The Longest Overdue Bill

friend was beefing. We knew the nigga was a problem. So rather she told Gail that or not, we knew the truth, right. But now what the public gets to do is say, see none of the bubble. She's a liar, and that's why it's okay for her to get shot at.

You know, a lot of people are upset about it. But the thing is, to me, right, I would not have I'm seeing a lot of people online like crying and stuff like that if Kamala had one, if Kamala had won the presidency, right, I would not girl by it's a curse. I would not be sad this morning because regardless of what my life is going as still, I'm still gonna be optimistic and move forward like no

matter who the president is. And that's what I want to see black people do, right, I want to see black people get out of the victim mentality a little bit and just realize that we are responsible for our lineage, We are responsible for our futures. Nobody else, nobody else is, no matter who the president is. One thing, one takeaway, and I'll let you go. I do not like seeing the divisiveness that's happening online between black men and women,

because most black men voted for Kamala. So for for different I unfollowed the one last blog I was following. I unfollowed them this morning because they were putting up like tweets and nasty videos that black women were putting up talking to black men about having not voted for Kamala, and it's just not true. Seventy nine percent of black men voted for her. So where y'all getting this number?

From y'all now allowing whoever whatever, social era engineering, big machine divide us even more, and it's just fucked up. That's the part I don't like about this election.

is just part for the course. As far as I'm concerned, and I think if you're upset, then what you should do is get more involved in your low as littlement get more involved in the classrooms, get more involved in your church, get more involved in state houses, local houses, your municipalities, all the things. That is what needs to be done, you know, So moving forward, I mean that's all you can do.

the Black community. Why not engage those people? Right? But I think black they know we love to be entertained. We love to laugh, we love to play, and this is what happened when you just love the laugh and play.

You know, my hat goes off to Kamala. She had hundred days to campaign and she still was able to get close to half of the Yeah, a lot of marketing, Yeah, she did exceptional. I wish that we had picked a democratic candidate a long time ago, instead of waiting for

Joe Biden to drop out with one hundred days left. Absolutely, you know that was the mistake that was made if we had a clear cut candidate that we all could get behind, because that was the failure as far as I'm concerned with Democrats in this election, But I agree also, I.

what it is that they're doing, and a vice versa. Right, So try to stay in the middle so you can see all points of view because there I'm not a Republican, nor am I a Democrat, nor am I an Independent or Green Party or none of that shit I'm going to do would make sense for me, right, so if there was a Democratic candidate who would because you know, a lot of people, this is the other thing I'm seeing,

like people are saying like, oh, she's a woman. This is why they're blaming black men for Kamala not getting into office. And they're also saying like they didn't want to vote vote for it because she's a woman. That is not the case. I feel like if Michelle Obama would have ran for president, half most of the country plus the world and who else want to be involved in US politics would be behind Michelle Obama. So it had nothing to do with her being a woman. Absolutely not.

So I feel like just the it's just weird. Like you said, get involved, I plan to get involved.

you can still do the things. You just have to be informed on what it is that's actually going on, especially on a local level.

mortality rate and the same sentence. It just doesn't make sense to me, because one we're talking about wanting to keep life right, and there's this mechanism and these evil people in place fucking with it right, right, And then the other one is a supposed choice, right, you're choosing life or you're choosing death. I think everybody should try to choose life. Black women period, we under attack, yes, from all sides. We just we just are.

doing it now. White people no longer have to do it because they have now put these frontmen into place who look like us, but they ain't us a lot of the times. And I'm not saying like she shouldn't clean the streets up, but I feel like they were trying to take that nigga house. They want his assets. That's more of what it was about money. It was more about money than actually cleaning the streets.

within with with people across the nation. So welcome to the show, Congressman Dixon, because we be manifesting and we talk back.

our gust too. So I came across, not even came across, because I've seen you on I'm on Twitter Ax a lot, so I've seen a lot of your spaces on Twitter. And then one of my one of my good friends, he sends me your content a lot, and I'm like, the last video you had out went viral in regards to reparations. So I wanted to have you on a I have a little brief chat about it.

Clyburn is my representative. And you know, I found out that South Carolina District six, which is still a majority black district, it's the sixth poorest district in the United States of America out of four hundred and thirty five districts total, and yet it's almost the poorest place. It's almost the poorest place to live, and yet Congressman Clyburn has been there for thirty two years. So I was

very unhappy with the representation we were receiving. And when I confronted him then I asked about reparation and things of that nature. I didn't really like his response, and I kept saying to myself, if we as Americans or whatever background, we're so unhappy with the people we have in office, why are we not trying to run for office ourselves and replace those people we have? In office. Very few people step up to do that, and I decided I didn't want to be like the average person.

I said, I'm going to run for office. I couldn't find a better option, so I say, well, I'll be the beat option anger in.

text messages. I've been on commercials, I've done interviews. Obviously it's a little unnerving when you know your face and your name is out there people are looking at it. But I really had to consider those things, and my attitude is there's no way I can lose. See when I started off, I had zero supporters. It was really just me. I woke up one day. I'm a school teacher, never ran for politics, never voted before, never really got involved in politics. Like you said, I had an opinion.

I had a strong opinion about a lot of things, but I was never really a political never really wanted to be. So I went from one extreme not being involved at all to the other extreme being completely involved. But even if I don't quote unquote when the election, what I'm proud of is that I've helped educate people about the things about wish. I'm passionate why I feel the way I do, and why I feel that my stance on issues is the stance that we should have,

and reparations is one of those premier issues. It is the premire issue of my campaign. Like you mentioned, justice, my slogan is justice for all or justice for none. We can't have it both ways. We can't do reparations for all these other groups that we have done it for, and we're doing it for now, but we're not doing it for the group that has really been through the most, and that are those who are freemen or the Black Americans who are descendence of the emancipated.

We have the Seminoles, they have the k Alcohols, they have the Cherokees, we have the Catawa. Those tribal names are really statuses, and Native Americans get special programs that are just for them based on their status there. They don't get just one large program for all of them. It depends on their status. For example, not Old get this,

the Cherokee get this, the Seminole get this. So if you are a black person in America who is a descendant of a person who was emancipated from American slavery, you have a special status called Freeman. And they passed legislation for us in eighteen sixty five, the Freeman Bureau Acts. They did one and then they did two, and it's set up an office called the Freemen's Bureau. I'm sure if we do our research, a lot of us have ancestors. We will file the Freeman's Bureau. I have found countless

relatives who receive services from the Freemen's Bureau. In order to receive services from the Freeman's Bureau, which was an agency of the government, you had to be a freeman. You had to have that status. Now, of course they did away with the Freeman's Bureau, but the Freeman's status was never rescinded, so we still have that status now, it's just not one we've been using. People think reparations is erasing, it's not. There's no such thing in America

that would be constitutional as reparations for black people. Because maybe if this was back in eighteen hundreds, all the black people in America were black Americans, were people who were either formerly enslaved or had just been emancipated at the end of the Civil War.

supposedly had ended in the South. So do you not subscribe to the notion that, you know, everybody may not be descended of slaves. And maybe that's why they always say reparations has to be studied.

But the cool thing about the freeman's status. It doesn't matter if you are a descendant of a person who was a ready indigenous to the land, or you are the son of a person who came over on these slave ships as a result of the Transatlantic slave from the coast of Africa, whether it's the West coast or

Central Africa. What matters is that if you were here before, well at the end of the Civil War, automatically you are a freedman because when that ended, you were old a debt because you went through American slavery, you then went through or the danger of being enslave. So yeah, it really doesn't matter if your ancestors a person who's indigenous or your ancestors a person who came from the continent of Africa. More than likely, I think most freedomen

we have a mixture of both. We'll probably have native blood and we probably have blood of people who came over on the slave ships. But what is the most important thing is that your ancestor was in this nation at the end of the Civil War, because it was then where America should have paid us for all the labor we did in building this nation and defitting this nation and they did not. Instead, not only did they

not hate us, they actually continue to terrorize us. They did black holes, which would become Jim Crow and their cobs racial massacre. They used imminent domain to take our land, and when that didn't work, they were burned down our black wall streets, or they will flood them, or they will put railroads through them or highways through them. They did medical experimentations on us. I mentioned my great grandfather in the video that went viral, how he was a

World War two vet. He just died like last month, and yet he never received his portion of the GI Bill. The GI Bill was a bill that was given to World War Two vets that helped them to become homeowners, helped them become college educated professionals. They receive pensions. It's pretty much credited with building the modern day American middle class.

Only I think. I think at the most six thousand and black American World War two vets receive benefits of the GI Bill out of like millions of US that actually fought, whereas fifteen million white American World War two vets receive the giveils. That means they were able to acquire wealth that they passed down to their loved ones. I've always said if people can inherit wealth, people can

also inherit the debt. People who are against reparations, I say to them, Okay, so if you've inherited anything from your parent, whether it's homes, whether there's whatever kind of asset, stocks, bars, property, cars, maybe even a bit of position of business, you need to give all that up. Okay, Because you're saying that I do not have an inheritance for which I should receive.

That means you should not have it either. So it's not just the fact that we did not get our debt paid immediately at the end of the Civil War. Is that this nation continued to terrorize us. And when I hear, especially some white people I speak with, they'll say, well, I'm a poor white person. So it's not that i've here in white privilege. It's not about it's not saying that white people don't have issues. It's not saying that any other group doesn't have issues. It's not even saying

that America hasn't done other groups wrong. But I'm not focusing on these other groups right now. Once we have to focus on ourselves and the question to ask if you have problems in your life. Is it a result of the American government depriving you of your constitutional rights?

The only group that can actually say yesterday are those of us who are freemen, because all these other groups Native Americans, Japanese who are interned, the downwinders, for those who know who the downwinders are, those are people who are exposed to radiation as a result of America testing nuclear arms, and they received They have physical elements, and their kids and grandchildren have physical elements, so they are

still getting paid today. The Guamenians, the Iranian hostages, even today, you know Simone Bows, the Olympic gold medalists, even she's about to get reparations. Some other young ladies because they were sexually abused and the FBI failed to investigate the accusations of sexual abuse that they made, so they're about to get paid reparations. All of the groups get paid compensation for the wrong that the federal government, not any Pherson, but the federal government is done to them except us.

So we can actually look at our dada and say we are old. We have yet to be paid. You've done it for others, now you owe it to us too.

you know, with Jim Crow. They will tell us that it wasn't that bad or that was a long time ago, even though Jim Crow and those of us, because I think y'all are in South Carolina as well. Okay, in South Carolina, Jim Crow did not end into the nineteen seventy My mother and father, like I said, told me in the seventies, Jim Crow was still going strong. Even after the federal government structed down, states like South Carolina still fought and were slow to do away with Jim

Crow completely. Some people, let's take the Holocaust survivors, White Jews went through the Holocaust. They're still getting paid right now, and we get told never forget the.

cannot deny the Holocaust. You will immediately be called an awful person. You know, there are Holocaust deniers. The point is, though, look at what they went through and how they're getting compensation for their tragedy. Okay, And yet we went through centuries of governmental oppression, okay, centuries That was like a Holocaust that lasted three hundred years. So this country is built in the foundation that somehow our issues were a

long time ago it has been resolved. Just because you stopped terrorizing someone on paper, that doesn't mean you made up for the damage that was done to them as a result of your terrorism. But another thing is we haven't demanded it. I'm not trying to blame the victims. I'm not, but we really have not demanded it. We have all these black faces in Congress, and let's look at some of the things they're fighting for. Whether you agree with abortion or not, I believe that we should

be pushing to help strengthen black families. That means, you know, married couples having children. They push on us abortion that seems to be the only thing they feel we deserve. Abortion. Let's say, well, I don't know how you may feel about immigrations, but the point is most countries don't allow people to fly in through the nation illegally, and if you fly in through the nation I legally, they show us Hell's not going to reward you for doing so.

In America, that's happening. You have people like James Clapburn who sees the freedmen in his district, people whose fanis have been in this country for centuries. We are struggling. We are among the poorest group in America. That's just irrefutable fact. And yet he's seeing that he wants these illegal immigrants to have a pathway to citizenship. They didn't wrong, and you want to reward them. We have wrong done to us, and you refuse to speak up for what

is old to us. So some of our representatives, the white ones, yes, but especially the ones who are our own, supposed to be our own people, they do not stand up for us, and we reward them by still voting for them to be in office because we think that this is routine. It's very routine, especial Unfortunately with us. We're the only group of America that votes for one party all the time, no questions asked. It's starting to

change a little now. The Black Americans still buy and large we're gonna if we vote, because a lot of us don't. But if we vote, it's gonna automatically be for the Democratic Party, and we do that without demanding anything from them, specifically for us. So it's a combination of this country's historic neglect of us, which this nation is accustomed to doing. Two, we have not held our

representatives accountable for standing up for us. You have people in this country illegally who have the auDA to demand things. They go in the streets and they protests. They shouldn't even be there. But look how bold they are to demand things from a country in which they do not belong. Yet we don't do that same thing. We don't demand

things that'll offer to us. And when our representatives don't stand up for us, we don't make them pay by not electing them, by refusing to vote for them, and running people against them.

this has happened before. This isn't This isn't a new play. And I think that black people may not believe that immigration is our issue. It is an issue of us.

white immigrants coming from Ireland and Italy. You know what's funny, We sometimes helped these groups when they came over here, and those groups turned against group, and they turned against Some of the worst race riots in the American history were done by Italian and Irish immigrants. Now we have people coming here from all over, but a lot of from Latin America and Asia, but nowadays increasingly from the African continent. Of course, we have people coming from the Caribbean.

We sometimes have this attitude where we want to show solidarity with all these other groups. They don't reciprocate and do that for us. In California, for example, I'll give you two examples. A lot of black freemen have left California. They're moving to Texas, they're moving to up to other places in the South. So now you have these Mexican gangs who are targeting black families and running them out. Sometimes these families are freemen. Sometimes these are other black

people from Latin America, from Spanish Speakan countries. They're targeting them and trying to run them out. In California, the largest civil lawsuit in California's history were fouled by Black Americans by freedmen who were being harassed on their jobs by Hispanics. But they were being harassed by Hispanics on their jobs, being called the inn wards, having bananas put in their locker rooms. A number three California. Again the

group of Mexican American representatives. Y'all probably remember. This happened like two years ago. They were in a back room, it was recorded.

Point out one group, one group, ethnic group, or as a political group that when they stand up, they fight for us. Point out one group that's going hard for reparation.

You Wars and things like that. So those are those are our people as far as I'm concerned the Caribbean Islands, I'm not really talking about across across, but at least the islands, at least I believe that we are usually on the same page for the most part, Black Americans and Caribbeans.

We for some reason, have laws, they have the ability to advocate for themselves. You can google right now Haitian American organizations. You will find hundreds of them. Now if you just google black organization. This is why sometimes saying black is a problem. You will find organizations that were started for us, but we include everyone, and that's a problem. If these other groups can do things specifically for them.

We need to get to the point where, hey, this is not hate, but this is specifically fuss And I'm not apologizing for it being specifically fussed. And that's why I've been embraced encouraging us to use the term freedman. Yes, that still doesn't mean our race is not black. Yes, but black is not gonna get us anywhere legally, because the moment we try to do legislation for black people it's gonna get shot down. You could not do legislation based on race in America, it will be a violation

of the thirteenth Commitment. However, you can do legislation based on status. That's why they have policies and programs for immigrants, because that is a status. That's why they have policies and programs for people who may have mental illness. That's a status. That's why when the Intern Japanese who received reparations in the nineteen eighties, they did it for them, not because they were Japanese, but because they were the status or the class of Japanese people who are formally

in turn. I mean, I speak about that real quick. A lot of people like to say, well, the reason they haven't done reparations for freedom is because the people who went through the wrong are dead. They've been dead for a long time, and we are their children, great grandchildren,

great great children. But that's a lie because when they did reparations for the Intern Japanese that happened in the nineteen forties where they were thrown into concentration War two, right World War two, reparation for them did not happened into the nineteen eighties. Nineteen eighty eight, and they didn't start paying them until nineteen ninety two or something like that. A lot of them had died by then. Do you know what happened with the money that was old to them?

It went to their children, remember I mentioned it.

to do with the Republicans. We'll automatically voting for them. Even though it started to decline, and I think that's a good thing. We are starting to say you don't deserve my vote if you want it to earn it. I think we unite pretty well because when you look at how freeminting the vote, a lot of us don't. Sometimes like fifty over fifty six percent of us will not vote at all. But when we vote, it will usually go to the Democrats. That's us uniting, but for

the wrong reason. Now we can unite like that and vote for people who are going to look out for us and fight for us. We can do pretty well. And you know, we would not have survived this nation if we were not unified. Think about it, this nation. After slavery ended, they tried to wipe us out. They felt there was no need for us any longer. And

yet in spite of them constantly terrorizing us. In spite of them doing all the horrific, inhumane things they did to us, we were able to build not one, not two, not three, not four, not five, but multiple Black wall streets. Even though they were destroyed, we built them. We were able to start organizations like the Black Panthers that are now iconic worldwide. So I think we have united in spite of the facts that they do maneuver to keep us divided. Like one thing they try to do that

I don't like. They try to do this whole gender divide all the black man versus the black women.

against reparations. But once I sat down and I showed them that one America has done it multiple times again, Interi, Japanese, many many, many Native American tribes, the Waymnians, the Iranian Hostages, the down Winders. When I sit down and break it down for them like that, I said, now tell me why have they not done it for the freemen? And some of them say, well, because all the ones who went to the wrong right dead. I'll say, no, they've done it for the descendants of other groups. Why have

they done it? Fuss?

Because we talk about sovereign citizenship, would we need to correct our status to be freedman in order to you know, try to organize a bit to get reparations because we're not a.

since dropped out. I've spoken with people from Donald Trump's team about that they can bring back the Freeman's Bureau right now. And if they were to do that, those of us who are freemen, we will qualify for programs. So the freeman's status exists, whether they put on the census or not. However, you do make a good point. We do feel that's an issue, like they need to have a way to delineate us from other black groups, like you'll see on there they may have Haitian, you know,

they are black Puerto Ricans. There's black Brazilions, black Panamanians. We need to have something that says that, hey, we are the descendants of those who are emancipated for American slavery. We absolutely do need that. And the other thing I want to get back to how I speak with white South Carolinians when they realize that America spends trillions of dollars all the time, a lot of it on foreign nations, taking care of the legal immigrants on the Pentagon, the

military budget, bailing out corporations. And when I tell them, look at some of these immigrants, legal and ilegal, they send billions of dollars out the country to other nations, their homelands. Freemen, we are Americans. This is our country. This is our country here, this is our home land. We're native to the United States of America. When we get money, it goes right back into this economy here.

A lot of them will say, you know what, I can't argue gainst anything you have said, so a big like what we're doing right now, A lot of things that need to be done on educational and guess what we need to do with our people. We need to have a massive educational initiative because I do think a lot of our people agree reparations. And I do think our allies, like our brothers and sisters, who are true brothers and sisters, because you may have fam members you

don't mess with. I have fam members, I don't mess with. You know, blood is not really thicker than water. Actually, I have FAMI members. I don't mess with. I don't claim. But to our family out there, who may be from Latin America, the Caribbean, the African Continent, Europe, even other parts of the world, to the other black groups out there who are truly our brothers and sisters, they will

support it as well. But I've had people who are aging white people, people who are Native American who have now since supported reparations or they don't argue against it anymore, and they were strongly against it when they first heard it. Because the same way we have misunderstandings about reparations. You can imagine like a white person probably watches like Bright bart or Fox News all day. Even so, there's a lot of educational work that has to be done.

They just spent it. When the Native Americans get their tribal budgets, and some of them get money directly from their tribal governments, no one asks them how they're going to spend it.

have money already when the economy of America crashes. We don't run these airlines, we don't run these banks, we don't run these major housing firms. And yet look, every time the economy crashes is usually because those large corporations have misappropriated and misspit money. It's not black people doing that. Those are usually white Americans who come from families that have good money. So if anyone is terrible with money,

it's usually people who have a lot of it. The people who have been best with money have usually been freemen who have had the least amount of it for a old the most. And here's proof to that, y'all can go right now, Black Americans, freemen, we are the biggest savers with the most rug with our money. I'm not saying we should have to be in order to get our reparations. Even if we were bad with money, we're still old. But the data shows we save more

than almost any other group. And you know another thing I love about us, We are the most charitable. This is proof Black Americans are the most philanthropic. Of all groups we give, we have the least and yet yeah, at the air studies show we give the most of our money to help other people. That's a good thing. That's what I love about us.

So I want to bring back the Freeman's Borough, which will be staffed by US, and the people who are in that part of that agency, who are running it, they will be held accountable by us. My plan calls for bringing having Freemen's Banks, Freeman Hospitals, Freeman Post Office, Freemen's schools. Like listening to Clydburger, which forth we should have Gulagichi schools all throughout the low country. That's something that Kyle Wernk is easy to make the Galla Gichi

or put forth legislation. It may not pass, but you know what you fight for, what you really want. Even if those five times, I'm gonna try five more times, I'm gonna keep trying five digital times. We'll have our own Freeman schools. I call for us to have. I have a Black Wall Street program in mind where I would like to incentivize us to move back to the South, because the South is for those of us who are freemen in America. The South is really like our cultural homeland.

And we will get back to farming because we need to be able to feed ourselves. That's not the only thing, you know, Like look at Ridgeland, look at you know, yah, I see a porky Taligo. A lot of the small towns right in South Carolina. We can make these small towns, we can shake them in our vision. A lot of us leave them and go to places like Atlanta, Charlotte. We can take these small towns and make them into our vision, make them into the black wall streets. That's

what our ancestors did. If they can do it in the eighteen hundreds, we sure can do it now in the twenty twenties. I also want to say, on the point, on the point of money, we start more new businesses than any other group. When those stimulants checks came out, re first of all, was a very small amount of money.

against it. That's why Coreta Scott came. You know, people have don mansw King drip of coredit. Scott came is an icon her own right. She was against mass immigration. She wrote a letter to Congress saying that it would bring down the quality of life for Americans, especially black Americans, said would bring down their wages. Barbara Jordan of Texas, she was against mass immigration. Our ancestors knew, and these

aren't answers, these are just our parents, our grandparents. They knew, and this is the eighties and nineties, that mass immigration was not good for us. Our ancestors knew that we had to be self interested. We can help out these other groups if we choose to. But if they weren't helping us, hell with them. But first and foremost, we had to help ourselves. We have to get back to remembering those things. We cannot be tricked into this whole. We are all one because we're not. These other groups

are not saying that. We're the only ones saying that here we are to the bottom half the least. It ain't no one checking for us once they get theirs right.

much the same. Philosophy is just the social term, you know, it's not a legal term. And what we're saying is we have to delineate we are not as much as I. You know, I have friends from all over. As much as I may like Casians or Jamaicans or whatever, or Trinidadians or Beijians or Ethiopians or Nigeria's or the NaNs or you know, Puerto Ricans or Cubans, they're not me. You may be black from those countries, but you're not black like me. We are different. I am a freeman.

You are not. I am old a particular debt payment from this nation. You are not. If that bothers anyone, then that means you are a problem. Because why I would never go to Cuba and say that Spain owes me something, because of what they've historically done to Cubans. I want to go to Rwanda right now, Rwanda, the Democratic public of Congo. They're saying to Belgium, Belgium, you owe us. I will be extremely out of place if I went to Rwanda and Democratic public of Congo and

start saying how dare y'all. Y'all are divisive? Belgium owes me too. No, I don't. I'm not a Rwanda. I'm not a citizen democratic public of Congo. Even though I moved there and I physically look like some of the people, I still don't have the same claim that they have. Namibia, another African nation, Germany, they're pushing for reparations. They're like nine tribes in Namibia. Two tribes are pushing for reparations

from Germany. Germany paid it to the government. Now the tribe is finding the government saying that money belongs to us. No one's calling those tribes divisive because they didn't think about the seven other tribes. No, because they acknowledged this tribe went through something in particular and they have a special debt that's old to them. So what foundations Black Americans are saying unapologetically is that we are the people

who were crucial in building this nation. We are old by this nation, and we are not going to be forced team and just having a generic black identity, what is black? You know that we're not all black the same. We used to get offended when white people would say, oh, you're just one Nigro, all Nippos. All you see one Nipper, you've seen them all. Imagine that's offensive. Imagine going to a Chinese person saying you're no different from a Korean person.

You're no different from a Chinese person. You're the different a Filipino. They will be offended. So a why do people think it's okay to go to a freeman, a black American and say, oh, you're no different from a Haitian. You're no different from a Colombian. You're no different from a Jamaican. You're no different from a Cameronian Cameroonian. That is offensive. We are not all the same. That doesn't

mean we hate each other. But I'm not apologizing for acknowledging that we are a unique group, what a unique history.

free settlements there. That caused people from South Carolina and Georgia to start feeding down the Florida and that's what led to the yama See or the Gladichi wars. So we are a group that's always stood up and fought for what's old to us, and we've always realized this is a special debt old to us. And that's what financial Black Americans saying that this is our nation. We built it, and we have a special claim that's old

to us, and we love our our allies. What you're not going to do is come here and then you can dictate to us how we are to operate. That's not going to happen period. Right, So.

So I would like to say that it would be easier, but we already have examples right now. We have My mother and father went through Jim Crow went through red lining. I'm sure y'all, there's tens of millions of Black Americans right now, freemen who went through Jim Cored red lining. People know who they are. If it would be easier, they can pay them right now. But the funny thing is slavery was really not that long ago. I don't know.

I have a commercial called Nana. If you follow me on ax, I posted it like last year, you could even just go to my Twitter account and type of Nana. I did a commercial for my nana. Nana Steam Washington Brown, my great grandmother. She died in twenty fifteen at one hundred and one. She was raised by a man who wasn't slaved. His name was Willie Simmons. He was enslaved in Beaufort, South Carolina. Okay, he died like in I think the nineteen twenties. He wasn't slaved. He helped to

raise Nana. Nana helped to raise me. Nana just died fifteen, one hundred and one. So I literally grew up in the same house with a woman who was raised by a man who wasn't slaved. So when people like especially on white people, say, oh, that was a long time ago, it really wasn't. We literally have some people right now, old elders who were who literally grew up at a time where they were surrounded by people who were just formally enslaved and just coming off the plantation. But on

that note, there, you know jd. Vance, the guy Trump picked for vice president. He probably won't admit this now, but In an interview, he said that he saw how white people in his area, you know, those former coal mining areas that are kind of economically depressed. Now, he said, he has seen how the government can cause harm to

entire groups of people. He said, so lately he's been thinking more about reparations that black people, and his words have been calling for, he said, for Jim Crown redlining. So if people want to say, well, let's do reparation for Jim Corn red lining, Okay, yeah, let's do that, I'm still gonna just say that. I'm still gonna fight for the ones from there to slavery. But I'm not gonna stop though, with the one of slavery. You know

why though, because the debt began with slavery. So people like to say, well, black immigrants should be a part of reparations because some of them were here during Jim Coren red lining. Okay, yeah, but they came after the debt was already old. The moment slavery ended in America was the moment America should have paid us. The moment they did it right away, that's from reparations. That's when the debt was old. They just made the debt compound

because they didn't pay us. So people So when some people say, well some black immigrants were here doing germ core in red lining, well, first of all, they chose to come, second of all, and number two deaths. They came, but the debt was already old to us. They came after the debt had already began and it was just starting to compound because America has yet to pay us. I mean, I say, one more thing we gotta lose. This defeats mentality too. That's another reason why yet we

people say that ain't never going to happen. Anyone who says that they are freemen, you are an embarrassment to yourself. You're an embarrassment. They told our people slavery will never They said, this is how it's going to be. Slavery's not going to end. Get over it. And we fought back, and slavery ended. They said Jim Crow would never end, and Jim Crow ended. We're still going to the legacy of Jim Crow. But it did end. So any freeman out there saying we're never gonna get reparations and you

are of the lineage, that's an embarrassment. You ought to be ashamed. Of yourself. So what do we do?

and fight to get it passed. People may say it what, it's never going to pass. No, it's never going to pass. We have even bringing up the pass. We have to get people in office in power. But my mother told me, and my father told me too, you're skipping an important step. You have to educate people. And at first I thought, Okay, no, no, no no, somebody just gotta run for office. I gotta win and I'll get up there.

to go. Number Two, we need to consider running for office, or at least being on teams of people who are running for office and pushing them in the direction whatever going to stand up for us. Number Three, if people are not standing up for we need to call them out. You know, one of the things that put me on people's radar originally before I even thought about running, was I confronted James Clyburn. I confronted him about his majority

black district having the highest eviction rate. North Charleston has the highest e victory rate in America. Black women are the most likely to be put out on this street. James Clyburn's district has one of the lowest wages in America. It has one of the highest percentages of people making just seven dollars fifty cents per hour to almost any other place in America. We have issues with clean water

in North Charleston. Again, Florence, South Carolina didn't mark South Carolina places that have issues with water quality his district. We all know about the Corridor of Shame where I live. That's a network of poor, majority black rural communities where the quality of education is awful and the level of poverty is sky high.

also slave hunters and they were bruted. James Cliburn when he first got into office, he had a reparations bill passed for them, and the bill says for them to get special protections, recognition, justice, and rights.

They're stumping hard for illegal immigrants. Okay, when that shooting happened in Atlanta, that was really some weird guy going to some ASI and he was sitting there calling for that Asian hate crime Bell. They'd like to say it wasn't just an asient. Yes, the hell that was. That's who they did it.

We need to be saying, Hey, hold on, how dare you advocate for aging to get special protection but your own people have been a lynch gun now and mascolized nation for centuries and we don't have a single bill specifically for us. How dare you advocate for the Gataba navor Americans who are forming enslavers to get reparations but

the freemen and yes they are, Yes, there are. How did he do the video with viral and someone is not that account is seriously got banned from Twitter, so I started this one that I have now, but the video is still floating around. He pretty much responded with some emotional language about these are my ancestors too, and don't you dare question that these are my answers. Emotionalism.

You know how they say what lawyers do when they're losing an argument, They pound the table, they get emotional to try to distract from the fact that they lost the argument. That's what he did. But I wouldn't let him do it. And I kept pressing them about how his record of advocating for all these other groups but not advocating for us, And I pressed them about how desperately poor his majority black district is, which is why a lot of black people are leaving his district.

them in their own advancement. They don't do it for our advancement. And that's the problem right there. I haven't gained a single thing from this. Matter of fact, I've suffered some backlashes, but I'm finding back obviously. But I knew even who it was going through it, even when I have had. My MO was a discouragement that I'm not doing it for me. I'm doing it for us. And let me be very clear, I can't stand a

lot of us. I'm going to be very very clear, but it's not about whether I like us or not. It's about love of the justice and what has not been done for us. And I can't say I truly love justice where my own people have yet to get it, and I'm going around here looking out for myself. That's not right.

So I'm trying to get the word out so if anyone belaves the nation, I'll be great. But also on Twitter, which is Marcel the number four Congress, and you can find a lot of my videos on there before I ran for office. Now that I'm running for office, you can just see a lot of my advocacy and a lot of my educational work, because truth be told, that's really what this is. This is really an educational work. You educate people, to motivate people, to activate people.
