  1. The question here is what makes a good biographical film in modernity?  Respect is structurally in the same model as biographical pictures from the 1960s and before. Starting in the 1970s with films like coal miners daughter, the biographical film became more tell all, more telenovela. Fans plus non fans liked paying for tickets to know all the details. The genious aretha show fits that modern model. Respect doesn't. But it is interesting, the word respect means to look again. From that view, Genious aretha is speculative, while Respect is respeculative. And I think that is what aretha wanted. 
    You forgot to mention that they performed all the songs in the film. That is interesting. I think that reflects aretha franklins musicality, as someone who believed in the artists fine tuning themselves and making their craft, not using mechanical aids or copies or manipulations. 
    So, Respect is what Aretha franklin wants, a second look, a more traditional look, a less gossipy look at her life. 
    As for me, I want no public book or film or series or anything about my life, no matter what I do.

  2. The question is, if in the year 2023 various people, multiphenotypical,  are calling for an end to slavery in prisons then when Black people like me said slavery wasn't over, and other black people said we were incorrect... who was wrong? 

    And moreover, what does it mean for the over one hundred and fifty years of black people in the usa, post war between the states, most of whom are the most financially affluent in the black community in the usa, who kept calling and still call other black people lazy when the black community has been herded by white governments into slavery post the thirteenth amendment? 

    For most people the issue is ending the allowance of slavery in the usa, and I comprehend the importance, but I think the black community in the usa has a bigger issue. That being the role of the black one percent, the black employed. It is clear that the black communities employed class, in majority not all, are complicit in the crime of aiding or abetting the falsehood that slavery ended? The falsehood that the black community  in the usa was not oppressed by the white  community in the usa? Every single state in the union that had a black populace, southern or northern, is led by a white community that herded the local black community into prisons for over one hundred and fifty years. But alongside the fifty white communities actions was an ever growing black financial elite who blamed the black majority for being herded into slavery post the thirteenth amendment... isn't that a crime? 

    How do black people incarcerate black people for their crimes against the black community when the white legal system doesn't have an allowance for it?

  3. The question is, in over one hundred and fifty years since the end of the war between the states, why haven't ADOs formed their own party of governance in the usa? let's be blunt, black people have heavily voted for the elephants and the donkeys and had voters of the less liked party of governance throughout 1865 to now. 

    But let us cut out black donkeys or black elephants or black folks who advocate either. Then you have the black advocates who never supported the donkeys or elephants while they never supported a black party of governance? I am think garvey/malcolm/fannie lou hamer. 

    What does it lead to? Direct democracy. When I sum up the history of ADOS in the USA it is clear that the only functional solution based on black leaders actions in the usa from 1865 to now is for a black party of governance BUT of one based on direct democracy and I think that has been the complication. 

    What we all forget is that no law exists on how a party of governance is supposed to be structured or designed in the usa. BUT ,  all too often, and this goes to all populaces in the usa, the design of a party does not have to be like the elephants or donkeys and  i think that is part of the problem with the ADOS. If the Black ADOS  are to have a party of governance, because of the population distribution of Black ADOS in the usa , the relationship to the bureaucracy of ADOS, the internal demographics of the usa, the internal variances of the black populace which includes way more non ADOS  than ever before  a black ados party of governance or black party of governance can't be structured or designed like the elephants or donkeys. 

     

    for the forum post

     

    my comment on the post

    I have publicly said this myself, in this very forum, many times. 

    The only things i can add that I have't said before are: 

    1. I can't recall any black person , very popular or highly active in the government, promoting a black party of governance... meaning whether back people advocate the elephants or the donkeys or independent none say black party of governance so... what unite these three groups who tend to speak ill of each other but are all assured in no black party of governance. Black independents talk about voting issue by issue, cycle by cycle, but never a black party. Black elephants even when the party of abraham lincoln does clearly anti black things never thinks to break  off. Black donkeys even when the party of andrew jackson does clearly anti black things never thinks to break off. so... conspiracy maybe, but clearly something unites those three groups all of whom tend to be financially of the most wealthy black folks

    2. I think I haven't seen one quality attempt at a third party in the usa, and i think two things have to be said. First the donkeys + elephants will work together to stop a consistent third party from forming. Too fe admit this, like the elephants or donkeys want another player, they don't. Second, I do think the structure/design/demographic strategy of a third party,any third party has to be more respected. I recall the reform party. It had two problems at the end. It became too beholden to the elephants. and second, it realize how to focus on the places its won and simply be content. I do think the infatuation with the presidency and third parties is a problem overall. The black populace of the usa isn't demographically even everywhere so any functional party of governance for black people in the usa can't be a federal wide party. I jus tthink that is a simple truth that gets lost or not admitted enough. So accepting these things, a black party of governance can't be shaped/structured/designed like the elephants or donkeys. And I think that is part of the problem.

  5. The Scientific Case for Two Spaces After a Period
    A new study proves that half of people are correct. The other is also correct.

    This is a time of much division. Families and communities are splintered by polarizing narratives. Outrage surrounds geopolitical discourse—so much so that anxiety often becomes a sort of white noise, making it increasingly difficult to trigger intense, acute anger. The effect can be desensitizing, like driving 60 miles per hour and losing hold of the reality that a minor error could result in instant death.

    One thing that apparently still has the power to infuriate people, though, is how many spaces should be used after a period at the end of an English sentence.

    The war is alive again of late because a study that came out this month from Skidmore College. The study is, somehow, the first to look specifically at this question. It is titled: “Are Two Spaces Better Than One? The Effect of Spacing Following Periods and Commas During Reading.”

    It appears in the current issue of the journal Attention, Perception, and Psychophysics. As best I can tell, psychophysics is a word; the Rochester Institute of Technology defines it as the “study of the relationship between stimuli (specified in physical terms) and the sensations and perceptions evoked by these stimuli.” The researchers are also real. Rebecca Johnson, an associate professor in Skidmore’s department of psychology, led the team. Her expertise is in the cognitive processes underlying reading. As Johnson told me, “Our data suggest that all readers benefit from having two spaces after periods.”

    “Increased spacing has been shown to help facilitate processing in a number of other reading studies,” Johnson explained to me by email, using two spaces after each period. “Removing the spaces between words altogether drastically hurts our ability to read fluently, and increasing the amount of space between words helps us process the text.”

    In the Skidmore study, among people who write with two spaces after periods—“two-spacers”—there was an increase in reading speed of 3 percent when reading text with two spaces following periods, as compared to one. This is, Johnson points out, an average of nine additional words per minute above their performance “under the one-space conditions.”

    This is a small difference, though if a change like this saved even a tiny amount of time, or prevented a tiny amount of miscommunication, the net benefit across billions of people could be enormous. Entire economies could be made or broken, wars won or lost.

    Or so it would seem. The conclusions she drew from that data pushed people into their corners on social media, where they dealt with it in variously intense ways.

    Justin Wolfers, a professor of economics and public policy at the University of Michigan, tweeted in reference to the study: “Science can blow your mind sometimes, and this time it has come down on the side of two spaces after a period.”

    Nicholas Christakis, a professor at Yale University, wrote: “Hurray! Science vindicates my longstanding practice, learned at age 12, of using TWO SPACES after periods in text. NOT ONE SPACE. Text is easier to read that way. Of course, on Twitter, I use one space, given 280 characters.”

    There’s a lot going on in that tweet, but you get the idea.

    Others were less ecstatic. Robert VerBruggen, the deputy managing editor at National Review, shared the study with the comment: “New facts forced me to change my mind about drug legalization but I just don’t think I can do this.”

    My colleague Ian Bogost tweeted simply, “This is terrorism.”

    Full disclosure: I also shared a screenshot of the study’s conclusion that “the eye-movement record suggested that initial processing of the text was facilitated when periods were followed by two spaces.” I said about this only, “Oh no.”

    I find two spaces after a period unsettling, like seeing a person who never blinks or still has their phone’s keyboard sound effects on. I plan to teach my kids never to reply to messages from people who put two spaces after a period. I want this study’s conclusion to be untrue—to uncover some error in the methodology, or some scandal that discredits the researchers or the university or the entire field of psychophysics.

    So let’s look for that. Because this really does matter: In a time of greater and greater screen time, and more and more consumption of media, how do we optimize the information-delivery process?

    In much the same way that we’re taught to write in straight lines from left to right, most of us have been taught that one way of spacing is simply right, and the other is wrong. Less often are we taught to question the standard—whether it makes sense, or whether it should change. But what is the value of education if not to teach children to question the status quo, and to act in deliberate ways that they can justify with sound, rational arguments?

    Such an argument is extremely difficult to make when it comes to sentence spacing, because the evidence is not there for either case. The fact that the scientifically optimal number of spaces hasn’t been well studied was odd to Johnson, given the strength of people’s feelings on the subject. The new American Psychological Association style guidelines came out recently, and they had changed from one space to two spaces following periods because they claimed it “increased the readability of the text.” This galled Johnson: “Here we had a manual written to teach us how to write scientifically that was making claims that were not backed with empirical evidence!”

    She was intrigued and designed the new study “to add some scientific data to the conversation.”

    Her rationale for two spaces gets complex—verging into the domain of rather high-level psychophysical theory (email me). As the researchers explain it, it’s all about mechanics of the eye, and what causes us to trip up or pause, even for a split second. In the current study, when text was presented with two spaces after periods, some readers’ eyes were more likely to jump over the “punctuation region” and spend less unnecessary time fixated on it. The extra space seemed to make it easier for readers to “extract the lines and curves from the text.” The space also comes into the periphery of one’s vision before it arrives, and that helps to signal that the sentence is wrapping up.

    The Skidmore study was small and less than definitive—essentially dipping a toe into a long-unquestioned practice. There were only 60 subjects, and they were all college students—meaning they were probably more interested in “hooking up” and “Snapchat” than actually reading. (Ed.: This is too much editorializing, apologies.)

    Most importantly, the effects appeared early in processing, and spacing did not affect overall comprehension. And that’s what reading is all about, no? The fact that our eyes may move a little faster is less important than whether the concepts make it into our brains.

    “It’s not like people COULDN’T understand the text when only one space was used after the periods,” Johnson said. “The [human] reading system is pretty flexible, and we can comprehend written material regardless of whether it is narrowly or widely spaced.”

    Angela Chen at The Verge also gave a pointed critique of the methodology:

    The two-space convention is left over from the days of typewriters. Typewriters allot the same amount of space for every character, so a narrow character like i gets as much as a wider character like w. (This is called a mono-spaced font.) With a typewriter, it makes sense to add an extra space to make it clear that the sentence has ended. Today’s word-processing software makes fonts proportional, though, which is why we only need one space. Also, it looks better. The Chicago Manual of Style and the Modern Language Association Style Manual also take this stance.

    “I’ve gotten a lot of flak for using a mono-spaced font (Courier New) in the study,” said Johnson. Her defense is that most eye-tracking studies use monospaced fonts, and that many word-processing systems still, in practice, act like typewriters (in that they don’t add additional space between sentences even when using proportional fonts; to increase the amount of space between sentences relative to the amount of space between any two words within the sentence, two physical spaces are still needed following the period). “Although I agree that future research should look at these effects using other types of fonts, research in this area suggests that font differences in general are small or nonexistent.”

    Even in the studies where researchers have removed interword spaces altogether, reading comprehension is still very high. For example, Thai and Chinese are typically written without spaces between words, even though studies have found that when space is added between words, reading speed increases. The standard comes down to aesthetics, tradition, conservation of paper and space—basically, the fact that reading is an act of much more than information delivery.

    I’ve written before about the effect of color gradients on reading, and how it goes against the findings of science that our words should be in a single color, usually black and usually on a near-white background, and usually presented in lines of a certain length. This is all a matter of tradition and style, not optimal information transfer. This standard does not work well for everyone. It’s why I thought, for a long time, that I didn’t like books. I wasn’t good at the mechanics of reading. When I found text-to-speech programs and actual audiobooks, it was like finally seeing the turtle in one of those Magic Eye posters that everyone else at the party saw hours ago.

    All of this is to say that if we really wanted to do evidence-based delivery of text for maximum comprehension, it wouldn’t be like debating one space or two. It would look totally different: words spewing into your face by some sort of torrent that syncs with feedback about your perception, and slows or pauses when you are distracted, and speeds up when you are bored.

    Still, this has been a good exercise in challenging beliefs, at least for me. What is important is that this question not be what breaks us—that Americans remember that we are united by the ideals of democracy, freedom, liberty, and justice that we still hold dear, and which demand our allegiance above any person or party or spacing issue.

    MY RESPONSE

    As a writer I used and use grammatical techniques that are uncommon; I received and receive negative commentary in response to said use. But, what is the most potent issue? The most potent issue isn't who is right or wrong. The most potent issue is fear of no norm/standard. I find many people in various arenas are standardphiles or standard fanatics. 

    I give the following examples: a sports team succeeds in lifting a trophy using a strategy deemed outdated, a writer composes a story that buyers embrace that doesn't utilize common expectations for characters, a person lives comfortably while not acting to the life script all others have around them. 

    The problem isn't right or wrong, it is the fear of not being able to say who is right or wrong. This fear is huge. When a person whose forebears were enslaved in the usa to whites, says kill whites/kill the usa. The normal /standard response by most blacks or whites in the usa living at the time of this writing is something negative, around the terms: shame on you, you know better, judge individually, we are all family. But what if.... they are allowed? Notice I didn't say right or wrong. What if the condemnation is wrong ?  It isn't an issue of opinions but applied opinion. Applied opinion breeds consensus , creates the standards or norms. 

    All know this. But how big is africa? who is american? who are immigrants to the usa? who are white? Absent applied opinion, the peer pressure is gone, and people are freer to do as they want, even against a majority as individuals. 

    To writing, it doesn't spell the end of literature, but spells the end of critiques. Judgement requires laws which are attempts as an enforced standard or norm, which themselves are built on applied opinions. 

    The reaction in the article from others is the purest example. They fear someone not caring what they say, and being surrounded by others who don't care too. 

    Thus, the individualism, at least in the usa,  becomes true, not the mirror of white european descended, pan religious, empowerment that it is.

  13. THOUGHTS

    The reality is the modern immigrant populace like all the other populaces in the usa has splits. These splits are complicated. And the first two speakers, one is indios the other is negro, enither are what anyone in latin america will calla  blanco/white. 

    Ndagire makes a point, Tom Homan is looking to kick folks out. He purely implied he will kick out whole clans or families regardless of status. 

    Mahoganylovely is correct, in that the modern immigrant populace, all phenotypes, embraced white people's favor.

    rapists and murderers killers and

    0:18

    garbage and scum and the worst they're

    0:20

    sending their worst over here he's

    0:23

    talking about you too and me because to

    0:27

    him we're all the

    0:28

    same if he was walking down the street

    0:30

    and he saw you and one of the people

    0:32

    that had just crossed the border he

    0:34

    wouldn't be able to tell you AP part and

    0:35

    to him it doesn't make a difference

    0:37

    we're all the same they don't care they

    0:40

    just want to get rid of the immigrants

    0:42

    and I don't know if you know this or not

    0:44

    but there's a man named step Miller

    0:46

    that's probably going to be on Trump's

    0:48

    cabinet he's going to be one of his

    0:49

    cabinet members and he's going to be in

    0:51

    charge of the deportation actions right

    0:56

    and that man Steven

    0:58

    Miller wants to change the laws so that

    1:01

    they can take away

    1:04

    naturalization you think that that piece

    1:06

    of paper that you have if you have it if

    1:08

    you've become a naturalized citizen you

    1:09

    think that piece of paper makes you

    1:11

    different but in their eyes you're not

    1:13

    different I was born here and I'm not

    1:16

    different to them to those people the

    1:18

    way they think I'm just like all the

    1:20

    rest of them to them I'm the same so

    1:23

    that piece of paper is not going to save

    1:25

    you and they're trying to make laws now

    1:28

    they're in the process of figuring out

    1:30

    what they have to do to change the law

    1:32

    to take away that naturalization

    1:34

    citizenship they're also looking into

    1:36

    taking away natural born citizens people

    1:40

    who came

    1:41

    here and had kids here that were born

    1:44

    here they're looking to take that away

    1:46

    as well unless you were born here to

    1:49

    Legal citizens that's the only way

    1:52

    you're going to get to stay if they have

    1:54

    their

    1:55

    way now there were thousands of people

    1:58

    on Tik Tok trying to warn you about that

    2:00

    what that man really was I was on

    2:03

    here not not making videos but I was on

    2:06

    here making posting comments and texting

    2:08

    people and talking to people on here and

    2:10

    trying to get them to understand who

    2:11

    that man really is but y'all chose to

    2:14

    ignore it I don't know what it is you

    2:16

    thought you were accomplishing by voting

    2:18

    for that man you think that oh they're

    2:19

    going to see you as an equal or you know

    2:21

    they're going to treat you like a white

    2:22

    man or whatever no you [ __ ]

    2:26

    up they're going to get you out of here

    2:28

    all they wanted was your vote they got

    2:30

    it now they don't need you anymore and

    2:32

    they're looking to get you out of here

    2:35

    right now I don't know how they're going

    2:37

    to do that maybe somebody in his cabinet

    2:40

    can convince him hey it's not a good

    2:42

    idea to deport these people they're a

    2:44

    big portion of our Workforce and if we

    2:46

    Deport them the economy is going to go

    2:47

    to [ __ ] I don't know maybe they can

    2:49

    convince him and if they do we're lucky

    2:51

    you but if they don't you are the prime

    2:54

    target and you voted for it even though

    2:58

    we tried to warn you

    3:00

    so anything that happens to you it's

    3:02

    you're going to get I have no sympathy

    3:09

    for you you know for all of you who

    3:10

    didn't vote for him I'm sorry that

    3:13

    you're going to have to go through this

    3:15

    I I truly am

    3:16

    sorry and that's my message to the

    3:18

    Latinos for Trump as a Latino I've never

    3:21

    been more embarrassed and more

    3:22

    disappointed in the Latin Community for

    3:25

    even voting or thinking of voting for

    3:27

    Trump voting against your own self

    3:29

    interest is is counterproductive it's

    3:32

    insane to me like y' y'all don't make no

    3:35

    sense what's not clicking and let's be

    3:37

    very serious Latinos voted for Trump

    3:40

    because they want to be as close to

    3:42

    whiteness as possible because they are

    3:44

    anti-black it's because of the

    3:46

    internalized racism it's because of the

    3:48

    pure out not even internalized it's for

    3:50

    the for the out outward racism that's

    3:53

    really mainly what it was and let's not

    3:54

    forget the misogyny of it all let's not

    3:56

    forget that because one thing a Latina

    3:59

    woman is going to do is going to put her

    4:01

    man her son her any male figure in the

    4:04

    Latin Community up on the pedestal with

    4:07

    ease with ease and that's exactly what

    4:09

    the Latino men thrive on the women

    4:13

    always putting them up on a pedestal and

    4:15

    that's really the sad part about it

    4:17

    because there is no reason why they

    4:19

    should have been voting for Trump at all

    4:22

    at all I'm disappointed I'm disappointed

    4:24

    today and and I'm just so disappointed

    4:27

    as you've seen in the video that is why

    4:29

    people had to say and I must say that

    4:31

    this message can also go to the African

    4:33

    people you know I would say that I'm not

    4:36

    like mad about what you know happened in

    4:39

    the elections because I would rather see

    4:42

    someone that is true to themselves than

    4:45

    someone that just pretends to be for

    4:47

    people that they have been governing and

    4:50

    not changed anything for if that makes

    4:52

    sense but then as African people we need

    4:54

    to also understand that we have our

    4:56

    people that we bring with you know

    5:00

    our existence in the US we have our

    5:03

    aunties we have our sisters our family

    5:05

    members that come through other programs

    5:07

    or whatsoever for them to be able to

    5:09

    leave in the US so when there's a mass

    5:12

    deportations guys we should not feel

    5:14

    like oh it's only about these other

    5:16

    groups of people like we Africans are

    5:18

    safe guys it's for everybody it's so

    5:20

    serious that I saw this interview of the

    5:22

    man they put in charge of deportation or

    5:24

    the borders Holland if I'm not mistaken

    5:26

    where he said if you don't want to be

    5:28

    separated from your people and like you

    5:30

    love your aunt or your sister your

    5:31

    brother too much they are willing to

    5:34

    also Deport you even if you hold a US

    5:36

    citizenship card like can you understand

    5:40

    that that they are willing to even like

    5:42

    Deport you US citizens to go with their

    5:45

    families if they don't want to be

    5:46

    separated that's why I was like oh this

    5:49

    is this is actually very very serious

    5:51

    like it's a serious problem and this man

    5:53

    did not come to play like it's crazy

    5:56

    guys listen to what you had to say is

    5:58

    there a way to carry out Mass

    5:59

    deportation without separating

    6:02

    families of course there

    6:04

    is families can be deported together you

    6:07

    realize that when he says yes families

    6:09

    can be deported together what he is

    6:11

    saying is that US citizens can be

    6:14

    deported what he is saying is if the

    6:17

    parent is undocumented and they have US

    6:20

    citizen children or US citizen spouse or

    6:23

    they and and you don't want to separate

    6:25

    them then let's let's Deport the US

    6:27

    citizens um look Donald Trump won the

    6:30

    electoral vote he won he's going to win

    6:32

    the house he won the senate for all

    6:35

    effects and purposes he's got the

    6:36

    Supreme Court they've given him immunity

    6:39

    this is what the country voted for this

    6:42

    is you know a lot of people thought that

    6:43

    when he talked about Mass deportations

    6:46

    he wasn't being serious I don't know how

    6:48

    many times he had to say it for people

    6:50

    to realize he was being serious well if

    6:52

    you thought he wasn't being serious the

    6:54

    appointment of Tom homman today as

    6:57

    border Shar and he will be in charge of

    7:00

    a mass deportation program the largest

    7:02

    the country has ever seen they say and

    7:05

    now Steven Miller as Deputy Chief of

    7:07

    Staff should let you know that he was

    7:09

    absolutely serious and when you talk

    7:12

    about Mass deportations people think oh

    7:14

    it's just going to be the the the

    7:15

    criminals there's not enough criminals

    7:18

    uh aliens in the federal prison system

    7:21

    for it to be Mass deportations what it

    7:24

    means is grandmothers what it means is

    7:26

    brothers and aunts what it means is our

    7:30

    AAS it means dreamers it means your

    7:33

    family members it means your your

    7:35

    colleagues it means your friends it

    7:37

    means people who are part of the society

    7:40

    and look America you know those of you

    7:42

    who voted for Trump this is what you

    7:45

    wanted this is what you voted for you

    7:47

    screwed around and you're about to find

    7:49

    out somebody said oh I don't know why

    7:52

    black people laughing at Latinos and

    7:54

    Hispanics because if he gets away with

    7:56

    this whole deportation situation and he

    7:58

    will uh black people in the community is

    8:00

    affected too everybody all of y'all are

    8:03

    going to be M laughing until your

    8:04

    Jamaican grandma is gone away everybody

    8:06

    laughing when the black community is

    8:07

    filled of black immigrants as well and

    8:09

    stuff like

    8:12

    that okay first let me just say this

    8:14

    black people aren't laughing at Latinos

    8:16

    because we want something bad to happen

    8:18

    to them now we're not laughing at

    8:19

    Hispanics because we are pleased with

    8:21

    negative things happening to them or

    8:23

    Their Fear one black people laugh to

    8:25

    keep the pain away and black people are

    8:28

    funny as [ __ ] I'm not I'm not going to

    8:29

    hold you cuz some of the jokes is

    8:30

    [ __ ] hilarious that's just one y

    8:31

    already know we funny as [ __ ] two black

    8:34

    people are laughing cuz we

    8:35

    knew like I want yall to understand

    8:38

    something and I understand that y' might

    8:39

    not y' may not like it and you may not

    8:41

    even receive it because it's a black

    8:42

    woman telling you this and we know how y

    8:44

    feel about black women y' don't never

    8:45

    listen to this

    8:48

    but he's he has a hyper focus on certain

    8:50

    people for a reason and that reason

    8:52

    really is because in my belief YT people

    8:57

    never cared about anybody else but black

    8:59

    people

    9:00

    why see people in America see things as

    9:03

    black and white this country has always

    9:06

    been black and white to them and all the

    9:08

    rest of y'all in between that's how they

    9:10

    felt about y'all I know y'all fought so

    9:12

    hard to not being the shadows of black

    9:13

    people don't treat me like them I'm not

    9:15

    one of them I'm not black I'm Hispanic

    9:16

    I'm Latino don't do that like that I'm

    9:18

    not a I'm not a minority I want to be

    9:20

    the model minority whatever it was

    9:21

    that's fine that's cool because

    9:22

    everybody deserves their own identity

    9:23

    and I respect that we understand that

    9:25

    nonetheless y people never care in my

    9:27

    prediction y people want to get this

    9:29

    country back to its original form to

    9:32

    make America great again right and the

    9:34

    original form was it was black people

    9:36

    Native Americans and white people that

    9:37

    was it none of y'all over here none of

    9:39

    y'all on the plantation with us YT

    9:42

    people see minorities as support for

    9:44

    black people black people now know

    9:45

    better you all were able to come over

    9:47

    here into this country and live a life

    9:50

    of semi luxury in comparison to US you

    9:53

    all were able to get benefits and

    9:55

    privileges off of The Backs because of

    9:57

    us YT people gave you adjacency they

    10:00

    gave you the model minority they gave

    10:01

    you a little bit more acceptance they

    10:03

    gave you better treatment not because

    10:04

    they liked you not because they

    10:05

    respected you not because they seen you

    10:06

    as equal but it was to spite black

    10:08

    people you came in here on a higher uh

    10:12

    having a higher stance in the the poll

    10:14

    or hierarchy poll because of black

    10:16

    people one black people fought for the

    10:18

    right for you to even get over here and

    10:19

    benefit from things that's one in one of

    10:21

    the main important situations and like I

    10:23

    said because two white people wanted to

    10:25

    [ __ ] black people this is a fight

    10:27

    between white America and Black America

    10:29

    a got nothing to do with y'all so when

    10:30

    black people are laughing in the sense

    10:33

    we're laughing because there's no gotcha

    10:35

    moment over here with us see a group of

    10:37

    people that knew that they would be in

    10:39

    danger if these people won there's no

    10:42

    gotcha moment we knew this the laughter

    10:44

    comes from you all that didn't the

    10:46

    laughter unfortunately behind some of us

    10:48

    comes because you all are experiencing a

    10:51

    Goa moment the Goa moment for you all is

    10:53

    you all believing that if you chose them

    10:55

    that you would be in favor you all

    10:58

    believing that you were going to escape

    11:01

    or or rise above or soore above the

    11:03

    trauma that everybody like us black

    11:06

    people were going to receive the got

    11:07

    your moment was that you thought or that

    11:09

    you let them convince you constantly

    11:11

    that if you aligned yourself with

    11:13

    them that you would be safe and the fact

    11:17

    is is that they convinced you that

    11:19

    having privilege over rights was better

    11:22

    that's what you voted for you voted for

    11:23

    privilege over rights and now they're

    11:26

    here taking your [ __ ] rights away so

    11:28

    you don't receive any privilege you see

    11:29

    how that [ __ ] goes black people have

    11:31

    been telling you to follow us for the

    11:32

    longest we've been carrying everything

    11:34

    on our shoulders and leading you for the

    11:35

    longest all you had to do beside with us

    11:38

    and you continue to live the level of

    11:39

    comfort that you've been living out here

    11:40

    in America off the backs of us out of

    11:43

    the spite for us that they can't stand

    11:45

    us white people have always hyper

    11:46

    focused on black people he ain't got no

    11:48

    beef with Jamaica he ain't got no beef

    11:50

    with Trinidad and Tobago he ain't got no

    11:51

    beef with Grenada Bahamas Barbados dks

    11:54

    andos uh C is he don't [ __ ] about them

    11:58

    even though he talked a little about he

    11:59

    don't give a [ __ ] about them either he

    12:01

    don't give a [ __ ] about Ghana Nigeria

    12:03

    Sierra Le he don't give a [ __ ] about

    12:05

    none of them he's not focused on them my

    12:07

    prediction again YT people would want

    12:10

    more black people here because they want

    12:12

    to benefit off of our labor they want to

    12:14

    benefit off of our culture they want to

    12:16

    benefit off of us and just completely

    12:18

    harass and harm us they don't care so

    12:20

    they need you out of the way remember

    12:23

    when Trump said that immigrants was

    12:25

    taking black jobs you think that he

    12:27

    wants to remove us no he wants to remove

    12:31

    you all who are receiving a level of

    12:34

    privilege above black people black

    12:36

    people still not only had to fight our

    12:37

    way to get into places because of YT

    12:39

    people we had to fight to get our places

    12:41

    because y'all were getting some level of

    12:43

    favor over us even though you were here

    12:44

    and reaping the benefits off of us so

    12:47

    now not only do they not have to go in

    12:49

    competition with the model minority

    12:51

    Asian not only do they have to not go in

    12:52

    competition with the the the Latino not

    12:56

    only do they not have to go into

    12:57

    competition with the Middle Eastern they

    12:59

    only have to go into competition with us

    13:00

    black people and if they are majority in

    13:02

    the power you already know what they're

    13:03

    going to do they're going to overpower

    13:04

    us and now those jobs that were black

    13:07

    jobs can go right back to us we can go

    13:09

    back to having the low paining jobs they

    13:11

    can kick us out of the executive

    13:12

    positions and the high positions that we

    13:14

    had to work 10 times as harder to get

    13:16

    you only had to work four times as

    13:17

    harder to get and they'll be back in

    13:20

    alignment them at the top us at the

    13:22

    bottom and nobody challenging them in

    13:24

    the middle so I want you to have that

    13:27

    understanding YT people never car about

    13:29

    about y'all in between y'all were just

    13:31

    there I'm sorry to tell you the truth

    13:33

    it's actually funny seeing that these

    13:35

    other groups of people feel like they

    13:36

    are more favored with the white systems

    13:40

    which doesn't make sense cuz at the end

    13:41

    of the day every system everything that

    13:43

    is set up is still going to affect you

    13:46

    like in one way or the other you're

    13:47

    still going to be like your people are

    13:49

    still going to be deported because

    13:51

    you're part of the system like it just

    13:53

    doesn't make sense guys but you know

    13:55

    that is it for me in the video guys let

    13:56

    me know what you think about this yeah

    13:58

    14:00

    14:03
