Because if all you are doing is talking about what’s happening on the inside of your organization’s and you’re not helping black folks and sternly it’s a waste of damn time amen are we clear let me say this here they’re people who are commenting I see right now on YouTube and Facebook and
They’re saying well you know here the proposals from senator Carla Harris and others for HBCUs what they don’t understand is we’re talking about state universities that’s right these are the and we’re not talking about waiting for the federal government because first of all you can be sitting there calmly
Harris or any Democratic presidential candidate you can promise all the HBCU funding you want but it still has to get approve and appropriated by Congress that’s a sign into law the reality is these states should be funding these schools same was in North Carolina just like Mississippi same as in Texas same
As it I mean all the places where you have public HBCUs you black people are taxpayers in these state that’s right it is bothersome to me about this story and we’ve covered it coming for years again Democrats control the Maryland legislature I tweeted this out and I
Said how in the hell can the n-double-a-cp be headquartered in Baltimore how can you have divine nine fraternities sororities you’ve got the UNCF and Thurgood Marshall Fund I don’t recall there being a mass demonstration in Maryland demanding equity the lawyers are doing their job I’m like where in the hell is the public
Pressure of individuals saying yeah we don’t go to the Napa’s the state capital in our fraternity colors in our sorority colors or we in no pattern or sorority demanding equity in a state that has if I’m correct Maryland has the third highest concentration of black folks out
Of any state in the Union well the lawyers we’re doing their thing you’ve had the black caucus and the black caucus has already said there’s 200 million is unacceptable you have you had that but to me that’s the inside game that’s the inside game yes the inside game
Gotta have the outside game because see when the outside folks are outside the door but enough to go down inside and say look y’all might want to deal with us because see if they get inside here so I’m just I’m just trying to understand and I’m saying right now
N-double-a-cp how in the hell can you be headquartered in Baltimore and there’s not being a mass mobilization in Maryland leading people to the state capitol to demand this be done that to me and look and I tweeted out earlier where in the hell is the n-double-a-cp and the National Urban League and the
National Action Network and Rainbow PUSH and the UNCF and the Thurgood Marshall Fund and alpha and Delta and aka and Kappas and omegas and Sigma’s as days and I Otis you the divine that alone has two million members do understand if each president put sent an
Email out say to every member call this number they could completely shut down a switchboard in Maryland hell they wouldn’t repair it for a week and I’m sitting there going how is it you’re not saying you know what we should be doing that that’s that’s my look do understand
Yours you understand this morning I’ve already text the Alpha president who’s also the president of divine nine just so y’all know I’ve already text the Delta president I’ve already text the aka president just so you all know and Derek with the n-double-a-cp and Morial with the Urban League and Sharpton
Remember Jackson y’all get y’all text messages tonight I’m gonna let y’all know as we continue a little keep covering this story we did reach out to the governor’s office and so yo governor Hogan’s seeing somebody here also the dude ran for attorney general in Maryland you came on this show and you
Said you could be fighting for the HBCUs I’m calling us back on a g1 comeback talk about this case and then and also all you black State Legislatures I want to hear what y’all gotta say but pressure you putting on as well because we should have to wait for
Judicial ruling in October when it comes to of the merits of this case but the last thing I’m gonna say it again and I’ve given speeches about this all across the country I’ve said this I gave the Brotherhood speech at the Alpha convention in Baltimore two years ago I
Said this year at the Delta convention that was in New Orleans I said this at the aka convention when I was on up there last year and I’ve said to the rest of y’all the vine nine has two million members if we got time to organize some a step show and
Some probate show you can’t tell me we can’t organize to try to get a billion damn dollars for HBCUs and that should be a collection that should be a collection that should be a grouping of people in a black and gold and purple and gold and red and white and all them
Colors moving on the state capital because I it’s a waste of resources for us to meet and by the way that’s the buyer nine Prince Hall Mason’s y’all to Eastern Star y’all to Sigma Pi fighter boule ladies of distinction Jack and Jill hell I miss the links missin links
The links Oh y’all it makes no sense to have national organizations and we’re not using our collective power to change this I can guarantee you that if Governor Hogan hears from a million black people between now and Friday blowing up his phone line blowing up their emails and blow up the phone lines
In the email of a House Speaker in the state Senate and they say oh my god these black votes are coming after us we better negotiate a deal I don’t want to hear no lip service I want to hear all know we can’t all got emails and it’s time for you to use
Collective power otherwise stop having all these damn meetings because if all you are doing is talk about what’s happening on the inside of your organization’s and you’re not helping black folks and sternly it’s a waste of damn time are we clear get the money in Maryland then go get
The money North Carolina you go get the money in Texas you go get the money in Florida yet it’s the same playbook outside helps inside but inside can’t just do it if nobody outside and that’s the problem that the way off of this is run if the national president of Alpha
Phi Alpha dr. Ward presses a button and says to every chapter do this they do it same as Delta same as aks I’m like usual power and that’s been my biggest problem having these international organizations with national leadership regional leadership state leadership grant chapters undergrad chapters we get our
Team programs give all that infrastructure and it’s just sitting there not being activated except when it’s time for regional or national convention this is real money real money the AKS raised a million dollars the HBCUs in one day head up the glove on the show great job we can get right here
500 to a billion with pressure if we actually use it hey fam I want you to like share and subscribe to our YouTube channel youtube.com forward slash rollin s Martin and don’t forget to turn on your notifications
