The governments were the ones that created the problems for Black America, right? The Democrats, the left, they enslaved Black America, they voted for the Jim Crow laws. They voted, and they fought to keep the Jim Crow laws. Still, the longest filibuster that's ever happened in Senate was to make sure that Black Americans did not get a piece of the American dream, right? And then, so they created all the problems, and then they said, actually, changed our mind overnight.

Now we're the solution. COVID 19 is the same storyline. They created every single problem that you have. There's a virus, guys. We don't know where the origins of the virus are, per se, Looks like we've got a lot of money. We may have funded some programs, but that's a conspiracy theory. Fact checkers. Take that off the internet. No, we don't know. It magically came, somebody in China ate some bat soup, I think. All right?

Don't pay, doesn't matter, the virus is here. Stay at home, save lives, right? Oh, we're gonna have to just shut down the world. You can't go to work, you can't do this. We're only gonna let you go to the grocery store. Fear, fear, fear, fear, fear, campaign. And then, of course, people didn't have money. And the government said, It's fine. Here we are again, at your door, and we're here to help. We're here to help you guys.

We're gonna give you $300 checks. By the way, why go back to work? The government, we will pay you to stay home because we care so much about you. We will pay you to stay home. Well, how did that work out for black Americans when we were incentivized to do bad things, incentivized to have bad behavior, right? Incentivized not to ever aspire to get a better job, because we're on welfare, right? We're on welfare. What's the point?

In order to stay on welfare, you can't make this. You cant make this much money. You got to stay at this threshold, or else you're going to lose your wealthfare benefits. Well, wake up America. The same exact thing has happened. The same exact thing has happened. Okay, well, okay, you don't have a job. We're gonna give you money. It's not a lot of money. It's not a lot of money, but it'll help you in a short run. And then you look up, and you've got actually people who didn't realize what was happening, who didn't want to go back to work, right?

You have individuals in America who did not want to go back to work because the government was paying them, and who suffered for that. Of course, the mom and dad shops, the little coffee shops that hung on by a thread, right? Now they can't find workers. Now you see the signs everywhere, help needed help needed. Well, that's the point. It's to take out all of these smaller businesses. It's to make it so that every person in America is dependent in some form upon the government.

That is what has happened in this country before. And that is what is happening now. So it's why I say, if Black America was the tester in realizing how much success they could garner and how much power over people, now they're doing it mainstream. Now it's for every person, no matter what color you are in this country, this is what they want. They want the corporates to have power. The people at the top to have power, and the rest of us, to be their slaves.

I got mocked. I get mocked often by the leftist media, but this piece always stuck with me. They started making fun of me, and actually, they were quite angry about my language when I said that in many ways, what we're seeing today as a plantation. And there was a black writer, and I believe it was for the Washington Post. And he said, How dare she use slave rhetoric to describe what's happening in America today? How dare she popularize the term plantations and talking about what's happening today?

And the individual took it as hyperbole, as if I was trying to either be funny or dramatic, or to exaggerate the point. But when I said that we have re entered a time of slavery, when I say that we are once again seeing plantations in America, I meant it sincerely. I meant it in terms of what is just really an updated, modernized plantation today, and people don't realize it, which is perfect, by the way. The best kinds of slaves, the ones that don't know their slaves, right?

Those are the best kinds of slaves. People that get up every day and don't recognize that they're slaves. And in that regard, it's crucial to understand history, right? How were they able to maintain plantations for so long in this country, right? Well, you know, the first element of it was the breakdown of the family. If you're going to be trading human beings, like they're commodities, then you need to make sure that they're comfortable, and leaving their mom and their dad, and that they have no sense of what it means to be a family, that there's no sense of that familial relations happening between two people.

In fact, in Booker T. Washington's up from slavery, he spoke about this and said he felt nothing when his mother and his sister were traded, because he didn't have a feeling for family, right? So you have to break down the family. The second thing that you have to do is to make sure that slaves can't read. The slave codes that existed in the beginning of his country ensured that slaves were not allowed to learn how to read, and this was so crucial to maintain the plantations, that even if you were a white person, and you were caught teaching a slave how to read, you could have been punished.

They said these slaves are not allowed to learn how to read. And the reason for that is simple, because an educated mind can't be enslaved. God forbid, the slaves were reading the abolitionist papers that were coming down from the North. God forbid the slaves you're reading and comprehending that they had self worth that they were human beings. God forbid they believed in a God, right? You needed them to act like cogs.

You did not need them to think like human beings, so they make sure that the education system was nonexistent. Well look around us today. The Department of Education, federalize. Right? How the governments are controlling the schools, and what do we have to show for it? Have you looked at the rates in inner cities of how many kids can read? Across 5 schools in Baltimore? They couldn't find a single child that was proficient in reading and writing?

The numbers are staggering, right? The kids, since the Department of Education has taken place, have gotten dumber and dumber and dumber, and this is where you arrive at critical race theory. This is where you arrive at what's happening in my school systems, and you think to yourself, Now, why on earth would they be teaching kids about, you know, to hate one another? Because that's what it comes down to, right? right You are always a victim, and you are always an oppressor.

This is how it will always be, depending on your skin color. It doesn't matter. Why keep kids focused on that? Well, the answer is obvious, and the answer is clear. It is because they want to make sure that these people are like toddlers, that they react emotionally, that they react like barbarians, that they actually have no knowledge, to beautiful waste of time, critical race theory, right? They're not going to know math.

They're not gonna know signs, you're not gonna know engineering. They're not gonna know anything that could help them get away and be productive in society. You want these kids to graduate with meaningless degrees. Degrees like, you know, in LGBT studies. Degrees like in transgender studies. You can now get a degree at universities and transgender studies. You can get a degree on equity and all of these absurd things.

And I don't know about you guys, but never in my life had I needed to call a gender studies major, where I needed something fixed in my house. Under what scenario do you need somebody with a gender studies degree to do anything? You make these kids take out hundreds of thousands of dollars of loans to get a shiny degree in something that will never help them be successful, and you have created a perfect slave that has gone through the system controlled by the federal government, convinced that they know something when they know absolutely nothing.

In fact, they know such nothing, they don't even know who to be mad at. Right? And so they accept the dogma that's provided to them. Be mad at the rich man. The white man, the tall man, the man. Men are the problem, the patriarchy. Just be mad and scream like a toddler into the abyss. Don't realize that, actually, you've been cheated from the very second that you stepped foot in the public education system, a very, very carefully crafted institution for slaves.

Don't be angry at that. Go out. Boycott in the name of social justice. There is so much to learn for every single American in the world, when it comes to looking at the history of Black America, because the history of Black America is the American present.
