  Nolan Wells.

• 1:50Speaker 04

  A grand jury said that there was no grounds for legal prosecution of anybody connected to the case. So obviously, we don't have

• 2:03Speaker 04

  inside information of what the autopsy or what the grand jury saw. But this is a legal...

• 2:08Speaker 05

  It's blunt force trauma to the back of the head.

• 2:11Speaker 04

  This is an important part. You know how we need financial literacy? Obviously, that's something that we brought to the forefront, right?

• 2:16Speaker 05

  Yep.

• 2:17Speaker 04

  And we think that financial literacy should be taught in every school. Because kids should learn about financial literacy.

• 2:22Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 2:24Speaker 04

  What's also is important, and maybe is equally important, is civic literacy. We need to teach... The average American does not have any civic literacy. As far as like voting, who does what? What is the difference between a congressperson and a senator? Your local elections, mayors, school board. A grand jury. So important. So many people don't even know what a grand jury is. Right? And this is part of the legal system that doesn't get talked about a lot.

• 3:01Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 3:02Speaker 04

  Right? Where literally, a grand jury has the power to actually bring a case forward or not.

• 3:10Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 3:11Speaker 04

  So who's on a grand jury? Nobody's ever asked this question. Right? Like, nobody really asks this question. Like, where does this grand jury come from? Who is a grand jury? How do you get on a grand jury? Is this like, so many different things happen. We just hear a grand jury. Like, every once in a while, we just hear about a grand jury. But I will say this.

• 3:34Speaker 04

  Obviously, I don't know what happened. Right? But...

• 3:39Speaker 05

  We know blunt force trauma to the back of the head happened. And when the autopsy was done, they removed his throat. A blunt force trauma...

• 3:46Speaker 04

  They removed his throat, you said?

• 3:48Speaker 05

  That's what they reported.

• 3:50Speaker 04

  Who removed his throat? The coroner? Allegedly?

• 3:55Speaker 04

  I'll tell you this. Some very disturbing things have been happening, or has happened for 56 years. Longer than that, in the state of Mississippi. The whole entire state needs to have a federal investigation. You got people hanging from trees. Like, Mississippi. The state of Mississippi.

• 4:20Speaker 04

  Their whole structure needs to be gutted. Because this shit, it keeps happening. It just keeps happening. And like I said, you could say, okay, one time, but this is...

• 4:33Speaker 05

  Historically, it's been happening for a hundred something years.

• 4:39Speaker 05

  It's heartbreaking.

• 4:41Speaker 05

  Praise to the family. I can't give my real thoughts about what should happen next. But at some point, as a community, we're gonna have to take some other actions to get some of this resolved.

• 4:56Speaker 05

  Gotta have some pushback. And then you see they posted the picture with their new black friend on IG today?

• 5:03Speaker 04

  The kids?

• 5:05Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 5:09Speaker 05

  So, um, to all of my parents, keep your kids safe.

• 5:17Speaker 05

  Pray over your children, watch over your children.

• 5:21Speaker 05

  Be careful. I pray none of us tonight ever have to go through a situation like this. Because I know some of us would throw our lives away if this happened, including me.

• 5:34Speaker 05

  God rest that boy's soul. But something has to be done. As far as Mississippi, though, nothing's gonna change. If anything, they're gonna... They got away with it. They're gonna double down on it.

• 5:44Speaker 04

  What can be done? What can we... How can we... This is... So, Angela Ri... And watch the latest episode of Native Land Podcast, Myself in Troy. We got asked this question, and

• 5:57Speaker 04

  I think it's a three-part process. I'll give you the abbreviated version. If you want the long version, watch the episode. We need to have economic empowerment

• 6:08Speaker 04

  as a community at a very high level.

• 6:11Speaker 04

  Then, we gotta have organizational empowerment. We gotta have... The problem is that we train so much to just... We don't trust each other.

• 6:24Speaker 04

  So, whenever something comes out...

• 6:27Speaker 04

  Look at Black Lives Matter. How they just tore that apart.

• 6:31Speaker 05

  Well, that's a layered conversation too. Because why did they get tore apart?

• 6:35Speaker 04

  No, but what I'm saying is that we don't trust anything. So we don't have any organization

• 6:41Speaker 05

  Okay.

• 6:41Speaker 04

  that we really can look forward.

• 6:44Speaker 05

  But Morgan talked about this on Breakfast Club. There's a cohort that is paying to tear down any institution. And I'm not just saying because of our involvement in it. But when it's like, okay, attack on Invest Fest. Then it's attack on AfroTech. Any positive black institution. It's like, even in the response to Umar, like, I know he was misguided. But a constant attack on every brand that's trying to do anything for anybody black, that's not by design. There's too much money, and the talking points are the same across all of the internet internationally to think that's a coincidence. So, I agree that we may not trust a lot. But it's a lot of media and PR put into not trusting us.

• 7:28Speaker 04

  And it's psychological warfare.

• 7:30Speaker 05

  Yeah.

• 7:30Speaker 04

  It goes back to CO and TEL Pro, for sure. It goes back to CO and TEL Pro. And there's been a lot of...

• 7:40Speaker 04

  You know what's so crazy? Somebody wrote CO and TEL Pro in the YouTube chat.

• 7:47Speaker 04

  And it was hidden.

• 7:50Speaker 03

• 12:25Speaker 05

  Interesting.

• 12:26Speaker 04

  They.

• 12:31Speaker 05

  Blackout.

• 12:33Speaker 04

  So I think, I think it's a deep-rooted psychological issue that a lot of us have as far as black leadership, black organizations. We have a deep-rooted hatred, distrust of black leadership.

• 12:56Speaker 05

  Why is that?

• 12:59Speaker 04

  Why do we have a deep-rooted?

• 13:02Speaker 04

  It goes back to, I don't even want to say that word because it got hidden. It goes back to the 60s.

• 13:12Speaker 04

  It goes back to slavery. It goes back, it goes back to slavery where

• 13:19Speaker 04

  they made people turn against other people. Willie Lynch.

• 13:25Speaker 04

  And

• 13:26Speaker 05

  Divide and conquer.

• 13:27Speaker 04

  It really goes back to the 60s when strategically every black leader was taken out. Malcolm X.

• 13:38Speaker 04

  Martin Luther King.

• 13:41Speaker 04

  Mega Evers. Fred Hampton. And if they didn't kill you, they found other ways. Like Huey P. Newton.

• 13:53Speaker 04

  Bobby Seal. Or even before that, Marcus Garvey. So every black leader, for the most part, has either been discredited

• 14:10Speaker 04

  or killed.

• 14:11Speaker 05

  Yeah, publicly persecuted.

• 14:13Speaker 04

  Publicly humiliated, publicly humiliated, discredited.

• 14:17Speaker 05

  Damaged financially, attacked and killed your family.

• 14:20Speaker 04

  Mayor Marion Barry. Now you could say, okay, well,

• 14:26Speaker 04

  yes, he did obviously make a bad choice.

• 14:29Speaker 05

  He was not the only one.

• 14:31Speaker 04

  And he got set up.

• 14:34Speaker 04

  Why would they set him up? He made two black billionaires.

• 14:40Speaker 04

  Robert Johnson, Bob Johnson, and Don Peebles. District of Columbia.

• 14:48Speaker 05

  But you always got to be worried about the setup. Drugs, women, bad deals, be careful. Any deal that's too good to be true usually is.

• 14:57Speaker 04

  100%. So I think, um,

• 15:02Speaker 04

  I don't know how we get, I don't know how we get past that. Because what organization do we trust? Like I said, I mean, somebody made a good point. Even before all the stuff with Black Lives Matters came out, we still didn't trust them. Like when I say we, I'm not saying about me, I'm just saying as a community at whole. Kamala ran for president. She's not black.

• 15:21Speaker 04

  She's Indian. She locked up more black men in California than anybody. She, you, man, they talked about her more than they talked about Trump. Whether you like her or not,

• 15:32Speaker 04

  what I saw was more vitriol hate from black people, especially black men, towards her than for Donald Trump.

• 15:43Speaker 05

  But who, but how much money was put into tearing her down? And then there's other conversation we, we have to have one day. But like when we like 90, there's a Democrats who helped line her up.

• 15:55Speaker 05

  Who are Blue Maga or not supportive of any candidate, but then potentially one that allegedly.

• 16:03Speaker 05

  Olivia Pope calling.

• 16:07Speaker 04

  All right. All right.

• 16:09Speaker 05

  What's the answer? You gotta, I pray no parent gets put in this situation.

• 16:14Speaker 04

  But what I saw, like I said, when you see other groups, right? And I'll take when I was a financial advisor, right? And I worked in an office and pretty much everybody in my office was Jewish. And I learned a valuable lesson is that you don't have to be a billionaire.

• 16:31Speaker 04

  These people wasn't billionaires, but millionaires. You know, they was doing upper-middle-class, lower, lower, lower-class wealthy. But they would have functions. And they would fundraise $7 million. They would fund, they would fundraise $7 million at the black tart dinner with no billionaire, no billionaire there. They would fundraise $7 million for the state of Israel. For the state of Israel. No, it's not, it's not controversial, but I'm just saying this is just a fact. That's what they would do. And but, okay, so that's one thing. They have enough financial, economic empowerment.

• 17:12Speaker 04

  Then they have enough education to know, no matter what you believe, because everybody don't agree on the same thing. We have a common united goal.

• 17:22Speaker 04

  It's been taught since they were little children. You don't got to agree on everything. You might be super religious, you might not be religious at all. But we are going to come united for this one particular thing. Then they have structures in place that can collect the money. Then they have political power in place that can do the super PAC thing and, and can lobby the politicians. So it's, it's actually like a pipeline. It's, it's money, organizational skills, then political pressure, power from an organizational standpoint.

• 17:59Speaker 05

  And then you got a muscle under there.

• 18:01Speaker 04

  So that's, that's how you really achieve things. It's, it's, it starts with money, by the way. It starts with the economics. Then it goes to the education, core structure, who you are as a person. Why, it's your obligation as a black person to help black people.
