Speaker 1 (00:00):
Imagine this, two of the greatest minds in Black history
locked in a battle of ideas that would shape the
destiny of a people. On one side, Marcus Garden, the
firebrand and revolutionary who declared of people without knowledge of
their past, history, origin, and culture.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Is like a tree without ors. On the other hand,
w E b.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
The Boys, the scholar and activists who believed that the
path to equality lay and education, integration, and working within
the system. This wasn't just an intellectual debate, it was
a collision of visions that continues to echo into day's
fight Black liperation. Welcome to the Revolutionary Yoby, where we
dive deep into the ideas, struggles, and legacies of those
(00:45):
who dared to change the work. Today, we're exploring a
clash between Garvey and the Boys with a nod to
know who Julie another pioneer who called them a soul
called negro to proclaimed their spirituality and their cultural But
here's the real question, where can their visions teach us
about our struggles? Dip stay whip because this is wanting
(01:09):
you through.
Speaker 3 (01:10):

of ancient cosmological sciences, and even the hidden truths behind
(01:55):
historical shifts. No stone is left unturned. So whether you're

a better future, we've got you covered. Join us for
bold discussions that educate, inspire and empower. Hit subscribe now
on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen, and
let's spark a revolution of thought together. This is the
(02:17):
Revolutionary Hour. Welcome to the conversation.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Let's start with Marcus gard.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
Garvey was unapologetic in his belief that black people had
to build their own world economically, culturally, and politically. He
founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association. The unia to promote
Pan Africanism is self reliance. He preached, rise up, you,
mighty race, You can accomplish what you will. Garvey didn't
(02:44):
just talk about empowerment, he acted on it. His Black
Star Line shipping company was a bold move to connect
the African diaspor economic But Garvey wasn't just about dollars
and cents. He was about pride. He told Black people
to see themselves as kings and queens, heirs to a
florious path, not victims of a story. Now contrast that
(03:09):
with W. E. B. Dubois. Dubois was a Harvard trained intellectual,
a co founder of the NAACP, and a believer in
the talented tenth, the idea that an educated black elite
could lead the way to equality. What he didn't expect
was that that talented tenth could be corrupted by the
purveyors of the system to mislead the following ninety percent
(03:32):
of black people. He also criticized Garvey's Back to Africa
movement as impractical, calling him the most dangerous enemy of
the Negro race. Fast forward to Liberia, But Dubois wasn't
against liberation. He just believed that the fight was within
the system. For him, integration and education were the keys to.
Speaker 2 (03:53):
Break it down burials.
Speaker 1 (03:55):
And then there was nobuju Ali, a figure who is
often left out of these commonsas but was justice revolution.
Juli taught that the soul called Negroes weren't lost people,
they wars heirs to a crowd and ancient heritage. He
emphasized spiritual liberation, saying no dicecel and you will know
(04:15):
the universe. Juai's more science Temple of America challenged the
very labels used to define black people. Like Garvey, he
called for pride, but his approach was rooted as spiritual identity.
Here's the thing. All three men were fighting the same
battle against systemic oppression and internalized inferiority, but their strategies
(04:37):
fractically different. Now let's bring it to today. Think about
the racial wealth gap. Garvey's call for economic independence still
his home.
Speaker 2 (04:47):
Black owned businesses are on.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
The rise, but systemic barriers persist, from discriminatory lending practices
to gentrification and devoce. His belief in education and leadership
still resonates. But what happens when even educated black professionals
face glass ceilings and microaggressions in corporate America.
Speaker 2 (05:09):
Then there's identity.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Ju Ali's teachings on reclaiming heritage feel more relevant than ever.
Movements like afrocentrism and the exploration of ancestral spirituality are
helping people reconnect with their roots, challenging centuries of eras.
The parallels are clear. Whether there's Garvey's economic empowerment, du
(05:31):
Bois integrationist vision or Juli's spiritual awakening, the fight for
liberation of teens. The tools of oppressure may have evolved,
with the battle remains the same. So what do we
take from this class of vision? Garby, Dubois and Juli
didn't agree on everything. They disagree on a li but
(05:55):
together their ideas form a blueprint from liberation. Remind us
that this fight isn't just about tearing down system. It's
about building something better. It's about reclaiming our identity, our history,
and our pouty.
Speaker 2 (06:10):
As Garb said, why's up, you, mighty race. You can
accomplish what you're with.

Speaker 1 (09:06):
Welcome back to Revolutionary Y Hour with the podcast where
we dive into the darkest corners of power and somehow
found the punchline of Diddy's Punchbowl. Today we're serving up
a scandal sound, one slice aver company, once Slife Did,
and a whole lot of Spicy Baby.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
You are you in the middle?
Speaker 5 (09:23):
Ah?
Speaker 2 (09:24):
You heard that right?
Speaker 1 (09:25):
Buckalop from corporate fashion needers with a pincher for exploitation
to music Margos, Who's wild King Knight? Sound like a
plot of a rejected porn of video. We've got it
all and hey, before we get started, smash that light, buddon,
follow us, hit that notification bell and share that episode.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Don't be stingy with the laughs. Let's go viral together.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
Let's start with Mike Jerffons, the former CEO of Apple
Come being fitched, The man who made you feel like
you couldn't wear their clothes unless you worry walking against
the gram filter or fake just like those Kardashians. It
turns out Jeffries was also running aside hustle. Allegedly, between
two thousand and eight and twenty fifteen, Jeffries and his
(10:07):
partner Matthew Smill reportedly operated an international sets trafficking ran
their pitch A kid want to be a model? Translation
A kid I got candy in the back of my
Scooby Doo band. These guys weren't just.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
Promising modeling years.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
They were coercing young being into auditions and by auditions.
I mean auditions, think casting couch.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
You forget.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
According to reports, victims were flowing to Jeffreys' mansion. Whether
the course screamed early two thousands, apricomby catalog. Imagine soft
lighting strategically placed, bare skin and probably a bottle of
applecomb be signature colaned every corner. Now, I'm all for
a good joking the joke, but jeffries defense team claims
he can't be held accountable because he's suffering from dementia,
(10:57):
and earlier on said Alzheimer's. So you mean since he
can't remember the crime, there's no way he can be
held liable. Look, I'm not saying he doesn't have dementia,
but this is pretty convenient timing when you say so.
The man spent years crafting exclusivity and now his memories
(11:19):
are too exclusive for him. Let's talk complications. If the
dementia defense holds, it could mean leniency in sentencing or
even the inability to stand trial. But come on, if
Mike Jeffries can recall how to color coordinate they barely
legal model line up, he can probably remember a think
or two about those auditions. Justice as it's a brandpa
(11:43):
at the dinner table, asking if you're his niece, it's
supposed to be sharp, unforgive it and allergic to selective amnesia.
Now on to Dick Shy calls, Puffy love, whatever the
hell he's calling himself these days, thed he's got lawsuits
piling up like he's connecting them for a scavenger. But
the woe grabbing the headlines embossed his alleged wold came
(12:07):
knights pitch it. This sessmon shades after these X force participation. Man,
that sounds like fifty shades of nope. And let's not
forget the swirling rumors about Diddy and meet Meal.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Look, we're not here.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
To judge, but it's hard not to side out when
these whispers come with baby Ord and then there's will Smell.
The man literally had to tell people to stop tying
him to Diddy and baby Yiler in the same sentence.
And what's true?
Speaker 6 (12:37):
You know?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
And I've been seeing y'all means and stuff you've been
making means I've seen amazing.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I said, no, some of my stuff is funny, some
of us funny.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Uh, but I haven't.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Addressed any of this publicly. But I just want to
say this very clearly. I don't have to do with Puffy,
So y'all can stop.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I do enough with my own. Come be putting me
in other people.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I ain't no man in that man.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I ain't did none of that stupid So whenever y'all
hear it, if somebody say that it's a damn line,
I don't even like baby oil.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I mean, how do you even make that announcement with
a straight face. Here's the zinger. Imagine ever come be
branded baby oil? The tagline rights hisself. Smooth enough for Diddy,
exclusive enough for Jeffries. You're welcome in in it, yad out.
(13:45):
So what do ever come be in? Diddy have in
common assigns and terrible judgment. Both exployded power and influence
to manipulate vulnerable people. Jeffreys dangle modeling gigs, Diddy throw parties,
well the price of admission, wish your dignity. One preyed
on young male models, the.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Other allegedly coerce employees and associates.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Different tactics, same game. Now let's talk about media attention.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Why is it that Diddy's story got wall to wall
coverage while Jeffries case barely managed to pop up on
the radar.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Could it be rapist?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yes, said with a black marble like Diddy stumbles. The
media practically throws a parade of shame. But Jeffries, the
man built the empire on exclusion and exploitation, then allegedly
upgraded the trafficking, and it is treated like a footnot
The double standard is about a subtle Abracumbri's cologne and
just to suffocate Meanwhile, society sitting here like, oh, Jeffries,
(14:45):
old baby, he didn't mean it. Really if dementia makes
you forget your crimes, but remember the flight ier rations
for your models, We've got bigger problems. The contrast here
is sharper than Diddy's baby or your game. And trust me,
that's saying a lot. What do these cases teach us?
Power corrupts, whether it's in the boardroom or it's in
(15:06):
the recording studio. Unchecked power leads to exploitation. We need
to hold everyone accountable, whether they're wearing a three piece
suit or a pair of sagging jeans. And here's where
you come in at like this episode, follow us, share
it with the family and friends, and hit that notification
bell so you don't miss our next takedown of corporate
(15:27):
America and celebrity culture. Together, we could keep the spotlight
where it belongs on the people abusing their power. And
let's not forget this is exactly why Luigi mangion Nate
is seen as a hero, because he was busy helping
my son with his Trumbone lessons at my house in
Corpus Christi.

Now on to Dick Shy calls, Puffy love, whatever the
hell he's calling himself these days, thed he's got lawsuits
piling up like he's connecting them for a scavenger. But
the woe grabbing the headlines embossed his alleged wold came
(12:07):
knights pitch it. This sessmon shades after these X force participation. Man,
that sounds like fifty shades of nope. And let's not
forget the swirling rumors about Diddy and meet Meal.
Speaker 2 (12:22):
Look, we're not here.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
To judge, but it's hard not to side out when
these whispers come with baby Ord and then there's will Smell.
The man literally had to tell people to stop tying
him to Diddy and baby Yiler in the same sentence.
And what's true?
Speaker 6 (12:37):
You know?
Speaker 5 (12:38):
And I've been seeing y'all means and stuff you've been
making means I've seen amazing.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
I said, no, some of my stuff is funny, some
of us funny.
Speaker 1 (12:47):
Uh, but I haven't.
Speaker 5 (12:49):
Addressed any of this publicly. But I just want to
say this very clearly. I don't have to do with Puffy,
So y'all can stop.
Speaker 4 (13:05):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
I do enough with my own. Come be putting me
in other people.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
I ain't no man in that man.
Speaker 4 (13:11):
I ain't did none of that stupid So whenever y'all
hear it, if somebody say that it's a damn line,
I don't even like baby oil.
Speaker 2 (13:24):
I mean, how do you even make that announcement with
a straight face. Here's the zinger. Imagine ever come be
branded baby oil? The tagline rights hisself. Smooth enough for Diddy,
exclusive enough for Jeffries. You're welcome in in it, yad out.
(13:45):
So what do ever come be in? Diddy have in
common assigns and terrible judgment. Both exployded power and influence
to manipulate vulnerable people. Jeffreys dangle modeling gigs, Diddy throw parties,
well the price of admission, wish your dignity. One preyed
on young male models, the.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
Other allegedly coerce employees and associates.
Speaker 2 (14:05):
Different tactics, same game. Now let's talk about media attention.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Why is it that Diddy's story got wall to wall
coverage while Jeffries case barely managed to pop up on
the radar.
Speaker 2 (14:19):
Could it be rapist?
Speaker 1 (14:20):
Yes, said with a black marble like Diddy stumbles. The
media practically throws a parade of shame. But Jeffries, the
man built the empire on exclusion and exploitation, then allegedly
upgraded the trafficking, and it is treated like a footnot
The double standard is about a subtle Abracumbri's cologne and
just to suffocate Meanwhile, society sitting here like, oh, Jeffries,
(14:45):
old baby, he didn't mean it. Really if dementia makes
you forget your crimes, but remember the flight ier rations
for your models, We've got bigger problems. The contrast here
is sharper than Diddy's baby or your game. And trust me,
that's saying a lot. What do these cases teach us?
Power corrupts, whether it's in the boardroom or it's in
(15:06):
the recording studio. Unchecked power leads to exploitation. We need
to hold everyone accountable, whether they're wearing a three piece
suit or a pair of sagging jeans. And here's where
you come in at like this episode, follow us, share
it with the family and friends, and hit that notification
bell so you don't miss our next takedown of corporate

America and celebrity culture. Together, we could keep the spotlight
where it belongs on the people abusing their power. And

my son with his Trumbone lessons at my house in
Corpus Christi.
