The Narrative podcast, the narrative.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
Whateverisod at a time.

Speaker 4 (01:35):
Peace, space, space, Family, You're not tapped into another edition
of the Mighty Mighty Narrative podcast.

Speaker 6 (01:42):
And I am your host, Hawes Allen. Narrative Podcast is
the home of original people and original people culture. The
Narrative podcast provides positive frames of reference about original people
and original people culture.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
Welcome to the Narrative Podcast. I am your host, Halls
Allen and you.

Speaker 6 (02:00):
I know I messed up on the intro, but hey,
what can we say? How is everybody doing on this
terrific Tuuesday? Great great oup? But anyway, Welcome to the

(02:20):
NEARK podcast. Got a good show for you today, got
a good show for you every single day that I
broadcast an episode of the NERK podcast. For those who
do not know, the NERK podcast is an all black
content platform. Speak about all things black and give you

(02:41):
a brief overview of the Narrak podcast. There the podcast

(03:02):
highlights the beauty and strength and resilience of the black community,
covering topics sys as black love, empowerment, unity, and progression.
The podcast dives deep into discussions about black health, economic wealth, innovation,
and the positive reinforcement of black voices.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
Tune in the weekdays and weekends to hear uplifting news
and focus on the achievements of black individuals across the globe.

Speaker 6 (03:28):
So that's pretty much the tip of the iceberg far
as the type of content I'm delivering on this platform.
So basically, how I present my content, I break it
down to sections.

Speaker 4 (03:45):
These sections has speaking points.

Speaker 6 (03:47):
I time these section to make the listening experience more
digestible and overall more efficient for the listener, which is
you all tuning in right now.

Speaker 4 (04:03):
So how I typically get things started off.

Speaker 6 (04:05):
Is I do a comparison contrast of my two format styles,
my weekday format style presentation style and then my weekend
format presentation style.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
And I do that just to basically.

Speaker 6 (04:24):
Give you an example of how the two formats differ
from each other. And so it's the same pretty much.
The content matters, just more sections on the weekend. Then
after my comparison contrast portion of the narrative podcast, then

(04:52):
I do a promotional portion which is basically like a
crowdfunding portion of the narrative podcast, basically learning you to
all my.

Speaker 4 (05:04):
You know, projects that.

Speaker 6 (05:11):
Generate revenue for the podcast, So promoting those and you know,
by promoting them, hopefully you will participate and patronize those
so I can build revenue to keep the podcast going.
This podcast platform comes with a monthly maintenance feed, and

(05:32):
so these projects help keep it going. And ultimately the
ultimate goal is expanded and you know, make.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
That leap from audio to video.

Speaker 6 (05:47):
Then after I'm done with my promotional portion of the
Narrator podcast, then I dive into the broad overview of
the narrat podcast. Broad overview of the Nerork podcast is
just to equip you with all the necessary information that
you need to know as a listener when engaging my platform,

(06:09):
just to make it more convenient for you as a listener.
Let you know all the nuances of the platform, and
you know.

Speaker 4 (06:21):
Just what makes me unique in this space, and.

Speaker 6 (06:26):
How to be able to better process and digest what
I'm saying on here and give you some insight into
the direction I'm taking it and you make, you know,
make more well informed choices as a listener to you
know how you're going to engage the platform and how
you're going.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
To apply it and what I'm saying in real time,
and then.

Speaker 6 (06:51):
You know, after the broad overview of the nearra podcast,
of course, dive into the actual content itself.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
So let's get things kicked.

Speaker 6 (07:03):
Off with the comparison contrast of the platform. So, like
I said, I broadcast a couple of times. I broadcast
during the weekdays and weekends, up to to three times
a weekday. The reason why I'll just do it all
weekday long is because you know, I broadcast you know,

(07:30):
positive news articles during the weekday, and you know, sometimes
I just gotta let my feed refresh, so I'm not
just sharing the same news over and over again, the
same articles over and over again. So that's why it's
just sometimes not all every single day during the weekday,

(07:52):
but yeah, and then on the weekends of course, so
let's get uh, let's get into it. So my positive weekday,
my positive part of me, my weekday format of.

Speaker 4 (08:15):
The Narrative Podcast consists of positive news articles in this
section I call my speaking point section. Now, the overall general.

Speaker 6 (08:30):
Purpose of the Narrative podcast to share positive frames of
reference about our people and our culture. As a matter
of fact, that's the slogan of the Narrative podcast. Narrative Podcast,
Changing the Narrative one episode at the time by destroying
negative stereotypes about original people and original people culture. How

(08:53):
do we destroy the negative stereotypes about our people and
our culture by providing positive frames of reference about our
people culture. So that's the overall mission statement, and you know,
the focal point of the Narrative podcast to share positive
frames of reference about our people and our culture. And
the positive frame of reference about our people and our

(09:14):
culture that I focus on during the week days, as
I said, is positive news articles. And the reason why
I focus on delivering positive news articles during the weekday
is because all weekday long, we're constantly being bombarded with
negative news about our people and our culture across all

(09:35):
media platforms. So not just relegated to the news in
general per se, but you know, all media platforms. This
is like books, literature, movies, television shows, advertisements, periodicals, magazines

(09:55):
just negatively depicting our people's images and likeness.

Speaker 4 (10:02):
And the long term effect on that.

Speaker 6 (10:07):
On our people is it gets embedded into our psyches
and then on a subconscious level, we tend to act
out these negative images. They keep on keep on getting
bombarded with, you know, and it's definitely psychological warfare at

(10:36):
its finest. You know, they're corrupting our minds, you know,
with this well timed imagery, you know, just psychologically suggesting Ah,
you know, these negative stigmas and stereotypes that they've created

(11:00):
about our people and our culture, just quietly getting us
to embrace it and normalize it and give.

Speaker 4 (11:06):
It a voice.

Speaker 6 (11:09):
That's just you know, long term effect it has on us,
keeping us stagnant, preventing us from one wanting to you know,
ascend to greatness, and you know, also amplifying trauma, projecting

(11:30):
trauma and you know, inflicting it upon us, you know,
that's what it does. So they've pretty much weaponized the.

Speaker 4 (11:39):
Media against our people.

Speaker 6 (11:42):
And the effect of that on people outside of our culture,
what it does to them is it gives them a
false sense of who we are as a people, causing
them to be apprehensive upon meeting somebody you know, from
our community, how they you know, perceive us, how they

(12:08):
interact with us, how they engage us and react to us,
you know, and it just really projects the ominous image
of fear. Two people outside of our culture. They so
they don't want to be around us, They don't want
to interact with us, because the media keeps on projecting

(12:30):
you know, hostility, violence, and degeneracy.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
As it correlates, it relates to our.

Speaker 6 (12:38):
People and our culture, and people want to, you know,
of course, disassociate with us on all fronts, which is
a dangerous thing.

Speaker 4 (12:48):
Socially and economically, of course.

Speaker 6 (12:51):
So you know, that's how they're weaponizing the media against us,
and that's why I provide the positive frames of reference
during the weekday to undo this psychological programming and conditioning,
and then also to demonstrate the positive do things actually
do happen.

Speaker 4 (13:07):
Within our community.

Speaker 6 (13:09):
Then after that, you know, I deliver a section called
my speaking point section.

Speaker 4 (13:15):
I'm a podcaster.

Speaker 6 (13:17):
All podcasters pretty much talk about all relevant topics, all
up to date news and whatever is happening in the
news and on the internet. I'm no different. I think
the only difference between them and the is you know,
I unpack whatever's going on in the world from our perspective,

(13:38):
from the black perspective.

Speaker 4 (13:41):
And the reason why I do that, you know, that's my.

Speaker 6 (13:43):
Effort to control the narrative because the media, you know,
it's always showing us acting out of characters, so they
go out of their way to have us looking and
sound and crazy. So this is me just bringing it
back into focus and you know, really delivering it home

(14:11):
from our perspective. As a matter of fact, pretty much
all my speaking points on this platform, every time I'm
talking about anything, it has a centralized, you know point.
I center everything around, all my content around the bigger
picture as concerns and relates to my people and my culture,

(14:33):
and pretty much anything negative happening within our.

Speaker 4 (14:37):
Community usually can be traced back to the.

Speaker 6 (14:42):
Bigger picture, which is systemic oppression and psychological programming and
conditioning and it's adverse effects that it has on our people.
So that's how I center and focus everything around, you know,
those particular things as a relate our people in our culture,
because you got to know, really understand who we truly are.

Speaker 4 (15:05):
We're kings and.

Speaker 6 (15:06):
Queens, guys and goddesses of the universe, and if we're
ever acting out of sorts and anything less than that,
it's only because we've been corrupted into taking on the
characteristics of the people that are oppressing as who are
by nature aggressive and hostile. But yet they try to

(15:27):
weaponize the media to make us appear. You know, that's
within our nature, and it's not.

Speaker 4 (15:34):
You know, So while we.

Speaker 6 (15:36):
Do, as full grown adults, need to take a full
accountability for any and all decisions that we make in life,
we can never not, ever as a people, address the
elephant in the room, you know, when we're you know,
especially when we're taken into account our circumstances is you know,

(16:01):
all over all over the world, anywhere our people are located.
You know, those two big things are our biggest hindrances
and our biggest obstacles we have to get over.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
And they were put there by people that didn't look
like this. So you know, just what did you be
very clear on that?

Speaker 6 (16:23):
That's my weekday format. Now my weekend format different slightly.
First and foremost, it has more sections. I think it
has about a total five. Of of course, I'm never
going to go over all five sections, you know, because
another goal on my platform is to keep everything time efficient.

(16:49):
I never want to see one hour per broadcast, and
if I ever do, you'll never be able to tell
by listening. Because I wanted to keep everything fluid, moving
fluid and not being stagnant with my content. I want
to captivate the listening audience, not boyd in to sleep.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
So I want to.

Speaker 6 (17:08):
Make everything informative and entertaining at the same time, so
you know, I can't keep your attention if I'm just
droning on mindlessly. This is kind of why I developed
the format style to begin with, you know, so I
get got everything really concise, have speaking points, and it's

(17:32):
really easy to hear when I'm transitioning into a new topic,
and it allows me to cover several topics.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
You know.

Speaker 6 (17:47):
But anyway, so my weekend formats style how a slightly
different difference from my weekday for mass style. My positive
frame of reference that I focus on during the weekends,
it's been ownership and not chrepreneurialism. Now, before I get
into that, I kind of give you got to give
you a.

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Background story of the narrative podcast to begin with.

Speaker 6 (18:11):
So first of all, when I started doing this, I
only used to broadcast on the weekdays, so there was
no her weekend part of me. So there was no
weekday format to begin with. Because when I first started it,
you know, doing this, this was at the time of
like the pandemic.

Speaker 4 (18:32):
We were being exposed as.

Speaker 6 (18:34):
A people, just the negative news period. Who was living here,
you know, in the United States? Had a you know,
during the time of civil unrest for the United States
due to all the systemic things that were happening that
caused you know, George Floyd's untimely demise as well as

(18:57):
Breonna Taylor and I'm Aubury. I think Aubury kind of
triggered it in my opinion, But it was that it
was c. Nineteen.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
It was a whole lot of things.

Speaker 6 (19:12):
But we're more you know, for lack of a better world,
where's the world went?

Speaker 4 (19:21):
The hell in the handbasket?

Speaker 6 (19:23):
It was just you know, negativity on all fronts, just period,
but specifically as it relates in concerns to our community.
So I wanted to do something that kind of you know,
changed that overall perception. So that's why I started doing
this podcast. I think a lot of people who were

(19:46):
creating content in that time, you know, we're just doing
it out of boredom because we were like, you know,
we're locked up. Most people started podcast or if they
weren't doing podcasts, there was doing tiktoks. YouTube wasn't really
youtubing like on the YouTube.

Speaker 4 (20:05):
Content creators they were, you know, I think.

Speaker 6 (20:09):
TikTok was an emerging technology and everybody seemed to be
going to the TikTok space on the visual side of it,
but on the audio side of it, everybody was doing
like podcasts. So when everything went back to air quotes normal,
everybody was creating content out of boredom had stopped. But

(20:32):
everybody who were content creators really just kept on creating
content afterwards.

Speaker 4 (20:41):
And you know that was me.

Speaker 6 (20:43):
Now, I wasn't a content creator before it, but I
kept on, and like when I was doing it, I
didn't have any clue what I was doing. I decided
to give it a focus on our people and our culture.
My first couple episodes, I was just talking in general,
just vincing. Then I refined it, you know, center everything

(21:07):
about our people and our culture.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
So my first several.

Speaker 6 (21:12):
You know, broadcasts were just you know, promoting black owned
businesses and talking about our social woes. But it was
just it took a long time. So streamlined it, you know,
gave it a centralized speaking point, streamlined again, broke it
down the sections, so it became, you know, the entity

(21:35):
it is now. And then Weekdays came later. This podcast
that I'm recording on had a platform, her had a
live feature, and I would go live during the weekdays
just when how we hear like you know, news updates
to react to and things of that nature. You know,

(22:00):
that's how my Weekdays took on shape. But then they
removed the live feature, but I kept on. You know,
weekdays was popular, became increasingly more popular, you know, as.

Speaker 4 (22:14):
My stats was showing me.

Speaker 6 (22:16):
So I just decided to keep on doing the week
days despite them removing via live feature. But that's pretty
much how my two four mat styles came to be.
So my weekend format my positive frame of reference that

(22:38):
I focus on this business ownership and entrepreneurialism. The reason
why I focus on that highly so much is because
you know, that positive frame of reference is not readily
available to us, and it's done intentionally because the media
doesn't want us to have positive frame of reference in

(23:02):
which to pull from. The reason why they don't want
us to have positive frames of reference to draw from
is because.

Speaker 4 (23:08):
They never want us to, you know, reclaim the mantle
of greatness.

Speaker 6 (23:16):
You know, there's never not been a time our people
had their own you know, we were always affluent and
always abundance.

Speaker 4 (23:28):
Living in a life in abundance.

Speaker 6 (23:32):
The most you know, this darkest time of our existence
was a time when our people was enslaved, especially those
of us living here in the United States, when slavery
was going on. But after that, you know, we've always
not had our own We always you know, had our
own resources, had our own infrastructure.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
And so.

Speaker 6 (24:00):
They never want to show us, you know, when we're
doing well in life. They always want to show us,
you know, from a negative space, in disarray and complete disenfranchisement,

(24:22):
just in the state of deprivity.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
Again psychological programming and conditioning.

Speaker 6 (24:30):
They don't ever want to show people great people from
our community accomplishing greatness. So that's a part of the programming.
That's why we're not shown you know, business owners and
entrepreneurs on a regular basis. And that's why I provide

(24:52):
that positive frame of reference on the weekends, is.

Speaker 4 (24:58):
Just to get a glimpse into.

Speaker 6 (25:00):
That world and you know, prove, you know, we have
that level of greatness within our community. We have business owners,
we have entrepreneurs, and we and those business owners and
entrepreneurs not only you know, generate wealth for themselves and
their family and you know, all those close to them,

(25:24):
but provide for the entire communities. Well, So that's what
I'm doing in that space, and I'm also promoting black
owned businesses of course, you know, revealing businesses to go support.

Speaker 4 (25:41):
But that's what.

Speaker 6 (25:42):
The what I focus on during the weekends is business
ownership and entrepreneurialism. And I call that section my high
light section because I'm highlighting, you know, the professional journey
of a business owner or an entrepreneur. So I'm providing

(26:05):
you a brief bio of the finer points of their
life which led up to them owning their own business
and becoming an entrepreneur. The type of information I include
in that session is, you know, just relevant things that
you would need to know about a business, you know,

(26:27):
or the the person that runs a business. So it's
basically like you know, a wiki. You know, I'm including
their hometown where they grew up, any and all education
and life experiences that play the role to them becoming
a business owner or an entrepreneur, any education or vocational

(26:54):
training that had something to do with you know, putting
them on their path to become a business owner an entrepreneur,
and things of that nature. Then also specific details about
their product itself, you know, whatever they're selling, and you

(27:22):
know their business philosophy, and you know specific details about
their product. You know what the system apart from the competition,
what they're selling. You know, for example, like if it's
an online business, I include all the specific details you
would need to know when coming to the site. You

(27:44):
know how they're going to display the product, what's the
best selling.

Speaker 4 (27:50):
Product in their mind.

Speaker 6 (27:52):
And you know what system apart from the competition, and
you know things of that nature. Or you know, if
they have brick and mortar location, I include things like,
you know, driving instructions, you know how to get to
their place of business, the maximum occupancy of the building,

(28:16):
hours of operation, the best times to go according to whatever.

Speaker 4 (28:26):
Can you rent the facility? You know, do they do catering,
and just things of that nature.

Speaker 6 (28:34):
Anything you would need to know about patronizing a big
brick and mortar So that's pretty much the highlight section
my selection process that I use to highlight the businesses
in the highlight section.

Speaker 4 (28:48):
Goals has followed. They must be black owned from the
top to the bottom. Of course, they must hire their
own and do some type of you know, commun new outreach.

Speaker 6 (29:00):
They either have to pay into a nonprofit organization, have
their own nonprofit organization or do something positive then impacts
the community in a positive way. And then, last but
not least, they must coincide with my nationally recognized day
or month. So whatever the national day or month is,

(29:23):
the business must coincide with that. Their product that they're
manufacturing must coincide with the nationally recognized day or month.

Speaker 4 (29:34):
Just whatever I'm feeling like, you know, covering that they
or a month.

Speaker 6 (29:40):
And that's pretty much the breakdown of the narrative podcast highlight.

Speaker 4 (29:46):
Section.

Speaker 6 (29:47):
The next section I have that's different from my weekday
section is a section called the spotlight section.

Speaker 4 (29:55):
What I'm doing in that section is.

Speaker 6 (29:57):
I'm promoting positively enforcement, you know, and the reason I
feel it necessary to promote positive reinforcement is because you know,
our people, we never get received positive reinforcement in anything
we do. As I said, you know, media tries to

(30:20):
destroy us through propaganda.

Speaker 4 (30:23):
So you know, nothing great is ever played up.

Speaker 6 (30:28):
You know, we're always being shown at our worst, and
especially online. Not only we're all, we're always you know,
the negative things happening within our community are always being
played up. You know, these digital platforms have been weaponized

(30:49):
against us to create havoc and controversy amongst us. You know,
we're always being pitted against each other on any you
know platform, were easily manipulated into you know, destroying each other,

(31:10):
going back and forth on the internet. Ah, you know,
roasting each other and you know our our internet.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Beefs kind of turn real.

Speaker 6 (31:23):
It usually ends in like you know, a challenge to
you know, meet up and fight or go beyond fighting
in many cases, something it has lived in so many
of us, you know, being unlive, especially just for example,
in the like when World Star Hip Hop Davy. You know,

(31:50):
it was always young young people going back and forth.
We started on something on instance or Facebook or whatever
social media platform.

Speaker 4 (32:04):
And then you know.

Speaker 6 (32:08):
It was screenshots of you know, the altercation. You know
how it started was led up to the actual physical confrontation,
and the physical confrontation ended up you know, going taking
a darker turn. You know, one of the people in

(32:29):
the confrontation that you know started online ended up being unlives.

Speaker 4 (32:36):
Like so many examples, I think.

Speaker 6 (32:38):
The most famous one was the shar Kena win where
the young lady got beat to death do to altercation
that happened on the internet that got you know, you know, ah, I'm.

Speaker 4 (33:00):
Trying such a where.

Speaker 6 (33:03):
They got just taking way out of proportion, like a
whole just a misunderstanding got taken way out of proportion
and it ended up, you.

Speaker 4 (33:12):
Know, resulting in the loss of her life.

Speaker 6 (33:15):
And this also happens within the hip hop community as well.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
So many.

Speaker 6 (33:21):
You know, artists have lost their lives and their careers
and their lives period over like a simple misunderstanding of
back and forth, you know, getting way out of controls.
So you know, we need to be using our digital

(33:43):
platforms for you know, to network and build rather than
destroy each other. We need to be uplifting and edifying,
you know with this new technology and networking and building
things too, you know, not just help ourselves and dis generations,
but you know, create a dynasty that all future generations

(34:10):
can benefit from, you know, with these.

Speaker 4 (34:13):
With this digital tool. But instead, you.

Speaker 6 (34:17):
Know, we're destroying ourselves with It's like you know, we're
running with sharp scissors with the internet. So you know,
that's why I provide, you know, that's positive frame of

(34:37):
reference about positive reinforcement. I call that section my spot
light section, and it's similar to the highlight section basically
on spotlighting a person from our community who is impacting
our community in a positive way through their actions or deeds,

(35:01):
you know, or I guess theded is action or you know,
the way they utilize their digital platforms in a positive way.
You know, things that help our community, things that improve
our overall image of our people in our culture. You know,

(35:22):
just inspiring greatness within our people. That's what I spotlight
people are spotlight, you know, doing the work.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
So you know, that's what the spotlight section is all about.

Speaker 6 (35:36):
And again it's basically like a wiki page of just
including where they were born, highlight or a spotlighting you know,
the you know, the greatest things of their lives that
make them great and how they positively impact.

Speaker 4 (35:55):
Our community any and all.

Speaker 6 (35:57):
You know, programs that they've created to help our community.

Speaker 4 (36:01):
If they have their own nonprofit.

Speaker 6 (36:03):
Organization, what it does, their mission statement is when they
found it, and you know, any type of initiative that
they started, or you know, they're more on the image
side of it. You know, how their image, how their
image helps us as a people, you know, flourish.

Speaker 4 (36:27):
So that's what the spotlight section is all about. And
then I ended on a positive note, super positive note.
When a section I call my wise Word of Today
and the wise Word of the Day is just a

(36:49):
philosophical thoughts, the Jim and Juel, the Pearl of Wisdom.
It just promote critical thinking by he open as ponder
the simple complexities of this thing we call life. And
that's pretty much my weekend format style of the Narrative Podcast.

Speaker 6 (37:12):
And now we're going to go on to the promotional
portion of this program by promoting, you know, the program itself.
So the Narrative Podcast is available on pretty much any

(37:33):
audio broadcasting site you can think about. It's pardon me,

(37:54):
It's available on any audio podcast platform you can name.
So the support it, all you gotta do is go
to your favorite audio podcasting site and listen to Me Nearror,
the podcast hosted by me Hawsey Allen. And then after
you're done listening to it, there should be a feature

(38:15):
on the audio podcasting sites, a download feature. It's usually
a cloud shaped icon with an arrow, pointy down look
for that to download the episode and after the episode
downloaded from the audio podcasting site, then click to share,
but and share upload the episode to any social media

(38:40):
platform that you enjoy sharing your uploading contents. And that's
how you support the narrative podcast and following me from
an all audio podcasting platform. Now, when you're listening to
the narrative podcast Just One Disclaine, and make sure you're

(39:01):
listening to The Way hosted by me Hawsey Allen, to
make sure you're supporting this platform because this platform, you know,
like I said, it's all black content platform. So if
you want to listen to, you know, all things Black,
and make sure you're listening to the Narrative podcast hosted

(39:21):
by me Hawsey Allen. And then the next way is
to support the platform is to follow me on social media.
And the site you will want to be following me
on is X formally Twitter. And the reason why you
want to follow me on X formally Twitter is because

(39:43):
the this platform that I'm recording these episodes on or
since to my ex account, which means every single time
I'm done recording an episode of the Narrative podcast automatically
uploads two X formally Twitter, so upon that you know

(40:06):
you'd always want to And the reason why you want
to follow me on or X formerly Twitter is because,
like you know, UP just automatically uploads there. So therefore,
by following me there, you'll be automatically up in form

(40:27):
every time a brand new episode of the Narrative podcast debuts.
So every time a brand new episode debuts, you should
get your alerts notifying you that you know new episodes
ready to listen to. So follow me on X formally Twitter.
My ex profile name is Hawsey Allen. Of course I

(40:48):
stay good at Hawsey Allen and be specific all lowercase
in those spaces, and then verify that you have the
correct X page.

Speaker 4 (40:56):
And your verification should be.

Speaker 6 (41:00):
You should see a book pin to the top of
the page and black book pens at the top of
the page.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
And the title on that black book pen.

Speaker 6 (41:09):
To the top of my page is you should say
the black card on it. That would be your confirmation
that you're on the correct X page and it's written
by me. But I'll be promoting that a little bit later,

(41:29):
but right now focusing on the Narrative podcast on X.
So the reason why you need to confirm us on
you're on the correct page as people be cloning pages.
So that's your confirmation you're on the correct X page.
After you've confirmed you're on the correct X page, what

(41:52):
I then need you to do. You should see a
link to the Narrative Podcast posted on there. Click on
the base link of the Narrat podcast to reveal the
podcast episode. Once it's revealed, to play it, and you
should see my podcast logo after you click the link,

(42:14):
which is just the silhouete of a microphone that says
near the podcast on it, play that episode.

Speaker 4 (42:19):
You don't have to play all the way through.

Speaker 6 (42:21):
And just let it play for a couple of seconds,
and then hit the light button located at the top
of the podcast logo. And then after you click that
light look and wait for the podcast logo to refresh, and.

Speaker 4 (42:42):
Then the light button.

Speaker 6 (42:43):
By the ways, and they shape the heart to click
on the heart shaped light button located at the top
of the podcast logo. Pard doing so, the episode should
expand again, revealing the podcast logo again, he said, this
time all right, you know when it expands the second time,

(43:05):
you should see the light.

Speaker 4 (43:06):
Button again and to be located at the bottom of
the podcast logo. Click on that.

Speaker 6 (43:14):
And by the way, the more things you do, the
more page clicks and generates. The more page clicks it generates,
the more revenue generates. The more revenue generates, the better
the podcast experience will.

Speaker 4 (43:30):
Be for you. So yeah, do all those things. So
after you click the light button a second.

Speaker 6 (43:39):
Time, go to the comic box and leave a comment
in the comment box. After you left the comment in
the comic box, when you're commenting, back up a bit,

(44:00):
getting a little hit of myself.

Speaker 4 (44:01):
When your comment.

Speaker 6 (44:03):
Please please, it's imperative that you comment. Leave a comment because,
like I said, again, all engage with counts. So you know,
leave a comment in the comment box. Type something you know,
can't think of any feedback to give me.

Speaker 4 (44:18):
Put me moji if you're from a different country, put
your flag a different state. Put your state flag in there.

Speaker 6 (44:26):
I don't know, a character, a keyboard character, something, Just
put something.

Speaker 4 (44:33):
In the comment box.

Speaker 6 (44:35):
You can literally type the word something if you want
to be a smart aublet, but put something in the
comment box.

Speaker 1 (44:46):
And then.

Speaker 4 (44:50):
So then that be blefted your comment in the comment box.
What I then need you to do is to.

Speaker 6 (45:03):
Again click the down or yeah, the download button, and
the download just to reiterate button should be a cloud
shaped icon with an arrow pointing down. The arrow pointing
down is to symbolize the action of downloading. And then
so after you downloaded the episode, what I then need

(45:24):
you to do is click the share button share upload
that episode of the Narrative Podcast too, you know, whatever
social media platform you enjoy sharing or uploading content too,
And that's how you support the Narrative Podcast from following
me from uh ex formally Twitter, and then you can

(45:54):
support the another the podcast one more way on YouTube
and I'm Halsey Allen on YouTube, So go to my
YouTube page and then go into my videos.

Speaker 4 (46:07):
You should be able to access the Narra the Podcast
episodes uploaded into my videos easily without following me on
YouTube because they're shared publicly and they're all in chronological order,
debuting all the way back from the very first time
that I uploaded an episode up the Narra the podcast,

(46:31):
and these episodes are old episodes up the nar the
Podcast because this platform is no longer six to YouTube.
So like remember how I said the uh.

Speaker 6 (46:42):
My ex account is sent to this platform, Well, YouTube
is no longer sent to this platform, so like you know,
episodes just don't automatically upload to it anymore. And the
reason for that is because you know, YouTube is constantly

(47:03):
updating their software and policies and.

Speaker 4 (47:09):
Community guidelines and all that.

Speaker 6 (47:12):
So you know, this platform that I'm recording on didn't
update their uh you know, software to make it compatible.

Speaker 4 (47:21):
With the YouTube you.

Speaker 6 (47:23):
Know, algorithm or whatever you know. I don't know, but
it wasn't compatible with YouTube anymore. That it wouldn't make
the modify it to make it compatible with YouTube anymore.
So they just decided to drop YouTube as a place
that you can distribute content. And upon them doing that,

(47:51):
you know, I can no longer upload brand new episodes
to YouTube more.

Speaker 4 (48:00):
Of the Narrative podcast.

Speaker 6 (48:04):
However, as I said, They're YouTube didn't taken down the
episodes that were already uploaded to it, so they still
exist on YouTube and you can go support those older
episodes of the near of the podcast and it will
still help the platform.

Speaker 4 (48:22):
You know, all engaging on the internet accounts anywhere you
see the Narrative podcast, you know, if you engage it,
it will count in the analytical process. So you know,

(48:42):
like comment and share on YouTube all the Narrative Podcast
episodes that are posted on YouTube on my channel, So
go to my YouTube channel and go to my videos
and my YouTube channel again it's just Halsey Allen. It's
my viewer page and be able to access those episodes

(49:03):
you know, of the narrative podcast that are on YouTube.
And again with the comments, just put something in the
comment box. You don't have to, you know, put an essay.

Speaker 6 (49:24):
Just put something in the comment box, appreciate it, and
that's it.

Speaker 4 (49:32):
That's how you support the narrative podcast. When the following me.

Speaker 6 (49:37):
From YouTube, and which brings me to the next thing
I'd like to promote is a book of poetry that

(49:59):
I've written.

Speaker 4 (50:01):
It's a thirty page book of poetry and it's.

Speaker 6 (50:04):
Called The Black Card. And what the book is about
is just the Black experience. Thirty poems that chronicle in
detail everything we go through as a people, you know,
positive and negative.

Speaker 4 (50:25):
So go check it out. You will love it.

Speaker 6 (50:29):
You know, if you're a mellenated man or a mellenated woman,
you'll be able to relate to all the poems posted
or written in that book.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
I said, post written in that book. You know it's real.

Speaker 6 (50:47):
It's just the real work where the ages you know,
really creative and cleverly done, if I do say so myself.
So go check it out. And the name of the
book again is called The Black Card. It's available on

(51:08):
a platform called Poetizer, and then you purchase it by
going to poetizer dot com and they have a virtual
online bookstore, So go to their virtual online bookstore and
purchase my book of poetry.

Speaker 4 (51:23):
Titled The Black Card.

Speaker 6 (51:26):
And if you're unfamiliar with Poetizer, Poetizer is a social
media platform for people that like writing, particularly poetry, and
it's implied in the title Poetizer.

Speaker 4 (51:43):
It's a social media.

Speaker 6 (51:44):
Platform so to help writers and writers are generally introverted people,
so that's kind of why that space exists. You know,
everything any social media platform has an offer like far
as engagement, how they engage each other.

Speaker 4 (52:04):
You can make friends on there, you can.

Speaker 6 (52:08):
You know, message each other in box each other right
on each other's walls.

Speaker 4 (52:14):
They also have.

Speaker 6 (52:16):
Games, contests, daily writing prompts for people to write poetry.
It's all around good time. But their most important feature
that they have is built in self publishing software. So
the members of the social media site have the ability,

(52:41):
using the site self publishing software to rights publish, market,
and sell a book that they have produced on that site.
And that's why they have a virtual online bookstore, and
all the books in that bookstore are books of work
that the people on that social media site have written.

(53:07):
So you know, it's a really good deal. You can
write a book for well under one thousand dollars. That's
perfect for a novice, someone who's never written a book
to do it.

Speaker 4 (53:18):
You know, they're way cheaper.

Speaker 6 (53:21):
And offer the exact same quality as Amazon Books and
Kindle and all those other professional self publishing sites you know,
and they're constantly you know, including coorporating features. So you know,

(53:41):
they're working on a way you'll be able to market
your book, a way you'll be able to get you know,
not free advertiser, but they'll advertise it for you.

Speaker 4 (53:51):
That's what they're working on. So they're working on ways
to constantly improve the site. They're adding you know, illustration
you can choose, like hardback, paperback.

Speaker 6 (54:03):
They're working on stuff, you know. Also they're working on
the audio, you know, books on audio.

Speaker 4 (54:10):
They're working on that. But you know, go check it out.
It's called The Black Card.

Speaker 6 (54:29):
It's on poetizer dot com and it's written by me
Hawsey Allen. And just to reiterate, it's a thirty page
book of poetry about the.

Speaker 4 (54:37):
Black experience in its entirety. So just to give you
a more.

Speaker 6 (54:47):
Intuitive, in depth dive into the book, just I'm gonna
plug it with the advertisement for it. So Black Card
is more than just poetry. It's a poetic manifesto, a
lyrical tribute to the regality, resilience, and richness of the

(55:08):
black experience with Bowl versus because deep in imagery that sores,
the Black Card reclaims dignity, the man's respect, and honors
the legacy of the people who have turned struggle into strength,
culture into power.

Speaker 4 (55:21):
More than just poetry, this is a declaration.

Speaker 6 (55:24):
Black is royal, Black is unstoppable, Black is everything. Head

Speaker 4 (55:38):

life changer. And the very last.

Speaker 6 (55:50):
Thing I like to promote in the promotional portion of
the Narrative podcast promotional section is Personal Poetry blog on
blogger dot com. So before I entered the podcasting space,
you know, I was writing poetry. I do consider myself

(56:13):
a poet. I'm constantly writing poetry, constantly performing spoken word
art or attending poetry functions. You know, that's just my thing. Like,
that's what I do outside of this and this poetry

(56:40):
blog is my main outlet in which I use to
express myself. So go check it out on blogger dot
com at w W dot mister Haws's blogs dot com.
The name of my poetry blog is Haws's Poetry Owner.
I'm Hawsey. I write poetry makes sense, So the types

(57:06):
of poems that you will encounter upon going to that
site is just like, you know, relatable, down to earth poetry.

Speaker 4 (57:15):
Anybody from any walk of life.

Speaker 6 (57:17):
Could read one of my poems and relate to, you know,
first the first few lines or find a poem that
they can relate to in its entirety.

Speaker 4 (57:27):
So anything you're currently experiencing.

Speaker 6 (57:31):
Or have experienced in life at some point in the
time of your life, you should find a poem on
there to you know, relate to that experience. You know,
I do have several poems posted on there that are
specifically tailored to our.

Speaker 4 (57:51):
Community, but.

Speaker 6 (57:54):
It's still pretty much, I would say, more the general
avid everyday person can relate to, so, black, white, Asian, whatever.

Speaker 4 (58:05):
If you just like to.

Speaker 6 (58:06):
Read, you know, you will definitely enjoy the poems posting
on ours as Poetry Corner blog. Also, another good thing
or a cool thing about it is, you know, all
those poems are one hundred and ten organic, meaning spontaneously written.

(58:30):
You know, I didn't follow the traditional steps of writing.
I didn't like draft and edit all that. I just
really just the first thought that pop up into my
mind is what God posted. You know, I don't even
feel like me myself, I personally was responsible for writing them.

Speaker 4 (58:53):
And because as an artist.

Speaker 6 (58:57):
I can say I can't relate any of the poems
posted on there, even the ones that come from a
private chapter of my life or things about you know.

Speaker 4 (59:11):
My community.

Speaker 6 (59:14):
I think they just organically took on a life of
their own, and that's kind of how my gift works.
So all the poems aren't on there. Posting on there
are just like sporadically written.

Speaker 7 (59:29):
You know.

Speaker 6 (59:31):
It's just like I had no I was involved, but
not involved in the process. I think the universe just
kind of used me as a conduence to reach out
to somebody that needed something to you know, relate to
and ease their minds.

Speaker 4 (59:51):
And you know, show them that they're not alone in
the world.

Speaker 6 (59:55):
So that's pretty much I believe, you know, my gift
and why I got granted that gift. So go check

And also to keep an eye and ear outs for
my future projects.

Speaker 4 (01:05:13):
I will be promoted.

Speaker 6 (01:05:16):
So yeah, just like when the Narrative Podcast appears in
the random scroll, you know, just be prepared to see
some advertisements too. And that's it for the promotional portion
of the Narrative Podcast. And now we're going to dive

(01:05:38):
into the broad overview of the narrative podcast.

Speaker 4 (01:05:42):
So I'll hit you with.

Speaker 6 (01:05:43):
The compact view of the narrative podcast and the opening.
This broad view will explain a whole lot more and
make the listening experience, you know.

Speaker 4 (01:05:57):
Better for you.

Speaker 6 (01:05:58):
It's also the long, youngest part of the program, but
it is necessary. I have just skipped it, skipped over it,
but when I skip over it, it just makes the podcast lackluster. H.
This just kind of, you know, reveals more. It gives

(01:06:19):
you a more revealing look at you know, what I'm doing,
and helps you see the dots connect better, and it
just makes it. It just enhanced the experience where you
So just think of it like an enhancer, a flavor enhancer.

Speaker 4 (01:06:40):
All right. So first and foremost, let's start at the top.
The name.

Speaker 6 (01:06:48):
I name my podcast the Narrative Podcast, AH in response to.

Speaker 4 (01:06:56):
The false narrative of our people's images and likenesses getting
depicted across all media platforms, and aren't like the way
we're portrayed in the media.

Speaker 6 (01:07:13):
So that's why I created this platform to kind of
you know, the spell all these negative stigmas and stereotypes
about our people and our culture, with the intention to

(01:07:36):
change the general overall perception of our people and culture
across all media platforms, thus changing the narrative hents the
title the narrative podcast a Now, the very first nuance
about the narrative podcast you need to be acquainted with

(01:07:59):
is the term narrator. So that's how I greet you know,
my listening audience as narrators. And my inspiration for coining
that term came for from the textbook definition of.

Speaker 4 (01:08:15):
The word narrator.

Speaker 6 (01:08:17):
And the narrator is just someone who tells or narrates
a story, and they narrate the story to enhance the story,
you know, all the aspects, facts and details about the story.

(01:08:39):
They contextualize it for the audience so the audience have
a better understanding of what's going on, industry, whatever, regardless
of whatever format the.

Speaker 4 (01:08:51):
Story is in.

Speaker 6 (01:08:52):
This just you know, helps the audience feeling all the blanks. So,
just for an example, job narrator's.

Speaker 4 (01:09:01):
Job on you know that television show.

Speaker 6 (01:09:08):
So I know, I don't know too many women out
there that haven't, you know, watch the daytime television show
The Narrators like, let you know what's going on and
the seene, Oh, this guy is about to go in
here and see if women do this, and you know.

Speaker 4 (01:09:28):
It.

Speaker 6 (01:09:28):
You know, the narrator just enhances the story by contextualizing
the story. You know, so you're not what's going on here,
what's going on here?

Speaker 4 (01:09:39):
Who's he? What's that? You know, just bringing and blending
everything together for the audience so you know, they have
a broader understanding of the story.

Speaker 6 (01:09:55):
And so that's why essentially I coined the term narrator
or this platform and how I related it to you know,
our people and our culture is like a little you
know knowledgy that I picked up somewhere I can't remember.

Speaker 4 (01:10:14):
I think I like heard it.

Speaker 6 (01:10:15):
At a seminar or something that I've attended in the past.

Speaker 4 (01:10:19):
But you know, it stayed with me for a while.

Speaker 6 (01:10:24):
A phrase that I've heard if you know, if you
don't tell your own story, your own story will be
told for you. So you know, that kind of stuff
with me, and I believe that's exactly what our people
need to do. We need to tell our tell or
narrate our own stories because the media is telling and

(01:10:48):
narrating our story from a negative space. You know, they're
promoting a whole lot of propaganda about our people. They're highlighting,
you know, negative stereotypes and negative stigmas about our people
and our culture.

Speaker 4 (01:11:04):
And passing them off as you know, an accurate representation
of who we are as a people.

Speaker 6 (01:11:13):
And the rest of the world is buying into these
negative stereotypes and stigmas. They're taking it, you know, as
the gospel. So while we cannot control you know, the
types of frames of reference that the media puts out
about our people in our culture, we can control what
we choose to share about our people in our culture.

Speaker 4 (01:11:36):
So that's where the term narrator came from.

Speaker 6 (01:11:44):
And now I'm gonna give you some examples on how
to be a narrator.

Speaker 4 (01:11:48):
So I coin the term.

Speaker 6 (01:11:50):
Every episode of the Narrative podcast is the audio narration
of who we are as a people. So I'm sharing
positive frames of reference about our people and our culture
and audio format. Not only you know, I'm not sharing
positive frames of reference about our people and our culture
and audio format. I'm sharing positive frames of reference that

(01:12:14):
directly challenge, you know, negative stigmas and stereotypes about our
people and our culture.

Speaker 4 (01:12:24):
So that's what I'm.

Speaker 6 (01:12:25):
Doing, I'm changing the narrative, you know, one episode at
a time, as a time at a time, as a narrator.
So to be a narrator on your end while I'm
changing narrative on my end one episode at the time,
you can change the narrative on your end, one social

(01:12:47):
media post at a time.

Speaker 4 (01:12:49):
Visually, you can share positive visual images.

Speaker 6 (01:12:52):
Of our people and our culture that directly challenge a negative.

Speaker 4 (01:12:58):
Stereotype about our people our culture.

Speaker 6 (01:13:01):
Say, for example, we have a negative stereotype about our
people being unintelligent. You can share positive imagery, especially if
you're content creator, depicting our people, you know, excelling academically,

(01:13:24):
you know whatever the you know, not only excelling academically,
but probably like breaking some type of academic record. We
got another negative stereotype about our people being you know aggressive,
overly aggressively and highly prone to violence.

Speaker 4 (01:13:45):
You can, you know.

Speaker 6 (01:13:49):
Share a positive frame of reference about.

Speaker 4 (01:13:57):
Our people.

Speaker 6 (01:13:58):
Somebody you or somebody from our community diffusing a situation,
offering counseling, you know, some nonviolent alternatives to.

Speaker 4 (01:14:10):
Be escalate something.

Speaker 6 (01:14:17):
And I can keep on going on, but I think
you get the generals of it.

Speaker 4 (01:14:21):
Just share some positive visual content on your visual platforms
to be picked us doing something positive.

Speaker 6 (01:14:34):
And if you can't think of any any example that
I just named, one of the most poping things you
can do to change the narrative visually on your end
is just to share pictures of you or you know,
visual positive frames of reference of you enjoying your best life, smiling,

(01:14:56):
being that piece, you know, being assured that everything's going
to be okay, being in a good space, because that's
you know, a part of the agenda. This is why
the news in general is just so depressive. You know,
there's an agenda to break and destroy our people that

(01:15:20):
want to see us in disarray all the time. They
want to see is be pressed or angry or unsure.
But if you're confident and you know, calm and peaceful
and tranquil, you know that throws off the you know,
agenda like those are monkey wrenching their plans and it's like, dang,

(01:15:43):
back to the drawing board. We put all these obstacles
before these people and they just keep on getting better
and better. So you know, if all those fills just
you know, upload positive visual images of you just winning
in life, joining your best life, being happy, and not

(01:16:05):
bothering nobody. You know, that'll really socking too, you know,
And that's how you become a narrator. Another phrase you

(01:16:33):
should be appointed with and listening to the narrative podcast
on this platform.

Speaker 4 (01:16:38):
I refer to.

Speaker 6 (01:16:39):
Our people, black people as original people. I refer to
our people as original people for many reasons, and I
go over a few. First of all, the word original,
you know, hen said being unique, one of a kind, and.

Speaker 4 (01:17:03):
Our people definitely are that.

Speaker 6 (01:17:07):
There's nobody, as a matter of fact, in the world
more unique than our people. Like the things we do,
nobody else does. Like everybody looks to us for inspirations.
We are trends setters. We are the gatekeepers are cool.
Nothing is officially trending until we save The only trends

(01:17:29):
our people follow are trends we set ourselves, you know,
and the rest of the world follows it. So we are,
you know, leaders, We're just natural born leaders.

Speaker 4 (01:17:42):
We command the room when we're in it.

Speaker 6 (01:17:46):
Our presence is so dominating, even when we're trying to
be low key. If we're in the room for a
diverse room full of people from different backgrounds, you know,
we stand out the most on so many levels. So
we're original in that sense of the word original also

(01:18:08):
hints that, you know, being the first original.

Speaker 4 (01:18:13):
We definitely are that.

Speaker 6 (01:18:15):
Historically, we were and are the original, you know, beings
of this world. You know, there hasn't been a time
period our people didn't exist before anything was.

Speaker 4 (01:18:31):
We were.

Speaker 6 (01:18:35):
As a matter of fact, all other groups of people
directly are derived from our DNA, and that's a scientifically
proven fact. We originated all modern day conveniences, all inventions.

Speaker 4 (01:18:51):
We invented pretty much.

Speaker 6 (01:18:52):
Everything, and we invented all forms of education, all forms
of learning.

Speaker 4 (01:18:58):
We were the original.

Speaker 6 (01:19:01):
Philosophers, scientists, mathematicians, chemists, healers, doctors.

Speaker 4 (01:19:09):
We originated everything. We have originated everything that makes humanity civil.
You know, there was never a time where we were
prehistoric or you know, low and intelligence was always highly civilized,

(01:19:29):
always highly advanced, always building something, always discovering something, regardless
of what the history book says. That's why they call
it history. It's history, not what actually happened.

Speaker 6 (01:19:44):
Our people has always been in the forefront of everything originally.
So that's why I refer to our people as original
people from the historic perspective.

Speaker 4 (01:19:56):
And then speaking of history, you know, got to take
a moment to, you know, do.

Speaker 6 (01:20:04):
What the title implies, the narrative by destroying the false
narrative of slavery. Do this kind of every episode because
it's really it's a damning image of our people. It
has a really crippling effect on us.

Speaker 4 (01:20:23):
And it's just, you know, it's so many things about it.

Speaker 6 (01:20:29):
That are totally inaccurate. So first of all, the routes,
you know, that's a lie, and the general concept of
slavery is in of itself like.

Speaker 4 (01:20:46):
We were the original beings.

Speaker 6 (01:20:48):
You know, we's just the thousands of years before any
other person.

Speaker 4 (01:20:54):
In the world. You know, every other group of people.
You name a group of people, they have an actual
date when they start appearing in that region of the world.
Our people do not Black people, militated people.

Speaker 6 (01:21:13):
We gon't why because there's never been a time period
that we did not exist, and we weren't like Leanderthals
were never living in caves. That's somebody else. We've always existed.

(01:21:38):
They want us to believe that we owe our existence
to slavery, like we were just sitting over there on
the continent of Africa.

Speaker 4 (01:21:50):
Just waiting for Europeans and white Spaniards. Because those are
the people responsible for slavery, to drop us off and
put us in all these other places that we currently
reside to today, especially those of us living in the
United States. When anybody knows, when you.

Speaker 6 (01:22:10):
Dig deep into the United States history, that our people,
where the majority of our people, were already living here,
we got reassigned in the identity. The United States government
assigned us as black. They said we were black, went
and got another group of people, Siberians, Mongols to be

(01:22:37):
the so called Native Americanism for those not them, they
were descendants of, you know, white people. White people were
actually allowed to change their identity for five dollars. That's
why they call them five dollars Indians. Our first images

(01:22:58):
of here quotes Native Americans were shown to us by Hollywood,
and they were like, you know, a fair skinned people
with long black, you know, flowing hair, but European features. Now,

(01:23:21):
every explorer said, you know, they were a copper complexity people.

Speaker 4 (01:23:26):
The people of this land so copper.

Speaker 6 (01:23:33):
You close your eyes and envision the people on these
reservations and owning.

Speaker 4 (01:23:39):
These hotels and casinos. Are any of them copper complexed?

Speaker 1 (01:23:43):
No?

Speaker 6 (01:23:45):
And then I know you might say, what about dark
skinned people. Unrefined copper is dark, dark as midnight, unrefined
copper before they melted down. So that's myth one number one,

(01:24:08):
that we're all, you know, from the continent of Africa,
Like there was a mass migration from Africa to go
to different parts of the world. But our presence here
is like and everywhere else that we're located in the world.

Speaker 4 (01:24:22):
It was there so long you might as well just
say we're from there.

Speaker 6 (01:24:26):
Where the you know, Aboriginal indigenous people of that land,
all of Europe, all on the continent of Asia, you
name it, who was there first?

Speaker 4 (01:24:37):
So let's stop that lie.

Speaker 6 (01:24:44):
Like I said, the routes, the time period, just the
notion of how long it.

Speaker 4 (01:24:52):
Went on, because sailing all the way.

Speaker 6 (01:24:55):
To Africa to go transport people on the boat to
stacking them on top of a boat. We've never seen
any remnants of slave boats. They show us chains and
we saw slave chains, but never the actual remnants of
the boat, pieces of the boat. We even have pieces

(01:25:17):
of Christopher Columbus's boat that's so called discovered America boats,
his fleet. Well, we don't have any actual like physical
evidence of slave boats. So not saying that they didn't
go get some African slaves. They did, for sure, but

(01:25:39):
all of us, you.

Speaker 4 (01:25:41):
Know, are not just directly from Africa. We're just not. However,
like the only accurate thing that really got about slavery
is it's the you know, the horrendous way we.

Speaker 6 (01:26:04):
Were treated during slavery, the barbarous brutal things that did
to our people during slave they did, you know, just
would just diabolically think a way as the tortures because
they use our infants for alligator bait. They bred us

(01:26:26):
like animals, you know, we were livestock. They would literally
pitch a hole to our people and have us drag
it like a mule u, use our bodies to warm

(01:26:46):
their feet, bed warmers, cash straight men, rape our women,
rape the men too, just brutally beat us anytime they
felt like it. They got that part right, but they

(01:27:08):
didn't get our ah demeanor surrounding slavery correct.

Speaker 4 (01:27:17):
They wanted to.

Speaker 6 (01:27:19):
Record in the history we were just dicile and we
just accepted it, when really it's because our rebellion was
a key reason why it ended. Because there were many
mansions and you know, uh plantations being burned down, finding

(01:27:42):
people decapitate, it like, you know, they was giving.

Speaker 4 (01:27:47):
It to us, but we was giving giving it to them.

Speaker 6 (01:27:50):
Two you know, that was giving us the business, and
we was responding in con We did not just like
lay down and just take it. You know, that's a fact.
They want us to believe it was just only one

(01:28:16):
Nat Turner, only one areas of me, when like we
all revealed from recorded time that it would took place
from the start to the finish of me. They also
want us to believe like white people wear our saviors,
the evolutionists and you know.

Speaker 4 (01:28:39):
Abraham Lincoln, the only reason.

Speaker 6 (01:28:41):
Why they got involved was politics and economics. You know,
it was just like more advantageous to them financially to free.

Speaker 4 (01:28:53):
Us than to keep us as slave.

Speaker 6 (01:28:55):
So any white people to ever help us during slavery,
they only get so with money involved. So the white
abolition is helping the slaves escape. They were thinking about
themselves because they couldn't. It was mostly like poor white people.

Speaker 4 (01:29:11):
They didn't do.

Speaker 6 (01:29:11):
It because it was they felt morally obligated or it
was their Christian duty. They did it because you know,
they couldn't compete with the slave trade. They were poor,
and their you know mentality behind helping the slaves escape
was that they get more money, you know, eliminating the competition.

(01:29:36):
I can't get work because you know, people just want
to use slave.

Speaker 4 (01:29:41):
But and I can keep going on and on.

Speaker 6 (01:29:54):
But the primary reason why they work and twist the
narrative of slavery is a form of fear and trauma conditioning.
That want to embed fear and trauma into our people
by constantly showing us remnants of the past and.

Speaker 4 (01:30:11):
Then also you know, telling us quick bringing it up.

Speaker 6 (01:30:16):
They keep telling us to quick bring it up, and
yet they keep on shoving it down our throat. So
you can't have it both ways. You can't say stop
bringing it up, to stop shipping on it. But you
got all these at testaments and monuments to us constantly reminded,
reminding us of that time period, all these statues, all
these statues of people the own slaves, all these you know,

(01:30:40):
troups of slavery. Like we remove black chokes from America,
you won't have American culture. American culture is embedded and
rooted in slavery. So that's primarily why they do that.

(01:31:07):
But moving right along, that's pretty much me dispelling some
myths about the narrative false narrative of slavery. Last, but
not least, you know, I refer to our people as

(01:31:28):
original people to unify as a people, because there are
so many different types of people within our culture, like
y'all speak different languages, you know, are all from respective
backgrounds and lineages, and it gets very confusing.

Speaker 4 (01:31:45):
Sometimes lines are drawn, and you know, things become obscure,
like within our culture with pretending our people because we
keep these labels.

Speaker 6 (01:32:04):
And we honor those labels, but we all forget that
we're all black. At the end of the day. People
outside of our culture, they just call us black. They
won't know what language like. They don't know you speak
French or Standing until you open your mouth. They don't
hear your African or.

Speaker 4 (01:32:20):
Caribbean accent until you open your mouth. They just see black,
you know.

Speaker 6 (01:32:26):
But we as a people, we kind of, you know,
gravitate towards our you know, lineages and nationalities and what happened,
and we should, you know, we should keep our rich
identities and cultures and be proud of them.

Speaker 4 (01:32:42):
But we should never forget that we're all black.

Speaker 6 (01:32:44):
At the end of the day, we all face the
same atrocities, we all face the same oppressor, and a
good way to bring us all together is having a
universal thing that we can all universally say that we are.
We are universally can say we're all original. We all
existed thousands of years before any other group of people.

Speaker 4 (01:33:07):
Y'all just high concentrations of carbon aka melanin.

Speaker 6 (01:33:11):
We all can trace our linings back to the original
point of origin. Now there is some diaspora friction brewing.
I'm a foundational Black American, and you know, it's a
whole lot of talk about delineation and we should delineate
from all our brothers and sisters.

Speaker 4 (01:33:33):
And you know, I gotta concur with that because a
lot of.

Speaker 6 (01:33:39):
Our brothers and sisters don't want to play nice and
you know, tell us we don't have any culture, and
you know, we're not this and we're not that, but
then keep on using our culture to propel themselves forward
in life. So we gotta delineate from those types of
brothers and sister But at the same time, we still

(01:34:03):
all black though, we still.

Speaker 4 (01:34:05):
All original people.

Speaker 6 (01:34:09):
So yeah, it's kind of confusing, but I feel the
term original we'll bring us all together.

Speaker 4 (01:34:17):
At the end of the day. We all have our struggles.

Speaker 6 (01:34:20):
We all have our battles with our own perspective governments.
But at the end of the day, we're all original
people and we do have to band together in order to.

Speaker 4 (01:34:34):
You know, change things for the greater goods. So we're
going to have to some We're gonna have to somehow,
some way. Just take a brief, you know, a time
out truths, wave the white flag, and you know, we
could argue about it later after everybody gets what they're doing.

(01:34:57):
Because everybody, all.

Speaker 6 (01:34:58):
Of us located in any part of the world, their
government didn't them dirty and their government owes them. So
you know, until we all get ours less might take
a little WUSA, but we are all original people. But anyway,

(01:35:23):
that's why I refer to our people as original people
on this platform. The next thing about the Narrative podcast
is the nature of the Narrator podcast.

Speaker 4 (01:35:32):
Just a positive safe space for original people.

Speaker 6 (01:35:34):
I don't promote gossip, slander, negativity, name calling. I just
promote enoughlift our people, no forms of degeneracy, gossip, slander,
denigration of any kind. This is just a positive safe
space for us to feel good about our people.

Speaker 4 (01:35:57):
Not trying to be perfect.

Speaker 6 (01:35:59):
You know, we can't all get along as our brother
you know, I like brother Roddy King. He ask the
litorical question, you can't we always just get along? And
the answer to that is no, we cannot. But it's
all right. We don't have to agree with each other
all the time, but we definitely don't have to go

(01:36:19):
out of our way to destore each other either. So
that's what I'm promoting the space of, you know, positive
reinforcement and uplifting each other and you know, loving up
bond each other.

Speaker 4 (01:36:36):
So that's what I do.

Speaker 6 (01:36:38):
Hear no name calling, no slander, no gospeling, nor roasting.
But there is an exception every rule that somebody from
our community identifies theirself as.

Speaker 4 (01:36:48):
An enemy to our community by intentionally.

Speaker 6 (01:36:53):
Degrading or shaming our community for monetary gain, you know,
playing up negative stereotypes, the stigmas about our people and
our culture to prepare propel themselves forward financially, just saying
to hell with my upgrading, to hell with my ancestors,
to hell with my own bloodline. You know, I don't

(01:37:14):
care about people be being embarrassed about me doing.

Speaker 4 (01:37:18):
It whatever it is I need to do to get
this money. And you know I got a problem that.

Speaker 6 (01:37:27):
So if you're in the news for something that has
us all as the people looking crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:37:33):
Because of your.

Speaker 6 (01:37:36):
Greedy, foolish, antious, then you know, when it comes time
for me to address you, I'm not going to be
so nice about that. But other than that, it's a positive,
safe space for our people. Last, but not least, therative
podcast is the top six of the platform.

Speaker 4 (01:37:54):
And try not to see one hour per broadcast, primarily
because you know, like I said earlier, it's just more efficient.
You know, nobody wants to sit up there and listen
to somebody talk and talk and talk. So I want
everything I say to have purpose and meaning and to
enhance it and rich your life, not take precious seconds

(01:38:18):
away from it. I want to deliver the message and
I beat you upside hit the head with the message
and you know, make my message practical, inform and entertain
as well. So that's why I try not to you know,
take longer than necessary. And the broad overview is the

(01:38:41):
longest portion of the podcast. So now that you're up
to speed.

Speaker 6 (01:38:48):
Or just remember the download this episode and I previously
recorded episodes up and near the podcast where every beat
your podcast sources run. And now We're diving in with

notes after I take them. That that was my last

(01:50:16):
positive news article for this weekday edition of MERK podcast. So,
like I said, the broad overview is the longest portion
of the podcast. I usually do three articles, but I
don't know what happened to the third, and when I

(01:50:38):
think I did, I probably just didn't record it.

Speaker 4 (01:50:42):
I don't think I did record my third article. Let
me see if I can pull it up right quick,
because I don't know because I kind of got time.

Speaker 6 (01:51:06):
All right, that's my bad. So I don't know what
happened to my third article. I just probably forgot to
record it. I usually like to keep back up screenshots,
but you know, it didn't happen. But you get the
overall gist of my weekday format is to share positive
news articles, and those definitely were super positive.

Speaker 4 (01:51:32):
So yeah, we're just gonna rock out with the two
and moving on into the final section of the their podcast,
which is my speaking point section.

Speaker 6 (01:51:44):
It's my speaking point section, just to reiterate, it's just
current news, you know, whatever's going on in the world
from the black perspective, and the rare instance that I
don't have any current news or anything I feel.

Speaker 4 (01:51:59):
Is relative or worth discussing.

Speaker 11 (01:52:03):
I usually would replace this section for the PSA and
the PSA it's just an observation that I've made about
our people in our circumstances and things.

Speaker 4 (01:52:14):
I feel we as a people need to work on.
And when I said we, I mean me too, and
in many cases it's me especially. But I actually do
have two things I would like to discuss. It's really
just one thing, but I'm going to kind of interconnect it.
But let's get to it.

Speaker 6 (01:52:36):
So as we all know, you are as you should know.
If you haven't heard, you must be living under a rock.
They're creating an all white town in Arkansas. And you know,

(01:52:59):
of course, we don't care.

Speaker 4 (01:53:02):
Create ninety all white towns.

Speaker 6 (01:53:04):
All right, We don't care about y'all creat all white towns,
but we're not welcome. We would rather you guys, create
all white towns where we're not welcome. And rather than
stumbling upon these all white towns that we're not welcomed.

Speaker 4 (01:53:19):
Want we want that.

Speaker 6 (01:53:22):
We want that visual sign that where our presence isn't
wanted and sitting up there acting like an equal and diverse.

Speaker 4 (01:53:29):
And knowing you don't want our people around you, so
we applaud that.

Speaker 6 (01:53:45):
I promise you no, not not man person in Arkansas
cares about y'all building that little township.

Speaker 4 (01:53:55):
I definitely can guarantee you.

Speaker 6 (01:53:57):
Not a they're a black person all around the world
hears about you guys building your own township. The only
thing we care about is if y'all, you know, start
feeling yourselves, because this is what they do. People that
think like that, they get comfortable, same things that would

(01:54:17):
never say in front of our face, putting up signs
that they would never show us in front of our face.

Speaker 4 (01:54:27):
Just don't come to where where you know predominantly located.
Just don't do that. Please don't do that, Nah, please
do do that. We want you to do that.

Speaker 6 (01:54:43):
So after you build your little township and you build
your little self confidence up say twenty thirty or your
little raggedy inhabitants up that town and come into the
predominantly you know, black space in Arkansas into twenty twenty five,
and you know, let's see how you.

Speaker 4 (01:55:04):
Work out with that. Let's see how that works out
for you. But I do have some breaking news. A brother.

Speaker 6 (01:55:18):
By the name of Eric Darnell, a truck driver, has
recently gone miss it happened in Wilmington, Alabama.

Speaker 4 (01:55:35):
That was a scheduled routes. His GPS mysteriously went off.

Speaker 6 (01:55:42):
And for those that don't know me, unfamiliar with me
and my platform, I already predicted this.

Speaker 4 (01:55:48):
I predicted this, you know, over the winter or spring.

Speaker 6 (01:55:55):
Pardon yeah, I think it was spring that was who
is going to see a resurgence of black truckers, you
know in the logistic industry being un alive, you know,
going to these sundown towns from sundown towns are you know,

(01:56:24):
they've always been around.

Speaker 4 (01:56:28):
Pretty much.

Speaker 6 (01:56:32):
Not never in America because it call them sundowntowns because
when the sun goes down, they pray and start, you know,
anybody that does.

Speaker 4 (01:56:42):
Not look like them. So the people that have these.

Speaker 6 (01:56:45):
Little sundown towns, and of course white people and their
favorite people to victimize our black people out of.

Speaker 4 (01:56:53):
Any other group of people.

Speaker 6 (01:56:55):
They love, you know, overpowering one of us and unlive
in one of us. So you know, there's so many
reported instances of our people, you know, for whatever ungodly reason,
taking the wrong turn, and they do things like that.

(01:57:15):
They'll literally you know, mess with the signs, the you know,
road signs, so that you'll accidentally.

Speaker 4 (01:57:23):
Drive through the town and that have, you know, an
opportunity to do something to you when your Your telltale
signs of when you're in the sundowntown is the service,
how people look at you when you get there.

Speaker 6 (01:57:45):
If you go to the store, they don't want to
serve you, got a restaurant they don't want to serve
you and make a million decuses, or you're in there
that serve everybody but you.

Speaker 4 (01:57:57):
If you eat some food, you better not just don't
do it. If you're getting that energy.

Speaker 6 (01:58:03):
If they don't want you here, you better not eat
nothing that they fixed with in the sun Downtown. Stay
in your vehicle. You know, this is a plight that
our brothers and sisters in the truck driving.

Speaker 4 (01:58:17):
Industry have to go through, which I think, you know, I.

Speaker 6 (01:58:21):
Think these logistic companies are taking out insurance contracts on
their black truck drivers and forcing them to go on
routes in Sundowntown Sundowntown's to collect on the insurance.

Speaker 4 (01:58:41):
That's just my.

Speaker 6 (01:58:42):
Little theory because it's happening to randomly, like there's so
many people that drive through these little towns never to
be heard from ever again. So which brings me back
to an all white town in Arkansas. So we would
have that marker knowing that they don't want white people

(01:59:04):
or I mean don't knowing they don't want our people
come into their town with the sundowntown. Just know like
you just have to, you know, read the room. You know,
they don't want you to be replenish. They give you
static at the gas when when you're going to refuel

(01:59:24):
your rig, that's when that's another tall tail sign that
they don't want you in your town. At the rig
they do cowardly things like put a sign get out
of town in the word hard R on your rig
or on your vehicle if you're not a truck driver,

(01:59:46):
or you have somebody from the town just come up
to you with the confidence to say, hey, we don't
want you here, so what's your business here?

Speaker 4 (01:59:55):
You better get out of here before the sun goes down?
You know some of them are that bold to say that.
So racism has gone nowhere in this country. It's become
increasingly becoming more overts in the Trump administration. So many

(02:00:16):
of them are backing him, are backing the ideal of him.
Because I don't believe in politics.

Speaker 6 (02:00:23):
I believe everything is happening, don't really matter who's in
the you know, I believe all these things. It's currently
happening right now, what happened if Kamala had gotten in
the office, Like you know, it's it's.

Speaker 4 (02:00:39):
All predetermined, you know. And if you don't think so, like,
all you have to do is just pay attention to
government class Like you don't have to pass it, just
pay attention. And it tells you everything a president a
president can and cannot do. Living like the digital age,
it's YouTube chat, g E T. What can the president

(02:01:01):
of the United States do? What artists corps functions? Like
what can you do? What can they do? And you
will notice like half the things that they promise in
the campaign when they're getting elected, it's things they can't
deliver anywhere that they can't because the office won't allow
them to do it. They have a limited amount of

(02:01:23):
things that they can and cannot do.

Speaker 6 (02:01:25):
So I never understood people in politicians getting mad with
the president. The president is just the figurehead. It's the
administration back in the president. It's like Capitol Hill is Congress.

Speaker 4 (02:01:37):
It's not the actual president making making it all Like
it's if some presidents make you hate.

Speaker 6 (02:01:43):
Anybody have dumb things that they say, you know why
they got that position, But it's actually not them. It's
just there their uh you know, their party affiliation or whatever.
These they're they're literally just like you know, they're reading
Q cars. You don't see the little thing in their
ear when they're making their speeches. That's literally their party

(02:02:07):
telling them what to say, and they're doing it for
people to back them financially. A whole lot of people
run for office just you know, because they know they
won't win, because you get to keep all their campaign
money if you don't win. So whatever didn't you get
used in your campaign when you're running for a political artifice,

(02:02:27):
you get to keep that. So yeah, my personal theory,
I think Kamala was banking on her not winning.

Speaker 4 (02:02:48):
It's just so she can collect the bag.

Speaker 6 (02:02:49):
Because if anybody heard a peep by the Kamala, you know,
since this thing's over, like you know, I think she
was banking on it not winnings or so she can
collect the campaignment.

Speaker 4 (02:03:05):
She probably even sabotized it so she wouldn't have to win.

Speaker 6 (02:03:16):
That's just my theory because like you know, but yeah,
as far as the orange guy, he says a lot
of dumb stuff.

Speaker 4 (02:03:25):
But like.

Speaker 6 (02:03:27):
You know, if you don't know any think about politics,
all these policies and stuff that happened no matter who
sets in that seasons, so it.

Speaker 4 (02:03:34):
Doesn't the waste energy being mad at him. But going
back to the sundown towns, you know they feel these
racist white.

Speaker 6 (02:03:49):
Supremacist white supremacists, I call them white delusionists because they
delusion or thinking they're supreme or superior to anybody when
they cowardly and fearful, they don't. You know, if they
so supreme, then come up to somebody that don't look

(02:04:10):
like you and just say what you got on your
mind in front of their face. They sit up there
and they scream out, you know, racial slurs with the
window that's yelling out the window, and then skirt.

Speaker 4 (02:04:24):
Away, Like keep that same energy.

Speaker 6 (02:04:27):
If you so superior and supreme, stand there in front
of a group of people that you don't like and
tell that group of people that you don't like because
they're just you know, black or Asian or whatever, say
you're racial slur in front of their face.

Speaker 4 (02:04:44):
And see how that turns out. For it.

Speaker 6 (02:04:46):
If you so supreme, calmly, don't yell it and see
how that works out for you. Stop being the coward.
Stop hiding behind stuff, Stop hiding behind your you know,

(02:05:08):
job title, but hiding behind your little political statue. You know,
say your mind, if you're really so supreme, if you
really feel you're better than the N words, hard ours,

(02:05:29):
and you know all these other racial slurs that you
like calling all other ups of people.

Speaker 4 (02:05:34):
Say that to them, say that with confidence.

Speaker 6 (02:05:38):
Don't sit up there and create these little towns and
keep them out and away from you. Now welcome throwing
the welcome party, say yeah, you can come here.

Speaker 4 (02:05:51):
We got a good reception for it. You say that,
you keep that energy.

Speaker 6 (02:05:58):
Why are you cowering and running when the whole country
is yours, the whole country's yours.

Speaker 4 (02:06:07):
For you to build a sundowntown. You're just behaving like
a coward.

Speaker 6 (02:06:14):
You gotta wait till the sun goes down to do
something that somebody gotta hide in the cloak of knights,
to do something to somebody do with in broad daylight.
But you know, like I said, the cowards, they coward

(02:06:36):
and the sun downtowns. They cower in this little town
that they're going to build in Arkansas because they're scared.
I mean, you can like you know who you don't

(02:06:58):
want to like, or any and obvious reasons, and that's fine,
that's perfectly. You're entitled to your own opinion. And you know,
I think you should have an all white town if
that's how you feel. Now the reverse of us one
in the all black town isn't for it because we

(02:07:20):
hate people. We never exclude anybody. We can't exclude people
if we wanted to exclude people. And here's where language
gets dice racists. So I don't know how many of
y'all people know this, but racism didn't exist until the

(02:07:45):
term race existed.

Speaker 4 (02:07:46):
Race was a social construct. I don't know if y'all
knew that.

Speaker 6 (02:07:53):
The classification that they used to divide people and classify people,
that was conception lies by you know, the Census Bureau
when they're counting people. So it's only been around for
a short minute amount of time, but it's done so
much damage. And I think the most damage that it

(02:08:16):
does is through you know, the lack of understanding about racism,
because racism in and of itself is just you know,
it's a system of classifying. That's what it's designed to
do to classify it to identify different people.

Speaker 4 (02:08:39):
It's not. People are getting confused racism confused with big
treating prejudice. You know, those are ugly things, those are emotions.

Speaker 6 (02:08:49):
Those are not liking somebody because they're black, because they're white, and.

Speaker 4 (02:08:53):
Then the prejudice is prejudging.

Speaker 6 (02:08:55):
Them on the assumption of what you think you know
about the group of people, or whatever it is you
don't like about those group of people personally.

Speaker 4 (02:09:07):
A racism, this is a class system.

Speaker 6 (02:09:09):
Is this group of people, this group of people over here,
has more to do with money than it does personal feelings.
And this is why a black person can never be racist,
because to be a racist, you must have the power
of exclusion. You must have the power to exclude another

(02:09:31):
group of people from being around you. You know, a
whole system has to back you in order to exclude
a whole group of people from you. And our people
are the only people in the entire world it doesn't
have a system backing, not just here in America, like everywhere,

(02:09:56):
literally everywhere our people are located. No govern remit agencies
or form of system system like, any type of system
in place backs us, like just for instance, like you
know how black white people can call the police on
a black person and the police are already apprehensive towards

(02:10:21):
the black person. They already got them guilty before they
even know what happened. In the scenario, you're telling them
to be quiet and you know, don't take that tongue.
They ain't even even heard the whole story.

Speaker 4 (02:10:36):
That's racism. You know, this is systemic power. Same thing
in retail, when you go up into, you know, a store,
the retailer can just tell you you don't want your business.
We don't want you if you're black, you know, if
you're a store owner.

Speaker 6 (02:10:56):
Now, on the reverse, if a black person open owns
a store and tells a white person, if we don't
want you.

Speaker 4 (02:11:02):
Up in here, get out of here, what do you
think will happen the next day?

Speaker 6 (02:11:11):
Black person is their store is going to close. They
want to get seed, and they might go to jail.
That's how racism works. Let's see, it's a system, it's economics,
it's money, and it's just financially advantageous.

Speaker 4 (02:11:42):
For all other groups to participate in racism. It's like,
you know, especially.

Speaker 6 (02:11:51):
Against our people, like you know, it's just national advantageous.
They get more money for keeping us at the level
that we're at economically because we pose an economic threat
to all other use of people. We market and sell
anything we produce and manufacturer. We outsell everybody. You know,

(02:12:13):
especially with the hip hop genre, they use the images
and likenesses of these artists.

Speaker 4 (02:12:20):
To promote their products to generate seals.

Speaker 6 (02:12:24):
So, you know, if we ever started just taking control
and just doing it ourselves, you know, that poses a
huge economic threat to them.

Speaker 4 (02:12:35):
They know that. They always known that. That's why they
created this race system in the first place, because there
was fearful of debt. But going back to this sundown

(02:12:55):
town stuff, and you know what's happening in Arkans Like
I appreciate you, I really applaud the efforts. I would
rather see my enemy, you know, my enemy.

Speaker 6 (02:13:09):
I want to see the hood unfurled. You know, that's
when the COVID is about to strike. When they unfurl
their hood less, you know danger I'm about to strike you.
I want to see it coming. I don't want to
be blindsided body. I don't want to have them blurre

(02:13:29):
me in acting like they love me and they're my
friend and they want me to have every you know,
advantage if there's anything they can do.

Speaker 4 (02:13:38):
Their help, they help me. I don't want that.

Speaker 6 (02:13:41):
If you really despise me because you don't like me
because I'm black and you know I don't look like
you and I don't have the saintishment, then tell me
that so I can stay away from it.

Speaker 4 (02:13:56):
That's what we all want as a people. We don't
want this, you know, we don't want this, like we
don't like having our intelligence and saucy.

Speaker 6 (02:14:13):
And like, you know, they really just can't see themselves
how ridiculous they look going up in places of business
and demanding well what are you doing here?

Speaker 4 (02:14:28):
And accusing people is stealing and you know, having this
you know, apprehensive disposition. And then when you tell them
and when you.

Speaker 6 (02:14:38):
Ask them, well, is it because I'm black? Oh no,
it's not because you're black. Don't try to play the
race card. Don't try to say just because you're black,
we're doing this to you.

Speaker 4 (02:14:48):
We just want to know.

Speaker 6 (02:14:49):
We're curious. We never seen you year before, you wouldn't know,
so you know, that's a big crop. The only one
know because you're black, as you don't look like then,
and all information that they have about people that look

(02:15:11):
like you are through the media, and it's all negative.
So this is again systemic programming and conditioning to help
you mold and shape your views and perceptions about a
group of people. You know, that's pretty much all the

(02:15:37):
energy and time I want to spend on it.

Speaker 4 (02:15:39):
We know were his family.

Speaker 6 (02:15:41):
Man, keep your head up and keep your head on
swivel and watch. We definitely ain't fearful. We ready for
all the smoke. We stay ready for all the smoke.
Like look what we do in each other. Like y'all
can keep on building these little towns.

Speaker 4 (02:15:58):
It's not gonna work out for y'all. It's not going
to work out for y'all. It didn't work out for
you in the past. We just you know, we unwillingly
took the We unwillingly took the the man in the
tailpipe when this integration stuff, we just you know, we

(02:16:19):
just blindly was following the dream about this, uh you know,
see the brotherhood stuff.

Speaker 6 (02:16:26):
We didn't know how much like economical power was giving
up integrating. But you know, we also got tired of
y'all coming to our neighborhoods burning me down. Like anytime
we tried to do something that will empower us to

(02:16:50):
where we can have our own infrastructure.

Speaker 4 (02:16:52):
We can't can't have our own thing, not minding, minding
our own business.

Speaker 6 (02:16:57):
Here, y'all come trying to destroy a car, getting on
the phone calling people, and you.

Speaker 4 (02:17:04):
Know this board, that board, the FCC that this, that
that to destroy it.

Speaker 6 (02:17:13):
But then you don't want to surround us. But then
you don't want to not only want us not around y'all,
but then you don't want us to have anything up.

Speaker 4 (02:17:21):
Out of our own.

Speaker 6 (02:17:22):
So we need y'all to make up y'all mind y'all
don't want to surround us, or you don't want us
to have nothing of our own.

Speaker 4 (02:17:28):
Y'all can't have it too with us because when we
design stuff, you know, exclusively for us, then y'all say,
oh what, that's racist.

Speaker 6 (02:17:43):
We're just gonna come here anyway, So I don't know,
you know, we don't wear it really real talk be
around y'all anywhere. So keep on, continue to build these

(02:18:05):
little towns. We'll keep our natural unique energy. You know,
we don't want to go to bland mayonnaise land anyway.
We like our food season, we like our music loud,
we like our times fun. We like expressing ourselves away

(02:18:25):
we like expressing ourselves. If y'all don't want us to
express ourselves around y'all all, we aren't firined with that.
Y'all keep that we don't want to be in your town.
Please market clearly, big bright signs. We don't want you here.
Close it off so we.

Speaker 4 (02:18:43):
Can't even drive through here.

Speaker 6 (02:18:45):
I hope they put an electronic game and then you
can only get in if you're white. Please do that,
like do a face recognition that you can't get in
unless you're white, you know, DNA scanner, like only white
people could come in, so we won't accidently drive through

(02:19:07):
these sundown towns or you know, y'all's little townships. So like,
just make it so we can't get in period. Please
do it like that, like you like y'all do the
country clubs, then we can't get in their period. We
can't get in there as members or the jobs. Do
y'all's towns like that, We would be all right with you.
