And King's Tower, this is Sunset in. It's a Motel 6. Yeah, so. So, yeah, let's aspire to that. Let's aspire to live in a hotel where for most black people, living in a hotel means you on rock bottom. Like, you. You. You are homeless, pretty much. And how you gonna. How you gonna run the hotel if you're not there? So you talking about niggas pulling 16, 12 hour shifts on a split. And your family, you come over here, you don't. You. You don't know the language, you don't understand the culture. And you live in a fucking hotel and you clean up rooms and doing all this labor damn near for free. Yeah, Indians aren't on gas station and hotel plantations. Go to the gas station, see the nigga who own it, and tell me he ain't been there since 8am Day in, day out, 365. Hey, if that's your idea of financial freedom, have at it. I don't want to own a gas station if I got to live in that bitch. But we look at that as something to aspire to. White people are just miserable drug addicts that they live in a mental prison that they created. The standards they created. They can't achieve that supremacy. That's what I'm supposed to aspire to. No, I aspire to be what. What I already am. And I aspire to get back all the things we. That's my aspiration. We talked about it on Patreon episode. We're going to get back to the church, we're going to lead a religion and we're going to get back to the church. We're going to have experts come in to teach us about agriculture. Tradesmen come in, teach us about the trades. Doctors come in, teach us about health and nutrition. All black. I'm telling you, that's my five year plan. And we gonna let you niggas sully it. We'll be right back at this quick commercial break. We back. Now. I know all my business folks, my entrepreneurs gonna say what you saying? We shouldn't aspire to own businesses that. Come on, let's not be dense. I understand, I understand that we're gonna need our own. I understand we're gonna need our own gas stations. But let's go. Let's start in the places where we operate. Let's start in the places where we already spend our money. Beauty supply stores, that's where we should start. Nail salons, we should start there. And we gotta stop capping each other, trying to whack niggas heads off just cause they walk into business. I'm gonna say it again. We gotta stop doing business like crack dealer Asians are extremely robotic. Extremely robotic. They're trying to live up to their own stereotypes. The stereotypes of being mathematical geniuses and wizards and intellectually so intellectually superior to everybody else. That's fine. It's a lot of pressure. And we see how to put the pressure on the kids. Because what they're really trying to aspire to is to compete with white supremacy. Got ISO speed over there, flying cars and doing all this shit instead of being called a monkey. Still racist. Ain't got to understand that they operate in robotic because they live off a social credit score. So they're even there nicely. Their politeness is contrived, it's boxed in. It's not real, it's programmed. So let's go for the businesses and operate the businesses that we keep afloat. The beauty supply stores are afloat. Because of us. The nail salons, especially the ones in our neighborhood, are heavily afloat because of us. So we should go for those businesses and rise and grind it out. Let them niggas had a. They can have the gas stations, they can have the hotels until we get to a space where we're going to operate and own our own hotels and gas stations. But we should go where we spend our money the most first. And then we should do business according to how business should be done. Sometimes you got to understand that operating a business doesn't mean you're going to be a millionaire. But if you can make 250, $300,000 in profit a year, you're living a good life. You're living a good life and you're providing a service to the community. And the community feels safe there and they feel respected there and they feel welcome and it feels like home. And of course they're going to want to bring their money back. But when I'm. When I walk into a place and I feel like a jug, I don't want to come back. I shouldn't feel taken advantage of when I leave, even down to the food. We should be entrepreneurs. We should earn our own businesses. We should walk into places and see ourselves and we should be greeted with the same respect. And the red carpet should be rolled out for us, naturally, because we should be opening the businesses for ourselves. We see how much money we spend consumer wise. And I understand, we operate a business too. I understand overheads, I understand product costs, all these different things. But you have to get to the point of how many times are you going to flip a day instead of trying to make it all back off of one flip? This is not the drug deal. This is not the drug business, okay? When they go get their product, their life is at risk. You work in a supply chain. Shout out to Coffee Black went to Ethiopia, built his own supply chain. Shout out to Circa Sense. Y'all see it. Black owned candle company. We show her love, she showed us back by customizing us our own candle. It don't take nothing to show love, bro. We gotta get to a place we show each other love. But we can't look to any other community to set our own standards. They're not doing it right if they have a history. Why would you look to a society that has a history of killing you, that has a history of always backdooring you, that has a history of only using you for what they can gain from you? They a history of violence, a history of addiction, a history of just being in disarray even within their own communities, creating standards that they can't achieve so they can control. Why are we looking to that as some sort of aspiration or something? We need to adopt. You want to adopt sociopathy, psychopathy, that's what you want to adopt. Insanity? You want to deplore all of the empathy out of your body to get ahead. This is not something to aspire to. Everything that we need is already within us, but we have to channel it towards each other. If we can excuse the racism of these communities to try to find humanity in them, then why can't we look towards each other knowing our history? It's detailed. We understand how it's divided us. We understand the lasting effects it's had on us and why we treat each other the way we treat each other. And we understand how those things are used in media to continue to push that narrative. When we see each other in person, it's really love. It's actually love. I actually go out and see black people and feel loved, feel welcome, feel like I'm within community. I feel comfortable when I walk into a space and there's a lot of black people in there. I love that. That's why I'm comfortable at. I'm uncomfortable when I walk in and I'm the minority. Don't want to be there. Got to keep my head on the motherfucking swivel because I know the history and you do too. Stop trying to implore empathy upon these communities and cut them off. They only, they only seek us for what they can get from us. It's black and brown pride. When the police kill a Hispanic man, oh yeah, it's black and brown in. Oh yeah, it's yellow and black. Then when they need us to come on the front lines of protest with us, but steadily perpetuating the same monkey stereotypes, anti black rhetoric. And their society is built on anti blackness. All of them go to their societies, go look at their cultures. The darker you are, the less you have. And they bring. And they bring that mentality over here and it's supported and backed by white supremacy and it's encouraged to be anti black. And you can find in your motherfucking heart and in your mind, you can find a reason to be empathetic and excuse them and try to find the humanity in them. But you won't do that for your own brother and sister who have such a similar experience to you that who else is going to relate to you better? Who's going to understand your struggle? Who's going to understand your plight better, your brother or your sister. The conversations that we've created in this space alone have changed the minds of thousands of people. We single handedly turned the YN narrative upside down. We single handedly did that by imploring empathy, by looking at those young men and seeing ourselves. I don't want to hear why in don't say that shit around me. Take it out your vocabulary. Because just like woken DEI is another way to call you a nigger. You could be 17 years old, valedictorian with all the ropes, all the decorations, this valedictorian of the school. Oh, the Y N's in education now that's how you sound, like that's what y'all would say. And you allow these people trick you and to make fun of you and then you adopt it and try to hehe and haha, everything ain't goddamn funny. Everything ain't funny, nigga. I don't find that shit funny. Soon as you see a black man, he young, you can tell he a young teenager or young twenties. You want to call him a Y N. Stop that shit, man. Stop that shit. Don't let them trick you into villainizing yourself. Because what do you think they think when they hear Y N in a mind? They got a villainous teenager out of Chicago or Philadelphia with a ski mask on ready to kill each other. That's what they think when they hear why Stop saying that shit. You can say nigger. Them like everybody else, always trying to find a loophole into our fucking community, into our culture. They got all this shit to say about niggas, but always trying to find a backdoor into our culture. It's always our culture up for the taking. It's never, it's never a conversation about like niggas ain't out here wearing kilts and then oh, they're trying to, they're trying to cosplay our community. You don't hear Scottish people talking about black people trying to be in there or appropriate their culture. You don't never hear about black people trying to appropriate nobody else fucking culture. The culture we have appropriated, it's violence, backdoor, two facedness, jealousy, envy. That's the only thing we're appropriating. Let go of that shit, man. We can do this shit ourselves because there's a lot of industries that we keep afloat with our labor. There's a lot of community. There's a lot of industries that we keep afloat with our consumption. Us consuming their narratives about us keeps the Prison industry afloat. You got young men out here right now knowing that they're gonna go to prison, haven't even thought about college. Change. It's all systemic. And if we keep feeding into the narrative of pointing and wagging our fucking fingers at each other, it's not going to change. Implore empathy, implore love towards one another. That's how you change things. You want to know what's on these young men's minds? Go ask them and allow them to speak. Stop wagging your fucking finger at it. Because the thing is, they take a risk with their lives every day. You don't understand that type of risk. And they don't want to be talked down to. And the reason they're taking that risk, because they probably don't feel any love. And a young. And the young nigga narrative, the Y narrative, make them feel even more ostracized from the community. Because now it's their elders, the people that are supposed to love them, turning their back. Trauma come from shit like that. If you have a mother that's jealous of you that's going to create such a division in your life, a trauma in your life. Because this is the person that's supposed to love me. This is the person that's supposed to support me. This is the person that's supposed to direct me on my path, teach me the mistakes they made so I don't make them myself, and do it with love and stop wagging your fucking fingers. This is why the young people have such an issue with elders. Always wagging your goddamn fingers. You don't think you owe us no respect, but you act like you don't understand what our position is. You act like you wasn't young once and dumb and making bad decisions. And now that you got it right and got it together, you think you could wag your fingers? Stop wagging your goddamn finger. Because that don't feel. That don't feel like love. We have to switch our mentalities towards each other. And it's happening. So guess what? I'm going to continue to push it. Because they never stop with negativity. They never stop pushing their negativity. They never stop. If your great great grandma wasn't in America, if your great great grandma didn't deal with Jim Crow, didn't deal with Reconstruction, didn't, didn't. Don't have any lineage of American chattel slavery. When we start talking about respirations, you go ahead and shut the fuck up. Don't tell us I don't want to. Respect. Respect Respect. I understand. The playbook is the same all across the diaspora. So whatever you dealt with in Haiti ain't got nothing to do with what we talking about in America. Because we trying to help you get your money back from France. If we can do it here, we can do it there. Because it all stems from here. All the culture follows us. Want to talk about African Americans ain't got no culture. Go look in Nigeria. There's a bunch, a bunch of Y ends out there now dressing, throwing up our gang signs, wearing Nike skis is hot as hell. Bubble coat got on bubble coat. Montclair. It starts here. The sooner you accept that and start supporting us, the sooner you might see a difference in where you're from. Because we're going to support it. Won't be doing all that hate and shit. I don't want to hear about what your great grandpa went through in Jamaica if it didn't happen here. When we start talking about reparations in this country, you shut the fuck up. Unless it's support. I don't care about your nigga who came over, your uncle who came over here with $6 and built this. I don't give a fuck. I don't care about that. We talking about here when we talking about business that pertains to us and our history here. If it don't got nothing to do with you and you're not going to be supportive, you shut the fuck up. Because as soon as something happened to you, we gonna be the first ones to speak up. And there's a history of that. If we don't turn towards each other globally, we're gonna have even more problems. Go take that. Pop the balloon and cancel that. Baddies is canceled. Thank God we can get the Shade Room out of here. Next. Federal funding ran out for no jumper. Once they hit the sting operation. Now that's going to be gone. Follow suit. Because if we overwhelmingly despise it. But it's still. But it's still going well. That sound like federal funding. All of it is possible. We have it all. We've seen it all. We have blueprints. Yeah, they're gonna come through and try to destroy. And we have to be steadfast about defending what's ours. We can't submit to defeat. Oh well, they'll come destroy it. So we just not gonna try. No, no. That's how you make situations worse. And you're projecting defeat. Projecting fear. That shit gotta stop. If you're not speaking life into a situation, if you're not being completely Optimistic. Optimistic about the possibilities. You shut the fuck up. You don't think niggas that speak in progress understand regression? You don't think we understand the pitfalls? You don't think we understand how things have been destroyed? Nigga, the reason I'm speaking on, because I understand what was lost. I understand how it was lost. I understand why it was lost. I know why they trying to destroy it. And I'm trying. And I'm trying to encourage niggas to rebuild it. And I want to be a part of the rebuilding process. And I don't need you to hear. I don't need to hear you. I'm laying the foundation. You talking about. Oh, well, you remember when they built the foundation, like, shut the fuck up. All that scary ass. I got time for that scary shit. You want to be scared? You gonna be scared over there, over here, we're going to be fearless. We're going to have courage, and we're going to be willing to fight the fuck back. And if something happened where a young man defend himself and the media is overwhelmingly trying to paint him like a villain, we're going to put our money in that defense fund, and we're going to make sure he represented by the best. And get to these voicemails and emails. Man.
