welcome welcome to another edition of community i'll be hosted a my name is michael grey's co founding member of one hundred blacks in law enforcement and as we speak right now   as we always do st of all you know you can always watch us on neighborhood network dot org or you can watch past shows or you to convenience and and if you missed the show totally you can watch us or you to just put in community or you to now shows who pop right from the outset as we always do we do a history piece because our history is so replete with things that happened this week in history and unlike other people what the make up things engage in revisionist history we don't have to do that and so somewhere on the planet where that was seen in america whether it was in africa and central america or somewhere things always happen in certainly we want to bring that to your remembrance because some of our people have missed some very important rebellion now one can argue that it began at birth because from birth those who were there the elders knew that this was a gifted child and there was something different about him but he  it shook the confederacy in such a way that there was considerations wondering what slavery will be worth it because he showed what what type of metal we have what you are focused and you really about it bout it so he showed virginia in no uncertain terms that he was about it about it in one of the great men one of the greatest we produced one of the most courageous bowl da have consisted of approximately anywhere between at any given time between twenty to thirty individuals as much as thirty and one of them mom shot him twice just a little more than a handful of them they give it up in jail and you know for the wreckage you have to remember that there were a lot of demonstrations a lot of movement towards involved because he knew who they were he said we don't give up our own you give up your own we don't give up our you consequently it was a painstaking say it was some warres that but grew up with in east new york i remember her well and for the record tell you something she was a fox gorgeous beautiful young girl growing up in east new york with a very friendly very nice pleasant person to be around i remember her and so it was in a sense it was personal to me even though all of us so many people in the movement came out and supported the hawkins white matter but it was a litany of militias across sections from all over the country they ended up in the texas area at one time and they actually surrounded the entire headquarters  i'm not talking about the front door they surrounded the entire headquarters with the state of the equipment they had fifteen they had on vests helmets whatever you know body armor on to th rights organization in the country always being controlled by whites it was never a black organization is certainly is not a black organization even to this very day so from one thousand to that date in tw specifically adam clayton powell who defined what a black organization is you got to be black controlled and black violence and black lead to be a black organization so bad that standard that a came and talked in a very nicely and basically beg them to talk them down so they would allow people to be would exit the building and until that happened everybody had to stay in that building nobody could leave and that was done in department and they left no one was arrested now let's get started with some consider everything's certainly and i know basically what people are thinking about today but we'll get to that in a moment i want to st talk about jay z in this new arrangement this new arrangement with the n f l the national football league because he said he was supporting he said he was supporting cap and at that time so he chose to stay in and you know stay take a stand by not performing as you well know prior to that beyond say had performed and she did what so why people we consider questionable when she in her own way on the black panther party for self defense or with one particular song and dance routine they she did from her vantage point she felt she was honoring the black panther party consequently it raise questions and so when so what happened was you're mike's own so roundly criticized the artist they did perform after that but in any event it was a it was interesting that jay z now not only is in charge of programming have festivities for the super bowl but somehow also he's involved in the social justice is now before i get into his exact words you always have to remember that white people who when they want to know what's going on or where black people they go to entertain is they interview people on a corner they'll interview an entertainer they'll interview an act but when you it's when you want to know what's going on in the white community they go to elected if issues they go to generals they go to business mean people that are serious about what they do however when they want to know what's going on  diana ross or they all say something to serina or you know serena williams or somebody like that which makes absolutely no sense they are not going to the people who struggle low so many years in the possibly be talking about if he is not supporting work colling cap and from the outset i didn't hear anything about black men in women and children being killed by police offices this is what kali capital made crystal clear it had nothing to do with the armed services it had nothing to do with the flag it was a move on national television to provoke a level of justice with respect to black men and women and children the majority not even in the commission of a crime being killed by a white police offices so he was dealing with institutional racism slash white supremacy that was the whole ballgame jay z's and nothing about white supremacy jay z said nothing about black men women and children being killed in police custody so gonna who is surrounded by eight police officers one being a sergeant seven cops should have been saved because they were in a controlled environment well and thirty million dollars and more than that a year he put that on the line he hasn't been paid in three years when he was playing he was making about fifteen million  now the quarterbacks making around thirty million dollars and he sacrifice there for the last three years for a situation that he probably in his adult life would never have to deal with so that sacrifice because he could have been such an esteemed class that he might not have affected him directly you might have direct affected people in no way loved ones but he would have been sort of immune as the games those very things so i have to salute his courage in making their sacrifice so j c didn't talk about white supremacy and the killing of black men women and children he didn't even talk about that so when people say well i wonder did he sell out you're wondering now the way he worded things he can trick the average person that listen to his  songs because you know rap music is directed towards three ft three to four year olds to about the age of about fourteen after that it shouldn't be very very attractive to you of that it may perhaps the be but the lyrics they use and that's why young people gravitate towards so well it doesn't take any sophistication but in any event he said things like ok we passed neil and was next and he said i want to i don't want to minimize the neat thing but it's a necessary part of the process was the process he didn't say anything about challenging white supremacy he didn't say anything about the justice issues that we would have to face you know it with respect to challenge and district attorneys challenging setting may is challenge the police commissioners in chiefs of various departments challenging sheriffs challenging correctional officers challenging court offices he didn't say anything about that and yet some of us are wondering did he sell out was he's being paid for this he's saying it was part of prayer if we're past that process to the next thing he didn't say what the next thing was because black ministerial being killed in history black women are still being killed in the street black children are still being killed in the street college students all over the country being killed in the street so what is the talk about the next move the other moves were the result of what's the next you know nothing has been resolved with police officers are not going to jail in some situations they might be allowed to resign few a few were five someone who are allowed to resign and then they went to a neighboring police agency and signed on with them that happen time at the time the killers of the killer to me arise moved to another police department and now his union has to marry to fight to bring him back to the cleveland police department that's our sick things are so with with respect to jay z and i'm going move fast because fag they're bringing guys to retire two or three years ago or white quarterbacks that's been sitting on couches for years bringing them back giving them jobs getting twenty commissioner garrett see that he get a job or needs a tryout let him try out if he's good enough then play not ok you get your walking papers but the facts are he's one of the best on the planet and  did not get his true day in court that never happened and he's been left out of a job that now we will be getting thirty million dollars a year to do and that's unfortunate that a guy like jay z allegedly a billion a year is still grabbing for chines is disgraceful is no different than him now or brothers and sisters in south africa someone out to the powers that be or the way people slow sold out money and all these various income streams and you still sell out where you are you more discuss than in them then the little the little ones who do it every day or elected officials because you have means you suppose to be the main and you do something like that is nothing short of the plausible and you're spitting in the faces of those who came before you they fought the good fight they have read some of the net turners they henry  an that's the laney's and so many others the marcus garvey of the world adam clayton powell and so many others they fought the good the good fight is just disgusting and you need to know that and for the record i'm saying that one brother from brooklyn to another your disgrace now i want to mention another case and then we'll get to know you want to talk about pencil a oh so let me just rush quickly a white and they were going door to door when they got to her door she pulled the gun on them made them lie face down the answer real quickly made them laugh ace down and call the police when the police arrived the police told him to get up  going or they said they were selling they were raising funds for the hass school football program they were allowed to leave the police officers let them leave it took them five days but then they arrested  kelly they arrested her did not even take a mug shot sees the wife of joe kelly and joe kelly is the ministre to he runs the local jail cues that they didn't take a mug shot because while they were booking her she had a medical issue and had to leave you know that's that's why folks talking so you know in any event she was charged and by the way she was charged with them what was she charged with she was charged with aggravated the saw false imprisonment endangering the welfare of a minor so she got four charges so that's what she was charged with for what she did in the they didn't take a mug shot now with them five irrespective of how long it lasted there was also a position with fixation involving all the other police officers who were there that got on topping him on top and this allowing his  diaphragm to expand actually killing him they blamed it on a compromised immune system but they can say it's compromise all they want because they say and he was overweight and he had  asthma problem but the facts had you left them alone and not the middle he would be alive today those that those are the facts consequently they dig causes death and so by the way she's looking at charges so we have a situation where you have to remember the p b is maintaining that it was a seat belt when you will not show  choking maneuver but always remember anything that restricts the intake of anything that restricts the circulation of blood is a choko so now you have a situation where they're going to continue to fight he's going to put it that the lawyers obviously going to put in article seventy eight dollars which will allow the fight for his job least get to fifteen or so in any of the four you know to get any type of pension so as we speak right now there is no talk of criminal charges since he's a sister it was going to be her anyway so that might happen but in any event the p v a is dead set on fighting for his job and now they're labeling the mayor  step in and remove the mayor and even remove the police commissioner that's the power a sitting governor based on colonial powers that is still in existence to this very day but he has been fired at the moment with the possibility you could put the telephone up now with the with the he put the telephone up the it can happen so 're wondering what's going on is anything going to happen with this good tourney's go after the rest of them will there be real justice because right now that's one step in a long journey that's all it is no one has been received criminal charges anything you've seen or heard of as of now is it ministre did and that's the bulk of it in minutes traded they're not of our men we decided to bend for another name and it's come in the three months before fasting the results were long lasting absolute power corrupts no justice no peace until we freed from this beast and trust in god that some look oh my goodness brother brother is incredible is incredible man it sounds like you topped the one on good point excellent everyone happy well yes a lot of things he can do with it and he has it done it these guys become business moguls simply by someone they name they act as if they real business men all a do is put a name or and or water sugar water products clothing lines they don't do anything other than lend their names and that's even with the president as he lends his name to shirts ties clothes and all that stuff so they call themselves businessmen and all that stuff i mean look when a woman sells a body you've got a name for her when you say your name when you say your name to think there's a name for you too you a sellout so you know all these guys that are comporting themselves as if they really business men it's all game jay z only had one hundred to o folks the facts of the matter is that he always as a city council person stood with bloomberg only six months before the election the reverse positions stand stand against the closing of long island college hospital and act as if he's always been against work he's always been with the developers the billionaire developers and he's with them now and that's  our let's start with formal complaints because you're not the only one they're saying that that is an intimidation technique that's been used in other cities is affective because it has you know it makes you aware of th i hear what you're saying but i just must commend beyond say for sticking to our guns and saying that you know yes it was a tribute to the black panther party and she didn't  e from her position that they deserved to be on it so i got to give her that and so you know i won't i won't put her and lump in the same bag with jay z but jay z is is the same candidate we had on the plantation is the same can a sellout during the civil rights movement the same can the sellout that fed information today go over to destroy marcus garvey to destroy the black panther party and kill some of its leaders that's the same thing is the same type of sellout so reverend sharpton can defend jay z all he wants to because you know he'll get a few dollars by doing that for jay z but in any event we have to understand that a sellout that's a sellout is a sellout is not complicated if you look at the words he used and what he actually said you know develop you know a critical analysis in read what he said he's telling you he sold out this is all for the money he's not of lived in or helping anybody else other than himself next call a walk in the community cut what you call it from the ground all right go it from the book air ok we have a little problem with the phones seated the thing you have to remember is that white people pick who they want to make them braids none of these gas are really super talented to a point where life won't go or without the facts of all of these guys that tapes mix tapes out of their back in a car busy we know about all these stories however to make it where these guys make it you know their concessions all along the way and i'm not getting spooky with the blue leds a and seekers the sod isn't all this stuff but they given up things when you when you see supreme court judges and when you see black people in prominent elected positions there concessions that are made to the democratic party along the way is a reason why it is james is the attorney general of new york state she never took up black causes never defended black people always local level you do have city council people who have a say in when developers come in and today the only person i know of who question developers to any degree has been charles berry he's the only one i know that has stop some people from coming into his area east new york and has a more reasonable model on what a low income is or what average income is because they can play with these words with these relative terms and today advantage or they can claim that a certain amount of housing is affordable but it's not affordable for the average black person and they still get to these are tax credits and get a bill large apartment buildings that you see going up all over now but the elected officials can we're experiencing the difficulties with the phone you can try to call back the calls that would drop you can try to call back right now because the lines a clear it's whatever's going little work itself out but as i was saying so much of this is predicated on their ability to sell their name it looks ok we'll try it again  air next call you on the air ok something's going on with the phones so as i was saying in any event they can they what they do is that they sell the name and  which you haven't produced your name is on it they put your name on alcohol or wire and liquor and all these other things and you put in these if you some big wig you know you're selling yourself and it doesn't  germinate into any type of it vance meant for anyone else so the black community doesn't profit from that you do and that's what you see all around all of these  programs and all this stuff but they just live in the name through it and they might kick out a few dollars and then the big money comes back to them so they feel they're doing business but what's actually happened is their name if they didn't have the name they wouldn't have the access because why people control these t v t v networks why people control the radio airwaves why false control all these clothing you know all the different when we should not be surprised the fact of the matter is we see in plain sight a white woman she pulls a gun own four children that are in high school trying to raise funds for the football team and the police officer does not a rest on the spot when the police officers get there she's got a gun trained on four kids who local has school football program they should have arrested on the spot why did it take five days had there been the other way around a black woman for young children trying to  our sister does so much veronica good night would sheila berry for ways being on point and making the show the success that it is want to thank them so much in hope that
