This analysis masterfully bridges the Atlantic divide by grounding Pan-African identity in genetic and cultural continuity rather than mere sentiment. It offers a necessary intellectual rebuttal to isolationist movements, prioritizing communal integrity over divisive sub-group labels.

Afro Think Tank is live!
Added:All right, I'm goddamn back.
All right, so OSHA called me. I'm back.
I couldn't I figured out, but I sent O'Shea a a WhatsApp. He said I wasn't answering my WhatsApp.
I didn't know I was scheduled to check my WhatsApp and answer all of them, you know, at the same It's Saturday. All right. It's freaking Saturday. All right. But he called me out and I'm right here. You know, he wants to discuss our different versions of pan-Africanism.
So, what I think I'mma do is I'mma wait for him to maybe pop up in the comment section or something like that and then I guess I'll send him a invite or however that work or we'll stop and start or whatever. But that's what we going to do.
Oh, I actually I want to come to I need to come to Ghana. I have family in Ghana. I did my DNA and I actually have gen I found my genetic relatives in Ghana who has never ever been to America ever. Right? If more people did that, you would find a connection.
More people did their DNA. Like we need what we need is we need more people on West Africa to do their DNA because even the distribution of genetic code that African-Americans have if a Nigerian or a person from Ghana did the DNA test their genetic spread would say the same thing Mali Bikini Fo Togo Benin uh southern Africa various other uh uh different ethnic groups. So if like a Nigerian, if you look up YouTube, when Nigerians do their DNA, it's the same spread as an African-American minus sometimes the European cuz people forget. They act like white folks wasn't raping Africans in Africa at the same time as bringing us to the Americas and raping us. I mean, there are plenty of Africans walking around with that damn British colonizer blood in them and [ __ ] So I don't understand why people think there's much of a difference.
You going to pay for my ticket? See, you just should have lay with that one. If you go Hey, listen. I ain't Hey, I I'm all about I take some free [ __ ] You pay for my ticket, email me. You pay for my ticket, I'll be there. [ __ ] Y'all hosting me, I'll be there [laughter] for real, but I'm live now. He said one hour. Now, y'all know I run my mouth a hour by myself. And y'all know OSH Doo Jackson, that [ __ ] run his mouth for an hour by himself. And I really do value my time. You know what I'm saying? Like I value my time. So an hour, that's a long You know what I could be doing in an hour? Huh? You know what you could do in an hour?
So I'm here. So whenever he shows up, cuz I got some questions and I'm going to see if he going to answer it. It's real simple. What's going on, fam? I don't see what the complication is with this Panaffrican. I don't see what's so complicated. I really don't. I don't see There's no controversy. There's no It's not a complex issue. It's I'm black, you black. That's all I need to know. I'm black, you black. Doesn't matter your geographical location. I didn't know water I didn't know water separated people, you know? I didn't know water disconnected us.
And I didn't know that that if I was to stand here and you was to stand over there, if there was like a kitty pool in between us, I didn't know that disconnected our cultures and our race.
I didn't know that, right? Cuz apparently the Atlantic Ocean, the distance between America and and West Africa, the Atlantic Ocean, somehow the magical salt water must have separated us from our African, you know, that's why we don't have a connection cuz we're separated by some salt water. But I guess dirt and land, I guess that keeps maybe the conduit they they talk. I don't know how that, you know, I don't know how that work. You know what I'm saying? But I'm just as African as any African in Africa. And and it it's just what it is, right? Water does not define, you know, who we are, right?
Africa is is within us. We are born African. That's like the hardware, right? Whatever culture you are is what your culture is. Like I'm an American, too. I'm proud to be American because the best parts of America is us. So I'm not like anti-American. I'm pro-American. My entire family, my entire black family, all right, was brought over here during the transatlantic slave trade. I know and been to this master's house where my ancestors were brought over. I've been into the masses quarters and held the chains of my ancestors. I've I've been in the slave quarters. I've been to the unmarked graves where my ancestors were, I guess, weren't good enough to get a headstone. So there's there's there's grave. I've stood over it and poured libations on my ancestors that didn't know freedom. So I've been in my plantation, Lynchberg, Virginia. How ironic is the name, right? Lynchberg, Virginia. Not that far. I'm in Washington DC. Lynchberg, Virginia.
Right. All of my family members fought in every single war that this country has participated in. Every one of them, including myself. I'm a real warrior.
You understand? Like I'm not playing here. Like there's some people who playing panafricanism.
There's some people who's who's playing revolutionary because the algorithm says, "Hey, that's trendy." The algorithm says, "Let's talk about this. Let's talk." That's trilly.
That people follow the waves of algorith. I don't follow the wave of algorithm. If y'all been watching me, I've been the same person since I've been on YouTube talking about the same stuff even when it wasn't even popular.
Now look all these black YouTubers out here on their pro black tip. Now look, look all these black YouTubers on their pro black tip. Now, now that it's somewhat starting to, you know, make a little money, but back when I was doing it, I make a video, put a whole bunch of effort, it get 25 views cuz cuz the algorithm wasn't pushing positive content, right? So, when I be here, people call me Tether, I'm like, dog, you don't even know who you talking to. I'm a quintessential African-American. I am the definition of African. My family is black excellence.
My family is black excellence. We fought every one of these wars. All the women in my family, all of them. These are the ones who constructed my the women in my family constructed the government working for the federal government for 40 years. Uh all my all all the women in my family, all their all their their husbands and their sons participated in all the wars. All my all the all the old grandmas in my families was working for the government. and they was building bullets and and and manufacturing plants ac across Europe partic helping the troops while they was fighting authoritarianism. The same thing we fighting right now. Nobody can question my Americanism either. Nobody can question that. And nobody can question my Africanists because I've done the research. I know the first African that came to the Americas. I've done all the work necessary to find my genetic matches. And where I am in Nigeria is a portion of where my ancestors came from not that long ago. I I don't know why people be thinking we've been gone for 500 years. We have not been gone for 500 years. The African Brazilians have been gone for 500 years. The Caribbeans have been gone for 500 450 years. If you are an African-American, you are one of the latest Africans to come to the Western Hemisphere. You've been here for 250 to 350 years. A lot of you Africans don't realize that you're only a couple grandmas away from being in West Africa. We have if you go to the National Archives in Washington DC, all right, there are records. That's That's why I said I don't understand the Pretendians and all these weirdos and [ __ ] They they white people kept records. There is no strategic reason why there's no strategic reason why to tell us that we're not African. There's no reason like to pretend that we're in there's no reason to brainwash us to make us believe that we are like something other than it that it doesn't make a difference to them. It's capitalism. Do the work. That's that's what they cared about. They didn't care about none of that [ __ ] Their whole thing was to stop us from uniting. All right. And when I hear people say, you know, since, you know, I ain't seen no show yet, you know, I'm sure he's running around somewhere, he'll figure it out. And then I, you know, I'll give him his hour. But if an hour go by and I'm running my mouth, then maybe he won't get the hour cuz he called me the one hit me up on WhatsApp, right? And then didn't give me a time. I couldn't wake up. It's Saturday. And then he called me out publicly on on social media. I guess maybe he thought peer pressure or oh, if I call him out, he'll be forced to go live. You know, those are these are all tactics, right?
Understand OSHA is trying to ride the algorithm of the drama right now because right now everybody's talking about them, right? You know, I made one video, I called them out about a specific topic and now, you know, people making videos and it's a perfect time to, you know, why not do a oneonone, you know, people want to see that, right? So, I understand the business aspect of it, but since I don't care about the business aspect of it, you know, I don't care about the algorithm. I wait to this [ __ ] I wait the [ __ ] die off and then make a video about it just to be an [ __ ] But I you know because it's O'Shea, you know, I'll give him you know, you know, cuz y'all know I don't like I don't I don't be going live cuz I don't be I don't be want to talk to these dumb ass [ __ ] You know what I mean?
Like they they be some dumb ass some dumb ass [ __ ] I'll be like, "Shut the [ __ ] up. Take his phone away from him.
Huh? I wish you wouldn't pay your bill.
Goddamn. You know what I'm saying? [ __ ] Like, everybody got a phone now. Just run in their mouth. Be confident as hell. Don't know what the he talking about, you know? But, you know, OSHA's intelligent dude. I just think that I don't know, man. He be throwing me off cuz dude do do pana African stuff in the real world but then come online and talk [ __ ] right and now he got and here's the problem with here's the problem with with O'Shea okay for all his good intentions I feel his strategy his the problem is his capitalistic strategy of riding that algorithm chasing the drama utilizing his tactics that he used for celebrity junk in his King Ghana pan-African like style it don't work because the thing is you are the content you create people you know people do grow right I understand that right but you are the content that you create right there is content O'Shea used to make and this before I knew O'Shea O'Shea did do that red pill manners stuff where he was part of that group that was bashing black women right under the guides of uh equity right you know women, men who have issues with women and stuff like that that obviously became extremely toxic, right? And O'Shea Duke Jackson sometimes he have a little henny, he go live then he just start going and then maybe he forget what he say or or you know or and people record you. So you got to remember man you say [ __ ] on the internet even if you delete it somebody didn't delete that [ __ ] you know and they remember you for it. So your repres your your reputation precedes you. So then you slide into another algorithm, right? Because if you're in the business of making content, you got to, you know, and if you're trying to make money and a living off of it, you got to you got to do what you got to do, right? And he slides into controversy, slides into more controversy, right? And now he has King Gandh and his dating show, all those good things, right? But how do you marry celebrity junk and that kind of content in his manosphere with panafricanism?
How do you marry that? Because the thing is to be a Panaffrican, you love, it's not just, you know, loving or loving or working with other Africans. It's loving and working with women that look like you, black women. If you're a black man, the first move to pan-Africanism is loving your black woman. That's the first institution. You got to sew up the first institution, right? So, the first thing you do as a pan-African is you create a family, right? to show that you can create a unit, the smallest unit of organization. You respect your your family, if you respect your mother, you respect your daughter, respect your potential wife because she's going to be your potential a potential mother, right? If you spend a lot of time bashing black women, it's not very panaffrican, right? Now, uh and so after that, you got to look at your community, right? Uh do I get along with my neighbors? Do I get along? How is my community organized? Right? Uh, you know, in America, we got an issue with our community as black people. Our communities fight over streets that don't belong to them, right? Our children are put in situations to where, you know, they're picking colors and street names as their clans instead of their people, right? Because of we've been discombobulated, right? So, as a Panaffrican, our after after the family structure, the the second thing should be our community and how we are in relationship with our community, right?
Like if you're selling drugs to your community and you're selling you're doing things like that, you know, disrupting your community for money, that's not pro your community. That's not pro black. You can't be a Panaffrican, right? So any of these little West Coast thug [ __ ] you know, with the gang throwing up, you not pro black. If you throwing up gang signs, you're not pro black. You're a white supremacist in blackface. You're you're a weapon for white supremacy.
You're a tool for white supremacy. Even though you wrapping up hip-hop rapping paper, you're a weapon for white supremacy. So that's another layer, right? And then you got uh on a on a bigger scale, then you got nationality.
As a Panaffrican, I care about all the black people in America. All of us, right? Even though we're all different within America, all black people, we have different cultures. New York, different culture from DC, DC, different culture from Atlanta, right? But I can say this, from New York to DC, there's intersectionality, right? From New York to DC, we start to fade. You get Pennsylvania, you get a little more New Orleans, you get Delaware, right? You get Philly, and by the time we get to New Jersey, and then we in New York, you see how the the the cultures from DC all the way to New York, it's slightly changed, but you can see the intersectionality in both of them, right? And let's go down south from DC, right? You got us. We go further. You got Virginia, you got North Carolina, Atlanta. Everybody know Everybody know Atlanta is like the hub in the south for black folks. Everybody knows DC is the hub for black folks in the in in in um the Mid-Atlantic and then New York is the hub up in the north, right? But from New York all the way down to Atlantic, you can see the intersectionality of the cultures, even though they're different, all the way down to Florida. And when you get to Florida, you got the you got the Florida boys and the intersectionality between the Southerners and the Caribbeans.
That's why I say Caribbeans ain't nothing but South South Floridaians for real. Right. Right. That's all they really is. So even though we all have different cultures, right, as it manifested based off our ge geographical location and the different struggles that we've had, you know, due to our shared trauma, we we all are still the same, right? And then when you go on the national scale, the only thing that separates African people from Caribbeans and continental and African-Americans, and I know some people that y'all think I'm I hope y'all don't think I'm being disrespectful when I say continental Africans, but you got to understand we're having conversations and we have to define each other so we can have the conversation. So continental African just means Africans who were born on the continent, right? I'm just saying that, not saying that you're separate. I'm just saying it as a a geographical indicator of who we talking about. And then you got the Caribbeans, Afro Latinos, and African-Americans. That's the only reason I say that, right? But we're all just Africans, right? So, if you look at on a on an international scale, what's really the difference between a Nigerian and an African-American and a Jamaican?
Nothing. When you see Jamaicans, when you look at their comedy, right, their little comedy skits, let's say, uh, Jamaican from the age of 16 to to like 35, right? Look how look on social media. Look how we we do our comedy based off how we interact with our ladies, how we like, you know, their bum bums, how we how we, you know, find [ __ ] funny even though it ain't supposed to be funny. If you look at Nigerian media and you look at African, it's the same [ __ ] It's the same young boys chasing the same women, right? But just speaking a different form of English or speaking a different language, but it's the same swag, the same style, right? If you look at how like continental Africans, some of them, right, who may be uppidity, but keep in mind upy ones we dealing with in America are upy over there in their continent and and and the regular folk don't like their ass either. All right?
That's just true, right? Just like we got problems with our uppies. Everybody got problem with the uppies, right? But y'all know how we shake our ass in America, right? We got twerking. We got, you know, we just all kind of ass shaking. And people like to associate that with ghettoness, right? With being ghetto. How we just our women just like to throw that thing. Just throw that throw that ass in a circle. We just throw that ass in a circle, right? But when you go to the Caribbean, all right, you go to Carnival, they're winding.
They're throwing that ass in a circle.
All right. But that's that's considered culture, right? But ours is considered ghetto, but that's considered culture.
But then you go further, you go to Africa, they throwing that ass in a circle [snorts] in advanced settings.
Okay? They make all they put all of us to shame. Like we think we got moves, right? And Caribbeans think they got moves until you go to Africa and see they got advanced [ __ ] they've been doing for million years. We only got a few moves compared to their [ __ ] And they shaking ass in a circle at very formal and traditional settings.
We all shake our ass. So how is it that you can see another black person shaking our ass and you call it ghetto and you think you better than somebody when we all do it because our cultures are the same. It's just modified.
African-American culture is Afric West African culture just modified. That's it. It's a continuation. Right. So I be thinking we be having like these use these useless conversations that don't go nowhere like oh [ __ ] uh no Tariq Nash and she right the way he he set his poison pill for FBA was to to he he was riding on that who invented hip-hop thing cuz he knew that African-Americans are we're very serious about our music and that if anybody say they created it we going to you know he knew people were going to be up in arms with that right and that's how he got that's how he started the that's how he got into the dashboard Wars and from that hip-hop thing, it just set off. That's who that Dwan B the nonf funny comedian, right?
Who was going to the the hidden history donut shop and performing and [ __ ] Now he on YouTube. He uses the same thing.
He I'm a hip-hop historian and from there he branches out to xenophobia and hate, right? But he's not as bad. He's not as bad as Tariq, right? But he doesn't cuz he he get to the bag because he knows there a group of of people out there who watch this [ __ ] Poverty porn.
people all get online and they just want to fight cuz they ain't got nothing else to do in their in their real life, right? So, so you know they start these diaspora wars and of course because Caribbeans and black people are in fact black, right? They clap back because that's what black people do. And then once FBA hears an Jamaican or a black Brit or or African clap back, they're like, "Oh my god, did y'all hear what they said about us?" Right? And then they use FBA is important for them to label make FBA foundational black American to label all African-Americans.
That way when somebody claps back at FBA or Tariq, they'll say, "Hey, look guys, they were talking about you." When in fact, they weren't talking about you.
They were talking about you, not all of us. Right? That's why it's important to distinguish between FBA and and African-Americans. Don't call me no FBA. FBA is a xenophobic hate group started by Tariq Nasheed because he could not steal [ __ ] That's what it is, right? We as African-Americans did not collectively agree that FBA is going to be what we would go by, right? And just like these supposed FBA members say they don't want other people naming them, right? We African-Americans don't want somebody like Tariq Nasheed who has no credentials.
No credentials that could be respected.
He has no He's not a real filmmaker. If he's a filmmaker, I'm a filmmaker. is if if if he's if Tariq's a filmmaker, then every YouTuber who's make a video longer than 30 minutes is a filmmaker because literally we're all doing the same [ __ ] So there's nothing he's not done anything impressive, right? Hidden history one was cool cuz he had a bunch of other scholars talking about some stuff. Some was pseudo, some was true, but it just got us interested in our own history, right? And then he flipped the script again when he changed the algorithm. See, Tariq Nashi is the old analog hustler. He used to sell CDs in his in his trunk and [ __ ] in the parking lot. Kmart parking lot. Y'all remember Kmart? Yeah. That [ __ ] right?
That type of [ __ ] right? He he he threw he with them dudes who used to get the hotel room for $400 and charge 35 at the dope, right? To have people have debates and [ __ ] like he one of them. But he was actually never as good as the people had. He was always kind of on the side cuz Tariq's not good at debating. He's not good at that. He's not good at being confronted with actual information. He likes to talk to people who are stupid.
That way he and he needs to have his finger on the mute button. So anytime he accidentally talk to somebody that ain't stupid, he can mute their ass and then fill a buster and say some dumb [ __ ] because, you know, he thinks he's a pimp and a map and he don't like to be talked back, right? So he got some skills. He knows how to manipulate people who are um who are self-conscious about themselves, who are who um who have low self-esteem. That's lit. He wrote a book on it. the art of the Mac book that like that was about how to manipulate people.
So yeah, so he just manipulate more people now and he found a way to make money money from it, right? And that's just what he does. Like he's not intelligent. He's just a decent analog hustler which I find weird that people think he funny cuz the dude ain't funny.
Like he's not even when he he cracking jokes, the dude ain't funny. And maybe it's because I'm DC. I'm from DC and we can roast. We we the best roasters like ain't like we the best roster people from DC. We the best roasters. We are the roast masters and maybe and we funny as [ __ ] and we are known for comedy and and we we're known for that [ __ ] Look at some of the greatest com comedians in the world. They're from here. We just it's our it's what we do. Like in New York best lyricist when it come to rapping they're the best lyricists on the planet. They they that art form is them right. when it comes to comedy and that art form, that's that verbal art form. That's us, right? So maybe my standards are high, but I don't know what y'all find funny about that dude. I he don't make me laugh at all.
He's pretty corny for Dwan B ain't funny. That [ __ ] ain't funny at all.
Cuz if he was, he'd be doing stand up, but he not. He on YouTube Griffin FBA.
He probably more successful doing that.
Let me see. Okay, so OSHA still ain't showed up. I guess I was on his time, huh? Cuz I didn't answer his WhatsApp.
Uh, I didn't move fast enough.
[laughter] But, uh, but yeah. And then, so, so back to O'Shea. So, my problem with O'Shea is for the money. And y'all heard me say this, for the money, he's doing #FBA. He literally says # FBA cuz if you say FBA, it pushes the algorithm. Everything OSHA does is to push the algorithm. And I don't know if you guys know it cuz not all of y'all content creators, but as of late, YouTube has changed their algorithm, right? So, if you notice, all the travel vloggers, all the passport bros, all the guys that was killing it a couple years ago because they would share they would share your videos with your subscribers, right? They would pump it out. So when the when with the algorithm was algorithm, right, all the people who had established older channels, they were being pushed to their subscribers and new subscribers.
So the money was coming in, right? So yeah, you can get on a plane, go to Kenya, say a couple words, you know, drum up some controversy cuz they ain't got no damn talent, right? And then when they do that, they got 30, 40, 50, 60,000 views per video and they making bank, right? But now after the algorithm change, that [ __ ] ain't happening no more. So that's why you see like Austin Hollowman that [ __ ] probably live right now. Like I don't know what kind of battery he got in his phone.
Austin Holland I don't know what he got the best battery cuz that junk is never dead. Like that dude stay he must got a power bank and he just connect that [ __ ] and just sit it power bank in his phone cuz that dude is now he's a slave to live because he can't survive no more with his previous content. He can't survive cuz first of all he built his subscriber base as like a passport bro/manosphere dude. Then he tried to pivot a little bit when he got to Africa. He used to talk [ __ ] about black people and y'all know I went on Austin Hollerman, right? But then he started to grow a little bit. He been I mean I ain't going he grow he's grown a little bit, right? But it still is him, right?
But you know I got to be honest, he found him a woman. He went to African family and woman.
I mean and I'm not and I'm not wanting to question anybody. She's clearly an African woman, but he did show enough went to go find the most. He went and found the lightest. I don't even know how he ran into one that I ain't never seen one that like, but she is gorgeous.
So Z is gorgeous. Like he went a found him a good one. And I'm proud that he found him a war. Like he actually found a woman, which is like where other passport bros actually succeeding in what they say they going over there for.
All right. Cuz they say they going over there because the women are better, but actuality they just they just cost less to have sex with them. That's the truth.
Because real passport, let me tell you what passport bros are. Cuz every one of these countries I pretty much been to already in the military. Passport bros are the friends of people who were in the military. And the people in the military was like, "Yeah, man. You need to go to Thailand. You need to go to Philippines, right? You need to go to Colombia. You need to go to Brazil." And then they was like, "Oh, for real?" And they went and got a passport and went and found out. That's all. It's cheap prostitution. It's sex it's it's sex tourism. That's all it is. Passport bros were sex tourism. That's why I don't like to be called passport bro. I'm a passport professional. I'm on my third passport. Third number three. Okay?
Right? Like that. That's professional.
Passport bros are on their first passport and they just discovered, you know, other countries. And if you notice, most passport bros got the same problems when they go to other countries, right? They're socially awkward and because of that, women get kind of cringey around them, right? So, they got to go pay for it, right? That's all they're doing. They're paying for for sex, right? and and it's really expensive to and you say, "Hey, well, for the amount of money that you pay to go overseas to have sex, you could have just stayed here and bought bought."
Yeah, you could have, but it's actually more economical to go overseas because you can leave because the trick is here's the real here's the real's the real deal. They go over there because overseas when they say 1 hour, they actually mean one hour. In America, one hour just means you just paid an extra, but you still only gonna get get that one and you're done. All right.
Overseas, you can pay for overnight, right? And pay a couple hundred. Over here, if you think you going to get one for overnight, you're paying a couple thousand dollar. So, it actually is more economical to go over there. Like, that's just the truth. All right. Women do it, too. Women Women are passport chicks. They go to They go to Gambia.
They go to Zanzibar. They go to Jamaica.
Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Them dudes out there.
They go to Nigeria. [ __ ] What dog? That Nigeria, Ghana, the Gambia is where women in Jamaica is where women go to have sex with black men. Young black men. Them older them older black women.
They be in their 40s and and 50s. You know, they got they got a townhouse out in BBS and [ __ ] Got two cars, no man.
Kids grown in college and [ __ ] And they just Stella just trying to get their groove back. That's all. And they go over there and they go get them one of them young 19, 20 year old 6 foot pluck right out the ground. African men [ __ ] And they will do anything because them women be throwing money. Them women will throw all kind. They will take care of you, baby. [ __ ] Hey, y'all know them women, they go to the goddamn jail house, go get them a a pen pal, take care of their ass, fill up their canteen, and when they get out, try to take care of them. But nine times out of 10, you know what I'm saying? the dude come out of jail and then skip out on them once they get the freedom. But it be that kind of woman. They just go to Africa. Matter of fact, you better off if y'all that kind of woman, you better off going to get one in Africa. You go get you a fresh Nigerian, fresh guy.
They do anything you say. They fix your tie, fix your car, all that [ __ ] You just take care of they be all right. I mean, hey, if y'all agree, I ain't mad at it, right? But uh but the thing is when it comes in in all seriousness, I'm back. We gonna go back to the point since OSHA didn't show up, right? So, let me ask y'all a question. So, since OSHA messaged me this morning and I guess I didn't answer fast enough and then he tagged me in a message on YouTube, right, telling everybody that I ain't show, you know, challenging me and stuff and then because within like 20 minutes, I'm here live and I'm sitting here. I'm outside. Does that mean he got scared and didn't show up? Huh? Is that what that mean? Did I Did I win the DEBATE ALREADY? I THINK I WON ALREADY.
[ __ ] Damn right.
But but uh but but but for but O'Shea but the main problem with O'Shea, he creates content that's creates negativity and creates he creates people like that Na Na dude like the Na Na dude is always one of them [ __ ] too.
And I don't know why it is. They always from either the Gambia or Ghana. I don't know what's wrong with them [ __ ] They be hating on everybody. [ __ ] Ghana. They hating Nigerians. I had a boss that was from Ghana. His name was Mr. Williams. This dude was the meanest [ __ ] This dude, he should have been fired a long time ago. Like he like he was terrible. But he used to kiss white people's ass and everybody knew it, right? And he was terrible to the Nigerians. He was extra terrible to Nigerians. It was horrible. He was terrible to the Ghanaians, too. He was an assole, right? [clears throat] And and I used to I used to give that dude the thousand yard st every time I saw him. I let that [ __ ] know I wasn't scared of him. people used to walk around and and then the dude was such a god he was such a BS nitch. He would be like a mean boss to you and he would disrespect you but he couldn't look you in the eye. He could never look you like and now he was always like doing this [ __ ] I always used to stare that [ __ ] and bam. I used to SEE HIM WALKING. HEY MR. WILLIAMS. I used to go towards him just to look him in the eye on purpose to make him feel nervous.
I made that [ __ ] feel real nervous.
That dude was one white ass kissing Ghanaian dude, right? But I know he don't represent all all Ghanaians. See, I know that. And that's the thing. See, when I talk [ __ ] about somebody, I'm talking about them. And I automatically and I say out loud that they don't represent all people from Ghana. Why?
Cuz I need that sound bite to be in there. I need I I don't want to create ammunition for my enemies. I don't create ammunition for my en enemies.
O'Shea creates a lot of ammunition.
There he is. He said, "Give him a few minutes." All right. OShea creates a lot of ammunition for our enemies for the for for for the sake of money.
Money is is more important than the mission, right? Money is more important than mission. And he creates ammunition for the enemy, right? So if you were to look up OSHA Duke Jackson, his online presence, right? Right. and you you wanted to find something, right, that was positive, you know, you could find it, but then you would find a lot of negativity, right, that he creates, right, based off how he speaks. And then he creates people like Nana, right, who is reacting.
He said, I'mma what do you say?
I'mma enter into the hot zone. All right, OSHA cuz I GOT LISTEN, I got some questions I'mma ask you and if you give me some word salad, I'mma make a 100,000 videos just like you on the same topic.
I I I just And I and I don't think Yeah.
And and I've seen O'Shea go live on plenty of people's platform and they ask him the question, he beat around the bush. I don't want him to beat around this bush. I need a definitive answer.
And it's about Tariq.
It's about Tariq. I want to know. All right? Because it don't make sense. All right?
Because if y'all look at my content, right?
When I'm when I'm in Africa and I'm talking, FBA be like, they think I'm in they think I'm Nigerian. They be like, FBA, these group, they don't even know I'm African-American.
They think I'm Nigerian. Now, think about that [ __ ] Now think about it. I'm I'm a light. Look at me. Okay. Even in America, I'm not regular. I'm not the standard, right? Obviously, I look like a damn Samoan. All right. When I'm in When I was in Cambodia, they thought I was Cambodian.
Asian people always thought I was Asian.
Latinos always think I'm some kind of Latino. I clearly got some things going on here, right?
But since I know who I am, it doesn't really truly affect me, right? But lost my train of thought thinking about that mofo. But I understand what it's like, you know, to be questioned, right? But at the same time, these people look at me and they think I'm Nigerian.
Now, think about this. Now, these people who call themselves FBA who say, "We don't look nothing like Africans."
They say, "We don't look nothing like Africans.
But when you look at me, you're 100% convinced I'm a Nigerian.
Why is that? Do I look Nigerian?
To you, FBA?
Do you know what a Nigerian looks like?
Huh? They think I'm Nigerian because they can't tell the difference.
That's the thing about it. You can't you can't tell the difference. Sometimes you can if you see like an ethnic mark or maybe uh some phenotypes look a little bit more distinctive, but you go to Florida, every one of them guys look like they just came off the boat. Every Floridaian look like they a criminal illegal alien from Africa. All right. Them [ __ ] are foundational black American as far as they're concerned, but they look like they just got off the boat. You know what I'm saying? Like what's the phenot definitive phenotypical look of an African-American?
You can't define it. Because we Africanameans are a mix of various different phenotypes of West Africa and West Africans are a mix of different phenotypes from the entire continent.
Like Nigeria, the problem is as many Africans as we got that we are exposed to on social media, you still haven't seen Africans unless you go to Africa. You you don't because only certain tribes, certain nations, certain Africans has had the ability to become successful enough to make their way to the west, right? In a very small sample. So what you see is just the ones that made it. But if you go to Africa and you see Africans, the different types of Africans, even with any any relative country, any, you'll be like everyone looks different. Everyone has all the phen every phenotype that you see African-Americans, they all got that, right? So it's the same, right?
But we are obviously, you know, you know, have different experiences, but stereotypically we all look the same.
Like O'Shea look just like he just Legos. I like he say he didn't look Nigerian. I don't know who who he kidding. He he he ain't believe that [ __ ] Ohea look like O'Shea put a a goddamn a dashiki on blend right the [ __ ] in like That dude blend right in. He blend in almost anywhere in Africa actually to be honest. Oh sh blend in pretty much anywhere in Africa to be honest. He can go anywhere. Right. Me I look like Eigbo. Most there's a lot of a Nigerian actors that should be even bigger famous. They look there's one that look just like me. Like they every time I go there they say you look like such and such and such and they're like then I turn the teeth I look just like him.
He's just a regular not like Nigerian.
And they and they not all of them bleach. A lot of them do bleach, you know, but they got regular light-skinned folks and they're part of the Igbo tribe, right? Because a lot of African-Americans have a lot of Igbo in his word. Igbo in Europe. [ __ ] we even got damn we still got Igbo in Europe freaking villages in Africa that we established. I mean in America that we established. So when people say when people say African-Americans don't know who they are, Africans Americans never forgot they were African. There's never a time. That's why I understand when people say we don't got no connection. I be like, you don't have connection to history because AfricanAmericans are deeply connected culturally and with our practices with Africa. We have not made the connection ourselves in our brain that what we are doing is West African. All our food is West African. Everything we cook is West African food. Uh, black ey peas. That's a traditional Nigerian dish and it's also a tradition other West African dish that they eat during holidays. Why do you think we eat it during holidays?
The New Year's, that's our [ __ ] That's their [ __ ] They don't they go beyond New Year. They like the new month.
The the the way we dance, that's all African. I already explained that, right? Root work, right? The way we are one with nature, the way we the way we our sayings, don't don't split poles, all that [ __ ] that's all West African stuff. Everything we do is West African.
Hell, rap. Rap, that's just a continuation of the Grio tradition.
R&B, those are just traditional African uh music uh genres modified over here, all that [ __ ] So, you know, so yeah, African-Americans invented rap, hip-hop, right? But hip-hop is a amalgamation of various different other African-American art forms, right? And those art forms like blues, jazz, rag time music and all those things are different iterations of different African musical styles that were mixed together because those different African tribes with their different African traditions when brought to Americas were forced to live with each other. So a mama and a daddy who had a family, one may have been deni, one may have been eurba. So you take that denke tradition and that eurba tradition and you pass that down to a to their child, that child is going to have a a a den y e y e y e y e y e y e y e y e y e y euroba tradition. It's going to be his own. It's going to be something hybrid, right? And if you keep on mixing that, right, and you get the aan tradition, you get the an ebo, you get a and ebo tradition, you get a denke and a yura tradition, and they both have children. And now you got this hybrid okan or denke and hybrid ebo uh u or whatever mix and they mix. Now you got something even more hybrid.
African-Americans are an amalgamation of Africa. African-Americans are pan-African incarnate. The success of African-Americans is because continental Africans who were already waring with each other for various different reasons had no choice but to unite because they were being enslaved by an even more powerful force, the white savage barbarian. So you ain't got no choice.
You can't be having historical beefs with your OP when now y'all got a even greater OP. So now I'm guess and then now y'all got to speak the same language, English, cuz that's the one they force you to speak cuz they made it illegal for you to speak yours, right?
So we have a connection with Africa.
It's just been ripped up, tore up, and and set knots, right? So we shouldn't say that. But we do have our own distinct culture and we should be respected, right, as African-Americans because we are the culture. Our African-American culture is what's driving the entire world's culture.
There's a new culture that's being manifested on the internet right now.
Asians es the ones over races. I know. I understand. All right. Let's let we understand the racism. That's a separate thing because even though they're racist, they still practice our culture.
They still sweat us. They still they do they they focus on us 247. What can we get from those African-Americans and so we can incorporate in our culture. The new future culture of the world is being seated by African-American culture.
Whether it be Africans, Caribbeans, everywhere. Everybody are learning from African-American and using our culture to create their new culture. That's what's happening. And that's okay because culture changes all the time.
So, you know, that's fine. But hold on, let me see. Let me get out here. Okay, these are the questions I'm going to ask O'Shea when he get on here, right? Cuz we're not accepting word salad.
Okay, we're not we're not accepting word salad. I want to know why you support Tariq Nishe.
If you're a Panaffrican, I want to know why you can judge, criticize, and critique other YouTubers, but you don't critique Tariq Nasheed for doing exactly the same thing.
I want to know I want to know why you're a champion for Tariq Nasheed. What did Treat Nasheed offer you for you to back him?
Because Treat Nasheed is clearly a xenophobic, hateful agent of white supremacy. Clearly, there's no argument.
Out his own mouth. I've proven he literally just co-signed Donald Trump blocking reparations for black people.
You can hear him say out his mouth that he supports Donald Trump blocking reparations for black people. And his excuse is, "Oh, that's [ __ ] Oh, that ain't reparations."
So, if that's not reparations, Tariq, what do you consider reparations?
And what legislation have you drafted up, Tariq, to present to your congressman to push for reparations?
What actions is Tariq using doing to seek reparations? Since that seems to be the whole point of FBA to delineate from black people so that white people can say these the [ __ ] that we supposed to give uh reparations to and not these [ __ ] Cuz that was supposed to be the whole point, right? to say, "Hey, those black people, they don't get reparations because they're not foundational black America Americans." That was the point, right? But here's the thing.
Here's the thing.
The same people who enslaved us in the North in North America are the same people who enslaved the Jamaicans and the Grenadians and the Trinidadians.
And they're the same people who colonized West Africa.
You know how I know that?
Cuz we're all speaking English. Huh? So if we speaking English, that's the English.
And the ones that speak French, that's the French. And the ones that speak Spanish, oh, that's the Spanish. All white people.
And last time I checked, slavery started before America. And it started with those countries and the corporations that those countries um uh backed or owned or financed.
So all of us Caribbeans, African-Americans, Afro Latinos are owed reparations by the same white people.
It's the same fight, right? Cuz the enemy is the same. The person who owe us is the same. But as an intelligent African-American, I know white people are not going to give us reparations because it's amount to suicide. They don't have the cash. They don't have the money. Do you know what reparations was spent on? I mean, do you know what the the money from the transatlantic slave trade was spent on? That's the thing about it. If you knew what the money was spent on, you'd be like, "Yeah, you definitely getting that [ __ ] back." The money was spent on wars.
The transatlantic slaves trade generated revenue so that European powers could further conquer other European nations.
The whole time we were being enslaved from the 1500s to the present day, that entire time Europeans have been at war with the Ottoman Empire, with the Turks, with various other European empires, with Prussia. It's been a mass 400 years of European genocide financed by rich white people enslaving Africans. It also financed the world conquering around the world. The transatlantic slave trade financed Europe's destruction of the planet, including Europe. All of it.
Now, how you think they going to pay us back? You think white people, right, are going to give us a tent amount of trillion? You think white people will give African-Americans, a group of people that already commands two plus trillion dollars in America despite white supremacy? You think they're going to hand us over two 23 something plus more trillion dollars to a concentrated and ready warrior group of Africans. You would have to be out of your complete and total [ __ ] mind to think that they would ever do. You might as well tell them to take a gun and shoot themselves. That's what you're telling them. You're telling them to blow their brains out right now. That's what you're telling them to do. They're not going to do it. Even if they know they should do it, they're not going to do it. Look what white people just did this just recently. They was like, "Yeah, uh yeah, we're going to vote that white supremacist in who's not qualified over Kamla.
It'll work out." That's the decision they made after the first time. Listen, white people died by the hundreds of thousands when Trump was in office the first time because Trump refused to close the borders, refused to allow capitalism to stop making money, right? And and hundreds of thousands of white people died.
Millions I think it was I think mill I think we had millions of white people died, right?
And that was still not enough.
We can't fight that [ __ ] You can forget reparations. So the fight for reparations is is a lost cause. What we need to do is get revenge.
Yeah. We don't need white people to cut us a check. We need to take that [ __ ] and cut our own check. That's the type of That's the kind of energy we own.
Take that [ __ ] So FBA crying and whining about FBI them [ __ ] ain't giving you [ __ ] And here's the thing.
Here's the other trick. Let's say let's say cuz cuz I'm a strategist. Let's say you were since you're a lineage based, you want to talk about lineage. You want to talk about lineage cuz when you do that, you open up another door you ain't ready for and you ain't going to be able to close it. You see, when you talk about lineage and you say, "Oh, my my such and such was was a trans slave trade and he was a slave here." Well, guess what?
So, African-Americans have 13 to 20% of European DNA because of history. So, technically, I could talk [ __ ] about white people all I want because, you know, I got something in me. So, it's not racist, right? You see how that logic I can talk about Europe. Why? I got European ancestors. It's not racist. How? Just because you don't, you know, acknowledge my Europeanism doesn't mean my DNA don't got it. I I got the I got the key right here. I got a pass. Right. So, if there is 20% if if black people got 20 to 13% of European and of European DNA, what the hell do you think that means for European Americans?
So, what do you think they got in their [ __ ] 20 to 20 to 30%. 20 13 to to 20% African DNA. And when you say lineage, guess what they going to say when that check come? They going to be like the white man going to be like this.
My ancestors was enslaved.
Yeah. All the white people going to be like, "No, I did my DNA. My great great grandmama was enslaved." And they got the history, too. They'll show you the They going, "Oh, it's going to be a hell of an industry. They will show you their great-grandmother was enslaved." And they going to get real righteous about it, too. And this be their opportunity and and go ahead and question their blackness. Then go ahead and question that that 13 that 20%. Go ahead and question it because the constitution if they ever would to do it, they would make sure that that distributed wealth would go with the 80% of white Europeans that got that 13 to 20% black African DNA because it's fair, right? Because we basing it off lineage, huh? So FBA much rather have their white compatriots who got 13 to eight 13 to to to 20% black DNA because they great great granddaddy got to have their way for 100 years. Them white men got to have their way for hundreds of years with no accountability without women and they can get rewarded for it. Imagine that [ __ ] because FBA don't want a Jamaican or or a Haitian to get some of it. Even though that Jamaican and that Haitian who speak English was also enslaved by that very same European that he don't mind getting some of that reparations, huh? And how you going to say Haitians didn't contribute to America? Have you ever heard of Chicago? You ever wonder why white people always focus on Chicago? You ever wonder why the only state white people know is Chicago?
You ever wonder that Haitians are integral part of the African-American experience? They are our they are our brothers and sisters and they are our motivators.
They are the first black republic. They are the ones who demonstrate to the world that when black people put our minds to it and we tap into our African power, we can defeat even Napoleon's army, the greatest army in the history of mankind at the time. a bunch of Africans using their African spirituality to motivate themselves to beat the [ __ ] out of a superior force, embarrassing them. Why you think Haiti is still being being discriminated against to this day? They ain't never forgot that [ __ ] Why you think Chicago all goes together?
It all goes together. Those Haitians inspired us to revolt and rebel. Why do you think they don't teach you about the hundreds of revolts that Africans Africans started in America? They don't want you to know that [ __ ] They don't want you to know that the Haitians came to the Americas and helped start our revolutions here. They don't want you to know that. Why would they want you to know that? So you can kumbaya with Haitians and figure out how they do it and then redo it. Nah, they don't want that. Right? So all this diaspora wars is to slow down the the inevitable. We are finding out about what we each we all did, right? We're all finding out together and we're building pride. Our pride level is getting higher and higher. Black people, African people, Caribbean people, our pride level is rising. Yeah, we got a lot of work to do because a lot of us are suffering from the PTSD of the propaganda of the white man because we only argue over what they told us.
That's the only [ __ ] we argue about what they told us. That's why it's stupid.
That's why I don't like wasting my time.
Like right now, right? I've been alive for how long? O say he be here. I'm about ready to go back in the house.
Right. I'm about ready to go back in the house, right? Because I ain't going to be doing this all day. It's Saturday.
All right, we're going to have to do it another day because I really don't care about doing this to make money, right? I just came I just stepped outside because I got called out. I literally stepped outside cuz I got called out twice in public without even getting an opportunity to respond. Apparently, I ain't move fast enough. So, far as I'm concerned, OSHA called me out and got scared when I stepped outside.
Cuz what I'm not going to do, and I don't do this with anybody. I swear to God, I talk like this in real life. If you ever anybody ever get to meet anybody that meet me, you'll know I talk like this to your face in real life. And I wouldn't give a [ __ ] if you was 6'4, 500 lb. Cuz I'm just going to figure out how to put your big ass down if you try to step out there. And if you whoop my ass, you just do it. But guess what? It ain't going to be easy. I'm not invincible, but neither are you, you know?
So, but I'mma keep the same energy.
I want to know why O'Shea is like like, okay, it's like he's calling people pan-African that are not Panaffrican.
And even if the reasoning for saying they're not Panaffrican is is saying they're not practicing Panaffricanism, right, or they're using pan-Africanism as a griff, like I agree, there are people who do that like Umar Johnson Like people think that he's like the prince of panafricanism because he calls himself the prince of panafricanism. But Umar Johnson is a roving preacher who uses panafricanism as his grift. You got people who do it in a secular way, right? Motivational speakers, right? People who know how to articulate themselves in an entertaining, motivating way. People do it secularly, those are called motivational speakers. People do it using religion. Those are called preachers and pastors. All right? And then you got the hotteers who will put some history together, some anecdotals, and they would do it with that, right?
You got the Nwabians, and you always get a charismatic leader that know how to use something. You got Muslims who do it. And keep in mind, I am a I am a I'm trained in counterterrorism, okay? And that's what you get when I'm I'm not a you I'm not a guy running my mouth just spout my opinion based off how I feel about [ __ ] I'm a professionally trained counterterrorism expert.
I used to work with the I've been on patrol with the Taliban to go find other Taliban to kill.
I I've I've went to other countries and train militia forces to fight their government.
I know how this [ __ ] works. I know how propaganda works. I know how unintelligence is dangerous because you have to find unintelligent people, right, in order to fill their head with the propaganda to get them to go out and do something. I've stood, listen, I've been face to face with al-Qaeda who wanted to kill me and couldn't kill me and looked at me in my face and had the opportunity would have blew my freaking head off.
How many How many of yo YouTubers sitting here trying to try to talk heavy [ __ ] been in some [ __ ] like that.
How many how many how many YouTubers right when it come to some heavy [ __ ] when it come to like like cuz people call me coward and I'll be like [ __ ] shut the [ __ ] up. You don't know who you talking to. Like have you ever seen somebody try to kill you and then kill themselves? You ever seen somebody blow up? You ever seen a body turn into pink mask? Have you ever heard the whistle of of of 7.2 two, six rounds going through somebody's body or 100 rounds eating through somebody's body. Have you ever stood over a body for 48 hours and watched it blow up while waiting for their friends to come so you can kill them, too? You ever done that? I have.
I've done all that [ __ ] Huh? Have you ever known a platoon full of people that's dead? Somebody you was talking to the other day and then you come to find out they dead. They just got their head blown off or they just got blown up. How often does that happen to you? Now, we got people in the hood who got, you know, I seen somebody get killed and stuff like that. And I'm from the hood, too. So, keep in mind, all this is off the top of me being from Washington DC on the border of Maryland DC, growing up in the 80s and the 90s in DC. 80s and the 90s in DC when [ __ ] was bad. [ __ ] was bad. And then I go in the military and I get all this [ __ ] Huh?
Have you ever almost stepped on them? I almost stepped once. I was walking at night doing a patrol and I almost stepped on a landmine and blew me and my my bestie buddies up dead.
This is much this much. This distance right here between this this little distance that you see right here was the difference between Afro think tank and a memory.
Like I've seen some [ __ ] guys. Like you I seen that's why I'm always smiling.
You're like damn I'm always joking smiling because y'all don't understand how serious [ __ ] can be. My veterans do.
That's why like y'all that's why I love cuz we live a different life. We've been in [ __ ] to where, you know, you got an opponent who know you coming. It's different. Like these dude, thugs, they they [ __ ] because they go shoot people who don't know they coming. Try let try going going to war when they know you coming. Try try try going to war with seasoned fighters who've been fighting for 35 years in the desert.
They don't know nothing but killing. And they know you coming. They know where you going to be, when you going to be there, and they sit there waiting for you. And you still go there anyway with you and a few of your boys. I'm 19 years old in the middle of Afghanistan with 12 others and the oldest person is 23.
That's who out there fighting guys. 23 year olds child and they in charge of everybody. I was in charge of four Taliban fighters myself. Four me. And I ain't trust none of them. I thought as soon as I thought as soon as I let my guard down they was going to blow my head off. But just so happens they didn't like the other Taliban.
You know, like dog. So when I'm when I'm with with you guys, I'm like, "Nah, y'all know." Oh, you ready? Oh, shade.
DJ Jack, you say you ready? All right. I was running my mouth. You see you see what I'm saying? You know what I'm saying? How I can go? All right. So, how do I do this?
How do I can I invite you? Like, do I have to like leave out or like what? How do I do this?
You're on the other T. Do you regret doing their dirty work for the imperialism? Uh, no. Cuz I ain't never have to kill no black. I'm be honest.
The people I was fighting with, same people that enslaved Africans first for the 4,500 years. So, I'm good with it.
The other link is bad. Okay. All right.
So, all right. All right, guys. This what I'mma do. I'mma stop this one and I'mma turn around and I'mma invite O'Shea and start another live. Okay.
That's what we're going to do.
That's what we're going to do. All right. I'mma stop this live and we're going to start another one with O'Shea.
Okay. So, everybody stand by for the next one. O'Shea, I'mma send it to you on the WhatsApp. All right. That's what I'm going to do. Any of you joining, we can jump on.
