major pillars
as it pertains to and relates to our people here

(14:54):
in America and abroad. So that's pretty much my weakness
a format for the narrative podcast Also, keep in mind
this is a time since in the platform, I try
not to see one hour per broadcast. I try to
keep everything, you know, a package nicely. I want all

(15:17):
my content to flow cohesively and you know, make it
easy for the audience to listen to what I'm saying
and incorporate what I'm saying into their everyday lives and
you know, be an example of this content. So you know,

(15:38):
that's my weekday format pretty much in a nutshell. And
then now I'm gonna break down my weeknd format. So
first of all, when I started this podcast, I only
used to broadcast on the weekends, so I didn't I

(16:01):
wasn't doing broadcasting during the weekdays at all. I started
this podcast and the final month of the pandemic lockdown,
we're still quarantined. They still was doing the social distancing,
they still had the mass mandate, like all of that

(16:27):
was going on in like the first, I would say
twelve episodes of the Narrative podcast, so only on the
weekends was our broadcast. Then you know this platform, I
discovered this platform had a live isasure, and so like

(16:47):
in the episode like twelve or thirteen, I start doing
live during the week days, you know, and just start
talking about current events and as it pertains too and
relates to our people and our So this has been
a journey and I'm getting to my format style. I
just got to give you a little background of how

(17:08):
the Narrative Podcast came to be. So while I was
broadcasting on the weekends, when I first started doing it,
I had no clue. Like most people that started doing
podcasts in the wake of the pandemic lockdown, just wanted

(17:29):
something to do as miss bored out of our minds.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
You know, we.

Speaker 5 (17:33):
Couldn't go anywhere curfew, and then we had the peaceful
protest and you know the uprising, the social uprising and
all that. Every single day is something negative, you know,
we had the murder, hornets and fires and just like
every single day, it seemed like we was living in

(17:57):
the Book of Revelations, like every single day and that
time period. So when I started my podcast. I just
started just talking, you know, you know, just talking in general.
And then it was like episode like you know two
or three where I decided just to focus on our

(18:20):
people because I got tired of seeing all the negative
things in the news about our people and our culture.
And then from there I refined it even more and
developed speaking points. And then I, you know, after my
speaking points, I developed you know, my podcasts and the sections,

(18:43):
and so that was great, and then I refined the
step more and then revised and gave myself a time limit.
So I broke it down in the sections and gave
each sections time speaking points, and then I started timing
my speaking points. After I did that, I noticed I
got a following. People started following me, she started listening

(19:06):
to my content. So that's how, you know, the narrative
podcast you know, was officially born. And as I said,
you know, I don't used to broadcast on the weekends,
but I later added the weekdays. But as my weekend
episodes go, my main positive frame of reference that I

(19:30):
focus on during the week ends is positive for not
pardon me, business ownership and entrepreneurialism. That's my main positive
frame of reference that I focus on during the weekends,
and I focus on that for a plethea of reasons,

(19:52):
but the main reason is because we don't have those
positive frames of reference to draw inspiration from. So the
people that run the media, they don't want us inspired
by anything positive. They only want to push and promote

(20:15):
negative stereotypes and stigmas about our people in our culture.
They don't want us to know that we can be
business owners, they don't want us to know that we
can be entrepreneurs. They just want to push, you know,
all the negative stereotypes associated with our people that they create,
by the way, which is being prone to violence, which

(20:40):
is being you know, criminalistic by nature, just like we
can't do anything on the up and up. It has
to be underhanded or you know, some sort of crime
attached to me. Degenerate by nature, so no morals, no scruples,

(21:05):
Everything we do and say is degenerate. It's the narrative
that the media pushes about our people and our culture,
you know, lazy, unintelligent, unrefined, uncultured and sophisticated, and list
goes on. So you know, they just basically want to

(21:25):
push and promote messiness as it you know, pertains it
relates to our people and our culture across all media platforms.
So you know, I want our people to feel empowered
and impactful, you know, and feel proud about themselves. So
that's why I focus on business ownership and entrepreneurialism during

(21:50):
the weekends, you know, from my main positive frame of reference,
also to promote black economics, helping circulating, helping circulate our
dollars within our communities by making you aware of you know,

(22:17):
things to businesses to support so we can create our
own infrastructures and we won't be dependent on any you know,
forms of government or other things outside of ourselves. So
that's why the biggest reasons why I promote business ownership

(22:39):
and entrepreneurialisms. Business ownership and entrepreneuralism during the weekendspirted me.
I'm just a little tongue tied this early in the morning,
but yeah, that's why I focus on business ownership and entrepreneurialism.
I call that section my high like section, and I

(23:01):
call it that because I'm highlighting a business owner or
entrepreneur's journey into becoming a business owner entrepreneur. So the
types of information that I try to include in that
section is anything you might find beneficial. You know about
a business owner, you know why they came up with

(23:22):
the business. You know where they was born, how they
grew up. I try to also list any and all
education and life experiences to help them become a business owner,
Like what inspired them to become a business owner, you know,

(23:43):
the experiences in life, their experiences and education, you know,
training and whatever else set them on that path to
to create their own business. Some other things I try
to include is the significance of their brand. Many of
the people I highlight the highlight section that have a

(24:04):
whole business ideology. You know, their brand has an acronym
and it stands for something. And you know, that's why
when I try to uncover when I'm highlighting business owners
and the entrepreneurs and the highlight section of the Narrative
podcast weekend edition and just anything you would find informative

(24:34):
about a business owner, a foreign entrepreneur, just anything you
would need to know about, you know, how to become
a business owner. On an entrepreneur, you know Kickstarter campaigns
and how they started their business.

Speaker 6 (24:50):
You know.

Speaker 5 (24:52):
If they're a brick and mortar location, you know the
hours of operation and you know ah with their product
focuses on and key important things about about their product,
like if their product is online, how to order it?

(25:13):
You know, what's the best seller. You know, if they
got a store or you know, brick and mortar, like
what's their best most requested item, you know, whatever industry
is in. And then also to include like their work dynamic,

(25:37):
like what they focus on, what makes what sets them
apart from the competition. Things of that nature is what
I try to incorporate in the highlight section of the
Narrative Podcast Weekend edition and my selection process that I
use to select the businesses that I highlight in the

(25:58):
highlight section in the Narrative Podcast week In addition, goals
has followed. Of course they're black owned, many of them
are family owned and operated, so in that in that instance,
I would be giving you a positive frame of reference
about generational wealth. You know. Then they're also they must

(26:23):
you know, do some type of outreach program for the
black community or original people community as or referred to
our people on this platform. You know, what positive service
are they providing for our people and our culture. They
either have to have their own nonprofit organization or pay
into one, or provide some type of service that impacts

(26:47):
our community in a positive way. And then last but
not least, they must have lined up with my overall theme,
you know, and my overall theme is just you know,
nationally recognized days or months and their product or whatever

(27:07):
they're selling must coincide with the nationally recognized day of
that day or you know, nationally recognized month. So that's
the highlight section of the Narrator Podcast weekend edition. So

(27:28):
that's one difference. During the weekdays, I just need the
positive news articles and the commentary section, which I call
my speaking point section. Now, since there are more sections,
obviously I'm not going to break down all five sections.
I'm just gonna, you know, go over where the weekend

(27:49):
section differs from the weekday section. So I'm an pitch
you with about two more and then I'm going to
move on to the broad overview or the promotional portion
of the Narrative podcast, and then the broad overview of
the Narrative Podcast before diving into the continent. So another

(28:13):
section that I have that is different from my weekdays
section is a section I call my spotlight section, and
then my spotlight section. What I'm doing is I'm spotlighting
positive people within our community that have you know, impacted
our community in a positive way from the presence that

(28:38):
they project within our community. You know, whatever they're doing,
whether they're an educator, whether they're you know, a social
media influencer, just something that impacts our community in a
positive way. In that section, what I'm doing is I'm
promoting positive reinforcement. I mean, the era the podcast, that's

(29:01):
my main mission statement is to enforce positive reinforcement of
our people in our culture, but particularly on the weekends
and particularly in that section of my program, the Spotlight
section is where I super focus on positive reinforcement. And

(29:21):
so within that section, the Spotlight section, I'm just giving
you a brief mini bio of the person that I'm
honoring with the spotlight, you know, for their deeds and
achievements that impact our community in a positive way. I'm
just telling you, you know, similar to the Highlights section,

(29:42):
I'm just giving you their background. You know, where they
grew up, how they grew up. You know what they're
doing or what you know, what they're doing that impacts
our community in a positive way. You know, if they
start a nonprofit organization, if they lend their voices to

(30:02):
social causes, or if they mentored the youth. You know,
just something positive that somebody's doing within our community. That's
the nature of the spotlight section is just to give
that person, you know, their roses for doing a good job,
for doing something that I packs our community in a

(30:23):
positive way. And then also to prove that all heroes
don't wear capes or she rose because I you know,
I also spotlight females in the spotlight section. So you know,

(30:46):
that's the major one of the major differences between my
weekday format in my weekend format. And then, last but
not least, I close out on a positive notes on
my weekend edition of the Nerra podcast what section I

(31:06):
call wise Word of the Day, and the wise Word
of the Day is in GM, as you will, a
philosophical thoughts, something designed to promote critical thinking skills by
helping us ponder the simple complexities of this thing we

(31:27):
call life. And you know, that's pretty much the key
differences between my week weekend format style and my weekday
format style. And then also keep in mind there's more
sections than what I just named. I wasn't just gonna

(31:50):
run down each section. You'll just have to tune in
this weekend to hear the weekend edition of the Narrative
Podcast and its entirety. So now on to the promotional
portion of the Narrative Podcast with the very first thing
I'd like to promote is the podcast, except you can

(32:14):
support the Narrative Podcast in many many ways. It's an
all audio podcast, so it's available on all audio podcasts,
streaming sites and services. So wherever you go to listen
to your podcast, you guaranteed to find the Narrative Podcast

(32:34):
on it. So to support it from you know, any
audio podcast, an extremely site or platform, simply go there
and listen to it and download it. And then after
you download it, share or upload it to whatever social
media platform that you enjoy sharing or uploading content too.

(32:57):
And then the downloading process of it, you should be
able to see a little button, you know that's in
the shape of a cloud, a little cloud shaped icons.
So what you want to do is push on that
to fully download the episode and then like I said,
also to share upload the episode to whatever social media

(33:20):
platform that you like, sharing the uploading content too. And
then also keep in mind when you're listening to or
sharing or engaging the Narra the podcast, make sure it's
the one hosted by me Halsey Allen. Because there are
thousands and I mean thousands of podcast out there titled

(33:41):
the Narrative Podcast. I think it's you know, it's impossible
to copyright that title because that phrase is so common,
so there's you know, there's no way to copyrighting. So
as a result of that, there are thousands of podcasts
the Narrative Podcast. So just make sure if you love

(34:05):
black people and black content, that you're listening to and
supporting this platform hosted by me Hawsey Allen. If you
want to listen to and engage all black content, the
next way you can support the Narrative Podcast is too

(34:27):
or the most efficient way to support the Narrator Podcast
is followed me on X formally Twitter. And the reason
why you want to do that is because X is
sent to this podcast, which means every single time I'm
done recording an episode, it automatically gets uploaded to X

(34:50):
without any effort on my part. It just automatically goes
up there. If you see the Narrative Podcast while you're
scrolling on any other platform other than X, there's a good, uh,
you know, a very high percentage rate that I had
to manually paste the link there, So, like on your

(35:13):
facebooks and your your threads and your instagrams, I had
to manually put the link here. So if it appears
any other where than the audio streaming platforms, it automatically
goes to all audio podcasts streaming platforms. But like your
social media is and your like your facebooks and your tiktoks,

(35:37):
or you know, wherever you go. You know, when you're
looking at your social media content that you like, scroll
through and you see stuff. If you see the Narrative
Podcast while you're scrolling any of my episodes, why while
you're scrolling on any of those platforms I name or
any other platform that you you know would scroll through

(36:01):
and see some content, I probably had to manually put
it there. But if you follow me on X, it
automatically goes up there. So if you follow me on X,
you will be ALERTIC so check your alerts and you
will be up to date with the newest installment of
the Narrative Podcast without fail. If you follow me on X,

(36:24):
so you'll be the first to get it a brand
new episode. If you follow me on X and my
ex profile names I Stay Good at Hartsey album, then
also the name of the game, you know online, when
you're generating revenue for platforms such as this is all
about the monetization, So it's all about the engagement. So

(36:48):
just like I told you on the audio streaming platforms
to listen to and download episodes of the Narrator podcast
on all audio podcasts streaming networks, same thing goes for X.
All these features create page clicks and then turn those

(37:09):
page clicks generate revenue streams. So the more things you
do to engage my platforms, such as like sharing it, downloading,
downloading it, and commenting on episodes, they all help generate
page clicks. So the more you engage me, the more

(37:32):
clicks I generate. The more clicks I generate, the more
revenue I generate. The more revenue I generate, the better
quality of the narrative podcast will happen. So like the
more revenue I generate, the better equipment I can buy.
And then ultimately my ultimate goal is to transition from

(37:52):
audio to video, so I'll be having video installments of
the Narrative podcast on you know, like YouTube and TikTok
and all that, and also having all the bells and
whistles of all traditional podcasts like interviewing people and stuff.

(38:16):
So yeah, that's my ultimate goal with this platform. I'm
doing quite nice, you know in this format, but there's
always room for improvement, and that's the nature of the
promotional portion of the Narrative podcast is to help improve

(38:36):
and grow the platform. So having said all that, you know,
the most efficient way is to engage me on X
formly Twitter. My profile name is I stay Good at
Hawsey Allen. And your confirmation that you're on the correct
X page you should see a little black book pin

(38:57):
to the top of my page and the title of
that book is titled the Black Card and it's written
by me, Halsey Allen. So go to the top of
the page or the my X page and that's your

(39:18):
confirmation that you're on the correct X page. So once
you confirm that you're on the correct X page, look
for the latest link of the Narrative podcast and click
on it. And as I said, it's all about engagement.
When click on that link, the podcast, uh, you know,

(39:40):
it should expand revealing the podcast logo. After you see
my podcast logo, you should see a light button and
the light button it's in the shape of a hearts.
So click on the heart shaped light button, but only
after you have clicked to play. So play the episode first, don't.

(40:00):
You don't have to let it play all the way through.
Just play the episode, you know, probably like this is
a Also, I always forget to tell you it's a
monetized platform. So I have what's called ad roles. They
also generate you know, revenue for the platform. That's how

(40:20):
I get paid is the ads to monetize my platform.
So there's ads all through my podcast episode. I have
no control or say so about what gets advertised or
when the advertisement will begin. Sometimes they begin during mid speech,

(40:44):
so other than that, I don't know. But anyway, so
after you click the podcast logo, you listen to it,
then click the heart shape like button located at the
top of the podcast logo. When you do this, this
will call a podcast to expand, podcast logo to expand
a second time. We're building a new set of options

(41:07):
to go through. And as I said, you know, each
individual function helps generate revenue for the podcast because they
generate page clicks. The page clicks generates the revenue. So
you need to do all these to help generate revenue
for the narrative podcast. So after the podcast logo has

(41:28):
expanded the second time, what I then need to do
after that is click the light button. This time, the
light button will be located underneath the podcast logo rather
than on top. So click that heartshet like but again.
Then comment in the comment section and it's just a box.
It's next to the heart, so lead type me a comment.

(41:52):
Just type something. If you can't think of a comment
to leave me, type your name. You can type a
a character on the keyboard, you can type a letter
in the alphabet, but just type something in the comic box.
You can you know, if you're you're not an American citizen,

(42:17):
you can put your flag in the comment box and
the comment section of the Narrative Podcast. But just comment something,
put something in the comic box. And then after you've
left me a comment in the comment box, share upload
that episode of the Narrative Podcast to whatever platform that

(42:38):
you enjoy sharing your uploading content too. And that's how
you support the Narrative Podcast. From following me from ex
formally Twitter. Next up next week you can support the
Narrative podcast.

Speaker 7 (42:55):
Is to.

Speaker 5 (42:58):
Follow me on YouTube. I have older episodes of the
Narrative Podcast that's on currently on YouTube, and the reason
why there are older episodes of the Narrak podcast is
YouTube changed their community guidelines and updated their software. So

(43:19):
when they updated their software can change their community guidelines
and policies. That made this platform that I'm broadcasting on
non compatible with YouTube's new software and community guidelines and policies.
So rather than updating their software, they just elected to

(43:46):
just drop YouTube as a you know, a host distributor
to this platform. So yeah, that's why I can't upload
episodes of the Narrative podcast to YouTube anymore. But you know,
there are still older episodes of the Narrative podcast. YouTube

(44:06):
has not deleted all my older episodes of the Narrative
podcast that's on YouTube. To access them, go to my
YouTube page, which is just my viewer page and it's
Halsey Allen and you should be able to access my
older episodes on YouTube by going to my videos, and
my videos are shared publicly, so you can access them

(44:30):
without subscribing to my channel. And when you get there,
listen to them, play the videos, like, comment and share,
and so the like button on YouTube is a thumbs
up button. And again, leave me a comment, a comic
box comment, you know, whatever, you want to comment about

(44:52):
the video, but just type something in the comic box.
And even though these episodes are all old, you know,
the uh, the uh, the page clicks that they generate
still countsing the you know, the monetization process, it still
spills over into you know, page clicks and all that.
So still engage all my content that's on YouTube. Comment

(45:19):
in the comic box. Again, if you can't think the
comments type of letter of the alphabet, type of character
on your keyboard, the computer keyboard, put up a flag
in the comic box. Wherever you're from. Put your flag,
your national flag in the comic box, your state flag

(45:41):
in the comic box. Put something in the comic box.
And then share or upload that episode of the Narrative
podcast or whatever social media platform that you like sharing
or uploading content too. And that's how you support the
near the podcast. When following me from YouTube, and again,

(46:03):
my YouTube profile name is Hawsey Allen. And then I
think I forgot to tell you my profile name on X.
My profile profile name on X is I stay good
at Halsey album. I told you how to confirm that
you're on the correct X page, but I forgot to
tell you my ex profile name is I stay good

(46:25):
at Halsey Allen and your confirmation that you're on the
correct X page and seeing my book pin to the
top of my page and the name the title of
my book is called The Black Card, and I'll be

(46:52):
my next project I'll be promoting is my book of
poetry in it's titled The Black Card, and it's written

is a thirty page book of poetry. So The Black

(47:15):
Card is a thirty page book of poetry chronicling the
whole Black experience. Like everything we endure as a people,
both positive and negative experiences, are all chronicled and highlighted

(47:36):
in that book of poetry, and it's thirty pages long.
Each poem is a reflective window into our rich culture,

But people outside of our culture, you don't have to

more unique selling points of my blog site is all

on a life up their own. I guarantee you that
was further stang away from my mind when I wrote those,

specific in detailed and intentional you know esque I say

intentional s because like I said, they're spontaneously written. But

For the promotional portion of the narrative podcast. Now we're
gonna dive into the broad overview of the Narrative Podcast

(01:01:01):
before diving into this weekday edition of The Narrative Podcast.
So let's start with a term you should be familiar with,
or a term you should be familiar with when you know,
consume me my content is the term narrator. And I

(01:01:24):
call that and I coined that phrase to capture the
essence of the people to listen to this platform and
kind of personify what it is I do here on

(01:01:44):
this platform. So you know, that's a catch phrase I
coined for my listening audience. I was inspired with the
textbook definition of the word narrator. The textbook of definition
of a word narrator is just basically one who tells
or illustrates the story for the you know, purpose of

(01:02:10):
breaking the story down for the audience, just providing the
audience with full context of the story, you know, key element,
specific details that make the story more digestive, digestible for
the audience consuming the story, whatever format the story is in,
since it's a book or you know, a play or

(01:02:32):
a movie, that's the job of a narrator just to
break down, you know, all the important parts of the story,
so the audience and keep up with it. And how
I correlate that to my content is basically with a
little analogy that I use. If you don't tell your

(01:02:53):
own story, your own story will be told for you.
And that's precisely with the media is doing to our people.
They're telling our story for us. They're putting out a
false narrative about our people and our culture. They're telling

(01:03:16):
our story the way they perceive us as a people.
So while we cannot control what they put out about
our people, ourselves and our people are uh, you know,
our people and our culture partner. We can control as
a people what we put out about ourselves on our

(01:03:38):
own platforms, So we can change the narrative by narrating
our own stories. So that's my you know, my state
of mind by coining the term narrator or you know,

(01:04:01):
my listening audience, and you know now I'm gonna give
you some examples on how to be a narrator. Since
that point the term, I'm obviously a narrator. Every time
you listen to the Narrative podcast, you're hearing positive frames
up reference about our people and our culture in audio format.

(01:04:22):
So I'm telling or narrating our stories using this audio
podcast as a vehicle to do so. So I'm changing
the narrative on my end, one episode at a time

(01:04:44):
with my content. So to be a narrator, you can
change the narrative on your end, one social media post
at a time by sharing positive visual content about our

(01:05:05):
people and our culture on your media platforms. And I'm
gonna give you some examples of the type of visual
content you can share on your visual platforms. So you know,
the nature of the narrative podcast is to change negative

(01:05:29):
stereotypes about our people and our culture. So you can
correct these negative stereotypes and stements about our people and
our culture about you know, posting positive visual frames of
references on your visual media about our people and our culture.

(01:05:53):
So like saying negative stereotype about our people is like
we're all it is late. They call it uh CPT
uh CPT time or color people time. You can you know,
change that false narrative, you know, by hosting visual imagery

(01:06:18):
of you know, somebody sticking to a strict schedule, adhering
to the guidelines of you know, strict time scheduling, whether
it's something like tracking the time for any events or

(01:06:43):
you know, got a clipboard out taking down minutes at
a public town hall meeting, or just something reflective of
we are studious with our time. We don't waste our time,
we don't take milk eons to do stuff. You know,

(01:07:04):
that's the false narrative that keeps on getting circulated about
our people. And we kind of helped the we kind
of we kind of play into the negative stereo type
as we say all the time too, you know, joke
about it, kid about it when we have cookouts and

(01:07:25):
be like, you know, so when a black person tells
you to be there at six, you're not gonna eat
to like ten or eleven, you know, things like that.
But another negative stereotype is you know, we're unintelligent, or

(01:07:46):
you know we have low IQs, or we're just learning
in pair, or just plain old stupid. You can change
that false narrative on your visual meat get platforms by
posting you know us excelling academically, whether it's you yourself

(01:08:06):
getting good grades, or somebody within your your community or
in your family getting good academic marks, or excelling academically
breaking some type of scholastic record, or inventing something that
will you know, mold and shape. You know, not just

(01:08:31):
our community, but the entire world can benefit from your
invention or a invention somebody from our community inventing, so
changing the narrative that way. So basically, to be a narrative,
you just need to post positive visual content us engaging

(01:08:54):
in positive activities that impact our neighborhoods in the world
in a positive way. That's it. And if you can't
think of anything, I just named one of the most
impactful positive things you can possibly post on your visual
media platforms is just you being happy and navigating through life,

(01:09:20):
you know, prosperous, just being pleased with yourself in a
good space, you know, loving life, loving yourself and being happy.
That's one of the biggest ways to strike a blow
for the movement because the way they designed this system,

(01:09:45):
the way they structured it, is to destroy us. They
want to destroy any glimmer or beacon of hope. They
want us just to all be projecting gloom and doom
and being angry or being depressed or sad. You know,

(01:10:06):
but you being happy on your platform and just being
in a good space that you know, throws off their plan.
That throws a big, huge monkey rich in their plans.
That you know, throws everything out of whack. So if

(01:10:28):
nothing else, just posts positive visual imagery of you being
happy and doing things that make you happy that are
not destructive for our people. So don't be happy gang banging,
don't be happy twerking and doing and selling or using narcotics.

(01:10:51):
Don't post those. You don't what I'm saying. Just general wholesome, happy,
positive activities, you know, like hobbies, painting, you know, fishing,
you know, positive stuff that makes you happy. All right,

(01:11:17):
So now on to the next thing you need to
be aware of when listening to the Narrak podcast is
I refer to our people as original people as opposed
to black. I refer to our people as original people
as opposed to black for a lot of reasons. You know,

(01:11:41):
there's nothing wrong with the word black per se, but
you know, I can find a whole lot of negative
things to say about it. I can find a whole
lot of positive things to say about the word black.
But you know, I just think, you know, the word
of rich was more accurate depiction of who we are

(01:12:04):
as a people as opposed to the word black. You know,
because the word original in essence, the textbook definition of
the word kind of hints at it, you know, it's unique,
one of a kind. And then also historically the first,

(01:12:25):
so by the textbook definition of the word original, that
is a perfect match for our people. And then the
word original is just more empowering too. How that sense
of you know, that climax that you reach when you
say your original, you know you're not trying to be

(01:12:50):
like anybody else, your margency to be of your own drum,
your original, your first. You know, everything else is heal
in comparison to the original. So we're original on saw

(01:13:13):
many different levels. So we're original in that sense that
we are the influencers, not the ones who get influenced.
We start trends, not following. The trends that we start
are the is it usually trends started by somebody within
our community. So those are pretty much the only ones

(01:13:36):
we follow, is the ones we start in the first place.
And then the whole world follows the trends that we
set because they're so you know, impacted by our existence.
They want to be like us so much, they admire

(01:13:58):
us so much, they listen to our music to try
to wear our clothes in the manner of which we
wear our clothes, and try to speak like us, use
our slang and all of that. So you know, we're
original in that sense. Original also hints at, you know,

(01:14:18):
being first, you know, and we're definitely original in that stuckus.
It's historically accurate. We are, were, and are the original
beings in the entire world. We were here thousands of
years before every single person, every single group of people
you can possibly name or think of, we were here before. Then.

(01:14:42):
As a matter of fact, you know, pretty much every
other group in the entire world. We sends directly from
our people, like we mothered and father. Civilization would be
no civilization if there was never any us, So we're
original in that stance. Historically, we also originated everything. We

(01:15:06):
where the original and original inventors, original scholars, original scientists, chemists,
you name it. All conventional forms of learning or inventing
or creating, it all started with us. We was the

(01:15:28):
original architects, you know, astronomers, astrologists, philosophers, medical doctors, healers.
It was the original everything. So it was here first,

(01:15:48):
and we originated everything first, So we're original in all that.
So now I'm briefly where while we're on the topic
of history, every single episode. You know, I take a

(01:16:09):
little brief time out to this spell. The false narrative
surrounding slavery. It's an impact on us, and you know
why they try to just basically make slavery the most poignant,

(01:16:31):
definitive time of our existence. So they do that primarily
to emotionally and intellectually subject gave us. They want to

(01:16:53):
keep us in the enslaved mind state by keep on
broadcasting slave and remnants of slavery and appointing in assigning
slavery is our most definitive time period as a people,
as if to say, you know, all your ancestors were slaves,

(01:17:15):
and you know that was your biggest accomplishment and achievement
is surviving slavery. Not only that, the slave trade is
the only reason why you exist anywhere outside of the
continent of Africa, which is the biggest misnomer ever about slavery,

(01:17:40):
because like I said, you know, us being original people,
we were here thousands of years before any of the civilization.
So they want us to believe that we were just
sitting on the continent of Africa waiting for Europeans and
white Spaniards to come to that port, you know, come

(01:18:04):
to the continent of Africa, when white people didn't even
exist before the slave trade. They didn't even exist before
the slave trade. There we was a sitting there waiting
for them to come transport us to different continents, when

(01:18:33):
in reality, there was a mass migration from Africa thousands
of years before white people even came into existence, and
we went to different continents and populated those continents, and
there was always been a large concentration of our people

(01:18:55):
living everywhere, especially the Americas, especially the United States of America,
was all all. You know, we was already located in
Meso America, Central America, North America, all the Americas, every

(01:19:19):
single continent you can possibly name or think of, there
was already a large concentration of our people residing there
before slavery, before chattel slavery, before the Transatlantic slave trade,
before the diaspora wars. We was already located everywhere you

(01:19:41):
can possibly think. But they teach us throughout history the
only way we got anywhere is because you know, it
was picked up on slave boats and dropped off in
different places of the world. Was dropped off in Europe
and the continent of Asia, and you know, all throughout

(01:20:06):
Spain and any Spanish speaking nation who was dropped off
was dropped off in the islands, and you know, the Caribbeans,
the Virgin Islands, the you know, Hawaii, Polynesia, Micronesia. They
willed us to believe, you know, just only the slave trade.

(01:20:27):
How a whole the Aboriginal people was living in Australia.
They only got there because of slavery. Point being, without
getting too long winded, the original man was already existing

(01:20:49):
in every single place you can possibly name. Not only
were we existing, there was also teaching the other people
that lived there how to buy that climate and how
to be civilized, how to groom themselves and clean themselves
and build things and heal themselves when they get sick,

(01:21:14):
you know, talk then religion and spirituality and enlightenment in
ways to elevate their minds. That's what our people be,
That's who we were. We were kings and queens, goddesses
of the universe, not just mere enslaved people. As they
try to keep on trying to force that false narrative down,

(01:21:40):
you know, our throats keep on trying to personify us
being you know, beaten in torture within the inch of
our lives, and we were being fearful of the slave master,
and you know, we cow in fear. And they also

(01:22:02):
teach that we colluded with the slave owners and betrayed
our own people to the slave owners, and just all
other things, like there's so many like misnomers and false
narratives about slavery. Y'all be eight years, But I just
wanted to break down like the most important parts of it,

(01:22:24):
you know, which is like that wasn't the most definitive
time of our existence. We were whole rulers, were kings
and queens, gods and goddesses before slavery. We talked, you know,
mother and father, civilization before slavery. They skip over all
that also during slavery resisted it. You know, they want

(01:22:50):
to teach us that only Haiti had an uprising, when
in fact, everywhere our people was ever enslaved, there wasn't uprising,
you know. And they didn't release us from the kindness
of the hearts and believed slavery was wrong. They released

(01:23:11):
us because we was putting a whooping on it. You know,
we got it bad, but we dealt it. We gave
it just as good as we got it. They leave
that part out of the history books when we was
dishing it out just as good as we was receiving it.

(01:23:37):
So that's just a few, you know, false narratives of
slavery that I want to you know, dispell, you know,
because they either exaggerated about it or they one hundred
and ten percent lie about it. And most of the
things they teach us about slavery is a lie. The

(01:23:57):
other half is exaggerations from the you know, the path
that they took and the time that it went on.
The only accurate thing that they get right about slavery
is the actual the cruelty and the savagery and the

(01:24:21):
sheer brutality and the barbarous savagery we suffered as a
people while we were in slave That's the only thing
they get right about slavery. Everything else is either an
exaggeration or a complete and utter lie. So yeah, now

(01:24:50):
moving further along, Last, but not least, I refer to
our people as original people on this platform as an
effort to unify us as if people get us on
one accord, because we refer to ourselves as a lot
of things, by our lineage, by our nationalities. You know,

(01:25:15):
there's a whole lot of gray areas. There's so many
different levels too, just the word black, and it all
culturally varies, all regionally, varies, all religiously varies, even politically
varies of what type of black person you are. But

(01:25:38):
people outside of our culture they just say you're black.

Speaker 3 (01:25:42):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:25:44):
But I think a word we can all interchangeably use
and apply to each and every last one of us
in the same exact way without taking away from our
nationality or our lineage is the word original as it

(01:26:04):
applies to all of us. We can all say we
were here before every other civilization. We can all say
we all possessed high concentray, high concentrations of carbon aka melanin.
We can all say as a people that we all
have suffered the same socio economic plight. You know. We

(01:26:30):
can all say we suffer being singled out. We can
all say we can suffer systemic oppression. We can all
say that as a people, we all have that, you know,
that unspoken universal bond about that, you know. But what
I can't say lineage wise. You know, somebody from God

(01:26:53):
that can't say their Haitian and vice versa, somebody from
Canada that can't say they're black America you know, and
vice versa. But we all can say, we all can
get on one accord and say universally as a people

(01:27:15):
that we are all original. We all possess the dominant gene.
We all, you know, can trace our lineage back to
the original point of origin. We all possess high concentrations
of melanin of carbon aka melanin. We all have suffered

(01:27:35):
the same plight universally across the board. So we need
one universal term to describe all of us, and that's
the word originally. And that's why I refer to our
people as original people as often as a possibly can
on here. All the times I say black is just
for you know, for time sake, because it's shorter black

(01:28:02):
rather than original. That's for timesake. And if I'm reading
an article and the article says or black any I'm
not going to say original. But overall, I try to
refer to our people as original people as often as possible,
and original people just describes all of us, you know, accurately,

(01:28:25):
we can all say we're original. And so that's the
last reason why I refer to our people as original
people to unify us as a people. And so that's
why I refer to our people as original people here
on the narrat podcast. Moving right along near the podcast

(01:28:45):
designed to uplift and edifire people with this content. It's
a harm of positive reinforcement. That's why I primarily push
the mission statement of the Narrative Podcast is to inform
the audience as to why it's important to be selective

(01:29:06):
and be careful of the type of images and content
that you're sharing that represent or could potentially represent black
people and black culture. So you know, that's the mission statement.

(01:29:28):
And also to encourage people to upload positive images of
our people engaging in positive activities. And also just to
push and promote positivity, to uplift and edify, to build up,
not destroyed. Just the mission statement of the Narrative Podcast.

(01:29:52):
This is essentially a positive safe space for original people.
I don't engage any negativity, gossip, I don't promote gossip.
I try to discourage against gossip, slander, you know, negative isms,
and you know, just things that make us look and
sound bad as if people. I try to steer clear

(01:30:14):
and the boyd and encourage other people melanated people to
you know, steer clear and avoid those things as well.
So this the narrative podcast is like you know, I promote, endorse,

(01:30:35):
and share positivity, not courage for all who listen to
this podcast to do the exact same. Promote and share
positive media and positive positive Black media and positive black content. Endorse,
promote with share positive black content creators, amplify positive voices,

(01:30:58):
positive Black voices, and just be you know, the home
of all things positive about our people and our culture. Now,
there is an exception to every rule. People that are
the exception to the rule about the no gossip, no slandering,
no name calling or put down rule. It's people within

(01:31:23):
our culture that intentionally betrays our people by promoting negative stereotypes,
of stigmas about our people and our culture for monetary gain,
intentionally promoting negative stereotypes about our people and our culture
to make themselves rich. So when you do that, you know,

(01:31:49):
you're not an ally, but you're an enemy of our people.
You don't deserve to be held in the high regard.
And you know when I'm covering stories about you, you're
not going to, you know, hold you in a high
regard like I do anybody else. Only if you're intentionally

(01:32:09):
misrepresenting our people. Now, if you're unintentionally misrepresenting our people.
That's in a different story. Ignorance can be corrected, but
if you're intentionally out here misrepresenting our people for money,
then I can't rock with you. Other than that, it's

(01:32:31):
a positive safe space for original people. Last, but not least,
it's the time sets of the platform. I try not
to see one hour per broadcast, and that's basically to
make everything convenient, easy to listen to, easy to follow,
easy to digest. Nobody wants to sit up here and
listen to somebody talk hours and hours about nothing. So

(01:32:55):
that's why I designed my platform the way I designed
it up in these sections gay B section speaking points
in time, each one of my speaking points, so I
can transition into a new topic with ease and speak

(01:33:16):
about a plethora of things in a short amount of time.
So that's why I designed my format like that. So
I'm not all over the place with it. You know,
I have a sense of centralized train of thought. You know,
I'm transitioning into each subject with ease, and I'm just

(01:33:36):
not all willing nelly all over the place with it.
Real easy to follow and really easy to keep up with.
As a matter of fact, the breakdown of the Narrative
podcast is the shortest part or the part me the
longest part of the program. The content itself is very short,
breathing to the point, and you know that's why I

(01:33:56):
try to make my content very short, reefing to the
point and appliable and relatable. So having said that, we're
gonna dive on into this episode of the Near The
podcast with the edition. Just make sure to download this
episode and all previously before the episodes of the Near
the podcast where this podcast so it's is from with

(01:34:19):
over five hundred episodes end. If you're still kind of unsure,
you can go through my episode longs to bring yourself
up to speed. But I think I've pretty much covered
everything you need to know to effectively listen to the content.
So even further ado, we're going to dive into this
content of the this episode of the Narrative Podcast. My

(01:34:42):
very first section of the narra the podcast called my
Positive News Articles and the first positive news article of
the day. The headline reads, HBCU Brad turned over award

(01:35:04):
winning Black educator recognized more than thirty years of serving
his community. Wow, that's a mouthbol and just that title.
This is a celebration honoring the life and times of
a brother by the name of Michael T. Williams. Michael T.
Williams is an educator, a mentor or, a public speaker,

(01:35:27):
motivational speaker, author, CEO of doc one Educational Consulting Services,
who was born and raised in Huntsville, Georgia. Graduated Virginia
State University, attended the years of ninety four through ninety nine,

(01:35:50):
majoring in psychology partnery sociology. Earned a Doctor of Education
from Cambridge located in Boston, Massachusetts, in counciling. He has
more extensive accolades and that, but I just went to

(01:36:13):
cover the highlights of why he's being honored. He served
on many boards. He is a juvenile justice advocate and
he has created programs to help juveniles who have uh,

(01:36:34):
you know, done some time in jail for re entry
and he also advocates for juvenile justice and reform. He

(01:36:55):
wrote a dissertation titled which earned the just degree, The
Impact of Response to Enter Our Intervention Party. I can read,

(01:37:16):
It's just not my own handwriting. Sometimes I just kind of,
you know, cluttered my notes. But he wrote his dissertation
The Impact of Response to the intervention services.

Speaker 7 (01:37:32):
On special ED.

Speaker 5 (01:37:43):
All right, so taking this from the top again, as
I kept on, I had to go back to the
source because my notes is just so discompopulated. So he
wrote his dissertation entitled the Impact Act Response to Intervation
Intervention Services on Special ED referrals and I count to

(01:38:11):
affirming students who look, love, learn, and live differently. He's
also created programs or Juvenile Justice Offenders two help people

(01:38:37):
get certified virtually AH with National Career Readiness programs, doing
virtual videos to that, as well as UH Ocean Certifications,
virtual certifications, and the host of other things. Like I said,

(01:39:01):
he has thousands of accolades. He primarily focuses on juvenile justice,
but he is an educator, you know, helps with prison
reform for juveniles on the Council of Urban Boards of Education,

(01:39:25):
helps with delinquent minors, in the host of other things.
Like I said, he just got really too many accolades
to name, because if I just went through and named

(01:39:45):
all his accolades, I would be like ten to fifteen
more minutes talking. But to find out more about his program,
go to doc w MS one dot com and when
you get there, basically it's education consulting firm that provides exciting,

(01:40:11):
innovative and inspirational professional developments services for schools who desire
to boaster the academic achievement level of its students. So
there's all kinds of academic resources for educators to reach
their students. Now, I say, time and time again, the

(01:40:35):
only true way for our students to get ahead is
to provide our own institutions for them to succeed. So
don't get me wrong. You can go to an integrated
school and rise to greatness, but it's just struggle because

(01:41:01):
they don't want to teach you. Half of them don't
want to teach your students, don't want to teach our children.
The other half don't know how to teach our children,
and then the other half just don't care any different
either way, they're therefore a paycheck. They've lost all their
passion for educating period. So the way we can ensure

(01:41:24):
our children, you know two get the most out of
their educational lives is to have our own institutions. But
until we get our own institutions, you know, all throughout

(01:41:45):
the board, nationwide and worldwide, we should support educators such
as doctor Michael T. Williams you know, we go above
and beyond the needs for our children to acknowledge educators
like him, And so that's what we're doing today, acknowledging

(01:42:08):
him for his services and his unwavering supports and passion
that he has for our youth. So please join me
at this time into honor and our brother, doctor Michael T.
Williams with a warm Narrative Podcast round of applause. All right,

(01:42:38):
moving right along to the second positive news article on
this weekday edition of the Narrative Podcast. The headline reeves
andcarcerated Black Dad allow allows to host father daughter prom
in prison. So basically this celebration took place at San

(01:43:08):
Quentin Correctional Facility in California. They held their first ever
father Daughter prom which is an initiative, which is an
initiative that allows inmates to interact with their daughters, especially

(01:43:32):
you know in black households, like the man is supposed
to be the anchor of the family. That's where your
son gets his manhood from, is his father. But also
for young ladies, the type of individual, the type of

(01:43:59):
men she will encounter in their lives, she tries to
look for qualities, you know in the man that her
father possesses, and she can't form a healthy relationship if
one she don't know who her father is, you know,

(01:44:21):
or two if he's not present in the household. So
in most you know cases, the father's not in the
household because he's incarcerating. So he can't really be a
strong figure for his family because you know, he's incarcerated.

(01:44:44):
He can't you know, delegate or anything or you know,
impact his children's lives in a positive way anymore because
he's behind walls, which is basically how our system is
structured to do. They want to set us up to
be incarcerated or to be un alive, create circum systemic

(01:45:07):
circumstances that that's all the choices that will have is
to end up behind the walls or in our occupy
tombstone because they are afraid of our brother, the God,
his thing together. That's the biggest fears of educated black
man who has strong family morals and rears his family

(01:45:35):
and is the backbone of not only his family but
his community. You know, make sure the next door neighbors
is straight. You know, everybody on the block is straight.
That's a strong black man. Strong black man in the
presence of the community. So this is why our government
is so prone to you know, get rid of us

(01:45:59):
any way. We inspire strength. And when you instilled strengthen
the people, especially here in the United States of America,
that's infrastructure that they've scopted will start to collapse, crumble
in the road from the inside. So they don't want

(01:46:22):
any of us being free thinkers. They don't want us
to be independent. They definitely don't want us to be
strong and assertive and knowledgeable of our rights because they
want to dominate and manipulate and control all of us.
So definitely as it you know, prison and concern with

(01:46:43):
our people. That's why it was designed in the first place,
to you know, contain our people. After slavery, they made
it illegal for you to be poor. They have us
enslaved all this year, these years and then and we
can barely scarcely afford to you know, sustain ourselves as

(01:47:07):
the only skill that we acquire, most of us, you know,
down south, is sharecropping, and so there's little to no
money in that. In what they do. They designed to
come up with them Jim Crow laws, and then designed
the penitentiary system to house poor black people, essentially making

(01:47:33):
slavery still relevant and it still exists today. It hasn't changed.
You know, many of the laws are aimed towards us,
and a whole lot of our brothers and sisters that's
incarcerated are wrongly incarcerated.

Speaker 6 (01:47:54):
You know.

Speaker 5 (01:47:55):
In there on Trump left charges away from their families,
you know, as the system was designed to do. But anyway,
I got a little long winded getting myself back on
track about this particular story. So it's this initiative is
a two month program where eighteen inmates were selected and

(01:48:19):
the majority of them were black to participate in their
daughters' lives by you know, formerly being at a prom.
So basically it's like a father daughter dance and they
got to play games, dance with their daughters. Of course,

(01:48:40):
I got to wear four more tired they got to
wear to sedos food of course, you know, refreshments were
for body, and after the event was over, they got
spec your certificates, which is a super positive moment. This

(01:49:04):
happened in the month of April of this year, and
that's the reason why I cover this story. Is something
super positive because even behind walls, you can still be
a positive force in your child's life. You can still
you know, inspire them to be great behind walls if

(01:49:28):
you utilize your time correctly and be the example that
you want your child to follow, because you can still
achieve things wild incarcerated. They have vocational skills. Most states
state penitentiaries have vocations that you can train for wild incarcerated.

(01:49:48):
So you know why it sucks you you're in there.
You can still be affluent in your child's life by
you know, acquiring as much addenttionals is you can possibly
acquire while you know incarcerated, and you know you can
get you you know, cosmetology, you can like you can

(01:50:11):
cut here, be a jail house barber. You can learn
the skill trade. You can learn like carpentry, metal working
with working bindary. Some states have auto cad. You can
design stuff, you know, do everything that they can give you.

(01:50:32):
You know, put every tool in the toolbox while you're incarcerated,
and that'll looks so well because your family will be
looking at all that and be inspired by every positive
thing you're doing while you're incarcerated. So that's why this
story was so powerful because it's all about esthetics. It's

(01:50:56):
all about aesthetics. You you know, just like animal you
be treated like an animal. Our prison systems is by
far the most one of the humane penal systems in
the entire world. So while it's not supposed to be
glamorous and luxurious, like you did something broke the law,

(01:51:19):
got caught breaking the law. You're not supposed to like
be in club med. You know, you're not supposed to
be in the rich Carlton. But then you're not supposed
to just live like a damn animal. You know, you're
supposed to be able to consume things that's technically food

(01:51:43):
but definitely visually aesthetically pleasing to your family to come
to visit. You supposed to be groomed and smelling good
and looking good and feeling good. So that's cool that
they got weights and all that, But this particular thing
would definitely help incarcerated fathers connect with their daughters and

(01:52:05):
be that positive male figure who their daughters can, you know,
navigate through life and select the men that she deals
with based on you know, your father, so you ain't
just your father the low life, the jailbird. You know,

(01:52:29):
you're groomed and have an air of dignity about yourself,
you know, in the suit looking dignified while still in
your surroundings, and you know, that's cool, and I hope
they keep that program going, and I hope they add
variants of the program, which will you know, like, you know,

(01:52:52):
get the inmates board ready, maybe a board ready program
where they're wearing the three piece suits and they're you know,
learning about financial literacy and how to build companies and stuff.

(01:53:15):
But yeah, the article didn't list any names of people
who put the event together or the participants, any specific
names of the inmates that got to participate in this
particular event, but it was definitely newest worthy and worth

(01:53:35):
sharing on this platform. So please at this time join
me into giving the inmates and their daughters you know,
who participate in this particular event or warm lyritive podcast
round of applause. All right, last positive news article for

(01:54:07):
this week, that edition of the Narrative podcast the headline
needs Black Therapist uses play to teach emotional intelligence to
children of color. Now, while this is a positive news article,
I hate the term. There's some terms that is very

(01:54:28):
latent all throughout this article that I don't like. One
of them is children of color. Now I prefer you
just say black, the of color I prefer you just
say black. They also say bike pack, which I'm opposed
to black envisionous people of color, Like black is better

(01:54:53):
than bipop because like, damn, why can't we never have nothing?
Why can't Black Americans ever have anything? Like we gotta
share everything. But you know, most people to start non
profit organizations, in order to get the funding, they have

(01:55:16):
to say, you know who will benefit from the program,
And you know, they say bipod, which is a buzz
turns black, indigenous people of color, So Native Americans, Eastern Indians,

(01:55:39):
Mexicans and so forth, and so on and on. But
like damn, we can't have nothing, Like all other groups
of people got their own thing, but Black Americans we
can't have nothing, just exclusively to help us. But anyway,

(01:56:05):
with this particular article, his brother's name. The organized this
particular event is a brother by the name of Lamar E. Lewis.
He's an advocate, author and an agent of change. He
is hosting a book fair on July twenty sixth of
this year in Dayton, Ohio. The event will focus on

(01:56:32):
author signing, reading activities, and a discussion for inspiring children's
book authors and a whole lot more. The book. The
book Fair is powered by the belief that every child
deserves to feel seen, to feel be seen, and be celebrated.

(01:57:04):
And so basically the event is inspired to promote inclusion
and you know the power of you know, visualization. So
a lot of negative things happen within our community because

(01:57:29):
we don't have those positive frames of reference, which is
what the Narrative podcast is all about, providing positive frames
of reference about our people and our culture, and especially
when it comes to our children. They don't see a
lot of positive things to look up and see themselves

(01:57:49):
included in the bigger picture, see themselves, you know, being
that firefighter, being that you're not, you know, the little
things all children want to People don't see us, including
the big dynamic. But we see the propaganda machine. Every

(01:58:10):
time we see one of our brothers on the news,
is you know, involved in some type of crime. They're
getting handcuffed and shacko chased by the police. That's what
the imagery, that what they're bombarding us with. We're not
seeing you know, intellectuals and people advocating for change within

(01:58:33):
our community. We're only seeing the social despots of our
community being projected worldwide. We're not seeing the images of
the people uplifting and impacting our community in a positive way.
And that's what that event is catered to. Inspired, inspiring,

(01:58:58):
you know, inclusion and showing positivity and showing our people
being shown in the positive light and elevating and all
that good stuff that a child needs to see in
those early years of development. So yeah, to find out

(01:59:22):
more about the events, you can go to the Facebook
page and type in when I see me, or go
to the website when I See me dot com and
this will tell you the specifics of the event. You know, speakers,

(01:59:44):
and you know all the activities that they're gonna have
for that particular event. You know. Lamar E. Lewis also
has his own consulting firm. He's basically a social change
advocate and he's also teaching people how to be public

(02:00:07):
speakers and motivational speakers and you know, more employable in
the workfield, teaching interpersonal soft skills and digital skills that
will help them better to be able to communicate and

(02:00:29):
make yourself a more valuable asset. And family consulting, and
he has his own consulting page called Lewisfamilyconsulting dot net.
So go check that out and that would do it

(02:00:49):
for my very last positive news article on this edition
of the Narrative Podcast. And please join me to give
them a warm Narrative Podcast round of applause to our
brother Lamar E. Lewis, the brother that put this event
together and the event again it's called when I See Me,

(02:01:25):
all right, So we are on our final stretch. My
very last section of the Nerk Podcast. This section is
called my speaking point section, and just to reiterate, in
my speaking point section, I usually speak about, you know,

(02:01:46):
trending topics, the news, news articles, headlines, whatever's going on
in the world. From the black perspective was our referring
to our people on this platform, original people perspective, because
the media will go out of this way to have
us looking and sounding crazy. So that's what you know.

(02:02:09):
It's basically the commentary section. And then on rare occasions
when I feel like there's nothing going on in the
news worth commenting about, that it's a slow news week,
or if I just don't feel, you know, there's especially

(02:02:30):
nothing going on in the news that requires our immediate attention,
I replace though those days that's this section with a
PSA message in my PSAs are just observations, you know,
things our people need to be aware of or work
on as the people. And I say we, I mean

(02:02:51):
me too, and in manictions me especially. But uh yeah,
So having said all that, today is definitely a PSA day.
A lot going on in the news, super Diddy heavy,
you know, it's super Diddy heavy. If it's not Diddy,
it's Donald Trump. And what's going on with this administration,

(02:03:17):
you know, so nothing real, real, devastating. I think it
requires immediate attention to discuss. But you know, I think
I do have a PSA and my PSA I'm gonna
try to keep it very brief and to the point

(02:03:39):
without going on a whole rant. But I think, you know,
we allow ourselves to be guilt tricked as a people,
especially us foundationally Black Americans. It's like they try to

(02:04:01):
guilt trip us for standing up for ourselves and being
proud of who we are and try to manipulate us
into being outraged for things we don't need to be
concerned about. You know, none of our business, this administration.

(02:04:22):
I'm so proud that we're minding our own business. We're
staying hyper focused on the business at hand and what
is the business at hand for us getting tangible resources,
mainly reparations. That's what's old to us, old to foundational

(02:04:44):
Black Americans is reparation. Every teeny tiny thing else is like,
you know, don't concern us, ain't none of our business
has absolutely nothing to do with us, and we're steering
clear of it, and we're not using our platforms to
you know, feed any energy into it. And try to

(02:05:05):
rile us up with the DEI and try to rile
us up with the Ice Raise, and try to rile
us up with Palestine, and try to rile us up
with the Ukraine. What's happening in the Ukraine. They try
to they're trying to rile us up to use our
influence in voice for matters that do not directly concern us.

(02:05:28):
They want to, you know, invoke our wrath and our
rage on things that don't benefit us as a people.
They're trying to assign us outrage, and we're not allowing
them to do it. And I'm so proud of us
that we're not allowing this system to assign us outrage

(02:05:49):
and tell us what we should be upset about as
a people. You know, So we're gonna clap it up
for us that we're staying hyper focused for once for once,
because we get so easily distracted by things, like especially

(02:06:11):
with this Diddy thing. I am going to do a
special on it, but I shouldn't have to. I feel
I shouldn't have to, But then as a content creator,
I kind of have to. But like with politics and
as far as you know, how our people are being
treated here in America, how there's no resources for us,

(02:06:34):
but we're expected to be sympathetic to other people in
this country who are getting resources that are supposed to
be ours. We're the only group of people that actually
have to host an audition to get help. The migrants
to come over here, that don't have to sign up

(02:06:56):
for anything, They don't have to get on the waiting
list for anything. All their assistance comes automatically. Every other
group of people that aren't foundational Black Americans currently living
in the United States of America is getting free everything,

(02:07:19):
and to free everything comes immediately immediately. They don't have
to do an interview, they don't have to try in
any paperwork, they don't have to meet with the worker,
they don't have to do telephone interviews, they don't have
to be on a.

Speaker 8 (02:07:34):
Waiting list to receive the benefits to give them immediately.
We built this country and we gotta go through all
this red tape to do anything.

Speaker 5 (02:07:45):
Just for example, like with EBT and food stamps for
black Americans, you know when you apply for them. I've
done my research on this. I've been checking state the
state just to see so I kind of know what
I'm talking about. When you sign up for them, you
have to have a telephone interview, Then you gotta verify

(02:08:08):
your wage. Then you got to if the counselor so
orders you, you must participate in if you're not working
a job, you got to be participate in a job
training program, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but
it's not good. If the job training program you don't

(02:08:30):
get placed in the job, just doing it just to
receive the sack benefits, that's not cool. They make you
watch an instructional video. They want to know you know
your assets. Do you have any assets? Why aren't you working?
If you're not working, if you don't have your GB

(02:08:52):
or high school diploma, then make you get that, which
is good. That's a good thing you shouldn't be getting
in anyway. But just to simple fact that they make
you get it to receive snack benefits or like make
you do a class where you're looking you're doing your resume,
and then you got to check in every week with

(02:09:15):
a worker if they sign you a worker, to prove
that you're looking for a job. So you got to
submit applications for places that you've applied and in order
just to eat all that, just to eat some free

(02:09:36):
stuff that they owe you anyway, they owe foundational Black
Americans anyway, and they make you go through all that
for snack benefits. Meanwhile, the migrants and white people living
in America don't have to do any.

Speaker 2 (02:09:51):
Of that.

Speaker 5 (02:09:54):
Same thing. For housing, in housing in pretty much every state,
they want to know your rental history. You know all
the addresses you live leading up to like either public
housing or housing projects for rentals. You know, while you

(02:10:18):
need the assistance, you want to know all your assets,
all your everything, all your financial records. You know, they
want all your check stubs, they want, uh, you know
who's living in the house and all that, and you

(02:10:39):
know all your assets. You for one K, your your
last two or three returns. Credit. Some some places do
a credit check and see you know your credit score migrants.
White people don't have to do any of that, none

(02:11:06):
of it. Only Black Americans have to do this. And
for once in our lives, we're saying we're sitting this
one out, and they're trying to guilt trip us for
sitting this one out and staying focused on our issues
that pertain to and are relevant to us, because they

(02:11:27):
keep showing us they have the money to give us.
What they owe us. The reparations is not a handout,
it is what they owe us. We built this country.
There would be no country for immigrants to migrate too
if there never was in America. So this ain't just

(02:11:47):
about Mexicans. This is all immigrants that financially benefit from
Black Americans, including immigrants from Africa, the Islands, the Caribbeans,
Virgin Islands, our own brothers and sisters to come over

(02:12:08):
here with this sense of entileded entitlement and superiority over
Black Americans. Asians, Italians like Germans, Bozionians, like all immigrants,
don't have to do anything the Black Americans have to

(02:12:30):
do in order to get these benefits. They make us
audition for help when we built this country, and now
we're in the space where we're saying, we're not doing nothing.
You know, if it ain't about us, you know that's

(02:12:53):
our attitude, but it ain't about us. Fuck them. Try
not to curse on here. But you know that's our
that's our mind state, and that's the energy we got
right now, and that's the energy we need to be
on in the time we need to be on as
a people in order to get the change that we're seeking.
And so not to say we're not the empathetic to

(02:13:13):
other people's flight, and we're not sorry and sad that
they're going through what they're going through, but we got
our own issues and we need to focus on as
a people, and we don't need to be distracted worrying
about other groups and people. They can handle it. We

(02:13:33):
don't need to be guilted in to handle other handling
other people's flight when we can't even get our own
plight under control. And we've been suffering longer than any
other group of people who.

Speaker 3 (02:13:46):
Not in.

Speaker 5 (02:13:48):
Just this country, in the entire world, no other group
of people have been fighting as hard as we've been
fighting and still barely winning. You know, our ancestors, they
put in a whole lot of work and they got
us to this point, but it seems like we're kind
of stuck in the mud still. You know, our ancestors

(02:14:13):
they did the hard part, but it's still like every
other group of people gets top billing over American Blacks,
but yet use our culture to propel themselves forward, feed
off our culture, but then turn around in the same
breath tell us we are uncultured and we're unrefined, and

(02:14:34):
we don't have a sense of identity. We don't know
who we are. And you know all this, but then
they expect us to lend our voices to help you,
and you denegrate us. And you're in the position to
use your voice to say something to our government to
give us what they owe us, but you choose not.

(02:15:00):
For example, that's just the immigrants, but there's like white people.
They try to act like our allies, but not really
our allies because they know, you know, what type of
time we are on too. What is that old white
lady's name? For example, Jane Elliott, she built her entire

(02:15:22):
career around lecturing college students about the plight of black Americans,
about black people in particular, but specifically black Americans. All
Throughout her lectures, she talks about systemic oppression, systemic racism,

(02:15:45):
all that stuff, and she's in the power to advocate,
you know, for our reparation, but she doesn't because they
lie to you and tell you the truth at the
same time. So why she lecturing her bread and butter,
you know, off of lecturing about the plight of black people.

(02:16:08):
She will never use her platform to advocate for foundational
Black Americans to get their reparations because she's a racist.
And people get racism and prejudice and bigotry all confused.

(02:16:30):
Like racism is a system, you see, a system that's
designed to keep one specific group in financial power and
social economic status. That's a system, right, just numbers facts,
figures money. Now, bigotry and prejudice, that's emotions, that's emotions attached.

(02:16:57):
If you have you can be have bigoted views about
different groups of people, hate different groups of people. That's emotions,
you know, that's bigot you. Prejudice is your perception how
in your mind you perceive a certain group of people.
You perceive all these people to be this way without

(02:17:19):
actually knowing any of those people. And quite frankly, we
all have bigoted views against another group of people. We
all prejudice against the people other groups of people. But
one thing blacks cannot be is racist because to be
a racist, you have must have one important crucial element.

(02:17:42):
You have to have the power to exclude another group
of people out of your social standings. And that's what
racism is, your social standings. And so as Doc Doctor
Jane Elliott, it's a white women, white American women, that's

(02:18:06):
her social standings. She will never advocate to empower black
people by using her platform and using her voice to
speak up for reparations. You see what I'm saying. You
see how that works, like everything works against us. Like

(02:18:29):
Spanish people, they have the power of exclusion. They can
exclude people. Hey, we don't want you in our store.
You can't come to our neighborhood. We don't want you
in our store. By Asian people, they can exclude people, Japanese, Chinese, Korean,
all everybody comes off the continent in the agent. They

(02:18:49):
have the power of exclusion at times have the power
of exclusion. Our own brothers and sisters from Africa, they
got the power of exclusion. They don't have these power
to exclude all other groups of people that they got
the power to exclude American blacks. But to be a racist,

(02:19:13):
you have to have the power of exclusion. You have
to have some systemic power, financial capital to exclude people.
The laws have to work for you, not against you.
The laws work against us, and every everywhere we live
in the world, the laws work against our people. So

(02:19:34):
will never have the power, the systemic power, to exclude
anybody from our group. So therefore women's like a white
person says, well, black people can be racist too. No,
they can't be racist. They can be bigoted, they can
be prejudice. They can be bigoted and prejudice. That cannot

(02:19:57):
be racism because they do not have the power of exclusion.
Doctor Jane Elliott knows this and has bluntly pretty much
said said it in several of her lectures that you
listen to her. Why she'll never do it because she's
a white woman. You know, she's not going to usurp

(02:20:18):
her power so we can get on the equal playing field.
But set all that to say, we're minding our own business,

(02:20:38):
we're not getting up in other people's business. We're not
getting riled up when you know, and taking the social
media to advocating for this, advocating for that, when our
circumstances is being overlooked. Nobody's helping us but ourselves. So

(02:21:00):
that's all the type of time we are. We all
about nation building, black economics and you know, networking with
each other, but not you know, nothing that pertains directly
to our people. Are we concerned about? Will we allow
ourselves to be concerned about you know, we'll say something sympathetic.

(02:21:24):
We'll have some silly abilities within our community there to
set up there and remove theirselves from their safe home
and go out there in the picket line and march
with people sitting in for Palestine, sitting in for whatever.

(02:21:46):
But you know they're coming. When the police come, they're
coming for you. They're going to bypass everybody in the
crowd and go specifically towards you when you're sitting up
there rallying for cause it has nothing to do with it.

(02:22:12):
And then they also try to guilt us again with
the false narrative of slavery, the white evolutionists. There was
no such thing as a white evolutionist, or no such
thing as white people back then that you know, participated
in the liberation of slavery because they felt in their

(02:22:33):
hearts that were just morally wrong for black people to
be enslaved.

Speaker 7 (02:22:40):
None.

Speaker 5 (02:22:42):
Every white person that ever helped in the ebolition of slavery,
it was financially anthontagious for them to do so. The
whole reason why we even had the Civil War is
because the North couldn't compete with the South. There was

(02:23:05):
a war for resources in the South. You know, they
focused their attention on natural resources, things growing out of
the earth. You know, the their prize crop was cotton
and sugar cane, you know, and other things, textiles, things

(02:23:26):
you need to make clothes. That's what they, you know,
was excelling in the South. Now in the North they
were focusing on more on the manufacturing side. There were
metal workers and building engines and things of that nation.
But back then it just wasn't highly profitable. They didn't

(02:23:49):
have access to the vegetation and all that in the North,
you know, so therefore their funds we're very limited. So
to go to the South and say, hey, you know,
y'all gotta give us a break, cut down on the

(02:24:13):
consumption of your goods and services because we can't keep
up with the demand here in the North. And then
it's no, we're not gonna cut down on our production
of our products because you can't keep up, he said,

(02:24:34):
then the North gets aggressive. I yeah, you're gonna slow down,
and then, you know what, you're want to free those
slaves too, because those are the ones that's making it
hard for us to keep up. South replies, Oh, not
only are we not going to slow down, We're going
to speed up production. And then we're going to keep

(02:24:54):
slaves and make our slaves work even harder. How about that?
And and you know what else, We're gonna succeed from you
all together. Now we don't have to give you nothing.
And that's what that world was about again, the financially advantageous,
not because they felt, you know, it was morally wrong

(02:25:16):
to subjugate people like that. But yet they always want
to guilt trip us to speaking on our own issues
and being driven to see the type of change we
want for our people in our community and to apply

(02:25:39):
pressure on our government to make them give us what
they owe us and be unapologetic about it. Everybody always
trying to make us apologize for something we ain't never
got apologized for. Nothing, Like if you took black tropes
out of America, you wouldn't have in the American culture.

(02:26:01):
American culture literally is built on black trups, things that
they would, you know, use to make fun of black people.
If you removed all that from American culture, you wouldn't
have American culture. So, you know, longest story short, we

(02:26:24):
don't have nothing to feel sorry about. We don't owe
nobody no apologies, We don't owe anybody no allegiance. The
only people we owe is ourselves. So you know, let's

(02:26:45):
keep up that we set this one out energy. If
it don't do, if it don't apply directly to us,
we don't care. Well, eventually they come for you will
let them come. We ready, We've been ready. They never
not stopped coming for us. Name of time period where

(02:27:08):
they never came for our people? I dare you try
and find the time period where they never singled out
black people here in America, where there wasn't a law
or policy or something directly aimed directly at our community.

(02:27:32):
Every little thing that helped our community they removed. They removed.
Firmative action, they got rid of that that was helping us.
Firmitive action out of here, DEI out of here. We
didn't really benefit directly from DEI, but you know, son

(02:27:55):
out of here and they're cracking down on the very
few things that is helping us. They're getting that out
of it. So you know, we're at this point. We're ready.
We're ready for whatever they throw at us. We are uncheckable.
You can't come to us checking us about nothing. You

(02:28:18):
can't guilt trip us no more. We're not apologizing for nothing.
We're not aligning ourselves up with people anymore. With Hey,
you know, now, if you want to sit down at

(02:28:38):
the table and negotiate and pay us to use our black,
beautiful voices and our black beautiful presence, then maybe we
can negotiate, but for free because you're suffering. I don't
think so. I don't think so. So that's where I

(02:29:06):
want to just land my plane. And you know, we
gotta stop letting people guilt us into feeling their plight
when nobody worldwide, globally, even on some our brothers. So
I ain't gonna say all of our brothers and sisters
to immigrate to this country from other countries, you know,
their perception of American blacks when they get here, and

(02:29:31):
their unwillingness to you know, assist with our plight, you know,
quickly aligning with the white people, and we got to
turn for people.

Speaker 6 (02:29:48):
And they like them.

Speaker 5 (02:29:48):
They're called tethers. They're only black women, sease me. They
dressing the hip hop fashion, they talk to hip hop
slang and you know, but professionally, you know, they think,

(02:30:10):
you know, they're superior to American blacks that want to
be equal to whites. They don't want to have nothing
to do with it. Some of our brothers and sisters.
I ain't gonna say all of them.

Speaker 7 (02:30:22):
Some of them won't even speak to you.

Speaker 5 (02:30:36):
I've seen that on jobs that's sit up there, to
sit up there and speak that all the white people
there and then see a black person and American black
person walk right on past them, don't say nothing, big,
all you see is teeth and then look at American
black person. Won't say nothing, won't say hi. I won't

(02:30:58):
even make eye contact with them. But they want us
to speak up. So yeah, that's where we need to

(02:31:22):
be at with it instead with it. We're not going
to feel guilty about not using our voices for things
that do not concern us. We're focused on our reparations.
We're focused on our neighborhoods. We're focused on tangible assets,
money building, generational wealth and closing this wealth gap between

(02:31:45):
us and everybody else in this country, because everybody else
not native to this country has come to this country
propelled themselves forward while we're still stuck in the mud.
And I don't want to hear that garbage about they
applied themselves better. No, they were given opportunities that we

(02:32:07):
weren't given to come over here. To get thousands of
dollars in aid prepaid debit cards, right five to ten
thousand dollars in debit card money, then a monthly welfare
check on top of the thousands that they're already given.
Then getting free housing. Don't have to be on the

(02:32:31):
waiting list to get into those houses or apartment complexes,
no background check, no previous rental history that they got
to go through, just if the units available to get
put in the unit or the house. Free. Medical again,

(02:32:52):
don't have to sign up for it, just giving a
medical card here, you name it. If we're talking education free, education,
locational skills training free. Don't gotta pay that back when
they open their business. They get grants for businesses, don't

(02:33:14):
got to pay no taxes for those businesses. Banks they
get incentive to loan immigrants, tax write offs and stuff
to long. Immigrants start up money to start their businesses,
to start their little corner shops, low interest rates. They

(02:33:35):
either you know, little to know money to pay back
or don't have to pay it back at all. Whereas
black people, we can't even get approved for a loan
to get a vehicle, let alone the house, let alone
money start our own business. So no, we're uncheckable. We

(02:34:14):
don't have nothing guilty to feel bad about anybody else
to get unfear that they feel in their feelings about
them getting the unfair shape when they come to America.
We don't have to line up with you and use
our voices to help your causes. And we're not gonna
do it anymore. We're gonna set it out until we
get what we need and what we what what is

(02:34:36):
owed to us, which is land, which is money, which
is tangible assets, no strings attached, no red tape to
go through to get it. That's what we want. And
that's what type of time you are is. We don't
have any more time to waste with nobody else's foolishness.
