“THE USUAL SUSPECTS”

Greetings, greetings. Welcome to another episode of Truth The Power. I am your host, Tazni Knight. I'll soon be joined by my co-host.

I'm calling them the usual suspects. We are going to be joined by Jaz, who is a frequent collaborator, contributed to the show. And we have a new contributor to the show. Her name is Coco.

Hello. Greetings, Sannab. Hey, what's up? Can't keep playing.

Can't keep playing. We're waiting on one other person and then we'll get started. Okay. So listen to how it works.

Is that your conference call? Yes. I didn't know that. Hello.

Hello, ladies, Coco. Hello, ladies. What's your name? My friend Jaz.

She will be awesome. Okay. She should be honest. Very soon.

Cool. Now we'll just talk to you so well. Wait, you're starting over? I said she should be awesome.

Oh. No, calm down. It's okay. That's okay.

That's okay. Man. I got a lot of stuff going on with Coco. What's going on?

Jaz, are you there? Hey, they're even. Hey, how's it doing? That's China, AKA Coco.

AKA, Uber Coolio. She got a lot of monitors. She goes by. So let's just get right into it, guys.

So recently, there's been this movement called ADOS. It's called Africa, the Center, the Slaves. Basically what that is. It's black people finally being politically selfish and taking apart themselves to say, hey, we want reparations.

We want these form of policy just for ourselves and just for our people, specifically for our people. And we have an agenda to present to whichever party is willing to back our agenda. So I'm going to stop it. Jaz, what do you think about this?

I think that's great. I mean, I think that it's never too late to get what's due to you. And so as far as the political party is like, and this is my first time really hearing it. So is there a party that we're leaning toward that would be more likely to back us?

No, because both Democrats and Republicans, they're talking real crazy about this right now. Both of them are backtracking. Both of them are side talking. They're not really giving us a clear answer.

Okay. So whichever party is willing to back it, that's what we're going with. How you feeling? How you feeling, Coco?

I feel like that's a great idea, but honestly, which party going back? None of them going back. Well, why would you think they're back? I don't think they were back because we will be over too much.

We will be over too much and people ain't willing to pay that. And people are not willing to accept the fact that we are due reparations. So I don't feel like any party will back there. Well, George people, they got paid reparations.

Nobody bad. Asians, they get paid reparations as a matter of fact. Asians, they come over here with no credit history in this country and they'll get the $100,000 loan to start businesses. So, we're talking about Asians.

Asians in general, Japanese, Vietnamese, and able to set up a set of shops in black communities. That's true. That's true. I just feel as if the all of the political parties at the end of the day, it's about what they can gain more.

It's not about, I don't really think it's about helping people get their own. It's about what they can gain from it. And I feel like giving us reparations and can't gain anything from it. Anything you want to know, James?

I mean, I kind of agree with the fact that, you know, we already know that this is a hard battle. It's too many. We are the majority. So it's too many, even with the Asians, even with the Jews, it's still way more black people than it always was.

To hand out reparations. You know, but I think that everything has to start somewhere. And what better time than this, then to get it rolling, since we get everything else rolling for other minorities or quote unquote minorities and inequality. So why not?

Yeah, I definitely. How would they determine who is a descendant of slaves? I'm never kidding. I'm sorry, how would they determine it?

Well, one thing to propose and is that you got to go back to history. It's not because I think it's not hard to twist your lineage in this country. People think it's very difficult, but it's really not. Also, have you been classified as black?

Do you classify as black? Yeah. Or do you classify yourself as black? You identify as black because there's a lot of people believe it or not.

They look like us. They don't identify as black or don't want to be known as black. They only put that down on their senses. So that's one way we can identify.

Okay. You know, so that's what it is. I feel like if there's a lot of points for it or a push to get those operations. Cause I'm my reparations.

I want to my deal. I think we all do. But the thing is though, I'm thinking in my head, I say, I'm saying to myself is what I'm saying to myself is I'm like the reason why they really don't want black to go to reparations is because even when we got to quote unquote get it out the mud, we still thrive. A million people.

Yeah. Now imagine if we had the head start on the type of money that all the startup capital, the Asians are white people heads. Yeah, that'll be. Yeah.

Yeah. I agree. Everybody got a head start. But not only do we lack a head start, but we do.

When we do have to work twice as hard to get half, it's still just that half of you. You know, it's like it's amazing. I haven't seen a race. So impacted for 400 years, March this year, right?

Right. You know, but you know, it'll take everybody. It won't take black people. It'll take white.

It'll take everybody as a collective to be in its fight. Right. So, so moving forward, I was talking about like, I want to talk about black politicians. The reason being is because in my opinion, when you talk about people like a Barack Obama, who is a white supremacist in blackface.

Oh, man. Why do you say that? Because I mean, like nobody can't equivocally give me a difference between Barack Obama and Donald Trump. I would be alike.

That's what I would say. Because one of them, one of them, what I'm black and quiet about the things that he do and the other one is it. Why didn't? Wait.

So I, how, how are they, what do they have in common? I'm trying to, I'm trying to. They both are not willing to do it. They're not black people.

They both are willing to leave black people for dead. If I'm a pro, if I'm a pro, that during the Baltimore uprising, during the Ferguson uprising, then a whole bunch of things that black people did with during this presidency, and he did nothing. He just set on a sidelines and at one point he even called black people goes. I mean, I do feel like during those times it could have, he could have done more.

I do agree with that. But once I get a pain in the Donald Trump, I feel like you're going to look for a cool. Or why. Oh, because this man is a blatantly racist.

That man has no education about anything. I mean, I give Barack a little bit of class in the dollar. What do you have to say about the judge? They can be a couple of the records.

I think it's a little reckless to say that they're the same. Yeah. You know, I do believe that as a president, more could have been done, but at the same token, I think that it's a season for everything. You know, it's like a lot of us, because he's black and he puts Barack Obama on a certain black cut-a-suit that he didn't necessarily sign up for.

Thanks. You know, so we have to remember the man is still biracial. He was still raised by a white family. Okay.

His, his trouble is an African-American struggle. His father is African, not African-American. You feel me? Even though he's married to a street over that woman, now I feel like she's not selling at all.

That's my opinion. But just as a president, I think that something, either in season or out of season. And I think that when it comes down to the inequalities, he got the ball rolling better than any other president. Because Clinton, on a certain level, Clinton got his issues too.

And, you know, he had his foot on a black community too, but at the same token as a president, there were still some positives. So, question for both of you guys. Do you think that in some aspects of politics, that people practice, trickle down politics, meaning that they take care of every other race first and they hope and then whatever's enough, they trickle down to black people? So, that's all politicians?

Yeah, yeah. I think some politicians, I think some politicians do have the interest of black people in mind, I don't think all of them, but I think some of them do. I don't think black people are the last to get any notice or anything. Okay, I'm gonna come back to that, don't go.

There is, what do you think? I don't think that, I think it's either you, you would have said you're not. As far as the trickle down, I feel like there is no such thing as a trickle down. I just think that they don't think of us hitting anything, period.

You know what I'm saying? You don't think of us hitting anything or or you do try to help at some point, but it's not to a trickle down effect. I don't think that's the way I would put it, you know, as far as the things that we eventually, or what it appears that we eventually received, as far as assistance or handouts and all that. Not that we were really looking for handouts too.

You gotta remember, we're not the people that's looking for handouts. You just want what's old to us? So, it's like, either we don't need a victim or a victim. You can't be victorious by playing a victim.

So, if we want them to give and give and give, then when we're gonna just take account of this for what we at now and just get victorious. We can't play both sides. And I think there's a misconception in our community as to which role to play. And we can stop with the victim role, but we don't know how to cross over.

And just get to it. Yeah. At what point do you take accountability for what some of the things that where we are now at that? Taking it is, opening up black businesses, taking it is, educating, educating your community and reaching out to the kids, you know, that's taking it.

That's not waiting for somebody else, but white people gonna do it whether it's in their good intentions or not. Or other races, they're gonna do it whether they get in the text right over not. If it's in them to do right or it's not, it's still gonna get done. So we're gonna take back and wait for them to do it.

And then 22 decades later, figure out what to do and then figure out what to do with that was the wrong intent. Okay, who's on in there? Yeah. And at this point we have the means, the education, the intelligence to do our own thing with our own people.

So, we're speaking about taking accountability, right? In opening black businesses. How do you guys think we should go about giving our black people to support those black businesses what's to be open on? I think some of the community outreach is number one.

If we're not paying for ads in the market and the publicity, then it's out in the neighborhood. It's like all of that matters. You got social media marketing, it's like people underestimate marketing. Like when I was doing market, I was doing a lot of shows, and I'm going to still this year, but last year when I did, I'm marketing myself.

And I didn't expect anybody to share what I was doing. That was just me doing for me and trying to get the word out. Before you know it, it had been shared almost 200 times. People, I didn't even realize it had been shared.

You know, so it's like marketing, I was always posting the shoes every few days, every time I got maybe 10 shoes at a time to do, I was posting it and that's what brought my money. So marketing is very, very important and publicity. It's very important. But I think we in the zombie, the social zombie state, now our whole generation, we get stuck on Facebook and Instagram and we look at other people's lives and how they promote themselves and we can get to do that by ourselves, what we're doing.

The point. I also think that I think a lot of black businesses should cater to black people. There's black businesses that don't even cater to black people. They, because people have this idea of this notion of black, people ain't willing to spend money or this stereotype of a black person.

But I feel like, because I even know people, they have their own business, black people, that say, oh, I want to buy no black dollars, like seriously. So I feel, and I feel like a lot of people have that idea of that way of thinking. So I do believe black businesses should target black people and what black people view and what black people feel and things like that. Right.

What's happened with service is where I think customer service is a big deal of why people come back or why people support. You know what I keep hearing about customer service? Like, like as far as having bad customer service. What are you guys experiences with black people in their businesses as far as like?

I will never forget this one time. It's this black hair, because you know what I mean? I mean, it's the reason we age with, you know what not. And it's a black company.

I call, they literally answer the phone, which I am. What? Like, what? Who does that?

That's right. Number one, I said it's gonna go back in the winter, but I was still trying to support my people. So I asked somebody's price is rather than I go to the store. When you go to the store, they patch you down.

They, first of all, the doors locked. They patch you down. You cannot touch the hair. And it was just, it was very unprofessional and very just, it just wasn't right.

And it's like that. Like I think people have this stereotypical view of the black customer. So they have to treat you that way. You know what I mean?

Yeah. Yeah. But, okay, for my own people. That's interesting.

I know about that experience. Oh, yeah. As far as, I don't know, I think that when it comes down, we're not, there's been a boom of black entrepreneurship in the last maybe five years for the most part where we're really talking about it. And we're not gonna get it over the night.

You know, some of those businesses, they do like you were saying that the lack of professionalism or the assumption that you get a home and steal from them. You know, I think that that's a lot of it is just from their experience. I can't really blame them. Because I feel like we're not gonna get it over the night.

You know, they don't have the luxury of a small business to just take the details like that. Because at the end of the day, even though that entrepreneurship is at a high, a lot of us fake it until we make it, make it a steal. We don't have it like that. Not to give them a pass, but it's just a different perspective on why some of them do things that they do.

Now in our frustration from their emotional people, we like to say, oh, what else do this? And you know, that's why I like to talk black. No, all that's unnecessary. Just understanding that it's not gonna happen overnight.

Professionalism and now it's gonna happen overnight. Anybody go over the business, I don't need to dare a leader or a CEO or a boss. Right. You know, so it's like, I think that as a people, we should be a little more forgiven and understanding and realize all perspectives.

And if we wanna compare them to our businesses, they've gotta keep everything in account. Oh, boy. I know I made the right decision to put y'all on the show. Okay.

Yeah. So, so our next one is, let's talk about Kamala Harris. She's a president of Kennedy. She's running on Democratic ticket.

And she's getting a lot of black from the black community because they're saying that she's paying the rent? Yes, yes, we don't. And why don't we, so why should we trust it? I mean, I didn't trust anybody.

I was, that's not my answer. None of them. Right. I'm listening to me.

Mm-hmm. When I see a black face and then there's a black woman because, you know, feminism, black feminism is important to me. When I see that, then I automatically wanna root for them. But sometimes time happens and things come out.

So when it comes down to her, I'm not completely sold. I like the fact that she's black. I like the fact that she's a woman but I can't be blinded by what we like. You know, we gotta, we have to hold ourselves accountable and be put in people and looking for the fact that these people and the real, because everybody, everybody got a facade up.

You know, Obama had a facade up. That's the job. He had a facade up. He delivered hope.

Yeah, he did that. He didn't, well, yeah, he delivered hope. Did that hope turn into actuality and the things that he was talking about? Not everything.

Not all politicians can deliver. So with her, you know, this is a woman that, again, biracial, right? Right. She's a Jamaican, actually.

I'm a dachshua's nice. Yeah, she's a Jamaican. She's a life-in-dameican. Who's marital white man, right?

Right. So, you know, the, and I can go that away. I'm not knocking at it, but don't tell me that your struggle, who my struggles are gonna be your first priority when that's not the word you live in, immediate, your immediate word is not that. You know what I'm saying?

So that's why I can't necessarily trust her. I have more faith than a wishy girl named from the Bronx, the Latina that's in Congress right now. So, the court is? Yeah.

All right. The fact that she don't hold a hot sum. She don't mind ruffling her. I think she's perfect.

Yeah. Okay. I think I'm gonna be dead on the route too. And I'm gonna tell you why, because when she's there, her gender or anything, you know, with black people, she immediately says, oh, well, we gotta include Mexicans and other people in this policy too, when other people aren't going through the same struggle as us.

Listen, because that's her priority. We can't blame her for it. We can't expect her to prioritize us. And I remember seeing it and I felt some kind of way about it, but then I had to remember it.

So, you know, until we get somebody to look like us, that's how I feel. Even if you don't look like us, like, just deliver some kind of hope where somebody can trust you, like they can't even deliver hope. They can't even get past the first step to gain the black community trust in my eyes. So I like her because she speaks up with her people and she's not being a sellout by doing it.

We just need somebody for us. Coco? As far as Kamala, first of all, I ain't gonna show Marital white men. You were like, hell, no, no, no.

I don't think that. Hell. But I just feel like at the end of the day, okay, trust any of these people. Like, the reason why for the little parties were made was to divide and conquer just like every other categorical thing was made.

So I just feel like they're like, what can you do? Right? Well, one thing is you're gonna live in Kamala, Harry, she has a history of black women, she has a history of black and innocent black men, and even trying to keep them on their road, even though she has evidence that could overturn their sentence. Right?

So you're gonna live in that type of history and then you can draw conclusions like that. I feel like before, and I thought before, before I knocked her fully, I would like to think what she's doing, what she's going to say right there. Like, I was, I'm just, well, Coco, you don't even have to see what she's doing. You can always see what she's doing.

You can see what she's doing, but that doesn't mean you know what she's going. Yes, we do. She's trying to penalties and get out vote by saying she smokes weed and listen to Cardi B. Black people don't do that shit.

And I don't believe it. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. Whatever part of your, I don't believe it.

But that party or, well, not what I put it, particularly just that party, because I feel like you have to hear all sides of everything. And I feel like the problem is going to come in with, because black people are going to go just because she's black. I think that may be a problem because not fully understanding our story. And that's why I don't want to say, oh, yeah, I don't want to say that about anybody.

You can't say that until they read out the whole point and it's down to that one winner of a party. That's, you know what I'm saying? It's like, you can't really, you have to keep it all into perspective right now. People, you know, in the end of the day, it's all about your feeling and who got the better debate and who's talking about that, because none of them ever have to come through with the promise.

That's the fact though, that's not enough. They can say whatever they want, but they don't have to read enough. Right. So how can we hold everything to the fire?

I've been doing, I guess, progress. So I found, you know, beyond that, what do we do? Give more of us in there. We need to be educated politically and stop saying that's not our fight.

We need to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to vote. Because I know black people, that's okay with Trump because of the whole tax bright thing. They're making up, they were going to have a plank, you know, and they feel like Trump on his side because they feel like their need above all is financial security. And that's what he allowed, allowed it to them.

And so they were Trump. Okay. The individuals and what they really want. Everybody don't want to future.

Everybody not looking to the future and for more peaceful times. I've been looking for it right now. People that can deliver right now. But him, it was Trump because Trump got it.

That's it. I think the main thing is finding a candidate that can't be corrupted. That's the thing. Because everybody could go in there with a good hug.

You know, you want all this. But when they corrupt it, it's time to say when they compromised. Yes. You think you're going to compromise.

That's a job. Yeah. Well, nobody's about to be talking about it. We're going to be in the same situation.

Make 9 2020. Got it. I said we passed on by the same. 9 2020.

I'm coming. What is this? You know, politics. All that was designed to divide.

That's the foundation of this. That's the foundation. So until we get in there, I just feel like you're going to always be coming out of it. You get a pure soul in there.

That's really not a sellout. So then again, that's asking so much because to do their job, they got to sell out all the time. No, not speaking of sellouts. Cory Booker.

He's another president of candidate that's checking a lot of players from the black community. And a lot of black people say they don't trust him as well. Because when they're talking about a black agenda, he's talking about crime. Don't want to problem with that is black people, all black people don't come back to me crimes.

So, so, yeah. He has sellout because somebody put him up to this. You know, you have to remember that these presidents don't have the all power. They claim they're the most powerful and the most important person in the world, but get tired in the rest of the country, right?

United States president is the most important and most powerful. Hopefully that. They just have faces. Somebody else.

I mean, look at Trump Trump who's going to snoop this stuff, but I read on believe he don't have really true that we're in the country. But that's my opinion. Right? Well, he ain't running a country, but he ain't Indian.

Crazy. He ain't going to, like he's business smart. That's it. He's not even there.

He's got a whole reality stuff running in the country. That's why I want to. I think one of the biggest, I think one of the biggest policies I've ever told in the media is that Trump is business smart. Trump has run so many businesses in the ground.

He's been bankrupt so many times. A lot of corporations have been bankrupt a lot of them. The man still kicking the man still. The man still got businesses.

Every business ain't gonna fly. So that's what they call what they're talking about. When you, all of the businesses and you make a lot of money. They call it.

No, I don't think all of these businesses was right, but I do think the man is still a business man. You feel me? No. I can't take that from him, but he's an out of country.

Yeah. And you know, he's an honest, and what they, I can't say that I respect about Trump. He's an honest white supremacist. Like you can respect somebody like that.

They tell you who they are. That's what they can't respect. But I don't respect those people. No, I respect honesty.

I don't respect your. You know, you have to respect the trade in the first. You're going to be honest. You're going to be honest.

And that's what you supposed to be on is again at the same token. You want to come in down and truffle being honest. Nobody should be committed for being honest. That's what you supposed to be.

If you write it. Yeah. We got to stop committing people to being honest. That's what you supposed to do.

I don't tell who you are. That's the truth. But you know, everything. So the season is where we positions and we're okay.

We had out there because you know, you ain't lying. So I appreciate you for saying it. No. Like I'm for Bernie today.

That's what I'm supposed to go there. Mm. Okay. Um, as far as what?

We just talked about that. Go ahead. How do you feel about Cory Booker? Don't go back today.

How do you feel about Cory Booker? I don't know. I don't know. I don't know.

I don't know. My faith in politics and my faith with people coming through for us is slim to none. Like at the end of the day, like I said, you just got to, I guess, take, pick a poison. Pick one.

Pick one. What poison you want. And as far as, as far as I don't know, I'm still on the fence. Still on the fence.

I have no idea. You should be on a fence. It's so early. Yeah.

You know, it's like, I'm trying to think of it. I'm trying to think of it. Even if I'm getting a candidate that we can trust, we not going to trust. That's just easy to get trusted when you don't.

Yeah. Right. I'm just trying to say, tell them we don't get that again. That's what I'm very intrigued.

Oh, no. No, no, no. I want to see if you go do it again. I'm very intrigued.

Oh, no. That's a waste of money. I'm so intrigued. Everybody on back home.

They got us in the first place. I'd rather be dinner running a country or somebody. I'm fine. Not be ditty.

Yes. Yeah. Yes. Yes.

So switching gears here for a moment. Our careless recent arrest. For those who don't know our killing was charged once again, which I think I think is pretend sexual charges by the same person. So I got a question for you guys.

By the same person that was on a video tape. Yes. Yes. Yes.

My thing is this. So is double jeopardy. I understand, you know, I'm telling you he's a monster. He needs to be locked up and everything, but it's double jeopardy.

He's being thrown out the window as it relates to a killing. No. No. No.

It's not. There's not double jeopardy. No. Is it the girl from the first when he was talking to the first time?

Yes. I didn't follow the first trial. You know, really. I thought it was like new evidence.

No. They probably, Charlie, it was something different at this time. Okay. That's okay.

Yeah. It's probably a different, a different charge. So what they call it without prejudice. He, he, he, he won the first time.

Yeah. He'll be reopened with a different charge. Whatever happens that man needs to go. He needs to go.

What you know, all. It's the biggest is those situations are like this. Yeah. When we go after who we need to go after, we don't go after properly.

And then she gets dismissed because there's no way. Right. When that happened the first time that this movie should have, this movie should have happened years ago. Or this little document.

This year it was going to happen. Not that I'm saying that at the end of the day is never too long or never too late for exposure. But at the same token, this should have been done on a time ago because whomever was this quote unquote victim between then and now that would have never happened. So, you know, it's like, come on charge of that, right?

And, and don't overdo it. Like they did with their, I mean, I'm all subject, but they went too far over and they got quick. Yeah. My power is on.

My power is on. I got a, got a charge properly. My power is on. It is.

You should have experienced some street justice because I had a man didn't experience and no one kind of street. Yeah. He's doing appearances. What?

I didn't get to selling the pistol. They shot him and he's out here. I'm like, nobody got this guy yet. That's what big cases out there in Miami.

But we fight. That's why we ain't fighting the enemy. That's the problem with us. We get had an emotional heart.

It's a heart attack and then it's over. And then we back to it. You just what? That's the problem.

We can't keep talking. We got ADHD with our own. That's a good quote. That's a good quote.

That's a good quote. I think the thing about staying focused, I like being upset about it's the thing I do blame it on social media. I blame it on the influx of constant information. I guess it's so interesting on one topic and it's so hard to focus on one thing, but it's so much fucking injustice going on.

It's so much. So like, whatever be mad at today. It's so much. That's a struggle to do.

Yeah. That's literally it. So that's why I feel like I'm all for this thing. I said, go on because it's so much.

It's such a small amount of time. We're going to do well with computers. We're rather avoided than to be in a rollercoaster in the world in a song because we can't stay focused. We're going to do it with our faces from finances to some material things to the opposite section.

These days, the same section over the road. We don't forget. We don't forget. We were going to throw it out the house.

That was like the same section. These days. That's fine. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, all right.

So another restaurant that was going to lose. I don't know if you guys heard about it, but Robert Kraft, but also it's been a bad week for Roberts. For those who don't know, Robert Kraft, he's the New England Patriots owner. And he was arrested.

Oh, a prostitute. Yeah. A prostitute. Yes.

That's funny. But for some reason, for some reason he's not experienced the same type of criticism that Robert Kelly is experiencing. So. Oh, no, no, no.

Okay. Is this what a minor? No, but it's the sex trap again. He got caught up in sex trafficking.

Yeah. He was involved in sex trafficking. Really? Yeah.

With some people from Asian parlor, from understand the girls could up or could not be in other news. I don't really have all the facts. They were. They were immigrants.

Yeah. Yeah. And the Chinese father, you know, like I thought it was. I thought it was.

I thought it was. No. All right. Everybody fight.

Come on. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Oh, God.

Okay. Why the white man. Okay. I thought you made Kevin.

Right now. Right now. The crime is a white billionaire. You know about to do that.

No time is in his bed. About the goner's. And do his thing. Yeah.

Should we continue to fight for immigrants? Yes, even though they turn around and spit in our face The thing about America is America is built on immigration America with explaining it to me Would everybody that started here was immigrants? No, no The genocide of a native american people. No, no, no, black people I started as a product.

Oh, no, it's not good Yeah Yeah, but even applicants come over here in this shit on us too and we do My thing is this we is if it wasn't for us and i'll fight in a civil rights struggle and taking all those ass weapons And they turn around and they turn it back on us every last thing of one of them even And i say it like that now People don't know our history. They don't care about our history. They just know the now If we barely can get our history you think that people of other countries getting black history They don't know We don't know who struggle African struggle Yeah, they got a struggle going over the Asians and white people However, when they come over here they call us a codice meaning nigger in the african tongue We have no rich evidence for them. We as a matter of fact, we don't have really any rich evidence for any other race So With that being said They call us a codice when i was saying that we should just focus on americans american American descent is a slave black american.

We should just focus on us instead of focusing on everybody else and then we'll be able to win Because everybody else focuses on their race especially when they get over here Yeah, we got a bade Everybody else to everybody else Whether you are black american african whatever when you hear everybody black it don't matter What does it say that again? I say when when they're here as well as african's were there here They're just gonna say that black as well. No Everybody here is just gonna say that black to the old presses. Yes But they don't know that they think when they come over here they they on the same level as the old presses So i don't think they think that at all.

No, okay. I want to guess what if i was giving all the opportunities that they're giving in the tank Break the door that i think i was a white man friend to about Exactly so Yeah, but with that on i don't realize they get treated this way because of her What's it mean to me because like while i'm saying they get certain Subsidized and certain benefits and tax breaks because of black americans How? Because of our tax dollars because of our financial civil rights struggle I don't know if i agree with that time. So I don't know if i can generalize that with that reason Generalize all of that with that reason and you know, okay I mean, i have to do some dirty things over people They did that they had the paper They did but I think it is though I think they did some dirty stuff here Right, and we're the only people that's really That has our arms open and that's really welcoming to other races and even even in even africans You know, wattle Why people come from strong countries Africa ain't never had alibate Africa makes a stand with african-americans.

We don't have the people like they got to like they have their country China they don't back try to depend on back But i feel like i don't know i'm not the person just because Just because someone doesn't Does it feel the same or do the same for you doesn't mean that that you shouldn't do what they're there that's why if they come in the Plate, right? Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, that's not gonna take a total Yes And that's no disrespect to you but and i understand that you know you got to you know I'm a good person thing going on and everything else I think i'm a good person but i don't think i'm a nice person meaning i refuse to be taking advantage of it And that's what they're doing basically like coming over here and it's saying oh well, you know, we just don't know what the business is for verbally And they're not gonna do the same thing else because they're good hearted good nature people and the time for that is over As far as when it comes to the africans, I feel like you over there I don't feel like they just like this like i said much i feel like they don't understand us I feel like you don't understand them. It's a risk in the it's like the same people different cultures So I think that's where the risk comes at the plate Definitely a misunderstanding and misconception Of each other's culture that's all it is but i don't make that bad for us They don't understand us and it's all over And we don't know them because we never been back to Africa Well, no, no, no, they're like they're like yo yo your your fifth cousin quite removed But think is this though, am i cousin he's been an advocate he can attest to this All advocates get their culture over there most of them i'm saying this has even been in a suit too And he said that they get their culture from black americans What's what do they mean being like the way they dress the way they articulate certain things in english in english language? They get their type of culture from black americans So what about the like their culture culture really like the tribe Yeah, like the like the countries called But the thing is i'm talking stuff like that.

Yeah black americans are very popular but they probably went out there like who else them but as far as As how they like their spirituality as far as their food as far as things like that But they have no back from the food Much of your food your food and spirituality has nothing to do with the way they treat But that's nothing to do with the way they treat other people like if you're coming over here and you're saying me it's different Even though we look at like that's a problem I think it's different. It's okay for example Okay That's like a black here from the suburbs and a black here from the inner city like Y'all have y'all have something to comment but they're still like a disconnect because of where you grew up like Okay, so check this out. I'm from kenna Coco, where you from? Okay, so Anyway Still You said I come from kenna you guys come from different parts of New Orleans I know right.

I mean, okay example a person that's from that's from Like Like a black person that's from east over in a black person from all time Okay So there's there's difference in the way we grew up, but there's similarities Yeah So that's I feel like it is with the African what with the African people I don't think they dislike us They just don't understand that and we don't understand them They do dislike us because they think they're better than us I think that we have more kinder with Africans and Africans than more common with us So we even are older minded enough to receive. Yes, you know, it's almost like people that are like don't get along It's kind of like it's that that's that situation with blacks versus Because even an African like even it's about Africa like the way that they're treated. That's how we're treated here. Yeah The problem is that I'm a journey over them.

All they got to do is rise up. Yeah, exactly jazz. Thank you So what's stopping them from rising up? Why we rise up you had one you and maybe four over two years to 200 Well But that's because we had sellout and bear went to its own presentation Like I like to go up that is real and we all know this it is but what you got in that turn to say, hey, you know what we are Nobody's fool.

Let's go ahead and chop everybody here. No Exactly and I'm waiting to go go. What you wait? But we got a hundred and ninety other people talking about some oh no, what about that?

Do my folks And we are better like the fuck he just plays He does what you asked anything. That's no choppy's here off Yes, chappy everything goes Get out of here. Um, so I want you guys. You know, I like to leave jazz notice for like leave on a positive note So jazz leave us leave us always on positive Um, I think that as a people we all have to be accepted to different perspectives It doesn't mean that we have to Believe in them So just be open to different perspectives because a lot of people struggle are different and some of our struggles are similar And we just don't realize it because we don't have the capacity to Just to take it all in but the other day, you know, don't be a sellout state sucker That's right.

Nobody will tell you know, they're proving themselves Let's go like that Come, come, what you got? Um, I think the most well positive note in the past I think we should all take a step back and try to practice empathy I think empathy is one of the greatest things as people that we possess And I think the why we are where we are because we all lack it And I think once we once we get a hold of that empathetic nature that got instilled in us, we will be great Okay Empathetic, um, let's listen there too while we practice empathy. Um, so Oh, I have a book that's coming out March 8th.
