Dr. Umar Johnson Talks Opioid Crisis, Black Gay Men, Breakfast Club, FDMG School (Full Interview)

Mar 17, 2024
The first question I'm going to ask is correct, please explain the history of the IEP individual education program and how it is supposed to work in theory versus how it works in reality. Great question, so when we talk about the IEP individual education plan, we're talking. In the world of special education there are now three things that automatically go together when we deal with the IEP. It's a trinity, you can't have one without the others. They are the IEP, a learning disability classification, and special education, if you mention any of them. those the other two are automatically present special education is a program that gives the child an IEP because they have a learning disability without a learning disability there is no IEP if you have an IEP you are in special education they all go together.

I say this because sometimes I will hear parents say that my child has an IEP but is not in special education if he has an IEP he is in special education on paper the

school

is receiving money for his education he may not be assigned to a classroom of independent classes in which he can still be in a regular class but he is still a special education student they still get paid for him, okay, now special education comes to us 1975. public law 94-142 federal government education law for all disabled children the federal government is 75 said if a child has a disability they have the right to two things an education that is free and appropriate and they must receive that education in the least restrictive environment let's talk about the least restrictive environment what does that mean?

Let's go back to 1954. The United States Supreme Court prohibits segregation based on race in

school

20 years later we have special education special education is still segregated education. I want to be clear that special education is a form of segregated education, but you are not segregating by race, you are segregating by disability for its own good. we are going to take them from the regular class we will put him in a special class because it is for his own good we are going to take her from the regular class we will put him in a special class because he has a disability to read for his own good come on I will take you out of the regular class and I will put you in a special class because you have emotional disorders or are autistic.

You see how it works, so it's not race, it's disability. I would say that according to my analysis, you will not find this written in any federal document, but According to my analysis, special education was the resegregation of

black

children. Watch the timeline 54 The Supreme Court says schools must desegregate, but they actually don't, as 54 the Supreme Court has issued at least three additional decisions requiring schools to desegregate in never segregated yet why Because the Supreme Court is the judicial branch of the government, they are not the executive in other words, the Supreme Court can say whatever they want, but if the president does not execute it, if Congress does not legislate about it. nothing is happening and that is why right now, in 2022, our children are still segregated as much, if not more, than in 54.

So, 64 Dr. King, Civil Rights Act, the Civil Rights Act also contains educational amendments that talk about desegregation, the schools still don't They don't segregate 74. They're putting kids in white school districts. You have Boston, Massachusetts, the most racist and divisive school anti-segregation movement in the North and probably the entire country, so when the '70s came around and the whites beat up the

black

s. kids bombing buses threatening parents the federal government said wait a minute we in Vietnam are trying to make the world safe for democracy how do we look where we can't even guarantee black children the right to learn in a white class, that's when it's special? ed came special ed was a compromise between racist school districts and the FEDS the feds said listen we know you don't like black kids we don't like them either but you're making us look bad so this is who we are .
We're going to do, we're going to come up with a program where we're going to pay you to let the kids in, what you're going to do is let them into the school so it looks like we're desegregating. once they get into school, you can separate them all you want, as long as it looks like they're integrated, we're fine, so the school district said, "Well, what if we don't want them at all?" the federal government said : "if we don't want them." If you don't accept them, we will cut off any federal money you receive, but if you accept them, we will allow you to legally resegregate once you let them in, but you won't do it because of race. you go, we're going to give you some disabilities, we're going to give you a reading disability, we're going to give you a math disability, we're going to give you an emotional disorder, we're going to give you, uh, intellectual The use of disability makes the school psychologist evaluate them and label them and now you can separate them from white children forever, but what I also notice is that when children with IEPs are in schools, they are only in general classes and they are not learning. and it seems that they are not receiving the resources that they were promised to receive, have you experienced that not only I have experienced that I see it every day?
Here is the problem with special education, if children did not receive a specialized subsidy, there would be no special education, first of all, let's be clear about the only reason why New Jersey Philadelphia Maryland California Texas I don't care where you go, We can go to the American Islands, we can go to Saint Thomas and Saint Croix, the same schools are putting black children in special education because they want that money, let me give you a shout out, you are a principal in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, the seventies percent of their students qualify for free or reduced lunch, sixty percent come from single households, none of them are still reading. grade level, you know why they're not reading at grade level because your teachers aren't teaching them, you know the corresponding school didn't prepare them, so you have a choice: either you're going to take advantage of your degree, some money, and get those kids the help. extra that they need or you want to send them to the school psychologist if you send them to the school psychologist you will get a 100 increase in funding for that child special education students are worth twice as much as regular students So, for example, let's take Philadelphia.
I think Philadelphia School students probably get hypothetically about fifteen thousand dollars per student once they get into special education, that kid is worth almost 30 now 30. It's twice your money how many people you know if they had a chance to double his money he's not going to double it so stay with you he's the black director do you care about those kids? because if you care about your students you are going to have teachers teach them you are going to find the money in your budget to get them tutoring after school, keep in mind that you already receive Title One.
The money you already receive Title One. Title One funds come from the Lyndon Beige Johnson War on Poverty Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965. This money is intended for children in low-income schools to improve reading and math, which is the majority of black children and special education for reading and math, so if they are getting Title One money to address reading and math, why do all these kids end up with reading and math problems? in special education where they already give you money to help them, you know why the poor oversight of Title 1 spending and the greed.
I know I got the money from my degree one, but I'll use it for something else. I want this extra money for special education, that's what it's all about. greed and it's about neglect of black children and this is the most important thing: our parents, brother, this whole system of special led to prison, this whole special led to prison is held together by uneducated people, when I say uneducated , I am not referring to people without academic education. special education so that black parents do not understand that special education is not a solution. I don't blame them for that because the way they present it to you they present it to you in a way that makes you feel special, that's the best. thing that happened to black kids you will never be left behind again you will have extra time you will have extra time on your exams we are going to slow down the curriculum we will give you your own learning plan small group very quickly, right, that's what I noticed when I taught for Five years in the Philadelphia public schools, right, and with these accelerated kids, do they have to pass them or do they pass them so they don't have to show documentation for not giving?
They serve a big question: Do schools need to promote special education students? The problem is that the IEP determines what the child will learn while in special education, so who technically decides if that child is retained or promoted? Who is on the IEP? Team Four required people: the parent, the principal or his/her designee, the regular education teacher, and the special education teacher, these four people meet each year to make a new IEP. The IEP must be done annually because you advance through grades annually, so when you meet, you decide. as a team needs to repeat, that is not likely to happen in special education for three reasons legally, can they be retained?
Yes, a special education child can absolutely be retained. I've held them before but it's not likely to happen why three reasons number one. The IEP team's job is to monitor progress, so if this child has an IEP and he still can't read or hasn't progressed in reading to the point where you should consider retaining him, justify your work, where was he? progress monitor you have to justify your work how at the end of the year are we talking about retaining them when the purpose of the IEP is to push that is number one, number two when the state and the FEDS come to audit your books?
If they see too many special education kids being held back, it will let them know that you're not really helping them. Number three, the teacher who initially recommended him for special education, why did she want him tested in the first place? It wasn't for academics for the most part. the moment was for Behavior, so you mean to tell me that you're going to go back to the same teacher who put him in special education and tell him we're sorry, Mrs. Slovenberg, he's going to have to repeat third grade? Look at you like you're crazy the reason I put him in special ed is to get them out of my class and you're telling me I'll be stuck with him for another year that's why special ed kids rarely get held back and I think which is a problem, brother, because we have special education children who receive social promotion and who don't know anything, who go to school in states with a graduation test, if you live in a state that has a graduation test and you have been socially promoted throughout the process. special education when you get to grade 12 you have to take that test you barely know how to read you know what it does it automatically perpetuates the school to prison pipeline because you're going to drop out of school because you can't pass you don't get a diploma what's life going to be like for that special education child who was socially promoted from EI from the first grade when he first got his IEP to the 12th grade when he failed the graduation exam?
He doesn't have a diploma. He is on the street. drugs, weapons, the military won't even accept them if you can't get a GED and many of these brothers that we see on the corner selling drugs were special education children who are not academically prepared for life and ended up on the streets because they had no other choice. place to go after they failed the graduation exam and you made a great point and one more thing I want to add is that they are spiritually demoralized, they don't feel like they can achieve anything because they don't twist it.
The children sit there and know that they have done nothing, the cell has, year after year, yes, sir, and they know that they are allowed, they know that they are allowed to exist in an atmosphere of mediocrity, they know that they are not. they have to perform, they know they don't have to achieve and the biggest side effect of special education and that's why I always tell parents and I tell teachers to never tell your child that they have this disability before telling them. who has ADHD before you. tell her she has a reading disability before you tell her she has an intellectual disability she thinks she can do it, do you believe me they don't see any difference between them and the next student but the moment you tell them you have a reading disability you get upset emotionally, you just created a black a silly glass is a self-perpetuating prophecy that the child is now going to fulfill I was told I have a reading disability I don't have to try I don't have to study I don't have to do homework So for To me, the number one side effect of putting kids in special education who don't need it is low self-esteem, the low self-esteem that it creates at work and let's be clear, special education kids have one of the highest dropout rates.school, well, what are you waiting for?
No one believes in me, not even the teacher, and then once the other students at school find out that that's the special education class, it's over because they're going to be mad at me forever to the point where I don't . I don't even want to go to school because everyone knows I'm special, the whole system is meaningless, but the feds aren't going to touch it because they know that's the only thing that keeps some of these white schools going, it's the only thing that you have some of these white schools they still allow black kids to come if they stop giving to those white private schools, sorry, not white private because private schools don't get money for special education if they stop giving to these white public schools in the charter schools whites the prerogative of special education. educate and financially exploit these children there would be no desegregated schools in America the special education dollar is what keeps these schools desegregated why do schools allow disruptive students to take advantage of education?education of their peers year after year I don't think people realize that the loss of education disrupts the earning potential of other children and the earning potential of their future families.
I'm going to put on my psychology hat to answer this question. We could very easily replace a disruptive student with a disruptive student. a neglectful student, then to me the question is whether it is fair and ethical to separate the disruptive student from the regular student when this school may be partly responsible for the increase in that behavior in the first place, which led to that child being the way what they are and even if the school had nothing to do with it, let's say this is purely based on home life situations, since school is the only structured atmosphere this child will encounter, doesn't the school have a responsibility to address those problems that the child has?
This has especially happened when the federal government and state governments have made student behavior and emotional health somewhat the responsibility of schools. Also this is what I would say: it is almost impossible for a disruptive child to disrupt his class if he knows that you care about him. I have never seen a child disrupt class that had a personal relationship with the teacher when I train teachers on disruptive students. The first thing I tell you is that this child already assumes that you have an idea of ​​who they are because the last teacher already had an idea. who they are, the best thing you can do with a disruptive student is to treat him as if he were not disruptive, give him his respect, the second thing is to meet with him one on one, look him in the eyes, let him know that you care about him and let him know that he can come to you. at any time if you have a problem it's easy to be disruptive with a teacher who doesn't respect you when I know you care about me when I know you respect me when we have a personal condition all of you What I have to do is look at myself and I'm going to put myself back together in order whenever there is an interruption problem.
I know there is a disconnect between teacher and student and that is why I always tell teachers that a good teacher is like a good therapist. when I come to the office to meet with a client it doesn't matter how many degrees you have it doesn't matter how many years you've been doing therapy it doesn't matter if you went to Harvard or Yale can you connect with that person because if you can't connect with that person, your credentials and experience They don't mean anything, it's the same with an educator, you can't teach them unless they first know you care, make the connection first, a good teacher first.
Above all, you have to have a good relationship with the students you are teaching, no relationship, no learning, and that explains one of the main reasons why black children have difficulty in classrooms run by white people, because many Europeans , not all, but many Europeans address education. from a purely academic point of view I'm here to teach reading I'm not here to be your mother I'm not here to be your counselor I'm not here to be your friend that's okay if you're teaching at the university that's not okay if you're teaching to children because the three Rs of education are rigor, relevance and relationships, instruction must be rigorous, instruction must be relevant but, above all, the instructor must have a relationship with the student without relationship there is no learning, go to the Camden schools, go to Trenton, go to Newark, go to Philadelphia, go to Harrisburg, go to Pittsburgh, go to the New York boroughs.
I don't care where you go, whenever you see black children performing poorly academically, it's because the teachers have no vested interest in that child, if a child has a teacher who cares and a parent who doesn't, they will succeed. . If the child has a parent who cares and a teacher who doesn't, she will be successful. If she has a teacher and a parent who cares, it is guaranteed, but. If they don't have a teacher who doesn't care and a parent who doesn't care they are going to fail, that piece of the relationship is the missing ingredient and the reason it is never addressed is because of white female privilege that most teachers have.
They are white women in government They are not comfortable being pressured to build relationships They enter schools with the same emotionally distant attitude that correctional officers enter prisons with Please explain how China has strategically taken control of numerous African countries and Jamaica Without the use of military force, what will their long-term domination mean? Big question. I'll pause because it bothers me when I look at Africa and the Caribbean islands. I just returned from Aruba and later this year I will be going to the Martinique Carousel and back to Suriname in South America, but it bothers me when I look at the history of how we fought for Liberation followed by Independence in the Caribbean only to return that Independence to another race of people, so we fought for the freedom of the white man and now we are giving that freedom to the yellow man when I was in Jamaica 2015, I did a keynote presentation on the national heroes, uh, week, irie FM and Ocho Rios and Marcus Garvey They supported, yes, and they moved to Barucha in reality and while it was.
In Jamaica I heard all these rumors about the Chinese and I have been to Jamaica before and seen the Chinese, but in studying what they have done since my last visit, I was amazed and dismayed to find that they had done so much. In their attempts to control and influence the infrastructure of the Jamaican people, the Chinese built a road from Kingston, from one side of the island to the other side of the island, and in exchange for the roads they built, the Jamaican government, unless Since this has changed since then, it gave the Chinese government

full

control over the toll money that people using the Northwest or East-West Expressway will earn.
Why would you give a foreign power

full

monetary control of the tolls in China? this road that you know half of Jamaica will use? talking about millions of dollars of income they give to the yellow man just because he built the road, plus the Chinese are building one it's probably already finished, at that time they were building two schools and they were bringing Chinese educators to help the Jamaican people educate black children, they built the Children's Hospital, which is supposed to be largely staffed by Chinese, they also gave the Chinese complete control of all tourism on both sides of that highway that runs on one side of the island to the other.
They also told me that they gave the Chinese the right to drill and natural rainforests in Jamaica on the territory of Jamaica for Chinese exploitation, they had given them tax reductions and they also bought, if I'm not mistaken, the port, the main port From jamaica. right, they own the port, it is owned by the Chinese exactly if another race owns your port, that means they control what comes in, they control what goes out, what happens with the drugs, what happens with the weapons, what happens with the coveted one, you don't know what those people bring. and you want to tell me that the Chinese care so much about the Jamaican people that they are not going to educate our children or take care of their health.
The Chinese don't care about black people, go to China, go to China and see how they treat black people in China, so to me what I think is that the Jamaican government, like so many governments have done Africans, like many other Caribbean governments, have integrated financially with the Chinese, the Chinese have studied the way the white man has done. I practiced neocolonialism all over Africa and the Chinese have learned that these black leaders don't really care about their people, all they care about is their pockets, so I will do what the white man did, but I will do it once.
I'm going to offer you three million and I'm going to build your retirement home and I'm going to pay for all your children to go to school. the university in China. You follow what I'm saying and I'll give you a private army so the Chinese have basically become neocolonialists 2.0. They are out there doing things with the Europeans. Follow me and they give offers to the Caribbean and African leaders that they cannot refuse and guess what when they abdicate that loan that they give them because all of these are loans, they are not handouts, they are all loans when they abdicate the loan in that contract I have to give them big land concessions and large concessions of its economy.
There is an African country right now. Is it Uganda? There was an African country that defaulted on its loan to the Chinese and now they own their national airport. I don't remember who owned the airport. Now, because they couldn't pay as long as the Chinese know what they are doing, the problem we African people have is that we tend to think that anyone who is not white is our friend, no one is our friend, not the Arabs, not the Chinese, not even Latinos, except African Latinos who identify with us, not with the East Indies or with the Native Americans, we have no friends, but the blacks have been seduced into this multiculturalism that says that the brown man is your friend, the yellow man is your friend the red man is your friend no, they are not black, people don't have friends and my biggest fear about Chinese neocolonialism 2.0 my biggest fear about Chinese neocolonialism 2.0 is when the time for revolution comes because there will be a second revolution because you have To get rid of the Chinese you will have to fight 10 times harder when you fought to get the white man out in the '60s, in the '40s, in the '50s, it was a little easier because they don't have the numerical strength that the whites have. the man had to use other blacks in his armies to fight blacks because there are only 10 in the world, they don't have enough China is the most populated country on planet Earth, they have a billion people, not to mention their reserves around the world . planet, okay, don't get me wrong, Africans, we are two billion, we are the biggest, the problem is that most of us identify as something other than black, which reduces our numbers.
I am not African, I am multiracial. African I'm Latino I'm not African I'm Samoan you follow me so we are disintegrated based on these names this is the point I'm making because the Chinese have the technology because the Chinese have the manpower the war the second War for African Independence The second revolution for African Independence against Chinese neocolonialism 2.0 will be 10 times bloodier, 10 times longer and will require the sacrifice of 10 times more people that we will not be able to expel from Africa. and kick them out of the Caribbean as easily as we did the whites and the whites wasn't easy, it was an incredible war, so multiply it by a hundred and that's what we'll have to deal with with the Chinese.
The worst thing we are doing is giving them all this and it is being done through politicians, politicians are doing it, but here are three things that keep Africa enslaved by the Chinese and white men by virtue of their number one politicians in those of us who had been distracted. America, the Caribbean, Africa around the world, it is a pan-African problem, we have been distracted from development with democracy, everyone is focused on who to vote for, you are not looking at the conditions, what is going to change, whether he wins or win, because guess who. financing both the same people stealing your oil who finances the coup for them the same people stealing your gold who financing both for them the same people still in your co-10 you follow me so democracy is a joke they play on the Black people believe you can have a radical transformation without the Revolution, the reason the white man pushes democracy globally so strongly is that if there is ever a breakdown in the black man's confidence in democracy, the only alternative is Revolution, so that is democracy number one, it is a distraction from development number two when I travel especially to Africa, but it is true that in the Caribbean also black people are more concerned about their tribe being in control than about liberation from control foreign.
You are following me? I have seen it, so when the elections approach it is not about liberating. we of supremacywhite or Chinese imperialism is about: My people are going to be the president? Is someone from my tribe going to be the prime minister? And because they are more concerned about tribal imperialism than African independence, this democratic scheme that they apply to black people. It continues because we are so petty and so small in our thinking. I just want to make sure your people don't get the presidency. I'm not even looking at the big picture. The white man knows it.
The Chinese know this, so they come in. They exploit Fund both sides so it doesn't matter who wins they get all the resources and then the third problem, the third problem is that most African and Caribbean leaders are educated abroad, they go to Britain for their education , they go to France for their education, they go to Belgium. They come to America to receive education and what Dr. Carter G Woodson says about the poor education of the Negro, the college-educated Negro is rarely of any use to his race because the education he receives is an education that takes him away from identification with their people, so most of our African, Caribbean and American leaders are black, they have an African body, they have a European mind, so the white man and the yellow man control the black man through remote control by virtue of conscious control of the way everyone thinks. thought process of the African leader there are some exceptions but for most of them and the Caribbean the whole thought process is that of a white man, how can we free ourselves?
In the past I have heard you criticize athletes and entertainers for not standing up or speaking out on certain issues, do you feel that way? It is unfair to criticize an athlete or entertainer for being an activist because this is not fair to criticize an athlete or entertainer for not be an activist. It's not at all why Gregory was at one time the most prolific black comedian in this country. is still an activist Harry Belafonte, one of the most prolific black musicians, is still an activist, let's look at Muhammad Ali who gave his entire career as a protest against white supremacy trying to send him to fight yellow when white men are not Not even making America safe for black people, look at Colin Kaepernick on the knee he took, look at Kyrie's stance against the European Jewish community's repudiation of black athlete and black artist Aretha Franklin, we can go over the full list of black people who put themselves on the line when Angela Davis was arrested after George Jackson's execution during his prison riot Aretha Franklin said I'll bail her out I want her out Aretha Franklin the queen of soul says I'll bail her out the freedom of the most revolutionary black woman in America at that time the most persecuted and wanted we have always had a history of artists Jimmy Hendrix wanted to finance the Black Panther Party and as a result he was murdered let's look at Sam Cooke, who was a friend of Malcolm and Ali Jim Brown and Sam Cook said when Malcolm and King get together I'm going to fund the Sam Cook movement, the first major artist to own his own masters, so look at our history, it's full of black men and women using their platform as athletes . and an entertainer to speak out and actively fight against injustices against black people, so the question is not whether or not it is acceptable to criticize them, but the other way around, why does the black athlete of the 21st century get a pass where no other athlete does? have you received?
Hey, drum, I have to throw something out before we continue. It was a different ecosystem during the time when there was a different level of uh, collective mental framework and also the whole social and political environment was different, so that type of bread, that type of energy that has not existed in this time, so we're looking for expectations for someone at that time and at this time and that's why I said it's like I'm feeling the sensation continue. I'm a push back using me. I have six degrees. doctor, the best-known black school psychologist of all time.
You could go into the system and be a millionaire diagnosing ADHD and learning disabilities. Would it be acceptable if we could do that just because the context I exist in is a very coonish anti-African context, you understand? So for me, I don't think expectations change, but expectations stay constant, so when I look at my political work I don't compare myself to Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton because that's not much. I compare myself to my ancestors. I am comparing myself directly to Garvey, how am I comparing myself not in a competitive way but in a way to fulfill his job?
I'm looking at Frederick Douglass, how am I comparing myself? I don't compare myself to the president of the NAACP. because that bar is too low, so I don't expect anything different from myself than what was expected from those ancestors, why does our behavior change just because the level of consciousness changes? Okay, I want to give two examples just before we continue, say Bob Marley fans. Okay, Bob Marley was around, so the old Rastafarians tell you that he was exposed to French and all that kind of yourself. I don't know, these people chill with rappers. You understand what I say as if they were in a different environment. so they're not understanding that, so are you arguing that black artists and celebrities represent a black aristocracy that should be free of accountability?
No, it is not the sense of being free of responsibility. I think the expectation is wrong. I think you should look for other real leaders instead of no, no, when you're at war, everyone plays their position. When you're at war, everyone plays their position. I don't think they see themselves as a war in a war because they feel comfortable. but they definitely understand what black people are going through, they saw what Kanye saw, what Kyrie saw with Cosby, they see that at the end of the day we don't see you any different than everyone else, they know the problem is that money has made them feel so comfortable and so afraid that they don't want to go out the real problem is not the fact that they are a celebrity the real problem is that they were raised by black parents in a black community that did not value the freedom in black masculinity because at the end of the day my brother put activism aside, we are talking about black masculinity, are you a man?
It's the same thing when people say, well, hey, doctor, you know you said Barack Obama didn't do anything for black people, that's true, but what could he do at the end of the day? He could have talked about what we were going through as president of the United States. I can't blame him for not being able to make all the changes that need to be struggled with. a congress but you didn't even talk about what the hell I'm going through you follow what I tell you you're a man because here's my thing if an athlete if a footballer if a rapper is going to tell me where I am and who I am I can't fight, never the more they will call you a man again because a man does not become a man by his circumstances, a man becomes a man by what is inside him, so if you do not have the guts and courage to speak up and fight for black people.
I don't care who you are, they will never call you a man because the definition of a man is consistent in your defense and protection of your community and if you feel you have no obligation to defend and protect your community because of your money and your professional you are not a man politically you have been emasculated so they have to make a decision well please explain the difference in wording empathy and resources When distributed between the

opioid

epidemic and the crack epidemic, one of the greatest examples of racism and differential treatment of black people in This country in modern times can be seen in the contrast between the way the federal government and state and local governments dealt with the crack epidemic compared to the

opioid

crisis

.
Crack addicts were not treated as a population with mental illness the crack epidemic was not treated as a public health

crisis

the crack epidemic was treated as a crime crisis and a need for greater criminal justice oversight the black community, more police, more arrests, more prisons, very little attention to treatment and rehabilitation, the crack crisis increased prisons, not because black people sold drugs, but rather because black people consumed the drug, there are many more users than sellers and because if you were caught in possession, the police arrested you based on possession so you would go to jail for the intent to self-medicate when you should have gone to a mental health hospital or a treatment center, that's what blew up the prisons during the crack epidemic because they imprisoned to mentally ill addicts, fast forward to this century and we see an opioid crisis like none I have ever seen in my life as I drive through Frankfurt and I think Frankfurt and Kensington may have the worst. opioid strip in America Zombieland drug use in the open with the police sitting there watching them, you would never in your life have seen a crack sale in front of a police officer, but you will see white, poor, white people, buy, sell and uses crack, excuse me, opioids. and outdoors in front of the police and nothing is done.
It is being treated as a public health crisis. It is being treated as a mental health emergency. It is being treated as a medical epidemic of serious proportions. These people are receiving treatment. They are receiving treatment. aside from money, they get social work, they get free rehab, they get hospitalization, they don't go to jail, they deliberately protect white opioid addicts from incarceration, unlike what they did with black people, even if they look at marijuana , marijuana is one of the best. contradictions in modern times because you have 50 years of black men incarcerated for possession and intent to distribute marijuana, now you have white men making millions and billions of dollars from the cannabis industry, wait a minute, you destroyed 50 years of black families for the wheat.
You destroyed 50 years of black families over marijuana and now, in one fell swoop, it has become a multi-billion dollar industry for the white man. Look at the hypocrisy there and it's interesting because when we talk about reparations, anyone who is unjustly imprisoned and In my opinion, if you were imprisoned for something that is now acceptable, you are unjustly imprisoned. Reparations are owed to all those black men and women who themselves and their families were destroyed as a result of unjust incarceration. The United States wants to eliminate Africans and is using every strategy at its disposal to do so and when we look at drugs, chemical warfare was introduced into the black community by the CIA with crack cocaine in the 1980s to prevent another social reform movement. like the Black Panther Party or the Civil Rights era, the reason you understand The Crack in the '80s is because they shut the door on the Panthers in the mid-'70s and wanted to make sure the black community could never come back. to unite for their own Liberation and that was when they stopped the chemical warfare that they were actually given.
We, chemical and biological, gave us AIDS and gave us crack. We have never recovered as a community from the AIDS epidemic to a crack epidemic and Dr. Umar, I want to hear you talk about this other thing of disruption, the time of violence. crimes against drug crimes. I have noticed that violent criminals are returned to the community to be very disruptive. Do you think that's the strategy or is it just something that happens well? I would say that white violent criminals are released into the black community. They too, but they serve their time, uh, they serve their time like I'm meeting black people who have served five and ten years for petty theft, for petty theft, so for me, I think when it comes to black people , regardless of the crime.
They're going to force you to comply, but what I think is so unfair is the disproportionality between nonviolent drug crimes and everything else? I agree that a sexually violent or other predator should definitely get more time than a non-violent drug. felon, but the most time served by blacks has been for non-violent drug crimes and that is because criminology is a function of government intent; In other words, you can sell all the drugs you want there. I'm selling a little. a little bit of wheat, but if the government says we target and then you can get away with what you're doing all day, for example, the federal government has never focused on high-level white drug traffickers, it has never focused on high-level white drug traffickers. they can target high level Mexicans they could target high level Colombians uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh uh Colombians have never targeted high level white drug traffickers because they know who brings the drugs they need Drugs in America Drugs are necessary for the American economy to operate because many of its Fortune 500 companies smuggle drug money to support the value of these stocks.
What is the only thing that everyone does not all? What is the one thing that people who use it need every day? several times a day they need it if it is raining they need it if it is asnow storm they need it if it's a hurricane they need it if they are employed if they are unemployed they need it on the weekend during the week there is only one thing because remember capitalism works according to supply and demand there has to be a demand, what is only one that is always in demand, regardless of war?
Health Covey crime crack opioids heroin opium drugs are the only product on planet Earth that can be sold at any time to a ready audience, you don't need a car every day, you don't need a laptop every day, you don't need a phone cell phone every day, the only thing you need all day, every day, even through the night, are drugs and that's why America will never be able to free you. herself on drugs because the banking industry depends on her they channel the CR the money the insurance companies channel it to your 401K the retirement pensions they all use money from drug trafficking to support the value of their actions without the drug economy The American economy would collapse.
Do you think that drug dependence in the United States is a reflection that the United States is a sick society, as my bridge and my beers would say? I would say that even if America wasn't a sick society, I think she would still rely on drugs because I think most modern governments are China, Britain. I don't think you can find a government in the so-called first world that does not depend to some degree, excuse me, on the drug economy, it is too important, it needs that money to operate its economy. Nothing else guarantees selling as much as drugs.
Oh, I thought you wanted to rephrase the question when I said six aside. I'm interested in the mental health of the Society of ah yes, I think that American society in Western culture in general is a very unhealthy, narcissistic and unhealthy reality and I think that technocracy and the illusion of democracy have convinced people of that we live in a civilization because we have technological sophistication and the right to vote. You cannot call it a civilized society when people enter the supermarket and without wanting to kill enter a school and shoot 20 30 children at a time go to the subway detonate a bomb kill the mother of their child kill all their children take their own lives That is not a healthy society but because capitalism controls the collective consciousness of the United States, we believe that if you are able to buy, sell, expensive things, that automatically means that you are a healthy people.
America is like a rotten cake with the most expensive frosting in the world put on it and you don't know it until later. You have consumed too much of the cake. You understand that this was sick all along, but you were distracted by the appearance of things and not the reality of things. In my definition, the United States could not qualify as a civilization, it could qualify as one. technocracy, a society governed by computers, technology and technological advances is not a civilization, for it to be a civilization you must have the perfection of the art of being civilized when you look at the number of black people that are murdered, disenfranchised in this country.
How can you call it civilization? I just saw the other day how President Biden has made it legal for Ukrainian immigrants to get SSI checks. So, if you are a Ukrainian refugee in the United States, you can apply for SSI. Help me understand that because we have the highest level. Homeless black population since the 1960s, there are black people living on the streets because they can't find work and they can't get any subsidies, but you will bring immigrants, they didn't build this country, they don't pay taxes, no. I don't have a job that never pays into Social Security, but they will get Social Security benefits that you take away from black people and give to white immigrants, if that isn't the biggest example of white privilege in this decade, I don't know what is. .
It is not a civilization to neglect those who built the country and give its resources to the whites of another land. It is one of the greatest examples of racism and discrimination, prejudices of disproportionality that I have seen in my life and at the same time you are sending the Haitians. Haitians can get on the boat and go home, but Ukrainians can come and get free housing, free health insurance, and an SSI check, but at the same time white people tell black people to stop receiving welfare, what Are they going to tell the Ukrainians? out of welfare and irony and sending Haitians back why America is the size it is the Haitian revolution bankrupted Napoleon's France had to sell for pennies on the dollar the Louisiana Purchase that tripled the size of the United States America is the size it is because of the Haitian people, but you send them home and the Ukrainians who never did anything for you, they will receive black reparation money in 2022. 69 of the people who died by suicide were white men, Please explain why white male suicides have skyrocketed and they haven't. one is talking about that, a great question that I learned while studying psychology and graduate school that white men have consistently had the highest rate of suicide in this country.
Rich, middle-aged white men lead the country in suicide. Older black women have the lowest risk of suicide. I would do it. They argue because of this spiritual foundation black people are a spiritual people black women are the epitome of spirituality because she is the first human being that God created to send life through him so I believe it is our spirituality despite the slavery despite reconstruction despite Willie Lynch despite Jim Crow despite civil rights despite black power despite the crack despite Obama's negligence despite Joe Biden's hypocrisy our faith as a people has isolated from the idea of ​​taking our lives as a result of not being able to cope with one's own emotional pain without disrespecting the European Community, they may also be religious, but they do not have the spiritual strength or the foundation of the original man in the original woman .
I believe that Europeans are at a significant disadvantage when it comes to establishing a relationship with the Supreme Consciousness because, first of all, their culture is not rooted. in relation to God, they come from a very objective and very Eurocentric scientific approach to reality that says that if I can't see it, if I can't measure it, if I can't manipulate it, if I can't control it, it must not exist so if we look at white psychology white psychology does not even admit the existence of the spirit Sigmund Freud although the father of European psychology was the one who came closest to establishing the belief that there is a spirit that lives within man but he was rejected when the Behavioral Revolution came and they said that he was basically a heretic for dealing with concepts that had no scientific basis so white psychology does not admit the existence of spirit so here is the question if a white man is suicidal and white psychology does not admit. the existence of the spirit when he comes to treatment to deal with his suicide and if there is indeed a soul within us, how is he going to overcome the emotional pain he suffers if the therapist working with him won't even admit it? there is something bigger that is motivating his life from within him with black people when we go to therapy we tell therapists that we have a spirit, it is not a question that should be debated, we have a spirit, so therapy is about reconnecting you with that white Essence.
Psychology doesn't even admit that it exists, so if you are a white person suffering from trauma and you didn't grow up in a home or community with a strong religious or spiritual foundation, what intervention can be done to make that type of person stop? to do it? prevent them from making the maximum error. I think it's the materialistic nature of European society, the anti-spiritual nature of European society, the narcissistic nature of European society that measures success by material growth that makes all these white men and girls judge the success of their lives. based on what they own and what they own is a recipe for death and destruction and we also see a similar parallel with Chinese college age students who, if they don't get accepted to Harvard, to Yale, to Princeton, to some of these elite universities, they take their life because they feel like they failed the family because after all, my mother and father sacrificed their entire lives to put me in this position and I didn't score high enough on the exam, so, If you're dealing with now, Asians have a pretty strong spiritual foundation, but in the modern world, in their quest to conquer the Europeans, I think they have become as materialistic as the Europeans and as a result, their mental health has decreased so much, even if you recently look at a couple of these recent ones.
The mass shootings have been against Asians, you understand, and to that extent the white man and the yellow man are forming a coalition at least on this soil to combat the black man. 89 percent of interracial marriages that have taken place in the last decade have been white to Asian Asians are the group that the white power structure has adopted as probationary targets to increase their numbers and push back blacks. I'm glad you talked about materialism because my follow up question was that I think white men struggle because of the subsidies that their ancestors received specifically the GI Bill and even an increase in housing and even nepotism to some extent because I think that nepotism has decreased enormously in the United States because everything is short-term, everything moves so much that you are not.
They will be in a job for 30 years, I think because of those factors they are not meeting their family's standard and can't deal with it. That's a great point. Three things come with your number one comment. Is there an ancient curse against Europeans in America that you follow when I look at that type of suicide when I look at the type of mental illness that I see against Europeans in general when I look at medical problems? Do not misunderstand. I have them too, but many of our medical problems are induced by the society we live in due to poor diet and poor medical care.
They don't have to worry about it, but they are still suffering. Look at the decrease in their numbers. White people have been doing everything they can as a government to reduce the number of blacks in this country since at least the 1970s. AIDS, uh, poor nutrition, black on black, criminal police, genocide exactly, but still half of The states have a target, a zero. birth rate more white people die than are born in 25 states while you do everything you can to get rid of blacks. I think there might be an ancestral curse because of slavery, but black people aren't comfortable with that.
I am very careful when I mention things of a spiritual nature because as a race of people we are always looking for an excuse to do nothing and that is one of my problems with the black church. The black church gives us some very intelligent things. excuses to sit around and do nothing we have to be agents of change we can't sit around waiting for a spiritual and cosmological intervention because no person who has ever been liberated was liberated because the angels came and fought for them you see black people have done it. To ensure that we live in this reality, although we can be inspired by what is happening in the spiritual side of reality, we can make our decisions based on that, we have to make our decisions based on the real world that we live in and any interventions that we let's do.
We will get it from the ancestors, from God or from the spirits, let it come when it comes, but you can't make decisions based on that. Please explain how Bacon's Rebellion rightly shaped race relations in America and why you say he is America's number one. The business is absolutely racist when we look at Bacon's Rebellion, we are seeing the union of whites and blacks against their common oppressive right, so obviously early in the history of this country the white power structure saw that we cannot allow the Poor whites line up. themselves with the poor blacks because now you have an army of mutual consent that we have to crush, but I would also say that the whites who participated in the Bakers' Rebellion still did not consider blacks as their equals, they were simply using their numerical strength of very similar way the Democratic Party does it today to achieve a victory against its white brother, so I don't think it was a truly egalitarian race revolt.
I think it was a revolt of necessity and opportunity, the reason I say racism is America's number one business because number one, the country was founded, forged to maintain and expand on the principles of black oppression. America is rooted in the need to oppress black people. Its economy grew around slavery, which was the exploitation of black labor and life, so you can never find a period in the United States where racism was not a major concept in its political, economic, or social structure. That being said, we have to look at the money they makethe blacks and whites America gains through black oppression, look at the billions the criminal justice system makes. the billions that poor health care makes, look at the billions that are made in jobs for the police fire department, a social work, I mean, absolutely black failure and black oppression is one of the businesses biggest that this country has.
I remember I was watching the movie with uh Denzel Washington what was the daytime gangster movie no no with Russell Crowe and Denzel Denzel was playing the life story of the New York gangster Hook vs. American Gangster there's a scene there where Russell Crowe the police says guess what this country is I never want to give up drugs he said a lot of people are getting paid for this he said look at the police look look look look at all the people who make money off of black people being locked up right uh a police station calls on the phone clothes socks black people being in prison is too big an economic stimulus for America to eliminate, so in the beginning it was slavery, today it's incarceration, we can look at foster homes, look at the number of white people that can live a comfortable life. life in the suburbs without a job simply for being a foster parent to mentally diagnose black children with mental illnesses may not happen to them, but they are walking around convicted with ADHD, ordering behavioral disorders, psychotic schizophrenics, etc., they are being given what than 2,500 per child in some cases fifteen hundred dollars per child, then you see these white couples who have three or four adopted black children paying all their bills living nice and comfortable in the suburbs look at the non-profit corporations, everyone from the Service Social and non-profit organizations. profits ain't nothing but a black hustle, you get a white hustle, excuse me, you got all these white people in the black community, what are you doing right?
I'm making money, uh, taking care of homeless black people. I'm making money taking care of black people. addicts I'm making money taking care of black teen pregnancies I'm making money taking care of black ex-felons you're not solving any problems you're just putting band aids on problems you're following me poverty pimp white people are known for it. I can remember when I worked in the Philadelphia school district. I can't even count how many different white people approached me asking if they could use my paper credentials to get this grant. Get this grant and they will tell you straight up that we can give you fifty thousand dollars.
Let us use your name. Say you're going to be part of this program. Fifty thousand now white people are making millions of dollars. Poverty pimping of black people's problems. racism is still the number one business in america win elections protect the white community leads to gentrification police genocide show me a problem in this society that is not influenced by race and racism specific races anti-black uh next one question I want To ask well, I think it's The Breakfast Club

interview

or another one that you mentioned, that black people need to take control of black music and specifically, from an economic point of view, the question I had was: you think black people took control of black music with the change in content and with black people's taste in music changing.
I would say that if we were to take control of black music, obviously, we would have to have a Central Committee that would oversee that control and I would expect the Central Committee that oversees the control of black music, one of their first orders of business If it were a transformation and content, they would have to have a massive conference with all the black artists and say that this is over and we are done with this, no more sexual exploitation of black women, no more promotion of the conspicuous consumption of white consumer goods, no more glamor of murder and imprisonment, change your content and guess what they would make so much money because now gangster rap is illegal. everyone has to go back to party rap, everyone has to go back to conscious rap, in other words since it's the only thing available to you we will consume it, the only reason we become gangster rap is because after the NWA hit, Platinum with no radio play, all the bros in the neighborhood say I could sell a million records and not even get any radio play, they all went Gangsta 'cause that was the opportunity they saw, they saw the radio, uh , they saw the Music Company control the NWA radio stations break through, so everyone became gangsters and then the white power structure said, "You know how this gangster thing can work because this goes against the intention of hip-hop music, which was to be a weapon for the oppressed.
Hip-hop comes right at the end of the Black Panther Movement. I don't think it's a coincidence that you continue. I was supposed to continue that Consciousness, but once NWA changed the game, everyone went left in the white power structure, they would only fund artists who continued. to glamorize the same problems that destroy families and lead to mass incarceration and now there are artists who fear returning to Consciousness because they think it can lead to a drop in income, a drop in sales and many of them, as you hear them say. music companies tell us we don't want any conscious rap, keep talking, the bigger the message that should drive many of our brothers and sisters, teenagers and older men struggle with reading correctly, they don't function literate, do they?
What advice would you give to anyone listening right now who might be embarrassed to get over the shame first, but what tactic would you use to start learning to read like a teenager or an adult? Two things right off the bat, especially if you live in a big city, but even a small one, almost every community college in the country offers a GED prep program where you learn to read, so that's number one, Contact your local community college, number two, most public school districts offer reading programs and GED prep programs for dropouts. They are now beyond the age of a high school student, where they will also teach you to read school districts and community colleges, that's what they need to check.
I have heard on numerous occasions that you criticize interracial marriage specifically for economic purposes. I know. There are other issues regarding mixed race children that I won't focus on economics, but I think in the future, by default, specifically black women will have to marry outside of the race and I just want to tell you one, okay , based on Numbers, I'm pretty sure you know that it starts even around 18 and starts to taper off around 30, it gets out of control where we are, say, seven to ten, six to ten, but when you have into account the homosexuals of the unemployed employees.
We could argue that the number of people who stay at home is probably four to ten, so with those kinds of numbers of incarceration plus incarceration and with those kinds of numbers, don't you think it's a reality that women will eventually seek out other races and four men, even if I don't approve, but it seems like a realistic approach because there aren't enough men and I want to go against the police. I know you will make sure polygamy is right, but the only reason polygamy is because of the income of many. of black men I don't know if there will be enough black men earning enough to take care of numerous women unless you read Define polygamy where the women take care of the men and in some strange way, but I wonder if we wish you a good The question is: Do black women have to consider dating outside the race since there aren't enough men available for them and the ones that are available want a woman outside the race?
I would still be against it. I would say that the black woman can go North. Canada and get the black man from her, she can go south to Central America, more than enough black men there, more than enough black men in South America, more than enough black men in the Caribbean. I think she needs to broaden her horizons, but I don't. I think she has to go outside of her race and honestly I think it would be advantageous for her to do so and the reason I say this is because in America we have had the economic emasculation of the black man where women have been put in charge. . of community leadership and has been that way for at least 50 years.
We've created a culture where it's okay for black men to not be masculine and not to be leaders, so if the black woman is looking for that traditional black masculinity, she will do it. You will definitely find that in Africa, where black men dress subject to that white castration system, you will find it in South America, you will find it in the Caribbean, because these are communities where black men are raised and taught how to live on the land, how to build a house with your own hands how to be a provider for your family, they still have that original uh uh Killer Instinct, not murderous in terms of killing someone's life, but that life or death for my family mentality that many Of us in the United States we don't have it.
It is not like this. I believe that not only the black woman should look for a husband outside the geographical borders of the United States. I think she would like to do it. I know sisters who have married African men, some of whom I never thought would look at them, weren't attracted to them and said that when I gave myself the chance, I actually liked him more than the brothers because I was so willing to be everything I wanted. wanted in a man. I'm not downplaying brothers in the United States because we have alphas and we have brothers who still imbue that Black Male Spirit, but if we're going to be honest, it's probably lower here than other places because of that castration process we went through. along with the others. other problems that the white power structure has introduced into the community now, to me, polygyny needs to be considered, it doesn't have to be total for everyone and it doesn't have to last forever.
I can see a situation where some men may have more than one woman and that this plural relationship system that we turn to in the black community will only last as long as it takes once there is a situation where the brothers get back on their feet and Do what you have to do, stop killing each other. stop getting killed stop going to prison because we have jobs in an economy for them so maybe you can quit. I don't see it as perpetual. I see it as something that should be for the moment, since we need it, it can be. the next 20 40 years follow me, but I don't think it has to be perpetual, but here's the problem, we already have polygamy, very few men, whether in Africa, if you listen, whether they are black, white or yellow, but, for Of course, we are talking. about us there are very few men who do not have more than one woman, follow me, polygamy, excuse me, monogamy is a myth, it does not exist anyway, the problem is that most men are not honest with their women and make them knowing that you are not the only one, so it keeps this Cinderella idea in the black woman's mind that now I can have a man all to myself, in theory that's good, but you have to look at your circumstances.
I'm not saying a woman should want to share. her man, I would never want to share my wife, but when you look at the community and what's best for black people, when you look at all these children without parents, when you look at these women who are on the lower end of the social economic scale with seven or eight children that they can barely raise, how can we not consider putting a healthy, married man in that house to stabilize that system and provide parenting for those children if we care about the future of black children, if we really care about the future of black children, how do we not address the fact that 70 of them are being raised by single mothers?
There seems to be a huge elephant in the room regarding the black community thing called right to abuse or denial about it. I don't want to admit it at all. I have been in the mental health field since I was 18, when I started my degree. I started working with children, that's 30 years in 30 years. 99.9 percent of every gay black man I ever met. Every lesbian black woman. I knew some exceptions. 99 of them were sexually abused as children and 99 of them were sexually abused before the age of 12. I could almost predict it. I did my predoctoral internship in Trenton, New Jersey.
I worked with child sexual predators. I didn't meet any of these predators that weren't victims of predatory behavior that you follow, you see the R Kelly situation, what do we know about his history? He was abused and he sexually abused his father, so it's a vicious cycle, why don't we hear more about it? Do you know why? contradicts the lgbtq agenda remember now lgbtq is based on a foundation that says that this lifestyle is normal and healthy, that means that if you connect this style oflife with childhood pathology, can your lifestyle still be considered normal and healthy?
Let's go back to the American Psychiatric Association. when they removed homosexuality from the DSM this was in the early 70's if you read the position paper it's on the internet we have no evidence that people are born gay they say so we didn't do this because we found scientific evidence that people We were born this way, we did it because its activists have been fighting long enough to normalize this behavior. It was due to political pressure from homosexual activists. It had nothing to do with scientific evidence, even now the American Psychological Association tells you there is no evidence. that people are born this way, you follow what I'm saying politically, the reason why the government pushed for lgbtq because remember that the Stonewall riots that gave rise to the gay revolution in New York City took place a few years, in '69, King was assassinated in '68.
Stonewall '69 the government did not wait to eclipse the Black Agenda with another agenda and the beauty of putting the indicator in front: you do two things, you not only crush the Black Agenda, but you You recruit gay blacks into the white LGBT movement, so it seemed. as if black people's needs are still taken care of but only in the gay face and number three since most gays are white by making homosexuality a minority issue all you are doing is taking money from this man This white man's homosexuality is the biggest scam pulled by the power structure because it has privileged white people who falsely pose as a minority group and are disenfranchised, but Is there anything realistic that can be done to minimize sexual abuse?
Because man, it's like, these kids were destroyed. and they seem to find it difficult to recover. Oh, it is very difficult for them to recover, but here is why they cannot recover. The time between trauma and treatment can be 40 years if you were sexually abused at age eight and I'm going to see a therapist for the first time at age 48. You see what I'm saying, the core beliefs that trauma gave origin in your consciousness, how are we going to get them out? You've been operating them for 40 years. We can get them out, but it could take 40 years to get rid of them.
Follow me, so one of the problems is the time between the trauma and the treatment, if we get them back right after they were touched or we could save them all, but if not. I won't get them until 20 or 30 years after they've been abused, you can still save them, but it's going to be a lot harder. The other problem is uh, uh, what I want to call it, um, I want to call it, uh, society. Silence sexual abusers are expected to remain silent and the perpetrators can almost guarantee that they will because if I tell my mother that my stepfather touched me, she has to divorce her.
I don't know if my mother will ever find a man she loves so you follow me so I'm going to put up with this for the sake of my happy mom you see how it works I don't want to tell my father his brother touched me his brother my father and his brother They are best friends who will kill him and probably kill him. I can't afford for my dad to go see that, so the kids always keep it inside to protect the innocence of the adults who know they will be forever affected by it, so how do they do it? you stop a child from doing what they believe is right for their parents, but if we take it a step further, the number one risk factor for someone becoming a child sexual abuser is having been abused themselves, you know which one It is the second risk, emotional abuse and abandonment.
I'll tell you what I learned in my predoc. I learned that when a child is emotionally abused and abandoned, he has no body, he needs someone for a while, he uses his toys, but the toys can't respond, can't Huff? I don't get love back, so guess what if I'm used to being abused and abandoned, right? No one has really spent time with me. My mother is also involved in a career. My father has become her new wife. I need someone to love me like me. I love them well, so my victim has to be someone who can't reject my advances.
I can't afford any more rejection. I can't afford any more abandonment. So I have to find a victim who can reciprocate but is totally submissive. my control that's why the 12 year old stays with the five year old that's why the 15 year old stays with the eight year old because they're too young to say no, they're too young to go say they're too young people to resist bullying and that is why child sexual abusestarts in childhood I had a debate with a brother whom I respect, he is a nationalist like me, but we disagree about homosexuality and child sexual abuse, we both do not We agree, right, but how we should handle it is where we don't agree, he feels like we should kill everyone. homosexuals and kill all sexual predators and my response to him was simply this: most homosexuals start out as children most child sex predators start out as children are you telling me you're perfectly fine?
We're going to kill 11 year olds the minute you find out. that he touched his five year old sister, are you perfectly okay with killing 10 year olds once you find out he's thinking about a same sex relationship? It's not about killing children, it's about curing children, so although we both don't agree with homosexuality in pedophilia, we don't agree on the solution. He says kill them all, I say that's not a solution, not just because of the murder. But guess what, if he's already touching his sister, what does that mean? We've already failed him. If that boy is already having thoughts of being gay, we've already failed him.
So for me, the best prevention is, excuse me. The best intervention is prevention, making sure that the children. black people receive the love, care and protection they need as children now I'm going to repeat this to our conversation about polygamy if we know that homosexuals and pedophiles are born from a dysfunctional and emotionally unavailable family environment and that seventy percent of black children are raised by a single mother who does the best she can and works multiple jobs to take care of her children, if not If we don't put a black man in those houses, there may be things happening in that house that give him to Roz pedophilia and homosexuality later in life, so if we are really trying to stop the rise of gay black men and if we are really trying to stop it. the rise of pedophilia in the black family, how do we not give those women how do we not allow those women to participate in a plural marriage family?
What do we hate? More plural marriage or pedophilia, then you believe me, because plural marriage may well be the Answer for much of that pedophilia, if the man is in the house, the best thing he can do is believe that the abuse is not happening as much as Now, look at the houses our children live in, the mother went to work, welfare was cut so the children could be raised. They themselves believe that they have homosexuality now I was in this case in which they told me that the nephew sexually abused the uncle sexually abused the nephew or the older cousin sexually abused the younger God all the parents were in the house the child was in the living room little boy went to the kitchen and while he was in the kitchen in a matter of moments he was sexually abused by his older cousin and the guy who sexually abused was sexually abused in the etiology of all this is emotional abandonment in neglect if we don't do it. give black children the love they need when they are children, they will indirectly try to take it away from another younger child when they grow up.
Childhood pedophilia Pedophilia even in adults, but with children who speak at a certain level can be seen as a drastic attempt to force a loving relationship with someone who cannot reject me because I never had a loving relationship with my parents who did reject me is the family. I know the sisters don't want to share their husband, I know, but if we want to heal the black community, I really don't see how you're going to do that without some kind of limited form of polygenics. Many of our young brothers suffer from a lack of confidence and purpose.
What advice would you give to young people to increase their self-confidence? be worthwhile and do something productive with your life absolutely fine, first of all let's look at the psychosocial development of children, most of us from birth to about 12 years old, what we think about ourselves is what adults in our lives they thought of us, our concept of ourselves. literally the internalization of the opinions of other adults you follow, so if you say I have a 12 year old on my soccer team, their self-esteem of him is on the floor. Dot, what can I do? What you have to do is talk to him about life. affirmations and positive comments and strength because at home his mother and father criticize him all the time verbally, but if we do not get the mother and father to change the way they communicate with him, he will continue to internalize the voices of his parents and that his self-esteem is going to have problems until he is old enough to move out of that house, receive therapy and rebuild himself psychologically.
There are psychologists who would say that it is useless to do therapy with a child without doing therapy with the family because everything that child thinks about himself is a reflection of what the family thinks about him. It's like doing therapy with a girl who was sexually abused and every day she comes home and the brother who sexually abused her is still in the house. How does she heal? trauma while you are still in the midst of trauma, so although we can do the best we can by not living in a home, tell the truth to our children to make sure that we are using very strong positive affirmations because this is what the culture of Frederick La Douglass and Marcus Garvey Academy will be because I know that many of our children come from broken homes where their spirits were broken and as Frederick Douglass said, it is better to raise strong children than to mend broken men, so we have to make sure we raise these men with a sense of black masculinity that is unwavering, unyielding and unbreakable, that is our goal, but at the same time, if the parents continue to affect them more than us, we are going to lose our brains, it is hell. a creation but guess what the brain is still a slave to repetition you follow me you could be telling the truth but you only say it once a week I could be telling you a lie I say it 25 times a day it's not like that no matter how true your truth is , guess what he's going to believe at the end of the day to me, it's like the black woman who suffers verbal and physical abuse from her lover, she's beautiful, eh, Halle Berry is an example that she's been in a few relationships emotionally abusive.
Holly Berry is a beautiful woman, but after someone tells you 50 times a day for 10 years that you are ugly and unattractive and that no one loves you, I don't care what you see in that mirror, you are going to believe the broken message, So I have to understand that repetition is what rules the mind. What did Adolf Hitler say? And I'm not Adolf hitting the fan, but the architect of the Nazi propaganda system was a white psychologist named Joseph Gobles. He taught Hitler how to hypnotize the German people. European Jew Adolf Hitler said: invent the LIE keep the lies simple don't let it be complex if you want to control people's minds what you are telling them has to be simple this is a psychological principle he said make sure the LIE is big because people will question a small lie, they will never question a big lie and they will make the LIE repetitive, tell it over and over again, and that's probably when you watch German propaganda films during the Hitler era, what do you always see that's the swastika everywhere? you go and see the swastika Hitler used the basic principles of indoctrination and the basic principles of repetition to almost take over the entire world nothing wins more than repetition when you enter the army it is not every day of basic training repetition you do the same thing every day all the time day you hear the same message every day all day and after three months, after three months, they took a guy off the corner and turned him into the best marine the world has ever seen in three months through repetition, that's why I wanted Frederick Douglass Marcus Garvey.
The academy will be residential I graduated from a residential high school School of Scotland Chambersburg Pennsylvania Martin Delaney's childhood hometown grandfather Pan Africanism I saw the benefit of a captive environment now our school was JROTC, they were preparing us for the military. I don't You don't go, you feel me, but I saw how this kind of environment where your parents can reach out to you all the time, television, radio, video games, you control everything they have access to, I said, if I can do the same, but with African consciousness I could. create an army of soldiers, follow me and that's why I wanted a residence, we can't afford it right now, but in the final analysis I want you to

fdmg

be a full-fledged residential academy and speaking of the school, how?
Dealing with all the criticism and everything. I think what I've learned in my short life is that black people don't understand the process of getting things done. If I set a goal, I should achieve it within a week, I guess. If it's not done in a week I'm a failure I'm a liar but a scammer but they don't give you room for failure either no, no, no, no, that's one of our biggest setbacks as black people and you're obviously experiencing it well, so , how do you handle all the criticism and everything that happens with your good question, good question?
A couple of points about the

fdmg

and the criticism we have received, we took our first donation for fdmg good brother April 14, 2014 St Louis so this April 14th will be the 9th anniversary of the fundraiser and the school should be finished next month, God willing, when April 14th comes, it took us nine years, basically it took us We are just nine years away from getting this school finished the greatest irony of the review and I want to keep the review in context because most of our people support the dream, support the vision, if they didn't, we don't understand it. that school that camp is in Wilmington Delaware it is the first school in the history of the United States built exclusively by the African diaspora it had never been done before even in the Garvey style not to that extent the donations came from Africa Jamaica the Caribbean South America there's no country and I There's definitely no continent, but there's probably no country that we haven't received a donation from that speaks to how much black people are willing to support something they believe in, so back to the detraction, you know what It is the most interesting.
The detraction is how can you criticize the construction of an institution where an institution was never built? How can you criticize a man who presents something never done before in this country when we as a people do not have a history in America, a recent history of building our own institution I heard people say things like the school should to have been done after two years based on what they once built the school. No, have you ever run a school? No, so how do they know how long it takes to get to school? Another black guy said, remember we were going through the HVAC situation, now the HVAC unit is fifty thousand dollars, you're not going to get it cheaper, you know what they said on YouTube.
I talked to my cousin, he's an HVAC technician, he said. he could get an HVAC for five grand, show me a damn HVAC in a school for five, I mean literally people talking gibberish, bro, people talking gibberish, oh he bought some Bando traps, some schools weren't worth it, right? Do you know what that campus was? Renovated from scratch, they took over old buildings. They consolidated and rebuilt them. 13 million dollars in 2009. That means the school is 14 years old. Property worth 13 million dollars. We paid less than an eighth of that to acquire it, but the guard simply clarified to the people to bill that it is there the building is of course it is in the building what is the next process? city ​​occupancy certificate.
I already set the first day of school for September 3, 2024. So next year we will start with second, third and fourth grade and then we will go up and down a lot each year, so the first year is two three four years two is from one to five years three is from kindergarten to sixth grade four is from pre-kindergarten to seventh grade five is kindergarten to eighth grade, which gives us enough time to cross the street and finish the honorable Frederick Douglass High School, that They are three times the size of the primary school, but now that I have the wisdom to go through the small school rehabilitation process, I know what to do and what not to do in the secondary school, furthermore, once our people see the education that our children are receiving. in that small school they are going to want their child to come to fdmg and they are going to say I want my child in your school and I am going to say we have no room look at that school over there you The child's classroom is there, we have to finish it.
What I mean is that once you see what we're doing, I think finishing high school will be a lot faster than finishing elementary school, so again, eh. The only thing we are waiting for right now is the last repair. Plumbing is done, electrical approved is inspected, safety fire sprinklers approved, everything is done, inspected and approved, the only thing stopping us is the batteries inside the VAV unit, so in a commercial building. Each living room has a suitable hot air inlet and outlet unit. Our units are good, but the batteries that are there because the school sat idle for about five years before we got them, the batteries are leaking and leaked into the sensors, so the sensors are supposed to work.
Will arrive next week once they put the sensors in Looks like we're done Do an inspection Have to contact the city Say all units are in good order Electrical HVAC Plumbing Fire What's next? How did you end up in a

breakfast

club

the first time? I was in South Carolina speaking in Columbia, South Carolina, for the first time, a young brother came up to me and said, "You have to go to The Breakfast Club." It was interesting because it was my first time speaking in Colombia, South Carolina, and the event was not open to the public, it was small, but a young brother came and said you have to go to The Breakfast Club.
They need to listen to you, I said The Breakfast Club what is that? Know? because he didn't actually tell me, but he knew about Charlemagne and they, you know, I think he did know about The Breakfast Club at the time and he said, here's the phone. number gave me a card to the producer of Charlemagne he told me send an email to this guy this is the producer of Charlemagne if memory serves I emailed him and said hey you know I'm interested in coming to The Breakfast Club to talk about the school, the president's conduit, here is my biography Dr.
Umar's young brother from Columbia said that he is a friend of one of you because you know that Charlemagne is from Monks Corner of South Carolina, which is not far away from Colombia. I don't remember if the young brother knew him personally or not. but he definitely had his producer card, they invited me. I went to The Breakfast Club. The first visit was in the summer of 2015. Um, I had my blue suit and my head. I didn't know what to expect. I just went in and answered the questions. the

interview

went viral they invited me back in 2016. it went viral in fact in fact 2017 supervised I mean you know and I and I owe a lot of thanks to Charlemagne and DJ Envy on Power 105 because although he was already well known for 15.
He was already well known I had already been all over the world at that time I could see the difference when I walked through an airport I judge the reception at the airport I judge my saturation by the reception at the airport so I'm always in different airports right, so it's okay, right? how many people will approach me here before The Breakfast Club? Half the airport knew me right after The Breakfast Club, the whole airport knew me before The Breakfast Club. It was an all-black fan group after The Breakfast Club. They were all like now white, Chinese, Hawaiian, Arab, they all come up and I have never had a negative speech.
There may be people who disagree. Hey, I just want to respectfully disagree, but most of the time it's love, you know, and I don't even do that. I understand it because there has never been a scholar of Pan-African nationalism like a Khalid or a Malcolm or a Garvey with my message my vision of having this kind of dominant saturation I don't even know how it happened I don't know how The Tic-Tac thing happened I don't know how it happened became viable on YouTube I don't have a YouTube page I literally didn't know all this was coming but I'm grateful because without it I don't know If we raise that money, you follow us and people say: well, doctor, did Charlemagne or Envy ever make a donation to school?
I don't think they have, I think they should, as black men I don't think they have, but at the same time I can't blame them for that because they put me in a position for the whole world to hear what Dr. Umar has what to say and if you never donated, even though you should, I'm grateful that you feel me because clearly The Breakfast Club and someone says because I'm a self-made man, I got where I am through my own work, no one put me anywhere , but if someone said on your path to being a self-made man, who are some of the people you have to have?
I think supporting that when it comes to Media Breakfast Club is at the top of the list because I literally saw the impact it was, it was instant, you know what I mean and it came at the perfect time, you know why we started fundraising on April 14th. The first Breakfast Club interview was in the summer of '15. So without me you thought it wasn't by design, it just happened Divine Design, maybe it just happened that way, but The Breakfast Club came at a time when they really we needed to help us get over the hump and then of course people ask me about celebrities because I know a lot of them, you know, they call me, we talk on the phone, I mean, upstairs, and people say, you know how you feel by the fact that no black celebrity has ever donated to the school, uh, fundraiser in nine years.
I don't dwell on it because I don't know what their reasons are, maybe they want me to show them and prove them, maybe once we open I could start getting some checks from celebrities. I mean, we're tax exempt. I can dismiss it, you know what I mean, so I don't know, I know a lot of them are afraid, I know a lot of them support me, but they're afraid of white people knowing that they're associated with someone with my message, you know, and to me, what is there to fear?, what am I saying?, they should have a problem with black people, they need to own their own businesses, we should chart our own path forward to achieve our own destiny, black men should be. married to black women, not white.
I don't preach hate, you know, I don't preach anything that's against another race. I'm just pro-black, so at the end of the day, when people call me controversial, I need to know. What is controversial about me telling the truth? White teachers don't work for black kids who don't know white wives don't work for the black community who don't know you see what I'm saying white people are racist. that they don't know that black people are not stepping up and taking responsibility for their own destiny, that they don't know that what I'm saying is so controversial and the way I look at it is that if telling the truth is controversial then we are in a very bad state as a people, if telling the truth is controversial, we are in a very bad state as a people because when I look at my message and I'll be honest with you, brother, when I started talking coming out of the Garvey movement and then the African American Museum lecture series that I used to give in downtown Philadelphia I didn't know my message would be considered controversial when I said ADHD was a scam.
I didn't know it was controversial when I said special education is a scam. I feel like I'm literally just telling people the truth and then they started writing articles. This black psychologist from Philadelphia said special rush letters where they put black kids or ADHD is a scam, no daddy disorder at home, bro, it's the truth. Fire, how was that? let me tell you this the reason it is so controversial is because no other black psychologist would dare to speak that truth in public that is what makes it controversial if this is true if special education is a scam and special education has been around for 50 years Why are you the first to tell us?
See, that's the problem, if what he says is true, all these other black psychologists, no one put it that way. You know why, because they were too busy making money off the system, so it's not about me. being controversial is about all the black psychologists that came before me, not all, but many of them were too cowardly to tell it like it is, when did it all start talking about them? um great question so I just lived in one other state which was North Carolina Jacksonville was in Jacksonville North Carolina in third grade that's when I decided I wanted to be a psychologist.
He didn't have an older brother. I'm the oldest kid, so he wasn't that size. brother to talk to, so I said that when I grow up I will be the older brother that other children can talk to. I didn't know anything about special education. I didn't know anything about ADHD, so when we got Back to Philadelphia, my parents got divorced, thank God, why do you say thank God because my father emotionally abused my mother? You follow me and, as a son, you don't want to see you follow me, so it was the best for me. mother, they got divorced, so when we return to Philadelphia, I already decided to stay in Carolina.
I will be a psychologist when I return to Philadelphia. I enrolled in meat elementary school, we had a programof history for blacks, it was mandatory. not for the school district but for the school, this is where I think Divine Design comes into play, what are the chances of it ending up in this neighborhood? Probably the only school in town that makes kids take black history classes. You feel me, so I take it. In fourth grade I take it in fifth grade teacher Miss Lillian Green, who I ran into by coincidence a few years ago, the black history speech contest appears.
Miss Green says hey, who wants to be in the black history guide? I still remember it. I said, I want to do it Miss Green I do the black history speech contest first place fourth grade I come back in fifth grade first place fifth grade so my Consciousness and my speaking started at the same time fourth or fifth grade next year my father takes I at my first family reunion in the city of Baltimore, from which Frederick Douglass escaped. We walked around the back of this church. I never forget it because a snow bunny saved me from drowning that weekend.
I got to that in a second, so I'm walking through the In the church and I'm looking at Frederick Douglass's hat Frederick Douglass had the Bible from him. I'm like and of course I know who's from black history class, so I asked my dad and I said what's all this Frederick Douglass stuff? He said you were related to him. I'm like, oh, I'm related to Frederick Douglass by blood, so I said by blood, yeah, by blood, not by marital blood, so now I go back to Philadelphia, I'm excited, I'm in black history class, right? I just feel this.
I know who my ancestors are and then I found out that I am related to possibly the greatest leader in American history, Bob Blood, so when I leave grade school I already know that I will be a psychologist. I've already started speaking in public. I was introduced to Black Consciousness and I just found out that I am related to Frederick Douglass, so at the age of 12 my destiny, to be honest, was already set and let me give you this additional point, guess what is four blocks from the school Mead Elementary. School around the corner, down the street, four blocks, five minute walk, the Universal Negro Improvement Association and the African Communities League, the largest black organization in modern history, founded by the Honorable Marcus.
Coffee, my mom bought my sneakers at the Jewish-owned sneaker store right next to Garvey. building my entire childhood I never knew that was the Garvey house guess how I found out I'm in college so I'm done with high school now I'm in college but this is still four blocks from my elementary school The old man from the school walks down the street corner. I said what's up. They painted it red, black and green. I said what's going on in your head. He said it's the garbage house. You have to come to the meeting. I said when is the meat.
He said Sunday at three. 'On the dot, so I show up on Sunday at three o'clock because I come and go. I go to Millersville University in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, so I'm coming home this weekend to go to the Garden because that's me.' I'm into this and I'm the only young person you know, so I'm growing up in the Garden, growing up through the Garvey movement, graduate school, coming to government, coming to the Garden, and then when I get back to Philly 2000, I'm going to get my master's degree. I returned to do my internship in the Philadelphia school district.
Now I'm very interested in the Gary movement because I'm back home, you know what I mean, and it was the Garvey movement where public speaking started my first two out-of-town speaking engagements. It was for the union. I was flown to Atlanta to speak on behalf of the UNIA chapter in Atlanta and flown to Brooklyn or Harlem to speak at a UNIA meeting with a limited audience, so my speaking came straight out of Garvey, which is interesting why Elijah Muhammad when he was Elijah Pool, he was a member of the Garvey movement, he started there. Malcolm He appeared for me in 2010.
He was working as a school psychologist at different charter schools in Philadelphia. I received a call from his brother Daiwai Israel. Hebrew brother from Chicago. I wrote a couple of articles online and he told me. Hey, I'd like you to come and interview me on my public access television channel. I flew to Chicago on September 17th. He interviewed me on September 18, which was the anniversary of Booker T Washington's speech at the Atlanta Cotton Expo, which is interesting because he was a Pan-African and educated, and so am I. and I blew up that day, there are no coincidences, so we did the interview there, it went viral in Chicago six weeks later.
I speak at the National Black Theater in New York City. This is the first time before a large public audience. I've been there before with the Garvey movement, but this is the first time I would do it before the community. I had copies of that Chicago interview, 48 Hours, bro, I'm telling you, 48 Hours, my phone started ringing with zip codes I didn't even know existed, are you the guy that I? I'm looking, are you the boy I'm looking at? Can you come here? Can you come here? Can you come here? Can you come here? At first it was all domestic then the next thing you know it's Jamaica Saint Croix London Paris I'm like oh you I know I mean boom boom boom boom boom boom and again I'm just retaining all this information that I'm giving out so when I started to talk I wasn't even charging, just take me back and forth, but then what started? for it to happen I was missing a lot of time from the schools I was serving I had to make a decision damn because the money is good but this is your this is your passion this is your life you were born for this I gave up money to travel and no I regret it, when did you really start honing your skill as an order regarding, first of all, remember in the correct information being able to articulate the repetition?
That's just repetition because I talk a lot, yeah, you feel it. To me, when you talk a hundred times a year, some things are like second nature. Now you know what I mean and the challenge I have every time I speak is how many new things I give to this audience and how many of the fundamental things I give them. In this audience some people say Doc. I noticed that you always cover some of the same things in each speech and then give a completely new piece in each I said I do that because I know there will be people who have never heard me before and as my main responsibility is to save our children, I have to go to that scooter prison.
You feel me, so I give it every time because I don't know who's there that never heard me and then I go out and record new material. If everyone there is new, you feel me, you feel me apart from everyone and they've heard me before, I know I don't have to play, I can just move on to the new material, but it's always a process of getting to know me. who's in your audience, so I always ask the host who's here are these people who heard me before are these parents are these Coons, you know, are the haters are the supporters, what is it, they're Christians, are, I try to learn as much as I can about the audience because I always want the message to be relevant and I always try to address four or five different topics because you never know who needs what in the audience there may be a woman there contemplating suicide, so I have to push. that emotion that self love that Spirit there may be someone there you know tired of their job I have to face that racism and the need for you to make a way for yourself someone could be fighting the school to protect their child let me touch on this special topic in this ADHD and some school laws, someone could be visiting from Africa or the Caribbean, you know what I'm saying and they're not really getting a good reception from African Americans, let me touch on that pan-Africanism on that. mental side and that self hate, you know what I mean, so I try to do a buffet now, this is where it gets interesting when I get invited to colleges and they freak out, especially hbcus, white colleges, no be afraid, black schools. be afraid since the students asked for it, we have to have it, but Dr.
Johnson, could you send us the summary of what you are going to say? He knows this, because even though the students love him, he knows that some people aren't sure it's a good idea. Say, listen, you've been watching my videos on YouTube, haven't you? I said I need you to know something. Those videos you see are made for an all black community in the black community it's raw, it's not cut, I said when I get to your university I'm not talking about homosexuality I'm not talking about LGB I'm not going to insult white people I'm not going to talk about White Jesus I said listen, you've ever heard of being disinvited from a college, right?
Didn't I say do you know why? Because after I speak at the university and they know that this man is a professional, knows how to serve any audience they like, they will be scared because they think that the lecture I give in the Brooklyn Ghetto is the lecture I forgive in the Cheney University. You don't understand that that's a wrong uncut black audience. You are an institution funded by white people. I wouldn't put you in that position, but it's amazing how people know what I would assume. people would assume that if you've been around this long and you're a black professional with these credentials you have to know how to navigate.
I think they think I'll just kick in the door and throw the Garvey grenade wherever it is. No, you know. You don't want to offend anyone and you want to come back because the students who sacrificed to get you there you don't want the dean to call them saying why you brought him here he offended the gays he no no I come to spread love and motivate. I'm not here to offend people, so when I speak at college universities, when I speak to white professors, when I speak at these conferences, the message is always me, I never compromise, but I choose. and choose what I'm going to discuss so as not to offend the people who invited me are some of the topics on social media more just the fuss or what is no, it's the harsh truth if I'm going to come to the community, so I was in Brooklyn the other day celebrating Dr.
Kyle Abdul Mohamed, may Dr. Khalid rest in peace. I'm telling you the raw truth. I like them because I don't have to teach my message. See if I'm in an audience full of white people. I have to make sure I don't go, but so hard that you follow what I say. If I'm around a group of bougie blacks, I gotta make sure I don't go, but with that much force, you know what I'm gon' do? I'm saying I'm still going to be true to myself and the message, but I'm still going to try not to offend the people who invited me, but when you take me to a straight Hood joint, it's not cut, it's raw like Doctor Who .
There's nothing stopping me, I'm just going to go in, but the problem is that the universities will watch the neighborhood conferences and say that if he says that we're going to lose our jobs here, I'm not going to say that there are speeches from the black community. to the black community you are inviting me as a social scientist to speak to your college students you did not invite me here to spark a revolution you invited me here to speak to college students and that is exactly what I am going to do but it would be surprising if black colleges are more reluctant to extend that invitation at a white university.
Shows you how much control white people have over hbcus. Do you think white people are the latest? Do you think some of the white invitations or type of voyeurism Matt is a student generated 90 of my invitations to universities around the world because I have spoken at universities and in other countries and continents it is run by students if it were for the faculty they would never invite me. I remember being invited to Cal State Long Beach or it was a I've been to a couple of colleges in the Los Angeles area. I think it was Cal State Long Beach.
Damn, it's Cal State and then there's the University of California. I've been to both. I forgot it. which one I'm talking about, but there was a brother I knew in college who used to come to Garvey's meetings in North Philadelphia. He learned garveyism from me. He's now a doctoral professor in Africana studies at Cal State Long Beach or the University of California, don't you know? When I came to talk, he made a point not to be there, he made a point not to get over it, and I said, wow, you don't want people to know that you learned your Garveyism from me. just disappointed because I thought you already knew, I mean, I was looking forward to saying that you know, like me, that's the brother that used to come, he was just a college student at Temple University, he used to come to the Garvey Building in North Philadelphia and I used to have political meetings. action class on Sunday and all the temple students would come, in fact, I have a lot of doctorates and African studies under my belt now that I think about it, you know, but I was disappointed that this brother, I think it was more the eagle thing than anything else thing, he didn't want people to know that he sat at my feet and gained Black Consciousness from me in the house ofGarvey, so he didn't come to the conference, you know, and uh, mainstream media, mainstream media, you take calls, right?
Really uh not really um I don't avoid them but I don't sit around looking for them and that's because I consider the white mainstream media to be enemies of the Black Revolution. The media's job is to misrepresent black masculinity. Your job is to persuade black people. people not to follow us, your job is to keep our people confused about what they should be doing, your job is to always paint black people as perpetrators and white people as victims, so I don't think you need white media to communicate with people. blacks. For me, people follow me and when the white media comes, for example, if I go to a conference, people say Dr.
Umar NBC is here, CNN is here, they would like to talk to you about what, because they are very sure not. You don't sympathize with us like you follow what I say, well they just want a quick interview, don't you think that would be good? No, it's not going to be good because anything I tell them, they're going to remix and splice it together. Cut it out and make it look like I hate white people. I don't need the white media, you know, and I tell the white media that there is no disrespect to all of you.
I don't need you to communicate with my people for me. Follow me now. If there are white people who have some questions for me, my email is public, my phone number is public, my Twitter, my Tick Tock, my Facebook and guess what I respond to white people because they come up. A white man walked up the other day. I can go? not to your conference in Harlem, it's a black family event that you can't attend and you follow it, but I'm open to anyone, but falling in love with the white media is a mistake because if you let them build you, if you consent to let them. bill you, you also consent to let them destroy you Bill Cosby half free mainstream media you answer calls not really uh not really um I don't avoid them but I don't sit around looking for them and that's because I consider the white media to be the enemy of the Black Revolution the media's job is to misrepresent black masculinity its job is to persuade black people not to follow us its job is to keep our people confused about what they should be doing its job is to always paint black people as the white perpetrators as victims so I don't think I need the white media to contact black people for me follow me and when the white media comes for example if I go to a conference the right people says Dr.
Umar . NBC is here CNN is here, they would like to have a few words with you because they are pretty sure they don't like us since you follow what I'm saying, well they just want a quick interview don't you think? be good, no, it's not going to be good because anything I tell them, they're going to remix it, splice it, cut it and make it sound like I hate white people. I don't need white media you know and I'm telling the white media there is no disrespect to all of you I don't need you to contact my people for me follow me now if there are white people who have some questions for me my email is public my phone number is public my Twitter my Tick Tock my Facebook and guess what I respond to white people because they come closer.
The other day a white man came up. Can I come to your conference in Harlem? No, it's a black family event that you can't attend and you follow, but I'm open to anyone except falling for white media is a mistake because if you let them build you up, if you consent to being billed, you also consent to being billed. destroy you Bill Cosby
