The narray Podcast provides positive frames up referenced about the
original people and original people culture. Welcome to the Narrative Podcast.
I am your host, Halsey Allen. Welcome on my narrators,
Peace piece Piece, PCEP and the b family. Welcome to

(02:18):
my platform. So how we're doing on this fantastic Friday.
We're now rounding out the full week. We're gonna walk
down the whole week, striding on over into the weekend.
You know, this year just took off like a rocket

(02:41):
where in mid July and we'll be looking at fall
pretty soon, Ain't that crazy? Like I said, we're just
really savoring pretty much the last month of summer technically,
I mean this and pretty much the first week of August.

(03:06):
I think the second week of August, the children go
back to school. So yeah, but anyway, welcome to the
Narrative Podcast and those who are unfamiliar with me and
my platform that's an all black content platform, speak about

(03:28):
all things black. Give you a big brief rundown of
the content platform. The Narrative Podcast highlights the beauty and
strength and resilience of the Black community, covering topics such
as black love, empowerment, progression. There the podcast dives deeps
into discussions about black health, economic wealth, innovation, and the

(03:52):
positive reinforcement of black voices too. And your weekdays and
weekends to hearing up inspiring stories, uplifting news, and it's
focused on the achievements of Black individuals across the globe.
And that's just the tip of the iceberg about you know,
my content. But that's pretty much what the Narrative Podcast

(04:13):
consist of. I promote positive reinforcement of our people and
our culture and inspire the listening audience to use their
platforms to uplift our people in culture. As a matter
of fact, my slogan for the Narrative podcasts the Narrative
Podcast changing the narrative, what episode at a time, by

(04:36):
destroying negative stereotyches about original people and original broup of culture.
How do I destroy the negative stereotest about our people
and our culture by providing positive frames of reference about
our people and the culture. So getting things underway if
they're not familiar with me and my platform, how I
typically kick things off before I just dive right into

(04:58):
the content. I go for my format, just give you
a format description. I broadcast two times. I broadcast during
the weekdays and the weekend, So I'm just going to
give you a brief description of both for mat styles.

(05:23):
And then from there, I go on to my promotional
portion of my program, which is just basically it's pretty
much a crowd funding project. Like just I have a
few things that I've completed that generate money to keep

(05:46):
the podcast going. There is a monthly fee attached to
my podcast, so these sources that I'm promoting helped generate
the revenue to keep the podcast going and some stuff
for myself to you know. But yeah, So that's my

(06:11):
promotional portion of the Narrator podcast, and I'm done promoting
all my projects. I give you a broad overview of
the Narrative podcast, just all the nuances of the podcast
everything you should be familiar with and acquainted with to
make your listening experience more enjoyable and to help break

(06:32):
down the content and make it more digestible, and you'll
be able to connect the dots more clearly and see
what direction I'm taking the content in, and you'll be
able to interact and ultimately be able to apply what
I'm saying on this platform in real time. And then

(06:55):
after I'm done with the broad overview of the Narrative podcast,
then I you know, hit you with the actual content
and close out. And so having said all that, let's
start things off with the format breakdown. So, like as

(07:15):
I said, you know, I broadcast a couple of times
during the week, weekdays and weekend. So I'm gonna start
first with since it is a weekday, I'm gonna give
you how I'm gonna present my weekday format and what
it's all about. So we're gonna kick things off. So,
first of all, the mission statement of the Narrative Podcast

(07:38):
is provided positive frames of reference about black people and
black culture, or as I refer to our people and
our culture, original people and original people culture. And I
go more in depth as to why I refer to
our people as original people in my broad overview of
the near podcast. But anyway, the positive frame of reference

(08:02):
that I focus on during the week day is positive
news articles. Focus on delivering positive news articles during the
weekday for a whole lot of reasons. The main reason
is because we're constantly being bombarded with negative news all
weekday long in reference and concern to our people and

(08:25):
our culture. We're always being showcased in a negative light.
There the media, or rather the people that run the media,
go out of their way to play up negative stereotypes
and stigmas within our culture and about our people in

(08:47):
broadcast and you know, NonStop, all weekday long. It doesn't
just stop at the news, but it's all forms of media.
You know, if you really want to break it down,
like all forms of media where they picked our images
and likenesses are depicted negatively in movies and television shows,

(09:12):
literature books, magazines, like if you really really want to
keep it a being, you can't have an American culture.
Like if you strip out, you know, black tropes from
American culture, you wouldn't have American culture, Like eighty five

(09:38):
percent of American culture is derived from making fun of
black Americans. So you know where there's all kinds of
You can go on Amazon right now and find a
whole bunch of products, you know, featuring blackface, you know,

(10:04):
and it's just things of that nature that really impact
our people, in people outside of our culture in a
negative way, that promotes, you know, negativity within our community.
It embodies and encompasses, you know, a whole lot of

(10:28):
stereotypes and propaganda surrounding and regarding our people. So that's
why I focus on delivering positive news articles during the weekday.
It's an absolutely, it's an absolute attack on this. It
is you know, you know, without questioning, the textbook definition
of psychological warfare. How they weaponize and galvanize the media

(10:54):
against our people. It's devastating effect that has within us
seeing and absorbing that negativity all week day long. It
gets ingrained into our psyches and on a subconscious level
as a people, we act out all these negative stigmas

(11:16):
and stereotypes from being exposed to it all weekday. And
then people outside of our culture who don't know any
of us, all they have to go you know on,
you know, how they perceive us is what the frames
of reference that they're given to to them about us,

(11:38):
and all the frames of reference that's given to them
about us are all negative. So therefore when they meet us,
they're apprehensive and you know, not knowing what to expect.
Their expecting for us to behave you know, be prone
to violence and criminality and degeneracy. So you know, that's

(12:03):
the long term effects of being exposed to negativity via
the media. So that's why I deliver the positive news
articles during the weekday to undo the psychological programming and
also to demonstrate that positive things do happen within our community.

(12:28):
And after I'm done delivering my positive news articles, I
have a section where I'm speaking about current events and
things currently trending in the news. I mean, I am
a podcaster, so pretty much all podcasters talk about current

(12:48):
events and things happening in the world, and I'm no different.
The only difference between me and them is I break
it down from the black perspective, things that you know,
what could potentially mean to our people and how that

(13:09):
might affect, effect or impact our culture and community. You know,
that's how I'd unpack whatever current events is going on
in the world. And as a matter of fact, you know,
not only do I impact it, that way, I center
it around my podcast focused and basically, you know, pretty

(13:31):
much anything negative happening within our community as a direct
result of two huge things, systemic oppression and psychological programming
and conditioning. And that's kind of how I pretty much
center all my speaking points around those two ideas that

(13:55):
relate and correlate to, you know, what our people are
experiencing here in America and abroad. But yeah, so I
call that section my speaking point section, and I'm just
talking about current events and what's going on in the world.

(14:18):
And that's my weekday format style. Now my week in
format style, it's slightly different from my weekday format style.
First and foremost, it has more sections, and the way
I present all my material is, you know, I break

(14:39):
it down to sections and then give each of those
sections speaking points in my time be speaking point to
make my listening experience more convenient and efficient to listen
to for the audience. So my Weekend for Matt style
is slightly different. It has more sections. I'm not going

(15:03):
to go over each section. I think it's a total
of five. I'm just gonna just demonstrate how they differ
from one another. But you know, to get there, I
had to first give you the background story of why
I started doing the podcast in the first place. So,
you know, when I started doing this, it was like

(15:24):
in the midst of the pandemic lockdown. Like many content creators,
they just was bored and want something to do. It was,
you know, quarantine, curfew and all that. A whole bunch
of people started podcast. When I started podcasting, I didn't
have any particular topic to talk about. I was just

(15:47):
randomly talking about whatever for the first two or three
episodes of the Nearer Podcast. Later on, I shifted the
focus towards my people in my culture, you know, because
it was constantly the uh seeing negative news. It was

(16:11):
Amar Rberry, it was George Floyd, it was Breonna Taylor,
all the you know, what was happening surrounding the protests,
all that, the uprising, you know, so every day he
turned on the news, it was just a negative, sad,
dreary scene. Not to mention natural disasters, you know, C

(16:37):
nineteen just you name it it, you know, it was
just all it was just all bad in that little pocket.
So what I wanted to do is I shifted the
focus on our people and our culture and just decided
to just speak about positive things that we ran to
the table, and also to promote you know, group economics

(17:04):
as well. And so I started doing that in my
podcast began to take on a new form, and I
noticed people started listening. So I'm looking at my stats
and I will find it a step further. I broke
it down the sections and I gave each of my
section speaking points, and that's pretty much how the weekend

(17:26):
format came to be. But it wasn't the weekend format.
It was just a format because I didn't broadcast during
the week days yet. So I added the week days
later on, like as we was coming out of the pandemic.
This platform that I'm recording these episodes on had a

(17:47):
live feature and so during the week days I would
go live and just you know, read the positive news
articles during the weekday. But essentially that's you know, pretty
much the story of the weekend episode of the NERK podcast.
That's actually my original broadcasting day because I don used

(18:10):
to broadcast on the weekends, and then I later added
the weekday, so you know, the weekdays, you know, is
something new, but I've always broadcast on the weekends and
I've always had it slipping sections and later I you know,
trimmed it down and gave myself a time limit, you know,

(18:33):
to deliver my content because when I first started broadcasting,
had no idea. I used to just talk and talk
and talk. But you know I brought us, got a
centered and focused and you know, kept to my format.
As an end result, you know, I now have a
following me so, you know, and up growing following. Get that.

(18:59):
But yeah, so now I'm going to run through the
weekend format style. Like I said, I'm not going to
break down each section because it has more sections than
my weekday format. So I'm just gonna break down, you know,
how they differ the most important ways of how they differ.
So my positive frame of reference that I focus on

(19:21):
during the weekends is business ownership and entrepreneurialism. And what
I'm doing is that in that when I'm attempting to
do in that section is to do a couple of things.
I'm trying to promote, you know, group economics, black businesses,

(19:44):
you know, promoting black businesses so you will know, you know,
so we can you know, create our own infrastructure, circulate
our dollars in our community like every other group of
people does in the entire world, not just in the
mayor good but you know, that's how you know, ethnic groups,

(20:04):
racial groups, what everyone to call it, groups of people living.
You know, that's how they build wealth is to promote businesses,
so goods and services for that particularly particular group of people.
And we shouldn't be any different. As a matter of fact,

(20:27):
you know, black people in America, we definitely need to
by by, you know, by far by any other people,
be promoting our own goods and services. So that's one
thing I'm doing, is I'm promoting black owned businesses. And
then I'm also normalizing being a business owner and an

(20:52):
entrepreneur and providing the positive frame of reference about business
ownership and entrepreneurialism because we're not given any We're not
giving many. Pardon me, We're given some, but not many.
The very few that we're given are tanted by you know,
scripted reality television shows. Is the black people they use

(21:13):
on those shows are business owners and entrepreneurs. However, the
producers of those shows they only broadcast in a negative light.
They want them to you know, the audience to focus
on sex and drugs and alcoholism and degenerously to uh,

(21:37):
you know, get the ratings for that show. So meanwhile,
you're not you know, clicking in on the bigger picture
that the that the black cast members on these on
those shows scripted reality television shows are business owners and
entrepreneurs and they employ their own people and they're literally

(22:00):
like putting people's children through college and feeding people, you know,
with their you know, with their business or with their
brand if they're in entertainment. So we're not seeing that
part on those scripted reality television shows. That's one of
the main reasons why I'm focusing on you know, business

(22:22):
ownership and entrepreneurialism on the weekends. I do it on
the weekends because you know, when do you purchase the
most goods and services? And the devil was into details
the weekend. You know, any capitalist society, anything to focus

(22:43):
is on consumerism. You know, the government wants you to
buy just being a constant state of spending, consuming because
they want your finances weekend, get it. So you're always
constantly buying something and buying something. While you're out buying something,

(23:05):
you're not spending time with your family, You're not doing
you know, and acquiring critical survival skills, life skills, and
you know, really living a prosperous life because you're concentrated
and hyper focused on, you know, earning enough revenue to
constantly go out and buy something and spend spend your money,

(23:29):
but you're not doing critical things like building, you know,
and creating a life where you can just do what
you want to do when you want to do it.
You see, and that's pretty much all you know, governments
and systems of governing and anything the center centers around capitalism,

(23:55):
you know, that's what they want you to do. Just
constantly be spending so you are distracted from the affairs
of state. But if you're going to be spending your
money anyway, you might as well spend it with your
own crime. And like I said, by doing so, you know,

(24:16):
well created infrastructure and build our own things that we need,
you know, to build a prosperous life for our people
and you know, present day and future generations. So that's
one takeaway of focusing on entrepreneurialism and business ownership. So

(24:41):
I call that section my highlights section, and what I'm
doing in that section is I'm giving you the highlights
of a business owner's or entrepreneur's journey too becoming a
business owner and an entrepreneur, just giving you the important
details that got them on that track, Like you know,

(25:02):
all their experiences they had growing up, where they grew up.
You know. I try to include their hometown, any and
all formal education and training that play the role into
them owning their own business. Ah, you know, partnerships, if

(25:24):
you know how they met their business partner, if that's
relevant to how they're they started their business. You know,
many businesses, I how like the highlight section there, the
name of their business is an acronym for something, so
I include stuff like that, if their business online, how
to get a hold of their product, you know, special

(25:45):
ordering things you need to know to include when process,
when when you're when the company's processing your order. Things
you should know as a consumer. If it's brick and mortar,
I try to include the address, hours of operation, when

(26:07):
the best time is to patronize the businesses and what
they expect from their product, you know, the quality of
the product, what they specialize in, what their best selling
product is, things of that nature. And then also I
have some qualifications that I use to select the business

(26:31):
owners or entrepreneurs that I want to highlight in the
highlight sation when they must be a black owned business
from the top to the bottom, you know, no outside investors.
You know, I try to focus on that they hire
their own and in many cases it's the family owned
and operated business. So in that instance, I'm giving you

(26:53):
an example of generational wealth. And then also they must
perform some type of community outreach. They either have to
pay into a nonprofit organization or you know, sponsor their

(27:14):
own you know, doing something constructive within the community, supporting
the community, you know, like the youth, elderly, just whatever
the community needs that their business you know, plays a
big role in it. And then, last, but not least,

(27:36):
they must off the businesses highlighted in the highlight section
of the Neurok podcast, we can enedition they must coincide
with the nationally recognized months, so they have to be
producing and selling a product that is reflective of whatever
the national nationally recognized day or month is that day

(27:59):
or a month. Because you know, that's my thing, my
ongoing thing, nationally recognized days, your nationally recognized months, and
that's the highlight section in the near the podcast. Week
In addition, another section that I have that is different
from my weekday format is the health and wellness section.

(28:25):
And in that section, what I'm speaking about is simplistic
in nature. It is how it sounds, is talking about
health and wellness and giving health and wellness tips. And
the reason I feel so implied to give health and
wellness tips is because, out of all the groups of
people in the world, our people, black people, as I

(28:48):
refer to our people on this platform, original people, we
are in the most dire strengths health wise, especially those
of the US living here in the United States and America.
They're putting things in the air, water, food, even the

(29:08):
fabrics within our clothing that you know, damage us on
a cellular level. You know, they either try to rewrite
our genetic code or reassemble it, rearrange it, or completely
destroy it. You know, melanin is the most valuable resource

(29:33):
in the entire world, and they'll do anything to harvest today,
and I mean anything. So this is why, you know,
how people are under siege, under attack. They're trying to
basically unalive us any way they can so, you know, physically, mentally, spiritually,

(29:57):
and financially as well. But you know, I don't offer
financial tips to my health and wellness section because I
believe health is wealth, so like for example, usually so
that's very pretty much what why the Health and Wellness
section exists is just basically for our people to armor

(30:21):
up and all the areas that we're being attacked and
so like. Usually on the for example, like physically, I
usually tell the health benefits of a type of food
you can eat or apply topically to, uh, you know,

(30:42):
sustain you sustain your life physically, So like the health
benefits of like an orange. You know, oranges are rich
and this and that and that and improves this and
that and that. You know all the properties and all
the benefits. It's one of the game. For eating oranges

(31:02):
and incorporated oranges in your diet or in applying it
topically as you can, you can't other stuff, you know
what I'm saying. Or some type of physical exercise you
can perform to and stay in good physical health. And
then you know, in all the other areas too, mentally, physically,
and spiritually you get to Just so that's what the

(31:26):
Health and Wellness section is all about, is just giving
tips to our people to fortify themselves in all the
areas that we're being attacked. And just to reiterate we're
being attacked physically, mentally, and spiritually. So that's the health
and wellness section of the Narrative Podcast Weekend addition. And

(31:51):
then lastly, I close out on a super positive note,
my very last section on the Narrative Podcast We Can edition.
It's a section I call this wise Word of the Day,
and the wise word of the days is the jam
a joel, a philosophical nugget of knowledge, just to promote

(32:19):
critical thinking and help us ponder the simple complexities of
this thing we call life. So let's pretty much get
you know, for the how the weekend episode difference from
my weekday episodes. And as I said, you know there's

(32:39):
more sections. You just have to tune in this weekend too,
you know hear in its entirety. So yeah, that'll do
it for my format style breakdown of the Narrative Podcast.
And now we're shifting into the promotional portion of the
Narrative Podcast. So the very first thing I'd like to promote,

(33:00):
obviously is the podcast itself. There are many ways you
can support my platform. It's available on all audio streaming platforms.
Wherever you go to listen to podcasts, you should be
able to find the narrative podcast. Just remember be looking

(33:21):
out or listening rather in audio format. If you want
to listen to all black content, make sure you're listening
to the near podcast hosting My Heartsey Island, because there
are literally thousands of podcasts out there titled the narrative podcast.
Is like fair use, there's no way to trademark that title.

(33:47):
So as an end result, there are thousands of podcasts
titled the narrat podcast. But then speaking about the topic
and subject topics and subject matter that I speak about
when I speak about all things black, listen to a
platform that's discussing the plight of our people and offering
solutions and identifying the problem and trying to unite us

(34:09):
as a people. Then tune into the Narrative podcast hosted
by me Halsey Allen. And you know, that's how you
support the narrative. One of the ways is support the
narrative podcast. You know in audio format. Like I said,
it's available on all audio podcasts streaming platforms, So listen

(34:34):
to it and then download those episodes. That's available on
all audio streaming platform networks. And you should see the
download icon and wherever you go to listen to your podcast,
and it's usually a cloud shaped icon with an arrow
pointing down. You know, that's how you download the episode.

(34:58):
And by download the episode, you help generate page clicks.
The page clicks translate into revenue, you know, so the
more page place you get, the more money you earn.
So you know, every you know, if you know anything
about SEO monetization, that's like all engagement counsel engagement, engagement engagement.

(35:21):
Listen to the Narrative podcast, download episodes of the Narrative podcast,
and then also share those episodes across all social media
platforms from whatever source you go to to listen to podcasts.
And another way you can support the Narrative podcast is

(35:42):
to follow me on x formly Twitter. My ex profile
name is Ice stay Good at Halsey Allen on X
And the reason why you're want to follow me on
X is because it's a podcast platform that I'm gonna
porting on. It automatically uploads episodes of the Narrative Podcast

(36:05):
directly to my EX account as soon as I'm done
reporting the episode. So by doing by following me on X,
you will be alerted in in the loop every time
a brand new episode of the Narrative podcast debut, so
you'll be the first to get it if you follow

(36:25):
me on X And just to reiterate my h X
profile is I stay good at AUSSI, So do that,
and then when you come to my X page your
confirmation that you're on the correct X page. You should
see a copy of my book of poetry that I've
written is titled The Black Card. It's pinned to the

(36:48):
top of my page, and I'll be promoting that that momentarily,
but right now we're focusing on the Narrative podcast. So
once it's see that book pens to the top of
the page, then you ship. You have your confirmation you're
on the correct X page to access the narrative podcast content.

(37:12):
You know, it's very crucial that you know you confirm
that you're on the correct X page. Is out here
cloning pages, but anyway, I have to confirmed you're on
the correct X page. What I need you to do
then is it click on the latest link of the
Narrative podcast. Click on that link, and once you click

(37:39):
on it, it shipped calls and to expand revealing my
podcast logo. My podcast logo is just a sillho whatever
microphone says the narrative podcast on it. And once you
see this silhouette, what I then need you to do
is download that episode to and have you her Pardon me,

(38:05):
I jumped ahead of myself. So after the logo expands,
what then needs you do is click on the light button.
Like button should be located right at the top of
the logo and it's in the shape of a heart.
To put the heart shaped light button. And then that

(38:32):
ship caused the podcast logo to expand a second time,
rebuilding a new set of options. And remember it's all
about engagement, so perform all of these functions. You can
perform all of these functions. These functions will generate page hits.
The page hits generates revenue, So that's how that works.

(38:57):
Once the podcast logo is expanded second time, I didn't
need you to click the light button. It's in your
shape with hearts with the hard shaped light button. And
then comments in the comic box located next to the
light button. Leave me a comment the comic box. Comment
anything you like about the podcast and questions you have,

(39:21):
any type of feedback, anything you want to leave in
the comic box. It doesn't really matter positive or negative.
It's just to generate revenue. You can't think of anything
to type, you know, type your name, put an emoji
in the comment box from a different country, put your

(39:44):
flag in the comic box, put a character in the
comic box, put a letter, an alphabet letter in the
comic box. You can just type A, B, C, D, E, something,
don't even matter. Just put something in the comment box.

(40:05):
And then after that, after you left your comment. Uh.
Then is the most important feature is the download features,
just like in the audio streaming platforms, and it should
be in the shaping the cloud with the arrow pointing down.
The arrow pointing down is a symbolized action of downloading.

(40:29):
To click on that to begin downloading the episode of
the Narrator podcast. And you know, you should know it's downloaded.
When you see a ring buffering, the ring will stop
buffering and the episode is footy downloaded. And after that
episode is sweetly downloaded, then I need you to share.

(40:50):
Put the share button the share upload the episode of
the narwor podcast or whatever platform that you like sharing
or uploading contents too. And that's how you support the
Neror podcast. But following from X, another way you can
support the ner podcast is to follow me on YouTube.
My YouTube profile is halsey Olity just Halseylity. You can

(41:12):
access episodes of the Narrative Podcast on YouTube like going
to my videos and my videos, or should publicly all
the episode Narrative Podcast episodes available on my YouTube page.
You're all in chronological order, going all the way back
to my very first episode of the Nerik Podcast, which

it should be like in the fives five hundred, I think. Yeah,
that's how you support the Narrative Podcast. Will follow me
from YouTube is to go access those older videos, like

(41:55):
comments and share them across all social media platforms. Now,
the reasons why they're not newer episodes of the near
the podcasts because YouTube has changed their U UH community
guidelines and UH permissions and all that tech stuff. So basically,

(42:18):
the UH platform that I'm recording these episodes didn't want
to update your software to comply with YouTube's new uh
you know, updated policies and UH community guidelines surrounding sharing content,

(42:40):
so they just dropped them as a you know, a
distributor or whatever you would call it where you go
to upload content, So they just dropped them from their
platform rather than just updating their software to you know,
accommodate you know, the YouTube's new software that they had.

(43:04):
So that's why there are no newer episodes of the
Narrative Podcast on YouTube anymore. But you know, before they
made those changes, had all those older episodes of YouTube
still on the Narrative Podcast still on YouTube, and YouTube

(43:26):
getting delete those, so those are still available to listen to.
So go to YouTube and listen to those older episodes
of the Narrative Podcast hosted by me hoswit Allen, like
comment and share all those episodes across all social media platforms.
And that's how you support the Narrative Podcasts would follow
me from YouTube, and that's pretty much it as far

(43:53):
as supporting the Narrative Podcast. Now, YouTube was once sent
to this platform, just like X's and that's you know
why I even have all those older episodes of the
Narrative Podcast on YouTube because they used to automatically go
up to YouTube. So if you come across the link

(44:15):
to the Narrative Podcast on Facebook or threads or Instagram,
it's probably because I had to manually put the link
there for you to see it. So when you're scrolling
on any of those platforms like Facebook or threads or
TikTok or whatever. It's probably because I had to manually

(44:37):
put the link there. But you know, it used to
go there because it was synth to Facebook and YouTube.
But it's no longer seen the YouTube anymore. Or that's
why there are no newer episodes of the near podcast.
But I already tells you how to support them. And yeah,
going over to my YouTube page, Alan, go to my

(45:01):
videos Black Commonist share all the episodes of the Narrator
podcast across also some of the platforms, and that's how
he support the nerra the podcast when you follow me
from YouTube. All right, moving right along. So the next
thing I'd like to promote in the promotional portion of
the Narrative podcast is my book of poetry. It's the

(45:22):
title The Black Card, written by me Hawsey Allen. A
Black Card is a thirty page book of poetry. The chronicles,
you know, the journey and the rich heritage of the
black experience. Everything we experience as a people, both positive

(45:49):
and negative, is highlighted in that book of poetry. If
you're a melanated man or woman, you will unequivocally relate
to each poem in that book. It'll make a great gift,
a good travel read, coffee table read, just a good

(46:13):
book to relax with. So jet go check it out.
It's over on a platform called Poetizer. So go to
poetizer dot com, go their virtual online bookstore and look
for my book titled The Black Card, and it's written
by me Hawsey Allen. Now, if you're unfamiliar with Poetizer,

(46:34):
Poetizer is a social media platform for writers, people that
enjoy writing, particularly poetry, but it's open to all forms
of writing, but they focus on, you know, just poetry.
So they have all kinds of activities and contests and games,

(46:55):
and then of course people can socially interact with one
another as any other social media platform. But the most
important feature that they have for people to participate on
that platform is they've incorporated built in self publishing software

(47:16):
which will allow the user to write, publish, market and
sell a book that they're right on their platform. And
that's why they have a virtual online bookstore to you know,
showcase those written works that members of that social media

(47:40):
platform creates. And then they've also added merch as well,
so you can go create some merch for your book
that you wrote as well, but we're just talking about
the actual book. So my book of poetry is called
The Black Card, and it's available on poetizer dot com.

(48:00):
So go their virtual online bookstore on Poetizer and look
for my book of poetry written by me Hawsey Allen,
and it's titled The Black Card. And now to give
yourselves pitch or something that kind of describes the book
more in its entirety. So The Black Card is more

(48:22):
than just poetry. It's a poetic manifesto, a lyrical tribute
to the reality, resilience, and richness of the black experience
with both versus the cut deep in imagery that sores.
A Black Card reclaims the dignity, the man's respect and
honors the legacy of the people who have turned struggling
to strength culture in the power. More than just poetry,

(48:43):
this is a declaration. Black is royal, Black is unstoppable,
Black is everything. So The Black Card on poetizer dot com.

but yeah, that's how you support Hard's poetry. Point the

(56:12):
blog on blogger dot com and add a rap it
for the promotional portion of the narrative podcast. Now we're
going onto the broad overview of the narrative podcast before
hopping into the content today. So kicking things off starting

(56:36):
with the podcast name or not the podcast name party.
You know how I coined the phrase narrator in reference
to the people to listen to my content, So as
I was inspired to coin that phrase by the textbook

(56:57):
definition of the word narrator, and the narrator is just
one who tells or narrates the story to the audience.
So you know, just so the audience can keep up
with the story. They provide full context everything the audience
should know about the story to make it more digestible,

(57:18):
and they'll be able to keep up with it. Yeah,
that's what the narrator does. And you know how I
equated it to you know, what I'm trying to do
here on this platform is just this little thing that
I always say, or I've heard it once before, but
I just think it's more relevant to you know what

(57:40):
it is I'm doing on this platform, which is to
inspire the listening audience to tell or narrate our own stories.
It's just a little saying to go something like this.
If you don't tell your own story, your own story
will be told for you. And that's what the media
is doing. They're telling our story, the story of our

(58:02):
people for us. And the story that they're telling about
our people is a negative one. As I said, they're
weaponizing the media against us. They're only putting out negative
frames of reference about our people. In our culture. You know,
we lose every single scenario that were depicted in the

(58:22):
media and by the media. I don't just mean the news.
I mean television shows, movies, and books and you name it.
Our people are always depicted in the negative light. So
while we can't control, you know, how we're perceived across
media platforms, living this digital information age, we can't control

(58:44):
the types of content that we put out about ourselves.
So we can essentially tell or narrate our own stories
on our own platforms. So that's how I was encouraged
to coin that term narrator. For people to listen to

(59:05):
my podcast, I'm gonna give you some quick examples of
how to be a narrator. So since I coined the
phrase narrator, I'm obviously a narrator every episode of the
Narrative podcast that you listen to. When you listen to it,

(59:27):
I'm providing positive frames of reference about our people and
our culture. These positive frames of reference just happen to
be in audio format because it's an audio podcast platform.
So that's how I'm changing the narrative on my end.
I'm changing the narrative one episode at a time. So

(59:50):
as a narrator on your end, you can change the
narrative one social media post at the time, and you
can do that by posting bit pos positive visual content
content of our people engaging in something positive preferably something

(01:00:11):
that contradicts a negative stereotype about our people. So say,
for example, like you know we're all unintelligent, you can
post a positive visual image of us excelling academically, you know,
getting good grades, either you yourself getting good grades, or

(01:00:33):
somebody in the neighborhood or your state, providence, you know,
breaking some type of scholastic record. You know, saying we're
all prone to criminality. Can post positive imagery of you know,

(01:00:56):
either yourself or somebody within your community, creating some type
of nonprofit organization that you know, helps change people's trajectory
in life, whether it be young people or young adults.
You know, just something the complete opposite of the negative

(01:01:17):
stereotype that represents our people. And that's how some examples
of how you can be an effective narrator. If you
can't think of any of those examples that I just named,
one of the most agious ways you can change the
narrative is just posted positive visual content of yourself, just smiling,

(01:01:40):
being happy, enjoying life, living your life in a good
positive way, being in a good positive space. Because when
you do that, you know, that disrupts the programming they
want us to see. Us all angry and depressed and
you know, looking lost. You know, it's just like dang,

(01:02:02):
everything you setting before these people to destroy them didn't work.
Back to the drawing board. So you know, that's how
you can properly change the narrative on your one social
media posts at the time. Just positive visual content, especially

(01:02:23):
if you're content creator. All right, moving right along. So
the one of another nuance you should be aware of,
were listening to the narrative podcasts. I refer to our
people on this platform as original people. I refer to
our people as original people for a plector reasons, you know,

(01:02:51):
not not that there's nothing particularly wrong with being black.
There as many positive instances. The word black, you know,
symbolizes a whole lot of positivity. But I feel, you know,
the word original is just kind of sure a ture
form to represent us as a people. For starters, you know,

(01:03:16):
we're original kind of hintset being unique in one of
a kind, and you know we are unique in one
of the kind. There's no other group of people like us.
We marched to the beat of our own drums. We
don't follow trends, We cent turns. The only trends we
follow is because somebody from our community set venturens. So

(01:03:40):
you know, we're original in that sense. You know, the
word original also hints at being the first. So it's
historically accurate in terms of representing our people because we
were and are the first beings in existence. We existed

(01:04:02):
thousands of years before any other group of people in
the entire world. Everybody has a date for how long
they've been in existence. You can fact checking any group
of people, you know, something to pop up and chat
GBT or Google, but nothing pops up for our people.

(01:04:27):
Know why, because there's never been a time period that
we haven't existed. We existed thousands of years before any
other group of people. So that's historically accurate. You know,
as far as who we are as a people, who
was the original everything? You know, there's not one thing

(01:04:50):
we did an event, you know, we been all contemporary
contemporary forms of everything, everything can think of. We invented
your the original scholars, the original explorers and ventures, chemist, architects,
you name it, we did it first. So we're original

(01:05:16):
in that sense. So and then also, since we're talking
about history always every single episode, I have to dispel
the false narrative surrounding slavery. We keep on shying to them,
perpetuated this false narrative with slavery. We keep on trying

(01:05:36):
to insinuate you know, all everybody, everybody black, especially black
people living in America. The only reason why we got
got here is because you know, our ancestors was bought
on slave boats to this point of wherever, not just

(01:05:57):
in America, but whatever, just especially you know, as I said,
being the first people here. Do you think white people
was the first people to explore the world. We existed
thousands of years before any other being on the planet.

(01:06:18):
Doesn't it just make come to logical reasoning that we
left the point of origin that we were at. Everybody
saying it's Africa, but you know, many people believe it's
here in America. But that's another debate for another time.
But point being, you don't think that we explored everywhere

(01:06:44):
and then populated the places that we explored. Yeah, we did,
We absolutely did that. That's how there's VARs concentrations of
us in every part of the world. You know, we
didn't just wait for a slave boat to snatch up

(01:07:05):
our ancestors in places all around mong the you know
trail they took or they said they took for the
Transatlantic slave trade and Channel slave We didn't just wait
for the diaspor wars to pop off before we just

(01:07:27):
decided to see what's over here, what's over there, what's
over there? There's an instant more the reason that you know,
when people that didn't look like it's palm colored, people
that didn't resemble us, came up with that notion to
enslave people, you know, wouldn't it be more convenient just

(01:07:49):
to enslave the people that you know who then went
over to explore this a slave those people then to
sit up there and go all all the way to
Africa from England, in Spain and all those other places
that you know reportedly purchased African slaves to just enslave

(01:08:13):
the people that was you know, the darker complexed people
in regions that were closer to their country. Yeah, so
that's just the false narrative of slavery. There's so many

(01:08:34):
of them. You have to just do your own knowledge
and come up with your own reasoning, you know, keyword
logical reasoning why they want to keep on perpetuating this
myth of slavery. The only accurate thing they got right
in slavery is the cruel things they did to our people.

(01:08:56):
Watch we were enslaved, That's absolutely true. You know, they
absolutely used us for bed warmers. They absolutely ate us,
They absolutely wore our flesh, They absolutely castrated the males.

(01:09:18):
They absolutely did rape our women. They absolutely did rape
our men. So, yeah, they just they did all kinds
of messed up stuff to us during slavery. They even
as went as far is to use our babies for

(01:09:40):
live alligator bait. Yeah, they did that during slavery. So
the manner of which they tortured us was one hundred
and ten percent accuracy. But the time amount of how
long it went on, and you know, the route they
took get the slaves, all that's you know, all this like,

(01:10:04):
you know it's either exaggerated or one hundred and ten
percent lied about it. You just have to do your
own knowledge and see to find every single lie. But
the main reason why they do it is to dig
in our self esteem, to make us feel like, oh,

(01:10:24):
you know, your ancestors were all enslaved, there were slaves.
You know, they want to just plant that little seed
of fear and inferiority in you through slavery because they
just always want to you know, perpetuate and you know,

(01:10:45):
just embellish and blow those images up of us shackled
and couldn't fight back in subservience to white people. That's
what they want to really just keep on replaying over
and over in our minds when it comes to slavery.

(01:11:08):
They want to skip over the generation of where we
were rulers and we taught other civilizations how to live.
Is when you go look at our background, that's everywhere
we existed, we taught people how to live off the land,
how to improve their lives, how to heal themselves from diseases.

(01:11:34):
That's all we ever did as a people is try
to make other people's lives better. Whereas palm colored people,
everywhere they existed, all they ever bought was war, testaments,
family and suffering. That's all they ever bought anywhere all
throughout history. That they try to write it to make

(01:11:56):
themselves look like they, you know, civilized humanity, when actually
they ruined humanity. And that's the whole nature of perpetuating
this false narrative of slavery. They want to have us
just thinking only one heroad, we only had one heroy

(01:12:19):
telling me and we only had one Nat Turner, when
all throughout our history while we were enslaved in America,
there was like thousands of plantation uprisings like we gave
it just as good as we got it. You know.
They want to perpetuate the false narrative of the frightened

(01:12:44):
Negro slave who balks mess. Please don't with me. That's
what they want to keep on perpetuating. They don't want
to tell us when tell them when we, you know,
took over these plantations and decapitated everybody in the place plantation,
including the children. They want to leave that partoo after

(01:13:08):
history books. They want to just have us believing that
only Haiti was the only one revolted, was the biggest
revolutionary people in the world as far as black people go,

(01:13:35):
when in reality, the Haitians were inspired by Black Americans
by learning of us revolting against the slave masters, which
inspired them to revolve. But I digress. I just want

(01:13:57):
to always just you know, try to this spell like
that's one of the biggest things I do, is just
to spell false narratives surrounding our people and our culture.
And then lastly, I refer to our people as original
people in an attempt to unify us as one universal people.

(01:14:22):
You know, there are just so many gray areas as
far as as uniting as a people. You know, things
are separate us as a people, you know, But the
term original, I believe will get us all on one
accord because like there's unfortunately, there's a whole lot of

(01:14:42):
gray areas with being black, just black as there are
different levels of blackness, and it varies culturally, it varies regionally.
You know, if you're living in the same state, you're
not the same kind of black as like you know,
somebody black in a different region. We all have cultural variants,

(01:15:05):
we all have there's lineage that varies. We all have
various lineages. So it's just like you know, to the
average person though, when they view our people, they just say,
we're black, but you know, we're not that type of black.

(01:15:25):
And then people over there be like, yeah, we're black,
but we're not that type of black. And so I
just feel like the word original, Chinda just sums it
up for everybody. Everybody, all mellenated people can refer to
themselves as original people. We were the first people ever here.

(01:15:47):
We can all trace our lineage back to the original
point of origin. For all mankind. We all possessed high
concentrations of carbon aka melanin, and we all fight the
same you know, systemic plight anywhere we're located in the
entire world. Any type of organized structured system, law or governments,

(01:16:13):
you know, or authoritative structure, power structure is all centered
around suppressing our people. So we all have that unspoken bomb.
We gonna all relate to each other from that space
where original people. You know. That's why I refer to
our people as original people on this platform as often

(01:16:35):
as possible. Of course, if I'm reading the article and
the article says black, I'm gonna say black, or the
article says African American, I'm gonna say African American. But
you know, ideally, I just say I try to refer
to our people as original people as often as possible
because I feel like, you know, it's a more accurate

(01:16:55):
discretion of who we are as a people. Moving right.
Their podcast is a positive safe space for original people.
I don't try to slander or promote gossip. I try
to discourage against gossip, try to keep it a gossip

(01:17:19):
free zone. I think gossip is what's destroying our people.
We're in the unique space to use this digital these
digital resources to network and build you know, relationships that
will propel us forward as the people. But whereas instead
we're investing in gossip, you know, trying to tear each

(01:17:41):
other down, trying to be little and be rad each
other instead of build each other up. So this is
what this platform is all about, you know, not gossiping,
name calling, roasting, slandering. It's all about building up, you know,
edifying our people, promoting positive reinforcement of our people in
our culture. Just creating a positive safe space to celebrate

(01:18:09):
our accomplishments, achievements and be proud of who we are
as a people, what we've accomplished as a people, and
you know, all the strides that we're capable of and
you know, inspire this generation and the next generation. You know,
that's what this platform is all about. It's what this
movement is all about. It's not just a platform. It's

(01:18:31):
a movement just to normalize greatness, normalize positive reinforcement of
your brother and your sister, normalize the well being of
our people. But with every rule, there is an exception,

(01:18:55):
in the exception to the no put down rule, you know,
for as far as our people are concerned is to
you know, far as the no roasting put down rule is, is,
if one of our people you know, from our community
identifies themselves as an enemy to our community, then all

(01:19:17):
of that goes out the window, you know, because you've
identified yourself as an enemy by intentionally embracing all these
negative stereotypes of stigmas about our people in our culture
for money. So you raise your hand and say, I
will be that spook, I will be that kon, I

(01:19:38):
will be that I will be that sambo. That's what
you're saying when you take that money and embrace these
negative stereotypes about our people and our culture. So once
you cross over into that roald to intentionally, you know,

(01:20:01):
embrace that just to make sure you're straight and just
don't care about how we look as a unique you know,
about your family who raised you and all that. Just
as long as you get what you want out of life,
then your enemy of our people. So I can't rock

(01:20:21):
with you. I'm not gonna speak too highly of you
if you're in the news for something that makes all
of us look bad. But other than that, this is
a positive safe space for our people, for original people,
you know, to build up, not destroy, uplifting edified. That's,

(01:20:47):
you know, the pretty much the purpose of the narrative podcast. Last,
but not least, this is a time platform or trying
to deceive one hour per broadcast. As a matter of fact,
the intro to the narrative podcast, the broad overview, that's
the longest portion of the program. You make it through that,

(01:21:10):
then you know everything else is all downhill. And it's
intentionally done because I don't have all day to speak,
just like I know you don't have all day to listen,
So I try to deliver it in an efficient manner
to where I can cover a whole lot of topics
without boring you to sleep. So that's you know the

(01:21:32):
nature of my time limit that I try to set
for myself. When I do exceed an hour, you can't.
You can barely tell because I transition so smoothly because
of the way I break up all my content. Like
I said, I break it down to sections, and each
section has speaking points, and I time each one of

(01:21:54):
those speaking points to just make sure you know, I'm
just not m But yeah, that's pretty much the nature
of the narrative podcast time limit, and basically I'm here

Underscore Safe two point oh and so let's give it
up for our brother Isaiah Harvey for inventing Safe Signal
two point zero. All right, So now wrapping it up

(01:34:46):
with my very last section of the Narrative podcast. Just
to reiterate, this is my speaking point section, and my
speaking point section is just current news, things currently happening
right now or around the world or on the internet.
Just what I'm unpacking it and the way I'm unpacking
it is through the black experience, because need to go

(01:35:07):
out of this way to have this looking and sound
and crazy. Sometimes when I'm unable to find or I
don't feel like there's anything in the news worth covering,
I replaced this section with the PSA, and my PSA
is just really involved things I think. I feel our

(01:35:29):
people need to work on as a people to get
better at and by we I mean me too, and
in many cases me especially. But today I actually do
have something kind of news worthy to talk about. So
appears somebody from within our community is going viral. This

(01:35:58):
individual is never not going by ever since he started
doing social media. Uh, there's all kinds of mixed opinions
about him. Some people love us speaker, can't stand him. Uh,
you know, some people think he keeps it real. Some
people think he's a scorge. Some people think he's conscious.
Some people think he's a sambo. You know. Like I said,

(01:36:20):
you know, there's a whole lot of mix of pigons
about this individual. Lover hate him. If you're on your
device or on the internet at all, you're going to
know his name. The brother's name is Charleston White's Charleston
White is a content creator. It's just one of them
people on the Internet that always has an opposing view

(01:36:43):
on something. Whatever it is, he got the opposing view
on it. And then, like I said, for that, a
whole lot of people don't like him because he always
has an opposing view. However, he's back in the media
and he's going viral because as he's exposing some new

(01:37:03):
developments in the Carmelo Anthony case. For those unfamiliar with
that case, just new your research, young man. It's happened
back in April. He is a young African American man,
mail young brother, young original male, young original king was

(01:37:29):
defending itself and resulted him defending itself. I'm laughing to
keep him crying. Part in me. I'm not making light
of the person that's no longer here, a young man
by the name of Austin metcalf So him could involve him,

(01:37:53):
Austin Metcalfe and his brother. I don't feel like saying
the brother's name because it's not really relevant to what's
going on. He's still alive. He's in trouble for stabbing
and unliving his brother Austin. So that resulted in the
end of life. And now you know, you got the

(01:38:16):
whole state against him. Before they even charge him with
the crime. They put the death penalty on the table.
So this is you know, this is it went. It
went ugly really really quickly. It went ugly super quick.

(01:38:41):
So you know, it is what it is. And a
racial line has been drawn in the sand. And it's
because they made it racial, you know, because first of all,
we already knew his name. You're never supposed to publicize
a miner's name. You were still technically a he turned

(01:39:01):
eighteen during this He wasn't eighteen at the time of
this incident, so you know, that's one. Then the fact
that they put you know, they're on social media, and
the way they've been publicizing the story, trying to make

(01:39:22):
him look like a monster, you know, like a criminal.
And before this incident, he never got in trouble at school.
He always received passing marks. He was in involved in
nonprofit organizations, and he did when he was completing all

(01:39:43):
his you know, necessary works of charity to put on
his college applications, so like he was like participating in
the community as a volunteer before this incidents happened. But
the way they painting him out in the media, they

(01:40:03):
try to paint him out in the media as a thug.
And so where did Charleston White come into play? You know,
he is a social media personality, and like I said,
he always has an opposing view. And when he first
spoke of, you know, the incident, he expressed his opposing

(01:40:29):
view something in the context to where he felt, you know,
Hermelo Anthony was in the wrong. You know how Charleston
White tar yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that little nigga
stabbed the motherfucking white boy. Now that's going to jail.

(01:40:51):
Fuck that nigga. Yeah yeah, yeah, you know how he talks.
But anyway, he quickly changed his tune. He did a
complete one eighty and now he's revealing you know, new new,

(01:41:21):
a new perspective nobody's been really thinking about. And he's
coming at well something that we in our community, we
always know that this is a place, and like, why
wasn't that from the get go people thinking about that
from the get go, the way that was controlling the
narrative surrounding the information. So on a post that he made,

(01:41:52):
he outs Metcalf's father, Austin Metcalf's father. He said he's
been trying to manipulate the media. He was in a
strange relationship with the mother, so basically he's not present
in the household. This is what Charleston White is exposing

(01:42:12):
or a legend in his new series or uplowst remarking
on you know, the Carmelo Anthony case. He also, you know,
highlights Sarah Field's involvement in all this politician by the

(01:42:33):
name of Sarah Fields, you know, her dealings with it
and trying to create and perpetuate this false narrative of
Carmelo Anthony's image, saying she's coercing members of the media,
blackmailing people if they didn't comply, threatening the fire people.

(01:43:06):
Also using her courtroom connections. You know, she knows a
whole lot of district attorneys and such, so getting enobtaining
classified information and then uploading it on the interview on
the internet. He alleges also in his video that the

(01:43:27):
actual video tape is public records and anybody can come
up to the school and request to see the tape
of the actual incident. Go out. Now, I think that
parts cat. I think that part's cat. You know, you
can't just go up to a school and request to

(01:43:48):
see records. You can't, So I think I don't think
he did his research on day, but everything else is
like spot on. You know, that is exactly how the
government works. That is exactly how these politicians high things.

(01:44:08):
It's exactly how they spend the narrative through the media
to demonize people within our community. So I think he's
spot on with all his assertions that he's made in
his series of videos. Now, his motivation behind it, I

(01:44:28):
don't know. I don't know his motivation behind it is
it is highly dubious. He stated in many instances, he
is for hire, he's for money. He's on the internet
strictly for money to attach his name to the Carmelo
Anthony that they started out on the losing side of it.
So there's not much money in it for him in

(01:44:51):
the way of the family paying him anything. Because it's like,
I don't even think Ben crumpicked up the case. I
don't believe he being Crump ain't picked up the cases
because you know, he knows he can't win if he
ain't picked up the case. If Ben Crump hasn't picked

(01:45:11):
up the case, he knows he can't win. So it's
gonna be a long uphill battle for the Anthony family.
Another assertion he made in his in his video is
that you know, there's been false accusations about the Anthony family, uh,

(01:45:35):
frauduently posting gofundmes, and you know, he is exposing that
and uh saying the family never had no go fundmes.
That was the law of offices that they were working.
They you know, posted it and froze all the assets
so they can get the retainer fee, you know, for

(01:45:57):
handling the case. So that's what's something he's saying in
the video. You gotta go check it out, do your
Google's and just you know, I think you could just
go go into the YouTube browser just Charleston White on
Carmel Anthony and it'll pop right up the whole interview
in this entirety. Yeah, a couple of things also about

(01:46:25):
Charleston White, Uh, you know, he began out as an activist,
Like his charge he got charged with unliven somebody as
a juvenile with another juvenile. He in court told on
the person he was with, you know, Ash rise to

(01:46:49):
to be the inner necessation he is today. You know,
he jokes and makes fun of it and glorifies, like
telling on people and all that and calling the police
on that several videos of him posting himself calling the police,
goading people to get mad at him. Then they when
they respond in kind, talking about what they're going to

(01:47:10):
do to when he gets on the spot and he
traps them into you know, threatening to beat him up
or shoot him or whatever, and then records that and
then sends it to the police officer. He done like
millions of videos like that where he's done that to people.
But you know, his journey as an advocate, uh, he

(01:47:34):
got work as you know, the advocates juvenile justice. You know,
whether you like him or don't like him, he makes
you mad or whatever. What you can't knock is his
body of work he's done juvenile justice advocacy. He has

(01:47:55):
you know, put pulled out money out of his own
pocket to slang rappers in Chicago that like all these
drill rappers that you know, young drill rappers within the
last five to ten years. In the five to ten
years stand since he's been a you know, social media influencer,

(01:48:19):
he has donated money out of his own pocket to
the families of these slang drill rappers, gave money to
their mothers and made sure they're straight. There's been thousands
of things that I don't agree with, you know, him
jumping out the window like on Nipsey Hustle. He said,

(01:48:40):
f Nipsey Hustle. And then he clarifies, he said, no,
I said f Hustle, and this Hussle is his rap persona.
His real name is Aramis. I didn't say Aramis. But
whatever he's done, like some real foul things like uh.
He had one instance where he was reading a final call,

(01:49:03):
went to the back of it, got the picture of
Elijah Muhaimad, you know, and blew his nose on it
and said, if the n oi, if you know what
I'm saying, I can't stamp that, you know, instead some wild,
crazy foul things. But you know, he's put in the work,

(01:49:24):
is what I'm saying. He's done the work as an advocate.
When he started first doing his video, he was doing
a form of advocacy. He was chasing prostitutes off of
public property. Then was turning tricks on school property. So
he was embarrassing the prostitutes and embarrassing the Johns from

(01:49:47):
not wanting to you know, commit sexual acts near a school. So,
like I said, he said, he has a history of advocacy.
He's also had videos in this early before he really
became an influencer where he was going to UH town

(01:50:11):
hall meetings and speaking on behalf of the community such
as like traffic lights and safe other safety issues and
all that. So, like, you know, he's like the perfect scale,
like he got it kind of he balances out for
all the negative things he's done, he's done a whole

(01:50:32):
host of positive things. So he's a lot of like
you know, he's a never ending teetering scale, so you
don't never know which side of the skill's gonna tick.
You know, he's going to be negative one week, or
he's going to be positive one week. You don't know. So,
like what you can't do is you can't knock him.

(01:50:53):
He's done the work. So when you're criticizing him, just
make sure that you've done the work. You can feel
however you want to about him, say whatever you want
to about him, just make sure and when you're critiquing
him that you've done the work. Because he's done the work.

(01:51:13):
He's put you know, feet on the pavement in the community.
He's performed activism. He's on a social media issue right now,
but he has performed activism and has performed done his
due diligence in the community, and that's facts in his
public records and you go look it up. You know

(01:51:35):
what I'm saying. So, while I don't agree with everything
he says, and I'm definitely not defending him, but in
this particular case, he's unearthing a whole lot of things
that nobody's really talking about and needs to be talked
about that's directly rooted to this young man's innocent, you know,

(01:52:04):
or that could potentially help him be found in the
sin because this is definitely a smear campaign. I'm with
him on this that instance he said in this video,
it's a smear campaign against Carmelo Anthony and the Anthony family.
They're trying to, you know, paint him out as a
thug and trying to paint his family out as trying

(01:52:29):
to manipulate the situation to garner money. So you know,
somebody got to say something. He's the somebody saying something.
Out of all the people out there within our community,
He's the one saying something. So I don't know, I

(01:52:52):
want to see I want to see all the rappers
out there to dedicate their social media platforms to taking
pop shots at each other, you know, the ones that
like to get on the Instagram and got go hard
on the paint on each other. I want like all

(01:53:14):
the you know, the fifty cents. I want all the
who else you're doing it, all the academics, the DJ academics,
all the all the Jim Joneses out there, to put

(01:53:39):
their paper up and dig up all the dirt y'all
can and expose it on the internet about the Carmelo
Anthony situation, all the secrets, all the you know, all
the people involved, dirty little secrets, you know, exposed that

(01:54:00):
instead of exposing your brother and your sister over you know,
rap over you know what I'm saying, taking pop taking
cheap shots at each other in the rap game. Who
else is real good at the Cameron Cameron's He's he's
like he's real cool, He's like real crucial with that,

(01:54:23):
like digging up dirt on people, Like all the rappers
is good at digging up dirt on people and exposing people.
I want you all to pull y'all's resources and dig
up and expose all the dirt on all these politicians
that got something to do with the Carmelo Anthony Cakes

(01:54:44):
with Camelo Anthony Trout. Dig up all the dirt, y'all can,
because all of them got something to hide, and all
of them got something a stake in something a stake
in this case, dig up all the dirt you can
on the met Calves the dad, you know his past,

(01:55:05):
put all that on blast until this young man to
set free. Apply all that pressure, Like take y'all's money
and apply all the pressure on this situation instead of
like just just just get social media break a break
one week, you know, going that other rappers, y'all can

(01:55:27):
go viral off of this. Y'all can go viral off
of this and like be the big heroes and you
know what I'm saying, and then get some money too,
and then get some money too, because this is a big, big,
big case. So use all y'all's money and power and
influence and blow the lid off that. I'm also challenging

(01:55:53):
DJ Glad Glad of Blad TV, so he's trying to
get back in good graces with black people. Blow the
lid off of So, since you want to prize yourself
in single handedly solving the murder of Tupac Sha Cord
blow the lid off of Carmelo Anthony, Like do a

(01:56:13):
part one through ten series interviewing all the people's involved,
see if you can trip up some officials, like the
way you trip up the rappers. But yeah, that's just

(01:56:36):
wishful thinking. But like like I said, like, well, however
you feel about Charleston White in this instance, he's using
his social media presence for something positive. Now what he's
getting out of it behind the scenes, I don't know.
That's that's still yet to be seen. But you know,

(01:57:01):
it's gonna take everybody, the whole tribe, everybody in the
black community to do their part and you know, bring
whatever information they have to the light about this particular
situation to ensure this young man doesn't spend the rest

(01:57:22):
of his life in jail or unlive over this incident,
over this incident, because they you know, they already put
the death penalty on the table. It happened like in
the South, So they put the death penalty on the
table immediately, you know what I'm saying. It wasn't even

(01:57:43):
the ink hadn't even dried yet. They put the death
penalty on the table immediately. So like hip hop community

(01:58:05):
stand up, whoever got bread for real, whoever likes getting
petty for real, get petty. Put all y'all's bread up,
and get petty with their whole county where that happened,
Dig up all the dirt on whoever you know it's
holding up the process, applied pressure to all the people

(01:58:28):
surrounding that incidence. I'm putting out the challenge to all rappers,
all people who got money, all people that like getting
on the internet, being petty, exposing pictures and whatever you know,
put y'all's power and influence to good use and expose

(01:58:48):
all the evil surrounding this situation so this young man
could come free. Expose all the corruption and surrounding this
because all they all got some dirty little secrets. So

(01:59:14):
that's it. That's where I'm gonna land my plane. To
