Oh, yeah, I know you guys have been waiting. I know you have been. Hey, here we go Greetings greetings welcome to another episode of truth to power and the whole time it's midnight and tonight I want to talk about The John Tink for far stuff that got going on now now Before getting to that I really want to address some things especially in the state of New Orleans Just get to use. I don't know if you're here to beeping sound like I do and get there.

I just it right now Yeah, so I was on his own meeting with the black caucus and the urban lead the Louisiana and I must say I must say that it was very To say the least Underwhelming If I can say that now we got on a panel we were talking to a whole bunch of men most of which were attorneys by the way We talked about the running ring situation and I have yet to drop the fennel murders episode yet because I'm still trying to get some Get it all the way right for you guys Well, we'll be dropping as soon private simultaneously with this episode or tomorrow sometimes on the next day But I want to talk about and begin to talk about how we got compromised niggas And I just said the word niggas. Yes, and I don't like that word, but it just fits so many people appropriately right now We got them in positions of I guess power if you want to call it that so we were talking on this panel We're talking about the buying a green story If you don't know who run a green is run again rain is a guy Louisiana Thank Genes of Genes, Louisiana He was it's initially they say he died in the car crash But then come to find out as a family got the reports and I thought he was actually murdered taste by the state troopers and We were thinking about solutions to come over here talking about solutions. What are your solutions? What can we do?

Well, we got to talk to the Democratic Party and let them know who their feet to the fire Yada yada yada and I was asking questions like how do you expect to do that with John Bell? That was it Louisiana mr. Blue lies matter How do you expect to do that? How do you expect to do anything against this sophisticated white supremacist system by just adding a petition and not putting No skin in the game they kept on talking about the Democratic Party as if the Democratic Party was gonna come and save us No, nigga, no Democratic Party by the way to come save us and I'll put out that said we as black men are gonna have to rise up and take care of the Community and take care of ourselves that to see the least we don't get fears Was it nobody trying to hear that wasn't nobody trying to even though we had a panel of attorneys Nobody had a real solution or how we could bring These day troopers to justice or you know what let me say this they didn't have a sufficient solution But we gotta talk to the general but Attorney General holds the same white supremacist views as the governor does oh Well, they may be because I petition Petitions don't mean shit.

I'm a say this once again petitions don't mean shit You think if you have an elected say for example, you got 20,000 signatures on a petition Do you really think that this gonna change anything to his names on our paper? You have to be able to provide credible actions and credible solutions. You just gotta be now As we continue this kind of a skull of the black caucus in the ribbon league and you know what and let me say this too I'm cool with Mark Mario a lot of people may not Understand why because me and him have totally different ways of dealing with situations But I'm cool with him. You know why because When I was out doing the document in foreign politics as my Mario and said listen I say this is what I want to talk about beautiful me and well You have some valid points about some better solutions New Orleans the way it's going right now about to be gentrified out the city black people.

I want you come over here Give me some better solutions. I want you to get I want you to get on camera. I may have corresponded a remark about two or three times Mark said it okay meet me at the Ritz Carlton in Orleans in a gotcha Perfect timing perfect storm. He said I got you Otherwise I would have to flop the New York to do anything which I didn't mind because I've been in New York before I was on Caron Hundish so I didn't mind I love New York and you know He was right there Manhattan which I love to be but and I don't know police it mark was very down earth And he was you know very cool virtual He answered all my questions that I needed if you see the documentary I even got some footage that left out We're gonna walk on her market like more gave me like an hour and a half I think of his town Which is hard to get with a millionaire but in a formal politician and a current and a current president urban lead But the early within itself and I must say this is It's full of effemanized men.

I did not like what I was hearing on that conference call. I did not like what I was hearing Oh, we gotta go to the barbershops to get this petition signed The reason why you won't get the petition signed in barbershops probably super close or But in the hood you won't get no petition signed Is because they know like I know That they're just names on the papers. That's not going to translate into any Tangible actions against the stage troopers that murder mr. Wanna bring the black caucus is useless to black American people This is why we can't get anything passed in Congress.

Nobody possesses the backbone Nobody possesses the backbone and the people that do possess a backbone. They try to best tune them out Don't have drawn them out with their own cowardice. This is why we can't get anything done and Honestly at this point it's gonna come down to one person Making a movement again other people a group of four to five and then just branching off in the water That's the only way we gonna make it at this point. That's the only way I can see us making it at this point Because as the neck we're gonna be dead in water the agents are taken off from the disease people being gentrified out the otherwise Who in the world is east the last mecca or home for black American people and then Insights the injury we got black Americans under coming crime allegedly because you know how new others gets down We know how new others gets down.

We do now Let's get to the joint team force John team was recently made into a national holiday without any pushback and Some of you may be wondering why where's there no pushback from the John team being made to federal holiday? Well Because they got white people part and nothing I didn't like about the country I looked on the other to the group and they white people in the chair, but they weren't saying anything That's very interesting. That's nothing. I didn't like about the urban league so-called in black caucus zone meeting They have like a chad they were saying anything They were just listening interesting interesting That's what that's another thing I didn't like and nothing is we have a lot of you Now white people be a part of your conversations too much and put our conversation too much Sometimes I need to learn when it's shut the fuck up.

Just shut the fuck up in the presence of white people when you come around They talking, but oh, but after that and you know This is our conversation stay out Stay out of it But a lot of you have this whole palace of everything that you need white people to get you out the mess that they created They created the mess for a reason to keep you in it Somebody said I got racist boning a body. I need the money. I need to see a motherfucking get more asking shit Anyway as I proceed to give you what the fuck you need now They didn't have any pushback from from any white supremacist From any white supremacist in government and reason for that is they've already co-opted John Tint John Tint is for it's supposed to be for the freedom of black people And black people found out that they were free at the making themselves free at the net turn They had to tap us and heads at the more dumb VC had to get it popping a little bit and a whole bunch of us They were both even in Louisiana the longest the biggest labor vote in history happened all the way from as much as people Try to down canner Shout out to all the people in the world is this being gentrified out to all fucking neighborhoods But as much as people try to down canner Canner got it popping all the way from all away from our team and took it all the way down to the place That's how big the revolution was and They know in certain times about it White supremacist remember they do not don't think you may be asking yourself. Let's get back on subject John Tint maybe asking yourself who has caught up in John Tint Well No other than your LGBT cutement Now for those who know me know I don't get down this shit at all on that with their lifestyle I don't support the moment and it is point blank period.

You can hate me for it. I don't give it down That's just the way I feel they got too many wrinkles in the game They got too much bullshit going on over there on these side of the tracks That's a mention LGBT community is so oblivious to racism that a black woman Not oblivious, but so Delusional the black LGBT communities so delusional to their own racism that a black woman Got beat up at one of the white supremacist white LGBTQ community functions and then They'll be having a nerve to talk about homophobia in a black community Black people don't give a fuck a few home if you are homosexual We just don't want to bring that shit around us And when I say don't bring that shit around us I mean the only protest with that bullshit Because who you sleep with doesn't matter when you're out there in the world in your head blown up by race soldiers They don't care about race a white male has a better chance even if he's armed a survivor of police stop than a black male Even if he's on and fired at the police Shout out to those white kids up in Florida. We took a KK and just thought busting on police Shout out to them Shout out to them, but the point I'm trying to make is this Joining team to just a holiday certain things. We just can't start celebrating We can't celebrate certain things because of this Now they'll give you don't think but they don't want to talk about giving you reparations Because they know it just a symbolic gesture This is all it is.

This is a sophisticated system. That is white supremacy and a lot of people To my dismay don't understand it They just don't know where they trying to they're just comfortable Unfortunately, we're gonna continue to fight for reparations I'm going to continue to fight for brother Ronald Green because there's no that looks like it's gonna be a one-man mission in the waters because All the people that supposed to be a stew and supposed to be on top of this type of shit and on top of it And for y'all they don't know if you don't believe me. I won't be on top of it Yeah, go ahead and Jefferson Parish Sheriff Office who was front-line when they beat their kid up in Jefferson Parish And I got the emails to prove it.
