The Red Line Through the Civil Rights Movement - The Suppressed History

WEBVTT
1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:03.919
Our family fathers here in this country brought about the
2
00:00:03.919 --> 00:00:06.919
only true revolution that has ever taken place in man's history.
3
00:00:07.240 --> 00:00:10.880
Evolve the idea that you and I have within ourselves,
4
00:00:10.880 --> 00:00:13.839
the god given right and the ability to determine our
5
00:00:13.880 --> 00:00:14.519
own destiny.
6
00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:19.839
The United States of America the greatest nation in history,
7
00:00:20.320 --> 00:00:24.160
ordained by our founders to be guided by divine providence.
8
00:00:24.800 --> 00:00:30.000
But today we are witnessing the orchestrated disintegration of America.
9
00:00:30.839 --> 00:00:34.119
Take a few seconds and take a look around your town,
10
00:00:34.640 --> 00:00:38.920
your state, look at your country and your world, and
11
00:00:39.079 --> 00:00:42.679
boldly ask what in the hell is going on?
12
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.200
But freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
13
00:00:47.000 --> 00:00:49.359
We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream.
14
00:00:49.960 --> 00:00:52.119
The only way they can inherit the freedom we have
15
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:56.280
known is if we fight for it, protect it, defend it,
16
00:00:56.600 --> 00:00:59.079
and then hand it to them with the well taught
17
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.600
lessons of how they in their lifetime. Let's do the same.
18
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:05.879
Welcome to the podcast Project Third Eye Open, where we
19
00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:10.319
dare to question with boldness the events that are unfolding
20
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:13.879
around us that others won't. At the end of the day,
21
00:01:14.359 --> 00:01:18.519
it is we the people who will decide the destiny
22
00:01:18.840 --> 00:01:23.480
of the Nation. Now introducing your host, Tony.
23
00:01:23.359 --> 00:01:36.000
LL gree Teens, gree Teens, gree Teens America. This is
24
00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:38.359
Tony L and you will give it to experience a
25
00:01:38.519 --> 00:01:45.359
very very very spasto podcast presentation. A project that I
26
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.200
open and normally little bit late, been in the lab.
27
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:53.280
This has been weighing heavy on me and I'll try
28
00:01:53.359 --> 00:01:55.519
to get it out doing them with the February, but
29
00:01:58.680 --> 00:02:01.760
with the research to do and make sure I had
30
00:02:01.760 --> 00:02:06.439
it right, and there's the weight that that came with
31
00:02:06.640 --> 00:02:14.639
every new discovery. Forgive me for coming out a little late,
32
00:02:14.680 --> 00:02:17.560
but I wanted to make sure I got got it right.
33
00:02:17.840 --> 00:02:25.080
I think I do again. I want to give phrase
34
00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:27.560
the most high came. Without him, I would not be
35
00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:30.039
here or not I've been born in the greatest country
36
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.639
on the planet. I will not be being able to
37
00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:37.000
deliver this information to each and every one of you.
38
00:02:37.759 --> 00:02:39.560
I know many of you as some have to say
39
00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:41.439
that this is this is not a lot. But I
40
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.639
asked them, what are you doing? Because I fully believe
41
00:02:44.719 --> 00:02:47.319
if everybody did their part, did what they could where
42
00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.599
they were, with what they have, and we be a
43
00:02:50.639 --> 00:02:55.840
lot better off society date. But be that as it may,
44
00:02:56.360 --> 00:03:03.560
I'm here and doing this very very very challenging and
45
00:03:03.639 --> 00:03:06.439
interesting times in which we are currently living in existing.
46
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.919
I think we should take stock in the little things
47
00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:15.319
and that we could be thankful for and also be
48
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.639
very conscious in the way of things that are going
49
00:03:17.680 --> 00:03:21.800
around us. And things are getting crazy and we'll get crazy.
50
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:27.080
R This is not the society the country that I
51
00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:32.080
grew up in, not sixty six years ago, not thirty
52
00:03:32.080 --> 00:03:36.360
five years ago, not twenty years ago, not five years ago.
53
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.000
And there is some comedic debt that is going to
54
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:46.120
be paid. So I think he's never, He's never. One
55
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.800
of us should taste stock in where we are economically
56
00:03:48.840 --> 00:03:51.599
at our home, and I think if you have not
57
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:55.000
done so, how the highly recommend that you do get
58
00:03:55.039 --> 00:03:58.840
some gold and silver in your collections, in your drawer,
59
00:04:00.240 --> 00:04:03.919
in your safety potzapots somewhere. And if you will just
60
00:04:03.960 --> 00:04:06.240
go to my website, that project that I up in
61
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:09.439
dot com, you will see an offering there that if
62
00:04:09.560 --> 00:04:12.360
nothing else, will at least give you a gram of
63
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:16.800
silver for yourself. You say, that's not a lot, but
64
00:04:16.839 --> 00:04:19.240
that's more than many of what many of you have
65
00:04:19.360 --> 00:04:22.959
right now, and it would never be worth zero, but
66
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:28.519
definitely highly recommend it. If you don't get golden and
67
00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:33.199
silver from the site on my page, get it from somewhere.
68
00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:40.240
Because getting the value has never, is not and will
69
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:46.079
never be zero. The same cannot be said to that
70
00:04:46.120 --> 00:04:48.439
paper money that you have in your pockets or in
71
00:04:48.560 --> 00:04:58.560
your in your bank accounts. Think about it. This prigentation
72
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:02.920
weight heavy here. It still does. Those of you who
73
00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:07.360
had the opportunity to view my my four part pregentation
74
00:05:07.639 --> 00:05:14.399
that I did about the synthetic and organic negro know
75
00:05:14.560 --> 00:05:17.199
how really really, I mean, I appreciate each and every
76
00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:21.360
one of you whoever who have responded. It's a grand
77
00:05:21.399 --> 00:05:24.759
fashion to let me know that y'all really really didn't
78
00:05:24.839 --> 00:05:28.319
enjoy that. But this is gonna be one that maybe
79
00:05:29.079 --> 00:05:34.439
maybe topped that in regardless to the information that that
80
00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:36.480
that I found it that I'm going to share with you.
81
00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:46.800
February it is designated to be the one month to
82
00:05:47.079 --> 00:05:52.439
hold out for so called Black History Month, But unfortunately
83
00:05:52.680 --> 00:05:55.399
I have always recognized that many many of you have
84
00:05:55.560 --> 00:05:59.240
done so as well. Seems to be Black history has
85
00:05:59.240 --> 00:06:04.399
been relegated to primarily Mr k and And and the
86
00:06:04.399 --> 00:06:07.920
Civil Rights movement and mos of Parks and Jesus Jackson,
87
00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:14.360
all those all those characters. Question I've always had for
88
00:06:14.439 --> 00:06:19.079
some time now, who who these people? Who these characters were,
89
00:06:19.120 --> 00:06:22.920
Who these people were, and what made them so special
90
00:06:23.800 --> 00:06:29.720
that they've been pedtalized in our society, particularly in the
91
00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:34.600
Nico community. You can't say anything bad about these people.
92
00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:40.319
They've been pedicalized to such a high degree. And I
93
00:06:40.360 --> 00:06:45.360
don't no man should be pedicalized to the degree that
94
00:06:45.399 --> 00:06:49.160
nothing can't be said or or said or thought bad about.
95
00:06:52.759 --> 00:06:55.959
So the question why that that that that I put
96
00:06:56.560 --> 00:07:00.360
to these individuals to this civil rights movement, and anal
97
00:07:03.040 --> 00:07:06.720
made me do some digging, and this is what I'm
98
00:07:06.720 --> 00:07:09.680
going to share with you what I found. And I'm
99
00:07:09.720 --> 00:07:16.879
not trying to disparage any one or anything of the
100
00:07:16.959 --> 00:07:21.079
sort or though dirt on their name, Their name is
101
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:25.920
the name that who they were, who and what they were.
102
00:07:28.439 --> 00:07:34.360
My issue is how we have been conditioned to accept
103
00:07:34.399 --> 00:07:45.040
them and been conditioned to see them revere them. I
104
00:07:45.079 --> 00:07:47.720
personally believe you're gonna reveal anybody to such a high
105
00:07:47.759 --> 00:07:51.319
degree that many of these individuals that took part in
106
00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:54.199
the civil rights we were in nineteen sixties civil rights movement,
107
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:59.959
may me be clear with that it should be okay
108
00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:04.920
to look up under the skirt, to hold them under
109
00:08:04.920 --> 00:08:10.720
the microscope, to find out who they really were, were
110
00:08:10.759 --> 00:08:14.560
they who we think they are today, and who we've
111
00:08:14.600 --> 00:08:21.000
been told they are. That's what I hope this is
112
00:08:21.040 --> 00:08:27.759
going to make clear to many of you. Not are you?
113
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:30.319
But I want to make clear again that I'm not
114
00:08:30.360 --> 00:08:33.879
trying to throw any dirt on anyone's name or even
115
00:08:33.879 --> 00:08:37.039
the movement itself, because there are some good things that
116
00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.240
came out of it. There's some good things that came
117
00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:45.240
out that that the individuals, you know, they're not that
118
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:50.440
they weren't stating. But we need to understand who are
119
00:08:50.480 --> 00:08:57.240
these people so we can better make a clear decision
120
00:08:58.360 --> 00:09:01.639
on how we are going to them ourselves individually. We're
121
00:09:01.679 --> 00:09:07.399
gonna reveal them or we're gonna look at them side eyed. Yeah,
122
00:09:08.080 --> 00:09:11.720
that's what I'm here for. So let's start off the
123
00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:18.159
question that the title is the red Line through Civil
124
00:09:18.240 --> 00:09:22.639
Rights movement, they suppressed history, And I make sure that
125
00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:30.279
it's the it's through because I'm not saying the red
126
00:09:30.320 --> 00:09:35.600
line refer to the Soviet Union socialism, and I'm not
127
00:09:36.159 --> 00:09:38.320
saying it wasn't my intempt to say that the movement
128
00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:44.759
was and and of itself Marxists or socialists or anything
129
00:09:44.879 --> 00:09:50.759
like that. My point is there was definitely a huge
130
00:09:51.200 --> 00:10:02.879
thread of Marxists and socialist ideology, and I hope after
131
00:10:02.919 --> 00:10:06.399
I'm finished you always see that that is the case.
132
00:10:06.879 --> 00:10:13.399
Not saying that the movement itself was wholeheartedly socialist or communists,
133
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.720
but there was some definitely, definitely individuals and other a
134
00:10:18.840 --> 00:10:23.200
disease that were rowing into the movement after it started
135
00:10:23.240 --> 00:10:27.600
in particular. But I think it's as in everything, we
136
00:10:27.679 --> 00:10:33.679
needed to find what is socialism? Make sure I get
137
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:43.559
my right tool. What is socialism? Socialism, particularly socialism as
138
00:10:43.600 --> 00:10:48.000
a political economic philosophy. The emphasized is the collective, the
139
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:55.120
collective mindset, collective, not individuals, like a republican form of government,
140
00:10:55.600 --> 00:11:00.679
not politically speaking, but the political and the republican governments
141
00:11:00.720 --> 00:11:04.799
which we were promised and still do have. Our founders
142
00:11:07.159 --> 00:11:13.519
recognize that God gave each of us individual rights, not
143
00:11:13.720 --> 00:11:17.559
as a collector, but as individual. So even if the
144
00:11:17.600 --> 00:11:27.840
majority says you have no right to live, my constitution
145
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:35.360
based on God's word says that I do based on situation.
146
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:40.840
Of course, the right to life lived in pursuit of happiness.
147
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:45.799
Those were designed for the individual to take part in
148
00:11:45.960 --> 00:11:49.360
not as a collective but as an individual, meaning that
149
00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:54.360
we ain't got to agree. And there's no such thing
150
00:11:54.440 --> 00:11:58.279
as equality. Rich. If you listen to a lot of
151
00:11:58.279 --> 00:12:03.879
the talk though, and the on the progressive web site,
152
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:10.919
that's what they emphasized, collective mindset and equality, and you
153
00:12:10.960 --> 00:12:16.039
will see and hear this world equality mentioned many times
154
00:12:17.120 --> 00:12:21.639
from people with this ideology, because that's that's that's there
155
00:12:21.919 --> 00:12:32.360
due North. So the goal is to prevent private individual
156
00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:42.320
roles from accumulating disproportionate control of resources. Again disupports relative right.
157
00:12:42.799 --> 00:12:50.000
But again they are attacking the individual or private individuals. Okay,
158
00:12:51.759 --> 00:13:00.720
economic equality socialism seeks to reduce income and wealth disparities again,
159
00:13:01.279 --> 00:13:05.679
and you you should recognize and I always recognize this,
160
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:13.120
the talk from progressives all about bringing the halves down
161
00:13:13.120 --> 00:13:16.559
to the havel knocks those who are successful down down
162
00:13:16.639 --> 00:13:19.919
to the unsuccessful. Not them, not them, though not them,
163
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:25.799
everyone else other than them, I will make that clear,
164
00:13:26.200 --> 00:13:30.440
not them, not missing them money, but your money. Right.
165
00:13:31.320 --> 00:13:35.480
They want they never want to bring the one who's
166
00:13:35.480 --> 00:13:39.919
failing up to those who succeed them, maybe to learn
167
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.720
how those who succeed succeed. They never want to bring
168
00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:50.120
the the the one who who who is at the
169
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:53.320
F level up to the A level, but maybe occurs
170
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:56.919
in the person at the F level, maybe get get
171
00:13:57.000 --> 00:14:05.039
some tutoring after the class. They never want to bring
172
00:14:06.240 --> 00:14:10.279
the poor person up to the rich person by encouraging
173
00:14:10.279 --> 00:14:14.080
them to do the things that a rich person are doing.
174
00:14:14.559 --> 00:14:17.879
It's always other way around. Even notice that even regarding
175
00:14:18.000 --> 00:14:26.279
to the gender issue, making women feel guilty for being
176
00:14:26.360 --> 00:14:30.600
women and they should be more like men to garner
177
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:36.399
the same rights and wealth and all these other things
178
00:14:36.440 --> 00:14:41.200
that they apply to to being a man to transfer
179
00:14:41.320 --> 00:14:45.200
over to the women. You don't hear them champion the
180
00:14:45.200 --> 00:14:50.120
male to go down, I said, go down, but to
181
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:57.279
be more. Not gonna say more Feeline because they did.
182
00:14:57.279 --> 00:15:00.879
They don't want to feminize the male, but get what
183
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.000
the females on. You don't never hear them encouraging the
184
00:15:05.080 --> 00:15:11.559
male to bumo US women's only society, a group, a club.
185
00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:17.559
This is a pretty issue, I said, But they don't
186
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:22.000
encourage the female to just be them. Be you be
187
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:25.159
what God wants you to be, and do your best
188
00:15:25.240 --> 00:15:35.519
at that and make sure that the opportunity is level.
189
00:15:36.480 --> 00:15:42.240
Just opportunity, not the outcome, not the outcome. This the opportunity,
190
00:15:42.279 --> 00:15:45.279
and I think that's what we all want, this opportunity.
191
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:49.240
We don't want the game rigged in their favor nor
192
00:15:49.279 --> 00:15:52.759
in my favorite people want a even playing field. And
193
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:57.240
that's what the Negro wanted genuinely and still do back then,
194
00:15:57.759 --> 00:16:02.039
just to be able to do what we want to
195
00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:06.799
do like everyone else does, to be governed by our
196
00:16:08.080 --> 00:16:15.440
creator in doubt rights. That's my belief anyway, So move on.
197
00:16:16.240 --> 00:16:22.000
Policies may include progressive taxation, public services and welfare programs.
198
00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:28.759
Social welfare, the provision of healthcare, education, housing, and basic
199
00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:36.840
needs is often guaranteed or heavily subsidized, not by other individuals,
200
00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:44.639
not by the community, but by the state. And off
201
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:46.519
they repeat this now I think it needs to be
202
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:56.840
repeated today. Government doesn't produce wealth. So the more responsibilities
203
00:16:56.879 --> 00:17:03.639
and more goodies that we ask individuals demand from the government,
204
00:17:03.919 --> 00:17:08.160
the government has to get that from other producing in
205
00:17:08.200 --> 00:17:18.160
the visuals, and that inevitably is going to mean more
206
00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:27.680
taxes either on the community, society or in the visual
207
00:17:28.079 --> 00:17:34.440
who are high producers or high income individuals. And if
208
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:39.200
they get too angry at being beat across the head,
209
00:17:39.880 --> 00:17:44.440
they will take their marbles and go somewhere else, leaving
210
00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:48.720
those who still demanding more social resources on their own
211
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:57.799
to pay for their desire to get more resources from
212
00:17:57.799 --> 00:18:03.160
an entity that doesn't produce wealth on his own. That's
213
00:18:03.200 --> 00:18:07.000
noted that that is not brought up in the educational
214
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.720
system for a for a reason, I believe, and if
215
00:18:09.720 --> 00:18:13.839
people really understood that simple, simple point of fact, they
216
00:18:13.920 --> 00:18:18.400
may stop passing for so much from government because they
217
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:22.720
realize government will have to take the money from you,
218
00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:29.559
either indirectly or directly. That doesn't make sense. It really
219
00:18:29.640 --> 00:18:34.519
doesn't make sense. So yeah, yeah, I definitely want to
220
00:18:34.599 --> 00:18:39.839
point point that out to you. It ensures that all
221
00:18:39.920 --> 00:18:42.519
members of society have access to a sense of goods
222
00:18:42.519 --> 00:18:47.480
and services. That's that's a noble carse. We all want that.
223
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:55.599
But again, lit make this make sense. Karl Marge characterize
224
00:18:56.359 --> 00:19:01.119
histormal socialism as from each according to his are her needs,
225
00:19:01.720 --> 00:19:07.359
abilities to each according to his or her needs. So
226
00:19:07.359 --> 00:19:10.400
I'll say this again, from each according to his or
227
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:15.400
her ability, from each according to his or his ability,
228
00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:20.480
to each, to each according to his or her needs,
229
00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:27.039
no qualifiers. Just if you need, they have you go
230
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:36.440
take what's the fairness in that? What's the due process
231
00:19:36.519 --> 00:19:46.039
in that right, Marxi, Socialism is basically the transition stage
232
00:19:46.079 --> 00:19:51.279
between capitalism and communism, which that that's what we are feared.
233
00:19:51.599 --> 00:19:56.920
Those who know the differences between the economic systems capitalism, socialism,
234
00:19:57.000 --> 00:20:04.000
and communism. Socialis to be just the median. It's just
235
00:20:05.359 --> 00:20:12.119
a pass through on their way to communism. Look at
236
00:20:12.119 --> 00:20:14.519
what happened to Venezuela, look at what was what what
237
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:23.440
happened to keep Er, look at what happened to North
238
00:20:23.519 --> 00:20:29.200
North Korea, look at what happened to the Congo. Many
239
00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:35.079
other examples of societies or states that were once free
240
00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:40.119
to one degree or another, or they're more capitalistic and
241
00:20:40.119 --> 00:20:44.559
when they decide to go socialism socialists, it won that
242
00:20:44.759 --> 00:20:49.640
long before they went full blown communism, because that's the bridge.
243
00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:53.039
And that's what many educated people, if one people are
244
00:20:53.079 --> 00:20:57.400
trying to stop here. But the educational system just isn't
245
00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:03.720
really wanted to help. And this is the problem that
246
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:13.319
we are in today. But let's look at what's socialism
247
00:21:13.400 --> 00:21:20.680
and communist ideas. What's the impact the aspects that it
248
00:21:20.880 --> 00:21:26.079
had on the nineteen sixty civil rights movement? In medium
249
00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:30.519
you need to understand that there has been much much
250
00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:37.640
debate on the the the Soviet Soviet Union, particularly back
251
00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:43.319
in the day with with Stalin and there's the battle
252
00:21:43.440 --> 00:21:50.599
between America and the United States and then uss R.
253
00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:58.480
They wanted to infiltrate our cultural society disrupted and get
254
00:21:58.559 --> 00:22:02.160
us putted against one another. They knew American's a key
255
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:04.920
is killers here, as many people around the world know
256
00:22:05.200 --> 00:22:08.519
a kidd is here is the relationship between the Negro
257
00:22:08.799 --> 00:22:15.359
and the Caucasian. So it should not coming that's in surprise.
258
00:22:15.400 --> 00:22:18.480
Should understand that Commanists, part of the USA, has been
259
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:23.279
active in advocating for the Negro rights since the nineteen thirties,
260
00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:30.160
organizing against lynching, detigation, and labor discrimination, laying of organizational
261
00:22:30.240 --> 00:22:34.680
groundwork that influenced later activism, and not saying that the
262
00:22:34.799 --> 00:22:39.000
action for wrong. Of course, I mean, we all want
263
00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:43.519
want to be against lynchon, detigation and labor discrimination. But
264
00:22:43.640 --> 00:22:49.720
it depends on what's your why, what's your why? What's
265
00:22:49.720 --> 00:22:54.839
your come from? Why are you coming to our aid,
266
00:22:55.599 --> 00:23:02.039
coming to anyone's a you know? Why? What's your in gains?
267
00:23:02.119 --> 00:23:08.720
Just for my benefit of yours? That's the question. Scholarly
268
00:23:08.759 --> 00:23:14.039
assessments indicate that while leftists, including socialists and some Communists
269
00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:24.119
provided tactical provided tactics, intellectual frameworks, and gradual support such
270
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:30.000
as sit ins, mass demonstrations, and class based analysis of racism.
271
00:23:30.759 --> 00:23:36.200
The movement as a whole, The movement as a whole
272
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:44.119
was not controlled by communists. In fact that there's much
273
00:23:44.759 --> 00:23:48.920
belief that it was still generally controlled by the Negro
274
00:23:49.079 --> 00:23:55.519
church community, at least on the ground. Make that clear,
275
00:23:58.240 --> 00:24:01.759
at least in the beginning. I saw they also that
276
00:24:01.799 --> 00:24:10.559
should be pointing out. But who were the individuals? Who
277
00:24:10.640 --> 00:24:16.440
were these individuals that have been elevated to such heights
278
00:24:16.480 --> 00:24:22.880
that the very question of their character? People look at
279
00:24:22.880 --> 00:24:26.839
the sideways, Let's look at this, Let's start at the
280
00:24:26.839 --> 00:24:31.240
top again. The argument is not at all whether the
281
00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:36.880
civil rights meaning was socialists, at least completely socialists. The
282
00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:45.160
argument can't be made is why are the recantations of
283
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:52.039
many of these prominent individuals identities grew up? Of these
284
00:24:52.119 --> 00:24:57.839
very important facts today like who were they really? What
285
00:24:58.200 --> 00:25:07.000
was the ideology? Okay? Another argument is that key leaders, organizations,
286
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:13.200
funding channels, and policy goals were deeply influenced by socialist thoughts.
287
00:25:13.279 --> 00:25:19.880
Socialist ideology, especially in its economic and collective dimensions. Understand
288
00:25:19.960 --> 00:25:29.119
that these civil rights women went through several stages, several dimensions.
289
00:25:30.400 --> 00:25:33.759
It started out strictly looking for civil rights economic rights,
290
00:25:33.920 --> 00:25:39.480
but as you notice, it ended up about social issues
291
00:25:43.640 --> 00:25:49.640
much too. I think overall a detriment Martin Luther King,
292
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:57.680
he repeatedly criticized capitalism. Again, I am still, you know,
293
00:25:58.799 --> 00:26:07.079
to less a degree, but still appreciative to m kay
294
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:13.000
and what he accomplished. He was a great man just
295
00:26:13.039 --> 00:26:17.079
for what he did. He still stood on what he believed.
296
00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:21.319
Never mind the fact that much of what he truly
297
00:26:21.400 --> 00:26:27.480
believed was manipulated and distorted when it was presented to
298
00:26:27.559 --> 00:26:33.839
the to the masses. That's really not his his issue.
299
00:26:35.119 --> 00:26:39.079
But he was who he was, and he was a
300
00:26:39.079 --> 00:26:43.039
man of his principles, and he said what he believed.
301
00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:48.519
We did, did we? We really wanted listening, And that's
302
00:26:48.599 --> 00:26:50.680
one day I did go back and listen to a
303
00:26:50.680 --> 00:26:53.759
lot of his speeches. That I mean, it's like many
304
00:26:54.079 --> 00:26:57.039
many progressives of liberals, particularly today, if you go back
305
00:26:57.079 --> 00:27:00.839
and listen to Obama, he told you what he was
306
00:27:02.000 --> 00:27:07.799
media again, you know, change and manipulated and presented it
307
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:12.279
how they wanted him to be seen by the people.
308
00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:16.480
But he told us who he was, and most progressives,
309
00:27:16.480 --> 00:27:22.799
particularly today, tell you who they are, and King did.
310
00:27:24.160 --> 00:27:24.240
So.
311
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:29.559
No real need to hate King, And this is not
312
00:27:29.680 --> 00:27:32.680
what I'm doing to to to cause anyone to hate
313
00:27:32.720 --> 00:27:36.039
any of these people who who I'm I'm'm shining light on.
314
00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.039
It's just getting to really shine light on that for
315
00:27:39.799 --> 00:27:45.359
everyone to truly see who these people were. Okay. So,
316
00:27:45.400 --> 00:27:51.400
he repeatedly criticized capitalism, supported the democratic socialism, and argued
317
00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:58.519
that racial justice wasn't impossible without economic redistribution. He condemned
318
00:27:58.559 --> 00:28:04.359
the evils of capitalism, and he supported and guaranteed supported
319
00:28:04.400 --> 00:28:11.640
a guaranteed income, federal job programs, and law scale redistribution.
320
00:28:11.799 --> 00:28:14.920
You're going to be hearing now a lot from these people.
321
00:28:16.720 --> 00:28:20.519
His later focus shifted from civil rights to economic rights.
322
00:28:20.720 --> 00:28:25.200
In this book, where do we go from here? Chaos
323
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:29.880
and community came in nineteen sixty seven. In nine sixty
324
00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:34.359
seventh speech to his staff, King said we must recognize
325
00:28:34.400 --> 00:28:40.599
that we cannot solve our problem now until there is
326
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:47.160
a radical redistribution of economic and political power. And again
327
00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:52.640
in his beach at fark More, South Carolina, in nineteen
328
00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:57.880
sixty seven, King said something is wrong with capitalism. There
329
00:28:57.960 --> 00:29:08.880
must be a better distribution of wealth. So I don't
330
00:29:08.880 --> 00:29:10.799
know about you, but that difference doesn't sound like a
331
00:29:10.799 --> 00:29:17.039
capitalist to me, or someone that really really revers American
332
00:29:18.839 --> 00:29:33.359
capitalism or the fundamental idea of you you do you,
333
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:40.480
your money is your money, right, That's that's not what
334
00:29:40.599 --> 00:29:49.200
he's spousing. Then there's Bayer rusting. They know, but they're
335
00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:54.400
rusting with the chief organizer, uh the March on Washington.
336
00:29:55.359 --> 00:29:59.519
What's longtime socials and former member of his sources of
337
00:29:59.640 --> 00:30:05.160
social organizations, a lifelong Democratic socialists from a member of
338
00:30:05.200 --> 00:30:11.759
the Young Communist League in nineteen thirties, and you can
339
00:30:11.799 --> 00:30:16.279
hear his name speech spoken very prominently throughout the Civil
340
00:30:16.559 --> 00:30:25.599
rights movement in the nineteen sixties alongside of MLK. Then we're
341
00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:34.000
going to see mister a Philip Randolph. Philip Randolph and
342
00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:41.920
many others like Russian played very prominent roles in the
343
00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:46.200
civil rights movement in the nineteen sixties. He pressured FDR
344
00:30:46.440 --> 00:30:54.160
into this this integrat team disintegrated, meaning that it was integrated.
345
00:30:55.960 --> 00:31:00.759
So because FDR to disintegrate defense industries where a self
346
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:07.359
described socialist and label organizer, founder of Brotherhood of Sleeping
347
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:14.920
car Porters. He mentored King in Russian Ranolf explicitly framed
348
00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:21.200
civil rights as a class struggle, arguing political equality was
349
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:30.519
meaningless without economic security. And then there's a Black Panther Party,
350
00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:40.119
unapologetically socialists and Marxists. And I used to really really
351
00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:49.319
revered the Black Panther movement and and how they were
352
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:57.680
depicted by Holly wood as wanted to really cling on
353
00:31:57.720 --> 00:32:05.160
what I thought well the constitutional amendments to write to
354
00:32:05.319 --> 00:32:11.279
keep and bear arms when they openly carried in California
355
00:32:11.559 --> 00:32:14.640
to the point where I think Reagan, Governor of Reagan
356
00:32:14.680 --> 00:32:21.319
at the time, had to change the law. But that
357
00:32:21.400 --> 00:32:24.000
might be the one time that they reached for the Constitution,
358
00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:29.119
because in the very prominent scene showed them handed out
359
00:32:29.119 --> 00:32:36.640
the Comics Manifesto to U earned money for that party
360
00:32:37.000 --> 00:32:41.039
at I believe it was on the campus of of
361
00:32:45.079 --> 00:32:54.160
uh I can't think the name of it. H Berkeley,
362
00:32:55.319 --> 00:32:57.880
the campus of of Berkeley in California. It was handed
363
00:32:57.920 --> 00:33:00.720
out the Comics Manifesto. They were not handing out the Constitution.
364
00:33:02.319 --> 00:33:04.599
I thought it was strange then when I saw in
365
00:33:04.640 --> 00:33:08.279
the movies, and now understand why. Because they were socialist
366
00:33:10.240 --> 00:33:14.720
they handed the book that they we read most It's
367
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:21.400
Comings Manifesto They advocated social revolution, call for community control
368
00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:28.000
or production, health care and policy that tend point program
369
00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:33.240
demand in housing, employment and education provided not by them,
370
00:33:33.599 --> 00:33:40.359
not by people of the community, but by the state. Mhmm.
371
00:33:41.880 --> 00:33:47.480
Kind of see a similarity going on here, right? Then
372
00:33:47.559 --> 00:33:57.400
we have W. E. B. The boys. His name this
373
00:33:57.599 --> 00:34:01.480
dis iurgs me great man too. When you understand the
374
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:04.400
time that he came up, and when people step back,
375
00:34:04.559 --> 00:34:10.840
they may see that the whole thing about racist against blacks.
376
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:14.320
You gotta look at this man was the only black
377
00:34:14.360 --> 00:34:19.440
fauniding member of the original executive committee of the NWACP.
378
00:34:25.440 --> 00:34:27.559
That's pretty boss to me. I don't know about you,
379
00:34:27.639 --> 00:34:32.800
that that's pretty boss. He saw Maist Marxist frameworks as
380
00:34:33.000 --> 00:34:40.199
useful for understanding capitalism and inequality. He joined the Socialist
381
00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:44.559
Party of America in nineteen twelve and supported socialist ideas
382
00:34:44.639 --> 00:34:48.760
about labor and collective welfare. It's all about the collective.
383
00:34:49.239 --> 00:34:51.760
It's about the collective, not about the individual. It's about
384
00:34:51.800 --> 00:34:57.320
the collective, like the board he applied even for the
385
00:34:57.320 --> 00:35:00.400
Communist Party in the USA in nineteen sixty. You want.
386
00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:06.519
And then there's doctor Carmichael. He started a Black Power
387
00:35:08.159 --> 00:35:12.079
the Black Power movement, you know, with the with the
388
00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:21.280
black gloved hand fristballd up. Look good, very emotional. I
389
00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:28.119
don't know how many black communities economically changed for the
390
00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:30.599
better for that, I mean, but it looked good. It
391
00:35:30.639 --> 00:35:34.280
looked real good, I mean, very picturesques, especially when you
392
00:35:34.360 --> 00:35:39.519
do it in front of the world on at the Olympics.
393
00:35:40.039 --> 00:35:45.599
Look good, look damn good. Yeah. Yeah, Like most things,
394
00:35:45.639 --> 00:35:50.840
it's all about optics how it looks, not what the
395
00:35:50.920 --> 00:35:55.480
attention is, and not about the outcome. It's like Bill
396
00:35:55.559 --> 00:36:01.400
nom and so other so many other quote unquote black
397
00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:10.039
movements that it's allowed and popularize through the media and
398
00:36:10.119 --> 00:36:15.679
the elite. You want to see must real positive production
399
00:36:15.800 --> 00:36:22.440
out of it. But what's Good's damn good, very emotional. Yeah, yeah,
400
00:36:22.840 --> 00:36:29.039
that's what it's about. He aligned with Pan African and
401
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:35.159
socialist movements. He later joined the All African People Revolution Party.
402
00:36:35.559 --> 00:36:39.519
He praised revolutionary figures like for the or Castro and
403
00:36:39.639 --> 00:36:45.400
Mao Jay Town, who. Yeah, I won't have him his
404
00:36:45.519 --> 00:36:49.239
pitch on my wall because he's in the camp with
405
00:36:49.519 --> 00:36:55.679
Maos Town and he was such a a freedom lovering individual.
406
00:36:55.960 --> 00:37:08.599
Yeah he was, yeah, wow, Yeah, idolize him. Yeah, John
407
00:37:08.880 --> 00:37:19.559
Lewis former former Georgia Congressman Late John Lewis, founder, founding
408
00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:23.719
member and Ladies chair later chairman of the Student Non
409
00:37:23.880 --> 00:37:30.920
Violent Coordinating Committee the s n CC. Lewis participated in
410
00:37:30.960 --> 00:37:34.719
the freedom rights challenging segregated in the state buses.
411
00:37:36.320 --> 00:37:36.719
He was the.
412
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:42.320
Youngest speaker on the March on Washington. At the March
413
00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:50.440
on Washington, Lewis helped lead the marks from from Selma
414
00:37:50.559 --> 00:37:59.159
to Montgomery. Much praise for that. Yes, I mean again,
415
00:37:59.519 --> 00:38:03.239
not doing any shade on these people's accomplishments. This what
416
00:38:03.280 --> 00:38:07.880
was their agenda for their accomplishments? Was it? What again
417
00:38:08.039 --> 00:38:11.440
we've been told or being led to believe it was.
418
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:20.119
When you look further at Martin Luther King and the
419
00:38:20.119 --> 00:38:25.800
Poor People's Campaign, it tells you more about his will
420
00:38:26.880 --> 00:38:30.920
ideology is his true beliefs. After the voter rights at
421
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:35.239
the nineteen sixty five King increasingly emphasized economic justice, no
422
00:38:35.320 --> 00:38:39.920
longer necessarily looking at civil rights justice, but he emphasized
423
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:44.639
more on the money side Again. His book Where Do
424
00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:48.920
We Go from Here? He argued civil rights required tackling
425
00:38:49.000 --> 00:39:00.480
structural property and proposed a guaranteed the guaranteed income. This
426
00:39:00.599 --> 00:39:08.000
discussion is never about how to create more opportunity to
427
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:14.760
acquire wealth. It's all about being given wealth, guaranteed wealth.
428
00:39:16.199 --> 00:39:19.320
If wealth is guaranteed, why do why have to work?
429
00:39:21.440 --> 00:39:24.440
If I'm guaranteed to check, what's the incentive of me
430
00:39:24.559 --> 00:39:29.639
working and going out to earn. That's a question that's
431
00:39:29.679 --> 00:39:32.760
never seemed to be really really part of the discussions
432
00:39:32.760 --> 00:39:40.440
from these people. Interesting, he launched the Poor People's Campaign
433
00:39:40.559 --> 00:39:45.480
to the Man, Jobs, income security, and Housing for poor
434
00:39:45.519 --> 00:39:50.079
Americans of all races, and it's nineteen sixty seven speech
435
00:39:50.559 --> 00:39:55.960
the Other Americans. King said the next phase require a
436
00:39:56.239 --> 00:40:02.719
radical distribution of economic political power. Would I guess we
437
00:40:02.719 --> 00:40:08.840
would never know how radical he was willing to go
438
00:40:09.159 --> 00:40:13.320
to achieve this goal. But I think maybe the people
439
00:40:15.519 --> 00:40:18.880
above him really didn't want to see how he was
440
00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:24.519
going to accomplish that either. It's a thought then would
441
00:40:24.519 --> 00:40:29.239
come to Philip Randolph and bay Bayard Russell. I thought
442
00:40:29.320 --> 00:40:31.639
that these people are very these two are very prominent.
443
00:40:34.119 --> 00:40:38.199
Not to six, these two individuals proposed to a freedom
444
00:40:38.239 --> 00:40:42.039
budget for all Americans. Again, they talked about the Collective
445
00:40:42.639 --> 00:40:47.360
for all Americans, a ten year plan to eliminate poverty
446
00:40:47.519 --> 00:40:52.719
through for deployment. Yeah, that would eliminate it. But what
447
00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:57.159
if they didn't want to work. If you're going to
448
00:40:57.199 --> 00:41:04.280
guarantee income, why do have to work? You know, it's
449
00:41:04.320 --> 00:41:08.960
not that this hadn't been tried. Folks, the the the
450
00:41:09.199 --> 00:41:16.320
pilgrims try socialism. Realize that if people just being people
451
00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:23.119
get the opportunity to eat good without working, they eat
452
00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:30.000
good without working. It's heredations of the bad purch is
453
00:41:30.119 --> 00:41:34.159
here nation. I mean, it's just my head hurts us.
454
00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:38.760
It's just the the logic isn't there for for for
455
00:41:38.880 --> 00:41:46.119
socialism to really be uh, then system that freeze people?
456
00:41:47.119 --> 00:41:50.559
That's not what it's designed. It's it's not designed that
457
00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:59.400
way though. It did not call for a biology of capitalism,
458
00:41:59.800 --> 00:42:05.199
but for law scale freedom, economic intervention by the government.
459
00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:10.000
What about giving the government more power over the individual?
460
00:42:13.039 --> 00:42:17.320
But again there was a shift from the civil rights
461
00:42:17.599 --> 00:42:21.320
ideology of this fight for civil rights and economic rights.
462
00:42:21.679 --> 00:42:31.679
It shifted to social rights. Student Non Violent Coordinating Committee
463
00:42:31.719 --> 00:42:40.320
and Stocky Carmichael in nineteen sixty six, with the s
464
00:42:40.599 --> 00:42:50.559
NCC linked racial justice with critiques of economic exportation, capital concentration,
465
00:42:51.280 --> 00:42:55.880
and US foreign policy. Carmichael Laters changed his name to
466
00:42:56.079 --> 00:43:01.880
Kuan tour Toy tour. I believe use language influenced by
467
00:43:01.960 --> 00:43:09.000
anti colonial and sometimes socialist thoughts. Though SENC itself was
468
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:16.960
ideologically diverse, so you can't tag it as a socialist
469
00:43:17.079 --> 00:43:23.719
or Marxist organization. You can, but you know that's why
470
00:43:23.880 --> 00:43:32.760
they make sure they it was known as diverse ideological group.
471
00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:38.960
The Black Panther Movement, the Black Panther Party correct espelcially
472
00:43:39.119 --> 00:43:48.960
connected racial injustice, policy, brutality, and capitalist export exploration exportation.
473
00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:54.400
The Ten Point Program again demanded employment, house and community control,
474
00:43:54.800 --> 00:44:00.760
often framed in Marxist terms the Freedom but the Economic
475
00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:11.119
Restructuring Campaign by A. Philip Randolph and by Russian proposed
476
00:44:11.280 --> 00:44:18.679
guaranteed employment, living wages, massive public investment, and redistribution through
477
00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:28.519
social programs. The International Social Review notes that these programs
478
00:44:28.599 --> 00:44:35.079
were central to the movement's long term vision of economic
479
00:44:35.559 --> 00:44:46.480
justice essential. But let's look at the individuals who really
480
00:44:46.559 --> 00:44:54.320
really influenced the nineteen sixties civil rights men organizations and
481
00:44:54.480 --> 00:45:02.880
the individuals led by them. Let's look at the Fellowship
482
00:45:03.159 --> 00:45:12.000
of Reconciliation for a Christian pacifist organization with strong ties
483
00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:19.320
to labor activism and left leaning economic justice frameworks. For
484
00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:25.239
incubated core C r R, which is the Congress of
485
00:45:25.519 --> 00:45:32.719
Racial Equality, that's the word, providing early training in non
486
00:45:33.119 --> 00:45:38.760
violent direction action. So these people were serious about this movie.
487
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:42.880
They actually trained people to partake in it. Kind of
488
00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:45.519
like what's going on on the streets today in regards
489
00:45:45.559 --> 00:45:51.280
to antio, anti pro patterns or whatever. All these big
490
00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:53.920
movements are supposed to be this flung up out of
491
00:45:53.960 --> 00:45:59.920
nowhere through Sybil and Bessy, you know, and it's nothing
492
00:46:00.079 --> 00:46:03.760
be further from the truth. You know, well paid, well
493
00:46:03.880 --> 00:46:12.800
organized organizations. Many four organizers were simpathated to socialists and
494
00:46:12.920 --> 00:46:24.199
economic fotiques. Four was led by A. J. Mustay. Mustag's
495
00:46:24.280 --> 00:46:28.480
leadership is especially important for civil rights history because he
496
00:46:29.480 --> 00:46:41.639
authorized authorized James Farmer, George Hauser, and Bayner Russian to
497
00:46:41.800 --> 00:46:47.840
create the Congress of Racial Equality CORE in nineteen forty two,
498
00:46:48.519 --> 00:46:53.679
an organization that would come what becomes central to the
499
00:46:53.800 --> 00:47:01.800
Freedom Rise and nonviolent direct action. So without this man
500
00:47:02.039 --> 00:47:05.320
and those of you who are looking at him, you
501
00:47:05.360 --> 00:47:13.519
will see he is not menimated. And that's important because
502
00:47:13.880 --> 00:47:18.639
we may be of the notion that these so called
503
00:47:19.800 --> 00:47:34.639
black movements are totally run by negroes. Those who saw
504
00:47:34.719 --> 00:47:40.400
the movie X, we remember the scene well, Michael was
505
00:47:40.440 --> 00:47:44.239
going into a college and he was approached by this
506
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:47.679
blind blue like female and she wanted to get into
507
00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:56.159
the movement. Malcolm basically said, hell no. Now, that may
508
00:47:56.280 --> 00:47:58.840
be one of the few organizations that can be said
509
00:47:58.880 --> 00:48:03.719
to be totally one by the Negroes for their benefit
510
00:48:03.800 --> 00:48:11.039
of the Negroes. But you may understand also that they,
511
00:48:11.840 --> 00:48:18.960
by outside looking in, really haven't moved the Negro community
512
00:48:19.159 --> 00:48:25.320
as a whole to be economically self sufficient. That's been
513
00:48:25.480 --> 00:48:30.400
a lot of what they have espoused was and maybe
514
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:38.119
still is their goal. But in regards to the destial
515
00:48:38.239 --> 00:48:44.280
rightsmen in the nineteen sixties, it would very much funded
516
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:49.920
and some people say control manipulated by people who were
517
00:48:49.920 --> 00:49:02.000
not minimated. This man leaves that, I guess pushing back
518
00:49:02.039 --> 00:49:09.920
of the veil. Mister A J mustay, that's important to me,
519
00:49:10.000 --> 00:49:20.800
I believe. Then there's mister Okay. The organization the Corps,
520
00:49:21.280 --> 00:49:29.320
as aforementioned, the congress Erasory Quality James Farmer, heavily shaped
521
00:49:29.559 --> 00:49:37.679
by Ford Pacifists left intellectual circle. Early core members included
522
00:49:38.039 --> 00:49:46.199
activists influenced by democratics, socialism, and labor. Left leaning organizations
523
00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:53.719
Corps early campaigns, sit ins, Freedom rights mirror tactics used
524
00:49:53.760 --> 00:50:05.960
by socialists and labor movements globally. One more this organization
525
00:50:06.880 --> 00:50:19.119
International Socialists Troscot Troscokist influenced group active in the nineteen
526
00:50:19.239 --> 00:50:26.960
fifties to sixties ice is I guess Iss and the
527
00:50:27.119 --> 00:50:31.719
United States were won by one and led primarily by
528
00:50:31.880 --> 00:50:38.119
this gentleman, how Draper. Hel Draper one of the most
529
00:50:38.239 --> 00:50:43.960
influential Third Camp Marxist thinkers of the twenty first century.
530
00:50:44.639 --> 00:50:51.239
He served as the organization central leader from its founding
531
00:50:51.480 --> 00:50:57.920
in nineteen sixty four until its dissolution in nineteen eighty six.
532
00:51:00.079 --> 00:51:10.320
Team eighty six members participated in civil rights campaigns and
533
00:51:11.599 --> 00:51:18.199
saw the black freedom struggles es central to broader socialist transformation.
534
00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:27.280
The involvement their involvement was often hidden due to McCarthy
535
00:51:27.719 --> 00:51:34.480
era repressions. Y'all remember the Red Scare and all of
536
00:51:34.559 --> 00:51:44.079
that by Congressman McCarthy back in the day. The International
537
00:51:44.199 --> 00:51:50.800
Socialists are crucial part of the suppression the suppressed economic
538
00:51:51.480 --> 00:51:57.920
left leanings running beneath the civil rights movement. Their members
539
00:51:58.039 --> 00:52:06.159
supported civil rights campaigns us critique liberal integrationism, push for
540
00:52:06.480 --> 00:52:14.119
deeper economic transformation, and influenced later civil rights coalitions, labor
541
00:52:14.159 --> 00:52:24.400
civil rights coalitions understand not the best labor unions, but
542
00:52:24.719 --> 00:52:33.159
labor unions are by definition a collectivest mindset institution. So
543
00:52:35.199 --> 00:52:40.239
should not be surprised that socialist organizations comments organizations find
544
00:52:40.400 --> 00:52:52.840
home with or in unions. I find it interesting, but
545
00:52:53.000 --> 00:52:57.320
it really, it really makes sense if you think about it,
546
00:53:01.679 --> 00:53:07.199
organizations with socialists or socialist leaning influence. Again, these three
547
00:53:07.280 --> 00:53:15.480
individuals are prominent when it matters because that it shows
548
00:53:15.519 --> 00:53:19.079
that civil rights movement was not only about racial equality,
549
00:53:19.360 --> 00:53:26.719
and also it was also about structural economic movements. Many
550
00:53:26.840 --> 00:53:32.880
of the architects were openly socialists and or influenced by
551
00:53:33.039 --> 00:53:42.280
socialist economic thought. That ideology was socialists. The movements economic agenda, jobs, housing,
552
00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:49.000
and redistribution align with the left wing frameworks, and you see,
553
00:53:49.239 --> 00:53:56.119
you get that same playbook being used in today's discussion.
554
00:53:56.480 --> 00:54:00.400
When you talk to leftists or progressive lefts, members of
555
00:54:00.440 --> 00:54:03.480
the Democrat Party, it's all about to collective, it's all
556
00:54:03.679 --> 00:54:07.480
about the redistribution of wealth. Take it from those who
557
00:54:07.639 --> 00:54:12.480
have given to those who do. Not us for us
558
00:54:12.519 --> 00:54:19.960
as them situation. But let's look at where does the
559
00:54:20.079 --> 00:54:23.320
money come from? Because again you need to be understood
560
00:54:23.400 --> 00:54:26.280
when we look at what's going on on the streets
561
00:54:26.320 --> 00:54:30.239
of America and the world, particularly in western western countries.
562
00:54:30.480 --> 00:54:33.719
These people got very nice signs that look very clean,
563
00:54:34.119 --> 00:54:38.800
well well cared and care for, you know, like they
564
00:54:38.800 --> 00:54:43.440
ain't missed the mill and at all. But you understand,
565
00:54:43.559 --> 00:54:47.639
all of that takes money. Where does it come from?
566
00:54:48.000 --> 00:54:50.920
And quite interestingly enough, many of you probably won't not
567
00:54:51.000 --> 00:54:54.239
be surprised that comes from the same people that then
568
00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:58.599
as it does today. It's a major liber foundations, not
569
00:54:58.840 --> 00:55:07.199
socialists officially, but left leaning is storing there. These institutions
570
00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:14.199
funded civil rights litigation, organizing and voter registration just as
571
00:55:14.280 --> 00:55:24.360
they do now. Look at people, the migrants, they all
572
00:55:24.440 --> 00:55:33.400
look well faed shoes nice, not busting out, all all
573
00:55:34.320 --> 00:55:37.280
on the edge, just like they would naturally be if
574
00:55:37.360 --> 00:55:39.719
they walked in the number of miles as it's just
575
00:55:39.760 --> 00:55:46.199
supposed to have walked. That money comes from somewhere. And
576
00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:53.000
when you hear of the migrants or people who got
577
00:55:53.119 --> 00:55:59.639
locked up for protesting getting high paid legal representation, that
578
00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:04.840
us money too, And they don't get the same assets
579
00:56:04.920 --> 00:56:08.239
that you and I get to these same sources. Why
580
00:56:08.440 --> 00:56:14.360
is that? Because it ain't about us, it's about them
581
00:56:17.000 --> 00:56:22.199
and then being used as pawns for whatever gender is
582
00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:30.559
ultimately at the hem. At this the same playbook, same playbook.
583
00:56:31.679 --> 00:56:35.440
You got the fourth Forth Foundation, you got the Wachelfeller Foundation,
584
00:56:35.679 --> 00:56:39.639
you got the Chronegie Corporation of New York, the same people.
585
00:56:41.599 --> 00:56:45.039
Of course, today we've got George Soros, But these same
586
00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:49.719
players are still in the mix. They funded n w
587
00:56:49.880 --> 00:56:54.480
a c P, Legal Defense Fund, Voter Education, drives research,
588
00:56:54.599 --> 00:57:00.800
and urban poverty is and initiatives. These foundations were established
589
00:57:01.360 --> 00:57:07.280
liberal not marsis, establishment, liberal not marsis. Their goal was
590
00:57:07.440 --> 00:57:19.159
reformed and stability through integration. But still who were these organizations?
591
00:57:20.800 --> 00:57:29.400
Direct socialists, leftist organizations support Communist Party USA, early legal
592
00:57:29.920 --> 00:57:36.760
defense support in the nineteen thirties. Here go Scottsboro Boys' case.
593
00:57:38.280 --> 00:57:42.400
Some black intellectuals such as W. D. Boys later later
594
00:57:42.480 --> 00:57:50.760
in life had affiliations with influenced strong Strongest during the
595
00:57:50.880 --> 00:57:56.440
nineteen thirties and forties. Labor and legal activism less central
596
00:57:56.639 --> 00:58:01.480
in nineteen sixties mainstream leadership. Then we look at labor
597
00:58:01.960 --> 00:58:06.440
and social democratic networks. The Brotherhood of Sleeping car Porters,
598
00:58:06.719 --> 00:58:12.639
led by the boy A Philip Randolph, organized labor funding
599
00:58:12.719 --> 00:58:22.599
streams strong tires to new so called New Deal liberal liberalism.
600
00:58:24.199 --> 00:58:28.599
Freedom Budget of nineteen sixty sixts proposed by Randolph and
601
00:58:29.840 --> 00:58:36.840
mister Russan advocated for full economic and federal anti poverty investment.
602
00:58:37.960 --> 00:58:40.599
Hm hmmm, now that kind of sound like the so
603
00:58:40.760 --> 00:58:50.639
called New Deal. You look deeper at these organizations. When
604
00:58:50.719 --> 00:58:56.559
you look at four four incubated corps providing early training
605
00:58:56.639 --> 00:59:01.280
and non violent direction. Many four organization organizers were sympathetic
606
00:59:01.360 --> 00:59:05.119
to socials economic critiques. When you look at Core the
607
00:59:06.480 --> 00:59:09.960
the early years, the co founder was Missus James former.
608
00:59:13.000 --> 00:59:19.719
He believed sharply and pant Afghanism and so for the
609
00:59:19.800 --> 00:59:22.800
so on. These these same groups, as I mentioned earlier,
610
00:59:24.159 --> 00:59:32.599
you got is the International Socialists Group. Again member just
611
00:59:32.760 --> 00:59:36.079
participated in civil rights campaigns and saw black freedom struggle
612
00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:41.920
as a central uh center to broader socialist transformation. All right,
613
00:59:42.880 --> 00:59:52.280
she mentioned that earlier. But let's look at other parties
614
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:56.480
such as the Socialist Parties of America. Not a mass organization,
615
00:59:58.079 --> 01:00:05.119
but influential individuals such as mister Mandolph, such as mister Rustin,
616
01:00:05.960 --> 01:00:11.760
both were openly socialists and shape the movements economic justice agenda.
617
01:00:12.199 --> 01:00:17.679
So again not saying the civil rights movement was socialist itself.
618
01:00:18.199 --> 01:00:22.639
But when you know of what mothers used to tell
619
01:00:22.679 --> 01:00:25.119
their kids back in the day, birds of a feather
620
01:00:27.079 --> 01:00:32.719
flocked together. These individuals with this mindset would not have
621
01:00:32.920 --> 01:00:39.880
found a happy home in our organization that was capitalistic
622
01:00:40.519 --> 01:00:46.760
in our ideology and in nature, and probably would not
623
01:00:46.840 --> 01:00:53.280
be welcome. But they will welcome in civil rights movement,
624
01:00:58.079 --> 01:01:04.239
and they achieved prominent positions in the civil rights movement.
625
01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:12.199
That's the point. That's the point when you look at
626
01:01:12.239 --> 01:01:17.159
the Highland of Folk School, a training center for labor
627
01:01:17.239 --> 01:01:23.400
and civil rights organizations, not formally socialists, but deeply influenced
628
01:01:23.440 --> 01:01:33.400
by labor radicalism, anti capitalists, Peder got it, Peti peder
629
01:01:34.119 --> 01:01:42.519
goji and collective organizing traditions. And look at this train
630
01:01:43.199 --> 01:01:50.119
rose of Parks, MLK and s NC organizes. So you
631
01:01:50.360 --> 01:01:58.320
mean maybe rosa Parks seat at the bus picture in
632
01:01:58.440 --> 01:02:05.840
the bus picture might have been staged, n somehow it
633
01:02:05.960 --> 01:02:07.639
just happened to be there at the right time with
634
01:02:07.760 --> 01:02:22.400
the camera. Was he the first to challenge bus policies? Mmmm?
635
01:02:24.800 --> 01:02:33.000
Somehow doubt that. I seriously doubt that. But what does
636
01:02:33.119 --> 01:02:37.159
all get us? What did this all get us? That's
637
01:02:37.239 --> 01:02:42.239
the question. What did this all get us? All? Right?
638
01:02:47.159 --> 01:02:52.039
The original goals or the nineteen sixties movement send it
639
01:02:52.159 --> 01:02:59.199
around civil rights, equality in the gym, cross education in schools,
640
01:02:59.239 --> 01:03:03.679
buses and public spaces, secure their right to vote without
641
01:03:03.800 --> 01:03:08.039
barriers like literacy tests and poll text. I wonder what
642
01:03:08.360 --> 01:03:17.360
party brought those laws into reality? I wonder what party
643
01:03:18.840 --> 01:03:21.639
did that? And what if that party didn't do that?
644
01:03:22.320 --> 01:03:26.079
Oh that's right, there wouldn't be no literature test or
645
01:03:26.440 --> 01:03:36.039
poll text. Huh huh, Then there wouldn't that be no right,
646
01:03:36.280 --> 01:03:43.920
no reason to actually demand huh? And who who? Who?
647
01:03:44.400 --> 01:03:51.519
Who imposed Jim prolongs? What party did? Huh? Don't matter?
648
01:03:51.920 --> 01:03:55.159
None of that matters. None of that matters. Na, Nah,
649
01:03:55.800 --> 01:04:00.639
it's all good now, hm hmm. It could never writes
650
01:04:00.800 --> 01:04:07.840
Opportunity equality, assets, jobs, fair wages, housing, and basic living
651
01:04:07.880 --> 01:04:14.320
standards address systemic poverty that left Black American economic marginalizes.
652
01:04:21.159 --> 01:04:23.039
Don't they all have to do it with one another?
653
01:04:23.760 --> 01:04:28.880
Like the gym core laws and the restrictions on voting
654
01:04:30.599 --> 01:04:38.360
kind of add to not having no pre assets of jobs,
655
01:04:38.639 --> 01:04:43.199
fair wages, housing, high living stands. Don't they all kind
656
01:04:43.239 --> 01:04:46.599
of play off each other? Like if there wasn't gym
657
01:04:46.719 --> 01:04:51.079
core laws. If there wasn't any kind of imposition of
658
01:04:52.000 --> 01:04:56.800
honoriusk literacy tests, of potashes when it comes to voting,
659
01:04:56.920 --> 01:05:06.480
then there won't be so much systemic poverty issues. Yeah,
660
01:05:07.719 --> 01:05:16.320
just asking questions, asking, ask any questions. Civil rights achievements
661
01:05:17.159 --> 01:05:24.360
not fully realized legal seducation dismantled through landmark federal laws,
662
01:05:25.000 --> 01:05:28.039
including the Civil Rights Act in nineteen sixty four and five,
663
01:05:28.239 --> 01:05:33.079
the Fair Housing Act in nineteen sixty eight, Voters Act
664
01:05:33.199 --> 01:05:36.559
secured with the Voter Rights Act in nineteen sixty five.
665
01:05:37.800 --> 01:05:42.880
Whill removed discrimination barriers such as literature tests and polar
666
01:05:42.960 --> 01:05:46.079
taxes that were imposed by Democrats in the first place,
667
01:05:47.920 --> 01:05:53.280
and expand the black political participation. Did they need a
668
01:05:53.360 --> 01:05:57.199
law for that? I remember these seven black congressmen from
669
01:05:57.239 --> 01:06:01.599
the South that got elected to Congress, who are prominarted
670
01:06:01.639 --> 01:06:05.519
from the South, and they did that in eighteen hundreds.
671
01:06:08.039 --> 01:06:12.440
The Republicans. Ah, No, government need to come in and
672
01:06:12.599 --> 01:06:16.039
force people to vote for black people and force blacks
673
01:06:16.079 --> 01:06:22.480
to participate in their political organization. Yeah, government needs to
674
01:06:22.760 --> 01:06:25.280
force people to do that they couldn't do on their own.
675
01:06:25.519 --> 01:06:28.360
Even though we started happening eighteen hundreds, right after the
676
01:06:28.440 --> 01:06:34.679
so called evolution of slavery. That's a whole different conversation
677
01:06:34.840 --> 01:06:37.679
one that I had a couple months ago. I mean,
678
01:06:37.719 --> 01:06:42.639
want to look it up. Yeah, it's pretty interesting how
679
01:06:42.679 --> 01:06:49.400
this all works out. Federal protections established, overturning separate but
680
01:06:49.519 --> 01:06:57.599
equal and enforcing equal access to pup institutions. We benefit
681
01:06:57.719 --> 01:07:07.000
from that. You benefited from that with the Negro I
682
01:07:07.119 --> 01:07:11.199
forget about Dumbar. That Dumbars was operation. I forget about that.
683
01:07:11.519 --> 01:07:13.679
We need the government to step in and force people
684
01:07:14.159 --> 01:07:16.000
to sit next each other who really didn't want to
685
01:07:16.000 --> 01:07:20.679
sit next to each other for whatever reason. Yeah, we
686
01:07:20.800 --> 01:07:23.519
needed that. We needed that government had to come in
687
01:07:23.719 --> 01:07:29.880
and do that, because I don't know why government need
688
01:07:29.960 --> 01:07:31.599
to come in and do that, but hey, that's that's
689
01:07:31.639 --> 01:07:39.760
what we marched and bled for. Yeah, for our I
690
01:07:39.840 --> 01:07:49.960
won't benefit m social rights substantially advanced. Finding how there
691
01:07:50.079 --> 01:07:56.519
wasn't a substantially advancement of civil rights, economic rights that
692
01:07:57.039 --> 01:08:05.559
was substantially really doesn't not applied to those uh, perfect accommodations,
693
01:08:05.679 --> 01:08:14.639
integrated and then discrimination and transportations, schools, public spaces. Who benefited?
694
01:08:16.520 --> 01:08:22.600
Asking that question? Asking that question national awareness transformed, shifting
695
01:08:22.680 --> 01:08:32.039
perfect opinion and me the narratives around which is justice.
696
01:08:36.000 --> 01:08:42.760
The impact of the media cannot be understated. The media
697
01:08:48.159 --> 01:08:52.119
helped people see things that they wouldn't have ordinarily seen
698
01:08:53.560 --> 01:09:03.279
them allow the world. But what did they see and
699
01:09:03.399 --> 01:09:06.319
why was that camera there at that time to show them?
700
01:09:09.680 --> 01:09:13.720
And what was the narrative of applying to that picture
701
01:09:17.560 --> 01:09:22.319
that the media was presenting either or tierly or visually.
702
01:09:25.479 --> 01:09:29.159
Was it the truth and nothing but the truth? Or
703
01:09:29.159 --> 01:09:36.079
what is some manipulation of the truth. The role of
704
01:09:36.159 --> 01:09:42.920
the media and the civil rights movement and the liberal
705
01:09:43.680 --> 01:09:58.680
objective of division amongst dark and Caucasians in general, the
706
01:09:59.239 --> 01:10:06.840
Caucasians and the Negro in particular, cannot be understated in
707
01:10:06.960 --> 01:10:12.199
my humble opinion. And if we count traded more on that,
708
01:10:13.239 --> 01:10:24.720
we probably get more to a solution, because propaganda is
709
01:10:24.720 --> 01:10:29.560
a real folks, And some can say that we're all
710
01:10:29.640 --> 01:10:40.399
being played. Grass Roots and empowerment strengthened with new organizations, coalitions,
711
01:10:40.840 --> 01:10:47.880
and you let activism be shapen civic life. But what
712
01:10:48.359 --> 01:10:56.159
about the economic rights? Economic rights? Employment discrimination reduced but
713
01:10:56.319 --> 01:11:01.119
not fully addressed, anti poverty programs expanded it yet lack
714
01:11:01.840 --> 01:11:07.920
lack the scale of the movement's original demands. Economic justice
715
01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:14.880
is gender's sideline. As political rights became the primary focus
716
01:11:15.439 --> 01:11:21.800
in nineteen sixty five, structural barriers persisted, including wealth gaps,
717
01:11:21.920 --> 01:11:28.399
housing inequality, limited assets of capital areas. The movement intended
718
01:11:28.520 --> 01:11:33.720
to transform but could not fully reached. Those of you
719
01:11:33.920 --> 01:11:43.319
have who saw my four part production of the Original
720
01:11:43.399 --> 01:11:47.000
Negro and the Synthetic Negro basically looked at how the
721
01:11:47.119 --> 01:11:54.880
Negro community was prior to the Great Society kind of
722
01:11:54.960 --> 01:12:00.319
long these same period nineteen sixty nineteen sixty four, sixty five.
723
01:12:05.560 --> 01:12:16.680
We weren't happy, but we were satisfied. We had our
724
01:12:16.720 --> 01:12:19.920
own community. We had strong families. We didn't have young
725
01:12:20.000 --> 01:12:27.439
people killing the elders or beating up the elders. We
726
01:12:27.520 --> 01:12:34.000
didn't have baby mamas. We didn't have eighty percent seventy
727
01:12:34.039 --> 01:12:45.840
percent illegitimate childbirth, rare educated community of people who demanded
728
01:12:50.600 --> 01:12:56.800
we be educated, who held family and high regard, who
729
01:12:56.920 --> 01:13:09.720
helped been doing right in high regard, and government intervention
730
01:13:11.600 --> 01:13:25.079
changed all of that. We had black Wall Street. We
731
01:13:25.239 --> 01:13:44.279
had dumbbar Befour nineteen sixty five, who did this benefit Again,
732
01:13:54.000 --> 01:13:56.920
they want to highlight the nineteen sixty five sixty four
733
01:13:57.039 --> 01:14:01.760
Voter Rights Act. Let's look at that When you look
734
01:14:01.760 --> 01:14:06.239
at the percentage of Elizabeth voters who cast ballots since
735
01:14:06.359 --> 01:14:14.199
nineteen sixty four to twenty twenty, amongst ethnic groups, Negro
736
01:14:15.000 --> 01:14:17.239
not that season four or fifty nine percent. It's not
737
01:14:17.359 --> 01:14:29.039
bad fifty nine percent. So we were disenfranchised. And if
738
01:14:29.159 --> 01:14:35.279
we were franchised in sixty four, only fifty nine percent
739
01:14:36.399 --> 01:14:43.680
cast a ballot ballot compared to twenty twenty sixty five percent,
740
01:14:44.840 --> 01:14:54.560
not one hundred. And then who are we voting for? Huh?
741
01:14:57.800 --> 01:15:07.600
The same party that imposed Jim Crow, the same party
742
01:15:07.680 --> 01:15:14.880
that imposed poll taxes, the same party that imposed literacy tests,
743
01:15:15.520 --> 01:15:20.279
the same party who stood in front of educational institutions
744
01:15:20.439 --> 01:15:28.319
keeping the Negro out. Huh, that party getting eighty on
745
01:15:29.159 --> 01:15:32.680
up to eighty four percent of the Negro vote today.
746
01:15:37.359 --> 01:15:37.560
Huh.
747
01:15:40.039 --> 01:15:45.279
Make that make sense, y'all, because dunk to me. It
748
01:15:45.520 --> 01:15:50.640
really dunk to me. But when you look at the
749
01:15:50.720 --> 01:15:56.760
other ethnic groups, Hispanic they vote sixty three percent Democratic
750
01:15:58.000 --> 01:16:02.439
agents vote city fight up to city five Democrat, the
751
01:16:02.600 --> 01:16:11.159
whites forty one Democrat. That's fascinating to me. But let's
752
01:16:11.199 --> 01:16:15.159
look at who's getting the most bang for the buck.
753
01:16:16.760 --> 01:16:21.199
Will anyone say that it's the Negro getting bank bang
754
01:16:21.279 --> 01:16:31.479
for that buck, hell or no o, keep going to
755
01:16:31.560 --> 01:16:39.640
the troth stunning me. And that goes back to the
756
01:16:39.800 --> 01:16:45.960
power of media and listen, look take a little deeper
757
01:16:49.239 --> 01:16:56.840
when you look at government assistance, because if you remember,
758
01:16:57.479 --> 01:17:01.079
a lot of the socialists of the la are the
759
01:17:01.439 --> 01:17:11.520
our our theological individuals, wanted heavy hand government into the
760
01:17:11.640 --> 01:17:17.319
lives of the negro. How how does really, what does
761
01:17:17.319 --> 01:17:20.760
it really look like where we where were we before
762
01:17:20.840 --> 01:17:27.640
the nineteen sixty five sixty four When you look at
763
01:17:28.560 --> 01:17:33.520
government assistance with the Negro black Americans early nineteen sixties,
764
01:17:34.039 --> 01:17:36.960
basically before nineteen sixty four, we were looking at like
765
01:17:37.159 --> 01:17:43.640
fifteen percent. Of course there wasn't this this smogersport of
766
01:17:44.079 --> 01:17:48.560
government service available to them, handouts available to them. But
767
01:17:48.720 --> 01:17:55.880
still those that were available to the Negro we only
768
01:17:57.960 --> 01:18:04.560
protect of it fifteen compared to now over forty percent.
769
01:18:06.920 --> 01:18:10.960
Compared to now the general population is only around were
770
01:18:11.039 --> 01:18:12.159
less than thirty percent.
771
01:18:18.439 --> 01:18:18.960
Is that good?
772
01:18:28.520 --> 01:18:36.039
We're in trouble, y'all, we've been We are being conditioned
773
01:18:36.079 --> 01:18:42.000
to accept heroes that need to be really, really, really
774
01:18:42.319 --> 01:18:52.399
thoroughly re examined, but we're not being allowed to. Why
775
01:18:52.479 --> 01:18:55.560
isn't there a national holiday for MLK. I mean, I'm
776
01:18:55.600 --> 01:19:09.600
Michael Mats. That's a good question. Don't you think we're
777
01:19:09.720 --> 01:19:16.960
being like to We're being manipulated to go down a
778
01:19:17.079 --> 01:19:22.039
path that doesn't really benefit us, to choose a path
779
01:19:22.079 --> 01:19:32.640
that doesn't benefit us. Eight to one party. If you're
780
01:19:32.640 --> 01:19:47.960
a vegetarian, would you be going to Ruth Chris? There's
781
01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:51.119
a people group of people who you knew off the
782
01:19:51.239 --> 01:20:00.880
jump from an outwork view that they would not appreciate.
783
01:20:01.000 --> 01:20:05.079
You don't want to hear anything you gotta say, don't chare, don't,
784
01:20:05.159 --> 01:20:09.560
don't don't share in any of your ideology which you
785
01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:17.880
really want to go to that community? Would you be
786
01:20:18.000 --> 01:20:20.840
encouraged to go to that community, even at the outside
787
01:20:20.920 --> 01:20:24.039
chance that you may change them some minds? Maybe that
788
01:20:24.199 --> 01:20:32.039
one mind listen, tip flip it on the other side.
789
01:20:34.000 --> 01:20:42.800
If you're drowning and two people came to your aid,
790
01:20:46.760 --> 01:20:49.640
one wearing blue and other wearing.
791
01:20:49.439 --> 01:20:54.479
Red, just for conversation's sake, but your favorite color was
792
01:20:54.600 --> 01:21:01.960
blue or red, what would.
793
01:21:01.760 --> 01:21:06.159
You rather there to be a competition? Maybe that one
794
01:21:06.720 --> 01:21:10.399
would be stronger and more able to pull your butt
795
01:21:10.760 --> 01:21:17.399
out that oceans so you wouldn't drowned, Or would you
796
01:21:17.600 --> 01:21:23.479
be so stuck in your beliefs that only one of
797
01:21:23.560 --> 01:21:32.560
them can save you. That's the question that we should
798
01:21:32.560 --> 01:21:36.319
be all asked, particularly in the black community. Wouldn't it
799
01:21:36.359 --> 01:21:43.119
be better to have a competition to make sure the
800
01:21:43.279 --> 01:21:48.479
strongest person or strongest party can pull our butt out
801
01:21:48.520 --> 01:21:53.079
of this ocean that we're drowning in and getting ready
802
01:21:53.119 --> 01:22:02.039
to go under for the third time versus nineteen sixty
803
01:22:02.079 --> 01:22:08.119
civil rights men with Martius. No, was it heavily influenced
804
01:22:08.119 --> 01:22:13.199
by Martians ideology and influencers and what they backed by
805
01:22:13.359 --> 01:22:16.640
people that may not have our best interests. Because let's
806
01:22:16.680 --> 01:22:18.960
look at where we ended from compared to where we
807
01:22:19.840 --> 01:22:30.239
what our initial goal was. Who actually benefited. Yeah, we
808
01:22:30.319 --> 01:22:39.000
get to sit next to Buffy, but our pockets are stilled.
809
01:22:39.119 --> 01:22:47.399
Like our schools have been shut down. We've been forced
810
01:22:47.520 --> 01:22:55.199
to go to their schools, our shops have been shut down,
811
01:22:57.119 --> 01:23:00.840
to be forced to go to their shops to spend
812
01:23:00.880 --> 01:23:04.720
money in their community. Some did it, some of us
813
01:23:04.840 --> 01:23:07.439
kind of ran to to to their community. But that
814
01:23:07.640 --> 01:23:17.720
besides the point. What did we really get at the
815
01:23:17.840 --> 01:23:23.600
end of everything's said and done. That's how we should
816
01:23:23.600 --> 01:23:29.159
be evaluating all our relationship with the Democrat Party. And
817
01:23:29.279 --> 01:23:33.399
this society in general as a group of people. We
818
01:23:33.479 --> 01:23:37.720
cant have been over and and screwed with no dublication, y'all,
819
01:23:40.319 --> 01:23:43.600
But we keep turning around in one more of it
820
01:23:44.039 --> 01:23:47.720
as a community, so at some point it's no longer
821
01:23:49.960 --> 01:24:00.760
their fault. It's a you problem. Mhm hmm. Hope you
