Earn all you must monetize all you want get all the money you can get in this world because the future is not guaranteed for your grandchildren’s grandchildren but make sure there something you keep sacred that you always do for free what’s going on y’all this your boy Aristotle Investments I’m with the main
Man Dr Umar we about to drop so much knowledge we talking black history we talking black Finance we talking black liberation white man said okay he talking at black talk let me see what happened when I take that b he talking at black talk let me see what happened
When I turn him broke consistency are you still standing on your same political Square today as you did 10 years ago or did you start getting soft did you start compromise you can look at my message today look at my message 5 years ago look at my message 15 years
Ago I never compromised you must be consistent because without consistency people can’t what trust you I’m trying to give out the wisdom that the ancestors put in my head to give to you I’m back with another episode of kicking it with the ogs and I got the legendary
Dr Umar Johnson how you feeling peace and Pana africanism glad to be with you thanks for having me and much love to the entire ATL family thank you so much for coming it’s definitely an honor to meet you definitely an honor to have you here so I want to kick the show off
Straight up what do you believe is the solution for black people becoming a financial power great question question what is the solution for black people towards becoming a financial power I would argue that the biggest obstacle to our financial empowerment is our lack of economic discipline as you know being a
Successful Trader you have to be able to save so that you can invest and build our people are trapped in a consciousness of conspicuous consumption if we do not change that it’s going to be hard to catch up with the other r groups for a piece of this great
American Pie Community wise we may be successful as individuals like yourself but in order to do this as a people we’re going to have to undergo some serious psychological reconstruct reconstruct and we’re also restructuring and we’re also going to have to undergo some serious modifications to our economic appetite we’re spending too
Much money on things we do not need whereas the things we do need are being left undone so for example as I travel the country nowhere I’ve been yet and I’ve been almost everywhere there’s no Black Wall Street operating for our people and when I say Black Wall Street I mean a blackowned
Bank blackowned School blackowned Supermarket blackowned hospital and a blackowned manufacturing and distribution Network to give our people jobs and provide them with the basic commodi they need for everyday living those five institutions are the essence of an independent Community we are2 trillion dollar people two trillion the
Richest group of Africans in the world in terms of income no Black Wall Street so the financial restructuring of the way we think our priorities our values and most of all our spending habits must be a priority if we’re going to change this situation you actually were the one who
Pointed out that that whole system where we need the banks the hospitals the schools we need to be vertically integrated pretty much in order to succeed so I want to get to the next question where do you see the state of black people in the next 10 years that’s
A great question where do I see black people in the next 10 years I’m going to say that as we sit here in 2024 that we don’t fix this in the next 10 years which will be 2034 then by 2054 we will all but be exterminated annihilated or incarcerated in this
Country right now as you know there is a government sanctioned and financed migrant takeover of key black cities in this country they’re bringing in the migrants to take take over New York City from the blacks to take over Chicago from the blacks I was in Kansas City
They have a migrant Community New Jersey has a migrant Community I was in Sacramento migrant Community Antioch migrant Community Los Angeles has already had one the point that I’m making is America never intended black people to be here long term they never intended us to be here long term and
There opinion we have worn out our welcome so to help Usher us out the way they’re going to bring the migrants in to exhaust all of the remaining social services so there’s none left for us they’re going to take over all of the available industry jobs low paying labor
Jobs so there’s nothing available for us can I ask you something do you believe that’s a Target towards black people or all minorities no matter black in particular black in particular and I’m going tell you why the migrants are already Hispanic Asians have already been chosen
By the white power structure to be the priority minority so the Asians are set yeah the Native Americans have their reservations Latinos are the migrants Indians are already doing well East Indians Arabs already have their stake who are the only people in America who do not control any part of the
American economy it’s the American African it’s black folks look at the Indians their share of the hotel market look at their share of the Fast Food Markets look at the uh European Jews with the banking industry the Asians with the Import and Export if you look there’s a color on every sector of
Society what sector of society do black people control we can’t say music and entertainment because although we are the raw product we are not the controllers of those corporations look at Hip Hop most of that is controlled by Caucasians look at Hollywood Caucasian what do we own and control and if we are
Going to survive this economically black people need to come together your generation in particular and decide what part of the American economy are we going to corner and monopolize because it ain’t about competition it’s about monopolization people are trying to monopolize aspects of society nobody wants competition what did uh John D
Rockefeller say he said competition is a sin and what did the Rockefellers do in order to take over the oil industry they sabotaged all the competitors so there would be no competition the problem with us brother Aristotle is our religious indoctrination has taught us that the
Way to succeed in the world is to collaborate with other groups nothing wrong with respecting other groups but guess what nobody is interested in collaboration when the Chinese come to Atlanta they’re not coming here to share with you they coming to find a piece of their own Pie
When the Arabs get here when the Jew who’s looking to collaborate with black people nobody but we’re looking to collaborate with anyone we’re extending a hand that is never reciprocated we have to get the eye of the tiger we have to get the dog mentality that says I’m
Going to fight for a piece of this American dream so my grandchildren’s grandchildren can eat food wear clothes and sleep in a home with the roof on top of it we are not as aggressive economically as we should be as a people imagine if we were as aggressive with
Our financial investments as we are with our materialistic consumptions think about that a sister will go to the other side of Atlanta to get the right weave a brother will go to the other side of Atlanta to get the right pair of Jordans you see this look at how we go out of
Our way to buy things that have no true value or impact on the community but when it comes to the things that have an impact on the community or that we should be valuing very little interest in it before we can have an economic Revolution there has to be a
Psychological Revolution if we don’t change the way we think we never change the way we spend have you always wanted to invest in stocks learn the stock market interested in trading to earn another stream of income let’s just say the average person in America makes $20

About that I do one of the things that I like is I just read a report that talked about Young American Africans being the largest and or the fastest growing investment population in America those under 35 represent the greatest growth in the stock and investment Market I’m
Loving it here’s where I would give them some direction I’m glad you’re doing this but when do all of you doing these Investments come together you see this how do we consolidate this where is the virtual integration across platform and investor so we can create some opportunities for the community because
While you all are doing a great job building this wealth we still got young Brothers in Buckhead blowing each other’s brains out we still got Brothers in Philadelphia New Jersey Houston Baltimore killing each other so my thing is are we just trying to become the 21st Century’s version of the black bis are
We trying to become the 21st Century’s version of The Talented 10th or are we going to try to use this wealth to help create opportunities for those on the bottom in other words the future for black economics the leadership of the future of black economics will be for
Those of your generation and Beyond who not only builds wealth for themselves but find a way to empower those at the bottom because until we do that we’re only operating from a black bis agenda you have an interesting point and that 40% of young black investors investing personally believe I have a
Large impact in America on that happening meaning like me as a young black fly brother doing what I do yes sir and I teach so I teach for free every Sunday I have a show called stock Sundays so I teach for free every Sunday I got a large real estate project that I
Can’t say on camera that I’m buing yes sir on the south side of Atlanta so to answer your question we are as young black men coming together behind the scene it is my generation I got the number one developer actually showing up now here to come watch you powerful um
Young black developer I’m the number one young black investor like in America period like right now as far as what we do so it is we are in the early stages of cuz I know everybody in my industry as far as finance and we trying to figure
Out right now we speak like we are and you’re right empowering the bottom you said that the most the best thing was empowering the bottom is how we get there yes sir so I started this thing called the small account challenge for my business teaching people how to grow
1,000 2000 you see how see how he just said he he turned a band and he’s up three now yes sir see I learned that we got to empower the bottom as well so that’s my Niche my Niche is teaching you how to invest with little money cuz you’re right we were focusing
On the black bis for a while like okay and I had to tell people look everybody ain’t got 100,000 to throw in crypto everybody ain’t these people working with a r you get what I’m saying a thousand so you can’t the waste thank you so we so we always have to talk to
The bottom if we want to get solutions for the black community yes and the reason why we got to talk to the bottom is no matter how successful you may be I may be Brothers over there may be when you go to your car at night or
When you go to your car in the morning or when your queen or your children or your mother or your father go to their car at night or go to their car in the morning you don’t ever want a tragedy to be waiting for them because someone who
You don’t even know who envies what you have done with your life is angry and jealous that you selfishly didn’t show me how to do this as well see in order for us to protect ourselves from black-on-black crime we have to show black people that we’re thinking about
Them as well so when that 12 and 13 year old brother pulls up on you in your bins and your Phantom and your Mercedes and pull out the gun and say give me everything you got and you ain’t moving fast enough God forbid he takes your
Life we as a community have our DNA on that crime because if we were creating opportunities for the brothers in the streets and sisters at the bottom he would have never had to roll up on you in that Mercedes see here’s the thing economics by itself is not capitalism
Capitalism is when you have an unequitable inequitable distribution of the wealth this is true not only for America it’s true for the black community wherever there’s capitalism which is exploitation of the resources by the few to the detriment of the many whenever you have that INE equable distribution of wealth
You have crime so I have a question to ask you when you said it is my generation you you believe it is my generation who is responsible for the the growth of black people or do you believe your generation still all of us the reason I’m pointing to your
Generation in particular because the youth always carries the revolution true do you follow me so we are all involved but it’s the youth that carry the revolution go back to civil rights right even though Dr King’s face was on it and he was a youth himself but although his
Face was on it if it wasn’t for the HBCU students at the Greensboro sit in if it wasn’t for them HBCU students on the freedom rers you see what I’m saying if it wasn’t for the Youth those civil rights bills never get pass so now we’re talking about an economic Revolution you
See what I’m saying not only is your generation more knowledgeable than your parents generation you have the energy and the fearlessness to get it done you see what I’m saying so we all in this it’s all for one but it’s always the youth that takes us where we got to
Go as the old African proverb says old man for wisdom young man for war so I’m glad you’re here because now I really want to talk about it since we you’re speaking from your generation perspective I’m speaking from mine that’s why this show is called Kicking It with OG’s cuz I already understand
That so myp perspective is this being in the industry that I’m in you will say okay we have to go to the black Banks we got to go to our black leadership we have to go to Black this black this but if you’re building effectively the black leadership come to
You but but see yeah you’re right so I’m the young man who tried that okay hey black man who’s older than me I got this going on what do I do and the one black man who I can honestly say helped me the most is fly he uh he’s a music executive
For Rich homi Quan and Luchi you know those two guys he is the owner of their music cataloges right so you know a man who’s up hundreds of M so he’s been a a great mentor to me but what I was telling him was cuz we went to this
Conference it’s a bunch of white men there old white billionaires this and that and they was giving me all these resources and I was like dang I would go to Black Brothers for these same things MH and not only do they not want to help you but they feel threatened because
Young black men like myself are either doing better than them or too close to them so they don’t want to give us the resources so it’s some it’s a disconnect from The Young to the old because to be honest a lot of even your generation somehow just now getting it too you get
What I’m saying getting to the paper so that’s another thing too that’s why I’m even doing this because I’m trying to bridge the gap Bridge the generations you get what I’m saying I’m trying to bridge the gap because I I need y’all to understand that we’re not against y’all
And we need to understand that y’all not against us let me say something to that you’re bringing up a great point and I like how you tied it in to the name of your podcast Yeah couple points number one the reason why we as black men are so
Egotistical is because we’re the only men in America who are not allowed to flex their masculinity in society without people being threatened this is why we always lead with our chest stuck out we always leading with our uh bravado our machismo our male ego why I can Flex my
Masculinity in the stock market at least not up until now you understand I can’t Flex my masculinity on my job I can’t Flex my masculinity in the political world anywhere the black man goes if he stands confidently in his masculinity he’s considered a threat so now let me
Bring it back to what you just said because it’s related the reason why your elders and my elders and I’m dealing with this right now by the way on the political side older black men intimidated and envious at what you’ve done with your life first of all don’t
React to the envy you have to humble and discipline yourself not to react to the Envy because if they had the opportunities you had they wouldn’t be envious so there’s a humility that we have to flex in the presence of our elders respect their struggle you feel
Me come to them humbly sometimes you got to dim your light to make the Elder comfortable that’s okay if you’re doing it in the long-term interest of the best interest of the black community right so in the black community because of that ego because of that PSY olical
Castration of African men in this country we’ve never built what the men of every other culture has built and what I’m speaking of is the intergenerational transfer of power let me tell you what that is let’s say you and I are in the same economic market
Right I’m a generation above you once I get to be 60 years old I say brother Aristotle I still got a lot of life to live but it’s time for me to pass this on to you I’m going to sit you down I’m going to train you on that which you
Don’t know to add to what you do know I’m falling back I’m still here I’m the quarterback now but you’re the running back I’m giving you the ball you got to get to the line you feel me we don’t have that in Black America Jews have it
Arabs have it Native Americans have it Latinos have it Asians have it everybody except us that’s what I that’s so so let me give this last you go ahead goad let me give this last point on it because this might help inform your response this is why when you go to the
Black churches in Atlanta they mostly run by Elders you’re starting to see more young pastors but it’s mostly Young by Elders run by Elders if you go to our community based organizations mostly run by Elders you’re starting to see some youth but the youth had the fight they
Wait in they were not invited you had to fight your way in you were not invited we will never get anywhere as a race as long as the older black man is jealous of his replacement thank you because we only get better if you sharper than me
This is why we got to kill our ego we only get better if you’re better than me if Aristotle ain’t better at Dr O then at at my age if you’re not better at my age when you get here I failed you and the Young Brother under you better
Be better than you when he gets to your age that’s growth but but guess what that does not work in the best interest of the ego and this is why I always say the ego of the Negro is one of the greatest obstacles to the progress of
Our people if we don’t kill the ego the ego will kill the community well you did answer my question yeah you did right there and that was powerful and I’m glad you said that because I believe that message is going to go viral and it’s going to translate through the black community
We to this is the that there is a disconnect for that reason ego we feel it on both ends y’all feel like we a’t listening to y’all we feel like y’all don’t want to hear what we got to say or trying to help us come up because we also feel like y’all
Trying to come up as we’re trying to come up you get what I’m saying and there room for everyone I’m going to give you this this an excellent conversation might be the first time I’ve had it to be honest with you out of all the interviews we suffer from a plantation
Mentality I want to take it back to slavery on the plantation we all working cotton rum Indigo whatever the slave master God is doing we out there working Sunrise the sunset dying breaking our backs once a year the slave master would free one of us only one and do you know how you
Got in a position for your slave master to recognize you and potentially offer you a meritorious Manu mission by telling on me in other words you had to expose the brother who’s trying to run away you had to expose the brother sneaking off to see his wife late at
Night on another Plantation but they only allow one or two their freedom every year but it’s a thousand on the plantation so when you go through this after 20 Century excuse me 20 Generations or 400 years you begin to believe that only one or two blacks can
Make it at a time I want you to see why the jealousy is so intense so when they see Aristotle doing this thing coming from this condition Plantation mentality do you know what a lot of brothers think when they see you they say okay I’m
Jealous of him I got to replace him why you got to replace him not physical replacement but in terms of success I got to outdo him why why can’t you join him why can’t you work with him why can’t you collaborate with him because we were trained on the plant ation that
Only one or two can make it at a time so when we see another black man making it when I see Aristotle doing this thing do you know what comes into my mind I got to replace them or I got to erase them because there’s no room for me who said
There’s no room for you there’s enough room for all of us but because we’ve been hypnotized by the slave master we believe that whenever one black person is making it I don’t care if it’s with a new restaurant I don’t care if it’s in the rap game I don’t care if it’s Sports
And Athletics whenever we see one of us doing well the assumption is nobody else can it breathes the competition it breaths the animosity and it breaths the sabotage there’s enough room for all of us we have to transform our Consciousness from one of scarcity to one of abundance we got to convince
Every black boy and girl in Atlanta and throughout the state of Georgia you don’t have to hate on another brother or sister you don’t have to compete with another brother or sister there’s enough for all of us that’s a powerful statement cuz there is enough money for
Us all to eat the stock market is something I teach and I tell people anybody can get into it anytime we were taught that it was hard to learn and there’s a statement that says 90% of Traders fail and what I tell people is okay let’s just say that statement is
True 10% is a larger number and it takes to be a rapper which is 0.1 then it takes to be a NFL athlete then it takes to be famous this and that that is like 0.1% who can be Lil Wayne Lil Baby TI anybody but everybody’s trying to climb
In and be to 0.1 we got this industry over here that has a 90% failure rate but a 10% success rate and I’m living proof that I actually believe that statement was made when there was miseducation I actually believe 30% are successful now if I had to be honest wow
Because the information is now okay that statement is outdated okay that’s pre-2020 right when we had a chance to sit down and learn yes so why do you think they saying 40% of black people get into it will we be getting into it if it wasn’t working Collective hypnosis negative statistics are
Collective hypnosis most people don’t have the willpower to challenge the statistic you follow what I’m saying exactly which is exactly what you’re saying 90% will fail well guess what who’s to say I’m not in the 10 that will make it but most of us because we lack confidence in areas of
Society where white people have put their fingerprints on and made us believe you can’t make it unless you’re one of us so what you have to do with your example which is why you’re so powerful for the current generation and the future Generations is you have to
Show them I’m one of the 10% and guess what the more of you that we bring in that 10% got to grow let let’s make it 30 okay it is 10 but when I’m done with all y’all we going to be 20 and when you
Bring in the new recruits we going to be 30 let’s break the statistic and rebuild it black Excellence what we’re really talking about is black excellence and one thing I’m going to recommend you consider doing you’re probably already thinking about this is creating a financial literacy curriculum for
Atlanta public schools with you as its director to to train the teachers right and you bring in your own experts to help teach our children financial literacy in grade school if you do that Dropout going to go down special ed going to go down ADHD going to go down
Psychiatric Med going to go down graduation going to go up National Honor side going to go up children enrolled in advanced placement classes is going to go up what’s the biggest problem in public education today it doesn’t appear relevant to the children let you comeing in start showing them this how much
Money I made yesterday this how much money I made in the past year you think they going to miss another day of school do you think they will miss another day of school once you pull out your cell phone and show them look what I made
While I was sleep I didn’t sell crack I didn’t steal cars I didn’t pop weed I didn’t hustle opioids I made this totally legal in my sleep so I’m saying take what we know and weaponize it in order to be a weapon of mass construction we always hear about
Weapons of mass destruction we need Weapons of Mass construction economic Vehicles as solutions to keep our boys and girls from falling into the poverty pipeline or the school to prison pipeline that’s facts but I would like to say this you’re saying my curriculum will help but my curriculum is financial
Literacy the curriculum in school for them to pass a test is math science reading that nothing has to do with money mhm so but remember what I’m saying is they’re going to start achieving greater in the core subjects of math science language and social studies if they know money if they know
They get to learn about the money you see where I’m going you showed up today young blood you fell in all your classes I got a financial literacy class I only come in once or twice a week but guess what in order for you to be taught how
To make money in my class you got to start pass math science language and social studies what you think happens by the end of the week I ain’t going to lie we’ve been Money Motivated since we can remember right like if there was an opportunity for any of us to get money
We would do it absolutely and I do feel like I’m in a position of power as far as financial literacy at a young age I’m 27 I’m trying to attack all this before I’m 30 CU it looks better right absolutely so and of course I need help I need
People who are plugged into the schoolst Sy toook me so I can come speak to these I can’t do it alone I don’t know how to get these connection you get what I’m saying all I bring you to my school when we open so that’s already you know what
I mean and once you hit fdmg it’s a wrap from there you know everywhere so your school to your point so I remember you were getting a lot of backlash on that and I’m glad you you know I’m saying get get into it so when does the school
Officially open I’m glad you asked the question and first I want to let my Atlanta family know as I shared with you off camera the school was almost in Atlanta almost purchased the school a church school indicator and some situations took uh place in my personal
Life that required me to stay close to home we had we was just about to choose a date for the signing to close and I had to rig so we ended up with a school in Wilmington Delaware that we purchased in 2019 so it was it’s been 5 years since
Last month and we just finally getting we just fin finally finished all the major Renovations we have a paint day coming up April of 13th and 14th when we’re going to paint the school in fact just before I came to you I had to send the paint color selection for all the
Classrooms to the paint company so the pain to be ready so that’s what I did right before I came here but to your point the reason it took us 5 years to renovate that elementary school was because of UN UNS scrupulous dishonest unprofessional uh and untrustworthy black contractors that’s the only reason
Why we had the money but how many uh plumbers did I had to go through how many HVAC did I have to go through how many electricians that I had to go through I wanted to keep the work done by all black people because it was black
People who donated to the school so I wanted reciprocal income I wanted to keep that dollar rotating cuz as you wasn’t wrong for that absolutely but that’s the that’s the point I’m trying to make you had to go outside of your white folks and they got the school
Ready in the year Bro I gave the brothers four years we got robbed ripped off you name it gave it to the Caucasians and you still speak out for us got to because understand it’s the mentality that came to us from the slave master see when you
Understand why somebody is sick you no longer get upset with them because I understand you sick you understand so I know I chose psychology to heal my people so although I’m hurt by the by the loss of money and the ripping off and the scams that they ran on me
Although I’m hurt I understand we sick you see so when it’s time for us to renovate the high school across the street I’m going to go right back to black contractors because I know there’s some good ones out there I just got to find them exactly you see the problem is
We’re located in the second smallest state you see what I’m saying I going to ask you that what’s is there black people demographic Wilmington is predominantly black okay in the city of wilington supports me in terms of the community so I get nothing but love in
Wilmington it must be close to like New Jersey New York pH 30 minutes from yeah Wilmington is 15 minutes from Maryland 15 minutes from New Jersey 15 minutes from Pennsylvania 30 minutes from Philly so what I love most about the school one of the things is we’ll be able to
Educate boys from four states they can come from Maryland they can come from Jersey they can come from Philly and of course Delaware will’ll be the only independent black school in the country educating black men from four states not only that once we get both buildings fully renovated we’ll be the largest
Independent black school in the United States can I ask you something sure is it legal to discriminate only black in a school no you cannot you cannot in other words okay so you can have white kids at your school if they apply we have to consider them oh okay if they apply we
Have to consider them and I’m going to be honest with you I’m not against it if a white parent wants to put their child in our school as long as they understand what we teaching we teaching African history we teaching African political science we teaching Pan africanism African spirituality are you sure you
Want him to get that now if you want him to get that come get it but I don’t have a problem having an Asian kid a Latino Kid many of them are African anyway ancestrally I don’t have a problem having an Anglo-Saxon kid in there because I love children my focus and my
Priority is my people but I love children so if you want your child to come and get this so be it I don’t have a problem having a few children of another race in there and one more time what is your most likely projected date for like what what is yours we don’t
Control our destiny in that when we apply for our certificate of occupancy we got to see what the inspectors say from the city when they come through and I’m going be honest with you they not Dr Umar fans so we trying to dot every eye and cross every T because
I believe they never thought we would finish the rennovations now that we have you feel me I’mma stay optimistic but we got to be realistic I believe they going to look for anything they can to delay giving us the certificate of occupancy I would not be surprised if the next time
I see you I tell you we are currently in cour having to sue the city because they are discriminating against us by denying us our certificate of occupance that is why I built in the city of South Fon okay I built my museum there because I could
Have put it in the city of Atlanta I could have put it on the North side I could have put it anywhere but the Mayors and the people in the black wealth is all black and South foron and it’s independent South foron Atlanta so so everything I wanted
South Fon is it a section of Atlanta or is it its own municipality so it’s a city itself yes separate from Atlanta yes okay okay and I first lived there the backstory is I bought a guy named Jason Jeter’s house okay he was TI’s manager okay and everybody lived in in
The house I bought I bought it at 23 for 600,000 uh from uh Jason Jeter um you know Dr Liv in that house Fantasia lived in that house Omar EPS Liv in that house and this girl name me Lee lived in that house it was a house where celebrities
Would live I got you I got you to and he even told me he was like that house is magical whoever lives here money goes up and they leave and it happened to me I bought it and it happened to me I sold it for 900k though okay but it was in
South fton and my next door neighbor was the uh the mayor’s councilman kind of so I say all that to say that is why I’m building there because the stuff I’m able to do gets approved like that because of black political brother see what I’m saying if they are working with you
Don’t leave because you’re an example of what can happen when the city is working with you exactly I’m an example of what can happen when the city don’t want you there yeah have you been to the Smithsonian National African-American Museum in in DC no make sure you go you
And your seen though you’ve seen it I want you to visit it I I will but the reason I’m bringing this up I’ve been a few times and you know that museum was built to a tomb of $500 million LeBron donated Serena donated a lot of black celebrities provided
Matching monies the reason I asked you about the museum is because I’m disappointed in the Smith’s own now when you go there you might say why Dr Umar got a problem with this is Rich with information Rich you know I got a problem with it because it starts in
Slavery and it ends in entertainment so when you go through the tour slavery Civil War reconstruction Jim Crow civil rights and do you know what’s on the top two floors athlete rap and basketball Michael Jordan life-size statue LeBron James big screens of all his dunks Serena Williams big statue Harriet tubin
Ain’t got no statue no disrespect to Serena no disrespect to LeBron no disrespect to Mike who meant more to Black America you three or Harriet tubby we’re Frederick Douglas statue where’s The Honorable Marcus Garvey statue I was insulted because our greats had no statues and here you are worshiping celebrities and
Entertainers here’s the message that it convey days cuz you know everybody going to come to America to visit that museum it looks like there was Jung jungle bunnies in Africa we enslaved them for their own benefit but they didn’t realize it they fought to end the slavery through the Civil War we then
Had to Jim Crow them because they didn’t know how to act they fought against the Jim Crow we gave them civil rights and the minute they got their equality they start making rap music catching basketballs and dunking catching footballs and dunking basketballs no exhibit on the role of black women in
The Struggle No exhibit on the black fraternities and sororities not in the way it should be no exhibit on the true black Freedom Fighters no exhibit on the black inventors now they may have them speckled through the exhibit but I mean a exhibit no exhibit on police brutality
No exhibit on scooter prison pipeline no exhibit on gentrification like the the things the Cornerstone things that we have contributed or have suffered in this country from not accurately covered in that museum so let me ask you this if you had to build an African-American Museum how much do you think you could
Get it done for in your opinion I can’t put the price on it but for $550 million stay with me yeah you don’t end an exhibit a museum with an exhibit on rap and basketball that’s not the last message you give people about who I am
What should be the last message in your opinion the last message for me should probably be the most contemporary issues that we’re facing right now miseducation mass incarceration gentrification police genocide access to wealth or the five major problems excuse me or the five major institutions we need to be
Building black banks give us the history of those black hospitals give us the history of those for example did you know we owned and operated 500 different hospitals in American African history in only 400 years we built more than a hospital a year for 400 years you can hardly find
An independent black hospital now in Philadelphia we used to have mercy Douglas in Atlanta y’all used to have a couple of independent black hospitals where they at show us the history of how they got sabotaged by the white hospitals and put out of business in the government whether you’re dealing with
The banks whether you’re dealing with the hospitals whether you’re dealing with the gas stations whether you’re dealing with the supermarkets or the farming whether you’re dealing with real estate you will always find that the government creates policies that provides Caucasians with a white privilege and that disadvantage
Black people let’s go to the ghetto the federal Housing Authority created the ghettos they gave white people low interest loans loans to move to the suburbs of Atlanta and trapped Us in the hood back when Atlanta was a hood which it no longer is and black people wanted
To become homeowners couldn’t you know why because the federal government said we cannot guarantee a loan in the ghetto and the black people said well you ain’t goingon to let me move out there to the white people neighborhood because of red lining and restrictive covenants so if
You’re going to own a home at that time you had to do it in the hood they would not give out any loans in the hood wouldn’t let you buy a house in the suburb and that’s how the suburb become a suburb and the inner city became a ghetto government policy always follow
The government policy and that shows you how the black community was held in check and the white Community was allowed to flourish white people did not pull themselves up by their bootstraps they were given handouts by the government that allowed them to thrive I realized that when I moved to Kansas and
What part I was in U Manhattan for a little while where K State is and then Johson City near the military B okay Fort Riley you know that area yes sir yes sir yeah so it was some kids that I knew but make a long story short they
Own the form M but they own lots of land and I asked them how black children no white white children okay I asked them how did they get that land and they was like the government gave it to them yeah I’m not and and I was but like it gave
It to their family a long time ago so now they collect intergenerational wealth Equity all free like something they got like for free they got free Farmland they was they was giv free Farmland to white Americans back in the day what was that called again Manifest
Destiny was one policy and there was a few other ones that came after that they’ve always found a way to give white people land that they did not earn guess what’s going on right now about two weeks ago I got an email from a brother
Whose name I cannot call he said Dr Umar I have proof that the government is funding white people to move into predominantly black cities and buy up the real estate I’m supposed to meet with him soon he said I’mma show you in black and white that they’re giving white people money
To go push us out of that’s evident cuz in Atlanta you know I’m are they gy Atlanta what like I’m in a you name it uh you name a hood in Atlanta yeah white people walking dogs you get what I’m saying running riding bikes in a hood
Yeah like riding bikes doing all that and I and and from I went to a real estate project meeting and it’s crazy because my cousin owned a restaurant and there’s what what’s happening right now in Atlanta is billions and billions and billions of dollars are getting put six
It’s a$6 billion doll project happening that don’t nobody know what’s about to happen see I thought they left y’all alone no get worse Atlanta it’s about to get worse I’m going tell you what’s about to happen I cuz I went to the meeting okay it was it was in the uh
Hawk Arena it was on the NBA court flooor we was in Atlanta NBA court I went to a private meeting nothing but white people probably like 300 white people 20 black people including me wow right wow so there’s and then I saw the map I even
Got it on my phone I can show you after this they’re going to what they said was they’re going to bring a lot of advertisement dollars to Atlanta but they’re but what they’re doing is they’re buying up all of the land six billion dollars and his restaurant also
Is affected by that so let me ask you a question yeah because Atlanta has a plethora of black celebrities I’m wondering why or maybe this is in motion maybe you we don’t got enough money to [ __ ] with it six bilon but do we I got you but can we at least
Put up a good fight to keep some of the land in our hands I mean you ty Perry he’s a billionaire you know what I mean so have a lot of they do have a lot of land like jezy fly a lot of people got land and right but what I’m saying is
Are they is there a movement I I hear you is there a movement for them to come together create a united front to try to buy more land not just for themselves but so that our people still have a place to live in Atlanta let me ask you
This let me let me let me caveat off this though Dubai for example the city it was Desert 20 years ago right Las Vegas Las Vegas was a desert yes so what’s stopping us as black people picking some real cheap land and building our own [ __ ] oh nothing at all
You get what I’m trying to say in fact I just brought this up not too long ago there’s about 20 cities for sale in the United States 20 cities the whole city with everything in there post office school fire department police railroad there’s 20 cities available in America
And what I always say black people are some Hypocrites because if we was that serious about building Black Wall Street black excellence and black independence why don’t we put our money together and I would love to see the celebrities do this but it’s not just on them we can do
This I would love to see us put our money together and if you interested I’m willing to collaborate with you on this put our money together purchase one of them cities and build a Black Wall Street five people you have 20 abandoned cities at least the lowest price I’ve seen was about
250,000 already up to maybe $10 million there’s uh one place called Hell Michigan I don’t know if people want to live in a place called hell but there’s Hell Michigan they’re all over the country one in Georgia yeah there’s one in Georgia there’s one in Pennsylvania
Uh they’re all over so if we serious why not do that your own City that means we incorporated that means if we want all black police as all black police we want all black fire it’s all black fire we want all black teachers it’s all black teachers I’m going tell you what’s
Holding this back and it takes it right back to our conversation on economics you know what’s holding us back what that most most black people want proximity to White success more than they want black Independence in other words most of us if we had to choose I can go and live
Amongst a sea of white people who are filthy rich and be one one of one right or I can help build an independent black community that may not be as wealthy as the white Community but we will own it all and it will be ours you know what most Negroes will
Choose to be the only black family in that white neighborhood but I also believe the opportunity is not put forth on a serious note to the table and let me say this too A lot of times we believe that a lot of black people aren’t fighting
For black people and then as I got older I realized most of them just living in their own world just being all the way honest like okay what do you mean by living in their own world okay give me an example I’m doing this I’m doing stocks
I’m doing this this is all I know I was born American this is all I know so I’m living in my own world doing the best you get what I’m saying like I as much as I want to help black people if I don’t have the influence right like and
But I but all my time and energy is into this how can I like who’s you know what I I think it would take for a city like that to be built it would take somebody who has money influence like the Oprah saying I’m moving here I’m going to
Clear this land build a house I’m moving here then you got to put jobs there it’s a African billionaire his name freedom in Ghana he’s building a city in Ghana and I and I want to show you the layout okay he has he’s GNA spend half a
Billion on this right and he’s getting funding from his You Know Rich friends too so but anyways it takes that but he also said it takes providing jobs there because if you don’t have job let’s just say somebody somebody would not only have to put hous in there but money it’ll take
Way more than just let me ask you what the second largest city in America is Chicago Illinois right it was founded by a black man Jean apti Point M if a black man can found the second largest city in America with almost nothing what excuse do we have
Today why do we have to start big let me give you an example right people ask me Dr Umar how many students you going to start with at the Frederick Douglas Marcus gve Academy I’m starting with three grades second third and fourth maybe two classes per grade 20 students a class right From the effects of it what I’m saying is you can live in your own world but tie it back into the freedom struggle for black people we can’t afford to live in our own world because when they come they come for all of us let me give you
A Titanic comparison we all on the Titanic 50 million black people in America the country is the Titanic the boat is sinking but guess what the water is 50 degrees below zero if you’re in that water for five minutes you’re gone right so then you and I say hey everybody
Let’s work together let’s find a way to save everybody we got some ships we got some boats we got some floating metal we’re going to try to make this happen but you know what the people who have no faith in the group you know what they’re
Going to say I’mma do my own thing and guess what happens just like with the real Titanic with the Caucasians most of them died because they were more concerned about saving themselves than saving the group what I’m saying is black people have to come to the
Realization and it’s our job to help get them there that the solution is cooperation not selfishness the reason it’s so easy for White America to pick us apart the way that they do this week I heard about 10 black murders not including the black on black [Applause]
Criers in Alabama a white man drove a sister over in his truck they had the ear lifted to the hospital the police found the white man who did it would not arrest them I done seen about two more lynchin of black men that’s being blamed on suicide
I seen this morning about a black kid being black girl teenager Cape Corral Florida murdered by this white boy we are catching hell we are in a state of emergency and if we don’t have our ears to the ground in our community we won’t always know how serious it is for our
People everything you do everything I do everything those Brothers over there do we got to find a way to tie it back into the people you’re pretty much doing that with teaching your classes you’re pretty much doing that by what I hope to be the creation of a school to keep our CH
Teach our children what you’re doing but you got to tie it back in selfishness is at the root of why it’s so easy for white people to oppress blacks let’s go to the elections coming up Donald Trump Joe Biden it don’t matter who you vote for you’re not
Getting nothing out from either one of them you know why because we are disorganized we will not bring the black vote together and say listen if you want the votes from Black America this is The List of Demands how many can you take care of that’s who’s going to get the
Black vote and if you don’t deliver on your promise the same 50 million black votes that put you in office will take you out in four years organization stokeley carmichel said if you organize a little you get a little done if you organize some you get some done but if
You don’t organize it all you don’t get nothing done Alexander crumel father of pan africanism said we need power in order to get power you got to be organized so do you order to be organized you got to have Unity you think we need more political or
Financial power you need both they are it’s it’s political I don’t believe we could ever ever getting political power in America your financial power automatically translates to political power thank you I believe we focus on finances and we own things just like you said and we’re vertically integrating
Ourselves then we’ll get there no you must still fight for the political power while you’re building the economic political power meaning like try to be president and all that no no no no you’re talking about political positions El that’s irrelevant yeah that’s what I’m trying to say the people who run the
Government are not the people in office let me give you an example let’s take the Rockefellers let’s take the Morgans let’s take the Vanderbilts these are some of the most influential families in American history The Rockefellers were not a political family yeah Nelson Rockefeller was governor of New York but
They were a Oil Company how did they end up with the Council on Foreign Relations how did they end up with the trilateral commission why was the rockefellas uh making decisions for the US government because when you have that amount of wealth you automatically dictate the political agenda of a country what did
Father Rothchild say that’s another family thechild the most powerful European Jewish banking establishment in the history of the world do you know what the father said listen to this quote give me control over a people’s money I care not who makes the law so can I ask you
This what is The List of Demands that we as black people should give to the political powers that says you should get our vote in your opinion great question I’mma give you a few but this list would not be exhaustive number one the percentage of black children in the
Public school automatically equals the percentage of teachers of our race in other words if the schools in Atlanta Georgia have 75% black children the teachers better be 75% black the principals better be 75% black we want student teacher reciprocity in every public school because although I don’t believe every white teacher hates black
Children I do know that a black teacher can teach a black child way better than a white child can because you of their race you see so that’s that’s one thing schools have to change along with that they’re going to put all the industrial Building Trades back into the schools
Because although we do want all of our young people in crypto we want them in stocks but they need to see money to get in there you know where the seed money going to come from being a licensed plumber being a licensed uh welder being a licensed roofer being a licensed um
Electrician a auto mechanic the skills that paid the bills were stripped from our schools back in the 70s and that’s what gave birth to mass incarceration if they never took the industrial building trade training programs out the black high schools we could have never filled
Up the prisons the way that we do so we have to do what you’re doing with the economic science but let’s marry it to the industrial Building Trades back together because when you go around Atlanta you look at a lot of the construction that’s being built it ain’t
Being built by people who look like you and I you know why because we send all our kids to college and we not sending them to the trade school so you see Mexican labor Chinese labor Arab labor where the black men at we told them to
Go to college so now your son or daughter got a $250,000 college degree in Grass Grass grasshopper reproduction or earthworm maintenance that’s how the Hispanics are coming up but build tra but continue with more points on the yeah the list so education because the mother of all violence is miseducation and the father
Of all violence is economic castration now let’s go to the economics on the economic front you have to invest directly into the black community with entrepreneurial dollars and Corporation dollars to help black people realize their own economic dream what I mean by that is this half the
Black homeless people in Atlanta if you gave them $50,000 would never be homeless again that’s how sharp they are that’s how good their vision is whether it’s t-shirts whether it’s real estate whether it’s open up a restaurant whether it’s a bed and breakfast a Airbnb put $50,000 in their hand give
Them an entrepreneurial coach who will help them turn that money into the small business idea they’ll never be homeless again without economic investment into the oppressed it’s going to be be difficult to lift us up stop putting money into poverty Pro this is what the government does they’ll come to Atlanta
They’ll come to Albany they’ll come to Savannah they’ll come to where my people are from We’re from Blakeley Georgia by the way this is the uh state of my paternal ancestors and they’ll put a whole bunch of poverty programs in your city we got a program for the drug
Addicts we got a program for the opioid users we got a program for the single mothers we got a program for the ex-offenders we got a program for the homeless you’re investing in poverty the hell with them poverty programs that’s nothing but poverty pimping take that
Money you was going to give to them and put it in their hand for a business it’s the same thing I said to LeBron and Oprah LeBron and Oprah y’all have done a good job putting all these black children through college right but you know what the the contradiction is
College doesn’t equal employment for black children there’s a article that just came out what was a Time Magazine last week 60% of Americans regardless of race are working in a profession that has absolutely nothing to do with their college degree so Oprah in Lebron if you’re putting out a quarter of a
Million dollars to give my two daughters a college degree that they’re not going to be do nothing with that’s a waste of money don’t give them 250 for no white school put it in their hand with an entrepreneurial coach that will help them realize their business idea that’s
What we need we need economic Revolution to your point we gotta stop begging for rights we don’t need rights we need resources we keep on begging to participate forget participating with white folks we should be fighting for money and resources not permission to be next to white people but we keep on
Doing that you see it oh this is the first black CEO of such and such he’s the first senior vice president of such and such she’s the F that ain’t doing nothing for us that’s another token [ __ ] who will be fired in 10 or 20 years after they sucked out every drop of
Knowledge cuz the only reason why they give you that job they going to come to you they gonna come to you soon they gonna say brother Aristotle we would like for you to be the CEO of this Fortune 500 we gonna pay you a half million dollar a year you’ll say oh [ __ ]
I’m Tak low money but but stay with me hell they go up with you but here’s the here’s the point even if they offer you a million here’s the point they’re only bringing you in there to learn everything you know Master what you doing that they ain’t
Mastered in a minute they Master it you get laid off and then you go back to what you was doing it ain’t no Market left you gave them everything and they en cornered your Market black what did I say earlier would rather be around white folks than Corner our own markets what
Are you doing over here as they CEO what are you doing over here as they lead counsel what are you doing over here as they vice president they’re only using you for your intelligence in the IND industry once they get it you’re gone if it ain’t all black I don’t want
No parts of it that was game if you go do your research on Walmart and Netflix and all these white Mega Corps they didn’t get their money from Wells Fargo Chase Manhattan they got it from rich white folks so to your point we don’t have that’s what that too they invest in
Each other we don’t have a black Venture Capital hey let’s put our money together and help black people succeed they’re going to like for instance that’s what we need bingo we need Shaq we need everybody to come together and say like damn they’ll Shark Tank this [ __ ] right you get what I’m
Saying like and but don’t scapegoat the celebrities though and what I mean by that none of our struggles did the celebrities play a big part in them yeah you’re right we celebrities instead of Shaq you look at Shaq it would be easy if we have Shaq Shaq is coed out Shaq
Ain’t helping us and I love Shaq Shaq is a Negro pin here’s the point that I’m making I can’t believe I used to have Barkley poster on my wall as a kid that negro is a Negro P but here’s what I’m saying look at look at Shaq’s income right I
Would say how many black people equal Shaq income because we ain’t getting Shaq you could forget it Shaq is ain’t he ain’t he a sheriff in Georgia somewhere Shaq is a sheriff in Georgia love the police we’ll deal with that later but listen I would say how many
Black people income equal Shack you say we need 50 people to equal Shack they get your 50 people how many black people equal Oprah you going to need a whole lot more she the richest woman in the history of the North American continent but my point is if you’re waiting on the
Celebrities we never get there bro get you every day I’d rather have a million workers than 10 celebrities they’re not coming they are corporate property so what we so what you’re saying is Grassroots dollas but here’s the thing too and not call not to call budy out
But we saw somebody who create J Morris okay we saw somebody say hey black people bring your small money to me uhhuh I’m going to help you guys invested okay all right so now if we try that again now we he named it after Black Wall Street yes he did right so
And that’s not any shade but what I’m saying is what is the state of it now and I’m only asking because I don’t follow I don’t know but from what I’m seeing online is it is down to his last that $11 million is gone has he admitted
To it yes okay from what and and I don’t know what exactly going on what I’m saying is not hasn’t suceeded correct okay and the only reason why I asked that because you know people accuse me of stealing the school money okay and the reason I really don’t feed into it
Because you’re going to see that school open so I ain’t got to say you feel me we have to finish so I’m good they all GNA have to eat their words and then they never coming into the school exactly you know what I’m saying you got
To succeed at what you do you got to succeed but what I’m saying is I say all that to say we need you’re right you too because I’m going to say with your knowledge in investing right in the interest of the community right did you ever request to sit down with
Jay and say look bro you came to Atlanta I’m born and raised real estate stocks okay you get what I’m saying like it’s a whole difference okay okay and yeah and on top of that because I really feel people in the know should approach anybody thank you
You feel me and say let’s have a you know and what I’m doing I’m surrounded by Educators I’m an educator you see what I’m saying so I have we got to put the people who know what they’re doing in positions but we also got to
Make sure he don’t know what he doing I don’t know but because I saw the way in which I was attacked online and it was completely FR frivolous allegations we do got to make sure that this is J that this just isn’t a smear campaign against jar I’m
My point is we as black people seen that before okay okay okay we have had things like that fail in our faces thank you okay we have had that and I’m not saying he’s a failure I’m just saying allegedly that’s what they’re saying yeah allegedly I’m not saying that I would
Never accuse a brother after what I’ve been through yeah so it’s like what we got to do is figure out who’s good at this but also too they got to be independent cuz you’re right if they all up under the they asses you know the white folks ass they not going take you
Out they’re going to take you out well if their income comes from that then whatever we’re trying to do they’re not going to be want to be a part of because of brand sponsorship this that course you saw what LeBron just did the other day and I love LeBron as a role model
For our children black children black wife never been in trouble perfect but LeBron you GNA start a podcast with JJ redish you’re the most prominent black celebrity who’s still active and you going to pull a white man in and do a podcast and you know LeBron podcast is
Going to make so much money and Garner so much status you could have got you could have got Carmelo D Wayne Wade you could have got any retired black basketball player you could have went to the college hoops you could have got somebody from one of
The universities you mean to tell me you had a chance to empower a black person because you don’t need no credentials to start a podcast you no experience to start a podcast JJ reck no disrespect to him but my brother you black why not use that opportunity to empower one of your
Own and those are the opportunities that I think a lot of our celebrities let go to waste by trying to prove to white people that this but can I but can I say this he empowered Rich Paul he empowered the guys who he went to all his those
Were his friends from childhood right but he Community black men did but that’s not an investment in the got black wife black children that’s personal I’m talking about the immunity in other words that’s like Dr Umar go out here and I build a school and I
Build a black wal and I build a bank build and then I go marry a white girl oh but he built the school I don’t give a damn let this 360 Dee Blackness all day every day no breaks we can’t take no breaks okay but let me let me let me say
This to to just to caveat out that because I I do hear your point but some men think from an analytical standpoint so hear me out let me finish my point go ahead LeBron is a black man J J reic is a white man white people play basketball
Too so is it possible that we can get money with these folks and then still send it home you get what I’m saying because I don’t see nothing wrong with doing business with white people right and then still going to help out your people he still got to go home JJ Ric
Not on LeBron James’s level he ain’t won no title he ain’t been in no finals he ain’t got no record it’s not like he’s meeting somebody on the same stature let’s say if he said I’m going to do this with Bill Gates that’s different cuz it’s Bill Gates at least you’re
Going up you went down but he’s still a white man who will attract white audiences LeBron James don’t need JJ reic Crow he’s LeBron James I know I know I know I know but I don’t see nothing wrong with diversifying and still getting your money and taking okay
You want to diversify go get you a Canadian African you want to diversify go get you a Caribbean African you want to diversify go get your Continental African JJ reic didn’t earn that but what I’m saying is you going down on the food chain all right hear me out
Though this is why this is why I say this I have a company right and I it’s blackowned but I don’t sport his blackowned that’s strategy I’m cool with that strategy that’s strategy if you told me Dr I got a white person to front my business I’m cool with that that’s
Strategy I got three white boys work with me yeah an Indian and an African so he’s from Nigeria African is us that’s family but yeah yeah right and I’m the only African-American on my team beside but he’s on my team are you the owner my team yes as long as you’re the owner
Because what LeBron James is the owner of that podcast and and he’s employing they’re doing it together no no no no that’s a co-venture listen that’s a co-venture but who gets the majority stake LeBron James doing JJ reck a podcast with JJ reck is a welfare check the white
People that’s a welfare check the wife he ain’t got no business now if he said I’m going to do it with Larry Bird Larry Bird is one of the greatest according to them JJ reic bro you went all the way down the food chain but we are in
America are we not so what the Chinese in America when the last time they hired a black person to make some shrimp fried rice listen my wife is black my kids is black right yes but I have no problem with doing business with white people to
Bring money home to help my people Le don’t need JJ ready to bring no money home he don’t but what I I understand but diversifying the I don’t see I don’t see nothing wrong with diversifying Brands because you never know let’s just say what all right you think LeBron
James needs to diversify no you how many white folks love he’s the most Global black athlete in the world what can JJ reick do for LeBron James’s PR come on all right all right so so now it’s time for me to get to know you yes
Sir yes sir yes sir so I want you to walk me through how was your upbringing from elementary to 12th grade okay uh I was born in north central Philadelphia uh same neighborhood as Bill Cosby um Jill Scott Meek Mill you know we are from North Philly uh although I
Went to middle school in West Philly and I believe Will Smith’s mother might have been the secretary at least it was rumored she was the secretary at junior high school but anyhow uh my parents were married we moved to North Carolina I decided that I wanted to be a
Psychologist while we were in North Carolina and I decided on psychology because I didn’t have an older brother I’m the oldest of five boys hold on hold on Elementary School you lived in Philadelphia North Philly Middle School you lived no no no Elementary School I moved to North Carolina you moved to
North Carolina elementary schol I was there for maybe two years and then Middle School moved back to North Philly after my parents divorce you feel graduate from Meet Elementary I go to West Philly for Bieber Junior High because I was one of the smart kids so I
Went out there my father thought I was a mama’s boy so he sent me out to the Scotland school for veterans children in Chambersburg Pennsylvania for high school residential jroc school uniforms drilling physical training in the morning training camp and Camp leun North Carolina you feel me Pro military right
The Consciousness that I got in elementary school never left me same here so when I got to the high school they wanted to throw me out because I didn’t pledge the flag but they couldn’t because Scotland school was publicly funded why did you decide not to place
That flag well for my father it was religious cuz I was raised Sunni Orthodox Islam by my father so the religion dictated you don’t pledge to anything but the most high right politically I didn’t do it cuz I was a pan afist so they wanted to throw me out
To the state you were still sporting the pro Blackness through middle and high school talk to anybody who know me talk to anybody who know me so when I graduate from Scotland school I go to Millersville University lanc County PA uh Tyreek from The Roots he went to
Millersville so at Millersville I join a black student union I get elected to black student union president my first senior year I was there for five My First Act of office was Minister faron’s first Million Man March October 16th 1995 MH then after that senior year we
Had a big concert to ow a scholarship for black children Allan Coleman scholarship named after the first president of the BSU and after a sister who lost to life and we had Jay-Z and kis one that was May 5th or April 5th 1997 me and Jay-Z almost got into a
Fight backstage because his crew kept pulling girls back and krs1 was the main act hard not like one was just about to drop or just Dro and his team kept pulling girls backstage and ks1 said I’m not coming out unless it’s clear so I’m telling Jay-Z you got to stop because if
You keep doing this KRS not coming out then the school security who didn’t want us to have the concert anyway they said if it get too crowded back here we gonna shut this whole thing down so I’m telling Jay-Z and beehive his homie y’all gotta stop y’all messing my
Concert up y’all were how old at this time 19 Jay-Z is uh probably about 26 and I can’t find a picture I got a picture of me and Carter and I can’t I want to post this picture so bad so people can see that the king of Hip Hop and the
King of black Consciousness met in an Old Farm Town like it’s the PA how many years ago so anyway I graduate from Millersville I join the Garvey movement now this is how I know my work is from the ancestors that Elementary School Black History Class M three black away

Buy some sneakers and they painted red black and green and there’s a picture of Marcus Garvey in the window one the elders come around the corner if he doesn’t come around that corner that day if they don’t paint that building red black and green I can never ask him what
Are y’all doing here he said this the Marcus Garvey movement you and IA you need to come back Sunday at 3 I went back Sunday at 3: I ain’t never left right around the corner from the elementary school which is my introduction to Black if if my parents
Don’t divorce this is how life works not just for me but for all of us right there’s a hidden hand in a lot of this half of your life is your creation the other half of your life was created in heaven before you got here if my parents
Don’t divorce if my mother don’t move back to North Philly if I don’t go to that school if she don’t buy my sneakers at that store you may not be sitting here right now see I’m a a practition of epha the Europe of spirituality out of Nigeria right but all African spirituality has
More in common than it has you know in opposition we believe that in heaven before you come to Earth you negotiate a purpose you have a purpose on this Earth that was signed off on by God before you came your job is to find and fulfill
Your purpose your purpose may be to be the great financial problem solver for Black America it could be something completely different the problem is we got to make sure we find our purpose people always ask me how do you keep going with some of the hate you get
First of all I get way more love than hate that’s number one exactly but number two I know I’m walking my purpose I don’t think it’s a coincidence I was Rel I’m related to Frederick Douglas I left that out so fourth and fifth grade was black history sixth grade my father
Takes me to my first family reunion Baltimore Maryland we walking in the back of the family reunion I see Frederick Douglas hat Frederick Douglas shoes Frederick Douglas Bible I said why is uh Frederick Douglas stuff he said you’re related to him my mouth dropped I said what that’s hard I Shar blood with
Frederick Douglas so it turns out that Frederick Douglas’s mother and my five times great-grandmother were sisters and I know there’s a freder Douglas High School in Baltimore everywhere every city got a Frederick there a Frederick and a Martin Luther King you want to know what’s parallel to this
Though I went to a school called Heritage Academy in the elementary school Charter or public it was public okay and um it was a teacher her name was Miss Patterson and I never forget this woman she had a Erica by dud Lauren Hill Mi to heroo she was a real Pro
Black dreads and what grade was you in I was in the fifth grade she touched to this day I’m touched by this woman yes sir um this woman was powerful she uh had us creating music to learn I still remember the son to this day I still know my adjective nouns spark Parts
Speech to this day because of her wow on her wall it was black kings and queens it was it was everything she had sage burning wo like everything when I was inh Heritage Academy incense all that power and our we took black history to the Next Level I still remember all the
Black inventors from fifth grade Charles Drew blood transfusion G Morgan uh traffic light gas maskk gas maskk um J Mex got a shoe machine shoe machine we we did the uh air conditioning we did the door knob we did refrigerated truck refrigerator we did the super soer the
Sell your phone we did I learned all that in fifth grade black man with a patent on the airplane too before Brothers had and he was asleep did I mention air conditioning did I mention ice cream the golf tea yep um yeah so much the door stop the ironing board the
Light bul light oh uh lore Louis and then Pat yeah he was bad yeah so um was I learned all that in fifth grade from Miss Patterson black Excellence so and you know we invented most of that stuff before we sat next to white kids in the classroom exactly see when they
Desegregated the public schools I don’t know if you notice some of our leaders didn’t agree with it web de boy and I think he Lov white folks but guess what he was against School desegregation zor n Hurston she was against public school desegregation Booker T and Dey we de boy
We had to do the debate between and we had to act out the debate I can’t remember what the debate was about can you inform me on that yes the main difference and I’m only bringing this up because it’s still relevant web Deb boy thought the priority should be to fight for political
Equality and social equality Booker T Washington said you will never get political and social equality until you get economic empowerment your message my message Booker T said stop begging these white people to accept us and treat us Fair because once we build ourself up economically they will have no choice
You know who prove Booker te right all the immigrants you see in America when the Chinese come here do they really care going to be the next president when the Arabs open up the gas station do they really care who going to be the next president when the East Indians
Open up another hotel another Dunkin Donuts do they care who going to be the next president because what did Roth’s child say give me control over people’s money do you think any immigrant business in the black community in Atlanta care who your next mayor going
To be you think they care less who the next mayor going to be no because I own the gas you still come to me for the gas you still come to me for the hotel tell you still come to me for your dunky Donuts in the morning it don’t matter
Who gets elected and that’s what black people don’t understand we keep trying to Trump Biden Trump Biden it don’t matter until you get your economics together and your Unity I just said that this morning I was like I don’t care who get selected as long as I long as I get
Me some money and all I don’t care about that did you ever vote I vote I do but I only vote when I feel I have a reason to vote you voted for Obama no I didn’t vote at all in that election I didn’t feel there was
Anything for him in thate Obama is a token and who was he going against uh Mitt Romney right Mitt Romney is and he’s a white supremist white supremist flunky versus white supremist what’s my options I believe the black vote is important but for me my vote is too
Valuable I don’t just give my vote because I can that’s like you walking into a store and taking out all the money in your pocket and put it on the table are you going to buy anything here it don’t matter the store open I got to
Give him some money that’s what we do on Election Day what is on the table for black people this November nothing so why are you voting because my ancestors died for me to vote no they didn’t your ancestors died for you to be free voting was the strategy they used to get you
There voting is a tactic it’s a strategy it’s not a way of life black people turned it into a damn way of life and the reason why black people vote so much is how we as swad our Consciousness because we not going to do nothing else
For our El except vote and pray how do you feel like religion holds back black people economic in a big way religion gives black people an artificial security blanket that says even if you do nothing because you believe in Christ even if you do nothing because you believe in Muhammad iban Abdullah even
If you do nothing because you believe in Moses and his tah because you believe in nothing excuse me although you’re not doing anything for yourself because you believe in this God will solve your problems for you we have the most debilitating religious foundation in America because nobody else’s religion
Teaches them that God is going to solve their racial problems the only people who believe that is black folks and that’s why Napoleon bonapart and I’m no fan of Napoleon who lost to Tanta Overture and johnj desalin in the Haitian revolution of 179 Napoleon the white man’s greatest
Military general what did he say about religion quote religion is what keeps the poor man from killing the rich one religion is what keeps the poor man from killing the rich one do you know how crazy it would be on these streets right now if it wasn’t for religion why you
Think they don’t make the churches pay no taxes the white man love religion he probably out there building a new church for you right now with some chicken wings and some Kool-Aid yeah yeah it’s some sweet potato pie black people care man you said a bar and I’m not against
Religion most of my pan-african forefathers they were pastors Marcus Garvey was a devout Christian Bishop Turner who’s buried in the same Cemetery with Dr King’s mother and father the first black man to say God was black he was a pastor Alexander keml was a pastor Harry Hen Garnett was a pastor most of
My panafrican and his forefathers were pastors but they believed in Black excellence and black struggle today these pastors sell our people Pie in the Sky you ain’t got to do nothing but pray and give me a couple dollars and all will be well and we believe it they say attendance is going
Down in the black church what is your theory on why well number one the black church does nothing for black men what is our number one responsibility to provide why am I going to church for church Bible study choir what am I getting out of this the
Pastor is getting everything he get all the women all the money and all the women I’m in here broke no job no house the black man really doesn’t have a purpose for church unless he already got it going on most of the men you see go
To church they already got it going on brothers who struggle they ain’t got time for church they got to feed their kids so my thing is not the religion but the way it’s taught if somebody’s going to come with a black power theology I’ll join your church you going to come with
A black power theology I’ll join your Hebrew Temple you’re going to come with a black power theology I’ll join your is Islamic mid but if you telling our people to wait for God to come and solve their problems while we wasting $2 billion on Air Jordans every year 4
Billion on liquor every year $30 billion on hair and beauty every year you know we buy three times the amount of mercedes-benzes as Caucasians and we don’t even have onethird of the wealth of white folks why do black people have more Mercedes than white people and you ain’t
Even got a third of their money because Negroes love status symbols and we love to look rich even if we are not and that’s one of the reasons why I didn’t buy a new car until my 1995 GMC Jimmy died on 95 South say you a whole psychologist why you ain’t got no
New car yet for what who I got to prove something to and I got that engine replaced I got the trans replaced and then one day driving back from speaking in coltsville Pennsylvania back home to Philly my engine died and she would not wake back up I tried to give her mouth
To mouth I was pushing CH and my Jimmy died and that’s when I had to buy a new car because I one of the best things we can do for our children is to liberate them from compulsive spending and the need to have in order to feel they are
Somebody one of the reasons why I said your economic programs can be tied to so many solutions in our community is our children in Black America let’s take Atlanta in Atlanta y’all got a lot of successful blacks so children see these successful blacks with all kind of successful status symbols right but can
I ask you a question if I’m being raised to believe I need Air Jordans I need a Ben I need a big house I need a Louis Baton bag I need a $500 weave on my head to be somebody but y’all don’t make me go to school y’all don’t check my
Homework y’all don’t make me enroll in the series classes all you do is push football basketball and music in the community you’re telling me I need this to be somebody but you’re not giving me the skills to become that so what happens when I graduate and don’t have
The skills to earn legally all the stuff that brother Aristotle earns I’m G have to break the law I’mma have to become a criminal the point that I’m making is I believe black America is guilty of creating criminals because we’re not raising our children the way they need
To be raised to legally get the things we tell them they need to be somebody that’s why they out here killing each other you’re right and somebody said a statistic where uh with to your point mm we’re literally coming out of high school trying to get a white man’s job
We don’t even employ each other so we have to create jobs for each other that’s the main problem too because we don’t have a direct pipeline to get it like the the Asian folks they we have no pipelines yeah we don’t yeah no pipelin because we have no infrastructure and
The reason we have no infrastructure is number one we hate each other and we don’t trust each other lack of trust is former self-hate by the way that’s number one number two if I don’t trust my father chances are I don’t like my father you see that number two most of
Us want what proximity to White success listen let me ask you a question Shaquille O’Neil is very wealthy Oprah is very wealthy Tyler Perry is very wealthy Shawn puffy Colmes whether he did it or not I don’t know he’s very wealthy Serena Williams is very wealthy Tiger Woods is very wealthy LeBron James
Is very wealthy Bob Johnson is very wealthy I’m giving you how black billion is Rihanna who I met when I spoke in was it Barbados a few weeks ago I met Rihanna’s father Rihanna very wealthy here’s my question JZ Beyonce very wealthy and they do do some things
Sometimes so I want to give him a little bit of shout out there why these black billionaires have more money than they can ever spend and still won’t do anything for black people wow not only is it selfishness not only is a fear of Retribution by the white
Power structure but do you know what the third reason is Oprah don’t want to lose her access to White Society Tiger Woods don’t want to lose his access Tyler Perry don’t want to lose his access to White Society if they see me helping black people you think
I’mma get invited to the private Rich parties anymore you think I’m G get invited to the private Rich Retreats they love access to White Society it’s the validation they feel they need in order to feel like they’ve made it in this world no different than a black man
Marrying a white woman is a status symbol that he needs in order to feel equal to the Caucasian M that’s facts that’s facts I do agree with that but I also want to play Devil’s Advocate and say what if these people actually do not have a plan for black people like what
If oh they you get what I’m trying to say like they have the money but they don’t they don’t have the financial or game plan or comfortable I don’t care about black people and I don’t want to lose my invisible ticket to access to White Society that’s facts but I I do
Also think that’s true and I also think if you had a six point they might not know exactly to do I won’t say Oprah don’t Oprah and Tyler probably do no so what do what is the plan first of all what is the plan I’m sure listen to me
On a regular basis no that’s facts but what I’m saying is if they all put if they all put let’s just say they say okay we listen to y’all black people y’all say we don’t do that we got $2 billion what what should we do with this
To help black people what did I tell little yach right here in Atlanta a few weeks ago on this podcast I said yachty you successful take your money and open up a small Bank you can start a bank with a quarter of a million open up a small
Bank only for black children you got to be under 30 to have an account in my bank and guess what I’m gonna do I’m going to loan you the money to start your own business and then you’re going to pay me back so I’m not even losing no
Equity you see that I’m investing in you you pay me back and then I’m take the payback money and help another young black child open a bank I said little yachty if you do that bro you’ll go down in history as one of the most influential black economic Minds we ever
Produced that’s all it takes they don’t have to do much like what I say about the uh paying for their education Oprah in Lebron stop paying for the damn College put that money in a hand to open up a business and just get a couple business coaches you won coach this boy
Want to open up a corner store Aristotle I’mma pay you or they gonna pay you to make sure his Corner Store finally open and operate her restaurant his dry cleaners you know his delivery business his Airbnb that don’t take much they don’t care and they don’t want white people to
Think they care about black folks rich black people cannot afford for white people to think they care about black folks tiger was basically white dog why you say that Consciousness yes biologically he’s a black man that’s what I’m saying most of is eurocentric most of European Consciousness damn most of them European
Consciousness okay so let’s get out topic have you ever been in love I’ve been in love several times uh there was if I could go back in time I blew up in Black Consciousness in September 18th of 2010 the anniversary of Booker T Washington’s Atlanta cotton Exposition speech 1895
With a public access television interview in Chicago five weeks later I’m speaking at the national black theater in Harlem few blocks away from where margus Marcus Garvey became a legend and Malcolm X those two events in the two largest black cities in America was the foundation upon which I
Became the prince of pan africanism and King Kong Consciousness if I knew I would become as big as I am that I would become as big as I am back in 2010 when this process began I would have married either Kim or Sabrina or Tamila you sound like py Pablo right now or
Wendy or Andrea those are the five women I’ve dated after college before I blew up who I believe could have made an excellent wife you feel me all right and if the ancestors would have came to me and said you’re about to go to a whole another level you’re going to become the
Biggest voice for black Consciousness in the world not just the United States on the planet if I would have knew that I would have wied up one of them now would they have been able to handle this I don’t know because they were not necessarily as conscious as I am but but
Neither was ketta or Betty when they first met Malcolm you feel me right so I don’t know if they could have handled it me being away as much as I am or was but I would have married one I’m saying all that to say the reason I’m single at this point
Is because as I said earlier I need a woman who’s coming to me to help me to be a helpmate for the mission I have to rescue my people from Eternal oppression at the hands of the white power structure I don’t need a woman coming to me because she just
Wants to benefit from my status in society or my prominence in social media and I attract a lot of that kind I don’t get the Winnie mandelas the Betty shabazz’s the Amy Garvey the Anna douglases the ketta Scott Kings the mly just want clout in your opinion A lot of
Them come for clout not all I do know some good sisters and I’m studying Queens because how I’m going to have a school for boys without a wife if I’m telling them to love and honor black women how the hell can I do that without a wife however I’ve also been told
Through spiritual divination that I should not be woring about selecting a wife right now I’m to focus on getting the school open once the school is open the wife will come that’s what I’ve been told through divination I think you I think that’s a great idea yes sir so but
I’mma have two wives though the not one two wives that’s dope so when was a lot of us as black men claim to be monogamous and we’re not and we got to be more honest with our women that’s right you feel me so my thing is be
Honest give her a chance to make a decision and let her decide if want if you honest a lot of them will take it because the alternative ain’t that good and most men in the world have never been monog monogamy is one of the biggest urban legends ever white men
Aren’t monogamous Asian men who monog Ain no monogamy so my thing is for me and who I’m going to be I’m gonna be honest I’mma have two not two three four five I’m not cheating when I get married I’m not getting divorced but I’m going
To have two and your ass is going to be working we got to race to save this ain’t no just show up to the events on my arm this ain’t no damn Grammy’s marriage your ass going to be in the trenches working you going to earn that
Wifey status when they say queen Kong Consciousness your ass going to earn that you might got to go for my brother we got good American African sisters to but that’s willing to do the two wise thing I have to go for my brother see here’s the thing a lot of us
And they already done been 30 years into the American society and graving their head on monog and Christian marriages and all that here’s what I found it’s not that black women won’t you know what I found they don’t want to admit they’re doing poy yeah that’s true
You know how many black women are dating married men if you are against plural marriage why is your boyfriend married see that there’s a contradiction so it’s not that they against sharing they’re against having to admit they share I think that’s the that’s the that’s what it is they don’t want the
The public shame but then everybody black women have created a narrative that says if you’re part of a plural family you’re weak and as Queen Mother Shahar Ali would say that’s why so many of our women are dying lonely and by themselves because they are afraid to go against the sisterhood’s opinion that
Plural marriage means you got low self-esteem no plural marriage means you are making a wise and conscientious decision to survive with a mate that’s what it means okay let’s talk about it then how financially stable should a man be to have two women in your honestly
That’s going to depend on the goals that him and his wife to be or wives to be half of that family what are the goals now don’t get me wrong no romance no Finance especially if you’re going to have more than one household or more than one Queen so you better have your
Your money lined up you shouldn’t even be thinking polygyny if you can’t afford to take care thank you so if a dude is going 5050 with these women then he shouldn’t be thinking that I don’t think he should that’s any man who’s expecting his woman to pay half of everything
Which by the way I think is one of the weakest New Age compromises that black men are demanding I’ve never had a woman pay for a date my whole life me either I’ve never had a woman pay for a date because as a man even when I was
Struggling I didn’t have a woman pay for a date right because I just believe as a man that’s something you do so when I hear these brothers say she got to pay for half even on the first date damn you making a sister pay half that that
Is some weak ass [ __ ] now some sisters demand it though because part of the new radical black feminist movement they don’t want men to ever think they need them so some sisters are so paranoid in proving their independence that they won’t let you pay for the meal cuz I got
To show you I can handle my that’s the disconnect too and to your point they do have to have their finances together I always tell guys that and yeah 50-50 to me is doesn’t make sense a woman can’t submit to you if you can’t if she can’t stay at
Home while pregnant I agree you get what I’m saying you can’t even take get her off her feet while she pregnant I agree she doesn’t deserve to submit to you yet though you can get there you get I ain’t saying nothing wrong with that men go through situations and everything but
What I’m saying is you do got to get to that point and it is up to the leadership the people like myself and like I said challenge you to to step into more into our lane as well and get to know the people who actually know what they’re doing in finance I know
Some I know I know quite a few you one of the first I met in Atlanta but I got a couple folks here and there who really know what they doing and I’m really trying to um increase my knowledge of the sector because once we get the school open
Brother we gonna be having every kind of conference you can think of you know what I mean I want the stock and trading conference where you come with a whole 100 of y’all and y’all teach the youth how to do this thing right there the whole weekend boot camp you going to
Learn how to trade stocks before you leave here so you want to know what I’ve been doing I take 10,000 cash of my own money I’ll invite a hundred young men in Atlanta to come learn but I partner with this uh this group called Next Level
Boys Academy his name is Gary Davis and what he does is he go plead to the judge on the south side of Atlanta to reduce sentences of the young men and say hey if I put them through my program he ple to the judge to reduce the sentences so
I would send money to them to free the young men I would send money to them and then I would uh get them together and pay them to come learn so my next movement is going to be to do that again and you know Pro of course Pro promote
It and Market it and say all right everybody who in the financial space because I got that type of power I can say look I need 5,000 from you 5,000 from you every $10000 going to I like it I like get to a young so you know saying
Even if whoever you are I’m putting up my 10 wherever you are put up put up five put up two 2500 something sponsor 25 kids every hundred go to a kid and we’re going to not only show them how to invest at 100 okay but we’re going to
Teach them the stock market we’re going to teach them all types of things you get what I’m saying I love it I love it and then I want you to marry your process and program to other brothers who have some niches that you may not have or who have your
Same Niche because we’re going to need volume right right and then once you marry all these programs together we now have a what a system and now we have an infrastructure to take these children from A to Z with economics you’re going to learn real estate from him you’re
Going to learn crypto from him you’re going to learn a stock market from him you’re going to learn uh uh business planning from him you see this you going to get your startup money from him and now that you have this system this infrastructure to take every black boy
In Atlanta from A to Z and our princesses as well because we don’t want to leave them out now it’s time to talk about building an institution where are we going to house this system at you feel me do we get a big highrise downtown do we put it you feel me you
Need them institutions because institutions are what hold the community up systems infrastructure institutions we’re missing we’re missing that in the black community yes I’m hearing we have black financial literacy program programs but why no systems it’s not systemati I’m hearing about it but see the effects of it cuz we’re not collaborating yeah
That’s what happens is once you start making enough money I’m straight you feel me and we just fall back I’m good we look at ourselves and we look at our family because we don’t see our community as our extended family the biggest difference between American Africans Asians Arabs Latinos East Indians European Jews
Caucasians European Jews they have their internal differences but they still see members of their Community as their extended family Chinese if a Chinese man is hungry he could be hungry you think he coming to your soul food restaurant he might love chicken and I know they
Love chicken because I was in China they they eat more chicken than us he wants some fried chicken he ain’t coming to you he gonna wait till he get off work and he gonna go to a Chinese store because he can afford for you to take a
Dollar that a Chinese person might need because in their community their fellow citizens are members of their extended family our family stops with our blood relatives and sometimes they don’t even go to our blood relatives it might just extend to our kids and we might say the hell with my
Brothers and sisters my nieces my nephews my cousin you follow what I’m saying we don’t have an extended family frame of identity Charleston white said this you know who that is yeah all right so I I actually interviewed him uh last week okay and he said something uh in a previous
Interview he said said when we desegregated we rushed to go eat spaghetti at their restaurants we rushed to go everywhere where they were they didn’t rush to come to eat our stuff they didn’t rush to come buy our stuff so he’s saying like desegregation put us
In the mindset just like you said their ice is better their this is better well the mindset was there before the desegregation the reason why segregation worked for Black America the reason why you had a black wall Street in Tulsa Charleston Rosewood Wilmington Durham and all these other places is because
White people did not allow you access to their society if you didn’t grow your own food you’re not gonna eat if you don’t build your own Supermarket you’re not GNA have no groceries if you don’t open up your own hotel you’re going to sleep on the
Street do you feel me do you know that before the Civil Rights bill or act if you got caught in a city that didn’t have a black Hotel do you know where many of us slept at we slept in the uh the funeral homes black people used to sleep imagine
That imagine that no matter how much money you got because white supremacy ain’t about money they could care less that’s another thing we need to understand but you and your beautiful wife will be sleeping in a blackowned funeral home next to dead bodies because no white person will let you there why
Am I bringing this up the reason Black Wall Street work is because white people Den not has access the minute they said you can come and be with your master all the black doctors sto working at the black hospitals and start working for the white ones all the black professors
Ran from the HBCU and ran to the pwi all the black lawyers closed up their firm and took a job with the white firms we couldn’t wait to get around white folks yes and then we try to blame Dr King and I gotta make sure I visit Dr
King Grave because I don’t like to come to Atlanta without visiting Dr King G because I believe Dr King was the last great leader we had to give us a series ious program of political economic and social reform and he from Atlanta I’m trying to say so we from Atlanta but he
Went to college in chesta Pennsylvania at the cro theological he went more house too he did and he came to PA too he got and while he was in PA that’s when he met uh Bill Gray he used to hang Dr King used to hang out up the street
From the house I lived in when I went to that black history class and he also met kwami and kruma who was the Liberator of Ghana the first president who used to hang out up the street from where I was and Harriet tub used to take Ridge Avenue doing an underground railroad
Which is right up the street from where I lived at as well so I’m saying I had all that ancestor power right right there in the hood you have no idea of what ancestors came before you right where you sleep at black people don’t even know what happened in that ghetto
They living in 200 years ago you feel me but let me get to let me close with this point on on on the dror king situation black people try to make Dr King of scapegoat for why we don’t have any systems and infrastructure and institutions because we don’t want to
Admit we love white people and think that ice is still colder We Believe white ice is colder we still do your generation does my generation does I disagree let me explain why I disagree we’re y’all spend more money with white folks than we who
Let me no no no no let me explain why you young conspicuous consumers are you my I’m 90s that’s that’s 2000 you talking about so I’m I’m that generation okay so let me explain what and I want and I want to ask you your point on this
So social media some I brought this up to somebody I said social media is actually doing good for black people let me explain hold on time out hear me out hear me out for one algorithm is pushing black on you because Mark zuberg is a businessman so hear me out if I’m a
Businessman and the whole goal is to get people to stay on this app if I’m a black if you’re black if you go to your search bar all you going to see is is is either big booty women black women cuz you’re black he wants to okay get your
Attention okay right black people are now socializing and watching and staying in tune with black people more than anything else to the point where look how all of us wear our hair now black boys no longer get testers they no longer get everybody’s wearing their hair natural I see that but what cont
Are we engaging each other CU When you go down your IG feed right it’s all degenerate Behavior mostly your Facebook feed this booty shaking and uh uh what celebrity went to jail who got shot who took who girl uh who just got booked who snitched my biggest disappointment with black America intergenerationally
Because we all guilty my biggest disappointment with black people and social media for a long time we were not allowed to tell our own story now you mean to tell me you can tell your own story your own media platform on multiple platforms and we ain’t talking
About nothing serious I can’t tell you the last time I’ve seen a serious conversation on social media or YouTube yes this is Progressive a lot of the podcasts don’t be Progressive they talking about who snitch who died who beefing who this who that and some of
Them will talk about if I saw one podcast they went live for 12 hours talking about [ __ ] how the hell you start at 8 at night and don’t get off till 8 in the morning and they had a thousand people tuned into this crap you ain’t talking
About no schools you ain’t talking about fighting Against Racism you ain’t talking about no opportunities you ain’t talking about the migrant takeover you ain’t talking about the next wave of covid all you talking about is he say and she say I’m disappointed in US brother we are at War they’re trying to
Get rid of us I guess from my perspective I I I am being selfish I’m looking at it of a point of I don’t look at that I only look at the good I only follow and participate but I don’t think you understand how big that crowd is oh
No I know the size but they involved in the wrong stuff no no no I’m talking about the size of people who actually are on the the black people are on the positive wave who only follow financial literacy it’s so many of them cuz I met
Them I’m I’m in the age that I feel like that movement gets a lot of Praise but the movement with that that’s what we’re doing doesn’t get any nobody commit what you’re doing but here’s my constructive criticism and call to action for y’all right a million black youth getting
Money is not improving the overall progress of the black community right when are y’all going to consolidate collaborate systemati what y doing create some infrastructure and build some institutions so we have some permanent programs out here intergenerationally that our children going to benefit from that’s exactly what I’m trying to just getting money
The Rapp has been getting money for we need it’s the insti when are y going to build them it’s that’s what I’m trying me I feel you I feel you I’m trying I’m I’m putting up my own money right but I don’t want you doing it by yourself I
Have to let me tell you why we can’t do it alone I have to let me explain why I have to do it alone but that’s individual ISM don’t get me wrong you got to do it alone till you get I have the money to do it alone though that’s
The good thing which is good but here’s why we can’t do it alone because when we die and we will no I can’t do it alone alone but I I have to but follow what I’m saying when we die and we all will our people got to go
Back to ground zero and start all over from a again that’s why you got to have institutions to carry on the work because it’s no longer about the cult of personality as long as it’s just you it’s the cult of personality as long as it’s just me it’s the cult of
Personality now I have a team but once the school get open we’re going to be building schools all over the place and each school going to have its own school team so that way God forbid whenever the ancestors called doctor Umar back fdmg will continue to flourish because it was
Not a cult of personality yes it has to be you alone but once you get to a certain point you got to consolidate that oh yeah for sure for sure look at how gangster rappers or hip-hop artists look at all the money they got but they never going to consolidate you know what
That means the black community is never going to benefit or maximize from the wealth because they won’t come together because they too busy competing with each other how did the Asians take over the black hair care industry you know how the Koreans took it because the sisters D hair was too busy what
Competing for customer the brothers with the barber shops was too busy what competing for who got the best shape up instead of consolidating and so the Koreans came to the hood and said oh all this money none of them working together that’s what we going to do we’re going
To take over all the supplies and now it’s a what multi-billion Dollar business because black folks don’t want to work together for sure if you don’t work together you always give an opportunity for the enemy to come in between you know what so crazy black women do nails right but you know what
They tell other black women what we don’t do feet I didn’t know that yes like all the black nail Texs they don’t do feet W not humble enough to serve their own people they said some them said it’s nasty and some of them say it takes too long to do both
Nails and feet and I can just get a bunch of women out of there just doing their nails but I said what you’re doing is they’re doing something you’re not which means what you just gave them control over the entire foot Market they just monopolized the entire Market on
Feet cuz your lazy selfish ass isn’t humble enough to serve another sister who looks just like you but let the white woman coming in they probably eat their Tow Jam and everything that [ __ ] Nails it really me wrong kiss their boogies when I figured out most black nail Texs who are
Independent the ones who be posting that they do people Nails don’t do toes look at that that’s crazy this a’t but listen history always repeats itself guess when we made that same mistake during desegregation up until deseg we were mostly what farmers and laborers plumbers mechanics architects once the
White man said you could come get an education at our University guess what we did I ain’t going to be no uh electrician no more working with my hands I want to get me a desk job I don’t want to be no uh Plumbing no more
I don’t want to be no farmer no more I want to get me a desk job and by making that decision just like them sisters to not do feet we made a decision to no longer work with our hands we won a desk job with a white suit in the tie we gave
Every other community a monopoly on the industrial Building Trades that they keep in a headlock right now I was told by a School Reform Commission officer in Philadelphia where the sixth largest public school district you know what she told me she said Dr Umar you absolutely right the industrial Building Trades are
The way to save our children so why y not putting them back in the high school guess what she told me the white labor unions do not want the Building Trades black back in the black high schools and do you want to know why as long as the
Trades are not back in the high school they have a monopoly on who gets training and who gets work simple silly decisions like that sabotaging our economic growth as a people everything even uh there is actually a blackowned hair store that I went to that I go and get hair products
For and it’s in North Atlanta out of all places I’m like why is and we need to support that store I do I go I go and get my shea butter my this my dad that’s a good intervention but you know what the solution is for black women to not
Feel they got to straighten or perm their hair again promote Black Beauty every black first thing we got to do is stop bunny hopping leaving the snow bues alone second thing we got to do is motivate our sisters to go natural because until black women go natural in
Mass as a group black girls are going to always feel insecure about their natural beauty so can I ask you something too if there is a young guy out there who wants to be exactly like Umar Johnson but I’m pretty sure you’re gonna say be better than me absolutely response but Absolut
Be better what would the steps he would have to take if he feels like I do black studies I have a conscious voice how can they become as popular as you and monetize themselves like you did what would what would be your advice to him the monetization came by accident and
Necessity because when I first started public speaking I did not charge for the first 10 years and guess what I haven’t charged for an event since covid so I ain’t charged for the first 10 years and I ain’t charged for the past four years most people don’t know that
But getting back to your point all great black leaders did three things they study I don’t go nowhere without books they struggle what are you doing to help your people and they disseminate information they educated their people you must study to be intelligent you must fight to improve our conditions and you must
Educate our people to bring them along with you those are the first three things and on top of that we must judge ourselves by what I call the five C courage how much guts do you have to stand face to face with white folks and tell them
The truth about what they doing to your people without courage you can’t do nothing else Maya Angelo said courage is the most important of all virtues because without it you can’t do no other virtue commitment how committed are you to Black Liberation and Independence or the minute the white man
Threaten you you out do King’s house was bombed twice with his wife and kids in it and he still ain’t quit they bomb Malcolm house the week before he died he still didn’t quit they broke Frederick Douglas hand and almost killed him a million times at them anti-slavery
Rallies he still didn’t give up commitment consistency are you still standing on your same political Square today as you did 10 years ago or did you start getting soft did you start compromising you could look at my message today look at my message five years ago look at my message 15 years
Ago I never compromise you must be consistent because without consistency people can’t what trust you courage commitment consistency creativity what are you building for the people create we are man what’s the root word man is the root word of manifest God put us on Earth to bring forth opportunity for our people
Creativity Consciousness you must be intelligent and understand the world we live in Okay so how are you able to monetize yourself like what are your streams of income right now as we speak well remember I’m a certified school psychologist by trade so my bread and butter is evaluations I
Evaluate children for special education disability placement that’s my bread and butter and you get that money from the people or school district schol dist sometimes independent parents but mostly school districts yeah that’s still the bread and butter so that’s your bread and butter and that’s it yeah I mean
Occasionally I charge for my appearances and things like that um interviews that kind of thing but school psychology is still the profession okay so interviews School psych I’m saying this because mostly from the profession I know but I’m not saying it because cuz I I get what the perspective you coming
From like I’m saying it because I have a financial literacy thing and people want to know like how are people making money so you don’t have to say how much they just want to know how do you make your money you don’t have to say how much you
Get what I’m saying I see what you said m is mostly are how many streams I’m not as Diversified as you I know but how many streams of income do you have and could you name them all um profession public appearances uh and products mostly my books so three
Streams of income okay BR and that’s important because people at the end of the day someone said if you don’t make money from what you love to do you’ll burn yourself out so I think it’s a I do believe you have to start off doing it for the love and
Then somehow to come to you as a pastor you can monetize it but I do believe you should monetize in some way what you do because that also incentivizes you to keep doing it I agree with that but I want to balance it out by adding a small caveat that
Says earn all you must monetize all you want get all the money you can get in this world because the future is not guaranteed for your grandchildren’s grandchildren but make sure there’s something you keep sacred that you always do for free so let me
Give you an example right I do a lot of things for free but I keep it confidential because I believe that you don’t get your blessings from above if you want to brag about what you giv back you feel me and plus the nature of my business mental health and that got to
Be confidential anyway because I can’t be out here putting people business out just so people know I’m serving the people at no cost and a lot of what I do right but spiritually spiritually you must have something in your life that you give away at no cost like how you
Said you do the free Sunday class or something you do that’s how you keep your spirit clean because the spirit functions off of Charity and any person that doesn’t have something they do for free at no cost is a person with a heavy heart to keep the
Energy around you good you must always recycle it by giving back but you also said I and I do that I give back a lot and I do things for free but you said we got to be more intentional about becoming or getting more money so I believe if we’re going to be
Intentional then everybody has to practice being intentional including you I agree with that totally agree but I would also add to that your charity will drive your Commerce for sure in other words when I look at all the people who donated to the school these were the people I helped when they
Had nothing these were the people who needed a consult to save their child when they couldn’t pay the consultation fee you see what I’m saying it’s and guess what it’s a part of business anyway although as black people we should be doing it from for a spiritual
Reason but you see white folks do it all the time the frequent Shopper program you see what I’m saying you spend $100 you going to get a stamp every time you spend and once you get 20 stamps you get a $100 shop you know what I mean that
Reciprocity they’re doing it purely for economic reasons but we should be doing it for reasons of community and spirituality you know what’s crazy I’ve been giving away a free play stock play every Sunday for the last 5 years since 2019 and I was doing it for free and I’m
Still doing it for free still free it’s every Sunday and now this thing came to I wasn’t making no money from this just doing it every Sunday I’m already a millionaire I still but I committed to you to give you a free play every Sunday
So I continue to do that now this thing is a driving force to my business see that you got your blessing I don’t have a ego of why am I not known or why am I not this because I’m getting blessed on the black on the back that comes and
Yeah and we should never strive for that let that come like for me it just came I didn’t look for it it caught me off guard let it come don’t don’t don’t let that drive you because um we are here to serve in the world we’re not here to
Serve the world got to be careful that you’re making sure you’re serving the people and not the world I agree with you I thought I was the only one who thought Financial Liberation is how we solve the black people everyone was talking about who do we vote for that’s
Going to solve us who do we uh what you got to do is uh it starts with the mayor he got to blah blah blah then you got to go to your local councilmen and I like if these young boys don’t learn how to get some money they going to still Rob
They going Rob that’s right and putting more police on the street does not reduce crime res people don’t understand how much money it take to to to build institutions like the money ain’t our obstacle though we got the money the problem is we don’t have the
Commitment I look at what I went through over these past five years of building fdmg or these past 10 years of fun raising because it was 5 years of fundraising and 5 years of renovating right right and I said to my there was times where I’m like wow am I really
Supposed to be doing this because this [ __ ] is hard man people sabotaging you the black contractors won’t even do the work you paying them you know you get like YouTube videos about you yeah and uh and they still do people ain’t built [ __ ] for black people but the point that
I’m making is to build an institution takes commitment and and it takes prolonged commitment and consistency and a lot of us don’t have that for one another that’s why we got a million single hustles and no mega movements in the community also think we’re 2020 I was doing stocks way before 2020
Three years prior 2020 is when everybody had a chance you know what let me ask you that speaking of 2020 what do you think the effects of black people are prior to 2020 what did the pandemic have an effect on us as uh the pandemic well number one it reminded black people that
Nobody’s going to save us if we don’t save ourselves it gave black people a taste of reality in the scariest form because we went to supermarkets and there was no food on the shelves we went to hospitals and there was no beds and we saw Co the only good thing about that emergency
Was it show black people how much we will suffer if we don’t get our act together by not having any infrastructure we we suffered heavily because we didn’t have any infrastructure half our elders who died in the white hospitals died because there was no black hospitals to take
Care of them white hospitals were literally killing our elders because the government was giving them money for the amount of dead they had based on covid so they were killing people and blaming it on covid to get the money I I the the the the and I did you know seminars on
This at that time but the covid crisis really showed black people how if you ain’t got no infrastructure you won’t survive this you won’t survive this Century Asians were able to take care of their people Jews was able to take care of their people they had food put away
They had water put away they had Emergency Shelters we had none of that it was every black person for thems the world we live in can only be survived by ethnic and racial groups who stick together as long as black people continue this radical dysfunctional individualistic attitude that we have
We’re gonna lose brother we gonna lose big the community is the solution I want to say this too I went to Africa last year so now I we’re Ghana afana and I I learned a statistic that really shocked me was African countries need visas passports nearly to go visit other African countries yes
And it’s changing a little bit it is they have a regional passport I believe in some areas and now they’re working on a continental wild passport that if you live in Africa you can fly any now though it’s well you know why that was done though that was done by the White
Colonialist when he left he left those divisions up there because Africans collaborating with each other across the continent undermined his continued control and domination of the resources the white man did that same reason why if you visit certain you can you can be in one Caribbean country and you need to
Fly to the next Caribbean country you might got to fly back to America to get to that country you might got to fly to Europe to get to that country because the white man never wanted to exit himself as the middleman to maintain control divide and conquer separate R I
Get that but at the end of the day what if some of us question how could we allow colonialism cuz I believe you said this point you said the reason why Asians now you said this I watch a lot of your interviews you said the reason why Asians are protected is because they
Have a Homeland to call to remember you said that you said the reason why Indians are protected Arabs are protected because they got we got to do business with them you get what I’m trying to say so what I’m trying to say is the liberation of black people as a
Whole too has to somehow start with Africa in order to liberate us it must include Africa you get what I’m it doesn’t have to start with Africa and the reason why I’m saying that it don’t have to start but right it got to included if if they become financially Empower that builds
Our respect around the world AG abolutely oh completely and we need to use our financial empowerment to help empower the continent no hear me out hear me out let me let me say why I say no to that I met some of the richest Africans I’m in a penthouse like we in
It was the prince of Liberian in there it was the prince of it was a prin of this and that they got more money than me I got millions they got more money than us some of them have more money than us they have more money
Than us no no continent wide yes not country per country the top 10 black billionaires five of them are African right but here’s what you’re missing a lot of them just like our black billionaires right are selfish and they’re not matricula you understand me so they’re not a part of the solution
Until they start to divest themselves of some of that wealth and put it into the people I get that remember now when we talk pan-africanism or African Liberation even if you’re not a Pana africanist we’re talking about a Grassroots movement you see what I’m saying we want the billionaires to join
Us and if they do great so much more easier this work will become they said because of the corruption in Nigeria that’s why it kep flourish and the corruption of the leaders in Africa is why I can’t fles but what I’m saying and this is why I’m saying it might got to
Start with us because we are not necessarily under the same type of constraint in other words we got to take our uh uh free wealth to Africa and invest to empower the people at the bottom Africa inherited the classist mentality of the colonizer so did we
Here so a lot of us once we start getting it like that we are not interested in going back to rescue the people at the bottom I can I cave out out that though you say okay we got to use our black American dollars to empower Africa but if we’re not in
Control of their governance cuz you got to think if I’m trying to buy real estate over Africa there’s laws in place to this if unless they give us political power there’s no reason for us to go over there and invest in my I disagree
Why not and I’m going tell you why a lot of African countries are not going to give American Africans or any of us from the diaspora political so how can we help them you don’t need political power to help if you’re genuine about your help they have let Give an example I’m
Coming to Atlanta to help the poor Brothers in Buckhead but I say in order for me to help these brothers out I need political power in Buckhead if you’re genuine about what you’re doing why do you need political power we don’t need political power to help Africa we don’t you need influence I
Have influence I don’t need political power okay so we go unless I’m not understanding your definition of political power because now it looks like opportunism if you go in here saying I need political power in order to help my brothers and sisters on the continent looks we’re going to if we’re
Going to give them billions and billions of dollars yes we need to control how your schools is ran we need to control how this is R need to control it we need to have influence and input we don’t need to control it remember something remember something go ahead Liberia
Right do you remember what happened there when the americ liberians came back to Liberia from America following slavery we went over there to build a new opportunity for ourselves and guess what we did we faed to realize that the white man’s mentality was operating in our subconscious and we went to Liberia
And thought we were better than our brothers and sisters who were already there and do you know what that led to a war between American liberians and Native liberians that lasted almost a hundred years and it’s still going on to this day so we got to be very careful
About going to Africa looking for political power until we’ve proven to our brothers and sisters over there that we are there for the right reasons because who is to say the CIA didn’t put a battery in your back stay with me well the Council on Foreign Relations didn’t
Put a battery on my back and sent me to Nigeria sent me Namibia sent me to gaban to go over there weave my way into the trust of African people to only exploit and misdirect them to give the white man a hand a hand of control back in that
Soil they got to be careful with us because we sold them short before we sold them and they sold us over here well some of them sold us only a few kingdoms participated in the transatlantic slave trade the transatlantic slave trade was not an African industry it was built by the
White man managed by the white man benefited by the white man and was only ended until the white man decided to end it so that’s just like saying we’re in the Streets of Atlanta selling drugs to each other yeah you do got black men in Atlanta selling drugs to each other but
Are they floating it to America are they the ones Distributing in America are they the ones protecting themselves from giving it out the black man selling dope on the streets of America is a slave in the drug trade he has no power whatsoever you right he’s middleman but
Like I said I I still believe those leaders must come together for one open up the entire continent like Europe is or like the United States even though it’s a country you mean when you say open it up open it up meaning like Europe to what the countries can all visit each
Other oh yeah well that’s they pretty much open it up meaning they but they Haven it fully it’s only a few it’s like how many countries no they about to do uh African Union working on a continent wide passport if you live on a continent and you’re a citizen you can go anywhere
And of course Echo wise I believe they already have their own passport it’s regional and it’s about to be Continental when I was in Ghana I would ask other Ghana on purpose and I’ll tell you what I asked Greek people on purpose cuz I’ve been a Greece too so I went to
Ghana and I asked them have you ever been to Nigeria have you ever been to other places and they were like No And I was like why they was like I want to go to Europe I want to go to New York you’re right even they have that
Mentality oh for sure they don’t want don’t want to visit other African countries cuz they say we’re alike there’s no point of seeing them well remember the same country now culture they say you’re right but we got to keep in mind Africa didn’t get its independence until when 1957 with Ghana
South Africa didn’t get their independence until the 90s right you see what I’m saying so we got out of slavery 150 something years ago they just got out of colonization 70 years ago my point is we should not expect them to be think thinking like freeorn Africans only 70 years out of colonization
Because we over 100 years out of slavery and we still think like Plantation Negroes you see what I’m saying you have to give time for the Consciousness to catch up I do catch up it’s it’s slow and you know why it’s slow because in Africa just like in America just like in
Europe most black kids are taught on Whose curriculum white man’s I’ve spoken in the schools in Africa white man I’ve spoken to the schools in Europe white in America white man what I say before we want proximity to whiteness and that’s why most successful black people send their kids
To White schools why because if my child is successful they’re G to be living in a white suburb we ain’t thinking about no black liberation I also too think some people think about conditions too what you mean like I live in like all my neighbors are
White I lived in an all black Mansion neighborhood but the but the reason why I moved from that was not because of I had black neighbors if it was negligence on myself I told you I bought the old house of Jason Jeter young Dr all the
Celebrity Liv in my house I lived in a premier house but what I was doing was posting a picture for one of my house and do filming content with my house cuz I’m so excited to be a 23y old with a mansion yes sir right and then
I’m camouflaging my cars I’m doing all types of young hot [ __ ] so that was on me I had to move because of my negligence and I would have stayed there I wish I would have stay and I also had to move because the city of Atlanta I
Forgot what it’s called when they when they pay you to take your they gave me 45,000 because we’re they said they’re taking a piece of my land imminent domain imminent domain that’s exactly what they said they doing so they paid me 45,000 to take so I said look I’m a I
Even pleaded with the city of South foron I was like hey I’m a prominent black person what do I have to pay to not let this happen to my land I don’t want the 45k I can’t let this gate cuz I had a back gate I live in a gated
Community they’re going to take my gate for a year you get what I’m saying so I said look I’m way too influ influential to not have a gate on the south side of Atlanta people could literally come and you get what I’m saying like I I I was
Throwing parties at my house I’m doing all types of young stupid stuff now I have a mansion in alfaretta I don’t I don’t tell people where I live I don’t tell people you know what I’m saying like and like I said I but I still GNA build on the south side of
Atlanta here’s my reaction to brothers and sisters who share that information with me if you got to step away for a minute to protect your interest and protect your family so be it but you need to be helping to transform the ghetto into the community that your family will be safe
That’s what it was about I had to move away and I was also getting threats we know where you live like haters cuz I cuz I’m from the south side that I got you so I couldn’t risk okay if I’m out of town I came from the military so I’m
On some stuff like if I was by myself so be it bring it on I got my wife and kids here when I leave and go how you got to go out of town to go get some business I got to do that sometimes can’t have them
Home while I do this so now I got to go live by white folks when I was just around black people because of stuff like that you get what I’m saying say so it’ be deeper than what people think it is people who lived around black
Communities and was doing I was doing a lot down there but I’m getting threats I’m getting this I’m getting that you get what I’m saying I see what you’re saying so I had to move away and and and and not to speak of you uh individually
Because it’s not about you per se right but my only caveat only push back not to you though but to young black successful people in your position we have to make sure that when we are living amongst the masses when we are successful that we’re doing it in a way
That does not earn the Envy of those who have less sometimes we can tend to be too flashy flashy too elitist too stand office too snobby to such a point that it earns the envy and the motivation that’s I took accountability on that for sure like because you got to remember I
Don’t show nothing no more right 100 years ago you had to live in the ghetto no matter what Muhammad Ali Jack Johnson Jesse Owens Joe Lewis these people lived in the ghetto because white people didn’t let them live with them so my thing is if we were able to survive it
Then we should be able to survive it now one of the differences between now and then is back then the successful black person still had the same mentality of those on the Grassroots level and today a lot of our young successful brothers and sisters tend to adopt an elitist arrogant mentality towards their
Brothers and sisters who have less so we got to make sure we moving right that’s true you know I’m not no millionaire or anything like that but I feel safe wherever I go don’t get me wrong I still need to have security at my events but when I’m moving solo I
Feel safe anywhere like I’ll walk into a project and feel safe same here you see what I’m saying because we got to make sure we moving in such a way that we underscore Community Unity as opposed to emphasizing our financial differences yeah like it’s not you probably receiv
Received threats before it’s it’s online I get them all the time yeah like it’s online stuff that we don’t even be caring about you I don’t care next white boy who sent me a picture of his naked ass uncooked snow bunny flesh I’mma find his ass whoa they be sending me pictures
Of their women with no clothes on why you sending your you know what I mean with the death threat you know I don’t want to see her that’s uncooked meat I don’t do un meat I like my meat nice and uh what they say pan
Seared I need you to Brown and bake that flesh five five extra thick in the thighs I [ __ ] with it so um did you ever change your name my father changed my name I was born Germaine shoe make I still use the name occasionally I’m
Still known by the name by a lot of people who knew me as a child my father changed it to Umar Johnson around the time my parents married and I was given my African name through divination at the oot tunji African village in South Carolina uh on November the 19th of 2011
My family is gei they from Florence South Carolina I get out of here I was in uh I was in uh Savannah uh I spoke there I stay I station there for 6 years yep I I spoke in Savannah and I took a a good sister
From that area took me on a tour sister Dana peace and love shout out to Sister Dana in Savannah she took me on the tour and I got to see the EO Landing where the Nigerians got off the boat said I’m not g to be a slave and they walk right
Back into the water and gave their life they got off the slave [ __ ] turned around the chief let them man woman and child and they walked right back into the water and drowned themselves rather than be a slav that was the inspiration for killer in Black Panther remember at
The scene when he died it was atth it was in Savannah Savannah Georgia e near Savannah that’s when me and my wife got married remember in Black Panther the scene where Killa dies and he says I throw me into the ocean so I can be with my ancestors because I’d rather be freed
And be a slave or something that was the EO Landing yeah and there’s no Market there either but people know who know where it there’s no I’m surprised I’ve been in six years white folks don’t care but but you know what they’ll do they’ll build a EO Landing visiting center in 10 years
And charge you $100 to get a tour from a white man whatever history of ours that we don’t protect white people will exploit it and monetize it I go to Nat Turner land every year right I was born on his birthday Virginia dryville Virginia Matt Turner led the most successful slave Revol in
American history he ultimately was assassinated don’t you know the white folks found one of the houses where Nat Turner murdered some of the whites and from what I hear this talk of turning that house into a museum would you ever think in a million years white people would take Nat Turner’s Legacy
And try to monetize that but that’s what they trying to do and they’re able to do this all across America because we as black people don’t value our history we don’t try to hold on to the properties that are sacred to our experience 40s they basically want to engineer
People to kill without any remorse or compassion for their victims I believe she was a MK Ultra you saw that I saw her and I saw I I don’t see no black person just walking up to the King house trying to burn it down I believe that
Was a test case because remember one block away from where that girl tried to burn down the king H King House what happened Dr King’s mother was shot the death in church ebena Baptist Church remember Dr King mother was murdered in the church a so a so-called Hebrew
Israelite and I’m saying that because I’m sure my Hebrew Israelite brothers and sisters wouldn’t consider that person one of their own but a so-call calleded Hebrew Israelite brother got on a bus from somewhere in the midwest took a Greyhound all the way to Atlanta Georgia went into the King Church on
Service day and and shot and murdered Mama King right there in the church and so here it goes this girl a block away at the king residence and she trying to burn the King house down I think this is MK Ultra and remember they also murdered Dr King’s younger brother they found him
Dead in the swimming pool even though he was a master swimmer two families that suffered so much is Malcolm’s family in King Family Malcolm was murdered Malcolm’s grandson was murdered Malcolm’s Daddy was murdered don’t work for The Honorable marus Garvey Malcolm’s mother was put into that insane asylum in kazou where I
Spoke at Western Michigan University last month I believe Malcolm’s grandfather might have been murdered I just look at what Malcolm’s family been through then you go to Dr King Dr King was murdered his mama was murdered his brother was murdered what I tell people all the time what we’re trying to do
This Freedom struggle African Liberation and I do believe you’re leaning towards trying to help your people so I would include you you know in that conversation this is not a work that people celebrate when you’re in it you follow what I’m saying and this is what like going back to the conversation
About me not having a wife women don’t understand don’t marry me because of my degrees and my prominence I can go to jail tomorrow I can be assassinated tomorrow you see what I’m saying so it can’t be based on that it got to be something more than that because this is
Struggle you sacrificing this you don’t get put the celebrity down and pick up the activist I tell people I’m a panafrican and psychologist activist stop the celebrity [ __ ] this is real life what I’m doing here you know what I mean and I don’t think a lot of people
Realize this man look at look at Bob Marley they gave him cancer in his toe died at 36 Patrice lumba I’m looking at that green chair cuz Patrice lumba used to sit in the green chair Patrice lumba assassinated at the age of 36 they cut his body up into little tiny pieces
Crami and kruma overthrown they probably gave him cancer killed him Walter Rody killed him Maurice Bishop killed him George Jackson killed him huie Newton killed him uh Fred Hampton killed him IM I mean look what they did so I tell people don’t get in this unless you really in this
Because if you are not serious about this they will turn you into a coward I can’t tell you how many black leaders I I grew up respecting only to see that they have been turned into cowards because they was afraid to suffer the consequences that the white power
Structure was willing to dish out remember whenever you stand up to fight against any oppressor I don’t care what color you are you better be willing to take the pain they gonna give you you don’t win until you took the pain when Dr King had his house blown up twice and
Got arrested all them times he took the pain you got to have endurance so how could somebody endurance pre seeds Victory so what you’re saying is if you as a black man try to help black people you are putting an ex on your chest and you better do it proudly
Without no misgivings or No Reservations if there’s anything in you that is not 100% committed to the people the white man will find it and he will exploit it you can’t be afraid of death you can’t be afraid of jail you can’t be afraid of poverty you can’t be afraid of having
Your reputation destroyed it must be for the people if you’re not living for the people get out of it because the white man is the master psychologist why you think so many of our leaders got turned into sellouts man white man said okay he talking at black talk let me see what
Happened when I take that b he talking at black talk let me see what happened when I turn him broke he talking at black talk let me see what happened when the uh KKK pull up on him and pull a shotgun out so what if you are a business
Owner and and you’re independently empowering people like okay so you saying there’s really no so in that case you’re in danger correct for what you’re saying I’m probably the most unapologetically black man in the United States without question but you don’t walk around with fear you can’t you have
To discipline yourself we’re all human right fear is a natural human emotion I get death threats all the time from Caucasians and black folks I was sitting in an audience in uh Cleveland Ohio about to go on the stage I got a text message we in the audience if you come
Out here we going to blow your [ __ ] brains out I told my security the police came they had to check people and everything right I was going to go out there though I said I’m going they said you can’t go out there like I said I’m
Going I refuse to be afraid I’m damn that IR you got the iron on you though yeah oh there you go I about to say hey hey hey that that’s all I’m trying to say yeah but yeah that don’t really matter with me though because when I’m giving my speech
I’m so into my message I’m not even going to see you coming you see what I’m saying people come to my speech and say I was sitting right in front of you you didn’t see me of course I didn’t see you I’m here to deliver a message to the
People I’m not looking at y’all I’m trying to give out the wisdom that the ancestors put in my head to give to you I don’t see nothing when I’m talking I don’t see you till it’s over you can be sitting there the whole time oh [ __ ] that’s Aristotle I didn’t even see you
Man because I was so into my message you know what I’m saying see my thing is when you know your purpose it don’t matter Dr King knew that was his purpose Malcolm knew Garvey knew Douglas knew Nat Turner knew Gabriel prer denark vzy they knew Fred Hampton George jacks
Mega Evers our Apprentice Bunchie cter John Huggins they they knew I was sent here to do this my favorite quote from Nat Turner confessions Nat Turner said and the spirit appeared to me and said trying to remember exactly the spirit appeared to me and said such is your
Luck such you shall do and whether it comes rough or whether it comes smooth you shall surely bear it that turn it said the Holy Spirit appeared to him and told him that such as your luck such you are called to do and whether it come rough or whether it comes smooth you
Shall surely bury so the spirit told him you gonna die you might lose your homies they tortured and killed Nat Turner’s wife two of his kids snuck out that’s the only reason why Nat Turner got descendant walking the Earth right now you see what I’m saying but you got
To be in there you can’t you can’t half step distance that’s why I meditate because I don’t ever want to get like Dr King and Malcolm you know where people threatening you so much you just ready to die not saying that was the case but
When you talk to people who was close to them that what they said you feel me they say they got to a point where they got so exhausted from being threatened they knew they was going to die I heard Malcolm say I’m a dead man walking yeah
But they both knew it but I don’t think they were disheartened because of it but Malcolm did expose the Nation of Islam on national television and I saw the interview you get what I’m saying so that’s the part where I’ll have like King I can understand assassination
Malcolm with all due respect to me brought it on himself like from his people he’s literally snitching on he’s saying muhamed is having sex with young women and he’s doing he literally to the white man snitching on the Brotherhood first of all there’s nothing Malcolm said that wasn’t true stay with me go
Ahead if it was true right if it was true allegedly anything Malcolm said that was true the government already knew it anyway because they had already thoroughly infiltrated the Nation of Islam and every other black organization so there’s nothing Malcolm said that’s bringing the government to an awareness
Of anything that was happening in Mr Muhammad’s personal life because they was already wiretapping everybody they already infiltrated everybody now it might have been embarrassing for the world to hear it but to the government they knew it before it happened no no no I’m not saying a white man kill I’m
Saying you snitched on your Brotherhood they killed him in my opinion he said he was a dead man walk was collaboration he said he was a dead man walk here where I disagree with you if they were involved right if they were were involved allegedly any black
Man who takes the life of a sincere black leader and does not replace the work that he was engaged in is a hypocrite if you going to take me out you better build the schools I’m building you better build the Solutions in Africa I’m planning on building you
Understand me don’t you kill me for no ego and jealousy or because I expose your misgivings and you never step up to the plate and do what I was doing Malcolm was taking the United States government the world court for crimes against African people ain’t none of them do that that’s
True so don’t don’t N I don’t know no and remember you’re talking about people who claim to be leaders themselves it’s it’s it’s complete hypocrisy to take out a leader and you claim to be one yourself I agree with you but what I’m saying is cuz I don’t
Know what as a as a man too you got to be conscious of the danger you bring on yourself that’s all I’m saying too you get I’m trying to say like he literally was antagonizing the brotherhood like literally on National Television saying he did it he did this he did this that’s
All I’m saying wouldn’t you say it was wrong on both sides though yeah for sure but what I’m saying is blowing up his house yeah all that threatening his life trying to put him on the street when he built your movement it was wrongdoing on both sides yeah for sure but I just
Think need you still got to be conscious as a black leader of cuz even like nipy Hustle No black leader should ever be no black leader should ever be in fear of someone else who claims but that’s not what Tupac say that just the way it is
We understand like even ain’t the way it is I’m not calling nobody no leader if we are leaders in here no matter how much jealousy Envy success or lack thereof if we truly claim to be about the best interest of our people there’s no way in hell any of
Us should be thinking about taking any of the rest of our lives and if you do you are a hypocrite no leader kills a leader no leader kills a leader anybody who does that is but can we not say that we do have hoods that we do have people
Who still on this mentality and if we swim and be around these people then like even with the ni situation I was like look after I went to LA you should have never called that man a snitch but that does not justify him losing his life no it doesn’t but what I’m saying
Is even if not that he’s in La I’m not saying it’s bound to happen but that is a treacherous place to live you can’t swim around sharks and not expect to get bit one day that’s that’s I totally agree with that statement I totally agree with that you can’t do
That but I would I agree with you I would just reiterate no black leader life no should ever be under Threat by anybody who claims to be a sincere leader for black people they should order it they shouldn’t condone it they shouldn’t applaud it yeah that’s true you know we just got
To learn from it that’s all yeah yeah and and the things I’m learning from even the Malcolm even the nip situation is okay if I’m going to be a black leader let me not for one antagonize dangerous black people that’s impossible I’m not going to call you out
I’m not F to say nothing impossible listen to me if I am a black leader and you are doing something that is against the best interests of my people sooner or later there will be conflict if I’m sincere and Incorruptible well he I better be ready to take you out too I
Better be ready to do what it take you listen there consequences to saying folks names and doing this and that but here’s the question that I got for you if you’re out here doing the work for the people right and somebody’s threatening you because you’re doing the
Work for us why the hell we sitting around letting you get threatened in the first place my folks don’t let that happen though but but hear what I’m saying for anybody not you we’re not speaking individualism I just mean as a matter of policy if Dr Umar is out here
Saving our children the black community should be stepping to I shouldn’t even have to ask because of what I do the black community should be stepping to whoever got the problem and they handling that [ __ ] you’re right you feel me like the way Bumpy Johnson went to Malcolm Bumpy Johnson went to Malcolm
Bumpy Johnson king of Harlem said listen bro you got some smoke I can end all this and Malcolm said leave it alone bumpy we don’t I don’t want black people killing each other that’s we should all have a Bumpy Johnson Malcolm had bumpy he called him
Off I don’t know why but he called them off we all need a Bumpy Johnson to say no you’re not messing with Dr Umar bro you want to get street I’m in the streets we all need somebody in the streets who’s willing to protect the
Life of the and that’s how I feel like the city of Atlanta protects me like all the OG’s all them like hey anybody like Atlanta literally is like hey you get what I’m saying so I do respect that about my city and that’s one thing I I
Ultimately respect but like I said it just I want to move in a way that because I don’t feel like I have to get in anybody’s business to build my business you get what I’m saying I don’t have to say anything that he got going on but you’re not a political leader as
Not either strictly in the economics but once you become when I say political I don’t mean elected politics I mean someone in the community who is influential in making things happen I believe I got to do is teach finance and that’s my role you get what I’m saying
Like that’s my way of saving black people you cannot limit yourself to that at your age because you don’t know what your destiny is and if you are sincere about helping black folks helping them with the PO with the economic is sooner or later going to lead you into other
Avenues where activism is necessary you can’t just put yourself in a box and say this is me and don’t ask me because to some degree that’s cowardice because you’re saying I’m not willing to be invited to any other table to make change for my people that’s cowardice
You cannot do that you cannot put yourself in the box and insulate yourself I’m not a political person when you are at War as we are there is no such thing as convenience are we at War what one out of every four black men being murdered one out of three under
Some form of supervision of the criminal justice 2third of our kids being raised by single moms the highest black homelessness rate since Dr King walked the Earth our percentage in every state incarceration system is at least double our numbers in the society are we at War half the black men in America unemployed
Are we at War are you crazy migrant replacement of blacks in Chicago Detroit and everywhere else police killing us white people lynching us what the hell do you mean are we at War I get what you’re saying so if we at War the solution to me is not marching
You have to to win it I might be a psychologist but guess what if I got the shovel [ __ ] I got the shovel [ __ ] if I got to learn how to shoot I got to learn how to shoot if I got to learn how to
Plant food I got to learn how to plant food we don’t have the bougie convenience of picking and choosing what we going to do when our people are are in a state of danger all right I understand that so if this building catches on fire we got to
Put it out you can’t say I’m the economics man don’t pass me no bucket of water [ __ ] grab the bucket and throw the water on the fire all right so let me so let me say this all right so all I’m saying is you just said the solution to blacks period is economical
Power economic empowerment is theom empowerment right so one of the reasons we have so much disunity is we cannot economically Empower each other as you said very few blacks for blacks we have the so that’s my perspect that’s my way lowest self-employment percentage of all
Groups in America so I so what I want to do ultimately is use my black dollars and create jobs for a lot of black people yes sir create infrastructures for young black kids right that’s my goal but what I don’t want to do cuz I don’t believe this works it say
Everybody all 10,000 people come in the street get signs let’s March I don’t believe in that I don’t believe that works that’s what I’m saying I don’t I’m not with that I’m with let’s get some money let’s be smart proest is only a tactic or strategy that does not have to
Be part of your activism that’s what I’m saying like I rather do it in ways I’m just saying you cannot put a metal fence around the purpose you serve and say Don’t force me into any other pathway in order to help our people whatever whatever the freedom struggle will
Require of you you will get in it I give you an example Al Cabra of guiney basol one of the greatest panafrican it’s one of the greatest strategists we have in the African Freedom Movement guess what his occupation was school teacher how did he end up being the
Leader of one of the greatest African revolutionary moves all time necessity he didn’t say I’m just a school teacher I ain’t get involved in no fighting you can’t do that you go where the energy of the people leads if you’re a true leader you might say I’m not a leader
I’m just a manager what I’m saying is remember I was telling you I want to manage the economics don’t call on me to lead then you got to say that but remember but yeah oh hell yeah I’m definitely gonna say that hey look this I do
This I hey hey hey hey I’m going to say listen dog I do this this is what I do you march I do this I need you to change your name then you can’t call yourself Aristotle and why not because the Greek philosopher Aristotle who was trained in Africa right right he was
Comrade right Socrates MH and Socrates gave his life rather than than abdicate his belief Socrates brought the African Gods into Greece and taught the truth of African spirituality in Divinity and because of that they warned him to stop he would not do it he was imprisoned and forced to D drink the
Hemlock he could have recanted everything he believed in Socrates said no I know the truth and if it cost me my life I’m going to stand on it now I’m no admirer of the Greek philosophers because they was plagiarist but my point is if you going to carry a name like
That those men claim to have told the truth and care not for the consequences so if you are worried about the consequences young man it’s not the consequences you change your name expeditiously this is not it’s not the consequences it’s just okay remember the point I was telling you too earlier
Where some black people literally just living their lives right like they don’t but we can’t afford we dying could you imagine being on a Warfield you on a battlefield you in Vietnam somebody said you know what I don’t want to fight I just want to live my life I’m going to
Go over this tree and smoke some weed nine times out of 10 what’s going to happen to them what’s going to happen to him now I’m a fight but see I I’m fight you get know what I’m saying like that’s me like Hey listen to me man hey that’s
Me my brother the white man is a genius the white man legalized weed because he knew Negroes would do nothing but sit around and smoke while he take over all of the community intoxication I don’t smoke sometimes I got to blow tobacco smoke if it weren’t if it weren’t for
Weed I don’t think I could could grow this business this this if it wasn’t for weed black men would be out here fighting for justice and freedom but now white men control the weed weed dissipates and by the way most of the weed that you get in America is not even
Real weed I hope you’re growing it yourself but getting from somebody who grows them themselves most of the weed is coming from China it’s artificial weed and it’s being sprayed with artificial cannibis noise the smell is stronger the high is stronger and the side effect is worse than opioids so
Youall better be careful with that weed it might put you into a permanent schizophrenic episode from which you never recover you gonna see it on the street talking to yourself watch that weed watch that weed brother weed coming from I know you catch some of that China
Chronic your ass ain’t coming out the mental health hospital playing around I get mine grown in Cali all right long as you know what a sauce oh yeah that fake stuff from no you can’t do that you can’t do that that’s what they do in Philly and
All them other places New Jersey got a big problem with it yeah kids is smoking Two Joints schizophrenic episode for the rest of their life they putting rat poison in there Chinese cannaboids paint thinner all kind crack all kind of stuff in there messing our young people up and
Why our young people always looking to get high because they’re trying to escape their reality I don’t smoke weed though I actually do Edibles I don’t actually smoke the weed I just do I knew a brother who did he lost his job he had to do the mandatory weed screening and
Guess what he ate so many Edibles that he came up positive lost his job and he wasn’t even smoking he was only taking Edibles be careful I don’t have a a boss I understand that you don’t need a boss to catch the eie GBS with the schizophrenia keep but yeah like we
Might need to put you on the real one cuz you look like you need a blood SM we when I was in Jamaica hanging out with the bubble Shanti roster far I was one week in Jamaica and they brought me the roster chronic and we had a cipher I
Said I’m smoking me a joint I got to do this before I leave this earth and the rosters coach me I smoked the whole joint and guess what he felt good nothing happened they was waiting for me to turn into Marcus Messiah Garvey and nothing happened at all and they said
Maybe it ain’t meant for you to smoke because we ain’t never seen nobody smoke a whole stick of roster chronic in Jamaica no how long ago is this 2012 13 yeah that that that that’s when Jamaica had actually that was the first time I ever smoked was in Jamaica first
Time I ever smoked some weed was in they said I might be too intellectual to get high nah I don’t need to get high all I need is five five thicking the THS no that’s what motivat that’s AF Queens okay butter almond butter peacan caramel nutmeg pistachio hot peanut butter
Chocolate fud African vanilla African lemonade nappy hair all natural five five thick in the thighs that’s the only thing I get high that’s my only what about 57 cuz I’m kind of tall I like 55 is a is is a metaphor so they can be shorter they could be taller I don’t
Want them taller than me though no no no hell 64 my brother I got a six feet cut off a six feet Queen no I seen some some gorgeous six feet Queen I can’t go beyond six feet My My My First Girlfriend Was 5’9 I loved her to death
She was a good height I believe this episode right here is going to translate a lot too because we were talking earlier in the episode about how from a young man to the older guy and I feel like that message right there was one of my favorite
Parts cuz that’s really what I created this for which is good because I wouldn’t be where I am without my elders you feel me I have Elders um all over the country too I’m blessed I actually got Elders all over the world if I’m in
Ghana I got an elder if I’m in Nigeria I got an elder if I’m in South Africa I got an elder if I’m in England I got Elders if I’m in Jamaica I got Elders if I’m in Turks and cakers if I’m in Bahamas Bermuda St Croy St Thomas St
Martin I got elders and I always drink from their wisdom I’m a composite of the wisdom of those who have been around me my entire life who were older than me men and women I felt like if they see a young black man who’s who’s financially doing good yes tap into to
Older people and still seek advice how could that stop you from doing I agree here’s my last question if you had to tell young black men to avoid these mistakes what would they be sexual discipline is a very big problem for black men it’s the reason why we got so many
One of the reasons why we have so many single parented homes fatherless children lack of masculine account accountability conflict between each other we have to become more sexually disciplined related to that we have to become more spiritually grounded it doesn’t have to be a religion but it can
Be a religion black men have to learn to put God first because to be honest with you most black men that I know or have come across are Idol worshippers and they don’t even realize it do you know what the idol they worshiping is themselves and their bank
Account which means our young black boys are growing up to also be Idol worshippers who are praising themselves and their bank account one of the side effects of being a successful black man in a racist society that you have to guard against you me these brothers all of us is becoming a
Narcissist sometimes when you’re one of the few who made it you tend to develop a very grandiose conceptualization of Who You Are and that turns you into an idol worshipper of your own ego the next thing is we have to become more charitable black men are too
Selfish we’re not doing enough in the community for free to improve our people and the last thing that I would say is we have to become more courageous in defending our community against the white power structure and the last one I got to say is we have to show more honor and praise
Towards our women we are too hard too unforgiving too critical of black women who have it the worst of all women in this country without even the benefit of knowing that their men have their backs at all times we got to do a better job showing our sisters that we care about
Them we show the least amount of consistent support towards our women of any group of men in this country and that’s sad because black women are the most victimized sexually physically they’re the most discriminated against amongst women all women enjoy your privilege over the black woman just like
All men enjoy your privilege over the black man in this society and sometimes we forget that because black women tend to out earn and outeducate us so we think they’ve been accepted into the white power structure they catch their own hell and even though the white man
Will use our sisters against us those sisters who are willing to be used even though they will be used against us that’s no excuse for us not to still be standing up for black femininity in order to be masculine part of my definition of black masculinity requires you to support the
Femininity of our sisters well there you have it folks SCH startle Investments I got the man Dr Umar he just dropped so much gain he gave me so much wisdom as a young black man and if you haven’t make sure y’all subscribe like comment we appreciate it all tap into the next
