When we talk about Mike Doe, are we protecting? Michael Jackson was a

prophet.

He was a prophet.

It was a prophet.

You're comfortable saying that? He was a prophet.

What points you to that? First of all, the talent.

He wasn't trained, it was God given.

But what do you say to that? Like, what do you say to that time frame in black history and black America and what was going on? I would say

If you had to grade the state of black children in America today, what grade would you give them and why?

That's a good question.

And I don't think I could separate.

that grade for black children from the grade I give the black community because children are the products of their community.

I will put it at a D and I will put it at a D for a couple of reasons.

Number one, our children are not economically conscious.

They are not financially savvy, nor do they have enough opportunities to learn how.

when you can't even tell your son to be

What has your mission cost

you personally up until this point in your life? What has my mission cost me personally? It's kind of difficult to answer because I've been in my mission since childhood.

as opposed to coming into it later in life and being able to compare this part of my life with the previous.

So since this has been life since nine years old, I would say...

That I believe that had it not been for the mission, I may have been married sooner because I would not have to judge or study women from the perspective of a leader or an activist.

I could just judge or study a prospective mate from the perspective of what I feel I need in my life.

Whereas I can't, let's take the Frederick Douglass Marcus Garvey Academy.

Yeah.

That's a conversation people don't like to have.

Now, the good thing, though, did you see what one of the, uh ...

I don't know if it was the federal district court or the Supreme Court, they ruled the other day, because remember, since the days of Barack Obama, the courts ruled that if a, if a homosexual wanted conversion therapy, they wanted somebody to help take them back, it was illegal.

You couldn't do no conversion therapy with no homosexuals or lesbians, even if they want it.

A court just ruled, loom, within the past 30 days, I believe it was in the past 30 days, it is not illegal for a homosexual to seek conversion therapy.

So if you can legally treat someone who's homosexual or lesbian, who don't want to be, that's a very good thing.

That's a very good thing.

That's facts.

Uh, something that I wanted to ask you about actually, well, um, a theory of mine anyway i think that the introduction of uh crack cocaine was one of the worst things that ever happened to our community right and my theory is that that's the turning point for how we got here so i guess that that adds to my questions like like my question is is what was the turning point at what stage did we get here i personally think it was the introduction of crack cocaine into our neighborhoods

you actually once your one step It was the de-industrialization of the inner city.

It's when white America decided in the post-Dr.

King era that we're never again going to allow black men to be heads of household, if we can help it.

We're going to make the black man economically irrelevant to the black woman.

And the way we're gonna do this is we're gonna de-industrialize the cities and we're gonna de-industrialize the high schools so there's no institutions that can train black men on how to make a living with their hands.

So this was done to make sure we cannot fund the Panthers.

And I try to convince her every day, but it's in her comments every time.

So can you address that for us real quickly?

Yes, indeed.

In fact, Frederick Douglass, one of his quotes, which is actually going to be the motto of the school, he said, it is better to raise strong children than to repair broken men.

Wow.

It is better to raise strong children than to repair broken men.

Such a profound statement coming from him.

especially given the fact he was not a psychologist, but so profound.

And of course, I had the pleasure of meeting you or seeing you on the West side at St. John, I think missionary Baptist church a couple of years ago, but anyhow, what are we going to do?

Click the link in our bio to support BHU.

What happened in Los Angeles right before the Rodney King riots, and it was part of the reason for the Rodney King riots.

A lot of people think the Rodney King riots alone was only about the acquittal of the white police who beat Rodney King.

Rest in peace.

No.

Remember, a few days after Rodney King, Latasha Harlins gets shot in the back of the head alone.

Shot in the head over an item from the store that she didn't even steal.

Yeah.

Right.

The only person Carmelo Anthony should be talking to in that jail, Mom, Dad, and lawyer.

Mom, Dad, and lawyer.

We can't trust nobody.

You can't get no damn, uh, uh, uh, conjugal visits, 'cause do you want your life, or are you worried about loneliness? You see this? Carmelo, you gonna have to be lonely right now, my brother, 'cause talking to her, and she feeding ...

Eddie, Eddie was the Judas in this case.

Eddie could've told the truth, but you know why Eddie didn't tell the truth, Loon? Because Eddie know he helped instigate the conflict.

Mm

Gotta ask you, these voting rights, what's going on with that?

Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

The United States Supreme Court handed down a decision on April the 29th of this year.

It was the same day as game five of the first round NBA playoff series between the Houston Rockets and the Los Angeles Lakers, and I'm bringing that up, Art, because I don't think that was a coincidence.

If you follow American racism, America's anti-Black racism, you know that they often like to release major landmark decisions and pieces of information into the society when they feel that Black people are most likely to be distracted with some irrelevant activities.

And so that game five was a big deal for NBA heads.

You already know I gotta ask you, man, you being a big Michael Jackson fan, you seen the Michael movie?

Mm-hmm

... and made them take down all kind of ex- exhibits.

He hates Black people.

He hates Black people.

He is gonna go down in history as one of the most anti-Black pre- and all of them was anti-Black, even Obama, in my opinion.

But he's gonna go down in history as one of the mo- five times most anti-Black presidents in American history, and he's doing it on purpose.

So how a Black person still supports Donald Trump, especially after he eliminated DEI-

Mm.

Mm.

And she said, y'all heard her, "I'm not gonna do anything just for Black people," out of her mouth.

But you sat by and let Joe Biden give the Native Americans a anti-hate bill.You sat by and let Joe Biden give the LGBTQs a hate bill.

You sat by and let Joe Biden give the immigrants a hate bill, and give women all kind of bills.

Mm-hmm.

So his whole presidency, he taking care of specific groups.

Nothing for Blacks.

Mm.
