Why Black Folks Are Quicker To Hold Dr Umar Johnson Accountable But NOT That Preacher

Added: 2026-05-04

[00:00:00]Now, some of them will say, "Well, Phil, you don't say nothing about the white evangelicals bringing Republicans to church." I don't care what white people do. Have y'all figured that out by now?

[00:00:09]I don't care what white people do.

[00:00:11]They're not part of my overall community.

[00:00:14]They're not. Why am I going to talk about what white people do? That's not my business.

[00:00:18]Or what Asians do, or what Arabs do. If they leave us alone, I have nothing to say about them.

[00:00:26]I don't. It's not my business.

[00:00:29]I'm talking about what we do.

[00:00:31]And what we allow, and who's siphoning billions of dollars every week out of the black community, and not doing nothing.

[00:00:41]Let me tell y'all something.

[00:00:43]Y'all more hardcore on Umar Johnson about that school than than than than than than that preacher who's been taking way more money out of out of out of black people's pocket than what Umar got for that school.

[00:00:58]If y'all would be on your preacher like y'all on on Umar about a school, we can get somewhere.

[00:01:09]Y'all know I have my criticisms of Dr. Umar on some things, but I'm talking about what's right. I mean, y'all He never He's never said he's a he's some religious leader or anything.

[00:01:24]But y'all y'all have more exposés on Umar Johnson and his life and what he's not doing than than that pastor in in in your community as that that you know he getting a bag and no exposés on him?

[00:01:39]The members are suffering. The members are asking, "Hey, can you help me pay a light bill?"

[00:01:44]"Ah, we don't do that at this church."

[00:01:46]Really?

[00:01:49]Pastor just got out of a uh uh E-Class Mercedes. What what what are you talking about?

[00:01:58]What you mean? He got a AMG out here.

[00:02:01]What you mean? What you mean? He he he we don't >> [laughter] >> He don't do that?

[00:02:06]That's how what we do at this church?

[00:02:08]Okay. A light bill versus that Mercedes he just got?

[00:02:14]All right.

[00:02:25]Well, Michael. Yeah, Michael, because they they think they think God is a joke, Michael.

[00:02:30]They Listen, you know, I told you they God is Democrat. That's they God.

[00:02:34]Democrat and the Boule.

[00:02:37]I've seen some of them. Lord, let me go there. Let me go there. I've seen some of them.

[00:02:43]Every time you see them and they they they in them Boule t-shirts.

[00:02:46]I'm like, "Bro, okay, you in the you in the you in the you in the organization.

[00:02:50]Okay, cool, bro. That's cool.

[00:02:52]Every time I look up you wearing a Boule t-shirt? I mean, what is this a gang or something? Like like you run around here with you know?

[00:03:01]And it it just trips me out. I'm sorry, y'all. I'm sorry. It just trips me out to see grown men I'm talking about grown men way past 40 up here doing these dances and hand signals like they some young college kid.

[00:03:17]That was cool when you was a young college kid. It's just my opinion. You don't have to like it.

[00:03:22]But I just think it looks ridiculous.

[00:03:24]And I laugh about it every time I see it. Like, bro, like, do you do you look at your picture?

[00:03:29]I see even the way some some people throwing them hand signals like look kind of Mhm.

[00:03:36]What's the word I'm looking for? I know the word I want to say. But it looks kind of what, y'all? I want y'all to tell me at times what it really look like. I'll never forget that picture I saw of Jamal Bryant and Boule Martin throwing them hand signals. And I look at that picture I was like, Mhm. Okay.

[00:04:01]Yeah, uh uh uh Eric, you know okay, Eric knows. Eric knows. Sorry, bro. I cannot be a part of no organization.

[00:04:10]Well, Mhm. Not me. No. No. No. I tell people I I'm the loner. I'm the renegade.

[00:04:17]>> [laughter] >> That's why people like, "I don't see Phil certain places." You probably won't. You probably won't.

[00:04:24]And when I do come out, it's a reason.

[00:04:27]It's a reason.

[00:04:29]I don't need to be everywhere at all times.

[00:04:32]I'm fine. And when I do show up, that's why when I say, "Hey, we going to be at the Ohio Black Expo." Understand, Phil showing up somewhere. So, hey, it's a reason for it. Okay, hey, we going to do our event in Toronto in July. All right, Phil showing up somewhere. It's a reason for it. Right?

[00:04:50]Phil's not just showing up to it just showing up places just to be seen. Be seen for what?

[00:04:55]I don't know you.

[00:04:57]Everything I do has to be strategic.

[00:04:59]Well, it's some angle. Better believe especially when I go to if it's a conference or whatever, it's an angle.

[00:05:06]I'm not antisocial. I like talking to people. I talk to people all the time.

[00:05:11]But I just don't like being in rooms where people be like, you know, it's like I guess I'm the type people think they important or oh, I know this guy. I know that guy.

[00:05:22]I'm like, "I don't care like who you know." Like, how does who you know benefit me?

[00:05:28]That's how I always think about everything.

[00:05:31]This person got Oh, this person Man, you want to talk to this person? They made $100 million last year. Oh, that's great. I'm happy I'm genuinely happy that they did it.

[00:05:40]But like, why are you so giddy about it? Did they give you some?

[00:05:45]They didn't give me nothing. So, I mean, that's great for them. I mean, if anything, I maybe I can ask them some tips.

[00:05:50]Like, "Hey, what did you do to get to certain points and get some you know, you know what I'm saying?" Or maybe you know, something like that. But outside of that, I'm not excited about it cuz it's not my money.

[00:06:00]I'm you know, and people could say, "Well, you know, I'm cynical. I come up." I don't I I guess.

[00:06:07]I guess. I just look at the grand scheme of things. I'm like, I only really focus on what I got going on and what's in my bank account. I'm not I can't focus on what's up somebody else's bank account.

[00:06:22]Yeah, see, Eric is right. He said, "The crazy thing is," he said, "they didn't need the fraternity or sorority to get where they are if they're led by God Almighty." Exactly.

[00:06:34]Exactly. I'm not in nobody's fraternity.

[00:06:38]Not a now one.

[00:06:39]I didn't go through nobody's humiliation ritual at all.

[00:06:45]Okay?

[00:06:46]And I believe I'm doing okay. I'm not where I want to be as of yet, but we getting there.

[00:06:53]Now, is it slower the path I'm going? Of course, it's slower.

[00:06:57]But you keep your soul intact when you go slower and steady.

[00:07:03]When you go with that fast way and you be part of these organizations you got to have a humiliation ritual and all these weird hierarchies and you got to kiss this guy's butt and you got to do all I just walk off. I'm like, "I can't do it."

[00:07:18]I just can't I'm not built for that.

[00:07:21]I'm not And maybe maybe I thought about it because when I traced, you know, when I did trace my uh the the lineage that I have prior to the slave trade, right? I'm talking about that goes all the way back to West Africa when I traced that.

[00:07:40]It said part of the tribe that my people come from originally, they were renegades.

[00:07:47]They didn't like hierarchies and gatekeepers. I'm like, "Well, you can't really escape who you really are, right?

[00:07:54]Or what's in your blood?"

[00:07:56]I don't like it.

[00:07:59]I guess I have a thing about people thinking they're important.

[00:08:02]I'm like, "Bro, you you breathe like everybody else. You eat like everybody else.

[00:08:06]Like like you're not important, bro.

[00:08:09]Okay, you went to school. Okay, you you you did this. Okay, you worked in the government. Okay, you was a senator. You was a congressperson. Okay.

[00:08:18]You still not more important than anybody else.

[00:08:21]And when you were there to make you quote unquote seem important, what did you do for the people in those positions?

[00:08:29]I don't want to hear that you was a congressman and there's no lasting legacy for you. Like, what what bill did you get passed or you a part of to help the black community?

[00:08:38]I'm not impressed that you was a senator. Okay, when you was in the Senate or you still there, what law you help get passed that benefit the people? Then I'm like, "Hey, man, I respect that." Then I got Then you got my respect.

[00:08:51]But if you just there to be there or you signing on and voting for foreign wars, giving American dollars to to to foreign nations, and not not trying to fight to give no money to the black community, bro, I I don't have no respect for that. I'm not impressed.

[00:09:09]Just not impressed.

[00:09:15]And and and and uh uh Yeah, you right. He said Eric said it like when they announce the black billionaire. He said they like, "Yeah, it's like okay. I mean, this person billionaire.

[00:09:25]Okay, great. You know, like it'd be great to say he's a billionaire and this is what he did with his billions of dollars.

[00:09:34]This is what he did to help out the the kids and even the city he from. Even if he do it from the city he's from, right?

[00:09:42]Like like just you don't do it for Listen, all these black billionaires or so, just help the the place where they come from. They ain't got to be all over the country. Just the place they come from to make a lasting legacy.

[00:09:54]That's how you That's how you get respect. It was creating a lasting legacy.

[00:10:01]Cuz you can only spend so much money.

[00:10:03]So when they say, "Oh, this person a black billionaire." And a lot of times they announce that. I'm going to tell you why they announce that. Not cuz a black person is telling them to.

[00:10:10]They like to announce it to say, "See, we're not racist. Look, black people making billions of dollars in this country. Black people are are millionaires in this country." Yeah, but they can lose it all tomorrow with an accusation from a white woman.

[00:10:23]That cannot even be true. Look at Bill Cosby.

[00:10:26]Bill Cosby being accused of things from 40 and 50 years ago and old haggardly white women could go in court with no evidence at all other than I'm white and I say so and take his money.

[00:10:41]So that's why I say I'm not impressed even with a black billionaire because I know a white woman could snatch all his stuff like that by accusation. It's still that way in America.

[00:10:52]That's haven't changed.

[00:10:54]No evidence, no DNA. In a modern era, you'd be like, "Okay, he drugged you.

[00:10:58]Okay, what's the evidence?

[00:11:00]You got pictures? You got a toxicology report? You got his DNA from back then?

[00:11:05]Like what what what what do you get What evidence you got that Bill Cosby did this to you?"

[00:11:09]They come in there with no evidence.

[00:11:12]And they still get And the people that put the the prosecutor accusing and all that put Bill Cosby in jail, guess what party they were affiliated with, y'all?

[00:11:33]Guess what party were they affiliated with?

[00:11:35]The one that put Bill Cosby in jail.

[00:11:38]What party was that? I wonder. God, I I it it it I my mind went blank. Maybe I forgot. But what party put Bill Cosby in jail?

[00:11:49]I just want to know.

[00:12:04]So Democrats, shields, don't tell me nothing cuz this I can do in the words of Captain America, I can do this all day.

[00:12:11]I can. And I get great enjoyment out of it, too. It's like fun for me.

[00:12:16]It's very fun.

[00:12:27]It is so fun cuz it's too easy to debunk y'all. It's that I'm going to say I don't even have to do no hard work. I don't have to think. I don't have to do too much research to debunk y'all, shields.

[00:12:38]Cuz y'all think you're smart, but you're not.

[00:12:43]You're not.

[00:12:46]Because if you were smart, you would think a little bit more about, "Wait, let me not say this because of this happened. Let me not say that because that happened." But you're not thinking logically.
