Ajouté : 2026-05-16

[00:00:02][singing and music] No, no, no, no, no, no. Like, like wh why? [snorts] For what?

[00:00:17]From who?

[00:00:19]Take them where?

[00:00:22]The dots aren't connecting like that.

[00:00:26]That now don't hit me, don't get me wrong. You can sing it. It sounds great, but the context is not.

[00:00:34]It don't work. Am I Am I missing something? It don't It ain't Why?

[00:00:41]You got a list. You could have went Why?

[00:00:43]Why? Why that one? Like, I don't get it.

[00:00:47]I don't I don't understand. Like, like she did such a good job with that song.

[00:00:53]and and and for the right reason. And and we while we >> I mean, imagine you go all around the world and smash up everything uh that other civilizations built, loot what they built, pillage, steal, [music] even steal their ideas and their concepts and their philosophies, and then you sit on top of this mountain of stolen goods and declare yourself to be rich because of your own merit. You will always hear black Americans like to say when we white people rent to rivers alone and each and everything connect to us. Imagine you are coming across certain video white people trying to use black people's song try to rebrand each and everything. This is what people always saying. This proves that this white people they can't survive without black people. Each and everything it's all about black people's invasion. They steal each and everything from black people here and there. They can't survive. They check on black people.

[00:01:50]What are they doing? Why these people they like this? At the same time, these are the same people who come out to mock black people that they don't have culture. They keep disrespect them in each and everywhere. Now see a lot of people came out to talk about this.

[00:02:04]Let's dive into this episode then we'll come back for more commentaries. So, I saw this video on my sister's North account and uh what [laughter] [singing] [music] >> take my people with me together.

[00:02:22][singing] We are going to [music] a brand new home.

[00:02:28][singing] [music] >> [music and singing] [laughter] >> What is going on?

[00:02:45]While I was watching the video, this is the only thing that popped up into my head.

[00:02:48]>> Went to a white high school with a bunch of white girls at the talent show my senior year. I was like, "What the [ __ ] is this [ __ ] I get so weak every hardly speak I lose all [laughter] control by myself. I just can't knock me right off of MY [ __ ] [laughter] It was so bad just WHAT YOU DID.

[00:03:26]CLAPPING that [ __ ] [laughter] >> Exactly. It doesn't make like my brain [laughter] couldn't understand. There are certain songs y'all just can't sing because you don't understand. You don't have the same feelings. So, it comes off jovial [music] like it comes off clownish when y'all do that. [laughter] Leave some songs alone.

[00:03:48]Y'all are just going to have to resolve the fact that there are just some things that are not for you. Just like there's some things that are not for us. Like potato salad with raisins. It's not for us. You know what I mean? That's all you. [laughter] But that was wild. Stop it.

[00:04:05][music] [singing] [music] You know I got a [singing] mind [music] of mine and I don't mind [music and singing] if I lose any blood on the way to salvation.

[00:04:29]But I fight for [music and singing] the strength that I got until I die.

[00:04:36][music and singing] Take my people together. We are going to [singing and music] river.

[00:04:52][music and singing] [singing] [music] Heat. Heat.

[00:05:15][music] [singing] Oh, so I'm going to stand up. Take my people with [singing and music] me. Together we are going to a brand new [singing] home.

[00:05:32]Far across the river. [music] Can you hear freedom calling [singing] me to answer going to keep [music] on keeping on?

[00:05:44]So I'm going to stand up. Take my [singing] people with me. Together we are going.

[00:05:53][sighs] Perpetum Jazzile. Is this you?

[00:06:01]Is this you? Excuse me. But um what in the unseasoned chicken, raisins in the potato salad, white girl running in a horror movie and always falling, blue wristband wearing [ __ ] is this.

[00:06:21]What is this? It is always liberal white people who miss the mark so much in racial sensitivity.

[00:06:32]What? What? What is this? I I need help to understand something. You all really thought it was a flex or a statement to take the theme song from Harriet that Cynthia Arivo sings. Harriet, the story of Harriet Tudman.

[00:06:53]the song embodying who she was and what she was doing in going into the deep south doing slavery and helping to liberate black people along the Underground Railroad. The whole meaning of the song is about that issue. Stand up. I'm going to stand up and take my people with me.

[00:07:21]Together we are going to a brand new home. Far across the river. Do you hear freedom calling? Calling me to answer.

[00:07:32]Going to keep on keeping on. I'm going to stand up and take my people with me.

[00:07:39]Together we are going to a brand new goddamn home. Far across the river. I hear freedom calling.

[00:07:48]that that's what you all thought was a good idea to perform this song without one black person anywhere in sight because and we're just going to overlook the rhythm issues you all are having with the song. But that's not bad enough because when people told you that this might be racially insensitive to the story of Harriet Tudman and the liberation of black people during the Civil War and slavery. You responded with this and just made it worse. you said. Thank you to everyone who pointed out the historical and social context of this song.

[00:08:42]Could have stopped right there, but no, you kept going. We are aware that standup carries a very powerful message rooted in the experience of the black community in the United States. And we approached that with respect.

[00:09:01]The respect would have been not approaching it. Our intention because the road to hell is paved with good intention was not to speak on behalf of anyone or to appropriate an experience that is not ours. [gasps] And you all know what you say. Anytime you make a statement and you follow that statement up with but, everything before the but was just performative.

[00:09:34]And that's my nice way of saying a lie.

[00:09:38]But rather to express through music our admiration for courage, dignity, and the struggles against injustice. We believe that music can bring us together while also teaching us to listen, to understand, and to remain humble towards the stories it carries. So in spite of all that historical narrative and social context, you proceeded to center yourself. Let me translate that for you.

[00:10:12]All this is about centering yourself and why you chose to do this. In spite of this historical and social context and the significance that it carried, in spite of all that, this is what you chose to do because that's what being liberal and white is about. You still are in your privilege and you still see things through that lens and you still center yourself. There is no other explanation for seeing these words and knowing the context in which those words come from and you still elected to do this.

[00:11:08]How [ __ ] dare you? How [ __ ] dare you? Where your people standing up for?

[00:11:15]Standing up for what? You going to take what people with you together? Y'all going where?

[00:11:22]Far across the river.

[00:11:25]Freedom. Who? Who? What? Who holding y'all? See, I'm going to show you the difference. I'm going to show you the difference. why this had no business coming out your face. I'm going to show y'all exactly why this had no business coming out your face. See this cultural appropriation, you don't even know where the [ __ ] line is. Y'all don't even know where the [ __ ] line is. You just step all over it. You step all over it.

[00:11:52]That's how come y'all the way y'all are.

[00:11:53]Y'all do not understand culture and different people come from different places. You think everything belong to you. The song go like this.

[00:12:02]So I'm going stand up, take my people with me. See, you ain't got that. You understand? So when you do this vanilla unflavored white bread ass [ __ ] to a song that means so much to us. You I just I don't get it. Y'all need a [ __ ] I don't know what the [ __ ] it is you need, but you need to move the [ __ ] on and leave black people and black [ __ ] alone cuz you just ruin it.

[00:12:35]>> So, [singing] [music] take my people together [music] [singing] across the river. When you hear [music and singing] freedom call, calling me to answer. Going to keep [music] on keeping on.

[00:12:59]So I'm going to stand up, take my [singing] people with me. Together we are going to [singing and music] far across the river. Can you hear [singing] calling [music] me?

[00:13:21]>> Stand up. Take [singing] my people with me. Together we are going [music] to a brand new home.

[00:13:34][music] [singing] calling me to [singing] keep [music] on.

[00:13:44]I can >> feel [singing] [music] sharp.

[00:14:08][music] [singing] >> [singing] >> Black people have a different happy birthday song than white people. I'm going to count us in if you know it. Sing along. All right, here we go. Five, six, seven, eight. Happy birthday to you.

[00:14:35]>> Happy Oh my god. Right here. Right here.

[00:14:38]Right here. HAPPY.

[00:14:41]LISTEN TO THAT [ __ ] DUDE. ARE YOU KIDDING ME, DUDE? BLACK HAPPY BIRTHDAY is so good. I listen to it in my car alone. That is how hard that song goes.

[00:14:51]They know how to spice it up.

[00:14:54]Do you know how white people spice up Happy Birthday? We say cha cha cha.

[00:15:01]>> We have to talk about something. I am not happy about something at all. But before we talk about it, I need you to watch this video clip. Now, I'm going to warn you that if you're like me, you are going to have a visceral emotional response, but we are going to talk about it. So, I need you if you can stick with me on the other side of this video, okay? Please and thank you.

[00:15:36][music] Stand up. Take my [singing] people with me. [music] Together we are going to a brand new [singing] far [music] across the river. Can you hear calling me? [music] >> Okay, one more thing. I need you to read this comment before my commentary.

[00:16:04]Please pause to read.

[00:16:10]Okay, now [clears throat] that you've seen what has me incredibly upset, I want to make two key points.

[00:16:22]Now, I'm talking to this group of singers specifically.

[00:16:29]Let me address you.

[00:16:31]You make two points in your comment that struck the wrong chord.

[00:16:39]You said that you understand the cultural significance of that song and you said that you believe that music brings people together. Now I do agree with you that music has the power to bring people together.

[00:17:00]But what I think you failed to recognize is that your delivery of that song had the exact opposite effect of bringing us together.

[00:17:15]And the reason why is because your delivery usurped our collective respect.

[00:17:28]homage, dare I say, reverence that that song has for our cultural identity, the struggles we have overcome and that we still fight to overcome today, [sighs and gasps] the reverence that we have for Harriet Dutman specifically, it was incredible. incredibly disrespectful.

[00:17:59]Incredibly disrespectful.

[00:18:02]And the fact that an entire culture communicated to you that we were not okay with that video and instead [clears throat] of taking it down, you chose to share that comment. lets us know that you don't care [clears throat] about how we feel, which bolds underscores your lack of cultural sensitivity, your lack of cultural awareness, your lack of respect for us, our history, our present, and our future.

[00:18:42]The right thing to do is to take that video down.

[00:18:47]And I don't think you're going to do it because you haven't already.

[00:18:52]And what I'm saying to you is probably not going to change your mind. But here's the part that I'm okay with. It's my right, my privilege, and my honor to [clears throat] speak truth to power.

[00:19:10]You're going to do what you're going to do, but you need to know that we do not condone that. We do not.

[00:19:19]And another thing, tell me you don't have any black friends in your inner circle without telling me you don't have any black friends in your inner circle.

[00:19:28]Cuz if you had and you would have run this past them and let them see it, they would have said, "Don't you dare." If you would have went to them and told them, "Hey, I'm getting flack for that video." and they saw it, they would said, "Take it down."

[00:19:42]Unless you got some that we don't claim.

[00:19:44]Those don't count.

[00:19:46]>> Y'all, we have to talk about something. I [clears throat] >> Ooh. Okay. Hear me out. Hear me out. I understand what y'all were going for because music can unify and bring people together, right? Let's not argue that music is a wild cornucopia of all different kinds of styles, genres, everything. I get that.

[00:20:14]And y'all sound good, but not this song.

[00:20:21]Ju just not this one. Pick pick something else and and we can collaborate. [clears throat] This This one wasn't a good selection.

[00:20:32]Whoever picked this one, they wasn't thinking. I'm not trying to be mean.

[00:20:35]That just sound good. Just not good intentions. Wrong song. We are the world would have been better. That's That's a good one.

[00:20:45]>> Imagine being a rapper in the 1990s.

[00:20:47]You're at the top of the charts. Your music is everywhere. You have millions of fans. And then one day, you turn on the TV and there's a black grandmother from Philadelphia on the national news saying your music is degrading women and poisoning the culture. calling out your record label, calling out the industry, calling out you. That woman was Cynthia Dolores Tucker, and she did not care how famous you were. By the 1990s, artists like Tupac, Snoop Dog, Dr. Dre, they were dominating the charts. Their music was everywhere. But some of the lyrics were sparking serious debates about misogyny and violence. And Miss Cynthia stepped directly into that fight. She organized protests. She confronted record labels, especially Time Warner, which distributed some of the music she was criticizing. Then she went on TV and said some of it was degrading black women and harming the community. Now imagine being Tupac, young, famous, one of the biggest artists in this country, and suddenly you're being publicly challenged by a woman who had been fighting political battles since before you were born. It became one of the largest cultural arguments of the decade. But Cynthia Tucker did not just appear in the 1990s. She had been challenging powerful people her entire life. Cynthia Dolores Tucker was born in 1927 in Philadelphia. She grew up in a country where segregation shaped everything, jobs, housing, schools. Most people learned how to navigate that system quietly, but she didn't. As a teenager, she joined the NAACP Youth Council. And she wasn't just attending meetings. She was organizing protests, boycots, pickets against businesses that refused to hire black workers. She decided very early on that she wasn't going to spend her life politely asking for things that should already belong to her community. By the 1960s, she was deeply involved in civil rights activism in Philadelphia. She pressured city leaders. She organized against segregated construction unions. She confronted institutions that preferred to pretend that discrimination didn't exist. Then in 1971, something remarkable happened. Cynthia Dolores Tucker became the first black person and the first woman to serve as Pennsylvania Secretary of the Commonwealth, appointed by Governor Milton Shop, appointed by Governor Milton Chap. A woman who had spent years protesting outside the system was suddenly running a part of it. The office oversees elections in major state functions. That's real power. And she used it to push for more representation for women and for black professionals in government. But one thing about Cynthia Tucker never changed. She never learned how to be quiet in rooms full of powerful people.

[00:23:15]Cynthia Dolores Tucker passed in 2005.

[00:23:19]And some people still debate parts of her legacy. But when you look at her life, one thing becomes very clear. She spent decades challenging people with power. Politicians, corporations, artists, whoever she believed needed to be challenged. Sometimes people agreed with her and sometimes they didn't. But she never seemed particularly interested in being liked. You know, she was interested in saying what she thought needed to be said. And whether people loved her or hated her, they listened.

[00:23:47]Say her name. Cynthia Dolores Tucker.

[00:23:51]You can literally, okay, this is white people in Australia, white people in Asia, white people in Africa, white people in South America, white people in North America, and here's the kicker, white people in Europe.

[00:24:08]You seeing the pattern, right? Um, I think there's a saying, if something repeats more than three times, it's not a pattern, it's a behavior.

[00:24:19]It's not a pattern anymore. It's a [ __ ] behavior.

[00:24:24]What makes it worse is is not because they did it because plenty of people have done that. Plenty of other groups of people have done that. It's cuz they sit there and then try to pass off this image and this like construct of them being this like perfect being and then everybody else is a piece of [ __ ] Like, bro, I can read like I'm being gas lit in real time, bro. This is what it feels like to be gas lit in real time. I'm being gas lit in real time.

[00:24:54]>> When you try to see in nowadays the way these things of rebranding each and everything to black people is taking another level. This is something people need to rise up and talk about it. You can't tell her how we keep seeing things like this each and every time keep repeating itself and no one talk about it. A lot of black people whenever they see white people using their inventions their things they see as it is something normal you make it fun of it but it's really bad. Now see whenever you go each and everything you do these people they will be always in your space checking on you. How come you are come out to take a song like this? You know the meaning of the song is a gospel song is trying to say that there will be a day we'll go back to our home in the heaven we we will be together we we will be united these people who are singing this black [clears throat] people's song they sing like like it's something they they happy about these are the people at the same time who can't come out and stand up for racism in America or or each and everything that people are always passed through or all the struggle they can't talk about it they can't call out their people to stop each and everything at the same time they are using the same song do you even really know the meaning of this song each and every time we came across video like this you could always feel the way black people always feel since in those back days you used to come out and steal each and everything scatter each and everything belongs to black people you were still come out at the same time keep showing that you can't leave black people alone. We used to say that colonizers store each and everything from Africa everywhere they used to go they used to steal to storm and at the same time come out to claim each and everything as their own. We thought that it was in those back days but in our days we are keep seeing the same behavior. People are not really ready to change. If you are a white person, you really like black people's invasions. At least try to approach them. Try to to be one of them. Try to be someone who could stand for black people's struggle and try to correct some mistakes. Don't come out each and every time you use black people's invasions as if it's something normal. At the same time, you are just there mocking on them. We've been hearing everywhere. A lot of videos are everywhere. We see white people always they are just there waiting to see each and everything they going to rebrand from black people's invasions. Each and everything is connect to black people.

[00:27:39]You can't sit down and list. You can't just be your own. You are white people.

[00:27:44]You you have where you came from. You have your own culture. Why can't you use your own culture? Why each and everything should always be on black people? Is it like they are cheap labor you were just used to use in those back days in each and everything and no one will come out to question you? Is it like black people don't have any say? Is it like black people's mean nothing to you? People need to know that in this new era people are waking up. You need to know that use what belongs to you.

[00:28:13]Use what you know that is part of your culture. Even this song you are singing doesn't connect in any way. Look the way you are singing. see the original of the song. It doesn't connect in any way. And you are forced it. You are forced. Last time we did a video, the way in Europe there were a festival of white people, African festival. It's quite funny the way people got disappointed. See white people in Netherland came out in African c trying to sing and dance in African way when the original of those song are in Africa suffering. This is something people need to stop. People need to rise up because these things the way is taking another level each and every day.

[00:28:56]If you don't come out to talk about it, I don't know how it's going to end. You are come out online on Tik Tok. You are you are publishing something you you created. The moment you are still loing some some people to to help you to found you to finalize each and everything, you immediately see white people using your product. You immediately see them rebrand each and every connect to you.

[00:29:21]Whenever you try to confront them, they say no, you can't do anything. This is mine. And yet they know they stole each and everything from you. Black people, you need to be very careful. You need to know how you you you are going to be keeping your things. You need to know that how that in your space wherever you go, each and everything you do, there is always someone checking on you, try to look away to steal from you. You need to be very careful because things are getting out of hands. If people are reaching in churches trying to rebrand churches songs, it looks like things are getting worse.

[00:29:56]Guys, let me know what you think about this video. After I came across this particular video and see the way a lot of people are got supply to see the way each and every time is all about black people and no one talk about it. This is the high time you share this video, you talk a lot about this. Tell your colleagues, tell your mate that try to know how to protect your things. Try try to know how you are going to be protecting black invasions because if you you you keep being ignorant, you are going to left with nothing. They are going to end up saying that completely you don't have any culture. The moment you you start to look away to show the proof, you finally found that each and everything is already gone in their hands. This is what we we are going to be seeing. Guys, thank you for watching.

[00:30:44]See you in my next episode.
