EXCERPT OF THE AUTO-GENERATED TRANSCRIPT
[Pancocojams Editor's Note: I added punctuation and capitalization to this excerpt of that podcast.]
From https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nCW_SUl3T18
"You know, I think a lot about what is it going to take for
these African-American Trump supporters to realize how deeply, deeply racist that man is and that he's just playing them. He comes into our
barber shops and our churches and he brags about being the best thing to happen to African-Americans since Abraham
Lincoln- which is completely false and offensive. Yet some Black men just continue
to follow him. And I'm not just talking about those conservatives Tim Scott and Byron Donalds and Ben Carson. I mean, they're going to do that. I'm talking about a lot of these brothers out
here in the neighborhood, in the community. And no matter how racist
Trump is, they just seem to just like him, gravitate toward him despite his
racism.
It's almost like having a friend who's dating a girl and she is dogging him out. She’s all over town, sleeping with other guys
in front of everybody, Everybody can see it except for your buddy Except
for him, nobody else, nobody else, is is in the darkness like he is. But he just, for whatever reason, he just
stays with that girl. That's how this
feel.
But I got a photo today that I think can go a long way at convincing these guys
that this man means African-American men no good. But I need your help sharing this photo.
[…]
All right, so what photo am I talking about? I'm talking about this racist photo [shown around 3:33 in this video].
Look at this. Trump released this photo “Your
neighborhood under Trump” and here's this plush neighborhood and this photo is obviously geared toward White people, right, White voters and then “Your neighborhood
under Kamala”. And if you look closely there are mostly Black men In this crowd. So he is trying to create fear with White voters using
these images of African American men men. They're not- I don't see, maybe somewhere there, I don't see any African-American women, all men all Black men.
And here we're talking about Black men supporting him. How, how do you support a man who is that racist? He’s literally using the image of Black men to scare White people. He's
using our image as Black men to make the point that if you vote for Kamala, Black
men are going to be in your
neighborhoods robbing, stealing, killing and so on. That’s what that says. That's the message that he's putting out there.
So again, the question is “How in the world does any sane African American man support
someone this deeply racist and White supremacist? Tell me. Explain it to me. I, I…Because
I don't get it. I I I simply don't get it.
Now I know that we have been damaged and traumatized because of slavery. And I know that having gone through slavery
people- often times even their descendants- can become so broken, can come out of that situation so
deeply broken that they have sort of a dependency on the enslaver and a deep nonsensical loyalty to the enslaver. I mean I I I don't know. It's again it's almost like a woman who is
just deeply connected with her abuser, right, she just can't seem to let it go. Or, as I said earlier, maybe like a man who has this unfaithful
girlfriend and she just knows-no matter what she does- she knows that he's going to stay with her. Right,
so that that's again how it feels.
Just seeing this racist, deeply racist, KKK type racist-I mean it's, it's that
level racism. It's it's Nazi level racism,
deeply deeply racist. And yet Black men see that -those who support him- and they will continue.
They will find a reason why he's still not that bad a guy or this is -what often times happens- well Joe Biden this Joe Biden that, Kamala Harris
this, Kamala Harris that…And compare them to this level of racism in other
words find a a way, a reason to continue to be loyal to a man that despises you,
a man who thinks of you as the lowest person on the the planet, a man who will
use your image to scare White people that that is deep seated racism.
[…]
… isn't that offensive? Look at it
again. Look at it. This is what Trump released on his X account. He released this or someone who works for him
released this”
[…]
That picture, that picture is disgusting. This picture should offend you. It should
cause you to say “There's no way that I will vote for a man who will use images of Black men who look just like me to scare White
people into voting for him. That's
really what he thinks of me.”
[…]
Donald Trump is…You got to you got to take him for what he
shows you, right. Maya Angelou said “When someone shows you who they are. you
believe them the first time”.
Come on, brothers, Come on. Come on. Come
on. Come on. Come on. Let's do better than
this. Let's do better than this. He does not deserve the privilege of representing African-American people.
All right. I am attorney Augustus Corbett. I'm one half of the Defiant Lawyers. Thank you for watching this video. And until the next time, peace out!

"The more I look at that picture the more I shake my head, poor Africans from the Continent of Africa who came into this country for a better life for themselves and family back home. Imperialism is nothing but a form of Racism/Colonialism by a country that has colonized your country, after they stole Africans enslaved them in the Caribbean and what was to became the United States of America. These unread Blacks need to pick up a book/books and read about our enslavement, so that when people like a tRump comes around trying to sell them some snake oil they will recognize them. Thanks for all of your informative video presentations.

Tariq Nasheed is a Black American film producer and internet personality who founded and promotes the movement/lineage he calls "Foundational Black American (FBA)". FBAs are Black Americans who have at least one ancestor who was an enslaved Black person in the United States. FBAs differentiate themselves from and are opposed to Black immigrants to the United States from the Caribbean, Africa, and elsewhere and their descendants.
Foundational Black Americans refer to Black people living in the United States who aren't "lineage Black Americans" (meaning "FBAs) as "tethers". Reparations is one of FBAs' core demands. Those reparations would only be for Black Americans who can identify an ancestor who was enslaved in the United States (FBAs) and not for immigrant Black Americans and/or their descendants.

Having to be out here re-raising and educating grown ass people ain’t it. Of all ethnic backgrounds. I came from an abusive, poverty stricken, horrible family - and I served these ungrateful citizens in the army, and rescue and feed animals DESPITE that upbringing. It isn’t on us to be missionaries to force a mind into some sort of alignment. Walk your walk, and hope that a like minded, ready to learn soul, will follow. Stressin over these folks should not be your whole goal. Screw them."

them to a certain standard. Why do you think a lot of men gravitate to toxic
republicans? It's easy to blame someone else. Showing them the racism against
them isn't the solution. Its a community problem. Its a victim mindset issue.
Then hoping the proximity to white men will elevate them and save them from
themselves."

What black woman does not recognize Candace Owens for what she is? They know,
