All language subtitles for Uncle Tom I+II (2020+22).EN

I care deeply about black people

and the issues of black people.

But I care deeply about
the issues of all people.

I want to look at things objectively.

When I look at what policies I believe

will help not only black people,

but what would help all people,
I voice that.

And because I stand in the opposition,

that makes me an Uncle Tom.

I used to get very offended and upset

whenever people would call me an Uncle Tom.

I think I'm in a place now,
when someone calls me that,

I kinda pity them
because of their ignorance.

It just shows that they
haven't actually read the book.

Whenever someone calls you an Uncle Tom,

what they're trying to communicate

is that either you just
do not like black people

and you see all black people as trash,

or they're tying to communicate

that, "Oh, you're just trying
to fit in with white people."

"You're trying to be
accepted among whites."

"And so,
I wanna call you this derogatory word"

"to put you in your
place and to remind you,"

"you will never be accepted by whites."

"You'll always be just a black nigger."

Those people who find my Instagram

and comment on it just to call
me Uncle Tom, House Negro...

I never thought that I would be called

such racist and derogatory terms.

Uncle Tom.

Uncle Tom.

Uncle Tom, coon, bed wench.

Boot licker.

Chuckin' and jobbin'.

House Negro.

Coon.

Uncle Tom and coon.

Matter of fact,
I have a Coon Award over there.

Coon of the year award.

They call us the coons.

Coon.
Coon.

For Indians like me, you're an Uncle Patel.

Uncle Ruckus.

Well, praise be to white God and his son,
white Jesus.

The guy from "Get Out."

They put his face on my post.

I find that the African-American
experience for me

has been for the most part very good.

I think the funniest thing
I've ever been called,

most absurd thing is a
black white supremacist.

It's like the old Chappelle skit,
Clayton Bigsby.

They go.

White power.

It must be real.

People say crazy things.

Leftists say the craziest shit to you.

Don't try to twist what I say.

But that's what you're saying.

That is not what I'm saying.

That is what you're saying.

You can't tell me what I'm saying.

I know you, Lenore,
that's what you're saying.

You don't know me.

You sound like all of them.

Oh yeah, okay.

And guess what,
you sound like all them Uncle Toms.

Now, how about that?
See that?

I knew it.

Lenore, it's good to hear from you.

It's good to hear from you.

Go drop dead.

All right.

Thank you, Lenore.

What a sweet lady.

An Uncle Tom is somebody who has sold out

by embracing the white man,
by becoming a Republican,

by rejecting the idea that you're a victim,

by supporting things like hard work,

accountability and low taxes.

By refusing to think of
yourself as a black person first,

as opposed to as an American who is black.

Your skin color should
dictate how you think

and what you say.

The only way I can operate as a human being

is via my skin color.

I can't operate via my intelligence

or the things I have accomplished.

My resume should be, I'm black.

An Uncle Tom has
traditionally been a black person

that tried to serve and
curry favor with white people.

So, they believe that I wanna be accepted

in the white community.

Kinda like the House Negro back in slavery.

That I'm in the house.

"Master, what can I do for you?"

And I'm gonna suck up to them

and leave my people behind.

Most black people don't believe

that other blacks can be
independent free-thinkers

or standing up...
You definitely don't.

Or stand up for what is right.

They believe that if a black person

stand up for what is right,
they're a sell out.

They're a Uncle Tom.

The white people have to be brainwashing.

As my late grandfathers used to say,

who lived to be 94, "I does not care."

'Cause he didn't have a lot of education.

He said, "I does not care."

So, I don't care if they call me names.

Just meet me at the bank.

And we'll compare bank accounts.

I am very optimistic about the future.

Frankly, I have seen certain changes

in the United States
over the last two years

that surprise me.

I've seen levels of compliance

with the Civil Rights bill, and changes

that have been most surprising.

So, on the basis of this,

I think we may be able
to get a negro president

in less than 40 years.

In churches, in bars, on the streets.

Americans have been
celebrating this great landmark

of the long struggle for civil rights.

In Chicago, the veteran black leader,
Jesse Jackson,

broke down in tears.

In Atlanta, from the pulpit

of Martin Luther King's old church,

its pastor declared,
"Tonight, we have seized"

"the promise of America."

Not to sound crazy,

but white people always had Jesus.

So, they always had that mentality,

I could be anything, even God.

For me, the image of him is like,

who's the most powerful
person in the world?

Who's considered like a God, basically?

It's the president of the United States.

Obama became that image for us,
like that Jesus.

We never looked at
ourselves as being politicians.

We looked at ourselves as rappers.

Or football, basketball players,
drug dealers.

That's why I think Obama was important

in becoming president.

Because it gave us that optic.

Like, we could be whatever we wanna be.

It was America finally feeling

that we could let go.

Just let go and say we finally did it.

Progress is here.

I cried when he won.

I never thought in my
lifetime that it would happen.

But it happened today.

It's a reality and we did it.

America is now more united.

We did it.

I can't believe that I got the opportunity

to live, to see something so great.

I can't even describe it.

I can't believe I got the
chance to vote for someone...

Just look around.

It's all young people, all colors.

I believe, when you dream,
your dreams can come true.

Who would have thought that this year

a man like this will be elected

as the president of United States?

This is the beauty of America.

God bless America.

God bless America!

I became a Christian back in 2009.

The year prior, I voted for Barack Obama.

I was really passionate about
Barack Obama and his policies.

I was having a conversation with a friend,

and I was telling him how I'm a Democrat

because the Democrat
policy is pro-Medicaid,

pro-government benefits, all these things

that can help poor urban communities.

And doesn't the Bible say

that we're supposed to
look out for poor people?

And this friend of mine,
who's also a Christian said,

"Well, was it talking about the government"

"or is it talking about you?"

And I was like, that's very interesting.

And so, I went back and read it

and it was talking about me.

A lot of the way that I saw
things began to change,

but I was still a Democrat.

This friend of mine challenged me

to go and read the Republican platform

and read the Democrat platform.

And see where my values
and my views line up.

My whole mindset was
changing around this time,

and so I took him up on that offer.

I went in and I read the
entire Democrat platform

and I read the entire Republican platform.

And I was like, "Man, I'm a Republican,".

I have learned to go beyond

just listening to what CNN says,
or even Fox News.

I go on Fox News all the time,

but I decide to go beyond
what they are saying

and what they're selling

and I'm able to listen and
do the research on my own

so I know who I believe in,
who am I voting for and why.

I used to be a Democrat.

I used to be hardcore, Barack Obama,

the Democrats are only
here to help the people,

they're the party of the people.

And then I found out
that the Democratic party

was the party of slavery, Ku Klux Klan,

the Jim Crow laws.

They were opposed to
the civil rights movement.

The 13th, 14th and 15th Amendment

which freed the slaves,
gave black people citizenship

and the right to vote.

The Democrats unanimously voted against

all of those rights.

And when I found that out,

and nobody could give
me a legitimate stance

on how the party switched,

it's like I have no other choice

but to at least consider what principles

does the other side have?

What are they offering?

When I began to educate myself

on the history of the Democratic party,

I learned a lot about Margaret Sanger.

I think the greatest sin in the world

is bringing children into the world.

That have disease...

And I learned about the
birth of the Ku Klux Klan.

And I learned about the Jim Crow south.

And I learned about Black Wall Street.

And all of those events had
Democratic hands in them.

It unraveled everything
that I knew to be true.

Everything that the news media taught me.

Everything that my own culture taught me.

We're going to the studio.

News nugget.

Show time.

George Washington mural
should be covered but preserved

according to a San Francisco
school board decision.

Don't they have better things to do?

Do you know what the
problem is with that mural?

It has a slave in it.

That was back then.

But they wanna cover up history.

It had a native American-Indian in it.

They don't like that.

It's part of history.

I focus on three things.

Performance, performance, performance.

The three things that
are my guiding lights,

belief in God, belief in myself

and my belief in the
United Sates of America.

I learned it from that man right there.

My dad worked three jobs
until he could live off of two,

and he worked two until
he could live off of one.

He used to be a chauffeur
for the Coca Cola company.

And then one day he was asked to drive

for the chairman and CEO,
Robert W. Woodruff.

It was like a 24/7, seven-day a week job.

I never heard him complain

about having to work so hard.

I never heard him complain

about what the government
didn't do to help us.

We were poor, but we didn't know it.

We didn't have people
screaming at us all the time

telling us we were poor.

My dad encouraged my brother and I

to get as much education as you can.

'Cause he worked in an environment

where the most successful people

were the ones that had the
greatest amount of education.

Success does not come in a straight line.

It's a zigzag.

I'm sick of us hearing about
our people talking about,

"Oh, when I go to a job,"

"they're gonna discriminate against me."

"White privilege."

I don't wanna hear a
lick of that crap anymore.

You're stronger than that.

You're more powerful than that.

I tell you what, I go to a job interview,

and someone don't give me an opportunity,

I'm a apply for every
single job on the block

until I get a job.

I don't need no handouts,
I don't need your excuses.

I'm a go harder than
everybody else for their job.

And if you go hard,
and you put yourself in position,

you'll be successful.

I never saw myself as handicapped,

because I was black, I was a woman,

that I came from poverty.

It was just not the way
I processed the world.

As someone who got a GED,
went to a community college,

then went on to get a four-year degree,

graduating magna cum laude,

while I was working 40 hours a week,

nights and weekends at
the community college library.

My life has taken many turns.

I married at 16, I dropped out of school.

By the time I was 21,
I had three small children.

I had no idea that I would
end up going to college

and becoming a university professor.

Graduate school was very interesting for me

in a lot of ways.

I had this experience in a course

that was being taught by a white female,

she was actually a white liberal.

At some point in the classroom,

I'm sure I'd said something
that really irked her

because she turned to me and she yelled,

"You'll never be able to change the fact"

"that you're a black woman."

And I interpreted that to
mean that I was handicapped,

whether I knew it or not.

There I learned that I was black,
I was poor,

I was a woman, and that I was not supposed

to have accomplished the things

that I had already accomplished,
which was success.

By then, it was too late.

When I was a kid,
I went to a summer camp

in an area of California called Ukiah.

Really bucolic, flowers everywhere,
it was just wonderful.

There was a Boy Scouts jamboree,

and there were hundreds of Boy Scouts

from all over California.

And from what I can tell,

there were just a handful of blacks.

I was in a cabin with
maybe seven or eight kids,

and we'd been together now for three,
four days.

And there was one kid.

He and I got into some sort of argument,

I don't remember why,
and he called me a nigger.

And I literally had to
restrain the other kids

from killing this guy.

I mean, they were just gonna kill him.

They were more angry about it than I was.

And so, I never really felt
that those who are bigots,

the racists were in the majority.

I never really felt that.

I always felt that people who were bigots

intuitively were in the minority,

and most people didn't feel that way.

That seemed to be consistent

with my own personal experiences.

I was always confident.

I always knew I had a good memory,

made good grades, and my parents gave me

a lot of positive feedback because of that.

I always knew I was
going to be an achiever,

and it was no doubt about that.

The only doubt was the route.

There was never a time
when I thought of myself

as a victim, never, not one time.

You're afraid of being marginalized.

Welcome to what it feels like to be black.

A man caught on video
unleashing a racist rant.

An alleged racist incident.

Racial bias.

Racist tendencies.

Racism.
Racism from coast to coast.

The open racism.

Statements of racism.

He was brutally beaten by attackers

yelling racist and homophobic slurs.

A racist drifter.

Is it racism, is it sexism?

How do we get white people to see racism

as their problem too.

That was racist.
Racist.

Go back to Africa kind of racism.

Straight up racist.

Racist tweets.
Racist tweets.

Those tweets are racist.

A racial dog whistle.

The most successful black Americans today

are Nigerian-Americans,

because they're not
brainwashed by our media.

We've heard all about the big,
explosive cases

of racial injustice in America.

But that's not what most black
people in America deal with.

You deal with what we
call micro aggressions,

or a 1000 cuts of racism every single day.

I grew up being told of my disadvantages.

That this country is
unfair to black people.

You're black,
you're not gonna be able to do it.

You can't get this, you can't get that,

you can't get bank loans.

When you walk into a bank,

you will get a loan more
easily if you're a white guy.

The ideology is implanted
into you subconsciously

to believe these things.

We don't teach our
children to have confidence.

It's like we're brainwashed to think.

"Or is it because I'm black?"

"Why are they looking at me like that?"

How many of you feel judged?

How many of you feel feared on sight

when people see you?

Show of hands.

We teach them to be scared of this country,

to be scared of the
world that they live in.

It's like a cancerous plague

in the mind of black Americans.

You trying to say that this country

does not specialize in racism and bigotry?

I am saying that racism exists.

I am saying... Exists,

but you have the luxury.

You have the luxury
to be cavalier about it.

When you are angry,
it's very easy to be deceived.

It's very sad to see black
people operate in that.

There's a lot of members
in the black community,

who they're operating
in very negative energy.

I call out racism.

That is maddening to me,
and I'm crying about it

because it's crazy...

If you keep yourself in this constant state

of woe is me, I'm disadvantaged,

I'll never accomplish anything,

then you won't accomplish anything.

It will be a self-fulfilling
prophecy for you.

If you determine that
you can't be successful

or that you're oppressed,
then you are oppressed.

That's the power of the mind.

If you believe that you can't, you won't,

and you sure as hell won't try.

And black America has been programmed

to believe that we can't.

The country was founded
on racism and bigotry, David.

If you turn on a radio morning show.

If you a African-American
and the cops show up,

we don't know if we gon' make it out alive,
I'm sorry.

The message is clear.

If you broke and white in America,

you're wasting your whiteness.

And that's what's being fed

into the urban community.

White supremacy is the backbone

of political and economic
disenfranchisement of black folks.

So long as black people
continue to have their psyche

filled by that nonsense,
we won't have an awakening.

Trump is a racist.

He doesn't want more
brown and black people here...

It gets brainwashed
into you in multiple facets.

We tend to be geared towards entertainment.

You need to know

that a lot of your fans is racist.

People have used those
entertainment personalities

to convince us subconsciously
what we should believe.

If you like that nigga,
you motherfuckin' racist.

Fuck you and...

♪ Fuck Donald Trump ♪

♪ Fuck Donald Trump ♪

♪ Yeah, nigga, fuck Donald Trump ♪

I'm beginning to lose confidence

in the Trump administration.

Yeah, what do you think of that?

I think it's actually a great thing.

Jay Z has always been a drug dealer

to the black community.

He's very open about the fact

that he used to sell crack cocaine

when he was living in the projects,

and that's how he got ahead.

So,
he was selling something that was harming

the black community.

Well, he's still doing that.

He's still selling something

that's harming the black community,

and it's flying off the shelves,
and that's victimhood.

We have to have the conversation.

We have to have tough conversations.

We have to talk about the N-word,

and we have to talk about
why white men are so privileged

in this country.

Colin Kaepernick, same exact hustle.

This is a half-white man who's chosen

to pick his hair out to be an Afro,
to be black,

because right now victimhood is hot.

Colin Kaepernick is making a ton of money.

Jay Z is making a ton of money.

Is black America any better?

The communities are still hurting,

but they get to line their pockets

and we accept the same
type of crack cocaine.

The left gets away with this

because 80 to 90 % of
the primary sources of news

are left-wing.

My father was a janitor.

He was born in the Jim Crow south.

Fast forward, my father in his late 40s,

started a small business,

got a little bit of property.

This is what happens in America.

Raised three boys, educated them.

We have a thriving black middle class.

If black America were a country, Brooke,

it would be the 15th
wealthiest country in the world.

For crying out loud,
this is not your grandfather's America.

America is an idea.

That's why we're different
than every other country.

That's why we have freedoms
that other countries don't.

That's why entrepreneurs are birthed here.

That's why there's so
many millionaires here.

That's why black people
are doing better here

than anywhere else in the world.

It's very simple.

This ideology,
people begin to adopt around the world,

and they become successful.

It's an idea.

America is an idea.

Anybody who adopts the idea of America

will be American and successful.

If you don't adopt the idea,
you're not American.

You're not get that forward in America

if you don't pursue the American idea.

You wanna hold it?

I love that this country
values individuals.

As a black American in the United States,

I have autonomy in the things that I do

or are of my doing.

A lot people expect when you say farmer,

they're expecting wide tracts of land

and tractors and stuff,
but we don't have any of that.

And I realize when I
look back here every day,

I'm proud of what we've gotten done so far.

Started with chickens,
which is the gateway farming

to goats, rabbits, horses.

These are my goats, Posey and Zelda.

One's a Nubian and one's a Kiko.

A really badly bred Kiko.

This year is the first
year that I ever had goats.

Individualism,
independence and taking responsibility

for your actions and for your food.

I think that as for promoting
small government values.

When you do things yourself,

you don't need the
government to do it for you.

I think black Americans should believe

and uphold the ideas of
constitutional inherent rights.

Without those beliefs,
we wouldn't be where we are today.

I will support and defend the constitution

of the United States of
America against all enemies,

foreign and domestic.

I will bear true faith and
allegiance to the same,

that I take this obligation freely

without any purpose of
evasion or mental reservations,

so help me God.

We don't take an oath to a color,
to a party, to a person.

We take an oath to the
thing that binds us all together,

and that's our constitution,
that's our rule of law.

Those of us that understand that oath,

will always be guardians
of the American republic.

If I want to see this
nation that I love so dearly

continue on in the path of liberty, freedom

and individual rights,
then I gotta make sure

that subsequent
generations understand that.

They are willing to go out
and fight for it and defend it

just the same as I did.

Because I had a dad that
inculcated that into me.

Your green herring bones,
but take your hat first.

That's the green hat with a brim on it.

Try it on.
At the age of 15,

when my dad said that
there was no greater honor

than to wear the uniform

of the United States of America,

that's a powerful statement.

Coming from a man that was
born in 1920 down in the south.

Never heard him say a bad word

about the United States of America.

He went off to serve
and fight for this country,

even though this country did not see him

as it should have seen him.

But he wasn't a victim.

The black community really believe

that if they could show
that they were willing

to stand side by side with white Americans

and fight for liberties and freedoms,

that sooner or later,
people would understand

that we can't have this hypocrisy.

Executive order 9981 that
President Harry Truman signed

that desegregated our military.

He finally realized that if
we are true to ourselves

about the liberation of other people,

from the tyranny of Nazism, fascism

and Japanese imperialism,
we gotta be true to that here

in our own country,
in the United States of America.

And that's why Harry Truman's
picture hangs in my house.

That's why the principles of the founders

speak loudly to me.

Even though we face the difficulties

of today and tomorrow,
I still have a dream.

It is a dream deeply rooted
in the American dream.

I think it is an immoral posture

to hold the position that individuals,

whether they be Negroes or
members of other minority groups,

should have their basic constitutional

and God-given rights held up.

Self governance is what all

of those grassroots people were seeking.

They understood that the victimizer,

i.e. racism and discrimination
may have knocked you down,

but it's the victim that has to get up.

Hello, sister Tasha Fields.

Hi, this Rob Woodson, how are you?

Good, listen.

I wanna invite you and your husband

to join this consortium of ours.

We're calling it the 1776 Consortium,

to respond to the 1619 piece that was done

in the New York Times.

I'm not interested in
engaging in debate with them.

I'm saying,
we need an accurate portrayal of slavery,

but it doesn't totally
define the black condition.

We want our people to understand

that the future of black America

is not defined by slavery,

but by the kinds of things we did

and responds to these conditions,

similar to what you and
your husband has overcome.

So, I'm gonna send you if I could,

a invitation to formally join us.

Because what we would like to do...

I wish that it would be mandatory reading,

not just in the black community

but all across America,
to read the autobiography

of Booker T. Washington.

Here was a man that was born into slavery.

And when he learned that he was free,

his number one quest, his number one goal

was to get an education.

He walks from present day West Virginia

to Hampton, Virginia, to Hampton Institute,

so that he could show himself qualified

to enter that institution
and get an education.

When he established Tuskegee Normal

and Industrial Institute,

it wasn't just about the book learning,

it was about industrial learning.

It was about people being
able to take an education

and develop themselves into entrepreneurs

so that they could have self reliance.

There was a schism
between Booker T. Washington

and W.E.B. Du Bois.

Booker T. Washington
believed in the ability of someone

to get out there and work with industries

and show their value, by the talents

that they were able to develop,

by the businesses they
were able to create and open.

The W.E.B. Du Bois faction more so believed

in that protest orientated
demanding of rights

and things of this nature.

This is where you get the sellout,
Uncle Tom

and all of these things

that they used to demonize
Booker T. Washington.

But when you think about, in the long run,

who was right?

W.E.B. Du Bois was an avowed socialist,

who became an avowed communist,

who renounced his American citizenship.

But the institution that Booker
T. Washington established

is still there today.

We need to go back and understand

what Booker T. Washington was really,

his philosophy,
what he was trying to get us to understand.

There's nothing wrong with hard work.

There's nothing wrong
with working your way up

from the bottom.

Much the same as his autobiography says,
up from slavery.

I had a college student ask me one time,

how did you deal with color and race

when you were climbing
the corporate ladder?

My answer, I didn't.

Let them deal with it.

I didn't focus on that, I didn't have time.

I went to the president
of the Pillsbury company

and said, "I need to get involved"

"in some other aspects of the corporation,"

"because I want to run one
of the business units one day."

So, he said, "We need a
lotta leadership in Burger King."

"You have to go and spend
two weeks at Whopper College."

There really is a Whopper College in Miami.

I graduated summa cum laude.

I was working for the
Department of the Navy.

The same day that I started,
another white gentleman

named Robert started working there also.

We had very similar jobs.

So, the first 12 months,
I got outstanding performance

four quarters in a row.

Second year, outstanding
performance fur quarters in a row.

And Robert got outstanding performance.

But Robert was getting
his GS salary increase

at least two months sooner than me.

So, I went to Wayne,
my supervisor and said,

"Robert and I are both doing a great job."

He said, "Yeah."

"But why is he getting little
increases quicker than me?"

He said, "He has a Master's degree."

I said, "Oh, it's not because he's white?"

"Nope, he has a Master's degree."

So, you know what I did?

I didn't get mad.

I went and got me a Master's degree.

There are only four rungs to this ladder.

Went back, sat down with Wayne.

I said, "Well, I got a Master's degree."

"That says next time you
have opening for a promotion,"

I said, "Keep me in mind."

"See you around."

And not long after that,
they had a special project

called a rocket assisted projector.

They had to have someone

who was gonna be the GS 13
supervisor and mathematician,

to do the special ballistics

on this rocket assisted projector.

I got the promotion.

And I had eight white
people working for me.

It was all about performance,
not the color of your skin.

So, since I now had that Master's degree

and I had proved myself, I got the job.

When I decided to live Dahlgren,

never forget the department head.

And he called me up for an exit interview.

And I'll never forget Ross,
I think he's deceased now.

He said, "You know,
you have taught me something."

I said, "What?"

He said, "I had never worked
with a black person before."

"You taught me, don't judge somebody"

"by the color of their skin."

I grew up primarily around black people.

Primarily in what we call
the Afrocentric perspective.

That mean, everything in life

was seen from the lens
of being black in America.

I used to have gold teeth in my mouth.

I got young savage
tattooed across my stomach.

I got my hood tattooed on my forearm.

So, I kinda had this whole hip hop culture,

negative, angry mentality.

I grew up believing that white people

did not like black people.

And that no matter what you did in life,

the white man is gonna hold you down.

My parents didn't teach
me that I was a victim,

but there were other influences that did.

Whether we're talking
about uncles and aunts,

from the hip hop industry, the media.

It painted a picture of
the black man in America

as being in a constant state of distress,

a constant state of disadvantage.

And I have relatives of mine
who bought into that message.

And I even bought into that
message before I was born again.

The only people I knew
who existed in my life

and who I could pick to be role models

were athletes and rappers.

So, many of you guys have
watched my political awakening.

I've been pretty much in
front of everybody on the stage

when I've had this reckoning,

but there's one person
who totally transformed

the way that I thought.

There was a video that I saw on YouTube

and it was Larry Elder.

Oh my God,
they always call me the sunken place demon.

I think it's the funniest thing...

Larry Elder is my mentor.

I can call him any time about any topic,

'cause there are still spots
of ignorance that I have.

I'm having to contend with the fact

that all I have is the
media narrative of things,

and he lived through it, he saw it,

and he'll tell me exactly
what to look up and research.

Larry Elder was at the forefront

of being a thought leader,

in terms of questioning
prevalent narratives

of the black community.

Especially with regards
to individual accountability.

If you have parents who
care about education,

there are books around
and you're immersed in it,

you're gonna have a better situation

than somebody else with the same IQ

whose parents don't have
that kind of motivation,

who don't immerse you in education.

Environment absolutely has a role.

He provided a huge part of my awakening.

One video of him with Dave Reuben,

and I went, "Oh my goodness!"

"I've been so ignorant."

You wouldn't not acknowledge

that there are some systemic issues.

Give me an example.

Tell me what you think the most systemic,
racist issue is.

What is it?

Well, I would say that because black people

in most cases, in many cases,

were descendants of slaves,
that racism as an institution...

In 2015?
A certain amount if it

just exists.
In 2015?

Give me the most blatant racist example

you can come up with right now.

I think you could probably find evidence

that in general cops are more willing

to shoot if the perpetrator
is black than white.

What's your basis for saying that?

Look, I know a lot of people would say,

"Look what's going on in Chicago."

I know what they would say,

I'm talking about what the facts are.

965 people were shot by
cops last year and killed.

4 % of them were white
cops shooting unarmed blacks.

In Chicago in 2011,
21 people were shot and killed by cops.

In 2015, there were seven.

In Chicago, which is 1/3 black, 1/3 white

and 1/3 Hispanic, 70 % of the homicides

are black on black.

About 40 per month, almost 500 per year

last year in Chicago,

and 75 % of them are unsolved.

Where is the Black Lives Matter on that?

The idea that a racist white cop

shooting unarmed black
people is a peril to black people

is BS, is complete and total...

A white guy can say
all this stuff all he want.

It's facts or it's not.

But Larry Elder did something different.

What this lie does,
it causes young, black men

to be confrontational with cops

instead of cooperating,
and it causes the cops to pull back

for fear that they'd be called racist...

I saw a black man that
reminded me of myself

and other people I grew up with.

And I said, he's black,
he came from a similar background.

How did he come to these conclusions?

It's incomparable to have porous borders

and a welfare state.

So, I think it's just common sense to say,

if you come here,
you ought not be a charge on taxpayers.

Why is that so controversial?

In order to be persuaded
or to like someone's work,

you don't have to share a race with them.

However,
we're talking about a very important,

fundamental shift,
like a breaking of the frame.

What's the purpose of an SAT?

The purpose of the SAT is to make sure

the student can do the freaking work

that's required of him or her

once they get admitted
to that given university.

So, if you give 'em adjusted score

because of their disadvantaged nature,

that does not give them the ability

to compete at the school and succeed.

So,
all you're gonna do is create more dropouts

than we already have,

because of race based preferences.

You're talking about
breaking a very major narrative,

shattering a glass ceiling.

A lot of young black
people are discovering me

and consider me to be
something of a mentor,

the way I considered Thomas
Sowell and Walter Williams.

Black people have never taken a position

that you describe.

So, it is not a question of
what black people chose.

It is what you choose to put
in the mouths of black people.

It's what you choose to project.

We didn't learn about these guys.

I didn't know who Thomas
Sowell was until four years ago.

The engineer is judged by the end product

which is not simply ideas.

If he builds a building that collapses,

it doesn't matter how
brilliant his idea was,

or he's ruined.

Conversely,
if an intellectual who's brilliant

has an idea for rearranging society,

and that ends in disaster,
he pays no price at all.

To hear Thomas Sowell destroy

all of this so-called data,

that the so-called enlightened among us

were using to try to get their way

and to try to shape policy...

But you would also have to agree

that generally speaking,
women are paid less for example,

for the same jobs as men.

No, I would not.

I would not agree with that.

You're talking about women.

With the same number
of years of experience.

With the same continuous service,
et cetera, et cetera.

Then when I look at that,
I don't find that disparity.

I find for example, in many cases,
the women are making more

depending on how you break the data down.

The difference with women

is between married
women and everybody else.

If his message would have
somehow penetrated through

all of the nonsense,
and all of the manufactured,

preconceived notion that I bought into

and settled itself in my mind,

he would've been a huge influence for me.

Why wouldn't they teach us
about Thomas Sowell in school?

I know Lebron James.

I know you guys are excited to see her.

I didn't know you guys would
be excited to see me too,

but thank you.

I know all of these rappers.

I don't know Thomas Sowell.

I don't know about Walter Williams.

I've always been a radical.

I've always challenged the status quo.

If there's one person that you think

black America would be celebrating...

I supported things like minimum wage laws

'cause I thought it was a good idea.

Until I ran into some professor, he said,

"Well, look Walter,
let's look at the effects"

"of the minimum wage law,"

"as opposed to looking at the intentions."

They gave me material to read
and then I changed my mind.

It's like havin' a very successful family

that you never knew you had.

Until your grandfather dies

and y'all meet at the funeral.

While I was hangin' out
with my cousin smokin' weed,

we got people in our family
that have gone to Harvard.

We have people in our
family that own businesses.

Highly successful.

Why have you hidden this from me?

It's unfortunate but history
is written by academics,

and academia is a tool of the left.

If you find a very educated black American,

somebody who got a
4.0 at a public high school,

they're actively learning
their history wrong.

That's a part of the
uphill battle that we have.

Is that if you are educated,
you're actually mis-educated.

When I was growing up,
my mom was a Democrat,

remained a Democrat her entire life.

My dad was a Republican,

remained a Republican his entire life.

By the way, most blacks were Republican

until the New Deal.

My dad was born in 1915,

and my dad like most people
his age was a Republican.

He never changed.

My mom became a democrat in large part

because of Franklin Roosevelt.

To 30 millions of our citizens,

who will reap direct benefits

through unemployment compensation.

Most blacks were Republican

to the extent that they could
vote before the New Deal.

And when the New Deal came,

a number of blacks switched
over to the New Deal.

That switch has continued.

Only a few months before his tragic death,

President Kennedy called
on the American Congress

to pass the most far
reaching Civil Rights bill

in the nation's history.

To protect the constitutional
rights of all citizens.

The shift came with
the presidential election

between Richard Nixon and John F. Kennedy.

Martin Luther King Jr. Had been imprisoned,

and both sides asked their
respective presidential candidate

to give a courtesy call
to Coretta Scott King

and offer their condolences
and their support

and what have you.

The rumor got out that John F. Kennedy did.

And so, the next thing you know,

and every house down south,

and I can say this from my own eyeballs.

There were three pictures
that hung in the living room

of any black home down south.

It was Jesus Christ, Martin Luther King Jr.

And John F. Kennedy.

John Kennedy promoted a dramatic tax cut.

He was a coal warrior, he was a hunter,

he believed in the Second Amendment.

John Kennedy's
collection of views right now

would make him a Republican.

He would not be welcome
within the Democratic party.

No memorial, oration or eulogy

could more eloquently honor
President Kennedy's memory

than the earliest possible passage

of the Civil Rights bill for
which he fought so long.

It goes back to the mid-1960s

as to why blacks believe
they should be Democrats.

In 1964, the Civil Rights Act passed.

Lyndon Johnson signed it.

1965, the Voting Rights Act passed.

Lyndon Johnson signed it.

So, he got credit for those
two major pieces of legislation.

But here's what they don't tell you.

There was a larger percentage
of Republicans in Congress,

in both instances that voted for it

than the percentage of
Democrats that voted for it.

Who enabled the Civil
Rights legislation in '64 to pass

was Senate Republicans,
led by Everett Dirksen.

Everett Dirksen got an award from the NAACP

for helping to shepherd
the act into fruition.

Most blacks are unaware of that.

I didn't study that kind of
stuff when I was in history.

President Johnson was able to get

the Civil Rights bill passed,

and it was perceived that it was an effort

on the part of the Democrats.

And so that's a perception and a narrative

that has been created,
that caused the community

to connect that event, momentous event

to the Democratic party.

And they have been using that idea

to effectively create a perception

that the best friend to the black community

is the Democratic party,
which is far from the truth.

Black people have been taught

that the Democratic
party wears the white hat

when it comes to Civil
Rights and racial justice,

and Republicans have been described

as wearing the black hat.

If resistance to the Federal
Court order ceases at once,

the further presence of Federal
troops will be unnecessary.

And the city of Little Rock

will return to its normal
habits of peace and order.

And a blot upon the fair name

and high honor of our nation in the world

will be removed.

Dwight Eisenhower was responsible

for bringing the civil rights
issues to the forefront.

I have a dream, that one day...

It was a movement that
was challenging America

to embrace its ideas.

Those ideas that were found

in the Declaration of Independence,

that all men are created equal.

To hold our society, America,

to the principles that were
found in the constitution.

And those constitutional principles

that protect our liberties,

and protect our individual rights,

is what that civil rights
movement was all about.

There must be a revolution
of values in our country.

Because some of the
values that presently exist

are certainly out of line with the values

and the idealistic structure

that brought our nation into being.

Unfortunately,
we haven't been true to these ideals.

It was signed under the hope

that that piece of legislation

would open up opportunities for the blacks.

To have equal access,
to have first class citizenship,

have better economic opportunities.

That was the dream that
Dr. Martin Luther King talked about.

Al Gore's father, Al Gore Sr.,

worked with other Democrats

to mount what was at the time,

the longest filibuster in
the history of the Senate.

To prevent the bill from
ever getting onto the floor

for a vote.

Al Gore's dad by the way died a Democrat.

He didn't make a big switch
to join the racist Republicans.

Whenever I began to read
the Republican party platform,

I didn't find one thing in there

that I felt as a black man targeted me.

I began to wonder, well,
if I can't find anything

in their platform,
maybe I can find something

in the Republican party's past

that gives me an example
of how they targeted me

as a black man.

And I started with Abraham Lincoln,
who was a Republican.

You can argue,
he signed the Emancipation Proclamation

as a war strategy,
and you could argue that.

But at the end of the day,

the fact of the matter is
that it was a Republican

who signed the Emancipation Proclamation.

And then if you fast
forward to women suffrage,

it was a Republican
Chief Justice in William Taft

that struck down laws that made it illegal

for women to vote.

If you look at Jim Crow.

It was Republican votes in
the Senate and in the House

that was able to rid
this country of Jim Crow.

When we look at the history
of entities like the KKK,

it was specifically intended

to suppress the African-Americans

and keep them from voting
for Republicans specifically.

That was always what
the KKK was founded to do.

A lot of black people
were voting for Democrats

because they were being forced to.

If you don't vote for Democrats,

the Ku Klux Klan are gonna come

and lynch your eldest son.

And so, you fast forward to today,

the message is still the same.

If you don't vote for Democrats,

the Republicans are gonna come.

They can turn back voting rights.

They can turn back many of the things

that people suffered and died for.

Didn't nobody donate
to us the right to vote.

It's the same Democratic party.

It's just,
they learned to play the game better.

We in the same ship.

It's the same suit just worned over.

It ain't nothing change.

The same party is doing the same thing

they always been doing.

Party of division, the party of power.

If you're a minority, you're smart,

you can believe what you wanna believe,

support what you wanna support,

you are free to do these things.

We don't have to support one person.

You don't have to drink
at this one water fountain.

We are free to make choices.

It's like, okay, that's great.

I choose to be a Republican, and when whoa!

Everybody stop.

He is encouraging a generation of foolish,
young people.

These are lost, disturbed,
self-loathing people.

Notice that all of those
youngsters had caps on.

It was almost like,
we're gonna dress you for the photo.

It's gone like from physical restrictions,

but now, in the 21st century

as we're reaching the information age,

it's a become a sort of
metaphysical restriction

as to what a minority can and can't do.

Minorities shouldn't think this way.

Minorities shouldn't support these people.

Minorities shouldn't believe these things.

Black conservatives today,

or anybody that has a
black conservative message,

we are the people that
are escaping the plantation.

The liberal will try to
control a black person

through the concept of racism,

because they know that we are very proud,
emotional people.

What was your reaction when black slaves

escaped the plantation?

It was swift.

What I saw was a minstrel show today.

Him in front of all of these white people

embarrassing himself.

When minorities don't support

the agenda of the Democrats or the left,

all of a sudden,
the restrictions they put on years ago

in a physical realm,

they're now doing in a metaphysical realm.

But are we 100 % convinced?

Are we back on the Kanye
is not sick and off his meds?

He really has a problem
pumping the break here

mentally and emotionally.

Maybe he was missing his medication.

Though makes clear that he has struggled

and admitted diagnoses for
personal mental health issues.

Anybody who threatens their
95 % monolithic black vote

is an enemy.

They've gotta be dealt with,
they've gotta be put down.

Another stunning act of terror...

A mass shooting at two
mosques in New Zealand.

He claims to have been
radicalized by Candace Owens.

Saying that she was an inspiration to him.

She has responded sarcastically.

Few events I have not been blamed for.

Brazilian mining dam collapse.

Chinese air smog.

Tenerife air crash, 1973.

She's not taking this at all seriously.

What do you think the press is doing

when you try to smear someone
as having a mental disorder

and when you say that someone

is inspiring a mosque shooting.

Or you're trying to
make it so that my career

is effectively cut off.

You're trying to make it
so that nobody talks to me,

so that I'm considered sort of this reject.

I just have to say that
I object strenuously

to your use of the word hilarious.

To me, this feels a lot like your reaction

to being named on one of these manifestos.

Now, you're of course not responsible

for the words of somebody
writing that document.

But I do think that laughing
at it is a real problem,

because these are real families

that are impacted by this violence.

I'm a black female who came from poverty.

I should be at the top
of the progressive stack.

I should be receiving awards.

They should be calling me,
inviting me on the red carpet

to share my story, but they're not.

Why?

Because I'm not saying
what they want me to say.

You would rather assign
meaning to a homicidal maniac

than to actually address
the things that I said today

that are actually harming black America.

Number one, father absence.

Number two, the education system

and the illiteracy rate.

Allele immigration ranks high,
abortion ranks high,

white supremacy and white nationalism,

if I had to make a list
again of 100 things,

would not be on it.

This hearing in my opinion is a farce,

and it is ironic that you're sitting here

and you're having three
Caucasian people testify,

and tell you what their expertise are.

Do I know what my expertise are?

Black in America.

I've been black in America my whole life.

All 30 years, and I can tell you,

that you guys have
done the exact same thing

every four years ahead of an election cycle

and it needs to stop.

I think probably the most hated

political person in America,
is a black conservative.

And that's because we
refute the entire philosophy

of the Democratic party.

I think the fact that a black person

can start in government housing,

and go on to be one of the
most successful brain surgeons

ever to exist,

that's somebody you should emulate.

That's someone you should idolize.

That's someone you
should put on a pedestal.

Came from nothing, became a neurosurgeon,

one of the greatest men in the world.

Some of things he done,
nobody's ever done in the world.

He was the first person to perform surgery

on conjoined twins at the brain.

No one wanted to do that.

And he did that as a black man.

I don't think myself as a surgeon,

just a guy people pay to stab their brain

until they're healthy.

A quick back story on Dr. Ben
for those who don't know.

He's a former brain surgeon

and Republican presidential candidate,

who our celebrity in chief,
Donald ♪. Trump,

nominated as his HUD secretary in 2017,

despite him having
zero relevant experience.

Ben Carson is a very intelligent person.

To ignore that and say like,
oh well, he's a doctor.

He has no business in government.

Really?

So we can't even have people

who are smart enough to be doctors

in the government now?

Like, who do you want to
be in the government then?

Just because Dr. Ben Carson

is a well educated neurosurgeon,

who doesn't speak fluent nigger

doesn't mean he's acting white.

So, I don't agree with calling people Oreos

but I can see why you would
call Dr. Ben Carson one.

Ben Carson, do you pass the black test?

You know, I grew up in
Detroit and I grew up in Boston.

In Boston, we lived in the ghetto.

Excuse me, you grew up in a what?

A ghetto?

A ghetto?

That sounds like a French
person saying cat in Spanish.

What is that?

What kind of black person says, "Ghetto."

Mother I'm straight outta Compton.

This kind of crap goes on all the time.

They're trying to say
he is not black enough.

I was at a Popeyes organization,

and then I deposited basketballs

at the urban athletic complex.

Thereafter, I rounded out the night

by making it precipitate

at a ladies clothing removal facility.

We wanna shun him.

He's a sellout, he's a coon.

We wanna remove his name off of schools.

The Detroit school board now considering

stripping the name of HUD
secretary Dr. Ben Carson

off of a local school, over his ties,
yes, to the president.

I've cringed when I've seen the way

people like Ben Carson
get treated by the media.

For example,
when Carson first became HUD secretary,

he gave a speech where he
likened slaves to immigrants.

A land of dreams and opportunity.

There were other immigrants who came here

in the bottom of slave ships,

worked even longer, even harder for less.

But they too had a dream.

And he got fried,
especially in the black media.

Like we actually came
here on our own accord.

Shackled.

Beat.

Shot, killed,
on our way here to find a better life.

How does he miss that no slave

came to this country willingly?

This is one of the most atrocious acts

of historical revisionism
that one might imagine.

It wasn't always easy for new immigrants.

Certainly it wasn't easy
for those of African heritage

who had not come here voluntarily,

and yet in their own way
were immigrants themselves.

Obama said the very same thing
at least 11 times.

Nobody said anything.

The left claims it
advocates for black people,

but they really advocate
for left wing black people.

Reagan won Pennsylvania
by the margin of despair.

By the margins of
fracture of our coalition.

Your time has come.

Pick up your slingshot, pick up your rock.

Declare our time has come.

When I became old enough to vote,

I registered as a Democrat,

because that's what the black people did.

I suffer for it because
I started to believe

what the Democratic party was saying.

I believed into their lie.

Louis Farrakhan would come out here to LA

and he would give talks at The Forum,

and he talked about how bad
the old blue-eyed devil was.

We and white people are mortal enemies.

They were not made to be our friends.

They were made to be our enemies,

and they are that,
and they can't be nothing but that.

They're locked into that.

There ain't no redemption for them.

That is why I challenge
you now to stand together.

I would listen to Jesse Jackson.

Raise your fists together

and engage in our
national black listening...

I would listen to them, and they would say

and it's all white people fault.

And so, I started to believe

because nobody else was
opposing what they were saying.

And for the first time in my life,

I started to resent white people.

I suffered for it.

I finally got over it
but I suffered for it.

When I turned 30-something,
I started asking questions like,

if the white man is holding
me back because I'm black,

why is it that they're not
holding Jesse Jackson

and his family back,
the so-called NAACP and all of them.

Their kids went to the best school,

they had father and mothers in their homes

and they were doing very well.

And so, I wonder,
why is it that they're not holding

those people back if
they're holding me back

because I'm black.

And that's when I
realized I've been lied to.

And everything started changing.

Jesse Jackson is a racist demagogue,

and he's built a career

on keeping black people down.

Keeping 'em angry, brainwashing them

to control them for his own personal gain.

And they have lost that power...

Speak your mind, Reverend.

I grew up in Alabama on a plantation,

and I grew up under Jim Crow laws.

They deliberately kept us down

by causing us to become angry,
destroying the family

and demoralizing black people.

And so,
what we're trying to do is wake them up

to that reality.

When I was growing up,
I was just taught good and evil,

right versus wrong.

I had never even heard the word racism.

We knew that it was a spiritual battle

between right and wrong, good and evil.

There was no such thing as racism, sexism

or homophobia-ism, Islamophobia-ism.

Or there be that ism, or white supremacism.

It didn't exist.

That only came about when
we allowed the Democrats

to take over.

They start making up words to deceive us.

We've got to deal with
homophobia in our communities.

Including the black community.

A lot of the black civil rights leaders

have abandoned the moral high ground,

and have perverted
the civil rights movement

to the point where it's become

a part of a race grievance industry.

We're on the brink of undoing

what Dr. King and others went to jail for.

Blacks have been convinced

that they're supposed to respect you,

if you have the title, reverend or pastor,

even if you're no good.

You probably can't even remember

a sermon from Al Sharpton.

Reverend Al Sharpton.

He's a reverend of what?

In politics, the road to the White House

took a detour through Harlem today.

It is like a rite of passage
for Democratic candidates,

as an outreach to the
African-American community.

Well toady, South Bend,
Indiana mayor, Pete Buttigieg

had lunch at Sylvia's
with Reverend Al Sharpton.

Barack Obama dined here in 2008.

So did Bernie Sanders in 2016.

I could tell the Negroes
to go left and they'll go left.

How much are you willing to pay me

to get the Negroes to do
what I want them to do?

They're the ones that
receive the contributions

to say, "Hey,
let's keep these people subjugated."

"Let's keep them voting for us,"

"and you do what is necessary."

"And help us to squelch these voices"

"that are rising up in
opposition to what we believe."

They're leading the narratives

that others want them to lead.

And today, we shall pour outrage

is when you keep pressing people down.

If we can get the black community

to hate the police,
then they'll keep breaking laws.

So they gotta keep black people angry,

stirred up angry, ticked off.

How else do you get 95 % of people

to pull the lever for a party,

whose views are absolutely inconsistent

with the best interests
of the country in general

and of the best interests
of black people in particular.

We still advocate nonviolence

with passive resistance,
and still determined to use

the weapon of love.

But we are still insisting emphatically

that violence is self defeating.

That he who lives by the
sword will perish by the sword.

Martin Luther King was a pastor.

He was a genuine pastor.

That's why Martin Luther
King can't be around.

He can't leave.

He's too powerful.

The anger building up in a community

which causes people to riot

and to tear things down
and to burn things up,

it goes to show that black
people don't feel these days

like we're building anything.

That we're contributing to anything.

When it comes America,

black people helped build this country.

When you look back at
the history of black people

here in America,
once we were free from slavery,

we were successful in ways,
and we overcame things

and we did things far beyond

our predecessors could have imagined.

Simply because we had
that almost instinctively in us.

As blacks emerged from slavery,

minute percentage could read or write.

And yet in 1/2 a century,

over 1/2 the black population was literate.

And economic historians call that

one of the most
remarkable things in history.

So, in the late 1800s,

we had actually in not
very well documented boon

of African American proliferation

into the political space,
into the entrepreneurial space.

And we had real movers and shakers

in our communities who
were doing real things.

Because at one time,
blacks were Republicans,

and you dominated.

Those seven years after the Civil War,

you were Republicans.

You had more blacks in the
House and Senate than you do now,

and you dominated your
own economic communities.

You did that as Republicans.

But then what happened
was that Democrats realized

they could still control us

by enacting new laws to
suppress our civil liberties.

That brings us to the rise of Jim Crow.

The Jim Crow era and
Ruby Bridges going to school,

that happened in the 1950s,
1960s, that general era.

But we had Hiram Rhodes Revels

and many other African-Americans

rise to positions of
power in the political space

in the late 1800s.

So, there's this gap of missing
achievement that we have,

and that is what the KKK,

that is what the Jim Crow
laws did to our community.

You can't depend on a government school

to teach you raw history.

You're gonna see people
like even Frederick Douglas

become less and less and less celebrated,

and less and less and less popular

because he doesn't
really fit the narrative.

He was a Republican, very American.

When they wanna teach
you somebody that was great

in black American history and
they happen to be Republican,

they don't tell you that element.

And they also, and this is
sort of one of the biggest myths

that they tell you,
that the parties completely switched.

They have to say the parties switched.

They have to.

Because they can't acknowledge

that they're part of
all of the worst things

that have ever happened
to black people in history.

And if you know better

and you know the parties didn't switch,

and you just look at today,

there's still a part of
every negative thing

that have happened to
black people in America.

Let's just take one issue.

And that's the issue we've
talked abut for a long time

and that's vouchers.

They have to pass through metal detectors.

They're faced by security guards

looking for hidden weapons.

They're watched over by armed police.

You're required to send your kid to a school

where only 3 % of kids
can do math at grade level,

because you have no option.

Republicans want you to have an option.

But Republicans of course are racist

so you can't vote for them, right?

What a dilemma!

Slave codes in the early 19th century

made it illegal for black
Americans to learn to read, why?

Because if slaves could read,
they could access information.

I don't believe that much has changed.

If the parties did switch

and Democrats really are the party

of, for and by minorities,

then why do they react so viciously

when you introduce legislation

that would help the minorities
by giving them school choice?

There's answers to all these questions.

But you have to be the one to find them.

Because no one else is going to tell you

the inconvenient truth.

The welfare state is slavery 2.0.

The biggest falsehood, the biggest lie

that gets repeated is that
the kind of disorganization

and chaos and violence

and self-destruction that we're witnessing

in the black community is
somehow a legacy of slavery

and Jim Crow.

That is just a lie.

Because if that were so,
between 1930 and 1940,

during the years of the depression,

when segregation and
racism was enshrined in laws,

when there was no black
representation in government,

even in the face of
these horrible conditions,

the black community had
the highest marriage rate

of any group in society.

Our institutions served
as an anchor for us.

And so therefore, elderly people could walk

in their neighborhood without fear

of being assaulted by their grandchildren.

Our business formation rate was high then.

Has yielded a 1/2 million dollar yearly growth.

If we were able to accomplish

the building of hospitals,
dental schools, hotels,

movie theaters, Vaudeville theaters.

If we were able to accomplish this

and not engage in the
kind of self-destruction...

What's the proper way to mug a nigga?

You know, walked on him,
grab him by his hood and,

one to the head.
One to the head.

I'm a hit you one time in the head,

two times in the chest.

How can you explain that?

How is that possible in a society

that has experienced
so much social progress,

that we are seeing a decline
in the black community?

The statistics of illegitimacy, crime rates

and illiteracy have worsened

since the time of segregation and Jim Crow.

Before the war on poverty launched,

87 % of blacks lived
below the federally defined

level of poverty in 1940.

By 1960, that number had decreased to 47 %.

A 40-point drop in 20 years.

That's probably the greatest
economic prosperity period

for blacks in the history of this country,

and this all happened
before affirmative action,

before the so-called war on poverty.

Back then it was commonplace

to have both parents in the home.

If you made a commitment
and you marry somebody

and you had kids, you stay with 'em.

It wasn't just about your immediate family.

It was also about your church family.

In those days, black men were in control.

The black woman respected the black man.

Having a strong father
showed me how to be a man.

It also showed me how to treat a woman.

When I was young,
I remember going to open house

and everybody's parents were there,
everybody's.

Up until 1962-'63,
85 % of all black families

had a man and a woman raising children.

But that all changed in the '60s.

If you estimate that the welfare is paying,

I guess, six,
$7 billion dollars a year in benefits,

how much would you say is
denied by these illegal practices?

The architect of this destruction

was Cloward and Piven.

The American public welfare system

is only expanding 1/2 of
what it should be expanding

if it were reaching all of the people

who are eligible under existing statutes.

So, we think welfare costs
should probably double.

A couple of renowned sociologists

at the Columbia University
School of Social Work.

And their theory was, if we could separate

work from income,
it would make men redundant,

and if we can just remove
the stigma from welfare

and entice more people
to flood the welfare system,

it will bankrupt cities and the country.

The welfare rights movement and the lawyers

are challenging man in the house rules,

and other kinds of requirements
which are restricting.

This, I presume would be additional people

who could become
eligible for additional money

if these were challenged.

Yes, that would raise the cost even more.

To recruit people into the welfare system,

we relaxed the rules.

If a woman had to declare paternity

in order to qualify for welfare,
the ACLU sued

and said this is a violation
of our privacy rights.

They also said that the nuclear family,

Ozzie and Harriet,
was Eurocentric and therefore racist.

The women's movement concurred with that.

The Black Power movement also agreed.

Millions of blacks in a
period of less than four years

flooded into the welfare
system in major cities.

At a time when the unemployment rate

for blacks in New York for males

was less than 4 %.

If I could get me a job
where I could be my own man.

Don't make think that
they feelin' sorry for me.

Give me this, give me what I need,

just like a pet, like a dog.

You have to be fed now.

Give him some food.

What you then saw is a consequence

of separating work from income.

The out-of-wedlock births
in the black community

began to skyrocket.

Went from under 25 % to 70 %.

It is a neutron bomb that
was dropped on this country,

and it really hurt families,
especially the black family.

During slavery, a black kid was more likely

to be raised under a roof
with his biological mother

and biological father than today.

The welfare state has done more to destroy

and destabilize the black
family than even slavery did.

We allowed them to remove the fathers

from our homes.

Removing the backbone of our families.

I remember my dad used to be hard on us,

making us fold clothes
and washing dishes properly.

And if we didn't, we got a whooping.

If we didn't 'em right,
or if we didn't do 'em

when he told us to do 'em.

And I didn't like him
when he did that to us.

My dad made me a
responsible man by doing that.

And it just really made me wonder

like what if he wasn't there?

I'm very blessed to be who I am today,

and a lot of that had to
do with the upbringing

I had from my father,

who was in the house,
who made sure that we were in school,

who made sure that we were clothed,

that we had shelter, that we had food.

That was my father.

When I was growing up, fathers led.

And you knew not to be
fighting and carrying 'em

because you had respect for the elderly,

and you respect yourself

because you represented your parents

when you're out there.

But that representation is no longer there

because the man is not there.

If you look at every major issue

facing the black community today,

it can be stemmed back to fatherlessness.

You see black people joining gangs.

They're joining the gang
to simulate a family unit.

Family unit can be solved with the father.

Don't understand what it's like,
how to treat a woman,

how to be respectful,
how to earn a living the legal way.

They didn't have a father in their home

that taught them these things.

And then that father didn't
have a father in his home.

So, this generational fatherlessness

is far more dangerous
to the black community

than institutional or generational racism.

If there is a strong man in the household,

people aren't eligible for these benefits.

So, you see how it kinda
starts and it just grows

and grows and grows.

With the political left, this whole idea

that government can
bring people out of poverty

and that government
can fix all the problems,

we know that government can't do that.

That government can't raise a family.

Who like man.

This job.

You can't have the pizza.

I said, "I want the money and your car."

Dequandre Weaver was 14 years old

when this video was shot,

and this week a judge sentenced him

to serve 20 years in
prison for a list of felonies.

Because the left has
promoted the welfare state,

has encouraged women
to marry the government,

has allowed men to abandon their financial

and moral responsibility,
we have these problems.

It is no wonder that you have the chaos.

More blacks are killing
other blacks in one year

than the Klan killed in 70 years.

We are on autopilot in the destruction

of our own communities.

Black on black crime is
something that our media tells us

that we're not allowed to talk about.

Over 93 % of black homicide victims

are killed by other black people.

We are not supposed to be outraged,

and we're not told to remember
the names of those victims.

Because if we begin to focus on that area,

something that is causing real harm

and devastation to our communities,

we might uncover the truth.

Our inner cities are
all by Democrat design.

Like Chicago,
like Baltimore and like Detroit.

They have been run by
Democrats for decades.

We have been made to believe

that the conditions in
our cities are normal.

We're supposed to turn a blind eye

to the corruption, to the crime,
to the gangs, and instead,

focus on what our media
deems of more importance.

We're instead told that
we should be focusing

on white people.

We're supposed to be
reactive and angry and fearful

about white supremacy, when in fact,

it is liberal supremacy that
is harming our communities.

In the inner cities, who's killing who?

Back in slavery,
they used to rip the families apart,

take the father out of the home.

Now we removing ourselves from the home.

These are things that I believe

have gotten us to the point

where we are on autopilot
for the liberal movement.

You begin to ask yourself,

why is it that more black
women are getting abortions

than any other ethnic group?

And you begin to look at maps

of where these Planned
Parenthood clinics are situated.

77 % of Planned Parenthood abortion pills

are located in the inner cities.

Somehow, the script was flipped,

and so it became a
civil right to abort a child.

It is her body, it is her right,
it is her decision.

It became a woman's reproductive right,

but nobody really examined
the motives behind it.

52 % of all African-American
pregnancies end in abortion.

1786 a day, and since 1973,

over 20 million African-Americans

have been killed by abortion alone.

For more federal funding
for Planned Parenthood.

The Democratic party
has always been focused

on pushing eugenics and
abortion on the black community.

Margaret Sanger,
the woman that ultimately founded

what became Planned Parenthood,

believed that certain
people were degenerate,

were unworthy of living.

And if you're one of those persons,

perfectly okay for you to be eliminated.

Whether you're talking about

Margaret Sanger strategies back then,

or you're talking about
Planned Parenthood's tactics

of today,
they're still able to Trojan Horse

the black community.

That is to deliver this message

of, "We're for women's health."

"We're for the black community."

More than 1/2 of Planned
Parenthood's centers

are located in areas without
ready access to healthcare.

Here you have the left wing
embracing Planned Parenthood,

embracing the pro-choice movement,

completely oblivious to the
fact that Margaret Sanger

was not particularly fond of poor,
black people,

who in her view could
not make it on their own.

I think the greatest sin in the world

is bringing children into the world

that have disease from their parents,

that have no chance in the world

to be a human being practically.

Delinquents, prisoners,
all sorts of things,

just marked when they're born.

That to me is the greatest sin.

I see black people argue
that if a woman is poor,

she shouldn't have a child.

If that were the case,
a lot of black people that I know

who have done great things in life

would never have been born,

and I would have been one of them.

The Billboard's idea that abortion is genocide

has made a comeback in some
parts of the black community.

Our population growth has stagnated.

Fueling this is the growing number of Latinos

who have fewer abortions, more children...

60 % of all new births

in this country are Latino,

and you have Democrats that
are advocating for open borders.

Ethnic minority than black Americans.

Right now, the Democrat party

relies upon our vote,
but they don't have to forever.

Black Americans are gonna wake up,

or we're going to become irrelevant.

Black people in general
are starting to get the sense

that we are being traded
for illegal immigrants.

The caravan lurched forward

carrying babies, suitcases and hope.

They're importing a whole new victim class.

It's gonna do exactly to the illegals

what they did to black America in the '60s.

Get them addicted to government,

give them the handouts, and turn them

into a permanent class of victim voters.

They are willing to use

people's genuine disadvantages,

people's genuine
struggles to get into power.

And we are gonna fight for fairness

and justice for immigration.

We're gonna fight for DACA,

and we're going to help this country...

How is it that we have
Maxine Waters and John Lewis

and others in the Black
Congressional Caucus

who are fighting for DACA?

For the dreamers

of illegal aliens who
have come to our nation,

and they're not fighting for black children

and the dreams that our
kids and our teenagers have.

They've set them aside
and made DACA their priority.

I submit to you they're
in pursuit of an agenda.

The black community has been destroyed

by racist, illegal immigration
and we're not gonna have it.

When my people do a crime,
we get three strikes.

Your people do a crime, they get amnesty,

they get benefits, and they're not...

Blacks are protesting the fact

that for the last 50 years,

they're living in cities that
are the most dangerous,

disinvested places, and they've been run

by liberal black Democrats.

But they've got no alternative
to express that discontent.

The black community is low-hanging fruit

for the Republican party.

And the fact that they're not
making a more concerted effort

to message to our community aggressively

is a huge mistake.

First, they have to be serious

about whether or not they
want minorities in the party.

And if they are,
then they need to totally rethink

how they're goin' about it.

My experiences running
as a mayoral candidate

in a city that's predominantly Democrat,

I've been criticized by
Republican strategists

for spending my time
in minority communities.

I've placed my campaign office

in a historically black community.

I did that by choice.

I have not found the kind of support

that I expected from Republicans.

I think that if you look
at the Republican party,

I believe that if I were white

that I would notice that there
were so few people of color,

racial and ethnic minorities in my party,

and I would support the
ones that were sincere.

I love America.

I believe the American dream,

and I wanna give hope to
people who are disadvantaged,

not just black people,
but also white people

who come from unfortunate circumstances.

When I've gone to campaign
and elections meetings,

I hear these strategists say,

"Don't waste your time
in minority communities."

"You need to hunt where the ducks are."

For years, the Democratic party

has assumed they're going to
get 90-95 % of the black vote,

as did the Republican party.

They didn't even try.

Republicans have convinced themselves

that blacks are unalterably Democrats,

there's nothing we can do about it.

Let's husband our money and our energy

and just spend it where
we think we can get votes.

The Republican party ignores us

because they believe a
narrative that has been pushed

out into the public square

that the black community is a monolith.

And so we're being ignored on both sides.

The major conservative in the race,

Carol Swain,
was the last to concede tonight.

We're not making the kind of investments

in our minority allies.

That's the fault of the Republican party,

is that they have just completely said,

"We can't connect with 'em."

And they gave up.

We have more in common
with the Republican party by far

than anything Democrat.

Regardless of where your
position is socioeconomically.

'Cause the Democrats,
they're not giving jobs,

they don't care about jobs.

So they don't want you to succeed.

They don't want you to own anything.

That's why they keep spoonfeeding you,

putting you in projects
and then giving you a little,

so now you're dependent.

Being unapologetically capitalist

is sort of the way to move forward.

I wanna be rich.

I don't wanna be poor.

You wanna be wealthy and successful.

Well, we're the party that promotes values

and policies that will make
you wealthy and successful.

Conservatives are really
bad at marketing good ideas.

They're horrible.

Republicans have been
their own worst messengers.

The problem with conservatives

and what we don't do good enough,

is that we don't infiltrate
ourselves into the culture.

For too long, we've left the left run culture.

Saturday Night Live.

We're gonna make fun and
people can understand humor.

You're not going to be
able to sell your ideas,

and your theories and
your thoughts to the people,

if you're doing things in the same way

that you have done them for the last,
20-30 years.

Ladies and gentlemen,
I am officially running

for President of the United States,

and we are going to make
our country great again.

Donald Trump is the first
Republican that is unafraid.

He's unafraid of the media.

You know it, if you're honest reporters,

which in many cases you're not.

The progressive socialist left

and all their tactics, all their antics.

It's the next step in our investigation.

They don't know what to do with him.

If you look at his policies

and how they benefited and
continue to benefit this country,

there's no denying the objective facts.

But if you look at the man, Donald Trump,

the version of him as it
is painted by the media,

then it's easy to hate the man,
hate his guts.

Painting a picture of him
that he is incompetent,

not capable, out of control, impetuous,

all those things is what
we get out of the media.

But somehow,
through the charisma of his personality

and a force of his
personality has gotten through

to some in our community.

I see Trump as this window of opportunity

for black America to wake up,

is because I think he's
the most cultural president

we've ever had.

He was taking photos with rappers.

He was always part of the culture.

You got this guy that talks shit,

at WrestleMania, he was doing this,
he was doing that

and he's president?

He made politics cool again.

Donald Trump is not in
charge of the law in our country.

Because you'd be in jail.

You can see the realness.

He's a New Yorker, man.

And he talks like one.

He has the bravado like one.

Jeb wants to be a tough guy.

He wants to be a tough guy tonight.

I didn't take the property.

A lot of young, black people,

that's why they're drawn to him.

If people spoke to black people

the way Donald Trump does,
bluntly, without condescension.

Look how much African-American
communities have suffered

under Democratic control.

To those, I say the following,

what do you have to lose?

Donald Trump is facing a new backlash.

Is "What the hell do you
have to lose" the best pitch?

Trump's latest attempted outreach

to a larger voting block is
already being called ignorant.

So disrespectful and so condescending.

How condescending, how offensive,
how racist, whatever.

But he was right.

What do you have to lose?

You're living in poverty,
your schools are no good,

you have no jobs.

58 % of your youth is unemployed.

The audacity to stare
black America in the face

and say, "Hello, wake up,
you're already losing."

"Look at your communities."

"Everything's run down,
what's the big deal?"

"Take a chance on Trump."

People, black and white and brown

who did not go to college

have felt ignored by
the elites of both parties.

And Trump turned over
the tables in the temple.

You can say he's an artful,
he's not articulate,

he's not smooth, whatever.

People really don't care.

People are tired of politicians

that say one thing and do something else.

Especially, we're starting to
see in the black community.

They wanna see some change,

they wanna see something different.

And that's why blacks feeling
as if they're conservatives

is on the rise.

They're looking at the results.

You think you can bully
people to stop doing something.

Callin' us coons, all them types of names.

Usually, people run to their
little cubby hills after that.

It's a new movement now
and we want all the smoke.

It's really clear.

People tell me not to wear the MAGA hat,

so I bought the biggest MAGA hat.

Then I bought a bigger one.

So now if somebody say something to me,

duh, common sense, a bigger one.

It's simple math really
when you put it all together.

♪ Yeah, I'm black I'm not Democrat ♪

♪ With the MAGA hat ♪

♪ Ooh we they try to take
my guns I can't go like that ♪

♪ Ooh we they try to take
our funds I can't go like that ♪

♪ Ooh we they tried to bend
our speeds I can't go like that ♪

♪ Yeah, I'm black, I'm not Democrat ♪

♪ With the MAGA hat ♪

It was Donald Trump who woke me up, man.

At first,
when he was nominated and he was elected,

I was not a big fan,
but to see the things he's done

for the black community,
see the things he's done

for America in particular.

I'm a huge fan now and he has my support.

We are in historical times,

'cause people are waking up,
people are changing.

Humans are naturally conservative.

You grow up being told to
work hard for what you eat.

You don't grow up being
told you gon' get somethin'

because you just want it.

You see, like you ain't gotta work for it.

When I went to the store,

and I try to get a Snickers
and I had no money for it,

momma slapped my hand,
"Put that Snickers back."

"We can't afford that."

But Democrats, they're saying,

"Hey, we give you everything for free."

That ain't reality.

Black America is starting to get it.

And that's why there is this sort of battle

that's happening I think right now.

Black America is in the midst
of an ideological civil war.

Oh, it's bullshit!

It's racism, it's Trump.

Get off your feet, fuck this.

We gotta stand up, we gotta do our shit.

We gotta do what we
gotta do as black people.

Round of applause for Candace, please.

That's a waste of time.

You guys, this is so beautiful.

Look at all of us.

We made it all the way to the White House.

This week, in two days,
I'm going to the White House

with 400 black kids,
and it's basically saying,

you don't get to take away my blackness

because I don't agree with you,
because I'm educated.

Before, it was just a monolith.

And there was no thought,
it was just nodding like zombies.

Like of course,
we have to support Barack Obama.

The one reason that I thought

that his candidacy would be positive.

The one reason,
was because when Senator Obama

was interviewed by Steve Croft,

I believe that was his
first 60 Minutes interview,

and Steve Croft said to Obama.

You think the country's
ready for a black president?

Yes!

You don't think it's gonna hold you back.

No.

I think, if I don't win this race,

it would be because of other factors.

It's gonna be because I have not shown

to the American people a vision

for where the country needs
to go that they can embrace.

I said to myself, hallelujah!

At least this is not your
basic black victocrat.

Well, he got elected.

I cried, tears came to my eyes

during his inauguration.

My fellow citizens.

A black man being a president?

Like, this is finally,
we have proven to the world

and everybody else in the country

that this is not a racist country.

And I think that's
what America really felt,

that we had turned a corner.

I could follow in the
same steps now finally.

That there was no barrier
that was preventing me

as a black American from doing anything.

Many people had high expectations

that he was going to take us in a direction

that was gonna improve things.

Obama, before he became president,

gave a speech at a black church in Atlanta.

And he said, the Moses generation,

referring to the generation
of Martin Luther King,

has gotten us 90 % of the way there,

which I though was pretty reasonable.

He said, "My generation,
the Joshua generation"

"has to get us that remaining 10 %."

The Moses generation pointed the way.

They took us 90 % of the way there,

but we still got that 10 %.

That was before Obama became president.

I'm suspecting that
now that he's president,

that that 10 % probably got
shaved into just a little bit.

Yet when he was president,
what did he say, what did do?

Slavery, Jim Crow, discrimination

in almost every institution of our lives,

that cast a long shadow.

And that's still part of our DNA.

That's passed on.

We're not cured of it.

Racism?
Racism.

We are not cured of it.

Obama got a higher
percentage of the white vote

than John Kerry did, and here he is

talking about racism is in our DNA?

If I had a son, he would look like Trayvon.

The Cambridge Police...

The Cambridge Police acted stupidly.

Acted stupidly.

What he really did was add
to the level of racial tension

that we have in America today.

He went out of his way to capitalize

on this sort of like, wokeness.

There are very few
African-American men in this country,

who haven't had the
experience of being followed

when they were shopping
in a department store.

That includes me.

He had Al Sharpton in his
White House over 70 times.

And every time you
criticize President Obama

based upon policy, you were called what?

A racist.

He played the race card, Obama did.

This is a guy who knew better and could've,

in my opinion done a great deal to advance

racial issue in this country.

We didn't turn any corner.

And so now, we are just at a point

where we're at each other's throats.

You called me a nigger.

I didn't call you no nigger.
Yes, you did.

No, I didn't.

He made things worse for America

in terms of race,
and there's not a single person

that can say they remember
America feeling like this.

Constitution.
I said you a house nigger.

I didn't call you a nigger.

Oh, okay.

That's a big difference.

You a Uncle Tom.
Yeah, I'm a Uncle Tom?

Before Obama,
wasn't all this racist talk at all.

I don't remember it.

I don't remember at any point

before Barack Obama ever
feeling this much racial strife

in this country.

Obama was the most divisive president
of our time.

Especially in the
African-American community,

I will consider it a personal insult,

an insult to my legacy if this
community lets down its guard

and fails to activate
itself in this election.

I believe Obama is one of
the most articulate presidents

that we've had,
charismatic presidents that we've had.

When you look at his
educational background,

he's probably one of the most intelligent.

He knows better.

I harbor a lot of resentment
towards Barack Obama,

because now I see what he was.

But I wouldn't take that moment back,

for a lot of reasons.

And one of those reasons
is that it did me a lot.

Now it's something that
I point to to show people.

If America is a racist country,

how did Barack Obama
get into office for two terms?

In barely half a century,

you can go from a young
African-American girl

being escorted into the
school by the National Guard,

to having the first person of
color occupy the Oval Office.

That's why all those people were in tears

when Obama was elected president.

Look at what we are.

This is America.

If there is anyone out there,

who still doubts that America is a place

where all things are possible,

who still wonders if the
dream of our founders

is alive in our time, who still questions

the power of our democracy,
tonight is your answer.

It's the answer told
by lines that stretched

around schools and churches,

in numbers this nation has never seen.

I didn't grow up thinking,

one day I wanna own my own business,

I wanna do my own thing.

It seemed like something that
surely I could never achieve.

That's something that
you have to be really smart.

You have to come from money.

You have to have a huge set of capital

before you can even start a business.

That's something that's too lofty for me.

I would never accomplish that.

So, I didn't even think about it.

If you have some material
and stuff that you're needing,

I would like to get it to a place

where you can call him
and if we have it in the shop

he can run it to you.

Early in my 20s when I
began to go into a transition,

if you will, of learning more about policy,

of learning more about the platforms

and how they're so
different from one another,

I realized, well, no, there's something

that is well within my grasp.

This is something that is attainable.

Being a business owner in America

is one of the greatest
privileges of being in America.

I love being in this country,

where you can start anything,
you can be anything,

you can do anything.

And it's not possible
everywhere to do it that way.

Oftentimes I get crazy messages from people

who,
they can't believe I do this or whatever.

But you don't know
until you do it yourself.

You don't really get it and understand it

until you start doing it yourself.

Designers.

They're still thinking
that it's a four-inch supply

coming into the building...

In my heart of hearts, I do desire

that people will kind of have

the same kind of revelations that I've had,

because to me,
what it means to be a conservative

is to realize that a lot of
the dignity that you have

is within yourself.

Conservatism is the political philosophy

that is pro-business, that is pro-growth,

that is pro-minority,

way more than any kind of liberal idea

or policy can ever be.

I want for people to understand that.

I want for people to realize that.

These are the sinks
that you fixed last time?

It starts with the individual.

What you do in making
yourself a better person

will matriculate down to
everybody else in the community,

all the generations that come after you.

The power is in your hands.

Don't rely and wait for
everybody else to do something.

You have the power to change you.

You have authority to change you.

I will not pretend to be
a victim in this country.

I know that that makes many people

on the left uncomfortable.

I know people might not like me

'cause they're from an era

where race hustling is a business.

But I say to people,
"I'm not here to be your friend."

"I'm not here to become
the most well liked"

"black person in America."

"I am here to be like an alarm clock."

"Your alarm clock goes off in the morning"

"and you're pretty pissed at it,"

"but eventually you get up and
you do what you have to do."

Many of the black kids
who grew up in this country,

they see mom and dad voting for Democrats.

They don't question it.

They just go and do it.

But many of them have so much potential

and so much worth that they can really do

anything they wanted with their lives.

So much creativity and so much vision.

What's sad is that many
of them are being lied to,

and they're being put in situations

where these limits are being put on them

by their selves, by their family,

by their schools, by the government,

to where their minds are ever dependent

on Democrat politicians,
on Democrat policies.

When in reality,
you're bigger than a program,

you're better than a program.

You're capable of providing for yourself

so much more than any government program

can provide for you.

My fear is that with
black people in America,

many of us haven't
came to that realization,

and I want for us to.

Because we can do so
much better as a community

when we come to that realization.

Alrighty.

That'll do it.

My hope is that

this will help to break the spell.

This spell that so many people are under...

...that keeps them angry...

...makes them bitter...

...blinds them from the truth...

...and realize that they're being deceived.

That they've been lied to,

that we've all been lied to our entire life.

My hope is that people will begin to wake up.

If you care to think at all...

...it's very clear that something is going on here.

There's something to this, man.

Have we been lied to this whole time?

I'm here at Fort Monroe in Hampton,

once known as Point Comfort

the very spot where the first enslaved Africans

arrived in America 401 years ago in 1619.

The atrocities my ancestors endured

packed and stacked on slave ships like pieces of property

brought to this country to build it

with their blood, sweat, and tears.

Psychiatrists say trauma like that

can affect a people for generations.

No justice! No peace!

Seven year old, Wynta-Amor Rogers' passion

during a recent protest in New York

struck a chord across the country.

No peace! No justice...

The amount of passion

in her voice, in her eyes for a child that young

made me not just see her

it made me see our ancestors before her.

So, that little girl learned that from history.

She learned that from her parents.

And that's even, like, why it's so important

for us to continue to tell the stories.

Nationally renowned psychiatrist,

Dr. Dion Metzger, says the unrest we see today

is 401 years in the making.

And the point of slavery to the point of, you know,

whippings and, and killing and lynchings...

The whole idea of using slavery today

as an excuse for the crime and
dysfunction in the Black community

doesn't make a lot of sense.

If you look at the Blacks
that came out of slavery...

they were relatively prosperous

and you did not have the dysfunction and crime

that you see taking place today.

Black people are constantly being told

that because of slavery,
because of systemic racism,

that their anger and their bitterness

and their rage is justified.

Is it possible as Black people
we are experiencing a, a PTSD

from what they went through 401 years ago?

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Just because we didn't experience it,

us learning about the history

or even from family stories,

it's the same thing.

That does not make a lot of sense

given that Blacks coming out of slavery

had lives that were more functional.

The functionality of Black lives
at the turn of the century

was because Blacks were deeply religious people.

They adhered to strong Judeo-Christian values and principles.

And to the extent that they get further
and further away from those principles,

I think that you see more dysfunction in Black communities

because they've lost the anchor.

Church was the central point.

It was the center point of social gathering...

...culture, religious activity, everything.

Every Sunday you woke up,

you had breakfast with your mom and dad,

and then all of us came out of the house at the same time

and we start walking toward Sunday school.

Even if you couldn't sing,
you're gonna be in the youth choir.

And then Wednesday, you would go to Youth Bible study.

And in the summer you go to church retreat camp.

Those were just expected things.

And that formed a fundamental basis of the Black community.

It was that sense of right and wrong.

It was that sense of morality.

It was that sense of discipline that we had.

The church was producing hope.

And it produced within the community
a stability of purpose.

It held us together.

Families were strong. Dad was there. Mom was there.

The children were growing up under
the influence of a two-parent home.

That all changed.

It's not because of racism.

It's not because of police brutality.

It's not because of slavery.

It's not because of Jim Crow.

It's not because of white supremacists and "white privilege"

and all that crap they're telling you now.
It's because of lack of character.

-Nigga this, this the gutter right here, you feel me?
-Nigga die for this shit.

-Nigga is in jail for this shit.
-Nigga die for this shit.

-You know what I'm saying?
-Exactly.

Right, niggas die for this shit.

Niggas live for this shit.

-Niggas in jail for this shit.

Black people lost character.

Look at all the neighborhoods, the communities,

the cities where Blacks have taken over.

When they move into those areas, they're very nice,

but by the time the Blacks are done with them

crime, homelessness, they don't paint their homes,

they don't clean up, and just become a mess.

-We're B364, long live my boys.

We grew up to this shit like ain't nothing...

-It's because of lack of family,

and most Black people today do not believe in God.

They believe about Him...

...but they don't believe in Him.

It wasn't that way when I was growing up.

But it's that way today.

If you walk through any Black urban community...

you see many Black men standing on corners doing nothing.

Get this paper, that's the only thing you can do.

-Unless these niggas won't smoke, you know. -Okay.

Young, middle age, and old...

Because they're operating under a definition

that is different from what God has defined for them

as their role as men.

We go to other spots fuck niggas up, beat niggas up.

-Come through this motherfucker, you gonna die. -You gonna die.

-Right. -You can't-- You can't even
come to the store and get nothing.

Get no motherfucking bottle.

You gonna get robbed and killed, you know what I'm saying?

And, and, and niggas-- And niggas do-- Niggas, niggas do--

Niggas do a lot-- Niggas do a lot of hating.

Sometimes I'm ashamed of Black people...

...saying. You just get them.

...because we let people take advantage of us.

And you can't even call me back tomorrow?

What are we projecting to the world?

What are we rapping about?

♪ Porn star, big booties ♪

♪ Let me film it then shoot it ♪

♪ Pretty money no illusion... ♪

It's scary to me at times.

That is not Black culture.

That's a facade.

Throughout history, Black folks were honorable.

They had integrity.

That's what Black people were.

But now our Black people are Jay-Z, Cardi B, George Floyd.

We like to deify our idols.

Now that's after we've burned down our own stores.

After we've destroyed our own neighborhoods.

After we rob our own local businesses.

After they're no more sneakers to steal,

then we'll paint murals on the wall.

Our young Black boys and Black girls

are being taught to look up to these individuals

that the purpose in life

is to be memorialized on a wall like this.

Images are powerful.

You look on churches,

powerful images of saints and figures from the Bible

and the goal to communicate the meta narrative of scripture.

"Who we are, why we're here, what's wrong with the world,

and how can what is wrong be made right?"

Your worldview, your religion answers those questions.

What we're seeing today is another religion...

...communicating another meta-narrative and another worldview,

and these murals are the stained glass windows

of this new religion.

Black Lives Matter!

Black Lives Matter!

Black Lives Matter!

I wish we didn't have to do this.

I wish it wasn't the case

that these kind of things were going on,

but they are.

And these things are going on because we're at war.

And I say that and that makes a lot of people uncomfortable.

This idea of the war that we're a part of,

the battle that we are a part of,

that the war that is raging

in the marketplace of ideas.

-Death to America! -Death to America!

Death to America!

I am not sad

that a fucking fascist died tonight.

When we go to the marketplace of ideas

we have to be reminded of Paul's words,

"Though we walk according to the flesh,

we are not waging war in the flesh."

This is not an easy battle to engage in.

Our adversary is vicious, unrelenting,

and there are some who've been captured by him...

...to do his will.

-Fuck the police! -That's right, police.

Imma fuck your wife.

But remember this, we walk in the flesh.

we're not waging a war according to the flesh.

We're not at war with people.

In Ephesians 6, he makes it clear.

This war is with principalities and powers,
not with people.

This is a spiritual battle.

This is spiritual warfare.

-What happened? -Put pressure.
Put pressure. Put pressure.

-Call the police!

-Put more pressure.

He's shot, call police.

I see the supremacy of Christ being challenged.

What did Marx hate?

He hated God.

This is a war against God.

And I don't wanna see people deceived.

Why is Black Lives Matter important

for the US right now and in the world?

Black Lives Matter is our call to action.

He was concerned that there's a lack

of ideological direction in Black Lives Matter.

We actually do have an ideological frame.

Myself, and Alicia in particular, are trained organizers.

We are trained Marxist.

Communism begins with this German named, Karl Marx.

100 years ago he created a theory of communism

in one of his books.

If you have the Founders of Black Lives Matter

saying that they're trained Marxists,

how does Marxism relate to the Black community?

If you're talking about a community that is deeply rooted

in the Judeo-Christian faith heritage,

then how do you make that connection?

This is the book,

an official copy printed in Moscow,

which explains that communism is based on two main ideas.

That all religion is bad,

and that all private property is bad.

Therefore, Marx said religion must be destroyed.

It was Karl Marx who says,

"My goal in life...

...is to dethrone God,

and to destroy capitalism."

His thinking and his writing

concentrated on relationships of power.

He looked at the world as divided

between those who controlled the means of production

and those who didn't.

Those who had power.

Those who did not.

Those who were oppressors

and those who were oppressed.

The haves and the have-nots.

The bourgeois and the proletariat.

Karl Marx was inspired by inequities
that he saw in society

and he felt that religion was behind

the reluctance of people to actually rise up

and overthrow the oppressors.

He saw God as an enemy because Christians are willing

to trust God in their circumstances.

Karl Marx very famously said

that religion was the opiate of the masses.

We have seen that communism

got its start in Russia

during the chaos and confusion...

...which followed World War I.

They promised peace and food

but have brought only war

and starvation to...

If the devil came

red horns and a pitchfork,

everybody would run.

He's a deceiver.

This is a deception.

Their message was seductive.

It addressed their sorrow...

...addressed their oppression...

...and their pain.

They gave a message that says,
"We can help you with that."

What they offered was attractive.

Because what socialism promises is a utopia.

It promises heaven on earth.

That we can have

that which God promises...

...without God.

That man is the ultimate intellect

and ultimate entity in the universe...

...that he can construct and develop a utopia...

...that will usher in peace, tranquility,

and unity of the human race.

A peace that the world has not yet known...

...and if we hunker down and come together

all in pursuit of this heaven on earth,

that we can accomplish that.

What communism offers...

...and what humanism offers...

...is a stolen version of Christianity...

...that tries to erase God,

but still satisfy that desire in the human heart

to see all things made right.

As image bears of God,

we understand right from wrong.

What happens is these ideologies come along

and they desire to have different outcomes.

They desire to put themselves in the place of God.

Karl Marx wanted to dethrone God because you cannot,

cannot deceive and control a man or woman

who has been born of God.

He protects you by allowing you to see evil.

You overcome words, you overcome culture.

You are controlled by what is right.

A person who doesn't believe in God

is more susceptible to socialism, to communism.

If you believe there is no creator,

there is no hereafter...

...this life that I'm living right now that's all there is...

...then you can justify

doing anything.

People who believe the ends justify the means...

...there's no reason why they would value human beings.

That's why every time you've seen...

...the Marxists get control...

...it ends with tens of millions of people dead...

...and a more oppressive regime...

...than people were ever fighting against in the first place.

For me, it was real simple.

As a young Lieutenant back in 1985...

I was on a deployment with my unit to West Berlin.

And we went through Checkpoint Charlie.

When I came out on the other side to East Berlin...

...I was like, "Oh, hell no...

I don't wanna live like that."

1995, I'm stationed in South Korea near the DMZ...

...and I look across and I see North Korea.

I saw socialism.

I saw Marxism.

I saw communism up front and in person.

When people have the scales taken off their eyes,

then they can see clearly.

Today, if you ask the average person

"Do you know what socialism is?

Do you know what communism is?"

They do not know.

Black Lives Matter!

Black Lives Matter!

Our movement, at the core of it,

we believe in the liberation of every single human being.

What structure will get us there, not our current one,

we can see that right now because of COVID 19.

Who's being impacted the most...

Our enemies are our children...

...and our grandchildren...

...because they believe in that deceptive lie.

12 people are arrested during Sunday's

Black Lives Matter protests in Richmond.

They fit the description of antifa members.

Across the country Confederate statues...

A bust of Abraham Lincoln was found torched...

Well, protesters topple a statue of Christopher Columbus...

A statue of Thomas Jefferson...

Hundreds of statues have been vandalized

or taken down since the death of George Floyd.

On Tuesday, protesters set their sights

on the Emancipation Memorial.

The landmark paid for by freed slaves

and now over 140 years old facing calls to be removed.

You see people trying to rewrite history.

You see them tear down statues and rename everything.

The American people know these names have to go.

-Why is that? -...New York has decided

to remove a statue of Teddy Roosevelt

in the face of growing criticism...

The statue clearly presents

a white man as superior to people of color.

Because your history gives you your identity,

and your identity is the basis of your beliefs.

In 1831, Alexis de Tocqueville came to America

to study this country.

The Europeans were fascinated.

"How could a fledgling nation barely 50 years old

already be competing with them on virtually every level?
This was impossible."

Tocqueville was going to sort it out.

And he looked at our educational system,

see that anybody finishing his second grade
was completely literate.

He could find a mountain man on the outskirts of society,

the man could read the newspaper,

could have a political discussion,

could tell him how the government worked.

The people who founded this nation

said that our system of government was designed

for a well-informed and educated populous.

And when they become less informed,
they become vulnerable.

Black Lives Matter!

"We do not comply with the regime

putting targets on the backs of Black people...

...brown communities, and Native people.

We do not comply with the regime

denying women control of their bodies."

-"The people..." -The People...

-"...shouldn't have to..."
-...shouldn't have to...

"...hold the state accountable."

...hold the state accountable.

"The state should just be accountable."

The state should just be accountable.

Tell me!

-Power to the people! -Power to the people!

Power to the people!

The communists have admittedly chosen

the minds of our youth

as a number one area for their insidious attack.

An accurate summary of Lenin's strategy

for the conquest of the world is as follows.

First, we will take Eastern Europe.

Next, the masses of Asia.

Then we shall then encircle the last bastion of capitalism,

the United States of America.

We will not have to attack,

it will fall like overripe fruit into our hands.

Antonio Gramsci, an Italian philosopher,

a communist who said this,

"We will never defeat the West with guns and conflict,

but rather we will defeat them through infiltration."

He was one of Karl Marx's disciples

that pioneered this slow gradual transformation of society.

He writes and thinks extensively about Marxism.

And he like many Marxists...

...didn't understand why things didn't spread further.

Why the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917

did not advance into Western Europe?

Gramsci is the one bringing in this idea of hegemony.

There is this hegemonic power
that's communicated to the masses

through the robes of society.

These ideas that keep them in the dark

about their oppression.

This hegemonic power has to be dealt with.

A culture has to be weakened from within.

He writes about a new day.

He calls it the new order.

He says, "In the new order, socialism will triumph

by overwhelming Christianity through the institutions."

The centers of gravity...

the courts, the media,

academia, entertainment,

even religious institutions.

Gramsci understands that you have to do this culturally.

His ideas infiltrate many institutions in the US,

and by institutions, I mean universities.

And so, out of that we get cultural Marxism,

critical theory,

ideologies that are impacting our world today.

Looking back on it now, it seems as though

everywhere in that year of 1913

barriers went down and people reached each other

who had never been touched before.

There were all sorts of new ways to communicate

as well as new communications.

The new spirit was abroad and swept us all together.

Around the turn of the 20th century,

you did have this revolutionary spirit

that a lot of people were latching onto.

And the way that it showed up was through

young impressionable college students...

...the children of wealthy parents.

It had the same kind of social composition

that would in later years characterize

many radical groups

in which the youthful offspring of privilege

called themselves the proletariat.

Marxism is the conceit of rich kids with fancy educations.

Yes, you see that in this, what is this thing called?

The Occupy Wall Street group.

I mean, how many working class people can afford

-to take a month off... -Revolution!

...to sit around in parks and carry on?

♪ Ain't no power like the power of students
The power of students ♪

In Cuba, leftist oriented students

where the vanguard of the organized street demonstrations.

In China, the communist appeal was aimed

primarily at young idealistic intellectuals,

most of whom came from wealthy families

who could afford to send them to school.

A lot of the young students around this time,

they felt the fire of Karl Marx and carried that sentiment.

You just have to understand the spirit of the age.

Marx is doing the science of economics.

Freud, the science of psychology.

Darwin is operating within the realm of biology,

operating against the biblical narrative of God

as the creator of all things.

These guys are contemporaries within this cultural milieu

that is swimming against the stream of religious dominance.

On the one hand, there's amazing advancements
that are taking place.

It's incredible.

By the time you get to the 20th century,

the amount and the pace at which things have
advanced scientifically,

the breakthroughs that have happened scientifically.

And at the same time, there is this rapid deconstruction

that's going on from a theological perspective

as we're moving away from religious convictions

toward a scientific,

non-religious explanation for all things.

In other words, a worldview that does not include God.

The essence of it all is communication.

It was as if men were saying to other men,

here's a new way of seeing things.

A new way of saying things, also new things to say.

Mabel Dodge, she would have dinner parties where she would

bring all these radical socialist thinkers together.

Men like Walter Lippmann, Max Eastman,

Hutchins Hapgood, Carl Van Vechten.

Men who went and established themselves

in universities, and journalism, entertainment,

and became what Mabel Dodge called the Movers and the Shakers.

They began to infiltrate those institutions

starting with education, John Dewey.

The world is moving at a tremendous rate,

no one knows where.

We must prepare our children not for the world of the past,

not for our world,

but for their world, the world of the future.

To change America's hegemony,

it's moral structure...

Today an overwhelming majority

of US educators are convinced...

...they have to do it gradually...

...slowly...

...generation by generation.

Most people assume

that mandatory government education

has been the norm throughout the history of the world.

It hasn't even been the norm throughout the history of America.

Mandatory government education doesn't exist

until the latter part of the 19th century.

Before that, it was unthinkable

that the government would be in charge of education.

Education is not mentioned in the US constitution.

It is not part of the purview

of the United States government.

Before mandatory government education,

where is education controlled?

Church and the family.

Homeschools, Dame schools...

...one room school house.

That's how everybody's educated.

Why do you need to control education in the Marxist worldview?

To supplant Christianity

and to replace it with secularism.

Applying Darwinian ideas...

...and Marxist ideas to child development and education.

In Tennessee, there's still a law

against teaching the Theory of Evolution in public schools.

That law was tested once in 1925

in a famous monkey trial.

Now, the man being tried for his views

was school teacher, John Scopes,

who was arrested for teaching Darwin's Theory of Evolution,

that man was descended from monkeys.

The Bible was used in schools

all across America to teach values and culture.

Bible reading was not something
that people felt threatened by.

...Almighty God. We acknowledge...

...the opinion of the Supreme Court decision

banning prayer in schools the President says...

The Supreme Court has made a judgment

to good many people, obviously, will disagree with it.

Others will agree with it.

Prayer was ended in school first in 1962

and then 1963 Bible reading.

And I would hope that, uh, as a result of this decision,

that, uh, all American parents

will intensify their efforts at home.

Would you go to court

if you had to pray in school?

-Yes. -Why?

-'Cause some people aren't religious.
-What?

'Cause some people aren't religious.

-And what does that mean?
-And that means

that it wouldn't be fair for them

to have to pray in school.

When people start talking about

taking back the schools

or bringing God back to the schools,

these are people who are demonstrating their ignorance

because government education was founded

for the purpose of usurping religion and God.

Fuck you, fucking white piece of shit.

-Racist. Racist. -Indistinct.

-We love abortion. -Racist.

-We love abortion. -Racist.

-God isn't real. God isn't real.
-Whoa! Yes!

As those children become adults...

...they are naturally going to shift

the trajectory of our country

to fit this more egalitarian, collectivist worldview.

Say his name. George Floyd.

Say his name. George Floyd.

We're seeing the outworkings...

...we're seeing the fruit of this ideology

and it's doing what it was designed to do.

-God and Jesus!

-God and Jesus!

The fruit of an educational system

that has totally destroyed our country.

You're seeing the impact of Marxian ideas,

the impact of secular humanism in the schools.

Ideological subversion, that is a phrase that I'm afraid

some Americans don't fully understand.

When the Soviets use the phrase "ideological subversion,"

what do they mean by it?

Ideological subversion

is to change the perception of reality

of every American

to such an extent that despite the abundance of information,

no one is able to come to sensible conclusions

in the interests of defending themselves, their families,

their community, and their country.

It's a great brainwashing process which goes very slow.

It takes from 15 to 20 years to demoralize a nation.

Marxism-Leninism ideology,

is being pumped into the soft heads

of at least three generations of American students

without being challenged or counterbalanced

by the basic values of Americanism.

And you can see it quite clearly

the influence of Marxist-Leninists ideas

in United States is absolutely fantastic.

The demoralization process in the United States

is basically completed already.

The result? The result you can see.

Most of the people who graduated in '60s

dropouts or half-baked intellectuals

are now occupying the positions of power in the government,

civil service, business, mass media, educational system.

You are stuck with them. You cannot get rid of them.

They are contaminated. They're programmed to think and react

to certain stimuli in a certain pattern.

Not even Comrade Andropov and all his experts

would even dream of such a tremendous success.

A person who was demoralized

is unable to assess true information.

The facts tell nothing to him.

Even if I shower him with authentic proof,

with documents, with pictures,

even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union

and show him concentration camp,

he will refuse to believe it.

When the military boot crashes his balls

then he will understand.

Most of the American politicians,
media, and educational system

trains another generation of people

who think they are living at a peace time.

False.

The United States is in the state of war,

undeclared total war against the basic principles

and the foundations of this system.

I was born in 1990.

I remember every February you'd have Black History Month.

And we would learn about Harriet Tubman,
Frederick Douglas, and--

-Martin Luther King.
-Martin Luther King.

Yep.

And I remember learning about

-the things that they fought for.
-Mm-hmm.

And I remember at an early age thinking to myself,

"Man, slavery must have been real hard.

Segregation must have been really hard.

Thank God we don't live in those times anymore.

Thank God we now live in an America

-where we have opportunities and we have freedom..."
-Yeah.

"...and we're now considered equal."

I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear.

When I graduated high school

it's when Obama became president.

You now see this growing narrative

of, well, actually you don't have as much freedoms

as you thought that you have.

We still live in a systemically racist country.

-You just didn't know it. You were just naive.
-Right.

America has shown us historically

that maybe Black lives don't matter in this country.

It's amazing to me why we keep loving this country

and this country does not love us back.

When I leave my home for a jog, I might not come back.

This is a serious issue.

This is an issue for every single kid who says,

"Is this my country?"

"Why do they hate us?"

What is the parent to say when you realize that your child

has now entered the world of color?

It's ironic Black people in America...

...are the freest, safest,

most prosperous Black people

in the history of the world.

There is no country in this world

that a Black person would rather be.

Unless, of course, they grow up in this country.

Then, they're fed a lie that is so deceptive...

they actually believe the opposite of that which is true.

The system in America was never built for Black people

because that system has never been changed.

Those documents has never been altered.

These things were made back in umpteen hundreds

and these are the same exact literature
that's down to date so if it's the same.

There are people lining up, Black people,

trying to get in line for a lottery in their country

for just a chance... to come to America.

But if you hear many Black Americans speak...

-We shut you down! -We shut you down!

-We shut you down! -We shut you down!

...you would think that this is a place

number one, that they shouldn't wanna come to.

But number two, Black people here should be fleeing from.

The reason that that lie exists is because of power.

Manning Johnson was an American Negro

who loved his country,

and he loved it enough that he saw beyond Uncle Tom.

A communist of stature within the international conspiracy,

Manning Johnson had the strength to renounce communism

when he discovered for certain that its purpose

was to use the Negro as a device

to help commit all Americans of all colors

to a slavery far worse than anything

the pre-emancipation American Negro had ever experienced.

We preserve the speech on this record for posterity,

and we present it with malice toward none,

but rather with the belief that

had its wisdom and sheer logic reached enough Americans

at the time the speech was made...

the communist never could have succeeded in provoking

the violence and insurrection we have unhappily witnessed.

Now, Manning Johnson...

Don't spread the rumor throughout the world

that Negroes are kept in ignorance

because of prejudiced white people

and all of that propaganda...

because that type of propaganda

is the brain child of the communist,

and they want to use the Negro to gain foothold

in those parts of the world where the darker races exists.

I don't give a tinkers damn about a Negro.

There are certain people who are using the Negro

in order to establish their power in Washington

and the Negro is just merely a pawn

in a game that's bigger than he is.

Black people were always ripe

for use by the communists

because many of us do come from situations of poverty.

I'm gonna be praying for you.

I'm gonna be coming back to see you.

And we are gonna be demanding when we go to Washington

that something be done and done immediately

about these conditions.

We can resonate with a theory

that there's someone out there
that's responsible for our condition.

I am a mother with six kids, six children.

I live on a plantation, an old piece of house,

and my husband work, work on the plantation.

He don't make, man give him this $8 a day.

And it's-- I don't have a job.
And it's hard for him to make a job with $8 a day

and nothing else to go up against.
I got one son stop school

because I didn't have the money to buy him
efficient clothing he need to wear

and he just dropped out of school.

And part of time I don't even know where
I'm gonna get the next meal for my children.

My, my.

Many Negroes

by the thousands and millions

have been left bootless

as a result of all of these years of oppression

and as a result of a society

that deliberately made his color a stigma

and something worthless and degrading.

It's taking the economic Marxism of Karl Marx

and applying it to race relations

in a way that whites are the oppressors

and minorities, non-whites, they are the oppressed.

We have to recognize who our major enemy is.

The major enemy is not your brother,

flesh of your flesh and blood of your blood.

The major enemy is the honky and his institutions of racism.

-That's the major enemy!

And whenever anybody prepares for a revolutionary warfare

you concentrate on the major enemy

we're not strong enough to fight...

As early as 1928, the communist declared

that the racial differences among our people constituted

the weakest and most vulnerable point in our social fabric.

LBJ is the biggest nigger lover.

By constantly probing

and straining at this one spot,

'They calculated that eventually the cloth could be torn apart

and that Americans could be divided, weakened

and perhaps even set against each other in open combat.

Charles, you want to eliminate whiteness, is that true?

Uh, I want to destroy whiteness to be more specific, yes.

And what is whiteness and why do you want to destroy it?

-Uh, so whiteness is an, is an ideological construct--
-Speak into the mic.

Uh, right. It's an ideology, it's a set
of behaviors and beliefs and practices

that not only normalize the white way of seeing the world

but the white way of doing society.

And so, that structure has proven
to be violent towards people of color

uh, because it's the norm, it's the norm and standard

by which we are judged, which is an inaccurate one.

And so, I think that that needs to be destroyed

in order for the liberation of people of color,

uh, from white supremacy to take place.

Now to be sure, that is not to conflate

whiteness with white people

although all white people do benefit from whiteness

and there are people of, of color and Black folks as well

who adopt ideological positions

that are consistent with white supremacy.

And again, that is a, a disappointment,

uh, and it disenfranchises and harms people of color.

-So I think that ideology and that philosophy

needs to be destroyed.

Oh, man.

What we're covering is a very layered thing.

We're talking about over a century of tactics,

writings...

-...blue-eyes people... -...education,

journalism, music, film...

...all these different vehicles being used

to carry out this ideology.

Many of our people's mind have been whitewashed.

If a Negro comes up to you and you turn your back on him,

he's got to run to the honky.

We're gonna take time and patience with our people

because they're ours, they're ours.

-It's very clear, there was an intention...

This country has never cared...

...to use Black people...

The rotten, fascist, racist cop.

...to be a constant annoyance.

It's nobody but Black folks.

Fuck you. Fuck you. Fuck you.

A thorn in the side to America...

Every Black person out here fuck you all.

...to effect change.

In the summer of 1964,

widespread rioting and looting suddenly broke out

in Harlem, Rochester, New York, Jersey City,

Philadelphia, Cleveland, and Chicago,

all within a few days of each other.

It was as though an unseen hand had given the signal.

As a Jew I have a certain amount

of a forsaken congenital social protest inside of me

as my people have been pushed around, uh,

well, you know, from the beginning of time.

Buffalo, New York riots breakout.

I want to make it crystal clear that as mayor

that we will not tolerate a violation of the law,

we will not tolerate criminal activity,

we will not tolerate looting and pillaging.

Power's always gone into two areas.

Those who have money and those who have people.

We have nothing but people,

and the politicians understand this.

After four nights of violence

and $100,000 damage,

the mayor promises to do something
about employment opportunities

within a week if they will cool off.

We were only in there for about a month and a half

when Buffalo blew, we weren't even organized.

-And even our-- -His name is Saul Alinsky

and there are still many to whom the name is meaningless.

But to millions now, he has looked on as a savior

and these are the so-called have-nots,

the culturally deprived, the abject poor.

Saul Alinsky

is the father of community organizing

and the progressivism that you see manifested across America.

You kill Black people, make excuse to kill Black people.

People do not get power except when they take it

or when they're strong enough

so that the other side gives it up.

He was a Marxist, but he was very practical.

If you force an issue over too long a period,

you can run into some real troubles. Let me tell you...

And he was into tactics.

You tell them that the next time we meet,

we'll meet in front of the United States Senate
in the hearings room

and they'll come there because
they won't get an invitation

they'll be coming in response to a subpoena.

He wrote a very famous book

called Rules for Radicals.

It is without a doubt the strategic playbook

as well as the communist manifesto

of Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels.

Those are the two seminary documents

for the progressive socialists left in America today.

What you find when you read these people

and you really study them is that

it's nothing for them to be deceitful

and to be manipulative

and to lie in order to get their ideas to come to pass.

The real question has never been the silly one

about the ends justifying the means

it's always been, does this particular end

justify this particular means.

His dedication tells you everything.

He dedicated his book to Lucifer.

As being the first revolutionary

to be able to establish his own kingdom...

Now, everybody understand what white power is...

because they own the banks.

They have all the commercial power in the community

but they only have it at the expense...

This is from the Canadian documentary

that was done on Saul Alinsky,

Organizing for Power: The Alinsky Approach.

The Alinsky organization is often invited

into a community by its churchmen.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt Florence,

a Minister of the Church of Christ

is elected President of the organization

which names itself FIGHT,

Freedom Independence God Honor Today.

In its first year, FIGHT achieves modest victories

against the city administration in the area of urban renewal

and attacks anyone who doesn't offer uncritical support.

All these different movements that were popping up

in industrial cities in the '60s and '70s.

We're sick and tired of this Uncle Tom leadership
that's why we had built here.

People thought that these were Black organizations

ran by Black people

for the uplift of Black people.

People genuinely thought that.

I wanna comment about the outside agitators

that the mayor claims is coming into Buffalo

to create the disorders.

What these short films of Saul Alinsky

showed that it was actually white Marxists.

Alinsky sent in Dick Harmon a staff direct.

Once I give the word to go, we're off.

There will be no turning back.

Alinsky sends Ed Chambers,

his top organizer.

Chambers works quickly

to set up the local organization

in time to avoid another summer of violence.

Every organization that we built

was built on a multi-issued basis.

The worst thing you can do

and one of the reasons why some of the civil rights

or a large part of the Civil Rights Movement went dead

is to organize around a single issue,

it becomes a straitjacket.

Number one, chronic unemployment of adults and teenagers.

Number two, inferior education.

Number three, your slumlord.

Number four, police brutality.

Number five, the lack of recreation facilities.

There's one swimming pool to every 50,000 Negroes. And...

Take a single issue and you literally

lock out a large part of potential membership

who may be sympathetic to the issue.

It was very surprising to find this footage

because it puts his words out there.

It puts the strategy out there

that communists and Marxists and socialists,

whatever you wanna call them,

that they've been putting into practice
for a very long time.

Beautiful execution of power.

You had these Black pastors

taking marching orders.

One spokesman is always selected.

Uh, may I have your attention, please.

We're going to the mayor's office

and then to the Chamber Of Commerce.

I am Reverend Fletcher Brian,
who will be the spokesman.

-I am the spokesman, the one spokesman...
-You are the spokesman.

-...in the organization.
-All right.

A week ago...

He's told that he's got

to have a specific question

and stay with it.

A specific request in regard to jobs

in the face of crisis in job inequities
in the Negro community.

Some 916 jobs appear to be available

that includes 600 jobs that the county is making available.

Never let the mayor get off it.

But then you're saying that

they have not delivered at this point.
And the second point I like--

No, you're saying it, I'm not saying it.

This is one thing in terms of tactics

you sit with a political leader

and you say, this is the question.

Are these jobs of a temporary or permanent nature?

I haven't got the full specifics on them.
Some of them will be...

You don't hear them.

Do you recognize us or don't you?

Well, let me at this time, Mr. Mayor,

make crystal clear BUILDs position on this job matter.

To the extent that we have Black pastors involved.

Minister Florence, were you successful
in getting the Kodak stockholders list?

These were just Black front men.

They de-- denied us the right

to see it again. Same racist tactic.

Saul Alinsky is very strategic in what he's doing.

Minister Florence interrupted him
calling for a point of order.

He's very calculated in his approach

to organize people and to affect change.

-If you don't give us our shit!

-If you don't give us our shit!

It made me think about Black Lives Matter

because Black Lives Matter is a modern organization.

The reality is that race in the United States

operates on a spectrum from black to white.

The prevailing narrative is that three Black women

who are concerned about Black people, who love Black people.

These are the women who started Black Lives Matter
and that it's a Black movement

and every white person associated with it is merely an ally.

It is a tool for our allies to show up differently for us.

I was wondering, is there a white Marxist

behind Black Lives Matter?

Displacement, genocide, and climate crimes.

Is that a laundry list or a web of connected crises?

Our next guest has been helping people's movements

make the links for decades now.

He's Eric Mann of the Labor Community Strategy Center

right here in Los Angeles.

How did you get started?

Well...

I come out of a Jewish socialist...

What I found is Eric Mann.

I've been organizing with the Congress of Racial Equality,

Students for a Democratic Society,

worked with the Black Panther Party,

was an SDS, was a Weathermen,

went to prison for political issues.

When you look into Eric Mann,

you look at what he believes and what he wants.

"Free the US two million prisoners, and 100,000 less police,

free, safe, and legal abortion

with public support and financing,

and minors having the right to abortion
without parental consent,

reparations for the transatlantic slave trade,

unconditional amnesty and option of citizenship

for 12 million immigrants,

end the war on drugs, the war on crime,

the war on gangs and the war on terror."

After you put these ideas out,
you gotta train organizers,

and we, I've been able to recruit

young Black and Latino kids.

My name is Patrisse Cullors.

I am the co-founder of Black Lives Matter.

I'm also the Executive Director

of the Black Lives Matter Global Network.

She came out of the Bus Riders team.

She's grown up in South LA.

Patrice wants the stage,

someone who wants to occupy it.

It is our duty to fight for freedom.

It is our duty to fight for freedom.

It's our duty to win.

You work with each person to say,
you need to lead.

I only have an army of generals.

I do believe in Marxism.

It's a philosophy that I learned really early on

in my organizing career.

We were taught to learn about the systems

that were criticizing capitalism.

Whenever Patrisse Cullors said,
"We're trained Marxists,"

she was telling the truth.

She's a trained Marxist...

and Eric Mann is the man who trained her.

I spend my time right now organizing

mainly young people that wanna be revolutionaries.

Young, primarily women, Black, Latina, Asian.

It's essentially based on guerrilla warfare principles

which is you're up against a far more powerful enemy

and you have a very small little army

and you're trying to figure out what this little army

that may be at best is, um, like a flea bite.

You know, how do you kill an elephant with flea bites?

We start with the intersection

of the Black and Latino community

as a strategic alliance

that's central to building a broader multiracial left.

This is the father of Black Lives Matter.

The Black trans women who have been murdered.

To the extent that Black people are involved.

These are useful idiots.

These are people who are fronts

to carry out the agenda of white Marxists.

If we don't have a base in the Black and Latino community,

we can't branch out.

You gotta have a strategy

and that's at least my strategy.

We don't believe that majority white organizations

can be transformed organizations...

Black Lives Matter?

It's a white-run organization.

It's a white movement.

And it's all about destroying America...

and using people of color in the process.

And so it has been

with but minor variations

in one country after another.

Divide the people.

Get them fighting among themselves

rather than their common enemy.

Well, do they know that the nation's
so divided and weakened

can be easily conquered from within.

Fuck-- Shut your bitch ass up, nigga.

-This entire block has become... -Create

-the appearance of popular support...
-...a memorial to George Floyd.

...through a favorable press and the use of terror,

intimidation, and the creation of martyrs

make the world believe the revolution is a popular one

particularly, among those being liberated.

Neutralize the opposition.

This guy right here is a racist.

He's a white supremacist.

When obstructionists to the cause...

become too irritating,

-label them as fascist, Nazi, -You Nazi piece of shit!

-Fuck you! - ...anti-Semitic, extremist,

racist, controversial.

Precipitate mob violence.

Get the mobs into the streets, march and demonstrate.

-As the demonstrations grow in number and intensity...

...they will acquire political character

through the desired collision and open combat

with the forces of law and order.

I will knock your fucking ear off!

We're watching young people being informed

by people who are leveraging their emotion.

They don't realize that they have been drawn
into a very radical movement

where their lives will be taken over.

When I came to the organization,

when I was organized into the organization,

I was 17 and a half.

I was really angry and I didn't have a, a direction.

I just was spewing anger. I was angry at...

Anytime you want to start a movement

or you want brainwash the people...

you have to deal with those who are angry.

If you're not angry you're not with me.

Then a communist movement can come in

and pretend to be a friend...

...to use you.

1968...

...the wheels were coming off the wagons.

Dr. King was assassinated.

-We became quite race conscious.

Now they're after the white people they gonna congregate.

They gonna caravan out in Inglewood, Del Ray.

And everywhere else the white man supposed to stay,

they gonna do the white man in tonight.

I went from being the nice Catholic kid...

to the angry Black kid.

I was angry about things that happened in the past.

I was angry about things that were gonna happen in the future.

If you said, "Good morning" to me, I was angry.

If you didn't say, "Good morning," I was angry.

And people exploited that.

I remember going to Harvard Square.

All night we were rioting.

And I got back home...

I couldn't explain to myself why I just did that.

You will be used.

You will be taken advantage of

because you cannot see what you're getting into.

You can't see.

The first conscious act in organizing our people

is to let them know who they are.

If you think you're an American you will fight to protect

the interest of capitalist America.

If you know you ain't no American,
you'll fight to destroy

every aspect of American capitalism.

All of us come from somewhere.

All of us have origin stories.

Why do I, as a Black man,

have this nice wholesome German name?

It's because of slavery.

It's important for me to know that story...

but it's also important for me to recognize

that as an American I have another origin story.

And that origin story is not 1619.

It's 1776.

'Cause that's America's origin story,

and I am an American.

And that origin story is filled with suffering and struggle

and bloodshed and overcoming adversity.

An Irish person...

whose family survived the Irish Potato Famine...

...and then came to America...

...is part of our origin story as America.

My Jewish brother whose family survived the Holocaust,

and then came to the United States.

You could go on and on and on

and what you eventually realize is that

God in his providence has brought us all from hardship.

Divine providence was clearly operating

in the lives of Black Americans.

Yes, slavery was horrible.

But out of slavery, came Black America.

If you look at the accomplishments

of Blacks throughout history...

...that would not have happened had they not come to America.

♪ America ♪

We are blessed.

It is a great satisfaction

to have connected with the race of men and women

who are able to do something,

something that enhances the comforts

and conveniences of life.

As you go on increasing your ability to do things of value

you will find that the problem which often nowadays

looks more and more difficult of solution

will gradually become easier.

Booker T. Washington was my hero.

When I was in high school,

they used to take us over to Tuskegee.

Every summer we would spend a week over there

staying in the dorm and learning about Booker T. Washington.

A lot of Black people don't understand

what he was all about.

When he came to Alabama,

when he came to Tuskegee,

he pushed work,

industry,

and the books.

He didn't have pit on these former slaves.

We must recognize

the fact that our capacity

is very largely different

from that of the people of the white race.

I know we like to say the opposite.

It sounds well in compositions, does well in rhetoric,

and makes a splendid essay.

But to say that we are equal to whites

is to say that slavery was no disadvantage to us.

This is all we can say of ourselves.

With proper development our condition and capacity

will be the same as those of the people of any other race.

He was influencing people

to take advantage of their own lives.

Do the best with what they had.

Getting out there and working hard

and earning things on your own.

Be an entrepreneur,

start your own business, build your community.

We need to look to ourselves.

We need to transform from within.

He urged Black people

to set your bucket where you are,

and make your success right there where you are.

Cast down your bucket

where you are.

Cast down your bucket where you are.

It is said that necessity

is the mother of invention.

The need to have goods and products

available to us in our community,

entrepreneurs came.

Black stores, Black doctors and dentists,

and other professionals established their business...

influenced by a Judeo-Christian ethic

that says, "If you don't work, you don't eat."

A Judeo-Christian ethic that talked about

the father to be the provider

and to take care of the family.

Innovation and creativity

produce the kind of responsiveness

that we see take place.

Texas, Georgia--

Atlanta was bustling, Oklahoma.

No one ever loses anything

by being a gentleman or a lady.

No person ever lost anything by being broad.

Remember that if we are kind and useful,
if we are moral,

no matter what people say about us,

they cannot pull us down.

But on the other hand,

if we are without the spirit of usefulness,

if we are without morality,
without economy and property,

without all those qualities

which go to make a people in a nation great and strong

no matter what we say about ourselves,

we are losing ground.

Nobody can give us these qualities merely by praising us

and talking well about us.

And when we possess them...

nobody can take them from us by speaking ill of us.

When you look at these pictures

you get a sense of what Black life was like

in an era where we're told that Black people were unhappy.

-Some of them looked pretty prosperous.

Richard Samuel Roberts,

he captured almost two decades of Black life in the South

during a time when today we're told

Black people could not mobilize upward.

And in these photos, it tells the true story.

After slavery ended,

there were a lot of very successful Black people.

They abounded...

...in a lot of different places.

I grew up down in Alabama.

When I was growing up, we were not raised to hate.

We were never taught that America was bad

and that we were not Americans.

We were raised to love America.

We were taught about slavery

but not in a way where it made you hate.

My family and other Black people around me

were working and owned land,

those that wanted to go to college went to college,

or they started their own business.

My father was born in 1915

in the Jim Crow South...

...Athens, Georgia.

My father always taught my brothers and me that

the door is wide open.

I never felt like I was a victim.

I never even felt we were poor.

I remember thinking my father was rich.

I remember asking my father for a quarter

and he went in his pocket and he gave it to me.

I thought, I thought my dad was rich.

My dad was a, was a janitor.

Elder did not come to his politics

by accident.

His father Randolph was dirt poor

with little education.

He went to night school,

held down two jobs,

and raised a family.

He was a janitor until I was 10 years old.

Then he started a little small business,

a cafe not too far from Downtown LA.

my father was always about working hard

and not making excuses.

When Larry says,

"Look, if you just

forget the issue of racism

just put your head down, study hard, work hard

you're gonna be all right in the end.

You think that's true?

It worked for me.

It worked for me.

That was Black America

but it's in America that we don't learn about

specifically because whenever you have

something to be proud of,

people have less of a chance of controlling you.

People walk around and talk about,
"Make America great again."

Give me the date that America was great for everybody.

It wasn't great for Blacks when we were enslaved

and then had to fight Jim Crow

and then fight for the right to vote.

-It wasn't great for white wo...
-It's now gotten to the point

where it is impossible for me to believe Black leaders

and the Black struggle in America.

I see the lies and the manipulation

-from the media... -...for reparations is...

...Black leaders, the dumb ignorant,

-cowardice brain dead... -...all of this trauma.

...people who are ruining our country

-on a false narrative.
-...this is called racism.

-I'm willing to deny 90% of what people are saying.
-...unified nation.

-You know, I imagine the slaves... -Here's why.

...thought, "Thank God we're, we're gonna all be one..."

The first legal slave owner was a Black man.

Hundreds of Black people owned slaves during slavery.

-But yet our entire plight

of the Black community is because of slavery.

Look at the 1920s and '30s

when Black Wall Street was around

and Black people prospered.

Black people were successful.

They were working hard.

They were building things.

Concentration of Black success and wealth

in the '20s and '30s

that we don't even see today after the Civil Rights Movement.

I'm, I'm starting to become skeptical

of the Civil Rights Movement.

We are not told the entire truth

of the Civil Rights Movement

because Martin Luther King was a socialist.

Free at last.

Thank God Almighty, we're free at last.

Are we just hearing his one speech

and people will glorify his one speech like they glorify BLM?

Black racism is not only happening in the United States.

In 20 years from now Black Lives Matter

is gonna be the new Martin Luther King Movement.

And nobody's gonna correct history.

Dramatic videotape obtained by Channel 5 News

shows what appears to be a group of LAPD officers beating a suspect.

Many of us who had been trying to convince the public

that these kind of incidences were happening,

uh, were almost relieved.

It was like, finally, finally it was on camera.

This is why you can hardly ever trust

-Black people in this country.
-King suffered a fracture...

I did not know that Rodney King

took cops on a high speed chase.

And then I went back in the context of that whole scenario.

Rodney King never complied.

Rodney King was a criminal

ruining the Black community almost every year of his life

and all of a sudden he becomes a god.

Building's on fire.

-Oh, my God. -Terrible, and there's no police presence.

The same Rodney King mentality

is what we see from the Black community even now.

Rodney King is a Philando Castile.

You murdered my friend!

We need to get disruptive a little bit.

-We need to let them know our pain and what we feel.
-Eric Garner.

Angry crowd tonight on the streets...

-Overnight fires.
-...everyone!

-Breonna Taylor.
-...officers and...

-We demand justice!
-We demand justice!

Dramatic video tape obtained...

Rodney King is the same thing

that they're doing today.

The death of Eric Garner.

Philando Castile.

Deadly police shootings.

And we are brainwash people

into believing a history that never happened.

Memorial Day marks 100 years since Tulsa race massacre.

The infamous massacre that took place in Tulsa,
Oklahoma one century ago.

The worst incidents of racial violence in this country,

the Tulsa race massacre of 1921.

The Tulsa "massacre..."

was a race riot

before, I don't know, 2018.

These Black activists and scholars

-turned it into "The Massacre."
-"The Massacre."

-Race massacre. -Race massacre.

Tulsa race massacre.

President Biden will visit Tulsa, Oklahoma

to mark the 100th anniversary of the Tulsa race massacre.

This was not a riot.

-This was a massacre.

That Tulsa massacre is bull crap.

A white mob killed some 300 Black Americans.

300 Black people died, that's not confirmed at all.

The descendants of the massacre

are calling for justice.

They use this example

as to why Black America

was never able to build wealth.

It's pretty much a reflection of just the Black experience

in America in general.

Never able to pass down

wealth generationally to their children.

What would our lives have been

if we weren't robbed of our generational wealth?

They always point to this one place in Oklahoma...

...known as the Greenwood District...

Black Wall Street.

In the '20s, it was a model of Black success.

Black businesses, Black churches,

strong Black family units.

What we're taught is that

the white people who lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma

were jealous of the Blacks who lived in Greenwood.

We're told that they developed this plan

to go in and destroy Black Wall Street...

...to displace these people who lived there,

to burn down these businesses,

to kill as many Black people as possible.

Black people in Tulsa have been oppressed

ever since the massacre for 100 years.

That Black success died in 1921 with a so-called massacre.

There was a pastor in Oklahoma named Solomon Sir Jones.

He was able to film a lot of Black life...

during this time in Oklahoma.

The riot happened in 1921.

1925, according to Solomon Sir Jones' footage,

Black Wall Street was built back.

And what you see...

...is life as usual...

...after the so-called "massacre."

And then you fast forward even to the 1940s...

...you see the same thing.

Successful, happy, well-to-do Black folks.

You broke the contract for 400 years.

We played your game and built your wealth.

You broke the contract when we built our wealth again

on our own by our bootstrap in Tulsa

and you dropped bombs on us.

This is the bitterness and this is the anger

these people hope to get out of framing Black Wall Street.

When they say, "Why do you burn down the community?

Why do you burn down your own neighborhood?"

It's not ours. We don't own anything.

-We don't own anything!
-The whole point is to keep people angry,

to keep people protesting,

to tell you that America was never built for Black people.

The reason we could never be

who we wanted and dreamed to be

is you kept your knee on our neck.

This part of Oklahoma was not the only place

in the United States where Black people were doing well.

There are all sorts of Black neighborhoods like that

throughout the entire South.

And the fact is, those school houses aren't standing today.

Those businesses aren't standing today.

It wasn't white racism that destroyed it.

And we are going to demand that the government

do something about these conditions.

And we are going to demand that they stop cutting off

poverty funds

which end up often making the rich richer...

-That's right. -...and poor poorer.

Now, we're gonna do this, and I just want you to know...

Now, he acts, he acts like a good nigga for the white folk,

but I tell you, I don't want, I don't want
to even be around no more good niggas.

I'm with them no good Negros.

That's what they call, "He's a good Negro."

I wanna be with the bad niggas,

'cause I know what's happening with the bad niggas.

-That's where I wanna be. I wanna be with the niggas.

The thing that killed all these Black businesses...

was a mindset change as a result of the Civil Rights Movement.

There is a major tragic and staggering depression

that we face in our everyday lives.

The rats is sleeping with me and my kids

and why should I pay the rent?

I go to court if you want me to.

How you gonna tell me to love this property

that exploits me every day

when the average Black man in Harlem works the first Monday,

Tuesday, and Wednesday for a landlord.

The thing that killed all this Black success was rhetoric.

Racism...

...is still alive in American society

and much more widespread

than we realized.

-You guys have spent 60 years

complaining about white people where in the good old days

when men were men and boys were boys,

Blacks were not doing that

-they went out-- -When, when was this time, Jesse?

-Befor-- -Please let me, please enlighten me and the listener,

-when was that time? -That's a good question.

Before the Civil Rights Movement.

Booker T. Washington through his Tuskegee Machine

started what was called the Negro Business League.

One of the proteges was a man named Philip Payton.

Encouraged by Booker T. Washington

particularly, his message of buying property...

...went to New York and saw an opportunity

to buy one of the buildings there in Harlem...

...which was predominantly white at the time.

So he bought this building...

and then he began to buy more and more buildings.

He started the Afro-American Realty Company.

This began to spread...

...and other Black realtors began to do the same thing.

This was in the early 1900s, between 1900 and 1910.

People began to migrate to Harlem...

...individuals who were educated in the South.

They were coming to Harlem

not as dumb, ignorant, former slaves

but as individuals who had education, who had skills.

They brought with them all of the ingredients

to really thrive and to really make it

and they were determined to make it.

They became the Black bourgeoisie.

The narrative that we have today

is that Black people were always at the mercy of white people,

that Black people came with their hands out

and it was really up to the white person

as to whether they will allow

Black people to exist or not.

There's this commercial that Beats did where one of the lines

-is, "We don't get to exist..."
-We don't get to exist...

"...we are forced to survive."

...we are forced to survive.

The narrative that that's trying to paint

is that Black people cannot make it

and cannot put one foot in front of the other

unless White people allow us to.

Why do you see white people as supreme over you?

-We don't.
-Yes, you do.

-No.
-You just said it here.

No, I didn't. Again, white supremacy is a structural issue.

Now white people, and some white people, not all,

some white people do feel that they are superior to Black people.

No, you feel that they are.

-They don't feel that way.
-No, I don't. No, I don't,

we've made it very clear that we don't feel that way.

White people do not feel that way.

You can't speak for all white people.

I've had so many arguments

with Black people over the years.

The Blacks who are insecure...

They say during Jim Crow era

that everywhere Black people went they were being attacked.

That Black people lived in fear of white people.

You have a, a beautiful placard here

that talks about, uh, drinking fountains.

-Right.
-And so, when white folks are legislating

where Black people can get access to water,

that is a structural form of racism.

But even when they had

"for colors only" drinking fountain,

"for white only,"

Blacks were still doing better

then than they are today

because the men were not sitting around

whining like little girls

talk about white people holding them back.

Black folk head up 100 times more

before social integration hit.

I'm old enough to tell you all that.

Y'all not old enough to know that yet.

When I was a kid see we had something.

We weren't looking for any social integration.
You know why?

Because we had our own businesses there.

We had our own cab companies, had our own restaurants,

we had our own hotels, we had our own school systems.

My family was part of one that had

the only Black bus line

in the entire United States.

All of our mechanics was Blacks.

All of our drivers were Blacks.

Electricians was Black.

Everything was Black.

-You know what killed our buses.
-What?

Social integration.

When all of a sudden y'all start talking about

Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King going down to Alabama,

want to integrate the bus lines.

Integrate whose bus lines?

I have always ridden in the back of the bus

because I didn't have guts to get in the front of the bus.

But now the time had come,

I was riding in the front of the bus.

Blacks said, "We wanna ride on front of some white buses."

So we said, "We don't have any white buses."

They said, "Well, well get some so
we can ride on the front of them."

I feel like a complete asshole

'cause I never thought about that.

Like that whole time they did the boycott

they should have been trying to establish

-their own bus company...
-Holy shit.

...as opposed to wanting to ride.

I never thought about that.

That y'all boycotted for a year

just to wanna ride on the front?

See, you are a smart man.

I never thought about that.

But you got it now, right?

In 1905, Black people

were literally buying entire buildings.

This idea that Blacks were always at the mercy of whites

is just asinine.

At least when it came to Booker T. Washington

and effect he had on those who put his ideas into practice.

He really pushed vocation, learning skilled trades,

becoming your own man,

taking responsibility of your own communities.

And then you saw this large exodus of Black people

out of those skilled trades.

-Yeah. -Why do you think so many of them left work?

Because they fell for the lie

of the so-called Black leadership.

In the slave South,

Negros impoverished and mistreated

have sought remedy by pouring into the cities.

W.E.B. Du Bois is a towering figure

in Black intellectual history.

And oftentimes people will pit

Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois against one another.

Up From Slavery, Booker T. Washington.

W.E.B. Du Bois, The Souls of Black Folk.

Booker T. Washington, Tuskegee Institute.

W.E.B. Du Bois, the NAACP.

NAACP collects

billions of dollars for racial incitement.

They go out of their way to create race issues

because the more race issues they create,

the more they've got an appeal for begging for funds.

But what do they do with that money?

They do not spend one single cent to build any factories

or shops to create jobs...

or to contribute to the development

of free enterprise in our country.

They're not interested in that.

They wanted to be the head of Black people.

W.E.B. Du Bois was a traitor.

He was an enemy of Black people and America.

A socialist, a communist.

It was Mary White Ovington

and other white socialists who started the NAACP.

White socialists who sought to use Black Americans

to carry out their socialist agenda.

They needed a Black face.

That's where W.E.B. Du Bois came in.

To be the perceived leader.

To appear as amiable to the Black masses.

To Trojan horse this radical ideology.

This nation tries to prove its prosperity

by balancing monopolized wealth

of the owners of great operations

against the poverty of our lower third.

The NAACP was started by

a white socialist woman...

...not a Black man.

Whenever the NAACP began to take off,

you had men like W.E.B. Du Bois

trying to make a name for themselves.

In order to make a name for themselves,

they needed to sabotage men like Booker T. Washington

who had influence.

Unfortunately, it's only a Negro minority

of intellectuals and leftist Negro preachers

who presume to speak for all of the Negro people.

They try to silence all opposition

by calling anybody who disagrees with them "Uncle Toms."

They want to disparage

Booker T. Washington as the Uncle Tom.

Booker T. Washington is this ultimate picture

of the Black person who gives white people what they want

and lets them off the hook.

And W.E.B. Du Bois is this hero

because he airs the grievances

and he calls white people to account.

Which is interesting because he was born to freed men.

He was born well-off.

He didn't know what it was like to be raised in the South.

Booker T. Washington was born and raised in the South.

He was born into slavery.

There was a way of simplicity about Washington.

He was a very confident man.

He was a man of faith.

Du Bois was an atheist,

very troubled and very paranoid.

He was educated at Harvard where he was trained

to look with disdain at Western civilization

and capitalism in particular,

and he saw Booker T. Washington as his intellectual enemy

because Washington pushed utilizing capitalism

instead of trying to do away with it.

You will find it true,

not only in this country but in other countries,

that the demand will be more and more

for people who can do something

regardless of color or condition.

The world is gonna give the places
of trust and remuneration

to men and women who can do a certain thing

as well as anybody else or better.

Just in proportion as we do this,

you will find that nothing under the sun

will keep us back.

I was able to look at this book called,

Harlem: A Century in Images.

It gives you a time line...

...from its inception...

...to its collapse.

From the beginning,
whether it's the kids in the classroom,

the way that the people are dressed,

the business owners.

You see this classiness.

That they're well put together.
That they have self-respect.

That they're dignified people.

And then somewhere down the road,

you have new players on the scene...

...preaching a certain message...

...a certain agitative militant message.

The faces go from being delighted,

happy...

...and hopeful...

...to all of a sudden being angry.

The book captures, probably unknowingly,

the story of Harlem.

Ideas have consequences.

And if you follow these ideas through...

...what you get is the W.E.B. Du Bois story.

Many of us believe and hope

that socialism will and must come to this land.

We see no other way.

But scores of others do not believe this,

and that's their right.

They have, however, no right to prevent the truth

about socialism from being told.

-They have no right to prevent students...
-Socialism.

From studying the remarkable philosophy of Karl Marx.

Begging somebody to accept you, to love you.

That's his legacy.

You had Black power in Harlem,

you legitimately had that.

What Booker T. Washington

and his faction was able to build...

W.E.B. Du Bois and his faction destroyed.

That's the reality of Black Harlem.

The communists have planted the idea,

don't do anything for yourself

just get out there and fight and yell and scream

and demand everything.

That spirit was implanted in them by W.E.B. Du Bois

who was positioned by white socialists.

Lashing civilization into niggers

with drip of blood...

He was doing the same things in his time.

There are only two ways to explain

why Black people were enslaved and white people...

As Ibram X. Kendi and others are doing today.

Fear is one of the dominant emotions
of the Black experience.

Selling out Black people...

Out of the ashes of white denigration

we gave birth to ourselves.

...for prestige...

...doing what he's told.

Must stop the spreading of lies

about the socialist world.

Securing power...

...for socialist demagogues.

As Americans you have a right,

a legal and constitutional right,

to call yourselves communists.

The Communist Manifesto, Karl Marx says

that the communists latch on

to any movement possible around the world

in order to reign in their agenda,

in order to materialize their efforts.

My people, the Negro people of America,

have in the Communist Party their best defender,

the unfailing champion of their cause.

I'm Julia Brown.

For nine years, I was a member of the Communist Party.

During that time I learned that the communist conspiracy

had been planning and working

to bring violent revolution to America.

If all goes, according to the communist blueprint,

Americans will believe that the chaos and violence

has something to do with civil rights.

We've heard people talk about Mississippi,

and we heard people from Mississippi saying that things

are so terrible in Mississippi until there's only one thing

that will solve problem in Mississippi is guerrilla warfare.

We're gonna put every cracker in Atlanta on his knees.

-We want Black Power! We want Black Power!

Our enemies were quick to find

our weakest point for their attack.

They knew that racial differences could provide them

with an excellent wedge to divide our people.

Get out of here. I live here!

Those fucking niggers don't leave here.

-That's your enemy out there.

That's your enemy, don't you forget it,
'cause I ain't, honky.

Their strategy simply has been

to keep hammering on that wedge

to drive it deeper into our social structure,

to open all wounds that have long since healed,

and deliberately to create new ones wherever they can.

We are at war!

You are behind the enemy's lines,

you better get you some guns, don't you forget it.

They're scared of my rifle,
wait till I get me an atomic bomb.

Having been on the inside, it's easy for me

to recognize this revolutionary agitation in disguise...

but the average American finds it's hard to believe

that something as worthy and noble sounding

as a Civil Rights Movement

could possibly be a communist maneuver.

We have to begin to ask the hard questions.

Are there things culturally,

are there things generationally

that we've been doing, that we've been thinking,

that we've been believing

that are contributing to these problems?

Are there things in some of those victories that we won

that maybe flip things in a different direction

than we thought?

Did we begin to depend on the government

at the expense of the strength
of depending on our families,

and our fathers and our men?

This administration today here and now

declares unconditional war on poverty in America.

Along came the great society.

The war on poverty...

...the things that took away

the incentive for family formation...

...made people dependent...

...made people think that they had
a right to be taken care of.

That was the death blow to the Black community.

It's changed the psyche.

We no longer think out of the framework

of a Judeo-Christian ethic that is incumbent upon me

to use the gifts that God has given me to meet my needs.

And now, we're depending upon the state.

This food stamp card ain't got nothing but 17 cents on it.

Terry Clark says she stood in line for more than six hours

at Clayton county's Human Services office because food stamp

held for her six children unexpectedly ended.

There's no telling my kids that we can't eat.

I'm not taking no, 'cause my babies don't deserve that.

When are y'all gonna come through?

When are you gonna come through?

When I'm on my last pill?

Or better yet, when I'm dead?

Me and my kids, they haven't ate since this morning.

So and I'm supposed to get my food stamps yesterday

and I ain't get nothing.

I sometime wonder what would America be

had the Blacks not fallen for the trap

or the tricks of the so-called Civil Rights Movement.

Had they not gone with that but stayed on their course,

how great would this generation of Blacks be?

They would be inventing things, creating things,

and have a peace of heart and peace of mind

and they would be able to live with their neighbors

without ideas and thoughts about being hated

because of their color and things like that.

It would be a different Black people.

It really would.

But they sold their soul to so-called
Civil Rights leaders and so forth,

most have not been able to return.

It was difficult for me to realize

what I realized about Martin Luther King.

An American icon...

...the Holy Grail...

...taking something that was once noble...

...the image of the Black pastor.

Put his faith in God...

...put his family first...

...raised his children well...

...taught them productivity.

That was the Black community.

People who were proud to be American.

What Martin Luther King gives us is that image...

...but it's preaching a different message.

And it didn't cost the nation one penny

-to integrate lunch counters. -Well...

It didn't cost the nation one penny

to guarantee the right to vote.

But now, we are dealing with issues that cannot be solved

without the nation spending billions of dollars

and undergoing a radical redistribution of economic power.

Yes, yes.

We'll get into that next.
