Africans and Black Americans share common ancestry and cultural heritage, but Black Americans have developed distinct identities shaped by the unique historical experiences of slavery, colonization, and systemic oppression in America. While some Black Americans maintain strong connections to their African roots and heritage, others have developed indigenous or mixed ancestry due to historical circumstances, leading to diverse perspectives on identity and belonging within the Black diaspora.

>> Okay, we got to rotate the stage cuz we got a couple of people in the queue and I need some space.
>> I'll drop. Y'all have a good day, man.
>> Oh, you about to drop, Johnny?
>> Yeah. Hey, y'all don't be scared to crank that drink. Go ahead, crank that drink, y'all. And uh y'all have a good night.

>> Hey the black.
>> Hello. Hey everybody. How y'all doing today?
>> We doing a blast.
What up though?
>> Let's see who up here. Okay.
>> White folks today.
Hey. Hey. Wait.
Whose lie was that last night? You okay?
You You okay about work? I heard what you said that they did to you, the immigrants in the uh behind the uh um toilet paper sheet covers.
>> Man, look, I just these folks are dirty. I just I don't understand why they do certain things that cuz what happened uh this customer had had told me that we needed the bathroom clean. So I sent my janitor in there to clean the bathroom and he mad. He come to me telling me that hey these somebody don't left their jaws behind the little paddle. You know where you get the little toilet sheet paper, you put it on top of the toilet sheet. On top of the toilet, >> right?
>> That little panel that be on the wall, >> they stuck they little shitty jaws in there.
>> No, no, no.
>> The toilet paper holder.
>> No, the little uh uh toilet uh the toilet seat seat uh cover >> seat cover. Then stuck their drawers in the toilet seat cover.
>> Yeah. Behind the little little panel. So we we sitting there, they could at least we we we talking and we laughing and really just bad, but we trying to make jokes out of we were like, "Damn, they could at least threw it in the trash, kid." Know what I'm saying? Instead of putting it by be by like, you still got shitty booty regardless. It's just the fact that you got to put it behind this little panel where people got to stick their head through there on a daily basis. That's that's something that you got to keep sanitized. So we clean the bathrooms every hour. Like I'm in a truck stop. So like damn, you [ __ ] is just nasty.
>> Hey, I got a question.
>> Yeah, that's trifling.
>> Okay, hold on. Go Rev. Uh, hey Big Buck.
Welcome. Uh, what's your ethnicity?
>> What's up? My I'm half African, half French.
>> Half African, half French. Like what country in Africa? Gobon.
>> Kuman. Where is that?
>> Gobon. Gobon. It's on the western coast.
It's just just underneath Cameroon.
>> Oh, okay. Okay. Shout out to Kuban. Um, go ahead with your question, BBuck.
>> Yeah. Um, my question is, I don't know.
I've seen a few lives, a few different panels. There's a specific group of black Americans that love to deny their African heritage. They have this idea of obviously Native Americans, this and that. What's that all about? Hold on, Landry. I'mma have to um who up here.
Okay. Thank you, Aisha, for coming up.
You can come back up, but something might have to happen, so I need a space.
Go ahead. Um you said Okay, so um let's see who would like to answer that question. The the black, would you like to give it a try?
>> Enlighten me. Give me a second.
>> While you waiting, uh FBA Maroon, would you like to give it a try?
Yeah, I I'll give it a try. You said you from Gabon and and French and you want to know why black Americans or just black people as a whole around the world?
>> No, no, but black Americans cuz you see me, I live in the UK. U black people in the UK obviously naturally we understand our heritage cuz we actually know where we come from. We come from different African countries. I know it's different for Americans, this and that.
>> Okay. Do you feel like there's a lot of >> answer question, brother? Do you want me to answer the You going to have a chance to respond? We we gonna give you a chance to respond. Don't worry. Like I'm just gonna ask you a question real quick and then you know let the host let you know the next step. But >> go >> um yeah over here we don't deny African ancestry. We just go off of our lineage and a lot of our lineages go back to this land. So we have extensive records going back some of us even 500 maybe even 600 years because some people say they able to go past the 1400s. So yeah I mean we just go off of the facts here.
We It's not about denying Africa. It's about going off of our own ancestral claim. So, I don't know what other people that you say are doing this uh or about denying Africa or whatever with Africa, but you should probably go ask them. But over here, you know, we have indigenous ancestry, most of us. So, that just is what it is.
answer your question or you need uh another explanation.
>> No, go on. Keep explaining. I'm listening.
>> Okay. When you look at the history of America, uh look at the writings of the the French missionaries and the Spanish missionaries that came over. Even the concistadors, they wrote and they said they seem black looking people or what we consider will be black classified as black people today.
And then when you look at the numbers of actual African slaves that came to America, which was between 300 and 400,000, the majority went to Brazil and the Caribbean.
it it will make more sense that they was absorbed into the already indigenous brown population that was here and was getting enslaved. So yeah, and then when you go by oral history and documented history, most of us like LBA Maroon said, we don't find no African. Some people do, some people don't. Some people are from indigenous tribes, some people are not. Some people are just what come from breeding plantations which you are a combination of who knows what. But right now you are black American.
>> Does that answer your question?
>> Yeah. Yeah. I see it. I'm getting it.
I'm understanding.
Well, but my my my thing was specifically though, I was just on a live and did they went to the extremity of saying, "Yo, us black Americans, we don't even look like black Africans. We we ain't nothing alike." But >> okay, so some of we don't look like Wait a minute. Okay, so let me look y'all at all. That is a fact. I don't know why it's so hard for you guys to admit the truth. Secondly, also some of us are dark-kinned Indians, indigenous Indians, the dark-kinned ones, not Native Americans. We are the original inhabitors of this land. Some of us are, some are not.
And and that's just the bottom line.
It's just that simple. Some are. And then a lot of a lot of people have ad mixtures between whites um um um indigenous Indian that were here and African ancestry. So we are all different people. That's why we're do all doing our genealogy to find out exactly who we are as a people. So some people are um indigenous Indians, the black ones, not the Native American ones. And y'all can't act like y'all ain't got no real shape heads >> because >> you mix a black American with another race, you you come out with a unique thing. You mix a African with a white person or another race, y'all.
Y'all be looking a little weird.
>> H a little weird.
>> Yeah. What's up, >> BBuck?
>> What's up? What's up? Yeah. I um you know uh yeah um I used to think uh when I was young that uh this thing about African right that I was a part of African but I found out when I got older and I started I really did thought I had a lot of African in me. But I found out that my grandmother and both of my grandmother on my father's side and on my mother's side uh he come from Georgia. Uh she got high cheekbones.
Everybody in my family has those Indian high cheekbones and she was uh her hair is just like Indian hair. My granddaddy lived to be 104. She lived to be 103. My dad just passed. He lived to be 90 94. But what I'm saying, I noticed our features.
>> What are you doing?
>> At first before before I took this uh genealogy test that I didn't >> don't sit down >> have no African no African in me, >> you know, but I used to always think that I did. It might be a small trace somewhere. I'm still working on it, but so far I'm study digging and I don't see no big part of the African.
>> Go lay down. Get up on the couch and lay down.
>> You understand what I'm saying?
>> Miss Lo, you're not on mute.
>> Oh, I'm sorry. I was talking to my dog.
>> Yeah. I ain't want you to say no more names. I I heard a name. I said, uhoh.
>> That out right there.
>> Got a hood name.
>> That's a FBA. Hey, brother. That's a FBA name for you. Cornelius.
>> Oh, that's a FBA name if I ever heard one.
>> A golden doodle.
>> So that's what I found out. So that's what I found out about uh you know about my people.
>> That's what I found out about my people >> on that level. So uh yeah. Um uh I mean it kind of shocked me but I thought I you know I had a lot of African in me. But when I seen some real Africans when they start coming over here and I start looking at myself, I say something ain't right because my hair I got peak peak hair in the front that comes down.
It comes down. Africans hairline goes back farther and I have high cheekbones.
You know, you know higher cheekbones cheekbones and not an African feature.
>> Hold on real t me in real quick if I may. Just one more reply to this.
>> We got new people on the stage, too. So, y'all can get a little more time. We can get to the new people.
>> Okay.
>> Okay. I was going to just just to answer the brother's question. Uh BBuck, are you familiar with the uh Reverend Jesse Jackson? I I don't know why they call him Reverend, but shout out to him. Are you familiar with him?
>> BB. So, someone put me on mute, but now I'm not going to enlighten me.
>> You don't know who Jesse Jackson is?
Mm-m.
>> Okay. Well, that's probably the issue is that you you don't really know our history here, right? So, I would suggest looking at Jesse Jackson. I would suggest looking at um a couple of the people who are on reservations over here and you'll start to notice a pattern as that.
>> What was Jesse Jackson FBA? And >> I mean, you said who was Jesse Jackson?
>> What was his ethnicity and what did he do?
Well, Jesse Jackson was a a full-blooded Cherokee Cherokee Indian and he was one of the people um who was a part of the soul movement. It wasn't even called the civil rights movement um at the time. A lot of people don't know that. I think I think Rev might be old enough to uh second that, you know, for me, but um yeah, it was called the soul movement at first. So, which was now I think you would know >> Yeah, it was called you Buck you would recognize as a civil rights movement. So yeah, a lot of people don't really even know that overseas. Um he recently unalived, you know, and some people were controversial over his stuff, but he created the term African-American even though he never identified as one. So something tells me that he knew better and he just kind of dropped that term and they forced that term on us, which is fairly new, fairly new term. It came I think he created in 1989 and they did a poll and most of the people actually wanted to be still identified as black or negro. Um, so nobody even accepted the term African-American. Most of our grandmothers >> Okay.
>> always knew history.
>> Yeah. But I just wanted to make sure put that out there is we have a lot of famous people. Michael Jackson, his mother, uh, has deep indigenous roots.
His father has deep indigenous roots.
So, um, but they were classified as Negro. So, just, you know, read up on a couple different things of our culture and I think I think you'll answer your question.
>> A big bucks.
>> Yeah. Yeah. I I want to say this though.
Um I I can never deny the fact that I believe personally believe that the indigenous people of America were darker skinned people. Now I've done research and I've seen that there's links between ancient kingdoms within ancient Kemet which you guys might know as Egypt and and pyramids that they found within the Americas from from thousands of years ago. And there's even conspiracies, thought processes. Some people think that a Africans got their way before Europeans, which I wouldn't deny. But my my main thing was the denying that you guys look like Africans cuz bro, like like what Rev was saying about the high cheekbones and that >> you go to Sudan, you see the same high cheekbones. You go to Ghana, you'll find why do we got to why do it bother you if we say we don't look like Africans? No, it it it comes it kind of comes across as some selfhatred to me personally.
>> You have H A hatred. But wait, you have you have French, so I'm sure you don't look African no more either.
>> I mean, yo, let me let me put my let me put Hold on. Where's my camera? Let me turn this off.
>> What is African?
>> You You look Tell me if I look African or not.
>> What's an African look if African right now? No retus. You get me? Hit save.
>> But you are African. That's the difference. We're not >> exactly, >> bro. Luda Chris is from his country, bro.
>> Save, BB. Hit save. You got to hit save, brother.
>> Chris got citizenship with his country.
He's not from his country. He got >> Well, not yet. My bad. He's not from there, but he traces ancestry.
>> You got Hold on, guys. BB, you got to hit save. I want to see what this brother look like.
>> What does that mean? I want to show you.
Hold on. You got to hit save. Once you see yourself, hit save.
>> Save. You don't can see me nowhere. Bomb me.
>> Yo, brother. Yo, brother. You got half French and half African. That's okay.
>> Look like a African.
>> Yeah. You mix something.
>> Exactly. You look like this headship band. [ __ ] You don't think, >> bro? You going to go to the band Tuesday? Going to send you home, bro.
You >> But shout out to you wanting to look African. Shout out to that. Don't vape.
Don't vape. Don't vape. I know. Well, I feel you know cuz I'm going to have to start my live. I already got it.
>> It's mixed though. I mean it's mixed with >> Yeah, but I mean I'm just saying. So this if you want to look African even though Hold on, we got to cut that camera off. Uh if you want to >> Some [ __ ] said I look I look Filipino.
I [ __ ] you.
>> Yeah. Well, you know what I mean? But shout out to you. You know what I mean?
If you want that to be with you, you know what I mean? But okay, >> miss that high. It's not a a Native American feature only. That's fun. That's that's high cheekbones don't make you Native American.
>> It's all I'm saying.
>> So why you same concept when he said, "Thank you, Big Buck." Buck, you can come back anytime. Okay, we got Spart here. Hey, Spart. How you doing?
>> Hola, Kamustas. I'm in good spirit. And how are you guys doing?
>> We doing good, American. Uh Spider is here tonight. I know. I hear his ass. I hear him.
>> Hey, >> part of Spanish.

>> How come all y'all getting >> s speaking Spanish?
>> Hey, is it me or they all saying they eating soul food tonight? Am I tripping?
Like this is like the what? Fourth person.
Yeah, cuz we on code. We on code. That's the new thing we going to be hearing all the time.
>> Is that like is that the Democratic campaign plan? Is it going to be like Camala with the collar greens in the bathtub and >> I go to the record store and I eat soul food and listen to Tupac.
>> They want us >> that don't make you closer to us.
>> Throw ahead receipt. My bad. Go ahead, brother. I don't >> I was just saying that that's cuz they want us to eat some cool food. They think them eat some soul food going to make us be like, "Brother, you can eat some fufu now. I embrace you. You embrace me. No lie.
>> Listen, I done seen a goosey in person.
I'm not eating that, bro. I'm I'm not lying to you. I done seen it in person.
I'm good. No disrespect to the Africans, but I prefer gumbo and I prefer chicken noodle soup. I prefer that. I I'll take my chance.
>> Gumbo. We eat gumbo. Chicken noodle soup, bro. We eat gumbo as well.
>> Okay, hold on. Hold on, Landry. Hold on.
Hold on.
>> Let's see. So, um, hello youth youth Belelford.
>> Yousef? It's Yousef.
>> Yousef. Oh, okay. Hi.
>> Hello everyone. How's everybody doing?
>> Hi.
>> Wait a minute. Hold on. What's your ethnicity?
>> Well, I'm black, brown skinned, dark skin.
>> All right. I I'm just I'm listening to y'all conversation and all the people of color we have all been colonized.
>> Okay. What's your question for black Americans?
>> My black America, what is what is it that we are afraid of?
>> What is it that we are afraid of?
Can you elaborate what you mean? What were we afraid of? Like, okay, let's go back. I'm going just take it back. I certain things you can say, certain things you can't say cuz you have people that are listening.
Um, back in the 60s, what made the change? The change was the people stood up and stood out. They got tired.
They were not cowards.
They spoke up spoke out.
>> So our problem today, this is just me saying that we have became passive and we became coward. We are afraid of revolution.
>> What was the revolution like?
>> Making a revolution.
>> No.
>> What's the revolution about?
>> I don't know. I won't hurt it.
>> We will never be free underneath this system, this government that we live under.
Then we fight to be >> the powers to be. The powers to be. We serve them. We work for them. We pay their wages. They sit back. We're puppets. When we going to get our own and do for ourselves.
>> Oh, you talking about >> We got black farmers. We got entrepreneurs out there. People that are scientists or doctors. Why we can't invest in ourselves?
>> Take a dollar from each family and build something >> every day. We can support black demons right now. I was >> about to say we play follow the lead.
>> Yes, >> we play follow the leader. You go first.
You go first. Once we see you out there, >> then we'll come out there with you.
>> You go first.
>> All right.
>> Oh, OG, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. OG, don't go nowhere. Real quick, just quick question.
>> I'm not going to go nowhere.
>> Were you Were you Were you uh around during the soul movement during the civil rights era?
>> Yes, I was.
>> Were you a teen around that time?
Just curious.
>> Not exactly. Not exactly.
>> But you remember what the people were like back then, right? That's my point is you you remember what the people were like back then.
>> I I was Okay, I'm going say this. I was on the shoulders of my father listening to the speech of Malcolm X when he made that speech on uh uh Linux Avenue, which was a diamond on that corner right there. It uh whatever I forgot the name of the building, but anyway. And he was talking about how we had been bamboozled, >> right? And so the point I was trying to make was the same way that they was talking to the youth back then, I feel like this is a conversation you should have with the youth now. You know, I feel like if this is something that you really think that we're not >> I am, brother. I am I >> Okay. So then you're doing it.
>> So So that means >> I'm saying to this is what I'm saying to us. Okay. I have a listing of uh where the black farmers are located. The black farmers are having problems. brothers that have trucks. We have to, you know, transport our food, get our own market.
They got Walmart. Why we can't have Soul Mark?
>> Maybe there's people doing it.
>> But that's what I'm saying. I feel like >> if you But listen what I'm saying. If you're supporting it, that means we're doing it. If you're one of us and you're doing it, that means we're all doing it.
So, you know what I'm saying? It's not it's you can't really generalize us and say, "Oh, nobody's doing it." when there are people that are working the plane >> cuz I'm one of those people too. So any local >> listen I said we need to get in know getting out there.
>> I remember a time when we used to get out there door to door >> open our neighbors door and and the children that was in our neighborhood.
>> Hold on me slow down. Slow down.
>> We have our you know that there are black grocery stores all across the country. I mean, yes, we might not have a parasitic chain like Walmart who just around to make sure small businesses don't thrive, but we we have independent grocery stores, community grocery stores. If you're not supporting them, you're part of the problem and issue.
And also, sir, we have uh black seed cotton farmers right now today down south. I don't know exactly where they at, but I have heard about it. And they're in the process of making uh uh uh different uh uh clothing material for different uh uh uh uh uh stores and uh people that's uh that's supporting them. Black farmer, black seed cotton farmers, you look it up. And uh like I say, I'm here I'm here in Detroit and uh it's a lot of great things is going on far as black businesses. So, you know, like just cuz you don't hear about it, brother, it's I mean things is happening. Things are going on. Not like we really want it to be, but it's coming back up, >> right? And we got neighborhood gardens.
We got neighborhood gardens and um they plant fruits and vegetables all over the place.
>> So, I don't know. Like, it's it all depends on where you are because we have a lot of like you got to move to a predominantly black place or go or get on the internet and just search American blackowned businesses. You know, they will show up. You I mean, you have to look for it.
>> Too much work for a lot of people. They It's going to be their excuse. Why is just not out there like Walmart? You see Walmart in every way.
>> Okay. Thank you all. Yousef, I hope that answered your question.
Um, thanks for coming up.
All right, Spart, we got a full We got plenty. We got people in the queue. So, Spart, did you get your answer?
>> Oh, yeah. I didn't even get um I don't believe I got to ask a question either, but >> Okay, go ahead. Go ahead. Um >> Oh, right on. So yeah, I was just curious, wanted to um inquire with the um uh the the FBA delegation in regards to the uh I believe the justice system this morning just proposed that $1.8 billion um fund that should be um for the I believe the drawing those participants in the January 6th insurrection. I was wondering um where where do you guys stand with that currently going on?
What? Who got somebody got pardoned?
>> Okay, let me repeat. So that um that there was a fund which was introduced this morning for $1.8 8 billion by the Justice Department uh to uh I believe to reconcile um all the you know problems that the um general insurrectionisters might have um experienced and I was wondering um where your take is on that issue.
Don't >> matter to us. I I don't think it really matters to us but I mean how is that going to affect the black community?
How's it going to affect my people?
Well, because um I'm hearing conversations of reparations. So, I'm thinking about which ones are priority um in terms of being the Red Natives already got reparations before us. The the small head community got reparations before us. The Japanese did. I mean, we're going to get ours. A matter of fact, we are getting ours. But yeah, I don't think that really affects our community. So, me personally, I don't really feel anything about it. I don't feel bad. I don't feel good. If somebody else want to answer his question, >> it don't matter to us and get out our business.
What? What? You trying to bring up these reparation questions? Ain't none of your business. And this the issue that we have. Why are you inquiring about what we're fighting for in our country against our government? Don't y'all have big fist to pride? y own y people that's destabilizing y countries or your own issues with your own leaders that look like y'all your own go like I'm not understanding y'all priorities are >> right and right and first of all sir first of all we've been u uh uh doing u surviving and making it before we had reparations we should have been had it we should have been the first people that ever had it. But we know how it is.
So we keep on going. We going we we always keep on going. So no matter what, when it come, it comes. And if it don't, we going to keep on until it do happen.
>> That's your old ass.
>> He gone.
>> What is that? Let him go.
He's a coward. So he's a coward.
>> That's the same every day when a new day, >> right? And then I was getting ready.
>> Wait a minute. Hold on everybody cuz we got people in the queue. So we got to rotate people out. Spart did you get your question answered?
>> Uh I could always rely on the black to say the most ignorant thing. So yeah, I believe >> that's why y'all get lit like patio dos over there in Africa still in 2026. So it don't even matter.
>> Hey, that [ __ ] white. That's a cracker you're talking to right there, man.
>> Who is you talking to? Why do you Yeah.
>> What's wrong with y'all?
>> I know they child look Jesus.
>> Um, okay. So, did he answer your question?
ignorantly. Yes, ma'am. But thanks for your time and enjoy the rest of your day. Thank you.
>> You're welcome. You can come back up. I just got to rotate. Landry, did you have your question answer? Did you have a another question?
>> No, I'm I'm eating my soul food right now. But if you got rotate off quick, >> I really am. I'm eating smoked.
>> I want to see since you done cared up already. Let me see this. No, it's better than that f food you you used to eating. That's why you don't want to talk.

Me, >> you heard me correct, my boy.
My son, he was just like, whoa.
I don't even want to answer the question.
>> Y'all listen. Y'all got to be >> y'all got to be the slowest people on the earth. How you going to sit here and insult somebody and then ask when we going to get together so you can get beat up? You You can't just Wait a minute. You can't come Wait a minute.
Listen. You can't come into our communities and around our people talking slick with that slick mouth.
It's not going to work. But I'm already here, so we're going to have to come together.
>> Listen, we won't get along with you. You can't How do you ask for unity and peace but come up here with a slick mouth?
>> It doesn't even make sense. You don't even know how to talk to someone.
>> I'm facing the same struggle you facing.
>> You ain't no Wait a minute.
>> No, he didn't just say that. No.
>> Yes. Yes.
>> Wait a minute. He's facing the same struggle.
>> That's a damn lie. Cuz I don't know what damn struggle you treat me no different.
They ain't treating me different.
>> I don't know what struggle you're facing, but I'm not struggling.
>> They ain't.
>> You might be struggling. Black privilege then.
>> No struggling.
>> I'm not black privilege.
>> You're not us. You're not black.
>> Well, I do. I have black.
>> What do you mean? I'm not your boy. I'm facing the same struggle.
>> You keep saying boy. That's how we know you have. You don't say stuff like that.
>> You're not damn sure, >> my boy. I'm facing the same struggle you're facing. I'm not your boy. I'm not your boy. Another racist term. You know that's a racist. Face it.
>> Okay. You don't know our history. So you you definitely not us a racist term.
>> I know your history.
>> You don't call no grown man. You say you say your history. That's what I'm saying. You not us. You keep othering yourself. So what questions of division question maroon su you want to say? Hold on. Refu been up here to talk.
>> Su.
It's funny how they um It's funny how they try to throw these slight little disses at us, then ask >> address me, my boy. I'm I'm only one here. Address me.
>> That's who I'm talking to. I'm talking to you. It's real strange that they do that. Then ask for unity. And the uh man that was up here was asking about the revolution. The delineation is the revolution. This the new revolution right here. Because we've been wasting our time and energy on people like him.
We've been um voting for the Democrat party who put these people above us.
We've been um focusing our time and energy on these immigrant civil rights movement, how we included them into our civil rights. And these people have done nothing but been disrespectful since they got here. And it's time for us to start focusing just on black American our lineage. And I believe it's going to be uh work out for the better.
Delineation always going to be uh better for us at the end because we going to start floating our money through our communities. Like they have a problem when we talk about delineating and doing the same thing they communities been doing since they got here. That's another crazy part that I don't understand why y'all mad. We doing exactly what y'all doing. Your grandfather, your mother, and all them did for generations. Now it's our turn.
And we going to see if them YT people going to support y'all businesses in their communities when y'all stop making dollars in ours.
>> You're right.
>> You're right.
>> Hey Rev. Hey, fall back for a second.
Okay, let me address let me address soul food for a second. You're soulful.
>> Like first first point first point I want to make to you, right? First point I want to make to you, right? Regardless of how you feel, right? You you got to understand that you know the old ways of doing things are far gone. Right? We live in a world now is becoming digitalized. You understand? One way or the other, we're gonna have to come together in solidarity for one cause >> and that and that's for liberty and justice for all.
>> You understand American pride. Hold on a second. FBM Maroon, I'm talking to Sofu, right, >> bro? You don't run nothing here, bro.
>> Respect what I think.
>> Fall back, my boy. I'm talking to my boy right there. Soulful. Go ahead, bro.
>> I think they job is to take our eyes off the uh off the YT supremacist that we be facing in this country. and um you know the wrongs that been done to us. They want us to take our eyes off of that, line up with these people so they can take a knife and put it right in our be in our backs. That's what I think they trying to do.
>> That's not what I think though.
>> I don't trust none of you people. I don't trust none of you people. If you ain't from our lineage, I don't trust you. I've been watching y'all actions.
I'm talking about the politicians who get into power. I've been watching y'all doctors. I've been watching a lot of y'all. And when we go back through history for the last 60 years since y'all been here, it ain't nothing good that came about it. And now we noticing and now we speaking up and we letting everybody know. I want y'all to keep talking. The internet been the worst thing that happened to Africans because y'all expose everything. I get to show my grandma what y'all say. I get to show my uh aunties what y'all say. A lot of pan Africans in my family are changing.

>> No, we're not. I used when Ice come to the hood.
Hold on. Hold on. Hold on. I'm responding to you, brother. We don't have to be We don't have to be no over talking.
>> I'm saying when Ice come to the hood, they not coming for us. They got their hands in their pockets. They chewing bubble gum and they standing around talking. That's not our fight. So now that we're delineating, now y'all want to act like we got to help y'all out when y'all had 60 years to do right. And we fought for y'all to be here.
>> So what is this fight that you took?

>> Well, I'm gonna handle mine 10 toes regardless where you with me or not with me.
