Professor Give A Chilling Advice To America To RESPECT Black People For Their EFFORT To SAVE America

Added: 2026-05-11

[00:00:00]This is what I'm telling you.

[00:00:00]Self-sufficiency. That's what you need to be working on. That's what your values and your principles should make you fight for. That's what your principles and values should make you struggle for. Do you understand me? Your grandmother crossed the Edund Pettis Bridge or tried to cross the Edmond Pettis Bridge trying to make her way into the system. But now in 2026, you need to cross that bridge to get yourself out of the system. Now, obviously, this is something that I have talked about many, many times before, specifically in relation to the African African-American community. You have to get out of the system. You have to construct your own system, your own parallel power structures, your own parallel community structures, and so forth. Build self-sufficiency. But I know what you'll say. Of course, I know what you'll say. Obviously, no one who is even uh slightly familiar with American history wouldn't know what your reflex response to that kind of advice would be, especially if you're familiar with African-American history. You'll say that you've tried that before, right? You'll say you've tried it before. You say, "We built uh Black Wall Street before and they burned it down."

[00:01:04]Right? You'll say, "Uh, we had Marcus Garvey and they imprisoned him and they broke the UNIA." You'll say that, "Well, we had the Black Panthers and what happened to them? They got shot. They shot them in their beds. Fred Hampton, 21 years old, murdered by the uh Chicago Police Department in coordination with the FBI in 1969. That's what you'll say, and rightly so. You'll tell me that you had move uh in Philadelphia and the Philadelphia Police Department literally dropped a bomb on an American city in 1985, 1985, and burned down 61 homes and killed 11 people, including five little children. And most Americans can't even tell you that that happened. They're not even aware that that happened. The truth of the matter is that every time black America has tried to build something of its own, something outside the system, well, the system has come for it. That's the historical record. So the reflex is is completely understandable. It's an entirely understandable reflex to look at that record, that historical record, and then to conclude from that historical record, that trying to build anything is futile. That autonomy is impossible. That the only rational option available to African-Americans is to remain inside the system that contains you. Because at least there you know the rules of your containment. You can have some relative tranquility and peace within that captivity. But look at what they've done with those stories.

[00:02:28]Look at what they've done with those stories. Look at what they've done with that history. The way that you have been taught to remember Black Wall Street, Greenwood, uh Wilmington, Rosewood, uh like I say, the UNIA, the Black Panthers move. The way that those stories have been delivered to you, uh is the oppressor's version of those stories. Do you understand me? The oppressor's version emphasizes the burning, emphasizes the bombing, emphasizes the killing, emphasizes the destruction. And even the movies that they make about those stories do the same thing. They make the destruction the moral of the story. Their version turns every black autonomous project of the last 150 years into a cautionary tale. Turn it into a warning, a lesson in futility.

[00:03:16]Don't try this because look at what happened to them when they tried it.

[00:03:19]That's the lesson that they're trying to teach you with those stories. That's all that you're supposed to remember about Fred Hampton. And that's all you're supposed to remember about the Black Panthers and Move and Rosewood and Black Wall Street and so on and so on and so on. The only thing that you're supposed to remember about those experiences and those achievements is that they got destroyed. That's the lesson that they want you to take away from those truly remarkable achievements. Subhan Allah.

[00:03:41]They don't want you to think about what you did. They want you to only remember what they did to you. You understand me?

[00:03:48]But that's not what those stories are.

[00:03:49]Those stories are the opposite of what they're what what how they try to turn those stories into what they try to turn those stories into. Those are not stories or those are not histories of defeat. That's a history of accomplishment.

[00:04:01]Greenwood was a demonstration in 1921.

[00:04:04]If you don't know Black Wall Street, just 56 years, just 56 years after the abolition of child slavery with no inherited capital, no political power, no international support, and operating completely uh inside of a very hostile host. so-called civilization at the peak of its flagrant racist hubris. Subhan Allah, black Americans built a fully functional, fully autonomous economic district in Tulsa, Oklahoma. That's astonishing. Banks, hotels, theaters, uh, doctor's offices, law firms, newspapers, schools, a community where the dollar, the dollar circulated in that community at least 36 times before leaving that community. generational wealth was being assembled in real time in one generation from nothing. That's what Greenwood was. That's what uh Black Wall Street was. The headline of Greenwood, the headline of Black Wall Street should not be the burning. The headline of Greenwood should be the building. You understand me? The white power structure burned it down because they couldn't tolerate it. Why? Because it was working. You understand me? The burning is the proof that what your great-grandparents had built was working, was successful, and that the white power structure couldn't do anything about it but attack it, but tear it down. But that's their failure, not your failure. In that story, there's nothing but success from the African-American side. And before Greenwood, there was Wilmington in uh 1898. black Americans just 30 33 years after emancipation. They built a functional local government in Wilmington, North Carolina. They had elected officials. They had uh blackowned newspaper. They had a a a truly uh thriving merchant class and even a coalition with poor whites. They even made a coalition with poor whites.

[00:05:57]And they were producing real political power. They built that from nothing in one generation.

[00:06:03]The white coup that destroyed it was not a reputation of what was built. You understand me? It was a confession by the white power structure that what was built was unbearable to their order because it threatened it. Understand me?

[00:06:16]Every time the power structure lashes out, every time they lash out, it it it is a recognition that you succeeded in what you built. But they only want you to remember their destruction, not your construction. You understand me? You succeeded again and again. You accomplished again and again. You built again and again. Just because they know how to tear down, that never meant that you don't know how to build. That you don't know how to build up. Just cuz they can tear down doesn't mean that you don't know how to build up. They only tear down because you can build up successfully. You understand me? There's no question about uh we can't do it. No, you have done it. You've done it repeatedly over and over time and again.

[00:06:58]There is no question whatsoever that you can. They didn't attack you because you can't do it. They attacked you because you could do it and because you did do it. So there's no question about whether or not you can do it. You understand me?

[00:07:11]Please be clear about this. There is no history of failure here. There is only exclusively a history of achievement.

[00:07:18]That's the truth. What the white racist power structure did against you does not in any way whatsoever diminish the achievements.

[00:07:28]In fact, what they did is evidence itself of how powerful those achievements truly were. The Marcus Garvey movement, the Garvey movement, you're talking about six million members across 40 countries by the late 1920s.

[00:07:41]That's the largest organized black international association in human history. Built in less than a decade, Subhan Allah.

[00:07:50]without computers, without mobile phones, without internet, without any sort of you know modern transportation, without any technological tools that your generation considers to be minimum requirements of organizing. 6 million members, 40 countries, steam-shaped lines, newspapers, businesses, educational institutions, international conferences. A man who was born in colonial Jamaica organized all of that.

[00:08:20]Okay. The empire imprisoned him and deported him because the empire could not tolerate what he was successfully building and what the community was successfully building. His imprisonment is not the story. The building is the story. The organizing is the story. It's incredibly important to separate these things.

[00:08:38]Remember that what got built got built.

[00:08:41]See, uh, they think the white power structure, they think, uh, they they have an almost magical belief in violence. Listen to me. They have an almost magical belief about violence.

[00:08:54]Like violence can change history. Like if you destroy something, it's as though it that something was never there to begin with. If you can destroy it, it was never there. That's what they think.

[00:09:04]They think violence can change history.

[00:09:06]And they think if you can take it, then it means it never belonged to anyone but you. If you can steal it, then it's the same as if you created it. This is how they think. If you can destroy it, then it never existed. This is insane. This is insane. They have an insanity about this. They truly do. Like Iraq, for example, they'll they'll make you think that Iraq was never a developed country to begin with. It was never a country, a developed country with free healthcare, free education, or Libya or Syria or Palestine. No, they were always uh always forever and from time immemorial.

[00:09:36]It was always nothing but a chaotic war zone. It was always anarchy. It was always a terrorist wasteland. You see what I mean? They think violence is magical. Like an etcher sketch or something. Do you remember etcher sketch? Like they think as long as you can shake it up and uh you can shake it up and you can erase whatever was there before you shook it. Now you get to make up a whole new reality. That's how they think. This is how they think. Like you never built anything. They'll tell you African-Americans, you never built anything. You never built Rosewood. You never built Greenwood. You never built Black Wall Street. Where are they? I don't see them. So that never happened.

[00:10:08]That never happened. You see how deranged that is? You cannot deny what has been built just because you burned it down. That doesn't change the reality. You understand me? The people who can build are always going to be a people who can build. This is what you've never been able to wrap your head around. They'll always be able to do that. You can't change their nature. You can't change reality just because of your spiteful, jealous, envious violence. You can't change that. That's why the global south, that's why China, that's why Africa, Asia, the Muslim world. Alhamdulillah, that's why we're rising so rapidly and why the West is sinking so fast. Because you were never a people who build. You were never a people who create. You destroy and you steal.

[00:10:53]But our people are a creative people. We are people who build. We're people who improve. We're people who provide. We're people who create. And we always will be that kind of people. which means that we will always surpass you. That's not our fault. We're not trying to surpass you.

[00:11:08]We're not trying to surpass anyone.

[00:11:10]We're just being true to who we are as a people. You understand me? I'm talking about the people of the Muslim world and the people of the global south, including their descendants in the diaspora, in the West, in America, in the in Europe. I hope you understand me.

[00:11:25]You know, if I write a symphony, for example, I write a symphony and you kill me. Okay? I still wrote a symphony that you can't write, that you didn't write and cannot write. Killing me does not erase the reality of my accomplishments and your lack thereof. You understand?

[00:11:43]Your accomplishment, your only accomplishment is my murder. The Black Panthers built arguably the most effective grassroots mutual aid programs in American urban history. They did that. That happened.

[00:11:54]free breakfast for children, uh, free medical clinics, free legal advice, free pest control in housing projects where the, uh, slum lords let rats run rampant, free transportation for the elderly, visiting uh, incarcerated family members, programs that worked so well that the federal government had to copy their breakfast program and turn it into a federal school breakfast program just because the Black Panthers had proven the demand and how to do it, how to how meet that demand. You understand me? The FBI's own internal documents, which we now have access to because they've been declassified or because of the uh Freedom of Information Act, they describe that the Panthers breakfast program was the single greatest internal threat to the United States government.

[00:12:43]Wrap your head around that because it was demonstrating in every city where it operated. It was demonstrating that African-American communities could feed their own children better than the state could.

[00:12:55]That ends dependency. That's what the the Black Panthers proved. Understand me. That was proved. That was proved.

[00:13:01]And it has never gotten disproved. Just because you destroyed the Black Panthers doesn't mean you disprove what they proved by their actions, by their success, the state's response, the assassinations, the co-intel proerations, the murder of Fred Hampton in his bed. Okay, that's the state's confession that the proof of concept of the Black Panthers was unbearable to them. And like I said, move in Philadelphia. They sustained an autonomous black community in the middle of Philadelphia in defiance of every surrounding institution in that city for over a decade. And they were not extinguished by the bombing in 1985. No, they're still there. They're still there. They're still a move community in Philadelphia. The bombing didn't end them. The bombing just told you in fire and explosions that the city of Philadelphia could not tolerate what it was unable to crush by any other means.

[00:13:58]I want you to hear what I'm saying.

[00:13:59]Every single one of those projects was a success.

[00:14:03]Was a remarkable success.

[00:14:06]The power structures reaction does not retroactively make them failures. You understand me? The power structures reaction tells you in the the the power structures own voice that the projects were successful and they were so successful that the that the the power structure couldn't let them stand. That's the proof. The destruction is the proof. The destruction is the power structure admitting that what was being built was real and was working and was successful and that posed a threat to their domination, to their order. Do you understand the inversion?

[00:14:39]You've been taught to read those stories as warnings, like I say, as cautionary tales, but they're not warnings. They're evidence. They're evidence of capacity.

[00:14:49]They're evidence of competence. They're evidence that the people that you come from in the African-American community, the people that you come from with vastly fewer resources than you have access to today, you built civilization repeatedly against impossible odds. You built it well enough to literally terrify the most powerful empire on the face of the earth at that time into committing open atrocities. That's your inheritance, not the burning, the building. And once you see that inheritance correctly, in my opinion, the question is no longer can we build?

[00:15:24]Is this possible? That question has already been answered. It was answered a 100 years ago. It was answered 50 years ago. You understand me? And it has been answered repeatedly. It has been answered every single time that the African-American community have set their hand to that kind of a work. And every time they set their hand to that kind of work, they succeed. I'm telling you, this is why you have to separate these two things. You have to separate these two things. You have to separate what you did and separate that from what they did because uh you did what you did in a certain context. Yes. But also what they did what they did in a certain context.

[00:16:00]Meaning you may still have the capacity to build but they may not still have the capacity to destroy. That's the point that I'm getting to. That's why I keep telling you that you have to re-evaluate America as it exists today in reality today. Not in your memory. not in your collective memory but in 2026.

[00:16:19]That's why I'm telling you about the observable measurable decline in that country and about the trajectory of that country and about the transition the global transition that's underway.

[00:16:30]That's why I'm telling you about the OFC uh the OCGFC the owners and controllers of global financialized capital and their pivot.

[00:16:37]That's why I'm telling you about it because it relates to you. The question is not whether or not you can build community sovereignty uh community autonomy parallel power structures and so forth. You have again like I say proved that time and time again. You've proved many many times that you can do that. So the only real question today is whether the conditions that allowed the power structure to destroy what you built if those conditions are still in place today. That's what you need to evaluate.

[00:17:05]You know, a lot of anti-colonial movements, a lot of anti-imperialist movements that got crushed back in the 50s and 60s and so forth, they didn't get crushed because they did anything wrong. They didn't get crushed because they made any mistakes. Not necessarily.

[00:17:19]Not because they had a bad strategy, but because the timing was wrong. Do you understand what I mean? because you were talking about uh an anti-colonial or an anti-imperialist movement in an era of western and American preeminence, absolute dominance, monopolistic power, huge economic control and so forth. In other words, it's not that those uh anti-imperialist uh colonialist anti-colonialist movements couldn't work. It's that they could not work at that time or rather that they couldn't prevail at that time because the nature of the global power dynamics uh prevented them from being able to succeed or to to prevail ultimately because of the context and context is everything whether you're talking about a country uh a country securing their own sovereignty their own independence from the United States or from the west or uh whether you're talking about a community doing the same getting their independence and sovereignty inside the United States. So you need to understand what has changed since those days because the conditions are not what they were in 20 uh in 1921. The power structure that burned Greenwood, that burned Black Wall Street was at the absolute peak of its global ascent.

[00:18:29]American capital, American political power, American white demographic dominance were all aligned in a single reinforcing project. You understand me?

[00:18:40]the local mob in Tulsa, the uh Oklahoma State National Guard, the federal silence in Washington, the uh financial interest of the white merchants who competed with Black Wall Street. All of those forces, all of those forces were all moving in the same direction because they were all serving a single uh at that time coherent imperial project that required by its own logic black subordination as a structural feature.

[00:19:09]domestically. That alignment is what destroyed Greenwood. It couldn't have been destroyed without it. Not just white racist hatred alone, not just state power alone. Uh the the the alignment of capital, state, and mob all pointing at the same target in service to a project that they all had a stake in. Well, in 2026, that alignment is gone. That alignment is gone. the owners and controllers of global financialized capital, the people that we've been talking about, the people who actually run the world right now, the vanguards, the state streets, the u black rocks, the asset managers and the sovereign wealth funds and the crossber financial networks and so forth. They are no longer aligned or they don't they no longer have a stake uh in American the American racial hierarchical order. They have no stake in that. Their wealth is global. Their interests are global. Their loyalty to the American Imperial Project is entirely and completely contingent and increasingly transactional. You understand me? And a great deal of their capital has already begun to exit the American project entirely already. You understand me? They're buying agricultural land in Africa. They're shifting manufacturing to Vietnam, shifting manufacturing to Indonesia and Mexico. They're parking capital in Dubai. They're parking capital in Singapore. They're parking their capital in uh uh Hong Kong. They are investing in bricks aligned infrastructure projects in the global south. I told you they're building their relationships with the global south. They're positioning themselves for the post American world order which is coming right now. They understand that this is coming whether or not the average American understands it or likes it or not or any white nationalist likes it or not. I'm telling you, Uncle Sam is losing his support system. That sort of Tulsa style alignment assumed that capital was American and that the interests of capital were tied to the maintenance of the American domestic order which includes white supremacist racial hierarchical order and capital would therefore back the local mob and the state apparatus in their suppression of black autonomy because capital had a stake in that suppression. Please understand me.

[00:21:21]Today's capital is not American. Not in any meaningful sense of the term. They don't need American racial hierarchical order to be preserved. I'm not saying that they're not racist. I'm saying that they love money more than they hate you.

[00:21:36]They love money more than they love whiteness. That's a fact. No one's trying to hold on to the old American system. They're not trying to hold that system together. It's actively being dismantled. You can see it. We've been talking about it. They're dismantling it. They want American society to be decentralized. They want it to be fragmented. The owners and controllers of global financialized capital are not coming to defend any vision whatsoever of a cohesive America against parallel black institutions. That's not going to happen. They're not interested in that.

[00:22:09]They've already mentally left the United States. They're not going to send capital to the local mob to coordinate the destruction of your community institutions. What's their interest in that? What's their stake in that?

[00:22:22]Because they no longer have a stake in your subordination. Do you understand me? They are repositioning to a world in which America is just one regional market among many. And the composition and the racial composition of that market is irrelevant to their operations and their interests. Understand me.

[00:22:38]These people are doing business with Arabs and they hate Arabs. They're doing business with Muslims and they hate Muslims. With Asians and Africans and they hate Asians and Africans. They're doing business with South Americans and they hate them. Like I say, they're not doing this because they love them at all. They're not doing it because they don't hold racist attitudes or racist bigotry against them. They're doing it because it makes financial and economic sense. And at the end of the day, that's their top concern. This is the most important structural point that you need to consider. Your great-grandparents in 1921 in Tulsa, Oklahoma, they were facing a unified opponent. Unified at every level. But in 2026, you are facing an opponent that has largely lost interest in what even happens in America. Okay? The local apparatus of suppression, the police force, the state government, local government, and so forth, sort of legacy white nationalist political networks and so forth, the KKK, neo-Nazis and whatnot, little ragtag groups. They still exist. They still exist. They still have some capacity to do damage on a small scale, but they are no longer being reinforced by global capital.

[00:23:40]global capital that has a stake in their continued operations. They're not they don't have that support now. They're operating on a legacy infrastructure.

[00:23:48]They're operating on inertia on the spasms of a of an order whose financeers have already moved on. Do you understand me? That is a much weaker opponent than was faced in Greenwood by your great grandparents.

[00:24:01]Like I've said many times, the collective global south, the collective global south has recognized that predators, which is what they are, which is what the West is, are actually incredibly simple actors to understand.

[00:24:12]They're incredibly simple. Their motivations are shallow, easily legible.

[00:24:17]It's literally as straightforward as what drives a wolf to attack a herd of sheep. It's not complex. It's very easy to understand. And that wolf is always going to act like a wolf. The predator is always going to act like a predator.

[00:24:29]So you need to understand their thinking.

[00:24:32]The global south has learned that a wolf is basically tame as long as his belly is full. That's their whole ideology.

[00:24:38]That's a wolf's whole ideology. Do you understand me? That's why every global south country from China to Saudi Arabia, they have understood that you are dealing essentially when you're dealing with the West, you're dealing with a protection racket. You're dealing with an extortion racket. Pay them off and they'll leave you alone. Listen to me. They can talk whatever they want to talk. you know, they when when when they talk about why this or that nation is bad, why this or that country is bad, this or that leader is bad, or what have you, okay? They'll say, they're uh undemocratic, they violate human rights, they pose a threat to our national security, on and on and on, they're uh I don't know, sponsors of terrorism, they're extremists or whatnot. Uh we don't like them because they oppress women, we don't like them because they're this kind of bad or that kind of bad or whatever kind of bad we want to come up with today. But the only thing that they're actually doing, the only thing that they're actually doing when they say all of that is asking for a bribe. I'm telling you, they're just asking for a bribe. They don't believe in anything. Understand this. They don't believe in anything. They're predators, not believers. They're parasites, not patriots.

[00:25:40]So, you have to understand that mentality. You have to understand that mentality.

[00:25:45]They don't actually hate on the basis of color, on the basis of race or ethnicity or even ideology. They hate on the basis of their own inadequacy.

[00:25:55]If you have what they don't have, they hate you. If you are what they cannot be, they'll hate you. If you can do what they can't do, they'll hate you. But they'll never say that that's the reason that they hate you. They'll never come out and say it. They'll cloak it in all sorts of nonsense about race or about culture, about faith, about principles, or what have you. They'll never come right out and say the real reason. I told you they're marauders.

[00:26:21]And this is why I told you they're marauders. They're scavengers. This is what they were 10,000 years ago. And that's what they are today. That's what they will be 10,000 years from now.

[00:26:29]Understand that mentality. Hunters and gatherers. Hunters and gatherers. Yes.

[00:26:34]Not builders, not creators, not people who develop, not people who advance, not people who grow. Listen to me because you need to understand the mindset of people like that. You have to understand the mindset of people like that. You understand? constant continuous perpetual acquisition of resources.

[00:26:51]That's the only thing they have in their mind. Do you understand that? That means it's a constant continuous perpetual state of panic. They're in a constant perpetual state of panic, of insecurity, of procarity.

[00:27:03]You understand? They didn't put chains on you to keep you down. They put chains on you to keep you close, to keep you near because they're terrified that you can make it without them precisely because they know that they cannot make it without you. Please understand what I'm telling you. This is vital if you're going to make any kind of a strategy moving forward. This is why they're terrified of the global south becoming independent. This is why they've always been terrified of the global south becoming independent, becoming sovereign, because they thought that if the global south becomes independent, if the global south becomes sovereign, then that means that they're going to be destitute.

[00:27:37]And of course, they're not wrong.

[00:27:39]They're not wrong. So, like I say, China has understood, the Muslim world has understood, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and so forth. They've understood and the whole global south is coming to the realization that these people can be bought off. They can be bought off.

[00:27:55]See, I'm not telling you about how shallow and how parasitic their civilization is, their so-called civilization is to just, you know, cut them down to size or something to just insult them or something for some sort of emotional satisfaction to make you happy or to get clicks and likes and whatnot. No, I'm telling you this because it is very important and it is very useful to actually understand who you're dealing with, to understand who you're dealing with and how they think so that you can make your strategies around that. So that you can make informed and effective plans around that because the United States of America is dissolving as a global power. They are dissolving as a global power and domestically the era is coming that uh the era of decentralization the era of fragmenting national authority in that country federal authority the era of of capital flight of regional power realignments and this is exactly the era in which parallel institutions have historically been able to flourish.

[00:28:52]Look at the history. Many many diaspora and minority communities have been able to build durable autonomous infrastructure precisely during periods of uh imperial decentralization, imperial uh crumbling. The Hadrami Arabs, the Yemenes from a a particular valley in Yemen. They built a commercial and religious network all the way from Singapore to Zanzibar to Hyderabad during the collapse of Ottoman authority. You understand? and the chaos of uh uh European colonial expansion.

[00:29:23]They use that opportunity and many of the most important Islamic institutions in Indonesia today trace back to those families who did that, who built those networks.

[00:29:33]The Chinese diaspora in uh Southeast Asia, they built the commercial system during European decolonization.

[00:29:42]That's when they th that's when they thrived. That's when they flourished.

[00:29:45]The Lebanese diaspora built their whole transatlantic networks during the breakdown of French authority in the Levant, the Sooto uh kilafa, their caliphate, their madrasas, their W networks and so forth. Okay, they were continuing throughout British colonization. But they reemerged after uh British colonization ended as the actual operational backbone of northern Nigerian society once the British receded. You understand me? And your own people, African-Americans, you've done this already. You did this once already inside that very country. I'm talking about after reconstruction. When reconstruction collapsed in 1877 and the federal government abandoned black Americans, they abandoned black Americans, exslaves, former slaves to terrorist violence and to state sanctioned brutality. And at that time, the black church became the institutional spine of black American life by default with no capital, no political protection, uh, no state under active KKK violence. They built mutual aid societies. They built financial cooperatives. They built the black colleges, the historically black colleges that still stand until today.

[00:30:52]Spellman, Morehouse, Howard, uh, Tuskegee, Fisk, and so forth. All built in the wreckage of a collapsed federal commitment in the midst of violent suppression, terrorist suppression, like I say, without any capital, without any political power whatsoever. That happened. That's a thing that happened.

[00:31:12]That accomplishment cannot be erased.

[00:31:13]Your great-grandparents did that. They achieved that. The pattern is near universal across human history.

[00:31:19]Decentralization is an opportunity.

[00:31:22]Decentralization is an opportunity. The contraction of central authority is a precondition for the flowering and the flourishing of autonomous institutions.

[00:31:31]That's what's coming. That's what's coming in America. That's the era that you are moving towards in your country.

[00:31:38]And like I say, your people have already done that kind of work more than once in that country. You've you've already done that work many times under far worse conditions than the than the conditions that you're facing today. So when I say that conditions have changed, I'm not asking you to believe that the power structure has changed or that the power structure has become benign or non-racist, that they stop being racist or something like that. No, the power structure is what it is. It's what it is what it has always been in terms of their character and what it always will be. Localized violence in America is going to continue. Persecution will continue. Predation by the system will continue. Of course, it will. There's nothing else that it knows how to do.

[00:32:16]But there are going to be constraints on the methods that they can use, right?

[00:32:21]Mechanisms like gentrification, that's going to go on. Predatory lending, that's going to go on. Police violence will go on. Incarceration will go on, probably intensify, probably full scale.

[00:32:31]There's no safety in that country. There never has been safety in that country for African-Americans. And there's not going to be safety for African-Americans in 2026. There's not going to be safety for African-Americans in 2046.

[00:32:42]That's a fact. But again, that is exactly why you need to start trying to build self-sufficiency and autonomy.

[00:32:50]Why you need to do that instead of trying to appeal in any way whatsoever to that system. Now, the nature of that system, the nature of that system, the nature of that society is that you are always going to be opponents. But I am telling you that the uh coordinated destruction like in Tulsa, the kind of uh coordinated destruction that requires the alignment of capital and state and white mob all acting together as a single instrument of an empire that's at the peak of its confidence. That capacity is gone. It's not 1921. It's not 1965. Uncle Sam is a shadow of his former self. That's a fact. This is also a fact. Like I say, that alignment is broken. The capital has already left. The state is already fragmenting. The white nationalists and so forth, they're still going to act up.

[00:33:39]Yes. The the like I say, the neo-Nazis and whatnot, but that's mostly just going to be sort of spasms of a of a contracting demographic minority that's lost its global ideological backing and financial backing. They're going to be used to stir up domestic friction just to justify greater police uh uh police state policies that are going to be enforced against everybody. You understand me? But the era that is coming, as I say, will be characterized by less central control, not more central control. By more space for distributed institutions, parallel institutions, not less space, by more opportunity for parallel systems to take root, not less opportunity. Do you understand me? And understand that when I tell you that it's not going to be safe for African-Americans even in 2046.

[00:34:25]I'm not telling you go back to Africa, I'm not telling you to abandon your uh uh heritage in that country.

[00:34:33]And I'm not telling you to try to compete better in their economy or to build a better voting block or even a better economic block with a with the intention of participating in their system. I'm not telling you to leave America and I'm not telling you to fight America. I'm telling you be a state inside of a state. Be a nation within a nation. Be a country within a country. A parallel structure, a parallel system, a parallel economy. Why? In this day and age, you could even think about a parallel black currency in the United States that could even become global.

[00:35:08]Like I said, the proof that you can build is already in your inheritance.

[00:35:13]Greenwood is the proof. Wilmington is the proof. The UNIA is the proof. The Black Panthers is the proof. move is the proof. You understand? Every single one of those projects demonstrates capacity, remarkable capacity that American empire and the white power structure could not match and could only destroy by force only. You come from a people who build things. You come from a people who built those things. You have that in your genes. You have that in your inheritance. You have the proof of concept already in hand in more favorable conditions than those under which they accomplished what they accomplished. What for example your grandmother accomplished. Do you understand? They had the plan. They had the initiative back then. But they didn't have the conditions for success.

[00:36:00]Now you have the conditions. So do you have the plan? Do you have the initiative? See that's why they want you to have the destruction of those past initiatives uppermost in your minds. why they want you to only remember the burning of Black Wall Street. That's why they want you to give up the idea of building before you even start. Because now in 2026, they know that they can't stop you if you start. The question again is not can you. The question is will you? The question is whether your generation sitting at the front end of an era of decentralization.

[00:36:32]an era of decentralization that in my opinion future historians are going to study as one of the greatest civilizational openings of the modern era. Whether or not your generation has the imagination, has the discipline and has the courage to do what your great-grandparents already proved was possible to do and for you to do it uh under conditions today uh in which the white power structure that destroyed them is no longer in any sort of a position to destroy you. And by the way, just by the way, anyone who says about what I'm talking about sufficiency building and so forth, we've tried that before, you know, when you suggest building par parallel systems and so forth, if they say we tried that before and failed, then please explain to me, please explain to me how you keep voting, how you keep voting in election after election, every two years, every four years, and you get nothing out of it, but you still keep doing it. I guess that we tried that before argument doesn't apply to that. But why not?

[00:37:28]Look, you have the Black Caucus, right?

[00:37:30]Think about this. You have the Black Caucus, the Congressional Black Caucus.

[00:37:34]That's I think 55 years old. It's like my age. It was founded in 1971. I was born in 1971.

[00:37:40]Has anyone ever bombed their offices?

[00:37:43]Has anyone ever firebombed the CBC conference?

[00:37:47]Has any sitting member of the Congressional Black Caucus ever been assassinated by co-intel pro style state operations the way that they assassinated Fred Hampton? No.

[00:37:57]The the the Congressional Black Caucus has been allowed to operate in the United States capital for over half a century.

[00:38:06]Its members have acquired seniority.

[00:38:08]They've chaired committees. You understand? They've held annual conferences with thousands upon thousands of attendees.

[00:38:16]They've been received at the White House by every sitting president, every president since uh Richard Nixon. And we already know how he felt about black people.

[00:38:26]They've been protected. Understand me.

[00:38:29]They have been protected by the same state that murdered Fred Hampton in his bed. Well, ask yourself why. Because the Congressional Black Caucus is not a threat inside that institutional uh channel with all the symbolism, the symbolism of black political representation, but none of the substantive disruption of black autonomous power. The Congressional Black Caucus is exactly the kind of formation that the power structure is happy to host. They're happy to host that because it absorbs black political energy. You understand? And all the it absorbs that and it produces nothing but speeches and resolutions and press conferences and so forth. It doesn't feed children outside of the state's permission, outside of the system. It doesn't run schools outside of the state's curriculum. It doesn't build cooperative banks that route black wealth around the asset management oligarchy. It doesn't establish uh uh uh endowments like WAC networks that escape federal taxation.

[00:39:31]It doesn't organize international black solidarity in ways that will bypass dollar hegemony. No, it operates completely inside the institution, inside the system on the system's own terms.

[00:39:44]And the system has correctly calculated that the that that nothing it does will ever damage the system. So it lives for 55 years. It has lived untouched.

[00:39:54]Like I say, now compare that to the projects that we've been talking about.

[00:39:58]Compare that to the projects we've been talking about. Greenwood, Black Wall Street destroyed. Wilmington destroyed.

[00:40:04]Uh Garvey imprisoned and uh deported.

[00:40:06]The Black Panthers assassinated. uh infiltrated, dismantled, move, actually literally bombed from a helicopter in the middle of the city. The pattern is impossible to miss once you see it. It's impossible to not understand what that pattern means.

[00:40:23]The institutional black formation that operates inside the political system is left alone. But the autonomous black community formations that operate outside the system, they're targeted.

[00:40:35]The same power structure that murdered Fred Hampton protected the Congressional Black Caucus. And for the same reason, for the same reason. So now look at the historical record. Look at the historical record with with with this manner of thinking. The fact that they burned down what they burned down is evidence that what was being built was correct and was working.

[00:40:58]voting, the the the the institutional the Congressional Black Caucus, the symbolic representation.

[00:41:05]Those are the activities that they offered to your grandmother and to your generation instead of the things that she that your grandmother was actually fighting for.

[00:41:15]And they offered them precisely because they had already calculated that that would not endanger them in any way. That that wouldn't threaten their power and their control and their domination. They burned what was dangerous and they tolerated and they rewarded what was harmless. The historical record of what they burned and the historical record of what they did not burn is the most reliable map that you have of what's worth trying to build of worth of what's worth standing for. Especially now especially now when Uncle Sam's lighter is running out of lighter fluid.
