The 400 Year War and War Reparations🗽

Hello. How are you today? That’s good. That’s good. Good morning. I just said good morning to the graveyard. And they said good morning back. A couple people actually pause. New paragraph.

So today, the 22nd of June Let’s see. There’s a lot of psychological stuff going on in the world right now. And we have been listening to some louis farrakhan and some Muhammad Ali. There’s a YouTube channel we discovered called real Black, one word. And so we took a look at that and there was a really enlightening Muhammad Ali, interview. Five, five minutes or so about the cultural differences between the races and being sort of early on like being just being honest and earnest about it. brutally honest, how about that word? honest with brutality? Hmm I guess if we’re ending, all brutality, we may have to also and brutal honesty and maybe it can be a new form of soft or tender. Warm assertive, gentle, generous, courageous kind. consideration. considerate honesty. Maybe that’s what the kind of honesty that we could we could actually make use of it As opposed to some sort of brute force honesty. So there’s your philosophical lesson for the day. Okay, new paragraph there’s an emotional awareness that is occurring on new levels right now. Which is really exciting to witness and to be a part of. It has a lot to do with this word privilege, this concept of privilege, which has been used for in the modern day It has been used as a a weapon against children. Right, this is commonly known as a word, a tool that parents use to get kids to do what they want. They just call them privileged. And most recently, there has been a lot of discussion on Reddit about privilege most recently as in the past few years, past five years about parents using this word, and, and it being a sort of strategy or tactic that has to do with their own fears of parenthood in the modern age, and either projecting those fears onto the child or transferring their fears onto the child. We have to do some more reading research about projection and transference and the differences, the differences and similarities between the two. And then also how privilege and entitlement are similar in different as well because parents and kids, and these can be adult children. These can be the siblings, and the parents who are at odds and struggle psychologically and emotionally with their own inner workings and inner contradictions and inner peace and war, where a lot of his projection is a slippery slope and there’s all sorts of guilt, shame, humiliation, paranoia, mixed up with all sorts of different levels and layers of love. But there’s this conversation online about entitled parents. And because that’s something they’ve been using as a control mechanism. But that comes from the natural fear of losing a child. Okay, so no one wants to lose a child. And that could be their greatest tragedy or one of the greatest strategies, you know, it’s, it’s up there. So, moving moving on moving on this concept of privilege. And it’s kind of interesting now, because if any parents has said this to a child, it’s interesting for them. But I do want to make a note that this is we’re talking generational. Communication gaps now. This is this is about generations, right? And in my case, it’s about my generation, the millennials and below the gen Gen Xers and Gen centers, and it’s about our communication gaps and our miscommunications versus our direct communicate with the baby boomers, the baby booms. We’ll call them baby boomers because, you know, boomers doesn’t do it fully justice, because there are a bunch of babies. And there if you go to Wikipedia, their pseudonym is that is literally the me, generation. The generation Me, me, me, that comes from the silent generation. You know, they were neglected. By the silent generation, their parents, and then their parents before that come from the great the greatest generation from World War One, I believe. So you have this concept of privilege and specifically white privilege. And after watching some of these specifically the Louis Farrakhan interview and Muhammed Ali it becomes apparent that we have to define privilege underneath what that is because, again, you have all you have all these the parents who, again the generational war between the kids and trying to keep your kids safe, but get get your kids to be successful to listen to you. And so they’ve been using this idea for privilege now the parents are, are having to look at their own privilege and against specifically white privilege, and what is the outcome? Maybe that’s the cause, what is the effect of causes white privilege? What is the effect of this? This cause, right, what is the problem that comes out of the cause what is underneath the cause or behind the cause? And I think it has to do with this distortion, or delusion or compartmentalization or denial. So you could say White is white denial. You know, and this has to do a lot, very deeply with the MIS education of kids in America. It has a lot to do with the education And not that we need to refund. I mean, we talked about how it’s so awful. It’s been defunded, you know, arts and education and civic education, right? It’s been defunded, but maybe it’s a bad education system. Right. So now all this talk about D funding, and an after D funding comes refunding. Maybe this is this is the evolution, psychological, emotional, physical, environmental, financial evolution that we’re going through as a group of human beings on planet Earth. And that is to just look deeper into these structures and see between the lies right read between the lines see between the lies And so that we can see what’s what’s inside so we can take it apart and put it back together in a new way. So that’s that. That’s that. I think it’s like, you know, this idea of a bad education system and in effective educational systems and even more so, like this is propaganda by not facing the realities of our of our history are very traumatic, very shameful, very painful history. And this, this brings it all back to this, this concept of a 400 year war. And we just went we just reached the 400 year mark. This is this is quite quite statistically Or, scientifically, mathematically, whatever. This, you know, 1619 New York Times has a podcast called 1619. I believe that’s when the first people were stolen, kidnapped from Africa, put on it on a ship. And if I remember correctly, because we were listening to it maybe six months ago. And it’s an excellent podcast that we all got to check out in our re education of the history of America, because that’s what’s really, you know, that’s what is happening right now. And re education. So, maybe 20 people were on the ship or kidnapped from Africa, brought over to Virginia. And that happened in 1619. And they were enslaved, obviously, and, you know, for 400 years This was a war that was waged on the people of Africa. And subsequently the the African Americans. And so, so that’s the context. And then inside that context, if we can come to the realization that it was a war, a war on Africa, then war, reparations are an order and a reconstruction period is an order and maybe a new America with a new flag and a new constitution. Also, all these ideas can be explored, you know, you go back and you study the Civil War. And and that’s, that’s what you see, you see kind of like a refounding of the country. And that’s pretty a pretty exciting project. If, if you can sit down and talk about it and everyone can be heard. You know all this stuff about the statues right now? It’s kind of ridiculous. Everyone’s saying you’re erasing our history, john oliver was really funny and say, you know, that that’s where we were seeing it lately. All these statues, you’re in the response, you’re erasing our history, but you can’t erase the history, it’s in the history books, you’d have to burn all the history books. So these statues are just, you know, Petty statue. And to begin with is sort of like a false idol. You know, unless it’s like a piece of art, unless it’s a giant piece of art, you know, that doesn’t let that the size matters, but unless it’s like a real piece of art, and I do just want to say, the Statue of Liberty. It’s literally a statue of liberty. It’s not a specific person with a name, other than that Statue of Liberty stands for liberty, which is freedom. And then underneath freedom is equality, and justice. These are wonderful things and it’s like this Not only is it this huge, incredible piece of art, but it was a gift from another country. And it had to travel across the Atlantic Ocean 1886 just incredible story. So that’s the difference between, you know, Confederate General and the Statue of Liberty for to just put it in, to riff to reframe this, this discussion about statues because you could take down all the statues, you could take them all down. I don’t it doesn’t matter what statute is, take them all down if it’s based on a person to fight a false idol, take it down. Because the history of this of this country right gets back to this idea of distorting whiteness, the history of whiteness, distorting and and Miss educating To create this bubble, this reality distortion field to deny this incredibly violent past, you know, it honestly makes you it will make the normal person sick to hear some of the things that happened over the course of the 400 year war. So again, there has to be some sort of reconciliation. And there has to be, you know, a lot of discussion about how you know how the system the system itself creates institutionalized racism. And that system is not just the government. It’s not just the education, the health care, that is all wrapped up now in private interest, which has to do with capitalism. And so you could say that this Economic racism. This is economic poverty. And that’s not something that you know, that’s a pretty hard one to look at. You know, because now you gotta know, you gotta really know. Now, the moment you start to be anti, you know, first of all, we’re anti, we’re not anti capitalism. This is not an anti capitalistic point of view. This might be anti advertisements. Okay, I could admit that, because advertisements are just the most dehumanizing you know, it’s it’s very forceful, and it just doesn’t compare to a real relationship. A real ongoing, monthly yearly lifetime, lifelong potentially. relationship with your customers, your users, your fans. And of course we speak about memberships and subscriptions and the subscription economy. We got a got to reach out to Tien Tzuo of Zuora, “how Zuora subbed the world” Su BB Ed the world because now we’re talking about relationships and we’re talking about empowering the people power to the people. So that is a capitalism we could be able to work with. That if because we give a new power to the people, then there’s at least a fuller approach. Now everyone has a voice. And now you’re talking about not a democratic republic where we just vote on people who vote for us. It’s like creating statues. These politicians are just people and We just bet on people as opposed to just voting for ourselves on the issues at hand, like abortion, like health care, like certain medicine. For instance, cannabis psychedelics, do do we say yay? Let’s make it legal. Let’s tax it. Let’s regulate it. Let’s, you know, treat treat addiction in a in a certain way as if it was a disease, or do we just want to lock people up in prisons there and then there’s the biggest, you know, prisons and police. Let’s have a vote, where do our tax tax dollars go? So this is all you know, this is all on the table right now, which is why this movement, we have to kind of like, bring it all all the way back. That this movement, Black Lives Matter was started in 2013. There’s a documentary online made in 2016 called stay woke. It’s the Black Lives Matter documentary on youtube for free. Definitely check that shit out. It’s only 40 minutes I believe. Where you get to meet the three co founders, Patrice, Alicia and opal these are amazing people. Okay and that’s why we credit where credit is due outside of you know the this the brutality against black communities of black people oppressed people across the world by these police departments that have structural racism routes and mechanisms in place to continue oppressing and to continue abusing and aggressing that this is really this is like the civil rights movement, which I’m just now learning that the civil rights leaders were really treated and labeled as domestic terrorists in the 50s and 60s. And all of these leaders, these these, these leaders were like these leaders of Black Panthers, leaders of Black Panther were killed by police. Martin Luther King, obviously Malcolm X, Medgar, Evers, and more. And now we’re just learning about Angela Davis. And how articulate and how intelligent and how, really this is an emotional awareness that they that they are trying to communicate with the world that is based on the type of injustice, which is just it’s just brutality of the system. And the way the lenses we have to look through that are the lenses of white and black communities and white and black people. And, you know, facing the reality of our history and not trying to manipulate it so that we can survive emotionally. You know, bury it and then it turns into either chronic pain In our spine or turns in your or worse, cancer or it turns into heart attacks, you know, the attack of the heart. And the heart is like for until since the beginning of the time, you know, we’ve we say, you know, follow your hearts right? So the heart is kind of like the head, the head is the heart, in a lot of religions, cultures across the world since the beginning of time, the heart is very important. It pumps the blood all over the all over the body. So these heart attacks, the real the strokes, all this illness and disease, if you bury it, you don’t face your reality. And over time you you this distortion, these lies become just the story you tell yourself. And then you just say all it’s not a big deal. toughing it out. Suck it up. You know, life is crazy and Let’s just be just be glad that you are killed, you know, and then it dismisses all the emotional psychological pain, which exists in the same center of the brain, that physical pain exists. Shout out to cutting edge neuroscience. Anyways, so to bring it all back, we’re talking about white privilege here. And White distortion, white denial, white compartmentalization. And then the reality being this 400 year war that we’ve just, we’ve just now come into it as of this past year 1619 to 2019 it’s an incredible saga of violence. And I mean, really, it’s a mental it’s just as much mental as it is physical. Violence, brutality, humiliation and manipulation, fear mongering, propaganda control. You know, you’re grasping, you’re grasping for fear, right? That’s how they’re communicating a lot of politicians. This is what they do. This is why the Democratic Republic, it’s not. It’s not democracy. This is why we call for weekly voting. That’s what I want. I want to vote at least every week on something, you know, even And right now, the best way I do that is through my likes, my comments, my shares, but most importantly, these days, shout out to change. org because change.org is a vote. It’s a strong vote. It’s a place where you go and you sign a petition. So these are steps in the right direction. This is the internet expressing itself and the technology is always evolving. It’s not going to stay the same. So voting is a is dumb democracy at its best, you know, even if you like, even if you comment, or even if you share something, these are levels of voting. And the reason why you know, I want to bring it all circle full circle, credit is credit where credit is due. Black Lives Matter is the civil rights movement with the internet, with Twitter, with Instagram, YouTube, Facebook, Tik, Tok, Twitch, medium, LinkedIn, all of this. So this is really a story about technology as well and you’re not going to be able to you can’t really see Silence people. All we can do now is, is organize our votes so that we can vote. I want to vote every week, at least but I want to cast a vote. I want to say I believe in cannabis legislation right now, for, you know, whether we’re voting for our state or whether we’re voting. Maybe it starts with the states. I want to vote for war reparations to begin to attempt to bring an end to the war, the 400 year war on Africa and African Americans and then begin to ask for forgiveness formally from Africa and African Americans and and then begin some sort of reading reef reconstruction period. That is the Under this notion of a refounding of this country, you know, this is going to take a while but so that’s why again, Black Lives Matter is okay, we put it like this. And this is very specific. Okay. We’re going to start it with a quote. Andre Tarkovsky, one of the greatest filmmakers ever, to ever live from Russia. He has this quote, it’s a very long quote, we don’t have it in front of us. But he says, weakness is a great thing. Strength is nothing. What has hardened will never win. And then the quote goes into why weaknesses is what we want and strength. While we want to do away with this idea of being tough, you know, it reminds us of being tough on crime, you know, Reagan, Nixon, Clinton. So, Black Lives Matter as a movement, which has become more than an organization. And this is detailed in the documentary on YouTube. Stay woke. It is the systems. The system is all encompassing thing that includes our government and our economy. Our way of operating as a species on this planet, physically, emotionally, psychologically, financially, environmentally, all of this black lives matter. is the weakest point in the system, it’s the greatest weakness in the system right now. Where everything all of this history is really being laid bare and exposed. And that’s going to take a while the re education the writing Pun intended of the MIS education of America and like myself, my own education being sub, like just completely neglectful and, and propaganda. But this is gonna take a while, but this movement is again, it’s the civil rights movement with the internet. It’s a movement on the internet on it’s on like steroids because of it and and that’s why we just as a people, no matter who you are, we can all come together. And we can realize that this is our chance to put a pause on everything and defunding is the correct strategy right now and then the refunding comes afterwards but it’s a real everything’s being brought to the table and it’s an it’s a it’s a perfect this this police brutality thing is just yeah, it’s like, this is the weakest. This is their greatest weakness right now we have to continue, continue telling stories in this video. For the next hundred years, you know for our grandkids or grandkids, great grandkids are great, great grandkids. This is that we have to, like, we have to own this story. And we just got to make it ours, right? We just kind of like stand up and tell this story. And we don’t even have to say sorry. Here’s the thing. We we want to ask for forgiveness, please forgive me. You know, set it set us set us free. I’m speaking, obviously, speaking for first of all my generation and the younger generations, because I believe that’s what we want. We want emotional, psychological, physical, mental. We want mental and physical and environmental justice. We all these corporate interests, we want them out. Or at least we want to see what they look like. We want to see behind The curtain and I think once we see behind the curtain we’re going to see and be able to de cipher and decode what’s going on and and that’ll be where will tell will tell stories. All right, this is where we’ll leave. We’ll leave off for today. ratios Rashard Brooks. So I watched the whole I watched like a six minute version of the video on YouTube. And the most interesting part of it, it’s obviously the tragedy. Very sad to see the whole thing unravel and it starts out where they’re having this conversation about his family, his girlfriend, his mom, you know and then passing out his mom passing and the officer sorry. And it’s like, they’re, they’re sharing moments. They’re sharing their story. They’re they’re sharing pain, you know, ratio and books are sharing So then they then he follows all their directions and even says, I don’t want to refuse anything. Yes, I’ll do it like he’s a very kind and gentle and generous person. Okay, who’s who’s who’s who’s had some some to drink. And that’s probably a part of the story here, but I think you could actually take it out if you wanted if you wanted to explore it. I don’t think I think I don’t think it was because he was drunk. The reason he struggled, like you put a hand on, we’re talking like, possibly generational trauma. I mean, no one likes. No one likes to be touched. First of all, Get your hands off me. Okay, and that’s what so after 20 minutes of like, conversation communication between these people, you know, the guy who showed up was a different person. too, but he surprised them, you know, he surprised that he put his hands on him, both of his hands quickly went around his back was the most insensitive aggressive move. And, and it was and then by by the time right before he snaps and he tries to break free, both officers are behind him. You know, both officers have their hands on him for some reason. And it’s just a very almost, you know, it’s cringe to the maximum turned all the way up. Because I can imagine, you know, two people behind me with their hands on me putting, you know, restraining me it’s like there’s real trauma here. Whether this is like his own memories or whether this is generational, you know, because that that genetic generational trauma i think is is coming to light as like something you know, if your ancestors dealt with Whatever happened to them gets handed down in your DNA. So it’s like, but, you know, as a man as a boy as a as a man in this world, do you get into wrestling matches, you get into fights where it’s really, it’s not comfortable for most of us, if we didn’t study fighting or study wrestling, it’s very uncomfortable to be touched and to be restrained. aggressively. So there’s an emotional factor here, but getting to the end, the most interesting part. I know, we’re going on about this but the most underappreciated part in this whole absolutely tragic traumatic story another young black person getting killed by white officers, just another one. Okay, this is culturally This is Unbelievably fcd up. Okay, this is like, it just keeps getting worse. This guy’s only 27 like these kids, right? So I speak, I speak again from my generation. We’re just kids. I don’t care if we’re like in our 30s right now, but because most of us have, anyways, that’s a topic for another time but the most underappreciated part of this story, as the video goes on, is when the officer after the murder, the officer standing by and his boss, who I’m guessing is his Lieutenant comes up, and he says to him, Are you are you okay? Because you’re my number one priority. And then he says, you know, we’re gonna take care of this. We’re gonna get this cleared up. He doesn’t know anything about the shooting. Whether it was a good shoe or a bad shoe, shout out to Shout out to Bosch good shoot or bad shoot this was obviously a bad shoot a bad shoot for you know we’ll go into it in the video on the YouTube channel probably with our with a review. But he said but the most important thing here is he says you’re my number one priority and this is the problem with the system. You know this is much like a parent who says to their child, like I’m gonna take care of you no matter what Don’t worry, I got your back. Unconditional Love Like you’re I’m responsible for you if you did something wrong it reflects badly on me so I’m going to make sure it doesn’t matter what you did. I’m gonna take care of you. It’s very mafioso very gang like to say this, you know? And, but the literal job description of this Lieutenant who has spent his entire life in law enforcement in Atlanta in this case…

Forgot there is a 40 min time limit. We will transcribe the rest by hand later tomorrow…
