haul Sy Allen. Welcome all my narrators. Peace, piece piece,
Peace be to the leed. Welcome to another edition. So

(02:20):
you know, here we are on this terrific Thursday, rounding
out July. I hardly believe it sliding on into August.
We are in the last dog days of summer. Believe

(02:41):
the children go back to school on the second week
of August. You know. So we're moving right along. A
whole lot of things happening in the world and happening
in the news, and we're going to addrust some of
it on this platform today. So I got a good

(03:06):
show for you today. I got a good show for
you every time I do an episode of the Narrative Podcast,
and real quickly, just to let you know what this
is all about first and all near. The podcast is
an all black content platform with the sole purpose of

(03:28):
promoting and positively reinforcing Black people and Black people culture.
And I'm just going to give you a ministurized overview
of the platform, which will later on be accompanied by
a broad overview of the platform. The Narrative Podcast highlights
the beauty, strength, and resilience of the Black community, covering

(03:51):
topics such as black love, empowerment, unity, and progression. Narrative
Podcast dives deep into discussions about black health, wealth, innovation,
and positive reinforcement of black voices. Tune in week days
and weekends to hear uplifting news and to focus on
the achievements of black individuals across the globe. And that's

(04:13):
just to scratch the surface of you know what I'll
be presenting you today and every single time that I'm
broadcasting episode up in there podcast. And like I said,
I'm gonna give you a broad overview a little bit
later on in the program. So getting to it, how

(04:42):
I kick things off as basically, how I present all
my content is, you know, I break it down and
the section. Each section has speaking points, and you know
how I be presenting the speaking points. They're all going

(05:03):
to sit around my centralized positive frame of reference that's
narrative podcast is dedicated towards, is providing positive frames of
reference about our people and our coach. As a matter
of fact, I even have a slogan about my podcast
and narrative podcast changing the narrative one episode at the

(05:26):
time by destroying negative stereotypes about original people and original
people coaching.

Speaker 5 (05:31):
How do I destroy the negative stereotyzes about our people
in their coachure?

Speaker 1 (05:34):
I provided a positive frame by provided positive frames of
reference about our people and our culture. So the positive
frame of reference that I focus on during the week
days is delivering positive news articles. And the purpose of
me presenting these positive news articles during the week days

(05:57):
is because all we day long, we're constantly being bombarded
by negative news. You know, it's on just a consistent rotation,
just all negative things that we're being exposed to within

(06:18):
the media, especially in concern to our people's images and likenesses,
the way we're portrayed, and you know how they depict
this and across all media platforms. So it's not just
solely the news, you know, they negatively depicted this, and movies,

(06:44):
television shows, magazines, advertisements, you name it. All forms of media,
our people are you know, depicted in a negative way.
So that's primarily why I'm focusing on on delivering positive
news articles during the weekday. What being exposed to all

(07:08):
that negativity does is it corrupts our minds, It gets embedded,
it's deep into our psychees, and you know, on a
subconscious level, we kind of act out all that negativity
that's introduced to us via the media. We accept and

(07:30):
normalized things that we should not accept within our culture.
We promote and glorify things we shouldn't be promoting and
glorified because of our exposure to the negativity. We normalize
and rationalize it as it was, you know, designed to

(07:53):
plan for it to do. We promote and glorify all
these negative stereo types of stigmas about our people and
our culture, and so we accept it and we actually
crave it, and we are victims of it, and it's
destroying us. So that's on the adverse effects of being

(08:16):
exposed to all this negative content about our people's images
and likenesses has on us as a people. Now it
also affects groups of people outside of our community as well.
It directly enhances and controls their perception of our people

(08:41):
and dictates, you know, to them how they're going to
engage us and you know, interact with us or react
to us every time we do or say anything. And
you know, again it's from the negative specce, so they
don't have any positive frames of reference to draw from,

(09:05):
you know, when looking at our people as a whole.
So again, like the media is uh, the effects of
being exposed to negativity within our community. It you know,
it destroys our community and then it also creates adversaries

(09:28):
of our community. You know, the weapon it is basically
weaponized against us to destroys the people to own the media.
You know, they have an agenda to get rid of us,
to have an agenda also for the ones that can't
get rid of, to subjugate us, you know, to keep

(09:48):
us in bondage, you know, mentally, spirit mental bondage, spiritual bondage,
financial bondage using this negative content. So that's, like I said,

(10:10):
the media's ultimate agenda. And that's why I'm focus on
providing positive news articles during the weekday to undo that
psychological programming and conditioning, and then also to demonstrate the
positive things do happen within our community. And that's my

(10:34):
you know, main positive frame of reference that I focus
on during the week days. Now and then after I'm
done with that section, my positive news articles section, I
go into a section called my speaking point section. So,
like I said, you know my content, it's dividing into sections.

(10:57):
Each section has speaking points, and I try to section
during the weekday, I only have two sections to you know, deliver,
which is you know, my positive news articles and my
speaking point section. And you know, that's what we're doing

(11:28):
during the weekday. Next, I think I jumped ahead of myself,
so I back it up a bit. So how I'm
gonna kick things off as I'm going to do a
comparison contrast of the two presentation styles, my weekday forms
style on our weekend format style, which is what I'm

(11:50):
doing now. I should have let off saying that, and
it just escaped my mind to do so. And then
after I'm done with my comparison contrast of my format styles,
then I'm going to dive in with the promotional portion
of the narrative podcast. This podcast. It has a monthly

(12:14):
maintenance feed, and the things that I'll be promoting help
generate revenue to keep.

Speaker 5 (12:21):
The podcast going. So that's why I have a promotional portion.

Speaker 1 (12:27):
And then after that, I'm going to go into a
broad overview of the narrative podcast and my broad overview
of the narra of the podcast.

Speaker 5 (12:36):
I'm going to break down the podcast and its entirety.

Speaker 1 (12:40):
Uh in the charge just hit you with a you know,
a miniaturized overview of the narrative podcast just to help
you equip you to get a good feel for the content.
This explains everything. The broad over the few explore explores
all aspects of the podcast. You know, it breaks down,

(13:04):
you know, everything you need to know about it in
order to engage the content better and be more receptive
to what I'm saying and then also to you know,
make it more digestible for you. So that's the nature
of the broad overview, and the broad overview is the
longest part of the program. My goal is to keep

(13:28):
it short, sweet, and breathing, to the point I don't
want to see one hour when broadcasting an episode, because
I basically don't want to talk to you today and
bore you So that's my way of trying to keep
the content fresh and innovative. It's just hit my speaking

(13:48):
points and get out of there and then you know,
and then I wrap it up nicely towards the end
after I delivered over the content itself. And that's pretty
much in my present state, my presentation style for the
Narrative Podcast when they're broad delivery content. Uh, Like I said, so,

(14:12):
I just gave you, uh my weekday format breakdown, and
now I'm about to give you my weekend format breakdown
of the Narrative Podcast. So my weekend edition of the

(14:33):
Narrative Podcast slightly differs from my weekday edition. And the
biggest way it differs is because it has more sections.

Speaker 4 (14:43):
While the.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
Weekdays edition of the Narrative Podcast only has two you
know sections for you know, the content. I think my
weekend edition has you know, total of five then plus
you know everything that I just named the comparison contrast

(15:07):
section and the broad the promotional portion of the Narrative
podcast and then the broad overview of the near of
the podcast. So you know, that's how mainly different.

Speaker 5 (15:24):
So the other positive frame of reference that I focus on,
you know, during the.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Weekend, my main focusing point during the weekend is entrepreneurialism
and business ownership. Now I focus on that during the
weekends is because I had to back up a bit
and give you a a quick history of the narrative podcast.

(15:52):
When I first started this podcast, or at least to
do it on the weekends and have a weekend a
weekday section. I started this during pandemic lockdown, and you know,
I don't used to broadcast on weekends. I didn't have
a primary focus on what I was going to speak about,

(16:16):
like many people that you know had started podcasting that
time period that were just doing it for something to
keep busy, to keep their minds preoccupied from the eminit.
You know, things that were going on that time, which
is the c. Nineteen and you know, a civil unrest

(16:39):
and just a whole lot of old by the negative
things that we couldn't control back then. But everybody wanted
to use this digital space as a creative outlet in
which to you know, vent basically, so they were either
creating podcasts or doing tiktoks. I went to podcast route outast.

(17:05):
But anyway, so like I said, when I first started this,
I at least the broadcast on the weekends and through
me being consistent on the weekends, I rEFInd it, rEFInd it,
and develop this delivery style that I, uh you know
that I'm presenting to you today, which is, you know,

(17:25):
breaking it down into sections and giving each section sneaking points.
So while the weekday for a Matt of the Narrative
podcast on has two, I think I have a told
VI my main uh positive frame of reference that I

(17:48):
focus on during the weekdays is you know, business ownership
and entrepreneurialism. I focus on delivering that because you know,
we haven't We don't receive you know, that type of
imagery or that type of positive friend of references intentionally done.

(18:10):
You know, they don't want people to control the media.
They don't want us to, you know, be reminded of
a time in our lives as a people that we
once were independent, We owned our own businesses, you know,

(18:32):
we did for self. You know, people don't want us
to be reminded that that. They definitely don't want us
to be inspired by that to go out and you know,
create our own businesses and own our own land property
like many of these people that I focused on during

(18:54):
the weekend edition of the they're the podcast, and like
I said's intentionally done is h the psychological warfare and
its finist They don't want us to have any positive
frames of reference to draw inspiration from to be you know,

(19:15):
inspired and motivated to do the same thing. They only
want to steer us in the negative direction. They only
want to create and promote negative stereotypes, their harm and
destroy our people.

Speaker 5 (19:30):
They don't want us to raise the prominence.

Speaker 4 (19:33):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (19:33):
They don't want to be considered as equal to us.
They don't want to share the resources. They want to
control and dominate, and they want to eliminate the biggest
threats to their uh you know, elite society, which is
our people's. That's why we don't have a lot of

(19:54):
positive frames of reference about business ownership and entrepreneurs and
that's why I deliver the positive frame of reference about
business ownership and entrepreneurialism on the weekend. And I call
that section my highlight section, and what I'm doing in

(20:17):
that section is on highlighting a business owner or entrepreneurs
journey to becoming a business owner and an entrepreneur. Sorry
I took that little cause, but yeah, so that's what

(20:41):
I'm doing on in that section. So basically it's like
a week wiki page. It's basically like just telling you
giving you a brief introduction to the business owner. You know,
I include like where they grew up, you know, and

(21:03):
any and all.

Speaker 5 (21:05):
Professional, educational or vocational.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Skills they obtained in life to help, you know, set
them on the path.

Speaker 5 (21:19):
To becoming a business owner. You know, what year did
they first decide I want.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
To own my own business, how they come up with
the concept, you know, how they acquire funds for starting
their business, and you know, and then ultimately what's their
overall impact that their business has, you know, in the world.

(21:53):
So that's what I try to include for the business owner,
you know, that part of it. And then I also
give you specifics about the business. So like, for example,
if the business is online, I will tell you everything
you need to know.

Speaker 5 (22:13):
About, you know, patronizing their business online, you know, with the.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
Website address, which the layout of the page, what is
their engagements, the contact information, uh order specific ordering information
if you're ordering products from from their business online, does
it does their website have a blog? You know, what

(22:42):
other incentives that they offer for your patientage from ordering
product online. That's what I would include that the business
is online, that the businesses a brick or mortar location.
I would include all this specific she would need to
know about patronizing their brick and mortar location. So like

(23:07):
I would try to include location obviously, where is that,
you know, the address and zip code.

Speaker 5 (23:17):
Instructions on how to get theater, you know, driving or.

Speaker 1 (23:23):
Taking public transportation, like the best way to get to
the brick and mortar location. Are hours of operation, a
building capacity, you know, how much people can at hold
do the you know, seating, what's the day cores. I

(23:48):
try to describe the day cores, you know, Also what's
it known for in that area? Memorable things, the product itself,
whatever they're selling at the brick and mortar location. What's

(24:10):
the best thing to ask for? Was system apart from
the competition, what they focus on with, how's the customer service?
You know, do they rent the facility out sometimes? And
just you know, anything one would need to know about
patronizing the brick and mortar location a brick and mortar business.

(24:34):
That's what I try to include as well. So that's
pretty much.

Speaker 5 (24:38):
The highlight section. I'm not giving you their life story,
I'm just giving the.

Speaker 1 (24:43):
Finer points of their life to let up to them
becoming a business owner an entrepreneur. And then.

Speaker 5 (24:52):
I'm not going to break down each and every section.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
I'm just gonna giving you some key points on how
the weekend edition differs from the weekday edition.

Speaker 5 (25:04):
So moving right along, another.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Section that I have on the weekday edition of the
Narrative podcast is a section called my Spotlight Section, and
it's called the Spotlight Sessions on spotlighting.

Speaker 5 (25:32):
An individual within our.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Community that does positive things that impacts our community in
a positive way through their you know, service actions and needs,
whether they're an advocate or a philanthropist or just giving
something that you know impacts our community in a positive way.

(26:00):
You know, uplifts us, not embarrasses us or you know,
hinders us as a people. So what I'm doing is
that in that section is I'm focusing on, you know,
promoting positive reinforcement within our people, within our culture, you know,

(26:24):
and that's really important because we don't receive any positive
reinforcement in life. We virtually have no allies. Nobody seems
to you know, be empathetic to our plight and don't
really go out of their way they say nice things

(26:46):
about our people. In our culture and then we as
a people who have been impacted by our relentless you know,
psychological attacks of the media. We don't know how to
openly gauge and express our love towards one another. We
often view each other as adversaries and where like easily

(27:14):
you know, just automatically apprehensive towards one another, especially online.
Instead of using this you know, these digital resources to
connect with each other, to inspire each other, to you know,

(27:34):
build with one another, we use it to aggressively engage
each other. You know, we're trying to tear each other
apart on here and not come together and build something
lucrative for the agent so that we leave the next
generation will have. So it's not entirely our fault. Like

(27:57):
I said, We've been psychologically trained to do that. So
that's why promoting positive reinforcement is essential. It's getting us
back to basics as a people, getting us in tune
with our true nature as a people, because our true

(28:17):
nature has been corrupted over time with the overexposure of
the media, and our shoe nature is that were kings
and queens, gods and goddess at the universe, and that's
how we should our images and likenesses should always be depicted.
I'm not saying that we're not saying we're perfect, but
we're definitely not how they portrayed us in the media.

(28:42):
We're definitely not back. So what I try to include
in the positive for the spotlight section is just this

(29:04):
is basically a breakdown of the person that I'm spotlighting,
just all their experiences, achievements that they have achieved, you know,
all accolades. I try to include all their accolades, if
they have any accolades. You know, not trying to give

(29:26):
you their entire life story, but just the finer points
of it, and you know, accentuating why I chose to
give them the spotlight. You know, their body of work,
what they've done to inspire and motivate, impact, uplift our community.
So many people that I spotlight the Spotlight section, they

(29:49):
have their own nonprofit organization. They either work with the
youth or provide whatever our community needs, you know, assistance,
fool assistance, various causes. You know, they rally around various
causes and are you know, just unselfishly using their time

(30:15):
to uplift our community. So that section, I'm just basically
proving all heroes don't wear capes. And then I'm also
giving roses to a person in our community that deserves
to be knowledged for all the positive things that they
do for our community. That's what spot my section it's

(30:37):
all about. And again it's designed to promote positive reinforcement.
And then you know, lastly, on my weekend edition of
and there the podcast, I end out on a super
positive note. I have a section called my Wise Word

(30:57):
of the Day and my Wise Word of the Day
it's just basically a philosophical sentiment to help you ponder
and reflect upon. You know, this thing we call life

(31:21):
is just the design to promote critical thinking and just
end on a super mellow, positive note, inspirational.

Speaker 5 (31:30):
That's the Wise word of today. And from there I
wrap it up close out.

Speaker 1 (31:36):
And that's how the weekday edition differs from the week
day edition of the Narrative podcast. So all good things,
all positive, all super good who also super good, super positive.

Speaker 5 (31:57):
That's what I'm trying to really bring to the table
here on this platform.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Room.

Speaker 5 (32:05):
Uh, I think I jumped over. I got a backtrack with.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
My highlight section of the Narrative podcast. So the business
owners or the entrepreneurs that I select. In that process,

(32:30):
there's also a criteria that must meet. They must own
own their own business must be black owned from the
tops of the bottom. They got to hire their own
and they also got to you know, engage in some
type of philanthropy or outreach the impacts of the community
that they're rooted in in a positive way.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
And they must also coincide with my overall theme, which.

Speaker 1 (32:55):
Is my nationally recognized day and nationally recognized or nationally
recognized months.

Speaker 5 (33:03):
Whatever business that I'm highlighting the highlight section.

Speaker 3 (33:06):
On the.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
Ah AH Weekend edition, they must coincide with. Your business
must coincide with the match with the nationally recognized month
or nationally recognized.

Speaker 4 (33:35):
Day.

Speaker 1 (33:37):
So that's just a tempic on the highlight section that
I forgot to talk about when I was bringing it up.
So I'm moving right along. Now that you know my
two format styles, I'm going to move right on into

(33:58):
the promotional portion of the program by telling you to
by promoting the platform so you know, you can patronize
the narrative podcast in many ways. It's available on all

(34:23):
audio podcast streaming sites or whatever your preferred site to
listen to podcasts that you go to it's on there.
Just make sure you're listening to the narrative podcast hosted
by me Hawsey Allen, because if you listen to any
other one, there's no telling what you're gonna hear. That

(34:44):
if you want to hear the focus on black people
in black culture, definitely make sure you're listening to narrative
podcast hosted by me.

Speaker 4 (34:58):
Yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Haltsey Allen. That's one you want to listen to all
black content because there are thousands of podcasts titled and
narrative podcast, none with the focus on black people and
black culture to my knowledge, but I'm the only one
doing it.

Speaker 5 (35:17):
But anyway, that's how you support the narrative podcast when.

Speaker 1 (35:24):
You know listening to it on all audio podcast streaming sites,
you gotta find it first, and that's how you find it,
you know, as far as the description of the podcast,
I speak about all Things Black and it's hosted by
me Halsey Allen. And how you can support it on
all audio podcasts streaming site is they should come equipped

(35:48):
with the download feature, and the download feature is usually
a cloud shaped icon, and so you find the cloud
shaped icon, click on that and down load the episode.
So download the episode when the episode is fully downloaded,

(36:09):
then share or upload the episode to whatever social media
platform that you like sharing or uploading contents. That's how
you support the Narrative podcast when following me on all
audio podcasts streaming sites. And another way you can support
the Narrative podcast is follow me on X formally Twitter.

(36:33):
And then the reason why you want to follow me
on X is because you know, after I'm done recording
an episode of the Narrative Podcast automatically gets uploaded X
because X is sent to this account. So as soon
as I'm done recording episode, it automatically goes to X

(36:53):
without any you know, effort on my end. It just
it's a feature on this platform. That is it. If
you happen to come across the link while you're scrolling
on Facebook or you know whatever little platform that you like, uh,
scrolling on Instagram or whatever, I probably had to manually

(37:19):
put the link Axcess the only platform besides audio podcast
streaming sites that my link appears organically, just like it's
just there all byself. But anyway, if you follow me
on X and sext your alerts, you will be notified

(37:41):
immediately every time an episode of the Narrative podcast debuts.
So yeah, to go check out the latest edition of
the Narrative Podcast, go to my x page which is

(38:05):
I Stay good at Hawsey Allen, you know after you
followed me, because then you will get your alerts and
then you will know what the new episode debuts. So
when you get your alert that a new episode of
the Narrative podcast is debut or IPE uploaded a new episode,

(38:25):
click on that new episode and when you click on it,
it should expand, revealing my podcast logo. And once you
see my podcast logo and my podcast logo is just
a set of whatever microphone that says the Narrat podcast
on it. And once you see that, I need you

(38:48):
to find the light button on it. And the light
button should be located at the top of the podcast logo.
It's kind of on it, like right on the silhouette.
And then click it click the heart shaped like button.
By clicking that like button located at the top of

(39:08):
the podcast logo, it should cause you a logo to
expand a second time. And when it expands the second time,
I need you to pluck the light button again, except
this time the light button will be located underneath the
podcast logo.

Speaker 5 (39:25):
And then comment on it.

Speaker 1 (39:28):
Comment whatever you thought about the episode, positive or negative, whatever,
feedback and desire give me. It's just like, you know,
you can engage me any type of the type of
way you want to, but just type something in the

you perform generates page clicks, the praise clix generates CPN,
there's a send CPMs generate the rever So like you know,

And after the episode is finished downloading, then click for share.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
But I share or upload that episode of the Narrative
Podcast to whatever preferred site that you like sharing or
uploading content to. That's how you support the Narrative podcast
from following me from x form to Twitter. Another way
you can support the Narrative Podcast to follow me on

you in advance, and that will conclude the promotional portion
of the narrative podcast. Now we're going to dive into
the broad overview of the narrative podcast. So the broad

(54:32):
overview of the narrative podcast, you're want to start with
the name. What inspired me to name it the narrative Podcast?
I was inspired because I don't like the false narrative

(54:56):
surrounding on surrounding the way our peeople's images and likenesses
are depicted across all media platforms were always depicted in
the negative light.

Speaker 5 (55:08):
So that's what inspired me to name my podcast the
narrative Podcast.

Speaker 1 (55:12):
I named it with that in mind. You know, I
made it my mission to change the overall perception, you know,
how are people's images and likenesses are received across all
media platform you know, and then attempt to change the

(55:34):
narrative Against the title the narrative Podcast, the first nuance
you should be acquainted with them listening to the Narrative
podcast is the term narrators. I coined that term. I

(55:56):
was aspired to coin that term by the text with
definition of the word narrator. A narrator is somebody that
tells or illustrates, tells, illustrates, or narrates the stories or
the audience. And that's kind of where I was going
with that when I adopted that catchphrase. And you know,

(56:25):
a narrator's job is really quintessential to move the story along,
move the plot points of the story along, and they
move it along by contentionualizing the story, you know, making
it easy to follow, easy to keep up with, and
then you can't you know, get lost or ever have

(56:48):
anything taken out of context. So you know, that's the
job of the narrator just to help, you know, accurately
illustrate what's going on in the story for the audience.
And kind of something that I use to kind of illustrate,

(57:10):
you know, what I mean by that is a phrase
I picked up somewhere.

Speaker 5 (57:15):
I can't quite remember where I heard it before, but
you know, kind.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
Of goes like this. If you don't tell your own story,
your own story will be told for you. That's what
the media is doing. They're telling the story of our
people for us. They're telling the story of ignorance, violence, laziness, deprevity.
They're paintings out horribly and that's why it's up to

(57:41):
us as a people to tell or narrate our own stories.
That's why we cannot control how we're depicted in the media.
With the media decides to, you know, share with the
rest of the world about we can control our own

(58:02):
spaces where we decide to share about our people and
our culture. So that's you know why I refer to
my target listening audience as my narrators. So now I'm
gonna breakdown how you can properly be a narrator. So
you can be a narrator by sharing positive frames of

(58:27):
references on your visual content platforms. So I'm a narrator,
I'm in the audio space. So every episode of the
narrative podcast that you're listening to in audio format, I'm

(58:48):
sharing positive frames of reference about our people and our culture.
So I'm changing the narrative on my in one episode
at a time. So as a narrator, what you will
have to do is change the narrative on your end

(59:08):
on social media post at a time visually, so you
can share visual images of our people's images and likenesses
us you know, doing or engaging in something positive. So
not just something positive, something positive that directly, you know,

(59:34):
destroys a negative.

Speaker 5 (59:38):
Stigma and stereotype about.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Our people and our culture. So say, for instance, there's
a negative stereotype about our people being prone to violence,
you know, very aggressive, prone to violence, dangerous or whatever.
You can show use your you know, visual platform to

(01:00:02):
demonstrate that our people are not violent by showing us
in instances where we're diffusing and de escalating violence, or
just being in a good space, enjoying each other's company,
like a festival or an outing and nobody's getting hurt

(01:00:24):
and everybody's having a good time, you know, things of
that nature.

Speaker 5 (01:00:29):
To destroy that negative stereotype.

Speaker 1 (01:00:31):
There's another stereotype, negative stereotype, our people are unintelligent. You
can destroy that negative stereotype visually by you know, sharing
or showcasing somebody on your visual content platform, especially if
you're content creator excelling academically, and if you can't think

(01:00:56):
of any of those examples that I named, Like one
of the most you know, prominent ways that you can
change the narrative as a narrator visually is just to share,
you know, images of you being happy, enjoying life, living

(01:01:17):
your best life, being in a good space, because you know,
when you put that message out that you're unfazed, unbothered,
and you know, can take whatever life throws at you.
That's sending a message that's you know, trickling down into

(01:01:41):
you know, the blogger sphere and social media that you
know that I'm san tentoes down and they hate that.
The people that design the media hate that because it's
just like it throws a huge monkey.

Speaker 5 (01:01:59):
Rich in their playing.

Speaker 1 (01:02:00):
Just like dang, everything we did to destroy these people,
it's backfired. So it's like back to the John board
for them, you know. So that's how you can be
an effective narrator on your end. The next keyword core

(01:02:23):
things should know about or be aware of when listening
to the Narrative podcast is I refer to our people
black people here on this platform as original people as
opposed to black. I can give you a whole like
thesis is I'm black and all that. But I'm just

(01:02:45):
going to go over a few reasons why I refer
to our people as original people on here. I feel
that word is more true to us as a people.
And then also we can all you know, it applies
to all of us living everywhere all around the world.

Speaker 5 (01:03:09):
So I'm gonna start, you know with one of the
most basic.

Speaker 1 (01:03:18):
Things about the actual word original, how it's appliable to
us as a people. The word original kind of hints
at being unique, one of a kind, you know, original, genuine,
you know what I mean. So that describes our people perfectly.

(01:03:42):
There's nobody more unique and one of a kind than
our people. You know, we make strides and everything we
do the entire world follows after every trend we sit.
We are the gay keepers are cool enoughhing scored trending
unless we say so, and everybody looks to our people

(01:04:06):
to determine, you know, what's hot. Everybody is influenced by
our people, whether they want to openly admit it or not.
A lot of people say they don't like our people,
black people, they hate black people, but you know they're
steadily influenced on our music and everything we provide, you know,

(01:04:27):
as a people. So yeah, we're original in that sense
of the word original. Also hence that being the first.
So there's the historical you know, reference on why that

(01:04:52):
the word original was an accurate description for our people.
We were and are first. We were the first people
to ever exist in the entire world, who existed thousands
of years before any other group of people in the
entire world. Now only do we exist first. Pretty much
everybody in the world was descended from our people because

(01:05:15):
we was here first.

Speaker 5 (01:05:16):
So everybody got a little bit of us ended, whether
they want to meet.

Speaker 2 (01:05:22):
It or not.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
We mothered and fathered civilization. We were here first. We
were the original everything we originated. All modern day inventions
and modern day conveniences was all, you know, created by
our people.

Speaker 5 (01:05:48):
We're all original in that sense.

Speaker 1 (01:05:50):
We were the original teachers, scholars, philanthropists or philosopher's partner, chemist, scientists.
We originated all forms of learning, enlightenment, religion, spirituality, everything.

(01:06:10):
We invented everything. We built everything originally, So we're original
in that sense of the word. And so now since
we're on the subject of history, I want to take
this brief time to obliterate its false slave narrative that

(01:06:37):
they keep on running with. Now, what this platform is
dedicated to doing, as well as providing positive frames of
reference about our people and our culture, is destroying you know,
false narrative. So you know, every episode I try to,
you know, kind of chip away at the false narrative

(01:06:58):
of slave, what it symbolizes, what that means, being accuracies
and the hypocrisies behind it, Just to share, you know,
people recording history how.

Speaker 5 (01:07:14):
They go out of their way to insult our intelligence.

Speaker 4 (01:07:19):
With this.

Speaker 1 (01:07:22):
Slave men. So I'm not saying there wasn't a time
period where our people, original people were not enslaved, but
they want to highlight it as being the most definitive
part of our existence as original people. And it's just,

(01:07:42):
you know, it's pretty much a lie. They they they're
pumped faking with the slavery. They want to promote being fearful.
They want to promote being helpless and powerless. You know,
that's what they want to instill in this spot, promoting
you know, slavery. And so to our intelligence they say,

(01:08:06):
you know why y'all keep bringing slavery up. You won't
let us forget it. Everywhere we turn around, we got
a reminder of slavey, especially of those of us living
in the United States. But back to you know, some
false narratives about you know, slavery from one day, lie

(01:08:27):
about the route, you know, the time period, how long
it went on, white went on. It's just like it's
either a gross exaggeration or a complete lie. One of
the biggest complete lies about it is that they want

(01:08:51):
us to believe that we were all captured on slave
boats and distributed to certain areas on the slave trade routes,
like they want us to believe we owe our existence
to chattel slavery and you know, the diaspora and all that. Like,

(01:09:22):
like I just said in the beginning, we're original people.
So if we're here before everybody, all other groups of people,
if we were here first, does it not stand the
reason that we populated all these places that we now
currently reside before slavery took place. Doesn't that make more sense?

(01:09:49):
Doesn't it make even more sense that, you know, for explorers,
people like to explore like slavers were explorers. Wouldn't it
be easier for an explore just to who as a
slave owner or a slaver to just enslave the people

(01:10:12):
within close proximity to them, rather than going all the
way across the hemisphere to fixate on a group of
people living in Africa, just enslaved the people like close
to you that don't resemble you. So not saying that,

(01:10:33):
you know, they didn't go get people from Africa and
bring them to different regions of the world, But the
majority of us was already located, you know, wherever we're
currently at, especially those of us living in the United
States of America. They duped us the worst because they

(01:10:56):
just reclassified us and called it something else. We are
the original indigenous natives of this land. It belongs to
us and always has been belong to us. They drink
and duped us to assigning it to another group of people.
It's not even from here. That got them from Siberia,

(01:11:18):
put them up on the reservations and gave them land
and benefits, to put us on the plantation with some
enslaved Africans. And now they tell us, you know, we
don't have a sense of identity of who we are
or where we come from, when the reality is, you know,
exactly where we come from. God took and erased our

(01:11:40):
history and our ancestry, you know. So not saying we
don't love our African brothers and sisters. They did come
whose ancestors did come over here on slave boats. But
all of us didn't just get here on a slave boat,

(01:12:00):
you know. And that's true for our brothers assistants living
in the UK. It's also true for our brothers and
sistans living on the continent of Asia and all European nations.

Speaker 5 (01:12:11):
They were already there. We were already here. We were
already in all.

Speaker 1 (01:12:14):
Spanish speaking nations, all Asian countries, like who was already there?
Every island you can name list, he was already there.
You know. It was already in Australia. It was already
in the Caribbeans, the Bahamas, the Mediterranean, Russia, Germany, it

(01:12:46):
was like everywhere Canada, see who is already there? But
they want to just keep on promoting that they just
like we only existed because they traveled this long distance
to go all the way to Africa to get some slaves.

(01:13:07):
And that's just, you know, a laughable notion when you
think about it out loud. So not saying that they
didn't go get some that's the key word some Africans.
The lying about the numbers, the math matheing like knock,
knock it up, knock it off, and not to mention.

(01:13:29):
To this day, we haven't seen any actual physical hark
creep concrete remnants of slave boats. We've seen slave shackles,
we've seen illustrations of slave boats, but we haven't seen
any actual remnants of the slave boat. Now, we've seen

(01:13:51):
remnants of the arc in the Bible, Noah's Ark, we've
seen that We've seen Viking ships. We've seen remnants of
the fleet that christopergh Columbus had that he so called
discovered this land when he thought he was in India.
We've seen remnants of the Nana Opinion Santa Maria. But

(01:14:13):
we ain't seen, not now remnant of no slave ships. None.
We don't even know a slave ship's name. What's the
name of the slave ship? They ain't even documented what
those names. And that's all explorers named their ships. All
explorers named their ships. Every explorer that ever explored had

(01:14:37):
the name for the ship. Migellen had a name for
his ship. Lake Erickson had a name for his ship.
Every sporer you can possibly name had the name for
the ship. Why didn't she? Why no names of slave
boats ever surfaced? But you know, before I get too

(01:15:07):
far deep into that tension, I just want to, you know,
wake your mind up to some variables that they don't
tell us about when they're discussing slavery again. And the
reason why they promoted so much is to destroy our
self esteem, to stoke fear within us, to still psychologically

(01:15:34):
subjugate us as a people, to keep us enslaves psychologically,
and then also to divide in conquerens as of people.
They're you know, a huge divide within our culture is
because they keep on promoting the false narrative of slavery,
dividing us from our African brothers and sisters, you know,

(01:16:00):
because currently it is a war or spewing on. I'm
not gonna touch on that today, but you know that's
primarily the reason why we're sould the body is because
of that farson narrative of slave. That's all I want

(01:16:21):
to say. Now, moving right along. The last but not
least I refer to our people as original people here
on this platform, is to really unify as as a
people because there are so many different types of people
of our people, with so many different variations and variants.

(01:16:46):
But still we're one people, regardless of what we self
classify each other as ourselves as view each other, and
we're still organically the same people. The same lifeblood flows
through us. You know, we were here first. Definitely, we

(01:17:11):
can all chase our origins back to the original point
of origin for all civilization. Now we're going to argue
and debate about where the original point of origin for
our people was to you know, it's just never going
to get resolved every fast fashion. It's going to bring

(01:17:32):
their receipts. You know, people that say we was over
here in America, they're gonna bring their receipts. People say
that Africans they're gonna brain their receipts. We're just we're
never gonna solve that debate. But whatever side debates you on,
we all can trace something is back to the original
point of origin. And then not only that, we all

(01:17:57):
faced the same systemic plight. You know, it's it's exact
same for us systemically wherever we're located in the entire world.
So it's the same for us here in America as
it is for our brothers and sisters living in uh

(01:18:19):
you know, the UK, you know, same plight. Ah, it's
the same for us Haiti as it is in you know, Nigeria,
same thing they deal with, you know, in the Islands

(01:18:39):
the Caribbean. Same thing as people in Spanish speaking our
people in Spanish speaking nations, they spite the same monster.
So you know, you gotta unify us as when you
do the nighted people. Now you know, all skin vote

(01:19:01):
and you can't vote. Sometimes delineation is necessary for the
advancement and progression of your people, but to delineate from
people trying to retrogress and prevent your growth. But you know,

(01:19:22):
as a whole, we need to bring it in and
stand in, you know, hunising and on one united front.
And I feel the term original will do that because
it's you know, it's a universal word we can all
use to describe ourselves that applies to all of us.
University like lineages, there's no forgiving space with that. There's

(01:19:46):
no forgiving space for nationality, but there is a forgiving
space with original, and it applies to just only Black
people because like a white person could say they're African,
you know, a white person could say they Jamaican.

Speaker 5 (01:20:03):
A Chinese person could say they Jamaican.

Speaker 1 (01:20:07):
You know what I'm saying. But the term original really
only applies to just the people that was here first.
And we're the only people you can say we was
here first. So that's why I refer to our people

(01:20:31):
as original people here on the their podcast, moving back
mong Near the podcast is a positive safe space for
original people. Everything discussed on this platform is all positive, uplifting, inspiring, motivational,

(01:20:52):
all that I don't promote endoor stamp negativity, detegration, gossip, slander, towards.
Our towards are about our people. I try to use
this platform to edify and uplift and magnify our people
in a positive light. So yeah, that's what narrative podcast

(01:21:15):
is all about. So no name calling, no slander, no
put downs, no musling, and no none of that. No roasting.
Well I do roast a little bit, uh, but it
only applies to people to try to harm our community

(01:21:35):
because all skin folk and you can't vote, so you
delineate yourself when you intentionally misrepresent our people. People that
intentionally misrepresent our people for monetary gain will get roasted
on this platform. Other than that, it's a positive safe
space for original people to celebrate us being original people. Last,

(01:22:00):
but not least, it's a time system the platform. I
try not to see one hour per broadcast. And the
reason for that is because you know, I want to
wrap it up. You don't got all day. I don't
got all day. I definitely don't want to make my
content stagnant and boring. I want to make an innovative, fresh, informative,

(01:22:22):
and also entertaining.

Speaker 5 (01:22:24):
Can't do that if I'm just talking and talking and talking.

Speaker 1 (01:22:27):
So That's why I try to really pride myself on
being time efficient, get to the point, straight to the point.

Speaker 5 (01:22:35):
I want to deliver the message, and I beat you
upside the head with the message.

Speaker 1 (01:22:40):
So yeah, that's pretty much everything you need to be
informed about when listening to the Narrative podcast. If you're
still in the grade space, I'm well over five one
hundred episodes, and you can bring yourself up to speed
download this episode and of previously recorded episodes up there
podcast wherever podcast sources from. Now we're going to dive

(01:23:01):
on into our very first section, which is the positive
news article to my first positive news article on this
week or weekday edition of the Positive of the Nark
podcast and my first positive news article. The headline reads,
seventeen year old triplets from New York make history as

(01:23:25):
Eagle Scouts and they are sisters. They are sisters that
are actually biological sisters. Helena DANTEA Rivers. Prove me if
I'm mispronouncing their names, Hanari Daniel Lisper Rivers, Hanayah d

(01:23:51):
Nali Rivers. So those are the three young ladies who
uh some years ago, like six years ago. This is
an old story in twenty nineteen they joined Troop four
point thirty. For girls to achieve Ego Scout status they had,

(01:24:18):
they were required to meet their marriage badge quota. They
received merit badges by performing community services, demonstrating leadership skills,

(01:24:39):
and performing routine camp makens so cleaning up, you know,
janitorial stuff. You know, that's how you beat a Egle
Scouts and Boys Scouts, Ego Scouts, all those are still
I feel timeless organizations to teach your youth life skills

(01:25:08):
because it's technology stuff. Now, how many of us every
single year, every single month, every single whatever. I don't
know how often you change devices? You know, how often
you get a brand new device, electronic electronic device, whether

(01:25:29):
it's your cell phone, whether it's a laptop, whether it's
a tablet. You gotta keep on getting technology every so often.
You gotta keep on upgrading your televisions. You gotta keep
on upgrading. You know, whatever electronic devices come out. Electronics
do not stand to test the time skills stand to test.

(01:25:56):
It's time. There are still covers out there, like people
used to like assemble shoes, like hard body shoes, like
dressed shoes with people that like make those. There's still
people to this day. That's been around thousands of years. Carpentry, Uh,

(01:26:17):
you know old school making buildings with bricks.

Speaker 3 (01:26:23):
You know.

Speaker 1 (01:26:26):
That those are timeless skills. So what I'm saying say
it all that to say Boy Scouts and Eagle Scouts,
they teach survival skills. You know, you're never not want
to know how to as long as they keep on
making button you're gonna need to know how to sol
button on.

Speaker 5 (01:26:43):
That's what they're teaching those organizations.

Speaker 1 (01:26:45):
They teach you how to forage for food in the wild,
what plants are safe to eat. You know, how to
you know, properly service yourself in the wild. Pause like
you know, how to go to the bathroom and take

(01:27:08):
care of that while you're in the wild.

Speaker 5 (01:27:10):
They teach that in those organizations. They also teach you know.

Speaker 4 (01:27:16):
What to do.

Speaker 1 (01:27:19):
When the wild animals, when when you're in contact with
the wild animals, how to keep it safe, self safe
from an attack, you know, drowning safety, swimming, hiking, you
know all those are time has been around thousands of years.

(01:27:40):
You need to notice stuff because it's technology can malfunction,
break and then whatever you're gonna do when something that
you rely on that's electronic, uh fails you. So, without

(01:28:01):
any further ado, please give it up for the Triplets,
the River's Triplets for achieving their Ego Scout status in
twenty nineteen. I haven't really followed, you know, I didn't
see any brand new information how they're doing now, how

(01:28:22):
that changed their lives, you know. But I follow a
lot of black stuff, and that just what popped up
in my feed and I thought that needed to be
you know, recognized and acknowledge. So please join me to
give it a warm narrative podcast round of applause to
the River's Triplets for earning their Ego Scout badge. So

(01:29:00):
next positive news article to headline read's black couple create
cursive writing academy to teach kids the arts form not
taught in school and the name of it is called

(01:29:27):
the Cursive Academy and the married couple's name is Terrell
and Chelsea Winnington. The launched a cursive handwriting program in Gary, Indiana,
creatively reintroducing cursive to children after learning it was being

(01:29:49):
dropped as a curriculum. So they want to preserve the
art of writing cursive and writing cursive is a skill,
you know, nobody prints their name. Even with all these
uh you know, electronical devices and all this, you know,

(01:30:11):
modern day technology that keeps on dancing, you still need
to know how to write cursive. You still need to
know how to write. I'm gonna get kind of you know,
philosophical on you, give a little metaphysical on you. Writing

(01:30:32):
is the key to unlocking the universal sequence. There is like, uh,
you know, some quantum aspects from writing, like most people
to talk about that manifestation stuff that's real, you manifested

(01:30:54):
by writing. Writing. They don't teach them in school anymore.
The good book in the book Good of Habacut says
wrights division to make it plain. So writing is essential

(01:31:18):
and they're not teaching that in school anymore. So you
know when they dropped the writing curriculum in school, that
prompted them to design and Taylor Workshop and the curriculum
under the brother of Cursive Academy via Chelsea's PR firm

(01:31:42):
c with PR. They're also funded by the YWCA. The
first academy, of course, began in June two thousand and
swat twenty twenty five, serving over thirty students in class
are held at organizations like y w c A when

(01:32:03):
the sponsors in northwestern or northwest Indiana, so they really

(01:32:36):
haven't launched the website. So there's no official Cursive Academy
website yet. So if you want to know more about it,
you can reach out directly to the Winnington winning teams.
I can't say their last name, winning teams w H

(01:32:57):
I T T I N G T O N be
an email at Chelsea Chelsea at cw WIT dot biz,
or call them directly at two one nine seven one
two three one eight two. And again that's the Curse

(01:33:21):
of Academy in Gary, Indiana. So you know, like Gary
Indiana is just like it's a little like a little
teeny speck in the world, but there was a whole

(01:33:43):
lot of greatness coming out of Gary, Indiana, out of
our community. Y'all don't know what about that is just
it's super dangerous now too. It's Chinese, it is it's little,
but it's powerful. It's kind of dangerous. But uh, there's
all kinds of the pocket of greatness that comes out

(01:34:04):
of that, you know region of the world. In the
United States, you had the Jackson family, you got Mike
Epps and a whole lot of other entertainers in our
community become a bout of gear. But yeah, go check
that out today to learn more out about it. Cursive

(01:34:27):
Writing Academy and Gary, Indiana. Uh, let's uh give a
warm narrative podcast to Terrell and Chelsea Whittington for launching
the Cursive Academy. All right, last, but at least a

(01:35:01):
last positive news article on this week the edition of
the Narrative Podcast. The headline reads, New Orleans author and
emergency dispatch An emergency dispatcher releases a cinematic urban novel
to inspire readers from broken homes to heal from childhood trauma.

(01:35:26):
And the name of the book is called No Matter What,
and it's spelled m A T T A what w
Love Beyond Pain. And the author's name is a sister
by the name Shaida A Shade Michelle.

Speaker 5 (01:35:51):
And so it's all in the title.

Speaker 1 (01:35:54):
I couldn't really find anything about her background. So she
obviously was a dispatcher and emergency emt. She obviously you know,
bounced reading connected from the dots, had a tumultuous childhood,
bouncing around, you know, from home to home. Most likely

(01:36:15):
was a latchki kid, probably was abused in her life,
used that pain to write a book.

Speaker 5 (01:36:26):
And is a current listed as an author.

Speaker 1 (01:36:29):
But I couldn't. I also couldn't find her a complete
body of work. So but she is writing, she's written
more titles from Google, they wouldn't list the titles or
so she might low key be getting shadow band where
you can't find stuff. We see articles like that you

(01:36:50):
can't find stuff follow up because they're like getting shadow bands.
So she might be giving away some jewels soot pope,
it's almost a form of free therapy. But anyway, please
join me into giving our sister Shaye Michelle warm nrit

(01:37:11):
to podcasts for sharing her experience with the world and help,
you know, being that inspiration for all other individuals going
through what she went through when she wrote that book.

(01:37:36):
All right, that to do it for my positive news
articles on this week the edition of the Narraty podcast.

Speaker 5 (01:37:42):
Now we're gonna wrap it up with my final section
of the Narrative podcast.

Speaker 1 (01:37:49):
This is now this section it's called my speaking points section.
And just to reiterate, I'm speaking about whatever's going on
in the news from the black perspective and the purpose
is to control the media or control the narrative is

(01:38:11):
the media have us looking and sound crazy. So you know,
that's what I'm going to be discussing today. Now in
the rare event I feel there's nothing in the media
worth discussing. What I generally do is replace it with
a PSA. My PSA is basically, you know, an observation

(01:38:38):
that I had, you know, just a personal observation about
what's going on in the world, what we need to
work on as a people. By we, I mean me too.
In many cases, it's me especially. But today we actually
are going to talk about something that has impacted our

(01:39:01):
community that's still kind of going on today. And it
went viral when it went on, and it's still kind
of going because the media don't let nothing die. But
we get right to it. It's about It involves the

(01:39:25):
passing of Paul Coogan, and you know, basically our you know,
as a community, our response to his passing. It seemed
like he was almost taking delight when he passed, you know,
less than a year after a racial rent in a

(01:39:47):
tirade that he went on the actual anniversary of it,
you know, not even the whole you know, year later
when he passed away from it. So like it's going
on still. So we've seen all the means and we

(01:40:09):
used to heard all the commentary and everything regarding about that.
So first and foremost our people, we are righteous people.
We do not take delight in somebody, you know, passing away.
We are respectable, but at the same time, were real
and we keep it real. So we don't buy our

(01:40:31):
timeus and we don't sugarcoat things. So many of us
expressed expressing the sentiments that we're expressing online, how we
feel about Hawkomi. You know, we expressed that while he
was alive, So he made all those statements when he
was alive, you know, so it's not like, you know,

(01:40:56):
the family hasn't heard him. It's so you know, that
would respectful to be respectful to the family member of
the grieving, and we get that, and we respect that.

Speaker 5 (01:41:07):
We sorry that they grieving started for their loss.

Speaker 1 (01:41:10):
But at the same time, this individual who was you
know kind of it was kind of dukes as youth,
as being like children, he positions positioned himself as a guy.
I get it. That was his persona that wasn't obviously
when we became adults we see Halkamani and all that

(01:41:31):
was just the persona telling kids to stay physically fit
and eat their vegetables and you know, have honor and
virtue and fair play and all that. You know, all
that was a persona that wasn't who he was in
real life. I loved him as an entertainer. I like,

(01:41:53):
I like, I like movies that he started. I grew up,
you know, watching cartoons. He had a cartoon called The
Rock and Wrestlers. You know, well he didn't voice the wrestlers,
but they have life. They would split it and have
live segments with him on that, you know, and he

(01:42:15):
created as an entertainer in the world of wrestling, something
that wasn't never done. He was basically like the first
wrestler slash rock and roll like. He had this same
impact as like like all the great rock and roll

(01:42:38):
white people like he was that as in wrestling form,
So like I loved it as an entertainer. One of
the biggest moments I remember in my childhood is when
he made a cameo or one of my favorite TV
shows with one of my favorite eighties icons, mister t

(01:42:59):
He have made the cameo on the A team Like
sixty year old me, I was just jumping on the
bed mister t and Hulk Hogan together.

Speaker 5 (01:43:14):
What like that was one of my favorite episodes.

Speaker 1 (01:43:17):
Of the eighteen But you know, it comes a time
when you have to put away childish things.

Speaker 5 (01:43:25):
So when he starts speaking ill on my people and
expressing all his.

Speaker 1 (01:43:32):
Sentiments, making it public how he really feels about black people,
you know, just f him, you know what I'm saying.
But I respect him as being a racist because he
stayed ten toes down. He didn't saunter, he didn't waiver her,

(01:43:54):
he didn't apologize for his racist rants. He's still on it.
He didn't try to explain himself. He says, I don't
like black people, and I respect that. He didn't hire.
There was a young lady before it's passing, he had
started a mat liquor company. She went up for the job.
He didn't get into it because she was black. He's

(01:44:18):
still on it. He's still on his racism, and I
respect that. I respect people. They can end on their racism,
they keep that same energy. Don't try to back paddle.
You don't have lawsuits fout on him. And he still,
you know, defiantly said if black people I f n
words hard are He kept that energy, and I respect that.

(01:44:40):
I don't respect these little weasley wimpy you know, white
racist people to try to you know, you know, when
you press him, then they want to switch it up,
and then they want to spin it, and then they
want to try to be the victim, like, nah, keep
this energy. Why can't you keep this same energy? You know?

(01:45:05):
So I respect the man for that, and he kept
the same energy. He once told his son, you know,
his son got in the car crash. He told his son,
your karma is to get come reincardinated as an ef
N word hard art. That's gonna be your you know, karma.

(01:45:30):
So that's how hardcore racist he was in life. Now,
my article or my speaking point, reval revals, I said
a whole lot about all Coogan, but the speaking point
actually revolves around Michael Rappleport, who is, you know, a

(01:45:50):
coaching vulture within our community. He uses black culture to
propel himself forward and being still harbors a secret animosity
against black people. And he's noted as being like mister
you know hip hop. You know. He says he's been

(01:46:12):
in the company of Tupac and Snoop at the height
of their career, witnessing meeting each other for the first time.
You know, he even got to start in starting through

(01:46:33):
an iconic, a cult classic, Zebrahead, and that's when the
doors of acting, you know, open for him. He was
like in the movie, he was a white guy listening
to hip hop. It's dating a black chick. That's why
they called it zebra Head. And that's what made us
air Quotes invite him too the cookout. And since we've

(01:46:54):
invited into the cookout, he ain't been did nothing but
make us really regret ever invite him to the cookout
to begin with, because yes, he's knowledgeable about hip hop,
like he got his favorites. He knows about the origins,
the you know, the artistry and all that. But at

(01:47:18):
the same time, just because you talk that talk, don't
mean you walk that walk. So he gets on this
platform and tells people to quit being disrespectful to hau Kogan.
You know, the family's grieving Da da da da da.
And then so people within our community they start clapping

(01:47:42):
back at him, Cameron my son.

Speaker 5 (01:47:47):
And now that they clap back at him, he wants
to play the.

Speaker 1 (01:47:52):
Village idiot defense and be like, oh, I didn't know
he said all that racist stuff. That's why I did
the video anyway. Like so, mister Michael Rapp before it,
first and foremost, I'm gonna do you a huge favor.
I'm gonna tell you emphatically, shut the fuck up and
stay out of black people's business. To shut the fuck up,

(01:48:14):
stayt of black people's business, and try not to swear
on here. But I don't know a non cuss word
way of saying it. If you do that, you will
be all right, my friend. But nah, he always sitting
up there using this platform to say stupid stuff about
black people and black culture. He tries to act like

(01:48:36):
he's stupid when he's saying it, like you just misspoke.
But in reality, you know, that's how he actually feels.
Our imitates life. You know, he had a little exert
and Friday after next where he played a mail carrier
and he was having a you know, a racial exchange

(01:48:59):
with Ice Use character, and you know, within that we
saw how it played out in real life. That's kind
of how it really feels about us. In real life.
You've been sitting up here amongst us, sitting up and
within our culture, using our culture to propel himself forward
as an actor, a mediocre actor actor at back and

(01:49:29):
reaped the benefits of being around us, of consuming our culture.
And so now even though that you apologize and you
ain't gonna forget that, you just not even less than
a year ago, you call Reverend Martin Luther King a Zionist.

(01:49:54):
And so when he did that, he took you know,
a whole lot of his h speeches our way out
of context to try to you know, fit that narrative
of Martin Luther King being designedst So I just I
don't get people like you. I get people like him,

(01:50:17):
but it's just like it floors me all the time.
Like you know, he was also in Higher Murder and
again our imitating life. This is how he really feels.
It really kind of makes me sit to my stomach
when people like him from that community, they can get

(01:50:39):
so offended by people within our community and then throw
around that little word anti semi when they feel a
keyword feel offended because they feel, you know, they offended

(01:51:02):
them in that way, but they ain't. None of them
never stepped up. You know how many tropes we got
in Jewish troupes we have in American film culture, like

(01:51:24):
documented films and TV shows where they're using the K word,
and that league ain't never went to any of the
directors or you know, studios that wrote and produced these
films that were derogatory against their people. Never never said

(01:51:50):
you can never produce films and halted production and you know,
prevented the circulation that the film is, pull it off
the shelves. It can never be shown again because we're
offended as Jews. Never but the minute a black entertainer

(01:52:18):
from our community scratched that a wealthy black entertainer from
our community says something that offends you, then their their artwork,
the artwork that they find offensive, Like if they're a committee,
it's usually comedians and rappers. If they say something, their

(01:52:44):
whole catalog is you know, torn down. They can never
you know, do nothing. They can't book no more new shows,
They don't get no more endorsements until they apologize. Not
only to till they apologize. They got to apologize the
way you want them to apologize, or they can't have

(01:53:04):
their career back. They gotta sit still, not get money
until you guys feel vindicating. But there's no repercussions for
people disrespecting our people, disrespecting our cultures. There's no fines,

(01:53:25):
fees and penalties for people disrespecting us and offending us.
But said all that to say, micro rap reports all
the time sitting up there offending our people, and no
consequences come to him. So we don't care about your
little week at week apology because you should have never
said it in the first place. Stay out of black

(01:53:47):
people's business, because's always doing it. He's always sitting up
there running his mouth about stuff that out. You know
what I'm saying. And then he said, well, I advocate
for this, and I talk about women's right when women's
leave in this community and that that community. And know
you don't, bro, you want to be an advocate and

(01:54:08):
activist so bad, But the key word is activist an
activists active and activists. You're not activist. You're not active.
You don't got no boards and committees and you know,
speak on you know, have ever gone to speak on

(01:54:29):
certain committees and organizing nothing. So miss us with all
that is, just keep your mouth shut, bro, because if
we ever say anything, if we ever been and say
anything online, believe me, we got the right to say
we're the own. There ain't nobody other group of people

(01:54:52):
that have got more done to them and taken from
them than our people. So you you know, when things
like that happen and our people say something, it ain't
the front from a place of disrespect. It's it's you know,
it's vindication. This is like, you know, we're not having

(01:55:15):
it no more. We're not going to just keep on
openly overtly disrespectful us and disregard yours. We're not taking
it no more. We never actually took it again, you know,
systemic that programming and conditioning it because they only want
to show us the clips that the one is to
show us.

Speaker 5 (01:55:34):
We've never not spoken out about being disrespected.

Speaker 1 (01:55:38):
But you know we ain't have any you know what
I'm saying, And people like micro rap report they need
to keep your mouth shut, you know, if you're not
going to do your due diligence we speak on something
that pertains or relates to our people being shut up.

(01:56:01):
If you don't, if you don't think enough to be
quiet and you know, process and let it jail before
you open your mouth. Just shut up, do your research
and like think about it from all angles and have
a relevant, you know, speaking point. If you're not gonna

(01:56:27):
do that, just be quiet. If you're coming from a
space of emotion and how you feel about it without
considering what our people have gone through, what our people
are to still to this day going through, then be
quiet because we don't want to hear it, and we're
gonna come for your ass. And Michael Rappaport is constantly

(01:56:56):
eventually all up in our business.

Speaker 4 (01:57:00):
So just do what you do.

Speaker 1 (01:57:02):
If you like the hip hop and rap music, I
don't know one rapper or hip hop parties they care
about you liking their songs. If you want to like
listen to it, go ahead and purchase it. If you
want to talk about the top five list, do all that.
But when it comes to our social issues, our flight,

(01:57:23):
if you can't join the conversation from our perspective, then
be quiet. The only positive thing that could actually say

(01:57:44):
say about him is it didn't take him five years
to apologize when he knew he was wrong. Took Black
five years to apologize.

Speaker 5 (01:57:52):
When he was wrong.

Speaker 4 (01:57:54):
This is.

Speaker 1 (01:57:58):
At least Michael Rapport did apologize a media but then
I think it's a apology immediately came over fear of
my soign. I think he's scared of my son as
it should be. But yeah, dude, keep your mouth shut.

(01:58:31):
Broquit bringing up our leaders in your mouth, you know,
if it's not from her all the way positive space.
If you're not promoting our movement, our struggle, our struggle,
you know, things we've gone through as a people. If
you're not standing in support of us, then just be quiet.

(01:58:55):
If you don't, you can't have no open ended discussions
as you can't have no open ended discussions about us
like you can't, like you can't. There can't be a
butt in there. And I believe black people, and I
stand to look black people and dad and that and
then but you know that butt can't never be in

(01:59:15):
the conversation. But can never be in the conversation. You
with us or you're not with us, The butt's in there.
We don't needed stay out of our business. So that's
my advice to ma a wrapper or keep your mouth shut.

(01:59:43):
Everybody's entitled to your opinion, but we're tired of hearing
your opinion. We are one hundred and ten percent seek
of hearing your opinion about our business. You can talk
about your own business, talk about your own community's business,
talk about just Jewish people. Don't throw us up into

(02:00:04):
it for an example. Don't use us an example and
illustrate your point. Just talk about Jewish issues, things in
the Jewish community. That's what you talk about. Don't be
sitting up there talking about our community and what we
need to and what we ought to when we shouldn't
talk about what Jewish people need to I to. We
shouldn't be that's it. Don't bring us nowhere into the equation,

(02:00:26):
will be I. So that's really where I'm gonna land
