Understanding one's ancestry and heritage is essential for personal identity formation, as historical records, census classifications, and cultural traditions collectively shape how individuals and communities understand themselves, with the preservation of heritage being a fundamental right that enables people to connect with their roots and resist cultural appropriation.

History shapes identity.
Added:[music] [music] Are you [music] [music] I know you.
[music] >> [music] >> What's up my people? Welcome, welcome, welcome back to the Willis podcast.
Yeah, we here. We back. Yeah, and we back in effect, too. So, we going to have a good time. We got a great show lined up for you tonight. Of course we do. I'm going to let you know this this this is uh you know the history and who shapes the identity of America. You know what I'm saying? Who who what is America? It's part three, part four. You know, whatever, man. But y'all know y'all know what the show is about and I want you to understand it. So, let me go and get my stuff straight. Let me get my theme corrected because that's a little uh a little small. Let me uh edit that and uh edit this font. You're a little different, you know.
Let's see how that looks. Yeah, it could be a little bigger, but that's fine, you know. Uh, no, we going we going to make it a little bigger. Let me change that.
Let me change my graphics a little bit.
Let me edit the thing cuz uh font's a little um little little small, you know.
We gonna worry about it too much, but uh not too much. All right, let's get to the show. I don't want to do too much. I don't want to get too caught up into, you know, little stuff like that. But anyway, we got a great show and we're going to get to it because uh there's a lot of things that need to be pointed out. There's a lot of things that need to be said and there's a lot of people that got a lot of situations wrong because I pointed out a few things, you know, a few days ago about, you know, my personal ancestry. I think a lot of people get a lot of things misconcred when it comes to studies. See, studies has to do with, you know, who you are for yourself personally. You know, who you are specifically.
So when you understand who you are specifically, that means you should not be shamed or you should not be in the business of uh trying to be someone else. Fortunately, black Americans don't have that situation. We don't have that problem.
We don't have that that burden because we don't have the necessary need to even try to lie to even put up a lie or even to try to shape a lie. You understand what I'm saying? So to shape a lie means you got to tell another lie to tell another lie to tell another lie to tell another lie.
That's shaping lies. And and that's the problem. That's the real problem that we have today in the world. Everybody love alternate facts when they are not necessary and not needed, but they like them. They like to try to apply some things because it makes them sound or maybe feel or seem intelligent, but it makes you seem like a damn fool.
Period. There's no other way to shape it, put it, or really kind of you can't finesse that.
Lying is a bad thing. It's not a good thing. It doesn't make you it shouldn't make you feel superior because you have the ability to want to lie. So then when you feel the truth haunting at your ass when the truth is on your neck, some people get extremely belligerent, especially now that we know we've discovered the the the the uh Siberian uh conquest. That's what I've been, you know, pretty much going in on the Siberian conquest. So, the Siberian conquest existed of a few things. Fur trades. I've I've explained these things in a few books, but I also want to explain a few things in other books. Let me make sure my camera right on this side so when I show you things, you can see well. Uh, come on now.
All right. Here we go. [clears throat] All right. Want to make sure we got we got good we got good vision. You know what I'm saying? So, all right.
[clears throat] But when it comes to I want to read you a few excerpts out of this book. I told you I was going to tell you about hidden hidden uh Oh, can y'all see this on Hey, hidden cities.
Yeah, the hidden cities. Y'all see it up here on YouTube. Hidden cities.
Yeah, the hidden cities. This the hidden cities. the discovery and the loss of the the discovery and loss of ancient North American civilizations. I wonder why they say that because that that goes against everything a lot of people uh so-called wanted to learn or tried to learn about what this place is. And you don't you don't want to know cuz you'll say, let me tell you, I've shown an immense amount of u uh my ancestry. I've I've shown screenshots, pictures, and you know, I'mma even get on YouTube and I'm going to show you again. I'mma do it again. And I'm y'all going to be able to see it on YouTube when when I do the shorts on Tik Tok. Y'all going to be able to see the [ __ ] I'm I'm going to do the same thing. But I just want to show you I just want to tell you a few things. This is since you're so familiar with the so-called recent past, the recent past. Let's talk about what Thomas Jefferson was European colonial stepped in the culture in which arises in the Mediterranean North Seas and happened to live in Virginia among more people from the continent of Africa than those like himself. Even after many [clears throat] were sold to do heavy work in the west still outnumbered the whites in 1800.
Let me explain something to you.
There are probably still, despite a hideous consequences of recurring plague, more Indians in the United States than there were people of European descent.
As of thoughtful man, Jefferson was forced to reach some conclusions about the nature of people dissimilar in appearance and the traditions from himself.
He did so in assessment of blacks and did not alter much throughout his life.
Jefferson's prejudices ran deep. Nothing could persuade him that blacks could exhibit talents equal to those of other colors of men. And then it was impossible to find his asserted a black capable of tracing the comprehending the investigations of you. Listen, later he went as far as to acknowledge that the mathematics and survey of Benjamin Banaka might have mastered the trinometry but derived Banaka's letter are very childish and trivial through Philip Wheatley's version went into five editions praising by Washington and to describe the volunteer as polished. Jeff Jefferson could not bring himself to call her the poet. When Abby Gregori compiled a list of blacks showing genius, Jefferson dismissed him as crucialist and sought to find an inferious of white blood to explain any example of negro genius.
So that's what I discover now. Like it doesn't matter what you tell any person that has literally have their heart, mind, and set on who the hell they think they are. You can't tell them nothing when they believe something.
They ain't got to know [ __ ] They just want to believe. They don't got they don't have to know a damn thing that's true about. They just want to believe.
And that's that's that's a that's a sad situation, but it's exa it is absolutely true.
you know. So, I was Oh, mom. I was reading I was reading a great deal of information today. A great great great great deal of information today about a lot of things, you know, uh to rouse the bound city.
Let me h All right. All right. All right.
Let's get into it. All right, let's get into the show. I had a long, you know, uh, prelude. Anyway, let's go. Let's go.
Let's get into it. First and foremost, history shapes identity. Every community has a right to study his ancestry and preserve its heritage.
That's fine. The purpose of this is to discuss and explore how history, census, consensus, records, and government classifications have influence how people understand themselves.
Identity and selfdefin when you can define yourself. What a privilege, right? As so everybody else have had. And then when the the indigenous black American or the black American says, "Oh, well, I just want to discover me and to find what what what what have I been up to for the past 2,000 years for real?" Because there's so many clues. There's so many there's so many stories. There's so much evidence.
There's so much me.
Damn. [clears throat] What is Why is identity important?
Why has historically had the power to classify populations?
Can governments redefine people on paper and while families preserve different traditions and memories?
How do oral traditions, genealogy, documents, and DNA each or RNA uh each shape contributions to re understanding ancestry?
Because it's a big situation. And that's why it's a extremely big situation. See the problem with when it comes to water down people. They want to water down everything. They'll water you down. They want to make you act watered down. Make you act as if what you have done and everything that you have discovered was only a preservance to their greatness.
That's so not true. That's hijacking.
That's taking. That's stealing. That's that's that's theft. That's that's annihilation. That's destruction. You didn't do anything.
But since you get the nerve to try to do something that even halfway distributes a a speck of genius, I have to deter mine and act like my genius ain't here and don't exist. Those days are over. You know, we just got to put you to bed. You get put to bed.
Whatever's best comes out on top now.
That's just the way it goes. It always is like that. You can never suppress a people and think that you will let let they will let you make them be like that. It's crazy insane. Let's keep discussing black American contributions.
We have never been a lay down people.
Let me show you how. Because we know two things.
We know two things.
We've always reviled.
We also know what you came here for.
We knew what we had. We would walk around and go. You think we don't remember that? You think we don't have dreams and aspirations and understandings of who of who and how we were and operated? Are you serious? Are you crazy? Does that make any sense to anybody or anything? It should not. It can't. It can't possibly make any sense.
It's impossible. Make sure my audio working.
Make sure my audio work. Let me go with the built-in output, too. Make sure we cooking good. Anyway, we should be straight. So, check this book out, ladies and gentlemen. God glory. Oh, I got to get it to my camera. What the hell? It don't even work. That's why I like having backgrounds up in here. And let me see.
Hope y'all can see that. H.
I know y'all can on YouTube.
For God, glory, and go.
Mhm. talking about a manifest destiny with a sick mind and then you should discover black rebellion eyewitnesses major cars of slavers Gabriel Pa Journal the maroons the mark VC the Haitian revolution armistad mutiny creole mutin and the stone rebellion you know what I'm saying they they tried to man uh this this book covers a lot of ground about you know with the boy. The boy Daniel Adola, whatever his hell his name is, go sit up there. You slow it down and you got what the hell you, man. You do dirt bag. I mean, seriously, adio or whatever the hell your name is, man. You are the most uh uh castrated, stripped down version of a of a being that's black that it could ever possibly be. Look at you and look at how you have ever came across to anybody, even in the movies. cuz you play you can't you you didn't do a good good job at playing Bass Reefs cuz you little and you a punk like stop man get the hell out of here.
Uh so the thing is like people have a very strong misconception and there's a there's a whole lot of u reverence given to people that don't even know their own identity and they should understand what happened to them so they can get you know go get their reparations from Putin. Oh here we go with my Here we go.
Oh goodness. Here we go. Here we go with Tik Tok. I love Tik Tok shopping and everything they got do. We on YouTube and so we uh we ain't trying to uh cause no problems. I'm saying but I'm just saying like look here man.
Look at let's be for real.
The whole world [snorts] share DNA and the most dominant DNA globally still exist. That doesn't mean we don't share DNA. I mean, I got a percentage of um European in me, but does it mean it's is is this the European that you think it is, or do you have the the blood that you know? I mean, come on. You have to think about things way more abstract than what your mind is allowing because you're you're stripping away your own identity when you're taking away that we don't we don't procreate together or something. Like, let's be for real.
Think about the equations. Think about the uh think about your own construct.
Think about how you and what your abilities are able to do.
So, but let's think about this too. When it come to black American contributions, you have to think about agriculture and farming innovations, music, music, traditions, blues, jazz, gospel, rock, hiphop, R&B, worldwide influences that influence the whole whole world by way of just music and harmony. And that's that's also me and reflections. But uh then you have u you got literature and education.
You have uh military service, scientific innovation and inventions. You have entrepreneurship, civil rights leadership. You have fashion language popular culture that held that have the global influence. And also even from the old kingdoms, if you think of Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and all of those things, those were patterns of the royals and those were the black royals. If mind you, just being honest, people don't understand and know these things and they take they take these things as if the reason why certain reason why black people have a thirst for certain nice things because we already know what we are adjacent to. And when you know our history better than when when when when certain people know your history better than you, they know how to put out certain patterns to attract you due to because they know how you function. They know so in order to lure you in, you have to purchase because there's it's like a blood. It's like it's they they put it out. You know what I'm saying? This is they they they understand uh propaganda.
They understand what you will pay. You understand how back in the 90s when I grew up, you know, they used to um un alive people for a pair of tennis shoes they won. That happened in the US. I'm glad we matured. I'm glad that people are not out here chasing how to uh un alive and destroy people and they're trying to, you know, u basically um get paper for themselves. And then some people that get paper for themselves, they start understanding who they are for themselves and that makes a better person. So maybe it's sometimes a person needs to alleviate their own pain or alleviate the pain and understand and appreciate who you are. And if you take time to understand and go back and forth to understanding who you are, that makes you a better within yourself. So money is not the root of all evil. It's not the root of all problems. It's the it's it's a solutions based depending on the mindset. It's all everything act results back to you as an individual and a person. It has nothing to do with something that can free you, hurt you, kill you, beat you, annihilate you, build you, make you better, reconstruct you, what have you.
But you can't put it on the subject or you can't put it on the substance. You can't even put it on the product. You have to put it on yourself. That's kind of how it goes. So [clears throat] the power, we're going to go to the next subject. You know what I'm saying? The next what moment is the power of classification.
See, you question your worth by exploring this. When you think about these certain things, how did census categories change over time? Why are terms like colored, negro, mulatto, black, and other labels used differently across different periods? It's because you can disassociate a people, disoriented people, uh, uh, remix of people and keep them moving, shuffled, buffled, and never understanding. You know, if you do so much of that, they'll never, uh, have a a relic or relinguish anything because you think you making them lose everything. But sometimes people hang on to everything that they got. And you can never make them lose who they are because they hold on to it nearly and dearly. Just like when someone else come from another foreign land and they they come over here and say mom and daddy whoever the reason why I left home I'mma come make it but some of them make it and forget about they they become American all they get amnesia some people you know that's not all some people take care of their people back at home some people you know it's a whole lot of things that you know um people are able to escape from but they don't pay no reverence no homage to the black aboriginal that went through it all. And then we get told, "Well, you can't be Aboriginal when you got uh a kinky hair."
What book you learned that of? Who taught you that?
Blacks are are the most Aboriginal people globally of [ __ ] all time. I mean, so let me let me let me do a little better job of sharing some material again. I got see this real right real and we going to go back in history and uh go Let's just be clear. They don't believe [ __ ] thing as fam can always uh you can always show people, you know, better than you can tell them.
Can always show people better than you can tell them. So, let me uh let me see if I can do this. I want to tune you.
You'll see. Like I said, you'll see it later shorts.
Um, damn. Escape.
I want to share. See?
All right. Let me see if I pull it up.
Oh, yeah. So now you see this window is being shared.
Damn. Let me see. Yeah, here we go.
[sighs] All right, let me see here. Let me go back to go back over here.
Let me go back here.
Share this screen. Here we go.
I don't know why it's doing this like this, but uh All right.
I'm moving on slow. Maybe it's doing a little scan or something back here.
Uh, get out of here. They doing some funny [ __ ] right now. But anyway, let's go here.
Can't scare the screen. But it's okay though. We ain't even worry about that.
I showed you.
But let's keep going and uh going through the times because I got some uh more reading to give you too. Uh especially when it goes back to uh these uh if y'all really want to know some some truth, you got to read between the line. But check out the Indian wars. So this would tell you the story of the Siberian Huskys like throughout. So I mean it literally talks about the Anglo Pahhat Wars and everything and about how the British British established Let me let me explain something else to you too. Let me let me hold on hold on one second my people. Hold on one second.
How long we got in here? Okay, let me first of all like I told you um indigenous identity cuz I got to reach this point you know the diversity of indigenous nations across North America the different understandings of an ancient of of ancestry among various communities and how tribal civilization or tribal citizenship genealogy archae archaeology and historical records intersect and Why question identity remains important today? This is why.
It's why because you have invaders and the two people that beat their head so hard and you can read these stories for yourself. They beat their head so hard on being from the continent of Eurasia. And what you did is flank the the the the indigenous aboriginals of America that had already beat you to the whole game.
And your whole thing was to take that wonderful civilization out. That's kind of what you did, right? Like I can read everything all day, but you have to admit that what you did and how you did it. And the reason why you did it is because you're a cold-blooded liar. Like you coldbloodedly tell unadulterated tales about [ __ ] And and and and you you really do go hard on people that look dark like as if you you you you came there before them. Like that [ __ ] is cra like that's like I'm really I'm really disturbed with that because no land mass began with your pale ass. That's for real. No ma No land mass began with your pale ass. know where I did, but we know where you came from. And then when you when I when I explain to you where you came from, you get real angry, hostile even.
You know, this one this one cat alluded to sexual uh acts and being disgusting.
I'm like, that's that's like un that's extremely unmale unmanly. Extremely not even maleike at all. And unmanly.
And you call yourself trying to challenge me on principles, who I am as a person, who you are as a person, you know, your royal nature. You would never subject yourself to calling me names, being a disgusting peasant, [sighs] disgusting being, and you would never result in calling me uh these the disgusting. That's how you would know who you are, cuz you're a disgusting person when you do stuff like that.
You want to demean someone else because they know who they are and you don't know who you are. Because if I tell you you you you you you kind of not telling the truth about your whole origins. You can't have a origin of two places.
That's why Africanamean is extremely ridiculous. I agree. That's why I can't claim it. Does Does that mean I hate Africa? Oh god, no. Are you serious? Why would I hate any melanated person on this planet? And I think that's another big misconcred notion that even Africans have. Africans just have to understand you don't run nothing.
You don't you never have. You can't. And that ain't your position anyway to run nothing. The hell you think you is? How the hell you get to come and do the work that we done over here and taught you about you, know about you better than you, and you still think you get to run something? sit your ass down somewhere and go get and go get a learning. Go learn something. Go get a let me teach you a lesson.
But first, you need to sit down and take notes and get your ass out my face with all that disrespect.
It's It's uncandy. It's disrespectful.
And you ain't did enough to sit up here and come up to my face and act like you can.
Back off, little boy. Let's be clear.
You ain't got it like that. So you don't like learning lessons. You want you think you in a position to to to to put yourself above somebody. Well, you're learning different lessons now.
Cuz if you can do that, you could you you everything that you walk around in in North America right here. Yeah. That Yeah. You you bet your ass we built this [ __ ] Whether you be FBA, American Indian, indigenous American, if you go on this side of the game and you know who your people is and where they from and all the territory where they from and know that everything yours anyway, you will never have a problem building up your goddamn homeland. No matter who the dirt that's building it, because that's what we had to go through.
We ain't never asked to go back to no damn Africa cuz it ain't where we come from. We just so happen to deal with our unfortunate situations and fight our asses up out of it.
That's called real people.
That's called champions.
And y'all can't never deny that. Not not not no other kind of people. Not white, no black, no nothing. You can't deny who the the champion that built itself out of nothing. You damn ain't nobody ever gave us nothing. But you damn sure came over here to put your foot on somebody neck though. You damn sure came over here to cosplay. Your damn sure came over here to do something to us. Your damn sure show came over here to take a job. Your damn sure came over here to not do [ __ ] to help us. Your damn sure came over here to say, you know what, I don't like them and I want to colonize, too. So, the whole world has participated in colonization.
So why have I've never tried to colonize you? I'll teach you, but I ain't never colonize you. I said learn you for you, but I ain't got to colonize you. What you want to do? Colonize somebody. You want to break somebody down. You want to take someone's dignity, humanity that you still want to do it, you do it now. You still do the same [ __ ] acting as if you're not doing it. You do it now.
So, who's the real one? Who's not? It damn sure cannot be you. You don't have that title cuz you're not you're not fit for it. Talk about who and what you are, man. Get the [ __ ] out. Get out. So, let's talk about this right here. Let's talk about why does American music influence nearly every nation?
It's the rhythm.
It's the swag.
It's the ability to function under pressure and move without even seeing nobody.
But you see me. But check this. while black America's language, fashion, sports, and entertainment copied around the world because everybody picks from it but don't want the connection to it. It's like a goddamn clothing rack like it always have been.
It's like uh give me that version of what I I like this what they do. I like and I can incorporate that. Where's my color? I can uh uh uh you know get this to where I can I like this. Yeah. Uh, but it comes off our coat rack. This [ __ ] crazy. So, what you know what responsibilities come with cultural influences?
I mean, [ __ ] none. Because what people do is they take the part of the culture that they want out of it and they leave the rest. So, that makes you with an empty culture because you don't know the story behind it. You don't know why the fashion exists. You don't know what influenced the the the the actual artist. You don't know what influenced the actual maker of the product. So if you don't know these things and you just look at culture and pick it off the rack, what connection can you have with that? There is no connection. There is no balance. There's no there ain't [ __ ] you got with that.
It's nothing.
So people want unity instead of division.
You can't have unity because there's always been division. Why? Because there have been a division of resources. There have been there has been a division of of uh yeah just [ __ ] resources. You you divide the resources. You keep the resources and you want something that you don't care to pay for. Just like everything else in America, people want [ __ ] they don't care to pay for. You want influence. You want uh you want uh clout. You want uh you want information.
Uh you want your you you know what I'm saying? You want the experience but uh after that you don't want to contribute [ __ ] But you say well [ __ ] that's for that should be for free.
Oh [ __ ] So the sacrifice and efforts that was done before you was able to even be subjected to this that wasn't free. Just to let you know. So who has the authority to define your identity?
You do.
Can official records tell only part of a family story? No, it tells a [ __ ] ton of it actually because then you get to know who's your family.
And and and fortunately in America, you know, we were really close net at a point in time to where, you know, families stuck together, stayed together, you know, and in their turns prayed together. So you can't, you know what I'm saying? They they they had this type of specific unity where everybody knew who everybody was. That's how you can produce a green book. That's how you can produce. That's why everybody had the same. See, in America, we had the same lingo at the same time. When you say, "Can you dig?" Uh, "What's up?" Oh, or this. All that [ __ ] wasn't global.
Before that was TV. Our customs, everything about us, it was the same.
And and but the one thing that's that's that's RNA. That's the things that you have within yourself. That's the return of who you are. Those are those are the things that they say is junk DNA. It ain't junk. It's your survival.
is what make you comfortable. It's what make you youu again. It's what make you tethered to the land. It's what make you be able to make something out of nothing.
So the problem is when you got these uh Siberians that call themselves native and and things like that, they don't have the same cultural traits that can do everything from Mississippi from to Tulum um to uh uh you know they got parts of simino simino culture in Mexico today because they have a shared history of defense and they still long my brothers and sisters over there in Mexico right now to this day and they hide these people.
But Mexico was much nicer. Some of the black players went to go play for Mexico in the World Cup because they was much nicer and they was more forgiving. They was much loving. So we really have to understand that the people that come to the Americas and they try to spend time and be American, these are what you would call uh not so good people all the time that come to the Americas. They not like that. I promise you they ain't good because the people that I've met in other places, I've traveled the world.
I've been all over the world. I've been in places in Europe and in Spain, I was in and they whole thing like, yeah, he's beautiful guy. Some guy. Oh, this beautified like hey yo in the Marine Corps. That guy is gorgeous. Hey man, you know what I'm saying? He's be these people that you're an American. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So these are things that happen Kosovo 99 Italy been to uh Palm Spain had a good time. I mean that was during the European holiday when you got all see all these cultures like exploding you know everybody go to Spain you know and this this the just white folk this was black white you know but they did have a lot of uh what you would call African prostitution uh yeah in road to Spain and in in Palm Spain and it was a lot of lot of prostitution shitload of prostitution in these areas you know what I'm saying But you know, people had to go go for what they know. You know, that's just what it was. But the thing is, um, what they did teach me, what they taught me about my history, they knew I was different. They One lady told me, "You you you're a beautiful American black boy." She didn't say I was African. She just you're beautiful. So I was like, "What the fuck?" Like she it's cool. Like she know I'm a little different. Whatever.
But the crazy part about it is knowing your history is about understanding yourself, not diminishing anyone else.
When people study their family, their past honestly and respectfully, the contribution to a fuller understanding of American story, pride is your heritage and your coexistence and respect for other heritages as well because you're tied to them.
There is always a link that's going to link us together and that's also should be a lot of you pale complexed humbling equations because when you are humble you can understand that maybe you are the one that should understand that everything comes out of the darkness.
When you plant a plant doesn't have doesn't have a seed. Everything grows out of darkness. Even us isn't a mama's womb out of the darkness.
Don't they have to use light to see it through the skin? But that baby is in dogs and sand. You have to think about the equations and the perspectives that you want to, you know, make up for yourself.
You have to be real with you for a couple times or two to be quite honest with you, man. I mean, come on, man. I mean, you got to you got to you got to be you got you got to do a little bit better than what you do because uh just to leave you with this.
Just a thought, indigenous identity, the diversity of the diversity of indigenous nations across North America are just that extremely diverse.
And just because you learn something that some of y'all ancestors are liars and thieves and destroyers and it's proven because you still live in those same regions and areas and have the same practices.
Let's be clear. So, um it's funny how you see who they got on the front of this book. You see, you see you see these Siberians. Yeah. They know that. They know what they doing. They know exactly what they doing because then you get to see a person that's in my damn DNA.
They existed too.
