Today is my birthday. More importantly, today is #BreonnaTaylor's birthday. She would have been 27-years-old today. But her life was cut short when police officers broke into her home executing a "no-knock" warrant and shot her eight times. The police were at the wrong house. She's dead because of them. I'd like you to do me a favor on my birthday in honor of her birthday: would every single one of you share today's episode with someone who has never listened. This isn't to promote my show. We're growing just fine. This is because I think today's message is particularly important. We need everyone to ask themselves, when have they seen enough? #WeveSeenEnough. At some point this week, everyone has seen at least one video of police violence that should have shaken their consciousnesses and made them consider for a moment that the problem in our country has been as Black people have said for many years: the police. Maybe it was the video of the 75-year-old man who police officers violently pushed to the ground, cracking his head. And did they help? No, the kept walking over his bleeding skull. Or maybe it was the video of the middle-aged, middle-income white woman in Seattle with her pink biker helmet on being tackled by at least six male police officers. You could see her struggling to cling to her dignity -- pushing herself off the ground. I could imagine her saying in her head, "They will not defeat me. They will not crush me." But in fact, the six men officers did crush her -- one even placed his knee on her neck much like they did #GeorgeFloyd.Something you saw this week had to have shaken you to the core to make you pause and question your fundamental world view. Do me a favor, share this video with someone who may be teetering on the edge of considering the possibility that it hasn't been Black people all this time; it has been the brutality of the police.In this episode, I explain why they have been so brutal to the Black community for generations and why it is they are now extending that cruelty to white America. - Ben

Let them know that the people marching in the streets are the Real American Heroes. --- 🇺🇸 The Real American Heroes 🇺🇸It is important that we do not allow the propaganda machine of the ruling elite to dictate to us who are the real Americans. They will always define "real Americans" as those people who do their bidding. But the real American heroes and heroines are the protestors in the streets laying their lives on the line to break this police state!✊🏿Angry Black Men and Women ✊🏿All our lives, Black people have been told NOT to be seen as "angry black men" or "angry black women." This is because the rulers of this nation understand that it is the righteous indignation and anger of the People that gives us the ability to change this system. And who has more of a right to their anger than Black people? Yes, we are angry. And our anger will change this nation for the betterment of all people. ☮️Peace or Progress ☮️We do not want to sacrifice peace for progress. But we WILL NOT sacrifice progress for peace.

I want to make the argument here as much as I made it in the episode:How is it that people who still waved the flag of the Confederacy get to lay claim on being the "real" Americans. It's not that I have any regard for blind patriotism and nationalism that have been used as a tool of manipulation for generations in service of the ruling elite. No. I'm thinking about how utterly indoctrinated every single American is. Whether we can admit it or not, we have an emotional connection to the "Red, White, and Blue." We've been propagandized with "Americana" since the first day our parents dressed us in our Fourth of July onesies. And it is because of that, I feel we must "capture the flag." Conservatives and the Ruling Elite (of both parties) have decidedly labeled anything to Left of Michael Bloomberg as "foreign" and "seditious," when, in fact, the ruling elite have used the brute force of the police state and propaganda to maintain it's illegitimate hold on political and economic power in this country. In other words, American democracy has been seized by a regime that understood that they could extract endless profits out of the American economy and keep the masses in check with the police state and propaganda. And that is why conservatives can wave the treasonous Confederate flag and no one ever questions their patriotism. The Left needs to capture the flag. Not out of any deference to the American propaganda that has been used to expand imperialism abroad and the police state domestically. But for two reasons:1. If we are ever to reach the masses -- the millions of people who have, like you, been indoctrinated, then we need them to see that the Leftist revolutionaries in the streets right now are upholding the truest spirit of the Constitution -- OUR RIGHT TO REBEL AGAINST ANY GOVERNMENT THAT IS DESTRUCTIVE OF THE ENDS OF LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS. The average American can clearly see that what Trump is doing is the LEAST democratic thing and the LEAST American.2. The history of America has always been made better by the efforts of Leftists. So we have the historical validity necessary to show that we, not this ruling regime, are the real heirs of America. And, therefore, we have the right to shape this country into something that isn't a police state and something that is not imperialist. Now go become a patron. 😀 - Ben
