Dr. Umar Johnson Discusses Inter-Racial Marriage, President Trump, Self-Hatred & More

you're watching The Breakfast Club in the morning, everyone is a DJ, envy Angela Yee Shalom in God, we are The Breakfast Club, we have a special guest in the building, yes sir, dr. Umar Johnson it's a loving family I'm glad I'm back it's good to see everyone on your mind one day the man also just came back from China and Japan okay my first visits there talking to Africans and Japan . I spent the week in Japan, Tokyo and Nagoya and then you know, yes, the goriias joke. I really enjoyed it and then I went to Shanghai in Beijing, it was bittersweet because it was good to see Africans in a different environment than the United States.

Well, I had never been to China, so it was very good to see that the bitter side is the fact that we are not treated well there. I'm not surprised by that, but I was surprised by the degree to which racism against black people is openly practiced in China, so in the United States we have a civil rights culture, so racism has to be hidden, it has to be covered up. in China it is a lot, I would say that China not so much

more

with China because the United States has a very close relationship with Japan, they are the third leg of the trilateral commission so the Japanese are considered the white men of Asia so we are talking about China in In particular there were certain nightclubs that we couldn't go into oh yeah and they'll tell you no black people are allowed here there are certain sections of certain neighborhoods that you can't live in so for example if you're not wanted in a certain section of Brooklyn, they will simply use smart real estate tactics to keep you out, that is, your credit and good enough that the bank won't do it.

Approve you just, they don't have to do that in China exactly they run it, we don't want black people here like a lot of people, I've known them for a long time because that's what factories are and yeah, Oh, without a doubt. The irony is that what surprises me is rolling out the red carpet to China. I mean, they've taken over the Caribbean, they've taken over Africa, they're all in South Africa, in fact Mandarin is now an official language in a Southern Republic. Zulu Africa is not a thing, it is not, so indigenous languages ​​are not taught in school, but Mandarin talks about the influence of China, but they do not roll out the red carpet for us in China.

You know, the answer has to know. when you think about it, you think historically over the years when you go to Chinese establishments and the way they treat us, I mean, that's why old dogs smoke, they do it in medicine along with, yeah, Chinese, I mean , like my entire side of my family. It's ting, I will say this although my grandparents were not happy with my dad marrying a black woman and they definitely go to the wedding very well and they are from China, but my aunts and uncles are fine because you know they were born here different.

Now remember, when you travel in Asia, it's okay, especially when you go to Southeast Asia, the skin becomes darker, for example, in Vietnam there are Vietnamese people who look like us, they have the Asian phenotype. Okay, the structure of the face, but the skin tone in the hair is just Like us, I remember talking to some old men who served in Vietnam and they said we brought back some of those prisoners. Prizes on the truck and they look like they were from North Philly or South Bronx. They look like us. Cambodians even look like us. in China there are certain places you can go where the Chinese our black skin would not be here again the Asian facial structure but totally African because we are the first to settle in China remember Buddha you know there are many Jamaican Chinese yes, many yes, of fact yes In fact, remember that now Buddha comes from India and goes to China and I had the opportunity to visit a Buddhist temple, but Buddha was a black man and when you look at any of the early Buddha statues, you clearly see the locks and the curves I had.

The modern phenotype of the Asian is not seen in the last 100 years, but any ancient statue of Buddha clearly shows that one has the same in Africa with Krishna, the God of the Vedic tradition. Krishna means the black one and Buddha means the black one. Face clearly that there is an African origin in Asia, but these have origin no matter where you go in the world because we are the first to build all civilizations everywhere, so I don't care if you are in Mexico if you are in Europe, who They were the first Europeans, the Grimaldis of Africa, who migrated 20 to 40 thousand years ago and in the process of climatology they lost their pigmentation, the deep pigmentation that we have, so no matter where you go, we were the first people anywhere .

In the world we can go and not experience racism, no, not at all, the Caribbean, not even in the Caribbean, in fact, when I was in Jamaica at the keynote speech at the Garvey celebration last summer, Oh Joe is surprised , the Chinese practically own Jamaica, I mean the Jamaican government. They are giving them concessions land concessions they are building hotels beach resorts they are building two schools for the Japanese, excuse the foot for the Jamaicans and what the Jamaicans have to give them in turn is the right to certain lands, the right to certain waterways. and if Jamaica does not stop, ironically the land of Marcus Garvey and Bob Marley will be the first Chinese colony in the Caribbean, it is getting bad and you know why it is happening because the leadership of the black bourgeoisie in both Africa and the Caribbean does not. do.

They have to live with the consequences of the economic decisions they make, so if I'm the

president

of Jamaica, okay, in China it says, listen, we want to give you a million dollars in retirement, we'll build you a retirement home, but we want this . and this, and you can lend as much money as you want, you can borrow as much money from the Bank of China as you want. I'll be ready when I leave office, but what about my nation? Jamaica will be struggling for the next 50 and 75 years because of the poor economic decisions of today's

self

ish leaders and that is the problem in Africa and it is the problem in the Caribbean either, that is true.

I love going to Anguilla and a couple of years ago just one of the guys on the islands said the Chinese took over everything here yeah yeah talking about when we were in the Bahamas everyone got mad about this. Baha Mar said the Chinese were building a hotel. Well, you have to remember that China is overpopulated, so it was always looking for opportunities to get rid of. part of this excess population and you know, what is so sad, the Chinese will come to South Africa poor, with nothing and in three years they will be involved in two or three important businesses, because what happens is that when the Chinese come, they they do with their own, they do not employ indigenous people.

African labor, but this is exactly what the heads of state tell the blacks, let the Chinese come to Jamaica, let them come to South Africa, they will give them jobs, but the jobs never come, they bring their own population, which makes sense from your perspective. because there are so many people who need a place to go outside of China, so they show up broke and come home like millions and see anything but lawyers. I have seen a kosher Chinese restaurant and I cannot understand the negative culture, although it is strange, but the question Envy is because of that and it is because all cultures come to America to build an economic empire for themselves, the Chinese East Indians, a Latin rap, whoever comes to America comes to build a cultural empire, everyone except African Americans, so when you travel around the country you have a little bit of Italy in every major city, right, you have a Chinatown in every major city, you see, you even see little Cambodia appear now around exactly what you have, you have a Martin Luther King jr.

Street you have a Martin Luther King Jr. Street, but there is no African city, there is no place in black America, you can go and find the four essential institutions needed for the school, the community bank, the Supermarket, the Hospital, you know why it's ironic? Last year, black America, in 2016, we spent two billion dollars on Air Jordans for a billion. in liquor and alcohol six hundred million on fast food and we spend twice as much Mercedes Benz as white America, although white America has twice the wealth of the black vote, so the question is why what does the Mercedes have?

Benz that makes it so attractive to African Americans even when they can barely afford it is because it is a status symbol and one thing we know about oppressed people when you can't enjoy true freedom you surround your

self

with the symbolism of it and that's why the Louis bag is so important that's why our kids will care to kill for air jordans, it's not the sneaker, it's what it represents and if I think I'm worthless that means I can only add value to myself so I put in my body compared to what I put in How do we stop it?

How do we slow it down? Because since I was a child, those symbols, I mean, when I was a child, it wasn't a Mercedes, it was the Cadillac, yes, I'm sure that's already the case. Oh, I think I think I just buy. which I like now, but when I was a kid I wanted that car because it was a status symbol. I wanted those sneakers because they were a status symbol. You know me, but how do we get back to the point where you know that's not the case? We will have to rewire the mind, let's go to college, we all went to college, remember in college, okay, but you've been on campuses and notice how black college students dress nice, but do it when it's time to pay that. tuition, have fun, I had to take a semester off because they don't have the right money, but look how you draw them at my school, we all had sweatshirts every day.

I went to a PWI and now in Pennsylvania we have Lincoln. I have Cheney, but I've been okay because now I would say your school was unique because most places you went, HBCUs, in the end you know the women dressed exactly, I mean exactly, and I remember we had a seminar of financial aid about an admissions director and said: I don't understand all of you. He said: Yes, I have money for change. I have money for Power House. Yes, I have money for Jordan. I have money for nice cars, but you don't have money for. pay your tuition and you know what it's about, it's about priorities.

I was at a homeownership seminar and guess what the white guy said, he was from a bank and he was honest. I agree with him, he said, listen, it's not always about racism, although it is. wrong, but the point he made next was right, he said the problem is when you all come to us for a loan, when African Americans walk into a white bank to ask for a loan, what usually disqualifies them isn't even that much your credit or your job. history are your priorities many times you buy your car before buying your house even if you have a half decent income if you already bought the caddy truck the Benz the Mercedes and you come to look for a house after the car I know that if you fall into difficult economic times and You have to make a decision between your mortgage or your car note.

You will pay your car note first, yes, because I will take it to the house, but you will see me arrive all the time exactly. a trucker exactly exactly not in vain that's the way I take it, you know, I mean, when I first bought my car I was thinking no one would see my house there, you'll see my car when it arrives exactly, which I always thought exactly otherwise. I mean, that's so crazy like I always thought I'd rather have a nice crib, you know, no matter what I do, I was 18, well that's a mature thought and that's not the predominant mode of thought for African Americans.

Now you understand our last conversation last year was right before Donald Trump's election, remember that and you asked me what I think he would win and I said Hillary was the option but I think she can win because she is changing the trajectory of the United States. Poor whites united and no one expected it. a filthy rich white man to get so much support from poor white America and that's why they ended up at the 11th hour having to give him that white house. Now people ask me what we can expect from a Donald Trump white house for black America and the answer.

It's very simple, you can expect exactly what you got from Obama's white house, absolutely nothing, look at the Obama years and it's our fault, not Obama's, because we took time away from social political education, we created an atmosphere in the United States. United where it is safe to ignore black people. 'cause black people willingly ignore themselves for eight years, you know, I could move that truck, he was a symbol, he was the symbol we were happy with in December with no substance and that's our problem now, remember that right after After Trump was elected, it was a women's march, remember Many of the same white women who put Trump in office turned around and marched, it wasn't because they were against Trump, remember after dr.

Assassination of the King The United States decided on a social policy of never allowing the black agenda to be primary again, so every time a

president

is elected, they are automatically given an issue ofnon-black minority that practically defined his campaign, so Barack Obama was soon the LBGT. when he was elected he went to war over LBGT as a way to overshadow our problems, as soon as Donald Trump was elected he had the Women's March, so they're doing it, and after that there's the immigrant situation , so the problems of minorities continued. The Trump administration is going to be women's issues and immigrant issues, there is no time for black people.

What you see in that video that the NRA released yesterday was a minute long clip and it was basically like he wasn't even calling the dog that hard that was as loud as a foghorn and they basically said you know you have people who He's marching for women's equality and against xenophobia and against homophobia and the only way to stand firm against him is to keep your fist clenched and then he says the NRA. So basically it was the saying: you have the right to bear arms against the people who are marching for justice in this country.

You have to look. It's just a minute I'm what an NRA is the new face of the KKK that's all it's the same organization if different acronyms that's fine but a lot of that comes from the hills of Falando Castilla Verde and I was actually in Minneapolis while the trial was going on and the verdict came the day after I left. I'm not surprised by the verdict. I was not surprised by the verdict because, again, all legal decisions are based on precedent, this not only goes back to Trayvon Martin, but Going back to Rodney King, the police have a culture of getting away with killing black people, but What made Falando's case even

more

egregious is the fact that he had his seat belt on, yes he did not fit the description of the person they were looking for, he had a four year old child in the officer's back seat.

He still shot the car seven times, it doesn't take seven bullets to stop someone and now he walked, what makes the situation even more criminal and more worrying for us is that the officer in question was Latino, why do I mention that? ? Because now we are moving away from the fact that white men can get away with killing black people. Soon it will be totally comfortable and acceptable for anyone in America to get away with killing black people. This is the purge. the return of unapologetic white racist power in America was based on that and one of the reasons we as African Americans continue to misunderstand a situation is that we keep trying to separate our problems from American history.

We will see what the Constitution guarantees. but the Constitution never included you and one thing we know about constitutional laws is that anything included in the Constitution or any law that does not reflect the intention of the founding fathers when they wrote the Constitution is automatically unconstitutional, you understand that From a racist point of view, the fact that blacks are considered citizens is unconstitutional, got worse when Thomas Jefferson, Alexander Hamilton and George Washington sat down to write that document. Were blacks ever intended to be citizens of the United States? And the question is not quite right.

Here's the thing, what? Is there any solution? Can we know all the problems? We know all the problems. Everyone woke up. What are black people doing in America? This is the situation until we hate racism more than we hate each other. Nothing will change. Look, our problem is totally. Mentally we are a billion dollar people we have all the degrees we need all the experience but you know what we lack that cultural commitment to ourselves we are the only group we don't have I said it almost feels like before we could fight the racism, we have to fight against self-

hatred

, yes, you will have to have a civil war because we, we don't necessarily support ourselves, you know, at all, we don't help each other, we are anti-African and many times when you know it's hard because it always seems like it's always a plan, it's always kind of like we don't trust, you guys trust each other at all, you know, and that's the problem, as you know, we can't form.

We cannot come together to fight racism or anyone else if we cannot trust our brother. you have two major issues that support exactly what you said. an identity crisis and psychological homelessness an identity crisis. Black people know they are not Americans but they will fight like hell to protect that identity because they don't want to be identified with who they really are and that is being African, we hate our African T. That is exactly when I created the unapologetic African movement. You see how quickly it became unapologetic. black, I never said unapologetically black, I said unapologetically African, but even within the Black Consciousness community we remain anti-African because deep in our subconscious we were all conditioned by the same superstructure that made us feel that Africa was not worth it claim, so blackness is one step away from whiteness Envy, true, but it's still ten steps away from your African illness, that's how you know when I was a child, I'm not going to say my parents, but you always know that when you leave the neighborhood you're doing it right. when you live with white people you do it exactly when you have a lawyer and your lawyer is white you do well when you have a weight counter you do well so your standard of excellence is outside your community and we are the only people who have a standard of excellence and an ideal to achieve it that was created by our oppressor.

My father always used to instill in me that you know black is beautiful. He would be hearing James Brown say it out loud. I'm black and I'm proud to be wearing the African medallions, the Malcolm It was business, my father could always see, that's why you can. I don't do business without, you know how I am, that's what would warm up my mindset when it comes to doing business, but when it comes to black pride, I always thought it's the same thing, you always have black pride, but when I got to business , it was like I had heard it a million times, that's why it can't be addressed, in other words, what the push is superficial, it's intellectual, but it's not

inter

nalized, for example, we had many great scholars, like my ancestor Frederick Douglas. -hmm, who knew the story of him still marrying white women?

How did that happen now? Yes, he was an old man. I grant him that his first wife, Anna Marie Douglas, a woman of blue, black and purple chocolate, would not be here 250 years, who she gave birth to all of her children. it was after his death that he married the white woman, but he still married a white woman, that Frederick Douglass did not marry a white woman, he would be indisputably, indisputably, the greatest black leader to ever walk on American soil. , but because of that mistake that he made, The question again is why did he do that, that's because guess what, no, you know what I think it was, uh, I think to some extent and I can say that he suffered from some Barack syndrome Obama web de bois and that's when sometimes, when you're a mix of mixed

racial

ancestry, which I don't even like to talk about because 300 years ago there was no bi

racial

or multiracial, if your father was white or your mother was white, he He was still African.

Look, this is something modern. the whole multicultural movement that you never had, that Frederick Douglass was never called biracial, they never called him multi ratio, they called him the n-word like the rest of us, there was no separation until the 20th century, when America realized that we can use black people against themselves. giving them a new set of identities that allows them to disidentify from each other and more appropriately identify with us, but what I mean is that the reason Frederic was able to do that is because deep down inside of himself he still could have screamed. for that validation, now you said mistake, people will get mad at you for saying he did something by marrying a white woman, sure, okay, why do you say it's a mistake?

Shouldn't he be the man we fall in love with? with no because

marriage

is a political decision who you marry tells me who you are well you marry a woman you simply marry her you marry her culture you marry her community you marry her people you understand so when a man black man marries a white woman, he is making several clear points in the messages he is sending to his own people because there is no greater symbol of loyalty to his struggle than marrying a sister who shares that love struggle versus Virginia and everyone needs to see the movie that just came out a few days ago.

A few months ago, in 1957, around that time, a white man named Loving from Virginia sued the Supreme Court for the right to marry a black woman. Until then, several states still had anti-miscegenation laws after they repealed anti-miscegenation law around the world. country 1957 or 67 somewhere in there, black men have married outside their race envy more than men of all other races in America combined as a percentage, how do you explain that love is purely blind? I don't agree, love is a function of your values ​​and your priorities. I would say that the reason black men marry white women is because they would like to be wives and have the white man's prize, his queen, is a psychological symbol for me that I am equal to him, so you can't fall in love with white women. and at the same time not feeling inferior to white men great love for politics love is the most political thing just like we try to separate religion do you feel that way?

If you get married it depends why it depends you know it depends on conscience because we You know what? Cuba and Puerto Rico were slave ports there for too long until the 19th century. The Garvey movement. The red, black and green Garvey movement of which I am a member. Do you know that Cuba was the best organized Garvey Island in the Caribbean? Yes, you had more episodes of the red, black and green in Cuba and in Puerto Rico than in almost any other island after love, black people don't know that Fidel Castro was a racist, oh yes, oh, he was a socialist and when they challenged him in racism and the cube because You know that the Caribbean has a deep-rooted color hierarchy when he was questioned about racism in Cuba.

You know what he said: we have racism and we will have to deal with it, but first we have to deal with socialism and capitalism, so he raised the issues of black oppression in Cuba is secondary to the socialist agenda remember Fidel Castro was Italian, no Fidel Castro was Cuban, he was not Cuban at all, he was a white man, he was not Cuban, I know, yes, why did he help so many African countries? It was politically necessary and inconvenient, remember that you do many things for diplomacy. I may not like Indy but guess why I need the support of this community to protect me because America is trying to take me out so if I can get black and black America.

Africa on my side I already have Russia, which isolates me even more when it comes to the United States trying to kill my image in the public eye. Cuba, even a black town to go there and be free. Go to medical school for free. Yes, a certain amount. Of them, Asada is there, we appreciate that Robert Williams went there, we certainly appreciate that, but we're not talking about giving opportunities to individuals, we're talking about systemic opportunities. The United States gave me six titles. The United States gave me a doctorate that I grew up with. My father was never in prison, but I am a black man.

The United States consistently allows that Castro helped many of our black revolutionaries, but that does not eliminate the fact that he was slow to address racism within his own cabinet and it was not until he was challenged by those same Charlamagne revolutionaries that he began to address racism. . Fidel Castro was Italian and I would say he was a white supremacist unless he meets me in Brooklyn today, tomorrow Friday night, yes sir, I will be a Brooklyn. I'm Brooklyn today, come to Brown Memorial Baptist Church 52 Gates Avenue. Doors open at 4. Powerful lecture at 6. Book signing to follow.

We will receive a lot of messages. You'll get a ton of emails and a ton of tweets. the youtube video dr. Ford la in Italian and this and that I'm like Fidel Castro's Natalia, he never claimed not to be, but that's what people don't realize when you know that brothers like you are coming, we're having a conversation, so I'm going to do it. the subsequent investigation so we don't believe that's what any conversation should be a band black socialists are going to get mad at my comment do you want to know why? Well, because we have an intellectual civil war within a Pan-Africanist community, you have Pan-African nationalists. which is what I am, that's the Garvey group, but there are also the pan-African socialists who would be more like Stokely Carmichael, who is a hero to me, but anyway he was a socialist as was Web Dubois, what's the difference between socialists in theReal and simple nationalist socialism arises from Marxism.

Well, the Communist Manifesto which says that racism was created by capitalists so they could get rich off of black people, in other words, so they could get paid, we came up with a bunch of lies about black people to justify their slavery. so if you get rid of capitalism and greed you eliminate racism we say it is total we can say you can get rid of capitalism all you want there is no capitalism in China but there is still racism Russia is not capitalist it is one of the most racist countries in the world earth, you can eliminate the economic system, envy all you want, but the social and psychological issue of racism will remain, why, because the primary function of racism is not greed, the primary function of racism is white genetic survival , you know, I just want to leave.

Back to something brief and I'm not married to a white woman so I don't take anything offensive, but what we see is the problem I have is this is what you know, a lot of black people live in the neighborhood, right, yes sir? I live in Hood I live in Queens Village my own school was PS 34 Andrew Jackson, the first school in the country for Andrew Jackson, it was one of the most important races to change their school names in Queens, the first school to have a high school, yeah, changing Michael Jackson's First School out of one whose album cover has soul, but most parents did it, they work really hard and try to put you in Catholic school, okay?

I'm in Catholic school now. I'm in a school with all Haitians because they were all Haitians from Queens Village, yes, yes, I can tell you all the Haitian curses there are, well, my God, in the food, poop, what all that, but then you know, in Paris , saving money got you into a Catholic school. The problem with high school is that there are probably seven people. seven black people in each class, well, compared to how many Haitians or whites know only seven black people, that's it, okay, everything, and I understand you, then, the people that you fall in love with and that you talked to necessarily NoBeing a black person is true, so is that at that age, it's 16 out of seventeen when you're dating you're not thinking, oh my god, I have to get a black person, you're thinking I like this person because he's nice to me, so you think, but at sixteen and seventeen your core values ​​about racial racism the position of your people in the American social structure has already been formed even the envy of white research says that at the age of four this comes from universities in the United States at the age of four a child in America, who only knows what race is okay, not thoroughly but superficially, they have a firm understanding of the race and also the level of respect and status that is accorded them gives to his race within the broader social structure.

This comes from the United States. Now you know. F so your child knows. that I'm black and that black people don't get respect a white kid knows I'm white and not people don't agree anymore because then you're going to have to explain the way the DAO study explains the way we can explain the DAO study Go and find 25 black girls and 25 white girls from schools here in New York City and give them the black dials, the same Kenneth Clark doll experiment that was done 60 years ago for the Brown versus Board decision and say which one is ugly. one is attractive and which one you would prefer to be, but think that that is conditioning: you are not going to instill that in your child, you will teach yourself if it is not necessary, society will do it, so you accept, society can brainwash you. kids better than you, are you kidding, we are living in the age of social media, this is the life of millennial kids, so you tell me well if my son, my black son, yeah, bring us home a girl white because how old is she now at all? he's 13 yeah not for nothing we live in a predominantly white area okay which is why better school system better education i got shot it's safer so if he brings home a white girl I should say, son, we had no conversation data. you should date a black person, your son let me tell you what you experience.

Envy the person who said you can do it. No, you have to be the person because you have to teach your son loyalty to his community. European Jews, do it like a Rabb Stuart, Chinese, do it easy. We are the only people who feel anxious and ambivalent about telling our black boys that it is better to love and marry a black woman and you know why we feel ambivalent because we have all been conditioned by church envy to be colorblind. We are constantly told over and over again that it is wrong to be for yourself before offering it to someone else and that is why Africans are last.

There is nothing wrong with being loyal to yourself and will that white woman ever understand your son's struggle. No, thanks. So why would you want to? that he spends the rest of his life with a woman who will never be able to understand how he feels when he is pulled over by the New York City Police Department. You need a woman who can feel you and the only woman on earth who can understand the black man is the black woman and that is why I cannot respect a black man who is not committed to a black woman, that is the greatest symbol of pride of oneself.

I agree with you, but I think the people you know fall in love with who they fall in love with, but they love. It's a function of priorities and values, yes, and you better never call her a white woman, you can't even look away now that we're on a topic, a family, there's a rumor that needs to be dispelled. I'm listening to black people. Going around saying slavery destroyed the black family nothing could be further from the truth slavery didn't destroy the black family do you know we were still marrying through slavery secretly jumping a broom even under punishment of death Did we get married during Reconstruction?

We got married during civil rights, when do you start to see the rise of the single parent black women's home in 1970 after dr. King, the United States government said we must neutralize the base of black power and they determined that the base of black power was the black family, it was independent, woman-skilled black men who financed King, financed Mr. garvey financed mr. Mohammed snick and core funded the Freedom Riders in a sit-in movement, so they said if we want to crush the black struggle, we have to crush the black family, so guess what they did in 1970.

King dies in the 68. In 1970 they entered in black. Communities in deindustrialized urban centers in the 1970s began closing factories. Remember that until the 50s and 60s you didn't need a college degree to get a decent job. Many of us have grandparents who worked in factories all their lives. better lives we are living now with 2 and 3 degrees they could work in their same neighborhood and they all worked for the factory good retirement pension benefits doctors started closing the factories in 1970 and then they went to the high schools and did what they started to deindustrialized in inner city high schools until 1970, you could graduate from almost any school in New York certified as a plumber certified as an electrician certified as a carpenter Auto body mason welder they took out all those programs these are the skills that pay the bills, gentlemen, while have a skill, they will always be able to feed their family, but if all they get are college degrees, they could end up in an unemployment line, why?

Because the skills we learn in college are not necessarily marketable to others. black people I'm a psychologist there aren't many black people running around looking for psychologists to reveal exactly all the skeletons in their closet so they started sending us to college instead of teaching us how to work with our hands, that was in the 70's it was the economic castration of the black man now let's go to 1980 the CIA comes in the cocaine import agency they leave crack so now the unemployed black man who has always been a breadwinner envies slavery even then we were always the breadwinner until 1970 now The crack arrives, you have a decision.

I can sell this crack and try to put some food on the table or I can smoke it to deal with the fact that I am no longer economically relevant to the black will and let's be clear about the decade of the The '70s were the decade in which it was made that the black man was economically irrelevant to the black woman. We are the only man in the United States that our peers earn and educate more. No other woman in America earns and educates more than her peers and this is not the problem for black women.

I want to make it clear that this was systematically done to make us irrelevant to our families. Then, in the 1990s, along came Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton's crime bill eliminates mandatory minimum wages. Bill Clinton's crime bill. Now all those unemployed black men who Caught us smoking crack or selling crack and now they send us to jail and then they also give us ADHD so we can dope the kids with the same medicine that sent the father to jail. In 2000, when George Bush was whistling with the faith-based initiative he found a loophole in federal law that allowed him to fund churches, so now mega churches and medium-sized churches in the black community of Charlamagne are being funded by the government, you think it's a coincidence.

I envy that he doesn't. I don't see any major churches involved in the rudeness movement. There are no major churches involved in the mass incarceration movement. There are no major churches involved in the police genocide. There are no major churches involved in poverty. Where is the black church in 2017 when it comes to black issues? They are missing in action because the government is paying them to stay out of the fight and that is why it is called a faith-based initiative. Their pastor is the new FBI agent. Truest Baptist Church. Brooklyn. NY. The doors open. F4, exit. all children are free our elders are free let's talk about rude relationships between men and women which you might want to touch on for a minute let's talk about the upcoming Frederick Douglass Marcus Garvey Academy which I'm still building at school and it's a school in South Carolina.

I just saw the day before yesterday that I could grab it. Okay, okay, yes, sir, so I'm going to tell you off. Here we have Brother Dr. Wesley Muhammad, over here, yes, sir, and he talked about "I don't want to misquote you," but he said that going to school to get a degree in Africana Studies is a waste of time and he said, " You know why spend that money? mm-hm when you can." just learn that stuff on your own said you shouldn't go to school spend eighty thousand dollars to get a degree in Africa yeah, which is a premise I've articulated several times well, I would largely agree with that because I'm one of the first to say that and that may be true because when you go to college, remembering my previous comment, I wouldn't send a kid to college in 2017 unless they can answer three questions where their parents can't ask number one, for example.

Envy has a little boy growing up number one. Did you raise your son with the discipline to end up at Hampton High with a Morehouse without you being in the same house with him? One of the biggest mistakes we make is not raising our children with discipline. the ability to do what needs to be done when it needs to be done, whether you like it or not, if you didn't raise that child with discipline, why would you invest $30,000 a year in a child that you know doesn't have the discipline to do it. Finish the second question: Your son is majoring in a subject that is economically relevant to society, so if he gets a PhD in African American Studies, I'm not against it, but he better have a plan for how he'll be able to use it. your degree to make a decent living so you can pay off all that student loan debt we've been racking up for the last four or five years and then, number three, how is your chosen profession going to benefit the black struggle of any kind? manner? the child or the parent has to answer those three questions for me because remember, gentlemen, we have over two million unemployed African Americans with master's degrees and doctorates in the United States right now in the soup kitchen.

I am receiving emails from lawyers. Envy dr. Johnson, I'm a lawyer and I can't find a job, a lawyer, a black lawyer and black lawyers are small compared to lawyers in other cultures, you know, that's when we as people should start employing, that's why What we need The banks know that's why we need to start a play. No, I'm just looking for other lawyers to help me, but we have to be confident and hopefully our lawyers can take care of it. WannaI mean, I have two African American lawyers, but no matter what. Yes, I have two of everything, I need one more, twice as many, your son has to make sure there are no mistakes, but sir, we have to start being an employer and that is why the bank has to bypass the church to be the most important institution in our community. black bank if you notice white communities the bank comes in and then before you know it they got to the school, the hospital, the supermarket, the manufacturing industry, the bank is the center of the white community, not the church in the black community, it is the church and why?

I have a problem with that it has nothing to do with religion it is politics the church takes from us but does not give back it is not an economic recycling engine we give the black church 14 million dollars every Sunday Charlamagne 14 million dollars Envy every Sunday yes They give the black church 14 million dollars nationally every Sunday, how do you explain those schools, how do you explain those jobs, how do you explain all the hospitals, that kind of money, black America is the most black nation richest in the world, there are only nations not mentioned above? us with the number 10 and all the other nations, none of them are black so we are the only African population that has the ability to save itself, we are all the ones we need but we choose not to thank you brother excellent Conversations, as always, are fine.

It's breakfast oh come on
