A House Divided Cannot Stand

two things can't occupy the same space. At the same time, America had a civil war and it was over the South separating from the North. They did not agree no longer with the north policies and their feverish attempt to abolished slavery. Well, the South said, that's all right. We got our own economy, we got our own government, we got our own nation. So they separated from the North. North.

The North declared war on the South to preserve the union, not to fight the free slaves, but to preserve the union. You know, money, tax revenue, that's a lot of wealth, that's a lot of land. So this North wasn't having it, so they declared war on the South. The South separated and declared their independence, formed their own flag, their own nation, own government, had their own president. And the North said no, not not that easy now, And they went to war.

And it wasn't because over the free blacks. It was to preserve the union, to keep the United States. A house divided, can't stand that. Yeah, slavery was a major issue and between the North and the South, but the sou and Abraham Lincoln said, if he knew that the South was that serious about leaving and wanted to separate from the United States, he would have gladly backed off of abolance in slavery. Why because the last thing the

North wanted was was to separate the United States. A house divided can't stand The issue over slavery was a major issue, and the South had their own revenue, they had their own they formed their own government, declared their own president, and had their own army. They simply separated. They didn't declared war on the North, but the North said, nah, nah, nah, we go on the war to preserve the union. A lot of people think they left because I mean they

declared war on the South because they wanted the free slave. No, that was That's not why the South and the North forth the Civil War, it was over. The United States won the preserve the Union, to keep the United States, and then in the South didn't want that any longer. So that's what the real issue was. Now, if the North won, then they were gonna go ahead and free slave.

But if the North would have surrendered, then the South simply would have continued to do what it always has been, you know, it would have kept that new econom that economic model of slavery. That's what they wanted, and they didn't feel that the North represented their interests, so they separated. It's plain and simple. But well, but I'm no food, I no money talk, bs walk, and all my study has led me to believe, especially Abram said, if I if he knew that the South would have separated and

done what it did, it wouldn't have pushed slavery. It wouldn't have not it wouldn't have you know, kept pushing get rid of slavery. That's you know, in a lot of his lectures, that's what he said. Well, now, but it was too late. The South already separated and it was tired of them trying to put pressure on them to a bottle of slavery, which was an economic model in the South, and in the North they had a different economic model servitu slavery, so slave wages type of

slavery in the North. But you were free and you could, you know, have family, get married, have children, have a family, have create your own business. In the North, or if you worked for any Caucasians or what have you, they paid your slave wages, but you were free. In the North. You had no such thing. Because I'm sorry, in the South, you had no such thing because you was considered a slave, you was considered property. Well, a house divided can't stand.

This issue became such a polarizing subject, the policy that the South declared independence from the North. Well, today it's a lot of rhetoric. Election is coming up and there is opposition that is so divisive. What I'm saying, a house divided can't stand. Democracy is at stake during this election. Either America is going to continue to be a democratic nation or is going to move towards socialism, ultimately Marxism and communism, where the rights of the people are going

to eventually be taken away. Their move towards socialism is against capitalism, and so there is a battle for a new economic model. And I am a black man who just found his way, who just became an entrepreneur and understanding the nature of human beings is to do for self or self for the consequences. And now they want to change the nation into more of a socialist you know, just when black people's waking up finding their way, now the government wants to change or who create a whole

new system of new type of system called socialism. That's the direction they're moving and that's how I see it. You know, with a lot of these policies taking parental rights away from parents, you know, this genior reassignment and kids having They told me when I went to the doctor when the kid hit a teenager, they don't even have to have the parents in their room to talk to the doctor. Come on, man, this is going crazy. Boys competing against girls. This is what's that stake too.

First Amendment, freedom of speech wars going on in America. You better pick the right candidate, because a house divided can't stand. And right now, these issues are becoming more and more divisive, and it ain't just clear cut. You know, don't get caught up in the brainwashing. And just because the masses of the people like something don't necessarily make

it true. And there's a lot of what they call identity politics going on in this country, voting for people just because of the color of their skin, not because they are qualified or have the ability to lead. You know, all of these things are at stake, and a house

divided can't stand. And right now there's a lot of division, a lot of hate, just because people are feeling fear of possibly United States becoming a socialist nation and lifestyles being ultimately alternate lea changing in for dramatically, or the nation is going in the right direction, and where boys only compete against girls, gender re assignment for and paid

by taxpayers for illegal immigrants as well as prisoners. All of these things are on the ballot that she we You know that a lot of propositions you gotta pay attention to because homeless is increasing, so rent control is an issue. There's a lot of issues man at stake and on this ballot, so you know, pay close attention and vote. But whoever wins, it's going to be a

divided house either way. A house divided can't stand. And so fortunate because the United States of America has become the greatest nation in the last four thousand years since Rome, right cause first they that epic Europeans, epic civilization was Rome. Well, United States is a byproduct of Britain, Rome, Ancient Greece,

ultimately knowledge that you got from ancient Egypt. So these things have culminated into America being the greatest nation in the history of mankind and in the last you know, like I said, four thousand years. So these things are on the ballot because America can end in a blink of an eye, just like all other nations have gone and and pasted and are ancient now Babylon, Ancient Egypt, Rome, Greece, Persia,

all these nations are gone. They were great empires. So we have an election at state in a house divided can't stand. And there's a lot of divisiveness on both parties, not just one. There's a lot of fear being disseminated from both parties, not just one. And neither party has been a friend ultimately to black people, and a matter we have been used over since we been able to vote.

We have our vote has been used in a way to empower a certain party, but we have not gained the benefit from our vote that we should because of our disunity, and we haven't gotten much. Both parties have used us greatly. So we need to be very wise, very intelligent who we vote for, cause voting do have power and it do create, you know, opposition or benefits. So we are a community. So but a house divider can't stand. I I fear that no matter who wins,

this nation's gonna continue to be divided. And black people we just now, especially I'm a black man, just now finding my way and understanding entrepreneurship, understanding you know the game, you know the plan feel and now it feels like it's being changed. And I'm very concerned about the future of the America of America because there's a lot of division, and there's a lot of hate going on and and and I see it from both sides, you know. So all I'm saying is be wise, vote, but be wise.

It's a game to power and go about it in a way to empower our communities. Otherwise we are subject to the winds. And we need to stop being subject to the winds. And we need to build a foundation and legacy and generational wealth. And it's do for self and self for the consequences all life. Is born to do for self or self as the consel. When the first settlers came to America, they came over here to do for self. They came over with their destiny. They came over here with a a belief, and they did

for self. When all these immigrants come over to America, they know they gotta do for self, for self for the consequor. That's the nature of all life, all life, I has to do for self or self for the consequence. Black people wake up, do for self or self for the consequence. The Asians came over here and did for self. Now, look out politically, they're out there in powered because through economics. The other groups of people came over here, religious or racist,

you know, I respect the Jews. Look what they have done collectively. They have formed an alliance with each other and they have built a tremendous network in America. And they leveraged that and they're very powerful. That's a wonderful thing. That's a great example of how unity works and how you can leverage that to increase power and success. They

are a perfect example of success being a minority in America. Also, we have to look at the Hispanics, how they've become a network of success by sticking to and creating the own economic base in America, as did the Asians. You know, because they stick together, they understand the culture and how to protect each other and create unity amongst the groups in order to leverage more power. That's how Look at the gay community, the lgbt Q right, Look how wonderful,

how unified they are. They have created leverage because of their unity. That's why unity is more powerful than in the topic. Mom, a house divided can't stand, you can't. They can't get that kind of power being a minority in the more unless they're unified. These all these groups. When you're a minority, the way you leverage power is to unite. Because a house divided can't stand. You got to unite. You got to leverage your numbers in order to increase your power. So a house de ain't stand,

you gotta understand. Stop the division, stop the back talking, stop the stabbing in the back. Learn to love your family, love your community, love your nation. This is how you become successful as a group or right leverage your community. Black people, we need to unite so we can create and create and increase our power and our wealth and our whatever that we desire, we if we unite, we can solve probably ninety percent of our problems if we unite.

When I see how successful the Jewish community, the gay community, and they all minorities, how they're able to unite on a common goal and use that to protect themselves, elevate themselves, empower themselves. Ultimately, they have become successful because and they are the perfect examples of success based on unity and a when in a world where they're not the majority, they're minority. Power is in united because a house divided
