Greetings, greetings. Welcome to another episode of Truth to the Power. I am your host, Travis Midnight. And tonight I want to talk about being, continue to be in focus on our goals, right?

So, and eliminating distractions. This can be the title of the show, eliminating upcoming distractions. And what upcoming distractions do we have, might you ask? Now, unless you've been living in Iraq, the last few months, I'll be getting tired and having the United States.

We have had COVID, we have had open by supremacy, taking this full ship, in a very demonic form, and in a midst of it all, believe it or not, really been producing justice as black community. And guess what? We didn't have to go to one ballot box. We didn't have to talk to one politician.

We didn't have to do a meditate. What we did, we took upon ourselves and told the people that you are going to give us justice or else we're the mess of power economy. You are going to give us justice or else. They have been white supremacists, they have been trying black people, and they have been getting me in respect.

They've been getting me as ripped, beat, shot at, and I want people to understand something. We are not at the end of the beginning, we are not even at the beginning of the beginning, we're almost at the beginning, we're just getting started. Now, our goal is to get reparations. That's our goal.

To give reparations across the board. We want black empowerment across the board, and that means eliminating white supremacy across the board. Because what we've been able to do, and what we've been able to demonstrate is that if you push us further, further, enough, or far enough, should I say, that we'll get busy, we'll get busy and we'll give results on our own. And in majority black cities, such as New Orleans, and I've been being a drum-bodel, and being a documentary about it, where we got black leadership in these black cities, and these people don't speak the language of the majority in the city, then it's time to get to the fuck about it.

Point blank period. It's time to get to the fuck about it now. Now, I've been screaming at black people in New Orleans, I've been screaming at them, I've been saying, listen, you are 60% of the population. What the fuck is that be scared of?

Obviously, you are not afraid to shoot at each other, but you're afraid of both of these white supremacists and get they mind-wright. Shout out to Susan Park, own a map for all the wrong-down reasons. Shout out to Susan Park, shout out to Kennum, let the shooting of a black party. When they come to these white supremacists, you all like a few, you act like you don't know how to ride them, but you should have a black party for the black people.

Now back to what I was saying, though, I digress. I got a little bit heated like that because Susan Park holds a special place in my heart for some reason, I don't know what their reason is, but they hold a special place in my heart. But back to what I was saying, now, we've been able to produce justice without politicians, without going to the belly-box, without voting for the president of the United States, and we've been able to produce justice. We've been able to do that on our own.

This, this is what a revolution taking shape looks like. This is what it looks like. This is what it looks like. On the horizon, we have some upcoming distractions.

We do, but those who are sports fans, I particularly love boxing. I probably won't be watching the science this year, or the time rather, until we get to the white supremacists about the fucking building, and I'm talking about Drew Brees as we, have some upcoming distractions, such as basketball and football season. And I know some people are sent themselves, well, damn, you don't want us to watch football and basketball because once you do, and if you look at the word sport, the word sport really means a waste of time, where you really look at it, you know, it really means to just sit and waste time, time, waste of things. But the upcoming season, we got to make some sacrifices because when it comes to reparations, or the things when another guy, that's a bull, fuck the Super Bowl, give us those reparations.

And I'll send it right here right now. Fuck, that's Super Bowl. Fuck another Super Bowl ring, fuck a basketball ring, fuck all that shit. Because these black athletes in the wallies, they have had the opportunity to come back and do great things and they have not.

And they still could because to be honest with you, we the fans, we are what makes the New Orleans Saints. We make the pelicans. This is a majority black city, our culture, the way we could boom, the way we talk, is all built on black people, even a place you work. What do you think about like this?

What about this? The place that you work right now, here I work right now think about it like this. Probably not what you think about this. The place that you work right now.

All of the people that may be in charge, may be white, correct? But all of the people that actually run the business, are black people. The people that operate the business are black people. Now think about this.

Let's just say hypothetically, I'm not saying no names, but let's just say on Major Hospital in Louisiana, there was buying up everything, and plied a whole bunch of black people, right? But all the people in charge were white. And they had one black person at the top, as a token. But for the most part, all of those people were white.

And let's say also that those people that actually operate the business, dropped out and formed their own hospital, in which they operate the business. They operate all of getting all the medical tools and everything else. And they open up their own spied, their own medical facilities, their own spied. For black people, specifically for black people.

And black patients kind of say, as we know from news reports and other social media videos, that hospitals really aren't interested in saving black lives, black children lives, and we have a lot of white supremacist nurses, a lot of white supremacist doctors, they're just aren't interested in saving black people lives. And we're discovering it now. So let's just say those black people, start their own stuff for black people, specifically for black people. How would that business, get those black people all out there once?

How would that hospital be able to operate? How would it be able to function? When you're the people that operate their business. Okay?

And also, let's say this too, what we're adding. Let's say that this business was really, this hospital was really what are you away from showing off our hiring practices, right? Racism, cold break racism at the highest levels, and the lowest levels. Let's just say they've been so, what are they away from that?

None of this scares some people, but if you're scared to go to church, take out the church and have to double lock it, and don't bring the stereotypes back outside because we are in minimal war right now. And we don't scare people in the platoon. We are in a freaking war zone. We're in a war zone.

We don't need no distractions. We don't need anybody that is scared. If you're scared, take your punk and it's the church. And pray, take your punk and it's the church apart.

Now, once you've got to be very aware of that, be aware of upcoming distractions. Be aware of people telling you or trying to diverge the conversation from reparation and black empowerment to some LGBTQ shit. Bill reporter, Bill reporter, who's under this white man, who sleeps under white man. You know what?

It's always, you know what thing I just tell about? Mostly the LGBTQ niggas. And I just say it like that. One thing I would notice about the LGBTQ niggas is they mostly those, if they're black, like down in the middle, they're always hooked up or snuggled up with some white men.

And they're trying to talk about black empowerment. And then they want to talk about homophobia and the black community. Nobody cares that you're gay, but you're not about to get rid of them. They're diverge the conversation into some sexual, having sexual options and stuff like that.

No, it's a sexualized conversation. No, you're not about to do that. You don't have the authority to do that. Maybe you feel like the white man gave you authority, but you have no authority in black society to do that.

These those trying to convince you that fighting white supremacy, they're dressing up in a phone against a flip-flops. This is not fighting on goddamn white supremacy. The conversation is about black empowerment. And we're gonna keep it there.

We're eliminating all distractions that we're gonna stay focused, focus on the goal. And we will not be deterred by the upcoming football season and all basketball season. We will not be deterred by that. The conversation is black empowerment.

And we're taking down this metaling, the system of white supremacy. That's what we're gonna do. That's our focus. That's gonna continue to be our focus.

And speaking about focus too, I want to just back on this because I spoke about this a little bit. The goal is to shut up that party last night up and kind of, let me tell you something. Let me tell you all black with something. If you got a problem with a black person, I'm gonna need to put that shit to the side, put that little bit of shit to the side.

We've been doing white supremacy for two years, over 200 years, 400 years, goddamn it. And data apps. Now, if you want to kill somebody, you want to go somebody down, data apps. White supremacy's on apps.

But you're on a battlefield, trying to shoot down somebody with the same uniform as you. Just lost. Just lost. Shooting your ass off.

Not a good shooter, but shooting your ass off nonetheless. You don't hit shit, but thank God did it, hit shit. But shooting your ass off, want to run up on apps, the white supremacy's on apps at this point in time. We are at freaking war, we're white supremacy.

We're gonna keep on bumping until they are gone. Completely gone. This system has to be dismantled, and it has to be dismantled yesterday. We have work to do.

It's gonna be hard, but it's not impossible. Thank you guys for joining me tonight. I just spoke truth to power. Have a good night.
