Blacks Silence Amid Crisis Creats tension within White People

Ajouté : 2026-06-01

[00:00:00]So, I just seen a video, right? It's a white guy, seemingly intelligent white guy, was talking about the response between different racial groups, specifically the white community and the black community. He is putting emphasis on how historically in times like this, how we have always reacted differently from the white community. He is noting, which he is right, that we as a people are very indifferent about the things that are going on right now. We have been fighting and we have been advocating against this machine for years, decades. I mean, be before my existence. And now we're at a point to where things seemingly looks irreversible or we have washed our hands with this. And there are whites that are are fighting.

[00:00:58]Righteously so. There are whites that are fighting for the core values and principles that this nation was supposedly founded on. There are people that still believe in America and and the foundations of that.

[00:01:12]Us as a whole, we have never really seen any benefits from that. So, that's why we are indifferent. Virtually, it's obvious that black folk are very spiritual folk as well, which is why we also move differently collectively as well. We know that the foundings of this nation, it was founded by an entity.

[00:01:35]And we're not talking about physically, we're talking about spiritually. There was a certain mindset that was being utilized when this foundation was created. That entity, spiritually still exist. I need y'all to to understand that entity that we have had to fight perpetually, at least over the last 400 years. So, we it differently because of that. We know spiritually what we're up against. We know what that means for our existence. We know what y'all are finding out and experiencing for the first time. I know it's a shock to y'all. We have learned to not only survive, but thrive in this type of climate.

[00:02:17]>> You want to talk about reparations?

[00:02:19]We pay reparations. What do you mean you want reparations? Our taxpayer dollars, which are mostly white people paying that, goes to what is it? Uh affordable housing, government programs, EBT, scholarships, DEI, you guys getting jobs. Holy Let's take all that, factor in the theft, factor in the crime, factor in the murders, and then we'll talk about reparations.

[00:02:43]>> the true America, the stipulation has always been that black people are lazy, that black people are on welfare. Well, guess what? A lot of poor white people in the red states are now crying. Crying they did not get in the EBT money from the EBT cards. Why? Because they are on welfare. They have seven and eight kids.

[00:03:00]Now the truth is coming out since Trump has slashed funding for the EBT and the SNAP programs. You see how many white people now are on welfare. So, all this mythical stuff about black people being on welfare. Oh, it's the blacks. It's the blacks. It's the blacks. Now you're seeing the real America, that it's not only black people on welfare, that there are a lot of white people on welfare, also. There are a lot of white people, a lot of poor people living in those red states. And those red states that voted for Trump are now getting hit hard.

[00:03:28]>> Something that is making white people to feel terrified, confused, and they are more panicking is because they ain't seeing black people complaining. So, they think black people ain't suffering that much as they are suffering. But, we're going to talk about that because it's not that black people ain't suffering. It's not black people don't want to complain. It's not that black people ain't feeling the heat that is a It's not that black Americans ain't affected by the gas prices.

[00:03:55]But what is happening is that the white America are just feeling an inch of what black folks have been feeling for decades.

[00:04:04]Black white America are just going only on stage one on what black people have been going for decades. Just imagine, black people went through slavery, went through segregation, and a lot of shits. White people did not go through that.

[00:04:20]White people are just going through the fuel price is high.

[00:04:23]But even black people didn't They were going through that They cannot even be allowed to have that fuel. You see what is happening? Maybe a white person or white American is crying a lot is happening because he cannot afford housing and he's sleeping on a small house or in a car.

[00:04:42]But black people were not even allowed to be close to that house. Black people were not even allowed to be on the neighborhood where there is houses.

[00:04:51]Black people were not even allowed to own cars. You see, it is different.

[00:04:55]Why are you panicking as a white person?

[00:04:57]You get that?

[00:04:59]Let's watch these clips here and then I'm going to come back with the more commentary as I always do.

[00:05:03]>> It's a crock-a-doodle.

[00:05:04]You know, we have no business over there.

[00:05:07]Stay here. We have nothing to do with that.

[00:05:09]>> What are you worried about?

[00:05:11]>> Getting blown up.

[00:05:12]Getting blown up? That's it? I hope I live.

[00:05:15]>> I just feel like any war is unnecessary.

[00:05:19]Um I don't really care about the gas prices. It's just the the loss of life.

[00:05:23]I feel that our country, our soldiers should not be in war, especially during these times with any country. Um because it affects us here at home and people overseas are dying for nothing.

[00:05:35]>> Are you scared that your children might be deployed?

[00:05:37]>> Yes.

[00:05:38]Absolutely, I am. I'm terrified of it.

[00:05:41]So, you know, it's like me telling my kids you can't tell them to come home because their body can come home.

[00:05:48]We always say come home alive.

[00:05:50]>> Do you think the administration, Donald Trump, were thinking about the impact it would have on American businesses when they went into this?

[00:05:56]>> I think it's hard to say. I you know, I whether I disagree or agree with what they did, I think it was something that, you know, he he had to do what he had to do in my opinion.

[00:06:04]>> Yes, it will definitely have an impact on gas prices. I think news, yes, they stated you know, it was 0.3 cents since last week.

[00:06:12]You know, so we're feeling the effect of all the little people. Not the big people, the little people. We're the one who matters. We're the one who feel it.

[00:06:17]We hurts us. The big people, it doesn't bother them.

[00:06:21]>> And how do you feel generally about this war?

[00:06:23]>> It's a crock-a-doodle.

[00:06:25]You know, we have no business over there. Stay here. We have nothing to do with that. But yet, we're trying to be policeman of the world and meddling in other countries' business. This should not be the case.

[00:06:35]>> I've been getting a lot of comments asking why I'm speaking for black people instead of letting them speak for themselves. And that right there is the problem because black people are speaking. Black people have been speaking. You just haven't been listening to them. And it's an incredibly sad reality, but white people tend to listen more readily to other white people than they listen to black people. It's gross. It's ignorant. And yes, it's rooted in racism, whether people admit it or not. Because black women have been talking about this Breonna Taylor case from the very beginning, their discomfort, their distress, their fear, their historical context behind why these stories feel so deeply unsettling to them. And instead of actually hearing them, people dismiss them as crazy, dramatic, conspiracy theorists. But then, a white woman says, "Maybe we should listen to black women."

[00:07:16]And suddenly, everybody can hear the conversation loud enough to get angry about it. And that alone proves the point. Because the issue was never that black women were silent. The issue was that too many of you only start paying attention once the message is coming from somebody white. And honestly, it's pathetic. And that should embarrass a lot of you.

[00:07:34]>> Black people, I can't get through my For You page three scrolls without seeing a video about the the people over in LA protesting.

[00:07:43]And if it's out of video about them protesting, there's all these different schools of thought on the protest.

[00:07:49]Or videos about the relationship that's kind of I don't want to say fractured, but a little strained between black people and I'll say brown people. And I wasn't going to say nothing because that's like a political conversation, political adjacent conversation, socio-political thing. But I'll tell you this, bro. Uh I'll be 32 this year.

[00:08:08]I've been living in Florida off and on since 2008 and I've lived in Texas. I've lived around every kind of Hispanic you could think of. Black people, we need to get out of the habit of trying to tell other groups of people who come to this country and want to align themselves with whiteness or be in proximity to whiteness what's going to happen to them.

[00:08:27]Because the enemy is white supremacy. It does harm to everybody, white people included. But the problem is that people come here and they want to perpetuate it thinking that they can trade and buy into it, not realizing that white supremacy is exclusive. It's not inclusive. You will never be them.

[00:08:47]Doesn't matter what kind of minority you are, doesn't matter how you try to breed your way into it, it don't matter how much money you make, you will never be them. Because to them, especially the ones who make the laws and make the money, that's all that matters. And that's not to say you got to turn around and be aligned with us, but you got to align yourself against them on every level. Not just the optics, but the ideas, too.

[00:09:14]And expecting other people to come to bat for you when it's time for you to fight is crazy, especially when we see you and we see how you are.

[00:09:26]We see what you do, we see what you say.

[00:09:29]Because black folk, really, we very empathetic and sympathetic towards everybody because we don't want to see nobody go through the same [ __ ] that we've already been through, bro.

[00:09:38]But everybody at every turn, every time are apathetic towards us.

[00:09:44]And we're tired. So, I'm saying black people, don't tell nobody [ __ ] Let them figure it out. Let them fight.

[00:09:51]And pray they win because ultimately, a win against white supremacy is still a win, no matter who won.

[00:09:56]>> The United States war in Iran will not stop [music] because white supremacists are incapable of recognizing when someone is not afraid of them. [music] Keith Kellogg and this administration keeps saying the mission is a great success. Oh my gosh, our our [music] our troops are just the way that they're operating in the the the effectiveness we're having on the battlefield and blah blah blah. They will either [music] capitulate to our blah blah blah or else the blah blah blah. They are The mental illness that is white supremacy completely takes out the [music] filter that allows you to recognize these people don't give a [ __ ] about you. They don't give a [ __ ] about [music] your threats. They don't give a [ __ ] about what you're capable of. They don't care about what you have. They don't care about how mad you are. They don't care about [music] how much you don't like They are not afraid of you and they will not stop cuz they have never been afraid of you.

[00:10:39]>> [music] >> Iran is not afraid of the United States. And it's funny, Keith [music] Kellogg keeps throwing out this phrase in these hearings. Do you not take them seriously when they say death to America? No, you don't take them seriously when [music] they say death to America. You don't take it seriously because you are a white supremacist. You do not understand what those words [music] mean. They are not afraid of you. When you turn to me as an American citizen [music] and you say, "You know, those people up there, they say death to America." My response is, "Did you hear that?" No one gives a [ __ ] No [music] one No one is [ __ ] scared of you, you squinty prick.

[00:11:13]>> I remember the first time I went to a food bank and they gave me an onion. I actually cried, and not like onion cried, but cried cried because it wasn't required food. It was flavor and that was a luxury I couldn't really ever afford. And then I learned that they had like taco seasoning and oh my god, it was amazing. But when you're used to getting by on so little and the only security you really feel you have is the ability to make a dollar stretch. It is scary to ask for help and you wonder who you're taking it away from. So, when people take aid when they're destitute as opposed to like nearly I think people can jump into judgment because they probably need the aid just as much as the person who received it and they're scared it won't be there when they're long past needing it. And guys, there's enough to go around.

[00:11:52]>> Just a friendly reminder that in 15 years, everyone will claim that they were never a part of MAGA.

[00:11:57]>> So, this has already started to happen and I've noticed this being a stand-up comic who goes on tour. So, in January, my husband and I performed in a city that was definitely very Republican conservative heavy. We drove down and there were Trump MAGA signs everywhere.

[00:12:10]When we performed our sets, it was very clear that it was a very conservative audience. Both my husband, Dave, and I have like a lot of progressive jokes in our set, so like we're on stage like rewriting our entire set as quickly as we possibly can to ensure that like we would get out of there alive. So, recently, we were hired back to perform in that same city. And since we already did it, we're like, "Okay, we now know what we're getting into. Let's, you know, get sets prepared that we know will work in those cities." And we drove in and we noticed that the Trump signs were gone. Not just a few, we couldn't find one. The main drive that we took into the city was literally littered with MAGA. They were gone. We were shocked. Now, I'm sure in other parts of the city, I'm sure people still had their signs up, but it was like night and day from like the last time we came down, which was in January. And the crowd looked the same. They were about the same age group, they were dressed the same, they looked the same in terms of like ethnicity. It looked like a bunch of old white boomers. But, Dave went up before me and I could see him about halfway through a set going, "I'm going to try something." And he did one of his really super progressive jokes.

[00:13:14]When I tell you I have never seen that joke crush as hard as it did, I was shocked. It was a literal applause break. I was literally holding my breath while he was doing that joke cuz I I "Oh my god, they're going to turn on him.

[00:13:26]They're going to start throwing things at him."

[00:13:28]Literal applause break. So, yeah, no, I'm seeing in little baby ways, it's already happening. It's not like enough, but yeah, no, people are already trying to erase their actions. So, start keeping track of those receipts now because they're already starting to erase what they've done.

[00:13:43]>> Well, yes, political divisions have been growing stronger with less middle ground and more us versus them thinking. Now, as financial pressures increase, those divisions are becoming >> White people add a hundred years to how long ago slavery was.

[00:13:59]>> [laughter] >> I've heard educated white people say slavery was four hundred years ago. No, it very wasn't.

[00:14:08]It was a hundred and forty years ago.

[00:14:10]That's two seventy-year-old ladies living and dying back to back.

[00:14:16]That's how recently you could buy a guy.

[00:14:20]And it's not like slavery ended and then everything has been amazing. Like it JUST >> OOH, GLAD THAT'S OVER.

[00:14:27]>> OH, YEAH, just ended like a clean where you don't have to wipe. Just boom, and then it's just been parades and presents ever since.

[00:14:38]You got to You got to remember that if you meet a black person and have gray hair, they remember a time they weren't allowed to use a certain toilet. So, give them a little, you know, time to be cranky.

[00:14:48]>> I have just one little point cuz you know, white folks, we love to do this, right? White white folks, particularly around race, we like to say things like, "Why can't black people just get over it?" Like, "Slavery was a long time ago." And All right?

[00:15:04]"Why can't they just move on?" Well, uh this is sort of precious coming from people who set off fireworks every July 4th.

[00:15:12]Cuz that's some old too, right?

[00:15:15]Like Independence Day, that didn't happen last week, right? We didn't break away from the British last Thursday.

[00:15:20]That's some old But we're still celebrating So when it's stuff that makes us feel good, we love it.

[00:15:26]When it's stuff that makes us feel better than others, superior, like we're the greatest people in the greatest country ever struck off from the forehead of God almighty, oh, we'll remember that forever.

[00:15:34]We just don't like the stuff that brings us up a little short, makes us look a little less than superior, maybe not quite as good as we'd like to believe.

[00:15:40]>> So, I posted about white folks on food stamps, and one thing I kept seeing was that welfare was created for white people. I knew that it was created during the New Deal, so I did some more research because I didn't really know the whole story, and I thank you guys for responding, um, and and helping me learn stuff.

[00:16:04]So, during the Great Depression is when we saw the beginning of things like Social Security, unemployment insurance, but here's the kicker.

[00:16:12]When Franklin Roosevelt built those programs, he had to make deals with Southern Democrats in Congress, the same folks who were big fans of Jim Crow, to get the support of these racist white Southern politicians, the programs were designed to exclude farm workers, domestic workers, jobs held overwhelmingly by black, Latino, and indigenous people. So, right from the start, black and brown families were pushed out of benefits so white people could get them.

[00:16:52]Then we move forward to the 1960s, and there's this war on poverty. It finally opened up welfare programs more broadly, and that's when food stamps became permanent. Well, permanent, we don't know what Trump's going to do to them, but, um, they lasted a long time. And guess what? The minute more black and brown families started accessing this help, the politics shifted. Welfare got a new image and a new target. By the 1980s and '90s with Ronald Reagan and his gang, they pushed the welfare queen myth. That's a racist dog whistle meant to turn public opinion against safety nets by blaming black women for poverty that white policies created.

[00:17:32]That's the truth, you guys. So yes, welfare was built for white people and when others finally got in the door, they tried to burn the house down. If you want to blame the right people, you got to get curious.

[00:17:43]>> Welcome back. I hope you are doing great and amazing. Now, one thing for sure I want to talk about is that black people went through a lot of evils.

[00:17:55]Not sin, evil.

[00:17:58]Black people went through a lot.

[00:18:01]Not problem.

[00:18:02]They went through a lot of dumb [ __ ] And the reason why black people ain't complaining right now is because whatever is happening is whatever they warned about. Whatever is happening is whatever they is so it coming when you vote this side and they were ready for it.

[00:18:20]They complained, they warned, nobody listened to them and they set back, they went back, they planned how to go on on this issue. When you talk about them complaining, you cannot complain on this situation when you are you passed over slavery. When you passed over chains and you survived on chains, you survived segregation, you survived inequalities, you survived racism, you survived all of that.

[00:18:50]Nothing beats that. Complaining over fuel prices sounds like a kid play.

[00:18:57]Because when black Americans were kids, they were subjected into adulthood problems.

[00:19:03]Right now they are adults, now they are having these kids problems and they are like this is very simple. And that's why a lot of MAGA supporters are crying out here and black folks are like, oh, it's okay. It's okay. We are seeing things are good. We want you."

[00:19:17]Now, just listen to what or do what you got to do. We are off this. That's what is happening. And white folks are like, oh, this is not new. Whatever is happening happened back before, but you as a white person, as a white America, you were being shielded by the system.

[00:19:34]You were being protected by the system, and this is not And now it is knocking on your doors. You are opening your door, and you are finding the medical bills. You are opening your door, you are finding student loans. You are opening your door, you are finding the the the the gas prices, the groceries are high. There's nobody else to help you. The system is not on your side. And then you are like, "Oh, we are suffering." Black folks suffered a lot. Even for black people, it's not called suffering. Imagine being on chains, and yet you are going through hardship. White folks are not in chains.

[00:20:08]At least the system still's on your side.

[00:20:10]At least the system wants to make you America with make you great again. At least the system is supporting your racism ideology.

[00:20:18]Yes.

[00:20:19]Just keep quiet. Enjoy the moment. As a white American, as a MAGA supporter, enjoy the moment.

[00:20:26]Not all white people are not seeing this. Some white folks are seeing this, and they are calling out. They are saying, "We better listen to black folks because they warned us, and we regret. We need to stand up."

[00:20:37]They are now regretting, and they want that change now. They want black people to help them, but black people are saying, "You know what? We are here.

[00:20:45]When you are warning you, there's no need for us to come in between. Let us be silent. Let us go back to the drawing board. Let us strategize how we are building our world as black folks." Now black people are supporting each other.

[00:20:56]Now black people are trying to reconnect, to unite with their identity.

[00:21:00]Now black people are looking for something different to do. Not always going to the street and protesting. They are doing something different.

[00:21:09]And this something different is making white America to to be flabbergasted.

[00:21:14]Wait a minute.

[00:21:16]We thought this problem is all of us we are going through. Why are they doing this? Why are they not going the street?

[00:21:21]Why are they not on the King's protest?

[00:21:23]And one of the veteran said, "King's protest is not for black folks. People of color, they warned. People of color, they protested. We never listened to them. We never joined them. If you are here looking for black people on this crowd, then you are lost. The white people who are here protesting are those who are regretting not to listen to black people. And before it's too late, let's go to the streets." That's how it is. The complaining and the suffering that white folks are going through, it could have been avoided if they could have listened to black people earlier.

[00:21:57]But because they didn't listen to them, now, wow, it is on ashes. A lot of MAGA supporters have made videos saying they regret they regret.

[00:22:05]Don't say you regret. Just say you didn't listen to black people. Just say black people are right.

[00:22:11]Accept black people are right. And find ways for you now to put levels, to put you know, how you want to play your your role there. It's amazing to see that some white people have woken up and they are like, "This it was bad.

[00:22:28]I wish I could listen to black people.

[00:22:31]I wish I could listen to them now. Wait a minute. I can join hands with them.

[00:22:37]I can go to the protest. I can call out this system." When they start calling out the system, that is the best idea we want to do.

[00:22:43]Call out the system.

[00:22:45]Support black activist. Support black Not just being an ally and enjoying the system. No. If you want to be an ally, then you need to actively condemn the system and do whatever it takes. But if you are an ally and you still don't want the privilege to go away.

[00:23:04]This is the benefits of it. Tell me what you think in the comment section. Until next episode, peace out.
