Black Americans possess approximately $2 trillion in spending power, yet 97% of this money is spent outside the black community, creating economic dependency on systems that have historically discriminated against black Americans. When black Americans collectively boycott businesses and institutions that harm their interests, they can significantly impact the economy, as demonstrated by the NAACP's 'Out of Bounds' boycott initiative targeting universities that suppress black voting rights. This economic leverage represents a powerful tool for black Americans to advocate for their interests and achieve greater economic self-sufficiency.

White Woman Admits Black Americans Could Crumble The Economy If We All BoycottedAdded:
Hello everybody. I hope all is well with you. I am Dimmitri K and again I hope you're having a great day. Thank you for joining me here on the African Diaspora News Channel where you can find me uh Tuesday through Thursday 11:00 a.m.
Central time. Again, Tuesday through Thursday, 11:00 a.m. Central time. And of course, you can find me on my own channel, The Demetri K Show on Facebook and YouTube at 5:00 p. p.m. Central time, Sunday through Tuesday. 5:00 p.
p.m. Central time, Sunday through Tuesday. Today we're going to have another great conversation where we're going to be talking about a white woman admitting that if black Americans uh all boycotted, we could crumble this economy. Now, of course, we already know that, but she said it on national television on a wildly popular show called The View. Now, I saw that uh the view on Twitter, whatever it was, had posted a clip about the NAACP boycott.
We'll get into that in just a second.
And then I heard her say that at the end, her name is Alyssa and I was like, wow. Okay. So, we're going to talk about that today. King Noble, how you doing?
Hope you're doing well. Mike, nice. Hope that you're having a nice day. So, let's go ahead and get into it for the sake of time. As I said, I saw this particular clip on the view and I thought it was very interesting. But of course, it comes in wake of the boycott that the NAACP is calling for. It's called Out of Bounds. And I'll put it up here for you so you can see exactly what is going on.
This came from their website. So, it says out of bounds. We're calling for black athletes, families, alumni, and fans to withhold athletic and financial support from public universities in southern states attacking black voting rights. Okay. Hashtag out of bounds.
Now, it says, "Across the South, black athletes have helped build some of the most profitable college uh athletic programs in America, generating hundreds of millions of dollars in annual revenue. At the same time, several southern uh state governments are moving to limit, reduce, weaken, or erase black voting representation by creating new unconstitutional voting districts." Okay. Now it says you can't have one without the other.
Profiting off of black athletes while suppressing their vote is out of bounds.
Now if you see there um it's asking them to make a pledge right and it's telling them you know that to say I will not use my talent labor name and other things u you know to help enrich these institutions. So they have to fill out what they will do. Like one says delay commitments to targeted programs uh visit or consider H.B.CU CCU which they should be doing that anyway, right? But so they're asking these uh athletes to do that. Okay. Now, the question that came about um on the view basically said uh is it fair to pressure or put that kind of pressure on uh students uh to boycott and not go to these schools because as we've talked about here that um it could mean a life-changing opportunity for some of these athletes.
So that's what they were pondering. Now, before I show you her video, I also wanted to point out to like especially on the out- of-bounds thing with the NAACP, they say that black voting rights are in danger, but then they talking about black representation, right? So, the black representation is that of, let's say, the Congress people or whatever it is in that district. But now some, especially in Florida, are having a very heated debate because this white woman by the name of Debbie Washerman Schultz is trying to do this at a time when because of the Supreme Court decision in Cala that you're seeing southern states move quickly to try to um chop up and eliminate uh Democratic seats, many of them held by African-Americans. it's likely that the Congressional Black Caucus, the numbers in the Congressional Black Caucus are going to be much smaller uh in the next Congress regardless of what Democratic wins there are. Uh and I so I'm curious if in the course of doing these deliberations about this, if you had conversations with Hakee Jeff, with members of the Congressional Black Caucus and what they told you about the prospect of you going into a seat that has traditionally for the last three decades been held by an African-American. Yes, I I have I I am very close with my CBC colleagues and obviously close with with leader Jeff.
>> But did anyone in the Congressional Black Caucus say to you not to run?
>> No. None of them asked me not to run.
Okay. So, I wanted to put that in just briefly because again, the NAACP, the Congressional Black Caucus, they're all telling you that black representation, right, their jobs um are in danger due to this redistricting that has taken place. uh or starting to rather throughout the south when the Supreme Court uh decided uh via the uh Louisiana versus uh Cala decision that basically says that they cannot jerrymander due to race. Um so they're saying black representation is in danger. But as you saw Debbie Washerman Schultz who is now in the 25th district there in Florida, she's running in a um all well predominantly black district that has been that way for over 30 years. As you can see, she's a white woman. Now the man asked her, "Well, how does everybody else feel?" Hakeem Jeff, the CBC, and all that, she says basically they're good, right? They And then in the longer verse, she says, "Oh, THEY TRUST ME, THIS, THAT, AND THE OTHER." SO IT'S LIKE, "WAIT A MINUTE. I THOUGHT THAT BLACK REPRESENTATION WAS IN DANGER, but they're okay with a white woman leaving her district cuz it's now a little bit more u contentious to go to A BLACK DISTRICT. SO YOU'RE OKAY WITH THAT? SO, WHAT I HEAR IS YOU want these black athletes to not go to these schools and stuff so you can keep your job, but you're okay with a WHITE WOMAN GETTING A JOB. It's a lunacy. Okay, I just wanted to point that out. Now, let's get to what was said on the view by Alyssa Farah Griffin. Here you go.
>> In theory, I think it's a very good idea. Like, let's talk macro. If all black Americans boycotted any industry, it would the the economy would crumble.
arts, music, doctors, everything like that. Of course, that is a powerful way to protest, but it's putting in my mind too much of the onus on young people who did not create the problem that we're in. I see.
>> Okay, so I'm going to play that again so y'all can hear because it was short. One more time.
>> So much money.
>> In theory, I think it's a very good idea. Like, let's talk macro. If all black Americans boycotted any industry, it would the the economy would crumble.
arts, music, doctors, everything like that. Of course, that is a powerful way to protest, but it's putting in my mind too much of the onus on young people who did not create the problem that we're in. I see.
>> Okay. So, again, you heard her say that was on the view was Whoopi uh Joy and Sunny and uh some other lady. I don't know who it was and her. They were sitting there discussing this. Is it fair to ask these athletes to do that?
And she's basically saying, well, you know, it's not a secret that if black Americans were to all boycott, the economy here in America would crumble.
But again, that's not a secret to us. We already know that. We just won't do it.
Now, she did work for the Trump administration toward the end of his first term. She was like the communication something something. It's like a new uh role that he created. But I was like, that's very interesting. and she's only, I think, like 36 years old.
But even she knows that. Now, we always talk ABOUT HOW THEY STUDY US, RIGHT?
They study us as black Americans in every way, shape, or form. And they know the power that our dollar has. Right now, it says that we're close to realizing $2 trillion in spending power in the black community, but we give 97% OF THAT AWAY. WE don't give it away to ourselves. We give it away to everybody else. And you know, as they say in the nation, we are in a constant state of begging because when you give almost everything away, then you have to say, "Oops, I can't buy no food.
I can't pay my rent.
So, I need somebody to help me." But the real thing is, you big dummy. Why would you, and I'm saying this in love, okay?
Why would you give all your money away and then have to hand hold your hand out? As my daddy used to always say, we buy what we want and we beg for what we need. But if we would stop giving our money away, we could buy what we want and what we need. BUT SHE IS SAYING THAT ON NATIONAL TELEVISION, everybody knows apparently but us that they could if they just abstain. They being black Americans abstain from putting our money into this economy that has harmed us IN EVERY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM. WHETHER IT'S POLITICS, WHETHER IT'S BUSINESS, whether it's education, you name it. It has never been FRIENDLY TO BLACK AMERICANS.
BUT we like we at the club. Y'all know what club mean, right? WE JUST GIVE OUR money to everybody. So with that, we're going to explore some things. So I also saw oh and it should be said too that right now I think we have like 10 grocery stores that are blackowned in America maybe give or take some small ones but you know from what my research says about 10. We have some black schools but not as many as you know we could use and I know we got H.B.CU but some of them was at the helm of you know uh white folks named after white people under some white control. And there's some. My nephew works at a um all black school in California, right? Which is kind of rare, but so there's some, but there needs to be a whole lot more. Okay. Now, I was on uh Instagram not too long ago, and then people are kind of mad at me over a comment that I made, but this was what the post was. And this is from Baller Alert, right? So they said the receipts says every way Trump has hurt black people in this second term. Okay, 16 months one ledger swipe. So there's a whole bunch of slides, but this is what they summed it up to be. So it says DEI dismantled. Okay, now keep it in mind.
They're saying this is how Trump has hurt black folks in his second term. I'm here to tell you that black people are number six on the list. Number one is white women. Then it's white men, then as Latinos, then as Asians, disabled, and then black people.
That's the order. Okay. Now, have some black people been hurt with DI being dismantled? Yes, sure. But it's not us at the top. US FIGHTING AGAINST Trump or whoever it is. We're really going to be fighting for who? WE'RE GOING TO BE FIGHTING FOR WHITE WOMEN, white men, Latinos, Asians, disabled, and then us.
So, if you're last, what do you get for last place? I don't know. Maybe a poke in the eye. I don't want that. Okay.
Now, of course, they say black unemployment is up, which is true. It is up to the tune of about 7.4 7.3%.
We always know, no matter who's in office, black unemployment is always higher than everybody else. Now, it says uh black women pushed out of the workforce. And that is true. A lot of black women were pushed out of the workforce. But I wonder why they never talk about black men that were pushed out of the workforce or never got in the workforce, right? But they always want to try to put the black woman above the black man like he don't matter, right?
But of course, we know that yes, when uh Elon went in there with his Doge department, that's not around anymore, I guess, and they slashed a bunch of federal jobs. Yeah, a lot of black women uh got asked in that. A lot of black uh men, too. But uh a lot of that has to do with the high unemployment rate of black folks is due to systemic um discrimination, um some type of lack of education, right? Maybe you're not as educated to get some of these jobs. I'm just telling you what I saw. Um, and then with the federal government, it's because usually there's a higher concentration of black folks that work at the federal level.
And so when Elon went in went in there, yeah, that got rid of a lot of black jobs. A lot of black women worked there.
A lot of black men worked there, too.
But it was a lot of other people who lost their jobs as well. And the voting rights is gutted. Okay. Well, it's not gutted. You can still vote as a black person, right? A black voter, you can go vote. Nobody's stopping you from voting.
Now, the black misleadership's jobs, yes, they're in danger. And some would argue they maybe should be because you ain't been doing a damn thing for black folks, right? Okay. H.B.CU funding cut.
Yeah, that's true. But I always wonder where's the alumni? Why aren't the alumni putting money into these schools and a whole host of other things, right?
As you every time you look around and H.B.CU DCU is in danger of closing and bankrupting and you know sometimes they leadership you know dip their hand into the pot when they should. That's a different story. Okay. It's a Smithsonian attack. They talking about the African-American museum all that you know Trump is doing this that the other OR TAKING IT OUT did all this other stuff. Well we know that we didn't own it right is 50% private donation 50% federal government. So we didn't own that. They we we we were investors.
Okay. What else? Police reform revoked.
Well, that's on the federal level. Uh that Biden gave some protections, but only on the federal level. But we know that on a normal basis, it's the popo in the streets that's, you know, messing with black folks. It's rarely, well, I won't say rarely, but it's going to be more so police in the streets than border patrol or CIA or FBI or things like that. Okay? So, we weren't really protected at all. Uh, black immigrant pathways closed. Now, this is where I got in trouble with some people on the thread because they said black Americans, it says one out of five black Americans are in ICE detention center. I said black Americans are not immigrants.
Black Americans are citizens. So why you why are you labeling it that to just try to you know with the technology with people? So people got mad. Well, you know this that and the other whatever.
Okay. What else? Healthc care access narrow. Yes, there's some healthc care things going on, but it's not just us.
It's everybody. Civil rights, enforcement, and uh defang, whatever the hell that means. Okay, so I say all that to say, if they could take it from me, was it ever really yours? Now, this is honorable uh Minister Lewis Farhan, and he made this quote when he was talking about Kanye when them people took uh a good amount of his wealth, right? when he said some things and uh the honorable minister Lewis Far Khan, he gave a press conference if you will and he was talking about uh Kanye and Kyrie Irving when they were really messing with him.
And so he says that Kanye, I just have to ask if they could take all of that from you. Was it ever really yours? So I like this quote when I'm uh talking about us and the things that people keep saying, "Oh, they're taking this and that from us. They're taking the books off the school. They're taking this and they're taking that." Well, did it really belong to you? If they can take it, what belongs to you? What you own 100%. That belongs to you. That they going to have some problems if they try to take it, right? Like the museums and all these other things. If we have our own black museum with our own money, our own artifacts or whatever goes into these museums, AIN'T NOBODY COMING TO TAKE THAT. SEE, we're funding it. We're keeping it open. We're not on can you HELP US NOW? I KNOW THERE'S A LOT OF TAX DOLLARS AND THINGS LIKE THAT INVOLVED, BUT still if WE JUST STARTED THERE, PULL OUR MONEY INTO our own museums and schools and things, THEN WE WOULDN'T HAVE THAT SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT. OH, THEY KEEP TAKING STUFF FROM us and blah blah blah. And as I always say about the books, this is always going to be a point of contention to me. You crying about them taking the books out of the schools.
But if you ask these people about the books that they're mad about that Trump or whoever in the red states, whatever taken out of the schools, if you ask them, "Do you have that book at your house?" Well, no, I ain't got it.
You mean to tell me you ain't got the book at your house, but you mad that they taking it out to school?
See what I'm saying? So, like if you HAVE THAT PARTICULAR BOOK, WHATEVER IT IS, I don't care if the school CARRIES THAT BOOK OR NOT CUZ IT'S IN MY HOUSE.
I'MMA TEACH MY OWN BABIES, RIGHT? That's ownership. Okay. Now, let's get to a clip that I saw that I really love. You ready? Here it is. know that with the black man spending $20 billion a year, not setting up any businesses, not creating any industry, not creating any job opportunities for his own kind, he's not in a moral position to point the finger today at the white man and tell the white man that he's discriminating against him for not giving him a job in factories that he has he himself set up. IF THE BLACK MAN HAS $20 billion and these so-called NEGRO LEADERS ARE SUCH geniuses that they can integrate white restaurants and integrate white factories AND INTEGRATE FORCE THEMSELVES INTO THAT WHICH THE WHITE MAN HAS SET UP, they should use this same ingenuity to show the black people how to pull our wealth and set up something of our own. And then we won't have to force our way into his anymore.
>> Y'all heard it. that was Malcolm X uh who's uh had a birthday not too long ago, but he is basically like we're not in a moral position to, you know, stick it to the white man, you know, with all the money that he said 20 billion back then, right? That was the 60s, but we have almost two trillion now. But all the money we have and we keep giving it away and we talking about what the white man won't do and yeah, let's keep it a buck. The white man won't do, doesn't want to do. So, we're not going to pretend that that's not a thing. But what about what we can do, right? As he also talked about the Negro leaders, um they had us integrate into the white community and things like that. But it's like, okay, so if we had the power and the ABILITY TO DO THAT AND IT WAS HARD BECAUSE THEM WHITE people didn't want us next DOOR TO THEM, WHAT DID THEY DO?
THEY LEFT. WHITE FLIGHT. THEY WERE LIKE, we out of here. Okay. So, if we had the power to to WEDGE OURSELVES IN THERE, WHY don't we have the power to say, "HEY, LET'S BUILD UP WHERE WE ARE. WE DON'T NEED TO BE NEXT door to them. As my friend says, we don't need to eat their seasonless soup cuz they can't season.
Let's build up where we are. Let's take that back then 20 billion dollar and build up our own community because as we always have heard, especially from Dr. Claude Anderson, civil rights wasn't because they wanted to make us equal.
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad said that the slave master is not going to give equality to the slave because then now who becomes the slave? WHO BECOMES THE MASTER? SO THAT WAS NEVER GOING to take place. The civil rights movement was about them getting our money because at that time white folks weren't doing so well. But while we were segregated, we had our own things, right? You know, it wasn't perfect, but we still had our own things and we had each other. If you want to go buy a dress from Miss Glowadine, you know, up the street, YOU GO BUY YOU A DRESS FROM A BLACK WOMAN OR, you know, SOME SERVICES FROM A BLACK MAN OR WHATEVER IT IS. But then when integration happened, they didn't care about they they still don't want us next to them.
Integration was not about people.
Integration was about money. Y'all have seen a Kobe amount of times that clip that was published by the uh the Johnson's publishing company, how to sell to the Negro market. Y'all seen it where they said, "Oh, oh, you know, the black man, the negro, cuz they were still calling us that then, right? The negro, he likes the little hats and things that you buy, you know, and his wife, she likes to find dinner wear that your wife is buying." So basically it was a film to white people to get them TO ACCEPT BLACK PEOPLE, not people, but the money. It was in a nutshell SAYING THEY GOT MONEY TOO. I know they're black, they're negroes, but the money is green.
And then white people said, "hm, you know, we never thought about it like that. Black people got green dollars."
And so they pretended to like us, okay?
They pretended to accept us again.
Remember when we moved in, they moved out, okay? But by that time, we were just so buoyant about being able to move and and and that's the white people going to their little hotels and dip our feet into their pools. We're so excited.
But what we weren't seeing is the money, right? the money leaving our community, going into THEIR COMMUNITY, BUILDING THEM BACK UP, DILAPIDATING THE THE SPENDING POWER THAT WE HAD. And even in 2026, we are still having this conversation about us giving almost all 97% is almost all of our money away.
Well, as Malcolm X said, in a sense, we're still depending on cuz that's who we vote for the most now, right? Is the Democrats.
Well, Democrats, you know, will you do something for us? And even if you asking the Republicans, will you do something for us? And they're like, I mean, have we been doing anything for you?
No.
Right. But what do we do? WE GO AND VOTE FOR THEM ANYWAY. And we watch them DO WHAT? WE WATCH THEM DO EVERYTHING FOR EVERYBODY ELSE. THEY KNOW WE HAVE ISSUES. THEY KNOW we have needs. But again, it's called what? Benign neglect.
We can help the black community.
Instead of giving illegal immigrants Angelino cards and you know and in and New York City, they got a debit card because they didn't want to eat that food. So, Mayor Eric Adams at the time, he says, "Well, we're going to give them a debit card so they could go, you know, it's supposed to be some blackowned debit card something something, right?
Where they could go and get to the grocery stores in the bodeas and they can spend money there." I'm like, "Wait a minute.
How you come over here illegally, get help, shelter, and all of that, and they got food in there, I guess, and you don't like it. Yeah, this is nasty." And then the Democrats, cuz I was the Democrats, gave them a card to go buy the food they wanted to get.
So instead of doing that, they could have given black Americans that money, however much it was. I'm sure it wasn't just no $2. They could have gave that to us. They don't want to do that because it's benign neglect. Let's just keep acting like we don't see that they have issues and they'll continue to vote for us. don't have to do nothing for them.
But as that lady said, going back to her, black Americans, if they all boycotted, could crumble this economy. So if you think she knows that, don't you think all these other white folks and higherups and everybody, don't you think they know that?
Has it ever occurred to us that maybe the the party that we vote for the most, the Democrats, they got their marching orders, too?
Don't make them self-sufficient. Don't do anything for them. Because when you make them believe that they can be self-sufficient, then they don't need you. Along with being self-sufficient, then they don't give us all of their money.
You think about almost every corporation, every commercial, every it almost always come from a black American standpoint. Whether it's black American music playing in the background, whether they, you know, using some black American lingo or whatever it is, they're always appealing to us cuz they know that they have a loyal customer base that's going to always give them money. Even right now, you got the uh NAACP, Congressional Black Caucus. They're saying, "Okay, now um we're going to ask these corporations to help us send a message to the South or what?
You didn't say you didn't tell us to boycott THOSE COMPANIES." SEE, CUZ THAT WOULD BE THE RIGHT thing to DO. I MEAN, SINCE WE talking about it, RIGHT? THEY DIDN'T SAY, "HEY, BLACK AMERICANS, LOOK WHAT THEY'RE DOING TO THE VOTING RIGHTS IN THE SOUTH. Y'ALL SHOULD BOYCOTT THESE COMPANIES that uh support these schools." You know, like when you watch the games, you see their logos and all that all over the, you know, the TV, the field. They're not telling YOU TO BOYCOTT THAT CUZ THEY KNOW BETTER. CUZ SOME OF THOSE corporations also support the NAACP.
So they're saying um hello.
Do you think you guys could say something to the schools? Cuz they're um they're trying to endanger our jobs. It ain't about you can't vote. Okay, let's keep They're trying to endanger our jobs. Do you think you could put a little pressure on them since you sponsor them? And the last time I heard and check is they ain't heard nothing back from the corporations cuz them corporations like, man, beat it. First of all, I know you ain't gangster enough to even ask your people to boycott us because again, we giving you some money, too. And we study your people.
We know your people are amongst some of the biggest consumers here on all of the products that we sponsoring people with and they not going to not do that. Okay?
They're not going to not buy CocaCola or Pepsi or or stop ordering from Amazon cuz they ask 250 corporations to send a message. A lot of those we spend money with. They they know we not gonna do that. You know why? because they know we have been conditioned from back in the gap before the civil rights movement to just give everybody because why why are we so consumeristic? There's a couple of reasons, but one of them is being able to buy or drive or live next door to certain people. That gives us what? A sense of belonging, a sense of validation. See, I can drive the car that white lady is driving. You might not be able to afford no big body Mercedes, but I can drive it. See everybody and drive. Look at this bag. See, I'm one of those people, y'all. If y'all know me, y'all follow me. I'm not about to be giving these white folks no, you know, two, three, 400. Hell, I'm not going to give them $50 for no designer bag. I to me, I'm embarrassed to be running around with labels cuz I'm not advertising for these people because they don't put back in our community. Hell, a lot of them don't even want us to have it LIKE THAT. I TELL YOU ALL THE TIME, I have a brother who used to work for American Express.
They call my brother Mr. Black Card. And if you know, you know the black card is there. It's their crim.
He had one. Okay. And a lot of the rappers and black celebrities are like, "Oh, you got to help me get it." You know why they needed him to help them get it? Because MX was not giving it to everybody. In fact, they were like, "We don't want them to have it because they're going to cheapen the value of the black card. It's a very prestig. We don't want it." No. We We don't care that everybody knows if you have this card. It's It's kind of a secret, right?
If you know, you know. It's cuz you got the money to have it. So, but we want these things. We want them so we can show them to everybody else that we have them. But what about wanting a blackowned designer?
What about, you know, pulling money into our own black things? I'm just asking these questions, right? Or what about the NAACP, the CBC saying, "Hey, don't buy where you can't work, right? If all if if the unemployment rate is high for black folks, don't buy there. Don't shop there. Don't do business there. They that would be an idea, right? But they're not going to do that. And the other thing, too, is they never talk about all the gatekeeping that goes on with a lot of these jobs, right? Especially somewhere like Los Angeles where is a very high Latino population. And we have seen and heard a lot of stories about how they gate keep jobs. Black folks trying to go get high.
I don't care if it's McDonald's.
We not hiring.
Well, you got a sign on the front of the door. Big giant sign. Now hiring.
Oh, you not hiring me. Okay. I tell y'all my stories all the time in Freedom. High Latino population there, a workforce, some blacks. And they was always messing with me. They tried to get me fired a lot. But see, your girl was a gangster. Okay. They it just so what I'm saying is but the NAACP and all them they don't talk about the gatekeeping that they do but you know what the Congressional Black Caucus does. They are still right now dying on the hill of getting rid of ICE right they fighting for legal immigration and all those other things. But then on the other hand other hand they talk about HOW OH THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS HIGH.
LOOK WHAT TRUMP TRUMP ain't making them Latinos in Los Angeles, New York or anywhere else gay keep jobs away from black folks. And it's not just a McDonald's. It's, you know, jobs at THE COUNTY AND THE CITY. THEY DO IT THERE, TOO. But they not saying nothing about that. Now, I'm not saying all Latinos are illegal, but, you know, they sure do make sure they they they help their people first, right? So, it's a lot going on here. So, I have a solution.
Okay. It's a very basic one. Says, "Bank black. Move savings and deposits to blackowned banks or credit unions keeping capital circulating locally."
Okay, now I won't say this, too.
I have a black bank account, One United.
Okay. Now, when I first got it, I had it. I had it for a while. When I first got it, it was all black own. The last time I looked, the board is white. They this, they like, okay, so it's black own, but just not black operated. LIKE, WHAT ARE WE DOING? OKAY. SO, we have to make sure that is the case, too. WE CAN'T TELL BLACK FOLKS TO PUT THEIR MONEY IN THE BLACK BANKS AND THEN I GO AND LOOK UP THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS. IS WHITE WOMEN, WHITE MEN, ASIANS, AND LATIN. WAIT, RIGHT. You saying it's a blackowned bank, LET IT BE BLACKOWNED. LIKE, HOW IN THE HELL DO YOU HIRE ANYBODY OUTSIDE OF BLACK FOLKS IN A BLACKOWNED BANK? THAT'S NOT GROUP ECONOMICS. CUZ THOSE ARE BLACK PEOPLE WHO CAN USE THOSE JOBS. WE GOT BLACK FOLKS WHO COULD BE BOARD OF directors and COOs and, you know, CE. WE GOT BLACK PEOPLE THAT COULD DO THAT. WHY YOU NEED THESE OTHER PEOPLE TO DO IT?
PROBABLY BECAUSE THEY GOT A little bit more hand in this blackowned bank that they lean on. As Malcolm X said two years ago, why is it that white people want to always be involved and sitting at the helm of everything we got going on? Cuz they want to make sure we don't do something that they don't like.
THAT'S WHAT IT IS. SO WHY DO YOU GOT WHITE PEOPLE SITTING ON THE ON THE BOARD OF A BLACK BANK TO see who get the money still? Cuz you CAN'T TELL ME TO GO GET A LOAN FROM A BLACK BANK CUZ IT'S SUPPOSED to be easier. But then I see YOU GOT THE PUPPETEERS ARE WHITE. Now my eyebrows is raised. Right. Okay. Now it says form investment clubs. I talk ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME HERE. Pull money with friends or family to collectively invest in real estate businesses or the stock market if that's your thing. Right. But definitely real estate and other businesses. And this business ain't even got to be big.
I'm not talking about no cooperation.
It could be a fruit stand cuz we need fruit and vegetables in the hoods, right? is a food desert. It could be a fruit stand with some vegetables and then when you make more money at with that, maybe open up a little corner store. You get where I'm going with that? BUT MOST DEFINITELY START WITH YOUR friends and family. Often times we on this internet and we TALKING ABOUT, OH, INVEST WITH THIS PERSON. I DON'T KNOW THAT PERSON CUZ THAT'S WHAT YOU GET A LOT. I DON'T KNOW THAT PERSON or you end up getting scammed.
But when your family or your good friend say, "Hey, I'm thinking about opening up a fruit and and vegetables standing on the corner. Would you help me?" I DON'T KNOW ABOUT ALL OF THAT, but you just gave somebody on the internet you never met all this money.
But the homie or the FAMILY MEMBER, THEY GOT I DON'T KNOW ABOUT HOW YOU GOT TO BE AND I just want I got to thank them. I got to pray on it. Like my brother say, he say, "We're the prayingest people."
Especially when it comes to somebody asking you to do something. Let me pray on it. Why you blaming God? I get it.
You ain't supposed to be anxious for anything, but why you putting God in the middle of your your um indecisiveness.
I'm not asking you to give me everything, but give me a little something so WE CAN START A FRUIT. YOU KNOW, we could, you know, solve all these issues WE GOT. SO, START WITH your friends and family. Like, for real, okay? And then circular spending.
intentionally source daily goods and services from local or national blackowned businesses. We got to be intentional about that, right? You know how we say, "Did you shop black today?
Make sure you get out there and buy black." One day it'll just be second nature and going to the stair.
I won't have to say, "Well, which store you going to?" Cuz then I say, "Stop playing with me. You know, I'm going to a blackowned grocery store. you know, black meat market, black, you know, grocery, you know, I'm going there.
Where else would I go? As I say too, like when I'm at the regular grocery store, whether it's Kroger, Ralphs, wherever I might be in the country, I rarely see Hispanics and Lat Asians there. You do sometimes, but you rarely see them there. You know why? Cuz they had their own grocery store. HMart for the Asians, Maxi Foods or Cardinas, you know, for the Latinos. That's where they be at.
It's not second nature to them.
They don't have to say, "Go make sure you go shop Latino today."
They just do it.
So, one day we're going to get there.
But we got to continue to have that conversation. back to what that lady said. If all black Americans were to boycott, we could [ __ ] crumple this economy.
And lastly, boycott for us.
Not boycotting for no Democrats or anybody else. Boycott for us. Because the Democrats want black folks to boycott so they can go and stay in office to do more of nothing for black Americans while they go and help everybody else and keep us in a state of constant begging, hoping, wishing, praying, and oh, we shall overcome and all that. That's what we get.
That's what we get. And if the Democratic party really love black folks, and we know they don't, they would say, "Hey, bump all of that." this is how we practice group economics, then we probably want to vote for them because we don't want to lose that type of representation, do we? No. We want to keep that representation because they we know they really representing us and they're telling us how to get it out the mud, how to keep it out the mud, how to build and do all these other things, but they're never going to do that. So, we don't boycott to help them. We boycott to help ourselves. And speaking of helping ourselves, before I get into the comment section, we need to help ourselves and make sure that we get the African Diaspora News Channel app from your Google, your Apple Play Store. That is part of the group economics equation, right? Black media supporting blackowned media. That's us. Hello. Right? In any way that you can, but specifically, we need you to get the app because that's what we do own. That's what we uh control and we operate. Ain't no white folks in the back pulling no strings talking about how they can't post that, they can't do that, but tell them it's black on. No, it's black on. Okay, so please and thank you for those of y'all who have it already. I cannot say thank you enough. And for those of you who don't, WHAT'S TAKING us so long? All right, in the comment section, let me see how far. Okay, I could go all the way to the top. All right, clowners, how you doing, Nate? what's going on. He says, "So, vote for uh Spencer Pratt in Los Angeles." Listen, I don't I can't tell y'all what to do, but I wouldn't be against it because the Democrats do not like Californians at all. They do not like black California residents. They don't like no California residents at all.
They just giving it all away. They really are. Okay. I'm from California, born and raised, and every time I go back there, which I'll be back there soon, um, I don't recognize it at all and they're just giving it away. So maybe give give Spencer Pratt a chance.
See what he does and if he drops the ball, get rid of him next time around.
But, you know, what do you have to lose?
So, I don't know. Darius, what's going on? Hope you're doing well. Sister Shirley, how are you? says, "Whice supremacists want to keep us poor so we can keep the economy strong." Yeah.
When you keep somebody in a constant state of begging, there's also the illusion of if I just ask one last time in a different way, maybe you'll actually help me. You know, I'll let you include you in the New Deal, right? FDR, he did the New Deal.
That didn't include us originally. His wife told him the Negroes, they can vote. Include them. So, we got a little bit of that. Okay. But it didn't help us really overcome nothing. Like reparations will help us overcome that, right? If you really want to include us, you should have just gave us our money.
It's coming eventually. And then the great society, all these voting rights acts and these things just that they did.
It didn't really help us overcome nothing. We're here. It's 2026 and we're having the same conversations I would imagine my mama and them was having in the 60s.
We gonna overcome one day, girl.
So, yeah. J Money, how you doing? Tracy, what's going on with you? Hope you're doing well. Pastor Rick, how you doing?
Says, "Group economics is a must." It's not even hard. It's not, but we think it is. That's why I say we start small. Start with the people in your house. Okay? Say, "Do you need to go out every Saturday night? I don't know what it costs to go out." Um because I don't go out, right? But from what I understand, sometimes it can run you $15 a drink and most people ain't having one drink.
And listen, I'm not trying to pocket watch, but I'm just saying if you really want to move the ball, hell, we save enough money, we can open up our own little, you know, go out, whatever it is. I know we have a lot of those and they don't stay around for whatever reason, but you know, think along those lines. Going to give a white man all that money. Uh F, what's going on with you? I am doing fabulous, especially since it's my Friday. Uh Blood Cupid, what's going on? Hope you're doing well.
Uh Jin Jennus, I'll say Jyn, how you doing? It says, "I unfollowed Baller Alert" after those political posts. I did, too. So, I don't even know. You know how sometimes uh it comes up as, you know, suggested or something like that. So, I saw that and I just comment on it. But yeah, they were showing they behind uh during the last election. I I unfollowed a lot of people. I was like, "Y'all could do a little too much crashing out for me, you know, over the Democrats and all this other stuff." And there's a lot of these black sites and it's like Kla wasn't going to do a damn thing for black folks. Y'all just wanted us to vote for her so that Trump wouldn't get in office, but she gets in office and now what? What's she going to do for us?
Nothing.
Uh, freedom is the truth. What's going on with you? Says DNC bull never telling the full truth. Well, cuz they know that we aren't, not all of us, but collectively, we're not interested in the full truth. We're interested in voting blue no matter who.
That's all you need to do. Vote blue no matter who, and we'll take care of the rest.
Mr. Ernest, how you doing? Hope you're doing well. He says, I agree with brother Malcolm. Same. Right. That's one thing I love about knowledge and wisdom.
It doesn't matter when it was told, who told it. The knowledge and the wisdom is the same, right? So, it's timeless. Yes, indeed. Well, thank you, pastor. I appreciate that. Gold Crown Eyes, what's going on with you? Abby Chill in the building. How you doing, y'all? What's going on? Y chill says, "And Joyless Reed was trying to convince us." It was cool, too. Um, it was cool, too. Yeah, I see. Uh, Joy Reed now, she's trying to mirror some of the talking points that we've been having. Angela Ry, all of them. Well, now they can't give reparations because you know Trump are trying to do it. Trump is. And so now they're saying we'll see. It's like, well, that's what we've been saying. You ain't telling us nothing. We ain't been saying. We've been saying that the Democrats could do reparations if they want to. Hell, we heard them say they've been B&J appal that when they get the gavl back, they're going to give illegal immigrants reparations. So how you going to And she said we need to find a way to fund it. So how you going to give it to them? But you've been telling us we can't get it cuz they ain't no money. We get studies.
We get studies to see if it can be done.
If anything, what can be done? Because, you know, we just don't have the money.
But she going to find a way to fund it for illegal immigrants.
Ren, how you doing? Hope you're having a great day. Buck Horse, how are you today? A foodies guide to fasting. What is up? He says, "Talk that truth." I shall. I shall. Tito, what's going on with you? The rush card. What happened to the rush card?
I saw um as a matter of fact Ben Crump and uh LL CoolJ they got some sort of it's supposed to be for black people uh card right I don't know some financial something something but when I clicked the link to look into it I said okay it's a debit card and I clicked off cuz with debit cards and then it's it's like got a lot of hidden fees I think it's going to cost you like $150 something dollars a year for the if you don't stop right then but they were trying to pass it off as a oh this is going to help you with you know financial freedom it's a damn debit card that I put my own money on that I'm going to spend so what are you doing like but people put black on it and then sometimes people flock to it and don't even read it's like you better read the fine print I'm just saying Dex whole you say yeah Fredo and Rancho Chuchim manga.
I was there from 1995 to 2008.
Uh got hurt my hand and so I had to stop. God knew better than me. But yeah, there it's closed down now. I think they're finally going to be closed uh next month and it it's been open since the early 70s. Yep. Uh is Mo, how you doing? Hope you're doing well. Says, "I'm tired of hearing people say black and brown when we have no allies. We need to focus on black only. Yeah. Well, that's the D uh the Democrats, the Congressional Black Caucus, NAACP, that's them with the black and the brown and the black and the brown. That's them doing that. The Democrats, they say, "OH, BLACKS, THE BLACK, THIS IS IN DANGER." BUT THEN THE BLACK AND the brown, they they'll always include brown people. Always. I'm telling you, they'll never talk about just black folks, black Americans without including everybody.
Even up the thing from Ball Alert, they talking about oh uh one in five people that are in ICE detention are black Americans. Like and I'm like that's a lie from the pit of hell. If a black Americans in the ICE detention center, surely it was a mistake and I'm sure once they figure that out they going to be let go. And so they're not black Americans. They're from other places in the diaspora. Let's be real about that.
But they're not black. That's why they got mad at me in the comment section.
I'm like where is the lie? black Americans are citizens.
So, I don't know. Gold Ky says they don't allow black companies to stay black. There's all types of trips uh trip uh trip ups and needs uh for other investors. Yeah, but we we got to say, we don't need you cuz you're not just donating the money just because you're donating the money because you want some say so. You want some control. And usually is we need to make sure black folks ain't getting too big of an idea to get independent. They don't want us independent. As much as they say, "Ah, black people on welfare. I'm black people." They don't want us to be independent because then we don't need them. They eat greedy off of black folks. They being white people, Asians, Latinos, Arabs, Indians, they all eat very greedy. Stomachs is bulging AND OURS IS TOUCHING our backbone cuz we trying to survive off of 3% of almost $2 trillion. It's crazy.
Scoop, how you doing? Says Fredo Lane Rancho uh wouldn't hire me for some reason. And when was that? Um and I could speculate like I first got in through a temporary uh agency and they didn't hardly want to hire me, but they needed the help. Um and you know, I've been there. I was there for a long time.
But yeah, they they got a lot of issues there, but they not there no, so you ain't got to worry about that. Lesie, how you doing? says blacks for Trump's 2026 13% of the population. Um I don't know about that. You know Trump is doing some things that is beneficial to black Americans like the birthright citizenship the for a part you know the 14th amendment that was supposed to be in his words for the babies of slaves.
He's basically saying that's who it was meant for. wasn't meant for uh all these immigrants to come over here and have babies and then say, "Oh, well now my child needs DACA and all these other things and now I'm tied to the country because my child is here because that's what they're doing." Um somebody sent me some I can't remember who it was. I think it was maybe brother Kellen um talking about how the Chinese are doing it like in here in Houston like they got caught. They purposely set it up that way so their citizens come over here and have babies and it's like I'm here. But we know that illegal immigration hurts black Americans the most because for one, when they come over here and then they do become citizens, they replace us. Dr. Claude Anderson told us that years ago. He says, "Right now, you're number two, right? It's white, black, Latinos.
Now it's what? White, Latinos, blacks."
And that's because they have worked to come over here and populate, overpop populate. And they told us what they being especially the Democrats, get rid of your baby. Here's some Planned Parenthood or in some cases give it to you for free. You don't have to have your baby.
Black woman, go ahead. All the while everybody else and white folks, they having issues. And you know, God don't like ugly. So, they having a hard time uh creating. And so, the Latino, they like, "Well, we ain't got no problem."
And religiously speaking, being mostly Catholic, they they don't even believe in birth control. Well, they used to anyway. So, they just have all the babies they can. Sister Sunlight, how you doing? Hope that you're doing well.
Brian, what's going on with you? a long time no see says focusing on what we like where we agree and getting along basically co uh cooperating like clockwork is even more important than trying to cooperate in group economics because a black own because a blackowned business um I guess I'm trying to decipher what you're saying I think it's all important think we just need to cooperate to where we stop giving these people all our money I Yes.
Uh he says near me. He says uh something shut down from bad feedback and they had good food and we were and were doing their best to my knowledge. Yeah.
Sometimes we harm our own businesses with the foolishness. Right. Prince uh Lahan, how you doing? Respect to you as well. Pop, what's going on with you?
Long time no see. Where you being?
James, what's going on with you? Says God already is doing a good job. That is true. Totally. We don't God don't need us to help him do nothing. We need to help ourselves right now. Right.
Constance, how you doing? Says words of wisdom simply and eloquently spoken. All right. Now, um Michelle was going on says we're tired of the BS. How tired are we? How tired are we of the BS?
Like, think about it. How tired of the BS are we if we continue to participate in the BS? Like, cuz I get it sometimes.
like I get tired, but then when I get really tired, I'm cutting it off. I'm done with it. Whatever it is, I'm not answering the phone. I'm not like there's things I'm just not going to do.
So, when we really get tired, we going to stop doing the things we're doing.
We're going to stop voting for a party that does nothing for us. We're going to stop giving our money away to everybody else, right? We're going to just say, "Okay, we're tired now. Let's, you know, do what we got to do in our own community." And I I I hate to even say this, especially when I'm talking about unity, but some of our people can't go.
See, cuz we got to get tired of some of them people, too. Some people just they don't they don't want anything different. They're going to continue in the foolishness that they have going on, and we have to divorce ourselves from them until they get themselves right.
Very uncomfortable conversation, but it's true. Dr. Sharon, what's going on? Says, "Yes, a foundation of black Americans could. North America is their land. We just need to speak." Okay, Ncoan, what's going on? Says, "They know we are Black First FBA. Peace and love, Sister Demetri K and the family." Absolutely.
And back at you. Let's see. Yaya, thank you so much for gifting 20 African dice for news channel memberships. I don't know how that works, but from what I understand, y'all can pick them up if y'all want to, but that is major. Thank you so much for that. Love and appreciate you. Most definitely. Uh, let's see. Let's see. Mr. Ernest says, "I think separation has been the best solution for our people for over 40 years. And now, it's very necessary for our survival that we separate and become a nation and watch the fall of America begin." We're already watching it. It's already taking place.
The Honorable Elijah Muhammad told us that in the 70s with his book, Fall of America, right? Y'all should read it.
It's a really good book. Um, it really is. But, uh, we're already watching that unfold.
And them people know that. If you think they study us, you don't think they know what they got coming to them really, uh, for not atoning for the original sin of slavery. They know. That's why you see the Trump administration, a lot of people trying to legislate the way they are because they think they're going to out legislate the will of God. You cannot. It's already a done deal. You know, some say it's too late. I don't know. It remains to be seen. Uh yeah.
No, Tito, we we get to study. Everybody else don't. Hey Britney, how you doing girl? Hope you're doing well. Uh so I see Yaya also became a new member. Okay.
So, giving memberships and becoming a new member. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Who else we got on here that have not seen? I want to make sure I say hello to everybody.
Shane, how you doing? He says they can give us cars worth 5.3 million a piece for every black American FBA. I like that. Our show will not decline that.
They owe us a lot of money. They really do. You know, I saw uh Ayanna Presley, I don't know, last year or some time saying black Americans deserve $3 trillion. It's like if you don't go sit down somewhere, you said that and you know dog on well you didn't even mean it. But no, we deserve a little bit more than that, home girl. Nice try though.
Right, Jab? Uh Jabin McGawan, how you doing? He says, "Did you know Medicare pays for the birth?" Uh yes. uh uh babies. That's the medical insurance you get on SSI, S uh SDI. Yeah, I do know that it does uh in in some cases it it pays for the unbirth of children as well, if you know what I mean. Black butterflies, how you doing? Says Ephesians, put on the complete set of armor from God. Repent. 144,000 holy 1 million. Okay. and it went to the Bible on me.
And McQueen, how you doing? You're late today. That's okay. Uh, you're always on time. Let's see who else says something.
See some more Bible scriptures. Brian says, "Eventually, we need we just need a way to stop them from forcing us to do something other than working together to ensure our collective respectable treatment." Well, we ain't got to make to have them do nothing. That's what we're here doing today. THAT'S WHY I TRY to make this conversational. I know I can't hear y'all voices, but I can see your comments. And we're having conversation. That's how we do it. We don't need them to do nothing. What we need ourselves to do is start having these conversations. And as my mama would always tell me, cuz I read a lot of books and I've read a lot of books.
And you know what she told me? She says, "Great."
And my mom was an author. She she she wrote books, right? You got all these books. you reading all these self-help books. She says, "Now, when you going to apply the knowledge?"
Oh, yeah. I got to apply it too, right?
And it woke me up. So, what I'm saying is while we're having this conversation, we're, you know, passing the knowledge and the wisdom back and forth. Now, we got to actually start doing these things, okay? Cuz talking is cool. As y'all can hear, during the end of the week, my voice is a I lose my voice. So, I have to be quiet. But while I'm resting my voice, there's things I still have to do. I still have to get together with my friends and family and say, "Hey, okay, let's do this. Let's do that. Let's build." So, the more we get on the same page, it's not going to matter what them people going to do.
We don't focus on them. I know they'll always focus on us cuz they're boring, right? But we focus on us. That's how that works, right?
Yes.
Aggie, how you doing? Says, "Don't want the economy to crumble." Says, "Guess they better get those tax-free reparation checks out of the door and into our accounts." True. But guess what?
If they give us all that money, it's not if, it's when, okay? When they give us all that money, are we going to give 97% of that back? Cuz if I was the white supremacist, that's what I would be thinking. Man, we going to GET ALL THAT BACK. I would be for reparations. I would BE IF I WAS THESE WHITE PEOPLE, you know, they said like 90% of them don't want black folks to get black Americans rather get reparations. If I was in my black, hey, give it to them. I have a business.
They're going to give it right back.
See, Dave Chappelle did a skit on the Chappelle show years ago, and we got reparations in this skit, right?
Somebody drove up in a cool a Newport cigarette truck talking about I bought this, you know, and all kind of foolishness. And one thing I love about Dave Chappelle, it was funny, but it made you think. So when we get our money, let's not give it back. Let's not give it back. And other thing is they know a lot of us won't give it back. So that's partially why they won't give it to us as well. And they and they hateful and they're jealous. So yeah, uh, Pastor Rick says, uh, White says, "We need them folks to mind their own business and we'll mind ours." Yeah, absolutely. So anyway, listen, I love and appreciate every last one of y'all for being here this week with me. I'll be back next week. Um, Tuesday through Thursday, 11:00 a.m.
Central time on my channel Sunday 5:00 PM Central time. But listen, um, we all we got, y'all. We're all we got and we got a lot. We got almost two trillion dollars. We're pretty large economy. But in a sense, we don't have it because we give it to everybody else. Let's stop doing that. Like me, I'm trying my best to And the first we could just How about if we on an individual basis just save?
Just save. Don't go spend the money you usually spend unless you really need to, right? like water, lights, gas, rent, food, if you have a car payment, you know, insurance, like that stuff, and scale back on the uh the want side of things just a little bit. Okay? Save that money. And then you'll say, "Oh, wow. I'm saving a lot of money." You know, when I get humbled, I get humbled during income tax time when I got to do my tax. I'M LIKE, "GOLLY, I spent that on that." And trust me, I'm really frugal, but I get blown away.
This year when I did my uh income taxes, I was, "Okay, you did a lot better." So, what I'm saying is say, just save the money and when it comes time to jump into something with your friends and your your homies and your family, say, "I got a little bit of money." You don't have to go, you know, to your bank account like, "I got $5. Will that help?"
You can say, "Yeah, I've been saving. I got $2,000 I could give to that. Sure.
Draw it all up. Make sure it's done right so we don't have no issues. Okay?
And then we go from there. But in the meantime, love and appreciate every last one of y'all. Please come back and see us again. Peace.
