Favors delivers a sharp, necessary deconstruction of how racial categories were engineered as tools for economic control rather than biological reality. It is a compelling reminder that modern inequality is not an accident, but a deliberate legacy of historical power structures.

A Lesson for the Whytes & A Question for UsAdded:
Down, down, down, down.
She got a message for the people. A brilliant mind and a clean soul. She's standing up to the evil and making sure that we all grow strong enough to break these chains we keep us in this painful condition. She give us truth and division. That's why we listen. She break it down down.
>> Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Welcome back.
Welcome back. You are listening to Larie Daniel Favors on SiriusXM's Urban View where talk empowers and becomes action.
I have a question for what people today.
But before we get to the question, I want to share about a little bit about what's happening around the world. We have been talking a little bit about Ebola. We should be talking way more about Ebola. There are some questions about who's robbing who blind. And and then there's this campaign that's taking place, the out-of- bounds campaign, where the uh NAACP are asking uh athletes to consider not going to any of the SEC schools. Do not take your your gift, skills, and talents, otherwise known as slave labor. Do do not take that to uh the Confederate States that are taking away rights from your people.
And and I would like to conclude today's conversation with a question for the whites. Although I might not have quite enough time to get to the question for the whites. So, for those of you who really want to hear what that question is, if we don't get a chance to cover it in today's podcast episode, I dedicate the entirety to the conversation about white people, what's going on? Like, do you really have to be like this? You probably don't. And interestingly enough, I'm not even using black generated content to do it. I am using a clip from a white woman. Well, she's not really white. She's Polish. And she identifies the difference between being Polish and being white, which is forming the basis of the question I have for the Watts today. So, hopefully we'll get a chance to get to that. If not, we'll make sure that it's there. it is already in the podcast so you'll be good to go.
Let's talk about Ebola. Uh very very serious disease. The current strain of Ebola that is spreading right now does not have a vaccine and does not have a cure. According to the NPR in Bunia, Congo, the head of the World Health Organization is expressing concern over quote the scale and speed of an outbreak of a rare type of Ebola known as the and I'm going to mess this up y'all. I'm trying but my tongue is colonized. uh bundu strain in eastern Congo where authorities report 134 suspected deaths and more than 500 suspected cases. Uh the virus has spread undetected four weeks. That's going to matter in just a minute because there should be a we should be asking ourselves why was it able to spread four weeks. That's not usually what happens when with an Ebola virus. Usually you catch it within a person or two or three, maybe five, 10 is considered Whoa. But you got 134 deaths and more than 500 suspected cases for a strain of Ebola that's been spreading for weeks and we're just now hearing about it. How did that happen? I bet you. Wouldn't it be crazy if Elon Gay Muskrat has something to do with this [ __ ] Oh, and he does. He does. I'm not even going to hide that ball. World Health Organization director says NPR quote General Tedros Adhanam Gabrius I apologize sir uh said he was quote deeply concerned about the scale and speed of the epidemic and pointed to the emergence of cases in urban areas the deaths of healthcare workers and significant population movement. The World Health Organization has declared the Ebola outbreak to be quote a public health emergency of international concern. I as I understand it and according to the reports that is the highest level of concern that the World Health Organization can have and as a result it requires a coordinated response. Now what's interesting about this is I just mentioned Elongated Muskrat and I know some of y'all thinking she love hating on Elongated Muskrat. Why she always got to hate on elongated Muskrat. I'm going to tell you why I got to hate on people like Elongated Muskrat because of things he said like this. Let me share my good screen so you all can see it because I don't believe and y'all not hearing and seeing it for yourself. Let's hear elongated Muskrat as he talks about Doge and Ebola.
>> So for example with uh USA ID uh one of the things we accidentally cancelled very briefly was Ebola Ebola prevention.
I think we all want Ebola prevention. So we restored the Ebola prevention immediately and there was no interruption. Um but uh we do need to move quickly uh if we're if we're to achieve a a trillion dollar deficit reduction uh in in financial year 2026.
requires.
>> He did not achieve a trillion dollar in financial reduction. He did not even achieve a good solid billion dollars because he's a lying ass [ __ ] liar who lies. And when he was a part of Doge, they did not reduce anything. In fact, the American government spent more money as a result of what Doge had done than they would have had they just left [ __ ] alone. But that's what happens when you put WIS in charge of your environment and in charge of your decision-making power. And when he says that the money that they canceled for Ebola was put back, it was not put back.
Surprising no one. And in fact, when they canled entities like USAD, USAD would have been the entity that was in place to have caught, it would have been the group that we would have looked to to catch this news of the spread of the virus when it had one, two, three, maybe less than 10 people. But because USAD got cancelled, in addition to hundreds of thousands of people who would be alive today, no longer being alive because of the supports that that entity used to be providing were cut by people like Elongated Muskrat, a billionaire who quite frankly I remember in the good old days of bad Twitter when Elon Gate Muskrat posted some [ __ ] about how if I could solve world hunger with a couple billion dollars, I'll happily do it. And I've got a couple billion dollars, I'd do it. Do you all think I should solve world hunger? If you all vote yes, I'll do it. And everybody voted yes. And that [ __ ] walked away from the entire conversation. Never to be like if I'm a billionaire. Well, granted, if I were a billionaire, I'd probably be evil. I've yet to meet a non- evil billionaire. I I've never I've never met a billionaire to be clear, but I've yet to see the impact. Well, no, no, no. Mckenzie uh what's the fairy godmother? Um Amina Mackenzie Scott. Mackenzie Scott who divorced an evil billionaire and as a result herself became a billionaire. She used to be married to Jeff Bezos. In fact, she's the one who helped Jeff Bezos get his little [ __ ] She's the one who helped Jeff Bezos get Amazon off the ground when Amazon wasn't much of nothing. And because of her genius, she he was allowed to create the Amazon that we know today. When they divorced, she got billions of dollars. She has been giving away goobs of money, demonstrating that I guess there are some good billionaires, but because hers came through a divorce, maybe that's why she wasn't as corrupted. I don't know.
Anyway, point being, he said he could he literally has the ability he Tom Styer, all these billionaires have the ability to literally eradicate world hunger. Do that [ __ ] But no, they want to go around toying and playing with people's lives because they're also eugenicists who don't believe that everyone who's on the planet should be on the planet. But you should know some things about Ebola.
And so I thought I would bring on another trusted voice uh to help us understand what's going on. And why the first voice you're going to hear in this clip is y'all's president. It's only because uh Dr. Freda is going to be talking about the president and what he is saying in this news conference. And then she's going to give us some information about Ebola that we all need to be aware of. Have y'all bought y'all masks yet? I told y'all to buy your mask. I got another shipment coming today. DON'T BUY THEM IF YOU WANT TO.
Larie gonna have a mask. Let's listen to Dr. Frereda as she helps us understand what's happening with Ebola.
>> Go ahead. Ebola. Ebola. You said Ebola.
>> Should Americans be concerned about Ebola?
>> I'm concerned about everything, but certainly am. I think that uh you know, it's been confined right now to Africa and but it's something that has had a breakout. Uh I could ask Bobby or Oz to say a couple of words about if you know.
>> An American has tested positive for Ebola and six other Americans have been exposed. I'm Dr. Frereda. I'll let you know about the Americans who have been exposed. I'll give you an update on this Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo. I'll remind you of why this particular Ebola strain is very concerning to me in an outbreak. And then I'll let you know what moves the United States is making to protect our public health. So, a United States doctor, a surgeon, has tested positive for Ebola while treating patients in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Six other Americans have been exposed. One of the Americans is actually the infected patients wife. She is also a doctor, an OBGYn. The infected doctor has been transferred to Germany where he is being treated. As of today, May 19th, 131 people have passed away from this Ebola outbreak and at least 513 are infected. This is the Bundy Booio strain of Ebola, which is not the one that has caused the majority of the Ebola outbreaks in the past. For this Bundy Boogio variant, we have no vaccine and no approved treatments. And so that is making this outbreak a bit more concerning, which is why the World Health Organization has declared it a public health emergency of international concern. Now, here's what the United States is doing. They have placed a travel ban on people who have been exposed in these countries with Ebola, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and South Sudan. And so if you are a non- US citizen, you are banned from entering the United States if you have been there and exposed within the last 21 days because the incubation period for Ebola is anywhere from 2 to 21 days. Meaning if you get exposed to Ebola, it can take up to 21 days before you have symptoms.
>> So this this one's an issue. This one's a real issue because unfortunately we don't, as you heard her say there, there is no vaccine. There is no treatment approved treatment plan. And I encourage you all, you can find more information.
Dr. Freda is dr.Freda R F R I T A. I encourage you all to follow her. She shares some solid information. But that's where we're at right now. And considering the World Cup is coming in just a few weeks, considering the United States also pretty much decimated its its CDC, there is like there's nobody who's actually a medical doctor in charge of anything at the CDC. We got Dr. Oz, but he's like off over in some ancillary areas. None none of the people who are making actual policy decisions are actual medical doctors. And so I hate to say we on our own, but America um yeah, you should be very concerned about this. Not because Ebola is necessarily here in this country, but because it has already spread and it's already in urban areas.
It's already in communities way beyond what the World Health Organization understood. We should just know that nothing like like we act like germs obey borders. We act like like the viruses listen to policy plans and policy positions. If you can breathe in and out air, you can inhale something from across a border that came here as a a variety of ways. We saw that with COVID.
I'm just asking people to be smart.
Between Hunter virus, which takes a good 6 weeks to show up, Ebola, which takes a good 21 weeks to show up, be safe. Keep your windows open. Fresh air flow is always a helpful thing. It's hot and summery right now. So, I know a lot of us got the AC blasting. Maybe keep a window open instead. And and keep fans flowing. Do what you got to do to be safe. And just be aware that there are things that we should be safe from, like your president stealing from us. We should be safe from the president robbing from us. We are not unfortunately safe from the president robbing from us. And there were actually Amina, let's play this first clip. Uh this is the president's financial disclosures. A a question being posed by a reporter about the president's financial disclosures showing a a lot of stock trade uh that he has promoted companies that he has benefited from.
And here how JD Vance responds, which is a complete and total non-response. But just take a listen. We'll do just part of this clip. I don't even want to do the full thing. Uh let's hear this exchange.
>> Thank Thank you, Mr. Vice President. Uh the president's financial disclosures were released recently and they showed uh a lot of stock trades in companies that he has talked up at events, official events at the White House, on his true social account. Uh sometimes even putting the stock ticker symbols in his posts and encouraging people to buy their their stock. Americans according to recent polling are increasingly see describing the president as corrupt and trading stocks.
>> This is a hell of a question.
>> Thank you, sir. Uh trading trading individual stocks is something that you said that public officials should not be able to do when you ran for Senate uh all those years ago. And yet the president who arguably has access to more non-public information than your average senator is not only buying and selling individual stocks either through his through his trust.
>> Okay.
>> Is it the question? The question is, the question, sir, is how can you and your administration argue to Americans that you're cleaning up corruption, you're preventing fraud, you're fighting the sorts of things that harm people and people's financial situations when the president seems to be talking up stocks that he owns, selling them, and enriching himself.
>> Okay, so here, let me let me let me answer your question here. That was a doozy. Before I answer your question, I want to just observe. There are different ways to ask.
>> We don't we don't care. We don't care.
We don't care what you want to observe.
All he wants to observe is how the question was asked and how the question was posed. He never actually answers the question. But he does say something that is quite a tell because you do remember that these people lying like they flying and in a plane that Shawn Defey is not driving. But I want you to take a listen. This is the actual this is a separate clip where he finally gets to the answer and then we're going to take just a pinch of time to to focus on what that actually means. Take a listen.
Number one, the president doesn't sit at the Oval Office on his computer on his like Robin Hood account buying and selling stocks. That's absurd. He has independent wealth adviserss who manage his money. He is a wealthy person. He has had success in business. He's not made making these stock trades himself.
And your question imputes that. It sort of it doesn't say it exactly, but a reasonable person listening to that question would assume the president is sitting around doing that.
>> We're all reasonable people. And we know it was a damn good question cuz y'all just took 1.776 billion dollars and used it to basically feed people who were traitors to the nation. Kind of like paying reparations to the Confederate soldiers. Yeah, that. But Rachel Matto had an interesting clip and we're not even going to hear the full clip, but I want you all to hear just some of the ways that this president has been robbing Americans blind and white people. I really want you to pay attention to this part in particular because after this we're going to unpack a few things that I have in terms of questions for all of you. Let's hear Rachel. Now, with each passing hour, we're getting more and more reporting coming out about how his stock buying as president tracks with things he's doing as president to boost the value of those stocks.
I mean, it's just incredible. So, in January, Trump buys hundreds of thousands of dollars of stock in Nvidia.
Then a week later, his commerce department approves the sale of Nvidia trips to to China. Also in January, Trump buys between 50,000 and $100,000 worth of stock in AMD, which is another chipmaker. One week after he buys it, his commerce department approves AMD doing business in China as well.
Following month in February, Trump buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell. Dell computers, right? Dell technologies.
Nine days after he buys millions of dollars worth of stock in Dell, Trump veers off script in a speech in Georgia to tell the crowd literally, quote, "Go out and buy a Dell computer."
Then in March, he buys up a whole bunch of stock in a company called Thermo Fisher. Repeated purchases of Thermoffisher. Jud Leum at Popular Information reports that Trump repeatedly buys up Thermoffisher stock and then he goes and visits Thermoffisher on a presidential visit.
And on this presidential visit to Thermoffisher, he praises the company repeatedly as an incredible company. He says as president that he wants other pharmaceutical companies to start working with Thermoffisher. He buys their stock and >> yeah, he goes she goes on and on and on.
It's it's a three-minute clip where they're talking extensively about all the things that Donald Trump has done to basically steal from Americans. And and and in when you consider that and when you consider the fact that in addition to stealing money literally out of your pockets, they have taken all of your health care programs and basically the the 400 hospitals that already closed down in addition to the hundreds more that are slated to close down. the the school systems that are being basically infiltrated by hedge funds that are looking at these voucher programs which end up every single time in every single state that passes them just basically helping wealthy people pay for their summer vacations because the only people getting the vouchers are the wealthy people who are already sending their kids to the vouchers. So they're stealing from the public education state funds to give to wealthy people vouchers that only they can afford to use.
Because if you get a $10,000 voucher but your private school costs $50,000, don't a poor or workingclass person have the additional $40,000 to meet the gap? But you know who does? A wealthy white who is already sending their kids to those school who can just use that $10,000 voucher to offset some of the cost so that they can have another vacation on somebody's yacht that you are not invited to. And when we add that to the fact that last year they took all of those resources so that they could give it to the billionaires. I am reminded that white people today you it feels like you're doing the same thing and I know that you are but it feels like you're doing the same thing that your ancestors did when back during the days of of the Bacon's Rebellion era when poor white people and black people and indigenous people came together to fight to overthrow the leadership of the colony of Virginia and yes there were some complicating factors there that I'm breezing past right now for the sake of brevity and this conversation but when that happened and when in the past white people who were poor and enslaved Africans or runaway Africans would collaborate and work together. It scared white wealthy people so much that they began implementing rules that would prevent poor whites and other people with whom they had a more of an economic alignment from collaborating and working together. You will have plantations where there were enslaved Africans and white or or should I say European indentured servants and the people who owned those plantations would work devilishly hard to keep the black people who they owned and the white people or the European people I should say who they were renting to keep them from collaborating, working together. They would have rules and laws and customs and mores put into place that would basically prevent any sort of this collaboration because wealthy white people knew what poor white people were too [ __ ] stupid to understand. And I mean that intentionally. And the reason you were too stupid to understand it is because your wealthier cousins who could afford education systems made sure that you didn't have any. What the wealthy white people understood was that if poor white people did not have a reason to reject working with the blacks, the indigenous and everybody else that they were going to naturally work with the blacks, the indigenous and everybody else because those groups of people had way more in common and they had interests that put them in opposition to the wealthy whites. And so Bacon's rebellion was one of those moments because they were almost successful. the ind the enslaved Africans, the indigenous people and the the the poor whites who are working together, they almost successfully overthrew the leadership of the colony of Virginia, which is the size of like three of the Confederate states today. And the what happened after that was that white people got who were wealthy got so scared that they began then using phrases like white and black. We don't see white show up in any legal documents until the late mid the mid to late 1600s because they were then beginning to recognize that you're going to have to tell the poor Europeans something in order to get them to agree with the system of free labor because your wealthier white cousins could have done back then what they could do now. They could hire you and give you a living wage. They got enough money to do it.
They could make sure that you have the ability to keep your farms. They could make sure that you have the ability to stay working in ways that would allow you to have a oneincome household and still be able to thrive. They could do that, but they don't because they don't have to because of your dumb asses. Now, when I say that, I say it with love. But what I mean is your poor ancestors made decisions and agreements with your wealthier ancestors that basically set us up for what we have right now. You you gave up your culture, your language.
In fact, I took notes on this video I'm about to show y'all. It's the video that I did in my podcast. you. They took your religions, they took your languages, they took your literacy and education, they took your homes, your cultural identity, and poor housing, but they gave you whiteness. And they said, "Listen, we're not going to pay you [ __ ] We're not going to hire you. We're not going to give you anything. We are going to use a system of free labor, which is in direct contrast to what you as a labor class need. But we're going to tell you about this thing called whiteness, and it's going to allow you to not be black. And because you're not black, you can never be a slave." And because your ancestors were so [ __ ] dumb, they fell for that [ __ ] because the alternative wasn't be a slave or be white. The alternative was be a human being who earned enough money to live in a system that everybody was earning enough money to live and where the Africans were never trafficked over here in the first place. Hell, you weren't here in the first place because this was the indigenous land. There's a white woman, I'm sorry, a Polish woman who goes by the name of Vendetta Effect who had a lot to say about this because she as a Polish woman had been observing what was happening online when another Polish woman says that she was not white. And a whole bunch of white people came for this Polish woman and said, "Yes, the freak you are white. You're like one of us." And this Polish woman who goes by Vendetta effect basically explains in this video, and again, I do I run through the entire thing in the podcast. I don't have time to do it right now, but she basically explains the difference between people who identify as Eastern European, who identify as Polish, Czechoslovakian, and all the other nations that are a part of the Eastern European or the Western European blocks. The difference between them and white people. It was riveting.
It was insightful. And it's something that I want to share with you all today.
Uh Amina, let's get this clip ready.
This will be the first one. We'll just run it much as we can. Let's take a listen.
>> You know, I saw a post today where like this Polish girl was like, "I'm I'm not white. I'm Polish, right? And of course, all these white people from the United States got their panties in the twist because they're like, "Well, I'm Polish and I identify as white, right? Because you're a [ __ ] American." Like, I don't presume to speak for all Eastern and Western Europeans. But I can tell you that majority of us when asked what we are, don't whittle it down like our identity to the existence of our [ __ ] skin color, right? And like what I hear as an Eastern European, when somebody's like, "Yeah, I'm white." I'm like, "Oh, okay. So, you're a moderately well- paid slave.
>> That That's what I hear. And to be a white supremacist is even more ridiculous because what? You drank the Kool-Aid. And like, at the end of the day, a slave is a slave is a slave is a slave. Even if you're one of the higher paid slaves, even if you're a house slave for that matter. And y'all really don't think that you're [ __ ] slaves.
But let me explain something to you.
What did the white supremacist or colonizer do to the [ __ ] slaves?
>> What did they do? They gave them a watered down version of Christianity.
What do you guys I'm a non-denominational Christian. What the [ __ ] does THAT MEAN? BECAUSE JESUS STARTED A CHURCH and that's not you don't even go to that. I MEAN, IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO BALLS TO THE WALL ON a monotheistic religion, at least do that [ __ ] right? What else did they do to the [ __ ] slaves? They took away their language. A lot of you guys cannot speak anything other than [ __ ] English. So, you think somebody who speaks broken ENGLISH IS [ __ ] STUPID. MEANWHILE, they speak three languages and you barely [ __ ] SPEAK ONE. AND YOU READ AT A FIFTH GRADE LEVEL in [ __ ] English. That's another thing that they did to the slaves. They took away their [ __ ] education. They took away their [ __ ] names. They took away their [ __ ] language. They took away their cultural identity and their roots. They deasculated the men in front of the women AND THE CHILDREN SO THAT THEY COULD DO WHAT THEY WANTED WITH THE WOMEN AND the children. AND WHAT THE [ __ ] DOES THAT SOUND LIKE IF NOT THE EXISTENCE OF MEN IN THE UNITED STATES of America? It also gave them scraps FOR [ __ ] FOOD, SHITTY living conditions, and an inferior form of [ __ ] healthcare that basically just kept them alive long enough to slave themselves TO [ __ ] DEATH. AND WHAT THE [ __ ] DOES THAT SOUND LIKE IF NOT THE ENTIRE EXISTENCE OF EVERYBODY IN THE UNITED STATES, INCLUDING [ __ ] WHITE PEOPLE? So yeah, as an Eastern European, all I [ __ ] hear when somebody says, "I'm a white person," or, "I'm a white supremacist is, "Yeah, I'm a very well- behaved slave, and I'm going to do anything NASA says to make him happy." And given what MEAGA and Republicans in the United States have shown us, that [ __ ] tracks. And honestly, genetically speaking, geographically speaking, and historically speaking, it's not accurate to call Eastern European people white because they're really [ __ ] not.
They're a little bit more spicy of the white people. Like just look at a [ __ ] map. Just look at a [ __ ] map. And please try to wrap your head around. Not every country that was created was created with genocide and colonization. Majority of countries that exist in the world are tribes that pulled together to create a [ __ ] civilization and preserve their cultural IDENTITY. WHERE HERE YOU ARE IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WHITTLING YOUR IDENTITY DOWN TO THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN WHICH DOES NOT REQUIRE ANY effort or preservation to to to exist.
>> Let's pause it there. Let's pause it there. She goes on and frankly she goes on it's there's two videos in that clip and I go through all of them in the podcast that the podcast is called the reakas it down that will be out later today. But the reason I thought that was so poignant is because white people once again you're being given an opportunity.
I don't know who loves y'all the way that that somebody must be the God of the universe that loves y'all to be giving you constant opportunities to re-evaluate and reflect on what it is that you're doing and how it is that you're doing it. She talked she just made a comparison that basically outlines the the foolish decision that your poor white ancestors I'm sorry your poor European ancestors made to trade in their religions. And yes, I know everybody is grad y'all y'all we proud to be American and white Christian nationalism but y'all used to have religions and faith not even religions spiritual practices that connected you to the planet. You did not always used to be the demons of the planet. You used to have connection. The leprechauns, fairies, uh uh squat, all these little things that that we kind of talk about now as like sort of pop cultural elements. Y'all used to actually believe that [ __ ] and have access to those things and you had connection to the planet. You used to be able to speak multiple languages because as she describes in the video before you all came here and gave up your cultures to be white and to get this, you actually used to speak multiple languages because you were part of tribes. I know we call France France, but France used to be a whole bunch of Normandy tribes. I know we call Germany Germany, but Germany used to be a whole bunch of Germanic tribes. I know we call these these nations the nations that they are now.
Nation states are very recent in the overall development of humanity. You used to be able to speak multiple languages. You used to have names and cultural identity. Now you've got no seasoning on your food. You've got nothing special or unique about you except what you steal and rob from black people. And there's and as she says later on in the video, stop making everybody else feel like they have to give up their cultural identity to be white because you think that you don't matter because you [ __ ] don't. She said it way better than I do. Way better than I do. And frankly, I know she doesn't sound like the typical white hot girl. She doesn't sound like the typical um uh a person who we would identify as white or Polish. And you can clearly see that she has spent some time amongst the culture, the between the nails and the way she affects uh her speech and whatnot. But white people, they're stealing everything from you again.
They're taking job opportunities.
They're taking your farms. And and here's the thing about it. I know that you all are excited about black people not having as easy a time of voting because of what the Supreme Court just did. I would like to remind you that before the 15th Amendment expanded the right to vote to anybody with a penis, you as a poor white man could not vote.
Y'all act like voter suppression started with us. Voter suppression started with making sure that the vast majority of white people could not vote because your wealthy white cousins didn't want you to. They didn't want you to vote because the more of you voted the more democratically the society became and they don't like that. They like Robert Baron [ __ ] You know how after enslavement when when factories opened up and the agricultural industry or sorry the agricultural uh revolution gave way to the industrial revolution.
Who was in them factories inhaling all that smoke, breathing in all that terrible air, working from sun up to sun down, but which was based on the slavery model? It was white people. And the reason y'all no longer have to do that is because when black people came into those spaces, they for for freedom. They fought for they a part of the union effort. Yes. But it was because black people were pushing them to fight for a working space and an environment that wouldn't expose you to toxic chemical goozoo that was going to destroy your lungs and everything else that was a part of your inhalation apparatus. I know there's another word for that. I just can't remember it at the time.
Well, how long are y'all going to do this? Y'all ain't got to do this. You could take steps to reconnect with your humanity. You could take some steps to figure some things out. It doesn't look like you're connected to that effort, but somebody loves you enough to be giving you another shot. And so, I hope you take it. I hope you take it. But I know you. So, I'm not going to hold my breath because I know you in the same way I said this in the podcast. In the same way that women understand patriarchy better than men do because we have to live with it. We have to exist with it. We know you. We know not to expect much, but you've been given an opportunity. Yesterday, electorally speaking, um, a lot of you made a lot of choices. Uh we have some election results that were quite interesting.
Shout out to a number of folks. Kesha Lance Bottoms out of Georgia made her way uh through the Democratic primary.
Nikki Porche who we've had on this show several times. Several several times.
She's amazing. Uh she is now in a runoff uh for the uh for the Georgia labor commissioner. Uh we've got John Oaf in Georgia who also did very well. A number of places where we saw uh there's this young brother in Pennsylvania who did extraordinarily well. Uh Sab is his last name. And we're seeing some real shifts and turns. And that's an amazing thing.
But white people, you could do better.
You don't have to be terri. You don't have to do this. And I'm inviting you to choose otherwise because we are learning more and more about our power and our collectivity and our ability to organize and navigate and to do the things that we need to do. And we are going to be better as a people before as a result.
Humanity is going to be better as a result of us navigating this moment that we're in right now. The question is, are you going to be a part of that? because it doesn't feel like you are doesn't feel like you're making the decisions that are going to put you in a position where that is what you can do. On the other side of the commercial break, I will happily take any calls from any of the righteous whitest or non-troll whites out there who have some comments about this. I also want to talk about what's been happening uh with this effort to get black athletes to boycott the SEC. We actually might do a fuller segment on that tomorrow because I'm just now watching the clock and realizing that I don't have the time to dedicate to that that I want to. But Urban View, we are going to talk about it, although I may have more to say about that tomorrow. But it's important that we recognize that who we are today, we are largely the products of the decisions and choices that were made before us. None of us are are just showing up on the planet as as whole beings right now. Our beingness and who we are is largely because of the decisions and choices that people made before we even got here. And so I'm encouraging white people to reimagine what your culture could be like. And I know those of you can do your you can trace your lineage. You can determine if you're Polish, if you're this, that, or the other. seek out what that was before you decided to be white. That frankly might be the only way that y'all escape your fate of being just some of the most awful, horrific proponents of of or sorry, being the proponents of some of the most awful and horrific cultural elements that have been known to humankind. You don't have to be a part of an awful, terrible, no good, very bad group. But you're doing a really good job of sticking with that. And I encourage you to reimagine what it could be like if you just connected with more white put quote unquote people like the young lady we just heard from because there's a lot of y'all out there same cultural heritage or same ge uh genetic heritage that are not choosing to embrace white supremacy. I don't know what this woman does and when it comes to her non-came time. I'm just saying the history is there. The information is there. You don't have to be evil. And if you choose to at this point then that raises a question for we the blacks.
What happens when they decide not to change? That's the part we got to think about. Not what happens as we move forward, but what happens when as they decide if they decide not to change, how does that shift how we respond? And why does our response depend on them at all?
What?
