he says, there was a fight, a black and white inmate, the black guy won the fight. and even though the guy put up a good fight, the guards then said to the white inmates, men that black really dusted the white dude. i thought you white dudes could fight better that the guard said that because they hope to start another and quote and. another interesting point along these lines is that a man that was also incarcerated in san quentin who self-identified as a nazi actually the sect that would originally combine with bikers to form the aryan brotherhood in san quentin. so he mind that the officers were helping he he felt that officers were justified in supplying incarcerated white people for example with street knives. versus other groups or having to little shanks to defend themselves. he felt like this was a good system for them because if was not for their alliance with officers in their shared mission to declare war on the black population and to suppress the civil rights movement within california, the aryan brotherhood wouldn't have been able to form it wouldn't h

in crossing over that to black officers commanding black troops during the civil war.we are reminded the celebration of this great nation that each of us count and that united we stand and divided. we are surely faithful for the civil war. this battle are significant reminders us how much america has changed and evolved during those 160 years. yet through that enormous transformation. the principles enunciated so elegantly and so simply in the words of the gettysburg address, as an aspiration for our nation, remain a constant. the battle was fought reminds us of the immense distance. as a nation we have traveled from a circumstance in 1864 where a black officer, black troops being commanded by a black officer such as lieutenant patrick minor was a novelty to the present time of a black officer. general colin powell. general who studied just up the river at the staffing command college, fort leavenworth, commanded international force under american leadership in an overwhelming military victory, a victory where the unimagined knowable feat that no casualties were sustai

particularly in black america. host: is it your christian faith that drives you alone, or is it also a political philosophy? guest: i would say my christian faith drives my political philosophy. without that, you know, god has been so good to me and so good to all of us. no, you live in the united states of america, where billions of people from all over the world want to be here. just in that alone we should be thankful and grateful, but it is definitely my commitment and passion for our lord and savior jesus christ that drives me. and that drives my political beliefs. because my conservative values have not always been there. just like my faith had not always been strong. so, i want to see young people across this nation with a fear of god again, because what is happening in our culture, all of the confusion, and just look at the numbers. look at the dropout rates. 71% of kids that drop out of high school are fatherless. were five times more likely to live in poverty if you are fatherless. so, the numbers are the

but the focus on black and native youth is because there's a very particular role that black people and indigenous people play in terms of the the history of these united states. right. and there are you know, the united states continues to be an imperialist country. and people from all over the world end up here sometimes by choice, sometimes pursuing the american dream, but also sometimes displaced by other forms of global colonialism and imperialist violence. but that being said, this specific position of land theft, bodily theft and these forms of extreme violence are playing a particular role as the foundation upon which the nation is built. and so i think that it's worth taking some time to pay attention to that. and that's what this book tries to do right? right. so wanting to delve into the driving thesis of the book a little further, you break down the ways in which this sort of hierarchical sorting, this oppression occurs into three. there are three main ways this happens right? describe what are those three means? and how how do they happen? sure. so i call these pillars. the

guest: he is the godfather of black scuba diving. some people say -- they say this, that john christo is the white dr. albert jose jones. [laughter] i don't think any of us -- i wouldn't be here if not for ken. ken wouldn't be here if not for dr. jones. we call him doc jones. he was in the army. that is where he learned how to scuba dive. he is a brilliant man. also a fulbright scholar. he is just a brilliant individual. and he was really interested in marine biology, which is what he has his phd in. but back in the army, he learned how to scuba dive, and this was back in the 1950's. and back then, people didn't really want to dive with him because he was a black man. so, he had the foresight to think, what if i create a space where other people -- because i know there are other black people who would be interested in scuba diving, so what if i create a space that is safe and that allows us to buddy up with each other and explore the ocean? because there are a lot of folks who want to explore the ocean. so, he is the founder, the cof

that's why i say it's black when it's woke, it's black. blm is black. it is a slick way for them to then not necessarily deal with the n word, not necessarily to deal with blackness, but they're doing it through dei. and then every other marginalized group is then hurt by it. >> but just give me one word of this. i don't mean this in any disrespect whatsoever, but the way you spoke down to me, as though i have some bias, is why the democrats lost the election. >> no, i didn't speak. >> this is and this is to your point that you said earlier, maybe it was during the break that that, you know, trump was able to pick culture groups and not racial groups and speak to them properly. >> but here's what here's what i hear you saying, and here's where i actually agree with nina. i do think that the way that it's being heard is we're basically saying all straight white dudes suck, all straight white dudes are terrible, and therefore you need to be scolded. and when you hear it that way, anybody would naturally object. if that's what's being heard, that is not th

the opportunity for black men to enlist in the united states army. but it was not universal and i'm not talking about the south, i'm talking about the north. there was not universal pleasure this and one of those who made clear objections was a man named roscoe conkling. he was head of the illinois party i'm sorry, of the republican party. illinois. so he and lincoln knew each other quite well. of course, lincoln being from illinois and conkling wrote. lincoln, a letter telling him that if did not rescind the emancipation proclamation and conkling would no longer support the war or the lincoln administration. in his response, lincoln cut right to the heart of the matter as he was so able to do. this is in part what he said. you say you will not fight to free the --. some of them seem willing to fight for you. but no matter fight you then exclude peaceably to save this union. well one man who recognized the greater. of the emancipation proclamation and this change in policy and sentiment as well, that was now spreading across the north was frederick d

so christophe is known for this means being black, but that is coming out black sovereignty.his vision that he has for a free black kingdom in the middle of all the slaving colonies, empires and world powers. and he knows, though, that france still wants to bring back slavery when napoleon is overthrown. the first time in 1814 and the borbon monarch, louis the 18th comes back to power almost. the first thing he does is try to send an expedition, the french king, to haiti, to try to quote unquote, restore the colony of saint-domingue, which means to bring back slavery. so, christophe, in that light, has been right to be working on the citadel. the family have the largest fortress north america widely hailed as the eighth wonder of the world. you're looking at an image of it here. it's vast, like a city. it has its own printing. it has a castle. it can house 30,000 people. it has ammunition, cannons and all of which much of which is still there today. the restoration of this fortress was successful. but you can also see it's hard to get there. you can kind of see the path. the

xavier won the third annual emerging black composers project. the project was first launched back in 2020 to highlight and amplify early career black american composers. when asked about how he feels the black community is represented in classical music, xavier didn't sing any high notes. honestly, not very well. and that's a symptom of, i think, intentional exclusion through centuries of, i guess, the cultivation of this type of music. so it's that's the unfortunate reality. the 28 year old la born music also comes from a musical family. his grandfather was a blues musician. but that wasn't his only inspiration. he notes that his parents are biracial, and says that music allows him to explore the confusion that sometimes comes with that heritage. music really is more, i think, a form of self expression and self exploration that has actually helped me come to terms or discover a lot about my identity. and while xavier may be a new name to some, he's hardly new to music. in fact, he's been composing for 15 years and has no intent to slow down any

as the president said, there are some black jobs. those black jobs were menial jobs. we resent, and we reject the inference that any blacks who gets promoted is because of tokenism and not because of merit. we resent the notion that anybody in a position of leadership who is white. they've earned it. if you're black in there, you didn't earn it. you got it because of some special privilege. all that speaks of is white privilege. and the fact of the matter is, and our white sisters need to understand all this, make america great again. it doesn't include them either. it's really to benefit white men. i never understood what they meant when they said the angry white male. why are they angry? they were running everything. so the fact of the matter is, we've got to make it clear that diversity is a blessing to this country, that inclusion is a blessing to this country. if this country doesn't believe that, take down the statue of liberty and let's move on. >> will your message be received? is the question. bishop reginald jackson, thank you for tonight. >> delighted to be
