The MLK We Didn't Know
"Is Martin Luther King's movement any different than Black Lives Matter movement? Because if you listen, they don't talk about that Martin Luther King pushed Marxism. They don't talk about the fact that Martin Luther King pushed government intervention and government assistance. More so than he did self accountability. And people don't talk about the fact that Martin Luther King didn't write that speech. Nobody talks about that part. People don't talk about the part where Martin Luther King, if you listen to any of his other speeches or any of the other things that he did, it was very different. He hung around people who were known marxists. People who did not believe in what they project that Martin Luther King is saying today. Show me a sermon for Martin Luther King. A lot of what Martin Luther King was was an activist. And again, I'm not trying to bash him. I'm really not. I'm trying to give you a different perspective. Because if you look at Jesse Jackson, show me a sermon from Jesse Jackson. Show me a sermon from reverend Al sharpton. They don't, they don't do sermons. They use the pillars of the black community and influence of having the title reverend to be an activist in the community to have some respect. And they use that in my personal opinion to manipulate and to get in the minds of black people to believe them. And I would argue that the certain people and I would argue the white Marxist leftist liberals Ireland call them liberals that mostly leftists, they are finding and using these black people influence in these black people giving them platforms to push their agenda. Because I'll go on for Martin Luther King. I mean, look at the people who hung around Martin Luther King. And people, you know, I seen the documents and information and I want to have my guy Chad Jackson on here. They give you the full perspective of it because he's a lot more knowledgeable, but I saw the video. I saw the content. Uncle Tom two alludes to a little bit of it. But there's an Uncle Tom three that I hope that they put out. That goes into it. I saw it behind the scenes that goes into everything about Martin Luther King.

"The CBS News Weekend Round up and Allison Keyes this week, black civil rights activists, including Reverend Al Sharpton turned up at the funeral for White 17 year old shot and killed by a sheriff's deputy in Arkansas. Bunch of Britain's family says he was not armed when he was shot during a traffic stop. Last month, CBS Jerica Duncan tells us the civil rights activists are sending a message so Hunter Britain was shot by a police officer and died subsequent to being shot. Reverend Al Sharpton and Ben Crump, the attorney, as you know, for George Floyd's family, one of the attorneys they were at the funeral for Hunter, Britain. He was 17 years old. The police officer who was involved in the shooting, did not turn their camera on during the actual shooting, but turned it on after, uh the officer was fired because he did not follow policy. But the sheriff of that county low note, County said. As of right now, it's under investigation because they don't have all of the facts that they need to make a decision As to whether or not this officer will be charged. Um, but to see Reverend Al Sharpton to see Ben Crump at this young man's funeral was different because we know that they have been on the front lines when it comes to justice for African Americans, justice for black people, but Service. The focus was, it really doesn't matter whether you're black or white. This is about justice being served and police being held accountable for the actions that they take when they end with a fatality as they did with Hunter, Britain. And this was a white teenager, and I remember during the funeral, Reverend Sharpton said. Once he learns that they felt they had to come, that's correct. And you know what was what I thought was striking is you know, Reverend Al Sharpton said that You know, I haven't always done the right thing. You know, he sort of said something to that effect about but I hope that you know when my day comes talking about when he passes on transitions, however, you want to put it that he will be judged by sort of this big picture this bigger narrative of justice for all, And I thought that was interesting. Because you've seen literally an evolution of you know, some of what Reverend Al Sharpton has said in the past, um but I thought it was interesting for Reverend Al Sharpton to make those points about, you know, saying, I haven't always done everything right? But here's where I'm I am today, and when it's all said and done, we should all be coming together. He also said something to the effect of you know, I don't care if you have your trump spent on or your Biden and on we all need to be Moving toward justice for all. So it was a call to say this really is not a black or white issue. This is about having issues with how policing is done in a way that you shoot first and ask questions later as they stated at at the memorial service. It should be pretty interesting to see how that message goes over with other civil rights activists around the country. Yes, and I think to know that they are the leaders. If you will, at the forefront of a lot of these cases involving police shootings, it definitely sends a message. It sends a message. Um, that just reminds people that you know the bigger issue, according to Reverend Al Sharpton and an attorney, Ben Crump. Is policing has to change We need to, you know, have to ask more questions. Or we need to start asking more questions about how, um training is done and the biases and how that impacts the decisions that are made. Uh so I think then, like I said, being the leaders if you will To be at this young man's funeral definitely sent a message and they promised to follow up with this family and be with and throughout this case and whatever happens, you know, they said that they will be there for the family. However, they are needed and I believe that they will probably stay in touch with the family. The family will update them on the case, and we'll see what happens to this police officer.

Wouldn't they be through the roof? I mean, Joe Biden got what 85 million votes in November. It was. It was like practically a landslide. It wouldn't even close. You got 85.

You should see that video clip. I think we've got it somewhere. You could pop it up there, Pavlina. It's hysterical. And there's a little bit of an issue. With men. Thal cigarettes. You see, Biden is such a radical progressive. He doesn't want black people to get sick, smoking mental cigarettes. I'm not kidding you. Now there was a time I'm old enough to remember the Reverend Al Sharpton ranting and railing against banning Menthol cigarettes because that was racist. So now that Joe Biden's president, he gets too bad mental cigarettes and be racist, I guess. I don't know the rules. I don't get the rules. I have no idea what the rules are anymore. What I do know is so few people watched Biden's boring, dreadful debacle of a speech night before last MSNBC. You find people. Who watched it. Listen to this. Here's Here's a NBC anchor Hallie Jackson, tossing to NBC reporter Priscilla Johnson. Here's attempt number one. Here's MSNBC. Lobbying and underhand. Hey, Priscilla, tell us all about the Americans who loved Joe Biden. You know, the guy that picks up the dandy lions for his wife. While walking across the barren lawn there with the helicopter. Is that lawn looks like crap. By the way you got got. You guys gotta get a little The round up out there or something. It's not. That is not a trump looking lawn at all. Trump wouldn't let that yard look like that. There's Biden stumbling along, picking up dandelions and here's MSNBC. Go ahead. Priscilla tell us all about all the people because everybody was watching the speed speech, right, Priscilla? But I've got to tell you. Most of the folks that I've spoken to here did not actually watch Joe Biden's address last night. I've spoken to around a dozen folks and only two of them watch and listen to what he had to say last night, So it'll be interesting to see how he lays out those points Wish which points he really reiterates here in Georgia when speaking directly To the voters here. Oh, you mean they weren't watching the speech? So it'll be interesting to hear if he could talk to the nine cars in Atlanta. That air like hunky, huh? Had another car rally yesterday. Well, let's try again. Here. Let's try again. Let's find another reporter. Here's reporter Ellison Barber will try Ellison the same approach. Surely there's a lot of people who watched the speech. Yeah, We're seeing some of what Priscilla touched on there. About two thirds of the people who we have tried to talk to here said they did not watch the president's address. Not necessarily because they were boycotting it or intentionally not watching it. They just Into bad they had to work. They had other things. This wasn't top of their to do list. So many said They plan to catch up on it sometime today, but the people who did watch it, they told us they felt like by and large. This was a good speech, regardless of the policies, regardless of the substance. What people told us here is that they felt like this was well delivered, and that a lot of ground was covered. How did they know it was a good speech if they weren't watching Ellison? Uh, Houston, we got a problem now I'm going to just bring this right to you because again, this is why you listen in the relief.

And you bastards! Whereas the river now strap is referred to members of the Jewish faith as white interlopers. And diamond merchants.

I got nothing else to say. I rest my case. Maxine Waters, the one who urged people to surround Trump Cabinet members. Let them know they're not welcome anywhere anymore, says Donald Trump, should be charged with Premeditated murder. I know women in Congress often threaten and we're at risk. And just as a LSI was threatened that day. I was lucky I was locked in my office. I would not leave it even when they tried to get me to go to where they were gathering all of the members in one room. I'm glad I didn't because of the contagion that took place there and the members who ended up with you know the covert 19. Uh, Letter to Castro. You're Fidel. Hope I haven't caught you at a bad time. Just want to let you know that Is a woman that you have a juror. Country. And these bastards over here trying trying to get her to come back to the states because he murdered a Drover.

Of course, l C was completely exaggerating the whole thing, but that's not going to stop. Vaccine, But what's so interesting about all of this is they try to make themselves depicted. And remember the 1992 rights here in L. A Was rebellion. It wasn't right. He was just people who were just expressing their outrage over injustice. When indeed are following the press. They weren't looting. That was just a woman who are so an opportunity to give her kids the milk, and she took it to the United States of America who had advanced planning about the invasion of the worry would advance planning. But I thought Donald Trump gave a speech and called everybody to just go crazy. But now you're saying that was advanced planning. It took place in our capital, and even there's information that some of them why would see Impeached for giving a speech. Calls an incitement to insurrection. And now you're saying it was preplanned planning came out of individuals working in his campaign. As a matter of fact, he absolutely should be charged with premeditated murder. She's all about Social justice. All of our criminal justice. She just made Scurrilous accusation. Without any proof. Saying that members of the Trump team Planned. Coordinated, premeditated Happened. In January, 6 Is there any evidence of that little own wide spread evidence we say now use when they Refute the idea that there was Fraud shenanigans irregularities. In the vote.

Right here on. Msnbc and rev. i've met david dinkins in person because you. I met him through you. I think he was here to do at thirty rock to do an interview for your show. And i'm so excited to meet him. He was such a great man. What are you remember. most about David dinkins well. I knew david dinkins. Since i was a teenager when i was sixteen and started my national youth movement group. He was the lawyer that incorporated us and down through the years. We maintain the relationship. And sometimes i would argue would on call them names and one hundred be more strident and it took time to understand that. He had such grace even under the most tumultuous circumstances and i felt he should be more strident. He said al. You have to learn how to get the job done. Keep your eye on the prize. But i most remember. Is that when we were facing a police. Killing of a young man named ahmadou diablo. Who in the hell of forty one bullets was killed. Nine thousand nine hundred bullets for only gone in his debut. Stick in a key in the door and the police thought. They said they thought he had a weapon. He was just going home. They were looking for someone else and david dinkins. When we started protests every day we would go down to the police headquarters. The main one in new york and sit in and hundreds would be arrested. He called me one. One is at what time y'all have. The demonstrations was a former. I said ten in the morning. he's coming down. I said but we're getting arrested. He's out seeing the morning and he came down and went to one police plaza where he had been mayor and got on a knee way before colin cabinet. He took a knee and was arrested and had them cuffed him with congressman. Charlie rangel and himself and me and we went to jail fighting police reform that he started with that civilian complaint review board. He never left the struggle. He was not wanting to be loud and boisterous but he was firm and made real change happen. Yeah absolutely you know. We started off and we could see charlie rangel and james brown. Lots of people in the photos that are that. I don't know if you can see them. That are coming up as as you're talking and you know we started off by talking about the way that dinkins was taken out of office by rudy. Giuliani this rage. That giuliani stoked already. There in the police against what mayor dinkins wanted to do which was changed policing. I feel like we're kind of having a rerun of that conversation about black lives matter about whether or not police should be free to kill it will in black communities. He tried to do something about it. Wouldn't you take from that fight. Is it dispiriting to think that after great men like this have tried after. You've tried after we've had all of these movements. We're still fighting about this were you. Were you fight you win. You don't fight to say the fight is over in a certain amount of rows. This is not pro boxing wrestling. You fight to you win and every struggle has had long struggles. I remember when nelson mandela gain which you mentioned then david dinkins had me as potted group. That went to the un with him. And just jackson. All of us. And when i thought about it took nelson mandela being jailed. Twenty seven years after fighting many decades around the pon-tae. How can we complain about fighting. We fight to. We win knowing that the victory is certain. And that's what they dickens would always say and as i want more national from new york activism. He said you still fighting. Now keep fighting. He come down national action network rallies. In fact he was there just a few months ago. We had his ninetieth birthday there and we never forgot this. Gentle giant had a had a spine of steel. And he didn't need to be boisterous he just needed to be effective and he was the one that broke that ceiling and made people know you could be the ceo of the biggest city in the world and perform. He revitalized times square. He started this whole community policing and in many ways you are more than correct. Joy is almost like to study donald trump. You have to study rudy giuliani.

Months then not registered voters they're not engaged with people and it's Sorta like they sit in these elite circles than these Paula conversations sipping critiquing what all of us that are under front lines in the trenches doing, and they don't do anything themselves than they can afford to come with the most unrealistic impractical kind of stands because they don't have to go out and deal with families that are victimized of people that are outraged and that's why I said the del real problem because they will go for what is radically the most best sounding thing that is totally impractical in totally plays on the emotions of one. Thing. You write in the book you write quote a lot tae liberal may mean well, but his lack of empathy or understanding of the basic inequalities that go hand in hand with bigotry racism and economic disparity make him suspect to anyone struggling to get a foothold in the American dream I'd go so far as to say that if lots liberals had a better sense of these issues and they're black and Brown and immigrant brothers, there'd be no need for someone like me I think that the reason I wrote that as because I'm often asked why do people reach out to me they reach out to be because We have an organization that not only deals with the obviously organizing a protest in working with their legal in media needs what that really understand. It feels their pain and their rage 'cause we HAPP that thing and that rate and a lot of the lottery liberals seed Bam as a radical like on a chess board rather than real people lost their son to police violence or lost their a nephew on their cousin who had no preparation for that know nothing about. Nothing about anything that many of them don't even have to means to go. And take care of funeral expense and not liberals just see them as objects get to some politically field theory that they've been playing with. Elite of discussions and I think that that is why they got. You notice they never connected to the people in the community on the base that usually just analyzing something in saint quarters. In their privileged status because many of them, a privilege themselves. So they can experiment with risk fathers because they're not taking that risk when I read that passage in the book I wrote in the margins Bernie Critique because that was my big critique of Bernie Sanders when he ran in two thousand sixteen and then again, this go round in two, thousand twenty well, I had challenged Bernie and sixteen and I think he did better in eighteen of and I think he started to get it and I give me the turn of there's a lot of credit for that but I think that a lot of the indication that your critique and mind to him was right is The black vote how does he explain that will getting the Black Vote I. think that people you can say all you want liberal will explain to me why the progressives in quote don't get the black vote it is not because that blacks are anti progressive is that there's no connection and there's no involvement with a lot of Ale see another the different aid you know common related all of that but a lot of these that call themselves progressive totally removed from the people that they wanNA speak speak on behalf of people they don't speak to

"Here, Kentucky's Attorney General. Daniel. Cameron. Today. According to Kentucky Law. The use of force by mattingly in Cosgrove was justified to protect themselves. This. Justification bars us from pursuing criminal charges. In Miss Brianna Taylor's death justice is not often easy. Does Not fit the mold of public opinion, and it does not conform to shifting standards. Now is the Reverend Al Sharpton. The host of MSNBC's politics. Nation. He's author of the New Book Rise up confronting a country at the crossroads which will be available Tuesday Reverend Sharpton, your reaction to what the attorney general had to say and what's unfolded tonight in Louisville. Out My reaction is that certainly it is not surprising, but it is still allowing to see that a grand jury and grand jury usually a totally framed by what the prosecutor plus before because that's the only lawyer in the role to come back and say that we will charge and also for all the violence that he did cause and the cause for those. Surrounding an area on apartment that we kill someone, but we will not charge him with killing. Someone shows an outrageous an unbelievable kind of justification for doing nothing around the death of Brianna Taylor. Brianna Taylor was not even mentioned in the indictment if anyone wants to know why we are saying black lives should matter they acrylic saying Louisville. The day did not math. That attorney general to even attack those of us that supported the family at the family's request saying that the celebrities and influence activists on that wealth from end to Kentucky or should not there to give their views when we're welcome there to watch horses run around the track for the Louisville Dirt Louisville Kentucky Derby. But we're not welcomed to stand up for the life of value and worth of a black woman who's only actions that night issue to better in our own home committing no crime involved with no criminal activity. That's why we continue to. That's why we should vote in. We should use the fact that you can vote in November even in Kentucky even though we couldn't vote the grand jury we ought, to sin, Mitch McConnell into retirement as a deposit on the justice we want for the retailers of. I want to let the audience here what you were just referring to the Kentucky Attorney General who is a Republican talked today about activists from out of state who don't live in Kentucky. As if they have no right to talk about this, let's listen to that. There will be celebrities, influencers and activists who having lived in Kentucky. We tried to tell us how to feel suggesting they understand the facts of this case that they know our community and the Commonwealth better than we do. But they don't. Let's not give into their attempts to influence our thinking or capture our emotions. It sounds like he was talking about you. Talking about me and many others than many that up right there on the ground. From out of state but let me remind people that all of the activities of Leonidas Attorney Ben crump was at the invitation of the Family WanNa. Justice. And if you know it's an old playbook calling people outside Agitators Monitor King Junior and John Lewis Super Far greater than us will call that that will not in any way stopped mood that's gone on all over this country and the way to deal with this, we must try to change the laws and one way to do that is to change the lawmakers. We must turn our pain in the power in the rubble must continue to non-binding march to keep these. Alive. Riyan Taylor matting her life matters and we don't have to be a citizen of Louisville to say that and many Citizens Louisville are saying that as well and just last week. The right thing did happen on the civil case the city settled with the family for twelve million dollars and you know that settlement never would have happened without you and others bringing national attention to this case. Well absolutely, and why would you settle for that record amount of money if there was no wrong had been done and one of the reasons that we marched by the tens of thousands in Washington just three weeks ago and details mother spoken that much is because we clearly need is George Floyd policing injustice act passed by the Senate, passed by the House that would also make will officers if they commit a crime are subject of of the lawsuits and pretzels have to deal with it taxpayers paying forward individual offices do and are not held accountable for we need to change the laws by changing the lawmakers.

And Frank Nitti, miss with us Now. Welcome. Thank you for joining us, man. That's amazing. I haven't watched any media or hurting any of anything. But I really never looking myself religions of myself or anything like that. I'm all about like the message and coming together. So how do you feel? I mean, as you say, you know, you walked A long way. How you feel you tired? Is your body tired? Um, actually, I feel amazing. Believe it or not, I don't know how it was like a very spiritual journey for some reason. Even the last day I had walked 40 miles that morning, and then the group walked 42 miles in the Washington D. C that later on that evening, and my body was so fine And so is that like, literally, The last 20 miles, and there was a lady that came up. She came out. She said she was looking for me for four hours, and she was crying. And she had her kids, whether she like you're doing what nobody else could do. You know, Um, you're doing it for my kids. And you know this is such a big thing. And you almost There's a little bit more to go and she was crying and everything. And I started crying and everything, but he gave me so much energy and I was able to walk from there in the last hour. It was just some of my legs are so sore, But other than that, I sat down. I couldn't like walking my feet for two hour the hour and a half once I said it, and now I find I'm ready for the world. Like I woke up this morning like like I hadn't walked for him for the last 24 days. But there were also some some ugly things that happened along the way. I understand that members of your group had many trials that some members of the group were arrested members you know, a member of the group was accused of shoplifting after she had bought like hundreds of dollars of supplies that you were shot at in Pennsylvania. So I was just wondering if you were expecting sort of vitriol to be directed at you. What was crazy Wass? As soon as we got into the state of Indiana, some I was like, Get out the road spoke. You know, and we laugh. We just laughed or whatever you know to me, but it was like You can kind of predict as soon as you cross the state line and take like 15 steps. You know, it was about two blocks, and someone has said that, you know, and we knew about the racism there with at the time I didn't know like Over the home of the K. K K like there's supposed to still operating at Knox, Indiana, and then, like the head of the Aryan Brotherhood, lives in Warsaw, Indiana, So we didn't know when I was like looking at the map and the role we were taking. I didn't particularly picked these places, but yeah, I was extremely rough being called the n word every Five blocks people through boots at us people threw food at us. The police were black and golf, gas stations and Indiana so that we couldn't get gas at them. Telling gas stations and businesses to close could say We were there to burn him down. The women can use the bathroom. We had someone brought us a portable toilet. So Indiana was like 100 degrees for two days. We are these like 30 Miles stretches where there was only one gas station and we weren't allowed to use it. And we're walking like 12 hours a day at that point, so we had to deal with racism, and we had to deal with the heat. And then we had to deal with the police actually spreading the rumors that we were doing these things and plus they were also telling us we can't go down the street or industry and we were. We would always go down whatever street we needed to go down. I would always tell him like no matter what You're not going to stop us from walking and actually established from from from getting the D. C.
